CIIA PPEIiL,, Of Dims. rue District Attorney in 1827. 0 ( „ rc adcrs will find in this number, the of Richard W. Habersham, addressed C llt»ry Clay, then Secretary of State under { jihn Q** nc y ' ldams > resigning Iiis office of District Attorney when instructed to prosecute ^ surveyor? of the Creek Innds, dated Feb- ^ v 18-8; and also the correspondence bc- tween Matthew Hall McAllister, and Richard Habersham, dated August, 1834, relative Mr. McAllister’s acceptance of that office. \ bare publication of these letters, so that the reader may have the whole subject before him, a triumphant defence of Mr. McAllister Gainst the reckless slanders and inuendocs of £ Whig presses, which are growing desper ate with their declining fortunes. What is the charge aga inst Mr. McAllister? That he accepted an office under John Quincy Adams, which had been resigned by Mr. Hab ersham. If any criminality is inferred from the fact of his accepting the office, which he utter sought, from Adams, then Mr. Habersham is not guiltless, as he held the same office under the same President for nearly two years previous to his resignation; and even air. Clay, whose orthodoxy no Whig disputes,wnsntf/ia/ time a confidential cabinet officer of Mr. Adams. But this is not *1*° burden of the charge; it is contained in a base inuendo, to wit: air. Haber sham resigned his office, rather than prosecute the land surveyors of Georgia; and subse quently the office was tendered to and accept ed by Mr- McAllister; and from these facts the Whigs are endeavoring to create the im pression that Mr. aicAHister accepted tho office under the condition that be was to act against his native State, inr arraigning its surveyors, which Air. Habersham, had refused to do.— That this insinuation is utterly without foun dation ; nay, as false as all the hopes of tho Whigs, and mnny of their assertions, the cor respondence proves, as we shall see presently. Here is an extract from the letter of Mr. McAllister; the same charges were made when lie was a candidate for thu Legislature in 1834, and in this letter, written at that time, he ex plains them, and appeals to Mr. Habersham for the correctness of his statements. «It is in the course of the present canvass charged upon me, that I accepted the office of District Attorney, with a view or under a pledge to prosecute the surveyors of those lands lying within our jurisdictional limits ir. the occupan cy of the Indians. This we bo’h know to be untrue. .The office was accepted by me, after consultation with yourself, under the belief, that during the interval that had elapsed since roar resignation, circumstances had occurred which rendered it improbable that the duty of prosecuting the surveyors would be exacted from your successor. You cannot fail to rec- ollect' my declaration, that no inducement could urge mo to prosecute the surveyors or take the office, pledged to the performance of such ungracious duty. Subsequent to this in terview, a letter of acceptance was penned by me, submitted to and revised by yourself, the ttrms of which wo deemed such as to authorize my instant resignation of the office, if called on to prosecute the surveyors.” Here we see the case stated by Mr. McAllis ter: first, that circumstances hnd occurred since the resignation of Mr. Habersham, which nn- dered it improbable that the duly of prosecu ting the surveyors would be exacted from his successor Second, if that ungracious duty was required of him, his “instant resignation’ icould be the consequence. And third, after tonsuiting generally with Mr. Habersham as to the propriety of his accepting tho office, he wrote Ins letter of acceptance, with the above condition, which was “revised and examined” by Mr. Habersham. This is Mr. McAllister’s statement. All that we want now, is to know if Mr. Habersham will testify to its truth. If he will, tho matter is at an end, and tho great bugaboo of fhe Whigs will be disposed of as quietly, as the people will dispose of them in October. Well, here is the evidence of Mr. Habersham, in an extract of a letter in reply to the above. “ You say ; that it has been charged upon you, that you accepted th office of District At torney with a view, or under a pledge to prose cute the surveyors of those lands, lying within our jurisdictional limits, in thn occupancy of the t’ldians.’ And to enable you to refute this charge you call upon me 'ns the friend with whom you advised t*t that period,’ and you re, for me to certain facts within your knowledge os full proof that the charge is unfounded; and you ask me to confirm tho truth of those facta. I recollect all the circumstances which you state in your letter, and believe that you have stated them correctly. The conditional letter of acceptance to which you refer, was examin ed and revised by myself, and I have no rea son to doubt, was scat without material altera tion.” Mr. Habersham,* it appears, recollects all the dwcumslanrcs staled in Mr. McAllister’s letter, and believes them to be stated correctly. What has Whig ingenuity to suggest now? They have invoked Mr. Habersham, a witness whoso h'uth no one of any party doubts—tho whole trial hinges on his evidence, and behold! Mr. Habersham proves their libellous accusations *° he falsehoods. Tho whole of Mr. II's. letter is to be seen 1,1 another column. Wo publish it entire; and die principal portion of it although irrelevant inis subject, pefers to a period of partj’ histo- that must make the blood tingle in every "h'g cheek that has not forgotten how to blush a ‘ its own shame.