An iuq ury .vis nr in foil i few years since to ascertain the comparative expense of supporting a lepuhlicau and a *nonarclii cal T e ->veraaient. but with 'vital success ive and not now recollect, nor is it of any pradica rMli'v, since the superior advantages of a re teihiican governm mt to the people, over al otter forms, more than compensate for any nHitional exp via r. Bit it is important a. all times, and every where, that public an-' private economy should prevail. Especially it is important that our government should he administered with the strictest economy so although til' vast domains now led I by thi genertl goverum :nt in public lands, arid the sales o. which produce a great revenue, a id relieve the people from in ich oftlie in\ ueceisirvtj support tlta goverum eat, ii should be re u 'inhere.l, th it this domain p obibly belongs to the people of tin* States, and should, in th ’ exercise of a com mon justice, go to the several States if not to the people of the several S’at»?a. Besides in the exercise of a prudent foresight the people should see to it that habits of extrav agance do not grow tip in the government, tint by a i I by, wh *a the means, for gratify ing it, now a hard I by the sales of public I ni ls, shall b r cut off, they may be called upon to pay out of th or own packets bv a uirect tax, or the government go on contract ing a nitio i tl and ebt liae tita' of Kiigtand. To ’ jealousy of tin* people was greatly aroused to this subject during th ■ admim t ation of Mr. A lamp because for till the e .pen litttres of the goverum oit, it required about thirteen millions ol dollars per annum. J. there was cause of complaint at tins sum. "hat shall be said of the forty millions of il liars na v required by a reform, economi i I, locofoco administration ? li the pent It w ro alarine I and in lign int at the former, w ill what feeling ought they to consider the l,i ter ! Let us lake a few facts to account for this vait difference in tiie aggregate annual, ex pc tditures of Adams and Van Buren. The patent office under Mr. Adams’ ad t;i lustration, e.nuloyed four officers, with a j i nr salary of three thousand seven hun dred dollars. 11 now has twenty live officers, wi.li salaries amounting to twenty-five thou sa ol dollars. An increase of mute than twenty-one thousand ilo'lars. In 18.18, the revenue amounted to twenty th ee million two hundred and live iltousaud fi; • hundred and twenty dollars, and it s collection cost tie govern m nt eighty-nine thousand three hundred it a • twenty-seven dollars This was deitouu cj ‘as extr iv igance. But in 1838, the first v<: rof Mi Vin Boren’s administration, the co lecii ti of eleven uiliion o:te hundred and s'x y- Bine th ujs.tnd two huirlrevl and ninety o ) bus cost one million lour Hundred and if. i -tv seven thousand two hundred and se v 'ty live doll ’rs. Here is a large increase ii 'he expense of enlleclia •• g. though the t o nine colleeie I amnuiited only to about o i h ill" that of I'.‘B. a ■ e<pen ft,ire fir interna! nnptovements il i in » the four ve trs of Mr. Adam’s admin i sit ation, averaged four hundred and five lit tis.ind one hundred and seven dollars per iii uni. And the people were told over and n/v again, tint, this sort of extravagance w ■ il l ntin the country and iii ike her buik r i t ; am I to put an effectual slop to it, the pi 'y was opposed to interna! improvements 1. tlie genual government, except of a par t alar character, which iiiusl necessiirily be I: lied. i!ut we see that in 183 ~. the sum of one r.i lion tti le li rudre.l and sevent y til iisiind 111 ee hun Ire 1 and seventeen dollars was ap pt .pii.ited I'm that purpose. An increase, I > one y nr, of in ire than one million five h mired t lions uni dollar*. It cost thirteen thousand dollars to pre ] -i- the President's house for the reception ot Mr Adams, but Mr. Van Buren requires n letcen thousand for tiiesame purpose. It • .t ilia |M! >pl ! six limits 111 I dollars more t ' a pro'ess I deinncrat than fora real one. In 1828. the war liep.n I inert enq.loyul t enty officers, wi ll it joint sabuy of thirty • • gilt thousand six hundred dollars, i tiiea managed the business of the Indian <i parttn-iit. In 1837. the war depaitineut • st t ic people sixty three thousand i igiu ]t im)red and ten ibdlars. It then employed I sty clerks; and ti;c Indian department was > imaged as a separate concern, by lilteen < ffieers, with a yearly salary of nineteen t lotisatid four hundred dollars. An increase < i only fifty lour thousand five I tint!red and r ixly dollars. The Government in 1838, had to pay the following sums for newspapers subscribed tor by the President Post Office Depaitment, -5397 00 War departnieiit, 881 (It Treasury Department, 077 93 Navy Department, 839 75 Total, _ 