“ Tell inc, vizier,” so the monarch not long alter w>rd< addressed his sage adviser, “tell me how is it that I, a poor friendless stranger, have been made a great king, and let me know when this mummery is ' t.r end ?” “ Mighty suit tn,” said the vizier, “all the inhabi tants <»f the island, whom thou takest tor men, are on ly spirits.” Tee king shuddered under his royal robes, but »aid nothing, and the vizier proceeded. “ W* are, however alway* under the government of a mortal, who is sent ns Goin time to time, by the great' Lord of all, to rn'r over us. As soon ns he lands among u<, h* is point’' ! out as our bttur® ruler, and w.- are t dd. at ti e s mie time, how long be is to wear the crown. Tfis, however, is never told t'ttr sultan until the appointed time comes, when he is to lay down his dignity. When th it time comes, he is sud denly dethroned, dressed in a coarse and unsightly garment, and carried away to a barren desert island.” The -tU tan trcmldid once more from head to foot, and .t,.ked it uis predecessor bad been told, like him, what a sad fate awaited them. ‘ Thev were all told of it,” said the wi«e vizier, “ b t th y made no good use of their knowledge. Thoy e j yed the pleasure of the moment, without thinking of the future. 3<» the time for their dethrone ment came upon them before they h id made the slight est preparation for rendering their future life hs the desert island an agreeable one.” “Why, can that be done ?” asked the astonished sultan. “ Surely it can," wis the answer. “No one hin ders thee from now at this very moment, beginning to plant a colony on the barren island, which is to be thy future h ibitation. If thou doest this, rts barren ness will be changed to beauty, thou wilt be joyfully received when thou goes to dwell upon it, and never regret the splendour thou hast left behind thee. But hasten, hasten, if such is thy intention ! Feeble man is master of the present moment only, the coming one belongs to destiny." The prudent Sultan did not, like his predecessors, turn a deaf car to the warning voire of his good vizier; without loss of time he sent a large number of his best and most valuable subjects to the desert island, and commanded cl em to prepare a pleasant retreat Ibr him against his coming. Therefore, when he was dethroned, and forced, as others had been, to vi-it the abode of ban nness, he found it fertile and pleasant to look upon, and full of blooming flowers and wcet fragrance; and there he lived for ever in • hrerfulness an I peace, for he knew that this was his final restiiig-plai e, and that he had no further change or iccident to fear. And here my tale endelh,” said the vizier, and was silent. “ And what is the meaning of all this," said the cdlip’i, impudently, “v. hat is the hidden meaning of thy long-winded story? It contains, I suppose, some useful moral reflecti on ; but, if it does, it is so care fully concealed that I cannot find it. Speak more clearly I” “ Know then,” said the vizier, “ the rich and be nevolent man is God; the slave, to whom he gave freedom, a newly-born mortal; the island on which he lands, which he at first thought uninhabited, the world; his advisers, wisdom; the line of his govern ment. his life; and the barren island to which he is banished, the after world. The colonists he is per mitted to send into it, to beautify it, are the good works that he performs in this life, and the careless rulers are those who get drunk with the pleasure of this life, without thinking on that which is to come. And now, commander of the faithful, suffer me likewise to point out the application of my story. Duringthi period of the government, thou hast sent mnny colo nists before thee to make green the face of the desert island which is the appointed resting-place, but all the labour limy have performed will be in vain, if thou shouldst take the life of a true and faithful servant f a trifling matter. Forgive him, even as thou honest in God that he will one day forgive thee!” This bold remonstrance induced the caliph to lay aside his anger and pardon his innocent servant. A gpulicman who lately built a honse was show in it to a ftiend, ami with great glee was pointing out ail its various accommodations. “My dear sir” interrupted the other, “have yon made the staircase w ide enough to bring down your coffin?” An old lady 'ntrly told her household that she should t e obliged to get another tooth brush into the family, w -he bad taken so many boarders that one nos not enough for the whole concern.

