Our new neighbor,faithful to the promise contained
in Um prospectus, made its appearance on Saturday
last. Mr. Whelm, the printer, deserves much cred
it for the taste exhibited in his department, while
Mr. Richards, the editor and propritor, will doubt
less receive the thanks of the friends of Southern
literature for this effort to establish in oar midst
weekly periodical devoted to the lauhable task of
developing, fostering and encouraging a literary j
taste among our people.
We think it unnecessary to make an appeal in
behalf of this new .enterprise, as the public gcncral-
.ly are ready to appreciate merit, wherever found,
and the “ Gazette" itself makes a much better np-
peal to the public than any thing we could saj.—
From Mr. R’s known industry and perseverance,
and from the ample materiel at his command, \vc
think when he shall have had sufficient time to rally
jUOQnd him a corps of able correspondents, the
'"Gazette” will compare favorably with any similar
publication in the country.
“ La*t January Mr. Clay came to Washington^
and in whatever public assembly (except in chorcb)
he nppeared, he was greeted with applause; every
liody turned out to behold him. In the halls of the
Capitol, members flocked around him, charmed
with his wit, delighted with his conversation. His
trip Northwards was one of triumph, and in New
York we know his extensive dealings with the la
dies who importuned him to kiss them, while Mr.
Van Buren looked on with envy. But, that unfor
tunate letter ; it gave his professed friends a
text to say that Mr. Clay was a beggar inan,

er surrenders.” It is a remarkable fact, tin
time during this session ol Congress, has tli
name of Mr. Clay, in a political connection, been ! t| u
mentioned in either branch, in the course of de
bate ! It was never so before !
The New York Courier & Enquirer, one of the
ablest Whig pajiers in tho Union, and one of thg
leading organs of our party, speaking of this last
letter of the old hero, says :

In regard to theTarifTand Internal Improvements,

avows that whatever the people will and determine

should not legislate; but whatever Congress, the
exponent of the people's will does, he will confirm
in regard to this and all other clearly constitutional

then, as Georgia is concerned, despite the efforts of | , n ,

the h«t spirit prevails in the Whig party of this
State—a spirit which, we trust and believe will be
