The Election.
We give, in another column, all the re
turns that have been received, at the Exec
utive Department, up to the time of our
going to press.
Sufficient intelligence has been re
ceived, from the different Districts to au
thorize us in saying that the following
named gentlemen have been elected, by
the Democrats :—Messrs. Cobh, Haralson,
Iverson and Lumpkin—and, that the Whigs
have succeeded in electing Messrs. Jones,
King, Stephens and Toombs. Which
makes our delegation equally divided, in the
30th Congress.
It will be recollected, by our leaders,
that the Whig Legislature of 1843, went
the whole amount, in so arranging the
State, into Congressional and Senatorial
Districts, as to secure to themselves the
power over Georgia. But, in the Fourth
District, they reckoned without their host,
as Gen. Haralson defeated his Whig oppo
nent, bj o-57, at the first election, after the

votes—making Gen. H’s gain about 10S8

So that instead of being disappointed at
the result of the recent election, we have
cause rather of congratulation, having e-
lected, at least, one member more than the
Whigs designed we should, when they dis
tricted the Stale. There, probably, never
was in Georgia an election, about which
such apathy and indifference prevailed—
particularly, on the part of the Democrats
—living as most of them do, in the coun
try, engaged in agricultural pursuits—at a
very busy season of the year and at a dis
tance from the cities, towns and places
where elections are held, it is not to be
wondered at, that there should be such a
falling off, in the Democratic vote, in many
of the counties.

Our Army.
To the exclusion of much of the matter
-we had prepared for to-day’s paper, we
give place to the glorious news from our
gallant Army in Mexico. It will be seen
that Monterey and Santa Fe are now in
possession of our troops. The former ca
pitulated only after three days bard lighting
in which our men suffered much; the latter
was taken without firing a gun.
Full accounts of both will he found in
preceding columns; to which we deem it
hardly necessary to direct the readers’ at-
-tention.

pers, upon what is deemed good authority,
th; it Gen. Almonte lias been appointed Pres-

raising and organizing troops, intending to

Tbe Sonthcrn Recorder aud direct
Taxation.
The Southern Recorder seems to insist
that the Democratic party are in favor of
direct taxation, and to be rather dissatisfied
that we did not enter into a grave aud la
bored argument to disprove what no candid
man believes, and what we are disposed to
doubt that our neighbor believes. When
we say that we doubt that the Southern Re
corder really believes that our party are in
favor of this policy, wc design to compli
ment its good sense, rather than disparage
its candor. We put the question directly
to our neighbor, to say whether he really
thinks there is any party in the United
States favorable to a resort to direct taxa
tion. That there may^be individuals found
in both parties who think that this mode of
raising revenue for the support of Govern
ment is the best on principle and the most
equitable in its operation, it is not necessa
ry for us to deny. But is it fair, therefore,
to argue that it is the policy of either party?
Is it fair and ingenuous to assert ofthe dem
ocratic party that they advocate such a poli
cy, because individuals mty be found in
our ranks who have expresred opinions fa
vorable to it? Consider for a moment how
such a mode of reasoning wmld operate.—
There are many prominent men aud press
es in the whig party, who ar? opposed to
slavery—who consider it a great moral and
political evil—and whodeaire its eradication.
Would it be fair and charitabb, therefore,
to say that the whole whig parly are aboli
tionists? And yet it is just as fair and plausi
ble as the course of argument adopted by
the Recorder, on the subject of direct tax
ation.
The disappoinlment of the Recorder, at
our despatching its columns of “twaddie”
on this subject, by only a paragraph, is
manifest from the indifference which it
feigns" and may fed for the import of out
pointed and conclusive quotation from the
Washington Union. And it is a little amus
ing to observe the facility with which the
Recorder disposes of the Union’s declara
tions; and it is as mortifying, as amusing to
witness its inconsistency, in the use which
it makes of the Government organ to suit
the various objects which it may have in
view. When the Recorder can glean a
fragment from the Washington Union, on
which it can predicate a charge against the
Administration or the democratic party,
then it considers that organ of the highest
authority and pronounces its declarations
binding on the whole party. But when this
same press denies such charges, in the most
unequivocal language, the Recorder is un
willing to consider it as expressing the
views of the party, and only gives it “cred
it as far as itself is concerned.”
The charge that the democratic parly are
in favor of direct Taxation, is too absurd to
be debatable. This is our apology, if any
be necessary, for not imitating the Record
er, in filling two columns, in reply to the
string of garbled extracts, with which it
treated its readers just on the eve of an
election—perhaps with the patriotic design
to excite unfounded alarm in the public
mind. Suffice it to say, that our neighbor
has made the charge—holds the affirmative
of the issue and the onus probandi rests up
on the Recorder. It was only incum
bent on us to plead not guilty. This
we have done with all the confidence of con
scious innocence. We shall not give room
for doubt of our sincerity; by waging need
less controversy until that print, at least,
makes out a prima facie case against us.—
Its proof must be plausible, at least, before
we can be expected to enter into a grave
ami formal defence.
Now we shall not charge the whig party
with being in favor of direct taxation. We
will not do ourselves injustice, as some peo
ple do, by doing injustice to others. But
we would respectfully ask, why tbe Record
er did not reply to the suggestion which we
threw out in our last—that the protective
policy inevitably leads to direct taxation?
Without enlarging, we will again venture
to make the intimation to our neighbor.—
Will he have the kindness to respond to
this question. If the protective principle
(which the whig party advocates) be carried
into perfect consummation, does it not create
• -- — J --.— •—
Piotective duties must be to a certain ex
tent prohibitive, and, in proportion as they
are prohibitive, they diminish revenue.—
Well, in the event of deficiency of revenue,
taxation must be increased. This taxation
must be either direct or on imports. If up
on imports, it is but a further extension of
the prohibitive principle, and a further stride
to the necessity for direct taxation.
Again: the protectionists justify them
selves upon the plea of encouraging domes
tic manufactures. Well, suppose manufac
tures be encouraged to the extent of mak
ing every thing which vve consume within
ourselves, then the necessity of importation
would be obviated and the revenue from
that source cut off. Will the Recorder de- j
ny that such a state of things would lead to
direct taxation. We assert, therefore, that [
the tendency of the protective policy is to j
direct taxation—the whigs advocate that j
policy. That party, therefore, if any party !
be, is the diiect taxation party. We sug- !
g'fst these views to the Recorder. Perhaps
mature deliberation upon them, may teach
him a lesson of charity for the democratic
party, which, to say the least, he does not
practice, however kind may be his emotions.

WISTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.
There are so many “certain cures” for coughs,
colds, and even consumptions, that we are sometimes
disposed to question the efficacy of any of them. Mr.
S.W. Fowle, a druggist ofthe highest reputation, at
133 Washington Street, has the agency of an article
called Balsam of Wild Cherry, which seems to have
won for itself a good reputation where ever ithas been
introduced- We have seen letters from various
parts ol New England, from persons of the highest
standing in the places where they reside, bearing tes
timony to themselves or friends haereceived from a
trial of its properties.
Extract Ironi a letter dated
Petersburg, Va., Jau. 15. 1845.
A gentleman of unquestionable veracity informs
us that his brother had been confined to his bed for
weeks with some species ofcough, that baffled the
skill of several eminent physicians, and by the use of
two bottles of Wistar's Balsam of IVild Cherry, he has
been restored to perfect health, and he is now “a fat
and hearty man.”

It is unnecessary (or the Board to say anything as
regards the favorable location of Midway—of its
healthfulness—of its social and religious advantages,
Ac., as they are well known to the public—butdeem
it only necessary to add, that as regards pecuniary
consideration, the Institution in the hands of compe
tent teachers, well qualified to sustain a school ofhigh
grade, willalwayscommand a liberal support.
A Gentleman and Lady would be preferred; and
none need apply who cannot offer undoubted testi
monials of their ability to sustain a School at which
Young Ladies may receive all the advantages of a
substantial as well as ornamental education,

mencing at 10 o’clock, A. M.
These Lots are situated on a street parallel with the
Rail Road, commencing at a point 1000 feet North of
the Depot building, or Freight-house, and running
with the R. Road £ mile, within 250 feet of the track
the whole distance, most conveniently arranged, for
all business purposes, being 100 feet wide, and all of
it, now in progress of clearing, ditching, and grading.
Lots for Dwellings, will be offered for Sale ut the
same time, pleasantly situated, on a street, running
parallel with the R. Road, and business street, some
400 yards West of the same, with ample grounds for
yards in front, gardens, out-houses, &c., in the rear.
Also, Farms within a circuit of three miles of the
town, of from 10, 20, 30 to 1 or 200 acres of the choic
est tillable lands, in Murray county.
The State R. Road, now finished to within 21-
miles of this place, it is the intention of the Direction
of the Road, that it shall be in full operation to this
f ioint iu all the month of January, 1847, connecting a
ine of Rail Roads to Augusta, Ga., and Charleston,
S. C., of 400 miles; and a line to Macon, and Savan
nah, Ga., of about the same distance;—the Mail com
ing through from New York, iu four days, and only
30 hours from Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S. C.
That Cross Plains is to be a point of much trade,
none can doubt, who will refer to the Map of the line
of Rail Roads terminating there, from the South, and
the old and important Market Roads, extending to it,
from Tennessee, on the North.
For locations, it is the summit level of the R. Road
between the Oostananl* River, and Mill Creek,—dis
tant from each other some 26 miles; it is bordered on
its Eastern and Western sides, with beautiful ranges
of hills, and i9 considered the most healthy spot, in
one of the most healthy regions of the whole Chero
kee country.
Merchants, wishing to change their present busi
ness locations, or seeking business; Mechanics, and
those looking for healthy locations to settle in, and
desirous of building up a respectable and permanent
community, we venture to predict, will be well re
paid, for a visit to the place on the day of Sale.
