Ison and Monroe were ny me unequivocal sentiment of the Nation. John Quincy Adams was disavowed by the People, and hurled from unormal and perilous eminence. The victorious and nl 1-coriqueriug Jackson swept away ev ery petty obstacle to his rise. With hint as the Republican candidate,the Republi can party was the American Nation. Mr. V. B. bcaine his sueccessor; the inheritor of his unbounded popularity ; invested with the vast patronage of the chief exec utive Magistrate of this great nation ; and in the complete enjoyment of the incalcu lable advantages of his situation, the Re publican party, when following his for tunes, were condemned to overwhelming and ignominious defeat ! He retired to the walks of private life. He left us in a state of forlorn prostration. Nis name was separated from our cause. Instantly, the irressible energy of our principle rebounded from the state of un natural degradation. The Republican Principle, delivered from the influence of his name, led us on to conquest after con quest, till our bright banner now waves in triumph throughout the broad realms of this broad Union. And now, even now, even before we realise our hopes and just expectations—we are called upon by his friends, once again, to iden tify our cause with his —ill fortune ! In directing the attention of the coun try to this unpleasant train of reflection, 1 am not so sanguine as to expect to command their unanimous approbation. I3y some I shall be deemed imprudent— others may be ready to infer that I am actuated by a spirit of personal hostility to Mr. Van Buren others, even less charitable, may question my fidelity to the Republican cause. As to the question of imprudence, I must take the chances, and meet the consequences of my conduct. If they be evil, their operation will be exhausted on myself. 1 indulge no feeling of personal oppo sition to Mr. Van Buren. I deem that he made a Republican President. But 1 believe him to be unpopular. Ido not say justly unpopular. I believe signal disaster has already resulted to the Re publican Party from their past efforts to invest him with the honors of the coun try. 1 dread the recurrence of similar calamity, as the result of continued, sim ilar exertions. Acting under a painful sense of duty, I reluctantly perform the task of admonishing Republicans of im pending evil. If my admonitions be dis regarded and my torebodi: gs realised, I shall prove my fidelity to the Republi can cause, by sustaining it in the hour of adversity. Jf Mr. Van Buren be chosen as the Republican Candidate, I shall de vote to his triumph my humble but most cordial exertions. If we succeed, 1 ask no other reward than the consciousness of having discharged my duty. Should fortune frown, and dark defeat close his career, far from upbraiding the folly of the selection—l would snatch our soiled banner from the dust, and boldly unfurl it for anothar conflict. kip kaps. A LETTER FROM MR. CALHOUN. To tic Editors of the National Intelligencer: Finer Him., July -8, 1813. Messrs. Gales & Seatun : 1 have just received from a friend the National Intelligencer of the l'Jlh and 15lh inst., containing your remarks on a volume re cently published by :he Harpers, of New York, enti tled “ Speeches of Mr. Calhoun, delivered in the Congress of the United States from 1811 to the pres ent time.” Your remarks arc headed, “ Political History Suppri ssed Speeches of Mr. Calhoun." “ Suppressed” is a strong word. The highest au thorities define it to lie, pul down, destroyed, conceal ed; and your remarks leave no doubt that you inten ded to use it in the strongest and most oll'ensive sense that i s . that they have been intentionally omitted in the compilation in order to give a partial and false view of ii;y opinions; and, for that purpose, a false title was given to the volume. To the truth of this you pledge indireetly your word by heading your re marks “ Political History.” The charge is a grave one, and made in an imposing manner, and if true the imposition would deserve the public reprobation. The question, then, is, Is it true 1 Let facts answer. The title is, indeed, false—talse every way. It cov ers much not included in the volume, and omits much that is—reports, letters, and other writings. You have noticed the former, and called public attention to it, hut not the latter, though equally obvious, and very material in determining whether the falsity of the title is a mere error or a fraudulent attempt at im position. The one might, with some plausibility, he construed to he an attempt at imposition; but it is impossible for any ingenuity so to construe the other. It is impossible to assign to it a fraudulent object.— But if the one is an error, why not the other! In fact the very grossness of both can leave no doubt that they are merely errors. It is not possible to open the volume without detecting them. Ihe title coveis all the speeches of Mr. Calhoun from 1811, when he entered Congress, till the present time, while the vol ume contains hut one speech, prior to 1833. Again: it omits to mention any thing hut sjteecties, when ot the four first of his productions of which the compi lation is composed, only one is a speech. 