RESIGNATION OP WASHINGTON POE.
Our readers will find in our paper ofto-dry lire com
munication ef Washington Poe, Esq., tendering his
resignation as a Representative in Congroee from the
2d Congressional District. They will also find an ar
ticle from the Macon Meesengor suggesting the 12th
day of November next, aa a suitable time for Whig
delegates to meet at Thomaaton, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate to fill the vacancy occasioned
ly Mr. Poi’e resignation. While the resignation of
Ur, Poe cannot but be regretted by all who-ltnow him,
as be ieagontleman of fine -talents, a thorough going
Whig and would truly and.ably represent the Whigs
in the 3d district—yet that regret is somewhat lessen
ed from the lact that the Whig parly in the district is
fivored with a large number of gentlemen who are also
capable of representing (hem ably in -Congress, and
who they can without doubt elect, if they will go to
the polls. We have seen the names of CoL Towns,
oalhepartofthsJDemocrats and6. R. Blake, Esq. on the
-part of the -Whigs, suggested through the Macon pa
pers, te the consideration ef their friends- Either Mr.
Blake, or Dm Sinead, of Talbot, who lately beet Col.

srs. Hill, Strong, Nesbit, Gresham, and others,
could beat Col.Towna very easily. Last year, un
der adverse circumstances, Mr. Poe defeated-Col. Chap
pell—and this year the Whig majority ie 436. Let
the Whig delegatee assemble, consult, and put forth
their strongest man, and there is no doubt of his elec,

Liveupool Cotton Market, Sept. 26.—There is
no alteration whatover to notice in the price of cotton
this week. The demand, which has been moderate
only, has been fairly met by holders, but there has been
no pressing to sell. 0500 American havo been taken on
speculation, and 400 American, 200 J’ernams and 200
Egyptian for export. 150 Egyptian, 300-Barbadoes and
hOO Madras, are declared fur auction on Friday next.
The total number-of -sales during the week amount to
26.40(1 bales. Another report says, a general dullness
has pervaded the market during the week, the trade bav
in-,' purchased sparingly, and speculators only to a mod-
ale extent.; nevertheless, prices do not perceptibly give
way, though in tome isetancee -rather lower rates have
been accejitod.
THE LEGISLATURE—WHAT IS TO BE DONE.
The Legislature about to assemble bore ia » few
mored-iys, will present, in its different branches, differ,
nut political aspects. The6enatewill .be, -by a small
majority, a Democratic Senate.; and the House, by a
majority a trifle larger, will be a Whg House of Rep
resentatives. Upon joint ballot, therefore, the Legis-
lature will be decidedly Whig.; but as it is not our in
tention, in this article, to view the Body iu any light
touching its joint action in the election of Stale officers,
tllhougli even in this respect ils action may bo consid
ered important, we shall pass it by without further com.
dent, and addross eur remarks, first, to

—and whan thia is tho case, as it now is, the House,
like the Senate, in the reduction of its members, has a
decided advantage nver the representative branches of
the General Assombly of recent years. The majority
in it too, will be Whig. Upon that par’y then, will
most of the responsibility rest. We believe that they
will fearlessly meet it, and that their action upon all
questions of general interest to the people will display
a patriotic effort to elevate Georgia, at well in the esti
mation of hor own sons, as in that of her sister States
of the Union, In glancing over the names comprising
(his body, we find that there are very many new mem
ber! ; we miss, too, several who had long'proved them
selves valuable members ; but, as a whole, it is a high
ly reapeotable body, with hero and there, icattered
among the members, shining lights, from whom much
is expected by a confiJing people.
imrsrtant subjicts for legislation.
The Legislature of 1815, assembling as it docs, un
der such peculiar and favorable appearances, can ei.
ther make for itself fame, or render itself a bye-word
of reproach. No middle ground can it occupy before
the country. It has a solemn duty to discharge, which
patriotism calls loudly for. Heretofore legislation in
Georgia haa been loose, wild, discreditable. But few
are Ihe instances whero the good which a majority ef
fected, has not been overshadowed by too great a delin
quency in other important respects. It will not be so
we hope for the future. A vigilant Executive will com
municate, we presume, the wants and resources of the
State. Let the Legislature respond in its wisdom!—
Let them do, aa the people have lately done—let them
act for the good of the State ! First, let them lay a
solid foundation to pay offtho
STATE DEBT.
