Fields, for the Boston Book for 1800. It is taken from the proof-sheets by a correspon dent oi the New Fork Literary World : “ All the hedges are in bloom, And the warm west wind is blowing— Let me leave this stifled room, Let me go where flowers are growing! “ Look ! my cheek is thin end pale, And my pulse is yery low, F.re my sight begins to f»il, Mother, dear, you’ll let me go? “ Was not that the robin’s song Piping through the casement Wide ? 1 shall not be listening long. Take me to the meadow side— “ Bear rue to the willow brook— Let me hear the merry mill— On the orchard I must look, Ere my beating heart is still.. “ Faint and fainter grows my breath — Bear me quickly down the lane ! Mother, dear, this chill of death— I shall never speak again ! ” Still the hedges are in bloom, And the warm west wind is blowing ; Still we sit in silent gloom— O’er her grave the grass is growing. JOHJY ALCOHOL, MY JOE. John Alcohol, my Joe lohn, When we were first acquaint. I'd money in my pockets, John, Which now 1 know there ailit. I spent it all in treating, John, ISecause I loved you so; But mark me how you’ve treated me, John Alcohol, my Joe. John Alcohol, my Joe John, We’ve been too long together, So you must take ona road, John, And I will take the other ; For we may tumble down, John, If hand in hand we go, And £ will have the bill to foot, John Alcohol, my Joe. HOME, —By thk Rev. John Young. m One home is not inhere me arc, but inhere tee wish to be.” [Diamond Dust. ’Tis Homo where the hoart is, wherever that be, | In city, in desert, on mountain, in dell ; Not the grandeur, the number, the objects we see ; But that which we love is the magical spell. ’Tis this gives the cottage n charm and a grace, Which the glare of a palace but rarely has known : t» is this, ontii this, and not station or place, Which gives boingto pleasure,whir,U makes it ourowu. Like the dove on the waters, a rest plaee to find, In vain for enjoyment o’er nations we roam ; Home only can yield real joy to the mind, fe And there where tile heart is, therejonly is Home. MISCELLANEOUS. Fannon’s Marc. The exploits of Fannon, the famous tory partisan of North-Carolina would make a body of facts more interesting than any tale of fic tion. lie was a reckless fellow bloody-minded as the hounds ofllayti. He sometimes slew the helpless and innocent in cold blood—the coward! Buche had that instinctive toneand bearing of authority, that kept his people with in the metes and bounds of his own despotic will. He and his party were one day resting themselves by a spring, lounging here and there on the green grass in the shade of the trees. One of his subordinates, a big, strong man, had got mad with him. His rage had been boiling in him for several days: and some fresh affront at the spring caused his anger to become ungovernable—he drew his sword, and was resting with his elbow on the ground and his hand under his head. His devoted fol lowers were around him, and he heard the click of their locks as they cocked their rifles. ’ “Let him alonej". cried FanilOn in hits quick, • sharp tone. He laid still, calm and ,4plf-poa i~9sed, with Viis- keen, ftXiid 'DU the raging lieutenant, as he made a tremendous plunge at his breast. But when the stroke came, its object swerved away like a snake, and the baffled man plunged liis sword into the ground. Quick as lightning, Fannon’s sharp blade passed through his gigantic form: “Thus and thus I punish those who disregard my authorityand his eyes glowed and sparkled like a serpent’s. The man sunk to the earth forever. But Fannon’s mare is written at the top of this sheet; and she is the hero of the present writing. Achilles had his Xanthus and Ba lus and Podargae; Alexander had his Buce phalus; McDonald had his Selim. Fannon was a man of blood like them, and like them he had his favorite and trusty charger; and Fannon’s mate was worthy of her owner, or “even a better man.” He called her the Red Doe, from her resemblance in colour to a deer. She was a rare animal —fleet, powerful, intel ligent, docile, as a lamb—and