Virginia Elections—.SVewn Jones & liotU, Correspondence of the New Haven, Conn. Register. Richmond, Va., April 241 h, 1843. Messrs. Editors : As many of your readers may never have attended at a Vir ginia Hustings, a custom different from any thing we have at the North, an account of one may be received with some interest. Last Saturday afternoon, the people of this district met about a mile and a half from this city, at a place called Bacon Quarter Branch; and there, upon a plat form, in the open air, seated bv a small ta ble, 1 found the two Congressional Candid, ates for this district, Mr. Jones and Mr. Fott-s, both ready to address the people. Around them are gathered some six or eight hundred individuals of both parties —some on horse-back, others cn blocks, benches, or anything they can find to put a foot upon. It is agreed between the parties, that each one shall first speak an hour and a half, and then close with another speech of half an hour in length. Mr. Jones, the Democratic candidate, first rises to address the meeting. In him we see a man about forty five years of age, plain in his persona! appearance, and with a countenance marked by deep thought and study he was formerly a Member of Con gress, and at the time, I think a Member ot the Committee of Ways and Means. He commences his speech by calling the atten tion of the audience to the present political aspect of the country —and increasing in energy, he enters into the discussion of the great political questions of the day, and with a h and 1 and fearless spirit he throws his whole hopes of success upon the issue. With them he is willing to sink or swim, to live or die. There is no tiickery, no dodg ing— but a plain open statement of facts. He calls upon his opponent to do the same to no longer cloak the issue before them, as they had unfortunately done, of hank or no bank, but to give to the people the mens, ores of each party, and let them decide. The great and unequal exactions of the tar iT—the distribution of the public lands, was discussed, with every other measure of the extra session of Congress, of which his opponent was so conspicuous a member; hut, like a horse over a race course, he is timed to the twentieth part of a minute, by the watches in almost every hand, and Mr. Botts, the Whig candidate, rises to take his place. I need not tell you who Mr. Bolts is; he is well known throughout this whole country : and whether his reputation is an enviable one, I will not pretend to say ; but I had expected in the renowned and cele brated champion of VVhiggery, the impeach er of the President, the Header of Cnpt. Tyler, a different man from the one before me. Could it be, that 1 saw in that man— bloated and sluttish in appearance about forty years of age, with a pitcher of brandy punch in one hand, and a glass in the other, the great Mr. Botts ? 1 rubbed my eyes, and looked, and rubbed and looked again, and turned to this one, and that; I enquired whether they were sure-that it was Mr. Botts? Yes, it was he; and oh, fancy, wliat a cheat ! But hush, l,e commences his speech. “1 tetl you, Jones (stop more punch more hard cider Boston and Fashion be fore me.) I say, Jones, you are a good looking fellow, but the people have not found it out yet. Stand up here, and let us look at you —a countenance as mild, as peaceable. Why man, you would not quarrel. No, no, Jones, interest, interest would keep you front it. But do y u ex pect this chap, and these ol I coons here to believe what you say ? You said I quar relled with men in power, and 1 will now tell vou why I did it, though I never told it before. About seven days after John Ty ler took the Presidential Char, 1 called on him. and from the conversation I had, 1 found that he intended, (as no one was then bound for the one term,) to use all his pow er and influence, during these four years, to build up a party of his own, and one that would make him President the next eight years. Says I, John Tyler —([ swore then) —by G—«J, if you expect to prosti lute this whole Whig party to your pur poses, you never did have, and never will have, a greater enemy than I am. Says he, Botts, don’t jump before you are spurred— this Cabinet is one of General Harrison’s, and I shall want one of my old friends, and where shall l look for them, but in m. own State. But I was not to be bribed, and it was then that I renounced him, and have ever since. Well, Jones, what do you think of that ? But you said we and and not make the United States Bank a political question during the lust Presidential Election —and you read our Whig Address with some old letters and speeches of General Harrison’s to prove it —but 1 will bet that the writer *>f the Address is a Loco now —and as for the speeches and letters, they prove nothing for you know, and I know, and even old coon here knows, that it was at issue, and is now the head and front of the great national Whig party. (But, more punch.) Jones, I have a bet on you. (So have I— so have I—responded several voices. And one crawling along up behind him, whis pered, ‘Butts, 1 