MY LOVE.
X loved as none have ever loved,
Whalc'or their lovo might he,
Else would not parting with her wrung
Soch bitter paugs from me.
Yet, musing on what might hay® bccu,
I dream my time awayj fl
'Tis idle us my early dreams, . v '
Hut, ah! ’tis not so gay.
'n%-. I
If aught of pleasure yet is mine—
A pleasure muted with pain—
'Tis pondering on the days gone by,
Which ne'er can come again!
W hen she, all lovely as she's still, , •
Blushed when I called her fair,
And, if she never bade rue hope,
Kho ne’er budu mu despair.
I' or thee, dear maid, I fondly sighed,
* For theo I now repine,
Since l-'atc has sworn in solemn words.
Thou never caast be mine!
Yet fondly do I love thee still,
Though hope no'er mingle* there;
A wilder pussion sways me now—
"l'is lovo joined to despair.
Farewoll, a world whoso gayest scenes
No pleasure bring to me;
I’d hate its smile, did 1 not think t ■
It may givo joy to thee.
But, if thou ever lovedst like me,
No joy will light thine eye.
Save transient gleams, like wintry suus,
Short glancing in the sky. Gilfillan.
MARY’S BOWER.
The mavis sings on Mary's bower,.
The lav’roek in the sky;
An’ a’ is fair round Mary's bower,
An’ a' aboon is yoy! • •
But sad’s the gloom in Mary’r bower,
Though a' without be gay;
Nae music comes to greet the morn,
N'ae smile to glad tho day.
Her lovor left young Mary’s bower,
His ship has crossed the main;
There’s waefu’ news in Mary’s bower—
He ne’er returns .again.
A breaking hoart’s in Mary’s bower,
A wasting form is there;
The glance has left that c'o bac blue,
Tho rose, that cheok sac fair.
The mavis flees frao Mary’s bower,
The lav’roek quits tho sky,
An’ simmer sighs o’er Mary's bower,
For coming vyintcr’s nigh.
The snaw fa's white on Mary’s bower.
The tempests loudly rave—
The flowers that bloomed round Mary’s bower
Now wither on her grave. ib.
GOV. GILMER’S DINNER SPEE CII,
c. The policy which I then roconimeudcd to i partmeut from the numerous misrepresentcT. 00
: Legislature to pursue, in regard to those im- of our pohn . ai adversaries.
Permit me, gentlemen, to offer for your ac
ceptance, this sentiment—
Honor and luccess to those servants of tie)
people, who faavo the firmness to execute what
at Milledgcville, 10th inst.
Gentlemen—Itis with great embarrassment that
1 rise to return you my thanks, for tho honor you
havo done me, in the sentiments just expressed in
relation to my character aad public services. 1
tun wholly unable to convey in words, the nature
and oxtent of my feelings on the present occasion.
My situation is novel iudeod. Instead of meet
ing with a cold reception, from having been the
instrument of the loss of party power, 1 find my-
suif the subject of the most rtattermg distinction
from this respectable assemblage of my political
friends. Had tho offering, w hicli is now made
of their good will and confidence, followed iny in
duction into office, it would uot have been re
ceived. I have no regard whatever for the hon
ors attcu.lnnt upon elevated Btatious. Aud yet
my ambition is perhaps as ardent as others. 1
seek but to deserve and acquire, from my couu-
trymeu, the uaiuo of an honest man and faithful
public servant. Your approbation of my con
duct has been therefore too gratifying, to enable
me to find expressions for my gratitude. Aud
yet 1 would, if it were possible, render to this
company a brief vindication of the course of poli
cy which 1 have attempted to pursue in adminis
tering die Executive Department, and state some
of the causes which have led to the result of the
late election of Governor.
