I From ihe observations respecting tlie effects of
| the shades ofthe sugar maple, the mulberry, and
: the locust, it might lie expedient to plant those
! trees around some fields designed for pasture,
grain or meadow. especially the locust, which
i in the essay on the management of woodland, is
( j“ described to be very valuable for many mechan
ical purposes, which require solidity and durabi
lity. It will propagate itself too, in the most
barren places, where the soil is even so light ns
to he blown away by the winds. By sheltering
such [daces, and dropping its leaves upon them,
it causes a sward to grow over them, and grass
to grow upon them. It is however, objected by
some, that it is not advisable to niant the locust
on the borders of fields, on the account of their
spreading too much, by scattering their leavos.
unless on those which are most barren. This
objection, however, it would seem, might be
obviated, when the field to he enclosed by tho
locust, was often to be appropriated to the pur
poses of tillage, especially in the culture of the

to the mischief of rioters, that the legislature of
this state pass a law, making every township or

obtains in France. If a mob was satisfied that

To the Editor of the Georgian :
Sir—In your paper of the 11th insti which has
just reached my hands, 1 perceive a communica
tion from my brother, explanatory of what he
says is a coincidence in the publication iu the
same number of the Savannah Republican of
an original article from himself, aud the re pub
lication of an artirie signed “Crawford,” ad
dressed hy some good soul, as it appears, to me.
Had my brother’s card not appeared in your pa
per, or in some other paper of the Union party,
I should not have known that the piece Craw
ford had ever been issued ; and knowing nothing
at all now of its contents, doubtless I shall he e-
qually ignorant ef them ten years hence. Since
iny perusal of tho Athens Southern Whig of tho
16lh ult. not a single line, absolutely not a siugle
word, of the contents of a newspaper of the State
Rights party (not even excepting the paper of
that party published in my own town of Athens,)
has been read by me, or to me, or reported to
me- I may, indeed, after the manner of the lato
John of Roanoke, say or the Nullifying prints,
that I do not now touch one of them with a pair
of tongs ! From the 16th of July, then, I have
been utterly ignorant of their contents; indeed,
both my honorable friend, who is before the peo
ple of Georgia a candidate for the highest office
tn their gift, and myself, have felt ourselves com
pelled from self-respect considering the falsehoods
eliminated against us hy the nullifying papers, to
decline perusing them. In ourutteriguorance there

a confident reliance oil tho good sense of the peo
ple of Georgia; and are perfectly williug to let

