Nothing ol very great importance is at present before the Legislature, oilier then tli it which we have already noticed. We have seen nor heard nothing more of Mr. Tarver’s Alleviating bill, save the i • marks of the Georgia Journal, which says that it had “obtained an unenviable notoriety and ex presses the belief that a large majority of the Legislature is opposed to it. Mr. Glascock’s Hank bill, is said to he fa vorably received in both branches, and but little doubt exists in relation to its adoption ; we cannat sec, however, that it will bring any relief to the country, or enable the hanks to aflor-J any facilities whatever. 'l hie ruin ous resolutions of Mr. Lewis of Muscogee, in relation to the suspension of the Hanks, it is said, receive hut i tile favor in the eyes ~fa uiaj >rit y of ‘the R 'presentatives of the p ■">. *1 A hill hash-mu presented to esrab listi anew Inna of the State, to-be entitled the Centra!

Another bill has b ten brought forward, providing that the Legislat or • of 1841, be pei mine I to reduce the number of the members of the Legisla ting. Many bills have been presented, vr’iich we have not time at present, to enu iif.-rate or notice next week we wit! etidca v ,rto give a foil .' tad of the most nnpor t-lit actings and doings of the “assembled v istloin” of the State. •\fter a long and almost unprecedented drought, we have been visited lately, with h-ivy rains, which still continue—the Chat tmoorhen has consequently resumed her |- 1 - ltd majestic appearance, and her mighty v 'fers m iv ; steadily and briskly onward .Steamboats begin to walu over her waves, a i l by their appear nice giving assurance t lit business will again commence in a few dis.

A PROPOSITION T') CLOSE THE Florida war; i We have been, lor sometime, so entji-elv disgusted with toe disgraceful manner in 'vhich the Florida War lias been conducted °n the part ot those in power, that we have ceased to pay any attention to it, ami should not even now, were it not for the purpose of bringing forward a proposition, by which it 'LI) HE CLOSED, an I unfortunate Flo rals relieved of the troublesome Seminoles, and her people restored to peace ami liappi less. The proposition is this Col. HENRY W. J ERNIGAN of our torn (whose vigi lance, patriotism and noble darm g, saved our own country from devastation, an I rescued our citizens from danger ami death during the late Creek War.) will enter into a bom- 1 of ONE MILLION OF DOLL VRS, with the best security Georgia can afford, (and as much of it .as may he desired,) to B RING I HE \V Alt lO A CLOSE, within ninety days from the period he enters the enemy’s country, and support his own men timing that time; ptuvided, the Government will,on its part, bind itself to nay him ON E TH I RD of the amount it has already cost the United States. As this wir has been made a matter of speculation by those who have had the man agenient of it without any risk on theit parts, this proposition may not be consider ed strange nr startling, save in the fact inn any risk, whatever, should be taken. |r would, it seems to us, be sufficient, tli it the proposition should be acceeded to, without any band at all, and the price freely paid, prov ded the war was closed and the honor of th • country redeemed. If Col. Je-nig ni were in Florida, with enough of just such men as were under his c'lum iml during tin Creek war, (and it would not require a very great many to const.lute a sufficiency,) we might confidently rely on his success in e> termmatiiignr driving from that lertitory the enemy that has hitherto, so successfully tri umphed over the arms of ilie U. IS. and scat ,f-red the arrows of death and destruction ” er that ill-fated and distressed country.— And. until some such man has command, ,v, ‘ s hall continue to hear, for days to coine, ul savage cruelty and Indian massacres, and before these horrid sounds shall cease to >eal upon our ears, the war will cost tiieUo er. intent four times as much ns heretofore, .m.ess we acknowledge ourselves conquered > nl give the country up to the ravages ol he Indians. folia Ross is said to be in rather an ugly '<• He says if lie delivers up to the hand p Justice, the imrlercrs of Boudinolt and ■ - Ridges it will cost him his life; the •'ermii snt replies, that it will u.jst him his * ‘ij he docs not. DOCTRINES OF THE OLD FEDER AL PARTY. First. “That the States, of which this Confederacy is composed, never had a sepa rate existence : for that, from the moment they ceased to be dependent ou Great Brit ain, they formed one nation, and have so con tinued ever since.” Secondly. “That the present Constitu tion was adopted in order, amongst other things, “ to firm a more peifect Union," than that of the Confederation; and that, as no perfect Union can be predicated of a gov ernment, which is dep-ndmt for its exis tence on the local interests, the party spirit ot a State, or ol a prevailing taction in a State,” (rtz ; a majority of the people of a State ) it is clear, that "even if there iceie no express provision giving supremacy to the Cons'itutiou and Laws of the United States over those ol the States,” such supremacy must be inferred." Thirdly. “That