SA TUR DA Y MORXIJYG, AUG VS T 23.
The authority of “ King Caucus” not having
been sufficiently powerful to drive a competitor
from the field, the following, it is befiovod, will be
a correct list of the candidates offering for the
next congress:
T. IT. P. CHARLTON, of Chatham.
JAMES M. WAYNE,
JOHN A. CUTHBERT, “ Monroe.
DANIEL BItAILSFOHD, “ Mlntosh.
THOMAS F. FOSTER “ Greene.
CHARLES WILLIAMSON, Baldwin.
WILEY THOMPSON, “ Elbert
RICHARD H. WILDE, “ Richmond.
WILSON LUMPKIN, “ Morgan.
JAMES MERRIWEATHER, Clark.
GEORGE R. GILMER, “ Oglethorpe.
CHARLES E. HAYNES, “ Hancock.
WILLIAM TRIPLETT; “ Wilkes.
Seven out of the thirteen above named gentle
men are to be elected ; and the only consideration
with the voter should be, who of the candidate 8
will honestly and truly support the constitution of
his country, and cling to the union of the states.
This is not a time when personal likings or dis
likings should be allowed a controling influence.
There may be seasons when we may safely in
dulge the softer feelings of our nature, and sup
port a candidate for office on grounds of private
friendship. But this is not such a season. The
institutions of our couutry—our national govern
ment, has been secretly undermined—the union
of the states has been openly threatened—and the
destiny of this great nation hangs upon the cast
ing of a vote ! Let the disciples of Governor
Giles and Dr. Cooper obtain a controling power
over the southern states —let the spirit of dis.
union gain a foothold in the halls of Congress,
and the glory of our country - “its greatness—its
very name, will “ vanish like the baseless fabric
of a dream!”
In regard to the two candidates offering from
this county, “we can vouch for them.” They are
men of republican principles, and true national
feelings. If elected to Congress, they will sup*
port the “ Union of the states and the states of
the Uunion ” Mr. Charlton is a republican ofthe
school of Jefferson, and a patriot of the times of
James Jackson. In other times, in the more pros
perous days of Georgia, he stood high in her con
fidence, and proved himself worthy of it. Can it
be, that she has forgotten him ?
Let the other sections of the state also rally
round the true friends of their country —and
there are enough of them on the list here presen
ted—and Georgia is safe—she may bid defiance
to demagogues without, and to traitors at home.
Kentucky Election. —The result of the bal
loting, in several counties, on the two first days,
have reached us. No opinion can yet be formed as
to the final issue. The administration candidates
yet run ahead; but the Jackson papers assert,
that the counties heard from are the centre of
Mr. Clay’s influence and popularity.
The Baltimore Patriot, of the 12th, an admi
nistration print, says:
“ The returns, as far as heard from, present a
good beginning. In the thirteen counties heard
from, on the first day, and in a few on the second,
the Administration majority over the Jackson
ticket, was seventeen hundred and fifty-seven;
that is, allowing the Jackson majority in Scott
county to be 450, as given in the Reporter. It
will be seen, however, that the first day s returns,
as given in the Maysviiie Eagle, give the Jack
son majority in bcott as only ‘Too ; this difference,
added to the administration majority, makes it
nineteen hundred and decent ij-Ucu.
A letter from a respectable citizen of Balti
more, dated Maysviiie, Kentucky, August fi, says :
“ 1 have just arrived at this place (2d day of the
election; and iroui the information received, I
have every reason to believe the Administration
cause in Kentucky is safe.”
The National Intelligencer, of the 14th, has the
following :
“ The Kentucky Election. —By the last mail,
returns were received of the first day’s election in
several counties, and in some, also, of tiie second
days election. They present, altogether, a majo
rity, in tavor of the Administration side of the
question, of about two thousand. As far as it
goes, this looks well. Let us not, however, exult
by anticipation, since a few days will give us re
turns of the three days voting from the most
populous of the counties. The friends of General
Jacason, in tneir estimate of the probabilities of
the election, claimed for Air. Barry, their candi
date for Governor, a majority of 7,000 votes over
Mr. Metcalfe, if, after this, Mr. Metcalfe shall
succeed, instead of Mr. Barry, we hope that they
wili acknowledge a signal defeat.”
