WT WASHINGTON, GA.
|| THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1840.
jj FOR PRESIDENT,
Mr’ mmmc
■ VVo liave received from the Agent,
iMr. S. A. Holmes, of Augusta, a publiea-
Htion by the “New World” publishers, en
■ titled “ The Nautilus,” being a compila-
I tion of Nautical Tales, by John K. Duer,
I of the United States Navy ; price 25 cents.
■ Our friends can conveniently supply them-
I selves with the cheap and desirable “ New
■ World” publications, by ordering them
I from Mr. Holmes.
I Our thanks arc due to Messrs. Ber
■ rien, Meriwether, Gamble and Warren, for
■ many valuable Congressional documents.
I AVe have perused with much interest, the
■ speech of Mr. Meriwether, sent to us by
■ him, against the repeal of the Bankrupt
I Law, and am sorry that his arguments
I failed in influencing the action of the House.
■ The indecent and precipitate haste display -
■ cd by some of the Whigs in Congress to re-
I peal the best and most important measure,
■ which their party were enabled to carry
■ into effect, just as its benefits Were begin-
I ning to be felt by the debtor class of our
■ country, and before its provisions were ful
■ ly understood, justifies the sneers and ridi-
Heuleso liberally bestowed upon them by
■ their opponents for their action in this res
■ pect.
K (K?” On the 16th inst. the following bill
llpassed the House of Representatives by a
llvote of 140 yeas to 71 nays :
( i An ACT to Repeal the Bankrupt Act.
II Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
■Representatives of the United States of A-
Hmerica in Congress assembly, That the act
■entitled “An act to establish u uniform
■system of bankruptcy throughout the Uni-
Hied States,” approved 19th August, 1611,
IIS be, and the same is hereby, repealed.—
Provided, That this act shall not a fleet any
■ case or proceeding in bankruptcy com
■ tnenced before the passage of this act, or a
■ny pains, penalties, or forfeitures incurred
S under the said act, but every such proceed-
Bing may be continued to its final consutn
-9 mation,.in like manner as if this act had not
■ been passed.
H OCT Marcus Morton, the Democratic can
-18 lidate for Governor of Massachusetts, has
■ been elected by the Senate of that State ;
■ the vote being for Morton 27, for Davis 11.
■ln relation to the preliminary election by
I the House of Representatives, the Boston
I Atlas of the 17th inst. says:
“ The House of Representatives, yester
day, elected John Davis and Marcus Mor
ton as the two candidates, but of the four
having the highest number of votes at the
election by the People, to be sent to the
Senate, from which two a Governor is to be
oliosen by the Senate. There is not now
the shadow of a doubt that Marcus Morton
will be elected, this day, as Governor of
Massachusetts. In 1839, he was elected
Governor, by one vote majority, at tiie pop-
I ular election. Now, not having votes c-
II nough at the election by the People, he
H comes into the office by a single vote in the
D House of Representatives—and that vote
P given to him by a member from one of the
[’ strongest Whig towns in the Common
-1 wealth, who voted against the known and
f expressed wishes of his constituents, and
basely betrayed the interests he was sent
here to sustain. This man is the member
from Eastham, B. H. A. Collins, whose
nanqe we have before announced ; and the
circumstances of whose election, and the
instructions furnished him by his constitu
ents, we shall fully lay before the public in
the course of a few days.
In the mean while, be it knotvn to the
People of this Commonwealth, that Marcus
Morton holds his ofiice this year, by virtue
of the vote of this recusant of Whig princi
ples. We know of no more approprmte
epithet for him, than to denominate him,
through the year, “ THE COLLINS GO-
The professorships of our

not this man, who has made a greater sac
rifice than any of these public benefactors,
who has surrendered every principle of po
litical honor and morality, to elect a Loco
foco Governor—why should be not have
the credit of his achievement. Hi# Excel
lency Marcus Morton, Collins Governor of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Mr. Clay. —We learn from a letter to his
friend, Hon. W. C. Dawson, that it will be

which place he will return home.—Madi

on the 7th inst. re-elected Mr. Crittenden
to the Senate of the United States, for six
years from the 4th of March next, by a ma
jority of more than two to one over Colonel
Richard M. Johnson, who was brought for
ward by the Loco Focos. The vote stood
in joint ballot, for Crittenden, 88 ; Johnson,

the first ballot resulted as above stated.

