(. j nl mlncs« ridiculous by associating it with idio .. » Hiriitlan was right—the measure prostrated the 'oalition ministry. No no, the Dc nocraev insist upon Free trade, that no t upon a trade paying no duties, hut upon a coniuierciai intercourse unimpeded by prohibitory or i ,-traragant imposts, laid on not for the general wel- A-r, but to painjxir the ravening cupidity, of a com paratively small number of overgrown capitalists, at the sacrifice of thQ rights and interests of the great lioJv of the American People. The Democracy of ,1,0 Union insist on a Free trade, witli a Tariff, which niiile it and the land fund amply supply the ccono r ical expenditure of government, must be construct -1 with sincere impartiality, bearing equally, as is racticable on all the sections and all the ioteres's of iic country. This is the character of the free trade, [for which Democracy has fought and conquered, for the elections in twenty States, have for the last two vears heen won under the Anti-Tariff and Anti- Bank Banner. And yet the Federal harangue makers, the prints controlled by the Clay a.id Bank ]aty in this Mate have the hardihood still to insult the good sense of the people of Georgia, by attempting to vindicate ! ~t!i Bank and Tariff. Vv hat have hern the results 0 f the present enormous Tariff 1 It lias diminished the revenue compared with what 120 percent, would have produced —inflicted serious wrongs on the mer cantile and shipping interests —lessened the prices of our staple, as weil as those of all the other agricultu ral products of the country—lowered the wages of Idior and augmented smuggling, and none are bene fited hut the factory nobility—to all others it occasions loss. Our Whig friends used to tell us in the mem orable 10, that the majority could never he wrung— the Democrats have note the majority, and according tj the logic of '4O, arc infallibly right. Lot those who in that disastrous period betook themselves to the Fed eral camp, return to the State Rights ranks —let those State Rights men who vowed, that if the Com promise was violated—an attempt made to subvert the Constitution, by removing its key stone, the Presi dential Veto—if the daring treason against the Peo ple and Constitution, the assumption of State Debts by the General Government, and the distribution of the Land Revenue were attempted, they would pitch the Whig party —tee won’t say where. Well, all these iniquities, with additions and variations peculiar to the prurient fertility of Mr. Clay’s genius, have been attempted, some of them perpetrated—yet some o.' our old comrades have not redeemed their pledge. ■ Wc claim from them as honorable and high-minded men, the fulfilment of their promise. It is the part of a noble and manly mind, if it have erred, to return quickly as possible to the right path— os a mean and feeble one, to persist in error, lest act ing right should be considered an admission it once had been wrong. d::.\n swift and his countryman BARNEY. This celebrated man, (the Doan) equally admired for bis extraordinary talents —wondered at for bis eccentricities, as exhibited in his writing and conduct, was himself severe enough upon his countrymen, but no one else was permitted to touch them with impu nity. During one of his visits to London, some oflds friends bantered biui on spending bis life among a stupid and half savage a population as the Irish. Swift replied that the John Bull family were so ab sorbed in self-adulation, they were incapable of judg ing fairly of others. He assured them their notions respecting the Irish were singularly erroneous, for that the peasantry and lower orders of Ireland were endowed with an intelligence and native courtesy, greatly super! >r to the same class of English popula tion. lie offered to test it on the spot, by asking a dozen in succession, of the English porters, draymen, Ne> who were passing, “ What will you take, my good fellow, to stand quite naked, for two hours, on that great ball, there 1 (pointing to the summit of Sb Paul’s steeple.) Each asked, bluntly, how he could git up there, or named the sum for which he would undertake it, and was dismissed. Swift offered to bet a guinea, the first Irish laborer to whom the same question should he proposed, would make a reply marked by mo/e shrewdness, and good sense, and quickness of apprehension, than all their cockney favorites put together. . A real jewel of a hoy, from the Gem of the Ocean, coming up soon after, “the Dean” began— “ Paddy, ” “ I ’in not Paddy, your honor—l 'in Barney o‘Cal