needed to ensure a splendid victory in October, but
the presence at the polls, of all those who subscribe
to the creed of American Political Democracy. In
;finthenncc of this object, the Convention appointed
an Executive Committee for the purpose of aiding in

of two gentlemeri from each Congressional District,

of him as such. Whether it is expected Mr. Ber

ional District, and in execution of the task imposed
upon them, now take the liberty of addressing you.
In entering upon these duties, we assume no man
ner of authority; wo pretend neither to instruct or
to dictate; our business is simply, to advise with
our political friends in the District, and to do the la-
-for of promoting an interchange of views, feelings,
and opinions between them, for tho purpose of pro
ducing a concert of action, and a combination of in
tegral powers which will prove overwhelming to the
enemies of our political principles.
’To effect this purpose, no dear to the heart of eve
ry : Democrat, we respectfully recommend to our
friends to take the following measures, with energy
and despatch:
. , 1st. To hold public meetings and organize the
party in each county, by the appoiniment of a Cen
tral Committee of Vigilance, at or near the Court
House town, and a sub-committee in each district of
the county.
3d. That these Committees be chosen of men hav
ing influence and the confidence of the party: and
that it he a part of the duty of the Chairman of the
Central County. Committee, to correspond with the
umlersignod—stating the condition and prospects of
the cause, and giving such other information as it
may be useful to the general good to know, and in
order that wo may perforin the same office, and keep
the Central Committee at Milledgeville, advised of
tho state of the District.
3d. That the committees be constituted working
c ammittecs, and that their most assiduous labors be
directed to the composing of jealousies and disputes
for nomination to’ the Legislature and other offices,
and that the moral powor of tho Democratic party,
be every where-invoked to frown down, and to put
down, all attempts by aspiring individuals, to make
the OTOat anil common cause of —twwi,m
to their ambition. Tho idea cannot be too strongly
inculcated that tuj who does most for and makes the
largest sacrifices to tho cause, is the most deserving
of tho honors of the party; and that offices belong
(o the pcoplo to bestow and not to individuals to
claim. We dwell on this recommendation, because
we believe it most important. A restless or insubor
dinate ambition in a few men in a few strong Dem
ocratic counties, might prove fatal to the cause.
We therefore earnestly recommend the avoidance of
double'tickets, the hcali'ng of all strifes and jealous
ies, and tho presenting of one bold, undivided, and
triumphant front to the enemy.
With the committees to be appointed—with our
political friends generally, wo invite a correspon
dence, and candid ‘advice. We shall shnn no labor
that can be put upon us, and cheerfully yielding our
efforts to the work of answering letters—giving and
receiving counsel—it will not bo our fault if tho 3d
Congressional District do not prove the grave of
Federal IVhigism in the Ides of October. '

We have seen it stated that Mr. McAllister would
canvass thc'Siatc in person during the summer, and
address his fellpw-citizcns; and we observe that it
is proposed to hold mass meetings at various points,
eo that all may have an opportunity of bearing him.
Although we must admit that such a course will,
in the present instance, be advantageous to us, we
doubt its propriety as well as its ultimate policy
Mr. McAllister is an eloquent and effective speaker,
and should he be willing to travel through the State
and‘address die people, will doubtless add to the
number of his supporters. Bnt it must be remem-
l>cred, that should bo do so, a precedent will be es
tablished, which future candidates will be constrain
ed to follow,' however inconvenient it may be.—
This will involve thq necessity of always selecting
orators as our candidates, to yhe exclusion of men
who 'are not distinguished as speakers, but who may
possess administrative and business talents of a
high order. It may deter men, too, from becoming
candidates, who have every qualification to appear
advantageously before the people, bat who are un
willing to boar the burthen and fatigue of travelling
through the State. And should a Governor be a
candidate for re-election, it will compel him to leave
tho seat of Government, and perhaps neglect his
official duties.
. Besides, we are opposed to mass meetings under
ordinary circumstances. The Democrats of Geor
gia were Dover disposed to engage in them, bnt they
were forced by the Whigs to resort to them at the
last election in self defence. We then satisfied our
opponents that we eonld beat them on their own
ground, and we think they will not be sqyfa— to

So far, this body have not moved farther than to
organize, &c. The chair was taken by the Hon.
C. B. Strong, and Mr. J. B. Thwcatt of Baldwin,
with Mr. Chapman of tho Savannah Republican,
were appointed secretaries pro tern. The President
of the Convention was appointed on the nomination
of the Hon. J. M. Berrien, who, in a short but im
pressive speech, tendered to the unanimous accept
ance of tho Convention, Gen. D. L. Clinch. lie
was, accordingly, declared unanimously chosen,
amidst thundering applause by the thumping of the
floor with feet and sticks, &c. A committee of 3
was then appointed to conduct him to the chair,
which was accordingly done. His speech in ac
cepting the office too brief for nbreviation, will, we
presume, be published with their proceeding. On
motion of Mr. Jenkins of Richmond—the two gen
tlemen named at the desk, with Mr. Pierce, of this
place, were appointed secretaries.
On motion of tho Hon. Thoe. Stocks, a committee
of two from each Judicial Circuit were appointed by
the Chair, to report what action should be had by
the convention.
Tho Convention then adjourned, to meet again at
2 o’clock, P. M.

