AaiCHS? J. cilViY WAVSH < WEDNESDAY. JUNE 21, 18-13. FOR PRESIDENT OF THE EXITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: LEVI WOODBURY, FOR GOVERNOR, MARK A. COOPER, OF MURRAY. FOR CONGRESS, JAMES 11. STARK, OF BUTTS. We marked the birth-day of our Journal, by unfurling to the breeze the broad banner of Democracy, and inscribing upon its bright field the stainless name of John C. Calhoun, I the American Aristides, as our First [ Choice for President of the United 'States', and for the Vice Presidency, the name of that wise, honest and able Statesman and unswerving Patriot, Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire'. Subject, of course, to the decision of a Na tional Democratic Convention: 'Die Delegates to be chosen directly by the People —to convene at Balti more, May, 1844, and there individu ally express Faithfully, the will of their Constituents. We ask but a fair held and fair play—and then “ God defend the Right." General Jackson as he formerly war and as he n :»w is. What a startling’ contract, what a spectacle is here presented, compared with what Jackson once was the haughty, self-willed, and to those he lilted not, an overbearing man —in all cases of thwarting, or resistance, preferring force to discussion, for accom plishing his purpose the lofty, thief magistrate of a mighty people, before whom, adversaries quailed and opposition withered the stern impetuous war rior, whose delights had been, “The cannon’s roar, the trumpet's clang, The rapture of the drift, The whirl-wind, shout of victory To him, the breath of life.” lie who had with blazing eye and distended nos tril, rushed to the reeling shock of contending ar mies, with the fierce-exultation of the battle-trained war steed. Now, oh how changed, pale, emaciated, fi cb'e, gentle, helpless almost as infancy, and hum ble, js Piety, bending in the presence of Omnipo tence stands the chief in his hall, his tall, wasted, bowed form, leaning on the staff indispensable to support his steps, on the verge of that last resting place appointed for all living. Verily, Marius in ex ile, i,dining on the ruins of Carthage, presented not a scene more affecting and admonitory. The mysterious principle of association here brings fresh and bright upon our memory, the following long I rrgottcri lines of Collins they are intrinsical ly so >cautiful and so apposite to the occasion, we are confident our readers will thank us for the inser tion. I. llow sleep the brave, who sink to rest l!y all their country’s wishes blest, When Spring returns with fingers cold, To deck with flowers their hallow’d mould, She then shall deck a sweeter sod, Titan Fancy’s feet have t ver trod. it. By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung, There, honor cotncs, a pilgrim gray To bless the turf that wraps their clay, And Freedom shall awhile repair To dwell a weeping mourner there. It glad ens our heart to learn from some of the ex- Presjdctu’s neighbors, that since his return to the Hcrm tage, his life has in all its aspects been that of an exemplary Christian —and from his friends, that for many years before, he had been much more un der tbj influence of religious feelings, than the hosts o’ libellers and malignant slanderers that as sailed 1 ini, permitted the world to believe. Indeed, Jackson’s -pirit seems, like that of Nelson’s, to have been natu ally devotional, notwithstanding fearful out-breakings on the part of both, of an opposite char acter. Those ticrocs had another point of rcsein bhnee —both were mild with the mild, but with the froward fie rcc as fire. The faults of this eminent man, whose fame occu pies so conspicuous a place in the record of our country’s glory, sprung from his temperament and its unchecked Impulses kept, in constant activity by the rough and strongly marked character of the people, among who n, he passed many years of his life his virtues, 1 is estimable and amiable qualities, were the growth of his heart. His nobleness, his generos ity and candor when unruffled, his fervent, undecay ing affcctio” for his friends and devoted love of hU country, still warm with umliminishcd energy the bosom of the aged hero. Is it not true, that “Even in our ashes live their wonted fires?" And these, with seemingly unimpaired intelligence, that divine essence, w[rich survives the “wreck of matter and the crush of worlds” is nearly all now left of the man, who filled, as it was often said, “the measure of his country's glory.” From a retrospect of the political, commercial and financial concerns of the United States during the Presidency of Jackson, and the light, which time and events since his retirement, have thrown on these subjects we have been compelled to the con clusion, that he possessed far sighted political sa gacity and the attributes of a great statesman, in a much higher degree than has usually been conceded to him —and that some of the measures deemed his greatest mistakes, have been the grasping of a pow erful mind principle, going to effect a great aid enduring good, at the