to a sublime philanthropy, and an expensive
political philosophy, those mental energies,

sought. Alas for him, the good and the
great old octogenarion, thus writing to the
unforgotten object of the love of such n
mind, and such a heart ! It has been per

Thus he writes to the being of bis early
love.

silent, ami greatly moved. At last lie said,
“ Take me to the fiiture I entreat you, do

Pedestrian Angels. —An old farmer, a
crabbed sort of a fellow, used to give his

a good opportunity to scold : How you do

Madison, January 11 tit, 1814.
-To ihe Editor of the “Southern Miscellany.”
Sir —By his paper of Monday last, I per
ceive that your brother of the Augusta
Chronicle & Sentinel is again out in ridicule
of all Georgia Colonels. At first 1 was very
much surprised that THE Editor should
condescend, to speak (even in ridicule) of this
“numerous class” —having heretofore cn- .
Jeituined an exalted opinion of him, more j
from the fact, however, of his having been !
suggested to the “ plebians” of Georgia as a !
■fit"representative of their interests in Con- !
u les s, and from his general consequence, than j
from anv personal knowledge of the man. j
But, after calmly consideiing a few of his
Heading characteristics, 1 have become fully :
■convinced that he is envious of his more
“distinguished” fellow-citizens—or rather j
of their tide else, why this malicious;
“fling” at the Governor and his newly ap
pointed Aids 1 Hear him :
“ Georgia Colonels. — We owe an apology
to this jmincrous class of distinguished citi
zens, for the delay in announcing the impor
tant intelligence cntilaiugd in the following
paragraph. Georgia is a great State, par
ticularly in her facilities for making
CoI.ONKLS !”
As the editor seems to lament that lus dis
tinguished name was not included in the list
alluded to, 1 would most it sped fully sug
gest to Colonel St oval, that he forthwith ap
point a Committee of drummers and filers
to examine him in the manual—his valor
being unquestioned —and if f0u1..! worthy.
that he promote him to the rank of Lancepe
sade—the only office in the gift of the Colo
nel which l consider equal to the Editor s
calibre,
Being one of “ibis numerous class of
distinguished individuals,'’ I shall with your
permission, Mr. Editor, occasionally ‘drill
the man of the “ Chronicle” into a'more
respectful use of the term, when speaking
of Ins superiors.

CLAY CLUB.
It will he seen by the following report of
the proceedings of a meeting held in ibis
place on Saturday last, that the primary
move has been made towards the formation
of a Clay Club, which we hope to see suc
cessfully and efficiently carried out. The
object of this meeting was only to prepare
foi a more thorough organization, and so
soon as an answet to the letter of the Cum
mil tee is received from Mr. Clay, it is con
templated to call a meeting of the Whigs of
the County, for the purpose of forming a
** County Clay Club,” and of adopting such
measures as may best promote the advance
ment of the Whig cause. All that is for
midable in our opponents is their thorough
organization, and though we may view them
as a party destitute of political principles
and wit bout any claim upon the long abused
confidence of the people, yet, unless we
meet organization with organization, we ex
pose ourselves to the chances of defeat. We
are glad, therefore, to observe the busy pre
paration which is making by the Whigs ev
ery w here, to rally the irforces for the com
ing contest, and we are proud that the Whigs
of “ old Morgan” are among the foremost
in attesting their devotion to our great and
gallant leader “ Harry of the West.”
CLAY MEETING.
At a meeting of the friends of the Hon.
Henry (-LAY, at the Court-House, on the
13th instant, Dr. E. E. Jones was called
to the Chair, and A. A. Overton, appoint
ed Secretary.
On motion, the meeting was resolved into
a Clay Club, and a Committee, consisting of
A. A. Overton, \V. T. Thompson and Au
gustus Reese, was appointed by the Chair
! to prepare a Constitution, and report at a
future meeting.
On motion, it was Resolved, That a Com
mittee of five be appointed by the Chair to
correspond with Mr. Clay, and ascertain at
what time he may he expected at Madison.
A. Reese, A A. Overton, W.T.Thompson,
Lancelot Johnston, and W. G. Ballard were
appointed for that duty.
On motion, Resolved, That it shall lie the
j duty* of the Committee of Correspondence,

