The movement in favor of this Loan! itt progressing snrressf.illy in the Nerlu'l ern cities. 1 lie Financial Cmnmiilee of Pliilatlelphi i, appointed some time since j by the German population of that city to 1 have the management of die Fund, and to take the necesiry steps to omiii-! ey, lias been (says a writer in the New York ltnics) in session once or m ne, limes every week since the departure of Prol. Kmkel, receiving the reports its mem Iters, who ueie entrusted with tile sale ol shares, anti pushing Inrth some ne.v resolutions for the promotion of die Loan, I Iley established, for instance, difleient i 1 ri’S, and succeeded in ongag- I ing all the musical associations of pliila-! delphia for a great concert, the proceeds of which are to destined to the Loan. This is but one of the various means! adopted in aid of the general object.— I The riter say s.’ “ But the importance of dm resolutions of last nit lit l>y fur exceeded that of all previous proceedings. You are perhaps aware of die differences which exist amongst the most disdiigushed persons ol'tlie German emigration at London.— Ihe Germans ol tins place, convinced that united strength only w ill carry the victory, made the union ol the different sections at Loudon a condition fir their support of die Loan. But at present, seeing that all their efTurts to restore tin* ion are in vain, and apprehending that t lie con tin ucd ill.putts would he of great disadvantage to their sacred object, they took at once the matter into their ow n I ands, anil passed si mr resolutions wide li, if earned out, will prove of excellent in fluence, both upon the national loan, and the European revolution. Tin v resole ed, Ist. To appoint the 15th of J muurv next as the day w hen a Coven/ion of De legate* shoal,l vice fin the city of Phila delphia ; the delegates to be chosen by that part ol lilt? /lmcriean people which is in favor of supporting a European re volution, both by word and act; 2d I liis resolution to lie communicated to the association of revolutionists at litis ton, the Democratic ‘association at New York, and Mr. Kinkle to second the movement and he in attendance.” This movement assumes a great ini portance when it is considered that the German population ol the United Sta'es is ip die neighborhood of five million souls. The Mormons. Various accounts from Utali represent that lerri oiy as in a stale of revolution. | The United Slates officeis, judges. In-1 dian agents, See., have been forced to like to their heels. A rorre-jnindent of the St. Louis Republican states that die $20,000, appropriated by Congress for public buildings, ims been taken to pay off die debts of the .Mormon Chimb; anti only a short time Indore the U. S. officers left, the Mmmon Governor, Young, called the Legislature together, secretly, nnd pasted resolutions, and issued orders for die s inure of twenty five thousand doll it s more from the hands of I lands, the Secretary. Harris persisted in retaining it, and it was only by die aid <d’ an injunction from the Snrpreme Court that lie was able to do so, anil get away with die money. A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune. stales that Harris w as pursued, overtaken and searched by the Mormons, hut dial they ditl not succeed in securing the rash. The same writer says that the Mormon Governor declared at a meeting of nearly 3000 Mormons, that he ac knowledged no allegiance indie United Slates Government, and that lie would resist to the death, any attempt to exer cise power over him. He also stated that the he had lately come from Heaven, that Gen. Taylor was in Hell, that the United Stales Government was going there, anil he didn't care lioyv soon. This Miirmniiism is the vile-t and most extraordinary imposition of modern times. It originated iti Western New York, sitt In* bed of ahnliiinniain, and of all other turns. Joe Smith the discov erer of the Mormim Bible, was.a nolo r.ious blackgor.id—coarse, sensual ami cuNuiug. ||e first established a Mnr iiian colony in Ohio ; trorii there, in con sequence of their vicious pr.u ti’ ies, they were forced to remove to Missouri ; there, their crimes soon made the rminiry too hot to li dd them, and they pitched their tents in /lliuois.. Their conduct in Illinois was ahu mi liable beyond descrip tion, and t’aev were rooted out by the civ il until irities at I lie point of the baronet, and Joe Smith, their leader, was slain Up to tile day of his overt’ r nv, Joe Stni It Jived in the most shameless immorality. Hebad at least a dozen wiv * and upon the kV/hlesl provocation, would torse like n pirate. Snell was, unquestionably, the true character of Joe Smith, and liis • Apostles were worthy followers of their ci lii.