Scarcely a member of that body, but knew full woll '.hat the Government could nut be administered more ably, and more to ihe true interest of the people, than it has been by the present Executive. They knew that every measure of his, had been successful—that he hud restored order out of confusion—llint he bad reelor- od the lost credit of the State—that he had checked extravagance, and introduced economy in every branch of the public service—and that ho was fast lessening the heavy burthens of the tax payers of Georgia. They knew this, and many of them openly spoke of it. Un der such circumstances they dared nol avow any policy differing from his. And to adopt his measures, or to acknowledge before the people their practical good ef- tious ofculogy, and can only receive its full share of jus. feet, was lo commit themselves to the same line of pol ) *' ce al *l |a hands ol posterity, who for succeeding ages | icy.

Every thing, in 1 fact, hat boen done, that could be to honor the memory lot a late President of tho United Slates, a patriot, and I one of the greatest, and most successful, soldiers of the I time* he lived in. Gen. Jackson died at the Hermitage, near Nashville, iTennivsee, on the 8tli iust, and waa buried on the Tues- 1 day following. Without military parade, but unosten- Itaiiously, he requested that his remains should be in. I terred. We presume that his wishes were complied I with. He was79 years old. We refrain from further I comments, but refer the reader to the following arti- I elet, and to the proceedings of our citizens, to which | we have already referred above. [ntON THE NASHVILLE UNION. Death of Gen. Jackson. —General Andrew Jackson I lied at the Hormitage at 6 o’clock, P- M. on Sunday, I the 8ih instant. His funeral takes place to-day at 10 ■ o'clock. He breathed his last quietly, calmly, and w.th llo entire resignation, amidst ilia beloved members of I bit family and a few iiit.matc friends wlto were present. I Death bad no terrors for him—he met him with compo- I sure, and with full confidence that he was prepared for I a better world. Death could not have taken him by Imrprise for more than a year—he has been ready at all Itimea to obey the dread summons. When the inessen- Iger finally came, the old Soldier,Patriot and Christian, I waa looking for his approach.

As a General, lie lod our armies to vic tory ; as a Statesman, at the head of the government for eight yeara, lie conducted its administration foreign and domestic, with consummate wisdom and stifccss, in tho face of difficulties apparently insurmountable.— Then retiring to the shades of the Hermitage, lie pas- sed the remnant of his years in patriotic aspirations for his country’s glory, nnd in more humble and pious de votion to the claims of Christianity. And on the 8lh inst. his spirit released from its‘house of clay,' joined those of his compatriots wlto have gone before, and : wlto. like him. have faithfully served their country, and ' filled to the brim their cup of glory, sunk to the toinb, ; wept, honored and revered by a whole republic ol grate- ' ful freemen. But while as Americans we sincerely bewail toe death of so great a benefactor, we would not utter one syllable of complaint at the ways of Pro. videnre. We bow with humble resignation, feeling that he is too wise to err, and too good lo be unkind. 1. lie it therefore Resolved, That aa Americana cit. izens, we cherish the highest veneration (nr the charac. ter, and the most aino-re and heartfelt gratitude for the public services of General Andrew Jackson, late I’rcs - dent of the United Slates. about tho payment of the public debt—not a word about the State Railroad—nol a word about the taxes they would put upon the people—not a word in relation to the State Treasury, the Central Bank, the Penitentiary— not a word about any thing relating to State affairs t Will the people stand this ?

This gentleman is now fairly before the people as the candidate of his parly for the office of Governor.— With his pretensions, we shall deal firmly, yet respect fully. Wc have no Idea that the contest before us re quires that either side should forget what justice de mands. If it did, we should certainly abandon it. But it does not. The two parties have, or will have before them, candidates whom each conceives lobe well fitted for the station. One of them lias keen already tried, and he has not been found wanting. The other, Air. McAllister, is put forward to displace the presont incum- „ ... . , . , bent.

