II Some days since, we published the Circular of this “place man, ” when wc promised our readers to take farther notice of its contents, a duty -ve now proceed to in as brief a manner as possible: Jl is a remarkable fact, that the party wlifh which Mr. Forsyth is now acting, assume to themselves to be the only true exponents of the principles of Jefferson and Madison! How far Mr J Forsyth has carried them out it is easy to deterrni.le, when the fact is known that one of the positive injunc tions given by those men to federal office holdcis, was not to interfere in local or State elections. Mr. Forsyth was invited (« a dinner, by a j ommit (ce, and instead of the usual manner of R esponse to tlio Committee on such occasions, ho» availed himself of the occasion to address a leitdr to the people of Georgia, to invoice their support! to save him his place. Perhaps, however, his fmjnds may fxcuiip him, by us filing that il is an cxljioiiliiia -1- occasion, and he.ice a resort to extr:£)rdiuary means was necessary. This is no doubt ’rue, and l nvci conflmirtly, wbit we said of tbefseeieta ry’s having been urgently entreated to Lvc the sinking fortunes of the party in Georgia. I For one thus engaged in proping the desperate foicunes of the Administration of Mr. Van Burcn, vith the I noble (/) object of securing Lis own plac* with a snug salary, he seems to have placed u very just estimate upon the force and power of his Uslirnouy before the American people. He is an “ interested vainest*’!! f W hen it was announced that a Circular-had been received from Mr. Forsyth, all were anxious to sec this extraordinary document, coming from a Secretary, who in the language of Mr. Grundy, “ was pleading for his bread." All cxpeckd to sec an able and well wiitten defence of the [measures of an administration, in which he had occupied so prominent a station. That administratiotj had been charged by the people from one end 01 l?;e Union to th other, with squanderrug their moiLy in Hie most prodigal rnannei, for the purpose corrupt ing the fountain of power through the .'means 01 Executive patrenago —they had been obliged with the destruction of the Cunency, for th} avowed object of rearing upon its rums a grcsC Govern hunt Bank which would sooner or later sap the liberties of the people—they had been charged wit! endeavoring and seeking to rule the ij stines 01 this country, by the overpowering infljience of ; Standing Army of Two Hi ndkfd TuoussNDincn wilh ejecting Irom the Halls of Congress the regu l.irly eh < ted and commissioned Representatives 0 the sovereign State of New Jersey, and, receivin' in their stead, those who were obnox.ii.u3 to th. people, mid as they believed, holding principles a variance with their interests and liber* i s. These are R few only of the charges | lach hav been made against this Administrate) by thos. from whom they derived power, the f eople ; an it was natural enough to suppose, wins the Secrc tary quit the cares and duties of his ollfre, to entc . the arena of politics, that he would dH'cnd them, against these charges which have op|iated up< n i f t ’ em like a tremendous lever. What, then, must have been their astonishment, when they observed that the Secretary had touched none of these mo mentous questions. What their indignation, when they beheld him cunningly avoiding those topics, and endeavoring by invidious comparisons and sly thrusts, which none know better how to use than the Secretary, to misrepinsent the opinions of Gyn. Harrison, whose head has grown grey witli forty years devotion to Hie service of the American peo ple. Does the Secretary suppose that the people of Gcoigia are so easily gulled 1 hat, interested as he admits 1 imself to be, they will believe, at this late day, (when all the calumnies of their prosti tuted organs in Georgia have been poured foilh upon the brad of this old patriot,) the oft repeated calumny that General Harrison has adopted his opinions to suit every section of the Union so which they arc directed, and believe it to too, sim ply because the “ place-man," this Secretary, who is trying to secuie is oilier, is put upon the witness stand? If so, lie is quite mistaken in the people to whom lie lias addressed his ciicuhr. That po litical stock jobber, Waller T. Colquitt, made a similar charge and hoped to make a similar im pression, because it might “enwe to his benefit" but lo! the juggler could not adduce the testimony save bis own assertion, and a lesson has been taught him, by which Mr. Forsyth should have profited. Where, we ask, aie those chamelion-likc and varied opinions, suited to each different section of tire Union ? Did Mr. Secretary Forsyth produce any evidence of them r No ; he could oiler nothing but the assertion of an “ interested witness," and that is all he ever will be able to present to the people. We have searched in vain for evidence, but none lias been