UTION A LIST.
.* AUGUSTA:
FRIDAY. AUGUST 12, 1831.
WB understand there was much political excite
ment at Athene, but that our party was not fortun
ate enough to fix upon a tingle Candidate for Go
vernor ;—we learn too, there is no prospect of
bringing down the two gentlemen who are before
the people, and putting up Governor Troup.
Under such circumstances the chances are sup
posed to be favorable to Mr. Lumpkin’s success—;
at all events, to his getting a plurality of votes. He
will be supported by the Clark party, and the'
Troup party will be divided though not equally, I
between Gov. Gilmer and Mr. Haynes.
However feeble our voice may be—we will still
raise it fur Uni'.n —without a strung and cordial cf
foryo secure which, at the present crisis—the Troup
party must necessarily suffer defeat and perhaps!
entire extinction.
We have ever been friendly to Mr. Haynes ; we
remember his frank and energetic i course in the;
struggle which eventuated in the election of Troup
to office, and we can never forget the firmness and
earnestness with which he devoted himself to the
good cause during " the reign of terror.” We are.
most willing to see him in office because we think!
public honors should reward unbending Kepubli-j
cans j—and of his ability to perform the duties,
of the high office he seeks, we have no doubt,
as well from our long and personal acquaint-!
ance wiln him, as from close observation of his Le-’
gislative career. There are subjects—that of the |
Penitentiary for instance—his sentiments respecting
which, we do nut approve—but it is rare that the,
members of a parly are consentient upon-all points
if they agree upon great and leading principles it is
enough. 1
But with all our partiality for Mr. Haynes we
•annul be blind to the situation he occupies before
Jhe public. There can be little .question that when i
he was first announced, many leading Clark men
determined to support him—they had aided Mr. 1
Gilmer—and were disappointed t —thej had frock- ;
td him and now determined to unfrock him —and
they were gratified with the prospect of still fur
ther dividing the Troup party by selling up one of
its distinguished members in opposition td the Go
vernor. Soon howev r“ a change come o’er the
spirit of their dream (’’—they either feared the con
sequences of Mr. Haynes’ - radical ardor —or they
found themselves sufficiently strong to proclaim a
candidate of their own ; —they suddenly made their
bow to Mr. Haynes and rallied around Wilson Lump
kin—who is now the avowed candidate of the (dark
party. Mr. H. then is evidently left to the sup
port of the friends of Joel Crawford, for it is clear
enough the original Troup friends of Mr. Gilmer
will not now desert him. It follows as a necessary
consequence—if there be any such thing as reason
ing with propriety from the known to the unknown
—if the past may be at all invoked to enlighien
*the future—it follows—that Gov. Gilmer will be
sustained by a majority of Troupers—while a mm-!
ority only will be found on the side of Mr. Haynes.
If we be right in these conjectures, the proba
bility of which is cheerfully submitted to our friends,
one of two results will happen—Mr Lumpkin will
be elected by the people, or the election will be
thrown into the Legislature. It seems to us to be
the duty of every Troup man in Georgia to exert
himself to the utmost, for the purpose of averting
such consequences. Independent of all objections j
to Mr. Lumpkin as a party Candi late— there are
peculiar and pressing considerations against his ele !
vation to the chair of State at the present time. |
He is the friend of Mr. Calhoun—between whom
and the President there is an enmity so settled that
it cannot fail seriously to affect the general politics
of the country, and besides, Mr. Calhoun has just
declared strongly in favor of Nullifica
tion—a doctrine which if it ■be ever reduced to
practice, must end in consequences 100 deplorable
for the lovers of Union to contemplate without a
mingled sorrow and dismay. We would not do
Mr. Lumpkin injustice—if we know ourselves we
would not use an illogical or ungenerous argument
against him—but is he not the friend of those who,
are inimical to the man of Orleans, from whose ad- j
ministration such vast benefits have been heaped
upon the country ? Is he not the political associ
ate of one whose nullifying tenets as set forth by
himself, are hostile to the fundamental principles of |
a Federal Union ? Even were Mr. Lumpkin as we
onee thought him me of us, we could not support
him while laboring under-such liaisons and allian
ces. As little do we wish to see the election trans
ferred to the agents of the people. The principle
of our Constitution certainly requires the sovereign
power in the State to make choice of the Gover
nor, and only in the event of an unpleasant neces
siiy arising from the failure to elect by popular vote,
