THE MACON GEORGIA TELEGRAP U.
, he concludins paragraph of the Adihess, the
following s'ntcnce occurs:
** Democratic Party »*• adroitly endeavoring to dt-
' ^ •.TiT.UrnUon from their own gross mtsmanage-
, *» , **P rfltite Government, by attempting to raise uew
JJJeMP 0 * 1 nstiooal politics.”
v, n v. we say, emphatically, this is not so. Our
- <cnt comparatively sound and renovated curren-
^ and the new and invigorating impulse which it
[ ^goon give to all industrial and enterprizing
J "'wait*' afford proofs positive a id tangible, that
I ^ state Government lias been much better man-
f by the Democrats than by the Clayites, whose
M ’&h and aggrandizing policy has always been to
* the spigot for the people, and let out at the
bole for themselves. And, as to the Demo-
„ c y •• attempting to raise new issues upon na-
C , ia! politic*" a more romantic notion never en-
‘ [jrrdtho inventive brain of Mnj. Long-bow himself,
fl-hy, eveiy body knows, that the attempt to ihrot-
l|{ ,j,c Presidential veto—that the bold and reck-
| jess efforts which have been made, and arc still
! paling, to get the General Government to assume
| ,\, e debts of the States, and then lay heavy taxes
upon the people to pay those debts, with other
measures of a kindied character, have all Been rais-
td by the Clayites, and are even now, by many of
■heir faction, most industriously and untiringly ad-
* Toeated-
But, the wiseacres of the Address, have at last dia
pered that the eyes of the people are opening to
tlxeeruinousand unconstitutional measures, end the
Cl»yitc»have, therefore, been commanded by their
I prat niaster to let them and a high Protective Ta-
jleep, until he can get the power into hit hands
tDtnforcethem. Such is, virtually, the language
ofllenry Clay; and such is the policy recognized
ly hi* followers—hence dteir solicitude to throw
dust into the eyes of the people, that they may shut
out from their sight those highly impoitant measures,
which are so intimately interwoven with the wel
fare and safety of the Slate and their own individu-
,1 happiness and prosperity.
The Address deserves no farther notice at our
hands. As we said at the outset of this article, it is
a poor, weak, and unsupported thing—it deals al
together in “ assertions without prooi, declamation
without argument, and censure and abuse without
decency, dignity, or moderation.”
MUrcprescnlntious of the Clay Press.
Itis truly surprising how rapidly the rrosrepres-
dilations of the Clay press accumulate, as the time
Ibrour elections draw near—it takes almost half our
time to cortect them; and, after paving done so,
our adversaries very seldom have the candor or
fairness to remove the erroneous impression they
hate made upon the public mind, which seems to
Itad to the conclusion, that deception is the main
object of their policy. The last Georgia Journal,
speaking of the late elections in North Carolina
and Tennessee, says;
ItilcrrogniorirN, Jtc.
e had intended answering several interroga-
Jloniblc Death.
On Thursday last, says the Montreal Trans
tones propounded in the last Messenger; but want I cript, a laboring man narm-d Hughes, whilst
ol time has prevented our doing so. We will, I under the effects of drink, laid himself down in
however, attend to them in our next, and, at the ■ a limekiln in the Quebec Suburbs, and fell as
sume nine, catechise our neighbor a little on cer
tain points, which it will, no doubt, allord hitn
pleasure to notice.
Bibb Democratic Heeling'.
MACON, Aug. 26,1843
About two hundred of the Democratic Party of
Dibb County", met at the Court House, according
to previous notice, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Legislature. The meeting was
organized by calling Luke Ross, Esq. to the Chair,
and C. A. Ells, to act as Secretary. Maj. James
Smith then rose and stated ibe object of the meet
ing, and proposed that every person might submit
his favorite candidate, and flic then party should
proceed to ballot, for the requisite number out of
them, to represent our county in the next Legisla
ture—a majority of the whole being necessarv to a
choice—which was carried in the affirmative.
Ieep. Whilst in this situation, n quantity of
lime fell down upon-him, and horible to say,
consumed him—or at least burnt him in such
a dreadful manner as to render it d fficult to
recognise the being, man, in the loathsome re
mains left behind. This is another instance
of the awful results of intemperance—and we
trust it may be a warniogto all drunkards.
A Good Crop.
The Queen Anne’s, Md. Telescope of the
lGth inst. says—“ Our respected fellow-citizen,
William Carmichael, Esq. raised this year
upon twenty acres of land, one thousand and
twenty-six bushels of Mediterranean wheat, bes-
ing a fraction, belowfifth one and a half Lusf,-
elsto the acre, averaging sixty pounds to »he
bushel. This is very great yield, larger we
believe, than was ever.mide before on tin's
shore, and we question whether the State pin
beat it. This shews what good farming null
Col. A. P. Powers’ name was then submitted to j accomplish. «
the meeting, ns a candidate for the Senate, and he I “Tne land on which this wheat was raised,
was elected without opposition. J is not better wheat land than two tliirds
About twenty names were the nsubinitted to the j of this .country, but has been greatly improved
meeting for representatives; and on counting out j the use of marl and tnarsli mud.”
the ballots of the first election, it was found that
" The result of these two elections shows clearly that the
Whig party has the ascendency, largely, in each State
Thb mutt (adds the Jouanal.) be gratifying news to till
fnrr.tii of Mr. Clay all over the Union, and strike terror (11!
tithe hearts of his adversaries.”! Ill
Now, the very reverse of this is the truth. “ Al
though (says the Baltimore Republican,) we ho
ped fur better things in Tennessee, still we have
l*t nothing. The State wa9 Whig in 1840 and
13G. We have gained in the members ofCon-
gress, which shows that wherever National poli-
| tics—the principles which divide the two parties—
| are made the issue. Democracy is sure to triumph.
In the Congressional canvass, the line was distinct
ly drawn upon principles, and the Democrats elect
ed six out of<he eleven Congress men.”
In North Carolina too, where none other than
Congressional elections take place this year, we
lave completely turned the tables upon the Clay;-
lea. In the last Congress they had eight mem-
[ Bers to the Democratsfive—in the next Congress
tbe Democrats will have five and the Clayites
fw! This looks very much like “striking terror
to the hearts oP’ Henry Clay’s “adversaries”——
don't it?
In Illinois, we have succeeded in electing six
members to Congress, and the Clayites only one!
In the old Congress the Clayites had two, and the
Democrats but one. What a revolution!—More
“terror.”
In Indiana, the #* gain of the Democrats has
keen tremendous. The returns as they rome in,
alow that Governor Bigger is getting smaller and
mailer, and if he keeps on at the same rate, he’ll
be whittled down to the leetel eend of nothing. All
the returns are not yet ascertained, but the result
of the congressional canvass” shews that we have
obtained seven members to the Clayites three—in
the old Congress they had six to our one! Harri
ett's majority in 1840, was 13,698.—More “ ter
ror.’’
Etfen in old Kentuck, we have successfully
“bearded the lion in his den, the Douglas in his
hall.” This was the banner State which gave
Harrison in 1840, a larger majority than any oth-
cr State in the Union. In the last Congress we
h'. 1 out of thirteen members only two—we now
bride ilte Stole with the Clayites, and stand five
tolheir five. This looks very much like “striking
terror to our hearts”—don’t it, Mr. Georgia Jour-
oal!
Indeed, in every State from which we have re
vived returns, since the splendid triumph in Louis-
»na, the principles and the growth of Democracy
have accumulated to a surprising degree, and will
••ill go on conquering and to conquer, until Clay-
tom and its doctrines are utterly demolished, and
Stephen Woodward and Samuel J. Raj", had
received a majority of the whole, -and were declar
ed duly elected. They then proceeded to a second
election, which resulted in favorof W. F. Clatk.
On motion of C. E. Blake, Esq.,
A committee of five was then appointed, to in
form the nominees oftheir nomination, and to as
certain their willingness or unwillingness to accept
the same, viz: Peter Soloman, Frederick Sims,
Wm. II. Reynolds, John Baity, T. M. Furiow.
The meeting then adjourned.

