IvhiJh the- .u men’s herein presented cannot fail to pro-'

:,j e 01 so much importance to Re bnond County, and an

I vc shall perform only our duty, by placing 'be subject ns,,

good work. A joint effort can accom; bah the object we

Since the above was written, the Federal I*,.ion, of
( Thursday last crime to band, containing the Present
ments of the Cfrand Jury ot Decatur County. The sub
•on.eJ extract from the preser/ments, show s that though
I inhabitants of one of the small counties, the citizens of
i Decatur are willing to go in C .nvwt.on. Thevars sen-'
ot the defects of the constitut;-n ; and though a re
t »ion may curtail a portion of the power they now ex
n> . e in the legislative branch of the government, ye:
their patriotism, and their sense of equal justice and
: 4*ipial r.ghla and pow er, lead them to act as every repub.
I lican ought to act. We believe that the citizens of that
I county lake a just and correct view of ihc s ihjcct. If
i the C institution is amended, and a more equal represen.
| ration of the counties is established, it is not our opinion
| that the small counties will be injured. In subsequent
I papers,.we will examine tiie subject, under this point of
I view, more at 1 irge, tend wc think we will he able to
I convince the citizens of the sm ill counties, that an equal
i representation in the Senate and House of Rcpresedta-
I tives, according to representative population, cannot in
I any way be injurious to those small counties, and oxclu
i aiv< ly beneficial to the larger counties.

“ Tiie zealous manner in which our sinter couiifh-s of
I the 'ate have urged the subject ol reducing the number
* of our L' Cislature has likewise arrested our attention, i
I and notwithstanding we anti- ipate difficulty in changing
I tht Constitution tor that purpose, satisfactory to all tiie
; countu-s —it seems to us a duty to co-opcrate with them
jo miy manner that is so ostensibly tor the benefit of the |
i rc-oph ; but do not think the proposed plan ol reduction
would be equal in the administration ot equality in re-
I presentation, os it would have a tendency to lesson our'
power in the Keprese dative branch of our Legislature,;
v. inch we cannot in any w ise conceive to be jut, or re
publican, unless it secures to us the sain<- ratio of power;
j. in the Senatorial branch of our Legislature as it does
now; but hoping u spirit of compromise may prevail
i* through every section and county of the state to obviate j
| the* monopoly ol an undue proportion of power by any j
'i chanty, or number of counties, at the expense of tlio* e
I equal »n territory and prospective importance to the state

