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 .' JOHN A. JONES, Ch’n. A. A. Gaulding, Soc’y. 21 u3«s t a, oror g I a . 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. [From the Daitimore I3y Telegraph- ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER I BRITANNIA. 15 DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Loss of the Packet Ship Whitney , with Ninety Ttco of her Crew and Passengers—More Fail- 1 urcs — Slight Improvement in Monetary Affairs Cotton Stationary — Activity- in Corn, &c. The steamer Britannia was telegraphed at Boston yesterday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, but ! i k was not announced here until 10 o’clock ; last night. The Britannia left Liverpool on the 19th ul- I timo, and was consequently nineteen days on ■ her passage. Shebrings dates from Liverpool ; fifteen days later than those previously re- I ceived. The following despatch from onr Liv- j crpool correspondent was forwarded to us from Boston between 12 and 2 o’clock this morning ; LIVERPOOL, Nov. 19, 1817.

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 tions were exceedingly limited. Quotations, 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., Provision- Market. —Beef, prime mess, per tierce of 300 lbs., new, 81s to 90s; ordinary, 70s to 80s; old, not quoted.

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. (Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.) NEM \ OHK, Dec. B—6, P. M. —Cotton is heavy and inactive. About 1,000 baletf were sold to spinners. Hampton Course- W e were not present at the race yesterday, but learn that' the Boston' filley took the first and second heats, and John Watson, the third, fourth and fifth. We could not learn the time of the respective hcats.^ Gen- Seiclds- It being understood that this distinguished officer would arrive in this city this morning, a large number of gentlemen, from this city and Hamburg, went up last evening in the i cars to escort him down. Travel to Washington—Winter Arrange ment. The Baltimore Sun of the 9th inst. says— On and after to-morrow, the mail train, which j leaves this city for Washington at 6£ o’clock, !A. M.. win be discontinued. A train will be ; despatched- from the depot, for Washington, on this evening at Hi o’clock, P. M., andcon -1 tinue to leave at the same hour nightly until ! further notice. The train which now leaves Washington, for Baltimore, at 12 o’clock, noon, will be dis continued on and after the 10th inst.; and the running of the 9 o’clock train for Washington, on Sundays, will be resumed on and after the 12th. 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. Major Loring*- The Legislature of Florida has, by resolution, ordered a sword to be presented to the gallant Major W. W. Loring, U. S. A. Major L. pass ed through Savannah a few days since on his way to Florida. A sword is also to be prepared for Lieut M. C. Marin, U. S. N. 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.* If is only nine years since the first gold pen was manufactured in this country;—now they are exported to England in large quantities, where they sell for a guinea each. It is estima ted that not less than one million’of these arti cles afe Manufactured annually, consiiming eight hundred pounds of gold. Central Rail Road ' The Savannah papers contain the reports of the President and Chief Engineer of the above road, submitted to a recent meeting of Stock holders. By it we learn that the earnings of the road have increased over the previous year, as much as $80,423 59. Tho Remains of Col- Mclntosh. The Savannah Georgian of 10th inst. states ' that the remains of the late Col. Mclntosh have been shipped from New Orleans for Sa vannah. Alabama* Both branches of the Legislature meet at Montgomery on the 6th inst. In the Senate, the Hon. John A. Winston, of Sumter, was elected President without opposition ; M. J. F. Marrast was elected Principal Secretary, over his whig opponents Hooper and Sayre, by a handsome majority. Gen. Kidd, of Shel by, was elected Assistant Secretary, after seve ral ballotings. Mr. A. R. Thomas w*as re elected Door Keeper. In* the House, Gen. L. P. Walker, of Mar shall,' w*as' elected Speaker. The House then proceeded t<V the election of Chief Secretary; A. B. Clitherall, of Pickens, was elected on the first ballot ; for Assistant Secretary, P. F. Samuel; Os Tuscaloosa, was elected on the sixth ballot.*' Jimmy OWens was re-elected Door Reaper. W. J. G’reen was elected En grossing Clerk.* A Novel Spectacle- , The New* Haven (Conti.) Palladium states that during the trial of a case in'that city, the other day, the interesting sight w*as‘ presented of an ex-Govemor officiating as judge oh the bench, and another ex-Govemor managing the plaintiff's case, w*hile the present Chief Magistrate of the State was counsel for the defendants. The simplicity of our Republican habits and institutions w-ere perhaps never more forcibly exemplified. Mobile Municipal Ebctien. J. W. L. Childers, (whig) has been elected Mayor of Mobile by a majority of 363 votes. The entire whig ticket for Common Council has also been elected, and 11 whigs and 3 de mocrats compose the board of Aldermen. A loan of $1,000,000 has been recently made to the Michigan Central Railroad by its stock holders, pro rata. Tne rate of interest was 8 per cent, and it is'said a million extra could have been obtained. The stock of this road, w*e believe, is principally owned in New* York city. The average of passengers per day on the Eastern Railroad for the week ending on Sa turday, Nov. 20, was 2136. On Wednes day, 24th. 3574 —25th, 3004 —total in two days 6578.

Most of these were in the wretched hovels of Moyamensing, occupied by the degraded blacks, who have died of disease generated by their squalid mode of life—from the want of medical atten tion and proper nourishment, and from intern* perance, exposure and neglect. The New York Express has a detailed des cription of a splendid ship recently built at Portsmouth, N. H„ at a cost of SIOO,OOO for Messrs. D. & A. Kingsland, of New York, and intended to run as aregula rpacket botw-ecn that port and Liverpool. She is a three-decker, of 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 tween docks, are of white oak, and mould 22 ; inches in the “throat,” and 11 i inches in the* side. All the arrangements of the “Columbus,’* —for this is the name the ship bears, —are said to be of a very superior order; and the Express j thinks it probable that she is the most magni ficent ship ever constructed in this country. ; [ Correspondence of the Constitutionalist .j MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec. 9.
