from continuing »«?erljpr.» which they bare no proof to substantiate. | will as brief reply to the y iitious taken by the Southern Recorder as may be consistent with the subject, allowing brevity to dwindle in to obscurity. In the first place it is de clare.!, (/lie (the secretary) had a right to be absent with, he had also a right to he absent without the permission of the Executive,— illustrating this simple posi tion by the text, that they are separate *ud distinct officers, both appointed by Hie same high powers. 1 grant them this, and allow them to make the, most of it. tie may, likewise, not be dependent on the Executive, but he is not independ ent, for the Legislature gives the Gover nor the right to appoint to any office that may becoie vacant. The extension is unlimited, nor is any office exempted , from his power. But neither the Go vernor nor his friend?, I believe, have re lied on that or upon his visit being to St. Augustine, that he could be removed be cause out of the State. They do contend, however, that the Constitution gives the power, and that that power has been justly exercised; and the Editor of the Southern Recorder may “place his fin ger” upon that part of the Constitution “ that confers the power.’' It is contended that it has been the cus« tom, time immemorial, for some friend to sign for the officers when absent, and some precedents are given to prove the assertion; but it will not be contended that custom can alter or amend the Con stitution ; it may answer as a principle in common law for custom to decide wlieu there is no written law on the sub ject; but it will never do when so mo mentous a concern as altering the Consti tution is in idea. In contending against the power ol the Governor to appoint, the Southern Recorder has strayed so fur from what is the true principle of his power, that it is really too much trouble for me to follow him beyond a general boundary,—when it returns to the charge and takes its station on the appointing clause, 1 may consider it worth while to , meet it; but till it does so 1 give the : first part of this as a text for it to com ment on, —not only to it, but to all who 1 consider the Governor to have transcend ed Ills power in considering the office of 1 the Secretary vacant, and filling up the 1 office when so vacant. SIDNEY. AwmmwA* I ——- — 1 THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1822. j •-— : —: : i i‘A Subscriber,” transmitted to us , tMotigHfftePost-Office, happily with- i put postage, a list of names for Re- 1 presentatiyes in the next State Legis lature. We declined to publish the , list without the name t of the person re- I commending,in which resolution we 1 were not original: for, if we mistake 1 not, all the papers of this city found ( themselves forced to adopt this reso- 1 lution last year. We have now a se- I coild letter from “ A Subscriber,” 1 et preeterea nihil, desiring us to strike his name off the list of subscribers if , we do not publish his list of candi- i dates. This is not in our power, as 1 we have not the honor of his name; ' . ’ i and it would be too much to require , of us to erase our whole list, to insure 1 the including of him.—Rut perhaps ] our readers would like to see a copy ' of his threat to us—and so here it is : ( “ Mr. Editor, ■ “SIR—I perceive in your paper of the SGtli, that you would not give publicity to the Ticket I sent to you for publication. , “I therefore take this method of informing yon ■ tint as soon as my year is up, I shall lake my • j r.uine off your Subscription Li.-i, unless you'give j j rtlisfactory reason why you did not publish the j Ticket •‘August 27th, 1P22. u Yours as yet. - “ A Subscribe fc” 1 We think we gave a reason for v( publishing the list In our last; but < 11 A Subscriber” pny not have seen ! it, as it is sometimes the case that ] lie subscriber has less chance of see- ( >ng his paper than a non-subscriber, i \ FOR THE CHRONICLE. I We have just concluded reading- ■, m article from the Virginian (a new i taper got up at Lynchburg) in which i wc recognize the same principles i hat were so unblushingly expressed md advocated by the writers of the :i Trio,” namely, of supporting the pretensions of William 11. Crawford ;o the presidential chair, on the . ground of bis being the only standard ■ if Republican principles in the cabi- : ■let, and in opposition to all whom ■he public voice, through their organs, lave hitherto considered as worthy >f that trust, it is,a singular and cu ‘ious fact, that whenever that gentle nan’s name lias been introduced for •his purpose, his worthy friends have ” er conceived it a duty imposed on hem to vilify and rim down that cha acter supposed to be most in hi? tv ay. How they have succeeded by •bis course, in adding to the number • of his admirers, or in perverting the minds of the people where he is not known, we know not, but where he is known, if we take Georgia and South Carolina as a criterion, we can conscientiously say, no set of writers ever had less cause of self-gratulation. The Editors in deprecating the vi olent and premature attempts some papers to forestal public opinion in favor of Mr. Calhoun, (who appears to be the thorn that sticks most deep ly in their sides, and whom he most charitably warns to withdraw his name as a candidate; giving, byway of illustration, the examples of Burr and Clinton,) falls, unwittingly of course, in the same error—for, never did we read a paper that contained such a strain of violent prejudices as we do in this; proving very clearly, , that, though he may be capable of perceiving errors in others, he can not delect those of the same stamp in himself, much less does he possess the power of correcting them. This is a species of practical tergiversation which that party are famous for ex celling in. Though the star of Wm. 11. Craw ford may shine brighter by extinguish ing others that blaze in the horizon, A though bis character may be firmer by building it on the ruin of others,— yet the the brightness and firmness will never attain that degree of excel lence as to dazzle the eyes of the Ame rican people, or quench in its excess the superior light of reason. Mr. Calhoun needs not such toils to sot him off, nor such foundation for his fame; his talents and his integrity are too firmly routed in the hearts of his countrymen, his character too well established, to be displaced by the efforts of the scribblers arrayed against him; for, whatever they think, we know that in this, and