statements and mUapjt«eh«mu»* respecting tlre
H tliat led to the defeat of the Democratic
*ei in this State. The Whig pr 'ss. labors to in

.. ,|, portion of the Democrats from their own
a, to those oft he Federalists —and that it openfe
Mr. Olay an unimpeded vista to the White House;

vss to the spoils of tile Amcrican people.
The reader will recollect. Clay promised this, not
L j,r ( . in one of his speeches.
Pur brotiier Democrats, on the contrary, who fa
r the pretensions of Mr. Van Buren, attribute
, Jiscomfitura to the zeal with which Calhoun’s
ins were espoused by a large majority of the Geor-
L Democracy. Both of these explanations are as
mte from fact, as the hopes of the Whirs, based
their late success, are entirely chimerical.
iVh speak advisedly, and from an intimate ae-
B„,t inee with the facts, that there are more Dom
ing and fewer Whigs in Georgia now, than at the
of forty-two; ail I further, that the causes, pro
<ju mg the temporary triumph of our opponents, had
( the slightest connection with national politics, or
ht great questions, that at present divide the Arncri-
U! people—they were purely internal to the State.

rupulous tactics of the Whigs, and not a little

t may be remarked among the infirmities of tliat
..’countable aggregate of contradictions and incon
ilies, human nature, that persons laboring to ad

The Ceutritl Railroads
■The ears are now running from the Depot tn Hast
Mr hi to Savannah, and it affords us much pleasure to
barn th it the numerous complaints which Rumor,
Bill her thousand tongues, has put afloat relative to
all ,vd irregularities on our great line ot Central it'll
|,i are, in all important particulars, destitute ot tbuti-
Bi.»t. It is true, indeed, that the Road cannot now
(ra .Lately answer the vast demand made upon it,
for transportation, from Middle, Western, and South
w'sirrn Georgia—and this is by no means surprising,
wl.il we reflect upon the immense quantity of
Cntt in those fertile sections of the State have con
-1,1 upm the route, and the largely increased a nount
(freight tor the up country merchants, who, as well
Stl.e pi .inter and cotton purchaser, now look to
vaunah as their principal, indeed their only mark, t
Kettle great inlet and outlet for receiving, forward
(, and transporting, not only the almost entire mass
■ staple productions of the interior, but also the liea-
I return freights which have largely accumulated

Bil.-.l facilities, which the co npletion of the Central
Bute has afforded to the trading community gem r-
Bllv. Country merchants’ in remote Southwestern
B tions of the State, hundreds of miles from Macon,
B! others residing even in Florida and Alabama.
Bvr alrealty availed themselves cf those facilities, bv
Sighting their merchandize on our Railroad t.* its
Bai.nus, an 1 from thence wagonning it to their dis-
Bnit jinints of destination. Thus, tile centraliza-
Bn of the produce and freights ot various and re

trade. VVlien, therefore, this greatly aecu

B its, it is more a subject of astonishment that the
■nip,any should have progressed as successfully as
By have, than it is of complaint that they should
Bve done, as it is erroneously alleged they have

■addition to all this, the numerous and almost in

B and surmount, and the unparalleled ex'ent ot the
line, living as it is not only the longest in the l nion,
■> probably the longest in the world, together with
IB heavy outlay of money which has been made —
we say, all these things are fairly and duly es
■ated, we do not think we are paying an unmerited
Buplimcnt to the Company in asserting that they
B‘e faithfully and ably discharged their duty by

•■nd a little more i xperience, w ill evaporate such mis
ty and romantic expectations, and bring us down t.
the dead level of the plain realities of life, when we
shall be able to see more clearly and calculate more
coolly and rationally.
But we are running away from the subject imme
diately before us. We learn, and from good author
ity, that the Company are straining every nerve to
supply the Road with means of transportation cqu i!
to the great demands widt h have lieen made, and
still are making upm it. There is now upon the line
sufficient motive power,to an-wer every purpose— all
that is wanting to enable it to do the entire work of
transportation is about one hundred additional freight
ears, which will cost, it is estimated, sixty thousand
dollars. The construction of these additional cars
has already commenced, and their completion will Is'
hastened as fast as circumstances will permit. As
soon as they are finished, the Road will lie enableil
promptly to transport every pound or iota of freight
that may be otiered, and by so doing, not only ad
vance its own interest, hut the interests of the m. st
productive and populous sections of our State. The
interests of the Company, and of our good friends the
Public, are so intimately and inseparably blended, that
whatever injuriously affects the one, must injuriously
a flirt the other. This,Jin itself is argument sufficient
toconvince a reflecting mind, that the Company would
not suffer for a moment an abuse to exist in its |siliee,
without correcting it; and that its own prosperity
and preservation demand the utmost vigilance to lie
exercised in the detection of all sorts of abuses and
irregularities.
This much is said in justice to the Company—be
cause we as well as others, have been led into error,
and induced to believe that the police of the Road
was very inefficient and subject to many irregularities
and abuses injurious to the interests of the trading
and travelling community. We are convinced that
those alleged irregularities ar.d abuses are more ima
ginary than real—that the police and facilities of the
Central route, all things duly and fairly considered,
may be proudly compared with the police and facili
ties of any Railroad whatever —and that the same
spirit which erected for us the most stupendous mon
ument of Internal Improvement within the limits of
our Union, still exists; and refreshed and reinvig.v
rated as it is, will vigilantly guard and protect from
deterioration the great work it has so indefutigabiy
pursued and triumphantly accomplished, during the
most gloomy and peiilaus period of i>ur comtnengal
and financial distress—a period when all around us
seemed either suspended, paralysed or prostrated.
Mr. Gidding* and dir. Clay.
\Ve invite attention to the article from the Rich

