leged M Van Buren’s popularity is un bounded, At the election in IS 12, the majority of the Democratic candidate for Governor over the \\ hig candidate was 21,934, and over all the elements of op position, 11,720. At the recent election t ie aggregate Democratic majorities over tlic Whig tickets is about 19,000. But then; are other elements of opposition not taken into this account —the Native Americans and Abolitionists. The for nier polled 8,719 votes in the city of N York. The Abolitionists in the coun ties of Madison, Oneida, Monroe, Jet] r son, and Herkimer, which are all thej-e --tnrns that have readied us, poll and 4,7 - 8 rotes ; rthd there is little doubt that tin ir entire vote throughout the Slate is up ward of 20.000. rhis, united with the Native American vote, leaves th ' Demo cracy in a decided minority of b.; popu lar vote. Contrast these results in States wh. v. ! (he ill-judged zeal of Mr. \an 15 ;; . s friends has attempted to fore-i .'1 ; , opinion, with those attained by toe De mocracy of New Jersey and .'dio.rig.m, where no sucli attempts have b eu mart * Tlic My&terie* of Tartu.' We beg leave to caution the public against this late Novel noticed in our last oil account of its immoral and Abolition tendency. We have not yet read it. 1 it are confirmed in the impression of it im morality, expressed in our last, by what we have since heard of it, aiid.se; u of the comments Oh it; and moreover, a re spected friend has kindly re fern and us to “Chapter IV” of “Part 11, p. 01, in which we find an abominable Abolition story which eught to exclude il entirely from the South. This story is lull ot ridiculous, improbable and impossible incidents, related as facts, respecting the outrages and cruelties ol a plant' r m Florida. As to its impossibility and ut ter falsity, where is to be found in Flori da, at a “ residence situated on the border of the tea, fifteen or twenty leagues from the nearest city,” such a “dungeon as that so often mentioned, and winch, from what is related of it, might well he sup posed by the people of “Paris,” to 1 e equal to the worst in their old Bastile. — False, however, as is this audacious story, and impossible or improbable the blasphemous and atrocious circumstances related, it is well calculated to excite in the young or inexperienced reader, un able to detect its falsity, a deep and last ing horror of our country and its domes tic institutions. It otight to be excluded from the South, and we trust those copies ot the work sent to Columbia and other Southern cities, will be promptly return ed, with a caution to the publishers not to send here again, their Abolition slan ders. To the Messrs. Harper our feel ings are most friendly, but tins is not the first time we have had to complain of such outrages from them ; and we now warn them that if they do not desist from them, we shall feel compelled to exert ovrselves to the very utmost, to in duce our people to exclude oil their pub lications from the South, as the only safe mode of guarding against such insulting, and dangerous assaults. They make it one of she merits of this edition, in Us competition with others, that it is ‘ it ith out brigement,' but it would have been fmt a slight manifestation of gratitue for what they owe to the South, had they cut out this infamous portiou of it : wniie in moral point of view, it would doubt less have indicated more regard for the welfare of the country, to have cutout the whole. Jmitiens • Telescape. The New York True Sun gives the following account ot a I'elcsco; ■ now ::i course ot construction. “The Earl of Rosso is a gentleman greatly addicted to science, and Ins seat in King’s county, Ireland, about S7 rinfos from Dublin, is the scene of his active operations. On the lawn adjacent to the Castle, there is now standing a retire! »ng telescope with a speculum <>t three fort in diameter, and a focal distance of twen ty seven feet. It was constructed more than ten years ago, and ever since he has been attempting one on a larger scale.—- The first conclusion at which he arrived was, that the only proper metals for a speculum are copper and tin, an I lie rxed the proportions thus ; copper 5c9 to 126 5 tin. Os these lie melted three torn in three largo cast Iron crucibles, the plans of his furnaces and the mode ot heating them were all new. Each crucible was exposed to an intense heat for niti t; n hours, when il was lifted from the furn ace by means of a powerful crane. Al ter the metal .was cast into tile mould, which was made of bands oi hoop iron, edge upwards, it was drawn by a capstan •into a heated oven and built in, where it remained for sixteen week?. Alter it was perfectly anm-nlcd, tlie j greatest work of all was to grind its sur face into the parabolic curve. This curve is one which lias ! .cn found su perior to all others for the telescopic sp. e ulum because it reflects more of the- inci dent rays in the direction oi the focus than any other kind. Lord Kosse, by a very ingenious contrivance and the aid of a steam engine, succeed and in accom plishing this also, after an incessant po lishing for six weeks. The tube into which this speculum is to be, fitted is 52 feet long, with a diamc- 1 ter of seven feet. The whole will be so adjusted that it can be moved easily by one man. The power of the Instrument will be such, that an object the size of a house will# l>e distinctly visible in the moon. The building in which it is to be placed is already nearly completed, and we now look forward forsoine splen did discoveries in astronomy. Sffi’io Tie V Y. Tribune says: “Specie is f .

