IIURRA FOR TIIE BRIDGE.
It is with au unusual degree of pleasure we
state to the public that our citizens have taken up
the subject of the Bridge in the right way, aud
entered into ihe mutter in stich a maimer as tells
to all we trill have a 11 ridge. Without tai
ling together a large concourse of citizeus, or
haranguing the public oil tho actual necessity of
such a work, a subscription list was simply open
ed m one ot our stores last W eduesday evening,
when, in less than fifteen minutes stock, to the
amount of Fifteen thousand a/u/ffiy Dollars, was
subscribed. This is well done, and with but lit
tle or no exertion the balance necessary for the
budding ot tlie Brid e (say $10,000) may shortly
be obtained. Y. r e hope that those who have com
menced so nobly may “persevere unto tlie end,”
and there is no sort oi' doubt but iu a verv short
time we will have a Bridge.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL.
Agreeably to appointment a large number of the
citizens of our town assembled at the church last

this matter has been taken hold of with that zeal

worthy a cause demands. The necessary
committees were appointed for the regular
formation ot the Society, when the nice ling ad
journed to meet again on Wednesday evening fol

adopted a Constitution aud Bye-Laws for the fu

THE PRESIDENCY.
Our \ au Huron friends are very much taken on
the suoject o! the next Presidency, aud manifest
au uneasiness and restlessness abirtSC the matter
plainly indicative that their prospects are bad and
that their loud hopes of j over and place begin to
disappear 1.1.0 tl.c mitt ot the morning before the
rising sun.
They are now preparing for a desperate effort,
and it seems to be tlie intention of the party in this
.State to have the p/ople of Georgia elas'j Mr. Van .
Buien to tneir aims whether they tiro willin ,T or
not. No means will l>e lett untried, no exertions
Spared to effect this, with their, desirable end,
ana consequently tuese who w.d neither be coax
'd or coerced must, if possib’.e, be frightened into
their measures and the sur.port of their favorite.
Iti order to efieet this they I;aid up to tlie public
gaze Messrs. Clay, Webster and Harrison in the
most unenviable light, and then assert that the
-State Rights rarty of the South will give one or
• h-’ other of them their support. llow they can
have tho unblushing effrontery to make such a
declaration we are unable to account. We ask
you. ye wise men of Georgia, from whence do you
derive your information ? llow do you know the
State Rights party of the South will give their
support to either of these men? Upon what
grounds do you base your assertions ? Clay,
Webster and Harrison believe with you as to the
unlimited powers of the General Government;
upon the main point of difference which is the di
viding line between State Rights and Union men
they side with tlieTatter, and on the main prin
ciple which actuates the State Rights party they
are as far front the feelings of that party as tlie East
is from the West or Federalism from Republican
ism. How then can the Union party believe we
will support a man for the Presidency whose o
piniuns, doctrines aud measures are so directly in
opposition to ours. True it is, we agree with
them in their opposition to the corruptions which
have crept into the General Government, and no
further; and that is the only barrier between them
and tli Union party—tho one opposes, while the
other upholds the corruptions of our rulers.
The State Rights party conceive their is suffi
cient time to consider upon this matter; time
THE GEORGIA UlßltOli.
brings about many changes, aud the' man who
may be brought forward now might at some future
day prove unworthy oar confidence and support.
Our opponents however may rest assured that
when the hour for action arrives, the State Righ r s
party of the South will speak in a voic? which will
east a damper over tin *r feeljngs th it may not
be very easily thrown oil—nor will that voice be
heard in favor of Clay, Webster or Harrison.
HARRIS RESOLUTIONS AGAIN.
We give to day the feeble, attempt at vindication
by tlie “Author of the Resolutions” passed by a
meeting of the Van Burcn party on the oth ult.
written for the purpose of screening himself and
those who acted with him from the just indigna
tion and contempt that these infamous resolutions
have brought down upon them frotnau injured and
insulted people.
J his proves conclusively to our minds that the
famous author has been forced to make this effort
at justification not alone by the rebuke which has
been poured upon these resolutions by the State
Rights party, but that the more intelligent and
liberal of his own party have frowned upon them
as unbecoming, ungenerous and untrue, for we
feel confident that the language held forth at that
meeting never could be recognized by auv men or
set of men who have a proper regard for their
own interests and the feelings of their fellow-citi
zens.
