Notwithstanding tho apprehensions of many
presses throughout this, and other States, in re
gard to the nationality of the Atnericun Party
in New York, we are able to announce that the
news of each suecossire week from that quar
ts of a highly acceptable character. There
was a time, wc arc bound in candor to admit,
juston the eve of Sctvavti s election, when the
conservatism of the party seemed somewhat
questionable, llow much soever the solicitude
of the South may have been heightened at that
time, by a prospr olive view of political issues,
we recent dcvelopeiuoBtfl have been sufficient

ocally refuted, than could hare been none uj
the ingenuity of sepbistry or the cogency of the
soundest logic. While we are willing to admit
that many, nay. even the majority of the Amer
ican Party in New York are opposed to the in
stitution of slavery, we by no means are rre
pared to concede to the opinion that the design
of the Orgaoiration, n* such, is an infringement

mneipares us from many sour-
dssensiou. The Piatforra, as pub-
world. by no means militates a*
the sectional interests of the Southern
On the other hand, it embodies the
al of those Tery principles for
which the ?ou:h was contending in tho great
straggle of 1550. Its avowed determination is
« to “oppdM a’ ‘ higher law doctrines, by whieh the
constitution is ta be set at nought, violated, or
disregarded, whether by pofiticiaas or religion-
sets, or by the adherents or followers of either,
or any other class of person*." Itjnoreorer, as*
lores vu that iU aim i» the "defence and main
tenance of the Constitution as it stands, the Un
ion as it exist«,*and rise rights of the States with
out diminution as guaranteed thereby"
It is often said, and with some degree of truth-
falnes*. too. that very little reliability is to be
placed in adopted platforms; hut it would seem
tigm the proceedings of this new party, that it
is disposed to maintain a rigid adherence to its
published principles. As might hare been rea
sonably expected, the rapid accession of mem*
hers at fir't, rendered the admissibility of un
worthy men highly probable. If the Order has
erred by an injudicious admission of such per
sona it has nobly redeemed its character, and
tone mutual justice to itself and its outcasts
well timed expul dons.
In another column will be found a letter from
’Ir. Wilsox, the Senator elect from Massachn-
♦tta. His position is therein, well defined. It
will be remembered that this is the man against
whom the most malignant vituperations were
volunteered- He was charged as being an ab
olition •* *ujdan exponent of tho order to which
he belonged. We haro no disposition to defend
him in his past political course, for he was a fi t
subject of rebuke : but if he in future will do
n<>thing in violation of the doctrines published
in his letter, he cannot be an object of much ap
prehension. We infer that he, no matter what
may have been his political creedheretofore, will
•titer the Senate as an American, not as nfanatic.
Taking hi* own words as an index of his future
actions, we see no ostensible reason why they
fhouid not hush tho c!am*r of those who
hare arraigned themselves against the American
Party as an ally and an auxiliary of Abolition-
jjm. Every vulnerable point in the new order
has been diligently availed by tbe enemy. Thus
far, the very javelins that have been dipped in
the poison of malice, or misrepresentation, and
barlel at the Know Nothings, have recoiled
with two-fold vengeance upon the assailants
themselves.
Unless some fortuitous and unforeseen dis
sension arise to disintegrate this rapidly increa
sing party, it will in a few years, do much to
disenthrall our country of .corrupting influen
ces and polj$ed licentiousness. Well then might
it congratulate itself on the dawn of a now po
litical era. Tho throes and convulsions of ex
piring parties are ever simultaneous with the
ushering in of a brighter and more auspicious
future. By a gradual blending of all true Am
ericans into one great and common brotherhood,
the turbulent commotion which has been, and
now is, characterizing our political conditions,
will ultimately cease, A change Is already be
ing wrought mysterious in its operations, silent
in its progre*», and unerring in the achieve
noentof its derign. At its approach tho cun
ning artifice* of the political tactician are baffled,
the renal offerings of the aspiring trickster arc
rendered inefficient, and the voice of tho dema
gogue u hushed to sQeaee. The nun of merit,
ho who deserves a higher office, tsWHMi he has
faithfally discharged the duties of a tower one,
must be the people's choice. The pampered and
portly dignitary of a borough "regency” who
has no higher claims than the accidental ones
of conutnguiniiy, shall no longer be a nucleus of
power. Instead of aspiring to still higher po
sitions, b« shall stop and pause with astonish
ment that be has already attained a sbpere above
that in which nature ever designed him to move.
The time in not far distant when the ballot-box
_ will cease beiDg the roceptocle of votes elicited
by bribery, extorted by threats, purchased by
promises, or prompted by drunkenness. When
such a change shall have been fully wrought, the
man of Ulent, integrity and of patriotism will
be the one, the only cue, entitled to the expec
tancy of political or official honor. So mote it

