One of the arguments heretofore used in Congress, why
coffee should not be taxed, was, that It diminished the use
of intoxicating liquors and promoted temperance. That the
use of coffee has saved many a man from a drunkard’s
j-rave, no one can doubt. Hard cider and log cabin carou
sals have, however, arrested the progress of the Temper
ance Reformation, and Whig Reformers in’politics, have
aimed at it another blow, in voting for a tax to increase the
price ofe« flee, and thereby to diminish its use.
We ask Mr. Dawson, in all kindness, when you voted to
hi coffee, where were your temperance principles? Has
haul tiller washed them away ? Where was your sympa
thy for the poor ? Have you forgottan them ?

more abundant in her promises. Indeed there can be no
doubt but her devotion to this cause broke down her consti

course, she made no pretensions, although she frequently
wore its mask.
It is a source of congratulation to all the friends of human

Presldrat Tyler.— M Thc Jliaernble Wretch. w
Who is there that feels as an American citizen should
feel, whose bosom does not swell with indignation, that a
member of Congress, in the Hall of the National Legisla
ture, should degrade himself, his r.onslitucuts, and his coun
try, by language such as Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee, has used
in reference to the President of the United States? After
pouring out the vials ot his wrath, heaping upon that distin
guished officer every, epithet which none but a corrupt hear
could conceive, and a tongue used to the conceptions of such
a heart couhi utter, the Honorable gentleman, for want of
words more strongly to evince his own utter destitution of
every generous and noble feeling'capped the climax of his
vituperations, by designating the Chief Magistrate as " the
miserable wretch.” His worthy associates and coadjutors
in all that can bring disgrace upon the nation. Botts A Stan
ley—par nobile frat rum—have also vied with each in the
contemptible rivalry, by windy words and IJdJiqagate rhet
oric, to degrade the man they have elevated to office*. I f -
the American people are now. what they once were, virtu,
ous themselves and the defemlors of virtue in others; if
they are not as degraded as some they have sent to repre.
sent them in the National Councils, language, .such as wc
have referred to, will re set with a tremendous impetus
upon those who use it. They will speak in a voice of thun
der. They will not, however much they may differ from
the President, permit him with impunity to be assailed.—
They will respect him for his sterling integrity, unwavering
independence, and defend him from the assaults of the as
sassioa w hom he has disappointed of their anticipated plun
der.
The great offence which Mr. Tyler has committed, ami
for which he is now denounced as "traitorous,” "perfidi
ous,” "deceptive,” and "a miserable wretch” is, that he has
dared to be a consistent and honest man; to regard the mo
nitions of his conscience; that he has loved his honor -and
feared his God more than he has loved office or regarded
man. He has done no more than ho has done before, ever
done, and what it was known he would do, when he was
nominated as Vice-President—he has opposed the estab.
lishinent of a National Rank. What could be have done
less, without the grossest perjury—without forfeiting al*
claims to self respect, and the confidence of his fellow-men?
Has he deceived any one ? The Whigs placed him on
their ticket, because lie was an open and uncompromising
opponent of the Rank—selected him expressly to secure the
votes of anti-Hank and ^tote Rights men. They have been
rauglit in tlieir own trap. Let them not censure him, be
cause he has proved more honest than thpv are. If they
must give utterance to their chagrin, let it be applied to their
own friends, that they did not select a more supple tend to
do their dirty work; or if they dare, let them vent their
spleen upon Him who rules the destinies of nations, and
whose kind Providence has beer, the cause of their disap
pointment, and in it. of the salvation of their country. The
dispos tion in the Whig ranks, to censure Mr. Tyler for his
veto of the Rank, manifests either a total ignorance of his
past opinions, or a wanton and most deplorable contempt for
all the sanctions of the oath he has taken and the obligations
of religion. For ourselves, we have no special party predi
lections for the President; yet, we cannot but admire bis
bold and noble defence of the Constitution. He has planted
himselt upon it, aod unawod by menace and unseduced by
the temptations that surround him, he stands as firmly as
Gibraltar’s rock. Wiih an unblenching eye, a heart repo-
- in the conscions rectitude of his intentions, and his arm
nerved for the dange s trtac environ him, he has received
the storms that have bu n upon his head, and is prepared
for those tha are them g in still blacker darkness around
him. In tms corrup age th.s eventful crisis of our nation’s
history, the friends o. ne Constitution will gather around
and sustain him. The friends of virtue, of every political
creed, will stand by hirn. They toq, who, unlike him, have
sold their principles for office or for filthy lucre, and be*
cause they envy him what they cannot claim, integrity and
inoral courage, grp loudest in tlieir denunciations, will soon
be visited by tike indignant rebuke, and their clamors hush
ed into silence by the stern voice of an intelligent and vir
tuous people.
