In Hie last number of the Csaaville Pioneer, the Ed
itor say*, that, “it has been rumored that Governor
Crawford la so entirely under the influence of the
Georgia Railroad company, in which we believe he is
interested-toth* amount til aighty share*, that lie in-
tende sailing the State Ruad, in the event of Mr. Mc
Allister’* election,'’ in order to benefit the Georgia
Railroad and tbo oily of Charleston. The Editor also
aaya—“If this rumor i* true (and we pen thit article that
it may be reefed if false) wo can call the intended act
nothing but treason,” flic. Hi* article then winds up
with aa appeal to tha people to fight valiantly against
thia supposed treason, and against the "grasping corpor
alinn” that it to he benefite d hy it. Now all we have
to say in reply to aueh a rumor, is that it is falte.
Governor Crawford doea not intend to sell the Rail
road if Mr. McAllister ia elected—and when he did
oflbr it for aal* in 1644, he limited the time
for receiving proposals to the 1 tl March 1845. The con
dition* too upon which he would receive bids were id-
vertised in the newspapers, and among them waa the
following:
“The purchaser ahall give equal privilege! anifacili-
lies to the Monroe Railroad and Georgia Railroad
companies, in tha transfer of passenger* and property,
.in i any discrimination whatsoever adopted or permitted
in lavor of either of said branch roads, with respect to

Stain a majority in the approaching Congress in both

mod platform to retreat and rally on in such an
’ eaergency, to support the protective policy, they
■anuided the General, who ia himself a good and
honest Southern Democrat, to frame a bill with them,
oa the notable principle of “getting what we could

Hot be carried in the Senate, where the Whigs had a

Administration, and supported by the Northern Demo,

ptmise and yield, by which the principle of protection
will be retained; so that when you submit and are die-

The aboye proves whether Governor Crawford inten-

simple justice, by contradicting the rumor through hit

THE CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR.
A circular, marked confidential, addressed by tbe
Hon. James A. Meriwether to certain Whigs in Geor
gia, has found ita way into the column* of the Consti
tutionalist, and that paper has lashed it most terribly,
mainly because it urge* upon those to whom it is ad
dressed secret effort in favor of the Whig cause. Now
ia it not strange that objection should be made to Mr.
Meriwether’s circular, by the press of that party, whoso
Central Committee were in secret conclave only a few
week* ago at Athens, and who have issued their own
circular* and directions to their political friends in eve
ry section of the State! Ieit not strange that Mr.
Meriwether’s circular should alarm and make indig.
nant thoae who in a late canvass, adopted the following
rule* of conduct, and who, we are informed, are act
ing upon the very same principles now ?
“The Democratic Associations in each county were to
appoint Executive Committees.
“They were to meet for the purpose of appointing a
Captain of Democratic minute men, for the whole pre
cincts, or for each ward school districts, militia district,
or other subdivision of its territory as circumstances
may require.
“That the Captain* appoint as many lieutenants aa
the service may requite, and forthwith proceed to enrol
all devoted Democrats within their limits who are ready
and willing to serve the Democracy at a minute's warn
ing.
“That tlm Captain and lieutenants, with such minute
men »s may be detailed for the service, proceed forth
with to make out two lists—one of all voters, in the
company bounds, designating the democrats and wliigs,
putting into a separate column, headed "doubtful," the
names of all whose opinions are unknown, and all of
every party who are easily managed in their opinions or
conduct; the other list to embrace all minors approach
ing maturity, and all men, not entitled to vote.
“That the Captain of the Democratic mmute men ap
point a time and place of rendezvous, early on the first
morning of the election, and detail minute men to wait
upon and, if possible, bring with them every doubtful
voter within the company bounds.
“That, if practicable, some suitable refreshments be
provided for the company at the place of rendezvous,
and their ardor kindled by patriotic, conversation; that
each man be furnished with a ticket with the names of
the candidates, that it is to be impressed upon them
that the first great business of the day is to give their votes',
that they are expected and required to march to the polls
iu a body and in perfect silence; to avail themselves of
the first opportunity to vote, and never to separate until