This can easily be done. Georgia hates tho very
idea of repudiation. The representatives of the peo
ple scorn even the thought. Our debt, then, both for
eign and domestic, must be paid. Tho interest on
each must be provided for. It will bo for the Legisla
ture to provide the ways and Ihe mcans-and, iu doing
so, another important subject will necessarily prcscut
itself to their consideration. We mean
TAXATION.
Of all questions that ever present themselves to
Legislative assemblies, this is the most important of
them all. When clear of debt it is even then an em
barrassing subject, and one which the timid and the
demagogue always, if possible, avoid. No tax laws
have been more imperfect and unequal, than those of
Georgia. In times of prosperity this has been over-
looked and tolerated. But it cannot he any longer. A
crisis lias arrived when the Legislature must efficiently
act. We have no moro lands to draw revenue from,
and our Treasury and Central Bank have no resou
ces save what come from the pockets of the people.
The squandering of past years has caused a’ l this, and
now, “the hour and tho time" has arrived when tho
eclravagance of days gone by, lias to bo paid for. How
and in what manner tho Legislature will dispose of
this subject, we pretend not to say. We merely inti
mate that a revision of our tax laws, or the adoption of
Borne other system, will be demanded, and that, we
hope, and believe, they will meet tho responsibility it
devolves upon lliem like men and patriots.
education.
This is another important subject for the considera
tion of tho Legislature. Tho education of tho poor
one of the most important branches of it. The exam
ple sot by tho State in the fostering of Franklin Col
iego—and by the various religious denominations, in
Mercer, Emory, and Oglethorpe Universities, should
not be without its influence on the Legislature: But
we are decidedly of the opinion that their first step in
advancing this sacred cause, should bo directed to that
which will most benefit the poor. Let them, therefore,
again turn their attention to a common school system I
It is by some 6uch Bystem that the poor must be in
structed, if instructed at all. And. to make a begin
ning, let them remember that Governor Crawford has
saved of the poor school fund $262,000 !—a handsome
sum devoted to a noble purpose.
the state railroad.
This work will also command the attention of the
Legislature. A great deal has already been ex
pended upon it, but as much as lias been, we will ven
ture the assertion that the expenditures of the two last
years, have been mere profitable to the State than any
heretofore made. It is though, for the Legislature to
say, whether the Road shall go on to completion, and
prove profitable to the State, or whether it shall be stop,
ped, and prove, almost a total Iosb. To doubt the ac
tion of tho Body, under such a state of things, would
he almost insulting. We believe that the work will
progress, by order of the coming legislature, and that,
in a few more years, Savannah and Augusta will bo
connected by the iron band with the rich Western
States.
THE COURT OF ERRORS.
We think this Court ought to be organized during
the coming session. Our laws Bhoulil be uniform and
this cannot be without the court for the correction of
criors, What is law now in ime circuit, according to
the decisions of different Judges, is not law in another
circuit. In the one, a man is compelled to pay heavy
damages; or suffers otherwise, while in the other, a man
sued, or prosecuted upon the very same principles, es
capes unhurt. L-feand properly cannot l-esecure under
such a system. There must be a head or basis to eve
ry thing, and the Judiciary system of Georgia is with
out it. But more than all this, the constitution requires
tho establishment of such a court, and we hope that
the legislature will not adjourn without organizing it.
Other subjects of importance will also be before the
Legislature. The Penitentiary, the Lunatic Asylum,
the Deaf and Dumb charity, the Central Bank as it
now stands, will all command much of the attention of
the Body, and will each require an investigation of its
affairs. Upon them wo might descant, but wo prefer
waiting the Reports of tho various heads of these dc
partments, which will umv soon be made to the Legis
lature. We will therefore close, with tho hope, that
the next Legislature will he as justly celebrated fur the
wisdom of ils action, as others have been justly notori
ous lor the fully of theirs.
GOVERNOR CRAWFORD.
