FOR TUt CHKONICLI. AND AbVEHTHEK.
TO
My bean turns back tu happier hours,
Embalm'd in memory's bliss,
And fondly hopes some Lethean pow’ts
'twill hud lor the pours ol this.
• But ah! though throb* of sweetest pleasure,
Twill steal from lore sown secret treasure,
Some envious thought will cross the brain
And bring It back to fiercer pain.
° I ve atriren to tear from my fond breast,
Thy image, and forget tber,
For there no pence hat e'er found rest,
Since Ur hour when first I met thee.—
But rouudeach tendril of ray heart,
Tis twin’d so closely that no part,
Except with life, will leave it ever—
Death, death alone, their clasp can sever
1 taw thee, like a form of light,
Array’d ia heav’nly brightness,
Bursting upon my ravish'd sight
With a Seraph's airy lightness.—
I fancied (heeof (hat bright world
Where matchless glories arc unfurl’d;
And scarce dar’d love—so worship'd thee,
In spell bound, fond idolatry.
I've vainly sought, In others arms,
The bliss I found in thine—
And worship'd, in a thousand, charms
That all In thee combine.—
I've madly drank the wine-cup deep,
And sought in reason's horrid sleep,
To lose all dreams of thee—and then,
To fly thee in some change of scent.
But woman's charms that lur'd the eye,'
Urew tasteless on the Up,
As I thought of thine, Henfns light of Joy,
And lit brightest workmanship !
On me their brightest smiles have shone
Like moonlight on sepulchral stone—
Casting an outward show of gladness.
While all wltblo was gloom and sadness.
From pleasure's giddy balls I've turn'd,
To think of thee with sorrow,
And the goblet's weak delusions spurn'd,
That broaffbt a sadder morrow
from fairest seenr • I've roam'd, unmov'd,
Back to that spal where first we lov'd—
Amid all changes cbnvlant still—
To thee uncliaugM, unchangeable.

Mr. Pemh futon.
Sir: Will you ohl : ?o me and (ho friond* of
the deceased, upon whose death the enclosed
linos wore written* by re publishing them. The
reason I request it ia, (though not very tena
cious of my poetical abilities) bncau'O (as pub
lished'in the Courier of the 9th instant) it is in
correct and utipoetlc, and differs from the manu
script in three linns of the fifth verse, to wit,
the lirst, third and fourth. In the original the
lines were
Oh! scruUess Providence, before thy will,
Fain woitlu we bow submissive and resign'd;
Yet friendship must feel sorrows poignant thrill,
Whan Death hath sever'd beaus by love entwin'd.
Whether the difloreuce as it appears in the
Courier, originated in an editorial coiuikciton
or a typographical mistake, I know not. But
for my own sake, as my productions are known
by many (although in this instance written in
bait* and in tha piasence of the person who
culled upon me fur that purpose, and there
fore net expected to be perfect) and to save my
self the unpleasantness of ttiosw private critiques
Which I know lo be frequently made, I solicit
tlin (avor. The lines, as published, are as follows:
“Oh 1 searohless Hcsvi n,before thy sacred will"
F>< would we bow submissive amt resign'd,
“Vet nlendshlp must suffer from sorrow a thrill,
“When death sever# beans that love hath enlwin d.
It is needless to go into a philological disqili
siticu lo show the difference of measure, for it
must be obvious to the most obtuse and unmu
sical ci r. T.
On the iltatk of Matter WILLIAM STEVENS, o/N. York.
Oil! why, mv Willi mi, wvn lliou snatch'd so soon
From friendship's grasp nod parents' (looting arms;
WUv sank thy sun ere yet it reach’d its noon,
To spread full blown thy virtue's budding charms.'
Whv wi rt thou pluck'd, the blooming rose, awoy,
Whilst faded vico yet lingers on the stem;
Why tmi p* i. lined here awli'le to slay,
To bless thy frlcuds, a pure unsullied gem!
Too pure, (hou wert. too pure for this gross clod—
Like a bright dew-drop kiss'd Horn earth away;
To heaven thou'rt gone, lo ntnel thy maker, (sod,
And shine a Seraph in the realms of day.