Corrcjpoq&Dce of t'.c Augusta Constitutionalist, Nov. ‘2Bth. Milledoevillf., Nov. 21, 1813. Yesterday in the Senate a resolution offered by Mr. Reid, of Monroe, was ta ken up. By this resolution the commit tee on Finance is instructed to report a bill authorizing the sale ol the Western and Atlantic Kail Road. An animated debate arose, in which Messrs. Sayre, Miller, Dougherty, Foster, Cone, lb-id, Mose'y, Bartow, and others participated. The resolution was agreed to, by yeas 11, na vs 12.

I am aware that this vote is not a test of the sensogof the Senate in regard to the prosecution of the road; but to me it is ominous of the difficulty which -will have to be surmounted by the friends of internal improvements, before they can prevail on the Legislature to appropriate means for the gradual completion of that road. With little additional expense, as compared with what has been already expended on the road, it can be made profitable to the people of the State—l say profitable to the whole people ol' the State, taken in mass. It was argued, by those Senators who supported the resolu tion, that the road, when completed and in full operation, would not boa source of revenue to the State, and, therefore, they were for selling it or discontinuing it. 1 take the broad ground that the road should not, on any account, he made a source of revenue to the State, and that it should be made profitable so far only as to pay the necessary expense for re- pairs, the interest on the money borrowed for its construction, and tiie gradual ex tiugnishment of the principal ofthe debt. This is all that legislators and statesmen ■hould aim at. On the other hand, if the road is not a source of revenue to the State, it cannot fail to he of incalcu lable benefit to the people, individually and coi actively. When the people of three-toil rths ofthe State will have a sate and expeditious mode of conveying their products to a market, and of bringing back till tiie commodities and produce of foreign countries; will they not be ben etlttcd l Will not their land increase in value, which is now elmost valueless? \V til not individmfl wealth accumulate i;i proportion to the accumulation of pro duce, and the means of forwarding it to a market ? If individual wealth increases by these operations, of what consequence is it that tiie treasury should remain empty, or lie supplied with just enough means too meet the necessary expenses of Government ? 1 will ask the people of Georgia, this simple question. Which lis best: that your public treasury should I be full, and you, yourselves, miserably ; poor, or that you should be wealthy in i die productions of your lands, and in the means el'selling them, and your treasury filled with enough of money to pay tlie necessary expenses of the Government? \\ hen a people are rich, industrious, de riving wealth from successful agriculture ami interchange of productions with for eign countries, can the public treasury be ever in want of means to defray tlie cost of Government? The Western and Atlantic Rail Road was never intended to be made a source of revenue to the I Slate. The intention was to facilitate tlie transportation of produce; and this proposition to me is so clear and sive, that, should that road be ever com pleted, and the income derived from it, ' for freight and passengers, be more than ] what may be required to keep it in repair, to pay the interest on the principal of tlie cost, and reduce gradually that principal, 1 would certainly recommend a reduc tion in the charges for transportation of produce, until the Income is_merely suffi cient to meet tlie necessary expenses of the road when in full operation. By ta king this view of the important subject under consideration, 1 shall Ire opposed to the sale ol tlie road, and to placing it in the hands of private individuals. Be ing owned by the State, its operations will-subservfe the interest of the people, and it will be managed for that exclusive pmqiose. If owned by private individu als, the exclusive and first object will lie to derive as large benefits as possible, without consulting the interest, conven ience, an 1 advantage of those who will ha'c to use the road lor travelling and the transportation ol produce and foreign