The next Presidency.
Mr. Editor : —ln ilio last week’s issue of your Jour
nal I see the name of John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky,
amioun- ed as the most suitable individual for the next
candidate of the Union party for the Presidency of
the United States. The suggestion is a good one, an
unexceptionable one, and one that can and will give
general satisfaction to the people at large. A more
appropriate name for the occasion could not have been
mentioned. The name of Crittenden is a tower of
strength with the patriotic portion of the people, lie
is known familiarly to the people, throughout the Uni-
ted States, as an orator, an upright, honest, unassum
ing, dignified, deliberate and profound statesman. 1
have been a close observer for the last ten or twelve
years of the proceedings of Congress and during that
period I h*.vs not biea able to perceive in the course of
Mr. Crittenden's public acts, any deviation from that
of pure, honest, patriotic purposes. Ilis motives seemed
to bo governed by patriotic impulses and what he be
lieved lo be essential lor tho gofxt and interest of the
country independent of party ties and associations. He
is unencumbered with that rancorous, prejudicial party
feelings, whieli, unfortunately lor the country, seem to
be an inherent trait in a majority of our leading poli
ticians of the present day, which frequently induces
them to commit acts injurious to the country, and who
are actuated with the belief that it will in future re
dound for the benefit of their party and enure to the
good of their own individual aggrandizement. lie is
considered by Ilis political opponents as an upright poli
tician, willing at all times to concede to them all that is
right and just,— independent of party trammels. Ilis
opinions on all important questions that have been
brought before the country are regarded with respect
by h s nio-t embittered antagonists. llu-re is no man
now living, or who has existed since the commence
ment of the government of the United States, that his
political enemies or opponents can find as little objec
tions, to, or make as little political capital out of. It is
true his friends might expect that his enemies would
bring forward some charges against him. In fact it
would be something new under the sun if any man
could be at this time brought before the country for
the high and responsible office of President of the
United States, without his political opponents making
some grave and important allegations, particularly
when party feeling is so malignant and rancorous
as it is at the present time. But to a reading public
and a reflecting community his patriotism and services
to the country will remain preeminent in the hearts
of his countrymen, independent of all the allegations
that could be made. He is not an aspirant for any
political station. Ilis whole public career proves that
to a dornonstration, neither would he accept an office
from his most intimate personal and political friends,
but from the purest of motives and the good of his
country. Nor would he, under any circumstances,
accept an office where he believes there would be cause
for the people of the country to apprehend there was
any previous understanding. General Taylor, if my
recollection serves me right, offered him the office of
Secretary of State, which he refused, it is presuma
ble, from tlie fact that he was an intimate friend and
jtie of the first advocates of his election.
It is the duty of the people and it is for the interest
of the country for them to select a man of their own
choice, not to leave it to the office-holders who are
governed in most eases through ambitious motives, and
an eye to their own promotion. If they do, they
never will elect a man of their own selection. Mr.
Crittenden is known to be a staunch und-Viating friend
and advocate of the Compromise Measures passed by
the last Congress. And it is exceedingly important
that the friends of those measures, particularly those
living in the Southern States should have a candidate
in the next Presidential Campaign, the principles of
whom should be based on the compromise laws and
for sustaining them inviolable. The time will
come if not now at hand, when these measures will be
made issues before the couutry. For the peace, tran
quility and good feeling of the people of the Union to.
wards each other it is indispensably necessary that they
should rally upon these measures and make them para
mount to all others without any regard ns heretofore to
old party considerations. There is no man that can be
brought before the people for their suffrages with as
little objections, that can and will rally the friends of
the compromise from both old political parties, South.
West and North, as the person you suggested. The
positions he has assumed on all of the momentous
questions that have been agitated before the count!)
since he has been in public life, entitle him to the un
limited suffrage to the highest elevation in the gift of a
free sovereign and independent people.
PLUTARCH.
New Perpetual .notion.
Translated for the Georgia Citizen ,
BY JOHN M. KUNZE.
