Y( ie caption, therefore, should be the main
j e in carryiog out the details subsequently
^ umcrated in the body of the constitution.—
I'lerv Atuericau citizen cannot but admit the

intion) and the general government, were crea-

1 Tins object, like a plain finger board, (in the
oailol a traveller,) points to the right road from
the head of the instrument, with a command to
the general government never to abandon those
in the rising generations and expansions
of the country, but to adopt any means which
„ „ be found “necessary and proper” to pro-
mute and perpetuate them.
Those great, good, and virtuous men, who
framed our constitution, unquestionably divested
»,r hearts and minds of every particle of seif
er ,. s t. family aggrandizement, aud subsequent
cunjary hopes or ambition, at least for the time
,hrv «eie engaged in that sacred and national
work.
$u far as their mental vision and knowledge
( ,i human nature could extend into the future,
t!,r\ would see nothing but the above main ob-
,,is in the vista, contained in the caption.
T'u I ess i he members of Congress, and the Ex-
ulivc Department, can now, at this day, divest
fair hearts and minds, also of self-interest, fami-
aggrandiz.ement, and pecuniary reward, as
iheir in a in object, how can they claim to be the
pupils of those virtuous and patriotic founders of
ie Constitution and the General Government ?
It is not in the nature of things and philoso
phy, lor any set of congregated men to work out
plan of the architect, without entering into
ill. lull virtuous spirit and meaning of the object,
IiC Hiram Abriff and his congregated workmen,
carry out aud perfect the design of King Solo
mon and bis temple.
The United States and Territories, at this
time present the strangest anomaly in the civil-
ed world, to wit: A country vast in extent—
fertility of soil, climate, population, industry and
production, purporting to be free and independ
ent. under a happy and republican form of gov-
erui.ieiit on the one hand, and a want of “ public
tranquility and general prosperity” and confi
dence among the people, on the other hand.
Money, property, and power, have always been
ie increasing “ hone of contention” in the his-
u v of all governments and people, from the first
beginning ol societies aud laws.
A government without power to command and
provide a sound national currency for its own
purposes, and that of the people at large, would
r nothing in the end but a national delusion,
rdiug to anarchy, ignorance, and barbarism for
the rising generations.
Sound money, as a circulating medium, there-
tore, is the true basis of liberty, by which the
alue of property aud labor are governed.
Hence it is the great stimulem of man to put
forth Ins mind, labor, talents and perseverance,
and become a contented, exemplary, virtuous
en—a lover of good order, education and the
government—and a useful being to himself and
family, and to his country.
When the general government and the States
go wrong in their “ money matters,” and a sound
currency at the centre, like the main shaft of ma
chinery. the people will be sure to get wrong,
and go wrong in the end also.
A government, therel'ore, should be to the peo
ple. like the polar star to the mariner.
It is the continual uncertainty aud lluctuations
ol the laws and currency of the States and the
General Government, that disturbs and destroys
property, and the fruit of the labor of the
mass ol ihe people.
When a government is so conducted as that
ct the United St tes for the last 10 years, in re
tard to a sound uational currency, by the lead
ing men and exclusive advocates of State Banks
and brokers, aud stork speculators, so as to spunge
•tway a large annual portion of lire hard honest
earnings 0 f the people, for the aggrandizement
aud political power of the few, by a regular sys-
tt'm ol lad laws and bad money, and then call
t.iem “ireeineu” aud “the sons of liberty,” is a
[ISNOSlitR.
There must be some such design of practical
monarchy under their flag of “Republican De
mocracy,'' to deceive the people by a false name
. a party with\uie baud, whilst they can filch
"°m them a large auuual portion of their earn-
1 with tlie other iiaud ; or those leaders and
head nieu ot “the State Bank currency party”
«uuld not contend so strenuously against a Na-
honal Bank and Mr. Clay.
I here cannot he such an unrepublican and
monarchical practical “ efi'ect, without a cause,”
an; - no oilier cause can be assigned.
Here then lies the true question, which ought
1 be plainly presented aud fairly tested, bv the
Mielr people of the United States, at the next
"residential electiou.
Aaiioual currency and liberty, or State Bank
urreucy and monarchy, should be the true watch-
"i r d and countersign.
h matters not what “ name” they may assume,
if object at bottom is still the same, to wit: mo-
ne . v tmJ power in the hands of the few, at the
"*pense aud tribute of the many.
To ix paying portion of the people (Whigs

