It wdl be remarked that, without regard to the
number of delegates, each State was allowed a
number of votes equal to her representation iu
both Houses of Congress under the new appor
tionment law.
At an adjourned meeting of the Convention the
same day, the Virginia delegation, by resolution,
concurred in the nomination of Van Buren, anil
the Alabama delegation gave notice they yielded
their preference for Richard M. Johnson, and ex
pressed their cordial approval of the choice of the
majority.
Of tlie Georgia Delegation we would at present
merely observe that iu voting for Van Buren, they
have preferred a man that fastened the Tariff of
1828 ou tlie South, to one that has uniformly re
sisted the protecting system in every shape and
on every occasion, and therefore show'll a total
disregard for principle. With what degree of
consistency Georgia eau declaim against tlie Ta-
rilf, and yet go the “who!# hog” fur him who
bound it to Iter shoulders, let his advocates among
us answer.

Mr. Editor:—While Doth parties heartily ap
prove of the resolves of tlie citizens of liui-kc,
Putnam, &c„ condemning tho lute Decision of
the Supreme Court in the case of tlie Missionaries,
it is somewhat surprising to me, that oue Resolu
tion should have been omitted at these meetings,
which has a good deal of cream iu it; and which
l presume would be quite acceptable to a great
majority of the persons who convened on these
occasions. It is as follows:
“Resolved, That a postponement of a Treaty
with the Chcrokccs and of the settlement of tin-
country for a year or two, would suit us exactly,
anil that we use all open and honorable means to
produce this result; aud for the following reasons:
First, it would give us time to assemble our truly
patriotic convention, to squeeze tlie pine barren
couulics into proper dimensions, and by gerry
mandering enable us to have two-thirds of the
Senate on our side. Secondly, it would enable
us to fix a negro or property instead of a white
basis for representation—which latter we are
afraid, in time, Larkin Cleveland and other citi
zens of Hall and other Western and Cherokee

Correspondence of llie Macon Telegraph.
Washington City, May 25, 1832.
There is little stirring here but politics—which
are stirred pretty well. Intrigue is boiled down
to a consistency. .My visit has changed tny o-
pinion ou many things—among others, on tlie in
corruptibility of honorable men. I shall begin to
think politics tho natural element of man—self in
terest his aim. and corruption the means. The
true cause of this is, the govci muciit is geltiug too
fat! while tlie treasury is so full, men will bo led
into temptation. This is of itself a sufficient proot
of the necessity of reducing the tarilf to the wants
of the government.' With a surplus revenue of
several milieus in tlie treasury, a thousand schemes
and the most unholy alliances will continue to be
framed, to draw it into circulation. In haste,
yours.

FOB TItF. MACON TELEGRAPH.
INTEMPERANCE, &c.
The evils of intemperance have been too often
exemplified iu the prostration of the drinker, in tlie
misery of his family, in the records of crime, and
in tlie* annoyance and burthens of society, to al
low palliation or excuse for tlie pernicious indul
gence; and the common practice of electioneer
ing with ardent spirits is one of those disgraceful
insults offered to the understanding of voters that
should call down indignation and punishment.—
Every man, impressed with a sense of tho obliga
tions ho owes tiio community, must feel it a duty
to use his endeavors to suppress an abuse so fla
grant and degrading.
Combined action being productive of greater
results that that which is isolated and indepen
dent, Temperance Societies, properly constitut
ed, form tho best butteries against it; but 1 must
be permitted to say, that, in my opinion, many in
stitutions of the kind are, from defects in their
range of acliou, illy calculated to Icsscu its width
or depth. I will take the Macon Temperance Soci
ety for example. Its members are arc pledged to
withhold their votes from any candidate who
treats either in person or through his friends.—
As it is not probable that society can obtain evi
dence whether aspirants to ollicc treat through
their friends or not, and as no denunciation is
hold forth agaiust their friends, on their own re
sponsibility, treating for them, tlie determination
extends practically uo fartiier than inhibiting tu
candidates direct participation in the demoraliz
ing custom. Thus, are candidates left, without
censure, to expend freely in treating what amount
of money they please, provided they use a little
secrecy and prudence iu selecting their ngeuts,
which they would lie sure to do, did they think
tltiuk treating expedient; but wero candidates a-
verse to tlie base practice and did all in their
power to put it down, Jet their partisaus (who
aro often more solicitous than the principlas as to
tlie results of elections) would carry it to what
ever extent they thought it prontotive of success.
Hence, it is obvious, that tlie abandonment uf it
by candidates would not dimmish its frequency or
extent so lung as partyisin is interested iu its con
tinuance. anil the measure adopted by the society
at Macon is worse than a nullity——is in effect a pre
mium offered for hypocrisy.
To act with efficiency against the vice, it is re
quisitc to make its existence detrimental to any
party giving it sauctiou; aud this can be accom
plished only by resolving to vote for uo candi
date who treats in person or w hose friends with
or without his approbation treat for him. My life
for it, no candidate or partisan would throw n
way his money in a manner which he knew
would defeat Ills hopes at the polls. It is a so
lecism to say that such a course would lie pun
ishing tho innoccut, while exonerati ig the guilty.
V candidate and his partisans, ns to all election,
form only one body having in common only one
interest at least so far as pride and opinion aud
intention are couceriicd; nnd should therefore all
be included iu the same punishment, (which defeat
would be.) whenever any one of the associates
attempts by pernicious means to effect tho ob
ject of tho whole. This appears more clearly
when it is recollected that office is not the natural
or political right of any particular man, but a
gift conferred for the common benefit. In con
ferring it. tho interest of the community should
he the primary motive, and not the caprice or
wishes or couvciiience of the candidate, ft is
therefore incumbent on the community, particu
larly on the moralist, to resist, without consulting
the interest of any ouc individual, any aud every
effort made to bestow office in a maimer prejudi
cial to general virtue; and that electioneering by
whiskey pending elections, whether with or w ith
out the candidate’s privity, has such tendency,
is beyond controversy. It makes no difference
as to the demoralizing consequcnceo, who pays
for the liquor or at whoso instauce it is druuk.
Were tlie Macon Temptrence Society undoiheis
similarly constituted to adopt the coufso 1 recom
mend, the members might, it is true, be unable
for threo or four years to render a vote nt the
polls; but that deprivation would be a trifle com-,
E ared with the influence their example would
ave on the community. Many individuals, now
viewing them ns inefficient to any beneficent end
or apt to lie wielded to political purposes, would
immediately join them, others would follow, and
the number so increase-that no leading or subal
tern demagogue would dare attempt to sully the
purity of elections by the agency of strong driuk.

