We have this morning to record tha loss of tlw

New York mad thi» port, which the veteran acaman,
Capt. D. L. Pont an, commanded. Apprehensions
for her fate have been entertained In this city lor

GkntLEMEX t—It is painful to advise you of tbo
total loos of the Ship Milfedgmrille.
On Thursday (21st) at 4 I*. M., passed Sandy
Hook, wind S. S. E.; from that time till the morn,
iug of the 28th, fine wenthor, light winds from the
* Southward, Rltetidrd with calms; at 0 A. M. on the
28th, took a light breeze from tbo N. E , latitude
37 rfl at 6 P. M. airing breezes and cloudy, at*
tended with rain, took in steering sails; at 8 P.
M. , the storm increasing, took in the mainsail and
jib, double reefed 'he topsails—sounded, 29 fathoms
of water—steering S. E t at halfpast 12, midnight,
while in the act of passing the lead to sound, dis*
covered land on the Ice quarter, wind N. E. to E.
N. K. and strong attended with squall* and a heavy
aaa, the wind at this moment hod veered in a
squall to the East and E. by N., the ship could
not lie hither than 8. E. by S. and S.S. E.,in a few
moments mada breakers ahead; wore ship to the
Northward, in n short time taw that thn ship could
not door the land i wore ship to iho Southward and
Eastward and made breakera aliead again, it being
cloudy and squa'ly, could not see the land to disco-
weMhe situation of the ahip. By this time wc were
ao near the land that it was impossible to work off-
as there was too much sea und wind for iho ship to
stay. Our situation wa* now alarming, and wc all,
as one, on board thought best to run the ship head
on shore, to save our lives. I did so. At 2 A. M.
Thursday morning the ship struck the bottom. At
3 A. M. the ship bilged a>u| filled.
We alt got on shore safe with the exception vf
one seaman drowned nnd six steerage pnssongrr*.
While I was in tho act of assisting tin* passengers,
a sea took me from the ship and by mere accident
1 caught hold of a r**pe and the men hauled me in*
to the boat The afternoon nnd night of the 29ih
it blew one of the most violent gnle* tlini I ever
saw, attended with heavy rain. The ship Ira* all
broken up. I cannot name one article of the ship,
of any value, that will be saved, but thn long boat.
The anchors, chain, rigging und sails are all emnrg.
ed in the surf. The cargo is strewed hi every di
rection. and hut a small |*art of it is to be found,
and that In a very bad state, ft is of hut liulu
vulue. In n word, I may say that tho ship and car
go are almost a total loss. .
I shall remain liere till nil is sold, and accounts
closed for tho benefit of whom it muy concern.
The sale of property will take place In ten days
from this date.
Respectfully yours,
D. L. PORTER.
P. S. The breakers that wo made ahead proved
to ba the whimhlo shoals, inside of which there U o'
good pasta go and plenty of water.* If I could ha vo
seem I would have gone through in safety. My
firffvoyage to sea was in October 1798, and this is
the first limn that I lutvu been cast away. My
means of writing are bad, nnd I have no glasses."
Extract of a letter from a passenger (on board
the Miliedgcvillo) to a friend in this city, dated
ELIZABETH CITY, Sept. 5, 1839.
I haro had news to givo you—we were wrecked
on tbo 29th ult. on the coast of North Carolina,
forty miles North of Capo Hatteras, alter being nino
days at sea. I was very near losing my life. I
was the last that left the vessel; Capt. Porter bare
ly escaped. 1 have lost all my clothing as well as
n quantity ofgouds, which I had on board. I am
obliged to return to N. York to mako other pureha-
•es. Wu have lust seven passengers and ono sea
man.
Twelve hours after thn ship struck she was in a
thousand pieces. All tho goods on board will ho
lost with the exception of liquors, which are ingo<*d
order. They will bo sold on tho 9th ins*. I was
almost naked and without money when I reached
tho shore. Thank God, tho Lodge will supply mo,
and enable me to return to New York.

