The Belief Measure" has been
ably discussed; ha absurdity and
justice so fully shown; its inevitable
tendency to produce batik inptcy of tbe
State—its anti-republican spirit in tax
ing one part of the community for tbe
relief of another, haYe been so .clearly
demonstrated, that we. bare heretofore
refrained from writing .or selecting any
articles upon the subject.
We know the Loco-Focos, in the ag

grasping at'thin striw for safety; but
they roust sink, and with them this hum-

flattering visions of the glittering of
Gold, through tbe instercities of a silken
pane, nor still worse, by a prospect of
an abundance of Central money, at
twenty percent, discount,.while they must
pay for it par value.

In oar papeiof last week* we prom
ised to uotico yet further, the unjust,
and ate believe, illegal decudon of Judge
Andrews, iu Oglethorpe Superior Court,
State yse panid Fallon* IJe has - deci
ded that those who believe “ in the res
toration of all things, as & spoken of by
the Holy Prophets since the world be
gan” have, nut the^ right, (granted as
we think to every free'- white person of
unblemished character,) to testify under
the solemnities of an oath, to fact* fail
ing under their own-observation.
Aqd. why did he tbua decide ? Were
not , the offered witnesses in tbe case
mentioned, unimpeachable in all the
moral relations of life? That they were,
was not denied. But now the crime,
the" legal crime which degrades them
tol the level of the negro, aye, with
rights below even the convicts let loose
from our State Prison.—With the priv
ilege of free moral agents, thiuking and
acting for themselves, they had taken
tlie Bible into their own hands, and care
fully examining its sacred pages, had
honestly come to the conclusion that tbe
punishment of our sins was not postpon
ed to a long indefinite period, far in thro
lapse of ages, but followed the wicked
transgressor, in this life.
That they did not believe in future pun
ishments, constituted their legal inabili
ty to testify. What is the nature of the
obligation of an oath ? Is it not that
an offended Deity will furnish its
performance? And do not Universal-
ists believe this ? Moat certaiuly they

Party opinion has iu no instance influen

political capital has not been regarded

often paraded and preached up against
the present administration, by a reck

pretence to truth, and black and malig

charges which have been made by the
Globe and others of that kind, are -Btam

declaration, and contradiction is mani

stance of removal, that public opinion
does not sanctions and recognize as just
and expedient. The noisy brawlers
who were pliant tools to the bidding

suckling in the arms of a fond but im

real position is ridiculous—England has
engineered every battery and counted
every gun, which now represent tho en
masse bulwark of our resistance, and
she is not scrupulously careful in letting
us understand that she can demonstrate
fractionally the extent ofthose resources.
The insolence of superior power has
made her arrogant, and were it not for
overshadowing influence of the unmask
ed port holes of the 225 ships of France,
England before this day would have
dared to speak in a tone, not reconcile-
able to even the calculating conscience
of America. The political horizon of
our country portends a happy and im
portant consideration of this topic, and
we look with high anticipations to the
measures that will be proposed by your
Senator Preston, for its amelioration.—
By consent of the Senate, tbe whole
subject has been placed at his disposal,
and from the interest and industry he
has already, manifested in carrying it to
a happy issue, we feel satisfied that bis
propositions will be generously and un-
all able, competent, and deserving, and
with the choice Materials before us, it is
really difficult to attempt a selection.—

industry, and winning manners have
secured him the esteem and codfidence
of the whole House, and there is no man
Congress, who possesses more affec
tionately the sincere and permanent re
gard of both parties than William C.
Dawson. In his dolitical tenets, you
behold him firm, generous and undis-
gised, a competitor whom eveiy honor
able opponent should be proud to take
by the hand and enrol on the catalogue
of his friendship. Possessing every
requisite and qualification he has all the
tact to smooth the rugged roads of an
gry discussion, and cool the unfortunate
bitterness of party conflict. But beyond
all this, his lofty and unalloyed patriotism
is entitled to the most exalted respect.
When the voice and power of his State
were against him, when the arm of pros
cription was raised, as if to strike with
its paralizing influence, did he quail
falter ? No—true to the great principles
which he had ever advocated and sustain
ed, true to himself and the country, he
remained firm and undaunted, and as
sociated with a gallant band. They
warned Georgia of her delusion—they
pourtrayed the recklessness of the party
in office—they exhibited the sufferings
of a whole people, and pointed out the
sources whence the injustice emanated

awakened—until the lethargy had been
cast off, and she sto<Ml forth gloriously
redeemed, associated in tha ptoud
galaxy of those who had again rallied
to the rescue of constitutional liberty.
And when the contest was over, and the
battle had been won, did we find him
claiming any of its honors, or asking for
any of its triumphs ? No-—he was con
tent that the great object had been at
tained—that the country had been saved.
He had not been stimulated by self; the

hope that Mr. Dawson may be induced
to become a candidate, as we may ven

The Consulship to Liverpool has
been a matter of some discussion, and
the prominence of the principal appli
cants has, so far, made the result ques
tionable. Those in the fore-ground for
this appointment, are Silas E Burrows,
of New 1 York, and John C. Clarke, lead
ing conservative member of the lower
House. Both the gentlemen would do
honor to the office, and both are eminent
ly distinguished. Wo think fortune
will turn in favor of the latter.

Alluck-tus-te-miggee, the. gentleman %
so handsomely whipped bythegallant
Albania last winter, has, in view of that
drubbing, concluded to emigrate. A
delegation from his Majesty has beached
the General, and announced that life will
soon be in at Tampa to treat. Coacoo-
chee, (Wiki Cat) has been at Fort
Pierce with twenty-four of hia band.—
They obtained provision and promised
to go iu soon at Tampa. - -
Col. Worth has left fo** the Cartoon*
hatchie with one hundred picked rofen.
Hia object is tosecure Hospatakiee,aud
I trust the gallant Colonel will meet with
the success so much wished for. Yon
may, perhaps, remember that the ex
press rider between Fort Clinch and
Tampa was killed a few weeks ago. It
has since been ascertained that'thu mur-
der was committed by three of Cosa-
tus-te-nuggee’s band, wbo bad refused
to go in wfth their chiefi As sooa ee
information of this outrage reached
Tampa*. Capt. Beall, with a party of
Dragoons, slatted in pursuit, guided by
a negro. They over* ook, killed,scalped
and hung up the headman of the party.
Upon Captain Beall's return to Tamne
the friendly Indians congratulated him
upou his success. The delegation were
pleased, as it proved to the Indiana the
truth of their assertion, viz; * that eveiy
Indian who should refuse to accede to
General’s terras, would, if caught, be
hung.’ • It is said that tho transaction
had a very happy effect, for as foitune
would have it, the Indian killed had
been very active in his efforts to break
up the emigrating party.-

Dear Sir.—The report has reached
here that the Indians are breaking for
high timber, and again are operating on
the Georgia line. On the 14th inst. a
party of fifteen Indians killed two citi
zens on Brandy branch, a fork of the St.
Marys river, about 12 miles from Fort
Moniac; the report reached here via
Black Creek. Another report, via
Traders Hill, says, a party of Indians
on the South prong of the St. Marys,
killed, on the same date, (I4th inst.) a
man (citizen) and bis child. Notwith
standing all this, there are folks about
these parts, persist in saying the war is
over.
Yours truly.
We learn from Capt. McNulty; of the
U. States steamer Newbem, that tlie two
men killed by Indians on the litb'vnst.
on Brandy Branch, about twenty miles
from Black Creek, are named William