From Illinois. —A correspondent of the Balti
more Patriot, whom the Editor states to be a
respectable citizen of Baltimore, writes as fol
lows :
“ I suppose, ere this 4 you have heard of the
favorable result of the election in Louisiana and
Illinois .”
FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY
It is a remarkable fact, that exigencies, which
require great exertions of men, always inspire or
call forth talents equal to such exertions. It is not
important to enquire now, whether these great oc
casions do actually inspire great talent, or only
awaken its slumbering fires. History teaches,
that when, in the great tragedy of human afiairs,
aa important scene is to be enacted, distinguished
acti'rs appear upon the stage. Such was emi
nently the fact in the period of the American Re
volution—a period characterized by great and
com. uanding exigencies, and fertile in great and
talented men. But the history of our country for
the year IH2B will furnish a tenfold more striking
and felicitous illustration of this general principle,
than was furnished by the trying days of the Re
volution. It is more striking, because the talents
inspired by a great event of this year are more per
fectly in keeping with that great event, and more
exactly equal to the great exertions it demands,
than those were which the necessities of the Re
volutionary period required. Then, an oppressed
people was to be guided through a perilous & pro
traced struggle for freedom, and independent na
tional existence. This was a great occasion, and
it did call forth great talents, which the world ad
mired, and shall admire more and more. But this
year a law has been enacted by Congress, impos
ing a duty upon foreign broadcloth, which, say
Governor Giles and Dr. Cooper, is unjust, and un
fair, and ought to be resisted. This is truly a
wonderful and stupendous event, and, of course, it
lias called forth wonderful and stupendous powers
and exertions of intellect, and has awakened such
magnanimity and nobleness or soul, as are worthy
alone ofthe great object to be attained; which is,
the high and noble one of giving a fearless and
manly expression to an honorable aversion to pay
Ia few cents per yard duty on British cloth, for
the benefit of tho country. This law they strive
not to have repealed, or to expediency
tested by experience, or its constitutionav*t y es
tablished by the proper tribunal ; but now, they
believe it. is to be resisted, not by argument, but by
brute force; and this is the mighty labor which
has fanned to life the mouldering fires of patriot
ism, and nerved anew the Herculean sinews, and
aroused anew the intrepidity of a most sapient
Doctor, and a most truly honorable and indubita
blv valorous Congress-man in South Carolina. —
And who could have believed that same member of
Congress possessed of such talents as this momen
tous cause has called into action? Who could have
believed him such a gifted mortal; such a peaceful,
dutiful, and patriotic citizen, as he has proved to
be? Verily, the high sentiments he has uttered,
and the floods of patriotism and wisdom, and peace
ful subordination to the laws of his country, which
he has lately poured forth, must be referred to the
joint inspiration of Whiskey and this great occa
sion. But, even under this double excitement, it
is matter of marvel to find so great a man. A
good man, and brave, we had always deemed him
to be ; for, of his sterling virtue, his every day
private life furnishes illustrious proof, and of his
bravery ho did aforetime give ludicrous proof at
Washington—but, until now, we had never con
ceived goodness, and greatness, and bravery, so
to harmonize in his composition, and beautifully
co-operate in making him such a man, as “take
him all in all, we may never see his like again.” —
His fellow-citizens will now see the validity of his
claims to public patronage, and his qualifications
for any office, high even as his highest aspirations
and fondest anticipations. Did he not anticipate
his destination to the first place under the learned
Doctor, of tar-burning celebrity, in the new gov
ernment they are projecting, he would doubtless
ask to be elected to Congress by a perpetual mem
bership, the constitution to the contrary notwith
standing ; for, to such great men, the constitution
is nothing—law is nothing. If he should ask it.,
his constituents would no doubt elect him, even if
the great Doctor himself should enter the list as a
rival candidate. They would do more than this ;
they would stand forth the vindicators of his cha
racter, and the indignant repellers of every false
charge, of plagiarism, or frothiness, or pugnacity,
which may be brought against him, by any saucy,
hot-headed, witless boy of Rhode Island. They
know him now to be a staunch and sterling patri
ot—a great and learned man—and he has every
thing to hope, and nothing to fear—for lie must,
and will, be kept quite “out of harm’s way.”
