THE REPUBLIC. • <ioverunie.it derives its Just powers, liolfroin the au thority df ItOlers, but from the consent of the Governed ” mTcoF, \<>l EMBER •*;. 1844. ff?” The 11 Republic ” will hereafter be issued regularly on every Wednesday mor ning. We have adopted that day for die publication of our paper; to suit the con venience of our Advertising patrons, and to chime in with the “Mail Arrangements. IH BMC DEHOYSTRATIOVS. We observe in the Athens Banner, the Augusta Constitutionalist, and other pa pers, that public meetings have been held for the purpose of passing gratulatory res olutions on the achievement of the recent constitutional victory of the Democratic party. The auspicious results of the late political contest authorize such demon strations; and none have joined in the Te Deum with more heartfelt gratitude than the writer. But as a Republican of the Jeffersonian school, we dissent from one of the resolu tions tidopted at the meetings to which we refer. We allude to that one which pro vides for the appointment of a committee to invite Mr. Polk to pass through Geor gia en route to Washington City. Triumphal processions are not the legi timate insignia of Republic s. And such would be the result were Mr. Polk to ac cept the invitation. There could be' no impropriety in the manifestations of pub lic rejoicings in the cities through which lie would necessarily have to pass as he journeyed to the Capitol—they, indeed, could not be restrained—there would he a natural outburst oi feeling incident to the occasion—a homage rendered to the exec utive ol’the nation and not to the head of a party. Hut how different would it he were he to conclude to puss down the Mississippi, visit New Orleans, and from thence touch tu every important city between that place and Washington. Though he might leave home with only one or two friends, he would land in Washington with live han dled courtiers. But to speak the pure, unadulterated Anglo Saxon, that which might have been the spontaneous ebulli tion of patriotism, would in the end degen erate into the venal adulation of'office-seekers. Mr. Cla}' has a taste for these things.— Uc has breathed die atmosphere ofC mrts, and been imbued With the taste and /mbits til princes. And lie would have surroun ded himself with men of enormous wealth, brilliant, attainments, and far-reaching ambition. The jmhii p ttn«i splendm - oft he Jhiketii Buckingham would have delight ed him* The man that scorned the na tional feelings would have sought to imi tate England in other manors than her re- Sliietive jtolieV. It we tightly Understand Atr. Polk’s character it presents a marked difference. With l he urbanity of a gentleman lie unites the plainness of a Republican. His iuteb Icclual faculties are as sound and justly balanced as the political tenets whir h be liasadoptedt There is nothing brilliant or showy in either—but both solid * practi cal, and useful. They tire not the Corin thian pillars and fluted columns that adorn rind beautify the edifice, hut the unyield ing, indestructible granite blocks that con stitute the foundation. He is ti safe mall. — And this term includes every qualification necessary to make a good President. For these reasons we feel assured that fie will decline the invitations of his polit ical liiends. He must perceive at a glance that they would lie anti-Demoeratie in their tendency. The glorious predomi nance til democratic principles is sufficient to rejoice the hearts ol a people who have struggled so nobly for their mainte nance, He veil: soon be constitutionally induc ted into office ; and from that rnotnenl lie becomes the* representative of 1 lie whole and not the instrument of a party. And all that we have a right to desire or expect is that he will rigidly adhere to tlife political principles in which we believe him to ho thoroughly indoctrinated. — they will have felerence to the develop ment of measures, not the promotion of men or the gratification of a faction- Though the federal head of the nation, he is the seiVant of the people. And lie will, no doubt, recommend to Congress the adop tion of such measures as will afford the greatest good to the greatest number. Alter the expiration of his term of office and in an official capacity, we should be glad to see him return to the good okl ex ample set by Gen. Washinglon, of visiting his friends in the different States to ex change gratulations and tender in person the gratitude lie no doubt feels lor the hon or tiiey have conferred upon him. Should that time arrive and bis admin istration terminate happily lor the ad vancement, prosperity and conservation of our Union, we should rejoice to join in the universal acclamation that would go up frotn the fountain of all political power,. “Well done thou good and faithful ser vant !” POLITICAL METE3IPSVCHOSIS. The New York Weekly News things 'hat the Pythagorean doctrine of the trans migration of souls might he well adapted m the whig party of the present day.