• ■ - - - r - - ... our political friends laugh at them. Labonn
ted by those tribunals, in conformity with the
course and usages of municipal law. Vattel
lays down the international rulcas.iollows: The
sovereign “ought not to suffer Ins subjects to mo
lest the,subjects of others, or to do them an in
jury. much less should he permit thorn audaci
ously to offend foreign powers : he ought t.o ob
lige the guilty to repair the damage if that he
possible, to inflict on him exemplary punishment
or in short, according to the nature of the case,
and tho circumstances attending it, to deliver
himself up to the offended State, there to receive
justice. This is pretty generally observed with
respeet to great crimes, and such as are equally
contrary to tho laws and safety of all nations.
Assassins, inrendihries and robbers, are seized e-
vorywhere, nud nt the desire ofthe sovereign of
the place whore the offence was committed, de
livered up to his justice.” It seems to us that
Vnttel’s language is broad enough to include eve
ry case of great crime, (aud what can be greater
and more cno'-mnus crime. than exciting a serv
ile war ?) committed against a foreign power,
without reference to the locus in quo—to the
place where the crime was committed. But e-
ven taking it forgranted. for the sako of argu
ment, that this limitation is to be derived from
rheexpross reference, made by Vattel to “the
place where the crime was committed,” in the
sentence last quoted from him, we couteud that
the northern inceudiaries come both within the
rule and its supposed limitation. Their crime is
of a peculiar character, it may be as easily com
mitted at a distance from, as tvithin the bosom of
a community—their weapons of offence are in
tellectual ones, and the press the catapult from
which they may be discharged with any assigna
ble momentum, and to any assignable’distance.
Their guilt partakes of the character of what is
known to the law as a seditious libel, with intent
to stir up insurrection, and although they com
pose their libellous missives, at a distance from us,
they utter nad publish them here, with intent to
produce effect bare, and therefore, according to
the rules of both international and municipal law
in its strictest technicality, this is the locus—the
place of their offence, and the right to demand
their persons, under the one code, and to punish
them under the other, is complete. Wherever
one acts, he is constructively present, aud this is
enough for the purpose of criminal jurisdiction
and justice. No one can doubt that a man,
standing in Georgia, feloniously kills another in
tho adjoining State of South Carolina, that the
latter, by virtue ofthe law ofnations, could de
mand of the former the person of the murderer,
aud by virtuo of her municipal law, punish him
through her own courts. The case is equally
clear in regard to the murderous wretches who
are now busy in discharging their poisoned shafts
at the bosoms and vitals of the South.”
Char Courier.
These scribbling gentry of the Nullifying press,
are indeed, it may be said, pouring water in a
Preventive for Riots.—The power of a mob aud
the inefficiency of a police, havo now been tested
in this country. We consider that in Baltimore
tho Rioters effected every purposo for which they
combined ; and tho display of power on the part
of the citizens and military was only an' after
game, that had nothing to do with tho “stay of
proceedings.” It was the same near Boston, at
New Yoik, near Philadelphia, and at the South.
Laws, then, are inoperative ; the people will not
or cannot preserve from destruction the property
of individuals or associations that have by any
means become obnoxious to the censure of a mob.
What then is to be done? A man pays his tax for
the support of a government, established for the
preservation of personal pecuniary rights; he sub
mits himself and his cause to the law when his
conduct is called iu question; he ask uo special
action to suit his case, or any favor frem judge or

ELECTIONS.
Full returns have not been received from the
late elections in Alabama, North Corolina and
Kentucky, Indiana, Missourie. and Tennessee:
but enough is known to enable ns to assure onr
readers that there has beon a general gain to the
administration. In Kentucky there is a gain of
an additional democratic member in congress, &
forty members to the State Legislature. Iu In
diana, the whole delegation in congress are now
for the first time the avowed frienJs of the admi
nistration. In Alabama, the Hon. C. C. Clay,
a most decided friend of the administration in
the last congress, and a supporter ofthe Baltim
ore nominations, is elected Governor; and, as
far as we have heard, a majority of the same opi
nions of the Governor were returned to congress
and the General Assembly. In Missourie, an in
creased majority of republicans are returned to
the legislature, and there will bo a gain of one r if
not two democratic members to congress. In
North Carolina, there is a probability that the
strength of the administration will be increased
by nu additional member in the House, it is cer
tain that it will not be reduced. Aud we believe
that the republican majority in the next legisla
ture will be greater than the last. In Tennessee
it is extremely doubtful whether Carroll who a-
vowed himself iu favor of Mr. Van Buren for the
Presidency, or Cannon who avowed himself for
Judge Whito, is elected Governor. The mem
bers in congrcs, who refused to go into the White
caucus, and avowed themselves in favor of the
democratic nomination for the Presidency, arc
re-elected, and it is probable some others favora
ble to that nomination may also be returned.
They al! declare themselves Jacksomnen except
Crockett—but Mr. Bell and his allies, we fancy,
are not very sincere.
Upon the whole it is now ascertained that the
administration majority in the next House of
Representatives, (surrendering Mr. Bell and his
little squad to the opposition,) will be greater
thau it has ever been. It will be at least fortv.