* lie speaks of “Slate intcr- po^dion, to prevail the operation of an uncon- i,l, alional lair," and such a law es li/s own lion e 't voice was raised against in tho National Legislature in 1S42—and where arc his party friends now? Advocating thut “unconstitu tional law’’ ! mourning over tl.o lost batlle- ficld of tlic father of the American swindling system! If Mr II. had been spared to bis coun try, would he now act with such a party 1 His whole history spurns the idea of such apostacy. He would, in the generosity of his nature, have forgotten the excited feelings of1834, and been now, like Chappell, by the side of McAllister and those who indignantly straggle against un just burdens heaped on his native State by par- tfal legislation. ^ But our object has been to correct tne shame less slanders of the Whig press in this indi vidual case, and not to moralise on their political reprobacy. That were a bootless task. Yet one cannot but wonder at seeing their effrontery. A Whig paper of this place in speaking of Mr. Habersham’s resignation, says, “His patriotism and State pride revolted at the' idea of consorting with, and aiding and counselling those whe wero openly arrayed against his native State.” “Consorting with” whom ? John Quincy Adams and his Secretary of State, Henry C ny, of course. The former is a leading member, the most prominent in the House, of the editor’s party, and the latter its idol! And although he now talks of the jus tice of Georgia’s removing the Indians from her limits, how he “drank in,” to use his own ecstatic language at the time, tho words of the great man, as he denounced the treaty as “con ceived in fraud and extorted by violence," from the eastern pertico of the court house in this city last spring year! "Since writing this article, we bare seen in tbe Savan nah Georgian, the letter or Mr. McAllister to Mr. Haber sham, which we also insert in our columns. In complete the correspondence, although like the latter portion of the letter of Mr. H. above referred to, it ia a recital of the pol itics of a subsequent peiiod. Obsequies to «Jjc Memory of Jfuctison. Before we shall issue another number of our paper,the day appointed fur paying appropriate honors to the memory anu exalted virtues of the illustrious dead, will have passed. By the progamme which we subjoin below, it will bo seen that Tuesday next, the loth instant, is the day appointed by the committee of arrange ments in this city, for delivering the eulogy on the character and services of ExP resident Jack- son. We hope it is not too much for us to ask of our fellow citizens of the city and country> of every shade of political opinion, to meet on that day—at least as American citizens. Let the bitterness of parly animosity and political warfare for once be calmed. Let the crl’urs of the deceased, if he had any, be forgotten—and while the gratitude of millions of freemen is rendering a heartfelt tribute to the character and virtues of the mighty dead, and spreading before the living generation, like moving sha dows, images which invest his deeds with a local reality for their example and emulation —let there be none found among us so base,so sacrilegious as to disturb the ashes of the hero in the silent sanctuary in which they now repose. Let the day be observed by our citizens in a manner becoming themselves and the occasion. Let the skres of our merchants, the banks> and the usual places of business of our citizens generally, be closed during the day. On occasions such ns that of which we are now speaking, it is not for the poor purpose 6^ gratifying any vain priJe that the living should come up with offerings to the memory of the distinguished deal. It is that they should read much of their own destiny and duty in the elo quence which is inspired by the example of a well spent life.- It is that their hearts may be awakened by a nobler enthusiasm for virtue— that their aspirations for an honorable and ex tended fame may be more exalted—that their patriotism may bo touched by a purer and ho lier flame, and that every incentive to human virtue or human wisdom may have its full play in forming national and individual character among us; for surely no one has done all his duty, if there remains one lesson calculated to give a nobler impulsion to theso which has not been appropriated. For ourselves, allbough we have always dissented from the political opinions and maxims of Mr. Clay, and other distinguished gentlemen of the opposition^ wc have always honored them as Amer icans.- We admire their transcendant abilities; llicir fame and their genius arc the property of their country and mankind, and wc are proud, of our share in the common inheritance. And Lhould wc survive tho day that calls them hence from their earthly renown, wo will unifo our humble tribute with those of our fellow citizens in paying such honors as their virtues and ser vices deserve at the hands of their country men. It is in the same spirit that we invite our fellow countrymen to come up on the 15th. We do not ask them to join in unmeaning pa geants, to honor the living, but to testify their love for the virtues and memory of the dead. Honor* to the illustrious Dead.

