On this day week, the lots of land lotteried off by Georgia, which havo reverted to the State, will be grant ed to any person applying, at #26 per lot. Frum tilts Nuroe, it is ovpecled that the State will realise, on the fir»t dayuf the reversion, some fifteen or twenty thous. and dollars. Purchasers of uugranted lots, tenants in possession, and other* interested, had better attend to tbtir interests, on the first day of the griming, which will be the Jfcond day of September. Applications will bo received at the Treasury, at an early hour on that day. jTTlie Fund for the payment of the TEACHERS of POOR CHILDREN in 1842, and 1843. will be distributed by Governor Ciiawford about the 20; h September next. Let all interested take notice, so that those entitled to it, may not fail to reap some of the fruits of the present Whig administration. grin Alabama, the Democratic Nominee f 1 r Govt’r- ir, Sathaniel Terry, has been beaten by Joshua L, Martin, the independent candidate. This election tamed mainly upon thejfinancial affairs of tho State— Terry supporting the party in its previous tnaladminis- tniiutt of the State Banks, and State Treasury, while Msrtin went for retrenchment and reform. The result (m been that Marlin is elected by 4.000 votes, notwith. standing that Terry was the regular nominated party candidate. The people of Alabama, it seems, are de- teimined to let party arrangements alone for a while, and attend to the State’s finances. A good example for llie people of Georgia. U\\Ir. McAllister is charged by the Mu-on Messen. pr. with defending at the Indian Springs the policy of the Democratic Legislature of 1839. It was this Legislature that gave to the Central Bank the power of issuing money upon the notes of its debt- ■. It was this Legislature that repealed llio clauso in its charter, which provided that for every dollar issued there should be a specie one, or its equivalent, in the vaults of the Bank, to redeem it. It was this Legis'amrc that took from the POOR, the Poor School School Fund! It was tliis Legislature that farced the Treasury into its non specie payment position, and authorised the Central Bank to refuse specie payment for its bills I It was against the ruinous financial policy of this Legislature that Governor Crawford protested I Think of these things, people of Georgia! A GOOD OLD TEST. A Democrat of tho old school prescribed ability, and honesty, as the test by which a public officer, or one who ■ought office, should be tried. May it not be well for Ibe people of Georgia, Democrats, as well as Whigs, to apply this test to Governor Crawford, and to lei the mere politicians bluBler about affairs as foreign to the (me interests of the State, as England is to Mexico 1 Certainly the calm and reflecting of all parlies must think so I At no time in Georgia's history has there been demanded so imperiously a strict attention to her emu affairs, as there is now demanded of her people, ber Legislature, and her Executive. Every resource of the Slate, except taxation, is gone. Her treasury, with the exception of the Poor School Fund, which we hope under all circumstances will be sacredly devoted tothe education of the poor, must be replenished from taxation alone. Tho millions that were in the Central Bank have all been prodigally expended. The receipts from the granting of our fertile lauds arc all disposed of. The capital invested in the Darien Bank, if it lias nut taken wings to itself and flown away, might as well have done so, for it will never be restored, as it can no where be fonud. And nothing, nothing but that last of all resources, taxation, is left to defray the ex. pen,cs of Government and to pav Dip debts of tho State, True, the State has an unfinished Railroad, but it has already offered litis for sale, and haa met with not a solitary bidder. How unwise, how foolish then, will it be, to neglect, in tho coming elections, the calm con sideration of our State affairs, and the qualifications ol the candidates presented for their suffrages! Well may they go back to the time when capability and hon esty were prescribed as the test of a public officer’s continuance in office, and from that democratic rule, learn a valuable lesaon. We, at least, most fearlessly ••sort that our candidate for Governor lias proved linn- •elf possessed of these requisites, in the highest de. Central mousy, will never be forgotten. Many of them lost, aunts 60, some 40, sows 80 per cent, upon every dollar. And when it waa restored to par by the exer- tioneof the Governor, it was truly a day of rejoicing with the people. Than, all |iartioe saw merit in tho re- ‘(oration. Then, all men were loud in their praises of tiuvomor Crawford's energy wild ability. Then, with one voire, this measure, and its