In our last, we anticipated the action of the Demo, craticConvention in an article written previous to its session. We said that they would endeavor to force Ho is gone, but bis mu- , into the political canvass for Governor, "issues foreign lo the times," and we nowroferlhe reader to their offi cial proceedings, which we presume will appear to-day in the Federal Union, to prove the fulfilment of our pre- dictions. We hope that every Georgian will read them, so that each one, for himself, may seo and understand upon what grounds the leaders of that party intend to fight the approaching battle. And in the mearntime, we ask to be indulged in a few commeuts upon thu pro ceedtngs of last week. Their Convention was respectable in point of num some of his public acts. If they redound to his honor, be it so—let him havetlio full benefit of them. If other wise, it will be his misfortune, and nut a fault, but a duty in us, to expose them. As we remarked before, Mr. McAllister is a party candidate. His public acts, therefore, one would sup pose would show his devotion to the principles of that parly, and, rn all, they should prove him to be a patriot at heart, particularly devoted to the doctrines of State Rights and the maintenance of State sovereignty. In these respects, hi* party and the people will find that he has been wanting. It cannot ba forgotten that the act which haa immortalized the name of Habersham with the people of this State, reflects upon tiiat ul Mc Allister no such honor. The one acorned lo be an instrument in the hands of the Federal Government, to withhold from Georgia her territory, anil resigned his station—the other, to the mortification of many of his own friends, accepted the resigned dignity. But we expect to refer to this act hereafter, and shall now pass it by, as wc will other prominent public acts of the Democratic nominee. All that wo designed, when wo set out with this article, was to assure tins gentleman, and Ins supporters, that as lie w as fairly in the field, we should treat Ins pretensions with respect, but at the game lime, the contrast which Ilia public acts will show, when compared with the professions of his parly, as it is fair game, we shall dish up occasionally for the pub. lie. FIRE PROOF WARE HOUSE IN MACON. We have been requested, and take pleasure, in call ing 'he attention of our planting friends to the Fire. Pinf Ware-house, lately erected in Macon, by Jerry Cowles, Esq. The Macon Messenger says, that it ts the only Fire Proof Ware-house in the city of Macon,— and is located at the place where tiie Monroe Railroad and Banking Company partially erected a building for kni thirty ttven thou. I lundred dollars I If to this ha added the lose ocea ' sinned by the ftre already spoken of.- computed to reach 830 900, w* find an actual loss to the public of threr- liundred and.sixty-seven thousand, five hundred dollars The report of the minority of that committee, affirm* that “tire whole history of the roncern, has been one ol .tccidents and mismanagement.” Without underta king to decide the question of mismanagement, I assert it iat a Hale of things so disastrous, and long continued w 'S* well calculated to excite among the people a apir. it of enquiry; to weaken their faith in the utility of a s ystem they were compelled to sustain at such enor- n tous sacrifices ; and to call loudly for reformation in ■ ts management, if that were practicable, or the altan- c ktnment of a system no longer tenable. Every roflect. ■ fig mind, however, must be sensible, that tn explode a p Ian interwoven with, and congenial to, the spirit of o or Republican institutions, and return to a codu ori- gi nating under the despotism of feudal ages,—were to rc nounce the advantages and lights of civilization, and on ce more bury the human mind in the depths ufdark- n< as and barbarism. Our Legislature therefore, wise ly determined, not to allow the uneuccea«ful issue of tl> iC past, to control their prospective legislation. They w ell knew that where the people are free, laws should n ot be tyrannical. That when the latter are mild sud n icreiful, the attachment of the citizen to Ins country is a. 'ways strangest. Experience taught them that the ci mainly of punishment, possessed greater restraining ii ifluenco over the m nd, than those sanguinary enact- m lents that humanity abliored, and a humane people w culd rarely enlorce. And they seemed to cherish a c soviet ion, i hat under proper regulations andakilful man. a gement, all the onds which reasonably could be ex- p ected from the system, would eventually be attained 9 ‘hey pressed forward with unfaltering step, and have n tade a vigorous elliirt to render the institution all that a high minded people canid desire. With these views ti mi body appropriated the aum of thirty-two thousand d' jliars, in order to pay off tho debts of lire Penitentia- M >, and arrest I hut progressive ai cumulation of them, bj • which its credit had been destroy, d, and its energies lin ralized. It also appropriated eighteen thousand dul. ia re, lo erect suitable buildings in place of those that w ero burned down, and fur the support ol the instl’u'ioii, di mug the time its available labor was employed in the ;>i 'ocess of rebuilding. In order to show how far success has attended the e Sorts of the present administration to cany out the de- s gns of the General Assembly, and realize its expec- ti itioua, the enquirer must retrospect lo tlie four years ii nmediatcly preceding the Session of 1843. [i is only Ii |> cnminiriatm, that results can fairly be appreciated— ai id no eci iparison can be more just, tIran where then* is n intinuuy of time and operations. Premising thus in uch, 1 hope not to be misunderstood, or charged with in .traducing topics irrelevant to the rase in hand ; their ci mnexion renders it necessary, for purpcaes of tllustra- ti on. The general condition of the Penitentiary, as dis ci psed in the reports of the committee lo the General A reemhiy ol 1843, has keen already adverted to, Ur ge tlier with the action of that body thereon.

