Few persons have any idea of ti e painful, Sisyphus-like toil of a dniisiieso whose repose, flesh and liberty are sacrificed, like those of a race-horse, thut she m iy triumph. “ I have seen .M'ilo Taglio- ni,” says on- of her friends, “ fall insensible on the floor, after receiving a long lesson from her father; slit* would he undressed and carried o bed by her domestics.

This I shall seek to do on public occasions. Men are tired of this senseless noise and parade about politics; and the truth is, the people every where desire and need repose. I now promise in advance to keep a truce with the acerbity and bil- lingsgate which have unfortunately char acterised contests of late years, and stu diously avoid in any way the awakening of those strong and violent feelings which can in no event benefit us morally, sociul- ! ly, or politically. Having determined to place the con test on what I conceive lo be high and honorable ground, and the few opportu nities I shall have of meeting my constit uents of the district, I have thought it proper to give a short statement of my political faith, which I shall now proceed to do. I atn in favor of the resolutions passed at the Baltimore Conventions, which nom inated Mr. Poik, in which are set forth the Democratic principles. In relation to Texas, I hold that she can he constitutionally admitted either by Joint Resolution or Treaty ; that I should not scruple about the mode, taking the one most available. lam opposed to Internal Improvements by the General Government, such as the expenditure of vast sums of money for the improvement of rivers, digging canals, and constructing roads, &c., in every case where strictly national purposes do not warrant and demand it. Mr. Tyler de serves the gratitude of the people for the vetoof the omnibus bill, in which several hundred appropriations conld only secure a majority of Congress, by an abomina ble and disgraceful system of log-rolling which has unfortunately entered our halls ol legislation. I am a free trade man; or for fear mv meaning should be perverted I will say lam in favor of supporting the Govern ment by duties laid on foreign goods with the help of the land money. I am not in favor of n Protective Tariff) such as I take the bill of ’42 to be, but a revenue tariff fairly and impaitif.lly laid. I hold the tariff a tax, and in the language sub stantially of a distinguished statesman, that what a man labors for, is his against the world, sore the government, and against it, except to the extent of its legitimate powers, and that all beyqpid is robbery. Iam opposed to any modification of! for the flaitrrngmart the veto power in the constitution. lo J comiuued to U!C Jou , 1 sav the least of the matter, I view the | proposed change of the whigs as destruc- I tive of the just balance of power, dange- j 1 rous to tho smaller states, and entirely : j impracticable. I From Prince’s Digest, it will be seen lhe land ceded by Georgia lo the United j Stales, u^is given to the United States, as ! a common' fund to be used and appropri- ! a ted in tin other way. The intention of i the cession, is fully expressed and not left ! to conjecture to supply it. The Virginia i 1 deed of cession is nearly in the same lun- hroken and I then determined if Mr. Van Buren who was confidently expected to be the Democratic candidate should be in favor of annexation, I would support him. I now feel that I done wrong in ever de termining to support Mr. Clay at all under any circumstances, for I was truly'sur prised that such men as Slade, Seward, Webster, Cassius M. Clay, Adams, Gp<I- dings, and a host ol others entertaining views so deadly hostile, not only lo thp South but to the Republican Government, should have possessed so much of the confidence and favor of that great man. All the regret I have, that I felt con strained to separate from 111 y old compan ions, is the dismemberment of other ties which I fondly trusted would have remain ed unshaken. However traitorous my con duct may seem, 1 glory in that treason which drew me away from principles at enmity with what I honestly believe, the general and permanent happiness and in terest of the country, and placed me in the great Republican army doing l attle for the Constitution as it- is, equal laws, and the in- corporaiion of the “Lone Star” in our own glorious galaxy.