expense of a com paratively small and temporary evil. The primary and essential ob jects aimed at by President Jackson during his administration, were the complete dis charge of the Na.ional Debt, the restoration of the Constitutional metallic currency, and the utter sepa ration of the government from banks the adoption of these measures, with the adjuncts stated in our mottoes, are now known as absolutely indispensable, to avert the dismemberment of the Unton —to re store the country to its prosperity, and the govern ment to its hcalh dignity and constitutional action. We have, we believe on some by-gone occasions, done the subject ~f these hasty remarks and reflec tions injustice, misled by the false lights surround ing us. We are ?r iteful to the editor of the Globe, that the inlerest'ng and affecting narrative of his visit to the Hermitage, recalled the wrong we had done to our recollection, and afforded an appropriate ness to this expression of our regrets. The errors of the illustrious man we have been speaking of, were neither few nor trivial—the ser vices lie rendered hit country (as far as this world is concerned,) more ti n amply atoned for them. Up on their record in that book by which all shall be judged, we trust confidingly, the dews of Mercy have abundantly fallen and washed it out f r ever that the spirits of hope, peace and consolation, have long been the companions of his pillow, and that, w hen the fiat “ Man appear before thy God” shall be issued for him, they will sustain and cheer him through the dark vale and shadow of death, and guide him to those blessed regions, where the wick ed cease from troubling, the weary are at rest, and sin and sorrow known no more. When the knell of the hero of New Orleans shall be sounded, there will be mourning over the land, “for a great man has fallen in Israel.” “ Bibb” in the last Messenger. From the able and conclusive refutation of the ar ticle above mentioned, presented by*our correspond ent over the signature of “Hampden,” we might well pass it by without further notice. The gratui tous and courteous allusion to ourselves, has excited no emotion self-respect prevents our replying to that portion of Bibb’s communication. Indeed, its multiplied self-contradictions and absurdities, would, to those who have taken pains to inform themselves on the affairs treated of by him, defeat the mischief he contemplates. We ar? truly sorry to notice that personal and partisan rancour, arc the predominant features of his communication. Upon his misrepresentations and erroneous state ments, (we use not the epithet, more exactly de scriptive of their character,) respecting the objects of the Democratic party in this State, the American Democrat and its editor, we will not dwell. Habit is second nature, and so, probably he could not help it. Os the honest, intelligent, and disinterested Whigs, among our fellow citizens, (and tin l re are many such,) wc respectfully ask the favor, that they will consult Niles’ Register, under the head, Proceedings in Congress, at the dates & on the occasions, pointed out by “ Bibb,” or they may find an equally authentic, and unquestionable statement of Mr. Calhoun’s con duct and motives in the matters charged against him, in the late biography of that gentleman published by the Messrs. Harpers, which is for sale at both our Book-stores, and at most others in the State price, 12 1-2 cents. We entreat every honest man of both parties to give it a perusal. They will then see what a shameful delusion “ Bibb" and sucli persons as lie is, have sought to impose upon them. The writer seems desirous of making the impres sion, that the Democrat flung the Calhoun banner abroad, to obtain popularity for the paper and the party, in this State —and then asserts, that Calhoun has no popularity at all any u’here in Georgia no, nor even in Carolina —and this he does, with the glaring facts before him, that in the late Convention, in South Carolina, the vote in his favor was unani mous, and in that of Georgia, two to one. The writer of “ Bibb,” must certainly be rabid, and we caution those about him to be on their guard, as the dog-days arc approaching—but perhaps it is only his accumulated venom, which, like that of the rattle-snake at a certain season of the year, blinds him. Another point that “Bibb” labors with infinite zeal and absurdity, is to show, that Mr. Calhoun was equally wills Mr. Clay, ajbunder of the American System. Well, this is a bright idea could it be made out, it would ruin Calhoun with the Democrats, but be a passport to the favor and confidence of every genuine Whig, thus deprive Mr. Clay not only of the support of the Southern Whigs, but of many in the other States. Call you this hacking your friends master “ Bibb?” Mr. Clay desires no such hackers. That gentleman has often, and with reason, ex claimed in reference to the Whigs, "Save me from my friends." We now ask in the spirit of candor and courtesy, whether the course pursued by “Bibb” and other writers and talkers of his stamp, of “ reviling” Mr. Calhoun and the journals favorable to him, have any tendency to advance the interest, increase the strength of the Whig party, or brighten the prospects of Mr. Clay! The reply will doubtless he in the negative, and accompanied by the remark, that if “Bibb” be a citizen of the South, his conduct is subversive of her dearest interests. We are sorry that a writer who has been so excru ciatingly severe upon the poor Democrats, and their prospects at the next election, should have soiled (by his using it,) the honored name of Bibb. There were such marked distinct varieties, between Dr. George Bibb, after whom this county was called, and the writer over his signature, as should have deterred that person from assuming it. Dr. Bibb, was one of the purest and strictest Constitutional democrats, we were acquainted with, and in every aspect of his conduct, character and deportment, a gentleman. He was a distinguished member of that distinguished republican phalanx, Georgia, in her better days, used to send to Congress. Dr. Bibb was a favorite with the patriarch of Constitutional Democracy, Thomas Jefferson, and a faithful supporter of that good man’s principles and administration. The .V a disunitin'* refutation of the calum nies of John M. Botts upon the President. We take pleasure in directing our readers’ atten tion to this able and conclusive document from the “Madisonian,” published on the first page of this day’s paper. It will doubtless he a matter of regret to every candid man who reads it---that he ever al lowed the statements of Mr. Botts, to make the slight est impression on his mind prejudicial to President Tyler. Before reading these t aper-, wc thought it almost impossible that a Representative from the “Old Do minion,” a countryman of the distinguished men of that great commonwealth, whose names have shed a halo of light and glory upon their country and the age could become so utterly lost to his own self respect, and the common proprieties that should mark the conduct and opinions of every gentleman in public as well as in private life. The time has been in that State, when the man who would thus shamelessly violate tho integrity of private associations, would forfeit the respect of ev ery high minded gentleman, and be thrown like a viper from the bosom of society. The insane fury with which Mr. Botts has contin ued to assail the President for the last two years, is almost lunatic, and upon any other supposition than that lie is laboring under some groat mental aberra tion, it would be difficult to account for it. We hope for the honor of “Old Virginia,” and for the sake of the gentleman himself, that this may be true, if not, so far as Mr. Botts is a specimen, “Rome has lost her breed of noble son3.” Mr. Van Buren. Previously tocxprcssitig an opinion of the chances that gentleman’s claims have of being entertained or declined, by the National Democratic Convention, wc submit a few general remarks, bearing on the vi tally important subjects, by conventions, nomina tions, and elections, among a free people. We fear it is too often the case, that delegates to conventions, and our fellow-citizens at the polls, consider them selves merely as judges between the competing candidates this is a partial view of their duties. Every citizen in such cases, should view himself as a member of the Grand Inquest of his country, ap pointed to determine the people and the applicants for their favors, and he should feel as he casts his vote, that he is under the most solemn, the most sa cred obligations to bestow it only on the man, who, after due and conscientious examination he believes to have tlie greatest capabilities, and the most inflex ible determination to preserve the Liberties, the Constitution, and the Union of this country, and whose measures go most certainly and directly to se cure its truest and must permanent prosperity and happiness. As far as the treatment of candidates during a can vas is concerned the rule prescribed by justice and candor, is, let their friends advance all that truth and/uctsanctions in their favor; of tlieir opponents, nothing that is aspersive or depreciating. At the same time, if a candidate labor under any disability, through which the common weal may suffer loss or he endangered, it is the imperative duty of every good citizen to point it out, and every conscientious editor to place it before the people. But this duty should be performed with all tenderness to the feel ings of'he parties concerned, and under the full in fluence of that master maxim for the regulation of human conduct. “Do to others, as ye would they should do unto you.” If these conclusions are cor rect and obligatory on all, they are more imperatively soon editors they should observe strictly—nothing extenuate (where the public good is implicated) nor on any occasion, set down aught in malice. As far as Martin Van Buren’s claims are concerned, wc have much good to say, and a few objections to urge the latter duty shall be performed with all the re spect and gratitude due