Stand aside, and let Old Chatham peek.
And nobly does Old Chatham speak. From the
sands OF her own Savannah, the shout of her indie
pendent democracy rends the air while the walls OF
Ogethorpe Hall, the headquarters Of the party, vi
brate as the cheers Of assembled feemen respond
the sentiments Of their gifted orators
The voice of McAllister, her selected standard-
bearer" who, we believe, is destined to grace the
executive chair Of Georgia. heard above the shouts
of the triumphant multitude. jackson, too, whose
patriotic heart CLOVIS with the Joy which swes every
bosom, is hailed with joyful acclamations; while
grated the live oak of old Chatham, bursts upon
the view, delightng all who behold the Representa-,
tive of Chathams young democracy. John w.
Owens, too, eloquently responded TO the call Of his
felow-citizens, followed by DIR. Arnold, whose voice
is ever heard with pleasure by the democracy Of
Chatham.
Thanks to the men of republican Chatham who
have sustained her principles-thanks to the sons
Of the Emerald Isle, who have disdained the pres
ents offered to tempt their political honesty
thanks to the noble German--thanks to the gallant
Frenchman-thanks to all, native or adopted, who
have placed Old Chatham in her position of last

gress from the LIST congressional district Thanks
to them all, for returning such mon Jackson, An.

The vote of the trio procaims their standing with
the democracy Of their own county; and when we
remember that our opponents were sanguine of sue

Chatham knows her interests.
To our friends from Dade to Camden, from RAJ
bun to Decatur, we, with swelling heart, proclaim
our democratic triumph.

THE PROGRESS OF LIBERAL CONNER
CIAL PRINCIPLES.

The following extract, relative to Chinese COM
mercal AFFAIRS which we take from late number
of the London Morning Chronicle, is but one among
the nnumerable evidences not only of the spread Of
enlightened commercial principles, but of the sound
ness and good policy of breaking loose from the
restrictions surrounding international trade, which
have been fastened on the world by the barbarism
Of earlier ages, and the mistaken ideas of political
economy incident to the government of England.
Her rulers struggling against the spirit OF the age,
to perpetuate political power in the hands Of her
aristocracy by keeping the national wealth there,
have set US perncious example-an example
which, in an evil hour, the honeyed words of Mr..
Clay induced our statesmen to follow, in adopting
his misnamed American system, which is modelled,
according to his declaration, upon that of arstocra-
ic England. The deductions naturally forced on
the reader of this compilation Of Chinese CONNER
cal statistics, applicable to our affairs, as to
those of any ether people. Compelling our sgricu-
turists to buy in dear market, compels those who
would otherwise purchase larger quantities of the
products of American soil to shun American ports;
while the history of the times tells too plainly for
denial, that the only American interest benefited by
this efectua species Of monopoly, is tina. of manu-
featuring capital
"The accounts from China, by the last overland
mall continue to bring new and satisfactory evil
dences of the success Of this great freetrade expert
ment. The Friend Of China contains an interesting
and instructive comparison of the commerce Of
China under the different circumstances in which it
has been placed during the last IA years. The first
period referred to is that immediately before the
expiry of the East India Company's charter, hen it
had monopoly Of the trade. The second period
embraces the six years prior to the treaty of Pekn
when the trade was free and open, as far as our
laws were concerned; and the third period is the
year 1874, which was the first in which the whole
advantages of that treaty and the reduced tariff
were enjoyed by merchants and the Chinese
people. In 1881, under the monopoly of the COM
pany,' the trade Of China is thus stated:
Imports by the company and its officers and rri Dollars

ABINGDON, October 10, l845.
To the Editor of the Unioni

DEAR SIR On visit to Abingdon, the country
residence of Gen. Hunter, the marshal of this Dis
trct, about twelve months ago, was struck by the
remarkable fact-at least to me-that there was then
growing in his garden second heavy crop of deli
cious grapes, of the isabella and other stocks They
were then in state Of full maturity. This year, the
same remarkable fact presents ITSELF with the addi-
tiona effort of nature to put forward third crop
now in a state of rapid growth and development.
These vines seem TO have been carefully culu-
waited and pruned during all the season, after the
manner of the Dutch--a mode, suppose peculiar to
that people.
You will receive safely, hope the samples Of
those crops, (the second and third,) which have
now the pleasure to send you.
May it not be worth inquiry, whether this exqq'
berance of nature has resulted from some pecui
arity in the mode of pruning and cultivation, or IL
one of those irregularities not raceable to any DIS
tnct or assigned causei
With great respect and regard,
/ am truly yours,
s. r. CHAPMAN.

From the Augusta ConsuuhonaIst, OCT 7.
The election Of yesterday was the most quiet and
orderly we ever witnessed. We have never known
SO little excitement on any similar occasion. The
great personal popularity of Governor Crawford in
this city and county, rendered it an ungracious task
even.to his political opponents, to use any extraor-
binary efforts for his defeat; and it was the settled
policy the wings to avoid excitement.
II would be most desirable for society and the pu-
rty of the balot-box, if all elections could be con-
