Messrs. Editors: Ai the request of sev

county, (Heard) you will please give the
■ubjoined ticket a publication in your paper:
Smite —Wm. B. W. Dent.
Representative— M. C. Scmmerliic.
is oftentimes very useful for the con- s
doctors of the press, as well as partisan poli
ticians, while engaged in the fierce conflict of
party warfare, to pause awhile, and, like the
tempest-tossed mariner, take an observation
see where they are, an l what position in the
politic *1 field they at present occupy.
A political party, to he successful and per
manent, must he guided by fixed principles,
and an unflinching consistency. Without
these no party can long retain the confidence
and support if an intelligent and vigilant peo
ple. The press and the leading men of a
party, before they will be followed by the
people, will be required to prove their de
votion to principle by their acts and not by
empty declaration. They will be required
also to show lint their principles accord with
the Constitution, and have for their aim the
interest and happiness of the people.
Whenever we find the p'ess and the leading
men of a party disregarding the Constitu
tion,and by their acts flatly contradicting their
professions; and when we see them exerting
themselves to carry their adheren’s in a way
inconsistent with their former principles, and
dangerous to their interest and happiness, it
Is high time for us to begin to watch their
movements and to ascertain where their lead
will carry us. We are led to these remarks
by watching the course of the State Rights
press in Georgia, and by the stand which a
large number of those who exercise an influ
ence over that party have lately assumed
upon a most important subject (at least to
the South) now prominently before the Ame
rican people. The position which the entire
State Rights press in Georgia, together with
a number of the leading men, now occupy on
the subject of the final separation of the mo
ney of our government from the coders of
banks, shows a wilful and total abandonment
of principle, and, as we think, a reckless dis
regard of the interests and happiness of the
whole Southern people. To arrive at this,
let us enquire a little into the history of that
measure. Let us see who were the men
and to what political party they belonged,
who, no longer ago than 1834, supported
this divorce of the revenue from the control
of the banks. The fallowing extract from a
speech of the Hon. John C. Calhoun, deli
vered in the Senate at the session of 1834,
we think, will some light upon this
subject :
‘ So long as the question,’ said Mr. Cal
houn, ‘ is between a Bank of the United
States, incorporated by Congress, and that
system of banks which has been created by
the will of the Executive, it is an insult to the
understanding to discourse on the pernicious
tendency and constitutionality of the bank of
the United States. To tiring up that question
fairly and legitimately, you must go one step
farther. Ymi must divorce the Government
and the banking system. You must refuse all
connection with the banks. You must neither
receive nor pay away bank notes. You must
go back to the old system of the strong box
and of gold and silver.’*
Here we find Mr. Calhoun, the acknow
ledged head, the Magnus Apollo of the State
Rights pirty, advocating, with his accus
tomed zeal and ability, the necessity of a to
tal separation of the Government from al|
connection with the banks. Again, early in
the same session, we find that Roger L*
Gamble, well known to our readers as one of
the leading men of the Nullification party in
Georgia, and at that time a delegate in Con
gress, moved an enquiry into ih * practicabi
lity of dispensing with hank agency in the
fiscal operations of the Government; and
another member of the same parly, (Gen.
Gordon, of Virginia,) proposed what is now
called the Sub-Treasurv Scheme, in a bill
which he introduced at the same time in the
House of Representatives. When the vote
was taken on this bill, where were the Nulli
fiers found ? Did they oppose it ? No, very
far from it. There were thirty-three votes in
favor of the measure, including every Nulli
lifier in the House. It is well known, also,
that Mr. Condy Raguet, the then famous or
gan of the Nullifiers, approved this scheme,
and advocated its passage with
and great ability. Thus we see, ihafrfs late
back as 1834, the present vital plan fcf sepa
rating the Government and the banks was a
measure advocated hv the Nullifiers, and that
to ?. man they went to sustain it. How do
we find them now ? Let their entire press in
Georgia speak. Let Mr. Dawson’s late vote
against the hill speak. Let the toasts of
many of their leading men on the 4th iust.
speak.
