WILLI \RD BOYNTON, JOHN WEST, JOSEPH WOOD, THE PRESIDENCY. Fully satisfied of the propriety and policy of abstaining from a “choice of evils,” either r>f which we believe would inflict a dire curse upon the country, and resolutely determin- ed never to eompromit our principles, or suffer ourselves to be led astray front the great conservative dor trines. upon which, »ve believe, hang the future destinies of our country, we also, have hoisted at the head of oar columns, the name of that Patriot and Statesman, GEOROE M. TROUP, as the candidate of our choice for the next Presidency. Eminently qualified by his tal uts and virtues for that high and responsi ble station, and possessing, as he does, in the highest degree, the admiration and esteem of his fellow citizens of all parties through out the Southern St .tes, wc look upon his, ns the most appropriate name that could be | selected, and as one upon which the w hole South tnay unite, iu opposition to him, who, while his disciples profess for him “South ern feelings,footers and encourages at the North, principlesaud heresies, that, a', no distant day, threaten to subvert our 1 berries, and overturn the dearest institutions of our country. As the fearless vindicator cf the sovereign rights of the Stales, anil the champion of the Constitution, Gov. Troup lias exhibited a devotedness of patriotism, and a manly independence of character, which we may in vain search for, among those who move in the “magic circle” of power at the seat of government. We are therefore, proud to raise his bail tier, and as we unfurl it to the breeze, wc call upon ev«“ry friend to his country and to con stitutional liberty to rally nronnd it. We call upon all who are opposed to those per nicious and detestable doctrines ol Federal ism ami Consolidation, that characterize the leading measures of the present and late Administrations ; wc call upon all who are disposed to view, with a jealous eye, the glaring encroachments of Executive power, and the corrupting influence of Executive patronage ; we call upon all who profess to believe iu the doctrines of ’9B, and claim to be of the great democratic family ; r.e call upon all who would not be found fighting on the side of ties; otistn, and trampling on the only safe guards of the < (institution ; anil lastly, wc call upon every true citizen of the South, who regards the safety and well being of our institutions, and who wishes to put an end to misrule and corruption, and restore this almost exhausted government to its pristine purity and integrity, to rally a rouud the standard of him, who, in an hour, wlieu the rights of his country wen: assailed, dared to stand boldly forth, her champion and defender We extract into our paper today, an arti cle from theßuffnlo Patriot,for 'lie edifica tion of those of Mr. Van Bui oil’s Georgia friends who delight so much in ringing in the cars of the people, the stale song of the •Northern man with Southern princii Ies;” and we incline very much to the opinion, tha' the “democracy” will have to he more thoroughly drilled by the little magician, be fore the effect of such things as these cau be eradicated from their minds. In fact,so far as the matter of Abolitionism is concerned, the magician’s strongest talisman, and a double portion of magic would fail to con vincc the Southern people that his skirts are clear of the sin. Yet we are uublushingly told that though a Northern man he is friendly to the institutions of the Suitth, while he fosters in his bosom her bitterest enemies, and disgraces the couutry, by pla cing iu his cabinet as his confidential advi sers, those who seek not only the destruction of Southern interests, but the accomplish ment of schemes that would plunge the whole country into all the terrors of a servile war. Where is the man of common sense who wishes stronger evidenceof Mr. Van Bureu's •hostility to the South ? What unprejudiced mind can still profess to doubt on which side of this great and exciting question Mr Van Bu’eu is to be found ? None, who look up vn the action* of a inan to tell the feelings of hie heart; none, who are disposed to he honest id the matter, and will judge the char acter of t he tree by the fruit which it pro. duces, can hesitate, fora moment to assign to him his true position in the front of the Abolition ranks There are those, who, ta king their cue, from the succtss which has hitherto crowned tlieir chieftains tortuous |>oiiey, are, at all times ready to bound th e trunqiet before him, and proclaim his wis dom and his patriotism in the ears of the people, in order that they, too, may come in for a share of tlie spoils, which are so freely dispensed among the faithful. To such as these, evidence of the weightiest character is but as an idle sound and confir mation strong as proofs of holy writ,” is dis carded as an empty phantasy. But to those who think anil/te/ iu relation to the interests of the country, and the welfare of the Union, and who me still to be found giving in tlieir adherence of the piesent Administration, we would say, you are nurturing a viper in your bosoms, w hose fangs will one day cause you to repeul that you ever listened to the voice that persuaded you there was no poison there. Let the w hole Southern people ex amine this question for themselves, and they «ill find, that notwithstanding tire empty professions of