Last Friday being the -1th of July, tiint great national holiday was celebrated by the military and our citizens generally, in a respectful and becoming manner. At sunrise the day was announced by a national suluie at the court house square. The Sunday Schools of the different churches assembled at an early hour at.the Presbyterian church, where an appro priate address was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Branham. At 10J o’clock, the Macon Volun teers, Capt. Holmes, and tho Floyd Rifles, Capt. Ross, assembled on Third street, where the line of procession was formed,, and pro ceeded from thence down Mulberry and Second streets to tho Presbyterian Church. After at* impressive prayerby the Rev. Mr. Stephens, the Declaration of Independence was read by S. M. Strong, Esq., and a chaste, ingenious, ani mated and ably written oration delivered by Samuel R. Blake, Esq. But while wc say this, we must be permitted to disapprobale most heartily some of the views advanced by the orator. They were illy suiteJ to this meridian, and indeed to any me ridian south of toe federal schools of Massa chusetts. i he time has been when such doc trines would find little response south of Ma son and Dixon’s line. They are unworthy of us here in Georgia now. After tlte address was delivered, the milita ry returned to their respective parade grounds and were dismissed until three o'clock, when they assembled at the Floyd House to partake of a dinner which had been prepared for them by Mr. Newcomb, the excellent landlord of that establishment. The day passed off finely, may its return to the la'cst lime find us still and free peofde, renewing our pledges to sustain our glorious free con -titution and laws:—join ing in heartfelt thanksgiving to the great ruler of the universe, for tho national blessings we enjoy—aiding the cause of education, and pro moting the dissemination of useful knowledge throughout our borders. Let our ent.-rprise take its pathway across the world, “ovcf the land and over the sea,” and may our people continue to possess an abundance of the good things of this earth with civil and religious freedom—free as they are to-day to enjoy “life v liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Esto perpetua. TIjc State Government. Much credit is assumed by the friends of the present Executive Magistrate, for his skilful management of the affairs of State, especially in matters respecting the finances. They have not had the kindness, however, as faras we have seen, to favor the public with a single measure recommended by him, adopt ed by the Legislature and carried out by him, by which the credit of the State has been ele vated, or its fiscal condition improved. They have not shown that the finances of the Slate were not sound on the day that he took the oath of office. That he may have awarded to him all tho credit to which he is entitled; and that others may have the share of praise to which thteir acts entitle them, we propose to pre sent in a few consecutive numbers of our pa per, n view of his administration and that which preceded it. This can best bo done, perhaps, by giving such a history of both, as will be sustained by indisputable facts and au thentic documents. It will be remembered that for years before the first of November, 1839, the period at which the last Democratic administration com- mcnced, the taxes had been reduced, and first a part, and then tho whole, bad been given to the counties. The.,effect of this policy was to burden the Central Bank with the support of Government, and also with tlic expense of ev ery public measure which requited funds to execute if. The amount of money which was drawn from that institution for different objects, we shall show in some one of our future num bers. Before Governor McDonald assumed the duties of the Executive chair, the credit of the State had Been prostrated by the protest of a debt of $300,000 due by the Central Bank of Georgia to the Phccuix Bank of New York This prostration of the Slate’s credit was per mitted by a Whig administration of the Central Bank. The following are the remarks of Gov. Gilmer in his last annual message to the Legis lature (see Jour, of Senate, year 1S39, page 24,) “I must content myself with reminding the Legislature that whilst, for several years its appropriations have been greater than the treasury could pay, the general annual taxes which belong properly to the Treasury have been given away to the counties, and of what is still more importance to be remembered that the credit of the State has been sacrifi ced, and its character disgraced by the protest in another Stale of a debt of three hundred thousand dollars, contracted bi/ the Central Bank under the authority of the Legislature and which the Legislature has prevented the Banl; from paying when due, by requiring that its means should be applied to other purposes. Such was the ^oiyjition of the Treasury and the inauspicious slate of pubfic credit, when Governor McDonald entered upon his admin istration. FLORIDA. On Monday 23d ult., the first session of the Legislature sf the new State of Florida assem- bled at Tallahassep. The inauguration of Gov. Moseley took place on the 25th. On Monday the 1st inst. tho election for two U. S. Senators took place, which resulled in the choice of Hon. David Levy, a representative in the last Con gress from that territory, and James D. West- cott, Jr. The vote on joint ballot stood for Levy, (dem.) 41; for "Westcott, (deni.) 41; for Hernandez, (whig) 1G; for Morton, (whig) 1G. The claims of the lion. John Branch and \V alker Anderson, Esq., both democrats, were strenuously pressed by their friend*?, and their nomination was only defeated by three votes, having been for Levy and Westcott, 20—For Branch and Anderson 17. “ The Name of (he Democratic Nominee.