No. 39
THE GOVEKNOK’S ELECTION.
Our accounts from all quarter* are very Haltering
to our Candidate’* success. The State Rights'
Party through the State era supporting Judge
Dougherty with uncommon unanimity, and many
who do not ca l themseivu* strictly Statu Rights'
men, who dislike Judge McDonald'* currency no
tions, will sustain tire election of our C'andiilate.
There is little doubt of Judge Poughenv'* success,
by a handsome majority.—Georgia Aletttnger,
ilk imt.
Sow, wo wish all to know that "Judge McDoU-
At.n’s currency noiion-,'' as above alluded to, mean
opposition to a National lluok, and a preference for
gold and silver coin, to irresponsible paper notes.
Tho persons in Georgia who dislike thutn " notions"
are very few indeed; end most assuredly there are
n*»t enough of them to elect a Governor. The
Georgia Mruengrr is one of ihcfuw papers in this
Stnto which favors n U.S. Bunk, but, of late, it ha*
cooled down w.AiderfuUy. It found that lira peo
ple were against the Bank—and that it would not
do.
The persons who do not agree with " Judge Mc
Donald's currency notions," and wlur, according
to tha Airucnger, " will sustain tlw election" of
Judge Douoiikiitt, most consider that the latter is
a U. S. Hunk man—or something of that. kind.
Isbef If he is not, why dues nut Judge DouoH-
KRit imitate tho good example set hint by JuJgu
McDonald, and liko a plain and honest Republi
can express his opinions on that most important
question 1 Why does ho permit hi* views tu re
main clouded in mystery 1 Or, why do those who
have sent him before the people as n candidate fur
the highest office within their gift, suffer this innttur
to be one of doubt I Are tlioy afraid to spread his
opinions Irafure tho people! Do thoy dread tho
issue! All thuso question* they should answer 1
Will they 1
Wo have published tlw opinions of our candidate
without fear. Wo knew they were acceptable tii
tlw |HH*plo of Georgia. We rejoico In thn hold and
manly—a* well as iho coimistaut and honorable
sentiment* lio avowed | and unless we an* greatly
nmtaken the result ufllie ensuing ulecion will show
that tho citizens of this State think with Judge
McDonald, and will reward him with their confi
dence.
The voters of Georgia should trust no man who
conceit* hi* opinions *ui any qucstiifh nflccting their
interests. Tito candidate who will nut freely ex
press himself before un election can soldum bo cun-
tided in. We have a right to know Judge Douait
xrtt's opinions on lire Rank and the Sob-Treasury
questions. Wo should Imvo known them ere this.
Why it is that wo tin nut, U best known to those
who are behind the curtain.
REDUCTION.
We trust all our fellow citizens are duly impress
ed with tho vast importance nf ibis question. Ev
ery patriot in Georgia should avow Idmselfa friend
of Ratification. Tlw necessity fur reducing the
numlwr of tm-mlwrs nf the Legislature has long been
admitted, hath on the score of economy and the
mure important one, that of facilitating the despatch
of public business. The plan proposed Ly the late
Reduction Convention hit* met the approval nf men
uf all politic.il creeds, who have apprunched tho
subject, imbued, as they should be, by c mduur and
patriotism. It is certainly th*t mutt |*ruct(cable
no asure *»f the kind that lias yet coma before the
people, ni (I is beyond nil question, entitled to their
support. Wc wdl not permit ourselves to doubt
its sucres*. It has already been fully canvassed,
and must generally approved of; nnd the Conven
tion which ndupied it, was one of tho most talented
that perhaps ever assembled in Georgia. Mon of
opposite political opinions agreed unit, and thereby
deprivr <1 tho measure of every thing resembling a
party character. We trust that no such complex,
ion willlw given it at the c-.ming nluotion. Indued
when it is considered, that one uf the object* fe to
save the people’s money,(and ImIi |*artie* pay tax
es,) there cannot be an idea of that kind. And
surely both sides wish to expeditapublio business—
therefore are they equally interested.
In Chatham, at all events, nu doubt can exist.
Our delegates were selected frum both political par
ties—unanimously selected. We approve nf their
acts, and we hope all our fellow citizens will on the
first Mondny In next month, prove that they agree
wiihthem ami with us, and are in favor uf " Reduc

