Polk. Wo were not nt tlto meeting of Friday, or wo •hould certainly have opposed n portion of the pro ceedings, against which we now protest. Perfectly willing that nil respect and hospitality should be tendered to tho President elect, wo can- «a»t>n. nsc nt to recognise him as “tho exponent of ••'"principles,” nor to liuil in the success of tho Democratic party, "the triumph of tho great prin ciples fur which South Carolina lias contended.” Had John C. Calhoun, himself, tho pledged champion and unknowledgod exponent of our prin ciples, been President elect, iusteud of Mr. Polk, it would have only been an indication, a premise of such triumph: but with Mr. Polk as President elect, who has hccu electionecied fur hero on free trade principles—and in Pennsylvania, under countenance of his own letter to Mr- Kune, on pro. ttciweprinciples; with wlmt conscience or truth can waclaiin to celebrate, in his elevalion,tho triumph of our cause, unless we mean thus virtually to pro. claim our desertion of that enuso ? At the last session of Congress, both Whigs and Democrats voted enmassc for a Resolution embo dying all the plodgos given by the previous Demo cratic Convention at Baltimore—and the subse quent action of both parties, on the subject matters of those pledges, repeatedly violating ail, showed us, if we were not fools, that those plodgos wore mero wind—and worth nothing. The last Baltimore Convention repeated llioso pledges, nnd the very first notion of the present Congress breaks them—the Democrats joining in the violation. Even then, if Mr. Polk prove true to the South, whet can we do? Where is our triumph 1 What is our guaranty? Do we love to ho cheated ? We would not prejudge Mr. Polk : but there fiends his letter to Kane ! and, wo blush to soy it, the equivocating sentence of it about “equal pro tection to all the interests &c.” was the only senti ment of his that could be selected to bo blazoned under his name upon a banner in the torch light pro. cession through Charleston !! In the name of Gud ! if we aro to submit, let it be in silence, if not remonstrating—if not resist ing ; but at least not making bondago more vile by singing pscans and hallelujahs to deludors and op. pressors. As to tho gentleman, Mr. Pinc kney, who intro duced the Resolutions on Friday, we have none but kindly feelings towards him, though politically «re difler very, very widely. While Mr. Van Bu. ren was in the fluid, he championed himself strenu- ously against all comers ; nnd, since Mr. Van I3a- ren was shelved, he has viet armis, for Mr. Polk, who, we trust, will prove as graceful as himself, and remember him for it. But we trust that there is yet to be found in Car olina n party, or men, who go for no men or names in preference to her rights, or to tho forgetfulness of the paramount claims—who will ho neither Van Bureniles, Clayites,Polkites,'or even Calhouniles— when here stands their Stole—and (here stand her plunderers and rovilers—and her rigiits unnsserted, iter wrongs unredressed, her insults uunvenged. J. A. S. PLANT LESS COTTON. Every arrival brings worse nows. On the other side of the water, it is “a decline of an eighth," or a “ decline of a fourth, since our lastand while it seems that the depression is as low ns it can possibly be, still every Irosh arrival tolls that the English spinner is more than well supplied with our staple, and that he refuses to purciiaso but at a decline. For Georgians, this is in deed any thing else than “glad tidings.” Lot them go on to plant this year, as they did last, and tho pitiful price of 4 cents per pound fur Cotton, will not be again realized ! What then is to bo done J Plant less, plant less ! Reduce your crops ot Cotton, Farmors all, and you may be paid a higher price for it next fall. If you do not, in all human probability you will hardly got more than 2 or 3 cents for it. This will not pay you for the labor of production: It will bo far better for you to raise corn and wheat, and improve your land and stuck. [FOR THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.j WIIO CAN TRUST THE DEMOCRACY. Before the Presidential election, tho Democracy hedged llicinselvcs, that they were opposed tnthcabo- itiomsts, and would stand by tlie South, on the sub ject of slavery. They told us ilio South was in danger, ' T llio Whigs succeeded ; the people believed them and lected