The democratic party have much cause to rejoice. With

I iie present is, in many respects, anuuspicious time for >

The measures adopted by you for the acquisition of our
mtiiloria! rights, carried out by the energy of your own
Executive, sustained by the prompt and.gealous co-opera- ■
tiuu of the federal authorities, have liappily term Dated a 1

'Die spirit of fanaticism too, which, for a limo, wore an 1

have in the scrupulous observance of the Jaws by all good 1

functionaries.
Undue excitement is, at all times, inimical to rational 1
action. Let us then, while engaged in the public service, s
forget all those unkind feelings and animosities which
sometimes grow out us an animated political contest; let a L
nobler rivally for the general good assume their place, and ‘
with the blessings of Him, in whose band* ere the desti- *

ualized by‘'wisdom, moderation and justice,” and result r
in the increased happiness of an approving people. “
ADDRESS
OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE SE4IATE.
Gentlemen of the Senate:
Being called upon by a majority of this body, to
act as your presiding officer during the present ses
sion, brings me under renewed obligations for the
honor which has been conferred upon me. Feeling
a distrust of my own ability to discharge the impor
tant an i arduous duties incumbent on the chair, agree
ably tn your expectations causes me to enter upon
thus ■ duties, with less confidence than I should other
wise do.
The short experience which I have had in the ca
pacity which you have called me to act, convinces me
that without the Senate, the duties of the chair cannot
bediseharged with that dignity which she impoitance
of its station demands; reliieg itowiver, upon your
aid and co-operation in the performance of those du
ties, I indulge the hope that the business of the ses
sion will not onlt be condui ted harmoniously, but re
sult profitably to the pe<>; le.
In the discharge ol my duty, I shall be governed
by Senatorial usages, and such rules as you may adopt
lor the government of the session ; assuring the Sen
ate, that any error which may be committed shall net
be intentional on my part. The session upon which
we have now entered is one in which the whole com
munity feel a deep end abiding interest.
1 avail myself gentlemen of this early opportunity
of giving it as my opinion, that we slioulyl commence
a system of rigid economy in making the various ap
: propriations which may be asked for—die condition
I of 'hecountn require it, and the people expect it.
, In aeci pting the honor which you have been pleas
!rd to i outer upon me, I beg leave to lentlei' to the
Se nate ruy humble acknowledgements.
ADDREB3
OF THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
To your kindness gentlemen am I indebted for
having b en again invited to the occupancy of the
t h iir during session of the Legislature which lays me
under renewed obligations, to the |>'s- of my at dity,
faithfullv and impartially to discharge the duties de
volved -'ii the appointment.
You w ill please genilemen accept my .thanks offer
ed in the sincerity of my heart, for the honor thut
eonferreil.
In the lew remarks that I may make in conforming
to a practice long since established, yon will excuse
mt: for olfeiinga few ideas on a subject iminediati ly
connected with the «>lj ct oi om assembling togetht r. 1
Twenty years ago this branch of the General As-I '
st-mbly was composed of ninety-two members, it now i
consists of two hiindn d ni l eight members, but not
witiis aiitiing tlii. vast inciease in numbers, notwiih-'
s' amlioa- tn it l> , 11 ill altho igh once enlarged is now (
c ow<!e 1 t • ovei lh>w ing, it is to be hoped that the num- :
In r ■' ill not tie sulf red to embai rass our proceedings, I
to retard the progress es business, nor add a single
nay to the length of the Session.
1 have long been of the opinion that in Georgia
there was perhaps too much legislation, th.-it w hen the
wants of the country rccptiiitig hmm diate legislative
; aciioii had been a tended to, the fewer the laws pass-1
' ed at any one session the better for the p. opie.
| The State of Georgia js now m p's-essioh of her
entire domain ; the whole of fter territory is now Or- 1
ganized ; her counties and county lines generally well
dilitud and county sites selectt <1 and incorporated;
her cities and towns under the government of well or
dered police rcgidations; provisions have been made
to afford aid and protection to our roads ami rivers.
Our Judiciary with a few exceptions is perhaps as
perfect as the Judiciary of any of our sister States,
and the various resources of the State are at this time
being rapidly developed.
Then in the absence of so many of the hitherto
fruitful sources of legislation, can we justify ourselves
anti remain two months in session at so great an ex
pense to the country.
Gentlemen, a rigid enforcement of the rules of the
House and, the preservation of order and harmony in
our deliberations shall be my fit st object, and for any
failure on my part, or for errors unintentionally com
mitted, 1 respectfully ask for that indulgence that I
believe you are always willing to extend to your pre
siding ollicer.
Fur the Slaiuhird a/ Union,
No. 105.
MAJOR “M.”
“He says,” continues M., ‘dint the measures now agita
tion, is the same with that Im fir.t advocated—the great
temperance question.’ 1 did not say so: 1 have never ad
vocated the measure now agitating 1 have never admitted
its identity with the temperance enter prize, as first intro
duced among us- On the contrary, 1 said of the tempe
ance society, as at first constituted; “some have supposed