From flit Southern Banner. MOKE MLSKEPRE>EM'A 1 ION. • We bad occasi in in our last, to notice the disingenu ous attack made by the Whig press upon Judge M< Don ald, for his vole in il:o Tassels case, and to show that that vote when properly understood, must receive the sanction of the considerate of all parties. W e regret to be under the necessity of again correcting the misrepresentations oi our opponents upon another subject, and of showing their tolly and recklessness in charging Judge McDonald with being a T niff man. In proof of this charge, an e.x --' tract from the Journal of the House of Representatives of 1830, is brought forward, where an amendment to the resolutions offered by Mr. Towns was proposed, by in serting in one of the resolutions, the word “ unconstitu tional,’’—Judge Mi Donald voted against this amendment, and upon this foundation the Columbus Enquirer chare’ s him with openly aduncating th' constitut onality of a Tarif, "and its consequent train of miseries to thr pt o pie.” That a tariff for revenue is < onslitntronal no man | in his senses denies, and that the tariff of 1828, professed on its *ace and in its title to be a tariff firr revenue, all who are acquainted with the subji cl know. Hence u was technically in cmrlbrmitv with the constitution, and was only pronounced tin 'onstitiitional hvanv one, because, tin der the cover of a granted power, it sought to accomplish »n object unwarranted bv the spirit of that sacred instru ment. There were many as decided opponents trf the tariff of 1828 as the editors ofthe Enquirer thems’lves, who c mid not declare it unconstitutional, w ithout qualify ing the expression so as tr» make it apply to the •■vi<l, n intentinn, rather than the words of the act. fv. n thr cclebra'cd protest, adopted by our L"!’i'l itore m 1828, only went so far as to declare this law “decctuive in i'» title,” and “unconstitutional in its well known objects”— recognizing, of course, iis literal, its technical cun-ritu- ! tionality. That Judge McDonald should hesitate, thr n, in introducing this word where it must and would have been taken in its broadest, unlimited signification, is not tn be wondered at ; particularly when it is remembered that he was willing to give, and did give, as decided an expression of hostility to the tariff, as any member on that floor. The following resolutions had been adopted bv the Senate, and were before the House for their concur rence. To procure joint, authoritative action, he was ready to vote for them without alteration or amendment; and their language is certainly clear enough to define the position of their supporters to be any thing but frierullv to a tariff w hich should bring a “train of miseries to the people.” Read them. “Whereas the period has arrived when an open and frank expression of the sentiments rd' the people, ma\ correct erroneous impressions abroad, and remove the delusions of either corrupt or visionary men at home as to the strong and predominant feelings ofthe citizens of Georgia : And whereas, recent events in an adjoining State, and the expression of opinions in ouqawn, go far to threaten the peace and happiness of our beloved country ; which intention is too distinctly marked to he mistaken, in such an emergency, every good citizen is bound to rally around our National Government, which has heretofore shed such a lustre over our political, moral and civil associa tions, as to attract the admiration of the world. At such a momentous period then, the people of Georgia do not hesitate to avow, through tb.e present Legislature, a firm adherence to the principles expressed in the follow ing resolutions. * Ist. lie it therefore resolved by the. Senate and House o f Representatives of the State of Georgia in General Assembly met, and it is soltmnly r< solved by the same, That as the present Federal Constitution is the acknow ledged bond of union be tween these United States, w ith a view therefore to make it forever permanent, and to avoid all causes of dissention and complaint, it is essential that the national Govt foment in the exercise of its func tions should strictly adhere to a literal construction of that instrument, and carefully avoid the assumption o f any power not clearly given. 2d lie it resolved, 1 hat though Congress may legiti mately raise a revenue for the support of government; yet in doing so, a just and prudent discretion ought to he •exercised, constantly keeping in view a fair and just equalization of the hurthens imposed amongst tire several States. We find, however, that this principle has been disregarded in the existing Tariff of 1828. This law, unjust in its conception, Iras also been nartial in its oper ation, and its baneful pressure is still continued, on the vital interests ofthe South. Hitherto the people of this State, with their accustomed patriotism, have yielded obedience to it; but the time has at last arrived’ w hen, in the spirit of equity and moderatiow, their interests should be regarded and their wishes respected. They therefore, now, in the most emphatic terms, demand its modification, at.d better adaptation to the interests ofthe whole. 