1 o make its grossness still more palpable, all these are headed “Speeches.” Has fraud ever been known to do its work in so clumsy a manner! It is id'c to waste words on a thing so {Jain. Fhe whole title is a gross blunder, of which 1 have much greater reason to Complain than any one else. It looks much more like an attempt to injure me than to impose on the public. I, however, can suspect nothing ot the kind. Ho a* it happened I know not; nor, is it material, so far as it relates to the object of tins communication ; but I deem it due to myself to state all that I know about it. it so happens that I have never yet seen the volume. I saw the title and the advertisement not long since, for the first time. I was, as may be imagined, indig nant at the blunder. I wrote immediately to a friend who took an interest in the publication and corres ponded with the publishers, and pointeJ out the blun ders in the title and the objections to the advertise ment, and suggested the corrections that should be made, which 1 requested him to have done forthwith. It was too late. I reaeived his answer a tew days since. He informed me that he had perceived the blunders before he got my letter, and had prepared a correction, but, owing to some delay in the transmis sion, it was not received in time. It may be proper to add, that the title 1 suggested (as well as I can re collect) was, “A selection from the speeches, reports, and other writings of Mr. Calhoun, subsequent to Lis election as Vice President of the United States, for the title. I come now to the selection or compilation; and here I take all the responsibility. It was done by me, and if there be any fraud or concealment, I am charge able. It: order that your readers may judge, I shall state the reasons which governed me in making the selection. It is proper to premise that I have been urged from various quarters, in the last six or seven years, to have tny speeches collected and published, and have iluring.the same period received numerous applications for copies of tny speeches in pamphlet form, with which I could not comply, because 1 had not spare copies. Since my name has been presented to the People in connection wi'h the Presidency, applica tions for copies have increased, and I have been more frequently urged to collect and publish my sjieeches, reports, and other writings on political subjects. 1 finally consented to the publication, because 1 beli 'v cd it to be due to the people, in the |s>sttion I occupy, to atTord the n the means of ascertaining the opinions and sentiments I entertain on all political subjects, particularly on those which have agitated the country of late, and on which the Presidential election will probably in a great measure turn. That 1 believed could best ho done by publishing what I had said and written on those questions in a form which would make the work accessible to the People. 1 would give my opinions and sentiments in the fullest and most authentic form, and in a manner much more consonant to my feelings than by popular speeches made for the occasion, or a [>er>on.il canvass. To effect the object, it was not only necessary that a selection should be made, but that it should be made from the later and not the earlier of my speeches and other discussions on political subjects. To publish all 1 have said or written in the long period of thirty two years, in which 1 have been without inter oission in public life, would make the work too bulky and expensive to be accessible to the great body of the community; and to publish those of an early date in stsad of those of a late, would not give the informa tion intended. 1 accordingly fixed on the termination of Mr. Van Monroe’s Administration, when I be came Vice President, as the period front which to make the selection. That may he faiily regarded as the point of time in our politi al history which marks the end of an old and the commencement of anew order of things, in the midst of whiah we still arc. From that to the present time is a period of eighteen years, being more than half of that in which 1 have been in the service of the Union. During the whole I took a prominent and responsible part on all impor tant questions. Such was my leading motive for se lecting the period I did from which to make the com pilation. There were others of a subordinate character which had their inllttence. It was the portion of my public life in regard to widen tutor,nation (as l believed) was most desired. I infer so, among oilier reasons, from the fact that the applications 1 have received for cop ies of tny speeches were almost exclusively confined to it. Tliete was another still stronger. It is tlie period in which my speeches and otuer publications contain nty mature and sc tied opinions on tlie prin ciples and policy of the Government; adopted alter long experience and much rcficction, which have mu ddied, or changed, if you prefer, in many particulars, uiy earlier and less matured impressions. About tlie commencement of the period, tny mind settled down in t:ic views of the principles and policy of tlie Gov erumeul 1 now en.erlain, and to woich I have ever since adhered, regardless of personal consequences and unintiueaced by parly considerations; thus giv ing the strongest proof possible of my deep conviction both of their truth and vital importance. By them 1 desire to be judged, and by them to stand or tall. Guided by these motives, l compiled the volume in the first instance exclusiuely from that period; hut afterwards yielded to the persuasion of my friends, against my judgment, to include the s|>ecch already referred to, delivered in 1811. They urged it upon the ground that, as it was uiy first etfort in Congress and on a subject of lasting interest, it was desuable it should be inserted, although a departure from the principles on which the volume was compiled. But even within this period a selection became ne cessary to cfiecl the object in view. To publish all my productions on political subjects during the peri od would uiuke the volume slid 100 bulky and expen sive lo be acceptable to the general mass of readers Here, again, the leading reason which governed me in selecting tlie period, governed also in making the selection tor the compilation. It is accordingly full on the subject of banks, sub-treasury, currency, tar