Mr. S. M. Hewlett.
On Wednesday last our citizens had the
pleasure of listening to one of those inimita
ble addi esses on thesubjeci of Temperance
for which this gentleman has such fame.
He had a large audience, as he always will
have at this place, and to our liking made
one of the best efforts that we have ever
heard from _him, and which was fully
appreciated by his auditors. He is cer
tainly one of the best Temperance Lectu
rers that we have ever heard, his arguments
which are clear and forcible, are put forth
with a style of declamation well adapted to
the advancement of his cause, and he has
an infinite amount of wit & humor which he
levels against Rum-topers and Rum-sellers
with capital effect. Hewlett is a “hul team”
certain, and we hope to see him through
this beat again.

Suicide.—A friend writes us, (says the
Savannah Georgian,) from Scriven county,
that on Saturlay morning, about 6 o’clock,
Di. Robert H. Saxon, of the same county,
committed suicide by shooting himslf
through the head with a pistol. For some
time previous the Doctor had exhibited
symptoms of mental aberration. To this
alone can his self-destruction be. attributed.
He was well and favorably known as a phy-
Tlie Democratic Nomination.
The nomination of Gen. Pierce, has
somewhat surprised the party hereabouts,
but has, nevertheless, given satisfaction.—
He is looked upon as a sound and substan
tial Democrat, but not possessing the bril
liancy or parts of many of his compeers
who stood the better chance for the nomin
ation before the convention assembled.
Gen. Pierce stands high in the estima
tion of the people of his State, New Hamp
shire, whom he has represented in both
Houses of Congress, and has been Govern
or of that State.
The records, so far as they have been
brought out, show him always to have been
a conservative man, entirely opposed to the
Abolition and Free-Soil influences of his
section, and he was broughtout and support
ed by the Southern States. Upon the first in
formation of the nomination, the Whigs
were prompted to ask who was Gen. Pieice?
but remembering that a similar question
was propounded in 1844, and the embar
rassing results of that investigation, they
have concluded to let the General and his
friends put their wits to work and find out
who he is.
The nomination of Col. Wm. R. King,
of Alabama, for the Vice Presidency, has,
as far as we can learn, given general satis
faction. His name has been frequently
mentioned in connection with that office,
and his friends are pleased with the res ult,
The platform will be seen in this day’s
paper. The “finality” is emphatically endo;
sed, and the fugitive Slave Law recognized
as a constitutional and binding obligation
upon the non-slave holding States.
The convention have gone far beyond
what we expected, and have put their can
didates in a good position to obtain the sup
port of the South.
It remains to be seen whether the Whig
convention will follow their example, if not,
the South will be bound by interest and by
pledges, to abide by the Democratic nomic
tions.
Congress.—The National Intelligencer
of the 8th inst., says both Houses of Con
gress resumed yesterday the discharge of
their legislative duties, and beth held real
business sittings.
In the House of Representatives, besides
the dispatch of much other business of
which due account will be given under the
proper head, a Resolution was passed fixing
upon the 16th day of August for the ter
mination of the present session. This will
doubtless be most welcome news to the
families of those members who have left
their wives and children at home, and we
dare say, not unacceptable to their consti
tuents. The Resolution requiring concur
rent action by the Senate, is of course, not
conclusive. It is, however, satisfactory as
an offer on the part of the House of Repre
sentatives, to which the Senate will doubt
less respond, should the progress in the
public business in the intervening time jus
tify its doing so.
SST The Senate laid this Resolution on
the table.
The Democratic Platform.—A Balti
more letter in the New York Herald says :
“The platform engages much attention.
It is thought that it is a perfect coup de
main, and will force the whig party to the
wall. It is understood to be from the pen
of Mr. Hallett, of Massachusetts. Soule,
of Louisiana, objected to it, but finally gave
it his acquiescence, and it, as you are aware,
met with the unanimous support of the en
tire convention. The great effect this will
have upon the politicians in Congress, can
not be estimated too highly—for the future
we will have no more agitation. The mem
bers of the convention, who claim to have
come fresh from the people, are in perfect
rhapsodies.

A Lordly Democrat.—Among the dis
tinguished persons to whom the courtesy of
a seat upon the platform was extended by
the the Democratic National Convention,
was Lord W’harncliff, a nobleman of En
gland, who is making, with his family, a
tour of observation through this country,
noting the workings of our admirable and
bappy democratic institutions. He thus
had the fortunate opportunity of gaining an
nsight into one of the most peculiar and
important popular characteristics of our po
litical machinery. His Lordship is said to
be very plain and unpretending in his per
sonal appearance, looking quite as demo
cratic as any of the delegates themselves,
He was accompanied in the sittings by the
Hon. Reverdy Johnson, of Baltimore.
Washington National Monument.—
The Plaquemines (La.) Southern Sentinel
says that the first money collected by hav
ing a “Washington Monument box” at the
polls, with the simple though heart-stirring
ppeal beneath, “One dime to the memo
ry of Washington,” was at the municipal
election in that place, where nineteen dol
lars were thus collected, although there
were but eighty-two votes polled. Many
who had no right to vote in that election
declared their right to deposit their dimes.
83T The New St. Charles’ Hotel of New
Orleans is advancing rapidly towards com
pletion. It has already heen leased for sev
en years by Messrs. Hall & Hildreth. It
is expected that it will be finished and put
in the possession of the lessees on or before
the first of December next.