Perhaps in kindness heaven had thus ordain'd
To rescue dice from ills of riper years;
Perhaps If thou hadst liv'd, alone remain’d
A life ol pain, of sorrow, and of tsars.
Oh! scrutlvss Providence, before thy will,
Fain would \va how submissive amt resign'd;
Yet friendship must feel sorrow's poignant thrill,
Wbeu Death hath sever'd hearts by luvr entwin'd.
Although no parent bath'd thy timeless hler
With love's warm tears, nor clos'd thy once bright eye;
Although from home a stranger thou wart here,
Hot soon shall they who knew ikee cease to sigh
Although no sister wept, no brother mourn'd,
Nor tiSot in sorrow o'er thy new-made grave,
Full many a friend thy funeral train adoru d,
Full tunny a tear ti sorrow there they gave.
Could youth and besuly save us from the tomb,
bill! bndst thou liv'd to be a mothers pi ids;
Could love and fr iendship change our final doom,
Still wouldsl thou shine fair virtue's youthful guide.
Lei this console Iliy aged parent's heart,
Though all thy budding honors were not blown;
Although thou'rt call'd so soon from her tu part,
JJelovd thou wen—admir'd wherever kuown.
Farewell, my William, fare thee we'l again !
Accept this tribute of a friend sincere,
A> the last oflVing that can now remain,
Save the sad one, to weep upon thy hicr.

The Napoleon, from Liverpool, has on
board three celebrated race horses, sent
out by Admiral Coffin, for ills eastern
friends. The names of the horses aie—
Barefoot, chesnut color, and a celebrated
racer; Cherub, a most beautiful bay: and
Cleveland an extraordinary large bay, 16

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Charlkston, June 6.
By the chip Perfect, Prince, and British
brig, General Brown, Sharpe, we have our
regular hies of London papers to 2d of
May, and Ltverpopl, to the 3d. inst.
There was no alteration in the prices of
Cotton during the week ending on the Ist.
of May. The sales of the week were 12,000
bales; the imports 9000 bales.
The political intelligence continues of a
desultory and indecisive character. An
article in the Gazette de France, under the
head of Bucharest, April 10, states that no
sign of the Russian troops speedily break
ing up from their encampments had been
perceptible two days previously, though
the report that they would still pass the
Prulh on the day originally fixed, (the
13th) had not been formally contradicted.
It was inferred, however, from the ab
sence of all preparations indicating haste,
that the passage would not be effected on
that day, but would be deferred to a more
distant period.
Accounts from Jassy state, that the
force collected at Adrianople presents an
imposing mass, and that every effort was
making to render its organization as com
plete at possible. Symptoms of jealousy,
however, had shown themselves between
the Asiatic troops, and those dcsciplined
in the European manner, which had ren
dered it necessary to make some severe
examples in order to subdue the turbulent
disposition of the former.
The report that the Servians had revol
ted is contradicted. So far from wishing
to add to the perplexities of the Forte, they
appear to have admitted the Turks into
the heart of their country without the slight
est opposition.
Accounts from Zante of March 28th, men
tion that a squadron of men of war of the
Allied Powers) had been cruizing before
Navnrin, and had prevented the departure
ofall ships. Pirates had been seen of)' IMaina.
The evacuation of Pampehma by the
French troops is confirmed. Accounts
from Cadiz state that there was not the
slightest preparation for evacuating that
fortress.
The Porte had sent Commissioners to
Greece to propose an armistice and amnes
ty on condition of their submitting. Count
, Capo D’lstria was of opinion that .it was
no longer in the power of the Greeks to
’ avail themselves of the proposal, and that
the Turkish Commissioners must upplv to
the Allied Powers, and not to the Greek
Government.
The Bill for the repeal of the British
Test and Corporation Acts had finally
passed the House of Lords. A report
was in circulation, however, that the King
had refused lo sign the Bill, and that Lord
Wellington, in consequence, had tendered
his resignation. This report is treated as
' ridiculous.
An article dated Vienna, April l(i,
states that a note had been received there
declaring the resolution of the British go
' vernment lo remain neutral in case of war
between Russia and Turkey, and lo co-op
erate with France in maintaining the Trea
ty of the 6th of July.