fr pickets, and look at their wives and chil-

Tor one Georgian, I have resolved, for the

'■nottior President, Governor, member of Con-
; t,r of the Legislature, (no matter which

refc! Cii *l uesl ‘ on °f deep intrigue, for power
I' "ties ought to unite od that point, and fix
the inoet wise end permanent basis for a Nation
al Bank, so that “ the general prosperity” of the
country may “ go ahead,” and then, if we must
have party divisions, let them be founded on
something else.
Some of the State Banks have thus far 9tood
firm, aud have been, and are now highly benefi
cial to those sections of the Union in which they
are located ; but their calibre, credit and circu
lation, is far too limited for national purposes,
and the promotion of the interest and convenience
of the people among the different States.
How can there be a permanent, inducement
fora nation of people of all parties, political and
religious, to work, be contented, happy and pros
perous. under any government, without sound
money as an equivalent for their labor, produce
and property ?
The mass of the people and the merchants do
not want gold and silver only, were it possible
for the country to produce a sufficient quantity
to fill the great circulating medium required.
They want bank bills that they know and feel
a confidence will command gold and silver at any
time, if required, and which shall be founded on
such a permanent national basis as to command
a general confidence alike in all the States, pub
lic markets, and cities of the Union.
This is what the people want, and it is what
they are entitled to have, as the main and first
object and duty of the government; because,
without it they cannot realise the full value of
their labor, produce and property, nor their pos
terity after them.
Liberty is but an empty name, where the many
are compelled, by the force aud management of
the government, to work for life, under an annu
al tiibute, by way of loss and discount on State
Bank paper, for the ease, luxury, grandeur, and
power of the few.
If the poor man, with a large family of chil
dren, makes but little produce for market, or
wotks for high or low wages, according to hi«
own contract, he will be satisfied and peaceable,
if he gets money in exchange in the shape of
Bank bills, which will be as current, dollar for
dollar, as gold and silver in one State, city or
town, as another, so he may not be compelled to
suffer the loss of a portion of his labor, produce
or property, by way of “ discount” on temporary
aud fluctuating State Bank bills and city shin-
plasters, lor the special legislative benefit and ag
grandizement of brokers, note shavers, and the
State Bank stock owners aud capitalists.
This is the national evil which causes the great
ana increasing dissatisfaction and interual dis
cord iu the country, and it will couliuue to get
worse, if it cannot be made better.
Gen. Jackson, iu his special message to Con
gress, July 11th, 1832, said, that “a National
Bank could be so organized as not to infringe on
the delegated flowers of Congress, or the respec
tive rights of the States, and that he could fur
nish a project for such a Bank, if called on by
Congress to do so." He was never called on.
The President of the United States beiug
elected by and responsible to the people, and be
ing bound by the solemnity of an oath to main
tain aud “ promote the public tranquility and
general prosperity” of the country, (as directed
in the Constitution,) a very natural and appro
priate question would arise, whether it was not
one of Gen. Jackson’s conscientious and consti
tutional duties to have recommended the out
lines of his plan for a National Bank, without
asking to be officially called ou by Congress to
do so ?
The great bulk of the people of this country-
are like unto a turkey roasting between two fires,
in which their substance is fast melting away
info the cold aristocratic hands of sordid avarice
and despotism, to fatten the “money changers”
and owners of State Banks stocks, to wit : the
constitutional power of the General Government
to “ regulate the standard of weights and mea
sures,” and thereby control and graduate the
quantity of labor, produce and property of the
people, on the one hand, and the assumed power
by the State governments to make and derange
the money and circulating medium for the peo
ple, on the other hand.
This we do not believe could have been the
intention of the founders of the Constitution, for
one government to make the “ weights and mea
sures,” and another government to make and de
range the money.
Plain common sense would teach any man
that the same power which controls and regulates
the quantity, by weight or measure, ought to
govern the value of the money, and circulating
medium which is to pay lor it.
A sound uatir>n"I currency is the natural appen
dage and indispensable necessary consequence
to follow, and go hand in hand with the Con-
giessional national “ weights and measures.”
The power that regulates the one, therefore,
ought to regulate the other, as an indispensable
means “necessary and proper” to “regulate
commerce among the States,” as well as the
other objects referred to.
It will not do to say that Congress “regulates
the standard of gold and silver,” as a circulating
medium, when there is nothing to weigh, aud
when the people are compelled, by the manage
ment of the government, to use State Bank pa
per money for ninety-nine hundredths of all their
dealings with each other among the different
States.
Those who oppose the constitutional power
of Congress to charter a National Bank, from