her owner valued her, I dare say, above king or country, or the life of his own fellow-man. —She bore bin? proudly and fearlessly in the bloody skirmish or the quick retreat. When he stood in the noisy council of his partisans, or in the silent ambush, the faithful brute was by his side, ever ready to bear him whithersoever he would. But Fannon lost his mare. Down on the east of Little River, the par tisan and some four or five of his followers one day captured a man by the name of Hunter— a whig from the country about Salisbury, N. C. This was sufficient cause of death, and Fannon told the man he should hang him. Hunter was evidently a man of the time; but ■what could he do, alone and defenceless, with a dozen bitter enemies ? It was a case of com plete desperation. The rope was ready and a strong old oak threw out its convenient branches. Fannon told him he might pray, for his time was come. The poor man kneeled down, and seemed absorbed in his last petition to the throne ot mercy. Fannon and his men sood by, and the trusty mare Btood among them, with the reins on her neck. They began to be impatient for their victim to close his de votional exercises. Hut they soon discovered that there was more of earth than heaven in Hunter’s thoughts; for he suddenly sprang on Fannon’s mare, bowed his head down an her powerful neck, pressed his heels on her flanks, and darted away like the wind. The tory rifles were levelled in a moment — “shoot high! shoot high!” cried Fannon— “save my mare?” The slugs all whistled over Hunter’s back, save one that told with uner ring aim, which tore and battered his shoulder dreadfully. He reeled on the saddle and felt nick at his heart; but hope was before him, death behind, and he nerved himself for the race. On ho sped—through woods, and ra vines, and brambles, did that powerful mare carry him safely and swiftly. His enemied ware in hot pursuit. They followed him by the trail of blood from his wounded shoulder. He came to Little River; there was no ford; the bank was high, and a deep place in the stream before him. But tho foe came: he drew the rein, and clapped his heels to her sides, and that gallant mare plunged reckless ly into the streim. She snorted in the spray as she rose, pawed the yielding wave, arched her beautiful mane above the surface, and skimmed along like a wild swan. Hunter turned her down stream, in the hope of eva ding his pursuers; and she reared and dashed through the flashing waters of the shoal, like lightning in tho storm-cloud. But Fannon was on the trail, and rushed down the bank, with all the rough energy that the loss of bis favorite could inspire. Hunter turned the mare to the opposite bank; it was steep—several feet of perpendicular rock— but she planted herself on the shore at a bound; and then away she flew over the interminable forest of pines, straight as an arrow' —that ad mirable mare ! On and on did tho generous brute bear her master’s foeman, till the pursuers were left hopelessly behind. Late in the evening, Hun ter rode into Salisbury, had the slug extracted from his shoulder, and after lingering some time with the effects of his wound and excite ment, finally got well. And that gallant mare, that had done him such good service, he kept and eherished till she died of old age. Challenge toe a Race Aceoss the Atlan tic.—A New York letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, says : “ The extraordinary passage made by the new steamship Ohio, between this city and Charleston, occupying only about sixty hours, and that under the disadvantage of a new en gine and foul bottom, lias induced one of the proprietors of the line, Mr. George Law, to offer a challenge to any steamer in the world to make a trip from this city to Liverpool, for a wager of $50,000 a side. I should not be surprised if the challenge is accepted, and if ao, the excitement will be unprecedented, es pecially if accepted by one of the British steamers,” (From the Journal Jr Messenger.] Minute of Points Decided by the Supreme Court of Georgia, September Term. 1849.

