Democratic Association,
Our Hall has been the scene of several
large and enthusiastic meetings during
the past week, notwithstanding the ab
sr’iee of a considerable portion of our
population uponcrandsof business,health
;id pleasure. On Tuesday evening af
!ji supper the association assembled on
masse in front of the Washington Hall,
aid escorted the Chatham delegation who
Id arrived that evening from Savannah,
d.nvn to the Association Room, where
after the meeting was organized and three
cheers given for old Chatham which was
returned by our friends from Savannah,
\v:tli three for democratic Bibb. The
association was gratified with an eloquent,
Inspiring, and patriotic address from each
of the following gentlemen. Mr Loyd,
Judge D’Lyon and Mr. Griffin, which
ware received with the most enthusiastic
v.'plause by the audience. The meeting
ben adjourned, and attended our Chat
man friends back to their lodgings and
dispersed after giving throe hearty cheers
more for the gallant democracy of Old
I 'lmtham. The occasion was celebrated
y the firing of cannon and the inspiring
influence of a fine Band of music.
On the return of the delegates from the
Springs last Friday evening, they were
met by the association at die Monroe
.ib.il Road depot, and escorted totheHo
i . and after refreshments, to the Dcmo
nitic Hall. Messrs D’Lyon, Griffin and
Loyd, at the invitation of the President,

nmn addressed the assembled democracy
in eloquent, truthful, and soul-stirring
unguage, which was responded to in the
most enthusiastic manner After the
meeting was adjourned, the association
’ gain accompanied our friends to their
quarters, and took leave of th"m after ex
changing a thousand good wishes and
congratulations.
May we often have such re-unions with
mir democratic brethren of die seaboard.
On Saturday evening the association
eras again called together, to make ar
rangements for the approaching demo
cratic mass convention. After the
meeting was organized, and the business

'l'lie Messenger has at length waked
up to the startling fact that the democracy
and Texas are not yet dead ; and in a la
bored article endeavors to connect togeth
er Texas and disunion. The Messenger
in bitterly abusive language denounces
the leaders of the nullification party of
’32 and ’3 as parasites of John C. Cal
houn. Now if these men were base and
degraded parasites to Mr. Calhoun or
any other man, let us inquire who they
were, besides these singled out by the
Messenger. Were they not John Mc-
Pherson Berrien, who said in this Court
house that “ the tariff was as injurious to
the cotton planter as a storm which de
stroyed half his crop,” and who made th
intemperate declaration “ that those who
did not embrace the doctrine of nullifica
tion would have to emigrate from the
State.” W. Crosby Dawson, “ who did
not enjoy the luxury of a pine cradle, but j
was rocked in a gum.” T. Butler King
who said that Henry Clay tried to bribe
the northern manufacturers with a SSO,
000,000 U. S. Bank. That Henry Clay,
leagued with the Bank and the Tariff
would convert this union into an unmit
igated despotism or break it into frag
ments. Eugenius A. Nisbet, who said
“we shall in vain expect the respect due
to consistent politicians, if we become
the advocates of a National Bank.”—
Geo. W. Crawford,the present whig Gov
ernor of this State, Clias. J. Jenkins, whig
elector of the Bth dist. Indeed all the
! leaders of the present whig party were
prominent advocates of nullification.—
Among the most distinguished and zeal
l.ous advocates of nullification in this State
; were Judge Christopher B. Strong, the
whig elector of this dist., and Washing
ton Poe, their chosen candidate for
Congress. “ These, these are the leaders
of the party in. the language of the Mes
senger, “who in the days of Nullification
scoffed and scorned and spat upon the
Union men of that day, and derided them
as submissionists and soap-tails; and
who would, if they corn'd) have scourged
them with rods of iron and whips of
scorpions into subordination.'"’
What will onr renders say when’ they
1 are told the undeniable fact, that the
| Georgia Journal, the Recorder, the Co
lumbus Enquirer, (and among the fore
most was the Georgia Messenger!) were
all strong nullification papers. The
Messenger proposes several queries in
reference to this matter, of which vve can
only say in their own language, that
“When such men can ask such ques-;
tions, Ih* v certainly must have lost nil!
recollection of the past or lie endowed !
with the impudence of the devil.”
Skies Bright.
From Upson, Harris, mid the adjoin
■ ilife counties, we have the most cheering
j intelligence. -The honest men of the
whig party are coming out of Babylon.
| 'The friends of the country and of the
1 south, are throwing off old Ilarry and his
! heresies, and rallying to the standard of
: young Hickory and Texas. Some of the
: oldest and most re-pectablecitizensof these
j counties who have hitherto voted with
the whig party, have left them, being un
willing longer to act with a party who
.are hostile to the best interests of the
south. Our friends are in high spirits
throughout the district. Chappell will
lead the anti-Texas whig candidate 15-
00 votes.