produced. Thus it is that Air. Forsyth avoids any defence of Hie Administration for its many sins, such a task would have been 100 arduous, and we do not wonder at bis abandonment of so laborious a work. He concludes bis long list of insinuation and assertion in an allusion 10 the supporters of Gen. Harrison in Georgia, and remarks, “a man is to be known by the company he keeps.” This is an old adage, and it is a re markable fact, that few’ can indulge in its use. Let us try Mr. Forsyth hy this lest. In the front rank of his associates stand F. P. Blair, Amos Kendall, John M. Niles, Levi Woodbury, Garrett D. James Buchanan, Dr. Duncan, Benjamin Tap pan, only two of the nine survivors of the Vir ginia Legislature who voted for Mr. Madison’s resolutions of ’9b and ’99, and the only two survi vors who voted against those resolutions are com patriots of Mr. Forsyth, and urging Virginia as he is Georgia, to support Mr. Van burenr And yet the Hon. Secretary has the effrontery to remark that wc- are known by our companions. But says the Secretary,“ 'File only Chief Magis trate to whom the Southern Stales can safely trust themselves, is one who will use the influence of bis place wisely to lead Congressional legisla tion on the subjects that must arise for discussion with the coming Presidential term, the appointment of representation, the system of revenue, the art mission of new States into the Union ; and one who will use his power fearlessly and fully to control all attempts at legislation on that subset which is exclusively Southern. Without therefore, bestowing any notice upon the two first questions “ the appointment of repre sentation, and the system of revenue” on both of which Gen. Harrison is more sound than Mr. Van Burcn,for he has never attempted to give negroes the right of suffrage, pass at once to the ad mission of New States into the Union,” upon which latter we will bestow only a passing remark, and let the people of Georgia determine which is the man lit to be elected Mr. Van Burcn or Gen. Harrison. Mr. Van Burcn was opjiosed to the ad mission of Missouri with slavery, tiro. Harrison voted lor it, and declared to his constituents that he would have resigned his seal before he would have surrendered his principles—Florida will pro bably apply for admission into the Union within the next four years, and Mr. Van Huron has already recorded bis vote to restrict the introduction of sla very into that territory. And yet with these no torious facts staling Mr. Forsyth in the face, the people of Georgia arc told hy him that Mr. Van Hu ron is more desirable on this question. After such an exhibition of the desperate resort to which the Secretary was driven, it was not as tonishing to us that he would attempt to draw oil’ the attention of the people from the true questions at issue before the country to the subject of Abo lition, and Abolition Conventions in Europe, Has the Secretary become so desperate iu bis support of Mr Van Bure* and his efforts to secure his own office, that be would jeopaid the peace of this coun try and Great Britain, already ha/arded upon a very delicate and momentous question of bounda ry, by arraigning Hie internal policy of that nation,' and endeavoring to make political capital thereof to prop his own fortunes? Really it would seem so, or why this insult to the authorities of that great na tion, and that too from the thief officer of the Cab inet of this country, with whom all questions of foreign policy are alone to be negotiated. Has the Secretary seen any efforts on the part of the mia isters of Kngland lo interfere with our peculiar in stitutions at the South ? None wc venture to say, and yet he would endcavoi to torture the meeting of a few fanatics into a design on the part of the government into interference with those institu tions. People of Georgia you cannot mistake the objects of this party, they will not stop at anj means to secure power, and this effort on the part of the Stale, must satisfy every un prejudiced mind that lie would eve n sacrifi.se the peace and quiet of the country for office. Os a piece witli this is the assertion on his part that no Southern Slate voted in the Convention for General Harrison, and his publication of a pretend ed vote of that Convention, which he has sent forth to the world witli his endorsement, vouching for its truth. Can it be possible that the Secretary of State is so much imder the influence of Kendall and Blair as to make such assertion as this J Does he know that there was but a single vote taken in the Convention cn the nomination for President, and that was a unanimous one for Gen. Harrison. If he docs not know this, he is not oily wofully ignorant of the history of his own times, but he should seek information from some other source than his prostituted organ, the Globe. But above all, his effort to make the people of this country, and particularly the