The following, (in substance,) is taken from The
New York German State Gazette, of Bth November
last:—
Iti former German papers, mention was made of the
invention of a Perpetual Motion. This is now con
firmed by the inventor himself, Mr. Joseph Xaver Rud
nitzkey, who, under the superscription of ‘.l Voice from
the Orient,'’ dated Constantinople, of July 9th, 1851.
informs the public that he intends, as soon as possible,
to exhibit his invented machine in Paris and London.
From this article the conclusion seems unquestiona
ble, that the problem which occupied the thoughts of
thousands, is solved, (to the limits of pvissibility) name
ly, that of an inherent self-moving mechanical power,
which is capable of continuing its action without dimi
nution and without ceasing; but that such a power can
be borne by material substances, and of course liable
to be worn out or impaired by friction, is certainly
among the impossibilities, for this earth does not pro
duce any substance or metal divested of such liability,
by constant use and friction.
The inventor saith :—“My machine consists of 12
smooth spring wheels, such as are found generally in
all sorts of machinery; only one wheel which is the
13th, is of a very peculiar construction, such a one a>
has, as yet, not been attached to any machine in use to
this day—nor have any of the learned indoctrinated in
the mystery and power of mechanism, hitherto imag
ined the construction of such a wheel; for this 13th
wheel is so adapted that the introduction of it into the
machine gives life and motion to the other 12, and that
so quickly that it is hardly perceptible. The run ot
the little car is so swift and draws so powerful, that it
requires a regulator to dimish its motion. Six wheels
v are necessary for producing the forward motion,
„j x aPe f or regulating and retarding it at tin
option oiNVi e conductor.
The little Iskjdel car, constructed in Constantinople,
is 24 inches in bitndth, and 18 inches in height, draw
after it 112 quintaisN s f\’j weight (about 2200
English, more or ca „ rtm j German, or
6 English miles in five m’mmjv The mechanism in
vented hy me cannot be other propel
ling powers in present use, for it surpasses all in point
of safety, durability, perpetuity, celerity,and particularfi
cheapness; the cost being according to calculation in
proportion as sis to 100. Another great advantage is
that it can be used in all descriptions of work, be n
large or small, on land or water. Asa Locomotive ii
is adapted for up hill or down hill, and with proper
care, runs constantly without intermission for 20 years
before it requires any reparation, and this without the
co-operation of any other hitherto known mechanical
powers, but is solely impelled and forced to Locomotion
by a proper, and as it were inherent life-giving pow
er in its construction, based upon mechanical princi
ples.’’ B. U.
For the Georgia Citizen.
A Wish to M’C.
M'C—l wish this verse of mine,
Could note each thought and feeling free,
I would pour forth, in every line,
Hope, health and happiness for thee.-
I’d wish thy soul as bright as day,
And free from all corroding care,
With hope, love, peace and friendship’s ray,
To gild thy path with blessings rare.
May thy heart unfettered be—to roam
As blithe and free as this of mine,
No cloud of gloom enshroud thy home
Nor sorrow’s w ing encircle thine.
May you find a fond congenial heart,
Pure, warm, and confiding as pra)er,
That will not wish from thee to part
And know no bliss you cannot share.
1 wish to her a cultur’d mind
Sparkling with intellectual wealth,
Which for its brilliancy can find
No living parallel on earth.
I wish thy pure and guileless soul,
With paltry gold may ne’er be bought,
But may it strive for wisdom’s goal,
The Kingdom of the pure in thought.
I wish I had an angel’s shield,
To guard thy spirit, I would live,
To guide thee through the azure field,
To brightest bliss that Heaven can give.
MAUD.
LETTER FROM COLUMBUS.
Columbus, Get. 26th, 1351.
L. F. W. Andrews, Esa.
Sir :—years of persecution, starvation ano aspersion
have not extinguished the faith of the Irish Catholics.
At home, they feel their position ; they wish to change
it, and screw out of ten come here in preference to go
ing t> the British Colonies. England’s anger is excited,
she follows them up, and her old serpent coils are pnt
into execution. Give them ‘a had name,’ as the man
did the dog. England's motto always was, and is to
create distrust, and through it Disunion. She well
knows that Irishmen
“ Love their green Tsle. and their love is rewarded
In hearts that suffered too much to forget.”