62 099 71 Besides the expenditures which are enor tmiusly increased over the reported extrava gant administration of Mr. \d.uiH, we find it also stated that tire following among other similar sums have been paid out oftlie Yrea suty in 1838 and which smacks a littU* more of official extravagance than we think the ■people ought to be willing to support:-- ii.,)sa bushes for war department, tiliy-six dollars and siity cents—dinners at taverns for clerks of the Post Office department, , one hundred and eighty-ei iit dollars and seventy-four cents —ice lor Treasury depart ment, ei'Mii-nine dollars sixty-six and a hall cents-—bust for Secretary Forsyth, six dM lars. ‘Are the people to be gulled with the ob jection to the greatly increased expenses of the government, and to its abhorrent extrav agance, that the President is not responsi ble, because lie does not make the appropri ations \ and that the party is not responsi ble; because it does not p i]) out the money. Tim kind ol game may answer for a tiu.eio amuse the readers of tile Belfast Journal, but it is too I line and sick an I sore tost and against ilia prying gaze and close observation of a free and industrious and intelligent people. The gold furnished official may approve and pass alone any tiling fur an ob jection against what helps him. b"t the hard tuiling freeman, willolace tlie responsibility, with the majority, where it belongs; and il the plea is," that this administration is com posed of men who have denied tlieiracroiin ability to God and men, we shall not be disposed to doubt it, but earnestly desire a -change i.i men, manners, principles and practices, in the high places.of our coun try, that she may go onward and upward in the path of honor and safety.

The Whig newspapers throughout the Union are copying lit in the Tcunesset Telegraph the fol'owiiiu spiri'ed and true definition olthe trim *-\\ lug,” as g. veil by Col. Gentry, cl Williamson, iiieiiib r ot Congress elect, in one ol his recent speeilie I e or; the people of Ins District.--—Tu« I’eiegr tpb says : •‘When did the name Whig first make its appearance in Tennessee !” That ques tion is often asked by the presses a,id orators of the administration party. We heard it uiswered a few days since by Col. Gentry, the Whig candidate for Congress fro in tins district. The “name Wing, said the . leaker, made its appearance in Tennexse**, ben power first began to encro. eh on tlie gfits oftiie people: It made its appi ar mce in England when the Kingly power muglii to destroy every vestige ot human iberty! It made its appearance in the lirti’cn colonies when tne British mown attempted to l isten cords of slavery on the p topic, and compel obedience to the dicta tion' ol a single man ? Is the u nite a re nroarh 1 Then do all those patriots- who have stood up tor the rights • t the people, io opposi'iou to tyranny since tli*- foundation of the world hear tne stain, for they all were Whigs. Thettam-.; implicsopp sition io power, and that opposition was exercised n Tennessee as soon as tlie enemies of political liberty endeavored to stretch their dominions so as to include her lam a Whig, and I am p oud of I lie n ante ! ” Inc n.iection with the foregoing, which was uttered by a freeman and a Tennesseean whom th" Whigs in Congress will lie proud of as an eloquent and fearless co-laborer io the g’*:ai work ol rescuing the liberties of the country from the grasp of the Spo'lers, the Richmond Whig copies the following passag s from the speech of John C. Cal houn. delivered on the Ctlt .May, 1834, on the President’s I’rotest : •I am mor'ifie I (said Mr. Calhoun) that a this country, boasting its Anglo Saxon de ■ent. | Any man of respectable standing, inuoh less the President of the United States, sltold be found to entertain principles lead ing to such monstrous results ; and I scarce ly believe myseil to be breathing tlie air of our country, and to be within the walls ol this Senate Chamber, when 1 hear such doctrines vindicated. It is proof of the wonderful degeneracy of a total loss of the true conception of constitutional liberty.