the States have no Con stitutional right to secede from the Union, under any circumstances whatever, inas much as secession w ould destroy the unity oj the nation Fourthly. “That the people of the twen ty Six States, constitute one people." Fifthly. “That the members of Con gress are representatives of the United States, not repr- sen la tires if the particular Stale from which they come, and that they •re not accountable to it for any act. done in the performance of their legislative Junc tions." Sixthly. “That the States have not re tained their entire Sovereignty.” Seventhly. That the allegiance of our citizens, is due to tho United States “in U-e first instance” and not to their State Governments.” Eighthly. “That the several States bear the same relation to the general government, that tue counties, or other local divisions of a State, do to the State itself” Nin lily. “That the Supreme Court is the proper tribunal to decide Constitutional questions arising between tlie States and the Government: or in other words, that the vovernmeut shall be the exclusive judge and the Constitutionality of its own acts.” Tenthly. “That the general government has llie right to coerce a Stale into obe dience.” File intelligent reader will readily recog nise the above quoted doctrines, to be those of the old Federal Party, among whom some of the most piomincnt, were Adams, Pickering, Harrison Gray Otis, Daniel \V' bster, Maishail, and others who were so vehement in their opposition to Mr. Jef ferson in 1798. These propositions were deduced from Jackson’s Proclamation of the iOtli of December 1832, and were hailed with exultation by every member of the old Federal Party, to whom the Presi dent’s previous principles as expressed in a!t his messages, were adverse. The appear ance of this document sptead dismay throughout the Republican ranks, and kindled aflame of joy in the breasts of the Federal* who were still writhing under their successive defeats of ’9B and 1812. Public meetings were held, and ihe greatest revulsion ever known in public sentiment immediately took place. Daniel Webster, who, up to that time had been one of Get;!. Jackson’s bitterest opponents on the flour of the Senate, declared it to bean effort of patriotism, and a correct understanding of .he constitution for which he was willing to forget all his former differences. And du ring the ill health of the President which shortly succeeded this amazing effort, the same champion of Federalism was heard to express a prayer, that Providence would spare his life, in order that he might carry outtlie revolution he had so gloriously be gun. Truly, it was aglourious revolution tor the friends of a consoludated govern ment. Harrison Gray Otis in addressing a meeting at Boston, burst forth into a fit of enthusiasm which lie did not pretend to con ceal, and pronounced the Proclamation a “delicious quintessence, cf Federalism ;” Doubtless, it was a sweet nu-rsel, to be rol led under the tongues of those, who had been labouring to invest the government with unlimited powers. Chief Justice Marshall one of the fathers of Federalism, declared that “the Pioclamatiou upheld the doctrines he had been lighting forever since ’96.” It must have been highly gra’ifyins to this veteran champion of Federalism, to find his favourite doctrines receiving stich powerful support at the hands of a Presi dent,--who had eiven them so little promise of what he would do, and whose personal popularity from having been previously as sociated wi h the Republican oar'v, was destined to work out for them a powerful ascendency. In short, the whole party, from the St. Croix, to the Sab no, sent up their devout acknowledgments and appro bation, and instantly gave in their adlit sion to Genl. Jackson’s administrution The old Republicans, among whom were Leigh, and Tyler, and Troup, and Poindexter, and Bibb and a host of others, around whose tames are gathered a thousand patriotic i-sociations, beheld with consternation this undreampt of attack upon the sovereignty of the States and wisely determined to check if possible the mischief that threat ened to subvert our liberties. The question ./as not, whether South Carolina was justi fiable, and should be sustained in the pu sit on she had chosen to occupy towards the general government, but whether the oc casion of South Carolina’s resistance to what she deemed sn oppressive and uncon stitutional law, should be made a pretext for fastening flown upon us a dangerous precedent, and under colour of restoring quiet to our distracted institutions, covertly giving them a stab from which they might never recover. Many who were not pre pared to recognise the constitutionality of the measure adopted by the gallant, little State, for the protection of her eitizens. neverthless saw ample cause to dread the propagation of such doctrines as were couched in the “ Brutum•,J'ulmen” with which Genl. Jackson attempted to stay toe hand of nullification, that had been raised by an oppressed and insulted people. It was the beginning however, of a great political rev olution* and thousands, even of those wav had professed the Republican faith, wer* found