From the Georgia Argus. The political campaign in Georgia has opened, and it i* by no means an enpropitiou* sign of the times that the whigs, with all the fruitfulness of imagination that characterizes them, have yet been able to find nothing more against the candidates of the democrat ic party, than that there are some divisions in the ranks arising from the ancient relations existing be tween the candidate for Governor and the large mass of the party. They ap|iear to be very much distress ed that the great, and powerful, and noble, old Union party may lie reduced to the necessity of supporting a nullifier. We a| prebend that a democrat, however violent may have been his prejudices against nullifi es would hardly be able to find a good reason for supporting Mr. Crawford against Maj. Cooper. Maj. Cooper has been battling with them and for them for several years past; he has suffered with them in their «|, feats and aided them in their victories, and wheth er in success or in defeat he has been the object at which their adversaries have unceasingly hurled their most venomous missiles—indeed, in their bitter ness against Colquitt, Cooper and Black, they seem to have forgotten their ancient animosities, except when they desired to give great force to their denun ciation by holding up the foul character of the party with which they are associated. Mr. Crawford has derived the greater portion of his celihrity from the bitterness with which he has assailed the democratic party in the legislature. We mean that portion of Iris celebrity which attaches to the man, for we think it is to the accidental possession of a name rendered illus trious by another that he is indebted- far more than all that he has done himself, and perhaps it was to the merit of the name rather than of the man that the whigs looked in their selection of a candidate and upon that rests their great hope of success. We do not intend l>y these remarks to disparage Mr. Craw ford or h's claims to whig adoration, he is doubtless a m in of very clever capacity, and so far as we know or believe a man of high m iral character. We have no objection to him either on the score of character or talents—he has plenty of both to make a very good governor, but for his politics. Weonly mean to say that he is not in point of talents that demigod that whigr makes him out, in truth whiggery could make a giant out of a man of even much smaller dimensions —it is wonderfully fanciful. A creative imagination is one of the attributes of whiggery, it Iras a sort of Egyptian expensiveness about it and whether it mark out as tile object of worship, the sun or a serpent, it has no difficulty in surrounding it with tile attributes of Deity. We shall doubtless soon see an exhibition of this capacity iu the extravagant claims which will be sent up for Crawford and Stevens, on the score, not only of talents hut of every virtue that man n«ay possess. The Democrats claim for Cooper and fna Stark, don >of these splendid and brilliant talen s which arc more dazzlingthan useful. They are hon est, plain, straightforward, working, business men ; they have capaeilv enough to understand theduties of the offices for which they are candidates, and honesty enough to discharge them faithfully. They will not seek to dazzle the people by grand exhibitions, but to serve them, by performing the duties assigned them; such men the country needs. It is prompt, firm, use ful action, and not pretty speeches, that the country wants; and in judging between the candid tes of the two parties, the people know where to look to have those wants supplied. We will not for the present discuss the question, whether Major Cooper can make as pretty a speech as Mr. Crawford, or whether he is as much the mas ter of the graces of oratory ; they are qualifications or rather accomplishments which are of very little im portance in a Governor. It will not be denied by any, that Maj Cooper is possessed in a high degree, of those higher qualifications which fit a man for the discharge of the duties of that office, with honor to himself, and benefit to the country. He understands the condition and the interest of the State; sound in judgment, cool and deliberate in action, industrious in his habits, and above all, possessing integrity which yields not to friend or foe, he is every way such a man as the present state of the country requires in that offi - e. Mi. Crawford may have many qualifications ne cessary to make a good Governor but he is too much upon the order of those who love splendid govern ments, who feel that the government is made for the rulers and not for the people ; who love to do things upon a grand scale, who look more to the making an imposing show, than to securing '.he happiness and comfort of the people. We have one objection to Mr. Crawford, which with us is insurmountable ; ho is a strong advocate forth- payment of the two hundred thousand dollars subscribed by Governor McDonald, to the Monroe Hail Road; of course, if he should bo elected Gov ernor, and his influ nee would be brought to the ac complishment of that object. STATE DEBT—COL. YOUNG. When the people of this country became freed from English oppression, they formed for themselves a government on a model guaranteed lo them repub lican by the United States. A republican govern ment differs from an oligarchy like that of Britain, inasmuch as the law makers are the servants of the people, who are the sovereigns. In England, the law-makers are the servants, not of the people, but of “the government,” which means the stockholders and aristocracy. The hereditary oligarchy of Eng land make such laws as they please; the representa tion of the Commons being a farce to humbug the tax payers. They have no rule for the passage of laws but an unwritten constitution which it constru ed towards oppression according to the patience of the people. The people of New York, to avoid this, ■net in Convention and formed a government. 