ocean on thai day Consistency would seem to require it.. Nor is it cef9S;n vge should stop here. If the principle is once es- tablished, that religion or reIiri0us ohservart- ccs, shall be interwOyen with our lerislative acts, we must puFsae it fo its uItimsfunn.-.- We shall, if consistent provide fur the erection Of edifces for the worship ofthe Crgator.aud for the support of Christian ministers. if we believe such measures will promote the inter-. ests of Christianity. Itis the settled cODvie. ton of the committee, that the only method of avoiding these consequences, with their at- tendant train Ofevils. is to adhrre strictly for the spirit of the Constitution, which regards the General Government in no other lieht than that of civil institntiOn, totally destitute of religious authority.
 What other nations call religious tOlcration we call religious rights. They are not exer- cised tn virtue of governmental indulgence. hut as rghts,Of which government cannot deprive any portion of citizens however small. sDes- potic power may invade those rights, but i,ls. tice still confirms them. Let the National Le- gslature once perform an act which involves the decision of a religious controversy, and it will have passed its legitimate bounds. The precedent will then be established, and thv foundation laid for that usurpaiion Of the Di- NIUc VFcTOSdtNe ID tuS COuntfy, WbtGh na6 been the desolating scOurge t0tbe fairest pOr- tiOns of the old world. Our EOnstfutiOn re- cognizcs no other power than that Of pcrst,a- sion. for enforcing religious ohseryances. Let the professors of christianity recommend their religion by deeds sf bene, Oence-by Chris tian meekness-bS lives Of temperance and holiness. Let them combine their efforts to instruct the ignorant-to relieve the widow and the orphan--to promt,lgatc to the world the Gospel nf their Sasior. recommending it's precepts ny their habitual example: Govern ment will find its legitimate object in protect ing them. It cannot oppose them. and they will not need its aid. Their moral influence N ll then do infinitely more to advance the true interests of religion, than any m. :.snres which they may call on congress to enact.
 The petitioners do moi ceinpiain of any in- Judgement upon their own rights. They en- joy all that hrisiians ought to ask at the hand of any gOs ernment--lT"tectian from all r,0lcstati0n in the exercise 0f their reii- giOns sentiments.

 Nu NSttVSSVsu HCttrJuby khTtSSitfu that the levee of Wednesday, was the last le- wee of the present session. ihcre was an unn- s,,ally large concourse of visitors. The East Room, where the band was stationed, was thrOnged to excess: and before nine o'clock three or four cotllion parties had formed themselves as well as the pressure would per- init, and were busily engaged in threading the maxy dance. About ten o'clnck the doors of the South West Room were thrown out, and a range of supper tables was displayed.in the centre of the principal of which Mr. and Mrs. Adams were stationed, upposite tn each 0ih- CT. The tables were covered with all the dishes customary at an evening rrpast of the first order, and with wines of peculiar excel lence; and the whole vas arranged with inc utmost propriety and good taste. An elegant plateau adorned the chief table, extending nearly two thirds of its length,on which were several candelahras of corresponding beauty. Every thing was in profnsion. and the hest of it's kind; and the cheerfulness and courtesy of the dpnors ofthc feast threw over all tho scene a'charm which will long be cherished, with pleasure. among the "reminiscences ofpo- lite hospitality. 1t was near midnight before the delightful melody of Home--sweet Home" gave the signal for general disper- siOn.-fbid.

One oil the arguments urged IN the course Of this
debate, Mr.. C. thought it his duty, to recall to the
particular attention of the Senate. 1t had been sta
ted that the present senatorial districts of the State
had been equally arranged at the session of 1861,
on the basis Of white population, ascertaincd by
the federal census of the year $780, and thence it
contended that if these districts should now be
selected TO choose equal numbers Representatives
in Convention, this selection, would amount to u re-
cognton, the part of the Legislature of the prin-
cipe ofwhite population as the only admissible ba-
sis of representation. Against any such Inference,
Mr.. c. protested, at with the object express
~ avowed by himself and friends, for selecting these
established divisions of the State; and conradc-
ted by the anxiety so abundantly shewn by the op-
position to graduate the representation from these
districts, in conformity to the federal census of the
year 1890.

TOBACCO.

respectfully take leave to return nv Dartic,1-
u lar thanks to those planters who have been friend
iy as to lnrust the management of their Tobacco to
as Salesman ut the Public Warehouse. l hope it is
not necessary for to say, that nv best exertions
have been used to render general satisfaction again
tender them the same attention. nay more, myhealh
trust has been restored-l would here remark to NV
friends for whom have done business as well as ma
ny others for whom hopeto be gcd, that this no
tce woudnot have been introduced upon them out for
the offer OF Mr.. Lakeland TO do business at the same
place as q competitor. Our friends will please direct
their Tobacco to the other of they may sec
cause, which will save any thing like contention. It
should not be expected that when there is fair
competition IN this way that the inspectors would
feel themselves in any way Interested particularly
If the same patronage extended 20 the Warehouse
as heretofore by the Planters. Should any Tobac-
co be directed TO the Ware house without specifyin
any preference in the Salesman, the owner will re-
collect that he has the right to choose for himself
even on the day OF sale The situation of sales
man is in no way connected with any of the
other duties of the Warehouse. Consequently
it is held alone by the patronage of the Planters
and dealers. Surely can give better evidence of
my attachmentto the interest of the Planters and my
anxiety to promote their interest than to annex tho
following names, composing large majority of the
principal buyers, who have kindly directed me to
give reference to them by way of showing their sa-
tsaction to my mode of doing business as Salesman
The particular patronage of such dealers is worth morn
TO the growers of Tobacco than any other evidence
that have to ofer--for such expression of their
feelings, have only to return my humble thanks-
The inspectors receipt for all Tobacco sent to me will
be returned to the owner consequently shall wait his
order for its inspection and sale. All expenseg paid
if directed by the subscriber-Ofice at the Ware
house. II. 3. MONTAGUE

nSSI CSdtc average OF IA years, ~ -
The circumstances which have produced the prin-
cpal fluctuations, are given as follows, by the
gentleman who has so carefully preserved the record
From 1894, to So scarcity in France and England;
from 9G to 1900, export to England; 1900, to 1901
scarcity in England 1904 and D. scarcity in Spain;
1903 and %, long embargo 1909, 10 and II, PENN
sula war; 1919, 49, and'i4, war with England 1916
and II, scarcity in England" To this we may add
the cause of an advance during the latter part of
1928, viz scarcity in Europe particularly in England
The state OF the currency in 1914 and rs of course
had an effect on the prices of those years. 1t de-
to be considered ALSO that the quantity ofcr
cuating medium and the value of all sorts of rner-
chandise have iluctuated. We have calculated the
average price Of each year. and the aggregate ave-
rage OF the whole time The highest yearly average
was that Of 1896, viz $3.50; the lowest that of
l826: VIZ. S4,65. The lowest price in March 1821
VIZ. S75; and the highest price in March 1896, viz.
SIS In one instance the price remained without any
change for eleven months, but in very many Others
it has uctuated two dollars or two dollars and fifty
cents within few days.