3d. Re it resolved. That Georgia, in common with the Southern States, is fully sensible ofthe importance of an early and final extinguishment of the national debt, be cause when that period arrives the call for revenue will only be in proportion to the immediate wants ofthe gov ernmen*. Thus a prolific source of discord will he re moved, and the blessings of harmony and good will again pervade the whole.— she prr sent legislature view thi* result with profound solicit e, ami be? have to pre.-, its accomplishment on the present national administra tion. 4th. it resolved.'Vbut as there are copflr ting opin ions as well as atr avowed hostility of the people, apaiiiv. the assumption, by Congress, to applv the national n sources to the purposes niiscdh d “Imerual Improve mem, this Legislature cannot forbear expressing thei' disapprobation ot any such appropriations, umil tlir Constitution of the I’nited Stati s is so amended as ex plicitly to give the power claimed. sth. Re it resolved, I hai the people of Georgia view with deep and increasing solicitude, tire frequent ami open expression of opinions unfriendly to the < orrtitmar.ee o our present happy union ; and they cannot now retrm from declaring it as their firm and solemn belief that tin preservation of the present General Governim-m as ha-erf on the Fer/crrtZ Constifulioti, is the reckon wiii< h on future safety rests; and that on the < omirmance ol thi confederation, not only depends the present, but the fu ture existence and happiness of these United States. Not can this prim iple be too highly < lierished amongst our citi zens. his firmly believed that disunion, will bring in its train, discord, misery, and civil war. And finally, that the people of this Stale, will deem those unworthy of their confidence, and their worst enemies, who seek to sow among themthe seeds of disunion, and in reduce the bane ful doctrines of notification. fi'b. Resolved, I hat the people of Georgia, by their representatives now in session, view with deep and in creasing solicitude, the re-election of Andrew- Ja< k-on to the Presidency of the United States, avowing an open and frank devotedness of feeling to his limited construc tion of the Federal Constitution, and to the measures of his administration generally : and that the people of Geor gia cordially approve of the late policy pursued bv the G’-neral Government in relation to the Cherokee Indians in trying to effect their removal west ol the Mississippi. 7th. And be it further resolved, That the people of Georgia disapprove of the political opinions of John Quincy Adams, as expresst d in liis luaugor.il Arbiters.” These resolution* opposing the Tariff, opposing the i authority of Congress “to apply the national resources to > the purposes miscalled Internal Improvement,” advoca ting a limited “cor struction ofthe constitution,” and dis approving of the “political opinions of John Quincv Adams, that prince of abolition f deralists—were cordi ally voted for by Judge McDonald, and as cordially votefl against by Judge Dougherty. Were we to adqp t mode of reasoning made use of by the Whies, we should charge Judge Dougherty with being a tariff man, a nation al internal rmprovement man, and a John Quincv Adam, , man, because he voted against tire resolutions. But he • " CS< c bec ’" se 11,e,8 others before the House I which ha preferred, and Jndge McD.nald voted for these i because as a whole he preferred them toothers.—The I opinions of men in such cases are not always to be gather- I ed by wlmt they vole against, hut bv what they vote for; | arid notwillistaiiding the re r arks made in a previous part of this article, relative to the unconstitiitionality of the tariff, we cannot regard Judge McDonald’s vote on the proposed ameiidiin nt as convevitig any positive informa tion as ro his views on the general question. But the Senate resolutions are cle <r and explicit, and they furnish as strong proof his devotion to the interest of the State ami the iiitr grity ol the Uuiott, as any reasonable man could desire. The species of warfare adopted by <iur opponents can not benefit them. Garbled and perverted extracts from the Jotirt als, accompanied by false inferences and un worthy charge*, have been so often paraded before the people, that they have wis’ ly become cautious as to the itmounl ol credit which should be giver) them. We could adopt a similar course towards Judge Doughertv, arid make him out to have voted every wav but the right one; iin we sr orn an employ merit of this kind. If our candi date cannot suct r ed upon a fair presentation of his claims to popular support, without our perverting the actions, misrepresenting the motives er vilifying the character of bis competitor, we must submit to defeat, which we trir-l we.shall be able to do with becoming resignation. On ibis score, however, we have no fears; for salisfi. d of the met it ol our candidate ami the correctness of our piinci ph s, we cannot rlo iin but both will be iriumphant. THE ItEGI l. vTOK. Fbe Ijnited States Bank is fast verging towards that point of dis< redit al r-i icb when it rnn’e arrives, its pow er to perpett ate miscltief will be n.