THE LEGISLATURE
Os Georgia adjourned on Saturday last ;
an i it would have been well for the honor of
the State had it never assembled, as she has
been most signally disgraced through the
perfidy of a majority of those into whose
hands her honor, as an independent so.e
raign Slate, was placed. We particularly
allude to (hefate the Maine Hill suffered in
rite Senate on the day of adjournment.
That hill, aw our reader* are well aware,
provided for the protection of the property
of nor citizen* agiinst the thieving propen
sities -if the ciri/. ms of .Maine, arising from
the I’aei tli.it lite Governor of that State had
screened from justice two fugitives, who had
been guilty of negro stealing from a citizen
of tins, after having been demande I in dne
form of I nv and agreeably to the Constitu
t.au o« the Uni “and States, by the Governor
of Georgia. The bill originated in the
House tin) passed that body by a large ma
j irity, and accordingly sent to the Senate for
concurrence. In that body action on it was
delayed time and again, by the Senator from
Chatham, a thorough going Proclamation,
Force Hill. VatrUuren man, until the last
day of to ‘ session, and when it coyld be put
off no longer he. raised the yell of “oowS
with Nullification l” and managed to en
jlii upon his side the whole of bis party,
(with two or t"ree honorable exceptions,)
who jo,tied in the line and cry, and the bill
was finally laid upon the table. Thus pre
senting the State of Georgia in a truly un
enviable situation suffering the rights of
he; citizens tiampled in the dust, and their
property snatched from their possession,
without extending to them that protection
which it is her duty to render. Truly are
our rights and privileges Imt as ‘‘sounding
brass and tinkling symbol.”
CONG R I SS—TIIE SPEAKE R.
We are enabled, at last to inform our
reader* that tin* I! >n»e of Representatives
organize 1 nn the 17tit inst. by electing the
Hon. 11. M. T. UuNter, of A'a. Speaker.
Mr. 11 writer is a Sub Treasury Nullifier,
and was elected by those of his own party,
the Whigs uniting on him at the 11th bal
loting.
We ore truly gratified in arncv.titiitg this
result, as iu the election of Mr. Uur.ter the

sure, that their success would be easy and
triumphant. Hut the result has proven oth
erwise.
At aj’neeting of the Van Bure.i party in
Mdiedgeville, comprising tlm members of
the Legislature of that party, held on Thurs
day the 19th inst, the following gentlemen
were nominated as candidates for Congress :
Thomas G 1 iscock. of Richmond, .1. \V.
Lumpkin of Floyd, Alfred Iverson, if Mus
cogee, F. II Cone, of Green, Hopkins Ilol
sey, of Hancock, Robert W. Pooler, of
Chatham. Junius llillyer, of Clark, J. S.
Patterson, of Early, D C Campbell, of Bibb,
At the same time the following ticket was
nominated for Electors of President and
Vice Presidnt of the United .States, who
as a matter of course, will stick to tlie
Prince of Kenderhook through thick and
thin—nnJ more particularly through the
thin. It consists of V. Walker, of Rich
mond, W R Wofford, of Habersham, W.
B Bullock, of Chatham, John Robinson,
ofJasper. R M Echols of Walton. Gloves
of Madison, J Bates, of Murray, AV. A
Tennille of Baldwin, T Wootten, of Wilkes.
S Beall, of Wilkinson.
So now our opponents are clearly in the
field, but with the Van Buren weight they
have to carrv. they w ill be distanced over the
Georgia track. It is too heavy for Van
Buren colts.

CHRisTMAS.
The thousand associations that cluster
n-onnd this ancient holyday, and the festivi
ty with which it is used to be celebrated all
over christendo in, make it an occasion of
interest to old and young, and a time not only
lor memory, but for joyous expectation.