self interest and sinister motives of the leaders
of that party, cannot deny her the power to alter
and reduce “ the standard of weights and mea
sures,” so as to increase the quantity of bushels,
pounds, gallons, yards, feet, Arc., to fit the State
Bank paper discount of' the different States, (a
hard puzzle.) aud thereby aim at justice in that
way, as near as possible.
In coupling the name of Mr. Clay with a Na
tional Bank, there is one point which should be
guarded against by his friends, and explained to
the people, which at first may seem trivial, yet as
a policy, it might, in the end, produce an im
portant result. That point is to alter the title of
“ Uuited States Bank” to that of National Bank
The new Bank proposed by Mr. Clay aud his
friends, is to be more national and American, and
based (in the charter) on a different and more
safe-permanent basis and republican principles,
than the late Bank of the LTnited States.
That Bank was found to contain, in the act of
incorporation, a dangerous inlet for European
influence, bv which it was possible for a majori
ty of the Directors, and tlie President at the
Board, to be created by proxies from over the big
waters of the Atlantic, which in time might not
be found strictly American iu object or principle,
especially in case of war.
It was on that account that the late Bank and
the name become unpopular among many of its
first friends, aud the mass of the people.
Although the country is now suffering for the
want of a national currency, on account ot the
“ constitutional scruples.” or more properly, the
constitutional ignorance of Mr. Tyler, in veto
ing Mr. C’lay'6 National Bank bill in 1841, yet
the people retain their old prejudice against the
name of a “United States Bank,” because it is
natural for them to expect that, if the new Bank
isto bear the same name, it is to contain the same
obnoxious provisions of the late Bank, in regard
to the election of President, Directors, Acc.
The people want a National Bank currency,
but they want it to be as clear as possible, in the
board of power and management, from any “ eu-
tanglemeut hereafter with foreign nations.”
As the new Bank proposed by Mr. Clay will
embrace such an improvement, and other guards
to correspond, the above alteration in the title
will be more appropriate, and at the same time
obviate the old prejudice against the late Bank ;
and more especially, after it was metamorphosed
into “the Lmited States Bank of Pennsylvania.”
We have a national government, national ag
riculture, national commerce, aud a uational
character and enterprise among the nations of
the earth, and among ourselves, and we want a
national cuireucy to fit it.
Without that, the independence and liberty of
the country is not fully complete, aud identified
with “the public tranquility and general pros
perity” of the people.
If the truth and facts contained in this address
will do any good to the Whig cause, then, the
more it can be re-published by Whig editors,
aud circulated among the people of the Union,
the more good it will do towards restoring the
country to its wonted piosperity.
GEORGIA.
I jfU Ji* Editors of tko Recorder,
Gentlemen—The Editor of a “ Ten by
twelve” newspaper somewhere in the South-wes
tern part of Georgia, complains that his paper is
not delivered ; and on the authority of the P. M.
of that place, whom he asserts to be as ‘•‘■atten
tive and sober as any other in the Slate,” goes on
to accuse almost every other on the route of care
lessness. He assures his subscribets that “ his
packages are made up on Monday evenings and
placed in the office for Tuesday's mail,” conse
quently, “ if they do not reach their places of des
tination, it is the Jault of the Post Masters at
the offices to which they are directed.” If he
means any thing by the last sentence, it is to ac
cuse the P. M., to whose office his paper is di
rected, of not delivering it when called for. Or
“ the driver hands out the wrong bag, and the Way
Mail passes on, untouched, with the whole mail of
the place where the mistake occurs.” As to the
first part of the charge, at our office he has very
few subscribers. Most of them have ordered
their paper to be discontinued. Nevertheless,
he continues “ to make up his packages on Mon
day evenings, and places them in the officefor Tues
day's mail” aud they arrive duly, as near tlieit
place of destination, as the P. O. But no one
calls for them, and if offered by the P. M. they
are refused.
If we had not the Editor's own word for it, we
could not have believed that any one had “com
plained” that his paper had not reached “ its
place ofdestination.” As to the driver's “ hand
ing out the wrong bag,” we have reason to be
lieve it occurs frequently, though the abovemen-
tioned “ attentive P. M.” is too good uatured to
be personal in his accusation.
Papers from Houston, Lee, and the counties
above, directed to “ Albany,” are frequently car
ried nearly to Florida. We allude not to the
casual oversight occasionally, of a single paper.
When “ the wrong bag is handed out,” the P. M.
should search for the tight one, in the which he
will be considerably aided by recollecting that the
Way Mail has an iron lock ; aud that those directed
to Baitibridge, Apalachicola, Quincy, Tallahas
see, Branch Offices, have brass locks—and that
Post Masters at other than bianch offices are not
provided with keys for any but the Way Mail.
Such Post Masters, then, as have only the Way
Mail to open, should pay particular attention to
his very lucid advice on the subject.
Lastly, be states, that no Western Mail had
arrived at their P. O., since the last of June;
