THE 'REPUBLIC. “
SAMI El, .11. STRONG, Editor." " '
MACON, APRIL 9, 1846.
ft?” The Democratic Party of Bihb
County are requested to assemble at the
Court House, on Saturday, 19th inst., at
11 o’clock, A. M., for the purpose of ap
pointing delegates to the Gubernatorial
Convention to be held in Milledgeville,
and for the transaction of other business.
THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The third Monday in June, seems to
be the day, generally preferred tor the as
sembling of the Democratic Convention
to nominate a candidate for Governor.
Among the names suggested for that
important office, we find those of Messrs.
Johnson, Iverson, and McAllister, and
other prominent individuals of the party.
Union for the mice of success, is the motto
we recommend tolheos piranls, their friends,
and the party.
A WIRE (.ItASS DEMOCRAT.
The wire grass is a growth peculiar to
the Southern counties of Georgia, the
country of deer, turkeys, wild cats, range
cattle and “ varmints” of every descrip
tion.
But its very best productions in “human
shape divine” is a wire grass democrat, to
the whigs the most nondescript of our
race.
A “ginuine critter” of this genus to
get to an election would fight his way
through a hundred acres of wild cats, or
wade through a pond of alligators as
thick as tadpoles. A battery of pnixltan
twenty-fours wouid’nt give one of them
the stndds twenty seconds.
Just let them raise the “Dooly scream”
■or the ‘ riglar,” Irwin wild cat howl and
the settlements will he “scacely” of w higs
as an old topers jug of rot gut.
And tin* gals, hut we dont want to raise
“old Seb<‘V’ dander. They made him
prance like a colt, and his tongue run like
a spinning ginnery. We thought during
the last fall elections that it would be a
“leetle hard” to get Old Huston's mettle
up, but when they leapt from their fillies
springy as catamounts, plump as wood
pigeons and slick as unions, the old
horse threw his head up, gave a loud
snort and was off as it all the wild boars
of the Okeefenokv. were after him. Now
he curveted then he plunged and away
he went at it “agin time.” and had he not
exhibited such tremendous hoi tom they
never could have discovered that he was
no colt.
As for the boys they know how, for
whom and when to vote ; and can lick
a blue light iulo a perfect know lodge of
old Torn Jefferson's politics, before you
cun say Jack Robinson. They don't care
a fig about military tactics. They fight
their own way and on their own hook,
and pile h right into their man like a “duck
upon a jnne bug.”
'Tis the best country in the known
world for oculists and dentists. They
give these scientific gi ntry a lev fit ns re
gular as the first Monday of every Octo
ber comes round. Ve t they are seriously
the best he arted men imaginable.
They’ll walk twenty miles to sot a
traveller right who has mistaken a cow
path for a public road, and hum ail day
long in a dogtrot to treat a friend to a
haunch of venison.
And with all the unsophisticated ness
of their nature, there is no “corning it
over them.” They look right into a man
at a glance and can tell whether he is a
“hawk or a hand saw” in a moment.
They were thoroughly aroused last fall
and but for the rantanhrous way they have
of doing tilings, “Old Boston” would have
“jimnt’d along josey” certain. As long
as cows low or calves bleat the demo
cratic party should honor and remember
them. It’s a glorious range, that wire
grass country. The spirits of its people
though untamed as the bucks that roam
their forests, are as generous as a prince
in his revels, and true in the hour of trial
as Morgan’s rangers at the battle of the
Cow pens.
The enquiry is frequently made by per
sons desirous of exploring Florida, in re
gard to the facilities and -expense of get
ting there. We are apprised that boats
run from Savannah to the St. Johns River,
but do not know the amount of passage
money required, the time occupied in t lie
passage, or the highest point on the St.
Johns to which they ascend. Will the
Editor of the Georgian favor the public
with a response to these questions ? By
doing so they will who are
now raging with the Florida lever, and
confer a favor upon all who are desirous
of visiting the land of the citron, the or
at ge and the olive. —Macon Republic, 2d
instant.
We would inform the Editors of the!
Republic that the St. Matthews runs from
Savannah to Palatka on the St. Johns,
charging $lO, —and that the steamer Sa
rah Spalding, a smaller boat, takes pas
sengers from Palatka to Lake Monroe,
See. for five dollars. The St. Matthews
leaves Savannah every Saturday after
noon, and arrives at Palatka on Mouduy
at 6. I*. M.
