STATE LEGISLATURE. Candidates in Baldwin County. FOR THE SENATE, GEN. JAMES C. WATSON. FOR REPRESENTATIVES, MAJ. BURTON HEPBURN, DR. TOMLDiSON FORT. It has been unusually cold during the past week for our climate. We had a very considerable and pretty gen eral frost in this vicinity, on the night of the 29th 1 ept. —This is a very rare occurrence in this section of Geor gia.

Henry Ravknei., Secretary. 1 The hostility of a certain class of politicians in this State and Georgia, to the Vice Presi dent of the United Stales, is a fact too often evinced by the publications in that State, and by a single one in this, to remain problematical. A correspondent of the Georgia Journal, in the paper of tbe 4?h inst. after stating that strong indications have been given in dmerent parts of the Union, that public opinion had settled down in favor of tho re-election of Gen. Jack- son, remarks that no one has been spoken of t'vt Vice President; and that Mr Calhoun hav- wnw served two terms, cannot, consistently with nsage, be a candidate a third time; and then proceeds to suggest the propriety of putting in nomination for that office, the Hon. Win. II. Crawford The Alabama Journal, something like a year ago, ventured to give an opinion, that if Gen. Jackson should decline a re-elec tion, public opinion in Alabama would, in that event, be in favor ot Martin Van Buren. Thus it appears, that the Journal, with all its hoiluw and hypocritical ravings about Southern doc trines! would bo very willing to sacrifice Mr Calhoun, who is a Southern man, and w hose feelings and interests are peculiarly so, and to take up with a citizen of a Northern State. But we are not disposed at present to enter the list with cavillers, on the subject of the -Vice Presidency; our object is merely to show, that a deadly hostility against Mr. Calhoun is cherished bv men who would leign have it be lieved, that they were the advocates ot tbe true interest ot the South.—Planters (gazette. —icqoooqo:— From the Nashville Republican.

L would “'Jr however, from the following extracts from the iLiusJU Public Advertiser, that there is no longer any raubt on the subject, and that the Jackson party will h^ve a majority of at least six or eight Votes, on a joint ^Washington County.—Wo received last evening a let ter dated Lebanon, Aug. 20H., from a gentleman who has frequently been honored w»th the confidence of tfie citi zens of that county, nhich states, that Dr. iludd, Sena tor is pledg’ d to vote for a Jackson S« n.uor, and the wri- ler'adJs:—“my word for it he will comply with his p:edge, for he is a pei feet gentleman.” The writer slates tfiat Air. Girtonis, and always has been a Jackson man; Mr. Cruiwv, he says, is a Ja. ’-.son man “up to the hub”-and, that Mr. Spalding is a Clay man. but w .s certainly well understood to have pledged himsell to vote for • Jackson Senator. This information settles the controversy, as to the grounds on which tbe Senator and Ucpieseutatives of Washington county were elected. TJ THE EDITOR. Owikgsvu.i.e, Bath Co.

Missoori —We assured ow friends in the crisis of our election, and when some were disposed lo be alarmed at the state of things in this country, that we should have shout two thirds of the ensuing Legislature.—J hat as- sertion is now fulfilled.

Of these the public professions and phonal profession, of 50, are for a Jackson repub lican Senator; two others am counted upon the r known oentiments without professions.

