to rote them down, nt least if we rightly understand their principles and their per severance. “Useless resolutions.”—What an ex pression of opinion upon a great consti tutional question, to he set down as use less when federalism and consolidation are stalking through the land. When the leaders of the Whig party are claim ing for the General Government the right C< exercise powers wholly subversive of Estate Rights ! Is not the Recorder prepared to de clare whether a National Rank is con stitutional or not? Does it dread to see its party brought to the test upon that question ? Verily, verily, it is time they should doff the State Rights flag, when they shrink from full, free, and fearless discussion upon subjects so deeply con nected with State independence. Shall Georgia not declare her senti ments upon the mode of keeping and disbursing the revenue of the Union? Is she not a member of the confederacy ? Has she not an interest in the subject which authorizes her to speak ? We hope she will speak, and speak the lan guage not to he misunderstood—that she will prove lierselt to he on the side ot the Constitution, and manfully supporting the reserved lights ni the States. ' That a great majority of her people are opposed to a National Batik and in fa vor of separating the Government from nil Banks, we have no donht, although in the late election, some have succeed ed who are not orthodox upon those ques tions, and whv? Because our oppo nents would not meet and discuss them before the people. Keep dark and lie close to your party, was the watchword, and hence the lieterogenious complexion of their Congressional ticket, composed of one U. S. Bank man, three non-com mittal, and five anti-Bank and Sub-Trea sury. But the time is at hand when the peo ple must understand the principles of their leaders —\i hen they must know to what point of the compass they tire to be carried by their pilots. No party can stand long which shrinks from discussion; and so the Whigs will find it to their cost. But let them take their course. The Union party are proud of their principles. They are always ready to maintain them before the country, and to record their votes in their favor. They have nothing to evade or conceal, hut like Bara, “They shun no question and they wear no mask.” WHIG BOCTSSXKS o.\ Ii 52 U K KEXt'Y. Mr. Webster says: “Through our whole history, we have found a convert ible paper currency, under proper con trol, highly useful, by its pliability to circumstances, and by its capacity of en largement in a reasonable degree, to meet the demands of anew and enterprising community,” &,»*. To have selected something possess ing these capacities of pliability, and ex pansion, and contraction, ns a standard of value, would have been as wise on the part of society, as for them to permit the merchant to have his yaidstick of India rubber. He could, in like manner, praise its virtues n (pliability and expan sion, and show how convenient and ex pedient it would he at one time to expand, and at another to contract, and yet still have the same standard of measure.— He might talk of the hardship and in convenience of having a yardstick of wood that was destitute of that admira ble quality pliability, and would still he a yard, and nothing but a yard, let them do what they would with it. We candidly confess that wc see how convenient and expedient such a currency would be to those who would have it in their power to mould the “ circumstances ” to suit the “pliability,” or conversely to bend the “pliability” to suit the “circum stances.” They would indeed he Kings and Kurds. The Feudal Barons of the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, with all * their prerogatives of life ami death, and peace and war, might envy the posess .ors of such a power.—* St. Joseph Times. # Augusta, October IS, 1838.

