Communicated. democratic meeting. A portion of the Democratic Party of Morgan County convened in theCourtliouse in Madison, on the 7th instant. Oti motion, Isaac Walker, Esq. was call ed to the Chair, and Thomas J. Burney ap pointed Secretary. The Chair called upon Thomas P. Saf fold, Esq. to explain the object of the meet ing,who, after a few remarks, submitted the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas, The members of the Legisla ture, and other citizens of the Democratic Party, at a public meeting, at Milledgeville, in December last, recommended the various Counties in the State to send Delegates to a Convention to be held in Milledgeville on the third Monday of this month, for the pur pose of nominating candidates for Congress; Resolved, That it is expedient that the Democratic Party of Morgan County be rep resented in said Convention. Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a Committee of seven to report a Preamble and Resolutions, and also to suggest the names of four individuals as suitable Dele- gates. The Chair appointed the Following gen tlemen the Committee contemplated by the second resolution : Thomas P. Saflbld, Esq. Colonel John B. Walker, lsham S. Fannin, Esq., Thomas Swift, Hugh A. Townsend, Dfiwson B. Lane, and William G. Evans, who, after retiring a short time,returned and reported, through their Chairman, Thomas P. Saflbld, Esq., the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were also unanimously adopted: The Committee to whom was assigned the duty of presentiug resolutions expressive of the views of this meeting, deem the present occasion altogether appropriate to an expres sion of opinion in relation to some of the leading measures of the Party now in pow er. They succeeded in the late Presidential canvass by the most lavish profusion of pro mises, and a system of electioneering and humbuggery unparalleled in the histotyof our Government, and which reflected any thing but credit upon as an enlightened and patriotic people. None of these promises have been performed: and, instead of the prosperity which many of our fellow-citizens expected to enjoy, nothing is now to be seen from one extremity of the country to the oth er but the most unexampled distress, and a perfect stagnation in every trade of industry, agriculture and commerce. Nor have the expenditures of the Government been di minished, or its patronage dispensed for the benefit of the whole Country : on the con trary, one has been increased to an enormous extent, and the other used as an engine of oppression to many faithful and well-tried public servants. But, while they have not performed any of these promises, they have succeeded in the enactment of measures which in their operations will be destructive of the best interest of the Country. They have passed a Bankrupt Law, which, in its leading provisions, is unconstitutional, un just, and partial in its operations; a Law giving to the States the proceeds of the pub lic lands, calculated in its tendency to des troy the Independence of the States—to make them tributary to the General Govern ment, and to diminish the revenue in order to supply the deficiency by an increase of the Tarilf; and they have attempted to fasten upon the Country an odious and unconstitu tional Bank, from which we were only saved by the Veto of their own President. Their great leader, and candidate for the Presi dency, also made an effort to strike from the Constitution the Veto power, which, if suc cessful, would have placed all our rights at the mercy of a bare majority of Congress; and they are now making an assault upon the rights of the States by interfering with their right to elect members to Congress in their own way ; and, to crown all. thev are also attempting to raise a Protective Tariff, to which all parties at the South have ever been opposed, and which, if carried into ef fect, will sacrifice our interest to that of the Manufacturer’s and stock-jobber’s of the North. Therefore, be it Resolved, That there is no power confer red upon Congress by the Constitution to in corporate a Bank, and that the exercise of such a power would be wholly inexpedient. Resolved, That a Tariff, for protection, is unconstitutional, iniquetous and unjust, and that in adjusting a Tariff for revenue, the common necessaries of life, such as sugar, coffee, iron and salt, ought, as far as practi cable, to be exempt from taxation. Resolved, That the Bankrupt and Distri bution Laws, passed at the late extra session of Congress, are, in their operation, destruc tive of the best interest of-the Country, and ought to be repealed. In conclusion, we suggest Milton G. Davis, Dr. E. C. Lawrence, LS. Fannin, Esq. Th: P. Saffold, Esq, as suitable Delegates to the ensuing Conve ntion, and that they have power to fill any va cancy which may happen. A motion was then made, and carried,that the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and forwarded to the editors of the “ Federal Union” and “Constitutionalist” for publication. On motion of Dawson B. Lane, the meet ing was then adjourned. ISAAC WALKER, Chairman. Thomas J. Burney, Secretary. The distilling business is fast running down.

