Blim authority, or will they respectfully decline the honor
oonferred by a mere handful of their constituents ? We
know not what these gentlemen may choose to do in such
a dilemma, but do not hesitate to give it as our opinion that
it will comport better with their future time and prospects,
if they at once wash their hands of the whole matter and go
into a “state of retiraev,” till time may kindly throw the
mantle of oblivion over the incidents of 1850. If they ap
pt ar at Nashville, they evidently do so without sufficient
lo<*al authority from the people of the State, who should
not. therefore, be held responsible for any of the acts of
such delegates.
tflio’s to blame ? —Not a few indications have al
ready appeared, that the opponents of the Nashville Conven
tion are to be charged with the evil effec ts arising out of the
failure of the movement. One of these effects is the en
couragement which the North will thereby have to believe
that we area divided people, on the momentous question of
Slavery. We do not apprehend that much capital can be
made, at the north, out of so groat a delusion as this would
be. We can tell the whole tribe of abolitionists that they
“reckon without their host,’ ’ if they come to any such con
clusion, on that point. But if it be so, that the north does
take encouragement, therefrom, to make further aggressions,
whose fault is it ? “Look before you leap” is a homely ad
age but of most excellent moral The zealots, in the last Le
gislature, and the mad caps, every where, should not liave
sprung a mine until they had some knowledge of the effects
. which were to follow—whether an explosion that would
blow fanatics “sky high,” or merely a fizz in the pan. that
Would sparkle in their own face's! Verily,then, on the orig
inator* of the movement, and on them alone, should all the
eousqcuenees reset, whether for good or evil. To them bo all
the honor and all the dishonor of the experiment—we have
noclaini to the first and will not allow the last to be attached,
by others, to the skirts of our garments,
Mr, Clin pell’s Letter,
The last Georgia Telegraph contains a letter from the
Hon. A. ll.Chappell, in reference to his position, on the
Nashville Convention movement, and in explanation of the
reason why the 3d-District Convention did not confirm his
previous nomination by the Democratic Members of the Le
gislature, as a delegate from this district, to Nashville. From
a careful perusal of this letter, we come to the conclusion
that Mr. Chappell declined the honor intended for him, be
cause of his belief, that the people of the South were not suf
ficiently awake to the importance of the subject. Indeed ;
this is clearly avowed in the following paragraph from his
epistle:
“But although several Southern Legislatures, and among
them that of Georgia, responded favorably to this call, yet
it was too obvious that the people of the South as a mass,
slumbered under it. The people of Gaorgiw too, and the
people of the Third Congressional District slumbered under
it. And there were elsewhere not a few who, under the in
tlnenve .of a misconception of its object, and of the infinite
diversity of human mind, viewed it with actual distrust and
disfavor. This state of the public mind deprived the project- ;
ed Convention, in my judgment, of all that high capacity 1
for usefulness to the country, the expectation of
induced its call, and took away every motive that could have
operated to make me willing to be one of its members.”
The lion, gentleman, we think, did wisely, in thus sliding
out of the position assigned him by his friends—but not so
wisely in giving in his adhesion to the purposes of the Con
vention. The day is not far distant in our opinion, when all
those who have had any part or lot in the matter will be found
calling, in vain, upon the rocks and mountains to cover them
from the wrath of an indignant people !
All (tiunnion !——ll* no better reason can be assigned for
the small vote polled atthe late election for delegates to the
Nashville Convention, than the one assigned, to wit—the ab
.srurr of opposition to the nominees, it would be better to
say nothing. If the people had felt half as much interest ill
the matter as they generally feel in the election of a bailiff,
the case would certainly have been different. But here is a
grand movement, having for its object, the salvation of the 1
State and the deliverance of the people tlienisclves from gal
ling lKimlage, and the moral power of which was known to
depend upon the zeal and unanimity manifested in its regard. !
almost completely palsied by the consideration that there was
no opposition to the nominees ! “ Credat Jndttus npprlla !”

