Previous to the passage of the bill in the House, Mr. Watson, of B ildwin, mov ed to strike out the word majority, and insert the odious word plurality, which would have given the power, as we have already said, to a 1 1 mill minority of votes to elect the Govern or, whenever there were inorethan two can didates. Fortunately tiro Republican party were in die majority in the Legislature, and the motion of Mr. Watson was rejected by a vote of 56 against 42. I.i 1821, the same bill finally passed both tranches of the general assembly, by consti tutional majorities; iii the Senate, by a vote of 17 against 9 ; in the House, by a vote of y;) against 10.

In 1823 a resolution Was adopted by the legislature, for ascertaining the sense of (lie ]! oplc in regard o the choice of elec tors of President and Nice- President of the baited Stated. According to this resolution, the voters in 1831 were requested to endorse on the back of their tickets the inode they preferred for choosing those officers, whether by the “People,” or by the “Legislature,” os formerly. As there was a majority of 10,799 for choosing electors by the “ People,” a bill was introduced and passed at that session, meeting the' wish of the citizens in that re gard. Before the final passage of the bill, as it stands in our statute book, the odious principle of plurality was attempted to be in corporated in it, by Mr. Burnside, of Colum bia, a Clark man. He wanted that aplurali f'J instead of a majority should decide the election, placing it in the power of a small majority of the people, when there were more candidates than two, for each office, to choose the President and Vice President of the Uni t'd States. The proposition of Mr. Bufn fciila was rejected by a vote of 60 against 3.3. riie only consolation wo can give to the editors of the Federal Union, respecting the subject of these remarks, is, that Governor t.iark, in his mesaago to the legislature, of onvcmborS, 1623, suggested the propriety of an alteration of the constitution of the of Georgia, so as to give the election of ■governor directly to flic people, and the pas ►ageof a law, giving to the people, the choice d* l electors of President and Vice Presdent of the United, DISSOLUTION.

The mooting of the people of Chatham county at the Exchange yesterday, held in pursuance ot too resolution to that effect. . passed on Monday the 18th iust. was large ano respectable. The report of the Commit tee having been road, the meeting was ad- I®, Judge Wayne in a forcible and' lucid exposition of the many facilities pre sented by the topography of our State, for communiaations between the interior and the seaboard, by means of roads and canals; and urging the necessity of early and vigorous in---as.ires to prevent the diversion of our trade toother , laces, and to secure to Georgia the benefits of her own enterprize in her increas ing population and agricultural wealth. J he ( itizens of the County of Chatharn’e gain assembled at the Exchange in the City ot Savannah, on Monday the 25th inst. pur suant to notice from the Chairman, for the purpose of acting upon the Resolutions of Jr doe Wayne and War. B. Bullock, Esq. adopted by the meeting of Monday last. Mr. Barclay Irom the Committee appoint ed at the lufoting of Monday the iust. made the following report, which was unan imously adopted:— Report of the Committee, appointed by a Resolution of the Citizens of Savannah, (at a meeting held inthatcity,on Monday, the 18th July instant,) to tane the subject of Internal Improvement into consideration, —to open correspondence upon the subject,— and tore port thereon generally,—and particularly as to the system to be referred, at the Meeting ot the People of Chatham County to lie held on Monday, the 25th July J 1831. Flic Committee as above stated beg leave respectfully to report: That, for the promotion of the objects of the said resolution, your committee assembled without loss of time, and have carefully delib erated upon the several matters committed to their consideration. They desire, therefore, under the general authority conferred upon them, and in conformity to the order of time, to submit to this meeting a few points, which appear to require vour immediate attention. Your Committee recommend!; that the ob ject be forthwith carried into execution, for the consideration of which this Meeting of the People of Chatham County wasrfoquested namely, the appointing of County Delegates, equal in number to the delegation in the gene ral assembly of the State, to attend a Conven tion, to be held in Eutonton, on the 4th Mon day in September next, in order to consult upon, and recommend, that system of Inter nal Improvement, which may be deemed best adapted to the State of Georgia,—to suggest the most proper locations for such improve ment, —and to devise means for carrying the same into effect. Your Committee also advise, that a Circu lar letter, —to be approved of by this meeting —to be signed by the Chairman and Secreta ry, and addressed to the Justices of the Infe rior Court, and to other prominent individuals —be forwarded to the different Counties of the State, urging them to appoint Delegates, upon the same principle, to attend for the pur pose above specified the Meeting at Eatonton; and the following form is reported for your approval; CIRCULAR. “ Savannah, July — th 1931. “Dear Sir, —At a Meeting of the People of County, held in the City of Sa vannah, agreeably to public notice, on Mon day, the 25th July instant, it was resolved to appoint Delegates from said County, equal in number to its Delegation, in the General As sembly, for the purpose of attending a Con vention, to be held in Eatonton, on the 4th Monday in September next, to consult upon and recommend that system of Internal Im provement, which may be deemed best adapt ed to the State of Georgia,—to suggest the most proper locations for such improvement, and to devise means for carrying the same into etfee.. You cannot but he aware of the important advantages which must result to tlm State, as well as to the Inhabitants, from a wise execution of the proposed objects. By the direction of the said Meeting of tiic Peo ple of Chatham County, we, the undersigned, address you this Circular, in their name, so liciting you to take prompt measures for con vening the People of your County, in order to lay before them the recommendation and re quest, that they will appoint Delegates from their County upon the same principle, to at tend for the purposes above specified the Con vention at Eatonton, under the persuasion that much benefit must be derived from mu tual counsel, and that union of measures can alone be the certain parent of success. “We have the honor to be, Sir, “Your humble servants, “ , Chairman. “ Secretary.” It is further recommended by your Com mittee, that the Council of Savannah be re quested to apply, from the city funds, the sum oifovr thousand dollars, to effect exam- I inations and surveys, by Engineers and other competent persons, with a view to unite the Western waters of the State with the Savan nah River, and, to secure the more effectual execution of such work, as well as every oth er desirable precautionary object connected therewith, your Committee strongly advise the appointment of a Permanent Committee, to whom shall he confided the employment of such persons as may lie required iu this initia tory stage of your projects, the assignment ot their duties, the charge and disbursement of any funds which may he voted, and the gene ral management of all matters intended lbr the advancement of the objects designed. The Committee arc convinced, that it was ! only expected ot them to report to this meet ing upon preliminary and preparatory meas ures, according to the oral explanations which took place when the time was s|>ccificd. The principal topics submitted to their considera tion, by the Resolution of the Citizens of Sa vannah, are of too great variety, extent, in* j tricacy, and impottance, to admit of any at j tempt to present a system in relation to them, jin so short a time, a# the intervals between ; the appointment of your Committee, and this i day : hut should it be deemed advisable to i continue a Committee for this purpose, they j would b'? able to furnish such information, in due season, as may assist in throwing light upon this inter -sting question, amf prov< ;tiicy would trust) both usolul and satisfacto ry. A. BARCLAY, Chairman. The following Resolutions were then oiii r od and passed : By Col. Williams — Resolved, That An thony Barclay, Thomas Young, Richard \V. Ilalx rshain. James M.AVavne and Win. B. Bullock, Lsqs. the Committee appointed at the last meeting he a permanent Committee to carry into effort the objects embraced in their rep >rf, in obtaining further information to be submitted to the Delegates, and in the employment of such persons as may be re quired to make surveys and designate routes; with power to fid vacancies in the Commit tee. By Judge Niciioll — Resolved, that the ( hairman with five persons to be nominated bv himself, be a Committee to appoint a Del egation to attend the Convention, proposed to be held at Eatonton, on the 4th Monday of September next. By Judge Wayne—Resolved, That the permanent committee request the President and Directors of the Savannah, Ogcechee and Altamaha Canal Company, toco-opcrate with the city of Savannah and county of Chatham, in tracing a route for a Canal or Rail Road from Macon to the Ogeechee. By Mr. Barclay — Resolved, That in case of the desired appropriation being made bv the City Council, the permanent committee he authorised to defray the expenses of tho Delegates out of that fund, to tho extent of S4OOO, or to devise any other means of raising the sum which may be required for that pur pose. FREE TRADE CONVENTION. 