JACKSON and TALBOT MEETING A large and rospoctable meeting of the friends of union and of the abovementiunod distinguished gentleman assembled in Zobulon on Monday, the 27th ult. The company re paired.to the Court House, at precisely 12 o’ clock. Major John II. Bkodnax was called to tho chair, and P. R. Ralston was appoint' od_secretary. The object of thu meeting was briefly explained by tho chairman. Allen W. Pkior, E<q. then rose, and, in an appropriate and eloquent address, dwelt with peculiar feli city on the merits and demerits of tho opposing candidates for tho gubernatorial chair, happily contrasting tho plain, upright, firm and consist ent conduct sustained in every event of life (boili private and political) by tho Hon. Mat thew Talbot, with that of tho Hou. John Forsyth, whose public career has been dis tinguished by a series of change and equivoca tion and whoso governing principle in all situa tions seems to bo that of self-interost and ag grandizement. Tho address was approbated with long and continued applause. .. The following preamble and resolutions were then submitted by the committee (previously appointed) and read by tlioir chairman, Aliaii Wilson, Esq. and adopted unanimously, ex- copt by one -solitary dissenting voice. Tho company then retired near tho Spriug, where the rise of three hundred persons partook of a splendid barbocuo. After tho cloth was re moved, the regular toasts appendud were drunk. It is with no ordinary feelings of pleasure that wo announce tho entire proceedings of tho day wore characteristic of the reciprocal feel ings and honorable deportment of freomen.— In a word, peace and good will towards all, seamed to pervade ovory broast. The com mittee appointed to draft a preamble and reso lutions, expressive of the sonso of the meeting, beg leave to submit the following: TRE AMBLE AND. RESOLUTIONS. It is the right no Iejs than tho duty of every citizen closely to scrutinize tho character and pretensions of those who aspire to public em ployment; the former results from tho nature of our institutions, and the latter, from the so lemn obligations that rest upon evory individual of iho community, to contribute all in his pow- or towards tho advancement of the geueral good. It roquircs no claborato argument to prove, that tho prosperity and roputation of the State depend in a great measure upon him who fills the executive chair. If ho bo an am bitious unprincipled mau, ho may iuvolvo us in difficulties alike baneful to our interest and honor. It has nlroady been soon, that with considerable ability, there may bo connected a complete destitution of correct political prin ciple, a shameful'contempt for tho sacred pro visions of the constitution and a total disregard of the public welfare. Hence wo are urged by the most poworful motivos that can animato the breast of freemon, to bo careful and cir cumspect in conferring power, when wo have no Avell grounded reason _ to believe, that its oxcrcise will bo bcneficiently exerted. The executive magistrate should nut only bo intelli gent and deeply conversant with the interest and feelings of the peoplo, of pure and unspot ted private character, but he should also pos< ses a warm and extendid sentiment of patriot ism, sound republican principles, aud an Rrdent zoal to preserve and perpotuate our free and happy institutions. These requisites, wo be lieve tho Hon. Matiieav Talbot to possoss in an eminent degree. In addition lie has o.vor been the firm and consistent advocate of the claims of Andrew Jackson for tho presidency, and we should hail his elevation to office as an omen presaging tho ultimate success of him, who illustrated tho skill and valor of his coun try, and filled the measure of her glory. His distinguished opponent John Forsyth wo honestly believe to be in a groat measure destitute of thoso essential qualifications. In his political career, we see nothing plain, no thing simple, nothing consistent. At one time, ho is seen eulogizing the measures of Mr, John Adams, aud denouncing thoso of iho sage of Monticello, as tho idle effuiiws of a vaia and visionary philosophy; at another timo wo find him abandoning tho long-chcrished prin ciples of his youth and ranging himself under tho banner of republicanism. Now ho is the sturdy champion of the old treaty; and anon he shifts his position and moves an appropria tion to. purchaso that which wo had already le gally obtained. That he is inimical to tho e- lection of General Jackson is minifest from tion to take that power from congress which had defeated both tho general and tho popular will. That ho feels littlo gratitude or esteom for the immortal Washington is manifest from the unequivocal language lie used in a late dis cussion.in the House of Representatives; and his recc.nt attempt to shield himself under the flimsey technicalities of the law Of pleading, from the payment of a just debt, contracted with a a literary institution, shows his honesty in the transactions of private life, is not loss doubtful thun his political integrity. The olovation of such a man to power, avIioso public career is marked with so much inconsis tency, we should look upon as pregnant with abiding evil to the State, and as indicating a chauge in the good old republican feelings of tbe people. Therefore, Resolved, That this nieeliag considers the election of Matthew Talbot as well caculated to promote the best interests of the people, nnd to allay the an gry strife of party, and to restore that harmony be tween the State and General Government which is so essential to the prosperity and honor of both; and that We will use all manly and honorable means to ef fect that important object. And be it f irtlicr resolved. That the above pream ble and resolution be forwarded to the Moron Tele graph and to the Georgia Statesman It Patriot for pub lication. TOASTS. 1. Our Country, the freest and happiest on earth: may he,- future progress be equally glorious nnd tri umphant as her past. 2. The Constitution ofthe United States, in politic*, what the Bible is in religion, the bulwark of our safe ty and happiness. , 3. . The State of Georgia; may she speedily regain, by wise and temperate councils, what she has lost by rashness and folly. 4. The lion• hlatthero Talbot; his eminent public services, his private virtues, and the soundness and purity of his political principles, justlv entitle him to the esteem and suffrages of everv centime republican. 5. General Andrew Jackson, the man that filled his country’s glory: may that country clothe him with her tiighect honor. General Daniel .Vcwnan: be has faithfully serv ed his country in the battle-field and in the cabinet: a grateful people will not forget him. 7. General John Clark; mnv the evening of his days be as tranquil and happy j>.s the meridian lias been useful and honorable. 8.