And she fears that they will one day see the Bard’s
phropheey verified, who predicted that —‘their hope
shall be crowned—their attachment rewarded,
“ And Erin’s gay jubilee shine out yet. — Moore.
To break that spirit, and to hush that song has ever
been her aim. It is by creating this religious diffidence
in one another, and by fostering religious animosity that
she has managed to keep unhappy Ireland in thraldom
for 300 years. It is by this that she lias managed to keep
England itself in ignorance, vice and religious ha
tred also. It is this cry of ‘mud-dog’ which enabled
her so long to sit dissenters against Protestant, and all
against Catholic. This is her plan to secure rents,
tithes and tuxes, and this it is that makes her lawn
sleeved and mitred Bishops pocket the money of those
who differ from them in religion, and whom they pre
tend to believe only fitting for no matter where
they goto, their money is a boon too good to lose.
It is this religious animosity which serves as the
Upas t > blight and finally destroy the best and holiest
feelings of the human heart. Was Emmet less a patriot
than Washington because he lost and Washington
won his ends ? No, a thousand times no. Was there
ever a good man any country or erec-d a worse man
than another good man of any other country or creed ?
Goodness is goodness, and goodness consists in the
love of God above all things, and of our neighbors as
ourselves. 1 have met them from all nations, of all
religions and of no religion. I only ask of any man
common civility and the exercise of honest moral feel
ings. Where he goes of a Sunday or how he prays
is nothing to me. 1 find him honest, and charity obliges
me to love him. If he is a bad man, if God bears
wiih him I ought to do, knowing that God bears also
with me. Love must rule in a family else there will
be no peace, and as we are all members ol one com
mon family journeying onwards, to our destination,
our motto shonld be‘love one another.’ As wit s fami
lies so with countries, particularly such a country as
this where the inhabitants enjoy wealth in proportion
to their talent and industry, where individual property
b-comes equally established amongst the members of a
family. Here where men from all nations and of all re
ligious denominations meet, and are to be nu t. there nev
er should be such a thing as religious animosity. Here
the Presbyterian or Methodist, the Episcopalian or Bap
tist, can never hope no more than the Catholiic for any
ascendancy. Religion here stands on its own merit
the same as the inhabitant*. There is nothing to be
hoped from State patronage. No rich livings, no mitres,
no glebes, no sinecure church livings in the hands of
statesmen, no crowned head to protect one sect and
oppress all others.
No, I thank God, the Constitution of this country
guarantees no right for State meddling in religious mat
ters. Then why this harping upon the discordant
harps of religious bigotry. One tiling lam certain ol
after years of patient observation, that this country is
the only country on earth where an honest industrious
man may get a comfortable home, where Ins religion
or former country will not militate against him. And
he must he worse than a Demon who would in any
way, by word or action help to destroy the govern
inent of this republic, in which the fundamental
principles of human happiness arc centred. Where
under heaven, would the oppressed of Europe goto,
if anarchy feigned here. And you who fled, Irani
your homes, to escape the lash of tyranny, you who
are at home were considered unfit for self-government,
or to enjoy the common privileges of men. W ill you
now for some petty sinister or bigoted motive stand
aloof from your fellow-man. simply because he may
differ from you in country or creed. Recollect that
your old tyrants kept you down because of this spirit.
You left them, and came here, where you can walk
erectly and confidently, looking every man in the face;
where you can, by industry and honesty, make a home
which you can leave to your children and if you do
lint value your own welfare, value the welfare of the
countless thousands of your countrymen who would
tie glad to be in the land which you do not value.
Think of the wailings of the exiled in other countries,
think of the good men who pine in banishment for
attempting to gain far less than ivliat you enjoy.
1-ook to the Poles, to the Hungarians, look to Irish
patriots. Think of Emmet, Fitzgerald, of Orr, of
Mitchel, Meagher, O'Brien, aud of the many who
are banished for wishing lo place themselves and their
children's children under freedom's banner. Think
of this, of the example stt you hy others. Look to
the country you are in, to the rights you enjoy, where
you can with ease speak to the greatest men of the
wmld, without standing as once, many of you were
obliged to do, with uncovered heads, as you begged for
a day’s work.
