A.U€iHJST-V._ _ _ 'Wednesday Morning, October ‘24.^ "in to day’s paper we give complete returns from all the counties in the Slate, and therefore once more put in our election table, in order that it may bo perfect for future rcfeience. We perceive I hat the return for Walton county, as published in dutiable, gives the Union candidates a larger majority by 150 votes than the official returns received at Milledgeville. 1 his no doubt arises from the fact that the official return did not embrace all the precincts in that county, as we received our statement by letter from a gentleman who was on the ground at the time, and no doubt sent us the true return.— The official return gives the Union ticket about * 400 votes and the Stale Rights ticket at ‘250, making only 550 votes in the counly. Ihe statement published in oor table shows near 1,100 votes, which is about what tho county usually pulls. It sometimes happens that the magistrates forget or omit o consolidate the rclunm ot .oc precincts and we presume that the poll forwarded as official was merely the vote at the Court House precinct. The error could not alter the general result. Wo perceive by the. Southern Recorder that Gov. Gilmer has issued his proclamation announ cing all the candidates on the State Rights ticket as elected to Congtcss. Legislature. Emanuel. —Swain—Sumner. (jj* The citizens of Richmond county are requested to meet at the City Hall, in Augusta, on Saturday next, the 27;h instant, at 11 o’clock, A. M., for the purpose of appointing Delegates to the Stale Convention, to ho held at Miiledge ville, on the ‘2d Monday in November next, in I uisuance to the recommendation of the Georgia Delegates in the laic Commercial Convention. Irom the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser. The following article, which we find in the editorial columns ot the Richmond Whig, we most earnestly recommend to the atleniion of re flecting men. —The political si toggle which now agitates the country, is a struggle between llie friends of purity in the administration of the gov ernment, and those who seek to consolidate and monopolize all 1 deral power by means of a parly, held together through the blandishments of public : patronage. It is a struggle between those who would sustain the institutions under which we have lung prospered and are still prospeting, and those who would jeopard their existence by re st tun ing to experiments that marked the period hofore the 3awn ol civilization, it is a struggle, U, fact, between those whose principles are fitted ■ for and have their foundation in (he intelligence and virtue of a lice people, and those who pre sume upon the ignorance and pliability of man kind to enable them to share the spoils of power I and patronage among llie more cunning and am | bilious leaders. Under the lute and pre-cut adininislrations, our | Government has exhibited traits of proscription j as striking amt as unwholesome to the endurance ! of liber y, and as fatal to the rights of the citizen;!

Under this doctrine there can lie no responsibility at all, so long ns tiio execu tive has at Ids command an army of office holders who derive their places and saluri s directly from his favor, and whose interest it becomes to teach the multitude obedience to his will. There is, \vc repeat it, no executive responsibility, so long as his minions are selected with an eve to their popularity and zeal and their command over the suffrages which are to give impunity to his acts. We cease to enjoy substantial liberty, wo become aliens in our native land, from the moment the hirelings of the government, with purse and per suasion, take the field in defence of the infallibility of their master, and denounce and proscribe all who call in question his patriotism or purity. An impressive warning against this corrupting con flict of executive patronage with tha freedom of elections, lias been handed down to us as a lesson to he remembered, hy the fathers of our republic. | It has remained for the present executive and his illustrious predecessor, to disregard the voice of wisdom, to unkennel the pack of parasites, and to invest them with the order of Apostles of Lie moctacy! From one extremity of ifi e Union to the other, the office-holders ore out preaching to the people, and the embodied essence of their discourse is, ‘-we are the true expounders of liber ty and equality!” In view of these and other hip' handed en croachments upon the puiity of o institutions all lending to their ultimate des,. action, it be comes those who value our system of govern ment and feel interested in its preservation, to make every laudable effort to awaken the people to their danger. This duty does not belong to the public press alone, but devolves itself upon each and evety good citizen. The “Tenth Ue gion” of Ctcsar were not more faithful and un scrupulous in carrying out his projects of ambi tion, than are the mercenary cohorts who live up. on the bounty of the public treasury, in advan cing the political power of the, executive upon whose breath depends their official existence, in the language of air. EA’ing, *we are contending with an army of regulars, and we must discipline the.militia,’ or onr liberties are gone. CONSIDERATIONS FOH THE PEOPLE.