THE REPUBLIC. “ Government derives its just powers tint from (he authority of Rulers , but from the cousenl of (he governed. MACON, NOVEMBER 8,18u'" BIBU FIRM as THE HILLS. •‘Faithful n.un.l among innumerable lilts**, Unmoveil, unshaken, unseduoed, untterrified.” 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. The following is the rcsultof the dec-1 lion in this countv : Democrat. Whig. McDonald, St! 1 !

' The pride of patriotism, the noble eu-! iloisinsrn inspired in the bosom of everv man hi whose veins courses the warm cur icnl ol a Freeman’s blood, when lighting lor the interest and honour, the lasting glory and perpetuity of free institutions, h.is triumphed overtire selfish interests ot a few party leaders, who lo .glit only for personal advantages and personal rewards anti Geoigia, noble Georgia, stands out a-j niuiig her Republican sisters, redeemed, regenerated anil disembroiled, from the* yoke ol Federalism, which sought to rob the country of its ren wn, and the people! ofllu ir lights. The sway of Feilenilisui lias licen over thrown, the hv<lra has been vanquished in Georgia. The people true to the gen erous attn< hmenls which the love ofliher-, tv always inspires; have rebuked the am-; hition of those who were attempting to be tray the State, and deiivrr her bound hand and fool to her deadliest foes?—We congratulate the Demneraev of Georgia, we congratulate our Democratic friends throughout the Union, upon the glorious victory achieved in this State, over Feder alism and modern Whiggery on Monday last. The stale has east her vote for the j Democratic candidates, by a handsome! majority despite the ctfbrts of Whiggery. The federal party resorted to every expe dient to carry this stale, and have again proved themselves to be w hat Bonaparte asserted the Bourbons w ere, “a party that never forgot anything, and never learned anything.” But it would not do, the Flag! of Democracy, t lie banner of tlie Repub lic, Hunts in triumph upon the battlements of Georgia.

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, Judge Tracy presiding, commenced its {session on Wednesday last. 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.” The first three volumes of Baron Butt-i sen’s great work, with his profound views on Egyptian languages, writings, history, and chronology, were to appear in Ger rnanv on the BOth September—Text and Plates. Cll9l PEI.TI ENTARY. The bluelight Faculty of Cambridge Uni vcrsiiy,has proscribed Bancroft’s great j work, the History of the United States. It was too thoroughly American for their tiistes, and is no longer used as a text hook at that institution. 7’hey may cast it out from their walls, but it will live long as English letters survive, anil rank with the best works of the Augustan age of English literature. SOUTH CAROLINA The following are the names cl the Representatives chosen at the recent elec tion in South Carolina to represent that State in the next Congress. They are all members of the present Congress except Mr. Sims, who takes the place of Mr. J. Campbell, the latter gentleman having declined a re-election. The Whigs did not run any candidate, except in one dis trict, where they were unsuccessful. James A. Black, Jos, A. Woodward, Annistead Burt, Isaac E. Holmes, It. B. Illicit, A. D. Sims, Rich’d F. Simpson. 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. Married, at Augusta, Ga., on Thursday, the -24th ultimo, Gen. H at McLeod, of Texas, to Miss Repecca J. Lamar, of the former place. , Died, on the 22d September last, at Galveston, Texas, Mrs. Eliza C., consort of the Hon. B. C. Franklin, of Galveston, and daughter of T.