DEATH OF T. AV. WHITE.
We are pained to announoc the death of
Mr. T. AV. White, Editor ofthe Southern
Literary Messenger. He died yesterday
morning. He was one of the most enter
prising and useful men of his day. He
has done great service in the cause of South
ern Literature and the cause of the period
ical Literature ofthe United States, and his
death creates a blank which cannot soon be
filled. This event is deeply deplored, as
well on this score as on account of his per
sonal relations and the attachments so gen
erally felt for the man. He was a warm
friend, a generous-hearted, humane and
valued citizen. His relation as head of an
interesting family not the least impo
sing in which he could be regarded, and
the manner in which it was filled was the
most beautiful chapter in his life.

lawyer, and was renowned as the author of

AVe are informed by a letter from a high
ly respectable source at Washington, that
the late Whig Postmaster at Murfreesbo
rough, Tenn., is understood there to have
been removed at the instance of a letter
from Gen. Jackson to the President, who in
turn wrote to the Postmaster General that
the case called for immediate action. Our
correspondent further remarks that it is dis
tinctly understood there, and he has no
doubt of the fact, that there is no order that
Gen. Jackson could issue to the acting Pre
sident that would not at once be carried out
to the letter—so intent is he on gaining his
favor and influence. Such degradation of
the Chief Magistracy of the Republic is
truly humiliating to the pride of freemen
capable of feeling for their country the
shame of patriots.— Nashville Banner, 6th.

D. E. BUTLER. Secretary,
FOR THE NEWS AND PLANTERS’ GAZETTE.
Mr. E DITOH : It is a remarkable char
acteristic of the people of Georgia, to be
dissatisfied with every relation and circum
stance in which a wholesome administration
is calculated to pluco them. It is impos
sible for either party political, to have the
ascendency in our legislative council, with
out being for the time considered tho vile
projectors of every measure, that entails
oppression and moral corruption upon the
people during that ascendency. The body
politic as it exists in this country, presents
to view a mass of people, divided by differ
ent opinions and interests, each division
struggling to gain the superiority, At to rear
its own monuments of immortality upon the
misfortunes and ruins of its competitor.—
They present a striking illustration of the
insatiability of human desires. Wherever
a measure is proposed or an ofiice is to be
filled, it need only be told that the measure
proposed and theearididate for electiou, are
of the opposite party to constitute a rea
son, that the measure is fraught with dan
gerous consequences, and abounds with dis
grace and iniquity, and that the candidate
is one witose principles are dangerous to
the public good, and are destined to tram
mel the liberties of the country. This is
the state of feeling that exists between par
ties, and how is it possible that any thing
but distrust and local jealousies should in
fluence them in their mutual relations. It
is a rule of honorable controversy, laid
down by Dr. fledge, that in all deliberative
matters the arguments and alligations of
opponents should be regarded with due con
fidence and respect, let them be alledged
by whom they may. Now, from what I
have been able to observe, this rule has not
guided the opinions of some of our Whig
brethren in relation to some of the measures
adopted by our last Legislature. Many
hard predictions were made in relation to
the reception the Loco-focos will meet with
by their constituents when they returned
home from the Legislature, and were asked
that odious question, AVliat have they done
to restore the credit ofthe State & to relieve
the people of oppression ? Such speculation
as this is uncharitable in the extreme,
and its direct tendency is to cramp genius
by suppressing that freedom of thought and
action that pervades our Representative and
Senatorial chambers. For myself, lam
disposed to regard some of the Acts passed
by our Locofoco brethren, in a particularly
favorable light; more especially the Act
to change the time of holding Justice’s
Courts from once a month to once in every
four months in each year. lam sure that
no one could murmur at this law after
onoe considering the broad Democratic prin
ciple upon which it is based. It can be
appropriately hailed as the “dawning of
another and a brighter era,” as a second
outbreaking, and pouring forth of the bril
iiant rays of English Constitutional liberty,
when justice shall be brought to every
man’s door through the increased impor
tance of Justice’s Courts. It requires nei
ther the force of synthetical reasoning nor
the power of induction to discover the salu
tary effects this Act will engender. It will
break down the monopoly of Superior
Courts, by calling the most eminent attor
neys from the bar, and as soon as the next
Legislature extends its jurisdiction, I have
r.o doubt that Circuits will be apportioned
off by a union of the several Districts of
contiguous counties; by this means an ex
cellent school will be formed for the train
ing of young lawyers, who from inexperi
ence in practice, liave not gained sufficient
confidence to insure success in the Superior
Courts; aud who, from a want of training
in collusion and chicanery, have not yet
learned the art of smothering conscience
and eradicating from their bosoms the sa
cred love of trutli instilled in them by pa
rental discipline. Young lawyers of our
country should not neglect to avail them
selves of the advantages thus held out by
this salutary Act, as I am sure it was with
a view to effect that end that the Legisla
ture passed the law. I have understood
that there are several Attorneys who, hav
ing anticipated the object of the Legisla
ture, have already advertised to practice in
District Courts. That’s right, gentlemen ;
come out into the country and quit swarm
ing around the towns. There is nothing
that tends more to promote mental vigor,
and to enliven imagination with a luxuriant
fancy than a healthy, romantic and pictur
esque location in the country, convenient
to a District Court-House. The Legisla
ture knew what was best for you ; come
out and locate among the farmers, for they
possess the wealth and independence of the
country ; come out into the harvest of De
mocratic industry, there is no broader road
to wealth, no surer path to fame.