Coast Survey, to the Secretary of tho Trea , sury, on a reconnoissance of Hatteras Inlet, . by Lieut. Com’g. James Alden, U. S. N. As s sistant in the Coast Survey.— Boston Daily e Adv. r Coast Suevey Station, ) North Deerfield, N. H. July 25, 1849. ) Sie —ln consequence of the information re [ ceived from Lieut. Commander Moffitt, and j already reported to you in regard to the im r portance of the inlet opened in 1846, South . of Cape Hatteras, I have had a reconnoisance 1 made of it by Lieut. Com’g. James Alden, U. , S. N., Assistant in the Coast Survey, which confirms the previous statement of the value I of this inlet as a harbor of refuge. The re , port of Lieut. Alden contains the following statements of interest to navigators; . “ This opening bears from Hatteras lights. 70 W. distant about twelve miles. It will be . easily recognised by the remarkable round [ hammock covered with trees on the east side of the entrance. The least depth at low water on the bar is 14 feet. It should be approach ed from the Northward and Eastward, and as the breakers seldom extend entirely across the entrance, it can be readily discovered by the smoothness of water between them, at that point steer NW by W, keeping along the breakers on the starboard hand until well in, then haul more to the Northward, and anchor soon after inside the sand pits, which forms the entrance and which, together wit 4 the bar outside, afford sufficient protection against all winds from that quarter; the boat anchorage, however, for a vessel drawing 10 feet of water, is where the schooner's first position is marked on the chart,and where the current will be felt much less than >U mid - channel:—the cur rents and tides aye influenced very much by the winds: the greatest velocity we found were three knots between tl>e two sand spits: the mean rise and fall was 2.2 feot.” There ape two oponinge, the one to the Westward is email apd has a very narrow and intricate channel, and must bp considered of little or no importance, while so near a much ’ finer and better one.” “ Good pilots can be obtained for Hatteras inlet at any time.” The sketch of Lieutenant Commanding A1 den's reconnoißance hat been reduced for publication, and will be at once placed in the hands of an engraver.

Capt. Thompson ip forms us that the pilot schooner which broke from her anchorage, during the gale at Brazos Santiago, on the night of the 16th ultimo, carrying off a lad of ten years of age, by the name of J oseph Davis —the only person on board—was beached fif teen miles north of Laavaca Pass, on the morn ing of the 19 th ultimo, after being at sea three days and nights. The lad stated to Captain Thompson that he steered north-west during the whole tim" he w: s out, which course he supposed would bring him up somewhere on the coast; and in going in where he ran the vessel ashore, carried away her rudder. The vessel received no other damage. The lad claims salvage on the ve sel. The Crops.—Accounts received from Wash ington county, state that the army worm is committing sad ravages on the cotton crop. Colonel Groce, of Rock Island, Austin county, had lorty acres of cotton run over by the worms in one day. At mu st, the general average will not exceed a two-thirds crop. The Victoria Advocate says the worm has done considerable damage in that section, but the planters, it thinks, will make two thirds of a crop. The small pox is prevalent in San Antonio, and quite a number of deaths have occurred, mostly among the Mexican portion of the po pulation. Two companies of rangers, Captain Grum ble’s and Capt.

The number of gold washers on the principal streams of the Sierra Nevada have multiplied, but there is enough for ah. The waters are nearly at the lowest stage, which is favorable to diggers. At Mormon Island the company is mining scientifically. They employ quick silver in extracting the tnetal from the ground which is previously subjected to the cradle. At the par price and with suitable machinery they average about two hundred dollars per day. In the auriferous sand found in the regions ol Trinity River, the ore is found in great abundance. In three days, the north fork dam and mining association realised $15,- 000. The Peruvians and Chilians are pretty thoroughly routed from the Middle and North Forks, the disposition to expel them altogether is extending through the mining coummuni ty- Advices are favorable from the north and middle works. A party of twenty on the north fork are averaging $45 per day each man. Old minors on the middle fork, are operating with submarine armor, by which means they take out ten thousand dollars per day.

The Royal Mail steamer Canada arrived at j Halifax at a quarter past nine o’clock, yester day morning, and her news reached here to- ; day, by overland express. The Canada made j her passage in less than ten days. The commercial news, upon the whole, ex hibits no special change or movement. The produce market has been fairly sup- • plied, but the demand for most articles was I inactive. The cotton trade had become rather languid, j at fair prices. The money market continued abundantly I supplied, and bills selling at 2& per ct. pre mium. The political news presents no new feature of special moment. There was considerable firmness in bread stuffs, and higher prices had been paid. A moderate business dhingin cured provisions at steady prices. ENGLAND AND IRELAND.