While such a man as Rrutus lived, the liberties of Home
survived. While such a Roman as Tyler rules, our Re’
public need not fear,
Hurrah for YThiggery and alt the Decency ! 11
Kotr and Rowdies in the. Rep. Hall of Congress.
The history is shortly this—Mr. Stanley, of North Caro
lina, in the spirit that has usually distingnished him, bad
just closed a bitter and abusive onslaught upon that pattern
of tranquil forbearance, Mr. Henry Wise, who (on Stanley’s
seating himself,) walked to that person’s desk, in great
quietness of spirit, as Wise himself seemed to think, for the
purpose of remonstrating with Mr. 8. on some harsh ex
pressions he had used. Stanley mended the matter, by ci
villy informing big pacific opponent, that he (Wise) was a
Liar. To this instance of conciliation. Wise responded by
some vigorously applied smacks of his open band to Stan
ley’s jaws—a scuffle ensued, of course, and the honorable
members crowded round the combatants. The spirit of pu
gilism spread like wild fire—hard knocks, it seems, were
bestowed liberally, likely enough, in requital for hard words
taken previously in debate. The spirit of Clay himself, with
Ate by his side, seemed raging, an bon. member from old
Kentuck, had the ruffian Arnold, of Tennessee, throttled so
har4 and long, that the Tennesseeian’s tongue protruded
ami his face grew a» black as Clay’s purposes.
'Tis hard to say in what mischief ilie Whig meiee might
have ended, had not that every way great man, Dixon H.
Lewis, of Alabama, dashed through the mob, as the Mercu
ry graphically describes it, "like a Mastodon through a cane-
brake,” jerked Wise aad Stanley asunder, atid held them
at arm's length U opposite directions, as Guliver might have
dona two angry Lilliputians, till tlieir violence subsided.
What a pity some first rate caricaturist was not present.
So rich a inass of material for the exercise of his art, has
seldom been presented. From a well selected point in one
of the galleries, two most interesting scenes might have
been sketched—the commencing and closing acts of the
Whig drama. It is to be hoped some competent artist will
undertake the work, grouping as many likenesses as possi
ble. If cleverly executed, it will receive extensive patron
age, and perhaps operate to prevent a rapetition of such dis
graceful occurrences.
As is customary in similar cases, there are discrepant re.
port# of the affair—Mine making Mr. Pawson—others Mr.
Lewis, the great Pacificator. Not a pin’s matter.

Sir 1 In looking over the Savannah Republican this mor
ning, the enclosed met my eye, and to which 1 beg leave to
call your attention. I am aware that your situation as a
Pastor of the Church, would cause you to avoid entering
into any *>f the political contests of the State. Yet, hoping
that you will not refuse to do justice between the rival can
didates, I have taken the liberty of addressing you this :
I 1 roin a long and intimate acquaintance with Gov. Mc
Donald, I cannot believe the statement which I have mark
ed in the piece sent: that he treated you nud your applica
tion with contempt, when petitioning for a respite for Down
ing. I know him too well to believe that lie would in any
application treat the humblest of our citizens with contempt.
it is not his character to do so. The piece was evidently
written te create a prejudice against the Governor through
out the State, and to cause an undue iufiuence in the coming
election.
You will please reply to me at this place, and state wheth
er this article from the Republican is true or not.
Your ob’t serv't,
JOHN T. LAMAR.
Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
M ACON, (Ga.) Sept. 7, 1841.
