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!'’

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 !

Athirst for wealth and burning in be great —

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.

Alabama. —This proud and high spir

South, lias never bowed at the feet of
Baal—she has given the Democratic tick
et a triumphant majority.
Indiana.— This gallant young State has
acted most nobly. Polk and Dallas have
a majority of 1000 to 2000.
Mississippi. —The Democratic ticket
has swept every thing before it, in this
State. Federalism, like drift wood upon
the irresistible current of her mighty riv

Polk’s majority will be 0,000 to 8,000.
Arkansas. —We have only a few re
turns from this State, sufficient to show,
however, that her vote will be cast for
Polk and Dallas.
Vernont. —This Stale has never vdted
for a republican President, and of course
could not vote for Polk. The Whigs have
it by a majority of SOOO.
Delaware. —This little State still glo

States that voted against General Wash

federalism. The whigs have the State by
a small majority.
Massachusetts. —She is where she

majority of 10 to 15,000.
Michigan. —Polk and Dallas have a
majority in every county in the Peninsular

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.

The members of the Democratic party

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.
