A Candidate's "Campaign.
NO. 4.
Monday.—Heard Jim was out for a week’s
tour in the country —with his bottle along;
he’s going from house to house, and putting
'em all straight on his side—he’s up to all
manner of tricks —I must be off to-morrow
nnd figure a little too, or I’m a gone goose, as
the Raying’is.
Tuesday.—Fill’d my tick Jet and started for
a border settlement where I wus’nt much
known—rode twelve miles to get to a field of
operations—came to a snug looking cabin, and
thought I’d make a venture —tied my horse
to a swinging limb, and in getting down smash
went the bottle against the saddle, and out
came the contents in a hurry. Here was a case,
but I pulled out the wreck of the tickler;
squeez’d the whisky out of my coat tail, and
made for the house. I found nobody at home
but a “lone ’oraan,” and being a bashful sort
of a man, I felt sheer'd —but I took a seat —
told her ’twas fine weather —good for craps,
and so on, which did’nt seem to be much news
to her—and I was about to inquire for the
“man of the house” when she look’d round
the room very suspiciously, turned up her
nose with a snuff, then peep’d under the bed
where the dog was quietly dozing, and the
way she us’d the broom on old Jowler was a
caution —“Drot the dog,” says she, “he was
out ’possum huntin’ last night, and must have
run foul of a pole-cat —I despise the nasty
varmints —they smell so much like poor corn
whisky, and ever since raa and the old man
jind the temperance, I can’t bear the smell
of it” —(I guess I tuck’d my coat tail out of
sight.') She talk’d on so fast I could’nt put in
a word, till all at once she look’d mo right
sharp in the face—“l reckon, stranger, ycu
don’t live in these parts; what mought your
name her” My name is Martin, says I, and I
had’nt time to say another word before she
broke in—“ Well, I hope you aint kin to Judge
Martin, who lives down to the Court. House—
the candidate —for he’s about the meanest
man in all creation —he usen’d to belong to
the temperance, but he broke the pledge just
to get an office, and he wont get it no how—
my old man says he would’nt vote for him if
he’d give him his whole store. They say he’s
giving away lots and cords of his goods, and
going every body’s security, just to get votes,
and I reckon ’twont be long ’fore he'll burst
up, and no matter —the worst of it is, he goes
round the country treating every body, and
all the chaps that love liquor and don’t love
work, follow him round, and its fine times for
them. There’s old Downy, who lives just over
the branch there, has’nt struck a lick since the
electioneering began, and last Saturday night
he came home drunk and run his wife off be
cause she would’nt get his supper, when there
was’nt a bit of meat or meal in the house; and
they do say the old Judge gets pretty well
corn’d himself, and I should’nt wonder if he
died a drunkard yet.” I began to feel dread
ful oneasg, for a candidate’s character is awful
bad, and I see mine was all coming out if I’d
stay to hear it—so I started up and told her I
was iu, a mighty burry—if she’d put me in the
road to Tennessee I’d be going—when she
gave me the directions, I back’d out of the
door, took the offending part of my coat tail
on, my arm, and kinder whistled myself out of
the gate and was off. I went a pretty good
streak before I stopt, for fear the old lady
would hear of me. When I call’d again I found
only - women and children, but I had heard
wise folks say, praise the children and you’ll
please the mothers —please the mothers and
the daddys will vote for you, so I struck
at the root this time —thought the; boys
and girls were very handsome and very
precocious—almost prodigies and so on, till
the mother smiled on me very kindly—one
half grown girl in particular I considered on
eommon smart, and inquired her age—oh, la,
says she ,1 never remembers their ages exactly,
but my darter Peggy there was born about
Peach time, I think I made a decided impres
sion there and the old lady will vote—that is,
her husband will vote for me. I next came to
a log pen at a cross road and I discover’d a
shingle sticking out and on it was scratched
with a coal w I e.* Well thought I here’s
one of Neal’s “Charcoal Sketches” come out
South. I found some voters inside the pen,
waiting for a candidate, I suppose, so I call’d
for some of the “knock knee” and we had a
right jovial time—all seem’d to be warm
friends. The doggery man whimpered to me
that I would get all the votes about there —he
was going his death for me —had put out a
quart the day before to keep me ahead —
mark’d it up on the slate, but I need’nt pay
for it then—be more wanted along, and I could