Extracts from handbill of Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
In August last, the Editor of tho Constitutional,
ist wrote to his paper, that at a caucus held by the
leaders of the Democratic parly at Athens, a plan
of organization had been adopted, which in due
time he would communicnte. His last weekly
contains a long and windy article upon a circular
said to have been issued by the Whig Executive
Committee, warning tho Whigs against the frauds
which might originate from that midnight conclave
which secretly assembled at Athens. A private
und confidential letter it seems was addressed to a
Whig; he permitted a Democratic neighbor to take
it to read—the neighbor, in violation of tho confi.
dance which one gentleman reposes in another,
dishonorably copies it, and sends it to the Editor
fur publication ; he, nothing scrupulous, counten-
unces the perfidy, publishes tho circular, and vain
ly attempts to unswer its (ucts. Now is there an
honorable man who would not condemu this breach
of honorable confidence! And had the Editor
acted aa became him, he would have sent the letter
hack to Itis correspondent—told him his conduct
was perfidious, and thnt his paper should not be de
filed by announcing such treachery ? But no—auy
thing to make i> vote.
While the Editor was publishing this circular
and attempting to produce prejudice iu the public
mind against the Whigs, hr »«* himself, with the
leaders of his parly guilty of one of the must slu-
nendous frauds upon the eiectivo Vanohise which
ever disgraced tho .minis of party warfare. X
regular syslotn had been concocted by whii h that
portion of tho Democratic party which chose to
vole as they pi-.used, were lobe forced from their
own opinions, «nd like tluves were to be driven to
the polls under the command of musters, aud there
deposit their voles as they directed. The details
ot their plans are too extensive to be here recited—
hut the lenders of the Democratic party were to ,
hunt up all "moderate Whigs,” and induce them to
take and read such newspapers and documents as
presented the Democratic cause favorably—they
wore to permit no occasion to puss when in tho
presence of “moderate Wliigs,” of speaking fa
vorably of Democracy—they are to entice them to
attend their meetings, and hear what was to say—
they were to avoid all angry discussions, and pri
vately convcrso wirit “moderate Wliigs," and per.
suade them to go with them, twid especially to ope-
rate secretly. To all this, if no fraud be used, nu
one would object. But now conies the villainous
part, by which the independent aud thoughtful ero
to he forced to do, not us they desired, but as the
leaders said. A system of military discipline was
to ho established ; aud all who thought thnt perhaps
it might bo well to “lot well enough alone,” were to
be placed under the commund of cuptnins, who
hould gather them together on the morning of tho
election—liquor them freely—excite their “ardor
by patriotic conversation"—and then require them
to march to the polls, like galley slaves, silently,
and vote—and tlioy were not to be permitted to
separate without doing so- The Democratic As.
sociations in each county were to appoint Execu-
liveCommittees—they wero to meot “for the pur.
pose of appointing a Captain of Democratic min
utc men. for the whole precincts, or for eaclt ward,
school district, militia district, or other subdivision
of its territory,as circumstances may require.
“That the Captains appoint as many lieutenants as
the service may require, and forthwith proceed to en
rol all devoted Democrats within their limits who are
ready and willing to serve the Democracy at a minute's
teaming.
“That the Captain and lieutenants, with such minute
men aa may be detailed for the service, proceed font,. '
with to make out two lists—nne of all votes, in the
company bounds,designating the democrats and whigs
putting into a separate column, headed "doubtful," the
names of all whose opinions are unknown, and all of
every parly who are easily managed in their opinions
or conduct ; the other list to embrace all minor* ap
proaching maturity, and all nmn not entitled to vote.
“That the Captain of the Democratic minute men.
ippninl a time and place of rendezvous, early on the first
nii.rniiigof election, and, detail minute men towait upon
<ud, if possible, bring with thorn every doubtful voter
rtthin the rompany bound*.
“That, if practicable, tome suitable refreshments be
provided for the company at the place of rendezvous,
and their ardor kindled by patriotic conversation ; that
each man be furnished with a ticket with tbe names of
the candidates, that it is to be impreaeed upon them
that the fiset great business of the day is togite their
votes; that they are expected and required to march
to the poll* ia a body sad in .perfect silanea ; to avail
ibeaasalvea of the first opportunity to vale, aud never
nod after it is delected, and attempted to be defeat.
<>d—the very men who have concerted it—rail out
most lustily against the measures end the inen,
who seek to save the country from such corruption.
Hut this was to bo expected, and the more conscious
they are of their guilt, the more desperate will he
their efforts to destroy the influence of those who
tiuva brought their wickod deeds to light. Will
any man of nny pnrly, countenance this system of
corrupt and fraudulent sporting with the rights of
the American citizen. And yet this is the plan,
uod those the mounsnflhe democratic office-seek-
orn to cheat aud to force the people from their con
victions of their duty to their country, and regnr I
I, r« of all propriety, and of those duties In pui
themselves into the hands and under the dictation
uL’u set of politicians and office seekers, who cure
f'lsr themselves, and ho ono else. Are the people
willing m surrender the henefii* of a good govern,
n lent for lue privilege of being hauled and pulled
a bout by a lew arrogant leaders! We hope not.
And to aid them in this work, the office seekers
hoive employed a aet of lawyers to edit their news
papers for the present campaign. No less than
eight lawyers have been employed to carry out
tlaeir plans in the present election. Some have
beien employed at extravagant fees. H. V. John-
•o,n of the Federal Union, lias been employed at a-
I) out One Hundred Hollars per week, to argue the
c suse of the office-seekers, who have practiced this
liuud nml force upon the people. He is likewise
cl luirmau of the democratic executive committee.
We have Mr. McAllister a candidate fur Gov
error, who has no other interest whatever but that
of a lawyer ; he does not earn his bread by the
•treat of ilia brow. He has feod lawyers employ
ed in his behalf—and the whole country is to be
putt under contribution to elect him. Will not eve
ry independent voter lend his help to defeat such a
fra .ud upon the elective franchise, as hat been here
ex posed ! and will he not feel himself bound hy
ov, try duty to himself, his country and posterity.
uoLonly to act himself, but to arouse Itis neighbors
wlvether whig or democrat to act, and defeut a par
ty Which is thus endeavoring to sap the very fuuu
dations of his government. There must he some,
thing wrong, in tho effort making by these office
see'kers—if they designed nothing but wliat was
rigllt, they would not take such extraordinary steps
tu tuiain their object.
', r lie extracts given above, are the same, as con
tained in a circular sent to the President of a demo-
critic association ill one of our counties; who read
it—threw it down, and pronouncing it "infamous,”
refused to act upon it. BURKE.

