The progress ol events is ra idly bringing tho
country to the condition when but two parties
will contend with each other—the one the Ameri
can Party , the other the Foreign Party. The
American Party will seek the restoration of the
government to American control, euch as it was
whoa it came fresh from the American people.
The Foreign Party will seek to propitiate the for
eign f(, o ni6nty pander to its insolent ambition and
asp ri: g f redominance, coutond for the continu
ance and extension ot its privileges, cringe with
servillity to its dictates, and offer new bribes for
its friendship. The simple fact that the next elec
tion cf a President of the United States may turn
upon tho assertion or the renunciation by the
American People of the doctrine that “Americans
alrue -hall rule America,” should be eufliciont to
astonish aud alarm us. If tho doctrine be re
nounced, it will be owing to the overpowering
lorco of tho foreign element in our population.
Tho mighty power ot that element has been guaged
by tho astute politicians who are allied to it. They
have measured ita length and breadth, its height
aud its depth, and they are willing to stake their
destinies ou its omnipotence. It was the Pretorian
guards, composed of foreign mercenaries who
put up for sale tne Imperial purj le at Home,
and it ia tne foreign mercenaries among us
who now offer to tho politicians who hold the
rains ct party sway, the next Presidency, as tho
f>rico of favors to be conferred on them, and privi
eges perpetuated hereafter. There is no country,
there never has been any country, where such an
issue, if squarely, fairly, and distinctly presented
to the people, coul J be decided any other than one
way, and that in favor of the “ country borneP
Will the people of ihe Uuited States repudiate a
sentiment of this sort ? T oy will do such thing.
Already they have arisen spontaneously and rush
ed to tne standard inscribed with the words, “The
Americans shall rule America.” It is vain for
politicians to attempt to arrest the progress of the
American party by efforts to adopt portions of the
creods which distinguish other p arties.
It will not tl us be induced to endanger the cause
in which it is engaged. Tho safety ot the people
ia tho supreme law, and while that safety is endan
gered, every thing else ie of subordinate interest.
“ Place none but Americans on guard,” was he
order of Washington in a crisis of imminent dan

WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC B. 6, 1855.
NOSEY ! Nff JET!! IHOYEY !!!
It is a long time since we gave our debtors
“ a talk r about money. It is, however, now ne
cessary, and we desire to say to them in all can
dor, we need the prompt payment of whatever
they owe. This is important as we have order
ed and expect to receive, in a few days, our new
type, for which we have agreed to pay cash, and
our resources aie confined to our debtors. And
this is the season of the year when every man
can pay such small bills with perfect conve
nience. we expect a prompt response to this call.
After the first of January next, we shall be
more rigid in enforcing payment in advance for
all subscriptions. So those in arrears w-ould do
well to prepare themselves for that event, if they
wish to receive the paper.
Tennessee and Georgia.
Bome difficulty seems to be brewing between
these two sovereignties at present, growing out of
the Western Atlautic Road. A small portion
of this road 1 es within the borders of Tennessee,
and the courts of that Stato are about Tiding it to
death. If a Tennessee speenfitor happens to lose
money on a lot of corn, flour or bacon, shipped
from Chattanooga, he r.as only to bring suit agiinst
the W. & A. Railroad, and the Tennessee Courts
and jiriea are sure to give him damages enough to
cover all hie 10.-ste, end insure him a good profit
in tho bargain. This is an outrage upon our
State, which ought not to be borne. Mr. Dabney,
of Gordon coun’y, has introduced a Bill into the
Senate, to tell that part of the Read winch lies in
Tennessee. Wohopjthis Bdl will pass: and if
we can’t sell it, we are in tavor cf giviDg it away ;
and if we can’t give i away, let us do like the man
did with the coon skin, which he could neither sell
nor give away—let ns lose i\ By all means, let
us get rd o! it. Tho Tennessee courts have al
ready defrauded us of more money, than the earn
ings of that part of the road have ever paid ; and
will no doubt continue to do so, as long as we own
it. Wo are decidedlg opposed to turniog a wheel

