THE REPUBLIC.
SAMUEL 31. STRONG* l.auor.
IE 1 C(>X FI.111! I .11!) 2C,, 1845.
"7o.\GHESB AND Mi, Hii.E.
The present session of Congress will
terminate in a few days and Mr. Polk
will assume the reins of Government.—
Os course, so lar as the consummation ol
the Texas project is involved, he will be
for the present powerless to do either
good or evil. Mr. Polk is a close and sajc
politician, and will adhere strictly to the
tbrtnsof the constitution in the accom
plishment of what will be the darling ob
ject of his administration. At least this is
his character. If so it may turn out best
to the main for the interests of the coun
ty. Caution and prudence arc deemed
by historians as eminent virtues in execu
tive magistrates. They are so, no doubt,
if they do not grow into timidity. They
are conservative not accretive virtues. Coun
tries have often been successfully defend
ed and preserved by their exercise; we
do not at this moment recollect of empires,
states or territories, ever having been ac
quired by its application. Two cities
did once suffer, we believe, by the use oi
these inherent cardinals.
The wily Greeks rolled their wooden
horse before the walls of Troy, and those
obtuse adulterers (the Trojans) were green
enough to introduce the machine, preg
nant with armed men, into their city.—
The poet tells us that by this ruse Troy
fell. Kn passant, will not the subtle Ulys
ses of New York bv the attempt to play
off’ his magician tricks, blow up the dem
ocratic party cm some beautiful April day?
The other case was a regular patent
invention for taking cities, and the only
way in which the said Ulysses or any of I
his school will ever immortalise them
selves as warriors. Tire historian tells
us that Philip of Macedon being very de
sirous of taking a certain city, and not
feeling disposed to engage in a long siege,
demanded its immediate surrender.—
Wheicupon the authorities refused to
open their gates. Bombastes Furioso ! ]
thunder and battering rams ! not surren- 1
tier to the King of Macedon ! We should
suppose that he immediately ordered up
his irresistible phalanx, stormed the city
and delivered it over to the fury of his
soldiers. He did no such thing! lie
very quietly ordered out from the ranks,
an ass —a ‘ginewino’ bona fide ass, threw
a bag of gold across his back, mounted
a tnonkev on him, and quietly turning his
head toward the walled town, followed
i lose in the rear. Open Sesame! The
gates flew open as if at the bidding of!
some potent enehanlress, and his liege j
proceeded to take possession of the city
and annex it to his dominions. This was I
the Wright way of doing the business—
the result of caution, cunning and prudence.
These qualifications will never win for
iis Texas. And we confess that person
ally we do not admire them altogether,
perhaps, as much a- we ought.
This great question, by the intrigues
of John Bull, the inereased and increas
ing influence of abolitionists in the coun
try and in Congress, the disgraceful re
crearieyof Southern Whigs, and the base
treachery of Northern Democrats has at
last become as doubtful and complicated
as tin' Gordian knot. And unless more
patriotic and enlightened counsels pre
vail, die question tnnv in future times he
submitted to the orbit ramenl of the sword.
l!v a bold coup dr main, subsequent to tbe
adjournment of Congress, Mr. Polk might
settle the question and cam for himself
imperishable renown. The regular army
might lie ordered into Texas, the country
quietly delivered into the possession of
the commander’'in chief, and the star
spangled banner of our country substitu
ted for the lone star, under the treaty of
ISO3. The Texans would hail us as]
their deliverers. Mexico would yield
without a blow, and England would nev
er interpose an armed interference. The
destiny of Texas would be fulfilled, the
security of Southern institutions confirm
ed, and the glory of the Union achieved
The House of Representatives would
not prefer articles of impeachment. They
could not fora majority would sustain the ;
measure. The wrath of the Federal par
ty would bo heard only in the croakings
of that ill-boding old raven, John Quincy
Adams, or in the empty vaporings of that
two fold traitor (the betrayer of his state
and his country,) Clinghman of North
Carolina. The south has chivalrously
stood by tbe north in the acquisition of
Oregon, and the admission of lowa, ca
pable of maktng seven states, and from
both of which slavery is forever preclu
ded.
