prompt and immediate action on the sub ject of Annexation :—By adopting that measure, tlie United estates will be in the exercise of an undoubted right ;and if Mex ico, not regarding that forbearance, shall aggrevate the injustice of her conduct by a declaration of war against them, upon her head will rest all the responsibility. JOHN TYLER. Washington City, Dec. 1!), 1844. “the republic ••Government derives its just powers, not from the au thority of Kulerj, but from the consent of the Governed ” MACON, JAM Ain 1, 1545. THE BIRTH OF A NEW YEAR. Like human life, the vacuum of the past year is tilled up by the birth of the new. The obituary of 1544, is written, and this morning, in a bumping egg-nog we chris tened 1545. What joys or what woes 1845 lias in store for us, this deponent saith not. But verily so far the j'oung infant has not smi led very heavenly upon us. Our friends, our crediting friends , are as usual, kind, considerate and attentive. Long bills, tall bills, short bills, spoon bills, all sorts <f bills! and, to be candid, every one of them true bills pour in upon us like the ‘rush of’ a mill-tail! If it be easy to empty the head of an editor, of ideas, how much easier the task to empty his pockets of funds. Pshaw! why dignify small change with the name of funds? — The term means capital, stock, money lent to government, constituting a nation al debt, &c. &e. Now by constant delv iog into the lore of ancient and modern writers, we some day or oilier expect to ac«]uiie a capital stack of ideas, never do we expect to accumulate a capital stock of funds—([/“unless the patrons of the ‘Republic’ should ‘wax fat and kick.’ In that event we have no doubt they will ‘come up to the scratch’ and plank up the * shiners,’ like Washington Irving’s old English farmer Ileady-money Jack. Appropos! Speaking of farmers though we may boast of many enlighten ed and liberal of that class resident in (Jeorgin, vve have also lots that are ignor ant, close-fisted, thrip-and-lia’penny cur mudgeons, the unworthy recipients of Done Nature’s prodigal gilts—upon whom a kind Providence has lavished every blessing, whose minds never lor one in stant expanded beyond the cold and nar row precinct of self —who would not in vest the proceeds ol the sale of three bush els of /teas lor the best periodical publish ed in America who calculates the glo rious results of intellectual culture by dol lars ami cents. The souls of such men are not as ca pacious as a hickory nut hollowed out. In such a tenement there would be abun dant space to contain all they know or teel, and then they might advertise ‘room to let.’ Par example. During the last term ol Houston court the agent of a paper pub lished in Savannah, applied to one of these old * twenty per cents’ to place his name on his subscription list. He owned a fine lurm and worked some ten or fifteen hands. After humming and hawing some tune over the subject, lie finally conclud ed to take the paper, provided the agent would let him have it at the rate of one dollar per annum ! Genius of Scriblerus ! Spirit of one spectacled Chapman what a Shyloek ! But the half is not told. 'i’huL ‘same old coon,’ (reader, ’pou honor, he was a whig) soon alter the above incident occurred, waxed hungry. Well, it was perfectly natural to become hungry, and equally so to desire to appease it. So old twenty per cent thought of the ‘ways and means’ of providing cheap fair. Instead of pa tronising our kind host , who had bounti fully supplied his tabic for court week at considerable expense, he dodges into a shop. ‘Mister,’ says lie, ‘what will you ax me tor as many of them cheese and crack ers as I can eat fin dinner?’ ‘ Thirty-seven anil a half cents,’ repli ed the clerk. ‘ Can’t afford it; cotton’s down—short crop—l did’nl make but forty bales this year, no how. l.’ll give you seveupence tor what will do me.’ ‘Good,’ said the clerk, ‘ help yourself.’ Up stepped the old'alligator ami cutting off about two and a half pounds of Cowles’ best, filling both of' his huge coat pockets with crackers, and taking as many as he could conveniently hold in his hands, he stepped into the hack room to get out ol sight of his neighbors, anil went to work. We could hear him masticating like a cross-cut saw. Shades of Beckwith, De ters, Thomson, anil Biamlrelh —what uu appetite! A gentleman standing by, al ter seeing about two pounds of cheese and three dozen crackers disappear with apparently no diminution ol appetite, kindly suggested ‘ that it might give him tlie belly-ached ‘Belly-ache!’ indignantly replied the old cur, who was rather suspicious that his neighbor’s mouth was watering for some of it, and