laghan." “ Well, Barney, my man, what would you take to stand, naked, two hours, on the ball at the top of St. Paul’s steepiu 1” “ Is it what 1 'd take to stand stark naked up there in the sky, such a day as this 1” “ Yes, Barney, that’s it.” “Why, thin, asking yer honor’s p rdon, I’d take a divil uv a cowld.” Paddy’s was rewarded by the Dean’s winnings. CURRAN and the NO SOLDIER OFFICER. Curran engaged in one of the many cases he con ducted for the United Irishmen, was annoyed byXl l e hard-faced testimony of a very pompous young lieu tenant, going strougly against Curran’s client, and to confuse the witness, Curran began thus— “ My Lord, and Gentlemen of the Jurv, you have beard the evidence given by this svldier.” The lieubnant, indignantly “Be it known to youi sir, I'in an ojjiccr, and not a soldier." Curran bowing to the young man “ Well, sir, 1 stand corrected —your lordship has heard what ‘this officer and no soldier,’ has stated;” This raised such a general titter in the Court, the officer and no soldier effected his retreat prccipitati ly. PARTISAN TACTICS. It has been remarked by persons accu'storr.c 1 to the game of Chess, and who are at the same time addict ed to the study of character, that either, as observers, or antagonists, in one of those intellectual struggles, mappropriatelv enough railed a game of Chess, they understand more accurately, certain points of the player s inward man, than a years residence w ith them coul.l have afforded. This is doubtless correct, where n ° mask is worn. Tut a position which affords a fuller and more un rquiv teal development of whal is in man, is that of a jiolitical partisan, on the approach of an election likely to go against his jorty. Then is the time for the dregs of human nature and of individual character to work up to the surface in all their loathsomeness. The liberal, honorable spirit goes into such coh fiicts, on the principle of fair play; his weapons, truth, reason and facts—desiring no advamage, but what his cause and his weapons give him —on the contrary, the hitter, narrow-minded, self-interested partisan, urges the war, on the maxim, “ In politics, all play is fair play. With such, the wilful fabrica tion, the bold, unblusliing misrepresentation, the dis coloration and perversion of facts, the impudent reit eration of the thousand times couvicted misstatements, —tile low-bred personal vituperation of their adversa ries, are all fair play, and the favorite—indeed, the only weapons and munitions with which these politi cal corsairs carry on their piratical hostilities. We would be happy to know that no portion of the modern whig press soils itself by these opprobrious practices, and thrice happy would we be, if such vile means had never been resorted to by any journal, bearing the Democratic Standard. The instances were always few ; at present, they arc rare indeed. We have been led into this train of remark, from observing the demonstrations with which some of the Federal wire-pullers and the journals they control, are opening the campaign in this State. COL. GIBSON CLARK. We notice in the last Jeffersonian a letter f. om this gentleman, in reply to one from Gen. Burney, of Jasper; "in which he avows his intention, like every other good Democrat, of snppoiting Mark A. Cooper, and the rest of the regularly nominated candidates of the Democratic party. Col. Clark, it will no doubt be admitted, is as good an exponent of the views of the old ClarU and Union parties, as any man living, at least, as much so as some modern Whig editors) Col. Gibson Clark is a brother of Gen. John Clark, from whom the party derived its name, and wc have no doubt that bis letter will have that influence upon this subject, that it so jus ly deserves. It is a pity that our opponents cannot And out some thing that will tale. They have failed miserably in Mr. Jefferson’s forged letter, and failed worse in at tempting to raise a very titUe political capital frsm Win. J. Davis, Judge Warner, or Col. Clark. What will they attempt next. Wc have received two numbers of the Stale Ga zette, an able Democratic paper, published at Shaw neetown, Illinois, we take pleasure in exchanging with them. Tiie Dahhmcga Times comes to u« this week in a new and very handsomely improved appearance. THE VETO POWER. Mr. Berrien, in his recent address, denies that Mr Clay, or the Whig party, ever attempted to abolish the Veto Power. lie says they only wished to mod ify it. Having proved by Mr. Clay that he was an advocate of a Protective Tariff, and would be. until he was