Givinoup thk Contest.—The Cincinnati Cliron
icle has come out with a "proposition to the
Whigs" to abandon their opposition to the demo
cracy, as utterly hopeless. A similar disposition
has been manifested elsewhere, as npjwars by the
following from the New York Gazette
" Tlwre is already manifested privately by certain
members of the Whig puny, a disposition to yield
tho contest to their adversaries; their hopes for the
future seem to have di-appeared ns suddenly before
the late intelligence from the South and West, as

Senator Fosteii. or Tennessee.—The Nash

LET GEORGIANS BE UNITED.
The great question* which divide patties at the
•seat day are the 8ab-Tre«*uty, and a National
ink. We believe honestly that the (tamer ques
tion I* one that will eventually find favour in thn
eyes of even it* present opponents, when it is put
into practical opr ration, and wu believe Anther that
it is tba safest ami m *st economical plan that could
be adopted fot iho preservation of tho public trea-
« We ure persuaded that most of tho leading
men of bub parties in Georgia coincide with us in
opinion on this a'woriiing topic—end also firmly
believe that the next presidential election will prove
beyond all doubt that this Statu I* oiitliusiutticnlly
in favour of that measure. And, why I Simply,
because it it a plain, republican, ami uncomplicated
mode of guarding tho revenues of tho nation, from
the grasp of the Executive, or tho peculation * uf thn
dishonest. It is one that all can understand, and
as such recommend* itself tu fivomen. The hue
and cry which was raised against the Sub-Treasury,
when it was first proposed, was not the result of
honest conviction. Had tho judgment been ul ow
ed due scope, the measure which went to simplify
and make rosy the modnt operands uf the fiscal
concern* of our Government would oven then have
been adopted. Tho Federalist!have over been for
throwing a veil of mystery over Rot operations uf
that engine of Slate concerns, by which rite revenue
it collected and disbursed. And why should they
not! They huve had need of "secret service
money," and tlteir great leader Hamilton, never
intended that the whulo people should become ac
quainted with tho nrruna of Government. In auc
Republican country, every thing connected with tho
administration of public affiirs should bo so legible,
that oven tlw least rdoewtad should bo able to com
prehend it. Tho Suh-Tr.M/ry plan is one of this
description, and us such will Iw supported by the
Democracy of tbo Union—and as such will receive
tbe united support of the South, iu particular.
Hnd Mr. Van Buran been a mm of lets firm
ness than ho undoubtedly is—hud lie hern a time
server, or a lover of ephemeral popularity—he would
hare been terrified by the denunciations of tlw
Whigs" and Ratikitc* on his first accession to tlw
Presidential clinir into opposition to that saving
measure—and thus ho would have betrayed hi* con
stituents—the Democracy. Or, when tlioy found
that ih-ir thundaibolts glanced harmlessly from his
brow, iitul when liu stood unrulllod and calm before
the people, nnd they resorted to syren *• ngs, and
hymns of faint praise in his behalf—saying " Mr.
Van Burk* has too much sense to follow in tho
stop* of hi* pn-dwssor," &«., then hud ho not the
inflexibly integrity that should ever distinguish thu
First Mn«i*trata of this Republic, he might have
yfehfed to what tlw " Whigs" w*wl.l term expe
