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 one patt, and Republicanism, on the o tlu r. Pnliaps. notw it li.-tai ding the it.tininte ac quaiulatice ol the people of Georgia with the polities of the ctintlidaie ol siur oppo nents, it may not be deemed at this time superfluous to exhibit the federal priu tjdes which have ever governed hint in politics ---at least by a few ill strations; amt for the prevent a few shall setve our put puse. 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.

Were we to con 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 croai'limetits on the r.gilts of rite .States. AVi'ness his views ii relation to (Ju. r . 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.

JUDGE Me DON A L D—DA NIEL U K15.V1 I Ik ' 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.

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.

On the subject of lut rnal Improvement, he Mays: ‘•1 ask, how I manifested any hostility to these, (the Maim e and Central) roads ?