them. So soon as the election was ovor, and so soon ns they met in Congress, they rejiealed the rule prohibit ing the reception ofabulition petitions ; received them, and referred them to a committee to report upon ; ami now, theso infiimou* firebrands which wore kept out of Congress by the W bigs aro received by the Democrats and acted upon. The Democrats pledged themselves to the people, that they were opposed to altering tho Constitution. As soon as tho election was over, and Congress met, Mr. Droingoole, a Democrat, was the first to propose a res olution altering the constitution. The Democrats pledged themselves to take the duty they found that the subject hud the heart pluced on off of iron. Mr." Phoenix,." Wliigi^ offerod a"bilTto *1 lllu right side of tlm breast; and all the organs If you owe money, the best and wisest course for you to pursue will bo to sell property and pay, rather than to plant largely in Cotton expecting to realize therefrom enough to pay your debls. “Cotton is down,” and will lay down, so long as there is so groat a superabun dance of it made, as there has been for three years past. The European markets are crowded with it. Spinners have, some of them, more than aycar's supply already purchased, and many of them arc provided for, for a length of time, far beyond their provision at any former period. With these facts before you, will you not re solve to plant less, plant less ! Have you not in your neighborhood a fine stream affording water power for a Mill or a Manufactory 1 li you have, make an effort to build, either a mill to grind corn and wheat, or con. slrucc a manufactory, and set tho spindle in motion. If not this, plant more wheat—flour will command money as well as Cotlon. Plant more corn, and raise hogs— improve your stock of all kinds—manure your lands, and thus raise tho value of them. In short, do any thing that affords tho least chance for profit, but PLANT LESS COTTON! make Railroad iron free of duly, thus commencing tho work of reduction ; on motion of a democrat, the bill was rejected by a majority of four to one. The Democrats pledged themselves to take the tax off ot salt. As soon as Congress met a resolution was offered, “that the committee of Ways and Afcans bo intruded to report a bill to repeal the duty on salt uid tho democratic House of Representatives, with a majority of (it) democrats, rejected tho resolution by a largo majority. Tlie democrats pledged themselves that they woro pposed to the distribution of the public lauds among the States ; that they were in favor of letting tho mo ney go into the Treasury to support the government, and reduce the Tariff. As soon as the election was over, and as soon as Con gress inet, Mr. Ficklin, a democrat, gave notice that lie- should introduce a bill “to provide for disclosing of the public lands, to the Slates in which they lie." Mr. Houston, another democrat, gave notice that he shuuld introduce a bill "to cede to the Stale of Alabama the public lands in that Slate, fur the purposes of cducu- TIIANKSC.IVING DAY. The Proclamation of Governor Crawford, setting apart Thursday, tho I3lh day of February next, as a day of Thanksgvinq and Prayer, will be found another part of to-day’s paper. In the language of the Proclamation, it is requested, “ that all religious do nominations in the State, will, on that day, meet at tho usual places of worship, and supplicate the Groat Ru ler of tho Universe, that Ills blessings may be continued upon our beloved land.” Tho response to this request of the Governor—sanctioned as it is,by “time honored custom” in most States of tho Union, as well as by a people who know and feel their dependence upon the Most High—will be creditable to the character of Gcor- gians, in whatever aspect it is viewed. Wo aro pleased too, to see, that the first official act of the Executive, on tlie _/Irst day of the present year, is ono so well cal eulated to direct the attention of the reflecting from the “ afflictions that humble,” from the "blessings that cn liven” man, to that source from whence they all sprui; — in a word, we are rejoiced to see that His Excel, lency’s first official act, on l\\e first day of tho present year, is one so well calculated to direct tho thoughts of all, from Earth to Heaven. Let, then, the day set apart, he observed by our peoplo as requested, and let not ono fail