originator, were loudly applauded. But, no,r, Mr. McAllister is in the field, and editors and politicians seo differently. It wont do, now, to say that the State is greatly indebted to Gover nor Crawford. Oh no ! that would irtjuro Mr. McAI- I 'ter, and they have therefore changed their tune, and abuse what they, so short a time since, so highly ap probated. Such contemptible trickery, the people will never countenance I Tito restoration of spccio paymonts at tho Ticasury, and Central money to par, soon advanoed tho State se curities to par. Her bunds rose at. once, and a great saving was the consequence—for, by the advance of her hoods, additional thousands have been realized in their sale. This is another benefit of Governor Crawford’s administration. The legislature, too, in carrying out his policy, re. stored to the poor the fund for the education of their children, and provided means to pay the debts due to teachers of poor children in 1842 and 1843. Why did not Governor McDonald see these teachers paid,or re commend it to the Legislature! He recommended the Slate. College, where tho wealthy are instructed, very highly to the Legislature, but he could not think of the poor'. The same Legislature, too, carrying out Governor Crawford’s principles of economy, reduced their ownpay —(bus saving to the State 816^X)(). They provided also for the payment of the public debt, both foreign and domestic. The former, the Gov ernor has already reduced $100,000— while of the lat. lor, ho has paid, in arrearages due by Penitentiary, and by Governor McDonald, $50,000- In providing, too, to meet tho interest on the public debt, ho has enhanc ed the credit of the State by paying it in advance. This he has enabled the Treasury to do by good manage ment, v gilance, and strict economy. In connection with the above, Governor Crawford will restore to the Treasury noariy one-half of the gen eral funds appropriated to carry on his administration. Governor McDonald though spent every dollar he had, and owed thousands when his term of office expired.— Is there not, then, in the above, some evidence ofdislin- guished ability, and honesty, in Governor Crawford ?— If so, we ask the people, why apply any other rule to him, at the next election, than the good, old fasliiuned, democratic one—“is he capable ? — Is he honest ?” In other words, will lie protect our interests’” — will he seo the Government economically administered?—wil he save us from the evils of umiccoanary and heavy lax ation 1 Every heart "that's in its right place,” feels that lie will, and every honest tongue will proclaim it, despite the machinations of designing politicians I attempt made to excite tho worst possible feeling be tween people of the same Btate—members of the earn* family—hie recklesinesa in doing to, merit* the sever est reproof' Mr. McAllister cannot justify himself for so doing, Ilia apologists add only insult to injury when they attempt it for him. If lie really did onlertain tho -enliinciit* he expressed, Ito is unfit to be the chief mi- jin! rate of a people whom he no little knew—and if lie .hd not untertain them, but used them to secure the nor ihorn vote in Savannah, he is no loss unworthy of the peop.o's suffrages. Whatever position lie, or his friends, may now occupy in his defence, the language cannot bo blotted out, i or can the insult be forgotten. Tho peo ple of the wheat growing region are as true to the in stitution of slavery in ilia South, as any planter of the seaboard ; and who would be so rcckjyss, as to charge upon the latter any design inimical to its existence? Not a wheal grower wo feel certain. But wn will pass on. Mr. McAllister waa elected Senator from Chatham, ■nd 1t behooves the Whig pres* every where to notice it Ml promptly m possible, so that tho antidote may check the pernicious effects of the poiion. It is for this rea son, and that justice may ba done the Governor, that wc presume to interfere with the Recorder and Federal Union, in a contest between thn two, and not that we have any desire to snatch a laurel from the brow of the former, or to thrust ourself forward where we have no business. The charge above made, is. indeed a grave one. Not only is it a gravo one, lint it is one made by a prominent individual of his parly, who, under pecu liar circumstances, is temporarily editing the Icadicg organ of hie party. It is made too by a lawyer, consid ered by many as cniineiil in liy< profession; and it is made by the identical individual who was employed to index tho laws of the lust session, and who must havo examined those laws, ere he could have discharged his duty. In addition to all this, the serous nature of the I charge must strike every indiv dual at once. Wore and thou commenced his legislative catcer.