— f'hey are certainly fond of variety. They veritably believe that a rose will smell as sweet under any other name. W higs, lfepublieans, Jeffersonian Republicans, Native American, and American Repub lican ! bless them, how they transmigrate. They travel so fast over the political cata l"gue that the “ wee bit todlers” will nev ‘‘r learn their papas’politics. Dunder & Iffitzen Webster will smash the Republic into a dish of chowder with his ruitivenm. — " here shall tec go ? COTTOA PLASTERS. Interesting Movement. —We learn ' that a public meeting of the planters oi Houston county, is contemplated for the purpose ol taking into consideration the policy oi curtailing, in a measure, the en ormous quant;ty of lands that have been 1 for years devoted to the cultivation of our great staple. The policy of the measure is apparent; the mams ot consummating this important reformation, however, is a matter of grave consideration. How is the public mind to be so impressed with the necessity of reducing the quantity of lands now appropriated to the cultivation of cotton, so that by a consentaneous action upon tbe part of the Southern people, ibis measure may be accomplished within a given time? Shall it be an abrupt revo lution in the agricultural system of the South, or a gradual reformation? Ihe vast extent of country in which cotton now constitutes the main staple, forbid the hopes ot any sudden transition from the cultivation of One product to that of another; we must therefore rely upon accomplishing this interesting object by arousing the attention of the planters, eli citing discussion, calling public meetings, forming agricultural societies and devel oping as far as possible tbe immense ad vantages that would inevitably accrue to (be country by divertingu considerable por tion of the capital now invested in cotton planting to grain growing, stock raising,&c. In a conversation held with an intelli gent Florida planter, a few days past, he informed us that the cultivation of tobacco had recently excited the most absorbing intention in that territory. That the pro duction was already considerable, and that in a few years it was destined to be come their chief article of export. It was found highly profitable to cultivate it at twenty-four cents per pound, and that; whole crops were frequently engaged at flirty cents the pound. The lands of .'■'oulli Western Georgia are equally adapt ed to the culture of tobacco, and the ex- 1 perimerit worthy of trial. There arc ex tensive tracts of apparently worthless pi it f deserts in lower Georgia, that at some fit-; turn day will yield millions to the Saxon wool growers of Europe. From experi ments recently made in Alabama, there is no invest m< nt that, yields a larger or surer ; per cent than woo! growing; and it is most astonishing that the Wealthy planters of Georgia have not devoted more atten tion to this subject. Houston lias many gentlemen of wealth j and intelligence engaged in planting; and | we await with interest to see the effects 1 of their first move in this important agri cultural reformation. THE SEAT «F GOVERNMENT. The subject connected with the remo val of the sent of government from Mil ledgeville is daily becoming a matter of general interest and discussion. Nothing can prevent the passage of resolutions to that eflect tit the next session of tbe Le gislature unless it be tbe extravagant ex penditures Vested in the “ Governor’s re sidence.” The “ Lunatic Asylum” would be no hindrance to the measured-fir that insti tution could remain where it now is and he conducted without embarrassing tbe Government. It is not, tee hope, a neces sary accompaniment oft he Legislature. Our attention has been directed to this subject both by residents and non-residents of this city—gentlemen exercising no lit tle iuHuenee in (he Cherokee have expres sed a warm interest in it, while othexs from South Western Georgia are its de termined advocates, The question first to be decided is— Shall the Capitol fie removed from Mil ledgeville? If this be decided in the af firmative, tbe absorbing question then ari ses, what point will be tbe most eligible location for the Capitol of Georgia? The sooner, if ever a removal is defer* mined on, the better. All concur in the fact that Milfedgcville is not a very agree able location, nor very convenient of ac cess. The town is old,- dilapidated,- arid presents a most sombre appearance—and the capital, a tinge, ungainly gothic pile, that in a series oi years will consume more in its repairs than would be required to build a commodious and pleasant State House. If it continues habitable for five years longer, it will require from three to five yeafs to erect ami complete the usual buildings necessary for State purposes; and in the meantime the legislature hav ing made the necessary appropriations for the work, might continue its sittings iit Milledgeville until its final completion. Georgia, the pride of the South, assu redly deserves a location for its seat <;1 Government, that while it presented a more imposing appearance, would, at the same time, combine greater advantages than are now enjoyed' af it's present scat’. We intend in a subsequent number pre senting this subject freely and fully to the public mi fill.* THE EELIPSE. The Eclipse that occurred on the 24th inst-, was sublime and beautiful. 'lbis grand and awful astronomical wonder commenced at tlie rise of the Moon; the j first total immersion in the Earth’s shad ow was 24 minutes after 0 ; and the hist total obscuration 57 minutes after 5. The night was clear and beautiful.™ Seldom have wc observed the weather in a better slate for accurate observation.