Jndgo ShofUl’A Charge to tho CJmud Jury Of tho Court or Common Plow and Oyor and Toruiiuer, Tor tho City of Savtunmh, deliver ed at tho adjourned Term or November, (13th December, 1847,) and published at their re quest. Qe^men of tie Grand Jury.—In addressing a select and enlightened body of eitiaons, who hnva so ofteii been required to discharge the high functions or Gratul Jurors, it wouItTnooni sitperdiious for mo to submit for-your consid eration, any observations on the present ocea- * But, as lids is the first opportunity afford- od mo, or meeting you in my official station, perhaps, a brief expression or sotno general viows, will not be deemed obtrusive, and may not he unproductive of some usefulness. My reflections instruct me, that thoro exists no pres sing necessity, neither do Uie injunctions of duty impose it on mo, to indulge in retrospect, ns to the controling motives, by which tho Legislature of Georgia was influenced, in 1819, In creating and orgaufeiug this tribunal. Its history, is cer tainly not of u date so remote, uor is it so faintly writtou, as to require to bo recalled to your re- collodion. It has been identified for nearly thirty years, with tho civil ami commercial in terests of this city. I profer to couaitlur suc cinctly, tho benefits it may be capable of confer ring, upon all the classes, composing this com munity, in its practical operation. Within the sphoro of its ascertained jurisdiction, all con tracts, either oxpress or implied, may he speedily tried and terminated, and tho rights of parties litigant settled, without being eueompnsscu with delays, significantly termed, “ denials of justice.” Crimes falling within the description of 0 ~ t .... • minor oftuiioeft," infractions of law, nil of which tend to disturb tho good order, pcaca and tranquility of society, when “committed within the limits of the City of Savannah,” may be sneudily in vestigated, and promptly redressed before tins ti’ihtiiinl. Previous to the organization of this Court, tho accused was frequently confined for mouths, in tho cnimnnu jail, beforo ho could hu put upon his trial. Tho reprouch can now no longer lie made with truth, that to the accusation is siipuraddcd, protracted and loutluomu impris onment. There are, however, sources from which it may not ho extravagant to anticipate, tlmtsuhjccts limy multiply, yielding a temporary increase to minor oiVeiiccs. The miimndleled distresses (vliich have recently pervaded Europe, nro now hurrying vast throngs of her popula tion upon our shores. Tho tide of emigration flows fiitimr, in one unbroken current, bearing with it no inconsiderable portion of pauperism. Allured to this hemisphere, by tho hones of but ter fortune, or as offering a now ami more pro lific fiold for the operations of laborious industry, and fresh from regions, whore tho wholesotiio restraints of law have given place to tho rigors of oppression, they are liable to carry the privi leges of their now-horn liberty to tho verge of iicentiousueiM. We nmy hence reasonably ex pect an iucreaso of crimes, particularly in our Soa-ports, the progress of which can only ho ar rested, by the employment of moral influences, sustained by tho terrors of the law. Gentlemen, you may bo culled upou to act in two distinct ca pacities 1st, as a Grand Jury; ami 2d, as a .Special Jury. Within the legitimate range of your powers, as the Graud*Inquest for the City of Savannah, “ You will diligently inquire, nml true presentments moke, of nil such matters auil things us shall ho given you in charge, or shall coma to your knowledge.” Without entering into a lengthened detail of your duties, you may form a true estimate of them, by a simple anal ysis of the oaths yon have taken. In relation to all bills of itidictnteut, which may bo submitted to you by the Solicitor General, you will he res tricted U> tho cx-parte examination of witnesses. The law clothes you with no attribute to deetdo Upon the guilt or innocence of the accused; you will net upon tho bills, from the testimony fur nished by die prosecution alone, nml tied ie, whether it is sufficient to authorize you to return truo bills or not. It is incumbent on you, as a measure of equal justice to the accused, to scru tinize tho testimony that comes before you, dis passionately to scuu its consistency ami weigh its credibility. Some prosecutions may, purlmps, bo traced to tho impulse of private pique, or se cret resentment, while others uro instituted, to 5 ratify feelings of bitter and unrolcuting enmity. .■ the ends of justice cannot hu subserved wlmru these motives exist, hut on the contrary nro defeated, when the courts are employed as instru ments to pattdor to tho instincts of revongo, it would he wise mid just, to accompany your find ing of no bill with “uufouudod and malicious F irosecntion,” by which such prosecutors would ie subjected to the pavinent of costs, mid in future your tiiua and that of tho Court not uunecossnrily employed. Your scrvicos,gen tlemen, also nmy be called iuto requisition ns a Special Jury, to decide upou appeal cases, “ac cording to equity ami the opinion you eu- tain of tho evidence produced to you.” Tho le gislature have made it “the duly of the Judges of Huperior Courts of this State,at tho opening or tho commencement of every Court, to-give in chnrgn to tho Gand Juries respectively, tho substance of the sections in this cede relative to gambling,” ami against “trading witli negroes,” which I will road to you.

