CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. A I! (iI!STA. TUESDAY MORNING, JUi.Y 23. FOR GOVERNOR, CIIAIt I- E S DOlMi II EU T Vl, or miiK COUNTY. The Columbus Argus. the Editor of which some lime since declared for Van Huron, ha* now come out for Dick Johnson, for the Vice Presi dency. That paper discoursed! as follows: "As to the Vice Presidency, as matters at pre sent stand, we are very much inclined to support the present incumbent; first because we believe he has some very Rood republican principles about him ; second, because we think bis opponent will be a United iSlales Hank man; third, lieeausn we do not think one term is sufficient pay for killing Tccumsch, if he did kill him. and if he did not it is not sufficient pay for the humiliation of feeling he must have suffered in silently perrnit tiiiß his friends to claim for him the credit to which ho was not entitled. As to Mr. Forsyth, wo look upon him as out of the question, the leaders of the Van Huron party are not going to run him, because Van Huron can Ret the vote of Georgia without his aid, and he might by possibility get Kentucky by holding on to Johnson.” Now this is rather cold comfort for the Van Horen papers which have stuck up Mr. Forsyth’s name at the head of their eskimna, as their can didate for the Vice Presidency. Hut there is colder comfort still, in store for them. Listen to him on the Governor's election. After dealing a side blow at the Editors of the Recorder, which he doe. verv handsomely, about the “big and tbo little iniquities,” he holds forth alter the follow ing fashion;— " Hut to return to the candidates : we shall commit the little iniquity and support Dougher ty ; and we shall support him as a choice of evils. He is an advocate of the Stale bond system ; so is McDonald ; —and for that cause we would boat them both if wo could. We consider that question in the election of a Governor us impor tant as that of a National Hunk. We believe that Dougherty does, and always has believed the establishment of a National Hank by Congress an unconstitutional exercise of power.—We do not know whether he prefers Clay to Van Hu ron for President, if he does wo suppose he will not attempt to do any thing for him. McDonald we have known many years and have always deemed him the most unadulterated Federalist we ever knew; he has always been a bank man, and we believe has believed in the constitutionality of a protective tariff and the internal improvement system. We have heiml it rumored of lute that he believes a national bank unconstitutional; wo hope he has not said so, for while we have enter tained high respect for Ins private character, we f have believed that his honesty was the only rc deemingtrait in his political character. We may do him injustice in the opinion, hut we believe that devotion to the powers of government is so deeply interwoven with his nature, and that his inmost soul has so long bowed down and wor shipped at the sbiine of general government su premacy that it would he impossible for him to bring himself to feel that the creation of a Nation al Hank by Congress would be a usurpation of power. We thought the nomination of Judge McDo nald by the Union party exceedingly unfortu nate. The candidate of a party professing such decided and inveterate hostility to a National Hank and to all lutitiidinnrian construction ol the Constitution ought to be above suspicion on these subjects.” We commend the above to the Savannah Geor gian and Athens Hannor, and others ol the Union Editors who chuckled so much not long since over the Argus when it came out lor Van Huron. “The most unadulterated Federalist wo ever knew !’’ This is certainly the most comprehen sive expression the Argus could employ, and it unbounded latitudinurialilsm in politics consti tutes a Federalist, we agree to ills truth of the assertion. But what is to become of the Argus 1 But a few short weeks ago, the Van Burcn Editors hugged its Editor with a most nffiecliouato and loving embrace. Ho was pronounced then the very personification of “impartiality !" What will be done with him now ! Will he be east out I Wo shall wait with impatience to see the result. Wo rather prophecy, however, that they "won’ 1 , let on ns if they heard him.” They will bile their thumbs and keep dark. “Tun most i suh i- TEHJtTKO FkUKRULIST WK KVKB KNEW ! !” And from a Van Uurvuito too! That will do for the present. The Vice Presidency. The impression appears to be very general, that the present Vico President of the United •Status will not boa candidate for re-election ; and hence, the friends of t'ol. Denton and those of Mr. Buchanan have recommended each as (it to fill that office, and entitled to the support of the Republicans of the Union. It has been stated in some of the public prints, that both of these gen tlemen decline u nomination for the Vice Presi dency . Under these circumstances, 1 beg leave to call public attention to the distinguished man who now represents our country at the t ’ourt of Great Britain. The offices which Mr. Stevenson has filled, &c. &e.— l'ntjtiirer. This is a sign, which bodes Tecuniseh no good. But whence was the "general impression” that Col. Johnson would not be a candidate lor re election. derived ? Not from his late letter—for in that he asserted he was in the hands of his friends (not the Richmond Junto) and knew of nothing at present, which would prevent his be ing a candidate again. This is designed as a hint of the disposition of the clique here, in whose nostrils the savoury fumes oftlie ilesh pots are forever ringing. They want the Colonel’s place for one of their number and he had as well retire and save his credit by doing that volun'arily, which he will have to do by compulsion.— Richmond _ Whig.