having a feeling recollec tion that it cost him twelve and a half cents, ‘l’ve eat a steamboat load of it in toy time and never lelt the slightest symp tom! Belly-ache or cholic, i’ll have the worth of my money before I’in done,’ and without another word to grinding he went until the whole concern disappear cd into his capacious stomach. Reader, do you think such bowels ever had any compassion in them. Do you sup pose he will ever become a subsetiber to the New York Mirror ? Wouldn’t he dis burse most poetically on the associations connected with the burial of the past and the advent of the present year! Blessed is the man whose favor, or wealth , or happiness, are not dependent on such materials— who moves in an in telligent and generous circle whose li brary is stored with the hoarded treasures of the past, and the gifted contributors to science and literature of present times who is not compelled to minister to de praved tastes, to flatter ignorant minds, or to solicit a reluctant patronage who could exclaim with the indignant and in dependent poet, “ Oiii profanum vulgus et arceo.” But human life is sadly chequered, and every year renders more uncertain the mystic luture. In its contemplation well might its associations have suggested to Wilde, those beautiful lines which we here present to the reader for the thou sandth and one time; and that, too, with out an apology: HUMAN life. *' Mv life is like tlie summer rose That opens to the morning sky, Soon as the shades of evening cfose, ’Tis scatter'd on tlie ground to die. But on that rose’s humble bed, The softest deivs of night are shed, As if she wept sucli waste to see, Bui who shall weep a tear lor me. “My life is like the autumn leaf That tremhres in the moon’s pale ray; Its hold is frail, its dale is brief, Restless and soon to pass away. But ere that leaf shall lull and lade, The parent tree will mourn its shade ; The winds bewail tlie leafless tree, But who shall ere lament for me. “Mv life is like prints, which feet Have left oil Tampa’s desert strand, Soon as the rising tide shall heat, All trace will vanish from the sand, But as if grieving to efface All vestige of the human race, On that lone shore loud moans the sea, But none shall weep a tear for me.” OURSELVES. We trust that no one will do this Jour nal the gross injustice to construe the cen sure vve have taken the liberiy to express of tlie course of Senator Benton and oth er prominent members of the Democratic party, on the great question of Annexation, as the result of any unkind feelings per sonally, towards any member of the great Republican party of the country. W r e have animadverted upon the course of the Missouri Senator, and that portion of tlie Democratic paity whose oracle lie is, because we have regarded it as disorgan ising in its tendency, destitute of patriot ism, and iu.?r|y selfish in its aims. We consider the implacable obstinacy of Col. Benton and his followers, in still opposing a measure contrary to the almost unani mous sentiment of the Republican party of the country, anil at the obvious risk of breaking it up, as demagoguieal, unpatri otic, and contemptible in the extreme. We consider his course as anti demo cratic, because he refuses by his opposi tion to the annexation of Texas to spread wider and w ider the circle of free insti tutions, anil opposes the dawn of that glorious day spring when liberal political principles and regulated governmentsliall dispense their blessings to every dweller ou American soil. We are opposed to the course of Col. Benton because the people have decided that Texas ought to be annexed note, im mediately, without tlie assent of Mexico or any other power but that of Texas her ; sell'. We are opposed to the course of C.. 1. Benton and his followers because it is in violation of tlie pledges of our party, and jut war with the views of Gov. Polk, ex pressed clearly and fully in his Texas letter, upon which the issue was made beliire die country and decided upon by the people. We are opposed to him because his course on this as well as another absorb ing national question, clearly proves that his own advancement is a lar higher con sideration with him than his country’s honor. He has shown by his selfish course on these great questions that Cataline like, to accomplish ids own aggrandisement he is ready to plot a diabolical conspiracy against the institutions of Lis country, and madly and impiously to plunge the dagger into the heart of the Republic lor whose interest and honor lie at one lime gave evidence of the most shining devo tion. It is for this that we have opposed and will continue to oppose him or any one else