Wo forbear saying oiors, >• the facts present*! speak for themselves I all FOR PARTY-NOTHING FOR TIIE TAX A PAVERS. It is strange, in this "enlightened era," that there art to be found individual* simple enough to think that th* people of Georgia have “ no thought for th» Borrow"—that porly spirit has clamped its iron hands rtfaat upon them, there is no wresting them away, whatever may be the iteuo—that, in ahort, it is only asceeiary to appeal to party associations, and, forsaking ill else, that men will rally to the support of a nominee regardless of the public weal. It is strange we say, that there are individvals simple enough lo believe this, ‘[■heir faith, reals upon the past. Their experience, tlBy will tell you, teaches them that humbuggery is the teit woapon in party warlare—and that appeals.to vo ters, 11 1« be true lo their party," bo it right, or be it wrong, will seldom bo in vain. Thus they argue, and thus they act, seemingly forgetful of that “ sober second thought," which sometimes controls men’s actions, and which, if it ever did influence the pooplo of Georgia i exercises more of it at this day, than it has exercised, for years and years. Turn which way they will, and they can see this. It is in every man’s mouth ns it wtie, when he is questioned upon his political course uid lie must be blind that does not sec it in the general expression of public opinion. The time has indeed arrived in Georgia, when the people should awaken to their true interests. It is not the political promotion of Mr, McAllister, nor the continuance in office of Governor Crawford, that should time, be taken into the account. The welfare of the Slate is to be heeded. Her debt, her resources, are to be looked to. Her system of taxation is to be regula- ted--l>er faith, her honor, is to remain unimpeachcd— her institutions, of whatever character, are to be ad- nnced.and her general Interests guarded, and protect ed. These are subjects beyond party. Neither the Tariff, nor Distribution, nor Texas, nor Oregon, nor Mr. Polk, can regulate Chose affairs. They are subjects for home consideration, and the lax payers of our State, ■even out of every ten of them, party or no party, will tell the politicians so. And how could this be otherwise I Is It not known to the people, that, a few years ago, there was in our State Treasury and Central Dank, an abundance, tmi to ■pare! What lias become of it! Who had the con trol of ill Where is it all gone! Talk not to Iho poo. pleabouttho Tariff, when these questions, in a cen tals for State Officers, are before them! Talk not to the people of Texas nor Oregon, when they are asking you what has become of iho money of the State! Ta k not lo the people of "Federal Embraces.” when they ask you whylheir.Trcasury has been impoverished ! Talk cot lo the people of Mr. Polk, and the administration of the Federal Government, when they are enquiring how the debts of the State are to be paid, and what system ofTaxalion will be adopted to pay them ! They know to which party they are indebted for all their Slate dif ficulties, and they fed that if any administrator of tho Government can get them “ out of the suck" without op- pressing them, George W. Crawford can! They hive had a little foretaste of this already, in his two year's administration, ami you must convince them, that Mr. McAllister is just such a man, ere lie will meet with their embraces. Mr. McAllister’s party, therefore, his subalterns, wire workers, and so on, must abandon Federal politics, and meat the only issues that should be presented lo the people, or that tlioy desire presented. They must abandon the contest, or they must let the people know how they are going to manage the Stale Government ; They must quit talking of party, and talk about the (axes! They mii9t clear their skirts of serious charges of misrule, in legislating for the people, and in admin- iiter ng the Government! They must tell what has bocome of the capital of the Central Bank ; and why it is. that the lusts in winding up its affairs, will equal half a million of dollars I It is all folly for them lo •oppose, that the people do nat see into their hands, when they play off’upon Federal Politics. Why the sound, hard working, democrats of the State—men who ire honest in their course—are disgusted witli tins timpering.and many of them demand already, why it is they bear nothing of Mr. McAllister’s State policy ! The tux payers have some interest in this matter, as well is in federal politics, and they will abandon any came, or tnan, that wantonly neglects the affairs of Georgia! Too long have they suffered by the wretched extravagance and misrule of the leaders of the Demo, eaatic Party, and they will submit to it no longer.— Mark the prediction, you who imagine, that at tho aouad of the parly.bugle, your forces will muster as in days of yore ! Tile people are content with the present 'ncumhent, and a change they neither desire nor seek! •PINKY WOODS.” Our reply to this writer's array of "Expenses and Appropriations of the Legislatures” of 1812 and 1843, must be brief. It is a waste of words to present other than the plainest/acts. He puts down tho expenses and appropriationsoflhe Democratic Legislature, that of 1842, at $1/5,847 07, and leaves out the two last items, amounting lo $52,000, boauie they were chargeable to the United Stales, and *ill he, if they have no', been, re turned to the State’s Treasury, Now, we will just inform our readers, for wc care Rot whether lie knows it or not, that the $50,000hate not been returned lo the Treasury; and that Governor McDonald was informed, when he ordered out the troops, Ijia, their expenses would not be paid by the United States, blit if ordered out, that the Slate should bear them ! So much for this part of t.is figuring !

