E.v icf of a letter /rout a gentleman in
Jl : uny, 1c his friend in Charleston
elated -dug, 4* •; (
»*1' th-nced by a desire -of witnessing a
specimen of northern legislation* I reso’.v
ed m vis*» this place, and arrived here yps
tenlky; 'The Legislature you qre aware
arc now in session under ihe call of the
lvi cutive. tn take the electoral law into
c ..id/ration. The senate, by a vote of
27 to 4, have determined that t|iere was no
necessity to convene them, and have pass
ed resolutions censuring' the Governor—
the same were sent to, and are now before
tv. Lower House. The discussion will be
fenewed to day. The House may not a
<rree to the vote of censure, but will anques
tiooablv otherwise concur with the Senate.
The nmjo ity isdecidedly in favor of Craw
f, r l—Itii advocates in both branched of the
L "islature have become much more nume
runs; and no doubt exists as to his obtain
fog the vote of New York.
“There arc great men here from every
p ,t qf the union, as well as many distin
g. -i Vd foreigners, among whom are three
members of the Bitjsh Parliament, who
seem much pleaded with the order and de
cm um of our legislative body.
r*It appears from the news here, that
Peni,-vlvania is terribly convulsed, and
that a strung party have sprung up oppos
ed to the election of Jackson.”
Another letter from Albany of the 5th
inst. to the editor of the New York Evening
Post, say*:—“The House of Assembly ha
refused to adjourn. The vote watt taken
last evening at about seven o'clock after

Rarely has tne titune ot uny gentlemai.,
been so intiuspieiously announced to th
people nf this Slate as a candidate for thei
sull’uge9, as have tlio«e of Major Men *
wether, of Clark, and Judge Longstreet, ol
Greene. In the Republican of the 12th
tnst. was published a Ic.tvr addressed to
the editor of (hit paper, dated Madison
Springs, Slli Aug. 1824, from which is made
(he folio wing extract.
«« Mi Cobb has signified that he will not
be a candidate fur Congress at the ensuing
election. There is however no danger
that the vacancy which will be occasioned
bv ttiL circumstanre will remain unfilled,
as Major.M<*rriwether of Clark, and Judge
LongMreiit nf Gceu County, very prompt
ly have tendered their services for the dis
charge of «hc <1 title*, nf the appointment.—
WV live in ahappy country* where the high
est offices in lhegiflofthe people arc always
so readily filled, notwithstanding the ardu
uus duties appertaining to (hem are *o bur-
thensome to the incumbents. In f»c» it is
apprehended that there are noi quite ufiices
enough in Georgia, to satisfy those who are
witling to t.ik^ them ; And that there may
be some disturbance in the wigwam on that
account.”
With the motives of this writer, I have
nothing to do, and it is by no means proba
ble that he will divulge them. The max
im, “do mortuis non nisi booum,* may 6"
applied politically as well ns physically. It
is much roofe certain, however, that the
shades of defunct politicians revisit the
scenes of their former achievements than
that the ghost* of dead men rise up and
*‘clb'»w us from our seats.” In every age
there has been some incantation, some spell,
by which to lay the wandering spirit of a
departed being; but there is no requiem
that a vailetli ought with the troublcd,fiiuiog
shadow of the bj-e-gone politician.
So unprovoked do I deem this attack up
on Merriwether and Longstreet, that corn
mon justice seems to require a passing no
tice of it and of them.

J} good hit,—A- writer in the Cbar>eaton
Courier asks the following questions of the
editor of the Mercury s
Will Mr Pinckney say, whether he did
at the last session of the Legislature/^
this State, oppose n motion made by Gen’
Gi.ascock to give the Election of Pt-esi
devt'anti Vice President, to the People?
Jf he did, will he state why lie now appears
so violent asrainst the Members of the New
Tis k Legislature.. Wlm are only pursuing a
dictated by himself?