We learn from the N. 0. Delta
that the Empire City, arrived at New Y„
from New-Orleans on 4th inst., had on
board one hundred barrels of eggs, which
the Delta says is a curious fact in the histo
ry of the trade of New Orleans. Cincin
nati eggs travelling to New-Orleans, fif
teen hundred miles, over the Gulf of Mexi
co and up the Atlantic, fifteen hundred
more, to New York, thence to be shipped
three thousand miles further to Europe,
constitutes one of the wonders of modern
commerce. Such a voyage was hardly
contemplated by the respectable hens of
Ohio, when they cackled so proudly over
their productions in that line.
Adhesion of Gen. Cass and others to

after Gen. Pierce’s nomination was announ

from Gen. Cass and others ;
From Stephen A. Douglass.—“I con
gratulate the Democratic party upon the
nomination, Illinois will give Franklin
Pierce a larger majority than any other
State in the Union.”
From Gen. Cass.—“A good nomination,
that of Pierce: I shall support it heartily.”
From Gen. Houston.-—“An excellent
nomination; it will unite the whole De
mocracy.”
From Democrats of Washington.—‘Nine
cheers for Franklin Pierce.

Senator of New York was once a school

The Whig Presidential Ticket.—The
New York Mirror, which considers the
Democratic ticket “a strong one, and one
hard to beat,” ventures the opinion that th©
strongest possible ticket the whigs can now
bring into the field will be the names of
“Webster and Crittenden.” It is of opin
that such a ticket would unite the Scott and
Fillmore men.

^CORRESPONDENCEOF CENTRAL GEORGIAN.
New York, June 4, 1852.
Mr. Editor :—The weather has been re
markably fine for several days. Yesterday,
however, was insufferably warm until the
afternoon, when we had quite a squall of
Railroad Accident.—The down train
on the Stale Road was thrown from the
track on Monday evening the 7th inst, and
Mr. M. N. T. Crawford, who was standing
upon the engine at the time of the accident,
was thrown from the Engine and so serious
ly injured that an amputation of one of his
legs became necessary. His injuries, how
ever, were of so serious a nature, that this
proved unavailing, and he died about nine
o’clock same night.
B3T A correspondent of the Baltimore
Patriot, has brought forward the Hon.
James A. Pearce, of Maryland, as a candi
date, subject to the decision of the Nation
al Convention, which assembles in Balti
more on to-morrow. Pearces are in demand,
guess the people are begining to find out
who they are.

A Washington letter writer of some
days back says that active prepartions are
being made for the National Whig Con
vention. It is supposed by the friends of
Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster, that they
have a majority in th6 Convention. And
it is supposed to be possible .that a compro
mise may be made by which Mr. Webster
will be taken up or a new candidate taken
in.
A correspondent of the Charlestof
Courier says that Gen. Pierce is
fifty-five years of ago.
was then quite young, but exhibited much
nntive genius. Ilis stay in Georgia was
short, and he returned to New York, his
own State, and has there arisen to be one
of the great men of the country—although
the cause of his notoriety is not at all com
mendable. It is very remarkable that a
shrewd man should take up such false no
tions, unless it be attributable to his over
weening anxiety to be on the strong side.
Washington Ratification Meeting.—
A large and enthusiastic Democratic Mass
Meeting was held at Washington City on
Wednesday night last, which was addressed
by Messrs. Cass, Houston, Douglass and
Ritchie, in favor of the Baltimore nomina
tions.
Central Railroad Stock.—We learn
that the two thousand three hundred and
thirty shares of stock advertised by the
Central Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia, brought a premium of $2,870 61,
being an average of 23-100 per cent. Of
fers were made for the new stock to the ex
tent of $81,200 more than the amount ad
vertised. This fact speaks well for the pub
lic confidence in this highly prosperous and
ably manged institution.—Sav- News.
not over ■ condition.
A3T The Texas papers say that there
never was a better prospect of a large cane
crop on the Brazos. The cotton, although
retarded by the recent cold weather, has
generally recovered, and the crop bids fair
to be a large one. The corn has suffered
some from the drought, but is in a forward
Health of Mr. Clay.—A Washington
letter says that Mr. Clay is daily sinking.-—

