the utmost success in their undertaking.
partial legislation.
It is natural for men to look only at those
things which obstruct their interests, and not to
reflect that a removal of them might place grea
ter impediments in tire way of others more nu
merous than themselves. A manufacturer of
iron, for instance, sees an import of the article
be deals in, to the amount of over three and a
half millions of dollars in one year, and in order
to curtail the amount imported for the future,
and prevent a competition which lie deems in
jurious to his trade, calls on Congress to levy
a tariff duty on Swedes iron of S18 per ton; on
pig iron S9 per ton; on hoop iron, sheet iron,
nail rods. Jcc. a specific doty of 2& per cent.—
Congress yields to Ins importunities, and what
u tho consequence! The great mass of the
people have to be burdened to the amount of
the duty, with the interests and profits superad-
ded, in order that he may thrive better than
people of other callings.
If the demand is so great that iron can bear
the duty, and the import remain without dimi
nution, then the fanner, the mechanic, Sic. pay
duties to the government greatly beyond their
proper share. If,however, theduiyissohighns
tocurtcil the amount import' d, & the iron mon
ger has to make up the deficiency, in that case
he advances his price accordingly, as iron is an
article that must be had, be the price high or
low, and the farmer and mechanic pay into his
pocket an amount that impoverishes them in the
same ratio as it enriches him. It is difficult to
perceive the justice of a government in fostering
one class of its citizens at the expense of all ihe
rest. The manufacturer thinks the regulation
a wise one, as like the rest of mankind lie feels
bound only to look after his own interest, and
dors not see or care to see how protecting him
can ii jure others. But in what light is it view
ed by the great mass who have to contribute
from their earnings that lie may become opu
lent! Some are blinded by party zeal, and
shut their eyes against the truth; many sec it
in its full force nnd effect; but that principle of
our nature which makes us bear as long as evils
are sufferable, restrains thpm to hoping that a
returning sense of justice may yet free them
from their burden. But when has avarice and
power voluntarily yielded mercy to its victim ?
The gieatcr number however, from their avo
cations not leading them to such investigations,
do not choose to unravel the cunningly devi.-ed
system, intentionally framed in such a manner
3s to elude detection, and consequently do not
see its injurious operations on their interests.—
Interested |ter.sons tell them if you cannot see
how the tur.ff duties affect you, how can you be
injured by them. In the same manner as men
suffer from many causes they do not take the
pains to understand, and causes which they
cannot see with the physical organ of sight. To
borrow a forcible figure, suppose a family re
side in a sickly place, on u river swamp, and
are all ill of bilious fever! Can they see the
malarious atmosphere impregnated with decom
posed vegetable substances, which causes the
sickness ? They do not sec it, yet it has made
them sick.
In England the landed interest is peculiarly
favored by the government. In the United
*-* ate * the manufacturing interest is the pet in-
terest. There they have a titled nobility, ma*
••yofwhom trace their genealogy from the in-
v asion of the N ormun conqueror, nnd hold their
patents by royal munificence. Here we have
a privileged class, not as yet bea'ing the name