fitvenisr Johnson, In Floyd and Polk.
Within the last few weeks we haro had a very
favorable opportunity of ascertaining the feel
ings ofthe people In Floyd and Polk counties
in regani to tho re-election of Mr. Johnson.
If we may dc chico any correct conclusions from
the popular voice, so far as we have heard U ex
pressed, Gov. Johnson would get but few rotes
In this section. Tho Whigs are against him,
the Union Democrats are opposed tor Wro, and
the Know Nothings, (who are said to be- very
numerous hereabouts,) would prefer any other
man than him- The old line Democrats, those
who are clutching at the floating planks of their
sbnttfTfd raft, of course would vote for him, if
nominated. If ho should come out as a candid
ate, be will stand a poor chance in Northern
QOnegin, that’s certain.
Romans. Read This!
The stringency of money BMtten during the *
present season, undo consequent depression in
business transactions generally, are plausible
arguments against lavish expenditures either
public or private. Notwithstanding this, it U
very appropriate to take into consideration, and
discuss the merits of any enterprise which may,
when carried into execution, rcdouucd to tho
interest of our city and of tho ai(jaeont country.
We know of no ono ofa mere local nature, whieh
should reed the approval andeooperation of our
citizens saors cordially, than that of rendering
Rome a plnco of Summer resort to tbs people of

compare favorably with those of largeer cities,
commodious in their structure, and convenient

such sources of amusement as would enable
them to pas* off their time pleasantly and agree-
His to be apprehended that very Utile elfort
baa ever been made to efifect this desirable ob.
jeet. Living as we do, from the main lino of
public travel, few, save those whoso business
oalls them this way, everjvlsit the place; and
hence, its true charaoter is not generally known.
We would suggest to our landlords the propriety
of advertising extensively in the southern
portions ofthe State, and of using such other
means as would have a tendency to direct atten
tion hither. We boUove they would be remu
nerated four fold thereby. A sojourn of visi

We observe that the eitbens of Marietta
are making commendable efforts to famish
thslr town with aeonvenlent Hotel for tho visi

Wfll not somo action be token by our citizens
indicative of their desire to equal other towns

x Charles J. Jenkins.
. Judging from such information, as we bare
received, both public nnd private, wc should in
fer that in Central Georgia, tho Hon. C. J Jen
ifers is the choioo of the majority, as a can
didate fer the Gubernatorial Chair. Consid
ering it premature, as we do at present, to dis
cus* the merits of different men for that office
we wiD only go so far as to state, that if he be-
comos ihe regular nominee, there is no man
whose claim* we should more cheerfully advo-
oate to the best of our ability. He is assuredly
a man wordy the highest honors ofthe State—
one who would acquit himself with great credit
in any office within the gift ofthe people.
The Hon. A. H. Stephen's in a recent letter
to the Editor of the Savannah Republican, in
regard, to the -man whom he considers the most
suitable for our next Governor, makes use of
the following language:
Dea r Sir :—I have just received, from a friend
in a distant part of the State, a "slip” taken
from a late number of tho Republican, whieh is
here appended—
And from tho tone of the letter accompany
ing it, I deem it proper, in order to prevent oil
misconstruction of my position on tho subject,
to state, that, while I entertain for Mr. Dawson
the highest respect, andshall give him my cor
dial support for the office of Governor, if he be
selected and nominated by a convention of those
with whom it has been my pride as well as plea*'
nrc heretofore to act, yet I had nothing whatev
er to do with the "movement” alluded to.-
Mr. Jenkins, over and above.every other man
in the State, is the man of my choico and pref
erence for Governor.

