Private letters say, tluU David Crockett has been elected in opposition to the late representative, I Mr. Fitzgerald. sj Tlie Editors of the Georgia Constitution alist, Savannah Georgian; and Federal Fnion, seem to be excessively scandalised at the foreign interference in our domestic affairs, which they profess to discern in the State Rights Festival in Athens. They exhibit e laudable indignation at tlie professed interference of unr man, hat when the dozen, who constitute the Albany Regency, insolently dictated to Gov. Lumpkin, tlie course iie should pursue in regard to the Missionaries, these patriotic presses were unaccountably silent. Really, this is straining at a gnat, and swallowing s camel. With a vengeance. It would be a sub ject of much curiosity" to inquire, what powerful srt of transmutation has Same-sod those Edi tors so lovingly, to the same ear. Is it to ad vance the pretensions of Mr. Van Boren, whose pliant tools the Albany Regency are and always have been? Certainly, tlie matter wears a very suspicious appearance at present; but time will unfold their motive, though thpy may bes >me what unwiling to unmask themselves. As to the intimated interference at Athens, it exists only in the overheated fancies of these enthusiastic par tisans. Tito Fnsl- Tlie I'vesctst. I’, is peculiarly edifying to look back on the ro fords of the past. The astonishing facility, how ever, with which public men change their po'iti rai opinions, manifested as it is by a parsing ylancc at transactions of a few past years, strikes the mind with considerable forge, We have seen it asserted, that his Excellency never was a A nlllfi.tr Convinced, as wo have been, by the »»st abundant evidence afforded ns, that the ve ry doctrines now so eloquently reprobated by bis boisterous supporters, were once tlie cherished principles of his heart —That lie was once a Nul hfier: we have nevertheless been exceedingly amused at the attempt to wipe off from tlie fair escutcheon of his Excellency’s fame, the foul •Ugma of having once in his life adopted, and ad vocated— the Truth 1 His friends have hereto fore questioned tlie veracity of such statements, because forsooth, they came from the mouths of his enemies. H e are much gratified, that we can place beforo them tlie assertion of one of their oH 'n party, in relation to the mooted opinions of his Excellency. We do it, however, with a Indication, the very one suggested by the Bli ther of the following article, "That Mr. Lump, hin is a slippery fellow, that’s a fact!” Even tow be is quoted by his party as the advocate of Ratification : when but a few weeks ago, he pro nounced the system of Representation, proposed by the Convention, as unequal and unjust. How tsn he, the Governor of tlie State, advise his coti •’■Uuents to adopt an amendment to their Constitu ‘•on, which he declares to them is unequal and unjust 1 The very fact speaks volumes far his sincerity t jj'e have no hesitation in agreeing *>lh tlie Editor of the Columbus Democrat in •he views he has expressed in the annexed cx ,r sct from his ov,\x Patou 1 about two years ago . •Mr. Lumpkin has written a letter to t h'• 'duor of the Augusta Chronicle, in which lie declines being a candidate for Governor for J few reasons that may be stated thus: First ['J He has got otic office and wishes to keep and thinks a bird in the hand worth two in ijre bush. Secondly —To abandon that ol hce would not meet the approbation of some people —ami thirdly, lie lias become a convert tutiie Nullification doctrines, and wishes to *a>nvincc his old enemies of Ins sincerity by subserviency to their vines. Well, Mr. Lumpkin is a slippery follow, 'bat’s a fact. It is difficult keeping hint in "ue place long enough to find out his true *ulor. 1!,., bents all the men tie know of, •or liolduig out a ticw face to every new man " c mreti, Hut this is not the first time he GEORGIA TIMES, has betrayed his own party, with a~view ol courting the favor of his enemies. But trench erv is a bad craft to live by : it will brim, anv politician in a tight flare at last. ’ " Columbus Democrat. Inri'cnsc oil Ilurdeuv, 1 ae investigation of the effect of the projected amendment to the Constitution, in reference to I lae burdens it imposes upon the people we jiro j Posed to ourselves as tlie second branch of out I ;;r 2 umcnt ' opposition to the ratification of the j proceedings of the Convention. Fpon cxamin | mg this important feature in the mode by which I our government is to tie administered', our atten tion IS first called tn the appropriation of the pub .lC moneys, it has been abundantly proven that, by adopting the amendment of the Convention’ llio political power of tha State is vested in the handset the miuofity. J„ some cases it is the net under our present system of Representation. I lie act incorporating the Central Bank, was ae tn. -y passed in the Senate by the votes of the .-imaturs representing a minority of the people of i.ie State: and it was to remedy tbis political evil, that the Convention was assembled. We would not insult the- good sense of our readers by arguing tha established axiom of Republican Government, that each division of the .State should he represented in proportion to the number o' its inhabitants, and tha part it bears in its burdens. In other words that no system should ho adopted which will cntitlo one portion of the inhabitants, to a share in Legislation without <ie frayiag t’leir quota of its expense,and entail upon another portion the task of furnishing funds (o the State and depriving them of ail represeptatioq ia its councils. But such we arc compelled to admit will be ease if the proceedings of the Convention are ratified. Wo are prepared to prove this as sertion most conclusively. The County of Ap pling pays into the public treasury, say §IOO and will receive for the payment pftls members $Ol6, thus receiving in its favor sll6. lae county o< Chatham pays into the treasu ry §13,175,1)0 and, will receive lbr tlie pay incut ol ita iiiciiijicrj}- ciiily s7ll. .Now it it is just that the white population of Appling amount j injjr to I.UdT persons, should receive the sum of isll6, for their labor m electing ami sending members to the Legislature, certainly some bonus should also be given to the white population of Chatham amounting to fiutll persons, they ouMt by the same rule to receive 0.11,661, but the facts of the case exhibit a balance against thorn, and instead of receivings they ars compelled to pay $ 12,631,02,f0r the same privilege. Now if the county ol Appling besides these advantages is entitled to two Representatives' including a Senator the county of Chatham with four times its population and paying thirteen times the u mount of money into the treasury, by the same ratio should at least be entitled to eight R pre scntu'ivcs, inclmlinga Senator. 