*iiirabz< d. Its stock, muwitlistamlint; all the stratagems and devices of frit nds a give it an artificial and fn titious value, hassuddt n'y fal len le while other stocks have gradnallv iizen. Its post notes thrown into the niaikr-l for the purpose of pro curing funds t t ship to Europe, are publii h s'ld at 18 tn r <'<'iit below their par valm , ami a general mistrust of the soundoess of the bank pervades the mercantile world. A hat will lie tlie i esiilt of ihis state of things ? Its brain h oi tills city, the Mei< bants’ Bank, may tender some assis tance to the imtoi tunam insti'iitioii bv issuing a few mill ions more of five dollar checks - if the community will onh take them and keep them, and promise not to send them io Pliilaiii Iphia to he exchanged for specie : for the mother hank knows by bitter experience that her power to issue that kind of spurious paper ami make it circulate through lite wt st and s iutli, has passt d aivav. The late expel iment of tin- same kind, about wliich theie wa. so much foolish boasting and vaunting in the Bee, proved most unlucky, ami turned out to he one of the principal • auses of the embarrassments of the bank. ’I he conti i vers of that scheme fondly imagioed that, as of old. those checks would remain in circulation, and the lew which would come upon them for payment, would be brought iir small quaiili'u s or one at a time. Contrary to this anti cipation, they have been calli <1 upon for pay inent of near ly th? whole amount in the course ol a few weeks. Tire post notes have taken the place of lhr.se five dol lar clivr ks, and rb< y have proved at< mporaty lesource for raising the wind. But this mode of iliaining the east ern cities of l.ieir spe< ie is not borne so patiently as rhe check system was toleialed here. The directors of the local banks in New-York have remonstlated with the ma nagers of the United States Bank in as firm a tone as they dared to assume, and some of the federal papers, echoieg the complaints of their patrons, the merchants and bankers, speak out w ith a plainness and an energy which form a remaikalde contrast to their former setvility. 'Fhe New \oik Journal of Commerce has generally pur sued an independent course in relation to the huge and iffischievotis monied power of the U. S. Bank, and on the present occasion it is consistent w ith itself. Tl e subprin ed article is copied from that paper. The Journal of Commerce is decidedly federal in its politics. But some other papers in New York, have recently spoken a hingmagc which would expose them to the maledictions of their party, were the bank in the same high and palmy state, which five or six years ago extolled the hosanas anti gen uflexions of these apostates, who turn their backs upon it in its present declining condition. If the banksol New Orleans have any thing to offer as a quid pro quo, the present would be a nice oppottunity for them tn obtain the fulfilment of the premise made them by’ the president of tin- United States Bank to furnish them with a fi w’ uiil'ions of dollars in his notes to serve as a circulating medium in Louisiana. The article could be bad cheap, and is in some demand here. The quid pro quo, one would suppose, might readily be found in checks drawn on New Yolk batiks by the officers of Bank, payable seventy-five days after dale, acceptance wared. We crave forgiveness from those gentlemen for suggest ing this hint, which to persons of such remarkable ingenu ity io finance as they are acknowledged by the whole world to be, may appear likw presumption. But we are not alone to filame in offeiing this opinion, for it is a preltv general rema k among men of business that the checks of the City Bank payable in Ncw-Yoik seventy-five dav s afterdate,- acceptance waved, would he a very'fair equ valent for pa per of the United United Mats Bank.— A.

We f ln d no fault with thawing specie fur any purpose, provided the fair movements of business prompt it. Nor in fact are we disposed to find fault with this feature 01 the business, much, at all. But we <lo protest once more against a system so monstrously wrong in hanking, as that the backs, the proptu money lenders, should change their occupation and turn to the tegular system of mammoth borrowing. It takes wav the foundations from under the fabric of currency, and/ titles them on top. It cannot bethat affairs are safe in' such a position.

What funds t it se oills have been Iran n against for such very large amounts, seeing that American stocks have ceased to sell, we do not understand; nor do we suppose that the bank will think it verv essential that we should. And why, now, the same bank, or its most intimate compa nion, is shipping great amounts of gold to England, and is still drawing bills at a heavy loss, compared with the gold when it gets out, we are equally at loss to under stand.

