more ulc'ulv t!i<* nr. it «lis:,<lv;uit;i"<\s of this
indirect trade, we will take the lust of the year
lstlii and tlie first of the year 1837, a jteriod
so fruitful of losses. Now then it is well un
derstood in the usual course of trade and busi
ness that the Southern and South Western
Merchant is obliged in full and summer to re
pair to New York and other Northern Cities
at great expense of time and labor as well as
of money, to purchase his Goods. It will Le
recollected, Cotton at the time. October and
November 1836, rated Irani 15 to 20 cts, and
his purchase of goods, was predicted on those
prices; but by the time be returned home
Cotton had fallen 50 per cent, and Goods in
the same proportion. He finds himself with
a heavy stock of Goods on hand, on which he
is unable to realize, unless at great sacrifice.
On the other band, if the trade were direct, he
could in that case from week to week or from
month to month, according to distance, lay in
his supply of Goods, as his wants required, and
he would accomplish this important object,
without the employment of half the capital or
credit, with comparatively few of the risks, of
the great fluctuation common to trade.
In conclusion I would observe, that in order
to effect our great work, there must be harmo
ny of feeling, and unity of action on the pari of
the States concerned. It behooves us all,
individually and collectively from Mississippi
to the Potomac, to lend our aid, to the great
undertaking not only of vast importance in
itself, but also essentially connected with still
mightier works, I mean our Great Kail Ronds
of internal communications, alike the admira
tion of tlic old and new world.

and great respect, your most obedient.

My Dear Sir—We have received the pa
pers, which you have, as Chairman of the
Committee of Correspondence of the Augusta
(Commercial Convention, addressed to us on the
subject of direct importations.
It seems to us, the subject is an important
one, and is entitled to the support of every
Southern Planter.
The success of the scheme would ado! to the
wealth and prosperity of this pot tion of the
l nion, without unjustly interfering with the
prosperity of others.
Nothing can be more reasonable, than that
we should desire to secure to ourselves a fair
proportion of the profits to be derived from the
exchange ofour own productions, for those of
Ft r i nc< u tries. The pro eat course oftrade
and the longestahlished habits of the country,
present obstacles to our success—but these
we may hope, can, by zealous and persevering
efforts be overcome. We know of no means
better calculated to effect the object, than by
such Conventions as that which was recently
assembled at Augusta Ga., and of w hich an
adjourned meeting is to be held on the third
Monday in October next. From such an
assembly, composed of able and experienced
men from all the States interested, appeals can
l>e made to the people w hich may serve to en
lighten the public mind, and create that har
mony o [feeling and energy of action on which
success must depend.
We hope and believe we shall succeed in
our work, and that your views will be carried
into effect, and your patriotic objects obtained.
With great respect, we subscribe ourselves,
Dear Sir. vour friends and obedient servants,

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.
When I look upon the tombs of the great,
every emotion of envy dies w ithin me ; w hen
1 read the epitaphs of the beautiful, every inor
dinate desire goes out; when I meet with the
grief of parents upon the tomb-stone my heart
melts with compassion ; when l see tombs of
parents themselves, I consider the vanity of
grieving for those whom wc must soon fol
low ; when 1 see kings lying with those who
deposed them, when 1 consider rivals laid side
by side, or the holy men that divided the
world with their disputes, I reflect with sor
row and astonishment on the little competitions,
factions, and debates of mankind ; when I read
the dates of the tombs of some that died yes
terday, and some sixteen hundred years ago, I
consider that great day, when we shall all of
us be contemporaries and make our appear
ance together. Addison.
PRICE OF AM AUTAGRAPII.
Persons of some distinction arc often pes
t2red hv unknown correspondents with appli
cations for their autography. Jules Janin,
who is the literary editor of the Paris newspa
per, called ‘ Journal des Debats,’ lately took
an Ingoneous method of compensating himself
for the trouble given by such an application.
Prince Mctternich requested his autograph, and
the journalist sent him the following : “ I ack
nowledge the receipt from M. dc Mctternich,
of 20 bodes, Johnnnisbergb, for which I re
tu*n, infinite thanks. Ju’ei Janin”. The
Piince in return doubled the quantity, and
sent him fotty bottles.