GlVTI.EWF!?:—The Irish in this place will go in a body
against McDonald for Governor. The reason is this : at the
last Spring term of Macon County Superior Court, an Irish
man by the name of Downing, was tried and found guilty of
murder. At the time of the trial, very many sober minded
men of the County of Macon, doubted if the evidence au
thorized a conviction for a higher crime than manslaughter,
which opinion was strengthened by facts that were devel
oped subsequent to the trial. Downing was setff to the Jail
ol Bibb county at this place, for safe keeping, until the day
appointed for his execution. In the mean time, Father Gra
ham, a most excellent Catholic Pastor, whose daily conduct
beautifully illustrates the graces and virtues of h;s profes
s:on, being satisfied after careful examination wi„h the farts
of the case, that Downing was not guilty of the crime of
tnurdei, waited upon Governor McDonald, with a respectful
petition, to respite Downing’s sentence, until the meeting of
the Legislature. Re washed an opportunity to bring the case
before that body for a re-hearing—that new light and new
evidence might be jhrown upon it, and at least, that i» might
be divested of the enormity of deliberate murder. He was
moreover anxious to save a Human Being and fellow-coun
tryman from being thrown before his time, upon the dread
retribution of Eternity. To the respectful petition tendered
him by Father Graham, Governor McDonald, not only turn
ed a deaf ear, but even treated the petition and its bearer
with contempt.
The day of execution arrived, and Downing met his fate,
innocent in all probability of the crime, for which he was
condemned to die. Such are the facts of this case> as gen
erallv spoken of herein the streets. Now', is it astonishing
that I* ather Graham, and our Irish pxipulation should feel
indignant towards Governor McDonald ? That high func
tionary refused to extend to one of their countrymen, a priv
ilege that has time and time again, been extended to qtfier
c.tizens, under similar circumstances. How often has it
been the case, that the sentence of Death has been respited
by our Governor, to give the criminal an opportunity for ap
pealing to the Legislature for a pardon ? Mercy and Exec
utive clemency should have extended it in the case of poor
Downing. Rut no. he was given over to the Hangtnau—his
petition for respite having been spurned from the footstool of
P°wer. Gentlemen, what think you of this ? Is it not too
bad that a son of the "Emerald Isle” should thus be treated ;
that laborious class of men, who dig our Canals and build
our Rail Roads ? Yours. O. 1\ Q.
Rrr. Dp. Carnhnni’a I^efier,
MACON, Sept. 16, 1841.
Johj* T. Lamar. Esq.
Sir : I received your Letter of the 13th inst. ru yesterday,
it| which you have enclosed an extract fronp the Savannah
Republican, written by a private correspondent from Macon.
I at onoe perceive, that it wqs gotten up for political purpo
ses, and not for the sake of even-handud justice. I did hope
sir, that the selfish and interested scribblers of Macon, know-
ing my principles of non-interference in Elections, would
have had the common sense not to cast tlieir gilded and de
ceitful bait into a stream where there were 110 gulls to be
tcaugh.
I thank the correspondent “O. P. Q,.,” for his good opin-
ion of me: Rut, I cannot be duped by Ins flattering praise.
I am-well aware of the cunning tsf the serpent, which dazzles
his victim, only to lure him to his fate. Neither I, nor, I
hope, any of my congregation, shall be made the tool of any
party whatsoever ; but, like true citizens, give our suffrages
for the common good of our common country.
When I presented myself before hjs Excellency Gov.
McDonald, with documents sufficient, as / thought, to re
spite any individual, I was received by him with all the
courtesy, affability and kindness of a perfect gentleman.—
And when, after due deliberation, lie gave me a refusal, 1
perceived care, anxiety and grief in his countenance ; and,
no matter how much I may differ from his Excellency in his
decision, he acted as a man of refilled fegliug.
The Governor could not treat my petition with contempt
a?* "O. P. Q..” asserts ; because, fov the bed of all reasons,
I presented him with none—but only with the documents of
the evidence, and thp gFqunds upon which the Attorney ap
pealed for a new trial. And I wish that the writer of "O.
P. CL” had received the Catholic Priest of Macon, with as
much courtesy in a public assembly in the streets of Macon,
as Gov. McDonald has done, both publicly and privately,
since liis acquaintance with his Excellency.
