THE MACON GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. From the Philadelphia Fornm. THE FAITHFUL DOO, Br MRS. N. S. The attachment manifested by the canine race for their owners, their sagacity and faith fulness. have been the them: of numberless stories, and many are led to believe thorn en dowed with the same reasoning powers as ourselves. It is neither to assent to litis opin ion, nor yet to attempt confuting it, that the following inc’dents are penned—but to record an instance which transpired under my imme- d ate observation, of their devotion and fi delity. It will ho remembered tint Alabama was originally a p art of Mississippi Territory. Its emit g tity to Georgia and the C.trolinas in. »i iced numberless families from those Sta es to tv.'move there. The route pursued by them ted through the Cherokee nation, and like the Israelites of old, the emigrants experienced difficulties in reaching safely the land of prom* ise. In some seasons of the year, the rivers and creeks are swollen by the* frequent rains as to render them troublesome. It was during one «.f these periods that a family, consisting of a man, his wife and four children left North Carolina to settle themselves at Cahawba, the original seat of government, and in crossing some stream, they we re upset/and precipitated, with all their earthly goods, into the water. With the greatest difficulty the head of the family succeeded in securing his wife, and three of the children, together with the wagon and horses, Irom their perilous s tuation—but the habv, with the principal part of the bag gage had gone to the bottom. Half distrac ted, the mother bethought her of endeavoring to rescue the child, and holding up one of its little frocks, she directed their dog. of the Newfoundland breed, to seek for it at the spot in which it was believed to have perished. Diving under the water, the dog disappeared. The most intense distress was of course experi enced, with faint hopes of his ultimate success; hut in n few secconds the agitation of the water announced his coming, and the dog arose to the surface with the child, holding his cloths firmly gripped between Ins teeth, and swimming with it to the land, deposited it safely at the feet of ilic mother. By the untiring exertions of the parents the child was restored to life again, and without further detention they arrived safe at their destination. Until the accident, the dog had never mani fested any particular attachment for the child, hut from the time of rescuing it from a watery grave, the animal acted as if he considered it under his own superintending charge. It would never leave it. Sleeping or waking, it ist crouching beside the child, who soon dis covered for the dog a proportionable degree of affection. The mother soon died from the effects of the baneful fever of the country—then follow- cd one of the children, then another, and yet another, and the only remaining survivors of the once happy family were the father, the child, and the faithfully attached dog. And now the storms of fate gathered around this poor offspring of misfortune. The father sunk under the weight of his accumulated mis fortunes, and fell into intemperate habits. The child was neglected, left for hours to the com- pan : onship of his dog, and the loneliness of its own melancholy lot—young as it was, for it was then only three years cfage, it was suffer ed to wander where it listed, and it would stroll in the woods far away from its home, with no one to guide its course but its own childish fancies, secure in the protection of its mufe attendant. I have seen it sleeping beneath a hedge, its innocent head pillowed upon the faithful creature, its little arms twined around its neck. For more than a year they led this kind of itinerant life; and as they always returned ere nightfall, and the boy grew in strength, the father took little heed of either. There was something remarkable about the dog and child. Both seemed to shun com munion with their kind, attaching themselves solely to each other. When weary, it occa sionally sought its desolate home; and if press ed by hunger, stopped on the way to solicit from some charitable neighbor a slice of bread. Food was never refused it, either for itself or the friend accompanying it. At length the cliilJ sickened and died also, owing probably to some exposure nod neglect. When the neighbors went in to administer to its necessities during the illness, it was always found lying with its bend resting upon the dog’s shaggy neck, with one of its a'ms twined around it, and thus it drew iis latest breath. The chill was buried, and from this time the Jog drooped and pined away. No rfforts were found successful to hire s;rave. The fond with which he was daily supplied remained untasted until one morning the miserable father who had lived to see h's household destroyed, his hearth desolated, found the little mound which covered his child, scratched up to a considerable depth with the lifoless remains of the faithful dog lying in the cavity.

Will it contribute to her prosperity, that instead of sending to lowell and Lynn and Salem to ml our stores, we learn to fid them ourselves and leave her that home market of which t*be talks so well ?

In the discussions on the results of tariffs of duties, both high an 1 low, why will the Protectionisls omit so important an element in their reasonings as the stale of the circti sting medium. This is a counteracting or co-operating circum stance, with liieh or low duties, according as the currency is excessive or contracted. When we hail very low duties, we had large importations, not because ot the low duties, but of an inflated circulation, and now when the duties o:i some articles are high, we have limited importations, not because of the high duties, but of a reduced circulation. aV contracted or an expanded currency is only another form ot expression for the fact, that the demand is either diminish- j ed or enlarged—the purchasing power of consumers less- J „.. ^.1 nMiMatinn tn enrh <*nnt ruction or en- %ld RJCH’I).