Now that the ulection is over, the Democrats, or some
of them at least, appear to do justice to Governor Craw
ford, While a candidate, it was otherwise. Before
his nomination loo, there was no objection to his ad
ministration, and, if we are not mistaken, it was so an
nounced in more <han ono ef tlieit presses. But no
sooner waa he nominated than detraction commenced
its work. We will not paiticularize, fur it is well
known how, anonymously, and over responsible names,
his official conduct was misrepresented, and how stren
uous the efforts were, to deceive the public in relation
to the State’s affairs. It is all over now though, and
we are pleased to see that the Charleston Mercury,
which,! abort lime befora tho election, threw tho weight
uf ils influence againl Governor Crawford, in a short
paragraph, laudatory of Mr. McAllister and wishing
him succese, now neon ouch language ae tho following:
"Tho Georgia oteslion, at our readers are aware be
fore this time, Ins gone for tho Whig*. We shall not
the political caoi
this election. Without him they would have been
beat altogether. It waa therefore a great political
blander in Hie Demacrsts to oppose hint, anil so' to
turn the contest Upon the election of Governor rather
than the Legislature. If they had let him alone and
fought for the Legislature only, they would have tri
umphed."— Charleston Mercury.
Thefollowing from the Constitutionalist too, written
from Charleston, givos similar testimony. We present
it also to our readers, as they well know how Governor
Crawford's administration was anonymously assailed in
that paper during the late canva*s.
Charleston, Oct. 11.1845.
Afr. Editor.—I presume that a letter from thia city
may bo made aa interesting to your readers as any thing
that could, at this time, be indited by the same pen in
the city of Augusta. I therefore avail myself of my
viait here, to give a sketch of bucIi matters as have at
tracted my attention.
The cars which brought the Clinch Engine Company
to Charleston, also brought accounts which gave a
pretty clear indication of the result of the e'ection in
Georgia, to far as regards the Governor. It showed
clearly that tho pcoplo of Georgia had declared in
favor of continuing the present Executive in office.—
One might st first suppose, that this intelligence,com.
ing to a community so thoroughly Democratic, would
have been rather unpalatable. This, however, is not
the (act. A Democrat from Georgia will meet but
small sympathy ameng his fellow Democrats here, in
the most intelligent circles of practical business men.
There are no politics here, having in view more party
strength, irrespective of their operation upon the busi
ness affairs oflife, and the permanent interests of soci
ety. Tho election of Gov. Crawford i» not here consid
ered a party triumph, but an evidence of his personal
popularity, and of tho satisfaction hia administration
has given to the people of Geogia. The people of
Charleston arc deeply interested in tho financial condi
tion of Georgia, amt having great confidence in the abil
ities and discretion of Gov. Crawlord, were loth to sec
any change in the office.”
Now, the use which we would make of the above
extracts must be apparent to our readers. Before the
election, every Democrat waa urged to stand up to the
party nominee, and ho who would not waa denounced
as a traitor, or had to bear tho taunts of hia political
friends. To this class of our fellow citizens, wo ad-
dresoed words of encouragement—we told them that
they wore right, and that time would provo them so.
VVe told them to heed not the exhortations of their
party presses, or party leaders—and to mind not the
misrepresentations afloat, for that, after the election,
truth and justice would prevail. And now, two weeks
have scarcely passed away—the smoko of the battle is
hardly lost to tho sight—when from turn Democratic pa-
pers we are able to extract the above. Let then those
democrats who voted for Govornor Crawford, and who
were reproached for so doing by party leaders, point out
these extracts to their brethren—and lot them rejoice
that the trammels of party exercised no influoneo over
them, whou conscience pointed one way, and parly lead
ers another!
THE TREZEVANT CLAIM.
Our readers havo no doubt seen the claim of Peter
Trezcvant, against the State ol Georgia, presented to
the Legislature for several years past. That body re
ferred the subject to a committeo of gentlomen—they
made their Report, and the subject has not yet been act
ed upon. The friends of the claim intending to pre
sent it again to the Legislature, desire that the people
and their Representatives should fully know the nature
of it—consequently, we publish to-day a part of the
proceedings relative to it, and shall publish tho whole
in two succeeding papers.
[FROM TIIF. MACON MESSENGER.]
