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. MARRIED, In Augusta, on Thursday the 13th inst., by the Rev.
