E. Gorman. Sec’y. Jlacon, June 22. 1644. Attention! Immediately after the Muster to-day. the Dem esne Battalion, of Bibb county, will meet at the Court-House. Hurrah for Polk and Dallas-Tex- „ and Oregon, Allpersons in favorofthe Annexat.on ofTexas are invited to attend- , The SesMi. Notwithstanding the long drought of 8 or 9 weeks, extending from about the middle of March into jjav—the crops, in this neighborhood, now gen- ‘rjiiy present a promising appearance. The Wheat crop, (which has been harvested,) w jinot a heavy one, but the Floor that has been fought to market, is pronounced of superior qual ity—and will, it is believed, make a fair return to • l s Planter for the labor and capital invested. Since the rains srei in, the Corn and Vegetable crops have shot op almost miraculously. Vegeta bles, of every description, ore now plenty. We t,ive been presented with so many samples of Figs, Watermelons, Roasting Ears, Plums, Cherries, Applet, &c- &c., some of them of mammoth sizes, that it would betjoite impossible to enumerate one- half. Suffice it to say, we have never had finer presents of the sort, nor more of them, than the present summer. Melons, grapes, peaches, &c , from present appearances, will be abundant, in a week or two. The Oats crop lias turned out much better than tsuld have been expected a month ago. Spring Oars will be but n sorry crop, nevertheless. The Cotton crop, at the present time, is not over promising, owing to the heavy rains and cool nights oflate—it may come out, notwithstanding. It is nidtnbe tolerably forward, in some places. We should not be surprised to find n-i open boll on our uble by the 4th ol July—nor of having to chruaicle a new bale being brought to this market, by the lti of August. Accident by Iiighlnin|, The house occupied by Mr. Nixon M. Hancock, on Windsor Hill, near Macon, was struck by light ning, on Monday night, 17th instant, the chimney thiown down, and Mr. H. and his wife, who were sitting near the fire place, considerably injured— Vie latter so badly, that her life is despaired of—her clothes having beenseton fire, and her skin burnt to a crisp on several parts of her neck, breast, body, and legs. They were both knocked down—lie re mained insensible, it is supjtosed, some half nn boor, and was considerably injured in one of his hands. Mrs. H- did not come to her senses, until about noon the next day.

June 15th, 1844. At a respectable meeting of the citizens of Burts and the adjacent counties, convened this day, pur- aofftt toIrrevious notice; on motion, Major John Goodman was called to The Chair, and Col. John V. Berry and Thomas J. Saunders, Esq. were ap pointed Secretaries. The object of the meeting having been explain ed, Col. James H. Stark introduced the following Resolutions—which, aficr a few remarks in their favor by the mover, arid n spirited address from Dr.Tolcfree. were unanimously agreed to: Resolved, That we view, with pain and mortifi cation. the recent refusal <>f the United Stoles Sen ate to ratify the Treaty for the Re-annexation of Texas to the Union; nnd cannot regard the same in any other light than as a high handed contempt fur the best interests of our whole country, and as a gross and flagrant violation of the popular will. Resolved, That we appeal to thecitizens of Tex es. by tho ties of common kindred and common in terest, nnd urge them not to yield to n just resent ment, or turn their thoughts to an alliance with oth ers. But we beg them to believe that they have the sympathies and countenance of a large majori* tyofilre American Republic, who tire resolved that the pledge of the Treaty o/*1803, shall be redeemed, and Texas must and shall, at her desire, become a part of our Confederacy. Resolved, That the friends of Texas and Demo cracy feel gratified by the nomination of JAMES K. POLK for President, and GEO. M. DALLAS for Vice President of the United Slates; nnd we pledge ourselves to use every honorable means to secure their election. Resolved, That we approve of the proposition, made by oar friends from Jasper, for holding a Young Men’s Convention of tho friends of T* xos, •tthe Indian Spring; and wo suggest that the same be held at that place, on Thursday, the 25th of July next, instead of the 10th of that month, as orignally suggested—and, instead of being compo- pointed Delegates to said Convention, aud are ear nestly requested 10 attend. On motion of Dr. Saunders, Resolved, That Dr. Tolefrce be requested to fur nish, for publication, a copy of his address delivered before this meeting. Messrs. Stark, Collier, and Saunders, were ap pointed a Committee of invitation, under the 5th Resolution. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretaries, and published in the different Republican papers of the State. JOHN GOODMAN, Chairman. John V. Bf.rrt, ? 