NEWS AND GAZETTE WASHINGTON, GA. Thursday, junk e, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT, ttuanißir 05“ “ Orion” fur March and April is a very good number—containing many- ex cellent papers, both prose and poetry. An other lilhotint intended we suppose to rep resent the Falls of Ammicalolah, appears in it, of which the less said the better for the Orion.” OCR An “ Irish Repeal Meeting” for the purpose of encouraging the people of Ire land in the efforts they are now making for the “ repeal of the Union,” was held on the 27th ult. at Milledgevilte. Much sympa thy was expressed for the oppressed people of “Emerald’s Green Isle,” an Island by the way we never heard of before, and which is not to be found on any map, and a request was made that all the papers in the State would publisTi the proceedings of the meeting, the use or propriety of which we cannot perceive, the people of Georgia not having, as we conceive, any more business with the Government of the British territo ries than Daniel O'Connell has with our domestic Institutions. Whig Meeting. Agreeable to appointment, a numerous and respectable portion of the Whig party of Wilkes assembled in Washington on Tuesday the 6th inst. for the purpose of selecting Delegates to represent them in tile Convention to be holden in Milledgeville on the 3d Monday of the present month. On motion, A. S. Wingfield, Esq. u'as called to the Chair, and J- 11. Sneed, Esq. requested to act as Secretary. The object of the meeting having been briefly stated, it was moved by D. G. Coi ling, Esq. that the Chair appoint a Commit tee of five to nominate to the meeting four suitable individuals to represent the party in the Convention aforesaid. Whereupon the Chair appointed D. G. Cutting, Geo. W. Carter, James N. Wing, field, L. M. Hill, and James Harris, that Committee, who retired and after a brief consultation returned and submitted to the meeting the following Report: “ Tho committee appointed to make se lection of Delegates to the Whig Conven tion at Milledgeville on-the 3d Monday of the present month, Report, that they have made choice of Messrs. Robert Toombs, Henry F. Ellington, Lucius J. Gartrell, and George W. Calloway.” Which was read and unanimously a ■ dopted. After loud and repeated calls, Mr. Toombs here arose and addressed the meeting for about thirty minutes in his usual eloquent and felicitous style. , James M. Smythe, Esq. was also called for, but being mucli indisposed, bo was for ced to decline. On (potion, it was ordered that the pro ceedings of the meeting be published in the News & Planters’ Gazette. A. S. WINGFIELD, Chairman. J. It. Sneed, Secretary. The Wliigs and their Candi date. Many hints have been thrown out by the Loeo-foco press to the effect that the Whigs intend to drop Henry Clay, and substitute some other candidate for the Presidency. Such insinuations are intended to operate on the weak and wavering (of whom how ever, there are, thank Heaven, few) of the Whig party. Where the wise-acres who conduct the Democratic press find ground for their suppositions, it is impossible to tell—certainly not from the Whig papers ; for although we have read them carefully, as is our duty, we have found not the least intimation of the most distant idea of aban doning Mr. Clay ; if their information is verbal and from Whigs, it came from those tvho have no knowledge of the disposition and condition of their party. We can well conceive that the managers of the Demo cratic party would greatly rejoice over and magnify the faintest symptom of dissatis faction among us which might lead to any such distraction and divisions as now per vade their own ranks—but, with them “the wish is father to the thought”—the design which they impute to the Whigs exists on ly in their own imaginations. Firm and united under the banner of their chosen leader, nothing but his death will prevent the Whigs from ultimate tri umph. No other rnan in the nation can so concentrate theiropinions upon himself, none other can so fully obtain their support, none other oan unite in himself the grati. Hide due for great public services and the admiration all honorable men pay to an upright and generous character, and no other is so much feared and respected by bis and oUr opponents. Tho reward due to him for a long life well spenti in his country’s cause, can no longer be withheld. For him the Whigs will vote, and for him only; if by any accident they should be deprived of their glorious leader, then may the so called Democrats assure themselves of an easy victory, for he is the (ife and soul of our party, the very impersonation of their principles ; if by fraud or violence lie should be defeated, then will