The men of Colleton, too, were wonderfully in
spired by this great event. They must have been
raised to an unutterability of emotion at the very
first conception of the stupendous importance ofthe
crisis, and the mighty consequences to result from
the deliberations and decisions of such an august,
honorable body. The sublime emotions which
guided and elevated and sustained the decisions of
the great council of 7(5, and which filled tire house
where it was convened, with the solemnity and
stillnesss of a house of death, on the eventful 4th
of July, when they signed the declaration, and de
termined to lead the nation through the dark val
ley and shadow of death, up to political light and
life—must have been but tame and every-day
emotions, in comparison with the elevated and ele
vating feelings which pervaded this assemblage of
Colleton men. In the bantling of the Convention,
which they christened an address, they institu
ted a comparison between the subject matter of
the deliberations of these two councils, in which
they very wisely, and in great charity to them
selves, determined the greater importance to be in
favor of the Colleton body. They thought they
had dearer rights to maintain and sorer oppression
to resist, and more vexatious and flagiant injuries
to redress. New Revolutionary scenes, they say,
must now be enacted—even now, for concession
and forbearance have been carried to the point,
beyond which they degenerate into abject and
craven submission. It is time to stop, and assert
their manliness and independence, and show their
insatiably avaricious oppressors, that they will lie
in the dust no longer, and that the rattlesnake has
not lost his fangs, nor put off his vengeful and insi
dious nature. Valorous and doughty men ! they
have come out in the wake of the good Doctor and
the great and honorable Congress man, and oppos
ed themselves, single-handed, against the consti
tuted authorities of their country, and have man
fully thrown the gauntlet of defiance at the foot of
the nation, and girded themselves for the onset.—
The issue is painfully doubtful. It is a time of
agonizing interest and wretched suspense to all
friends of the Union—it is called to contend at
“ such fearful odds”—only twenty-four small
States must stand against all Colleton, and the sa
pient Doctor and all his pupils, and all the hopeful
and precocious boys of Franklin College, and all
that most puissant and polyphemic man of Con
gress. Alas for my country ! must all exclaim,
even in anticipation of the result—alas for my
country ! and, like the Grecian sage, lay one hand
upon their hearts, and with the other point signifi
cantly to the heavens.

FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY.
“When some hypothesis, absurd and vain,
Has fill'd with all its fumes a critic's brain,
The text, that sorts not with his darling whim,
Though plain to others, is obscure to him.
The w ill made subject to a law less force,
All is irregular and out of course ;
And judgment drunk, and brib’d to lose his way,
Winks hard, and talks of darkness at noon-dav ”
Mr. Editor : It is astonishing what an itching
desire some men have to criticise w ith the utmost
harshnes every manifest disposition in others for
the promotion of morality and virtue. It seems as
if they are attacked, by some kind of mama, or
restlessness of disposition, for its abduction ; and,
like the fabled dog in the manger, they will neither
participate in virtuous conduct themselves, nor
sutler others to do so—thus cherishing an envious
enmity for principles they do not possess, and a
kind of crack-brained enthusiasm for the abolition
of every moral virtue.
I have been induced to make thoge remarks, in
consequence of reading that wonderful appeal con
tained in your Monday’s paper; that emanation
from the very focus of iniquity—which, like a
“Phoenix from her ashes,” no doubt astonished the
community, especially when she was seen hovof
ing over the haljcinations of genius, and the ini
tials ofthe authoiin the shape of L. G. T. dang
ling gracefully fren her toes.
In that delect|)le communication, I discover
that the author ap>ears in violent trouble, because
he thinks there hs been some infraction on the
Laws of God, anc points out the Sunday Union
Society as the party versus ; and he arraigns the
institution, in consequence of their determination
to give their ms a ence and their funds to those
they think most cL. or „i nO . 0 f them, or, in other
words, to those who may fool disposed to agree
with them on the necessity oi keeping
bath day holy. Now, I would simply remark, that
the Society referred to is an independent one, and
if they, in promoting the interest of the institu
tion, or for any other purpose agreeable to them
selves, think proper to withdraw or give influence
to those they may select, that no one has a right
to ethnplain, because they only exercise a right
which is peculiar to themselves, or rather a privi
lege which belongs to them, and which, when
used, from all that I can learn, is for the best and
dearest interests of the community. If this liber
ty, or the exercise of it, is censurable, either by
the Laws of God or any other law, I must ac
knowledge my ignorance of it, and request ano
ther, onus probandi. In impugning the honest
exertions of the abovernentioned institution, he
also remarks something about his and the commu
nity’s astonishing ignorance of their duty to God
on the Sabbath day, by asking what that duty is.—
I would refer him, for a history of it, (to that Book
from which ie would fain quote, if he could ; but
to which, in Us speech, he strongly refers.) to the
20th chapter of Exodus—then, to the first ten year
old boy T he meets in the street, and next, to the
laws of this State and his own conscience. These,
I presume, are the only laws that govern the in
stitution—and these are the laws which every
well-wisher to society hopes may not be destroy,
ed.
