Editors: Ai the request of sev eral members of Hie Union parly of this 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.

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. I*'or the Sentinel and Herald. 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. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.