0 Thos. J. Saunders. \ Salaries. MACON. June 17th, 1644. GXXTLXMEN:—Your courteous note, of the 15th instant, requeuing s copy of the Speech delivered before the people of Crawford, on the subjert of the " immediate Annexation of Texaa." has been received. While I feel deeply grateful for the hind consideration extended to me oy yourselves, and the patriotic citizens of your county, I hope you will not nltribu e it to an improper spirit, when I respectfully decline complying with the re quest contained in your note. It is almost impossible to condense into a proper space for publication a speech, some what discursive in its character, extended in its range, and embracing, necessarily in its discussion, so great a varie ty of topics. But while I decline yonr request, suffer me to recommend to my fellow-citizens of Crawford, Mr. Walker’* able and luminous letter, Mr. Woodbury’s satisfactory exposition, Mr. Chappell's appeal to bis old Whig friends. Gov. Tronp's bold demon.-tration. and Dixon H. Lewis' conclusive argu ments in his address to his constituents—proving, ns they do, beyond ail cav.l, the absolute necessity of die immediate Annexation of Texas. And. if they should meet with it let them read Mr Clay's splendid vindication of South A- merican Independence, and ask him, why is it that be could bestow so much enthusissm, patriotism, and eloqu-nce upon the cause of a bigoted, mongrel, and catholic race—and cannot now, in this peculiar crisis of his history, cherish some sympathy for the young and Proteatant Republic of Texas ? Is Henry Clay less a patriot when a candidate for the Presidency, than when a member of the House of Rep resentatives f Or, as Statesmen grow old and ambitious, do their feelings and nobler impulses indurate, and all pas sion merge into the insatiable dejire of office and of power t Be it as it may, he has succeeded in arraying bis infatua ted follower* against their own brethren—the parent against its child, (for Texas sprung from the loins of this Republic^ and by the potent tvand of his enchantment, he has trans. formed many of the ardent sons of the South into servile man-wborshippers, ready to do any or every thing, whenev er he may choose to issue bis imperial rescripts. Do you call f*nr facts? I have beard respectable and influential Whigs avow, that they '• would rather see Texas stricken from the map of nations, than to see Mr. Clay defeated" ! I have known men, hitherto cold and cautious, proclaim, with the utmost vehemence, that they would support Mr. Clay, “ right or wrong”—tnus engrafting upon Whig principles, the celebrated maxim of the English Govern ment. that the -*• King can do no wrong.” But he is not in fallible. Preeminent in talent, his sacrifice of Texes, and of Southern institutions, to the federalism of Northern Whigs, and the fanaticism of Northern Abolitionists, proves that he is not preeminent in principle. Genius is the gift of Nature—Virtue the reflection of Divinity. The one may be perverted to the injury and ruin of our race—but the oth* er is as immutable as (iod.and it* end sanctifies the politi cal, as well as >he spiritual salvation of nations. Let. then, the American People when they seek to fill offices of high trust and power, prefer Virtue to Genius. For, while the sterling consistency and honest purpose of the former will adhere ttrictly to the true objecis of Government, the aber rations of the latter may result in the ruin of the country. Mr. Polk, the Republican Candidaie for the Presidency, unite* all the qualification* necessary to recommend him to the American People. Opposed to the Protective System, he will seek to relieve the South from the burdensome and oppressive exactions of the Tariff, and thua strike ont that odions feature in tbe federal politic* of the country, the creation and maintenance of a privileged class. In England, honors are conferred by the empty decoration of a •• blushing ribbon”—but the people are net taxed in aupport a pauper nobility But, in this enlightened Republic, tho’ letters patent are prohibited by tbe Constitution, Mr. Clay has devised means of establishing more formidable dislinc' linns of tank than that of noble and plebeian. The labor of the South must sustain itself, afford the revenue for the support of Government, and, at the same time, minister to tbe craving avarice of the Northern Capitalist. ]Ve are the poor—they art the rich. And so long as the trade of tbe South shall be fettered by the pro! ibitory measures of the Whig Party, and our people, by this indirect and insidi ous method of taxation, forced to contribute a large portion of the product of their labor to tbe support of the Aristocrat, ic Capitalist* of the North, we must remain poor. Biot out the protective system from the politics of the country, (for 'you Cannot find it in tbe Constitution.) and tbe South will once more re-assert its supremacy, regain its lost ground attain the full frnUion of its hopes, and march steadily on, ‘increasing in wealth, popnlatiin. end power. Mr. Polk is also an ardent advocate for the immediate An nexation of Texas. He. with other distinguished States men, considers it as a great American question, upon the anccesa of which depends not only the conservation of Southern institutions, but the perpetuity of this Republic.