(•rrc(f>B4Bci of th Times*
WuaisKTos Citt, Aigust 13, 1946.
AKheu gh Coogre-H has but just adjourned,
tftiag* fee.ia to appear as if w: were in the aaid
-4k f the recess, the dull Season ia Washington.
Our tamds, however, are still ringing and ring
tag again. wit ha confused comma gfetoent of
the various elements of interest, exeiremret, aud,
personal and political discord, which
arc never tailing premonitory symptoms of the
approaching end oi a long session at Congress.
It will be a moment at least ere Washingt*>u
l.tv resumes its senses —wakes up fro,a the stu
prt%ut£ whirl of bevriLfenaeni in which even the !
most ckar-hea led men about me appear to he
steeped at prc.-c nt. Although I have known
tins c**y for a quarter of a century during the
greeter part of which time the details of the
legislation of I'l-ngrra have been fcaaiitar tone,
I have . v - iv-fore witnessed so imposing aacs
ston ms the one just closed. I mean a sc-siia in ]
wlti-'fi *i much hf- S'* l a *ceonpltsaeJ. This
is remarkable, if we take into cansidc ration the
tact that the Federal |*r*ss, ere the firt* of lie- I
ce.nlsr last, had and! nigh persuaded tire c*'u:i- 1

by want o< energy where energy was necessary,
bv rx-hness wnra cool judgement wjulJ better

ard by persona! petty favoritism in the dispen
sation of its patronage. Well—Congress met,
an*! ere its adjournment, under the guidance of
the administration it has settled the Oregon ques
mi satisfactorily to four-tilths of tin* Dem xri
ct of the country, and to all the Whigs. It has
consummated the annexation of Texas ; reduced
the Tariff to the revenue standard ; re-enactcd i
the Independent Treasury law; established a
\\ are-Hou-rez system (which is of little
less importance to the mdurtriul interests of the
country, agricultural as well as directly com
mercial, than the modification of the Tariff.) and
it has **ta;aird the principle of the graduation
of the price of the public lands with toe seal of
• approbation, if the ra asure is u*'t yet p*rfe t
ed. Ia truth, the pledge* ol the Baltimore De
mocrat*: Convention luae been aurirJ. out to the
letter.
This is doing prtVv well under the guidance
of an administration which as I remarked, had
been so generally pronounced Hr our opponents
dca*l failure, even before being tried by tha on
ly r ‘table stanis.pl known—by the action of Con
gress upoa its recommendations. The Federal
preas. however, ha*c last no prophetic character
by this notorious failure of their prognostica
tions because, ia truth—they had none to lose.
A large majority of the Federal party in Con
gress have laboured faith hilly to bring about the
realization of the anticipations of their press,
by leaving no scheme untried to embarrass the
measures of the Democracy and the recommen
dations of the administration. I doubt whether
daring the whole time of his connection with
public affairs, tho*e of Jefferson received a tithe
of the vituperative federal Congressional abuse
that wa* Showered upon the present Chief Ma
cistrate between the tirst of December 1945, and
the tenth ins*., the day es adjournment. Rage
at the real success of the administration was in
deed the rnoT Lag cause for this. The Federal
members from your State did at least their shire
of such work. Stephens who was so awfully
mooted by Yancey of Alabama, and T. B. King,
who w even now being damned by the Federal
ists of the North and Fast, for not daring to
stand straight up to their mark in defence of the
legal privilege ol’ capital to plunder labour, were
among the most conspicuous and noisy of the
amusingly harmlc.-s crowd, Larking at the heels
of the Executive. T sir course during the ses
sion with that sf Garret. Davis, Oaklings, J. Q.
Adams and other leaders ol tile Whig party in
Congress has satisrieJ a!! epen to conviction that
Meraian in 1946, though it dees not dare to
proclaim its ia disposition to sustain the country
m a foreign war. as it did in IS 12, yet labors
with its ancient assiduity to throw embarrass- j
menta ia the way of the successful defence of;
oar country's cause. Daniel Webster himself,!
who once said h‘t he would not vote to place !
rn*'Ti and raraws in the binds of President Jack- j
aoO, (during the dLfficaltfrs with France) even
if the enemy's cannon were battering the wads
of the capital. Went much further rewards justi
fying and sustaining the cause cf crer country in
this war with Mexico than did your federal re- |
presentatives. How thesw me:; will be able to
sustain themselves (politically) ia Georg-a. after
their course during this session, is a f&affcr of bo
ktti” curiosity here, where that course is more
thoroughly understood than it can ever be at j
home. I Uke it, their practical opposition to the J
successful prosecution of the wir was more the
result of party desperation anJ general political
counert. in w ith such men as John Q. Adams,
Ittddv Culver of X.v York, Delane of Ohio,
and rs of that i'k, who give tone to, and di
rect li.c course of \\ fog opposition ia Congress.
ft appears that the A’cw E.iglauJ Whigs—