Woman, lovely' in petticoats, but hateful in breeches. 4 ho bulievod that by ruuuing the boundary in this manner, Georgia would loss a considera ble extent of territory, and he therefore arrest ed our progress until it could bo ascertained whether this informotion wero correct. I was instructed in June, to make a survey of the head branches of the St. Mary’s river, in order to ascertain its true source, and re- t urued about three weeks past from this la borious service. In my examination, the fol lowing facts have boon collected:—That the St. Mary’s is formed by three principal bran ches,. the North, the West, and the South, that tho first of these is the least, though it was supposed by tho U. S. and Spanish Commis sioners to be the principal: that the South branch is the largest of tho three, and that it discharges one third more water th in the o- ther two together; nnd that by runniug the boundary according to the agreement of 1800, Georgia losses 2,355 square miles, or 1,507, 200, acres.” From tho Si,Potman <5* Patriot. Look on this picture. At the last session of the Legislature of Georgia, a Bill was brought forward for the remuneration of C It. Parker, as follows; Be it enacted by the Sen ate and House ofRepresen tatives of the State of Geor gia in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enact ed by the authority of the same, That thesum of three thousand dollars be appro priated to the said C. B Parker, for bis services in taking the portraits of Gen. Washington, General La Fayette, Thomas Jefferson, Renjamin Franklin, and And on this! At the last session of Congress, the following resolution was submitted by - the Committee on the Library, to the house of Representatives, viz: Resolved, That the clerk of this House be authoriz ed and directed to purchase the set of Revolutionary medals, formerly the pro perty of Geueral Washing ton, to be deposited in the Library of Congress, pro vided the expense of the same shall not exceed 9500, to be paid for out of tbe contingent fund of this House. any money in tbe Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and that his Excellency be requested to issue ids war- raut on the Treasurer in fa voroftliesaidC.

A small cut has alrea dy been made by Mr. Spalding, at his own ex* pense. I do not think this cut is exactly in the direction bost calculated to induce the in flux and reflux waters to pass through with their greatest effect: I would therefore recom mend the alteration shewn in the plan. In making these cuts, I am of opinion it will, be advisable to excavate tho wholo ofthe ve getable soil for a sufficient width to admit of vessels passing freely, say sixty feet at leasG~ The excavation of the whole of the vegetable soil will bo absolutely necessary, as I feel satis fied that no current which can be obtained at these situations wilt have any eflect in washing it away. I have some doubts whether tho sub soil' will wash away, athough an intelligent gentleman I have consulted on tho subject as serts with the utmost confide.*co that it will do so. Tho only shoal in this part of the river, which may be considered an obstruction, is one near thu middle of tho Reaches. This shoal can be easily removed by excavation, as it is .shallow for a short distance only. I found o- • ieven and a half feet of water on the shallow est part of it at half tide, so that it may fairly be concluded that a vessel drawing fourteen feet water, will have no difficulty in passing o- ver it at high w eer in its present conJition. The rise of tho tide I found to be on tho beach at the Light IIouso seven feot two indi es, and at tho wharf at Darien six feet 'threw inches: these may be considered tho minimum rise of neap tides, as the moon was in her las: quarter.

