AND MF.SSF.NOr.R 1 MILLEDGF.VILLE, Sept. 4, 1847. Gentlemen: Do the people of <I *or*jria approve of the policy and conduct of Gov. Crawford’s administration ? i Th<* unanimous voice of Whigs and Democrats ein- j phnncally answers yes. This admitted, it must follow i limit is the desire of all who are not mere pnrtizans— ■ fit a ! who are unwilling to re embark upon the danger- ! ou sea of experiment—of all, in brief, who would not ‘ return to the ruinous policy of Gov. Crawford’s imme diate predecessor— to continue or perpetuate tie* policy they approve. Then the legitimate question arising is, which of the candidates for Governor now before the people will be the most likely to adopt those wholesome rules of strict economy and rigid accountability, which have rendered the administration of Gov. Crawford so useful to the State and so satisfactory to those who have to support the burdens of government—the tax-payers of Georgia. I will not undertake to foreshadow the policy of Col. Towns if he should he elected Governor. The people will judge intelligently ol the probabilities in this re *7*c*, from the evidence before them. Col. Towns sup ported the administration and policy of Gov. Me Don- I a^'— he voted for the charter of every shinplaster hank, for which he had an opportunity of voting when a mem os the Georgia Legislature—and, from his general pliant and facile” character, the people can have little to hope for in his election. It Gen. Clinch should Is* elected, believing as he does, that Go*. Crawford's management of the various interests of Georgia has been wise, practical and saluta ry, it will be liis pride and aim to “follow in the foot steps of his illustrious predecessor”— to steer the v*ssel ° lale ky the same landmarks—and to moor her at the end of the voyage in the same harbor of safety Thin in all the people wish ; nil Whigs and Democrats *re alike interested in its accomplishment. Moreover, the election of Col. Towns will involve £♦* removal of the present able and efficient Principal , * per ol the Penitentiary. With the experience ol <>l Redding, suporadded to unsurpassed abilities for '* station, 1 hazard nothing in declaring that his loss to the State would be Irreparable. To place the value of his services in a true and poper light, it will be necessary to draw u brief but clear coni pHnson between the management of Col.

CASH COUNTY, On. August 28, 1847. Gentlemen: The question of removing the seat of Government, is more or less agitated, in all this re gion of the State. I find it discussed in all the circles into which I enter. In the event of a mm oval, two places are spoken of, in connexion with its location, Atlanta and Macon. The latter place, from its cen tral position, and the superior advantages it holds out, ns the metropolis of our great and growing State, stands decidedly the best chance to receive the boon and the honor. A grent boon it will he to the place that shall have the good fortune to be selected, ns the permanent seat of Government of our State. As I am decidedly in favor of Macon, ns the most el ii'ib 1 and desirable location of the seat of Government, I will hastily offer to your citizens, some few of the ad vantages they will reap thereby, that they may be alive to the importance of the subject. In the first place, it will greatly add to the importance ami influence of Macon. Secondly, it will very materially increase your pop ulation. This increase of population, will enhance your real estate and create nn amount of improvement* that will benefit your mechanics, artizans, mill owners and indeed every class of your citizens. ‘1 hirdly, it will hi* the means of drawing to your city anew trade, that otherwise it will not get. Fourthly, It will be the means of distributing among your citizens, a large sum of money annually, in the disbursements and expenses of th** State. For a few years back, this amount has been much reduced, hut is still and must ever continue to be considerable. To pay ofTthe Legislature alone, amounts to over $50,000, and then there will be created nn additional demand for provisions, poultry, fin -wood, &c. &c. and thus the whole of your county, as well as your city, will be ben* fitted. Fifthly, It will create a strong additional inducement with the people of South-western Georgia to build the South-western Railroad : a poject that must be re garded, not only of vast importance to Macon, but es sentially n great State w'ork. Other advantages might be suggested, but must present themselves readily to the consideration of your people. Let Macon be up and doing. Send to the Legislature your strongest men.