\jG“ The Union friends of Muscogee are
reqoested to meet ai their place of nominating
legislative candidates, (the store of Capt. Jos.
Coleman,) near Spier’s bridge, on the Upa
toie creek, on next Wednesday, being the Ist

consented to prepare a suitable dinner for the
occasion, and several addresses may be ex
pected. We hope to meet as many of our
Union friends on that day as can conveniently
come out. editors.
TO THF. UNION PARTY.
It is a great and glorious principle which
binds us together, a principle no less sacred
thin that which engendered, created, and
doth perpetuate our freedom and happiness
as a people; a principle which was agitated
in the stormy days of the (evolution, and had
its consummation in the ever hallowed epoch
of ’76.
Tnis principle is hefore us in all the green
ness and purity of its youth, and in all the
luxuriance and glory of its manhood. Like
the sun in mid-heaven, the beauty and glory
of the day, so stands the principle of union,
elevated above our pathway of life, shedding
its brilliant rays in advance of our footsteps,
gleaming upon the darkness of our withering
prospects, and lighting us cheerfully onward
to the goal of peace and prosperity.
In all works where durability and strength
of structure is considered, it is proper and
essential that the purest cement should he
applied. So with a party which would form
itseif upon a solid foundation, and which
would essay to withstand the fierce tempests
of discord and collision, it must he hound to
gether by a common principle, united by a
kindred spit it, and sustained by a unity and
sympathy of feeling.
The cause which you have espoused, the
cause of Union , embraces all that has been
described above; and you, as the members
of that cause, are battling under the broad
banner of your country’s beacon-hope, and
should feel inspired by the breath of liberty.
The mantle of your revolutionary fathers has
fallen upon your shoulders, and beneath its
ample folds you should feel nerved and
strengthened for every opposing conflict.
Yo.ir cause is good, for it was purchased
with struggles, blood and death; and after
the battle smoke had cleared away, and your
ancestors had been buried, the form of a
Washington arose, clad in the habiliments of
political salvation, and placed itself brfore
you, the harbinger of hope and promise. His
laws were given—his precepts divulged—his
virtues imparted ; and the Union , based upon
bis gigantic efforts and holy principles, bids
fair to remain forever.
Democracy was the cardinal feature in the
system of our first General and President.
The wholesome doctrine inculcated by the
savior of America, both by precept and prac
tice, was contained in these few words: vox
populi , vox dei.
And do you not feel yourselves bound bv
every consideration of veneration for your
ancestors, and regad for your own peace
and prosperity, to adhere closely and vigi
lantly to the great principle of republicanism
which runs throughout the sacred Constitu
tion of these United States, and which marks
in broad characters the declaration of our
National Independence ? What stimulant can
we offer you in the 4 work of patience and
labor of love?’ 4 The Union must he preser
ved,’ was the declaration of that great and
extraordinary man, whose sun of l.fe is sink
ing behind the shades of his own Hermitage;
and where is the patriot whose bosom fires
with the love of country, who will not catch
up the dying strains of the hero’s song, and
swell it to earth’s utmost bounds !
In the ear of the Union party of Georgia
do we blow flie trumpet’s blast, and we would
that the sound might perforate every |eart
and startle every spirit. It is the day and
hour in which exertion must be made, and
the cry of ‘ Watchman, what of the night,’
should reverberate from post to post.
In carrying out the great and fundamental
principles of the present administration, it
well becomes every freeman to look to his
democracy, and see that it yield not to the
monopolizing spirit of the age— to his repub
licanisrn, and see that it he not tinctured with
the aristocracy of thrones and despots, —and
to his patriotism, and see that it lose none of
its lustre, as it shines amidst the brilliant con
stellation ol republics, empires, and worlds, for
‘ ’ Tis freedom’s banner waving o’er us.’
The Un on party of the South lias an im
mense weight of responsibility to sustain.
That great measure of divorce , which is to
cut off from the general government a multi
tudinous host of banks, vv.th all their corrupt
and pernicious influences, is to be maintained,
the fatal doctrine ol ‘abolition is to be uproot
ed in iis germ, and the deadly sirocco, nullifi
cation, is to be circumscribed within reason
able bounds. There is no time then for a
sentinel on the watch-tower of liberty to slum
ber. Let every independent voter lift his eye
upon the great scene betore him, and survey
its magnitude. Let the Union party bestir
themselves for every political conflict, whether
national or local, and the viciorv will be
theirs. Let Washington, Jefferson and Ma
dison he your file leaders—let a democratic
republican administration be your glorv and
your pride.