They abandon Texas, and hesitate as
to the admission of Florida, because of
their unnatural hatred and jeolousy of the
South. It is time that we should cast
about to right ourselves peaceably if ice
may, forceably if we must.
OLD VIRGINIA.
As ever in trying times, old V irginia
heads the cohorts of Liberty. Her mem
bers of the House, unanimously sustains
Brown’s resolutions and scouts Benton’s
to the winds. The old “prairie bull’s”
time is up. Salt can't save him. Never
will he again occupy the same position and
influence in the ranks of the Democracy,
as he was wont when the Albany Regen
cy was in its zenith. The honors of the
Republic ought to be decreed to old Vir
ginia for the services she rendered the
country and more especially the Soul!)
during the past campaign and for the
bold front she wears at the van of the Re
publican party in the terrible struggle for
the constitutional existence of Southern
rights. The eloquence of her Henry’s
still echoes on her mountain heights, and
the pervading spirit ot her Washingtons
and Jeflersons dwells in the bosom of her
citizens.
HEADING I*KEh I DENT POI.K.
We transfer to our columns to-day the
letters of Mr. Foster and Mr. Robinson of
New Vork, and the truthful and well timed
remarks of the Washington Constitution
in the same connexion. Wc trust that
the evidence here given of the efforts!
making by a small knot, of politicians in ;
New V ork,to revive that miserable system 1
of tactics by which the party was disgrac-:
ed and our principles overthrown in 1540,1
is sufficient to convince those by whom
we were condemned for the remarks we
had occasion some time since to make in j
relation lo the conduct of of Gov. Wright'
and a few of his friends on the Texas
question, were not misapplied. We have
no desire to detract in the slightest degree ;
from the distinguished services which Mr. j
W right has hitherto rendered to the Re
publican party, and we would not, if we!
could, tear one leaf from the well earned I
wreath that adorns his brow. But for;
one, we are determined not to share di
rectly or indirectly in the tame and halt
ing policy that would loose Texas, con
temn the will of the people, falsify, shame
fully' and basely falsify our pledges, be
fore the country, because some eminent
aspirant lor the Presidency had taken a
false step. We believe the day of hesi
i tation for us of the South has passed, and
i that it is time to wash our hands of all
such men. To say that Mr. Wright or
his clique personate the opinions or feel
ings of any considerable number of the
Democratic party in any of the northern
States on the question of annexation, j
would he erroneous, as well as unjust to
the greatbody of the Northern Democracy,
who have on this great question, as on
others, heretofore proved themselves true
to the South and to their country; and we
have always believed that Mr. Wright
and his clique upon this as well as upon
other questions involved in the political
action of our parly, indicated the feelings
of a small minority, a miserable faction of
trading politicians in their own State, wlm
with the poltroony of the base and merce
nary swiss, have always held the sword
for any one that would pay'. It was
against these, and such as these, that we
have spoken, and will continue to speak, i
whenever we think their treachery re
quires exposure:
“We give below tlie teller of Mr. Foster, of
New Yoik, to the Richmond Enquirer, with ilie
tellers of .Mr. Orville Robinson, written to Alba
ny, in connection with tbe election of Unilcit
Stales Senators from that State. We were long
since aware that ibis sort of machinery was at
work, to control tbe free action of .Mr. Polk, as
well as the fate of annexation. A thousand light
impressions appeared upon the surlnce of thing*
—now ami then a heavy foot print—and Mr.
Robinson's letters, rising at) we the surface of all
the sapping and milling that have been going on,
present us at once with a clear view of these inter
esting operaiions. This is an illustration, as well
as a part, of that miserable system of tactics by
which the deep interests involved in the (tolitical
action of this Government, have been so much
controlled. “Dickinson and Foster have taken
ground in lavorof the annexation ol'Texas. This
is Calhoun’s ground—one lo which .Mi. Wright
is opjx sed and voted against. If you elect Dick
inson and Foster, you give the pro-Texas party a
preponderating influence with the incoming Ad
j ministration.” And he concludes by saying, dial
“if Dickinson and Foster should be defeated, we
would show a front, such as Mr. Polk would not
dare make head against!” That is the game!
i .Senators are to he set aside—Texas is to be de
tested—the will of tbe people contemned, because
one eminent citi/.eu has taken a tiil.se step, and it is
necessary to ins hopes for die Presidency that he
should tegain it. No matter what is the sacrifice,
i lie most not be placed in an unfavorable position.
