Unless this is afforded, the constitution becomes a dead letter in bis aiid even worse, it becomes; a means of deception. Our constituents see ing the President's approval and signature at tached to each act of Congress, or induced to believe that he has actually performed tbit duty, when, in truth nothing is, in many eases; more unformed. From the pratdice of congress,such an ex amination of oncTi hill as the constitution re quires has been rendered impossible. The most important business of each session is generally crowded into the last hours, and the alternatives presented to violate the. constitutional duty which he owes to the peo ple, wild approve bills which, for want of time, it is impossible lie should have examin ed, of, by his refusal to do this, subject the country and indivaduals to great loss and ifi'Oohvenienee. r!

I, therefore, respeetMy, but earnestly, re commend that tho tow-houses would allow the President at least two days previous to the adjournment of each session within which no new hill shall be presented to him for sp- Sroval. Under tho existing joint rule - one ay is allowed ; but the rule has been hither to so constantly suspended in paetice, that important bills continue to be presented to him up till the very last moments of the ses sion. In a large majority of cases no great public inconvenience can arise from the want of time to examine their provisions, because the constitution has declared that if a bill be presented to the President wi.hin the last ten days of the session he is not required to return it, either with au approval or veto, “in which ease it shall not be a law.” *lt may then lie over, and be taken up and pass-- ed at the next session.

LOOK OUT TOE SWINDLERS. Lands are becoming valuable in this sec tion, and for the purpose, doubtless, of en ■couraging emigration hither, Mttling the country, and promoting the general prosperi ty thereof, several title iriaufhctorics have been established in the upper portion of the Stiljß. - - These titles arc fabricated, for the most part, to such lots ns are unoccupied, and par ticufarly such, ns to which no titles appear of record. We have seen, within the last year, a number of beautiful, and perfect chains of titles to lands in this comity, bat which were most outrageous forgeries. There is not much danger of our own citizens being bit by these sharpers, but we advise stran gers to be careful from whom they purchase lands lying in Southern and South-Western Georgia. , cotnmr HOBWAnoirs. In the last issne of the Reporter, we gave onr views on this subject in a mild and tem porate manner, believing that we had a right to have onr say in .regard to the troubles in our own political family. Henceforward, we expect tjj have nothing more to say in the premises, unless some necessity should arise which does not now exist 11 Our columns are open to all the candi dates, both democratic and American, and Any communications which they may band in ifhall be promptly published unless they contain improper and offensive matter, a. t ■V’ ■ nro. e. ujomxt, sm. ■ A -v l -. ■ This gentleman has been the Tax Collec tor of the county during the present year, and has discharged his duties to the entire satisfaction of every Body.

You are right, sir, when you say that “parties have ever existed and must continue .Jo exist in this country, and that nominations when fairly conducted are a great party convenience.”— I go further, sir, r.nd nominations fairly conducted are absolutely necessary to party existence, at least successful existence, as will be shown in the history of this coun ty, unless cot tain men are put down. So f#r as Mr. Everitt, the Independent Demo cratic Candidate for Clerk is concerned, we are informed that be did~not allow his name to go before the nominating Convention, and of cdurse he hia the right, which every citi zen has, of offering bis services to the peo ple. This right I accord td him distinctly aa*a citizen. It will be for him to justify himself before his petty, as a party So far as Mr. Johnsom the Independent Democratic Candidate for Sheriff is concern ed, however, matters appear to be verjr"f|| ferent. According to the published proceed ings of the Democratic nominating Conven tion, he was a candidate before that Conven tion for nomination, and it appears that he was fairly defeated there. Upon what pre text now. does be offer himself before the people aa a candidate 1 Why. Mr. Johnson winks and blinks and says there was a trick in the affair, but if so why does he not ex pose the trick 1 The truth is, so far as I know or.believe, there was no tiick in the nomination, and this is nothing but a flimsy excuse on the part of Vs? nson to justify him in his nnwarantable course. But be says again, that Mr. Alderman is not Democrat, —that be has not been long enough identified with the party. Will Mr. John son tell ns bow long it takes to make a man a good Democrat t Wbat probation must ho undergo 1 What apprenticeship must he serve ! This is another poor excuse, and is not consistent with the action of the Demo cratic party. Messrs. Toombs and Ste phen* were adopted when tlieir party affini ties were exceedingly doubtful, and it baa been but very recently, indeed, that they have given their full adhesion to the Demo cratic faith. Oil! buf*Mr. Sanford, who is to be Mr. Alderman’s deputy, and who is really to do all the busines of the office, voted for Mr. Davies against Mr. Everitt in the last elec tion ! Yes, and many Democrats, as true as Mr. Johnson, or Mr. any body else did the same thing, and they do not feel that they are any the less Democrats for so doing. Mr- Sanford, I am informed on authority, and verily believe, has ever been a consist ent member of the Democratic party, and it is to be hoped that he is not to be condemn ed because he is not insensible to the claims of personal obligations, and friendship. This is another poor excuse, and I am persuaded will not go down with the intelligent people of Thomas county. The people want, and ought to have, men of integrity, capacity, responsibility, and character; to fill the offi ces of Sheriff and deputy Sheriff of this coun ty, and such are the gentlemen presented to the country by the Democratic Convention. If fair and honorable nominations are to be crushed down, and every body to set up -a political shop for himself, then good-bye to the good old Democratic party of Thomas. Our American friends will soon have the mastery in the field, and they will tench us a lesson, which however, will come too late to be of service, by holding on to it. Do yon wish to tea this, Democrats 1 If not, vote for the nominees yourselves, and advise your friends to do so too. This is our only salvation, depend upon it.

