THE GEORGIA MAJOR ON TEXAS.

THE GEORGIA MAJOR ON TEXAS.
Mojor Jones is ont again in the Madison, Ga.
Miscellany, with letter, in which he entirely
uses up the "LoKrFoKxroKIEs,'' as he calls
them.
The Major is a Georgia planter, who give the
world, in his former numbers, a most amusing
history of his courtship, marriage, &c. His let
tiers are of the Jack Downing order-and the fol-
lowing extract from his letter will not fail to
strike our readers with the hhmor Of the review
Of the course of the democratic party:
They, Che lokyfokypokies) mus: think the
peoples got no more sense Than they h as honesty.
or they wouldn't dare to try TO bamboozle 'em in
the way they do. A little while ago. they told
the people that the worst thing they had agin
the Wings was the domination tariff, as they
called it-now they is runnin a ring tail stub &
twist tariff man from Pennsylvany for Vice-Pres-
ident. II little while ago the worst feature, in
the domination Wing tariff was discrimination
and reasonable protection,' and they cussed Mr..
Clay for tina; lik he was a pirate, and awore all
''protecton"was s!egalized robbery and pluadeT"s
and now their candidate for President ses in his
letter 10 Mr.. Kane, thathe goes forsDIscRIMisA-
TING duties. and ssresenable protection TO our home
industry" A little while ago, Mr.. Martin Van
Buren,, and "the inte gritty CT their principles de-
manded that he should be elected again and
now he's so pisen mean that salt wouldn't save
him, aud they wouldn't vote for him not for no
consideration. A little while ago. thew wouldn't
touch Texas with a forty-foot pole-i ii would be
unconstitutional and dishonorable to go into an
nexation then-but now il is the only hope of
salvation, and they are determined 10 have tiff
lthey have to steal il. A little while ago, they
was all Union men, and was gwine TO hang Mr..
Calhoun sas high as Hamen,' cause he wanted
TO nullify-now some Of 'em is for Teas or dis
| upion and fhe haianee for TeYoa AM aoW A
little while ago, they was agin division of the
public lands and Jump OF the debts OF the
/ Siaies-now they're to make the Government
pay the debts of Texas and dividin out the land
in a lottery. A little while ago they had more
principles Than you could shake a stick at-now :
they all preach from only one text, and that 10
Polk aud TTds or bust?
The truth of the business is Just ihis-they
saw the people was gwine 10 throw 'em in the
next election like they did in 1910, and they tried
every way they could in The last Congress TO
pump up some new capital-seme new dust to
throw in the peoples eyes-ihey tried Zen. jack
sons fine and every thing else they dared TO
touch, but they burnt their fingers with the tar
fl, and they were afraid TO raise the ghost ofthe
bank. SO they had TO just steal old Tyler's thun-
der, and make the most they could OF II. But
mind I tell you, its gwine to blow 'em all to ~
e~rlasting smash before the y're done with il. That
annex alton question come wheelin into The po-
iiical sky. all of a sudden like some thuader-
ing big comet W ilh a fiery tail, and its gwine TO
serve the democratic party like a taller candle
does.a skeeter hawk when he dabs into The blaze
like a tarnel fool without knowing what he's
about-itll swinge 'em into a perfect cracklin.
The people of this country has get too much
sense TO give this glorious Union AWAY for Tex
as-'hey're not soon gwine to forget nor forgive
The men that has no more patriotism IN lem Than
to want US to wash ourthe cemeating blood OF
our brothers in a civil war
Theirs one thing certain they can't come no
J sch game over us wire grass boys. The price.
: Of cotton is low enough now in Georgia, and
we've got no notion OF being taxed and drafted
tokeep up a war with Mexico or any body else,
Jest TO make The speculators's titles 10 ther Tax
as lands good, so that more of it may be sold
and planted, and more cotton be made 10 make
the price still lower. We haint got no objection
TO the annexation Of Tex as, when il can be done
: honorably aud fairly, if we can be satisfied that
it would be better for both countries, b ut we've
: got no notion of this way of t'marryin IN haste
and repentin at leisure" It's no picayune
/, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a good many afterclaPs IN
the business, and we'd like to ''see about II" q
] little, before we go into il deep. But what
. makes me madden than any thing else is. to see
these CRATE Lokyfokypokys trying to skeer the
country into their measures. Drat Their internal
picters, do the spose we're afraid OF Great Bri-
tain or General Bumsquattle of South Carolina
: or the free ringers, or any body else? Not by a
: Jug full. Texas is close to us-she is kin TO US
in her government and her people. and we wish
her well-bat If her citizens is got no more
! spunk in 'em then TO go and be subjects OF a
British Queen, ~whysdrat Their mean skins, let tenn
e go--.hey amt fit 10 be Americans. But if they
4 stand up TO the rack agin Mexico az they have
done aud ought to do, and wait Til things can
be done decently. why then we will oil do the
clean thing by 'em, and let Texas into the I'M
e. ion, if we can agree, or treat her as a sister re-
public If we cant. Wba tever we do we don't ak
no favors of no body. and if England goes to
II NEEDLE in our family affairs, or tries TO get any
e power over Texas that she haint any business
J. to have, Well mighty soon show her whose bee
;, gum she's foolin with. And as for General Bum
s~ouittle, | don't regard him no more'n | would a
e seed-tick in a water million patch. lhe could
e git all of his notification heroes together, he
v mought make a terrable racket with his dfumin
! and h6n, like thew did tother time when they
was gwine to tear up heaven and yearth bout
the tariff and skeered SO many old wimmin in
T Charleston into the histerics-but If he does 90 TO
kickin up any rumpus, Ill order out my Pine
J. willie Batilion with doubled barreled shot guns
and duck shot cartridges, aud if | come across
his three thousand men WITH ARMS In their hands

cut out for Texas like rabbits from u wood aflre.

I small poiaters.