— And he comes ont with a bold, manly, patriotic expression of his sentiments, without disguise, and in tbe heartfelt lan guage oTa freeiftkn and a patriot. He dors not present him self, Janus faced, to the public, and leave bis own'friends in doubt as to bis position; but he looks Great Britain, Mexico, and the North dirret’y in the eye, and tells each and all of them, that our right to admit Texas into this Uni* on is indisputable. That it conflicts not with national law’ abrogates no treaty, nor coropromits onr national integrity. He has planted the banner ofthe lone star, by its kindred constellation, resolving that it shall never, with his conjent- melt back into the central sun of Mexican despotism, nor become a prey to British power and cupidity. Under that banner the whole South win rally. In all great emergencies, the people break through the ties and trammela of party, rouse themselves into independent and incontrolable action, and thus pass great measures over tbe heads of perverse and designing politicians. Tbe Earl of Aberdeen, the organ of the British Ministry, leaves us in no doubt as to the eventual course of that Gov eminent, in regard to the South and Texaa. In reply to the interrogatories of Lord Brougham, he deprecates the idea of Annexation, holds up the subject for deliberate cabinet consultation, ar.d teems to rely, with full confidence, upon ihe representatives of Engiith interests in the Senate of the United Slates, that they, by tbeir exertions, will prevent the sanction of the Treaty. He has not been deceived.— If ever England had a party in this country, confederated for the purpose of advancing her transatlantic influrnce.it is at this time. Has not Mr. Adams, that old and present friend of Mr. Clay, expressed his devout wist to aee both Cuba and Texas under British dominion? The ote com. mandibg the navigation of the Gnlph, and the other that of the Mississippi? And for what? To engraft England's power and institutions upon this country, and to array her leviathan strength in opposition to the slave system of the Pharisees, under the awful curse of the seven woes. Hear, people of the South, the sublime defence of your country and your institutions, by the Rev. George F. Pearce, as* with the fiery flood of his eloquence, he burled back the en venomed shafts of Northern hatred and fanaticism, rent the veil that concealed behind illhe hideous features of Moloch, and exposed to the broad glow of the sun, the fierce atroci ty of the pretended worshippers of the true God. Ten thousand times ten thousand plaudits to these Christian P at riots, who, with purity of heart, resoluteness of soul, and irresistible strength of argument, vindicated the South from the defilements of Northern Abolition. 'T*s « tribute well earned, and one to which every gen eroua heart, of whatever party or denomination, must re spond. Are we, then, sons of the South, identified by birth, by interest, and by every holy consideration that actuates and incites to action, to aubmit quietly to party shackles, and suffer ourselves, like so many Russian aerfs. to be trtnafer red to the highest bidder, by the leaders of a political party, the greedy expectants of executive patronage, and who. at Iaat, are hot so much attached to Mr. Clay, as they are to the offices and emoluments which he will have to distribute, provided they secure his election ? No! the South will not offer themselves up as voluntary victims at this sacrificial altar of party. The inevitable result of Mr. Clay’s election, wfll be a tri iimph over the Texas question; U will be an Abolition tri. umph; bonfires will shoot up on every green hill in New England! it will be an anti-American victory, and it will be announced to the world as such, amid the volumed thunders of the Engiith Navy! And lastly, it will be a triumph of the Holy Alliance over the Republican Principles of our Constitution, and will settle, forever, so far as it regards this question, the right of extending over this vast continent the circle and the influences of a Republican Government. To avert these disasters from our country, I believe, in the honest sincerity of my heart, that each true friend of his country, no matter how humble his position, should do all that be can do, to advance this great measure—and to ele rate to the Presidential Chair, that man who combines in himself, both the zeal, the abiiity.and the patriotism—unaw- ed by Eng.and. unterrified By the Annunciation of the Di vine right of Kings, and uninfluenced by the threats of a sanguinary tyrant, to effect the immediate Annexation of Texas, by receiving her back Into the bosoftt of Ihe parent country. I am, gentlemen, respectfully. Year fellow-citizen, 3. M. STRONG*. Messrs. Geo. R. Hunter, ) W. Sawyer, > Committee. G. J. Green, j COMMUNICATED. Count D’Orsat, in a late publication on "feti quette,” says: “ 't'bere is no belter lest o? a man’s claim to be considered “a gentleman," than a scrutiny of his conduct in money transactions. A man may pos sess rank and fashion, and, by an assumed frank ness of character, deceive the multitude; blit the moment his purse is invaded, if he be not of the true caste, he will display the most Contemptible meanness—he will taka advantage of the liberal— evade, by every miserable subterfuge, the claims of those he dares nol oppress, and unblushingly defy those unfortunate persons, whose poverty i3 likely to prevent the due assertion of their rights. Such a man may possess station in society—tie may be An “elegant”—he tfiay be a prince! but, if he be nol honest—he is ndt a gentleman. “ Gentility is neither in birth, manner, nor fasb ion—but in the Mind.