ili, distribution, Male lights, and the principles and policy winch should control in the administration of toe Government. i hose which discussed subjects of a more isolated character were lor the most part omitted. But alter the compilation was li.sl made vvillnn these restrictions, the work was thought to be still too bulky, and many were struck Horn it, which It Wobld have been desirable lo retain. Such art the tacts in rctcrei.ee to the compilation. T ney snow conclusively that tile charge ot suppres sion against it, is as entirely uniounUcd as that of fraudulent imposition ag mat tire title. The very charge is absurd, flow could the spree lies be de stroyed or concealed I They were to he lound not only lit the files ot tfie Intelligencer, hut in those of mat y oilier journals and publications of the day, where they are just as safe aitd open to inspection as if placed among tlie public records. To attempt to keep them from the pUnhc eye would only cause them to he more greedily sought alter. The very speeches you have published, as if they were new attd un known to tue public, are the very ones which have been republished divers times, and have again and agaiu been repeatedly referred to in Congress, in po litical harangues, and by newspapers; and that tor the very pu.pose tor which you now republish them. They are the very last which any oite who was ba«e enough to resort to a fraud would think of conceal ing. But why speak of them as being suppressed when they are reierred to in the biographical sketch to which you allude, and which, it would seem from its index was intended to he included in the work ! Again, wlty speak of them as suppressed, when all the speeches which 1 made during the war to rouse and animate the country to the defence of its rights and honor, and to sustain the burden and privations of the war with fortitude, and which are now unani mously applauded, are in the same predicament ex cept one ! Are they, 100, suppressed or designedly concealed ! Why, indeed, should I attempt to conceal them, or or any of my early speeches not contained in the vol ume, even those which contain opinions different front those I now entertain ! What is there about them that l should repudiate them! Do they not breathe lofty sentiments and a devoted attachment to the country, and evince foresight and firmness!— Were they not applauded by the Republican party at that time ! And are they not now eulogized by you and other political opponents! Why, then, should 1 he ashamed of them, or cast them away because they contain opinions in several particulars which now, alter more than a quarter of a century, 1 do not approve ! Should Ibe ashamed to acknowledge that 1 have lived to improve, and have had the sense to see, and the firmness to correct early errors 1 No . I am far from repudiating these nty mote yo thful efforts. Their very errors lean to the side ot the country. They belong to the times, and giew out of ardent feelings es patriot ion. The danger which then threatened the country was hostile to popular Governments, and it threatened to turn its power against this continent in order t > sup press the free States which had sprung out of the old Spanish possessions. There was then no knowing at what moment we might be involved in a contest far more terrific than that which had just terminated. It was in this state of things that Congress Was call ed on to settle the peace establishment, on the termi nation ofthe late war with England. My attention was intently turned to what 1 believed to he the point of danger; and I was anxious tu put the couutry in a condition to meet whatever might come. The opin ions I expressed in reference to manufactures, inter nal improvements, and a permanent system of reve nue, kept constantly in view my leadingobjeet —prep- aration for defence—as much so as what 1 then said in reference to the army, the military academy, and the navy, as the speeches themselves show. The danger from without fortunately passed away, and that from within began to disclose itself. I was not slow to see the strong tendency the government was taking towards consolidation, and that many of the inaans which I had regarded as neccsiary to de fend against external danger, contributed not a little to increase the danger within. That led to a rein vestigation, and that to the modification or change of opinion which took place. So far from casting away or desiring lo conceal or keep out of viovv my early speeches, I have long in tended lo collect and publish them. I see you prom ise to publish freely from them. You cannot do me a greater favor, and 1 hope you will not halt till you have republished all. I was so careless as to neg lect to preserve copies of my speeches or other publi cations prior to my election as Vice President. Since then I have been more careful. Your republican m will give me copies in a much more convenient form than that of manuscripts, and save me much time and trouble in collecting and some littleexpense for copy ing. I shall preserve earef dly the two contained in the Intelligencer sen' by my friend, and I shall take care to get such others as you may publish. Li t me, in conclusion, say, I wish you to under stand that I make no complaint. So far from it, I feel rather obliged to you than otherwise. Be your motives what they may, you have afforded me an op portunity of giving an explanation made necessary hv the awkward manner in which the volume has been introduced to tlie public, and in which I have been compelled to state much that ought to have ap peared in a preface to the volume. With respect, [ am, &c. J. C. CALHOUN. domavip* WEDNESDAY, AUGUST IG, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: LEVI UOODBVIIV, FOR GOVERNOR, MARK A. COOPER.

