Goliad, that lie never onco thought of the cruel and
utiuely file of those who fell at the Alnmo, but
rj.«rd on to victory with h is war cry of “VEN-
I olANCE AND THE GEORGIA BATTALION."
After Gen Lamar had concluded his address, (of

, r J c puonc lands from Judge Kenan and some of his lricnds say that the
the grasp of speculators, and securing to the nation its
constitutional specie currency ; to protect the United States
officers in the discharge of their public duties, and at the
Same time the public peacefrom outrage."
Now the editors of the Messenger in the puhlica
’ion of the resolutions have withheld from the people
thnt portion of them which is marked in italics, aud
which shews the laudable object which the people of
Philadelphia had in view in the tender of their servi
ces;
1st. To protect and preserve the public lands from
the grasp of the speculators.
2<h To secure to the nation its constitutional specie
currency.
3d. To protect the United States officers in the dis
charge of their public duties.
4th. To secure the public peace from outrage.
Now we ask the Messenger if Executive orders is
sued lor either of these purposes, would be illegal or
Unconstitutional, and did the people of Philadelphia
propose more than to support die government in or
ders issued for these purposes 1 and to protect the per
sons of public functionaries from insult and injury?—
There is nodiing in these resolutions either in letter or
spirit, which can barm the feelings or excite the jeal
ousy of the patriot, nnd we ask the Messenger to spe
cify which of die objects of these resolutions it disap
proves. It is not a matter of surprise to us that NuL
hfiers should oppose any such measures as were pro
posed by die icsolutions. Their watchword is disor
ganization, and their aim the possession of power
without regard to the means dicy use in its acquisition-
A Chinese proverb says, “Be .ter be a steady dog
than a changing man.” What would die Chinese say
of a certain party in Georgia, which changes its name
so frequendy ?
The Nullifying presses are endeavoring to fix die
cause of the pressure upon the Government. Gen-
Ilamilton of South Carolina, an honorable, high-min
ded Nullifier, hoots at diis idea as ridiculous. He says
it is unjust to charge the Government with causes
which originated elsewhere.
only objection diey have to Governor Schley is, that
he is the friend of diat man Fort, aud thnt if lie would
tum Fart away and put in some odier good man in
Lis place who would dismiss Bishop, that they could
suppoit Governor Schley widi a great deal offreedom.
This puts me in mind of the remark in my fourth
number: "If a man injures you and you detect
him in it, he becomes your enemy, although you may
liavc treated him ever so kindly.” Ary man who
knows any thing about the chartering of die Bank of
Milledgeville, will understand my allusion here. A
word for those who know all about this business is
sufficient. If necessary it can all come out.
The enemies of Governor Schley are continual!*
telling such stories as the following: "diat Schley lost
popularity in the Cherokee country, and that way
down southwest he will get no votes. Now, as for
war down southwest I don’t pretend to be accurate in
my information, but in die Cherokee counties if he
does not get a vote up to his former vote, and as much
more in proportion as the population will warrant, I
will be more deceived than man ever was, and my in
formation is die best, for I have lately seen some of
the principal Union men from several of those comi
ties, and they state that things are going much in
Schley’s favor, and the opposition of Judge Kenan,
although it flatters the friends of Gilmer, yet it only
nerves the Union men to their duty, and they, on ac
count of his stadon, let the Judge pass without saying
any thing to him against Itis course, but many of them
hum him, and the Nollies, aldmugh they are pleased
with his treachery, yet they, in their hearts desp se the
traitor. And if Governor Schley would discharge
Fort from his office in 'he Central Bank that he could
get the Judge’s support, what does it amount to? If
yon will take the word of his countymen they will tell
yeni it amounts to nothing; he has lost hi* popularity
with Union men if he ever had any, and does not eon-
suit widi them ; his dependence is not in them at all;
it is another people to whom he looks for protection.
Tum Flirt away fur Kenan / What a thought! Turn
away a man who has never wandered from his devo
tion to the interests of Georgia, and for whom / For
one who is not teorth mentioning. Who (although his
friends used to think he had some good qualifies,) is
now lost to sll feelings except those of self-aggrandize
ment. Who, if yoil come in the wayofiih a land

