the republic. "Tqjoveriiinent derives its just powers, not from the au thority of Rulers, hut from the consent of the Governed.” ',/.i cos, soVKM/u:i: imi. We love tlie {reason but despise the traitors. English paper. Sucli was the exclamation of the Lon don Times on hearing that a Whig Senate had rejected the Texas treaty. That ex ecrable sacrifice of the interest of the Re public upon the altars of ambition and party» excited as much surprise in the Courts of St. James and St. Cloud, as it did indignation in every true patriot heart throughout the length and breadth of our Union. After the disgraceful drama had been enacted, the Senate dispersed to their different homes, some to receive the ap plause and others to meet the reprobation of their countrymen. It is true that there were those among them that still lingered al the capitol to plot new treasons, or sped jo the North to form new alliances. Among the whole band of political mercenaries that thronged the public meet ings at the North during the campaign just passed, eminently distinguished above the rest, as well by the high station which he occupied, as the depth of treachery: which he meditated, in ltold relief stood John Macpherson Berrien. In juxtaposition with Black Dan, and that superannuated politician, whose old heart has been for years saturated with donblv distilled venom, which upon all occasions he lias emitted with noxious ef fusion upon the South, he has with a bold ness ill-suited to his nature err early history. defied the execrations of the people, of fleorgin, in the hope that his base betray al of Southern rights being so obvious to Ibe federal party, he miulit in this wav three his claims upon Mr. Clay in the event of his election, and thus insure for himself a birth into which lie might roiire and cover up henceforth and forever, the rnemorv of Ins political obliquities. But die defeat of Mr. Clay has hermetically sealed his fate. Destined to drag out the brief term of his political existence, in ihe Senate ebamber, be will there, amid the Pntrrs Conscript! , meet with the same cold, formal treatment, like that which characterized the reception of Arnold by the lion-hearted heroes of the English Ar mv, “hiring the treason but disputing the traitor." Hetributive justicr i« only suspended ! After the expiration of two short years he will have to resign the office which he has dishonored, info the hands of those who conferred it. He will then be left to return to Ins old profession of special plea ding, or go back to bis native Jersey and employ the remnant of bis days in wri ting the memoirs of a disappointed states man. If he concludes upon following the latter suggestion, were his confessions a show st as his political acts are infamous, lie could not leave a more valuable lega cy to the rising generation of the Whig school. Ifonssean’s might be more charming for their ? nt, but the Senator’s more intej esting from their history. Both would be essentially the same .in one particular — tin' conceptions of reckless and prifligatc minds. In the one might be observed, the glowing genius and vivacious fancy of a cultivated but perverted intellect; in the other, the calculating speculations of a cold and warv statesman, plunged in intrigue, toiling for office at the sacrifice of principle and feeling, friends ami coun try; whose nature was never elevated by otic generous or noble impulse, and whose heart long since indurated by selfishness, was never warmed by one sunny ray of ’patriotism. Nevertheless the very iciness of the man would enlist our interest. We should view him as a rare phenomenon in ihe political and moral wofld. A hitman be ing endowed with a high order of talents, elevated to a prominent position by the personal zeal of political friends, vet ne ver responding by a reciprocity ol good deeds, or suffering the contagion of gener ous services to inspire him for a. moment with the most beautiful qualities of our nature — remembrance and gratitude. Look for a moment at the recent con duct of this itinerant Senator during his Northern mission. While intertwined in loving fellowship with the an cun regime, his blue-light brotherhood of ISI2, with out authority or power ol attorney, he un hesitatingly pledged “his ilear protective Georgia,” to the Lowell capitalists. But the rugged-browed Democracy scorned to sanction the fraudulent transfer, and re sponded by the October elections. Be hold! like the winged Mercury, the mes senger, not of the gods, but the god-like, he flew upon the wings ol steam to re deem his plighted troth in time for the ides of November. But alas and alack aday! bred in courts he was no Bluchcr. tie could not even wheel his own men into line, much less make an impression npon the bristling, impregnable, and un conquerable columns of Democracy. No Part in the great drama about to be per formed could lie fill, save that of a Grou chy. The old French traitor never reach ed the field ; and his civil counterpart ar rived only to behold the disasters of a Waterloo delbat. Disbanded troops, rout ed Whigs, the field strewed with black Cr >ckatlcs, greeted the astonished vision ot die dismayed Civilian. But as he did not find it convenient to he there in time to join in the fight, his pliable system of ethics could start no ob jection to his joining in the rout. Soclap ping spurs to his already jaded steed, and •ailing pell-mell into the crowd of his re peating friends, forgetting alike his sena lorial robes, his age, his cause, and even Lowell girl*, with a sort of Tam O - fshantrr ‘devil lake the lirnilennost’ fur} - , he took no heed nor respite until he drew up pale, way-worn and exhausted, in the deep sand-beds of his beloved