We opine that the editor, by his corage out and
n dependent course, in espousing a creed which
commends itself to the’approval of every one de-
sirous of protecting the American, interest, will
be a subject of persecution by bis old political as
sociates. Our cotemporary of the SIgnal must
expect to incur the male dictions of the present
Administration party. Be it so; their ranks are
growing "bcantifallyles3” and, erelong, the pres
ent Executive Head called upon to retire to pri.
vale life and make room for one whose views and
aetions will beUer comport with tho wishes of
of the people. The Signsl says: '
We publish this week what are said to be the

not know anything about the Know Nothings*
but this much we do know, that if such are the
prinepiles of the so called order, they are such

Rorticu! urv
At this season of the year ovory family feels
more or less interest in this important subject,
and have an anxiety to know the best varieties
of vegetables and fruits, andtbo best mode of
cultivation.
Many new, and extravagantly recommended,
kinds of plants nnd modes of culture have been,
and aro now, being treated of in onr Agricultur
al and Horticultural Journals. But it is too fre
quently the ease that this is done by those who
bare gone into it os a speculation, and by undu
ly setting forth the advantages and keeping
back the disadvantages of their new projects,
have misled tho people, till now suggestions in
this lino have come to be ftgardrfS as "humbng-
gery” and “moon-thino."
If it i* impolitic to adopt all innovations, it
Is equally so to discard them all, for there are
real, substantial improvements being made and
such as men baring an eyo to their own inter
est, and good living, onght to adopt Now the
question naturally arising is, how shall we know
what to adopt and what to neglect Thl
can be satisfactorily answered only after
actual trial, for it, is eertian and reliable
information that is needed now, and not
merely "good suggestions” from persons bar
ing no practical knowledge. No ono man eon
test all the so-called improvements, and hence
we suggest the formation of a Horticultural So*
doty, which shall hold meetings, say monthly,
in which persons feeling an interest in snob
matters, may, in a familiar way, discuss the
merits of various plant* and fruit* nnd modes
of c ulture, and report their experiments.
We will devote *ono column of tho Courier
weekly to tho publication of original articles on
this and kindred subjects, if so nines should bo
contributed; and we hereby invito gebtiomen
to send ns communications containing useful
practical information, written ns concisely as
may be, and we will publish them with pleasure.
We hope the subject will receive the attention
that its importance demands, and that somo
means will bo devised by whieh u healthful in
terest may be exeitod, and improvements made
in accordance with the spirit of the timer.

YIELD NOT TO DESPAIR.
Awoke mourningpilgrim, thou sleepost too long,
Awake from tby sadness, awake to the song
That nature is swelling,and press on awhile,
Entranced by her rousie, caress'd by her smile,
Together we’ve drank’from life’s bitterest cap,
But come, let us onward and ever look np;
For wby should a pilgrim surrender to care,
Or yield his last lingering hope to despair?
Awake mourning pilgrim, awake from thy dream
Why, why will yon cling to a sorrowful theme
That rises before thee as Appenine heights.
Transforming tby days into gloomiest nights ?
Awake, and look oat oo’r this beautiful world,
And catch from Hope's rays on her banner un
furl’d,
Twas felly 'twas folly to yield to despair.
Oh say, mourning pilgrim, bast thou ever sought
Earth's wealth and ber feme and condemned
^ item as nought?
Then awake, for thy doty requires theo now
To banish the shadow that mantles thy brow:
And labor with diligence, prudence and love,
To guide fellow pilgrims to glory above;
Obey ber behest and away with your care,
'Tis sinful, 'tie sinful to "yield to despair.
Oh spoak mourning pilgrim, what meaneth those
sighs
And tears that aro flowing so feat from thine
eyes
Have dear ones departed, thy bosom friends gono
And left tboe to wander a pilgrim alon 0 ?
I've wept o’er my plighted ones corpse at her
tomb, •'
And then was my spirit encircled in gloom,
But hope of her bliss found me laden with care.
And bade me not yield myself np to despair.
Perhaps mourning pilgrim somo hypocrite’ skiss
Has won thy reliance, then blighted thy bliss;
But will yon for this, all as traitors oxpose,
And never in future, in any reposo?
Condemn not thy race on account ofa few,
Bnt think, and think wisely that many are true
If this be tho cause of tby withering, care,
Arise, and resolve that yon will not despair!
Awake mourning pilgrim, time flieth with baste
And thou hast no moment in slumbor to waste
Already tbon nearest death’s mythical stream
And faith would reveal thee a hallowed gleam,
Of tho Christian’s repose, and bear thee away
From earth and bar woes to Immaculate day,
If you would not pause to consider your care,
Nor foolishly yield yoursolf up to depair.