South Carolina expelled from the Union,
We understand that one of the whig
oiators at Clinton, two weeks since, de
clared himself in favor of expelling South
Carolina from the Union. The gentle
man cannot claim the merit of originali
ty for this opinion; Adams, Slade,
Birney and Giddings, have long since
expressed similar views, and if the gen
tleman wishes to be considered the mov
ing spirit and anew leader of whiggery,
he must strike upon anew sensation. But
ifhc only nspirv.s to be an bumble and Sl| l J_
missive follower in the wake of the north
ern leaders, then is lie on the right track.
Renunciation of Whigery.
it is impossible for ns to keep pace
with the continued renunciations of
whigery which we meet on every hand-
We scarcely open a paper from any sec
tion of the country, but we find a long
list of names taking leave of the great
whig party. We publish in to-day’s pa
per, a short letter from Judge l’ratt, of
New York, in which lie says, that, “ 1
have since 1840, in conjunction with a
liout two hundred thousand other citizens
altered my mind as to men and mea
sures, since that time.” Whigery is on
its last legs, and will topple down in No
vember next, never to rise again.
Jir. Bcrrier.
This political weathercock seems to
delight in exhibiting to the world the
extent, variety and completeness ol his
political tergiversation. He now con
temptuously derides free trade and nulli
fication, with the cool effrontery ol a man
who had not grown grey in die advoca
cy of both. As the chairman of a com
ii fit tec of the free trade invention os-
sembled in Philadelphia in IS3I, he used
the following powerful and eloquent
language, in advocating the very doctrine
he now contemns as illusory and dema
gogical.
“ We arc the advocates of free trade.
The argument which sustains it rests
upon a proposition which may not be de
nied. It is the unquestionable right of
every individual toapply his labor tfccapi
tal in the mode which he may conceive
best calculated to promote his own inter
est. It is to the interest of the public that
ho should so apply it. He understands
better .ban it can be understood by the
government, what will conduce to his
own benefit; and since the majority of
individuals will, if properly protected,
be disposed to follow their interests, such
an application of their industry and capi
tal must produce in the result, the great
est amount of public good. Let it be re
membered that the question relates ex
clusively to the application of capital.—
It cannot be generated by an act of leg
islation. ***** Laws, which protect
by bounty any peculiar species o 4 labor,
cannot be said to encourage American
industry that is directed to various ob
jects. These laws favor only a single
class, and since the bounty is not suppli
ed by the government, but taken from
the pocket of the individual, the protec
tion which is given to one species of la
bor, is so given at the expense of every
other.”
Now we ask the particular attention to
the following extract, fromarecent speech
at the Boston Clay Club :
“Depend upon foreign supply! Sir,
we should have, if their doctrine prevail
ed, no means of purchasing that supply.
This is the inevitable result of the argu
ment of the demagogue which we have
heard day after day, in Congress, and
which is falsely designated by the title of
friendship to the whole people and hos
tility to taxation of the citizens ! How is
it, then, that a great people like ours
should be vascillating|betvveen free trade
and protection to the domestic industry
jol the country? (Cheers.) Free trade !
| A phantom which can never be grasped
—a fallacy which is uttered but to de
ceive ! (Great applause.) A tiling prac
| ticallv for the advantage of foreign na
tions—ruinous to, if I may so term it,
our own holy, brotherhood. (Loud
j Cheers.)
Was ever a man so completely con
j victcd of demagoguism and wilful decep
tion before in the long annals of party
trickery and tergiversation ?
Judgs Berrien asks, “ how is it, that a
great people like ours, should be vascilla
ting between free trade and protection,”
&c. &c. In the already classic lan
guage of the Messenger, we answer—
“ Such men to ask such questions, must
have lost all recollection of the past, or
be endowed with the impudence of the
devil.”
We commend the following extract
from the Boston Liberator, a federal abo
, iition print, as an evidence of the feeling
of that party toward the democratic nonr
inations. This is not by any means, the
J first or only specimen of that feeling
which goes to'show that the abolitionists
of the north are opposed in masse, to
the election of the democratic candidates,
and that they are rallying to a man upon
the tariff and anti-Texas candidates.—
Let the people of the south ponder well
upon these things :
“ The pirate flag of slavery is now the
democratic banner. The democratic par
ty is wholly enlisted on the side of south
ern oppression and cruelty; if has no
northern phase. Men who can support
it, under such circumstances, are the ene
mies of God and the human race. .It is
covered all over with uncleanness and
blood. It has stolen the sacred names
of liberty and democracy, in the same
spirit and with the same intent that Sa
tan assumes the garb of an angel of light.
