Marion, Twiggs Co., May 15, 1845. In pursuance to a previous notice the Dem ocratic party met at the Court House ‘in Ala- rionc On motion, Col. Henry Solomon was called to the Chair, and William Willis appoPijt- ed Secretary. The object of the meeting be- nnia or Skunkia; Alligatorin, Gooberpeania,.; iug stated, a comm ttee of seven, to wit, W. fiifstlaj’, Hay It, 1843. The CnnitiiitffcTottSovcrnor. \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 dilections on the party, cither by iuuendo, in ifavur of any one, or by a hint unfavorable to 'ill* pretensions of another. Wc, have care- •fallv abstained from any attempt to forestall 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 *ft upon liirn, that long years of repentance »tid good behavior will be required to efface t 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 Correspondent “ Liberty County,” but with 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 es of tin ir constituent- - , and upon fit-1 consulta tion with ench other they cm select such a can didate as will unite the whole party in hi.s sup 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 gates, will indicate their will, and looking not 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 Contest, do as she lias always done before, base her conduct upon the soundest reasons and the highest interests of the republican parly. % name, dear taint, is hateful to flp*«Vse it «i« an encmy to thee.

Opossumia. Sec., Ate. We shall hear presently 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.** W.

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.

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 lic by some of the numerous admirers of the deceased.

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.

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 tire Assembly.— Boston Post. ■ TREMENDOUS FIRE IN BOSTON.

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 tion of a s atement in namphlet fmtn, with all the corres pondence, teatiluony and proofs, lean l»y the truth before it, It will at least be seen that 1 hare not a voided investigation, S.

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.
