Nicholson, for various Public Documents for warded to us, through their politeness, during the late session of the Legislature. The Weather.-For the last week we have bad very remarkable weather, the days being as warm as we-generally have in the month of April, and the nights yielding a slighi frost, on Monday, (Christmas Day,) it was warm enough to dispense with fire, and the belles and beaux were enabled to pay their Christmas visits, witho't being forced to hide their beau ty, 'in dressand figure, by their cloaks and over coats. On -yesterday the sun did not show itself, the day was dark and lowering, with a threatening aspect; in fact. the winter, so far, in this section of country. hasu been nu commonly mild, but, we would advise ourFar mers and Planters to keep a good look out for their Cattle, as there may be - breakers ahead," and in the months of February and March we may be visited by Jack Frost, after he has satis fied himself with punishing our Northern bre. thren.

C Singleton, about 20 miles belowv Columbia. Her cargo, which consisted of t196 bates of Couon, a portion of which was taken in at night, and it is supposed that the fire originated from the lights used in taking the bales otn board, as no steam had been raised on the boat for some hour.. p,.ioue to the accident. -The.Kershaw,(says the Chrlestonl Courier), was owned by Messrs. Hlilliard & Brooles, amnd we understand was not insured. From a state at made to us the loss of the Cotton would -also fail on te shippers, as it hmad been the cus tomn for 'the owners of the boat to take time ri,.k, whenever the freight was at 876 cents per bale' erbiks the shipper at his ownt risk could obtain freight at 75. n this instance the wvhole was ship jed at' the rate of 75 cents. T:.e -. u e 1os,inendiling boat, is estimated at over4,000 Death of Judge Thompson.-The National Intelligencer states that Judge Smith Thomnp won, died at his residence, near Poughkeepsie, N. Y., on Monday the 1i8th inst,, in the seven sy.semnth yea of his age. -MJtfrderersescaped.--The Federal Union u..ys, SWe understandthat D.J.

New Albany, land Missouri--the amount of Bagging manufactured at those establishments - yearly,Iis estimated at 10,200,000 yards. The City of Giants-The Hamburg Joifnal *of the 20th inst., says : " It is an undeniable facet, that there are at this time in Hambumrg, a larger number of tall chaps than ever resided here before. The extreme measures are from North Carolina Democratic Conventi i-T -body assembled at Raleigb on the 13th; apd a journed on the 15th inst., after'liising chose Louis D.

Georgia Democratic Convention.-On Mor day the 11th inst., the Georgia Democrat State Convention, was organized, at Milledg ville, by appointing Clhnrles J. McDonald, Esq President, and Frederick -H..

The following rest lutions were, in connection with a brief state ment of the causes of the late defeats sustair,e by the Democratic Party in that State, repor ed by the Committee appointed for that put pose, and unanimonsiy adopted: " Resutocd, That the Democratic Party c this State approves of th, Convention th It held at Baltimore in May next,-for the purpos ornominating-candidates for the office of 're sident and Vice President of the United States and that the said Convention should be lef free to determine upon its mode.of organiza tion and action.