in my inaugural address, I stated to my fel-
low-citiacns, that I considered myself the Chief
Magistrate of the State, and not of a party.—
For this expression 1 have received umnoaswed
abuse. It is known familiarly to all of you, that
the heated party strife which had arrived at its
acme in 1825, had, for some years, gradually sub
sided, as the measures of Governor Troup, in
defence of the rights of the State, proved success
ful. The leader of the oppositiou party had re
moved from tho State. I had received a large-
majority ofthe votes of that party. I then hoped
that the time had arrived, when divisions among
the people, arising from the quarrels and conflict
ing ambition of individuals, which had so long
disgraced the State, might be healed, and parties
formed upon principlo alone. As one moans of
efiecung this object, 1 have endeavored to fill all
the oflicex in the gift of the Exccuuve, with
such perjous as were supposed to be bost
qualified to discharge their duties, without
regard to party distinctions. It was in tho ob
servance of this rule, that 1 had hoped to satisfy
uvery one of tho sincerity of the determination
which 1 load expressed, of bring the Governor of
tho State aad uot of a party. I havo however
been dis ippointed, as is now known to every ouc
Too many unworthy persous had continually
profited hy tho violence ofthe contest for party
supremary, to bo disposed to respect arule which
excluded them from tho rewards to which they
had been accustomed, for their successful support
of candidates for office. Nameroas applications
were made to me for rewards for such services
upon my entering into office—-all have been disap
pointed. 1 have sought for public officers among
those only, w ho were known to bo worthy of con
fidence. I have considered tho claims of all ap
plicants lessened hy the act of asking. Mauy of
those who hear me, and who have been familiar
with the coarnc which 1 have pursued, are aware
of the bitter opposition which I have received from
disappointed applicants of both parties. 1 have
acted •«ithout looking to personal consequences,
and cannot but feel gratified that I can say with
perfect sincerity, on this occasion, that I havo not
used the power which was placed in my bauds hy
the people, ia one imtsnce, to aid in tho accom
plishment of any selfish purpose.
All who hear mo are fully aware of the extraor
dinary respon* bility which has devolved upon
me in consequence of our relations with the Cho-
rokees. The extension of tho jurisdiction of the
State over tho Indians, tho discovery of gold
mines of great value in tha land occupied by
them; the right of tbo pco| lo to have those lanes
distributed without the extinguishment of tho In
dian title; the possession token of tho imues by
thousand* of persons, anil chiefly from other
8tate«, in violation of the right* of the State, and
regardless of the will of the Indians, all became
07“ W> arc authorized to an-
notmee M. K. CHERRY as a candidate for Co- i »»«»*<» fMfe«« abiorb- f gu>;er«st wqUi tho
rouer of Bibb ceticty.
“ 2? ! people, ahotriji efftr! entered The ExtCWfr Of-
portant matters, have been the constant themo of
opposition ever since, tuid the most operative
cause ofthe loss of my election. And yet, extra
ordinary as it may appear, the opinions which
haye thus deprived me of the confidence of my
fellow-citizen., were at the timo they were com
municated to the Legislature, fully approved by
the present Governor.
I knew that iu opposing the immediate distri
bution of the lands of tho Cherokres, without re
gard to their rights; in recommending the appro
priation of tho valuably gold mines to relieving
thu people of taxation, making internal improve
ment, and extending the benefits of education lo
all classes of society; and in advising the repeal
’of the law which subjected our Indian population
to a deprivation of much of their property by im
proper means, I was opposing the strongest pre
judices, and most selfish feelings of the thought
less and avaricious. I havo uot however been
accustomed to throw out feelers, to learn the in
dication of public sentiment, previous to express
ing my thoughts on auy subject, much less when
official duty required their open avow-si. The 0-
piuiens which were communicated to the Legisla
ture, upon these subjects, have, however, been
grossly misrepresented. Thousands ofour citi
zens have by the operation of one or two corrupt
presses, been made to believo that I was opposed
to the acquisition of our Indian lands, and had in
sulted the poor hy slating that they were unfit to
partake ol the benefits to he derived from the
gold mines, in common with other classes of the
•ommunity.
