FOR THE .MACON TELEGRAPH.
Nr. Editor:—It is by no means an ascertained point,
what ilie decision of the Democratic Convention at Bulti
more, will be. Mr. Calhoun may be the uoininee—I car•
ne*tly hope he may. Or Mr. Van Boren, the man for
whom we struggled in 1F40, against obloquy mid abuse,
such as party never suffered, since the days when Demo,
cratic .Republicans stood up for Jefferson against Adams
and Federalism. For him I am willing to battle again, if a
majority of ihe Democracy of the United States will it so.
Whatever my prepossessions are in favor of Mr. Calhoun,
however, I feel no disposition to underr4te the claims of
Mr. Van Buren. And I conceive it to bewery bad policy,
for any one of our political family,—especially the Editor of
a paper—to do so as he may yet have to sustain Mr. Van
Btirea; and in (bat event, the opposition would not fail to
quote his own words against him.
Some of our most staunch friends—those in Crawford
The Whig’, paper, have not yet published the full returns I * od Madiaon - for instance—with a worthy real, in the cause

bood and abase, have felt reluctant to give him up n«w,

gang of bloody fiee-iing phle-bottom-izers!

The steamer Acadia arrived at Boston on the 2d
bringing dates to the 19i!i July. The Cotton
rostket had improved and become more active, and
commercial affairs, generally, wore a (avorableas-
' pect.
This arrival brings the following important ar-
hetetelating to the Ashburton Treaty, as it is cal
led:
, Aihberton Trenty.—There existed some appre-

Mr ?' * >ut ha» been aet aside by Lord Ashburton*
• declaring that "a alave arriving in the British ter-
. Wver ean be claimed or tendered liable to any per-
’“•Uertice.” ,
^ e do not recollect, particularly, the provisions
the Treaty here alluded to, and cannot now con
veniently refer to it. But, if Lord Ashburton’s con
duction is correct, we must say, that a great inter-
’**of the South has been most shamefully and
^mngfully overlooked and abandoned; and that it
^ihe imperative duty of the General Government
kmaiptly to see that that interest is fully and amp

POSTSCRIPT.
Political Suicide—or, the Clnyitca cutties off
their otrn heads!
Wc stop the press toannotinte that the last Geor
gia Courier ratne to us, horrabile dictu! with its
own Big Head cut right smack smooth off. It is
hydra-headed, however, and fonf little ones yet re
main—but the little heads exhibit such horrid symp
toms of lunacy, that we have no doubt a confirmed
case of delirium, of the most malignant type, will
supervene, which must end either in the little heads
swallowing themselves up; or, in imitation of their
“illustrious predecessor." cuttingtheirown throats
fnorri ear to ear. This is much worse, and more
deeply to be lamented, than the mad pranks of our
neighbor of the Messenger, who is in the weekly
1 abit of biting off snips of his own uose to spite bis
face.
It is difficult to imagine wiiat could impel the
Courier to this voluntary net of self-destruction.
For our part, we cannot auribute it to any oilier
cause, than that professional ambition which some
times induce learned and zealous doctors to experi-
mertally sacrifice themselves for the good of the
public.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
A Native Georgian has been informed that,
owing to the manner in which lie introduced the
extract from the Messenger, that elicited the stric
tures in your last, it may he mistaken as coming
from that pnper editorially, takes the first opportu
nity of removing an impression of the kind, if any
such has been made. The ofifensive extract allu
ded to, was not published as editorial in the Mes
senger—it appeared in that print as the eommuni-
cutioa of a curtcspondeut, and was treated as such.
ATTENTION ItenOCBATS!
Itrailx up—look to the right and left!
Brother Democrats—Listen to the short talk
of an old Soldier. The signal has sounded for you
to meet on Thursday next to choose your Candi
dates for the next Legislature. Come then with a
rush—come one, come all; for you have a great du
ly to perform. Your adversaries are upon the look
out—they are beqting the bush, and bringing their
strongmen into the field; anti if you don't over
match them, as we know yott can, they will tear
yon uproot and branch. We need not tell you to
pick your flints,” for you never snap or flash in
the pan. Come on, then, and choose your men.
Let them be able, active, and experienced Hunters,
who know how to tree'and bringdown their game
—we have already chased our adveisnries up the
gum tree and down the hollow; and if we mind
our eye now, all tlmt we will have todo, will be to
screw them out with a strong Hickory twig. Go it
then, boys, and Coons will soon be as scarce in
Bibb county, a9 hens teeth in a poultry yard, or
beats tracks in a tar barrel.
A GEORGIA TRUE BLUE.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
I perceive there is a Meeting called, in the last
Democrat, of the Democratic Party of Bibb coun
ty, to meet at the Court-House, on the 17th, to
select candidates fur the Leg'slatme. Wjiy not,
at the same lime, select candidates also, for Coun
ty Officers? I think one is os important as the
other. If so, the sooner it is determined who ate
to run, the better for the Party, as well as for the
candidates. I hope there will be n full turn out at j Mr. Town Pump rose and said—Mr. Chairman. I feel
the Convention, and that every man will come | oomewhnt at a loot to know bow to commence this defence;
with his mind prepared to act on the subject. W h W' taW ’ a . n ‘ 1 J V 1 ” USt

