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.

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.’’