A Sign.— On Saturday last an election took
place for Colonel of the first regiment Georgia
Militia. Major Robertson had been annouuced
as withdrawn by his confidential agent in Savan
na, and the only candidate announced was Lt.
Col. Jno. Reaulard. But some of Maj. Robert
son's friends started him as a candidate that same
therefore as they do iu this category, iu this age
of Jeremy Benthamism too, it would do well for
those gentry to put the utilitarian cut bono to
themseives. As regards the seemingly particu
lar relation between the undersigned and the
writer of “Crawford,” the undersigued supposing
it probable that one of the nullifying presses of
Augusta or Milledgeville was the original chan
nel of the article, will merely hint to that writer
for his information and that of the others of the
same political school who may bo disposed to
speed similar shafts, that vehicles of sedition tho’
very appropriate media for the circulation of
calumnies against the undersigned, are very in
appropriate media for the transmission to him of
the fact of such circulation; since, as already
said, he never sees them, nor hears any thiug a -
bout them.
Nor has tho communication which appears to
have been made to the Savannah Republican by
Joseph W. Jackson, been seeu by him—nor will
it ever meet his eye or reach his ear, unless it be
transplanted in one ofthe Union papers of Geor
gia. The piece signed hy the* family of the late
Governor Jackson was deliberately read in man
uscript by five oat of six of its members, before
it went to the printing office; and not a word be-
iug objected to by either, it was justly sent out un
der the imprimatur of tho Family, uotiu ostenta
tion, but surely in self-defence—in defence of their
principles aud of those of their desceased head,
which bad been wantonly traduced by being de-
pited as affiliated with the doctrines of Nullifica
tion. No interest would appear to be due to the
dissentient piece of Joseph W. Jackson just al
luded *o. The public will, doubtless attach such
importance, and such only to it as seems fitly to
appertain to attempt to exhibit the principles and
feelings of nn ancestor by one who, whatever the
positi on of his own political views, was at the
time of the death of that ancestor, a child.

Shocking Occurrence.—During the late storm,
one of the most heart rending occurrences which
ever came under our notice, happened upon
one of tho small tributary streams of the Allegha
ny. On Monday tho I3th instant, between the
hours of three aud four in the moruiug, Mr. Fffis
Morrison, whose house was situated immediately
below tho mill-dam on Sugar Run, in Kinzua
township, from the iapid swelling of the stream,
became alarmed for the safety of the dam and
mill, and considered it necessary to go to the mill
and open the waste gate. While he and Mr.
Green and his son were endeavoring to perform
this service, the dam suddenly gave way, and the
water was precipitated upon the housa with such
irresistible force, that it was swept from its foun
dation instantly, and the wife and two children of
Mr. Morrison were buried in the flood. The un
happy husband was a witness to the awful sceue,
but could not render the least nssitance, so sudden
was the calamity. The bodies were found in the
afternoon o(*tlie same day.—Warren county “ Voice

JUDGE WHITE AND THE WHIGS.
Wo stated last week that so far as we knew
the whigs of Virginia were unanimously for Judge
White. Since then wo have observed that there
is not such unanimity as we had supposed. The
whigs begin to discover that they cannot got along
with the Judge, and they arc now casting about
for another “horse.” The “White hoi^e” has
broken down in training. At a meeting of a
portion of Whigs .of Augusta county on tho 27th
of July, “Gen. WILLIAM HENRY HARRI
SON. of Ohio,” was unanimously nominated to
the “Chief Magistracy of tho Union.” “Gu it
Jerry!” The prize is not to be lost for the want
of chances in the lottery.—Danville Observer.
Bagging perverse horses.■—Did you ever harn
ess up an old horse, in a great hurry to go postc
haste some where or other, and after taking 'be
reins and giving the whip a crack finding him
loppiug his eais, pouting his lips; aud bracing
himself as if he thought the whole universe de
pended upon the strength of his breeching? We
dare say you have, and no doubt fell to thumping
and mauling him. But only put his head in an
old bag, tie it on that it may not get off, and he
will go ahead like chain lightning.

