: The Cherokees, us it is known, were ilivi.b-d into two
political p.rties—friend and opponents of the treaty of
New-Echota. Of the former, there were, remahiingoast,
in May last, about 500 souls—of the latter, including 3*0
Creeks,* u little more than 15,000. About 2,500 of the

There is another common error, which may

much thinking of the effect, he cut it; the

It is worthy of remark, that the only one of
the five members elect from Madison county,
Alabama, to the State legislature, in favor of
the Sub-treasury scheme, is Judge Win. Smith
formerly of South Carolina, who it seems, af
ter being driven from that State by the perse
cutions of Mr. Calhoun and his adherents is
now once more pulling in the same traces with
his vindictive enemy. Truly, politics do make
one acquainted Avith strange bed-fellows. In
1S24, when Mr. Calhoun Avas a federalist of
the Hamiltonian school, Judge Smith avas op
posed and turned out of the Senate, by the Cal
houu faction, because he Avas a friend of Wm.
II. Crawford, and belonged to the Virginia
State Rigliis party. In 1328 ’30, Avhen Cal
houn abandoned bis federal doctrines, and em
braced the doctrine of nullification, thereby run
ning far ahead of the old State Rights school,
J udge Smith who still stood upon his own prin
ciples was so violently persecuted by this
same Calhoun faction, that he Avas absolutely
compelled to lca\'e the State, because he was
not enough of a State Rights man! And
iioav, he and the Calhoun faction are working
together in advocating the treasury batik, as
the true State Rights doctrine—though Mr.
Calhoun and Judge Smith both claim to have
“ abandoned no principle, changed no opin
ion,” during the Avhole time within which they
have been thus alternately opposing ar.d aid
ing each other! Both have been standing still
though the antipodes are now standing shoul-j j> nil t,

Statue to Dr. Johnson.—The statue
erected to the memory of- the great moralist
in his native city of Lichfield, has been open

work of art, and as a fitting memorial in hon

which is of colossal prooortions, being 19 foot

(TFrcfl with its on this point. We positively deny both asser
tions. Nor are we content with a bare denial, we will prove
it. Nay, more still; we will demonstrate that those only are
inconsistent, ar.d grossly inconsistent, who would at this

much worse than inconsistent—for the only object in the
effort that tie can perceive, is solely to h.olstcr up the
cause of Van Buren in Georgia—n man v. ho hns used the
offices and patronage of the Government to crush our party
in the dust. While all are aware that this paper is now,
and ever has been against the constitutional power of Con
gress to charter a Batik, or any other corporation, even a
national university—yet we k: ow that this paper, and
every other paper of the party in Georgia, as well as the
party itself, has always yielded to their fellows tho tight of
private judgment o:t she subject, and have never refused, or.
this acccount, their hearty support to those of their friends
who differ with them in regard to it.
But to the proof: It will not he necessary we presume
to trace the course of the pgrfy further hack thsn thirty
years ago, and thence down to the present. Well; sorhe
thirty years ago our party acknowledged as its chief lead
er, Wm. H. Crawford. They sustained him far the Chief-,
Magistracy, with all l! rir vigor, and sustained him through
out his political life. But every one knows that Mr. Craw

throughout his political career. 5Vas thrie any inconsis

The party with plr-asutc sustained Mr. Eliiot in th* Senate,

almost universal cheerfulness since the date of the new

Corsets.— When sve breathe we take into
the chest, or inhale, and give out or expire, a
certain quantity of air, which can be measur
ed by breathing through a curved tube, into a
bell-glass full of water, inverted over a pneu
matic tub. Dr. He'rbst, of Gottingen, has
lately been performing some curious experi
ments, in relation to the quantity of air that is
breathed. Now the commonest understanding
will appreciate from them, the comfort of full
and unrestrained breathing. Dr. Herbst says,
that a middle sized man, twenty years old, .af
ter a natural expiration or emission of air, in
spired or took in, eighty cubic inches, s% r hen
dressed, and one hundred and sixty Avhen his
tight dress was loosened. After a full dilata
tion of the chest, he inhaled one hundred and
twenty-six cubic inches ivhen dressed, and one
hundred and eighty-six when undressed. An
other young man, aged tAveritv-one, after a
natural expiration, took in fifty while dressed,
and ninety-six when undressed. Had Dr.
Herbst made his observations on some of the
ladies who carry the use of corsets to extremes,
we apprehend that he would have obtained re
sults of a nature really alarming. If the wheel
of Fashion, Avhich revolves even more rapidly
than Fortune itself, Avould but bring up some
thing oriental in costume, it would go far to
ward reforming the public health.
At the Hotel Dieu, the great hospital at Pa
ris, a young girl of eighteen, lately jaresented
herself to M Brescht far his advice—on the
light side of her throat, she had a tumor of va
riable size, but never bigger than one’s fist;
it reached front the collar-bone as high as the
thyroid cartilage, (called in common language
Adam’s apple;) ivhen pressed downward, it
wholly disappears; but returns as soon as the
pressure is removed; it is indolent, soft and
elastic. It is observed to be the largest when
the chest is tightly laced in corsets. In short,

