EDGEWOOD. July 15, 1844. I received your invitation to attend “a ^W.'.Td Mass Conventioniof the friends bfimme- I^CSrianrfTexa. to the American Confederacy, ** ‘ ,. th insU at the Indian Spnng*. «• * h# La mv thanks Tor the kind manner in which you -S3 to «°“ ve y y° ur invilat!on ’ and k *"• my iDten ; * reP !!,ntii but circumstances hare recently occurred tion toaccep r j ret lhig> as I should bare r^*^lhave met yon on an occasion so well calculated ^Ifken the highest feelings of patriotism, and to excite 13 , oftviry freeman. The hutory of the world pre- ‘ h8 ,l P no^c parallel to the wanton and reckless rejection ^aeration of Texas by an American Senate. Con- “^"heextraordinary intei .f er rnce of England, togeth- W !^Zhe opposition of France, I think the rejection is a a-I h aw atdie Independence of the whole country, and dir * W . nl t safety of the Sootbern States. U a great calamity, hut there is a still J e 'r . n d that i. to «• a free people basely sink down ^ \ under the iaaoea that any foreign Government *" d£0 ’* “ dy lender. Great Britain has authorised a may arroga 17 .-.v-mad* to our Government, m .Lndv exerting herself to procure the general abol,- r lrcrv ihroLhont die world.” See Lord Aber- tion of slave y . 6th December. 1843. Now Do- delf “„L i. so interwoven with the very existence T'^r&ate. of this Confederacy, that such a declaration 7 !L . tWn Government with whom we have more ?*m 8 - Lane than all others, and made at this peculiar ^’rrSU -e nor less than a declaration Uia t J Jfim.xert herself constantly to disturb our peace and .WUh oor independence. And then to see Southern Rep. resentatives of sovereign States, instead or meeting this ar- meant declaration with the spirit and indignation of free- men, quail and tremble like unwearied infanta under the trumpet's blast, is enough to make the heart of every patriot .iak Vnd sicken wi(hin him. I would rather see the land mw emoting min. ihso that the spirit of my country should Sink down ilPhumiliatioti before any power on earth. Those who suppose they have preserved the peace of the country by rejecting the treaty of Annexation are vastly mistaken, ffbe rejection leids in its consequences directly and inevit ably to war. It baa been a political axiom with our Government, that ike possession of Cuba by Great Britain would be cause of war, because it would place the commerce of ten States in the Valley of the Miaaiasippi at the mercy of our great mar atime rival. If this be true, how much greater cause of wir would it be to see such an exposed frontier as Texas under the control of Great Britain with her avowed hostility to domestic inatitutions. vital to our very existence. Texas under the director indirect control of Great Britain would lead to agitatiou upon agitation, and aggravation after ag gravation, until we would be compelled to appeal to arm- and the God of battles to vindicate our independence, and preserve the peace of our firc-si les snd alters, therefore the rejection of the treaty it a direct blow at the independ' euce of the country and leads inevitably to war. But I trust the spirit of a free people will yet rise superior to fac tion and preserve finally the Union of Texas for Ike sake of the whole Union. I conscientiously believe it would strengthen the union of these mates. In a military point of view it would give peace and quiet to the South, and in a commercial and navigating point of view it would give in creased wealth and prosperity to the North. In fact it is so sectional question but a great American question. I confess that I feel my heart expand with new and enlarged eowtinns when I look forward to the day when the star spangled bannei shall wave in triumph over the Rio Grande as well as upon the shores ol the Pacific, giving peace and protection to every fisherman who may cast bis net upon the waves of the one as well as every husbandman who may gather bis grain upon the banks of the other. I exalt in the idea that they shall all feel the proqd consciousness of be ing citixens of the one and the same great and independent Republic. Gentlemen. I wish you an enthusiastic meeting, nnd trust in God that Georgia may take that stand in the coming con test which so well becomes her ancient character and bold course. For her to fail or give way at this great juncture in our affaire, would go far to shake the confidence of the country in the permanency of our peculiar institution*. I have the honor to be. very respectfully, yonr obedient servant. F. VV. PICKENS. ToJamks II. Stark, and others.