Question. Did you or did you not, on the 3d day of March, 1821, hy the, direction of Richard Henry Wilde, Esq. anil Samuel Hale, acting as tlie agents of the Hank of the State of Georgia, take forcible possession of the Georgia end of the Augusta bridge from John McKinne and Henry Shultz! Witness answers that In- did, hy the direction of R. 11. Wilde, Esq., plaintiffs’ attorney, levy on the Augusta bridge, and by the direction and personal assistance of said Wilde and Samuel Hale (who requested witness to summons them to his aid) take from Henry Shultz, hy violently seizing his person and forcing him from the gate, forcible possession of the Georgia end of the Augusta bridge, but on what particular day ho cannot now tell, as his books and papers arc at his residence in Dooly County. Question. Did you or did you not, hy order of Richard 11. Wilde, Esq., acting as attorney for the Stale Dank of Georgia, receive the toll of the bridge on the Georgia end, anil did you or not de liver up said Georgia end of the Augusta bridge to some person, and to whom, who received it as the agent for said hank ? He answers, that by direction of R. 11. Wilde and Samuel Hale, acting as agents of Ihe Dank of the Stale of Georgia, he did for a considerable lime receive the toll payable at the Georgia end of the bridge, hut in consequence of the want of his papers knows not how long. During his ab sence from Augusta, (hy leave of the Judge of the Superior Court, while court was in session, carrying convicts to the penitentiary,) an order, as he understood, issued from the Superior Court of Richmond County, directing the keeper of the bridge to deliver it to certain persons therein named, (which persons were directors of the hank,) which order was obeyed, and possession, during his absence, accordingly delivered, hit knows not what day. Question. Did you or did you not, after the Uridgn Hank had stopped payment, receive mo ney from llcnty Shultz, in payment for bridge hills ! If yea, what amount. Witness answers that ho did receive from Henry Shultz, after the Dridgo Bank stopped payment, large sums in payment for bridge hills, ( hut to what amount docs not recollect. Question. If you know of any thing else of importance for the complainants state it fully ? Witness says that he did, hy direction of R. 11. Wilde, levy on the Augusta bridge an execu tion against John MeKinnie, in favor of the Dank of the State of Georgia, and another execution, obtained for bridge hills, as lie understood, against Henry Shultz by David Eeion, whose interest, witness, ns sheriff advertised to he sold under said executions. That on the sale day the money to satisfy I,cion’s judgment was tendered to wit ness in lulls of the Hank of the State of Georgia, amounting to about four thousand dollars, which Mr. Wilde refused to receive, hut demanded spe cie or an immediate sale of the bridge. The whole conduct o( Mr. Wilde and Mr. Halo in the various transactions connected with this business witness considered oppressive in the extreme, ex hibiting a settled hostility to Mr. Shultz, and a determination to obtain the bridge at as great a sacrifice as they possibly could.