Indeed, from the “busy notes of preparation," we have some reason to believe that our public houses are vying with each other in the style in which they intend to feed and lodge their guests—but we will suspend our unequivocal opinions awhile, until they send us darning advertisements, like friend Buffington, vti.o seems determined to out-do them all—and no doubt will, lo a ctrtain extent—if they do not send us an order to insert at least—Six squares and the bio Houafi. Those who are fond of Geography and Topography, will find much interest in the letter on our first page, giving a description of Sangammon county, Illinois. If (ids account is not exaggerated (and the character of tbe writer and the internal evidence speak that it is not,) Illinois must be one of the most desirable States of the Un ion. The fact that immigration into that State is princi pally from 1 enneisee, Kentucky, &c. proves that it must be one of the finest agricultural und gracing coun tries in the world: We recommend the letter to the at tention of our readers. FRENCH REVOLUTION. We have made large extracts from the latest accounts of this most extraordinary Revolution. They will be found htgfdy interesting. We feel at a great loss in spe culating on ibis subject. One tiling however, is certain— it is an indication of the deep hold which the principles of Liberty have made upon the minds of a brave, but oppres sed people. How far these principles may extend, we are at fault in deciding. But the state of the world cer tainly seems to indicate something like a general ex'en- sion of practical freedom. Oppressed Greece—oppres sed Frunce—and oppressed Ireland, in the old win Id— and oppressed States in South America, in the new—all seem i« feci a spirit-stiring energy, which, if not the same in extent, is certainly the same in its nature. In our own happy country—the freest of the free—the tide of republi can feeling is setting towards the haven of untrammelled freedom. Amid these mighty stirrings of the waters, it becomes the friends of rational liberty and constitutional principle to took to the course which they adopt. They should neither suffer their rights to be wrested from them by encroachment—nor should they, by an cverwean- ing anxiety, or a desire for personal aggrandizement, suf fer the workings of ambition to weaken the salutury re straints oflhe social and political compact. We enjoy, as a nation, the greatest degree of freedom and hsppiness ever enjoyed by any nation. And while we abhor the ruinous suggestion of Mr. Adams, that the Representa tives of the people are not to “be palsied by the mil of their Constituents,” ue hope, that tbe people themselves will not indulge those dangerous doctrines that seem to he hurrying some of them to the very brink of disunion. We think with Mr. Livingston, that the people of this Country will not submit to a deprivation of their rights — We apree with Mr. Calhoun,.that Consolidation and Disu nion on extremes rquallv to be dreaded. It rests with the good sense and enlightened will of the people to preserve us from such extremes. It h is affjrded its great pleasure to behold the warmth of feeling with which our Countrymen, in Savannah, Charleston, and elsewhere, have celebrated this second birth of freedom in France. Thus it becomes freemen’ to strengthen and encourage her principles and her vota ries. The former French Revolution seemed rather to have been the effect of sympathy operating upon the affec tions, from beholding our smuggle, than any settled max ims of freedom and of right. That bloody scene seems however to have been the first conception of freedom— the embryo, which has been imperceptibly growing into shape and energy. It is delightful to contemplate a powerful a'nd enlightened nation redressing her griev ances—punishing her oppressors and then settling down in the calm enjoyment of those rights recovered from the relentless hand of oppression. We hope that the human mind is thus preparing for millenial glory, when the whole world will be Republicans and Christians. The Southern Recorder contains a letter from Mrs. Burritt, enclosing one from her husband, charging Mr. Polhtll with beiug the cause of all his misfortunes. Now, in addition to the faets sftewn by Mr. Polhill—-that Bnr- ritt voluntarily exhonerated him from all blame, said that appearances were against him (Burritt) and that anv oili er person situated as Mr. Polhill was, must have done as he did—when Burnt passed through this place end Ham burg, after abscooding from Milledgeville, be, altogether voluntarily, told two gentlemen of this county, separately, that Mr. Polhill was not in the least to blame in the course he took; that it was imposed upon him by the necessity of the case; and that, if situated as Polfiill was, he should have done the same himself—or words to that effeet.