which have been pronounced in various States.
The Lesisla ture of Georgia were present in a
hody 10 listen 10 the address OF Col. Chappell
formerly in Congiess) whose effort, says the
Federal Union, was one OF the happiest OF its
distinguished author. Tha, portion OF it, which
portrayed the elements of Mr. Folks success as
statesman, and which enabled him tiumphanl-

principles and policy Of the patty that placed
him at The helm OF Governmenl-and that other
portion OF il, 10 which toe orator dwelt upon the
glory achieved By our arms 10 Mexico, and the
future results Of our acquisition, upon The Psci'
&c coast, were Of ,nri,iIns interest,".
