Our post-masters and civil-officers should be on the alert in regard to this most san^ inary and insidious work. We cannot restrain the expr. ssion of our regret, that something was not done at the late session of Congress on this momentous subject If our brethren of the North value the Union, as they pro fess to do—no time should be lost in revising some means to orinzto justice the cut-throats who are engaged in this Imsmess. It is in vain to talk to us about the abstract «ri.w-mlrs of philanthropy ana natura. freedom. Slavery P Stated in m my nations.

W’e find several interesting articles in the U. StUcs’j Telegraph of the 2d instant. Among others we insert f yhc following quotation front Mr. Daniel’s gpech, and the very appropriate remarks of the Telegraph upon it.'— But -we must itusent from the Editor in one thing, to wit: ] that * * B y signing all the bills presented to hir.l, General .la ksou wi.uid bar e been re-elected without opposition.”— We cannot dunk so. The uncomprimising republican- ism of ihe Pie.-ident was as well known before ids election iis it is now. i’tt (he ambition of power and the corrup tions practised to obtain it, exhibited in 1824, the saint ipirit whicu will be manilbited during the approaching campaign. Me was tlicn called a '‘Military Chieftain” —“t/ie associate of Jluron Burr,’* (zc.—And notwithstan ding ne had long it thi.ougil two wars, and ha-.i afterwards Cin.qrecred liis political enemies by the overwhelming voice of a people who understand too well the safety of the Coii,li'utii;n to see it destroyed by unlimited construc tion—he was slid stigmatised und branded as unfit fot iiis present dignified station. Mr. Clay has long had bis own consent to be President, and would, in any event, have opposed Jackson—and in any event, we believe, would have received 'he same Votes which he will now rccr.ve. uc\;:-;on may loose a few votes winch may go »' Clay — But toe language of New Hampshire sbewsth : ; pi it with which he mil be supported. No doubt this vtlo •• ill continue to make, as it uas already done, a great none--J> ,t it will not he so much ihe cause of opposition, us t ie occasion for violence and misrepresentation. He are inclined to think with Mr. llffcik—“Let the parti sans of Mr; C lay misrepresent or murmur as they may, the good sense of the people will support the present ve to. il will produce tne sacue t fleets as the first measure of th sort adopted b» - Gen. Washington.” The magnanimity and unbending integi ity of Jackson’s political und moral com-ge in this matter, must overawe and drive b ick his enemies, as did his physical prowess, win n tin: tanks of “Wellington’s luvinciblcs” fell before him at New-Orkans. Something to be remembered.—“It is the first time, in the history of the world, that the Executive of a Nation has interposed bis authority to stop extravagant and ruinous appropriations.”—Mr. Dan el’s Speech', on the xeto. It may he regarded as a remarkable event, in the history of any government, that its Chief Magistrate should risk hs own popularity &. power, by declining the distribution of a vase amount of money and patronage, which the Repre sent ltives of tin People, the co-ordinate branches of the Government, had tendered to him. Man is fonu of povv- .cr, and the distribution of money gives it to him; it re quires very extraordinary firmness of purpose, and the ulni si devotion to principle, to resist the proffered pow er—and more especially, when such a course jeopardises the popularity of the Magistrate. By signing all the bills presented to him, Gen. Jackson would have been re-elected without opposition. But, all the highest honors of lus country have been confcrrid up on him by its grateful citizens—the measure of his pop ularity was full—and he looked only to a conscientious performance of the duty to which he had been called.— The Union was endangered,by efforts made to pervert the principles upon which it was formed. A timid President, or a President anxious to bo again elected, would have act ed differently. resentatives of the People for the best of purposes, but by the double dealing and partial policy of its officers, con verted into a shaving shop i The sovereign people demand, and the interest and character of the State require, that the officers be removed, or the charter repealed. 6.

Mr. Chappel addressed the Throne of Grace—the Declara tion of Independence was read by Dr. Heath, and a clas sical and truly eloquent Oration was delivered by Irad C. Day, Esq.