— If, in j thg. present contest, the executive, by means of its ! dependant subordinates and a pensioned press, I shoffld prevail against the people, one of the most ! obvious consequences will bo the establishment of ■ the executive on a basis no more to be shaken by j popular opinion.—The und.sciplined resistance I •* •> i .1 .> i .} 014 ‘±4)7) V iO > of ( ho people to the marshalled and mercenary 3 cohorts ot the Government, must forever prove ) futile itinl unavailing. If, with all the odds new • in their favor, they shall ho beaten down, or he t successfully betrayed by their rulers, they may - well despair of any better fortune in lime to come, i The power of their enemy will wax stronger, i while theirs will wane with each succeeding day. i —VVe may still console ourselves with the recol , lection that ours was once a government of and f fur the benefit of the people; but wc vv.il he nna r hie to close our eyes to the hitler Lrutli that it has 3 become one exclusively for the benefit of the ot . lice holders. These latter will constitute the su -3 preme and undisputed matters of the State. Wc 3 may still split hairs and cavil about abstractions, - hut all power, for good or for evil, will he transs ' ferred to irresponsible hands. We may bid adieu 1 to all hopes for retrenchment and reform, for con i gressional inquiry, and for honesty and incllicicn • cy in the administration of affairs. Those only I who have the power to grant inquiry and produce t re (inn. will he most deeply and directly interest. . ed in defeating both. The victory they will have < gained by corruption, will partake.of the nature f of the means employed to achieve it, and which 1 will surely he relied upon to retain it. The in ■ viticihilily ofa bribed press and a profligate exo ) cutive will he made manifest, anil they, with in > creased powers for mischief, will he depended on • to put to flight the undisciplined forces of the • people. No administration, since the formation of the ■ Constitution, has been so sternly rebuked by the , popular voice, and so suddenly precipitated into ■ a meagre minority of the people as that which ■ now rules over us. The signs warrant the asser tion, that it has wholly lost the confidence of the i enlightened and patriotic portion of the country, 1 and that its public acts are viewed with deles,a lion by an overwhelming majority of the people, including, of course, many of those who strenu ■ cmsly aided to ole.-ale it to power. What effect have these unequivocal marks of popular dt-ap • probation had upon our rulers I Do they give ■ forth any signs of relenting? Do they manifest any disposition to turn from the error of their , way, and, in accordance with the democratic prin ciple they so boisterously profess, pay any heed : or respect to the declared wishes of the people? So far from this, with an insulting and braggart I impudence, they charge the people with being > bribed by the banks, and threaten to force upon , 'hern their destructive measures in spite of all their lamentations. They pm in requisition all the f patronage of the execu'tve, rally ibeir whole b ind of drilled stipendiaries, and turn them loose upon J the country to u'eiawe suffragans, and influence 'll!) 429 419 402 433 433 ' *he elections in the stoics. They, liy their acts, 3 avow that they rely for support upon the power 1 of the Government, ami not upon the people, and 3 that by means of the former they will subdue the 1 latter. —Richmond Whig. » From the S'rw York Courier Enquirer. A new and most alarming power is introducing 1 itself into our elections, which if it ho not aires" - led, threatens total annihilation to our whole sys i tern of government. It is the power produced -by a combination of Sportsmen and Blacklegs, -for the purpose of betting on results, and who, a heedless of any political object, hut hem solely , on gain, bring into action the knavery ami trickery ' of the faro table, thimble-rig and cock-pit. Men, t in appearance respectable, and possessing the - means of appearing in respectable places, arc the plotters in the first instance, and in the execution f of their plans, call to their assistance, the ready 3 artifice and unscrupulous villany of the hangers . on at horse races and gambling houses, Their 3 first great.attempt Was made a' the last Pre-.