We hope our friends Will keep in mind the election for member of Congress, on the first Monday in January. Col. Holt, the candidate of the Harrison party, we arc as sured, is a gentleman of high talents and at tainments, in every respect, excellently qualified to fill the station, with honor to the State and to himself. The importance of the elections of county officers, it is needless to dwell upon. The Justices of the Inferior Court and of the Peace, have apporerw r er placed in their hands which should never be Confided in any but honest and competent men, a power which has more immediate- influence upon the in terests of the people than tiiat of many high er offices. It should, then, be the desire, as it is for the welfare, of our citizens to trust this authority to honest and capable per sons; all the Candidates for Justices of the Inferior Court presented to our readers to day,possess the requisite qualifications, and they can choose from them a ticket to suit themselves. t)r.

Dec. 14.—The Resumption Bill as a mended, passed the House by a vote of 144 to 33. It requires now only the signature of the Governor to become a law. The bill to provide for the .redemption of the bills of the Central Bank, &c. has pass ed the House, and a motion to reconsider it was lost by a large majority. The foi lowing message from the Governor was re ceived by both branches of the General Assembly: Executive Department, ) Milledgeviile, 14th Dec. 1840. y Gentlemen of the Senate, and House of Representatives. Since your assemblage on the 2d ult., the Cotton crop of the present year has been generally gathered, and the quantity raised has fallen so far below the most'rea sonable calculation, that, without a for bearance on the part of creditors, not to be expected, the pecuniary distress of the peo ple forthe next year, will be unprecedented and ruinous. I feel it my duty, therefore, to call your attention to this subject, be fore your adjournment, that you may adopt such constitutional measures for the relief of the-people, as your wisdom may sug gest as expedient afid proper. The Cen tral Bank, burthened as it is, and neces sarily nnlst be, by appropriations for the support of Government, cannot, extend fur ther accommodations,’apd'if you concur with me, in the opinion that the exigency demands at your hands some effort for the aid of the people, through the difficulties ofthG ensuing year, disappointed, as they are, in the usual means of meeting their engagements by the almost total failure ~of the Cotton crop, in some places, and its great diminution every where, you can not turn your attention too soon to the sub ject. Being unapprised of any measures proposed by you for this object, and not being willing to incur the expenses inci dent to an extraordinary session of the Le gislature, when it is as well known now, as it can be some months hence, that the necessities of the people will certainly re quire relief which none but the supreme authority can afford I venture to place the matter before you, not doubting that ftll will be done by you, that can be, to avert the consequences of a calamity that could not have been foreseen, and that no prudence could have guarded against. Charles j. McDonald. Upon its reception in the House, Mr. Toombs offered the following resolution, which was agreed to, “His Excellency the Governor having in a special communica tion to-day, called the attention of the House to the present and anticipated em barrassments of the good people of this State, —Be it therefore resolved, Tha't his Excellency the Governor be and he is here by respectfully requested to suggest to the consideration of this House, at his earliest convenience, some definite measure for the relief of the people.” A similar resolution was agreed to by the Senate. A resolution was adopted in tlie Senate directing the commissioners of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road to provide for the completion, as soon as pos sible, of said road from White Hall to Cross Plains in Murray county. Hon. Horatio Webb, member from Jack son county, died suddenly, after the ad journment. Dec. 13th. The House passed a bill to ! repeal the charter of the Darien Bank and to provide for the winding up ofits concerns. ! The following message was received from the Governor, by both branches of the General Assembly, and referred to Coin- I notices : _ Executive Department,) Milledgevillc, 15th Dec. 1840. y 1 had the honor, yesterday, of asking the at tention of the Genera! Assembly to such consti tutional measures of relief to the people, from the calamitous consequences of “ unpreceden ted failure of the cotton .crop, .as .their wisdom might suggest as expedient and proper, leaving the selection of the means by which so desira ble an end could be accomplished, unembarrass ed by any specific recommendation from me.