and which Mr. Clay objects to having re pealed or modi tied. IFhy? because that Tariff wages a war of extermination against the value of the products of Southern la bor, and the labor being rendered valuless by high protective duties. We of the South will be driven to abandon our pur suits and with it our slaves. Are not the planters of Georgia now reaping the bitter, fruit? Colton at three to five cents per pound, and every thing they raise for mar ket correspondingly low, while every thing: they consume of the manufactures of Ihe j country, have risen from one third to one half in price. This is the fullilmentof the treasonable prophecy of Henry Clay, upon tthc victims he would now woo to his deadly poll! tea I embrace. Msk yourselves, planters of. Georgia, how is it that you as a class, are! thus suffering, whilst, the manufacturers j are rolling in wealth? It is because thei Tariff of 1542, makes you sell in the cbea- j pest, and buy in the dearest market.

LET THE PEOPLE HEAD. Land distribution. “I am in favor of distribution, bv the Government, of the land revenues among the several States.” —Hairy Clay in LS If. REVERSE. “1 know of no principle in tire Consti tution that authorizes the Federal Govern ment to become such a collector for the Slates.” — Mallory's Clay, vol. 1, page 589. The Tariff. “ I have every where maintained that in adjusting a tariff for revenue, disctimi nations ought to be made for protection.— Clay's Letter to Cope. REVERSE. - “Duties should he laid without refer ence to protection. [ The original com promise Bill.] There is no necessity of protection for protection.” —Henry C> iy. “ We must reject both the doctrines of Free Trade and of a high and exorbitant Tariff AH parties ought to !>e satisfied with a Tariff for revenue, mid discrimina tions tor protection.”—C lay' ..perch at Ha- Jeigh. A Seitional Bank. “ I believe the establishment of a Bank of the United States is required.”— Clay's llultigh speech. REVERSE. “We are not empowered hv the Con stitution to renew the chatter of a Bank.” Clay in 1311. The Tariff. “But the duty never becomes an inte gral part ot the price.”— Mallory's Lac of Clay, vol. 2, page 3-8. P. EVERS E. “ It may be taken as a im!e that the du ty upon an article forms a portion of its price.”— Vol. 2, page 110. Direct Ts ration. “ Who has the temerity to propose, in time of peace, to raise revenue by direct taxation ?” Vol. 2, page 544. REVERSE. “ I was opposed to a total repeal of the internal revenue.”— Vol. 1, page 400.

REVERSE. “Sure am I that the party pledged it self to no such reduction of the public ex penses, as 81 : i,ooo,ooo.”" —Malleiy s Life of Clay, vol. 2, page 535. Rc-Annexation of Texas. “I am wholly opposed to the annexa tion of Texas to the Union.” —Substance of Clay's Letter, May, 1844. REVERSE. “ Personally 1 have no objection to the annexation of Texas—l should be glad of it.”— lb., July, IS4I. Coffee. —The whole product of this ar ticle tor the year 1843, is estimated at 459- 000,000 of pounds, of which Brazil is reck oned to have produced 170,000,000 ; Java 140,000,000, and Cuba 45.000,000. The remainder is divided in different pro portions between St. Domingo, Porto Rico, the British and Dutch West Indies, Cey lon, French Colonies, the 'last Indies and Mocha. Rio Ccrflec is fast supplanting, especially for American consumption, the other descriptions. The production of Brazil has increased very largely within a few 3-ears, and the capability of that c::- tcnsiveand fertile empire for further and indefinite increase, together with the small amount of labor required lor the cultiva- tion and in fitting the commodity for mar ket, point to Brazil as the chief source for the future supplies of this important arti cle of commerce. It lias beesi estimated that at three cents a pound the cultivators of Brazilian coffee are better paid than any agricultural labor in the United States.— The imports ofcotiee from Rio de Janeiro to this port have grown to considerable importance. The cities of Baltimore and Boston Jjave hitherto been the chief mar kets for coiTee from Brazil, but it is quite probable that the trade to New Orleans will rival either, possibly both of them, in a few years. The trade of Brazil offers a great field for American enterprise. The recent ac tion of the British Government, designed to proscribe Brazil in company with othsi slaveholding Slates, must render that etn piremore indifferent than before toarenew alofits commercial agreements with Eng land, now about expiring. France and the United States, therefore, become the natural competitors for the traffic with Brasil. Our country can offer great in ducements, and ought to supply, in return, for Coffee and other Brazilian commodi ties, nearly all tlie provisions, and a very large proportion of the manufactured good* required in the empire, I>esid<*« do ing a gn at portion of the i arrying trade TW Su4* , rU>t Court of tliw c*»u«tv wit! iu< et on .linn t*y Mx'.atui aiijournuiitii Weitne* l»y.