commodities. * 1 have extended my remarks further than I intended at first; I must here stop, though I have a great deal more to say upon the subject. I shall have to re sume it when the committee report a bill m accordance with the resolution. I hope, however, jhat a motion of recon sideration will be made in the Senate this morning and prevail, and that the reso lution will lx? rejected if again taken up. Yesterday, in the Senate, also, the res olution offered by Mr. Bovvers of Effing ham, were taken up: that the Peniten tiary system should be abolished, and that the Judiciary committee be instruct ed to report a bill accordingly. The res olutions were made the order for Satur day. - A joint select committe has been ap pointed, to take into consideration, the subject of the subscription, by the State, of $200,000 to the stock of the Monroe Rail Road Company, as mentioned in Gov. McDonald’s Message at the open ing of the session. The bill to take the census of the State in 1845 passed the Senate. lam sorry that the projected amendments were not offered, and that the statistical informa tion so much anticipated by me, and so desirable, will not be obtained. The pro visions of the bill arc merely to take an enumeration of the inhabitants, and the number of deaf and dumb in the State. Mr. Spalding laid on the table a pre amble and resolutions on national poli tici—a national bank, tariff, &c. On motion to print them the yeas were 30, nays 44 : so the Senate refused to print the resolutions. I shall try to get a copy of them. 1 send for publication a message from the Governor, transmitting to the House of Representatives, the information with in his reach of the debt contracted for the Western and Atlantic Rail Road, the money expended on said road, &.c. The stateriients accompanying this message give a pretty accurate view of the public debt, of the interest thereon, and of the amount of money expended on the State Rail Road. According to these state ments, it appears that the whole debt of the State, for the road, in bonds issued, and actually in circulation, amounts to $1,595,385 77. In the general state ment of the condition oU the Central Bank, on the 6th of this month, publish ed already in the Constitutionalist, it ap pears that the amount of 8 per cent, bonds issued to that day, is $520,114 60, and that the amount of notes of the institu tion, then in circulation, is $673,522. All these items constitute, with the ex ception of some small amounts of scrip, the whole liabilities of the State of Geor gia. In the House of Representatives a bill was rejected by a large majority, givuig more time to the debtors of the Central Bank to pay their debts, under certain conditions. House also, a bill was passed for the pardon of Nathaniel Green, con victed of murder, in Lumpkin county, in March last. This Green had killed his own son. In mitigation of the crime it was alleged that he was mentally imbe cile, and subject to fits of insanity. Mili.kdgevii.le, Nov. 25, 1823. A motion was made in the Senate yes terday morning to reconsider the vote in regard to the resolution authorising the sale of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road, which had been adopted the day before. The motion of reconsideration prevailed, yeas 47, nays 37. It is prob able that the resolution will not again be called up. It is with pleasure 1 have to record the passage of the Constitutional Bill for re ducing the number of members of the Legislature. It passed the Senate yes terday by yeas 75, nays 10. As I be lieve that no attempt will be made in the Senate this morning to reconsider this vote, and as it has passed the House, the provisions of this act are now parts of the Constitution, and the Legislature of 1815 will be constituted in accordance with this amendment of our organic law. The bill passed tlie House by yeas 166, nays 14, and the Senate by yeas 75, nays 10: lam pleased also to record that no party feeling had any influence in the adoption of the measure, though such a feeling may prevail in carrying it out. It is with equal pleasure I have to state, that the Senate, yesterday, passed a bill to repeal the act of 1842, which re moved all prohibition to the introduction of slaves in Georgia from other States. On the passage of this bill the yeas were 50, nays 30. The Senate took up the bill of the House for repealing the law, commonly called the 4 month law, in regard to jus tices courts, and passed it. yeas 67, nays 16. The House has passed a bill in regard to the election of electors of President and Vice President of the United States. The bill is entitled to establish regula tions for such elections without the pres ence of the legislature, which may not be in session in 1844. The most im portant provision of the hill relates to the manner of filling up any vacancy that might occur in the electoral college, oth erwise than by the Legislature. This power by