Contention of Teachers.—Monday last was the
j >v oil which this body was to courruu in Macon;
lint in consequence of a coustitutinual number of
members not appearing, no busiuess was trans
ited. A neat ofatiou, ou the subject of eduen-
,i„„ f was delivered in the^ Methodist church ou
Monday, by Mr. Slade of Cliutou, a member.
War in Georgia.—Wo havejust learut that hos
tilities are uow, and havo for the last fivo or six
irecks been, waging on the northern part of our
western frontier, aud that it is actually a war of
invasion. Most of our readers.have, we suppose,
beard of the Poney Club. This association, con
ning of from one hundred and fifty to two hun
dred members, distinguished by n disregard of
bn aud a surprising tact at acquisition, had push
ed their operations until, scarcely a poucy worth
nvcuty dollars was loft in tho Cherokee country;
and tho Club itself must havo died of famiuc,
bid it not determined to forage iu Alabama.—
From the latter State ponies, horses and cattle,
wre taken in large numbers, nnd being transfer
red through perhaps twenty depots before sold,
recovery was seldom practicable; and as uo coin-
miisarate receipts were given, the owners were
left to whistle for their property. Nor was this
sii. Tho poney club corns having settled so nu
merously in neighborhoods as to be able to elect
cuastables and justices of the pence from their
own body, if any member was seen marauding,
process against him could bo seldom obtained, or
if obtaiued, ho was sure to be discharged on tho
exculpate ry affidavits of bis comrades; aud uot
unfrequoiitly the uufortuuato plaintiff was com
mitted or bouud over ou fictitious charges by of-
beers of the peace actually fugitives from jdstico
it the moment. Iu short, there was no recovery
of property hy law, nor punishment of tile lien-
tors. The Poney Club, composed of persons fu
gitives from other Statos, was virtually exempt
from tho operation of our statutes, while it used
tbs ministerial arm of justice to crush these it had
iojmod.
The Alabamians aro however a spirited and
sagacious pcoplo, nnd resolved on gcttiug that sa
tisfaction through their owt\n nlcrprizo which our
tribunals could not afford them. They formed
thtmiclves into a society under the cognomen of
Slickers or Slwkers. nnd to the uuinbcr of about
thirty, commanded hy General Lynch, invaded
oar territory, observing however tho greatest res
pect towards porsons and property, except tho
nemhers of tho Poney Club. The latter they
seised whenever discovered, sometiinc'whippmg'
them soundly on the spot and at others taking
than into the Indian country and placing the lash
ia tho hands of the aboriginals, who aro snid to
have seldom pn inch of sound skin on tho poste
rin' part of the body between the heels aud the
ucck. As yet the consequences have been most
nlatary to our State, whipping being in all cases
billowed by immediate emigration. Only one in
stance of loss of life has asyethnppcucd. An
Alabamian having been promised tho restoration
afsonie cattle stolen from him, wasou his way to
the spot at which restoration was to be made, and
net ou the road by the thief attended by a Poney
Club constable to tako the claimant into custody
»o a factitious chargo. Tho claimant was ac
companied by several persons, ono of whom was
a Mr. Goodwin of Alabama. Knowing Good
win to be resolute and of great bodily streugtli,
the thief cocked his gun and was in the act of
bringing it to his shoulder to shoot Goodwill whose
back was towards him, when tho latter, admon-
abed of bis danger, wheeled suddenly, fired, and
loigeda load of buckshot in the body of tho thief,
who instantly foil dead. This was in Carroll
comity. Goodwin went to a neighboring gold
•mo, and stopped all night in expectation of a
»«:t next day from tho Poney Club. About
twenty of them hnaded hy the snmo constable,
tpiwarod. With his gun to his shoulder, Good-
mu commanded them to halt, threatening with
matin death, tho first man who moved root or
hiM. Thny tamely obeyed; on which Goodwin
»'Iked up to them, and tapped the coustable on
“>oshoulder, informing him tiiat his presence was
wanted at tha house, iu which tho sheriff of the

Some of the snokites have their sensibility

Nullification to lie of equal authority nnd equally
entitled to veuerution! Such sentiment, how

it is really astonishiug that they should venture
to couple it with any thing like moral or religious

people of this State fur Elector of President and

He comes before the public for the following
reasons:
lSccause he has always liked thd man from bis

