GENERAL SELECTIONS.
The Recent Panic. An interesting book is
td be published this day, by Mr. Saunders,
357 Broadway, illustrative of some of the more
prominent events of the recent panic. It is
entitled "lhe Adventures 01 narry franco.
This work is, we understand, expected to ex
cite an unusual degree of public attention, as
well from the subject of which it treats aa
from the skill and ability with which the in
terest of the narrative is sustained. The au
thor preserves a strict incognito, but it is con
jectured that he will speedily become as great
a favorite with the reading, world as the de
servedly popular author of "Peter Simple,"
whose style he is said more closely to resem
ble than that of any other writer of the present
day. The same publisher also issues, to-day,
"The Dwarf," a dramatic poem of consider
able pretensions, by James Rees, the editor of
thf Beauties of Webster, &c. .Yew York

By the schooner G. YV. Wetter, from Vera
Cruz, $29,000 was received. Notwithstand
ing the continued imports of the precious me
tals, exchange is on the rise. Checks at
sight command 1 a 1 1-2 percent, premium,
and bills on London 9 a 9 1-2. This is not
caused by any .inactivity in our market, as
most all the staple articles of produce are in
good demand. Yesterday 5000 bales of cotton
were sold at full prices, and notwithstanding
the complaints that are heard of the scarcity of
money, and difficulty of negociatious, we in
cline to the opiaion that credit must be easy,
from the fact that judgments to an enormous
amount are standing against some of the par
ties who are now the leading operators in cot
ton. This total diregard to punctuality is,
doubtless, the cause of the credit of our busi
ness men being held in such low estimation
abroad. Louisianian.
Crops. Within the last week, says the
Chillico the (Ohio) Advertiser, we took a short
excursion into the country and as far as our
observation extended, the wheat fields show
every appearance of producing an abundant
crop. Accounts fiom the adjoining counties
say that the prospects are equally favorable.

Interesting from Havana. We have been
informed by a gentleman just arrived from
Havana, in whose veracity full confidence
may be placed, that great discontent prevailed
among the natives of the Island. They are
much dissatisfied with the European Span
iards, who have seized upon all the employ
ments, civil and military. There are some
apprehensions of a revolt. Robberies, mur
ders and burning of houses have re-commenced
in the city of Havana. It was feared that
the Governor General, Espellatta, would find
a difficult task in suppressing the effervescence
that was beginning to manifest itself in the
minds of the Creole. Ibid.
EDITORIAL ADDRESS.
Rivington, the king's priuter, it is known,
wa3 a terrible Tory during the revolutionary
war, and was assailing the rebels. Ethan
Allen, the dare devil of Veimont, determined
to give him a licking; and some reminiscen
ces in this mornings Express, shew the clever
manner in which Riv ington got rid of the un
pleasant affair:
He had been bold in his misrepresentations
of the "Rebels," and so personal in his re
marks, that although he had assurances from
Governor Clinton, of safety for his person and
property, yet there were some expected visi
tors he did not wish to sec. lhe foremost of
these was Ethan Allen. Rivington was a
fine portly looking man, and wore powder.
At last Allen appeared. His clerk who first
saw him, well knew his master's horror for
Allen. Rivington afterwards gave to Mr.
Dualapthe following account of the meeting:
"I was sitting after a good dinner, alone with
my bottle of Madeira before me, when I heard
an unusual noise in the street, and an huzza
from the boys. I was in the second story,
and on stepping to the window, saw a tall
figure in tarnished regimentals, with a large
cocked hat and an enormously long sword,
followed by a crowd of boys, who occasionally
cheered him with huzzas, of which he seemed
insensible. lie came up to my door and
stopped. I could see no more my heart told
me it was Ethan Allen. I shutdown my
window, and retired behind my table and bot
tle. I was certain the hour of reckoning was
come. There was 110 retreat. Mr. Staples,
my clerk, came in paler than ever, and clasp
ing his hands, said, 'Master, he has come. I
know it. He entered the store and asked if
James Rivington lived here. I answered,
Yes sir.' 'Is he at home?' 'I will go and see,
sir, I said; and now master what is to be done?
There he is, sir, in the store and the boys
peeping at him from the street. I had made up
my mind I looked at the Madeira possibly
took a glass. 'Show him up,' said I and I
thought if such Madeira cannot mollify him,
he must be harder than adamant. There was
a fearful moment of suspense. I listened I
heard him on the stairs, and heard his
long sword clanking on every step. In he
stalked. 'Is your name James Rivington?'
