; * THE MACON GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. From the Tallahassee Star—Extra. Sept. I9ih, \S43 Severe Storm. We were visited on Wednesday nigbt last with one of those terrible and destructive Storms which so often spread ruin and dismay tiling the coast, about this season of the year. There lial been a sligjpsquall on Wednesday, about 12 o’clock, M., much rain foil during the space of an hour, and the wind was high at S E., or thereabouts. The weather continued threatening, during the remainder of the day and the portents of an equinoctial gale wereev ident. S ion after sun down, the winds and the rain came on in earnest, and continued all tho night, with a degree of severity, which as we are assured by that responsible and respec table individual, the “ oldest inhabitant,” has never been surpassed within his recollection The course of t*re wind, when it first set in, ac cording to the apprehension of some, was near S. E., others think more Easterly, or to the North of E »st. It increased in severity, as it gradually wore round northwardly, until near day light, when it was blowing a tremendous gale from the northwest. The injury sustained by buildings in Talla hassee, is not great. The slate roof and gable end of one brick house recently erected, and not quite complete, was slightly injured, sever al kitchens and outhouses, and chimneys, were overthrjwn. The damage sustained in goods in the temporary wooden buildings put up since the fire, was more considerable. As the roads ; n almost every direction are blocked up by fallen trees, or obstructed by the removal of bridges, we have had little inter course with our neighbors since the Storm.— Plantations, it is apprehended have suffered ex tensively. Reports of the destruction at Port Leon and St. Marks, are alarming, though we trust ex- agemted. It is said that the Rail Road bridge over the St. Marks river, near Port Leon, has been swept away, and that every warehouse in that town, except one, that of Hamlin & Snell, has been torn down by the winds and tides. St. Marks it is said, was under water, We trust the reality will not come up to the re ports. The Rail Rond Cars left the depot for Port Leon on yesterday morning, but had not returned when our paper went to press. Since the above remarks from the Star of yesterday were penned, we have received au thentic iuformution from below, which more than confirms, tho most distressing reports which had reached us. We copy the follow ing from an Extra from the office of the Port Leon Gazette': TrcmcBdoni Storm—Horrible Lass of I,ife ud JPropeity—Destruction of Port X.con, St. Harks, amt the .Light noatc. Commercial Gazette Office, ? Tort Leon, Friday, Sept. 15,1843. J Our city is in Ruins! We have been visi ted by one of the most horrible storms that it ever before devolved upon us to chronicle. On Wednesday about 11 o’clock A. M. the wind commenced blowing fresh from the South East, bringing up a high tide, but nothing alarming, 5 P. M. the wind lulled and tide fell, tho weather still continuing lowery. At 11 at night, the wind freshened, and tide commenced flowing, and by 12 o'clock it blew a perfect hurricane, and the whole town inundated.— The galo continued with unabated violence un til 2 o’clock, the water making a perfect breach ten feet deep over our town. The wind sud denly lulled for a few minutes, and then came from South West with redoubled violence and blew till day-light. Every ware-house in the town was laid flat with (he ground, except one, Messrs. Hamlin & Snell’s, and a part of that also fell. Nearly every dwelling was thrown from its foundation, and many of them crushed to atoms. The loss of property is immense. Every inhabitant participating in the loss more or less. None have escaped—many with only the clothes they stand in. St. Marks suffered in tho like proportion with ourselves. But, our losses are nothing in comparison with that at the Light House. Every building but the Light House gone. And dreadful to relate, FOURTEEN LIVES LOST, and among them some of our most valued citizens. We cannot attempt to estimate the loss of each in dividual at this time, but shall reserve it until our feelings will better enable us to investigate it. We give below a list of those drowned, so far as heard from. -AT PORT LEON. A crazy negro boy belonging to Tallahassee. AT THE LIGHT HOUSE. Capt. M.* C. Robei tson his wife and three children, and a child of Dr. Tradewell’s. Mr. Joseph Wood, a portrait paiuter from Tallahassee. A child of R. V. Buffins, and five negroes. Tltoso saved are Capt. Hungerford his wife and two children, Dr. Tradewell’s voungest child, Messrs. Oglesbee, Blcthen and Kennedy, Pilots, and five negroes. Our citizens are now out, looking for any tint may have escaped, and bring the Bodies of those that may be found. Such a total de struction of property, never has occurred in our place. Our Joss is estimated at $250,000, In addition to the above, we have learned that the family of Mr. Edward Walker, living on Shell Point, wife, children and five or six negroes, all perished. Mr. Walker himself es caped by clinging to the branches of a tree, till the waters subsided. It is also stated that there are several other persons living nt this point, and who have not been heard from, and of whose safety, great doubts arc entertained. There are also several families from llrs county, in summer quarters on James’Island, on whose account much anxiety is felt. In deed such was the violence of tho winds at the height tn which the tide rose, that ourimagina tions can scarcely fix limits to its ravages. Cedar Keys, Apalachicola, St. Joseph, can scarcely have escaped without much damage o’clock, P. M. it reached the Catholic Chapel at the upper end of the Parade, and reduced that to a lieap of ruins in a very short time. About that time the wind changed to the North and