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.

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 I. season, owing altogether to tin* more than qvud- Bil.-.l facilities, which the co npletion of the Central Bute has afforded to the trading community gem r- Bllv.

Hut time, •■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 mond Enquirer, in which it appears that Mr. Gid dings Ira* made some interesting disclosures of no 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 ion among us, as regards Henry Clay; and but one course of action for us to pursue, in opposition to the hostile and seditious attitude he has thought proper to assume, in relation to our domestic institu tions, Toli ica!

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.

"Million t for defence," as the dxrkcy cried when the firmer’s dog was alter him. 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 ton Courier. 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. Galignani's (Paris) Messenger. 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. By putting a piece of lump sugar the size of a walnut into a tea pot you will make the tea infuse in one half tlie time. Launch of the Sloop of War Portsmouth. We learn from the New Hampshire Gazette that the Sloop of \\ ar Ports mouth, was launched from tlie navy yard at Portsmouth, Monday formoon. She is one of the largest class of sloops of war, built under the direction of Mr. Barker, and is much admired as a speci men of naval architecture. the Charleston Patriot. Almost Perpetual Motion. We copied a paragraph recently de scribing a twelve month clock exhibited at the Fair of the New York Institute, the invention of a Mr. Crane. We pos sess a townsman whose powers of inven tion in this lme of Art, fur surpasses the ingenuity of Mr. Crane. UiancH SteinL Clock and Watchma ker, in Meeting ptreot, opposite the Uni ted Stales Court House, had manufac tured inCluirleston only a year ago, a [Clock, that ran lor one year, without winding up; this Clock was its own pendulum and gave on its face, the times at London, Paris and Charleston, it was raffled out for sixty chances at five dol lars each, and is now in England. Ur. Stein is working at. present, at a Clock which is moved by a spring and can al so he propelled by weight; it hits only four wheels and its mechanism is very simple; it makes only 4 A-4 evolutions during the term of ten years, and it need not be wound up in that time. Mr. Stein avers, that if he puts an additional wheel into this Clock with one hundred teeth ; it will go one hundred years, without be ing wound up, and nevertheless tlie whole Clock wants only five pounds weight to lie kept going. Mr. Stein will have a clock of the above description ready in four months time, and will then give all friends of curious mechanism an opportunity to judge for themselves.

WARREN, One door above Geo. A. Kimberly’* Hat Store. Macon, Nov. 1, ldlJ. 24-ts 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.

F. iluttou, 47 1-2 Wall street, or to E. B. Hart, 18 Wall sticet. New York.