! - ia» , y sirtialiy ad minis! tree in
aeunessee as aoj other State in the Union. There
is no reason why it Bhould not bo, for they have
a* efficient a judiciary as other States, and their
juries arc equally honest. The fault is not in the
Tennossce Courts or juries, but alone in the man
agement of the Road—and wh3n that is corrected
the Road will have no more difficulty than other
Roads. Let the management of the Road be in
the hands of an intelligent and efficient man, who
has the capacity to discover and acknowledge the
rights of others, and the integrity and honesty to
promptly repair any damage that may be sus
tained, from negloct or otherwise, by persons
having business connections with the Road, and
there will bo com par ati civ little business given
to the Courts of Georgia or Tennessee. That this
has not been the case heretoloiois known to every
intelligent man, familiar with the management of
the Road, andjt will not do to attempt to make
the Courts and juries cf Tennessee responsible for
this mismanagement.
To show to every impartial man that our charge
of mismanagement is strictly true, wo need only
refer to a few facts, and we might add numerous
others equally conclusive.
It is well known that a few years Biuce the Agents
at Chattanooga receipted for all Cotton received at
that depot “in bad order ” without any reference
t) its conditicn. Tho receipts were so printed.—
This was a dishonorable trick to avoid responsi
bility for damagos.
Again it was shown that the losses sustained by
shippers of Grain, Bacon, and other perishable
produce, era caused in a great measure by a reg
ular system of favoritism, and the attempt of the
road to do more than it bud tho ability to accom
plish. This was no fault of shippers. These
claims cm id have been settled promptly at the
time at a mush smaller amount than was subsj
quently recovered in tho Courts; but those hav
ing the management of the road, so far from ne
gotiating for u settlement, seldom treated claimants
courteously.
The oase of MoUj.in<*, who recently recovered
ton thousand dollars <lama,*eß for the breaking of
his leg, the result of naisrna uagement on the road,
by puling the pasvc.nger car ahead of the engine,
could have been settled at the time of his recovery,
we learn, by simply paying his board and physi
cians’ bill, less than three htuidrcd dol'arj, which
was refused by thjß road. Ho did not, even in the
first claim, make a demand for the time lost from
business, some five or six months. But when he
was compelled to resort to the Courts for that jus
tice which ti e road had denied, he claimed heavy
damages, and they were granted. This state of
facts will be found, upon investigation, to exist in
almost every cl ,e.
» Another ca* of recent occurrence within the
itti.t sow moot aud wo have done for ihe present.
A n bo> . shipped from Oimtaii* • * o Lis
t cotton. O r ie Btale E'>ad one oar
a T.'a n i romaiuder reached this city and wsi
i sold. Th actors made out a t>iii fo* the burnt
• cottoi« •? i same price the balance lad beeueold
for, .he average v, sigh.a, (tuai-h© oflies hau
not beon numbered ihoro was no other means of
arriving l.t their weight,) and presented the bill
to tbo pri seut superintendent for payment, which
wut relueed. and au cli’er made to pay the priceat
which co’ ton was selling in Chattanooga at the
time the cotton was burnt, with some ten per cent
damages. And notwithstanding the remonstrau
-1 ccs of the President of the Georgia Railroad, ho
- persisted in this relusal untii he was informed
that sue* was to bo immediately commenced for
the am- rnt with damages. Such a want of com
me r c al honesty and integrity would disgrace any
oomiaar cial man, yet there are those whoattimpt
to defer d the management of the road.
The defect in the management of the road is
radical, and may bo traced directly to tbo Gov
ernor, whoso narrow and contracted policy has
mad© tho offices on the road the reward for politi
cal sct vices. Tho incumbents know lull well that
so long as they do the bidding of their master,
their places aro safe, honce they are indifferent as
to the great interests of the State, and the people
are made to foot the bills for their negligence.
On any other road in Georgia, Agents and of
ficers , who pursue such a policy as the officer on
the B‘.ate Road, would be promptly discharged,
while on tho State Road, tho only discharges, wo
1 hear of, are for their refusal to vote for Governor
Johnson. This is the great secret —the foundation
of mismanagement.
Unanimity ox Sentiment in the Democratic
Party.—The Democracy of Kentucky passed a
senes of resolutions at Lexington, on the sth of
Octobar. The Democracy of Illinois met at Chi
cago the other day, and also pat sad a aeries of
resolutions. They aie identical in sentiment and
almost in teims. L'ff the Democracy of this State
rea l the response of Illino a to their resolutions.
It is the response 01 tho great Northwest, and ex
presses the political views of the Democracy of the
Union. Co East, West, North, and wo have the
same political doctrines in the great Democratic
party of the country.— Louisville Democrat.
The above precious specimen of verae ty is te
ing extensively copied by the Democratic organs
in the South, with the hope, doubtless, that many
of their unsophisticated readers, whose sources of
information are confined to their columns, will re
gard the statement of tho li Democrat 11 as strictly
true. Went the character of the mooting in Lex
iagton w.-s, we know not, but presume it was a
mere meeting of the politicians and some citizens
of Lex i glon. That ? non wa* the character of tho
meeting in Chicago, we know, and this is called
“ the Democracy of Illinois.” The people cf the
State had no connection whatever with the meet
ing, ani yet the }rcceedinga are announced as
“the response of the great Northwest to Ken
tucky, and as expressing the political views of the
Democracy of the Union!” This is decidedly cool
and refreshing. Nor is this all, the Democrat as
sures its readers, that go East, West and North,
and the principles of the Democracy arc tho earns '
Wonderful party, indeed, and most wonderfully
do the organs draw upon “their fancy for their
facts.”
Our readers are familiar with the sentiments of
the Van Rubens and Softs of New-York, who are
recognised in Washington as the Democratic par
ty proper in that State; and they are aware bow

