One hundred guns fi* republican Bibb!
Bibb, Mhe Gibraltar of democratic pritt
>'* Georgia, has borne her sell most
gallantly in the late eontest. Never be-
Jhre in any previous struggle—never since
we have witnessed election conflicts, have
we seen one so stubbornly and actively
contested by both parties, as the election
on Monday last, in tlie contest of that
day, the whigs of the city and county put
forth their entire strength. The democ
racy had to encounter federalism in its
most formidable shape, and with all its
-rrls. But all the efforts of whigery could
not overcome the strength of honest prin
ciples, or frighten the republican voters
of Bibb from their propriety. The peo*'
pie of Bibb love their country too well;
they are too true to the South and to the
tail'll of their fathers ever to turn aside to
worship at the shrine ofthe false gods that
whigery attempted to palm upon them.
Bibb stands where she has always stood,
upon the broad platform of Republican
ism, “fearing nothing, earing nothing.”
We have increased our majority in this;
county since the October election, thirty
three votes ! The vote polled on Mondav
was the largest ever polled in this county,
being 1570.
While upon this subject it would he
unjust in us not to speak in terms of high
commendation of the energy, zeal, and
sincere efforts displayed by several of our
friends on the day of the election. Their
conduct is w trtliy of all praiseand should
never be forgotten by the democracy ol
Bibb.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
During die past and present week we
have had in our city two distinguished
citizens of Texas, General McLeod and
Commodore Moore, who are on a visit to
their native land. The former, who has
recently been united to Miss Lamar, ol
Augusta, will leave shortly for Texas, to
fulfil his duties as a member elect to the
next Congress. He is an ardent advo
cate for annexation, ami seems as fait up
f»n that great, and that delightful question,
' n all its branches.
i . gallant Commodore passes on to
| ' ir gin>a (bis native Slate,) to see his con
nexions and old friends. From thence be
will go to New York on private business.
j I bey both concur in the belief that Santa
Anna will make no efficient military de
monstration upon Texas during the pre
sent or succeeding year. We feel per
fectly assured that while Texas is deten
ded by such gallant men, the “lone star”
will still continue to float in triumph and
security.
SUPERIOR rOl KT.
j lhe winter term of Bibb Superior Court,

WAR WITH ENGLAND.
WARFOR THE EXTENSION OF SLA
VER Y.
Extract from C. C. Cambreleng’s
(Speech at a Mass Meeting of Loco
Focos in the City cf New York, Sept.
9th, 1544.
Mr. C. then turned upon the effects of
Annexation on Slavery. He said the on
ly difference between Henry Clay and
j Santa Anna was, that one preferred a mild
to a severe course. Santa Anna would
govern by force, Henry Clay would govern
by corruption. But il battle there must he,
it will not be with Mexico. There is no war
from that quarter which we can fear. It
{ will be with Great Britain. It is England
that comes under the pretext of Abolition
ism—England which once entered into a
treaty, to monopolize the Slave trade.”
* * #
“I believe that the crisis has now arri
ved when we must join issues with Great
Britainon this important question. Wheth
er we are to submit tamely to the usurpa
tions and aggressions of that haughty pow
er, or to meet her like men, and defend
our territory, inch by inch, the battle of
November will determine.”
The following resolution was unani
mously' adopted by the meeting:
“Resolved , That it is the paramount
duty of every Democratic Republican to
extend and secure the area of freedom, and
to this end to use the most strenuous and
prompt means for the occupation and set
tlement of our territory of Oregon, and for
tlie re-annexation of Texas to the Union
“at the earliest practicable period.”
Who that reads the above can question
tor one moment the friendship and up
rightness ofthe Northern Democracy to
wards Southern Institutions; or their en
larged patriotism on the subject of Annex
ation.
They look over the paltry considera
toins of sectional jealousy 7, and view it as
a principle in the Rc-puidi* an Creed to ex
tend and enlarge the Area of Freedom.
