THURSDAY MORMNO, JUI.V 11.
FOR GOVERNOR,
* II Alt I, E N 1)0 1 GII EItT V .
OF CI.AHK for \tt.
The Federal Union and oilier papers of the
Mine party, arc attempting to create the impres
sion that Judge Dougherty will not unite the en
tire strength el the State Rights parly in the ap
proaching election for Governor. If this be the
only ground upon which they banc their hopes of
success, they may make themselves perfectly easy
as to the result ot the election. They pretend to
see the evidences of this supposed want of unani
mity, in the proceedings of the Convention by
which Jadgc It uigherly was nominated, and en
deavor to create the belief that some of the friends
of Col. I minor are so dissatisfied as to refuse their
support to Judge fi. Equally vain is that hope
and unfounded the inference drawn from the ac
tion of the Convention. The friends of Col.
L i mar are among the staunchest and oldest friends
ol State Rights, and while parties are organized
ns at present, it is worse than folly to suppose
that they arc ready to sacrifice both principle and
friends in a contest of such paramount importance
os that which is approaching.
’Hut w hat are the farts in relation to the nomi
nation of Judge Dougherty? The Convention
was the largest ever held by the State Rights par
ty since its organization— two hundred and thir
ty ballots were cast. On the first ballot Judge
Dougherty received 117 vales, being u majority
of the whole. On the second Imllot, (and not on
the third as erroneously slated by the Federal
Union, and Columbus Enquirer.) he received
178 votes, being a majority of more than two
thirds of the whole Convention, that being the
number requisite to a nomination. JJut the Fed
eral I nion, whilst it strives to make the impres
sion that serious divisions existed in the State
Sights Convention, makes some awkward admis
sions as to the action ol the Union Convention,
by which Judge McDonald was nominated. It
says “on the first ballot, Judge McDonald receiv
ed within one or two votes of a majority of the
whole meeting, and on the second, he was chosen
by an almost unanimous vote.” The divisions
then in the Union Convention were greater then
those ol the Slate Rights Convention on Ihe first
ballot. On the second ballot in each body a
nomination was allccted by large and overwhelm
ing majorities for the n induces of the respective
parlies. What is the inference! Why that
the nominations of each party were made with
pretty much the same unanimity of feeling.—
Two years ago, Judge Schley was nominated for
re-election hy “almost an unanimous vote.”
Gov. Gilmer was nominated as his opponent by
a bare majority of one on the second ballot, in
the Convention assembled for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for tlie State Rights
paity. Here is the vote on the second ballot,
Gilmer 91, Eainar (>9, scattering —a meagre
majority ol one—not two thirds of the whole!
Act Mr. Gilmer was elected in spite of Governor
Schley« “almost unanimous’' nomination, lu
the late State Kiglils Convention, Dougherty re
ceived two more than a majority of the whole ou
they?/ - */ ballot, and more than two thirds of the
whole on the second I And yet the Federal
Union pretends to see in this the evidence of fa
tal divisions in our parly. It is about us good an
argument us the potent one that Judge Dougher
ty had been defeated once; and both together
constitute such a prodigious array of barriers to
his success, that it wdl be an occurrence worthy
of the attention of the curious, if they do not re
vive the falling fortunes of the Union party.
Some hints have been thrown out in the Unb n
papers about a speech made in the Slate Rights’
Uonvcntiou by Col. Jones of Muscogee. They
may say what they please about that speech, with
out any murmuring from us, if they will only toll
us, anil tell us true, about a certain other speech,
made by a distinguished member of their parly
an a certain other Convention held in Milledgc
ville lastwinter, about the time Judge McDonald
was nominated! The Editor of the Federal
Union says he was present at the time, will he
favor us with a sketch ?
The following letter written by John Adams,
on the day after the signing of the Declaration of
.Independence.deserves a place not only in history,
“but in the hearts ol all Americans. Whatever
may have been Mr. Adams’ after errors in politics,
he was a patriot, whose memory should be cher
ished by every friend of liberty ;

“Stu: V esterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated in America; and
a greater perhaps never was, or will be decided
among men. A resolution was passed, with one
■dissruuug colony, that these V, tiled Slates we,

