(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. ISAAC BICKERSTAFF. 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.

Resolved, That the proceedings be signed by the Chairman mid Secretary and be published in the Democratic pa pers of Macon. JOHN KILLEN, Chairman. Stephen B. Pearce, Secretary. The Democratic Association of Bibb County, to the Democracy of the State of Georgia : We invite you, each and all of you, to the Convention,- and promise you a cor dial welcome, and all the hospitality it is in our power to extend. From the re mnb aountioo, w« liop<? to see large Del egations ; and from those contiguous, as well as those enjoying the facilities of the Rail-Road, we expect to sec you in all your strength and numbers. We invite, also, all of uny and every party, who wish to know what are the principles and policy of the Democratic Party; and how much ciedit is to be giv en to the various charges alleged against them by their political opponents. Every prominent Democratic orator in the State, has been specially invited ; and besides these, the following, among oth er distinguished gentlemen from other States ; Gen. Jackson and Gov. Polk of Tennesee ; Calhoun, Huger, McDuffie, Pickens, Elmore, O’Neal, Harper, Pinck ney, Memminger, Hunt, Bailey, Mogrnth, and Porter, of South Carolina ; Lewis; Belser, Bagby, Crabb, Yancey, Chandler, Harris, Campbell, and Mason,of Alabama; Ritchie, of Virginia; Walker and Young, of Mississippi; Grimes, of Louisiahid ; Saunders, of North Carolina ; and Lamar, of Texas.

We say, then, to all, come and see us; that, with union in council and in action, we may place beyond the reach of contingency, the triumph that awaits us—the triumph of Principle, of the Constitution—the rights of the South— the perpetuity of the Union. H. G. LAMAR. JAMES SMITH, JOHN LAMAR, WM. GREEN, A. P. POWERS, S. M. STRONG, D. C. CAMPBELL. A BaSr. 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.