the great Northwest, and her Democracy in Btate
Convention, not in a toten meeting, Wtcly parsed
the followmg resolution:
h'(solved, That the people of Ohio, now, as they
have always done, look upon slavery as an evil,
and unfavorable to tho development of the spirit
and practical benefit of free institutions, and that,
entertaining these sentiments, they will at all
times feel it to be their duty to use all power
clearly giver; by the terms of the national compact,

eradicate its evils.
We commend this resolution to the study of
those Democratic organs at the South who have
published the Democrats libe! upon the democracy
of the Union.
Si ate Road. —The Atiac a Republican, speaking
of the coir mission to examine into the condition

on the road, they may discover some rich things.
There are item- we know, that would look fanny
to an an prejudiced committe, and be interesting
to the stockholders in that $5,000,000 investment.
o. r course the committee will not be too inquisi

Ta* Republican need not feel any fears for the
composition of the committee, it will certainly be
of the “ t clite-toashing 11 cla?s, or a majority of it.
There are many thi. gs conn.ctod with the road’s
management, that will not bear the light. One of
which we now recollect is, the expenditure of over
jioe tJuusand dollars in the last year f->r printing.
There meal be giosa fraud in this somewhere, for
it is quite doable what the Georgia Road pays,
which is nearly double the length. It certainly
needs explanation.

Tto© Jati Bird*—A Hard HU.
Sons ©orrespcndeDts of the Savannah Georgian
have ventured to comment upon the manner in
which Mr. Alexander, of the Kepublican, as a
member of Council and Coairman of the Jail Com
mittee, had discharged his duties, to which he
responds in the following paragraph. The refer
ence to thojdl-birJs wa3 not. wry g’atclul, we
imagine, to the delicate pa’ate* of the Savannah
Dotnccrsuy, who succeeded in introducing so many
illegal voters at the election in October. Tho con
duct of the Democracy toward their Foreign allies ,
is certaiuly not very creditabio to them. After
inducing the debased wretches to vote their tit ke f ,
they should have stood by them in the hour of
difficulty:
“Mr. AUxander’s compl mens to tho Georgian (
and its corps of contributors, aui would couiesß
that, for very good reasons, he has made but tew
visits to the Jail this year in hi* capaci’y of AL er
mar. Tho satre cannot bo said however of the
‘anti Know Nothing’ party which is uow perma
nently represented in the Jail by nine most houo
rable citizens , who were put tbe _ e under a charge
of il egal votiDg a. the la’e election. Ssarch war
rants were issue-- for some fifty ethers of tbesame
sort, bnt up to the present time it has been im
possible to fay hands upon them, they having
ta&en to their heels in the confident belief that
there is more virtua in a pair of good legs then »n
twe’ve honest jurors. Bat for this flight bom
their country for their coantrv’e good, it is more
than possible that the ‘anti Know Nothing’ ropro
sentation iu the county Jail would have been
sufficiently large to have dispensed with any Visits
whatever from the chairman of the Jail committee
—nnless, as sorao may think, the g r ector their
number, the greater should have b eu tbo vigi
lance of the chairman. Bs this as it may, lie
Georgian audits friends should have been the last
to complain; for dereliction of da yon his pari
only increased opportunities oi their imprisoned
friends escaping and being voted through at the

