Frn.il the Qeonrni Jl'lrmiL. judge McDonald and the tas sels CASE. O. of our correspondents requests us t<< republish the resolutions, and tiie v.itc nil the same, of the Legislature ol 1330, rela tive to the case of George Tassel. He says that he has heard many substantial Union men assert that if Judge McDonald voted a g.iinst the resolutions denying the right ol liie Supreme Court to control the State ol Georgia in the enforcement oi her laws over the Indians within her territory, they can not give him their support —though he may be the candidate of their party, and profess to entertain tlteir principles—that il such principles are republican, they have been mistaken iu their notions of Republican ism. They are right—none but the most unadulterated Federalist would support such principles. And yet the people of Georgia are called upon to snjlpoit lor the liijiiest office within their gift, a man, who instead of repelling with indignation this attack up on the lights and sovereignty ol bis State, violates the will of l)js constituents, joins her enemies in the "most trying times," and shows to tbc world, by his vote, that lie is availing to prostrate his State, and yield up its dearest right, at the command of the Supreme Court. Wt cannot believe that such princioles will be sanctioned by the people of 'Georgia. They have already placed the seal of condemnation on one ol his co-workers iu this famous case,—aud on the first AjfomLy in October, it they true to themselves, another will share tue same fate. “.Mr. Haynes from the committee to whom was referred the communication of the Gov ernor oft his evening, presented a report, be ing read as follows. \Vhereas, it appears by a communication yon 1c by his Excellency the Governor, to this General Assembly, that the Chief Jus lice of tlge Supreme Court of the United States, has sanctioned a writ ol error, aud cited t i* State of Georgia, through her (,hief M igistrufe, to appear before the Supreme Court of the United States, to defend this State against said rvrit of Error, at the in stance of on# George Tassels, recently con victed m Hall county Superior Court of As crime of munlct; And whereas, the right to punish crimes against tiie peace aud good order of this .Mate, in accordance with existing laws, is au oiigmal aud necessary part ol vovereigu ty, winch (lie Mate ot Georgia has never uuried with: be it therefore resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives oj the Stale of Geor gia in General Assembly met , that tiiey view with feelings of ihe deepest regret, the inter ference by the Cbiei Justice ol the Supreme court ol the United States, in the admiuis tratiouof the criminal laws ot this State, aud (bat such and interference is a flagrant violation of her right.

This gentleman s > favoiabiy known to the citizens of Georgia is “ going ahead” of all opposition, and will obtain the strongest vote polled for Govenof is the •Slate for in my years. Wc would merely inform our State Rights friends below, that he is not oi. a tour of health in the Chero kee circuit. Limestone, water has not yet been prescribed by his physicians, as neces sary for his health, therefore we shall not expect to see him until Ins inaugural in Milledgeville.— Western Georgian. The union folks have a rare knack of making iHeir candidates “go ahead” before the election; we scarcely open a single paper, but what we see that McDonald is goitia ahead.” “Clear the track for Mc- Donald.” “Get out of the way you little folks, McDonald is coining.” Why really, they would have us believe there is no holding the “crittur.” Well! go ahead boys —make all tiie noise you can, if you think it will be of any service to you, and have all your fun before the election, for we intend to have it afterwards; every dog must have his day you know, and time about is fair play. Judge Dougherty, it is said, went with his lady to Cherokee for her health, and we suppose, if he found a lellow m the ronil who was at a loss how to vote for Governor he told him, at least we should have done so. Judge McDonald wen* to Savannah, and took iu his way several counties. As there is no “limestone water down there , fit for a dog to drink, and lie had no Indy to carry, we are at a loss to guess what he did go sot. A mao of his modesty would not pretend »o go electioneer iug for himself, indeed we rather think, if he found any body in a difficulty about i', he would tell him to vote tor Dougherty : this would he in charact r with him. Per haps ha went to see a “lady?’ If so, he is perfectly excusable, and we recommend him to bring the thing- to a crisis before tin election ; there will be no chance afterwards ; a defeated candidate stands the worst chauc• iu the world, to get a wife. But what made him take a round about way to Athens, and then take another round about way home? He certainly could not have been elec tioneering for himself, for when he does that, he turns out Ins whiskers, shakes eve ry fellow by the hand, and grins equal to Davy Crocket. He must have gone up thtte for some other purpose, we guess, aud it is merely .. guess, that he wanted two strings to his how, and went up there to sec the gals 100. Wc-expect lie will be out this way shortly, and then we shall find out whether Ins object is reklly to go a gallic /- hng. If it is not, we shall set it and itvn foi granted that he is electioneering for Dough erty, for he would never do such a tiling foi himself. Too straight up for that. From the New York Times. Government Land Speculators.—Bullet, Wright, Kcmlull, Croswell, John Fan Burcn , the president's son, etc, etc.-- In our columns a few dav since, we furnished the names of a lew of the principle stockholders in the the mammoth‘American Land Company.’ The Evening Journal has added to our catalogue the name of the President’s son, John Van Bureu. There is good reason to suppose, that the name of Kendall, the Post Master General, belongs also to this goodly company of speculators. He was questioned, before aCoininittee ot Congress, in relation to this company and the iuterest he had in it. Hts frieud Abija Maun, a member of the Committee, objected to the question aud it was excluded by a party majority of the committee. The object of the question was to siiow, that, to Kendall had been allotted some FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS of the stock of this company not to be paid for by him in money, but to be a com pensation to Mr. Kendall tor his INFLU ENCE! We can well imagine that, being a mem ber of the cabinet. Mr. Kendall could, in conjunction with Attorney General Butler, exert an influence in bringing certain lands iota market, at certain time ; that would be well worth to the compauy fifty thousand dollars of stock. A company withsuchan enormous capital, and engaged in tbe purchase of millions upon millions of acres of land in every state and temioty where government offeied land lot sale, could well aifoni nm thous and dollars for Kendall's influence. We couiinc.jd this catalogue ot worthies to those who are constantly crying out against “associated wealth,'’ “swiudlmg monopolies’* “charactered frauds” and “rag-barons.*’ We cannot dismiss these government speculators, without quoting from Ihe "Dem ocratic rerrerc," what islheiesaiu ol them and their operuiious in 1836. “PUBLIC OF FILERS also loa ed out the funds iu their possession, or employed them in their own tpecuLitions" ***** “The PUBLIC OFFICERS had their own private fortunes, the lorimies of their securities, and, in like in muer, die fortunate results of the spet ulations iu which they or their borrowers had engaged, * * and as there was no law proiiioitmg them from usiug tbe public funds, they followed tiie example that had been set them; and, along with al* the rest of the world p unged info every kind of speculation. ''Democratic Re view, vol. 5, No. 17, p.

Can there be a mure perfect description than this of the “American Land Compa ny.” compossed as it is of the highest public ifleets. Bank Presidents, and Directors, monopolizing almost all the pub ic lands of tiie Union, and establisl iug lor the meanest s:oi kliolders a "township," and for the higher guide of public offi era, such as SENATORS. Attorney General, Postmas ter Genera l, ‘Dukedoms; - ’ and principali ties for the princes ot' the b\ood. From the A\bay Evening Journal. The Americas La.m Company was formed in 1833. li overshadowed tiie Re public. Such a combination of wealth and power had never before existed among us. 'Plie 1 ighest officers in the General and State Governments were stockholders in this gi gantic Monopoly. The Articles of Associ ation were drawn up by the Attorney Gen eral of the United States, who was himself a stockholder, aud whose Brother was the President. IU Aleuts were sent abroad through the new States kud Territories, to monopolise all the valuable Public Lands. The Laud Offices were subsidized. Hie Surplus Revenue, then in the Pet ]}anks, was at the service of these S"eculators. Millions o dollars was invested in Michigan, Illinois, Wsconsin, Mississippi, Arc. The Stockholders of this overgrown mon opoly were selected from the men in power. V ast political and pecuniary inflitenre were combined. Standing at the head of the Al bany Stockholders, were Mess's. Ciioswf.ll md Bukt, Editors and proprietors of the State Paper. Then come Joiin VaS Bu ttEN, the son the President of tha United States. Silas Wright, jr. a Senator in Congress, through whose influence the de posiies were placed within the reach of the “Speculators, ’* was a Stockholder in the monopolizing American Land Company. Aud yet these very men have filled thd Country with their croakiugs against “spec ulation.” The Argus, whose Editors are opto theireyes inland speculation, denounce the slandered Gov. Seward as the “Spec ulator's candidate for Governor. Silas VViUGHt, who rails so Vehemently against “monopolies,” is himself a stockholder in this huge monopoly.