the course of the fir^was altered, and be^ gan to return to the lower end of the town, ta king a new a path, however. About midnight it reached within a few houses of ours, on the opposite side of the street. The magistrates then ordered the houses over the way to be blown up, in order to save Port Royal street but it was found impossible to blow them up. as all the powder in the city had been used in the course of the day, to bomburd the other build ings, and it was only with the assistance of the soldiers, and sailors of the ships of war that they were pulled downl The fire then abated somewhat, and was extinguished nt about o’clock on the evening of the 27th. I send you a newspaper, by which you will see the almost incredible number of blocks and buildings de stroyed. The engines were all broken. The negroeB would not save any thing, except the Baptist and Methodist chapels. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I went on the Parade and found it covered with a mass of furniture—the ne groes all standing in the streets and upon the Parade, talking, laughing and joking—some crying anu others stopified. The sailors and soldiers were tearing down on one side of the Parade, throwing out the furniture and tryin uselessly to stay the progress of the flames, There were bells ringing, drums beating, bombs and cannon firing at the houses, women and children screaming, and the whole present-d scene of distress, terror and confusion, which defies description. The destruction of proper ty was enormous. I saw splendid pianos thrown from the balconies and dashed into thousand pieces. In returning from a walk in the suburbs at 6 o’clock on the evening of the 27th, I found some streets actually on fire and no one stirring near them—the houses deserted and the people congregated about the principal scenes of devastation. The ruin is dreadful 1 am so agitated and hurried that I can write t;o more.” The Kingston Journal of the 1st inst. entreats the citizens of Kingston not to give way to their fears of outrages on the part of the idle and diabolically minded men who are to be found in that city. He admits that the plunder of property during the fire, was immense, but at tempts to console his readers witlt the consider ation, that pait of the plunder had been recov ered. He says he cannot venture to assert there is no danger, (of a general rise and sack we presume,) but thinks it imprudent to shew their fears. Tho Editor of the Jamaica Despatch declares that, had it not been for the municipal guard, the city, in addition to the horrors of conflagration would have become the theatre of rapine and desolation. The fiie extended over 25 squares, and destroyed more than 500 houses, besides out-buildings. The loss may be estimated at S3,000,000 oi $4,000,000. From the Mete Orleans Republican. Disastrous Conflagration at Kingston We are indebted to a friend for having in the kindest manner loaned us a letter received by him from Kingston. Jamaica, and which gives the following graphic account of the terri ble calamity which lias befollen that city. The letter bears date of tho 3d inst: “ The whole city is in groat distress—there are about five thousand persons without n roof over their h< ads. An awfui conflagration broke out on the 26ib, at 4 o’clock in tho morning, at the East end of Kingston, when the sea breeze blew a perfect hurricane, and raged with fury throughout the day, defying all attempts to ex tinguish it. The flam88 and smoke were to be •eon at a distance of aixty miles from Kingston, Jo the country, and far at sea. At about 6 Louisville, Ga., Sept. 9,1843. Dear Sir:—1 have this moment received yours of the 4th instant, informing me of my nomination as the Democratic candidate to fill the vacancy in our congressional delegation occasioned by the resignation of Col. John B Lantar. To meihe intelligence is both pleas ant and painful—pleasant, because evincive of the high confidence reposed in my fidelity to Democratic principles, and of the unmerited estimate placed by my political associates, up on my poor abilities—painful, because, to be elected would operate serious injury to my pri vate interests, and would throw upon me pub- fic duties and responsibilities, which I could not hope to discharge and redeem, either with credit to myself, or honor to my country. The time to intervene between this and the gener nl election in October, is too short for the com. mittee to make another nomination, were I to decline. I therefore accept, though I should have greatly prefered, that the distinguished honor, should have been conferred upon anoth er. I should be pleased to mingle extensively with the people, not to play the part of the itin erant demagogue ; but, that 1 might become personally known to them, and iudulge freely in the expression and interchange of senti ments, upon the great questions which now ag itate the country. But the shortness of the time and other pressing engagements, render it impracticable. I must therefore content my self, by assuring my democratic fellow-citizens, every where, that I am thoroughly identified with them in all the great principles, which compose the political school to which we are attached, and which boasts os its founder the illustrious Jefferson:—that I cordially unite with them in deprecating the leading measures of the federal whig party, as disclosed by their conduct in the sessions of the last Congress. I deprecate them as founded in error of princi ple—as violative of the Constitution of the Uni ted States, and as ruinous in their tendency, to the best interests and highest happiness of the American people. And judging from the re cent elections in several States, it would seem that I am not singular in this opinion. They speak a voice which is any thing hut flatiering to the prospects of Henry Clay—that constant and persevering ttaducer of Georgia, the fa