The steam packet Win. Gaston, leaves
Savannah every Wednesday for Palatka.
Savannah Georgian, 2d inst.
An old school Massachusetts man sta
ted that when in New York he went to I
see Fanny Ellsler dance. His modesty
was most awfully shocked, and he turned
away his face. On looking over amongst
the ladies he expected to see them with
their fans up to their faces; but what was
the horror of the old gentleman when he
l>eheld them with their eye-glasses up
gating intensely at the beautiful vision
that floated before them.
the post office.
” e learn that old Cave Johnson is whet- j
ling his butcher knife to be in readiness
tor the decapitation of some thousand of
fice holders. “Off with their heads” say
we, and let it coine quickly.
Old Santerre is the very man for us.—
lalk ot moderation—it’s an abuse of
terms. Marcy was right when he said “to
the victors belong the spoils.” It is the
usage of parties. No independent Demo
crat would accept or hold office under a
Whig administration, and no independent
Whig ought to think of retaining office un
der Democratic Rule. The law of the
“in’s and outs” is clearly established in
this government, and rightly too. When
a party goes into power it ought to make
a lull sweep of all offices primary anil se
condary, becomes solely responsible
for the managements of public affairs, and
is clearly entitled to the selection and ap- 1
point ment of its agents.
By the way the “man ofblood” stands
pledged to instant and universal reform.
But tor all that the augeari stable can’t be
cleansed in a day.
THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.
We are in receipt of the April number
of this valuable and useful periodical,
which fully sustains its high character as
an agricultural paper. We are surprised
that a larger number of farmers are not
subscribers; for we venture the assertion
that it will quadruple the pittance charged
annually for the paper, to all its suhscri-1
hers, 'fhe advantages of an agricultural |
journal is, we rejoice to see, becoming
more genetally appreciated; and the pre
judice so long entertained against book
farming and general improvement, is fast
fading away before the modern experi- <
meats produced in agricultural chemistry. ’
Their adaptation to practical husbandry
is no less appreciated than acknowledged.
The perfection of every science, is but
the result of a series of experiments; and
it is as well applicable to horticulture and
agriculture as any other pursuit.
We would most earnestly commend
this journal to I lit: people of Georgia, as
calculated to advance the cause of South
ern Agriculture, and enable the fanners
of Georgia to keep pace in the knowledge
of all the improvements of the age ; and
we will add that there lias been no science
which has made such astonishing pro
gress in improvement as that of Agricul
ture. The Southern Cultivator, is publish

vt in'so nan s e x a t i o n .
The Madisonian of Aptil 3d, republish
es the following letter from the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Jour
nal of Commerce. Jt is well worthy of
public consideration, and we transfer it
to our columns to-day, as the best state
ment of the true issues between Texas
and the United Slates, as well as between
the antagonist parties in the two Repub
lics, that we have lately met with. It
also |M)ints out the best mode, in onropin
-1 ion, of proceeding, with one exception,
that we have seen suggested. But we
subjoin the letter entire itself, and the re
marks of the Richmond Enquirer in the
' same connexion, and ask lor both, the
reader’s attention:
“The state of the Annexation question
is now very critical and interesting. We
have heard through the Texan press, the
voice of some of the great n:en of Texas.
But we have not yet heard the voice of
the people. Human nature is much the
same both sides of the Sabine. The great
men and die presses, and much of the ta
lent and wealth of this country are gene
rally arrayed, as ifby instinct, against the
feelings, opinions and interests of the peo
l»le.
“The public men of Texas will not be
quite so great, when that nation shall be
come merged in the Union, l'heir Con
gress will become a local Legislature,
their President a mere Governor, and she
will have no more embassies to send
abroad. Attempts are vain, however, to
array the national pride of the people
against, the affinity to and love for the
American Union.
‘•The same local feelings arid interests,
and the same personal ambition, which
now operate against Annexation in Texas,
had well nigh prevented the adoption of
the Federal Constitution, and have, in
some instances, threated its existence
since.
“The President of Texas is opposed to
Annexation upon any terms. Dr. Ashhel
Smith, now Secretary of State, and late
Minister to London, was indoctrinated in
the same policy while abroad, ar.d when
in this city, on his return, declared his
hostility to the measure. Hence, we may
account for the tone of the Government
organ of Texas (the “Register”) on this
subject.