every exertion is given to sink those of bis party who

and character, and that little the General has complete
ly dissipated. _On this point there can be no doubt,
that Judge White clung very closely to President
Jackson and his administration, long after his belief
in a whole batch of abominable things against them and
that he is therefore justly to bo held partieeps eriminis,

has since turned tell-tale or State’s evidence.
GEORGIA BANKS.
Tlie Globe, in giving the statement show
ing the condition of the banks located in Sav
anna!), which we published a few days ago in
our paper, observes: “The above condition
of the banks in Savannah is worthy of all imi
tation elsewhere. Specie payments would be
resumed to-morrow, over the whole country,
had the banks been generally as provident as
those in Savannah. In fact, the banks in the
State of Georgia take the lead of all others,
The banks located in Augusta, exhibit a
condition which must be gratifying to their
friends, and to those who feel an interest in
the credit and reputation of our State abroad.
According to statements recently published by
five of our banks, namely, the Bank of Au
gusta, Mechanics Bank, Branch of the State
Bank, Branch of the Georgia Rail Road Bank,
and the Insurance and Banking Company, out
of six in operation in our city', their circulation
in the beginning of June amounted to $1,513,-
814, and in the beginning of this month to $1,-
343,555: showing a reduction of circulation in
one month of $170,259. In the begining of
June, these five banks had in specie $775,585,
and in the beginning of June their promissory
notes, bills of exchange, &c. amounted to $4,
768,924, and in the beginning of this month to
$4,551,873: showing a curtailment of $217,
053.—('on.
Tie Southern Recorder affects to sneer, becaus
I C:rtmor Schley is capable of superintending in per-
• nU*c great work of Internal Improvements com-
I -need by this State! We suppose, in the Recorder’s
- Mention, an acquaintance with the science of Civil
lirinccring is incompatible with the office of Govem-
.f—mnl lienee hi* reasons for preferiog Mr Gilmer!
Jleald Mr. Gilmer be elected then, we msy expert to
> t!ic Kail Road go on in its own way, or not go on
»t»!I—and a*thc Executive will know nothing about
r.-: busmens, he can exercise no discretion in settling
t'v: accounts, but must pay them all, let them be ever
I » uiircasonnblc.
Il bus been urged against Governor Schley, that he
two particular, in settling bills against the State; Uiat
he investigates the nature of every account with too
■ticIi scrupulousness. Some blame him, because he
>dl tlio seat of Government for the frontier, to ace what
the army was doing there. Now, if he had not have
been on the spot himself, he would not have been ao
<rr!l able to discriminate betwe >n the various accounts
presented to him for settlement, as to which he should
piyand which he should not; and the State might
hire been the loser to a large amount.
Gov. SrLIcy feels it hi* duty to advance the interests
uri protect the rights of the State at all times, and in
e/ery possible manner. And, wherever he conceives
bis presence useful, whether in equipping the soldier,
or m locating a Rail Road,—the sneers and abuse of
* political opponent* will not deter him from going.
THE PHILADELPHIA PROCEEDINGS.
The Nqliifiora profess great abhorrence of these pro-
'■fedings, but like honest patriots, they suppress that
portion of the resolutions which docs not suit their
delicate taste. It is a cardinal trait in the course o f
:!le Nullifier to disapprove, censure, c onderon and a-
dominate every thing which has in view the support of
»ach of the laws of tho General Government as ii
’tat* Itis pleasure to denounce as unconstitutional, and
toe constituted authorities who have in hand their
itrorn end fanhful administration, while he applauds
r very measure which has in view a systematic opposi.

