Tbs papers are rprod offing a letter written in 1857 by Mr. Macauley to Hon. Henry S. Ran dall, in acknowledgement of the receipt of a copy of the “Life of Jefferson” then just pub lished by that gentleman. Since that time, popular theories have surged onward with tre mendous impulses, and have thrown aside ev ery qualification prescribed by Jeffereon him self. Jefferson never favored universal suf frage without distinction of race, oolor, previ ous ocodition, or any qualifications for its dis creet examine. But the advance so-called Dem ocratic column of to-day ia ahead of the most aggressive position of the wildest universal suf fragist of flva year* ago, and we may aafely prediet that in four yean from this Ume there will be a numerous and well organized party ' the United States, clamoring not only for uni versal suffrage without distinction of color Mi, but for the abolition of property rights and the subordination of eveiy private right and interest to the will of the majority aa rep resented by the Government. Nor, if we may credit reports, ia the so-called advance lem startling in England. In a word, the contro versy foreshadowed in this letter is ^question ably coming: Hoixt Lodoz, KmantoTow.! London, May *3, 1857. Henry 8. ItandaU, E*q.: Dean Sib : You are surprised to learn that have not a high opinion of Mr. Jefferson, and I am surprised at your surprise. I am certain that I never wrote a line, and that I never, in Parliament, in conversation, or even on the hustings—a place where it is the fashion to oonrt the popnlaoe—uttered a word indicating an opinion that the supreme authority in a State ought to bo intrusted to the majority of citizens told by the head; in other words, tc the poorest and most ignorant part of society. I have long been ooovinoed that institutions purely Democratic must, sooner or later, de stroy liberty, or civilisation, or both. In Europe, where the population is dense, the effect of each institutions would be almost in stantaneous. What happened lately in Franoe is an example. In 1848 a pure Democracy was established there. Daring's short time there was reason to expect a general spoliation, a na tional bankruptcy, a new partition of the soil, a maximum of prices, a ruinous load of taxation laid on the rich for the purpose of supporting the poor in idleness. Such a system would in twenty yean have made France as poor and barbarous as France of the Carlovingians. Happily the danger waa averted, and now there is a despotism, a silent tribune, an enslavzd press. Liberty is gone, but civilization has been saved. 1 have not the smallest doubt that, if we had a purely democratic government here, the effect would be the same. Either the poor would plunder the rieb, and civilization would perish, or order and property would be saved by e strong military government, and liberty would perish. You may think that your country enjoys an exemption from these evils. I will frankly own to you that I am of a very different opinion.— Your fete I believe to be certain, though it ie deferred by a physical cause. As long as you have a boundless extent of fertile and unoocu- pied land, roar laboring population will be far more at case than the laboring popnlation of tbo Old World; and while that is the case the Jeffersonian policy may oontinue to exist witb- ont earning any fatal calamity. Bat the time will oome when New England will be as thickly peopled as Old England. Wages will be as low, and will fluctuate aa much with you as with us. You will have your Manchester. and Bir mingham*, and in those Manohesters and Bir mingham! hundreds of thonsands of artisans will assuredly be eometlmrs out of work. Then your institutions will be If airly brought to the test. Distress everywhere makes the laborer mnti nous and duoontented, and inclines him to lis ten with eagerness to agitators who tell him that it ia a monstrous iniquity that ono man should havo a million while another caouot get a full meaL In bad years there is plenty of grnnlbling here, and sometimes a little rioting. But it matters little. For here the sufferers are not the rulers. The supreme power ie in the bends of class, not numerous indeed, but select, of an edu cated class, of a class which ia and knows itself to be deeply interested in the security of prop erty and the maintenance of order. Accordingly the malcontents axe firmly yet gently restrained. The bad time is got over withont robbing tho wealthy to relieve the indigent. The springs of national prosperty soon begin to flew again; work is plentiful wages rise, and all is tran quility and cheerfulness. I have seen England pass three or four limes through such critical seasons as I have de scribed. Through such seasons the United States will have to pass In the oourso of the next century, if not of this. How will you pass through them? I heartily wish you a good de liverance. But my reason and my wishes are at war, and I cannot help foreboding the worst. It is quite plain that yonr government will nevhr be able to restrain a distressed and dis' oontented majority; for with you the majority is the government, and has the rioh, who are always a minority, absolutely at its meroy.