\ correspondent having made some enqui
.ic, of us respecting the history, public ses-
I ;... and character ot Judge W into, to whom
'he post of secretary of War has been offered,
; h c following brief sketch may convey some
information to our readers.
1 The Hon. Hugh Lawson White is now
! about sixtv years of age. He is a native of
North Carolina, and was educated at the bar
! U 1 Pennsylvania, where he pursued his legal
-udies with diligence and success- While
t a vo ung man. he emigrated to Tennessee,
where his learning and accuracy in Ins pro
! fessiol3) especially in the doctrines of real pro-
I nertv and the soundness of his judgement,
; oon procured him a high reputation and ex
tensive practice. When Tennessee was e-
I ree'ed into a separate state,he became a mem-
I her of the Legislature, and was afterwards
I elected a Judge of the Supreme Court of that
at the time when the bench was graced
Ihv the learned and ingenious Judge Haywood,
lone of the ablest lawyers of the United States
■inhis time. In this situation he became as
I conspicuous for the impartiality and sound-
I nC <-'of his opinions as he had formerly been
|for his talents as an advocate. During the
I late war, when the southeastern states and
I territories were threatened with Indian inva-
Ision Judge White was in the field as a vol-
I untcer, and on this occasion it was that he
I laid the foundation of that accurate and ex
tensive knowledge oflndian affairs which he
i has' since displayed in Congress. In the year
ISI9, he was selected by President Monroe
las a commissioner, with Mr. Tazewell, of
| Virginia, and Gov. King, of Maine, for the
| distribution among our citizens of five mil
| lions of dollars, allotted by the Florida treaty
las an indemnity for Spanish spoliations be-
I tween ISOO and 1815. Coming to the dis-
I charm of the duties 6f this appointment with
I of commercial law arrd eoin-
I mercial interests, from which his situation
I had hitherto separated him; he soon made
I himself familiar with those subjects, and bc-
Icaine an able and efficient member of the
[board. His decisions respecting the claims
1 in which the merchants ofthis city and
I Boston were very largely interested, to the
I amount probably of three fifths of the whole
[sum to be distributed—gave universal satis-
I faction, by their discrimination and equity.
In 1824, when Gen. Jackson resigned his
[place in the United States Senate, Judge
I White was elected for the two remaining years
I of the term, and afterwards for the six years
lof the succeeding term. He took his seat in
I the first Congress of Mr. Adam’s administra
§ tion. He was an industrious and leading
1 member of the Judiciary, the Military, and
I the Indian Committee; in all the business of
I which, as well as in all matters relating to the
j public lands, he has proved himself a most
I able and efficient legislator. He is not ave-
I iv frequent speaker, scrupulously abstaining
I from subjects not immediately connected
I with the duties of the committee to which he
I belongs, or which do not fall within the range
1 ofiiis own information and pursuits. When
I called upon, however, to deliver Ids opinions
I by a sense of public dutv, he is one of the
I most able and effective speakers in the Senate.
I He is in an uncommon degree perspicuous, co-
I pious without useless degression, accurate in
I information, and forcible in argument. He
I is generally purely argumentative, but some
* times the force of an unexpected sarcasm
I shows with what power he might exorcise that
I talent, if the natural kindness of his disposi
-1 tion did not restrain him.
Judge White is a man of venerable appear*
I ancc, with grey hairs, of a spare make, active
B in mind and body, of habits of great regulari*
Itv and applicable to business. No man en
|j°y > n a higher degree the respect and confi
■ UiTice of the citizens of his native State,and
■ the love and esteem of his neighbors;