Boyhood with all its freaks and eager fan
cies conies back to ut=, dressed in the mel
low garb ol rememberauee, and places us
once more beneath the parental roof, arid
ootid the scenes which once inspired our
young hearts with gladness, anil kindled
(he fervor ot affection in our bosoms. The
blazing Christmas fire, the hearth surround
ed with cheerful faces, the powder guns
burnt, the bowl of foaming eggnog, the fat
turkey for dinner, tli Christmas Gift, and
the thousand other merry aiteudants of tins
merry occasion, are things which live in the
memory as relics of hnyi«h pleasure, which
neither the waters of Lethe, nor the wast
ing tooth of time can obliterate or destroy.
Though the liurricanes’s blast may have
passed over our heads, and the scathings
of the tempest may have left us nut a wreck
of our former selves, though young affec
tion's leaves may have long since withered,
aud the blight of misfortune have res ted up
on us, still there is a little sealed chamber
within the recesses of the breast, where lies
garnered tip among the priceless treasures
of memory, the recollection of such trifles
as constitute the happiness of our early
days. The annual recurrence of Christ
mas day serves to unseal tiie casket of flow,
ers bud gives their possesaet one more view
ol the pictures which charmed him in child
hood. it is therefore a s iison of interest to
the aged and care-worn, as well as the young
and frolicsome, and brings with it a return
of youthful feeling to those who have near
ly finished the voyage of life, while it jnvig
orates and strengthens lite hope of those
who are just abou! to launch their barks up.
on the swelling tide.
Christmas now, however, is not win,
christmas was when our fathers were young.
Festivity and pleasure were then the order
of the day. and a mutual interchange o«
good feelings and kiuilly offices marked tii
coming together of friends ami neigiibots to
spend t he day in uinternpted enjoyment.
Titn-s are now strangely altered ; certainly
not for the better. A small portion ofsoci
cty only greet the day in the. old fahioned
wav, with the bestowal of presents, and an
abstraction from all other concerns, save
those of merry-making and of friend* inter
course. The money king is abroad th.it
day, and debtors and creditors ate busy
with settlements and duns; pecuniary mat
ter*. form the theme of conversation, aud
•ittle else is heard or seen, save the clamor
and confusion consequent upon the multi*
tarious money transactions that rule the
scene. Unfoi tuntely, that lit tie else is the
disgusting effects ofinebriati >n. Truly, we
are a strange people ; most ol those among
us who do observe Christmas as a holy-day
at all. instead of regarding it as the anui
rersary of the Saviour’s advent, and devo
ting it accordingly to devotional exercises
and Christian offices, spend it in debau
chery and revelry, and thoughtlessly give |
themselves up to drinking, and tbe’nutiici- j
oils attendant small vices, which at another I
time they would consider degrading. A I
diflerent n ode of spending the'day would
speak more for the virtue aud intelligence
of a Christian people.
The following stanzas were written many
years since, and have been extensively and
frequently rcpublshed. They lose nothing,
however, by repeated perusal.
TO THE DYING YEAR.
Bl' JAMES G. BROOKS.
Thou desolate and dying year!
Emblem of transitory u’an.
Whose wearisome and w ild career.
Like thine, is bounded to a span;
It seeing but a ii»tle day
Since nature smiled upon thy birth.
And spring came forth iu fair array
To dance upon the joyous earth.
Yet—yet the radiance is not gone
Winch shed a richness o’er the scene—
Which smiled upon ihe golden dawn,
When skies were brilliant aud serene;
O, still a melancholy smile,
Gleams upon Nature’s aspect fair.
To charm the eye a little v.hiie
Ere ruin spreads hts mantle there.
Thou desolate and dying year!
Siuce Time eotwiued the vernal
wreath,
How often Love hath sited the tear
And knelt beside the bed of death !
llow many hearts that lightly sprung.
When joy was b ooming but to die,
Their finest chords by death unstrung.
Have yielded fife's expiring sigh;
And, pillowed low beneath, the clay,
Have ceased to melt—to breathe—
to burn—
The proud, the gentle, and the gay,
Gathered into the montdring urn'
Wa.i-t IVeshiv flowered toe .. .q.ct;
tear
For love bereft—affection fled—
For all that were our blessi gs here,
The loved—the lost—tire aa.uted
dead!
Thou desolate and dyine year.
Prophetic of our final fail!