It is not to he denied or disguised that, so
far as these give an indication of the inten
tions and feelings of that party, we jpay now
salelv set them down as enemies to the mea
sure, and justly liable to the charge of a wil
ful abandonment of principle, amfa total dis
regard of the interests and happiness of the
Southern people. It is true we now and then
hear it said (faintly said) that sonic of the
Stale Rights candidates lor are
friendly to the divorce; but to our minds the
opposition of their entire press, and the late
vote of Mr. Dawson, together with the open
and declared hostility of many of the leading
men to the measure, make it very plain that
they are not to be relied on.
We take it for granted that a majority of
the Stale Rights party of Georgia will go for
a National Bank, and for Mr. Ciay as Presi
dent. One or the other of these measures
(divorce or bank) must and will be adopted
in the end. Already it is said and believed
that Mr. Dawson, a native-born Georgian,
and a member of the State Rights party, and
now a delegate in Congress, elected by that
party, and a candidate for re-election, has
avowed his predilection for Mr. Clay for
the Presidency. Mr. Dawson, a southern
man, and an adherent of the old Crawford
party —the famous radical party —wlr*se
pride and boast was ever a rigid and literal
devotion to the Constitution, going for Mr.
Clay for President, the hired advocate of an
overshadowing National institution, unwar
ranted by the Constitution, and which, if es
tablished, will hind the South more and
in adamantine chains to Northern and
Western credit ! Mr. Clay, the cold-blooded
father of the American System—the abomi
nable tariff— by which the hard earnings of
the Southern people were taxed to minister to
the insatiate avarice of Northern and West
ern rapacity ! Mr. Clay, the acknowledged
candidate of the hellish gang of abolitionists
throughout the country, whose only aim is to
deprive us of our property guaranteed to us
by the sacredness of the Constitution, at the
sacrifice of our lives and the lives of our help
less women and childen !
It well becomes the duty of the rank and
file of the State Rights party of Georgia to
pause awhile and see where they are, and
upon what kind of a coast their leading men
are carrying them.
To the Union party generally, hut espe
cially in the Coweta and Chattahoochee Cir
cuits, we say, be on your guard—be united—
be firm. You have every thing to encourage
you ; your professions are redeemed by your
actions; your principles are sustained by the
Constitution of your country. The aim of
your press, and the wishes of your leading
men, have for their object your interest and
vour happiness. Your candidates for Con
gress have nothing to conceal ; they see and
feel the necessity and importance of a final
divorce of our Government from hank mono
poly; they are united and pledged upon that
subject. Your candidates profess no political
fellowship with Henrv Clay ; no friendship
for a grand National Bank, to be located at
the North, to make us more the hewera of
wood and drawers of water than we now
are ; and, above all, they do not unite with
the abolitionists in their support of a man for
President who has, upon all occasions, shewn
•himself alike a foe to our principles, our
sts and our happiness. f
Almost every mail brings us letters com
plaining of the non-reception of our paper
on routes where the mail is regularly esta
blished, and runs without fail! As we have
before stated, on several occasions, our pa
pers are regularly mailed at the Post Office
in this place, wrapped in thick, stout paper,
and well tied with good strong twine, and
properly directed besides; the fault must
therefore rest with the Post Offices along the
different*routes; and, as we have suffered
greatly by such negligence, we are deter
mined henceforth to ferret out those offices
thus careless, and expose them to the public,
as well as rejwwt them specially and particu
larly to the Post Master General. Com
plaints were made to us from White Plains,
Greene county, that our paper did not arrive
there oftener than once in four or five weeks,
and on enquiring respecting the P. M. at that
place we were told, by a highly respectable
and responsible gentlemen, that the said P. M
was a negligent, inattentive man, totally un
worthy to fill an}’ office of trust. We call
lor his removal.
LOOK OUT FOR THIEVES.