Look to the proud position we are placed in, com
pared to millions. Think of the envy wt excite, of
the power we hold. Look back half a century to what
has been done, and forward in the same time, what
will not be done, and whom does all this come from?
from the very men tv horn titled fools declared to be
unfit for anything save serfdom. Be true then to
the cause of this great land. What you inherit from
others let others inherit from you. Gather round
the tabernacle of freedom, enclose it on all sides, de
fend it by night and by day. It will be your safe
guard, and freedom will dwell with you, if you guard
her shrine mu] obey her mandates. Neglect this, and
vou will be wanderers upon earth, and die ‘ unwept ,
unhonored and unsung.’
Yours Ac. IIIBERNICUS.

to transgress our Rule so far as to publish it next week
without insisting fur tlie present on the removal of the

to guard tlie Editor against imposition sometimes prac

upon him, ns original composition, what has been
plagiarized from the brains of others. In the present

Our Nomination.
We invite attention to the article in our paper to day,
approbatory of our suggestion, last week, of the name
of tlie lion. J. J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, for the
Presidency. The writer, fully confirms our nomina
tion as one altogether ‘fit to be made’ and entitled to
profound consideration. V\ e may add that we have
received several other favorable-notices in reference to
the same subject, and all unite in enthusiastic admira
tion of the great Kentucky Statesman. In fact, we
have heard no objection to the nomination, but on all
sides a warm, spontaneous, and hearty approval. We
therefore, will formally run up our candidate’s name
to our mast head, subj"Ct to the decision of a National
Union Convention, or failing in that, to the decision of
the people of the State of Georgia.
Disband! Disband!
This is the cry which we now hear raised from all
quarters, and what is the strangest of all, it comes
to us from both the late parties. The Fire-Eating
press of Georgia, are now clamorous for peace—for
burying the hatchet and dissolving parties into their
original elements; and the echo of the same clamor
lias reached us from old Whig leaders, who having
used the Union party to their entire satisfaction, now
proclaim themselves Democrats, and ready to join
their late enemies in fraternal embrace and loving affil
-1 union! Surely ‘the times are out of joint,’ it those so
late in deadly feud ostensibly for tlie maintenance and ex
istence of the Union on the one hand, and ts overthrow
on the other, can thus forget the principles involved
in the contest and coalesce, so early, on a different basis l
WeDid not the issues of the late can
vassM This entertainment to which we were
invi:i.l, aud tPBPUii we invited the people. Il was
not to elevate ambitious men to office that we battled,
but to save tlie Union Irom the hand of the despoiler.
And when that object is achieved, shall we, in the ex
cess of our benevolence, tike within our grasp the yet
blood-red < f hands of the Robespiet es and Dantons of
Disunion and hug them to our confidence? Can we
trust those who now pretend that the mission of the
Union and Disunion part es is completed and that the
danger is past? Or may wo not justly suspect all
such professions as hypocritical and treacherous, and as
the dernier resort of wily adversaries i\ ho seek by strat

We say to the people, w atch and pray lest ye fall into
a snare and are entangled to your ruin. Heed not
tlii-n the advice contained in the following extract
I'roin the Columbus Times, until after due trial and
examination, you find such advisers sufficiently discip
lined in the cause of patriotism, to give counsel or
speak the words of wisdom. From the lips of tlmse
who so recently declared they ‘hated ihe Union like
1, —ll,’we can certainly receive neither instruct on
nor advice, however plausible, having lor its object, the
coalition proposed : Says the Columbus Times :
“ We advise, therefore, that the Southern Rights’
party unite with all of the Constitutional Union party,
who are willing to stand by the Georgia Platform, and
send Delegates to the Baltimore Convention, to con
struct a National Platform and nominate National can
didates, true and faithful to the compromise—candi
dates pledged to maintain it, and to take the issue of
the Union itselt, on the spirit of that compromise, viz.
that it shall be, as it purports to be, a final settlement
of the vexed question. If this cannot be done, no hu
man power can keep the States together many years
longer, except at the price of a sweeping act of Afri
can emancipation throughout the South.”
MB. SEWARD'S MOVEMENT.