MADISON, GEO : Saturday, June 11, 1842. TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS. An unusual press of matter has compelled us to defer until our next publication “ Reflections on a visit to the Grave of my Grand-father,” by Eccentrio, and “ Honor and Glory,” a scrap from the recollections of ** J. Brown, Poet, of Pinchback”—both of which nre in type. “ Noah Doolittle’s desertation on Fishing,” by B. A. P. was received too late for this number. It shall have a place in our next. The writer will please continue his favors : he can render us great assistance. CONTROVERSY. We consider the remarks of “One of the People” entitled to admission into our col umns, and the attention of our readers, not because we have formed an opinion in his favor, and against the Inferior Court, and wish to make it public, but upon the ground of right which the people have to complain of any public act which they deem a grie vance. We are unwilling to become the organ of any mere war of words, or of any controversy leading to personal animosity anjl abuse. But in this land of popular liberty, the press cannot be muzzled against the promulgation of any sentiments affect ing the public welfare; and we hope we may never live to see the day when the con ductors of public journals will be compelled to shut out complaints of the people through fear from any quarter. Whenever any subject of controversy is presented by a correspondent, and we deem it important in any degree to have the truth settled, and more particularly, if it is a mat ter involving the rights of the people, and disconnected with political party, we shall most cheerfully, if need be, keep our col umns open for discussion until the argument is exhausted. If any are disposed to reply to “One of the People,” the “Miscellany” is at their service. The matter in dispute is certainly of some consequence, and may well receive the attention of those who can think and write. THE TALE To which we invite the attention of our readers upon our first page, was furnised by a Macon contributor—an esteemed friend —who, in a letter accompanying the MS., observes: “You will find this in the last December number of‘Godey’s Lady’s Book,’ where some would-be lady writer has had the un blushing effrontery to claim an almost literal translation as the coinage of her her own brain. It is a fact, that a great many of the contributions to the ‘New World,’ ‘Gra ham’s Lady’s and Gentleman’s Magazine,’ and ‘Godey’s Lady’s Book,’ are translations, and some of them do no credit to the origin al—but, as we say in Georgia, why the don’t they acknowledge the corn. It is true, this game has been played for many years by the English on the French, and vice versa. In the course of my desultory readings of late years, I have detected quite a number of similar appropriations, which deserve no softer name that literary thefts. I am not inclined to be pugnacious, but were I an editor, I would take some pains to ex pose these bastard ‘originals!’ ” The tale we give to-day, is so altered that it would not be recognized by the readers of “Godey’s Lady’s Book.” MORGAN AGAINST BURRE COTTON BOLLS. We have been presented, by L. Graves, Esq., with three stalks of Cotton from the plantation of Mr. Reuben J. Butts, of this County, each three feet high, exclusive of the roots, having, together, at this early season of the year, seventy-six squares, blooms and bolls—eight of the latter being as large as partridge eggs. We are informed that the stalks before us are a fair specimen of his crop generally, and that his prospect for a good Cotton crop was never better than at this time. We think Morgan is several weeks a-head of “old Burke” in the Cotton line. The stalks can be seen in our Read ing Room. THE CONVENTIONS. The two political parties of the State meetin convention in a few days to nominate members of Congress, and talk over the sub ject of the next presidency. The premoni tory breezes of the approaching storm of political strife, are already rippling the wa ters ; and if we are not mistaken, in our view of the prospect before us, our conntry is soon to pass through scenes as tumultuous as those of 1840. We like to see the con tention for truth in politics as well as on oth er subjects. We desire to see the people jealous of their rights, whether their opini- jj m Hi s ons are right or wrong, but