TO THE STATE RIGHTS PARTY OF
GEORGIA.
Next .Monday', the 4th of January, is the day
appointed to elect a member of Congress to sup
ply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Mr. Colquitt. We regard appeal* to our party
as almost unnecessary* Wo have been emphat
ically wide awake miring tlie late canvass. Our
eye* have been fully opened to the importance of
n change in our national council*. Wo have
turned out with spirit nud determination to take
purl in the contest. Wd huve disregarded the
insane cry raised against the brave Hxniusns of
abolitionism, a cry which parly presses still keep
up. We huve laughed at the old,worn out,thread
bare sophistries invented for twelve years past
iu the Globe office at Washington, we havo cast
about seriously and resolutely, determined to cor
rect evils which wo knew to exist and we have
carried our point so fir. But it has been only by
dim of courage and perseverance and hard work
that we have routed the Macedonian Phalanx of
otlice holders. Their barriers aud defences have
been overthrown aud we are fairly behind their
intrcnchmcnts—a id there we intend to stay for
year* to come, maugre tlie wry faces and rabid
discontent of our opponents.' It is necessarily
unpleasant for those who cainc into office twelve
years ago on “ rotation in qfice system" to bo re
volved tint. It i* a sad tiling for those who have
enjoyed tho.
'• Soul's calm sunshine nnd the heartfelt joy”
of being in a majority for so long n time to be
compelled to wauderlika ghosts on the dreary
shores of the opposition—far away from the
'• glimpses of cheerful day," which emanate from
the palace.
But these things cannot be helped. We are a
part of God's creation, and huve arisen to re
dress real grievances.
Up then und try it again. We have a good
man and true, Htsrr.s ilotT, Esq., of Muscogee,
for our candidate, (they cal! him Col. IIor.T iu
the up country, where every body has a military
title) Let ns scud him’to Congress to help
cleanse the Augean Stable. Wo cannot carry
out our reform* unless we have a majority iu
both Houses of Congrcsv.
ooDBtmr*
hook* can ho balanced unless ho ftpeii* n “ pnjfit
and lose account," charging to it tho excess of
debt* o* or erodits. Tho truth is, thht tho Ad
ministration hook* havo not keen written up-for
a long timo past, hut tho posting is now going
on, nnd nbnlnnco *iieot will bo in readiness for
tho public inspection, wo trust, on tho 4th of
March next.
•" Siiurn caique trihuito" is tlio motto. Let Mr.
Woniimmv make (lie best shewing ho can, hula
plain honest exhibit ho must make. Tho Fedor-
til Party now iu power, propose fo pay off tlmir
debt* by anticipating tho ru\eimn of 1841, and is
suing promises to pay after the fillt Match next.
But It will hu NO GO. Let every otto have iiis
just reward—that is lira Whig motto. Tho truth is
(lie Whigs do nut believe that tho accounts havo
been honestly kept for twelve years past. They
think that if they had been, the sundry attempts
which huve been undo nt scrutiny by them
would not have been repressed. Repeated
movements were mmlo in Congress last winter
to investigate tlie affairs of tho Treasury, to as
certain the exact amount of Treasury Notes mil!
but they wero all crushed m the very inception.
Ouo motion to this effect was made by a Repre
sentative front Georgia,which was voted down on
the instant.
It is not impossible that some of tho strong sus
picions which pervade tlie whole ccuntiy on
this sdbjcct may be iiqjust. If no, it is proper
that the Federalist*'should make tlieir own un
varnished statement, and have n fair hearing.—
Let them have strict justice. If they leavo the
country in debt let it he kuowu. If they leave n
eurplu* for their* successors in the Treasury, let
it be known. Give them justice, snywe, at all
hazzards.
As for the Lion oftho Hermitage, ho will roar
when he hears how things havo gone on. lie
will die, however, without being aware that the
extravagant system was began under his own
eyes. His inordinate self-esteem which has scut
down its deep roots into tlie rich and rank soil of
sycophancy aud adulation, will blind his visiqn
and protccthim from a careful and painful self-
examination.