Mr, Editor: I would respectfully suggest the j j oa f ers> - w j, 0 have no identity of interest with the place-
following names ns suitable candidates for the Le- men who are “ entirely destitute of character.” (Here.the
to bear aloft the banner of Van Buren.
But mark the devotion to principle, of those Democrats of
Crawford and Madison! They urged the claims of their
favorite, with a romantic and a commendable real, but ns
soon as they saw the aecresa of our party ahd our princi-
plea jeopardized by a continuance in thatcourae, see how
they acted! Let their conduct he imitated by all Demo
crats, when the majority of the party decide against their
individual wishes. It is natural, when strongly impressed
with the justice of the claims of a candidate, whom we be
lieve will carry out effectually our principles, to wish to see
him nominated. And it is natural for us to feel, for a while
discontented anj restive, if he Is not nominated. But should
we not recollect, that a majority of the parly, are p obsbly
as zealous for our principles as ourselves! That they_ are
probably as disinterested and as capable of deciding cor
rectly as we are!! A little reflection then, calms our irrita
ted feelings and we acquiesce cheerfully io the Democratic
rule—the majority must govern. ,
I hare stated that I am favorable to the claims of Mr.
Calhoun- 1 am so. for many reasons. Some of those rea -
sons are as follows: I believe John C. Calhoun to be the
fin-t man of the age, in depth and vigour of intellect, in
purity ofheartand life, as a man, and as a Statesman, and. I
believe that-his views and principles comprise the only
true interest of the country, and that he is better qual fied
to carry out thore views and principles, than any other man
in the United States. For such reasons, of the troth of
which, 1 am as firmly impressed, as I am of the truth of the
decaingne, I am disposed to prefer Mr. Calhoun's claims
to the Presidency.
But while I prefer Mr. Calhoun myself. I hold myself
ready to abide the decision of the National Convention. If
that body of the delegates of the Democracy of the country
decide in favor of Mr. Van Buren. I will waive my own
predilections and with all'my strength, advance his claims.
But are all of Mr. Calbau. 's friends, disposed to a ac
quiesce in the choice of the Convention 7 I hope and trust
they are.
I was induced to commit these idess to paper, particular;
Jy with a view of quieting the apprebeusions of some of our
friends, who fear otherwise, as I must believe that their
fears are groundless. A portion of the stereotype para,
graph, at the head of the editorial column of the American
Democrat as well as the tone of some of its editorials, has
caused some of our friends, to believe that, that paper is so
strongly possessed in favor of Mr. Calhoun, as to be dis
posed t > sacrifice the integrity of the party, ifhe is not
nominated. The words (after proposing the name of Mr.
Calhoun) are these,:
Subject of coarse to the decision of a National Demo
cratic Convention, the d,legates In be cko*cn directly by
the people; to convene n't Baltimore, Mat 1844. ana
there individually express faith fullt, the mill of their
constituents."
It is suggested, that there Is something equiroeal in the
phraseology, that there is a latent reservation of the privil
ege of embarrassing the action and success of the party, by
clinging to Mr. Calhoun and rallying a Southern interest
for him, if he is defeated in the Convention. And that the
Democrat reserves the right to defy the decisions of any
convention, the delegates to which are not “ chosen direct
ly fry the peopleas members to Congress or the State
Legislature are chosen ; any Convention which meets else
where than at *• Baltimore,” or at any other time than
“ May 1S44or if the delegates do not—in the opinion of
the American Democrat—*' express fazthfcelt the will
of their Constituents.”
These ideas are suggested, that the Democrat, may cor
rect the errouenas opinions, which its zeal in the cause of
Mr. Calhoun has created, in the miods of those who const
He r that paper rather too ultra in irs advocacy of that gen-
tleman's claims for his gco.i. And the writer, desires that
bis motives may not be understood, by the Democrat lobe
other, than to afford it the opportunity of correcting an im*
pressiun, that is equally unfavorable to itself and the party.
Engaged as the writer of this article is, in common with
the American Democrat, in advancing the principles oftlie
Democratic party, and the claims of John C- Calhoun to the
Presidency, be has no other motive than the success of
both.' And ifhis ideas, of the propriety of anathematising
any public man or pa>ty orgnu. whose views and interests
differ from his own, do not entirely accord with the opin
ions of the Democrat, the cause must be referred to a differ
ence of temperament, rather than to a want of zeal for the
triumph of Democratic priuciplea, or a wantof energy in
advocating the claims of John C. Calhoun, on the suffrages
of the party which desires—“no debt; separation from