— The Penitentiary should come to this section of the State—there are all powerful reasons for it, that were addressed to the people a few years ago, in n masterly manner, through the Federal Union. In conclusion I will any, the seat of Government is certain to be re moved at no distant day, and Macon is the only prop er location for it. Surely no Legislature will ever be so inconsiderate of the comfort and rights of South-west ern, Eastern and Middle Georgia, as to locate it at Atlanta, one hundred miles from the centre of the State A FRIEND TO MACON. COMMUNICATED. H ho is Oiinran li. Clinch? As the Editor of the Federal Union, who asks this question, was a school-boy in New Jersey about the time that some of the most interesting incidents in Gen. Clinch’s life were transpiring in Georgia, it is more than probable that he is ignorant of them—otherwise he would not have ventured to deride the strong claims of the General to the suffrages of the people whom he has served so long ; and as many other new comers have settled among us of late years, who would really be glad to receive information on this subject, a friend of the weather-beaten soldier takes it up, and proposes, briefly to answer the question. Duncan L. Clinch was horn about sixty years ago, of pious Methodist parents, in the good old State of : North Carolina. And although he has never connect i ed himself with any church, his whole life has testified to the strength of his early Christian principles, and j given the most substantial evidences of his pious vener i ation for the general church, as well as the church of | his fathers. In very early life he entered the army, and, as the re -1 suit of his high qualifications for command, he was rap idly advanced in rank. It was the good fortune of the writer, a few weeks since, to witness an interview be tween the General and an old soldier of his command in 1807. All who were present at the time, will carry with them to their graven the impression, that (whatev er may be said of him now, by party hacks, and youths who were in swaddling-clothes when their fathers and mothers were protected from the tomahawk and scalp ing-knife by his powerful arm, yet, nevertheless,) this same Duncan L. Clinch must have been something of a hero forty years ago ! In the war of 1812, he so far distinguished himself hy a succession of brilliant feats, that he came out, at the close of the war. a Lieutenant Colonel of the same regiment in which Zachary Tay lor was a Captain. Peace having been restored with England, he was assigned the command of the forces on the Georgia frontier. The Creeks and Seminoles were very trouble some about this |>eriod, and continued so for several years—when finding that he could not effectually check their depredations from Fort Hawkins, where he was then stationed, he advanced into the heart of the Na- I tion and took a better position on the Chattahoochee | River, where lie built Fort Gaines. I About this time we begin to find some traces of him, i which look very much like he was both a citizen and a | soldier in those days—whatever boy 6 and adventurers ! may affect to tfiink of him in these. In an old file of the Georgia Journal, published as far back as 181f, by Messrs. S. Sl F. Granti.and, (two of as pure and honest patriots as ever drew the breath of life,) I find a record of the follow ing facts: The number of the Journal, issued May 15, 1816, contains an “ important” letter, received the day before by Gov. Mitchell, per express from Col. Hawkins, the Indian Agent, dated at the “ Creek Agency, 10th May, 1816,” and embodying the substance of two letters re ceived from Lieut Col. Clinch, who waa “incommand at Fort Gaines, on the Chat-to-ho-che, about sixty-five miles below Fort Mitchell.” These letters conveyed an account of certain hostile demonstrations of the Indi ans—such as their capturing “ two soldiers near the Fort, and 30 head of cattle’’—their “ drinking their war physic, and dancing for several days 1 ” and “ the prejwi ration of all the towns who wished to remain friendly, to remove above the line.” The last letter of Colonel Clinch, referred to in this despatch, closet as fallows :— “ That the Seminoles and Lower Creeks are determin ed on a war, I have not the smallest doubt. I feel DC?* it to be my duty to communicate to you, and fry* through you to my FELLOW CITIZENS (this i'Jf waa thirty-one years ago!) on the frontiers of KT” Georgia, the rumors that are in circulation, as a little vigilance on their part, may SAVE THE iXT’ LIVES OF MANY HELPLESS WOMEN car AND CHILDREN”! This looks very much like Col. Clinch was a man of some consequence iu those days, and withal a brave and magnanimous soldier. Let every patriotic citizen with in the limits of the State, here mark his vigilance in sounding the first note of warning to his “ FELLOW CITIZENS in Georgia.'’ The humane and chival rous may also find ample scope far admiration, in his anxiety for the safety of “ helpless women and chil dren ” Those old families who resided near the fron tiers in those troublous times, and still survive, can ap ! predate his motives, and readily understand the causes j for excitement and alarm. Others, who have since | come among us, cannot so fully enter into these things. They should learn the nature of those Indian atrocities practised on our frontier inhabitants, from some of the old Bottlers, or if |*osible, draw u|Mn fancy for the hr 1 rid picture. Turning again to the record, I find in the Journal of May 83d, 1816, the following Editorial: WP M We have learned from private sources, since our Inst, that 600 Seminoles were embodied ten miles below Fort Games, who hud mode to