j and imagines that it is still lying at Fort Gaines.
We can assure him, that it has passed at least with
in sixty miles, and must be nearer home, unless he
has suffered it to pass through, “the driver hand
ing the wrong bag.”
Permit me, now, to call the attention of the
public to a practice very common with our pub
lic officers who have advertising patronage. In
compliance with law, they are bound to advertise
in some public newspaper; but in defiance of its
spirit, and in the face of the people who have
elected them, they collude with some Editor of
seme little paper, scarcely known out of the little
place at which it is printed, who may underbid—
and the people are compelled to subscribe to such
paper to see the advertisements of their officers,
which is worthless otherwise, or remain iu igno
rance of these important things. Thus, the offi
cer gets his printing done for half price, by evad
ing in this shameful manner, the law, and his ob
ligations to the public ; and the Editor forces,
thus, his trifling paper on a few more subscribers.
TEMPERANCE.
After Thoughts.—When the veil of death has been
drawn beuveen us and the objects of our regard, how
quick-sighted do we become to their merits, and how
bitterly do we then remember words or looks of un
kindness which may have escaped us in our intercourse
with them. How careful should such thoughts render
ns in the fulfilment of those offices of affection which it
may yet be in our power to perform—lor who can tell
how soon the moment may arrive when repentance
cannot be followed by reparation J
Newton county, August 14th, 1843.
Messrs. Editors,—1 recur with pleasure to a
scene of enjoyment, iu which I was permitted to
paiticipate iu common with hundreds of my fel
low citizens, at a barbacued dinner given on
Friday last, at the Hightower Trail Academy in
Sheffield District of this county, by the neigh
bors of that vicinity.
It succeeded the fatigues of a squirrel-hunt
of the two days previous, aud on the occasion
the hunters displayed their trophies, viz; the
6calps of their enemies to the number of 700.
The object of the dinner, so far as I could ga
ther it, was rather the expression of thanksgiving
to God, and of fraternal feeling towards each
other, than to favor the cause of any political
aspirant (or office; indeed Politics seemed to be
a lot bidden subject.
I viewed the occasion as the overflowing of
grateful hearts toward the Giver ol ali our benefits,
for the full and abundant harvest with which he
lias seen fit to reward the toils of the husband
man. And that the offering might be acceptable
to Him w ho delights in the happiness of his crea
tures, every thing calculated to lessen pure en
joyment was excluded, and every thing tending
to promote and increase it, abounded freely.
1 know not that the fair Banner of Total Ab
stinence has ever been unfurled in that region, but
judging from what transpired on that occasion,
you would not have supposed that there was
any need to urge the propriety of the measure.
Peace, harmony, aud good order prevailed
throughout tiie day.
The assemblage numbered hundreds of the
fairer and better part of creation, who not only-
lent enchantment to the scene by their presence,
but assisted with tbeir delicate hands to spread
the rich viands temptingly before the willing and
waiting multitude. And such a dinner !! Beef,
Lamb, Pork, ail dressed to a turn over the steam
ing excavations, deliciously seasoned and smok
ing hot. Vegetables, too, of every eatable vari
ety, bread of snowy whiteness, and pies, and cus
tard, of melting ricliuess, and O, the cider! new
ly expressed from the choicest fruit and of the
most-delightful flavour.
But I should not have proceeded so far, with
out recording the more intellectual part of the
repast.
At 11 o’clock, the throne of Grace was addres
sed irt an appropriate manner, by the Rev. Mr.
Mayfield of the Baptist Church, after which,
Mr. John W. Howard delivered a neat address
in graceful style, iu which he reviewed the re
forms in morals of the piesent age, and con
gratulated his fellow citizens, on the happiness
which smiled in every face, and the abundance
which teemed in every field. He was succeed
ed by Air. John Summers, on the benefits of ag
riculture to every age of the world ; his effort was
characterized by research and reflection.
Inspired by the exhiliration ot the scene, and
induced by the warm solicitation ol Iriends, Mr.
John Lawson, of Burke, a student of Emory
College, Oxford, then addressed them, very ap
propriately, on the benefits to be derived from
the application of scientific principles to the ag
ricultural department, and entreated his auditors
not to withhold from their sons, the advantages
of a liberal education. His remarks, though en
tirely extemporaneous, were pertinent and just,
and elicited much commendation-
The ladies were invited to the uble, and the
good order and decorum which prevailed at and
around the festive board, at each successive invi
tation to come forward and partake, was worthy
of all imitation and ail praise.
It was a scene, Messrs. Editors, well calculat
ed to warm the heart of the Philantropist, the Pa
triot, and the Christian ; and as I viewed the smil
ing, happy throng, their faces beaming with 6e-
nevotenoe and good will to their fellow men, l,
could not but indulge the hope, that the day was
not far distant, when love to God and love to man
shall characterize our race, and continue through
all the successive generations of coming time.
I could dwell on the pleasing picture, but am
reminded that I must not protract my commu-
flr. IliykHHl Acacttianee.