Let the North look to it.—The people & States
of the North are'respousibie for the behaviour of
the Fanatics. It is not enough to disapprove, to
condemn, (as we believejthe majority do,) the in-
cendiaryism of Tappan, Garrison, Thompson, &.
Co.—they must subdue it! The South requires
this at their hands. If it is a capital offecco to
excite insurrection in one’s own State, it should
be so to commit the same crime in a neighboring
State. What matters if whether the man who
fires my house'shoots his rocket from the insids
ofthe yard or the outside ? The iutontiGn is the
same, the effect is the same, and the punish
ment should be the same.
If the North really feels the abhorrence for the
abolitionists it protends, let it show its faith by its
works : lot it put down the incendiaries—not by
mobs and acts of lawless violence, but hy the
strong arm of the law. Let the same laws bcc-
nacted at the north against the printing, circulat
ing and distributing of insurrectionary papers &
pamphlets as are in force at the south; & against
the assembling togetherof persons for unlawfulpur-
poscs, (as the abolition societies be meetings are) &
the thing will stop. Postmasters who have as
sumed the responsibility of stopping those papers,
are deserving the thanks and gratitude of their
country. The Postmaster at New York has ac
ted with a promptness aud decision aud patriotic
feeling on the occasion, deserving all praise. The
South will never forget it.
We say again, let the North look to it! tho a-
bolitionists must bo put down—they must, not be
allowed there to ignite and hurl their firebrands
into our bosoms. Unless a stop can be put to
their infamous proceedings, all ties will be sun
dered, and all intercourse between the North &
the Sonth must cease! The South will soon be
able to manufacture for herself, and to import
for herself; and if slave labor is so revolting to
the feelings of the free North, let them do with
out it. and tho South will look elsewhere for a
market.
Let the North look to it! It is uot enough for
it to cry down the Abolitionists with one corner
of the mouth aud wink at them with the other—
it must cry them down, and put them down, ef
fectually ! The North must be responsible for
their good bohaviour, before the South will bo sa
tisfied.
Who cannot see through the shallow device
with which the Nullifiers are endeavoring tod
ccive the people ? By professing to s„pp 0rt
While, an Administration man, they expect to
deceive and seduce some Union men into the <.up
port of their ticket, and iu that manner defeat ns
in the State Elections. Their conduct rein-
inds us of a conversation wo once bcanl of
something after this sort:
Where have you been, Peter?
Bin helpiu Sam. tnassa.
And what kept you ?
’Cause, stop to peel mn peaches for det.jn
To peel peaches for the pigs! wont the v,-
eat peaches without pealing ?
No, tnassa. um so dam dainty he wont teucb
um till we peel um skiu oft’.
Indeed ! I’m afraid you are getting wastcfi]
Wh at do you do with the skins ?
Gives utn to de ole sow. inassn.
Aud what do you do with the peaches after
you peal them ?
Me and Sam catsum.
So’with the Nullifiers. They areas honesitc
as disinterested in supporting White, ns was
Peter in feeding the pigs. Though profess/dly
“peeling peaches” for Judge White, they dexter
ously throw the fruit into their own months, and
the “skins” to Webster—while White, like Pe
ter’s pigs’ gels uothirg.
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
Tho Whigs, despairing of creating a division
in the Republican ranks by running the White
horse, have brought auother ung into the field,
viz. Gen. Harrison of Ohio, and seem determ
ined, by doubling the stakes, to risk every thing
on tho race! Judge White in the mean time
must take care of himself; having been their
catspaw as long as suited their purpose, he must
now give place to another.
If any thiug was needed to show their utter
want of sincerity iu everything, it may be found
in their heartless desertion of Judge White, after
estranging him from his friends, and parading
his name before tho country an object of ridicule
and derision to every oue who could sec through
their device. It seems as if they were only en.
deavoring, by raisiug him so far above bis own
ambitioin, to see how low he would siuk when
they let him drop! and with the same sort of
feeling as mischievous boys carry puppies to the
top of a precipice, merely for the pleasure of let
ting them fall.
The Whig- now have Webster, White and
Harrison in the field ; and by the Election they
may have one or two more, provided by doing so
they are able to detach one vote from the candi
date of the Republican party’

The Committee to whom has been referred the