In a late silting of the French Chamber
of Deputies, tiie Minister of Marine stated
that the French naval force in the Mediter
ranean was actively engaged in rescuing
the Greek slaves taken from the Morea—
and that on the very day of the debate,
he had received a despatch by which he
was informed that one single vessel had
saved 437 of those wretched captives.
This announcement was received with
loud cheering.
A telegraph despatch from Toulon of
April 20, states that the Aslree frigate
had taken and burnt, at the entrance of (he
bay of Tunis, an Algerine corsair of 6 guns
and 60 men. This corsair was the only
one that hud left Algiers for two months.
Lord Eldon and several other Peers
have published a Protest against the Re
peal of the Test and Corporation Acts.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated
on the evening of the 2Sth in reply to a
question from Sir John Graham, respecting
the currency, that it was the fixed determi
nation of Ministers to abide by the Act of
)526, which takes all English notes under
£') out of circulation in April next; - and
that he should introduce a measure to pre
vent the circulation of Scotch and Irish
small notes in England.
In a late debate upon the Test and Cor
poration Acts, the I)uke of Wellington as
sured the House of Lords, that no Peer
could be more decidedly opposed than be
was lo any further concessions to the Ca
tholics. _ .
Sir Francis Burdetl had postponed his
motion upon the Catholic question, to the
Bth of May.
The works upon the Thames Tunnel
are said to proceed as satisfactory as could
well be expected.

The next session of the Legislature of
this Stale will be a very important one, and
it behoves the people to exercise their ut
most sagacity in the choice of their repre
sentatives. Over and above the usual bu
siness of legislation, in which every citizen
is more or less interested, it will devolve
on the next legislature to select eight Judg
es of the Superior Courts, Attorney Gen
eral and Solicitors, and a Senator in Con
gress. With one or two exceptions, the
present Judges will be candidates for re
election; and were the question lo turn
upan the fitness of the candidates, the fidel
ity and intelligence with which the present
incumbents have fulfilled nil the duties of
their offices, would, no doubt, secure to
them almost a unanimous re-election. But,
unfortunately for our State, the foul spirit
of party has insinuated itself into almost
every department of government, and in
nearly every circuit, candidates have been
announced, who place their highest pre
tentions to office on their adherence to a
party. This is not as it should be.
In this Circuit it is understood that the
present incumbent will not be a candidate
for re-election.
In the middle Circuit Judge Schley will
etyronfclc <tn9
be opposed by Gen. Holt, of Augusta.—
And if the people of the Circuit, to whom
he has given universal satisfaction, could
decide the matter, there could be no doubt
on whom the choice would rest.
In the Northern Circuit it is yet rather
uncertain whether Judge Crawford will be
a candidate for re-election, or whether he
will compete with Gov. Troup for a seat in
the Senate of the U. S. The Caucus at
Alliens must settle this matter.
In the Western Circuit Judge Under
wood will have two competitors, the late
Judges Clayton and Harris.
There will be two competitors also for
Judge Kenan’s seat on the bench of the
Ocmulgee Circuit, Messrs. Thos. W. Cobb
and Eli S. Shorter.
Judge M’Donald, of the Flint Circuit,
will be opposed by iMessrs. C. B. Strong
and O. H. Prince.
In the Southern Circuit, Judge Fort will
be opposed by Mr. Holt.
In the Chatahoochy Circuit, as Judge
Colquit belongs to the present dominant
party, it is presumed he will be suffered to
run in without competition. \
In all these cases, the Representatives of
the people will have to decide between the
claims of merit, the claim arising from past
faithful service, and the claims of party. —
It is to be hoped, that the people will so
far look to their own welfare, as to send
such individuals to Milledgeville as will
consult their judgements rather than their
passions, and who will legislate rather for
the whole state, than the confined limits of
a particular sect. —Savannah Mercury,
“DISPLAY THY BANNER.”
VVe perceive by a communication in the
Augusta Chronicle and Advertiser, that a
meeting of those persons friendly to the
election of Mr. Adams, are said to have
determined to meet in Wrightsborongh,
Columbia county, on Saturday next for the
avowed object of adopting measures in op
position to the election of General Jackson.