the bill, is given to the electors themselves, and in attendance at tlie seat of Government. In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Duna gnn introduced a bill dividing the State in Senatorial Districts, and designating the counties entitled to two representa tives each, according to the constitution as recently amended. According to this biil the counties named and designated as entitled to two representatives each, are thirty-seven in number, namely, Bibb, Burke, Clark, Chatham, Coweta, Colum bia, DcKalb, Elbert, Franklin, Greene, Gwinnett, Habersham, Hall, Harris, Han cock, Henry, Houston, Jackson, Jasper, Jones, Monroe, Morgan, Muscogee, Mer iwether, Newton, Oglethorpe, Pike, Put nam, Richmond, Stewart, Troup, Tal bot, Upson, Walton, Warren, Washing ton, and Wilkes. The other fifty-six counties are entitled to one member each, which make, in all, 130 members. The Senatorial Districts are constituted as follows: 1. Chatham, 2. Effingham and Bullock, 3. Scriven and Emanuel, 4. Burke and Jefferson, 5. Richmond and Columbia, 6. Wilkes and Lincoln, 7. Ilanc'ock and Warren, 8. Oglethorpe and Elbert, 9. Taliaferro and Greene. 10. Madison and Franklin, 11. Hall and Jackson, 12. Habersham an.d Rabun, 13. Lumpkin and Union, 14. Gilmer and Murray, 15. Walker and Dade, 16. Chattooga and Floyd, 17. Cass and Cherokee, 18. Paulding and Cobb, 19. Forsyth and Gwinnett, 20. Walton and Clark. 21. DcKalb and Henry, 22. Newton and Morgan, 23. Butts and Jasper, 24. Putnam and Baldwin, 25. Monroe and Jones, 26. Bibb and Twiggs, 27. Washington and Wilkinson, 28. Laurens and Montgomery, 29. Tattnall and Appling, 30. Bryan and Liberty, 31. Mclntosh and Glynn, 32. Wayne and.Camden, 33. Ware and Lowndes, 34. Telfair and Irwin, 35. Pulaski and Dooly, 36. Houston and Crawford, 37. Upson and Pike, 38. Campbell and Fayette, - 39. Carroll and Heard, 40. Coweta and Meriwether, 41. Muscogee and Marion, 42. Talbot and Macon, 43. Stewart and Sumpter, 44. I! andolph and Lee, 45. Early and Baker, 46. Decatur and Thomas, 47. Harris and Troup. Many substitutes to this bill will no doubt be presented. The General Assembly proceeded yes terday afternoon to the election of a state director tor the Bank of the State of Geor gia. Mr. Rozer was elected. In the House yesterday the Judiciary Committee made a report on the organi sation of the Supreme Court, accompa nied with a long bill, which was read the first time. I have my doubts as to the organization of such a court at this session. The bill of the Senate, extending the charter of the Marine and Fire Insurance Bank of Savannah, was taken up in the House, and a debate arose upon it, which occupied the House until near 6 o’clock last, evening, when the bill passed by 108, nays 64. A motion may be made this morning for a reconsideration. Du ring the debate the whole banking sys tem was passed in review ; but whether new facts and new ideas were elicited during the discussion, is more than I can say. The banks were unmercifully a bused, and unreasonably defended, with out throwing any light in the path of those who, like myself, wish to see their way clear of obstructions. The following are the preamble and resolutions introduced in the Senate by Mr. Spalding of Mclntosh, alluded to iu my last letter: Whereas, Under the complex form of Government which we have adopted for ourselves, many of the attributes of sovereignty are delegated to the Federal Government, while others, not delegated, are reserved to the States, thereby plac ing the Federal and Stare Governments in antagonistic positions, and requiring from each tlie exercise of the utmost vig ilance : so that the balance of power may be maintained : so that we may not lapse into a consolidated republic, on the one hand, nor yet break into independent re publics, on tlie other. And, Whereas, For the attainment of this great object, it is proper that each of the high cohtracting partiesshould make known its griefs, whenever it’feels itself aggrieved—should protest in measured, but yet earnest language, whenever it feels its prerogative encroached upon— so that the encroaching party may pause in its career, and the blessings of this un ion, inherited from our fathers, may be enjoyed by us, and transmitted to our posterity. In vic*w of these considera tions, be it re,solved by the Senate iyid House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General Assembly met: 1. That the article of the Constitution, which declares that the pouters not dele gated to the United States by the Con stitution, nor prohibited to it by the Stales, are reserved to the States re spectively, furnishes the only safe rule for the interpretation of that instrument. 2. That, inasmuch as the Constitution vests no power in Congress to pass acts of incorporation for the whole Union, (on tho contrary, a motion to that effect was made and lost in the Convention,) it is therefore manifest that the incorporation of the United States would be without any warrant, and a dangerous encroach ment upon the reserved rights of the States. 