per an article for bread called Virginia or short biscuit, and tho more lard put into them the more is their value en hanced with tho Southern epicure ; and i wherever this bread is used, whether‘in town or country, do we find bilious fever and dyspepsia in all their various forms.— In North Mississippi, Corn Bread is much more used even by the elite, and that made of coarse meal ; I do not ask any body to believe my say so, on the subject—l only ask victims of sick head-ache, incipient dys pepsia—in a word, all afflicted with irregu lar digestion, to try it. Nor do I wish them to compare me to the fox in tho fable, that was so unfortunate as to get his tail cut off in a trap. Ido not persuade them to this course because we can’t get flour here. As to society, I spoke of that in my form er letter in the most favorable terms, and I have seen nothing to induce me to change that opinion—but much to increase it. I ltave attended two Camp Meetings in the neighborhood recently, and more orderly, genteel, and devotional congregations, I n.t v e never seen; a ‘blue light’ puritan could not object to the present society of North Mississippi. The ensuing year will be a most favor able time for emigration to Mississippi.— Land and provisions are as cheap as a Shy lock could ask. To overseers, I would say this is the country for them—and none who f are entitled to the name, stand higher here ” or can command better wages than those from Georgia—and such are now in de mand ; wages range from S2OO to SIOOO, according to qualification and number of hands. The inducement to mechanics are equally great: good Georgia blacksmiths can find a home and profitable employment here. I did promise you a dish of Mississippi politics, but I have no room—and your pa per will be so full of Election returns and Whig victories, that you might think the same. Clayton and Brown, the two candi dates for Governor, were with us a few days since, and gave us each a stump speech. If I had the making a Mississippi Governor, I would make for all the world just such a man as George R. Clayton—he looks like “ he was made to rule,” and 1 believe will for the next two years. Your friend, &c. A. D. STATHAM. ( NEWS AND GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT, maaarsr 03“ The returns from Ware, the only not included in our Table last week, show a majority of 19 for Cooper— being a considerable gain from last year, when the Democratic majority was 80. A Democrat is elected to the Senate and a Whig to the House of Representatives. 03“ The Whigs of Richmond county, have expressed a preference to General DUNCAN L. CLINCH, to fill the va cancy caused by the recent death of the Hon. John Millen. We heartily second the motion—we believe that General Clinch will command the united support of the Whigs throughout the State. Governor McDonald has not yet appointed a day for the Election. 03“ Dr. Statham’s letter will be inter esting to those who design removing to the West this winter, of whom, we are sorry to /say, there is some among us. The Doctor is well known among us, and it is scarcely necessary to say that whatever he alledges may be relied on. Wilkes Agricultural Society The exhibition of Stock, by this Society last Friday, though not to be compared with similar Exhibitions in other parts of the country, was yet most gratifying, as giving evidence of the increasing interest our peo ple are taking in such matters, and we sin cerely hope that these small beginnings may result in great and permanent bene fits. It is by the operation of such Associ ations that their exhausted Lands are to be revived ; that the disastrous spirit of emi gration which has desolated this county (called old Wilkes, though it has not yet been settled a century,) is to be checked ; that improvements in Agriculture are to be discovered and brought into use, that our people, the produce of whose labor has gone to pay strangers for their meat and bread, are to v “lade independant, that our citi zens are to be taught to enrich and beautify the heritage of their fathers, and, by prepar ing for their children a home worth loving, lay the best foundation for love of country in their hearts. It is our ardent desire to ipee such associations multiply and prosper, ‘to see at least one” such in every county, and every farmer a member of one. In answer to those who have desired us to pub lish Mr. Irvin’s address before the society, we regret to say that that gentleman has taken a singular notion that it is unworthy of publication, in which wo know that none who heard him will agree with him. INr.Clay’* Speech. That our candidate for the Presidency may be presented in his right position on the subject of Abolition, we have thought proper to republish, at Length, his famous speech on Abolition petitions delivered in the Senate, in 1839. It is a musterly and most unanswerable