\f6 have our prefdrcnce on this subject, not
h,-jsed dti any persb >al edrtsideration, however,
but on talents nnd availability. But wq are tied
'■'tnpd man. We have not obtruded oar pre

There are times when the public listen with
rfti'Msy car, to the praises of those who would
Vck its favor, an I are even charitable towards
those who hold their pretensions up to scrutiny
and comparison too severely. Out if we are
-jny judge of public feeling, this is not one of
/those times. Tbc Democratic party is evident
ly in no temper to listen to the fulsome praise,
or the envious disparagement of any man,
'whose hinny is well Known to them. If the
biisguided friends of a man desired to strew
his path with thorns, they could not do so more
efll.ctu.illy than by bepraising him in the papers
•now. And the motives of those who speak ill
of ttfot,either openly or covertly, are jealously
. sought after too, ami however dexterous ami
sly the blow is aimed, it is yet understood, and
* prejudice is raised against the one, although
not named, in whose favor it i* struck. Not
an article has nppeared on this subject, but
wlitt its tendency lus been very well under-
itond.
.. The party know the men, whose names
will be aft!-red fur their choice; they arc dis
gusted by their praise, and ’indignant at their
• nnittcblcd censure. Nor will they submit qui
etly, ai sum times they do to have any dis
traction or dissension produced in the ranks,
by petty bickerings over names. Any oie 1
who makes himself sufficiently conspicuous in
this way, to be remembered until the latter
part of dune, may be sure of not being forgot
ten afterward- - . A seal of reprobation will be

We shall be satisfied with tbc choice of the
Convention ; as in the state of feeling in the
pnpy, it cannot be an injudicious on». We
shall exert ourself for the nominee, whether
he i< our choice or mil. If he is tire choice
of the party, lie shall have our warm, earnest,
avd unqualified support. And, after June, this
will he the f - e!iug of every Democrat. The
pr*'»ent scnjnm of the chair, we think may
brace hi* girths, and poise himself for another
*hft of race than the fall race-* of 1S43. The
titifr* and feelings have changed since th It.
We appreciate the good intentions of our

every deference to his judgment, must decline
the p iblication of his communication. If not
Wore, at the meeting of the Convention the
Delegates will be en .bled to ascertain the wish

tion with ench other they cm select such a can

port. Forth n rcison this journal has careful
ly abstained from indicating its own preference
or np'-uiiirr jj s columns to the communications
others calculated to embarrass the rctioa *>f
that horty in any way, believing that the pri-
ataiy meetings of the people as they are held
throughout ih • Stale for tire selection of Dele

in men hut to principles alone, wc have felt it
our duty to practice the only course in our
opinion calculated to keep us united and invin
cible —avoiding all discussion except in the pri
mary mre?ings of the people. We take this
otfcas'on however, to assure our correspondent
d'at middle Georgia will in the approaching