Now they say he has quit them, are referred to the tables accompanying Mr. Wood- Whig paper. We publish it for the especial benefit of and come over to us. If so, I, for one, am glad of bury’s speech, the perfect accuracy of which has tho,e of our Wh; g Wends who contend that Mr. Clay is not it; and if they have any more men like A. H. not been gain-saved or denied. I * Prote ? UTe Tarifr maa > a ° d iinot in w oftbe Aboli l TOR THE KACOX TELEGRAPH O. H. Prince, Esq. An anonymous writer in the last Messenger, over the signature of “A,” has, through inadvertence perhaps, made an erroneous statement, which I de sire to correct. He says, in substance, that myself, among others, were aspirants for the nomination tn Congress in this District—that we were sujierseded by Col. Chappell; and seems to sympathize with us in our misfortunes. Sir, the statement is un true. I was not an aspirant for the office, nnd did positively refuse to allow my name to be placed be fore the people, in teference to that nomination— the acceptance of which, would have interfered with other duties anJ projects, which I could not, or would not relinquish. Moreover, sir, I never have been, and never expect to be an aspirant for a nom ination to any office. It would not be worth while to notice this mat ter. were it not, that the object of the writer, and of othets who have written from time to time in the Messenger, seents to be, to create jealousies and heart-burnings in our ranks, towards Mr. Chappell. No such effect can be produced on me, nor any of those personal friends who take an interest in my individual advancement. 1 like the course pursued by Col. Chappell, in the present Congress. He is able, honest, and independent He is in favor of the Annexation of Texas to the Union, and oppo sed to unjust and unequal taxation. He is in office, and has discharged his whole duty with zeal and fidelity. Such a man should not be turned out; and if I had even desired the place, and could have had it, to gain it by the expulsion of an honest pub lic servant, would be a degree of base selfishness, of which T hope I am not capable. I beg that my friend “A,” of the Messenger, will dismiss his fears and moderate his sympathetic gtief, at least as far as I am concerned—for I have . no apprehensions, whether the old panel or the new be in the ascendency, but that the great Dem ocratic Party, to which I am attached, will, on proper occasions, and when in power, advance me as fast as my merit or ability will warrant, if not faster. As to this question of old and new panel, it is a division and distinction made in our ranks by the Whigs, and the existence of which, good Dem ocrats do not admit. When you hear one of our party continually prating about “old and new pan el,” write him down on the spot, os a man who in tends to abandon the Democratic ranks, or a spy in thecamp. Why should there beany “old and new panel” among us? We support “ Polk and thllos”—we earnestly desire the Annexation of Texas t 0 Union, nnd the occupation of Oregon Territory; and we oppose, with all our might, the unjust, unequal, and iniquitous tariff of 1842.— ben one comes up and puts his fist to these doc- tnnes, he is neither of the “old or new panel,” but Write him down ns a member of that Great Demo cratic Panel, which spreads its folds from Maine to Louisiana. Our Whig friends (that is, their journals and vin- any Chappell, we will take every single one they have to spare; and be mote obliged to the Whigs for the present, than for any of the numerous favors they have heretofore conferred on U3. But what mfer- ence do I draw from this? Why, that it is a com pliment, of the highest order, to our party. Here is a man, battling in the Whig ranks all his life, doing tremendous execution—talented, hon est nnd patiiotic—a large majority in his District in his favor—he now turns his back on his old ftiends, and joins the opposite party. Why? Be cause the purity and patriotism of Democratic mea sures have forced him to come out Id their favor, and to renounce the evil tendency and dangerous character of the measures his former associates are seeking to fasteh on the counliy; and now the Whigs seek to deprive us of the benefit of this im portant testimony in our favor, because they hope to prejudice us against the new panel, as they call it. Suppose a Democrat, influenced by this slang, should vote for a Whig, I should like to know what panel he belongs to? But my object in writing this letter, in the outset, was simply to let it be known to those who had any interest in my aflairs, that I was not an aspirant for the late nomination in this District; and, instead of being jealous of Col. Chappell, ever since his let ter to the people of Georgia, and after learning his course in the late session, I have been uniformly anxious that he should be re-elected to Congress, in order, among other things, that this District might hnve it to say, that our people will not be dragoon ed into service, by interested patty leaders; but that they would return the man who had proved himself capable, honest and independent. Yours, truly, A. P. POWERS. TOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH. I have seldom seen comprised in the same space more nonsense than is to be found in an article of the Messenger, of the 25th, over the signature of “A.” This sapient scribbler informs us that the Democratic party of Georgia, consists of two divis ions, the “Old and new Panel”—that Col. Chap pell belongs to the latter, “and that the leaders of the former” have doffed the insignia of rank to swell the train of men not more able and far less honest than themselves.'