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 A an Huron Collar tufm have been most si*;- sially defeated. It was thei* intention to Lave pi: cad in the Chair some pliant tool of the pirty, who would “follow in the foot %»eps of his illustrious predecessor,” (Polk) a t,I do the dirty u 'rrothis party :*t.> this end they inanagr and to exchule the (Representa tivesof Ne w Jersey from the organization of the House, fully believing that if they suc ceeded in this daring and high handed mea. 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.

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 hoinebotiml. happiness, and all the comforts umhslmhed enjoyment' is once mote with u*, “killing” with irs “sharp breath” the “infectiousjdanips, and the spent air, strong afresh with elemental life.” “Winter! 1 love thee, for thou com'st to me, Laden with joys congenial to my mind, Books that with bards aud solitude agree.

' 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. MKRMADUKEGRESHAM. Dec. 23, 1339. 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. Given under mv hand this 2!st Decem ber, 1839. RICHARD KID”. 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.
