The democratic party entered the contest with, apparently, considerable advantages oteriia opponents; they yere but apparent und not .real, . One. of . Uidse .advantages Was (fictriumph we obtained last October and'Noverober; but i lie uttest ions at issue then and at the recent elections were not of a similar character. The question l/ten was national, and the ouestion at the late election was local. If the question had . been, at this recent election, national, the democratic party would certainly have been again triumphant, as the! same party will always be triumphant when national qu*s- tions’arc at issue, anti for the best of reasons, because the general mass of tli j people of Georgia are essentially democratic, ortho dox in their republican doctrines. Our op ponents will have to admit the correctness this position, us I admit, and my* fellow democrats will have to admit, that pn local questions our opponents have had, and still have, some advantage over us. Ilcnce the result of the recent election for Governor, which most conclusively demonstrates the correctness of the position assumed by me. If at the recent elect ion for Governor, nni ion- al politics had been at issue, Mr. Crawford with all his personal popularity, and his reputation fora faithful discharge of his du ty as chief magistrate of Georgia, would have been defeated l>y a large majority.— His political friends will have to admit an other position assumed by titc, because the result of the election for "Senators and Rep resentatives to the legislature, is an unde niable proof of the opinion already express- ed, that the people of Georgia arc essential ly democratic. Out, I may lie asked, how do you make that oat, when there will prob ably' he a whig majority in the House, more than enough to overcome the prob able democratic majority in the Senate 1 It is notorious (hat tjic whig*, in 1843, or ganized the Senatorial’ Districts tt> suit ihctn- ieltfes ; that, by their organization of the Senate, they were to succeed in twenty-nine oat of forty seven districts. Their calcula* tion was fallacious; the result of the elec tions in October and November last proved dial the whigs deceived themselves ; and the result of the recent election proved also, that, when the voters of Georgia arc not biassed by local questions, bill arc governed by general principles, the majority wii! ho found on the side of the democratic party : hence the probable majority the democrats will have in the Senate, ami hence the ma jority they would have had iu the House, if they had not pursued (he fatal policy of running opposing candidates from ilicir own ranks in several counties which gave large democratic majorities for Governor and Sen ator. The whigs will not have more than two, three, four, or five majority in the House, as we have not as yet received nil the returns in order to ascertain the exact majority ** i-i- also .11 v profit by their experience in protecting our own po- ment U lilical interests at borne. In abort, let us organize in county contentions throughout the State of Tex as; let us naminato the candidates: thst-we will support as Senators and Representatives of-the State Legislature; let ns send delegates to a State Convention, clotbed with authority to nominate can didates for our Governor, and take such other mea sures as they may deem proper tnd expedient for the best interests and welfare of the party.” From the Washington Union. From a file of Mexican papers of late dates, too numerous to bo called more extensively st present, the following hasty abstract has been made. It is evident from the contents of tliese papers, that the Mexicans are preparing for war after their own fashion, but with a steady determination which amply justifies all the preparations which have been made by our government They speak of the con test as inevitable, and as one which threatens tbeir national existence.

The writer for the Courier says, that in stating'UiaC Gdh, Brisbane, formerly 'Engi- ditional security to the rights of tho citizen, sorely none will object to its establishment.-' If on thc coo- Uary, it shall be shown to be deliterious to the inter ests of the people, no one will desire it We give briefly some of our reasons for believing can Congress, and says that when General Almonte, I necr.aud subdcqffiffilly President. ortho Ocmulgco by direction of Santa Ana, notified onr Government j &. Flint Rail Road Co., had undertaken that work tliat Mexico would consider the adoption by Con gress of a resolution to annex Texas as tantamount to a declaration of war, Santa Ana was in fact, in the exercise of all tho powers of government execu tive and legislative, and was competent not only to proclaim war, but to declare it; and tliat the contin gency having arisen, war is declared, and actually exists. A circular from tlio Treasury Department of Mex ico, dated August 20, requires the governors of the several de|iartmCDts to establish juntas or commit tees for soliciting and receiving donations of money or other articles for tho purpose of assisting the go vernment in the prosecution of the war against the United States. Tho revolt of a part of the army, nndcr tho com mand of Gen. Parades, is the subject of considerable discussion. The Siglo Diez y Muere of the 8th of September contains an address signed by the officers of the troops concerned in the movement, in whicli they warmly deiend themselves from what they call the calumnious accusation of mutiny, and state that what they did was the result of actual and unavoid able necessity, and not from any indisposition to ad vance towards tlio cnciny. The same troops, they say, iiad often marched without bread or shoes; hut it did not follow from tliat, that it was their duty to do so in all cases j and in the present case, nothing would have been gained to thoir country by their marching, destitute and dispirited, to meet a power ful foe. Tho following curious specimen of bombast is from a Tampico paper: “ Why are not onr valiant troops battling with these Yankcs drunk with wisky ami raw meat, who would let themselves be killed like hogs 7 Why have not the enemy’s advance troops (icrishcd by tlio swords ami lances of our in vincible veterans of the North 7 Why should they lie permitted to Cattily themselves, in order tliat in cold blood, and so ingloriously, with their fifteen . iiad not the fatal policy alluded I chambered rifles, they may make us purchase victo- to bcen'pursued, Pulaski would have return- rie* dearly?” cd a democratic Representative.