The writer of the article asserts, that the
Citi/.ens of Columbia and the adjacent
counties have determined to meet. This
we do not believe. A few persons, may,
possibly, have given him countenance, but
we feel certain that the large majority
know nothing of the matter, and that when
they become acquainted with the design,
will view it with contempt. It cannot he
disputed thqt an overwhelming majority of
the citi/.ens of this Slate prefer Andrew
Jackson to John Q. Adams, and that every
effort made by the puny arms of his adver
saries will prove a mere farce. VVe now
call on those opposed to the re-election of
John Q. Adams to remain firm at their
posts, and meet the enemy on his first ap
proach. Think not because the victory
will be certain and easily won, that caution
should be disregarded. Every man is re
quired to do his duty, and make the triumph
complete. We will digress from the sub
ject a aiomerit in order to call on the Geor
gia Journal to display its flag, and let its
character come fairly before the people,
that they may not mistake an enemy for
a friend. VVhat are its principles? what
are the measures it advocates?—lt avows
that the Tariff cannot operate against our
interests, fur, that articles on which duties
are imposed and which are produced in the
United States will enhance in value exactly
in proportion as such duty may be raised.
This idea is not only erroneous, but it is
ridiculous, and requires no comment. —
Reader, perhaps you have forgotten the
language the Journal made use of relative
to Mr. Clay’s celebrated Book, if so, we
would direct your attention to its columns,
some weeks back, wheie you will find the
following, viz:—
“His, [C/ay’s] friends extol it, as a com
plete and perfect vindication from every
charge—his adversaries, are, us is natural,
busy in picking holes in it. The candid
will judge for themselves.”
And where are we to class the Journal?
Not among the candid, for as yet it inarch
es on neutral ground, and has not display
ed independence enough to enter the ranks
of the one side, or the other. Does the
Journal attempt to infer that the friends of
General Jackson are torturing JMr. Clay’s
book into a different meaning from that it
bears upon its face? when it asserts‘‘his ad
versaries, are, as is natural, busy in picking
holes in it,” if so, it will prove a difficult task
for it to maintain neutrality, and will find
itself driven into the camp of our enemy,
where, should it meet with its deserts will
be compelled to brook a cold reception.—
VVe call on it to come out. We are oppos
ed in principle to Clay, Adams, and the
coalition; we are the friend of Andrew
Jackson —the friend of his country.

E. 11. Br an . i , Esq. Ed. Statesman &
Patriot, Millcdgevilk, Gn,
During^
the'whole of yesterday, crowds of both sex- I
es resorted to the scene of*, the destructive i
conflagration on Monday evening. An i
amateur and distinguished patron of the i
arts, who has examined the roost pictu
resque ruins in Italy and other parts of Eu
rope, remarked to us that the front of the i
Bowery presents one of the finest subjects
for the pencil he has ever seen; and we have
since learned, that a sketch has already
been taken by one of our artists. Would
a view of this ruin be too gloomy a deco
ration for the drop-scene in the new Thea
tre, which is about to rise like a Phoenix
from the ashes of the old?
We understand from good authority, that
the new Theatre, to be erected on the same
site and completed during the summer, is
intended to present a beautiful model of
pure Grecian Order. The collonnade in
front is to be of the primitive Doric, with
fluted columns, in imitation of the Temple
of Theseus. Every person of taste will
rejoice at the increased attention which our
i architects rosllmest in the style of building,
and which will ere long redeem New York
from the exaggerated charge of being a
century behind some of her sister cities in
architecture.— N. Y. Statesman, 28 th ult.
From the Brooklyn, L. J. Star, May 29.
Yankee Trick.— A few days since a
man who belongs to a gang of yankee turn
pike makers, who are for the present at
Busluvick, committed an assault & battery
on a peaceable inhabitant of that town.
A warrant was issued against him, and
the constable apprehended him, but the
fellow was rather pugnacious, and easily
effected his escape. A few days afterwards
the constable discovered Mr. White hat,
as he was called, for want of a better
name, and immediately gathered a posse,
and chased him into a house occupied by
his turnpiking companions. The party
surrounded the house and while they were
summoning courage to enter, Whitehat
was seen to issue from a back door and fly
swiftly across the fields, and the whole par
ty immediately joined in pursuit. The
chase continued some distance, but at
length Whitehat was overtaken, when be
hold! it was not the real Whitehat, but one
of his companions who assumed the dis
guise, and led the whole pack off on a false
scent. On returning to the house the of
fender was not to be found, and lire consta
ble had only to enter it us an escape.