TO THE WHIG ELECTORS OF THE THIRD
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Fellow Citizens :—Tho general fall elections
throughout your district having transpired, and the re.
suit being entirely favorablo to tho Whig parly,—so
much so as to place tho election of a Whig successor
to the present incumbent of the office of Representative
in Congress for that district, beyond all reasonable
doubt,—the undersigned has deemed it his duty, aris
ing out of private considerations, nf an imperious char
acter, to lender his resignation of the office of Repre
sentative m Congress for said district, to his Excellen
cy the Governor of Georgia. But ho would consider
himself recreant to every principle of gratitude, were
he to omit this opportunity of tendering his unfeigned
thanks to those of his fellow citizens who, through
unusual sacrifice united in his support, in a contest of
almost unparalleled opposition. He is not, however,
ignorant nor unmindful of the fact, that that which im.
parted life and energy and vigor to the contest, was en
tirely independent of the humble individual who had
been so much honored by his fellow citizens as lo be
constituted their candidate, but was derived from tho
pure and patriotic principles of the Whig party, which
were involved in tho issue. Principles calculated lo
secure the greatest amount of ratiuual liberty to tho
people of this Union. Principles which in their prac.
tical operation, harmonize most beautifully with the
theory of our government—thatall her citizens are polil.
ically equal, and whose direct tendency is to make them
not only politically, hut socially equal. Equal in prop,
erly, by encouraging domestic industry. Equal in in
telligence, by fostering public education. Equal in
morality, virtue and happiness, by discouraging vice
and disorder in every form. These are tho sources
from whence flowed that manly and patriotic energy,
which secured to tho Whig party of I his district lliat
victory which has recently crowned their efforts against
a system of organization by their opponents, which
was worthy of a better cause.
The Whig party desire net to secure sectional ad-
vantages, at tho expense of the whole nation : but view
ing the millions of our beloved Union as one common
brotherhood, they seek to enact such laws, and to ad
minister the government in that manner best calculated
to promote universal order, happiness and liberty.
The success of tho Whig party depends mainly up-
on the general diffusion of inte'ligence and morality ;
and in tiic degree that knowledge anil sound morality
obtain, just in that degree do the principles of the
Whig party prevail. Wc have consequently a great
trust committed to us ; let us see to it that wc discharge
our duly with fidelity and patriotism. Thus acting,
wo shall be enabled lo transmit to our children the
rich legacy of freedom, bequeathed to us by uur patri
otic fathers, with the hope that they will hand it down
unimpaired, to the remotest generations.
Your obliged fellow.citizen,
WASHINGTON POE.

ment nf next month, and it is said will go Into effect in
four to six months. The duty will be considerably
decreased on wine, iron, steel and brandy, a little on
linen, and probably not at all on cotton goods. There
ia nothing new in politics : the people will return to
Federalism, but do not dare to express their opinion, on
account of the military, who are opposed to it. Ten
days ago several conductas arrived from the interior,
with two millions of dollars,of which $1,800,000 went
on board the English packet Avon.
The following extract from a letter, from Matnmoroe,
shows the state of feelings there :
Matajioros, Sept. 13,1845.
Our latest accounts front the Capital, are up to the
30th August, and state that it ia generally believed that
the pending question relative to the annexation ofTox
as. will not lead to a war between Mexico and the
United States. In the first place, the outbreak of the
passions lias subsided ; and nmv the exhausted state of
the Mexican treasury, and the general apathy of tho
people, arc two great impediments. VVe confidently
believe that no war will result, and the proof of it is
that no Mexican troops have as yet moved towirda this
frontier.— Picayune.

THE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
At a meeting of the Baldwin County Temperance
Society, the undersigned wore appointed a committee
to address through the public press, the various Tem
perance Associations throughout the State, and remind
them of the Convention to he held in Milledgcvilie
on the 20tli of November next, and respectfully urge
them to send delegntes to said Convention. °
Feeling a deep and lively solicitude for the speedy
and final triumph of the cause of Temperance in this
Slate, and throughout the world, may we not cherish
the hope that every portion of Georgia will ho fully
represented in the approaching Convention, and that a
new and far-reaching interest will he awakened in the
public mind upon tins vitally important subject.
Wc would respectfully suggest that where societies
find it inconvenient to send delegates, they will address
by letter the Convention, giving a slalcinont of Ihu
condition of their societies respectively, the number of
members, together with such other information as may
be of interest to the friends of thia noble cause.
VVe hope editors throughout the Slate will do tho
cause and us the kindness to insert this notice ill their
papers.

