' e crowded out several articles pre-
• l his day’s paper, to make room for
■ an, l eloquent eulogy of Mr. Secretary
“It is unnecessary to reproduce them here;
we will state their substance fairly. We said
then, that Great Britain had a right to advise
Texas to national independence—that Mexico
had a right to acknowledge the independence
of^Tcxas, with the condition proposed, that
Texas should maintain her nationality—that
Texas had a right to accept tlie proposition of
the United States to be annexed to them or re
ject it—that she had a right, pending the prop
osition to seek a recognition of her independence
by Mexico. These are the statements in our
article referred to, that in the opinion of tlie
Telegraph convicts us of being reached by his
charge of opostacy to republican institutions,
&C. We ask the editor of the Telegraph, if
the United States, believing her interests would
be advanced by it, hail a right to propose to
Texas to be annexed to themselves, or for the
same reason had a right to propose to her a sep
arate national existence? We presume that
the Editor admits llio sovereignty of England
as well as the United States. H e then ash
him if Great Britain, believing her interests
would be advanced by it, had not a right as
well as the United States to propose to Texas
to be annexed to jier dominions, or, for the
same reason, propose to her a separate national
existence ?”
This is a statement of the editor’s position
made out.by himself‘‘fairly.” lie recognizes
the right of Great Britain to propose for Tex.
as “ a separate national independence” in de
spite of the wishes and pending the negociations
of the United States, and even to annex the
young Republic to the British dominions, ifsho
(Great Britain) ‘‘believing her interests would
be advanced by it.” This would be strong
ground for even the London Times, the official
organ of the British ministry to assume, but for
a press in the very midst of us, one that profes
ses attachment and veneration for our country
and her sacred institutions to take such a posi.
tion indicates a mania far worse than “Quixotic.”
Are the manifestoes of our Government to
be looked upon with no consideration or re
spect ? Are her solemn declarations to he trea
ted as idle chatter by her own citizens? if so,
then England may annex not only Texas, hut
the states with impunity. We call the atten
tion of the Courant to the declaration of the
United States in 1825, which is the sentiment
of our people as well as the permanent policy of
our Government. Mr. Clay was then Secre
tary of State, to wit:
“That they (tiie United States) would permit
no ulterior colonization in an}' part of the con
tinent l>y European powers; that they should
consider any attempt on the part of llioie pow
ers to extend the system of national interfer
ence to any portion of this hemisphere danger
ous to their peace and safety, and any interpo
sition, by any European power, for the purpose
of controlling itjany manner, the governmen ts
of America which had established their inde
pendence, would be considered as the manifes
tation of an unfriendly disposition toward the
United StatesS’
The Democratic Press with very few ex
ceptions at the North as well as at the South,
expressed their indignation at the interference
of Great Britain in the affairs of Texas. In a
spirit of the noblest patriotism, they rose supe
rior to all sectional prejudices and treated the
question in its national bearings. The few
patriotic whig papers at the South, who had
tiie manliness to raise their voices in defence
of their country in the same way, have been re
monstrated with by the Courant in a former
number. Yet this same paper becomes in
dignant at the charge of its being wanting in
true American feeling. But suppose that
England has the right of interfering with the
internal policy of the Governments of our con
tinent, in the manner practiced by Capt. Elli
ott and conceded by the Courant, every loyal
Editor in her realm may shed his last drop of
ink, and join the Courant in her defence ; but
it does not follow that the United States have
not also a right to take such interference as
manifesting an unfriendly disposition towards
her, which she is bound to repel from her policy
which is declared in the extract above.
A few words more and we will close the
controversy with the Courant—it is unprofita
ble—ho cannot convince us, ar.d we have no
particular desire to proselyte him. The charge
of “ youth and zeal” which the editor has
thought proper to make against us, we will not
pretend to palliatu or deny—fur it is no crime ;
if we are young we may content ourself with
llio reflection that age no more than youth docs
not always confer wisdom, while we hope that
we may not be of that number, who remain
obstinatoly stuphl in spite of experience—who
cannot plead the excuses of youth for their er
rors, if the knowledge which mature years
should bring bo wanting, or the opportunities
which they afford for improvement be neglect

The subjoined extract is from the eulogy of
Mr. Bancroft (Secretary of the Navy) on Genl.