-'en -3 tial election, in Puladelphia, when a pack- d sla 1 load of passengers from the Western part of the - State, anived with a list of pretended Whig ma • jurilies, and as all swore to the same thing, with - out any apparent concert, or even i.ei|uatnlance 1 with each other, it was of course Indicted Bets a were made there instantly, to a large amount, mi l some of the gang were wailing here to pounce s upon‘.he plunder they anticipated, when the f'a -2 hricalcd intelligence rea died this city. Nerwcre 3 they disappointed. It is calculated that between 1 the lime the accounts were received here—one or • two o’clock in the morning and day-light—at 3 least eighty thousand dollars went Let and 10.-t in , one hotel in this city. - Wor is the election which fi ts just closed in i Pennsylvania, loss pregnant widt important les • sons on this subject. All the pape s concur in t staling that at least half a million of d liars were - pending on the result in the city 1 f Philadelphia 3 alone. Now, men who have half a million oh t dollars at stake, may well ri-k a fourth or fifth of r it, in order to secure the gain sf the whole; and ■ vve put it to any ot)c acquainted with the character I of the people in Some of the election di.-'picls in I every Stale and viih that of the superintending t officers of election) selected by them, whether one ; hundred or two hundred thousand dollarsexpen -1 ded there, would rot completely overwhelm a fair 1 r and legitimate ex pression of the public voice. { 2 Look again, vve sy, at the last election in Penn- • I sylvania, and then the hand of the thimble riggers 1 may he plainly icon.

We are very thankful for this, os were the hots all now paiil, it would 1 B'vo tin' gang imo million of dollars, with which to operate on the coming clccti oi in this State. New Jersey, at the very moment almost wo j write, presents anollier most striking illustration I . 01 lhe ««» "f the blacklegs. The Whigs were i , confident of succc-s, for they rooolloclod their ; t , last majority, and know that nothing hail occur- ! , red, which could legitimately, have turned tho I i ' cut rent of public opinion as then expressed. . ; Jho confederated gatnhlers notwithstanding 1 i 1 i "'T’ 01 's° , Rroum, » 1,1 Philadelphia, 'J’rcnton. ! , i and New lotk, ready to hel that the Slate would I go for the Administration, and taunting tho I ■ wings m all directions to take them tip. (incur- I , lain however, as to the final succesi of their i villainous operations on the election itself, they |, must play a surer game. Tho election’ was j , scarce over, when a false return of majorities in j , many of the counties was artfully conveyed to < the Whigs and published by them as true. These v returns were I anded to the conductor of the mail t on the rai, road at J ronton, which Ire gave to tho i captain of the steam boat at Amboy, who still , cautious, inquired of tho passengers what they . knew. Two or three were, of course, placed among them to confirm the account given hy the Conductor, which thus corroborated, was impli citly believed hy the captain, and communicated : hy him to. the newspapers of this city. Tho 1 gang next wanted time to operate, for in n day , or two tho deception of giving the Whigs a majority oi 1,100 in llnrlmgton county would I bo discovered, and to gain lime the official returns i are delayed, even to litis hour. Is it possible i otherwise that the actual slate of the polls in 1 counties not thirty miles from Trenton, and not one hundred miles from New York, should not <’ ho known in six days, with channels of communi' cation so frequent and so sine'! We do not pro l <1 tend to say what returning officer is in the plot, or has received some live or ten thousand dollars to v t.o dilatory, but this we do know, that foul play i alone could have delayed the official returns so long.—ln the meantime, the sporting gentlemen are hero and everywhere; first betting with the j Whigs, against large majorities, and then, that t they would not elect their whole ticket, whilst the plunderers well knew that the large mojorily was I fabricated hy them, and that the election is so , close, that probably tho lowest on the whole Whig ticket is not elected. The arts practised by them during this interval to keep up the spirits of the Whigs would bo amusing to think on were they notin their consequences too serious. Letters, it was pretended, were received from notorious Loco Toco loaders in Trenton to Loco Focos bore, admitting that the whole of the Whig ticket was elected by a small majority, these were com municated vvith great mystery to some Whig or tho other, who finding the Loco Focos themselves give up the whole election as lost, of course, con, eluded