argument aguinst the designs of the fanatics, was allowed by his Southern adversaries, at the time of its de livery, to be perfectly satisfactory to the South, and if the views presented in it had been acted on, would have put the question at rest forever. The schemes of aspiring demagogues, addressing Southern men through the basest passion of human na ture, that of fear, have succeded in neu tralizing the effect of Mr. Clay’s admirable speech, and by perverting some expressions in it (no more dangerous in their character than many similar expressions every day used by Southern slave-holders themselves) have even persuaded good and patriotic men, not fully acquainted with Mr. Clay’s course in this matter, that he is himself an abolitionist ! We commend this speech to the attention of all, and desire nothing more than that all would compare, calmly and without prejudice, the sentiments therein contained with those of the Abolitionists, and ask themselves whether they, in Mr. Clay’s position, could have gone further in denunciation of their destructive schemes. It is certain that this very speech has won for Mr. Clay the most rancorous ha tred of tho fanatics. Their papers teem with abuse of him, and in the speeches of their orators he is made the standard sub ject of vituperation. Is it not strange that they should quote from this speech to prove that he is their enemy, and that his foes at the South, to prove him an enemy to the Southern institutions, should quote from the same speech, when no part of it is contra dictory or inconsistent with another ? Had Mr. Clay not been the bold, open, fair-deal ing man which he is, be might easily have avoided this declaration of his sentiments and made his words bear a double sense, like some of our prominent men who seem to hold, with the French statesman, that language was given to us not to express but to conceal our thoughts. But men are not accustomed to expect such a course from him, and many have accused him of impru dence because he entertained no opinion that he did not take occasion to express distinctly and directly, adopted no course that was not straight-forward and open.— In reading therefore, this or any other speech of Mr. Clay, our friends may rest assured they discover the true and sincere sentiments of his heart. 03“ Before the Election, nothing was to be had from the Democratic papers, but prosy disquisitions on the alledged evils of the Tariff; not a word in defence of their own mal-administration of State affairs ; they pinned the Whigs strictly down to that question, and would discuss no other.— Since the Election, they have been almost entirely silent on the subject; we have not seen one attempt to prove that the farmers (whose misfortunes they always pity so much before the Election,) pay a great deal more for their necessaries than they did two years ago ; they are perfectly mum about the exorbitant prices of Salt, Iron, Sugar, Coffee, arid Cotton Goods, under the present Tariff! Why don’t they keep the ball rolling ? If they do not soon again com mence ringing the changes on the TarifT, we shall think their silence ominous of the fate of Mr. Calhoun, among the Democracy of Georgia. He alone, of all the numerous Democratic candidates for the Presidency, is an anti-Tariff man, except perhaps one Tyler, whose opinions on almost every sub ject, are unknown, and who is the favorite of some of their party whom he has pur chased. They suited their principles, be fore the Election, to the complexion of Mr. Calhoun’s, as was necessary while fighting under his banner, since he has been over thrown in Georgia, and is no longer “a vailable,” they are no longer his men, but loose fish, his who first catches them.— Not knowing, therefore, which of the nu merous squad of aspirants for the Presiden cy will first take possession of the party, whether Van Buren, Cass, or Johnson, all Tariff-men, their papers are making ready for a change of principles in this respect, and are “ keeping dark” _ for the present, that some of their lately expressed opinions may be partially forgotten. Look out soon for anew Democratic candidate and anew Democratic creed. &3“ Why don’t somebody stir up Joel Branham, of Eatonton, and make him show that Letter from Mr. Clay. Such letters are in high demand just about these times, and he might make the name of Joel illus trious by publishing it. His other name has already come to be commonly used, as synonymous, for a not uncommon sin—“ I killed thirty patridges at one shot the other day,” said one fellow to another. “ Oh, Cricky ! what a Branham” —was the re. ply. FIRE! We learn by the mail carrier that the town of Monticello, Jasper county, suffered severely on Saturday night last by a fire, which destroyed a portion of the business part of the town. Sevoral stores were burnt up, and severe losses experienced by