McALLISTER. We have urged, from time to time, serious objections to the election of this gentleman. Many of them, we learn, have received and are receiving, the serious con sideration of the people. This is all that we desire — for if, upon calm investigation, they think it best to dis place Governor Crawford, and elect one against Whom has been alleged, as we conceive, serious objec tions—if they would change the existing order of things — if they determine not to be content with the best ad ministration of the Government that the State has had for years—why, we must certainly bo content, and abide the decision of the majority. But we apprehend that quite a different feeling prevails. The politi cal, and public acts of the democratic nominee aro un dergoing seriou® investigation. The people aro weigh ing him in the balance. In their order, many of them are taking up some of his prominent acts, and October next will show what their verdict will be. VVo will again briefly refer to a few of them, by way of a re• fresher to our readers, as well as to renew our caution to the tax payers, the hardy yeomanry of our State, Forewarned, they will beforearmed;—and forearmed there will be a majority of them wo have no doubt ready to strike for the true interests of all concerned, The first entrance of Mr. McAllister upon tho public stage was as U. States District Attorney, during the ad ministration of John Quincy Adams. It can never be forgotten by the voters of Geortria, under what eircum stances this appointment was made, and accepted There was a conflict between this State and the Feder al Government, brought about by an attempt on the part of the latter, to bully Georgia out of her rights Military force was even threatened, aud a resort to the great civil tribunal—the Supreme Court—was had. In tho latter attempt, it was deemed essential to secure the services of an Attorney who would be a creature i the hands of the Federal Government. Mr. JIaber< 9IIAM indignantly refused to act the pm required of him and rosigut-d the office, with the declaration that “HE could no longer hold ii with honor to himself. 1 * Others refused to accept it—but Mr. McAllister did, upon, he says, certain conditions—that is, that he should not be compelled to prosecute the surveyors. For a long time, this was taken for granted—although, in the correspon- deuce between him and Mr. Habersham, in 1834, there 1 appears to be some doubt on the latter’s mind, whether J tho letter exhibited to him by Mr. McAllister was sent. I At any rate, Mr. Habersham distinctly intimates that | after he had seen it, alterations had been made. But ! be this as it may, the recent exposition of the Savan. j nab Republican, places Mr. McAllister in a most unen- I viable attitude. It shows plainly that deception of some 1 sort was practised, and it strengthens—in fact, establishes | —the charge of abandoning tho rights of Georgia in a day of sore trial, when the patriotism of all her noble the Central Bank to use that sum in meeting the B ulk outstanding liabilities. In answer to the above, we state, upon the authority of the record, that it is not true. Tho stocks owned by of them, we believe, go to rtinforco Gen. Taylor’* command.

Should their temerity carry them to such lengths, we trust they will be mot at the outset by a force that will teach them tiie prow. of our people, and how ridiculously Utopian is the idea that lead* them to believe they can cope with us in arcis any more than in artp. This humanity, as well is valor, demands of up; for, by a decisive stroke — mm that will inspire them with a due degree of ter. ror—thousands of poor wretches who will be dragged in chains from their homes, will, seeing the inter liope- leppiiOBsof their cause, save their lives by once mak- ng in double quick time, an advance backwards. What ever l he Ptrategy or manoeuvring of our enem CP, let them but but p'rovoke hostilities, and victory will cer tainly be found folded in the fl.ig of our Union. PUTNAM AND JONES SENATORIAL CON- VENTION. Jones County, August 2lst, 1845. Agreeably to a previous call, the I'utnam and Jones Whig delegafions met at Mr. Ethrridge’s, and on the recommendation of Major Marsh of Jones, Mr. John II. Clark look thn Chair, and Col. J. D. Dmmataki requested to act as Secretary. After a few and very appropriate remarks from Mr. Clark, the Convention was organized. There was a full delegation from both counties, with tho exception of three members, whose places were supplied with suitable persouK. Mr. William Etheridge, of Jones, then rose and pro. nosed the name of Col. Hardeman, as the nominee.