to regard it, in truth and sincerity, as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer ! Anti-Rent movement—Most melancholy Event. Hudson, Dec. 18. The Anti.Rent meeting at Cluveraclt, to-day, has terminated in a most melancholy manner. It was held ut villago called “Sniokey Hollow.” A man from Hillsdale wus there as a spectator, named Ri- zenburgh. He had spoken ugainst the proceedings, os is said, and wus required by one of tlm Indians to cry “down with the rent.” He refused, nnd the Indian presented a pistol and repeated tlm demand. Upon the second refusal, the Indian shot him thro’ the body, and he expired immediately. The In dians thereupon broke up their meeting and dis persed. These are the facts as reported by those returning from tho meeting. P. S. 1 open this to say that “Big Thunder” and two i,fliis associate Indians, have been arrested, ere in jail, Tlm death of R. is claimed to have been accidental. T#atft*«tvnw.—Proclamation, for tfc# aberrance of thie festival on the days mentioned, have been issued in tlie following State* and Cities: Kentucky South Carolina Now Hampshire City uf Charleston City of Savannah Connecticut Massachusetts Rhode IsIhihI Michigan Missouri Illinois Vermont Maine New York New Jersey Maryland Oltii Sept. 28 Oct. a Nov. 14 Nov. 14 Nov, 21 Nov. 28 Nov. 28 Nov. 28 Nov. 28 Nuv. 28 Nov. 28 Dec. 5 Deo. 5 Dec. 12 Dec. 12 Dec. 12 Doc. 19 We have seen no appointments for Georgia and In •liana, in both which Suites it was celebrated last year. On tho other hand, we find no record of the celebration of this festival last year in cither South Carolina or Kentucky, botli of which States aro included in the nbovn table. In South Carolina, Ituwever, it was duly proclaimed and observed in 1812.—Jour, of Cum, A Queer Man.—The Unite i Suites Guzotto ex tracts from a French paper the following singular account:— In tlm college of Santa Carlos, in Madrid, is a dissectiug room to which students resort to study anatomy. 'J im body of one who hud just died in the hospital wus brought. The pupils arrived with their scalpels a-,d commenced tlto work of dissec lion, What wus their astonishment to find tiiut the deceased had no heart ! On a closer examination, which are usually found in tlm right, were found in ilm left side, lie seemed to have been the oppo. site of all his fellow men—a living and walking un (ilhesis. The professors, in their turn, examined tho sub ject.itnd all appearances justified the observations uf the students. This is the fourth or fifth instance if the kind recorded in tlm anatouiicul annuls of the liuiimn species Mr, Charles J. Ingorsoll, another democrat, prosent- od a petition "infavor of appropriating the public lands for the gradual abolition if slavery in the United Slates ami Territories, and for compensating citizens for their slaves." Tlm Democrats, belure the election, wore opposed to tho hard-money subtreaaury—now, as soon as tho elec tion is over, and they get to Congress, they pass tho measure, and thus pour down upon the country this hateful and odious measure, one which they dared not advocate before tlm people. Reader—whether Whig or Democrat, can you trust the democracy ? Do you believe any thing that these democrats tell you! They are one thing before the election, and another after it. Read over tins article again, and ask yourself, if the democrats did not tell you before the election, that the South was in danger from the Whigs ) What do you think of them now, when they have joined the abolitionists, and done tho very thing they charged against tho Wltigs. Did they not tell you before the election that the constitutioii ought not to bo altered ? Did they not tell you before tho election, that the public lands ought not to be giv en to the States ? Did they not tell you, that they were opposed to taking tho proceeds of the public lands, and freeing our negroes with the money 1 Did they not toll you, that they were in favor of taking tho tax off of iron and salt ! Now, after the election, when they have no more favors to ask, what do you think of the democracy, when they do every thing which they condemned, and support every thing which they oppos ed ! Will you trust them again! Will you bolievo any thing they tell you 1 Reflect upon those false promises, and tell to your own consciences whether you will again trust tho De mocracy ? O. K.