Savannah. Dulcc ct decorum est pro jmtria mori ,” old tlaccus sung! But as our courtly Senator concurred more in ISI2 with the old poet’s acts than his sentiments; so in 1844. with glorious old Jack Falsiaff, ol mellow memory, he would much rather ‘ empty a pit of sack,’ than flesh his mai-! den sword in an English rod-coat or a bearded Mexican. Our grave and polished civilian evi dently had a penchant for the Court of St. James, and burned to prostrate him self in homage before her illustrious high ness whose interests for the last twelve months appear to have been made the special charge of himself, Webster, Ad ams, ct id fanne genus But bis disposition to cringe before foreign monarchs, (as he has often “CrookM the pregnant hinges of the knee, \\ here thrift might follow tawning,” on this side of the big waters) will never be gratified at the nationtd expense. He i will never snuff the grateful savors of the reeking beef-steaks of John Bull, nor will the purple vintage of la belle France melt upon Itis palate. And at. home, too, by serving a man rather than his country, he has lost sight of the ermine which will now adorn the shoulders of others who have more of the Bom an about them. And wliat has caused this lamentable j reverse in t lie political destiny of John Mac pherson Berrien? Ambition! that sought to accomplish its aim* by the most recre ant sacrifice of principle and shameless desertion of the South. After having abandoned the long cherished doctrines of State Rights—retracted I lie principles contained in his celebrated free Trade Report —advocated a tariff' “not for inci dental or accidental, but direct protec tion,” adopted the whole tenets of the federal party —In' has in the blind puisuit , | of office, merged the dignity of the Sen ator into lb • servility of the sycophant.— 1 And after discovering, when too late for the accomplishment of his insidious pur-*i poses, that Georgia could be neither be'j betrayed or seduce 1, as a dernier resort, and with the recklessness of a desperate] and hopeless factionist, he issues his fa mous Birney circular, and charges a co alition between the Democratic party and the Abolitionists! This was the crowning act of his auda city. The Roman Senate could not have been more surprised when Cataline stalk ed rff'rinafa audacia into their presence, fresh ft mu the scene of his conspiracies, than were the people of the South when the Georgia Senator and his confederates discharged these missiles upon us. That he, who through the past summer had been licking the dust from Webster’s heels—sitting beneath the folds of aboli tion banners —hand in hand with Cassius M. Clnv—clasped in the flinty embrace of John Quincy Adams—pledging the vas salage of the State to Appleton Lawrence, Sec.., should return to Georgia reeking with the fumes of federalism, abolilton sim, and treachery, and dare to charge the freeborn republicans of our glorious State, with supporting a man and party who had sold the Smith to Birney for a mess of pottage! If there is any thing blacker than the charge, it must be the foul heart from whence it sprung. The people of Gemgia hold in undying con tempt the man who promulgated it; and resent with deep indignation an act so atrocious, an outrage upon their feelings so unequalled, and a defamation upon their political and moral character so un paralleled. But for this the waters of Lethe might have rolled over his past errors and buri ed them forever beneath its oblivious waves. Men can forget an injury, but an insult never. He might, regardless of the sovereign wishes of the people, have re sisted their will, betrayed their interests, aided in the continuance of art exorbitant tariff, desecrated the Constitution, aban doned Texas to a foreign power —and his j acts been attributed to the reckless aspir ing and misdirected ambition of an un scrupulous partisan. But having been jguilty of circulating, under his printed ' signature, base slanders upon a free peo j ~le, which lie knew to be untrue at the I time they were issued, “His name— his human name —to every eye The climax of all acorn shall hang on high, Exalted o’er his less ahhorr’d compeers, And festering in the infamy of years!'’ (£7*Look on the first page, and if your heart can be touched by the genuine pa thos of poetry, it will overflow while you read the translation of an ancient Spanish poem, extracted from the Edinburgh Re view. It is surpassingly beautiful ! Unnumbered suitors crowd preferment’s gate, Athirst for wealth and burning in be great — Delusive fortune hears the incessant call— They mount, they shine, evaporate and fall! Sam. Johnson. We fear that there will he rather an undignified scramble for Uncle Sam’s pas try now that the larder is open. Should Mr. Tyler make any removals we sincere ly hope that the most worthy, capable, and honest will be chosen to supply the vacancies. We are rather under the impression, however, that he will feel some delicacy in making any further appointments, un less to filfvacancies occasioned by resig nation, or to remove some notoriously un worthy incumbent. “Hope deferred ma keth the heart sick," especially in the way of Executive patronage. But of the host of applicants many are destined to disap pointment. AH, however, should be sat isfied, for in filling up the innumerable subordinate offices, neither the President or his cabinet can scrupulously weigh the claims ot each individual name presented. Os one thing, however, we feel assured, no good democrat now in office will lie removed unless for incapability. There will be decapitated a few pseudo Tyler men, now and then a wolf in sheep’s cloth ing, and all sycophants and time-servers. PRCSIOC.VTI IL ELECTION.

