WASHINGTON, GA.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1843.
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?

MR. CLAFS SPEECH
ON ABOLITION PETITIONS.
In the Senate of the United, States, Feb
ruary, 7,1839.
I have received, Mr. President, a petition
■ to the Senate and House of Representatives !
of the United States, which I wish to pre
. sent to the Senate. It is signed by several
hundred inhabitants of the District of Co
lumbia, and chiefly of the city of Washing.
1 ton. Among them I recognize the name of
> the highly esteemed Mayor of the city, and
t [other respectable names, some of which are
; personally and well known to me. 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. They state that they do
ot desire the abolition of slavery within
he district, even if Congress possesses the
ery questionable power of abolishing it,
vithout the consent of the people whose in
crests would be immediately and directly !

I THE ELECTION IN GEORGIA.
! 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.—

BEWARE OF INCENDIARIES.
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.

•1 Teacher Wanted
IN MISSISSIPPI.
r |tIIE Subscriber is authorized to negotiate for
a Teacher to take charge of a School in his
neighborhood for the ensuing year, to commence
in January, or Ist July. VVe have subscribed
Five Hundred Dollars and Board as a salary to
begin with. For this we wish to procure a sin
gle or married man who is disposed to emigrate
to this State, for the purpose ol Teaching the
“young ideas how to shoot.” Any Gentleman
who can teach all the English branches, Latin,
Greek, &c., and can produce satisfactory recom
mendations as io qualifications and character,
by uldressing the .Subscriber, Grenada, Yalabu
slia county, Mississippi, can be assured of the
above stated sum for his services ton months.
A young or single man can board in respectable
families ; a man with a family can do the same,
or if he has Negroes and wishes to farm it, he
can rent or buy land convenient, to the School.
It is believed that the School will be worth, more
than the sum named, and at the expiration of the
year the Teacher can have his choice of the fix
ed salary or proceeds of the School.
For further particulars, address me as above,
j and for a description of our country, 1 beg to re
i fer to a letter from me published in the “ News