that will put his own personal views, or those of a faction, in the scale against the wishes of the people. For vve believe that a large majority of the democratic party’ value there principles far higher | than they do the personal advancement of Mr. Benton, or any one else. And : however much political trimmers may be disposed to gentle emollients for the cure or removal of such sores from the party, vve confess that vve incline en tirely to the belief that the best remedy is found in the instant application of the knife. Mlt. CALHOUN’S LETTER TO MR. KING. We publish to-day the able letter of Mr. Calhoun to Mr. King, our Minister at the Fretich Court, on the subject of our Foreign relations. It is like every thing Mr. Calhoun has ever written—dignified, able, and thoroughly American in its tone, and should be read by every man, wo man and child in the country, and handed down for the study of their children and their children’s children to the latest time. Let it be read at least by every one in whose veins courses the warm current of the Soulhron’s blood! The profound wisdom, enlightened patriotism, and vast experience of Mr. Calhoun, are stamped in colors of light qpoti every line in the letter; and we. venture to say that if his advice in every particular meets with the response it deserves from his countrymen, it will be felt and acknowledged with gra titude long after we shall all have passed from the earth. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE MEXICO, Ac. In our columns to-day will be found President Tyler’s message transmitted lo both Houses of Congress on the 20th ult., upon the subject of our present relations with Mexico. SOUTH CAROLINA. AFFAIRS. ‘‘The Legislature of South Carolina ad journed at 12 o’clock at night on the ISth instant. We are rather disappointed at the tone of their proceedings. What they have done is well done; but wc are rather disappointed that they have not done more. We had hoped that they would have framed a powerful, argumentative memorial to Congress, in opposition to the present oppressive Tariff. Such a measure was calculated to excite the at tention of the whole country; setting forth in hold relief the wrongs of South Caro lina, the whole history of the Compromise Act, the violation of its plighted provis ions, and the insulting treachery which had been perpetrated against her— the appeal would have gone forth, trumpet tongued, to the nation. She has declined, or rather postponed, such proceeding; and she is contented, in a spirit of great moderation, and so far of wisdom, upon the first resolutions of Mr. Pickens, which were adopted by the Senate. These were passed on the last evening of the session, amid some confu sion of parliamentary forms, and selected out of a great multiplicity of projects which had been accumulating upon the table of the House of Representatives during the session. Bui let no man suspect the spirit of the Democracy of South Carolina. They have determined to await the action of the Democratic party who are ‘just in the ascendant,’ in the Federal Govern ment. They have made no threats; they have forborne most properly any recourse to any measure about the ‘physical re ; sources’ of the State, as Gov. Hammond proposed, and they are resolved to appeal again to tlie justice of Congress. Virginia joins South Carolina in this appeal, and neither of them will rest satisfied with the present unequal Tariff.” We republish with great pleasure the above remarks of the venerable Nestor of the Republican party, the editor of the Richmond Enquirer; and joinjiost hear tily in the compliment which he so hand somely pays to the noble Democracy of South Carolina. The laurel will wear well with them, for it has been justly and nobly earned. At the same time we beg to assure our democratic brethren of South Carolina and Virginia, the twin ‘ custodi ans of the republican faith,’ that Georgia too, joins South Carolina and Virginia in this appeal to Congress; and that she, too, ‘ will never rest satisfied with the present unequal Tariff, for whatever interests these chivalrous States, interests us ; nay, it interests all the Southern States, Al abama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina, as well as Georgia vve all claim and are proud to acknowledge a common property in ihe fame of their orators, and the unrival led and lofty patriotism of their states man. Our warmest feelings, social as well as political, are with the people of these Slates; and the common interests and prosperity of their citizens, as well as the preservation of the bright good names both have already acquired, are as dear to us as they are to any