1 he following Resolution was then offered by Dr. Vm. C. Daniell, which was passed unanimously. Whereas it has been proposed that there shall be a meeting of the Friends of Free Frado, in the city of Philadelphia in the month of September next, to concert meas ures for reducing the onerous duties with w hich commerce and agriculture have been burthened, for the benefit of a minor inter est. And whereas, it is of vital importance to the prosperity of this State, that the present Tariff system of the Federal Government should be so amended as to encourage, rather than e: ban-ass the agricultural and commer cial enterprize of the country. Be it therefore Resolved, That this ineet ing highly approving the objects of the* con templated Convention of the Friends of Free Trade, appoint the Honorable John Mac pherson Berrien, Dr. John Gumming, Wm. Gaston, Robert Habersham and Alexander Telfair, Esquires, to represent the interests of this community in it. Be it further Resolved, That <hc Chair man of this meeting inform the above named gentlemen of their appointment, with • n ear nest request that they will discharge the du tu sto which they have been hereby called. Resolved, That the thanks of the Citizens be tendered to the Chairman and Secretary. The me ting then adjourned. WM. R. W \RLNG, Chairman. Levi S. !)"! vox, S< oh . MACON. Tf;lav, S iJsi’, FOR GOVERN!>It CCV The Superior Court, for the Flint Ci rcuit, commenced its sitting, yesterday iu this place judge Strong presiding. The docke tis so crowd ed, that, wo understand, the present Term will barely have time to make an impression upon it.- An adjourned Court, it is said, will therefore be called soon ’after the expiration of the present ses sion. No capital offences. RAIL ROAII AND ANTI-TARIFF conventions. Our fellow-citizens of Savannah have taken up the Eatonton “Circular,” with a promptitude and energy, suitable to the occasion. Let them per severe in the good work, and -all will he well.— We again earnestly invoke and beseech the dif ferent counties throughout the State, to take this matter in hand, without los3 of time. On this important occasion, we should like to scp the whole state so represented, that no aftoT complaints, such as, “ icc were not there” might arise.— Should they lose their suffrage in this praise-wor thy attempt to call the wealth, the enterprise, and the general resources of the Stateinto action, let it he put down to their own discredit —to their ovin passive, temporising and ruinous neglect. — The fourth Monday in Sc ( .teinber, proximo, is thetiino fixed upon for the meeting at Eatonton, which gives to the different counties sufficient time for the selection and attendance of delegates. In connection with the subject of the Hail-Road system, the election of delegates to the Anti-Ta riff Convention, in Philadelphia, is another con sideration of high importance, which could prob ably bo adjusted at the County Rail Road meet ings. In our last, wo suggested the propriety of each comity calling amecting and votingfor Rep resentatives to the Anti-Tariff Convention, equal in number to our congressional delegation. But, ns that convention is to take place on the 30th oi’ next month, and the Eaton tod Convention four day’s after, we have been convinced, upon more mature r,:| l('Uiyh that there is not time enough left us to pursue the mode suggested, without one or i the other of these Conventions materially interf’er ; ing, to their mutual detriment. To hold two sepgt i rate meetings at distinct periods, throughout the different comities, and then to make returns to I some central committee, whose duty it afterwards j would lie to declare the persons elected, would I take up much more time than intervenes between the present period and the ene fixed upon for the | Convention at Philadelphia. Indeed, it would j he a work of supererogation, as it is more than 1 ! probable that our representatives could not get i there in time to record their votes, much less to | participate in the deliberations of the assembly. I Under such circumstances, would it not then be better, that the different counties, should, at the I time they elect their delegates to the Eatonton ! Convention, also vote for delegates to the l’hila | delphia Convention, and make immediate returns ;to the Governor who, upon the final redeipt | thereof, he requested to proclaim as elected, the I nine individuals, (answering in number to our congressional delegation,) who may have the 1 highest number of votes. If there was lime suffi ' cient to pursue the suggestion of the county meet- I ing, as we first proposed it in our last Tuesday’s i number, it would bo more in consonance with i die sj int efoi-.r representative government. But. as there h. net, we lied better avail ourselves of the uext best mode which presents itself, than lose tho voire t four State in deciding upen a quote. tinn involving the dearest rights of her planters, her merchants, end her mechanics. YV liateve: ether counties nary decide npon in re.at'u n to this proposition, we think it would at i least be well for !Sib!> to ado; t it, at the meeting whit-lu is to take p;\.(v ia Macon on the 13th in stant. Hoeing, that thn views which we have taken cf the subject, will be acquiesced in, we beg leave to n commend to tho attention of our fel low-citizens the nomination of the following gen tlemen to represent them at the Anti-Tariii Con vention GEORGE M.