I leave it to the Governor to vindicate his decision with re.
gard to Downing’s case; and should the documents which
are now’ in his hands be published, each and every citizen
will have an opportunity of judging for himself.
I have the hoijor to be sir,
Your obedient humble servant,
J. GRAHAM, V. Pastor,
t —
"I bold ft impossible for any man to devise and com
pass injury to others, without, at the sajrte time, by the very
means he employs to effect his evil purpose, engendering a
punitory re action, which sooner or later inflicts on the ag
gressor, heavier mischief tlign lip occasioned to the victim
of his knavery or malice.”—Taylor.
True as Heaven, even as our present state of existence is
concerned. Indeed, were it otherwise, we should be with
out one of the many copclusive evidences we possess of a
Righteous Superintending Providence, which "shapes man’s
purposes, rough heir them how he will,” and is exemplified
among a thousand instances by the results of Bonaparte’s
attempts to sabjugate Europe, down to the debasing Petty
Larceny villany exposed in the preceding article.
It is put to the conscience and honor of every worthy,
moral and honorable mind, among the thousands of well
meaning patriots in this State, who, by a train of the most
artfully contrived delusions, unparalleled frauds, falseh oods,
and forgeries, were seduced, trepanned into the Whig par
ty (alias, the Rank and Clay party) it is put to tlie conscience
and honor of such men, whether an honest cause, or any
butja sinister, knavish, and inherently corrupt, dangerous, dc.
cepti^us one, needs the employment of the means
has adopted, to render it successful ? Or will the men we
have addressed longer remain rank and file with Peniten*
tiary-deserving caitiffs who perpetrate them?
Of the premeditated, deliberate villany ©f the transac
tion, there can be no question.
The Rev. gentleman, who was basely slandered, by being
given as the authority for the malicious libel on Governor
Mcponaldr resides in this city, and could have been con
sulted at any moment. Rut no, the libel was concocted
here and transmitted to kindred spirits in Savannah, who
eagerly gave it general publicity. Rut by the hired hurry of
the fabrica’ors and their accomplices lo do mischief, they
have defeated themslves, and inenrod the opposition and
withering indignationof everyhigh-minded manthough which
deceived he allowed himself to be called a Whig. The
fraud was intended to cheat our present Executive out of
500 votes, it will secure him thrice the number—the sons
from the land of Shamrocks, will net forget the indignity off
ered to their Pastoral guide, Rev. Mr. Graham, to them
selves and dear old Ireland—nor forget the insult has been
offered by some of the scullions of the BANK ARISTO
CRACY—the ORANGE party of this country.
That party which, when O’Connor, Emett, Saiqpson, gnd
McNevin, were about being exiled, endgayored to have the
American ports closed against them.
Countrymen! let every true-hpartgd son of Erin, who is
legally qualified to vote, as lip iRarchpa to the-Polls on Mon
day week next, remember, in the core of his heart, that De
mocracy is t’ne sacred glorjoua cause- Orr, the Seares, Tone,
Fitzgerald, and Emett died for, and that every vote given,
to Whig. Federal, Rancor Olay Ticket, will be * treach
ery to the memory oh their martyred countrymen.-Erin and
Democracy forpvpr. Every Irishman, then, to the Polls,
bright and early, with 1*« Democratic Ticket ready, and
thus resent the cheat attempted on him and bis country.
It is much IP be regretted that even one of our citizens
should be found mean and unprincipled enough to commit
the gioss and scandalous forgery above exposed. What
rascality would tech men baHt at, if goaded by the depc L
rations and sufferings of indigence ? It is peculiarly morti-
| fyiiig that the name of the Her. gentleman to whom the
| cause of Morality, Rejig ion and Temperance liei under
such deep obligations, should be thus shamelessly, drag
ged before the public, to sustain the death struggling* of the
exploded and expiring Bank faction, or to gratify the stupid,
self importance and imbecile spite of a creature, whose ef
forts to appear a person of cousequeuce. remiuds those who
witness them of the irottings of a dancing monkey.
Any eulogy from us, on the exemplary meritorious and
indefatigable exertions of die Rev. Dr. Graham in the labo
rious pastoral duties he so cheerfully performs, would be
altogether superfluous. "His works speak for him.”