The Cotton Crop. —A Bombay paper, quo
ting a report that the American cotton this
year would be 2,500,000 bales, adds, —
“ To give an idea of this immense quantity,
it is only necessary to state, that to put one
bale at the end of another would encircle
the island of Great Britain, or wall it round

there will be no scarcity ofthe ‘ Raw Ma

Died, at his residence in this place, on Satur
day the 14lh instant, alter a lingering and pain
ful illness of several weeks, Mr. SAMUEL
BARNETT, aged 08. His remains were depo
sited in tiie burial-ground at Smyrna, attended
by a large concourse of friends, who thus testifi
ed their regard for his memory.
When men who have sustained an important
part in the affairs of society, are removed from
this world, the public meets with a loss, and pro
priety demands that a suitable tribute should be
paid to their memory. Mr. Barnett possessed
many qualities that justly entitled him to the
respect of his fellow-citizens, and which render
his death a subject of deep regret to the commu
nity, as well as to his particular friends. For
die last 25 years lie lias been a resident of this
piace, and tor die same length of time Cashier
ot die Branch State Bank.. He fulfilled various
responsible public trusts, with ability and faith
fulness ; and in all the ordinary business trans
actions of the place, his character has been high
ly appreciated. To a sound judgment, he united
tiie strictest integrity. No man cherished a
nicer sense of honor, and none a greater detesta
tion lor every thing mean and low in die con
cerns of life, ilis views of the standard o(
Christian character, were of high elevation; and
though he made no profession of Religion, lie
was a cheerful and liberal supporter of religious
institutions, and a constant attendant upon tiie
ministrations of the Presbyterian Church. Asa
member of society, he was much respecied and
esteemed ; and, in his turn, was careful to ren
der to others the respect duo to their standing
and worth. Asa friend, he was generous and
obliging, and was ever ready to extend iiis aid to
others, as circumstances might require. lie
was an affectionate husband and brother; a ten
der and judicious father; a humane master.—
His last illness was protracted, painful, aud op
pressive—but he bore all his sufferings with a
patience that never failed, and a resignation
which precluded all murmuring and discontent
His bereaved family will feel deeply the loss
they have sustained; but in the sympathy of
friends, and above all, in the consolations ot the
Gospel of Christ, which some of them liave em
braced, they will find comfort in the midst o! their
sorrow. Let them remember that He who
wounds is able to heal, and that there are pre
cious promises to those who, in affliction, pul
! their trust in Him.
From the Alabama Journal, Ath instant.
Hied, in Montgomery, Alabama, on the 31st
ultimo, Hr. RALPH C. ARMSTRONG, in the
32d year of his age, a native ol Georgia, but for
the last eight years a deserving and much loved
member of this community.
In speaking of one so eminently just, and good;
in eulogizing a firm Patriot, a consistent Chris
tian, a gallant defender ot his country, and a well
tried soldier ot the cross—we feel oppressed by
the moral beauty and excellence ol the tliemo ;
our tongues become ineloquent, our ideas grow
dim aud fade away; our imagination fails in do
ing justice to such poeiry of goodness ; aud we
find that, when feeling is fully aroused, language
torsakes us. Hr. Armstrong was deeply imbued
with the true spirit of religion, and in his walk i
througli life, signally maintained tiie simplicity
of deportment and gentleness of manner which
should ever characterize the Christian. His un
derstanding was highly cultivated, and his taste
refined by drinking deeply and wisely of ancient
and modern loro; thus, from the well-stored
granaries of thought, would he pour out, in lavish
profusion, rich offerings to charm and instruct!
The loss of such a man is a source of grief to the
public. The brightness of his example, the mo
ral rectitude of his intentions, the justness of his
views, added to his untiring zeal in his profes
sion, built up in our hearts a vast pyramid of af
fection ; anil we lament his untimely end with
sober sincerity of soul. During three years of
debility and suffering, the unwavering light of
true piety played, in brilliant currusoalions a
round his path ; and, at the last sad hour, when
the lamp of life became dun, and the pulsations
feeble, he yielded up the cherished boon exulting
in the rich promises of revelation ! Ilis manner,
his thoughts were a holy combination of the
Christian, Jjie Philosopher, and the Philanthro
pist—and we rejoice in the belief, that he is now
mingling with bright Intelligencics at the right
hand of liis Maker, breathing an atmosphere pu
rified by His presence, feasting himself on the
benign expression of the Most High, exalted and
ennobled by His unutterable majesty and power!
In approaching the hallowed sanctuary o. domes
tic love and affliction, we pause—onr footsteps
tremble on the thresliiiold ; we would not gaze,
with a light and curious eye, into the mysterious
depths ot a wife’s agony, a mother’s love ! Wei
would not enter the sacred portals of grief, or
harrow up their feelings by an idle thought. We
leave them to the care of that. Being whose ways,
though inscrutable and heart-rending, axe ever
wise and just, trusting, believing that a bright
halo of religious faith will wind itself around the
family altar, cheering and supporting, when the
efforts of friends would be futile. \Ve sincerely
hope such a bright example, of Christian forti
tude and resignation, will not fall unheeded to
tiie ground, but produce a rich and abundant har
vest ; that each one may be induced to utter, in
truthful accents, “ Let me die the death of the
righteous, and let my last end be like his.”
