Obituary. It is w ith the deepest emotions of regret, that we announce the death of our friend and fellow-citizen, the Hon. Jesse F. Cleveland, late a member of Congress from this State, and for many years, a Sen ator in the State Legislature. As a representative of the people, both in the coun cils of the State and nation, he has rendered them good and faithful service. With a devotion to their interests, that looked above all othei considerations, aud a firmness and independence, that compromised nothing, and yielded to nothing but the right; In flame ranks high on the list of those, who have dun- honor to Georgia. As a private citizen, lie was a model cf all that exalts and embellishes civilized life, acd carries with him to the grave, the keen regrets of thousand.-, ami tens of thousand, who bear living testimony to his worth, as a man and a patriot. We copy'the following notice of his death, from t'be Charleston Courier, of the 23d ulf. THE RECORDER—SHORT MEMORY, Lc A short memory would be a wonderful convenient thing to a politician who undertakes to manage un manageable questions, was it not that some others j more retentive of passing events, art occasionally as • e'reshers, and suddenly upset their “baseless fabrics.” Just, so, at present, with the Recorder and our selves. The difficulty into which that print involved itself last winter, by sustaining the reckless co‘ Jrse j the “coon skin” party, in scouting the rr'/ief Message of Governor McDonald, and declaring “I flEY ought | NOT IF THEY COULD,” has k'ept it upon a continual stretch ever since, to relic*. t * itself from a position w hich it cannot maintain oeforc the people. It has drum med upon Stat'j bot;us—doled piteously over the fal- j len credit of tl.e State, aud harped most plaintively j :, t tb'j distressed condition of the people; hopeless, and * ’without remedy to he sure, by legislative interposition, ! and all that sort of affected sympathy, which expres- ! -es great sorrow, but never lends a helping hand. Week , after week, it lias cried down the public credit, by tel- | ling the people that State bonds were selling at this, ’ that, and the other scale of depreciation, well knowing ! at the same time, that the success of a great public ! work, depended alone for its accomplishment upon the i -ale of State bonds, and that the voice of the Georgia I press could not fail to affect their value in distant mar- but we contend that it w as the imperative duty of the last legislature, to have exerted its utmost talents and ingenuity, in devising “ some measure,” as Governor McDonald told them, that would have effected an object “so devoutly to be wished,” instead, of an swering his humane proposal, with, “ WE OUGHT .Not, IF WE COULD.” When the Governor suggested the sale of State Bonds, did he attempt to restrict the legislature to that, as the only practicable measure of relief? No. He said, “ If the plan now proposed for giving effect to the measnre, be deemed by the General Assembly ahjeclionable, I would earnestly recommend to them to devise some other more faultless, in support of which, they will have my co-operation.” Did they tl devise some other, more faultless?' Did they make one effort, or take one step, to mature a measure of relief? Did they appoint even a com mittee to deliberate upon the subject of relief? Let the Recorder answer. This is not the first time that we have been compel led to correct the Recorder, by refreshing its recol lection, and by distinctly stating the mode by which we w ould offer relief to the people, if w e possessed the power. As early as last February, we drafted and publish ed a bill, W'hich we would then, and now, present to the Legislature if it w’as in session, and we were a member, to authorize an issue by the Central T*ank, and as W’e have heretofore said to the Recorder, we say again, when they desire to know, o; speak of our views in relation to the most efficient, and practicable mode of relief, to look to the provisions of that bill, and that it may not escape their recollection, in fu- ure, we publish it a£ a j n . it reads as follows : “A bib to oeentitled an act, to repeal an act, pass- $25,000 FOR GRATITUDE. A bill has passed the House ofRepresentatives, ma king a donation of $25,000 to Mrs. Harrisoi, as a debt ofgratitude to her deceased husband, whici with one months pay, for the lime he served, will take from the peoples pockets upwards of twenty-seven thousand dollars; and add to this, about $23,000 to Mr. Tyler, will make the first year of the whig Presidency cost the people $50,000: and an administration too: that made much capital in the late Canvass, by crying out retrenchment and reform. We condemn the proceeding as unconstitutional and improper, and as setting an example w hich may lead to the most pernicious results. It is anti-republican, and smacks too much cf the pension system of monarchies and aristocracies for our fancy. It is taking money from the people without their warrant, or consent, and is therefore politically wrong. How many poor oid soldiers of the revolution, who are tottering in poverty to the grave, upon a pittance, which barely affords them food and raiment, are left to linger out the remnant of their days, forgotten and obscure, while the nations bounty is ostentatiously be stowed to swell a fortune already ample—to make the rich, richer, and the poor, poorei? And this is ca ! '.ed a nations gratitude. We contend upon republican principles, that any American citizen who dies in office, at the end of a months service, is as much entitled to fee public grati tude, as the President of il- e United States; and if the family of the one, is entitled to a full years compensa tion, so is the other. The husband who gets five hun dred dollars ** year, for bis rervices, is as dear to his w ife, as if he was President. Her bereavement is as gf^at ar,d her sorrow as poignant, for his loss, and her claims are equally as strong upon the charity of ihe country. Let the people look at these things as they should. If Mrs. Harrison has actually been left in a desti tute situation, let an appeal be made to private charity, and let the example be set at Washington, l*v the President—the Cabinet—the Members of Congress, and the scores of officers who are enjoying the emolu ments of public Station, through the patronage For the Standard of Union.

