(tels in the coming contest, and will re-
Kuke, by a large and signal majority, the
British factions,and southemdumagogiies
arc trying to attach Georgia to the
car of the federal candidate.”
\V r etake pleasure in presenting to our
readers the following spirited letter ad
dressed to a citizen of this place, and han
ded us for publication. Here it is:
Marietta, Aug. Bth, ’44.
Dear Sir— l am just from a long and
interesting conversation held with your
‘ o! d a nd tried friend, Gov. McDouald.—
He returned a few days since from Vir
ginia m fine health and spirits, and gives
t/ie most flattering account of the condi
tion of the democratic cause there and
elsewhere. He says “ Georgia is safe—
that he never knew the democracy of
this state to be thoroughly aroused in
the whole course of their political histo
ru that they did not signally triumph /”
That such is the case now, there can be
no doubt, and we may already anticipate
the long, loud shouts of victory that wiU
<ro up from the vallies ol Cherokee to the
fopmost heights of our heaven reaching
mountains, to waken the south to tier
danger, and to cheer the desponding
heart of the patriot by the utterance of
the truth that he still lives in a land ram
parted by republican laws and republi
can liberty.
You may look out to see the Governor
nt the head of a thousand Cherokee boys
n f the true stamp. They will roll down
upon the federal whigs like an avalanche
from the mountains, spreading dismay
and confusion into their ranks! Poor
cravens to their country ! they will feel
as much alarm as if Santa Anna and his
mongrel Mexicans were actually upon
them! But tell them not to be frighten
ed: the Cherokee boys wont hurt them ;
they only want to convince them that
there are enough mountain boys to whip
anv despot on this side of the waters ; and
it' they should unluckily be drafted into
service that substitutes icont cost them
anything.
There lias been a large meeting held
nt the Gun Powder Spring for the pur
pose of making the necessary arrange
ments to go down ; a hundred names
were subscribed at opce; waggons anil
mules furnished; and every necessary,
contribution made to promote and facili
tate their march down —that was only a
movement in the southwestern part of
the county. Saturday they hold anoth
er in the northeastern, and the enrolment
will be considerably increased. 'They
authorized me on the part of Fayette to
secure one hundred seats in the cars lor
them at Griffin. In addition, there will
be another large squad on loot, horseback,
and waggons. Campbell is likewise
wide awake; she will send her quota,
headed by Col. Latham, and Col. Wade
White, one of the oldest settlers in this
region. The old veteran swears that
Cherokee will never give her vote to a
man who wanted to establish an inde
pendent Indian Government in Gear
gia.
You will recollect, if Clays policy
could hare prevailed in 1825, all this
beautiful region of country would now
have been in possession of the Indians.
The poor white settlers would have been
driven from the country at the point of
the federalbbaronety r onet and half of Georgia
turned over to a band of savages.
Thus Clay in 1825 would have surren
dered the best half of Georgia to the In
dians, and in 1811 the whole of it, with
the south and Texas to the abolitionists.
Such is the man that lying Jemmy, bul
lying Boh and fighting Alek, and a cer
tain white-livered clique about your town
would impose upon the freemen of Geor
gia.
But thank Heaven, the people are with
ns. They are wise eneugh to know
that Texas gained her liberty in the same
way that our forefathers did theirs—that
she is republican, and ought to come into
the Union—that rich men are fast monop
olizing the good lands of Georgia, and in
a few years the poor will be cut out en
tirely, and have noplace to go unless we
get Texas —that the great land specu
lators have bought up all the good land
in Mississippi and are holding on to
them for big prices, and that in a few
s°ars they will have to work in the fields
'/ I ''-> rich men at 121-2 cents a day if
the wr#^. parfl/ let ths English have
Texas. ■
This is tlu^ eason w hy Mr. Poe is such
a slron ? Clay »m U . y/ e holds a large
land interest in Mississippi, and knows
\f we get 'Texas he can't sell out to the
poor men at enormous- profits.
Mf* Clay pledges lus influence against
rpxas, and Mr. Poe goes the whole hog
ior him on that account.
Arc tho hard-working men ot the 3d
•set. goiijg to vote for him? NeveUncv
er i never! It is these great land moiiop
°hes that keep the country from settling
hp—-and the people ought to put them
down. It Poe’s lands were in 'Texas in
s, cad of Mississippi, oh what a Texas
he would be!
Yours. &c.
The following letter was received, a
few days since, from one of our friends
dated:
Harris county, August sth, ’44.