Resolved, That tie right of each Stato in thia confederacy to speak upon Fddoral questions becomos rfalf, whou the country la eugnged in War with h Foreign Power. GUi. Resolved, Therefore, that in tho exercise of this right, and tho discharge of this duty* We reiterate what the Congress of tho Uuitod States declared, Sat theVWar has boon brought upon us “by tho act of Mexico,” that It Is thorolbro just on our part, and should be vigorously prosecuted to an honorable und triumphant pence. 7th. Resolved, That if tho War has boon brought upon us “by Uie act of Mexico,” as was solemnly affirmed by a vote of Congress almost unanimous in tho Proambla to tho Act aforesaid, and if it bo, therefore, just on our part, no pence will bo considered by this Legislature honorable, without indemnity for tho post, nud socurity for theftituro. 8th. Resolved, That jf Mexico bo uunhlo to indmunily us for tho expenses of this War, mid to pay us tho debt owed by hot baton* its com mencement iu money, it is thu right mid the duty of our Government to exact from her ample ter ritorial indemnity. 9th. Resolved, That whou such territory shall have boon acquired from Mexico, either by treaty “Tisnotin hope to win The world’* vain smile, that thus l frequent pour My artless song;—’tis that tho cup runs o’er— 1 cannot koop within - Tho gushing thoughts that struggle to have way, Flowing in unpremeditated lay." Wo must close with tho first stanza to Susis, or by couquost, it becomes tho common proper ty of nil tho people of tho United StutoH, mid tho citizens of oach Stato with their property of any right to ni and ovory description havo tho and locate upon such territory. 10th. Resolved, That the principle contended for by some, commonly known by tho name of tho Wiliiiot Proviso, if adopted bv Congress, would he a palpable violation of tho Constitution of thu Uuitod states, an outnigo upon tho rights, and a gross insult to tho feelings of the Southern people, und dmigcroits to the existence of our proud aud glorious Union. 11th. Resolvad, That in tho opinion of this Legislature, Georgia should not, ami will not sup port any man for life Presidency who favors tho principles and provisions of tho Wilutnt Proviso. 12th. Resolved further, That inasmuch as a portion of tho northern ponplo. under thu luad of Goorgo M. Dallas, nml Janies Buchanan, uro rallying to the rescue of tho Constitution and thu Union, tho south note, as in I8J0 and ISM, will he found ready to meet them iu u generous spirit of reconciliation and harmony. All of which is respectfully submitted. JAMES JACKSON, JOHN ROBINSON, JOHN CARLTON, Minority Com. SAVANNAH* FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 31. 1817. f dRsHTjiSCSjsJ, CIv? J No Western mail lust evening.