— But, in this degeneracy, 1 perceive tlie symptoms of regeneration. It is not my wish to touch on tlie party designations that have recently obtained, and which have been introduced in the debate on this occasom I, however, cannot but remark, that the re vival of the party names of the revolution, alter they had so long slumbered, is not without a meaning -not without an indica tion of a return to those principles which lie at the foundation of our country." “Gemlenten ought to reflect that the ex tensive anti sudden revival of these names, cotilit not be without some adequate cause. Names are not to lie taken or given at pleas ure. There must be something to cause their application to adhere. If 1 remember rightly, it was Augustus, in all tlie plenti tude of his power, who said that he found it impossible to introduce anew worth— What, then, is that something ? What is there in the meaning of Whig and Tory, and what in the character ol tlie times, which hvs caused their sudden revival, as party designations, at this time ? I lake it, that the very essence of Toryism—that which constitutes a Tory—is to sustain prerogative against privilege—to support the Excretive against tlie Legislative Depart ment of the Government, and to lean to the side of Power against tlie side of Liberty; while the Whig is, in all these particulars, of the respective parties, Whig arid Tory, the opposite, and the parallel runs through their application in till the variety of cir cumstances in w hich they have been ap plied, either in this country or Great Bri tain. Their sudden revival and application nt this time, ought n* admonish my old friends, who art* now on the side of tlie Ad ministration, that there is something in the times—something in the existing struggle between the parties, and in the principles and duct tines advocated b\ those in power, which has caused so sudden a itvival, anti such an extensive application of firms. I have ni*t contributed to their introduction, nor am id shuns of s i;ing them applied— but 1 must stylo hose who are inlet este', hat they should not be, that nothing but heir reversing their course cm possibly prevent their application. They owe it to them selves— they owe it to the Chief Magistrate (whom tiiey support) as the head ol their party, that they should halt in their support of despotic and slavish doctrines which we hear daily advanced, before a return of the reviving spirit of liWriy shall overwhelm them with those who are leading them to their ruin.” The cry is still they conn—mal e room for the Sitb- Treasurers —From the Boston Mercantile Journal we extract the following letter, chronicling the cventlul history c>! another £>ub-Trrasuter. .Mire Rigurn/. —lt \vi 1 heseenby the fol lowing Idler which we have received, that there lias been quite a -'flare up” in the pleasant village of Exeter, N- 11. in con cousequence ol rotigery in the l'ost Oifice ut that place. “Exeter, N. 11., Aug. 20. 18.39.

We learn front the last Macon Telegraph that new cotton begins to arrive at that mar ket pretty freely, and is selling from 9 to 10 cents. The Centra! Bank will not, as heretofore, receive the bills of the Darien Bank and its branches in payment of debts due that in stitution. The affairs of the Darien Bank must be in ashy way to induce the Direc tors ol tlie Central Bank to take such a step. We learn from our exchange papers that (he fever which has been raging for some time in Augusta has moderated somewhat. Thenumberof deaths that occurred in that city from the 18th ult. up to the Ist. iust. was thirty-three. Citizens are advised not to go to or through Augusta until the fever has entirely ceased. In Charleston tie fever has become sta tionary. During the week ending the 15th tlie number of deaths was 15. The three weeks preceding the number was each week, 14, 12 and 15. Dr M. Bartlett, the Editor of the Macon Telegraph, is a candidate for the House of Rcprerentativcs, on the Van Bure** ticket in the place ol R. McCall, Esq. who declined the nomination. OUR TOWN—ITS HEALTH. We have understood, with regret, that re ports have been cite idol mg I li rough ; he coun try relative to the health of our flourishing town, calculated to do it immense injury and to deter persons from settling among, or even visiting us. W** therefore, feel it our duty t*> -set the community right on this sub ject and correct, so far as we may be aide, these maliciously false and exaggerated state ments. Tlie reports of w hich we have heard are something lik■ the following: one fellow travels the road and states as lie goes, that our ci.i/.eus are all sick, and one is not able to help the "i her to a drink of water! Ano ther proel..iios that Florence is so unhealthy whole families are demoting the place to seek a more salubrious clime!! While an other publishes it through the land, that dis ease and death prevail here to such an ex tent that we bury from four to live here daily, and that the principle employment rtf those who arc aide to work, is the making of cof fins 11 I In reply to tlie above reports we arc com pelled to sty that they are entirely unfounded in fact, and maliciously false, and their pro ag.ators should not be believed even when they speak the truth. The time has never been when there was not well persons enough in Florence to attend the sick ; neither have our citizens deserted the town because of its mihenlihiness—some few, it is true, have left during the summer, as they do every