— McAllister is the candidate of the aristo cratic “ cliques’’ that control Democracy. A ha J name—a worse man. »V e dont think that a Mac will do for Governor; we have tried one, and let the ruined credit of our State and the high taxes paid by our people, answer for their ability and Integrity. But tho great est objection is to the man—a greater aristo crat never lived. lie never had a sympathetic feeling for the people. He belongs to that ciass in Savannah known as “ Swelled Heads,” who. think the up-country people no better than brutes ; and is he the man to be honored with the Gubernatorial Chair? Why, it will kill him to live as far in the back woods as Mdledgeville. He never will stand these •* up country crackers.” If you will move the State House to Savannah, and furnish him with wines of the different brands, he may make you a jolly Governor, but if you put him at Milledge- ville and give him “ bald face” to drink, he can not stand it ; his aristocratic blood will curdle, and lic*\vill be a dead'man in less than six months. The city will never be reconciled to the country, nnd hence JZfic can never stand the people of the up- country.” The above is from the Athens Whig. The time has been in this State, and we trust that the sentiment has not died out in the iand, when such silly charges as those contained in ’the above paragraph against Mr. McAllister, would be esteemed degrading in a political opponent by every educated and high minded man. They are unworthy the editor of the Whig; they are unwoghy of our State, and are a just reproach to the cause he advo cates, desperate as that is. The spirit display ed in these remarks is certainly eminently filled for happy association with the star-gemmed beauties of the chaste and classic pen ofBrown- low of the Jonesborough Whig, but arc in de cidedly bad taste, we think, in the editor of any respectable paper of the party claiming all the “Jeccncy and all the talent.” But drowning men will catch at straws, and vituperation must be usei when there is no argument, by* a party who see the handwriting on the wall foretelling their doom. Texas ami H2cxico. . We have no later accounts of importance from these Republics. From the Picayune of the 2J inst, we clip the following account of a revolution in Tabasco: By the Mexican schooner Alrevida, Capt. Sanchez, ar rived yesterday from Campeaclty, we learn from that a revolution broke out at Tabasco on llte 12th June which resuited in the overthrow of the constituted authorities and Central system. But lew particalars have reached us. hut from a letter received by a highly respectable commercial house here, we learn that the garrison at Tabasco, headed by Gen. Martinez and Cols. Montero and Bruno, declared in favor of the Federal Government and for the authorities that fig ured in 1804, with the exception of Santa Anna, who put down said system at that time. They were successful in the movement, meeting with little or no opposition. The people remained quiet, hut the commercial community were dissatisfied with the movement, fearful of its conse quences aud of the losses they might sustain. Since the above has been in type we have received the gratifying intelligence of the pas sage by both Houses of tho Texan Congress of resolutions accepting tiie terms of tho joint resolution of the United States Congress for the annexation of that Republic. A res olution was also passed requiring the Execu tive to surrender all posts, navy yards, bar racks, &c. &c M to the proper authorities of the U. S. Government. President Jones is pledg ed to give full and immediate effect to these acts of Congress, so far as depends on himself, so* that llte great event may now be regarded as consummated, and the two Republics united will henceforward tread the road of freedom and greatness together. We have barely room to-day for this announcement and to congratu late the republican party and the country gen erally upon the final consummation of this great and glorious achievement. DEiflOCRA'irac MEETING. We have been requested to call a meeting of the Democratic party of the city and county, at the court house in this city on tiie first Tues day in August, for the purpose of nominating candidates to represent the county in the House of Representatives in the next Legislature, and also to nominate county officers. Let ev ery Democrat attend. Death of Gcu. Jolm is. Datrson, Gen. John B. Dawson, late member of Con gress from tho State of Louisiana, died at his residence near St. Francisville, in that State, on the 26th ult. In the death of Gen. Daw son, that State has experienced a heavy ca lamity. Ha was an able and enlightened mem ber of Congress, a pure republican of the Jef ferson school, a polished chivalric, and high- minded gentleman, and his place cannot easily be filled. Peace to his ashes. Arrival of the Arradln. Tlic steam packet Arcadia, Capt. Harrison arrived at Boston on Thursday last, at 11 o’ clock, P. M., in a few hours over 13 days from Liverpool. The news by the Arcadia is bar ren of much general interest, The Maynooth Grant bill, has passed into a law. ^The Irish Colleges’ bill will most probably pass the House ot Commons. Trade in all its depart ments is represented as in a most flourishing condition throughout the United Kingdom. In the early part of June the Cotton Market ex perienced, a decided, but it has turned out to be only a momentary check’ upon tlic arrival at Liverpool of the last Boston steamer. But it rallied again after a few days of quietness, to former quotation s. Steamboat Explosion and Loss of Life The steamboat Marquette, of Mobile, as she was backing out from the wharf on New Levee, at New Orleans, on the J -t inst., burst her boilers with a most terrific explosion, causing tho death of. several of the passengers and hands on board. Among the former were a number of ladies from Mobile.

