The people of Fort Madison seem to
be serious in their efforts to run a plank
road west from that place to Fairfield, via
West Point and Salem. A number of
meetings have been held on the subject.
Go ahead, gentlemen, the more improve
ments of this kind the better. No road
can be constructed that will not pay a
good dividend on The stock.

Senator Jones.

The Dubuque Telegraph says. that
George w. Jones is sending out old Pat
ent Office reports by the cord, hoping to
buy up the people of the northern part
of the State, with these lavors, but is OF
opinion that the North will not bite at
the bait. The Telegraph is of opinion
that if he is reelected 10 the Senate. it
must be again by the vote of the South.
We have more hope for the South, and
hope that her people will not be guilty
of such folly second time, as to return
such small pattern politician to the
Senate. Friend McCraney must recol-
lect that lucre has powerful effect to
blind the eyes. and addle the brain Of To-
colocos; and that fat jobs in hand and in
prospect, while they cover a multitude of
defects and sins, in this case, defeated
the expectations and wishes of the North.
But if we mistake not, the Senator
will find that the unrestrained control of
thousands of dollars, and the scattering
of contracts among hungry set Of le-
gislators, is a much surer stepping stone
to place and power than seat in the
Senate, and the scattering of few hun
dred stale Congressional documents.
The Telegraph says, that "He will
not forget his Southern friends" If we
are not much mistaken, some Of his
Southern friends will not forget him
1t is limited that some have good reason
TO remember him long and ,UeH. If all
to whom the bait was held out succeeded
in getting nibbie, the Senator will have
to make another personal request in be-
half of his friend e.. Booth, and secure
the aid of a larger number of those 'suery
Influential Whigs,' whom he and his
friends have SO far been so unfortunate
in designating to the public. We can
not suppose that the Surveyor Generals
Office is always to be used to create
thunder for the especial benefit of Wis
consin's recreant and dis-owned son..

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN GEORGIA. From
every section OF this State, our accounts are
most cheering. The masses are moving and
are speaking out on the subject OF Southern
Rights and honor, in q manner, at once worthy
of themselves, and befitting the cause and the
occasion. The unanimity with which both
parties in this State unite in CO ,demning Mr..
CLAWS bill, is the best evidence that could be.
given of the determination of the people to per.
patuate their priceless Inheritance, aud keep it
pure and untarnished.
:. Muscogee, Walker, Bibb, Butts, Upsom,
Cobb, Decatur, Hancock, Scriven, Merriweth.
er and Richmond have spoken out in plain and
emphatic language. All these counties have
strongly condemned the scheme of the State.
Pike, Crawford, Pulaski, Dooly, Burke and
Washington, are moving up handsomely, and
will in a few days take their stand by the side
of the counties first named. We trust that eve.
ry other county in the State, will fall into col.
umn and present an undivided front to the
enemies of Southern Rights.
Georgia is righting herself All honor to the
people, and God bless the noble land.
