STATE RIGHTS NOMINATION. (
FOR GOVERNOR, .
CHI’S R. DOUGHERTY.
CITY PUMP CONTRACTOR.
G. F. Pahish was on Saturday last elfectcd by !
the City Council of Augusta, Pump Contractor, 8
for a term of three years; commencing on the first *
Inst. ‘
JOSEPH VV. JACKSON. c
“ A worthy son of a noble sire.”
Wc have only time to claim the attention of (
our readers to the dignified and patriotic vindica
tion of the character of the late Gov. Jackson, by
1
one of his most devoted sons, whose name stands
at the head of this paragraph.
ANOTHER RESIGNATION. 1
The Columbus Sentinel, of the 6th inst. says —
«We have to state, from good authority, that [
Gen. John A. Sanford; a member elect to the “
next Congress, has accepted an official appoint- I
ment from the President of the United States, 1
and has sent in liis letter of resignation to the
Governor.”
t
EQUANIMITY.
In belligerent controversies, there arc few, if !
any, who preserves a temper so equable, or laughs (
with more grace at his adversary, thari Mr. Noau, 1
of the New York Evening Star. He thus notices ,
an attack from the Evening Post:
“ We learn that the Post had a hit at us last
evening. Very well. As we dp nothing in a ‘
passion, we shall go down to Tyson’s, No; 8, <
Broad street, take a bowl of excellent turtle, and |
a glass of iced punch,—which we recommend
others to do, —come back, read the article, and, if (
it is worth noticing, shall serve out the Post to
morrow.” 1
THE TEXAS FRAUD AND MANIA.
Wc refer our readers to Mr. Rutherford’s ac- |
count of Texas—the modern El Dorado, so long ,
and so loudly lauded. Mr. R. is a respectable and
intelligent Georgian, and a man whoso word cart
be depended on,
We would remark, in addition to the informa
tion communicated by Mr. Rutherford, that the
Texas experiment is an extensive and Yazoo-likc
kind of fraud and speculation, from which no ad
vantage can possibly be derived, but by the im
mediate operators, who purchase largely from the
Mexican authorities, at a little or no price—which,
having done, they delude their unwary follow
ers, by immediately disposing to them untenable
grants of the lands, from which they (the opera
tors) derive some 500 or 1000 per cent. Every one
knows, or should know, tho revolutionary charac
ter of Mexico, and that a grant of land, purchased
today, under one authority, may be confiscated
tomorrow, under another. We hope these facts
will make a due impression upon all honest and
enterprising men, who may feel disposed to emi
grate to this foreign country.
THE FANATICS.
We have read several suggestions from the
Southern prints, as remedies for the violent, un
natural, and outrageous attempts of the Aboli
tionists, upon a common right guaranteed us
by the Constitution of the United States. Wc
have seen none yet to prefer to those we have re
spectfully advanced; which were, as our readers
will recollect, legislative action on tho part of the
States wherein the Abolitionists harbor, or the
action of a Southern Convention on the subject.
As regards the first remedy proposed, it appears
to us, that there can be no sort of reasonable ob
jection whatever. The States in which the Abo
litionists reside, must well know, that they arc
not only daily holding forth inducements to a vi
olation of our constitutional privileges; but with
a bold and unparalellcd temerity, arc counselling
treason and disunion. These facts, we repeat, the
States we allude to, must well know—and,
knowing them, ought to adopt some legislative
act, prohibiting, under severe and effectual penal
ties, the treasonable combinations against the
South. Such a measure would be effectual in ,
removing the growing and alarming evil, and at 1
the same time confirm the professions which the
North and East have often reiterated, of their re- (
sped for our constitutional and municipal privi
leges. In the adoption of this measure, they j
would become also, the conservators of the Con
stitution and tho laws, and not, as now, the Ihef- s
fectual repellents of mob justice. Every princi
ple of humanity, as well as every motive of inte- ;
rest should impel the North and East to the
course we have indicated—for, wc can conscien- i
tiously say to them, that they are more defcply
concerned in the subject than is the South. 1
But, should our brethren deem it improper to ren
der the South and the Constitution the justice due (
them,the South mustimmediately take the momen
tous question into her own hands, and by a Conten
tion of her own States, strike at the treasonable |
efforts which have been, and arc still making to de
stroy their property and deluge their soil in blood. (
We can imagine no other alternative. Indeed,