My dear sir: You desire to know
something of the “ signs of the times” in
this section of the State. In answer, I
beg you to be of good cheer, for all is well.
The political skies are bright and every
day growing brighter. / speak what 1
do know, that in this and the adjoining
counties, the cause of Democracy is on
ward. Our friends are not only united
but they are enthusiastic. And we al
most daily hear of whigs who come out
openly for our candidates, and others who
refuse to be led into the support of Clay &
his federal measures. Even in Harris
county the tide is in our favor. It would
do your heait good to witness with what
zeal the little Spartan hand of Republic
ans in Harris are rallying in the defence
of their principles and their country.
Last Thursday was a glorious day for
the Democracy of Harris. Our friends
had a Barbecue at Ellerslie, near the line
of Muscogee, and from a thousand to
fifteen hundred persons were present.—
Speeches were made by Judge Wellborn,
Col. Seaborn Jones, and the Hon. A. H.
Chappell.
The powerful arguments of all these
gentlemen were listened to with the most
profound attention. I would that every
voter in Georgia could have heard them.
The masterly effort of Mr. Chappell will
never he forgotten by those who heard
him. He carried conviction to the minds
of all who are not wholly blind to rea
son. But there are many whigs in this
county who will reason, and who will
vote for Chappell , when the day comes.
It teas the largest democratic meeting
ever held in the county.
Our friends will give another Barbecue
at Whitesville on the 21th inst., when
they arc determined to surpass their
brethren at Ellerslie!
Tell our friends in your part of the
district to do their duty and we will elect
Mr. Chappell. What say the Democracy
of Bibb and Twiggs, Crawford and Mon
roe to this?
Truly yours.
[for THE AMERICAN DEMOCRAT.]
To the Senate and House of Represen
tatives of the United States:
Gent \—The Constitution of our be
loved Union having guaranteed to every
citizen, however humble, the right to pe
tition for a redress of grievances, the un
dersigned avails himself of the privilege,
to yonr attention to one tvhieh hnsi
given him great and perpetual inconve
nience. Nevertheless, if it were an in
convenience that affected none but your
petitioner, he would endeavor toarm him
self with resignation and bear it m si
lence. It is, however, so far from it, that
it is an universal evil. It opperates alike
upon every section of the country, and
every class of your constituents, from the
beggar to the millionaire, are interested in
its removal.
Your petitioner protests ngainstits be
ing draged into the arena of party politics,
for it has no necessary connexion with
them, being neither for or against the an
nexations of Texas, bank or no bank,
tariff or anti-tariff, neither pro nor anti
slavery, nor has it any thing to do with
the occupancy of Oregon, or thrashing
the Mexicans.
Thus much, your petitioner deemed it
necessaiyto say, byway of introduction
to engage your favorable consideration,
as he was afraid to mention his griev
ance in the outset, lest you should turn
away in disgust at its apparent insignifi
cance he says—for he begs your Hon
ors to remember, that, as it is not a great
flood now and then* but the continual
droping of water, that wears away stone ;
so it is not the occasional happening of a
great calamity, but the perpetual recur
rence of petty vexations, that corrodes and
destroys the hapiness ot man.
He does not doubt, that your Honors
will feci the truth of the foregoing re
mark with great force, when he declares,
that the grievance which he complains
of, is the coinage and circulation of
Dimes, vulgatly called, here in Georgia,
at great expenseof breath, ten-cent-pieces.
Your Honors know the table ; 10 mills
make a Cent, 10 cents a dime, 10 dimes
a dollar, and 10 dollars an eagle. How
beautiful and euphonous. Perhaps the
currency of no other nation sounds so
well, but alas ! it is all that can be said
for it.
The undersigned yields to none, in
profound veneration for the distinguish
ed ancestry, by whom our liberties were
achieved and our happy form of Gov
ernment established; nevertheless, he
must take the liberty' to say, that, in this
instance, (and it is perhaps the only one,)
they sacrificed sense to sound, and the
utile to the d'ulcc. Is any other divis
ion of a whole so national, easy and uni
versal as that into halves ? This is the
governing principle, in the division and
subdivision ofour weights and our mea
sures both of length and quantity, and
indeed, of almost every thing m nature.
To continue to halve a thing as long as
it is divisible, is a rule so natural, that
it commends itself to the common sense
of all man kind. Subject the American
dollar to the operation of this easy and
natural rule, and we shall, at once, have
halves, quarters, eighths and sixteenths;
corresponding to our half bushel, peck,
eighth, and sixteenth ; half gallon quart,
pint, and half pint; hall pound, quarter,
eighth and sixteenth ; half yard, quarter,
eighth and sixteenth.