incarcerated in the cold and silent receptacle of all things human, we shall refer to him again to prove that lie was in favor of abolishing the Veto Power. On the 29th Dee. IS4I, Mr. Clay introduced the followin')', among other resolutions into the Senate. Resolved by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, (two third* of both Houses concurring,) That when a bill shall have passed the Senate anil House of Representatives of the United Slates shall lie returned by the President, with his objections to his approbation and signature, if, upon its reconsider ation, it shall again pass each I lou-e by a majority of all the Members belonging to such House, not withstanding the President s objections, it shall become a late; and tbo requisition by the existing Constitution if two thirds of each House again to pass tlm bill in such case is hereby annulled. Now if that is not abolishing the Veto Power we know’ not what is. We might go on and accumulate evidence upon evidence until it occupied a volume, but this is sufficient for the purpose. Wo leave the question lor the decision of an enlightened people. MR. CALHOUN IN THE EMPIRE STATE. Wc again use this expression, though at the risk of exciting the irascibility of some of our opponents, in recording the proceedings of a great Calhoun Meeting in New York, it was held on the 4th inst. before the City Hall, and consisted of between four and five thousand. “ The Meeting was not only very numerous but is said to have had a large infu sion of talent and influence. Stephen Hasbrocck presided, assisted by twenty Vice Presidents, and six Secretaries. Addresses were delivered by James T. Brady, Esq., 11. P. Barker, Esq., and Wit. Wallace, Esq., of Kentucky.” Resolutions were adopted pronouncing Mr. Calhoun “pre-eminently qualified to administer the general government ac cording to its true principles, and consistently with the best interests of the people and the progressive spirit of tho age and nominating and strongly commending him for the Presidency, and deciding in favor of voting by districts in the National Conven tion. — Char. Courier. GREAT CALHOUN MEETING IN NEW YORK. The friends of Dir. Calhoun had a errand rally in (he Park on Monday eve ning. The resolutions adopted are ad mirable, and will find a response in (lie hearts of the people through the whole country. We are compelled to defer their publication till Monday. We have, as usual, the most conflicting accounts of the meeting. The Journal of Commerce says : “ in point of numbers and respect ability, it may fairly be set down as one of the most influential political meetings which has taken place for some time in this city. About four thousand persons were present, a large number of whom, in point of talent and influence, may be considered part of the very elite of the Democratic party.” The Aurora says the numbers were variously estimated at from 8 to 15,000, although we have seen smaller meetings there reported at twenty-five thousand.” The Plebeian, which seems to be in a perfect rage with the whole affair, be- - .. - -■ stows a column of unmitigated coarse-1 ness on Mr. Calhoun, his friends and the ' occasion, that proves clearly to our mind ; that the Journal of Commerce must have underrated the numbers of the ' Meeting, and that the Aurora is nearer j the mark. Four thousand people could never haVe put Mr. Van Bureii’s organ ! into such a stew of anxiety, terror and rage. That paper says the meeting cort sisted, at high water mark, of exactly 1093 persons, and describes them as mainly Whigs, rowdies, little hoys, nig gers, Van Burcn men and other such worthless rdbblernent. Os the proceedings and results of this Meeting the Aurora says : “ Trie loud and hearty cheers which filled the air during the reading of the resolutions, every principle of which, aside from the preference expressed lor Mr. Calhoun, meets the views of all the candidates except Mr. Van Burcn, must have aroused the “Old Hunkers” from the dream in which they have lately been indulging, that the democracy whom they have so long led, would not dare avow themselves favorable to any Presi dential candidate not first sanctioned by their cut-and-dried caucus. But, thank God, the spell is broken ! —the name of Vail Bureu has lost its magic upon the independent democrats of the Empire C ity, and they will speak lor themselves. The threats of the O.d Hunkers to ex communicate the rebels against their au thority from Tammany Hall, have lost their three, and are now no more heeded than the idle wind. “ King