By the Prospectus of this agricultural gazette pub lished in Augusta, Georgia, it will be perceived it is to be edited fur the future by James Camak, Esq. This gentleman was long the distinguished Editor of the Georgia Journal, and amassed in a few years, by its judicious conduct an handsome fortune. Ilav' ing retired somo ten years since from politics, lie has wisely given the interval, as we learn, to the tranquil enjoyments of Hurliculttiro—and making a multitude of experiments, having a direct and intimate relation to Agriculture. If eminent ability—employing tlie re sources which modern scicnco has placed at his com mand , and all under the direction of the soundest, clearest judgment (for which Mr. Camak was always remarkably distinguished)—can inspire confidence in our people — to pursue their own true interests, we be seech them to give heed to tlie counsels of one, who is laboring for their good and not thoir money. Tho small nrice, one dollar per annum, in advance, for which it is published, goes to the printer. We cannot forbear to say that we learn front a gentleman of this city, who is II acquainted with tho collection of fruits in Mr. Cant alt’s garden at Athens—and who has a passion himself for Horticulture, that tho collection is tho largest and best in Georgia-, embracing nearly every foreign variety ofthe Grape, Pear, Peach, Cherry, Plum, Apricot, Nectarine Fig, &.C,, of decided excellence, mentioned in tho cata. loguea of Prince of Long Island, tho Winship* near Boston, or the Landrilhs of Philadelphia ; and that Mr. Camak has for a longtime past been distributing cut. tinga amongst his many friends imbued with a taate similar to Ida own. Tlto Southern Cultivator ought to be in the bouse and cabin of every planter and farm er iu UctYgia. (CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CHARLESTON COURIER.J Washington Dec. 30. Tlto Senate was in session but a Bhorttimu today- Mr Sevier, who had but recently arrived here, took the opportunity to announce tlie death of his late colleague-, Mr. Fulton, who died during the recess. The Senate adjourned in testimony of respect for the memory of the deceased. In tho House there was some discussion upon the proposition of Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, to direct the pre paration of Maps lor the use uf tlto House, represent, ing tlie western boundary of the United States, and tho territory contiguous thereto. Tho order -vas finally passed. Mr. Cross, of Arkansas, pronounced an eulogy cm the deceased Senator from Arkansas, and tlto Huuee then adjourned. The subject of the annexation of Texas has become the prevailing topic here. The democratic members ofthe House mot in caucus Saturday night, and after due consultation, appointed a Committee to prepare a plan for the action of the House on this subject. That Committee were instructed to report on Thursday. I havo since understood that a majority of the Committee are in favor of Mr. McDuf fie's project, that is, taking the late treaty of annexa tion as Lite basis of any joint resolution or bill tor tlie purpose. It is very probable that whatever scheme the Com. nnltee tnay prepare will be adopted by a majority of the House. The Senate will not concur in any project.— If it discard tlie treaty it will have the opposition of the South Carolina Senators, as it is believed here. If it adopt the treaty Mr. Benton and bis friends will op pose it. The new mail arrangement, which will gu into oper ation on the lstof January, will make your Northern mail nineteen liuure later. That is what I learn at the Department. The schedule represents it as twenty- four hours later, but there is increased expedition on a portion of the route, I learn that Mr. Holmes, and other members from tlto South disapprove uf tho new arrangement, and will bring tlie subject before the House.

WENTWORTH, formerly ii . of Mr. Childs of Millcdgeville, (as Wate Is a Portrait a Picture ? — We boo that a trial is £oing on before the Chancellor of England, to settle the question whether a portrait is a picture. It was an appeal from the decision of tlie Vice Chancellor of England, deciding that a full length picture of the great Duke o! JSchomberg, painted by Sir G. Kneller, now hung up in the great Hall of llornby Castle, tho seat of the Duke of Leeds, was to be considered a por trait, and not a picture, the effect of which decision would be, that it would become, under the late Duke of Leeds, the property of his son-in-law, Mr. Walter SackviHe Fox, and not that of tho present Duke ; and, consequently, if tho decision bo affirmed, Hornby Cas tle will bo deprived of ono of its greatest ornaments.
