Are requested (o meet at the Court-house at
jo 0 ' c lock on Tuesday the 4th of June, to nom
inate Deleaves t0 l he Electoral Convention, and
Delegates a ; g0 l0 nominate a candidate for Con-
-ress from this Congressional District.
The Tariff bill of Mr. McKay has been de
feated bv a vote of 105 against, to 99 in favor of it.
The result of this Democratic Tariff measure
will force upon the public mind, of ail parties,
some important and interesting reflections. And
amongst the first which must necessarily present
itself, is the utter hollowness ot the lar-sounding
pretensions of the southern democracy on this
subject. They have sedulously inculcated on
ihe mind of the southern people, that, the pre
sent tariff was onerous and unequal—that it was
distinctly a Whig measure—that one of the car
dinal docilities of the. democracy, one which
bound the southern anJ northern wing together.
was decided opposition to this tariff, and all
others having an eye to domestic protection.
We have as earnestly and more truly, told the
people, that protection was a common favorite
of ;he north and with both political parties; and
i.iat the democracy in Congress would prove the
fact whenever they were pul on trial.
We have said that all that either party could
dn for their friends opposed to the protective
principle, was such compromises of the question
i.i regard to the degree as would nearest com
port with their wishes.
We have stated broadly that it was absolutely
absurd if done ignorantly, and false if intelligent
ly, to assume as fact that the northern people,
whins or democrats, were opposed to a protec
tive tariff, and we have cast ourselves for proof
of the assertion, on the candour of ail men ol
whatever party, who can pretend even to the
slightest knowledge of the public feeling and
opinion of the northern people.
>ow how does the late vote in Congress tally
with our assertions ? In a House of Represen
tatives in which the democrats have at least a
majority of fifty votes, this great subject is
brought forward, urged by the anti-protectionists
with all zeal—the pledges of the party in relation
to this very tariff prominently held up to view,
and the southern branch at least making it the
main question of party cohesion, and yet with
all this, the matter is suffered to remain unalter
ed ami just as it was, notwithstanding their
pledges, their promises and their overwhelming
power of nearly two votes to one, of the body
considering .’lie subject. And this, the southern
people must be forced by party politicians to be
lieve to be, par excellence, the anti-tariff party •'!
Argument here would be ridiculous. The ac
tual proofs, the (acts are before the people, and
to argue upon such an exhibition, would be but
beclouding the truth, with a covering of words.
There is another reflection, which the result
before us must again force upon the candid of
all parties. Upon the subject of a revenue tariff
giving incidental protection to domestic industry,
the South cannot reasonably expect henceforth
a House of Representatives more favorable to
their peculiar views in regard to it, than that
which has just decided the question. We say
the south, because the conviction is forced upon
us that the south in that regard stands alone. It
may by various considerations, and under peculiar
circumstances, be enabled to procure the votes of
other sections, to side with it on this matter, but
it will only he as some party compromise, some
quid pro quo, which party organization and par
ty objects may force for the time from their tem
porary allies. For the free trade principles of
the southern cotton growing states, or even the
ad valorem principles of the same section, having
no regard to the great interests of other and larger
portions of the Union, are in such a hopeless
minority with both the great parties of the
country, and this, too, founded ou what they
deem to be essential for self-preservation, that to
anticipate a more favorable hearing, for the ques
tion of free trade, or a more favorable determina
tion, than that it has just undergone, would we
conceive lie only to shut our eyes upon the
light, in the hope of extinguishing it.
What, then, is the position which the South
must and ought to assume, and if possible to
maintain, on this interesting matter. We see no
difficulty in her position, but such as selfish, par-
kzin politicians throw around it, and nothing
to prevent the perfect realization of her own soi-
eninly and deliberately expressed wishes on the
subject. It is to hold on sacredly, and in good
■tith. to the terms (so solemnly ratified,) of the
ompromise act. Let it never be forg jften, that
rhen this very subject brought the integrity of
|be Inion itself into the most imminent and in-
J am peril, ihis was the oil poured upon the sior-
ftny billows, which soothed and trauquilized them
ud lulled them into peace. Let it not be forgot-
Jen that the State itself most periled in the angry
■’file which this question produced, has ever made
tone of her most glorious boasts, that by her
runess she effected this compromise; that it
-t ied her wrongs and settled her grievances, and
i'tt with it she could still rejoice as one of a glo
bus confederacy of nations, enjoying equal rights
ith her associate sisters. This is the position
1 the South. The Compromise, in its spirit and
n its letter, is the treaty of right, solemnly ac-
wledged by all parties, the North, the South,
the East and the West to be so—and to this we
kould hold, as to a secure anchor, cast by all
parties from the ship of State, when tempests
mdstorms were beating upon her, which enabled
t,er 'hen to ride out the hurricane, and which
inaiutnioed, will still secure her Irom damage and
’°ni "reck amid all the gales which may yet
upon her.
And for the maintenance of this great Com-
lr °mise, so satisfactoiy to the whole South, wo
lave atl assured guarantee in the election of
• iN Rv Clat. There is no mistake here; wo
not make the assertion on surmise or on hear-
a -’ nor even on the almost certainty, in all ra-
,Da ' Probability, that he who made the com-
"omise will surely not fail in carrying out his
n most honorable and most glorious measure,
assert the fact upon even better grounds tliau
“• fur ive assert it as asserted by himself,
lc v> ln fur hearing and in the hearing of
e liow-citizens who so joyfully hailed his ar-
■fi at the capital of old Georgia. Our neigh-