Jackson, delivered from the steps of the capitol
in Washington. As an officer of the Presi
dent’s cabinet, his sentiments arc full of mean
ing on this subject, at t!iis time.
‘•The discharge of the debt brought with it, of necessity,
t> great redaction of public burdens, and brought, ofneces
sity. into view, tlie question how Tar America should follow,
of choice, the old restrictive system of high duties, under
which Europe had oppressed Atnericapor how far she
should rely on her own freedom of enterprise and power, de
fying the competition, and seeking the markets, and recei-
vinj tin-, pr.i.tuc's of the world.
The mind of Jackson on this subject reasoned clearly,
and without passion. In the abuses of the system of reve
nue by excessive imposts, be saw evils which the public
mind would remedy; and, inclining with the whole might of
liis energetic nature to the side of revenue duties. lie made
his earnest but tran>iuil appeal to the judgment cf the peo
ple.
The portion* of country that suffered most 5cverely from
a system nf legislation, which, in its extreme character as
it then existed, is now universally acknowledged to have
been unequal and unjust, were less tranquil; and rallying
on the doctrines of freedom, which inaiJe our goremmem a
limited one, ihey saw in the oppressive nets an assumption
of power which was nugatory, because it was exercised, as
they held, without authority from the people.
And below we give an extract from the
Washington Union, containing a letter from
R- J. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury', and
call attention to the words which are in capitals
THE REVENUE STANDARD.
The following extract appears in the “Mississippian” of
the 1.8lb June, an able paper published at the city of Jack-
son, in tlie Stale of Mississippi. It is in unison with Mr,
Bancroft's speech:
“LETTER FROM HON. R. J. WALKER.
“Extract from a letter to the senior editor of the Missis
sippian, dated June 5th. 1845.
‘•It would be impossible for me to give you any adequate
conception of tlie labors of ibis office, (•Secretary of the
Treasury) suffice it to say, I never have any leisure. At
present, my chief occupation is with the details of the tariff.
It must nit rkduced to the revenue standard.
“I do hope and trust our friends in Mississippi will not

' “R. J. WALKER."
Honours to tlie Illustrious Dead*
To embalm the memory of the illustrious
dead—to hold up their exalted virtues and
public services for the example and emulation
of the living—to record their noble deeds and
celebrate their praise has been tho custom
ofevery enlightened age or nation from the ear
liest times. The practice has been me 3; univer
sal and honorable as it must bo grateful to tho
feelings of every civilized people. In non
conformity' with this usage and the un iversal
sentiment of the American people, this day has
been set apart in this city for rendering appro
priatc honors lo the memory of ex-President
Jackson.
We cannot publish a notice of tho ceremo
nies to-day, but will do so in our next, satis,
fied at present with the remark which we are
proud to make for ourselves and in behalf of
the city, that the proceedings have been
alike honorable to our citizens of both
parties. Animated by the noble liberality and
generous patriotism which should always dis
tinguish Americans, all have joined in strew
ed upon the tomb of the conquerer of the con-
querers of Napoleon, the cypress with the lau
rel wreath. ^

tion of integral powers which will prove over- j
whelming to the enemies of our political pi rn- 1 -
ciples. _ ;
To effect this purpose, so dear to the heart :
of cvfry true Democrat, tve respectfully tc- ,
commend to our friends to take tlie following i
measures, with energy and dispatch :
1st. To hold public meetings and organize j
the parly in each county, by tho appointment ]
of a Central Committee of Vigilance, at or ,
near the Court House town, and a sub coin-
inittce in each district of the county.
2d. That these committees be chosen of ]
men having the influence and the confidence of
the paity ; and that it be a part of tlie duty of
the Chairman of the Central County Commit
tee, 10 correspond with the undersigned—sta
ting the condition and prospects of the cause,
and giving such other information as it may he
useful to the general good to know, anil in or
der that we may perform tiie same office, and
keep the Central Committee at Milledgeville,
advised of the state of the District.