I The Anniversary of our Independence was ■
celebrated with a zest and patriotism of focling,
well suited to an occasion deservedly distinguish
ed as the brightest epoch in ’he annals of politi
cal history. A the earliest dawn of the morn
ing thiiteen guns summoned us to our orisons io
Liberty, and whilst our hearts sought an an- j
iproximution to the perfect and wise Dispenser of j
ail human affairs, we foil ourselves strengthened I
in the conviction that the destiny of our country j
is in the hands of Him who is “nighty to save,”
and as we arose w ith feelings of humble, devout i
gratitude, the risen sun, w hich now spread his
golden rays along our western horizon, seemed !
to invite the invocation that bis brilliant upward }
course, might bo typical of ’die fate ofour infant j
Republic. At eleven o’clock the military and |
citizens in procession, proceeded to the Church, |
under the command of Capt. Geo. Schley, as j
marshal of the day—where service was com- ,
monced by an eloquent and patriotic appeal to j
the throne of Grace from the Rev’d Oliver 1
Fleming —The Declaration of Independence was
read in a dignified and impressive n- nner by ;
Wm. H. Connelly, Esq. and an oration fraught |
with sentiments of patriotism, and embellished j
with images of classic beauty, was pronounced !
in an eloquent manner by R. W. Flournoy, j
Esq. The procession was re-conducted to the |
Court House, where an elegant entertainment.}
had been prepared by the committee of arrange- j
ments, and the company sat down to dinner at 3 !
■ o’clock—Col. R. L. Gamble, presiding—aided I
j bv Capt. R. E. Cunningham, as \ ice President. |
After the cloth was removed, the following i
'Toasts were drank, interspersed with humorous j
| and patriotic songs :
f l. The day we celebrate —consecrated in
; 1776, by a noble and patriotic assertion ofour
j common rights—may it be re-consecrated in
; 1832, bv a just and patriotic concession of the
Tights of the South.
2. The memory of Gen. Geo. Washington.
( 3. The Cons’itution of the United States, i
i Formed in a spirit of liberal and enlightened jus- 1
I tice, whilst it is sustained by the same spirit, it;
I will bo our ark of safety; otherwise it may he a
j prison-house of tyranny.
4. The blessings of Freedom, so dearly bought j
! with the blood of our fathers, may the gratitude of \
their children never forget how to appreciate
them.
5. The Spirit of Liberty—Like the coursings j
of a migbtv river : offer an impediment to i s ’
way. A it will rise in proud defiance, till the vain I
obstruction shall be humbled below tiie level of;
its undulations.
6. The Sovereignty c* the States —The banc- ’
of aristocracy—the shield, the glory of demo
cracy.
T. The Union—whilst it is protected by the
Egis of the Constitution, it will not need to be
guarded even from its friends.
8. G«u. And. Jackson —The magnet which
. j fi
'holds the Jisaordaat integrals ot our Union a * .
g( ther —may .his administration be coo muedtilij
the retreating billows of lis 'ord shall h ipp> ! y c
merged into a placid wave of coat' a’inent.
0. Georgia — She knows her duty, and, what is j
: better, she will do her duty.
10. The trF-u’h—She has not sought, and she
would not acccp’,exclusive benefits from the Go
vernment ; nor will she r nder unto Olliers what
i she would indignantly reject for herself.
11. The rights of conscience, freedom oi
speech, and tiie press —may they alike be re
garded as the Palladium of our Liberty.
it 12. The Congress now in session—May it be
j able to appreciate the immensity of the truth,
! that upon the result of i s deliberations depends
lithe destiny of our country.
! 13. (jiir affections—The only Tyrant to
; which we render a willing obedience.

