The proceeding* of the last legislature being truly set before the people, nothing more will bo required to etimulalo and lead to thn adoption of such organizations as will nicks iu action united, harmonious and successful. Fearing there may be divisions in nominating Sena tors, I propose the following p'an lor each District- — Lot the county having the largest number of Whuff votes bo entitled to the first nomination, and then let it continue regular on from one county lo the other.

At id another objection might arise or occur—a county, w o will say, having two hundred votes, would bo ontith'd to tho same number of delegates as a county having eight hundred. 1 would also recommend the nomination of our ablo.it and most experienced men. Important issues are stiJI before tho people, and the next Legislature may defeat the measures of the Whig party by placing or giving the power to the Democrats. Under these circum stances, I t every Whig discharge his whole duty, not only to himself, but lo the cause. A WHIG. Connecticut Election. The W'liigs have elected their Governor byaplu. I n | ily 0 f 3000 or 3500 over tho Democratic candi- date—and have elected a majority of eleven or twelve in the Senate and about 30 in tlio Ilouso of Uep- resentatives of the Legislature. They have also elected all their members to Congress. At the elec- i before this, the Democrats elected every Repre- i tentative to Congress, pr\Ve learn from the Savannah papers, that, recent ly, while His Excellency, Governor Crawford, was in'that city, on official business, in compliment to him, the volunteer companies, comprising the Georgia Urn- uri, Liout. Rilers; the Chatham Artillery, Capt. Ste. phene; th e Savannah Volunteer Guards, Capt. Bowen; tho Irish Jasper Greens, Lieut. Jackson ; and the l’hcc- sir Riflemen, Capt. Mills, under command of Col. Knapp, were paraded and passed in review before His Excellency, as Commander-In-Chief. 1 be Savannah papers, referring to this compliment to His Excellency, make tho following remarks. The Georgian says, “tho Battalion was formed oil the “Bay, under command of Lieut. Colonel Knapp, and “marched in front of the Pulaski House, Governor “Crawford’s quarters, who with head uncovered roceiv- <i C( j ti, eir salute. After passing in review two or three "times, the Battalion formed a line in Monument “ Square, and the Artillery fired a salute, followed by "tlw Battalion of Infantry. The officers were then in- "viled to take a social glass of wine with the Governor. “ After this pleasant interchange of feeling between the “Cotmiiander.in.Chief and the disciplined Corps ho “ has the honor to command, the Battalion returned to “tho Bay, and the Companies dismissed to their re spective Commanders. This is tho first opportunity j “afforded to our independent Corps of Volunteers lo “testify their respect for Gov. Crawford, who was ' “doubtless highly gratified with such an imposing dis- “plty of the citizen soldiers of Savannah. “Governor Crawford returns this morning via tho | “Railroad lo tho Seat of Government.” Tho Republican remarks that the above named com. panies, “after meeting at their respective parade “grounds, marched to the Bay, where tho line was form- “ed by acting Adjutant Bruen, after which, tho whole, “under command of Lieut. Col. Knapp, marched to I “Hsnumeiit Square, and passed in review before His I "Excellency, as Commander-in-Chicf. "The usual salute was then fired in honor of the oc- “esaiou, and the various evolutions were performed "with the utmost precision and promptness. Tho com. “pliment to Governor C. was not only well deserved, •bat reflected gTe&t credit upon the officers of the I “Stall; and of the several volunteer corps, as well as the “men whose public spirit prompted them to a general * turn out on the occasion." The New Administration of the Federal Govern ment. Ia the defeat of Mr. Clay, the Whigs, and a large — we might with truth say the larger—portion of even the Democratic party ofGeorgUi, experienced greatdis- appoiutuient. The one, in sorrow and dismay; tho other—like a man struggling in tho waves for life, and is saved by grasping a straw as it were—with wonder And amazement, at a result unlooked for, and but by very few out of thousands, ever calculated upon. For oarteH, we must confess we were made almost dumb At the unexpected success of our opponents—not that *e had underrated their efforts; and not that we viewed tkeia in the light of a despised and enervated foe. We calculated, and viewed them, more wisely than this.— We knew that in numbers tliey were a match for any parly. We know that they had among them leaders talented, determined, active, persevering, and reckless in their pursuits after success—and wo knew that a ierge, if not tho larger portion of the folloioers, would kn led blindfold to act out their parts in the grand po litical drama. We, therefore, did not underrate our opponents. But this we did do—we overrated the pa- biotisniand integrity of a large minority of them. Wo did believe that when the Nation’s honor, and gretitude, were about to be tested, although the Whig party ■night he in the minority, enough of the opposite parly would be found, bunting the iron links of parly, lo main- din them both unsullied and untarnished. But wo were disappointed. As ono man, they followed whore •keir leaders pninted, and the greatest statesman of the **e—tlio man who had thrice preserved this glorious Union—the unrivalled orator, whoso name is upon al- oeatevery pago of his country’s history for thirty years •ad more—was made the great sacrifice to that fell •tauter,party. Honor and gratiludo were aliko for. Jotten. The loaves and the fishes of office lured the *®*l>, ambitious, and designing, and their doludedfol- ”*cri rushed to tho polls, with no other object iu viowi •oaa to prove themselves true l o"Oldand Young Hick and tho Democratic party of tlio Union, Their com ”ry’i name nnd faino wero alike forgotten ! Harsh ** * our verdict, it is a just one! klr.Polk was electod, nnd wo wero disappointed.