The Augusta mail is now brought to this place behind a sulky, a inode of transporta tion vv Inch may suit the convenience of one individual, but which we understand is not according to contract. Moreover by the new arrangement, the former travelling accom modations are discontinued. The Athens mail occasionally comes—we pretend not to say how. We know, however, that a business Setter postmarked the PJtli at that place, reached us on tiie Still), being only one week travelling 41 miles, when the roads are good. We believe it was brought by the nfore-aid sulky. Perhaps we may next look fir letters and papers from Augusta, to reach this place via Athens. The last is not more improbable, than the first, was once thought to he. The “Arivs.” We me aliogetner disinclined to imitate the example of our eoteinpoiarv; this is suited neither to our taste, feelings, profession, nor habit. It may be allowable in him, to per sist in a course of alternately admitting and not admitting, of affirming and denying, of forgetting and recollecting, as may best ap ply to the exigencies of the case. He mav continue too in mi-taking shallow imperti nence fir caustic, ami in a sarcastic tone of seeming defiance, challenging his ad.ersary to prefer charges with specifications. It is sufficient for us to understand that vvliat wc have sta ed as correct, is known to be such, by almost every member in this community; it is conceived of little consequence whether the “News” is really ignorant, or only affects ignorance. We are not accountable for his lack of recollection, or perversion of the plain est language, nor do we pretend to he the keepers of his conscience. To endeavor to convince one, who according to his confession, never heard of a report, yet did hear of it; whose memory being refreshed, had some re collection of having heard it, but while not viewing ft as “slanderous” proffered to aid in ‘■'walloping" the author; and who on farther reflection, remembered not only to have heard, but himself to have spoken of it; to attempt totronvince such an one, would in deed be labor lost. Wc presume not an individual could be found (save the News,) w ho would for a mo ment believe that a Union man, would in stitute and circulate a calumnious report about a candidate of the same parly. We presume too, that whether or not the report adverted to, be considered “ trivial ” by the “News,” others viewed it in a different light; nor would it have been started but for the purpose of effecting an important object. Without un- I necessarily introducing the names of a num- . bet, or a host of witnesses, we can refer to nearly every male inhabitant of this village, »o prove the truth of our remarks concerning a? as 18 a srjrjii'r s^'x* its circulation. How fur successor failure in its object attended it, is certainly difficult to ascertain, and at present needless to inquiie. We shall not undertake tocure the* -News's of his disorder—the case is hopeless. We obtain the following information relaj, tive to the organization of anew Society N jn the land of steadyA habits, from the last Christian Statesman: XEYV SOCIETY. A society of an extraordinary charact er has just heeu founded til Boston, un derthea; pcllalioii of “The New-England Non-Resistance Society.” Its constitu tion, among other similar tilings, declares “that no one who professes to have tliespir it of Christ can consistently sue a man it law for redress of injuries, or thrust any evil doer into prison, orfillany oflice in which he would come under obligation to execute penal enactments, or take rny part in the military service, or acknowl edge allegiance to any hum,mi govern ment, or justify any man in fighting in defence of his property, liberty, life, or Religion,” &c. &c. Truly, Jack Cade is come again. would think .from this and other specimens which might be given, that a company of thieves, pick pockets, «Ye. had got together and fra med a constitution to protect themselves against the laws. The society, it is stated, consists of 122 men, and 42 women; total, 104. Os these men, 8 are marked as having with drawn, and the President elect ofthe So ciety, lion. S. Willard, could not "go it” through the primary meetings. The 164 members of the society were from Pennsylvania, and each of till the New- Englatid States, except Vermont, which, it seems, cannot give up Canada. Now, dear readers, who do you think was the master workman and eonst-.q 1 - tion drawer, in making tiiis society ? Who could it he hut the master spirit of immediate and unconditional Abolition, the peaceful and serene Mr. Garrison. But we cannot speak another word in ridicule. Alas! that this man should have suffered so much from the local laws of the country, for weeannot escape the impression that it lias unsettled a brain which at best was probably none too steady. The following extract from an edito-1 rial article in the South Carolinian of last Tuesday, throws some light upon the position assumed by several of the] State Rights Candidates elected to Con-* gross.