South look with distrust upon the unoffending Catholics, surpasses any thing wc have yet seen or heard. And this is done by dragging into the political contest an apostolic letter of the Pope, addressed to some of the Spanish American authorities, disapproving of slajvery. This we regard as a direct insult to the proses ors of that ancient religion ; they are among the earliest emigrants to this country, and through all our trials in our early struggles for liberty, none wore more devoted to our cause than they. And yet this "place-man," this office-seeking Secretary would tnus excite the prejudices of their adopted countrymen, would thus defame the memory op that revered patriot and devoted friend of liberty, Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Descended as we are, from an ancestor whose life was devoted with religious fidelity to the tenets of tha t holy religion, we feel indignant at this effort to diag the Pope into, and make him a party to the political contests of this countiy, and to excite distrust and r-u pi cions of Southern men against their order. And we trust that the Catholics will frown indignantly upon such an effort. From the N. Y. Commercial Adv. of Sept. 19. Maine Election. The good news of yesterday is fully confirmed to-day. The Boston Mercantile Journal of yester day afternoon says, that returns were received by the steamboat from 325 towns, sufficient to make it pretty certain that Kdvvird Kent has been elect ed a uovenor, by a majority of between 500 and 1000. We copy from the Boston AtUs the following particulars; We have received returns of the vote for Gov ernor in 291 towns. They stand thus; Tor Kdwaid Kent, 40,905 John Fairfield, OS M 3 Kent’s majority, 2,092 In 1898, the same towns stood thus : Kent, 38,880 Fairfield, 10,498 ' 1,552 Net Whig gain, 3,014 There are 79 towns and plantations to be he-ud from, which will gi\e Fairfield about 600 majority. So that Edward Kent is elected Governor of Maine by over OVER ONE THOUSAND MAJORITY, AN NO MISTAKE. Correspondence of the Alias. Aangor, September 15. The returns from our Congressional Dis*rict arc all in, and the Hon. Elisha 11. Allen is certainly elected. The Eastern stage driver brings intelligence that the gain in favor of Noyes for Congress is 570, as far as heard from, and a letter to the postmaster of this city states that Noyes is probably elected. 1 think there cannot he any doubt of ibis. The rev olution is onward, and Maine, injured and abused, is redeemed. Nobly have the independent free men of our stale answered the call made upon them by the Democracy of the Union. The star ol the East is in the ascendant, and the electoral vote «f Maine is certainly for Harrison and Tyler. So that the result is, (hat nvi: Whigs and but two Uocofueos are returned to Congress in Oxford, no choice. The present Congress contains but two Whigs. The Senate contains 17 Whigs and but 8 Loco focos ; last year 8 Whigs, 17 Locofoces. The Whigs will have a large majority in the House of Representatives. A \\ hig U S. Senator is therefore certain. Augusta, Wednesday noon, iGth. I cannot describe to you the joy that animates every bosom at the glorious result in Maine. We have the Senate and the House without doubt, and the Locos concede to us the Governor. Maine is good for 8000 for Harrison. They rush to our ranks so fast now, that we begin to think of pul ling up the bars. GLORIOUS ! GLORIOUS !! GLORIOUS !!! One Fire Moke!—A little later —1 o’clock — Old Somerset has returned a Whig Representative from every town in the county hut one. Our streets are filled wiln a happy people—shouts and congratulations arc heard from thousands that Maine is free. We took the stump previous to the elections, and you sec the result. The Whigs only want their principles extensively promulga ted to be generally embraced. Later Imm Europe.

Louis Bonaparte, the father of the young Prince Napoleon, has written the following let ter to the editor of the Paris Commerce : “Florence, Aug. 24th. “.Sir—l pray you to receive the following de claration : I know that publicity is a strange, and perhaps singular, method to have recourse to but when a father who is old, afflicted by disease expatriated by law, has no other means of assis ting an unfortunate son, eveiy one who can ap preeiale a father’s feelings must approve it. | m,* convinced that rny son, the only one left to m*, has been the victim of an infamous intrigue, an • that la; was seduced by false friends, vile ffatte, ers, and perhaps hy insidious advice, and there fore to remain silent would he to he wanting L: duly, and to expose myself to bitter regrets. “ 1 declare, thee, that my son has fallen tin third time into a frightful snare, since it is impo> fihlc that any man of common sense should hav. deliberately thrown himself into such a precipice If he he guilty, the truly guilty are those whose duccd and led him astray.

