MACON IirSSARS.
Ths newly constituted company of Cavalry,
ivir, will he disappointed in their orgnniza
n,t least for sometime to come. Application
is recently been made to the Executive ior the
■cessary arms and accoutrements; and we regret
|Say as that branch of the government did, that
Company cannot be supplied, because the
• te hr. 1 no arms suitable for cavalry exercise,
present, in the arsenal.
Thus circumstanced, a few evenings since, the
oir jn y held a meeting, further to deliberate on
course to be pursued. Expecting that the
taUwould soon supply herself with so necessary
liicnce, it determined to await the probabili-
C olsuch an event.
I not otherwise obtained, immediately, we
anno doubt, the Legislature will, among its
jricst deliberations, lake this state of things in
i consideration, and provide according to the
Lg in the case, and the wants of the people.

CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS.
Many names arc suggested as candidates for

ittwit resignation as a representative to Congress
iom this state. Among the names, are—
f Charles E. Haynes , of Hancock.

will cost the state. About the 12th or loth of
next month, 'die returns from the different coun
ties will be officially investigated, and Mr. L. j

the State of Georgia. Proclamation will then
immediately issue, giving twenty hays previous !
notice, for the election of a successor to fill the I
I vacancy which his elevation to the Executive
Phair has created in the Congress of the United i
i

before the result is known, and the successful i

services, for the first eight or ton days of the i
session—a session of higher importance to the i
people of Georgia, than any which has preceded j
it sincethefoimation of the Federal Constitution, j
la addition oth: i, 50,000 voters arc invited to
the polls, at a season when their time and indus- !
try arc tnoro valuable to them than at any other
period ot the year. Estimating the loss of time,
and the incidental expenses which they and the
government must incur, it is low to compute the
amount at 50 cents per man, which will take out
tithe pockets of the people of Georgia, equal to
'•ho trilling nuta of twenty-five thousand dollars!
And this is patriotism! to be deprived for "a week
or so, of the services of a Representative in Ct>n