“Nine-tenths of the voters of Texas are
still in favor of Annexation upon any just
and reasonable terms —upon the best terms
that the friends of Texas were able to get,
for the present. Still, the zealous and
perseveiing hostility ol'tlie few may effect
much.
“The best opinion is—and I have con
sulted the best informed on the subject—
that President Jones will be compelled,
by public opinion, to summon Congress in
special session, and submit to them the
propositions of our Government.
“If the Congress do not authorize annex
ation on the terms of the original Joint
Resolutions, as they passed oui House of
Representatives, they then can indicate
the terms to which they will assent, and
these will be made the basis of a Treaty j
or of Articles of Annexation, according to
the provision of our Act.
“Now, as to these terms, there are many
things to be considered by both parties.
“The terms of the joint resolutions are
considered hard and humiliating to Tex
as. But still it must be remembered, that
they were the only terms which we could
get from the late Congres; and that the
moment Texas shall become a State, she
will he treated with the same kindness
and indulgence that we have ever extend
ed to new States. The whole history of
our legislation is full of instances of pro
! fuse liberality to new States. They have
always got all that they asked, and even
more. If we are to be thrown back upon
a Treaty again, it will he an up-hill busi
j ness. The best chance for a speedy and
i satistactory accomplishment of the mea
jsure, so much desired by the people of|
both countries, is by the acceptance of the
! terms of the joint resolution.
“There are two points upon which Tex
jas may very properly disagree to those
terms, and, in regard to them, our Gov
ernment will, no doubt, be disposed to j
meet the views of Texas, by legislation,;
viz: We take from Texas one of her main j
| sources of revenue—the customs —which i
are pledged for the payment of her debts,'
and leave her creditors without redress.—
This would be discreditable to Texas, and j
1 10 the whole Union of which she would I
form a part. It may he said, that all the
original States of the Union gave up to the j
General Government their right to impose
1 duties, &c., but, in consequence of that j
concession, the State debts were assumed, i
| ami paid by the General Government. — 1
; With the same propriety, therefore, we
may assume the debt of Texan indepen
dence. It may be said, that we leave to j
Texas her lands, from the proceeds of
which she may pay her debts, and have a
surplus. But this will depend upon the
boundaries which wc may assign to
Texas, and which are to be the subject of
fi*-r negotiation with Mexico. If Texas is
to be restricted within the narrow limits'
which some have assigned to her, she.
will have but a small and insufficient do-[
1 main lelf”
“The question of boundary is of itself!
one of vital interest to Texas, and she will i
not he satisfied with any boundary short;
of that of the Rio Grande.
“Thus much us to the objections which ;
1 Texas uiay urge to the terms of the Joint !
Resolutions. Now, as to our own objec
tions to them, —and heie l will undertake
i to say, that the terms ot these resolutions,
so far as the Union is concerned, are im
practicable and absurd, and utterly incon
sistent with the constitutional rights and
duties of the General Government. We
cannot give up to Texas the control of her
public domain. It would be as great an
anomaly as to give her the power to de
clare war and involve the Union in it.—
Much of that domain is in possession of j
the native tiibes, and, if we lelt the man- j
, agemetil of the domain to Texas, we might j
j become embroiled iti expensive wars with
| those ti ibes. Treulies are also to be made I
j with the Indians lor the extinguishment of ;
their title, their removal, &c. The ex-,
peases attending the management of the!
kind system have been found lo be very \
great —and, taking the whole period of the
duration of our Government, have amount- '
ed to neaily as much as the receipts fiom |
their sale.
“Again, Texas pressed for money to.
pay' the interest of her debt, may he indu- j
ced, and would lie no doubt, to undersell ;
our Louisiana and Florida lands. The
Government of the United States has fixed
upon one dollar and twenty-five cents as
the minimum price of their lands, and how
would it do to allow Texas, as a State, to
undersell us?
“This being the state of the mailer, nei
ther party "'til agree, finally and perma
nently, to the terms proposed. VVe must |
1 take the control and possession of the
lands of Texas, and, as ail equivalent ibr :
them, and for the deprivation of Texas!
from other sources of revenue, wc must |
pay her debts; or, what is the same thing,i
if the woul assumption is more odious in j
our estimation than that of repudiation, let
us allow her a fair and adequate consider
ation for her lands.
