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 ed ai Augusta, Gu., monthly, by .). W. W. S. Jones, Proprietors, arid edited by .Tames Camak, Esq., of Athens, Ga. Its Editor lias long been well known in Geor gia, and is confessedly a man of great ability and peculiarly fitted by his taste and acquirements for such a station. The price of the pa; er is only $1 a year. Post Masters are authorised to transmit free of postage. 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 >».. N. Y. Morning News. _ FOR THE REPUBLIC. „Vr. Editor : I sec by several of I lie Demi>crat ic papers, that (here are very decided movements being made bv many of friends in various counties in ihe Slate, in regard to our next Fail elections, which mnvemen'B truly evince a spi rit well worthy the noble cause they are intended to forward. 1 wish through the columns of your 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 Party are veterans just off a hard fmglit field of j victory, with the laurels still fresh upon our brows, and we enter Ihe contest flushed with victory, whi'e our opponents are disheartened by a Water loo defeat.