“AiAIL HUFFEUS.M
It is a melancholy reflection, and one which dis
plays the depravity of our nature, in the most
odious light, that a Court of Justice, is too fre
quently made, unconsciously we hope, not only
too punisher of crime, but the scourge of inno
cence. The case with which a jury’ may he pack
ed, or a witness bribed, must be known to every
one familiar with judicial history. The property
of the honest and industrious man, and the life of
the guiltless and irreproachable in character ai.J
conduct, are often subjected to the sinister, ma
lignant,and sanguinary machinations . f legalized
scoundrels, who have enough jjf ingenuity and
address to hide their delinquencies from tbs glam
of public observation, and sufficient of money or
tad, to command the services of such of the pro
fession, who would uot. hesitate to break down
every barrier cf justice and humanity, so thev
could “ build their greatness on another’s ruin!”
The foregoing reflections were elicited by the
following observations of a late London paper. 1
It relates to the introduction into their Courts, of'
a class of the most despicable wretch es, that ever i
disgraced or polluted the sanctuary of justice. <
The refinement of Nero in the invention of cmel
punishments, dees not exceed in moral turpitude
and outrageous iniquity, the system of oppression
ami chicanery which the “ Buffers” have estab
lished to “ shove by justice.” But let the article
spe..k for itself:
“The new alterations which are about
to take place, by order of the Courts of
King’s Bench am! Common Pleas, re
lative to the justification of bail and oth
er- matters connected with arrests for
debt, will require, in the opinion of men
of great professional experience, to he
acted upon with great caution. The old
rule of Court, which compelled defend
ants who hired hail to pay the costs of
opposing them, if they were rejected,
checked in some measure the neiariou
system, the mischievous effects of which \
were only known to those attorneys who
had the vexatious and disgusting tafik of
inquiring and sifting into tiie various
names and character of the persons offer
ed as bail, and living by that sort of
traiilc. The public are not aware of the
iniquity practised in the Bail Courts du
ring the Terms, nor of the conspiracies
concocted to procure the liberty of swin
dlers. At the last Bailey Session, three
buffers’ bail were convicted of having at
tempted to obtain the discharge of a
prisoner confined in the Fleetprison, and
sentenced each of them to imprisonment
for twelve months In the House of Cor
rection ; and a few Sessions ago a fellow
was transported for fourteen years for
perjury, in giving bail for a defendant.—
it is understood that the Judges wii! or
der that the name, residence, and occu
pation of every person becoming bail he
published on a list, and placed in the 1
several Courts of Justice during the
Terms, so that attorneys ami clients may j
refer to it. This will, no doubt, to ui
certain degree, have the effect uf inter
fering with the schemes of the buffers.
During the last term, one fellow who
had been an innate of a prison nearly
twelve months obtained his release by
tiringout his creditors and not by “white
washing for ho knew that the Insolv
ent Act would spoil his trade of bail buf
fing, and a fortnight afterwards justified
bail in an action lor although he
had been a few days before asking chari- 1
ty. In another case, the nafitc of a buff- j
cb was given in as bail in an action for:
lfiOl, and lie described himself as ajew-j
oiler. The attorney for the plaintiff, up- j
on inquiry, ascertained that the bail had!
been lately released from prison by means
of the Insolvent Act, that be had beer,
imprisoned under the description of a
scale-make, and while in prison obtain
ed a scanty living from a menial oiiicc;
which he held amongst his brother prrs-j
oners. This buffer was afterwards
proved to be, always in readiness to swear
to any matter, either as a creditor, un
der a fraudulent commission of bankrup
cy, or bills of exchange, to sway tiie
choice of assignees, t> an alibi, recog
nizance, or character at the Sessions, or
to make affidavit of debt to any amount to
! arrest u party for the purpose of keeping
J him out of the way if he happened to be
| a witness against a gaming-house r.rbro
thel-kcepcr, and thereby stop the course
‘ of justice.
It is mucl; regretted by the respectable
attorneys, that professional then can easi
ly be found who most readily bind tfiein
selves to transactions of .so scandalous a
nature, and proceed with as much alacri
ty against men. upon whom their clients
have not the most remote claim, as a
gainst those who have, contracted bona
Jide debts. . .
'i he Law Commissioners have, it is
said, a measure in contemplation, widen
will relieve the Courts Law, the Judges
Chambers, the Commissioners ol Ilaiik
! rupts, and the profession at large, li'om
| conspiracies of the sort \vc have tlc
i scribed.
| The fellow who i.i represented us hav
ing s tated himself to be a jeweller, but
! who also appeared on the part of a scale
! maker, is now tending anti named as
jhail in an action. Some suspicion hav
-1 in?- been excited as to the accuracy, ol his
1 descriptionoi himscH. the Judge oion*
that \\v' case slmald stand over until
the officer of the prison in which lie was
confined be examined upon the point of
his identity.
Some days ago a man made affidavit
that he saw a sum of money for which an
action was "brought, paid. The attorney
for the opposition party knew well that
he had a buffer to deai with, and at once’
threatened to indict him for perjury. In
apprehension of the consequences, the ;
hoffer acknowledged that lie had been!
paid the sum of 7s. 6d. lor the bit of per-;
jury, but he really thought there was no i
harm in it, as the inan who paid him
wanted the money very much, and lie j
whom it was intended to defraud was very
well able to afford the expense.
The case of a person who is a witness
against a notorious gaming-house, and j
who was arrest 1 a short time ago for |
no less a sum than 7001 , by a party*!
whom he had never seen, avid with whom
lie had never had any dealing, in order j
that lie might he. prevented from giving
evidence, is now under investigation,
anil will shortly appear before the pub

E r tract from the Presentments of the Grand Jury
of Scriten County Superior Court, October Term.
“ Recent circumstances in the South, render'll
important, at this time, that a watchful eye should
be kept, not only on our interests in a certain spe
cies ot property, but also to the personal safety
of ihe community in which we live. In our own.
county much excitement has recently existed in
relation to supposed insurrectionary movements
among our colored population, and it is feared
that a portion of our brethren of the North and
East, have been active and instrumental in excit
ing these deluded being3 to the premeditation of
acts of violence and bloodshed. This belief is
warranted by a string of impolitic and dangerous
resolutions, offered by John liiuns of Pennsyl
vania, at a meeting lately held iii Philadelphia,
the substance of which was the suggestion of a
scheme to liberate the slaves of the south; in fur
therance of which measure it was proposed to re
commend < lon gross to apply the surpii* revenue
of the United Mates, after paying oil' the national
debt, to the purchase and liberation of southern
slaves. Wo cannot but present these resolutions, 1
as a movement prolific of danger and mischief to
the people of Georgia, in common with those of
the other states of the south, and fraught with
consequences which no good citizen would wit
■ingly produce—\ve also present their mover,
John Binns, whom we have previously known
with no advantage to himself, .as a covert, and
therefore a dangerous enemy—as a criminal who:
is a 1 olio protected from the capital penalties of
our laws, by his absence from the jurisdictional j
limits of the state of Georgia. Wc seriously-and
respectfully recommend to the citizens of Geor-;
gia, and more particularly to those of Neriven !
county, to be diligently alert in relation to the do- ;
licate and important subject we have-just referred
to, and strictly to enforce the patrol jaws of the
state, for the protection of tiie persons and the
properly of our citizens,”

