Great War Meeting: in Ohio—Mr Clay’s
Policy Repudiated-
The Ohio Statesman gives an account of an
immense gathering of the Democracy at the
Court House, in Columbus, on the 27th ulti
ttto. Governor Bartley delivered a powerful
speetd}, in which he sustained the Adminis
tration in its war measures, and clearly proved
Mexico in the wrong. Mr. Clay’s “no in
demity” and “no territory” policy was most
emphatically repudiated.
Tire following are the resolutions, which
passed unanimously:
Resolved, That as Mr. Clay, in his Lexing
ton rcsidustkyivs, has invited “our fellow-citl
*ens to assemble together in their respective
eommunitics, and to express their views, feel
ings and opinions” j# regard to the war with
Mexico, we hereby declare' that cmr “views
and opinions” are that this •■'war exists by the
act of Mexico,” exclusively,- and Chat’ our
“feelings” are decidedly in furor of mir own
country, thereby differing totally with Mr.
Clay and the leaders of the Federal Whig par
ty, who have shown by their acts that°fhey
Would bring into disrepute the American Go
vernment, that they might elevate themselves
to power.
Resolved, That the annexation of Texas to
the United States was consummated by the
Congress and President of the United States,
% the adVlce and consent of the sovereign
people, and the unanimous consent of the
Congress of Texas, while she was an acknow
ledged independent State; that by the annex
ation of Texas tc the L nited States, our gov
ernment perpetrated no wrong against Mex
ico, and gave to her no just cause of War :
That Mexico, availing.herself of the annex
ation* of Texas,- as- a 1 pretext, did wage an un
against the United States :
That the conduct of Mexico, and the immi
nent danger of a hostile invasion of Texas by
the Mexican forces, made it the duty of the
President of the X. nited States to order our
army to take such advantageous position,
joear the extreme western boundary of Texas,
as would enable it to keep the threatening
Mexican forces in- awe, and in case they should
commence hostilities, to repel them :
That,- in taking peacefully the position on
the east bank ot the Rio Grande, opposite
Matamoros, the army committed no act of ag
gression against Mexico; end was not only on
territory in good faith claimed to belong to
Texas - , bu? frtcontestibly proven to be such <
That the war having been brought upon us !
by the injustice and madness of Mexico, it be- |
came the duty of the''United States to< prose- !
cute it with vigor and energy, not only to eon
efuer a peace, but to compel Mexico to make
amends fully for past acts of aggression and
injustice to our people.
Resolved, That the preamble voted- for and
sustained by the almost unanimous voice of j
the Congress of the United States, that “war !
exists by the act of Mexico,” is true itr letter
and in spirit; and Mr. Clay, in charging them j
with voting for a falsehood, contradicts his
statement that he “idolizes the truth,” or his
memory is impaired by old age, or disappoint
ment in his political aspirations.
Resolved, That it is our opinion that Mex
ico, after being defeated in every battle, bank
rupted in finances, without even a hope of
sustaining themselves in such a contest, would
before this time have accepted our liberal
terms of peace, had it not been for the “aid
and comfort” they have received from the
Federal Whig party in the United States.
Resolved, That we believe, with Martin Van
Buren, “The war cannot now be concluded
with honor, unless we receive from Mexico a
just indemnity for the past, and reasonable se
curity for the future. If these be not ob
tained, the survivors of our gallant army, who
have by their deeds of valor, confirmed the
sespect and compelled the admiration of the
world, cannot be brought home without im
peachment of the laurels they have so nobly
won, nor the memories of the heroic dead
shielded from the reflection of having sacri
ficed their lives in a worthless contest.”
Resolved, That we gladly accept the issue
tendered to us by Mr. Clay and the leaders of the
Federal Whig party. A vigorous prosecution
of the war until peace shall be made, with in
demnity for the past, and security for the fu
ture, is our motto; and with this issue, and
with this preservation of our present Demo
cratic measures in view, the Democracy of the
Union will triumph over all factions.
[From the M'dJedgcviUe Federal Union \olhinsl.)
We invite the attention of the Democracy
of the State, to the proceedings of the meeting
of the 7th inst., composed of the democratic
members of the Legislature. It will be seen
that the proposed Convention is for two pur
poses, the appointment of Delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, and the arrangement
of an Electoral Ticket for the approaching
Presidential election. It is to be sincerely hoped
that the counties not represented by democrats
in the Legislature, will at once appoint their
delegates, and that the Convention will be an
exponent of the sentiments of the entire de
mocracy of tha State. The time is near at hand
—what is done, must be clone quickly.
Legislative Democratic Meetings
Milledgeville, Dec. 7, 1817.
A meeting of the Democratic members of
the Legislature, was held this evening, at Buf
fington’s Tavern; on motion of A. A. Gauld
ing of Pike, the Hon. Johu A. Jones of the
county of Paulding, was called to the Chair.
On motion, A. A. Gaulding was requested to
act as Secretary.
Mr. Jackson of Walton, offered the following
Resolutions, which, after some discussion,
were unanimously adopted, viz ;
Resolved, That for the purpose of organizing
an electoral ticket, it is proper, that a Con
vention of the Democratic Party of Georgia,
should be held, during the present session of
the Legislature.
Resolved, That by said convention, two
Democrats should be nominated as State Elec
tors, for the State at large, and it should be
left to each Congressional District, to nomi
nate an Elector for said District, at the time
of nomination of a candidate for Congress for
the same.
Resolved further , That by said convention,
a delegation should be appointed from this
Slate, to assemble at the Baltimore Conven
tion, to nominate a candidate for President
and one for Vice President of the United
States.
Resolved, therefore , That for the purposes
hereinbefore set forth, n convention of the
Democratic Party of Georgia, be hold at Mil-
on Wednesday night, the 22d inst.,
at i o’clock ; that said convention bo composed
ot the present members of the' Legislature,
horn counties therein represented by demo
crats# and that those counties not at all re
presented, or represented only in part, be
requested to send delegates, or fill out their
delegations thereto ; and that all counties bo
entitled to the full vote to which they arc
entitled under the new apportionment,
On motion of Mr. Jackson of Walton# it was
Resolved f That the Federal Union, be re
quested to publish the proceedings of this
meeting in its issue of Friday next, and that
all the Democratic papers in this State, be re
quested to copy.
On motion, the meeting then adjourned I .'