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
We have been pained to witness and cannot
but condemn the course that iwo leadin'; and
i- fluential Demo-ratic Journals of this State
have suffeied themselves to be betrayed into
in reference to the next Democratic candidate
for Governor. It is ceitainly right that all
the facts upon which the choice of the people
should turn, were thoroughly known to them ;
and while it is the duty of the press to aid in
spreading a know! edge of these before the peo
ple, it should not be do:*- in a manner calcula
ted to produce dissensions and bckeiings be
tween the friends of any of the gentlemen nam
ed in connexion ith that office. We hope
without offending any one we will be permitted
to remark that we believe cverv patiiotic and
disinterested Democrat in the State feels infi
nitely more interest in maintain tig the glorious
principles they succeeded in re-csiablisliingafter
the recent hard conflict than they do for the mere
personal advancement of this or that aspiiant.
How then can this be accomplished ? Ceriain-
ly not by dissensions in our own camp. Not
by inflaming the passions and judgment or
arousing the prejudices of the people. Let us
then, let every one who values the glorious
principles of republicanism, castoff as unworthy
of himself, of his party, and of patriotism too,
an inordinate desire for office on the one hand,
or a mis'JUided devotion to men on the other.
Let every one remember that we have a wary
and unscrupulous opposition to contend with,
and that any disaffection «mung ourselves will
strengthen our opponents' a« ms. Let our mot
to be union, harmony, principles—every thing
for these—nothing for men. And if there are
any in our ranks who love '‘Caesar more than
they do Rome, let them be held as enemies to
the commonwealth.
THE NAVY.
In the “New World.” a paper published in
New York, we find this assertion uttered in a
spirit of complaint: •‘Hitherto the South has
officered the navy of the United States, while
the North has only manned it.”
The states of Mary laud and Virgini i, from
their contiguity to the capit"l, afford means to
applicants from those slates, to urge their wish
es at less C"*l than those from more distant
places; and the personal influence and hospi
tality of their friends toward the officeis of gov-
eminent, may have its influence in forwarding
them. Those stales, for these reasons may
have their full quota of officers in the navy, and
doubtless they have. But Maryland and Vir
ginia form a small portion of the country called
the South, nnd after passing thence Southward,
we imagine there are sm-.ll grounds of com
plaint at our having more than our share of of
ficers in the navy or army.
In our naval establishment there are from
the several states sixty six command* rs of
squadrons, navy yards, naval stations, asylum,
port-captains, captains, and lieutenants in com
mand of ships. And among them all we see
but one from Georgia, to wit: Josiah Tetnall,
commander of the sloop of war Saratoga, em
ployed on the African coast. If the complain
ing editor is to effect a new mode of allotting
offices, we hope it will be an equal one, and that
this portion of the South will have a fairer pro
portion than the present rate, of one out of six
ty-six.
PUBLIC MEETING.
Macon, April 19, 1845.
At a meeting of the Democratic parly h< Id
at the Court-house nccord’n g to prev mis no
tice, on motion of Col. Sam’i B. Hunter, Maj.
James Smith was called to the chair, and E. A.
W.lcox appointed Secretary.
The chair having explained the object of the
meeting, Col. A. P. Powers moved that they
proceid to ballot for delegates to the conven
tion to be held at MiiledgeviHe on the third
Monday in June next for the purpose of nomi
nating a candidate for Governor at the ensuing
election, which was carried—on counting the
ballots it was found that Doctor Robt. Collins,
Col. H. G. Lamar, Sam’i J. Ray, E>q., and
Gen. Wm. G. Smith were appointed Col.
Powers then moved that the chair at his earliest
convenience do appoint three from each Cap
tain’s district in this county to meet a like num
ber from the county of Twiggs lor the purpose
of agreeing upon a suitable candidate to repre
sent this Senatorial district in the Legislature,
which was carried. It was then moved that
each delegation be authorised to fill all vacan
cies that may occur, which was also carried.
On motion of Col. Hunter it wus resolved
that our delegates to the Gubernatorial Conven
tion go unpledged to any individual, but with
the b st interests of our state and party in view.
There being no oilier business before ihe meet
ing, it was then adjourned.
JAMES SMITH, President.
E. A. Wilcox, Secretary.
We suggest to our Democratic brethren of
Twiggs the propriety of appointing at as early
a day as may be convenient corresponding com
mittees ftom each Captain’s district in that
county, to carry out the proposed plan for the
nomination of a Senator to represent the dis
trict composed ofthe two counties in the ensu
ing legislature. [Ed. Telegraph.

“A 1 tuition.”
“ Some people may he deceived on the sub
ject of cheap postage, unless they lako a “ so-
| her second I bought.” A part of tnuse who are
so strenuous foi cheap protage aie not qti te so
disinterested as would at first appear. They
are seeking to pay their postage bills out of oth
er people’s pockets. Look hi this matter. I

1 have little time to write letters. My neigh

ei duties on sug r aiui other articles, that I shall
iose n great d* al more ilian I gain by this sys
tem. I shall have to help fill up the Treasury,
and thus help to pay my neighbor’s postage.—
I trust tlie ireople will not suffer themselves to
be deluded in this matter.—North American.
Such is the common set se view of the new
postage law, w Inch is taken by a common sense
and practical man. We find that ns the pro
visions of the law are m"re closely scrutinized
arid examined in reference lo its practical ope
ration—soon to commence—the more obvious
it becomes, that it is very defective in manv of
its details. All agree that reform was neces
sary—all agree that the postage should have
been reduced—hut it scents pretty clear, now,
that all this could have been done to greater
advantage by a different mode than that adopt
ed by this bill. First, all letters should have
been prepaid—the franking privilege should
have been greatly modified, and restricted to
members of Congress and others. As it now
stands, it is not improbable that it will be more
expensive and troublesome to keep the accounts
and settle them, than to have allowed the frank
ing of the mail matter in the first instance.—
Then there are objections to determining the
rate of postage by weight only, which tve will
not now specify. Bui, as we have said else
where, it is die purpose of the Postmaster Ge
neral to give the law a full and a fair trial, for
which purpose he is taking all the preliminary
steps ; and whatever defects may appear in its
practical operation, may he amended fr**m time
to time, till that degr-e of reform and perfec
tion may be attained at last, which the general
voice ofthe country d* mauds.
ElectCO-IKllffnCtiC Telegraph.
Our renders were made aware some time
since that Prof M**rse Imd devised a plan for
conducting the electric fluid across rivers by
means of the water itself. As the particulars
of this plan have not b en presented n> the pub
lic through the papers, we annex a descrip’ion
of it furnished by Prof. Morse himself to the
Secretary ofthe Treasury at Washington. But
before doing so, it may he ns well to state the
facts which led to it. In the autumn of 1842,
at the request of the Amerirau Institute, Piof.
M u- dertook to give to the people of New York
a demonstration of the prncticabil tv of his in
vention, by connecting Governor’s I-land with
Castle Garden—a distance of one mile. For
this purpose he laid his wires, properly insula
ted, beneath the water. He had just commen
ced operating, and received two or three char
acters, when li s intentions were completely
irustiated in the d struction of a part of Ins con
duct rs by u vessel, which drew them up on her
anchor, and cut them off. It was during the
subsequent night, whilst suff ring mortification
at h*s failure, that he cor ceived the plan of ar
ranging his wires along the hanks of the river
so as to cause the water itself to conduct the
• leclricity across. An experiment was made
soon after at Washington on the Canal with
success; and a series o r experimen's. made last
fall, developed the law governing the passage
of die electricity. The (ollowiii*; diagram will
explain the experiments referred to:

in the water. When tins arrangement is com
plete, the electricity generated by the battery
passes from the positive pole P to the plate h,
across the river, through the water to plate i,
and thence around the coil of the magnet E, to

general fact, I was desirous of discovering the

As the result of tlies** experiments, it would
seem that there may be situations in which the
arrangements 1 have made for p issing electrici
ty across the rivers may be useful, although ex-
peri'nee alme can determine whether lofty
spars, on which the wires may be suspended,
erected in the rivers, may not be deemed the
tnosi practical. The experiments made were
but for a short distance; in which, however, the
principle was fully proved to be correct.

Let those who will repine at fate.-

The following extract shows that, after all,
the conditions of royalty are somewhat hard.
This tiling of bring obliged to forego one’s own
taste and wi-hes, and to wed according t«» the
policy* of the State, is not apt to give us the
wisest nr the loveliest of the sex fur a wile.—
What pictures of disgust, antipathy, and con
jugal strife are furnished by the matrimonial
hi-tory of royal y! It could scarcely be oth
erwise, when we consider that the situ actions
of person, mind, and manners, form no pait of
the consideration which movt s princes, to wed.

•• Among the distinguished spectators were
the Duchess D’Aumale and the Princess and
Prince de Joinvil e. The keenest aspirer for
rank anil station, unless totally devoid of taste,
would hesitate to accept the eminence of the
voting Prince, if he were obliged to take with
it the Princess also. To be sure he would
possess a Princess of Brazil and a heap of gold
and diamonds, but with them must be included
a face, whose most prominent characteristic is
a long nose, which does not appearless long or
ugly because it is princely; a skin probably
colored hv contact with Brazilian gold ; and
a neck, which, though rivalling the swan’s in
length, certainly d'*es not in whiteness or in
grace. Her head dress of flanrng colors was
deficient in that taste, which belongs to every
French woman of the realm. The Dutchess
d’Anmale, though coming from the extreme
South of Italy, lias the complexion of a Saxon.
Her face, devoid of eolor, is deformed by a
nose, which, sympathising with her neighbor’s
in length, had apparently received some blow,
which rendered it somewhat of a pug. This is
a term I desire to use with diffidence, because
I fear it may not be often heaid at court in re

Talking- Telegraph.
The distinguished Professor Locke, of Cin
cinnati, delivered a Lecture in that city a few
days smee in which he alluded as a matter of
curious experiment to the talking Telegraph
invented by him. Tlie Cincinnati Gazette thus j
describes it : I
‘ This Telegraph does not, to be sure, arti
culate words, but it articulates the elements of |
words, viz : letters. The letters used are
those of Morse and they are made audible by i
a pip**sounding in monotone during the time of j
a dot or line executed by the proper Morse Te- I
legrapli ; but interrupted durin** the blank or I
space part of die 1* tier. Indeed, tlie Tele- j
graph exhibited, registers tlie words on paper |
at thesame time that the pipe is sounding them, I
die pipe being open and continuing to sound •'
while the style is marking tlie revolving fillet. !
Thus it will both speak and write at the same
moment.
‘Professor L. considers this invention only
as an amusing modification of Morse’s Tele
graph, by which the communications may be
ma (, e currently intelligible to u large audience,
provided they understand the Alphabet, which
becomes a kind of monotone music; the short
lines or dots being represented by short notes,
and tlie longer ones by tones more protracted.’
“An’ Cuff, will you be after tipping us a lit

BY WILLIAM C. BRYANT.
Beside tlie river of teal*, with branches low.
And bitter leaves, the funeral willows grow ;
The branches stream, like the disheveled hair
Of women in the sadness ol despair.
On rolls the stream with a perpetual sigh;
The rucks moan wildly as it rushes by ;
Hyssop and wormwood border all the strand,
And not a flower adorns the dreary land.
Then comes a child, whose face is like the sun,
Anri dips the gloomy wateis as they run,
And moistens all the regions ; and, behold !
The ground is bright with blossoms manifold.
Where fall the tears of love, the rose appears;
And where the moss is wet with friendship’s tea's.
Forget-me-not and violet, heavenly blue,
Spring, glittering with the cheerful drops, like dew.
The soul of mounters, who r.o more shall weep.
Float, swan-like, down the current’s gentle sweep,
Go up the sands that shine along its side,
And in the paradise of tears abide.
Where every heart rejoins its kindred heart.
There in a long embrace, that none may part.
Fulfilment meets desire, and that fair shore
Beholds its dwellers happy evermore.
