THE ELECTION
On Monday last, resulted as wo antici
pated, and has, we hope, taught our whig
friends a lesson which will profit them in
time to come. But for the close adhesion of
die minute particles which compose the
mighty mass, the Stone Mountain itself
would he blown about by the winds, the
,port of every gale. So with a political
party —without firm union and concert, the
integrity of our principles will avail us no
thing in our contests for place and power,
and the offices ct trust and honor will for
mer be enjoyed by the minority, whose
policy and practice it is to “divide and con
quer.” Individually vve have no reason to
complain of the result, but “ it is the cause;
the cause” —for it, we would have the
whig* of Morgan united and firm as the
Roman phalanx, that victory might not on
ly” perch,” as the saying is, but make her
home and abiding place upon our standard.
We have no reason to complain of the
vote cast in our county for Gen. Clinch,
though, if the contest had been a regular
one, we believe bis majority would have
been much larger. The following is a stale
mont of the votes polled :
For Congress,
GEN. DUNCAN L. CLINCH, 113
GEN. J. w. A. SANFORD, (I) ) 269
For Sheriff’,
JOHN S. WALK.HR. (D.) 263
HILLIARD M. HARRIS. 21G
RICHARD J. WILLio. SO
JAMES O'NEAL, GO
For Clerk Superior anil Inferior Com Is,
JOHN C. REES. (D.) 395
ERNEST L. WITTICH, 277
For Receiver of Tux Returns,
JOHN R. HUBBARD, 457
BENJAMIN W. BEARD, 159
For Tar Collector,
THOMAS V. ALLEN. (D.) 154
JOHN LAUNIUS, ISO
For County Surveyor,
WILLIAM L. WEST. 4G5
For Coroner,
RICHARD DOWNS, 452
Wc have received returns from only two
counties—Richmond and Cobb. In Rich
mond, Gen. Clinch’s majoiity over Sond
thid is 305 votes. In Cobb, Clinch’s ma
joiity is G, showing a gain since October—
when Mr. Cooper’s majority was 52—of 5S
votes. Clinch’s majority in DeKalb is re
ported to he about 100 votes, and in Ogle
tlirope about 400. He has also gained
largely upon Crawford's majorities in New
ton and Greene, but we have teceived no
returns of the polls, even from these adjoin
in'counties. We run no risk in saying that
General Clinch is elected by a majority of
nt least 5000.
(T/*’ By this morning’s mail wc have te
ceivcd returns from Taliaferro, Baldwin,
Columbia and Burke. General Clinch’s
majorities are —in Taliaferro, 277—in Co
lumbia, 203—in Bmke, ISO. General
Sanford’s majoiity in Baldwin is G3 votes.

LOCOFOCO LOGIC.
The severest hit at the last Whig Legis
lature that vve have seen is from the “ Ma
con Telegraph.” After blowing the Whig
party sky-high for neglecting to fulfil promi
ses which vve never heard of before, the
editor makes the grave charge that “ the
members of the Legislature instead of re
ducing their own salaries, actually increased
them, but,” says lie, “in the cunningest
“ay imaginable.” He says that the Demo
cratic Legislature of last year received their
pay in Central money at a discount of 30
to 50 per cent. But the W higs (the cun
ning dogs) received their pay, this year, in
par funds, without any diminution to their
per diem. Now, reader, is not that most
11 oudacious 1” to go and legislate the cur
rency of the country into a sound condition,
*nd then receive their pay in it at the
lame rates that the democrats were paid in
Democratic currency ! Me must confess
that nothing short of a Georgia Whig legisla
ture could concoct such a nefarious scheme.
The Democrats (honest souls) voted them
selves increased pay, and increased the taxes
while the country was till groaning under
the burthen of a depreciated currency—the
“higs revive the currency and credit of the
State, vote no increase of tax, but save some
16 or $17,000 in the expenses of the session,
and arc now reviled because they, in com
mon with us all, get better money for their
lurvices than we , did or ever would have
received while the State was under locofo
to rule. We will be excused for entertain
ing a very meagre opinion of the common
sense of an editor who is stupid enough to
insult the intelligence of the country with
aucli ridiculous, flimsy sophistry. Increas
ed their salaries, indeed ! as if the people
“ere not as much benefited by the regener
ation of the currency of the State as are
l he members of the Assembly whose sound
iegislation has brought it about.