Mr, Clay to Francis P. Blair,
WAB3LNQTON, January 8, 1825.
My Pear Sir:—My p>it on in relation to tho
friends of the three returned candidates, is singu
gular enough, and often to me very amusing. In
the first place, they all beiisvc that roy friends
have the power of deciiing the question, and then
that I haveths power cf controlling my friends.
Acting upon this supposition, in the sumo hour 1
am sometimes to iched gently ou the shoulder by
a friend, for example, oi Gen. Jackson, who will
thus address me :
“My dear si , ail my dependence is upon you ;
don’t disappoint us; you know our partiality was
for you next to the hero, and how much we want
a Western President.” Immediately sfuor, a
friend of Mr. Crawford will aeoost mo :
“The hopes of ‘he Republican party are concen
tre ed ou you ; for God’s *ako preserve it. If you
had been returned instead of Mr. Crawford, every
man of us would have supported you to the bet
hour. We consider him and you as the only genu
ine Republican candidates.” Next a friend of Mr.
Adams comes, with tears in his eyes :
“Sir, Mr. Adtms has alwajH had the greatest
respect for you, and admiration of your tal
ents. There is no station to which you are not
equal. Most undoubtedly you are the second
cboico of New England, and 1 pray you to con
sider seriously whether the pubiic good and your
own fature interests do not point most distinctly to
the choice wh ch you ought to make.”
How can one withstand all this disinterested
homagoand kindness? Really, the friends of all
threo gentlemen are so very courteous and affjc
tionate that 1 sometimes almost wish that it wore
in my power to accommodate ouch of them ; but
that oeing impossib.e, we are beginning to think
seriously of the choice which wemust finally make.
I will tell you, then, that J b.lieve tho content will
be limited to Mr. Adams and Gen. Jackson. Mr.
Crawford’s personal condition precludes tho choice
of him, if there were no other objection to his
election. As the only alternative which is presen
ted to us it is sufficiently paiufnl, and 1 consider
whatever choice we nuke will bo only a cboieo of
evils. To both of those gentlemen there are strong
personal objections. Tho principal d fference bo
tween them is, that in the election of Mr. Adams,
we shall not by tho example inflict any wound
us ou tho character of our institutions ; but I should
much fear hereafter, if not during tho present
generation, that the election of the General would
give to the military spirit a stimulus and a confi
douce that might lead to the most pernicious re
sults. I shad therefore, with groat »egret, on
account of tho dilemma in which tho people have
placed us, support Mr. Adorns. My friouds aro
generally so inclined.
What has great weight with mo is the decided
preference which a majority ot the delegation from
Ohio have for him over Gon. Jackson. If there
fore, Kentucky were to vote lor the General, it
would probably only have the effect of dividing
our fdends without defeating ultimately the elec
tion of Mr. Adums.
Three of the f ur States favorable to Mr. Craw
ford aro believed to prefer Mr. Adams to tho Gen
eral. Virginia is one of them. I am inclined to
think that nearly three fourths of our delegation
have yielded to tho influence of t' eso vi ws and
will vote for Mr. Adams. My friends entertain