ATUINfc, fit It Aug. 1845. VV> the Editor of the Georgia Journal: You doubtleea would like to hear something of tho ‘‘doing*”of tliia prosperous pluce juit about now. I'Oinnieuceinent is over, mid such u crowd as was here that day Athens navor saw before. The lit nrury exhibition was creditable, but seemed in at- heel but iitilu noiioo. The greni object of attinn. lion was tho politicul scheming mid uiTRoging which the war for office presented. I fell mortified at what 1 saw, and still irmro disgusted tit the ends to which such an occasion had beitti prostituted.— 1 Itore wus a very largo collection of the leaders of the Democratic party present. Commencement week was the lime selected and appropriated hy that party for the format meeting of their Execu. tive Committee, nl which the plan of the campaign was to he arranged, and other business of the party transacted. Hence, u grent number of their lend, ers were here. It is to lie much regretted, that the occasion which brings so many people together for such different purposes, should lie made that of pur- li/.au dispiuy. Our children nro prone enough lo wunder from their studies at all times, without hav. ing the tulditiunal inducement added, of the attrac tions of political warfare. The example Ims been an evil one, and will produce u deleterious influence upon the institution and the scholars. However, tlte deed lias been done, and we con recognize in it, the mischievous effects wli.cll a high state of par. ty fueling will produce, A meeting of this commiileo.or of the party, or both, wns held on Wednesday night. It was more properly n cuucus of a few chosen spirits who met and consulted together about tho prospects of tlte canvass, and 1 am informed that the meeting result ed very unsatisfactorily to those present. Tlte pre vailing opinion wns, however, tliat Gov. Crawford’s re-election was almost certain—that tho people were satisfied with it—and that no hope remain ed of defeating it, unless the people could be thrown into u great excitement, and under that ex cilement be led to vote differently from what their convictions told them was right. Vurious plans were suggested a3 to the best mode, to get up an excitement. At lust it was determined, that as Texas had served as a good humbug last year they would try it uguin—and so they resolved, tliut mass meetings should be got tip iu each Senatorial dis trict, sometime in September, under tlte pretence of rejoicing over the annexation of Texas ! So it, due time, I doubt tint hut you will have a darning notice to that effect. A very worthy end intelli gent domocrat with whnm I conversed, opposed this scheme very much. Hu suid, that tlte people hud been led bv humbug long enougli—that litis rejoic ing was hypocritical and designed for party ends alone—that lie would not participate in them, him self, nor encournge others to do so—that famine in some places was upon the people, and he felt more like humbling himself lor the mighty scourge with which Providence ImJ afflicted us, titan of exciting the people in public meetings. Ho further stuted, that lie wns not certain that lie wns doing right, to attempt tlte defeat of Gov. Crawford—that hisnd. ministration was able, faithful, and valuable—that the people were satisfied, and that office-seekers alone, wished him displaced—and that if tlte people were satisfied, hu did not know who should cum- pluin. These views, I believe are those of every man in Georgia, who is not seeking office for himself nr friends; and I conversed with several gentlemen yesterday and to-day, who supported Mr. Poik last year, who say, they slm|l vote for Gov. Cruwford— that they are dernocruts in National politics, he. cause they believe tho democratic policy to be riclit; and wltigs iu Stale politics, because, they believe the Whig policy to be right. And this it seems to me, is tlte true course for every nt»n to pursue, who loves Itia country above bis party—vote for those whom you think do right.nndservu their coun try the best. From the prospects of the crops ev ery where I have been, the great question, will be tite next year, where shall l get money from to puy my taxes / I Intve been informed, that while debating tlte proper mode of getting up an excitement or a bunt, bug, a loan from the Central Bank, and a reduction of the taxes were proposed. They were built im mediately abandoned ; for said a gentleman, we promised both these tilings to the pooplo before, and nil we gave litem, was an increase u( taxes 25 per cent! A plan of organization for each county was likewise proposed. Tito fundamental principles of which wus,that tlte people should be watched, and made to vote with the parly, willing, or unwilling.— Before longyou will get that too. Tlte settled pur pose seems tu bo, lo make every man go as tlte leaders direct, or reud him out of tho party. Sev. eral of ibis clas9 are here now; promises and threats have been fully used, lo compel them to wear the yoke—but as independent men, they will not be forced. From all I can see there is a dispo sition lo let, “ well enough alone." The recent discussions in the newspapers about Guv. Crawford’s financial administration, has awakened a great deal of enquiry. The palpable misrepresentations of “Pinoy Woods,” tire opera, ling against the party—and I should not besurpris. ed, if uit attempt should bo made to disavow them, and throw them upon some obscure and worthless individuals, to save the party from further Itnrm ; hut this cannot be done. They have been endors ed by every paper as true, and it is no excuse for the falsehoods to say. that a vugabond told tho false hoods. I will leave you here, promising ere long, to give you my next at the Madison Springs, whith er I shortly go. GEORGIA. | FOR THF.