The motion of the Honorable member from rhomas
county, to commit the Suite to the fortunes of tlie
Democratic nominees of the next Baltimore Conven
tion, for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, was cer
tainly a very modest proposition, from that side of the
house. We do not, however, much wonder at tlie
movement, inasmuch as the indications previously
pointed, somewhat significantly, to such a result. It
was understood, that the Southern Rights party had
resolved to disband and plant themselves upon the 4th
Resolution of the Union Platform, for the future, for
the purpose of saving themselves from perdition and
of securing the nomination of a sound Northern
Democrat for the Presidency whom they could support.
It was also given out that the Whig party of the North
was not likely to furnish a sound candidate for the same
office. This taken in connexion with the declarations
of a distinguished Whig leader that he had more con
fidence in the northern Democracy than in northern
Whiggery, and that lie would prefer a candidate from
the former to one from the latter, may have had some
influence on Seward to test the sincerity of such pro
fessions, as well as to ascertain how far capital could
be made out of such a state of things. The result, we
trust, will satisfy him and his associates, that the l nion
party of Georgia is not yet ready to embark in a
scheme which is bound to enure to the benefit, chiefly,
of the Fire-Eaters, At all events, Mr. S. has received
a very significant hint, that he must content himself
with following, for the present, in the wake of others,
instead of attempting to set himself up as a leader
of the Union Cohorts. Goto, Mr. Seward! We will
receive you into our ranks as a new recruit only, till
you have proven your fidelity and patriotism —when,
if you behave yourself properly, we will let you rise
according to your merits and actual services. Be it
remembered, that the ‘ Brevet ’ honors have all been
awarded, and you must have patience till the next earn
paign furnishes another crop of heroes, who have ‘risked
their lives’ and spent their Mood and treasure in theglo
i ious cause ! At least, you will then have a chance of
being placed on the party pension list, or on that of a
standing candidacy for promotion, whenever timeaqd
tide are favorable!
Business of Macon.
The ruin of the business of Macon the present sea
son, and the cause of that ruin, to the extent perhaps
of several hundred thousand dollars, is thus graphically
set forth in the Macon correspondence of the Savan
nah Daily News of Tuesday last:—
“ That the present hard times might not sit too light
ly upon us as a eity we are suffering the evils of a
tainted reputation, and as usual in such eases, the taint
becomes wider the further it is wafted. The truth is
bad enough, but fiction lias been so fruitful and frightful,
that the country is impregnated with a perfect frenzy.
The facts are simply these: A family from Scotland
arrived at New York sick with the small-pox ; they
were sent to the hospital, cured, and discharged ; they
embarked on a Saturday, for the South, on board the
steamer Florida , as deck passengers, and on Sunday
the mother discovered that her child, about five years
old, the only one that escaped on the voyage, was brok
en out with the disease. Fearful of being discovered,
she concealed it from observation, and succeeded in
escaping detection till their arrival at Macon. There
they were taken by the city authoii'ics, and lodged in
an unoccupied house about three miles from town. —
About two weeks after this, the child of a Mr. Smith,
living about a mile from the house, was taken sick. It
is not known how the child became infected, —prob-
ably front straying away, and visiting the Scotch fami-
ly before sufficient guards were stationed. This was
so light a case that considerable doubt existed as to its
identity; some believed it to be only a case of chicken
pox, and we were getting over the fright finely, when
one our of worthy citizens felt himself called on to settle
the vexed question,—to dispel the doubt, and modestly
to decide ‘when doctors disagreed.’ Accordingly, one
leisure day , he visited the debatable ground, and ful
ly sal is tied himself that there had been a great deal
of needless alarm. The recent case was clearly the
chicken-pox—'nothing more’ How he obtained ad
mission to the premises has never been clearly explain
ed, perhaps his connection with the press was a pass
port, (at the Fair it was not so current I believe.) He
that as it may, two Weeks trom the date of this ‘ex j
cursion ,’ some novel sensations induced certain *conji
de.nces’ with his medical confessor, which ended in
the conviction that, if he had not the small-pox, it was
a very agravated case of the pip. He is now paying
for his view of the menagerie. Were lie the only
sufferer, every one would say ‘ served him right .-’ 1
rather think they do‘any how.’ His is the only case
in town, and yet it acts like a blighting mildew on all
the interests of the place, rendering our streets desolate,
and our prospects gloomy in the extreme.