lieenuxe ho believes him to be a^pro a repub
lican as over lived or is now living.
Because ho is fully competent aud able to fill
that important nud responsible station, with cre
dit to himself and with prosperity and honor to his
country—and, lastly,
Because he believes Aim to bo tho man destined
to preserve the Constitution in its purity, bring a-
bout a regeneration of the trite democratic prin
ciples and feelings that conceived and formed it,
and to save the nation from dissolution, disgrace,
and rtiiu. .
As opposed to tho election of Martin Van Hu
ron to the Vice Presidency—
Because he has never liked tho man or any of
his qualities.
Became he docs cot believe him to be a repub
lican in principle, but governed by selfish motives.
Because ho is not competent to fill that iinporl-
aut station with diguily aud honor to the country,
in as much as ho conceives him to be a dishonest
politician.
Because he always oppose^ General Jackson,
until the irresistible nud wido spreading tarreut of
Juckson’s popularity induced him, from interest
ed motives, to seek his favor and become his ele
venth hour friend.
Because be is aspiring as the successor of Gen.
Jackson to the presidency, an event which could
not be beneficial to the country, the South espe
cially.
Becnuso he is the warm and devoted friend of
William II. Crawford, who is, and has over been,
together with his disciples, the most bitter and a-
buiivo enemies Jacksou over had—au<l, lastly,
Because he has no confidence in tho man what
ever: hix whole study is intrigue and manage
ment, anti the end of it, disturbances and quarrels
among tho people, connected with tho immediate
nfiairs of the guvernmcut-rcalculatcd to embitter

TOR THE MACOIS TElEORArU.
REDUCTION.
Mr. Editor—The subject of reduction seems
moro aud more to bo ongrossiug the attention of
tho people of Georgia. Wo are fully awaro of
the importnuce of the question and tho benefits
that would result from a satisfactory arrangement
of tho representation in the different sections of
tho State, but, sir, we do protest against tho pre
sent course of precedents ou this subjoct. We say
it, nud boldly, that wo nro distrustful of tho per
sons who aro tho prime movers of this matter.—
The Clark party has ever bocu ready and wil
ling to co-opcrato in measures w hich havo been
agitated or brought forward calculated to pro
mote the interest of tho State and the good of
the community, and experience, sir, has taught
mo. as one, that we havo becu too easily led in
to their fair-fetched schemes, and thou laughed
at for ottr simple credulity.
Wo have discovered, that somo dozen or so of
persons havo met at Milledgeville, with an ap
parent determiuation to carry a measure into ef
fect, that concerns tho vital interest of many
thousands, and shall wo thus submit to bo dicta
ted to hy it dozen l'roup men, whoso course has
always been that of extermination to our partyl
Wo trust that the high-minded, generous and re-
publican spirit, that lias over actuated tbo Clark
party, will promptly opposo such usurpation.—
Can wo suppose for n moment that tbo leaders
of that party liavo a single grain of good feeling
for us! Can wo suppose they would urge any
measure tbst would tend in the slightest dogreeto
promoto the prosperity or strength of the Clark
party? Experience, in a thousand instances, pal-
pahly contradicts the idea.
A huo aud cry is going among them, that this
is no party question, that Clark and Troup meu
should unite us one* in this nioasuro. Sir t wo
believo differential wo believe tbo very spirit of
faction iitelt hatched up this business; and wo arc
disposed to view it accordingly. Have the friends
of tha Clark party ever had any reason to be-
liovo, that they or the party would he benefited
by this constitutional change? Havo they nay
renson to believe, that their interest, as a party,
will bo consulted in this new arrangement? and
do they beliove for a moment, that tho very sal
vation of tho Troup party, and every arrange
ment calculated to make that salvation perma
nent, iiavonot been well weighed and.consulted
over anJ over again aud nil their plans and ar
rangements perfected aud matured?- Whether or
not they do bolieveit, we think it the safest courso
it IosUt« not to trust tham too far with the hanu*
lias of this important nnd interostiug-questjoa:
for thsfact is plain, that wo hayo ovary thing to
fear and nothing to hopo'forfrom tho Troup par-
Sir, we believe the agttailou of tjtis nnetdoa,
at the present joueturo, i» premature. *1 he - tate

Until then, we believe, thatiua multitude of coun
cil there is moretcisdom.
When the period shall hive arrived that will
find our internal measures and policy, as regards
onr sovereign rights, harmoniously regulated and
adjusted, and the external threateninge and mena
ces of usurpation and oppressions without havo
blown off on the winds of a blustering vortex,
threatening desolation ou evety sidc.butsoon calm •
ed into insignificance and oblivion, together with
the peaceable settlement of our Cherokee coun
try, with the now counties arranged, nnd organi
zed in that territory—then wo may, with some
propriety, turn our serious attention to our con
stitutional defects, with a reasonable calculation
that the policy of the State is ripe for these im
portant measures, nnd tho miuds of the people
better prepared to act on shem.

