fcpTO TIIK POLLS!!!
Nixt JVlonday the people of
Georgia, in person, will he cal
led on to give their suffrages
for Electors of President and
Vice President of the IJ. Slates,
a privilege which has been
withholden from them by the
] egislatuie, if we mistake not,
ever since the first contest be
tween J< (Person and John A
dams. Let the people bear in
mind that ours is. emphatically,
a government founded on pub
lic opinion—and that if ever vve
are deprived of political liberty
it will be either by the neglect
or arise of the elective fran
chise. To the Polls then Re
publican citizens, and, as on
that occasion, let vour voice be
heard through the ballot box
by voting for that Electoral
Ticket, which lias been sanc
tioned by that party in our
state, who have uniformly and
iindeviatinglv supported men
Whose politics have been those
of the Jefferson republican
school from the days of the
formation of our confederation
even unto this day, and who
will give the votes of Gcoigia
to Andrew Jackson. T ickets
are printed at this office, con
taining the names of the gen
tlemen who will be voted for
throughout the state, by those
who have been denominated
the T roup Party—these tickets
are rcad v for deli ve rv .gratis;
and all disposed to prevent de
ception, in a matter so impor
tant, are informed that copies
of them mav be had at this
office, at the tavern and most
of the stores and groceries of
this place.
OCR LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature of Georgia meet on
Monday next. The session will be one
of vast importance. The election of Jutlg- j
ei*, Solicitors, a United States’ Senator, &c.j
are matters of considerable solicitude. —
We have the utmost confidence that the
Troupers will be true to their constituents j
and the State, and “correct the procedure”
of Hi 25.
The Tariff Act, and the adoption oI the
most judicious and eflf*rtual measures to.
counteract its unjust and oppirssiveinflu
ence, will, no doubt, be thp most promi
nent subject of debate, involving a greater
contrariety of opinion, and more warmth
of discussion than any other subject that
may be brought on the tapis. VVe have,
however, every reaon to believe that the
united exertions of the South, combined
w ith the efforts of a rtspec.table and ener
getic minority in the other parts of the
Union, will be sufficiently to tear
from the vitals of the Republic this polit
ical incubus—this blood-sucking vampyre
The l herokee Raids, within the limits
of Geoigia, will again engage the serious
attention of oui Legislature; and we hope
that measures of a decisive character may
be adopted Every day that the present
occupants remain in possession not only
st engthens the difficulty of their removal,
but withholds from Georgia the enjoyment
of a rich and extensive portion of her
lightful domain. As the reports of Col.
M< Kenney intimated a free disposition on
tl e part of the Nation to emigrate, the
general government has no excuse 1* ft
her for a non-fulfilment of her contract, j
Indeed, if no such disposition existed on I
the part of our Red brethren, it could not
militate against the claims of Georgia for ■
an immediate extinguishment of their ti
tle, because the general government could
and can effect it, whenever it ‘seenuth to
her meet’, and that too without a com
prommitment of her character for justice
or humanity.
Another, but we fear a fruitless attempt
will be made to create a Court of Errors.
<s*c. Should (he enlghtened advo* ates of
this measure again be diseomtititd, would
it not be well to introduce a Rill requiring
the alternation of the Judges of he sever
al Circuit*? We cannot conceive that
any objection could be made to such a
measure,even by the most fastidious oppo
nent to law and lawyers that ever kicked
up his heels in a Court yard. B> the
adoption of such a Dill the decisions of
our Courts would approach nearer to uni
formity, and our System of Jurisprudence
would not be, as it now is, a tiling of
‘shreds and patches *
For several years gone by, we hare ob
served with unfeigned regret that in dis
posing of the Public-Printing our Legisla
tive Hall has been converted into a com
mon Vendue Room, and the dignity of Le
gislation sullied by the shameful practice
of bidding in the work for favorite Print*
ers.
It is hoped that the ensuing Legislature
will pay more attention to this subject.
Its seeming unimportance, and the late
hour of the session to which its final dis
cussion was piotracted, weie auspicious
circumstances for the imidious movements
of those concerned. That body has,
too much virtue and intelligence to be
again hood winked by a similar man
oeuvre.
