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 notwithstanding, at the previous election there was a majority in their favor of 531 votes—making Gen.

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. tur«t» it W0 Jn 'h b "! rode about, b.

In’ the mean time all that part of the square from the demo cratic pole, on Broad street, south to the bridge, was consumed. The fire crossed over to west lide of 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.

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. ELECTION RETURNS.

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.” Yours, respectfully, ROSSER & ANDERSON, Druggists For sale by W.
