Every thing changes in seven years.— at least, so runs the proverb, anil the course ol politics in Georgia, is likely to establish its verity. The years *?5 and ’32, mark the commencement of new and district political eras in the annals of party in this State, and unless we mistake the indications of the times, the year 1830 will commend itself to the notice of the future historian, ns the be ginning of another epoch ol the same series. The present is regarded by all who observe the progress of events, aH the most impor taut crisis which has occurred in our histo ry during the last seven years. To the State Party, it is important because, having just emerged into power, alter a long ami arduous struggle against error in its most imposing forms, they may now add their testimony to the omnipotence ot truth; and, deriving encouragement trout the past, move forward under the auspices of united and virtuous counsils, anticipating tha preva lence of benigu principles for at least seven years to como To the Union Party, the period is also peculiarly interesting, and so they evidently regard it. Having lost the balance ol pow er, they are now engaged in the most des perate exertionsto regain the ascendency,— or, failing in that, to hold <>d by some pos sibility to the "lew remaining offices," now in their possession. Their plans hate been deliberately concocted, and their Presses, stimulated by the fear ol losing the spoils, have gone to work with characteristic zeal in carrying them out with the people.—As usual, the resort is, to a system of decep tion ; but, we apprehend they will find it more difficult than formerly, to mislead the people, whose credulity they have already abused. We have said their plans were systematically arranged, and tho facts war rant the conclusion. First, we hear one of their organs at the seat of Government, in a very consequential tone, reading to the mul titude, a most pompous essay on the old political maxim—"principles, not men,” — in which, contrary to all human expectation, and no doubt, to his own astonishment, byu violation of cvwy rule of logic, it is clearly proven to mean nothing more or less, than, ‘hat even body should unite in the support of Mr. Van Boren! The cue is immediate ly taken, and next follows, in the deception, one of their presses on the extreme border of the Stats, who with the affected disin teredncßß of a peace-maker, pretends to "hold forth tho Olive-branch” and desire the end of political discord. This effort is the most unfair and di-ingenuous of the kind, that has come within our obsertntiou. It pretends, as the mouth-piece ol the Ad ministration party, ‘ to hold forth the Olive l,ranch of pence” —and yet, makes not the slightest concessions of principle, nor aban dons any of the objectionable ground which it has heretofore occupied. The effort is evidently designed to delude the people into the belief, that Van Boren's popularity has borne down every obstacle in the South, and therefore, that there v. ill he but little, if any, opposition to his re-election. And hotv is it proven ! As usual, by misrepresentation. In Carolina, it is said, there is hut one parly —that, ••nine hundred md ninety-nine out ■of every thousand of her citizens, are sup porters of Mr. Van Boren, and will vote for his re election!” It is well known, that these assertions are without foundation io truth. In that gallant State, there is yet a strong and decided opposition to the Admin istration of Van Buren;—Hayne, Hamil ton, Legare, McDuffie, Prestor. and Tbonij - son, are arrayed against if, and there is great doubt, if with their opposition, and the in fluence which they have acquired over the elections of that State, it cau he carried for Mr. Van Buren at all. But, suppose we admit the likelihood, that Carolina will cast her electoral vote for Van Buren, will any one have the eifrontery to assign as a reason, his open and deadly hostility to the schemes of the Abolitionists /” Certainly not,—es pecially, since it is notorious, that the only claim which has been urged by his friends in Carolina, is, his conjunction with some ol her jiolitical leaders, and his position on the Trkascby Qi’kstxos. We are no advo cates of Mr. Clay, but whenever the issue is fairly made up betwixt him and Van Bo ren on the question of slavery , we venture the opinion, that the latter cannot receive the •support, of South Carolina. Indeed, wo arc ustouisbed at the temerity that dares to re commend him to the suffrage of the South, in the face of his avowed principles upon that subject. I?" 1 'here is another false impression, attempted to palmed upon the minds of the peopit-, which demands ex posure. It is this,—-that, in Irt-vUdii, n ot 'a feu' of the £tatc lliehts Party have deter mined to support the p-rsent inrumhent of the Presidential Chair. We caution our friends against the insidious efforts uow making by the instruments of the present corrupt Administration to delude them into its support. The body of the State Rights Party of Georgia, are, at this moment, as firmly united in ceaseless and uncompro mising opposition to Martin.