The Washington Spectatot in speaking -a thoabsurd assertions,-made by some correspon d dent of the Richmond Enquirer, in relation to Mr. Calhoun, says: "Many questions are to arise' in .Congress r. -the tariff amongst them'-which-must be set 4 tied before it can be .determiped. who will be the candidate of the Democratic party for the Presidency. It is by no means impossiblo that, by, May next, Mr. Van Buren may riot wiit for his friends to withdraw him, but witlhdratv himself." We regret to do any thing which may tend to dampen the joy of any of our fellow citizens. 1 Ciayites though they be, but great as are their gratulations at having Mr. Van Buren astlie opponent of Mr. Clay in 1844, we most tell them that we do not believe the:.Democratic party is quite "soft enough" for-that.. They f need not lay to .their souls the fl.ttering unc: tion of again walking over the course as they did in 1840. It is beyond the power of man,. as affairs now are, to tell who.will be the candidate of the party. The fricds of all carndidates seem to be flily united in 'doing their 'duty, to the country, and giving their support to the.ptin ciples of the party. while they are willing to compromise all :differences-of opinion-which soldy regard men, 'and to join; at the proper time. in a zealous and ardent advocacy of that individual, who, being thoroughly with us in principlo, is most available for election. The Clharlestou Mercury thus expresses the idea; it is generally applicable to other questions than Free Trade, to other candidates than Mr. Van Buren. - "If we cannot support the Democratic creed, the true cteed, with Free Trade at its head, in supporting Mr. Van Buren, then will we never support him, though forty Conventions should unanimously noiniate him. And if we can support that creed best by supporting him, we shall take good care not to allow the interests of any man to interfere." This is the true Democratic doctrine; we support him, by whom we can best support our "creed." He who does not support it, we will under no circumstances sustain. National Convention.-The Democracy of Boston, in town meeting, have -confirmed the selection of Charles G. Greene. Esq. the Edi tor of the Boston Post, as delegate to the Na tional Convention. Two tickets were run, one headed "Democratic Ticket," upon which was the name of Mr. Greene-the other head ed " Van Buren Ticket," upon which was the name of Mr. Bolles. The foilowing was the r.esult of the vote : For Charles G. Greene, 506 John A. Bolles, .. 351 Discovery in Mexico.-A discovery has transpired that will gratify the antiquarian and the philosopher.-A letter has been received from the sub perfect of Trotilian, in the departure of Ojaca, announcing the discovery of a former city near Ojaca. These ruins are situated in a valley called las Juntas, in the environs of the village of Quiotefee.-Charleston Patriot. FROM MEXICO. By the arrival of the ship Tippecanoe,, from Vera Cruz, we have received advices from the city of Mexico to the 25tb ult. The papers contain little that is new. The re-elction ofSanta Aanna is confirmed.. A letter from the northern frontier of Mexico. dated October 24th,. and addressed the editor of the Courier Francais, says ; Every thing here goes on tranquilly. The government party has triumphed in the elections. The cars of the Santa Fe tra ders now depecsit their goods at the Custom House. This would seem to.indicate the cessation of the scandalous system smug gling heretofore carried on. Cummar~che Indians annoy us occasionmlly by their robberies of mules, borses and cattle, hut with them we are at war. The A paches, with hn mw r at peace, are, neverthie less, equally expert in roguery--their thefts are, however, unaccompanied by murder as-was formerly too often the case. The U. S. frigate Constitution lefl the Upper California on the 27th O.ctober, for the R epublic of South -America. N. 0. Bce, I.'th inst. Maiico.--N either of our papers or cor respondenice contain anything regarding the expedition for Yucatan,or the difficulty of the British. Minister. The British squad. -ron said some time since to have been seen in the Gulf, had not arrived in Vera Cruz r when the Tippecanoe sailed-M1r. Alas. minister of the general national treasury, died on the lith ult. Caryafort, Lord George Pau let, arrived at -Mo)ntery, California, about the .Middle of November. We annex a transalation of Government, Micheltorena's letter to the Mexican Governor, giving no account of the viskr of Commodore Kearney. lOn TER EY, California, Oct. 2d1. Excellent Sir-The U. S. ship of war r Constellation. Corn. Kearney, monnting Iforty.six gnus, and a crew of three bun dred and forty men, from China via the Sandwich Islands, arrived in this port. rA fter anchoring and firing the