— Arerduty, then, was a plain one, so far as he was con- ^Wtcd. This was to wait events, nnd judge him by Ins I***- In n few short months lie would bo in tho Presi. i" n< inl chair, and then his Inaugural, his Cabinet, '"appointment* to office, all would go to prove "o had, heretofore, misjudged the man, or 7* r kia party had misrepresented him to the Georgia. Wo havo ncted in accordanco ’ these reflections, and havo uiado up our minds, ^fi the lights before us,” that it would have •* heiiot for iho country, and particularly tho South, '■ Polk had not ascended the Presidential Chair- pressed views. Like the Democracy of South Caroli na, they will not permit themselves, by tho same man, or same loaders, lo be deceived more than once ! They will now “bide their time,” and etriko the first oppor tunity. Upon those two subjects, taken in connection with the action of the last Democratic Congress, wo might say a great deal, but wo must hasten to a close. It would bo useless now to dwell upon the repeal of tho 21st Rule—upon tho refusal of Congress to even mod' ify the “odious whig tariff”—or upon thoir refusal to take off the tariff laid upon Railroad Iron, by which tho people of Georgia aro so heavily taxed. We must leave all this for some other period, and call the atton. tionnf our readers to Mr. Polk’s appointments. A glance at Mr. Polk’s cabinet officers will indicate to the reader something of the future policy of the ad ministration. The selection of the Secretary of State, and the unceremonious manner in which Mr. Calhoun was kicked out of office, are enough of themselves to prove to all Georgians, that there is no leaning on the part of Mr. Polk, nor will be, on the part of his cab inet, to those peculiar views of constitutional Govern ment, entertained by Southern State Rights men. There can he no doubt of this—and how far it will go to keep up that unnatural connection of Nullifiers andold Un- ion men in Georgia, which has existed since 1840, time will show. If Mr. Calhoun’s personal friends and fol lowers can submit to what he has endured, and still, to be with the party, slick to Mr. Polk, wo shall be very much deceived—and if principle he what they contend for, there must soon he, if they cannot become Whigs, a third party in Georgia. But what we designed most particularly to allude to, on thesubjcctof appointments, was the policy now pur suing by Mr. Polk in relation to those who held office under the late administration—tho Tyler men, honestly so, or those who, in the hope of being retained, flocked to tho standard of Mr. Polk at the earliest convenient opportunity. The removal of neither class of these can excite our sympathy. And yet, while it does not, wo can but view Mr, Polk as departing from a pledge made for, and by him, when ho commenced the dccapl. tation now going on, in our own State and elsewhere. Wo thought that proscription would not mark his ad ministration—but it seems that all have to walk the plank, to make room for the more zealous, or tho “young Hickories" of the Polk Democracy. And if in this, as in tho other particulars referred to, Mr. Polk has not doceived many of his supporters in the last President!, al election, then aro wo indeed very much deceived. We will now leave tho whole subject of this essay, to be reflected upon by those of our readers, who may peruso it. We have merely glanced at the develop, incuts made by the Polk administration since it took charge of the reins of Government and will leave the reader to enlarge upon them as he compares them with the past, and hears more of the future actiun of its chief. To the Whigs of the Comities of Upson ami Crawford. At a meeting of delegates representing each district of the counties of Upsun and Crawford, at Hootens- ville, on the 22d day of March, for tho purpose of nom inating a Whig candidate for Senator of the 27th Sen atorial District of Georgia, S. Carson, Esq., of Craw-- ford, was appointed President, and C. W. Allen, Sec retary. The meeting organized, Judge Lowe of Upson, moved that WILLIAM Si. BROWN, that untiring Wlmg of Crawford, bo nominated by acclammation, which was done without a dissenting voice. Mr. Rutherford, of Crawford, then made some handsooio complimentary remarks to tho Upson delegation for their liberality ill giving to Crawford the first candidate ; to which Mr. Walker, of Upson, replied, and he requested that the WliigB of Crawford would stand square up to the front, for Upson, ho said, would he sure, on the first Monday in October, to do the thing UP DROWN. A committee, consisting of Samuel H. Wilson and Daniel Grant, of Upson, and Samuel Rutherford, of Crawford, was appointed to notify Maj. Brown of his. nomination, and to ask his acceptance. The meeting then adjourned. S. CARSON, President. C. W. Allen, Secretary. •or he cannot fill it, with credit lo hitnislf nor honor to Nation. This he has already proved. Lot ui judge his acts !

