THB OLD K.VMK, Wo know how Win. Henry llnrrison ( was elected President of the United Slate'S. More absurdities .were uttered by his parti ziins during that canvas, than we ever ex pected to hear during life, whethor short or long. The sftiric game is already in pro gross in regard to Henry Clay. A la'to Ohio paper says he is the choice of nineteen twentieths of the Whigs of Ohio. This the •Editor of the Augusta Sentinel endorses, by saying he is the choice of hun> dredths in Georgia. Now it is known to every body that knows any thing of the in« terior of Georgia, of the “bock-bone” and the "gable end,” that almost the reverse of this is the fuel, and ho one can traverse these regions without meeting hundreds upon hundreds of good and substantial Whigs who go in for the party and many of its leading measures, who vet cannot abide Henry Clay. What! say they, shall we sac rifice the boat nhd dearest interests of the South for the aggrandizement of a single man, because he happens to bo called by the same political name with ourselves? Shall wo lend ourselves to an aspirant for office to rivet an odiotis protective tariff up on us? Shall we become “hewers of wood nnd drawers of water” to northern manu facturers because Henry Clay wishes to he President of the United States ? No, no ; wo are good Whigs ond will stick to our party, but we cannot assist to elevate the worst foe of the South, to the highest office in the Government. We ennnot assist to elevate the attorney of the Chorokees, in the controversy between the General Gov ernment and Georgia, the bitter, rancorous and personal enemy of the State, ond of its inhabitants. THE TEMfERANCE CAUSE, One of tho most interesting as well as Astonishing movements in this country, one thnl will perhaps mark and characterize the nineteenth century above every other occur rence which may transpire In it, is the rnp id progress of the temperance reform with in the limits of the United States. The si multaneous action upon the subject in all parts of the country, the qtiiet nnd almost, noiseless step in which it is progressing, the little opposition made to it from the interes ted and intemperate, tho freedom from all fanaticism or eVcn the appearance tbereo with Which it is prosecuted, all mark'd of a Very peculiar and striking character. We had occasion to visit MaCon nnd Milledgevillc tho wee k after the Conven tion, and had the pleasure of attending a ’tmnperai.ee meeting ih the Baptist Church of the former city during the evening rhui we reinsured thereon our way to Milledgc* viile. It was quite n gratifying sight. The < hutch was crowded with both sexes. An excellent address was delivered by Col. Poe in his happiest manner, Yeplctc With infor rn&lien attd sobtrd argument, tie was fol lowed hy Col. Campbell, in also a highly interesting address, for the most part apolo getic thnl he had not sooner tnkeh pari in tho great reform and become n member of tha society, at the conclusion of which he went forward to the table, nnd enrolled bis name. Thirty-nine new members were lidded, which, with previous acquisitions, made the number of members to the socie ty amount to about two hundred. It was a happy sight to see the youthful of both sexes giving in their names, nnd pressing forward with bright faces and elas tic steps to sign tho pledge. One incident occurred, which we shall not readily forget. An old gentlemnn advanced towards the ta ble (we think it was Gen. Elias Beall) nnd remarked (in substance) that old and strick en in years as ho was, he had come to the determination to join tho society—not that it could be of much benefit to him—he would soon go to the house appointed for all the living—but ho did it to show his ap proval of the cause, and as an example to the rising generation “And now,” said the venerable old man in conclusion, ‘‘l want some of you youths to enroll vour names with me, that when I am gone you may re main to bear witness of my act and pros - ecute the interests of the society.” Two young men, both quite young, instantly n rose, and walking arm in arm to tho table, signed at the same time with him. Milledgoville, we were told, has also a large society there, and much good has been effected by it. Our own Temperance Society, in the city of Griffin, is doing much good, and shed ding a Very benign influence upon the com munity. It has nearly one hundred mem bers, and this is a large portion out of a population numbering less than a thousand, men, women and children, black and white all told. Some few of the young men who joined at the outset, we regret to say, have gone back to “the beggarly elements,” but most of them honorably and magnanimous ly persevere in total