her conduct upon the soundest reasons and the

that Greece and Rome nre not tlie rehl names
of those places; and that it is unfa.-lhid&dble'tQ
cull England and France by their old names.
If these gentlemen cannot live without •chang
ing the name of something, let them change
their own by an act of tbc Legislature of New
\ ork; no one can object to that certainly.
The President of the Historical Society of
New York may change his patronymic for that
of Punchinello, if he thinks it more euphoni
ous; and the ‘‘domestic corresponding secre
tary” may take that of Launcelot Gobbo, or
any other he may select, if they will only’ let
the name of our common country alone. To
change that is rather beyond their province.
Watering Places «f Georgia.
Now that the season approaches when hun
dreds of our citizens annually leave their horn's
in pursuit of health and pleasure, or both com
bined, wc think it the best service we can ren
der the State, socially as well as pccuniatily,
can we be the means in some slight degree of
checkuig that mighty tide of travel which
sweeps on from t'-e southern to the northern
nnd eastern States every summer. This habit
of our people nnd the abstraction of cupitul
which it induces is one of the most grievous
curses to the South that can well be imagined.
Few people have any idea of the extent to
which it is carried on, or the evils which
result from it. Besides impoverishing our
people, the social influences and opinions
which hive been contracted in that way, have
w.-ll nigh swept from the State everything like
individuality; and instead of tire spirit and
tone of
“ Tlie brave days of old.”
whether it be a proud or humiliating confes
sion, it is nevertheless true, Georgia has pro
bably less state pride, less individuality, than
sire had twenty years ago—certainly less than
any of tlie thirteen.” How can tins
be remedied J Certainly not by lavishing
among strangers in distant states the surplus
earnings of our industry. The interior and
upper, pnrs of this State enjoys a climate un
surpassed under flea veil, scenery unequalled,
an intelligent and hospitable population, and
watering places and other re-sorts suscep'ible
of being made equal to those of the middle
and eastern Stall s, would our own people
who seek the fashionable thoroughfares
of the north to waste their tiriie and money,
patronise them. Besides being a large annual
saving to our people, the money expfcnded in
this way will not impoverish the state, it u'ould
be left among our own citizens, and the ime'r-
coursc which would spring up between dif
ferent sections, would unite and harmo
nise us, break down all sectimril prejudices,
and build up a becoming social as well U3 state
priJc among us.
Wo have bt-cn struck with the startling view
presented on the sol ject of southern travel, in
Doctor Gregg’s essays on domestic industry.
We extract n single paragraph below, to show
the pernicious results of this system of absent
eeism to the South. Georgia as will as South
Carolina, notwithstanding the embarrassment
of her people, and the general complaint of
bard times, has contr butt d her full quota to
the enormous sum annually transferred by
the south to the north, hv absenteeism, and it
is time that she was awakened to the evil.—
Few States have more of the elements neces
sary to make them not only wealthy, but gn at,
than Georgia. And it is only because her
people have not appreciated tlie gifts which
God and her destiny have placed in their reach,
that she is not to-day one of the wealthiest
states in the Union. While the ftugal and in
dustrious New Engla ider, upon a rock on some
of bis own barren bills, will amass a fortune
by bis prudem savings and industry, many of
our people by dieir wretched economy, would
perish in the lap of abundance. Wisdom, pa
triotism, state priJe—every thing calls for a
change in these things. Let onr own industry
and places of amus> meat be patronised. The
Indiun Springs, the Warm Springs, the Mad
isan Springs, and other places of resort
in the upper part of the State are, we un
derstand, in a fine state of improvement, with
such accommodations as cannot fail to add to
tire comfort and enjoyment of visiters. Let
our citizens patronise these, instead of the
northern thoroughfares, and they will have ta
ken one important st«-p towards revivemg the
droopi g fortunes of Georgia :
•‘One would not suppose that the South was laboring un
der embarrassment, if lie were to ace tbc crowds that are
continually thronging the Northern cities and places of
amusement. 1 have heard the number variously estimated
at from 40 to 00 thousands in one summer. Taking the
lower estimate of the two, and allowing for the expc.ise of
each individual $300 (and this is certainly below tlie iiiark)
w % * shall !iave$l2.0i/0,UU0 transferred yearly from the South
to tbs North, by absenteeism. As bad «.fT as we know So.
Carolina 1° be, yet we are certain she furnishes her full
quota of this immense sum. Go where you may, in the
city or out of it—in what direction you please, and you can
scarcely set your foot into a Kail lioad car, in which you
will not find some half dozen persons from this State. The
Registry book of every fashionable hotel that 1 visited, ex
hibited a large share of names, with 6o*Ub Carolina attach
ed to them. Nor are our people remarkable for their eco :
nomical habits, as the bar-keepers will in&nn you, that
their wine bills exhibit liberality even to wastefulness.—■
You may see them too, flying around cities, in tlie finest
and most costly equipages that money can procure, and
while a millionaire of New York is content to ride in air
omnibus, from Wall Street to the upper part of the city,
many of these persons, not woith ten thousand dollars,
would be ashamed to be seen in such vehicles With tai
lors. milliners, mantna makers. Ac. these persons arc con.
aidered to have gold without measure, and it is a perfect
windfall far th»*in to meet occasionally with one. You
cannot step into a furniture store, carpet warehouse or dr
or dry :
goods establishment, where fine silks and laces are sold, .
without meeting persons from our Plate, making lavish ex
penditures ami purchasing thousands of articles of wearing
apparel.which are not worn until they return home, where I
llie same articles can be obtained in the store* of our own ,
tradesman, at cheaper rates than those ai which they were j
purchased at the North
”At one tailor's establishment in Boston, I was informed j
by the proprietor that his sc lea f»*r tlie last year, lo Charles- ,
ton alone, amounted to upwards of $50,000. and this year
he expected they would reach $80,000. How much trade
others in Boston, in the same business, receive from
Charleston, end what amount fal s to the lot of the fashion
able clothiers of New York and Philadelphia, cannot be
estimated, but there ia little doubt that the amount would
be found quite sufficient to support three Or four fashionable
establishments in our own city.**

