Towns, an El- ecUonwUl take place on the FIRST MONDAY IN JANl AUY NLXT. to supply the vacancy. The Union party have nominated JAMES LID- DELL of Jackson County. Col. Liddell is a democrat of the old school—a dis ciple ofTHOMAS JEFFERSON; the friend of GEN ERAL JACKSON, and a UNION MAN to the core. He has served many years in the Legislative of Geor gia, both in the House and the Senate, where he has acquired a high reputation for sound judgment—strong ana discriminating intellect nnd a happy and peculiar tact in the transaction of public busines—but above all, for honesty of purpose and integrity of character, he is, like Caisar’s wife, above suspicion. Col. Liddell is a funner.—He is one of these self made whose example upon society is above all price, and who should be held up continually, as models to the rising generation. We appeal to the Union |>arty, to the working men of tlie country, to stand up to their principlea and their interests—to turn out in one solid phalanx on the first Monday in next month, and elect James Liddell the farmer—the intelligent and honest statesman, to. our State in Congress.

Salt marsh is a balance from a loan of §16,000 made of him in 1833, for the purpose of building the bridge across the Ocmulgee river, con necting Fast Macon with the principal City, for t.'ic-in- demnification of which the tolls from the bridge were applied until March last, when by consent they were stopped thus being appropriated, and since when the tolls have gone into your treasury. The receipts for Taxes for 183G, will not realize over §1000 to §1COO, if that sum—the amount refunded for over paid on tax 1835, reducing it to this amount from the assessment of §61.'1 for the year 1836. There-, ccipts for toll at the bridge averages §150 to §130 per week, which will keep in repair, pay bridge keepers salary, lights, &e. and support the public hands. The annual instalments due on lots the 1st of January next, will be about §2500—this however does not come uii- Due der the eognizar.ee of this board, but is for onr sncees- *° sors. The Licenses amount to §500. These, are all " the incomes of the Corporation of the City. Council unanimously feeling the inadequacy of the receipts of the City Treasury, to its obligatory expen ditures lor the good government and necessary im provement, did apply to the sitting Legislature of the •State, to amend the Charter of the City so far as to leave it to the judgement of the Mayor and Council, how much they shall tax the city property, within a rate that Nvonld not be onerous—believing that in the 3!ayor and Council should alone be vested the discre tionary power of fixing tlie rajo of taxes; for none o ' flier than they can know the probable amount'of ex pellees, and it is asking but the confidence of the com munity who clect them, and who hold in their suffrage a check fi r any abuse ofthe confidence. This appli cation, we are informed, will not be granted. . 'charter now stands, we are limited to the pittance of 15J rents on the §100, the same as the State lay, uie Legislature, in Iheir wisdom, having reduced it, with an overflowing treasury, to the smallest amount they conceived requisite to bind the people together—but with all due deference to the judgmc t of the Legis lature, your committee cannot conceive the analogy, and must protest-against individuals from the most re mote part of the 8tate legislating on the wants of any particular community. The tax at its present rate of 151 cents on the-§100, is less tl on many of our smaller towns in the State and immediate neighborhood, and will not pay the salaries of the officers. This,' howev er, and the rejection of the application of this board to the Legislature, is for our successors to contend irith To us the question comes, how are we to pay the debt: contracted ? Your Committee would recommend that flic City Surveyor be directed, under tlie superinten dence of a Committee, to lay ott'on the City Common in conformity io the present plan of the city, Lot*, to be sold for a lease of 999 years from 1st January inst. by public outcry, payable one half cash, one fourth in six months, one fourth in twelve months, and from tlie proceeds ol the sale the debt* of the City, amount ing to §86,660 bo paid.' And in case of there not be ing realized a sufficient amount to pay the aggregate debt, then to sell the Rail Rond and Banking Compa ny Stack, or so much thereof as may be requisite to supply the deficit; whereby the good liiith of, at least, this board of Council may be maintained with those who have given it credit.

Our attention having been asked by the Slayer ofthe citv of Macon, as well a* by other of the pub lic .iiitbbti!:rs to the subject of pauperism and the _ funds set apart for that object by the present Tax law, vve have ihvestigatcri that subject as lar as v:e could do so, arid regret to find that tho funds set apart for that object aru entirely inadequate to support those who from poverty, infirmity and disease, are entirely dependent upon the public bounty.