A few niglits ago our fellow-citizen Mr. G.
B. Terry was robbed of about a hundred dol
lars, which was taken from his pocket-book,
by some light-fingered cl.ap, who took occa
sion, during the* night, while Mr. Terry was
asleep, to enter the house, the door having
been left open lor the purpose of obtaining a
free circulation of air, and gaining admission
to the sleeping apartment of Mr. T. without
awakening him, took his clothes from the
chair on which they were hanging, carried
them outside of the house, and rifled the
pockets.
This was no negro stealing; it was an act
so bold and daring as to leave no doubt of
its having been perpetrated by a white man.
The money stolen was all in small bills, most
ly change hills, and made a roll which had
the appearance of containing at least a
thousand dollars. Mr. T. states that during
the day he had occasion to display his pock
et-book frequently, for the purpose of making
change in the course of business in his store;
and there is no doubt but that some scoundrel,
lurking about with T view to discovery, fixed
his eye upon the treasure, and ‘ marked it for
his own.’
Our police should he more vigilant. We
mean by this that our police officers should
keep a sharp look out for rogues, rascals, and
thieves, of all sorts, sizes, and appearances,
with which sort ol cattle, there remains no
doutit, but our city is pretty well stocked at
1 his time. Idleness begets mischief. There
are too many men out of employment, who
are strangers in our midst, and apparently
without money. The question is frequently
asked, ‘How do they live?’ Expenses are
high here, and nothing can be had except lor
cash. It is then reduced to this, that a man
has to work or steal, unless he has an income
sufficient to support him.
Mr. Terry offers a reward of fifty dollars
for the apprehension and conviction ol the
thief.
Phrenology—Dr. Castle is at present in
this city, anil will lecture to-night at the Bap
tist church, on this interesting science. Dr.
C’s. office for private examination is in the
Oglethorpe House, No. 34. His lecture this
evening will be gratuitous.
GAIN AND ABEL.
A murder took place on the opposite side
of the river, near the town of Girard, Ala. on
Friday evening last, almost too horrible to
be given to a Christian community. The
circumstances were as follows: Two broth
ers, named Thomas and Hal Lucas, who had
been much in the habit of quarrelling, came
together under strong excitement, and Tom,
as was his frequent custom, being about
to flog Hal with a stick of some sort, the
latter drew a pistol and shot the form
er, his own brother, through the heart,
who almost instantly expired! We cannot
imagine thatjdegree of moral turpitude which
could nerve up a mans soul to the committal
of such a deed as that of taking away the
life of a brother! But murder stalks through
this land defying the law ami frowning down
its ministers.
FAMILY JARS, EH!
Mr. Editor of the Macon Messenger have
you read Col. Mark A. Cooper’s Sub-Treas
urv, Van Buren, Ami-Bank, address ? Guess
it aint a jar at all, at all—‘no more of that,
Hal, an’ you love me.’ By-the-hy, Mr.
Messenger, do you intend to make the Sub-
Trensury a test question ? Would, if it
hadn’t been for Mark Cooper—devil take the
fellow! Do with Col. Mark, Mr. Editor, as
we did with Col. Jabez —strike him off the
list, and write opposite his name, ‘discontin
ued for the present.’ Going to make the
Sub-Treasury a test question, eh? Too
much Van Burenism about it, eh? Can’t
stand Van Buren measures, if they are right,
<Ji? Clay anil his fifty million Bank suits
you better. Oh, shocking fellow, that Col.
Mark, arint he ? ‘ Save, oh save us from our
friends ! 5
STEAMBOAT LAW.
It will be noticed, with great satisfaction,
that Congress previous to adjournment pass
ed the 6teambont hill. We perceive that
one of the provisions of the bill for the pro
tection of human exposed life in steamboats
is, the liability of proprietors and companies to
a heavy fine for any neglect; and there is a
further provision making the bursting of a
boiler prima facie evidence of neglect.