\ an Burnt, as they have been at any former period;—uor shall his contemplated visit to this State, nor hts connexion with Mr Forsyth in the next canvass, nor his coalition with Nicholas Bid <'!p, Esq. abate, in the smallest degree, tho rigor of that opposition. Petty considera tions like these, can have t>o influence with a party, who, during seven long years of proscription and persecution, evinced the most indomitable attachment so principle. Let our enemies be not themselves de ceived. The State Rights Party, have suf fered too long and too much from their re lentless persecutions, to be cajoled into an alliance, in the very moment of victory, with those who never forgave an enemy, or spared a victim. It is a stigma upon the un spotted honor of tit# party, to intimate, that anv considerable poition of it i* ready from trifling induce Tents, to fly off from old us- Foc itions, and unite with those who hold ns principle In cotn-tit'O *’"ii fitsm, save tT.at of hostility to a single indicidual. But, suppose there be a few malcontents, this should not be discourag ment to our friends ; for. although we may deeply (regret the fal ling away of an y portion of our old com rades in the ap p*oaching contest, yet we have cheering assurances of a heavy acqui sition of streugth from the other side,— whilst our loss, if nuy, must be but "few." We have reason to believe, that many of the most talenttd and virtuous of the opposite par ly. thoroughly disgusted with the weakness and inefficiency of the Administration, have not only determined to withdrawfiom it their support, but, animated by a laudable desire to restore tbe Government to its original purity, will lend to the prostration of the j>re <eat dynasty, their powerful aid. We s»p , predate their motives, and cordially extend >o them the right baud of fellowship. We hope and believe that our friends of ,ie Columbus Enquirer are causelessly an vious, in relation to the aciou of the Stwte Rights party, on the Presidential question. While we are perfectly assured that the party could never be brought within sight of the ptflht of supporting Mr. Van Bureti the man who has trampled on all their principles, aud who has exerted every effort with all the power and influence of Ins office to trample themselves into the dust of dis grace and degradation, we are not le6s assur ed that the party arc uot to ba brought to the supportof Mr. Clay.—Every oay shows the wisdom of the course of the State Right Party, in abstaining for the time, from all excitement on the Presidential question. We can not, none can tell, who may y*t he brought before the country for that liitih office. We even at this moment perceive strong indications in various quarters, and to us altogether unlooked fpr, in faror of pre senting Gen Scott for the office. Let us see who are to lie brought forward, and in the event of none other than Mr. Clay, who with all his greatness, has ever been con sidered in bis politics as adverse to those entertained by our party; or Mr. Van Bu ren. who has no principles at all. who lias been for and against almost every prominent measure which has arisen doring hi« poiit ical career, for the tariff and against the tariff, for the war and against the war. for Mr. ’Madison and against Mr. Madison for De Witt Clinton and against, Mr Clin ton, for Rufus King and against Mr. Kinr, for Geo. Jackson and against Gen. Jackson and who has only beco consistent in not re canting, so far as has met our eye, his oppo sition to the admission of new States unless they become abolition States, (Florida a moug them) and the maintenance of the right of free negroes to vote.—we say, if these arc all that are offered to the State Rights partv, the South is not so impoverished in intellect or in patriotism, but that she can choose her own candidate, iu the last re sort, whom ihey can support with all their heart, and feel tio reproach iu dpiug so.— Let tjs await events.