In the afternoon session, Dr. Daniel introduced the Baltimore Resolutions, and His motion I was opposed by Mr. Spaulding, so far as Ihe resolutions relating to the Oregon Territory was concerned. This opposition created some little sparring, in which Dr. Daniel, the Hon. M. A. Cooper, and Mr. Spauidiug par. ticipated. In the course of Mr. Cooper’s remarks, we I learned that ho and others wero instrumental in intro, ducing these resolutons fur the adoptiou of the Conven tion—and this, with other circumstances, sstisfiod us that the sceptre hid departed from the original panel, and that the new lights of tho Democratic Party, Troup I men and NulUfiers, now controlled all ita operations.— Of course, if the oil panel are satisfied with this, ws have no right to cuiopiain. We will-now refer qpift t6 what wo alluded to in the outset of.this article. Here wa# a Convention as- •ambled to nominate a candidate far lb* Chirf Magic tracy of Georgia, and instead nf tluiir presenting lo the people tbyir view* and opinmua in relation I* .feme ■ f - . .. i - I A ’- a' ||^ Ltswa ewhs; ,-Tm. th* people to pressimi for the other, but I could not intentionally have perpetrated so gross a solecism on language, and of propriety. Tlinro may he no positive .taiule prohibit ing such indulgence lo the prisoner, was he in a humor to indulge the cacoethes loguenii—yet I much question if the Principal Keeper would conceive it edifying tn lis ten to any such harangues, as you make me ascribe to the Convicts. But if in this instance, the error complained of he of no more consequence than to render the sense ridicu lous, what follows is of a graver nature, and amounts to felony direct—for by it l am made to charge the steam engine, one of the most active and useful agents of the institution’ with the offence of “throwing” certain ma chinery therein described. TbiB act of insubordination I certainly never designodimputingto that respectable, and hitherto tractable functionary. I described it as •turning" them, merely. In such a case the idea nf throwing i* correlative wit ii displacing, rendering use less. asportation, Stc. Sic., and aa the machinery belongs to the State, auch malicious destruction of its property ia felony by law. I could offer rainy oilier ideas to show the awkward predicament I am made tn appear in, by these depar tures Irom my manuscript, but that 1 know yourssgaci. ty will amply supply the omission, and withal pereeiv* that my present object is to ask of you the favor to sot mo right in tiie matter, before the pnhlio—on which condition I will not accuse your mmof-fcader of neg.' looting l* correct eevrral error* of minor cooeequenc*.

Amo unt of Btock, appropriations by the I, 'gislaiure, and increase uf debts di (ring Syenrs and 9 months Amo U'it of all credits during same peri od of lime Amo unt of loss during the years 1840, 1841, 1942, and 9 months of 1843 814,321 30 The reader will bear in mind, that the above state ment takes in three ycajs, and nine months only, of 'he lour th year ; coming down to tho 2d day of October, 1843, when ilie political year ended. Up to that lime, the report uf Ihe Principal Keeper was made out, and laid before the Legislature that convened on the first Monday in November following. Of consequence, thu report of the Principal Keeper, Gen. Nelson, for the last quarter of 1843, ending on ihe 2d day of January, 1844, was made out after the General Assembly had »djourned,and wan never seen by it. In his report for l hat quarter, the General represents ihe losses of the i natitution to amount to 811,424 36}. In this liowev- i ;r, '8 included an item of 83030 12, fur "materials i tnd articles destroyed hy fire.” In oracr, therefore, tc nscertain the true amount of loss on the legitimate op- > 'rations of the institution during iin) quarter, it is ne. c essnry to deduct this item of loss by fire, from Ii is es- t.maieof 811,424 36}; having done so, wo finds loss i o the Penitentinrv, uu the business of the last quarter o f the year 1843, amounting to 88,368 24}. Adding t o this sum the losses accruing during the first three y ears and nine months, already exhibited to have been 5 114,321 36, nnd wo have an apparent lore uf 822.709 6 9} on tho four years operations of the institution. A .nd fortunate would it have beuii, were that the extent 0, f its misfurtuiies. This result has been arrived at pi ’inci|"t!'.y from reports of the Principal Keeper, which in some points are erroneous. Nor is it an easy mal ic Mo be lice from error in matters so complicated, as ha vebeen the affairs of the Penitentiary. Ii is demon- st rablethat the actual lose of the institution far ex ceeds the above estimate. Tho result" wove attained b< ing used as data, will render the process abort and si aiple. The calculation proceeds thus — A mount of lues as already shown 822,709 60} A mount of of appropriation to pay debts repot led in Legislature 32,000 00 r\moun*. of old debts never reported nor included ill former estimates, paid by the Penitentiary, in the years 1844 and 1845 The Philadelphia Inquirer, alluding to Mr. McLane’s appointment as Minister lo C.uglaiid, says-- Mr. McLano is a man uf character, ability and expe rience as n Minister. He was once a number of Gen. Jackson’s Cabinet, and has also represented this cun- try at the Court of St. James. The selection under all the circumstances, appears tn us judicious and a guar, antee as well that I lie hsnnr of the country will he ful ly maintoined, as that theblessings ofpeaccwill be do- ly appreciated in all negotiations in which Mr. McLane may lake a part.
