As contemplated by h meeting which was held on Friday the 12th instant, and whose proceedings were publish ed in the last Cabinet, a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of the county of Warren, took place, on Thursday the 18 h irist. Tney as. sembled in the Court House, in War ronton—when Zkphaniah Frank I.in, Esq. presided as Chairman, ami the Secretary of the form* r meeting being absent, Thomas Gibson, Esq. was appointed Secretary, l'no meet ing being organized, the chairman made known to the assemblage the object and design Cor which they had been called together, in a brief, but pertinent and patriotic address. Mr. Daniel Chandler, in behalf of the Committee, appointed for that pur p<se hy tlii’ fanner meeting, reported a Preamble! ami R ’Solutions. The P-e.ainble and R s dutions were read to the meriting in a *1 *ar, audible and i npressive manner; after whirl, G. E. Thomas, ,lh ‘l as member of the com* mil tee, in a speech which greatly re* d-'unil and to his credit as a patriot, a statesman and an orator, went into an explanation considerably in detail, of the rarilFnf 1828, and its concom itaut hearings and evil tendencies, as regards the interests of the southern agri ultiiralists. The Preamble was both able and eloquent ; and though the production of one who has scarce ly reached manhood's bloom, yet we h.zztrd but little, when we say that it will not stiff r by comparison with the best ot those which similar occa aims have recently called forth. The Preamble and Resolutiou9 were seve rally adopt’ and w ithout a dissenting voi.e; and requested to be published jo the Rural Cabinet and other pa \ prrs <>| the state. We deeply regret <ior circumscribed limits dejirives us ol the pleasure we should derive in Dying the Preamble and Resolutions before our readers this week—this re quest, however, we shall cheerfully t omply w ith in the next number of the Cabinet, Our correspondent, < Farmer ** is in verity what Itis signature indi ats; and one trto who has done the State *<ine service. The subject of his communication is one of vital impor tance—and demands the calm and deep consideration of every true friend t * the administration of evenhandul justice. In late Statesman and Patriot, several g ntlcmen who are candidates f Electors of President and Vice I’ evident, have come out with a l! dge, as to who they will support if eicited—Now this pledging business is nil will enough by wav of quieting the doubt's of ucighter Puriitt, it co. as regards folks of their own nornina ti ,n—fr wi, ought to know them bet’er. But to seek pledges from such men :ts Compose wl, it in called the Troup ti kt for electors, we humbly conceive, would display an ignorance and suspicion which wuulu not argue much hi favor of our knowledge of public characters in (Georgia. ‘Phe memory of Gen. James Jack son is cherished by every true Geor gian. Ilia disinterested patriotism and public servins occupy a bright place on the pages jf the history of our country. Graft fu then to our feel ing are such notices, though brief, of that departed xr rthy, as that we lay bes *re our readers, extracted from the Ohio People's Press. For the CABINET. Mr. Editor, You may print this or not, just as you pl< ase—you will understand that several of my neighbours, as well as ir.yself, have been opposed to a Court of Errors and Appeals, because we thought it would lengthen lawsuits. Further, we wore of opinion that a rich man would start a poor one to a place he never could reach; but, we think we have smelt a mouie in an oth er place; w e have found out that the Judges ol the Superior Court has mire power than any bt dy e!e— Phe Governor and •he Legislature both together, cannot do what one powerful Judge may do and does do.—The Legislature may pais a law, the governor may approve and enforce it, but what is all this, when one man on th * bench can and does make a law, then he approves it, after that, he puts it in lorcp, and there is no hindering him from doing all this. It is this Ertor in Appeals that are wanted. Now I will tell you now c-'ine I to b** kept in blindness so long ibout this m it*er, when the candi date* found it popular, with ignorant peo pie like m**, they electionee r ed by telling us that the fiig folks wanted to brake down the Justices courts and mak° o lug ourt away yonder where poor people would lie th ug it no more of than a dog, I thought they wore all men of wisdom and truth, but in this, like oth*-r things my mind is changed, for it is a firt, that will not be deny and, that some candidates have stooped so low as to electioneer by mis stating the character *f a fellow can didate. Now Mr. Printer, I have no personal meaning at any individual Judge, nor candidate for the legislature, but I must say, lesson the power of the Su perior Court, in law making, and increase the power of candidates for genuine pa triotism and integrity the state over A FARMER.

Janies Ja< kson of (Jeorgia (many ye irs deceased,) was fora longtime a Sen ator in Congress, during which he once or twice presided as President pro tern, of’ the Senate, during Jefferson’s Administra tion. It is a well remember’ and fact, that Jackson was considered a gentleman of pie-eminent courtesy, and uncommon a miableness and blandness of manners. He was among the most con spicuous men in the old Jefferson school, and was at one time strongly thought of as the successor to Mr. Jefferson. Even Stephen Cullen Carpentr r, the British Emissaty, the author of that tissue of calumny entitled ‘Memoirs of Thomas Jefferson,’ (2 vnls. octavo) did homage to the talentsand civic virtues of James Jack son.—And .et that unfortunate politician, that talent, and and indefatigable labourer for men whom he despises and who at heart despise him, Charles Hammond Esq. brands the memory ot this departed rev olutionary sate. with the epithets of ‘Vi olbnce anil Egotism.’ Is there no sauctity to the grave?— ( an there be no leputation too h dlowed. by resplendant and eminent public servi ces to escape the earth-searching, time destroying Malice of this Unholy Alli ance of Adams and ( lay, VNebster and Mark ley, Binns and Hao m. nd?