^ eelebrated obnoxious resolutions of the Philadel
phia meeting, and ascertain for himself whether there

"Anti-Van Burcn man” in the last Mcrscnger, after
much flourish of "gauntlets,” "escutcheons” and “on
sets” sett out to make a knightly tilt at “Union Man”
for presuming to assert thnt the A'idlifers hate become
ashamed of their name and principles, and are note using
Anti-Fan Bure nitm as a mask, under the cover of icMcft
to steal into the ascendancy.
It is certainly to be lamented that the Union party
cannot yield to the very modest and reasonable request
of tiiis correspondent of the Messenger, and follow
their beautiful system of changing names. Listen at
his words:
“Do Doctor (and recommend yourcorrespnndeiits)
to raise your true flag. Call it Van Burcnism like a
man. Old Dames are done away.”
IIow suppliant! No friend, you reckon badly ifyou
judge us by your own party. We are, nnd have long
been, designated the “Union Democratic Republican
e ,” wc have found no cause to rcasc to love the
i, and conseaueutly none to change our name.—
Wc arc still the Union party. It is a homely old fash
ioned name you think, and docs not accord with your
new fangled ideas. But it suits us, we are plain Re
publican sort of people.
Because you advanced doctrines of which you are
now ashamed—ashamed of them,simply because they
did not suit tlic people—and have now changed your
name to get clear of the odium, think not that wo »rc
in any such a state !
Wc advocated the claims of Van Buren to the Pre
sidency, and now that he has been elected our Presi
dent we have seen no reason to withdraw our confi
deuce and support to his administration. But beennse
we voted for him, that is not a just cause why wc should
abandon a name founded on principle, to assume his—
a man’s name. No, we are for principles in prefer
ence to men. Wc also supported General Jackson,
yet ns much os we admired him, wc were not called
the Jackson party. The good old cause of Uivtoti and
its name, shall remain our cause and our name. We
are Union men, and shall remain so, leaving to your
party alwavs, the glorious privilege (which you seem
to prize so highly aud use so freely) of changing your
name ns often as it suits your disease. "D-owning
men will catch jt straws," it is a prerogative they have
never been denied. Grasp this last chance as close as
you please, it is your only hope, and that so flimsy it
will not serve to keep your heads above the water.
The writer closes by saying, “But there is honor
even in defeat, beat you must be, distanced more than
probable.”
His party will have the honor he speaks of, and af
ter the election can enjoy and luxuriate in it at leisure.
You are a good tactician in your party politics, doubt
less, but believe me you are no prophet. Did you not
surely calculate in the year 1834, on gaining the elec
tion by a hundred votes, and were you not beaten by
nearly two hundred? Be not over sanguine, friend,
remember 1S34!! You made sad miscalculations then,
and the prospect for a like result, seems now to be very
good. When the Union party osises in its might itis
a host I can assure you. Like a swollen river it
sweeps the rubbish ana trash of Nullification before it,
then quietly recedes and leaves die well scourged frag
ments high and dry on its banks. The Union party is
now aroused, it sees that Xulltf cation has assumed the
new garb of "Anti-Fan Burcnism’’ and is note trying to
accomplish by deception what it was unable to effect by o-
pen warfare.
Your party is much given to vaunting, your object
in diis is to infuse a confidence of success in your
ranks, that your leaders do r.ot feel.—Vaunt on, it is
one of the old and highly prized rights of your party,
>u in it. UNION MAN.