It tnay be thought by some that we are
too warm in the expression ol our feelings
on this subject. We should think so too
ourselves, if we had any motives to sub
serve, other than those which spring from
a love of justice, and a due regard lor the
character of the btate. We have not
been, neither are we now, aspirants for
governmental patronage, but we camiot
>it down and fold our arms in silence,
when we see it huckstered off in the man
ner it has been done.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
1 hat Gen. Jackson w ill be elected Pre
sident of the United States, is as certain
a* the accomplishment of any human event
which yet lies in the womb of futurity.—
J he defeat ot Mr. Sergeant, and the sig
nal triumph which has been achieved
throughout ALL Pennsylvania, as well as
the devoted attachment of New York to
the Man of Orleans, settles the question,
at once.
! In publishing the following letter from
Philadelphia, extracted from Noah’s Ad
vocate, we beg leave re*pectfully to say,
that it is not w ith an intention of triumph
ing over a prostrate adversary. There
are seme good men belonging to the Ad
ministration party, who are not undeserv
ing of our sympathy, but ws have not time
to it u> theta:
♦ I have only time to inform yon
that our whole ticket has succeeded
by an unexampled majority. The
Adams men are totally defeated iti
the city and county of Philadelphia;
we have carried eviry one ot our
modulates by large and increas'd
majorities. Hemphill’s majority, in
the 12 wards of the i ity only, is 557
over the little Panama Minister.
V hat will Mr. Adams do for him now?
He is prostrated in his own native
ity, by his abandonment of principle
and Ins adherear.ee to the corrupt co
alition. Can Adams do less now
than appoint him a Judge of the su
preme Court of the United States, in
thr place of Trimble? lie must he re
munerated somehow or other fur his
loss; it is very great and distressing
to him, the loss of the confidence and
affei tions of his fellow-citizens of his
native city, upon which he had once
great hold. May such ever bo the
fate of apostates. The majority in
Pennsylvania, for the Jackson elector
al ticket, will not be Ic9s than 50,000.’
Since receiving the above we have seen
a lachrymal sheet from the National In
telligencer, which, mirabile dictul ac
knowledges the complete success of the
Jackson Congressional ticket in Ohio!
The ‘Adonis of the Woods’, (us the eu
phonic Mrs. Royal calls brother Gilo*)
is as ‘melancholy as the drone of a Liu
colnshire bag-pipe’—and he wails over the
[result with that kind of Judicious sorrow
which Saucho Panza exlib.od upon the
doss of Lift dear Asinus. Bi other Gales,
|however, thinks that Trimble, [let them
have the trimbles] will be elected Gover
nor—and consol* s himself with the musty
old proverb, that ‘half a loaf is better than
no bread . Hear him:
‘The returns from this State, of the
elections in the Congressional Dis
tricts, afford a very indifferent cri
terion of the strength of the Admin
istration. ’
‘The true test of the strength of par
ties will be found in the votes for the
• ffi e of Governor of the state
The Jai ksonians have selected for
their candidate the strongest man in
the State on that side of the question,
John W. Campbell—the candidate
on the part of the friends of the Ad
ministration being Allen Trimble.
Whenever, amidst the smoke of the
engagement, we ran obtain a view ot
the relative position of these parties,
we shall be able to announce to our
readers what they may expect from
the State of Ohio, at the Electoral
Election.*
No wonder that the vision of the ‘Ado
nis’ has become obscured—He has been
peering through a smoky atmosphere ever
since The Adams cast anchor into Admin
istration Bay. All his observations have,
consequently, been darkened and perver
ted by optical delusions. The thunder of
The Jackson is, however, rolling over his
head—and so highly rarified is the politi
cal atmosphere becoming, that we feel
confident he will be restored to his sight.
‘on, or before’ the FOURTH of MARCH
ensuing.
GEORGE M. TROUP.