to his eminent services to his country, and the kindness we cherish towards him as an able and generally consistent Democrat. He is our second choice, and if nominated by the Convention, shall receive to the measure of our hum ble abilities, a support as zealous and unwavering, as in his last contest. As we deem the subject one of no ordinary im portance, we shall resume it in our next number. Democratic Conveuliotl. The deliberations of the late Convention at Mil ledgcville have been received with as much unan imity and as little dissatisfaction as the labors of such bodies usually are. A large majority of the party have greeted them with a ready and cheerful “ well done any slight feeling of disappointment which may have been entertained by the friends of the va rious gentlemen whose claims were before the Con vention, will have been merged long ere the elec tion, into the strongest enthusiasm for the success of all the nominees as worthy and able champions and defenders of our most cherished political principles. Conventions, like all other human contrivances, al though they have the great advantage of collating public sentiment and of ascertaining the opinions of the majority of the parly upon any particular subject, have sometimes their attendant evils. Wc believe, however, that few Conventions connected with our party history have higher claims to the confidence and respect of the Democracy of Georgia,for obtain ing as many of tho advantages, with as few of the evils as possible. We presume that no one who is conversant with the fact3, will doubt, that the Presi dential nomination in the Convention, wa3 a fair and honest expression of the will of a large majority of the Democratic, party in the State. And the same is true of our nominations for the Gubernatorial chair, «■ the vacancy in our Congressional delegation, cd by the resignation of Major Cooper. That A. COOPER will receive the enthusiastic support of the Democracy of Georgia, wc have not a doubt. They have tried him more than once and have found him not wanting in any thing that consti tutes a faithful public servant. In public life they have found him able and honest, as he was fearless and independent. In private as pure as he was un suspected. Making the Democratic Republican code of’93, his guiding star, he has followed it through life with undeviating and unwavering fidelity. Whether culminating in the zenith of triumph, or sinking fra time behind the murky clouds of ignor ance and error. Though his friends claim for him no martial re nown, no extended military services, no bloody bat tles fought and won, we have little doubt that many of his associates in the Florida campaign will remember the good qualities ho developed on that occasion. Wc have heard some of them say so. JAMES H. STARK. The Democracy of Middle Georgia—(lie tenth legion of the Republican party in (his State, and the good men and true of Butts, Pike, Campbell and Fayette, indeed the whole Coweta country,who have, amid every change, been constant and enduring in their attachment to their democratic faith ; the men who neither blenched nor bowed before the political storm which prostrated,though but for a time,ourpolit ical ascendancy in other sections, in 1840, must feel a more than common interest in the success of this gallant champion of their principles. Possessing- a strong and practical mind, the loftiest sense of honor, and the most ardent attachment to repul.lican prin ciples, qualities that command our admiration and respect, wc cannot permit ourselves to indulge a doubt, that his strong claims v ill be remembered, not only by his own immediate constituency, but that a hearty and enthusiastic support will be yielded him by the whole party from the ccntie to the cir cumference of Democratic Georgia. Wc will be more than mistaken if 1843 does not show us Mark A. Cocpcrduly installed into the Ex ecutive office, and James H. Stark elected to Con gress. In this connexion we will state that there was one objection to Major Cooper’s nomination, and only one —that was, many, while disliking to create a va cancy in Congress, wished to retain his able and pa triotic services in that situation. Death by Drowning, We regret to state that a young gentleman, by th e name of Stockton, came to a melancholy and premature death, last evening. While in the river bathing, eleven miles below town, he was seized with the cramp and sank. Rattle of Ranker’s Hill, 17th June, 1775, This glorious event, one of the mightiest in the tide of time, when considered in its relations to the freedom of this country, and the progress of liberty over the whole world, was celebrated in this plare by the firing of camion, and by a full turn out and brilliant parade of the Macon Volunteers. (COMMUNICATE!). ] Mr. Editor: —l noticed iu the last number of the Messenger, a communication over the signature of “ Bibb,” as little distinguished by that courtesy which should characterize a liberal opponent, as it is distinguished by an absence of fairness and candor. It is