tjoveruor’s Anxious Friends.
The effrontery of some of the Whig presses,
the subject of the Gubernatorial nomination,
■, ret")' amusing; A body is sometimes dis-
ed to belieVe theft*. in earnest, (as ridiculous
l^ 5 their appeals, disclosing by glimpses the
psinful forebodings they feel, appear;) and at
other times, to conclude that it is all a part of
Ihe old system of facing it out, adopted at the
tim* they abandoned their principles. They
,rt a funny set, those whigs.
The following queer idea, is from a highly
re ,pscUble whig print, at the seat of Govern.
m9 r t “The people of Georgia, if we are not
srcatly mistaken, so far as the convention is
eoncorned, were mostly interested, not in get-
ting up opposition to the present Executive, but
in being distinctly and candidly informed by
j, w hy opposition to such an administration
ihould be got up at all. And this mam duly,
it saems to us, the convention has entirely over
looked.” The editor, we believe, is a strenu
ous advocate of the one term principle, in fed
eral politics, yet it seems in home affairs he
look* upon opposition to the present incumbent
of the Executive office of Georgia, as liitle
'lcji than treason. And because the Demo
cratic convention, chose to take a wider range
in their survey of the political horizon, than
th# circumscribed view he confines his vision
to it is forsooth, a crime. Some men wear
ipcctacles because they cannot see objects at a
distance; others can see distant objects, and
near ones too, without tho aid of glasses —
would tho editor place specs on the noses of
ill, to limit their vision to a few men’s notions
ef perspective 1
The Democratic convention choso to adopt
the Baltimore resolutions, in order to reiterate
their political creed to the people. A creed,
plain and comprehensive, which was sanction,
ed by the voices of a majority of the people
of Georgia, and of the whole Union,'last
fall. But because they have done so, it is
not to be inferred that the local affairs of our
own state arc lost sight of. The major in
cludes all minor propositions, as the editor is
aware, and a survey of our home affairs fol
lows as a matter of course. The reasons for
desiring to remove Governor Crawford, if the
editor will reflect a moment, were too obvious
to require a formal mention by the convention,
in consonance with iiis wishes. Tho Govern
or was looked upon by the convention, as a
very inoffensiyo individual doubtless; who in
the absence of an annual session of the Logis*
liture, would have been overlooked and almost
forgotten, but for an occasional mention of his
name in connection with a review of the volun
teer companies of Savannah and Macon, and
a distribution of vaccino matter, when tlidre is
do small pox in Georgia; but they had nothing
to do with Ills Excellenc}' as an individual.—
They only knew him as the head of a party; a
party who profess opposition to tho principles
•if the resolutions adopted by the convention.
His defeat is the defeat of that party, and
consequently the means of perpetuating those
principles in Georgia. Wc know not if this
Is good reasoning with the editor, but it Is Very
conclusive with the Democratic party, for op*
posing his Excellency.
The editor, from the tone of his article,
•tents to think that the business of tho Convcn-
lion was to have praised Governor Crawford—
hr what? Because his friends say ho has done
harm! Thoy Were expected to pat his El*
cellency on his moral head, in a paternal man.
®er, and call him a good Governor, or aft inof.
ftnsivo individual as aforesaid. This may be
in good taste with the Convention, which is to
assemble on the first Monday in July, but it Was
expecting rather too much from the ctiti of the
Kith of June, with ali deference to the opinions
*nl partialities of the Southern Recorder.
Concede to Governor Crawford, all that his
-admiring friends ask for him, and what does it
amount to? Thathchas paid the interest on
State bonds, extinguished others which
re due, redeemed a residue of Central Bank
bill*, this we believe is its head and front. To
do this he had the proceeds of reverted lands;
tha collections made from the notes due the
Central Bank, which his Excellency made
wailabl# by putting them in suit and selling the
"rnnertv of the dobtors; and a portion of the
- xe tar o two years. And for doing this,
*nich any man of small pretensions to capacity
buenefc* habits could have done, is Gover-
w Crawford to have a _f*e simple title to the
^ctuii.o Chair ? Hardly,' we reckon.