The Macon Messenger of the 25th ult.,
furnishes us with the following gratifying
intelligence in relation to ihe health of
this distinguished individual. We hail
his cental- scence with proud satisfaction
—for the loss of such a man at a crisis
like the present would, indeed, be a na
tional calamity:
‘As various reports are in circula
tion relative to the health of our
esteemed and valuable follow-cit
izen, Gov. Troup, we think it proper
to state, we have seen a letter .just
received from oneofkis friends, which
says that he is recovering, though
rather slowly, from his late severe
indisposition; and that he considers
his ultimate restoration to health as
ccrtaiu.
THE SEASON.
Winter lingering in the lap of May.
W hat a capricious climate is ours!-—lt is
now November, the usual season for b<ack
frosts and w hite frosts, lor Waterloo*, j
plaids, tippets, and muffs—but in their;
stead we s* e the fields verdant w ith vege- i
tation and the gay tube of Flora blooming J

their matin promenades in morning gowns
and round-a b uts, and the gossamer dres
es of our Belles are wooed by the genial
breezes of a vernal atmosphere.
The following paragraph from the Sa
vannah Georgian, shows, that our frieuds
of the sea-board are a little more in for
the Sports of the Season, than we of a
higher latitude. Our climate is certaiuly
undergeirg a revolution:
“Early in the spring, we made
mention concerning the uncommon
n ildness of the past winter, which
ass rded specimens of Rattoon in the
articles of Cotton, Rice, Pepper, and
other plants that may be consideied
as almost peculiar to this section of
country.
Yesterday, Capt. Sisson left at
our office, a bunch of Grapes. of an
other growth, after that of July. A
bout 50 bunches have ripened upon
a vine, that grew in his garden, since
the first crop; which, of itself, was
unusually large.
Mr. Starr has also sent to us a spe
cimen of the second growth of the
Teach, exposed for sale in market,
yesterday morning. Its size and
shape are about that of an Emory
bag; and add’ and to this, it is also very
fragrant. We learn that the fruit ob
tained 6 1 4 cents for the dozen.”
P. S. We had scarcely concluded the
perusal of the above extract, before we
w vre assailed with such a hvperboreao
blow from Jack North as made wur “finger3
ache again. This is something like pitch
ing one from a hot house into an ice-house,
INTELLIGENCE.
ISAAC B. DESHA.
The world, it appears, is at at last
relieved from the presence of the
notorious, and as it seems, abandoned
Desha. The following is an extract
of a letter, dated San Felipe de Aus
tin. (Austin‘B Settlement in Texas,)
August 17th, 1821, to a gentleman
now in M aeon*
*1 cannot omit giving you a
sketch of a singular incident that late
ly transpired in this place. There
were two individuals here about the
time you left us, who came to the
country on the schooner ‘Rights of
Man;’ one by the name of Early
and the other called his name Parker.
If you saw r them when you were here,
you will recollect them by the follow
ing description. Early was a very
loquacious merry fellow, and call* and
himself Kentuck. Parker had an im
pediment in his speech, and could not
speak above a whisper. They left
this place for De \\itt‘s colony, and
on the way, Parker murdered Early
for his money; went on to San Anto
riia, and returned and remained here
a considerable time, uususpected.
Finally the facts began to disclose
themselves, and he was arrested. Af
ter all the testimony was collected the
rase became plain and positive. The
16th of Uiis month was set fr his tri
al. But on the 15th, he di-d, making?
a toll confession; and behold! he turn
ed out to he the celebrated Isaac B,
Desha of Kentucky; and the cause of
the impediment in his speech was the
circumstance of his having cut his
throat while in jail in Kentucky,
for the murder of Frances B .ker,
•Macon Messenger.
Savannah, October 25.
One (lay later from England.
At a laie hour last night we receiv
ed by the ship Oglethorpe, Capt.
Peiibner, London papers of the Bth
nd Lix crpool of the 9th Sept, They
furnish nothing of importance from
the seat of war. The Russians were
occupied in the seige of the great for*
tresses of Shumla, Varna and Sitis
tri?.. The Emperor had loft Odessa
to re-join the army at Shumla, and
had ordered the Grand Duke Constan
tine to prepare the whole Polish ar
my, 90.000 strong for the field. The
Grand Vizier had left Corstantino
plc, and it was reported that the Sul
tan had ordered a levy of 500,000
men. The warlike preparations on
* oth sides indicated a failure if the
