In propiiialH their tutelary Deilie* to pour blessing*
upon ilmir head*, or atmttlm dreadful calamity
which coaaciouirrrurlad them locapect from divine

Tha fliglili of bird*, the oracular response* of
their supposed Deity were watched and listened to
with that engrossing anxiety, which betokened hu
man dependence upon a supreme living.
Blessed nut with a revelation from above, they
groped in ambiguous darknn*, while Iho suit of

A Jupiter thundered in tlteir ear* from Olympus,

Tho patriarch of old, bfatseit by alight nut ob*cur e
like that of tho Heathen, poured forth Id* praises to
hi* Maker from und "under hi* own vino and fig
tree, none daring to mike h'm afraid."
Tho blessed light of Revelation, dealing up tho
mitt* of centuries, and dispersing by its refulgence
the error* of the Heathen Philosopher*, at lungtli,
streamed upon a faith-enduring people, and like
the natural sun, pursued it* steady path, until na
tion* acknowledged tho tuprciuticy of it* inlluenra.
The *word of persecution, it is true, ha* in ifa

ligiou* Liberty. It* hill*, it* plain*, and it* valley*
urn luminous with tho glow which the pencil of n
religious light portray*, wliilo tho tall spires of tho
city or tho village point to the IL-avcn of lleuven*,
beyond tbu firmament of our vision,
If the Heathen c.in fool the inspiration ingratitude
for divine mercio* rendered, how much more doe*

Led not by a blind fanaticism, tho peoplo of ibis
country, imbued with knowledge, dispensed from

Tho press, looming with it* thousand* of volumos,

Tho Democratic State Rights men of Scriven
County, in view of the disastrous results of the late
Presidential contest—nil vo to the threatening aspect
or tho times, and deeply solicitous for the preserva
tion of the liberty nnd prosperity of tlteir country,
having mot at Jacksonbnto’ in a Primary Assembly
of the 'people, deem it incumbent on them ns they
value their freedom and die interest of thss South, to
sacrifico all former and locul differences end preju
dice* upon the uitar of thdir common country, and
thus in tho very fuco und (rent of a victorious ene
my, to plum iliemsclvi-s ujn-n dm outward ramparts
of tho Constitution to unfurl their binnur to the
bruece, and to band themselves together ns a party,
united on principle* which they fearlessly submit
" to tho public eye," and 10 ilia support und defenco
of which drey pledge themselves n* their fathers Jid,
against the encroachment of Uiid»h tyranny.—
They feel that decision, energy nnd action nro ueces.
•uiy to Withstand and drive back .tho npprunching
tide of Federalism, *wollen as it is by the nci umu-
11 ted forces of Abolition, And Masonry nnd the
Bank ; and they are resolved, that in this county ut
least, whatever mn> betide elsewhere, die parly
and their principles which elovuted tho two Ad-
anises, which cnaclud the Alien and Sedltiun Laws,
whioli opposed Thomas Jeflurson, and which has
again succeeded in theelecdoh of General Harrison,
ns tlteir standard bearer, shall And no resting or
ibiding place. In tire lute exciting cuniost, aidin'
extraordinary nnd unusual, measures wore resorted
to fur tho purpoao *.f seducing us from our ullegiance
to ptinciple; although money und the power'of
wealth wore with our opponents, and tho influenqo
of names, stntionand property were brought to bear
against us, wo uro proud .and thankful tlmt die
Almighty disposer of human cveuts enabled tho
•tern and simple Republicans of Scriven county,
lufying nl<ino.up-;n their unjicugiit .principles, to
wjihsiund all llio approaches, insl-liau* and direct,
of their ciafiy and deluded oppooofits.
Though othei a have shot mudly feom their
spheres'and forgot llutir.principles, in the advoou-
cy of a muu who lias proven himsolfbut too accept-
ulde to tliiisn who liuvo ever been nugnged in wa
ging wur against us nnd our interests, the county of
Scriven has stood Arm. "She is now whom sho
alwuy* has been and where sho over mean* to be,"
turning tier decisive and increasing majority against
any und every point where federalism may mako a
•land.
For the mass of our follow-cltitcns of Georgia,
who have been our late nppuuenls, wo yet entertain
the kindest feelings and tho most unshaken reliance
in dieir patriotism, looking forward with confidence
tu tho day, not far distant, whon tho anli-Soudiern
principles of Gyiu Harrison's administration will

our friends who siowd by u* and wlih us In oppotlng

triumphantly through the durk scones of the last
war, and which animated and gave rxi-tenco to our
action in opposilig the principles nnd election ol

But usidu from the prostration of principles which

1 he president’s message gives a fluttering ao
count oi tire growth of (he young republic, in popu
lation and resources. The harvest have been oban
dunt, and agriculture is extending itself in every
direction, promising rich rewinds to the toil of the
husband than, und giv-ngenrncxtuf the futuie impor
tunco nnd power of the republic.
The government, as well tltoprople, have expori
enced great embarrassments und unstuudiness of
their currency. The loan commissioners had not
yet boon able to efl'ect a sulc of bonds. One of them
war nt the Hague, for the double put pose of procur