we deprecate the effect of party violence upon our free institu tions, and upon the moral and mental charac ter of the people. We should suppose the United States had had experiertce enough of the baneful effect of angry patty strife to avoid it, but unless we greatly misjudge the signs of the times, a tornado isjapproaching. COTTON, A friend has furnished us With the follow ing statement, showing the amount of Cot ton received at this place, from the first of October to the last of May, (eight months,) to have been 19,389 bales, viz : In October, 1841, ii 1,265 bales, In November, : : : 3,981 bales, In December, : : : 2,9G7 bales, In January, 1842, : : 3,104 bales, In February, : : : : 3,507 hales, In March, : : : : : 2,771 bales, In April, : : : : : 2,018 bales, In May, : : : : : 776 bales. Os this amount, there has been sold in this place, during the same time, 7,300 bales. MADISON LYCEUM. The members of the Madison Lyceum, we are requested to state, will hold their meeting at the room formerly occupied by Col, William Woods, as a Billiard Room, on Monday evening next, at half past 7 o’clock. Question for Discussion : “ Ought Foreign Emigration to be encouraged ?” Disputants: Affirmative, Messrs. Overton and Pratt—Negative, Messrs. Fannin and Barry. A full attendance is requested, as it will be necessary for the adoption of a Constitution and code of By-Laws, and the election of officers. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. We are generally indebted to the “Chroni cle and Sentinel,” Augusta, for the Foreign news which appears in our columns. N. B. The Editor should have given us credit for an extract of a letter published in his tri-weekly of Tuesday last. He credited the Athens “ Banner” for four lines on the same subject! BITTEN BY A SNAKE. On Thursday of last week, a lad some seven years of age, son of Mr. John S. Wal ker, of this place, was bitten on the third joint of his middle finger by a snake called the Highland Mockeson, but, we are happy to learn, has nearly recovered from its ef fects, although, for several days, his life was despaired of. o?=* We acknowledge our indebtedness to the Hon. James A. Meriwether for sev eral interesting Public Documents, which can be seen and perused in our Reading Room. Are a rather small subject for a paragraph, but they are a great source of annoyance. The air for several nights has been filled with thepi, to such a degree that it has been Im possible to remain in a lighted room, with a window raised, with any comfort. They love light rather than darkness, although their deeds, so far we know them, are evil. We are not about to curse the bugs as we have beard some of our friends do, nor re commend the formation of a bug-extermina* ting-society, but if then; is a naturalist among our readers, we hope he will give us their origin, habits and uses. NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY. The Maine Legislature, by a vote of 30 to lin the Senate, and 177 to 11 in the House, have appointed Edward Kavanaugh, John Otis, William P. Preble, and Edward Kent, Commissioners, to act with the Gene* ral Government in the settlement of the North-Eastern Boundary Line. tt"r*The Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, is reported to have been killed in a recent affiay in the vicinity of Nauvoo. Boggs, of Missouri, who was recently shot by an assassin, according to the last accounts from Independence, was still alive, and faint hopes were indulged of his possible recovery. Picayune says : “ A tetotaller, who had his arm severely hurt yesterday, could not be persuaded by the doctor to put it in a sling.” purses won by Boston since be has been on tho turf, amount to $50,500. Hon. A. W. Snider, the demo cratic candidate for the office of Governor of the State of Illinois, died recently at his residence, in Bellville, St. Clair county. Philadeldhia Times of thfe 12th says, that within twenty-four hours from that date, five houses in Front-street had stop ped business and shut up. ftT-A recent village debate in Vermont, upon the question, “ ought a young man to follow a gal after she gives him the mittenl” was duly argued pro and con—and then the President decided that “ be had n’t ough’ter.” The “ Colonel” says the President decided correctly. husband in Philadelphia advertises his wife—will pay no debts of her contract ing, &e.

