Miscellaneous Extracts. IDLE HOURS. Character of ou'spapers. How much i haracter there is in the superfr- * ci.il aspect of a newspaper ! It is a circulating 1 portrait of its editor, physiognomy and craniolo gy in vsrv page. The notion of a large man or a little man, a tall manor a abort man, is link- 1 ed with each sheet; and taking up one of those tebdominals, the figure of its editor rises before us as distinct as if he were not three feet off. Aye. do what thou wilt. Monsieur Goosequill— be bachelor, hermit or misanthropist—thou art seen and known; thy whimwhams and oddities, thy queer notions and crooked habits, even thy phiz, is circulated with each sheet thy carrier distributes. There is a sort of inseparable per sonality in the affair; no need of multiplying por traits or miniatures of that portion of the human race, yclept < ditora ; no need of biographries or auto-biographies;—only turnover your file pa pers, reader, and take a general introduction to the corps editorial. First comes a huge, clear printed sheet; this chap must be doing well in the world. His luc ubrations arc long and polished— not penned as if they had been interrupted by the perplexities of businss. Some blunders in typography’, one mans name spelt wrong, and one little runaway DCgro turned on his head—but then he is not always in his office, and not afraid of criticism. A middle sized, portly, gentlemanly-looking personage, doubtless, with a well brushed coat and a well furred hat, and no lack of the needful in his pocket. Take up the next large sheet, filled with ad vertisements. Now this man looks to the profi table. No long speculations in politics, on this side and on that,congress orations of two pages, end “ to be continued” at the end—no calls to the polls, Btc. &c. And as for Europe, a fig for it! VVho cares how many empires turn over, bow many armies turn out, and how many kings crc turned out ?—he takes care of his own little empire, a newspaper, and let that only flourish in peace and plenty’, the world may wag as it will. He must be a tall, thin, dark-looking man, with an eye that seldom turns to the right or left. He has a wife, too, to share his earthly cares and joys, and lucky dog, he must have hit on just the right sort of one. When ever a man of any sense finds his worldly affairs grow ing desperate,he always takes to himself a wife, and this grand experiment has one recommen dation—it is always kill or cure; she either con trives to mend matters, or she puts the finishing stroke to ruin: and either way.— That next editor must be a batchelor. His little periodical is so superfinely printed, so fantastically embellished, with houses and trees, fit for a souvenir. No letters misplaced, no wedding couples flourishing under the head of obituary, nor the dead transferred to the alter : of Hymen. He evidently has no wife; for a bad one would distract him with her clatter and turmoil, and a good one, would only win him from business. His newspaper is evidently his sole love. It ha3 some especial advantages, too, over all feminine appendages; it is neither obtrusive nor loquacious. Docs it not wear whatever garb he pleases to put on, and is it not grave or gay, kind or severe, at his bidding?— whereas, these wives are sometimes unruly ani mals, either to coax or drive. As many men differ from each other but by trifling qualities, so between many newspapers the shades of distinction are lightly drawn; oth ots, like tbeir authors are broadly marked and easily read. Look at that little coarse, greyish, sturdy seven-by-nine, with letters huge enough to granish a signpost, as if meant for the blind to read!—Lord bless us ! see the fingers and thumbs pointing this way and that way, and exclamation points enough for three modern tragedies. A genuine little roysterer. All the uproar in its power this little paper is determin ed to make. What a talker that editor must be !—a short, stout man, with a very big mouth; one who wears goggles, and lives in some place where the wind always blows a gale. He doubtless numbers among his household deities some half a dozen shouting, whoop and hallow ing urchins, and learned his emphasis by prac tising in that modern Babel—a domestic circle. Strange Demosthenes never thought of a nurs erv when he sought the sea shore to strengthen his lungs. The Boston Statesman relates the following anecdote of Mr. Vanderlin the distinguished American painter. When Aaron Burr was in his zenith, he happened to be travelling in the western parts of New-York, and stopping one day at a tavern, he saw what he took to be a fine engraving of uncommon vigor. He spoke of it to the land or.l, and was not a littlo amazed when he was told that it was a drawing made with a pen, by a stupid boy of his, an apprentice to the black smith’s trade, of