“Such trims would satisfy the Texan
people, and would he approved by ours. I
They can and must be carried into effect, I
! no mutter upon what nominal terms Texas i
may be annexed.
“Should Texas agree to take the Joint
Resolutions, and trust, as she mignt impli
citly do, to future legislation to remedy
their defects, the work will be accom
plished.
“But there is still another and almost
equally easy mode of attaining the object:
Let the Texan Congress suggest the con
ditions upon which she will accept the
Joint Resolutions, as articles of annexa
tion, and let our Congress assent to those
conditions,and the work will then be com
plete.
“In no other way will annexation he
brought about for years. The proviso of
Mr. Benton is too complicated, and will
subject the whole arrangement to tedious j
delays, if not to insuperable difficulties.
“When Mr. Calhoun’s instructions shall
be made public, it will be found I pre
sume, that lie relies on some such mode as
l have suggested, and not upon the ap
pointment of Commissioners to treat with i
Texas.”
Comments.
The above lelterassigns very strong rea
sons why the United States should have
the power to dispose of the public lands of
Texas. It prevents an undue competi-j
lion in the rnaiket between Texas and the
United States—and it moreover makes a
better arrangement about these lands,
whenever new States are to be carved out j
of Texas. It provides also a better mode
Ibr negotiating with the Indians, and man- !
aging the various tribes which are scatter- j
ed through that region. Should Texas
rausfer her lands lo us, rather than retain j
them, (and take the chance of having some
future surplus for her own domestic pur-i
poses,) and she will transfer them upon
condition that we fund her debts, and pay
them off'as fast as wc sell the lanJs.or by
any other scheme which may be mutually
agreed upon, nothing can be easier tl
effect such an errangernent herer
Such compacts are very common b
the United States and the Stai
there can be no doubt, as the ao
states, that “she will (in these a
er respects) be treated with
kindness and indulgence that v
tended to new States.” The p
itors would no doubt be sad
such a commutation as soon a
be completed.
Let Texas, therefore, accept the ,
lions of the House Resolutions, her at
sion into the Union is at once secured, <
a subsequent compact will do the rest.-
j The Constitution which she will form and j
present to the next Congress for ratifica
tion, will, in all probability, he accepted, |
because the resolutions will bind Congress ;
to admit Texas, with or without slavery,
!as she may please. We prefer this course j
j decidedly to the other alternative, which j
;the letter suggests. Suppose the Texas
i Congress should change the mode of ae- j
I lion, and instead of submitting a Constitu-'
lion for our acceptance, where to shift the
position of the question, and specify the
! new conditions upon which she “will ac
cept the joint resolution, as articles ofati
jnexation,” then the question occurs, will
“our Congress assent to these conditions?”
There is some doubt about it. We may
be again at sea. The Whigs will throw ev- j
ery r obstacle in the way of accepting these
new conditions. The same battle might!
have to be fought over again, and the
[country again to be exposed to the same
agitation. The final adjustment of the an
[nexation would be delayed, if not endan- ;
| gered.
A CURIOSITY.
i We this morning t ailed at the office of !
the Georgia Messenger, of this city, where
! we were shown an antique vase, which;
was discovered twenty feet below the sur
face of the great mound east of the Oc
mulgee river, where Mr. Joseph A. White
i has commenced an extensive excavation
in connection with his brick yard. The
; vase still remains at the Messenger office,
and can be examined by any individual
who will call for that purpose. It is fun-1
: nel shaped and is evidently of ancient
origin. It is such a vessel as is more
than once referred to in the writings of
the immortal Horace. How it eatne to
lie buried in the mound in which it was
discovered, is a problem not to be solved
by us; we leave that question to other
enquirers more learned than ourselves.—
We, however, request all persons versed [
in matters of this kind, to examine this;
curiosity, inasmuch as it may throw some j
light upon the now vexed question, “who
were the first inhabitants of the American !
icontinent ?
CASE THE SECOND)
Or, Bishop Onderdonk in a diamond Edition.
i Our city- has been thrown into great
I excitement by various rumors assuming
■ the semblance of truth, in regard to the
!conduct of Mr. S. H. Fay, the superinten
jdant of the Montpelier Female Institute,
| towards its female members.