Km, The amount of American Tobacco, con sumed in Europe, in 1840, is stated at 86,- 396 hogsheads—costing here $6,450,820, and on which the European Goverments derived a revenue of $35,071,821; it is estimated that one thousand religious conversions have taken place at LoWell, Mass;, since the first of January; At an Armory in Springfield nearly 400 operatives are employed, who sustain in po pulation of about 2000. Suit is aboilt to be instituted against the corporation of Philadelphia for the recovery of a large amount of the Stephen Girard fund which has been lost and squandered. 3mm, lS The U. S.

Thomas Jefferson Randolph, grand-son of President Jefferson, has been lately elect ed to,the Virginia Legislature, from Alber tnarle County. Matrimony is like Masonry—not one knows the secret until he is initiated. It is like an feel-trap—very easy to get into but plaguy hard to get out of. It is, in the first stage, like a wind that fans the flame of love hut too much fanning blows it all out. It is every thing contradictory—sweet or bit ter, just as it is taken. In short, it is Like a glaring light, Placed in a window on a summer’s night, Alluring alt the insects of the air To come and singe their pretty winglets there; Those who are out butt heads against the pane, Those who ore in butt to get out again. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Arrival of the Columbia. The British Royal Mail Steamship Co lumbia, arrived in Boston on the morning of the 2d, at 6 o’clock. The money market remained just about the same as at the last previous dates. We have Ho improvement to notice in trade. On the contrary, the dullness which had for some time prevailed, has, if possi ble, increased. People seem to have made up their minds to enter upon no business transactions whatever, until the new tariff shall have passed into law. On Tuesday afternoon, the pressure for money on the Stock Exchange became so severe for a short time that some of the job bers had to pay as high as at the rate of 10 percent, per annum, for accommodation for a few days, but the market soon recovered. Money is abundant. Good hills can be discounted at 3 per cent.; and many of the first merchants, instead of employing their capital in the ordinary way of business, are seeking for its investment on loan—fortunate if they can obtain 4 J per cent. The Queen’s great Ball Masque Was the most splendid affair of the kind ever got up. The English papers are full of the particu lars. The Limerick Chronicle states that there was snow on the Kerry mountains, in Ire land, on the 15th. A successful experiment had been made in London, by several distinguished physi cians, in removing a cataract from the eye by means of galvanism. The subject creat ed a good deal of interest. Seven more ships, with sixteen hundred troops had sailed for India, which shows a determination on the part of the government to push the war against Affghanistan. There continued to be a great many failures in the commercial business of London, and also in the manufacturing towns. One of the heaviest houses in Manchester stopped payment oil the 14th. The southern counties of England had suffered somewhat from drought, while in the northern part the season was quijp wet. On the whole vegetation was quite promis ing. The disturbance in some portions of Ire land still continued, and were generally traceable to the excitement on the subject of “ repeal.” The country in and about Tipperary wds in a very excited condition. There was a terrible explosion of a dis tillery, in Church street, Lambeth, on the 13th, but a short distance from the place of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Several persons were injured. A column of ignit ed spirit was thrown upwards of fifty feet into the air. A disturbance of a rather “serious and somewhat extraordinary character took place at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Broad green near Croydon. A correspondent writes from Java, that in the morning of November 14th an erup tion of tho Goenseng Goentocr Mountain, in the district of Preanger took place with violent subterraneous noises, which lasted till three in the afternoon, covering the earth to the extent of ten miles around with sand and cinders to various depths, from 2 to 5 inches, damaging a great space of cultiva ted ground, and upwards of 400,000 coflee trees. Mr. Washington Irving delayed his de parture for Spain, in consequence of a specil invitation to the queen’s ball. Eight new islands in the Pacific, are’ sta ted by the Cape papers, to have been dis- covered by an English whaler; they are fertile) inhabited, arid of considerable