BRANCH RETREAT.
W* took a stroll, a few days ago, to the
garden and pleasure grounds laid off’ and
handsomely cultivated by our townsman Mr.
James, the proprietor of the City Hall. In
addition to one of the finest vegetable gar
dens which we have seen in this section o
country, there is superadded a great extent
of pleasure ground, affording lieautilul and
shady walks, ad*rned with romantic scenery
peculiar to this country. Permission being
given us to affix a name to this delightful
spot, by which it might hereafter be known,
we have been pleased to christen it ‘ Branch
Retreat,’ from the fact that a beautiful limpid
stream, which Wordsworth would have ren
dered classic by his fertile muse, winds qui
etly through the heavy shade trees which
overhang it, the gentle murmur of whose
waters almost imperceptibly Jead the mind
of the visiter to pleasing meditations; added
to this, the place affords a rare and most
agreeable retreat, on a hot afternoon, from
the dust and noise of a busy town. Those
who are fluid of recreation and sport will
also find there the ball alley, and the quoit
ground, together with such refreshments as
pleasure seekers usually desire.
‘ Branch Retreat’ is situated on the north
commons, directly at the head of Oglethorpe
street, and about one mile from the centre of
the city. Those who would spend a pleasant
hour should visit this beautiful place.
TRUE DEFINITION OF LOCO FOCOISM.
The advocates of equal rights contending
against the schemes of ihose who, too proud
or too lazy to work, are eternally contriving
plans how to make other people do it for
them—such as with banks, ostensibly created
to relieve the people, but truly to promote
the interest of the stockholders and directors-
Such as with railroads with banking privi
leges, demanding of the Legislature a law to
compel the State to issue bonds, and borrow
money to build the road for the stockholders,
and let them have all the profits. Opposition
to these schemes of trickery is called loco
fbcoism.
The Weather. —Thus far the summer,
from all accounts, lias been the hottest known
for many years. The papers North and
South, East and West, speak of the Ther
mometer ranging from 90 to 94° ; but we
get higher up into the steam than we have
read of as yet. On Sunday last the Ther
mometer stood at 102 in this city—it was
hung out under the shade of a tree, and per
haps the heat was somewhat increased by
reflection; but from 92 to 98 lias been the
average tor the last fortnight. The whole
atmosphere is a perfect steam bath.
Baths. —We announce, with pleasure, to
our friends who are fond of taking a bath,
that they can now he gratified by calling at
the Columbus Hotel. Mr. Sullivan, the pro
prietor of that establishment, has fitted up a
number of baths in genteel style, and jiersons
can be accommodated with either cold or
warm baths at the shortest notice.
SANS SOUCI.
A pumpkin of the mammoth order, mea
suring in circumference five feet and nine
inches, and about the same size around the
stem and bloom, was this day exhibited in
front of Mr. Kivlin’s store, the growth of Mr.
James’ garden.
The days of Mr. Van Buren are number
ed —vvritmg is seen on the wall—he has been
weighed in the balance and found wanting.
So says the editor of the Mobile Chronicle.
We have known many a weigh-master,
through sheer ignorance, to make an article
fall short in weight, when absolutely the dif
ference was the other way. Go down to
the foot of your class, Bill, you didn’t spell
that word right.
The man who sends his advertisement in
late has no right to complain if scynchaw is
printed handsaw. — JY. Y. Sun.
We think so two. —Boston Post.
We three. — JY. O. Picayune.
We four. ‘Go it boots.'— Sen. and Her.
DO” It is stated that Mr. Van Buren in
tends to visit the White Sulphur Springs and
the other watering places of Virginia, during
the present summer. —Lynchburg Virginian.
Wonderful to tell! What a piece ot in
formation !! The President of the U. S.
will visit the Springs!!! We wonder the
Virginian don’t forbid it.