GREENE COUNTY.
At a meeting of a portion of the Whig party j
of Greene county, held at the Court House or i
the 7th day of May. for the purpose of appoint- i
ing delegates to the Convention to be held iu
Milledgeville on the 4th Monday in June next to
nominate Electors for President and Vice Presi
dent, Col. Y. P. King was called to the Chair,
and Henry Sanford, was appointed Secretary.
The following Resolution was offered by John
G. McHenry. Esq.
Resolved* Thar the Chair appoint a committee

Monday in June.
NATHAN TUCKER. Ch’n.
Hugh McCall Moore, Sec’y.
TATTNALL*
According to previous notice, a number ol the
. i-i i ' of seven, who shall report to this meeting the
transaction triumphantly accomplished.; - r
, j 1 1 suitable persons to represent the
. , names of four , ,—
Mr. Clay referred to subsequent objections to j Whig party of Greene county in a Convention
this principle, and declared, however that might j to be held iu the citv of Milledgeville on the
; be, that he was only willing to carry out the
; compromise as a whole, and not in a mutilated
J form, virtually making that no compromise at
j all which was claimed as such—that he should-
j stand on that compromise as a whole, as it was
I agreed to by all pnrties, and that honor and good
j faith to the parties consenting, and to himself, re-
| quired that as a whole, and only as a whoie,
i should this compromise act be carried out.
i These are the declarations of Mr. Clay, not
' in his very words, but assuredly in their obvious,
and true meaning and intent; and no man pre
sent, could be mistaken in the declaration of
Mr. Clay’s open and avowed adhesion to the
Compromise Act, in its full and entire meaning,
(spirit and intention.
Now, the election of .Mr. Clay secures to the
(South, all that the South can desire, or, after
> her own solemn act, has the right to claim, in
j the full and entire carrying out of her own aet j
! of compromise on this delicate and most difficult j
j subject. What can she desire more? We ask J
i the question, because we know the answer’and I
can give it; which is, that the South desires no
more than the fulfilment of her own act of com
promise upon this subject; that her honorand her
interests have been alike consulted and regarded
by that act; and that let who will murmui at its
terms, it is not for them to brand with dishonor
and repudiation the solemn act of their own
hands.
Mr. Clay has announced himself openly and
independently, in the hearing of friend and foe.
as willing to stand upon that act. and to carry
it out in all its parts, with truth and with honor.
If there are others who for their own purposes
desire to violate this great compromise, in re
gard to the home valuation or any other of its

