onslaught. On our sido is nil that should n-rveuur
arm* for the blow. For—
“Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just.”
Let us then, ho up and doing.
Charles J. McDonald, the candidate of ilm
Democratic Rcpnldicnits of Georgia. Is worthy of
the selection, with which ho has boon honored by
Ms country ni'-n. He is n nun w ho nt till times was
fuitnd at hi* po«t, doing battle for the righteous
ratlin. He Ins been nssociuied with the Union unil
Smte nights parly since his first appearance in pub
lic. Ho has been a most consistent politician—
nn . tinwhyerin,' stipporor of the prineiplos of n
Jicrritaao.*, n Madison, nnd u Jackson.—
^Wllh a s.iond and discriminating judgment—
willl a firinn.*** of put pose sufficient to carry
him through tin* most living ordeal, Judge McDon
alu is fortunatu hr possessing n hlmJmv* and cour

thu high office,' in-whielt innnyoflds fellow citizen*
would-chit him—and hopo tl.ui tho principles of
Georgia will lieconied out to thnir fullest extent in
Ids person tin the first Monday in October. Let it*
give our tensoii* why wo support him. t«l
1. Ho is capnblo—lie is hone* 1 .
2. He is iippusid to consolidation—a protec
tive tariff—and is nd-feo teroDTie tAIf^nctrines of
State Rights, us expounded by TimMA* Jeffcryo.s.
3. He is opposed ’o tho ineoi'pirniiiiifroi' 11 Batik
uf the United States, or to any monied institution of
u similar naiiiro, n>ni f.-r sioii ar o'.jecls.
4. Ho is in favor uf a Divorce of 11 ink and State,
dentisl conflict, w# weft not successAil, our oppo*
nenu gained no victory. Misrepresentation and
calumny were their allies—*an indignant people
have rejected such auxiliaries. Truth has cleared
away tho mist of prejudice, and strikingly does she
now stand out tetween the contending armies,
brightly marking the progress of the battle.
With her wo leave the issue.
Mr. Foiuttii’s name is alsnimcribod on our roll.
As a consistent politician—on able statesman and a
truo Georgiun,lw is our first choico. " Union 1” is the
watchword of the democratic family, and wo have
therefore declared our preference and placed the
name uf our favourite, in our columns, subject to the
decision of tho Convention—believing thut we con*
suit his wishes und thut uf his friends, us well as
our own, by such n proceeding.

present a ImmUtraii >0. nnd would by nl lionoMhle
means promote the ic-elecrion of MAitri.v Van Biz-

Our first reason, nil republican* must admit to
be a * und one.
Our second, all those who ure really jealous of
interforonro by the General G.ivernni -nt, and In
heart nnd truth,such Statu Rights men, ns Jkffeii-
/son was, must hold equally good.
Our third, three can be no diffirronce o'* opinion
among Georgians on, nt this day. Tim settled p dicy
of Georgia has ever been nppoution to n U. S. Dunk
—ns « 01 mopnly nt one.? incuus'iintinml, or if not
»o, inexpe lient, and destructive to tlio principles
of free government.
‘ . Our fourth, Is a necessary consequence from our
third, a* the public treasure must ba secured in
some manner— and tho m et feasible, the plainest,
and most truly republican mode, is by an Indepen
dent Treasury, at once free from executive control,
and at all times subject to tho decrees of tho
people.
OurJifth, every Georgian must accede to, if he
pouess a single particle of patriotism orStato pride,
ifho would have his country a thriving and pros
perous land, in-tead of a poor, neglected nnd unim
portant cypher in the brilliant diadein of stur*
which form this gloriou* Un*on—if lie would nn t
luavo Georgia, behind hand in the race where die*
Ruction nnd wealth, honor and rcuowti will grace
the victor's brow.
-.Our six'h, is an irresistible conclusion of the
whole. Martin Van Burkx hp* been styled in
derision, “aNorthern man, with Southern princi
ples." He ha* proved hitnselftobe so, und as such
wa support him. IIo ha* avowed his determina
tion to support tho South, nt tho la»t extrenio, oven
by the sanctuary of tho temple—the veto—if none*-
aary. Ho ha* b.ym more explicit in his views on
the subject of Abolition than any other President,
since tho foundation of our Republic. It is all es
sential to tho South, thut ho should be re-eicctedi
nod we can support no candidate, who is uot in fa
vour of his re-election, a measure which, if accom
k - plished, will bury the hope* of tho Abolitionists—
the fanatics—in a grnvo so deep, tlmt a resurrection
can never take place. Tho opponents of Mr. Van
Boren, Ms*rs. Clat, Harrison, Webster, &c
can obtain no aid in Georgia; and we nre for giving
our State that which is her right—a voico in tho.
election of a President of this great Republic. We
know there are tome scho would deprive her of
this rights but we believe the freomen of Georgia
will not be disfranchised by such men—by men
who give all to party—nothing to country
No! Georgia wns one of the Old Thirteen

