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.

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 THE SENATE. fhla body, the first under the late apportionment, and the first, under the biennial system, will present an in- Greeting appearance te the public eye. ft is compos- *<1 "f individuals -having the confidence, generally of contiguous counties, and whose weal, or whose woo, is identical with that of Georgia.

Time *iU show whether ite (mile are to be again a battle preund for patty, nr whether derated patriotism, end to two hundred and one. All that is required, is, that every interest shall be fairly, and equitably represented —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. TO THE WHIGS OF THE THIRD DISTRICT- The resignation of Washington Pun, Esq. having occasioned a vacancy in I lie Congressional representa tion of tins District; in order lo insure tho proper de liberation in selecting a candidate that will be most sc. ceptable to the people of the district, it is proposed that a convention bo held as early as practicable, at some convenient place, lor the purpose of nominaiing a candidate for the 3d district.

VVe make an extract from a commercial letter which lias been placed at our dispns -J : Tampico, Sept-20, 1845. The new tariffwill be published in the commence 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.

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 hi* convictions of the many excellencies and admirable qunl • itie* of thia Christian Irieml, he feel* fully sensible that Ira should not escape tho charge of being a panegyrist. That pure spirit, whose departure ho desire* to record, he feels would forbid nil eulogy,and pointing to the cross of Imr Re- deemer,would humbly confess,' bv t Jracc. I am whm I am "— 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.