"The day is passed. The 4th of July. 1776,

with pomp, shows, games, sports,guns, bills,

the toil, and blood, and treasure that it will cost

that posterity will triumph, although you and I
may rue, which I hope we shall not. lam &e

From the Southern Recorder.
We have been utterly unable, after the most
candid onauiry.lo discover the first solid reason
that should induce the South u, sustain Mr. Van
Buren. The result ut the calmest consideration
is, that he has not. as * politician, one pnneipl •

The South is thoroughly anti-tarilY—Mr. \„n

Hut strange to tell, (he advocates in Georgia of

l irill man, one* who has voted tor every tariff law
—even to the last iniquitous lull, which stripped
the agriculturist of the Nouili id ins hard-earned
gains, to laden tin* -Northern manufacturers—
who Jevi d a (ax from the slave-labor of the South

Hut what have the friends of Mr. Van Him n
to say for him on this subject, For our lives up

gratifying.
W arc rejoiced to be able to announea, an we ;

some time must elapse before he will be able to (

c
Kvtu u t of a Letts* from tiov. Tuoup, a
to John Foiisvtii:—“The people of the Uni- I)
led States, content with their political institu- A
lions, ask nothing of their rulers but purity in o
the administration of ihcir affair*. Disinte- n
restedness—singleness of purpose for the public d
weal—sincerity and plain dealing on lire part ol i
all their functionaries, from the highest to the n
lowest, fidelity to every trust, and slrietaccounta- I
hdity in the discharge of every duly, to the ex e
elusion of selfishness, intrigues, tricks and de
vices of low cunning to gratify parly passions,
and to subserve sordid interests, Tiuckslcrings
and barteiings, ami all the rest, they will cheer- J
fully leave to the mountebanks and jugglers, to
whom they more appropriately belong.”
The above extract contains one ol the severest
rebukes to the present administration that we
have ever met with. Our peculiar form of go
vcrinneul has excited the wonder, and command- |
ed the admiration of the whole civilized world; ,
and its triumphant success has done more toward (
the promotion of liberal prineiplcs in the old
world, than any other event within the last five
centuries. Under this form of government, our
country lias prospered, mere ised in strength, and
advanced in every useful science and general
improvement, 'with a rapidity unparalleled in
the history of nations. Our admirable consti
tution, the result of the wisdom and virtue of the
sages of Ibe revolution, lias insured to our peo
ple the enjoyment of every blessing which true
Iti alv is capable of imparting. Under this con
stitution, every citizen is in reality a freeman,
and however humble and obscure bis station, Is
entitled to tlie privileges and political rights of
the lotliest and most highly favored citizen of the
Republic. Honest industry, though clothed in
ruga, always insures respect and is not suffered
to go unrewarded ; mid every inducement is held
out, and every encouragement is given to enter
prize and honorable ambition. I uder our free
institutions the mind, unfettered, has full scope,
and the humblest citizen may aspire to the high
est stations of honor and trust in the gift of a
free people. The freedom of speech anti of the
press, and the liberty ot worshipping our'ltod ac
cording to tie dictates of m r own conscience,
are amply secured to us. It is essentially a go
vernment of the people, and with it the .people
are content. Hut they must recollect, that its
preservation, in ils purity, depends entirely on
themselves. It therefore becomes their bounden
duty to watch with a jealous rye, the conduct of
their rulers, and promptly put down every faction
which may invade the temple of their liberties,
and every administration, winch may attempt to
change the character of their government; al
ways remembering that “the price of liberty is
eternal vigilance."
Uet the people try the present administration
by the standard of tiov. Troup, and see bow it
will bear the test. They will find that it has
failed in every particular. Instead of “purity in
the administration of its affairs,” they will find
it has been conducted on tin piinciple, that “to
the victors belong the spoils,” and sustained by
open bribery and corruption. Instead of “disin
terestedness," they will discover that self interest
has been the guide of all its actions, and in place
of “singleness of purpose for the public weal,”
they will find that the public interest and the
country’s good, have been sacrifced to the grati
fication of the baser passions, and an inordinate
selfish ambit on Instead of "sincerity and plain
dealing,” it will be found, wc have had nothing
but deception most'gross, and humbuggery most
foul. When we should have had “fidelity to
every trust,” we have witnessed on the part of
| our rulers the palpable violation of all their
I pledges, and shameless treachery to those prin
ciples which elevated them to power. Instead
of “strict accountability." our rulers Jiave a>-
knowledgcd no •■accountability” to any establish
e 1 tribunal, but have despotically “taken the re
sponsibility,” of violating the known will of the
p Mple, i ml razing to the dust all the barriers to
absolute ) o.ver, which had been established by
the pitii is of the revolution. In short, “solfish
i e.s, inliigucs. tricks, and devices ol low cun
ning to i r.i ity party passions, and to subserve
j sordid in ere-Is. hucksleriiigs and barleriugs,"
j winch tuV. Troup, tiuly says, -appropriately
1 belonged to mountebanks and jugglers,” have
; most sir kingly characterized the present admin-
I islration. Will the people sustain an udininis
- trillion if ‘mountebanks nud jugilcrs! ’ II
i they will, they will etc lwiie« hnif their intermix !
, sacrificed, mill iheir country mined and eternally j
a disgraced! They will discover when it is too
■ late, that they have Is ell h ickul out of llieir
It! e-ties, and ‘juggled” into the iron cinl'raeo
e of despotism, It is for the / leople and the i-to
d r le alo vt. to avert the catastrophe.

