IMPORTANT REMOVAL—COBB DEMOCRACY. We learn since the Democracy of Cobb have succeeded so admirably, that “ Martin” has concluded to emigrate hither. We would advise him to remain where he is. The climate of Fulton is not more genial to him, than Cobb, and then his bnsiness here is so picayunish, that contempt it self would scorn to be caught in company with it. THE REPUBLICAN. We beg pardon for mistaking our neigh bor's Phoenix, for a Goose. Wo must confess that we have paid but little atten tion to Mythology for many, many years, and that almost any school boy in the land, particularly with a dictionary of science, literature, and art, before him, could have enlightened ua upon the subject. We should have known better, had we thought, for a moment of the Senior Editor's ac knowledged literary taste, but we were thinking of the Junior when we wrote; his disposition for a joke at any body’s ex pense ; and on “ Buster’s account, we arc convicted of a literary blunder For the future, lead us not into temptation, dear “ Buster,” lest we mistake another Phoe nix for a Goose, THE DECLARATION OF INoYpENDENCE-WHERE IT WAS WRITTEN. We find the following in the Philadel phia Ledger of the 28th: It has been stated that the Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson, in the old building corner of Fifth and Minor streets, known as Jeffer son Wigwam, recently destroyed by fire. Other places have also been named, but the following letter from Mr. Jefferson to Dr. Mease, of this city, would indicate that that instrument was written in the build ing, still standing, at the south-west cor ner of Seventh and Market streets: Mowthello, Sept. 16, 1825. Dear Sir: It if not for me to estimate the importance of the circumstances con cerning which your letter of the Sth makes inquiry. They prove, even in their min uteness, the sacred attachment of our fel low citizens to the event of which the pa per of July 4, 1776, was but the declara tion, the genuine effusion of the soul of our country at that time. Small things may, perhaps, like the relics of Saints, help to nourish our devotion to this holy bond of our Union, and keep it longer alive and warm in our affections. This effect may give importance to the circurn stanooa, however small. At the time of writing that instrument, I lodged in the bouseufa Mr Graff, anew brick bouse, three stories high, of which I rented the second floor, consisting of a parlor and bed-ioom, ready furnished. In that par lor I wrote habitually; and in it wrote this paper in particularly. So far, I state from written proofs in my possession.— The proprietor, Graff, wan a young man. son of a German, and then newly married. I think he was a brick-layer, and that hie house wm on the south side of Market street, probably between Seventh and •ighih sUects, and iinit the only horse on that part of the street, I am sure there wen 1 few others near it. I have some i ien that it was a corner house, but no other recolli ctiona throwing any light on the question or worth communication. I will, therefore, only add assurance of my «»■' raapect and esteem. TH. JEFFERSON Dr: James Mease, Philadelphia THE 010 ISSUES COMING ON. The Philadelphia North Lmoricau is very earnest in advocating the restoration of the United State* Bank. The Buffalo Ki prana and other papers signify a willing, neas to accept such an institution, as a measure of relief. A number of whig papers intimate a willingnoHM to support the passage of a ceueral bankrupt law, as a measure of re lief. The protectionist papers revive then old theories, and would organize anew their larcenous schemes, for the relief of the country • The side organisation of the whigs in the lodges propose to revive the alien and sedition laws, to limit religious liberty, and proscribe alien-born American*. There will bo something for democrats to do for the next half dozen years, for those schemes of paper money, repudia tion, extortion and prescription, are lev elled at the aim, to promote the inter rats and feed the prejudices of an exclu sive els*e.— ‘Day Book, •• THE BANK WAR." We copy the following article from the Macon Journal & Messenger, and com mend its perusal to • our readers. In the main, it is what we have been stating, and urging upon the people, for weeks past That by any system of banking, or bank wars, the interests of agriculture and com merce in our State, should be so prostrated, is outrageous, and should be made the subjeet of special legislation in the future Here we are in the early part of January, the business season, emphatically, in the State, and what do we witness? We an swer, this: The produce of the country pouring, as it were, into market, and in stead of the banks affording business, if not generous, facilities for its purchase* we see them like dog and