ready to avail themselves of the ladder, which such a state things always holds out, to ascend to political power New parties were formed, in the scvcial States, or at least remodeled upon anew basis. The old Federal party and those pretended Republicans who through Genl. Jackson’s influence became united with U em, adopted the Proclamation and Force 81l as their text book and Vade Mecum, while the un changed Republicans still adhered to he, principles which had carried them through iu ’9B and ’99, and which were embodied in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions drawn up by thos- mas'erspniis of democ racy, Jefferson aud .Madison. ISucii at least was the case in Georgia, and the Southern States generally. In Georgia both parties into which the St ate had for a long time been divided, were united in sup port ol Geul. Jackson’s administration until the appearance of his incinorible Procla mation. when the Troup party, with the ex ception of those who had a hankering after Executive favor such for instance,as Forsyth and Wayne, refused to accept of the Ami Republican doctrines therein contained, and immediately withdrew from the support of an Administration which Ind assum 'd hostile aud dangerous a position towards the rights aud Sovereignty of the State.— “Stale Rights and Sta'c Remedies" became their motto, the Jeffersonian principles oi ’9B, being regarded by them as alone calcu lated to preserve the parity of our institu tions against the insidious attacks of Fed eralists and those who would convert our Republic into a Monarchy in fact, if not in name. The Clark parly, with the excep tion of a lew honest and iiighmiiuied men, who possessed independence enough to think and act for themselves, through their polit ical meetings. Legislative Resolutions, 6ct. gave in their adherance to the doctrines of the Proclamation Mi l Force Bill and adopted them as their “comessious” of political “faith In fact, these documents were de clared to contain the fundamental principles of their party. Byway however, of etilis ting tlie prejudices of the ignorant, and at the same time intunaiing that the naUifirs, as they were pleased to term their State Rights adversaries,were resolved on the destruction of the Confederacy, aud its in - volvemeut in a'l the horrors ofeivil war,Jtliey ingeniously dubbed themselves the “Union party” of Georgia, and donned the odious doctrines ol their creed under that captiva ting title. This device had its full meas ure of effect, until the excitement of the times was over, and our people began to in vestigate the character of the government, of whose nature a large proportion of them had previously been ignorant Wherever a correct exposition of the Constitution, and the Compact, found its way, this shallow atl l lice gave wly before the powerful voice of reason and truth, ami the state ot the patties in Georgia began to assume a very different a. pect. Finding that an exposure of Hieii principles, or lather a comparison of them with the Repub'icau principles ot the .State Rights party, would inevitably in sure their downfall, the self-appellatcd Union party, neverwttliout an expedient, at length announced the important, but astounding fact that they too were in favor of Stale Rights, and were moreover disciples of the Jetl’eisouiau School. The declaration did them great service, notnwitlistaudiiig the want ol faith that accompanied it. It was nothing bit: an empty profession designed solely lor the use of those honest but hu pretending men, who have just enough of intelligence to know that our government is a cotnoact between Sovereign Status, with out being sufficiently intimate with toe na lianal and political history of the government to know how far that compact extends. Did an} one ever observe, how studiously the leaders of the Union party, retrain from all allusions to the Virginia and Kcduckv Resolutions, eve-; when they are loudest uqd most clamorous in vauutmg their Dem ocratic and Jeffersonian pnuc’ples l Pretty Democrats ificse, who boa I the name, and refuse to show its application to themselves! Fine Jefferson ions, who claim to be of the faith, and yet cannot, (or at least will not) explain whit that laitli is! Beautiful Re publicans, whose fundamental doctrines, aie ihose °f the old School, broad constiuc tiun. blue, light, Hartford Convention, Fed eralists! Away with such hypocricy and humbug ! Would Union men make us be lieve, that they aie what tlicy now pretend to be, friends to the rights of the Slates, let them repudiate Hie doctrines of the Proclamation, which they still unite in eu logizing to the suics; let them lot malty re cant the heresies with which they set out as a parry, and proclaim in terms that cannot be misinterpreted, that “Slate Rights, are val ueless without Slate Remedies,” ami that the Union is not worth preserving without incse be first preserved. Until then, let them bl one us not, that we regard their professions of friendship for State Rights, and their claims to the title of Democrats as faithless and inane. The following article which we extract from an exchange paper, is distinguisucd for its truth arid point.

