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.

About the 12th or loth of next month, 'die returns from the different coun ties will be officially investigated, and Mr. L. j trill, there is no doubt, be declared Governor of the State of Georgia.

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!

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 lic.*’ 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,” Extract from the Presentment* tfthe Crenel Jury oj 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. From the Southern Recorder. Moots. Editors :—Can you give us any in formation with regard to the Convention of I eaciiers, to be held at . T i!ledgcvillc some tune in December! \\ e have seen nothing in tho papers respecting it for some time past. V.hut Las become of Mr. Cummins, who made the first proposition, and Mr. llrotvn, and others who sanctioned i; so readi ly? Are they willing that a Convention fraught with so much importance to the com munity ; tt large and the rising gcncr..lion in .particular, should he dropt and nothing more said with regard to it ? Certainly not. Let the subject he again agitated and it day pet a parl, say the fifteenth of December, when the convention shall meet m MillcdgcviHe, and let the Teachers in the different counties, or as in.-ay as feel iulerested,ineet at some con venient time and place, and elect a delegate to represent them. Something must he dime n.r.! that soon, lo drive from tiie profession “me old field plan ” which was adopted in ! ignorance and kept up for the want of better information. Any information in your, pos session with respect to that Convention will be thaukfuly received !>v the Teachers in 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. £)HIO ELECTION. The returns from tlm elections of Ohio, as for ns ascertained, are of a favorable cast. — The gain in some coustics heard from has been upwards of four hundred.

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.