best, al which lie laughs loudest; and in mute silence,
and with breathless interest, are the details of bags o:

is caressed, honored, and adored; while real merit,
with a mind, which, if developed, might sway nations
and govern tbe fate of men, remains forever obscured,
because its dwelling is a poor man's breast, and its
possessor clothed in a garb of poverty. Yea, iu my re,
flections, I believe I went even beyond this, and tliougl
that 1 had sometimes knuwn even the basest villa it y
sanctioned, tho most un pardonable ignorance toleratod,
and tho coldest hearts sought, because their posseseoru
had heaped together a little moro of earth's glilmriilg
sands, could count more dimes, drove finer and faster
horses, and sent more cotton to market than ihnir
neighbors. Men form their opinion too of them by cx
ternal appearances; they judge sometimes of the in

meanest and most despicable minds find adwelling un
der a beautiful exterior, anti that the “whitened sepul

It is to wealth that tbe proud world bows. Where they
find a golden shrine, there the vows of friendship art
paid, and there too worship the deceitful crowd of pro.
tended admirers.

PROFESSION AND PRACTICE.
If I mistake not, in June last, Col. Johnson, the Edi
tor of the Federal Union, in his letter to Doctor Fort,
withdrawing hie name from the Democratic Couveu-
tio'i, as a candidate for its nomination fur Governor,
begged io do battle under any standard bearer the Con.
vemt.ion might select. This is what 1 call inlun'eeri.tg.
l’lie letter waB an outpouring of a patriotic heart, just
convinced by a count of his strength in the Convention,
that "he could not come it this tune”—hut meaning to
entue it the next. 'Twas a bitter pill—this postpone
ment to Mr. McAllister, but in the hands of sn skilful
a physician as Doctor-Fort, now could tin Colonel do
otherwise than swallow it with asm .,g face, and a
delightful Sardonic smirk, uttering lh.it consolatory
sentiment, to give grace tu the reluctant act—“I re
joice that Spar's lias many a worthier son than I.”
In a few short weeks alter all of this patriotic, fanfar
onade, I find this volunteer regularly enlisted for
ihe political campaign as tho Editor of Ihe Federal
Union ; and it is said openly, and has never been deni
ed by any Democrat, so far as I know or believe, that
he has received, oris to receive, for his editorial servi
ces in the campaign, the moderate sum of one thousand
dollars.
Now 1 can’t reconcile this mercenary service, bargain
ed and paid for, with the flourish of trumpets and parade
of "askingthe poor privilege” of being permitted to do
battle as a volunteer.
One orator, on the evening of that convention, in tbe
exhuberance of bis joy, spoke of the CoIoiioI’b declina
tion, and doing battle under Mr, McAllister's banner, ae
‘•Godlike.” "Gudlike”!!! Why Ibis is rich. TlieJu-
piter of the Federal Union thundering away during tin,
dry summer (and no rain ensuing) for a thousand dot
tors ! Dealing bis hot sulphurous bolts on the right and
the left, as lie is hired for so many pieces of silver I—
“Godlike"!!! I thank the orator for the word.
Had Mr. Johnson, without pay or the promise of pay
wilhnut a “bargain” which he loathed so much last
year, edited the Federal Union until October, lie would
have furnished strong evidence of sincerity and uusei-
fisiHiess ; and in tbe political game he is playing with
such i.oamness, such conduct would have been a.
trump in Ins hand. Vaulting ambition hath overleapi
itself. He.stands now befuru the public gaze peculiarly
distinguished as the only hired, mercenary editor in
Georgia. He may perhaps learn when age shall have
softened down the asperities of an irascible temper,
and brought along with it moro discretion, that in poli
tics, as in religion, profession must be accompanied by
practice, to exempt either the preacher or politician
from tbe imputation of hypocrisy.
AN OBSERVER.
[ From the N. Y. Sun, 15 h insl.]
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
Yucatan Revolutionized and independent.
The counter wave in favor of free government, which