But tho author must either have lost his senses,
or he never had any, or else must believe the peo
ple ol Georgia entirely unacquainted with the lan
guage ol their mother tongue, if he expects to
make them believe any other construction of these
resolutions thau they first received, and which
every man possessed of the least particle of com
mon sense would unhesitatingly give to them.—
It is as plain as two and two make four, that there
was an attempt to identify all those opposed to the
present “Administration of tlie General. Govern
ernment” as Abolitionists, and in fact it was so
asserted, and the language can bear no other con
struction, the declarations of the Author to the
eoijtrary notwithstanding.
If, however tlie Author wishes to get out of the
difficulty into which he has plunged himself, we
see but one course for him to pursue likely to
prove successful, and that is let hint come out aud
acknowledge to the world that he lias done injus
tice to those in the South opposed to the present
Administration of the General Government, aud
that (he language held forth in the Resolutions
referred to is untrue, aud his confessions we doubt
not, will be willingly received aud lie freely for
given.
The Author says, “it was the aim of our meet
ing and tiie object of oar resolutions to unite and
concentrate the Voice of the whole people,” on the
subject of Abolitionism. A powerful attempt,
truly, to “unite and concentrate" the strengtli of
the t?olith, to denounce a portion of her citizeus
as aiding directly or indirectly to the advancement
of Abolitionism. This is concentrating the
strength of the SouF a vengeance.
We should be united in opjH ' diOu to the nefa
rious schemes of the Abolitionists. r J 1 1C whole
South should rise up in the panoply of herpc ' vei 'i
and be ready to buckle on her armor whenever oc
casion shall require it. And we feel as much con
vinced of the fact as we are of any thing which
has not come inung'liately under our knowledge,
that if tlie Van Boren party of the South will
stand side by side with the State Rights party all
the Combined powers of Abolitionism would never
be able to shake tlie fabric of pur liberties; they
would defy all the mad fanaticism of John (Quincy
Adams and Arthur Tappan, together with the vile
slanders of Knapp and Garrison, and make them
quail and tremble before the determined spirts of
a p.eople determined to maintain their lights and
Vheir liberties.
We have, perhaps taken more notice of the
Author of the Harris resolutions, thiu the case
demands, but we have been impelled forward by the
reflection that a certain class ol tlie Van Biiren par
ty are in the habit of making the slanderous accu
sation against us of aiding and assisting the Aboli
tionists. It was first asserted by Mr. Cuthbert,
some few years back while editor of the Federal
Union, and followed up occasionally since, by oth
ers of the same fry, but invariably have they been
compelled, like the celebrated Author, to shrink
from the indignation aud contempt cf an insulted
people, and endeavor to plaster the matter over,
to allay the excitement created tv their foul slan
ders.
We would call tlie attention of oar readers to
tlie proceedings of a meeting of the friends of
State Rights held in Harris to consider upon the
Resolutions of the Van Buren party alluded to. —
They will no doubt meet with a hearty response
from tho breast of every lover of his country, and
the lofty tone of their language he admired and
applauded.
foh the oFormia nitirou.
Messrs Kditurs —Among other resolutions that
were passed on the sth April by the Republican
Union party of Harris county, we were sorry to
notice the following:
“Resolved, That- modern i Vhigism is a fraud
coalition o (Federalism and Abolitionism —the for
mer at war wi.li tire Constitution, and a foe to the
best interests of the country; tiie latter a mocke
ry of Religion, a burlesque upon philanthropy,
and a disgrace to humanity ; and that these axe the
elements combined for the overthrow of the great
Republican doctrines advocated by the present Ad
ministration.
“Resolved, That those who oppose the Repub
lican doctrines of the present Administration, are
either dirt-My or indirectly giving countenance
and support to the several factious which consti
tute modern udtigism."
We are un:i' !e to say which should most excite
our surprise or our indignation; that in Harris
county there sh uld b»xound so unblushing a
knave, who fearless of personal cousequences.
would dare to oiler such a malicious slander a
gam t Ins neighbors and fellow-citizens; or that
lucre could be found in any part of Georgia ten
sober white men who could lor a moment listen to
such palpable falsehoods without bringing him to
a summary account.