pay for it altogether after the election—thought
he was a fine fellow and a good loco, but a friend
told me afterwards that he heard him hand
out the same talk to Jim, and he believed he
was a rank whig. As it was near sunset they
gave me directions to a good old Demo, where
I could stay all night. I expect I was pretty
Jail and did’nt care much about roads at first,
but when I come to think about it, it seem’d
a dreadful long one to squire Ilapgoods. The
old follow had been sick, and alter’d so'inuch
I did’nt hardly know him, and he was’nt so
HVUwkj, ••
glad to see me as I expected —thought he was
rather shy—when I tried to introduce politics,
he kinder waiv’d the subject and would talk
about Corn and Cotton, and all sorts of agricul
ture. I begun to think he had heard some bad
reports on me (as there was plenty open) but
I determin’d to bring him to the point before
I left, and next morning as I was about start
ing—“well squire,” says I, “you’ll be at the
| 1 oils election day, I suppose, to give your old
i friends a lift”—“yes, says he, I’ve voted for
j Colonel Green seven years hand running and
| I’ll not desart him while he holds out a good
j whig—Colonel who? says I, and I began to
I smell a rat. AY hy Colonel Green—he’s our
I candidate up here in I3uncom.be—you’re over
the line judge, two miles at least. I was so
much confounded that I hardly said good bye,
but I had’nt got far before he call’d to me to
lot me know I had’nt paid my bill. I steer’d
pretty straight homeward, thinking I had bet
ter study Geography a spell before I took ano
ther trip.
Saturday.—Had to try one more Justices
Court, tho’ I was getting pretty sick of ’em—
found a great gathering of the independent
voters —reckon they intend to improve their
time as the campaign is winding up—they
pour’d down the liquor as though they were
! drinking in advance for the next two years—
had to go on tick, for my money was out—
seemed to me it took more than usual to get
them gorg’d. ’Twas dark before Jim and I
could leave, they were all so friendly,—did’nt
like to part with us. AVe jogg’d homeward
; very sociable till I touch’d on politics a little,
| then Jim got ril'd pretty quick—said I was a
1 Yankee from a little beyond the ncrard—o.
AVebster and Adams man. I told him he was
under a small mistake, for Adams and AVeb- |
ster belong’d to his party, or rather his party |
belong’d to them, for Mr. Berrien contracted
it over to ’em when he was down there in
Boston. How he let out then —he rais’d him
self in his stirrups just by hard swearing,—
| call’d me all sorts of hard names, and finally
said if I would light right there, he’d tail my
hide till it would’nt hold shucks. Xow I’ve no
courage to boast of, but my dander riz a little, i
and down I came and he too —and there we
| was by our lone selves, in tho Avoods, and in the )
I dark, toe to toe —in pugilistic attitude. Noav ;
i come on,says I, give the first lick—you strike
first says he —and then we parley’d as to Avho |
| should give the first blow, and if we’d only
1 had a feAv friends to hold us back, avc should
i
have kick’d up a terrible dust—but I reckon
avc botb thought our situation rather peculiar,
for supposing one should bo putting tethers
eye out, Avho Avas to part us? “Discretion got
; the better part of valour” not that avo hack'd
out, but we agreed to.meet in a more gentle
manly combat. AVe had an unsocial ride the
rest of the way—Jim Avas puzzled with what
I said about AVebstcr, and I could hear him
soliloquize—“AYhat, the AA'hig party cheek by
joAvl Avith Hartford Conventionites and blue
light federalists, that Avcro traitors to their
country when we were battles!—
its a rank lie Bill."
Back wood’s Candidate.
The Sugar Crop — Rolling Begun. —A corres
pondent from Ascension, under date Sep. 21st,
complains that the heavy equinoctial rains and
storms haA’e someAvhat injured the Sugar in
that vicinity by beating it down. He con
tinues:
Eds. Della —Do you remember in my last I
was tolling you of the planters in those parts
who commenced making Sugar on the 20th
September, two years ago. Well, he was called
a fool for his pains. Whether wrongfully or j
not, I AA'ill not venture to say; at any rate, if
he Avas one, there are still some of the same
genus in the land of the li\-ing, as one of them,
in this neighborhood, commenced rolling yes
terday, and made three hogsheads of Sugar;
by-the-by, a very good article, which you will j
probably see in your market some time next
Avhich The yield, it appears, Avas very scanty
—being only about five hundredjiounds to the
acre. — N. O. Delta, 30 th inst.