Agreeably to previous notice, a respectable
■p ortion of the Whigs met at Vienna. Thomas
H . Dawson Esq. was called to the Chair and P.
i F. D. Scarborough Esq. requested to act as Secre-
I tary. Alter the object of the meeting had
j bet m explained by the chairman to be for the
pur pose of nominating Delegates to represent
the county in both the Convention to be hol-
<len in Milledgeville on the fourth Monday in
Jun e. lor nominating electors for President and
Vic e President of the United States, and to the
to represent the Whigs of this county in a Con
vention to be heid in the city of Savannah on
the fourth Thursday in this month, to nominate
a suitable candidate to represent the first Con
gressional District of Georgia.
On motion of Robert C. Surrencv, Benjamin
Alexander, Esq. was called to the chair, and
John A. Rodgers appointed Secretary. The
object of the meeting was explained by the Chair,
when H. A. Samith, Esq. was called for, who
rose and responded in a very appropriate man
ner. He expressed his satisfaction in again
meeting with his old friends, his former associ
ates—and that too in a Whig meeting. Time
and distance could never eradicate from his mind
the recollection of youthful associations. He
therefore congratulated them on the present
prospects of the Whig party. Victory was a-
head, and under the banner of Henry Clay they
must and would triumph. The present election
for a member of Congress was all important, as
it would have a direct bearing on the result of
the Presidential contest. United action was
necessary, and the Whigs of the district looked
to Tattnall county with pride and pleasure. It
was desirable, therefore, that she might he rep
resented in the coming Convention, &c.
The meeting then went into the nomination
of delegates, whereupon Robert C. Surrencv.
George W. Collins, George A. Durrance and
James Vinzant, were proposed, and unanimous
ly appointed.
Resolevd, That the proceedings of the meet
ing be published in the Savannah Republican,
with the request that the Milledgeville Recor
der copy the same, and oblige inanv Whigs.
On motion the mepting adjourned.

The Hon. Henry Clay left Washington city-
last evening in the rail road cars, going North ;
intending lo go as far as the Relay-house, (nine>
miles this side of Baltimore.) to slay there last
night, and to proceed this morning in the train,
passing from Baltimore Westward, directly on.
without any stoppage, to Ashland, his residence
near Lexington.
Mr. Clay’s sojourn here has been altogether
quiet and unostentatious, and he has thereby-
had time to recruit from the fatigues of travel
and of public receptions between New'Orleans
and this place. His departure has been purpose
ly so private and unheralded, that it is pre
sumed he will reach home, as he arrived in this
city, privately, and attended only by his son,
who travels with him.—Nat. Jnt.
We learn that Mr. Clay reached the Relay-
House, on the Washington railroad yesterday
evening, slept there last night, and left this morn

At a meeting of a portion of the Whig

though it were thought to be true. Now. said

question as having nothing at all to do with it,
I was there ever such an outrage committed be-j

Congress was in session, and without even inti j

' Late last evening, after an Executive session
of several hours, the Senate removed the injunc

We have not, ot course., had any opportunity

ordered a military force to repair to the frontier
of Texas, to open a communication with the
President of that Republic and act as circum
stances might require ; and had also ordered a
j naval force to Vera Cruz, to remain off that