1 hey dal not elect people “ to come and reign over them, ’ as the white slaves of England did at the revolution of hut they laid down upon paper, in the firm of a constitution, in black and white, what descrip tion of laws should be passed by the servants whom they should ap|>oint thereafter to execute their will, according to the strict letter of that constitution. They not only wrote down upon paper what descrip tion of laws should be passed, but they pul down in detail the cetemony that ehoulJ be olwerved before a bill proposing such legislation should heroine a law. Among other regulations or exprsss orders from the jieople to their servants, the ninth section of seventh article of the Constitution of the State of New York, is as follows: “ § 9. The assent of two thirds of the members elected to each branch of the Legislature, shall be requisite lo every bill appropriating the public moneys or properly for local or private purposes, or creating continuing, altering or renewing any body politic or corporate.” Time ran on, until in 1835-0 a most ungovernable spirit of speculation was engendered all over the Un ion. The most des|ierale speculators and their ac complices, the [wliticians, got possession of every Le gislature in the Union, and their combined efforts were concentrated to o'Haiit the money of the jieopli for private purposes. Under this excitement hills Were introduced into the Legislature of New York, to give *5,000,000 of the |ieople’» money to private compan cs. Those ' ills failed to become lairs, because they were passed nut by a majority of two thirds, which was the express orders of the people, but by mere inajotitirs. On these defeated hills however stock was issued and money obtained and squandered amung speculators. Hero was a palpable traud and false preienee. The foundation of the whole super structure of R 'publican government was sapped. — The servants of the people had set themselves up in opposition to their xvri.ten will. If this usurpation was to pass into precedent, then indeed would “ Mew York Senators become the servants of government,” and not of the people. In this position of affair,, Col. Young, with unbending integrity and unflinch ing republicanism risked the whole hurst of vilujiera t:on that has been showered upon him, and in a letter to the “Committee on the Judiciary” called their at tention to the fact of the fraud com nil led on the con stitution, and that capitalists holding si ck Under those defeated bills were without security. Here was not the slightest trace of repudiation. On the con trary, it was to pave the way for the creation of secu rity where none preciously existed. This was to lie done hy a simple, manly, and straight forward recon sideraiion of the affair by the Legislature, avowing the oversight and passing anew by a two third vote the bill under which the creditors of the State hold their stock. The Legislature did not do this. Those foreigners who read Col. Young’s letter understood the case, and were surprised to find that a gical ma jority of the press, instead of advocating the creation of a good title for the stock, attempted by clamour to make the false one pass current It was this that in jured confidence. Who are the repudiators! Col. Young, who wished to give good security where none before existed, or the vile stipendary press which intended to leave a d«ior open for future prosperity. If a man holds a mortgage on my house in which a flaw exists that legally invalidates his claim, as long as it is not tested, the mortgage is good. If then 1 go voluntarily forward and tell him that his mortgage is had, offer him anew and sound one, is the prece ding dishonest 1 Do I show any dis|H>sition to avoid the debt by so doing! Thus it is with Col. Young, and yet so perverse are the vile political hacks in the interest of the Erie Railroad, from the Lieut. Gov ernor down to the grovelling press of Wall street, that lie is reviled for a repu liator. The cause of this is that the miserable speculators and the political and editorial tools ho|ie to obtain more plunder from the State. This they can never do if the constitutional two third vole is adhered to. If by clamour and vi tuperation they can make the majority principle work, the door will lie ojien to more plunder. It is this which produces such an unanimity between the spec ulators of both parlies on the subject. The people will sustain Col. Young .