Binns, in his Press of Wednesday after
noon, attempts to substantiate the charges
which he brought against the postmaster
general. It will require something more
to be depended on than Binns’ word to con
vince the people of the United States, that
Mr. M’Lean is either an incompetent or an
unfaithful public officer; and Binns has not
yet attempted to adduce any evidence oth
er than his own ipse dixit. — Phila. Amer.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1828.
O* At the request of many Subscribers, we
shall in future issue tbe Chkonici.e & Adver
tiser on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as for
-1 merly.
ißank us Daritn. —The following paragraph
which we copy from the Statesman h Patriot
of the 7th inst. gives a flattering prospect of the
affairs of this Bank, and must be highly grati
fying to those of its friends who, in tbe last
Legislature, opposed the veto end tbe harsh
measure recommended by the Governor.—
Had that measure been carried into effect it
would iu all probability have completely
crushed tbe institution and the property of
many individuals involved in its welfare, and
at tbe same time have sacrificed that large
portion of tbe Treasury fund which is compri
sed of its bills—while as it is, there is every
,’i'obabitity that this large sum will bo entirely
' saved by the judicious liberality of those who
defeated it:
Punctuality. —We understand that the Bank
of Darien, punctual to its own voluntary pro
position, has, during the past week, redeemed
from the Treasury of the State, SEVENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS of its bills.
It will be recollected that this payment was
i not due until tbe Ist of July. This promptness
is the more gratifying that the enemies of the
Institution bad flattered themselves that the
Bank would not be able tu make these large
and frequent advances. We congratulate the
! public on this assurance that its future pay
' meets will be made with equal promptness, and
that under its present direction, it will ere long
come up through all its tribulation to honor and
triumph, j
In the paragraph in cur last upon (be subject
| of the late Treaty with the Western Cherokees,
; we observed, in speaking of tbe inducements
j- to emigration, offered to the Cherokees in
Georgia, “those who do not choose to emigrate
! on these terms, arc to be placed under (he
I jurisdiction of the laws of Georgia.” This
. might leave the impression with many that the
Treaty contained a provision to that effect,
, which (he government certainly has no right to
make, and therefore, to prevent-or correct any
such impression we take this opportunity to
remark, that the idea wo intended to convey
was, (hat the Cherokees who do not choose to
emigrate will be subjected by Georgia herself
to the jurisdiction of her laws, as a natural
consequence of their remaining within the lim
its of the State.
Another destructive fire occurred in New
York on (be 28th ult. which en'irely consumed
six two-story brick buildings on Charlton
street,occupied by Messrs. Cox, Ludlow, Marlin,
Gilbert, Robinson, Bogart, Sears & Baldwin,
and considerably injured several others. There
is no doubt that it was caused by an incendiary.
At the same time two attempts wer« made to
fire a brick Louse on Carmine Street, and in
one of them a fellow was observed in the act
and pursued by tbe watch, but succeeded is ef
fecting his escape—and on the same day, a
stable on Church street, an oul-house opposite
the Washington Market, and the vestry room o ,
St. Paul's Church, were set on fire. The fire in <
the out-house communicated to the store and i
grocery store of Mr. Howell Hopper, the former <
of which was considerably injured and the latter I
nearly destroyed. The Insurance Companies «
have offered a reward of $lOOO for the appre
hension of any of the incendiaries. Two mdi- I
viduals named John Bradshaw and Bcnj. Gif- I
ford, jr. are supposed to be buried in the rums
of the Bowery Theatre.
— i
The New York papers slate that the Propri- |
etors of the late Bowery Theatre have made ar- (
rangements to commence immediately, the bail- |
ding of a new Theatre on the same site, which j
is to be constructed on a far more splendid and <
exlensive style than the former one and finished ,
by the Ist or 15lh September next. It is to be
extended back twelve feet from the Bowery, ,
the rear to be on the line of Elizabeth street, (
& an elegant Colonnade is to extend the whole |
length of the front. The proprietors bava ex- |
pressed there entire satisfaction with the whole (
management of Mr. Gilfort and proposed to ,
place the new Theatre under his direction, as
will be seeu by the resolution enclosed in the
following note:
New York, May 21, 1828.