there cannot possibly be another, except it is i
through the fierce and sanguinary media of j
mobocratic interference—and our northern and
eastern brethern arc, we think, pretty well con
vinced by this time, that such Interference is not
well calculated to promote good order, heal the i
evil, or add cither to their safety or prosperity;
One thing is certain—the disease must be cor- 1
reeled before it reaches a crisis, and on this, the i
South is determined. It would therefore be well, I
and emincnly conducive to a good and friendly '
understanding between both parties, that the au- <
thoritics under whose jurisdictions tho South is i
assailed and threatened with destruction, should
take the subject into most serious considera- ■
tion, and exercise (he legal and effectual remedy i
which they hold in their own hands. If this should J
be promptly done, it will supercede the necessity
of a resort to a Southern Convention, or the .
dreadful catastrophe of a dissolution of tho Union, !
which the Abolitionists and their long train of '
friends, both political and ecclcsidslical, are strug- '
gling so imperiously, industriously, and pertina- i
ciously lo accomplish, by prostrating the South at '
the fcotdf a Consolidated Government.
THE COURIER.
Wc told this inconsiderate and calumniating ■
paper, that “it would noose itself without our aid,” ,
and, sure enough it did it. Not content with
assailing the Chronicle, the Courier has made,
in its last Monday’s issue, a most flagrant,
furious, yet impotent assault upon our worthy,
exemplary, and respectable Postmaster; for
no other reason, as it appears, but that of
telling the truth. The Courier is, certainly, labo
ring under a fatal hallucination, else it could not
have committed itself in tho extraordinary way i 1
has. It has the peerless audacity to intimate, in
the following expression, that the Postmaster is
leagued with the Abolitionists:
“ To be plain, [says the Courier] we suspected”
[aye, ‘suspicion always haunts the guilty mind,’]
«the Postmaster had received a packet of these
publications for discretionary use, and had done
us the honor of poking one into our box.”
What will the people of Augusta, and of Rich
mond County, say to this intended implication of
the Postmaster, —a young gentleman of sterling
qualities and irreproachable character, born, nursed
aild matured, as he was in tho very bosom of this
community I Why, they will treat the implica
tion with the scorn it merits; and tell the Courier
that the only presumable object it has in view, in
indirectly traducing the Postmaster, is, to “reform
him out of office,” and procure for itself, under the !
auspices of the present “ spoils” administration,the
department over which he so ably and impartial
ly presides.
The Courier charges the Postmaster as coming ;
“out a volunteer in tho cause of the JVullifiers,
and lending an equivocating connivance to the
Chronicle to invalidate the force of our suspici
ons, 1” &c. This is not true. When we read
the assertion in the Courier, that it “ had investi
gated this matter” [the reception of Abolition pa
pers in this city,] “ and With a single exception, in
this county, found those teceiving them, all .Vulli
fiers,” we called at tho Post Office, to ascertain
if it was Sb, presuming lhatwe should be able to ob
tain as correct information there, as we possibly
could from the Courier. To our inquiry, in re- |
lation to its assertion, we were told by a gentle
man attending the office, as we have already sta- |
ted, that the assertion of tho Courier,was “ altoge
ther gratuitous.” But, it appears that the Courier
is more intimately acquainted with the contents
and transmissions of tho Post Office, than the
Postmaster himself How comes this 1 From
whence does the Courier derive its information 1
Has it become alarmed, and thinks it necessary to
cry “Stop thief!” for the purpose of eluding ob
servation and detection 1 Let it answer the ques
tions.
Our only regret on the occasion is, that the
Post Master should condescend lo have noticed,
to say the least of them,—the querulous, in
consistent, and impertinent interrogatories of the
Courier, Such an act of condescension was not
required by public opinion or public feeling. On .
the contrary, the course of the Courier, is almost
universally regarded as an outrage On common |
1 propriety, and that the Post Master ought to have
: passed it over with silent indifference and con
' tempt. But, the high responsibility of his office,
1 no doubt induced him to believe it was necessary
! to answer the Courier, presuming it probable that
1 the statement of that paper might, perchance, be
credited abroad.