Alas for die country ! In this wicked and selfish
game, the happiness, the security and welfare ol
1 die people are totally forgotten! The President
is to he controlled in his Executive action—Texas
driven off—the hopes of two nations disappointed,
because someone man wishes to be President,and
his friends think that this is the surest way to gra
tify him. If this is the commencement of that
‘ storm” which vve were warned would burst upon
us from the North, we sav, let it come! The peo
ple—the immoveable and patriotic Democracy—
will he prepared lor it. In their name, we say
again, let it come !
To the Editors of the Enquirer:
' Washington, January SI, 1845.
Gentlemen : I perceived last evening; in an
article in die Richmond Enquirer, noticinga rumor,
that Governor Wright,of New York, had inter
fered to prevent the election of Mr. Dickinson and
myself to the U. States Senate, and that Orville
Robinson, a member ol Congress front that State,
had written a letter to Albany lor the same pur
pose, that you appear lo doubt the correctness of
the rumor. lam not surprised at your unwilling
ness to believe that Governor Wright has used Ins
official influence to effect an election, which the
Constitution has devolved on the Legislature; hut
the course of Mr. Robinson, to those acquainted
with him, is not a matter for surprise. The tu
mors, however, in regard to both, are true.
For at least a week before the nominating caucus
was held, Mr. Wright Irequently, in conversation
with Senators and members ol' Assembly, express
ed his decided opposition to our election. This
none of Mr. Wright’s Iriends will deny; for I have
the letters of several members of the Legislature,
and of other highly respectable citizens, stating
that he so declared himself to them, and to others
in their presence.
On the 31st of December, Mr. Robinson wrote
a letter to Mr. A. C. Flagg, the present Comp
troller of New York, (who has for many years
been the intimate and confidential friend of Mr.
Wright, and whose name will probably lie present
ed to the President elect for a seat in his Cabinet,)
evidently designed to affect the election of Sena
tors ; and Mr. Flagg freely circulated copies oflhe
letter, as well as the original, among them mem
bers of the Legislature, in the words following;
“ Hon. A. C. Fi.agg :
“My Dear Sir: The recent letter of Air. j
Foster to Slanirn, and other events which have j
lately transpired here, lead me to the conclusion, j
that neither he nor Mr. Dickinson should be elect- j
ed to the Senate.
“ It is well understood here, that both are in fa
vor of Calhoun’s plan for the annexation of Texas
and that both will go into the support of him and
all his measures. Calhoun thinks his salvation de- j
pends on this election, and he and his friends reason ■
in this way, that thev (F. and D.) are not favor- j
ires of Mr. AY right,"and that Mr. Wright does
not want them elected ; and if, under such circum- i
stances, thev ate elected, it will be considered a
triumph and an evidence that the position taken by |
Mr. Wright on the Texas question was wrong, j
&c. ... j
“ I look upon the final action of our Legislature j
upon this subject, as settlinir the complexion of the
Administration ol Colonel Polk. II h ostcr anil
Dickinson are sent back here, the Administration
will be more or less under the control of Mr. Cal
houn, and all its patronage and power will be turn
ed airainst Mr. Wright for the successor.
“From present appearances,l incline to the opin
ion that no proposition for the annexation ol 1 ex
as, can find its way through the House at tins ses
sion. Its friend*begin to despair, and are afraid
1 to approach the discussion of it, and from t le mul-
I tiplievtv of plans which have been introduced, y<m
i Je that there is a great diversity of opinion amo g
' its friends. In regard to the modus oprraiidi, the
Democratic members from our State, with one ex-
c.eption, (Ellis,; t believe will go against Mt/Juf
tie’s resolutions.