FRJEJ.TJEN OF T?«E 34? oe.V. RESSIOSAL DISTRICT. We desire to say a word or two to you before the great battle on Monday next.' Before our voices can he head again, you ! will Le called upon to exercise the highest I prerogative of freemen; namely, that of j choosing your own rulers! Are you all! ready ? Have you all calmly and serious- 1 !y reflected upon the nature of the itn-; portant trust which you are about to ex ercise, and the character of the issues j before you? Have you reflected upon; the influence which the result of this elec-; tion may exercise upon the interests of' your own beloved Georgia, and upon the Union] If you have not, we beseech! you by every consideration which raav have weight with patriots—by every tie that is dear to Southern hearts—to do so before you vote. Fellow citizens, one of the candidates before you on this occasion, is identified in feeling, a3 well as in interest, with yourselves; and is pledged by the high est obligation which man can feel, to labor assiduously in behalf of the great leading interests of this State, and the prosperity and glory of her people. That man is Jaaif.3 *il. Polk. The other from his ;connexion with measures, and iiis identi ty with parties, is pledged, according to the showing of his own friends, to strong! li en the interests of aclassof mauufactur- era and Bank monopolists, more grinding and exacting upon the labor of the people and the rights of the citizen, than the blackest despotism in Europe; and to bring about an event pregnant with the most fearful consequences to our section of the Union. That man is Henry Clay. The contest is between these two —and one or the other of them must be elected —choose ye, fellmv-citizens, whom you will have. We believe your intentions are patriotic. We believe you desire the public good. Lay aside then, for a mo ment, your party trammels and party pre judices, and look only with the eye of a patriot to the present perilous posture of public affairs. See the gathering cloud that is rising above the political horizon, which, if not dispelled, must ere long spend its fury upon your heads, and act as becomes patriotic citizens and honest men, and we have no fears for the result. Never, fellow-citizens, since tho great struggle which resulted in the indepen dence of these States—certainly not in any hour of peace—has there been such an ardent appeal to your patriotism as the one presented in the present issue.— This congest will decide whether the Con- stitution sha’. 1 be preserved with its checks and balances, or trampled under foot, to suit the interests or caprices of the most corrupt and unscrupulous faction that ev er disgraced a free country. It will de cide whether the laboring producing classes of this great country are to main tain the freedom and dignity of American citizens, or he reduced to a condition j worse than that of colonial vassals. Let then, that just and chivalrous spi rit, and that undying hatred to oppression for which Georgians have been so cele brated, be aroused once more. Let it fire every soul with enthusiasm, from the seaboard to the mountains, and the flag of victory will float in triumph from every battlement, and the escutcheon of Georgia will be encircled with a halo of imperishable renown. Strike fir your altars ntiil ymir fees, GoJ, ami your happy homes! The day of action is at hand ! The last tap of the drum will Li given on Monday next, and Georgia expects every; man to do his duty. If you do that, the j result of Monday’s election will gain for. this generation the admiring applause ol j all after times. If you do less than that, your children will curse the memory of; your baseness, and your names will be come the synonyme of every thing that is craven, wherever virtue and patriotism are cherished. Now is the time to vindi cate yourselves and your much abused institutions from ibe slander of your dead liest enemies, the abolitionists! Now is the time to speak tbrouab the ballot-box! Let your decision be proclaim* and in tones of manly indejtemlcm•., that will thrill every patriotic heart and strengthen eve ry patriotic arm iu the union. Let it go ; fortii m one loud and overwhelming ac claim, rising from your beautiful valleys and reverberating from among your eu r nal liilD, till the remotest borders of tin land shall be made joyful with the news. Freemen of Georgia, you have in your keeping, a Messing or a curse for your State on Monday next. Choose