We can also bear irrefragable testimony to the sedulous
care he has exercised preserve his sacred vestments frotQ
the soil of contact with any modification of Politics.
FOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH.
Messrs. Editors:—Pray inform your readers, wheth
er the Colonel Meriwether, who has been lately enacting the
part of counsellor Fuzz Buzz with such notoriety in the
force, oC much ado about nothing, now performing, (namely
the abortive attempts which are iqaking to screen from pub
lic indignation the anti-republican anti-southern votes of the
Georgia Delegation.) be the same celebrated personage
who distinguished himself so gallantly in the Florida war,
and on his return, safe wind and limb, had that long and dig
nified discussion with Governor Schley about Crackers,
Pine Apple Cheese, Chainpaign, $c. laid iq for pflicers
stores ?
It die noble Colonel be the Captain of the time referred
to, he shoqld not have applied the word limp to Mi. Guieu;
fur in the controversy with Gov. Schley and the Governors’
friends, the Captain came off* hurt wild duck fashion, and
was put through Bobadill catagories.
The magnanimous Colopel lias mistaken his vocation, and
would have better secured himself and friends by being
easy. FRITZ-
OUR RAIL ROADS!
The Friends of internal improvement no doubt^will be gra
tified to learn that within a lew clays past a contract has been
consummated between the house of John Frazer iV Co. 01
Charleston, and the Commissioners of the State Road, for
Iron sufficient to lay down fifty two miles. This iron is to
be delivered by or during the month of March next. This
may be hailed as the certain harbinger of the completion of
this great and important work. It also insures to the other
roads connected with it (the Monroe and Central) most im
portant and valuable interests. We believe (in the absence
of documentary testimony) that this amouqt ofjron will com
plete the road to the vicinity of Cassvilie.
With regard to the transportation of the iron to the Road,
we would add, that the most eligible rout that now seems to
otter, is to briug it by the river to this city and carry it over
the Monroe road, to its junction with the main tiuuk.or State
road. On the Monroe road, cars \yill run during next week
to Griffin and trains, wil) pass over it during the coining sea
son for the transportation of produce &.c. On the line above
Griffin to Whitehall, a small amount of grading remains to
be done on eleven sections. The timbers for about half the
superstructure are delivered on the line of the road. There
will be no difficnlty in transporting the Iron to the state road
and of a connection with it by the Monroe road, by the time
it will be received.—Go. Messenger,

heavily. Ships too, for llje moment, are not producing much
income. Rut the general trade of the city i? in a very health-
y state, 'fhg produce of the West is pouring in qpon us as
it never did before, and finds ready sale at very good prices.
Dry goods, hard-ware, crockery, grocries, in fact gopds of all
sorts, .tre in demand at prices which allow fair profits to
the importers and jobbers. Payments are well iqa^e for the
debt contracted last Spring, ami a large promotion of the new
purchases are made for cash. Business men follow their
occupations in perfect confidence. They fear no avalanche
from the South, or explosion under their feet. The demon
of politi-s seem to be p e tty boro uglily cast out of commer
cial affairs. Men feel secure and happy in tlieir prosperity.

Last agonies of the United States Bank.—The follow
ing lettpr from a Philadelphia Corresj>ondeiit, gives the la
test intelligence in reference to the recent great "Regulator”
of currency and the exchanges.
Philadelphia, Sept. 4,1841.
There has been much excitement here to-day among the
brokers and others interested in the dying agonies of tlit; U.
8. Rank, i: having made an assignment in full for tha bene
fit of all its creditors. Robinson, the acting President, Tay
lor, the Cashier, James S. Newbold, Hermann Coj»e, and
James A. Bayard, of Delaware, as assignees. Supposed to
have been occasioned more immediately by the recent suit
brought against it by the city authorities. Yours, S.