Yours truly, TIM FUDGE.
The Penitentiary.
Several weeks since, we took the liberty of speaking
of various rumors afloat in Milledgeville concerning the
mismanagement of the State Prison and of the bribery
and corruption which has prevailed there, in reference
to the discharge of convicts. Since that, we are glad
to sec that the Legislative Committee on the Peniten
tiary have commenced a rigid investigation of the af
fairs of the Institution and will shortly be prepared to
make a report in the case. In the mean while, suffi
cient has leaked out to show that this Mechanical
College is a public nuisance, and a heavy bill of ex
pense both to the financial and moral health of the
State, The waste and destruction of materials —the
want of efficiency in the management and skid in the
convict operatives are so palpable as to call for an entire
change of the system or its abolishment altogether,
file gross injustice to the honest mechanics of the Stut-’
is also a serious evil, which, we trust, will be taken into
consideration by the Committee and a remedy reported.
Now is the time for the mechanics to call fora redress
of grievances on this head which have long weighed
them down in the dust of degradation. In the lan
guage of a Tennessee mechanic* writing against the
proposed establishment of a Penitentiary in Memphis,
“‘no one who studies the mechanical and man fact u ring
interest, connected with the prosperity of the State, can
desire to see an Institution erected in their midst w lteie
the capital of the State and tin* labor of convicts of
every grade arc to be brought into competition with the
capital ami labor of honest, sober, industrious and en
t rprising mechanics.'’ “In my humble opinion ‘ says
the same writer, “it would he far better for the Legis
lature to authorize a chain gang; and instead of put
ting men up to fatten for their crimes, put them to work
on the streets or landings, as some other cities do. J”i r
on the State Hoaus and in Quarries. — Ed. CJizeii .]
so that, instea 1 of being a dead expense to th/ State,
they, or many of them, would pay for their bread at
least, and thereby prevent their labor front being put
on a level with upright and honest mechanics.’’
This is plain talk, but pertinent to the case in hand,
and we call upon the mechanics of Georgia, to let their
voice be heard at once, on a subject of such vital im
portance to the industrial pursuits of the Common
wealth. Heforc this, the memorial ordered by the At
lanta Convention of Mechanics, on this and kindred
topics, should have been placed on the tables of the
members. It is not yet too late, perhaps, to call the
attention of the Legislature t> the matter, and wo be
lieve the time is opportune for discussion and the ne
cessary reform.
Fowl E?osn??s.
We notice with eggxu't\n(( feeling, (says an ex
change,) and with no ii;i|irelieiision of failure thereunto
eoMtieetiinr itself, that the Fowl Society held t< annual
Roosting and Cackling oil tile Ist inst . Some loud
crowing took place on the occasion. Deacon Dirking
and Strnor Shangar , witti several distinguished charac
ters from China, danan, Malay and Africa, were the
•'observed of all observers,” or to speak more classical
ly, were ‘‘cocks of the walk,’’ at the grand fluttering.
llev. Professor Combi’ performed the usual matin and
vesper service, and Captain Peter Rooster had
of the chanticleer night-watch, who took notes ol the
passing hours, while the ladies of the harem, arrayed
in dazzling plumage and full feather , scratched
down every kernel of interest that came under their
observation through the day. There were also some
delicious flirtations observable among the young people
of the Dove Cote. Such a “billing and cooing*’ was
never witnessed before, leading we doubt not, to some
serious matrimonial engagements, anil the advancement
of the science of Hen ology and its kindred branches in
all our borders.
Awardin'? Enemies.
Somebody hits somebody a well-merited lick, in the
following paragraph, in reference to the horse-leech
division ofa Party in Mississippi. As the Almanac ma
kers say, it will suit almost any meridian ol latitude:
“The cool and modest way in which the new con
verts to “submission’’ ask the people to elect them to
till all the offices, is admirable. Nad Santa Anna, al
ter the battle of Buena Vista, asked old Zaek to dismiss
his subordinates, his aids .and his body guard, and
lake the Mexican officers into his immediate confidence
and favor, it would not have been a whit more impu
dent.’’