abstinence, and make good members. We hope to see the prod igals return again, and renew their first love. We regret to see a neglect of the Society in some measure, latterly-, by the elder and pi ous portion of the community, and really flip yealund devoti'og of jomo of the yoim^ H'Ade, alulMtl uu'i'iiYeV than if moral life, thnVne grim-r personals in this particular. Our last meeting was held on tbo evening of the 4th of July. An oil dress was delivered by R. L. Hunter, Esq. to a crowded artdienee. It was plain and practical, as all such addresses should be. Fourteen new members were added on that night. Mr. Taylor, the reformed lecturer, will be in Griffin on tho third Monday of this month, and will lecture perhaps during tho whole week. All persons, ladies and gentlemen, are invited to attend. THE TARIFF. T ho Whigs of Georgia have picked up n bad customer, as their nominee for the next Presidency. One of the first questions that presonts itself for their acceptance, is tho renewal of Henry Clay’s protective tariff. Will they accept or will they not ? If they accept, what will the people say? Can the leaders of that party induce the rank and file to adopt all his extravagant notions on this subject, and follow their lead? We think not. If they do not a dopl them, what will the Whigs at the East and Wost, nnd North, say ? Yerily here is a quandery ? Nor do they agree among themselves. The members of Congress of Georgia have not yet had their cue, and have voted against its renewal to n man.— What will the leaders at home say to this ? Those who haVe coittc out in favor of pro tection. The following proceedings took place in the House of Representatives, June 15th last: On motion of Mr. Fillmore, tho House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union (Mr. Keenan of Pennsylvania in the Chair.) and resumed the Consideration of the following bill: A BILL, to extend for a limited period the present Is,vs tor laying and collecting duties on imports. He it marled by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Stales of A merica in Congress assembled, That all laws existing and in force on the first .Tune, eighteen hundred nnd forty-two, regulating end fixing the amount and rate of duties te he levied and collected on goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States, and prescribing the mode of collec ting Ihe same, and provisions relating thereto, shall continue and be in forco ns they existed on that day until the first ‘day of August eighteen hundred and forty-two, and no longer,- any thing in the act entitled “An act to modify an set of the fourteenth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, and all other acts imposing duties on imports,” approved March the second, eighteen hundred nnd thirty-three, to the contrary in anywise notwitstnnding: Provided, Thnt nothing herein Contained shall suspend the distribution of the pro eecds.uf the public land, any thing herein contained, nnd any thing contained in tho proviso to the sixth section ol the act ap proved fourth September, eighteen hundred and forty-one, entitled “An act to appropri ate the proceeds of tho sales of the public lands, nnd to grant pre-emption rights,” to the contrary notwithstanding. Afler some remarks from oilier members, Mr GAMBLE denied, in reply to some remarks of the gentleman from Indiana, [Mr White,] that the Whig party, at the late Presidential ejection, contemplated a protective tariff. It was a doctrine that was new to him. and it was not heard of at the South; they had the principles of the compromise on their banners, and not pro tection. and he protested against having a protective tariff fustmted Upon them ns n consequenco of the victory of the Whigs in 1840. He regretted that the chairman of the Committee of Wavs nnd Means should llaVe introduced this vexed question in this way; and he was surprised to hear the gen tleman Irom Maryland base his arguments for distribution on tho compromise, as that gentlomati had hitherto based it oh tho deeds of cession He expressed his regret that these bills had not been introduced at an earlier period, sot he believed a tariff measure could not be matured even by the Ist of August. He then replied more particularly to Ihe remarks of the gentleman from Indiana on tho subject of the compromise; and he asked who were the parties to tho compro mise? Were not the manufacturing inter ests then opposed to the other interests of the country? He remembered thnt the great man who was the author of the com promise was denounced for that act (which had dotie him more credit than any act ol his useful life) hy the manufacturers for surrendering their rights. Where wos the evidence thnt