I The lovera of the Pine Art* have expressed a
I desire for the establishment of an Academy of
Pointings; (for wbirb we understand the legisla
ture of Georgia has granted a bill of incorpoia-
L tion.) An opportunity is now offered to promote
and encourage so useful an establishment, which
will contribute so much to the i t lleelual ini- j
provement of the youths of the country. Mr.
Labitut, equally skilful in music as in painting 1
and polite literature, has exhibited, for some days
past, at Mr. Read’s Lottery Office, three large j
paintings, which he offers now to be disposed of
by raffle, according to an advertisement to be seen
in tbct.'ity papers. Should the Academy of Fine
Arts be organized, Mr. Labitul’s intention is to
become an active member <>l it, by producing at
different times specimens of bis art.
It is to be hoped, that in so enlightened »
community as this is, the citizens of Augusta,
and especially (be amateurs of the Fine Art*,
who have so often rewarded merit, will ftn-.w
Mr. Labatut, with a share of their patronage, !ly
a rail at Mr. Read’s Lottery Office, with the xiiew
ol inspecting the paintings and forwarding (be
raffle. Mr. L. has labored under disease fat tho
last two years, sustaining great losses; he will,
therefore, be doubly thankful to the ciuaems. of
Augusta., for a share of their patronage, in the
different branches of his profession—as as por
trait painter, in large, or in miniature, anal as a
teacher of drawing.— C t tn.'litulionu/ls A
The Moiimons have excited a good deist ®f in

persecutions to which they have been revrntly
exposed in Missouri. It is stated in the report
given in the Cincinnati News, that they were

Ihe .Mormons stated that there veene instances
where men were murdered in rofd blood, am)
boys, who had taken shelter from Ihe fury of the
mob, were dragged from their hiding places;, and
after being cruelly maltieated deliberately shot..
In one ease an old man, a soldier r$ the revolu

not escape, turned and supplies,ted their mercy,
Ihe reply he received was a rdiol from a rifle,
which wounded him mortally ; he still Iresougbt

The Globe begins to “palaver” the merchants, j
expressing its surprise that they should feel Ims- ,

one of the leaders is fresh in the memory d ull.
“Perish Credit—perish Commerce,” still rings in
the ears ol thousands who have been ruined by
the policy ol our bile and present rulers—and yet
Ihe organ of the Spoilers has the effrontery to
claim credit lor promoting the interests of the