A. H. Stephens, Esq.:
Dear Sir:—The Whig party at its late Con
vention in Milledgeville, (with extraordinary
unanimity,) nominated yourself to be voted for
on the first Monday iu October next, to fill the
uicarion, lest I occupy too much space in your vacancy in Congress occasioned by the resigna-
columns. j lion of the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, and appointed
l could fain hope, that the example set may J the undersigned to communicate the fact to you
be followed, and that according to the multitude
of the benefits conferred on ns, may be the ex
pressions of our gratitude. And I know of no
way in which to offer an oblation of thanksgiving
more pleasing to our maker, than in coming to
gether at suitable seasons, and at the same board
with our friends and neighbors, partaking with
temperance and sobrietv of the common bless
ings which his liberal hand supplies.

Central Rail Road.—We are informed that
freight is flowing in large quantities to this road,
and that the prospect ol a heavy fall business is
very flattering.
The new locomotive engine, “ Gordon,” made
a trip with freight train during the past week,
and proved herself in all respects a good ma
chine
The arrival of another engine is daily expected,
and there is no reason to doubt that the remain
ing four will be od the road in due time for the
next crop of cotton.
We are pleased also to notice, that the num
ber of passengers from Florida and the west is
daily increasing, and that this route appears to
be rapidly gaiuing in public favor.—Sav. Geo.
VARIETY.
FOH THE RECORDER
Messrs. Editors:—Allow we to suggest the
name of Turner II. Trippe, of Cass county, as
a suitable nominee to fill the vacancy in onr Con
gressional delegation, llis pure character as a
gentleman; his distinguished ability as the pre
siding Judge of the Cherokee Circuit; his ex
panding and maturing mind, point him out as
one of the first of Georgia’s sons; and his posi
tion in one of the most populous districts of our
State, combined with his qualifications for office,
render him the very man to he selected by the
Whig party. His sterling republican princi
ples will render him acceptable to the whole
people of Georgia, and his public and private
character are without reproach ; and his high
standing with those over whom he has presided,
give an earnest that his nomination will be but
j the precursor of his election.
CHEROKEE.
Presidential Pursuits.—A Richmond paper has
ttie following:—There is something in the chase by a
weak man, of a dignity like that of the Presidency,
which irresistibly reminds one pf that ancient amuse
ment among the kittens—the trying to overtake their
own tail. The little creature spins around forever in
the same place, each moment persuaded that it is on
the point of grasping its object, while every effort it
makes only serves to whisk what it runs after farther
out of iu reach. Such is pretty much the grave piece
of tolly upon which the coantry has been condemned
to look ever since our piesent sagacious ruler caught
a sight of his own tail and took it for the Presidency
which was following him about.
Gen’i Morris, of the New Mirror, relates the follow
ing anecdote in relation to Mr. Preserved Fish:—This
gentleman in early life, was a sea captain. One day
his vessel was hailed by a brig, when the following di
alogue took place—“ Ship a-hoy!” “Hallo!” “Who’s
your captain 1” “ Preserved Fish.” “Who?” “Pre
served Fish.” The master of the brig, thinking he
was misunderstood, and wondering at the stupidity of
the opposite party, agnin applied the trumpet to his
mouth und bawled out—“ I say. mister, I don’t want
to know what’s your cargo, but what’s your captain’s
n-a-m-e.”
Served Right —The prying impertirence of the re
porter of the New York Herald, at Saratoga, ha’s been
checked by his expulson from the United States Hotel.
1 be boarders at that establishment, feeling themselves
aggrieved by the petty scandal of the Herald man,
gave him notice to quit; and preferring a hint to some
thing more convincing, he vacated. It is high time
the system of espoinage was broken up, und it is past
endurance that the families of our citizens cannot leave
for a Summer’s jaunt or a few weeks recreation, but a