3d. That the committees be constituted
working committees, and that their most as
siduous labors be directed to the composing of
jealousies and disputes for nominations to the
Legislature and oilier offices, and that the mor
al power of (he Democratic parly, be every
where invoked to frown down, and lo put
down, all attempts by aspiring individuals, to
make the great and common cause of principle,
subservient to their ambition. The idea can
not he too strongly inculcated that he who does
most for, and makes the largest sacrifices lo
the cause, is the most deserving of the honors
of the party ; and thgt offices belong to the peo
ple to bestow and not lo individuals to claim.
We dwell on this recommendation, because wc
believe ik most important. A restless or in
ordinate ambition in a few men in a few strong
Democratic counties, might prove fatal to the
cause. We therefore earnestly recommend
the avoidance of double tickets, tlie healing of
all strifes and jealousies, and the presenting of
one bold, undivided, and triumphant front to
the enemy.
With the committees to he appointed—with
our political friends generally', we invite a cor
respondence, and candid advice. We shall
shun no labor that cun be put upon us, and
cheerfully yielding our efforts to the woik of
answering letters—giving and receiving infor
mation and counsel—it will not be our fau’t if
the 21 Congressional District do not prove the
grave of Federal Whigism in the Ides of Octo

TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
TIIE SECOND .COISRESSIONAL
DISTRICT OF GEORGIA.
Fellow-Citizens—The Democratic Convene
lion which lately convened at Milledgeville,
terminated its patriotic labors, as you know, by
the nomination (unanimously concurred in) of
Matthew Hall McAllister, of Chatham,
as the Democratic candidate for Governor.—»
Tho Convention, not contented with merely
selecting a mnn worthy of your united stil-
frnges, felt it incumbent upon themselves also,
to take measures to secure liis election, and tho
triumph of Democratic principles. Tlie lead
ing object of tho Convention was to bring to
bear in the approaching contest, the united en
ergy and strength of llio Democratic party—
Believing that the articles of political faith pro-
mulged by the Baltimore Republican Conven
tion of May, ISil, und adopted by themselves
at Milledgeville, were the true principles of
Georgians; and having experience to aitest
the fact, that the true Democratic and consti
tutional party of Georgia, when thoroughly
united, was, and had always been, invincible;
the Convention felt that nothing was needed to
ensure a splendid victory in October, but the
presence at the polls, of all those who subscribe * 1 “ v " Some'tha’n she had here in the whig party. Need I
to the creed of American Political Democracy
In furtherance of this subject, the Convention
Dpooiuied an Executive Committee for the
purpose of aiding iu a general organization of
the Democratic party throughout the State.—
This Committee is composed of two getlemen
from each Congressional District, and two, as
a Central Committee, from the county of Bald
win. The undersigned were appointed to
this honorable, hut laborious duly for the 2d
Congressional District, and in execution of the
PVHPMakiMII
REASON3 FOR OPPOSING GOV. CRAWFORD
AND THE WHIG PARTY.
We are asked why oppose Gor. Crawlord 7 Why did
not the Convention give a recson 7 It would be enough to
satisfy any honest Democrat to answer the question h^r ask
ing another. When did Gjv. Crawford ever vote for or
support a Democrat? But what reason do the Whigs of.
fer for his support? He has restored the solvency of the
Central Bank!! What impudence, nay what folly ! Why
not go a step further and say lie has restoaed equal exchan
ges? For before he was elected exchange on the north
was SO percent; now it is about par. These dishonest
politicians well know that the Central Bank bills were
made good by laws passed by a democratic Legislature.—
But if it were not so—if it was by the sole act of Governor
Crawford, then Mr. Crawford is a fit subject for impeach
ment, for he has acted without law, or assumed to make
tlie law for himself, according to my reading of the consii-
tution, a Governor of Geo'g.a, can exercise Legislative
powers only in conjunction with Senators and Representa
tives during their session. But al ter their adjournment liis
s?le duty is to see that the laws are faithfully executed in
pursuance of his oath. If Mr. Crawford has gone beyond
this, lie has violated tlie Pimiimlisi nnu exercised fne nr-
bitrary powers of a king. Let Mr. Crawford and his friend*
beware on what grounds they place his claims for indul
gence.