—Herald. From die Columbus Argus. THE WHIG PARTY AMD MR. BERRIEN. The Whig party of Georgia, has recommended Mr. Berrien as their candidate for Vi e President; of course, they know his principles and approve them. For the benefit of that portion of the Whig party who are State Rights men, and believe that they are acting with a party which supports their principles, we copy the following extract from Mr. Berrien’s speech upon the Bankrupt Law : “The Constitution of the United States vests judi cial power in certain designated tribunals, and de clares that such power shall extend to all cases in law and equity, arising under the Constitution, the laws of the United Stales, and treaties made under their authority. To the judicial power, therefore, belongs, by the express provision of the Constitution itself, in all casts, pro|>erly brought before it, the right to interpret that instrument —to decide what it permits and what it forbids! in fine, to determine what it is. Each judicial decision, so made under tile authority of the Constitution, becomes incorporuted in, and is part and parcel of the instrument itself, enlarging, restraining, or modifying the original text, according to the legal import and effects of such decision. He who disregards it, whether he he leg islative or executive officer, disregards the Constitu tion itself, ol which it is part, and confessedly of higher authority than the original text, since in all cases of supposed eonflict, it controls that text.” State Rights men of Georgia, whether Whigs or Democrats, what think of these doctrines 1 Do you think, that the Supreme Court of the United States can alter the Constitution at pleasure! Do you think that a decision of that Court is made valid and of higher authority than the Constitution 1 If you do not think so, |>auseand reflect; go no farther with the Whig paity, until you learn where they are seeking to lead you. A whig convention, claimed to lie the most respectable and intelligent, that has ever assembled in Georgia, has put forward for the second office in the nation, a man holding these opions; they cannot be supposed to he ignorant ofhis principles. If they approve them a State Rights man cannot go with them. THE MAN WHO SLEPT WITH THE PRESIDENT. Mr. John M. Bolts has a penchant for heading— the Pennsylvanian thinks h i should keep a little guillotine in his garden; for now, although his own head is off, smack smooth, asthechildrcn have it, still, like St. Denys of France, lie tucks his caput under his arm, and goes about at his old work of trying to head Capt. Tyler. A late number of the Richmond Whig contains a Idler from Mr. Bolts—a gnawing letter, enough to kill a horse—in which he details va rious conversations between himself and Mr. Tyler, intended to show the latter gentleman’s inconsisten cies, &c. The amount of the matter is, that Mr. Bolls, according to his qffldary, took Mr. Tyler to task for not coming out “ flat footed” for a National Bank, and that Mr. Tyler said that he had presented three choices to Congress—a bank, the state bank system, and the sub-treasury —and that they wore hard to please, if this did not satisfy them. There are other points of rehuke, but the most interesting passage is tlie following:— “ Air. Bolts states ttiat he advised the President to save as much money as |>ossttde —that in four years he might save fcOO.OOO —$15,000 a year —which would be a fine estate in Williamsburg.’ •Bolts,’ ‘ why my Botts,’ oh, why Laid he, ‘ why confine me to four years I' • \Vhy, coniine you to what 1’ said Botts, who opt lied ms eyes as wide as saucers, and like to have turned three summersets. • its, why confine me to four years! why not twelvel lam now only finishing out the unexpired term of Gen. Hatrison ; and if 1 can make my ad ministration popular, why should I not be entitled to ail election on my own account ? and then, if 1 could make myself acceptable to the people, why should 1 not serve out my own eight years, as others have done before !’ • Why, Mr. Tyler,’ 1 answered, “ you forget tile one term principle.’ •No,’ said lie; ‘if every body else would be’bound hy the one term principle, so would 1; but nobody else is, and why should I be!' • Mr. Tyler,’ said I, ‘let me entreat you, even in jest, never to talk in this way to any body else.” Oh don’t! Oh glue-pot! excruciating. This having been said, apparently half in jest and half in earnest, l was douhtiul how he intended it, until in a more serious tone, he resumed : “ Now bolts, don’t y.'U go off half CO ked, and op jiose my administration—l bad rather any man in cengress sliouli oppose my administration than you —t°am under greater obligations to you than any iMsly eise, and lucre is no man whose interests 1 Should lake greater pleasure in promoting than yours. Now, sir, I nave a Catuuel around me not ol my own selection; this is Gen. Harrisons cabinet, and I don’t know how long lean live in harmony with them- 1 don’t know how soon I may have to call around me a political family of my own choice, and when I <lo, ‘ where should I loot so soon as to my old friends, from my own doors}’ extending both hands towards nle.” Eut Botts was virtuous, according to his own ac count, and was not thus to lie seduced; so he swore roundly at Mr. Tyler for intending to betray the whig party “flat footed,” and then stopp'd to din ner, lieing the last time that his intense indignation suffered him to perform that opeiation in the execu tive mansion. Butts will swallow his own head some of these days. —Boston Post. WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT OF THE EXITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, FOR VICE PRESIDENT: LEVi UOitDSimY, FOR GOVERNOR, HARK 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, the American Aristides, as our f'irst 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: The 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 field and fair play —and then “ God lefend the Bight.” Correction.