individuals. It was supposed to be the work of an incendiary. —Georgia Journal. LOOK OUT FOR VILLAINS. There arc a number of men prowling through the country stealing negroes, not only from plantations &.c. but even from jails. A few days since two of these wor thies came to this place, professing to have one or two negroes in jail. Oneofour ci tizens, thinking that all was not right, went to the jail outlie morning after their arri val and found one of them conversing with a negro belonging to Mr. Howard of Ala bama. Ills master’s relatives being near this place, and our citizen having mention ed the fact to the jailor in the hearing of the scoundrel, he immediately left the jail, and a few rods off, upon meeting w ith his friend who was coming up to prove the property, they passed a few words, put whip to their horses, and have not been heard of since : One of them is a man by the name of Johnson, who was sent from Bibb, we are informed, and has served out one term in the Penitentiary—and the other is supposed to be an individual, with red hair and whis kers, tall, stout made, with sandy complex ion—and professes to hail from Alabama or South Carolina.— lb. MR. CLAY AND COL. JOHNSON. In the memoir of Col. Johnson, lately published, (says the Otsego Republican,) lie pays the following eloquent tribute to the character of the Whig candidate, Mr. Clay. It should silence forever, the mouth ing, small beer politicians, who delight to talk of Mr. Clay’s “bargain and intrigue” with Mr. Adams in 1824. “From his earliest political career he had been associated with Mr. Clay, from the same State, and for many years the re presentative of the adjoining district. For the last eighteen years they have both been conspicuous in opposite ranks. It has for that length of time been the interest of one to defeat the other. But under no circum stances could he ever be induced to utter a sentence to the detriment of Mr. C. as a ci tizen, a gentleman, a man of honor, of tal ents and of integrity. All his opposition to him is political. Asa man, he esteemed him, as an old friend, he loves him, and in his honor, he strongly confides. If Mr. Clay were the subject of this sketch, justice w'ould require the same tribute of respect to his magnanimity and fidelity. Martin Van Buren has received about $200,000 salary since the year 1808. He is 65 years old, and he therefore has ob tained Eight Dollars for every day of his life. A Governor Indicted. — The Indiana Statesman of the 23d ult., published at New Harmony, says, that at the recent sitting of the Grand Jury in that county, a bill of in dictment was found against Governor Big ger, for pardoning (on the solicitation of the people of Clay county,) an individual na med Read, before ever he teas tried, for crimes committed in Posey county. Great Curiosity. —Our readers have all heard of the famous Copper Rock of Lake Superior. It is now in this city, in the pos session of Julius Eldred, Esq., who, after much expense and several months of hard labor, has succeeded in removing it. It is certainly one of the greatest mineral curi osities in the world, and everyone will be anxious to see it. It is supposed to weigh about four tons, and is nearly pure copper, about 95 per cent. Its location was in the bed of the Ontonagon river in the Upper Peninsula, about 300 miles above the Sault de Ste Marie. Detroit Advertiser. Tennessee Seat of Government. —The General Assembly of Tennessee, after much discussion, has fixed the seat of Gov ernment of Tennessee, at Nashville. The papers rejoice at the result. The Whig says : “ The distinguished honor thus bestowed is heightened by the consideration that it received the approval of nearly two-thirds of the Senators and Representatives elected by the people under the new apportionment, and it can be worn by our city with the consciousness that it springs more from the deliberate opinion of the General Assembly that it was deserved from her commanding advantages than from her own solicitations upon the subject.” We learn that Mr. Matthews, a member elect of the Legislature, from Lumpkin county, died recently at his residence in that county. We also learn that Mr. Israel Bird, a Re presentative elect from the county of Bry an, died on Wednesday last. Air. Bird was a Whig, and Mr. Matthews a Demo crat.