— The Chair put it to the House, and Col. Hardeman was unanimously and by acclamation nominated as the whig candidate to represent the Senatorial District comnos. ed of Jones ami Putnam. Alter that, Mr. Alexander Harrison, of Putnam, introduced tho following resolu tions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That wo pledge ourselves to support the nomination of Col. Hardeman, and to use all lawful and honorable means to prom >ie his election. Resolved, That in the Convention to be held f"r the nomination of a Senator for the District in 1817, the selection of ihe name of tho individual Khali bo left to flic county of Putnam; aud that thereafter, the coun ties of Jones and Putnam shall alternately exercise the r glit of selection, unless it should be deemed most 'pru dent on the meeting of the Convention to act other- tothe requisitions made in the preceding resolutions upon the Central Bank of tie State of Georgia; aud every bank in the State of Georgia, bo required to make the same reports required of said Central Bank, in which the Stale is q Stockholder. If such legislation qualifies Mr. McAllister for the Chief Magistracy, we can only say, that ere long the tax payers of Georgia will be sole sufferers. Mr. McAllister is now understood to he an Anti- Bank man —hut a reference to his Senatorial acts prove him to he any thing else. In 1834 it being proposed to submit the question to the people whether Banks should be incorporated by the Legislature to build Railroads with, we find him not only voting against it, but he proved himself fin advocate of the policy. Not only this, but when a resolution was ottered providing that the branches of a Bauk should “not be placed within any incorporated town or city, contrary to the wishes of a majority of its citizens,” he voted against it. Here is TREASURER OP THE STATE, AND SAID STOCK SHALL HENCEFORTH BE UNDER IDS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL FOR THE PURPOSES AFORESAID.” Here is tho law under which Governor Crawford act ed! Here is the authority! Promptly did Governor Crawford sec that this last pittance for the poor was tak en from the Central Bank, and placed where their chil dren could reap, and have already reaped, some benefit from it. But the Editor of the Federal Union, like the leaders of his party generally, would have given it all to the Central Bank ! He indexed the laws, and did not see this section, or ventures to make at random a charge against Governor Crawford, which, if true, would have been violative of His Excellency’s most solemn obliga. j lions. But enough! The Editor of the Federal Union is bound to retract the charge ; whether though he does so or not, let tho people bo warned by this and efforts .. p,. , . . , rr ... • from other sources, of the daring attempts made to de an evidence of \us democratic pnncip'es. He would force i . ° . . , , . . coive them ! J here is not an Editor in the State, nor banks upon the people whether they desired them or not! I . . c , . ,, ?- , , i .. ,i . a leader of the Democratic party, but is well aware ol upon Mr. Cxurdon s amendment to a bill, providing 1 1 that if a “Bank shall fail, or refuse to pay its bills or Bank notes, its charter shall thereby be forfeited,” Mr. McAllister is found voting against it. An opponent now of corporations, or monopolies, he | voted for almost every bank charter, or company incor- > poration that was before the Senate while he was a mem- \ ber of that Body. He voted for the Georgia Railroad I company—for the Central Railroad and Ranking Com- i pany—for the Literary Bank of the State of Georgia—to extend the charter of the Planter’s Bank—for the Spald- ing Railroad—and, in 1836, we find him making the following motion—see Senate Journal, page 118. “ On motion of Mr. McAllister, the rule was sus pended and the bill from the House of Representatives ■ the great benefits which the people have derived from j Governor Crawford’s Administration. When, there fore, they detract from it, they know it, and do it wil- I fully ; and when they assail him, they know that they 1 are maliciously persecuting one, of whose ability and ! patriotism, every man in Georgia should be proud.

