■J j f V- v «• t • SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN. Tuesday Evening, September 10, 1816. The honorable Thomas U. P.Chauot, was, yesterday, re-elected Mayor of this City, j We shall once more, and it (may probably be the last time, submit a few remarks on the subject of the ap proaching concessional election. We have no section- al feelings incompatible with Tie general interests of the state, and sincerely wish to see (the true principles of re publican simplicity and probity pervade every part of it, untinctured bv that unnatural and impolitic jealousy, which discrimiriates in its views betweeh the divisions of .^e West and the East. We are,' surely, but one people _one family of fellow-ci iz< ns, all aiming at the attain- samc circumstances, mcnt of the same objects—(at least it is to be presumed so,) the good of the state, its welfare and prosperity, if these, then, are the objects of us all if it is denied, that western influence watches with a jealous and susj iciou s eye, the growing importance of this division of the state, why should the west hesitate a moment in giving to this division its just, legitimate, and appropriate weig ht in the national representation? We have had every reason to sup pose, that the determination of the up-country but a shor, time back, was to send to congress an entire new represen tation without consulting the wishes of this district; consi dering. no doubt, that as the numericalfo. ee was against it, population ought alone to govern. In a republic we ad mit, tliat population ought to be the basis of represen tation—that is to say, one section or district having a greater number of citizens than another, is fairly entitled to a larger number of representatives than the other dis trict or sect.on. In admitting this, we think it right and .fair; that the western parts of the state should out weigh this district in t!te scale of representation: But we cannot admit, and we hope no patriot or intelligent citizen will, that because the West has the pi lysical strength—the force of numbers and population, ihat this division great and Important as it is, ought to be represented by western members. It is absurd and preposterous to believe, that a citizen permanently resident in the west, and possessed only ofgeneral and imperfect views as it relates to this district, can understand Pits local interests, or those in terests, as they bear upon the western population. If these interests are not Well understood, it results that this district will be unrepresented, for, it must be unrepresented, if the same solicitude is not felt for its aggraTtCazenient as for any other section of the state.— Can that solicitude be felt by men who are ignorant of the means and habits of cur people, and who are not suf. ficlently acquainted with the resources which give not only imp ortunce to this district, but vitally and essen tially promote the prosperity of die West? We are induc ed to believe, that this kind of general reasoning has had its proper weight of influence among the disinterested patriots of the West; and, indeed among all men who lire anxious for the high-standing, honor, and welfare ol Georgia. Such men governed by thehone3t suggestions ' CORRESPONDENCE. “Tint VbxTncrzEm** is received, an interview with the author is required. ... '■*he communication left on the Editors desk, this morning, shall be published, witij pleasure, provided the authar wilL'njafce-iitrfiself known to the Editor. The Moor’s communication, on the subject of the finances of the city, shall have a place in our next The effective interference in behalf of our feljow-citi- zens who were seized by the Spaniards on the Spanish Maine, is an honorable trait in the conduct of the go vernment; and the decision and dignity with which Al. giers and the oilier Barbarian powers, on the African coast, were brought to respect our flag, while it immor talizes the gallant Decatur, reflects upon the government under which he acted a lustre, that is the more brilliant from the contrast which its tlfcct and celerity presents to the pusilanimous movements of the Dutch fleet, and the humiliating conduct of the. British navy in the very ■Aurora. Mr. Cathcart, the American consul at Cadiz, has done honor to himself and his cqumiy, by the promptitude witii whicli he interposed f r the liberation of Air. -Meade; whose imprisonment appears to have been brought about by a most vjllanous train of corruption, by English intriguers in Spain.—ib. As. G. W. Erving, esq. the American minister, bad ar rived at Madrid, on the 12th of June, we may hope to hear that Richard Meade, esq. will, by his timely interpo sition, have been rescued from his tyrannical imprison- ment .—ib. The promptitude with which young Mr. Duplessis, was rescued from the tyranny of the chief of Hayti, does great credit to the public administration, we eoilld wish to have it in our pq wer to pay this tribute of justice more frequently.—ib. The business of emigration is so great, that it threatens to introduce a new era in the manners of mankind.— Every family, like that of Abraham, will take a view at its settlement of the habitable globe to find the place where the (avvs are most mud, the economy of govern ment is best observed, and the habits most congenial.— Population will be like the market, where lee is of most value, most safe, and most prolonged. It will then be indispensable for good governors, not barely to contem plate tile lingering death of state constitutions, but the immediate choice of their subjects, and the" majority will learn to respect the minority, which whenever oppress ed will instantly withdraw. We shall then manage our legislative as we do our commercial regulations.-—iEssex Register. The Norfolk Ledger, a federal paper in disapproving of caucus nominations, observes, in relation to Messrs. Monroe and Tompkins, “that it. is very probable tliat bet ter selections would not hav.e been made if there had been no nomination by the caucus.” This opinion ap pears generally to prevail, for we have no instance on re cord where the election of president and vice president lias met, and will meet, with so little opposition, except in the case of general Washing ton. It is highly creditable to the character and talents of both gentlemen, tuat, among so many valuable citizens whose experience and public services merit, and no doubt, wilt receive, the best proofs of confidence which the nation can give, thit they are selected with the consent anel best wishes of the people, and w ill, no doubt, enter into the duties of tiieir respeedve s ations under the most favorable auspices.— -Yauoual -hlvucu. t. po2t of savannah, Tuesday, September 10,1816.