wind and a heavy shower, which somewhat
cooled the atmosphere. Now, as I write,
the lain is falling in torrents, and a blessing
it ought to be considered, too ; for if the
Democratic Convention at Baltimore were
to sit much longer without nominating a
candidate, some of the office-seekers in this
city would die of excitement, were there no
means at hand of cooling them off. I met
several Cass men quite drunk, last night.
When the results of the first, second and
third reached here, they (the friends of
Gen. Cass,) were quite elated. They “took
a little something” after the news of the first
ballot, a “little more” after that of the sec
ond ballot, and a “little more” after that of
the third; and, as “every little makes a
muckle,” as the Scotch proverb Las it, a
great many of them were completely “sew
ed up” by the time the news of the 4th bal
lot reached us, when, horribile dictu, Cass
had lost four votes. Then, a glass had to
be taken to keep up their drooping spirits ;
and as each succeeding report arrived of the
falling off of his votes, another and another
round were ordered, until late at night,
when after a dreadful suspense occasioned
by a derangement of the wires, the fatal
news arrived that Cass had gone down to
99.
This announcement produced the most
intense excitement. The Cassites fairly
yelled with fury, and swore there was treach
ery in their camp. Cass received, you know,
on the first ballot, 116 votes, and on the
hird, 119, so that the gradual fall to 99
howed, pretty conclusively, that he had
been let down easily by a preconcerted ar
angement. Buchanan’s gradual but steady
decline did not create much excitement
among his friends, as it was not thought
possible, after the adoption of the two thirds
rule, that he could get the nomination.
The Douglass men looked very grum, on
r;l h jU s u ee r n r 0n board the Crescent
City, one of the U. S. Mail steamship Co’s '
vessels, with five friends who go to Aspin-
wall in her, to-morrow, enroute for San
rancisco. Two of them have already been
to California, and they say that Aspinwall
is destined to become a place of considera

A I ortuguese was rently hung at Roches
ter, for the murder of one of his country-
men It is a remarkable fact, that most of
the horrible deeds committed in this coun
try are done by persons who are ignorant
of our language, and, consequently, in ai
great measure, of our laws. Many of these
persons appear to be impressed with the
belief that, as this is a land of liberty, they
are free to do whatsoever suits their indio-
ation, without there being any law to inter
fere with them. We seldom or never hear
of the perpetration of a high crime by a B
enlightened foreigner; but there is no de
nying that the lower classes of Europeans,
especially those who do not speak our lan-
guage, are the perpetrators of a majority
of the deeds of blood we are called upon to
record. Yours Truly, PULASKI.
flesolulloiis ©f the Democratic
National Convention.
The following resolutions, embracW the
! dat ! br “.° r i 844 '! 8 - a»a
the Compromise, Ac., were adopted by the
late Democratic National Convention *
at
Democratic
Baltimore, with hardly a dissenting voice,
and without debate:
Resolved, That tbe American democra
cy place their trust in the intelligence, the
patriotism, and the discriminating justice of
the American people. *
Resolved, That we regard this as a dis
tinctive feature of our political creed, which
we are proud to maintain before the world
as the great moral element in a form of gov
ernment, springing from and upheld by the
popular will; and we contrast it with the
creed and practice of federalism, under
whatever name or form, which seeks to pal
sy the will of the constituent, and which
conceives no imposture too monstrous for
the popular credulity.
Resolved therefore, That, entertaining
these views, the democratic party of this
Union, through their delegates assembled
in a general convention of the Stales, com
ing together in a spirit of concord, of devo
tion to the doctrines and faith of afreereo-
resentative government, and appealing to
their fellow-citizens for the rectitude of their
intentions, renew and re-assert, before the
American people, the declaration of princi-
p ea avowed by them, when, on former oc
casions, in general convention, they presen
ted their candidates for the popular suffra
ges. r
1. That the federal government is one
of limited powers, derived solely from the
constitution; and the grants of power made
therein ought to be strictly construed by
all the departments and agents of the gov
ernment; and that it is inexpedient and
dangerous to exercise doubtful constitution
al powers.
2 That the constitution does not confer
upon the general government the power to
commence and carry on a general system of
internal improvements.

The news of this brought out his friends
once more from their hiding places, and
when, on the fifth ballot, he ran up to 34
which he kept up to the eighth inclusive!
the joy of Young America’ 4 was uncontrol-
able. But, when the telegraph announced,
as the result of the ninth ballot, that the

start from 34 up to 50, the scene that fol
lowed beggars all description. The heart
of “Young America” was overflowing with
violence or foreign oppression.
5. That it is the duty of every branch of
the government to .enforce and practice the
most rigid economy in conducting our pub->

be raised than is-required to defray the nec

the gradual but certain extinction of the
public debt.
