AUGUSTA.
MONDAY, DEC. 24, »327-
fmate rival* to the same race for office
and honors—when those, who have little
else to recommend them but the loudness
of their vociferations in the contests of the
political arena, shall find that the firmness
and good sense of Gen. Jackson have
overlooked their noisy pretensions, is it
unreasonable or uncharitable to suppose
that they will join any other pack, that
may be running riot, and yelp as loudly
on the new scent as they did on 'hat,
which they had just quit in disappoint
ment ?
We have always found more fault with
the friends of Gen. Jackson, than we have
done with himself. We like not he mot
ley mixture, which gives such parti-color
ed hues to their political vestments.—
Bound together by no great national ob
ject—by no uniform attachment to any
particular policy-by no common interpre
tation of the constitution or its fundament
al principles, what uniform course would
they pursue in the administration of the
general government ? What leading poli
cy would unite such discordant views.—
Evei) state, county and city ever) Q n what measures could their principles

telling the world on all propr., occasions , gr j. j nterest and promoting the
v'ho they are for. nr «» tnr AHams. i °
The River is still rather low for safe
boatiDg.
Wa> respectfully suggest to the City
Council, the propriety of examining into
the state of the Grave Yard. There.*
somethingdeficie.it in the manner of bu
rial, the depth of the grave, the soil, or
something else. It is at present very of
fensive. Memory carefully treasures up
rhe^-Vemembrance of these whom we have
Jo-posited in their last silent resting place,
and on visiting their lonely abodes to
freshen the sacred recollection, it is pain
ful to have such appeals made to our ex
ternal senses. It is not uncommon to see
the most disgusting of the feathered race
brooding in flocks over the tombs, and
snuffing the tainted air which rises from
the decaying bodies of our friends.
Some are for Adams,
some for Jackson. Now, we must not be
behind hand in this world, lest we be for
gotten ; therefore be it known unto all
whom it concerneth, that we gentle folks
here in Augusta, are fur ourselves.
Divine Service was performed, for the
first time, in the New Unitarian Church,
on yesterday. We learn it will be dedi
cated this week.
The Legislative Convention met at
Richmond on the 15tb, to forma Ticket
favorable to the election of Gen. Andrew
Jackson ; but without doing any thing,
adjourned till the 14th of January. There
was some (> discussion about the period of
re-assembling. Most of the delegates
wished it postponed until after the 8th,
the period appointed for the Adams Con
vention at the same place. It seems tney
wanted the last word; or as some of
the members expressed it, wished the
antidote to be applied to the poison, as
>oon after infection as possible. We
should be pleased to see the infection here
alluded to, spreading far and wide. We
believe the gieat interests of our country
would escape unhurt; but there is some
danger of the antidote becoming worse
than tfie poisan—the remedy worse than
the disease. Its administration always
appeared to ns to be rather empirical, and
anti if it should continue so, as it likely
will, we should not be surprised to find
both Doctor and Patient suffering under
its baneful effects.
We should have had much less objec
tion to the election of General Jackson at
the last term, than we feel at present.—
He would then have come into office un
shackled, and with a reputation over
which slander had as yet, scarcely breath
ed her cankering breath. He would also
have more readily called around him the
thlents and experience of the country, and
nould have met with scarcely the name of
opposition, unless indeed,it had been offer
ed from the same hands which now support
him. All the country, seeing in his coun
sels the first men in the nation, whose ta
lents had been ripened into usefulness by
long experience, would have rendered to
his administration that confidence and ap
plause, which we have bo doubt it would
have deserved. At the head of his cabi
net would have been Mr. Adams, whom
his bitterest enemies allow to have filled
the office of Secretary of State, with un
rivalled ability. In the other departments,
there would probably have been no alter
ation in the appointments by Mr. Monroe,
The elections held by the Legislature
on Monday night last, resulted as follows :
Elias Beall, of Monroe county to be
Major General of the 8th Division, Geo.
Militia.
Peter J. Williams, re-elected to be
Principal Keeperofthe Penitentiary.
Edward Caret, John Bozeman and
Thomas H. Kenan, re-elected Inspec
tors.— Ibid.