there be but one party in this nation—the Chief Magis tracy will become an oflice which no hon est man will bi^ve —a goal to which “vi pers will crawl, when mah disdains to climb,” —a fountain of corruption whose stream will sweep this republic into the a byss where other republics have sunk be fore her. Henry Clay is and will he the candidate of the Whig party, and can and must be elected. Let our friends then place no credit in the insiduous inuendoes of their opponents, they have no foundation in truih, they are but a part of their usual system of chicanery and falsehood. The Colitintms Trials). The trial of John L. Lewis, accused of being accessory to the Columbus Bank Robbery, has resulted in a verdict of ac quittal. The Jury were out about thirty hours, which proves not that his guilt was by any means doubtful, but more piobably that they were ashamed to show their faces to the public with such a verdict. Public opinion however, renders a very Liferent verdict from that of the Jury, and univer saliv condemns Lewis. A verv large meeting of the people of Columbus was held immediately after lilt; trial, at which, reso lutions were passed condemning the present mode of selecting Jurors by which crimi nals are so often enabled to escape, and re commending that the Legislature make a change in the law in this respect; a reso lution was also passed requesting Lewis to resign his office of Solicitor-General of the Circuit, which he has the shamelessness still to retain. The Columbus Enquirer gives us a se vere rebuke, “ and clinches it with Scrip ture,” because we thought proper to pub lish an extract from the N. Y. Tribune, di vulging, as the Enquirer says “one of the most extensive and well-laid plans ever hit upon by a set of conspirators to rob the State and people,” which, it seems, accord ing to the Enquirer, “was a profound se oret.” Avery profound secret truly, (a . bout as profound as the Editor of the'En quirer himself,) which is published in one of the most extensively circulated papers in the Union, which is republished in other papers in Georgia beside ours, which was the subject of common street talk through out the State, before we published it, and which we thought (finding the Columbus papers not disposed to sa v any thing about it,) we should do no harm by copying from tbo Tribune, never supposing that could bo la profound secret which was so widely known. We are not disposed to quarrel with so good a Whig as the Editor of the Enquirer, but we advise him “ not to kick before he is spurred” here after. A Meteor. —On Saturday evening last, a meteor of uncommon size and brilliancy, was seen to pass over our town; its course was from west to east. After passing across the chief part of the heavens, it hurst into several fragments with a noise much loud er than that of a cannon. From the inter val which elapsed between the disappear ance and the sound, our informant conject ures that it was about forty miles distant. Columbia (S. C.) Planter, 31 st ult. The same beautiful meteor was observed here. Those who saw it,say that it appear ed about the size of a man’s head, [t pro ceeded from a point a little north of the zp nith and burst near the eastern horizon; no noise was observed to follow its explosion. It must have been at a great distance, as we are informed by travellers that it was seen, of a similar size and at the same ele vation, 100 miles south-west of this place. Ed. News. MR. MARSHALL, OF KENTUCKY. This gentleman thus speaks of General J ackson : “He has never been through life with out an antagonist, and he has always been victorious. His horses always won when he was a racer. He had a contest with Dickenson, and killed him. He had a fra cas with the Bentons and cleared them out. He used up Packenham and the British ar my at New.Orleans, those veterans who had gone through the war of Peninsula, without meeting an adversary who could withstand them for a moment. He hung Arbuthnot and Ambrister, and bullied the Senate when called to account for it. He beat John Quincy Adams in the race for the Presidency, and crushed the “monster Bank” under the heel of his military boot. For the many injuries he has done the j country, it would seem that some retribu- j tion were due in the next world if not in this. But even there the Hero has proved i too hard for his enemy ; for he has turned [ Presbyterian and cheated the Devil him- I self.” | From the Georgia Journal of Tuesday. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The Convention, called to nominate a de mocratic candidate for Governor, assemb led at the State-House on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. For jhe of organi zing, Joseph Day was called to the Chair, and F. H. Sanford, Esq. acted as Secretary. After the names of the delegates were en rolled, and other preliminary matters at tended to, a motion was presented, appoint ing a committee of five, to suggest to the Convention, suitable officers to preside over its deliberations. This motion was oppos ’ od, and the name of Joseph Day, Esq. was j proposed as President of the Convention. 1 ‘l'lie motion to appoint a committee was then withdrawn; and at the request of tho Chairman, the motion to appoint him Presi dent was also withdrawn. Dr. Fort was then nominated President, anil F. H. San ford and D. P. Ellis, Esq’rs. appointed Sec retaries. The Convention now being fullv organ -0.0 ized, the first proposition of importance pre serited, was upon a resolution, calling for the appontment of a Committee of 21, to re port upon the Presidential question—nomi nate a candidate, &c. This resolution was ■like a fire-brand thrown in the midst of our Democratie friends. Up to the time of our writing, no definite action has yet been bad upon it. Its adoption was most warmly opposed by several of the members of the Body, and advocated by others. Among its supporters ure Messrs. Cohen, McLaws, and Sturgis. Among its opposers are Messrs. O. H. Kenan, Howell Cobb, Ken dall, Dunnegan and others. Mr. Dunne gan then presented a substitute which is still under consideration. Without taking a direct vote, the Convention adjourned to 3 o’clock, P. M. We know not what will be the action of the Convention, in their choice of either a Governor or President; but from what we can judge by observation, the Calhoun par ty have greatly the ascendency in it. We may be mistaken, but we think the friends of Mr. Van Buren decidedly in the minori ty in this Body. The delegates number a bout 200. We have no time to say more. Escape of Convicts. —On the afternoon of the 29th, just before the hour at which the convicts are usually committed to their cells, while tho door through the back wall was open, and a portion of them employed there at work, the alarm of fire was soun ded by a few in the blacksmith shops con tiguous.to draw off attention, when some half a dozen gathered up hammers, axes, &c., and made tin. ir escape. They were joined by several of those outside, and eleven in all escaped. They were fired upon by the guard, and one is supposed to have been wounded. Five have been subsequently retaken. In’ effecting this, in a contest be tween some of Mr. William Sand ford’s ne g.oes, who were ordered to aid in the mat ter, a knife was drawn and resistance made by one of them named George W.Crowder, committed from Muscogee, When a “blow was inflicted on him, as the Coroner’s in quest returns, by one or more of Mr. S’s ne groes, which has subsequently caused his death. Crowder is said to have been of no toriously bad character, and among the ring leaders. Graham, lately committed for j negro stealing from Wilkinson, another of 1 the worst, is said to have been among those ! retaken.— Milledgeville. Recorder. i A Remarkable Fact. —We learn from tho | N. Y. Journal of Commerce (anti tariff pa per) that the prices of cotton goods are now | 20 per cent cheaper in this country than in ! England ; and as a consequence of it, goods j manufactured at Lowell, Massachusetts, are shipped to Manchester, in England, | where, after paying the British duty of ten percent, they still make a fair profit. Does not this fact demonstrate that the duty on the English goods is not a tax upon the A merican consumer ‘! “Ay, but (says the free trade man) it proves that you can get along without protective duties also.” So it does, so far as that article is concerned, now that the child has become a man ; but does it prove that when it was a child it did not need the aid of some friendly hand to sustain its first feeble efforts to walk ? Had our cotton manufactures not received this support when they were in their infan cy, they could never have reached a state of maturity, and instead of now selling here 20 per cent below the English prices, we should have been, cx necessitate, compelled to pay the English prices for such goods— -20 porct. higher now than the American ; to which at least 20 per cent additional might have been added for the absence of American competition, enabling the foreign monopolists to extort their own price. What stronger proofean be adduced in favoroftho utility of moderate protective duties, even if cheapness to the consumer were the only thing to be consulted ? Yet prejudice and partizanship have blind eyes and deaf ears.