Mr. Grimes left on Friday fer the Sooth with
the funds. The U. S. District Attorney and
tho U. S. Marshal, each contributed $50.
At the recent town oloetions in tho interior
of New York, the Know Nothings have almost
without exception carried the day. It is evi
dent that Mr. Seward’s return to the Senate
was a violation of the will of the people, as
in those towns represented by the recusant
Know Nothing members of the Legislature, the

Murder or a King.—A continental corres
pondent of the London Morning Advertiser
writes: “A very unfortunate erent has just oc
curred at the Hague—an ovonrof so diatress-
ingn nature that I should hositate to narrate
it, but that it comes to mo from unquestionable
authority. The King of Holland lately went
to visit one of his mistresses and found one of
his aid-de-camps closeted with her. The King
rushed upon the officer and stabbed him; the
wound, it is said, has proved fetal, and great
exertions are being made in high places to keep
this honible tragedy from the public.”

A young lady writes ns that a plausible scamp
calling himsolf Jesse Taylor, after inducing hor
to many him, by false representations, has lo
ped with a married woman, with whom he
-is now living in Sonth Carolina. She de
scribes him as a good looking young man
about 20 years of age, abont 5 feet, 8 or ten inch
es high, with dark eyes and hair. She then asks
what we would advise her to get rid of him.—
We would advise her to “let them travel,” as
any redress for such a grievance, would only bo
adding insult to injury. He deserves to be rode
through South Carolina on a rail cushioned with
living poronpines—to be fed on fish hooks, and
to sleep on circular Baws. It would take two