— We find that die duiy on soft soap instead of being 30 cents a pound as copied from one of our exchange papers, is only 30 cents a barrel. NOTICE. We ask the indulgence of our readers, for the er rors and deficiencies they may noiice in the present and proceeding number—they arose from the de rangement produced in our office, consequent on the chauge of publishers. SWINDLING. We insert the following extract from Prince’s Di gest of the laws of Georgia, for the double purpose of showing to those who have been induced hy the false representations and impudent pretensions of artful knaves, who intend to live by preying on soci ety, to credit them, that the sufferer has easy means to punish the rogues who cheated him, and again as a determent to the depredators. Offences committed by Cheats and Swindlers, and Of fences against Public Trade. Sec. I. If any person by false representation of bis own respectability, wealth, or mercantile corres pondence and connections, shall obtain a credit, and thereby defraud any person or persons of any money, goods, chattels, or any other valuable tiling; or if any person s'.all cause or procure others to report falsely ofhis honesiy, rcspeciabiliiy, wealth, or mer cantile character, and by thus imposing on the cre dulity of any person or persons, shall obtain a credit, and thereby fraudulently get into possession of goods, wares, or merchandize, or any other valuable thing or things, such person so offending, shall be deemed a cheat and swindler, and on conviction, shall be punished by fine, or imprisonment in the common jail of the county, or both, at the discretion of the court; and such person shall moreover be compelled by the order and sentence of the court, to restore to the party injured the property so fraud ulently obtained, if it can be done. POLITICS OF THE EMPIRE STATE. The political movements of that great state, have, on many occasions presented results, so anomalous and paradoxical, as to mock the sagacity of statesmen and veteran politicians with a body of staunch, up right and enlightened democracy, much larger, (even when due allowance is made for her compar atively vast population,) than other Northern or mid dle states, still her final democratic action, is singu larly uncertain, and frequently at variance with the will of the people. To what cause or causes is this attributable ! A full and accurate exposition of this subject would be of no ordinary importance to the whole Union, from the preponderating influence, her delegates (one sixth of the representative body of the U. S.) give her in the decision of all important national ques tions. We trust some talented and fully informed New York ct, will undertake and complete the task —some- thing towards it is do..e in the last number of the Anti-Bank Democrat, published in Duchess county, State of N. Y.—a print equally distinguished for the ability with which it is conducted, and the sound ness cf its constitutional democracy. From that pa per we have made an interesting extract Uninitiated as we arc in the pilitical brahminism of the Knickerbockers, all wc dare attempt is a guess or two. ■ • First, we guess that the enormous amount of her civil list, fleeced from her producing citizens, to pamper an aristocracy of traders in polities, and their host of greedy retainers, is the main and most operative cause of the evils above noted. ’Tis prob able all the other causes are but branches of '.his parent Upas. Os those who live by trading in politics, the num ber is, we believe larger in the State of New York, than in all the other States in the Union—Pennsyl vania, the Key Stone—the purely democratic—the bank abhorring Pennsylvania, is also over-run with traders in politics, and wo believe investigation would lead to the conclusion, that banking and the pernicious increase oftl.at class hve usually kept pace with each other. We guess again, that the army of office holders, (a multitude of whom receive their appointments for services as elec tionc ering agents,) contribute ina'cri ally to defraud the people of N. Y. out of the choice they would have made without such interference. Wc guess once more, that the enormous patronage permitted to the Executive in that State, exercises a sinister, dangerous and anti-democratic influence, often doleatinf the wishes, and impairing tho rights of the people. FinTly, we believe the existence of that mysterious body, the Albany Regency, to be as inimical to the independent action, and but little less dangtrous to the liberties of that noble State, than waa the council of Ten. to the former republic of Venice. To the young Democracy, the Theban band, of their empire, the Union, the whole Union looks to turn the tide of public indignation through the Auge an recesses of corruption, and render the political purity of N. Y. as unquestionable as would be the grandeur, of its destinies were that reformation af fected. ONE OF THE CLUES TO CHARACTER. Observe upon what principle a man explains the conduct of others—to what motive he attributes their acta—you may be reasonably certain, that in similar or identical circumstances, he would act ou the mo tives he assigns to others. Among the candid and liberal remarks made by one or two pseudo democratic prims, and two or three of the less liberal of the Federal Journals, we noted insinuations, at the earnestness with which we ad vocate the nomination of J. C. Calhoun, had its ori- 1 gin in some sinister or interested motive—the slan der falls harmless at our feet, but discloses in its natural colors, the character of those who were guil ty of the calumny. To Mr. Calhoun or his friends, wc owe no personal obligation—we never saw or spoke to the gentle man but once, and then only in a passing introduc tion to each