SUNAY MORNING, DEC. 12.
The Mails.
Wc were disaspointed in not receiving last
evening advices from New York and Wash
ington by our Pony Express in advance of the
mail. If sent, it failed to come to hand.
The Charleston papers also failed to come to
hand, which will account for the non-appear
ance of that market in this day’s paper.
From our Correspondent-
COURIER OFFICE, )
Charleston, Dec. 11 —10 a. m. >
Correspondence of the Courier .
Washington, Dec. 9.
After having heard in private conversations
and from general rumor, the sentiments of the
members of Congress in regard to the Presi
dent’s Message, and particurarly in regard to
the future conduct of the war, I have come to
the conclusion that the Whigs will vote all
the supplies that are or may be called for, but
that they will accompany the loan bill with
some proviso, other than the Wilmot Proviso-,
in regard to the objects of the war.
The Democrats generally, will give a full
and entire support to the policy proposed by
the President. How Mr. Calhoun and his
friends will go, no one here has undertaken to
predict. But it has been suggested that he
will take some new course, adapted to flic pre
sent state of things. One thing is clear, that
months will pass in hot debate, and in all
manner of legislative excitement and manoeu
vre, before the loan bill or any other impor
tant measure will pass.
Mexico, if she possess any government ca
pable of action, had better make peace. The
terms of the peace demanded by the President
are those that the majority of Congress will i
insist upon. Mr. Polk, while he is Presi
dent, will never, as he has most solemnly de
clared, approve of any treaty that docs not
cede to us the territory of New Mexico and !
California. That this will become, if it is not, '
the general sense of the country, is very ;
probable. The continuance of the war till the
| next Administration shall come in is certain,
Unless Mr. Polk’s terms be complied with.

The Britannia left Liverpool on the 19th ul- I

her passage. Shebrings dates from Liverpool ;
fifteen days later than those previously re- I

Although this market has shows no positive
tendency to advance since your last advices, it
has been characterized by sustained and in
rrcasing demands.
Indian corn, particularly, has been extra
ordinarily active, and is steady at present quo
tations, while the best white is retailing at 40s.
Indian meal, for Irish supplies, is also very
brisk. London. The market is by no means
so active as in Liverpool, and throughout the
provinces generally.
On Wednesday the attendance of buyers at
Mark-lane was very small, and the transac

however, had not receded.

The sales of the week ending the 12th inst.
amounted to about 26,400 bales, of ’which
4,500 were for export, and 1,800 on specula
tion. The business for five days to yesterday
evening, may be estimated at 5,000 bales, of
which exporters have taken 3,000 ; but spec
ulation was without effect. An improved
tone indicating an advance of Jd. to 3d. from
the lowest point became perceptible in this
market for about a week after tho departure
of the last steamer, but it was generally dis- <
pellccl by the Cambria’s advices, -which bore
so favorably upon the coming crops. From
the receipt of those advices up to last evening,
the market has become extremely languid,
and the improvement is wholly lost.,

Commercial- ant> Financial.— Contrasting
the operations of trade, and the general aspect
of money affairs of the country, for the last
fortnight, with those of ’the proceeding, it is
gratifying to observe that a slight but still a
perceptible improvement has taken place, re
tarded by the stoppage of Trueman & Cook, of
London, an cminest brokerage house, whose
liabili.t : es are estimated at £350,000.
The price of money is still high, and insol
vencies are rife. The surd of the panic has
been stayed, but money is yet most difficult to
be had. Commercial distress has not been
materially assuaged, but hope is higher, and
the future is promising.
The English funds for the past fortnight
suffered less flactuation than for a considerable
time previously, with unequivocal tendency
to ascend, promoted by importation of foreign
gold, amounting to nearly a million and a half
of pounds.
The Bank-of England still demands eight per
cent while its branches refuse to advance under
nine per cent.

