GEORGIA WING ADDRESS.


the State Of GEORGIA, is a document worthy
OF the cause and of the man who penned L
The following just and eloquent tribute e
"HaFry of the West" leaves no doubt but Il
is from the pen Of Judge BERRIEN.
"The convention have, also, reconsidered
and with entire unanimity reafiiirmed, the
nomination of HENRY Clay, for the Office Of
Chief Magistrate Of the Union. Of this pa.
triotic citizen, so long and SO eminently dis.
ttngRIshed, in the councils of the Nation
whose name is familiar as household word
throughout the length and breadth Of our
land, and who has elevated our national
character both at home and abroad, what
shall we say to you? Shall we pronounce
his eulogy! 1t is written in the hearts of an
sadmiring and grateful people. Shall we de-
tail his services? For more than thirty
years past, the record of them is to be found
in the pages ofour nations histdry. What
then-shalI we be silent! No, fellow citi.
zens! We bear to you the aspirations, the
ardent desires of suffering people. as they
are waited to US on every breeze from the
north, and from the south, from the east and
from the west-of freemen bowling in hum.
BILE submission, to that inscrutable Provi-
dence, which has heretofore wrested from
them the fruits of victory, but firm in their
reliance on the same abiding mercy, which
has been so often vouchsafed to them, strong
to the assurance of hope, which has never
faltered, and turning with unity and unwa-
vering confidence to the FARMER OF ASHLAND,
as the stay, and the hope of his country, Ell
Dec juuGnte, the rcstorer and protector of her
prosperity, and happiness. Prepared for
the struggle which awaits them, they f" hide
their time, and they say to you, freemen OF
Georgia, "Be ye also ready!"
GENUINE TYLER1sM.-The N. Y. Courier
& Enquirer tells the following story. That
1t is true. every word of it, we had been as
Sured by unQuestionable authority, some
time since. Our readers may rely upon its
truth:
One Lowell, a carpet weaver at Portland.
not long since carried ii carpet to Capt. Ty-
Ter at Washington, having his illustrious
name emblazonedsi in the centre. The gor.
geous present was most graciously received
by the Imperial family, every member of
which seem to have set their wits 10 work in
devising some suitable public reward for so
loyal an offering. The Collector of the port
of Portland was recently removed. and no
sooner was the Loco Foco incumbent fairly
IN office, than he was enquired OF whether
there was no vacancy to which the carpet
weaver could be appointed. The reply was
that there was no such vacancy. The Col.
lector was then required to say whether
new Inspectorship could not be created
The answer was that there were already
more inspectors than were wanted tor the
transaction of the Custom House business
new Inspectorship was created, however,
and Mr.. Lowell put into it with a salary OF
$l095 per annum. Of course he will keep
II until the people trupdle Mr.. Tyler home to
Charles City County," in l645, SO that the
people will have to pay between twenty one
and twenty-five hundred dollars for Capt,
Tyler's carpet. On the whole, the carpet
will cost almost as much as Bob's two pc.
ems though it is some comfort that Ahas-
uerus" and Death" have been paid for by
the ofIice-holders, while this office-holder at
Portland has made the citizens of the Uni
ted States pay the price of office. This same
carpet will be immortal-at least 1t will
last as long as the inscription remains legi.
BILE; for neither moth nor cockroach will ev-
er gaaw into such name.
ANOTHER FoRcERY.-We trust that all the
!villany in the land is about to see light,
though the task of keeping pace with its sue
cessive disclosures is likely to prove neither
easy nor pleasant for the chronicler. We
have another case of forgery to-day-how
extensive cannot yet be ascertained. The
perpetratoT In this case was Government
contractor at New Haven, named J. c. Whit
more. 1t seems that banks are in the hab-
it of granting loans of money to Contractors
on certificates Of delivery in anticipation of
the regular payment. Whitmore, five or six
months since, had contracted to make
" Friction Primers" an article used for ex-
ploding artillery, of which he was the in.
vcntor, to tho amount of 1926, 600 for the Gov
ernnnetlt !; the terms were that they were
TO be furnished at $l5 per thousand
Whitmore, however. by representing the
sum offered as 800 per thousand, induced a
man named Burr to engage in the business
with him and to advance $1,000 in cash.
HE occupied rooms ia Brewster's carriage
factory in New.Haven, and had about 100
hands employed.
Within few months past certificates and
navy orders on Mr.. Wetmore, the Navy
Agent in this City, purpor,ing to be drawn
by the naval officers at Brooklyn, TO the
amount of 240O dollars had been offered by
Whitmore and. cashed by the City Bank at
New Haven in anticipation of their pay
nent here. One OF these drafts fell due
few days since, was sent to one of our City
banks and presented for payment to Mr..
Wetmore. He declined paying it however,
10 mSI0 was uV uupltCusc Va tuS NOuCucTs
which in such cases he always required,
and it was returned to the City Bank 10
New-Haven. This led the Cashire of that
Bank, Mr.. Pardee. to visit this city on Sat-
Irday last to inquire into the matter. He
took the certificates, &c. and laid them be-
fore the Commander and Storekeeper of the
Navy Yard, by whom they were signed, and
pronounced them Jorgeries.
Whitmore, meantlmc, has disappeared,
leaving his wife behind he had become