— The day will oome when, in the State of New York, a multitude of people, none of whom has more than half a breakfast, or expects to have more then half a dinner, will choose a Legisla ture. Is it possible to doubt what sort of Leg islature will be chosen ? On the one side ia a statesman preaching pa tience, respect for vested rights, strict observ ance of publio faith. On the other is a dema gogue renting about the tyranny of capitalists and usurers, and asking why anybody should be permitted to drink champagne and to ride in a carriage, while thousands of honest folks are in want of necessaries. Which of the two candi dates is likely to be preferred by a working man who hears children cry for moro bread ? I seriously apprehend that you will, in aome such season of adversity as I have described, do things which will prevent prosperity from r turning; that you will act like people would i ayeerof scarcity, devour all the seed corn, end thus make the next year a year not of scarci’y but of absolute famine. There will be, I fear, spoliation. The spoliation will increase the dis tress. The distress will produce fresh spolia tion. There is nothing to stay you. Your Const! tution is all sail aud no anchor. Aa I said lie- fore, when a society has entered on this down ward progress, either civilisation or liberty must perish. Either some Cmaar or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with a strong hand, or your republic will be as fearfnlly plun dered and laid waste by barbarians in the twen tieth oentnry as the Roman Empire waa in the fifth; with this difference, that the Huns and Vandals, who ravaged the Roman Empire, came from without, end that your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within yonr ooantxy, by your own institutions. Thinking thus, of oouree I cannot reckon Jeffereon among the benefactors of mankind. I readily admit that his intentions were good and his abilities considerable. Odious stories hare been circulated about his private life, bnt I do not know on what evidence those stories net; and I think it probable they are false or monstrously exaggerated. I have no donbt but that I shall derive both pleasure end informa tion from your aooonut of him. I have the honor to be, dear air, yonr faithful servant, T. B. Hacaunii. The Western and Atlantic Canal. The General Assembly of Georgia (aaya the New York World of the 26tb) has represented to Congress the desirability of a cheap and itood means of oommnnioation between the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic seaboard, the means proposed being a canal through Georgia connecting tbo Tennessee and Coosa riven with the Oooaa and the Oemnlgea. All possible and probable advantages which are to accrue to all sections of the Union are fnlly and perspic uously put forth, and they are neither few nor individually trifliuy. The lessening of the cost of the transportation of prodaoe which has been created by canal system of this and other States hae been brought fully to bear on the proposi tion and the cause of the memorial which pre sents it. The forced conducting of all the produce of Western industry, both mechanical and l.ndnstrial, by the proposed route, the safety of the way both -‘in war and peace,” the fact that no ioe nor any effect of rigorous winter can cause obstructions, and every possible advantage—all these things are used to have, ea they should have, a bearing on th* question at issue. The real objection to th* whole scheme is that the promulgators ilk for it government aid. To aay nothing of what the government ia at present doing in regard to the Ku-klux, reconstruction, the prospective obtaining of voice by force, and all those name less “jobs” to which at present the United States are committed, how ran the people of Georgia expect to have their industrial affaire attended to when the civil service has to be re formed? At all times there are very palpable objections to be foand against the asking of government aid; and how supremely absurd aueh asking at the present moment is, will pro bably be seen by the results of this memorial The “absurdity" will be leas apparent the more the subjeot ia considered. When the great producing States of the West find that by this route their grain and meat will find an out let to the Atlantic all the year round at leas than half the present cost, they will cease to oonaider this canal in the light of a Georgia improve ment, and mo that they have far greater inter est in it than this or any other Southern State. It ia as important a national work as the Pa cific Railroad, and rightly presented to the country will combine the hearty co-operation of least a majority of the States. It cannot too *oon be urged upon the country, and if it faila of Congressional sanction now, ia sure to re ceive it at last. The memorial asks for a dona tion of land or a loan of the credit of the Gov ernment to the extent of ten millions. ('arprt-Bamtlani tire Nmiii.