Colton and Corn Crops. —A subscriber writes
us, from Greene county, Ala., (Sept. 22,) that
the continued rains, with the early appearance
of the boll-worm, have injured considerably
the cotton crop in Greene, Marengo, Pickens
and Sumter counties, Alabama, and also in tho
adjoining counties of Noxubee, and Lowndes,
in Mississippi, In the county of Lincoln and
in the Courtland Valley, Tennessee, the plant
is said to be loaded down AA-ith bolls, and if not
affected by the rains, promises a handsome
yield. The corn, throughout the whole coun
try, is uncommonly promising, and the quanti
ty sufficient, if it be necessary, to feed again
the Avhole of Europe.— lb.
The plan of the AVasliington monument,
contemplated to be erected in the city of Xcav
York, has been finally adopted, and is thus
described in a letter published in the National
Intelligencer:
The material of the structure is to be gran
ite, and the style of the architecture principally
Grecian. The form Avill be a pentagon, rising
to the height of four hundred and fifty feet,
diA'ided into six unequal sections, diminishing
in diameter one above the other. The monu
ment rests upon a terrace 158 feet in diameter
and 13 feet high. The base of the monument
is 68 feet in diameter. The rotundo in the
first section is 40 feet in diameter and 67 feet
in height. The rotundo in the second section
is 40 feet in diameter and 88 feet in height.
The third section has a rotundo of 36 by 8-5
feet. The fourth section rises 99 feet, the fifth
52 feet, and the sixth and last 50 feet. The
Avhole to be surmounted by a statue of AVash
ington twenty feet in height. Each section is
ornamented with buttresses, cornice, and bul
ustrade. Around the rotundo in the first sec
tion are fiA-e rooms, occupying the pentagonal
projections, each 25 feet square and 54 feet in
height, to be reached by spiral staircases from
the rotundo, AA'hich also continues up to the
second section. These rooms are designed,
one for the use of the trustees, one for a regis
try of the names of contributors to the monu
ment, one for the registry of the names of the
Adsiters, and tAvo for a library of works and
documents having reference to the revolution.
In the second section is the grand monu
mental rotundo, which is to contain a statue
of AVasliington, surrounded by statues of his
major generals, and his foreign allies Avho dis
tinguished themselves during the Avar of the
revolution, and a A'acant pedestal inscribed
Avith the name of the traitor Arnold. The
third section is divided into six stories,
the rooms of which may be deA’oted to the uses
of artists and other purposes. The fourth
section is divided into eight stories, and the
filth section into five stories. The sixth sec
tion, Avhich is ascended by a single spiral stair
way> has a gallery at the top 15 feet in diame
ter.

“Wisdom prefers ax unjust peace to a
Just avar/ —Chronicle <Sr Sentinel.
“If” exclaims the Chronicle of the 4th inst.,
the above maxim has any foundation in rca
| son, how monstrous is a war waged without
| necessity ” Where the Chronicle obtained
this maxim, as it is termed, we cannot imagine.
We should like to know the author of it. He
certainly was never the guiding spirit of anv
nation that was cither free or worthy of frce
j c l° m * It is founded neither in wisdom, policy
!or common sense. Any nation that would
[ submit to the guidance of such a maxim,
I would deserve to be enslaved, and its fate
j should not excite the commiseration of an
hongrable mind. The maxim reeks of pusil-
I lanimity. It is revolting te every proper fcel
j ing of manhood and every prompting of
j patriotism. Peace is a blessing; but it
I O »
would be dearly purchased, if its price is
submission to injustice. War is a calamity;
but ton thousand times rather lot its red
| bolts shower down in relentless fury upon
a proud and brave people—let it overwhelm
them with fire and sword, and pestilence—
sooner than that they should tamely submit to
acknowledged injustice. Our forefathers could
have purchased peace—au inglorious, degrad
ing peace, by submitting to the injustice of
taxation—taxation not onerous in amount,
; but most grevious in principle. But in the
spirit of him who exclaimed, “millions fop.