It is a dangerous counterfeit The gninoa plato

Strychnia and its Antidote.—In tbe last
namboroftha Medical and Surgical Journal,
published in Richmond, wo notice an artiolo in
it on tho abovo powerfal and sudden poison, by
Dr. Tewkesbury, of Maino. Ho says: . .• y*
"Thu frequency with which stryennia is used
for poisining purposes, has attracted tho serious
attention not only of medical men but tho pnbllo
generally. Tho deadly certainty with which it
nets, tho enso of administration, and tho difficul
ties which surround ovory attempt to prove,
with poaitivo certainty. Us presouoo in the stom
ach, all unito *to givo this drag a droadfal noto
riety.
“Dr. T. then procoods to montioninstances of
his being cnllod to sco persons who had taken
wilfully and by mistake doses of strychnia, and
that ho hud giren thorn about two tenspoonfula
of saturated solntion of camphor, with mnnifost
effect »nd prompt relief. Ho also triod it by
way of experiment on dogs, and found that,
whenever he could administer the camphor
Bpoedily enough, ho was success!!:! In prevent
ing the poison from causing death.”
We clip the following sensible communication
from the Southern Becordor and recommend it
to a careful perusal. Unlike tbe great majority
of Domoorats, tbo author bos tho candor to
spook oat boldly in favor ofamnnof true merit,
notwithstanding Mr. Jenkins belongs to a sohool
of polities widoly differing from his own.
Messrs. Editors: After an unbroken-political
calm of many months, unmistakablo signs in
various quarters, very clearly indicate that tbs
country is shortly to be agitated by tbe discuss
ion of titepretonstons of tho different candid
ates who may be nominated to fill tbo Executive
chair, upon the expiration of the present term.
Already in anticipation of the coming contest,
tho names of several distinguished gontlemon
have been submitted to the publio, as worthy to
be promoted to tho leadership; and prominently
at tho head of tho list, I am happy to poreeire
that of Chablrs J. Jenkins, a name which at
dboo associates with it all the personal qualities
and political qualifications which, evon in the
S IM of his former opponents rendorjhis nomina-
on one lit to flo mode. Indeed man J,' very many,
dispassionately looked at tho^proseht atUtndo of
partios, at their near approximation to ea6b oth
er, by theocenpaney of the same platform, will
cheerfully ftf** him tbatynpport whieh from an
overexcited state of feeling was withheld from
him inlho last contest They justly consider
they are guilty of no inconsistency on thoir part,
in sustaining tho man whose past action, in
their sober second thoughts they now approve
and applaud. A great change in this respect is
being wrought in the public mind. No one who
has mingled freoly with the people in the last
few months, and heard tbo expressions of their
sentiments oan avoid arriving at this eonolu-
sion. Editors may write what thoy may, and
old Honkers may rant and rave abont the ne
cessity of preserving old parties, hut every man
capable of thinking for hitnself must readily per
ceive that tho questions wbieh formally made
ono a Whig, and a nother a Democrat, no lon-
gorj engross and distract the public mind. These
are no longer subjects of controversy and dis*
missions; they have been superseded by tbe
presentation of issues wbieh bavo promptly in
duced both partios to disconnect themselves
from all who were the advocates of a policy in-
vssivo of their constitutional rights and subver
sive of their local interests. After assuming
this position, I can bnt regard it as an error on
the part of onr Democratic friends, that'thoy
should have been in haste to rejoin thoir old
associates whilst they still continued to be
strongly tictnred with free-soil and abolition
principlte. I still hope they will retrace' their
steps, that Georgia may no longer present the
spectacle ofa people divided among thomselves
in refereoco to matters, in which all profess, we
should act as ono man. And with a view to
produce this desirable result, Mr. Jenkins will
be cheerfully supported by
,* MANY DEMOCRATS.
THE CZAR IN HIS SLEDGE.
Let ns stand on one side, for tbe Emperor is
coming; he is dressed in a grey military cloak,
and leather helmet ornamented with gold; pre
cisely similar to that of any officer. He has a
fine feet; bis fair complexion and tbe general
cast of bis features show his German descent,
bnt there is something peculiarly disagreeable
about his eyes. His noble figure amply fills the
sledge wbieh drives at a rapid pace past us.—
His*majesty looks older than a few months ago;
his hair is grayer and his sbolders rounder,
yet be is a fine man still. He'acknowledges the
low bows of bis people by a military salute, and
leaves behind him, as be advances, many open
months and wide staring eyes among tbe sheep
skin gentiy who perhaps have bnt just come
into St. Petersburg with the "Winter-loads,”
andean scarcely gaze their fill at tbe Czar,
whom in their Ignorance they imagine a kind
of God upon the earth. Look! the Emperor is
giving a military salute to some ladies in ablne
carriage, with two Cossacks in scarlet behind;
it is ber a Majesty tbe Empress and her daughter.
The red uniform of the Cossacks is the distinct
ive mark between ber lively and that of the
heir apparent which is bine.—The English
Woman in Russia.
_ /ST-Fromourown personal observation we are
satisfied; that the principles of the American par
ty are daily gaining adherents everywhere Onr
recent trip to Walton convinced us that tbe
movement is what it has been represented to be,
not the work of broken down party hacks and
superannuated demagogues (these oppose it
bitterly)—but' a general uprising of tho time
American People who. feel and know that their
dearest rights are imperilled, and are determin
ed to make a united effort-regardless of former
party alignment^ to rescue from the prfoanation
of native demagogues and foreign criminals,
paupers and Jesuits, tbo liberties, whieh their
fathers transmitted to them. We aro satisfied
that the movement is onward and in tbe right
direction It is high time that the people be
np and doing—there is no time to spore in idle
indeeision, Let them show their hands at once;
either take sides with their own patriotic coun
trymen, or join the “Swiss Guards” land’“for
cign leigions” commanded by the hooks and
demagogues of rotten, worn out partios,

Dear Biddy:—We’ve had a bit of fun here
abouts lately, that I thought would plazo you
and Father Muipby, your Coufissor, that you
must tell about it, to show what we boys can
do whin wo’ve a mind to try our hand. „
The bloody Know Nothings have got a man
in the Post Office here who. is a hcrotiolc and