These are very good laws, hut they do not
go far enough—are not sufficiently severe.—
The Penitentiary should be made to stare
those individuals in the face, who, having
charge of engines, helms, etc. would sacri
fice hundreds of valuable lifes through care
lessness, neglect, or unwarrantable risk.
THE CREEItfS IN THE FAR WEST.
A card appears in the Arkansas Gazette,
signed by B. Marshall. Interpreter , Roley
Mclntosh, Fush-hatchy Micco, and all the
principal Cniefs of the nation, denying, in
most positive terms, a report which had
gained circulation, in that country, to the
effect that the old women had been heard to
declare that as soon as the green corn was
ready to pull the whites would have to look
out, and that the red men were exceedingly
hostile, etc. It appears that all is peaceful
and quiet thus far, in that distant land; but
how long things will thus remain, 13 altogeth
er uncertain.
THE CHEROKEES.
By an officer of the army, just arrived
from the Cherokee country, we learn that the
Indians have been entirely removed from
Georgia and North Carolina, and are now in
Tennessee making ready with all despatch to
emigrate. The government arrangement,
therefore, after all, turns out to he both ex
pedient and prompt. No parley , Gigv. Gil
mer, the word is forward march.
The toasts from Upatoie, Lumpkin, and
Greenville, are still on our file, and we much
regret that our limits will not permit us to
publish them this week ; but our friends are
assured that their sentiments, given tfnd
drank on the 4th, shall have a place in our
paper. The same assurance is made to
our correspondents.
1 PULL DICK, PULL DEVIL.’
The Philadelphia Convention of Banks
have agreed to resume specie payments on
the Ist of August. O.d Nick voted against
the measure. Biddle was ever clamorous for
‘resumption’ until Mr. Van Buren proffered
the aid and influence of the Government, and
then he took the back track.

MONROE RAILROAD.
As many are not aware of the progressive
state of this road, and as an unfavorable im
pression has gotten possession of the minds of
some in relation to it, we have been induced
to obtain, and lay before our readers, the fol
lowing information, which may be relied on as
correct. Within thirty months from the com
mencement of the Monroe Railroad, hence to
Forsyth, twenty-five miles will be finished,say
by the first of November next, and a portion
by September. The iron for the whole road
is received, and a larure portion on the line,and
several miles of the superstructure already
laid. The first seven miles of this work is
very heavy, so much so, that visiters from
abroad express their surprise that so much
vv ;rk should have beeu accomplished in so
short a time, and so little said in reference
to it. The enterprise is not likely to stop
here. A survey has already been made be
yond Forsyth, twenty two miles, and a Rout
three miles located ; deeds for the right of
way having been taken to a considerable
number. We have also ascertained from u
questi med authority that it is the purpose of
the Company to meet the Georgia Road, and
form a junction with the Western and Atlan
tic Rail Road at the same time. These
facts place the milter in a different view
from that entertained hv some unacquainted
with tfe true state of things. And it is to be
hoped that the papers in the habit of noticing
Internal Improvements in this State, will
award to this Company the justice that is
their due. A more energetic body of men
we believe do not exist in any Company in
the State than those who have the superin
tend* tce of this Read.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMEN F.—NO. I.
In entering upon the discussion of this im
portant subject, i shall be governed by no un
worthy motives ; no feelings of prejudice
whatever shall give directum to a single sen
tence or word ; a calm and candid enquiry
mio the menu or dements of the various
questions which may be involved during tins
discussion will be made; and whilst 1 shall
attempt to expose ttioe imminent dangers to
winch the prosperity of ttie State, and the
interest and wet.are of the people may be
exposed, in the different plans or schemes by
which these important measuies of Intsrnai
Improvement may be brought into opera; ton,
I snail not fail to render lull justice where 1
conceive it is merited.
