' iioSFiKvs OF THE WEEKLY OEOtt
QIAN.
Tbatamutusl dcpendenre exist*between the upper
Mil lower portions of Georgia, between ih* HiisMLnf
lit# mountains ami of the mantlet bordering on the
distant ClisttsliAx-lirr. and him whose lot It east in the
* principal Seaport of the Stile, Where the rich products
of Geotpia seek an outlet to theorem, no patriotic
citizen of the youngest of the old tklrut* ran. for a n»o
menu doubt. Our people, spread orer an extent of
ctuntry. in which thrre exist* every varictv of anil and
elimate, have a community of interest which, if prnprr-
ly regarded, and made to centre upon the welfare of
the mass, will advance them in iciencr, stealth anil
aoelal prosperity.
Our people are not only Agriculturists, and mor-
chants, but many are divetiinc their attention to manu
facture*. We thus witness agriculture, commerce, and
manufactures proceeding, hand in hand, to make us a
community great nnrf happy.
That Georgia is rapidly reaching that commercial
grandeur and Independence which her l«vifl position,
as the k* y atone of the long arch of the maritime states
[ of our Union, aided by enlightened legislation, must
\are long confer upon her, no citizen wit'i the prophetic
tyeofastnteamnn ran he unconscious of.
It will be our atodv through the co'umns of the
Qeorgtan not only to spread before the reader the larest
foreign and domestic intelligence, not only to inform
him onhntinnal and state politics, but to convince him
(hat llie first duty of the citiren, concurrent with the
welfare of his immediate family, istocultivate an *Md-
ng attachment to the institutions of Ids native State and
tnenurngo thnt spirit. which will eventually make Geor-
gia assume thnt rank as an Independent state of thin
confederacy, which her noble advantages. Ifdevclnped
by the patriotism and enterprise of her sons, cannot fail
to secure to her.
Aa auxiliary to rho general prosperity of our belov
ed 8tatowe would cherish a reciprocal feeling be
tween the citizens of every section of our State, and
aeek by facta to convince every native and adopted
eon nf Georgia, that no Slate in tho Union contain*
more elements of social happiness,—none a more fa
vorable position to be Independent, a* she should, of
those who seek (and inU-ame measure with success) of
miking her tributary to their prosperity.
To effect title, tho Georgian will refer, on proper oc
casions, toher own Savannah, the ancient city of • v
State, and Invite the notice of the citizen of the interior
to her improvement, which from her commanding aim-
atjon, has boon gradually onward, and in recent years
astonishing. Exporting from her wharves near sixteen
million$ in a’olue of tho staples of the State, she is yef
but liule known to a large portion of the AcricuUurista
of Georgia; and the merchants of the interior, in many
instatices, pass her to swell the profit* of the Northern
capitalist, and thus compel tho purchaser within our
limits to pay twenty per cent to our Northern brethren
for those manufactures which could be furnished by our
own citizens. Shall Georgians submit longer to this
onerous tax upon their industry? Tho patriotic re
sponse will be an emphatic—No!
One million, two hundred thontnnd dollar/,are thus paid
at a lax by tlie consumers of Georgia, and not one year
only, but every year. It require* little reflection to
S mceive how our pockuts have contributed to amass
to wealth'of the money kings of tho North, how their
eitie* have become splendid, and their public works
magnificent.
New York, tho great city of a great Stato, expor
but /our million* more than Savannah, while her im
portation* exceed those of Savannah nearly 8108.0U0,-
000. The profits on these vast importations, beyond
the consumption of Now York, would accrue to the con-
turners of thu articles, if they were their own import-