it would be disposed to resort to coercion. Tins is not the
I fact. Consent is the principle of its existence. We
| would like to persuade t mcii, qnd onhj to persuade thsm.'’
! it is the indiscreet zeal of recont canoe, ts, concurrit g «ilh
the well meant but pet Imps indiscreet effmts of some of
the original friends of temperance, that has engiafted up
on the plan a feature which did nut originally belong to it;
and which for the present, at least, may have proved detri
mental to the legitimate cause of temperance.
‘M’ has had something mighty pretty abotd “a mighty
war of words,” and “mighty warrior” and “suord hacked
like a handsaw”—the prettiest of all. 1 have not-time to
do justice to these beauties.
“Admit this position to be true,” says Ji £tlie identity of
the tempeiancb a,| J dto petition enterprises—not admit
ted, however,] u’iiy was !■« guilty of such an act of su
pererogation in 1832, as tin U to •nuport it—[l did not
then support the petition enterprise—ii hau .“ ol 'hen been
seton fool] —and to write a long address to the p.':'>J'.“
Putnam county in its behalf-—[the addiess related almost
entirely to other matters] —if "die evils it; be remedied”
owed their existence to the non-eulorctmeinit of the ex
isting laws,” &c. 1 “You did not say so it) 1832.” Ido
not say so bow: 1 only advise the friends of inform to en
quire whether the evils sought to be remedied may not be
as much owing to the non-enforcemiiit of existing laws,
as to the want of further legislation.” "You [Lacon]
then said, speaking of the use of ardent spirits,” contin
ues M, “1 saw the wide spread ruin which surrounded me;
I greatly desired an adequate retnedy, and a n n.t dy has
come upon us”—“and that remedy,” says KI., “is a tem
perance society .” This is proof turnished by M irimseb
that I did not advocate -force in 1832. The remedy, as
just seen, was a temperance society; nut su< h, however, as
it may have been recently contemplated bv Major M. or
others, but as it existed in 1832. If 1 have said any thing
that seems to favor the idea that 1 consider the temper
ance and anti-retail enterprise as identical, it is as tuey
have been recently identified or associated, and not as (he ■
temperance enterprise was first introduced among us. In- ;
deed, 1 have not said they were identical.
“The same laws relating to the subject were in force :
then, as now,’ says M. The temperance society, I an- :
swer, were not then looking to law; they were relying on !
‘moral persuasion’—‘but y et,’say sM. “he [Lacon] wanttd !
a remedy, and it came, and it wa# a temperance so. it-ty.” i
Not so. In the address of 1832, to which M. has lefi rr- !
ed, 1 used the following words: ‘.‘l saw the wide-spread ,
ruin which surrounded me ; 1 greatly < esired an adequate I
remedy; aud a remedy has come upon us.” 1 could not,
at that lime want or need tho remedy, because iZ had al
ready come.
“You were right in 1832, or wrong,” says M. “if right
then, you are wrong now—if wrong then, you aie right
now." There is no difficulty iu escaping from this false
dilemma. lam now where 1 was in 1832; and I was ei
taer wrong then, and w rung now; or right then and right
now.
A liether I have ‘leaned lo my interests exclusively’ in
my ‘judgment’concerning M. ot the enterprise in which
he is engaged, I must leave fur Olliers to uecide; at the
same time that 1 unequivocally deny the fact.
But if the laws are not executed, why dot s Lacon slum
ber? He is on officer of the law,” &.c. 1 his is a mis
take; lam not an officer. Besides, as a member of the
teinpeiance society, 1 have relied upon consent, and nut
upon coercion.
M. makes a further puny atttempt to discredit my testi
mony; speaks of my anxiety to convict loin ut ‘inconsis
tency’ as leading me into several most awkward positions.
‘lt’ says he, ‘the measures [tempi rance and anti-retail]
are identical, what were his opinions in L" 321 Solemnly
protesting to the country that the temperance societies de
signed nothing wrong’—‘he now admits that lie was then
advocating a measure which is identical with one now,
which does “infringe the rights of the citizen,” Ate. I
have made no such admission. My views on the identity
or diffluence of the measures are already given, ‘lleie
then we eave Lacon te.-tity ing one wav, and pledging him
self another way,’&,<. Another attempt at a dilemma.
The remarks already made show its falseness. 1 have no
doubt M. is acquainted with a gentleman who has occa
sionally testified one way and pledged himself another.
Who that gentlenian is, I am wiiltug tor the public to de
cide.
M. has ‘defied me to prove either one or all* wf several
propositions which I have not affirmed. My views on
those proposition* have been given.
“I have thus noticed the conflicting and contradictory
opinions of Lacon, ’ says M. "not that I or any one else,
have ever thought them ol sufficient note either lo enquire
after them or speak of them, u less ilirmit in our way
[aye indeed!] by his p'esnniptuous sanity.” :tliis< umes trotu
Major M.!—"or making them the subject of newspaper
essay.” Who has manifested a greater fondness for lone
newspaper essays; than Major M.?—“mid thi n they wo dd
have passed unnoticed, but for the pefsonalnies they con
tain.” Who has been meie habitually personal and cen
sorious than Major M?—"and the attacks they -made upon
the consistency of otbeis.” M. is very sore at this point
—“while he himself is so ridicuh usly inconsistent as three
times to shift his position tn reference to a simple munici
pal regulation.” Denying the fact, 1 leeve others to de
l termine. LACON.

