Shoitinir Slues of An .list Hi,4.-—The ]
meteoric s|irinkle expccted-abuiit the Dili
and 10th of the present month, has duly
in ils its i tieira ice. Fog saver tl evenings
previous to ti e 9th, when the sky was clear
it was noticed that shooting stars were more
frequent and splendid than usual, but no ex
tendtd nbn rvations upon them were made
until the night of Friday, the ninth. During
that niclit, in the space of five hours, en
ding at seven minutes after Iw o o'» lock of
the morning of the 10th, four observers .saw
in all, si.i hundred and ninety one differ < nt
meteors. At this time they were sli.luli
increasing in frequency, anil It ad ohrserva
tion been continued iitittl daylight, more
than a thousand metcoas would doubtless
have been seen. Os the number observed,
about one third part exceed' and in brightness
stars o’T he first magnitude, aid a few were
more splendid than Venus. About half of
them left luminous trains, some of which
remained vissible several seconds.
The night of Saturday, the 1 Oi It, was like
that of Friday, exceedingly clear anil fa.
vurab e. During three hours, ending at on"
o'clock of the morning es the 1 Mi, four
observers saw in ail fvur hundred unit nine
ty me ihflevei t metei rs. The average is Ifi t
per hour, while that of tho ejriosponding
period of the night previous, is 13d per
hour. During the .entire night as many as
thirteen l.muhed might probably have been
seen. As to m tgnitude, terms. Av. thev
were similar to tint meteors of t'm night
pi feeding. They were not diminishing
in abundance w hen the observations ceased.
O i both nights most of the meteor; ap
peared to radiate from region about the head
of Pi t ius (near iv. A. 37. deg, N. D 49
deg.) Few of them moved in paths which
would not, if traced back, meet in that vi
cinity.
During the night of the nth. the sky was
so much obscured by clouds, that no satis
factory observation could be made. It is
probable that the meteors were then dimin
ishing in frequency.

The good people of this Sta e have not at ]
this day with their intimate knowledge of
both the candidates before them for the
Executive chair, to be informed tint in this
iustance tiie contest is between Federalism
ami Republicanism. He cause the name of
Ii derails! iu this blute has never been ve
ry much iu esteem, we k i >,v th.il our
opponents resort to ail expedients to detach
from their candidate Uie name, eaieless
though they may be of the principles which
constitute that name. Hut they shall nut
be so indulged, they have urged the con
test, and they shall fairly bear its brunt.
Our readers are as well aware as nur-<
selves, on doubt, that the distinctive names
of Federalist and Republican, originated
alone, from tiie opposing principles ofronsti
, lotion a I construction, and have nothing to
do with matters of expediency, ac
knowledged to be constitutional. The
whole difference between the parties was a>ul
is, tiiat tiie Republican contended, at the
verv foundation otitis creed, tor a strict and
rigid, almost literal construction of the
Constitution —while the Federalist, on the
other hand, made the basis ot his polities a lax
and latitudiirniau construction of that iu
strtiment. This is the great point of dis
tinction between the Federalist and the
Republican, and ever must continue to b>‘.
Now in regard foJu Ige Dougherty, we be
lieve, it has never been pretended by friend
or foe, that he was other than a rigid and
ni -' rutMirn.i't of the ('nnstil ution ; on
this head, therefore, it would he but wasting
time to dilate. O.i the other hand, we
might use the same words iu relation to
Judge Me Donalt!, and he safe iu saving that
it never lias been protended, eituerby friend
nrfo**, that tie nuts other than a I.nil ta, 'inarian
I constructionist of the Constitution, during
Tie whole course of his political career.
! Hence, hoivevi r unpal.ilib'e the name nnv
| l>e, just at this moment, to our political
I opponents, thev must even take it. as it is,
and it they will act the manly and i depen
dent course, they « ill avow the truth at once,
that as between Judge McDonald and .Itidge
Doughcr V. for the Executive chair, tiie
choice siinj ly and fairly t fi'eiecl ti e people
if Georgia, is between Federalism, on the

Judge McDonald, as a Federalist, by
the most humid: i m m c instruction of the
Constitution which has ever been set up
by the strongest n:embers of the Federal
Party, claims for the Federal Government
the right to control .nil set asi.l- the eriini
mil laws of the tStatt s, acting on t‘ eir own
penpl •, within their own limits. Witness
the “Tassels” ease. Itv which the Feilt ral

right and essayed to x -rci-p it, () | ai'estiug
the course ot the law oftlie State, inrel tion

coct a case, to prove what federalism was.
or to pie I’d] a case of morn thorough I >\i v.
in regard to the i onsrt notion of the Consti
tution, could we i:n;v ine otic more palp ,b!c,
more irresistible titan tint one liefoiv us?
We-eon Id not; atoi if Judge .McDonald's
friends will deal with ordinary candor, they
will say tue same themselves.
-2(I!y. J udge Mel), ial.l, so far as we are
aware, has always sided with the Fe.h ral
Government, in its micms'.tulinnnl en