For the Chronicle <s• Sentinel. “General Harrison is the candidate of all the parties in Hie United Stales, who can he brought to act against the present Administration by the com mon interest of hatred.” John Forsyth. Messrs. Editors—Surely Mr. Forsyth penned this paragraph under the influence of We hear of 75,000 at Bunker Hill teu days since— some two or three months ago, of fifteen acres of men in the West —with the late great meetings of thousands and tens of thousands at Nashville, Ma con, and in all p its of these great, free States — all of which seem to speak as the voice of one man. Our hatred is by “ cornmdn instinct ” —and this instinct will burst with Volcanic fury, about the first of November, and will hurl from this reign of misrule, the “ path finder” of his “ illustrious ptedecessor.” “ So mote it he,” said my old friend Uncle Hcn ry. “ I never did like our President, Simon—lie has jumped about so much, I can’t keep up with him. I once had an Overseer, who was raised in the dark corner of Lincoln county. I sent him out one cold morning, to gather up a lot of sows and pigs, to mark and count them. After bothering and bustleing about some time —said I to him, how many have you got ? Confound them said he, I can count them all well enough, hut one tittle striped rascal, and he keeps jumping about so much, for my life I can’t count him.” “ I should like him much better Uncle Henry,” said I, “if ho kept better company.” But such men as Amos Kendall, Francis P, Blair, Dr. Duncan, and others, are enough to ruin any man—for in taking him, we must lake all this bit of trash along with him. We once had a tanner lived in our neighborhood, who sold sole leather, which he bap tized regularly to make it keep its proper weight. Whenever he sold it, he tied several half tanned, trashy (what he called harne sliings) strips of leather around the roll, which ho would generally throw in. The rascal then weighed all together, at 37. j cents per pound. And what was worse than all, he went and bragged about his cuteness. Mr. Forsyth says the Harrison people have not <om plaincd of Mr. Van Buren’s “ system of foreign policy.” The fact is this, we have had so much to eo iiplain of, in our home policy, that we nave not had time to trouble ourselves with his ambassador t» Cuba, to negotiate and purchase blocd-hounds, and oilier important foreign affairs, which hereaf ter may not be the worse for a Scraping. Bi iike County. Sept. 19, 1840; Messrs. Editors —Much has been said in the Western States, and in the Middle part of Georgia, about the Caterpillar, in the Colton. But in this county, lying between Buck head and Ogceehec, we have the cateipillar, the green, the black. Hie brown, and the streaked worm, ail of which arc making sad ravages upon our Cotton.

Notes of the “( oncer sat ion" on Monday. In relation to the New Jersey case, Mr. Bolts said— I did not come here, fellow-citizens, for the pur pose of arraigning the conduct of your Represen tative on this or any other question, but it is my duty to state what transpired on that occasion— and after giving a history of the controversy from the commencement, licsai-—Due hu.idled and two members of the Administration party, of which number Mr. Jones was one, have, under the solemn obligation of an oath, and upon the responsibility ol their Representative characters, declared in the face of heaven and the world, that the five Ad ministration claimants had received a majority of the legal votes of the State of New Jersey, and were entitled to their seats. As a member of the Committee of Elections, I gave that case the most thorough and laborious investigation, net only for s and nights, hut for weeks and months, and 1 am prepared to testify upon oath, if necessary, that 1 believe the testi-. many exhibited in the case, (a portion of which was rejected ny a majority of the committee on the most frivolous and technical grounds, and on grounds that «ould not have been sustained before any impartial tribunal,) that the live Whig mem bers had received a majority of legal votes, and were entitled lo their seats. And now I desire to know of the lion, gentle man before me, whether, when he made that de cision, he had ever seen the first word of the testi mony eonl ined in this volume, upon which alone the merits of that controversy as far as regarded the legal votes, could be decided. [Here Mr. Bolts exhibited the volume of testimony in the New Jersey case.] Mr. Janes not answering—Mr. Bolts said, he desired the gentleman to answer in the presence of his constituents, aye or no, had lie ever read or heard the teslmony in the ease. Mr. Jones replied—No, he haa not! Mr. Bolts—There is another question 1 wish to put to tlie Hon. gentleman. Did not only re lusc to examine the testimony yourself, but did you not refuse time to other jcntlcincn who dr manded it as a right, and relused to vote unless that right was granted to them ? Air. Jones —1 do not i«< ollect. Mr. Bolts—ls you do not recollect, sir, it is the mist remarkable instance of treachery of memory that has ever come under my observation; for of all the