For the Senate, • WM. W. GORDON, For Representatives, ■ JOHN MIT.LF.N, FRANCIS M. STONE, JOHN K. WARD, RIC11D. D. ARNOLD. FREEMEN TO THE POLLS. Before tbi* number of the Georgina roaches mn ny of our country readers, tho haltlo will bo lost unci won, Tho prjncfplo* of Democracy will bn firmly fixed in tint Ascendant, in Georgia, or the dark mid murky cloud of Federalism will obscure the politi cal horizon for n period. Tb'tse who value tho dourly bought Liberty which tho Conscript Fathers of our country accomplished for posterity, know that is is their duty to come for. ward, and deposit their votes in tint ballot box ns their conscience sliu 1 dictate—no mail who loves his country, or glories in her institutions, can bo neutral. On Monday next the election of n Chief Magis trate for two years, takes place. That officer will he endowed with groat powers—arid his polititnl views should coincide with those of the majority of the people. Ho should ha a trun Democrat, ns Georgia, one of the Old Thirteen, has ever ranged under tho bunners nf Democracy, ll'-r flag, staff was roared on high during the dark nod gloo my days of rovaMmoniiry pci il. When the edict of it tiWmtlantic master went forth, and his merrennry troops dared to endeavour to enforce ii blind olierii- once to his royal will, Georgia enmo forward nml bade defiance to the oppressor of u bravo and mug- nunimous pcoplu. Shull die. now, when interests only secolid to those that animated the patriots of tho Revolution, nro at stake—when tho principles «>f Domocrauy nro acknowledged to he the princi. pics of republicanism, mid essential to oiir permit- nence us n people—shall site now hull heck from the contest T No! Georgia will resume her station In the democratic family. She will lie ono nf tho lending spirits in tho grout work of Reform—she will see that fior «*»’■* have not forgotten the prin ciples they imbibed with their mother's milk. The call will not lie uiih"cdcd, we feel persuaded, nml the t*rt of " Me Don At. T) and RATIFICATION," will resound from tho sealantrd to the mouiit'diis. So may It be. TilK GOVERNOR'S ELECTION. We liope all our fellow citizens uro duly impre* Mil with tlm vast impertance of the Govornor's election which takes pluco on Moinlay next. It is essentially u struggle for prini*ipl»f-“nntl ono thiif no mini who glnrios in the nnmo of a Goorginn citizen should shun. I’ers-mnlly there is liltlo dif ference iM-tween the candidates. Both ure highly honourable men—and wo believe neither of them would sacrifice an iutn of tho opinions they consider correct, to obiuin ovon the high station of Governor of Georgia. Having suid so m'icli --f them as m- n, w<- proceml to review their characters, as poliiician*. Many papers in tho interim* of our Suite, have dmijgpd Judge DoumlKUTV witii being fuvuuruhly disj.osetl to the pretensions nf Henry CT.ay, to the I'rosidentiul Chair, at the coming election. This charge has not been denied by that gentleman. Freemen of Clmthmn county, nro you Ci.ay men? Ify-ui are, Judgo Douoiikuty is your candidate. Another charge has been Hindu against Judge Douoiikuty. Ilo is said to hu the udvortilo of ii National Uunk—we cannot say that ho would sup port Mr. Ci.ay’s 50 million llmik project, hut, nt nil events, it is said, mid wo repeal it on tho au thority of many papers in the Slate,.that Judge DouoiiehtY is an advocate fur a National Uunk. This charge has not been denied. Freemen ol Chulham, if you uro in favour of n National l)mik, Judge Douoiikuty, is your candidate. Wo beliovo the advocates of tho “ Whig" fundi date will ull agreo that lie would sooner vote lor Mr. Ct.at for the Presidency, than for Mr. Van Burkn. Then ho is not our mini. We believe also it will bo conceded, that Judge Douoiikuty it opposed to tho Independent Treasury, and pre fers the Pet Bunk system, ns it is called. Then he is notour man—and we err greatly if ho will receive the vote of n single true republican, who weighs tho subject as ho ought. N», fellow citizens, you nro not recreant to tho principlos which actuated your fiirefallieis in t ! -o dark hour of peril—you have nut forgotten tho les tons instilled by tho Apostle of Liberty 1'iwv.t JerrKltsoN, in each pu'riot Imsom, in tho burning language of eloquence mid of truth—you c*i remember the wire commentaries of James Maim* ao.v, the sage, who curried out the measures of Jef ferson's administration in the letter and in tho spirit, and by whoso experience nml wisd* prahticnlly ilhistmted in his adiiiiuistrutiuu of the Government, your fathers profitted. Y**u also re- tnembor that you yourselves have reaped tin- benefit *if tho