To the Moral and Religious Class of the Voters in Georgia. Feli.ow-Citizens—Permit me to offer fur your seri ous consideration a few brief remarks on a sul b»ct con nected with the approaching election. They are made a- side from all party considerations, and will not, I hope, he ob*.tmeted by party prejudices. About the political view's of candidates which are often insincere, and the contest for party ascendancy, which i3 seldom won but by the sacrifice of principle, or enjoyed without abuses, I feel too little concern on this occasion to induce a remark of fensive to any set of political principles. My appeal is to the moral sense of this community for the correction of an evil which is dark and insidious in its nature threat eriing to deluge the community with the grossest immo ralities—an evil which has already «tained the character of the State, and which, If not arrested, will gradually, but not leas certainly, undermine the strongest pillars of this happy government. Aware of the dangerous and de moralizing tendency of securing popular favor by dispen sing heels, the framers of our Constitution wisely deter mined to guard the approach ofso great an evil of the ter rors of a most solemn and heart-searching oath—an oath, so carefully worded, as to mock aH evasion, and which points the violator to a d <y of most dreadful reckoning. Thus it reads. "I do solemnly swear, that / have not ob tained my election by bribery, treats, canvassing, or other undue or unlawful means, used by myself, or others, by my desire or ajrprobationA <S*c. Vii wing the uncompromising provisions of this oath in connexion with some of the practices of those who seek ihe fairest honors of the country, I have been led to point out some of the evil consequences which must inevitably result from them and to exhort the moral part of this community to an individual and patriotic cQort to avert them. That there is in this community an open and avmced system of electioneering by treats, is a fact as notorious as it is odious. That men who aspire to the high and honorable office of Legislators do, so far forget the dignity of the place they seek, as to be found plodding the circuit of Justice’s Courts and herding at inuster-ground assem blies; plying the cup of intoxication to the lips of their neighbors, until from the disordered brain and perverted judgments of these victims of their corruption, there may be extorted the loudest huzzas for the vilest sycophancy and most unprincipled ignorance that ever annoyed any community. And on days of election, how disgusting the conduct of these Ilonorables of our State; hawking about their o<vn names and elated with the prospect of success bv the ill-judged and extravagant encomiums of a besotted rabble. Nor are these devices without their reward.— Asa matter of course they prove successful, and are de clared to be duly elected. These are facts which it were idle to attempt to prove. Nobody can be ignorant that such are the devices and such the success of them, with very many of those on wLose wisdom and integrity the future hopes of our State depend. Now who that feels any concern for the public morals—who that has any re gard for the honor of the State and the future prospects of the country, can witness such a state of things with in- differency. Much has been said about the safety of the Union and the happiness of the people as being endanger ed by “political heresiesbut here is an evil preying up on the vitals of ibis coamucitj’, draging after it conse- , queheeS far more fatal to the safety «n<1 happiness of the people than all the wordy tempests of.Northern or South ern oisuniOnLts. If the preset vatiou of good morals be eSsentiad to the preset vation of good government in any country, it is the more essentially so in ours, where the virtue and intelli gence of the citizens are its chief supports. The amount of injury done to the public morals, and consequently to the public institutions of our country, by the treating sys tem, is not easily to be calculated. By the enticement of free drink and other excessive liberalities on the part of candidates at the public gatherings, how many industri ous men are allured from their needful occupations, to the great derangement of their secular ..ffiir*, ah well as injury of their morals. Htfw many sober men nre train ed to drunkenness—how many honest and otherwise v.r- tuous citizens are schooied in guile and hypocrisy, to say nothing ol the profanity and obscenity so common to these drinking associations. Whatever of mischief may be done fo the country by thus despoiling the public morals, there are other evil consequences still more to be drcadcd^because more im mediate in tbeir effects upon the public institutions of the country. When men, (earless of the great God, and re gardless of Ihe good order and virtuous distinctions so wisely established in human society, are promoted to im portant and honorable offit>3 by nuans