LETTERS FROM A MACON MAN.
No. G.
Charleston, May, 1832.
Dear Sin:—In my last, I promised to give you
some account of Charleston—provided 1 found
myself iu a good humor! Now it so happens, that
1 was never iu a worse humor in my life, than
since 1 have been hero. It takes somebody bo-
sides a. “Macon Man" to preserve an even tem
per in a long cold north-easter like this. I defy
any onr, uot belonging to the class Amphibitc, to
<io it. Why, *ti» enough to overcome tho philo
sophy of a signpost! i cun neither see tho city,
nor tuc ladies. 1 cannot walk ou the battery, iior
sailiu the harbor, nor ride on the railway—all for
the rniu. Tho most ono can do is, to mew him
self up in his chamber, and nurse the blues for
compauy. Wooing the muses is entirely out of
tho question—the sex being proverbially unpropi-
tious iu bad wenthor. So, if my letter is titigtol
with blue, or grccu—or is as fiat as the cotton
market in dog duys, don't lay tho blatno on me—,
'tis eutircly owing to this viil.tnous north-easter,
which has cramped my pen, aud turned iny ink to
gall. Or, if the city of Charleston is paroled in
less beautiful colors thnn you expected to see it,
or perhaps thau it reafly is—attribute it to tho
same cause, this abominable storm, which has
dosed every avcuucof amusement, nnd wrapped
the whole city in mist and gloom. 1 can only de
scribe things as they appear to me—uot as limy
may appear to others. Therefore, you may bg-
liove me or not, svltcn I assure you, that I never
(to my recollection,) spent three days in a muddi
er, windier, colder aud more unsociable plnce in
my life! where every body loohs.mad and uv)an-
cliuly; and every thing looks damp and dismal!
Charleston it half a century older than Savan
nah—which may account for its looking sit much
moro portly and venerable. Compared' to 8a-
vannao. therefore, it b sin old eity—irod-U begins
to look old and grey—not to say grisly and grim.
It possesses though a good deal otoc//ti<y for its
age—no city in too sontb, nnd fow north or south,
being able to outrun it. It boasts a good deal,
on havipg left Savannah, young aud fresh (poking
as site is, so far behind. The reason of tkisoue-
cess is, Savaunnh, like most modern fashionable-
belles, prides herself a great deal upon hnrelccfi-
rum: tne would uot bate one jot of her dignity to
win the greatest raco in the empire. Her sister
Charleston is not so fastidious: she fixss hcr eye
on the goal, (lifting up her dress when it prevents
her spcoil4 aud makes fur it—caring little, provi
ded she win the stake, about her dignity or com
plexion—which Bavauaah would rather dio than
jeopardise. Perhaps bowover when tho latter city
gets at old as her sitter, she may view tilings in
the same light.
It cannot be dented that this is a commercial
place. Every where Is heard (notwithstanding
the weather,) tbo note of business, tho tramp of
hurried feet, and the coufnsion of tourues, attend-
nut on tho extensive operations of commerce.
All tha pcoplo are basinets people—and every
thing is doue with an eye to utility. NetYng it
done forsfiaw. The buildings are generally plain,
but strong, commodious and fire proof. Home
however nro spacious nud elegant. The streets
are mostly qsrram, crooked aud dirtyt aud good
wutir i-i:nnc.
(j): (riesimt hsrbor istp|c!on»andsafe, but ves
sels of the Isrgo .t site cannot pass the bSr. ' The
harbor is amply tWradod by loriiScations or. the
contiguous islands- Ths vsstbrn side ef the city
In the rear'of the

Here aro
of public wprship, 5 daily newspapers, and as
many weokly ones, a state arsenal, court house,

braries, Sec. kc. The market house has uot much
to boast of—but the market itself is tlie best in
the South—perhaps iu the United States,J^inq
abundantly supplied with meats, vegetalilflfcmd
fruit, of every description. 1 cannot'say much
for the theatre—it is u little larger than the one iu
Savaunnh. hut uot so neat in the' interior—the
company no great things. Ship building is cur
ried on to some extent here; and certain manu
factures begin to excite attention. There are .sun
dry steam mills in the place.
Opposite the city, on Sullivan’s islaud, stands
Fort Moultrie, rendored famous hy the repulse of
a British fleet which attacked it iu 177G.
Charleston is generally considered healthy—
when it is not, a salubrious retreat is found on
Sullivan’s island, seveu miles distant.
Charleston was settled in lGSU—uud first incor
porated itt 1783. It is governed by an intcud-
eul and 12 wardens, chosen annually by the peo
ple. Whole population upwards of 30,*0(jD.*
Many aro looking forward to the completion of
the Kail road lienee to-Hamburg as the period
that st ill seal the prosperity of this place, nud the
fate of Snvaiiuah. Rut doubts exist with some, of
the Railway ever being completed; aud if com
pleted; (there being" nlready a good steamboat"
navigation between tho two extremes, which
mast continue to monopolize most of tbo heavy
freight,) that the tolls will not be sufficient to keep-
it iu repair. And eveu if they should, I do uot
see how Savannah is to be greatly a fleeted by it.
She will command about the same trade she has
always had, which must increase with the growth
of the western counties. Adieu. Yours as usual.