“ Mr. Daubv, Gen. Davis of Troy, and Others,
j Iront our Stale, are here, and it is understood that
! they will leave here in a day or two for Albany, to
aid Foster and Dickinson.
“ Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
[Signed] ' “O. ROBINSON.
I “December 21, 1844.”
You will perceive that this letter not only proves
! the interlerence of Mr. Robinson, but also of Mr.
If right; and shows, plainly, the grounds of inter
i lerence; for it is written by one of Mr. Wright’s
] prolessed personal friends, to one who is bis confi
dant, and by him circulated tor more than two
weeks before the election among the members of
the Legislature, u nder the eye of Ml Wright.
1 have also been furnished with an extract of the
substance of a letter oi Mr. Robinson, which was
also circulated at Albany. It is as follows:
“Dickinson and Foster have taken ground in
favor of tbe annexation of Texas. This is Cal-!
ho tin’s ground—one to which Mr. Wright is op- j
|xised and voted against. If you elect D. and F.
you give Ihe pro-Texas party a preponderating in
fluence with the incoming Administration. It was
| for a time here the opinion ol those whom I con
suited, that it would be well to go Ibr D. and D.
(Dickinson and Dix;) but, upon reflection, we |
have come to the conclusion, that no such proposi
tion should Ire entertained. Il Dickinson should |
In* elected, we would lose the influence we desire;
New York would be divided, and lose her influence.
If D. and F. should lie defeated, the former as ;
well lor the short as long term, we would show a
front such as Mr. Polk would not dare make head
against.”
On the character of these letters and their use,;
iratiifosting as they do an intent to seize upon the
Administ ration of President Polk, and louse its
power and influence Ibr personal objects, and upon
their want of truth it is not now my purpose to
comment. A more pi o[ier occasion will doubtless i
occur. Mv only object at jiresent is, to place the
action of Messrs. Wright and Robinson coriectly
before the public.
I am, very respectfully, vour obedient servant,
HENRY A. FOSTER.
THE MILITARY.
The 22d of February was celebrated by
the different Military Companies of our
city, by the usual parades, salutes, &c\,
incident to the occasion.
The Macon Volunteers, that veteran]
corps, renowned in our military annals a.sj
one of the best disciplined, the most tasti
ly uniformed, and chivalrous companies
in the State, commanded by Capt. Isaac |
Holmes, the Floyd Rifles, young hut well
drilled, under that most excellent and high
spirited officer, Capt. B. F. Ross, and the}
Bibb Cavalry, headed by Capt. Rylander, j
(who deserves great praise for his steadi- '
ness and persevering efforts to establish a
good horse company) were all out with
burnished arms, and hearts filled with pat
riotism to do honor to the day, that gave
birth to George Washington, the undaunt
ed and victorious soldier, and the honor
ed and virtuous statesman.
With the characteristic spirit of the.
volunteer, they extended to their friends,
invitations to an entertainment given at
that depot of good things, the Floyd House,
which was as a matter of course suitable
to the occasion, as is every thing that pas
ses through the hands of the social, the libe
ral, and enterprising.
Macon ought to pride herself in her vol
unteer companies. No city in the South
surpasses that esprit du corps which at till
times prevail amongst them. Their res
pective officers are generous, chivalrous,
and inspired with the pride which is at all
times indispensable to make good milita
ry men. One great secret of their suc
cess is that the order of promotion is dem
• orrotic. Position in society, Wealth, pos
session, &c., have no influence in the dis
tribution of offices- Intrinsic merit, coitr
,nge, soldier-like conduct, and unblemish
ed character, are the requisites for com
mand, and no company can succeed with
out requiring these qualifications in their
officers.
We feel proud of these companies, and
Macon ought and can with just pride point
to them as her jewels.
AEG ROMANIA.
Adams is certainly negro bit. He and
bis whole school from Choate of Massachu
setts down to the despicable foot pedlar
who distributes his incendiary pamphlets
through the South, have made the Texas
question exclusively one of slavery or no
! slavery.