The Legislature From the best judgment we can form, thr : Legislature will be democratic or joint ballot, i Counting those districts and counties heard j ' from, and those not heard from about which ! there ean be no uncertainty, we plaoo the re- , j suit as follows : Srnatk.—Whole number of senators fortv- I seven—24 democrats, 22 whigs. The district | composed of Loundes and Ware doubtful. : This district elected a democrat in 1847. The above gives the district, composed of Appling and Montgomery to the whigs. Al though the whig majority there is usually about 150, the democrats have some hope that their candidate has succeeded. The Lower House.—Whole number of re presentatives, one hundred and thirty. We give the democrats 64. The whigs 63, Ware, Loundes and Telfair doubtful. We believe the democrats will elect two out of these three, which will give them the House by two majority. P. S.—Since the above was in type, we have received intelligence, which will be found un der our telegraphic head, that all the counties but three have been heard from, and that the Legislature will stand as fallows : SENATE.

The Voice of Georgia In the recent election our noble State has declared herself, in trumpet tones, democratic to the core, and has ranged herself in proud c oinpanionsliip side by side with her gallant sister democrats of our great family of confed ated States. All hail, democrats of the Union! the noble State of Georgia, the Key-Stone ot the Southern Arch, has followed the glorious example of Tennessee, and again waves from her highest battlements the honored old flag of Democracy. She has responded to the spirit stirring voice of Old Virginia, the mother of States and of Statesmen, and joyfully extend* the hand of fellowship on either side, to her gallant sisters, South Caiolina and Tennessee. She comes in her vigorous manhood, with her swelling resources and her teeming population of 800,000 souls, to strengthen the democratic phalanx and to uphold those great principles of constitutional construction, of popular rights and of equal laws, which, though often me naced by the whigs, are ever triumphant under the banner of democracy. The debauch of military enthusiasm is over —the intoxicating hurrah for a drum and fife candidate has died away ; and the “second sober thought” of an awakened people has j come with its stern rebuke of false promise* and violated pledges. The banner of Taylor ism trails in the dust, and all the cant and hum bug, and liypocriey about a no-party Presi dent, and anti-proscription President, a Pre sident “who would as soon think of running Jrom a Mexican as of proscribing a man on aecount of his opinions, a President “ that would not be the candidate of any party, or lend himself to promote party sehemes,” are consigned to oblo quy and contempt. Georgia is thoroughly UNTAYLOEIZED. Less than twelve months ago Georgia gave a majority of 2,736 votes for "Old Zack.” Now she responds by a vote even larger in.condemnation of an administration which has so far distinguished itself chiefly by its imbecility, its blunders, and its treachery to the pledges which placed it in power. The* whig candidate for Governor, was vauntingly pronounced by the whigs the most popular man, by all odds, in their ranks, and he was nominated by the Whig Conven tion, by a vote nearly approaching unanimity. The result lias proved that he had to carry dead weight, in the person of the "no party,” “proscription loathing" President. Old Zach was fastened on the back of Judge Ilill, like the old man of the mountain upon the back of Sinbad the sgilox. There was no shaking him off. If the whigs had de fired him shaken off, the democrats would have opposed the effort, and insisted on identifying; tho whig candidate with Taylorism-=its misdeeds and follies. But the whigs did not desire this.— They gloried in the Mentifieation. They even believed that their candidate was assisted in his efforts to reach the Gubernatorial Chair, by clinging on to the skirts of Gen. Taylor. The whig press appealed lustily to the noble whigs of Georgia—the Taylor democrats, to come to the rescue of "Old Zack” —“the old Lou isiana sugar planter,” and of Judge Hill —that voting for one was indorsing the other. They even plaintively tuY-aked the aid oftggfTuK Caluoun UEMotRAfs. But it all would not d*. Whiggory and Taylorism went down together, and bit the dust together in Georgia on the first Monday of October. The verdict of the people, while it spoke the condemnation of Taylorism, and acknowledged that they had been grossly deceived and be trayed, at the same time spoke the voice of ap proval of Governor Towns’s administration.