Bat fellow-citizens, the former Xallifiers, who now compose the Whig party exclaim against the Nullification of Mr. Calhoun. A few words upon this point. The posi tion to which this great man will probably be called, is one peculiarly National, and if we argue from the past, as to the future action of the Federal Executive, it may be safely af firmed diat no President of the U. States, will ever fail to exercise all the powers which legitimately belong to the of fice. Usurpation, rather dian too much forbearance, by the National Executive, is to be feared. Place Henry Clay in the Chair of State, whose policy as a statesman, is by con struction of the Federal charter to enlarge the powers cf the General Government, and you have the opinions of the man, and the tendencieaoftbePolitician.combiningwiihtbe temptations of bis nation to urge him onward in a system of ursupadon, the result of which must be the slavery of the States, or the disrupuon of the Union. But in the nomiuee of your Convention, you find a man whose opinions, send- menu, and professions are all in favor of the righu of the States and a strict construcdon of the constitution, and these will clesrly counteract the tendencies of hia position as Pre sident, Yet no one can doubt, that Mr. Caiboun, if elected will exert all the powers which of right belongs to the of fice. Henry Clay may, by his usurpation of powers not granted, produce Nullification, whilst John C. Calhoun, jealous of the rights of the States, will only exercise the granted powers, and dius remove all necessity of the adop tion of this mode of redress. In fact you may well fear a President who may encroach or, the liberties of the people, bat you need never fear that any President of the United Sutes will nullify the action of the General Government. But yocr delegates do not claim support fury our nominees solely upon the ground that they are right in dteir political opinions. They appeal to the good and the virtuous of all parties, to rally to the support ol those whose pure characters and blameless lives have adorned the domestic circle, whilst their adherence to the doctrines of the Republican school, give assurance that in such hands the citadel will be safe. And it is a consolation above all price that we may thus lay the claim of your candidates to popular favor upon their pri vate virtues as men, and resting on these as on s tower of strength, calmly, and dispassionately discuss their priori- pies as politicians. We need not look back on those lines of distinction, which first separated, and continues to separ ate, the Republican and Federal Parties, under the various names, winch, from time to time, hrve been assumed; it is enough for us to deal with the present. We msy however remark, that all the differences have originated from one common point. The Constitution is the text book of Re publicanism in this country, and tlie truth of every political opinion may lie subjected to this simple test, is there such a grant in the National character! The Constitution, and its strict construction, are the lights which guide ns in cur po litical course, whilit our opponents now, and ever have in- iulged in that lalitudinarian construction of that instrument which has made our Government anything or nothing asttie caprices of the moment, or temporary views of expediency, may have dictated. much have we deemed it necessary to say in relation totwoof the candidates, selected by your Convention, at fly huve been di- * your candidate for Congress, as noiliinglus been orcanbesaid again.-*, his character as a man, or against the consistency of the Demo- lim from the Milledgeville; because against theme reeled the shafts of our opponents.

If the selection cannot he made from the same section that Col. Lamar represented, we know of no one we would d<*d bv the tegis ofit3 character. Fellow-citizens, beware of such an ins'tdution—heed not the voice of the charmer—it is the song of the syren th«t leads you to destruction. And next let us refer to the question of the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands. These lands were intended as a common fund forthe benefit of the Union and the distribution of the proceeds of their sales among the . r . States, was a mere device of the Whigs, during their shor^ sooner ^upport than Col. J. As the Georgian re reign, to cajole and bribe the people into a support of their measures. Take this source of revenue from the General Government, and its place must be supplied either by di reel or indirect taxation, in the form or an odious, and op pressive tariff.—“It keeps the word ol promise to the ear, and b-eaks it to the sense.”—It gives to the States a paltry pittance, and wrings from its citizens, double payment for the boon. And lastly, the modification of the Veto power. Whence has arisen this desire, to change the fundamental law of the land,—to destroy the balance wheel of the Constitution, and to deface, and deform, that hallowed charter of our liberties, sanctified by the blood of the Revolution, aad bequeathed to us by our sires as their last, beet gill?*’ Whence this desire, we ark? It is the abortion ol a defeated, and am bitious faction. Foiled in their efforts to obtain power, and maddenfed by disappointment, they seek to mar the symme try and harmony of our beautiful, but complex form of go vernment. The argument that the veto power is a retie of tyranny, is morespecious than sound.—Ifttbe a relic of tyr- rany, blot it out of the Constitution; hut no, that pro)>ositinn would be too monstrous, and so our opponents seek to do indirectly, t*inl which they dare not attempt directly. What is the modification which they propose? Why. to retain the power nominally, bnt if he same majority shall pass the same law, then the veto power ia without force ana effect. Preserve the Constitution then as it is—leave thePresident the veto, which may he controlled by two-thirds of the peo ple’s representatives, or if.u be an evil, blot it out from the record. Bat itis norelic of tyranny—our ancestors who placed it there, were fresh from a bloody coatest for human rights—where jealous of tyrrany in every form, and impo sed no guards but those which would protect our liberties. Such fellow citizens, are our principles, and the princi ples of the candidates whom your delegates offer to vou— they are the principles on which the government was based and by which alone'it can be preserved. If such are your principles, rally then to their support,—rally as one man. with one heart, and animated by one desire, the holy and blessed desire to preservethe liberties of your country, and to transmit them to your posterity, pure as you received them. If they are yOur principles, let no private feelings, no sectional jealousy check you in the performance of that dutv which you owe your country, and yourselves. The storm of passion and bumbuggery which desolated the country in 1840, and swept away for the moment, as with the “besom of destruction,” the reflection nnd princi- p'e* of the people, has subsided. The dark night lias en ded in which logcabins, and coon skins.and pepper pods, and gourd vines were the emblems and watch-words abd princi ples of a party, and a purer, and brighter day has dawned.