Extract from tho minutes. M. S. D’LYON, Clerk. “I've pored o|or many a yellow page Of ancient wisdom, mid havo won, Perchance, a scholar’s name; yet sage Or poet ne'er have taught thy son Lessons ho pure, so fraught with holy truth. As those his mother’s faith shed o’er his youth. ” “I havo been blessed with other ties. Fond lies ami true, yet never deem That l the less thy fondness prize. No,-mother! in the warmest dream Of mi.swcrcd mission, thro* this heart of mine, Quo chord will vibrato to no name hut thiuo.” Minority Keport of tlie Committee on thuftlntc ol* the Jtepublie. Tho minority of the Committee on the State of tho Republic, to whom wore referred various resolutions in rulation to questions o ' Federal Policy, submit for Uie consideration of Uie House of Representatives the following report in tho form of Resolutions: 1st. Resolved,'That the Legislatures of Uie several States of this confederacy, huvu thu right to express their opinions freely ami fully upon all quostions of National Policy; that this right lias been exercised hy the disciples of tho Ropuhli- eau school, from tho days of Thomas Jefferson to thu present time, mid in tho State of Georgia, has never been questioned until within a period very recent, when a new party, formed upon principles never before cunsidered cardinal or orUiodox, litis avowed tho monstrous doctrine that tliis right does not exist, und should not he exorcised. 2d. Resolved, That tho Congron* of the Unit ed Hiatus lew no power under the constitution, to charter a Bank of the United Htntos, or to levy a Tariff of duties for any oUiur purpose tliuu to raise revenuo. 3d. Resolved, That if Congross does poisons such power, its exercise ut this time would lie Un necessary and unwise, hecuuse, in tho absence of a Bankofthe United States, mid under the whole some operation of tho Tariff Act of 184(1, the cur rency of the whole country is sound, its exchan ges exitulized and low, and its imports mid reve nues largely increased and increasing. 4th. Resolved, That tho distribution of the proceeds of the public lauds among the Stales,and (he appropriation of tho Revenues of the coun try to works ofinturnul improvement, are mea sures at all times to hu condemned upon princi ples of suiimf policy. But, at this timu,wUuu thu • whole resources of tho country are necessary to the prosecution of,the War with Mexico, such a distribution of the public funds, would bo unwise und rash iu the extreme. “Mother! thy namo is wisdom ; well I know no love of initio cuu tilt The waste place of thy hoart, nor dwell Within one sacred racuss; Htill, Lean on tho faithful bosom of thy sou, My parent! thou art moro—my’only one!” With the same fervor of holy youth are tho lines “To My Wife,” characterized: “Aliir from tlicc! 'Tis solitude, Though smiling crowds around mo ho, Tho kind, tho beautiful, the good, For I can only think of thee s Of thou, the kindest, loveliest, host, Mv earliest and my only one; Without lime, 1 mil all uublust, And wholly blent with thee alone.” The next Poem—“I loved thee when iu earlier years,” &e.., is beuutifully touching. . But where so much poetic feeling abounds it is a vain task to designate thoso must vindicative of a natural heart nml a cultivated miud. Wo wish all in tliis land of mocking-birds, “sweet warblers of the grove,” would road and ponder well tho advice of tho Poet—(P. 80.) “Spare, spure tho gentle bird, Nor do the warbler wrong; In the green wood is heard Its sweet mid holy song;” &c. Tho fervor of tho Poet at times breaks forth in patriotic strains, ns in tho lines to—"The fourth of July,”—commencing— Mainz, from her furthest border, gives tho first exulting shout, And from New Hampshiuk'* granite heights, the echoing pcairings out;” And GzonoiA, by tho dead who lie along Savan nah's l.luir, Full well we love thoe,liut we nu’ercau love theo well enough; From thy wild northern boundary, to thy green isles of the sea, Whore boat on earth more gallant hearts than now throb high iu thee ?” The religious hymns and epigrams, the ver sions of Psalms, tho Christinas enrols, thu songs on various subjects, (throe of lliuse in the Hcottish Vngnryot* tho tioannn.

They nro from tho pluutaiiau of Mr. Allen Rawlus, in Bulloch County. Who will l»o tho Whig Candidate ? To doteriiiiue from present indications who is to bo the nominee of tho Whig Convention for thu Presidency, would jm/.zlollio brain of a Wall Street Stock Jobber. Eight months ugo, before General Taylor had replied to tho various letters which were written to him for tho purpose of as certaining his views on political questions, his chnncesTor a nomination wero apparently over whelming. His answers, however, to tho ques tions they propounded, wero of such a character as to throw a dumper upou tho ardent nfluctions of sundry Federal politicians who hud hoped to make use of his military glory ns a moans of se curing their own corrupt ends. Tho position which he assumed wus not such ns to satisfy the veteran lenders of thu Federal party. That ho should nut have