* All this indeed, would be frightful enough if true ? But is Col. Chappell the “commander of the Democratic party of the 3d District?” So far from it, he is not known as the Democratic candidate, but as an independent candidate soliciting the support of both parties, with out being exclusively the candidate of either. Such is Col. Chappell’s position. “A’s” sympathy for certain gentlemen, whose claims and services he intimates were overlooked by the Thomaston Con vention, will be duly appieciated. He mistakes altogether the purpose for which this Convention met—it was to nominate a candidate for Elector, and not a candidate for Congress gain-sayed But how do Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk stand in re lation to this Bill of Abomination junior. MR. CLAY IS FOR IT, MR. POLK IS A- GAINST IT. HEAR MR. CLAY in his letter to Mr. Cope, of Pittsburg. Pa., June 29th 1844 : “J have evert/ where maintained in adjusting a Tariff for Revenue, discriminations ought to be made Jot PROTECTION 1 that THE TARIFF OF 1842 has operated most beneficially, and that I AM UTTERLY OPPOSED TO ITS RE PEAL.” H. CLAY.' Have you pondered well the excesses of this a bominnble party Tariff of 1842, and Mr. Clay’s ut ter opposition to its repeal ? Now hear Mr. Polk in his speech at Jackson Tenn., on the 3d April, 1843: “He (Col. Polk) was OPPOSED TO DIRECT TAXES, and to PROHIBITORY AND PRO TECTIVE DUTIES and in favor of such MOD 1 ERATE DUTIES as would not cutoff importa tions. IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS IN FAVOR OF REDUCING THE DUTIES TO THE RATES OF THE COMPROMISE ACT. WHERE THE WHIG CONGRESS FOUND THEM ON THE 30TH OF JUNE, 1842. Mr. Polk had direct reference in the above re marks to the Tariff act of 1842, because that act was passed 30th June, 1842, and repealed the com promise act and violated all its principles. Elect Mr. Polk and we have assurance that this act will be repealed and the compromise act rein stated. Elect Mr. Clay and this Tariff act will remain to disgrace the Legislation of our country and oppress our people Will the rank and file Whig3 of Georgia read and investigate for themselves; if they will, their stump orators will fail in their project of transferring them over to the high Tariff party of the North. HOUSTON. Compliment to Young Hickory. Here is what Horace Greeley says under his own signature, in the Tribune: tionists in any respect; and who assert that the opinions of j lishinc"a cornffimentor’'*. p . a P er < 5 V e ve pj gtnonlly pub- — •— r * r 1 tuning a compliment I paid to their candidate, some years since, in a biegraphy of Judge White, wherein they quote Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk are identically the same in regard to the Tariff: the last Legislature had laid off the District for Mr. Chappeil, and we did not feel that it would be be coming in us to interfere with the arrangement. “A” says that Col. Chappell “is leading on the Democrats of the 3d District to sure defeat.” But this is not quite so bad as Mr. Clay is serving the Whigs, for he is leading them to defeat and dis grace both. "A” calls Mr. Chappell a “deserting Whig.” Now, if I understand the game, it is the other way—the Whig lenders have deserted Mr, Chappell, because he voted against the black Tariff of 1842. a vote approved of by the rank and file of both parties, and for which he will receive their support. Mr. Chappell’s course on the Tariff en titles hint to the support of Democrats as well as Whigs, and explains the reason why he has no op position from the Democratic ranks, and why so many of his Whig friends are giving him their support. An attempt to array the “old panel” against Mr. Chappell, will prove as abortive as his silly effort to prevent honest Whigs from voting for him, by raising the senseless cry of “deserter from the Whig party.” Would it not be well for “A” to ascertain what longitude he is in, before he en- dites another soporific for the Messenger ? “A” takes for granted the very thing that remains to be proven—and that is that Mr. Chappell has deserted the principles of the Whig party. When Mr. Chappell went to Congress, tjie Whigs in Georgia were the Anti Tariff party—who then has changed? I advise “A” to direct his attention to this question, and not to spend so much of bis valu able time in trying to prove that the Democratic party is ruled by a “small clique of Nullifiers.” Nullification is a question not now before the peo ple, and why talk about it ? On this branch of the subject, it is enough to say that we extend to all who join our ranks the right hand of fellowship, and as a party we adhere to the principles of our prima- ty organization. In conclusion, I will tell “A.” that we have no “old or new panel men” in our ranks, that we are all Polk men, and have bandtd together to prevent the South from being precipita ted into the arms of Mr. Clay. In this noble enterprise, the success of which no body