-f. rite Mormons have at last set i tied in tlit- great Western wilderness, i with no one to molest them, or to make q them at mill, and yet they rained keep quiet, Inn turn upon the United States Government, and like vipers, strive to siring the imsum which has sheltered i them Irnin ilestiuetioii. ‘I lie gre.it pmiciple of Mormon prac tice is > jilnialiiy of wives, liis that w hnli gets them so many converts. — ; Asa in >tier of course, they deny this, 1 but all decent men who have been so i unfortunate ns to visit their settlements,’ j say there is no doubt whatever about : the fact. Mulder and robbei v ol die t '* gentiles,” as they call nil who are not j Mormons, are considered vjrtues. M j limnetauism nas a far supperior religion to that nl ilie Mormons. The practice ol polygamy in the East is ol an ancient origin, and is in accordance with the creeti ol those who practice it, and with j the custom of the country. Wiili the < Mormons, it lias been introduced in i>| \ : position to the commands ol'tlie G'hris j tiin Bifile, which they profess to believe, in opposition iti the custom of civilised j nations, atul in accordance otilv with | their own brutal appetites.— Richmond j Dispatch. .Tlillcdgcxitlc Ci>ri'cs|ioiidi'iicC Sji vaiitiali Heptibliciiii. MILLEDGEVILLE Nov. 25, 1851. The Democratic party, that is, those who were fire-eaters during the two last campaigns in Georgia—but who now mortified by defeat, wi,h tocliange tlit-ir name to that of Democrat—met to-night in die House of Representatives, the until her of fire-eaters who attended was small, ns -ill who hail been Whigs, held aloof from the tlemtmsiation. ‘I he meeting was organized by the eal ing ol Mr. Joseph Day of Junes to the i hair. The Hon F. V. Jonsnn, , Chairman of the Committee previously appointed to draft a pteamhle anil Reso lutions, came forward and read the report, I witch he prepared. Its purport was to bint out the sail accidents of the past, to recognize the Georgia Platform of 1850, lor the future, anil to have a pure Dcino • eralie Convention to assemble at Mil ledgevil'e next y ear, in order to appoint i Delegates in the Baltimore Convention ! After the presentation of the Preamble and Resolutions, the lion. Hugh A. Har i alson addressed the meeting. His re . matks were ptiui ipa’ly relative to his mural position ill tiie recent struggle, • which he Slid “ was very like that of (lie ox, between two stacks, he did not know which to choose.” J lie Southern Rights Secession Party went 100 far one way, so lie could not agree wjth them, and die Union Paily went too far the other, way, so he would not join them. He never approved of the Compromise, but ex pressed an ardent desire to burv those un pleasant reminiscence of by gone days, to forget the past dissensions and striig- I gles, and gel the di moeiattc Party once j mere in play. lie was <• quite willing” be said in receive the wanderers buck into the fold tjWtmoiraey, a lading to Cobb, Arnold, (diat lion, Warien, Ward, An drews and Anderson and such other men ! And lor the Whigs, as they would be welcomed 100. They would not even at the eleventh Imnr, shut heaven’s doors upon Toombs, Stephens, Jenkins and Bartow. ‘ Foi while the lamp holds out to bum The vilest sinner may return.” Tiie ridiculous character of the invi tation, was so apparent, that it rivaled a perfect storm of laughter throughout the audience. Even the fire-eaters latiglir-d, a- if lie hail said something wrong and they w ere ashamed of it. When Mr. Haralson concluded, the Hon. W. T. Colquitt, rose and made a speech, tlie character of which would he most difficult to describe, as it was a com bination of fire, fury , and coffins, Idas* plienunis language and vulgar stones. 7t was however to do him justice, a S'to liter fire-eating speech than was expected, with the exception, that he heaped more abuse on the old Whig party, than was generally done in the last campaign.— ‘Fite question now is. where will the poor rejected Southern Rights Whigs go? “this was the oiikinrleis cut of all.” But .Mr. ColqucU fought with a double-edged sword, striking at bulb Whigs and Dem- I ociuis. lie made a most unpleasant nl- I lusiim to the Southern Address and its . signers, hitting hard upon Judge Jolm . 8"n silling near him. In short, he dis- I inteired many old tinpleasonl scrapes of . both friend nod foe, which his fire, eating . friends ditl not at all relish. Mr. Col . quilt siys that he has retired into private . lift, though line w ould judge from the egotistical strain in which he indulged, I toil ill” hints which drnped, wilfiot much , notice, that lie would nut object to pub* lie lilt*, if lie had half a chance. Like all . his * (forts, the one on die present occa was iulcrspers-d with offensive vul . gutriv, hideous grimaces, and droll , i low tißli action, more suitable In a cir .idis nr a theater, than a deiberalive as e 1 sembly. Like Mr. Haralson though i, more squeaoii-h, he would not object to | receive liis old associates back into the so s j lulled Demon atje fold ugnin, if thy come, which is an important qualification.— He would also ctwdesced to take the Whigs by the hand, provided h< wevtr, they will fall down ami worship him ! Thus ended this farstcal show. The question is will the Union Democrats ac cept the invitation so patronizingly ex tended and return to the arms of’ their neglectgd love ! They'll do o of course.