Col. Clinch, through the friendly Indians, proposals far re-establish ing peace, but the commander of ouMroops was sus picious of treachery, and on his guard.” Pursuing tie* subject, the same |o|>er, on the 19th June,lßl6, udds— try “ The Creek Indians nr again, far the moment, tranquil The chiefs are represented to lie pacific, but dissatisfied with the cession of their territory The hos tility of the great body of the Nation ran only Is* te •trained by the pretence id* a respectable military force, (tlint was Gen. Clinch,) ready to chustise immediately every aggression they commit.” Here, it seems, the eyes of the country turned to Gen. Clinch, With his hnndtul of nu n, for protection against the whole force of (lie Creek and Heminole Indians He must have been a good man-a brave and skilful soldier. We now coma to the uec nmi of his DESTRUCTION OF A FORT IN FLORIDA Every hotly lias beard of tlus exploit of Gen. Clinch, and buts w know any thing and the pnrtieulars We are now able to present them with a completr history of that affair It appear* that a sort of land-pimic, tiamod Nicolls, who commanded motley foree of British, Indians and Negroes, during the war with England, and was either ••ommissioned or patronueJbv that Government, erect rd a I’orf cn Bnv, in East Florida, near the mouth of the Chattahoochee river, which, after flic war, he left in possession of the Indians and Negroes. In this Fort n number of runaway slaves from Geor gia, (some from Milledgevilc,) and others from Tennes see and the Mississippi Territory, found a refuge.— Ihese.with a party of disorderly Choctaws and the hostile Seminoles, cut off all communication with New Orleans by the river, from the posts above, and frequent ly sallied forth, to the grent disturbance and injury of the white settlers. When pursued, they alwnys found “safe protection in this Fort—until, at length, it became so obnoxious, tlint the public voice demanded its de struction. The Editors of the Georgia Journal, in the number of that paper for the 26th June, 1816, in an elo quent article, urged the necessity of its destruction by our troops, and called on the Government to order them to the work without delay—taking the ground, that al though it was within the. territorial limits of Spain, yet, ns the Spanish authorities thought proper to tolerate its depredations upon us, and probably connived at them, they could have no right to complain if we took redress into our own hands. Simultaneously with the appearance of this article in the Journal, Col. Clinch was engaged in building ‘‘flats with his men at Fort Gains, for the purpose of de scending the river against this obnoxious Fort, and of this the Editors were doubtless apprised, as their article seems evidently designed to prepare the public for what was soon to fallow. In the latter part of July following, the celebrated Chief Mclntosh with a party of warriors was despatched against the Fort by land, ami Colonel Clinch proceeded with a detachment of his own force down the river on lii.s flats. How* the expedition ter minated, let the record of the times tell. From the *’ Georgia Journal, August 14, 1816. NEWS! £ “It will he seen by the following letter from C 01. Clinch to the Executive of the State, that the Fort on Apalnrlißcnln Bay, in East Florida, where the ruf fian Nirolls commanded a mongrel force of British, In dians and Negroes, during the late war, and which has since been occupied by runaway negroes and hostile Indians, was completely destroyed by our troops on the 29th ultimo. Mr. James Hughes, the bearer of Col. ( LiNcn s letter to Gov. Mitchell, and who accompa nied the detachment of our troops on the expedition, states that the celebrated chief Mclntosh with a con siderable number of Indians had reached the Fort and commenced the attack upon it, (which had continued for several days) before the arrival of Col. Clinch’s de tachment. The fire was returned with great spirit hy those in the Fort, but no injury sustained on either side. While Col. Clinch was erecting a battery to play on the I* ort, three of the Gun-boats from New Orleans ar rived below it. In ascending the Bay, seven men, who had landed from one of those boats, were attacked hy the negroes and six of them killed ; the seventh made his escape hy swimming. Col. Clinch having ordered up the Gun-boats, im mediately opened on the Fort with heavy ordnance.