WHIG MEETING IN FORSYTII COUNTY'.
The Whigs of Forsyth County held a
meeting at Gumming, on the 2d instant, at j
which resolutions were adopted declaring
their warm devotion to Mr. Clay, as the
Whig candidate for thj* Presidency, and
pledging their best exertions to secure his
election. Samuel W. Royeton, Esq. was
unanimously chosen Delegate to attend the
Young Men’s WhigConveiition at Baltimore
i in May next, and, by resolution, the Hon. A.
i H.Stephens was also requested to attend the
I Convention. A request is contained in one
| of the resolutions of the meeting that the
! Whigs of each Congressional District thro’-
I out the State appoint one or more Delegates
j to the Young Men’s Baltimore Convention.
We ate in hopes Georgia wall he more ,
| numerously represented in that body than
j seems to he contemplated by the Whigs of
Forsyth county. If the Whigs of Demo
cratic Pennsylvania have pledged themsel
ves to send twenty-thousand Delegates, the
least number that possibly could sustain the
honor of Whig Georgia would he two from
every county in the State. The Delegates
to the Whig Baltimore Convention have a
duty to perforin very different from that of
those to the Democratic Convention. Our
Delegates have only to ratify the will of
people, while their s have to catty out tlie
will of their political leaders, which wi.l not
be ratified by the people. Nevertheless, the
honor of our State, and the interests of our
paity, require that Georgia should send a
respectable Delegation to Baltimore.

OFIt SUBSCRIPTION LIST.
In our last <ve alluded to the withdrawal
of most of our democratic subscribers, and
solicited of our whig friends a reinstatement
of our list. It affords us pleasure to acknowl
edge a prompt response, and we take this
occasion to thank those \Y higs who havc-so
readily came forward to our suppott, as well
I as those of our old patrons who have inter
ested themselves in procuring subscribers,
and advertising patronage, to the -• Mis
cellany.” Should our list continue to in
crease in the same ratio, we will soon be
placed on a firm basis of patronage. We
desire to make the “Miscellany” wo.tliy
the patronage of the people of our section
nf the Slate. Thus far we have struggled
under great embarrassment, but we are en
comaged to believe that our efforts have not

enabled to make the improvements vve de

the weather.
Since Sunday morning last, till within the
past forty-eight hours, we have had one in
cessant, pouring rain. We gnmihlediin our
j ‘ !lst al ’l‘ e weather—hut ti e weather of last
j week wasn’t a priming to what vve have ex
| perienced since. So long had our ryes been
accustomed to the contemplation of a heav
j cm of murky*, dripping clouds, and our ears
to healing the pattering and splashing of the
descending torrent,that when the sun shone
out on \\ ednesday morning, vve were slow
to realize t lie change; and the habit of ‘wear
ing our umbrella had become so well es
tablished that vve actually feel awkward with
out one over our head. The weather really
has been pertinaciously intolerable of late.
But till this is no news to out leaders, who,
vve apprehend, are as weather-wise as our
self.
MR. r.iVF.s’ LETTER.
Me wish the letter from Mr. Rives, of
Virgiria, which vve publish to-dav, could be
lead by every voter in Georgia. We did
intend to refer to it at length, hut vve can
find no room for comment —more truth and
sound argument could not he contained iri
less space, and we could desire no abler
vindication of our Whig candidate than is
contained in this letter of the great Demo
cratic \ irginiau. Most especially do vve
commend it to the perusal of all candid,
reasoning democrats.
” THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER”
I’or January, lias been on our table for
the past week, and we have no other ex
cuse for not noticing it but the inclemency
of the weather, and a horn'd stove vviih a
down waul draught, (every stove smokes.)
1 his is a rich number in every department,
and amply fulfils the promises of the edi
tor, who vve do sincerely hope will be sus
tained in his laudable effoit to keep up this
excellent Southern magazine. We vviil re
call that word Southern, lor fear vve mav
do the work an injury, and, availing ourself
of the sagacity of the vender of fat dog
skins, vve will beg the reader to understand
that it is not such a nation Southern mamizine
O
either. Northern people piaise it, and
Northern people patronise it, and Northern
people write for it occasionally, which, in
our section, is the strongest recommenda
tion vve can give the “Messenger.” Among
many other good things, the number before
us contains one of Judge Loncatreel's
Georgia Scenes, entitled, Darby Anvil,
which originally appeared in our own little
“ Augusta Minor.” The sketch is rnntii
huteil to the “ Messenger” hv someone of
the Judge’s admirers, will a highly laudato
ry preface, in which the writer states that it
originally appeared in an “obscure Georgia
paper.” In justice to the deceased, such
an anient fiieml of Southern literatim* |
should have added—ii In* could not afford
to mention the name—that though obscure, ;
1 it was the pioneer of literary enterprise in
1 Georgia. Such an honorable mention would
have consoled its friends for its obscuiity.
“ THE GUARDIAN”
Is the title of a monthly Magazine “de
voted to the cause of Female Education on
1 Christian Ftinciplcs, edited at the Female
Institute, Columbia, Tennessee, by the Bee
tor, the Rev. F. G. Smith, with the aid of
j the Right Rev, Visitor, Bishop Otey, and
the Tutoresses.” This is one of *he best
publications of the day, and at the low price
at which it is published (81,00 per annum)
should, if it does not, enjoy an extended
circulation. Its matter, original and se
lected, is of ibe highest liteiary caste, and
admirably adapted to the family circle.—
The Editor offers a beautiful Silver Cup,
us a pi ize for the best original Article ba
the “Guardian,” to be furnished during