verrimem, but those who best know him will kn
beat whether they are true or false. What he suppo
ses to be his interest will lead him any way he dunks
best for die attainment of that object. 1 would not
insinuate that the Judge could bo bribed by money, and
I further believe thathis judicial conduct, where his
feelings are notiulisted is perfectly just nnd impartial.
But woe to die uulucky wight that has been unfortu
nate e lough to come i<i his way in any manner, whe
ther knowingly or not.
The people of the Western part of Georgia, partic
ularly of die North-Western part, are of a somewhat
different character from those of the Central, theyare
mostly from die upper part of die two Carolinos, Ten
nessee, and fr >m die Eastern part of Georgia. Hav
ing more enterprize nnd less property to man gen
erally speaking, than those left behind. They sought
a country more congenial to their feelings and interest
—many of them ccmld notstaud the aristocrats feel
ings of their more wealthy neighbors, and of course
sought «: society where they could enjoy more
equal rights and opinions. A more Democratic
Republican people does not exist in the world ti an
those before mentioned. Men who are entirely devo
ted to die institutions of dieir country, and who des
pise evciy thing like oppression and favoriism In
the contest between Governor Gilmer and Mr. Craw
ford, they took part in favor of die first named gentle
man, for diey had no candidate of their own, and they
had a natural aversion to the stately manners and aris-
tocradcal propensities of die latter gentleman; and
many of them did not like the name, they having re
moved from parts which had been made too hot for
them an account of it. Tbc' majority, I say, took
up Mr. Gilmer, aud he was elected (by their help,) by
an immense' majority, and wher they found how wo-
fully he bad deceived them, they as readily let him
drop, and in a subsequent election supported, and by
their imnumsc majorities elected another man who bad
feelings and opinions in common widi the Western
Georgians, and who they delighted to honor for he
was not afraid of their getting rich too fast and whose
course proved die policy which was pursued by which
many of them obtained comfortable homes on forty
acre lots, although they did not abound in gold, yet by
die cultivation of die soil they are enabled to live in
comfort and to raise tbeir families in decency and a-
bove want, who, perhaps, if the selling plan bad been
pursued, would have had to be the tenant of tome a-
ristocradc lordling, and have paid out all their subsist
ence inrent and improvements for bis advantage; and
they will be enabled to show the man who was afrai.l
of their getting rich too fast, that they have not forgot
his aristocratic notions, and will show him at the polls
in October that they kuow how to vote strong, and
dint they never can give any man their vote who Las
any way, directly or indirectly, believed and expressed
that belief, that die oath of Indians should be taken irh
a court of justice where while men are concerned.—
Yes, Union men, you have the strength to strangle the
monster in his aspirations—so step forward 1 and let
your power be felt { vote for no man who has notions
so derogatory to your prosperity, no matter for what
stadon he may offer. Let die man for whom you vote
have feelings and views in common with you or it will
not do to vote for him. Rich men ought to vote for
Gilmer, but poor men, who have a spark of indepen
dence left, should not. He wanted the land sold to fill
up the Treasury of the State. And who was this to
benefit? Why, certainly, the rich men, for it would
have been they who would have purchased, and when
the Treasury was filled taxation would have been un
necessary, and those lordlings, with immense treas
ures. would have been exempt from taxation. Butin
case of a war or insurrection, who would have to bear
the brunt? Not those men who were so rich, but those
poor fellows who had not the means to purchase cx-
cmntion—they would have to bear the brunt.

smokers- These 100,000 smokers will each
expend 6J to 25 rents per day for cigars, or
tobacco, to be burned in some other form.
In Havana the smokers lowe*J daily^expendi*
ture is a bit, or 12£ cents, hut !Te wiu suppose
what probable is not the fact, thai Marti" .**
subjects expend 20 per cent, less than the ttio5?
economical of her most Christian Majesty’s and
consequently that the average cost of smoking
in the city of New York is only 10 cents per
day; still the total daily cost amounts to $10,-
000 or $3,650,000 per annum. Bread is anoth
er indispensable article of consuption, and it
is ascertained that it is consumed at about the
rate 13 ounces per day for each, by the whole
population. To produce this quantity of bread
about 10 ounces of flour are required, or for
the whole population of New York 957 barrels
of flour per day, and this flour, at the present
high price of $10 per barrel, will cost $9,570,
or $430 less per day than the actual cost of
the tobacco used by ihe same population for
smoking only.
Thus a little attention to the subjoct disclo
ses the painful and disgusting fact, that in the
clcr headed, sharp sighted, money-making
city of New York, the inhabitants pay more for
tobacco than they do for bread.
And if to this first cost of the article are
added the value of buildings destroyed by fires
kindled by careless smokers, and last—though
uot least—the value of the health and life de
stroyed by the insidious poison, the conclusion
must be admitted that (he habit costs more than