Troup's resistance of the anc > istilutio i il
action o! the Federal G tvern'innt, in rela
tion .<> t',e AVestern portiou of Georgia,
then in possession ol the 1 ndians. Did
Judge McDonald aid Troup i t his noble
maintenance of the rights of his State, in
that controversy? Did he unite with others
in the cry of Troup and the Treaty? <)r
did he aid and countenance the monstrous
attempts of John Quincy Adams, in Ins
threats to use the bayonet against the peo
ple ol Geotgia? AA’e leave these questions
to lie answered by his friends who nominated
him to gotern that State, at their best
leisure.
3<ily. On the Tariff question Judge Mc-
Donald is if we do not greatly err, through
ly federal and unsound in his opinions.
AA'liile we do not charge upon Judge Mc-
Donald the advocacy of the odious 1 nits
imposed upon the country : we do aver,
if we are not greatly deceived, that Judge
McDonald does pronounce and believe me
tariffs imposed to he eon-titutmual, however
unjust they may It '.---In this he is unsound
and unsafe for the South.
4thly. The same may be said, if we are
not greatly in error, in regard to his consti
tutional opinions, m relation to the consti
tutional power of Congress over the subject
of slavery in the Di triet of Columbia.
Does Judge .AJcDbni I believe that Con
gress is prohibited, by the Constitution, limn
legislation on the subject of slavery in trie
District of Columbia? AVe believe that
Judge McDonald believes i.o such thing--
that however much he may be opposed
to such action by Congress, (and wc have
no doubt he i • as honestly opposed to such
action hy Congress, as we are ourselves)
yet lie does not and will not. declare that the
Constitution prohibitssucli action. On this
point, then, we deem Judge McDonald
federal in his principles, and unsafe,
in the practical tesult of such princi
ples.
othly. The same may be said, w ith truth,
of the J udge, in relation to a Nat ion a I Bank,
lie finds no barrier in the Constitution, to a
National Bank—-with his politics l e never
can -but at present be deems such an insti
luiion inexpedient ; no cou-litulionu! barrier
being in the way, see the security we Jtave
on all subjects left to mere expediency.
To-day Judge McDonald deems such mi
i istituliou inexpedient, and would o; pose it;
bu< yesterday, deeming such an insiiuuion
expedient, he would have advocated it; and
to m now bis present views of inexpediency
may again change, and he may support it
again. So bf every otlt-r subject, when we
are not guarded by a constitutional guaranty
-—the only guaranty ol tiie libeitics of the
people. Mere expediency is a AA’ill o’ tiie
AVisp, whose light is only the light of delu
sion and danger—the Constitution is tiie
. true pn'ar star, whose light does not mislead
the pul,to al mariner, ami a guide by \v,'j c |,
he may always hope to steer the ship *,[
State iu tiie true course for >ij C s;,ff[ V
happiners and prosperity of the peo
pie.
Judge McDonald, tlv?", the candidate
of our opponents, we think we ha>e sniisf e
torilysliown to be federal in all his views,
feelings, and principles ; :l Federalist of the
highest osder; an honest one no and mbt, and
a gentlemanly and urbane one, but a Federal
ist still, and therefore unfit to be thu Ex
trutivenf a Republican State. The issue
being thus fai' ly made up, it is for the peu
to tit tide hy their verdict in October next,
whether in the choice of their Chief Magis
trate they prefer old fashioned Federalism,
on the one hand, or old fashioned Re
publicanism, on the other.