Major Merriwelher, has been ad.yanta
geously known to the people of this state,
for the laM fifteen years in which time he
has discharged various and ordoous public
duties, both in defence of his country ami
in the councils) of the state; and always
with credit tn himself, and the approbation
of bis fellow citizens. Intelligent, firm,
modest and independent, ho has constantly
grown upon the Affections and confidence
of the public. Brave, chivalric and hnn-
otable, his political course has been frank,
liberal and dignified. Possessing great
worth of character* and superior: powers of
mind, his manners are as plain and unos
tentatious, as his judgement is clear and
lucid. Duly sensible of the legitimate
objects of. public services he has in the
discharge of his ..official duties, considered
the public good paramount to individual
political aggrandiz merit. His political
principles have been uniformly toe same.
He 19 a Republican—not from a love of
offive, fur that he has never sought, but be
cause, be loves the piunuiples upon
WHICH REPUBLICANISM 18 POUNDED. He
is now before the people of Georgia, for a
seat in Congress,not as is erroneously state
ed at his own instigation,but at the instance
of a large number of the most respectably
and virtuous men in Georgia,- >{ ; .
Of Judge Longstreet, less is known, be
cause lie has been less in public life, A
younger man than Merriwether, he has of
course had fewer opportunities of being
known. In his lub'ic stations, he has how
ever, acquitted himself in a manner highly
creditable. Hi* powers as a public spea
fcer are acknowledged to be superior. The
manner in which he acquitted himself in
an argument before the Circuit Court the
last winter, in this place; drew from Judge
Johnson a high and well merited ejfcoh/
iutm—There can be no doubt if this talent
should (as it assnredly will) be assiduously
cultivated, that it will yield to; him a rich
and lasting lame/ Longstreet is also a
republican and is certainly wejl calculated
to render efficient services in the National
Legislature. He too has become a candid
ate for Congress at the instigation of bjs
friends. V r
FIAT JUSTlCl^B
The late Piraces <$“c.—Some of the pa
pers, we observe, arc blaming Comm rltire
Porter; and the other officers on the West
India Station, for allowing of the-recent
piracies in that quarto/a d even go ho far
as to impute the piracies to tbeir want o r
due activity. If we understand the fact!
correctly, this is very harsh and unjust
treatment.,‘Tne one or two piracies «»f which
>ve have lately heard* being all that Itavx
taken place tor months, have taken place
within the mouths of rivers, where the mis-
neurits, watching their oportU iity of ves-
ael’s being becalmed,or nenrly so,push out
from Rhore in small row boats, complete
their nefarious enterprises, and return with
their booty, without the possibility' of any
United State** vessel seeing them, they
making good care to keep snug while the nr
rned Vessels ar£ in their neighborhood. I
is as impossible fur qur vessels tn deter*
the offenders as to p- event the crime t ’hev
retire to the country after the commission
of if, and are id -ntified with the reBt of the
population. The government of Cuba,
with every advantage of juri-diction, civil
and military, and organized force, and
with an earnest wish to r prevent or punish
these miscreants, cannot doit flow, then,
can ou» Nival Officers, spread over an
ocean, filled with a thousand islands, be ex
pectod to prevent every case of villany ?
The pirates have certainly been driven
from the high hcbs by the exertions of A
*1 toucan and British cruiZrrs, and are now
only heard of in very rare instances, in the
bays and rivers, in nook^ and bye- place-,
where, as we have said, our cruizofs arc
ubsent, and where ootliingbuta perfertpo
lice on the shore can prevent or detect
them, it is not fair tp blame oar naval of
ficers for wHat they cannot control, whilst,
in the service of scouring those seas, and
convoying our trade, they are submitting to’
cvery'hardship and pri atiop, and running
greater .ctual risk of life from the disease-
of th • climate, man they would be liable tn
in a war with the greatest naval power of
the world. I’ is melancholy to think, that,
m th‘ -pace of little more, than one short
year fifty officers of tir Navy have fallen
victims b the severity of this service. One
thing more we will whisper in the ear of
our frfonds in the commercial cities; some
of the vessels which ard plundered, arc
-y-tematically engaged in the smuggling
trade and fall into their peril by avoiding
the open path and the light of the day.