“Give tne (he exclaimed in the house)
a territory free of slavery and I will go
with you to the Rio del Norte to-morrow.”
How long will the eyes of Southern
Whigs remain closed to the intrinsic mer
its of this great measure. To ourselves
individually, mere partyism sinks into in
finitesimal bitterness in comparison to the
magnitude of the interests involved in its
successful adjustment. Let the South bu
ry the hatchet of political warfare, unite
in the bonds of common weal, and their
consolidated stiength will awe the fierce
and fanatical spirits of the North, prostrate
the unholy combinations formed for our
] union, result in the acquisition of Texas,
and re-establish a salutary amity between
the two great political parlies that must
produce incalculable good to the country.
STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
Senator Tappan from the Committee on
the Library, reported a few days since a
bill authorising a contract with Luigo Per- 1
sico, fora bronze equestrian statue of Gen. 1
Washington, to be placed at the base now ]
occupied by the naval monument at the
west front of the Capitol. Also author
ising the purchase from the American
sculptor, Powers, of marble busts of each |
of the Presidents of the United States,
and appropriating §20,000 lor carrying
out these objects.
THEATRICS.
The Macon Theatre is again in success
ful operation under the management of
Mr. George Chapman, a gentleman inti
; mately conversant with his profession,
' and favorably known throughout the coun
try as the conductor of an efficient Theat
j rical corps.
His list is headed with the name of Mr.
Proctor, who stood in high repute in Bos
ton and other Northern cities, as an actor
of first rate talents. And his success in
} Macon is proof thal he looses none of his
fire by performing before a Southern au
dience. Mr. C’s. selections are excellent,
1 the stage arrangement good, and the act
ing if not of the first rate order, at least de
serving of a generous patronage. To-
night will be presented the celebrated tra
gedy of Venice Preserved. To conclude
with the admired historical drama of the
Fall of the Alamo, or the Death of Davy
I Crockett.
i And we feel assured that a good play
will do more to disperse the blue devils
than a dozen baskets of Sillery’s brand.
It will be seen from an advertisement
in to-days paper, that Messrs. Henry and
Keevil, give their second entertainment
in the Council Chamber. The subjects
will be highly interesting to every one,
more especially the rising generation.
Last night a large auditory were pleas
ed with the Dioramic Views, the Plane- j
tarium and Lecture on the Earth, Moon
and Sola! system.

Planters :
LOOK TO YOUR INTEREST! !
TUI) tlfidcfsigncd proposes lo supply
every Planter in the Slate of Georgia, with
a Medicine in the convenient form ol Pills, suita
ble til the vvmtts of anv Family or Plantation, on
such terms as cannot fail to bean inducement to
those who have charge of the live* and welfare of
their follow beings, and on terms such as precludes
the possibility on bis part, of in the slightest de
gree humbugging thr community in this delectable
age of humbug, viz :
“IF NOT SATISFIED THE MONEY IRE
FUNDED!!”
THESE PILLS in their original cost will be
cheaper, than almost any other cathartic in com
mon use, and as above are warranted to give sa
tisfaction. They are a safe medicine, containing
' under oath, neither, calomel, opium, lobelia,
! croton oil, mercury in any form, arsenic, anli
{ mony or any other Mineral substance whatever,
[ and can be taken with impunity under any circum
stances without particular danger from exposure
to cold or drinking water. They can be Used with
I the utmost gaiety and certainty, bv any overseer of
i good sense who is calculated lo have the care of
Negroes, and from an experience of eight year* in
their use the subscriber leeks confident that be risk*
nothing in stating with care they will cure99case*
in every 100 of billious lever in legs than ten day*.
Their action in the removal ol bile is so very "es
■ licit-til that Ilio'sc who have used them utlilormlv,
testily that in this resjiect they are
SUPERIOR TO CALOMEL.
With such a Medicine then I am prepared to
j supply you, and for this pur)M>ge will during the
[ spring month*, have agencies established in the
variods sections of ihe State, when nty agents will
. have full instructions to abide by these term* to (ha