Mr. Clay to Francis P. Blair.
Washington, Jan. 29, 1825.
My Blair: I received this morning your
very agreeab e favor of the 17th inst. A letter
from you is always refreshing; and 1 wish thut l
oould entitle myself to expect them more frequent
ly, by more punctuality and ou my part
of our correspondence. My last letter informed
you of the unction that was unceasingly applied
to me by all the returned candidates for the Pres
idoncy, or their mends. Since then, 1 have
avowed my iutention to support Mr. Adams,
under actual circumsUncas, and thereupon the
oil has been instantly trana'ormed Into vinegar.—
Tho friends of have turned upon me, and
with the most amiable unanimity agree to vitupo
rate me. lam a deserter from Democracy ; lam
a giant at intrigue; have soil tbo Wost—sold
myself—defeating Gauora Jackson’s election to
leave open tie Western pretensions that I may
hereafter fill them myself; Hasting all my fair
prospects, etc., etc. To these aro added a thou
sand other of the moat gentle and kind and
agreeable epithets and things in the worl 1.
to elect Jackson, that the claims of tho W 7 est may
be satisfied aud I bo thereby pretermilted, aro ac
cusing me of acting on their own principles. Ts e
knaves cannot comprehend Low u nan can be
honest. They cannot conceive that I should have
solemnly interrogated my conscience and asked it to
toll me ewrioosly what I ought to do. That it
should have enjoined me not to es’ablish tho dan
gerous precedent of elevating, at this early stsge
of tho republic, a military chieftain merely because
he has won a great victory. That it should have
told me that a public man is undeserving his sta
tiou who will not, record less of aspersions and
calumnies, risk himself for his country ? lam
afraid that you will think mo moved by these
abuses. Be not decoioved. I assure you that I
never in my whole life felt more composure, more
entire confidence in tho resolution of my judgment,
and more uushakab'e determination t© march up
to duty. And, my dear sir, is there an intel igent
aud unbiasad man who must not, sooner or later,
concur with me? Mr. Adams, you know well, I
never should have selected, if at liberty to draw
from the whole mass ot our citizens for a President.
But there is no danger in his elevation now, or
iu time to come. Not so of his competitor, of
whom I cannot believe thut killing two thousand
five hundred Englishmen at New Orleans qualifies
for tho various, difficult and complicated cuties of
the Cuief Magistracy. I perceive that lam uncon
sciously writing a sort of defence, which you may
possibly Punk impiesgu.lt. What will be the
result ? you willaek with curiosity, if not anx ety.
I think that Mr/ Adams must be elected—such is
my prevailing opinion. Still I shall not consider
the matter as certain until the eiocliou is over.
The American Party of Mew York.
The HationaL Democrat, tho organ of tho New
York “ Baras ,” has tho following notice of the
©laments composing the American party of
that Bute, which, together with the “Democrat 1 11* 1
views of President Pierce and his Administra
tion, are particularly interesting:
“Os the one hundred and forty five thousand
Know-Nothings, two thirds are National men—
Hard Democrats or Hard Whigs, who have no bu
siness where they are. and who would have all
wted ihv Aaiuu Wmu ticket, had we nad presses,
orators, organize 4 ion and money to electioneer
with. They saw only three daily papers in the
entire State of New York supporting the Ward
ticket, looked at our pitiful vote last year, and
voted a Know Nothing ballot, in order to beat the
Administration and the Sewardites,
These men, if the Cincinnati up
one of the 01 i Guard—ona of these who have
fought always on the National aide, apd who have
no connection with the Pieroe Administration,
will vote for him for President next year, and
give him the vote of the State of Now York. If
that Convention however, shall put up another
Pierce, or somebody who will perpetuate weak
ness and folly, those voters will stty v here they
are, ind New York will give her thirty five votes
for a Know Nothing President, aod perhaps elect
him. Ihe whole thing lies in a not shell. These
men cannot be controlled or reasoned with. They
would not see that they had zone in for the Hard
Democratic ticket and elaclei it tcis year, bey
would have been sure to have had such a Presi
dent as they want next year. They ari not poli
ticians ; but they can make and unmake pol ti
cians ; for they have strength enough to give New
York to the Democracy or the Kncw-Nu hings, as
they shall prefer, in 1556. Whereof the Cin
cinnati ponderers upon New York troubles will
do weii to take not ce.”

and dispassionate views of most questions, in a
notice of the Bill before the Georgia Legislature,
very justly remarks :
“Even admitting its practicability in other re
spects, such a iaw as is here proposed, would be
come inoperative, because ‘here woul j soon be no
debts upon which the law of garnishment could
operaie, (credit being destroyed,) and the citizen
of Georgia, without securing any additional guar

into the markets of the free States subject to dis
abilities and suspicions from which otbere would