of their own citi zens; and whatever course it may be ne cessary to adopt to fulfil the pledges made bv us, of Georgia, in common with our friends in Virginia and South Carolina, during the late Presidential contest, Geor gia will throw herself forward in defence of her principles with a devotion and gal lantry only equalled by the patriotic ardor of the ‘Mother of States,’ and the ‘war rior-virgin Goddess of Republicanism,’ South Carolina. CONGRESS. Mr. Douglass, of Illinois, introduced in the House of Representatives, on ihe 22d, a joint resolution-for the Annexation of Texas to the United States, in conformity with tlie treaty of 1803, for the purchase of Louisiana, which was read the first and second times and referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Weller, of Ohio, has also introdu ced resolutions for the annexation of Texas to the Union. We will publish the reso lutions offered by these gentlemen in our next. Tlie proceedings o‘ Congress during the past week are without much general interest. We give the following corres pondence from the Charleston Mercury, as the best summary of the proceedings of that hotly, since our last: Washington, Dec. 22. The passage, by the House of Repre sentatives, of the bill, “ providing for the collection, suit keeping, transfer and dis bursement of tlie public money,” com monly called the Independent Treasury, may be considered, under all the circum stances, as a great triumph, not only of 1 the democratic party, but of truth and correct principles. It is, moreover, a tri umph lor Mr. Calhoun—as great a tri umph as any statesman ever obtained in such a government as this. Kightyeats ago, in a Democratic House this measure was defeated and lost; now, it passes by a vote of two to one. Eight years ago, Mr. Calhoun, in advocating this measure, declared that the banking system bail failed to answer its purposes, anil could never be employed again in pro moting the objects of the government.— The declaration was then treated as idle or insane, but time has verified it. It is not probable t hat the Whigs of the Senate will concur in this measure ; but it will command every Democratic vote in that body. The Whigs offer no alter ; native to it, and would approve of it as a ’ measure of necessity, were it not for their pride of consistency'. Mr. Evans at the late Session, caused to be introduced into the general appro l piation act, a clause restricting the Secre tary' of the Treasury from changing any iof the depositories. The Secretary did not change them, but increased their num- Jber. It is not probable that any of the public funds have been lost or corruptly used by the Secretary, but he has had uu liiniled power over them, and his enemies have made abundance of charges against him as to the manner in which he has ex ercised this power. At any rate it is gratifying to see a dis position, on tiie part of Congress, to place the public moneys under the control of late, instead of leaving them to the unregulated management of an individual. It seems probable that the surplus rev enue, for some time to come, wiH be large enough to create a scramble—such as we now see—for the advantages to result from its safe-keeping. This is, therefore, a proper time to re-establish the Sub- Treasury. There are interests enough now employed in the support of the Ta riff of surp/usses, without adding to them the powerful aid of the banks and brokers who want to get posscssiou of those sur passes. Perhaps the most important issue that was brought before the people, at the e lection, was this Tariff' of protection and surplus. The people condemned the system ; at least, it was so understood un till Congress met. The moment that this subject was in troduced to the notice of the House, a number of democratic members, repre senting powerful sections of the country, hoisted the banner of ultra protection, and declared a general warfare against every interest that dared to oppose it.