Editors ; Will you be so good as to publish the following account of the celebration r in Boston, of the 4lit inst. from the Boston Cou it rier. A good thing should not he lost, and with » out entertaining anv hostility to the temperance y cause. 1 hope you may find room for it in your d columns. My motto is “laugh and grow fat!” From the Motion Courier. TVe.Total Celebration at Uoslon. The assembly at Faneuil Hall was not quite so magnificent as had been expected, owing to the singular circumstance that a great many peo~ if pie did not want to go;—an accident that al ways puzzles the lee-lotallers, when they try to c explain it. However, there were enough of them to help each other sit down, so we take it for granted they all found themselves comfortable— ifa tce-tolallcr ever it comfortable in his constant horror of the “comfortable creature,” Wc did not hear of any accident in this preliminary part of the solemnity, for which wo trust they duly congratulate themselves. No person wan admit ' ted who could not spit white, and those who had ■ cobwebs in their throats were allowed the upper end of the table—an honor justly due to so une • quivocal a mark of total abstinence. Those who could show “mealy months” claimed the next I rank, though there was some suspicion of certain crafty ones among them, wbo were caught with sawdust in their pockets, which they slyly rub bed on their chops, shamming a sanctimonious dryness. Several wet quakerswere surreptitious ' ly smuggled in, while. l)usly Boh, the doorkeeper, was regaling himself with a bottle of bay; but all “old sails” were savagely denied admission, as their very appointive would have operated as a provocative to drink. The officers consisted of a President and sis -1 teen Vico President*, being one for c very gallon 1 of the impossible tec-total statute. There was also a Committee of Safety, consisting of nine 1 tailors, appointed to lake care of all who got “sew ed tip” on cold water. The President sat on a bundle of straw, to signify dryness, and the Vice Presidents had each an empty jug at his button hole, marked “Female Domestic." The “nivalv mouths” were furnished with armchairs, because they had no occasion to crook their elbows; and tli e wet quakers sat on the edge of a shingle, to show what sharp dodging they could practise be tween principle and policy. Dinner being on the table, the grand -temperance yardstick was curried round to measure every man’s face, a process which took up considerable time; but as tee-totallcrs do not pretend to have any stomachs, probably the delay did not incommode them. All the faces having been found of sufficient length, the signal was given, to fall to. The rules of the dinner were, that every man should eliew little, drink less, and swallow nothingat all. The President dined with a hung in his mouth; the Vice Presidents only shook a stick at. theirvict- U| dn ; and the guests gave three eheersevery time they didn’t drink anything. It happened, there fore, as it always does among the tee-totallcrs, that there was more noise than work, and dinner was soon over. The regular toasts having been drunk out of empty glasses, the President an nounced that a song, written expressly for the occasion, was ready to he sung: and ho request ed that every person who designed to take a part f in the melody, would swallow a handful of saw- I dust, that he might sing as dry as possible. Dr. 1 Daniel Dryasdust then stood on the head of an f empty beer-barrel, and led the strain ns follows: The Dry Dummies. i An Anti Bachanallan Ode. Tunc —“Drops o’ Dust.” My jovial eodgers! What a show ! Was ever such n bunch in townl W Three hundred “dryhoncs” in a row: Jolly companions, come to blow It out like sack at this tee-to tal dinner we’ve been munchin' down ! Churns.

Alter the song was concluded, the tompany took an empty glass all round, and the speech making began. We regret that we are not able to furnish a full report of these masterly exhibi tions ofeloquer.ee, but our inkstand was unfor tunately sucked dry by one of the female domes tics that waited on the table. We shall endea -1 vor to give a sketch from memoiy, and go dry shod over the wlmle ground. ’ Colon nr. Coppkknose rose to address the Chair. He hoped the company would keepcool —it was a glorious occasion to keep cool : he had been trying all bis lifetime to keep cool; and the number of cool things he had done lately was “a ! 1 caution," as people say. For instance, had’nt he ! thrust bis nose into every man’s porridge, to , | serve the great cause of temperance I People ‘ • who bad porridge-pots grumbled at this, but the " ! fact was that the porridge was all the cooler for , it. Ho begged leave to make one cool remark: he > had done the State some service with his nose. J and lie took it upon him to say that no cooler • | means could be devised to promote the glorious '• i cause of tec-totalism, than for all modest gentlc s 1 men of the coppernose stampjo thrust their smel j lors into their neighbor's porridge pots. Depend | upon it. nothing will cool the public mind and | the public porridge but this. These were terrible times: society was in an “awful stew,” when eve ry man instated on cooking his own porridge. He hoped the united voire of the assembly would go forth in a roul declaration from the cradle of liberty, and inform the world that thedescrndanls at tie heroes of’76 were resolved not to be sad dled with the liberty of eating and drinking any longer! 