Bound Over. —At a session of the Magistrates’ Court,
Justices Brown, Burch and Heed, on the bench, held yester
day at the County Jail. Mrs. Nancy Foster and Mary Jane
Foster, her daughter, were bound over in a penal bond of
$l5O each, to appear before Bibb Superior Court in July next,
to answer to the eliarge of aiding and abetting the escape of
the prisoners confined in the jail aforesaid. Mm. loster,
the son of Mrs. N. Foster charged with the same
offence, but nothing appearing against him, he was discharg
ed.
The aiding and abetting consisted in furnishing Alexander
Pearl one of the prisoners, with nitric acid and other materi
als wherewith to break the bolts of the cells in which he and
other prisoners, Thos. Smith and Brinkly Bishop wore con
fined at night. By the use of these articles, they had suc
ccodod in oomulinp; the bolts and getting access to a brick
wall, through which they would soon have made their egress,
had not day light revealed their, operations to the jailor, and
prevented their escape. Pearl is confined on a charge of big
amy—he having married Mary Jane Foster, while another
wife was living. For this offence Mrs. Foster prosecutes and
will not let this beauty of of a pearl out of the casket which
the county has provided for the safe keeping of such precious
jewels of humanity, until satisfaction be given her. Hence the
present charge against Mrs. Foster and the sitting of the
Court within the prison walls, for the accommodation of tlic
principal witness, the aforesaid Pearl himself. W e anticipate
some rich developcnients when the case comes on for trial, and
will make due report of the sane, for the benefit of our readers.

While’s Statistics of Georgia.
A copy of this valuable work was handed us a few days
since, by the respected author, and we hasten to give a brief
notice of contents. The volume commences with a sketch
of the Ge'dogy of Georgia, which is followed by a notice of
the aboriginal inhabitants—situation, boundaries and extent
of the State—its soil and productions, rivers, population and
early settlement—arrival of the first colonists and progress
of the same—history of the Yazoo Fraud—the political Go
vernment, animal revenue and expenditures of the Common
wealth —the Governors, Judiciary, Penal Code, Militia sys
tem. &e.:—Education, with an enumeration of the several
principal Institutions of the State and its benevolent Asy
lu I s—Public buildings, Rail Roads, Canals and Churches,
j together with an alphabetical statement of the situation,
: boundaries, climate, diseases, minerals, population, resour
ces, &c. &.<*., of*ach County in the State. All this follow
ed by a Catalogue of the Fauna and Flora of Georgia, em
bracing its mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects, Crusta
cea, shells and plants.
Among the most interesting features of this work are the
biographical sketches which the author has given of persons
after whom the different Counties are named. TVe have
I received much valuable information on this head and have no
1 doubt that most readers will find something in this depart
ment, both novel and interesting. The whole work exhibits
| much research on the part of the author, and although it is
not a perfect description of the “Model State of the South,”
in all its details, it is, nevertheless, a very clever approxima
tion to the reality, and as such, should be in the hands of ev
ery family in the commonwealth, as well as on the desk of
every pupil. Asa school-book, we can commend it heartily
to those Parents and Teachers who desire that the youth of
the State should be well informed in all matters appertain
ing to the place of their abode, in order to a just and patriot
ic appreciation of the peculiar blessings which they, as its
future rulers and people are permitted to enjoy.

In 1849, the lady’s Book gave 916 pages—which is 116 more

He gave 281 engravings—among which were 20 colored, and 93 full
page—which is 136 more than one, and 180 more than the other.
We gave in each number, a piece of music, printed separately on
tinted |viper, making 24 pages, or 12 pieces in a year. To show the
cheapness of the Lady’s Book, this same- music, if bought separately
at the music stores, would cost exactly the price of the whole year's