HORRID MIROER. Franklin ( Venn.) du%. 8. — SYc have been informed of a must shocking oc currence which took place in Giles county in this state, h few days since. The circuinstan es as they have been detailed to us on the authority of a gentleman of unquestioned veracity, who bad them from a very respect able person direct from the neighbor hood of the shocking scene, are as follows: A mao (whose name our in formant has forgotten) who keeps a public house somewhere in Giles coun ty, left home with his wife with the intention of staying all night, lie left the house, in the care of his two daughters, with directions to reieive no travellers.in his absence. Late in the evening an old gentleman call’d and desired to stay all night.—The girls refused to entertain him, alledg ing their father’s commands as the excuse. ll* insisted, and they final ly agreed to let him stay. Suine short time after, a young man called, whom they also refused to entertain; hot up on his insisting, backed by the r-quest of the old gentleman, who pledged hi in self fr Ins good behaviour they consented that he should stay also. Some time after they had retired to rest, the two travellers were awaken ed by a loud and unusual noise in the Chamber of the two sisters, win* slept above them. They instantly arose and went up stairs, the younger t,k ing his pistols with him. At tin* door of the girls’ room they encountered a man passing out.— He was bail* and by the younger traveller, who demanded bis name, and errand, and the cause of the noise which had awakened them and who threatened to shoot hirn if he remained silent, or persisted in his attempt to escape. He made no answer, and endeavoring to pass, the traveller shot hiai dead on the spot. They then went into the room where a most bloody and appalling specta cle met their view—the two sisters were found in their blood. They now sallied forth for the pur pose of alarming the neighbors. The first house they came to and the one nearest this scene ol blood, they in* .formed the landlady what had hap pened, who immediately ex I aimed lt is my husband you have shot!’ she proved to be correct; it was indeed their nearest neighbor who perpetrat ed the crime. It seems the murder er, and the father of the ill fated girls, were engaged in a law suit—they were the most material witnesses in the case, and the monster, to get rid of their testimony, formed in tiie ab sence of their lather the diabolical resolution, in which he succeeded but too well, of depriving them of life, Balance, ANECIiOIES. The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser re lates the following anecdote of a Yankee pedlar, and a Dutch innkeeper, near Catskiil; After somo sporting and bantering be tween Mynheer and Jonathan, who had shone off some common slight of hand tricks, the said Jonathan declared that he could swallow his robust ho-t! notwith standing that Jonathan had plaved < ; ff several of his Yankee tricks winch puz zled the good people exceedingly, this was too great a mou’hful f or tin m to swallow, if the pedlar could. A bet sufficient to moisten the throats of the whole campany, was the consequence be tween the parties, though the landlord in proposing it, had no idea that his cu-tom er would accent, when, as he supposed, he must be cfhain of losing. Jonathan then directed that Mynheer should be divested of his c.-at and boots, and be streched longitudinally upon the old oak en table which had stood in the bar-room tor hall a century. These arrangements h. vmg been made. Johnathan voraciously seized upon the honest landlords gouty great toe, which he pressed rather vio lently between hi? teeth, giving the good mans twinge which caused a writhirg! movement and a groan. -Dander and Blixuro!’ exclaimed Mynheer:‘vat te tef* fil do ye pite ine shoe for?’ *tVhy you darn’J great fool,’ said Jonathan, ‘you didn‘t think I was going to swallow you whole, d*d you'?’ A burst of laughter pruclairatd Jonathan the victor, and My uheer had to pay the toast and toddy.. An Irish gentleman being taken ill of a yellow fever at Jamaica, a lady.who had married in that island, indirectly hinted to hitn in the presence of an Iris-h physi cian who at*e ided him, the propriety of making a will in a country where people were so apt to die—-the physician thinking his judgment called in question, tartly replied, ‘By St. Patrick, madam, I wish you would tell me whpre people do not die—and I will go and end my days there/ This puts us in mind of a Hibernian min ister who said during one of his sermons, that if there was no such thing as death in tue world, we should increase to such a degree, that the plague would get among us, and we should die off by thousandsHl A Clergyman from one of the new set tlement b *yond the Alleghany Moun tains, being a*ked what saary he received for his clerical duties n plied, ‘One hun dred dollars and enough to keep a horse.’ ‘Poor pay. parson,’ remarked his inter rogator, Yes,’ rejoined he of the long roe, ‘but l g*ve very poor preaching lor it.’ LOjYG text V clergyman w is once going to preach from the t< xf of the Samaritan woman; and aPer reading it, i e said, ‘Donot won der mv beloved that the text ia so long; tor ii is a woman that speaks.’ A V.lh UABLE FfORSE.