Dr. Bartlett—In my last I mentioned that Governor
Schley was blamed for General Sanford’s appoint
ment.' I hold that a Governor should, when he has a
ne v appointment to make, pnt his friends into office
when they are as capable as others. And I believe
Gen. Sanford has never been thought inferior to the
Major General, who, it wni. wished by some should re
ceive the appointment which Sanford did. And there
had been sonic doubts about tlio residence of the oth
er, for many persons thought he had left Georgia and
settled in Mobile, and sncli was the writcr’s_ opinion.
And although that gentleman stands as high with me as
any one iy Georgia, of bis opinions, vet I could not
have given him the appointment under that view, and
I believed bis place vacant for a year or two. If
General Sanford's appointment ought to injure Gov
ernor Schley, how much more should Governor Gil
mer be injured by his appointment to a trust consider
ed equally important with this, when he was a raw

LOUISVILLE.
This place, it will be recollected, was the former
Seat of Government of the State of Georgia. It still
keeps Op an aristocratic bearing, and putt on sundry
airs, not tolerated in cities of fewer pretensions. Lou
isville has some ground for these extra airs: Her site
is extremely pleasant and salubrious; the circumja
cent country fertile, finely w-utered and beautifully di
versified. So, that there is about as milch room for
die inquiry, why the seat of government wasjumoved
from so commanding a site? as for the one, why it ev
er came here ? I have never found any one willing to
nnswer either of diese questions, so I shall not make
the attempt.
The old State House still stands here; and, had it a
tongue as well as ears, might tell many a tale, I dare
gay; that would make the dead rise, and ibe living (all.
The building is now metamorphosed into a court
house; and these walls which once listened lo die elo
quence of a James Jackson, a Taliaferro, a Baldwin,
n Talbot, &c. &c. are now only enlivened with the
bar wit of the Sliddle Circuit.
There is also a neat market house here; as well os
an Academy, some two or three churches, two taverns,
and 8 or lO'storcs. Population 5 or 600. Boats as
cend the Ogeechee to this place and return freighted
with cotton to Savannah.
Louisville will long be remembered as the spot where
an indignant people avenged themselves of a cormpt
Legislature; and ceiled fire from Heaven which de
stroyed every vestigo of the base act of their Represen

SANDERSVILLE
Is a neat little town,regularly built up, after the fash
ion of most of our up countiy town*, and aboqt as
large. The site appears healthy, the society good and
the inhabitants generally wealthy. Sandcrsviilc has
but one tavern; an academy, 7 or8 stores, court house
&c.
Over the Buffalo creek, crossed n splendid netv
Bridge, 6 or 700 yards loug, built by a MrYoungblood,
at his awn expense.
The land in this soction, though it apfiears to hare
been long in cultivation, produces freely, I -never
saw better prospects of corn and wheat, than arc now
to be seen in Washington and Jefferson connues.
General Jackson and Judge IFhitc.—General Jac k
son has published, in tho Nashville Uniou, a very long
and conclusive refutation of Judge White’s testimony
against him, (radier by hints and inuendoes, than
direct charges,) before a committee of the last Con-
cress. Judge White had indulged in mimeron* hinft
An American Rebecca.—The noble courage dis
played by Scott’s Rebecca, in his novel of Iv;m-
boc, when she stood upon the tower, from which
she declared she would precipitate herself if fol
lowed hy the vail'.aiu who desired to rob her of her
honor, has been more than shaded by the sacri
fice of a young girl, near Hartford. Conn.
The facts as given us by a gentleman, are ns
follows The son of a respectable paper maker
one day a few week ago. finding the young girl
alluded to, at the dinner hour in the upper room
of the paper mill, entered and locking the door
seized the girl, aud endeavoured to accomplish
his Tnrquiuian purpose, when the girl sprung from
h's grasp; and appronched the edge of the scuttle
thirty feet. Tin cowardly miscreant was about
advancing to secure the heroine again, when she
exclained—"Dare, sir, to advance one step to
ward tne, and my death he on your head. I free
myself by jumping do^u these falls.” The vil-
laiu approached but a step—the girl dashed her
self forward, falling through two stories and
breaking her ribs in the most horrible manner.—
Such devotion should lie irntnmtalized— -such
an instance ol self sacrifice should be hniled w ith
lie highest admiration, ft is perhaps needless to
add that the young man paid dearly for his at
tempt totheamouut of $3000.—World.