ye ! VIEWS ON Till! lit BICON.: Cheerily, brightly, gloriously breaks forth j the dawn of the triumph of republicanism; i and first, we give the following extract! from a letter addressed to the editors of] the Richmond Enquirer, dated New York, October lSlb, 1*44. “ Thinking you would be gratilled with a few lines from this the “ Waterloo” of our great contest, I hasten to inform you that having just returned from a political excursion throughout the .State, I confidently as sure our Southern friends of at least 20,- UOO majority here. We are united toa man, and handed together with unprece dented enthusiasm. D-jiat is out <f the question. Nw 1 ork is as safefor Polk as is Alabama." NORTH CAROLINA. The Raleigh Standard speaks in cheer ing language about the old north state. Whiggrry is trembling in the breeze there, and the Democracy are aroused in every section ; and the finest results may be ex pected from this steady old state. OHIO. A letter from Ohio, dated Columbus, Oct. 10th, to the editors of the Richmond Enquirer, *uys, our returns tire all in, and the whig candidate fbi Governor is elect ed by a majority of less than 1009—upon a popular vote upwards of 310,000. — This result, so far from discon raging us, has increased our confidence in carrying the State fhr Polk and Dallas'. INDIANA. A letter of a Lite date to the editors of the Nashville Union, says : In Indiana the whole mass of the. Democracy ofthe Stare, politicians, public men, and people, have been aroused to the highest pitch of enthu siasm and zeal—and the vote of this state is certain for Polk and Dallas.” TENNESSEE. This state is moving for Polk and Dal las with an impetuosity as irresistible as the current of the great river that laves her western shores—and wrffcast her vote for the Democratic candidates by an over whelming majority. And next comes the Old Dominion, of her the Enquirer says: “We are aware that the whigsare now’ ma king a desperate onslaught upon Virginia. They have been writing Mr. Clay that he Would carry the state. Coombs fells his brethren in Kentucky th it she will not de sert her native son. as if Virginia ever sa crificed her faith for any man. When one ot her sons abandons her principles she abandons him—Virginia, like Cornelia, has many sons who are her jewels—but, j beyond even her own sons her principles are her jewels." Virguiia is therefore safe for the Democratic candidates, she will stand where he stood at Yorktown and has always stood when the country has been jin danger, in the front rank of its friends. ABOLITTON! BN TIIE SOUTH—IN GEORGIA—IN TWIGGS COUNTY. Awful rff et ofti certain ls hig stump Or •tor, and now a member diet to the next Con-' gress. Running n parallel between free and; slave labor,and deducing fes sits unfavor able to the employment of the latter when brought into conflict with the former. We publish the following letter with re gret. Not that we fear the abuse and vituperation that will be poured in floods upon us by those whose opinions we re gard, and whose characters as citizens, we respect, but because we are appalled at the fiiets that it develops, and the stern necessity our duty imposes upon us to present them to the public. We charge no party in Georgia with being identified with the Mbolitionists— but we most deeply regret the alliance j formed between the two great wings of sthe Southern and Northern Whig parties [The Northern IFhigs we conseieneiouslv | believe to be deeply iinbted with Mboli itionisrn in its worst forms} and the politi- Ical identity offeeling between the two on jail other subjects, must and will lead to a most deplorable laxity o f sound Catholic | Southern feeling on the great question of [Slavery, if not to an absolute change of i sentiments. Mr. Clay is to nil intents, an emancipa tionist, and is most earnestly bent on ef fecting the gradual abolition of slavery, by the interposition of the slate Governments. lie avers most unequivocally in his let ter to Cassius M. Clay, the celebrated Abo litionist that he is neither an abolitionist or an ultra advocate of the institution of Siave- jry. Can his best friends deny this? If |ti;ey do not; and they cannot, we ask them jean any man be considered safe upon that question, and be entrusted with it, without being the ardent yea, the ultra dc ! fender 61 Slavery. The Crisis on the slave [question has at last come !