A ii hough Mr. Me- A.llister had just left, his mime or politics were scarcely ever i nentioued. In allinv preregriuaiiniisthrough the country for several years past, I have never witnessed so little political <’ xciteinent. Although I have enquired diligently. I have not {heard of tho first Whig who will not vote for Governor ' ( Jrawfokd, while, c.-n the other hand, I have heard of several 1 f tihbtantial, prominent Democrats, who will vote against Mr. : McAllister. When 1 say prominent Democrats, I do not | n*puii thof-e who ure aspiring to office, or who care for parly j luvors; hut lmenu those who nro prominent in their neigh- • Gorhood, their count v, nnd wherever they are known, ns good j citizens, prudent.calculating,nnd looked upon ns being most I worthy of trust.

Cim wvonv, lie has ft’ eu got along w ith less, nnd done better than any Govt-mar of Georgia has ever done, and they have detetmiued, fnrthis year ut least, to rebuke the spirit of party, and to stand hy it heir country. The election in October will show ninny of these—and many, too, of those, who, not wishing to become conspicuous, as opposing their party, Imt who sen the neces sity ofretaining such a Governor iu oilier ns Mr draw ford lias been, will silently deposit their votes iu t .• ballot box* with the proud satisfaction of know in g that while they liavft not gone for ’!mir party,they have qouej-n t ic best in f crests of their c<: utru ; that they hate gone Jor tlu ir own in terests and fur the inti rests ol their children.