— Southern Recorder. How to punish a Tipling Husband,—To wards tho latter cud of last winter the wife of a farmer on the borders of Romney Marsh, hit upon a whimsical expedient in ordorlo induce her husband to spend a little less time at the public house and more at home. Ex postulation bad been in vain resorted to when one night, upou his return, as usual at the approach of midnight, the. lady passionately declared that if such conduct was repeated she would throw her infaut iuto a canal close by, and herself after it. A few days only elapsed before the neglectful husband again tran-'gressed, and morning had arrived ere he knocked at his own door. ’Without ut tering a word she set down the candle, *r:u- ked deliberately to the cradle, {matched up its sleeping burdsß and towauls the river, followed by her alarmed husband. He was just in time to seize her, but the poor little thing was already in the wafer, and he could witness its struggles. In an instant he threw himself in, and grasping the night gowu which had prevented its wearer from sinking, brought safely to the bank ---the cat ! dressed in Polly’s bed-clothes, exceedingly wet,and now mewing piteously. His spouse iu the mean time had regained her own door, which was not opened till he had plenty of lime to enjoy all the comforts of his sit uation. Before, however, he was quite an icicle, admission was vnnehedsafed ; and tho story of his self iuflicted ducking having got wind, the jokes of his convivial acquaintance prevented bis again partaking their revels. In fact, even up to the present time, the lit tle urchins of the neighborhood take care that the cry peculiar to the feline species shall haunt his footsteps. London paper. Chapped hands and lips. —“ Many ladies,” says the New Era “complain bitterly, at ibis season of the year, of chapped lips and hands, fee. As far as hands are concerned, it tnav be all natural: but the fact is, when we see cH.vrs frequently about a lady’s lips, we say nothing, but can’t help thinking some.”— Boston Republic.

Journal. FOLLOWING ADVICE. Some years since a gentleman in Boston, bought from a New Orleans merchant, a lot of sugar, giving in payment a check on a Boston Batik. The Merchant, a short time afterwards, having mislaid the check. \vr< ;c on to the drawer in Boston, that it was stole/ and requested hitn to advice the Bank of the fact, and not only to refuse payment when oflCrOd. but to arre-t the person presenting it. The check was afterwards found, and the merchant gome North himself, presented it at the counter of the Bank—when he was accordingly attested and thrown into Jail, notwithstanding all his protestations of inno oeuce and ownership. A correspondent of ours in Abbeville Dis trict, unde.- date of the 13th inst. says. “The Town Cotlncil of Abbeville Vill ige have refused to grant any person License for retailing spirtuons liquors in that place. This step of course created considerable excitement. By 6ome it is pronounced an act of tvranical usurpation, while others consider it the best means of suppressing vice and immotality.”— Grecruville Moun taineer. TIN? PRINTER’S LOVE.

Wc learn from a gentleman just from Ma coo, that the Branch Bank of Darien, in that city, had closed doors and stopped payment he likewise states, that the impression gen erally is, that the Bank is completely used up. The Rev. Jonathan Davis, the agent and one of the t directors of tho Brunswick and Florida Rail Road Company, will be in Lumpkin on Thursday the 23th. iu»t, with a view of explaining to the people the claims of that rnterprize upon the support and pat ronage ofthis section of country. Subjects of vast moment to the Southwestern coun ties of Georgia will be submitted, and Rooks will be open for taking stock. The meet ing will be in the court house at 9 o'clock afternoon. THE VAN BUREN PARTY. This party seem to be in a deal of trouble through fear that the S: ite Rights party will no? b« divided on the Presidential quee. tion, consequently every expedient is hit up on in order to bring nbout t n end so desirable to them. They accuse the State Rights party with ihi lesign of supporting Henry Clay, nnd thet depict all the dark spots in his charac ter, ami upon that argue the inconsistency of the party iti giving him such support; they, in fact, talk and write about the muter just as though tho party had already openly dc_ clared for him. Such misreprasentation is too outrageous to receive countenance from any community who have any regard tor ve racity and publio virtue. Now, the very men who thus talk, know full well that tho leading characters and thinking members of the State Rights party can never be brought to the support of Air. Clay—..nil consequently they must know that when they assert that the State Rights party, or any considerable portion of thcmi design throwing their support into tho scale of Mr. Clay, that they are perverting truth, and doing those who advocate the