Should there be one of your honora
ble body who is not deeply impressed,
with.the inconvenience, to call it by no
harsher name, of the decimal devision of
the dollar, let him suppose, that one of
his constituents had sold two bushel and
and a half of potatoes at a quarter of a
dollar a bushel, making sixty two and a
half cents, he will perceive, at a glance,
that he cannot get the precise amount of
his sale, according to this division. Half
a dollar and a dime is all he will get, and
he will loose two and a half cents by eve
ry such transaction. It is needless, to
consume the time of your honorable bo
dy, by an enumeration of other examples,
for they are occuring in endless variety,
every day to most, and every hour, and
perpetually to many, to the great detri
ment and annoyance of all. It is a mat
ter of much surprise, that tlie incongrui
ty, not to say absurdity', of adopting one
division of the dollar and another of
weights, measures, tfcc., shuold not have
occurred to the wise framers of our gov
ernment and laws. It was an error in
theory that has wrought confusion in
practice.
There are those who, without reflec
tion, flatter themselves, that the time will
come when, from the preponderance of
dimes and half dimes in our circulation,
(they preponderate now and are like the
punsters reasons, as plenty as blackber
ries,) goods, wares, <fcc. will be bought
and sold by the national division of the
currency; but it requires little reflection to
convince every one, that, such a practice,
to use a vulgar npothegem, would be
“jumping out of the frying pan into the
fire.” For example, if one of your con
stituents had sold two bushels and a
peck of potatoes at two and a half dimes
per bushel amounting to fifty six and a
quarter cents, it is apparent, that the sum
due could not be made out of dimes and
half dimes, and that there would be a
loss, to the seller, of a cent and a quarter,
so that, the anticipated change, in the
manner of pricing goods, &c. would not
remedy the evil, but would be confusion
worse confounded, or rather confounded
confusion. From all which, it is mani
fest to your honors, that, there is no re
-1 medy for the sore and numberless evils,
arising out of the non-correspondence of
thedivision ofour dollar and our weights,
and measures, but to made them corres
pond, by the natural and easy division of
the former into halves, quarters eighths,
&c. or the decimal division of the latter.
The undersigned is the more bold to
petition your honors to do this act of jus
tice to himself and to the people, because
he holds, that your predecessors have
(unwittingly he admits.) but to all intents
and purposes, debased the currency of
the country —a crime which no nation
has, deliberately committed, but under
the presure, of what they deemed an
overruling necessity, but which has,
nevertheless, been denounced, even under
such supposed necessity', in unsparing
terms, by all writers on law, morals, and
religion. Ho roy.oo.to. Hint, it ic, in ntfVot,
a debasement ot the currency, and to the
extent of twenty per cent. It is notori
ous, that the dime passes for the eighth
ofa dollar through the whole length and
breadth of the land, except in some of the
larger cities where copper cents and half
cents are used. The hope has been in
dulged, that these small coins would ob
tain general circulation, and remedy the
evil which your petitioner complains of,
but experience has shown, that the A
merican people have an irreconcilable
hatred to, or contempt of them ; so that,
no good can come of any further effort
to make their circulation general. It is
in this, perhaps, that our fathers erred
from a miscalculation of the genius of
our people, for, if their circulation was
co-extensive with that of dimes and half
dimes, the evil would, to a great extent,
be remedied and our losses be reduced to
quarter cents. But, after an experiment
of more than half a century, those cop
pers have scarcely travelled beyond the
sound of the Mint-hammer. Thousands
of our people grow up, live to a good old
age and die, having never seen one of
them, and there are, no doubt, many
parts of the country where they would
sell, in considerable numbers, at a dime
a piece as curiosities ; a hint which Sam
Slick may improve when clocks become
dull of sale.
If you ask further proof that the dimes
and half dimes are debased coins, you
will find it in the fact, that they have
driven out of circulation all the old
eighths, shillings, or sevenpences as the
Georgians call them, according to an es
tablished law of trade, that the baser will
always supplant the better currency.—
The latter, governed by a proper resent
ment, have retired, with indignation, to
other countries, where they arc not forced
into so disgraceful an association, and
where they are received at their true
value.
Further, the Constitution makes it the
duty of Congress to regulate and make
uniform, the currency ; in direct contra
vention of which, you continue to flood
the country with these confounded Tcn-
Cent- Pieces, that are, for all practical
purposes, a debased coin, a§ much os, it
they contained an alloy of twenty per
cent of copper, lead, or iron.