RIK.XEY AO AIV.
As the whig certifiers, and whig press
generally, in this State, upon the eve of
ihe laic election, took gieat pains to de
teive the people as to the political con
nexions of the abolition candidate for the
Presidency, we publish the following ex
pose from James G. Birney himsell, and
commend it to Messrs. Bertien, Toombs,
and the certifiers generally. The people
will see in this letter, how far the charges
made by the whigs about Birney’s being
a democrat are substantiated by his own
testimony.
From the Albany Argus.
MR. BIRNEY’S POSITION.
The following explains itself, as well
as the reason why the. Evening Journal,
to which it was addressed, did not dare
publish it. It scatters to the winds the
Saginaw Roorback. In addition to what
Mr. Birney states in relation to his acting
with the whig party up to IS3G, and ne
ver with the democratic party, we have
the authority of a gentleman conversant
with Mr. Birney’s career as a politician,
tl>r saving that he was a whig elector in
Km tuck y in IS2Y, and voted as such for J.
<f Adams.
To the Editor of th* Albany Argus:
Sir: The following letter was handed
to the editor of the Evening Journal, on
Wednesday last, for publication. The
next day a garbled extract appeared in
that paper with remarks misrepresenting
Mr. Birney in other particulars, so as to
lose nothing in the way' of capital. As
that Journal is in the habit of assailing
its political opponents, aod then refusing
them a reply, 1 request a place lot'Mr.
Birney’s letter in your paper.
Respectfully,
Rome, Oct. 21, 1544.
To the Editor of the Evening Journal :
In your paper of the 15lh instant, I find
the following: “It is notorious that James
G. Birney is a free trade man, and irre
concilably hostile to the whig doctrine of
a protective tariff, and liiat before being
an abolitionist, he acted with the loco
focos.”
So far from having said or written any
thing from which it could be interred that
I am what is generally understood by a
“free trade man,” I have published as
extensively as I could, that 1 am in favor
of continuing the existing tariff as long
as it shall he found beneficial to the coun
try'. This you might have learned from
the Liberty party papers. I have never
acted with the Democratic party, nor am
l aware that I aave ever been charged
with doing so except of late, by certain
j whig prints, which persist in circulating
the falsehood, notwithstanding I contra
dicted it some two months ago in the De
troit Advertiser, in which it first appeared.
I acted with the whig parly till 180(3,
when finding it equally as the democratic
party, unworthy of trust, I terminated my
connection with it. Both parties are un
der the control of the slave power —the
most formidable enemy of free institutions.
Respectfully, &c.
JAMES G. BIRNEY.
“The Report of Debates in the General
|Conference of the A/ethodist Episcopal
.Church held in the city of New York, in
1 1844, bv Robert Atiiow West, official Re
porter.”
The above work may be found at Board
man s book-store. It is a full and correct
report of the speeches made by the vari
ous ministers present at that conference,
upon the subject of slavery as connected
with the Methdist Church. Both sides of
the question is fully and ably discussed,
and the report ought to be in every man’s
band in the South.
Dr. Capers bore himself throughout the
debate like a Christian, a statesman, and
a patriot, and sustained himself unflinch
ingly upon the premises he assumed.—
Dr. Olin seems to have forgotten the land
of bis former adoption, and the friends
that fostered his rising genius and made
him what he is. In other words, on this
great question he has left us both in per
son and in principle.
PESASYLVANIA.
We have returns lrotn sixteen counties
in this Slate; in these the democrats have
gained about 1800 votes since the October
election. This State has gone for the
democrats without any doubt, by an in
creased majority over the October vote.
The old Keystone State, like Jack Fal
staff, seems to have a kind of instinct for
the “true prince.”
ELECTION NEWS.
Post Masters and others, will greatly
oblige us by transmitting to us by the eat
licst conveyance, the results of the Elec
tion in the various counties, of this as well
as of the adjoining States.