proud confederacy wa* formed, which bid defiance
to tyranny i- Sha had a voice tn elevating a

A NUT FOR THE " AUGUSTA CHRONICLE."
As the Chronicle, (a Bunk pnper) seems to find
fault with Jud.?.* McDonald, beenuso he proposed
hi " April, 1030," to o«lubIUh n Southern Bunk,
with a capital of $40,000,000, fur thu purpose of
enabling the South to he independent of the Xorth,
and tin* grant “regulator" of the ctiirunry, Nicholas
Biddle, Esq. Perhaps tho subjoined proof of
Juibo Pouohkrtt’s dovotiou lo the rights of the
State—or rather his attachment to inordinate pow
ers by the General G-ivernnieut, will also meet the
disapprobation uf thu Chronicle.
A word first concerning the U. S. Bunk.
Judge.McDonald may consider that there is
nothin: iu'tho Cu:t»liliiliim In prohibit thu establish
ment of such nn Institution—but hr be ievet Use*•
tahlisluncnl to be uncalled for and inexpedient.
The Bunk lie proposed was one for the protection
ofSouiliem Commrrcn. It was to he the antipodes
of tho U. S Bank. It wns suggested to keep in
subjection thu .monopoly of the U. S,-Ranis, which
iir.f rforod through iu bend, with the Southern mer

DOUGHERTY AND STATE RIGHTS?
We w -in*. forcibly struck with the following re
marks which we find in a paper warmly devoted to
Judge Dougherty, thut we copy thorn, with a brief
answer tonvhero ho •* w is in those fnurliil times."
" Thu State Rights party claim the prineiplos of
'1)3 as their next book, mid bclinvetlnit Nullification
n* professed und practised by ns, is a legitimate doc
trine, inculcated by thnse principles."
" We do d-ny allegiance to the United Stntos,
because the United Slates nro known as such, only
hy the Coiistiuitiun which emanated from the
States."
"Th-saui" print enquires with nn nir of triumph,
•• Wh re Judge Dougherty was in thosu feurful
tinu-s, when tliose principles wero discussed in
Georgia /"
And tln'n answers,
“ Let him turn tn the Journals of the Legislature,
and ho will find that lie supported th so principles,
which in our opinion, are the only ones which can
preserve the ri.lit* of the States, und tho Constitu
tion of the United States."
Oil reading the remurks above quoted, we turned
to the Journal* of lint Legislature, for tho purpose
of ascertaining how fur tliuy wero sustained hy his
votes upon qu-»t ions Involving the principle* of State
sovereignty, and directed our attention to tho pro
ceedings upon the hill to survey and occupy the
Cherokee country.
Among tlio numorous substitutes and amend
ments which were olfered during tho discussion,
" Mr. Beall, of Twiggs, offered the following ns an
additional section:" .
And be it further enacted, That nothing in
this act contained, shall he so constructed, us to
authorise tho Governor to order the Surveyors to
proceed with tho survey ns comtcmplntcd by this
tier, until bo shall bo satisfactorily informed by
the President nfthc United States, that the Pub
lic force of the United State*, will not be employ
ed to prevent said survey and occupancy "
Tho you* and nays ►tnod—for tho section, 0—
against i*. 117—Judge Dougherty voting for it
Are the principles contained in this section, " the
only one* which chh preserve the rights of the
Statc4 ,, < Are the*.* tho boasted principle* of nul
lification 7
Where was Judge Dougherty In those fedrful
times 7" We answer, that he was voting " alle
giance to the United States," and not only allegi-
anco, hut submission by declaring under his solemn
oath, the authority of the United State*, with an
armed force, to arrest the government of Georgia,
in theexorrise of her constitutional rights.
Anri this is tho support which Judge Dougherty
gavo to the principle* of nullification, " in thoso
fearful time*;” and this is the evidence which is tn
bo found in the vorv journals to which we nro point
ed for evidence in hi* behalf.
Suppose a motion hud boon made in the Smith
Carolina Convention, thut no measures sh >uld be
taken to enforce their ordinance, until General
Jackson should have “satisfactorily informed"
her Governor, •* that thu public, force of tho United
Status would not be employed to prevent" its execu
tion 7 What sort »'f a figure would tho mover have
cut 7 Nullification would have disowned him, and
he would have been hissed out of the Convention.