— Alter the proper elevation of the gun had been ascer tained by three or four discharges, a hot shot was fired, which penetrating one of the three magazine#, contain ing 100 barrels of powder created a dreadful explosion, w hich our informant thinks must have killed an hun dred / Th** others were taken prisoners without fur ther resistance.” “ Copy of a letter from Lieut. Duncan L. Clinch to his Excellency Gov. Mitchell, dated Camp Crawford, 4th August 1816 Sir. —l hate the honor to in form you, that on the 28/4 ultimo, the Fort on the Apalachacola in East Florida , defended by one hundred Negroes and Choc taws, containing about two hundred women and chil dren, was completely destroyed. / hate the honor to enclose you the names of the negroes taken, and at present in confinement at this post, who say they be long to citizens of Georgia. I have given the Chiefs directions, to have every negro that comes into the Nation hereafter, taken and delivered up to the commanding officer at this place, or at Fort Gaines .” Very lie sped fully. Your obd't. serv't. DUNCAN L. CLINCH, Lieut. Col. ConuJng Ihs Excellency D. B. Mitchell, Governor b>c. A gentleman who accompanied this expedition in person, assures the writer they had no knowledge of the force engaged in the defence of the Fort. They sup posed however, it could not be very* strong, as Col. Clinch was induced to march against it at this time, in consequence of private information from spies, that the Seminole warriors, then openly hostile, had gone on a visit to Pensacola, where a large body of Spanish troops had lately arrived. When the Fort was blown up, Col. Clinch rushed into the ruins and ascended the highest point he could find, in order that the friendly Indians might recognize him and desist from the work of pillage and slaughter. One of his men discovered that he was standing on a Magazine, towards which the fire was rapidly communicating, and called his attention to the fact just in time for the Colonels escape and for the safety of the Magazine. They found in the Fort, an immense quantity of British arms and munitions of war, including several pieces ofheavy calibre. Camp Crawford, whence Col. Clinch dated his de spatch, was situated on Flint River, a few miles above the junction. This, he considered a more advanta geous post than Fort Gaines, on account of its proximi | ty to the line dividing between the Creeks and Seminoles, both of whom, and especially the latter, w*ere now very II troublesome. He therefore threw up a fortification be fore leaving, and called it Fort Crawford, in honor of j William H. Crawford, of Georgia, but was after | wards directed by Gen. Gaines to change the name to j Fort Scott, by which it has ever since been known. Having thus quieted the Indiana and demolished their stronghold, he was ordered by Gen. Jackson to with j draw from th** Nation against his own advice, and re j tired to Fort Ilnwkins. The death of Col. llawkms, j the Indian Agent, occurring about this time, a depu i tation of Chiefs headed by Mclntosh, repaired to \ Washington City, and urged the appointment of Col ; Clinch in his place. It was finally conferred on Gov. Mitchell. The quiet of the Indians was of short duration. As Col. Clinch predicted when the troops were with drawn, the Lower Creeks and Seminoles soon renew ed their hostilities, & thus commenced the second Semi nole war. During the whole of this war, Col. Clinch waa actively engag'd with Gen. Jackson, as he had ! been during the first, und with him, penetrated into i heir fastnesses and finally crushed and subdued the spi rit of the Indians. In this war, he greatly distinguish ed hiuiself, nnd soon after its dose, as a reward for his zeal and courage, he was created a Brigadier General. j The general repose which for a long time succeeded the suppression of Indian hostilities in 1818, afforded no farther opportunity for distinction to the Army, until the Seminoles in 1835, suddenly sized the tomahawk and scalping knife, and startled the country with the ominous war-whoop. Fortunately General Clinch was commanding in Florida at the time. With a small farce of citizens and a Kami fill of regulars, he repaired at once to the scene of action. A late writer, who seams familiar with the facts, thus refers to THE BATTLE OF WITHLACOOCHIE. “ It is well known tlwt this was the best fought ol any I during that prot rnr tod and unfortunate contest Tin-: Beminofaa emboldened by success, were dcssoln ting the I Territory with blood and tiff! Gen. Clinch was th** 1 first to check their audacity He rnet them on the | l*anksof the Withlacoorhie, and hy u display of hen>- j ism seldom equalled, turned the tide of war He cross ■ ed tlie river in the face of n murderous tire from tin* cn- I | emy, and before his terrible energy, they broke and | tied into the everglades, like chafi before the whirlwind ‘ ! leaving him victoriouson flic field, but with heavy loss ‘ of men,—himself unscarred, although lus clothes were j J pierced and cut to pieces with thnr bullets!” This statement though animated, is literally true.— Gen Clinch was shot through the cap, and in several j places through his eont It was n great importune to | the eomitry, dial he was not in sufficient force it* follow I up hi* victory Annoyed ami restrained by captious orders from the Secretary of War, (as Gen Tayi/>i ha* lately been in Mexico) he afterwards quarrelled with tlie Depart ment, and was compelled, from self respect, to resign his oominisaion. t In reply to his resignation, be 1 xF received no answer for several months, —wInM), In t f” In* surprise, a despatch reached him at his seat t,fF in Ctsmdsn county, from the war or pick, ki £gT TURNING III* COMMI.’ttiION, AND URGING HIM IN OKIIAI.r OK | , |UWIII.NT JjM-KJtON, AND IN THUS O, i*T Tilt IIIUHHT COMrtJMKIIT, TO TAKE THE ENTIRE tC OONTROL n, TUI WAR 1 3 TIIW of count, ||C (Jeoliued, purely nut ol wuiuii fee CJ*.