row, (Chiis.mas) morning, at half past 10o’ clock
in the Unitarian Church.
glory of our common country 1
We have before called Dublic attention
to the Rail Road and Canal, which is
contemplated to connect this City and
Charleston, S. C. The Legislature of
that State, last week, passed a law grant
ing to a Company the necessary power
for such purpose. We publish a hill in
which its principal features are presented.
We have repeatedly expressed our belief,
that the interests of Augusta and Ham
burg, which, commercially considered,
constitute but one city, would be greatlv
promoted by the construction of a safe,
cheap, and expeditious method of commu
nication with Charlerton, and whatever
may be the future result if our specula
tions on this subject, we have onlv the
public good in view, and find our opinions
corroborated by a similar belief among
those who may be better qualfied to judge.
We may have magnified the injury which
it is likely to produce to Savannah ; but
the expression of that belief did not flow
from any hostility to her interests ; but
rather from a hope that some measures
would be adopted by the Legislature to
guard and protect them. We extract an
article headed Canals, &c. from the Sa
vannah Georgian, which shows that if Sa
vannah is likely to be injured by opera
tions in the east, she may be benefitted
four-fold in the west, by the line of com
munication between Savannah and the
Gulph of Mexico, to be effected in the
manner described in the article alluded to.
It is at present expected that the Rail
Road from Charleston will terminate in
Hamburg, whose destinies it will brighten
to their noon-tide splendor. But the
great interests which it is intended to se
cure to Charleston, are those over which
Augusta has the decisive controul.
If our views are well founded, and if
the interests of Georgia and South-Caro-
liita are mutual and inseparable, we should
be glad to see some cencert in the move
ments of the two States on so important a
subject. If a Canal should be deemed,
after the necessary surveys, the most eli
gible mode of communication, Georgia
having exclusive jurisdiction over tlie riv
er, might throw insuperable obstacles in
the way of its completion. The naviga
tion of the river is bad enough already,
and the divers on of any of its water to
feed a Canal, .'Ould only leave its Chan-
iel more naked. Horse Creek would
haicily afford oe requisite quantity oi wa-
ter. From he nature of the soil through
which i; has to be dug, nut being well
O’ By Divine Permission, the Dedication of
the Unitarian Church will take place Thursdav
morning at 11 o’clock. The Rev. Mr. Gilman
is expected to preach the Sermon.
DIED.
On Friday last, in this eity, Cnl. THOMAS F.
WELLS, late Attorney General of Georgia.
In Washington County. Geo on the 29th No
vember last. Capt. CATO RIDDLE, aged 76
years. He was born in Virginia, but in his child
hood his parents removed to Chatham County,
N. C. where he lived about fifty years, previous
to his removal to Georgia. Capt. R. was an ear
ly advocate of American Independence, and
throughout our Revolutionary struggle, was ac- |
tively engaged in promoting its success. The !
neighborhood where he resided during the war, j
was infested with tories, with whom Capt. R. and ;
his associates often came in contact ; the anec- j
dotes ofhim. familiar in that neighborhood, would i
do honor to the days of Spartan valor. Upwards j
of twenty years ago Capt. R attached himself to
the Baptist Church, and died resigned to the will
of his Creator, and in the confident hope of a
blessed immortality. “Peace be unto him.”

unless protracted ill health had render- | adapted io Canals, a is most likely that a
ed a new incumbent necessary for the
Treasury. But what will be the result o
his success against.Mr. Adams at the next
election ? It is probable an entire new
set of.officers will be appointed in the
different departments, with the exception
of the General Post Office. We do not
believe the policy of the country will be
changed ; but inexperience, we presume,
will be liable to the same casualties aDd
blunders, as in all other departments of
life. It is to be feared also, that he would
find from his old opponents an opposition
y^en more embarrassing than that which,
since Mr. Adams’ election, has paralized
:he energy of salutary measures, and
cramped the operations of the government
both at home and abroad. Besides, is it
probable that the heterogeneous combina
tion of all parties and principles, which
now so vociferously and inconsistently
support his claims to the Presidency, will
continue united in the same course ?—
When the cement which binds its discord
ant materials together shall be weakened,
as it will be by the results of appointments
to office, it wiil fall to pieces like a heap
of sand. When tbe present leaders of
opposition, whom a common hope impels
to the same gaol, shall have found those