our Yucatan correspondent predicated a few weeks ago,
has been set in motion. Tito patriotic and intelligent
Republicans of that ancient country are once more tit
the enjoyment of an enlightened Bystem of self gov
eminent, lor the faithful admiuistratiun of which tlici ‘
own stalwart frame and virtuous Hvch are the surer,
guarantees.
This gratifying m'elligonce comes to us by the
brig Joseph Atkins, Captain Higgins, al this purl,
twenty-six days from Tobasco, Mexico.
On the 9th of last month the Yucamnnese under
Gen. Daruuo took possession of a Mexican schooti.
cr of War, and having placed on hoard of her all
tho Mexican functionaries mid soldiers in that stale,
ordered her captain to sail with thorn for Vera
Cruz, whence sho departed immediately. Site had
been despatched hy the Mexicans to levy men nnd
money for tho Texian war, bulthe people of Yu.
catan had suffered too much already from tho op-
pressive tyranny of the central government ; tin
immediate separation was resolved upon nnd car
ried out in the manner stated, without shedding n
drop of blood. Tho slate government was at once
changed to a national one, retaining all the repub
licati principles which have distinguished the citi -
zetis of thul state.
A letter from the City of Mexico was received
at Tobasco on the 17th ult., two days before the
Joseph Athen* sailed, announcing the departure of
six thousand troops for tho Tuxian frontier.—
The government of Tobasco hnd not chang
ed since last udvices, hut that and sumo of tho
adjoining stales will probably rally around the
standard of Yucutun.
curs which compels a consul to (trike hi* Ifog, that
consul is always sent back when the affair U net
tled. The mussulmcu government* take •drain
age of every Christian power which is not firm and
decided on this point. Properly explained and
apart from intrigue, the Moorish Government can
have no objection to receive Mr. C»rr.
In favor or Marriaoe.—Power*, the sculptor, wr '
ing to a friend of what somo people call tha folly f
marrying without the mean* to support a Ismily, ex
presses frankly Itis own fear* when he found himself m
this very position; but, he adds with characteristic
candor, “to tell you ihe truth, however, the fmnily and
the poverty have done more to support me, than than
support them. 'They have Compelled me tomska pro,
tious that I hardly thought myself capable of, sad often,
when un the eve of despairing, they have forced ms,
like a coward in a corner, tu fight like a hero, not for
myself, hut my wife and little ones. I have now ss
much work 10 do as I can execute, unless I can find
some more assistance in the marble', and I have a pros
pect of furl her commissions.” N
The (ru.'/t us expressed above by the gifted sculptor
is liko a similar remark we heard made no: iur.g
by a gentleman of Boston, who tried matrimony in tiiu
same way. ami found afterwards that the ' .0-:c chtUtgo
in Ins pocket which |te had squandered, in “foolish po
tions”—young men's whims—as he c.-.licd them, .ty ,s
enough to support a prudent wife, who, ky a well rege
lated economy had proveda fortune- in hersc-lf, and ftul
s it- il a snug sum >n money for her once careless hits-
hand. “A wife te direct small towards a proper ,-ieiji-
t ion and to a genteel economy," said, was like a time
ly succor at sea, ro save him from destruction on a pe
rilous voyage. — Bos. Trans.
A Warmkk Rumor.—A Washington correspondent
of Hi- N. Y. Courier has been informed, on very gcod
authority, of steps taken by the President and hi*42ab-
inet, which lead to Hie belief that they are convinced
Mexico will adopt hostile measures- Also, that tbe
Governors of the Stales of Missouri, Arkansas,Mis*
tiissippl and Alabama have been notified-that the mili
tia of their Slates will probably be required for service
in consequence of I he stale of affair* a* relate* to
Texas and Mexico, and that they have therefore been
requested to Itold themselves in readiness to comply
with any requisition for men which may be mode upon
them, 'This certainly looks warlike, and if it show*
nothing else, shows Hint Mr. Polk ts tusking prepara