GREAT ATTRACTION!!
(Q*’ The attention of every man, woman and child in Georgia and adjacent
is specially directed to the following
PROSPECTUS OF THE
#3issatr
An independent and racy Weekly Journal, just commenced in Ma
con, Ga. under the exclusive control of
L. F. W. Andrews, Editor and Proprietor,
Who for five years past, had the charge of the Democrat,
of Columbus:
Ist. llis motto will be —“lndependent in all things,
neutral in nothing.'’ This is indicative of the jwsition
which the Editor designs to take in relation to men, princi
ples and measures—a position above the influence of party
or sect , and which will reserve to himself the largest liberty
of speech and most unrestrained latitude of criticism upon all
matters, moral, social anti political, which may pass in review
before him, as a public Journalist.
2d. As the name imports, the Editor's aim will be to de
velope the resources of Georgia and advance the interests of
her people in the pathway of true greatness and prosperity.
Under this head, the agricultural and miucral capabilities of
the state—its commercial facilities—its varied industrial pur
suits. and the educational enlightenment of every class of
its citizens, will be embraced, as leading objects of concern
ment.
3d. The “Georgia Citizen” will be the foe of monopoly
and exclusive privilege, in their every phrase and feature,
and the special friend of honest industry of head and hand.—
While “ever)’ form of tyranny over the mind of man” will
be strenuously opposed, the “Citizen*’ w.'l ever be .found en
forcing the constitutional requirements of toleration towards
every shade of opinion which may be entertained “for con
science’ sake,’’ and defending the rights of the humblest from
abuse or infringement.
4th. The “Citizen” will contain a weekly transcript of
the current news of the day, gleaned with care from every a
vailable source, foreign and domestic. I nder this head the
Editor will introduce anew and interesting feature—that o
special correspondence from the prominent cities of the
State and Union, in which all that is rich in incident and
racy iu thought, will be garnered, weekly, for the reader p
information and amusement.
f>th. The “Citizen” will have its Literary Department,
where will be found the gem of poetic inspiration and the
OF THE PRESS,.
The following unsolicited and unbought opinions of the Press, of Georgia and
Alabama, of both parties, as to the character of the “Georgia Citizen” and the abil
ity of the Editor to make it one of the most readable and valuable FAMILY
JOURNALS now published in the Union, are only a part of the many flattering
testimonials which have greeted the Editor since the appearance of his first
Number. lie submits them to the public, as the unbiassed evidence of a far-see
ing and enlightened Fraternity,, who must, from their vocation, he qualified to ren
der a just verdict in the case, and whose united and disinterested opinions are
certainly entitled to respectful consideration, from the reading comir init v:—
The Georgia Citizen.
Independent in all things—neutral in nothing.
The above are the title and motto of anew paper just com
menced at Macon, Ga., by Dr. L. F. W. Andrews, late Ed
itor of the “ Muscogee Democrat.” If No. 1, now before
us, is to be taken as a specimen, the “ Georgia Citizen,” will
be a valuable paper. We like his motto, and hope the Doctor
will maintain his present high position. We have long de
tested the devotion of the strictly party press to stereotype
sentiments, manufactured for them by interested politicians.
We go for the “ freedom of the press’’ always, and under all
clivumstawaea. 4 ijiti/.f U lO OtU I'X*

The Ggorgia Citizen. —The publication of anew paper,
under this title, has been commented in Macon, edited by
Dr Andrews, the first number of which is before us. “ In
dependent in all things—neutral in nothing,” it appears to
have for its object the dissemination of truth, the advance
ment of literature, and the fostering of the arts and sciences.
From the experience, zeal and energy of the editor, and his
knowledge of the wants of the reading community, we may
safely predict that a well deserved patronage will be bestow
ed upon it. Terms, $2,50 per annum— Aug. lie public.
The Georgia Citizen. —The first No. of the “Georgia
Citizen,” published by Dr. L, F. W. Andrews, Macon, Ga.,
lias been received and contents duly scanned. It is a taste
fully gotten up sheet, and the specimen number does credit
to the able editor, in a literary point of view. Dr. Andrews is
well known to the public as the former editor of the “ Mus
cogee Democrat,” and the interest lie imparted to that pa
per, is sufficient guaranty that ‘The Citizen’ will be worthy
of public patronage. — Forsyth Bee.
Tiie Georgia Citizen. —This is the title of anew paper
just started in Macon by L. F. W. Andrews, formerly of the
Muscogee Democrat. Its motto is—“ independent in all
things—neutral in nothing”—from which we may infer, it
is devoted to no party or sect. The Editor is a warm friend
of State improvement and of our own sea-port, and as such,
we cordially welcome his re-appcarancc among the corps

The Georgia Citzk.x. —We have received the first num
ber of the Georgia Citizen, a. new paper just started in the
city of Macon, under the editorial management of our late
feliow-townsman, Dr. Andrews. The specimen sheet before
us is one that will hear inspection. It is well filled with orig
inal and seleted matter, and presents itself with a fair and
comely face. We wish the Doctor all the success iu his new
enterprise which his industry and ability command. It has
been our fortune to break a lance, or rather to have his occa
sionally splintered over our pates, and we give the fraternity
fair notice that he will hold his hand in the ordinary skir
mishes of the brotherhood.— Columbus Enquirer.
Tiie Georgia Citizen.—Well, ourold friend, Dr. Andrew*,
has got up steam again, and commenced his new paper at
Macon, “ The Georgia Citizen.” llis motto is “ Indepen
dent in all things—neutral in nothing,” from which the rea
der can form a pretty good idea of the character of the pa
per. From a hasty perusal of the first number, we are in
clined to think well of it.— Athens Whig.

paper which we find among our exchanges. It is published