diency— and have pott|*om*d or suppressed the
measure. But.no! Amidst tlurms of hfveetlvn,
whirlwinds of calumny, that Man of the People has
been true to tho peo, lo’s cause. Nor shall be be
forgotten!
Wftll respect to the plan of it National Bnnk—
for example take tlw Fifty Million Bank of Mr.
Clat, we have only to say that tlw people of Gior
gio, en mane, have ever been opjwscd to such an
institution. Even were tho plan, a novel one, to be
trb’d for tlw first time, wo nrn certain that tho Re
publican* of Genrgiii, » ould rise in their might nnd
say nay to any such project. It is into, that in
1810, we believe, the Ilnprereiitutives from this
State iu Congress, or a minority of thiun, supported
the recharter of tho U. S. Bank—but it wa* done
under peculiar circumstances. Since that period,
tlw sullied policy of Georgia has been opposition to
Untied Status Bnnk. It it needless to on'arge
t this subject—it is worsa than useless f**r any
press in this Statu to attempt tho advocacy of such
• measure. Hence the silence oftliat jmrtion, (and
it is a small one,) of tho opposition print* In Geor
gia, at this time, on ihn question of a National Bank.
Wo may say without fear of contradiction that
Georgia is an Anti U. S. Bank State.
On both of the questions wo have thus cursorily
glanced at, great unanimity of opinion exists among
the rival parties for power in Georgia. Tho rally
ing cries of" Stato Right*!" of « Ui inn!" are heard
no more. Events have proved that thu Union men
were as good State Rights men, as tho latter were
good Union men. In a word, in Georgia, and we
are proud tu say it, we are all Slate Rigklemen!
alt Union men It Tho pubic mind in this State at
present can be dlitmctud but by tho Sub-Treasury,
and tbe National Bank questions so far as National
interests are involved. Those who are in favour of
the Sub-Treasury, and opposed to thn Bank wdl
voio for .Mr. Van Bukkn's ro olortion—those who
hold opposite opinions will support Mr. CLAT. Wi
speak, of course, only of two candidate-*; because
they will be tbo two opposing elements—unless in
deed Groat HsnnT of tho West Is drnpp-d by tho
"Whig" ultilitarinnt for Gen. Harrison! In
either case, Georgia will support Mr. Van Burcn.
Both parties are now, wo presume, satisfied that
Martin Van Boren is more friendly to the South,
than any other candidate in ike field—therefore
both parties nro bound to aid in his re-election.
We regret tu see that some persons are so blind
to tho truo interest* of their Stnto, as not to take
our vlows of this subject. They nro. however, very
few. The piepotterotitneis of starting a candidate
in Georgia, who cannot get a vote out of th* a State
is too glaring for remark. It reminds us of the en
vious man who suffered one nf his own eyes to he
put out that he might put **nt both *»f his neighbours.
No—this wrill not do. Georgians can see for them
selves, and have too much spirit to suffer their
voice to be stifled, at a period w hen every freeman
should be at his post. No—the issue is Martin
Van Bcren—or Henry Clat.
Choose ye, b- tween them.
In conclusion, wo will ask our follow citizens of
both parties, why there should be a difference be
tween them now! Let them ask tbeir own hearts
tbe question, and we are certain tbe reply will be
" there is no d>fference between u*!" Then, for
once, we say "LET GEORGIANS BE UNIT
ED !"
A FACT—A STUBBORN FACT!