O. H. PRINCE. political canvass of the deepest interest and importance in its results, not only as regards the local interests con nected with it, but also as regards the great national qoetlinns at issue between the two public d parties of the country. We say to each individual Democrat—to every true heart ed Georgian—Is your armor bright? Are you prepared tn str ke For your allnrs and your fires, God and your native land ? Wo will not slop now to discuss the issues involved, or to show that the principles of the Democratic party of Georgia are the same for which your Republican fathers batt'ed so long and arduously in tho slorious triumphs of the past. It is .not necessary to do to. The only regret that we have is that there should be oc casion to do so at any lime, or that there^Should be two parties in Georgia on the great national questions of tho present day. Tliat there is, is not only a reproach to the spirit of her peo ple, hut dishonorable to a becoming Stale priJc, as it is detrimental to the general welfare of her citizens; and proves most conclusively, that in the mi l.-t of the same scenes that in spired tier B Idwins and her B libs, -her Jack- sons and her Troups, her Crawfords and Iter Forsyths, with tho same bright sky above her. and the same free winds sweeping over her mountains nr*d h«*r vallies. her forests and her farms, that Georgia has deteriorated more in tho spirit of her people than in any thing else. This is no unmeaning language. For in our hearts we believe that the deepest and most lasting interests ol the people of Georgia are at stake in the coming cont' st. The great questions of Texas and tho Tariff arn still un settled and open before the people of the coun try. Questions vitally affeciing the rights and interests, n iv, tlic very salvation of the South itself; and although we succeeded in achiev ing a triumph for our principles by the election of a republican President in November last, the danger is not yet over. There are still men in this country—and in the very bosom of our own State, too, as well as beyond the sea— who have lost all sympathy for free institu tions and the noble attachments felt by the patriot for “bis own, bis native land.” The present year will decide, and the coming elec tions in Georgia will have no mean influence 00 it, whether the ii trigues of ambitions poli ticians, tho fanaticism of ubolilionis's and the cupidity of English diplomacy shall triumph over American fro men, and lose us Texas— whether the Lone Siar shall ho an humble and oppressed Brush and Abolition colony, or a fargnt constellation in the gal .xy of the free States of the American Union — whether the South shall be ramparted by Texas, or become a field strewn with dragon’s teeth by English and American abolitionists, from which armed men will spring up to break down her sove reignty und destroy the substance of our p ople. It is with such results as these, that the com ing contest is fraught — results which are to affect for weal or (or woe, not only our own future destroy, but that of our children and our children’s children, and the great questions *.*f Republican freedom throughout all coming time. Solemnly convinced of the importance of the great issues involved, we venture to address ourselves m all ca idor to our Republi can brethren throughout the State, and urge them by every consideration which patriots- or Georgians can feel, to be at their posts. Know ye not that your enemies are waging the bitterest und most unrelenting warfare not only against your country but against the pe culiar institutions of the South ? Let it be re membered, too, that we can only achieve a tri umph for our principles by being united our selves, and that it is the duty of Republicans to discard all minor d fferences and personal preferences about men, for their principles, now that the period approaches for the nomi nation of a candidate for Governor. Will our friends throughout the State do so? Will they, overlooking the claims of particular* men, and the wishes of pol-tical aspirants, seek Only the triumph of correct principles? We have our preferences for men ourselves, forced upon upon us by considerations of distinguish ed pub-'ic service, high abilities, unexceptiona ble private and moral worth; and, as we think, too, ol" availability. Yet we will not stiff r them to embarrass the parly, or*interfere wilh an unbiassed expression of llm public will.— We therefore call upon our frit nds in every county in the Stale, to abstain from every thing like bickerings among themselves; and to as suage and heal any that may have already sprung up. if there is any m in, or the Irie ds of tiny mm, in the Slate, who will persis tin pressing Iris claims nt thejeoparefy of our prin ciples, he is unworthy of t.Le public confidence, unfit fur any office in the gift of a free people, and the sooner he is known the bolter. Georgia lias u far higher stake in the com ing election than the advancement of any m m. Let the Republican p 1 rty tfien, prepare to do their duty to her anJ to their country, Both demands all their exertion and entnu-siasm.— By such conduct wo can have a Democratic Governor and a majority in boll) branches of Legislature, and be able to wipe out the the di-grace inflicted upon the Sta'e by the course of Judge Berrien; by placing a fair ex ponent of the wishes of the people of Georgia, in the United States Senate. Our friends will see by glancing at the vote < f the diflVn nt counties in November last, that in several of the t Senatorial districts our majorities were trifliiii:; and if we secure all that we cau rea- so -aMy exp ct, we cann u get more than two majority in the House cu' not exceed eight or ten. The necessity, therefore,' i union among ourselves must be apparent to * very Demoer -t in the Stale. We cannot afford to lo-e a sin gle Senator or a single Representative to the I next Legislature. Let not the RapuhHeans be deceived upon this subject. Let tin m remember that the ■ Texas and oilier great questions are not yet settled. The resolutions passed by the hist 1 Congress for the annexation of that Republic, and which are now before the people of that country for accepta ce or rejection, leaves tlic final and last action upon the subject to the next Congress; and as parties are so nearly balanced in that body, the vote of on single Senator may defeat annexation and lose us 1 eras forever. If this great measure is to be defeated, in God’s name let it not be by the vote of a Senator from Georgia ! These mid a thousand other consideraiioi s should animate the Democracy with tho noblest enthusiasm and unite them as a ba' d of patriots havi g a com mon destiny rend gfory. In conclusion we would say to our. friends throughout the State, prepare for the contest put on the whole Dem ocratic armor a :d let no unworthy dissensions i disturb you rhaririony. Let uselect ou> Govern or, let us have a majority of good and true men in the next legi-lature; let us s Or tain our present Republican President; let us remember that the cause in which we tire engaged is the cause of the constitution—the cause ol our country—the cause of the South—the cause of Texas. ‘Re publicans co the rescue, and God defend the .light.’ Eiiitoriitl Change.