principles of State Rights and State Sovereignty, gross and unprincipled injustice. The Federal Union says: “Why skulk from the light? If they de sire the elevation of Mr. Clay, why not o pcnly espouse his cause, or toliuw the hon orable example set them by the Georgia Ar gus, and w.il manly co .T.ge boiaiy bring rward their resolutions of hostility to Mr. Clay’s principles and to his election ?” Wc can view the questions,quoted above, in iso other light than entirely superfluous and wholly disingenuous. By tho first in- terrogatory, the i-Jea is intended tobecou veyed that the .State Rights paity “skulk from the light,” when the Federal Union knows, and if candid, would admit, that that party ‘ skulk” as little as any orher, no mat ter what may be the doctrines that agitate tho country. Asa party, its members have always been ready to come out openly, fairly audio the blaze of the light of truth and jus tice, independently avow their principles and measures; and to the dark recesses of sit cresy they are entire strangers. The next question bears exactly thfc same character as the other, and in reply, we would remark, that when the State Rights party de sire the election of Mr. Clay, they will come out openly and advocate his claims ; it is not to he expected, however, that they will thus act before they are auxicus for his elevation- But, so far are the members that compose that party, from desiring his elevation, that they have come out openly against him, and publicly asserted that hccunnot receive their support. But the argument seems to be, because they, in their opposilion to Mr. Clay, have not, like the Georgip Argus of Columbus, espoused the cause of Van Bu ren, tbtfy are consequently in favor of Mr. Clay. Though the State Frights party have, “with manly courage brought forward their resolutions of hostility to Mr. Clay’s princi ples anjJ his election,” they have not, it is true, like ihc Georgia Argus, sacrificed tlietr principles to the support of Mr. Van Buren, their most bitter and deadly enemy, and the -orrupt and unprincipled chnugling; true it it, they have not, like the Argus, put in jeop ardy the Rights of the States, and the liber ties of the people, to support a man who has ever held the doctrines of the Proclamation anil Force Bill, and who has faithfully prom ised to walk in the tyrannical “footsteps of his illustrious predecessor,” And if, to be opposed so Clav, a '.nan or party is compelled to support V ,u Buran an 1 ill his corruptions, from such a dilemma “we pray, good Lord deliver us. It is somewhat amusing to see hotv kindly -he Van Bnren party take their new ally of the Argus by the hand and welcome hitn in to tneir ranks—how they extract and puff his editorials, and discant on his manly courage, and independence. The Argus is not exact ly used to such company, and *c presume, feels somewhat odd in his new predicament, and, although we much regret his, loss, we, nevertheless, as h© prefers the change, wish he may be made easy and comfortable in his new situation, aud feel himself “quite at home.” But again, toourcotemporaryofthe Fed eral Union: This paper continues a long editorial a bout the inconsistency of the State Rights 'Jr.rty in snpporrirrg Mr. Clay, anti insinn ates a like inconsistency in their refusing to upport Mr. Van Bureu; and likewise, pro ofing what tbe dear people will do with wbat he is disposed to call the "muffled support ers of Mr. Clay." Now, we are willing to -'lurit that the State Rights party would act nronsisteotly were they to support Mr. Clay; tut we would ask of our friend of the Fed* rat Union, what would become of their ,/rinciplts or their consistency, were they, like the Argus, to support Van Buren? Wba .-rinciples does be hold that the State Rights •arty advocate ? has he repudiated the doc 'riues of the Proclamation and Force Bill ? aas he renounced his Missouri Restrictiou principles? has he announced his conviction 'bat Free Negroes have no right to suffrage ? has he recanted his promise to trei.d in the footsteps of Andrew Jackson, the prints of which have almost entirely defaced the Con stitution of our conutrv ? Has he renounc ed all these, ami promised, in futuro to be more vigilant in the discharge of the duties that appertain to his office, and given assu rance that lie has the interest ofbis country at heart more than the success of those who bow submissively to his nod? If he has done all this, then might a Stale Rights mat) make some show of consistency in yielding him his support, and yuAt, with some better prospect of success, might with moro pro priety, invite such to the support of yonr fa vorite aud idol; but not till tlieu.