For Clerk (Superior Court—W. W. Corbitt. For Clerk Inferior Court—W J. Collins. For Tax Collector Wm; Sliealy: Foi County surveyor Elijah Williams. For Coroner John Cox. Dtculedly Unkind, Unbecoming Un genlleinanly and Uncalled for. —In the Georgian of week before last, we gave our m iglibor over the way a good humored hit, politically, in relation lo his hoisting the name of Carles J. McDonald for \ ice President. In answer to our arti cle, lie has seen fit to tumble out confu sedly, from the rubbish of liis brain, an article without arl, invention, judgement, wit or learning, harsh, rude, insolent, in discreet and ill-composed, pouncing npo n a private individual, that had no connec tion with the mailer either directly or indirectly, and using him as a hubby to ride over us 11 rough shod.” Not satisfied wnil making a burlesque of poor Me. lie must seize upon some opportunity ho tv* ever uncalled for, to attempt at best, sarcastically as he thought, lo make a’ burlesque of one of his ow n advertising customers; Reason—we suppose, be cause this same customer pairnnzed the Georgian also, and directed liis card placed before the public precisely as it now appears. This is the second lime that the Editor of the Democrat has look occasion to interfere with the private af fairs of our paper, — first, in reference to our Prices Current, w hich interferem e was as equally untimed and uncalled for as bis nonsensical article in rekiiion I o Dr. H’s Advertisement. Now we should have thought that a tnan who possessed such an inexhaustible store of egotistical bombast and *• big words” as does the Editor of the Democrat, could have com manded suffictient material j to w liave “ used os up” completely, without re sorting lo the low and ungentlemanly act of handling the name of an unsuspecting private individual, in a retort on us fur an article which no construction could have been plaeed upon to justify. We hope our neighbor of the Demo crat will in future, so djrecl liis bombas tic sarcasms as not to interfere w ith mat ters which are entirly foreign to liis sub ject and do not in the least concern him. A Change in the Magnolia House. We are happy to acquaint (he public wiili the fact that Mr. Blow, formerly', of Macon, who is an old an experienced hand, at Tavern keeping, has associated himself with Dr. A. M. Thomason ol the .Magnolia House, where he will ever he found ready In receive and accomodate all who favor him with a call. Eating Saloon.

So I goes and gits on old Beck Mule, and rides up, and sez J, you see the way dial feller Bil Jinkids, lie sez all he can about the north, and then sends rite tliar for his miliierry fixins. Well ime gwine to git mine in Texas and be a honest man. Just about then they called for me, and Bil Jinkins, to, if we war willin to count the votes, sez lie ves, . • any time sez I.—Well ilia begin, and ihey called out Jinkins, Jinkins, and none for Smith; so l begin to think 1 was a gone sucker ; and 1 w alked out ol the Court house, down to Jim Davises Grocery and sc? I, Jim, lets settle—wel s>ez lie, here’s y our count; thiriene dollers and three qurlers.

VV7LUM GINKINS. i House of Representatives. On the call of the Counties the follow ing Bills were introduced and read the first time: By Mr. Tift, a Bill to authorize the Savannah and Albany Railroad Com pany, to make and use Plank or RJc- Adainized Roads in connection with or in lieu of their road and branches, and to authorise the State to assist in the construction ol said road, on certain con ditions therein named. By Mr. Smith, a Bill to compensate owners ol Slaves executed for capital offences Mr. Thurmond presented the peti tion of John J. Flournoy of Jacltson County, praying the repeal of the law which declares the deaf and dumb idiots so far as to appoint guardians for them ; also to establish the right ol Polygamy. This latter crotchet must have taken a very tenacious Imid of the hrain of Mr. Flournoy, for I remember he was before the Legislature, four years ago, with a i similar petition. 1 wonder he don’t re move to Turkey, where he might enjoy i the ptivileges lie is asking for, without I . ] requiring the united wisdom of.tlie State to frame a law to enable him to enjoy a wile or two more. 7 By Mr. Thurmond, a Bill >o authorize husbands to collect, st.e for, and recov er all the property, real and personal, of their deceased wives without administer ing on their estates, and also to prescribe their liabilities for the debts and con, tracts of their deceased wives in certain cases. By Mr. Stephens, a Bill to provide for the repairs of the State Road, and to incorporate the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, The oltjed of the Bill is lo sell so many shares of stock in that road as will leave the Slate lioldThg a majority of ihe sto. k, and lo have the road managed by a company. Mr, Stephens stated that the Bill had been sent lo him for presentation to the House by Professor McCoy, of the University of Georgia, and that he did not offer ir as containing his own views. The Bill was referred lo I lie committee on intern al /mprovenieuts.
