FOR PRESIDENT, taiamir CO” A slight frost, the first this season, occurred here last Saturday morning.— There have been frosts every morning since, which have stopped the growth of the Cotton, but will not diminish the product much, as all that could possibly make has arrived at maturity. Elections. Georgia. —The returns in our Table to day, are from all the Counties but one, Ware, which in 1841 gave a majority of some 189 against us. The Milledgeville Recorder, sums up the result as follows: For Governor, George W. Crawford, ( Whig) 38,502 Mark A. Cooper, ( Dcm.) 35,061 Whig majority, 3,441 For Congress, Whigs. Democrats. Stephens, 38,414 I Stark, 34,972 Chappell, 37,417 | Johnson, 34,709 Stephen’s majority over Stark, (our high est over their highest,) 3,442. The legislature is Whig by a majority of about 40 on joint ballot. The Senate, we yet consider uncertain; our majority in it cannot be more than three, according to our reckoning it is but one. Ah, ye Lin colnites, you ought'nt to have done that! The papers in other States, especially in South Carolina, seem greatly puzzled a bout this result, and aver that no calcula tion can be made upon the Georgia Elec tions. VVe can give them a test by which they can always predict the result: If no very plausible falsehood is started during the canvass, by the Democratic papers, up on the Whigs, and there is likely to be a jjjtll turn-out of the people, the Whigs will conquer ; with a plenty of humbug and a thin vote the Democrats beat us. Let them apply this criterion hereafter and they will seldom miss their calculations. New-Jersey. —The Whigs are beaten in this State, by a local question. New-Jer sey has always been a closely contested State, and the Democrats spared no pains to carry it this year—neither exertion nor money was spared by them to effect this ob ject. TJtey have elected 3 and the Whigs two of the five Congressmen to which the State is entitled. Pennsylvania. —The Election for Con gressmen and State and County officers oc curred on the lOn'i inst.; the returns show aWhig victory; 9 Whig Representatives to Congress are certainly elected and 8 Loco focos which is a gain of three. Seven more Districts are to be heard from, which are expected to return four Whigs. Set down Pennsylvania as certain for Henry Clay next year! Ohio. —The few returns received are most encouraging. They show a Whig gain of, at least, two Congressmen, and a gain in the Legislature. Put down Ohio also as certain for the Whigs in 1844! Whig Prospects. The prospects of our candidate for the Presidency are brightening daily, and we are convinced, from present appearances, that there is not a Southern State which will not go for him in 1844, except per haps South Carolina, which, it is probable will throw her vote away, as, in her exu berant patriotism, is customary with her. Georgia has been strongly counted on by our opponents, as theirs; the recent elec tion, determines, as decidedly as ever a local election did, that she is Whig to the core. None of the clap-traps and hum bugSwommon in our State Elections, have been of any effect in this, and no important local question was at issue in it; it has been contested, by the choice of our adver saries, upon National politics, and parties were strictly arrayed under their respect ive flags of Whig or Locofoco. Clay on the one side—Calhoun and Van Buren on | the other. The former gained the victory, deciding the political character of -sAIO. t Politically, Alabama, the only other oubtful State in the South, bears a 6rong resemblance to Georgia. There, among the Whigs, is the same zealous devotedness to their principles and to Henry Clay— there is the same divisions between the Cal houn and Van Buren factions of the De mocracy; each regarding the other with a more hearty hutred, than either does tiie Whigs. Alabama will be found side by side with us next year. In the other Southern States, the pros, pects for the Presidential Election are o qually or more favorable—Mississippi and Louisiana will again wheel into the Whig ranks and take the ground they occupied in 1840. Virginia, we have no doubt, will break away from the clique which has so long held her in bondage, and will give her vote for her noble son ; North Carolina is always right, and though the late Elections have been unfavorable to the Whigs on (t account of the Gerrymandering of the Statee by the Locofocos, they yet show an im-° mense popular Whig majority which will, be made to tell in the Presidential Election; in spite of trickery. Thus every Southern State but one (and that one which scarcely ever does right,) may be considered safe for the Whigs.— There is little doubt that they will have a majority of the Northern States. Those in which the two parties are nearly equally balanced, and where the Abolition fanatics, who are notorious for their virulent hatred of Mr. Clay, hold the balance of power, may cast their votes for someone ofthe nu merous squad of Locofoco candidates, but those States are generally small, and their votes will be but a drop in the ocean com pared to the immense majority which will carry him into the Presidential chair, and which, we doubt not, will surpass even that of President Harrison. Let no Whig, then, be doubtful of success, it is as certain as any thing in human affairs can be. 03” Mr. Cooper, “the used up man,” has come out with a statement, correcting what he calls some mistakes in Mr. Stephens’ ac count of the collision which took place be tween them, in Murray county, some weeks since. Mr. Cooper denies (what, we be lieve, nobody ever asserted) that he was at the time of his nomination connected with the ‘Shylock’ Bank, at Columbus; he says, that Bank wound up its concerns and clo sed business some 18 months since, because its stockholders found they could realize only 8 per cent, on their investment; that is, times got easier, they could not share the public quite so deeply as they had done. Thus he corrects Mr. Stephens’ mistake the Ist—though another part of his state ment seems to contradict his disclaimer of connection with the Bank, for he offers to sell the whole concern, charter and all, at a bargain, to Mr. S , as the latter considers it so profitable! Rather extraordinary, for a man who has no connection with a Bank to offer it for sale ! Mistaki'No. 2, consists in Mr. Stephens’ asserting that, with a National Bunk and a good currency, ‘Shylock’ could not have done so lucrative a business; every bodv knows that there is ‘no mistake’about that, and Mr. Cooper don’t attempt to show what the mistake is. Mr. Stephens’ mistake No. 3, is in say ing that Shylock issued ‘something intend ed to answer the purposes of circulation.’ Mr. Cooper says Shylock only issued cer tificates of deposit (and, if we recollect Mr. Stephens’ published statement, that was all he alleged) which were not intended to an swer as circulation, though he don’t deny they were used for that purpose. Mistake No. 4: Mr. Stephens asserted that Mr. Cooper was called in for the pur pose of making confusion ; the latter states that he was not called in to make confusion but to prevent confusion ; that, in short, he was a sort of Jonah, cast into the troubled waters. And so, after calling Mr. Ste phens hard names, to-wit: “ sounding brass and a tinkling cymio/,” endeth the Lamen tations of the “sage Os Mount Hope.” (Kr We have received the first number of the “Phalanx,” a Journal published in New-York, devoted to the cause of “Asso ciation, or a Social Reform,” —anew doc trine lately imported from France, whose merits we have not examined, but believe it is one of those chimerical schemes for the social improvement of the human race, which periodically start up among us— something on the Robert Dale Owen plan, but rather more practicable and moral, if we may judge from the respectable names connected with this new system. 03” Col. Webb, of the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer (and regular army,) proposes Mr. Webster as the candidate for the Vice Pre sidency on the ticket with Mr. Clay. The Whigs in this part of the Union would like to know, before acceding to the proposition, where Mr. Webster has “gone to.” Is he a Whig ? Is he a friend of Mr. Clay ? It won’t do, Colonel; you can’t Marshall the Whigs under the banner of the “Godlike,” no how you can fix it! If you must have a Vice President north of the Potomac, are there not men enough of the true grit, with out taking a Swiss? PXAIVI PUBLISHED EVERY , iw r: —~.-■■■■ u ~ HINGTON, (WILKES . New Goods.