It is sir, and no man could be more happy to
see General Ethan Allen take a chair, sir,
by tiie table;, and afterwards a glass of this
Madeira.' lie sat down and began 'Sir, I
come.' 'Not a word General, till you take a
glass, and I filled, ten year old, on my own
keeping another glass, sir, and then we will
talk of old affairs. Sir, we finished two bot-
The following line description of the White
Mountains, we extract from the Democratic Review.
The author, Mr. H. Hibbard, is evidently possessed
of genius; and the complete mastery which he has
acquired of the Spenserian measure, shows a high
cultivation cf the art of poetry:
The blackening hills close round the beetling cliff
On either hand towers to the upper sky
I pass the lonely inn the yawning rift
Grows narrower still, until the passer by
Beholds himself wafted in by mountains high,
Like everlasting barriers, which frown
Around, above, in awful mcjesty
Still on, the expanding chasm deepens down
Into a vast abyss which circling mountains crown.
The summer air is cooler, fresher, here
The breeze is hushed, and all is calm and still
Above, a strip of the blue heaven's clear
Qoerulean is stretched from hill to hill,
Through which the sun's short transit can distill
No breath of fainting sultriness---the soul
Imbued with love of nature's charms, can fill
Itself with meditation here, and hold
Co:r.munion deep with oil that round it doth unfold.
Thou, reader of these lines, who dost inherit
That love of earth's own loveliness which flings
A glow of chastened feeling o'er the spirit,
And lends creation half its colorings
Of light and beauty---who from living things
Dost love to 'scape to that beatitude
Which from converse with secret nature springs,
Fly to this green and shady solitude,
High hills, clear streams, blue lakes, and everlast
ins woods!
And as thou muscst'mid these mountains will,
Their grandeur thy rapt soul will penetrate,
Till with thyself thou wilt be reconciled,
If not with man---thy thoughts will emulate
Their calm sublime- thy little passions---hate,
Envyinrr and bitterness -if such be found
Within thy breast- these scents will dissipate,
And lend thy mind a tone cf joy profound,
An impress from the grand and mighty scenes
around.
O! that some bard would iise---true heir of glory,
With the full power 5f heavenly poesy,
To gather up each o'd romantic story
That lingers round these scenes in memory,
And consecrate to immortality
Some western Scott, within whose bosom thrills
That fire which burnetii to eternity,
To pour his spirit o"cr these mighty bills
And make them classic ground, thrice hallowed by
his spells!
DEBATE IN COXGRESS.
SPEECH OF MR. BENTON,
CONCLUDED.
Sir, said Mr. B. I pursue this bill of May,
1836, one step further: I pursue it into the
fourth section, and see that nothing but a war
with a foreign poxcev could have wrested the
distribution of the $55,OUO,000 and given the
Treasury a right to retain the $24,S77,169 re
ceived from the public lands in 1S36, and the
$6,776,236 received from them iu 1S37. By
the terms of the act, the distribution was to
go on without regard to any thing but a for
eign icar, and the 32,1.00,000, received
from tha lands iu '36 and '37 were to belong
to the States, and to be paid to them, without
the least regard to the condition of the public
Treasury. It was a specific appropriation of
the proceeds of the lands, and as such would
have been paid over to the States, on the days
named in the act. The '.'shutting up," of the
Treasury would have made no difference: the
stoppage of the banks would have made no
difference; there was no foreign war the ap
propriation was specific and absolute and
the delivery of the money to the States would
have been compulsory and inevitable. What
then? W hy, that notwithstanding the retrac
tive disbursements from the "Treasury of the
before received revenues from the lauds of
1833," '34 and '35 notwithstanding the at
tempt to disburse these old expended revenues
might have bankrupted the deposite banks
vet the current receipts from the lands for '36
and '37 would have been turned over to the
States as they came in! The $25,b00,0uu
(nearly) of '36 would have gone to the States,
the $7,000,000 (nearly) of '37 with the
banks all stopped with the Treasury shut up
with the Congress together to provide the
ways and means of keeping the Government
in motion with the duties from customs siuk
ing down to nothing merchants' duty bonds
postponed balances from the banks delayed
for many mouths; with all this we should have
been paying out to the States the $7,t00,000
of hard money received from the lauds in
1837, and which $7,000,000 in specie was
the sheet anchor of the Government in that
disastrous year, and the only thing which
saved it from degradation and ruin of using
depreciated paper money and shinplasters!