mtiat he our apology for the late appearance
of tjje “ Miscellany” this morning.
CLAY CLUII.
It has been suggested to us by several of
our Whig fiiends that the proper time Inis
arrived for the formation of a Clay Club in
our County. We approve the suggestion,
and beg leave to call the attention of the
W higs of Morgan to the subject. In com
mon with the Whigs of the Union, we have
now but one great object in view—the ele
vation ol the great American Patriot and
Statesman, Henky Clay, to the Presidency
—to effect which, it becomes us as tme
Whigs—as men who love our country and
seek to perpetuate its institutions—to use
every honoiable means iri our power. Ex
perience lias proven that primary organiza
tions—such as are now forming throughout
the Union, under tile denomination of Clay
Clubs—are among the most efficient meas
ures that can be adopted for the advance
ment of our cause. By them vve aie bio’t
together in council, and united in our efforts,
and through them vve have facilities for the
dissemination of political truth, such as can
be secuied in no other way. Besides the
numerous reasons which vve might urge why
such an association should be formed, there
is one which should not be overlooked.—
Mr. Clay is now in N.Orleans, from whence
he designs making a tour through Georgia
and Carolina to Washington. He is expect
ed to pass through Madison, and vve have
understood flora various sources that it is
the desire of the \Y higs of the upper and
middle sections of the State to meet him
here. Certainly no point could he mote el
igible fui. a mass meeting, in which the ex
tremes of the State might be brought togeth
er; and wo sincerely hope it maybe adopted.
But whether Madison he chosen ns the site
of the great Whig demonstration or not, vve
should, foi the honor of our County, be pre
pared to receive biin in a becoming manner,
and to tender to him the hospitality, which,
as Georgia Whigs, we owe so distinguished
a Statesman of our own faith.
In view of all these considerations, vve
have thought it advisable to suggest some
early day for a meetirg in this place of the
Whigs of Morgan, for the purpose of form
ing a Clay Club, and to designate Satur
day, the 13lli instant, as a suitable day for
the meeting.
THE BEST JOKE OF THE KIND!
lii the “National Intelligencer’s” report
of the proceedings of the House, on the
291 h ultimo, a very appropriate ‘ittle speech
is set down to Mr. Steenmd of Virginia,
on the motion to adjourn over Monday in
order that the New Year 1844 might lie
ushered hi with becoming bonois. The re
marks excited it u s coi responding reflections,
and in our mind vve voted Mr. S. a very
clever sermonize! - , notwithstanding lie is a
Locofoco—but judge our surprise, oti open
ing the very next “ Intelligencer” to see a
card from that gentleman denying that be
ever made the speech lepoited. Ap
pended to the card is an explanatory note
by the Reporter, in which be attempts to
explain the matter to the satisfaction of the
Honorable member and the reader. lie
says that tbo“ habit of listening to debates
and hoarding up by the pen, or in the mind,
with a view to report, the ideas of other
men,” lias wrought such a chaos iri his think
ing machinery that lie is often at a loss to
know his own thoughts from those of any
body else, and vice versa; and that when
the motion was made to adjourn for the
purpose of observing the lites of the New
Year, be fell a-lhiuking bow strange these
reckonings were, and how probable it was
that many who made them then would make
them no more forever—that thus the motion
and reflection got, by degrees, huddled and
confused together in that laboratory in which
he brews Congress speeches, until his pen,
following the impulse of his brain, brought
up the motion with a speech which did not
belong to it, and which—since be has sought
in vain for someone to father it—lie is quite
satisfied was never made. This is not the
first time that we have read speeches that
were manufactured at the Reporter’s desk,
but it is, we believe, the first instance on
record of an honorable member disclaim
ing a tolerable production in toto. Report
ers should always allow honorable gentle
men to try on their speeches privately, and
be well assured of a good fit, before they
clothe them in public with their own elo
quence.
VIRGINIA.