whom he feard ho should neverbe able to make any thing. Burr sent for the boy and was so much.p'eased w iih him, tint he tr.. > obtain him, but his master sus pecting some secret value in his apprentice, woulU not part with him at least on any terms. ‘T.iKea shirt with you,’ said Burr in pacing the bov, come to New-York w'”o you can get a chance, and ask for Aaron)Rorr —he will lake cure ofyou. Some time h*i passed away and Burr had forgot the incident, when one morning at breakfast, in came tho strange-looking boy°, and as he approached, he plucked out a bundle Irom his pocket and gave it to him. The Colonel was not a little amused to find it a shirt. Here began the acquaintance, here the eminence of \ anderlin; and Heaven so ordered it, that ” hen Aaron Burr,the Julius Cmsarofourcountry, un3 in the wane, V anderlin, who had just left Paris, warm with favor and rich with all that mikes life comfortable, encountered him in his late desolation, and in his turn administered to the necessity of hi3 benefactor. a J Tliplendid Thpeaktr.—The editor ofthe Witness, published in Middletown (ConD.)ill naturedlv publishes at full length,the only speech fan aspiring member ofthe legislature, during three years. He says tho reader must “imagine : the tall and imposing figure of tho orator redu- 1 ccd to an angle of forty five degrees—-his legs, ‘ crook-ant —his arms, ramp-ant —his hands , grab—ant—his eyes squint-ant —the scintillationo i of genius flashing from the latter in such quick succession, that they form a halo of glory around his splendid head and expressive face. Here is the speech'. ’’Mithter Thpeakcr— Ath I had the honor to mtroduth thith bill, I think it ought to path,” THE WESTERN HERALD. j AURARIA, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBERS!, 1833. I We arc authorized toanouncc the name ofMnj JOEL CRAWFORD, ofHancock county, for Governor at the ensuing Election. —: 2J2K : Wc understand that a part of the state hands are on the road from Gainesville to this place, about three miles lliis side of Gainesville, and seventeen from here. The case of Killian for the murder of Pryor, in Panld ing county, a few weeks since, could not be tried last week at Paulding Court for the want of a Jury, so few persons were in attendance at Court, that a full Panuel of Jurymen could not be had. The prisoner was sent to Campbell county jail. Governor Lumpkin and Ratification. —It is U9ual for men holding high offices, to take sides upon all political ques -1 tions. The Federal Union says, that Governor Lump kin is decidedly in favor of Ratification; but it is so com mon with his Excellency when he goes to take sides, to take both sides,that we shall not be surprised to see it con tradicted, and evidences furnished sufficient to satisfy any reasonable man, that he now is, or has been opposed to Ratification. It would be more safe for the Federal Union in speaking of the Governor’s principles, to say that h e was on such a day, at such a place, for such and such prin ciples, so as to allow the Governor fair room for turning, which he can do with as much facility, as he can change . his linen. The Governor, ti. The Laws and Constitution egain. — It does appear to us, that the Governor with his f-reat anx iety to be popular, has been truly unfortunate in selecting tools for the purpose of carrying on the business of the “ Mighty workshop.” We say unfortunate, not by way of implicating those to whom lie has given offices and ap pointments, but to show the ignorance of his Excellency, of the laws and Constitution of this state, which laws and constitution, he is sworn as the Chief Magistrate of Georgia to support and defend. In addition to the cases : enumerated in tha Georgia Journal, of Cleveland, Ward, ; and others, where the Governor run rough shod over the oath he had taken, by giving appointments to members of the Legislature, expressly forbidden in the Constitu tion; he a few weeks since, made an appointment equally unfortunate, to wit: Captain Mats, of UeKalb county, a member of the Legislature, and a candidate for re-elec tion, to be enrolling agent: But the “unfortunate publi cation*’in the Journal, as the Federal Union pleases to term it, or some other circumstance it seems, has cither enlightened or alarmed the Governor and his agent, that the Governor had better look well to his oath, even if he was a candidate and the election closely approaching, and the Captain was sent for, or went of his own accord to the JV/ighty Workshop, and tendered his resignation as enrolling agent, in order to relieve the Superintendent from a difficulty which his restless anxiety had brought upon him. Dr. Calhoun went down with the Captain, expecting to fill the vacancy, but the Governor discovered all at once, that there was no necessity for such