V. 8.—Stock selling att*£—note*percent.off*currency.
Bank Safes.—Important Decision.-—The Cincinnati
Republican states that in a case decided at the present term
of the Superior Count of Hamilton county, in wUizh the plain
tiff*, a broker, gave the defendant Gallipoli* notes in ex
change tor other goad currency, a few days before it broke,
which the defendant returned, and received other good notes
m exchange, the plaiqtiff now suing in assumpsit as for mon
ey lent, the Court charged the Jury, timt "the receiving of
bank notes as money, is not a legal, bat a conventional ar
rangement :—that the law is well settled that when bank
notes are taken qs money’, rr inpayment of an antecedent
debt, tl^e risk of insolvency is ujton the party from whom
the bills or notes are received ; even when doth parties
are alike ignorant in regard to the solvency of the bank
whose noths arc passed, unless there is an agreement that
the party who receives the qo.tes, take them athtsotcn risk.”
Rv the late papers from Georgia wc learn the melancholy
intelligence that still another ex-member of Congress from
that 8rate, Dr. Charles E. Haynes, is numbered with the
dead. We have been called upoq yitljiq the last few weeks
to announce the decease of our valued friends, Gen. Glas
cock aud Col. Cleave land, from that State, and now even
another is added to the list. We knew them all intimately
—Dr. Haynes was a native of Virginia, but has been a resi
dent of the State of Georgia for several years. He was in
the fifty eighth year of his age. Few more worthy men
have ever lived.—Old Dominion.

WHAT WAS PROPOSED TO RE DONE IN CON
GRESS—AND WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
1. It was proposed, as the leading measure of the Session,
the establishment of a Rank. After two successive attempts
Congress adioums, leaving the currency in a state of great
disorder ami the public money at the will of the Executive.
2. It was proposed to distribute the proceeds of the pub
ic lands as n measurpjiecessary to aid the embarrassed^tiuan-
res and credit of the States, and to snatch the public domain
from the grasp of the Western sections of the Confederacy,
not merely as a temporary financial expedient, but as a
measure of permanent policy and distributive justice.—
How have these*ends been answered? A Land Rill has been
passed, but it is so inefficient even as a financial expedient,
that it has not advanced the price of Spate Stocks in the
smallest degree, ami its operation is so limited, which any
one of the least penetration must see, that the small modi
cum of benefit which it yield* to the States must cease af
ter the next Session of Congress. So much for the second
great measure of the Session.
3. It was proposed to revise the tariff so as to produce a
sum to the revenue sufficient fa make up a large part of the
deficit of the Treasury. The only two articles that pro-
inised this result, Tea and Cofl’ge, arp left, as they were,
free. This third leading measure of National legislation,
therefore, is a nullity for the purposes intended.
4. It was proposed to raise a sum by loan to meet the de
ficit in the* Treasury and to replace a floating by a funded
debt. How has this been effected ? Instead of a loan of
twenty years duration, which could have been obtained at 5
per cent, per ar.num, one is proposed at a little higher rate
of interest redeemable at the pleasure of the Treasury.—
Capitalists will not invest in such a loan to any large amouut,
ana nothing but the total absence of employment for and su
perabundance of monied capital enables the National Trea
sury to borrow even limited sums. Ttys 48 » then, another
legislative nullity, for the treasury is tinreplenished and the
country ren^ine 'witb all the disadvantages of both, a floating
and a funded debt.
5. It was p<opo«ed to establish a Bankrupt Law A Bank
rupt law is prospectively 9staUidved. ami 500,000brnkaunts,
the number computed in the United States, are to suffer
bondage of mind, if not of body, for at least five rqotubs
longer, with the prospect of a repeal of the law sp soon as
Congress, meets at die regular session.
This, as far as it mav realizp the benefits intended by its
continuance, is the only measure passed by Congress of a
really efficient character. It has passed three acts which
are nullities for the ends intended,one that will do good if it is
permanent, but that act which was to be'tlie crowning mea
sure of the- whole series—the act of all others that to have
been-flic cardinal achievement of the se ^sion—where is it?
gone to the tomb of the Cspulets for the next four years at
lease. Ah! we had forgotten, Congress has repealed the
Sub-Treasury. This is indeed a negative good. It has left
the public money without those guards of law wich it was
die object of the repeal to provide.—It has thrown Che Exe
cutive back on die pet bank system, that system still more
accursed than the Sub Treasury. So much for whit Con
gress has done and left undone.
H<rw, we leave it to the public to decide whether ourpro-
phscic* have been fulfilled or ih>l