BALD1VIN Sl’PEKIOK COtttT,
April 3Utb, 1844.
Iverson L. Harris, Esq , from the Commiitee
previously appointed forlbe purpose, made the follow
ing report: —
Since the session of this Court in March last, the
Bar of Milledgeville have been deprived by death ot
one of its most vulued members, Francis V. De-
Launay, Esq. So frequently has it been summoned
within the last ter. years to render its tribute of respect
to the memory of a deparled brother, that Air. DeLau-
nav, though hut a middle aged man, indeed in the me
ridian of manhood, was at the time of his lamented
death, its eldest member. Tliis fact is full of sad ad
monition to the surviving few of the local, who have
on this occasion united wiih the Circuit Bar, to mingle
iheir gr iefs together in a common affliction, proceeding
from a common loss.
We indulge iu none of the stereotyped forms of eulogy,
I unmeaning oft as tney are insincere, when we express
I our coinictiou that Ins intellectual merit was much
! beyond the ptofes imial reputation which he had ac-
’ quired with the public. Unobtrusive and diffident.
; aod without a particle of vanity, be did not secure, be-
I cause the qualities of hi* rnind forbade its puisuit, that
| most fugitive of all professional reputations, the repu
diation of eiuqueut advocacy. He preferred tiie solid
j to the specious, and sought no other rank in the pio-
| feasion than that which is attained by the application
of a clear mind, debbeiate in its investigations, earn
est and sagacious in the search of truth, to the pursuit
in which he was engaged. His faculties and habit*
belter fitted him for ihe duties of the Counsellor ttnd
I Special Pleader, than for the more brilliant caieei of
j the Advocate ; and such is indeed the organization of
I our judicial system, that a just appreciation of the
former cannot be bad until u proper forum is provided
| for their appropriate exhibition.
j We have spoken of Mr. DeLaunay as a lawyer—it
: is as a man we delight most in contemplating the cliar-
j acter he has left with us, and which will live after him.
I With sttong but well regulated passions, he never gave
utterance to those emotions of anger which mark tiie
I man of impulse, and which arc so often the sources of
(bitter regrets. With a steady and unfaltering firm-
' ness, he pursued the path of duty as it was illumined
, by reason and illustrated by principle. Uniformly ur
bane, his deportment was kind and bland, frank
j and unaffected, sincere and unselfish. No man was
i ever a truer friend.
J We will not dwell, however, upon those numerous
, virtues and traits of character which classed him with
the best of men, but we cannot close this last unpre
tending and heartfelt offering of respect to the dead,
without adding that there was an ennobling beauty in
his private iife without a stain—as also in the pure and
unsullied integrity with which the several public trusts,
nt various times confided to him, were discharged—
furnishing to all within the circle of his acquaintance
an example for imitation—a man upright and without
reproach. With a deep sense of the loss we have sus
tained in the severance of a tic stronger and closer
than that of a common membership of the same hon
orable profession, we recommend that
The members of the Ocmulgee Bar and the officers
of this Court will wear the customary badge of mourn
ing for thirty days.
That these proceedings be entered on the minutes
of the Court as a just mark of respect to one of its
officers.
That His Honor Judge Cone be requested to trans
mit a copy of these proceedings to tfie family of the
deceased
j And further, that these proceedings be signed by
| His Honor Judge Cone, and that the papers in Mil-
| ledgeviile be respectfully requested to publish the same.

strict compliance with this suggestion.
We have given the poor school laws passed at the
last session of the Legislature, the most patient and
respectful consideration ; we are, however, for good
reason* theieunto moving us. compelled to pass the
same without recommending a tax ir. accordance with
the provisions of the statue.
VVe recommend an extra rax for countv purpo»es f
but leave the per centum to be fixed by the Inferior
Court according to the public exigencies.
We cannot loo highly commend his Honor Judge
Tracy, for the distinguished ability and impartial
firmness of hi* administration of justice during the pre
sent term. He will please accept out official aod indi

“ Mr. Tyler, he said, had done his best, though
not quite a Palinurus, to steer his little bark in
to the Presidential harbor. He had struggled
hard against the head winds that beat upon it,
the counter-currents in which it was carried
adrift, the shallows and flats upon which it had
thumped, the mud in which it had repeatedly-
stuck. He had freighted it with ai! sorts of
principles, and manned it in vain with all kinds
of crews; and now, as a last resort, be had rig
ged Mr. Calhoun for a jurymast.”—Mr. Pres

The Texas Question.—The Globe admits
that there are many engaged in prostituting the
question as to the Annexation of Texas “ to the
vile purposes of partisan and sectioned election
eering and president-making by intrigue. We
agree with the Globe entirely in this opinion.
A Computation.—Some doubt exists, as to the
number of people actually present at the recent
Whig Convention at Baltimore. A calculation
that we have seen, states, that the exact num
ber can be readily obtained. “ by only multiply
ing six Kentucky Camp Meetings by thirty Indi