little importance to the well-being of the South. —
The disclosures of Mr. Giddings must lie sifted to the
bottom—’and, if true, there cannot be but one opin

course of action for us to pursue, in opposition to
the hostile and seditious attitude he has thought

Tii.it the Mill Boy will make a direct overture and
pop the question to one, if not tioth ot them, we have
no doubt. He has two old and hacknied widows to
deal with, well versed in all the secrets of the Toilet,
and who know what virtue there is in paint, patches,

Literary—New Publications.
The following new works have been put upon our
table by Mr. Barnes:
No. 1, of Amos Kendall's Lite of Andrew Jack
son, private, military and civil—illustrated with a
linclv executed full length por rait of the Old Ro
man. in front view of the Hermitage. This work is
to lie completed in fifteen numbers, and from the inti
mate acquaintance Mr Kendall has with his subject,
and his acknowledged ability, we may safely say that
his auti-biography of the Man of Orleans, will be
the I test and most authentic extant.
The first No. of Gibbon’s Decline and Call of the
Roman Empire, with notes by the Rev. H. 11. Mil
man—illustrated with Maps, and an excellent fron
tispiece of tile great historian. This work must al
ways commend itself to the scholar, politician, and
statesman, as furnishing the best materials for the
study of the science of government that the ancients
have handed down to us.
The Fifteenth number of Allison’s History of
Europe. This is a most admirable aeeompainmcnt
to the Decline and Fall, and is a highly interesting
work.
Part IV, of McCulloch’s Gazetteer embracing
North America—a most valuable production, full of
statistical, geographical and historical information.
The Fifth No. of Hannah Moore, whose sound
philosophy and good sense, have done more to ele
vate the character of her sex and give them just no
tions of their position and influence in society, than
all the glittering and splendid displays of a Lady
Morgan, or a Madame D'Stael.
The above works arc from the Press of Harper &
Brothers. For [M-riodieals, the typographical execu
tion is of a Siqieriar order. They are to lie obtained
at Barne's Bookstore- twenty-five cents per num
ber.
For the American Democrat.
Dtt. Wm. Guf.es:
As the duty of filling the vacancy in our Congres
sional Delegation, occasioned by the death of Col.
John Miu.kn will shortly devolve upon the commit
tee appointed to fill vacancies, I beg to suggest the
name of Col. WM W. WIGGINS, of Twiggs, as
a suitable*gentleman ID fill the vacancy. Col. W.
has been Solicitor of the Southern Circuit for two
consecutive terms without opposition—has represent
ed the county of Twiggs several times iu the Legis
lature, which stations he has filled with much credit
to himself and usefulness to the public. In whatever
situation iie has been placed, he lias given ample as
surance that the public interest nor the public service
would not be neglected in his hands. Col. W. is
well and favorably known in this section of the
State, and indeed in all Middle, Eastern and South
ern Georgia, as an influential, liberal and intelligent
Democrat, and one upon whom the De no-racy, old
and young, new and old panel men, would center,
; jwith the unanimity of one man. 1 hope, therefore,
• the committee in casting about to fill the vacancy
I mentioned, will not overlook the clai n« of Col. \\ lo
gins upon the party. To the Democracy of Central
Georgia—to the party generally, throughout the
•-tate, the nomination . ( this young an i rising Dem
ocrat cannot e otherwise than acceptable.