— Constitutionalist. “In the Convention at Milledgeville, which nominated the State Rights can didates for Congress, we still made the Constitutional Treasury a test question, and voted for none Imt those whom we knew or fully believed to agree with us on it. After the nominations, Robert Dougherty, Esq. a member ol’tlie Legis lature (mm Troup, asked us if we voted for Alford, (ofsame county,) and, on our answering in the allirmaltve, if we knew he was a United States Bank man ? W e replied no, and could not believe it, having, from our knowledge of the man, and his thorough-going course iigaiiuu monopolies, even to Rail-road charters, unhesitatingly taken it for granted tlint he agreed with us ; and if lie did not, we begged him to tell him that we had been most egregiously mistaken in him, mid assuredly would m*t vote for him at the election. Mr. D. said we were entirely too honest; and we replied that that was a singular remark to come from one who was uniformly admitted to lie a rigidly honest politician. On meeting Col. Al ford afterwards, in Troup county, he de nied that he was a Bank man, and we were about to ask his opinion on the Constitutional Treasury system, when we were interrupted, and should have done so afterward, hut then we tonic ir for granted, from what we heard from others, during a long stay in the county, that he was in favor of it. Ju his pub lished letter, lie stated simply that lie was “not a Sub-Treasury man.” Col. Nis bet, who was generally understood, when nominated, to be in favor of a Constitu tional Treasury, has since declared n gainst it, but rather vaguely ; and Judge Colquitt, and Mr. Black, who were mem bers ofthe State Senate, we know to have been decidedly in favor of it, and ofthe Resolutions in its favor, submitted to that body by Col. Lawson. The latter voted for them, and was an ardent advocate; and the former, (who was absent when the vote was taken,) declared incidental ly, in debate, (on another question,) thal* they could not go too far for him. Yet, in their published letters, Judge C. slight ly objects to the specie clause, and Air. Black considerably to the “details” of the Independent Treasury bill. Col. T. B. King, too, declared to us, iu .Milledge ville, his approbation ofthe Constitution al Treasury system, and ofthe Resolu tions of Col. Lawson, (though lie after wards voted to lay them on the table, oa the ground that these were not .limes to act on them, as did many others;) yet, in his ptibh.-hed letter, lie declares kynself “decidedly opposed to the specie clause." We have believed Col. Alford, J fdge Culquitt, Col. King, vY Mr. Black, the most honest, independ ionsistent politicians in Geor gia, and thoroughly devoted to their prin ciples; and the last mentioned was one ofthe most urgent mid anxious of those who desired us again to become connect ed witli the Press, on account of our views on the Constitutional Treasury ■question. NY e have consequently been always a warm and zealous friend and advocate of them. But as Sir Peter Teazle says, “This is a d—d had world, Oliver, «&. the fewer we praise the better.” % From the Macon Telegraph. The lion.

( Oi Saturday week, an adjourned in- i qiir.'t was held at the Champion, Prin ces street, Lisson Grove, on the body of Joint M’Lellun, whose death occurred I fimi'er the following circumstances : The t jijryfirst proeeeded to view the body ol’j tile unfortunate mail, which presented | ijrjleclnele 100 horrible to describe, the ] fiee being one mass of sores from top to tie. From the depositions, it appeared tint the deceased was the driver of a cab ( arid horse, the property of Mr. YV. John- ; silt, a cab owner, nt the west end of the tek’it. On the evening of Friday week, d'ceused came home, and complained ft I. wth-g-a cold. lii: took some gruel, and went to bed. On the following day, large lumps or swellings began to make t ieir appearance under the jaw and on tie nose, which, as well as the eyes, eoitted a great deal of running. The e*es gradually become worse, anil full if holes, and the nose and jiw broke uit into dreadful sores. Medical aid ms called in, but the gentleman w ho at titadrd w.'is unable to tell the nature of t! e disease. On YV’cdnesday week deceased was ci nvcved in a cab to Sir Astley Cooper, iv m examined him, and pronounced it ts be the glanders caught from a horse. jLe deceased’s medical attendant suh- fell in with Ills opinion ; but all remedies were found of no avail. The unfortunate man gradually became worse and entirely insensible. In the space of two days bis nose fell from his face, and liis eyes became like a colander, both emitting a thick rnucoous running. He however, about a quarter of an hour be fore his death, which took place on Thursday evening, recovered bis senses, and stated that lie had got bis death by wiping the horse which was gbmdered with bis pocket handkerchief, and then incautiously using tiie same to wipe his nose. He expired in the most excrucia ting agony. The jury returned a ver dict “that the deceased died from glan ders, accidentally caught from a horse, j*i >4> liicli lie was the drived.” <*- A fact is stilted in late foreign papers which is no less honorable to the Irish people than it is gratifying to the feelings yl every philanthropist. It is said that the last Mouster Circuit, which includes the large comities of Cork, Clare, Lime rick, and Kerry, containing nearly two millions of inhabitants, terminated with out a single capital conviction. The ge nius of the British Criminal code forbids rfte supposition that this exemption from punishment is the result of any undue j lenity on the part ofthe judges or juries, j On the contrary, experience gives us j every reason to believe that bad criminal i acts existed they would have been visited by the law, which is not sparing of lie- j man life. The statement here made is particularly agreeable, inasmuch as the fact related must be regarded as (lie pre cursor of a betlei st*:e of things in Ire-| land than lias heretofore existed. Gen erous, brave, hospitable and kind heart- ; ed, the people of the Emerald Isle have rendered themselves too often liable to j punishment by yielding to impulse rath er than jyjeping themselves within the bounds marked out by prudence, and it affords ns gratification to record a cir- | cunistance so perilled v creditable to them, j Maria Monk. — From the New York \ Observer we learn that Maria has con- j fussed her imposture to a Protestant cler gyman of New York.

