metiliu popular approbation. We do not re member to have heard it disapproved by De mocrat or Whig. Its results were beneficial. It arrested a policy calculated to perpetuate our financial embarrassments, and was an advance step to that restoration of public confidence in the honest purposes of our State Government, which was attained before the commencement of the whig administration. Who is flic Slanderer 1 The following article from the Savannah Georgian expresses our views so well that we adopt it as our own : It is not to be forgotten that a senator in Con- gress is to be elected by the next Legislature. If tlie Whigs have the ascendancy, as a matter of course, Judge Berrien will be re-elected.— Why are their journals so silent upon ibis sub ject I Is possible that the position of a Sen ator in the halls of Congress can have become so insignificant as to claim i.o interest at all in comparison with the office of Governor ? Im possible ! The Whig papers are silent from policy. They dare not meddle with this ques tion. The result of the last Presidential con test in Georgia has frightened them out of their w ts. They dare not even allude to the prin ciples which they then sustained, and which met the signal rebuke of the people. Hence the spasm d c effort iliey are making to confine the present contest to the gubernatorial quqs- | lion, and to scrape up, from the dust of the j pau, all the v.le vermin of scandal they can discover, to injure Mr. McAllister. This will not do at all, at all. There arc other candi dates upon the turf besides McAllister and Crawford. Trie people of Georgia arc called upou to support Judge Berrien for the next senator. Iiis character as a politician, and as tnc leader of the Wing party of this State is b.fore them. Let us glance at it for a mo ment, a id let the voters of Georgia answer, w«o tias com. roraised their charactei ? There arc certain recollections connected with lac course of lies prominent Whig in the la<t President al campaign winch cannot, which shonld not, b-: forgotten. They shoul I be kept constantly before the eyes of the people of this Slue. They should be stereotyed in nor pubic prints They should b- brought to notice a every pnpul«r assembly. Let tticm ling u the •trila's i to the ocean! Lot ears tnat have heard of them once, hear them again ! Let no in m in Georgia be kept in the dark hj to tie ir nature ! For the present we refer to the conspicuous pa t this genii.-man enacted at the great mass meeting of the WnigJ of Massachusetts in the eity of Boston, on the 19 h Sept. 1844. We have our information from the Bus'oi Drily Advertiser, an orlhordox Whig paper. It tells us that at an early hoar of that eventful day, which w *s to witness the humi'iation of our own Georgia, in the queen city of N »v England, a procession was firmed—*tn w'iich it seems so ue of the reciemt sons of the South united. 1< is n it t > he questioned that the senator from Georgia w.is there, and marched in rank with lus Federal associ-tes'. Ba. net's waved above their heads, hearing inscriptions I ke thi-3 “No EXTENSION OF Til.: BOUNDS OF SLAVERY.”— lWn l Webber j»iraided over the meeting.— In a spe ch full of Federal principles, breath ing throughout tho spirit of sectional pol.cy, re- •V-te with arguments in favor of» prut* c'ive ta riff", etc., we meet vfitb the following rem irka- able language : r * I for me say, gcfit lenTcn, tint under the present circumstances, I give' my vote hearti ly for Mr. Clay, [ cheers] and I so give it, be cause—-among other things, lie is against t'.e annexation of Texas, and I woul 1 not give it if he was no*. With o'lier opinions of his, 1 *hnM i ol now hold •; mtroversy : but I ho'd vviiii him on tills po n% because 1 hold that the nn exat on of Texas will b - the perpetuation oj African Slarery, and the tvramn’y of RACE OVER nx-CK UPON THIS CONTINENT, and fflElETiiU, / will have nothing to do with it." [Cheers.] These sentiments, proceeding from the enn- trolli spirit of ihe F«dcnd party of the North, so mil of iiitter feeling, of ruthless preju dice, and so insulting to tire slave-holding people o! the Souili, fell upon the ears of one of their pruinine *t Representatives.' The Whig Sena tor frm Georgia was tile re. He sat beneath tile coll (lishof Webster’s eye. He heard, word by Word, what fell from his lips. Were tae question asked of any Georgian, whose Iteart yet glows with a spark of devotion to his n itive State—wli.it should ouf' Senator have done!