doubts, the people are leaders, and the cack ling of street politicians will be ineffectual to stay their onward march to victory. B. TOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH. The Tariff of IH42- The Tariffof 1828, was by reason of its injustice, inequality, and oppression, styled THE BILL OF ABOMINATIONS. That of 1842 for the same reasons may be properly entitled, THE BILL OF ABOMINATIONS. JUNIOR. The act of 1842 contains eighteen articles, chiefly necessaries, such as cottons, cotton bagging, molasses, twine, wool lens, saddlery, shoes, &c., which pay a higher du ty than was exacted under the Tariffof 1828, upon the same articles. Various other articles of neces sity, pay as high a duty by the ac: of 1842 as by 1 that of 1828. " FOR TUE MACON TELEGRAPH. Whig Deceit. FREE DISCUSSION!! FREE DISCU8SION ! The last Southern Recorder, urges the Whigs to incite "free discussionas they have every thing to gain. What, the Whigs have every thing to gain by free discussions of their principles ? Well this is news to say the least of it. Has it come to this, that the Whigs really desire "free discussion, and the consequent exposure of the nefarious Fed eral principles recently assumed by them ? There is no truth in any such a supposition. Their prac tice in reference to “free discussions” proves their insincerity and brands them with the deceit. What is that practice? It is that in all “free discussions” the Whigs must have the conclusion of the argument, and they must not be confined to the Issue. Because "theyhave every thing to gain not by eliciting the truth, for that would damn them The Whigs in I before the country, but by awakening old party prejudices and feelings, and thus barring the doors of the mind against the entrance of truth, and a- gainst free and mature investigation, Boys let us hear no more of yonr deceit, come out like men, and as you are the defendants, yield the conclusion to the Democrats, who are prosccu ting in behalf of the people. The culprit, accord ing to our law, is not entitled to the conclusion, and 3'ou have no right to ask it. All the Democrats seek is to convict you upon the law and the testi mony. If the Whigs will adopt this suggestion, of quietly giving up the conclusion, seeing that they ate not entitled to it, the Democrats will “tear their rumps off” before the first Monday in October—and to use another common phrase, little Stephens’ hide “won’t hold shucks” by that time. But the Whigs durst not invite “free discussions” if they are to be held down to the issue, and lose the conclusion (o- boot. HOUSTON, EVANSVILLE, July 22d, 1844.

The undersigned did not say, when addressing his fellow- citizens on- Tuesday evening last, that "one of the South Carolina Delegation, at a meeting held in Washington, had proposed State action ’ as a remedy for Congressional op pression—no such proposition was made. This fact, however, appears to the undersigned as quite unimportant. His duty to South Corolina would have com manded him r» propose such action himseif, could he have been convinced of its efficiency. ' Unforinnsteiy the oppression of which we complain, is too deeply rooted to be eradicated by a single State. A majority of the States, or at least so many or them as might, under the 'Constitution, check or influence a Congresiona. majority, must unite to effect so desirable an object. __State legislation may do something in counteracting Con gressional legislation, but not much, unless sustained by the zealous co-opperalion of a very laige majority of the people of the State. If(e. g.) the people would use no manufactures which had not paid a duty to the Govern ment or been made in their respective States, the protec tive system of Congress would soon fall. What has been recently done in the Legislature of Ver mont and Masacliusetts, when cupled with the proceedings of the House of Representatives of the United States on their 21st Rule, appears to the undersigned, to present a new issue to the Southern people. If they do not unite to defend their rights and the Constitution, they will be soon made to yield them to unconstitutional legislation. DANIEL E. IILCER. Louisiana Flection. The result as given in the New Orleans Morning Her ald (Dem.) allows the Whigs 31 ami the Democrats 23 members of the House.—The Republican, another Dem ocratic paper, claims one member, whose politics are^not designated, as a Democrat. This would make the Whig majority 2. Another member, Stille, is claimed by both parties.—The Senate stands 9 Dem.; 8 Whigs. The Con vention 46 Dem.; 23 W higs. 4 places of election not heard from. An important item of news brought by the last Steamship from'Liverpool, is that the rejection ot the Texas annexa tion treaty by the Senate of the American Congress, has been the subject of much comment in the English journals, and the account has been received with general and un qualified approbation. Wbyf Why such exaltation at the rejection of the treaty in England and among a certain party in this country? \Vhy should there be such a coin cidence of feelings between the high tory party in Eng land and the whig party in the United States? We would respectfully request the editrrs of the National Intelligen cer to explain this strange circumstance to the people of this country.