These men operate on the roads from the Rio del Norte to the towns of Bexar and Goliad, and occasionally venture on a plundering expedition, as far as the river Colorado. Unless rooted out thev will prove a heavy drawback on the prosperity of both Texians and Mexicans.

The prospect before us is becoming brighter and brighter evety day—the signs of the times point to a great and glorious victory. The following is from the last Columbus Times: We have received a letter from Athens, from a reliable source, which says that ‘Gilmer is offtyith many in Ogle thorpe. Greene, Taliaferro, Morgan.nnd Elbert. “Exhort to union: say what the Whigs may of change, &c.; in their candidate, the Democrats have a friend and ad vocate of Den ncratic faith and policy.

The general elections in Alabama took place on Monday the 7th inst.

When we get the entire returns we will publish them. Alaba ma ia Democratic to the core. The Coons will soon be driven beyond the limits of civilization. North Carolina.—The returns from this State are so few and sparse, that no definite opinion can be fotmed as to their result. Democratic Arlilre.ss to the People of Georgia. The emphatic and pregnant words, able and elo quent, are now-a days so frequently applied to the numerous frothy and superficial productions that labor from the press, that those complimentary ad jectives have almost ceased to have a meaning, or to be looked upon as distinguishing marks of mer it or genius. We can however, in introducing to our readers the Democratic Address to the People of Georgia, safely and truly say, that it is both a- bleand eloquent; and what is still better, that it is honest, manly, republican and independent. It is a free, frank and lucid Exposition of the great leading principles recognised by the Democratic Party of Georgia, which scorns to evade a full and fair, ex pression of opinion, either directly or indirectly, on those huh and important measures of public poli cy so interesting to the welfare of the people, and to the preservation and perpetuation of the republican institutions of their government. “Those who run may read” and see the plain and open course we nre pursuing—there is no evasion, no equivocation, no ambiguity, no mystery about it—it lays all bare to the people, and seeks no advantage either by plot or-counter-plot to accomplish, its patriotic objects. We have set our adversa'ies a fair and houora bio example; but we are really apprehensive they will not follow it. Their politics appear to belong to an entirely difieient school—to the Mnchiavelic <5cj Talleyrandic school, which always delights in ob scurity and intrigue, and never realises its own ele vation but at the expense of the peoples, rights and privileges. We hope the Address will be not only attentive- however, to let the people know it; for, when they come to know it, the Protectionists are well aware that their day of grace is over anti gone—clean gone. Yet, after all, Protection does not afford a lasting source of profit, even to the Protectionists them selves. It is true, that the large capitalists may, at first, accumulate large fortunes, by pionopoli- zingthe market—but, it is equally true, that Pro tection will ultimately destroy itself, by creating a ruinous spirit of competition, which must always inevitably ensue, when favored interests are un justly protected 1 by exclusive privileges and advan tages. Did its ruinous and paralyzing effects stop here, we might, indeed, quietly sit down, and let the evil correct itself. But, no—it transfuses its deadening influence throughout the xvhole body politic; and every other branch of industrial busi ness most sensibly feels its torpedo touch, as it drives from our market, by degrees, the foreign purchasers of our raw materials, and enables the Protectionisls to,regulate the prices to be paid to the producers for their great staple commodities. Thus, a general paralysis seizes upon the whole system; and Agricultuie, Commerce, Mechanics, nay, all kind of honest enterprize and labor, ana even Manufactures themselves, become, at last, impaired and prostrated. These are the progressive and destructive work ings of the Protective System; and its results are ascertain nnd inevitable as that light and beat pro ceed from the Sun, whilst the Earth, in het diurnal course, revolves around that great and glorious Lu minary. And this is the System which Herny Clay and his satellites would curse the country with, instead of a Tariff for Revenue, to satisfy the necessary wants pf the General Government—a measure for wnich the Democracy of Georgia and the Union are now patriotically struggling, and which they will soon triumphantly accomplish, notwithstanding the formidable opposition they have to encounter.