A NOBLE SPIK1T FLED !
It is with feelings of the deepest grief that we
are called upon to record the death of William
Henry Roane, of this county We know that
this melancholy news will fill with pain hearts
ol a numerous body of friends, not only in Vir
ginia, but throughout the Union. Blessed with
•Vigorous mind, with warm and generous feel-
wiit, a keen sense of honor and love for
that tvas noble and elevated, lie has passed
through all the stages of his interesting life,
with the esteem and affectimi of all who knew
him. He has filled the career of tin honorable
ambition, with distinguished success As a
member of the House 6f Delegates of Virginia,
us a Representative rif the freople in the lower
house of Congress, and as Senator of the Uni
ted. States, he has won tire highest boners, and
’•as always returned them, untarnished and
pure, to the body o r his devoted constituents.—

produced on that body, by the eloquent and
touching, remarks of our lamented and venera
ble friend, selected, as lie was. by tho Virginia
Delegation, to cast tho vote of our State. As
a father and husband, his kindness and affec
tion were deep and unbounded—as a private
citizen, he was beloved and respected by every
one—and his death will he a source of sincere
regfet to our whole community, wh6 loved him
for his Virtues and noble qualities. He was the
son of'tile late Judge Spencer Roane—one cf
Virginia’s'brigntest lights, and the grandson of
the immbi'tal Patrick Henry.
We sincerely hope, that a full and perfect
tribute to his tttetnory will be given to the pub

deceased. These liktity and feeble remarks

by the deaiest ties, and who will never cease to
chepish the reflection of the overflowing kind-

RHODE ISLAND.
Oh Wedhestlky, Mr. Brownell, of South
Kingstown, Introduced in the Senate a general
amnesty bill, providing for the immediate and
uucondiiiooal release of Thomas W. Dorr, and
of Messrs. Bruwortli and Wilmarth, the per
sons ju.'t committed to Newport jail. The bill
restores to tlreir rights and privileges in full, all
persons convicted of treason under the act of
April, 1842, directs a not. pros, on all pending
indictments for political offences, remits all fines
and penalties incurred under tlie act, and pro
vides that no prosecution shall be hereafter
commenced for offences therein mentioned.—
The bill oid not pass the Senate on Wednesday;
there was, however, no doubt it would pass
that body, though fears were entertained as to

■ TREMENDOUS FIRE IN BOSTON.
At half past 2 o’clock, P. M. on Sunday,
a hie broke out in Mr. Nowell’s carpenter
shop, South C’dar-st., Boston, which continu
ed to rage for 3 hours, it is >aid to have orig

Mr. Nowel’s shop, to which the fire communi
cated. Two of them, named Sullivan and
xMuxwell, small lads, were arrested, but were
afterwards discharged. Luckily the tide was
up nod water was readily obtained from the
back bay; but Irom odier sources it appeared
to he deficient. Many engmes were present
front the neighboring towns' and all found em
ployment. Of the buildings destroyed nearly
nil were insured—ot' tlreir contents, nothing.
There are over one hundred Jamilies deprived
of home! The loss is upwards of $150,000.