say, Botts, don’t drink too much.’) A cs, I have n bet, that you do not answer this question : Which are you for. Van Buren or Calhoun ? (I will answer when my term comes to speak.) Answer tne now: 1 am for Harry of the the Mill boy of the slashes—shut tauand all.” But I will follow him no fartlnis- in his remarks. The same strain continues through his hour and a half. Mr. Jones then responds, and in a calm and mild way, attempts to draw his quixotic opponent into a discussion of the measuns of each party. But it was of no use Mr. Botts’ response was nothing but log cabin same old coon more punch M ill boy of the Slashes— nmal'hag hard cider —and, to close, he said he wool I quote from u Sermon of one of the Reverend Divines of this place. “ Now, my bearers, I leave it with you. You have it all before yon «lie straight and narrow way, and the broad road.” But his time is up, and each one tying up the bun dle of papers before him, descends the plat form, ready for the stump in the next town. How many mistakes arise through the confounding of words with things! thus poetry and verse, justice arid luw, ■jun! vice and pleasure, arc often conceived synonymous -terms. DOCT- WOT. GItESNL EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, MAY IT, I*l3. FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, . FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: LEVI WOODUIIIY, We mark the birth day of oar Journal, by unfurling to the breeze the broad banner of Democracy, and inscribing on its bright fiebl the stainless name of John C. Calhoun, the American Aristides, as our First dunce for President of the United States ; and for the Pice Presidency, the name of that urise, hones* ami able statesman ami unswerving patriot , Levi Woodbury, of Sew Hampshire subject of course to the decision of a National Democratic Convention the delegates to be chosen directly by the People,... to convene in Haiti more, May 13+1, and there individually express Faith fully the will of their constituents —we ask but a fair field and fair play ■■■ ami then “ God defentl the Right.” The Democratic National Convention. Tlie time intervening- between this and May, eighteen forty-four, is barely sufficient, for the peo- , pie coolly, quietly, and at their leisure to scrutinize the claims, capabilities and trust-w'orthincss of the various candidates. Delegates to the National Con vention, chosen from the districts, or other conven ient division of each State, and voting individually according to the will of their constituents, will un doubtedly afford a more genuine expression of the fishes, and will, and unbiassed choice of the people on the momentous subject, the election of a chief magistrate, than any other mode that can he devised. It affords also, fair play to all the candidates. We notice with deep regret and mortification, the at tempts that are making in certain quarters to frus irate this regular and truly republican course of ac_ tion, and substitute in its place the dictation of Leg islative caucuses, and cliques of demagogues and trading politicians. Notwithstanding the full irff pression of the charity and candor that should he exercised in judging of the acts and motives of oth er® — notwithstanding the good-will we cherish to wards some of the parties who prefer November 1843 as the time for the choice of delegates hy Legisla tive caucuses or some other irregular mode of action, we cannot escape the conviction that there is some sinister motive for the attempt: that it is intended to give undue and unfair advantage to one of the candidates, and defraud the people of one of their most important rights. Is it acting in good faith to the Democratic party, to confuse tiie judgment and hurry the action of the people on a subject so vital to the safety and prosperity of the whole Union, as the next Presidency l What tremendous responsi bility are they incurring, what unutterable reproba tion do they deserve, w ho have flung the apples of dis cord into the democratic ranks, for the purpose of hoisting into the Presidential chair a pet candidate, who, from evidence strong as the noon day sun, is not tlie choice of the people ? Have the members of the democratic party, who are engaged in this suicidal enterprize, reflected well on the formidable array of the powers of dark ness, that will be marshalled against the Democracy in the next Presidential contest 1 Let us sec —there is Mr. Clay, (with an able and powerful press,) and a numerous and formidable band of political partisans, to whom, in his recent speech, he tendered the bribe of all the cilices in the gift of the general govern ment, as a rewaid for their successful exertions in his favor —the Tariffitcs —the United States Bank party, a strong party in each of the deeply indebted States * — that, with tlie preceding, constitute so largo a portion of tlie Clay Whigs. Upon the Democrat, who with these undeniable facts before him, who, to promote the interest of Mr. Van Burcn, or of any other man, will sow the seeds of dissention, and distrust amidst his party, thus pro ducing weakness and liability to defeat and conse quent measureless calamity, upon such men be shame, nnd the anathema of that country now and for ever. • sj"\\e desire to rail the attention of our readers to the very able letter of “ An Old Union Man” taken from the Augusta Constitutionalist, wiiich will he found on the last page of this day’s paper. We ask for it the candid and attentive perusal of all.