| By Dr. P. S. Lcmle— Gentlemen : I w ill offer
i a sentiment, which (I am sure*,) will find a rc
jsponsive feeling in the bosom of everyone a-j
1 round this festive board, it is a claim of well at
tested, moral, mental and political worth, to a
just share of the people’s favor. 1 need not add
'that the opportunity thus offered us of identify- j
ing ourselves with the political destiny of one of
• our lies’ beloved citizens, and of making his weal
our weal, or if it may be, his woe our woe, is a
source of proud gratification—-I give you, gen
tlemen—
j d'he Congressional Candidate of Jefferson i
i county—The virtues of a man, the acquirements 1
ioi'a Statesman, claim for him and us the surety
, of iiis success.
After the immense applause with which this !
sentiment w as received had subsided—Col. G.ui
; kle addressed the company us follows ;
i The very friendly sentiment which has just
'Jb.jgn expressed, and the cordial manner in which -,
it has been received, imposes upon me trie ne- |
: cess.lv at least of tendering to the company, !
;my thanks for. what I feci to be an unmerited,; |
jus well as most unexpected mark of respect, I ;
am humbled in the contrast, of what I know!j
|myself to be, and that winch your too great;
; kindness and partiality have attributed to me. j
1 might more pronerly express mv feelings by
'tAv a O J .
'silence, for it has been truly said, when the■
(heart fools most, the tongue is least willing or
|able to give utterance to those leynngs. I thank |
buy friends and citizens of my native county, '•
for this kind expression of their feelings towards j
jme personally, for 1 am well aware they could i
! have had their origin in no other source. In
! relation to the appointment for which my name ;
i l •» y
}is now before the public, I will take this occa- ■
Ision to remark, that my candidacy is not of ray
[own seeking, for if I know my own feelings, I
have no selfishness or ambition to gratify, nor j
[would I have permit ed my name at this time to!i
1 have trespassed so far upon the public or my ;
I friends, as to have placed it again before them I
■for their suffrages, having by the partiality of I
i friends, for the respect of whose opinions and
[wishes, rather than to tbs gratification of any
I personal feelings, I submitted my name at the
'last Congressional canvass, for that honour,
'which the verdict of the people assigned to ano
ther. With that expression of opinion, I was
content, and was perfectly willing, for the bal
ance of my time, to have occupied the s ation of :
a private citizen, b- lieving, (for th li tie expo- ;
l ienee I have had in public matters,) that it is ‘lie !'
(most enviable condition in life ; and although j
{that course had been prescribed to myself, and 1
' which 1 thought was unchangeable, yet 1 have I
O O 7 •>
\ been induced to depart from it in consequence of: 1
I the principle or plan of operations which lias J
i been adopted by the republican party in this:
[ state ; a plan which has met my most cordial up-
(probation, and which I hope will be persevered 1
jin, for I believe it to be strictly republican, and, J
[the only legitimate means by which the integri
ty of the party can be preserved. Indeed both i
jibe political parties in this state have become so
| well satisfied of this fact, (although by one of j
i them denounced in the most unqualified and un- ;
[measured terms of reprobation, and as contain-, t
ling every thing heretical in politics.) that they
[are now both, in the daily and openly acknow- (
{lodged practice thereof: I mean the principle I
|of conventional or caucus nominations, cull it j
!by what name you choose, for all high otfices. I L
i would not, however, here, wish to be understood,
;as asserting the principle that these nominations,
j when so made, are by any means obligator}
[upon the people, for they have the same right
ffo scan the qualifications and claims of the no
minees, examine and determine for themselves, as
[they before had, nor would I wish to be under
stood, as setting up, or pretending to have any
j higher claims upon the people, in consequence
jof being so placed in nomination, nor by any
| means to disparage the claims of other Highly
respected and talented gentlemen, whose names
may be before the public for the same appoint
ments, for if an individual has nothing more
than this to recommend him to the consideration
of the people, he will he informed by the people,
as he ought, that his services are not required
jby them. I men’ion these circumstances mere- \
ly to justify to you, the departure from thej
| course which I have repeatedly mentioned 1 had j
taken, and to preserve consistency of charac-!
[ter. It is perhaps not known to you all, that I,
j have b een so far honoured by a convention of |
| the republican members of the last legisla-l
Mure, as unknown and unsolicited by myself, to
|be placed upon the Conffressional Ticket. Un
|der such circumstances I have deemed it a duty
| rather th an a matter of choice to yield to the
[expressed wishes of tha* respectable con vent ion.
I hold it to be the duty of every man to contri
|bu‘e some T hing to the society in which he lives,
[more or less, according to his circumstances, tal-i
ents and oj portuniries. 1 am therefore willing}
:o contribute my mi'e, whenever an 1 whereso
ever it may be considered serviceable. If
therefore, the people think proper ‘o confer up
on me the favour for which my name is before j
them. I trust mat I snail not be ungrateful for :
“ It
■ their kindness, and can only promise to t;io best \
<n invabili v to disc liar ire wl:h lidelirv the im j
J • . .
tportant trust which is conmn ted to the repre
sentative of a free people; but it that honor •
be bestowed upon another, 1 shall havt !
j the pleasure and consolation of knowing, that,
, the choice wiii bo that of freemen ; that they j
j have the right of selecting their own agon f s : I
I'har the responsibility of the representative wdl
[be on the elected : and shall submit with all duo
{deference, respect and pleasure, to the;r deter
mination. Upon the subject of my political
icreed, it is not necessary, iiar will I detain yon
;longer than simply to say, that 1 am by birth,
{education, feeling, ana interest, a Georgian, i-;
Identified v, i h the south, and as tar as 1 know •
{myself and understand, a disciple and believer j
jin the doct'dims and tenets of the Jefferson inn j
mho. I. i ew< rd in. i dalion to our state poli-j
jcy, ami I have done. I have understood that a I
! report has gone abroad, that I am opposed to j
reform, as to our own constitution. 1 cannot !
for the life of me account for hds report, sure It
11 * i i
am. none has ever been more erroneous, or vom;
i ' ' \
of truth. Those who know me, who have coavcrs-'
led with me upon the subject heretofore, cantes-j
;lily that 1 am in favour of reform generally, anp |
that so far as a reduction of the members of the
; legislature is concerned, I have had but one opin
ion imon the subject; that whilst 1 was a mem
her of the legislature, ? used my best exertions,
|with others, to effect that very desirable object,!
las the printed reports of the proceedings of thei
,legislature,and speeches, and my votes, wiii;
'shew ; and that i have endeavored constantly,!
las far as rny opportunities have permitted, to;
correct public feeling upon that subject. I am:
now, and have ever been, in favour us a reduc- j
tion of the members of the legislature, and alsoi
in favor of changing some other features in our j
constitution, which I consider radically defee-j
tivc : I will only mention that which rel <tes to
the Judiciary. Others might be mentioned, did
time permit, and she occasion rendered it pro
per. I further state that 1 stand ready at all
times to enter upon any measure, with heart and
hand, that will correct those c\ ils, and bring a
bout this most desirable object of reformation 1
in our state government. In conclusion, per
mit me to oiler the following sentiment :
From the number of Candidates for public
suffrage, may the people select those who com-i
Line to die greatest extent, the qualifications of
{honesty, talents, the ability, and disposition to
do them the greatest good.