tho principle spoken of bv the gentleman from Indinnn was the princi ple of the compromise? Thu snmo thing harl been asserted at the other end of the Capitol, and as promptly denied. The gen tleman from Indiana said thnt, by terms of the compromise, it appeared that the reve nue was to be raised by duties levied on imports. And had it not always been so? How had this Government ever been sup* ported? Tbe revenues from the public lands formed but a small portion of the resources of the Government. How had the Gov ernment been supported? Sometimes by direct taxation, sometimes by treasury notes, but chiefly by the revenues from imports. The amount received from the lands was a mere incident. There were various other sources of revenue. We at one time derived a revenue from dividends in the United States Bank stock. Gentle men migt jtisl ns well pretend that the divi dends in the U. Statest Bank stock should be distributed among the States, as to divide the proceeds of the public lands. The gen tleman from Indiana said that tho principle of distribution was sanctioned by tho eom prrrmisp bill. Why, til Ural qvne revenue 'V I- 111 upcYs 11.-. bn 1 it a riiVU cull matter to select articles that could lie made duty Iree. In 1837, the distribution ol tiie surplus fund was passed, and if the distribution of tho proceeds of the publia lands was the consideration under which the compromise bill was passed, why did not Congress distribute them, instead of the surplus fund? Why were gontlornen just now waked up at the distribution policy? If this distribution was so expressly under stood, tho limo to pass it would have been when there was n surplus in tho treasury; but now when the Government was bor rowing trsonoy and its credit was sunk to tho lowest State, he looked down upon the distribution as the most suicidal policy that could bo adopted. Gentlemen conceded tlio argument when they admitted that tho Innds belonged to the United States and not to tho States; and thoy must admit that, or tney would have no tight to givo them awoy. But ho had been told that the United States wore only tho trustees for the States. Look at all the deeds of cession and see for what purpose these lands were ceded. In not one of them was there any thing to show that the States ever expected to get them back again Hid tho States who ceded tho lands eVer deed them away for tho silly purpose of getting the paltry pittance that would bo distributed to each under this bill? Mr. G, quoted clauses from some of tho deeds of cession, to show the intention of the grantors at the time of the grant, which was, that tho lands should become the common property of tho whole union. After some further debate, the bill was ta ken out of Committee, riutd a third time and passed—Yens 116, nays 108 ; the Georgia delegation voting against the bill. Astor which, Mr. COOPER of Georgia moved to a rtiehd the title of the hill, so as to designate it as n tax bill for the support of the Gov ernment. lie said this motion-was not a trivial one. It was one of weight nnd substance. lie held that eVety law pttssod : to tax tho people, by imposing duties or otherwise for revenue purposes, was a tax law. All such laws should express their object nnd purpose on their title. This is a law under which millions of motley would be collected from the pockets of the people to support the Government. It in a tax law—tho only law bv which you enh Collect taxes. It ought to bear that title; and yot you can cal! it by the ambig uous title of a bill “foir laying and collec ting duties on imports.” Sir, (said Mr. C.,) l htltiW my constitu ents are ns intelligent as the mass of Amer ican people; and ye! thousands of them do not understand t!u:f this is, in truth, n tax |aw; and that by it, somes 15,000,000 or $16,000,000 may he levied ond collected from the people for this Government. Thousands veiilv believe that they psy no tax to support the Federal Government. tVhat was true of his constituents, in part, (said Mi. C.)hekncW to bo trno of the U nion. Itistiltiolhat tho veil, which has been hung up in the title of our tariff law should bo thrown off, that the common ob server, who daily eontiibutco bin quoin of taxes lo support vour Government, mav see in (ho title of vour laws, an index to its ob ject and purposes. Why would you cover them Up under on obscure and veiled title? Sir, tho people of Geoigia, by the constitu tion, have provided that tho title of every law should express its subject-matter, nnd point to its object. Hence, many of them do not look far tho imposition of taxes to support this Government, Under a titlo “/o collect duties on imports.” Let us call things by their right names, nnd not