To the Editor of the Georgia Messenger .- “My best reflections and most careful investigations have confirmed the opinion, that Congress has no power to char ter « Bank.” Opposition to a National Bank lies deep in the elements of ou r party organization. We shall in vain expect the re spect flue to consistent politicians, if we become the advo cates of a National Bank.” The world may change around us, but our principles remain the same.” “ I belong neither to the house of York or of Lancaster. My principles will not permit me to support either Van Bo ren or CLAY."—E. A. Nisbel, July 24,1838. Addressed to Committees of the citizens of Taliaferro and Franklin counties. Sept, 13, 1833. I am requested to make known my choice for the next President, between Van Buren, Clay, Webster,and Harri- were all advocates and supporters of the Tariff, or Amrri can System, as it was called. They were in favor of the Force Bill, and the doctrines of the Proclamation. They entertain the opinion, that Congress has power, imder the Constitution, to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia —and the right and is in duty bound to receive abolition petitions.” “ He (Mr. Clay) has recently houted the Flag of l F.Jty Million Bank. This is his last great move for the Prt i- dency. He says, in language not to be mis understood, to the Commercial Manufacturing interests of the North, inakame President nnd I will give you a Bank of fifty millions. He was the father o! the American System, and naw seeks to be the father of a National Bank. Such a progeny leagued with such a parent, would consolidate the Unto:, in an un mitigated despotism, or break it into fragm ...ts.” Thomas Butler King. “Under no circumstances shall this paj er advocate the election of Martin Van Buren or HENRY CLAY. For we believe them both hostile to the Sonth, and wanting in those elements of high character which should distinguish the favorite of a free, an independent, & a virtuous people.” “The President of the Republic, who follows in the foot steps of Andrew Jackson, must ruin it. ‘•The permanent adoption of the great American System, uf which Mr. Clay is the father, and indefatigable advocate —must ruin it. “Let him who can qo it, consistently with bis own honor and safety, choose between these modes of overthrowing a happy and prosperous people;—as for our humble journal, it shall go down to the ground "unwept, unhonored, and unsnng." before it shall share in either mode.” •• Where are TyJer, and Hayne, and Leigh, and Taze well, and Calhoun, and Troup,mid Hamilton, and Preston? Where are these noblemen of the earth, that the South should be called upon to cast the votes of her worthy sons, on such men as HENRY CLAY, or Andrew Jackson’s shadow. It is an insult to the South tn ask her to lend a helping hand in such a scheme. Ilj is unholy to insinuate that ahe would drown herself in surh infamy—she canno* he wifi not do it.”—Columbus Enyinrer. August 1838 A Paris letter states that the Poles are all embracing a new religious doctrine, brought from Lithuania about three years since by a M. Towianski, and recently endorsed by M. Micbieniez, one cf the professors of the College of France. It appears to be a compound of Morinonism, trans cendentalism, and animal magnetism. Sudden Death. On the llth inst., Dr. B. L. Franklin, aged about £0 years, was instantaneously killed at a mining establishment, in Cherokee county, Ga., by the machinery employed in the works. Dr. Franklin was a young gentleman of excellent moral standing. He was a dutiful, affectionate son, a devo ted brother, a warm friend, and a young man of much ener gy and integrity of character. He had been successfully engaged, for some time, in con nexion with bis now bereaved mother, and his brothers, in the mining business. He had just put a new, enlarged shaft to his main wheel. The enlargement of the shaft made the cogs, which raise the iron pestles, to play upon a broader scale, i. e. to extend up and down further than formerly.— Oar departed young friend, forgetting the alteration in the shaft, stooped, as he had often done before, to clear out the boxes, when one of the cogs instantly crushed his head to atoms, and be was. without a moment’s warning, launched into eternity. Tuis sudden death speaks In a voice of thun der to us aU, warning us to live habitual y prepared for the hoar of our departure. Could the wounded, bleeding hearts of the deeply afflict ed mother, brothers and sisters, be healed by the kindest sympathies of weeping friends, those snfferers would soon be relieved. Bnt when God has wounded, none but God can heal. To His parental kindness and tender mercy, they are affectionately commended by the fervent prayers of a sympathizing friend. H.