Death of Albert Khett, E«q.
The sympathies of our community
have been deeply enlisted, by the unex
pected intelligence of the death of Mr.
Riiltt, on Sunday evening, at his rasi
dcnce on Charleston Neck. He was sud
loiily carried off by a fever, of a lew days
duration, when it was scarcely known,
beyofld His immediate family, that he was
sick. Mr. Hue rr was in the spring-tide
of existence, apparently possessing great
vigor of frame and constitution, when
thus made another striking and melan
choly example of the uncertainty of hu
man life, lie was a distinguished mem
ber of our bar, and also of our State Leg
islature, in which he bore a conspicuous
part and ranked as a most eloquent de
bater. liis talents were of a high order,
and the promise of usefulness and dis
tinction were gathering thick about him.
He had recently removed to this city,
from another part of this State, with the
intention of a permanent residence among
ns, and bade fair to become one of the
most prominent of our citizens. His de
cease has added largely to the inroad
which death has of late years made on
the talent and usefulness of the State.
Soon after the meeting of the Court of
Common Pleas and General Sessions,
yesterday morning, Henry Bailey, Esq.,
Attorney General, announced, in a feel
ing manner, the loss which the bar of
the country had sustained, and moved an
adjournment of the Court as a tribute
due to the memory and character of the
deceased. His Honor Judge 11 1 ch ard
s n expressed his concurrence and sym
pathy with the bar, on the melancholy
occurrence, and ordered the Court to
stand adjourned accordingly.—Charles

Beautiful Cotton,
We yesterday saw a sample of the most
beautiful Cotton we ever ‘dreamed of.”
It was from the 5 bales “entered” by Maj.
John B. Kodgers in this vicinity, for the
prize at the Agricultural Fair of our coun
ty next month. It was we believe, a lit
tle too white, being if possible, as pure as
snow, and really looked as if it grew in a
snow-bank ; its ginning and freeness of
motes are pronounced to be perfect. It
must be alncrst beyond comparison in
quality, as he has been offered 15 cents
per pound for it, by a New Orleans (’ot
ton Merchant. We doubt not that other
samples at the Fair will Ite equal to it, as
several of our liest planters are competit
ors for the Cotton prize.— Memphis A
merican Eagle, 21 st inst.
Mr. Audubon.
The St. Louis Republican announces
tne return of this indefatigable and learn
ed naturalist as follows:
“Mr. Audubon and party arrived last
evening in good health and spirits. He
ascended the Missouri to some distance
above Fort Union, above the Yellow
Stone, and expresses himself much pleas
ed with the excursion, lie discovered a
number of plants, and brought
down with him .a variety of curiosities,
together with a gray fox, badger, deer,
Ac., which they succeeded in taking
alive. In the spring he proposes to ex
tend his trip to the mountains.”
A trial of an immense machine for cut
ting Kail Roads, named by the inventor,
Mr. Cochran, a native of the U. S., “the
Rail Road excavator,” was made lately in
the premises of Messrs. Varrall A Cos.,
the Engine and machine makers, in the
Avenue Trndaine. A large heap of
earth and stones was placed at cne ex
tremity of the yard, and the machine
having been set to work by means of a
steam engine of 20 horse power, forming
part of it,the greater part was cut through
and the rubbish thrown aside in a few
minutes. Several scientific gentlemen
who were present expressed their sur
prise at the tremendous power of the ma
chine. Mr. C. stated that the heap of
earth was not of a sufficiently firm na
ture to afford proper resistance to the cut
ting part of the instrument. When the
opposing body was weighty and strong,
the powers of the machine were, he re
marked, infinitely better tested. One of
these machines is, we understand, now
in use on the Eastern counties railroad.

Night air is said to be injurious to
health. This is absurd, for no people
are so healthy as the gypsies, who sleep
out amid mists, and lie on the damp earth.
Night air is not bad in well drained soils,
and long settled neighborhoods. Never
sleep in a draught of air, and then your
windows may be opened in accordance
with the weather. A free course of air
is the best preventive of colds. Those
who are housed up the most are the most
liable to colds and consumption.

not be wound up in that time. Mr. Stein

it will go one hundred years, without be

COTTON.-It will be recollected that in our review of the

the week, wasquiet, as holders would not yield to the demands
of buyers, who were endeavoring throughout Friday, to bring
down prices; but on Saturday, purchasers were able to ob

consequence was, that a better business was done, anti the
like result attended the operations of !a*t Monday and the
trancactions ot the two days may be put down at 4,3uu bales