friendship so loudly lauded for his beuefit at the South, that Martin Van Buren is an enemy in disguise ; and we haz ard the assertion, that were he convinced that die act would redound to liis personal aggraisdizemeut, he would instantly throw off the cloak of hypocrisy that conceals his true sentiments, would announce to the world his belief iu the creed of the accursed fanatic, and would aid in the effort to hurl the fire-brand of the incendiary ioto the midst of our Southern homes aud habita. lions. The Fourth of July ( has passed with its sad reflections, its patriotic temeniscences, its hilarity, its rejoicings, aud its thanksgivings, and we have entered upon the sixty-fourth year of American Independence; with what prospects as a nation, let a single glance at the affairs of the government, and at the character of those who wield its destinies, suffice to inform us. In the early and pros perous days of the Republic, before cor ruption had “crept into its high places,” and its rulers were selected for their honesty, ability, and patriotism, the recurrence of this day was a signal for the general out pouring of a nations, gratitude, when the oiuinary cares of life were tlnown aside, and neither personal uor political animosi ties permitted to interfere with the festivities ‘of the occasion. Then the votaries of the liberty, trusting in the fidelity of their pub lic agents, mid having nothing to fear from the ambition or faithlessness of demagogues in office,could assemble and worship around her altars, exempt from that solicitude and anxiety that must rend \lie bosom ot patriot at the present time. Then, all was hope ml sunshine; the political horizen was then free from the clouds that uow lower “pon it, aud bright and glorious an ticipations then supplied the placeo f gloomy foreboding*. What now are the feel ings with which the patriot mingles in the celebration? With the beautiful temple of our liberties blackened and defaced, and its massive columns undermined and tottering from the insidious attacks of men high in office, professing democratic principles, yet labouring to consolidate the whole power of the government in the hands of the few, what must be his emotions as he to listens the roar of the cannon that is wont to usher in the great jubilee of fieedotn? For our own part we must acknowledge, that with our eternal giatitudc to the illus trious heroes who purchased our liberties for us, were mingled sad reflections con cerning the precatious condition in which we hold those blessings to be placed. The following article from the Fredonia Cen sor of last year, eloquently expresses some of the sentiments wc felt while engaged in the ceremonies of the festival ou Thusday last. It is right, it is commendable,that the great inass of our citizens should participate, in such manner not inconsistent with morality as be*t pleases them, in hearty commemo ration of the Nation’s Birthday. It is wise not to scan too closely the means, if inno cent. so that the great end of awakening and keeping alive the fire of Patriotism is there by attained. Let us for one day in each year rejoice in the Freedom, and the just fame of our beloved country, and what she may have left of prosperity. Let us recall tlie Patriotism of her counsels, the wisdom of her sages, the courage of her citizen sol diery, and tiic constancy and unshrinking devotion of h'T People, in the glorious days gone by. Let us for one day turn our eyes from the narrow, the base and the venal, who now’ fill our high places, to the lustre wliicl halos to all ages the peerless name of Wash ington, and the moral heroism of Adams ami Jefferson. Leaving to that oblivion which is morecontemptu >u* th in contempt itseif.the demagogue.', who crawled into poiver in 1836, let us cast our thoughts back sixty years to the glorious hand who in’76 pledged to the holy cause of Liberty their lives, their for tunes, and their sacred honor. The contrast is refreshing, invigorating. We breathe a new and holier atmosphere. We cannot read three lines of the Declaration of Inde pendence without feeliug that there were in deed giants in those days—giants in intellect, in energy, and in resolution; highhearted men in all that became the statesman and the patriot. Such men were worthy to lead the way In the regeneiation of a continent—- and proudly will their names grace t!.e open ing I>age of our country’s history in all after lime. Well have they earned their proud preeminence in the Temple of Fame ; long may they preserve it !---Theirs was no miser able contest for office and spoils ; they eared little who ruled so their country was but served. Their day has passed; and a gen eration ofintellectoal dwarfs has succeeded Van. Buren sitsin the chair of Washington, and Leri Woodbury fills the post of Alexander Hamilton. McKin\ev, and such jurists have taken the plare of the Mar shalls ; and ChurchiU C. Cumbreleng grim-, aces where Fisher Ames and Patrick Henry eteeuiftcd.~-Tb« subjeet i» indeed a sad one, but the sorrow is into life. If the whole nation could be brought for one day to‘look on this picture and then on that,' it most be that the remedy w ould speedily be applied. It cauuot be that the People love degradation and misrule for its own sake.--- They must prefer rulers whom they can ad mire ,>s well as vote for, honor as well as support.