A more profligate and desperate party
never existed on earth. We use strong
terms, but they are called for by a righte
ous moral indignation in view of facts
as indisputable as they are appalling.”
And, again, here is the language of a
whig paper in Rhode Island :
From the Hhodt Island Transcript, whig paper.
“Every colored citizen, therefore, in
the state and Union, has the greatest pos
sible interest in securing the election of
Henry Ciay. MR. (’LAY IS THE
ONLY MAN WHO HAS PLEDG
El) HIMSELF OPENLY ANI)
1 CANDIDLY TO SUPPORT THEM
IN THEIR JUST ANI) EQUITA
BLE RIGHTS. HENRY CLAY
WILL. THEREFORE, RECEIVE
SEVEN HUNDRED VOTES FRO.M
THE COLORED CITIZENS OF
RHODE ISLAND.”
“ We do not pretend to sav, nor do we
believe, that Mr. Clay is an Abolitionist,
or that he ever will be. But we ask, is
that man the right candidate for south
ern men to vote for, around whose name
is sou nd rally ingal 1 the northern ahol it ion
ists and every free negro? If cur son th
em whig friends will shut their eyes to
the importance of the Texas question,
these men, at least, appear to see it; and
as their most anxious wish day and night
is to carry out their reckless views on the
subject of slaverj, they oppose annexa
tion, which they think would strengthen
the south aud the better enable her to de
fend her institutions. Look to it in time!
Advice to a Mother.—A child is

We have been favored with the follow
ing extract of a letter from a strong whig
of this State, and now in Vermont, to a
staunch whig in this place. This ex
tract will, vve think, convince any ingen
uous mind of the position in the pending
contest es that ‘Marge and respectable
portion of the American people” which
Mr. Clay has labored so strenuously to
conciliate.
“In the political world things look bright
for Clay although Folk will tret a larger
vote than we anticipated He will get
New Hampshire and Maine; and if Mr.
Wright consents to be the Democratic
candidate for Governor, Folk will get
New York. The annexation question
is making strange results. The ah li
tion fools are all opposed to annexation ,
and are very active. This has caused
many of our friends to become strong
annexation men.''
The subjoined extract of a letter to the
editor from a gentleman at the Indian
Springs will doubtless be read with inter
est by our patrons. In the opinion en
tertained by the writer of the polite and
courteous Bryan AV. Collier,
Esq. vve most cordially acquiesce. With
Mr. Collier vve are personally acquainted;
having ourself partaken of his generous
hospitality; and can assure our friends
that should they determine to visit the
Springs this summer, no efforts vvill.be
spared on the part of Mr. Collier and his
amiable and excellent lady (whom all
agree in commending for her kind atten
tion to her guests) to promote the comfort
of their visitors. We sincerely hope this
gentleman will meet with the success to
i which his enterprise and energy so cmin-
I ently entitle him:
“ 1 reached this spot on Friday after
noon last after many and troublesome
mishaps—disappointments growing out
of the miserable stage arrangements, bad
roads, etc.—these call for improvement,
and 1 do hope another season may not
find them without a change for the better.
1 however soon forgot the little annoyan
! ces after my arrival, meeting with so ma
| ny agreeable things in the way of “ home
comforts,” company, and good water.—
j “Mine host” is a polite, agreeable, and
I accommodating gentleman, who well
knows the very essence of catering to the
tastes of connoisseurs in the way of vi
ands and women, llis house is most
j pleasantly situated as regards health,
; comfort, and amusement. Ido not hovv
| ever intend giving any thing like a par
ticular description of its localities, com
j forts, or the rich scenery with which the
vicinity abounds—these subjects having
grown trite—but will remark cn passent,
these springs at the present writing pos
sess every thing necessary to attract the
| modern Rrommell, invalid, or epicurian.