— Never, during the whole history of this matter, has the cause of protection been so boldly espoused and zealously defend ed as by this Democratic House ol' Rep resentatives. The guise in which the svstem is now presented is that of “equal protection,” to all interests—that is to say, we will keep what we have got, to make it equal, you may get what you can. That, say the Pennsylvanians, was what the Democracy of the Keystone Stale fought for and won. The Indiana Democrats say they are ready to compro mise the matter, and their first provision is that Pennsylvania shall be required to yield nothing. So ihere is not the slightest prospect at present, that the system of revenue com plained of by the South will be modified or improved. In regard to the annexation of Texas, most of the democrats appear to he iuilit ferent to it. They certainly do not op pose it; but Ido not see the evidences of such a feeling as can lead, at this session, to any definite action. The subject will be brought up and dis cussed in both Houses, and the friends of the measure hope that a proper bill may be brought forward, out of the several projects presented, and passed. Mr. McDuffie’s bill cannot pass the Senate; and Mr. Benton’s would not be accepted by Texas. In short, nothing will be done on this subject at this session. Events may happen, must happen, in the year following this session, that will render Texas averse to annexation. The prize will be lost, unless Mr. Polk should prove to be so sincerely and zealously an advocate of annexation as to hazard an extra session lor it. I do no think myself, there need be any great hazard in it to him or to his party. By so prompt and bold a movement lie would arouse public attention to the subject, and will have the chance which boldness ever has, I of carrying public opinion along with him. Will he risk it—that’s the question. It is ihe only hope for the measure, and know ing that lull well, its enemies will throw all their weight against an Extra Session. SUMMARY.

GOVE, CHAS. COLLINS, .JOHN P. EVANS, ISAAC HOLMES- Macon. HIACOGCL DEMOCRAT. The acquisition lo the editorial corps ol this State of the able and fearless pen of Dr. L. F. W Andrews, must at once give the Journal with which he is connected a high standing with the Democratic party throughout the Slate. The clearness and beauty of his language, as well as the strength and vigor of his style., together with his ardent and unflinching devotion to the principles of the great democratic ! parly of the country, will make the “De mocrat” an able and powerful auxiliary [in the good cause of constitutional de-| mocracy, and we extend to it a cordial! and hearty welcome. 07* We are requested to say that Mark D. Clark is not a candidate for Judge of the Inferior C ourt at the ensuing election Foe the Republic. The W big presses are trying to make capital mil of thelale vole oil Adams’s resolution 10 admit abolition peiitions--charging that ihe Democratic party are responsible Kir the passage of that reso lution. This is most unfair, tor two reasons: firs), because many of both parlies voted in the affirma tive on that question, not because they had any sympathy with the abolitionists, or Adams, (cor dially hating Imlli) bul because some believed the abstract rignt of petition was involved; and others because they believed by maintaining the rule of exclusion of such petitions they would give influ-, ence and power to that wicked traitor Adams and his coadjutors. Hence several southern members voted with iiim in the affirmative. Secondly, It is unfair because no party ought to he held responsible fur the acta of minorities.— Now so far as the two parlieaare concerned touch ing the vote in questioti, il there is any fault at tached to either, it lies at the door of the Whigs; lor of those piesent nearly three to one voted with Adams, while a majority of the democrats voted against the repeal of the rule. But as beliire re marked, the vote upon that question is not a true test of the sentiments of the members upon aboli tion. To ascertain the state of the abolition ques tion, the movements of the masses at the north must be studied, and then it will he found not that either party are untainted with that fatal heresy, but that the Whigs are for more culpa hie than the Democrats, hi what States have hostile acts to ward the South heretofore manifested themselves in the most signal manner? Every candid honest man must answer, “Ihe Whig States.” In the late election Massachusetts gave by lar the largest vote Kir the wliigs of nnv stale in- the Union; and there have been exhibited from time to time tlie most outrageous wrongs toward slave holders. It was reserved lor tlie slates of Massa chusetts, Ohio, and Vermont, alone of all the states to disgrace themselves by passing resolutions in each of their Legislatures, that the annexation of Texas to the confederacy would he a virtual disso lution of the Union ; and that they would no lon ger hold themselves hound by its obligations. From where else but from whigistn could such a ‘sinister plenipotentiary’ as Hoar—Massachu setts’ representative of free negroes, ‘near the court’ of South Carolina, have beeujfonked li,rr— While this same Banner State was making whig hearts rejoice throughout the Union at her fourteen thousand majority lor Clay, her Legislature were