It is signed by several hundred inhabitants of the District of Co lumbia, and chiefly of the city of Washing. 1 ton.

They wpress their regret, that the subject of the ibolition of slavery within the District of lOlumbia, continues to be pressed upon the consideration of Congress by inconsiderate .nd misguided individuals in other parts of’ I he United States.

The Doctrine of Instruction —Now jliat the election is nearly decided, it mav tiot be unprofitable to refer back to the pro feedings of the last Legislature which pas sed resolutions politically and personally offensive, with regard to our worthy Sena tor, the Hon. J. M Berrien. Does not tha’ (Legeslature stand rebuked, most gravely rebuked, by the people ? Is it not convic ted ofiiigh misdemeanors, and has the peo- Me sustained its proceedings? We have jver maintained that the doctrine of instruc ion was the most dangerous heresy afloat, hat it aimed at the integrity of Congress, ind at the cornerstone of our political struc ure, and that Georgia was not prepared to unbrace a theory so abhorrent to her real y republican principles. Pity is it that ,he Locos did not follow the noble example i>f the Whigs when they were in power, who when the State had given 7,000 major ity against the “ Northern man with South ern principles,” did not even entertain se riously the proposition to instruct Mr. Cull) bert, a man who, so far as we know, per formed no services ofimportance while in this seat, who was habitualy absent from it itill near the close of the session, and who one year repaired thither only 12 days be foie the expiration of the session, a man who was more notorious for absenteeism dian any one since the formation of the Government, who was so shamefully dere lict in his duty, as to offend his own politi sal friends. This man, we say, was not instructed bv a legislature with a Whig majority. They had too much regard for the Constitutional rights of the minority to imitate the Virginia example. It was re served however, for Senator Berrien, a man whose immense services have been public ly acknowledged throughout the length of the land, to be the object of resolutions of a furious opposition who would have been j glad to supply his place from among their ; own number. It was reserved for a man ! whose public estimation and private char acter, whose position not only as a Scna -1 for, but as one in the very front rarik of Senators, entitled him to exemption from such assaults, to he aimed at ; and now be hold the result. How impotent, how idle has beer- the attempt, and how truly has it recoiled upon his antagonists. Where now are all the arguments to prove the right of instruction ? Will not the rule work both ways ? See a State Legislature, with a Whig majority almost unprecedented in the United Stales, and see W. T. Colquitt in the U S. Senate.— He does not respect the majority. As the reasoning that shows that the constitution al term of a U. S. Senator may be varied; to suit the humor of ephemeral majorities, ; is as good this year, as it was last. If it was the voice of the people then, it is now. If the appeal to the people was against Sen ator Berrien, then it is against Mr. Col quitt now. Mr. Colquitt and Mr. Black were very active, it is said in getting up these instructions against Mr. Berrien ; will they now sip the chalice that they have with so much zeal and fervor commended i to the lips of another ? Aye, will they do it? Mr. Colquitt is opposed to the Land Distribution, is against a Bank, against Henry Clay, against every thing Whig.— He is in an alarming minority in his State, will he not resign? We answer no! He will not resign, and the Whig Legislature will not instruct him out of his seat. Such a measure they are incapable of adopting. They were above it when Alfred Cuthbert was Senator, and they have too much re gard for the Constitution to do it now. But ifever there was a political measure deli berately consigned to public reprobation, then is the proceeding of the last Legisla ture in relation to Judge Berrien. More we will not say at this time than to congrat ulate our Senator on the result. If any one in the State has reason to rejoice over the election, he has. If ho had not resisted these encroachments, if he had resigned, his party would never have forgiven him for it. But our prediction that he would not allow the Republic to receive any de trimental his hands, has proved correct, and any man might envy him the satisfaction he would enjoy in again taking his seat in the United States Senate. We learn from a correspondent in Walk er, that the Sheriff’s office of that countv was broken open one night last week, and about $2,000 in cash, stolen.