Dear Sir—The Democratic Convention as

mity made choice of yourself as’tlie candidate
of the Dbnfdcratio party for the office of GoV-
nor of the Stale, at the election in October next,
and to us has been confided lliO pleasing duty
of informing you of your nbrnmafltTn.
And whilst discharging this agreeable duty,
allow us to odd (hat considerations of high po
litical importance/ the opinions eutertained, as
we believe, by the great xtitM Of the people, of
your eminent fitness for the tiffitie, and the ex
traordinary unanimity which has attended the
nomination—all combine iti inducing us to hope
that you will not feel yourself at liberty to re
fuse the use of your name at this most interest
ing period in the history of the Republican
party.
Very respectfully, your friends,

Savannati, June 20, 1845.
Gentlemen—Your note of the 10th inst.
advising me of my nomination by the Demo
cfatic State Convention as a candidate fdr the
office of Governor, at the election in October
next, has just been received. Considerations
of high “political importance” do not leave me
at liberty to refuse the call which has been
made by the Republicans of Georgia. I there
fore accept the domination with a profound
sense of tiie hdftor it confers, and the responsi
bility it brings with iti The Republican Stan
dard, committed tempdrarily to my charge, shall
be unfurled With a confident hope that the peo
pie of Georgia will rally to its support. If,
Gentlemen, Victory perch not tin that standard
it shall nevertheless; be recommitted to those
who have entrusted it to me unstained by dis
honor. The issue tif the coming conflict will
either place our State by the side of Republi
can Virginia, or lock her in the unnatural era-
brace of Federal Massachusetts. Onward then,
my friehdsl As forfhyself, contending for the
ascendancy of Democratic principles, victory
will be hailed as truly glorious, and deffcat will
have its consolations.
Accept my thanks for the very kind manner
in which you have Conveyed to me the wishes
nfyour constituents;
Your friend and fellow-fcitizen, .

Tiie Weather and Crops.
Wc observe by the ‘‘Diary of the Wind and
Weather” of the Constitutionalist, that the
thermometer was at 100 at 1 o’clock in Augus
ta, on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, of last
Week. We observe liy the Charleston papers,
that the heat has been unusually intense in that
city. If it is any consolation, we call state that
those cities have not suffered aione, astlic citi
zens of this place have endured a degree of
heat, that is unparalleled in Uiti memory of
“ the oldest inhabitant<”
Lately We hoVe had a refreshing slioWcr oc
casionally, but we fear they came too late and
not in sufficient quantity to benefit the forward
corn. The oat crop has been a failure except
in a few favored spots, visited by partial show
ers ; and the corn has suffered very materially,
wc fear it will be scarce and high priced, in a
considerable tract of COufitry. The cotton
looks,- as it always does when the price i3 low,
very well; it has not suffered from scarcely
any of the causes tfhlfch effect it injuriously,
when the price is high. tJut its most critical
period is yet to come, and if the latter part of
the summer or beginning of the fall should be
rainy, the crop may be cut off yet; But if the
price does not advance, Ve think farmers may
feel easy about lice, rust, rot, and every other
disaster,
nOB£ COUMTEBfEiTiStt;
We copy the following from tho Augusta
Constitutionalist tif the 2Gth ultimo,- arid will
state that one of the counterfeit $100 bills on
the South Western Rail Road Bank of Charles-
ton spoken of below, has been received in a
letter by a merchant of this place, tho person
who sent it, received, it as a genuine bill.
LOOK OUT FOR COUNTERFEITS.
Extract of a letter dated
Columbus, Go. June 23, 1845.
Be on the lookout for Counterfeit $20 bills
new issue, Bank of Charleston, payable in New
York, signed by Conner, President. We ar
rested a fellow to-day who had passed several
hundred dollars of them. He also passed, or
tried fo pass $100, counterfeit South Western
Rail Road Bank of Charleston, a new plate.—
The Counterfeits are admirably executed and
were calculated to deceive, in fact it Is hard to
detect them.
Fireproof Wnre-IIou»c.
The advertisement of Mr. .Cowles, will be
see p in another column of this paper. We
have eX am ' ne ^ his warehouse, and consider it
together w/i! 1 the magnificent store house at
tached, as equaiMf not superior to any estab-
lishment of the kind we have ever seen. We
see that another fire protif ware house is buil
ding in its vicinity, and as b.'jek materials arc
lower than ever since Macon was founded,
we hope others will be induced to follow the
example. The warehouse of Mr. Cowles will
contain at least, 12,000 bales of cotton and
probably more, and will be proof against incen
diaries.
Eulogy on. Gen. Jackson.—M. Hall McAllis
ter, Esq., of Savannah, has been appointed by
the committee of twenty-eight to deliver the cu