—Did any man ever see the human being who would rvm pretend to admire the character of Martin V'an Buren ? A wav with the bitter theme ! It is the Birth day of Freedom, and we see (‘with he mind’s eye, Horatioe.’) a thousand ardent spirits gathered around the festive board. The wine is mantling it. the cup; the pulses of the vast assemblage beat high with rapture. The President rises to oiler a toast, and there is the stillness of hushed expectation. lie pronounces “Independence for ever,” and the edifice trembles with the responsive shout. Glasses are chimed and broken, and agaih—again—that shout locks the building to its foundation. Every heart swells with emotion—-every tongue is eloquent with the fervor ol exulting patriotism. The thunder subsides but in the languor of complete ex haustion. “Independence for ever!”— It is a noble sentiment. But, friends around the man tling board, you have not now to learn that Liberty is enjoyed put at the price o I Eternal Vigilance. Neither wine uor revel will pre serve it against ihe insidious and sleepless approaches of corruption and despotism, neither huzzas nor patriotic impulses form a rampart to shield it from danger. .Its vociferous summer friends of to day maybe its deadly enemies when the storms of a dar ker time shall assai it. Nothing but vigilance ;-‘ober, keen eyed dispassionate; can preserve unsullied to your children the precious in heritance you have received from your fa thers. FOURTH OF JULY. This memorable occasion was celebrat'd in our town in a becoming and appropriate manner. The Georgia Guards, a beauti ful and soldierlike band, honored us with a visit, and by their n anly appearance and symmetrical movements, elicited nnivcrsaj admiration. Their entrance was the signal for forming the procession, which, under the conduct of Majors T. J. Ste!!, and L. C. Morgan, as Marshal and Assistant Marshal, marched to the Independent Church, where the large and overflowing audience listened with .mention, to Prayer by the Rev. Thomas Gardner, tha Read ing of the Declaration by J. D. Pitts, anil an appropriate Oration by J. L. Bull. A numerous audience of ladies were in attendance, proving, that in patriotic en thusiasm and love of country, the ladies of Florence anil vicinity are worthy daughters of tlieir Revolutionary mo’hers. At half past one o’clock the ladies and gentlemen assembled at the table and par took of the repast provided for the occasi on* Owing however, to a disappointment occasioned by a failure ot u*b host to com- i plete the arrangements for drinking toasts, the company adjourned without having had the pleasure of listening to the many pa triotic sentiments that had been handed in for announcement. We give place to a few of them to day and in our next, will publish the balance. REGULAR TOASTS. Ist.

Messrs Editors: —A movement of singu lar novelty, has occurred in the temperance* reform I allude to the attempt now making in this State, to arrest the retail of ardent spirits by the interposition of the law. An attempt sc important, so new, so much in conflict with long established usage, and with the appetites, prejudices and interests of such an innumerable multitude through out the civilized world, cannot but meet with file bittprest opposition ; it is what all labors for the reformation of long established abu ses have ever been doomed to encounter. A few dispassionate thoughts, from time to time, asleisure may permir, on a question which is at the present moment, exciting so much public aitpntion, will not, it is believ ed, he considered out of place. Connected with the present subject, there is one position of fundamental importance in the controversy, upon which, so far as is known to the writer, all are agreed, to wit: that til? retail of ardent spirits, standing, as it dees, in such intimate connection with (he intemperate habits of the people, is an evil, surpassed by none, in the innumerable mis eries which it is now diffusing through the land, and in the curses which it has entailed upon mankind during the present age. The most abandoned drunkard, if you can find him sober, is compelled to admit this ; it is a truth too stubborn, and has been present ed especially to the * mericau people in too many ways to be denied. This question, then, very naturally arises, is there any lliintr, eitner in the nature of the evil, or in the rights and interests which it may be said to communicate, or in its mode of operation, which should exempt the retail trade in this article from those legislative remedies and prohibitions, by which othet evils have been met and put down? This ; m p ( ;vinr>t inquiry is undoubtedly the hinge upou whicr. this controversy must turn. It is the business', •> n ' a y J» e added, the duty of the legislature, to p«’C‘ v ' ,^s fur the best good of the greatest number. Whenever viqp of any description becomes so hig!’ handed and intolerate as clearly to exert a corrupting influence on society, impair the health, increase the mortality, diminish the industry, or lessen the comforts and resour ces of the country, a case is fairly presented, meet and proper, in every sense, for legisla tive action; nay, an emergency arises, which renders it <he especial duty of the Legisla ture as the faithful guardians of the best in terest of the people to interpose in the most effectual manner to abate the mischief. I again repeat, what