Maryland Flection. —The victory of Ma ryland is one that calls for a feeling of de vout gratitude ; and warrants tokens of re joicing of no common kind. We had hoped for some advantage, some gain in the State, because we could perceive that they had begun to cal I upon the name of Henry Clay. That in, and with questions of Local re gard, the spirit that is to animate us in 1844, was finding place, was working its good work. But we confess we did not an ticipate such a glorious result, nor could it have been calculated on by our friends. They themselves did not know the power ofthe charm they were using. Our Baltimore correspondent wrote to us on Monday as follows ; “Our election takes place on Wednesday—we expect to carry the State.” But certainly, he did not ex pect to carry the city, nor to obtain sucli a distinguished triumph in the State. We have always believed that Baltimore was a Whig city. Maryland we knew to be a Whig State, and we have now evidence of both. This result makes the Baltimore Whigs very proud. They are claiming the honor of the Convention upon the strength of it, and are crowing away worse ’ m Chapman. Long life to their crow ing, and to their cause for it! They and their brother Whigs of Maryland deserve the thanks of every Whig in the Union.— Thi/u. U. S. Gazette. Wo fear our friend Dr. Baber, lias been Tylerized, alias victimized.

It is believed upwards of S6OO will be sub scribed. Tennessee. —The Legislature of Tennes see met on the 2d inst. at Nashville. In the Senate, Josia M.

Post-Office, Carrolton, Ga. > 7th October, 18143. $ Messrs. Editors.—Permit me to inform you that about 12 o’clock on last night, our citizens were aroused from their beds by | the cry offire when the Court House was discovered to be on fire. The fire made J its appearance oil the lower floor near the east window under the stairsteps. Owing \ to the early discovery, and the energy of I our citizens, the flames were soon extin- j guished, and but little damage done to the ! building. It wasevidentlv the work of an incendiary. Respectfully yours, &c. The Grippe.- — A physician who has had a very extensive practice in this disease, remarked to us the opinion so generally prevailing, that the grippe is a very mild disease and in no way dangerous, should be corrected. He says, that as the cold weather sets in, it assumes a much more dangerous type. If there is any feeble or diseased organ, it is almost sure to fasten on that, and very frequently runs into ty phoid pneumonia, and proves fatal in a short time. So. Car. Planter. MARSHAL BERTRAND AND GEN. JACKSON. Marshal Bertrand and suite, arrived at Nashville, on the 2d inst. His interview with Gen. Jackson, is thus described by the Nashville Banner : “ The meeting between the two veterans was extremely cordial, and to all witnessing it, interesting in the highest degree. With ready courtesy Gen. Jackson welcomed the friend and companion in arms of Napoleon as one with whose history he had long been familiar ; and expressed the great satisfac tion he enjoyed at seeing the Marshal un der his his own roof. Marshal Bertrand returned these compliments with the felici ty of phrase and manner and the genuine warmth that characterise him.” After receiving the hospitalities of the Hermitage, where he dined with a smull party of friends, the Marshal returned to town in the evening, and paid a visit to Gov. Jones, and after making a round of calls up nn several citizens, returned to the resi dence of Mr. Justice Catron, whose guest he was during their stay in Nashville.