LETTERS FROM A MACON MAN.
No. 5.
South Carolina, May, 1832.
Dear Sir:—Fasliionablo tourists commonly
make their visits northward by water. But I am
not a fashionable tourist—1 love the land—and on
tho land would choose to remain. Your genu
ine backwoodsman dreads water as he does insol
vency; and would ns soon be seen going into a
bank ns into a ship. After the icc is once broken
—when oue gets used to these adventures, they ap
pear, it is presumable, less hugabooish—nnd fie
goes on tlie ocean, or on a note, as he would go
into a confectionary. Aud it is only when bis
vessel or his fortune strikes a rock, that he begins
to be alarmed.
Tlie Ferry from Savannah to South Carolina
is several miles across—and" a small row boat the
only vehicle for passengers. This sort of naviga
tion, w lien tlie wind is easterly, and the tide on
'.lie ebb, is not the desirables! tiling in nature—to
an up countryman it is awful! As tho boat mo
ved off, tlie wind blew a young hurricane, and tho
waves swelled and rolled, and the spray flow,
ouitc angry like. Tlie little thing was heavy
luaded—and the way the water was shipped in
was distressing. Now, had a bridge been built
across the river hero, as has been so long talked,
of, all this risk aud danger would have been a-
voided. 1 shall petition for a bridge.
The skiff reached tlie shore safely, however, (as
1 was fatalist enough all along to believe it would,)
where a stage coach was iu waiting to take the
I tasscngcrs aud mail on the way to Charleston,
ts route lay through the Districts of Beaufort and
Colleton—famous of old for tories; and of late for
millifiers. Auil 1 do assure you a must unwhole
some smell went ttp from these low grounds of
infection aud faction. Whether it proceeded from
the miasma of stagnant water, or the miasma of
politics, 1 shall nut pretend to decide. But cer
tain it was, busts uf hungry buzzards were seen,
bent furiuuslv on the work of disunion—while,
hard by, might he observed, some solitary bird of
Minerva, or owl, looking very sad and melan
choly, (like a desponding Union man,) as if brood
ing over the distresses of his couutry. And nil
uiglit long, the genius of the land (ns is supposed,)
was heard threatening “Uncle Sam,” as his coach
went by, ‘Wvhip-I-will!" “wliip-I-will!" or re
peating “Chuekwoll’s widow I” "Cliuckwell’s
widow I” in a maimer quite agonizing.
The villages between Savannah nnd Charles
ton arc: Graliamsville, Coosawhatehie. Juckson-
borough, Beaufort, Pocotaligo, &c. Settlements
were inndo in this section as early as 15li0—but
uo permanent one until about Mrcutury after
wards. Tlie earlier settlements were mostly de
stroyed by the Indians aud Spaniards.
Beaufort is a healthy and charming place; and
has a harbor pcr!i-i|is superior to any m tlie south;
but having uu back country to support it, is uu the
decline.
Pocotaligo at this time has hut few inhabitants.
A hundred years ago or more, it was a village of
some note; when it experienced tlie mclaiiclioly
fate shared by many others at that early period.
Oh tho 15th of April, 1715, unconscious of dan
ger, ni! the inhabitants were indiscriminately mas
sacred by the Indians! The place is also signal
ized as the scene of heroic exploit in the Revolu
tionary war.
Several other sites iu this quarter are noticed
by the historian, and arc full of interest to tlie
American traveller. In the old Yamasso war,
(1715,) the country suffered severely, most of the
inhabitants were put to death aud their houses
burnt. Iu 17.£>, there was an alarming insurrec
tion of tlie negroes, and many murders committed
by them. During tlie Revolution it was also the
theatre of rapine and carnage.
Tho country is generally very fiat and wet, and
sickly. Spine healthy situations however aro
found in tlie piney woods, it furnishes good cot
ton and rice lauds; and the pasturage is repre
sented ns good, both summer and winter.
The stage arrived in Giiarleston in 2fl hours
from Savannah. About 10 miles, on the east cud
of the road, was parallel with the South Carolina
Rail Road—of w Inch, and tlie city ol Charleston,
1 may speak hereafter—if 1 find myself iu a good
humor. Adieu. ii.
A public dinner was given on the 30th ultimo
in New York, to Washington Irving, Esq., just
returned from Europe.