I learn from the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House of Representatives, that there are yet 1 to be acted on more than five hundred bills —some of them of great importance j this proves that forty days is not sufficient for the business of our growing State. I know, 1 some think the Legislature waste limp, this may be true to a certain extent, and yet the limit of forty days, is far too short, to do the work well and as it shouldbc done. The fact isthe General Assembly should remain in •eaaton until all the work before.tbem isfinish* od,let the time bclong or abort,then the busi ness of all the people can be attended to,and the few shrewd and old members will not have so greatly the advantage over the new ntid inexperienced. A resolution has passed the Senate, ap pointing a committee of four, two from each political party to investigate the actings and doings on the State Road with’ power to send for persons and papers, and they are to look carefully into every thing connected 1 with the road—-this Committee is eom ’ posed of Messrs. Stubbs, Tucker, Bartlett, and*Price; all gentlemen of high standing and'having the confidence of all who know them. Tlieir report will be lodked to with interest by the people ; and I have no doubt 1 if any thing is wrong or has been wrong, it will be ferretted out and, exposed. The very 1 appointment of the committee, will in my hum ble opinion, cause at least one hundred thou sand dollars more to be paid into the Treas ury of the Senate. The bill from the .House of Representa -1 tives commuting the punishment of John Black convicted of murder, in Habersham Su perior Court and who was sentenced to be hung, to imprisonment in the JPeniteptiary for life, was lost in the Senate, and reconsidered next day; the vote being 43 yeas, 43 nays— the president voted in the affirmative—the hill was then put on its final passage and was carried by a majority of two—this poor man has run a narrow chance for his life. There are seVeral other bills for pardon for murder before the Legislature,but I think aHef them will be lost—the Legislature, begins to think some examples must be made, for murder is becoming far too common in Georgia. A proposition was made in tiie House of Representatives to appropriate $2,500 for IWe purpose of having annual encampments of our volunteer but it met with little or no favor ; this appropropriation should be made, it would do much to encourage a true military spirit whch might in time of need be of great advantage to the State. Quite a discussion sprung up iu the House, of . Representatives on the appropriation i for printing. Kenan of Baldwin was for re ducing, the number of the Journals from four thousand to five hundred, this would save the State according to his statement about seven thousand dollars;—others were for re duction in part, and some were for no change whatever.- The sum of fifteen thousand dol lars was finally settled on, and passed. The House of Representatives have in creased the salary of the JOAurnor to four thonsand dollars—the salaries of the Judg es of the Supreme Court to thirty-five hun dred dollars, and the circuit Judges to two tho usand dollars. The Hon. B. J. Hill by the invitation of the members of the American party in the Legislature, addressed the people in, the Hall of the -House of Representatives oti Wednesday evening last. The House was densly crowded, and the distinguished speak er cheered entbneiasticaly, anil for two hours be enchained I?is attentive audience compos ed of ladies and gentlemen. Alapaha. THX ADMINISTRATION IN lEARNEST. The prompt dismissal of Secretary Sfan ton because of his intrigues against the ac tion of the Lecompton Convention,gives grat ifying assurance Presidents determina tion to discharge hiWuty to the eofSltry. If lie) will only subject Walker to the same dis cipline, he. will recover every inch of ground which he has lost in the South in consequence of his dilatory and equivocal policy. Geor gia, Alabama and Mississippi have demanded a repudiation of the Kansas usurpations. The Administratibn can hardly afford to treat the Sentiment of the Southern Democ racy with indifference, and we have reason to except that Walker will now suffer the fate of his less criminal Secretary. Mr. Buchanan will discover* temporising policy to be the most hazardous; for wliile Be vainly offers overtures of reconciliation to Douglas, he will lose the confidence and support of the South. Better precipitate the fljgjit of the traitors by a fire in their rear, and consolidate a close alliance witn the ever oeraev of the 6lavebolding States. Ju tbonT he will find the truest fidelity andjthe strong est for his Administration. ‘The dismissal of Stanton is not the only pledge of the Presi dents firm resolution to maintain fiis position in the Kansas controversy.’ Ip private eon* uersAtinn he betrays remarkable unreserve and emphasis in avowing his determination to Urttain theactiou of the Lecompton Con vention. And, we have authentic intelligence that he is supported by a majority of the Northern Representatives in Congress. The Democratic membefs from hia own State are with him to a man. The liWiana delegation also arc unanimously of the same opinion; sod it is said Pugh, with a largo proportion of the Ohio Representatives, will stand’ by the Administration We repeat, the roost vig orous is obviously th’e safest policy for Mr. Buchanan.