other, nearly forty years ago. We have on a former occasion, declared “we had neither sec tional or personal attachment to the Carolina sta:ea man”—we should have said, “except the involun tary homage, high hearts, render to goodness, great ness, devoted, long tried <fc unfaultering patriotism.” We are no man’s man— no men’s man —we are j equally, by inclination and a sense of duly pledged I to the support of the principles of the democratic par ty in this country, as em odied in the Constitution of the U. S., and expounded by Jefferson and Madison, not as believing the system altogether perfect, but better adapted than any other plan of government, ancient or modern, to ensure (he property and ele vate the character of a republican people. In all other respects, we are unharnessed— and “freely rove wherever by duty horn, or drawn by love.”— Another point of duty that wc shall at all times (to j the measure of our humble capibilities,) perform ! con amore, is the vindication, of the members and 1 the measures of the democratic par f, when unjustly assailed. 1 ... " —.• « “A SIGN, THE OLD NORTH STATE.” It is with no ordinary grs .i fication, that we an nounce to our friends, the cheering prospects of Mr. Calhoun in the “old North State,” from the best authenticated sources, as well as from the utter" ring indications of public feeling, there, we believe that Mr. Calhoun is the unanimous choice of the Democracy of that State. The entire Democratic press in that noble “ Old Commonwealth,” is in fa vor of Mr. Calhoun for the Presidency, and although some of them have not openly avowed a preference, yet it is understood that lie is the first choice of all-- at any rate, there is not we believe, a single demo cratic press in that State advocating the claims of any other in preference to Mr. Calhoun, notwith standing the whig papers of that state like those of Georgia, seem all at once smitten with a great love and affection for Mr. Van Burcn, and are bewailing most piteously, the great injury inflicted upon him by that portion of the Democratic party who prefer voti-g for Mr. Calhoun. The fact need no longer be disguised. Mr. Calhoun is the undoubted choice of the Democracy in every State south of Virginia, and 'he only available candidate in these States the only one on whom a successful rally of the party can be made in 1844. There is another fact ( which cannot be concealed. The disastrous defeat and overthrow of the party iti 1840, have caused many to look forward to anew name—a new leader —to one having in himself the elements to command success. Nay many, and we are of the number, believe it is t'ie on'y way by which the party can secure its as cendancy ; the whigs too, understand this well, they know that the great name of Calhoun, will carry ev ery thing before it like a whirlwind. They know that if he is the candidate of the democratic party in the coming contest, that he will secure not only the entire vote of that party, but a large numbfer of State Rights, Anti-Bank, Anti-Tariff whig voles, from their own party. It is to prevent this that they seem so kindly disposed towards Mr. Van Buren, well know ing that that eminent democrat would not be so for mutable a rival against "Harry of the West,” as the great statesman and orator of Carolina. The same feeling actuates the whigs of North Carolina, they remember well the easy triumph of 1840. But the democrats are not willing again to ris|t a defeat iti that State under a vanquished leader; they are ral lying to the standard of the great tribune of the peo ple, Mr. Calhoun. Whom they believe best calcula ted to restore tile party, not only in that State hut throughout the whole Union, to its former elevation and glory. fIEaVY RAINS. < After a long spell of hoi, dry and sultry weather, it commen ced raining on Thursday morning last, and for several hours it poured down in torrent 9. The s'reams rose rapidly. By the next morning the Ochmulgec had risen 18 feet. It has rained every day since, and the hiver and low grounds are still full, though the water is falling. Considerable damage has been done to the crops in the low grounds in this vieinity. In the up country also, we hear of more or less damage by the floods. — Telegraph. FRESHET AND DESTI CTION OF PROPERTY AT THE INDIAN SPRINGS. A sudden and disastrous freshet occurred at the Indian Springs, in Buits county, ou Thursday morning last. A ire. mendous shower of rain commenced falling at about 7 o'clock, and such was its violence that in the space of iwo hours the creek rose tweniy feet. Much damage was done in the neigh borhood. A building occupied by Mr Wm. G. Thomas of this city, as a Grocery and Billiard room, was carried away, and with its contents, completely destroyed. The sudden rise in ffl« creek precluded the possibility of saving any thing. The Billiard Table was lodged in a tree at some distance below the springs—the largest piece discoverable of this “wreck of matter ” Mr. Dillon ihc proprietor of the Springs Hotel has suffered the greatest loss by this catastrophe. Ilis entire crop it is said, is destroyed, his fences, dec., completely demolished. The damage sustained by there worthy and enterprising gen" tlemen, we regret lo learn is no: much short of two thousand dollars. All the bridges about the Springs are gone, and no doubt much damage has been done on the course of the creek, the amount of which, we have not been informed. A similar disaster has not occurred at that place within ihe recollection of the oldest inhabitant.— Telegraph.