cat worrying each other—in fact, waging a deadly war— in the pursuit of which the greatest suf ferer is the producer. The people must , take some course to remedy this crying evil. If they do not, they will be the victims of their bantlings brought into be ing by their own representatives. But > there is a consolation left them, and that ' is this one reflection, the creator can de i stray ! “ Last Fall, at the commencement of the i business season, as every one of our read j ers, who have any interests in such mat ters, are aware, the Banks of Savannah, formally declared war against the Country ’ Banks, and attempted to discredit their bills, by refusing to receive them at the mother Bank, and at many of the Agen cies with which they have covered the in terior of the State. This war we regret to know, still continues, adding very seriously ’ to the financial embarrassments of the country, and it seems to us, that it is time the Press should notice it, should bring its causes and its merits before the people, and direct public opinion against the par ties, who have caused this additional trouble. The Interior Banks have not of course, submitted quietly to this policy of the Banks of Savannah. To refer only to one incident of thia War of the Banks, which particularly interests us, and the people of Savannah, —the Merchants Bank of Ma con, one of the discredited, under a very proper sense of injury, and in order to re taliate, commenced a heavy run upon the Bank of Savannah, and has continued it for several weeks, drawing within that time, a large amount of specie from its vaults, sending its circulation back upon it in a flood, and seeming determined by the tenacity with which it holds on, and by the vigor with which it prosecutes the war fare to make that institution, at least, pay for its temerity in tampering with a wild cat The consequence of all this is almost a total suspension of all Bank accommoda tions, greatly embarrassing the commercial community of Macon and Savannah ; and a general want of confidence, and co-op eration among our Banking institutions, which in times like these, is a misfortune to the publie generally. Now, we would take occasion simply to say, that all such Bank quarrels, are im proper and reprehensible; that extraordi nary franchises are granted them, for the public convenience, and to aid the com tnercial communities in which they are lo cated, instead of adding to their embar rassments ; and that as to the issue which the Bank of Savannah has made with the Merchants' Bank of Macon, it is ill-timed 1 and unadvised. As to the merits of this controversy we i only know, as we have stated, that it orig • inated in an attempt on the part of the Bank of Savannah co discredit the bills of the Interior Banks, which we repeat was ill-timed, and so far as the Banks of Macon (The Merchants and the Manufacturers,) are concerned, entirely unnecessary as; they have small circulation within the. State, are easy of access to all who want | specie for their issues and are as safe and sound, we honestly believe, as any other banking institution in the State. The ' Merchants Bank of Macon, has its princi- 1 pal circulation out of the State, and is. known as a “ Wild Cat.” Os the system of Wild Cat Banking, all we can fay, is that we disapprove of it. But we disap prove quite as much of the policy which ' our city Banks in Savannah and Augusta , have adopted, toward the Wild Cats, —in • putting them all iu the same category with out reference to the character or responsi bility of the parties contr.iling them.—in assuming as a fixed fact, that all of them are organized with malice aforethought to I defraud the public, in refusing their bills, and treating them so that they are obliged necessarily to retaliate. The question we i would present, M whether as a matter ol policy it is wise at thia particular juncture, when that ugly customer “Hard Times,” ' is omnipresent, to make an issue with the! Wild Cats, when the Wild Cats have the game in their own hands. This is the i question which Savannah Banks and Sa- I vannuh stock holders should consider.