Mr. Jandoii, who is returned from America in
tho President steamer, Im* published an account
of tho orrcsU and liabilities nf tho United States
Bank of Philadelphia made un to the 1st Oct. last,
showings surplus of 3,000,000 dollars. But wo
ore sorry lo pereeivo tlin! this document i-t falla
cious, and calculated to mislead rather tl.au to
enlighten the shareholders and tho public on tho
real condition of the Bank. In tlie account pub-
lishcd, the biHsdiscoiintcd and tlie Stock Accounts
ell nre estimated nw attests for their full amount,
without any allowance for depreciation in price
nf Stocks, or for bad or doubtful debts on the bills
discounted, lhi* last item mnst lie very con
siderable, if we take it in the same ratio with tho
claim* of the lute Anglo-American firms upon
debtors in America; wo should ssv 3/j per cent,
on the total *mn of 24 millions of dolLrs was a
moderate allowance for contingencies on these
bills, many of which are known to lie renewals.
The deprecietion on eunal and railway risares nfid
other securities constituting the stock account,
for thirty million* of dollars, must oho ho lurge.
We regret to see this document presented to the
public io *o iuipertectH form, nlter-the length of
time employed in preparing it, and after we ware
promised a fair and honest statement nf the uctn
al condition of that institution. H will convey

ation of the Hank is too bad to publish to the

A "bslancc-rbeet” of the hfikirfl of'the "United

what arc termed ''aRiests" ,tlu: greater part arc of
very doubtful value, and to include under that
head the value of vlvfc uinspired term oTtho char
ter is nn absurdity. Avery different account
must lift prepared before tlm deputation from
Remarkable Bill attempted to nE intro
duced into the U. S. Senate.—Thomas II.
Benton, Senator from Missouri, lately asked
leave to introduce into the Senate n Bill to lay n
tax on bank notes and other paper money used
for circulation iu the Steins tnd Territories. Mr.
Huntington said that no sndi bill could originate
in the Senate. Mr. Clay oT Alabama, thought
that Congress had no right to pass n bill of this
nature. Mr. Webster coptpndcd that mo/e re
spect ought to be had for tleConstitution than to
entertain such a lull in tho Senate. On the mo
tion to,rcceivc the bill the yens and nay* were as
follows:
Vcas—Messrs. Allen, At^hrsnn, Benton, Cal

Bo the hill was rejected, tfltr which Mr, Ben
ton withdrew his motion tojniroduce tin; bill.
Wc do not hesitate to suy.t^at this is the most
remarkable bill which we Inrijhcard of for years
past.* A hill a* clearly unconstitutional ns it
would he to tax any one State!'or the benefit of
the. rest. A bill so odious, so unconstitutional,ho
partial, that no plan could bo'Revised more di
rcctly aiming uttho integrity oflho State Govern
ment than this. Our readers can have a foretaste
from the Aspect of this bill of vvlmt would trails*
pire, if Mr. JJentoii, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Van
Huron, were suffered to^enrry out.their Sub-
Treasury doctrines inextensa,
And this attack conic* from those who have the
CoMtitution eternally on their lips,who nreeter-
nnlly prating about tile great power oftho General
Government and the sacred rights of the people.
It i« surprising that Buch nbonpnnlioni can be
boinc with. It is fearful that under the masked
battery of a pretended regard for tho Constitu
tion aud Laws, tttch monstrous inroads can be
mnuc upon tho citadel of our liberties.
The States most certainly cun tnx these crea
tures of their own, and it looks like n strong in
vasion of the right* of tlio Btntos lor Congress to
tax then. c!*n. We regard ths proposition n*
being of a higher Federal character than any
thing wo havo heard nflatoly. Tho rankest Fed
eralist# of the old school would open their eyes at
it. But it is ail done liy tlio Democrats—so there
is no ffinr. Ho we go.
Wc call the attention of our renders to the fact
that Messrs. Benton, Wright, Wall, Calhoun,
Ac- voted together on tliis subject. Heaven
preserve the country from demagogue ism.
Penmanshit.—The notion that a good hand
writing is not n desirable acquisition, has cost
many who have adopted it, more thnn they would
care to acknowledge. Tho lawyer who writes
illegibly, has lost the making of conveyances
which he had ample skill to draft; nnd many
clerks,of good business capacity,havo failed to se
cure employmentou account of (heir deficiency
iu this particular. It may be sot down as a
small thing, hut lifo is made up of smnll things ^
and a proper attention to these details is requisite
lo tho attainment of great objects. . Let all had
writer* look at Mr. Aiken’ advertisement, which
enay he found in this day’s paper. *
03* The Norfolk Beacon of the 2J>th inst. say#;