tion and Stnte Right* principles, nnd the less tho

Tho lYiidleton Messenger of tho 12th inst. says,
We see that some of our brethren of tho press are
inclined to do u* honor overmuch, in supposing tha

of Mr. Calhoun’s opinions on tho subjoct, except
what may by possibility bo inferred from hi* pub
lished speeches. For nil that wo have *uid, we
alone bear the responsibility, having held no consul,

ono olio. With tho dittiuguWhcd gentleman, we

Keep Moving.—" I have lived," ••Id tho inde-

of hitmen happiness is this;—Never suflsr your en

paper, and urn sometimes very much iiinnsed with
tho anonymous articles that uppuar. 1 must say,
however, I felt more iitdigimul than pleased with
two tu tides in this tnorniug's paper—*>no front
Tantalus, the other the Prickly Pear Club—nud
felt sorry thnt they had to resort to the old theme
of abusing our sex, tn write wliut they think nil
amusing jirtido—because I thought tho I'. I'.C.
had some originality. To begin with Tnutulu*;
unitvilhituudhig air tho horrors Itu endured from
buzzing mosquitoes, mowing cuts, hut-king dogs,
nud braying ttiu'o*, nothing equalled his dream of
being an ohl woman. Now I should like to know
whom is thu horror in being an old woman l for /
think lean show you, Mr. Editor, thut nn old wo
man i* really of tn «ro use, und loss in thu way, limit
an old man, and ns every ono likes to live as long
a* hu can, wa shall he ull old, if wn live long
enough. An old wnmuu enn, und guuomtly docs,
mako herself usofitl by liitlo kind office* in thu fami
ly in whicli situ is placed—situ darns stockings,
knits sock*, hums knif-t towel* and dusters, and
whon there is lined, takes caw of tho baby, whon
mamma and nurse ure engaged—tenclio* thu children
their prayers, and listens patiently to tho coinplninti
of thu (liflereul tnemb.-r* of her family. I doubt
whedipr Tumulus evue Imd a dear, good old grand-
miHhcr, to hoar, nnd redress his litllu griovnneos,
or ho would not Imvo been in such a terror at
dreaming ha was nit old woman. Tell me, pray,
if you cun, what an old man is good for 7 I will
niiswer you—Nothing—miles* to give trouMo to
ty one uround him; aftor tending and re-reading
the newsjntpcrs, his time lmttg.< so heavily thnt ho
stops every gossip, tnalo and female, to hear tho
newt; hu nnfil hu waited on like nn infant—his
whims studied, his nppotito pampered—and, after
all he is a dead weight on all around him; general
ly It becomes irritable, so lint tlm must comfort
able part of tho twenty-four hours is when (to is in
hod. Acknowledge, Mr. Editor, that this is a fait
picture, nnd draw tho parallel. I now leuve Tun-
talus to find somo less hackneyed thetne fur his lu
cubrations, nud suy a word to the I’. I*. Club. I
own there is u great dearth uf courtship and matri
mony in our litllu city—hut 1 do uot acknowledge
it is nttrihutublo altogether to the young ladirs, nr
lltuir mothers, in educating them. Look at tlio
young men, who think morn of their growth of huir
than growth of intellect, who spend more money
in pe fumes nnd cigars, than they curti, who lnungo
about nil day in idlcucss (in the street, to ho sure,
while tho young Indies nre, possibly idle within
doors) and spend their evenings—no ono knows
where—at least tho Indies do not, but presume at
soma club—to *ay.notldng of tho billiard-labl.-. Sue.
&c., and who nover look nt a young lady with a
loving, or rather it courting eye, unless thoy know
how much she is worth—when she will get posses
sion, and how many old reloti ns have tn dio, before
sho can havo unqualified right. Look ut nil thin,
whiuh you cannot deny, and you will find a more
true reason for tho doarlh of matrimony in our com
munity, than in our girls merely pUying tho l’iano,
or never going nut until 6 o'clock in tho evening,
for a walk—admitting this is all they do, which, by
the by, I am far from admitting.
How do tho P. P.C. gentlemen know that those
young Indie* will uot make good wives. We all
know, that Irt a woman's education bo what it will,
her character Is seldom or never fixed, until sho be
comes a wife, and that more than one h*lf depends
on her husband, whether sho i* truly a helpmate
or not. As to a lady devoting a groat deal of time
to book*, aftor murriago—you, lords of the rrea-
lion, prevent that—there is surh a constant de
mand upon Iter lime, to attend to your comforts at
homo, that very little is left for improving tho m*nd
—which should ho done, a* far ns reading can do
it, before marriage—for a groat reader i* seldom a
good housekeeper; and if the music and poetry
are thrown aside, it is to give place to the realities
nf life, which constituto our weal or wo. And if your
discontented, pinch of snuff taking gentlemnn, i*
really in earnest, be may find more than one, plain,
sensible woman in our community tint tl® slave of
fashion. But the fault is uot there, it is in the idle*
ness and luxury of our young men, who cannot main
tain Ikcmsrlott—nnd must marry’ wives that can do
it: nnd, unfortunately fur them, there are not many
ymtifg ladies with fortuno* sufficient to cntico them.
In my day, Mr. Editor we married far love, n word
that is not known now, is Use vocabularies of mod
ern dictionaries, and my grand children look at mo
with doubt, when I m l thorn wo married for love
first, and money afterwards. I will now tnko my
leavo of your two eotrespondsnia, lest from my gar
rullity you should calJ ms an old woman, in verity
and truth—hoping our sex will be treated with more
Justice amt loss ridicule. I remain, your constant
reader, which, l am turv, i« more pleasing to you,
than if I wens to sign myself