MACON:
Saturday .Hornin;, September 8, 183s.
£5“ Our correspondent “ L.” is requested to con
tinue her “ letters,” Ac. We make the request both
because it is our desire, and to inform her that their
publication cannot be immediately commenced. And
we would take this occasion to remark to correspon
dents generally, that it is contrary to our rides to pub
lish communications in unconnected parts, until the
whole have been received. They, therefore, will see
the necessity of submitting the w hole before any part
can be published.
55* What does our contemplated connection, by
Rail-Road, with the West promise to the South? what
to her sra-ports ? what to her entire people, from the
foot of the mountains to the sea shore ? It will be the
great artery of n new life. Population will rapidly flow
; in upon iicr thousands of uncultivated acres, and new
energy fire the bosoms of her too dormant sons. There
is a powerful latent energy resting there, that only
wants an object for its action. Let us be connected with
the great and growing West ; let us identify our inter
; est, and who then shall mark the bounds ofour united
prosperity, and sav to the rolling wave of power and
wealth, “ thus far shalt thou go and no further” ? In
this depends the main security of the South, in the
peaceful enjoyment of her domestic institutions. But
this part of the subject we shall let rest for the present.
The South is called upon to prosecute this measure by
the strong ties both of interest and security. The West
offers her hand to unite in the completion of ihe most
mngnificient enterprize of the kind ever contemplated ;
and what Southern will be laggard of his help, mite
though it be, in its execution. Intimately connected
with this subject, is another of vast importance to the
South, to wit: that of
DIRECT IMPORTATIONS.
The subject is undergoing investigation in a manner
its importance demands. And, we hope, the approach
ing Convention to be held in Augusta, on the 3d Mon
day in October next, will show' by its results that much
may be done—and done speedily to forward the enter
prize. We commence, the present week, the publica
tion of the letter of Colonel A. P. Ilayne, together with
those addressed to him by a number of distinguished
Merchants, in Charleston, and would request for them
are attentive perusal by nil who feel interested in the
welfare and mercantile independance of the Southern
and South-Western States; and also would join in the
request that they be widely disseminated by Editors in
these States,
95* Wc have received the first number of “ The
Georgia Argus” printed at Columbus, by James N.
Bethut e. Its selections are good and its typographi
cal execution very neat. It has a political bearing,
but dots not identify itself with any present existing
party, and stands opposed both to a National Bank a -id
the Sub-Treasury scheme.
The following remarks we quote from its editorial:
ELECTIONS, TERATING, &C.
We rejoice to see that steps have been taken
in Bibb county to put down the shameful and
corrupting practice of treating for the purpose
of procuring votes. While this practice is
allowed to continue, and men are anxious to
procure scats in the Legislature, but little can
j he expected from any effort to exalt the stan
j dard of moral feeling in any community where
it exists. While it is countenanced by the
| moral and respectable part of society, candi
dates will generally feel ti e nselvcs compelled
j to bow to the necessity of the case, and comply
j with the custom of the country, however re
! pugnant it may be to their feelings or their
j principles. There is one mode of treating
which lias grown up in this county, and, for
aught we know, in others, which is not only
very onerous to the candidates, but degrading
to them and all concerned. For years past
there have been men in the county who have
made it a business to get up barbecues, for the
purpose of extorting from the Candidates about
four times their value. It is given out that on
such a day there will be a barbecue at such a
place—-the candidates are all invited—on the
day some sort of a dinner is gotten up, and
after it is eaten the candidates are called upon
i to pay for it—and they, for fear of losing a
i vote or two, arc compelled to submit to the
j extortion. x
This system has a degrading influence up
on all concerned : the candidate feels degra
j ded, because he is compelled to submit to those
i base exactions from men whom he cannot but
| despise in his heart; he who is the beneficiary,
is, if possible, made more corrupt, for it gives
him a chance to rejoice in the idea that he has
an opportunity to filch from thecandidate that
for which neither he or any person else has
received an equivalent. It has a degrading
; and corrupting influence upon others—because
there are many who would not otherwise
attend them, who are always ready to go to a
barbecue where they know they can riot and
be drunken at the expense of the candidates.
We repeat, it is useless to attempt to purify
the morals of any community where these
practices are tolerated to the extent that they
are in this. We have never heard any man
express an opinion on the subject who did not
profess to regret the existence of such tilings,
and yet they continue to exist. Why is it?
It is because while they make these professions
they arc willing to see their favorite candidates
succeed at any price. There is no difficulty
in putting it down. Let the moral and reli
gious part of the community set their faces
against it, let them determine, and act upon
the determination, that they will support no
man who engages in these practices, and they
will soon cease. If but one hundred men will
adopt this course, it will be put down. Surely
there are in Muscogee many more than a
hundred who will adopt this plan to arrest this
great evil.
If a man chooses to get up a barbecue at his
own risk, as a matter of speculation on public
occasions, for the accommodation of those who
choose to cat and pay for it, we do not sec
that there is any thing objectionable in it; but
when he gets it up to feed every body that
chooses to eat free of cost, and then call on the
candidates to pay three or four times as much
as it is worth, is creating a sort of monopoly,
very onerous to the candidates, and corrupting
in its influence upon allconcerned, unless the
candidate should refuse to submit totheimpo
sitiou.
Kr The Editor of the “ Darien Telegraph” has is
sued another Extra contradicting the statement made
in the “ Savannah Georgian,” and signed by several
citizens of Datien. This statement went before the
public contrary to the knowledge or consent of the Ed
itor, together with one of the names signed to ih ‘ instru
j ment, according to the certificate published with the
extra. We certainly regret that this matter could not
tie settled to the satisfaction of all parties. Out of it
still greater dissentions may grow, that will lie of lasting
injury to the prosperity of Darien. In times of strong
political convulsions the freedom of the Press has not
uiifrcquentlv been al u j ed, and, perhaps, in many in
stances justly so; hut it the present wc are totally at a
loss to perceive the magnitude or henious nature of the
offence committed by the Editor, sufficient to warrant
tbe destruction of his Press. No light and trivial caus
es will ever justify such a course, nor will the public
give its assent. We do not intend to throw ourselves in
the breach by advocating the cause of either party, hut
hope lobe found always ready to advocate the liberty of
the Press. It is Freedom’s bulwark, behind whose
ramparts the liberty of millions is secure. Her spirit
had scarce ever found a resting place on earth until the
invention of Printing, and it should he held sacred as
the guardian angel that hovers over and pfotects us
when clanger is abroad, and we unprepared to meet it.
I here are other means, and more effectual, whereby
to stop the abuses of the Press, when they become per
sonal and intolleranf. The law can reach an Editor
as well as any one else, and to which he is as much
amenable. Ko fur as our knowledge has gone, Mr.
McArdell has been a constant and unwavering advo
‘ cate of the interests of Darien. This of itself is suffi
ce*, t to hide a multitude of faults.