In abrogating what every one knows to be an
absolute duty, critics should be extremely ingeni
ous and extremely eloquent, to deceive—and a
man who throws corruption, mental disease, and
opposition to every good principle, into the face
and eyes of an enlightened community, and
preaches a sacred doctrine as his authority for do
ing so, is preparing a quantity of combustible
matter, to explode and leave himself, the relic and
ridicule of common sense, behind, to be exposed
as an inconsistent demagogue.
Before 1 take leave, I wish to state, that I do
not belong to the Society, nor any particular reli
gious sect. So, wishing L. G. T. more orthodoxy
and attention to the laws he appears by his refer
ences to have dreamed about, I bid him—a first,
a long, a last—farewell.

FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY.
Mr. Editor: Having seen a short time since a
communication in the Mercury, recommending
Dr. Moses Sheftall as a proper person for the May
oralty of this city, and subsequently one in the
Republican, recommending Colonel W in. T. Wil
liams, as one better qualified in the opinion of that
writer , I am induced to trouble you with a few
observations in relation to those gentlemen, and
their claims for this office oi distinction.
In advocating the cause of one man in prefer
ence to that of another, it has not been my cus
tom to endeavor to take away from him who I least
prefer what justly belongs to him. lam well ac
quainted with Col. Williams; I have known him
as a citizen as an otficer, and as a member of
Council; in all of which situations 1 like and re
spect him ; yet it does not follow that he is better
qualified, and more entitled to the office of Mayor
than any other person. Dr. Shcitall has claims on
the people of Savannah, which Col. Williams has
not —he has served them longer, and always with
out fee or reward. I have seen Dr. Sheftall as
President of the Union Society, as Justice ofthe
Inferior Court, and as Alderman; the duties of
which offices, in all instances, he discharged faith
fully, with credit to himself and usefulness to
others. Hence, would not the presumption follow,
that, if he has so ably and satisfactorily discharg
ed the duties of Justice of the Inferior Court,
which are more arduous than those of Mayor, that
he is qaalified to act in a situation of less responsi
bility, and one that requires less legal information.
That Dr. Sheftall would perform the duties of
Mayor as promptly and as satisfactorily as any
other citizen that could be selected, with unpre
judiced minds, there can be no doubt; and, as this
is the first time that his friends have solicited him
to accept of an office to which any compensation
has been attached, it is hoped that he will be suc
cessful.
It has been but a short time since, Dr. Sheftall
was pressingly called on to accept and to act a se
cond or third time as a Justice of the Inferior
Court. This he had done, not from any wish of
his own, but merely to oblige and comply with the
wishes of his fellow-citizens: and who is there in
the county that would not regret to see him again
resign that station ? Col. Williams has been but
three years a member of Council—Dr. Sheftall
has been there much longer ; is better acquainted
with the ordinances ; his existence commenced
in Savannah ; it, is his intention never to live any
where else ; therefore, no one can have a greater
interest in its welfare. The salary, as Mayor, to
Dr. Sheftall, would be very acceptable, and his
friends ask the aid of the citizens of Savannah in
giving it to him. ELMENDOREF.

PASSAGE OF THE DANUBE.
The offend bulletin, from the Camp at
Satonnowa, of the 3d June, N. S , details
the operations connected with the passage
ofthe Danube The Turks had thrown
up entrenchments near the gates ot Isakt
scha, planted cannon and made show of re
sistance. The position was advantageous,
and commanding. These batteries opened
on the Russians ; the Turkish right was pro
tected by an impassable morass ; the ieli by
the fortress of lsaktsclia.