it must be so, and yet be. had not probably 1 proceeded ten steps, before bo met a Loco p'oco I who offered to bet him that it was not, and the ) Whig relying on the intelligence so kindly im i parted to him by his Loco Foeo friend, look him f up! In short, the same infernal villany which lures the unwary on to ruin himself at the gam bling table, has been put in practice here. ; ft * H in view in this state of things, that we feel it a solemn duty to eail upon tho Whigs of thr* United States, henceforward to abstain from bet ting on elections under any circums’ancos what ever, however promising they may appear to he. It they will bet on lire corning election in this I state we shall loose it. If they refuse to do it, we shall carry it hy as triumphant a majority as we did last fill. When bantered hy their oppo. nents to hot, let the Whigs consider lire banter as a proof of weakness—as proceeding from a tie ire to inspire confidence, where no confidence is felt, 1 ami treat it with contempt. This course, not only is imperative at the present moment, but at * all times hereafter; else wo shall soon see the ballot box placed entirely under the control of the heroes of the duo box and card table, Fiiaxt tic lent 15anic Tiiansaction.—The good people of Amherst were astounded a few days since, at learning that fraudulent transactions to the amount of ahou* $17,000 had just come to light in Amherst Lank. It appeal's upon a rigid I investigation of the allarr by the directors, lliril I Mosely Clapp, of Orange, in Franklin county, some five years since obtained u loan of about $1.7,200 a< that institution, and at its maturity, t being unable to rner t it, by specious promises, be ] persuaded the cashier, ,Vr. Hoof, without the ' knowledge of the directors, to accept his private t note lor n short lime, and thus release the end ir sirs. Very soon Clapp made application for more money nvering that Iris failure was inevita ble mile s ho obtained it. and hence the other amount of course would fall noon the cashier I’m payment. To secure hat, Mr. Hoot was induced ‘ to loan him more money, and subs'ijuenlly, upon the various promises of Clapp, and entreaties at different times, and with the final hope of being able to obtain tho whole amount, did tho cashier continue to advance money to Clapp, unknown to the directors, until tho sum reached about $17,000 ! —Thus, for about five years his Clapo had the cashier entirely in his power, and having once been partners in trade, Mr. Hoot felt utilitm iled confidence in Ins reiterated promises and in legrity. Having once taken a step) for his old partner’s relief, to avoid exposure and with the ultimate expeetud .n of regaining tho money the cashier was over persuaded by a benevolent heart and weak moral principles, to become a partner In ibis painful tissue of villany. The explosion of tho whole matter resulted from the recent failure of Clapp. When it bc etime known to the cashier, he was struck will, astonishment, and upon close interrogatories lin ing put lo him. In' i immediately made a full and frank confession of the whole transaction to the .( directors.—Ho was immediately discharged from ‘J tin: institution, and after surrendering up all his 1 own private property, the sureties on his bonds are amply able to make up any deficiency, so that al the bank will probably experience no loss, and of _ course its resources are unimpaired. It may seem sotnew hat singular that so large a defied ncy could be kept from the knowledge of the directors lor so runny years, hut at every examination made into the affairs of the institution the money loaned i lo Clapp was fraudulently charged on the books , to distant bunks w ith whom they had open ac s couioH, and bunco such long continued and sue cessful deception.

These statues are troni the chisel o( t tat oxqm-itc genius—the Burns of sculpture— ■‘o,lL 1 here sits Sir Walter in his ordinary dress, and w ith his stout, spiral walking cane in his hand. The representation is superbly fine; life, soul, genius—all are embodied. i ho coal, vest and neckcloth are as natural as tl they were from the hands of au Edinburgh tailor, and Souler Johniu himself could not have made a more natural pair of heavy hoots; if they were only annoinlcd with the extracts es Day and Marlin, liny would cheat the best cordwatner to tlie J rudes Union. This is the only statue extant representing Scott in modern costume. Old Mortality himself has a face of magically real ami rich expression, his position, general appear atlee and dress aru of correspondent perfection, with those of (he novelist himself. The faithful quadruped, except that the sculptor has made hinr sleek, according to the tasteful license of his art would pass for the original portrait'.