This Government was instituted fertile welfare of the people, and those who make, aud those w ho exe- cute die laws, are but their agents ; and that to gen erate any separate and distinct interests between the people is incompatible with this principle, and » as never contemplated by the fathers of the Revolution or framers of the Constitution. Equal laws, equal rights, political, civil and religious liberty. This is part of a democrats creed, and whoever departs from this is no democrat, say I. If a man perverts the truth, or gives false color ing to an}’ matter, he is no democrat—If lie deceives by holding back part of the truth—lie is no demo crat. Then to be a democrat, he must be frank, can did and honest in all things ; serving principles, not men. By ihe use of the term, “Party” the dema gogues deceive us; but lie of no man’s party, whose principles differ from the above. A democrat believes in ihe sovereignty of the States, as expounded by the Virginia resolutions and report. He holds the Constitution as the bulwark of his rights and liberty; and nothing will satify him short of a strict construction of tiiat instrument.

Mr. Clay from the committee appointed for that purpose, has reported a Bill to incorporate a National Bank, essentially different from the Cabinet project recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Ewing.

How many families have been beggared?—how ninny widows and orphans have been made?—how many houses have been burned, and property destroyed, even in Georgia, by the ruthless savage, within the last five or six years?

We have told the people, State independence, and uproot the foundation ol the ' fe al fe e Governor besought the legislature to relieve Constitution. them, and the Reformers declared “THEY OUGHT NOT IF THEY COULD,” and we appeal to the Recorder for the truth of the statement. We have told the people, that the same reform le gislature, did not make an effort, or propose a meas ure of relief, and this, the Recorder knows to be true. We have told them more—that the Reform parly Congress, and who holds the rights of the States, in ; j n 1840, promised, if successful, to dispel the gloom utter contempt. The will of Henry Clay, is the w ill of; which overshadow ed the country, by reviving the the Executive and legislative branches of the govern- : credit system—making money plenty, and times pros- ■ment; and ol this, the most ample proof is already to ! porous—that they would revive the credit system, foe founded, not only in the proceedings of Congress, j and enable the Banks to extend credit to honest and It is time for the people to awake. Federalism is “running riot” through the land, and the scenes now enacting at Washington are portentous of evil.

This scheme it is said here, meets the appro val of President Tyler. If it meets Mr. Clay’s ALSO, it will pass swimmingly through the House.” Does any mail in his senses require better evidence of the the utter insignificance of the administration in point of political influence? If there is one who still up the Banks, destroyed the credit system, and made times harder. If iiii5 is delusive, then are we guilty, but it is mat ter of history, and cannot be denied. We come now, to remark upon a further assertion of the Recorder, w herein it is proper to refresh its re collection, and enforce upon it, the importance of look ing well to the evidence, before a distinct and snb- ejoubts, “he would not believe, tho one should arise j stantive allegation is made, and of the consequences from the dead.” which often result from random shots. The assertion It is weM know n that no man in the anion has beei more opposed to a National Bank, than Mr. T\ler. That tip to the time of his election to the Vice Presi dency, he has pronounced such an institution uncon stitutional and impolitic; and it is believed that he came into the Presidential office, w ith very annoying scru ples, at least upon the first of those questions, and to which we allude, is as fellows: “The Standard says, the people ought to be re lieved by the sale ofSiate Bonds, the proceeds to be loaned to the people on the same terms that the State obtained them.” In answer to this, we have only to say. The Stan- rity of the same, r ihat an act passed on the 23d day ; dent and the secretary of the Treasury, that the na- of December, eighteen hundred and forty, entitle “an act to repeal an ac to alter and amend an act to es tablish a Bank at Afilledgeville,to be called and known by the name and style of the Central Bank of Geor gia, &lc. passed or. the 22d day of December 1839, and to provide for he protection of the circulation of said Bank, and (brother purposes,” be, and the same are hereby repealed. Sec. 2d. And be it further enacted by the authori ty aforesaid, That the President and Directors of the Central Bank of Georgia, be, and they are hereby authorised to loan out to the citizens of this State a sum not exceeding five millions of dollars, and they are hereby required to proceed forthwith, to adver tise a distribution of said amount, to the respective Counties, and that said distribution be made with (lie greatest practicable despatch, and under the rules arid regulations heretofore governing distributions, where the same, or any part thereof, are not altered by this act. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall be the duty of the President and Directors of said Bank, to give a preference in their loans, to persons whose pecuniary embarrassments require immediate relief, provided they give good and indisputable indorsers; and in no case to loan to any individual, or individuals, whose object in bQrrowing is believed to be shaving or speculation; and it is hereby made the duty of said President and Directors, to adopt the most effectual means for ascertaining these facts. Sec. 4. And he it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, Tiiat the faith and credit of the Stale are hereby sdemnly pledged, for the ledeniption of the bills issued under, and by virtue of this act.” In spite of all the efforts of the Reformers to break down the Central Bank, the bills get better. They will still pay the peoples debts at par, in most instan ces, and are only now and then refused bv some Sha ver or Shylock—and what is better the Recorder re ceives them at par ; and when a gentleman pays his account in Central bills, they return him a bow, and their thanks. to relieve them?