1 lie county ot Baker with a white population of fi77 persons, pays into the treasury sll-*, will receive as the pay of its numbers ISO, while the county of Gwinnett with a white population' of 10,731 persons,pays into the treasury $1,678,16 and will receive as the pay ofits members $713. If then a white population residing in Baker should not he hardened with the payment of liie expenses ot Legislation, we know of no reason why the white population of Gwinnett should pay $135, or the white population of Chatham should pay $ 12,000, and if two persons should bn paid to represent 11/7 persons in Baker, certainly twenty-one persons ought by the same rule to he paid for representing 10,721 persona in Gwinnett. •Since then 077 persons are represented in Baker, by twoqrcrsaiis it follows by the same ratio that 1019 persons only of the county of Gwinnett will be represented by the four members from that county —leaving 8,712 of the tax paying inhabi tants of Gwinnett unrepresented in tlie Legisla ture. The projected amondnnoiil will leave 574 persons more unrepresented, than are now unrep resented in that county. Is this no increase of hardens 1 in the county of Chatham, the three Representatives ineludingn f-'enatorallowed them by the ratio, will represent 1105 white inhabi tants leaving 3,533 of the tax payers of that county also unrepresented—making 171 persons more unrepr sented than are at present. Is this no increase of burdens 1 Wo have been considering the counties as ar ranged in their separate classes by the proposi tion of the Convention. Lotus now look at two counties in Ike same class ; Baldwin county has 3,12.3 white population, by the new plan is enti tled to one Representative, mid half a Senator pays into the public treasury $2,397 22, and will receive as the compensation for one Representa tive the paltry pittance of $132. The county of Randolph has 091 white population, is entitled to one Representative and half a Senator—pay? into the treasury sl3s 80 and will received $261 as the pay of one member. Now it will be perceived that the county ol'.Randolph, with its 091 white persons, pays nothing actually towards the ex penses of Legislation, but absolutely receives $132 20, while the county of Baldwin wi 'a four times the number of white population will be real lys2,2Cs 22, 'oat of pnekefi by the adoption of the Convention project! If 091 white persons are entitled to one -Representative, every edition of Cocker that we have been familiar with, will show that 3,123 persons ought to be entitled by the same ratio t ) four Representatives. In regard to Bald win therefore 2,132 ofits tax paying inhabitants, arc left by such a ratio totally unrepresented in the Lewisla'ure, 355 more than arc unrepresented by the present system. These are plain statements of facts, unincumbered with aught of sophistical delusions, and the same inequality of representa tion, the same injustice in the distribution ot the burdens of Government will he found lo exist as to the other counties. This i3 the plan proposed bv a Convention to remedy these very c,vi!s! it speaks rtifnmes for their wisdom, if it hears no tes timony to their corruption. Wo copy from tiro Cherokee Thant,r, the fol lowing statement, relative to our present Go vernor: l'uzoo Speculation.—We. have been somewhat indifferent to give credence to rumors that have l„ on current in this place, of the association ot Uovi rnor Lumpkin, with a company ol specula tors who have been engrossing on spoculation. tiw Cherokee lands, drawn for in (Ireland lottery of Georgia* Hal on a proper enquiry ol the sources from which this charge has omana.eil, it j ji sufficient authority for us to state, that our in credulity has to gt.o place to a correct loomia ion I fact— that his Lxcelleuey has been cn„a- AAT> STATE RIGHTS’ ged with a company for buy ing up Cherokee lands, it may be proper to know the manner in which his Excellency has been acting.

But so soon ns one of his company bar gained I r tip; same lot, the seal ami grant of the Commander ot the Georgia Navv was immediately delivered. It be presum ed that serif money from Uncle Sam, is the os tensiide object; and it is on the other hand, painful to see the President of the U, States using such tools ns Gov’r Lumpkin, to distress the (Jhero i o this, the Idcral l .don of the last week has responded in the annexed extract from their i columns: .SLANDERS AGAINST THE GOA ERNOR.

We do not attach any blame to the Editors, however, for their indignant contradiction ofhis Excellen cy’s participation in So infamous a transaction; in the honesty and sincerity of their own hearts, they could not have believed any friend guilty of such an unworthy act, much less one who had been assisted to his present elevated station by • theinoivn instrumentality. But if the Governor has authorised the Editors.of the Federal Union to deny for him the imputation fforn the I’hoonix, we presume it only' adds another to the long cat alogue cf instances, where his Excellency has exhibited an utter recklessness of the manner in which he has deceived his friends and brought them to shame. It really appears soriiowhat ex traordinary, when a charge of such magnitude is alleged against so exalted a functionary of Stale, as the “ Supiriiiiciidant of a Mighty Workshop," that ho should permit it to pass unquestioned an 1 tfiidelffcJ, Until his Excellency then, shall offer some hotter evidence of its “ ici’fulf.iUtkuocl," than the bare contradiction of the Federal Union, we must ha'content to believe that, the statement of the Pftamix has not been disproved.
