J'lio Augusta Constitutionalist has called

and concerted action, to move on to happiness

knows be could have done with a word, be
fore tiie time arrived when they would be
forced off, by the power of the Government;
,,h1 for this the Constitutionalist arraigns Mr.
Dawson, pretending to believe, that an expres
sion of his speech would lead to the inference
that lie had been advising with Ross, in refer
ee to the late foolish and mischievous pro
positions of the Government. We must con
fess, that we were not prepared for such wan
ton injustice, such gratuitous injury, as is ex
hibited in this attack on our Representative,
even by all our experience of the unscrupu-
loiisticss of party prejudice, or party rancor.—
h is not our intention to attempt to defend
Mr. Dawson; such nil attempt we should
deem an injury and an insult. There is not
die slightest grounds for such an insinuation.
Mr, Dawson expresses in the very speech
from which the insinuation purports to be de
rived, his utter surprize and astonishment and
indignation, at the course pursued by the Go
vernment. It is withal a novel idea of the
Constitutionalist, indeed, that Mr. Dawson
should bo at this day the confidential adviser
and coadjutor of the present, Lroken-wind-
ed Administration. If he was its opposer
when it was vigorous and influential, it is not
very likely, we think, that he lias become its
friend and co-operator, m its present deplor
ably spavined and string-halt condition.
The following account of Mr. Dawson’s po
sition, given bv an eye witness, places this
gentleman in bis true bgbt; and we would
recommend it to the serious consideration of
our cotemporary. We must, at the same
time, express our regret that this reckless and
most injurious insinuation should have pro
ceeded from the Constitutionalist. We should
have infinitely preferred it to have come from
any of its political associates.

Washington, June 1, 1S3S.
Dear Sir :—Our friend Dawson, yesterday
made a speech on the Cherokee treaty, of
which liis friends and the State of Georgia
may well be proud. 1 have rarely enjoyed a
greater pleasure than it afforded me. It was
a thorough, able and eloquent vindication of
the coarse of Georgia towards the Indians,
imd 1 have no doubt has put to rest forever the
unjust clamor against the State. An old and
distinguished member of the House told me,
that lie had heard and read all the speeches
on the subject, but that there had been none
as able vindications of the State. The tone,
manner, and spirit, v/eTe just such as the honor
of the State demanded. There were in the
gallery two distinguished Georgians, of dif
ferent politics, who were both delighted : no
man could lie otherwise who- regarded the
honor and character of his State. I will not
say half what this manly and able effort de
serves, least I may be suspected of falling into
the vice of the times—newspaper puffing. 1
" ill only add that 1 do not believe that any
Georgian, who comes here and sees the posi
tion that Dawson occupies, will be like to vote
against him when he goes hence.

At this time we can scarcely be said to have a

is a question whether the native Georgians or
tho North or South Carolinians, aro more nu

there should he his home. This, it is pre
sumed, is the motto of all. Then we are all
Georgians, and the compounded character will
be of the intelligent, hightoned perseverance
of the Virginian, the manly economical plain
ness of the North Carolinian, the patriotic
chivalry of tho South Carolinian, and the
firm independence of the Georgian. We ore

we are to form our character and establish our

April 14th, 1836, which forbids their being
paid out to any creditor of the United States.
Though smaller notes offered for duties could
from the nearness of banks in most seaports,
be taken, and easily exchanged before making
payments, yet, from the remoteness of mauy
land offices from banks, this could not be ef
fected there without much delay and expense;
and as uniformity is now required, the provi

in respect to payments. These requirements
can, in the opinion of the Department, be en
forced with greater certainty, and unnecessary
risk and loss more surely avoided, by confining
the receipt, as has been tho usage at some

The climate of the fourth region, which is
that above the cotton growing country, is as
fine and healthy as any in the world-some
say the finest, as uniting the genial warmth of
the South with all the elasticity of the North.
The soil here does not make generally that re
turn which spurs on to persevering industry,
hence its inhabitants are less enterprising and
industrious than their neighbors of the cotton
region. The country is however new and
poor, as it advances, it will no doubt supply
the lower regions with flour and meats and
some manufactures; already it has in a state
of embryo, its foundaries, potteries and cot
ton manufactories. They too border on the
great West, which, if Georgia is true to her
self, is to add to her inherent advantages and
importance, incalculable wealth and influence.
This requires no elucidation—he who runs
can read. To supply the wants and to carry
to market the productions of so vast and rich
a country as the West, must necessarily en

The Louisville (Kv.) Journal, thus notices
the unhappy career and miserable death of
Amos Kendall’s paper, the Frankfort Argus:
“There is no longer a Van Buren paper at
the capital of Kentucky. The Frankfort Ar
gus has groaned and kicked and died. It
lived a miserable life, and died a miserable
death.”
We learn from the Voice of Sumpter, that
on the night previous to tho time of holding the
spring term of the Circuit Court of Lauder
dale county, Mississippi, the court-house was
burnt down. When the Judge arrived and
determined to hold the court in some other
building, the sheriff resigned. The duties de
volving on the Coroner, he too resigned, and
the judge was completely defeated in tho at
tempt to hold a court. It is said that a very
largo number of suits bad been commenced
in that county.—Ala. State Intel. 4th inst.
Tho trial of John Wilson, who it may be
remembered, officiated as Speaker of the Ar
kansas House of Representatives, during the
last Legislative session of that State, aficl who,
on tt certain occasion walked dowri from his
Chair, and slew Maj. T. T. Anthony, with a
Bowie knife, on the floor of the House, took
place a few days ago. The verdict of the Jury
was—"not guilty of murder but excusable homi
cide. 1 ”
There was a great meeting of the friends of
Mr. Clay, in New-York, on the 29th ultimo.
Gulian C. Verplanck was appointed Presi
dent, assisted by one hundred Vice Presi
dents, and eleven Secretaries. Mr. Verplanck
and other gentlemen addressed the meeting.
Resolutions approving of the National Con
vention, as recommended by the Whig mem
bers of Congress, were unauimnusly adopted,
and the meeting adjourned.
The Washington city correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, say9 that “ Mr. Wood
bury has refused to accept the appointment of
Chief Justice of New-Hampsliire, tendered to
him so considerately by his State, in order to
cover his retirement from the cabinet. He
wishes a foreign mission, and it is now said
that he will go to Spain, in the room of Mr.
Eaton, who will return home' and retire from
public life.
Locked Jaw.—A remedy has been discov
ered for this dreadful affection. It is nothing
but the application of warm strong ley made
from wood ashes. The part injured should be
bathed in the ley frequently, and if it be in a
part of the body that cannot conveniently be
immersed, apply flannels wetted with the lev.
It affords speedy relief and gradual cure.
This is a very simple remedy, but it is worth
remembering and trying. The simplest are
of the most efficient agents. Many cures are
said to have been wrought by this.—Greenfield
(Mass.) Gazette.