The authors of those charges knew them to be
false, mid the whole course of my public aud pri
vate life, I trust, is testimony against them; but
in popular governments like ours, there will al
ways he found persons, who are ready to avail
themselves of such base means of acquiring offi
ces.
I take this opportunity of avowing, (what I
have often stated privately,) that I had no indi
vidual interest or desire to continue in offico; that
I have been only anxious to do what duty to the
State required of mo, and that I uow feel that 1
have no cause to regret my defeat, except as it
may affect injuriously the measures of the Gov
ernment ; and as it wrests the administration
from the hands of those with whom I have ever
acted, aud upou the success of whoso principles
depends tho honor, safety, aad character of tho
State.
Notwithstanding the difficulty which I find of
expressing myself uuder my present crabarass-
mont, I am yet anxious to add something furth
er iu explanauon of the measures of my admin-
stration. In opposing the immediate survey and
distribution of the Cherokee lands, I have been
influenced uot only by what was considered jus
tice to oar Indiaa population, hut hy what wag
dm- to the present Administration of tho Gene .
al Government. The firmness w ith whch Gen
eral Jackson lias sustained his policy of remov
ing the Indian tribes from the States, and
placing them in the only situation in which thoir
existence can be continued, or in which they can
acquire the art of civilized life, his prompt ac
knowledgment of the rights of this State to ex
tend its laws over ail its territory, aud the ex
ertions which he has made, and is now making to
remove the Cherokces from beyond our limits,
impose upon us the strongest obligation to avoid
the adoption of any policy which would be cal
culated to bring us mto collision with the Uni
ted States. Lpon no subject have stronger ef
forts been made to excite the prejudices of the
people against General Jackson, and to prevent
his re-election, than his disposition to do justice
to Georgia. And shall we give effect to these
unprincipled efforts,: by adopting such meas
ures as must either sacrifice our best friends, or
force him, under the pressure of public opinion,
to resist their execution? Gratitude and policy
both forbid.
Among the singular circumstances which have
been attendant upon tho late election, it is not
thu least remarkable, that the presses iu this
State, which have supported my successor, be
cause he was iu favor of the immediate sur
vey and distribution of tho Indinn lands, and
the Northern presses opposed to General jack-
son, under the pretence that ho was disposed
to aid this State in depriving the Chcrokecs of
their rights, have made my defeat a common
cause of triumph.
For the purpose of defeating tho re-election of
Gen. Jackson, it has been stated, that lie has re
fused to enforce the nou-iutercourso law, and
thereby enabled the authorities of this Stale toop-
f iress the Cherokces, and take possession of their
ands. Although this charge has been made in
all the papeis opposed to Gen. Jackson, it is ut
terly false. At no time whatever has the Chero
kee territory been so perfectly secured from in
trusion from tho whites, os under the operation of
the present laws.
It may he also proper that I should notice a
charge which has been made directly against
myself, hy tho same papers, together with those
in this State which have advocated the election
of my successor, in relation to my conduct towards
the Missionaries, who were residents among the
Cherokces. By tho law now in force, no white
person, however respectable, has tho right to
mtrudu upon tho Cherokee, territory. Those
white person! of good character, who were read
ing among the Indians, when that law was passed,
had the special privilege granted them to continuo
their residence. In order, however, to prevent
the abuse of this privilege, by enabling such per
sons to thwart the policy of tho General Govern
ment, and to oppose the execution of the laws of
this State, a condition was imposed upon them,
that they should take an oath to support its Con
stitution and laws.—Whatever punishment the
Missionaries have suffered, has bet a sought for by
themselves, by the open and direct violation of a
law which w as intended for their benefit. Not an
act has been done lor tha purpose of oppressing
them. They have not been asked to take an
oatb contrary to their conscientious opinions; nor
have those who are now in tho Penitentiary been
offered a pardou upon condition that they would
tako any oath whatever, hut simply on the pro
mise of their removal from tho territory.