— No man can [longer halt between two opinions. lie must be willing to defend tiie South upon that great, that all absorbing question, by the contribution of his last dollar, and the sacrifice of his last drop ofblood, or he [must basely abandon liis country to the ruthless neophytes ofyldam's, and the in siduous, the masked but fatally destruc tive policy of England. The one will demand it as a tribute to appease the infuriated fanatics ofthe North and to remove in the language of /Febster ‘•the stain of moral degredation from our National flag” while England will require it is a “msto offering” to the civilized tui tions of Europe, and urge it as an indis pensable propitiation to the .Spirit ofthe 19th century. But we say to./dam's and to England that the “fruit is not yet ripe.” However they may feel encouraged hv the demon stration of some of Mr. Ch y's prominent! friend* and the apparent identity of feeling between the two great wings ofthe Fed eral party, vet there are not at present such! development* in> will authorize present unqualified action on tie Jr part. The great mu** oftln- Bombers (wopfe ure nnd we trust m God wit! continue to b# true to themselves and to the Constitution on this subject. AH that we have ever feared is that the leaven already exhibited amongst individuals attached to the /Fbig party may infuse its baleful effects more extensively. -Is a patriot and a Southern man, we had as soon surrender the slave question, as to surrender Texas, tor we believe most solemnly, that sooner or la ter the loss of Texas to the South, must result in the abolishment of that institu tion. Mr. Jefferson said in the language of prophecy that Slavery must have territo ry upon which to diffuse and expand itsdj or jit would inevitably perish. In a few years we shall have a redun dant slave population, and necessity will compel us either to the acquisition of new territory, or to gradual emancipation. The two classes exercising tiie same privi leges, and having the same means of of fence and defence, cannot exist together under a Southern sun. He leave the wise and ; the patriotic to draw the curtain of the fu ture aside and to tell us and our children i what the “bodiless hand” has written upon [the wall. Maco.v, < Jctoher 25tli, 1 844. Dear Sir: Having heard of a recent [difficult}’ that occurred between yourself [and an abolitionist in Twiggs county, 1 should lie glad to know whether 1 have been rightly informed in regard to the facts. Is it trial that there are men bold enough to avow such doctrines under the full blaze of a Southern sun ? By replying at an early day, you will oblige your friend, &c. S. M. STRONG. ! Hon. Bexj. B. Smith. Macox, October 25th, IS! 4. [ Dear Sir: It is true that there arc open and avowed abolitionists in this county ! On Monday, the 6th of October, the day that our Confessional election look place, a man hv tne name of Henry Holmes, a citizen of this county, and a slaveholder, publicly stated that he CVas an abolition ist, in the presence of at le.tst seventy five or eighty men. L T pon his making the avowal, tearing that I might have miaun lerstood him, I asked him to state what he had said again. lie then said that he was an abolitionist—upon which I gave him several blows. I should be glad to stop here, but there are two other men of the same principles ;in our county; one of whom, George IF. Bust wick announced himself an aboli tionist in my presence; and the other, Jas. Adams, Jr. is notoriously so, and fns so declared himself in the presence of j some of our most respectable citizens.— 1 It is unnecessary to add that they are all Clay men. | Trusting that there is yet sufficient j strength and patriotism left among us to i protect the South from those vile and iri | famous incendiaries, 1 remain, Yours re speetfu i1 y, BENJ. B. SMITH. S. M. Strong, Esq. The Hon. Benj. B. Smith, formerly t lie Treasurer of tjie State of Georgia, now a resident of Twiggs county, is the author of tfie above letter. It is not published <>r electioneering purposes, nor to ex< ite the public mind, but to draw the attention ot' the sober thinking portion of the peo ple to the fearful tendencies of the spirit of abolition. The Hon. Benj. B. Smith was one of the defenders of our frontiers daring the late Indian war; and we rejoice to see the arm that saved the life of Tentiille, and healed his bleeding wounds, still strong enough to chastise the enemies alike of the country and the South. LOOK WELI, SO THIS: POLL*. W e warn our friends to be active and