From the, St -desman Patriot, Talbot meeting in Muscogee Countv. At a public meeting of the citizens of Mus cogee coun’v, on the 1st inst; at tbe bouse of Asa 11*11, Esq. the followin'? preamble and Resolutions wero adopted by a very large majority. Every free cit 5 zen of th : s repnbfc has high and important duties confidod to his trust, no less than tbe promotion in nil its parts, of the free nnd hapov form of government estab lished hv the v do** and wisdom of the heroes and sages of the Revolution. In a povem- mont like ours, where the w'll of the people iis tho supreme law, everv voter should feol that h>s vote mav decide between measures that lead on to freedom and indopendenro, or to despotism and vassahge; and should there fore avail lemself of the constitutional privi lege to assemble^ his fellow citizens, to.take into consideration, and adopt such measures, as may be host calculated to promote and secure the interest nnd happiness of the peo ple. Considerin'? the present an important crisis in our public affairs; nnd being anxious to quiet that hiqh state of public excitement tvliich has distracted our councils, retarded our advancement to improvement, poisoned tho peare of soriety and brought ns to the verse of revolution, and which if not allayed, must lend otoo fatal consequences; Therefore, avo the citizens of Mmcogn o county, friends of stale rights and the union of tho states, have assembled - , nnd wo do re commend, as tho best means of effecting, so desirable an object, the election to tho chief magistracy of tho state of our distinquisod fellow citizen MATTHEW TALBOT— whoso many private virtuos, sound judgment strict moral integrity, devoted patriotism, an^l long tried and faithful public services, entitjo him to tho highost measure of coufidonce. Therefore - Resolved, That wo will use every hon orably measure to secure his election on the first Monday in October noxt. Resolved, That we cannot, consistently, nnd wo will not, support his opponent John Forsyth, for the reasous that Iris political life has been marked with chinge and inconsisten cy. Like Tallyrand, (though without his suc cess,) he has been the friend of every admi nistration, whilst it flattered h;s ambition or avari ce—we seo him at ono time toasting tho “eldest son of federalism”—denouncing Jeffer son and his administration: again ho is warm ed by the fire of democracy, and again indea- voring to detract from the character of tho im mortal Wuhington ? We have no evidence that ho Avill bo found in the ranks at tho next Presidential election with the friends of him Avhoso name tho people havo inscribed by tho side of Washington, on the rolls of Ills coun try’s fame—(jcncral Andrew Jackson. Wo havo boon politely favored with the nnnexed extract of n letter from a gentleman who accompanied the commissioners engaged to run the line between tho State of Georgia and tlie Florida, to his friend in this jilace. Athenian. “Yon havo no doubt hoard that our oper ations on tho Florida lino wero suspended last spring by an order of Gov. Troup. Our commissioners were running the boundary ac cording to the agreement of tlie U. S. and Spanish Commissioners made in 1800. From tho negative ho gave to Nr. N’Dulfio’s xosolu-1information communicated to tho Governor, some style, presented the iff that there was nothing same for compensation du- intAe revolutionary, or tub- ring the last session of thc\seifucnt services of General Legislature. (See Acts mi Washington to induce us General assembly page 35-), to set so high a value on any thing which had been jin his possession.” (See » \ Debates in the- House of' \Representatices,on the 28In [February, 1237. No ono thought about it being “unconstitu tional” to buy these pictures; although they c«3t $500 a piece 1 and no man suggested ci ther that of Washington, Lafayette, Jefferson, Franklin or Oglethorpe,.“that there was no thing in their Revolutionary or subsequent servicos” worthy of such* remembrance.—Sup pose for example, such a suggestion had fal len from tho mouth of any m in on tlie floor of the legislature, think you, fellow citizens, ho could havo stood before the storm of his sing and rebuke that would 'have boon justly poured upon him! Would not “tho slow un moving finger of scorn” have pursued him to earth’s remotest hiding place? And yet these pictures cost Georgia nlone, Three Thou sand dollars; Avhile Mr. Forsyth could insult the feelings of tho wholo nation by suggesting that there was nothing in tic rcvclutionary or subsequent services of GENERAL WA SHINGTON to induce him to set so high a value [.$500] upon any thing which had been in his possession! Is it to be believed that thoro is an indi vidual .state in the Union so niggardly that he would have refused the pitiful sum of $500 to preserve tho memorials of Washington’s ser vices to his country ? Look at the Statues, Monuments, and Obelisks Avhose proud hoight arrest the traveller’s eye in several of our States which cost Twenty, Thirty, and even fifty times fivo hundred dollars, and consecrated to tlie memory of “the revolutionary and subse-, quent services" of Gerioral Washington and his compatriots; and yot Forsyth the man who Avouid be made Governor of Georgia, “sug gested that there was nothing” in theko ser vices to induce the nation to set so high a vnluo upon any thing which had boon in his possession"!! But this is not tho language nor the sentiments of Georgia; in her veneration for the services of Washington and his com patriots, she yields to no state in the Union, She has rocontlv expended $3000 to procure tho portraits of these mon; and sho would sooner expend Three Hundred Thousand, than bo ranked with the contemners of thoir merit. It remains to be seen whothor Geor gia will elect a mau for her Governor who has thus spoken of Washington. ALATAMAHA BELOW DARIEN.