PRINCE, ALFRED IVERSON. more correspondence. ••T iio Moon has come too near the earth, and made men mad.” This is certainly an era of Epistolary writing. 1- irst, on the tapis, we have the Letters of Mr. 1 resident and Mr. Vice President, unceremoni ously dragged before the public by the latter dig nitary —then comes, ns a sequence, the correspon dence between the President and his Cabinet— and to “cap the climax,” the public is now inun dated with notes, billetdoux and diaries, from the members of the late. Cabinet. When, or where, this letter mania will end, would take a greater soothsayer than ourself to prognosticate. After the Ex-Ministers have got through with their d-s --plays, the endemic will no doubt seize upon the “learned Clerks” of the different Departments, and then the Press willgroftn indeed. Should the mania rage there, we shall be compelled, like the Fal staff, to cry out in an agony of des pair “An’ thou lovest me’ Hal, no more of that.” But badinage aside. \k e present to our rea ders this evening, a correspondence between Mr. Berrien, Ex-Attorney General, and Mr. Blair, Editor of the Washington City Globe, on the old subject of the late Cabinet difficulties. Since the publication ot this Correspondence in the Globe, Mr. Berrien Ims come out, in tiie National Intelli gencer, v. ith an address “7o the Public,” in which he introduces Mr. Ingham to sustain his assertion, that the dissolution ot the Cabinet was occasion ed by President Jackron’s attempting to regulate its social intercourse, through the medium of Col. R. M . Johnson. There is one tiling in the controversy which strikes us very forcibly, and | that is, the statement of the Globe, on the anthor ! ity of Col. Johnson himself, that the President, j instead of pursuing such a ridiculous and extrava ! gant course, did expressly disavow all and every | kind of interference in the social relations of the j then Cabinet, is it then probable, under surdi j circumstances, that Col.. Johnson would sacrifice | his veracity, to sustain the reputation of the Pres , ident ! The idea seems to us preposterous—even ! apart from the consideration, that it is not in foe J nature of things for Jackson to bend to such a de ! scensioiv. But truth ‘will out”—and it will not i be long, we think, before wo shall be enabled to ; satisfy the public mind on this unpleasant subject, i W o wot. id have given Mr. Berrien’s a ldress to jdm public, tiiis evening—bnt its great length corn j-pcls.us to lay it over until our next.

Some tune since *v r * Uozart, at present an honest Ull< * ,p^aslr ious plan f,J ' .’.ii'X bi‘ of Monroe conn fCsT ji Jj ty, bought a ticket in ►-y the Augusta Masonic V Y;./ Hall Lottery, which • I <J"’ W rrise of fe a 610,000.

This, consequently, delayed the payment of the prize, until a thorough investigation had tak en place, which resulted in the confirmation of Mr. C’s claim. After this Miss Fortune-a/c shower of silvery blessings upofi his head, Mr. C. (whose pecuniary circumstances be fore. had been rather restricted,) purchased a fine tract of land in Monroe, which he has since cultivated w itli invariable success. One of the crops of Cotton which he made after his purchase, was brought to this market, where, after hcing*ddtftfttMu[, it was pro nounced by some oi our experificccd merch ants —“ririrtr, irvNjfp,||” It had so turned very time w hen theriPwLss to b<pm exhibition of Premium Cotton —ofwnmrifact he was ap prised, but had not cultivated his Cotton with reference to such an event. v The gen tlemen who examined his parcels, seeing they were of a fine and peculiarly beautiful staple and well packed, recommended him, much to their credit, to exhibit them for the premi um, which was a handsome silver pitcher. lie did so, and obtained itt The fickle goddess as she is termed—(Mr. C. wc think would not stigmatize her with that ugly epithet,)—had not been sufficiently lavish of favors to her devotee. Two poor, hut w orthy young ladies, sisters, and relatives of Mr, C. residing in his neighborhood, who had nothing hut their industry to Support them, (a very valuable article, by the by, these hard times,) deposited in his hands five dollars, to buy them a half ticket in the Mil -1 edgeviUe Masonic Lottery,* which coinrnis , sion he punctually performed, and has lately had the pleasure of announcing to the young ladies, that their drawn ticket had realized, on Saturday last, (the Inst day’s drawing of the Lottery,) one half of the great Capital prize of thirty thousand dollars—the other half was drawn by the Lottery. Some there are, says the old adage, who are “born w ith golden spoons in their mouths” —this “may be, or may not he,” as Dr, Doubty isays,—but it looks very probable from the a bove authentic incidents, that Mr. C. must have been born with a bale of Cotton in one hand, and a lottery t-elect iti the other ! ! / We advise our friend Talm \n, if be wishes to get a reputation lbr good luck, to establish a branch ofhis office in Monroe, and get Co z yut, without