RE JIOCRAT.C MEETING. Wc call (he attention of our friends to the an nouncement below of a-meeting of the Democratic Party of Bibb County, at the Court House to-morrow. Let every Democrat attend, and aid in making such a Ticket for Bibb as will insure the triumph of our party and principles at the approaching October elec tion. “ Come one, come all." ?~*f The Democratic Party of Bibb County are requested to meet at the Court House in Macon, on Thursday, the 17th inst., at the hour of 11 o’clock, A M-, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Legislature. A general attendance is requested: the members V eing elected fur two years service, makes it an im portant election. "RIP RAPS.” Wc call the attention of every Republican reader, to the able and eloquent remarks addressed to the people of Virginia, by a writer under the signature of “Rip Raps/’ which will be found in to-day’s Dem ocrat. The manly and dignified manner of the wri ter of this address, and the importance of the sub ject treated, will commend (his article to the notice of every Democratic Georgian, without further re marks from us in its favor. VACANCY IN CONGRESS. We notice in yesterday’s Telegraph that the Sa vannah Georgian (which we did not receive) has nominated Herschel V. Johnson Esq. as a candidate to fill the vacancy in our Congressional delegation. We concur heartily in the nomination, and know no man whose claims to that high office, we should ad vocate with greater zeal or pleasure. We hope that the nominating committee will act with the most careful and deliberate consideration, for the party has given more than one evidence that however strong their devotion to democratic princi. pies, they wil not bo trilled with. MR CALHOUN’S i.ET FER TO THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. We respectfully invite the serious aitention of our fellow-citizens to this valuable document—it is ev ery way worthy of its author. It is marked by tha quiet dignity, which conscious, high souled rectit tude, always displays when vindicating itself against the assaults of meanness and malignity. Were the miserable hacks of the Intelligencer sensible to even one emotion of honest shame, steeped as they are in political infamy, they must wriihe under the exposure, inflicted on them. But what caie they for exposure ! Have they not for the last thirty years been, at one time the hacks, and at another the libellers and calumniators of every party that has risen abeve the political horizon of this Country. BAIT TO CATCH GUDGEONS. Some of our kind Whig friends, who take an in terest in the concerns of the Democratic parly, and attend to our affairs as if they were their own, seem desirous of making the impression, that even should Van Buren be nominated, by she National Conven tion, he will not receive the undivided support of the party. Wc believe there is no room, for anxiety on tha' point, for though we sincerely believe a vast majority ofthe democracy of the Union entertain the most decided preference for Mr. C. still, if the convention, the organ, by which the people choose to express their will, (no caucusing, or intrigue, being employed to as we do from several of our highly esteemed friends, respecting the claims and capabilities of the two can didates, and feeling the strongest convictions that Martin Van Buren, is not the man for the Unit —not the man for the moremenJ, indis|>ensah!e to save our government from the revolution whieh Federalism, disguised as Whiggery, is preparing, still if he lie fairly nomin ted, we will stand foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder, with his friends, and battle for his elec tion as heartily as the best of them, lo the best of our humble ability. For although we should view Mr. Van Burcn’s nomination as greatly to he deprecated, in the pres ent circumstances of the country —although we are certain, it would delay, impede, perhaps jeopardize the permanent triumph of constitutional principles and of the lasting predominance ofthe Democratic party, which, if led by a wise and intrepid chief they have now clearly within their reach, still we give him infinitely the preference, to any Federalist, especiclty to Henry Clay, a far more dangerous, be cause, a far more reckless, daring and unscrupulous one, than Alexander Hamiltou himself. But let neither our friends or opponents be uneasy; there are, to be sure, honest diffrences of opinion entertain ed respecting the eligibility of the two prominent candidates —what of that! U|xin what subject do men all think alike! When the tug comes the De mocracy will act as a unit. We make these remarks to warn our Democratic brethren to keep wide awake, and not allow their at tention to he distracted, nor their confidence in the strength