— It declared their satisfaction with the manner in which he discharged the high trusts re posed, iq his hands, and their confidence in his continuing to. do so for the next two years. His majority will be more than double that whi<;h elevated him two years ago to the. Ex ecutive chair. But above all, the people of Georgia have emphatically expressed approbation of Jilye bold ancTjfßtriotic sentiments of Governor Towns on the slavery question. Qq this subject he has shown himself reliable and true. He entertained no opinions ho was unwilling to proclaim. Tho poople have man fully come up to his proposition that the en croachments of the anti-slavery power upon \ Southern rights are to be resisted " at all haz ards and to the last extremity.” Tho Union of tho Now York Democracy' The only dissatisfaction that the union ot the Hunkers and Barnburners has oaused, is j among the whigs and the abolitionists. We i cannot conceive of a higher recommendation j than this. It is in vain that the whig press ; of the North seek to revive hostility and re new strife between these two sections of the democracy of the Empire State. Their jeers and taunts are laughed at hy the democrats, as the impotent ebullitions of rage, disap pointment and alarm, at this formidable re union. It is a death knell, not only to whig gery in New York, but to its hopes of another triumph in a National election. But for that ill-starred quarrel, Lewis Cass, and not Zach ary Taylor, would now be President. Here after, the broad banner of the Old Democracy, will rally all it* legions beneath its broad folds, on which are inscribed the great funda mental principles qf tho party which have so often triumphed in our country, and been so long and gloriously illustrated in the conduct of our national affairs, The slavery question is to be forever discar, ded, as a test question. The democrats of New York have agreed to disagree, each one being allowed to entertain his individual opin ions, without let or hindrance. It is true, that the Union Convention adop- ■ ted a resolution 4e°l*riU| opinions on the 1 | slavery question, unpalatable to the South, I and such as the South will never subscribe to. ! They are objectionable to most of the South- ' ern whigs, and all of the Southern democrats. But it is also true, that it reoognized the fact, 1 that there are Northern democrats who hold ! opinions differing with those declared by the j Convention, and coinciding with those enter tained ac the South. That resolution is as follows : i “That Congress has the constitutional pow -1 or over slavery in the District of Columbia, i and has no power over the subject in the States. That it possesses, in our opinion, full power over the subject in the Territories of the United States, and should exert that pow er on all occasions of attempts to introduce it : there; but as the constitutional power is j questioned, we are willing to tolerate the free exercise of individual opinion upon that ques tion, among members of the democratic fami ly who are willing to rally under one stand* | ard, and support the ticket nominated by the , recent State Conventions.” i No Northern whig or abolitionist differs ! from the opinion here declared. They are all j free soilers, and stand up zealously for the ex clusion of slavery from the new territories.— They make no objec:ion to the doctrine above declared. It is good enough whig doctrine to suit them. But the great feature of this Union of the Hunkers and the Barnburners, is that it recognizes the fact that there akb dem ocrats in the ranks of the New York democra cy, who are with the South on this great con stitutional question. It also declaros that there shall be perfect toleration and freedom of opinion among democrats on this question. It declares that the slavery question shall be no test of orthodoxy in the democratic church, and that those members who are with the South, and have stood by her, and voted with her in opposition to the whole combined phalanx of Northern Whiggery, Abolitionism and Barnburnerism, are not to be disturbed in the full and free exercise of those opinions, or to lose standing or fellowship thereby. This is something tangible, and reliable.