Oct 30 9 uls PROSPECTUS OF THE GFOEMsIA ARGFN. riiiiu siihicriher proposes in publish a S3 newspaper in tiie city of Columbus, under the title of “Tim Gkorgia A kg Us.” lii compliance with the usages of the coun try, it is perhaps necessary that he should give some indications ofthe course he will pursue. This shall be done in a few words. He vv i I advocate vvliat lie deems the doc trines n! the Constitution, an equality of rights mid privileges, nnil equality of burl liens—and nl the latter as lew as possible ; consequently, lie will oppose all monopolies and exclusive privileges, and all lavish am! wasteful expen ditures of public money. In relation to those measures of the Gene ral Government which seem now to he most prominently brought before the country, be is not now prepared to say that be will range bitnselt any banner. IJeliev mg a Na tional Bank of any diameter would be the greatest evil ilia! could be inflicted upon the country, his opposition to it will be iincmn promising. Holding, upon the great and ob vious piinciple that pervades all the works of nature, that the simplest mode ol"doing uny thing is always the best, and believing that a plan may he adopted tbr the management nl the Government money which will be more simple than a Hindi or the Bub Treasury •Scheme, and which will elled all the good that is claimed by the advocates of a Rank and the Sub-Treasury, hecannol for the pre sent advocate the latter upon its merits. Ife tvveen the Hull-Treasury, liovvevet, as ho understands it nt present, and a National Hank, he would have no hesitation iu making a choice. Other .schemes are in the power of the people, and may be altered or abandoned at pleasure; but a Hank mice established is fix ed upon the country, at least lor the length ol time lor w hich it is chartered. It is get ting now to he a settled dor trine in ibis coun j ! ry llial the vested rights of Corporations are /the only tilings which are above the power nl legislation; the constitution of the country may he treated as ii dead letter—individual rights may be violated and trampled under fool, bm ibe vested righlsof a corporation are sa( red and inviolable. Upon t fie subject ol Internal Improvements which now exene-much mnmtiuii and inte-' re.-i in ibis Slate, tic liasimlv lo sav lion he will advocate their construetimi by tl e State and at public expense, vv h* re lie believes they will lie oonilut ive of good In the Coun try coinmcnsiiraie with the expense of their constrin lion ; ami any where else bv individ ual ciiterpihe, if individuals clmie-'e to do ii. upon their own resources, and upon tlivfr o.vn responsibility; but lie will oppose all connections between indiv irJualsand th© State for the purposes of speculation upon rail road or banking stocks, as destructive of the rights arid dangerous to the liberties of the people, partir ularly w here llie profits, if made, go to individuals, ami the Ims, if sustained, must be sustained by die Slate. Many other subjects which do nor now oc cur lo him. may be made the subject of dis cussion. Upon all such he will advnrate whin he believes to be right, and appose what shall appear to him wrong. Claiming tlie right ol thinking for himself, andof acting up on his own convictions, he will quarrel with none for differing with him in opinion ; if he shall not he able lo convince litem bv argu ment of the error of rlieir wavs, lie must leave them lo pursue their own rotnse.