Washington, Oct. 11.
I have learned to day, from sources not to be doubted,
that Mr. Buchanan is certainly about to leave Ihe State
Department, lie went to Pennsylvania lately for the
purpose of conferring with his friends or. the subject,
and, I am advised that it has beer, recommended to him
to resign, and either go hack to tho Senate, or take the
vacant Judgeship. General Cameron will, as l am in.
formed, readily resign hia place in the Senate in lavor
of Mr. Buchanan; but Mr. B. prefers the Bench, and
will take it, m>\ doubling it will prove quite as good a
stepping stone to tlie Presidency as any other situation.
It is to be regretted that tho Bend) of the Supreme
Couit, upon winch we are accustomed to look with so
much reverence should be made a stand for political
fortu ne hunters. But the high character of those ele
vated to that position has protected them from the inti
mation that they would uso their influence for purposes
of political advancement.
It will bo remembered, however, that Chief Justice
Marshall was proposed by the federalists as their can.
didate for the Presidency; and, at iho present moment
the most prominent candidate in the view of the great
whig party for that station is Justice McLane, of Ohio.
You may have noticed the proposals offered by the
Postmaster General for the tiansportation of tho mail
between northern and southern pmt* of ths United
States, and between the United States and the princi
pal ports in Europe, &c. It is shown by Mr. Mann, late
Counsel of the United State at Bremen, that a packet
between New York and Bremen would pay all its ex-
penaeafrom letters alone. From Bremen there is an
«*ay accebs to every port of Europe. This will be
one of the points selected.
Lisbon is also spoken of as one of the best ports
through which a ready communication may bo kept up
with all the principal points in Europe.
Col. Sloo, of Cincinnati, now the mail contractor be.
tween Wilmington and Now Orleans, is one of tho
bidders. Cof. Sloo bat made un a very efficient cotnpa-
uy in New York, who are ready, and propose to take
tho contracts on Hp terms of the law of the late Con.
gross# aod without any compensation excepting merely
tho letter pottage.
But Col. Sloo and hie associates object very properly
to tbc terms of the proposals, and insist upon (he law
rrappoiidiiii; dogr<*H by i
period of the lust houmoii.

Should the writer of this brief obituary give oxp-es*ion to

Some eighteen years ago, Mr*. Williaoi*mi,(then Mis* Luck-
ie,daughter of Col. James Luckie of Oglethorpe,) publicly
professed her faith in Christ, nnd united with the Presbyterian
Church iu Lexington, Oglethorpe county, then under tlie pas
toral care of tire llev. Dr. Uouldmg. Of tier curly religious
impressions, or tho sneciul exercises of mind which preceded
her union with the Church ofChrist, the writer i* not inform
ed. His acquaintance with her commenced some time sub- •
sequent to that period. But he is nutiiorixed to stale, that ;
her life was that of u sincere, eousistent, conscientious uml I
devoted Christian. She possessed grout linuues* nnd deci*« i
ion ofcharacter. With superior intellectual powers, she nt* j
tniued a high degree of religious knowledge. To lira doc
trine and usages of her Church, she entertained a strong at- ’
tachment. Mr*. W. was distinguished for her scrupulous uml \
couHcieotious discharge of all lira relative and social duties '
life. She fully recogui/.ed lira re*pon*ihiliiins of her station;
mid no one, poilisps, ever more faithfully mid minutely met j
them nt all time* nnd under all circumstances. Although j
long the subject of disease, and the victim ol grovt physical I
sufferings,yet her noxious care for the welfare and comfort i
of those around her was never intermiuod. A sick servant, a ]
neighbor or relative, ever found iu her not only lira sympu- I
lliir.ing friend, hut the diligent, watchful nurse and attendant >
around the couch ofaffUction. The midnight hour often wit
nessed her on liar way to administer to lira wants of Irar do- ,
tneelic* in affliction. Her regard fur the temporal and spirit
ual welfare of this class of paople, constituted a peculiar and 1
prominent trail in her character. It waa atrongiy evinced in .
the cloaiug aceneaof life. A* she set her liouae in order, and l
prepared to paaa over Jordan, the African race waa not for- <
gotten. The missions to that benighted and unfortunate -
race were remembered. Wilk oalmoaea and aarenity alra took