— Something which looks like giving Southern rights a foothold, and an advocacy on North ern soil—something which promises to secure the recognition, by the great democratic part) of the Union, of the doctrine of non-interven tion. This will be an almost necessary result ot the spirit of toleration thus manifested. — All the South asks, is that Congress shall hold its hands off from these territories on this del icate subject. She will not be left to struggle alone for this doctrine, and time will show the re-united democracy of New York, that pert) unity, harmony and success, can alone bu se cured by it. 1 But be this as it may, we can point with : pleasure to the fact, that to be with the South - on the slavery question, is expressly tolerated 1 in the ranks of the New York democracy. It is to be no political offence to the party, that a 1 New York democrat is with us, and acts with f us. However he may be denounced and > taunted, and abused by the Northern whigs, t as a doughface and a tool of Southern slavehold f ing tyrants, he will still be held in the bomb '■ of political fellowship and sympathy by his s brother democrats. If a member of Congress * from New York votes with the South, as lit r may heretofore have done, he is not to be os * tracised or lose position theieby. Mutual for r bearance and toleration animate the spirit of 1 this Union. The slavery question is to be let c alone, and forever excluded from their part) 9 discussions. s The whig papers at the North may contend, to their heart’s content, that the free soil 1 democrats have been conquered by the non intervention democrats. The whig papers at r the South may proclaim that the Hunkers s have surrendered to the free soilers. The) I equally aim at political capital, and desire to 8 influence sectional prejudices. But it will not 8 avail them. The democratic party have al ways desired to control this question in the «pirit of compromise. If the whig party and the Abolitionists of the North had not been so bitterly hostile to slavery, as to oppose with a * bitterness as unanimous as it is intense, the ’ extension of the Missouri Compromise line ' and insisted on the Wilmot Proviso, thereby 1 arousing the fiercest sectional prejudices of the Northern people, the democratic party might have united the country in favor of that ex \tension. This result has been steadily, perse veiingly defeated by the Northern whigs, and abolitionists. They have obstinately kept the r country in a constant turmoil and the bittei i waters of sectional strife stirred up from their s utmost depths. If this vexed question is evei > araib.tbly settled between the North and. the South, it will be accomplished the pru i dence and the patriotism of the great demo cratic party of the union. Interfering in Elections In one at General Taylor’s electioneering letters, written during the canvass, he used the following language : “f shall consider any officer under the govern ment interfering in elections to be a fist cause of removal.” Will General Taylor stand up to the pledge here plainly given to the country. The op portunity for him to do so is furnished by the Columbus Times of last Tuesday, in the fol lowing statement. We witnessed a sample of refreshing politi cal consistency, in the election yesterday, which requires a passing notice. The late democratic Post Master of this city, was removed from office, it will be remember ed, for “interfering in elections at least, so the world had a right to infer, because that was one of the deolared grounds for removals generally, and in this instance, we never heard of any specific charges referring to capicity or character. Yesterday the Post Office Department of this City was personally, actively, industri ously in the field, electioneering with might and main. The Post Master, Mr. Lee, and his two principal clerks were “going it” with a rush, not having tho fear of Taylor principles before their eyes, and instigated no doubt by the idea that what was good cause of political death in a looofoco office holder, would be highly commendable in a whig official. Now what U “sauce for ttre goose, is sauce for the gander,” and we call on Mr. Collamer to stiok to his creed and hold his officials to the same rule that he cuts off other people’s heads by ; or oonfesa that his rule is a one-sided one, hy pocritical in its spirit and practice. There are numerous other causes of the same sort, furnished by the papers in States wh*^ e elections are pending or have recently t a k en place. Will the pledge of the -„ o . par t v> pro . scription hating President 0n this po [ lU> bo redeemed ? Hut the elections which have taken place show p’.ainly the estimate in which the peo ple may hold the pledges made only to de- Obive, and which have answered tho only pur pose for which they wore given.