Mr. Fillmore. —The Memphis Enquirer quotes
from the Federal Union and Savannah Georgian to
prove that Mr. Fiilmore is a great favorite with Geor
gians. and predicts that lie will sweep every State South
of Mason’s & Dixon’s line, in spite of all the efforts
of politicians to the contrary. We see no indications
whatever of Mr. Fillmore’s strength in Georgia. He
is respected highly, but will hardly get the vote of Geor
gia for President.
The Public Printing- -Col. Onne, of the
Milledgeville Recorder, in speaking of the election of
S. T. Chapman as Public Printer, over himself, says:
“It is perhaps due the writer, who was the candi
date, to add, for the satisfaction of friends abroad, that
the united “Southern Rights’’ vote wa- cast agah.st
us, in consequence of our not being willing to divide
the printing with our political opponents. It is under
stood, that in its present division, the “Federal Union
and “Macon Telegraph,’’ participate.’’
It is also understood that one or two other disunion
prints have a small share of the spoils! The thankful
boast of the successful candidate is therefore nothing
but a “glorying in his own shame.’’ In the Ist place
he is not a printer, and therefore not entitled to tin
preference in this matter, over practical craftsmen,
•idly. lie is not entitled to it on the score of service,
and 3dlv, His coalition with the disunion presses to
get it, proves his unworthiness, on principle, to obtain
6uch a favor from a Union Legislature.
Montgomery Manufacturing Company
Mr. Geo. Robinson, a gentleman well known to the
dozens of Macon, arrived in town, Wednesday, on bu
siness connected with the establishment of Gindrat &
Cos. of Montgomery Ala. # Mr. R. is Agent lor the
sale of the Company’s manufactures, such as Steam
Engines, Water Wheels, of Rich’s Center Vent Pat
ent, &e. He is on a tour through the Bouth-West
counties* of Georgia, between Macon and the Florida
line, and will personally attend to nil orders for said
wheel, on receiving notice, addressed to him at each of
the Court House Post Others on his route. Those in
want of a superior Water Wheel will do well to em
brace this opportunity of obtaining one suited to their
respective mill privileges.
Removal of the Seat of Government
Resolutions have been introduced into both Honses
of .the Legislature, on the subject of a removal of the
Sent of Gevernment from Milledgeville, to some other
place. These resolutions leave the matter to the vote
of the people, at the next election for Governor, by
endorsement of the words Atlanta, Macon or Milledge
ville, on the tickets. They also pr<qx>se the appoint
ment of a Committee by the Governor, to ascertain
what kind of a site can be procured, what terms and
cost of buildings, and what amount Macon and Atlan
ta would contribute to the purpose in the event of re
moval to either of said cities—the Committee to re-
port to the next Legislature. This is a movement of
the people of the Rail Road City to get the State House
off to one side of the commonwealth, which needs some
watching. We therefore propose an amendment that
a plurality of all the votes of the people will be neces
sary to justify the removal. If, for example, Atlanta
should receive a litt’e over a thiid, and Milledgeville
and Macon each a little under a third of all the votes
cast, we should object to the removal to Atlanta, as net
being called for by the public voice. We are willing,
however, to compromise with our Atlanta friends, and
give them the Penitentiary, if they will allow us to take
the Capitol. What say you Hro. Reneau, to this liberal
proposition ?
Rates of Wharfage and Dockage.
“W ’’ the Milledgeville correspondent of the Sa
vannah Republican, is exceedingly wroth with Repre
sentative Moorehouse of Bibb, for daring to offer a Bill
to the Legislature, regulating the rates of wharfage,
dockage and storage in that city, and characterizes the
movement as an unwarrantable and unprecedented med
dling with other people’s business, which deserves re
buke. All this is very excruciating, certainly, but per
haps when the subject is investigated, it will be found
that the whole State is interested in the proposed a
mendment, as to rates of wharfage, &c. Every mer
chant of Georgia, and every trader, who has occasion
to ship goods per Savannah, is interested to prevent
extortion in those rates or any other abuses which
may exist, and the Legislature have as much right to
regulate the same as to regulate the rate of interest <>n
money, or the rate of domestic taxation.