is that in this evil that should exempt it from the accustomed routine of legislation? What is there that renders it so immaculate, that it may not be touched by your law-making power? Is it because it has become hoary by age? Has the lapse of time rendered it such an inesti mable privilege for men to get drunk, mid to become living nuisances to all around them? I trust not. Crime can neither be legalized nor sanctified by usage; what truth and rea son condemn as wrong and pernicious, is not the less so, though it may have existed with perfect freedom ever since the earliest annals of time—a practice, fairly test' and anti found clearly destructive to the welfare of society, should be put down though it may have been growing for centuries. We all well remem ber, that lin'd tho«e high wrought concus sions of intellect which led to the American Revolution, and terminated in the establish ment of our iincrij' religious intolierance, the right, the privilege, if you please, to per secute for differences of opinion in matters of religion, had existed from the earliest period of time: did the sages of that glori ous age of enlightened inquiry, spare this evil, because it had been sanctioned by the generations which had gone before? Ig norance and darkness had for ages lent their sanction to a tyranny of rulers by which the people had been immemorially impoverish ed and degraded ; was the privilege to tram ple the people under foot, supported as it ever had been by the practice of nations, considered too sacred and inestimable forthe bold and searching reformations of our fore fathers? No, it was sufficient for them to determine that these things were wrong to in duce them to cut them down, without stop ping to inquire how long they had lived, or how old they had grown. One age has no right to saddle upon another either its ig norance. its follies or its crimes : otherwise, all atjvauees it) improvement would come to a fatal stand, and the same darkness that shrouded the primitive continue to wrap us and our posterity; to the end of time, in the deepest gloom. If 1 am con vinced that mv father was wrong in a long cherished error, my children are entitled to the benefits of try discoveries, and the lights of my wisdom ; if one generation discovers that another hath been deluded, misled anil benighted, succeeding generations should know it, that they may avoid the rocks upon *hich their predecessors split, anti that they may enjoy the blessings of wh’c'i their pre decessors were deprived, and t tat inaukin may goon from age to age, increasing in koowl dge and virtue, until ihe last r.-lii * id ignorance and baibarism shall sustain a ,ast ing defeat. In every oilier re*|*ect, except iu the application to the subject now under discussion, ou r iountry is sufficiently en lightened aud liberal to recognize the full, practical efficacy and legitimacy of this prin ciple. This is the principle which has been so active for the last fifty years, in increasing t lie resources, multiplying the blessings anil facilitating the iutercouise of all | arts of the civilized world : without the existence of this principle, we s'lnuld have known a> little about rail roads and steamboats, and constitutional liberty, as our forefathers who lived upon the eanli one thousand years be tore us. And it is to this progressive march o! mind that we are indebted for the fluod oi light, which lias, within the last twenty years, been pouted upon the use of ardent spirits, and upon (he subjects immediately connected with it; yes, the torch of truth has, within a few years, blazed on this mat ter with such concentrated intensity—that all may see, as clearly as if it were written with sunbeams, t*<at the intemperate use of ardent spirits is nn evil surpassed by none that has desolated the world ; the minds of the most benighted begin to be illuminated, even the most degraded drunkard sec-g and trembles. Os these innumerable and valua ble discoveries on this subject society and posterity are, upon every principle upon which one generation is authorised to derive instruction from another, entitled to the full benefit. Away then with this miserable plea worthy only of the in istbatbarr ous age!— That our forefathers have ever hail thrown in their way every temptation to get drunk, and make themselves mere degraded than the beasts that perish, is no reason why these tempting fountains of iniquity should continue to flow; no reason why rights and piivlleges should be claimed connect'd with this matter, which we all now know, are a kind of licentiousness productive of “evil and only evil, and that continually.” Why not then, act iu the most efficient wav, and act at once ? The retail trade is the great nursery by which rite monster is nurtured and pampered for mischief. We all see and know it well ; why not then raise the strong arm of the law, nerved with the ■ majesty of an injured people, and assail the evi! when alone we can ever hope to con quer? for 2 will venture the assertion that there is such an- indissoluble connection be tween grog shops and i,?teniperart?'h that as long as the one remains unrestricted and in creasing. the other will continue ).? grow in defiance of every effortif we wish to eleanse the stream w-e must purify the I'oun tain A CITIZEN- Died at his resiuVnce in this place on Fri day night the 21st inslant the Hon.