BEAUTIES OF REPUBLICANISM.
, There are said to he at lea§t sixteen hun
dred substantial houses about to be built in
Philadelphia this season. The Canal Com
missioners are now in session here with a
\ iew to the Columbia rail road and other great
state improvements—The central rail road
stock has all been taken—the last two bun
dred thousand dollars at a single stroke,by one
man. The Norristown rail road, the Chester
county rail road,and the Little Schuylkill rail
road are all going rapidly-into operation. It
is in agitation even to have the legislature of
Delaware called together in extra session, for
the mere purpose of giving furtherance to the
projected Delaware county rail road. The
state crnals are in good order and taking tolls
beyond all precedent or anticipation. Freights
are in demand. Wages for sea and shore are
high. The European trade, the China trade,
the South American trade, the African trade,
above all, the coasting trade, and the interor
trade, the exchanges of the country from east
to west, and from south to north, are flourish
ing. Peace and prosperity are every where
clipping us round about* Neighboring cities
like New \ ork, Philadelphia and Baltimore
are. all thriving together, without injuring
each other, but on the contrary growing far
beyond all ancient or European example.
Cities hundreds of miles from the sea-board,
Pittsburg, Louisville, Cincinnati, Rochester,
are concentrating wealth and industry almost
incredibly. The face of the whole country
smiling with productive labor. Go where
you will, a busy, happy, contented people are
increasing all the resources and enjoyments,
of gcneial happiness, prosperity and power.
Such arc the beauties of republicanism. Con
trast them with the deformities and miseries
of unrepresentative governments. I-ook a
broad at Warsaw', Rome, Brussels, London,
Paris—every where—and what do you behold
but revolutionary struggles, in which all the
time, talents, wealth and ppwer of nations arc
expended in destruction, while here they are
bestowed in creation. The cities, or the
country of the United States, are in themselves
argument and proof enough of the merits of
freedom. The city of New York alone pays
into the public treasury upwards of fifteen
millions of dollars—much more than all the ex
penditure (propsr) of the government. The
market of the city of Philadelphia alone re
quires three hundred thousand sheep a year,
thirty thousand horned cattle,twenty thousand
calves, and ten thousand swine each and eve
ry year, for the mere food of the inhabitants.
These are among the solid beauties of Repub
licanism— American Sentinel.

Tuesday, May Si, C .
I)r. Ambrose Baber,
w e are authorised to say, is a candidate to repre
sent this County in the Senatorial branch of the
next Legislature ; and we are also authorised to
announce
Tarpley lluli, Esq.
For the Representative branch, at the ensuing e
lection.
Our Town.
The Fire Engine which has been ordered for
Macon, will, it is presumed, shortly arrive. As
the safety of our town is a primary consideration,
we beg leave to suggest to our citizens, for the
purpose of establishing a systematic corps, that
a public meeting be called to organize the follow
ing companies:
A Volunteer Fire Company to be composed cf
permanent residenters; who, after their organiza
tion shall apply to the next Legislature for an act!
of incorporation, granting them such immunities
as the nature of their association may require.
A Mining Company.
A Ho'ok and Ladder Company,
An Axe Company.
It would be better, probably, if the last men
tioned Company were composed of domestics.
Such is the case in Augusta,—and they arc a most
efficient arm in the Fire Departments of that city.
This is a subject which should claim our ear
liest attention, and one to which too much im
portance cannot be attached. Without system
Fire Companies arc useless. Let us then meet
together, and devise seme plan for the contem
plated institution, that will enable us to carry it
into successful operation.
The highly laudable and enterprising exertions
of the respectable citizens of Augusta, who com
pose the Fire Companies of that place, have put
their town in such comparative safety, that insu
rance has been reduced fifty per cent. This is an
important consideration, —and will not fail to
strike with peculiar force every individual among
us who has the security and prosperity of Macon
at heart.
We deemed it unnecessary to reply to Detec
tor, inasmuch as we quoted him correctly, and
made what we thought and still think to be the
only fair inference of which his premise was sus
ceptible. The tone of the quotation which we
selected for animadversion, was so much in the
spirit of the feelings of the ultra philanthropists,
tuat we could not refrain from noticing and rebuk
ing it, in what we considered a proper manner.
It is a well known fact that there are a certain
set of politicians, who arc in the habit of censur-
' ing us for the servitude which is imposed upon
G yc domestic population, and in the same breath
eh uttering against their equality. Altho’ Dstec-
Ton •. did not directly contend for their equality, we
thoi the deduction might be drawn, for the
reaso *°f tli<c remark being so much in consonance
with t ' M; views of that school of politicians to
wj ieh \ ’ I3VC alluded. If comparison is any
■st; *, .
criterion to judge of a writer’s assertions, Detec
tor certainly degraded our slave population to the
level of the brute creation. Upon these logical
assumptions were our remarks based, and he is
at liberty to take them in their literal significa
tion, tor wo feel ourself above equivocation.
Mr. Lumpkin, a Candidate.
“ Taney gazing at a letter.— A cramp piece of
penmanship as ever I saw in my life! I can read
your print hand very well. But here there are
such handles, and shanks, and dashes—that one
can scarce tell the head from the tail. “To An
thony Lumpkin, Esq.” It’s very odd; I can
read the outside of my letters well enough—but
when I come to open it, it is all buzz, buzz,
buzz ! That‘s hard, very hard; for lam told the
inside ofa letter generally contains the cream of
the correspondence.”— She Sioops to Conquer.
Mr. I.umpkin, notwithstanding his previous de
clarations to the contrary, has at length officially
presented himself before the people of Georgia,
as a candidate for the next Executive Chair. We
have no objection that Mr. Lumpkin should do
this. lor as a public man he has certainly a
riglit to canvass the suffrages of the people for any
post which he may deem himself qualified to fill.
But we do most seriously object to the mode pur
sued by him for the purpose of reaching his de
termination. It does not appear to us to be “in
keeping” with that consistency of character which
should mark the conduct of a high-minded states
man—on the contrary, we are rather inclined to
view it as the restless and cquivocatipg disposi
tion of an unreflecting partizan, upon whom the
pride wd seductions of office have exercised an
undue influence.
The following are the reasons which Mr. Lump
kin gave in February last, for declining to accede
to what he says, were the wishes of his friends;
and also those, which he now says, induce him
to come forward. We place them in juxtaposi
tion: Here they are:

Washington,
February 1,1831. 5
Dear Sih —The edito
rial remarks contained in
the Augusta Chronicle
of the 20th ult. on the
subject of the next Gub
ernatorial election, in
connection with nume
rous letters which I have
received from citizens
residing in different parts
of the state, must plead
my apology to my friends
and fellow-citizens, Tor
publicly assigning a few
of the leading considera
tions which have influ
enced me, in declining
to accedetto their wishes.
Ist. There is already
confided to me, for two
years yet to come, an
important ojfkial trust,
by the direct suffrage of
the people. To abandon
that trust will not meet
the approbation of some
ofthose whoconlerred it.
2diy. The conviction
of my own mind is, that
under all the circumstan
ces connected with the
political interest of the
state, 1 have more pros
pect, at present, of being
useful to it in my present
situation, than in an}* o
ther.
Sdly. In the present
posture in which we find
the important interests
of Georgia, instead of
pursuing a course which
might tend to embitter
party animosities, and
engender new* strifes, it
is my most ardent desire
to see the whole, people
of Georgia united on tiie
great subjects of politi
cal interest, and princi
ple, which are insepara
bly connected with Li
berty, and the perpetua
tion of our Federal U
nion. “ The Federal U
nion must be preserved.’
And it can only bedone,
by the General and State
Governments confining
themselves within their
respective constitutional
spheres. Georgia must
maintain her Sovereign
ty and Jurisdiction over
the entire population
within her chartered li
mits. An attempt to a
bridge or deprive a slate
ofthis riglit, would be an
obvious, gross, and pal
pablr violation of the con
stitution. which would
be corrected by the peo
ple of the whole Union,j
bef ro endurance could'
become intolerable.
I am duly impressed
with a sense of the deli
cacy of my present situa
tion, and scarcely dare
to hope, that I shall steer
clear of the censure of
all. But I feel assured,
that if my motives could
be read by all,that which
could not be approved,
would at least be forgiv
en.
I am under abiding ob
ligations to all those kind
friends, who have sus
tained me through a long
course of public service.
To merit a continuance
of their kindness con
fidence, zeal and fidelity
to their interests shall
not be wanting to the
end of my course.
Very respectfully,
\ our ob’t serv’t,
WILSON LUMPKIN.