I have been lately struck with a contrived “‘subterfuge” of some people; in pass ing off dimes for twelve and a half cent pieces; and the art of putting a dime \Vjih a twelve and a half cent piece, and passing them for twenty-five cents, in order to gain lico and a half cents—with ah ex cusable preface, “ I have no other change"—is con temptible enough, in all nature, and a practice that, I hope, will soon be desisted from. Yours, Sec. W. H. D. A Tall P-lk Stalk. The Down Town Dent *cracy, on Friday last, completed the erection of a Liberty Pole, on Broad street, and within hail of the democratic Head Quarters, which ont-tops any thing of the aort ever attempted in Georgia. It towera its lofty head 189 feet in the air, and is surmounted by a cap. the enbletn of Liberty. In construction it resembles a ship’s matt, being rigged with Cross trees. 90 feet from the earth, where 90 men may sit and drink long life and health to Polk and Dallas, and success to their glorious cause. On this, is mounted a piece of ordnance, high enough to send its brazen echoes for many miles around the city. At 8 o’clock on Friday, the gun was fired, while the American Union with the ** Lone Star of Texas.” were run up to the truck, in token of the hearty response of the gallant Democracy of Muscogee, to the Baltimore Nominations. Mr John Everett and Caarles Prescott, of our city, have the credit of hiving planted, matured, and reared up this supe-b Polk Stalk, to its o ajestic height. The signs of the times indicate that the head of James K. Polk, of Ten nessee, will culminate in November, as high above that of Henry Clay, as our Polk Sulk dues above the Clay Poler'nn Oglethorpe street. Onr Union is perfect—and our cause is just.—Columbus Times, 19th insl. We publish in another column two articles from New York papers respecting the bill for reducing the duty on rail nnid iron. Georgia is deeply interested not ouly in the reduction of duties on imports as laid according to the tariff of 1843, bat especially in the redaction of the duty on rail road iron. Are those more immediately interested, as stockholders, in the completion of the Georgia Rail Road, awate of the amount uf duties they have to pay fur rail toad iron ? In onr of the articles it is stated that the tax is about $1,000 per mile. But by a calculation we have, made, the lax is nearly double the amnnni stale!, it is at least upwards of $1,500 per mile. So mat the stockholders of the Geor gia Rail Road, before tbe road iscumplcted to White Hall, wbeie tbe State Rail Road commences, will have had to disburse nearly one hundred thousand dollars fir duty alone on the iron purchased in England. Have we not suf ficient cause to complain of a high tariff? Had it not been fur this exhorbitant duty on rail rnad in n. a dividend could have been declared at the last annual meetiag of the Georgia Kail Road Company.—Constitutionalist. Prom the Savannah Georgian. Pennsylvania. Extract from a letter received by a gentleman in this city, dated “HARRISBURG. (Pa.) June 5. I have sojourned in this city, the capital of the State, for nearly a fortnight, and have heard but little said upon any subject, except politics. The Whig party are dumb-struck wiin the nominations of Polk and Dallas, and coniess that the State will return to her first love, and cast het vote by at least 85,000 majority for the nominees of the Democratic Conventiin. Muhlenberg, they say. will sweep tte Slate. This no one doubts. He it a gentleman of acknowledged ability—of German origin—and the most popular mat in the Slate. _ In pasting through Montgomery county, I was led by cu riosity, to attend a Whig meeting. On entering I discovered abont fifty persous only It was indeed a slim gathering for so populous a county, and particular’y so, when we recol lect it to be the residence of Jonathan Roberts, the late Whig Collector of the port of Pkiiade'phia. Hij popularity is gotta, and the Whig party in ill the adjoining counties, has dwindled to nothing, in comparison to what it was some few years ago. In addition to few