remarkable scenes that I have ever witness ed in legislation, that was the most remarkable, and one that I had supposed never could be for gotten by any that witnessed it. But fortunately, 1 have come here armed to the teeth with documentary pioof, ready to establish every assertion I mak(—and here is the proof that you did give that vote. [Here, Mr. Bolts commenced reading the report of the proceedings of the House ] Mr. Jones—l recollect now, sir—l believe 1 did give that vole. Mr. Bolts—l believe so, too, sir ! Now, fellow-citizens, what more can I say on this subject. Mr. Jones has, in one word acknow ledged as much as 1 could prove in a twelvemonth. He has acknowledged that he decided this great controversy, in which the sovereignty of a State and its representatives in Congress wore concerned, in perfect ignorance and blindness of the whole’ merits of the cause. Let us suppose a controversy to have arisen be tween two neighbors in the county of Chesterfield upon a long unsettled account: each claims of the other, a considerable balance—they each sided another neighbor, as referees; and in the event of their not being able to agree, the selected umpire is to decide the controversy—The referees disagree —A repo its 810 be entitled to a balance—C re ports I) to be entitled to a laige balance—lays the vouchers before the umpire, and demands that they shall be examined, and assures him, if he wi’l amine them fairly, he must sustain the judgment he has rendered. The umpire refuses to look at a single paper, but turns upon his Reel, ai d says 1 have more confidence in the judgement, or in the politic*, of A than 1 have in you, Mr. C; and my decision is, that D shall pay to B precisely what A has declared him entit'ed to. This is a case pre cisely analogous to the New Jersey case. 'lhe claimants in that case were the disputants here— the committee of elections the referees—they were divided five lo four—the House was the umpire— the four demande d an examination of the tsstimo ny ; and the Administration party said, substan tially, damn your testimony, we have more conii ucnce in these live members, than in you and the ~y together; and we decide as they have It such a rase wc;e to occur in private life, I would b l ask wbat * our judgments on that umpire From the Southern Recorder , .11 .min Van Which vs. George \Vu> hington. “The system now super set Jed was in b.rt one ot those early measure* tl.wised by the friends and advocates of privileged orders for the purpose of perverting the Government from its pu e prin ciples and legitimate objects, vesting all power in the hands of a lew, and enabling them to profit at the expense of*the many.” So says Marlin Van liuren in a letter addrt ss ed to a Kentucky public gathering. The Presi dent is speaking of the system by which, previous to, tins Sub-Treasury plan, the Government carri ed on its financial concerns. The system now superseded, says Martin, was in fact one of those early nflasurei; devised by Hit friends and uHv t cutes of privileged orders, for the purpose of per verting the. government from its pure principles and legitimate objects, vesting ml power in the hands of a few , and enabling them to profit at the expense of the many. Now, gentle reader, who are the men or rather w ho is the man, upon whom our pure and virtu ous chief, Maitin Van Buien, thus discharges tho vials of his wrath 1 By whom was the measure alluded to (to wit, depositing the public moneys in the? Bank of the United States) hy whom was this done ? who is ihe man, “the friend and advo cate of privilcdgrd orders,” denounced hy our worthy Van? Who carried ibis measure, accord ing to onr patriotic President, “lor the purpose o/ perverting the government roin its pare princi pcs ?" Who carried this measure for the pur pose, uh Mr. V an Burcn declares, “of vesting all power in the hands of the lew,” that they might profit at the expense of the people ? Who is this criminal fellow-citizens? for tl the above charges of Mr. Van Burcn are true, the perpetrator must ho a great criminal, the betrayer of Ids country, and u traitor to tho rights of the people. Who is this corrupt aristocrat, so sternly denounced hy our little fattier, Foxcy, as the Indian Chiefs call ed him ? No other, fellow-citizens, than George Washington ! this is the man upon whom Marlin Van Bn en has dared to pour his wholesale charges; George Washington an! his nohl- Revolutionary compatriots; these arc the nm against whom Martin Van Burcn has dared l hurl his false and malignant accusations ! The* are the worthies who devised and who practise, the “superseded system,” and for which they fiax.i been denounced by Martin Van Burcn as th “friends of privileged orders,” as “the perverld of the pure principle* of our government,” am as those who were tor ‘ vesting till [tower in th hands of u lew, that they might profit at the ex pensc of the many.” Are yon prepared to endorse litis slander or the Father of your Country, fellow-citizens, an on the noble Revolutionary hand, his compeer who hied and suffered for the liberties you enjoy i as men have rarely ever .suffered ?