formed a definite opinion upon tho prbmitient political questions of the times, was a matter of amazement to curtain Northern politicians who have impressed themselves with the idea that die welfare of the Universe depends upon swindling, through the operation of legis lation, one portion of the country and the people, to build up mammoth fortunes for another. Had a sufficiency of tune elapsed to remove from their mouths the taste of tho hitter pill which they swallowed in Mr. Tyler, perhaps they might have been willing to havo ciiiug to Taylor and have taken the chances with him. A too recent expe rience, however, had taught them that there arc melt over whose opinions tho intellect even of the “God-like” Webster can exert no control; aud us their hopes had been wrecked upon Tyler, they shrunk with dismay from the remotest pro bability of winging a second dart that should quiver in their hearts. The influence of this class of politicians had become irresistible over tho na tional party, & hence General Taylor’s name was evidently dropped, nud nil eyes wero anxiously oil die look-out for the appuarauco of another nud more generally beneficent light. Teen it was that the Lion of tho West amused himself from his slumbers, “shook tho dew-drop. 1 from his mane,” und prepared to give n rallying roar. It wus plain thut before Mr. Cluy spoke ut Lexington, his was decidedly tho most prominent name for the Presidency before tho Whig party. Now that ho him spoken, it is obvious that it would have been far hottur for his own interests thut lie should not liuvu spoken at all. Bui the tic- iiiou did no moro purliuuciou.-dy follow tho foot steps of Faust than has Mr.Clay's evil genius dog ged him thro’ fife, forcing him to utter precisely the wrong tiling,at precisely tho wrong time, and iu precisely tho wrong way, and (lushing tho cup from his baud at the very moment when he fond ly thought it was touching his lips. Yet nro not the Whigs placed iu ns awkward a position ns their great leador I Is it Mr. Clay alouo who has been rejected, iu so conclusive a munuer, by the masses of tfio American peoplu, irrespective of party? They know that it is not, for upon the ovo of tho Lexington speech Mr. Clay was obviously a favorito. It is not thu man, but his son time ills from which the peoplo have shrunk with datestution. Mr. Clay made his futal mistake iu supposing that tho masses of his party wero disposed to reject Gen. Taylor, be cause he would not openly avow Federal princi ples. IIu consequently made his how to tin* leaders, to the wire-pullers, aud not to tho people of his party, and echoed opinions impressed upon the Federal prints of the land, hut never impressed upon tho hearts of tho people piuliuliug him tho masses havo repudiated his principles, and iu repudiating his principles have they not repudiated tho Federal parly or tho country ? The fact that once more tho public pyo seems to bo turned to General Taylor, as the Whig can- didate for the Presidency, is most conclusive evi dence of the diet flmtpntriotisiu has triumphed,and that tho Federal leaders have beou forced to bend before the moral seuse of the nation. Yet with out principles they cannot keep themselves to gether as a party, aud with a candidate who ven tures to avow their present principles, they can only expect a signal defeat. Not all the glory of all tho victories he has won would securo for Gen era! Taylor the support of a majority of tiro American people, iu caso lie should asstiiuo a similar nttitude with Mr. Clay. And yet unless he does assume such an attitude, how can lie be nominated by tho Whig Convention ? However ready Southern Whigs may he to go into his sup port, will his nomination bo nccoptablo to the an ti-acquisition aud Wilmot Proviso men of tho North? It is in this view of the case that it bernmesdu- hiotts how long thu Taylor star will remain in the ascendant. If nothing is to ho gained by his election, savo tho elevation of tho man, it is rea sonable to suppose that the eye of tho Whig par ty will ho turned in search of a candidate more suited to their purposes. Iu the moan timonheir principles nro growing daily moro unpopular.— Indue proportion tho course of tho Administra tions recommending itself to thu minds and hearts of tho people. Tho warmest advocates of General Taylor ut tho North are open in their commendation of tho acts aud mossago of tho President. Tho neutral papers throughout the country havo loudly expressed their disgust with the position of the Whig party as exhibited in the speech of Mr. Clay, nud in the proceedings of meetings hold in response to his pronnncuuncnlo; and there can he no doubt of the fact that the Federalists are losing, while the Democrats nro rapidly gaining, tho aflonlioiw of the masses. The course of tho latter is clear enough. Principles not tnon, has over boon their watchword. This is the only basis of truo party strength. Feeling* is transient, conviction of truth eternal. The love of this or thut hero, may be changed hy a word, or perisli with time, but principle cuu novor ho robbed of its truth, Us power its sanctity.