We have been informed, on good authority, that the
present rates of wharfage £:c. were adopted some years
ago, ami that a modification thereof now, is demanded
on the principles of justice and equity. For example
when two wheel gigs and sulkies were in fashion, fifty
cents’ wharfage was charged on each Vehicle,
and one Dollar on each four wheel carriage.—
Now, Buggies or light 4 wheel Whichs are substi
tuted for the Gig and Sulky, and are about of the same
bulk and weight. On these, however, SI is still
charged—thus placing the light Vehicle on the same
basis with the heavy Carriage of ten times its value!
On the other hand, wo are told that a hogshead of su
gar is subject to only 12 cts. charge for wharfage, and
a ton of loose coal 35 cents. If these are facts, it is
evident that a great and burdensome inequality in the
rates does exist, and should be amended. Moreover,
it is the int rest of the people of Savannah to meet the
proposition in a liberal spirit, an 1 not gtl their backs
up, because the representative of Bibb county fell it
his duty to propose an amendment to the regulations
aforesaid. It was not perhaps to be expected that the
Chatham Delegation would voluntarily attempt a re
form in a matter that might militate against the inter
ests of wharf owners in Savannah, but surely, they
will not be so void of public spirit as to oppose the Bill
of Mr. Moorehouse, on that account, provided the
general interests of commerce through that seaport
should demand its passage. We are not, of course,
prepared to say, that the provisions of the Bill arc
-noli as they ought to be, but one thing we do know,
that many of the people of Macon and of the State are
decidedly of the opinion that the Savannah rates of
wharfage, drayage, Ac. wdl admit of considerable reform
before they are placed on an equitable basis.—.
At all events, the existence of ‘rottene.ss” in Mr. Moore
house’s “own Denmark,’’ is no good reason why he
ought not to endeavor to apply Legislative chloride
for the removal of “rotlcness” wherever it may be
found prejudicial to the commercial health of his own
constituents, as is believed to be the case m the present
instance.
An Expensive Member. —a Fire-eating
member ol the Legislature, from the South-west, is at
this time occupying more of the time of that body titan
comes to bis share, and what is worse, ail bis projects
are such palpable attacks upon the public Treasury for
private and local objects as to make himself ridiculous.
The same honorable gentleman, we understand, de
clined serving on tht Rail Road Commission, for fear
the $200,000 he is after, “with a sharp slick,” might
suffer diversion, during bis absence ! If lie will for
bear occupying more than one tenth part ol the time
of the House for the balance* of the session, it would
be a saving to the State to give him a few thousands
bonus and leave of absence.

Dan Rice, the celebrated Equestrian, has lately ml*
a present of Fifty Dollars towards the building of a

comes quite complimentary, as will be seen from tin
annexed extract from his letter of thanks:
‘‘For your generous liberality you wilt please secvpi
not only our thanks, but the* sincere thanks of .hr
Church over which I have the honor to preside it
Pastor. We will long remember your kindness, gene
rosity. and the very pleasant, though biiif acquaint
ance, which we formed with you on the occasion of our
Fair, for whilst we were charmed w ith the brilliant flow
of your wit, we were not less favorably impressed ;th
the phasing urbanity which characterized your deport
ment on that interesting occasion. W here ever r'ti
may be called in the discharge of your labor.oni pr-
Cession, you will carry with you our strongest wial**
for your prosperity, your present and futur* wtlfarv. I
remain with great respect, v< mrs truly,

Some persons may sneer ; t this manifestation of re
gard from a pious clergyman to an Equestrian gentle
man, but, for our part, we l.ke to see it. loan Hies
a very clever fellow, and h.s liberality to the Church
docs not commit the latter to an unqualified approba

Nor does a just appreciation by the Rev Mr. Bnrni
ot Mr. II cc’s “brilliant flow of wit,”’ ‘pleas ng urbani

shown himself above the paltry prejudice of tit s ani

present but in making his acknowledgment there for, in
a grateful and becoming manner.