All these things are fresh in the memory of the people, and the hireling scribblers of a party press mnyexhaus t themselves in efforts to stigmatize him, os an ‘ imported candidate’’—a “swelled head”—a “onts-paw”—nay, they inny even go so far, as to try to make it appear that he is nu patriot, and a very indifferent hern alter all, but the people of Georgia will put tlie seal of reprobation on all such efforts, and in a itecoming manner, repel the base slanders that have been heaped upon him. I have thus given i brief sketch of General Clinch's history, which iscrowded with thrilling incidents, f have used hut few ofthem, and these merely to enliven this narrative. In regard to his personal qualifications, his friends frankly concede, thi.t “he is no futet/er,and can't speak .” Having a a natural imjirdimr at in hit, uttrranrr, it was itnjinsaihle tlint he could ever become an orator (and who that has a defective utterance ran?)—but he has much higher qiialifica'ions—gifted with a clear head— a strong and ready hind—great decision and firmness ol character, he is prt-emincntly qualified to govern in the midst of a crisis. Ot his manners and Appearance, an intelligent Eu ropean, himself a gentleman, lately remarked in tlie presence of the writer of this article, that “he eonsider j *he Genera! one of the finest specimens of the old time gentleman, he had ever met.” The question so significantly asked—Who is Duncan L. Clinch? is now answered. A brave old warrior, bont of the best Whig blood ol the revolution, he is still a Whig. People of Georgia! Shall he not be yonr next Gov emor ■ A GEORGIAN. Notr —Gen. C. has a son who is one of those “ vile Mexican Whig*” so bitterly denounced by the Wash ington Union. A sly young dog, he lately slipped offwith a commission in his pocket, to give more “aid and comfort” to Santa Anna, ft is hoped Mr. Polk will not have him hung for treason. COMMUNICATED. The Position of a True Soldier. Meter* Editore :—l do not know when in an elec tion, for years, 1 have breathed so freely, and felt so buoyant with hope for my country. 1 have a chance to vote for a candidate for Governor and for President, who both belonged to the same regiment, and fought side by side together for their country. Gen. Clinch was the senior officer of Gen. Taylor in the same regi ment who crowned themselves with glory during the late war with Great Ilritain, and who have more recent ly crowned themselves with tlie affections and gratitude of their countrymen. Clinch and Taylor are names, which at their very mention fill the heart with joy nnd gratitude. Both have nobly served their country—and both will he hon ored by tiiat country, i have seen them both in the wilds of Florida,and whenever I hear their names, the sound awakens the recollection of those emotions which spring from an acquaintance with their deeds of noble and disinterested generosity and friendship, ft may be a weakness in man—the callous and hard-hearted poli tician may sneer at it ami call it childish—but for my life, 1 cannot help loving and reverencing tlie man who, when I have been far from wife, from children and from friends—in an enemy’s country, half starved, half sick, lonely and sad—when I was where tlie whole world has seemed to care nothing for me, (and where was there ever a soldier who ever felt differently?)