S t our Captain to sind it on to Jimmy O*-

tbe thing done. As soon ns Jinnny resaved it
he kept dark and didn’t tell the.Prisidinta
word about it—for you see It was none of bis
bisness—but fixed up the papers righ t away to
have a frind of ours, by the name of-O'Hugh,
put in tbo place.
We’ve done the thing open and above board,
for all of our boys had a hand in it—nope of
your saeret Know-Nothin doins—-we . only kept
it from the Protestants and here ticks, to keep
them from making a muss, and our Captain was
a good fellow and throe frind of ours, and
wouldn't do any thing saeretiy, but is always
open and above board in everything.* Now you
naden't belavo a word of the Know Nothins

have sich frinds as Nelly's son for our Captain,
and Jhrunes O’Campbell at Government
We’ll have things our awn way, Biddy ma-

Senator Wilson on Slavery and American
■. Ism*
’. Washington, Fob. 17, 1855.
Bear Sir:—Referring you to my oditoriols
for the last two weeks, I havo to ask you how
far I bayo correctly represented your views in
my comments upon your letterof20th .January,
and tho articles in tho Boston Boo, which I
havo copied? In other words, do you or not
recognize tho dootrino of State rights, so far os
to permit tbo several States to regulate tho
question of slavery in their own mode within
their Stnto limits? Do you or not entertain the
opinion that CongreM has power to interfere
with slavery in the State 7 Do you or not rec
ognise that "higher law” doctrino, which per
mits you os a Senator to disregard tho binding
obligation of tho constitution ? Does tho ‘Ameri
can organization” in Mass&chusotts, embrace
tho question of elaveiy amongst those for
the regulation of which that organization was
formed. * '
„ Youranswor, nt your earliest convenience,
will oblige your obedient servant,
VespasianEllts,
Editor American Organ.
Hon. Henry Wilson, U. S. Sonato.
Senate Chamber, Feb. 19, 1855
Dear Sir:
My answer to your inquiries will be brief and
explicit
-1st I faUy recognizo tbe doctrines of State
rights in its application to slavery, as well as to
any other matter of public concom.
The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of
1798, in the main, as I think, correctly set forth
that deetrine.
Tbe whole subject of slavery within State
limits should be left absolutely to State Legis
lation.
2d. My response to year second question is
Included in my answer to your first I do not
entertain the opinion that Congress has any
power to interfere with slavory, aa it oxists un
der State laws.
3d. Every man who believes in a God most
necessarily believe that there is a law para
mount to all .human law, and that this law is to
be obeyed by men in public and private life,
rather than any human Jaw in conflict with it
But I see nothing in the constitution of the
United States, as I understand the Constitution
of the United States, wbioh requires me, as a
Senator from Massachusetts, to do anything in
conflict with the law Of God. HI thought
otherwise, I would not take an oath to support
the Constitution of tbe United States.
4tb. The American Organization in Massa
chusetts does not embrace the question of slave
ry among those for the regulation of whieh it’
was formed.
The people of Massachusetts have fixed opin
ions in which most of the members of that or
ganization fully concur, against the rapport or
allowance of slavery by national legislation.' •
They entertain the most profound conviotionl
that the harmony and repose of the country,
and the highest interests of the master and the
slave demand that the government
should be relieved from aE connexion with re”
sponsibility for slavery, and that this distur
bing question should be left to the people of
the States where it exists.
While they-do not seek to impose thofseow-
victions and opinions upon their ARow^itfetas
of other States, or to proscribe them for not
. frilly concurring in those eonvietioas and opin
ions, they wili submit to no dictation or pro=
scription from any body or men, or section of
the country.
I, ns a Senator from Massachusetts, shall
claim for the opinions of ber people all tbe free
dom of utterance, and all the influenco upon the
action of Congress and tbe administration of
tbe government, which a Senator from Virgin
ia can claim fer tbe opinions' of the people of
the ancient Dominion.
Yonrs truly, Hexrt Wilson.
Vespasian Elfis, Esq.
r ' Charles J. Jenkins.
Believing that any agitation of the Guber
natorial question 'for somo time to eomo would
be premature, if net mischievous, we have pur
posely abstained from all discussion of the sub
ject Nothing, so far as we could see, was to
be gained by bringing it forward at this early
day; whereas, a different potiey might and we
believe would, result in positive good. The
people of Georgia just now are separating into'
four political divisions—Whigs, Democrats,
