Gov. TRoup. AGAIN.-We learn from
the Macon Telegraph, and also from a
private letter received here. that Gov.
Troup has written voluntary letter to
Col. Henry &. Lamar, approving Of the
course that gentleman has marked Out for
himself in The approaching election. Col
Lamar avnws his preference Cor Van Bu-
ren-Goe. Tronp sanrlious his choice
Gov. Troup is therefore Van Bmreh
man. There can bp no mistake about ii.
The Wings must give up their pretended
idol, or cease from The support of Granny
Harrison. In this conlrst between principle
aud policy. between consistency and a
reckless desire to defeat Mr.. Van Buren,,
which side will the old friends Of Troup
choose? A majority of them, we fear, will
abandon hoih him aud bis principles

Why ewy Democrat should roie for
Van Bursn. from poor friend
less, aud unaided boy, who laoored during
mis- youth as birelins on farm. he rose
10 the highest Office in the world, by his
o,rn merits. and by his oVn erer'ions-
thus proving that no mailer how poor
man be, in this country, he may rise to
the highest distinction, if he peases, By
his good c"uducI and intelligence.
Because from his earliest youth he has
gone for his country with zeal and energy.
All the principles ofthe Democratic party
have ever found in him supporter and
champion; while all the federal guil-traps
and ialschoods have been by him as
staunchly and effectively opposed.
Because. although the uaceasins object

neither been able 10 defect one blot in his

Because, he has always raised his voice
against the onward strides of the money

Because, he has never hesi,ated about

to all their schemes.
Because. he has never shrunk from an
avowal Of his political creed. His letter
to She rod Williams and his whole history
prove that he is not a lunalic under The

Because, during The late threatening

Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where free from toll and pain,

And sighed for pity as il answered" No."

Whose pillows round me play,
Knowst thou some Gyor'd spot,

Where sorrow never lives,

For hcctncss like Il passing thought;

Upon my maynard path aud then
Her promised sweets my heart bcgnil.d

They turned to all upon my lip.
And have dreamed citizenship too;
For, friendship had thought was made
Tubc mnn's soncc in the shade;
And glad him in the lisht and so
madly thought to find friend
Who's soul with mine should swectly blend.
And as to placid streams unite
And roll their waters in one bright
And tranquil current to the sea,
50 might our happy spirits be
Borne onward to eternity
But he betrayed me ; and with pain
woke to sleep and dream again.
And then dreamed ofloyc; and all

Seemed airy nothnss to the last

lever watch keep the best tme'' One of the dar-
kies con,endcd that the watch was decidedly the
hes, chronometer, for simply by winding it up, it
went night and ay,whcrcas the sun was not to be
seen at all at night, and no one could tell how IT
went or whether it went at all. The other argued
that it wen, by nigh, as well as by day, and that
the reason why it was not seen was very evident;
the world, he sad put the sun in its fob at night to
prevent its works from getting rusied with the dew.
At this logic his opponent gave loud va! Ina