nothing of tha sort has passed under my notice,!
(and there are few more close observers) to j

isting between the different leaders of federalism i
and their various supporters. The impression j
is rife hero that there is much more danger of j
disruption of the Whig party th an of such a ca- j
tastrophe to the democracy. I should be little
urpnsed if Webster and iti immediate suppor- •
ters feded in all time to come to set with the !
dominant interests in the federal party. He sees j
and understand that they only trust him far j
enough to use him. His spirit is too proud to
; -land this sort of treatment much longer. Ills
quasi TyLerism, as well as his quasi support of
ilit* war policy of the present administration, and
his proffer to consent to a certain compromise ou
the tariff question, show that he is restive under
the reins and whip of Clay, his rival. When
Congress again assembles wj shall probable wit

A meeting of the citizens of Columbus and
its vicinity was convened at the Court-House on
| Saturday evening, 22d August, 1846.
On motion, Col. John Banks was exiled to the
i Chair, and Win. P. Youge appointed Secretary.

a i iressed the meeting in a few interesting re

It Bust now i*e obvious o‘l, that the
great contest which hay Eepub
; Ucanista and an early date in
| oar political must again be fought;
; over -etiv en arid Whig parties. ■
j upon the intdflra and pciqu:-xiug subject of the I
* I’anlfi exists in the recudectiom of j
I many, a protective tariff coull not be put
! intween the piarties in Georgia. AH
ijdHntcd that it was unconstitutional and subver-
of the rights of the fcv>uh,em people, end
the great question was, how shall we moot effec
tually resist it.
That day has passed by, and it is now too true,
and as humiliating as true, that many of our
fellow eitizeus, who fifteen years ago, battled
most manfully asa inst a protective tariff, are now
its zealous and unblushing advocates. We need
not now, fellow-citizens, as then, go beyond the
Potomac to find an enemy upon whom to wreak
a just vengeance for violating the Constitution
to our great injury, but we have them among us,
our own fellow-citizeua, and tfouthejanen, who
hlindeii by- their adhesion to repudi
ated the goes’ old republican k.i.;e of equal
privileges and equal burthcrypand would fasten
upon us a policy which .vj tikes from us.
and never gives back aiuHtng—a policy which
can easily find six hutidwl planters in Louisiana,
to whom it gives a of two and a hail cts.
tor every pound which they make, but
is perfectly the six hundred farmers of
Muscogee (^■Ry —a jioiicy which taxes every
farmer in the Cnited Sutes for the
few fron-masters in Pennsylvania,—
a wimF which takes something from every man
the already princely wealth of the
Northern manufacturer—a policy whica hunts
oaf the rkh, that it may make him richer, and
neglects the poor that he may labor aud toil
without his reward.
This policy, the Whig party in Georgia is at
tending to fasten upoa us, not because it is
right or just, but because their party leads that
-way. You, fellow citizens, have twice or thrice
condemned it before, and by all the forms of ex
pression, at your primary inefetingsraas the Bal
lot Box, and in your Legislative IJRlls. have de
clared to the world that the protejpve system was
unequal and unjust. Will yotmiow suecomb t*j
it ? Will you now wear the chains forged for
you by nabobs, manufacturers and interested po
liticians. because, you see them worn by some of
your neighbors and old friends, who are making
efforts to entrap you, with ail the grave and eani
nestness of new and first converts.
It is time, fellow-citizens, to resort to the old
and faithful ballot-box, which has before done
much salutary execution in the ranks of Fed
eralism. I mean that you should revive your
State Right Associations, and invite the people
to a calm and thorough investigation of the pro
tective system, and of the purposes of the Whin
party in Georgia and elsewhere, ia their efforts
to fasten it upon us.
The people of Muscogee county, are therefore
invited to the consideration proposition,
and to respond in such manner as they may
think proper, that such means may be considered
and adopted as shall best support and ftrst.vin
our present Democratic administra
tion in its noble efforts to afford equal and just
privileges and “protection to manu
factures, the mechanic*rts, commerce and navi
gation.” A. Geouciaa.