The President deprecates a w nr with Mexiro, as
calculated still further to ombnriuss thecommissinn
or* lit negotiating a loan, and us involving the nail -n
in great distress, on account of its pecuniary diffi
cullie*; for which reasons he recommends a further
attempt to reconcile the mother country by'nego
tiation.
The commissioners to run tho hound try line be
tween Texas and tiie United Suites, had been com
pelled to suspond operations for want of means.
The President Itud kept the navy afloat because
ha had reason to believe thut Mexico was having
built in some foreign port, a stenm ship, nnd other
vessels of war, for tho purpose ofharrntsing the com
merce of Texas.
Genornl Hamilton, itiltls Ict'ors to the government
held.dot thu Itopo of ultimately securing «loan on
favorable terms.
The message recommends nn increnso in the du
ties upon importation. Tho currency in which tho
impnts qic now-paid being ala discount which re
duces the nominal duty of 15 per cent, to actually
less than 3 per ctmt. Tiie necessities of the govern

Tho mossago represent* the intercourse of tho
Republic with fereign nations, as in the same condi

Upon the whole, we gnther from thi*'document,
that the young republic i* rapidly growing in nil the
elements of power, wealth nnd influonc**; though she
is crippled, for the time, in her pecuniary resource*
and emburrased-in her foreign nnd mercantile

Singular Origin of anew sortof Potato.—
Maine Cultivator gives un uccnunt of a new kind of
potato, which is apparently a chance production of
nature, not spiingittg from seed or tubers, but grow
ing ns nn excresenee from another plant. Tho ori
gin of the potato now in general use, am) n mosiiin
portnttl addition to tiie food of man, is involved in.
doubt, hut that production is beliovrd tu havo been
originally an excresenee growing 'Upon n plant in
South America. Tho attention of scientific minds
to th>* new production might settle tha question.
The following is its histoty ms given in the paper re
fetred lot.
"Can any of our naturalist contemporaries inform
us whether the polo toe it an original tuber,or whe'tlt
er it is the production of a freak of nature T We
nre led to the fellowing inquiry from the following
fact, which is before us, and which we venture to
communicate to the public.
"Year before last,Mr. John Smiley,a farmer in tho
northern part of Augusta, noticed upon some of the
stalks (iftiie giiliflower, which the female members
of hi* family hud cultivated in a flower pot, some
protubeian cs or excreaicence* like warts about
the size of [tens. They appeared perfectly formed
and living siib<tnncot resembling the seed* that pro
joct from the stalk of that bulbous flower known as
tho tiger lily. Every body is acquainted with the
(illi-flowrr. as a very common annual plant resembl
ing the pink in size and flower. Curiosity fad him
to pt,e«erve these excrescences—tltey were not tiie
natural seeds—and plant them the fellowing *prieg.
One of his neighbors also tooka portion of them nnd
did tho same. Two or thee came up and attained
matuiity. Tho product was over half a peck of
gqod sized and very handsome potatoes! These
were preserved and planted tire last spring. They
grew vigorously, and the result was about threo
bushels of u new sort of real potatoes. The potato
i* nf ahlong form, smooth face, mostly white, mix
ed occasionally with purple. Mr. Hutchings of
thu Augusta House, has cooked some of them, and
proimunce* them superior. They may be a varity
worth cultivating. But the mystery in our mind
is, that they should have been the' product of tho
giiliflower. Was that the way potatoes first come?"
Sisters of Charity fa Rome.—In the hospital for
incurables in Rome.Su Camilius, in 1684, founded
his order, the members of which have lira spiritual

creditors of the South American Republics have
been somewhat pleased at the notification ofn moie
ty uf the last half yunr’s dividend on the Chilian
Loon, being now in this country, and ready for
payment in tho course ofo week or two. The In
stalment, lifter so many years waiting, is but paltry,
hut still it is an evidence t-fa de-ire tu do something,
end ns suchshnu'd not be too severely judged,' fer
fear the other republics, never slow to uvnil them
selves ot an exrusH-fitr delay, may allege their ina
bility to do much, and tfa-reford resolve to do noth
ing.' In accepting the omuiini offered, no compro
mise ismadn of present tights.
From the Times, Oct. 3\.
By the account* from L'verpot-I it * appears that
tiie restriction of discounts by the branch of tho
Bank of England in that place, acting on the orders
fr m home, Iras become extremely rigid; so mach
so that one oftho richest private banker* was re
futed dfaenunt fer bills hnving only n few dnys to
run. The joint stock banks in Manchester have
raised their rate to 6 per cent, nnd nre curtailing
accommodation nt much as possible. Hie private
bankers are more free in their loon*, but demand a
•till higher rn»e, 7 percent having been given on the
best bills, having three or four months to run, of
the merchant* and manufacturers, and endorsed by
the joint stock banks. This has proved, huwever,
a great relief, end the terms bove been readily «ub-
milted to, so essential is a supply at this time for
the autumnsl trndo. Among parties of a fewer
elat* nf credit the pressure ba*, of course, been very
severe, and as high as 10 or Ik per cent baa bean
given on bills that would be tanned good at any
other time, but not bearing a bankar’e endorsement.
A great number of thort bills hxvo bean sent up
by the joint ateefi bank lAthe London bill brokora
fi-r discount. Long Mllslbw i#fu»o to diaoownt
on Mcount of tbo (Aid Bank notice. Some bills