These lines furnish a very interesting theme for an almost never ending commentary. They refer to every condition and to every a go. They embrace tire public j u* well as private man—the divine — the doetor—thi j lawyer—the artist and common laborer; inline, ever / body that pretends ever to make moral principle th c guide ex 1- iiia conduct. They inculcate the sacred trut) t that virtue is power and that it needs only perseveranc e to insure success. They inculcate farther, and what i s greatly wanting in very many insiances, moral courage ? or tliat firmness of mind which enables a mail, convinc* ed of the propriety of any action, to go forward heed, lessot opposition and bent upon tho fulfilment of tho virtuous purpose. But it is not intended in this paper to occupy the wide range thus laid out for profitable reflections, or to remark generally upon the different aspects that every one assumes or should assume, in the discharge of those duties he owes himself iu common with his fellow-man. Let it suffice that the Loafer’s attention is singly directed this week, to one and but one, highly important topic. The Loafer, good reader, you must know goes every where and as a matter in course, sees and hears some thing of and about every thing. Blit a little lime back, therefore, there occurred at. a Whig-nominating-mect- ing in Mihedgeville, a rare incident—a tiling not at al! usual in these times of deplorable degeneracy, but which struck him with peculiar delight; and, he has no doul>\ will equally please the good and well disposed of all parties and places. It so chanced (was it not chance?) that, the nomination of the Representative for Mdd Baldwin’ fell upon one who, in responding to the distinguished honor, availed lumself of the occasion to declare his repugnance and hostility to Barbecues — so customary and popular heretofore, as a means for electio coring ! This branch of‘the canvass' he blunt- t ly condemned and abjured —not so much perhaps per sc (for who does not relish good eating, seasoned upon the- plan of the barbecued dish, and the company of his friends there collected?) as for those other and more numerous ills and annoyances which always grow out of them. However, ho ihe reasons of his objection what they may—and ’lie Loafer presumes they are of the right kind—he arrayed himself implacably against the deteriorating practice So far very good ; but ns the devil himself has his friends, so had and so has bar- ) beetles. ‘There is sic li* asour old 'owns man, Fat used to i say, and iu behalf ol the ‘time honored custom’ (!) ad- j vocatcs flew up thick as mushrooms. *I d see him in ; — before he gets my vote,' exclaimed a few a* they depart* | ed home snapping and tossing their heads at each other, \ and iu defiance of the presumptuous claims of tho nom- i iuee. *// wont do—it is by far the most unfortunate de- ^ n unci a lion he could possibly hare tnadef observed more politic and wily politicians. ‘ Yes,’ said a political opno* ' * ’ ’ ’* * ’ * ‘and \ facotoijs Th« i nondescript, 'to take charge (f his sentiments, until the t election is over; and the first bulletin issued shall expres.s- tDbUuari’.

So much irregularity lias hitherto existed io the conduct of this hrnucli of tlm public service., that Ihe j correct amount has not been satisfactoiily obtained. Tlm I Gommitlee have examined tlm registry of bonds in tlm Ticum- ury, as well as in tin* Executive Department, and find some ] iliscrepaney lo exist as to the amount ot bonds in circulation, I By it report made to ilm last Legislatuie, tin* public debt was stated ut $l,6lli,l{35 72. In this esfinwiio, tlm debt of Reid, Irving, & Go., was stated at $147,169 52—it* true amount was $ 1-19,888 73. The debt due Bank of Augusta was re ported ut $308,926 25—when it was only $302,500; making ihe necessary correct inns, tlm debt then due would appear from the report to bo $1,61 1,133 93 Of tlm debt to lit id, Irving, & C’o., ili«* Committee are uiiicli gratified to nee tliat $50,000 Ims been paid during llie last political year.

It wns settled between them, that to every question uskod the prisoner io Court, be should reply in im itution of the barbing of a dog,—“bow, wow wow! When the cose wns called for triui, the prisoners’ counsel arose, nnd said to effect ns follows. “My | Lord, it is u rule of Law, that oo person can be brought to trial, or receive judgement, for any of fence however high, ii it nppeurs that be bus be come insane, nnd bereft ol reason.

The momentous questions (lieuarc, should they be discountenanced ? By whom? When? The Loafer would like to see the man having Oliver so little inlarosl m the welfare of society (and his as- -crtstlnt no one will be found so utterly destitute as to be without souie) who wiil calmly and deliberately contend lor their coNitinuiiucc.