ther of the protective policy, which is but anoth er name for southern oppression, the champion of a National Bank, which is the synonym of all that is loathsome in fraud and detestable in political corruption, and the originator of the measure for the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, with the view, first, to bribe the people into the support of his claims to the Presidency, then to diminish the revenue in order to create the pretext for high duties on imports, and finally, to bring about as a crowning result, an assumption oft be debts of the States by the General Government. I love to battle in the ranks of democracy, against gia is surpassed by no star that bestuds our glorious national banner. My thanks to the committee who have thus honored me, and my grateful acknowledge ments to you for the kind manner in which you have communicated the bestowal. In haste, your obedient and humble servant. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Mr. P. C. Guieu, Chairman. &c. DEMOCRACY. throw in a blank vote, or not vote at all—for, it is at once seen, that one vote neutralizes the other. No one, possessing independence enough to enti tle him to a vote, will in times of parly excitement, throw in a split ticket. A split ticket! faugh. The practice, we have heard said, originated with the Cow-boys nf the Revolution—who were eith er Whigs or Tories, as suited their convenience. But perhaps you have some friend on your tick et, that you would prefer to see elected to all the rest—and hence, are willing to enter into a bar gain and sale with the opposite party, for the sake of effecting that object! that is, you, though Democrat, agree to vote, and to urge others to vote, for the whole of their ticket, except one, pro vided somebody on that side, will promise, (for it peUIom amounts to any thing else,) to vote for one name on your ticket. We know this is often done, and we have heard it justified, sometimes on the pica of friendship or consanguinity—at other times, an alleged superiority in qualifications—or perhaps, to save a bell But whatever the motive may be. the practice is morally and politically wrong.

Awaken! from the false security, into which you have lulled yourselves! Your adversaries are active, vigilant, and unti ring, conscious that their cause is bad, and can do j candidate. This practice is worse if, possible, than the other. It is a strong suspicion that those who resoit to it, have been bribed, by favors given or promised, so to act. It shows very clearly, they care nothing for principle, but every tiling for themselves. We should very much doubt the patriotism of any man who owed his election to the single shots of his friends and dependents—and we should also incline to the opinion, that no high minded honorable man. would take a seat to which be might be elected by such mean3 Brother Democrats!

Besides the persons who have already left “ the P rPS: tents of the wicked,” there are yet many who re main in name, but are not witlt them in feeling. There are many virtuous, intelligent men, who yet endure the name of Whig, who see with sor row the tendency of their party, and disapprove its purposes; but from a blended feeling of r^ret, in leaving their old associates of past years, ami a fear of that ancient and time-worn stereotype of “ Rene gade" so profusely applied on such occasions, they yet suffer themselves to be called Whigs. But they are not Whigs at heart, and although they may think “ the hour has not come,” for them to proclaim themselves Democrats; yet they will not do violence to their feelings and principles, in voting for the minions of Clay and Protection.— They will either remain at home, passive, or going to the polls, they will vote only for personal friends among the Whig candidates. This is not idle conjecture. Almost every man knows, in the range of his own acquaintance, Whigs Who are sick and disgusted with the duplicity and tergiversations of their party—some express it can didly, others make it known in hints and indirect expressions. A slight knowledge of the operations of the human mind, under the conviction of truth, and in the absence of the immediate excitement of personal interest, will prove its correctness. And the election returns after Monday, from strong Whig counties, will shew a falling from their usual vote, that will prove that we have not erred.

Constitution, the watch-word and reply." Louisiana. The people of this State, we perceive, ate about holding a Convention, for the purpose of amending or remodelling their present Constitution, to adopt it more to the enlightened spirit of the age, and more conformable to the progress of civil liberty and free discussion in other parts of the Union. Among other candidates, whose names we have seen announced in the Louisiana papers for seats in this important Convention, we notice with pleasure, that of Dr. Epward Delont, of East Feliciana, formerly of Georgia. We have long been acquain ted with Dr. D., and can bear testimony to his high moral character and sterling worth. If the few years since he left us, has wrought no change in his feelings and principles, we congratulate the citizens of East Feliciana in having so estimable a citizen, and so skilful a physician among them. In Georgia, Dr. Delony was attached to the Jefferso nian State Rights Democratic doctrines—and was no weak advocate in their cause.

Ever and anon, we see in one or more of the Whig presses of Georgia, the vote of Judge Wayne paraded as evidence that he favored the Tariff of 1832.” It is true, that at the first session of the 22d Congress, of which Judge Wayne was a member, that he voted for the Tarifl'Bill of 1832. But how was this vote, given in com pany with the virtuous patriot, Wiliian Drayton, of S. C., with Messrs Blair and Mitchell of the same State, receiv ed by his fellow citizens of Geotgia ?