ia the choice transferred elsewhere. No patriot
who remembers the elections by the Legislature of
yore—can desire to see such scenes acied over a
gain at Milledgeville. For Heaven’s sake let the
people elect their Governor and let that Gov
be one whose political creed and associatior on
unequivocal ! As Mr. H's position is calculal
advance the interests of our political opponent
to injure himself and his friends—we earnest ly
it may be changed. We know that wrongs from
pur friends are most keenly felt, and we know bat
Joel Crawford and his political associates—Mr.
Haynes, among the number, hare not received
that treatment from the Troup party which they
were entitled to expect (—but regard for the public
weal should subdue all private griefs—and surely
when our old companions are in difficulty and stand
in need o r our aid -magnanimity dictates an am
nesty for the past, and our best sympathies bid us
hasten to their relief.
f, a. .j;-. t* 1 ,- v-%
We have thought much and anxiously upon this
subject, and after carefully collecting and consider
ing all the information within our reach, we come
to the conclusion j Mr. Haynes cannot be elected
Mr. Gilmer Can. Let then “ Union, Jackson and
Gilmer /” be echoed far and wide thro’ the ranks of
the Troup party—let us unite heart and hand in
. jthe blessed work of reconciliation among ourselres
(••-let us pull togelher--the long and the strong pul)
p•• al| d Mr. Lumpkin will return to his seat in Congress
_ schooled by the voice of the People, while a Troup
man will continue to occupy the executive chair.
Mr. iNaiiAat has put fortly a long letter to the
| President t it is replete with the moat malignant
feelings and wanting in the respect due to the Chief
Magistrate from one especially, who lately occupied
'a confidential post near his person. The Telegraph
praises both the letter and its author—yet we hate
been told— with something of positiveness too—“the
j Telegraph”—Mr. Calhoun’s organ be it remember
ed—"is not opposed to the administration !”
j It is said that what has been already discovered is
(nothing to what will come out after Congress con
venes. Let it all come—Ge». Jackson will sustain
no injury—even though Bulwer should make his,
promised visit to the United States, and mingling I
fact with fiction compose a new novel founded upon
recent events, and caU.il " The Dismissed.”
| General Lafafette has published a long address
!to his constituents; he evidently ihinksthe promises
ijuf the lievolution have not been fulfilled. He thus
speaks of an interview with the present King,
j "After the visit of the new Lieutenant General,
iaccompanied by (lie Deputies, to the Hotel de Ville,
-1 thought the authority and popular confidence with
I which 1 was invested gave me the right and made it
my duly, to explain myself frankly, in the name of
■ the people, to the nominated king--‘You know,’
isaid I to him, ‘that I am a republican, and that I re
gard the constitution of the United States as the most
.perfect in existence. ’ ‘1 think with you,’said the
| Duke of Orleans; ‘it is impossible to have passed
two years in America and not to be of this opinion.
| --but do you believe it expedient to adopt it, in the
situation of France, and slate of general opinion ?’
[‘No,’ I replied, ‘what the French nation wants at
i [this moment is a popular monarchy, surrounded by !
J republican, purely republican institutions.’ ‘lt is '
exactly as I understand it,’ answered the Prince. 1
■jThis mutual engagement, which may be appreci
I aled at its value, but which I hastened to make pub
. lie, was effectual in causing both those who did not
p wish for a monarch, and those who wished for any
other than a Bourbon, to rally around us.”
| The General does not approve of the pacific policy,
of Louis Philippe, and is convinced tbat.the here
ditary Peerage cannot be continued in France.

A gentlelnan arrived in New-York, on Saturday

There is one in Cornwall of a thousand horsepower !
Taking it for granted that on an average, these en

Algiers. —France seems to be silently giving sta
bility to her contiguity to Europe and other great
local advantages are considered, it is not impro
bable that this hitherto neglected and desolate tract
of country may, under the bemgn influence of
civilization, become the seat of a large population
and an active commerce. It is a remarkable proof
of the enlightened spirit of the age, that this acquisi-1
tion of France has not excited the jealously of ri

By the Mentor; at this port on Saturday, we have
received the annexed letter, dated

The Permanent Regency were nominate/1 this
day. Their names are General Lima, of Rio de

The choice seems to be satisfactory. Their func

at the age of 18 years. On this event now depends
the welfare of Brazil, inasmuch as the future state of
things will depend upon the steps they may take.