— Burritt would never have thought of attacking Mr. Pol- hill. had he rot lately been encouraged to |o so.by the arch-enemy of that gentleman, to whom it seems be has sold himself, as a mean of destroying Polhill; on condi tion, of course, that be himself should be defended, as he has been, and bis “innocence” asserted. The instrument is worthy of him who uses it. Par nobile fratruml.—Au» gusla Chronicle. It is well known, that no papers in this State have been more decided, determined, aud indignant, in expressions against any interference with our colored population, than the “Federal Union” and the “Augusta Chronicle.”— Those of the latter our leaders ate sufficiently acquaint ed with; and the former, notwithstanding that it has been a constant laborer in the cause of the Union, lately said, that, despite of its attachment to the Union, “the moment any improper interference is attempted with onr slaves, we say, Ut the Union be dissolved.” Yet notwithstanding all this, and that it is well known to the editors of the Southern Recorder, that paper of the 18th instant, after noticing the proposed publication abovementioned, uses the language extracted below. It should not be forgot ten, that the Southern Recorder is the only paper in this State, that had the hardihood (for the purpose of destroy ing an innocent man and a political opponent, the editor of the Federal Union”) to come out openly, and without any just grounds or proof, in defence of the “innocence” of a man indicted, a true bill found, and he fled from jus tice, under the charge of having endeavored to excite in surrection among our colored population. And by this, it (the Recorder) drew down upon itself the openly ex pressed indignation of its warm political friends. It would seem that the Recorder has no other sense of pub lic interest, than to make it subservient to its own pri vate purposes, and vengeful designs; and that it defends ibis incendiary, or attacks that, as sheer malice alone may dictate. For instance, it first gratuitously asserts the “innocence” of Burritt, for the purpose of destroying its political opponent “the Federal Union," and it now at tacks Wm. Lloyd Garrison and his paper, for the purpose of destroying its political opponents, “the Federal Union and the Augusta Chronicle.”—Let the public look calmly on these things, and after sitting in juuga.ent on Burritt, Gatnson. anu the Recorder, decide impartially which is the worst and most daugi rous incendiary of the three! -lb. B*e learn from Capt. Clark, from Porto Cabcllo, that the Venezurlean Government had determined to grant a free toleration of religion, without distinction of sect.— Hitherto no such boon has been granted in any Spanish American Republic, except Buenos Ayres; and even there is by no means complete. ’•Ve also learn that Gen. Paez had issued an order for bidding all merchants to trade in the ports of Venezuela, except citizens in Treaty with Colombia. These na tions are, (besides the sister Republics,) England, the United States, France, the Netherlands, and Brazil.— No others, that we are aware of. Capt. Clark understood that the Venezuelan Congress was still in session, and engaged in discussing the prin ciples of the new Constitution—JV*. Y. Jour, of Com. It is stated in a New York paper that women were found, by a benevolent enquirer, making duck trowsers at four cents a pair, and cottou shirts at seven cents a piece. 1 The sordid employer ought to be “ducked,” for robbing the poor creature of her labor. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE 4 *, * Thursday, December 17th, 1829. HEREAS the number of members, which, under the present provisions of the Constitution of this State, compose tbe General Assembly, is considered by many of the good citizens of the State, by far too nu merous, and sonsequently unnecessarily expensive, for an economical People.—For the purpose iheiefore, of as certaining the voice of the People on this all important and interesting subject— Be it therefore resolved, That all the voters of Georgia who feel fertile interest and prosperity of the Stale, and who wish to reduce the number of the members if the General Assembly of Georgia, be required on the first Monday in October next, to say, on their ticket, if in fa vor of a reduction—“REDUCTION”—if against it, “NO REDUCTION.” Resolved further, That the Superintendents of Elec tions on that day beep a poll of the same, and certify it to the Governor, a statement of ibe poll, and that he j cause tbe same to be laid before the next General Assem bly; und that he cans** these Resolutions to be published Letters have been received in New York by the ship j once a month in the Gazettes of Milledgeville, until tho John Jay, from Liverpool, slating that tbe New York ships Charles Carroll, and Great Britain were chartered to sail from Cherbourg to Naples ; and that the King of France and family would embark to be landed at Naples. An attempt ai Duelling.