To the Public.
I N consequence of certain false Accusations injurious to
Ere turd th? Georgia Euiscopal Institute, at the sugges
tion ofihe Right Rev. Bishop ELLIOTT, with a view to its
peace and welfare, I resigned my connection with it. Un
fair inferences having been drawn from this act, and certain
slanderous and cxaggeiated rumors having been circulated
regarding ine. without any contradiction cr effort at correc
tion being made by those authorised so to do, I demanded
of Bishop Elliott an investigation. It was decided that
that the matter should belaid before the Trustees of the In
stitution. They were summoned accordingly by the Bishop
to meet at Savanna!), on the 14th May, to inquire into the
circumstances upon which my resignation turned, arrd I was
requested to take notice of said meeting. Attire appointed
time l informed the Trustees that I was here, prepared for
the investigation, and requested to be permitted income be
fore them. After two meetings, at winch mere lacked one
Trustee to make a quorum, they adjourned sine die; and I
was informally apprised by them that the Bishop (ex officio
Chairman of the Board.) was not present, and that no charges
were preferred against me.
Protesting my entire innocence of the imputations msde
against me, I am compelled to seek some other mode of jus
tification. and in tlie mean time ask of the public suspension
of its opinion, until either by legal process or by the publica

WARM SPRINGS.
TIIE State of Georgia, deservedly celebra
ted for the fertility of its soil, the richness and
abundance of its mineral ores, its stupendous
cataracts, and beautiful mountain scenery; can
also boast the most valuable, mineral fountains
on the face of the Globe.
This is no vain boastinc; a distinguished gentleman,or.o
who has travelled extensively in foreign lands, assures us,
that, while in England and on the Continent, he visited the
most celebrated watering places, that he saw not one on
v(hich Nature had been so prodigal of her gifts, as those
bestowed on the Warm Springs, in Meriwether County,
Georgia.
This truly wonderful natural curiosity, nnd delightful
Summer retreat is situated on n spur of the Pine Mountain,
thirty-six miles north of the city of Columbas. A fountain,
gushing forth per minute, fourteen hundred gallons of crys
tal water of DOS Temperature, is indeed a rnre curiosity*—
Its virtue however, of curing diseases, which have defied
the skill of the most eminent Physicians, seems still more
wonderful.
The ingredients of the water as ascertained by accurate
analysis fcfe—quantity one wine pint, or 88.875 cubic inches
—specific gravity 0.991—distilled water being 1.000. GAS
SES—Carbonic tlcid gas. 9 cubic incites.—-Sulphurate of
Hydrogen, a trace—^^olid contents; Carbonate of Lime, 1
grain—Carbonate of Iron, 3, 5. grains—Carbonate of Mag
uesia, 10 09.—The temperature of the Water, Winter and
Summer. 90 degrees.
The certificates of Judge Stocks of Greene. Mr. Carey of
Columbus, and others, who have experienced its beneficial
effects, and the opinions of such Physicians as Boswell nnd
Hoxey, should satisfy the most sceptical of its healing prop
erties.
As a resort for him, who already enjoys the blessing of
health, arfd who chooses, during the sultry rummer months
to lay aside the duties >f his avocations, to travel in search
of pleasure, in a-healthier and cooler clime, there are but
few places in America, where he con find cooler breezes,
more picturesque mountain scenery, a greater diversity of.
amusements, or mofe refined society, and not one where he
can enjoy the luxury of warm bathing to atith perfection as
at this favored sput.
The subscribers having become the exclusive proprie
tors, are permanently located here; they beg leave to assure
thoso who mav honor them with a visit, that all their cner-
{ gies will be Directed to anticipate the tastes and comfort of
nd G. R- ; their guests. The Hotel is open during the whole year. A
Post Office (mail tri-weekly) is established here—and a
large assortment of goods kept. Since last scasn., extensive
improvements have been made, ami the whole place pre
sents a new and beautiful appearance. Passengers from
Alabama. Madison or Griffin, will meet with no delay, as
hacks are always in readiness at Greenville to carry them
to the Springs. A tri-weekly line of Stages runs from Co
lumbus here during the summer.