AGAIN, WE SAY, "LET GEORGIANS BK
UNITED."
We ehall trouble nbr reader* with a few more re
marks, in continuation of those we mad- ymtenlty,
on a subject of the lost importance to tlw well nidi-
era of our State.
It it universally admitted that the existence of
parties is indi .pi-arable hi the well-being of a free
State. As long at the public good is the prise that
parties struggle fur, it 1* well that they should exist.
But then, when principle It abandoned, and the
spoils of office alone are sought, parties become ob.
noxious to the State, nnd thu first principles of free
dom are undermined. Country I* forgotten in tho
rapacious strife—and nothing it though' nf hut vic
tory, although «uch n triumph might ring the death-
knell nf Liberty itself. Georgia has for some yearn
endured as fierce party contentions, as, perhaps,
any other State iu the Union. Like q loving mother
she has shed tears of bitterness, when she saw her
tons disunited, nnd pulling one against another.—
She has wept that they did not join heart in hand to
promnto thuir own welfare and that of their children
—but her tears have been nnnntked, or unseen by
lier thoughtless offspring. A better day, we hope,
has dawned. Tho rancour.of party is fast falling
into docay—and men are buginning to l»*k on oach
other without hatred, although professing different
political creeds. This is as it should be—and wu
trust the hour is not distant when that man will be
decried, and put duwn, who would lend himself to
party, for party purposes alone. Whtu this time
arrives, men will be valued for their intrinsic worth
—their ability, their honesty, and their tisafulnass.
Thu more party bruwier, who is uften lilind into of
fice, in thn place of a butler man, will find Ids level.
Sinrcrely do wo wish, as luvers of our cuuntrj, tu
see this day.
Follow citizens of Gnurgln, those nro iho wools
of un^lio lias been in tho midst of tho buttle when
it raged the fiercost—who has mingled in tliu fray,
-and wliu sorrowed luscu Ids country tom by dis-
seniinns—and who now rejuico* that no reul cunsn
of dilferoncu exists to keop hit countrymen npart.
The principles f*r which butli parties in (i-orgiu
have been struggling—tbe republican principles of
Thomas JxrrxHtoN, am triumphing in ull parts of
tho Union. They have gained oven where limy have
not succeeded, ami their march i* onward. Yes—
since Georgia first cast her vote for An luaw Jack-
son, ilie slur of Democracy has been rising higher
und higher, until now, it bun tnken its fixed pluco
in die firmament. Must it nut bo gratifying, then,
to Georgians, to sea tbo principles for which their
futliur* bled—to which they uto devoted—thu nc-
knowledged principles uf tills great Confederacy uf
free and sovereign States T
Tbo President of tbo Republic subscribes in tlio
fullest and must legitimate sense to the true doctrine
of Siuto Rights, iu laid down by Jefferson, by
Madison, and by Jackson. He owes his elec
tion to tbe democracy, North and South, East and
West, who believe in those Republican doctrines.
He (the President) is also pledged to defend the
Institutions of ilia South to an extremity—even Di
the exercise of the veto power—that last resort of
the Executive. Uur truly Republican President, is,
in fact, identified with the South, by his uwn sucred
nnd public doctoral ions. All that tho Smith has over
sought, which lias met with the concurrence of the
majority of tier citizens, lie is anxious aim should
mnmtnin. When hoi domestio ponce was l» dun-
|*-r by thu transmission uf Inflammatory und iucen-
y documents through tlw mail, who nish**d to
tlw rescue of tlio South I Martin Van Buren !
Ay, when a lie lu.*k place in the Senate of the Uni-
ted Slates oil u hill to pruhlhlt the carriage of Abu
tiliun pnjH>r*, <tc.,—18 to 18—Mr. Vak Uuuxn,
then Vice President of the United Stales, and Pre-
sklent uf tbe Sunate, descended from his scat, and
gave tho tailing voir in favor of tha South! And,
mark! Mr. Clat voted against the passage of tbe
law. Can the Sou-h forget Mr. Van Bdrcn's coo-
duct on this occasion t Never.
In our remarks yesterday, we ventured to say,
that if tlie question of the establishment of a Na
tional Bank wet to come up before the people of
Gnorgin, for the first time, they would reject it.—
Wo nro certain tlioy would—their grnuino republi
can principles would inevitably lead them to do so.
But, new, after tin* history of llw late U. S. Bank,
lias Into laid hare Iwfuro the ryes of the whole
country—whon hs multifold corruptions—its gross
vsnahty—its tyrannical attempts to cootcu public
opinion—to bend ihe people to its sovereign will—
to enrich or impoverish, as it pleased—to boy up
the press, and to dictate terms to tlie Government
—when ull these enormities iu a free country, have
become plain ami understood by tbe penplo of Geor
gia, nu |*olitician in this State would risk his char
acter, by d--elaring himself openly in favor of such
an Institution. All that enn be said in behalf of
such a Bank, is that it may facilitate Exchange* if
it cboise— granted. But State Bank-, when th*-y
have fuir pluy, and are not crushed by such a po-
liticn-commcrninl machine, enn ufferd as much fa
cilities as ever the Uuited State* Dank did. And

say, a.greater unanimity of opinion exists in Geor

and tbe next Presidential Election. We have

of the correctness of our viows. The people are