whom he has nourished in his bosom! I f the Mes
senger was sincere in the course it has pursued,
why, sir, permit me to ask, has he alferded facili
ties to “ Paul” to traduce the State that nurtures
and protects him. and to villify the honest and in
dustrious yeomen who quietly cultivate her “Val
leys and her Mountains?” Is there within the
limits of Georgia, another public Journalist, who
would have thus dared to outrage public sentiment
and public feeling? Who would have thus open
ed its columns as a conduit for pouring out upon
the political character of the State, and the private
character of her citizens, the fetid streams of false
hood and slander ? No, sir, there is not, and thank
God for it!—The Messenger stands alone and un
supported in his unprecedented temerity and mon
strous depravity, and public opinion has already
pronounced his condemnation.
The Messenger, sir, affects a tone of style, cour
tesy, moderation, and dignity, with the shallow
view of diverting public attention from the fact of
his being parlieeps eriminis—but it will not avail
him—the mark of Cain is branded on bis forehead.
But let us, sir, examine for a moment, the pre
tensions of ihe Messenger to style, courtesy, mode
ration, and dignity. He first suffers the people of
Georgia, and the State in which be lives and fat
tens, to be shamelessly traduced through the me
dium of his paper, without a solitary word of rep
rehension, and then, forsooth, because his corres
pondent is chastised for his infamous presumption,
he, the Messenger, flies to the Cow-pen for a meta
phor, ami intimates that he is “ disposed to lock
horns" with tr.e. But, sir, it would appear, that
the Cow-pens are not alone the favorite resort of the
Messenger—for not long ago, in doing his “ devoirs,
to the best of his ability,” with his own sworn bro
ther, the Albany Courier, they both became so
courteous, so stylish, and so dignified, that they in
voked the aid of the goddess Cloacinca, who kindly'
condescended to let the doughty Knights use Iter
Temple for an Arena.