where, because they do not care to be con fined to the dull monotony of a town during the summer months ; and as to burying four or five daily, there has scarcely been tint ma ny buried here of our own citizens, in eigh teen months* The number of interments within the past year has been only sou three of them were children, one who died from the effects of worms, and who was sick when lie arrived here, tint other two of the bpwe) affection, occasioned, we beu3 v c> Irom teetlijng; and a negro man who died a lew davs after lio arrived hero, being taken on the road to this place- So it will be perceiv ed that {he few deaths that have occurred among us, cninqf he attributed to the local - ity of the place. We Jo not however, to say there has been no sickness here, by no means •* lorence, as well as elsewhere, has had her hate of disease, but it has been of such a character that very little clanger was ap prehended only in a fear cases ; and to say that we have fared well, wl>en compared with the fatality of disease experienced elsewhere, wou'd not be overstepping the bounds of truth. We hope, therefore that hereafter thesetalse rumors will be silenced, and trust that he who may in future, be so base as to fabricate and publish such falsehoods, may receive a liar’s teward. THE ELECTION. As the electiou draws nigh, our opponents, as usual, throw up their hats and shout vic tory, before tis won. But, least they may lay the unction of success to their souls with too much satisfaction, we will take the bberty to ititorin them, from what we can learn lh;ir prospects arc a little worse than they were this time last year, li was pro claimed last fall, just before the election, that there was no doubt but the Van Biireu Congressional ticket would be elected with out a struggle, and this year the same song is sung, and they sound itlar aiiTl wide that tli-ir Federal candidate for Governor w ill be elected by an ovet whelming majority on the first Monday in October next. Now we would ask our Van Buren oppo nents what more cause have they to rejoice now than then? Has any vitalchange come over the feelings and opinions oftlie people of Georgia, that they have censed to look upon Federalism as a political sin, and are w illing to elevate the advocates of those doc trines to the highest office within their gift ? No; they cannot indulge in that belief.—- What then, has changed the minds of the freemen of Georgia ? Have they found out that Georgia was wrong in refusing obedi ence to the mandate of the Supreme Court in the Tassel's case, and that Judge Mc- Donald and the eleven others who voted with him, was right, in wishing her to yu Id such obedience, and place her rights, sove reignty and independence at the me.cyof that tribunal, and now wish to atone for their former error by placing in the Gubernatorial Chair a man who believes that the Supreme Court has exclusive jurisdiction in ail cases of dillerence between the Slates and the General Government, even where the domes tic interests of the State arc concerned, and who, if he were Governor, would not liesi tale one moment to obey a summons ema nating from such a source, and thereby .an nihilate, at otic blow, the liberties of the people and the rights of the .State ? Nn ; they cannot believe the people of Georgia so corrupt and vassallaling. What then, we again ask, do they tumid their hopes of suc cess upon, that they are kicking up such a dust about, and shouting, victory I victory!; before the battle has been fought? Why nothing; they perceive the hopelessness ol their case, and being anxious to have a day • n which to exult, they have thought pmpev to improve the opportunity before the elec tion, least, should they wait until alter that time it might be too late, as it unduubtejly would. So far as regards the election of Judge Dougherty, we feel pretty confident; and while reports are circulating in relation to the prospects of tlie candidates in other sec tions of the State, we feel it our duty to in form the friends of State Rights at a dis tance, what are their pros; eels in this.— And we are happy to state that they are bright and cheering, and so far as we can jettrii from the adjoining counties, il is w ide spread and flourishing. But of our own county we can speak with more^confidence, and take pleasure in informing our friends that Stewart will do Iter duty iu the ap proaching content, apd do it well. She >s completely disenthnmed from the shackles of Van Burenism ; and k’cdera lism dare not show her deformed head within our limits without being frowned into utter insignifi cance. Judge Dougherty will obtain a large vote here, and of this fact our opponent as well as friends m ty rest well assured. Correspond! nee of the Surth American. New-York, August 21, 1839.

