( Sir, —This day at 11 o’clock, the Election by joint ballot of the two Houses of the General As- • sembly commenced for Judges of the following Circuits for the three years ensuing—which result- t ed as follows • NORTHERN CIRCUIT. 1 William H. Crawford 110* I Nathan C. Sayre, 103 |1 WESTERN CIRCUIT. Ist. 2d. 3d. | Charles Dougherty, 97 107 112’' A. S. Clayton, 74 88 93 * Harris, 38 18 9 I OCMULGEE CIRCUIT. - L. Q. C. Lamar, 165* .

Jenkins, was elected Attorney General, by a majority of one, over Ed uard J. Blue*. | J WE are highly gratified at many things we hear : from Milledgeville, while there arc Olliers that give us t pain. In some instances the Troup party has ob tained important advantages over its antagonists, but we are sorry to say some of its triumphs are over its own members— whose services have been faithful rand long. To those who have thus been treated— thus placed under the ban of their own party—to Judges CiviToif and Holt, and others, we would say—Fear not! time will come when justice will be done to your merits—and above all things, listen not to the voice of the Clark party—-which rings alj your wrongs in your ears, and whispers softly of ■other friends and other political associations Re member, it is belter to be deceived by our friends than to desert them, and the condition of the victim is preferable to that of the Traitor. With Governor GilmkiTs Message we have al ready expressed our general satisfaction. The policy he proposes towards the Cherokoea is cei.-inly the cr.ly one to be pursued consistently with the respect the State owes to herself. Should we stand on our rights and take/«// and complete possession of the _ ■territory—what will the world say of our humanity towards the aborigines which we have all along claimed to possess, and complained was libelously denied to us by fools and fanatics?—While the General Government is assiduously engaged in at fending to our interests, and to the interests of the Cherokees—while there is a prospect of the ultimate success of its wise exertions—why should we By putting in our sickle ere lit ripe ?’* We trust now the election for Governor is over, the appetite for Cherokee Gold will not be fostered, at the expense of 'he honor and dignity of the State —j If all endeavours to remove the Indians shall at last: prove abortive —if Mr. Wtax’s doctrines and the; power of avaricious chiefs shall be fnund superior to the dictates of reason and sound policy—it will then fee time enough to offer land sufficient for the wants of civilized man, to those who will remain within our | limits, while we till the disaffected—they must to the wilderness beyond the Father of Waters- We think the Governor unnecessarily severe up , «n the Judge of the Western Circuit and his denun ciation of that Judge’s decision we have constantly believed to be indefensible. In the name of all that Is binding in public and private life—is nothing to be aonceded to friendship and political ties ’ Was it for Governor Gilmer, to aid whose re election Judge Clayton was straining every nerve —between whom •nd the Judge there had long been a congeniality of political feelings and principles—was it for him to denounce the Judge and trample his decision un der foot ’ We say nothing of th e interference of tho Executive with the Judiciary—of the unconstitution ality of the proceeding—but it was surely (he hardest' treatment that one political and private friend ever received from another ! The Governor’s remarks upon the Penitentiary •re cogent and just, and we hope will have their full, weight with the Legislature. It would be hard in deed, if alter having broken the bloodstained whip and brand and buried them with the gory knife, be neath the foundations of a noble edifice—we should now be called upon to demolish the fair fabric and dig up the instruments of torture and shame ! Our Representatives may rely upon it—if the Peni tentiary has not succeeded with us it is not because the system is itself a bad one—but that being good —it has been grossly abused. We are not satisfied with the Governor’s remark* respecting the Militia. It seems to us that it will not do to rely wholly upon the spirit of an army— that diseipline is necessary to success in the battle fieldi and we hardly think the. proper quantum of imilitaiy skill can be infused through an annual re view only. Might not the Governor’s plan serve jtoo, to make rank in the militia less an object lo be desired, than it even Is at present ? The manner in which the men age treats of “ Re duction’’ is very judicious. Ar the people of Geor gia never to be truly represented in their Legisla tive H ills ? Is the command of the people so lemnly laid upon their servants still lo be disobeyed | with impunity ? We hope—should there be fur- I ther evasion of this important subject by the Le gislature—to see a Convention springing from the | people themselves —and proclaiming and establish- j dug their rights. The meeting at Eatonlon upon a ■ single interesting subject was eon-.uked without t [difficulty —w hy should not there be a general Con- ( jvention, established by the agency of the freemen ( of Georgia, for the purpose of reforming all the t error* of the Constitution ? We think the rematks upon our Banking Institu- , (ions do not betray an intimate knowledge of bank- 1 ing operations, and the remedy proposed will not J prove an effectual cure lo the evil pointed out. j But more of this hereafter. t Governor Gilmer has retired to private life we s would hope only for a lime. We were opposed to * his elevation— yet, for itrong, and we trust patriotic j reasons, we wished him to retain it—if we have , dwelt sometimes upon what we supposed errors in / his views and public career—we can never be in-,' sensible to his merits which are unquestionably ma-j ny and great. It would seem the Farmer Governor made a very t triumphal entry into Milledgevilie—the Recorder 1 | wishes he may leave the metropolis with the same ' eclat! T. was indeed a procession not well suited ( to the simple habits of our people nor very consi- j derate of the feelings of a fallen foe. We are hap py to see however, that it had no influence upon the conduct of Governor Gilmer—who attended * the inauguration and bow’d himself very gracefully ‘ 'out of office. j The inaugural address of the Governor is clever, [and we are told was well delivered. It is not ex plicit upon the subject of Nullification; “The| Federal Union must be preserved,” and it can only . be done by the General