— 1 he grounds taken in this letter are fair and manly; its maxims are those of a high-minded pitriot and geutleman. Mliy we support Mr. Calhoun’s claims. We prefer Mr. Calhoun, not from any personal or sectional attachment, but from the conviction that he is the strongest and most available candidate, the Democratic party can bring into the field we pre lcr him, becauso he is not the candidate of a section, or of cliques, interests, spoil hunters, stock brokers, domestic or foreign, but the candidate and statesman of the wholo American people again, we prefer him because, from ,his youth up, he has been characterized by the exemplary ful. filment of every social and domestic duty— that he lias been, and is emphatically the poor man’s friend that be has employed his leisure, not as a strolling’ mountebank, puffing himself ami dispens ing political poisons; but in those studies and pur suits that purify and elevate man’s nature, form the wise and consummate practical statesmen, and which have enabled him (J. O. Calhoun,) to become the unconquerable defender of the rights, liberties and interests of his countrymen, and the ablest living expounder of their institutions. Finally, wo prefer Mr. Calhoun, because from the extraordinary dearness, depth and vigor of his in tellect, the extent of his attainments as a practical statesman, his indefatigable industry, incorruptible honesty, uncompromising devotion to principle, and indomitable firmness, ho is of all our public men, best qualified to detect and remedy the disorders into which the various branches of our government have lapsed or been precipitated by selfishness, ig norance and corruption, and to secure peace, and to restore the union and prosperity of his countrymen. It must not be inferred from the justice we have attempted to render Mr. Calhoun, that we are insen sible to, or forgetful of the exalted merits of numer ous individuals, who, in the soul trying period of 1840 and 41, 42, either as speakers or writers, battled gloriously for their country. They have deserved its enduring gratitude and admiration—they have ours, and the uuhought homage of our hearts. The Comet. The strange and extraordinary visitant from the remote regions of creation, that during the months of February and March attracted so much observa tion to the western quarters of the heavens, and ex cited so much discussion and contrariety of opinion respecting its real character, turns out after all, to be a genuine comet, and by no means ao entirely a stranger as was for some time supposed. From its velocity, and die figure, dimensions and direction of its orbit, calculated with unquestionable exactness by astronomers, both in this couutry and Europe, it is ascertained to he die same which Cassini observed in 1068. (175 years ago.) The actual nature of these eccentric lumitiaiies, whether solid, gaseous, igneous or electric, or ag gregate of light, calorie and electricity—whether their office he to repair the loss the sun is supposed «i sustain by the constant emission of its rays to pleaerw. dm equilibrium of die i the rial fluids above intoned, or for that | tuples, are (till among the hidden things that mock the sagacity of man and set at naught even the stupendous pow ers of modem science. But w hatever may be their nature, they seem to exercise some inscrutible influence over ourglobe, and their presence has at all times been viewed by the multitude with apprehension. In truth it lias often been eitiier as a cause or a coincidence,accom panied hy extraordinary disturbances of the earth, the ocean, the atmosphere and the seasons. The comet of the present year has lost none of the had reputation of its class. In England and the neighboring countries, spring seems to have been changed into premature summer, while with us it has passed into a winter of almos t unexampled severity. The earthquakes that have shaken, tlie tempests, the floods, the hurricanes which have swept over the northern hemisphere du ring the last few months, have been attended with loss of life, a waste of property and a destruction of human happiness absolutely horrifying. Indeed an imaginative spirit might be pardoned for the mo mentary belief that comets are tlie angels of retribu tive justice, occasionally visiting to warn and to pun ish a world groveling in sensuality and selfishness, and filled with violence to remind presumptuous man, that there’s a power above him—a power, be fore whose displeasure the proud, infatuated crea ture becomes helplessly imbecile as the most insig nificant insect in the flame of Etna or Vesuvius. We have copied for this week’s impression, from tlie Messenger and Telegraph, the