Crawfordville, 29th July, 1843.
Gentlemen:—Your favor of the 30th ult., no
tifying me of the proceedings of the late Whig
Convention, in relation to a nomination to fill the
vacancy expected to he made by the resignation
of Mr. Cooper, in our Congressional delegation,
was duly received, and should have been answer
ed before this, but for the delay in receiving cer
tain information of the resignation of Mr. Cooper.
Feeling identified as I do with the great prin
ciples of the Wh ig party of Georgia, and believ
ing that upon their success depend the best in
terests of the country, and the only safe hope for
the return of prosperity to the people, I could
not, gentlemen, refuse to yield whatever of per
sonal consideration might under other circum
stances induce a contrary course, to the wishes
and views of so large a body of our friends, ex
pressed with such “extraordinary unanimity”
The nomination is therel'ore accepted. The
result is for the people to determine. The issue
is now fairly before them, and with that “cause
so full of interest to us all,” to which you allude,
you will permit me to add, I conceive to be in
volved the great questions whether our Govern-
ernment should continue to be administered ac
cording to the principles and usages established
by its authors, and under which we grew to be a
happy and a prosperous people, or whether the
maxims and examples of the fathers of the Re
public are hereafter to be abandoned, and every
thing orthodox and sacred is to yield to the theo
ries of modern innovators, who have brought
such ruin upon the country.
Please accept, gentlemen, for yourselves indi
vidually, my best wishes, and the assurance of
my highest esteem. Yours respectfully,
ALEX. H. STEPHENS.

Brazil.—We find the following interesting
letter in the Quebec Gazette of the 24th of Ju
ly, gathered from some foreign paper. The
writer, from llis allusion, seems to be an Eng
lishman :
Of Braz'd, little or nothing is known in this
country, and the interior of South America bor
dering on the Amazon is almost as unknown as
Ethiopia in Africa; and yet it is most extraor
dinary when we remember that this river is
navigable “ without a single obstacle” for nearly
three thousand fniies, and with a country on
its banks as fertile as the valley of the Nile.
Whence is this paralysis? Is it not the Gov
ernment and the prevailing religion which palsy
both the enterprise of the people and the growth
of the population ? We question whether the
climate is unhealthierthaD that of Louisiana.—
Yet look at the difference. Louisana is weal
thy and prosperous, and is rapidly progressing
in population, intelligence, and power. It is
rare we hear of such poverty as in the province
Pata, Brazil. “Of 119,877 free persons,
118,000 go barefoot.” We fear the writer is
Gold. Gold is abundant among travellers and in j taxing public credulity when he tells us this.
Messrs. E'/itors—A vacancy, we perceive, has
recently taken place in the congressional ticket,
by the resignation of the Hon. John B. Lamar,
; late a member elect to Congress. We would
j therefore suggest to our Whig brethren throtigh-
I out the State of Georgia, the name of our esteem
ed fellow citizen, Gen. John N. Williamson,
of Newton county, as a suitable person to fill said
j vacancy. Gen. Williamson is well known
! throughout the State, as a man of high moral
j worth and attainments. He has represented the
i people of Newton county in the senatorial branch
; of the Legislature for many years, and has never
j thrust himself forward for office, as many have,
t and has always stood firm and unshakeu to his
j principles as a Whig. We feel well assured,
j his nomination would meet the united approba
tion of the Whig party of the State.