If we look at the shipping owned in Savannah.) which
exceeds shut owned by the merchant* of any Atlantic
port South of (lie Chesapeake) and employed by her
merchants, a moment's leflvctiim will convince our ren
der* in the interior that the enterprising merchants of
this city are able with their own vessels to transport n
large portion oftlie exporting trade of Georgia, and the
numerous ship* and other square riqjc.l vessels, which
during the business caaitun crowd her wharves, in pur
suit offreiglits for EurapO.wmild. assist in bringing hack
to her shore* the rich return cargoes demanded by the
wants ofnur population. We would desire too to iliroci
the attention ofiiur fellow citizens in tl.o interior to tho
ripldadvani'umontof their Seaport wiildii tiio ln«> eigh'
years. In IfldUtna population oftlie city, exclusive of
the anunty of Chatham, was 7776. In IKI8 it had f
creased tn IJ. 708, being nn addition of more than sixty
per cent, (exclusive or o ttMindent population f o.»
November tn March of about 3000 more,) nod in the
three years ending in August last upwards of 100 build
ings (many of them brick) of viriuus sizes luve been
erected in ilia city an l suburbs, (several of them im
posing fire proof warehouses, capable of storing lar^e
quantities of cotton.) while since that period many sub
stantial edifice* have been raised.
One thousauJ feet of new wharves have also bee a
race itly reclaimed from the river for thn use of the
fltty, and eighteen steam, rice and raw mills,have been
erected within the part ten years in the-city and Its
immediate vicinity—five of them having been raiscJ
within the last two years. The value of her real estate
has thus materially Improved, us e voiced by the high
rents and the still increasing demand for houses, sensi
bly augmenting the ordinary sources of the city’* rove,
nue. If we luru to the river and enter imo detailt
we see twenty-two steamboats, belonging to this pors
with nn aggregnte tonnage of 3701 31-9.7, and engines
. of 1021 horses power, besides many plying on our wa
ters and trading here which hail from other places, a*
Charleston and Darien. We ree dsothlrly-teven square
rigged vessels owned in whole or in part in Savannah,
of which eighteen are ships nr the largest class, aver
aging more than five hundred tons. Wo would also
point to our Rail Road, which it now travelled by ?«•
consitrs more than sixty miles, and has been graded
for 105 miles, and under contract for 132 from the city
In this work our city as a corporation, have embarked
half a million of dollars, besides extensive privatr sub-
criptions on the part of our citizens.
We merely glance at these facts,that our fellow conn*
trymen of Interior Georgia may perceive thnt the
prosperity of Savannah is substantial. In the brief
•pace of a Pros|»ectn*, details exhibiting our resources-
and onr progress in the scale of cities, must be avoided.
We must allude briefly tn other snbicci*.
Our columns shall nf course be devoted to nil mat

THE STRUGGLE OF THE DEMAGOGUES.
In a former article, we remarked, that ave could
not expect t-i see our woll-mnnt endeavour* to
smooth dowu tho asperities of party-strife, mid to
create a union of sontinrant between the two great
panics who contrnul public opinion in Georgia, re
ceiving tltoco-operation of all—we could not, wo mild
liopota obtain tho support of those whoso very exis
tence as politicians, is bound op with party distinc
tions, and who must cease to live, should these dis-
* ti°ns b • nrnsed. Political demagogue* have Imcn
id in nil age*, and in all countries. Catamnk
was the loudest declaituer far popular right*, at the
very time, ho was laying the axo to tho root of the
tree.*f liberty in Rome. Marat and Roncsr iF.nnc,
pretended to bofriotuD of tho pooplo—and Intheao
»ur days, the canting abolitionists protend to bo
/«>*</* of the human rare, when tliey would plunge
their country into tho yawning abyss of civil war.
It 1* not strange, then, thut tho word* of " truth
and sober css”—tho cnlm and sincere expression*
of those who love their country truly—who ar- not
ambitious of exalting themselves on the wings of
mere party excitement—who would sooner »ce the
'• olive branch of pottco," waving through tho land,
than tho blood stained flag of party reured on high.
It is not strange, wo repeat, that those who would
bo nothing when tho whirlwind was allayed—op
pose all attempts t • smooth tho troubled waves—to
obliterate tho landmarks by which alone they know
their wav.
We knew this before, and we tire therefore not
surprised to sco tho course pursued by certain presses
oftlie "Stato Right's Party,” concerning thu Presi
dential Question. Opposition is the very " breath of
their nmtrils,” nn.l without opposition, they would
soon ho numbered among the things that were.

THE LATE PRKSENTNENT OF THE
GRAND JUUY OF LIBERTY COUNTY
Wo confiiss our surprise, on perusing such n docu
ment, from such a source. Ill I it boon published
by irre*prau«iblo man, wo should have rcgmdial it
as mere bravail i, or llinnhulitimi ofoxciietlfeeling;
liutciiriii'itiii? from men of influence, nnd character,
from the Grand Jury, it ought nut, wo conceive,
to ho passed over in silence. Wlmt is tho tune of
this paper? Defiance, nud resistance! Menaces
which lire applied, not merely to n particular corpo
ration, liut aim to tliu laws, which they Imve sworn
to respect,—to the judicial decisions they are hound
to enforce, nnd to the principles of good order,
-liiclin* citizens, and particularly n* Grand Jurors,
they hIi old hold in reverential regard. With thn
pending controversy wo Imvn nothing tn do, our
present object is to reprehend surh abnormal, and
Lynch-like" proceedin';*, ns tending to subvert tho
foundations of civil order—to excite unduly the pas
sion* of thn people—to obstruct llm freo enurso of
legal investigations, and to substitute aggrieved ami
injured feelings,—for wholesome Iiws—impartial
liidp-s nnd candid Juries.
Thn language nf thn prejontmeiit is not tolio mis
understood. It is no in itter of quibbling, it boldly
'•ciaics that " wo nerd not he told tlint it isbest to

