FOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH.
Hear This! Hear This!!
When the news of the defeat of the Annexation
qBcstion by Congress, was received in Havana, the
English residents had a general rejoicing. Parties
were given, and last, but certainly not least of all,
the officers of H. B. Majesty’s line of battle ship,
the Illustrious, gave a splendid ball, on board, to
celebrate the occasion of the defeat of the Southern
Democracy to annex and establish Texas in the U-
nion. And would you believe it ?—even bets have
been made by the English officers of several ves
sels of war, now cruising in the Gulpli of Mexico,
that, in less than one year, Texas, for which the
biavest sons cftlie South have shed their blood so
gloriously, on the field of battle, will bend the back
and bow the knee to tho Royal standard of pipud
England. Yes! England now feels liketbe beast
of prey, who, seeing his victim before him, ima
gines be has only to put forth his talons, and clutch
it, feeble and unprotected, an easy prey to its un-
appensed and craving appetite. Already, in delu
sive dreams, her Ministers gaze on the Crown that
decorates Victoria’s head, and imagine they see,
commingled with the lesser gems, the lone and
prominent star of Texas/shining and dazzling Eu
rope wiih iis richness. But there moves a thought
within the breast of every, aye! of every friend of
freedom in the South, that speaks a language of de
termination in favor of that land, that no words are
adequate to express:—There is but one voice abroad
in the land, and that voice says, Texas or die! Let
those who were residents of this city, a few years
back, recall to mind (he many brave and gallant
sms, who left this, their homes, and, buckling on
their armour, sought Texas to defend the cause of
Liberty. They have never returned, to greet us
with their smiles, or the proud triumph that attend
ed their footsteps; but their names and deeds are
emblazoned on the pinnacle of fame, and will live,
cherished in the hearts of their countrymen, unti|
time everlasting. Their bones are still lying under
the banner of Texas, for which they fought and
died, like martyrs; and now let the Democracy
of Georgia unite, and, by the overthrow of Whig
principles, and the Annexation of Texas, proven?
those who would usurp that happy !an«l, from defi
ling the graves of the flower of Georgia.
They may term this political capital, or bv any
other cognomen that anils them best, but it is the
feelings and experience of one who has. long cher
ished, and will continue to cherish, the most friend
ly disposition to the cause of Texas—a cause which
he believes the Democracy of Georgia will unani
mously unite with him in defending. C.
ous protective policy, and against the annexation of Texas.
Wilt any reasonable man doubt if Mr. Chappell is defeated
under the circumstances, but that we are to hear iu every
quarter of the great triumph of Whig principles in the 3d
Congressional District- And what are Whig principles ?
That Mr. Clay is for a strong protective TarifT, no man can
aidiously question, who will examine his course in Congress.
But we need no longer speculate upon the subject, he has
in a recent letter to Mr. Cope, of Pittsburg. Pa., said, ••that
the Tariff has operated most beneficially, and I am (he
is) utterly opposed to its repeal.” That the Tariff of 18(2
is strictly protective, tlist protection and not revenue is the
grest object of iu enactment, is not only established by ref
erence to tile provisions of the law, but openly admitted and
defended upon that gronad in both branches of Congress,
it follows that Mr. Clay and his party, North, 8omb, East
and W est, are now the undenied, embodied, and undis
guised friends of this great and gigantic system; ofoppres-
sion and plunder to this system, Mr. Chappell is opposed,
for this and other reasons befoie alluded to, I can but hope
that every man. Whig and Democrat, of this District, will
dispassionately examine the grest issues involved in the
approaching'eleciion, and faithfully perform their whole du
ty to themselves and country, by giving their support to the
able and faithful Representative, A. If. Chappell.
Gentlemen, with considerations of high regard, be pleased
to accept the assurance of my sincere esteem,
Your obedient servant^
GEORGE W. TOWNS.