—Georgia Journal. We should like to know what Judge Col quitt, the newly elected U. S. Senator, and who is a great stickler for the Locofocodoc trine of instruction to Senators, thinks of this mighty uprising of the people of Geor gia who seem to have spoken with one voice “from the mountains to the seaboard.” He has not yet been sworn in as Senator, and we should think he had better tender his resignation to the Legislature and not hurt his conscience by taking his seat. Alexandria Gazette. A true bill for murder, was found by the Grand Jury of Twiggs county, last week, against J. Justice and Archibald Brown, for killing one of the Penitentiary guard in that county some weeks since. The Court adjourned till the fifth Monday in this month when it is expected the trial will take place Macon Messenger, 19 thmst. MR. WEBSTER. The Memphis Engle of the 12th instant contains the first intimation, (in a letter to the Editor, from which tho following ex tract is taken,) wo have seen of the inten tion of tho Hon. Daniel Webster to visit the West and South in his journey to Washing ton this fall. This is truly gratifying in telligence to us, which we sincerely hope may be true, for we shall take great pleas ure, so far as we are capable of doing, in extending to this distinguished citizen a most cordial welcome in Georgia. We care not what harping demagogues may say, of Mr. Webster, his former or present political principles, or whether those prin ciples concur with our own views, he is an American citizen of whom we feel proud, and for whose profound talents as a states man we entertain no ordinary respect. — Such a man is an honor to any nation, any people will be honored in honoring him, and no American citizen should hesitate to give to Daniel Webster a most cordial wel come in every section of this vast republic. The correspondent of the Eagle says:— “Mr. Webster has long since expressed a wish to visit the South, and now, since lie has become a private citizen, and can for the first time within 30 years, command his own time, we may expect to have the pleas ure of seeing him perhaps next month. He will descend the Mississippi from Pittsburg, or Wheeling, to New Orleans. From New Orleans he will pass over the lake to Mobile, from thence through Geor gia to Charleston, South Carolina, and to Washington City.”— Augusta Chronicle. Origin of Whigism. —The extravagant principles of monarchial and hierachical Government which prevailed in the time of Henry Eighth of England, gave occasion to those ofanolherkind —namely, in favour of the people. During the reign of Eliza beth, a set of opinions very dilferent from those authorized by the Court and an Es tablished Church, had crept about obscure ly, ifnot silently ; and the principles, by which King Janies and Charles Ist govern ed, gave great advantage to tho growth of these republican principles. This was the origin of Whiggism—whose glorious spirit, Lord Chatham most truly said in 1778, an imated millions in America to prefer Lib erty even in embarrassment, poverty, and distress, to gilded chains and sordid afflu ence. It was the same spirit which arous ed mil lions of Freemen in these days to u nite themselves in opposition to Executive Usurpation and Oppression. What can re sist this spirit ? An exchange paper, speaking of little Vic’s late coasting voyage of pleasure, says—“ The new royal Yatch is what is termed a clipper, and Mr. President Tyler must not feel surprised if, some tine morn ing before his term expires, he receives a friendly visit from England’s spirited and sight-seeing little Queen.” Just imagine her, reader, popping on the old gentleman with a nose, some morning just before break fast, and catching the whole breed and gen eration of the Tylers in their dishabile— old John, and young John, and little squal ling John, and Mrs. John and Bob and all of them. Now, wouldn’t there be a muss ? Wouldn’t she see sights then ? We almost imagine we can her her exclaim, “My hey, Albert, dear !is them the Vetoes ? Well, I always thought the Yankee doodles wasn’t no great scratches. What ’orid no ses they ’ave got!” But we don’t-think she’ll come over before Mr. Tyler’s term expires.— Madison Miscellany. Death from the bite of aCat. —The Brock port Sentinel mentions the death of a Mrs. Johnson, with distinct and aggravated hod rophobic symptoms, occasioned by the bite of a domestic cat, Mrs. Johnson was pas. sing through the yard of her house having no shoes on, and seeing the cat following her, turned and gavethe animal a kick.— The cat instantly fastened upon her left foot, inflicting two severe bites which la cerated the skin about the toes ; and soon after darted upon her again, and bit the right foot over the extensor tendons. This was in Alay. The wouud soon healed, and no serious inconvenience was felt until late in September, when sharp darting pains oc curred in the right foot, extending upwards to the body. These increased in violence, and finally, in the course of a week, the usual symptoms of hydrophobia superven ed, and continued with accelerated force until death ensued. The cat was killed immediately after the bites were inflicted, consequently it is not known whether it was or was not rabid. Anew way to make Candles. —We have been shown a cahdle, a v ;ut the ;ize of a large broom stra , which makes a very brilliant light, and is as durable as the tal low candle. As this is the age for econo my in every thing, it may not be amiss for us to tell our readers how to make them,—- Take one pound of beeswax and a fourth of a pound of'soft turpentine from the tree, melt them together, strain them ; take your wick of the desired length, and stretch it as you would in making a plough line ; then take the composition in a thin waiter, and hold the wick down in it as you apply it from end to end ; this done three times, will complete the operation. The above proportion of the ingredients i sufficient for a wick 40 yards long.