an officer at this time; hence he has suspended making any appoint ment for the present; keeping as many of his aids in ex pectancy as possible, until after the election. When a member of the Legislature is elected and sworn in as such, he is that moment disqualified under the Con stitution from holding any office of profit, until his mem bership ceases, which does not take place until his suc cessor is elected and qualified. For the members arc al ways subject to convene at the call of the Executive, be tween the regular times of meeting. Why is it that Gov. Lumpkin is thus disposed openly, to violate the constitu tion, which he has sworn to support and defend, must be cither attributed to his want of knowledge, or his want of honesty. If he id soignorant of tli” provisions of the laws and constitution of the state, aftc: so many years spent in her public service, it is time that the people were relieved from so gross an imposition, as has been practised upoil them by the Governor himself, and hi feeble aids, and selfish auxiliaries, in palming him on them. If he is so corrupt, as knowingly and wilfully, to violate his oath for th<? purpose of self-aggrandizement, he is tco base to be trusted with the most responsible office within the gift of the people of Georgia, and therefore, deserves to be driven into the shades of retirement for the balance of his life. -••aw*.— The Governor and his Political Friends, vs. his Political Enemies. Os all the charges which luivc been brought against Governor Lumpkin, during his administration, we have heard none, which moredecply stamps corruption upon his Excellency, than his conduct in issuing grants to to lands in the Cherokee countiy; ifhe has been so grossly slandered in relation to this matter, and if all we hear up on the subject is false, we regret that we live in a com munity where the people are eo corrupt as to do so much injustice to any individual. But “if wb ß t every body says must be true,” or “where there is so much smoke, there must be some fire.”|There is cause at least for believ ing, that his Excellency has; laid himself open for suspi- l clon b y •”* conduct towards applicants for grants to l landß m this country. There is one individual in this place that says, he applied to liis Excellency for a Grant for a Lot in this county, and the Governor refused it, upon the ground that there was an Indian improvement on it, and says that upon coming out ofthe state-house, he met one of the Governor’s political friends, who was a person al friend of hia, and that he requested him to make appli cation for the same grant, which he assented to and done forthwith, and the grant was issued without hesitation. We have also heard from a respectable source in Forsyth county, that the charges made in the Cherokee Ptusnix upon the subject ofthe Governors fayoring a particular company of speculators in this country, by issuing grants to them, which had been refused to other applicants, was susceptible of proof. Divers other cases of a simila’r na turc have been mentioned in our hearing, and wc belie ved at this time, there arc but few in this section of countt) , f so much prejudiced by political Influence, who do not be- ( lieve, that there is some ground for the many ’chargees which has been made, and aro afloat in the country, in re lation to the Governor's conduct in favoring his political friends in this matter Whether he is, or is not, concerned with a company of speculators, as charged in thoPhccnix, j and denied by the Federal Union, wc know, nor care ( not, but one thing we elo know, that if ho grants lands ( w hich the legislature has reserved for the occupancy ot the Indians, he is acting badly towards the state, by vio lating hcrlaws, and by issuing grants to one, which he hadjust refused to another,in our humble opinion,and iftrue disqualifies him completely, for the further confidence of a pocplc, claiming for themselves, flic character of honesty. RafijifaWeii, or .Vo Ratification in the I Vest. —Wc un derstand that the friends of tlus unequal, unjust system, attempted to be palmed upon the people for political pur -1 post s, speak of the W cstem counties, as their strong hold I | for Ratification. We have been in most of the counties ; ■ in the Cherokee country, and some of the adjacent ones, : ■ and from our observations, wc arc diaposedto defend the , ’ people living here from any such slanderous charge; al though the country is new, and our means of information upon general subjects, perhaps more limited, than tho9C whose fortune it is to live in other places. Yet wc never can consent to vote for any measure that will so complete change the form of our government, as the one proposed , to us by the late Reduction Convention What, to alter our Constitution under vvliich wc have