THE LOAFERS' PETITION.
" Non fltmunt ex fttlgoro sed ex fumo dare lucent."
To me Honor, yiik Mayoh or Savannah.
We, poor loafers, approachyuur Honor, with deep
respoct, and a*k you to use your influence, with tho
well-fed Aldortncn, over whom it is your cruol lot
tn preside, to liave the laws repealed which
Ut "smoking in tho public streets," and
in the markets,"
'The first U an unconstitutional law, nnd wo loaf
er*, from tho rad uxpericnco wo have had of l-a-w,*
ought to know n thing or two, on tho subject—nml
u* you urn ono of the best lawyers wo know, you
doubt, well aware that tlm law is u hail uuc,
und that it is agin thu Con*titutiun.
Tho law which prevents gentlemen of our calling
from enjoying thu luxury of the breezes of tho
" sweet South," while reposing iu easy dignity, on
a butcher's block, in tho market, of a warm night,
is a manifest Interference with the liberty of tho
public in general, ami must inconvenient, nml dero-
gutmy to thu old cstaulinhed privilege* olTuufets in
particular.
Honoured Sir, you should slnml in tho breach,
nnd defend our rights, fur our only hope rests un
you. You lmvo tho "milk of human kindness"
overflowing in your breast—you never turn up your
Huso nt one of us becuuse wn can't make u raise
with Ute tailor—or bocniiao sundry guihes grin hor
ribly in some of our black silk castors—that were.
Nor do you ever nvuil yourself of tho screuti
of yo*r spectacles, to luok straight ahead, nr peer
into tlm sky, when you pass one of us unfm lunate*.
No, you leuvo that to some uf thu tieht-laccd, lip-
screwed aldermen, who think n man i* pu»t oil re.
demptiun, nml going headlong to tho regions of Lu
cifer tlio Grunt, if he does taka a horn of cool
brandy und water; and who think honesty is to Ito
found uuwhoro hut in tlio breast of it teetotaller
Now, Mr. Miiyor, just think of the injury we sus
tain, by being deprived nf tho philosophic enjoy
ment of tho hull ond of a real Havana, un a regalia,
oil u summer's night. Many times havo I picked
up n hutfull of bulls opposite the Hutol, which
would lust mo n week, now not ono can I find.
Besides, tho worthy host of tlio Hutol must lose n
great deal In the snlo of his cigars, and ns wo loaf
ers aro must friendly to that portly gentlemnn, wo
regret to soo that he mny bo said to bo one of us, on
this occasion, ns ho is a fellow sufferer.
Huvo you uvor seen half a dozen of us, Mr. May
or, about tlio grating of tlio Hutol, during the hour
preceding dinner time, snuffing up with avidity the
savoury odours from tho plenteous kitchen—mock*
turtlo—rcnl turtle, roast und boiled turkeys, wild
ducks, and venison, ami many other duintics, have
wo scented, ns thoy wero carried steuming up to
the table—thus, wo enjoyed tlio luxury of n dinner