— Although the shadow veiled tbe Moon’s bright face, yet the darkness was not total. Who could witness this sublime specta cle and not feel Within his heart the won drous power of Divinity —he who holds tin universe in the palm of his hands and in a breath could produce that wild, terrible, and awful revolution in the heavenly sys tem, when — ! “Star after star from lieaveu’s high arch shall rush, j Son sink mi sun. ami system system crush, Headlong, extinct, to one dark centre fall, And death and night and chaos mingle all, ’Till o’er llte wreck,emerging from the storm Immortal nature lifts her changeful form ; Mounts from her funeral pyre on wings ol flame ‘ And soars auJL shines another and the same I “THE CALM SUNSIIJNE OF THE HEART.” Even the most heated partisan must re joice that the political tempest has past, and given room to the quiet reflection and ! sober enjoyment of retired and peaceful life. True the moral, as well as the poli tical elements have been disturbed—but ;tlie same results have been produced as those which follows the blast of the torna do. In the one t lie natural world is puri fied by the storm driving before it the lazy elements that would otherwise have stag nated into a pestilence; In the other the moral vvrtrld is quickened into a lively sentiment of the portentous evils that are threatened the country, bv the Storrhy pas sions of the multitude breaking over the embankments of reason and plunging into the wild excess of party excitement. But 1 hat very excess hastens the reaction, and tends to create a more wholesome and ge nial influence upon the public mind. It is pleasant even for those who live out of the pale of the Christian Church—it is delightful even to tlie man of Sin, to j know that while the political tempest drowned the Republic in uproar, that the “Still small voice, ” like the holy music of an angel’s whisper, still sent its enraptu ring notes to cheer the heart ot the waytar er, to light the way of desponding philan thropy, and rekindle the fire upon the al tars of Christian love. These remarks have been elicited by the following interesting extract: INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. Some years since, a Tract visitor left a few of his silent messengers of truth on hoard a vessel from a distant State. One ofthe sailors took them home and read them to his neighbors; a general interest ; was in consequence awakened on the subject of re i ligion, and of intellectual and moral improvement. I Until then there was no church in that vicinity, and all nrotind was a moral waste; hot from that time jthere has been an entire change in the character and habits of t lie people; so that the whole region in its agricultural, m -chanical, and intellectual, as well as religious and moral aspects, exhibits a ren ovated apnea ranee. Cmtrfih amt School houses have been built; private dwellings have been impro ved and multiplied; the order oi families lias been restored; and children are receiving daily instruc tion ri'Mthool; tie gospel is statedly preached to ■ lifrge and attentive congregations'; and nearly all the neighborhood, lom orly characterized for intem pera nee. are now slticl observers ol the total absti nence pledge. But tor the b'eneVoleht efforts of this one individual,* shat whole legion, instead of sending up morning ami evening a cloud of grate ■ ful incense from consecrated domesticaltars, instead of smiling amid tiie blessings of virtue, intelligence, and general thrift, might have remained to t his day a region of ignorance and vice, insulting Heaven with profane mirthaud beastly intemperance. Sim ilar changes have been wrought in multitudes of ! places tin ughout the country, by the individual ef forts of humble self denying men and generous fe -1 males, who, taking a lew tracts or papers in hand as their letters of introduction, have gone: forth to converse with their neighbors and fellow-beings, and to arouse them to a proper sense of their dig nity as freemen, and of llteir highest interests as heirs of immortality. The Tract enterprise of Nett York city, kept in motion by individual effort, is exerting, silently, an incalculable amount of saving and redeeming influ ence. With its twelve city Missionaries, and ele ven hundred gratuitously employed distributors, it reaches ttie entire population. ft especially sear ches out tlte abodes of ignoiance and extreme po verty, and vice; while it pays its monthly % visits to the refined, thus reminding them that there is a great work of charity going on in which I key may take a part. This is one of the most efficient, if not almost the only possible means of elevating the threat mass ofthe idle, intemperate , and piofane; who depend upon the wages of unrighteousness or the charities ofthe virtuous, lot a precarious and scanty subsistence. Ilaimsat nothing loss titan making them sober, intelligent,and useful citizens, for tiiiiT world and the future; for every faithful dis tributor considers himself, not merely a carrier, hut a IViend, a kind adviser, and to the extent ofhis a b lily aid opportunity, in a sense, a preacher if righteousness, to those whom the tract or paper, or volume, introduces him. The tract distributor thus sets an example of individual effort, which ntav be well imitated fur the advancement of any good and great cause. By denying himself some iif the ease or entertainment which others enjoy in I heir leisure hours, he is doing a work which merits the grateful acknowledgements of'.lie community, which contributes essentially to save the city and the nation, and which cannot fail of a rich reward in )he approbation of his own conscience, and in the benignant smiles of Heaven. He convinces the poorest and llte most degraded, that there are some that yet care for them; and