COMMENCEMENT, AC.
Athens,
i Wednesday being Commencement day, the
- usual exercises in the College Chapel were at
i tended by an immense auditory, filling, not only
f all the Pews, but all the aisles, also, and the en
-5 trance and portico—and composed ot the most
, distinguished, respectable, and fashionable, of
t both sexes, from all parts of the Stale. The ex
- crerses commenced with prayer by the President,
i and continued with Orations, as follows:

• Initials of the Phi Kappa and Demostheni
an Societies:
These addresses, aro generally considered high’
ly creditable to the Orators and the Institution,
and those we heard certainly were so; but, owirig
to the great crowd and exceeding heat of the day;
we were present only during the delivery of part
of them, one or two of which manifested much
ability and excellence.
After the Orations, the Degree of Bachelor of
Arts was conferred on the following named grad
uates :

The exerfeises of the morning closed with an
affectionate; able, and highly appropriate address
to the graduates, by the Rev. Dr. Church, Presi
dent of tho College ; w hich did equal honor to
his head and his heart, and was peculiarly excel
lent and impressive in its admonitions against
those blighting curses of society, drinking and
gambling. God send that they may have their
just and proper influence, not only on those to
whom they were particularly addressed, but all
who heard them!
In the afternoon, the anniversary Meetings of
the Dcmosthcnian and Phi Kappa Societies were
held in their respective halls; and in the former,
which we attended, an excellent, appropriate, and
highly interesting Oration was delivered by John
Lamar, Esq. of Macon, an honorary member of
the society, and very warmly received.
On the next day, Thursday, the customary
Anniversary Oration before the two literary socie
ties, and strangers generally, was delivered by
, Daniel ChXndler, Esq, of Washington, Wilkes
county ; arid we have no hesitation in saying,
what indeed appears to be the uniform opinion of
all who heard it, that it was, both in matter and
trianner, the most chaste, beautiful, fascinating,
brilliant, and eloquent production ever presented
oil any similar occasion. Its excellent subject
was Female Education; and how nobly, justly,
admirably and effectively it was managed, we will
not pretend 15 describe. It will doubtless be pub
lished by the societies , and, even when stripped
of the fascinating beauties of its delivery, cannot
fail to surprise and delight every reader. We
trust, too, that it will infuse into every one its
own zealous and Enthusiastic advocacy of a noble
and most desirable object—the establishment of
l institutions for the education of females, equal in
t all their means of instruction, to those devoted
I to males. Notwithstanding the time of its de
livery, which occupied, we believe, considerably
more than an hour, it held its overflowing audi
ence, as it were, spell-bound, from beginning to
end—in almost breathless silence, broken only by
simultaneous bursts of enthusiastic applause—
and left it under a still eagerly listening appetite
that seemed to “grow with what it fed oh." Eve
ry social circle in the village is still ringing with
its praises, as will soon be every one throughout
the Stale—all unanimous in the opinion, that
never had nobler object, a nobler advocate.
Twenty-cight new students have been examin
ed and admitted into the College; and among
the excellent provisions for the future prosperity
of tho institution, its friends will be gratified to
Ic4rn that the Board of Trustees has increased
the previously, iricagre and altogether inadequate
salaries of the Professors to $3,000 each—a
measure most desirable and necessary of all—end
appropriated $ 1,000 for the purchase of books,
and an additional sum for Maps, Apparatus, &c.
It will also afford them pleasure to learn, that the
most perfect baimony exists both in the B6ard>
and among the Faculty, and that the general
prospects of tho institution encourage the most
' flattering anticipations of the future.
! The Executive Committee of the State Rights
, Convention met in the village yesterday, agreea
bly to appointment, and nominated, as candidates
t to fill the existing vacancies in Congress, Col.

ments of the editor, thereon, that tho public may
be amused by seeing the truly laughable impu
dence with which our opponents attempt to inter
fere with our party affairs, and the eager but im
potent assiduity with which they labor to bolster
up a bad cause, not by relying on its own merits
—and, indeed, no wonder at that! —but by des
perately grasping at every possible means, howe
ver speculative and uncertain, of exciting jealousy
discontent, and distraction among its opponents!
How mean they ought to feel, when they remem
ber, that Judge Clavton, having long ago deter
mined to retire from public life, positively declined
to accept a nomination in 1833, for the last elec
tion—and now learn, that he was again earnestly
requested to accept a nomination for tho ensuing
canvass, and again positively declined it.