We can scarcely describe the surprise and iudipn^, which wc feit in seeing in tire “Petersburg In elligencer" of yesterday morning, an article republished “Froti th, Richmond Whig." Is it possible, that the Editors of two papers are so ignorant of past events, that they do t* know that the letter which i3 there attributed to Mr. J,f„’ son is a downright forgery ? and, that its genuine dnre-t; was exposed thirteen years ago ? The transaction u.j. noise at the lime—for, Mr. Jefferson’s letter, socotsal 1L tary to Mr. Clay, was seized upon by the Federal party a i a strong card at the time—but when the forgery waseipr^j in a manner calculated to silence all argument, the U’iiq press dropped it at the time like a h5t potat e—and jq j, here the “Richmond Whig” now evoking it from its grave, to make capital for the oenefit of Mr. Clay ! A word as to the original transaction! The Richmud Whig sets out with the following introduction : "Mr. Jefferson and the American System—and g- Clay.—In Niles’ R -gister for 1830—that most valutik compendium of American History—we find the anotnj letter from Mr. Jefferson. It tells a tale new to many, wfo are inthe habit of ssverfringby alloi Mr. Jefferson's opin* —and who. nevertheless, through ignorance, or some leu excusable cause, are accustomed to quote him as uuiiuAj for their denunciation cf Mr. Clay aud the ‘American &*, tem.’ ” Then follows the extract “from Niles’ Register Jolt J( 1830,” which first refers to certain extracts from Mr. Jf son’s Reports and Letters, iu favor of a protective targ- nrgumenta that are completely offsetted and overthrown.W subsequent developments of Mr. Jefferson's riper opining on seeing the exact operation of the tariff—(These latter developements we published in the course of last year,tad will republish them, if we find it to be necessary to defier Mr Jefferson’s true position.) Then follows on the further extract from “Niles’Register,” containing Mr, Jeffersos'i alleged letter, which the Richmond Whig parades witk such a flourish of trumpets. The Register publishes it with the following head : "Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Clay.—The Rhode Wind Lileiarv Subaltern nfihe 25th inst. (.quere nit.) containiu interesting letter, wbii-h we subjoin, from Mr Jeffersontnt distinguished manufacturer aud capitalist of Mtrsaefcn- setts.” This celebrated forgery purports to be written frou “Montirello May 25.1823,” and makes M.\ Jefferson nj, among other things— •• Ihavenlhrays been of opinion, that the people of Hit Nation, should manufacture all the fabrics Ihttr exign- cies demand, if they can do so—and.that they can ion, icilhout applying to the workshops of England, Praia and Germany, who will doubt ? "As to Mr. Cay. I consider him to be one of lleant talented and brilliant men nnd statesmen that the cm- try has ever produced., and should I lire, many tun longer, I hope to see him hold the pace of Chief Exeat- live of the American Republic.’’ _ 1 And now for the authenticity of this boasted letter! It was published (no doubt written) by S. Southworlh.the edi tor of the Rhode Island Subaltern—since, a Wnshnetot Correspondent of a Baltimore paper,in which capacity he threw out some allusions to the log cabin and hard cider, that the cunning Whigs turned immediately to such ic- count—one of the most adroit of them, now on a hindsree mission abroad, told us. within a week after the appett- ance of the silly letter, they would use it in the paiupstn, and that it would be worth to the Whig cause 50 000 rceei This Mr, Southworth. who is certainly a man of scire til enis, is now said to be an occasional Correspondent cf at “ Madisonian,” in New York, where he is said ta hold office. He must thank his quondam friends (tlie Clayites.) for bringing these reminiscences up against the worlofhi hands in 1830.—No sooner did this letter appear in the ‘‘Subaltern,” than we took a great deal of pains to capon tbe forgery. We sent on 1 to the Postmaster of Providence, Mr. Jdfferson’s genuine autograph, to compare it with tie alleged original of the letter of 1823—but Mr. Soothwoni, w ho had dared the comparison, flinched from the itsae— declined showing his MS. letter—and the whole plot «n blown sky high. ~ He has not since, we believe, denied tie forgery.