— has come to me and treated me with all the affection and kindness of a brother, f tell, you, Mr. Editor, you may think us little of all this ns you please, but tlie soldicr'B friend is never forgot by the soldier. Whoever has tried a soldier’s life, knows something of toil and pain—and when he has found a friend to sooth both, memory may fade, disease may prostrate him, life may be a curee—but let him tum hack to the scene of his sorrows and his griefs—let him but remember his kind hearted old General, who has stood hy him in six troubles, and would not leave him in the seventh let him lliink of his friend in time of trouble, and earth knows no pleasure half so great, as that which is awak ened by the reflection, that he note can reward that dis interested friendship. Now, sirs, that is just my condition. Here are two old friends-in-nced—one 1 can vote for for President,and the other for Governor. Friends at home may scowl and frown—but let life and health last, and 1 shall vote for Duncan L. Clinch for Governor, and Zachary Tay lor for President. ONE WHO WAS WITH THEM IN THE WARS. COMMUNICATED. Gentlemen . It is admitted that Col. Towns, upon the stump, openly advocated the course of President Polk, in the commencement and conduct of the Mexi can war, and all his administrative acts connectedfwnh it. Let us now see wltut doctrines Col. Towns has be come the advocate of. 1 lie advocates the President’s declaring war, when the Constitution conferred that power expressly upon Congress, and this war gotten up by the President against Mexico in the time of the session of Congress, without consulting or advising with Congress upon tlie subject. 2 He advocates and supports tlie President in going to war with Mexico without the knowledge of Con gress, and at the same time taking the advice of the United States’Senate before he would hazard a war with England. How consistent!! if. lie justifies Mr. Polk snd accords in opinion with him, that our title to all of Oregon up to fit-40, was “clear and unquestionable,” and yet applauds the Pres ident for accepting as low a parallel as forty-nine 4. He approves Mr. Polk’s giving Santa Anna a pas-port and instructing Commodore Conner to let him pass our blockading squadron, to take command of our enemies, to kill our people nnd protract tlie war 5. Col. Towns approves of Mr Polk’s policy to put a partizan civilian over Generals Taylor and Scott thereby saying tiiat Taylor and Scott were inferior as military commanders to Lieut. Gen Benton. 6. Col. Towns advocates the appointment by tlie j President of such men to- Generals Pillow and Price, who are unskilled in military science and tactics over such skilful commanders as Generals Worth and Wool. T Col. Towns advocates the dismemberment of Mexico, nnnexation of New Mexico and die Califor nian to the United States, even without the oeeurance that Southern men. Slaveholder* will he allowed the privilege of going there and carrying with them their elave puipertg. 8 Col. Towns approves of the President’s course in prohibiting General Taylor ftom publishing letters com piainuig that the President and Secretary at War have not supplied him with men and transports sufficient to carry on an efficient and effective war into tlie heart of the enemy’s country, and hence justifies the President in withholding from Cougress and tlie public eye, let ten of General Taylor to the Wur Department, com plaining of bad treatment 9 Col. Towns justifies tile President (notwithstand ing tlie President rendered essential “aid end comfort” to the enemy, in giving Gen. Santa Anna free passage into Mexico to command our enemies) in accusuig all who differ with the President upon the propriety of the war, of being tranora to then Country, when he knows, Mclntosh, Ringgold, McKee, Clay, Brown, and hun dreds of other good nnd true Whig-, have periled their lives, and freely poured out upon the Mexican soil dieir patriotic blood—and many of them rendered up their lives us willing sacrifioe to tlsur country's tail Gentlemen, where arc now those brave, patriotic, indomitable Democratic hearts, w lioee tiu.itoe of “Tex as, Oregon, Polk At Dallas were unfurled to the political ami excited breeze m latt ? J n *k where are they ? Texas has been annexed, which caused the war with Mexico. Half oflhntdeor “Oregon” has been given to Great Britain by Uteir Polk A.