Sheriff’s Sales, of this and some of the surrounding counties, of which we shall in future, publish an abstract for the con venience of out friends. How Folks get along. We were nevermore impressed with the truth of the remark, that one half of the world know not how the other half live, than while reading the following from that excellent journal the New Haven Register. A fellow, who without any visible means of income ■ jemed to live comfortably, being asked how he supported himself, replied, with much self-compla cency, “I am careful to be present at all rows and riots that happen in town, and on the trial contrive to be called forward as a witness, and find the busi ness a profitable one.” Don’t gentle reader, visit this poor loafer with any severity of censure, lie is an honest matt and a patriot, compared with the American System men, who to satisfy the raven ings of their ambition, or the greediness of their av arice are jeopardizing the Liberties, Union and Hap piness of the American people. COMMUNICATED. Pursuant to previous notice, a large and respecta ble Meeting of the Democra.ic Party of tlie city of Macon, and county of Bibb, convened at the Court House in this city, on Monday, the Ist inst. Major James Dean, was called to the Chair, and Col. John G. Coleman appointed Secretary. After the meet ing wa3 organized, Marcus Johnston, Esq , briefly and appropriately explained the object of the same, and concluded his remarks, by offering the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. On motion of Col. Lamar, the Chair appointed a Committee of six, to select suitable Delegates to represent this county in the Democratic State Con vention, to he held in Milledgeville, in June, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor. Under the foregoing resolutions, the Chair ap pointed Marcus Johnston, Joshua G. Moore, Doct. J. M. Green, Frederick Sims, Samuel B. Hunter, and C. A. Ells, who, after retiring a short time, re turned and reported the names of the following gen tlemen as Delegates to the Convention; Samuel J. Ray, M. Johnston, Stephen Woodard, and Col. H. G. Lamar. Whereas, by a Resolution of the Democratic par ty, at Milledgeville, during the last Session of the General Assembly, a Convention of the party was called on to meet at the Seat of Government, on the first Monday in June, to select a suitable candidate forjhe office of Governor. And assembling, as we do on the present occasion, to choose Delegates to represent us in that Conven tion, a few suggestions for the consideration of the parly, may not he out of place. Tlie selections of the present year, although not immediately affecting the great National questions at issue in this country, must operate upon them indi rectly in the most powerful manner inasmuch as any success obtained now, will exhilarate and quick en the energies of the successful party, and the election of the next year, on which depends the de cisions of those momentous questions of govern ment policy. It is therefore of vital importance, that we should he on the alert, and not suffer the opponents of our principles to acquire strength, through any apathy or indifference on our part. After the errors into which the country was led bv an unexampled system of political profligacy in 1840, came “ the sober second thought,” and with it came the triumph of our cause. To continue and mako permanent that triumph, it is for us to be true to the principles laid down in the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention; to suffer no difference of opinion about men to influence our devotion to principles, and last, but not least, to arouse ourselves from that sense of security which prosperity is apt to induce, and which is so paraly zing to exertion. A bare recital of the practice of our opponents af ter being “dressed in a little brief authority,” would seem sufficient. They have burdened the country with a National Debt, of 830,000,000, by their mismanagement and prodigality. By onerous duties on imports, they have greatly diminished the public revenues, thereby embarras sing the operations of the (government, and crip pling our commerce. It is notorious, that our ships are returning daily from foreign ports, laden with ballast, instead of merchandize, from which the government ought to realize a sufficient revenue, and individuals their just profits of trade. They have passed a retro-active Bankrupt Law, and suffered it to exist only so long as the million aries of land and cotton speculation could avail them selves of an exemption from the payment of just debts. They have divided the proceeds of the public lands to the detriment of the finances of the coun try, in the hope of making the States tributaries and dependents of the Federal Government, and them selves. They have refused to refund the sum which a veteran patriot, while defending New Orleans, against the armies of England, was unjustly fined by a corrupt Judge, whilo at the same time, they listened with fraternal rr card to the claims of the traitor Hull asking pay for treason. But it is useless