Caucus” is dethroned in New York. Let the glad news he proclaimed among the democra cy through the length and breadth of onr laud. Aftef the adoption of tho resolutions, James T. Lrady, Esq., addressed the as semblage in a clear and powerful man ner, giving tiie Old Hunkers, and those timid and mercenary democrats who have not the courage to speak out their real views in relation to Mr. Van Burcn, a very deserved castigation, lie very eloquently set forth the talents, claims and virtues of Mr. Calhoun, and was cheered heartily throughout. Loud cries now rone from every quar ter for Mike Walsh, and the meeting re fused to hear any one else till Mike came forward, when, after much cheering, he said : “Fellow-citizens: I came here as a private individual mere! y. 1 was not consulted in relation to this meeting,and 1 will not speak.” (Loud uheering.) Henry P. Barber, Esq., th en addressed the meeting in some appropriate and elo quent remarks, and was follow ed by Win. W;tllace, the Kentucky poet, a lid others, and the meeting adjourned in a quiet and orderly manner. This demonstration of the friends of Mr. Calhoun is hut another evidence that the spell by which the democracy of New York Rave been held in thr all is completely broken, and that the opj tosi tion to Mr. Van Boren unquestionably embraces a majority of the entire party in this city. YVe shall have more to sa y in regard to this meeting, but must givV way this morning for want of room. MF.L tNCIIOLY OCCURRENCE. “ Day is for mortal care : Eve for glad meeting's round the joyous hearth; Night for the dreams of sleejJ, the voice of prayer; But ail are thine tli u monster of the earth.” It becomes our painful duty lo record one of the most afflictive, unlooked for, and heart-rending dispensations of Prov idence, which has ever occurred within the circle of our friends—the sudden death of an estimable and lovely lady, a wife mid mother, under circumstances such as to awaken onr liveliest and warmest sympathies for the surviving relatives and friends. Mrs. W alker, consort of Wm. Walker, Esq., a highly esteemed and wealthy cit izen of Harris county, was, on Tuesday before last, precipitated in her carriage j from the bridge over the Mulberry, and drowned, before it was possible to extri cate her from the stream. The circum stances, as we have obtained them from the neighbors of Mr. Walker, are these: On the morning above stated, the car riage of Mr. Walker, containing his wife and child, with two* other ladies and a servant girl, were crossing the bridge near his plantation, oil their return from Harris Camp-meeting. When partly a cross the bridge the mules suddenly took fright, and ran the carriage back against | the railing. In this position, the driver, fearing the terrible result, and unable to j force his mules forward, sprang from the ’ box, opened the door, and succeeded in getting the young ladies out, before the railing gave way—which it did in an in stant after they were out —and the car riage and mules, with Mrs. W. and child and the servant girl, were all precipitated j into the stream. Hearing the shrieks of j the driver, Mr. Walker and his brother, who were but a short distance behind, spurred up their horses to full speed; but liefore they reached the spot, Mrs. W .and the child were buried in the swol len creek. The brothetof Mr. Walker sprang into the creek, at the spot where ! they fell; the child floated from the car riage and rose to the surface ; he caught it in his arms and rushed to the bank with it, hut it was all he could save.— The mother and the servant rose no more, until they were, after much exer tion, drawn from their watery graves, cold in death. In the death of this amiable lady, a de voted husband has lost the most valuable of all his earthly treasures, and a large circle of relatives and friends have been deprived of one endeared to them by all th • ties that bind the hearts of the lovely and virtuous together. Mrs. W. was in the very freshness of mature life, aged probably about 34 or 35 years. How loud is the appeal made to survivors in this sad event: “Be ye also ready, for in «ch an hour as ye think not the Son of an cometli.” It is cheering amidst the gloom cast over the neighborhood by this sudden death, to remember that the departed one was called away while in the path of du ty. Returning from the place of God’s worship, from the house of prayer, she was doubtless in a frame of mind and heart well prepared to receive a message from God, bidding h r “come up high er V'—Columbus Pmjuirer.