—A part/ of five mulatto girls were yesterday u.vested and brought before the Mayor; two of them as principals, and the rest as seconds, &c it a duel that was about to take place at the moment they were arrested. The weapons chosen, were pistols, and pocket-knives. The cause of quarrel—a love *crape. It is said that duelling is honorable, that it is a refinement introduced to distinguish the genteel from the vulgar.— Can this any longer be done? ©h what a thing ft duel ling ! Ni .v that slaves and these slave females, have recourse to it, to wipe away the stain of honour, which such a serious insult could give, duelling is very much like a refined and honorable way of avenging an in- suli! Yes, very much like a whale!!—N. O. Xler. election. Approved, December 21,1829. GEORGE K. GILMER, Governor. March 5,1830 227 5ui Nullification of the nullifiers.—The result of the recent elections in Charleston, confirms the expectations we had indulged, that the people of Carolina will not permit them selves to be dragged into disunion by the arts of the de signing The nullifying gentry have been routed, “horse, foot and dragoons” and the flag of the Union waves in tri umph over its victorious supporters. Charleston has set a noble example, which we trust will be imitated through out the State. The Columbia Telescope (the organ of the renowned Cooper) bewails most piteously the defeat cf its brethren, and spares not the use of opprobrious epi thets towards those by whose instrumentality it has been accomplished. This, however, was to be expected—and tbe abuse so profusely showered upon the patriots of Re publican Charleston, by that print, speaks their highest praise. We imagine the triumph of the republicans in Charle-ton, sitsupeasy upon the stomach of our Georgia disonionists. We shall hear much less of it from the co lumns of theirpapers, than was said of tbe “griat state rights bireting.” There was a timely backing out from the advocacy of these gentry, by certain of our neighbors.

His route is through western Virginia. He was at the residence of Major Eaton, ia Franklin, Tennessee, on the 28th ultimo. His visit is said to have been alto gether one of business—having appointed to meet Gene ral CofFee and Major Eaton, on business connected with the Indians. The Chickusaios acceded to the “talk” of the President, re-pubiished in the Louisiana Advertiser. A treaty was concluded st Franklin, iw , bich the lar.de of the Chickasaws are relinquished. They are to remove West of the Mississippi. We gather from tbe Franklin paper that there was an exchange offends. Exchange is no robbery. The laud occupied by the Chick .saws ex- 'end from the Mississippi, at Chickasaw Bluff, entirely across the Northern boundary along the Tennessee line, and continue a little distance into Aiubama. Two of the Cherokee Chiefs, but for what purpose is unknown, proceeded to Nashville on a visit to tbe Presi dent, prior to his departure. The Cherokees, it will be remembered, refused to treat with him.—The Argus. Anti Masonic Contention.—As Mr. Walsh says* they have “let the cat out of the bag.” They appointed a com mittee to report “the most expedient time, place and man ner, for making nominations of candidate for the offices of President of the U. States.” Mr. SteVens of Penn, de clared that unless the Convention took up this subject, they had met in vain.—The Committee reported ia favor of another Convention to be held in September next, lor the purpose of making the nomination. These move ments show the real object of the association. Some de signing politicians seeing the excitement which prevails against Masonry, on account of the murder of Morgan, have come forward to use it for their purposes. Such men as Francis Granger, who, as the Albany Argus re marks, “seeks an elevation that would scarcely be claim ed for him, even by his warmest friends, without some such artificial nid,” are seizing upon it to raise themselves —and others, are seeking to advance their favorite candi date to the Presidency, by such a Coalition. But the good sense of the People will see through the stratagem, and it will recoil upon the beads of its authors. It is one of those canting combinations, which will burn out like the dry stubble. No enlightened patriot would stoop to use it for his own advancement or that of his candidate.— Mr. Jefferson has exposed some of the tendencies of all such artificial associations, in his letter of March, 1822, to Jedediah Morse. Let the parasites of Mr. Clay coque with them as much as they please—and they have full time during the interval, which is intended to receive all such overtures, to make new bargains and coalitions with them —but neither dinners, nor speeches, nor Associations, can raise him to the object of his ambition. Last Evening's Mail.