The undersigned regrets, that he has
not a Mint report to refer to, but, accord
ing to his recollection; a very large pro
portion of our silver coinage consists of
dimes and half dimes. \V by is it so ?
Your petitioner will not believe that, it is
the fixed purpose of Congress to drive all
the dollars, halves and quarter out of cir
culation ; and yet, this will be the inevit
able result, at the present rate of increase
of these pestiferous little coins. Will
yonr honors do the people the justice to
inquire into this matter nt your next sit
ting, and, with other things, if brokers
and government officers do not deposit,
in the Mint, real Amorican dollars, halves
and quarters, as well ns bullion and for
eign coin, to be manufactured into dimes
and half dimes for purposes of specula
tion ? Is the currency uniform, while
the former pass at their true value and
the latter at tventy per cent more ? for
your honors know, that, a dime passes,
almost every where, at the eighth of a
dollar, althoughit is in truth but the tenth;
in most parts, two for a quarter, allho.’
but a fifth, and, in more than half the
Union, eight for a dollar, while it is no
more than four fifths. The evil would
be greatly mitigated, if their current
value could be made uniform and per
manent, in each separate state, county, or
even neighborhood ; but, so far from it,
the price of fancy stocks even, is not more
fluctuating; so that, what one receives
today as th3 fourth of a dollar, he may
have to pass to-morrow as the fifth, &c.,
as necessity may compel him.
If your honors will call to mind, what
a vast majority, of our pecuniary trans
actions, do ooi rise in dignity above that
of a dime oia few dimes at most, it will
aid you in making up an estimate, of the
loss and vexation which the American
people, and especially that large, necesary
and respectable portion of them, the re
tail traders, suffer from this debased, fluc
tuating and accursed currency.
These are not all, nor perhaps the
greatest evils, that flow from this source.
VVaste and prodigality arc promoted.—
Most people, having a ten cent piece, em
brace the first opportunity that offers of
getting it off at the eighth of a dollar,
whether they need what they get in ex
change for it or not; whereby the sale
of ardent spirits and confectionary is
greatly increased, to the lasting damage
of the morals, heads and stomachs of
your constituents. It tends, in other
ways, to corrupt the morals of the peo
ple and make us a nation of scoundrels.
It begets, and keeps alive, a perpetual en
deavor to overreach. The little school
boy, with his holiday present of a ten
cent piece essays, to circumvent the cake
and apple woman, by palming it off for
the eighth ofa dollar, when he knows
it is not ; and he is thus initiated in
crime before, perhaps, he has learned his
alphabet. Even, some of our lordly bro
thers do not think it beneath their notice,
to speculate in these pieces, by sending
them, by the keg full, to agents in the
country, to swindle the people with, by
passing them off eight to the dollar.—
Even, if you toss one to a beggar in the
street, instead of its begetting a feeling of
gratitude, he is indignant at being cheat
ed out of two cents and a half. All re
ceive them, pretty much in the spirit with
which Pat, cast away the light guinea,
which he picked up in the street, be
cause. as he alledged, he had once lost a
shilling by its fellow.
For these and divers other good and
sufficient reasons, him thereunto moving,
your petitioner, respectfully, begs your
honors, to call in all the dimes and half
dimes and recoin them into real eighths
and sixteenths of a dollar; or otherwise
to pass a law, carrying out the decimal
principle, in relation to all our weights
and measures, so as to make them cor
respond with the currency, and your pe
titioner, as in duty bound, will ever
pray, &c.

llcrting in Houston.
Tuesday, August 6th, 1844.
At a meeting of the Democratic asso
ciation of Houston county, held at the
Court-house in Perrv, John Killin, Esq.
was called to the chair, and Doct. Ste
phen B. Pearce was appointed Secretary.
Major James M. Kelly addressed the
association and offered the following pre
amble and resolutions which were unan
imously adopted, to wit:
Whereas a “ state mass convention ”
of the Democratic party has been appoin
ted to be held in the city of Macon on the
22d instant. And our fellow-citizens of
Bibb having made suitable arrangements
for the accommodation of the people;
and having given a general and cordial
invitation and welcome to all, we the
Democratic Association of the county of
Houston do therefore urge all our friends
and fellow-citizens of all parts of the coun
ty to go with us to the proposed mass
convention.
In the name of our common country
and in behalf of its future prosperity anil
safety, the real friends of the annexation
of Texas to our Union, without regard to
former party distinctions, are invited to
attend this convention.