Ihy buds are gone—thy leaves arc seie—
Thy beauties shrouded in the tall;
And ali the garniture that shed
A brilliancy upon thy prime.
Hath, like a morning vision fled
To the expanded grave of Time.
Time! Time! in thy triumphal flight,
How all Life’s phantoms flee away !
Ihe smile of Hope, and young Delight,
1* atne s meteor beam, and Fancy’s ray ;
They lade,—aud on thy heaving tide
Roiling its stormy waves afar.
Are borne :I,e wrecks of human pride—
l'he broken w recks of Fortune’s war.
Thou desolate and living year !
Earth’s brightest t ne.j tues fade like
thine—
Like evening shadows disappear,
eave R le spirit to repine ;
i tie stream ol lite, .hat usttl to pour
Its fresh and sparkliug waters on—
M Lite fate stood watching on the shore,
And numbered all the moments gone—
\V Imre hath the morning splendor flown,
Which danced upon that chrystal
stream ?
\\ here are the joys to Childhood known,
When file is an enchanted dream !
Enveloped in the starless night,
\\ hieh Destiny hath overspread—
Enrolled upon that trackless flight.
Where the dark wing ol Ttnij bath
sped.
Oh. thus hath life its erenlide
Os sorrow, loneliness, and grief;
And thus, divested ol its pride.
It withers like the yellow leaf!
Oh, such is Lii< ’$ autumnal bower,
U lien plundered ol its summer bloom;
Alt'! such is Lite's autumnal hoar.
Which heralds man into the tomb.
Yv inter, the season of “fire-sidedelights

JOB PRINTING
NEATIV EXCOt’TKb AT THIS OFFltg. '
TO TTIE CITIZENS OF STEWART
SINCE writing my last publication. 1 Lavt
been informed that there is in circuia
lauon a report, ihat I had said, in prese .ee
of Dr. Bryau Bedingfield, that J did not
know ivlio killed G.tliia .Mathews, and that I
liad afterwards volunteered to give evidence
against Elijah Pearce, and that, inasmuch
as 1 had sworn that he was the individual
who kitied .Mathews, I most have either
sworn or stated a falsehood.
I regret the necessity which compels me
again to appear before you, to d-ny liic al
leged charge and to vindicate my character
from such aspersions. But a few moments
alter lire killing of Gallia Mathew*, 1 deier
tniiied not to make public w Ini I knew ut
ihe transaction. The reasons which induc
ed .uet.i come to this d-ieruiiiiMiion were,
that I did not wish to appear as a witness hi
the case. 1 then believed that there would
be many witnesses who would establish the
fact ihat Elijah Pearce was the nun who
committed the act, and as Mr. Pearce and
myself were both ca .dulates for the same
office, 1 felt that it would be proper Ibr me
to say nothing about it- if ihe killing had
been in secret aud unite but myself had seen
it, I should then considered it necessary for
me to have pursued a different course and to
have given my testimony to fix the guilt
where it should rest. Bur, situated as 1 n is,
I thought it best to remain silent, according
ly, whenever 1 was interrogate I on tin- sub
j.'Ct, 1 always evaded a definite answer, and
never commuiiict ted to any but two or 3 indi
viduals, my knowledge n! the aifair. On my
return from Lmmahnssee, on tiie evening oi
•he death ol Gallia Mathews, I stayed all
night with Mr. Kidd, and returned with him
tiie next and ty to the coroner’s inq lies', and to
him 1 communicated all that 1 knew, aud re
q tested him not to mention to an one what
I had ccmmunicated to hint, 1 staled to him
my reasons for injoiuing secrecy on him.—
Dr. Bed ngfield, too, when there were seve
ral persons present, told me that 1 must
know something of the occurrence, and ask
ed me what 1 d.d know; to which I (as I
always did) gave an evasive reply. Subse
quentlv. however and previous \ to mv be
ing sworn. Dr. Bedingfield inquired privately
of me my knowledge of the facts—l then
(asi did to Mr. Kidd,) told h'lti all that I
knew, on the condition of his not nienti.m
ing it to «.ny one. so that I might not be call
ed as a witness. I always pursued that
course which would avoid my being sworn ns
la witness. The council for Mr. Elijah
Pearce had me called at the door of the
court house, and privately inquired <>f me it'
I saw the shooting. 1 told him I did. He
then asked tm* who did it? I told him if 1
was to be sworn on the case, it would be soon
enough then to state it. Aml from that con
versation I suppose Mr. Campbell conclu
ded not to have me sworn. li.iw the oilier
side came to call on me, I do hot know, but
presume it was because they saw that I was
called, conversed with and not sworn by
council for Elijah Pearce ; ami perhaps
someone of the confidential friends, to whom
l communicated what 1 knew, suggested to
the council ol Mr. Thomas to luvc
me sworn.