Editors —From the remarks in your last paper, in answer to tiie many en quries,as io who are or are not to be tbe candi dates of the Union party to represent Stewart county, 1 deem it a fair opportunity, to sub mit to you and the Stales Rights party of this county, my views ou matters connected with this subject. 1 confess Sir*, that my self in common with others of the State Rights partv have folt some curiosity to know what strata of policy , our Union friends would finally adopt in this matter, but Sirs, it was only an idle curiosity. Sirs, I never have, nor do I yet believe, that nominate who they might, there was any probability of their success, so long as our parly prove true toitcelf and its principles. It may then be asked, will they do this? I venture to predict that they will; and I base my pre diction upon its past history—let us then Sirs, recur back aud take a brief review of the history of the State Rights party of Stewart county from its earliest day up to the pieseot time. Sirs, il is attendee.! with many pleasant recollections; altho' I may not be numbered among the early settlers of ttys county, yet 1 well remember to bave marked with much interest the many hard fought battles in dcfeuce oftheir principles, to witnessing their struggles, I have at times regretted that it was not my good fortune to mingle in the contest with this feeble but .nl.aot littie band, who likeshe Roman veteran of yore, though oficu defeated and overpowered by numbers could never be subdued, but at each renewed disaster would use with redoubled vigour to the coming conflict. Under its seveiest trial*, when by means of delusion and ariifice the preju dices of the people were attempted to be swayed against reason and fair argument, t. ey stood their ground unflinching, undis mayed! When, again, their apponents iu order better to secure a party triumph and crush them at once, with all the vindictive ness of party renown, fulminated against their doctrines every vile anathema calculat to thwart the sober judgmenttof men even when the last desperate alternative was re sorted to that of portraying to the imagination - all the honors of Stale Rights, and all the blood stained deeds of Nullification, they withstood the shock, like men who felt they were contending for a cause which they honestly believed to be the only salvatinu for Southern Institutions, and for the final suc cess of which they were yet ready to en dure still greater trials. If such (as 1 verily believe,) be a faithiui picture of tbe past, is not the question already answered, tHat the same steady undeviating course will in fu ture be pursued anil their ancient watch word still be onward ? Ur. shall it be said of you, Stale Rights men of Stewart county, even now when the hour of rejoicing and triumph is at hand— w hen victory is ready to perch upon your banner— -when ilte reward for your past efforts are to be tiie firuit of one more onset, that any one of vou will prove recreant ? No it can not be! Jf there be any over eager for the Spoils of battle, let hint remember that it is not declared who are the victors— and he w ho at this critical juncture, deserts his post aud throws confusion in the ranks, let him be branded w ith traitor ! it is to be looted that none such will be found: be firm, be united ami ail is safe. Why should it be otlier wise ? Have you not nominated a ticket every way worthy your support ? Arc not your candidates honest, high minded, intel ligent men f Can any among your ranks be found truer to the laith, or tiave either ol them ever yet been suspected of tiinuninu Ihtir sails to every popular breeze 1 If sucli men be not worth our suffrages, then I know not what kind oi men you would have to Represent you. If the nomination be not al together agreeable to some from pcrsor.al pret orence lor others past it over for the sake oft he causeyou advocate,am! allow no minor preju dices to tarnish your integrity. Again Isay be united. Give neither countenance or support to tiie captious pretences of ambi tious or designing merj. Enter into no in trigues with any man. Discard eyery over ture from cv -ry quarter. If, for any frivo lous pretext, there be any disposed to fly off from tiie path of duty, let them g.o ! “an open enemy is better than a secret friend." Jo conclusion fellow members of the State fll —fits party 1 J‘ p sccch you give heed to the friendly admonitions of one w h° K'°! s a deep interest in the prosperity and success of our common cause—let us be firm, uni ted and above all watchful ; if we remain slothful and careless whilst our adversaries ai - e divrsiug every possible scheme for our overthrow their secret plots and cabals will defeat us by surprise. The present situa tion of our paity, reminds me of a striking coincidence, taken from ancient history, to which 1 beg leive to call your attention and tiustthat the lesson will not be without its proper moral. The ancient city of Troy had successfully resisted a ten years siege against the combined forces of all the Gre cian States-—finding they cobld not succeed in tlicir undertaking by open warfare, the Beseigers, in despair; had recourse to stra tagem. *ri enormous wooden horse was constructed, filled with armed Soldiers. The besiegers asked permission to introduce this great novelty in mechanism—in order to gratily ihe curiosity of the city , and not suspecting treacheiy, its gates which had withstood the batteries of a ten years seigo, were thrown open; the intrigue succeded and the city betrayed. No sooner than the horse was introduced, and the attention of the beseiged was withdrawn from their watch fulness, than the soldiers from within the horse rushed out, fell upon tlie multitude ami the City was taken! State Rights men beware of the wooden horse'. ’9B. noTice.