— llut as each house of the General Assembly pas sed a resolution on the same day, requesting me to suggest to its consideration some definite mea sure lor this purpose, 1 accordingly proceed to state tiie result of my reflections, as to the most i appropriate method of effecting ii The Central Bank having exhausted its means,’and new de mands being about to be made upon it to pay the appropriations of the present session, which must be met witli its own bills, for tlie redemption of wliich there is no fund, except tlie notes due that institution by individuals, cannot be relied on, in its present condition. The suspension of the operations of the law would infringe a wholesome provision of the con stitution, r u violate the monthly of private con tracts. Tlie sale of State bonds to an amount adequate to the purpose, and the deposite ofthe proceeds in the Central Bank, by which that in stitution would be enabled to afford tlie lie; essa ry relief, under such restrictions as the legis lature may prescribe, seems to be liable to few er objections than any which suggests itseli to me as practicable. As the measure proposed is one ol relief, and no! intended to atford facilities for speculation, tiie funds should be distributed to tliose alone whose embarrassments require it, they paying An interest equal to that paid on the bonds, giv ing unquestionable security to save the State from tlie possibility of loss. Tne money used for this purpose being raised upon the credit of the State, to supply the deficiency of the cotton crop, the borrower should be required to repay it within such reasonable tune as tlie Legisla ture may prescribe. As this is a temporary ex pedient to meet the present emergency, the measure should be confined to tlie contemplated object, and the borrower should not be encoura ged to hope that tlie proceeds of their industry might be applied to ■ iw engagements, unneces sarily contracted. If the plan now T proposed, tor giving effect to the measure be deemed by the General Assembly Objectionable, I would earn estly recommend to them to devise some other more faultless, in support of which they will have my co-operation. The people of an adjoin ing State have derived immense benefit from a similar measure. By laboring industriously, and observing a rigid economy, they have been ena bled to discharge debts without a sacrifice of projierty, which, it pressed, would have bro’t ruin upon them. The matter is again referred to you with these suggestions, which should have accompanied my tormer communication, but for an apprehension tiiat it might have been construed into an indelicate intrusion ot tlie o pinion of file Executive as to the de’ails of a measure which he had submitted in the usual manner to the representatives of the people.—li I be correct in supposing the condition of tiie country is such as to demand some act of rebel, 1 think it important, and required by tlie public interest, that you should provide tor it, before your adjournment, rather than draw upon a trea sury already exhausted lor the enormous expen ses of an extra session. But if you should de termine against it, 1 shall have the expression ot the legislative opinion, that no measure of this sort is demanded by our constituents which will render superfluous your special assemblage lor this purpose. . Charles j. McDonald. Dee. IC. The committee in the Senate to whom was referred ths Governor’s mes sage of yesterday, reported a I*lll in con formity to the plan proposed in the mes sage. The hill to empower the banks to issue post notes, which are to be made payable before the Ist of January 1842, passed the Senate. The House reconsidered the bill to . re peal the charter of the Darien Bank. Sev eral Tax bills wliich have been proposed have been rejected. Dec. 17. In the House a bill was pas sed to establish the State Lunatic Assy lum. A tax bill similar-to the act of 1840 pas sed the House. A motion to reconsider the Post note law prevailed. Dec. 18. The bill to authorize the Banks to issue Post Notes was taken up in Senate and passed, by a vote of 43 yeas, to 35 nays, with some amendments, which are that no Post Note for less than 850 shall be issued, and that such notes shall always be taken in payment of debts by the Banks issuing them. The bill reported by the majority of the committee to whom was referred the gover nors relief message, and which provided for the issue of State Bonds in conformity ■With the message, came up and was laid on the table for the balance of the session. Dec. 19. The House was engaged up on the bill in relation to the controversy of this State, with tho State of Maine, uftcr much animated discussion, the bill prescri bing a quarantine upon the property and persons oftho citizens of Maine, was adopt ed as a substitute, and passed the House by a vote of yeas 89 nays 79. The Senate was engaged in the discus sion of a resolution offered by Mr. Miller, hi relation to restricting the President of the United States to one term. Tlie resolution was rejected yeas 33, nays 45. We regret that we have no room this week to publish the report'd'MessrsToomhs Stiles, Chappell, and Crawford, the majori ty of the Committee to whom was referred the Governor's relief message. It is unfu vorablc to the adoption of the measures pro posed by his Excellency lor the following reasons. Because the Committee deem it unwise and impolitic to use. the means and. ; credit of the whole people to relieve the wants of a part. Because the mode propo sed must inevitably result in the imposition of burdensome taxes upon the whole people. Because there is no prospect that the State t bonds can be sold without great loss.