H’tlkinxon Count;/ Superior Court, October Term.
s “ VVe are aware that some evils exist wilt
which we have to labor under in common witn
many of our .Jeter slates, ta-wit : the tariff laws
passed by Congress .slice the year 181 6, and es
pecially, the tariff of AM. To.be taxed and op
pressed for the exclusive l> meat of the manufac
turing interest ot the North, we considerunjus!
| and unconstitutional, anti to have onr earnings ta
ken from us, and bestowed on a more favored part
of the union, i-, in the opinion of this body, de
grading and oppressive beyond ail forbearance
and toleration. VVe, however, look and hope to
see tho time when the Last and West, North and
South, will mutually harmonize and he content to
render equal and impartial justice to each other.
Wo can but hail with pleasure, and hope to see
the time .when every possible effort that can well
be constitutionally made to prevent the cause of
discontentand murmuring-, which so unfortunate
ly prevails in oureouniry. The Free Trade Con
vention, now in session in Philadelphia, will, we
anxiously hope, have the desired effect; and that
Congress will render just retribution untoman by
a modification of the present tariff, so as to do
equal justice to all.
“ We request oar senator and representatives ir
the next legislature to use and exert their bust in
fluence to procure if possible, an instruction by the
legislature, to our senators and representatives in
Congress to defeat, if possible, the rcucwal of the
charter <f tho Dank of tho United States as
we deem it unconstitutional and inconsistent with
the well being of our country to have so much
power placed in the hands of any body of men
so far from the reach and eont.oul of the people,
as is in the hands of that Institution.”
Extract from the Presentments of the Grand fury
of Hancock Superior Court.
“ The Grand Jury, deeply impressed with the
importance of education, recommend to the mem
bers of the next lelagislaturc from this county, to
take such measures, as may induce that body to
inquire into the expediency of repealing the law
ol the last legislature, so far as to exempt the
Gold Mines in that part of Georgia now in pos
session of the Cherokee Indians, from distribu
tion by Lottery; ami reserve them to be applied
exclusively, at some future time, as the Legisla
ture may direct, to the education of the poor. Tim
Grand Jury beg leave to say—
-Ist. That allowing the land lottery system to
be the true policy of Georgia, the great deposits
of the precious metals found in the Cherokee
country, or a part of it, would place those who
may have land drawn upon a very unequal, am’
advantageous footing with those who have al
ready dratyn land in former lotteries.
2d. That the Gold Mines, if disposed of by lot
tery, must of course fall into the hands of those
who are already wealthy, or speculators, who
will procure them in many cases by the grossest
fraud.
Ud. That the greatest majority of the people
cannot be beneStted by this great State treasure,
so surely, as by using it for the extension of edu
cation to the poor. They say confidently, that by
education you will exalt the moral character of
the great body of the people; you will enable
thoin to understand their rights & preserve them,
you will bring into the service of the State, in all
time to come, the native talent of its people ; and
you will take the only means of placing the rich
and poor upon unequal fooling iu this our happy
country-
Protest of the Minority.
The undersigned, constituting a minority ofthe
Grand Jury, beg leave respectfully, but firmly, to
protest agamst so much of the foregoing present
ments as recommends the reseivation of the Gold
Mines in tin? Cherokee oonntry lor public purpo
ses, on the following grounds :
First. That under the Colonial Government of
Georgia, the public lands were distributed by
gift or grant only.
> Second. That fromtho establishment of Ame
rican Independence, until the compact of 180‘J.
with the Federal Government, there was no es
sential departure from the abovemetgioned prin
| ciple.
llnrd. That trom the Treaty of FortWilkin
snn. up tothe present day, the distribution of the
public lands by lottery has been a change only of
t.ie mono, but not f principle of distribution.
lourth. That by an act of the legislature, du
ring the session of the Legislature in 1839, the
gold mines in Carroll and elsewhere, which had
ooc.il previously reserved to the State, were sur
rendered to the persons who had drawn them.
I ittli. Becauss we hold as truth the declaration
ot Governor Gilmer, in his message to the legis
"re. f the opening of its last session,—
That the great object of the Stab , in the appro
pna ! i oi its iands, is the increase of its popula
tion, and the excitement of its people to industry
and the accumulation of wealth. The lottery
system which has been hitherto adopted, is be
lieved to have been better calculated to attain
these ends than the disposition by public sale. In
an unimproved country, whom capitalist scarce,
interest high, and every trade and employment
demand labor and Wealth, the surplus rrmney in
the possession of the people can he expended
more usefully expended by them in improvin'*
their lands and otherwise adding to the riches of
the country, than if drawn from them to be placed
m the public treasury. It hasatways been found
more difficult to restrain improper expenditures
arising from a full treasury, than to obtain thro’
too powers which belong to the government the
means which may ho really required for public
ser\ u os. \\ edo not consider argument neces
sary to prove the applicability of the fore-ming
declaration either to the present question or to the
present condition of the people of Georgia.
Sixth. That there is no security that the fund
arising from such reservation would I><* properly
employed for the purposes proposed by the pre
sentment, and in suppport of this position, we
would point to the useless and wasteful expendi
tures heretofore made without any corresponding
benefit. * &
Seventh. Because such reservation would ne
cessarily give rise to a swarm of officers for the
management of the mines, who, if they should
discharge their duties with fidelity to the public,
must necessarily be supported at the public ex
pense, or it the State -should, to avoid such ex
pense, lease out or sell the mines, the system
would he calculated in either view to make the
rich richer, and the poor poorer. In conclusion,
we believe such reservation would tend, not to the
benefit of the great body of the people, hut to the
encouragement ami advantage ofa “purse proud”
aristocracy.