ex tent. A curious discovery of a Roman villa, with Various antiquities, has been made at Comberton, in Cambridgeshire. It is des cribed nearly as perfect some of the houses at Pompeii. The sloop Fan tome,- commanded by Cap tain Butterfield, has captured 19 slave ves sels, and liberated 2261 slaves during the twenty months she has been employed on the coast of Angola. A gieat fire is announced to have befallen the Austrian town of Sterjer, not [far from Lintz, where 400 houses were consumed, and threeffourths of the inhabitants, who were celebrated for their iron manufactures, were left without shelter. A private letter from Munich, of the 11th inst., states, that the utmost exertion were being made at Berlin, Frantfort, Augsburg, and in fact throughout Germany, to collect subscriptions for the sufferers by the late calamitous fire at Hamburg. It was feared that many of the German insurance compa nies would be seriously compromised by that event. It was said that a company at Gotha would lose 10,000,000 florins. THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. The only remarkable feature in she pro ceedings of the British parliament is the in troduction of a bill by Sir James to continue the new poor-law five years longer, and to abolish the unions constituted under what is commonly called Gilbert’s Act, in order that the law may be uniform throughout the country. Sir Robert Peel was still carrying out his measures with a strong hand ; and his “man ageable majority” came fully up to the scratch and obeyed his behests as fully and fervently as he could desire. There Was merely a show of opposition by the liberal whigs, out of respect to the past adminis tration ; but still coupled with a disposition to give the Premier plenty of rope, and hold him responsible for the use of it. An examination into certain election frauds had disclosed a system of profligacy without a parallel in the history of repre sentation. Mr. Roebuck had made himself very conspicuous iu ferreting out these frauds. Several members of the Commons had left their seats and gone home, rather than suffer an investigation as to the means by which they got there. Among them were mem bers from Lowes, Harwich and Penryn. DESTRUCTION OF ONE FIFTH OF THE CITY OF HAMBURU BY FIRE. The city of Hamburg, the great com mercial emporium of Germany, one of the most flourishing on the continent of Europe, is a heap of ruins. Her merchants were rejoicing at the prospect held out to them by the promised improvements in our com mercial tariff: now they are mourning over their richly stored warehouses in ashes, their houses devoured by the flames, and their prospects of increasing prosperity scattered to the four winds of heaven. The fire, which broke out on Wednesday night, the 14th inst., and which, there is eve ry reason to believe, was the wo'rk of an incendiary, extended to fifty-two streets, most of which were reduced to ashes. On a rough calculation, the loss of property was from three to four millions sterling, but it is lielieved that the total loss will be double that amount. No person can tell how ma ny lives were lost, but a great number of persons must have perished. The canals through the city were dry, so that no water could be found. The fire raged from Wed nesday night till Saturday morning; On the latter day, at nine o’clock, the Danish, Hanoverian, and Prussian troops entered the town, and, being well supplied with gunpowder, commenced blowing up the houses to arrest the progress of the flames. This was completely effected by Sunday morning. The Senate ordered eve ry person to leave town, and nothing could exceed the heart-rending spectacle of thou sands of poor people frantic with tueir losses, and without the means of procuring food or shelter. The destruction of Hamburg is one of those calamnities which will be felt in every part of the commercial world. Great as may be the credit of the Senate and people of Hamburg with foreign States a century will elapse before the city can be replaced in all the prosperity destroyed by the con flagration. In the midst of the confusion an incident occurred characteristic of the government and the people. A public no tice was every where put up, stating that a vault Under the bank, containing the gold and silver bars, were fire-proof, and that the bank books were all removed in perfect safety. TERRIBLE RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT'. A deplorable catastrophe took place oil Sunday evening week, on the Versailles and Mendon Railway, by which one hundred and twenty persons were killed, or have since died of their wounds, and many maim ed and