— Lynchburg Virginian. The Enquirer and other Locofoco papers have lately published Mr. Clay’s speech in 1811, against the re-charter of the U. S. Bank, with deserved encomiums on its great ability. Will they now, just for the sake of giving both sides of the question, publish Mr. Calhoun’s speeches in 1815 and 1816, in favor of the Bank, together with his powerful argument in 1834, in favor of an elongation of its charter 12 years ? And, if it isn’t asking too much at their hands, we invite them to publish Mr. Calhoun’s speech in favor of the bill setting aside the Bank bonus to purposes of internal improve ment by the general government, which Mr. Madison vetoed—and his Report, while Se cretary of War, recommending a great Na tional, Road from Buffalo, in New-York, to New-Oi leans, to an estimated cost of one hundred millions of dollars! Wc think their readers ought to know something of Mr. Calhoun’s opinions on these subjects, when he was bidding for the vote of Penn sylvania—and perhaps his speech n favor of the Protective Policy, in 1316, might not be altogether an unfit companion-piece ! Lynehbv r g Virginian From the Columbus Enquirer. OUR SUPERIOR COURT. 1 lie Court has been occupied since Wed nesday morning last, now just a week, in the trial ot John Langdon Lewis, charged under an indictment as accessory after the fact with the offence of robbery, or, in plain er English, with feloniously receiving and concealing the bag of.money recently sto len from the Western Insurance and Trust 1 Company ot tiiis city. There was great difficulty experienced in getting a jury— j we think as many as seven pannels, each i 0,1 ‘lB men, were exhausted, before the jury I ol 12 could be made up. It was finally ! completed on Thursday at noon. Immedi ately after diuuer tiie Attorney-General presented the hill of indictment to the jury, and proceeded to introduce evidence in sup port ot tiie charge preferred. Nineteen witnesses on the part of the State, aad five on the part ot the accused, have been eall -led to testify. The testimony closed on Monday about 1>) oolock, and the argument of counsel commenced about 3 o’clock.— The case was opened on the side of the prisoner by John Watson, Esq. ; on the side of tho State by the Attorney-General, Mr,. Gardner; Alex. McDougald, M. J. Wellborn, Seaborn Jones and Walter T. Colquitt, Esq’rs. followed in the order of their names for the prisoner : James John son, Hines Holt, J. C. Alford and Robert Toombs, Esq’rs. in the same order on the part of tho State. Some of these gentlemen have concluded their remarks, before we go to press. The case will hardly be sub mitted to the jury before the time our mails close. Much interest is felt for the result, and the court house is crowded with spec tators. The testimony has been of such a character as to open up a wide field fir the display of ingenuity and eloquence by the counsel on both sides. There (s but one o pinion as to its tendency on the part of the people, but there are at least two opinions as to the result of the trial. We have at tended in person during the investigation, and have iprillen a book of sixty pages fools cap, with the testimony. What we shall do with it remains to be told. At present, for cause, we place it among the secret records of the times. In a word, we are advised by the counsel for the State to withhold it from the public eye, until the termination of the present and approaching trials. PAINFUL OCCURRENCE. During the examination of the witnesses in the case of the State vs. Lewis, last Fri day, the Court was thrown into great con fusion by a rush of people towards the lob by, accompanied by a noise and crying out in the lobby adjoining the court-room.— The confusion was soon ascertained to have been occasioned by a most horrid suicide in the lobby. A man named Dr. Smith, a son-in-law of Mr. Russell, the proprietor of the first stage-house east of the city, had put an end to his existence. Smith, we understand, had been arrested that morning by Deputy Sheriff Howard, on a warrant for stealing corn. Shortly after his arrest, lie went to the drugstore of Ware & Pond, with Mr. Howard, on pretence of buying some medicine for a patient. Officer How ard was prudent enough to inquire of the druggists what it was that the prisoner ob . tained. Being informed that it was poison, (prussic acid,) he kept a close eve upon him, and induced him to go to the court house to get counsel, hoping to get the phial ’ from him. Although a strict watch was kept by Officer Howard, shortly after get ting into the lobby at the court-house the unfortunate man drew tiie poison from his pocket and attempted to swallow it. His ■ hand was caught by Howard, who imme diately called for assistance ; but before a nv could be had, Smith succeeded, in spite of Howard’s exertions, in swallowing a portion of the poison, and with the other hand drew a knife from his pocket and cut his throat. He survived but a f<?