UPSON COUNTY.
The Macon Telegraph of tiie 22d inst,
says, “strong reasons exist for believing, that,
in the last few days, a caucus has been held at
MillcdgcviHe with the view of expelling from
office and power such leaders of the Troup
party as have dared to express disasatisfaction
at the policy of Governor Gilmer and declin
ed subscript ion to the new ultra principles.”
—That paper then goes on to name individ-.
•mis who were (as it says, )nominatcd at this
imaginary caucus to fill Mr. Lumpkin’s place
in Congress, ar.d for Judges for several of the
Circuits. No such conclave or caucus has
come to our knowledge, and we are confident
tliut none such has been held. The cbject
for stating that thorc had been in this place a
meeting of thi3 kind, is readily perceived.
H our political opponents can, bv means fair
or foul, create distrust and dissention among
; the Troup party, they will profit, as they have
; done already, by its divisions. Will onr
j friends allow this? If they do, all hopes of
j preserving the integrity and efficiency of our
party will he at an end. For once we may profit
by the example which the Clark party has
set us. Their papers inveigh strongly against
caucuses or political conclaves, but the. Clark
leaders feel no scruple about holding such
meetings themselves whenever unity of ac
tion is required to censure their success; and
if the Troup men do not pursue the same
course,they will scarcely ever he able tocon
ccntrate their strength U3 their opponents do
in ahnofc. every instance. —Southern Record.

Charleston, October 21.
Cotton The receipts of Upland Colton of the
new crop continue very sm .11, and the stock of
old Cotton in the market fur sale is very light,
consequently the transactions of the week hi the
article have been trifling. The sales amount to
only a little over 100 bales at tl a Bj, and a few
bales very prime at Bji ; and about 120 bales new
crop at 0 a 9J, principally at*'.) cents.
Groceries —During the week there was, for the
season, a fair business dqne with country mer
chants, yet the sales by importers were very light.
A lew small sales of Sugar and Coffee were made
at about old rates. Two lots, comprising 200
bills, and 24 hlids. New-Orleans Molasses, were
sold at 30 a32 cent®. Domestic Liquors are ra
ther scarce, particularly Whiskey, and a few
small lots were sold from store at 28 cents for
hbls. but by any considerable quantity it would
command more than our quotations, viz: 314 a
35 for hlids. and 30 a 37 for bbls.
Freights —Cotton to Liverpool continues at 4d

t pIUS paper has been in operation for six
months; and from the extensive patronago
which has been enlisted in its behalf, during that
brief space ot time, the Editor flatters himself
that his efforts have not been altogether unaccep-i
table to the public.
1 he Advertiser embraces the followin'* dr-,
partments: '*>
1- ksirat and General Politics ; and hero its in
scription is, “ Andrew Jackson—and the Righ'sof
the State*, and the Sovereignty of the States
2. Agricultural Pursuits— so far as they rt Into
to Southern culture. In this department, all tho
facilities which our best periodicals afford, will
be used.
3. General Intelligence, Morals, and Polite Lite
rature—in all of which, a strict regard is paid to
correctness and taste.
4. Commercial Xotices — including the state of
our market, and of such others, as may be inter
esting to our Planters and Merchants.
Gif’ During the ensuing session, which must
involve subjects of high interest to tho State •
Georgia, arrangements will be made to report t.K
proceedings of the General Assembly, in time for
their earliest reception in Macon. This will eu ■
able the Advertiser to diffi.se 'he deliberations of
that body, with mere-than ordinary celerity.
iff' Post-Masters throughout the State arc so
licited to act as Agents fir the Advertiser, f.:
which an adequate commission (to percent.) will
be allowed for every subscription tliby procure,
accompanied by the cash.