Custom-house Prodigality.—It appears
from the official documents sent to Congress
by Secretary Woodbury, that certain Collec
tors of the Revenue received last year from
the Treasury, in the form of salaries, 8227,-
635 69 mmc than the whole amount of reve
nue collected by them! At Saco, Maine,
four revenue officers received more than fifteen
hundred dollars, while they did not collect one
cent of revenue ! At Edgartown, Mass., six
revenue officers, three of whom received two
thousand five hundred dollars salary, collected
only “twenty-five cents !” At New-Lontkn,
six officers ivere employed, who were paid
more than four thousand dollars, while the
amount returned as collected by them Avas
one dollar and nineteen cents ! At St. Mary’s,
two officers Avere paid tact ire hundred and.
thirty-six dollars, and collected only one dol
lar and thirty-five, cents.
Is it at all strange, when such things hap
pen, that the expenditures of the Govern
ment are “retrenched” from 812,000,000 a
year, up to nearly 840,000,000 ? And is it at
all strange, that, Avhen hordes of salaried reA'e-
nue officers are thus employed along the sea-
coast to collect, not revenue, but voters, the
Administration should be able to carry a State
like Maine, which, with its inlets, has more
sea-coast than any other three States in the
Union 1—Louisville Journal.
The Beet Sugar Company of Northampton,
Mass, are going on in their enterprise with
great activity. Their buildings are in a State

tons to the acre. The German system of ma
nufacturing the sugar is adopted. The root

Popping the Question.— “ What a strange
thing is acquaintance,” said a beautiful girl the
other day to a friend of ours—“ a year ago
we had not seen each other—many a season
had rolled its course, bringing hope, happi
ness, and perchance sorrow to each, without
the cognizance of the other, and now ice are
intimate /” Our friend says she looked so
lovely he could not help pressing her delicate
cheek—he asked her if he had aught to do
with the happiness of her future. “ You are
in all my dreams of the coining days,” replied
she; they are to be married at Christmas.
We consider this one of the neatest “ poppings
o’ the question” ever heard of, though, by the
way, Ave think it ought to have happened in

Universal Cannibalism.—That “ all flesh

anthropophagi and cannibals, devourers not
only of men but ourselves; and that not in an
allegory, but a positive truth : for all this mass
of flesh which Ave behold came in at our mouths
this frame we look upon hath been upon cur
trenchers; in brief, avc have devoured our
selves.

Shall we go on with the list, or is this elongated enough nt
present, for the time nrd patience of the reader ? Well;
to this course of action of the ] nrty. from ns far bark ns
we can remember downwntds to the present litre, there
has been no charge of ir.ror.sistenry or abandonment of
principle. But r.ow, nt t! e n d of thirtv years’ frietidiv,
liberal nrd harmonious action ns we have shown, we
are to’el, that to do ns we have always done, allow our
friends to think on this sul jeet ft t ll.t trsf-ives, is vastlv
iricunsistP! t, and an utter abandonment of tho principles of
the party. Faugh ! Those only are inconsistent with the
uniform course of the party since its origin, who would
now attempt to dictate to the party on this subject, and to
drive them into u departure from their uniform rourse of
action, to a course of proscription; anil all, so far ns we
can see, for the worthy object of breaking our old party in
to fragments, and allowing Martin Van Buren to become
the lord Dictator of Georgia. A worthy object doubtless ;
an 1 the means as worthy ns the object.
We have thus hastily run over a period of thirty venrs’
action of the party on this subject, to enable those who
rnnv not have made themselves ns well acquainted with
our party in years gone by as we are, to refute the absurd
and false allegation of inconsistency on this point, which I
is now so much in the mouths of those w ho would g’oiy in
the ruin of the party, arid who can only effect their object
tty dividing it*. We leave it to the reader, whether we
have not satisfactorily made out our rase.

Georgia—Some weeks ago we predicted disaster to
the Democrats in Georgia. We did so under the full ns-
sttranae that we wou'd ror be mortified with finding out
that we had mads a false prophecy. The stand which
Georgia has taken is a noble rebuke to her neighbor, South
Carolina. Tn the days of trouble to Carolina, Georgia
was her firmest friend. She was the very first to espouse
Iter cause in that contest between the tyrannical misrule
of the late administration, nnd the sovereignty of the
States. She adopted the noble doctrines of State Rights:
and she has pursued a course, since that time, calculated
to convince Iter neighbor of the heartfelt sincerity which
aetunted her in that contest. Georgia lias been firm to
her principles—while she has seen the very arm which
wove the chaplet for the chivalrous bonnet of Carolina,
tear away the garland and trample it under his feet!
South Carolina theorised, on principles, while Georgia en
forced, and taught Carolina to he firm. Philo taught
Cicero t» he eloquent—who rivalled the glory of Philo?
(Esehines toyed with Demost'ienes—who tore awnv the
glory of CEschines ? So did Plato contend with his pre
ceptor, and rival, and excel him. and put him to shame.
The Georgia election is another kneli whose mournful