We have Itarued that the Urge class of very

American Mata Meeting.
A great American Mab» Meeting was hold at
Louisville on Tuesday last. 1) legates wore pres
ent, says tho Journal , from almost evory county
in Kentucky, also from Indiana, Ohio, Nov/York,
Massachusetts, Illinois, The counties along
the linos of railroad and tho Ohio river w<ro vory
numerously represented ; on account of tho difii
C llty of aceoss the del jgatious from tho interior of
tho State were • ot so full.
Great enthusiasm prevailed. As delegation after
delegation fifed in tna court house, they were ro
coived with defending applause. A national salute
was fired by the cannon squad, under tho direction
ofCapt. Albert.
Tho following resolutions wore unanimously
adopted :
Ist. Tho union of the Status, founded originally
on polit cal and commercial tieoeasitios, affords the
bo.-1 assurance it not the only guarantee for the
future preservation of tho lib irty aud promotion
of the prosperity of the American people. It
' must ana shall ho maintained.
2 1. The General Government should ho admin
> istered under a strict observation of the limitations
upon its powers imposed by the Constitution, and
yet by a sufficient use of the powers granted it
f should achieve and promote the objects for which
5 it was instituted.
8 1. Cherishing our own light of private judge
ment in matters of religion, we ro -pect the same
i right in others. Ah Ainoi iouns, wo aro opposod
) to the union of Churchos and Si ae. Wo are op
posed to Ecclesiastical combinations of whatever
sect or denomination to produce political effect in
our country. Advocates of civil liberty, wc ure
/ staunch advocates aleo of a free church. Any at
tempt by a foreign power to assume political
• government within tho limits of the e State-,
7 under tho pretense oi Ecclesiastical jurisdiction,
3 cannot bo lecognized in any ether light than «s an
assault upon the institutions of America, and e
wilt not sustain any one who advocates, assists in,
or willingly submits to such interference.
4th. Every government possesses tho right to
1 proscribe the terms upon which a foreigner may
{ be admitted to the privileges of citizenship wn-ni»
j i a jurisdiction. Such privilege to 'he foreigner is
j a t oou cordoned, and is not ar ; jut inh rent. In

- legislation i- nccospary by Con^rens.
s’h. Wo State of this Union ought to confer the
' riglit of suffrage upon any but ci' of tbo Uni -

6th. The peopla of Kentucky having in priu.A
i ry fssoiiiblies cad at the poll* ratified and appro >
j od the platform ot the American par y adopt'd at
r Philadelphia in Juno last, thin meeting reaffirms
those principles, and calls upon every lover of the
j country in the Union to assist in maiutui • ing them
as the basis ot poliiical action.
7ih. The American party of Louisville, while
they deplore the eveifts of ilie Bth ot August, do
no. feci in the slizhtest degree responsible tor
thou , because they know uni make Dm public
declaration of the fact that no scheme of violence
had been coi.carted, nor was any meditated by
thorn. They know and declare that tho rioting
) originated from tho wanton assaults made
t by foreigners ur on unoffending citizens who were
f not model ing with tho election. They are not to
be drawn into further controversy upon this aub
’ jeet than to express generally whenever a like occa
) sion shall exhibit similar recklessness aud wioked
. ness upon the part of their adversaries, the Ame
ricana ol Louisville will firmly maintain their
rights a* every hazard.
Houlh Carolina.
The annual message ofGov. Adams to the Legis
lature of iSouth Carolina fills less than three col
nmnsof the Charleston Connor. An animal mos
s ge is one of the few documents in which our
neighbors ever the rivor novor talk mueh, aud we
commoud the example to our own long-winded
Governors, who seldom stop short of a good-sized
volume.
An a matter of public interest, we give below
extracts from a synopsis of its contents published
in tho Courier:
Tl.edobt of the State is sot down at $2,287,156-
28, lo which Bays tho mossage, must be added
SBOO,OOO, the amount of tho State subscription yet
to be sailed tor to tho Blue Kidge Kailrou 1 Compa
ny. This w'l! give ns, in principal, $8,087,156.28,
aid an animal interest of $172,476,61. It to this
is added the sum of $1,060,000, tho amount of
bonds of said Company to be endorsed by the
State, bearing seven per ce"t. interest, the entire
debt of the State muy bo set dowu at $4,087,156,-
28, with an annual interest of $242,476.61. When
thin snm ie increas'd, as it most probably will be,
by another million tor the completion of the Slate
Capitol the wholo debt will be $5,087,156.28, with
an annual interest ol $802,476.61.
Tho work on tho new State House is reported as
progressing faithfully. Immediate prosecution
and completion are urged, oven at necessary ex
pen-oi as preferable to slow and protracted pro
coolings.
The 8. C. College “is in a more fiouris; ing‘ cod
ditiou” than has ever yet been tl e ca-o eince its
establishment, and is strongly recommended to tho
legislative regard. Tho resignation of President
Thornwoll is regretted, and a duo tribute paid his
services.
The M iilary Academy are reported of in very
encouraging terms, and a decided tribute of praise
!»v.a■ -'c :to Gen. Jamca Jones, chairman of the
Board of Visiters, for his exertions and efforts
that have been bellowed faithfully sinco the origi
nation of the schools. The Mditia sy-tem is re
garded as neces-ary and profitable.
The repeal of the usury law—a measuro which
bps been urged and strongly advocated at various
intervals for half a century—is earreetly pro
P °A c 'anga in the practice and law as to colored
off'ndrsis recommended —Booh cuaei to be tried

