THE MESSAGE !! ! -
This long looked for document has at
length been received ; too late, however, lor
insertion irt this week’s paper. Next week
«>ur readers shall have it. good or bad, or as
much as we c:tu rind room for.
The House of Representatives has refus
ed, by a vote of 110 to 112, to swear the
New Jersey delegation, holding the certifi
cate of the Governor, as members of the
20 th Congress. Thus have the Van Burett
patty given anot!t'*r evidence of their reck
less disregard of the Constitution and the
law;s. •«
The Columbus papers state that a rumor
is afloat in that city, that the stock of the
Ilawkin.iville 15 ink has been purchased by a
company in Alabama.
John It. Bays, convicted of the murder of
his wife at the last Superior Court in Troup
comity, has been pardoned by the Legisla
ture.
The river having risen considetably du
ring the past week, sevral steamboats have
been enabled to reach our wharves, laden
with goods for onr merchants. The market
is now supplied and those dtsirous of pur
chasing can hove an opportunity by coming
to town. Tile river, we learn, is again on
the'tlecline.
S vile calumniating driveller has made
his no tearance in the columns of the Fed
i". and Union, in an attempt to ridicule the pio
pnsition to e’ose ihe Florida War. publish
ed in onr paper a few weeks ago. So far as
his remarks in relation to the size of the
Mirror, are concerned, we care nothing, hav
ing no other feeling than that of other con
tempt for the insignificant and pitiful effort
at slanderous wit. The innendoes, however
pat forth in relition to the brave and meri
torious odicar whoso name was coupled with
th it proposition, jjro as shamefully false as
they are hast and ungenerous ; and we would
infer n their author that it would be an un
healthy undertaking for him to exhibit his
person in this commit! ity, where Coh J’s
vr'uabl ■ services are known and appreciated,
and hold the same language he anonymous
ly uses through the Federal Union. We
would be mistaken if he did not receive for
11 is pains a feathery coat, and give our citi ~
zenslhc smrisfaetinn of seeing a Rail Retie
hi successful operation through Centrestreet.
Our'ln-t Legislature is said to have com
bined more wisdom, talent, and integrity'
than any other Legislative body that ever
met in Georgia, The splendid abilities of
Col. Stephen D. CkaSk, of Lumpkin,
shone eon-pit nous amid the blaze of intel
lect elicited by the several highly exciting
topics of legislation, and placed him in the
eminent position of leader of the majority.
Ilcand old Billy Springer, sometimes call
ed the “Great Western,” are undoubtedly
the two biggest men in Georgia. The one
remarkable for his transcendency of mind,
the other for his symmetry of person. Well
may the Van B men parly in this State be
proud of such leaders. The sensual por
tionof them, and those who look upon per
sonal grace and a winning address as the ne
plus ultra of human greatness, may find am
ple reasons for enlisting under Mr. Sprin
ger’s banner; while those who bow at the
shrine of genius, and acknowledge its influ
ence over their souls, may attach themselves
to the train of Col. S. Douelass Crane.
No wonder the State Rights flag is not al"
ways triumphant, when it is opposed by so
powerful a union of mind and matter as
these two popular leaders exhibit.
' TAXES,
The taxable property of the Sta*e o(
Georgia is estimated at two hundred and
twenty-five mitlions of dollars. '1 he sys
tem of taxation now in vogue, bears very un
equally upon the holders of property, some
paying at least, four times as much as oth
ers, for the same descrintion of propertv
In Kentucky, the taxable property of the
State is valued at two hundred and seventy
millions of dollars. The rate of tax is equa
ble. being ten cents upon every hundred dol
lars.
In Indiana the rate of tax is thirty cents
Upon the hundred, and in Ohio it is fifty
Vepts ujiqu every hundred dollars,’
GEN. HARRISON *s, MARTIN VAN
BURES.
These two distinguished individuals are
the opposing candidates for the Presidency.
The former is the nominee of the Federal
Whigs, the latter the appointed ruler of the
Federal Collar men. We say distinguished,
and it may not be amiss to show how each
deserves the appellation.