The Editor of the Buffalo Courier has seen an inter esting letter from an American officer in the Pacific squadron—which states that while in the Bay of Callao, lie shot three seals upon the rocks among the islands off the harbor, two of which sunk on ac count of the weight t£ stone they had swallowed, but die thim, an old lion, (or clap match) floated, and after towing his carcass alongside, he found his weight to he 1029 lbs., with only three stones in his stomach, but not of sufficient weight to carry him down with the others. The alligators of the .Nile and of the Southern States, are known to have more or less of this kind of'ballast aboard, it being found in them when killed and opened.— Portland American.

This work has now been a year before the public, during- which period its reputation has heen so suc cessfully established, and its circulation so widely extended, as to justify the hope and belief that it will long continue to be one of the principal organs of Southern Political Interests, attdone of the chief or naments of Southern Literature. The brilliant character of th ■ la'o Southern Review shed around Charleston and flip South, a halo which will not soon be forgotten ; the Southern Quarterly lias risen, af ter many toilsome efforts, from its ashes, and it is trusted that it will prove itself a worthy successor of the glory of the former. Nothing more is now re quisite to ensure its permanence than the continued and cordial support of the inhabitants of the South ern portions of the Union; and an appeal is t'infi dentlv made to the generous and patriotic feelings, of all Southerners, not to suffer the present Review tn languish from the want of that sustenance which they can so well afford. In its political character this Review will he Dem ocratic, and while avoiding carcfull v schims merely local in their nature, it will strenuously uphold South ern Interests, and advocate all quest ons of national inmnrtanre with Itnldness and freedom. It is not in tended. however, absolutely to exclude all articles maintaining principles different from our own; but if otherwise worthy of admission, they will he inserted with a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves responsible for the doctrines alleged. All reljg-jotis discussions of a sectarian nature will he arduously eschewed, and the Review will preserve a .perfect itnnartialitv towards all religions denominations. The work will h" printed on the best paper, and with the best tvpe, and every exertion will be made to render it worthy of the patronage of the public generally. It will be issued ptiarterlv from Charles ton, in January, April.

Habitual Cosjivcness, they are decidedly supe r'°un° a:; y Vegetable Pill ever brought before the public ; and one 25 cent box will establish tlicir sur prising virtues, and place them beyond rite reach bf doubt in the estimation of every individual.. 1 hey arc invaluable in nervous and livpochondria csl affections, hiss of appetite, and all complaints to which females alone are subject. I hev arc mild in their action, and convey almost immediate conviction of their utility from the first dose. They may be taken by persons of any age ; anil the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate are strengthened by tlicir operation, because they clcSr the system of bad humors, quiet nervous irra tability, and invariably produce sound health. Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thous and Boxes of these inestimable Pills bave been sold within the last twelve mouths in three States alone, and more than three times the same quantity hi oth er States. As an Anti-Billions Medicine, no family should bs without them. A single trial of them is more saus lactory than a thousand certificates. CEP 7 1 PICA TES. [The following is from Mr. Isaac M. Thomas, Mer chant, at Talladega Springs, Alabamtl.l Talladega Springs, Talladega Cos. Ala. > August 17,1342. J This is to certify, that. I have been afflicted with Sick Headache, Dyspqpsia, aud Liver Complaint, and Costiveness for the last eight or nine years, du ring which time I had taken, as well ns I recollect; about sixty boxes of Beckwith's Pills, twelve boxes of Peters’ Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion's and Brandreth’s Pills, all of which afforded me hut little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to try Dr. Spencer’? A'cgetahlc Pills, and well I did; for Inevcr had but one attack of the Sick Headache af ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six months) and I candidly confess, that 1 have derived more real benefit from the use of Spencer's Pills, than from all the other Medicines and Pills that I have ever taken, and I would earnestly recommend them to all, as being in my opinion, the best medi cine in use for all lingering complaints. The Pills have done me so much good, lhat I would not feel willing to be without them for five dollars a box ; and 1 cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer for having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the distribution of it is conferring a very great favor on the public, as it is a thing of the utmost impoitance that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen cer’s tally valuable Pills constantly on band.