White Slavery in Europe.
” r ' The following is taken from a late Paris
paper received by the Hibernia:
“One of the last numbers of La Lune, a
paper published in Hungary, contains the fol
lowing announcement from Wallachia:
“ To be sold by the sons and heirs of the
late Nicholas Nika, at Bucharest, two hundred
families—the male members of which are for
the greatest part laborers, locksmiths, shoe
makers, goldsrtfiths and musicians. Tlfe pro
prietor of these families will not dispose of them
in any smaller lots than those consisting of
five families, but the price is at least lower by
a ducat per head, than the ordinary establish*
ed rates, and advantageous facilities for pay
ment are tendered.”
This announcement is not, as might be sup
posed at first sight, a pleasantry; it is serious,
and whut is more, it is legal; for the Civil Code
granted in 1818, by the prince Joen Karedecli,
to the principalities of Moldavia and WallaClmf,
and which is at this day in full force and vigor,
actually sanctions this Slavery.
Thus, while the Christian natrons of Europe
are yearly expending millions in sending war
vessels to the African tio’ast for the purpose of
preventing the trade of blatik slaves,- white ones
are advertised and sold, uftder the protection of
the law, in two Christian countries,- situated in
the very interior of Europe itself.
Miscellaneous Items frftirf Abroad.
“Canal between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans.-—There seems at present some, per
haps not a remote prospect, that the long talk
ed of junction between the Atlantic' and Pacific
Oceans may be carried out. A gentleman is
at present in London, striving to interest the
great capitalists in the speculation, and as lie
is armed with the necessary powers by. tho
Mexican Government, and as money is abun
dant for all purposes which present the least
chance of a fair and safe investment; it is not
improbable that he may succeed. Joint stock
companies, for objects of quite as Utopian a
character, challenge, by their glowing and de
ceptive announcements, the reader’s attention
in almost every British newspaper. It seems
that Don Jose de Garay, with some Mexican
officers, and an Italian engineer, Don G. Moro,
have been employeJ upwards of a year in sur
veying the district of Zehuunttihee/ and that the
result of their investigations have satisfied the
great French authority, Arago, and other emi
nent scientific men in this country and on the
Continent, that the new scheme is feasible and
may be successfully carried out. Garay is*
guaranteed by the Government, for a period of
fifty years, two-thirds of the tolls arising from
the transit, commencing with the opening of
the communication between the two oceans;
and for the fourth of the receipts, which the
Government takes, theshareholdurs arc to have
an interest to the same amount for sixty years
after the expiration of Garay’s term. Breadth
of land, to the extent nf thirty miles, on each
side of the line, is ceded to him in fee simple,
with the privilege of purchasing lands, and es
tablishing colonies, to the extent ofoue hundred
and fifty miles more. This, in substance, is the
proposition which is now before the capitalists
of London, and its purport we have gathered
from a circular addressed to many of the lead
ing commercial houses.”
The following method of obtaining a literary
character) we thought was too old to excite sur
prize, but its revival umotig dramatic writers in
Paris ?cAa to create some sensation in that
metroj->ns of the world;
“A new sort of vanity has lately come into
operation. Several young and elderly gentle
men, moving.in "the fashionable circles; have
been seized with an intense desire to figure as
dramatic authors. Unfortunately, theatrical
managers have been so blind to tho merits of
their dramatic productions, that they have de
clined to accept them. The fashionable au
thors, have, therefore, hit upon the plan of fee
ing the managers to bring out tlieir pieces, and
some of them have spent large sums in that
way. In a salon, tiie other evening,- a young
married lady in a very naive manner expressed
her surprise that Scribe, the celebrated drama*
tic author, should be so rich as he notoriously
Li, when hti had had such an immense number
of pieces perform'ed at the different theatres.—
Being asked why, she replied that it cost her
husband several thousand francs to get a play
represented, and she supposed it cost Scribe
the saftiti! Thti unsophisticated little lady,- it
seems, didn't reflect that thti talent of Scribti
may be worth buying, whilst that of lifer lius*
band is not worth having, even if, and instead
of money being given for,- money is given with
it**’
Don Carlos hairingribdifeaffed—ntit the'thfoflti
—but his pretensions to it, it seems that his son
is to restore peace to distractsd Spain, by be*
coming the husband of Queen Isabella,- after the
fashion of Prince Albert. The Prince of the
Austrias thinks no dotlbt “a half loaf is bettef
than no bread” to such a loafing prince as fatoj
and circumstances have made him for many
years.-
* “The abdication of Don Carlos has treated
a strong impression in Paris that the preten
sions of the son of Don Carlo's to thti hand of
Queen Isabella trill noflr have the support of
the French Government. It is said that the
Prince of the Austrias (as he is called) has giv
«n the French Government the strongest assu
rances of his devotion te the dynasty of Lou s
Phillip® and the interests of France, and that
he has expressed the most anxious desire to