It claims merit, too, for a reduction of the Ta

Anecdote ok General Eaton.— General 1
Eaton, soon after his arrival at Tunas as Ameri
can consul, received a visit from tine -Spanish con
sul attended by his confessor— Padre Antonio.
Consul Eaton welcomed him by the appellation
of Sir, instead .of Ihe fatherly title-he claimed.
The confessor took fire at ibis inso-It, amt obsti
nately refused to repeat bis visit. At length the
French consul gave a dinner for tin- purpose of
having the Spaniard's dignity healed. The con
suls of-.ill nations were present. Mon*. Dubois
broke the business. Consul Eaton, I have ob
served with some uneasiness that a coolness ex
ists between you and Padre Antonio. 1 have ob
served a coolness, replied our consul, on the part
ol father Antonio, hut I am unconscious of Hav
ing given him any cause of offence; he may
perhaps have quarrelled with my faith ! No sir, |
replied the Catholic, when I was first introduced
at your house, you received me with the title of
hur; 1 claim the appellation of Father in virtue
ot my holy office. General Eaton, piqued that
the tSpauiard should carry his punctilio to such
an unchristian extreme, replied. Sir, 1 have too j'
much regard for my mother to call you father ;
hut as you seem determined to claim a relation
ship; I have no objection to calling you uncle.
This raised the laugh against the Padre, and he
very good naturedly after this took the title of
uncle.
A Weuuing at Ska, —A Paris correspondent
of the Now England Review, gives the folic-wing
sketch of an interesting scene which eccurr d on
hoard the Ship in which he sailed from this
country.
A wpvel circumstance look place while or. l our
passage which I must relate: There was a Mr.
11. on board who was formerly a merchant in
Massachusetts, since in Connecticut, and late of
New-York. He was a kind, open-hearted fellow,
| full of fun, and withal very intelligent as well as
handsome. His ego aliout twenty-sevin. He
came on board an entire stranger to us all, hut as
w e made it a point to have but une f until/ on
beard, and as we soon discovered Ins amiable 1
qualities he was very soon made a welcome mem
ber. On our sixth day out became lo me and
enquired the name and circumstances of an el
deily gentleman passuiger who was accompanied
by bis daughter, with whom Mr. H. seemed deep
ly sra t mi. For my own pr.rt 1 could see noth ng
ex -cedmgly attractive about Miss J. save that be
was very agreeable in her manners and highly
intelligent. I informed him, and at his request,
gave him a formal introduction which terminated
in the following manner.
Soon after ihe introduction it became rv.dent
! that a mutual liking and affection existed between
j Mr. H. ami Miss J. who, from the open expres
sions of fondness, began to attract tilt- attention of
all and the admiration of many ol the passengers.
They were frequently observed in their close con
versations and a game of whist was scarcely ever
played in which they were not partners On the
second Sunday of our passage, we solicited the
Rev. Mr. Cl. who was on his way to Italy, to
preach u sermon, lly the politeness ofCnpt. N.
a large awning was spread above us, seats were
prepared, and a congregation of seventy-six per
sons, including the steerage passengers and sail
ors, was collected to participate in the religious
exercises. A small desk was formed into a pul
pit, and a choir was formed by •‘going into a com
mittee of the whole.” The text was read and
the sermon delivered, of which I need not speak.
At the conclusion of the sermon, our minister rose
i r.nd read the following card which lay on his
j desk :
“VVm. Bkxtlev H , Esq., of New
{ York, intends marriage with Miss Maiiia
Louisa J .” We were more surprised nt
the novelty of the thing than at the fact itself,
and indeed, such was the feeling created by the
sudden and unexpected announcement made,
that we all forgot the serious impressions made
on our minds by the minister, in our hearty vo
ciferous congratulation of the happy pair, But
it did not end here. A proposition was made to
the parties to have the affair eonsumated that
evening, which was cheerfully acceeded to by
them to the great pleasure to all on hoard. Ac
cordingly tilings were arranged to order, the best
state room was to lie given up to them, and every
one fell gay and happy as the hour approached
which should witness the consumation of their
nuptial vows. 'The evening was calm and de
lightful ; not a sail fluttered in the breeze; not a
voice was heard; nCt the least stir or bustle
about the deck, and the moon looked down in
loveliness on that tranquil scene. As at noon,
every soul on hoard gathered to the temple, which
had been erected for religious worship, and in
less than fifteen minutes the marriage ceremony
was performed by our worthy minister, who made
a lew remarks and closed with payer.
The scene was truly us sublime as romantic
The lair bride came out, dressed in a robe of pure
w hite satin, leaning on the arm of her lover,
hound to the altar, and heard her marriage vow
pronounced where only an hour or two before
she hud uttered her vows to God. Many a tear
of joy bad stole down the tin eks of tl •ie who
looked on, and not a care cast the shadow of its
wing across that scene of triumphant love and
bliss.
The novelty of this affair had thrown ns all
into an excitement, and nothing was to he talked
of but weddings, wedding parlies, marriages at
sea, love, honey moon, <Scc. &c. and I was at
times half to the queen like Miss C., if for no
thing else but the purpose of having the juke
puss round.
The Gambleiis.—Our citizens have entirely
expelled the gamblers from Jackson, and at pre
sent we believe that there is not a single gambling
house or a single “faro hank” in thcciiy. A com
mittee of vigilance has been appointed, whose
duty it is to see that the “black-legs” do not reas
semble. We have it in our power, now, to main
tain order and honesty in our midst, witli but lit
tle exertion, and it is sincerely hoped, that onr
fair city will in future be preserved from the foul
stain which has heretofore rested upon her repu
tation.
Tncre is something to admire in the mode
adopted by our citizens for removing the gamb
lers. They proposed employing none hut legal
means. The code of Lynch was not put in re
quisition—no violent and outiageous tumults oc
curred. All was peacefully,yet firmly couducted.