Florence, Sept 7. 22 3t PRESENTAJENTS Os the Gland Jury, of Stewart Superior Court August Tents, 1839. VI7" E the Grand Jurois, selected, choseri ▼ v and sworn for the County of Stewart at August Term, 1H39, fi el it their duty to make the following Presentioeuts: We view with great regret the neglected con dition of our Roads and Bridges generally, and believing as we do that the present Road Law may be much amended, we would th« refore respectfully recommend that our Senator and Representatives, bse their influence at the nrxt Legislature for the passage of a special Law to alter and amend the Road Law now of force, so far as relates to tl ** County of St» w art, vesting the power in the Inferior Court of this coun ty, to levy and vollect a Road Tax, which shall he applied to the opening and r« paring public Roads aid the building and reparing 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 offices in the Court House, and apply such amount as may be necessary to the repairs of said Building. We would further recommend that the several officers be placed in the possession of their county offices for whom they were intended, and that such officers he held responsible to the Court for any damage done their office* during their ttrin of occupancy. The premature dilapidated appearance of our Court House prompts us to suggest to the Court die propriety of placing the Building in the care of an appointed officer, whose duty it shall be to keep the House in good order, to be used fortliose purposes only for whit It it was intended. Taking into con sideration the grow ing popuh tion and w ealth" of our county, the rapid increase of the elements of litigation in our Superior court, and the grrai and vexing delay of public justice m consequence ol the time, now allowed by Law, being far too short for the increased and increasing business of the Court, and believing, moreover that a change of the Term of tlie Court would greatly add both to the comfort and health of our citizen* generally. We would therefore recommend to our Senator and Represen tatives at the next Session of the Legisla ture of the State to procure the passage of an act to amend the act so far as relates to the sitting of our Superior Coutt, so that they may hold their sitting's, commencing on the first Monday in March and Septem ber, a.id ■ La; the* be «n extension of the time to two weeks. Being perfectly satisfied that the extension of the Term 1 now recommended, and which is absolutely and imperiously necessary, will gVeatly in crease the labors of the presiding effieers, already sufficiently and perhaps we might say oppressevily arduous, we would therefore further recommend to our Senator and Representatives in the next Legislature to use their best exertions to have the Circuit divided. We would recommend the Cos). Com manding to c.iuse tlie collection of all Pub lic Arms, ammunition and accoutrements belonging to the .State or United States, ar:d report the same to the Governor. We re commend the Inferior Conrt ro take into consideration the Kiuchetoona causeway on the Travelers Rest Road and make sueh appropriations as they may deem expedient and proper, consistent with the present state of the fmancies of the county. We would fur ther remark, that large assembles ofour col oured population are permitted in the coun ty Towns and Villages, which show a total neglect of the e nforcement of the Patrol Law, we tvouhi therefore recommend the proper officers to discharge that part of their duty. We p-esent as a grievance tlie total neglect of duly on the part of our offi cers, w ho are the administrators of the Law, by permitting a horde of gamblers to prowl through our country unpunished, and it is witfr great pain we arc 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. We have examined the Books of the Clerks of the Superior, Inferior and Ordinary Courts, and the Books of the County Treasuer aNd find them neatly and correctly kept. Having examined the Books of the Tax Collector, we have credited him for his insolvent list, the sum of 5? 17,75, fbr amount overcharged, and the further sum of $1258,294 which we have ordered lum to issue executions and have the several amounts paid over into the hands of the Clerk of the lulerior Court, ss by Law' di rected. In taking leave of his lion. Judge Welt born, we offer him our hearty thanks for the able and disinterested manner he has discharged his high and responsible duties, and tender to him our best wishes for Lis health and happiness. To the Solicitor Gen. Henry L. Benningv Esqr. we return our thanks for the pronqtt discharge of his duties, and his sonrtesy toward this body. We request the Solici tor to have the above Presentments publish ed in tlie Georgia Mirror, Florence, and Sentinel and Herald. Columbia. THOMAS GARDNER, Foreman. Mathew McCnHar, David G.