— Public opinion in this community, will' sustain the Merchant* Bank of Macon as t long as it continues its run up on the Bank ! ■ of Savannah. The discounts of 1} per 1 cent upon 60 day bills predicated < n pro duce forwaided to Savannah and Charles lon and New York, which are exacted bx I Agencies in this ( icy of the Domesticated ’ Cats of Savannah, and the policy of these 1 Agencies generally. incline our biuinofe* men to sympathise with the Interior Banks 1 Still they desire that “ the War of the Banks” may stop where it is, so do the I people of Savunnnh, so do at least thrt portion of its people who view with intel ligent concern, the gradually diminishing circulation ot ita Banks.” ÜB»Four millions of Mink rifle ball cartridges were lately forwarded froinjthe Royal Arsenal a* Woolwich, England, for um in the Crimea. THE OLD COLONY SWEET CORN- The editor of the Granite Farmer, who has given this superior corn a fair trial, pronounces in its favor as follows: “We have cultivated the present season three varieties, Stowell’s Evergreen, Dar ling’s Extra Early, and Old Colony. Os Darling’s Extra Early, we would say that it is a good variety, but not extra early at all, at least with us. Planted at the same time with the others, it is in eating at the same time. To be sure, wc have this va riety on the table first, because we planted it in our garden, two weeks, perhaps, be fore the other kind. With us, it is simp ly a good corn. We planted Stowell’s Evergreen Sweet as much for curiosity as anything We wished to see if it would keep green for ever. We had formed the opinion that it was not a first rate table corn, that it was large and coarse, with not a delicate flavor. But in this we have been happily disappointed. It is a prime table corn; with full, deep grains. We tried it after having eaten several meals of Darling’s extra early. It was unanimous ly pronounced the best corn; it was furth er said, by several who tried it. to be the best sweet corn they had ever eaten. We congratulated ourselves upon the acquisi tion and vowed a spot in our garden to it ever after. But we had not then tried the Old Colony Sweet. This we tried upon the strength of its being the ‘sweetest and best table corn ever cultivated,’ and it has ful ly borne out that reputation. We gave it a full trial. It was first cooked with tome of the Evergreen Sweet. This lat ter was eaten first, and as it had become to be a favorite corn, it received its due meed of praise But when the Old Colo ny came on its turn, there was a unaniro -1 ous exclamation of its superiority. The test was a fair one and somewhat extended. No hasty conclusion was form ed; ear after ear was tried, until ajl at the table were impressed that the Old Cono ny led the list. Still the trial has been adjourned from day to day, but with no changes in the result* As a table corn, we give the palm, without hesitation, to the Old Colony.— We shall try to save from the grinders which are neither few nor small, some seed with which we can supply our friends if desired.” The above corn has been cultivated in this city for the two past seasons, and we cheerfully coincide in the opinion of its superiority expressed by the Editor of the Granite Farmer. Three plantings-—one in April, one in May, ami the other the last of June—will supply the table with the most luscious green corn from July until November. A few packages con taining 4CO kernels, warranted true, can be had at Rose Cottage Garden, in this city, at 20 cents a package. [ —Milledge- ville Southern Recorder. THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY. Under the above head, we find the fol lowing article in the Coos (New Hamp shire) Democrat: “The noble democracy of Virginia, by the nomination of Henry A. Wise, has done one good thing at least. It has taken with its candidate a bold, honest, and unwavering stand against know-noth ingism. It has firmly and unitedly gone forth to meet and resist its advancing tide and set it, vaunting and audacious ns it is utterly at defiance. “In doing this, as on several former occassions, the democracy of Virginia has set a noble example, which the democracy of the whole Union ought to be proud to follow; which they must follow unless they are prepared to desert their own ■ platform, make war on their own usages and annihilate their own strength “What has democracy anywhere right ly to do with religious proscription and sectional intolerance other than to resist them? What has democracy to do in midnight consultation with whigs and free-j soilers’ Democrats who are insane e nough, still remaining democrats to enter, these underground conclaves arc received 1 there with hostile purposes to themselves and their principles. “Will you walk into my parlor, Said the spider to the fly.’’ The spider vas a know-nothiig swol len with venom against democracy, and the fly some wavering democrat, likely to ba ensnared. True democrat* are of lar ger growth and strong enough to sweep through all the snares the enemy may spread for them “We hope that here and everywhere democratic candidates may be found will ing and ready to meet and resist, this new faction. Wo second in that matter the derira of the Union Democrat to see it met with defiance. We hope to see upon this question, as upon many others the Granite State and the Old Dominion upon the same broad and liberal platform contending iu the same bold* =uid honest spirit ” Mr. Win. Dillehunt, a practical mechanic of Baltimore, has invented ami' chine to feed printing presses, which the editor of the Baltimore Sun saw do the work, and could not detect a point where it could tail. This is a great desideratum to all connected with the press, and we trust it wil soon be brought into general use. 53?" A good anecdote is told of an old Methodist Preacher, who rode a eircui ta e v years ago. While going to cue of hit appointment*, he met an old acquaintance who was one of the magistrates of tb< county. He asked the minister why he didn’t do as the Savior did—ride an ass “Because,” aaid tho divine, “the people have taken them all to make magistrate' of.” Ssjy* It is said that the committee on foreign relations of Congress will report in favor of making the Government of tin Hague reconsider and modify their action in the Gibson case, even if coercive meas ures become necessary for that purpose. , THE MORMON DIFFICULTY. ! * A writer in the Washington Star, after' expressing the opinion that the rebent ap pointment of a military Governor fer Utah may do good, but cannot overcome the difficulties of the case, proceeds thus to illustrate those difficulties and to propose a remedy, a simple easy and, he thinks, ef fectual one: “So long as the legislature and jurors of the territory, the main elements in all gov ernments, consist of Mormons, as they must, Brigham Young will control them as he pleases, and will be really, to all in tents and purposes, Governor of tjie ,Ter , ritory. A unanimous Mormon Legisla» ture can pass any law they please; the vote of the legitimate Governori' A unanimous Mormon jury can find any rer-1 diet they please, in violation of the.Uwas given to them by the court, and thTflsame influence which controls the finding, will , control the public opinion there in sup porting the same. The military, of course, 1 could neither control the enactments of the one nor the verdicts of the other.— To illustrate this: Suppose the Govern ment should erder the arrest and trial of Brigham Young, for embezzling the $20,- 000 sent out to the Territory for the erec tion of public buildings. Os what avfiil wou’d it be? Would a Mormon grand jury find a bill against him? Or,if found, would a Mormon traverse jury convict the head of their church? Suppose a judg ment in a civil suit was obtained against him, how could the Government reap its fruits ? An execution and levy on his, property would amount to nothing as none | of the faithful would dare to bid against ! his orders. In the hands of the Govern- 1 ment or a gentile purchaser, the property i would be valueless. It is the knowledge ■ of this absolute immunity from responsi bility and punishment that encourages them in their defiance of the Government.” , Now for the Remedy. “ Let the Territorial organization be | abolished or repealed. Divide the Terri tory geographically, and assign each di vision, respectfully, to the jurisdiction of New Mexico, California, Oregon, Nebras ka, and Kansas. While this plan will completely strip the Mormon Chui ch of , civil authority, and destroy her power to harm, every citizen and inhabitant will I be secured in every right and privilege 1 conferred by the Constitution. They will have the benefit of a representation in the ’ Territories to which they belong, and j through them, in Gongress.” [From the Southern Recorder,] HIRING SLAVES. Messrs. Editors Nothing could il- ’ lustrate more strongly the propriety of the Supreme Ccurt decision, upon this sub ject, than the case which gave rise to it- I'octor Thompson, of Atlanta, hired a negro man belonging to the estate of some , orphan, for? 90. A case of small pox oc curred iu the Hotel during the year, and this boy contracted the disease. Without notifying Wm. Latimer, the Guardian, who lived some 6 or 8 miles from town, of his | sickness, Doctor Alexander was called in. I who treated the case successfully, and charged 8100 for his services. And fault is found with the Court for holding Doctor Thompson, and not the es tate, should pay the physicians bill 1 Com ment is unnecessary. Th' facts speak for themselves. The law as laid down by the Court in this case obtains in North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama. And when it is J I recollected what a large portion of the ' slaves hired out yearly belong to widows and orphans, it is only a matter of surprise that a different custom should so long have! obtained in some portions of this State. It, originated in a mistaken view of policy in j relation to the matter. I This and the kindred decision, by the same tribunal, to the effect, that one to i whom a slave is hired for a year is entitled ! to no abatement of the price because ot! the death of the slave, after the commence-1 ment of tho term, will, if let alone do much to protect this species of property.