It was necessary to force this position,
and to effect it a brigade of Chasseurs, on
loot, was embarked at Ismail and asceudeu
the Danube in merchant ships, escorted bs
a part of the flotil a At another place two
divisions under the command ot General
Kudzwich, made a junction at the point
w here the river was to be crossed and on
the 7ih of June, his Majesty joined them
After delivering Ins orders, he repaired to
the encampment of the regiments ot Tsche
migoff and Poltova. A solemn te deum
was sung, and on the 8;h at 1 o’clock, tin
Emperor took his post on an eminence at
the commencement of the dyke whicii led
to the Danube. At dawn, a battery of 24
twelve pounders erected to silence the fire
of the Tuikish batteries opened a cannon
ade in concert with the flotilla. i lie
Turks answered with vigour ; but the em
barkation was effected The Attaman ot
the Z iporogue Cossacks, proffered his light
batieaux and his cossacksfor the Emperor’s
sei vice, and oispl yed most zeal an* useful
activity at this moment. In gaining the
Turkish bank of the River, the Russians
had to sustain he enemy’s cannonade, and
to cross a deep marsh, both which obstacles
were overcome, and the right shore ol the
Danube gained.
The Commandant of the flotilla, though
wounded at the commencement of the ac
tion, did riot quit his post At eleven o’-
clock the Turkish batteries, one of which
had been underminded and exploded, kii
ling and wounding thirty men, were in tiie
power of the Russians. Eight battalhons,
and several cannon were disembarked, and
the Turks were in full retreat towards the
fortress of lsaktsclia, of which they set fire
to the suburbs. They lost 12cannons and
2 mot tars. Their loss was not known; that
of the Russians was less than might have
been expected. It was supposed that a
bridge wouid be completed over the river
in a few days.
Cape of Satounowa, June 11th. —The
embarcation of the Russians continued, af
ter the passage of the Danube was effected.
The constitution of the bridge was carried
on with rapidity. On the 9th, at 11 o’-
clock, the remaining suburbs of Isaktfsch.*
were consumed by the Turks. In theat
ternoon, the Emperor crossed to the Tur
kish side, conducted by the Zaporogue
Cossacks, late subjects of the Porte, aud
after visiting the posts which had been oc
cupied, returned.
On the 10th a letter from the Pacha d’-
Isaktscha announced his intention to sur
render. He was allowed until 10 the next
morning to accept the capitulation offered.
On the morning two Turkish deputies ap
proached to give notice that the terms were
accepted, and the fortress ready to surren
der. At three o’clock two pachas, Evoul
the commandant of isaktscha, and Hassan
who had been driveu to take refuge there
after the defeat of iiis troops on the 7th,
paid their respects to the Emperor. The
town was occupied by the Russians; who
found the shops all open, and the inhabit
ants ready to receive them, mingling peace
fully with the officers and soldiers.
The garrison and the two Pachas had per
misson to retire at liberty. 85 pieces of
artillery. 17 standards, the munitions and
provisions of the fortress, which were con
siderable, fell into the hands of the Rus
sians. On the same day news was recei
ved of a battle which took place on the 9’• h,
near Brailaw, between the two flotillas.—
The Russians had seventeen barks of all
sizes; the Turks thirty two. The fight
commenced in the morning and was very
brisk; but the Turkish admiral soon struck
his flag, and after some hours twenty five
other Turkish vessels were laken, sunk,
burnt or run aground. The six that re
mained took shelter under the guns of the
Castle of Matchine. This victory render
ed the situation of Brabilow still more cri
tical. The bridge on the Danube was com
pleted. A brigade of cavalry was crossing
at the latest advices, and the whole army
was to follow.

Our Cotton market 1 emains very
but rather inactive, as you will perceive
by your list of sales. Our stock of tins
lay is 51,123 bales. We are not alarmed
b> the present backwardness of buyers,
nur ou tiie other hand elaied by the certain
ty of the crop of the United States betff
much smaller than that oi last year. V*e
see no good reason to fear a decline, aid
as little for expecting any important h*
provement from present rates. The pnd
ces here will be regulated by the quant:?
on hand and to come forward before M
new crop can be brought into the market;
and we think there will be quite sufficin’
to satisfy iiie demand for the nianthH
turers.