*, as well its . 8‘gto Din y None of the 11th of Soptcm- b Representative.*, Bulls, Jasper, Walker, ami, perhaps, some other counties. If those four counties had returned democratic Representatives, the democratic party would have had a ma jori ty in the House as well as in the Senate.— The result, as it is, and will be, as I believe, will show that (he whigs will have a ma jority in the legislature on joint ballot n- gainst the vote of a majority’of the people of Georgia. I admit that (he majority of the voles for Governor Crawford, would seem to lie more fa'vorablc to the whig party ; but this ma jority will have been given under circum- elances which cannot he ascribed to the popularity of that party in Georgia. The result of this election shows that the people were gencraliy satisfied with the local ad- inimstration of that gentleman; but it docs not show that this people intended to sanc tion the - principles df a national character entertained by nim, If the; people of Geor gia intended to approve,by their rotes, the political principles of Governor Crawford, how conics it, that the democrats will have a majority in the Senate ? How comes it, that the votes cast in the forty seven sena torial districts, will show an aggregate dem ocratic majeritv of all the voles given in, while there wifi be a whig majority for Gov ernor ? I am satisfied from a comparison I made of the votes given in for Senators and Governor, in many counties of the State, that if the returns of the votes given in for Senators arc published, the aggregate will show a democratic majority in the State. If this be tlie case, can the result of the recent elections be considered ns a whig triumph ?. Certainly not. If it be not a whig triumph, what is it then 1 Nothing more nor less than a triumph of Governoi Crawford, individually, because had those citizens who voted for democratic Senators, voted for the democratic candidate for gov ernor, Governor Crawford would have been defeated. G. Democracy la Texas. The democrats of Texas are organizing throughout the State, to act with their political brethren here. A great public meeting baa been held at Galveston, and a permanent Committee appointed. We ex- tract the (bllowhig'fioai their address in the Gal ves- tonows: v “ We find die' several State* of the Union mnch distracted by the division of political, parties. We find tte.Wiyf party distracted, and tent aaunder by itodivcoidant .dements, a -part aaanriating them- sdvarWitk the abothiooista, and circulating pledges agaihstthis onr country from onr enemies, and oth er pledge* subversive of tbeir own constitution and government. Let us remember that Texa* has been annexed to tho United States, by the votes of the dc- mocracy of that country, and that we are bound in doty, as well as from principle, to stand by the par ty that has fought the political campaign far onr fa vor. . ’ - Leva* rally-to the support cf our friends la our her, speaking of the arrival of a courier from Mata moras with the news of the advance of our troops says: “ Such intelligence proves that there is no men, and that politics were not involved in the result, longer a moment to bo lost, and that the patriotism Mjiny democrats vrero deccivcd by these assurances, and honor of the Mexicans imperiously require that the government and people should devote all their “ with more zeal than ability”—ho did not mean a want of mental capacity, but a want of money, or the means to cany on the work. lie says also, that in stating that “ the money heretofore appropriated (for improving Flint River) has been squandered with out doing any good, and this will be the case again, unless the Legishtthrc refrin the money in the Trea sury until the workhas been performed under the supcriutence of sqnyi good practical Engineer”— he “ intended to assert that the money heretofore appropriated had Vtitfi lavishly expended upon the river by men unacquainted with the business, and to prevent a similar? error, it would be necessary to employ a £«sd piact jjjtl Engineer to direct the work hereafter.” i„Wq l^e, that such assertions will al ways he accomparied; with similar explanations— they are necessary,^ a proper understanding of the language. According to the rule of interpretation laid down, if weakest'that the present writer for the Courier, had undertaken the conduct of tliat paper “ with more zeal thtrti ability,” we should be under stood to say that he lacked the money or other means to carry it on. If we should say that he has “ squan dered liis money without doing any good," we should be understood to sly*that he had expended it lavish ly upon proper objqqts, and that he was unacquain ted with the business in which he 1 was engaged We must live aml fcarn.

But look at the columns of that paper since (lie.result is known. .The “same old Coon” has aomc back—tliat japer has put forth the same strains -Of-sanitation, tlie same chaste and emblematic 'wood jcjts. -and the same shoots of triumph that weroiuped by'the Whigs in the “Hard Cider” and “ Coo»"8k!n” campaign. Wo hear no more now the election is over, that politics are not involved in the contest; but it is claimed as a po litical victory. Those democrats who were deceiv ed by tlie whig pnjss before the election, should look at some of their papers now. They will see that whig profession^ before and after tho election arc very diflerent tiling*. Those who were duped to vote for any of th&whig candidates by the asser tions tliat politics were not involved in the contest, should look at the. Savannah Republican and learn wisdom for the futnlre. their courage and constancy, grasping race have thrown themselves upon our territory, and dare to flatter themselves that wo will not defend the patrimony which our fathers conquer ed with their blood.