so vile—by public demonstrations of their umverthiness—when virtue, in- Uliigtnce, integrity, ajtd patriotism are mortified into a retirement from the contest for public offices, and the brow of perjury is decked with the fairest honors of the State—then is the ruin of such a people nigh at hand— their glory is faded, *nd their hopes must perish! Fel- lovv-ciiiztns, this is no chimera, alas, (he picture is but too true. Would to God it lineaments were to be traced no where else but in tbe chamber of a disordered ?nd heat ed imagination! Look abroad the Slate and see how ma ny circumstances attest the mortilying truths. Who is there that has not witnessed the fact, that, bythevciy means I have denounced, these are often elected to be the Representatives of’his free and enlightened people,— men, wfiose moral depravity arid base hypocrisy are only equaled by their natural imbecility, while no cimbination iT virtuous talent, private or public worth can arait a com petitor who may be restitute of their hydra-ficed syco phancy, and still baser fraud, that purchasesoffice and honor at th cost of perjury. Yes, perjury: foi I do aver that the qualification of such members elect isfit only to b- styled, legal and constitutional perjury— am is one of tbe vilest mockeries of an oa li that w. sever tolerated by any people under Heaven! Now to expect thd wise and wl-tlesomt. laws should emanate from a source s> corrupt, is a- ab.-urd us ;o look for good fruit on a corrujt tree, or for sweet water from a bitter fountain. In spealing ttius, Heaven knows, I mean no disparagement to < hos< virtuous statesman who. in these days, form a mojoriy in the councils of the State,—I say, in these days', lor tie present leanness of that majority an t the rapid growtj of these evils ure evidences of declension, ;.ni ! but too indicative of the calamities I have predicted. 1 intended toclose this address by an appeal to the pride and patriotism of tbe good people of Georgia for a union of effirt is the sup pression of these public vices. To do this successfully I must advert to some of the causes to which they are to be attributed. If this investigation should expose some of these good people to censure ihey will doubtless suffer the reproof—candor obliges me to do it, and true wisdom will uumonish thrm to bear it. In ihe first place, 1 tstke it for granted that there exists »n tins community an aggregate am.Miiii ot morality nt least equd to the amount of iw- morality; and that in the matter of elections, the chances ior securing the choice of-he { . AbS alcdeciifdiv (a . vourable, provide-* they vole unitedly in rem^n.. to ti,i„ subject. But here we see the root of all the evils com plained of. The disregard of moral worth among men profession morality, is the true cause of tin's general de pravity in the public morals. Manytimesilhappcnsth.it a public man suffers in popularity among a certain class of citizens, on account of his known, sterling morality.— Such a mm is known t« interfere in the suppression of public immoralities, and in conscqu nee of s. cb interfere ence, be exchanges their favor for their deadlie-t opposi tion. Now in tbe absence of that support vi bich he has u right to expect from men professing morality, und r such an opposition, be is, if he be ambitious, naturallv led to diminish his public efforts in the cause of morality* if not to court the favor and connive at the vices, against vv ac.i it would be his inclination as much as his honor to fiend. But instead of this union of Bentiment and of action a- mong the best of men, there has been a union of party to the sacrifice of moral worth and the best interest of the country.—a union, which in lbc«i'idno>«at its «nt, bus driven men, “professing godliness” to the support of un principled ignorance (which had made its *.ay ts poli ieal distinction over the broken laws of God, and ail the de cencies of civilized society,) inertly because it had learnt to ye?p the dogmas of a party, and to vote as it was in structed. While sucb is tbe character of the pdilicai bul lies of this day, men who ciioose not to slain themselves with such meanness, however rare their qualifications for office, are driven, by tbeir honor and their oirtue, into ob scurity and tbe country is deprived of their sevices. Now I would enquire, is it sufficient for (he conscience of a moral and religious man to allege party expediency for bis choice under such circumstances? On the contrarj, ought not the production of such a candidate by a party, to induce a good man to distrust the views and principles ol that party? Certainly it should. Then let men who fear God and wish to honor their country, look well ta (bis important matter. Let nothing but private and public wo.Ub» pass the scrutiny of your inspection. Let it be a mati ,iro f conscience to vote for no man who is known to puss x treat, or who is s en skulking to, and from, Justi ce’s Co.uTtand muster-ground associations.