Mr. .President, we hear much ot the inca
pacity, the ignorance, the incompetency, and
the recklessness of the Jackson administra
tion; we hear much of all this from the Oppo-
. ajl 1 - it . --
sition, wiiuuui weir Deing aoie to specify a
measure to which these epithets will apply;
but there is an act of the Opposition to choose
between a confession of absolute incapacity
to manage the public affairs, or of a deliberate
design to bankrupt the Treasury and the
banks.
No, Mr. President, the Jackson adminis
tration was not ignorant, was not reckless,
was not incompetent; and to hurl such epi
thets that administration, is to hurl them at
the people, by whom that administration was
created and has been sustained.
To attack that administration, approved as
it was in the triumphant second election of
General Jackson, is to attack the capacity of
the people for self-government! It is to attack
the elective principle of our Constitution, and
to say that principle ought to be abolished, and
an hereditary ruler given as a guardian to
those who were so incompetent to choose their
own Chief Magistrate.
No, sir! - Great are the services which
General Jackson has rendered to his country
great in the field- still greater in the cabi
net. His civil administration was a contin
ued series of patriotic exertions, the emanci
pation no less of a heroic soul, than of a sa
gacious head, and a patriotic heart. Noue
but a hero could have acted the part, in civil
affairs, which he did. Above all men who
have lived in our eventful times, a single in
dividual, perhaps, alone excepted, he will be
stamped the hero-statesman of the age. I
have heretofore endeavored to do some jus
tice to his various, transceudant, and victo
rious policy. I have endeavored to present
some views of his numerous, brilliant, and
successful ameliorations at home, and nego
tiations abroad. I have endeavored to pre
sent him as posterity will view him, covered,
illustrated, irradiated with every species of
glory, and above all with the glory cf useful
ness with the glory of having improved the
condition, bettered the circumstances, advan
ced the fortune, and peisoually benefitted ev
ery industrious inhabitant which the country
contains. I have endeavored tc do this; aud
I appeal to the present unparalleled, unrival
led, unprecedented, unexampled, universal,
pervading, and exulting prosperity of the COUU-.
try for the truth and hdehty ot the pictures
which I have endeavored to draw. It is not
my intention to repeat, on the present occa
sion, which I have heretofore delivered on this
subject; but there is one point which, though
heretofore mentioned, has never been present
ed with fullness, individually, and develope-
ment which its importance and masnitude
deserves: I allude to our cotton production
and its influence upon the wealth and indus
ty of every portion of this extended Union,
and the part which General Jackson has acted
in bringing that production to what it now is,
and to what it must be. What was the extent
of our cotton growing territory before the vic
torious arms of General Jackson acquired for
us the vast region of the South and South
west? It was a part of South Carolina, a part
of Georgia, some slips in North Carolina,
Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
What is it now? It is all Florida, all Geor
gia, all Alabama, all Mississippi, all Louisi
ana, all Arkansas, South Carolina, a part of
North Carolina, a third of Tennessee, and a
slip in Missouri. In tentorial extent our cot
ton growing region has been increased more
than ten fold by the victorious arms of Gen.
Jackson over the Southern Indians, and by
his still more victorious policy over the politi
cal allies ot those Indians their federal a
lies whose struggle it was to retain them in
the Southern States to diminish their political
importance, and to cripple their advance.
W hat was the value of our cotton export be
fore ihese great operations of General Jack
son began? It was fourteen millions of dol
lars. What was it now? It is eighty mil
lions. And what is its capacity of augmen-
taiion: inmost iimiuess ana nounaiess, or
only limited by the wants of Europe, Asia,
Africa, and the two Americas; for, to all these
countries, even to the Ganges and the Black
sea, to the Cape of Good Hope, and to Tietra
del Fuego do our American cottons now go.
And what is the influence of this vast produc
tion, so amazingly augmented under the vic
torious policy, of one man what is its influ
ence upon the industry, the pursuits, and the
wealth of every part of this extended Coufera
cy? Toaiiswer, thisquestiou,letth3 mind's eye
figure to itself a map of this Union, and then
contemplate every species of industry which
is carried oti upon ihe vast diversified domain
which it represents. Let him look at our
shipping interest from the Chesapeak to Passa
maquaddy bay, all finding its greatest and
richest employment iu carrying our cotton
abroad, and bringing back the productions of
so many nations received in exc hange fr it.