in our sister states, the benefits derived from him in his public character, are not forgotton—for we are not so devoid of gratitude as to blot favors from our memory the moment they are done. It is to him that at this moment we owe the respect and , consideration shown us by the foreign powers, for it was him, while sitting as one of the committee of foreign relations, that introduced the bill, recommending as our only resource against sinking to the lowest point of national degrada tion, a war with great Great Britain, and to that war are we indebted for the brightest laurels that ever graced a national monument. It brought us honor and admiration from without— it gave us (almost) unanimity of heart and hand within: its events pro mise us a long and lasting peace, for it has shown the nations of the world the impossibility of conducting a war against us, with honor or success. As a statesman, Mr. Calhoun has shown himself the first. Jealous of the States’ honor abroad, he recom mended a war, well knowing the vir tuous patriotism of the people would hail the measure as the best calculated to remove the stains from the American character, and enable her to regain that rank among the na tions of the earth, which want of en ergy had deprived her of. The re sult has been beyond expectation, nor does he, while we are at peace, fail to recommend such measures as may best secure it. llis maxim has cocstantly been, “ in peace prepare for war;” both in the representative chamber and as one of the cabinet he j has inculcated this doctrine, —to j prove which it is only necessary to j refer to his masterly speech at (he j close of the war on the system I of internal taxation, ami to his j able reports on internal improvement j since his being at the head ol’ the war J Departments. We wonder not that j he is advised to resign, with the en ticing prospect and promise of Hav ing “ it in his power of to add new lustre to his name” by imitating the disinterested magnanimity of Mr. Crawford, and indeed we would most fervently join in ihe exhortation, did, or could we believe his actual chance .of success to be as small a.s is Mr. Crawfords, Cut maugre the re presentations of the Virginian, we have a belief of our own, founded on no slight grounds, that the name of Mr. Cfaw'ford never rose nor is capable of rising to the hoigth of Mr Calhoun. —The \ irginian concludes with a brief wish, in which we most cordi ally unite, —that, “ America may not yet be ready to receive a Morris or a Cataline w hile she has a Cincin natus in her bosom,” —but we differ very materially in our opinion, to whom their names would best apply. There arc a few other remarks inter spersed beside those we have parti cularly noticed, but as they are con ceived in short and pithy periods and sentences, abrupt transitions of sub ject from 3lr. Calhoun, to Burr and Clinton, with the usual turns of com pliment, to Mr. Crawford, vve pre sume pur readers are so ff-ell ac quainted with the manner as not to need quotations to enliven their me mories ; the road has been so often travelled over, that it is almost worn out, and unless they strike out a new one, it would be hut correct to give them as quotations, from whom how ever it would be almost impossible to say—yetas we guess” the origin ality would eventually be traced to head-quarters and most willingly do we concede them the honor of the in vention. We conclude by wishing that all the supporters of Wm. H. Crawford may, as the Virginian has done, expose their true principles to the glare of day : the people would then be able to judge of the true cause of the aspersion of Mr. Cal houn, which is plainly to be traced to their envy of his superior mind. A GEORGIAN. Misery of a Printer. —After toil ing nearly the whole of a summer’s night in order to issue your paper, to meet, the first tiling in the morning, with some good-natured friend, who has been industriously searching for, and has found a typographical error, and to be told of the mistake—per haps a T turned upside-down, or some such important matter.

Stone of Co lumbia County, aged four years ten months and four days. The little in nocent has thus early departed from paternal love and anxiety for a Hea venly habitation ; forever blessed with the presence of the universal pa rent. The blossom with innocence bright, Is not shed in tliis -valley of tears; . But remov’d t,o- Eternity’s light, And hearty immortal now wears. The mother may ache at the loss, The father may grieve for it gone— But they stand at the foot ofthe cross And sec it bloom fast by the throne. DlED,— in Powcltqnon Saturday, the 24th inst. Mr. Robert M‘Kcen, late proprietor ofthe'Mansion-House in Augusta, in the 54th year of his age, leaving an affectionate wife, and a large family of children, together with numerous friends and relatives to /ament their irreparable loss. His remains were interred on the 25th, with Masonic Honors. Mr. M‘Keen was a native of the state of New-York, but for the last 14 years a citizen of Georgia ; and for 12 years a member ofthe Metho dist Episcopal Church. A’ man whose deportment in life, presented an example of the rare combination of those qualities of the heart, which constitutes the affectionate husband, tender parent, and as a citizen of un impeachable integrity. Death, whose summons is at all times awful and dreadful, seems to produce an impression doubly terrific when, after a short warning, it falls upon the head of a numerous family ; to whom through life, he had been, like the Sun to the Universe, their source of light and comfort. The finest filaments of the human heart, are those which connect the father with the mother and her offspring;— these once severed, all earthly com fort withers in the grasp and is gone forever; —’tis in the comforts of Re-, ligion alone, that we can find the so lace of Hope, but “ No longer seek his merits to disclose. Nor drew his frailties from their dread abode, There alike in trembling hope repose, In the bosom of liU father and hL God ” DIED—On the 20th inst. at his residence on the Sand-Hills, Mr. Thomas Gardner, 'in the 50th year of his age. Panegyric of the dead, seldom embalms their memory or benefits the living—but those who knew the deceased cannot think too much said, when he is pronounced as the tenderest and most affection ate husband and father, a kind mas ter a warm and faithful friend : and a man in whose soul was honor’s resting place, and who was known as the core ofhonor itself.
