HARItlbON IN GEORGIA.
Tho Anti-Van Biir. ii Puny in ibi* State, or at
least, some of them (fur wo cannot Imlk-ve nfter
tlieir aversion in 183G to thi* nominee ofllio Whig*,
nn aversion expn'»*ed at Millodgciille a* lute a*
Doeomlter ofla«t year hy the party in lit" Legisla
ture, all oflhem)aro coming out for W*. II. Hah-
StlSoH. *
Whatever the disposition of the party in M»nroc,
Itibb, ami oilier counties of llte Fiuto to take up
FUnnison, we ere not prepared to believe tlint
nil llte "Stoic Rights men" of Georgia, as thoy
have be«'n duhlted by their parly name, will suffer
tltcmselve* to be lod to llte *up|*orl of a man, around
/ whose banner flock the noisy Incendiaries in ConJ
gross, und the Wldgs of the Northern and Knstrrn
States, with tho Itanncrs of th.'lr dan*—with their
inscriptions— TkeBonk— Tke Tariff of protection
—not, Tke Tarff of Revenue—Reception and
reference #/ pelitioas to Congrcet, koitilc to ike
South, 4-C. t$C.
If they do, let them discard tho name they have
axclurivrly appropriated to ihem*elre«,and o**ume
one more characteristic ufthelr principle*. Wobe-
lieve that tliere are many too high minded to *u*uin
the “Heroof North Bend," men-ly because the
ro.Ues* ami ambltimu spirit* of the pary desire to
prostrate Van Bubkn,(pledged to stand by the Con
et itutional righu of tho South,) and.to mount into
office upon hi* ruins.
Why did not the “ ll'Aig«" of the Southern Stales
support Harrison in 1836 T If they had done so,
tliey might bare elected him ovrr Martin Van
Bukku. But nn, th y *cnmod ft ho nrra.-cd in his
support, and the " Wkigt" of Georgia ptvfencd to
throw away tho vota of llte State upon a "Jackson
Force Bill" Candidate,than be found upholding one
■o obnoxiour as was, in that day, William IIenrt
Harrison.
Whit, wo would a*k, ha* Harruon done since
183G to merit the sudden fowlitoisof a portion of
caiMlidatet, cannot long err in tlio dreirion they
shall mske—a decision not to lie nindtt hy a few
party pres**-*, mlsrepieseinlng often pubic opinion,
because tint timid ft speak tho sontlntriil* wldeh
reason dictate*, but hy llte gtent lanly of lla* |t.Htp!e.
n**enib!od at the |Mdl«, and dei-luring their feeling*
ilhrough llte Irghert cnn.titutiumd temetly for
measure* unconstitutional, or injnrioU* in tladr
character—the ballot box. If Georgian* give up
Van Buiikn for Haiiii!*on, they must export to
fall in a* llte despised allies of tho snp|Hirter* of
those measure*, inimical to llm interest* of the
South. But if they stund by llte northern mnn.
pledged to.iistalntheirdeare.t constitutional rigltrs,
they may cute not whether tlto torch i* applied f*
tl e fair fabric nf American liberty, by tlm nilafeile
liand o their form T enemy ul' M issur.huseiu, or by
the desperate arm of tho munom iniac of Vermont,
for the democracy of tlio north, allied in fettling, in
principle, and dn interest to tho democracy of the
South, will be prepared to arrest the hand of the
former, and bent down tlio arm of tlio latter.
But wo conclude.
We tuhj-.dn t!.o proceeding, of a meeting in

of rays, tiling from above tlieconpbsl pilasters, and
meeting nnnind u wreath of leaves, at llm npox of

has made the stmly of orcliiteclure llm omu-cment
of his leisure hour*, and who generously, ut th*

to supply all tho drawings nnd instructions neces

Tlm bnncmrnt story is designed for Sunday
Schools, but ha* been tho means of furnishing to tin-

of the building; and although a sucrifico of taste, in
the proper proportions of tlm building, and in nppo.
aitkm to tlm opinions of the nrchit-ct, its justifica

DESCRIPTION OF CHRIST CHURCH, SA
VANNAH.
The order of architecture adopted in this building
is that oftlm Grecian Ionic, of llm ago or Pericles.
Throughout tlm ext. rior, tlm examples follow ed oro
as far as llm mat. rial used would permit, thorn of
rim temple* of Minerva Polio*, and Errchtlwus o
the Acropolis nf Athens. In rite interior, the prof
portions of tlm temple of tho llissus have boon
adopted.
Tlm twufirsl temples stand unrivalled for the light
ness and grace of their columns, und the delicate
■logance of limit nmument*: and tlm Imtis much
celebrated for its clmste simplicity. 1 he three are
confessedly among the most beautiful Ionic sped
men*, that have come down to u*,of the exquisitely
refined ta-te of the Athenians.
Tho basement of the Chu-ch is finisltcdin imita
tion of massive blocks of stone, with d-ep channel*
between them. Iu height is eluveu feet; an clevn-
lion f-ir tlte pjr|Mi*o of obtaining a spacious apart
ment for a Sunday School and similar purposes.—
This object ha» born attained at n sacrifice »f the
due pioportions of the building, which in conse
quence of i's e«eul el.-vulion retpiircs to Im view,'
ut u dislnnce. A flight of seventeen stone steps, !m-
twvcn twotnassir*'piers, extends along the whole
western front, aud foim* tlm approach ton portico of
six column*, presenting a facade of GO feet in width
and 4D tw the top of tiro cntnblrftufv. ond w ith
depth of 17 f. ct. 'fid* portico occupies tho whole
oftlm western or principal front of ilia Church.—
The inlrreoluinniuti-ois ore enstylo, or two and
quarter dwnmters. Tho column* are plain, a* the
material used |'M eluded tin ir Iming (!• fed. 1
at,tie. cotro purding to the wilumn*, are |4ar>rd on