Dr. Fort, we feel confident, will not .ffer. We do not know that the other gentleman named will or will not offer. None could do mure credit to the State. “Gen. Daniel Newnan is much talked of by the IruA Democrats throughout the State’ as a candidate for congress at the ensuing e- lection. He is a sterling patriot, a worthy roan, and n brave and chivalrous soldier, has served his country faithfully, ably, and zeal t-usly, in both civil and military capacities, and would do honor to himself and the State, in the councils of the nation. Few, if any, have stronger claims to the gratitude, respect, and confidence of his fellow-citizens, and should he consent to become a candidate for their suffrages, ive feel assured that his sterling worth and services will not he forgotten. Among others who are spoken of as candid ates for Congress, in addition those we have heartofor:- mentioned—General Flournot Judge Schlev. Judge McDonald, Col Cuth bert and Dr. Fort—is the Hon Thos. U- P. Chaiilton ot Savannah. Judge C. arrived in Augusta a few days ago. and took lodging at tbe United States’ Hotel, where he received visits from a number ofhis friends, till yester day, when he departed for Washington. He has hen selected -by the Demostht nian and Phi Kappa societies of Athens, to deliver the customary Anniversary Oration, at the Com ment, in August next: and from his highly polished mind, and brilliant talents as an Ora tor, we may jusly anticipate from him, one of the most finished specimenf? of composition and eloquence, that has ever been witnessed there on a similar occasion.” — :z:oo:z.-— Com. Porter.—One of tbe opposition papers, a few days since,'speaking c? the appointment of our Consul to Algiers, said, snecringly, with a view to throw odium up, n the President, that “Algiers was a fit place for the Como- Jore, that he ought to have been there long ago,” &c The following is a good commentary upon such sarcasm. Extract of a letter dated. New-tork lane 28. “Tin: United States' sloop or war Boston, commanded by Capt.

We leafn verbally, that the subject ol the Noth rn Boundary ottiie United States was before the King of the Netherlands, as sovereign arbitrator of the Controversy tie tween us and Groat Britain; that the Ministers of th ‘ two nations were engaged in giving ne cossary explanations of tbe numerous docu menls presented to him; but that no calcula Hons had been made when the result of the umpirage would be disclosed * That resul it was anticipated would be worthy of the jus tice and impartiality of his Netherlands’ Majes ty. He had recently made a short visit to Amsterdam, and as reported, on important bu c,ness ^reparations were making at tbe Hague, at thelast date, for the temporary re- j moval of the Court tor Brussels—where the to control the destinies of C'ur State, and redeem its char acter from justly merited rej'cwreh. May the departed spirits of ’76 :uiimate you with patriotic zeal to retrieve and preserve those virtuous and happy institutions which they purchased for us at the cost of the ir blood. 1 CITIZEN. fcOMMOSICATED.j Mr. Editor:—The names of seviral gentlemen have been mentioned as suitable persons to represent us in the next Congress—against neither of tvnich, I have any thing to say. But in addition to those already before the people, I take the liberty of presenting to their considcra- The National Journal says: That (be “signs of th- times” indicate that “the light of truth is rapidly dispell ing the mists of Jacksonism, and that Mr. Clay, the star of’he West, is hailed throughout the land as “the young man’s vision and the old man’s dream.” This is mo t feliciotisly true; for it is all a “vision” and a iC Uream.-U- nited Slates Telegraph. A singular scene took place in the Lcgisla fure of Rhode Island, on Saturday. At the g, . , n , . , , last session, Mr. E. R. Potter took advantage tion, Colonel Brailsford of McIntosh. It is known to u- hP : vl i Q _„ ttacbed to the * ft,s P r,v,,e ffe as a member, to abuse Mr. you that this gt nth m ill and myself are attached different political parties which now divide our Stute— yet it is due to truih and justice to say that I consider him bigb minded—honorable and possessing talents of a grade quite respectable. With Col. Brailsford, I am personally unacquainted—the opinion which I entertain o( his worth and abilities being entirely formed by his conduct a&a* member of our State Legislature. At the last election Colonel Br.iilsford did net receive but little over two hundred votes in this county, i have recently heard several persons say, and amongst them some of influence, that if he were now a candidate they would support him. My own opinion is that he would now receive five hnndred. This is however of course bus ed upon the presumption that nothing shall occur to check the current of public feeling now flowing in Ids favor. , NEWTON. Mr. Editor.