customary ,salute, which was prormoptly answered by me, the Commodore in full uniform, ac .companietd by his officers, landed to pay his respects, and was recehted by me anid -my officers with all the etiquite due to r his rank, His iuvitation to visit thie Constellation' Iwas accepted by me and followed by a re i quest that he would favor us- with his .company at the ball, by which we were -then to celebrare the new Constitutiorn of' the Republic. The Commodore brings intelligence Sthat the Sandwich Islands were restored to. their legitimate sov'ereign.. The Commodore gpresented me with a variety of' Chinese curiosities, and I re turned the compliment by offering him several articles from this Departikient, r together wvith a large Mexican fiag. The Constellation sailed for the south ern l.art of the Republic. MAUer. AlICHEk.ToRENIA: Miinister of War and Marine Mezico. A uimilar. letter was despatched with the, par ticulars-of the reception of Lord Gees r Paulet, between whom end the Mexican authorities similar courtesies passed. In different parts of the Replibblic the news of the re-election of Santa Ana was received with apparent satisfaction, and made the occasion of unusual feattivities. -Buletin of same- daite. Oregon.--We lenin, says the New IY-ork Sun.-that instruction hnre been for warded to Mr. Packenham, the new Eng. lisi M aikshr Plenipolentiary to ihe United Statesf rordiscuss the Oregonqueestion It is probable that 'throgir this channel an amvincblei arrangement ynay be made as to territurial limits, which is: mnch more de sirable than taking forcible piossession-of any part of the territory actually beong ing ,to us. In'such cases as territory, the question of right and principle can be set tled by negotiation. Political Equivalents.-Tt seems -very evident that the West will, in future, asseir its claims'in Congress to a corresponding share with the Atlantic States in the ap propriatioflil(or river and harbour improve thents -and ' fortifications: The force of numbers -will effect what the voice ofjus tice has failed to accompilish,.to wit a more equal- distribution of expedientures by the general government between the two great divisons of the Union. In this way will nearly every enactment that passes Con gress for Atlantic improvements have con. nected-with it, as an equivalent, a law pro viding for Western improvements. The balance of benefits from expedientores will. be: adjusted hereafteb on principles ofdis tributive justice and by a numericalcour terpoise. The West like the South, has been shaved out of its proportional benefits i as compared with its contributions to the I common revenue. The expedientures have I gone in a constant current where the politi cal power has been. It is to be hoped that a union of the South and West will at hest effect what eloquent remonstrance and ap peals to a sense of political equity have railed to Eccomplish.-Southern Patriol. The Neutrals.-A writter in a late I number of the Democratic Review thus forcibly describes that peculiar class of bipeds, ycleped, political "neutrals." - The picture is true and well drawn i Yurneutral mian in politics is just the person upon whom the contempt of mankind may be heaped without the fear t of injustice ; the saliva of an honest, free- I thoughted citizen is too precious an oiht- I ment to bestw upon Win: he is good for nothing,'and deserving of notltig; the Greeks of old were not mistaken in -derl- I ving from his case the word 'Idiot ;' and yet such people gp about the very pictu res of complacency, and, glorying in their name, boasts that they are no party-men. They may see rogues in high pluces, the l wicked fonrishing like a green bay-tree, and honesty and public virtue chilled to to death in his shadow, but they are un moved by the saddening spectacle, be cause they are no party-men." A Couple of Facts.-"W hen England will reduce her duties, we will .reduce ours, when England will receive our pro ductions, we will take lers."-IWhig talk. Now look at a couple of facts. The average of the English duty is only 11 per cent, while ours is nearly 40 per cent. In 1S12, England received of us produce to the amount of more than FIFTY MILLIONS of dollars; while we re ceived of her less than FORTY MIL LIONS.' Away with- your hypocricy ! You want a PROTECTIVE Tariff, and you mena to have- it at all events.-Fre derickshirg Recorder. Remarkable.-in digging a well lately in the toin of Bunker Hill in Illinois, which is situated in the middle of a large prairie, a cedar log was l'ound emabeded in the earth three feet below the surface. It was cut and found to be six inches thick, and in a sound state. H4ow it got thtere exceeds our powers of speculationa, In YENEAL. MA RRIED, Ott th6~ 14th inst. by Rev-. D. D. Drnnson, Capt.