delay, to preside over liis Tem ple of Fortune. * V\ e think we arc correct in stating that we (Ourself) sold the lucky number - to Mr. C’ozart, while we were associated with Mr. Rose. Mr. Hone, however, was the Agent of the Lottery, and roust have the gratification, as we presume he has, of having been an instrument in dispensing s large a fortune to the young Ladies. COII RE H PON D E N C K . The Epistolary favors of Timothy and Evelina Transit,although, at present, hut fancy sketches, are susceptible of soon becoming, it tho spirit of (lie times is properly fostered, grave matters of thet. Let a Rail Road from Savannah to this place be established, and any planter placed in -imilar circumstances, may with propriety write to his factor into Savannah, such a letter as ’flirts ; —or any kind hearted maiden, may in a I playful-humor, like Evelina, have a bean seated j by her side, penning a dedication in her album by. the nocturnal illumination of a Locomotive (Jar, going at the rate of twenty or thirty miles an hour. The rapturous wish of the Poat, that the Gods would “annihilate both lime And space, And make two lovers happy,”— would then be considered no longer extravagant. Evelina, we think, must have been glancing her brilliant eyes on the article front the Banner of, the Constitution, which we publish on our last page; and properly appreciating the influence of her sex, has patriotically exhorted them to rally around the standard of the Rail-Road. Now, for onr own poor particular, if we were a bonny and spirited girl of some fifteen or twenty, and had a gallant admirer who refused “to go” for Kail Roads, we would not only “Brain him with our fan,” but we would give him the “kick” direct. And, were we some lovely and considerate wife of j twenty five or thirty, We would tell the “Lord of” our “Creation,” ifho did not go into the meas ure, he might hereafter be his own cook, seam stress und laundress, —that he might buy as many obstinate mules, asses, oxen, horses, and pole boats, as he pleased, to transport his bales of mer chandise, his bales of cotton, his bushels of wheat and his bushels of corn; —and having told him this, we would again tell him, ho might sethiin self down contented at the end of tho year and 1 console himself with the reflection, that lie had not only reduced the comfort of his family, but; that he had also paid about five hundred per cent, i more for his transportations th-m be would other-! wise have paid, had not his “penny-wise and i pound foolish” notions deterred him from embark ing in the establishment of Rail Roads. FOREIGN. Our foreign news to-day is highly interesting. A sanguinary battle has been fought between the grand armies of Skrzynecki and Diobitsch. The former, it appears lias fallen back upon Praga, for the purpose, probably, of assuming anew and more favorable position, and not because lfe was beaten from the field, as it appears the Russians had sustained the greatest loss. The military movements on the part of Austria, indicate some thing of a war-liko character—and we should apt be surprised if our next advices announced foe commencement of hostilities between that power and France. In In-land, the distress among tha laboring classes is represented as unexampled. — See foreign head. Com itt (itt ir ett ions. For the Advertiser Macon, September 4, 1811. Mr. Jo ib Joins & Cos.

The reason I have not sent my cotton down sooner to meat it, was, I could not get it picked nut and cleaned. 1 got it all in town last night and it is loading on the 8 o’clock rail road train, and wall of course bo in Savannah by five o’clock this evening; so that you can have lime to sell it and meat the draft. 1 hoard last evening, that cotton had risen a lit tle that morning; but sell mine for what it will fetch. If I could not have got the cotton all out i would have sent the bailanco in corn, which they say brings a good price in Savannah. Yours to command, TIMOTHY TRANSIT.

Pa is here to take me home to Maeon; and we set off tomorrow; hut he must go by water sk far as Savannah for the benefit of las health which you know is very infirm. It may he seven or eight days before we land there; and after land ing on dry ground, the cars will creep along, they teii me at the rate of some twenty miles an hour. So that although not morg than 175 or 80 miles distant, it will be nine long hours after leaving Savannah before your disconsolate Evelina can have the inexpressible delight of sobbing out her extaeios on the bosom of her faithful friemj. Such a snail’s pace is dreadful to a person of any deli cacy of sentiment. Irithis part of the country, they travel at 30 and -10 miles an hour; and the op position lines would go much faster they say if allowed by law.

He has handsome eyes, though, that is a fact. I hope ho may come up from Charleston to see Father as he tells him lie will; just that you may see his eyes. I hate them, they look so impudent. I know you will like the pat tern for tight sieeves 1 sent you by Miss Jones.