Know-Nothings and Temperance men; and,
without prudence on tbe part of the conserva
tive press, each of these divisions may be dri
ven to make distinct nominations^—a consum
mation meat devoutly to be deplored. There
need not, and should not, be more than two
candidates for Governor. One of these candid
ates will be nominated by the supporters of the
present ^National and State administrations;
and tbe other should be solected by tbe oppo
nents of those administrations. Should this
policy be adopted, there^need not be the least
apprehension as to tho result. , * .
It was our wish to keep the question open to
tbe latest day possible, and not to indicate in
advance any choice of the person to bo selected
as onr standard bearer; bnt as thcQpraa in the
interior Is agitating the subject/and as we de
sire to be heard while others are speaking, We
depart from onr original resolution, and declare
that, that able statesman and,incorruptible pa
triot, Charles J. Jonkins r is, above all others,
onr choice. Aside from his pie-eminent fitness
for the station, and his long and valuable ser
vices, bis friends owe It to him, no less tiffin to
tbemselvos, to give him an. opportunity to vin
dicate himself against the fool misrepresenta
tions to which his opponents in the last canvass
resorted, and to which his unexpected defeat is
to be ascribed.—Had fair dealingbeen the order
of tbe day, there Is scarcely anjintelligentmanof
either party who must not confess, that Mr. Jen
kins would this day be tbe honored Governor of
the State. And what a Governor he would
have made, with bis great hoart, his fino intel
lect, his spotless character, and his extensive
knowledge of the laws, nearly all'of which he
has assisted In framing or passing!
In this matter we do not speak for ourselves
alone. So far as wo have been ablo to ascer
tain public opinion in tills portion of the State,
it i* tho genoral desire of his old friends that
-he should be again put in nomination. Like
ourselves, however, should he decline to ran, or
should some other suitable person be selected,
they will give to the nominee their hearty sup
port.—/Sbrannak Republican.
Tbe Court of Claims.
One of the most Important bills which has
passed Congress within onr remembrance re
ceived tho final sanction of tho legislative
branch yesterday. We refer to the bill to estab
lish a Court of Claims, to which we ventured
not long since to invoke the favor of tho House
of Representatives, with which it then rested.
This bill was oalled np yesterday at a favorable
moment, and, the friends of it wisely abstaining
from dobato, it was forthwith passed by-a large
majority. We should not bo surprised if it
saves one-fourth part of the sessions of Con
gress how spent in the examination and discuss
.ion of claims. It will, however, operate be
neficently in' a variety of ways. It will not
only secure to just claims an early hearing and
prompt sottiomont, bnt it will got rid of tho in-
torminablo renewal of unfounded ones, and
thus savo tho time of Congress from being yoar
after year in tho re-examination of rejected
claims.
Tho bill gives, jurisdiction to tho Court to
hear and determine all claims founded upon any
law of Congress, or upon any regulation of an
Executive Dopnrtment, or upon any contract,
expresf or implied, with tho Government of
the United States, and all claims referred by
either Houso of Congress. Tho testimony in
all cases to bo reported to Congress, and all
upon which favorable decisions aro given, are
to be aoeoropaniod by a hill or bills to carry
them into offect, and with briefs from tho soli
citor. of ti» Board and from tbo claimant- ■
It will bo thus seen that tho Courtis to per
form tho work now laboriously but imperfectly
done by committees, and Congress is to revise
tho wholo and act upon tho subjects prosontod,
as at present. On many subjects nu opinion
well matured by the Court will servo as tho basis
for action on all similar cases; and there will
not perhaps bo so many inconsistencies in legis
lation as at present, when tho success or failure
of a measure dopends in a groat degroo upon
which ono House or tho other may happen to
be feund whontho vote is takon. At all events
there is: tho probability of a more raataro in
vestigation than by tho presont mode, and it
is to bo hoped we shall hear but little more
of what is deemed more than tho."Jaw’sjdolay,"
tho pcndoncy of claims before Congress of half
a cantury’s duration.—National Intelligencer.
Macon Manufacturing Company.—During
tho last six months, tho profits of this florish-
ing Company have boon at the rato of 18 por
cont. por annum on tho amount of stock. It
lms declared a dividend of ten per cont., and
has accumulated during the last eighteen
months, over the dividends, a reserve fund of
thirty seven thousand dollars. -