The Trustees of the New York Association
present their respects to Mr. Gilfert. It affords
tbera much pleasure to transmit bim the enclos
ed resolution, passed at a meeting of the pro

Resolved, That the proprietors of the New

Mr. Gilfert their entire satisfaction with the
whole course ofhis official conduct in the man
agement of the New York Theatre; and they

FOR THE CHRONICLE AND ADVERTISER.
Mr. Remit) ton:
1 seldom dabble in politics, and am only
induced to outer the lists uow, because those
more competent to enlighten the public mind
evince an unaccountable apathy on a subject
which 1 conceive to be of vast importance to the
people of Georgia. 1 need scarcely add that
the subject alluded to is connected with the
Presidential election.
No small share of our distresses, or at least of
those in perspective, are attributable to that
Administration “system (as John Randolph
justly styles it) of robbing one part of the coun
try to enrich another,’’ which deprives the
Southern planter ofhis hard earnings to increase
the profits of tho Northern manufacturer.—
“The head and front of their offending hath this
extent” at least. But, say their partizans, the
articles which we in our wisdom have thought
fit to tax so heavily, will thereby be rendered
cheaper! Add forty per ceut. tax to the origl
nal coat of an article, and it will be cheaper to
the consumer! Disguise it as they may, their
arguments lead to this absurd conclusion at
last. If, as they maintain, the domestic article
can be sold lower than the foreign, this circum.
stance alone will exclude foreign competition,
and render that protection, for which they so
loudly and assiduously exclaim, gratuitous and
nugatory. But their loud clamors lor snpport
gives the contradiction to their boasting, No
man of honor will call on his neighbor to assist
in fighting his battles so long as be feels bimsell
able to inset the enemy alone, and on equal
terms. And if the American manufacturer
cauuot meit the British on equal terms, it is not
true that they can sell the article as cheap.—
But again we are told that it is necessary to
our nalioml independence that wo adopt what
has been, more speciously than justly, styled the
A ucrican system, and that there need be no
monopoly—that the market is free to the South
erner as well as to his fellow-citizen of the
North. To all such, 1 would answer, we dont
choose to be driven into a measure, even if it
were susceptible of demonstration that it was
for our own benefit. We have the right, as ue
believe, to direct the channels of our own in
dustry, aud we concede to our Northern bre
thren the same privilege.
We charge these things to the present admin
istration. It may be replied that we shall gain
nothing by the contemplated change in the next
election. Wo think differently. We admit
that Jackson supported the Tariff of 1824, and
we have his owu declaration that his opinions
have since undergone nochaage. But it will
be recollected that the Tariff' has undergone
very important changes since that time. We
hope much from General Jackson. But 1 have
partially digressed from the subject i intended
to discuss. It is unquestionably true, aud 1 be
lieve all candid men will acknowledge it, that
there arc nineteen out of every twenty through
out the Stale, who prefer Jackson to Adams—
and if the people could vote directly for Presi
dent and Vice President (as we think they
should) without the intervention of Electors,
the fact would be demonstrated at the polls.—
I believe the proportion much greater in favor
of the Hero; yet this lean minority, encouraged
by, and hoping to taka advantage of, the dis
tractions of party strife, have been induced to
make an effort to form an electoral ticket favor
able to Adams. They cannot, nor do they
hope to succeed, except by the divisions pre
vailing in the ranks of their enemies.
it will be recollected that two Electoral
Tickets are before the people for their suffrages,
one nominated by the Clark pacty (so called)
pledged to support Jackson, the other by the
friends of the late Governor, and not pledged
but supposed to be iu favor of Jackson. Here
then is the policy of the Adams men, They
believe that the two great parties are so nearly
divided that by subtracting the Administration
men (few as they are) they will prevent an
election of Electors by the people, as a major!,
fy is necessary to a choice—consequently the
election will devolve on the Legislature.—
There they hope to have more favorable ground
to manoeuvre on, and to bring their efforts to
bear with more effect.
People of Georgia! will you suffer yourselvee
thus to be trifled with? Will you bok tamely
on and see your best and most inestimable privi
leges arrested from you. Was it not to secure
to yourselves the right of electing your own ru
lers and place it beyond the reach of abuse, that
you took upon yourself the election of electors
of President and Vice President—instead of
confiding it, as heretofore, to the legislature?