to recite more from “ the black lettered list” of their offences, and it would seem art easy task for correct principles to triumph over the authors of such measures. Ihe triumph will be an easy one, hut we must not forget that “villauy that is vigilant, is frequently an over match for virtue if she shtmher at her post.” Resolved, That our Delegates to the Convention, he left entirely free to exercise tlwir own judgment in choosing from the number of names presented, an individual worthy of the atiffrages of the parly for office of Governor. Ji<»,R ed, That the choice pf ilia Convention, if it accotd entirely with our personal preferences or not, will meet with our cordial support, and duly impres sed, with a sense of the important influence to be exerted on the Presidential Election of next year; we will spare no honorable means to promote it. Resolved, That while we believe it to be Repub lican and Democratic to support the nominee of a properly selected, and honestly, and fairly organized National Convention, convened at the usual time, and that while we give our cordial support to die nominee of such Convention, we cannot submit to the caucus dictation of irresponsible cabala from any par of the Union, and that we will look with distrust upon any attempted changes in the time and organi zation of said Convention, for the especial benefit of any particular candidate, as contravening the will of tlie Democratic party of the Country, and jeopardiz ing thereby the success of the same in the approach ing contest. Resolved, That while we alone be guided by the principles which we advocate in the selection for our support of a candidate for the Presidential Chair of 1844, our preferences first point to that well-tried and eminent statesman and patriot, John C. Calhoun, of S. C., entertaining the highest sense of his integ rity, approving his firmness and directness of pur pose— his energy and efficiency his unflinching adherence to the principles of the Democratic Re publican School, displayed throughout a life of long and eventful public service, we do hereby recom mend him to our Democratic brethren throughout the State, as the candidate of their first choice, for the Presidency of the United States. On motion of Col. A. P. Powers, That the Dele gates appointed, have power to fill any vacancy that may occur among them —and that these proceed ings be published in the Georgia Telegraph —signed by the Chairman and Secretary. JAMES DEAN, Chairman. JOHN G. COLEMAN, Secretary. Fire in Columbia, S. C. 'Ye arc indebted for an early notice of this calam ity, to an extra, forwarded by the attentive courtesy of the South Carolinian ; dated 9th inst. The loss of property and consequent distress are considerable. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, and adds another item to the al ready appalling catalogue of similar disasters, which have recently devastated several of our Southern cities, not improbably from a like origin. These facts should excite to increased vigilance. Caution never suggested a more valuable precept than valch. We learn with regret, that Professor Twiss of S. C. College, and two other gentlemen, engaged in the heroic duty of arresting the flames, were more or less injured, the first seriously, the latter two less severely.

We reported the Cotton market in our review of last Wednesday morning as having closed wuh a good de mand on the evening previous, and firm at an advance ol a quarter of a cent in prices, the result, as we then stated, of the rather favorable character of the Europe an advices of the 4th of April, per steamer Britannia On Wednesday, whether owing to the same cause above referred to, operating alike on European and Northern buyers, or whether it was merely one of those impulsive movements that not unfrequentiy, during he season, give, for tlie moment, an unusual degree ot animation to tlie market, and which ofien spring from mixed, and sometimes very opposite influences’, we are unable to say. but be the causes what they may, the effect has been to produce a very sensible improve ment in the demand, (the sales having reached to about 9000 bales) and also in prices, which went up fully a j of a cent in the course of the day. Since Thursday morning the market has maintained a more quiet ap pearance,?and the sales have only averaged about 2300 bales per day, but a good demand has continued to prevail, however, and the want of activity may more properly be attributed to the small supply on sale, and to the rather elevated views ol holders, than to any oth treause. Perhaps the largest portion of the business /las been as usual on English account, but there have also oeen considerable purchases for the North of Eu rope and other parts of the Continent, and likewise hr Mexico. The demand has embraced all descriptions ol Cotton, though it has been most active tor “ good Middling” and “Middling Fair,” and these qualities, therefore, have been benefnted hy the advance to a ra ther greater extent than the other grades We have made the necessary alterations in quotations.
