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 n l Democrats) now begiu to see, and feel in fr pickets, and look at their wives and chil- r, ‘ n «iih a long sigh and heavy heart, when the u gatherers call at their dwellings and “ log abins.-’ ^ e just begin to smell in this country, under ' l; - entire State Bank system and currency, the tunes ol old Ireland and the com laws ot Eng- ind.” Tor one Georgian, I have resolved, for the a '°' e reasons, never to vote at the ballot box for '■nottior President, Governor, member of Con- ; t,r of the Legislature, (no matter which i my he may claim,) who is an exclusive advo- 1 l,e and supporter of the State Bank currency, an enemy of a National Bank currency for "people. “less the Whig press will strike this national urreucy n*i| on the head, with a fearless ham- tTf' ,rul * 1 au ^ facts, and drive it well home to u e so as to correctly open their minds ii , nn | , ' le subject, we shall never get the country u 'be tight road of prosperity again, aud the •'Overtime-* 1 - * Purity. of tit rent restored to its original object and e ure now in the third era ol the advocates the U ^ la,e s >’ stem * *° force the people of C1( j LlJ ion to carry on all their dealings and avo- mos without the currency and exchange of a National Bank. ,- iu | ) era has proven fallacious, as an entire an d e "‘- und ruinous to “the public tranquility itiG S f eaera *.P ros I )er,, 3 1 ” oi the country, in all its pro] ' lta ‘ nlere uts of agriculture, commerce, , 1“ H), and daily avocations of every kind and "vript IOD- ■> exc(, UriP - V ’ a 80u nd circulating medium of ^ dn 8 e i adapted to the wants of the people and are jg^ e l nil ’ en1, 18 a subject in which all parties dispei m ?

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. June 30th, 1843. A. H.

G. G. S. 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 hired spy of the New York Herald is on their track, to report all their conduct, with such additions as will render it palatable to the readers of that journal.

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. To H. T. Shaw, R. A. Toombs, J. Hall, J, W. Green, O. A. Lucktl, Committee. 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. NEWTON COUNTY. 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. [ Wheeling Times. 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 convenience and privation may be suffered by these baief'ooted gentry. Still it shows their ex cessive poverty. It will be also marked that are now in a state of retrogression. They seem verg'mg fast towards barbarism. Comptroller General’s Ofiler. > August 10th, 1843.

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.

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.