i There are now about one hundred and
i fifty persons bore, representing almost
every portion of our own, and some of
| the adjoining States. I rarely, as you
know, indulge in this way in personali
-1 ties, but should I yield to rny feelings on
this occasion, and speak of the divinity of
these shades, I doubt not it would be ex
cused. Miss H. with whom I doubt not
I you are acquainted, as I understood she
occasionally visits your little city, is here,
: the “bright particular star” of every eve
ning. I met with her a few days since ac
cidentally, and so pleased with her dis
tinguished manners have I been, that I
scarcely knew when in her presence
whether I held converse with one of
earth’s creation, or one of those stray an
gels, of whom vve sometimes read, sent
i here to awaken in man through his ad
j miration of her, a spirit of devotion to his
| God. Whether I look to her beauty of
j person, accomplishment of manner, or
i strength and cultivation of intellect, to
[ say "nothing of that inexhaustible foun
tain of pure, noble, and I had almost said
j platonic, (when looking only to the vig
or and purity of her mind, but this is not
admissible) love, winch nought is neces
sary to draw forth in all the wildness and
impetuosity of a nature thus ardent, but
congeniality of feeling and sentiment.—
I am alike lost in astonishment that she
should so long have withstood the at
tacks of Cupid, and kept until now the
citadel “ unmanned though lam well
aware she is no novice in the arts of de
fence. Were 1 like many around me,
unmarried, many hours could not elapse
ere I had made so vigorous an attack that
she would have more than woman’s pow
er did her outposts avail her much.—
There are also many others here worthy
of admiration, married and single, among
whom are many from your city. Take
them all together, they form a galaxy of
beauty rarely met with at the watering
places of Georgia.”
Natveism.
The Boston Daily Advertiser, one of
the purest as well ns one of the wisest
journals of this country, utters the fol
lowing sound opinions touching Associ
ations of native Americans:
“Native Americans. —We are sorry to
see measures adopted in any part of this
State lor establishing a Native American
Association. There can be no distinc
tion made between privileges of native
and adopted citizens, without the utmost
hazard of serious consequences to the
harmony and good order of the commu
nity. The forming of associations ofthe
character proposed must necessarily lead
to the formation of associations to coun
teract their influence, and the consequen
ces of the hostility thus produced, must
ultimately be violations of the constitu
tion and laws, and very likely disturban
ces of the public peace. If the natural
ization laws are unwise let those who
think so use their influence to have them
amended, hut let every good citizen be
vvurq how he attempts, by associations
with o particular class, to de-
prive his fellow citizens or any class, of
political or any other rights which they
have lawfully acquired. We hope that I
the project of such an association which
has been suggested in a neighboring
town, will not be persevered in.”
From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Tariff Justice.
Those who advocate protective tariffs
profess to do so, because the industry of
the country ought to lie protected from
foreign pauper labor. They say too, that
vve must have protective duties because
foreign countries have pro'ertive duties,
and that it is our duty to retaliate, until
they lower their duties, &e. dec. These
reasons, which are gravely assigned, are
but mere empty pretences, without a
shadow of foundation. The maimer in
which the taxes are laid is sufficient to
proveto any man of sense, that the only
industry that they care for is that of the
wealthy capitalist who invests his mo
ney in northern manufactories. The
conduct of the late U. States whig Sen
ate too, shows conclusively, that recipro
city is a mere excuse to lay taxes, that
they do not want low taxes .at all, and
will never reduce the present odious, op
pressive, black tariff, until the people
compel them. They seem to think that
Congress was established lor no other
purpose than to pass laws for the benefit
of northern capitalists. As for any idea
of protecting the agricultural interests of
the country, that appears never to have
entered Into their heads. Asa proof of
this vve have only to cite their course on
the treaty with the German Union. Mr.
Wheaton, after several yeais trying, got
the government of the German Union to
agree to admit cotton, rice and tobacco at
a very reduced tax compared with the
present tariff in that country, provided
our government would reduce the tariff
upon some goods of German manufac
ture. What did our whig senate do?—
Laid it on the table. The articles to lie
admitted at reduced tariff rate would com
pete with northern manufactured goods
and therefore they refused to ratify the
treaty. So ou rfarmers and planters, who
raise cotton, rice and tobacco are to un
derstand that when the whigs talk of
protecting American industry, they mean
northern manufactured goods and not ,
southern agricultural produce. They
care nothing for the southern cotton, to
bacco or lice—their patriotism can only
extend to the northern states and north
ern manufactures, for there the heavy
votes are to be cast, and Presidential can
didates will always court the strongest
interest. As for the weak who cares for
them?
Extract of a letter from a correspon
dent of the Charleston Mercury, dated
Hot Springs, Va. July 13.