Tho Convention met at 2 o’clock. The commit
tee reported several resolutions, one approving Gov.
Crawford’s administration and nominating him
unauiinoDsly for re-election; another resolving that
be hail fixed up the Penitentiary very well, and that
it is a money making concern; that the Central
Bank bills ought to be at par and should never bo
depreciated, and that the State debt ought to be
paid, and liiat Gov. Crawford has done well in refer
ence to all these matters, which were unanimously
adopted. Without having an opportunity of hear
ing distinctly these Resolutions, wo must omit at
tempting to giro them fully or in substanco as pis
sed, hoping to have them in print soon. A commit
tee was appointed to wait upon the Governor, to in
form him of liis nomination. Another composed of
three from each Judicial Circuit, to be called the

appointed to prepare an address to tho people. The

for the honor conferred, assured them that he «to.,.iA

Honors in Bemory of Geu. Jackson.
From every part of the country wo hear of tlie'te-
spect shown to the memory of this great and illus
trious patriot. Party animosities on this occasion,
have been laid aside, and all parties seem to vie with
each other in doing honor to one of America’s great
est Patriots, Statesmen and Generals—each Ameri
can seemed to consider his fame as belonging to tlie
whole nation, and to claim a share as his own indi
vidual inheritance. 1 All seemed willing to acknow
ledge his great services and to bury all the hard
feelings they bad ever cherished towards him, in tho
grave of the departed hero.
To these general remarks, there are two or threo
exceptions. The Boston Atlas and tho New York
Tribune Itave opened tlie bitter fountains of their
malice upon the memory of the venerable patriot.—
Against their assaults death affords no protection—
the grave no resting place. But their poisoned ar
row havo ceased to wound. The whole country
have learned to appreciate the value of those men,
who have long been the vilifiers of tho institutions of
our own country, and the champions and apologists
of oar enemies; and because Gen. Jackson defend
ed the one, and defeated tho other, they, never can
forgive him.. , j,,..'..

2nd Regiment of U. 8. Dragoons under Col. Twiggs,
has also received orders to proceed to the Rio
Grande by land. From the news received from
Mexico' by Sunday night’s mail, this appears to be a
very necessary and well-timed movement

Done Brown.
Aaron V. Brown, tho present democratic candi
date for governor of Tennossee, is winning laurels
wherever he goes. Good at argument, good at elo
quence, good at wit, he does the thing Brown on all
occasions. Here is a sketch from the Jackson Re
publican, which, by the by, is every inch an old
hickory in itself ^-Southern (Mi.) Reformer.
Mr. Brown, who was the last speaker, in conclu
ding his argument, said hie great object had been to
draw Mr. Foster back to his old republican princi
ples—if be foiled, all he could ray was, in the lan
guage of scripture, “Ephraim la joined to his idols,
let him alone”—and be hoped on the 7th of August
[election day] the people would let him alone.
Mr. Foster retorted that there waa another pas
sage of scripture, in which ..certain man by the
name of Aaron was mentioned, who, while Mosee
ascended the mount to receive the law af God, built
a golden calf and worshipped it, and that it was a
fot calf—(pointing to Mr. Brown.)
Mr. Brown replied that such was the foet; that
Aaron did build a calf; bnt that was —*» of gold,
(a sort of mint drop) whereas he, Mr. Foster, had
nndo hit god of Clay,
After the applause Which followed this remark of
Mr. Brown’s had somewhat subsided, Mr. Foster
replied, his Clay god was formed la the image of his
Cits for that our Creator nude Adam of day, and
foot it would hare been much better had Aaron
made Us golden calf of Clay.
Mfaig Sympathy.
The Whigs, have suddenly become the friends
and admirers of Judge Warner. They say be has
been cheated, abused and defrauded, and if they don’t
make a martyr of him,-it will not bo their fault—
Well might the Judge exclaim with one of old—
“ What great erij have I done, that wicked men
should praise me t” But why should the Whigs so
suddenly hare beconie the champions of Judge War
ner? Heretofore, we believe, he has not been a
favorite with that party. It is only since the Dem
ocratic Convention nominated Mr. McAllister, and
postponed the claims of Judge Warner to a future
period, that the sympathies of many of the Whigs
have been awakened in so wonderful a manner, and
they have come forth as tho defenders of Judge
Warner’s rights. jj.‘
Something analogous to this, waa their great sym
pathy for Mr. Von Buren. Before the nomination