Hut after all, opposition to George Crawford is not the
grievance cmnplaiueu of. It is because in liis person as
their representative, we oppose the Whig party. This is
the “head and front of our offending.” Ask tlie question
then, gentlemen, like brave and honest men. Why do you
democrats o pose the whig party? Simply because you
oppose democracy. Because your principles are in direct
o'pposiliqn to the democtniic principles as avowed in the
Baltimore Resolutions, adopted by the Convention.
Again you n-k what have national politics to do with
state politi'S? I answer there is and can bi, no distinction
—there is no such tiling as national politics. There is no
nation with us, but a confederacy or union of states.—
Withdraw each state and nothing remains. The term
“National Government.” with us, is only an abstraction, an
idea. It only means (awkwardly, to be sure) d Congress
of States. Therefore it lias always been, and so it must
always continue, that each state carries into the councils
of the Congress, her domestic or state polilies. Would it
not be an anomalv to excite tlie especial wondcr.of men,
to see the federal state of Massachusetts send to the Con
gress Democratic Senators and Representatives ? Such
an absurdity never lias and never enn occur in any State.
Is it not their duty, then—nay, does tot their own and their
children’s safety, demand of the people of each slate to
guard with eternal vigilance such principles ns they believe
will secure to them and their descendants libeily and hap
piness 7 And I need hardly add, that this cannot be effec
ted unless tlie people lake care in the selection of their
public servants, to put confidence in no one who does not
botlt profess and practice democratic principles—in other
words, principles tliat have for their object the happiness of
the many instead of the fete. Tlie obsolete federal device
of •'Measures and not men,’’ has long since been explo
ded by all honest men of all parties. Our motto is 4 Men
and Measures.” We are not green enough to expect de
mocratic measures from a federalist, especially if he is
hnnesL But wd Imre a right to expect such measures from
a democrat that is hottest, and we should trust none other.
With the foregoing reasons I do nut expect the political
hacks of the wlt.g party wiil be satisfied. They do not
seek reason nor truth—parly power is their object. But I
have a word to add to the generous, noble-hearted young
men of that party—if they will listen for a moment to an
old man who has done the stale some service, who never
sought, never held, and never expects office. You are des
tined to exert an influence for good or for evil upon the
destinies of your country. High or lew, rich or poor, ad
must take a part for all time to come, either in strengthen
ing or destroying tlie glorions fabric cf tltis Republic.—
The approaches of tyranny—the eternal foe.ol republican
institutions—is always by hidden steps, stealing away little
by little tlie power of the many, and conferring it on the
few—until Ctcsar, in the garb of a Tribune, commands
the election of Consuls.
That the Whig party have advocated arid sustained
measures calculated to confer power and privileges on what
they choose to call the upper classes, no one candidly re.
viewing their acts, can deny. Their tariff policy is the
same as that of Abbot Lawrence, and the Boston federalists
who declared in 1914, that it was a great ms fortune to
men of property that Massachusetts had abandoned iter
allegiance to Great Btitain. Tlie whig party of Georgia—
the whig party of tLe Union, have boasted and now boast,
that they “stand on the same platform” with these federal
aristocrats of New England. They taunt the Democratic
party with being composed of discordant materials—while
the wings, say they all, north ar.d south, believe alike—
aril that too when everj’ intelligent man knows that the j

‘ TW DRUGtiISTS. ~
T HE subscriber being desirous of selling off the entire
stock of DRUGS AND MEDICiN ES, together with
the e'egant fixtures and furni:ure belonging ami appertain
ing to the establishment formerly occupied by .James IV.
Bailey, would make ittnech to the interest of such as wish to
commence that business to purchase tlie whole together
with tlie lease of the premises now in his possession, if pre
ferred. To a person with moderate capital the advantages
of this position would he very obvious; there being only
three establishments of the kind in Macon, and these but of
limited means and extent. The field is fullv open for an ex
tensive trade not only in tlie city but with the finest and
richest portion of Georgia ; and there is no reason why Ma-
cqp, with a populations! tv/o-thirds that of Augusta should
not handsomely maintain one-third ns many Drug Stores.