and Slate Governments con- ( fining themselves within their respective spheres ” , j This is very well—but whatever may be the mea-j sores he would adopt—ask the most accomplished Nullifier for his creed and he will answer you in the language of Governor Lumpkin. Governor Lumpkin assures us that tic brings n» party spirit into office—that he ha* nu pledges to ’ redeem—no vindictive feelings to gratify—he is the servant of all ! We thought during the canvass—- 1 we perceived something like pledges —but in all char ily, let us suppose ourselves deceived. If Ins Ex cellency shall perform his promise—the people of Georgia will do him ample justice and we among 1 the rest—may hail his re-election to office—bestow ■ ing our humble tribute of applause with the same sincerity that we objected to hi*present promotion.! i Os the re-elections of Judges Crawford and W. IV. Holt, we may not speak without expressing (he [high gratification we derive from these events. In these the,C 'ruwford Troup party was true to itself! But we will not emulate the cmuluet of our upon-1 nents- we will not triumph loudly over those who have suffered defeat. It is enough that we have succeeded—we arc men and may he permitted to feel for those who have not- even though they be our adversaries.; and how much more when they are our friends ! , The Ball of Legislation seems to have been brisk ly, and at once impelled. Mr. Bates has moved in the House to strike out the provision in the Land Bill, excluding diggers of gold from participation in the Land Lottery. Mr. Glascock, lo amend the pat rol Laws, and taking away the power of appeal to the Superior Court from the Court of Common Pleas i i this city, to allow appeals to a Special Jury in the same Court. Apropos the constitution should be a-i 1 mended so as to give a limited criminal jurisdiction Jto our city Court. Mr. Carnes moved to amend our > I several Laws in relation to the government of slaves. 1 — We think the whole code relating to slaves and free persons of color should be reviewed and re-! ‘formed, and should be glad to see competent per [eons engaged in so important a work—Committees I have been appointed to report Bills to establish .« | Turnpike or Rail Road Company from Eatonton to 'Augusta. Mr. Cleaveland moved a Committee to establish Congressional Districts—which project we take it, mint of course fail—Mr. Oliver , a Committee to reduce the members of the Legislature- Mr- Mays proposed to compensate Petit and Grand Ju rors, and to repeal the feeble and inconvenient Law of the last session, upon the subject of Jurors and Attorneys fees. Mr, Glascock, to our surprise, has proposed to abolish the Convention of Judges—we think neither his individual constituents nor the peo 'pie of Georgia are prepared for • step—which would down again the Judiciary into that total dark ! ness and uncertainty from which it is just emerging. ,i Mr. Glascock also moved for authority to the Go vernor lo supply Volunteer Companies of Cavalry and Infantry, with necessary arms, &c. In the Senate Mr. Mealing proposed to amend the Law for Licensing Pedlers--and Mr. Wood laid the following Resolutions upon the table : Whereas (he re election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency of the United Stales, for the uexT term is of vital importance to the best interests of the people, and will tend lo perpetuate the happi- ( ness and prosperity of our beloved country, as well [ as preserve unimpaired the “ Federal Constitution” —for the following reasons ! I lit. Because he is a decided and firm friend to the continuance of the Union of the States. —"It must be preserved.” I 2d. Because he has avowed an honest cnnvfc t tion, that the payment of the national debt is the su rest means of reconciling the conflicting interests at present existing, and thereby render permanent the blessings we now enjoy. If he is re elected there i is no doubt that all important object will be ac p complished. 3d. Because since he has been President he lias done al! in his power lo ensure to Georgia the Ter : ritory now in the possession of th* Cherokee In •it«n* . judging .heut' -b y ihf pas’, w* ;■.*) run- Ifulently rely for ilic future on Vis exercising ail hi* influence, to enforce our just rights and thereby realize to the State the possession of these land', and the citizens the enjoyment rr‘ them—for these ami other strong considerations, lie H resolved by the Sen ;te and ll'v.se of fiepre -I 1 senlatives 01 the Stale of Ve-ngm in U r. -:nu Assem bhf met, and U is ben. by n solved by the authority uj j the same.

Decidedly in favor of the principle, we cant say we are exactly satisfied with the ship shape of these Resolutions We hope they will undergo some hi fling alterations before they finally pass. Mr. Cox moved to prohibit the issue of Hank Hills under $5. Mr. Singleton, to establish common Schools throughout Georgia, and to create ;r fund for their support from the Cherokee Lands and the Poor School fund, Jac. Lc. Thus it w ill be sien that business enough is be ing carved out by our Lawmakers, that I lie whole may be conducted to a proper issue-and that few\ laws and those essentially necessary to the public wants--nitty be passed, is our ardent wish. The Rural Cabinet says 5 “Governor Lumpkin, has commenced the work of, reform -his now Secre'arie* are Messrs. James' Bozeman, John A- Cuthbcrt, and William Welhuin I understand the old Messenger, Mr. Pharr ia suffered to retain his station. I have heard of no other reform as yet, in the appointments within the gift of his Excellency.” A splendid public Dinner was given by many of his friends to Guv. Gilmer, on Thursday last at. Millcdgevillo. ( We are sorry indeed, to hear of the death of Fredericks. Fell, the Senior Editor of the Savannah! Republican. A writer in the New-York Evening Poat, says— “who shall set bounds to human ignorance ?*’ he is treating of Me Tariff and Null float ion —to which we add—“who shall set bounds to human infatuation 1” The following incident, is said to have occurred at llie late Tariff Convention : j »• Mr. Goddard, ol Connecticut, bad concluded his remarks by j stating that the gentleman frc;n iVew York, (Mr vN oodward ] I'lbho hud diti «n so many reports, could ill aw another in n shot I period; but would it be each a papt us tins body contemplated! presenting to Congress I” Id reply, Mr. Woodward rose a d observed thnt tbs last speaker wui the bearer of the memorial of the Hartford Convention to tbs Congress of the United States.