PRESENTMENTS Os the Gtand Jury, of Stewart Superior Court August Temi, 1839. "VK7E the Grand Jurors, selected, chosen t* and sworn for ihe County 01 Stewart at August Term, 1839, f< 81 it ibttr du y to make the following Presentment* ■’ wo view wiih great regret the neglected con dition of our Roads and Bridges generally, and believing as we do that ihe present' , Road Law |may l e much amended' we would therefore respecttully recommend that our Senator and Representatives, use their influence at the next Legislature for the passage ot a special Law to alter and amend the Road Law |no« of force, so far as relates to the County of Stewart, vesting the power in the Inferior Court of this coun ty, to levy and collect a Road Tax, wliith shall be applied to the opening and repariug public Roads and the building and icq aring all necessary Bridges and Causeways, all of which work to be let by contracts by said Court. We would respectfully urge the Inferior Court to cause the immediate collection of all rents due for officers in the Court House, and apply such nniount as may he necessary to the repuirs of said Building. Wt would further recommend that the several officers bo placed iu the possession of their com iv offices for whom they were intended, and that such officers be held responsible to tiie Court for any damage done, their . fi.ces during their term of occuuaucv. Tljo piematurc dilapidated appearance' ol our Court House prompts us to suggest to the Court die propriety ol placing the Budding in the care of ao appointed officer, whoso duty it shall be to keep the House io good order, to be used for thuse^.u,poses onfy for which it was intended, ’faking into con sideration the growing population and wealth ol our county, ihe rapid increase of tho elements ol litigation in our Superior court, and the great anti vexing delay of public justice in consequence ol the time, row allowed by Law, being far too short lor the im leased and increasing business ol the Court, and believing, moreover that a change of the Term of the Court would greatly add both to the comfort and health of our citizens generally. We would therefore recommend to our Senator and Represen tatives at the next Session of the Legisla tor, of the State to procure the passage of an act to amend the act so far as relates to the sitting of our Superior Com t, so that they may hold their r tilings, commencing ou the firs* Monday in March and Septem ber, that there be an extension of the time to two weeks. Being perfectly satisfied that the extension of the Term now recommended, and which'if absolutely and imperiously necessary, will gri ally in r-iease the labors of the presiding officers, already suffiru nlly and perhaps we,might say oppressevil} arduous, we would ‘ therefore finlher recommend to our Senator and Representatives in the next Legislature to Use their Lest exertions to have the Circuit divided. We would recommend the Col. Com manding to cause the collection of all Dub lin ArniF, ammunition and accoutrements belonging to the State or United Slates, and repoit ihe same to the Governor. We re commend the Interior Court to take into consideration the Kinrhelconn enuew-ay on the Travelers Rest Road and make such appropriations as they may deem expedient and proper, consistent with the present slate of the financirsof thoceunty. We would furi th?r remark, that large assembles ofour col oured population are peimilted io the coun ty Towns and Villages, which show a total neclect of the inforcenknt of the Patrol Law, we would therefore ft commend the proper officers to discharge that much of their duty, We present as a grit;a: cc the total neglect of duly on the part of onr offi cers, whoaie the administrators of the Law, by permitting a borda of gambleis to | ral through our country unpunished, and it is with (treat pain we are compelled to say that the Law is made entirely nugatory by the protection, they receive from those persons of whom better'things should be expected. Wc have examined tbe Books of tbe Clerks of the Superior, Inferior and' Ordinary Courts, and the 1 Books of the County I reasuer, and ftod them neatly and correctly kept. Having examined the Books of the Tax Collector, we have credited him for his iusolvenr list, the sum Os $17,75, for amount overcharged, aud the further sum of $258,294 on which we have ordered hu»’ to issue executions and have the several amounts paid over into the hands of tbS” Clerk of the Inferior Court, as ly Law di rected. In taking leave of his Hod. Judge Wllfc born, we offer him our hearty thanks fc# the able and disinterested manner he b«0 discharged his high and responsible duties* and tender to him ©i»r best wishes for Jus health and happiness.