Fuller had pub lished anarticio, derived principally faom Brit ish published authorities, throwing considers - I ble doubt upon tho pretensions of Mr. George Gordon Byron himself, as well as upon the letters and reminiscences of Lord Byron, that he is about to publish in New York. Wheth er or not the gentleman has any just claim to the equivocal honor of boing the illegitimate son of Lord Byron, he is determine!, it sooms, to make himself, conspicuous ; and the agita tion of the matter hy libel su ts, newspaper controversies, etc., will have tho desired effect of making his book sell. A letter has been received from the British f Consul at Masatlan, which states that in six t months ending 30th June, there had been i oonsigued to him (the Consul) $878,788 worth s of gold dust, at $lB the ounte and that du- d ring the same period there had been exported, u in eoin and merchandise for Europe, .$987,M0, p or nearly one million dollars. - - p Reorganization of tho Senatorial and Congressional Districts. When the whig party had the ascendency in the Legislature of 1843, they did not scruple so to gerrymander the State in organizing the Senatorial Districts, as to .secure,, as they thought, for themselves thirty out of the forty seven Senators. As the Counties then stood, judging by the elections just preceding, the districts were made thirty whig, to seventeen f.mocratic. 1 his was not a very magnanimous ’ or very lair division, in a State in which at least one half the voters are democrats. But the whigs had an accidental majority. We were in their power, and they used that pow er without stint or scruple. After theinjustioe was consummated, the hill passed, and sign ed by a whig Governor, the whigs chuckled with delight, and fanoied they had tho demo crats tied hard and fast. In fact, a distinguish ed member of the whig party, now on the gleefully said to a leading democrat, “We have got you down now, and we will keep you there, so that you can’t budge for the next ten years.” Stung at the inj ustice, and tired by the taunts of the exulting whigs, the gallant dem ocrats rallied in their might, to redeem them selves from the thraldom to which they were doomed, and actually rescued the Senate from the whigs at the succeeding election in 1845 „ They carried a majority into that.body. Had they obtained a majority in the lower House they would have undone the gerrymandering work of tho whigs. But owing to the stupi dity, obsinacy, an lsjlfLhness of the leading democrats in some of our strongest democratic counties in running a multiplicity of candi dates, whigs enough were elected from them, to give the latter a majority in the House. Thus wag seen the anomaly of some counties. with democratic majorities of hundreds ot votes, sending whigs to the Legislature. This anomaly, so discreditable to the demo4ud| crats and so indicative of superior wit management of the whigs, is again to be wit- nessed at the approaching session. But there * will be, notwithstanding. In all probability, is majority for the democrats in each enough for all praticul purposes. In this event, we hope that one of t?fc sfisHßr acts of the majority will bu to pass a bill wSfißMfj to do3e the whigs with their own physic. jjgf hope they will re-distriut the State in such a ’■SB way as to give to the democratic party a cer tain ascendency in tho Senate. Wo will not object to a majority of thirteen, the number the whigs aimed t> provide for themselves.. We would, however, be content with less Judging the future by the past, the indomita-. ble democrats might well start with a number and soon catch up to that maj jr ; t y by hard canvassing and fair voting. The democratic party have, the majority in Georgia. Lite late vote for Governor shows it. It is but right and proper that it should have a democratic Legislature to enact its laws. Long may it be before the whig party shall again rule in our Legislative Councils. It has been signally rebuked and silenced by the people. For similar reasons, it is desirable that the next Legislature should reorganize the Con gressional districts. Tho democrats ought to have at least five out of the eight members sent to Congress. By a convenient and equi table re-adj ustuisnt this rosult can be secured- We will not here undertake to show by de tails how this can be done. But we take tho present occasion to say that it would be cap-.. daily gratifying to the whole democratic r a ,._ ty of Georgia if the present orgamaati* , n 0 f the 7th and Bth Congressional Distriv „ wero broken up, and the Hanarable Mes'sr *. Robert