\v min utes. Smith’s wife and friends were sent for immediately, but of course did not ar rive in time to see him before he was dead. The scene when his wife (to whom he had been married but a few months) canje up, was truly heart-rending.— lbid. Drowned. —A man named Simpler was drowned in the river opposite the upper end of this city, on Friday evening last, in an attempt to escape from the officers of the law, who were seeking to arrest him under a warrant for a violation of the law against retailing spirituous liquors without license, in Alabama. The unfortunate man first made an effort to get into a small boat and cross the river. But the officers of the law were so close upon his heels he had not time to unhitch his boat from its mooring, and therefore jumped in as was supposed to swim the river. In the attempt he was drowned.— lbid. The Cincinnati Gazette, refering so a cu r rent report that the Hon. John McLean of Ohio, is to he brought out as a Whig candi date for President, decidedly observes: “Who are supposed projectors of this mys terious plan, or what may be their views, we cannot divine. But we do know, from an authority which cannot be questioned, that Judge McLean has no knowledge of any such design, and that be will not sanc tion any movement, come from what quar ter it may, which would make him a can didate for the Presidency in opposition to Mr. Clay.” Death of Noah Webster. —We regret to learn the death of Noah Webster, L. L. D. He died at his residence in New Haven, on the evening of the 28th ult., in the 85th year of his age. OWe learn from Milledgeville that the “Democratic” Convention have nominated MARK A. COOPER, the Honorable, for Governor, and recommend the Hon. JOHN C. CALHOUN, as a candidate for the Pro. aideticv “ Whig Promises — Why have they not been fulfilled —An exchange paper very justly remarks that when lie hears a Loco foco taunt the Whigs with a failure to ful fil their promises made in 1840, lie sets him down as unscrupulously dishonest. — Upon this remark, the Nashville Banner, makes the fol lowing admirable comments : ‘l'lie unparalleled treachery by which the Whigs have been thwarted in their fa vorite public measures, and which has so corruptly turned the whole power of the Federal Executive Government to tiie ad vantage of Locofocoism, is so palpable, so gross, so wholly undisguised, that if is al most impossible to come to any conclusion. John Tyler, chosen arid confided in as a : Whig, and whose apparent sympathy and ; friendship for Mr. Clay, were such as to cause him to shed tears for his defeat at Harrisburg, is now a professed “ Democrat ic President pursuing the Whig party with the bitterest hostility, profusely stut tering office and emolument among the “de mocracy,” and openly claiming ‘•‘■always to have been a Democrat /” It is known to such Locofocos as stoop to employ this charge, that the Whigs had been in power but a single month, when John Tyler came into office, and commenced at once the trai torious work of alliance with their oppo nents, bv which their plans have been so signally defeated. It is known that through this corrupt alliance between Tyler and the “Democracy,” it has been rendered impos sible for the Whigs to fulfil the promises with which they are now so shamelessly taunted. It is known that a National bank, the great financial measure of the Whigs, through which they expected to contribute essentially to the relief of the country, was defeated by this newly made “ Democratic President.” It is known that by a rapid succession of Presidential Vetoes all of which were rapturously cheered and ap plauded by the •“ Democracy,” the Whig plans and measures have been thwarted, in spite of their most faithful efforts to the con trary. It is known that the “ democracy” have defended, and sustained the exercise of “ this one man power” against the will of the Representatives of the people—that they have defended and applauded John Tvler in all his traitorous conduct—and that he in turn has profusely bestowed his patronage on the “democracy,” to whom, through all the accredited organs of his ad ministration, his allegiance lias been open ly and boldly declared ; yet, with these facts so notorious and so fresh in their mem ories, there are those who profess to hold the Whigs responsible for the results of this traitorous conduct; and it is such that our cotemporary aptly says he regards as un scrupulously dishonest. It would seem by the following para graph in the Trenton State Gazette, that Tylerism is becoming plethoric in that town. It is a