— I The Committee farther,state that they know of no method of relief except “ uneonstitu, tional, vnwise, unjust, and oppressive legis. lation between debtor and creditor.” That excellent magazine, the Ladies Companion, pays a very high compliment to tlie work called Georgia illustrated, by the Messrs. Richards. The people in this; State, who are most interested in the suc cess of the work, are anxiously expecting its publication here, and we are glad to learn that the agent of the Editors has already arrived in Augusta. (0~ Hon. Levi Woodbury, has been e lected U. S. Senator, from New Hampshire. Doubts are entertained of the legality of this election, Mr. Woodbury, not having been a resident of New Hampshire, for sev eral years. OfiT The 15th of January next, is ap pointed for the resumption of the Philadel phia Banks. Q3r Wherever, in the following extract from the Boston Atlas, the word “Post” oc- ’’ ours, our readers w ill please substitute,, “Constitutionalist,” and it will be O. a. : i. “BRITISH GOLD.” The senseless clamor of the Locofocos* in relation to the alleged interference in our elections, we had hoped, from pity to ; their party, had ceased. We had suppo sed that this vilest of slanders, after prov ing inadequate as a political watch-word’ would not be revived. But habit has pro duced in their leaders, such a rfeckless dis regard oftruth, such a callousness to the* dictates of conscience, that they adopt any means to effect party objects. We venture to say, that no one ever for a moment be lieved the charge to w hich we refer. It is, too absurd to be entitled to credence. Un doubtedly, foreigners keep a watchful eye upon our movements, some with a strong interest in the perpetuity of our Republi can institutions, and others with as strong a desire of their overthrow. This general interest, so natural from tiie novelty of our position as a nation, has been increased of late, by the rapid communication now ex isting between ourselves and our neigh bors “across the water.” We see this in their public journals,where are to be found comments upon our internal affairs.— Were not such an acquaintance with our situation manifested by them, it would seem tiie veriest affectation of ignorance. How is it with us ? Do we not always look with interest upon the prospect of any change in the administration of their Gov ernment ? Do we hesitate to express our feelings of joy or of regret, as the case may be ? Do we for a moment think that we shall be accused of interfering in their local politics? The idea is preposterous. But the party has now discovered some ground lor their charge of foreign influence upon our elections, and the great mystery , ofour success has been developed. The Post of the 9th inst. introduces to its read ers an extract from a St. Louis paper, un der the caption, British interference proved, and adds, “The developements which have taken place ill the proceedings of the Mis souri Legislature prove conclusively that efforts were made by British Bankers, to influence our late national election, and to their influence is the result in a materi al measure to be attributed. ’ The devel opments here referred to, arc two letters addressed to Mr. John Smith, President of the Bank of the State of Missouri, by Fred. Huth 6c Cos. Bankers of Loudon. The first letter acknowledges the receipt of cer tain bonds of the State, which had been sent to the writers by Mr. Smith, to be sold in the London market. Alter expres sing their conviction of the impossibility ot negotiating the bonds at present, Messrs. Fred. Huth & Cos. observe, “The atten- j tionofour capitalists and others engaged in American affairs is now turned to your internal politics, and if the prospects for your next Presidential election held out by the last accounts should be realised, this circumstance will contribute more than any other to restore general confidence.” The second letter, written three months after, speaks of the impossibility of nego tiating the Bonds unless at very low rates, and says, “If, however, your election to the Presidentship should have the result now anticipated, it is very probable that an impulse will be given to all the State Stocks,” <fcc. These extracts,, as they are the only opinions- expressed in the let- ters, tho rest of them being entirely of n business nature, constitute the ground of the charge of bribery and corruption, which is brought up against tlie Whig party. — These are the “developments” to which the Post alludes. A scries of resolutions was offered in the Legislature of Missouri, one of which we give for tiie amusement of our readers. “That these letters show u design on the part of the British Capitalists to bribe the Ainericun people with their own money.” The resolutions procedd w ith good grace from the State of the “Great Humbug,” and the writer of them possesses some of the characteristics of Oily Gammon, Esq. in the first place, to make out an appar ent case, they should show that Messrs. Fred. Huth & Cos. (of whom, we must con fess, we never before heard,) represent and speak the sentiment of the Bankers of Lon don. And were this tlie fact, wo should award to them due credit for sagacity, for their opinion, that the stability of our in stitutions would be insured, and the condi tion of State Stocks improved, by a Whig administration.