An indig j riant and grievously injured people will in a lev I weeks present to the world ibis verdict of tin I condemnation, “A President rejected by an om raged people,for ruinning his country by his mea; tires, and for trying to holster up his deslructiv system, by slandering the Father of his Country.' may it bo. lion.

But whatever might have been my priva opinion, or whatever I may have said elscwhen . in my published letter commented on by M Ritchie I did notsav.as he represents mo to bav said, that Mr. Van Burcn was a liar: I only dr« < a picture; and it seems it was not neccssrary write beneath if. “ This is a horse." 1 staled it facts of the case, and left all to draw their ow conclusion:—The editor of tin; Enquirer h drawn his, and roundly and gratuitously asset that I have called the President “ a Liar" But the object of this card is to call the atlei - lion of that Editor, as well as of the public, t some otlior descrcpatides that have appeared, t relation to this same subject, since Ihcpublicatio ot my letter, which makes “ confusion worse coi • founded. ’ On the sth June, the Secretary addressed h explanatory letter, No. I, to Mr. Ritchie, in win. he stales emphatically, that the plan was pr. sen ted to Congress upon a calf from the “ Itvttsc made directly upon tbe Secretary of War; whit call was not made by the committee of the Ilou until thr month ot March, and it was answer* on the “(Jth of the same month.

Before the Secretary concludes his letter he falls into another most egregious and unfortunate error, and contradicts the records of his own of (ice, and the assertion he hud just before made u quoted above. He says, “ on referring to the objections which have been subsequently made to my plan, they will-he found confined exclusively to ils details which were, not matured, until nearly months after the President's Message was amt in."

This paper is so generally known through the j State for its utter disregard of truth and an high- | minded and honorable conn e, that we have gen- 1 . rally permitted their slanders upon the Kepub- | Mean party, and Gen. Harrison, to pass for whit j they were wmlh, believing that the people would, j in lime, look upon them in their true light. In j I heir last paper however, wc have noticed an at tack made upon one as (Georgia's most faithful I Representatives, “ :V1 r. Dawson anii thi; Boon i cask.” From it we i x tract the following*:— The case of Jlooe hud been before Cungresi, K and an opportunity ullordcd to remedy the evil complained of. and by Legislative enactment, to place the matter beyond doubt or controversy; and nothing was wanting hut unanimity on the part of Southern members, to accomplish that inject. Wiih such unanimity, a law would have been passed, declaring that in fu- ! j lure, no negro should be a witness against awhile i man, but when a motion was made for bringing i the question fairly before Congies*, where was j Mr. Dawson? What was his position to the South ? I .rl the Journals answer. M On the. I3th June, IH4O, Mr, Chapman ofAI- Hliatna, ullcitd she following resolution: “ Resolved, That the Commitiee on the Judici ary, to which was referred the ease of Lieutenant j 1 looe, be required to report forthwith to the House, 1 who arc legal witnesses under the existing laws, . before Courts martial in the Navy of tho United i Stales; and further report who shall hereafterba ■ examined as witnesses in trials before such Courts.” “Here it will he seen, was t) movement hy which the whole question might lia>o been at on« brought up and acted upon, had such men a. Mr, n Dawson, been in its favor; but where do, wc find I him ? In his seat voting to bring it up, and read? to ad upon it ? No—He was not there, as the K yeas and nays now before us conclusively show. jM r.