FOR THE AUOUSTA CHRONICLE.
THE BEAUTIES OF CONSISTENCY.
“Talk of the consistency of John and Bill,”
said an old crony of mine the other day, “ pshaw !
its ‘ all my eye, Betty Martin.’ Consistency, did
you say,—whew ! they don’t know the meaning
of the word. They aro true representatives of
their party, however; for, bless your soul! they
will not and cannot agree even about the simple
spelling of their own dear name. One of them
spells it, S-c-h-l-e-y, and tho other, S-h-I-y. Now
between you, me, and the post, the right spelling
of their cognomination is, S-L-Y. I have trac
ed their geneological tree, and find they arc
lineal descendants of the SLY gentleman, who
was inlmortalized In that famous ditty of
“ Said Mister Sly,
In passing by.
Lord,” &c. &c; &c. &c, &c.”
PETER PILGARLIC.
The Idle Disturbances. —The mail arrdnge
ments for this part of the Slate aie such, that wc
arc left completely in the dark in regard to what
is going on in our own State. Jatkson, the seat
of government is within a day’s ride of us, and
it is impossible to have a letter conveyed to that
place by mail or to receive one hither, in less time
than a fortnight, and the newspapers wc receive
frortl Jackson are generally three weeks old. From
this circumstance we are unable to lay before our
readers any news from the lower counties in re
lation to the late disturbances, which wo arc
aware have created on intense interest in all purls
of the State. We tiro happy to slate that the
excitement has bocrl allayed in our own county.
One man was exccutbd at Benton, thohgh another
who was convicted of the same crime was suffered
to escape. This latter circumstance argues more
against this summary mode of proceeding, than
any Other reason that could bo adduced. We
hope that what has been done will be a warning
to these men, and we believe as we hope, that it
will never again be necessary lo resort to such a
course.— Manchester (Miss.) Herald, July 18.
The Standard of Union takes it upon itself to
deny a charge against Judge Schley, which was
probably never made, except as it appears in that
paper. They say, that it has been “reported that
he refused to illuminate his house, when the news
of the victory of New Orleans was received in
Louisville, and that his house was brickbatted or
stoned in consequence.”
Whether this charge was made or not, is imma
terial—but he is charged with refusing to illumi
nate his house, when the news of peace arrived,
when all the other houses in Louisville were illu
minated. It is believed that the house was brick
batted at that time.—But one fact is certain —that
drums and other instruments were procured by
several of the citizens for the pmposc of beating
the ‘'Hogues’ March ” around his house, but it
was prevented by a distinguished citizen, Irom
respect to his aged parents, who were under the
same roof. Proof of this can be adduced at any
time.
He is also charged with being a violent Feder
alist, and opposed lo the war—which tho Stan
dard of the Union can attempt to disprove at
their leisure, if they choose; and when they
effect it, we shall believe in their ability to wash
an Ethiopian while.— Macon Messenger.
The Alabama Jackson papers are in extacy, at
their success in Montgomery county. It seems,
however, on recurring to the figures, thrtt their
majority is much reduced, since last year—that
thirty-six votes cover all the candidates, for the
legislature,—that, out of three representatives, one
State Rights’ man was elected, —and that Dixon
H. Lewis was not opposed,lot Congress.

LATE St IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.
By the ship Troy, from Liverpool, wo have our
London dates to July Ist. The most important
item is the death of the brave Zumalacarreguy,
the Carlist chieftain, who has fin several years
past carried such terror into the queen’s provinces
on the north. It is affirmed that the autocrat of
Russia, who, as may be supposed, has furnished 1
doubtless from his coffers, the funds necessary to i
the Carlisle, has now openly announced his inten
tion to interfere in their behalf. The lories in
parliament, are making a similar movem’ent by
endeavoring to throw obstacles in the way of the
embarkation of the proposed British reinforce
ment, as permitted by the order in council. Lord
Mahon, in the Commons, like Lord A hartley of
late, in the Peels, came near involving himself in
a personal affair with Col. Evans, the officer who |
is to command that expedition, and on whom the
noble lord cast some imputations, which he was
•bliged to retract.
The Municipal Corporation bill proves a farther!
source of triumph to tho Reformer's. Every at- j
tempt of the Tories, Peel, Stanley, Ac. to embar- |
rasa it with aristocratic amendments, has been put
down by large majorities. The feudal barons of

the Jewish persuasion,” says she English papers,
ever elected to that office.
Lord Brougham, at the suggestion ofLbrd Mel
bourne, has substituted a hill for the resolutions on
Education, introduced by him in tiie Peers.
Charles Matthews, tho celebrated enmmedian,
is dead. He was bom in the year 1776. His dis
ease is said to have been ossification of the heart,
the fatal termination of which, was haslcriod by
tlio fatigue and sickness lie experienced in his late
voyage to America.
The Cadres war at the Ckpe of Good Hope is

however, therb had been a fall in the prices of

The Columbus Sentinel states, on what it consi
ders “ good authority,” that Ocn. Sanford has
resigned his seat in Congress. This lias been
expected, for some lime, as Gen. S. was disposed
to retain his Indian Agency. If it be so, wo shall
have four members of Congress to elect in Octo