3. That the imposition of protective Or discriminating duties for the benefit of particular branches of industry, is only a specious contrivance by which society is taxed for tlie benefit es tlie favored in terests ; a contrivance which violates the spirit of the Constitution, and which, ad dressinp itself to the most sordid feelings of our nature, has a tendency to render the legislation of Congress sectional ra ther than national, and which, if pre served in, will weaken and may perhaps break assunder the bonds which unite us as a confederated republic. 4. That we view the attempt to destroy the veto power of the President, as the boldest advance towards the establish ment of a consolidated republic, since the formation of the* Federal Government, and that we should consider the passage of such an amendment, as a virtual abro gation of the Constitution, and as the certain prelude’to anarthy and civil war. '5. That bis Excellency, the Governor, is hereby requested to forward copies of the foregoing resolutions, to both Housos of the Federal Congress. The wliigs had a meeting on Thurs day night, and nominated Gen. D. L. Clinch, of Camden, as their candidate for Congress, at the election in January next. Gen. J. W. A. Sanford is the dem ocratic candidate. So we have two gen erals in the field, and we shall see what system of strategy will be more success ful. Millf.doevillf., Nov. 25, 1543. Not much was done to-day in either branch of the Legislature--both adjourn ed at about 12 o’clock to Monday. In the Senate the resolution respecting the abolition of Penitentiary punishment was taken up, but after a short debate it was laid on the table for the present. The bill to extend the time for taking grants for drawers in the land and gold lotteries of 1821, 1827, and 1832, was taken up, and after much debate, and many amendments had been offered, the bill was referred to the special committee. In the House the motion to reconsider the vote of the day lie fore, on the passage of the bill of the Senate to extend the oharter of the Marine and Fire Insurance Bank, produced a protracted debate, which was animated and interesting. The motion for reconsideration was re jected, yens 58, nays 106. So the bill has passed both Houses. AyHMsasAisr EDsaaoastjysL WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1813. 0 FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, FOR VICE PRESIDENT: LEIVI WbODBIIKY. FOR CONGRESS, JOIIA W. A. *ANFORD, OP BALDWIN. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. We are requested to state that there will Ik? a Meeting of the Democratic Par ty of Bibb, at the Court House, in this city at 2 o’clock, this afternoon, to choose a Delegate to represent them in the Dem ocratic Convention, to be held at Mil ledgeville next Monday. It is hoped that the meeting will be generally attended by our party from town and country. “Come one, come all.” Tlic Presentments of Ihe Grand ,'ury. it is to be regretted that the Jury in their Presentments, forgot to denounce the master nuisance, namely, the exist ence of such a bungling contrivance as tlie Inferior Court, for tlie administration of law and justice. The appointment of a respectable member of the bar, not over burdened with practice, with a sal ary of a thousand dollars per annum, and a clerk at a salary, reasonably apportion ed to the time and labor expended in his office, with the assistance of an honest j ury. won id afford at ri biuial more econom ical, and more competent and abundantly more subservient to the distribution of justice atid the true interests of the coun try, than tlie present cumbrous relic of judiciary barbarism, which is with com mendable propriety, called an Inferior Court. The Judge being paid for his services, would be strictly responsible for his proceedings. This, in all such cases is an essentially important circum stance, for every day’s experience shews that when there is no responsibility, there is generally proportionate negligence. As their Honors of the Gram! Jury did not include the abolition of the Inferior Court system in their recommendations, we beg leave to suggest that our fellow citizens of the county, mindful ol their own important interests, take the earliest opportunity to convene at the Court- House, to consider the subject, and me monilize the General Assembly now in session, to take the necessary preliminary steps, for relieving in due time, the dif ferent counties from the nuisance of In ferior Courts, and furnishing a substitute better adapted to ensure more effectually the ends of justice, and more consistent with the intelligence and dignity of the State. There are, we believe, but few States in the Union but our own, that retain this clumsy opprobrium on their jurisprudence. They manage these matters better