A Committee of the Whig members of
the Virginia Legislature have published a
circular to the Whigs of that State, chang
ing the time of holding the State Convention
from the 22d to the 7tli February, The
following are the concluding rematks of
the Committee :
“ Whigs of Virginia! we earnestly invite
a numerous attendance of the party on this
interesting occasion. Never were its pros
pects more bright and cheering. Never
were the presages of Wlfg triumph
more distinct and striking. One ur.ited
and vigorous effort will secure success.—
Let us make it.”

SOUTH CAROLINA.
The chivalry of Carolina is struggling to
break the degrading fetters that have bound
that noble State to the altar of Locofocoism.
From the seaboard to the mountains her
sons are arousing from their lethargy, and
the beacon fires of whiggery are kindling
where once they blazed so brightly in the
darkest hour of the revolution. True, the
V bigs me yet in the minority in Carolina—
but it is not in the temper of her people to
bionk the weasel policy, by which her favor
ite Calhoun has been more than once duped
by the syctopliantie time-serving dema
gogue, Van Buren—and their honest indig
nation once fairly roused, they will turn
from him to the support of Mr. Clay, a
Statesman whose talents and patriotism they
have never had reason to doubt, and who,
if he does tint accord with them in every
minutia of political creed, has the manly
frankness, boldly to proclaim bis principles
to the country. The Clay Club of Charles
ton, has entered the campaign with a zeal
and eneigy worthy of the cause. The fol
lowing is the Address of the Club to the
people of Carolina:
“ The members of the Clay Club of
Charleston, deem it natural and proper, on
their organization, to addles? their Whig,
brethren throughout the State. As the
mime of our association imports, we have
united ourselves for the purpose of promot
ing, by all possible means in our power, the
election as President, for the next term, the
eminent statesman of the West, HENRY
CLAY. It is true that we are in a minor
ity in the State, but it is the singular excel
lence of our republican institutions, that the
l ight of opinion and action is in every way
secured to the minority ; and as every right
implies a corelative duty, vve regard it not
only as a pi ivilege, but a sacred duty, to
express our sentiment and carry them forth
into operation in such modes as circumstan
ces may admit; nesidcn this, as South Caroli
nians, we are proud to maintain the moral
influence, entirely independent of numbers,
to which our State has always owed her
high standing in the confederacy, believing
that even a Carolina minority will never be
without some weight in any conjuncture of
interest and importance. If union is
strength, we are assuredly strong. If dis
coid is debility, then are our opponents as
suiedly weak—there are democrats of eve
ry conceivable shade of opinion—some car
ry the flag of free trade, and cry down with
the custom house—many are for direct tax
es—some are ready to die for protection
and tariffs, tile worst rather than none—
some maintain the uucontvoluble rights of
majorities—others the divine right of church
es and constitutions—each contends for
stiict pr’uciple—each denounce expediency
and insist on abstract and stringent con
st me! ion. How can such men combine?—
what bands are thereto bind them together?
We on the other hand, avoiding all dissen
tion, which in so vast a country must decide
questions from time to time arising between
the opposite interests of sections widely
distant from each other, and engaged in
puisuits seemingly contrasted. Satisfied
that the theory of free trade, however beau
tiful p.nd plausible it may appear to the phi
losopher and philanthropist, can no more he
carried out by the practical statesman than
the delightful dream of universal peace.
“We are content to modify and improve
the protective system to that of a discrimi
native tariff which shall be arranged in the
manner least buidensome and most advan
tageous to all portions of our citizens—as
friends of credit, but the enemies of all
sorts of spurious money, we look to the
wisdom of Government for the means of a
sound and adequate currency, and renounce
as a hollow fallacy the divorce between
bank and state. Satisfied of the infinite
value to all of the good name and honest
character of every member of the confede
racy. we w ould aid each State to sustain
itself and liquidate its just debts by appro
priating to each its shate of the sale of the
public lands which belong alike to all.—
Agreeing thus upon important measures,
we profess an unequivocal preference for
the man best qualified to advocate and pro
mote them—a preference unanimous and
enthusiastic. We have no name before us
but that of Henty Clay, with him for our
sole leader our victory is certain. We shall
not waste lime in setting forth his clain.s to
our zealous support, our unahoiiriding con
fidence—lie who is not familiar with them
either as a friend or foe, knows nothing of
the history of his country for the last half
century, on every page of which is set forth
his eloquence, his patriotism, his wisdom.