Western Editors. — An editor of a country
paper tnus humorously bids farewell to his
readers :
• ‘ The sheriff is waiting for us in the next
room, so we have no opportunity to be pa
thetic. Major Nab’em says we are wanted
and must go. Delinquent subscribers you
have much to answer tr. Heaven may fur
give you, but I never can. D. I. o.’
Give us your hand, brother, you have our
strongest sympathies, and if you wish any
thing more we’ll just hand you over our

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. —NO. 11.
l*f. Importance of Internal Improvement —
extent to ichuh it should be carried — bene-
fits which may result from a united action
‘oh the part of the States in favoring the
great object designed.
We have enteied upon strange and por
tentous times—what they may lead to is yet
involved in the dark mists of futurity.—
* We are in the midst of a revolution,’ and a
strange one it is—we might say a rapid suc
cession of revolutions, so rapid that ere we
are aware rs the transition of one, we are hi
the midst of another, as opposite in character
as black is to white. But two short years
am> our country exhibited the most unprece
dented state of general prosperity ; its here
tofore dullest and obscurest parts shown firth
with a life and animation beyond ihe wildest
calculations. Money was so abundant that
hundreds were turned about with as much
ulib and carelesness as a aorporation shin
plaster ; in short, the whole nation was but
a oreat piper balloon, without ballast and
without rudder, sailing with every current,
and shifting with every wind ; while vet the
bawble was floating upon the breeze, and all
hands reposing in listless security, dreaming !
<>l the grand and magnificent speculations
which danced in fantastic charms before their
delighted visions, the awful ievulsion hurst
upon us, disclosing the astounding reality ol
a general and universal bankruptcy. How
sudden the change ! Men who had counted
their worth at millions, found themselves,
without a moment’s warning, millions worse
than nothing ! and the whole country, fimn
Ma me to Louisiana, presented tine genual
“Cene of distrust, contusion and devastation.
Thus terminated one of the most extraordi
nary revolutions which has ever yet distin
guished any age or country, either in point of
the splendor and magnificence which marked
its course, or the ruin which followed its close.
Barely had we lime, however, for a partial
survey of this general wreck of matter and of
men. ere we found ourselves in the midst of
another, not less general or powerful, hut, we
trust, more glorious than splendid. If then
we found ourselves sailing upon the ocean of
fortune, or rolling in the glittering array of
wealth, ba>king in the sunshine of ima
ginary prosperity, or reposing in volup
tuous parlors, and feasting in gorgeous pa
laces, whilst a yawning gulf was opening be
neath us its bottomless pits. Thank o<>d
we are now building upon a more durable
foundation—one that shall he as lasting as
the virtue of those whose genius laid it, or
the eternal fame that shall mantle the brow
of those who have the nerves to build upon it.
This indeed has been a revolution of strug
gling, man to mat., Greek to Greek, and still
the clamor of battle rings upon the ear.—
Many who had ensconsed themselves in vi
sionary temples, were at once swept avvav
bv the violence of the storm, vet a substantial
host, firmly planted upon a glorious soil, still
weathers the blast, firmly and securely ; and
now, when the lowering clouds eem to he
passing luggishly away, and the distant
thunders reverberating the last mournful
tidings of the sad catastrophe, we behold a
cheering rav, from a bright sun, bursting
upon us. and vet another revolution is dawn
ing hefore us, one which will, we would fain
hope, prove still more glorious, as it mav
crown with triumphant victory the noble ef
forts of that which is now passing from before
ns.
Tims, one important epoch has already
closed behind us, a second is swiftly passing
bv, while a third is opening hefore us. Amidst
the wild and speculative man a which cha
racterised the first, it is not to he wondered
at, when fortunes were made in an hour,
that the solid works of lasting prosperity,
which required time, patience and
hnce to accomplish, received so small a share
of public consideration ; nor is it more sur
prising that, during the second, so much apa
thy was still manifested towards this
ant work, when all the cry which saluted the
ear from every quarter, was ‘ save or I
perish.’ But in that which is opening before
us. we behold the genius of Internal Improve
ment standing forth in all the grandeur of her
captivating attributes. She overlooks the
universe, and, with a single glance, she anni
hilates time and space; she strides from the
mountains to the sea shore, and with the sin
gle motion of her magic wand, she level* con
tinents. Sncli is the bold spirit that is n<uv
to ride upon the wind and direct the energies
of man. May her inspirations he reasonable,
mild and wholesome, and the dispensations of
her councils he wise, sage and judicious.