It may he weakness, though grow ing
out of all that is most redeeming in our
nature —die desire that is in us to makej
the city of the departed beautiful as well
as sacred. The green yew that flings
down its shadow, the wild flowers that
spring up in the long grass, take away
from the desolation ; they are the type
and sign of the world beyond themselves.
Even as spring hiings hack the leaf of the
bough, the blossoms to the grass, so will
a more glorious spring return to that which
is now but a little human dust.
THE EtDOF THE WORM).
We have seldom seen a more sublime
and awful representation of the last day,
in language, than the following description
of a celebrated painting, said to beat pre
sent exhibiting in New York. How the
mind shrinks hack appalled at the contem
plation of a subject so awful, so fearful,
and so overwhelming!
“The sun shiijes brightly over the earth, and;
the* calm hour has suffused its quietness and repose]
upon all na'urc, as when animate and inanimate!
existence seems to forget all solicitude and resigns!
itself l<> enjoyment. Suddenly! nature assumes a
strange appearance, and the light of dav lades to
a sickly hue before the premature shadt*3 of claik-j
ness, which all awakens among the alarmed, the j
enquiry for the cause, and while the bewildered I
multitude are held in doubts, the heavens deepen]
from a lurid red to the dye of blood. Thunder j
then shakes the globe, and terror holds the amazed j
—escape seems their only aim—hut lime has gone I
and the last hour is come! The heavens of fire !
and blood are now traversed by dark clouds, until!
lliey leave all in darkness, save the hue ol blood j
that streams around the fiery horizon—the earth |
shakes, and the (ire falling from the high dark on ,
the lurid billows of (tie distant sea, all together
combine to render the scene, lor its terror, inde
scribable and horrific! Behold again, a light, for j
its effulgence, never tjpfore seen, gleams suddenly •
front out the darker part of the skies, and lavs it- ,
self in a cross of light, on the dark field ot’ the hea- ;
vens. It is the signal of the Kingdom or ;
Christ! And thus the dream ends. This is the
moment selected by the Painter.
“The scene of the painting presents a wing of,
a temple. A statue of Saint Paul, unshaken amid j
the ruins that crumble around, stands with uplift- 1
ed hand, warning the people. The light of the |
picture tailing in its intensity, from the glowing.
cross and suffusing itself over the centre of the;
heavens, subdues the effect of the sun, the light- I
ning, and the conflagration.”

INDUSTRY.
None can know what industry may ac
complish, until the trial has been made.
Be industrious and persevering, and who
can tell the result? An example of what
it may do, is found in the proprietor and
publisher of the New York Sun. At an
earlv age he was apprenticed to a caoinet
maker in Hartford,Connecticut. He was
allowed fifteen dollars a year to furnish
himself with clothes, and the privilege of
doing over-work at a low price to supply
himself with pocket money.
His first earnings in this way barely
procured him a single candle to work by.
By the light of this he was enabled to
purchase two more, till at last, working
late at night, he earned two cents an hour!
But he was industrious and persevering.
At the age of nineteen, he paid the sum
of four hundred dollars for his time—a
sum which lie had accumulated by his
own industry—and became his own man.
He then commenced business for himsell,
married before the age of twenty, work
ed from daylight in (he morning till eleven,
twelve, aud one o'clock at night, sawed
all his wood while others were asleep,
and lor a number of years carried the
grain upon his hack, for all the meal and
flour used in his family.
He is now the owner of three hanks,
all the circulation of which he says he is
able to redeem at an)’ hour, without touch
ing their capital. He still claims to be a
mechanic, and applies himself industri
ously to his business. He may he Con
sidered a “child of tbrtune,” but he cer
tainly has been a man of industry.
An English paper states that a physi
cian at Darmstadt, has discovered a sur
gical mode of curing consumption. The
seat of the ulceration having been ascer
tained by means of the stet hoscope, the
matter is discharged outward by an inci
sion being made in the cavity of the breast,
penetrating the lungs. The cure is final
ly effected by medicine injected into the
wound by a syringe.