TALBOTTON, July 29tb, 1841.
Gentlemen—Your letter, post marked 21st inst., inform
ing me the Democratic Convention held in Thomaston. ‘‘had
unanimously nominated me the Electoral Candidate of that
party, for the 3d Congressional District,” lias been received.
Be assured, gentlemen, I place no ordinary estimate on
this expression of confidence on the part of the Convention.
Under ordinary circumstances, I trust I may be pardoned
for saying I nm not aware dial there is any thing In the sta
tion to which the Convention has proposed my name, that
would have been peculiarly attractive to me, but as the
country is now circumstanced, and as parties are now ar
rayed, the Democratic with known and fixed principles,in
favor of a strict construction of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, in favor of a revenue Tariff, and against protec
tion; opposed to a system of internal improvement by the
General Government; against dividing the proceeds of the
public lands ; against the assumption of State debts by the
General Government; against a Bank of the United States;
and in favor of the annexation of Texas; and the Whigs
holding antagonistical principles which, if they succeed in
fixing upon the country ns its settled policy must lead to
consequences the most disastrous; under such circumstan
ces, I could not feel myself at liberty to decline the per
formance of any honorable duty, or refuse the nomination
to any station, by means of which I couid, in the opinion of
so respectable a body as the Convention of this District be
at all uceful.
The selection of Col. Polk by the Democratic party was
eminently wise. In his private character, without fault or
blemish ,- in his official intercourse, courteous, manly, end
firm, always patient, yet prompt and decisive, with a strong,
clear, ami discriminating mind, highly cultivated and well
stored with acquired and practical information ; as a states
man, without the blemish of inconsistency, haring uniform
ly given his zealous support to the principles of the Demo,
cratic party with distinguished ability for many years in
Congress, and in none of those principles has he been more
firm, or more efficient than in his opposition to a Tariff of
protection. The tongue of slander may assail his private
and public character, but the truth told, he has nothing to
fear from open enemies or pretended friends.
Allow me, gentlemen, before I conclude, to congratulate
you and the voters of the 3d Congressional District, in the
recommendation of the Convention of the Hon. A. II. Chap
pell to their support, to represent (his District in the next
Congress. It is ever to be lamented, that in a Government
like ours, acknowIeJgediy, based upon public opinion, that
any considerable portion of die people could be found, so
far unmindful or what is due to private character, ns to be
prepared at any time to denounce a public servant of ability
and known integrity, for no other offence than an independ
ent and manly avowal of his political opinions. I appre
hend, when the best of the present contest shall have subsi
ded. and the thinking part of the Whig party of this
District, shall have had leisure to review the justice of their
present course in relation to Mr. Chappell, they must fee'
astounded at the reflection, that a blind devotion to party
holiest had induced them to engage in a war unjust and
merciless against an able and faithful Representative, whose
only crime consisted in a fearless defence of the rights of
his constituents, and the Constitution of his conntry. It
may be asked why, as Democrat*, we should feel auth
concern for Mr. Chappell 1 The answer is obvious, Mr.
Chappell's opposition to the Tariff act of 1812, his advocacy
of a Bill at the last session, to modify and repeal in part the
objections! provisions of said act, has so positively defined
bis position in opposition to a protective Tariff, that a major,
ity of the Whigs of this District, for this mainly, have deter
mined to abandon him, and have selected another as their
candidate, whose views upon the question of the Tariff is
doubtless more in accordance with their own. It may not
be amiss in this connection, to remark that Mr. Chappell is
favor of the Annexation of Texas to the United States, a
measure strongly opposed by the Whigs, as a party. In
reference to these two great national measures, involving
the safety, interest, and happiness of the Southern portion
of tho Confederacy, Mr. Chappell hat taken high, patriotic)
and firm ground. And shall it bo said that the Democratic
party, whose known coarse of action it “every thing for
principle, and nothing for men. ' will hesitate in bestowing
an undivided suffrage on Mr. C. because, of his former con
nexion with the Whig party, at a time when they all pro
fessed to be opposed to a Tariff for protection, when the
watchword of that party was “Millions for revenue, but not
one cent for protection.” For myself, 1 cannot doubt the
remit. Now that the Whigs, as a party of this District,
have changed ground on the sohjectof the Tariff, and have
thrown themselves into the arms of the great apostle for
protection, they seek to cower their retreat from their for'
mer professed principles, whether real or pretended, bjf
ebargiogupon Mr. Chappell, “Caange 1 Change!” and thus
by the liberal use of that term, coupled with the bitter ex
pletives of corruption, dishonesty, and want of capacity,
they hope, thereljy. to mislead and deceive the people, and
carry ihe District in October against him. But this is not
all, by the defeat of Mr. Chappell, and the election of Mr.
Poe, 3 will be said, and that too with the show of plausibil
ity, that the majority of this District are in favor of the odi'

