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 tesy ofmanner, that 11111*1 nudmir Idin to his filLvv ci tizen*.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Y wu admirer, AN OLD WOMAN. July 11. [CUNMVNICAYED.] THE LOAFERS' PETITION.