especially that there is one higher than the highest, who “hath pi t* oft the poor.” He goes to the cellar of wretch edness, and hv timely encouragement and advice, he dispels tlie gloom of despondency, and inspires with new hope, and new resolution to effiirt. He Carries hrs little messenger to the abodes of vice : he has no occasion to prove there, that “the way of transgressors is hard;” lor they feel it to he such. But words of truth and kindness have not lost their charm even there; ami many a one is persuaded hv his gi-ntle admonitions to I'msake the paths of the destroyer. He leads the wandering leet of urtin *t rutted childhood to the door ofthe .Sabbath school, and the Day school; he persuades the intemperate IP' forsake hiss cuptf, and with his daily earnings to relieve the miseries of his starving little ones, and to exchange his rags for cleanly, decent apparel; he persuades him to he a man. He relieves the necessities ofthe sick; he i- a IViend to the destitute orphan; and speaks words of Consolation and hope to the dvinj?. The last great day alone, wfll re veal the l\i|l amount of good resulting from such like individual efforts, But much of the good, if not grand results, of this and kindred enterprises, may be seen here, in the increased comfort, intelli gence and thrift of individuals mid families—in the greater security of property, character, and life— and rn the promise of safety, perpetuity, and aug menting prosperity to ail our free institutions. Who then that hasa sphrk of patriotism nr philanthropy, who that loves his neighbor, his children',diis doun Irv his God, —disclaiming selfishness, indolence or inglorious ease, —will not soberly ask himself, what good can ! accomplish,' by individual effort ? A. D. THE POOR M AN S ENEMY. These whigs seetn to think that no body take their toddies but the poor man.— Strong drink certainly is an enemy to health and fortune —but a ginsling is decidedly rich of a biting cold day, if he would nev er pull at it on other occasions. Modera tion is the thing. Now while these whig aristocrats are warning us poor devils of Tam O’Shanter’s failing, let ’em shell out to the destitute and unfortunate a part of the money they invest irt the costly Sherry, Madeira, Fort, Cogniac, See., See. that are covered up in cobwebs in their* cellars.— Just see with what nonchalance they talk to the “rot-gut boys.” The Poor Man’s Enemy.— There has been a diversity ofopinion on fire question whether Mr. Clay or Mr. Folk is the best friend to the poor man. Some light will be thrown on this question by future ex perience. But the poor man has one un doubted enemy —strong drink. That lire ; has of late become more active and fierce. Wc hear from several quarters that iutem * perance is rather gaining ground. The intelligent should rouse the friends of hu manity. The Temperance effort should receive anew impulse. Its fundamental principles is incontestable, and its advo cates are theres- .re provided with sufficient weapons.— Phil. Gazette. THE EQUESTRIAN CORPS. Clayton & Burrow’s Equestrian Corps are now in the full tide of success ful perforlfiance under ihelr magnificent pavilion. The “grand entree” entitled the Court of Queen Elizabeth, is imposing arid beau tiful. Mrs. Nixon, a young arid beautiful woman, rides in fine style, and appears admirably in the performance; fc?he is most certainly the delight of the circle— and Iter horse Selim as fine and well trained a steed, and with as much fire as the Selim that sergeant McDonald tricked out of the old lory.

This band would laugh tqore happiness into tlietri than the Whole grand borps of abolitionists could preach out of them in ten years. Cjr’We have received two numbers of Art hur’s Ladies’ Magazine, a well conduc ted rind ably edited periodical, published in Philadelphia. T. S. Arthur, the editor, is a popular and agreeable writer him Sell, and is supported bj 7 a list of able contrib utors* His terms are such that the head of al most every Southern family could sub scribe for it, without missing the expendi- t u re. Every thing in the South, however, must be ministered to in preference to the head. Intellectual pleasure ? Bah! Voting Democracy versus The old Hunkers. JVe perceive that the Democratic Young Men’s Committee who operated so effectu ally previous to the defeat of Mr. Van Bu ren’s nomination at Baltimore; and in some degree brought about the nomination !<»f Mr. Folk, are again busy giving their | views on the recent election hi this city, and charging upon the old hunkers a Wish to defeat Mr. Folk’s election, in conse quence of the discrepancy between the vote for him arid that for Silas Wright in this State. This view ofthe matter has given great offence to the Evening Post; and that particular clique who attempted previous to the hist election to gel up a movement that might have thrown the whole State into disorder, This is the commencement of tbe social war itt the ranks ofthe Democratic party, the “yoririg Democracy” on otic side and the “old hun kers” on the other, which lias broken out simultaneously in Washington and New York, and will no doubt soon spread all over the country. John C. Calhoun is tfie Mrignus Apollo ofthe “young Demo cracy,” and Nilas Wright of the “old Hun kers.” American Notes for Englishmen. —Extract from a letter received by a merchant in this city from a friend in Staffordshire, Eng “f wish you would serrd me tire articles named below, at your earliest conveyance.