Rallying A committee of three, consisting ol Messrs. C. Pitts, W. Etheridge, and J. Freeman, was appointed by the chair to wait upon Col. Hardeman. Alter the regular business of the Convention was despatched, the Chair, on the recommendation of many members present, called upon Major Meriweiher, who was only a spectator, to address tho meeting. We have often listened to Major Meriwether bcf.iro the Jury .Mid before an assembly of the people, but never heard a dis course from him, considering its length, with so much liberality Mid forbearance to the opposite party — of such a dense and close argumentation, supported by an array of facts altogether incontrovortahle, and no doubt would have been unobjectionable even had it been de. livered before an assembly of the most extreme sect aud high bound Democrats. His mind appeared like a minor thin gathers and condenses all the scattering and radiating rays within its range into a burning focus.— He commenced by saying, that the Administration of Governor Crawford has been beneficial io the people—a reformation lias been introduced into the State Govern ment altogether unknown to many past Adiniui&trat o'.s The Penitentiary, which has been a source of expense and a grievous tax upon the honest labor of the people to support thieves and rubbers since 1816, lias been remedied under the prudential and economical admin* iHiralion of Governor Crawford. The credit of the State has been restored. Tho money of the Central Bank brought to par value—the Penitentiary, which since 1816 to 1843. has cost the State 8350,000, and now, instead of being burdensome to the State, lias lie. come a source of re . . u •; and therefore a consequent de crease of Taxation Upon the people. And all tins has been accornpliNbcd by Govern r Crawford and a Whig L 'gisl. uro; not by an increase of Taxes upon the people hut by a letrenchment aud reform ; lit* rally conforming lo the declaration made in his inaugural address, tbit no will ho the governor of thn people of Georgia and not of «i party ; by keeping honest andefficimil officers to manage and assist him in the affairs of the State, bn they Wings or Democrats. Texas is now a sovereign St a e, the Oregon is a component part of the Territory ol this Union ; but wc have nothing to do with them at present. It is our duty to attend to our immediate anil private concerns; tho management of the affairs of our State Government. How can this be done to the greatent advantage to tho people, but by the e cotion of the samo individual ; the same architect who commenced tins beneficial reform. We forbear making any further re marks upon this very able discouts. Wo weie fully convinced that wore Governor Crawford a Democrat and conducted the affairs of the government in that equitable, economical and beneficial manner, which has so emi nently distinguished bis past administration, we would from the love ol country, from motives of interest and for the general welfare of our fellow citi/una, havo supported him, independent of all party feeling or po litical associations. It was moved by Mr. William Etheridge, that the proceedings of this Convention be signed by the Presi dent ami Secretary, and be published in the Whig jour nals of Millodgeville.

And on page of 131 of the Senate Journal it will bo found that Mr. McAllister also voted to give this Rail Road BANKING PRIVILEGES. The people who have suffered 60 much by the MON ROE RAIL ROAD RANK will hardly thank Mr. McAllister for his agency in creating it. Had it not been for him, the honest voters of Monroe, Pike, Bibb, Junes, Henry, and indeed all over the State would have been saved great loss. And had it not been for him, around Ihe “starsami stripes” of the nation, with one voice the peoplo of Georgia call for a vigorous prose- cuii-mof the war, and are ready to furnish her quota of men and arm*, like the Louisiana Volunteers, at an hour's notice.

But let him speak for himself. On the 4th day of July, in that year, when other, and patrio ic sentiments alone should have escap ed his lips, he thus slandered the peoplo of the up-coun* iry whose votes he is now asking. “No, my countrymen, it is from a different quarter we must expect interference with our rights. Look not at the distant horizon for the coming tempest, when ihe thuiidcr-cloud may he ready to burst over your heads!

Tlit the counties above named, would not have been bam boozh d out of their hard earnings. The above is merely an outline of Mr. McAllister’s Legislative acts. Others we could refer to, hut wo have already extended our remarks to a great length, aud must close. If, in them, tho people do not see a want of foresight, and a duo regard for their interests, then will we be very muen disappointed. One whose legislation has proved so icckless—so di6regardlul of the people’s true interests—so careless of the State’s— will hardly make a discreet or prudent Governor.— True he may be violently opposed to the Tariff, and he no doubt advanced as far as he could, Mr. Polk’s elec tion. But the Tax Payers of Georgia, just at this time, think, that it is as well in the coming election to take care of themselves, and they mean to do so. They want a wise, a prudent, and an economical Governor, and if Mr. McAllister’s friends cannot show that he will make just such a one, they will bo very apt to reject his services.