It is the pro duction of a mind rich in the lore of mod ern and ancient learning; and is full of ! encouraging and uselul advice. He delivered it before the Manchester Alhcnanirn, an institution adapted to call forth the native talent of England. Why do not the young men of America emulate such tut example ? Wc have latent talent 'in this city that needs only development to be admired anti honored. And such an institution might lie so devised as to combine the energies and the. genius of both sexes, and render it a most efficient: ] agent in promoting the social and intellec-l lual pleasures of our citizens. TVEEK. Os all the great men in this Republic who have been for a time apparently borne down by faction, none have reboun ded from the depression into the full con fidence of the American people with such renewed vigor, popularity, and strength as John Tyler of Virginia. He may br aptly termed the Nestor of the Democratic party. The salvation of the country tlius far from the misrule of a reckless and corrupt congressional major ity is attributed solely to bis viitue, his courage, and statesmanship, lie was not cajoled by the deceitful blandishments of the whigs, awed by the fierce denuncia tions of Mr. Clay, (that modern Rienzi of the Republic) thwarted by that Western bison, Tom Benton, rtor lured from a rigid adherence to the Catholic doctrines of 98 by the dazzling projets of measures, calcu lated, it is true, to throw a lustrous blaze around bis administration, but which would have been ultimately productive of the most disastrous results. Never was a government administered more faithful ly, nor upon safer and more “proper prin ciples." lie has fulfilled the dying injunc tions of Gen. Harrison, he has responded to the wishes of an existatit people. His administration has been distinguish ed by moral firmness, characterized by untiring vigilance, and elevated by an en lightened and generous policy. 07= Our friend C. A.

By order of the DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CO.V.MITEE. Macon, Nov. 20th, 1544. DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL. MEETING. Pursuant to previous notice, the Dem ocrats of Upson county assembled at the Court-house in Thomaston, on Monday, the 1 Slli inst., for the purpose of making arrangements to celebrate their great Pre sidential triumph, which lias thrown such a halo of imperishable glory around the immutable principles of free government. On motion of John J. Cary, Esq. the Hon. Wms. F. Jackson was called to the chair, and on motion of Charles W. Moore, W. J. Perdue was appointed Secretary. John E. Kean then moved that Messrs. J. J. Cary, 11. B. Mabry, and J. W. W. Drake be appointed a committee to draught res olutions expressive of the view's of this meeting, and to make suitable arrange ments to celebrate the election of J AMES K. Polk and GEORGE M. DALLAS to the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States. The committee, after retiring, returned and presented the following preamble and resolutions, which were received with the most cheering applause, and unanimously adopted : 'fhe democracy of Upson county, with no ordinary feelings of exultation, con gratulated the people of this wide-spread and mighty republic, upon the brilliant re sult of the great struggle through which ; they have so triumphantly passed—they 1 have achieved a great and exemplary vic tory, in which Georgia, one of the Old Thirteen, has largely and patriotically par ticipated. It is a victory of truth and principle over error and fatuity, by which the purity and strength of our noble in stitutions have been illustriously tested, and like gold, twice tried, have flashed from the crucible more pure and splendid , than ever. Before its overwhelming light the dark spirit of Abolitionism is struck blind, anil the despot of Consolidation fears ; and trembles. Never have the people, since the ibrtnation of our Constitution, achieved such a moral triumph, or exhibi ted such a sublime spectacle of public] virtue. It will illuminate the annals ol our country in after ages, and emblazon the temple of liberty with the undying maxim that the people arc capable of self-gov ernment, for Hod is with them ! Let us, then, fellow Democrats, use this great victory “ as not abusing it,” and return thanks to Heaven for its divine interposition—for if the hand of HIM who “rides upon the clouds” shapes and fashions the ways of the world, it has been most conspicuously displayed in the consummation of the il lustrious Event for which we now rejoice with joy unspeakable. Asa moral and religious people then, it becomes us in humble and grateful adoration to bow our hearts before his mighty throne, and hail him as the patriot’s God. Texas, too, when she first hears the glorious shout that relieves her from mena ced thraldom, will echo the loud note of j salvation until it ascends far above the summit of the ltocky