in imagination—thou wo would loaf for u gla*s of
brandy, nibble n cracker mid a pieco of cheese, nnd
ho huppy for tlm dny. But the golden ngo of loaf-
prism lias departed! Wo tire deprived of our rights
—our rank* urn filled with too many well dresutl
inoiutiorj, whose Muck Matin bosoms, und smooth
black suits, havo not got the finishing touch that
stump* tho genuine luofer, viz:—Aw polish that
invariably altuclu-s itself tu tlio sleeves uf our coats,
nml the nether extremities of our inexpressible*,
(forgive the word I)
D.,, Mr. Mavnr. restore us tlio inestimable privi
lege uf smoking in the streets!
Do, Mr. Mayor, let us sleep in the market! I
Do, .Mr. Mayor, lii'ni our ranks of every well
dre*-ml loafer, whose elbows are nut peeping nut
through his cent sleeve*—who wear lung hair—
uncombed, iin1irti*hed,nml Itiiusteful negligence!I!
Mako them work, Sir, that l* punishment enough
for the greu'e*t criminal III!
Do all these thing*, Mr. Mayor, nnd tho wind
fraternity of loafers proper, will Mess you. You will
continue to possess tho tha immurlul fumo uf nn tip-
right and impartial magi strain (which you have
already), und u* you walk nlong tint streets, wo will
shout with ono accord " Hurrah for tho loafers'
friend!"
Wo nro ill uied men—n disease infects us that
has been long since pronounced incurable—that of
carrying our It inds to our mouth* too often—wo ure
an nfllicimt hotly, nnd when ull wo nsk Ih tho chance
of picking up tho buttend of a cigar—to stretch our
weary limb* on tho butcher*' tnblna—and tnaend the
most useless men of our cloth, to work you cannot
refuse to grant the prayer of our petition.
Signed, on behalf of thu Savamiith Loafers pro
per, by myself in person ;
BILLY BARLOW.
You know when your Honourhud me before you,
and you told mu if l did lint go to stork, you'd in
flict tho "highest penalty of tlio L-A-W," on me.
You kept your word; for what penalty can ho great

There is indeed a slight mistake. In tho first
plnee, there is no stirli paper in Alabama, at tho
"Macon Messenger"—there is no such bank iu
Alabama, ns tlm " Real Estate Bank nt Decatur,"
nor ha* there ever been—there ha* been no bank
in Alabama "destroyed"—no President of n hank
attempted tn mako his escape—and, of course,
none “ pursued," " overtaken," ot " hanged." A
fow mistakes for a parapraph of six linos.
"Tho truth.tho whole truth, nud nothing but tlio
trutb;" we behove to bo simply this:—Tho Real
Estate Banking-House, at Decatur, Mississippi,
was destroyed—sho President thereof did slope—
we nover heard of his being pnrsu- d—ho is now
safe and sound in Texas, where ho is otulo-vuring
to |mr»uudo tho good poopln of tho young Republic,
that said Bank is perfectly solvent that there ha*

that it* note* will he redeemed. Whether or not