sorviccs of tiio " iioldcst U -man of them nil," Andrew J.9CKSON, whose principles find a bold lind mnn'y representative in Martin Van Burkn —tb« President of the Democracy—the M »o of tin J’coplo. Therefore it is, fellow citizens, tint you can never support a man for such mi oxallcd itflico as Gov- rnnr of tho State of Georgia, who oppose, an Ad ninistr-Uum, which is pledged—mul nlreml; has given ahun hnt «*vi-h*ncc of its nttachnieut—t* the principles of n JkffKrson, a M Uitsox, mi l « Jackson. Tin “ Whig" cri li Into, Judge D iuoii- EttrY, opposesth* presmit \daiiuistntlioo, mid can- n it obtain the su.frages of the dem rara'in repohli* c in party or Georgia. As tin appointment of Go vernor in this- Sin to, springs from the p *oplo—tha ^ncuinhcnt of that office sliouhl lie a f lir representa tive of the feelings nml wishes of the majority of that people. Judge Dou.iiierty cannot In* that re presentative, as wo have already shown, by tho principlos ho oiitor'uias—'.wcauso bis opinions •ro diametrically opposite to tit-* majority of tlm people nf Georgia, on tlte uhsorhing topics of n Na tional Uank and uii Independent Treasury. Wo now ukoour lesvuof Judge Douoiikkty, 1br tho present. Judge Me Don * i.n, tho candidate of the democra tic republican party of Georgia, for tlte office of Governor, r. lines before tlte (ample with a manly avowal of his sentim -uts on all p ditical questions that agitato t| M > public mind. First, lie avows hinualf a supporter of the Ad* ministration and an Udv.raetu for Uw re-cb'cilon of MrjVit. OvAiP. Secondly, Hodndatvs himself in fiivor of the In* dependent Treasury, ns tho safest in*vlo of keeping tlw public money*—in I as superior W any plan yet offered. Thirdly, lie is opposed to tin* establishment! dr a National Uank—Iraliuvin* that su It an institution is iiraapedicnt and unnecossaty, and that tlm com mercial interests of the country require no stldi fac t'll ions aid. * Those are his opinions in substance, ns «*x|tresAed in his published letter, which we were happy to be the menu* of first spreading before tho public, in the columns of tho Georgian, Wo itgico with Judge McDonald in his view*, and wa have reason to believe th *t tlm majority of tho poopln of Georg n eiterlnhi tha samo south meats. Thy chnntct -r fnrcntidstoncy which Judge Mcl)oNAt.D bn* long since obtain -d, is to in. a suffi cient gunrnntco that he will nut waver In his opini- mis, which are founded on the imntutnldi* principles of Democracy—tho corner stone of tho Tumplo of Liberty—tho fabric, that was raised hv tho stalwart arms <if the mcnof'70—the architects of a nation's freedom and indu|*endence. But we have other grounds on which to in go the chums nf Judge McDonald. While ho hits ever been an o|hmi nml anient supporter of the principles that barn always guided the Union party of Georgia, he has also been tho stern nml uncompromising friend of Suite Rights, ns expounded by Thomas Jefferson, lie has over been oppns-d t*» fedoral intcrferonco in the affairs of the State Government. Hisadvocacy of the gonuino Slate Rights' principles in the session of 1030, shows at once where ho wns when till* Federal Government threatened to nr test tho Surveyors »f thin Stnto, wilt* were to be em ployed in laying out tho Chemkco country. At that period his pro«cnt opponent, Juilge DouuilKRTY, vot.-il for the following section in the act author izing tho Surveyors to bo appointed—thus rccogniz ing the right of tbo President to nrrost tho survey ors :— •• And be it further enacted. Tbit nothing in this art cuntn tie.I, st all lie sn construed, ns to author ize tii" Governor to order the surveyors to pr**cord with tho survey ns contemplated by this net, until he shall bo satisfactorily informed by tbo Presi dent nf tho United States, that the runuc force of tin* United States will not he e nph*yed to prevent said survey nml occupancy."

Ill Judgo McDonald votml.to appoint tbo survey ors, and tlierohy to resist tbo Federal Government, if necessary—Judgo Dougherty voted to clothe that Government with powers unknown to the con stitution, nod foreign, indeed subversive, of the principles of.$11110 Rights. Who, th-*n. wns the best State Rights man T Assuredly, Judgo Mc Donald. Yet, with a degree of inconsistency, hnr-l to Account fur, Judge DnUOHKtiTY U now liulihed tbo State Rights' candidate. Let us see where, or when Judge McDonald linn over itiven •to like tlie turn we have ju*t nlludud to— und will naive that ho is not n supporter of state sove reignty.

Again,Judgo McDonald is allowed on nil sides to be lit least equally gifted in point nf talent, with hi* competitor.