A CHAPTER ON PERIPATETIC SMO
KERS.
Many persons smoke segars whiln walking the
streets; now, independent of conventional it-
sago on the subject, this is u)| wrong. To en
joy a segnr properly—tho stnokershntild not even
lie in the erect position. The effect that the nar
cotic weed produce's upon the physical ns well
as the mental powers is one of repose, or reverie
m one and repose in the other. To ono who hnB
reflected upon this all important subject, a street
smoker presents quito as hidicrious an appear
ance as the urchin who, when his horse ran away
commenced repeating the nursery prayer: "now
I lay me down to sleep, I pray tho Lord my soul
to keep, and if I should die before I wake, I prny
the Lord my soul to take."
If wo did not feel too ranch real rovcrcnco Tor
this good old prayer, wc would trurestic it and
put it into the mouth ofa peripatetic smoker, hut
if wo have produced the ludicrous impression
before the mind’s eye,our purpose has been suf
ficiently answered.
A man might ns well sloop on his bend, or lie
down on his knees nnd elbows, or walk-on his
hands, ns to Hinokc in tho erect position. Tho
muscular frame is first put into vigorous action
and then invited *o tho most luxurious nnd sedu
cing repose. This, to say tho least of it. is tan
talizing the physical frame; hut tffn mischiefdoo*
not stop here. If only tho body performed these
curious antics, then the mind might ho supposed
to enjoy the fun nt its expense, hut tho spirit i*
equally tantalized with its rougher easement.
The mind, however, suffers the most in this
ridiculous encounter, for while the animal i*
waking itself up, stumbling over stock* nnd
atones, the caul i* making a wul attempt to com
pare itself into a delicious rqverie, into the spirit
of which, soft and dulcet coundt such ns the hum
ming of bees and thu sighing of vernal breeze*,
emer Inrgcly nnd which with the odonr of deli-
cion* fruit* and flowers are made to turn soui-
morsels with boisterous street along whang—rat
ling of wheels—yella of draymen—song* of ate-
vedoen and the roar of tlio steamera. Why I it i«
enough to drive a real philosophical amoket—
one capable of appreciating the delicious weed
-rraving mod. Imagine to ylfuselfgentlo reader
anch a one invited to take a iiogur mid promenade
along one of our omninon thoroughfares ? It
would ho equally ns polite nnd quite ns rational
to stand him on his bend nnd nsk him to swallow
n glass of wine, for in the latter case ho would
only havo to- - .vnllow ngainsf the centre of gravi
ty, while in the. other lio is invited to dream ns
ns 1io walk® along. In tho ono cauo natural law
Wo find in Dickens' lum work, tlie.*' Ok! Un-
riosity Shop,’’ tho following slv hit at tho law
yers :—" A* Doctor* seldom take tlmir own pro
scriptions, and Divines do not always practice
what they preach, so lawyers aro shy of med
dling with the law on their own account, know
ing it to bo an edged tool of uncertain applica
tion, very exncnsivo in the working, nnd rather
remarkable for its properties of close shaving,
than for its always shaving tho right person."
Netcspapcrs.—M. do Tocqtiovillo. in his “De
mocracy of America,” makes mo of tho follow
ing fotciblc expression in reference to the impor
tance ol newspapers:
• "A newspaper can drop the some thought in-,
ton thousand minds nt tlm same moment. A
newspaper is nn adviser who does not require to
he sought, hut who comes to you of his own ac
cord,nnd talks lo'you briefly every day of the com
mon weal,-without distracting your private af
fairs. Newspapers, therefore, become more ne
cessary in proportion ns men become more equal,
nud individuals more to ho feared. To suppose
that they only servo to protect freedom would ho
lo diminish their importance: they maintain ci
vilization."
Infatuation.—A physician in Albany Buys:—
“ We rend last week a lienrt'sir.keniiig account
of the. decease of a fine and amiable young lady,
who fell a victim to fashion—hIip laced herself Jo
death! Apart from the prevailing infatuation
which leads female* to commit elegant and refined
suicide, she is said to have been un uncommonly
! intelligent nud promising girl. The body pre
sented s drrsdf::! sight. Tho rib* \% ere contract

nnd the shoulder blades were nctunlly/«/>/«*/ over
each other! The chest was, of course, extremely
narrow, and not half the natural room was left
for the action of the henrtnud the inspiration of
air into tho lungs. The consequent* was death!"