vigilant on Monday. Be on your guard against fraudulent votes. Let every man entitled to vote exercise his right ofsuf- Irnge; lie zealous that even an opponent exercise his full right in this respect. But lie most careful that no illegal vote goes into the ballot box. Next in importance is the getting out the entire Democratic vote, and we beg here to urge every one to exert himself in accomplishing this at | the Congressional election; we know of at least twenty Democrats, many of them in a stone’s throw of the ballot box, who could not be induced to vote. Hue is the secret of the success ofour opponents whenever they have had any. They al ways poll their full vote! whoever heard of a Whig that would not vote? while the falling off has always been on our side. Some of our men either voting tor some of their candidates, or shrinking meanly from the contest, and not voting at all. Let every Democrat see that his neighbour at tends the polls on Monday next. That Democrat who refuses to vote now, is a traitor to his party. It is sound doctrine in politics as in reugion, that the man who is not with us, is against us. A GOOD 51 OTTO. “ You are enlisted in the canse ; put your shoul ders to the wheel, pray to God for success, and push on the column.” —And new Jackson. Democrats of Georgia! the eyes of die whole confederacy are upon you. “You are enlisted in the cause,” and have tri umphed gloriously in the recent struggle. From your peculiar position and interests you have the most important stake in the coming conflict; and wo warn and be seech you by every consideration which can have weight with Georgians tied pa triots, to “push on the column." The de cision of the present contest is of the highest importance to you, in every light iu which it can be viewed. It may de cide whether the blessing* of a x . i nmeut, like tiie dews of heaven, shall fall on all alike, or whether they sb ill T t n. mopali s«'d by a -<‘t of manufacturers an 1 moni ed monopolists, m »re grinding to the la bors of the oeople and the right* and lib erties of the citizen, than the htuckoi! do«|Mnis<n of Europe.

Every man can do some good. Then each and all “put your shoulders! to the wheel and push on the column. FRAUD?, FORGER IKS. ROOK BACK CIRCULARS. Among the many miserable expedients that the certainly of approaching defeat has suggested to the desperate managers of the Whig party, none has been more [criminalor contemptible than that known Ito infamous notoriety as lloorbaeking. — This means nothing more or less than de liberately inventing the most calumnious libel that an unprincipled partisan slan derer can concoct, and circulating it through the land as the production of some author who is in reality fictitious, or so rare that not one person in a hundred thousand ever saw it or can see it. 1 iiis ; abandoned game was first started to ma lign and vilify the venerated memory of a revolutionary patriot; and the honored [relies of Ezekiel Polk were sacriligiouslv torn from the sepulchre, after the repose [of half a century; to sate the hyena ap : petite for partisan abuse. But the base ■ attempt to make political capital out of the false charge of Ezekiel Polk's Toryism. j though sustained by hundreds of Roor | hack certificates, has so signally failed and ! recoiled upon the heads of its authors, lthat it might safely be left to the undying ; contempt of all honorable men of either !partv, if the Louisville Journal and the N. Y. Tribune fund not recently brought it forward in a more imposing form, under the name and style of Ezekiel Polk's Oath. The Louisville Journal, wo believe, is entitled to the credit of forging an oath “out of the whole doth,” and attempting to palm it upon the public as the oath ot allegiance taken by “old Zekp Polk,” to j the British crown. This was cunningly : ascribed to “ Stedman’s History of the diiiciican /far,” a verv scarce book puh ! fished about fifty years since. But titilbr i innately tor the author of this fraud, there happened to be a copy of it in New Yoik, On a careful examination of which, noth ing of the kind could be found in it from dine corner to the other. Thus was dis posed of this calumny, though it is circu lating, we understand, in stent and confi dential circulars, signed J. M. Berrien, ft. i Toombs, and others, to be exhibited on tfii' day of the ehction. James K. Polk's Brand-d Slaves. The next most remarkable instance of this base practice, emanated from the zll