Wo intend not to listen ono moment to this

feud them in our own way. Wo wish no advice,—
we ask none, not even from tho ablest jurist of our
lnnd. Our course is onward, and we will stand nr
fall by our own oppiulons." Admitting that the
pr icccdings of tho puny against whom this present
ment is mule arc unjust; admitting that this foreign
corporation have no well founded claims to tho terri
tory in question: is tills tho way to prejudge tiio
mutter, is this the way to array thomtclvc* against
every code of justice, nnd every feature of thn coil
stitution? Is this thn way tu say Canute like to
any law, "thus far slinlt lliou cornu and no farther"
oud here shall thy administration cease ? If this ho
rigiit then indeed is law a nullity, and justice but a
shaddow! If the codes anJ statutes already existing,
are nut sufficient, nmplo nud potont, wo have tho
plain constitutional remedy before us, in tho State
Legislature. They can provide a redress for every
gricvanco which comes within the (rrovinco nf their
■iglitfui interference, hut if they are just, and suffi
cient.—if they are su framed as'to bo applicable to
all the emergencies of society, what is our duty as
good citizMiis and as lovers uf equity? to stand in
the attitude of sullco defiance! or rather, wait
tbelrissue, and then, if contrary tn our interest, pur
sue tiio open course of appeal, until wo have ex
hausted of ncccj-ary tlw series of judicatures which
the constitution guarantee* to all.
Wo lament that tho Grand Jury of Liberty county
should have sot such an example nf insubordination,
and restive ness under the apprehension of evil. If
the virtuous, and enlightened, thus spurn the au
thority of law—if thoy who are Us sworn, and con
stituted gunnliani, contemn it* restraint; rAat shall
we expect from the ignorant and the vicious t and

From the Charleston Patriot, May 7
Under tho head of "South Caroline Politics," tlw
Boston Courier of tho 29th ult. quotes, with a va
riety of solemn comments, the substance of an arti
cle in favor of Mr. Clat that appoared somo time
•iuco in tho Charleston Courier, with tho signa
ture of " William Iwwndes." " Strange as it may
seem," says tho Bostoo Courier, "the writer of it
urges upon tbepeoplo af South Carolina the expedi
ency uf adopting Mr. Clat aa the must proper can
didate for tho Presidency." Marvols will tiovur
cease I It is indeed little short of miraculoua that
tlw writer of tlwt article should recommend Mr.
Clat for tho Presidency!!! But really lest the
Courier should suffer front excess of amnzomont,
we must inform hint that tlw artiolo in question was
part and purcol of a little Cloy meeting in Cliarlos-
ton, which wasintrnied to console Mr. Preston for
his Philadelphia " Annordoie." It took ntner, as
we were informed, during tiio session of tiio Com
mercial Convention, nnd conaistod of thirteen full
grown men, all of whom took snuff with Mr. Pres
ton, swore aUegiancotn Mr. Clat and "drank
confusion," we nre not informed to whom. H was
as innocent nnd hnrmloss an affair os a congrega-
gntion of thirteen lambs assembled to oat clovor on
tho top of a hillock.
Wo most quota ono sentence from the article,
with the Boston Courier's comment.
"Our Southern Cnrtius thought to »nve him (Van
Burou) by his astounding interposition and head
long plunge, but tlw wide gaping gulfU still unclosed
and Doltomiess and will swallow up tha adhorents
of both in one promiscuous ruin."
Whnt degree of truth mny ho Involved In this per-
diction, time alone can demonstrate. Thnt auch a
scniimonl, in Uio form of a conjecture, should find
admission into the columns of an extensively circu
lating and influential journal in South Carolina,
seem* to warrant the infcrronco that Mr. Calhoun’s
attempt to uphold tho President |ws not*added to
bis popularity in his uwn Stato.
Hera is another marvel, to witt that the Charles
ton Courier limn'd amit into its columns an article
•peuking lightly nf Mr. Calhoun !! A thing so
umnz'ugly un nut uml, bodes, wo fear, somo derange-
mom in tho earth's axlctree that may lead to mis
chief! This wholn article of tho Boston Courier is
a perfect grotesque; ms modest, grave and gracious