lived and prospered so long; merely togratiiy a few politi cal demagogues, who arc always thirsting for power at | the sacrifice and expense ol the peoples rights; to consent | that minorities shall spring up with a licence to rule, and govern majorities in our state legislature; to say to the , northern fanatics, whose rule of light towards us is op pression; that we arc willing to destroy the federal basis of representation, and thereby yield so far to the Northern policy, as to enable them, from our own conduct upon this occasion, to deprive us of a considerable portion of that weight and influence, which we now have in Con gress. We cannot, we will not vote for Ratification- It is true a Reduction in our state Legislature upon equal principles, would be desirable to all of us, and it is no less true, that we will use our influence to effect it, provided the country and the people, can be benefitted by • it, and we believe that if the present plan is rejected, that . some speedy measure will be taken to bring about an ob , ject so very desirable, which can be done upon mnch bet i ter terms than the plan now proposed to flic people. FOR THE WESTERN HERALD. A STRONG ARGUMENT FOR RATIFICATION. Messrs. Editors —What our opponents ad mit, it is surely fair to claim. In a late stump speech by one of the advocates of ratification in Hall—the speaker remarked to his audi ence, it was clear all the intelligence of the state was against Ratification, and therefore observ ed he “if we homespun fellows don’t vote for Ratification it can’t carry.” The argument certainly should have a converting influence, but, whether for or against the speaker, let in telligence determine. C. FOR THE WESTERN IIERAI.D. TO THE VOTERS OF THE CHEROKEE CIRCUIT. In addition to the various and multiplied ex positions which have been given you in connex ion with the rest of the people of Georgia, show ing the oppression and injustice of the propos ed alterations to our Constitution, there is one view which afreets you peculiarly above every other portion of the State. The Convention has seen fit to throw you into the scale, for the purpose of weighing your po litical influence before many of youi counties are even one year old. Is It fair thus to weigh you in your infancy, and to give you no more weight during your existence ? Suppose the county of Lumpkin, of which there is strong probability,shall in three years or less time equal the county of Hall, in white population? Where is the justice in denying Lumpkin county the same representation that Hall has? Suppose that each county in your Circuit, shall have a population ot twelve thousand, would it be just or righteous, to debar the Circuit of Cherokee of twenty additional members, to which she would be entitled under the Constitution as it now stands? If you think it would, and will consent to be weighed in your infancy before your country is populated to its tenth, or even hundredth degree, then sanction the measure. Men have a right to transfer both their natural and acquired rights, it belongs however, to fools to give them away and receive nothing in return. Your feliow Citizen. C. ’ COMMUNICATED.

COL. TOM TROTI, Sec. to the Executive De’ment. j TOR THU WESTERN HERALD. Hall county Georgia, Sept. 10 th, 1633. An advertisement was found on a Sign Board about six miles below Gainesville, on the new road to Lawrenceville, on Friday last, the day of the Public Meeting at Karrs, ol which the i subjoined is a copy. ! NOTICE. All you Nullifies of Gainesville, who go to ■ Public Dinners for the purpose of t-lectioneer l ing,—if you don’t have the thumps on the first Monday in October next, then you may call me a false prophet; I think you will certainly come very lar short of electing your candidate for Sen ate. He will be so far behind that no body will know him at all, at all. This morning (Tuesday) this same Notice was found with the following answer, fastened to the post of the Sign Board below it. NOTICE. j Mr. Sign Board; I hope you will pardon the intrusionofa“ Nullifier,” inanswerto the above. ■; Your situation in the centre of a Submission settlement, I know may cause you to have some i particular partialities to that side of the question, i but it is my wish to address you as an impartial i arbiter. Mi. Sub’s first declaration is to “all the Nul lifiers of Gainesville, who go to Public Dinners for the purpose of Electioneering.” Now lam not an inhabitant of Gainesville, but as to “Nul lifier” Ido not disclaim the name. In justi fication then so far as lam concerned, or any other Republican, we answer that so far from “electioneering” on Friday last, we went the “ whole hog” for information. Whilst your par ty “huzzaed for Ratification,” we listened to the speakers of the day to gain information, on a subject