' ARK FEDERALISTS
Tins is a query which tve often not tret! at
the head ol leading articles in papers de
voted to tLe cause of Mr. Van Buren, and
' to the support of Judge M' Donal I as the
-Democratic" candidate for Governor of
► Georgia. Its importance, when examined
into, for the purpose of making a suitable
selection of a candidate to represent the
pen, Ic of our State, will not be questioned,
by any one interested in the general pros
! perity and happiness of our people Hut 1
! has this beer, the true reason on tiie part of
our political opponents for discussing tlt is
subject nt all ? Or has it not been because
of the nnfortunate position in which they
have placed themselves during several years
pa<t, ill nominating as their candidate for
Governor individuals deeply/ di/ed w ill) the
doctrines of the Oi l Federal Party. We l
believe the latter to be (he cause The
first- nomination of Governor Schley
w.,s successful. It was hard to nlake the
people believe that he was a Federalist.
Tiie second brought defeat. The eyes of
iho people were opened to the truth , and
they indignantly rebuked the party that
would, for a second time , pa'm upon them,
one whose principles and feelings w*»re not
of the Jeffersonian school. This should
have taught our opponents wisdom; hut
b’bid fatality st erns to lead them to destruct
ion, even at the very moment that they are
preparing to shout for victory. In iheir
late nomination of Judge McD.innM for
Governor, an ardent desire to place before
the people a pris >n i\l‘i popular man, over
leaped every other prudent consideration,and
ere they were aware ol what thev were doing,
they had placed before the people, in tire
person of tlipir candidate, one whose whole
pnlitici life /troves him to be wit it our op
ponents would most wish lie was not, viz: a
ti Fed ralist in the plain an / common mean
ing of the term. Shall we picceed to prove
our position to be tine ? That we may
not be charged with making assertions that
we cannot maintain, and that we may not
be troubled Hereafter tor the proof we shall
proceed t < show to our readers, t.slniiflv
as we ean, why we make tins charge, an I
how we tie prepared to prove the correct
ness of ini' position,
II o are Federalists? [( is generally
conceded, we ncheve, that the distinguished
Senator of Massachusetts. Daniel Webster,
is one of this class of politicians. At least,
the Van Ruren Parly charge him with being
so upon the following grounds, enough too,
we conceive, to stamp any mart with the iu
ghu'i.ons appellation.

and li»« re-ele :!ion of Gen. Andrew .Jack

Mr. T owns then moved the following
prernbbj in i resolutions, in lieu of the
urtt'tmble and resolutions from the Senate,
and ot' ti.iose oll'ered by Mr. Hcall of Twiggs,
part being read ns follows:
Whereas, ‘.he jioliticiil crisis in nnr State,
as well as national affairs, has arrived, when
a •telerwina'e and unreserved expression cf
lhe scidtmcii.'s if fie people, mat correct
erroneous nvpassions, in our State.
Arid w ereas, the recent events in an ad
joiuing State, anti the expression of opinion,
u nnr own. bespeak m favorable imlicatioi.s
Lo the c.ourinuance of the pence, tranquility
and hnopiness ofour beloved country, which
manl'cs aiiuii of feeling are too particularly
notorious, to besneceptiltie of misconstruc
tion. In suidi impolitic as well as danger
ous displays of political excitement, every
good citizen is bound, by those inestimable,
patrintic ties of feeling, to rally round our
Federal Government, which lias heretofore
reflected such Instil over our political, mor
al and civil associations, as to elicit the ad
miration of the world.
And whereas, at this momentous p riotl,
the people of Georgia, by thrit Represen
tatives now assWihled, tinhesitatinglv avow
a firm adherence, io the principles expres
sed in the lo'lowing Resolutions:
Be it resoled by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the. State of Georgia in
General Assembly met, and it is hereby
solemnly ri .soiled by the same. That the pre
sent Federal Constitution is the bond of
union between these United States; with a
' if w therefore, to avoid all cause of dissrn
tion and complaint, it is essential, that the
Federal Government, in the exercise of its
powers, should without deviation, adhere to
a correct literal construction of that in
strument, and carefully avoid the usurpation
of any right not expressly surrendered.
Resolved, That though the Congress
of the United States, may legitimately
raise r venue for the support of
government, yet in so doing, a just and
prudent liseretion ought to be exercised,
constantly keeping in view a fair and just
equalization oftlie burthens imposed among j

Many reports hav, been put in cirrtibi

AVe have seen a letter from him, iir reply to

character, but we must be pardoned for giv
ing a lew extracts lia.in it, w ii:cb we in st will
exon,'rite him from the censure iitherof
toes or friends.
On the subject of lut rnal Improvement,
he Mays:
‘•1 ask, how I manifested any hostility to
these, (the Maim e and Central) roads ?
Mori I , I demand to know, wh"it I have
fiileil to (hi.corn e their interests, when I have
been in a situation to do them service. I
appeal to cveiy inet’.di r ol the last Senate
ol Georgia, to know if 1 did nod leave the
chair, and make some two or three speeches
in 1..V01 ol these two roads I appeal to the
immediate linen .'s of these worl s m know if
I did not runlet them every aid in my power

that advised by our ce.tcmporary, (with of

We beg leave however formally to ill-seat
to the assertion of that paper* that Mr Van
Ilmen will obtain the vote of Georgia. If
Mr. \ an Ilmen obtains the vote of Georgia,
he will oluaio it ■ y the wishes of a min

ihe Emjuirer is misled on this point, by be
ing ht the neighborhood of a few States
Rights men who wi'l vote for Mr. Van
Bltren. It may depend upon it, that there
are but few State Rights men throughout
the State that will do so—-so few, that ho
do not hesitate to s.tv that we will throw in
all such votes in aid of the present incum

notwithstanding. The people rs Georgia