—The Convention adjourned on Friday. They adopted the resolution for holding a Con vention at Baltimore, on the 26th September, 1831, to nominate a President and Vice President, Ac., and they recommended delegates equal in number to the represen tations in both Houses of Congress. In the debate on this resolution, Mr. Irwin ofP. declared, that the Con vention “had met here for no other than political purpo ses!”— Richmond Enquirer, Sept. 21. —:ooooi—■ The following appears in ihe New England Palladium, in a letter from the correspondent of that paper in New York, dated on Saturday: “A circumstance occurred here on Thursday which has been the subject of remark, which I notice has not found its way in detail into the newspapers.—A young man, a clerk in the employ of Haggerty, Austin A Co. our larg est Auction House, was arrested and imprisoned upon a charge of feloniously appropriating to his own use a number of negociable notes, amounting to upwards of 119000, given by various merchants in payment for pur chasers. The payment of the notes has b^en stopped, and the persons, therefore, to whom they have been dis posed of, must lose them. It is said that they were past ed to sundry Lottery Brokers in payment of tickets, and rumors run that the accused has been a large speculator in that business. He was the most active, prompt, and as they supposed, honest person in their oxlensive estab lishment, and has highly respectable connexions here.” Algiers —-The sloup of war Boston, which sailed from hence with Com. Porter, our new Consul Genera! to the Barbary Powers, the latter part of June, could not have arrived un til the first*of August, and consequently the new Consul General must have found himself rather in a dilemma, in the absence of any go vernment, to whom he could present his let ters of credence.—lb. A very deplorable scene took place in the course of the attack ou the Algerine entrench ments, so valiantly carried out by troops.— Several French soldiers pursuing some fuga lives that they saw take refuge in a house endeavored to force the door but it with stood their blows, and in their impatience, they fired their muskets at the pannels, and then precipitated themselves into the house.- The first object which struck their view was a young Jewess. 16 years of age, beautiful as the Jesssica ol Shakespere, who was expir ing on the marble pavement. She had been pierced by two balls in the breast It was in vain they sought to recall her to life. Eugene Isabey, who arrived some minutes after the disaster, has drawn her portrait. Gen.

Edmund Shackleford, aged 49 years, two months and 22 days. He died suddenly of a relapse, af. ter the most plersing hopes had been entertained of his re covery. A feeling community will sympathise with his pious and afflicted widow and his bereaved children. He was received into the Baptist Church at the early age of to, soon after which, he began to call upon his fello-v crea tures “to repent and believe ihe Gospel,” and within a year or two, was ordained to tbe ministry. He was very successful in winning souls to Clirist, and many most pleasing revivals have existed in the various Churches of which he was from time to time the Pastor. In his pul pit exercise, he was zealous, animated, and often elo quent. He entered with zeal into the benevolent schrmes of ihe day; and by his death the Church has not only been shorn of one of her brightest beams but the cause of Temperance has keen bereft of an able and efficient ad vocate. The writer of this article well remembers that at the last meeting of the Georgia Temperance Society, ma ny tears were sited under bis touching appeals. How mysterious is the Providence of God, how “unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” A little before his death, he summoned his fsmily to his bed side, aud addressed ‘.hem in the most feeling manner up on the important concerns of eternity. He held sweet communion with God throughout his illness, except a momentary darkness which overshadowed his mind a few hours before his death; it was however but for a moment, and again he was enabled to rejoice in God. Even after his speech failed, he manifested by his gestures that all was well with his soul, and that he was dying in the glori ous hope cf a blessed immortality. The infidel may boast •of his vain philosophy, and scoff at the religion of Jesus, but there is nothing which can dispel the awful gloom that hangs around the grave—there is nothing which can sustain the soul when flesh and heart foil, and while ‘he world “recedes and disappears,” but the animating hopes to be found in the gospel.-t-SoulAmi Recorder.