Rhode Island Election.—The election in this Slate took place on the 2d inst. and resulted ill the election of Charles Jackson, the Whig Candidate for Governor, and Lemuel H Arnold, a Whig, to Congress. Mr. Jackson was supported by the Dorntes.as lie was in favor of liberating ths head of that parly, now con fined in tho Penitentiary. This, however, it is no- likely ho will bo able to accomplish, as in both branch es of the Legislature the Law and Qrdcr party have a largo inspudy.—Columbia ($■ C-) Chronicle, Mr. Brown's Acceptance. Crawford County, March 24lh, 1845. Gentlemen:—Your note of the 22d instant is now before me, informing me that tho Convention of the Whig parly of tho 27th Senatorial District had unani. mously and by acclammation nominated me as their candidate to represent them in the next Senate of Georgia. Under these circumstances, I cannot pause to count tlx; cost; but, with feelings of unfeigned grat. itude for tho honor thus conferred upon me, accept, tho nomination with a determination, if elected, to exert the utmost of my ability and influence to preserve inviolate tho true principles of our Government; and, instead of severing, to use every effort to strengthen those cords which bind together the various parts of our beloved Union. I consider the Whig party the great conservative party of the Union, ana cannot perceive any difference in the principles of that parly now, than there was in the days of our Revolutionary struggles. Let it main tain its integrity, for our name Whig is a tower of strength—it calls up the spirit of our Washingtons, our Madisons, and all the host of our Revolutionary sires. Then forsake not the name ! Its associations aro glorious and heart stiring ! With sentiments of great respect, I am your obedient fellow-citizen. WILLIAM M. BROWN, To Messrs. Samuel Wilson, Daniel Grant, and Samuel Rutherford, Committee. Military Compliment.—We see by the Savannah papers, that the Volunteer Companies of that City, on the occasion of a visit of Gov. Crawford, paraded to do honor to him. The compliment was honorable to the recipient and creditable to tlioso who conferred it: The line was formed of Cavalry, Artilery, Infantry, and Ri flemen, and we venture to say, presented a front which tho reviewieg Officer never before saw excelled. Ac cording to our poor judgement, tho Battalion that did honor to his Excellency, cannot be equalled in all the essentials of soldiership, by any Battalion of an equal number of Companies, out of tlio regular service. We learn tliat tho Macon Volunteers, who are of the same school, will celebrate their approaching Anniver sary by doing Camp duty for a day and night, on their beautiful Parade Ground, in tho vicinity of tho City. It is contemplated to invite Gov. Crawford to review them, and partake of their hospitalities, and it is oar- nestly hoped, that it will be both agrcable and conve nient for him to accept of the invitation.—Macon Mes- senger.