Was ever impudence I like Utis? Did ever any set of partizan leaders pre ’ some an much upon the ignorance of the people as I these braying demagogues. It is hoped the eyes of the good people of Georgia have seen tlie ears of the ani mal, nii Kalled Democracy, though his body may be onc-jb'd m the Lion's (Am LOWNDLK COMMUNICATED. Gentlemen .- Much has been suit! in the Democratic presses in attempting to disparage Gen. Clinch in pub- I lie estimation, wliilc Col. Towns is held up as a man ) of extraordinary powers of mind, paramount legal at tainments, and self-sacrificing patriotism. Permit one who is intimately acquainted with Col Towns, as a man, a lawyer, anil politician, to give a concise, truth ful account of the Colonel, in the several characters a bove indicated. Asa man, I take great pleasure in bearing tny humble testimony to the many excellent qualities of Col. Towns. He is bland, kind hearted humorous and gentlemanly—an excellent companion, seldom if ewer sp along evil of any one. Asa lawyer, Col. Towns is not conspicuous—he is rather ingenious as an advocate, especially before a Petit Jury —is always courteous to the Court and op posing counsel. In the discussion of legal questions before the court he cannot sustain himself respectably fora lawyer of his age and experience. He has not at tained in the legal science hardly to respectable medi ocrity. This is the result, no doubt, of a want of ap - plication to legal boolis. For the truth of the above statement, every member of the South-western and most of the members of the Chattahoochee bar, apart from party prejudice, would now attest. Asa politi cian, Col Towns’character is not what I admire in an opponent. He is afrnid of responsibility —likes to dodge votes upon questions, the popularity of which he is not well assured of. Witness his absences in the House of Representatives upon the votes upon the resolutions passed by the House censuring the capitu lation of Monterey, the Oregon Territorial Bill, Ac &.c. Asa politician, Col. Towns is artful, cralty and selfish—haß been known to declaim from the stump in favor of a candidate lor office, whom he did frequently and openly denounce contemporaneously, (to the oppo nents ol that man) as a bad, a dangerous man—yet he supported this hod this dangerous man, for a distin guished office merely beenuse he was called a Demo- j erat Will he not again confer office upon Imd men! I TALBOT COMMUNICATED. The pilgrimage of Col. Towns, the Democratic can didate fur Governor, and Mr. Johnson, the wonld-bc candidate, through the Cherokee country, making stump speeches, is a qeeer contrivance. Col. Towns has violated all propriety in his course, hut he felt justi fied in what he has done by the conviction, that his case was desperate, and nothing could make it worse. The Cherokee country has a great many Tennessee people in it, and from Mr Towns’ course in the last Congress, opposing every tiling Mr. Folk did, he was afraid they would not vote for him. To persuade them to do so, he concluded to make them stump speeches, and in them to praise Mr. Polk to the skies—praise his war and every thing lie had done. Now the journals show, that Mr. Towns either voted against or dodged, nearly every prominent measure of the Administration, and he was looked upon at Washington city, last session, as one of those who were about to come out against Mr. Folk. One thing is certain, he voted oflener with the Whigs, and against the Administration, than for it. And the reason which has been assigned for his nom ination for the office of Governor, was to hold him on to the party. And there is no doubt that such is the cose. Here, then is the candidate of a great party* neither having confidence in them, nor they in him ! Now what can any man promise himself by voting for such a man? But to gain Ins election, he is willing to throw dust in any man's eyes. Mr Johnson has gone to Cherokee to take iiis spite out of Towns. The reason why he was not nomi nated was, as he had publicly said, because he was a temperance man, and has signed the “ Flournoy pe tition,” asking the Legislature to prohibit the retail of spirituous liquors. He is deeply mortified at tins, and iniends to have revenge. If temperance has beat him, he has determined it shall beat bis rival—and therefore he keeps company with Col. Towns, and makes speech es for him, so that he may be pointed at as his friend— and if he (Johnson) is obnoxious on the score of being a “petition man,” the world can only look at Towns and say, “birds of a feather will flock together.” How much credit Mr. Johnson will get for such a course, I do not pretend to say, but certainly as much as he got for pretending to support Mr McAllister two years ago, when he was paid one hundred dollars a week for writing for the Federal Union. S. [COMMUNICATED ] .Something to be Remembered. When Governor Crawford was elected iour years ago, the expenditures of the Treasury exceeded the in come largely, so that a balance of £24,000 was due to creditors for the previous year’s demand, and nothing to pay with. This Gov. McDonald stated in his last message, in 1843. We have had the same tax act j which the Democrats had—and no other, and yet the - Whigs have managed the government so well and w ith sucheconoiny, that the expenditures have been made less than the income—the 824,000 of arrearages set tled, and four hundred and forty-seven thousand one hundred and nine dollars of the public debt to Reid, Imng A. Cos. paid off! ( The next Legislature might reduce tlie taxes 25 per cent, were it not lor the Central Bank. When the Democrats had control of it, they managed it so badly, as to leave it a quarter of a nullum of dollars short The difliculty was relieved for a time, by redeeming I the bills with bonds ! now the bonds have to be paid, and the taxes cannot be reduced— especially if the Dem ocrats arc restored to power Give tlie Democrats the Governor again, and in two years we shall go back to where we were before, with more expenditures than income. If my vote can pre vent it, we shall not get into the same scrape again— and tliere are a heap of the “same sort” who agree with me A PLAIN DEMOCRAT COMMERCIAL. Macon < ottou Market.