FROM. MAINE. The Evening Nows of last night contains the following:— '1 'he blow is struck. — We learn from a gentlotnau direct from Baunswick, Maine who arrived iu this city last evening, that an express passed through that place on the day our informant left, from the frontier with a message to Gov. Fairfield. The report runs, that the document contained intelli gence, that an mvasioo of the disputed ter ritory by a largo armed force of the En glish took place, nud drove off our laud a g**nt with the civil force stationed theta to protect our rights, took p.'Sxessiou of all the timber belonging to us, and hilled two clour men !* We do not credit the above, as our pi pers and letters roceivod by the Eastern mail last night make no inentiion ofany thin of the kind although the express* to Gov ernor Fairfield, which passed through Au gusta the other day, has excited a suspicion that there is something wrong in the wind. From the Arkansas Gazette. TIIK CREEK INDIANS. CkKKK Nation, March 15, IS3P. A meeting between the chiefs of the two districts (the upper aud lower towns) of this nation, took place on the 17th ult. being tho first time they have bceu assembled together iu council, for upwards of sixteen years, du ring which time they havo been continually at variance with, and living under different laws, chiefs, aud regulations, from each oth er, and foiming iu every respect, with the ex ception of language aud u few aucicot cus toms, an entirely distinct and separate nation, living even at the present time apart. The lower towns, or Mcltuosh party, residing up on and in the vicinity of the Arkansas river, aud acknowledging Roly Mclntosh as their principal Chief; aud tha others who formed the emigration of 133d ane 1837, having fix ed their habitations upon the two forks of the Canadian, aud have Opothyoholo as their head man and chief councillor, though nom inally Little Doctor ranks as their principal chief. It was an interesting scene. Near 1500 warriors were nssotnbled ou the count'! ground, about 1000 of whom formed the par ty of the Upper towns, who had come with the intention of making peace and sitting in council with their brethren of the Lower Towns. After performing their peace rites rod ce remonies, (which were highly interesting, though I conceiverit too tedious to enter into a description io detail,) the several chiofs de livered their talk », in which was displayed a great deal of native eloquence, tor the Creeks prills themselves greatly upon their oratory, aud very justly too, fur tho manner of their delivery, and the ease and grace of their ges tures, are very pleasing; the general object \ of which was to congratulate each other up ou the prospect uow before them of their whole tribe enjoying the benefits of the union now effected between them, and 'vhich they hoped for the future, would bestow peace, Kfti distribute all its attendant blessings upon them. Having concluded, they called upon the agent for his talk, which was interpreted to them bv Gen. Chilly Mclntosh. After addressing himself to the chiefs nnd warriors of the Aluscogues, he expressed his great satisfaction at sceiug them inert each other after so lung an absence, and more so at seeing so many evidences of a good un derstanding being effected between them, and hoped they would no tv have a speedy and micableadjustmuit of all their difficul ties. He reminded them of the tiino when their forefathers lived, how they kiudled their fires and smoked the pipe of peace, how they lay down and arose in peace, and there was none to make them afraid. That at length their hearts became wicked, they warred with ouch ofher, and stained the ground with the blood of their own propig. He desired them to remember the great strength of their tribe at that time, since which, what u great reduction had taken place by war and sickness! Ho desired them also to reflect upon the occurrenc es of their travel to their uew homo, how almost everv hollow tree hud become a grave for some of them, and that their path was now become whit* w ith the bleached bones of ] the Must-ogees. That all these misfortunes were-brought oil by their own wickedness, aod i. continued, would only terminate with the destruction of their whole tribe. They