in the comparatively new State of Alabama. The Old North State. We are rejoiced with the evidenc. that meets us on every hand of ft], Calhoun’s popularity in that noble Commonwealth, —every Democratic j„ per we receive from that State gives the most (indubitable proofs that Mr. c ai . houn is the first choice of the democra cy of that State. Preliminary meeting have been recently held in several of the counties to choose delegatas to the Stat> Convention which meets at Raleigh c.i the 14th instant, to nominate a candidate for Governor, and appoint two delegates for the State at large to the National Convention at Baltimore. Below «- 0 subjoin three resolutions adopted by the counties of Brunswick and Mecklenburg Brunswick. “Resolved , That we recognize j n John C. Calhoun, the uncompromis ing defender of the Republican Govern ment, that with him to steer the ship of state, we have nothing to fear at home or abroad, liberal and just in all his views, asking nothing but what is strictly right aiui submitting to nothing that is wrong; with him, low duties, no debt, retrench ment and economy, would receive their due influence; we cannot too strongly press his claims on the convention.” Mocktrnljiirg. The Democratic Party of Mecklenburg and Union counties, having heretofore expressed publicly their choice of a can didate, for the Presidency, it is only ne cessary for us now to say, that our opin ions and preference on this subject have undergone no change. Time and free discussion have tendedonlyto strengthen our attachment to, and admiration of JOHfNj C. CALHOUN,and confirmonr expressed opinion that he is emphatically the man upon whom the democracy should rally in 18U for the Presidency “ Jlesolved, That our first choice for the Vice Presidency of the United States is the Hon. LEVI WOODBURY, of New-Hampshire, the unwavering demo crat, the profound statesman, and upright patriot. “CALHOUN and WOOD BURY” is the ticket of our choice ;—yet, we pledge ourselves to abide the decision ol a fairly constituted democratic conven tion.” “Old Mecklenburg” already famous as the birth place of the first declaration of American Independence, the cradle and nucleus of revolutionary principles in old North State.—lt was there that the first glimmerings of that spirit which casta halo of light and glory around that era of our history, Hashed upon the world. The soldier turns to the iron cradle of Ajacio with a feeling akin to idolatory. The Christian feels strength ened in his faith by a visit to the sanctu aries of his religion—and the scholar loves to linger among the fallen glories ofthe Coliseum an 1 Parthenon; and why may not the American patriot turn to Mecklenburg with feelings of reverence and admiration, —she has shown that the fires kindled in the hearts of her rc volutionary.siresf yet burns brightly in the bosoms of her children, ami that her sons of ’43, are worthy descendants ot their gallant and patriotic ancestry— the men of May 20ih, 1775—she has further evinced her purity and attach ment to republican principles and free government, Ly recommending the good old republican system of sending dele gates to the National Convention by dis tricts.—The democracy ofthe old North State, standing as they do in close prox imity with the Virginia Junto, and the venerable Nestor ofthe Richmond En quirer are yet pure as the springs of their own native hills, and fixed and unchang ing as her mountains. They are yet uncontaminated by the juglery of the Albany regency—and will not adopt the hybrid system of Virginia, in choosing delegates to the National Convention Dignified and unobtrusive in her bear ing, firm and unchanging in her attach ments-to the great principles of civil li berty and regulated government. The old North State will be the last to sur render her own, or infringe upon the rights of others. She despises all tricke ry and marches straight forward to her ends. Will not her children who have strayed from the land of their nativity, render obedience to her voice ? Like the absent Spartans at the command o' their country. O’ConiK'll and Abolition. It is impossible, to contemplate with-' out deep regret and the most serious ap prehension, the ferocious fanaticisms, that extraordinary man is pursuing 011 the subject of abolition in this country- Does not O’Connel perceive, do not those who sympathize with his views, that his agitating, disorganizing and in cendiary attempts to involve his country men in the odium and horror with which abolition is identified, in half the Union, and is adapted to place them, their cler gy and their church, in a position #' larmingly hostile to the residue of the population. It is difficult to say whether CH °n nell’s policy in this particular, should I |C most reprobated for its meddling wicked ness, or contemned for its arrogant ab surdity. Want of space, precludes for tne p“ sent, further remarks on this veryg w ' c subject.