so vitally important to the interest of the freemen of this country. In the next place he says “if we don’t have the thumps on the first Monday in October we may call him a false prophet.” Wc cannot be lieve him to be a true prophet, because there can be no “ thumps” in the cause of Republi canism. If he “ Mr. Sub” bad been at the meeting on Friday last, he would have seen who had the thumps. His party after drinking a good deal of Brandy and not being ablo to raise a fuss with the “Nullifiers;” began among them selves, and if they didn’t take the thumps I am mightily mistaken, for they were as bloody as butchers and as muddy as hogs. Yet I reckon they can take a little of the new medicine “ Lumpkiana Panacea” (which is a kind of a “king cure all”) before the first Monday in Oc tober, and they will unite and go for Lumpkin and Ratification, as loving as ever. Again he says “ I think you will certainly come very short of electing your candidate for Senate. He will be so far behind that nobody will know him at all, at all.” So ends the chap ter. Elected or not elected we can claim for our Candidate such literary attainments and intelli gence, as belongs to none of the Candidates on his side of the question. We by the by, got a glimpse at the person of his Candidate for Sen ate, but not at his eye, for that was fixed too low for the sight of any high minded Republican. Upon the whole we expect the writei of the notice has some idea of taking up the cudgel against the “Nullifiers” instead of * * ******* NULLIFIER. ! The following is from the Macon Telegraph, a paper 1 supporting the cause of Mr. Lumpkin. \ (fcs* Our friends in the country may continue | to remit us SMALL BILLS as usual. What ’ benefit the authors of this absurd law (the one ■ prohibiting the circulation of small bills,) expect | ed would result from its passage, we cannot imagine. For ourselves we can see no other result from it, than great inconvenience to all class* ; a scarcity of change, and consequently of money. The idea that it would make specie plenty in the State, is preposterous ; it will facilitate its escape out of it. Under the opera tions of this law specie cannot be retained in the country. It will be gathered up by the I negro speculators,the hog and horse merchants, and be ufw* h° m the State. We trust the law will be promptly repealed by the next Legis lature. Extract from CUv. Lumpkin's Message to the Legislature. Nov. 6,1832. “ The issue of Bank notes under five dollars, should be discontinued, and gold and silver coin made to supply the place of such notes. This would at all times keep a considerable supply of specie in the country; and thereby enable the Banks to meet sudden pressures, and would moreover have a strong tendency to equalize the value of Bank notes and coin.” The Recorder and the Federal Union are en gaged in a dispute that is curiously conducted, at least on one side. The Recorder, takes for the basis of its calculations, the representatives at the last Legislature; which are now in office, and reduces the paltry saving proposed by the Convention to $13,437. Tho Federal Union flatly accuses the Recorder o (falsifying the ex istmg record, and to prove this, they allude to what the record is to be next year, if the Con stitution should remain unaltered. It is true, as the Recorder says, that by the representation now in office, the savng will be but $13,437. And it is also true, that twenty pew members are hereafter to come from the new counties. Let us give to the Federal Union all that it claims by anticipation, and their saving can then be stretched up only to $18,057, or a minute traction * itei niitc£ clnis and a hall per iieati for the population *>f the State, putting the whole’ down at 533,710. — Geo. Journal. GOV. LUMPKIN S CHANGE BILL. To the Printer sos the Journal: Gentlemen. —l am a poor hard working man, and have but little it is true—but that little ■ I have honestly come ly, and it is my own, and ; I have a right, or thought l had a right till lately jto do with it as I choose. I sold my viheat ! about 3 weeks since, and got some small Ban!; bills in pay : this money I put by until I could havo a cn.incc of going into town to buy some necessaries for ITi y family, not thinking hut that it was all good passable money’, that I was put | ting so snugly away, lesterday I had a litt] e spare time,"so 1 took my horse and went to the store where I always deal; and got a few pounds of sugar and coffee put up for me. Havinir brought my money along w ith me, 1 wanted to settle for them, and took out a three dollar bill to pay for them. The store keeper when ho saw the bill seemed a good deal frightened, and as there were several people in the store! asked me to walk aside w itli him. I could not think what he wanted with me, and began to guess my money was counterfeit —but after tie got out, lie whispered to mo that I was running a great risk of being sued, for offering to pav away such money; as Gov. Lumpkin hip a l?.v passed the last Legislature making it c fine Ci one hundred dollars upon any man offcriniw pass a note under Five dollars after the Ist of this month. And he begged me, as he was my friend, to mind what I was about, because, though he would not do it himself, yetanyonec!’ the strange men who were left in the store miaht, if he had taken notice of my money, have sun! me for one hundreo dollars, and recovered the amount against me in Court; and if I could not pay it, put me in jail. What! said I, a man sued for one hundred dollars, and may be put in jail for passing rr Wl | money, honestly come by? Did Lumpkin 4 that ? because if he did, I don’t vote for him again. The merchant told me it was all Lump'- kin’s doings, and if I did’nt believe him, come back in the store, and he would show me Lump, kin’s last message to the Assembly, to read, | and in it, I would find the very thing “he told na . , So I went back with him, and sure enough in pointed out to me the recommendation. Alter , I read it, I begged him to let me have some pa , per, pen and ink ; as I wanted to write it down, ’ to show it to my neighbors—some of whom, 1 , knew were such strong Lumpkin men that they ’ would not. anymore than I would, believe it , before thev saw it in black and white from his ’ awn hand. I set down, and wrote the part off, word for word, as follows: “ The issue of Bank notes under Five Delian, should, be discontinued, and Gold and Silver cm made to supply the place of such tiolcs.” Nov. 6, 1832. Wilson Lumpkin. Now I recollect to have heard, that there is : very little Gold money coined in our country ■ “under 5 dollars,” —and that there are no gold pieces from foreign parts to be found in this 1 country of that description, at least I, an oSI man never saw one made here or abroad; solk I don’t see how the stopping ofßank bills undo five dollars could “ make Gold coin in their place ;” but as I am a poor ignorant man. and Governor Lumpkin is, or ought to be, a ven smart man, knowing all about such things, l'il let that pass. The reasons he give- for his piai are, that it will bring a great deal ofmoneyis the country, and help the Banks. Help tie rich Banks ! Nothing thought of the poor peo ple, who like me have some of these small notes, and have no way of getting them off without running the risk of being sued ! Hard dollars | coming in the country —ch! How long first! One year? Two years? if indeed they ever do come at all. W hat is the poor man to do with his small notes? and how am I to get chang* when I sell my wheat or my pork? How is ray wife to get change when she sells her butter, her lard and her chickens. Not sell at all I suppose; but wait one or two years, until may be, haul : money will come into the State. The rich tab are to be helped, eh ; nothing cared for the poor countryfolks! The law n.a vdo very well fa Governor Lumpkin himself, who is a rich inl and gets between 8 and 9 dollars a day for his pay ; and can go to the State House andgetti* hard dollars lroin the Treasury: but there’s ma ny a poor man whose little stock of money ir made up of 1, 2 and 3 dollar bills, that the law won’t do at all for ; and I’m one of then). I hear the Governor wrote to his friend, Mr, Pemberton, that he was in a Mighty Workshop, I begin to believe that the Workshop is too bi{ for the old man ; and that he is right when k says his helps arc mighty scarce, and scrryil that. I’m afraid the people’s business don’t do so well in the Work Shop. Where there’soi sorts oj tvmiZZ 1 darc “ few” helps, who he anon- are get their paper money turned into ban* ~ But what’s the rest of the people to do who CM get to the Lathe? A poor man fined 100 dollars for passing i small note ; good money, and honestly comebd W’ell, that’s queer ,- and Gov. Lumpkin is d* poor man’s friend, eh! Well, that’s queerW and after telling you that, I don’t vote for again, all I have got to say besides, is, that iffeHj is the poor man’s friend, as he takes a strange way to show it, I’d rather be withouttoH friendship than with it—l hope all the sit* keepers and merchants, will boas kind to poor farmers in warning them of their my stole keeper was to me; and that tell them all about Lumpkin’s Lau\ In doiojH so, many a worthless scoundrel who would®*M advantage, will be cut out of the honest gainsc;| A POOR MAN. I The Newspapers in the State, friendly tofcll Poor Farmers, will do them, I believe a servii§| by publishing the above. I hear there is a P*'K| per printed in Milledgeville, called the j Union, which most every time it comes just bejore an election, talks mightily about poor man’s l ights.