Let him see our most opulent men ha; ts,
throughout the whole extent of our coast, from
New Oleans to New Yotk, all bottoming
iheir largest operations upon the cotton of the
South. Look to lhe manufacturing iudo-try
of the whole Noitheast, of which Massachu
setts may be taken, as aa example, and as the
highest pattern; manufactures of leather, cot
tou, wool, irou, brass, tiu, wood, glass, stone,
&c, the grand aggregate of which, in all the
Noitheast, may be judged of from the annual
product of near ninety millions of dollars for
Massachusetts alone; and a goodly proportion
of the whole of which finds its market in the
same cotton growing region. Crossing tha
Alleghany mountains, and decending upon
the Western waters, see 12 millions of mann.
factured articles, the product of the industry
of three or four miles square at the confluence
of the Alleghany and Monongahala; see these
twelve millions annually going off from Pitts
burgh, and the largest part going to the cotton
planters of the South; while many other towns
and villages of the West on a smaller scale,
emulate the meritorious example of "the Bir
mingham of the IVesl." Then see the ag
ricultural States of the Great Valley. See
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
with their vast production's of grain, and their
innumerable herds and flocks, all finding the
richest market in the same region. Turning
to the Middle States, where the value of labor,
for a long time, has been so much reduced,
we see that value in Virginia, Maryland, N.
Carolina and Tennessee, has found a vast
augmentation from the cultivation of cotton.
So that in every part of this extended Con
federacy, and over every species of Creative
industry, the augmented cultivation of cotton
the fruit of General Jackson's military
achievements and civil policy, has extended
its benefits, and shed its benign influences.
The North, the East, the West, and the Mid
dle States the cities aud the country ag
riculture, manufactures, and commerce all,
all find employment for their industry, and
rich rewards for their skill and labor in that
perennial fountain of national wealth the
cotton growing region of the South which,
while it showers cold upon all others, is itself
largely deprived of its own advantages by il
lusive systems of political economy a sys
tem which leads it to purchase every thing by
the p;iper money standard of the U. States,
while it sells the only article it produces by
the hard money standard of Europe! Every
part ot this Union feels the beneficent effects
of the cotton crops; and no part feels it more
than the agricultural region of Kentucky, and
the manufacturing districts of Massachusetts,
and I speak from the knowledge of mv own
senses. I have lately received an authentic
return of the annual manufactures of Massa-
chuscits, and speak upon unimpeachable au
thority. Kentucky and Massachusetts are
the two States of this Union which have pro
fited most bv the military victories and the
civil administration of General Jackson; they
are the two States of this Union which should
be bound to him by the strongest ties of grati
tude and affection. lhe agriculturalist 01
Kentucky is now on the high road to wealth,"
hi;3 prosperity reposes upon a solid aud im
perishable basis. His cattle, his mules, his
horses, his hemp, all wanted in tha South,
command the highest price, fill his coffers with
vast sums of money, aud reflect upon his
lands an unprecedented value. It is no lon
ger the illusions of the "golden fleece," two
thousand dollars for a sheep, intrinsically worth
twenty shillings, and now sunk to that price
it is no longer the detective dream of the
ephemeral illusions which tickled and beguil
ed the Kentuckian before Jackson's admin
istration, but it is now the solid basis of the
cotton cultivation in the South, and free trade
in Europe, upon which his prosperity reposes
Let him cultivate the cotton grower, and cher
ish free trade abroad, and never again fall in
to the illusions of high tariff and National
Bank, and never again will he see his crops
rotting on his hands, his property sinking to
no price, his currency depreciated one half,
and piles of property laws, tender laws, re
lief laws, and stay laws, interposed between
the hapless debtor and the merciless creditor.
So much for Kentuckv; and equal with hers.
and resting, in good part upon the same basis,
is the prosperity of Massachusetts. The cot
ton grower of the South takes a part of all that
she has to spare. 1' rotn "brushes, brooms,
and baskets, and buttons of all kinds," up to
her eighteen millions of dollars worth of
manufactures in shoes, boots, aud leather
her seventeen millions of manufactures of
cotton; ten millions of manufactures of wool;
her nine millions and a half of fish oil; her two
millions of ready made clothing, stocks and
suspenders; her two millions and a half of
nails, brads, and tacks; her million and a half
of soap and candles her million and a half
of paper her million and a quarter of roiu
her million of refined sugar; her two millions
of straw bonnets and palm leaf hats; and many
other articles "too tedious to euumerate," but
amounting in conjuction with those enu
merared, to eighty six millions of dollars per
annum; from all these sends a part to the cot
ton grower, and doubtless gets a better part of
the crop than the grower himself receives; an
advantage which is the fair and legitimate
fruit of industry, conducted by skill, guarded
by economy, and diversified by enterprise.