McDOWALD. “THERE IS A TIME FOR ALL THINGS.” And i:< n is the time lor eve*y Democrat to work for him self and his comitrr. It is less than one short week to the election—an election in >< hicli zreat and fundamental principles are involved. I he ground upon w Inch parties have c mt.-ned in Georgia, tor a scries of years, is now charißcd.

Ev, n Mr. Glay, the fajierof that very tariff which seven years ago. shook the Union to its centre, and was upon the verge of pre cipitating South Carolina and Georgia into an open rupture with the General Government, aheady finds farm- with ma try who then denounced him as their worst enemy, and “has many ami w arm friends in Georgia.” J he energy and success of onr democratic friends should stimulate them to the most vigorous activity, and victory is ccitaiu. 'Die Whig cause is overturned in the Union. The combi nation is broken up. Clay, Webster, Harrison and their file leaders, w ith al! their abominable heresies of federalism, bankism, abolitionism, tariffism and gag laws, arc sprawling oil their backs. Bixteen States of the confederacy have de clared for the administration, ami four more will as cettainly esme in. Ihe measures of Martin Van Buren, have eleva ted him to an enviable popularity, and the democracy art rally iug around him in every quarter of the I iiion. with a force which nothing can resist, and Georgia will do likewise, and show her devotion to a Northern President w ith South ern feelings and principles. Let next Monday announce to our confederates and the world, that Georgia will stand by the constitution. That she will support the man who maintains the sovereignty of the States, arid denies to the General Govermneiit the exer cise of any power not specifically delegated by the constitu tion.—The man who opposes n National Bank, a protective tariff—internal improvements by Congress, and abolition in every form, and who supports the great measure of delive rance and liberty, as contemplated in a total divorce of the government from the Banks. And such a man too, is CHARLES J. McDONALD. the mail of the people. STILL BETTER. From intelligence of the most satisfactory ch'iacter, re ceived within a few days past, and from various quarters of the State, we are authorised to congratulate the Democracy, upon the splendid prospects of tlnir candidate for Governor.

Being fully satisfied that Mr F did not vote the Van l!u ren ticket, wo chal.enge ill >se w;i,i have m ule die assertion, to prove it. TUB TAMSLL?. CASE. There has been so much » id ah ut the 'Passels case, and so much abuse has been poured upon Judge McDonald for the vote he gave upon that question, ami that too, fur the puipose of turning it to the account of h : s opponent Judge Dougherty, that it becomes pit per that the people should know the ground occupied by Judge Dougherty upon that occasion. The Tassels case transpired in 1830. Judge Di.ughertJ was that year a member of the House of Representative.-, as the Journals will show. At page 243 of the Journal just mentioned, you will find his vote reemded. in favor of atnhorisiug the President to ar-1 rest the Staie in the exercise of her sovereign rights, and to ! prevent the survey of her own territory with the militmy' force of the United States: ami at png • 251, you will find, his vote recorded against the passage of the bill to survey and distribute the Cheiokee countrv. But in looking into the proceedings upon the Tassel” case, behold the name of Judge Dougherty is not recorded. I his mighty champion of Stale Kights, was not there when ' the lug came, or his name would he found on the one side | or the other. We have no idea of seeing men dodge tout hi questions. We give the names of .those who voted for the resolutions, and leave the people to judge. (See same Journal page 440. Those who voted in the afliimative, are Arkin, Atkinson. Barr, Beall of Twi gs, Black, Black-heat, Bowen. Brown. Bryan, Burns, l.'alhouti. Carnes, Cleveland, Cone. Curry of Washington. Dickson, Drew. Fannin, Fintrie, Flewelle« Graybill.

We publish the following melancholy list fiom the last Georgia Constitutionalist, with emotions of heart felt sorrow. The visitation upon our sister city has been awful in deed, ami it is a source of deep regret to learn that the scourge still continues with urrdiminislied malignitv. In the midst of so much calamity, tl e noble rondui t of the City Council reflects the highest honor upon that bodi, and the untiring devotion of the Mayor, to iffe destitute and afflicted of all classes of the community over whiclt he presides, will long endear him to his fellow citizen*. The weather still continues unfavorable to the Health of our city. VV e have been a long time without rai> , aad at present there is very little prospect.
