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 ; 4 Ft! ILI li K Ll’ll IA, Jl LI 5, 1771). “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, and of right ought to he, free and independent Stales. "The day is passed.

You will thiiik me transported with enthusiasm, but lam not. lam well aware of the toil, and blood, and treasure that it will cost to maintain this declaration and support and de fend these States; yet through all the gloom I can sec rays of light and glory; I can see that the end is worth more than all the means, and that posterity will triumph, although you and I may rue, which I hope we shall not. lam &e “JOHN VDAMS.” 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 • in common with Souberu interests and feelings. The South is thoroughly anti-tarilY—Mr. \„n Buren has voted for every t irilfbill ib„t bg. been passed su o he enu red public life.

Hut strange to tell, (he advocates in Georgia of tliis man tor lie* Presidency, c laim the vote of the ; Slate on this very point. They boast as an nnti 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 to put to the wages of the manufacturing opera lives at the North. These are the larilf princi pies ot Mr. Van Huron, as evidenced by the best ol all possible tests, Ins actions—these are the | anti-tariff principles ol Martin Van Huren, so i hnided by bis advocate's, and for which they claim j b»r lii in ih • support ol the very people he has so much injured. Hut what have the friends of Mr. Van Him n to say for him on this subject, For our lives up on it, when brought to the test, if any thing is brought forward in bis behalf, it will be found on ly to be a fun/, in opposition to the uniform action of his political life. Hot how (bey can non suy •my thing on this point, that will tell in lavorol Mr. \ an Huren. seems to us to he impossible. The best they can even uny, allowing them to make-out their own ease, is that Mr. Van Huren for (be* last three ye ars of his hie, has been right, and of consequence, that -ill his fanner course' was wrong.

W arc rejoiced to be able to announea, an we ; feel we are authorized to do, t"hnt the disease wliicb has prostrated our worthy Governor for i many weeks past, has been overcome, and that be may now be considered convalescent. Such ' however is bis stale ol debility, as to preclude for tin* present even the visits of bis (lienils, anil ( some time must elapse before he will be able to ( leave his room, or even bis bed. Most heartily . do we congratulate the country that it is not yet to be deprived of the services of one of the most , faithful and meritorious public officers it ever possessed, winch tor many wswks ausuiud to bo , so probaole a result. 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.

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 terest in I incirmati, where one of ti« nerl lias been giving a history of that people aiudi «f the persecutions to which they have been revrntly exposed in Missouri. It is stated in the report given in the Cincinnati News, that they were ruthlessly driven from their homes, their piuqicr iy destroyed, the women and children fijreedl into t e w o f, without shelter bom the inclemency ol the weather ol January, where (Huey iMDatiiu d about till llieir feel became so so:e that, iheiiireiie niies tracked them by their foot-prints.of Wood. 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 tion, was pursued by u mob, but finding he could 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 them lo spare him, when one of the party picked up a scythe, or sickle, and literally backed him to pieces as lie lay on the ground. Thomas Morris, formerly 11. S. Senator, ad dressed the meeting. “lie said he had been in the vicinity of these transactions, and bad taken gome pains to ac quaint himself with the facts; and from all lie could learn, the Mormons were an industrious and harmless people, that no specific charges bad been brought against them by the executive of" 1 Missouri, but that their persecution was for no other reason than that their religion gave offence ! to a mob—lor causes which may at any time in duce the same perseeulion. of any religious sect 1 In our land, lie said he believed the statements ‘ made to be true, and that they were corroborated 4 I y those who resided in the vicinity of their oc currence. The Globe begins to “palaver” the merchants, j expressing its surprise that they should feel Ims- , tile to the Administration. It undertakes to show t the peculiar solicitude of tien. Jackson and bis successor f r the great commercial interests of the country; and this, too, while the declaration of 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 merchants ! It claims merit, too, for a reduction of the Ta i ill. in the face ot the recorded facts that Mr. Van Hutch voted l»r the bill of 1828, and opposed the t omproimse ! But the impudence of the Official furnishes fresh capital for every emergency. Mr. Van liu- ' ren is now in the great Commercial Emporium, and 'the homoge ot the Merchants is courted for him. JJut that intelligence which enabled ibis class to deter! injury lo their pursuits, will prompt • hem to despise the shallow artifice by which they aic now attempted to be cajoled. —Richmond Whig, j 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.

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.
