Don’t Fret.
This is a world of ups and downs, of crosses
and contradictions. Every day turns up some
thing to disturb the oquanimity of one’s temper.
But it is worse than useless Io fret. Fretting
is like caustic applied to a sore. It infl lines,
but never cures. A fretful spirit is never happy,
and it drives happiness from nil oilier spirit with
which it comes in contact. We say, then if the

it afford the remotest possibility of interfering with that de
sirable object.
The morbid sensibility manifested hy the friends of Mr.
Clay, is not less a^toai-hing than humiliating to ihe candid
and patriotic. But however fearful a majority o! his friends
may be of broaching questions of vital im ( *»ortance to the
South, rhere are otber.H in Georgia who expect to vote for
him, who yet believe that there are certain principles to ad
vance, and right* to defend, peculiarly appertaining to
Georgia and the south generally, that even the election of
Mr. Clay cannot obviate. They have yet to feel that all-
pervading and expansive patriotism which can exalt the
human mind an far above the reach of sectional prejudice
and interest, that it allies itself with objects distaut aud re
mote, rather than with things present ot near. That causes
a man to neglect bis own household, forget bis native land,
and in distant regions seek to promote interests suicidal tc
his own nndtbnae dependent upon him. Of this kind of
patriotism, I profess not to feel one spark, in que ti«»na of
life and death between the north and south. Its questions
of general interest not effecting our own peculiar rights, I
too, may feel a patriotism that would embrace all parts of
our country. Farther than this, I never have gone, and
trust I never shall go. Our big hearted men who find
room for the north, the east, and the west, have, I find, but
the smallest corner left for the south.
It seems, that in your anxiety to carry Georcixfor Mr.
Clay. you have entirely overlooked the importance—I might
almost say. the necessity of Texas to the existence of the
south. I observe, you say, when the time for action arrives,
there will be efficient action. Now pray, when do you
think it probable, in your estimation, or rather, in that of the
National Intelligencer, it will arrive ? As 1 find, you also

WASHINGTON, April 14.
The grind spectacle nf the destruction of a ship of fire
hundred tons, by the Sub-marine Battery, was ••xhibited
last evening, in the Potomac, in the presence of at least fif
teen or twenty thousand people, who thronged both shores.
At the hour appointed, a ralute was fired from the Navy
Yard, in compliment to tire* officers of the Government, itc.
Presently afterwards. Mr. Colt sei.t up from the centre tbe
river, a magnificent water spool, or jet, which was the signal
for the commencement of the experiments.
Lieuu Boyle then got the ship under way, with all her
colors fil ing and sails set. He then went through the cere
mony ot christening her, and gave the appropriate name of
u The Styx." Afier she had sailed some distance.aod was
steady in her course up the river, and her helm Issued, she ce **
was abandoned, and a rocket was sent up oy Lieut. Boyle,
to notify Mr. Colt that lie might commence the action. Ti e
ship wns going with the wind and tide, at the rate of about
six mile.* an hour. Mr. Colt firs: discharged a heavy battery
at some distance almad of the ship, and then two more, si-
imilunenusly. at a distance near enough to her to agitate
her somewhat. This was done to show that the batteries
roiAd be exploded separate y or together, and that in a riv
er or harbor, a friendly ship would be exempted from the
destruction, while a hostile ship could be blown up re-y
near her. Soon afier the water w«» seen swelling under the
bow of the ship, and she was hurled, with tremendous force
into the air. For sometime, nothing wns distinguishable,
but when the vapor hid cleared away it wns seen tint the

Professor Mane's electro magnetic telegraph will be

much more. Th* despatches sent by this machinery are

such that there can be no cavil upon the details. 1^ is sur

' postponement of the bill introduced by Mr. McDuffie to re-
1 dace the rote of duties under the present tariff to the stand-

j had. by a course of special pleading, endeavored lo conceal
the «d*je t of hi* speech, (which was to advance the tnmre»U

making a capital argument iu favor ol a b g!» protective tariff*.
Mr. Colquitt adverted to the former speeches vf his cob |
league upon this subject, showing that he ha.I turned traitor
to bis previously expr ssed opinions nn the protective poli
cy, and hid abandoned the poricy of Georgia and the whole

An election was held in New Orleans on the 1st Inst.
for a Mayor, three Recorders, twelve members of the gen
eral council, and thirty -one aldermen. The Democrat* e-
lecied their candidate for Mayor (E. Momegut) by 204
votes; two of three recorders; eight of the twelve members
of the general c.-unci ; and sixteen of the thi»ty-one abler-
ould have **swept
ted out to them.
'1 ite Wh gs bad die appointing of the judges of the elec-
tioits.auJ they appointed all W higs, instead of one *»f each
jiartv aliermusly. These Whig judges rejected five hun•
xirrd and *t.v/y democratic votes—five hundred aud ten
iu the second municipally, and fifty in the first aud »-econTl
municipalities. Tbtse votes, it is believed, were sufficient
to elect every democratic] candidate.
Las’year the Whigs elected their ct. ml id ate fo«- Mayor,
(Mr. Freret. ran by them again nt this e ection.) two ot the
riiree recorders; ten ot tlie twelve members of the general
counci!; aud twenty-live of the thirty-one aldermen. At the
last Presidential election, the Whig majority in the city of
New Orleans, was 0,33; and at the July election preceding
the Presidential election, the Whigs succeeded in the city
by eleven hundred and odd majority. At this election, if
the naturalized citizens had been permute 1 to vote, the dem
ocratic majority in the city would have exceeded seven
hundred. Be it remeinbeted. that the foreigners who were
refu-ed a vote on the first instant, were naturalized by a
Whig Judge; ami a large, if not the larger portion of them,
a.* has been proved before the State Legislature, were nat-
u*a ized by an officer of the ••Cloy Clun,” • under the in-
sir.n tion* and nt the expen? e of the Clay Club" These
men ail voted about a month ago at New Orleans. The
Whigs made no objection to their votes until after t! e elec
tion, when they fbowghr the polls showed that a majority of
them voted the democratic ticket.

In another part of our paper, will lie fiiuml, she
leiier of Mr. Flournoy, of Washington eountv, on
the Annexation of Texas, whirh we copv from the

an n'tentive perusal.
Mr. Flournoy has always been regarded hy the

man. The object of his letter, is evidently to lend
his influence in arresting the di8|iositinn of hi par
ty, loan overt hosiiliiv to the Annexation of Texas,
or what amounts io about the same thing, their in
tention of deferring the settlement of it, until after
the election.
Mr. Flournoy’s view of the subject, is the cor
rect one. The Annexation is a subject of vital im-

Under the impression that the Government was

from customs, had suffered from the late revuis'on,

himself instructed to vote for the Tariff of 1828.—-
That Mr Van Boren voted for that bill, under the
instructions of h's constituents. Is a matter of history,
and the fact of his having delivered a speech a-
gainstit, tests on equal authority. But the proof
of liis Itaving procured those instructions, rests onlv
on the assertion of the Messenger, so far.
In our last number, we demanded of the Messen

Of their reirenchmcnt, we shall take occasion to

only totheii meihndjof husbanding the resources ol

and discharge its enormous debt, which they be
lieved existed. How did they go to work to effect
this? One of their fir^t acts, was to give away one
of the most sure incomes of Government—namely:
t'.:e proceeds of the Lands. Would ail individual
