SLAvERY.-lt appears from the communi.
cations of the Governor of Georgia to the Leg
islature, explaining the reasons of his denun-
Citations of the General Government, that
there is supposed to be cause of great a.
larm in that State, not merely on account Of
the Greeks, but from the circumstance that
Mr.. Writ, the Acknowledgement recently
maintained, -" in ripe and splendid argu-
r1ent" before the Supreme Court, that "sla-
very was contrary to the laws of God and ma
ture." 1t is not pretended that any applica-
ton of the principle is to be made, by which
the rights or property Of the good people o.
Georgia are to be wrested from them, but il
appears to be The abstract principle above
quoted, which is to be resisted; and for which
purpose, among others, the Governor calls on
them to s. stand to their arms ~ That such
an atrocious sentiment was maintained, he
proves by the testimony of Judge Berrien, a
Senator, and Col. Jones, who was at Wash
inston at the time and who, although he did
not hear it from Mr.Wirt, asserts that he ''wa:
present when Mr.. Ingersoll stated it, and did
not object to the statement !" Now it must be
great error TO have persisted so long in
the old fashioned notion. that " all men are
born free and equar'-apd it might be sub.
ject of alarm and reproach, that the Attorney.
General has maintained the doctrine that
7" slavery'is contrary to the laws of God and
natures" for Senator of Georgia declares il
doctrine C of the most alarming character''-
that " the crisis is an awful one''-and that
emo time is 10 be lost in taking measures Of
defence" The Governor echoes the cry, and
the Hon. Mr.. (Tony?) Lumpkin prepares his
resolutions accordingly.

The Fourth of July was celebrated 10
New-York in the highest style. Gen.
Lafayette arrived at that city in the
steamboat from Albany early on Sunday
morning, in order TO be present at the
celebration. The procession on this oc-
casion, we understand, was truly grand
and imposing. The numerous mechan-
ic societies, with their badges, including
the shipwrigbts with beautiful minia-
ture Line Of Battle Ship, added much to
the appearance of the procession
A large body Of troops were review
ed in the Park by General La Fayette.
and were dismissed, after firing sa-
lutte. The stripes and stars were dis
played on board of the vessels in port,
on the flag slaves and many of the pub
lie houses in the city, and salutes fired
from the different forts and ships in the
harbour. The whole is said to have
formed scene Of magui6cence, which
has seldom, if ever, been equalled in this
country on any similar occasion. 1t is
calculated that between 40 and $4,000
strangers we're in the city.

top of it fell across her body. She was at first
considered dangerously hurt, but is now, we
understand, in fair way TO recover. No
other person was materially injured. Three

ENGLAND. The political elements in En-
gland appear TO be in state OF efervescence
and commotion, occasioned by the refusal of
the House of Lords to sanction the Bill, which
had passed the Commons, for Catholic eman-
cipation. BY the existing Laws, Catholics
are ineligible TO seats in Parliament, end to
most other Offices under the Crown. The
proposed law was 10 have removed these re-
strictions. At the head Of the party in favor
of emancipation, are the King and the Secre-
tary of Foreign affairs, George Canning; who
are opposed by the Duke of York, who is next
heir TO the Throne, and by Lord Liverpool
and the Lord Chancellor, Eldon. 1t is to be
hoped that the liberal party may prevail dur
ing the present reign, as the Duke of York
has expressed his determination to oppose it,
at all times, and under all circumstances. 1t
is therefore probable, should such an act pass
after his accession to the throne, that it would
not receive bis assent.

MEssRs. EDIToRs.-Y willplease to com.
municate, for the benefit Of farmers, the follow
ing simple method to gain 25 per cent. on hay
designed for the market, without injuring the
sale. Other plans have been tried, but none
have been so successful.
Let the grass, if large, be cut late in the af-
tcrnoon--if otherwise, in the morning. Shake
it moderately in the forenoon and load it be-
fore night Of the same day. Let il remain on
the cart in the field until the next afternoon,
when il is TO be removed 70 the barn of the
purchaser. If he examines il on the cart it
will he found to be well made. How can it
be otherwise, when it has been cut two days ?
Bring two loads at time, and your spare man
will save the purchaser the trouble of assist
ing TO unload it.
N. B,-.This method succeeds only when the
load is to be weighed--as % cwt. would on

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.


1t becomes our melancholy duty to record
the death of four men, who were drowned by
the sinking of boat on Browning's Pond in
Rutland, on the 5th inst. viz. Doct. Howe,
Timothy Ruggles, Jonas Howe, and William
Hammond. There were, in all, i've persons
in the boat; one of whom, Stephen w. Day,
formerly of this town, being good swimmer,
was saved. We understand that he permit
ted DR.. Howe to hold by his coat, and had
carried him to within a few rods of the shore,
when, finding he could not proceed any far
thcr, thus encountered, he was compelled to
break away and abandon him to mis- fate.
DR.. Howe was an enterprising young man,
Of great promise in his profession, and with
Aattering prospects Of success before him.
But the day before, he had amputated a
mans arm, who had been injured by the fir
ing of cannon. BY this sudden dispensa-
ton of Providence, gloom is cast over the
town which will not soon nor easily be dissi-
pated. {" In The midst of life we are in DEATH

TO the cmrious.-!t is said, observes the
Knoxville (Tenn.) Register, of the goth ult.
that, on the sinking of the steamboat Eclipse.
near Nashville, bales of cotton on board
weighing AGO lbs. when taken out ofthe water.
weighed 1900 lbs A body of water, the size
OF 400lb. bale of cotton, will not weigh 1900
lbs: how then is it, that the same bulk of
cotton, immersed in water, will weigh more
We have seen the above in most of the pa
pers we have received, but none of them,
that we know of, has attempted to answer the
question. The reason why bale of cotton,
when saturated with water, weighs more than
the same bulk Of water, is the very simple
one, that cotton is heavier than water; that
is, any given quantity Of cotton weighs more
than the water, itdisplaces when immersed.
IT any evidence of this is wanted, let rope
or cord be made of cotton and throw il into
water, and il Immediately sinks |; so also will
cotton cloth or cotton itself, as soon as it has
had time to become saturated If, on the
other hand, cotton was specifically lighter
than water, however completely the bales
might be saturated, they could not be made
to weigh SO much as the same bulk of water.

Register, containing a general list of all the

with the names Of their propretors which is
published once in two months, and will be
found very convenient for those who have oc-
casion to travel.
Two other semi-weekly papers are also pro-
posed in Boston-one to be called the 6 Con-
stitutiOnal Republicau,'' and edited by Alden
Bradford, Esq. 1t will unquestionably be con-
Quoted with ability. The other is to be cali

sor Everett, Judge Story, Daniel Webster,
and other able men, will be contributors toits