Now, in the first place lotus ask, if the trust
confided to Mr. Lumpkin, is notas important now,
as it was in February last?
In the 2d, whether ho has become convinced
that he cannot, be as useful in promoting the “ po
litical interests” of the Stato as ho at first thought
lie 'vas capable of doing?
In the 3d, whether there does not exist at pre
sent as great necessity to counteract the monopo

Dear Sir —My letter
addressed to you on the
first of February last, was
written with a view of
closing an increasing
correspondence, which
had originated with ray
friends, on the subject
therein referred to. It
was written in a spirit of
i frankness and candor,
and with the hope that it
would prove satisfactory
to my friends. But my
views have been disap
pointed; my friends have
continued to urge their
right, to judge what po
sition I should occupy, in
relation to public affairs.
I recognize the right of
the people to govern. In
the exercise of their con
stitutional right of suf
frage, it is their unques
tionable privilege to put
ill and out of office, at
pleasure, as they may
judge that their interest
require. The office cf
Chief Magistrate of a
state, cannot with pro-1
priety lie sought, or de
clined by any citizen.
Were my abUiies equal
to my desire to promote
the interest and welfare
of the state, I could have
yielded a more ready
assent to the wishes of
my friends; hut, consci
ous as 1 am of my defici
encies, I nevertheless
yield all my opinions
and feelings, on this sub
ject, to the public will.
As far as I can, I shall
put every selfish consi
deration out of the ques
tion. Wherever lain,
ray sole motive, A high
est ambition, shall be the
public good.

ties” in the Congress of the United States, as
there ever did at any previous period?
It Mr. L. will answer the first and last inter
rogatory in the negative, and the second in the
affirmative, we w ill absolve him from the charge
ol inconsistency which we have preferred against
him.
It cannot avail Mr. L., or his friends, to say,
that it is “Me will of the people ” that lie should bo
brought forward. The people have never ex
pressed any such will—neither have they given
any one authority' to do so for them. If they
have, when and where was it given? The truth
is, the declaration is made with a view to impose
upon the people. The Augusta Chronicle and
Federal Union, we believe, were the only* two pa
pers in the State fliat solicited Mr. Lumkin tode
*ert his post for an expectancy in future, which
w r e feel confident, as we have before said, he can
never realize—unless, forsooth, the Editors of
those papers can convince us, that they have been
regularly deputed, on this important occasion, to
pronounce the will of the people of Georgia.—
No, no—such manoeuvres are too stale and flim
sy to weigh in our estimation, a feather. It re
minds us, forcibly, of the shallow expedient to
which Buckingham resorted in proclaiming the
third Richard:
1 “ask’d the Mayor, what meant this wilful
silence:
His answer was—the people were not used
To be spoke to but by the recorder.
Then he was urged to tell my tale again:
Thus saith the Duke, thus hath the Hake inferreds
But nothing spoke in warrant from himself.
When he had done, some followers of mine own,
Ai the lower end o’ the hall, hurl’d up their caps,
And sonic ten voices cried, God sure Kingltichurd!
And thus I took the vantage of those few, —
Thanks , gentle citizens, and friends, quoth I;
This generous applause, and cheerful shout,
Argues your wisdom, and your love to Richard:
And even here broke off and came away.”
Mr. Culhniin, nt honitl
We extract the following from the Camden !
Journal—a paper which stands second to none in
South-Carolina lor Editorial talent, sound princi
ples, and consistent conduct. It will show in
what estimation Mr. Calhoun is held at home, by
the reflecting part of the community—and is a sure
augury that even there he has become a depre
ciated article in the political market. The Ame
rican people will never forgive him for his dupli
city* towards Andrew Jackson. His political
friends arr dropping from around him, one by one.
Thny have become disgusted athis inordinate am
bition for office, and feel ashamed to be associa
ted with one who is so careless of his own, and so
regardless of the reputation of others. We arc in
possession of some facts in relation to Mr. Cal
houn’s Agency in a certain western state, relative
to the Morgan mania, which we will developc at
a proper time.
When Mr. Calhoun is announced as acan*
| didate for a third election to the Vice Prcsi
! dcncy, wc shall most uuqUestionably be op
j posed to him—certainly, unless he disproves
the charge of Nullification, and we shall be
prepared with plenty of reasons for the oppo
sition ; but we apprehend no such movement
at present. Nor have we the most remote
idea that Martin Van Buren w ill be a candi
date. When he is, whether we support him
or not, will depend upon the circumstance,
that there is another candidate, in the field,
that wc like better. We have only to Bay of
Mr. Van Buren, that we never have manifes
ted any disinclination to speak freely of him ;
precisely as wc thought and as We pleased.
We speak of every man as we please, be it tin*
derstood. We have no doubt of one thing in
relation to the late Secretary of State, and that
is, that he has by no means had fair play from
the public press. We have no inclination to
praise him, but w*c shall do soyvheneVer it suits
our pleasure.—That's all.
nmfoitiAi.s.
We like the spirit displayed in the following
article. It evidences the right kind of feeling—
and when properly exercised is well calculated
to sustain the freedom and courtesy of the Press.
From tht Camden Journal.
'Ve consider Ourselves as having squared
off with all that portion of our brethren Edi
torial and pugnacious with whom we have had
an account current. We know of none of
them that wc arc not fairly quits with, except
two or three that wc never think of, except
when they snarl, and only think of them, long
enough to consider how desperately silly it
would be to make other folks exercise a passing
thought upon matters too trivial for human
cogitation. All our antagonists worth the am
munition being settled with, wc propose now
to “wipe off the chalks and begin anew*” In
other words—lf the Editors of Newspapers op
posed to us in politics, foci disposed to observe
the courtesy which ought to regulate the man
agement ot the press, and which many of them
always hare observed, they shall never fail to
find a correspondent disposition in this paper.
No man worthy of notice shall assail us and
go off with whole bones——even though his
own superiority enables him to break every
bone in our anatomy. We make no boast—
wc are quite as sensible as man need be, of
the advantages which some of cgir adversaries
suppose they have over us, and it is quite pos
sible that they may bring guns enough to boar
upon us to make a marvellous smoke—they
may chuckle for aught we know or for aught
wc care in some future battle, but this w e
know; they will never go out ofpe action
w ithout damages . No man shall maim us and
go off himself uncrippled. We repeat the in
vitation again. Let those who think us wrong
in our politics, combat us in a spirit of fair
warfare and the readers of this paper shall
never see its columns darkened into person
alities, or its Editor using any weapons than
those of cool reasoning and calm argumenta
tion. We desire peace With all men if we
know ourselves ; and we fear not but that
those who know us in private life, will sus
tain us in the assertion. Let our political foes
then, take hereafter, the choice of their own
course towards us. We prefer courtesy and
kind feeling—if they prefer a different mode
of operation—Here we arc.