DEFENCE, NOT A CENT FOR TRIBUTE,” — they tOSC
up against the injustice, expelled their arro
gant oppressors from cur country, and achiev
ed our country’s independence. Let it never
be written in history that their descendants
became so degenerate that the maxim obtain
ed among them, “ Wisdom prefers an unjust
poace to a just war.” Away with such wis
i dom. It is the wisdom of the degraded serf,
or the not less degraded votary of pleasure,
whom luxury and sloth have enervated—such
as were the Romans when they hired foreism
ers to do their fighting-, while they revelled in
inglorious ease, or submitted to the dictation
of the Prctorian cohorts rather than, assert
; their rigths as citizens.
Ihc application of this wise maxim to the
war with Mexico will never bo tolerated. Ours
,*3 a proud and martial people. They will
never tolerate injustice from any nation for the
sake of peace. Thcir’s is the maxim of the
great Andrew Jackson : “They demand nothing
but tchat is riyht. They will submit to nothin'/
that is wrnswf.” They believe they have suf
fered wrong from Moxieo. They are “involv
ed by the act of Mexico in an unjust war.
They will obtain from her full justice ftnd in
demnity before they will coil Sent to peace.—
They will never acknowledge the wisdom of
ian unjust peace. It is not the wisdom that has
ever governed the Anglo-Saxon race.
Now JPSaita.
The Washington Union of 2d inst. says—
“We are gratified to learn at the Department
this evening, that the difficulties which hue
existed for some time between the Post Office
Department and the steamboat and railroad
| companies between New York and Springfield,
Mass., have to-day been adjusted, and the ser
vice on both routes given to the railroad com
pany, which undertakes to perform the old
service for the some pay as existed prior to the
commencement of the dispute between the
Dapartmcnt and the steamboat company. We
understand that contracts have been regularly
executed for the sendee. The public nc*d
not, therefore, apprehend any further def»d
gement of mail service on this line, until sifter
the present ends, on the Ist July, 1849.”
Mr. Webster addressed the Whig Cod*en_
tion at Springfield at considerable length, in
review of the war and political events of the
day. In the course of his speech, he made this
declaration ?
I never have, I never shall, I never will
vote for any further annexation to ( this coun
try with a slave representation upon it or in it.
Ag*c3 of Statesmen.
Os our distinguished public men, John Quin
cy Adams, bom in 17G7, is the Nestor. Ho
is 80 years of age. Henry Clay comes next,
being 70 years old on the 15th of April. Mar
tin Van Buren, R. M. Johnson, J. C. Calhoun,
Lewis Cass, and Daniel Webster, singularly
enough, were all born in 1782, and of course
are 75 years of ago. Tyler is 8 years younger
—born in 1790. Polk is about the same ago.
Dallas 2 years younger yet, born in 1793.
General Taylor is nearly 60. The rest of our
prominent men are generally younger by
years.
The Ddackerel Fisheries.
The catch of mackerel thus far, this season, i
says the Gloucester Telegraph, has been small
in comparison with that of the two past years
The number of barrels taken on this coast has
greatly diminished, and the prospects being
so unfavorable, many of our vessels have gone
to the Bay of Chaleur. The fares that arrive
at this port are readily sold at good prices as
soon as landed, and immediately shipped to
the great markets of New York and Philadel
phia. The last sains here have been for No.

The new steamer Hermann was launched at
New York on Thursday, in fine style,
The steamship “Northerner,” recently built
at New York, to run in connection with the
“Southerner,” forming with her a weekly
line between Charleston and Xcw York, —
made a trial excursion on Wednesday. She
ran a distance of sixteen miles in sixty-two
minutes, most of the time under a pressure of
18 to 21 pounds of steam, and performing 16
revolutions per minute.
She arrived at Charleston, yesterday morn- !
ing, with a large number of passengers.

i Another Attack o a Abolitionists—E«-
of a Fret*.
We sec, in the correspondence of the Pitts
burg Oaactte, dated at Cambridge, Ohio, Sept.
19, that on the Tuesday previous, a mob gath
ered in front of the office of “The Clarion of
Freedom,” an abolition paper, printed in that
place by M. R. Hall, and stoned and egged it
far nearly a whole night The cause of the
mob was offensive epithets used by the editor
towards citizens of the place.
On the evening before that alluded to* a
4ght occurred an abolitionist and one
of thd citizens —a crowd gathered—and
the belligerents were parted, repaired to the
office and committed the outrage above named.