and ultimate success of the great cause they conteml for, by the artful and impudent misrepresen tion that distrust and disunion prevail in our ranks. Tjjese fables are circulated, to make little party cap ital. preparatory to our State elections. THE ENTERPRISE: Anew Journal, democratic in its character, and favorable to Mr. Calhoun’s election, published weekly in Forsyth Monroe county, in this Stale, by F. W. Johnson. We hail with much satisfaction tlie appearance of anew ally in the political arena, ready to do battle in the soul stirring cause of equal rights, free trade, arid constitutional liberty. To us, it has another recommendation, of no ordi nary interest—it advocates the claims of the collossal statesman of the Union—of civilized man, John C. Calßoi'n. The paper is handsomely got up—the editorial ar ticles useful and well written—the selections made with judgement and good taste. The Enterprise has our best wishes for its success. We trust its labors will meet with a hearty welcome and liberal patron age from our Democratic brethren. It is among the auspicious signs of the times that, the Anti-Federal press is receiving fresh accessions, both In number and talent almost daily in every State in the Union. COOPER AND STARK. From every part of the State we have received the most cheering intelligence. In the Cherokee coun ties we shall increase our majorities ut least twenty live per cent. From Chatham, Richmond, Musco gee, Meriwether, and Troup, we have the host ac counts, hut what most lays the flattering unction io our souls is, that the “ Old Oglethorpe School,” have indignantly rejected the nauseous doses of “ Old Adams” Federalism that the quack doctors were at tempting to force down theii throats in the slia|ie of a United States Bank, a Protective Tariff, Dis tribution (and we are afraid they had in reserve a fatal poison under the name of Assumption of State Debts) while pretending to lead them under the gui dance of a veiled prophet to the promised land of po litical virtue and fertility. The political veil of glit tering silver having been rent asunder by a deceived and deluded people, the true State Rights men of “ Old Oglethorpe,” “Old Elbert”—yes! blessed he God, of every other eoitnty in the State, now see the unveiled Idol in all its disgusting horror and deformi ty. Having united with the great Democratic Army on the broad platform of the Democratic Republican code of '9B, they are prepared to rush to victory! We extend to them the true right hand of Fellowship. 5000 majority for cooper and stark! !! TIIE SOUTHERN dUARTERLY REVIEW. The July No. of that valuable periodical was re cently handed to us by one of its friends in this city, with a request that if we appropriated a column of the Democrat to Literary notices, the Southern Re view shonld not be forgotten. Literary notices of valuable hooks and interesting periodicals, was an item in our original plan, to the execution of which we looked forward with pleasure, and from its ac complishment we have been hitherto prevented by the unexpected annoyances and impediments thrown in the way of our publication. The Review was placed in our hands too short a time before our paper went to press, to permit tha careful examination we desired to bestow upon it From the [terusal, howecer, of three of the articles and a hasty glance over others, we are gratified to find the old Southern Review lias found so respecta ble a successor. The subject selected for review in the present number are chosen judiciously, and the candor, judgment ability and learning shewn in their critical examination, highly creditable to the editors. The resuscitation of the Review in Charleston, was a desideratum —the permanent existence and wide circulation of such a journal is connected with many of the vitally important interests of the South, and it should be patronized in proportion. DOCTOR PUSEY’S SERMON ON THE EU CHARIST. Mr. Barnes has placed on our table this celebrated and much talked of Sermon, which has attracted the public attention in so remarkable a degree, both in Great Britain and in this country, and of which three editions of six thousand each, have hcCn s Id in London, ami the Har|>ers have issued an immense edition at the astonishingly low price of six Cents. Df. Puscy advocates the doctiine that tlie bread arp “ The Tiu. - Issue for True Churchmen,” or a state ment of Facts relative to a recent ordination by Drs. Smith and Anlhon—being the opposite side of the question, no two publications have excited more in terest. Mr. Barnes has also received anew supply of the Biographical Memoir of Mr. Calhoun. We take pleasure in referring to the columns of last week’s Telegraph for an able, conclusive and complete vindication of Mr. Calhoun's course with