On Bad Company. —The learned and
pious Sir Matthew Hale, when a youth,
was too addicted to the society of some
vicious people, which he did not break off'
until an alarming accident broke him from
it. Being invited with some other young
students, to a merry-making out of town,
one of them during the carouse called for
so much wine thut, notwithstanding al(
Mr. Hale could do to prevent it, he went
on in his excess till lie fell down as dead
before them. All present were not a lit
tle terrified, and did all they could to
bring him to himself again. This partic
ularly affected Mr. Hale, who went into
another room, and shutting the door, fell
on his knees and prayed earnestly to God
both lor bis friend, that he might be re
stored to life, and that he himself might
be forgiven for having countenanced such
excess. Moreover, he vowed to God that
he would never again keep bad company
in that manner, nor drink another health
while he lived. His friend recovered,
and Mr. Hale most religiously observed
his vow till his dying day. It was this
great man’s resolution, drawn up by him
in writing, for his own private nsc, with
regard to company (among other articles
of conduct) to do good to them, to use
God’s name reverently while with them,
to beware of leaving an ill example among
them, and to receive good from them, if
they were more knowing than himself.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
niJSCOGLE DETOCRAT,
And Spii il of the Age.
Under this title, the undersigned will commence
during the present month in the city of Columbus,
Georgia, anew weekly Journal, to be devoted to
Politics, Literature, Commerce, Agriculture, and
Genetal Intelligence.
The following synopsis of the plan of the pa\>er
is respectfully submitted to the public.
I. As the name imports, the political principles
of the pa |>er will he thoroughly Democratic. The
doctrines and measures advocated, will he those of
Jefferson, Madison, and other distinguished states
men of the Republican school. Besides the sup
jxirt of the general principles of the Democratic
creed, this paper will ever be found the strenuous
advocate ol southern rights and southern interests,
in opposition to the mad schemes of northern fana
tics and foreign emissaries—will urge the annexa
lion of Texas as a measure of vital importance to
the ivellare of the whole Union, and will sedu
lously labor, that the great conservative principle
of the Constitution —the Veto Power— may be
perpetuated in that instrument as tiie great sheet
anchor of our political safety, lit State politics,
the “Democrat,” will be the humble co-worker
with kindred prints in advancing the honor and ]
interests of the commonwealth; and in the cam
paign of the ensuing year, will he prepared to ,
battle manfully on the side of the People against 1
Federal misrule ami Federal tyranny, under what
ever disguise.
11. A department of the paper will lie devoted
to the cause of Education and Polite Literature,
where may l>e (bund the gem of poetical composi
tion, the instructive Tale, the chaste Essay, and
agreeable Miscellany, with occasion notice of the
progress of science and the arts.
HI. Under the Commercial head will be found
all that appertains to the state of markets at Itome
and abroad, the condition of trade, prices current,
&e„, &.C.
IV. The department of Agriculture will receive
special attention. Notices of all improvements in
the culture of the earth—rearing of stock—domes
tic economy, and every thing in which the hus
bandman takes either pride or pleasure, shall have
their allotted place in our columns.
V. A department of News, local and general,
foreign and domestic, congressional, legislative,
and executive. This portion of our paper will be
a manifestation of the “Spirit of the Age,” a re
cord of all passing events and interesting occur
rences of the existing generation of men.
With this brief outline of the plan and design
of the (taper, the undersigned respectfully solicits
the patronage of his friends anil the public at large,
and especially of his republican brethren ol the 2d ;
Congressional District, and adjacent counties of
and Alabama. |
Conditions.— The Muscogee Democrat will be ;
published on a large super royal sheet, every Sat
urday morning, at Three Dollars per annum, pay- j
able in advance. The cash system will be adopt- j
ed as far as possible. For $lO in advance, four)
copies of the paper will he sent for the year. The j
terms of advertising will he unttsuallv liberal.