“With regard to the assertion that
high duties make low prices, you must
understand it to mean low prices for a
gricultura! products. When the act of
’42 vvns passed, Abbott Laurence said
that it was worth to him sloo.ooo—he
lias actually roftlisedin the twelve months
just expired, over $200,000. Several
large boats recently arrived in N. York
from Albany nominally with wool. It
turned out that the cargo of each
was woollen goods from Canada. The
present is indeed the golden harvest for
the tariffifes. The influence in behalf
of their interest is rapidly extending, and
let me tell you that there is no hope for
the south, but in resistance, in utter dis
card of the consequences. If S. Caro
lina at the ensuing session does not take
this matter up, and commence her pre
parations for that opposition which will
certainly and quickly lead to the re-es
tablishment of ner rights, or an open rup
ture vvitli the Federal Government, she
will be inevitably degraded and ruined.—
Whilst the profits of the manufacturers
are no where less than 30 per cent, and
the tariff with its kindred measures can
be used as apolitical engine to advance
and protect one great branch of northern
industry, and permanently to secure
northern supremacy in the federal coun
cils, it is madness to suppose that the
plunderers of the south will peaceably
withdraw their hands from our pockets.
It is openly said here that the democrats
of New York are not doing their duty.—
Though largely in the ascendant, they
cannot or wil) not be roused to action.
The defeat of their favorite son, and that
effected too as they (erroneously) believe
by southern influence, has evidently par
alized the efforts of the party, many of
whom will not go to the polls. For this
reason, and the thorough organization of
the whigs, there is some ground for the
belief that that great slate will be lost to
us. Pennsylvania* however, may be re
lied upon—also Maine, New Hampshire,
and probably New Jersey.”
A Turkish Trap. —The Marchio
ness of Londonderry was inspecting die
palace of the Sultan, and had arrived at
the extremity of a magnificent l oom 150
feet long, with a long line of open lat
ticies to the water. “While I was shiv
ering with cold,” says she, “and gazing
on the Asiatic shore and tho delicious
view, (which, even in the bleak and drea
ry month cf November, is lovely,) a large
square trap-door in the floor was raised,
and I heard a voice say, ‘Voila hi mcr,
Inadmne!’ Hardly believing niv senses,
I advanced, and truly, the deep, green
sea flowed under the splendid eastern
gallery. A shudder came over me as 1
thought how readily that trapdoor might
close over its victims, and my blood ran
cold while my imagination made the
mute inquiry, who can tell ou whom
that barrier "has closed ? I recalled the
lines,
‘•When wearied of these fleeting l charms and me,
Here yawns tho sack, and yonder rolls the sea,”
and I turned away and gladly obeyed the
summons to proceed.”

Professional Dignity. —Two omni
bus drivers were recently up before the
Recorder, on the charge of whipping one
another instead of whipping their horses.
“ Why do you quarrel ?” said the Re
corder ; “you are both in the same line of
business.”
“ Veil, look here, Mr. Recorder,” said
one of them, who bad a face ns hard
as if he fed upon horse-nails; “look here
your honor; I dosen’t mean to say as
how a gentleman, such as you is, vouid
vound the feelin’s or injure the character
of a young man that hasn’t got nothin’to
depend on but bis pnrt’ession, as I is; but,
I fell you, yon touches my feel in’s on the
raw veil you insinuates thet I belongs to
the same line as he does. No, I scorns
it—l’d sooner g«> a cabbiu’ agin than lay

line! No, I drives tlte hoppisition.
We ought not to complain when for
eign writers abuse us, for we are certain
ly not backward in painting our own
character sufficiently dark. A physician
informed the Cincinnati Inquirer that in
his practice of a single year, he had been
required to officiate in seventy cast ol
seduction ; that is, to prevent disclosure,
of course. The question arises, then, if
one physician has such a practice, what
is the amount of such practice in a whoh
city ?

teem of the community in which he resided. He was
a man of elevated and chivalric sentiments, of noble
and generous aspirations, and strong and impulsive
moral feelings, a warm anil attached friend, an up
pright and honest man, beloved by aU whokpevv him
for his many amiable and manly qualities, for his so
cial feelings, for bis exemplary moral conduct, and for
his scrupulous fulfilment of all the duties of a good
citizen, llis place cannot be easily filled. Cutoff
in the flower of his youth, in the very springtide of
life, with every advantage that gives promise es use
fulness or honor. He will long he affectionately re
membered and deeply lamented by the many warmly
attached friends which his noble and manly qualities
had secured for him. Amt his sudden, unexpected,
and untimely decease, in the midst of youth, healthy
and promise, while it admonishes us in a voice of
thunder “ Be ve also ready,” presents a melancholy
and impressive warning of the uncertainty of life, aid
of all that would seem to assure it of the bright*,
hopes and most lasting duration.

And flowers to w ither at the norlhwind's breath ,
And stars to set: but all