It is stated that Bishop Elliott and Mr.
(>. B. Lamar, of Savannah, known as
[one of its principal patrons, are now’ on a
visit to the school for the purpose of in
| vestigating the facts. No person acquain
j led with the peculiar sanctity of the super-
I attendant's character, would ever suspect
} him of committing the grave offence im
puted to him. VVe hope the affair will I
bo sifted to the bottom. It is due to the
public, and especially to the patrons of;
the school, that there should be no mock
delicacy exhibited on the occasion. Mr.!
j Fay’s position in society should not shield
j him one moment from exposure and dis
[grace if guilty. If innocent, he will I
j court rather than avoid the most rigid!
j scrutiny.
Tlte fathers of the young ladies now,
members of the school, ought to probe
the tnatier to the bottom. They are tnost
deeply and fearfully interested in main
taining the purity of the institution.
GEN. ALMONTE’S PROTEST.
The evening Gazette of Saturday, pub- (
lishes ihe following as an abstract of the
Protest of the Mexican Minister, on the;
occasion of the passage of the Annexa
tion Bill :
“The undersigned has the honor to
address himself to the Hon. Secretary ol
State, in order to manifest the deep con
cern with which he has seen that the
President of the United States has given j
his signature to a law admitting into this
confederacy the Mexican province of j
Texas.
He had flattered himself that the sound»
counsels of the most distinguished citi
zens, &c., would have led to a better re
sult. Unhappily it has not been so, and
against his hopes and sincere vows, he
sees consummated on the part of this
government, an act of aggression the
most unjust that modern history records—!
the spoliation of a friendly nation of a!
considerable part of its territory.
For these reasons, in obedience to his
instructions, he must protest, and does
protest, in the most solemn manner, in!
the name of his Government against the
law, &c.
He protests also that the act, in a meas
ure, invalidates the rights of Mexico to
recover her province, of which she is so
unjustly dispossessed, and that she will
j maintain and give effect to those rights
by all tlie means within her power.
He also begs that the Secretary will
! let the President know that in view of all
these facts, his mission near this Govern
ment terminates from to-day. He conse
quently Legs that the lion. Secretary j
will forward to him his passports, because
it is his purpose to leave this city as soon
as possible for New York.”
Very well. There is Do great harm in
this. On the contrary, it is not the tone
of a minister whose nation is about to de
clare war. The truth is, that the Mexi
can authorities, by this time, understand
as well as the rvrt of the wcrld, that their'
tic,
no dotiv
friends than ever >»..

FOR THE REPUBLIC.
„Vr. Editor : I sec by several of I lie Demi>crat

rit well worthy the noble cause they are intended

Republic, to make a sugoestinii as lo the time for
ho'ding our Convention liir the purpose of nomina
ting a man, not only to be run as a candidate for
Governor, lint to he elected beyond a doubt. I
would suggest the third Wednesday in June as a
suitable time, lor the billowing reasons:
I live myself in one of the lower counties of the
State, and our people are not together in the Spring
except at the Superior Courts, they live so remote
front each other, and ttie counties are so large that
they cannot he gotten together at any other time,
so as to get their opinions and to appoint delegates
to the Convention, who will he able to iepre.-eni the
feelings anil opinions of all the people. .Many im
portant Conventions have been held fir various '
purposes, heretofore without the people in these
counties having an opportunity of co-operating in j
an equal degree. The people in the low counties
feel a little sensitive about the mailer and I hope j
our Democratic friends will not be ill too great haste I
about having the Convention.
Onr Spring Courts close the second week in June, j
Our Democratic friends will no into the contest
with “might and main,” relying upon the justness
of their cause, the strength of their principles, and :
the abundance of Polk berry cordial pul up last
year, now ready for use. We are not choice about
the man so that we get the best one. We want a I
man f>r Governor, against whose character nothing ■
can he said, against whose good name even suspi- ,
cion never dared to breathe its foul breath.
He must be a man of commanding talents—an
eloquent speaker—of untiring industry—of the old j
panne!—a man who can stand a favorable compar
ison in anv wav with any man in Georgia, he he I
Whig or Democrat. I would prefer a man who |
has not been too often before either the people or [
iheii Conventions. Bui l have no doubt the Con- ;
volition will select the best man in the State, and !
not the least doubt but he will he elected. Om