composed of the Clerk, Shcriß and Ordinary.
A"ie r orm is also aged in the laws of colored
seamen—a eobject which now for the first time
may l o considered as freed from all extrinsic
political embarrassments end difficulties.
Too entire comment of tho Governor on Federal
K“lations may be found in tbe following brief para
graph:

UKOUUIA LKGI&LATUKK.
Correspondence of the Chronicle <(' Sentinel*
Mil:e?>oeville, Nov. 27, f*. M.
A very Interesting debate*-the prelude to a more
elaborate one, p v'rp*—occurred in tin House
yesterday, on Mr. Jones’ BUbFt’tnle, proposing, in- '
fttoad of pardoning John T. Boyd, to commute hi*
cmtr*roe to t *y o rs imprisonment at hsrd labor.
9 ons, whotlier or aot, tho Legislature has
* d commute ns well ns grant plenary pardon;
am w edifr spow rto pardon implies incapncfity
v ° C n J ’ f r 3a l now. Hitherto, the
received °pi";°n hanba-n, that the General Ae
sembly had no.d seretionary power whatever in
ai 0,1 ca«os; and that howover worthy of punish
ment, short of death, a criminal might be, hemußt
either be turned loose upon the community, or
sent into eternity. Col. Milledge oited a notable
instance yesterday, the case of Williams, (from
Richmond) where a memorial, nnmeronaly signed,
and uskiug for a commutation from death to per
petual imprisonment, had been refused, nnder tho
impression that tho Legislature could not commuto.
In this case the criminal was let free.
Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, wa-, the chief speaker
yesterday sgaiust the power to commute. Messrs.
Jones a l . d Thornton, ol Muscogee, the chief speak
ors iu favor of it. It was contended by tho af
firmation that tlio L-gislaitire might pass any laws
not t rohi; Led by, or repugnant to the Constitu
tion; that although the power to pardon was ex
pres- d, that to ocruinnlo vai- not denied—neither
repugnant; that Congress and the Legislature
held their power on dilfjront tenures—the former
coaid only do wh&t it was expressly delegated per
mission to do; t .o latter could do unything not
prohibited—so tor as rotates to internal afl'airs.
They also citod Supremo Court decisions favoring
this view of (ho question—one (iu th. Bth (ia. Ko
port.-) wlioro tho Court had doc arod atl acta of the
Legi-latnro to bo valid which do not violate, in
fringe or impair the Constitution; another, do
Glaring the Legislature and not tho Judiciary, to
be the jnd os 1 v at was promotive of the pub
lic good. As tho power to commute did not in
friuga or impair the constitutional right to pardon,
and as i wa-eminen'dy tor the public good, not to
turn 100, o criminals deserving of punishment,
though not, perhaps, death— thertfoie, tho substi
tute ctlhred by Mr. Jouos was constitutional.
Tho negative, ftcr disclaiming any wish toabate
the just punishment of criminals, held that it was