Toombs, and A, H. Stephen# eit'<y dr placed in the same district, or plaoe’t in districts with whig majorities, so niod' t ,j. a * a them in wholesome check. As the matter stands they can commit y outrage upon the gener al politic', sep.ttr.mnt ot tho State, and trifle W1, -i the dearer,t rights and interests of her people wit", comparative impunity. With their present tr emeiulous whig majorities,amounting to from t hirteen to seventeen hundred votes, it is a hopelees task for democrats to run candi dates against them. This fact discourages a vigoronj <-mnbattiUis nf their opinions from that quarter, unu it requires a degree of heroism that the whigs have not yet displayed for the latte.- to send independent candidates into the field. The consequence is,that these gentlemen, possessed of talents of a high order, gifted with the. -arts which can please,- and even cajole and ‘Ufmiidate, by turns, hold absolute sway and i mastery over their own party. That they hold opinions and boldly proclaim them, and give vot"s in Congress that a re not sanctioned by many of their own party, is notorious and undeniable. They avow the right of Congress to legislate on the subject of s'avery in the territories. They contend that the laws of Mexico against slavery, are of highe.r obliga tion in the new Territories, than tho .rights of the slaveholder under the Consti{utiton, and that the latter has no right to carry hfs slaves and hold them as such, in those territisries— that said territories are free soil, and there fore forever closed against the slaveholder, until opened by a law of Congress. Yet braid ing this position, Mr. Stephens votod to lay on the table, the only Bill which offered a chance to the slaveholder to enjoy his slave property)' in the new territories. He voted against the Clayton Compromise Bill, well knowing that a more favorable Bill for the South, could nott and would not be enacted —that in doiug no he immensely inoreased the cliancos of tk a application of the Wihnot Proviso to t'np se territories—and thus played directly into tho hands of the whole tribe of Wilm.ot Pro vigoists and abolitionists who are su. bitter ly opposed to the South. Mr. Tr.ombs ap proves the course of Mr. Stephens, a upends it before the people, and avows c qual hostility to that Bill. He announced ] XQ too, would have voted against the 'ailt, ft** ; t m up en its merits for final passage, These two gentlemon rated >3t tiM . ap , propriation of money ky ' oongre9B , o arry, into o ect the treaty w ltb M ex i CO| i rt company with six of the rabid abolitionists tii dße eight being the only oppo- nents of *„' ue Bill. They also, in company with eight rabid olitionists, their sole companions, voted re'.rocede to Mexico, tho territories from her, us indemnity,' reserving only tho B of San Francisco, and a little territory. A. In reference to the Clayton Compromise Bill, it is remarkable that tho only Southern men who voted to lay it on the tablo, repre sented Congressional Districts having over whelming whig majorities. They would not have darod so to vote, had their majorities boon of a reasonable and moderate number, so that they could have felt under a wholesome re straint. But they were audacious in theii strength at home, and felt emboldened to de - fy the public sentiment of their respective* States, trusting to the force of party disciplines to sustain them. They felt that their major ities were so large that they could be re-elpct ed, though hundreds of their constituents, eve of their own party, might be outraged, and feel’ * resontful. These gentlemen may have othci constituents, in prospective, besides those in two districts in Georgia. More glittering prizes than a seat in Congress, dazzle their vision. They may aim to have constituents co-extcnsively with the whig party of the Union. They may aim to figure as Cabinet Ministers, or in Foreign Embassies, or perhaps to preside over one or the other branch of the National Legislature. Hence they may be as solieitous to please the free soil constituents ot Collamer in Vermont, and of Ewing in Ohio—of Seward in New York, and of Tru man Smith in Connecticut, as to please the whigs of Georgia. We hope that the approaching democrats Legislature of Georgia, w ; ll give them strong er inducement to consult popular opinion and feeling in Georgia, by so organizing their dis tricts as to make thorn feel that they have no votes to spare—that they cannot experiment with impunity, upon the strength of pa*t disoipline, or put themselves in a ppkft utterly beyond the reach of the party.