wounded. In honor of the King’s fete, the water works in the gardens of Versailles were playing on Sunday, which attracted immense crowds from Paris. The train to Which the dreadful accident occurred left Versailles for Paris at half past five o’clock in the af ternoon, and Was crowded with passengers. “ There were,” says one account, “ seven teen or eighteen wagons, with two engines before and one behind. The velocity was excessive. When l>e tween Bellevue and Mendon, the axletree of the first machine broke, and, stopping, the second ran ovei it, killing the stoker, and breaking the first machine in pieces, spilt its fire on the ground. Instantly six or seven wagons were broken in pieces, and the rest, running over the live fire of the broken en gines, burst into flames. It is the custom on the Left Bank Railroad for the doom of the wagons to bo closed, without any pos sibility of opening them except by keys in the hands of the conductors. No conduc tors were forthcoming, and thus the inmates of three of the wagons were burned.” FRANCE. The Gazette des Tribunaux states that a number of persons were arrested, on Thurs day and Friday week, in Paris. The police, was for gome lime past and had been on the search for a manufactory of projectiles, dis covered a vast number of incendiary bomb shells at the residence of a tailor, in the Passage Violet. A quantity of gunpowder and cartouches, just made, were discovered in other quarters. Amongst the persons ar rested are Considere, witohad been twice tried and acquitted before the Chamber of Peers, and Poncelet, who was convicted of having been engaged in the consnirafcy of Rue des Pronvaires amnestied. Domicili ary visits were made throughout Paris on Saturday, particularly in the neighborhood of Faugurgs St. Antone, of St. Denis,’ and the Temple. The keeper pT a wine shop in the Rue des Marais du Temple Was ar rested. It is added that the late Captures were made in consequehce of information furnished by Quenisset. Others pretent that the information was given to ilie Pre fect of Police by the amie of one of the parties, who had since disappeared, arid was said to have been killed and thrown into the river, by the conspirators. Private let ters state that the projectiles Seized Were of glass, and in the nature of hand grenades, intended for the destruction of the King by being thrown into and exploding in his car riage. ■ The investigation which commenced im* mediately after the discovery of the project tiles, bombs, See., in the Passage Violet and otherplaces, is still pursued, says the Gazette des Tribunaux, with activity. The number of arrests up to Thursday amounts to about ten. All the objects Seized have been de posited at the Registrar’s office. The pro jectiles are fiiade in a perfectly new manner. A stone bottle, and very thick, serves as the envelope: this is covered with a thick Coatt of the inflammable matter which is applied to the extremity of those matches called chimiques allemandes. Inside, a quantity of powder and bullets are strongly presSeu together, so as to produce a terrible explo sion, if the inflammable coating of the bot tle should come in contact with any resisting body. Numerous Witnesses have been al ready heard, and they are soon to be cod fronted with the prisoners. The Presse, oh Monday, states that it was the intention of certain members of the Chamber of Deputies to adtfrb&i an inquiry to Mr. Guizot as to whether he had signed, or intended to sign, the right of search trea ty, and that his reply would be in the nega tive. He adds, that no minister, in the pre sent state of public feeling on the subject, would dare to affix his signature to that do cument ; and even goes so far as to affirm that the treaties of the year 1821 and 1833 will be revoked. However this may be* there does appear to be a doubt that France will not ratify the engagements into Which she has entered in reference to the right of search treaty. India. There are no later dates from India than were brought by the last previous arrival f but the English papers contaih a mass of se lections from Calcutta Journals which are highly interesting. The financial condition of India appears to le disastrous in the extreme. This seems to be owing to two prominent causes. In the first place the rash attempt to occupy Afghanistan has cost the government alrea dy nearly <£20,000,000, a great share of which enormous sum has been drawn from the legitimate channels of trade. In the next place theie is now no resolute money power like the old Company monopoly, cap able from its ready means and unbounded credit of controlling half the finances of the world.