In recording the death of this excellent anan. who lias
been a true, brave, and generous soldier and a hero of the
American Revolution,and who had been cut down in the
eve of a green old age, we feel it to be a duty due not only
to his worth as a citizen, but as a revolutionary hero, to add
a tribute of feeling and rea|»ecifor his memory.
He was born in the Suite of Virginia', and county of Not
toway, whete he was raised and educated, endeared bv all
the social ties to bis companions; in youth lie enjoyed their
respect and confidence. * A a very youthful period, say 18
years o r age, he enlisted in tite cause of Liberty, to fight" the
battles of freedom, against the British Lion, and continued
in that service for something like 3 years, animated by the
principles of liberty, which burned itt his bosom and con

In the ever memorable struggles of Guilford Court House
and Eutaw Springs, when the height of the engagements
were at their warmest, the subject ol this obituary was
there, and stood firm amid the galling fire, the dead and
wounded which were strown^thick around him. In one of
these engagements, we think'under Gen. Green, at the bat

played coot calculating courage, unw.iveringpatriotisni and
an ardent devotion to the American flig—nor never was lie
known to falter in the path-way of duty, either public or

those principles even unto his death.

Mr. Editor:
If I am nol very much mistaken, the Messen
ger’s corrcsjtontlent “ C.” is the very veritable
Vampire himself, whom “A Native Georgian”
has recently so well described. It is really sur
prising to notice the pitiful shifts to which a defeat
ed adversary will resort for the purpose of giving
vent to his bad feelings. Does not “ C.” know,
that all men are hirelings, in a greater or lesser de
gree. The President of the U. S. is a hireling of
the people—the Lawyer is a hireling to his clients
—the Doctor to his patients—the Minister of the
Gospel, to his Church—and even the Editor and
proprietor of the Messenger is a hireling to his pat-
TO THE MERCHANTS OF MACON,
AND ALL OTHERS WHOM IT BAY CONCERN’S
R. NILES is carrying on the DYEING Business at
ItX my house, aud if meets with suitable encouragem«nt,
he intends to settle perrasnently among us. From the sln-rt
acquaintance I have had with him, l am induced to believe
he is an honest man, and a dyer of the very best order. Mr.
Niles served a regular apprenticeship to the dying business
in Prussia, and has followed the business exclusively, 16
years; so that there can be no doubt of bis being a compe
tent dyer, and it appears to tnu to be the interest of the coun
ty to retain such men among us. , I have no doubt but he
can dye goods just as well as it can"be doue any where.