general business—there is an unusual proportion of it ;
and among those not accustomed to handling it, there
are more counterfeits in proportion, probably two to
one, than there ever was in paper. There are not the
same means of judging of the genuineness of the arti
cle, that there is in hank notes, and the incautious are
therefore more likely to be deceived. The dies of some
counterfeits are good, and some that have been taken
for gold, are merely silver pieces galvanised. Every
person should he cautious, and apply the test of weight
before taking it, and even that some times fails.

A male brute at Montreal was the other day fined
one shilling by a magistrate, for throwings child down
stairs, and grasping the mother by the throat, and at
tempting to throw her down also. The same magis
trate, on the same day. fined a man ten pounds, for
offering some razors for sale on board a steamboat
without a license. Should “the heavens fall,” in Can
ada, it certainly would not be because justice was not
done there!
The counties of Nash and Edgecombe, in North
Carolina, which give such heavy I.ocofoco majorities,
contain 5,G94 white persons over 20 years of age, of
whom, 2,G31 can neither read nor write. In 1339,
when the act to establish common schools was passed,
Edgecombe county rejected it by a vote of 1,075 to
105. In ignorance there must bo bliss, as they seem
determined not to be wise.
The Mauvais Comet was seen at Nantucket on the
evening of the 3d inst. It is very dim, and can only
be descried with the help of a telescope. Its present
distance from the son is about Iwice that of the earth.
It is going farther and farther from us daily.
The United States revenue accruing at the port of
New York during July, after making deductions for
drawbacks, etc. is $1,000,000.
Specie in the World.—Tire entire specie in tire
world is estimated by Jacobs at $1,900,000,000. In
Europe there is supposed to be $1,000,000,000: ai d
! Mr. Merrill, of Union, Pennsylvania, says, that, ac-
! cording to the best authorities, the paper circulation
of Europe is fourteen times tire specie currency.

IIow to clean Kid Gloves.—Take a piece of flan
nel, moisten it with a little milk, nib it on a cake of
j mre hard soap, and then apply it to the soiled part of
j the glove. As soon ns you have removed the dirt, rub
j the kid with a dry piece of flannel. Care must be ta
ken Dot to make the glove too wet. In these hard
times, people must scour up, and make every thing go
as far as they can.
Ominous to Offcc-Holders.—The last ‘ Democratic
Union’ published in Pennsylvania, in an able article
on the subject of “ the President’s nomination,” says—
“ The united Democracy of the Keystone State de- j
mand of the next U. S. Senate the most prying inqui
ry into all Mr. Tyler’s Cabinet appointments.
The Richmond Enquirer copies the above, and adds:
“ The scrutiny may take a wider sweep. Rumors
have reached us about appointments to office which
have startled us.”
B. H. A. Collins, of Eastham, who was elected by
the Whigs to the last legislature, but who acted with
the Democrats, for which lie has been handled with
just severity by the Whig press, has been appointed
L ight House keeper at Cape Cod.—Boston Journal.
A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, w riting
from Illinois, says tfi3t Col. Benton has declared his
d( (termination not to support Mr. Calhoun, even should
hi ( get the nomination.
Strange Mistake.—A patient having been recom
mended by his physician to drink the Sutton (Spa)
water, was asked, on the next visit, “how he found
him self.” “ Why, doctor,” said he “ I can’t say that
I feiil much better, although I have followed your ad
vice,. but it is so black.” “ Black,” said the physi
cian, “why, what have you been taking?” “ Exactly
what you ordered me, soot-and-water, for my wife ruk-
ed it down the chimney and mixed it.”—Eng. papier.
Camphine.—The great number of deaths which
have occurred from the careless use of Camphine has
ca used a gentleman in Boston to take note of die oc-
cu rrences. He states that the number of deaths oc-
casi aned by such explosions since its introduction is
forlij-seven.
R.uil Roads «'» Austria.—An article from a Vien
na paper of May 29th, states that the number of work
men employed on the rail roads of Austria was at that
time more than 40,000, and that ia a short time the
number would be increased to 60,000. The rail toad
from Vi enna to Prague will be finished in 1345.
though, as the climate is very warm, little