mountains, and pier ces the blue vault of approving Heaven. Her lone and lovely star which has been almost shorn of its beams, will then burst forth with redoubled splendor, and pene trating the princely hulls of the Montezu mas, its heavenly light will strike to the earth the usurper who would have quench ed its holy effulgence in the gloomy gulf of Despotism. Resolved then, In view of these great and soul-stirring events, it liecomes us as a free, virtuous, and independent people, to rejoice and pour forth our gratitude for the great political blessings which this signal ascendancy of correct principles is so well calculated to promote and consum mate. We, therefore, hail the election of JAMES K. POLK and GEORGE M. DALLAS to the Presidency and Viec- L’residency of these United Slates as a moral, political, and ccnstitulional victory that will prove more important in its re sults and more permanent in its beneficial influences upon the religious and civic in stitutions, and U|x>n the foreign and do mestic character of our government, than even the splendid resolution of ISOO, which prostrated the old Federal dynasty, put an end to the American reign of Ter ror, and established upon its ruins the de mocratic doctrines and pure principles of their great founder, the illustrious Jeffer- son. Resolved, That we look upon the great mass of the whigs in the state of Georgia as well meaning, patriotic, but misguided men, who have been deluded by their loa ders for the sole purpose of aggrandizing themselves, even at the sacrifice of the best interests ol the South. To that great mass, then, we tender tire heart and hand of fraternal fellowship, in full confidence that the time is not distant when they will zealously unite with the democracy of the country in driving from our councils the men who have so flagrantly deceived them and abused their confidence and support. Resolved, Thatthe charge against James K. Polk of having formed a coalition with lire Abolitionists, which was made by John McPherson Berrien and his colabo rators on the eve of our recent elections, was altogether gratuitous and dishonora ble, anil intended to subserve the worst ami basest purpose—the premeditated j purpose of deceiving the people, and tna- j king them the degraded victims of a de- j ccption, which, it successful, would have cxalted to the Presidency a man whose whole political course has been glaringly adverse to the vital interests of the South.! It therefore becomes our painful duty to denounce John McPherson Berrien as a degraded Senator of the U. States, who has dishonored and prostituted the dignity of his high office for the vilest of party] purposes, in charging upon James K. Polk the formation of an infamous coalition, which he, the said John McPherson Ber tier., was himself, traitorously endeavor ing to effect, during the whole of the last summer, by personally and publicly can vassing for Whig votes in tbc Northern and Eastern Stales of tbc Union, having deserted his own State for the purpose of accomplishing his faithless and unholy ob- j* ct. Resolved finally, That the democrats of Upson county hold a festival in the village of Thomaston on the first Wednesday in December proximo, for the purpose of cel ebrating in a mariner suitable to the high and momentous occasion, the election of James K. T'olk and George M. Dallas to the Presidency and N ice Presidency of the U. States, and that a committee of nine be appointed by the chair to make such arrangements as are called lor by the dig nity and importance of an event which has delivered us from the fangs of a con solidated government, and which can only find a parallel in the immortal declaration ;of independence. [The following gentle men were appointed under this resolution: Messrs. Chailes W. Moore, Arthur Mat thews, Id. B. Mabry, J. W. Drake, Levi Dickerson, John Sterling, L. IV. Paine, John N. NVebb, and VViliis McMullen.] Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Telegraph ; and Republic of Macon, and that other democratic papers be requested to copy. J. J. Cary, Esq. accompanied the read ing of the preamble and resolutions in a brief and excellent speech, in which he most eloquently exhorted the democrats to a decent and tender regard for the feel ings of their vanquished adversaries, and to temper their exultations with tnodera jtion and dignity. He alluded in a very pertinent ami forcible manner to the illib eral and unmanly charge made against a progenitor of Mr. I’olk’s for she purpose of dopreciating his claim to popular favor, and very felicitously said that his trans cendent triumph beautifully illustrated the lines of the poet, “Honor ami shame from no condition risi— Act well your part — there, all the honor lies.” His speech, which exhibited throughout it magnanimous spirit of forbearance, hon orable alike to his head and heart, was in terrupted with frequent bursts of admira tion and applause.