It was in the last year of President Jackson's
administration; the year endiug the 31st day
of March. 1837 which presented this mag
nificent result of Massachusetts manufacturing
industry; I say manufacturing for the pro
ceeds of her commerce and agriculture are
not included and this grand result will for
ever stand as a proof of the prosperity of the
country under the sagacious policy of that il
lustrious statesman.
Sir, it was no part of my intention to make
an eulogy upon Gen. Jackson. The time is
comiug when history, and poetry, and sculp
ture, and painti lg, and the living voices of
endless generations will do him that service.
I make no general eulogy. I have spoke.n to
a single point, to show from one example, the
beneficent nature of his policy, and the uni
versality of its h ippy influence upon all the
pursuits of industry. I have spokeu to a sin
gle point, and have not exhausted that one, for
to this same catton region we are indebted for
the hundred millions of gold and silver which
has sustained the country nd the Govern
ment in the late f hock, and which- hereafter
are to render the people independent of the
rise and tall ot banks, and safe from the
shocks and explosions of the paper system.
Wrhat I have said has been forced out of me
by attacks, as wanton as they are incessant,
upon the hero-patriot who is entitled to repose,
now that he has withdrawn from the world and
given an example of the manner in which an
ex-president of the United States should spend
the evening of his days, and close up the ca
reer of his life.
POLITICS OF THE DAY.
The Independent Monitor says "The
Flag of the Union, and other democratic pa
pers, are making desperate efforts to sustain
the sinking reputation of Martin Van Bu
ren." The sinking reputation! of Mr. Van Buren.
We like that exceedingly. The sinking
reputation of a man who has beaten Henry
Clay, the greatest political gamester the country
ever saw who has foiled and beaten this
great Whig idol in every political game he
has ever tried with him! Mr. Clay is "done
up" politician, notwithstanding the "vastness
of the admiration" which the Monitor enter
tains for him. He has been losing ground
for ten years. He has drawn upon his great
native powers until the treasure is bankrupt,
and better would it have been for his fame as
a statesman had he left the political arena ten
3'ears ago. Every day he is living down his
reputation. Fame is never stationary. It
either advances or retrogrades. Mr. Clay
has tested his popularity and his principles
twice in the zenith of his power and the hey
day of his glory. It is vain for his friends to
retrieve by puffery the declining fortunes of a
giant intellect which has "had its day" and is
now falling into the "sere and yellow leaf ot
an autumnal reputation. mr. v an iiuren s
fame dates from his first essay in the admistra
tion of the affairs of a great nation. Until
then his character, his hrmness and powers
were never appreciated. He has lived down
the silly accusations of fiuesse, diplomacy,
and fox-hke non-commitalism. He has ene
mies of their most pointed slanders, and is
this day more exalted in the confidence and
the affectious of his countrymen than his best
friends ever flattered themselves that he could
attain, under the studied and unparalleled
ftvrt r hi enemies to depreciate his talents
and misrepresent his character. "Truth is
great" and has, in his case, "mightily pre
vailed." .Mobile Keztsler.

From the combined force of Whigs and
Conservatives, as set down above, to test the
real strength of parties, 'the impracticable
whigs' should be subtracted. Of these un
manageable gentlemen, who sternly opposed
Mr. Rives, and would not be ruled into a vote
for him, we are not apprised of any that have
been rejected by their constituents for a man
ageable Whig or Conservative. On the con

have been returned in place of tho compromisers-.

(The Globe ought to have made ft t least IS
elect for Virginia instead of 12.)
Iu a vvord, every sign is .bright around us.
The ship will be righted in Virginia, in De
cember next. She will never cast her Presi
dential vote upon a Whig Latitudinous Con
structionist. The great body df the Conser
vatives of Virginia will never support the
Whig candidate in preference . io Mr. Van
Biireu. - A short time to cool their feelings,
and to clear away their prejudices, and they
will reunite with their Republican brethren.
No State in the South or. South-west, except
Kentucky, will go (ot Henry CJayOhlo
and Pennsylvania will never go for him.
Martin Van Buren will be re-elected Presi
dent of the United States in 1840 and the
true State Rights principles of the Constitu
tion, which Virginia has done so much to es
tablish, will become the favorite canons of the
Americau Union. Heads upt Jilt trill b
right.