Messrs Kellt, Fudge, & Rogers: tiei.t: Your note of the 1st inst. has tjeen received, in which you inform rue, that at a meeting ol the Democratic party of Houston county, held m Perry on that day. I had been nominated one of the candidates, for the representa tive branch of the ensuing Legislature. This honor, gen tlemen. was unexpected, and I assure you wholly unsolicited on my part. I had not suffered myself to hope that the Demoeraticf party of Houston county, numbering in its ranks so many men ’-good and true,” would have selected me, (comparatively a stranger) to have been one of its standard bearers in the approaching canvass. Having so recently re tired from a heated and excited campaign of two years in Bibb county, I hnd hoped that my frieuds in this county,- would hue (Vtmilted me to return to a private’s rank, where I have ever been, and am still willing to do battle for the advancement of tliecnuseof Democracy. This nomination, gentlemen, 1 assure you hns placed me truly in a very delicate and unenviable position. If I re fuse the nomination. I risk incurring the displeasure of ma ny of my best political friends, perhaps of tl.o whole party in the county, (if, as you inform me my nomination was unani mous) and it may be I shall be charged with selfishness, and treating with great disrespect the wishes and feelings of those nominating me. On the other hand, should I aeceptl should not only be acting contrary to the advice, but para lyze the friendship, and hazard the respect and good opin ion of many, very many of my personal friends and rela tives, by whose counsels I have ever found it a part of wis dom to be guided, and to whose aid and influence I owe much c try mnefi of my success in life; again, I have never known a man’s private interests advanced by withdrawing ‘from them his attention and energies, and applying them to promote public and party interests. Years of arduous toil, frequently are necessary to repair the breach made in a man’s private fortunes by one year’s injudicious intermed dling with politics. Tiie truth of this l have lelt forcibly, and am fully satisfied that in my short public and political career I have been injured more than my country has been benefited. The maxim. ;tbat “ a man should sacrifice all for party and country," does well in theory but cannot hold good in practice. Here gentlemen are substantial reasons in either view of thfl Case, urging me to act. Letme decide as I may, I fear I snail not come ofl’unscathcd, and uncensured. Iiut, when domestic relations, and considerationsoff duties to home and relatives are brought in contact with those of party, I must permit the former to take precedence of the latter, i, therefore, after returning, through you, to the Democratic party of Houston county my heartfelt gratitude for the hon or intended me. most respectfully decline the nomination. I trust I shall not be charged with embarrassing the ac tion of the party, by not acceding to their wish, and suffer my name to be placed before the people as their candidate. To all who have approached me upon the subject, I have been invariably explicit and prompt in rejecting all solicita tions; and after giving my reasons for this course, X have as invariably informed them that the sacrifice asked of me was too great, and that I could not at this time, under the most favorable circumstances; accept a nomination. I shall not be an idle spectator in the approaching election, but shall contribute as “liberally as my abilities will permit” to the success cf the Democratic candidates, whomsoever they may be. I remain gentlemen with great respect, Your obedient servant, TIMOTHY M. FURLOAV. To Jaxes M. Kellt, Solomon’ Fudge, & 8. Rogers, Esqrs.