—he could but exclainr—«“what should he h .ve dune! Why, he should have left the netting at once. He should have come out from among them forever, and shaken the dust from his feet. He should have felt personally insulted, in the insult cast upon- his State, nud the people who sent lihrr to the halls of Con- 1 gress !” What course did he pursue? The Advcrtis r goes «>n to inform us, that af ter concluding bis remarks, Mr, Webster, “in. trod ic 'd ill Hon J. M. Berrien as a distin guished member of the Senate of tire United Slates, from the State of Georgia”—There upon, “Mr. Berrien said lie had come in obedience to the r call, from a distant home, to share in the deliberations of this clay. He had come to bear to Whigs of the North, the cordial greet- ings of the Whigs of Georgia, and To say FROM THEM, THAT THEY WERE ANIMATED AVITII THE SAME SPIRIT AVHICII BEAT IN THE BOSOM OK THOSE AT PRESENT BEFORE HIM.” Gracious Heaven! was there ever such a com* promise of the honor and dignity of our State before ? Find the page of history that record's it! It would have been bad enough had an Ordinary citizen of Georgia used this language to an assembly of men, who, but a moment be. fore, had cheered Webster in his assault upon her character ; but proceeding as it did from ored sons, it was enough to have made every cit zen of Georgia drop his head with burning shame. The election is over ; Henry Clay is defeated ; the idol to whom such sacrifices were made, is low in the dust ; but conduct like this can never be forgotten.'never, never ! TIIE SEASONS.

To show our readers how far we weie r-ght in the warnings wc then gave them, we subjoin tho following disgraceful urticlo from the Albany Evening Journal, one of the most widely circulated and influential whig papers in the S;a e of NeV/ York. The people* will juJgc for themselves.- We commend it to the Messenger and the au-' thors of the whig circular signed by Senator Berrien and others upon tho nv« of the Octo ber elections last year. Skillud ns they tue in political dialectics they can scarcely recon c>le tho charges of the one, with the confes sions of the other.- Here it is : “ But war in the aspect that it comes, if it comes now, has with all its iiorrois, one re deeming feature. It will abolish slavery !— Yes, a War to protect Slavery will terminate its existence. Our enemies will know where we are ino.->t vulnerable. They will strike where our defences are weakest. The slave now knows how his own ‘iborty is to be achie ved, and "ill not, as in our past wars, be found driving rivets into bis chains - . England, when she sets her hostile Joot upon < ur soil again, will proclaim freedom to the enslaved. And the slave accepting the boon, will stand by the side of his deliverer, fighting jor the ransom oj his race. “Let the Suuili, then, for the sake of Slat cry, plunge us into war about Texas; or lei Presi dent Polk, by Ids silly flourish about O egon, bring us into collision, with England, at their peril f It will cost the North much blond and treasure. But the retribution-—the just retribu tion cf the South, will be appalling. Let them wantonly provoke war, ifttiey will, in full view ofi-is responsibilities.” While we have no fears ostathe course - the patriotic musses of the people at the North any more than the South will take in any such coit- kngency as that to which' the Journal alludes, we have reasons to thank God that the des tinies of this great country are not in the hands of any sach cravens as the Journal ard its par. ty at the North have shown themselves to be.

Are millions to be squandered of tlie people's money?—their “school- masters"' are set to ciphering out the profits lo speculators, spimiing-jeniiys, and trading po’-ticians, whereby votes may be secured lo make tlie riel, richer and tlie poor poorer— is a bunk lo be established or sustained? ils profits are the only arguiuenls—is il to be pulled down as a foe to liberty? the loss in dollars and rents is fig*,red out!—is some na tional right lo be acquired or defended? in.-iead of an array of bayonets we are met by a platoon of pencils figuring out “lhe expense."