now, however, had kindled anew fire, for they had taken each other by the hand, and handed the pipe of peace from one to an- ; other. Ho hoped he n«w saw thorn with their hearts clean and free from malice and hatred toward each other, that ho had re ceived instructions from their great father at Washington to right them if possible, a..d that he would be glad when he heard of tho union of his children the Muscogee*, and he concluded by saying that he hoped they were fully aware of tha many 'advantages that would necessarily arise from a contin uance of the friendly feelings they had manifested towards each other at this time, that by persevering in this way they would soon disperse those dissensions which had caused them so much uneasiness ami trou ble, and by their now turning their attention to the cultivation of their fields, they would hoou become prosperous nnd contented: and although they had the reputation of being the best farmers of any of the other nations of their neighbors, they having no difficulties to combat with, could now soon eqrtal the whites in the appearance of their farms, and the quantity ol their produce; and, in bidding farewell, be hoped that th® present manifestations of peace and friend ship would long continue with them. Great credit is due C*d. Logan for tire ex ertions he has taken to effect this reconcila tion, for it was not until after repeated meet ings of the chiefs of the Upper Towns, that Ilia interference proved of any avail; for af ter twice appointing a time and place, and giving him an assurance that they would amicably settle other differences in council, rokjfteo did they disappoint hint ; and noth tug but the most untiring assiduity at the third attempt prevailed. lt will be probably recollected that no email degree of apprehension was f*‘lt throughout Arkansas on account of the re ports cireolated last summer of the inten dod hostility of the Creeks ; and though they, at that time, had not the slightest in tention of odjnmUting any hostile depreda tions upon the whiten, yet they were torn with intenso commotions; diflacnlfies of a senona nature were brewing between the two parties, which had they been suffered to become ripe, would eventually have broken out into open war, which, in all probabil ity would have extended to the whiles.— Thus, by this reconciliation, all apprehen ded difficulties sure dissipated, and the proba bility is, that pc.we trtli or a cot siderable space of time, an inhabitant of the Creek nation, and the whites have now at) assurance that they have little to fear from aay hostile intentions of the Muscogee*. A lU.SJD/5T or THE CKKLK HATIOS. GOOD NEWS FROM MEXICO. By an arrival from Tarpp’co yesterday, intelligence of an event highly propritiouy to tbe cause of Federalism was received. A letter has been shown to us, addressed to the collector of this port. Mr. Breedlove, by the American Consul at Tampico, stating that General Mexia Lad au action with tho government troops tinder Geuera! Cos. om the 15tb of March at Tospan, and foricd him to surrender. The angagemenl was, well contest'd aud bloody. The number of tho killed among the Centralists was, ! computed at near three hundred, and seven hundred were taken prisoners.—-The Io»* _ l on the 6ide of the Federalists is uot stated. The *outo of Cos's army was complete—- Very few of the soldiers made good their re treat from the field of battle, nearly all be ing killed and captured General Cos, it i* said, made a very narrow escape by putting cn n disguise, under which be eluded the vigilance of his pursuers. If caught, tho probability is that he will uot fare so weil as he did in tho Texian campaicu, as it is not agaitift the rules of Mexian warf.itt to shoot prisoners. The defeat of General Cos, > will uo doubt fiustrate the plans of General Bustaniente and Arista, who were marching upon Tampico with a formidable force, and be compelled to a retregafle movement. Tho unexpected and brilliant success ol Mexia, had infused fresh hope iutodespair ing Federalism. The event was celebra ted at Tampico, with public rejoicings. If the victory is followed up and pushed with vigor, it may result in the subversion of tho present government; it even now totters to its fall.