Democratic meetings arc about to be held
immediately throughout Tennessee,- for the
purpose of sending delegates to the State con
vention to meet at Nashville on the Bth Jan
uary, to appoint delegates to the national con
vention, and to express the voice of the people
on the great questions w hich arc at issue be
tween the two political parties.
Transmission of the Message-
The Baltimore American, of the 4th inst.,
says—“ The message of the President, wffiich
was communicated to Congress yesterday,was
received here by railroad express in the \ ery
short space oififty-three minutes, running time.
The express locomotive —in charge of Captain
Hughes, one of the most energetic and efficient
conductors of the railroad company, and
managed by Mr. Win. Flaxcomb,engineer,and
Mr. Henry Shaffer, firemen—left Washing
ton at ten minutes past OIK) o’clock, p. m. ar
rived at the Mount Clare depot, in this city, at
six minutes past two, p m. Three minutes
-were lost in taking in water. Thus the trip
of forty miles was accomplished in fifty-three
minutes —being at the rate of speed, for the
whole distance, of a mile per minute and a
third.”
The moment the reading of the message
was commenced in Congress, the express cars
wore started by the Post-master General with
the copies from the Union office.
The freshet of the 29th ult., w-hich was so
destructive on James Iliver, also rose to an
unusual height on the Kanawha, in Western
Virginia —considerable loss was sustained in
lumber flat boats, &c., but tho principal damage
has fallen on the Salt Works—tho water rising
high enough to extinguish the fire in all the
furnaces, many of which have been so much
inj urod that it will be some time before they
can resume operations, and the amount of Salt
manufactured this quarter w*ill in consequence,
be greatly diminished —the deficiency being
estimated at 200,000 bushels.
The Legislature of Virginia organized at
Richmond on the Cth inst,, and in the House
of Delegates Mr. Strawther of Rappahannock
was elected Speaker, after which tho Govern
or’s message was received and read.

Not Ruined.
The Troy Nail works have cleared this year
45 per cent, upon their capital. Where is the
ruin that w r as to come from the new- Tariff?
Responses-
Great meetings in favor of the war have been
recently held at Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and
Columbus. The resolutions were uncommonly
able and pointed, asserting the war to be just;
that it was begun by Mexico; that it should
be vigorously prosecuted, and that no offers of
peace should come from this country, —The
Pennsylvanian asks whether Mr. Clay expected
such responses. IJe has probably contributed
to raise the storm—w*ill he subdue the whirl
wind?
A Fat Office.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post
demonstrates in figures, that the yearly in
come of the office of county clerk, now held
by Mr.* Conner, is over $40,000. As a single
Item, he receives $1 for every record entered.
The whole ntember of records the past year,
was 5,115. For making out the cale?*kvrs of
the several courts at which he officiates, he
received $4,50t); and thus in pro-portion for
other services.*

1800 tons capacity, carpenter’s measurement,
—that is, about 300 tons larger than any mer
chant vessel heretofore bult in the U. S. Her
length, on deck, is 186 feet wiih 41 feet beam
and 31 feet 6 inches hold. The knees, bo

inches in the “throat,” and 11 i inches in the*

Sands’ Sarsaparilla.
Lord Chesterfield says a good appearance is at all
times 9. letter of introduction. How can a mail
make a ‘good appearance’ with a face covered with
pimples, pustules, salt rheum, barker’s or Jackson's
| itch, and various others cutaneous diseases that fre
quently disfigure the human form “divine.” These
and similar disorders have their origin in an impure
or depraved state of the blood and general fluids of
the system, and spring is the time to thoroughly
eradicate them from the system, by the timely use
of the right medicine. Sands'Sarsaparilla, a pure
! Iv vegetable preparation, which operate* on the sys
i tem strictly in conformity with nature s law*, wil
entirely remove all impurities from the blood, the
i grand source of life and bodily vigor .and the patient
i will speedily feel its healing and regenerating influ-
I once on the system, and by its use soon regain
j health; the skin is rendered clear, and the com
exion much improved, as thousands CM testlf
by the use of this valuable remedy.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets
which may be obtained of agents gratis.