were greatly endangered; but through the
timely and active exertions of our citizens,
in pulling down outbuildings, and protecting
others with wetted blankets, the progress of
the fire was arrested. The stables belong
ing to Mr. Dillard's hotel, were saved with
great difficulty. The buildings occupied bv
tho Democrat establishment were several
times on fire, and were only saved by the ve
ry active exertions of the citizens. The loss
is estimated at !55i2,000. It principally, we
understand, falls upon Messrs. Bates and
Dibble, who lixul contracted for the building
of Mr. Stewart’s house. They are enterpris

citizens, and tho public very truly sympathise
in their loss.— Democrat.

As when by chance we met!
I've on her gazed with fond delight,
And rapture on her charms—
And thought how happy I should be,
To fold her in my arms !
I’ve sigh'd to think this lovely flower,
So soon must pass away ;
That’s like the blushing rose of spring,
So subject to decay !
I saw a stream that flow’d -along
Sequester’d thro’ the shadp-
And with its dimpled course compar’d,
This chaste and lovely maid.
As wintty age steals on apace,
That carries along so fleet— 1

Of those who whisper’d tales of love,
Was one she did admire—
For e’en their constant them* was love,
And love did both inspire.
They pass’d the time nor knew* ofcare,
As health their joys prolong—
And by a winding stream they liv’d—
That flow’d so soft along,
And prompt they were to chase away,
Obtrusivo worldly cares— .

facilities in our power. Macon is destined to bo
the redeeming genius of Savannah.