On the following morning, (Thursday) the
cry was raised of “pack up the press and type
and send it off,” which would have been done
had not the abolitionists interfered and called
for a suspension of hostilities.
The result of it was, that Hall should re
move with his press from the village. Dur
ing the armistice; Mr. Hall had a rencontre
with one of our citizens, in which he was de
feated, and somewhat wounded in the face.—
The press, type, editor, &c., are now located
(adds the writer) on the National Hoad,
miles west of Cambridge.
Bishop Ouicrdonk.
The New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Sun, referring to the Episcopal Con
vention, says :
A caucus of High Churchmen has been
held, and it has been determined to got at the
Bishop question. It is the intention to j)ro
pose to take measures to procure the repeal
of the canon under which the Bishop is sus
pended and to enact another, that does not re
cognize indefinite suspension.
Tliis will be moved by John C. Spencer, and
1 we shall have a stormy time no doubt, as he is
one of the ablest men in the country, but he
will meet opposition of the noblest kind.

“Silent LigrhtniaQr.”
During the warm Summer nights lightning m?v i
sometimes be seen to flash for hours almost with
out intermission, unaccompanied by thunder. We
arc also frequently conscious of the presence of dis
ease unattended by its usually starting symptoms. 1
But there is no telling how soon the diffused elec
tricity may be concentrated in a fatal flash, or the
incipient malady may reach a deadly crisis. It is
not well to neglect eruptions, ulcers, swellings,
swelling in the glands, &-c. &c., on the ground that
they are trifles. They end in agony and death;
and as Sands’ Sarsaparilla is an acknowledged rem
edy for these symptoms, and for all sanguineus dis
eases, it is little less than sporting with danger to
1 neglect its early use in all such cases.
For farther particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets,
which may be obtained of agents, gratis.

Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
CAUTION—.In setting forth the virtues’of Dr.
Wistar's Balsam, we have no desire to deceive
those who are laboring under affliction, nor do we
wish to eulogize it more than it justly deserves.
Vet when wc look around and see the vast amount
of suffering and distress occasioned by many of the ;
diseases in which this medicine has proved so high
ly successful, we feel that we cannot urge its
claims too strongly, or say too much in its favor.
Let the public be bn their guard. Other“ Balsams”
and mixtures are sometimes imposed on the unsus
pecting for the genuine Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of
Wild Cherry. Some -for the purpose of succeeding
better in their schemes,have used a part of the name
of the genuine, as “Phoenix Balsam of Wild Cher
ry f “Balsam of3Wild Cherry, Comfrey,” &c.”
“Syrup of Wild Cherry.”

LATEST DATES FROM HAVRJ SEPT. 5
Augusta Market, Oct. 6.
COTTON.—Since our review of 30th ult. we have
had a quiet Cotton market, the sales being confined most
-1 ly to new Cotton. Old is but little enquired for, and
the lower qualities are full \ cent cheaper than the same
qualities of new, while the better grades, being scarce,
| command full prices. At this time buyers are demand
ing and obtaining a wide difference in the price of Cotton
1 in round hales—they purchase and readily pay half a cent
I more fur the same description of Cotton in square than in
round bales, and unless holders meet them at this re
duction, they will not touch a round bale. This differ
ence is greater than w r e ever before knew it to be—Jc.
difference lias generally been the standard. We notice
this fact thus early to again call the attention of planters
to the importance to them of packing their Cotton in
square bales —\ cent per lb. difference in price, will
i nearly if not quite pay all expenses incurred in getting
the article to market, and those who look to their intcr
; eats will discontinue sending Cotton to market in round
bales. As regards the growing crop, the weather for
' the past three weeks has been all that could be asked In
this section, and during that time we have heard less
complaint. The sales of the week from warehouses
sum up about 4f>o bales, nearly all new, at the following
| prices—3 at 10, 17 at 10J, 11 at lOJ, 108 at lOf, 30 at 103,
10 at 10 15-16, 35at lOJ T 156 at 11,36 at 11J, 18 at 113-16,
and 12 at IQ cents. We quote for square bales (round
I selling from § a cent less.)

the present moment there is but little tor sale in this
market.
BAGGING and ROPE,—We have no change to no
tice in the price of Bagging— business confined principal
ly to supplying small country orders. Rope is getting

from stores at 45 a 59 cts. per bushel, and sacks at