Fable—The Landlord, the Solder, k the Potatoes.
A soldier of the West, during tW late war. being off of
duty, was engaged by his Iandlord/to assist him in digging
of his Potatoes. Being fnrnishedbv the landlord with a
qnert bottle of choice spirits, this toldierof the West, du
ring the late war. being off of duty proceeded to the patch.
About an hour after. the latldldd himself went thither,
and found this son of Mars, in a /late of intoxication, a sit
ting down, unable to ,-tand, a hoping on to a stump, and the
quart bottle what had choice spists, at his feet, empty.
‘‘You worthless vagabond,” slid the landlord; “Is thisthe
way yon dig my potatoes!" &ys this soldier ofthe West,
daring the late war, being off el duty—“Dig your potatoes!
Damn your potatoes! Hid yoi expect me to be running all
over your field, a hunting of jour potatoes 1 If you wish
yourpatatoes dug, bring thetn'to me, and I will dig them.”
Moral.—Never engage a toldier ofthe West, when off
of doty, to dig your potatoes. If you do, don't furnish him
with a bottle of choice spirits; and plant your potatoes all
in one spot, that he may not have to run all over the field a
looking for them.

Having seen a publication in the Georgia Messenger (

which he alludeJ,” he says “he (Judge Colquitt ), made
statements at Clinton, which were distorted and misrep
resented and false—ptsilivcly and absolutely so—and
which must rest upon him or his author.'’
Having been an eye witness of the affair, and thinking it
due to the cause of truth and justice, I will give a statement
of it as it occurred. I think it was sometime in the year
1328, or 1829, on Sunday, about 2 or 2J o’clock, I was sitting
in the back part of my fatber’a dwelling, in this city, I heard
a noise in the Telegraph Printing Office, (which was on the
same Dot, with a door opening into the yard) I looked out
and saw S. Rose bolt out at the door, and fall on his hands
and knees, in which position lie went nearly half across the
yard before he righted himself, when he ran into my fa
thers dwelling, so badly frightened that he could not speak
and did not as long as he stayed, which was until his fi tends
heard of the affray and went after him, and carried him a-
way, ami I have been informed that be never spoke so as to
be understood until the Tuesday following.
Mr. Rose says, “the person who attacked me drew his
kn’fe, but was put out of the building forcibly, or left at
once by order of the proprietor. I went deliberately out
at the other door." So Ur from this being the case, Rose
was the first person who left the House, and had retreated
into my fathers dwelling before the individual with whom
he had the difficulty came out of the Printing Office, and
when he came out it was at the same dooi that Rose came
out at, he walked through the yard and went out at the
gate. Mr. Rose says, “/ seized hold of his stick before
he could repeat the blow, and wrenched it from him, at
another individual threw himself between us." Mr.
Rose might have also added, and run with the stick which
he dropped at the door, for I saw the individual with whom
Rose had the difficulty, when he came out at the door, pick
up the stick which he carried off with him.
Mr. Rose further says, that the individual “got his horse
and left town immediately." So far from this being ao, I
saw the same individual some hours after, in the Bar Room
of one of oar Public Hotels, and have always understood
that he did not leave until the next day.
For the information of Mr. Rose. I will state that I was
not the person from whom Judge Colquitt got hit informa
tion, but as he may have derived it from some member of
my fathers family, several of whom were present, I felt it to
be my duty to give a statement of the facts as they occurred.

Letter from Mr. Calhoun.
We have considered it unnecessary to say any thing in
vindication of this pure Patriot and eminent Statesman from
the charge so falsely brought against him by Whig newspa

Union. His own spotless character, his entire history con
tradict it. But at the request, not of Democrats, but of
some Whigs, who, in their political differences, do not for
get all truth and decency, we ventured, though but slightly
acquainted with Mr. Calhoun, to represent to him the ca
lumnies which were circulated concerning him. In reply
we had the honor to receive the following truly eloquent
letter i „ -, ,
“State Department. 7
1st August. 1844. S
Sir—I duly estimate your motives for giving me the in
formation you have, but the charge of being unfriendly to
■he Union is so utterly unfounded, and so obviously circu
lated for mere electioneering purposes, that I cannot think
it worthy of serious refutation on my part. The whole
tenor of my long public life contradicts it. and every friend
and acquaintance I have, knows it to be false. My life has
been devoted to ihe service of the Union, snd the constant
and highest object of my ambition has been to preserve and
perpetuate it, with our free, popular, federal system of
Government. ...
But according to my opinion, justice, equity and a strict
adherence to the Constitution are the basis of our Union,
and they who most firmly maintain them, are its best and
truest friends, and not those wbo most vociferously cry out
Disunion, and at the same time embrace those, who not only
ffpenly avow their opposition to the Union, but push with
all their zeal measures, which they must know will, if suc
cessful, end in its destruction.
With great respect. Ac. fe. c