hank*-, economy; retrenchment: mud a strict adherence to
the Constitution.” MODERATION.
A Mrctittg of the CilizrM of Bibb,
Convened at the Court-House, on Friday, the AIh insl.
ana organized, by calling Bobnel. Slick to aet as
Chairman, and Johnny Mill-Pond as Secretary.
The Chairman said the object of the meeting was, to take
into consideration the many and uncalled-for abuses of an
ungrateful people, and as near as possible to allay the pub
lie indignation (now shown forth in various forms) against
some of your most worthy public functionaries, to wit
•• The Guardians of the People.”
r draft suitable resolutions, expressive of a just sense of th
meeting. I know but little of the numerous complaints and
charges alleged ! but I deem it richt and proper, that this
meeting should determine, whether the whole Court is to
be censured by an indignant community, for the conduct
and actions of a faithless few .(.fust at this moment the meet
ing was disturbed by the sliding of the Alligator.)
The question was then taken, and carried in the affirma
tive, by a large majority.
Whereupn*. the Chat: man appointed John Alligator,
Johnny Mill-Pond, and Billy Squint, as that Committee.
After retiring a few moments, they returned with the fol
lowing Preamble and Resolutions:
Whereas,certain meddlesome persons, to wit: the people
of Bibb county, have thought proper to arraign the conduct
of this peerless body, fordoing acts which are their birth-
right to do; and whereas, the 3aid meddlesome individuals
have no other pretext for their impertinent and highly inso
lent interference; save and except the paltry consideration,
that they (the people of Bibb) have, as in duly bound, to
pay taxes annually, to defray the expenses of those laudable
acts of your body; and whereas, the said insolent per
sons .have arrogated to themselves the ridiculous and ab,
surd right of questioning us as to those acts; end forsooth,
assumed she right of being indignant, because we will not
answer those audacious questions: Therefere, be it
Resolved by the august functionaries of this aicfitllody,
and it is hereby irrevocably Resolved by the same. That
we (here the manuscript is illegible) are the greatest men
now living; and so men. or set of men, have any right to
question our acta whether of an official or personal charac
ter.
Be it Resolvtd further by the authority aforesaid,
That it is out 1 undoubted right to impose on the peopleof
Bibb—or any other county, if we choose—such extra taxes,
as, in our wisdom, we consider proper; and no one has the
right to question the purposes or manner of applying them.
Resolved further, That the people of Bibb county, for
their impertinent interference in affairs solely our own. de
serve the severest frowns of this b>dy. (Here they all
frowned, one or two in particular, frowned dreadfully!)
Resolvtd, That if, in future, any person in said county,
should speak, whisper, bint, or nod, or by any other process,
convey an idee derogatory to the dignity of this body, he
shall be imprisoned io the county jail lor six months; and if
such derogations shall proceed so far as to publication, of
any nature, in tLe newspapers, the person so offending, in
addition to the above imprisonment, shall have his taxes
doubled the next year, and we will never speak to him a-
gain. or countenance him in any manner whatever.
Resolved, That no man, who has not resided over two
years in the county, be permitted to arrogate to himself
the right t.» buy the vote of any member of ibis body, and
defend said right, through the gazettes of this place, (•' al
though he tnay have the money to pay for it,”) under penal
ty of public notoriety, for an attempt tc trifle with the penal
code of this State.
Resolved, That the Poor House of Bibb is a model in
stitution ; and its management for some time past, should
commend itself td the worthy example of all functionaries in
other places.
Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the
gazettes of this place, and “copies printed in Idtters of gold
on blue satin,” be framed in mahogany, and suspended on
every pine tree tjad persimmon bush in the county.
The following jdditioral resolution was offered aud adopt
ed with the above, by acclamation:
Whereas, from remote contiguity, it has been the custom
to perpetuate the memories of great philanthropists, by
preserving their form and featuees.on canvass or in marble:
Therefore Retolved. That a Commit'ee be appointed, to
determine the amount of additional tax necessary, to employ
Ureenougb. or sone other distinguished sculptor, to chisel
out a statue of our eminently taciturn brother—(we cannot
make out the name;) and also another, of bis worthy cosd-
jutors who shall be represented with all the professional
symbolsofEsculjpius, and that both statues be placed in
the “ Poor-IIoase,” for the admiration of posterity, and the
adoration of all who hare experienced their hard treatment
in that Asylum. ‘
Resolved, That this meeting now adjourn, until called by
the Chairman. BOBNEL SLICK, Chairman.