LOCOFOCO DECENCY.
Tlio editor of the “Savannah Republi-
I ran” says, “ If any thing on the face of the
j earth is calculated to e>cite the feelings of
any good Republican who loves his coun
try, it is the ferocious attacks of the Globe.
Coons, Cooqskins, Conneries, Clay poles,
hard cider drunk ness, British Whigs, Fed
eral Whigs, Bank laxight Whigs, Whigs
i who wish to create n debt for the benefit of
British Aristocrats—such are some of the
terms which are applied to a vast majority of
the American people, in almost every lium
her nf a paper whose editors have amassed
a fortune of mine than three hundred thpn
sand dollars by living on the public Treasu
ry.”
Sii di language does look bad in print, biit
“ considering tl.e source,” vve do not think
any \\ hig should allow it to ruffle bis tem
per. Besides, there is some allowance to
ibe made. Tbe editors of the “‘Globe” are
■ excited. The uHckson dvnasfv, through the
favoritism of which they were first lifted out
| of indigence, and, in reward for their se.rcil
j ity. allowed to poke their fingers into lhe
purse of the Nation, is in its last death-tinned.
The lion's skin has dropped from the'wea
sel, mid the edil ors behold the ‘loses of mil ti y
who once saw the “ illustrious predecessni”
in the pigmy inheritor of his place, elev ated
to windward, as if they had never smelled
i musk before in their lives. And what is
worse—their paity can’t catch the vveazel
asleep—like the little old man in “Siuliad
the Sailor,” he holds his seal, and will ride
J them to death in less than n twelve-month.
lii this state of affair-, is t to be wondered a’
that the editors of the “ Globe” should be in
temperate in their wrath,orthat they should
have a mortal aversion to Coons? We w ill
sre them in a worse humor yet : about next
November vve expect to seethe “Globe”
men, chief-scavenger Amos, and the whole
generation of hireling dependants in Wash
ington ahd elsewhere—louse a home-brew
ed comparison—rearing and bellowing thro’
the country like so many hull-yearlings just
turned out of a peach-orchard pastille. But
it lakes something besides hard names to
kill \\ higs. \\ e appiebend there are just
as many now in Georgia, if tint more, than
there were before the editms of the “Globe”
let oil their battery ol loeotoco blackguard
ism against them. \\ ho cares about being
called a Coon ? What’s in a name ? For
! our own pint, so no one calls ns a Mormon,
j or a Milk-rite, or a locofiico—each of which,
J vve conceive, cany with them certain matter
of implication, which vve would not like
tamely to submit to—we do not care a fig
j for all the titles anti nick-names which the
editors could slat! in theii well conned v;o,
cahulary of billingsgate. We prefer, in
] deed.to be set down among theCnons vvhen
i ever such coon-fights are to lake place ns
that which recently came off in Georgia.—