as difficult to form a just opinion of the author ship of this remarkable production , as to account for the malignant hatred evinced by this individual to wards those who are so unfortunate n to be in polit ical opposition to him, unless we ascribe it to some wandering and restless demagogue who seeks to re venge upon his opponents the just rebuke that impu dent ignorance, has received from an indignant peo ple. Nothing is more appareut in this labored tirade, than the just and well grounded fear that lie enter tains, of Mr. Calhoun’s vast and rapidly increasing popularity, although he endeavors to conceal it by a cloud of contradictory assertions, and a formidable display cf dates. If “ Bibb" and the Whig party can elect Mr. Clay with sinh triumphant case as lie says, and they seem to think, it is Drought to be a matter of perfect indif ference to them, who the Democratic party nomi nates ; but it is not true : they believe that they can readily beat Mr. Van Buren, but they know that Mr. Calhoun can concentrate the entire Democratic party, who, with the assistance of thousands of State Rights Whigs, will give “Old Harry of the West” a renewed term on bis leave of absence to the shades of Ashland ; otherwise it is difficult to account for this impel tiiient attempt at interference in a matter which concerns so little, cither “Bibb" or the Whig party. As far as I know, sir, the Democratic parly arc per fectly satisfied that the Whigs shall run whom they choose for the Presidency ; we believe that they have pretty well settled down upon Mr. Clav, though we do not pretend to dictate to them. We pay just tribute to his great abilities and splendid eloquence, although we honestly differ with him upon political principles. “Bibb” makes some curious admissions among the most remarkable, is that the Whigs ! yes bloody minded Whigs, arc in the dangerous habit of going to Democratic meetings to mak or swell Calhoun majorities. Are not “Bibb” and others, afraid that these same Whigs will carry their good feelings a little farther and sw ell his majorities at the ballot box. Is it not so? To all such Whigs whether iu Georgia or New York we say come on. In several places iu this contradictory article it is stated with much acrimony that Mr. Calhoun has no strength anywhere, and again that the Democratic party,by “presenting the name of Calhoun in contrast with that of Clay, and raising the cry of “Free Trade” against “Tariff,” seek to regain tho power which their vile management has lost to them ” Which statement does “Bibb” wish the public to be lieve. In the midst of a vindictive and virulent attack upon Col. Samuel Young of New York, “Bibb” in forms us that he was about to laugh at the Editor of the American Democrat. It is to be regretted that he did not succeed in this laudable design; but I am afraid that ho only “ grinned horribly, a ghastly smile,” as no man who is under the influence of such had feelings can enjoy a good lieatty laugh. It is a well known fact that Col. Samuel Young presented an able and conclusive report, in which he proved that a large portion of the immense public debt of New York, had been accumulated iu direct violation of the Constitution, and was consequently invalid, —but that he ever advised the State not to pay it, we arc inclined to"think, can only be found in the records of such veracious chroniclers aa the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer, Baron Munchausen and “Bibb.” “Bibb” has found a “Mare’s Nest,” for which he will no doubt receive the usual premium which is awarded to such discoveries. Although he docs not exactly savthat Mr. Calhoun is unpopular in South Caholina, he leaves us to infer it. This is on a par with many other of this writers assertions. “Bibb” seems to be more intimately familiar with the movements of the Democratic party in Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina and Ala bama, than the Democrats themselves. It will re quire something more than “Bibb’s” hare assertion to make the public or ourselves believe that his dicta upon this subject, is “confirmation strong as proof of holy writ.” “Bibb” gratifies himself with a furious set to of “revilings,” upon P. A. Brownson and Isaac Hill. We have not heard whether these gentlemen were annihilated or not, but shall anxiously look out for intelligence from Massachusetts and New Hamp shire. He does not seem to entertain the most friendly feelings towards the “Federal Union.” Perhaps he has substantial reasons for it. And now for (he “dates and documents"’ which "Bibb” has scraped together, in such antithetical profusion, and parades with such apparent sclf-gratu lation. Speaking of Mr. Calhoun he says: “In 1526 the god-father of a protective tariff—in 1932, the advocate of Nullification to overthrow it.” Now what arc the facts ? In 1826, Mr. Calhoun, with almost the whole South ern representation voted for the bill for the collection of revenue which was a great reduction from the war tariff, and was justly and honestly framed in such a manner as to