—I have heard that General Reuben C Shorter is a candidate fur Congress—“We the People” of this county are glad of it, for we want to see our repre sentaiives more generally dispersed over the State. Be ing depriv d of the “District System” we want that which is as nearly equivalent as possible. Gen. Shorter there fore has strong claims upon this part of the State. In this county we have no half way of doing business a-od 1 hesitate not to say that he will receive a liberal support by HENRY. The Washington News announces by authority, the Hon. Thomas U. F. Charlton as a candidate for Con gress, with the following remarks: “ In announcing Judge Charlton as a candidateto re present this State in Congress we see no impropriety in , staling explicitly, tbit he is a genuine republican of the Jeffersonian schooH-a true democrat, and a firm advocate of-state rights. In 1S00 and 1801 (but memoriable pe riod in the political history of Georgia, be was almost sin gle-handed, found combating against 1 he arKtocrati: fed eralists of the day, and from that time up to the present he has never been known to halt, or stand between parties, but has always been found in the front rank of republican ism. And suppose he has at some period differed person ally from this, or tliat great man; is that a sufficient caus<. to blast bis claims upon the community forever? By no means. His political integrity enn’oot be questioned.- He withstood the torrent of 1800, when men of ths pre sent day, (hoisted bi^b on tbe wheel of popular will,) were Hallef, Ihe Editor of the Providence Daily Advertiser, who was present reporting the proceeding®. At the session last week Mr. Potter continued his attacks in a gross and vi olent manner whereupon tbe House allowed the reporter to reply on the spot.-— [Journal of Commerce June 5 THE SCOTTSBOR.O’ FEMALE SEMINAR? %\TlLL commence its Fall Session v v on the Third Monday (19lh) of JULY next.

I N presenting to the public his prospectus fjr a new pa per at Columbus, the subscriber does not diem it ne cessary or expedient to go into a minute detail of his politi cal doctrines, or ofhis particular views in regard to the \&- i ious topics which now engage public attenti in. lie pre sumes that bis character a» an editor is too well known in Georgia to allow him togiin credit among any party, with mere professions und empty promises. The public will be apt .o look to the past, in iorming their estimate of the future, and by that ordeal is he willing to be trier:. In the numerous political discussions, which the c>t-nT' of tne day have ennr-tj tonn, his opinions or Bit n and things have been, publicly expressed, and are doubtless familiar with many of those to whom tie now looks for patr< n: £,e and support. Those who have hitherto approved c f hi* sentini) ills and keen satisfied with the manner : ;i which he has urged ibem, will, be trusts, stili eoutinue their con fidence, without the renewal ot pledges, or a formal con fession ol faith. In reference however, to the present state of parties, he begs leave to remark, that he trusts the absence ot all political excitement, "ill prove propi ioua to tbe. c.re.Se of truth; and that now all parties, by wha ever n-.tries tb<-y may Lave been distinguished will be pvrmitteu to labor for the general welfare, unobstructed by political jealous,, or ths rancor of by-gone feuds. The undersigned will . n- deavor to extend still further this general cordiality of feeling, and to allay the occasional sj u.ptoms ofexucerba lion to which a warmly contested election may give rise: and in this, and whatever other measure lit may under take, for the purpose of advancing the prosperity ot the state, be tVill count on the cordial co-operation of every good citizen, however they may have previously did- reil on points of political faith-. Attached to the doctrines of the Revolution, ami liolcl- ing in high veneration the intmory uf thore heroes arid sages, by whom cur reberties were achieved] and out pre sent admirable form of government established, the sub scriber will endeavor to manifest the sincerity of his pro fessions, by exciting a feeling of attachment to the Uninm and encouraging an entire cpnfioVnce in the institutions of our country. He will inculcate the doclrino that it is better to bear a slight and temporary evil, against which we have a constitutional remedy, than to haz rd a It for which our fathers fought, and so many martyrs ,'albred. and bled. He will'not in any respect overlook or disre gard the rights or the interests of his ow n state; yet lie must always view particular righti&.interests, ns relative ly connected with others, and he .will never consent to tbe sacrifice ef ^ greater for a lesser good. The subscriber wili endeavor to make The Democrat s> vehicle of general intelligence, and an interesting periodi cal to tbe gentlemen o( literature, the achcn.turist, the merchant and mechanic.