T HE undersigned informs his friends and the public
generally, that he will continue to transact the
above business, and respectfully solicits a share of their
patronage. Having located permanently in Savannah,
and intending to bestow his entire persona! attention
to the business, in which he has had considerable ex
perience, he indulges the belief that those who favor
him with their business will have no cause to regiet it.
Liberal cash advances will be made on cotton in store
when required, and orders for Bagging, Family sup
plies, &c. promptly attended to, and in strict compli
ance with directions.

GRISWOLD’S WARRANTED
COTTON GINS.
^ TF practice makes perfect, who then can claim a
-L beltrr right to peifection in the trade, than
Samuel Griswold? His Gins have been in use in this
State for twenty years or more.” The subscribers
would inform buyers of Gins, that they continue to
carry on the making of the above named Gins, in num
bers sufficiently g eator small, to supply all orders they
may receive, cither through agents or by letter. Tiia
improvements they have made, are such as will, upon
first sight, satisfy any one, of their great utility, possess
ing at the same time simplicity, w Rich i3 one of the most
important things to be looked to, when it is considered
that they are managed mostly by negroes, who know
nothing of complicated machinery. Importing their
Steel direct, they are sure of getting the best articio
that is made, and therefore feel an assurance of giv ing
satisfaction in that particular. They deliver them
promptly in any part of the country free ofcharge, and
warrant that they do well in every way. We vv.ll not
resort to the plan of some builders, by giving certificates
in the newspapers, but will merely ask those wishing
to buy, to ask almost any of their neighbors if they
know any tiling oi Griswold’s Gins. We challenge in
quiry and investigation. Our agents, however, carry
with them a few certificates, w hich have been kindly
offered.
Refairing done with despatch.

PROSPKCTU3 OF

A weekly Journal cf Politics, News, Agriculture,
Science and Art.
T V HE subscriber intends to commence the publica
tion of a weekly newspaper on a medium sheet
ot fine white paper, the first of September next, at the
town of Marietta, Georgia, under the above title.
Tiie political features of Ths Helicon will he de
cidedly Whig. It wili firmly, temperately, aud fear
lessly advocate the great distinctive principles of the
Whig parly in I lie United States—the establishment
of a V nited States Bank—a distribution of the pro
ceeds of the sales of the public lands among the States;
a limitation oi tiie presidency to one term—a restric
tion of the Presidential veto—a curtailment of federal
executive appointment and patronage, which i- alrea
dy too great, increasing and ought to be diminished—
strict accountability :n public officers, and a tariff (01-
revenue, sufficient for an economical administration of
Government, with incidental protection to Amr rican
Industry.
W iib these for our landmarks, truth for our guide,
the public good our aim, we hope to be able to send
forth from this fountain a stream as pure as flowed
from the fountain of old, from which we take our title,
which shall heal the diseases inflicted on our sufieiir^
country by the spirit of Locofocoism. Henry Clay,
the patriot statesman, is our first choice for President
in 1344. During the brief period until the approach
ing election, we shall support G. W. CrawfuRD for
Governor, and A. H. Stephens for Congress.
W e shall open to and would invite our Agricultural
friends in the South to occupy a portion of our columns
weekly with agricultural matter. Aside from this we
shall carefully select such matter under onr Agricul
tural head as may bo adapted to the soil and climate
ot the South. We may also extend ibis invitation to
the friends of Literature, Science end Art.
The speedv completion of the Georgia Railroad to
the Tennessee river, being of the utmost importance,
as well to Georgia as Tennessee, we shall advocate a
system of policy which will insore that desirable object.
Our paper will each week contain a Bank note ta
ble, showing the rate of exchange at Augusta and Sa-
vannal ; also, price* current of the most importa-.t ar
ticles of produce, manufactures and commerce.
Terms—Two dollars per annum, payable upon tho.
receipt of the first number.