There has been oue act of my administration
which I regret to perceive has been misunderstood
by some of my triends. It has been suppbscd
that ia directing the Agent ot' the Stato to con
tinue to arrest Indians for trespassing upon the
goid mines, after the decision of a Judge of the
Superior court, that they coaid not be punished
for so doing, it was nty intention to oppose the
judicial authority.—The law imposed upou me a
particular duty. That daty terminated when
tho judicial authority commenced. It was uot
intended by my orders to the Agent, not so under
stood by him, that ho should arrest any Indian
who had bccu discharged by the Court, unless
for a repeated offence. The Judicial and Legisla-

The Congressional ekciiin—We are informed!
of a most unexpected vacancy ia Congress.
After Judge Clayton had been thrown off'by hj»
party, aud superseded on tho bench by Mr.
Dougherty, he voluntarily, openly, repeatedly
declared to Judge Schley aad his friends, that
ho would uot bo a candidate, und that he would
support Judge Schley for tho vacancy. But re
gardless ol'h-.s reputation for truth aud consis
tency, ho has already violated his plighted word,
and faithlessly become a candidate for ibe of
fice, for which ho had explicitly promised his
support to another. On what prit
-tSr
principle con wo
expect that man to bo faithful to his country,
who is faithless to his fellow citizens? v
Independent of nil other eousidcruUons, {fro
decision of Judge Clayton against tho attempt by
Georgia to protect tho goldmines, should forth
an insuperable barrier ngaiust his rising to a
seat in Congress. According to that decision,
every lndiau lias a right, unmolested to dig far
gold, wherever ho may please throughout tho
Cherokee territory. If ho has a right to gath
er the precious metals, with his own hands, fro
has an equal right to employ other laborers,
white or black, 111 this profitable business. lo
defiance of tho penal laws of Georgia, designed
to prevent trespasses on the mines, this decisieu
invites to the golden harvest, aU tho world, be
sides her own citizens. If sustained, it muss
greatly strengthen the reluctance of tho Chcro-
xoes to remove to the fertile lands of the West,
although they abound in game. If sustained,
wo apprehend that it will rivet the Indians to
the territory, aud that the gold region will never
become the property of thu people of Georgia.,
At present wo impeach not the motives ct
Judge Clayton, in this transaction; but a mao
entertaining doctrines which form thu basis of
Itis decision, is opposed to the iutcrest of tins
State, aud should uot be entrust ! by us with a
seat in the councils of the Confederacy. Itis
ascertained, that tho Choroket-s are preparing
to test, in the .Supreme Court of tho United
States, tho validity of the claims of Georgia-. .
When they shall have instituted their case befjro
that Federal Tribunal, th -ir counsel will sicyo
with avidity, and proclaim with triumph, this
decision of a Georgia Judge in their favor: operat
ing against his own country, and thus wearina
the semblance of singular disinterestedness, it will
bo received with deferential regard, by tho Judge®
presiding in that court, and will have great weighs
inleadingtoa similar decision against us. Lit
the people of Georgia now elect Judge Clayton
to one of the highest offices in their gift, and this
act will affix their seal to his imlgm: n», and, will
rat fy it before tha we.Id. The decision of ouo
ofour own Judges, tbm sustained by tl« strongest
proof of the approbation ofour people, will bo
regarded as conclusive evidence against tbo
validity of our claim. In the halls of Congress it
will furnish the strongest argument, and tlio
keenest satire, to those designing politicians, and
those misguided fanatics who so often asstyl
the reputation of our State. When they insolent
ly accuse us of robbing and oppressing the poor
Indian, they will point to this Judge, as their wit
ness, and w ill appeal to his decision in proof of
their bitter calumnies against his country. And
how shall we meet their argument and their sa
tire, if by our votes at tbo approaching election,
we sustain Judge Clayton, nnd his decision 7 Jl*
we regard the honor nnd interest of the State, wo
will not give countenance aud confirmation tojtfi
doctrines ; but will endeavor to counteract their
pernicious influence. Duty to our country impe
riously requires, that we shall oppose the election
of a man, whose success will be the eondeijinas.