teas of numbers at the meeting, there existed little enlnusiasm or interest in the great movements and principles of the party. It seemed as if a chili, a despondency, a want of concert, and the utter hopelessness of electing Mr. Clay, rested ominously over the scene. The Democrats in tfiia county will give Polk, Dallas and Muhlenberg from 600 to 1.000 majority. I waa a little surprised to find, that wherever I travel through this State, the universal cry is for Texas. Polk, Dallas and Muhlenberg. The Whigs say that Mr. Clay has kille t them and himself on the Texas question—that he has sacrificed himself and his party for the gratification of the Abolitionists of the East, and that there is uo prospect now of carrying Pennsylvania, by the Whigs. Even in this county. Dauphin, where the Whigs have occasionally obtained a victory, they feel defeated, and the Democrats feel assured that Muhlenberg will carry tbe State by 35 or 30.000 votes. Markle. the Whig candidate, although a popular man in tbe State, stands no chance of even a re spectable show of election. The Democrats are surprised that Clay should eveb have a respectable number of supporters in Georgia. They all ask what has become of tbe old State Rights Party, and want to know if the Whigs of Georgia have adopted the Whig principles of the East, with John Q. Adams, Tappan and the other Abolitionists tn boot They denounce Messrs. Berritn, Archer and the other Senators*who voted against Texas, as favoring British inteiests. and sacrificing the bc3t interests of the South at the shrine of private feefirig. Mr. Clay, it is said, has expressed his regret at hia Texas letter, and complaint that hia friends deceived him in relation to the popular feeling upon tbe subject. We have cheering news trom Georgia, and all Demn- ciats hope that nhe, as a Southern State, will be true to her ancient principles of Democracy. The North will do her duty. Let the South do hers, and the lone star of Texas will yet be added to the "bright constellation that floats over our Union." v , DR. J.

We notice with regret that the bill rep- rted by Mr. Ev ans to the senate to suspend for two years the extravagant duty »f $25 per tun on Rail Road iron, is delayed in its passage. Mr. Evans stated that the cost of all oar railways, com pleted and in use. ap to 1840, was about $100,000,000. That up to the present time tbe expenaiture on railways, alniovt entirely by private enterprise, was not less than $140,000 000. ‘ That the only oncouragemeut afforded in the production of this amount of American manufactures, waa $4,500,000 in die remission of duties: That a part of tbe above expenditure was to connect the Coal and Iron mines of Pennsylvania and Maryland with tbe seaboard, South, and the "progressive march of Republican Govern- ! whence was returned in locomotive cars, wheel*, apringa, . . r . 1 Slc.. in manufactured American iron, double tha value per meats. And nothing couffi so insure the success of her mile ofthe cost <)f the foreign iron: That the average cost policy, (and Mr. Adams knaw it.) than the poatestion of - - f . _ _ of our railwaj-a (single tract) was ab--.nt $30,000 per mile, of which about $2,500 per mile was for T and other forms oT imported edge rails : That we have no Works adapted to furnish this description of iron; and while the demand for other iron is greater than the means of supply, it is not those two great military -positions. As a further evidence of the true state rt feeling existing between the two great divisions of tbe Union, upon the snb- , - 6 I ject of Slavery and the Annexation of Texas; and as onu of for the interest •ed ora select few, we pro, wse that the masses ol ( bo rtemou, rigns that mark the coming ofa new era in I *»»■„, .. ... v /T . , 6 ,. r Mr. Evans contended that it came wiin an ill grace from the history of this Government; witness the proceed.ngs or | p enn , v j vanill and Maryland, to oppo.e other State, getting that important body of men, who composed the Methndis 1 1 their iron on as cheap terms as they themselves had done.