WHIG NOMINATIONS FOR TIIE SENATE.
1st District—Chatham
itryan
-BENJAMIN SNIDF.It.
[roR THE OEOROIA JOURNAL.]
Mr. Editor;—The course of tho Democratic party
in L'o ogress has left no one to doubt that as a party, they
inte nd! to stand by and support the cause of the aboli
tionists. The repeal of the rule rejecting their po-
titrons—the reception and reference of them—the cor
diality with which they amalgamated with John Quin
cy Adams, and rnado him their leader, have all con
spired to fill many honest hearted Democrats in Geor
gia w : tth fear as to tbo future. They, with many zeal,
oua Whigs, hare been induced to believe that there
must, at a very near day, be a bold and resolute stand
take 11 by both parties at the South against the Northern
Democrats. How this shall be done is the great ques
tion ; and yet it can be effectually done in the next
Prasislcntial election. The Wliigs have always known
that the Northern Democracy wore the Abolition party,
aud J tavp so stated. Yet because John Quincy Adams
Lapp ens to belong to the Wliigs, the Southern Democ
racy have succeeded in blinding the eyes of the people,
and making them believe that tills was not so.
T he fact is gaining moro oxtensive knowledge every
day, that wliat lias been charged against the Democra
cy :is true, and the members of that party now begin to
ack nowledge it. The question is being mooted very
oflt -o, whether, laying aside political differences, the
Southern Wliigs, in view of tho faithlessness of the
Northern Democracy,should not unite in electing Mr.
Calhoun President.
A few days since, a Whig, in convcrsatinn with a
Democratic Member of Congress from Get rgla, asked
the ,distinguished gentleman whether if the Whigs, in
view of the interest of the South, should conclude tr
support Mr. Calhoun, would the Georgia Den-,,,. ,.'sdi
so likewise? To which he replied, they would not, un
liess he was nominated by a National Convention.'
1 This answer is an important fact—1 shows u-that,
* while that party are exciting the feelings oftlie Ko:.
on questions connected with us ititeiests, they ha
determined to nurrendsr her up to the counsels of Hit-
North—that Ihe views and opmlous uf Ihe Northern
Democrats upon the Tariffand Slavery shall be forced
down upon ps, willing cruol witting; mid whatever is
acceptable to Northern Democrats oil the subject of
Slavery, Hie South shall swallow. Wp hare now the
reason why trie last Democratic Convention in Georgia
adopted aa their principles those of the Baltimore Con-
vention. Henceforth the policy of the party in Georgia
is to be made to conform to the policy of the party all
over the free States. State rights are to be destroyed,
and among them the right to our negroes.
Let every ntau remember this when bo goes to the
poll* in October uext; and if he is in favor of giving up
the right to tbe control of Itis negroes to Northern
Democrats; if ho is willing to surrender the right it
self to thair opinion, letliim vote for Mr. McAllister—
but if lie ie opposed to such anti State Rights doctrine,
let him vote for Governor Crawford.

Some patient Italian lias managed to train some half
dozen dogs to dance, and they waltz, dance the Polka,