* If Gen eral Taylor nnuouucu himselfih n Republican,de voted to thu principle* of Jutl'crseii, Madison, Senator. Valrflold. Wo announcod tho doatli of Mr. Fairfield yes terday on tho faith of a Telegraphic dusputch re ceived at tho offico of tho Republican. Ho died on Friday night. Tim Charleston Mercury says s—“Ho hail sub mitted to a surgical operation for dropsy, end died shortly after. Mr. Fairfield commenced life ns a sailor boy, subsequently became master of a vessel, then u member of tho Legislature of his Stuto, a Representative in Congress, Gover nor of tho Stato, and finally one of its representa tives in tho Senate of tho United_Stntes.” Wo notice in the Union of Friday, tliat Mr. Fairfield on Thursday reported iu tho Sountoa bill to pro vide for tho appoiutmout of assistant pursers in tho Navy, which vtos road twice and postponed for further consideration until Monday. From n Correspondent. MILLEDGKVILLE, Doc.28, (atnight.) Messrs. Editors—In niy letter of this morning, I havo falllen, inadvertently, into nit error, m stating that your Mayor had withdrawn from tho presiding officers of thu Senate and tho Ilouso, the pronmhlo aud resolutions of your Board of Aldormcu. The visit of that fiiuctiou- ary to this place, und tho fuct that neither thu President of the Senate nor tho Speaker of tho House had taken any notice of tho pruumblo ami resolutions by submitting thorn, ns requested, to the bodies ovpr which they respectively preside, wus the cause of tho error. On inquiry, I learn that tho President of tho Senate, when called on iu tho Senate, stated ho had tho preamble nud resolutions “somewhere among-his papers in* his room.” It was iuiinu- diatuly after this statement, that the Senate passed the preamble aud resolutions, I roferretl to this morning.

Easterly & Co.—Gents.—I have been afilictcd for about three years with n pulmonary complaint, which has limited the skill of several of the most eminent physicians of our country.— At times my cough was very severe, pain iti my side nud breast, and great difficulty in breathing. In this way .1 continued to sutler, until life lie- ctuno utmost a burden. At length I saw your ad vertisement of Dr. 8 way tie's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, and was pursunded by a friend of mine to make a trial of it, nml 1 purchased a bot tle of you. I utn happy to inform you that otto bottle has cll'crted a perfect cure, and that 1 mu now in the enjoyment of good health. I wake tliis statement in the form of u certificate, that otiiurs who may bo alilictcd, with such diseases may know where to find a valuable medicine.— Vou can use this testimony iu commendation of Dr. Bwuviic’s Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry as you think best. Yours, with respect, Wm. Carson. One Word of Caution.—Since tho introduc tion of my article to tho public, there have a number of unprincipled individuals got up nos trums, which they assort contain Wild Cherry; some nrectillod “Balsams," “Bitters,” and even Syrup of Wild Cherry,” but mine i« the origi nal ami only guuiiiiiu preparation ever introduc ed to thu public, which can bo proved hy the pub- lie records of the Commonwealth of I'euusylvn- uitt.

Another year is almost gone, How solemn is the thought; Oh may it fix in ov’ry heart The lesson that it ought. Another year—is joy tho theme ? Have wo improved the past, So that no shadow from its leaves Is o'er tho prospect cast ? Tho fading year—have wo fnllil’tl Each duty it assigned / Aud is its register to Heaven Iu confidence consigned ? Alas! Alas!—’tiswell that Heaven Is not forever closed, Against ofienders who so long In slumber have reposed. Nor slumber only, actual sin, Sin daring, dark and deep. Has marked its progress—e'en more dark Than spiritual sleep. But now anothor your begins, And Hcuvuu nmy still furbunr; “ Justice” may cry “destroy tho tree,” But “mercy" yet may spare.

Dr. Wilson, iu his travels through the lands of the Bible, last year, discovered on ilic route from tlm Red Sea to Mount Sinai, the immense moun tains alluded to by tho author of the Book of Job, as the source of the gold and silver of the early ages. From huge seams in the aides of Uie moun tains was the ore dug out, and all tho evidences of this mode of mining present themselves to the oyo. How the grooves or channels were cut out from such lofty heights to the huso of thu mountains, dues nut appear. Immense must have been the waste of life iu prosecuting the work.

Everybody knows that Wild Cherry pos sesses important medicinal properties—amt ’l’ar Water lias always been administered iu Consump tion, aud Lung all'uctioiis generally by our oldest and best physicians. This preparation embodies all tho virtnus of Tar aud Wild Cherry iu a much smaller compass than any other ever produced. Tho muuucr of preparing it, and its success in all Fuhnouary nml Inver nflectinns, conclusively prove tliis. We say confidently, no medicine everelfectcd such wonderful cures.