And hero it io proper to notice tn article it tho Qlobt Of Friday night, io Which it nolicoa a t length the matters wo havo assigned os among the causes of Mr. Van Boren's defeat — especially tlio Ac tion of *ho party on iho TarifTaiul the 21st Jlule. That paper rovives its old and absurd charge ngainsl the free trade men of the South that they wore the cause of the defeat of McKay's TariffbiII. If the Globo be lieves that* nobody else doce. It wns known that a much larger majority would havo voted against the passage of that bill, than voted to'lay it on tho tabic. There was no manner of doubt about the matter at the time, nnd if there had been, the subsequent course of tho party in New York, Pennsylvania and other manu* facturing States would have set it at rest. They dis tinctly refused to g<> into tho Presidential election on the issue—a revenue tariff, or protection, and main tained that Mr. Pulk was a belter protective tariff man than Mt* Cloy. The other charge of the Globe is, that we have as signed as ono of the cause* of the distrust of Mr. Van Buren and his party, tho repeal of the 2Isi llule, which did not take place till last winter, six months after the nomation of Mr. Polk ! This is the Globe’s winding up, and with tho privilege of making the facts, anybo dy may close au argument triumphantly. Nobody knows better than the Globe ought to know, that tlio Hole was repealed at the preceding session on a direct vote — and tliat the certainly of a rupture in the party and the utter destruction ot the hopes of tho Northern candi date in consequence of such action going before the Southern people were the real and sole cause of tlio retraction ot that vole and the laying on the table the whole subject of a revisal of the Rules of the House (.lolinQ,. Adams Chairman of the Committee on Rules by appointment of a “sterling Democratic Speaker! !) 'This left the old Rules in force, and ns the hostile vote had not been carried into effect, tho people were never thoroughly alive to its deep significance. It was slur red even as the Globe now slurs it. If it was men tioned at all, it too, like tho veto on the Tariff was treated as a harmless mamijuvre to outwit tho Whigs and prevent Mr- Clay from absorbing the vote of aboli tionists. Wo were reminded that the repeal of tho Rule had not been carried out—which was proof that the party was all right. Let them get over iho Presi dential election, and we should see that they were still faithful to right principles and lo their pledges. So men reasoned, and the mass believed. Those who saw deeper knew that such hopes were baseless. They held it ao settled that on tho first opportunity the Northern Democrats, uniting with tho VVhigs, would abolish the Rule and open tho doors of the House wide to Aboli tion agitation. The signs were many and indubitable, lo those who saw the whole. They took the ground before the people in several of the great States, and even on Texas they sustained tho position of the Balti more Conventions on abolition grounds, whore Aboli tion did not tempt them to go against Texas entirely. They maintained that Annexation would aid and ac celerate the extinction of slavery—by draining Mary land, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri of thoir black population. And then, Texas coming in as a Territory under the control of Congress, (tlio only form m which Annexation had been presented) the Northern majority might modify and limit it, and by giving one or two ill UnjU Xhjh (?*tt‘oirmtffkut in’Livci flf’tw# - • f. ■■*.-’ ;■ Nothing of consequence from tho British Parllli- m**m.

It is a day, emphat ically of relaxation from labor, set apart for pleasure and pastime by'all, the laborer and the gonlleman, the peasant and tlio student. Sunday is the great day for giving dinner parties, and Sunday evening for ball,.— On lliis day the peasants olten meet in somo beerhouse to pass the day and end tho evening with a done#; tho student,’ 'kucips are unuiualiy full and uoiay." States to the South, might appropriate ail the rest to themselves. Texas was thus mystified, whilst the certain repeal of the 21st Rule by tho Democratic party made a great diversion in thoir favor among tho Abolitionists, and led thousands of them either to voto an independent ticket or to support the Democratic candidates. The effect of such proceedings iu the Presidential can. vass, 6001) showed itself on tlio meeting of Congress, with ill lo deference to tlio Baltimore Resolution. On tlio third day of tho sossioti, tlio 21st Rule was repealed but four votes North of tlio Potomac being given to re tain it. Whatever tho people of the South expected to the contrary, and whatever was said during the Prcsiden - lial Election, to foster such expectations, it is plain the politicians at Washington know the Repeal of'the Rule was settled and a matter of course. If they had any assurance at all of the Democratic party, it was tho as surance of its defection from the South—of its hostility. To reason against fanaticism, or to talk against time, they felt to bo equally useless, and the 21st Rule was repealed, without a word or an effort to arrest its fate. The Northern politicians had certainly been at no pains to deceive any body on this point—unless indeed the Baltimore Resolution could be supposed to mean something: and so it might, standing by itself, but the practical commentary on it at tho preceding Session (for it was verbatim the Baltimore Resolution of 1840) is an answer lo that, and plainly shews that they meant nothing. If wo vole confidence ill ibem after such an interpretation of their pledge, so much the worse torus A willing dupe'is no dupo at all. Something about ‘‘Confidence in the Democratic Party Moralists and wits have conjured up many appropri ate illustrations of the late of those who, for laziness, cowardize, stupidity, revenge, or any equally unworthy reason, havo given themselves up to their enemies, “and found too lalo that men betray.” ‘Of