Democrats of Florida, like time of Georgia, thought there was no danger, and stayed at home on the day of the elec tion, and let the whigs carry it -their pwn way.— The Florida papers say Mr. Cabell is probably elec ted. From the -following extract of too Star, (a neutral paper) it appears that it was the “policy” of the whigs in Florida, as well as Georgia, “ to oper ate privately.” ‘-The whig party Kps pkrtially succeeded, because it has operated witheut permitting toe hand, which impelled toe movement to be seen. And it therefore had the means of combining influence*, and elements of power, which wprg also unseen, and' unappre ciated.”' . * J ‘2' . The editor of the,tk>mmereial Advertiser “halls return of Georgia iuito the whig ranks.” He Legislature shall establish such a Conrt. 2d. It will diminish litigation, by settling contro verted principles and questions of law, which ore now undecided, or are decided variously in diflerent Circuits, the very uncertainty of which now fills our courts with harassing law suits, benefiting none but tlie lawyers and imposing a heavy tax upon par* tics, jurors and witnesses, in money and time. It is too uncertainty of the law which causes litigation. Tho decision of a Supreme Court would make toe law. certain and uniform throughout the State, whereas at present, each Judge being supreme in his own Circuit, there is no uniformity—what is decided to bo law in one Circuit, is frequently deci ded to be contrary to law in another Circuit. 3d. It will form a most importaut security to the rights of the people against too errors, prejudices, or corruptions of too judiciary. At present, if a Cir cuit Judge decides a case contrary to law and jus tice, there is no appeal or remedy. How many honest men have been deprived of their hard-earned property:—how many orphans and widows have had their estates swept from them, leaving them penni less upon the world, by toe errors of a Court, which mightliave been corrected under a proper judiciary system. We have known important eases brought and gained under a decision of one Judge, whicli were lost under a different decision of his suc cessor upon an appeal. Under such a judicial system there is no reliance to be placed in law, nor is there the proper security for liberty or property. 4th. We believe tliat the establishment of such a tribunal would tend to increase the industry and de- vclopc the resources of tlio state, by introducing capital from abroad, which has heretofore been with held from a want of confidence in the stability and correct administration of toe laws. One ol the many evidences of a necessity fora Supreme Court for the Correction df Errors, occur red during tlio last week’s session of Randolph coun ty Superior Court, in tho progress of too trial of Chapman for manslaughter. Originally, • by the Common Law, tlio whole panncl of forty-eight jurors, from which twelve men were to be selected to try a criminal (for tlio higher grades of crime) might be chalenged by tlio State, with or without cause shown. They could be chalenged by th6 prisoner only for cause shown—incapacity prejudice, &c. By too statute of 1817, toe prisoner was allowed the addi tional privilege of pcreftiptory chalcngcs without showing causes or assigning reasons. By the stat ute of 1833, the prisoner was allowed twenty per emptory chalengcs, and the State ten. In the to which we allude,toe call of the array of forty- eight was commenced for the purpose of selecting a jury to try the prisoner. The first on the list be ing called, was objected to by too Solicitor, under the Common Law privilege of the State to object to the-whole, or any part of tlio array. Hines Holt, Esq. , Attorney lor defendant, objected that toe Com mon Law privilego of the State to. challenge too whole array of jurors had been virtually repealed by toe statute of 1833, which substituted, instead of adding, ten peremptory chalenges, and that such was tho practice in other Circuits. J udgo Warren over ruled the objection, stating, 1st. That the practice in this Circqjt had been uniformly such as was now being pursued. 2d. That his construction of the law was that the Legislature intended to give the State ten peremptory challenges in addition to the Common Law-privilege of objection, for the purpose ofensuring the administration of justice. 3d. That the Common Law privilege was not a chalengc in fact, as too samo jurors must bo returned to too pris oner for selection, provided toe jury had not been agreed upon when tho forty-eight Iiad been passed Thus wo find that in the most important of all trials—thoso which affect the life and liberty of the citizen—the citizens of different Judicial Circuits are governed by diflerent constructions and diflerent administrations of the same law. our ancestors tsoght os, the laws which we hsve «bonld recoHeet ^jit_wjps asserted by the whig established, and that nationality which of right be- press in Gee4em.jfiqffi. tlio seaboard to .the mama- '°”8**?.“*•, , , ' itains,beforetlfojriqmnithatthiswas hot.a port* My friends! your mission has also another ob- -—j—. . - 3 ject—that of maintaining order and peace, support- 1 ing society in its safeguards, and the citizen in all Look ont (or Cdffittcrteil Half Es|t«. liis rights.

It will bo recollected that Mr. Whitney is ex amining s route for a rail rood from Lake Michigan to the Pacific Ocean. He has progressed as tar as toe Missouri River. He speaks in raptures of the country between lake Michigan and toe Missouri. The soil of this vast country is also as rich a»; can be; in the whole distance 1 did not 9ce one t acre of useless or bad land; the farmer will w*2 but to plough, plant and gather liis crops.