The Model Message. —The message of Governor Zell, of Arkansas, is but tho fourth of a column long, and is as much to the purpose as some which arc sixteen times that length.

It lias been repeatedly .charged by the Globe and its Loco Foco mouth pieces, thut the Ohio returns show a larger number of votes than there are .voters in the State.— The total .vote is 273,824 —an increase of 72,000 v.otes ou that of 18.30. The last Cin cinnatti Chronicle ,makes the following conclusive statements, which satisfactorily account for the increased.vote : 1. The greater degree of excitement and interest has called out thousands of voters wlid.did not vote before. , 2.There are 20.000 aligns naturalized with in the last year, of whom more than two thirds voted the Van Buren,tic.ket, and.thus caused the increase of their votes. 3. The State of Ohio, strange as it may secm/lraS'garift'd'lft least “three’ hundred thousand iij its population within the last four years. These are reasons enough.— But independent of this, the entire vote falls short ofthe entire taxables over 21 years of age, at least 30;000. The Census of Ohio just completed also shows a population but a fraction short of 1.800,000. In point of population, -she is already the third State in the Union. A SINGULAR BET.

BaTlTvays. - A correspondent of the National Intelli gencer thus notices an improvement .which it is thought might be made upon railways : —“ It is strange that, while rapid improve ments have been made and are making in all the appurtenances of railroads, such as engines, cars, 6cc., no essential improve ments should be made in the road itself. A very great improvement would be to have the track of a road, .instead.of, as now, only about four feet,wide, aj least six or eight feet wide. The. advantages, of a wide track would be incalculable. A few ofthe most beneficial results would be: it would en able the engine builder so manufacture a far more, powerful locomotive—it would greatly reduce the strain upon all the car riage wheels—greatly enhance the value of roads by enabling them to transport great er burdens with fewer cars—and great! v in crease tlie safety and comfort of passengers in comparison with which manifold advan vantages, the very trifling additional cx-! pense of constructing a road a few feet wi- | der than usual is absolutely; nothing.

They declare that the whole number of votes given at the late e lection in tiie State of New Aork, fqr elect ors of President and Vice President, was fourteen millions four hundred and ninety one thousand.three hundred thirty-two.— The 14 millions being taken awgy, gives | tlie correct vote of the State. Important Legal Decision.~\t is Stated in the Express that the Assistant Vice Chancellor of the first Circuit; of Ni A’ork, has recently decided in a case before him, that a mortgage of goods and chattels, un accompanied by an immediate delivery, and not followed by an actual and continu ed change of possession, is in the absence of all fraud, good and valid as against cre ditors, &c. where the same or a true copy thereof shall have been filed, pursuant to the provisions of the statute of 1933. This decision of the Vice Chancellor is held to be the more important, as the Superior Court of New A’ork, had heretofore held a different view. An important recommendation in the late | Messageo.PGov. Gilmer to the Legjsla- | tore of Virginia is tli.Y erf the abolishment of imprisonment for debt altogether. “Ini i prisommnt, as a remedy, not necessary ! to the creditor’s rights,”; -say's- the Mes j sage, “and,, as a punishment,’it visits the misfortune*, • not tlie crimes of its victims. ” The recommendation is thus concluded-: “By rendering final process on judgments, lo reach lafaisvW/io.ve.v (a action, justice may be.done wiihojtf retailing-ignominy as one of its attributes.” - A Doubtful Story. —Tim New York Sun contains.the particulars of a mos* painful rumor in.relation to tlie adduction o£,some fifteen or . twenty, young women from that city .w;itbin the last two years. .Jt is stated that they were taken to,.tho •coast of Africa, and sold to the native clijefo.