such, was tho ass that wont limiting with the lion, carefully ex- acting bcloro hand iho condition that a fair division ot the spoil should bo made. Equal to this is the instance of the widowed goose, who accepted the address of tlio fox, on his stipulating to take care of the goslings— which he did, alter his own fashion. The horse that took a rider for tho Bake of hunting his enemy tho stag; —the man that built his house un tlio quicksand to be near an oycster.bed which was such a consideration, are to the same effect. Folly or weakness have the credit of being at the bottom of all false confidence, and in pol itics wo are disposed fully to admit this. But above all, to put ourselves iu the hands of those who have al ready cheated us—who havo displayed principle only according to Dogberry’s caution, “when there was no need of such vanity," and on every emergency have re gularly evaded the fulfilment of theiragreements, — this is a pitch of lolly that is almost incredible. Wc remarked the other day upon the conclusive evi dence that the Members of Congress Irum the South hail looked for the repeal of the 21st Rule, as a matter of course. They knew that oil that point, tho Demo- cratlc party at tho North had resolved to trample on the common agreement, and that it was perfectly idle to resist them in the House. Yet during the whole Pre sidential canvass, they gave no warning of the danger —they slurred over the fatal vote of tho preceding Scs. sion which declared the union of the two great parties of tbe North, on the principle that the Federal Govern ment is henceforth to be an anti slavery Government,— that its moral weight, and as far as possible Its physi cal power, is to bo used for the humiliation, injury and destruction of the South. Examine the outcry which all parlies at tlio North made against Mr. Calhoun’s noble despatch to our Paris Aimister, if proof is ne cessary that such is the true meaning of this amalga- tion. But the mere fact that at the instigation of tlio ene mies of the South, to conciliate and satisfy those whe avow the extinction of slavery to bo tlio sole object of their agitation, the Ilouso of Representatives has as- sorted jurisdiction over our institutions, is all-sufficient to show that so tar as they are concerned, the Federal Government has become an anti-slavery Government. Wc shall not slop to discuss whether the Southern peo ple cau live under such a Government,—or whether any people can live otherwise than in utter and hope less servitude, under a Government which is systemat ically hostile to them. Let the people turn that over in their minds and draw their own conclusion. What wc insist upon is that such a catastrophe should have been looked for by the Southern politicians last year. And yet who would have dreamed there was any danger from the tone of our public procteJmgs! On the first meeting of our Legislature, the Senalo unanimously passed resolutions full of confidence in the good faith ol the Democratic parly, and of hope from its triumph.— The ink was hardly cold when thn news reached them of the repeal of the 21st Rulo and they seem to have been completely taken by surprise. Having already sent to the House, their “confidence,” ill the first set of Resolutions, they transmitted to that body their disap pointment, indignation and disgust, in a second set The Senate shewed simply au entire lack uf fore caste. But a more singular blindness possessed tho House,— for they could not see the event afler it had transpired. The ilouso smothered the Senate's indignation at the trcachory now disclosed, and voicd confidence in the parly, as it were in consequence of the betrayal. We like nut lo dwell on this. Wc arc unwilling to beliove that there is a single member of our Legislature who does not now grieve over the position iu which these proceedings placed the State. It is a most unnatural positiun, ami one from which the people, if they have not lost all pride in the name and heroic memories of South Carolina, will speedily redeem ner. Wo havo neither reason nor occasion to put ourselves in the power of any Noithern party, and tho sooner we lako that lesson to our hearts and above all, impress it upon tho public servants of the Slate, the heller shall we consult both her dignity and her safety.—Charleston Mercury.

Removals ry the President.—The guillotine has been pul in operation at Washington, and many of tin; heads ot the office-holders chopped off. Among them is Mr. Williams, the Collector of Boston, a warm friend of Mr, Calhoun’s, and for whom, it is said, lie departed from his general rule and requested Mr. Polk lo have him coniinued in office. Ilia request, however, was disregarded and Mr. William’s neck has been brought to the block. A host of old and iaitlilnl public officers have also been removed from tlio Departments at Washington, and thoir places supplied by greedy and needy cormorants from the Vail Buren wing of the Do- inucracy.

The die is cast, nnd we can only hope that the peopte will, hereafter, exercise a more just discrimination. But still, when we think of the competitors in that noble race, and the unexpected ter mination of it, it is hard, indeed, to submit with a mur mur. On the one hand, there was a man, whom a party had chosen to be their leader, because he had shown the greatest devotion to their interests, the deep est love of country, the profoundest contempt for popu lar prejudice, the fixed determination, though “death were in the cup,” to quaff it to hi* country’s safety.— On the other side, a man is made the Chief, “without solicitation on hts part,” as ho takes care to tell us in his Inaugural, and who makes it a matter of boasting •tot that he is the wisest but the youngest man that ever filled the Presidential Chair.

Without further preface then I state as certain— First, that a sort of agent has been sent to Mexico to fee! about as to whether there bo any chance, or any mode of resuming diplomatic intercourse with that country.