Hut fill their purse, our poets' work s done. Alike to them, by pathos or by pun. Pope. Side by side, with William Cullen Bryant, to whom the first place on the rollof Amer ican poet-, has been assigned, stands Rich Aim 11. Dana. Though wanting in the fin ish aad regularity whicn constitute a distin guishing trait in the poetry of the former, there is yet a strength and grasp about tin ntovingsof Dana's intellect, which no other American poet has yet evinced. He has all the elements of a great poet; quick sensi bility, strong conception, great force and fa cility of expression, united with a “burning fancy.” •F nicy, that, from the how that spans tjie sky. Brings colors, dipp’d iu heaven, that never die.’ His chief performance, “the Buccaneer,” is by far, the most original and powerful po etical composition ever produced in Ameri ca. By this extraordinary and picturesque story, lie has (ilaced himself on a level with some of the best poets of that “proud old world beyond the deep;” at least, it belongs in a class with the “Old Grimes” of Crabbe, the “Peter Hell” of Wordsworth, and the “Ancient Mariner” of Coleridge, ami exltib its the same power in the “deliuiation of the mysterious workings ol tile passions and the imagination.” After this remarkable exhibition of his strength mil power ns a poet, Dana is doing great injustice to himself, as well as to the native literature of his country, by continu ing siient. His pen should not he permit ted to rust, while giant thoughts are cours ing through mind, anil his genius is but wait ing to take another flight into the realm of song. Hcisthc best calculated of all our poets, to produce a great work, which shall elevate the character of our national poetry —and yet he is si'.rnt—perversely silent.— Doubtless, he is engaged, like the rest of his “brethren of the lyre,” on this side of the Atlantic, in the very unpoelic enit>loyn>ent of Svri'ping together tlie pelf of a miserly world. \ short specimen of his lighter style, and a very pretty one too, may be lound in the following lines to, THE LITTLE BEACH BIRD. Thou little bird, thou dweller by the sea, Why takest thou, its melancholy voice 1 Why with that boding cry O’er the waves dost thou fly ? O, lather bird, with me, Through the fair land rejoice ! Thy flitting form comes ghostly dim and pale, As dr ; v r; by a beating storm at sea; Thy cry is weak and scared, As if thy mates had shared The doom of us. Thy wail— What does it bring to me ? Thou call’s! along the sand, and haunt’s! the surge, Restless and sad ; as if. in strange accord With motion and with roar Os waves that drive to shore, One spirit did ye urge— The mystery —the word. Os thousands thou, both sepulchre and pall Old < >cean art .’ A requiem on the dead, From out thy gloomy cells, A tale of mourning tells— Tells ot man’s woe and fall, His sinless glory fled. Then turn thee tittle bird, and take thy flight Where the complaining sea shall sadness bring. Thy spirit never more : Come quit with me the shore, For gladness and ;he light, Where birds of summer sing. Is Hillrodsk dead ? He. who was wont lo inspire us with the hope that a star had a riseu in tire west, which, by its brightness and peculiar lustre, was about »o shed a halo, around our poetic literature, such as the ra diance that illumines the literary atmos phere, where Millou ami Cow per, and I‘ope, moved in their magic circles. It is long since he ha, favored fl’e public with the cre ations ol his genius. Perhaps he is collec ting s»is forces for a concentrated effort, to storm tho "eternal temple,” where dwell the memories of Spencer, Young, Cowley, aud that immortal host of worthies, whose names “Shall “ever wither, tho’the earth Forgets her empfics with a just decay.” This w»rn worthy of him ; and indeed if the spirit of his earlier productions may ho taken as a criterion, there is every reasen to auticii ate an eminent share of success to stteii an effort. It ts to be feared, however, that he too, his committed a breach of trust, and is squandering the glorious gilt of poet ic power with which nature so liberally en dowed him. Hut 'hough he should never again put a thought on paper, he lias written several pieces which entitle him to be re membered as an American poet. Speaking of the influence which retrospection yields to the sensibilities of age, aud us its effect upon the feelings, That heart, inetiiinks.