bany Evening Journal, and other whig prints, who, to secure abolition votes, charged the democratic nominee (fir the presidency, with branding the initials of jiis name, .1. K. P. upon the backs of for itv-three of bis slaves, with a red hot iron. This infamous charge was made on the 'authority of “Roorback’s tour in the Suit h IFesl,” a book that never had any exist ence except in the fertile imagination of the Evening Journal and other prints of the kind. Although this forgery has been thoroughly exposed and even confessed I»v those who originated it, we warn our fellow citizens to look out for secret and confidential circulars. IFilh shame he it spoken, that this slander was readily adopted and circulated by the Richmond Whig and other pretended southern prints. British Gold. This humbug came from the mint of Colonel James /Fat son /Febn, of $52,000, and brass-barrel-pistol-memory, editor of the N. Y. Ccourier and Enquirer, who has the shameless audacity to assert that the free trade party of England has sent .£440,009 sterling, to he used in securing the success of the democratic party in the approaching election. This charge was founded upon a pretended extract from the London Times, of “sometime since ;” hut on a searching examination of the file of that paper being instituted by Dr. Bart lett, editor of the New York Million, at the request of a committee of democrats, no such paragraph could be found. At miv rate, the charge comes with a bad grace from those who are at the same time ac cusing the democratic party of a deliber ate design to involve this country in a war with England and Mexico, and declaring that war with them will inevitably follow the annexation of Texas. Lookout for swrf and confidential cir culars on this subject, from J. M. Berrien, It. Toombs, J. A. Meriwether, and others. Free Trade Bread. But the very poorest imposture that has I yet been attempted, is the “free trade bread,” made of sawdust and rye-bran, I baked at some northern manufactory, and j extensively circulated throughout the mid fille States. This delectable article, we are informed, is intended to he exhibited oil the stump, at public meetings, as the kind of bread the people would have to eat if Folk was elected ; but if they suc ceeded in placing Mr. Clay in the presi dential chair, the dear people might regale themselves on “two dollars a day and roast beef.” The whig managers, we hope, and firmly holicvc, have far under rated the intelligence of the American people; this contemptible humbug will be spurned with the contempt it deserves. If Mr. Berrien has brought any of this article home we hope lie will favor us with a loaf, and inform us how Cassius M ircellus is, an I old John Quincy, and Seward and Slade are. Keep an eye open for free trade broad. A real Mare's Nest, at hist! fiirm if* \ iniiuahon by the Democrats,.

TME CERTIFICATE PARTY. Nothing shows so conclusively and be yond doubt the conviction that even the whig leaders themselves feel that they are deceiving the people, when they chame an alliance between the Democratic party and the abolitionists, than the fact that ev ery thing they now publish, it is necessa ry to have certified by members of con gress, justices of the peace, or some other distinguished personages.

(t/* Beware of a very ferocious and warlike circular, full of fire and brimstone with a faint smell of bologna sausage. ARKANSAS ALL Df/nOCKATIC. It is with no little amusement that we have noticed a disposition open the part of our opponents to appropriate to them selves several of the staunchest demo cratic Stales in the Union, Virginia, Hlu hnmn, and Missouri, they think nothing of doing; but it is laughable to see them attempt to lay violent hands upon .Arkan sas, the western Gibraltar of Democracy. The whigs have taken no little trouble to disseminate this report about the country, to cheer the spirits of their drooping fol lowers, and bring their faltering battalions again to the scratch, on the first Monday in November. But it won’t do gentle men—it won’t do. If it will do the heart of anv democrat good to know that Ar kansas is democratic to the core, then let him know it, when we tell him that she has given heavier democratic majorities than ever, at the recent election. Gover nor, Congressmen, and Legislature, all democratic by large majorities. “You’ll all have to give it up soon, Mr. Clay, von all have to give it up soon.” Look out far Arkansas circulars. 318.