— Chambers {Ala.) Herald. New Mode of Evading the Law. —At a camp meeting in Massachusetts, an ingen ious mode of retailing liquor was devised. A boat was drawn up in the canal at South Hadley, and it was given out that she inten ded to make a trip at six and a quarter cents each person. When the boat was full, it would sail down a few rods, untill it got into the next county when all on board were served with a glass of drink. The boat would then return for another load. A Mr. Oyster is announced as a candi date for the Legislature, in Franklin co. Pa. Many will be engaged in running him and his family down very shortlv. DEATH OF SENATOR LINN. The St. Louis Republican of tin: oth inst. announces the death of the lion. L. F. Linn, as follows : “ We regret to learn that the Hon. Lew is F. Linn, U. S. Senator from this State, was found dead in his bed, at his residence in St. Genevieve, on Tuesday, the 3d inst., at 12 o’clock, M. For some time past his health has been feeble—he lias been labor ing under an affection of the heart. The death of Dr. Linn will be a source of general regret. Through a life of ac tivity and important stations, he had won for himself the grateful affections of a nu merous body of friends. He leaves an in teresting family and the State as his mourn ers. “ ‘The Sea shall give up its dead. —On leaving the harbor of St. Mary’s, a short time since, the people in the boat saw a large red chest on the water, toward which they directed their boat’s course, and suc ceeded in obtaining tho chest. This, on being opened, was found tocon tain the corpse of a young and beautiful female, clothed in a rich silk dress, and having three solid gold rings upon her fin gers. And this was all that could be learn ed concerning her ; who she had been, or the circumstances of her death, remain to us still sealetj; it is most likely, however, that the fair young creature had died at sea, and her body been committed to tho waters of thedeep. which thus have yielded it up again. It only remains for us to add that the chest, with the body in it, just as it lay when first opened, was consigned to the grave, with the appropriate and solemn rites of Christian burial, in St. Mary’s.—New foundland I’ost. A negro man belonging to Mr. Hopkins, of Mclntosh countv, met two fine Bucks on Wednesday of last week, about half a mile from home, with their horns locked, and cut their throats with his pocket knife. Savannah Republican, 20//t inst. Stump Wit. —Heman A. Moore, Loco M. C. elect from the Columbus District, Ohio, is not a man of profound intellect or fascinating oratory. During the canvass he made a long, prosy speech in one of the townships of Licking Cos. which intensely bored the people. Sam. White, one of the Whig candidates (since elected) for the as sembly, rose to reply, and dashed into a fiery tirade against Loco-Focoism in gen eral. lie said that, like a pestilent simoom, it had overswept and withered and blighted every green thing in the land—“except,” said he, turning short around and pointing at Heman A., “except this candidate for Congress!” Caleb J. says the effect was irresistible. The Locos laughed as loud as the Whigs ; but they couldn’t help feeling a little sore afterwards, on account of hav ing endorsed White in his palpable ‘twit ting on facts.’ Fires. — A destructive fire occurred, on the morning of the 14th instant, in New Or leans, whicli laid more than two thirds of the square bounded by Gravier, Common, St. Peter und St. Paul streets, in ruins. Quebec has been visited with a tremen dous fire. Sixty houses, with numerous outbuildings, were destroyed, before itcould begot under. Five hundred chaldrons of coals and one thousand cords of wood, the property of the Government, were likewise consumed. The Teeth. —There is no country in the world where the loss of the teeth is so com mon as in our own. It is clculated that Dr. Hitchcock, of Boston, extracts more than nine thousand annually. Wilkes Agricultural Society. PTMIE Annual Fair of this Society took place in Washington, on Friday the 20th of this instant. The number of Stock exhibited was not numerous, but highly respectable as to quali ty ; ami the interest manifested by our citizens generally during the Exhibition, afford strong in dications of the growth and prosperity of the So ciety.