It may not be amiss to state, in the outset,
that ttie writer is a decided and zealous ad
vocate of Intel nal Improvement by the States,
and thinks the period has arrived which calls
for a genera l , though cautious and well di
rected movement, on the part of all the States,
m this great work ; much, therefore, depends
on beginning right; it selfish motives be per
mitted to govern ttie actions of men, in any
public undertaking, the execution < f the work
will at once be <liverted from its proper
channel, and the object ami end for wiiicii it
was designed completely frustrated.
I proceed to the division of my subject in
the order which billows :
1. The importance of Internal Improve
ment; the extent to which it should he car
ried ; the benefits winch may result from
a united action of the States, in favoring the
great object and end designed.
2. The best means by which this great
work is to be carried into effective operation:
A. Whether by the noble enterprise of in
dividuals, capitalists, or companies on their
own bottom.
B. By the States ffiemselves, independent
ly, making it exclusively a State enterprise, or
C. By pledging the faith of the State, in
making loans, tor the benefit of corporate
companies, under whose exclusive control
and direction the work is to be conducted.
Thus having distinctly laid down the va
rious heads from which ! design presenting
my views, l will conclude for the present with
the single remark that, I shall, as speedily as
my time will permit, endeavor to perlorin the
task which l have assumed, holding rnvself,
at all times, ready to defend any position
which I may occupy during the execution.
JACKSON.
For the Sentinel and Herald.
Messrs. Editors —As public opinion is
engaged in speculating on the subject of suit
able candidates to represent this county in
the next Legislature, and as a correspond
ent over the signature of ‘ Union’ his sug
gested a ticket, permit me, through your pa
per, to suggest the propriety of the formation
of a legislative ticket on other than party
principles. In doing this I will barely ask
what interests shall we, or do we consider
paramount ? If it is strictly of a political
character, then i would have no objection to
a ticket fomied on such principles. But what
question, political I mean, can be considered
in the next Legislature ? Ido not know of
any upon which the Legislative action could
have any direct influence. Is it. the distribu
tion of power, by conferring office? There
are but two judicial districts that, officers have
to be elected in. These are all the political
interests that are involved ; and if these he all,
are not the works of Internal Improvements
in contemplation, relative to our city, of
greater importance to the people of Musco
gee and Columbus than all the foregoing ?
If to procure and provide means for the pro
secution and completion of our railroad, or
other works of Internal Improvement, in
which we are all deeply interested, as we
most assuredly are, an l in the success of
which the interests of all will be promoted, is
looked upon of paramount importance, can
there be any doubt as to the proper course
to he pursued ? To accomplish so desirable
an end I would respectfully suggest that there
should he a meeting of the citizens of Mus
cogee called, at some early day, xoithout re
cord to party, and a ticket selected without
regard to party, of the most talented and in
fluential of our fellow citizens, that they
might he enabled to carry out the great ob
jects for which they were selected, being
clothed with the undivided confidence of our
whole community. If we ever expect to re
ceive any aid from Legislation now is the
time ; let us, at least for one day, unite, and
shoulder to shoulder, struggle in the common
cau e. Should there he such a ticket agreed
on—intending no disrespect to vour corres
nordent, or the gentlemen by him suggested,
I would, with due deference to the opinions
of others, suggest the names of Gen. Daniel
McDougald, for Senator, and Col. John H.
Howard and John L. Lewis, for Representa
tives. I think, should these gentlemen be re
turned toon* next Legislature, we might an
ticipate much from their united efforts.

situated half a mile west of the main Columbus Road
leading to the up country, and near about half wav be
tween Hamilton and Greenville. 12 miles from the for

boarded in the neighborhood and used it, the water is
believed to be strong!’ medicinal and salu'arv. The
water is sofi and pleasant in quality, readily soluble in
iie, and highly tonic and renova'ing in character, and
has been found specially adapted to dehili ated and
lang ishing constitutions. Its remedial effects are diu
retic. diaphoretic, and tonic. The vicinity is mountain
ous, and the atmosphere pure and invigorating. Ar
rangements have been made far the accommodation of
considerable company the present season which will