Dr. Bartlett:—1 hope the Democratic “Com-

as if lamenting the depra-icy and immorality of the age.) I,
Mr. Chairman, I, who served my country bn the tempestu
ous octsn’s stormy billows, ’midst disease and death—I,
who rolled the pills of destruction in the mortar of Fame,
to be thus trifled with! Will you, my fellow citizenj. suf
fer the right arm of our National defence thus insulted, in toy
person t No 1 forbid it. ye departed shades of my country’s
fathers! Am I, Mr. Chairman, to be held to publio gaze,

secused of intrigue, combination. leaguing with Court? Of
receiving an amount sufficient to feed 00 paupers, at $7 per
month, for a whole year, and dividjog the profits with one
of your body? Am Itobearall this, and make no defence,
(until I am assured it comes from a " respectable quarter ?’)
No, sir! I cannot, nor^will not stand it! 1 Boo-oo-h.
Judge Bacon then rose, and begged to remark, that his
character had been villified and traduced,foy continued ac-

n candidate to fill the recent vacancy in Congress. ‘
The merits of Col. C. are too well known to the
people of Georgia, to need allusion to here. And
when it is remembered, iliat be lias heretofore ob
tained the highest vole of any one on our ticket, I
trust the suggestion will not be thrown away.

Dr. Bartlett:—Permit me through the medium
of your paper to suggest to the nominating Coin- j
1 as a public servant, for years past; and why should a coun
ty attempt to brand him with villany and corruption, (•’ for
I taking what wu offered to him/*) when the setting sun upon
his public career had well nigh gene down, with his mental
and phyaicial powers on die wane, and at a time when he
should be able to vacate his seat, and retire in humble ob-
scurity. with honor to himself and credit to his county 7
The Chairman said, his views were in ezect accordance
with Judge Bacon's. He believed that much of the present
Henry Clay and Aaron Knrr. \
The following letter, (says the Bay Stale Democrat,) is
taken from Co'.m in’s N. Y. Herald, of March 21st. 1807.
It presents “Hurry of the West” in rather an awkward
light as espousing the cause of Aaron Burr. We give
it, however, rather as a historical curiosity, which may-
serve to recall to mind the everts to which it alludes :
Fjiajjkfort, Dec. 1, 1806.
Sir : I have no design, nor have I taken any measure, to
promote a dissolution of the Union, or a stparation of any
one or more States from the residue. J have neither pub
lished a line on this subject, nor lias any one through my
agency or with my knowledge. I have no design to inter
meddle with the government,or to disturb the tranquility of
the United Stales, or of its territories or any part of them.
I have neither issued nor signed nor promised a commission
to ar:V person for anv purpose. I do not own a musket nor
a bayonet n ir any single article of military stores, nor does
auv person for me by authority or with my knowledge.
My views have been follv explained to. and approved by
several of thn principal officers of government, and, I be
lieve, are well understood by the administration and seen
bv it with complacency—they are such as every man of
honor and every good citizen must approve.
Considering the high station you now fill in our National
Councils, I have thought these explanations proper, as well
in counteract the chimerical tales which malevolent persons
have so industriously circulated, as to satisfy y< u THAT
YOU HAVE HOT ESPOUSED the cause of a man in any way
unfriendly to the laws, the government, or the interest of
bis country. ,
Respectfully,
Your obedient servant.