EVANS’ FAMILY VEGETABLE APERIENT
AN PI-BILIOUS PILLS.
Being composed of ingredients which exert a
spceilic action upon the heart, give an impulse or
strength to the arteral system ; the blood is quick
ened and equalized in its circulation through all
the vessels, whether ol the skin, the parts situated
internally, or the extremities; and as all the sc
eiclions of the body are drawn from the blood
there is a consequent increase of every secretion,
and a quickened action of the absorbent and exha
laut or discharging vessc s; any morbid action
which may have taken p'aoe is removed, all ob
structions arc overcome, the blood is purified, and
the body resumes a healthful state. The circula
tion, that impoitant function, was not known to
the great Cclsus, Galen, or Hippocrates ; therefore,
their deficiency of knowledge led them to extract
the vital fluid as a curvative means; but upon the
principles of the circulation of the blood, the prac
tice of bleeding is proved to be fallacious.
It has been left to the directors of this society
to bring forward Dr. Wm. Evans’ Medicines, found-
I ed upon the important knowledge imparted to the
world by the discoveiy of the circulation of the
blood.
Evan's Family Vegetable Aperient Anti-Bilious
Fills, are sold in boxes of Twenty-live cents each.
THESE MEDICINES
after much anxious toil and research, having been
brought by the Directors to their present state of
perfection, supersede the use of the innumerable
other medicines; are so well adapted to the frame,
that the use of them, by pieserving the vital strength
in a pure and healthy state, and consequently
maintaining the body in the due performances of
its functions, cause it to last many years longer
than it olh i wise would ; and the mind to become
so composed and tranquil that old age when it ar
rives, will appear a blessing and not (as to many
who have neglected their constitutions, or had
them injured by medicines administered by igno
rance) a source of misery and abhorrence.
“Even from the body’s purity, the mind
Receives a secret sympathetic aid.”
A pamphlet with general directions for taking
the Pills, always given in at the store of the agent.
DR. WILLIAM EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP,
f FOR CHILDREN TEETHING.
To Mothers and Nurses.—The passage of the
Teeth through the gums produces troublesome and
dangerous symptoms. U is known by mothers

1 | frequent and sudden tits of crying, watching*
starting in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar parts ■
| tiie child shrieks with extreme violence, and
thrusts its lingers into its mouth. If these pre
cursory symptoms are not speedily alleviated
, spasmodic convulsions universally supervene and
! some cause the dissolution of the infant. Mothers
; who have their little babes alllicted with these
distressing symptoms should aoolv DR w

One great quality of his Vegetable Pillsis, that
they have the alternative principle combined with
their cathartic, or operative qualities, so that they
not only cleanse the stomach and bowels by purg
ing, but they regulate the liver,change the morbid
secretions, strengthen the digestive organs, purify
the blood, invigorate the circulation, and give tone
and energy to the nervous system. ~