In all our political discussions we have ever been
careful not to bring so unreasonable and so foul a
charge uaainst our pohlicai opponents of our own
State. From the time of the first public avowal
oi the hellish views of the Northern fanatics, as
v e fondly hoped, so have we sincerely believed,
that no title Georgian. Union or State Rights man,
Whiar, Democrat, Republican, or bv whatever
name he might choose to be known, would, for a
moment entertain the most distant idea of aiding
and assisting in propagating their diabolical de
signs—designs, which, if once attempted forcibly
to be executed must bring about a separation of
the Union of these States.
Reflecting on the unutterable woe that would
fall upon our devoted country in the event of a
civil war, we can scarce bring to ohr command
words sufficiently strong to express our utter con
tempt and detestation of a set of men who mani
fest such wanton and reckless disregard to truth
and justice, and who, from well deserved obscurity
desiieto bring themselves into ignoble notoriety
by endeavoring to throw dissensions among us oil
so vita! a question, iu which, if our enemies suc
ceed, must inevitably cause bloodshed, and spread
devastation and ruin o’er the land.
Concerning the man Ingram we know nothin",
and now care less, but as for Col. Crews, though
knowing him to boa political opponent yet never
would we have suspected him of advocating such
notorious falsehoods.
Unless we are wrongly informed, the Colonel
not long since very wittily remarked, “if I choose
t" enjoy myself whose businiss is it? ” Nobody’s,
Col. provided you do not infringe upon the rights
an J privileges ol' others.
STATE RIGHTS.
FOR THE GEORGIA MIRROR.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
This is the inquiry-made by many people. I
have been traveling through the country consider
ably for the last six months, and almost every
where 1 haves seen two gentlemen rapidly going
through th<* country, very often together, and pav
ing particular respect to three-fourths of the peo
ple’s business. Seeing them so often, and always
so busy in other men’s matters, I was induced to
find out their names and place of residence, their
general occupation I had seen, when 1 was very
formally introduced to both these gentlemen.—
The name of one was Oppression, and the name
ot the other Ilardtimes. The physiognomy of
both are v ery unfavorable—that of the former is
froward, haughty, impertinent aud selfish; ami
that of the latter is lean, swarthy, pale, meagre,
ill-featured ami bad fated. In conversation I find!
Mr. Oppression to be very fluent, rather insulting
and al‘ igethcr self-conceited, which led me tr>
seek for h ; s origin, and becoming well acquainted
wiih h in he told me of his parents’ affinity, and of
livuiy of h’s rcHtivos and particular friends. Af
ter a cios** interrogation rs to hi.- parents h:s an
swers were not altogether satisfactory, he well
knew his mother and many of her relations, but
he war not at all able to identify his father, there
fore 1 put him down in my memorandum book as
mi illegitimate, if not, 11is father must be of ancient
ori in, and known in the Hebrew tongue bv the
name of Aba Id in. His mother I know to bean un
chaste, inc millions, bad and fickle, woman, her
name ia Specnl. tioii. Sh- is in the common prac
tice of cohabiting a;: 1 purloining with all classes,
ranks and conditions of men, Governments, bodies
corporate or politic, and neither -State tror Church
has escaped h -r miserable and corrupting infatua
tion. Great God? what a world of misery she
has upon man iu his brief passage through
life. Mr. Oppression is very nearly connected
with a certain class of gentry in our country,
whose business it is to loan him their cash for the
avowed purpose of making the rich richer, and
the poor poorer, and smooth this off in the
way of accommodation, by exacting usury
at an enormous rate—from 1(> to 50 per cent, on
their ban:: rags, that they use for the very diaboli
cal purpose of aiding Oppression in our land and
nation. This is an odious system of speculation.
Usury is strictly forbidden by the Holy ScriptCM'es,
if usury is a breach of one point of tlie law the of
fender is guilty of the whole law, and if every of
ll uder meets with a “just recuittpence of reward,”
how shall those usurious persons escape a just in
dignation ? Verily the centre prison in hell w ill
be their eternal portion.
This same woman Speculation, has purloined
with the Government of these United Slates, also
with the United States’ Bank and with almost ev
ery State and every Bank in the world, and all
merchants, traders, adventurers, and in fine with
every body, almost so much so that old General
Jackson, in his lute administration, become so
jealous of her because he, m his dotage, believed
that she hived Mr. Biddieand tlie U. S. Bank bet
ter than him and his Administration, raised a great
row about it, and abused the old woman very much
and finally swore he would kick her out of vlie
Republic, and begged all his friends not to charge
themselves with the affair, but consider the mea
sure entirely his own experiment, and he would
“take the responsibility.”