Let us pnter upon the first ground of our
subject. Never has there vet a pprod,
since the formation of oor republic, when the
importance of Internal Improvement was so
manifest as at the present. Our country and
our people are ripe for it, and the neces
sities of hoth demand it. It is important
from three weighty considerations. First,
the essential support which it nuis* give to
the stability of our Union, bv uniting more
intimalely and linking more firmly together,
by common consent and common interest,
the various parts which compose our extend
ed confederacy. Secondly, the essenti ]
strength which it will give ns injt national
point of view, whereby we mav he enabled,
at any moment. io transform our whole coun
try into a solid bulwark, impregnable at evpr V
point to all loreign invasion ; and tnirfflo.
the independent condition in which it will
place us as a people, in ‘he development of
onr own resources. the ahnndant increase
our own productions, and their general con
sumption hv our own people.
These considerations will serve to illus
trate, as an outline, our views of th import
ance of Internal Improvement. We nvghf
exnatiate upon each of them Inruelv ; wp
could do so, if not with wisdom at Ipast with
pride and delight : hut fhp subject would en
large upon ns. until we should he lost in the
immensity < f its space, and the narrow col
lurun allowed to onr occupancy would dwin
dle-to a line. We must, therefore, content
ourselves with harply touching upon the pro
minent points of this part of our suhj et; and.
as \ve mav perhaps have occasion let refer
hack to it again, we deem if unnecessary in
he e'ahoralp, when those points must he so
well understood and conceded hv all.
But the extent to which Internal Improve
ment should he carried, is a question on
which, perhaps, there may be some differ
ence of opinion. In our humble view, how
eve”, it has well defined limits, which a pro
per and experienced judgment might always
trace; lor, if carried heyotlN those limits, ii
must necessarily fall short of the obrefs de
signed, ard operate as the means of it* own
decay. Internal Improvement must of neces
sity come under the rule of all oilier opera
tions, whether mechanical or mercant le, and
that is, the actual demand for the material
produced. So long as the wants of a com
munity are unsupplied, so long may advanta
geous operations be effected in producing
those supplies, and no longer. Another and
itn[R>rtant rule must govern these operations.
Whether a community he of such extent or
numbers as even to induce a commencement
of them, no muter how great their wants
may lie ; for we believe it would he the heiyhl
of folly in a blacksmith to commence his one
rations in a neighborhood of o Iv half a dozen
farmers, with a view of supporting himself
and family by his trade alone. So it is with
Internal Improvements. It is true they mav
be accomplished ; the work mv he com
pleted. hut unless there is an actual demand
for it, and that to such an extent as to justify,
beyond all doubt, its construction, it will soon
moulder and decay from its own disuse.
Another restriction must operate to some
degree in governing the extent of Internal
Improvements, and that is the capital re
quired to carry on the work. The credit
system ts always dangerous, and should al
ways be weh guarded in whatever lengths it
may he carried. We stated, in the outset,
that we had entered upon strange and por
tentous times ; and indeed it does appear so.
when ihe sad effects which have already re
suited from extensive and improvident hank
ing. seems to produce so small a curb upon
that wild spirit, in this species of speculation,
which seems now to he the moving principle
of Internal Improvement, almost or quite, as
a paramount object.
Internal Improvement, with the privilege of
banking , is the daily cry. One ot’ these rul
ing passions must and will govern, and we
lear that the one will have but a name, or be
swallowed up in the operations of the other.
But lest we should anticipate a succeeding
pail of the subject we will say no more on
this head.
‘1 he view, which has gained ground with
Mime, tiiat it Internal Improvements be con
.sirucretl, they will at once create a demand
lor their use, is one that is too fallacious am*
uncertain, at least to authmi.-e their under
taking; and no one, we presume, would be
so rash as to commence such a system as this
upon their own risk. But we trust that this
noble spirit, which is now abroad in the land,
may have a proper and judicious cultivation,
that it may not be cboaked with a noxious
overgrowth, nor suffered to overgrow itself.
The remaining part of the subject under
this head will be considered in the succeeding
number. jackson.