conciliate parties in Spain, atld to follow mod*
erate council*. He goes even so filf as to re
nounce all pretensions to the throne of Spaift,
as King Regent, and will be contented with the
title of tho Queen’s husband. It is thought that
the French Government will make no opposi
tion to the pretensions of the Prince of the As
turias to the hand of the Queen.” ’
The following gives an idea of the opinions
concerning our Oregon and Texas relations,
abroad.
"Correspondence of the “European Timet." "
“Paris, May 31, 1845.”
“Little has been said in the Parisian journals
during the last fortnight on American affairs;
but in the few articles that have appeared, a
ery decided opinion is expressed, that howev
er menacing the Oregon qnestion may appear,
it will be settled amicably', the United States
and Great Britain both having an immense in
terest in the preservation of peace. In one
Journal, in which this opinion is given, a deci
ded declaration is made, that the settlement, bo
it what it may, will be disgraceful to one or the
other power, both having taken such a high and
peremptory ground that any flinching will be
bas« aud infamous. But this way of viewing
•the matter is absurd and ridiculous. Granting
that tho American Gove’rnnreht may have gone
too far on the one hand, and the British Govern
ment on the' other, surely it would be making
bad worse, by adding crime to folly', to rush in
to war for a childish plinctillio’as to which shall lli y” ™ 6 inf tilei -ir>
make the first or tiie longest step towards a re- " 1 leip ' ln
conciliation. A'll sensible, all practical ni't-n,
whether French, or British, or American, with
whom I have conversed in th*s capital, and all
the ably conducted newspapers, are unanimous l
in thinking that the question can only be settled j
by mutual concessions, and that those conceS- j
sions will take place, sooner or later,- they en- !
tertain not the slightest doubt. Thti ftext arri- j
vals from America are looked forward to with |
great anxiety, as they will, in all probability,
bring the decision of the United Sliltes Cabinet
on the subject.- _
With respect to Texas thfe/c ha‘s lVeen some- utmost'
thing said, and more writteftf but all that I find ““"J.
worth noticing is a leading article in the Con.
stituiionncl of this morftiftg; The Constitution?-
nel asserts positively, oil Ihc faith of private let
ters from London, that file English Cabinet has
required Itcrnl the French Government!, in re-"
turn for the concession it has made on the right
of Siafch question, its assistance and co-opera
tion irf resisting the annexation; and fh?s de
mand/ the Constitutionne! adds, lias been acce
ded to. It further asserts, that the English rfnd
French diplomatic agents in Texas had, in the
name of their respective Governments, induced,
the President of Texas not to convoke the Con
gress before the end of the month of July, or the
beginning of August, promising him, in the
meantime, to procure the recognition of Texas
by Mexico, and the adoption by England of the
debt ofTexas, in return for a treaty to be here-
after entered into favorable to the admission of eowwarfcsiion.
English manufactures in that country. The
Constitutionnel protests with some energy a-
gainst this arrangement, and declares, that in
acceding to it the French Ministry has acted
with bad faith towards the United States Gov
ernment. It insists that France ought to have
maintained a strict neutrality in the tftaltcr, and
declared that Mr. Calhoun and the American
Ministers had counted upon that neutrality.—
It concludes by saying, that if the projected an*
nexation of Texas to the United States be pre
vented, the latter will be mucli mortified, and
will ba angry, not with England but with
France; and it severely condemns the Govern-'
ment for consenting de blesser Jrafoiidenicnt
iiitc puissance alliee de la France, el avec la-
quetle celle-ciduit conserver de luii passports
Having thus laid before you an epitome of the
article; of the Constitutionnel, I must warn you
against placing implicit faith upon its state
ments, notwithstanding the positive manner in
which they are put firth. Tne Coilstitutitirinef,-
it Is true, is what the French call un journal te-
rieuz—it is the recognized organ of M. Thiers,-
who has been a minister, hopes to be a minister
again,- is one of the most eminent political men
ofFrande, and the recognized leader of a polit
ical party. But then the Constitutionnel is so
violently anti-ministerial that it tiftcii asserts
that things are as it suspects tlie'in to be. I
don’t say that it has done so irt this case—au
edntraire, all it says m iy be true as gospel
writ; b*t with my experience of Parisian news
papers in general, and tile Constitutionnel in
particular, I had rather wait for confirmation of
what is advanced than at once express a belief
in it.”

Twenty years' .successful administration of these celt*

Thousands of both 5exes, who have been restored to health

and volumes of certified cases of cure, embrnciug every
disease in thfc long catalogue of human misery; must con
vince the most incredulous, of their suptrioritv and th#
truth of the Hygeian theory, resulting from scientific re»
search and experience, namely, that “man is subject to only
one real disease—impurily of the b!ood.' r .
The medicinfe’4 being composed entirely of herbs or ve
getable rnaftef, purify the blood, and c«rry off the corrupt
hhinors of the body, in a mauhef so simple os to give every
day ease rfhd pleasure.
Tht Hygeian medicines, first introduced into this eoan*