“ Finally, we would urge upon our friends
every where the propriety of immediately
organizing themselves. We are ready to
affiliate with every Clay Club found within
the State upon principles of entire equality,
and if any considerable extension of the sys
tem should be effected, we would suggest
the advantage of union and connection by
means of occasional correspondence or con
vention. We are not hopeless of success in
the attempt to release our beloved South
Carolina from her adhesion to Van Buren,
and destructive parly of radicals which un
der bis lead and that of the stiong dema
gogue of Missouii, who is nioie his master
than his follower, threaten ruin to our insti
tutions, nod menace us with the change and
anarchy of ever changing majorities. We
cannot believe that n community like oms,
full of confidence in our well managed
banks, and defending our state bank against
the attacks even of a popular Governor,
shall continue to sue for a divorce between
government nnd banks, when our own pri
vate connection of that sort is found so
worthy of defence and continuance, norask
for any exclusive metalic currency while
sanctioning the issue of bills in all direc
tions, and in every convenient amount. —
These inconsistencies will not long lemaiti
to annoy us—and our honorable pride in the
American name will, far more than the con
venient income derived from the public land
sales, reconcile us to the distribution of
funds among the impoverished, bankrupt
and reluctantly dishonest sisters of our
great republican family.

don’t doubt tlint they have “low distant

Thu Hamburg (S. C ) “ Journal” n Cal
houn paper, speaking on the subject of the
next Presidency says—
“ For the life of us, we cannot see on what
grounds the friends of Van Buren expect to
carry him through in safety. He has no
claims on the South or West, lie was sad
dled on us in 1840, and with all Ids influ
ence, and the force of Mr. Calhoun’s friends
lie was badly beaten. And now with less in
fluence at home and abroad, and the deduc
tion of the Calhoun interest, he conies for
ward and demands from the people n seat in
the Presidential Chair. There is reason in
all things, and Van Buren ought to Know,
that his chance is vety had. All the rubbing
and training which his attendants can be
stow towards him, will nevt r make him run
in time.
” The friends of Messrs. Calhoun and Clay
have two much good sense, discretion and
sound patriotism, to let such a man as Van
Buren be our next Prescient. Give us Cal
houn, if not him, then Clay ; hut for the hon
or of our country, keep away Van Buren.”
Tariff. —The Now York Courier En
quirer, replying to some remarks of the
Journal of Commerce, about hardware, lias
the following remarks: “Notwithstanding
the enormous and unreasonable duties im
posed by tbe present Tariff, according to
the Journal's representations, the price of
every article of hardware included in its ta
ble, is with perhaps a single exception, low
er now in the foreign market, than it was in
(he fall of 1841, > the spring of 1842. un
der the ad valorem ditty of 20 per cent. —
Now this is a Irilth which the Journal can
readily testify by turning o its own piice
current at tlie periods indicated ; ami it is
per se sufficient to vindicate the tariff from
all the objections which the Journal's decep
tive table would imply. We know import
ers in this city who. bought large quantities
of some of the articles of hardware men
tioned while the 20 per cent duty was in
operation, for the express purpose of specti
j laiitig upon the rise in the price which they
I anticipated fiom the increased duties; and
\ they have since been glad to sell them at. a
\ reduction of from fifteen to thiity per rent. —
| Against these facts it will he difficult for the
i Journal t* demonstrate the evil influence of
I Protection.”
The Central Hank — Some twenty-five
, thousand dollars of this money were ex
changed for State bonds tlie last week of the
session. It is probable that the circulation
will he nbsoifieu in *<x months. Meanwhile
the Georgia State bonds are at par, and will
( soon command a premium. Os course the
l $270.G00 of bonds to be expended on the
i Stale Road, will l>e a bone fide expenditure
! of at least that amount, instead of paying
! contractors in depreciated bonds, and thus
; securing a diminished amount of work.