PROSPECTUS
COVINI3TO.V HERALD;
A Weekly fifew 'paper, d voted to I‘oKtics
. IgrieulSure, Science, Literature,
and General Intelligence,
IN presenting lo the Public the Prospectus ol
n new Paper, we arc not dispose!! lo deviate
from the usual course pursued by those who soli
cit support in behalf of such an enterprise, and
shall therefore give a brief outline of the course wc
design to pursue in conducting our Paper. In a
Government like ours, where the people arc the
only sovereigns, and the whole supcrstucture ot
our institutions is founded upon public opinion, it
is of vital importance that the public mind should
be well informed and properly instructed, not only
in the morals and tho arts, but in the science ol
government, that tho people may at all times be
enabled to judge of “men and measures” accurate
ly ; inasmuch as tho perpetuity of our institutes,
and the preservation of the liberties of the people
mainly depends upon their virtue, intelligence
and patriotism, and the dissemination of sound po
litical knowledge among them. Holding the
principles set forth in the Virginia and Kentucky
Resolutions of 1798 and ’99, as the fundamental
doctrines of orir government, and which wore
adopted by the Slate Rights Party of Georgia at
their meeting in Millodgevillo iri 1833, as their
creed, wo shall support that Party, engaged as
they arc, “ on the side of Liberty,—the Conslitu
tion,—Union.”—But, whilst wc thus express our
decided prefererteo for tho doctrines held by the
State Rights Party, we will open onr columns lo
those who differ with us, as long as they keep
aloof from scurrility, which cannot, in any degree,
ho admitted from cither Party. Located in a
populous and agricultural section of the State, we
shall endeavor, as fur as possible, to render our
Paper useful and intere fling to the Merchant, Far
mer, and general reader. In fine, whatever will
ho productive of speedily rendering beneficial the
varied natural advantages of the Slate, elevating
the intellectual and moral condition of the people,
and promoting tho social enjoyment of the com
munity in which we live, shall meet our ardent
and humble support.

I, Beware of Deception !!!
f A TTEMPT.t have recently been rWlc by a
house in the city of New Yort, to practicA
1 one of the most unblushing impositions ever con
ceived hy the most designing.
It is known th, t “ Kowaml’a Tonic Mixture,”
8 after an extensile trial of its merits throughout
the country, has proved its usefulness to such uni
versal satisfaction, as ft thorough and radical cure
for Fever and Ague, as to have become identified
with the necessities of a great portion cf the inlra
, bitants of the United fbates.
' The unbounded popularity, therefore, that this
n medicine has secured lo itself, hits excited the. en-
U pidity of co.'lain nostrum venders of notoriety,who.
I t have dared lo mix up a trash, hoping to palm it off
upori tire ignorant and unwary, as lire genuine
“Rovvand’s Tonic Mixture.” For this purpose
they have substituted a fictitious name, in sound
and appearance very similar lo the true “ Row
nntl’s Tonic Mixture." 'The border of the enve
, lopo has been very closely imitated, and ono half
t of its reading matter purloined, whereby the copy
! tight of tho author lias heen infringed ; and have
I without authority and fraudulently made use of
the names and certificates of highly respectable,
individuals, who have testified to the value ftnd
excellence of tho true “ Rowand’a Tonic Mix
ture,” attaching the same to the base and spur ious
imitation. This trick cannot succeed amongst
the careful and intelligent part of the community
—hut is calculated to deceive to a dangerous ex
tent, the ignorant and tmcaulious. Legal pro
ceedings, however, will he immediately instituted
to punish the fraud, and at the same lime an up
’’ peal is earnestly msde lo all who may have an
opportunity lo expose the imposture, lo extend
their influence in order lo protect distress and
( suffering from such inhuman designs.