COTTON.—The market since our last report, has
been very languid, and the sales made have been com
paratively very small.—The principal sales at 9 cents —
I we quote 8 1-2 alO cents. In Sea Islands there is no.
j thing doing—we, therefore, continue last week’s quota
tions, 18 a 20 and upwards.
NEW-ORLEANS, June 30.
COTTON. —The whole' amount of receipts here diie
j season is 336,406 bales, to which we anticipate a small
I addition of a few straggling bales—the Exports for the
| .same time have been 295,001 bales.—The stock is di
minishing as rapidly as could be expected, nearly every
J vessel in port being busily engaged in loading, princi-
I pally on planter’s account,

EAGLE & PHIEXIS HOT-EL,
•Ftfgusta, ifteorgia,
: fKIHE Subscribers having leased this spacious ar.ii
| S elegant new Brick Building, beg leave to inform
ijthe public generally, that this hotel, with an extensive
(range ot stables, are now finished in the best s'yle fi r
• the reception of those who will honor the proprietors
I with their company. This establishment stands on the
Uitc of the old City Hotel on Bread-street, and in point ot
commodiousness, with the many recent improvements
(such as bells numbered and corresponding with each
room, &c. &c.) renders it superior to any in the South
ern country, it is pleasantly situated and contiguous to
the Steam-boat Wharf and to the point of active business
in the City. It is customary with proprietors in giving
such information to the public, to extol and render as con
spicuously as possible their establishment. However,
ot their own services and the general accommodation
they shall say nothing, leaving them to speak for them
selves. It is due their friends to say, that no personal
exertions or expense shall be spared to render their visi
tors and boarders in every respect comfortable; they
have attentive and obliging clerks and active servants,
and will provide for their table all the variety and luxu
ry that this, and the neighboring city markets can afford,
and their stable with good and capable hostlers and the
best provender which can be procured. To this csfab.
lishment is attached a neat and comfortable DRESSING
ROOM with a first rate BARBER.
They offer their services to the public, and hope tr>
merit a liberal share of patronage. To those who have
already honored them with their company, they grate
fully acknowledge their favours.