FROM THE SOUTH.
The Win. Gaston, ariived on Sunday, fiom Key Bis
cay no and posts south, Col. Hainey a passenger. The
Coidonel, we are sorry to say, is quite treble after a se
vere sickness, but is unbroken in spirit. Having for
months lisked every danger, ai d resorted to every means
to bring the Indians to friendly terms, ho is now ready,
since they will have it, to carry the war against them to
the knife. The Indians had in Col. Harney, dieir best
friend —they will now find in him their severest enemy.
Before going l>> Key West (which we mentioned in a
late paper,) the Colonel told the Indians that it they wish
ed for peace they mast camp near the fort, where they
could be seen, ami that the officers might become ac
quainted with them, so as to distinguish pat ties disposed
to be friendly, from others who were con iug in and out
with no definite object. To the propriety of this, they
assented, but on his return lit* Ound they had all disap
peared and with them disappeared al the consequences
oi a summer’s talking. This iz unt entries was the closing
1 geene of Gcoetal Macomb’s peasant fare* entitled tfce
“funny treaty, or the bamboozled soldieti.” The trage
dy of the war-dauce massacre, proved neatly a failure.
George, the iulerprotur, (these negroes have a singular
knack in ascaping from massacres) says that on the day
previous to the duuce, Cbitto Tosleuuggse came several
times to Fort Lauderdale, iu a caaoa, to urge Lieutenant
Tompkins to go up to the old pickets (about two miles) to
see a ball-play by the womto. On the day of the intenfi
ed dunce, invitations were ‘most BtimeroUs—overlooking
rank, party, and politics, the wltvfe command was invited..
George and two soldiers alone accepted, taking in their
canoe some whiskey in u pail, On reaching the landing
George was surprised at seeing no lights, and but a single
fira, to which they lirected him. OiFm tlv lie heard the
snap of a rille, and saw one' aimed at him™he was too
much frightened to speak, butjir'ked at one rtf'the soldiers’
pantaloons to draw him away. Sam Jones son was aim
ing a rifle through a break in the old pickets, where there
were a number of others pointed, and he'saw'n’tany just
raised above the palrnetocs; as he turned to plunge into
the river, two shots were fifed, and directly a volley fol
lowed—the soldiur received ofie ball through bis body ai d
i> since dead. The firing continued and the balls failing
uncomfortably near, George plunged and came up under
the bank, where he saw the Indians movements, and heard
all they said. They were pa'in'tod in grand style, and ev
idently supposed tliu* a g 'od part of the command was at.
the lauding when the firing commenced; but had somehow'
escaped. At first they exulted loudly at the supposed suc
cess of the plot, but when they found there were no dead
1 bodies, their joy was turned into rage. The amiable
Chino Tus’enuggee, acted as comtuatider-in-chief, re
proached his warriors as being no better than so many old
women, is allow ing one white man to escape.
This Master Chitto has certainly been quite notorious,
from the day that he was carried on board the steamer
there, drunk—stripped of bis dignity—and clothes, to the
attempted massacre of the people with whom he has been
for the summer a constant guest.—The wretch was par
ticularly anxi us that Cel. Harney should attend the dance,
and sent several rnesst rigers to be delivered to him in
event of his arriving in seakun. \ '
We sincerely hope that Col; Hhfney may speedily te
gain h's strength, for tlte country can' ill apare bis service ;
give him a regiinent of riflemen, and Ave are mireb mista
ken if Master Chitto is ant seen dangling from a pine tree
within four msnths.— XZ. Augustine Herald, ■
HEALTH OF AUGUSTA, &.C.
The health ol our city is much the same as last noticed.
There arc but few new cases occurring, aud the deaths
amount to only four by fever, aud three by other diseases,
o'lriiig' *he past 'week we have had every prospect of a
good tain, iu.‘ t'.’ve been disappointed in our expectation,
only a sufficient qiiai.J',* baying fallen to lay the dust.—
Until we have a hard rain gnu. bla’.k f| ust wc will not ad

If they wish to visit the city tbay can do so, during tun