'cheers.] Bat to return to the subject— with all his coolness—he was not cool enough for one tiling, and that was to arrogate to himsclt all the coolness under the sun. There was his friend the Hon. Mr. Humm, had also done cool things in his way. Had’nt he made a hundred thousand dollars by trading in rum, and now hav ing retired from business, was’nl he a tip-top tee totaller,crying out that rum-sellers were robbers and murderers? [Hear. 1 hear!] He rccom | mended the great example of Mr. Hunim to the whole world, and he particularly commended his noble behavior in coolly refusing to refund a cent of the money which he had acquired by robbery and murder. [Cheers.] Again he must say to them—keep cool, do the coolest thing you can. Tce-totallers arc noted for having the coolest way about some things ! Let them strive to grow cooler and cooler, ami never do a single thing ■without saying, “Is’nt that cool !” [ Great cheering.] Doctor tSlipsop begged the indulgence of the c meeting while he attempted a scientific exposi j' tion of the great subject. The matter might be ! treated in various ways, “But,” said the Doctor, i - I shall go into alcohol ; I can say nothing but f. alcohol; 1 wish to say nothing but alcohol : —1 | need say nothing hut alcohol. My mind is full t of alcohol; my thoughts are full of alcohol; ! head is full of alcohol, and I was a going to say, i my stomach is full of alcolyol. The only way to t do any kind of good at the present day, is to cry “alcohol !” It is the imperative duty of every man to leave his business and his home—his wife, children and friends, ami run up anil down crying “alcohol!” “alcohol !” I think it would be a capital device, and contribute to bring about a tremendous moral revolution, if vve could have parrots, jackdaws, and hoh-o-links, taught to cry “alcohol ! alcohol ! alcohol!” Surely there is no doubt that everything troublesome in society, government, hydrostatics, meteorology, and the (Jopeinican system, arises from alcohol. What makes volcanoes, earthquakes, tulfoons, scolding wives and mad dogs, hut alcohol 1 What keeps up the price of green peas '! alcohol. What j makes movchetoes bite ? alcohol. Who upset the house that Jack built ? alcohol. AVho killed cock robin ? alcohol. Who cut off the tails of the Kilkenny cats ? alcohol, alcohol, alcohol! In short alcohol is hero, alcohol is there, alcohol is everywhere. It is utterly astonishing how much alcohol there is around us, and how little some folks appear to he aware of their danger. It is quite hazardous now-a-days to cat a potatoc, for ton to one, there is alcohol in it. I don’t dare go out of an evening, because I am convinced there is alcohol in moonshine I repeat it therefore, vve ought to talk of nothing, think of nothing, and dream of nothing, hut alcohol—alcohol—al cohol ! ! [lmmense cheering.] Mr. Goodman Dull then rose to speak, and alter hesitating some time, he only informed the company that he couldn’t make a speech, hut if any gentleman would make a speech for him he was ready to hold his hat. [Great cheers.] Mr. Fussfuddle, Corresponding Secretary of the Busy Body Association, rose to state to the meeting that he had invented a patent temper ance screw auger, by which any genuine tee lotallcr might boro his neighbor’s ribs through t and through in the true spirit of inquiry, i Dr. Drinkwater moved for a committee to sit upon the town pump and ascertain whether there ! was not too much alcohol in it. Phis proposition caused great alarm in the assembly; several gentlemen with red faces im mediately stuck their noses into the pitchers. A loud hiss was the consequence, which raised such a panic, that the whole assembly immediately cut and ran. In the confusion of the scramble the following was picked up from the door:— Jonathan's Independence. Tu »e— Yankee Doodle. Father and I went down to town, With crockery ware and wooden, And there we found the dough-pates all As soft as hasty puddin. Yankee doodle keep it up, Yankee doodle dandy, Empty bottles you may suck, But not a drop of brandy. And there I spied a hundred ton Os chaps, as I’m a sinner.

And every toast they tooted off, 1 heir throats were dry as powder, And made a noise like little pigs, They couldn’t squeak much louder. \ ankce doodle, keep it up, &c.

' I Some sickness prevailed in Houston. It was reported that an army of 4l)M) Mexicans r had advanced to Matamores. This intelligence • made little impression on the minds of the Tex ’ ians, whose attention was principally turned to 1 the Indian frontier. A large body of Tcxians, 1 regulars, volunteers and militia, had marched to ‘ the Northern frontier, where it was understood " Indian parties from 20.trihes were about to meet s them. The result was expected anxiously. The ■ Texians, it was said, were determined to compel ! the Indians to abandon the Northern counties, 5 and it was thought the Savages would give battle 1 rather than consent. We shall not know the ' result of this meeting for some weeks. ’ More than 100 persons are said to have already • squatted nn the site of the new capital of Texas on the Colorado; and it was thought the compe ' tition would he very great at the approaching : sale of the lots. • 'The citizens of Houston appear to have had a very serious brush with the gamblers. - It is said the cotton crop of Eastern Texas will ‘ this year fall little short of 20,000 bales. Besides the marauding parties of Camanehes ’ on the Western frontier, the trade between Tex* 1 as and the country beyond Rio Grande del Norte is now said to suffer from the depredations of land pirates, or armed bands of while men, who \ plunder alike Mexicans and Tcxians, when the S > offers.

My infant, when teething, experienced such acute sufferings, that it was attacked with convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp ; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuiug in its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth arc ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I give you my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, and will gladly give any information on tins circumst; me. WM. JOHNSON.