regard to our Indian affairs. The more that the political life of this great states man is investigated—the more his public measures are subjected lo the fiery furnace of opposition inves tigation—the more minutely they are scrutinized and examined—like gold seven times rtfined, the bright er, the purer, and the more valuable do they seem. In public, as he is unquestionably in private life, with out fear, and without just reproach. The Telegraph, not satisfied with a verdict of ac quittal for Mr. Calhoun, brings Henry Cl,ay to the bar of public opinion and “ liefore God, and before the People of Ge. rgia,” charges him with “Ebony and Topaz,” as being the prime mover in these nefa rious affairs. In proof of this charge, the Telegraph calls lo the stand witnesses of the highest authority. It is pleas ing to observe that while Mr. Calhoun was using his utmost efforts to induce the Indians to remove to the prairies of the Far West, he was not unmindful of the just claims they had on all honorable men to hu mane and tender treatment. Their fate cihnot even now be contemplated without sympathy, v Originally, uncontrolled masters of this wide domain—from the frozen regions of the North to the (then undiscover ed) “ Land of Flowers”—from the billowy edge of the turbulent Atlantic, to the far margin of the peace ful Pacific, they acknowledged no superior hut the Great Spirit. Suddenly brought into contact with an unknown race, the “ pale faces,” apparently more from some inscrutable fiat of nature, than from war; like Sennacherib’s army, they have faded like “the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown.” Communications.

Lamar, cannot be better or more acceptably filled by the committee, than by the nomination of Dr. U. D. Arnold, of Savannah. Dr. A. is an unswerving, liberal, and enlightened Democrat, and if elected, would reflect honor alike on his party and the State. His course, while a mem ber of the Legislature, has won the approhaiion, not only of his friends, but of every liberal and intelli gent Whig in Middle Georgia. “MACON.” Dr. I Urn. Green .-—The committee appointed to fill vacancies in our representation in Congress, cannot fill that occasioned by the resignation wfc.Col. Lamar, better than by the nomination of James M. Kelly, of Houston. Col. Kelly is an old and well-tried Dem ocrat, and I hope his claims will not be overlooked. “TROUP.” Dr. Green : —As it will be the duty of the Demo cratic Commi ttce to fill the vacancy occasioned in our Con gressional representation, by the resignation of Col. John B Lamar, allow me to suggest to the committee the name ofCoL A. P. Powers, of Macon, as a suitable gentleman to fill that vacancy. Middle Georgia— indeed the whole State will have in him, if elected, an able representative, and the Demo cratic party a zealous and unflinching champion. “OCMULGEE.” Air. Editor :—1 hear a great many people spoken of to fill the vacancy in our delegation to Congress, caused by the resignation of Col. I.arnar. Now, sir, 1 know none who would suit me as well, and I be lieve the great body of the Democratic party, os that old-fashioned, Democrat, R. SI. Echols, ol Wal ton. None who would represent their principles more faithfully, or study their interests more con stantly. I believe the Democracy would rally with unparallcled unanimity to the support of 'his patri otic veteran. FORSYTH. Air. Editor : —I discover from the Telegraph of yesterday, and other papers, that the names of vari ous gentlemen have been "submitted to the Demo cratic committee to fill the vacancy in Congress, oc casioned by the resignali m of Hon.

John I.amar, of this County, as a suitable gen tleman to fill said vacancy, and one every way qual ified to maintain our principles, and the reputation of the State in the councils of the Nation. Mr. Lamar would receive the warm and cheerful support of the Democratic party. “LEONIDAS.” Air. Editor: —As it will shortly be the duty of tlie Democratic Committee to fill the vacancy in our representation in Congress, occasioned by the with drawal <f Col. J. B. I.amar, permit me to suggest to said committee, the name of Solomon Cohen, of Chatham, as a gr rtleinan well qualified to ffil the same. Mr. C. is among our most rising and promi sing Democrats, and his able and dignified course in our last Legislature, gives promise that the day is not distant when the State as well as his party may point to him with just feelings of pride. We beg therefore to recommend him to the committee. “MIDDLE GEORGIA.” COL. JOHN B. LAMAR. We publish below the letter of this gentleman re signing his seat in the next Congress. Macon, July 79, 1543. His Excellency, Charles J. McDonald : Sir—You will please hereby accept my resigna tion cf the office of Member of Congress.