If this was your object, can you submit,
when you have the power in your own hands,
to be robbed of that power by a few heartless
politicians. For the honor es Georgia 1 hope
not. Nothing *s more easy than to prevent
such a humiliating result. Let all the true
friends of Gen. Jackson unite in the support of
one Ekclonal Ticket— it matters not which, or
who may constitute that Ticket, provided it
embodies character sufficient to command the
confidence of the people. But let each indi
vidual of that Ticket tie solemnly pledged to sup
port Jackson.
This must be a Sine qua non with every mat.
who gets my vote as an elector, aud 1 do ai.s
- hope that it will be the same with every
friend of Jackson throughout the .3tale. The
friends of the Administration say that oa each
->f the electoral tickets nominated, are men, who,
ii elected, will vote for Adams. I have heard
one name specified on each; and whether this
charge bo true in regard to either, I know not;
yet 1 deem it of the first importance that I should
now, before I vote for either.*
i hope and trust that neither of the gentle
men would suffer bis name lobe run as a Jackson-
Elector, and if successful, traitorously desert l/
the standard of the enemy.
Before I placo my privileges, however, in
the hands of any man, I must have anassur
mce from him that ho will not prostitute
them to adverse purposes. I hope that the
.icoplo of Georgia will not go blind fold into the
hoice of Electors—and to enable them to vote
mdoralandiogly on the subject, every man win
has beeu nominated should be required to state
-xplicitly, who he intends to veto for (if elec -
ted) as President, aud who as Vico President.
They may be, and no doubt arc, ‘all honora
blc mend Yet even honorable men have dis
obeyed the will of their constituents. If it is
their purpose to act honorably, they will not
hesitate to declare their sentiments; and if they
refuse to do so they should not be trusted.
Asa citizen of Georgia, and ouo who highly
estimates the elective franchise, I therefore
propose the following queries to all such as sic.
or may hereafter bo, candidates for doctors—
and any man refusing to answer,l shall consider
unqualified to act as my representative in ties
important business—and 1 do most earnestly
solicit and entreat all the friau Is of him ‘who
h s filled the measure of lua country's glory’ to
join me heart and hand, that we way be able,
on tbe first Monday in October, to give him a
dong pull, a strong pull, and a yiuW'allogethsrd
Queries. If choseu a s an elector, for whom
will you vote as President, at the ensuing elec
tion ?
Under similar circumstances, for whom wi'd
you vote as Vice President?
Answers to the above queries arc respectful
ly solicited as early as possible.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. *
Our correspondent “Americus” is again ial
formed that we cannot give place to his cem-l
munication of 22 pages, for (he reasons which!
we gave in our last. Our resolution, as
was adopted with a due regard to the duly ' vP l
owe to our subscribers generally, and we as y«!» I
see no just cause to depart from it. We half I
not ‘'denied bis right to be beard,’’ but on I
contrary, have offered to give him the !> se I
space in our columns which we should allows I
any one; and it must be considered
ble in him to expect more. To “subdivide ib ■
us he proposes, would extend it to tb* 1 2 e9, l
tour succeeding pages, even if we were e'-' J '||
bled to continue the subject regularly; and '4 |
keep it and our remarks upon it, beso ;f H
the public so long, would give them ve<7H
much N os the character of a bore —at least "T|
should feel this on our own part. And sbo ul OT
he determine to reduce its size, it will be a c ||
cessary at tbe same time, to exclude such f r jy
luitous ridicule and abuse of General Jackson, V
is by no means necessary to the advance® 611 !
of his argument. [
Our correspondent “Timothy” will esc 9 '®
our leaving out several paragraphs of his
munication, which must otherwise have h 6 6!
excluded altogether, on account of its l« n £‘ I
and even as it is, we found it impractical)' 6 ■
insert it without excluding matter of our o« T 'i
“Spectator” and “T,” shall be inserts I
possible, in our next. “Diogenes” is load® 1 !
sible. His arguments are good, but his langu*W
is frequently too violent, aud if he shall
proper to correct it in this respect, it Blia ' ■
inserted with pleasure- I