Prentice is another one o* those gifted “sons of song,” who, having drank deep draughts at Castaha’s Fount, re ‘iSOS to be guided by iis inspiration, iu - Iv life, be displayed a pbxstoti for pdetry, which gavei-sel ve'ut in numbers that would have done honor to riper years, liis fl,s productions contained, perhaps, a supera bundance of imagery, but they possessed a l>ower ami a pathos which gave bright prom ise ot future fame to iheir author. Nor did they token falsely. The efforts of his ina turer years are in the deep spirit of poetry, and carry with them the irresistible conclu sion, that the mind from which tli«.y emeua tej, is yet capable of greater uun_x. Nei ther American nor English literature, pos sesses a purer gem, and one of more tran scendent k auty and (tower, than Prentice’S celebrated Imes upon the ‘ Close of the year.” ‘‘They are burning thoughts, which nought but the poet's most snbliiua ted fancy could conceive—in them, there is genius in the highest inspiration.” Would that their gifted author could be persuadt U o resume the high voca'lon for which Pro videuce has so justly prepared him. But no; he is dimming the pure fires us his in tedect amid the dust and smoke of political contention; wasting his powerful energies in newspaper combats with nuin skull edi tors, and perpetrating (inns upon .spiring demagogues, when lie should be lifting high the “golden bowl," and filling the realm of song with the heaven born music of his ly r a. There is something which touches the lr art in the following lines, and brings up, vividly before our svp ithies and our imagin ation the “pale brow ’ of the consumptive *>eauty, destined to an early grave. LINES ADDRESSED TO A L\DY. Yes, lady, thou wilt die. That lip of snow, And that pale brow, foretell thy early lot ; Tin - wing ot death iso’erthee—thou wilt go Where broken hearts aud blighted flowers arc not: Thou art too beatitifjl lo linger where The rainbow brightens but to melt away ; And the sweet sounds that wander on the air But swell the dirge of sorrow and decay. Yes, thou wilt die. Thy spirit soon must leave This dark cold exile for its place on high, An l like a brig t cloud on a summer eve, Melt in tile deepest glories of the sky ; Thy home will be where liiucr skies are glusst <1 In brighter streams, ’mid Love’s undying bowers ; And where he w inds ofautliinn never passed, Nor serpents writhed 'mid passioos swe-t --est flowers.

Like a iuiie fire ttv on the mid-eight tomb, LAURIE. From the an,n/ and .\ary Chronicle. FLORIDA WAR. The season for active operations having returned, and tlie public mind, in the arinv as wcil as out ol it, being somewhat agitated by the coritradictoiy nature of the reports in circulation, we have made inquiry that we might inform our readers what measures are contemplated in the approaching cam l-Vign vtai). Taylor, by the zealous and inte.lli gent discharge of his duties, having given satisfaction to the department, will continue in command. The troops now in Florida are the third regiment of artillery, a portion of the second dragoons, the fi st, second, sixth and sev enth regiment ofinfantry. The third artil lery having been much reduced will be sent to the North, and be relieved* by the first ar tillery, wh'ch has been recruited and is now lull. The companies of the second drag oons that arrived at New York iu the spring, being now full also, will letuiiito Florida; aud the regiments of infantry now there will remain. It is intended to drive the enemy out of file settlements by occupying the coun’ry within and north oi a line drawn from Pilat ka to the mouth of the Withlacoochcc, in cluding Fort King, thence along the western coast, to the Appaiachicoltt; and by main taining posts as low down as the month of the With ..cooehee. The inhabitant* will be armed, and the defence of their firesides and neighborhoods confided to them, with such assistance from the regulars as occasion may call tor. The i osts ou the Atlatitic coast and at Tampa Bay will be continued, with suck others as the commanding gener al may find expedient. Experience having mournfully proved the impracticability ol forcing the Indians from their swamps and hammocks, so familiar to them but inaccessible to us, no farther at tempts will at present be made; leaving to time and the gradual spread of the settle meiitsthe ac omplishment of an object un attainable by arms. The report so extensively circulated, of conferences between the Secretary of War and Major Generals Macomb and Scott, are entirely ivhhout foundation ; no su- li con feiences have been held. Equally unfoun ded is that of sending seven thousand troops to Florida; if all of our regulars, now out of the territory, were taken from their pre sent stations, they would not amount to the number named. The Northern. Northwest ern and Southwestern frontiers arc q tile as much exposed, aud stand as much in need ol defence, »s does the Territory of Flori da. There has been no design entertained heretofore of -sending the Bth infantry into Florida, its presence being considered essen tial to the neutrality on the borders of Can ada. The fourth arti lery wili be stition between Cleveland, (Ohio.) and Foil Grati ot; and the second artillery will be divided belween Fort Niagara and Buffalo. It is believed additional small vessels will be built or purchased, and sent to the coast ot Florida, to prevent depreda tions by tne Indians upon wrecked vessels and their trews. The approaching campaign then will par take more ol a defensive than offensive char acter, as it will be confined to driving th. Indians from the settled portions of h lorida, where th> y have committed depredations almost without check. It having been |ouod itipossible to lorre (lie Indians from their fast nesses, any fmher a .tempt to effect that object would only tie attended with a need less sacrifice ol life and money. "These remaiks were prepared fur the Chronicle of October 24 ; but since they were written, information has been received which rentiers it inexpedient to withdraw the tirst artillery at present Iroin the Cana da frontier. The third will remain in Flor ida until the exigencies ol the service at other points will ai ow of its being relieved.