Riser's Stohe, Talladega Cos., Ala. ) August IS, 1342. j Titis i* to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Pills in iny family for the last six months, and I consider them the best Pills I ever used. I was appointed an agent for the sale of tbem about -ix months ago, at whiclf time the travelling acr e nt 4pftme about one hundred Wes, and I have sold out every box long since, and could have sold as many more if they had been left. I think every family should keep a supply always on hand. I have neversold any Pills in my stoic that have been liked so well as Spencer’s Vegetable Pills. ADAM RISER. [From a very respectable Planter in Washington • County, Alabama.) r Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1313. To Dr. Spmicer t Dar Sir—l have used your Vegetable Pills in my family tbe list year with great success, aud I consid er them the best Pill I ever used. I have inade con siderable use of many other popular Pills, but I am convinced that yours are superior to anr of them. For Sick Headache, they arc an excellent medicine. For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best medi cine in the world, and also for the Bloody oeltix. I can say to you that I made great use of them last season. I had twenty of my blacks sick with the Flux, and I administered your Pills freely, and I did not loose a single ease. My neighbors speak iu ilia highest terms of them. ' Respectfully yours, JESSE JORDAN. iMPORTANfcAUTION|) A PROCLAMATION. To the Citizens af Georgia: i WHEREAS, for several years past, the good Peo ple ofthis Suite have been grja'ty, and Very seri ously imposed upon in times of suffering arid sick ness, by oeiny obliged to pay the enormous price of On* Dollar am! Fifty Cuds for a Box of PILLS, or a is,,tile of MIXTURE, to cure CHILLS AND FEVERS, and other distressing complaints : Now, therefore, know ye, that ar, effectual means of relief have been discovered in DR. HULLS VEGET ABLE FEVER and A GUE, and ASTI-FE VER PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and their Agents at the low price of only One Dollar per Bose— from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori ty of all other medicines for the cure of such com plaints; and as to the comparative safety With which they can be taken, together with live simplicity o( their componenijparts (which sre entirely vegetable) and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to dro wants of the community, there can be no longer thu least doubt of their great superiority over all othot medicines, not only in their superior properties in the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, but also as a remedy in Fevers of every description. It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes <f these Pills sold in Alabama alone, within the last twelve months, not a singlo case has come lo the knowledge of the pro prietors, where they have failed to cure the Clfl is arid Fevers, when they have heen used ar cording to the directions accompanying them. And besides, these pills arc no f quack maticine;" they arc fli* scientific preparation of experienced medical men. who, after having prepared this important reeipc, most positively declared that from all the discoveries tip to the present time, in medical science, they saw no way by which they could possibly be improved, or made In any way more effectual in the cure of those complaints for which tncy arc recommended: so that the happy combination of the ingredients and their proportions are such as to produce a medicine wh h never fails to relieve when relief is at all attainable. Upwards of one thousand certificates might hero be added, of important cures effected by this medi ne; but it is not necessary to publish them, as a single trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence titan a volume of printed tesutnunfa’s. We would, howev er, refer tbe reader to some eight or ten thou-and families in this State, who it is thought have experi enced their efficacy, and who would bear ample tes timony of their unrivalled virtues. £CJ= For Sale by J.