BUCHANAN’S SPEECH. We commence to-day, the publication of Mr. Buchanan’s speech, upon the McLeod case, and shall conclude it next week. We invite the earnest attention of our readers to this masterly effort of the distinguished Senator from Pennsylvania, in which he has exposed to the view of an outraged people, the injustice and cowardice of the present administration, and the dishonor which it has brought down upon the American name. We are free to declare, that since the infamous sur render of General Hull, to the British, during the last war, no act of this government bears the slight est comparison with the mean and dastardly course of the powers that be, in relation to McLeod. “ Tel! it not iu gath”—-that the American govern ment has not only justified the invasion of her own soil, aud the murder of her citizens by a foreign ma rauder, but when he is called to account for his atro-! j cities by a sovereign State, the federal government beeomesnot only his apoligist, but his counsel; and the disgraceful spectacle is now exhibited to the world of the District Attorney of the United States—the prosecuting officer of the government, and paid by the government, standing up in open court, as his ad vocate, and the Attorney General of the United Stales, lending the aid of his counsel, to shield the guilty scoundrel from merited punishment. There is corruption rank—there is rottenness to the core, or these things would not be, MORE CORRUPTION. According to the details of the Bank bill offered by Mr. Clay, another item is to be added to the pat- I |,| m _ ronage of the government, and a new door opened to the corrupting influence of money, upon the political opinions of men. The mother Bank at Washington, is to he man aged by nine Directors, who having very little to do, are to be paid for their services—be made salried offi cers, and thereby added to the number of seekerPand scramblers, and to the means of men in power, to boy up the services of political partizans, w ith other peoples money. Who will be President of the “Great Bank?” We cannot designate the individual, but he will be taken from Congress—a Senator probably, who has been so far disappointed in procuring a distinguished place under the administration. It will be organized as a political institution, and will be considered the fourth Department of the government; that is, the fourth in point of creation, but the first, in influence and power. And where are these nine Directors to come from, and who are they to be? They aie to come from the four corners of the Union—to be selected mainly for their ability to render political service—to be plotting politicians—stump orators, shavers and shy- locks. One portion to cheat the people out of their votes, and the other to cheat them out of their money. What a pity Nick Biddle could not have kept his wind a little longer ; but happily for the great pro jectors, the breed of financiers from which he sprung, is not yet extinct. But the people w'ere promised reformation, and they must have it, at least in name, though it end in ruin. The Bank is coming, and let the people remember the warning voice of him, who said, “ if the Bank comes, all unconstitutional things will come w ith it been vacated over two months.

This movement, and at night, with the com manding officer in person, is the commencement of a new era, and we are sanguine of a most auspicious re sult. Col. Worth has sent an express to New Orleans for the return of Wild Cat; his immediate shipment interfering with the uses he had intended making of him in his capture. The field will again be occu pied, and troops put in motion so that the old plan of waiting for the enemy is to be changed to ^hunting A destruction of his fields, harrassing his en campments, and a conviction that at military posts will be his only safety, will, we have every reason to believe, bring about a close of this war earlier than by any other policy.