GENERAL JACKsox’s FINE.
Mr. In gersoll’s bill to refund the fine im
posed upnn General Jackson by Judge
Hall, fora contempt of the civil aulhoritv.
i was passed by the House of Represeiita
’ lives, on the Si Ii instant. Tims,-in their ca
! gerness to nppropiiate the fame of the old
1 soldier to their ow n electioneeiiiig purposes,
his very dear friends, have pineked one of
the brightest laurels from bis brow; for, if
anything could alone for the subversion of
the civil law by General Jackson, at New
Oilcans, it was subsequent discharge of
its penally. But now, the page of history
upon which Ids g!oi ions defence of tbe city
will be inscribed, will also bear the icc-ord
of the civil nutiagr, vviili no atonement.—
It was heroic in him to ** take the responsi
bility” at such a ciisis, but it was nobler in
iiiin to bow submissive to the insulted jus
tice of his country. But the putty must
have political capital—and for this they
have made lent iccant one of the noblest
acts of his life.
07-On the close of the* first week in Jan
uary, the Washington “Spectator” makes
the following reflections :
The Close of the Week —We come to the
close of another week, cinil as the sun goes
down, with a mnguificient splendor on the
hoiiznn, vve enter our dingy office, jaiii and
and wearied vviili the vvi,anglings and de
bates of Congress. What shall vye write
hljouT A hiYliiiott— lai ill Gen. J acksoo’s
fine ? Or may wd H"t throw down tin* pen
and ctiiio again in'o the flee air nod glmi- 1
ous light, and think of things only peaceful 1
and happy. Suiely nothing so fatally lends !
to make a man hard and contentious, ns the
continual gladiatorial eucniiutei of naked
intellect—keener far than the th'ee-edged
sword which leaves no blood to tell the
depth of its wound or its dire fatality.
We need softening, after a week of such
stem conflict, and vvliut so well adapted to
this purpose, ns a long look over the broad
waters of the Potomac, glistening in the sun
set, and crowned with her rolling lolls ? A
hundred yoats hence, if this Union endures,
vvliat stately mansions will look from yonder
trees, and liovv beautifully will the vvliile
saili-d craft (instead of tufts of ducks) which
a city of a hundred thousand inhabitants
rrigsl call upon its waters deck, on an even
ing like this, the gentle rutiuntie. But will
the Union cnduic ! Perhaps our minds
have heroine morbid, by hearing the eternal
questioning of its continuance in the House
of Representatives during this Cotigtvss.-n-
I’ei Imps vve an* low in spirits, or perluips 100
high; hut now, whilst natme is all • aim
and would seem to •* iiso up und bless us,”
tlie doubt of the long continuance of our
united Government presses upon our heart.
I he tongues mid the hands of men are now
husy, where hitherto it -*as supposed sacri
lege to touch..
Members of Congress spem colder ‘n ea4-h
other. They sit in silenrp, watching, ap
parently. in stern eagerness. No cordiali
ty —no friendliness—no confidence. Blit
suspicion and disaffection seen, resting on
their hrows. whilst cold disdain and sarcast
ic smiles often settle round their lips. Thjev
do not appear to ns to he luethivn of Mhe
same political taniily, hut rather disrontMit
ed and jealous fops. W e hope we tingejaf
fairs I•y our own sombre temper ; but as we
see the sun decline, it seems to us the type
of our Union, and we utter the- prayer—
“ lints too, when it sinks may our glorious
confederacy go down !”
Such are the melancholy brooding* of a
disappointed pnrliznn— of one who has fol
lowed the erratic Star of the South, only to
see it eclipsed hy the phosphorescent blaze
of locofoeo corruption and intrigue. Rut.
dear matt, he is not without hope—let him
raise his eyes to the transcend ml tub of the
West—and if he would avert the doom fore
shadowed by his mot lid imagination, ] e t
him yield his fealty and support to the
“Glorious Hurry,” whose genius ah nni un
der the guidance of an over ruling l’lovi
dence, can calm the discordant elements of
jsilitical strife and avert the impending evil.