Our olde t* inhabitants cannot remember, that the Schuylkill lias ever been so low as at present—it may be crossed on foot at the fans, without wetting’ the feet. The meadows in the vicinity of the city, are perfectly dry nd, unless speedily relieved from their parching state, beast; but man, must' suff er from the long ab- . . ... ; not only of their hearts, must necessarily despise the. intrigues of gence of rain attiiis season of the year.—P/uladelphiupa fattiunists, who under clamorous professions of zeal for the public, conceal the deepest laid schemes of person al aggrandizement. These schemes can only be frustrat ed by electing citizens of tried talents and patriotism— who have Ao connection with that aspiring, ambitious, and unprincipled little party, which the firmness of Jackson and his associates put down, and which would now endeavor to raise itself up upon the ruins'of the best patriotism and virtue of the state.— The Compensation Bill (a measure yve detest) is convert, ed into a wedge to split and divide the great body of the people into parties hostile to that unanimity yvliich, since the subversion of federalism and the detection of Yazoo iniquity, has distinguished die public measures, and the public men of this state. Let us take care that this weapon is not wielded by men, who possess no other means of stealing the public confidence. Let us not abandon menvwho have been guilty of one sin, to elevate others who have a thousand to answer for. Be the western opinion on this subject, however, whatit-tnav, we still contend, that it offers no fair argument against giving this district a representative- We again say tliat this representative ought to be Otilo- nel CcTHsnjtT, because he carries with him the best wish es of the Eastern Citizens, and because he is better seqv tainted with, eastern interests than any member can be fr om the west. With western politics we will never inter fere, and wish success to the members whom a ma. jorit; r of the up-country may have designated: All that is ask ed in return is the exercise of a similar liberality to ward: » this division of the State. per. Traveller from the westward say, it is currently re ported and believed in the Mississippi Territory, that the South American revolutionists in.ve captured, and are now in possession of Pensacola.—JVLiiedgeville Journal. The Weather, during the Spring and Summer, has been, perhaps, as extraordinary in Europe, as in America. In both quarters of the Globe, the Spring was unusually cold and vegitation unusually retarded. But while a long and severe drought has prevaded every part of our country, almost the yvhole of Europe has been drenched with se vere and continued rains.—J\i'ew Pork Commercial Adver tiser. New York, August 30. Captain Destebecho, of the ship United States, which arrived yesterday, in 41 day s from Havre de Grace, has furnished the editors of the Mercantile Advertiser with a tile of French papers to the 14tfi of J uiy.

Colonel Hawkins, agent of thq commissioners, appoint ed on the part of our government, for settling the boun dary’ line between the United States and Canada, arrived at this place on Thursday' last.

Freemen oj Georgia! do not withhold your votes from AiFKED Cuthbert, -on the first Monday, in October next. We are excited to laughter and indignation; when we read in the columns of the profligate Federal Republican, expressions of fear for the prosperity of our republ ican institutions, it makes us smile to think that those affected expressions flowefrom a rank monarchist, who, most undoubtedly wishes republicanism, and every tiling connected with it, to.the uttermost ends of the earth.

The fright has had an effect upon liis mind, long become feeble and tainted, perhaps with hereditary insanity., What a sight is here for a people like the English to behold! How ashamed must every roan of sense and spirit feel at this sight! What a warning for the peophjjif. America! Surely these things cannot long be tolerafijgf This man expends, on him self and his immediate txteociaies, more every week than the President of the United States is allowed for a year. His stay-maker and milliner receive more out of the Eng lish taxes than Mr. Madison receives out of those of Ame rica. And yet, the Cossacks of New England said, that they would prefer the English government, monarchy and all. Really, if they should still be of the same-opinion, and will but just move over to Nova Scotia, or go up to Ncw-Brunswick, I do not know but we might consent to their haring some of the hopeful race to reign over them.
