MONROE. 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. Messrs. A. P. Powers, S. W. Burney, Porter Ingram, Thomas Andrews, William Smith, Committee. 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' The Great Mass Meeting in Macon, August 22tl.

Having seen a publication in the Georgia Messenger ( signed by S.

They trill receive a cordial, hearty welcome. 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.

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.