This, fellow-citizens, is the enur e 1 pur
sued through the whole investigation. So
far from volunteering to testify against Mr.
Lligali Pearce, (as stated above,) studious y
avoided it, and did so because we were both
candidates for the same office, and because
1 supposed there would be sufficient evidence
besides my own to place the facts, a a they
were before the court and country. Below 1
publish the certificates of Dr. Bedingfield
and Mr, Kidd.

GEORGIA, } Ido hereby certify, lhat
Stewart County. $ Marniadul.e Gresham
called at my house on his return home (ioin
Earn.ah -sse, on the day Gallia Mathews
was killed. It being late in the night, and
Mr. Gresham being unwell, stayed the re
mainder of the night at my house, and at
that time and in the presence of an oilier
gentleman, lie told tneconfidentially that he
knew that Elijah Pearce killed (Jalby Ma
thews, and related to me the particulars rel
ative to the killing, corresponding with the
testimony which was afterwards given in bv
Mr. Gresham on the trial at Lumpkin.—
Mr. Gres! am particularly impressed secre
cy on me. stating that he believed theie
were sufficient number of other ‘witnesses
who knew the facts as well as himself, and
11 tat his reasons for enjoining secrecy on me
were that he did not wish to be called in
court as witness in the case. I told him
that lie, no doubt, would be called on to
give iri liis evidence. He replied that he
wished to avoid it if possible, as Elijah
Pearce and himself were both candidates for
the same office, and that he feared, in ease
he should testily to bis knowledge of facts,
that his enemies might say that he wished
to build up on the ruins of Pearce, and,
tkeieforc, he wamteu nothing to say on the
subject.

Lumpkin, Dec. 23rd. 1839.
Mr. Gtksham :
v-- r—Having understood from good
authority that cent iemeu arc using my name
in it manner unauthorised by me, and lijtthlv
prejudicial to your character, I leel imperi
ously called on- to repel such statements,
and unfounded insinuations.
The report is, that you had admitted in
my hearing, that you knew nothing about
who killed Gallia Mathews. This report is
groundless and false. During the progress
of the trial of Elijah Pearce, iu reply to
same interrogatories propounded to yon by
myself, yon said to me in the presence of
Mr. Allen Bates and perhaps two or three o
tliers (not rt collected) that you stood wi'liiti
eight or twelve feet of-both Mathews and
F. Pearce, and that you saw Mathews all and
expire, to which 1 replied that you ought to
know all about who did shoot, to which you
did not reply positively, but made an evasive
answer, showing an unwillingness to state
what you seemed to know. I had been pre
viously informed by Mr. Boynton that you
saw the whole transaction, at.d reflecling on
the position von occupied as a candidate, 1
oid not press on you to say any thing more
about it and there that convetsation ended.
On this I suppose tlit! whole fabrication
rests. Subsequently to this you privately
informed me, that vou saw the, whole difli
culty, but that you belit ved ihere would be
a sufficiency of testimony without yours.—
If by a perversion of Mr. Bates' statement,
anv gentleman has been made to believe
that you did make any such assertion, they
would do well to call on Mr. Bates personal
ly for a full statement of all the facts, as 1
have conversed with him. and our recollec
tion of the conversation is substantially the
same. B. BEDINGFIELD