The real opponents (whether whig or
democrat of *he black tariff of 1842, and
the friends of the compromise act of 1833,
are respectfully urged and insisted upon
to take seats in this convention.
In fine we solicit all the opposers of
Northern Whiggism and of the close
Union and identification of Northern
and Southern whiggery, and ot their mea
sures ; and all who oppose the whig
schemes of mutilating and altering the
constitution of the United States; either
as respects the “ one term principle” so
called, or the qualified veto of the Presi
dent ; and the friends of that sacred in
strument as it now stands without any
addition to or subtraction from it, to take
part with us in the deliberations of this
convention.
Come all Houston—we repeat “come
go with us to the convention —it will be
a feast of Truth, Reason, 4* Eloquence.
Be it therefore resolved, That the chair
appoint a committee of three or four in
each company district of this comity to
urge and insist upon the people of their
respective districts to attend the conven
tion.
Resoh'ed further, That William Her
rington, Sheppard Rogers, and Edward
A. Harvey, Esqrs. be and they are here
by appointed a committee to prepare a
suitable banuer for the occasion, having
such devices and emblems as said com
mittee shall consider appropriate.
Resolved, That it is the settled opin
ion of this association that the immediate
annexation of Texas to our union; the
repeal of the black tariff of 1842, and
the substitution in its place of the com
promise act of 1833 are measures deman
ded by the best interests of the people of.
the union.
Resolved, That any attempt to alter
the constitution of the United States
would at this time be fraught with mis
chiefs incalculable, as it would open thre
door to other and further mutilations
which the “ king people ” of the north
and east, aided by tneir emissaries of the
south ancf west would seize upon ns good
whig authority for demolishing the land
marks of southern security. And that
the avowed whig project of altering the
constitution would in effect be “ laying
the axe to the root of the tree" of liberty.
Resolved, That we can view the dis
tribution of the proceeds of the public
lands among the States in no other light
than as an assumption by the general
government of the debts of the States to
the extent of those proceeds, a measure
too odious to find favor with the Ameri
can people.

The Democratic Republican
voters of Bibb, propose giving
a handsome Republican Ban
ner to the County having the
largest Delegation in attend
ance at the Mass Convention,
to beheld in this city on Thurs
day, the 22d inst. and would re
spectfully call the attention of
their Democratic brethren in
every county, to the Banner
offered by democratic Bibb;
and hope each wiU go to work,
with a determination to bear
off the prize.
A free Barbacue, in good old demo
cratic style, will be given by the Repub
licans of Bibb,totheir breth
ren, on the day of the Convention —
Thursday the 22 d.
Tennf.See.—The' following extract
from the Jonesbbro (Tenti) Sentinel
shows that the fire of Democracy is bla
zing with renewed brilliancy in that State:
“ To our brethren of other Stutes, we
say, fear not for Tennesee. The very
mountains are on fire for Polk, Dallas,
and Texas—and the ides of November
will tell coon cry a tale that will not bo
forgotten for years to come. Although
Tennessee has for a tirae been alienated
from the Democratic, cause—although
she may have been seduced from her good
old Republican course by the wily and
designing leaders of Federalism, yet we
have every assurance that she will now
return to Kef first love —yea, we feel corn
fident in asserting that she never will
cast her vote for Henry Clay.”
Col. It. ill. John-on.
This veteran Democrat has recently
written a letter to the Editor of the Ken
tucky Yeoman, in reply to one address
ed to him on private business. The fol
lowing brief extract from the letter of
Col. Johnson, shows that he still feels
the same devotion to the cause of popular
rights, which has been so prominent a
characteristic of his whcle life, and that
he is deeply anxious for the success of
the Democratic nomiuees for the Presi
denCy and Vice Presidency :
“ I cannot be separated from my friends
in the political Contest going on, and no
one will more cheerfully and more cor
dially vote for and sustain and support
the nominees of the Democratic Conven
tion held at Baltimore, 27th May. I have
known Col. Polk and Mr.Dallas asprom
ineht members of the Democratic party
while they were members of Congress,
and ever since, and it will give me pleas
ure to dp nil I can to promote them to
the offices of President and Vice Presi
dent, for which they have been nomina
ted by the Democratic party, and I hope
every friend I have will do the same.”
Kj* JFe are authorised to say that
an accommodation train of Cars will
leave Gridin, Barnesville, and Vorsyth
at suitable hours—and bring passen
gers, Delegates to the Macon Conven
tion, for fifty cents each, and return at
the same price.