* In all Times sad I’licrt-llo* It Worked In nasaachnaellaTwo « ealuriez Agb It looks odd (says the Floridian) that Massa chusetts should be quoted in justification Southern opposition to carpet-baggers. But such is the fad The people of that old oom monwealth were ones made the victims of carpet-bagger, and they protested lustily against this outrage. Ia a document bearing date April 18,1069, and entitled, “The Declaration of the Gentlemen, Merchants and Inhabitants of Bos ton and the Country Adjacent,” they complain that Sir Edmund Andros bad been brought from New York to be their Governor, and they set forth their grievance# after this manner: “The Government waa no aooner in these Hands, bnt ears was taken to load Preferments upon each men as were strangera to and haters of the people; and every one's obeervation bath noted what qualifications recommended a Man to publick offleee and Employments, only here and there a good .Van waa used, when others oould not easily be bed; the Governor himself, with Assertions now and then felling from him made us jealous that it would be thought for his Majesties IntereU, if this People were re moved end another succeeded in their room.— Aud these far-fetched Instrument# that were growing rich amouog us would gravely inform us that it teas not for Jus Majesties interest that tee should thrive. But of all our oppressors we were chiefly squeezed by a crew of abject Persona fetdoi from New York, to be the Toola of the Adver sary, standing at oar right hand; by these were extraordinary and intolerable Fees extorted from every one upon ell occasions, without any Rule* bnt those of their own insatiable Avarice and Beggary ; and even the probate of a Will most now co t aa many pound* perils; a aa it did ShCUngs heretofore: nor could a small volumo contain the other Illegalities done by these llorse Leeches in the two or three years that they have been sucking of us. * * * Persons who did but peaceably object against the raising of Taxes withont an Assembly, have been for it fined, some 90, some 80, some others 50 pounds.

In commenting upon it. the Nashville Union and American says: The carper-bagger as here pictured nearly two bun dred years ago, is true to his instincts to-day. The picture is so life-like that it seems to bare been drawn for the Southern States in the light of the past five years. The governments of the Southern States were “no aooner in these hands, bat care was taken to load preferments upon such men as wore strangers to and haters of the people end every one’s observation had noted what qualifications recommended a man to public of fices and employments; only here and there good man was used when others oould not easily be had.” biiOKUU Mil ESS.

Verdict: accidental drowning. or Bteaueus to Livenroot.—Tho long agitated project of a permanent tine of steamers direct to Liverpool from the port, it would seem, is about to be consummated. Mr. Mansergh, the owner of the British steamship Darien, arrived ’with his vessel yesterday from Liverpool via the Azores. The Darien ia an iron hnll steamer of 1,200 tons burthen, and has a carrying ca pacity of about 2,200. She will be succeeded >y another vessel to be plaoed on the route, aud which will probably arrive here in January. These steamers are well adapted to the trade of Savannah, being of tight draft, and bavin; freight room for such a cargo aa can be carrier np or down onr river withont an additional ex- lienae of lighterage. Messrs. Andrew Low A i Jo. are the agents of the Darien. We find these remarks oh the subject of railroads, in the Augusts Constitutionalist of Thursday. They express our views of the situation exactly: Bnt it is a subject of tenons apprehension that there are too many railroads in the South for the business. There is a mania for build ing them, whether the population and produc tions of the country require them or not. There can be no doubt that the great interests of the southern people would have been promo ted if a considerable part of tho moneys of late ; rears invested in railroads had been embarked in manufacturing enterprises. These wonld have utilized labor, increased value?, create: towns and villages, aud brought into existence a great amount of solid and fixed capital be longing to onr own people. Our railroads too already bnilt, and those that the new wants of ths country wonld have rendered desirable, would have shared in the general prosperity, through the increased freights and travel, that such an employment of capital wonld have pro duced. Railroads are desirable conveniences, and within the bounds of the actual needs of society for transportation, their construction adds to the general wealth. But this may be carried to excess, and become a source of em barrassment. In view of fntmc enterprises, it may not be amiss to examine the qntstion.eau- tionsly. and “ hasten slowly.” Ttic (.'real Caines Case. From the Hew Orleans Times, December 22.