The President also affirmed that there were a
certain class of men in tlie country connected with
this same Speculation, about whom he was so mor
tified ; that they were poorand pennyless, and but
for the iufiuenccof Biddieand his Banking insti
tutions, could not obtain credit, such lie declared
“ought to break," although they, no doubt, were
aiming to make a living and property as honestly,
or more so, than the venerable President himself
or any of his Loco Focos.
Tho Experiment has failed, and now what is the
consequence? The debts due the Government
must be paid to its agents in specie, and the people
of the Government for their dues mu.it take in
payment worse than Bank rags— Treasury Notes.
And these very Government Agents and Officers,
after wringing the last cent out of tho citizens in
specie that the Government and her agents have
any claim to, turn about and sell this specie at a
heavy premium to make up their returns to Gov
ernment in these infernal Treasury drafts. So
much for General Jackson’s Experiment, and so
much for his “Responsibility.”
Speculation is of too long standing and of too
ancient origin for Gen. Jackson and all his coad
jutors to put down even if he had been sincere in
his Experiment and Responsibility, which no ho
nest man believes he was, when they see the train
of circumstances that has followed in turn at the j
very heels of the measure. Every candid man |
knows his aim was power, to make his will sove-.
teigti in all future administrations of the Republic.
The Experiment, instead of a blessing, has proved
a cu.se on our laud r.ud nation. It has given rise
to speculations u;»Cii the vital prosperijy and life of
the nation, such a-- were uever known to these U
niied States from their earliest s ttlemenfs as Bri
tish colonies down to the end of the sixtieth con
stitutional American Administration. At the heel
of such measures come those two gentlemen just
spoken of, and r.owouderso many people get ac
quainted with them. Mr. Oppression declares
himself openly a near kinsman to the pre
sent Administration, anu Mr. Ilardtimes is his im
mediate successor as a matter of course. "Now,
fellow-citizens if you are reallv sick of such com
pany as those two gentlemen,T u 7 iU frankly give
you my views how to get clear of tltem right de
cently. In the first place Speculation has its le
gitimate sphere, and instead of using your surplus
cash for the diabolical purpose of shaving your
noor neighbor in want out of his hard earnings,
with your money, buy Bank Stock, associate vour
s -lvos iu a common corporate body, make your
Bank paper punctual, sound and good, and operate
on it, and tiie country at large will be benelifted.
You will always have enough of applications fir
your facilities and those applicants will gc.n rally
be solvent, persevering business men, who, bv
your accommodation to th-ui will he able to giv e
the poor man a better price for liis labor to his
and his families great benefit; the industrious me
chanic is rewarded and encouraged : and the plan
ter, rich or poor, is able to get a better price for
his surplus produce; business of every kiud, is
more easy and free, and if your capital invested
does not yield so large a clear profit, you will have
the great consolation of knowing you have not
robbed the peer; then are no wife and children
crying with hunger and cold because the bailiflfor
sheriff has driven to auction their last cow or only
bed, or their prospects for life and living to pay
your execution, only to bloat your lordly purse,
or clothe your family in gaudy attire. But you
will have the sweet recollection that you have aid
ed some worthy, enterprising and industrious man
in his business, to his benefit, aud a blessing to tins
industrious every where, and yourself handsomely
profited.
This I consider one of b’ legitimate spheres of
speculation, and such an one ns is beneficial to
tlie community. Let all this whim and farce a
bout a hard currency cease, because Banknotes
are more convenient than specie, easier carrii d*
transported without loss or co it, and when confi
dence is not shaken in the Bank tiie Bank can'al
ways afford a plenty of specie to furnish the coun
try with plenty of change, and this wiii of itself
exclude those litth* shin plaster.', from circulation.
Therefore let the work now begin, lay the founda
tion aright, take up your Bank .stock, begin opera
tions as soon as possible, aud you have nothing to
fi ar in bringing relief to the country or a portion
of it, at least around you, Locate your Bank at
Florence and mui are surrounded by the wealthy
a>:<] industrious of a rich aud grow ing eduutry sit
uated on q good and navigable liver aud r.t a con
siderable mast of trade and commerce. Lay down
your little party ilivisa.ns about location and go
ahead with your Bank and tlie people' of this com
munity willstand up to you like brothers and ha:l
the days of your operations as the signs of better
times.