On Tuesday, the mail advised of an advance in N. York,

CIRCULAR.
The time lias arrived, when, it has become neces
sary for the Friends ot Free Trade to unite in sus-'
taming their cause. m
The commercial community and agricultural pop
ulation of the country, have been subjected to the
operation of an unequal and unjust Tariff Law. • A
law, admitted by its framers and advocates, to have
been hastily devised and hurriedly acted on, forced
through Congress at the close of an extia session,
and adopted by a siugle casting vote. A law, which
makes forced loans from importers, in the way of
pash duties, amounting on an average toBO per cent,
of their capital. A law, which by heavily taxing ma
terials used in ship building, being equal to 85 per
tun, which, on a vessel of 600 tons, amounts to the
enormous sum ol 83,500 is driving our ships from the
foreign carrying trade. Foreign and cheaper built
vessels monopolize to a great extent, the business
which was formerly done by our ships.
The friends of Free Trade, contend that justice ha
the Merchants, Ship Builders, and Ship Owners, and
to the Farmers of the country, demands an immedi
ate modification of this oppressive Tariff Law. They
contend, that, the Agricultural and Commercial in
terests of the United Siaies arc indissolubly united.
That, the prosperity and extension of trade and com
merce, necessarily promotes the extension and pros
perity of agriculture;
They believe the .pov. tr granted to Congress by
the Constitute >n, to regulate commerce, was not in
tended to be U3cd for us desirm ii*i>.
They believe it bad policy for the government, in
time of profound peace, under pretence of passing a
revenue bill, to pass a bill destroying revenue, and
then borrow money with which to carry on the gov
ernment, and nt the sains time laying the foundation
of a large public debt.
They believe a crisis has been reached in the af
fairs of the country, when tiiese measures must bo
met, resisted and overcome, by the united and effi
cient actum of the friends of free trade.
From the signs of the times, should the advocates
of commercial restriction and unequal taxation, suc
ceed in electing their candidate for the Presidency,
the disastrous result will bfc, that we shall have the
severe grievances of which we. justly complain, fas
tened upon us as the peii-iancnt policy of tho cuun
wy-
To avoid an event fraught vGdi such evil conse
quences, it behooves us to unite with others in the
support of a F’ree Trade Candidate for the Presiden
cy. The time for action is short. In a few more
nionihs, an individual may be selected, as President,
wlios? opinions, power and influence, might be fear
fully ex. rted against us. Or one, whose views, feel
ings and opinions coincide with our own.
Some thing should be done. At the present time,
the Press of this city occupies a position unfavorable
to the success of our cause. The necessity for a
new paper is evident, frum the fdet that at present,
none of the papers of this city advocate to the full
extent, and vim sufficient energy and zeal, the piiu
ciplcs for which »e contend.
A paper of this character seems at the present
juncture indispensable. It should in its cuds and
aims, essentially a FrccTradc paper) and at the same*
time, advocate the claims to office, of men in whoso
undisguised principles, we might place the most iu»
plicii confidence.
A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have
been organized to solicit subscriptions from persons
disposed to contribute means, towards starting in this'
city, as soon as practicable, anew Cotncrcial and
Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same
time of lending its honest and lair support for iho
Presidency, to the candidate v hose opinions arc well
known to be favorable to a liberal Commercial policy.
Writers of acknowledged a iliiy, zeal and indus
try, will have charge of llie Editorial columns.
Talents of the highest order will be engaged to
take charge of the respective Departments of the
paper.
The state of the Money Market, Reports of
Banks, Incorporated Joint Block Companies, Procee
dings of Consrress, and of State Legislatures, in re
lation to all financial affairs, with regular tables of
Exchange Domestic and Foreign, combined wish
genera! groupings of all monetary movements taking
place in all parts of the civilized world, will form a
permanent feature of the paper
Another department of the paper will be devoted
to information concerning the state of the principal
Markets of the world for Agricultural products. Cor
respondence will also be established with the farm
ing and pla lting districts of the interior, in order tn
olnain the latest news of the extent and prospects of
the growing crops.
Your aid iu progioting the objects expressed in
the above circular, L respectfully solicited, with that
of your friends, which can be remitted by mail, in
tho way of subscribers, or other contributions, to the
address of I. F. iluttou, 47 1-2 Wall street, or to E.
B. Hart, 18 Wall sticet. New York.
PROPOSALS.—It is proposed to publish a paper
that in connection with the objects above expressed,
shall also support the claims of the Hon. JOHN C.
CALHOUN, for the Presidency of the United Elates,
subject to the decision of a National Convention of
Delegates, sent directly from the People. .
A Daily and Weekly paper, will be issued, of the
full ordmary size, printed on good paper and with en-'
lire new type. Tha price for the Daily will be So Oil
and for the Weekly, S3 00 per annum, payable in all
cases, in advance.