Thence it is expected to take the ease to the Supreme Court of the United States, on e wnt of error. Of course the right to such a writ will be severely contested, as the grounds upon which such resort can be had are very narrow, and ths cases very few in which the Supremo Court will allow writs of error to the highest State court. Justice Bradley, of the United States Supreme Oonrt, will have to determine whether auoh writ can issue, or whoever occu pies Justice Bradley’* poet.

The citizens throughout manifested a most kindly feeling, as sisting us in removing our goods from the bnilding and in keeping watch over them when removed, to prevent the more ma'iriously inclined from stealing and appropriating them to their own nee. The fire men labored with almost superhuman exertions; the police foice watched and superintended every thing with their characteristic care and vigilence; ■ml the freedmen rendered invaluable assistance both in their efforts to assist in subduing the flzmes and in removing onr effects beyond danger.

The Georgia Radicals are rash enough to believe that in the fere of the coming Presidettial elec tion General Grant wonld be unwise ezongb to endanger hia chances for re-election by such a flagrant outrage as they would have him commit, but, however much be may have been inclined to humor his fried* in their little canrioes and wipe out a State organization to graiify tb.m, he declined to take their advice, slid they eft there in disgust A Nkwask Bceglag Kiu.m bx a Stlx-g Gun*—About 3 p. at yesterday, George Prr- ker went to his brass foundry. No. 23 Hirer street, Newark, N. J., and saw that the froat door had been broken open, apparently by bur glare. He immediately informed the police, end detectives were sent to investigate ths esse. On entering the establishment a handle of plunder was found, and the dead body of a burglar beside it on tho floor. Several robber- ries had been perpetrated at this foundry pre viously, and the proprietor had arranged spring gun with a string attached to the trigger passing along one side of the building. Tne burglar in searching for plunder bad evidently come in contact with the string, and received the contents of the gun in his left loin. His name ia William Healey, e notorious thief, who had served terms in the State Prison and in the County JaiL He lived within a few doors of the foundry.—.V. Y. tribune Dec. 2f A Lccisvnxx Harz of thz Lock —An affect ing story comes from Louisville to the following effect: Two beautiful young ladies of aristo cratic appearance were standing on the corner of Broadway and Fourth streets about 3 o’clock Friday afternoon, waiting for a ear. One was on a shopping expedition, and the other waiting to see her off. The car came np and stooped for the passenger, who turned to her friend to give the usual goodbye kiss, when by some means her arms became entangled in the curls of her friend, and just as she was tearing her self away, down came a hags blonde wig, fell ing with its mas* of rich and shining curia and crimps at their feet, end revealing a head of short, dark hair, rolled np in a tittle knot be hind, and arranged to accommodate the decep tive wig. ^ Tms ia a description of a terrible infant in Fentress county, Tennessee: ‘-The prodigy is only three year* old, and weighs seventy-five pounds, has as much beard as a twenty year old, his feet are eight inches long, though small for one of his build; he is fond of the society of girts, but the bojs he detests. Hia voice is coarse, and his fits of passion are terrific.” A minister lecturing in East Boston recently, suddenly remembered that he had agreed to marry a couple at that very time. He stopped his lecture for fifteen minutes, fulfilled his agreement, married the happy couple, and re turning finished his lecture. As thz passengers were preparing to leave their neats on the arrival of the New York train Boston the other evening, an old gentleman picked np a dark object which appeared to drop a from a lady’* bonnet. “Madam, is thl* you*? You appear to have dropped it by accident.” “Inns you, air," (placing her hand to her heed)—“a railroad accident—a misplaced switch." GEORGIA SUGAR CASE SIRUP. for ea JONES A BAXTER.