allow the manufacturers gradually to withdraw the capital which they had invested during the existence of the Non-Importation Act. In 1832, wc proudly avow that he was in favor of nullifying the grinding “Protective Tariff” of 1529, which was prostrating the agricultural interests of the South. Between ’l6 and ’32 the tariff had been modified twice, and each time the odious principle of protec tion was increased until it reached its maximum iu the “hill of abominations.” Those who consider Nullification an error, ac knowledge that Mr. Calhoun was actuated by a patri otic devotion to the interests of the South. “ Bibb” says: “In 1933, the supporter of the compromise act—in 1841 the violent opponent of it.” Now what arc the facts? In 1833 when Mr. Clay and the manufacturers were forced reluctantly to release their unholy grasp upon the vital interests of the South, & in the Compromise Bill go re up the principle of protection, Mr. Calhoun voted for the bill which gave them six years to direct their capital into other channels, and bring the tariff down to a revenue standard. In 1941 after the expi ration of the act Mr. Calhoun did oppose its renewal, as well as the present onerous protective tariff. Again : “In 1916 the advocate of a National Bank —in ’34 proposing to extend its charter 12years. ’ Now what are the (bets ? Neither Mr. Calhoun or his friends have the slight est, wish to deny that after crushing two or three swin dling charters, he did votf for the least objectionable one that was presented to Congress, and that in 34 he wished to avoid a financial convulsion by giving the Bank 12years to wind upits affairs gradually. Wc will only notice one other of these contradic tory allegations by stating that in 1336, when from the sale of the public iands, the tariff of 1928, and other sources, a large surplus had accumulated iu the public treasury beyond the wants of the Govern ment, the public debt had been extinguished, Mr. Calhoun was therefore in favor of returning the sur plus money then in the Treasury of the Stales, to he by them retuined to the people from whom it had been collected, and not have it thrown away upon Ranks, or used as a corruption fund. In 1341 he oppo sed the distribution, not only because there was no surplus Jfund, but because there was a large public debt. The Government herself was a borrower in every market, and no distribution could take place without increased burthens upon the people, im posed by the collection of anew fund for distribu tion. Mr. Calhoun is not in favor of the shallow electioneering scheme that would collect from the people their own money, and after wasting half of it in process of collection and upon the officers em ployed in doing it, return the balance to them as a boasted bounty. In 1836 Mr. Calhoun was in favor of distribution, not as a permanent policy of govern ment, but simply because he believed that it was the only proper app’icalion of the surplus moneys then in the Public Treasury. Were it not as tedious as unprofitable, wc might go on and dispose of all these assertions in the same way. Although Mr. Oalhcun’s friends are ready to admit that increased wisdom and experience basin some cases induced him to oppose measures that lie formerly advocated. It is only such “wise men” as “Bibb” that never change. We are ala loss to explain the rancorous hatred with which “Bibb” attempts to “revile” Mr. Calhoun, and consider it unworthy of further notice. Is “Bibb” one of those self-rig-heous political pharisees,who has (without changing) abandoned ev ery principle which characterized the Troup party of ’25 and the “States Rights” party of ’32, and now seeks to conceal it by raising a hue and cry of deser tion, treachery, etet. ? Asa member of those two par ties, and of the Democratic party of 1840, I tell him if we have changed our men, you have apostatised from your principles. HAMPDEN.

Ihe accounts from the west, in relation to the general lecl ing in the markets, aod the prosj»eci of business, are of the most flattering description. In the port of Cleveland, Ohio, at a late da:c, thvre were eighty sail of vessels arrived from and clerting for every portouthe vast extent of the navigation. Money was increasing in abundance. 'J he rise in wheat and other produce, by accelerating the flow of money into the hands of the farmers, and addition to the proceeds of the late loan, were all tending rapidly to restore that feeling of buoy ancy which the liquidation of the banks last winter, in some degree helped to destroy. The public have become convinced that their welfare is by no means bound in banks. Money in return for wheat is tar better than on promissory notes. In all directions the same state of affairs is apparent. The general welfare of the country is rapidly improving; and were it not for the destructive influence of the tariff, would uow be highly prosperous 'I he next steamer will have arrived at the end of the Week, and will, undoubtedly lit jug better news At the new Board, United Skates 6’s sold at 112 I*B.