disease, however, which need give them little alarm—people afflicted in that way very soon get over it: “ The truth is there, are too many Tyler men. There are at least a dozen in this town, and only one office for them all. It is high time for them to split. Half a doz en at least must be pitched over board. As soon as one of them gets an office, the others fall upon him and denounce him as an en emy of the President at heart. If he should be turned out, they would in three weeks attack his successor in the same way. Be ing in office is with them proof positive of opposition to the President.” Honesty towards Uncle Sam. —The Wal do (Me.) Signal relates an anecdote of the Hon. Edward Kavanagh, at present Ac ting Governor of Maine, which is “impor tant if true,” and is a remarkable instance of honesty in a politician. The story is as follows: While a Member of Congress, some of his hangers-on used to call on him to frank letters for them. This his Excel lency did with pleasure, and always kept an exact account of the amount of postage which ought to have been paid to the Gov ernment, and at the close of every quarter caused te be deposited in the Post Office Department the precise amount he had franked out of the Department. Perpetual Motion. —Tiie nearest ap proach which man can make to the perpet ual motion of the planets, is in our opinion, tho construction of a machine which when set iti motion, will continue until the mate rials of which it is constructed wear out— and a pieceof machinery is now being made in this city, with confident expectations of success. It is a self-winding clock, and from the ingenuity and skill of the artist, (Mr. Henry Jatho) we shall not be surprised at his accomplishing the object. He has already constructed a clock, with only three wheels, which not only keeps excel lent time, but exhibits the days of the month and week in addition to the hours and se conds—and it is wound up without the slightest loss of time. It is a beautiful time-piece, and is not so liable to get out of order as ordinary clocks.— Balt Tat. Coach Jflateln fji, t|MIE Subscriber having procured the servi ces of Mr. N.

SPENCER’S ‘ [vegetable pills! fTIHESE Pills have long been known andap- J- predated, lor their exiraordinary and im mediate powers of restoring perfect health to persons suffering under nearly every kind of div erse to which the human frame is halve. They are particularly recommended to all tho e persons who are afflicted with any kind of a chronic or lingering complaint , as there is no medicine before the public which has so nature! and happy effect upon the system in correctiiaj the stomach and liver, and to the formation ot healthy chyle and thereby purifying the blood. They are acknowledged by the hundreds and thousands who are using them, to be not only the most mild and pleasant in their operation, but the most perfectly innocent, sale and efficient medi cine ever offered to tfie public. These who once make a trial of these Pills, never after want feel willing to be without them, and call again and again for more ; which is sufficient proof ei their'good qualities. HEADACHE—SICK Oil NERVOUS. Those who have suffered and are weary of suffering with this distressing complaint, wi.. find Spencer’s Vegetable Pills a remedy at once certain and immediate in its effects. One sing!-’ dose of the Pills taken soon as the headache is felt coming on, will cure it in one half hour en tirely. As<i remedy in summer and bowel complaint:', they dispiay their wonderful powers to admira tion, and are tar superior to any thing in use for these complaints. in Dyspepsia and Liter Complain', they stand unrivalled. Many have been cured in a few weeks, after having suffered under the dreadful complaint for years. In Habitual Costiveness, they are decidedly superior to any Vegetable Pill ever brought be fore the public ; and one 25 cent box will estab lish their surprising virtues, and place them be yond the reach of doubt in the estimation of eve ry individual. They are invaluable in nervous and hypochon driacal affections, loss of appetite, and all com plaints to which females alone are subject. They are mild in their action, and convey ‘al most immediate conviction of their utility from the first dose. They may be taken by persons of any age; and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate are strengthened by their operation, because they dear the system of bad humor.-, quiet nervous irritability, and invariably produce sound health. Upwards o: three hundred and seventy thousand boxes of those inestimable Pills have been sold within the last twelve months in three States a lone, and more than three times the same quan tity in other.