attempt to cocar tip anything, if you expect to retain the confidence of your people. The amendment was lost, and the title of the hill was agreed to. So it will be seen thnt ns far as the House is concerned Wo have another protective tariff, the compromise act to the Contrary notwithstanding. Tbe bill has gone through two readings in liio Senate, and will doubtless be passed and become a law. THE MANDAMUS REJECTED. The general assembly of New Hamp shire, now ih session, lids adopted resolu tions condemning, ns unconstitutional, and ns an uncalled for and gratuitous intermed dling with the domestic concerns of the States, ihe mandamus section in the appor tionment bill, eommanding the States to district themselves for the Congress elec tions. This is in accordance wgh p n£ , voice of Democracy in Congress. We applaud this manly resolve of thnt staunch Democratic State, which mus puts itself in the van in resistance ID this new Federal encronchmcp* on the rights of the States. Governor McDonald, of Georgia, in a teoapCinte and argumentative letter to a Representative from that State, has de nouced this act, and declared his intention not to call the Legislature togothcr to act under it at the October elections. In Mis souri it must be disregarded, of course; as the election there, under the general-ticket system, comes on the first Monday in Au gust; nnd there is no lime to conform to tiie laW which is now passed. In addition to all the other bisections to this manda mus clause, the country must see that it is owing to this clause that the apportionment bill; which ought to have been passed in the rrtdhth of January, While the State Leg islatures were in cession, is only passed at the end of June! to tho great incouvcni | encc, expense, and disappointment of the States We trust all the Democratic States will follow tho example of New Hampshire— reject the mandamus; and ifthey prefer the district system let them adopt it with a pro teslando, thnt they do it in conformity to their own opinion, and not in obedience to tho Congress mandamus.— Globe.

Central Rail Road. —To morrow, (Ist July,) the cars will commence tunning to tho station on the Oconee 147 miles from Savannah, and 43 lrom Macon. From the Oconee to this city tho grading is nearly complete. One section only remains un touched, which lies next to this city; hut work will'be commenced on it in a few days by the contractors, Messrs Story & Pratt. The work on their section six miles from this place, on Swift creek, at the Lend of Boggy Branch, which i3 the heaviest on the whole rhut, will bo complete in a few weeks. At sue creek the embankment is 54 feet high, and near it a cut of 52 feet, much of which has been a very wet soil of quicksand, &e. difficult of operation. The high bank ot McCall’s mills is also nearly completed—all tho work in the vi cinity is preparing for the final acceptance of the Chief Engineer who is giving it his personal attention. The rock piers on Walnut Crock are nearly up, and the Depot in East Macon is now being graded. Ap pearances promise Us a speedy completion ol this great ivoik, notwithstanding the un totVard circumstances of the times. Macon . Messenger. General Harlan, in an interesting work on India, recently published, alludes to the despotism which the British troops have ex ercised over the people of “Cabul.” Ho coHClu.deS as follows : “Ihe tenure of British India, and con sequently the integrity or tho British Em pire, is at this moment sustained by a sin gle hair, and that so tensely drawn that the slightest adVersh movement will certainly snap BSUrider the retaining power. The thousand native princes of India arc regard ing with intense n.ixiety and ardent hopes, tho movements ot the British army before the Khyber pass, and the fate of Grri. Sale nt Djillalabad. Every able-bodied man, whoso numbers arc not less than five mill ions, covetous and exasperated enemies, is standing with "the foot in tho stirrup a.vd hand on the spear,” gloating on tho hope of plunder which the traditions of old age have placed in fascinating visions before them. The sentinels on the watch-towers, and their runners are in the way, nnd the earli est promulgation of the last reverses of the British in Afghanistan, will signalize tho destruction of every Englishman through out the whole ol India. If the Aftghaiis slaughter the remnant of the British troops under Gen. Sale at Djilik. labad, and defeat tho British army in its projected attempt to forco tho Khyber de* file, the British power in Indio expires in stantly, without and doubt, as it will without a struggle—except the death-throes of their officers, as the navy and nfmy strangled them in their beds.’’ .