not only sending her accredited agents into the south to say to our citizens, authoritatively, that they must henceforth hold themselves no belter than tree negroes! But at this very time of tri umphant whig shouting, and while the mellow tones of orator Berrien congratulating her on her ‘sound and safe principles’ iiad hardly ceased to tcho along her vales, her highest court of judica ture was perpetrating a greater outrage upon the rights of Southern citizens—telling them, in fact, , that not only free negroes, hut their oirn staves also, are their equals! It is well known that since the commencement of the Government, a large number of our bravest ami bi st naval officers have been Southerners, and ! have been permitted always by the Navv Depart ment to take with them into the service their body servants. The same practice has prevailed in the army. It is known that a trusty slave accompan ied General Washington through the whole Rev olutionary war. The highest law officer of Mas sachusetts has decided that this is all wrong. When the Irigate Untied Stales sailed for the Pacific, in 18-12, her purser Fitzgerald, obtained leave of the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Upshur, to lake with him his servant hoy named Lucas. After a cruise in Ihe Pacific slit* was ordered to Boston, where she arrived in October last, and shortly after a writ of habeas corpus was issued to take the bov Lucas from on board the frigate and bring him before Judge Shaw, Chief Justice of Massachusetts, who after argument decided that said boy, by coming within the waters of Massa chusetts, was ipse facto, as free as bis master, and might go where he pleased. How long before we may look lor negro officers in our navy and army commanding white men? If this abominable Massachusetts’ whig doctrine of their equality is to prevail, it cannot be long.— A detailed account of the case of the above judi cial robbery, is given in ihe Boston Law Reporter for December. But to recur to the reception of Abolition peii tions. If the Whig press will lash all without dis tinction who voted with Adams on that question, and not so dishonestly lay the sin to the Democrats alone, I for one will say, 1 Lay on Macduff,’ you cannot hit amiss. This temporising policy—this asking favor and mercy at the hand* of our ene mies is death to the South. Nothing can save us hut a hold defiance, inch by inch at the threshold. The Southern people are accused of being rash and hot tempered ; and yet nothing is farther from the truth. The history of mankind gives no ac count of a more meek and patriotic people. In neighborhoods, if one neighbor were to conclude that the good of his friend dwelling near him, as well as his own duly required that he should in terfere and regulate the domestic affairs of his friend, and should according walk over and say to him, ‘Friend, |s>or sinner that you are, let me ad monish you that it is your duty to manage your liimily differently; you whip your children too much ; you clothe them too coarsely; you neglect their moral instruction, and you work your horses ! too hard; vour servants should be permitted to ratal the same table with your family, and take their hr.lydays when they please; moreover I can not consent that you should buy your domestic clothing of foreigners; you must buy of me al though you may have to pay a double price; good neighborhood and friendship for me require this sacrifice at your hands. l Ten to one he would be ordered to leave the premises and mind his own business. And it Christian forbearance should consent to remonstrate against such egregious wrong, and such remonstrance should he met with vituperation and slander mi the part of the firmer, | denouncing his obdurate friend as a thief, a rob ber, a hypocrite, a man-stealer, a flesh-jobber, and should proceed to steal away his children and ser vants as from the hands of a pirate, it could hardly he expected that flesh and blood would continue | to supplicate forbearance and beg lor neighborly kindness after such accumulated wrong. Vet all this die South has borne and is beat is ir; and what ■is worse, if any of her sons threaten to resist such outrages, or in the language of Langdon Cheves, chance to ask, ‘ What is the Union worth lo the South’?—they are denounced as traitors for no other sin than that lliey love their country but too : well. This is the work of party presses and office I seekers who work Kir bread to deceive the people; they never forget that ‘hv their craft we have our wealth,’ and therefore they shout ‘for the space of two hours—Great is Diana of the Ephesians!’— Oh, for the good old days of Roman men !