Gen. Harrison then is distinguished on
account of his bravery and military skill a 1
the Thames, and other battle fields, when he
was fighting for the ho-:or of the American
flag, and in defence of American liberty.—
He is distinguished for his ardent attach
ment to the Anti-slavery cause ; for liis Fed
eral principles, and his consistent advocacy
of them; for his uniform opposition to the
“powers that be;” and for the unexpected
encouragement lie met with at the last Pre
sidential election to run a second time.
Martin Vanßurenlias more distinguish
ing traits than liis opponent. lie lias been
more upon the public boards; and his skill
innecromancy mnde'him the
“observed of all observers.” He is distin
guished for the accuracy with which he
“treads in the footsteps of his iilustriou*
predecessor,” in walking over the’ruins of
broken Constitution, lie is distinguished
as a political weathercock, veering with eve.
ry breeze of popular favor, and consistently
pointing towards that quarter of th*' compass
whence blows the strongest current. IJe is
distinguished for bis opposition to Mr. Mad
ison and the list war with England ; for bis
opposition to the reception of Missouri into
the-Unipn on account of her being a slave
State; for having declaied that Congress
possesses the constitutional power to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia; for
keeping up the war which Hen. Jackson
commenced against the credit of the coun.
try. In short, he is distinguished, like his
competitor, for his Federal principles and
his advocacy of a thousand pernicious doc
trines, either one of which ought to destroy
his prospects of success, and drive every
true hearted Southerner from his support.
To neither of these distinguished candi
dates therefore, can we lend our aid ; so
long as wc entertain a principle of our own,
we mean to struggle for its success, and nev
er will be found deserting the standard which
bears for its motto the words of the immor
tal Jefferson, “that each State has a right
to judge for itself, as w ell of the mode as if
the measure of redress*” We know no dif
ference between Harrison and Van Huron.
They are both enemies to the rights of the
States, one being as dangerous a foe to the
South as the other; how then, can w» choose
between them ? We are sick of the talk a
bout a “choice of evils;'’ We will not do
a certain evil for the sake of an uncertain
good; we will not he compelled to do
that which nur souls abhor. because
wc cannot be exactly suited to our
mind. Thank God we have enough
of independence est to say we will not sup
port an enemy of our faith, for the high and
responsible office of President. We are
not content to be “hewers of wood am!
drawers of water,” for our Northern hicth
ren; wefeel that we have equal rights, and
that those rights demand our care and at
tention. When shall our vassalage he bro
ken up? Not until we shall have fought
the battles of the Constitution, and woo lor
ourselves the in lependence to vote for a
President who will protect the sovereignty of
the S ates.
To this end we shall keep the flag of our
beloved Troup koisted at our mast head,
nor shall it be struck to any other which
floats hi a different cause, In supporting
him our conscience is “void of offence,” for
it is with a consciousness that we are sub
serving the best interests of our conntiy,—
And if the Union is to be ru'edby a Federal
ist and an Abolitionist, as we believe both
the present candidates to be, we intend tha t
our skirts shall be. clear of the sin of helping
to throw lire countiv into such hands. So,
|e t others do as they may, we shall still cleavo
to the ’doctrines of the Constitution, and
(support GEORGE M. TROUP as the
practical friend of those doctrines.
William J. Davis, Marshal of the District
of Georgia, has appointed Matthew Wright
Esq. to take the census of this county.
James L. Ross for Randolph; IlughM D

During the distribution of the Northern
mail at this place on Tuesday last, w e caught
a glimpse at a little paper bearing tlie cog
nomon of “Fool Killer,” making its way
to Irwinton to execute its fell purpose upon
our neighbor the “Nepenthes.” Judging
from its title we think our friend at Irwinton
in rather a shy way.
One thousand aud eight hogs were driven

On Saturday 21st. the House of Repre
sentatives made, choice of Hugh A. Gar
land to be Clerk of the House, anil of Rod
erick Dorsey to be "Sergeant-at-Arms.
ft has been more than once stated in the
Globe that the New Jersey Members, whose
seats have been refused to them by the House
of Representatives, are abolitionists. We
are requested by a citizen of New Jersey,
who is now in this city, to state, that this in
timation is false, and must be koowu to be
so by those who make it inasmuch as the
