I »You will pardon me, I trust, if in this letter Igc
I sanewhat beyond the mere purnoseof acknowledg
■ ifc the receipt of your communication, and use tin
I Jcasion fur making a few remarks, which circum
I nnces seem to require from me, in respect to ade
I ebration of opinions, or pledges, as to my future
I required of candidates for high offices.
I My public life, not now a short one, is before the
I country. My opinions on important subjects, hav<
I Hien expressed from time to time, as those subject!
I lave arisen, an 1 since my name has been mention
til among those from whom a selection might b<
made for the office of President, 1 have, in severe
sfPtts to friends, fully and frankly avowed mj
Icnriments. Farther than this, I cannot supposi
■ntel ligent pei sons could desire me to go. The pco
lie of this country do not rely on professions, pro
niscs, and pledges —they know,that if a candidati
i unprincipled, he will not scruple to give any
ledge that may be required of him and as little wil
ip hesitate 1i violate it. I haviy already mad<
piblic the principles by which I should be govern
f*vif elected President, so far as relates to the pro-
duties of that office. -Rut aim si
have been made to me
<■-. —of legislation
B ■pm Mr. Williams and Dcn-rev", lhat ■
Wm Wl not - onsider the President a conatiriient branct
B. pltlie Legislaturni yet it is impossiole to read th<
that have been addiessed to me, without be-
B~lienng that many of the writers had adopted thi
B opinion, that the Presiuential office was the prope;
H source and origin of all the legislation of thecoun
B ay. m opinion, in rny jndgmeut, at war with every
B prinri -le of the constitution,.mil of deep and dan-
M gerou-consequences. The prevalence of such sen
■ t timents, more than almost any thing else, wouh
B. tend to consolidate the whole substantial power o
B* Ihe Government in the hands of a single man ; s
I landqucy which, whether in or out of office, I fee
K . itTTTy most solemn duty to resist.
I I have declined therefore to give any furthe
I -trredp jes or opinions on subjects which belong t(
:he future legislation of Congress—because.
k J Ist. I conceive,for the reasons given in my let-
Wji tets to Mr. Williams and Mr. Denney, that Congres
■; 4 should be left as much as possible untrammellei
Bl by executive inilueuce in the discharge ©fits legis
iative functions; and that a better guarantee so
K b the correct • onduct of a Chief Magistrate may b(
Ei found in his character and the course of his forme
I ■ Ufe,than in pledges and opinions given during tin
■n »endency of a doubful contest; and that, althougl

» jKaceToftiu -t.vctas it regards the sul'jects up
« iti which the Legislature may be called to act, tin
■ pledges and opinions should be required, if requir
mm edat all of the candidates for Congress.
Im Because, the habit of consideiing a siogh
HE individual as the source from which all the meas*
HL; ures of government should emanate, is degrading
to a republic, and of tfie most dangerous tendency
3d. because, upon all the questions in regard ti
9| which under any circumstances, it would be at al
J roper for me to make answers, my sentiment:
avc a l ready been fully and clearly given to th<
public, in a manner to entitle them to credence, a:
I conceive that no honest man would sufl’er hi
taptiblish documents in his name whicl
Hr ere not genuine, or containing opinions which he
-was not then willing to endorse. Accept, gentle
Hf men, the assurances of my high regard.

>e Loco Foco Convention.
al
Tlie following notice of the late Convention wc
ie copy from the Georgia Journal, we had also dc
>- signed to make some extracts from a private letter,
but they are unavoidably crowded out
y The Van Boren Convention.
11 The morning of the fourth found assembled
1* in this place, the devotees of Van Burcnism from
almost every section of Georgia. At 10 o’clock,
a procession was formed by the marshals of ihe
e day, which proceeded to the State House,
where the oration was to be delivered. We
13 took a station near the gate at si hich the proces
s sion entered, and counted the number of persons
; i composing it. Men and boys, there were 580
:h n the procession ; and, we presume, there had as
<e scmlilcd la tile Suite House, about 500 more per
sons, men, women, and children, who did not join
er in the procession. In all, wc should judge, there
j. were not, with our own citizens, who are attached
ry to the Van Buren party, more than 1000 voters,
i- The procession, by the way, was headed by the
l! ' notorious “ black band," that gave so much of
'‘J fence on a recent occasion, to a certain editor in
0 this place. For our own part, we saw nothing
e l to condemn in the “ Democracy” availing them
selves of the services of these coloured mosi
er cions, on such an occasion, but every thing to
to approve: for it was demonstrative, al least, of
the little influence which the offensive article had
** of which complaint has been made, among the
very party for whose benefit it was advanced.
s _ There was one thing, however, that we did re
or gret, but which we arc certain was not intended
>e by the committee of arrangements. This was
er the placing of these coloured men directly near
>e to the orator, where they could hear so well his
Jh dissertation upon the movements of the aboh
tionists, the false premises advanced by him on
° this question, and the erroneous conclusions
, e drawn therefrom. But how were they to know
r- lhat the orator intended to harrangue his audience
upon this exciting question 1 Certainly, no one
le expected thal such would he the case.
s * The Declaration of Independence was then
’? read by Gen. J. W. A. Sanford, and the Oration
was delivered by Matthew Hall McAllister, Esq.
II —a production which wc hope the-- Democracy”
ts will not fail to publish, for we should like to have
re an opportunity of dissecting it.—As our readers,
as however, may desire to know our opinion of this
,s address, we have here to state that we had not the
:1 ‘ pleasure of hearing it; but from all that we could
10 learn, from intelligent gentlemen who, listened
to it, there was in ilno little of frotli and foam .
After the Oration, the “Democracy” procecd
cd to the consummation of that which had been
planned, and set in motion, by their leaders and
our would be leaders "a longtime ago.” Messrs.
at Cooper, Colquitt and Black do now supply the
places on the Democratic ticket, of Messrs. Glas
ts cock, Holsey and Cone, who have declined for
j. that purpose. On the Electoral ticket, Messrs.
V. Anderson ofßurkc, Gen. Harden, and Seaborn
le Jones, Esq., supply the places of Messrs. Ten
’p nille. Walker and Anderson. This is a “glo
a - rious ” combination, and will certainly conduce
no little to the defeat of both their tickets.
™ The feast was then served up. The marriage
0 _ having taken place, th ejo//fication commenced—
at the GOVERNOR of Georgia presiding. Many
to speeches were made, many toasts were drank,
u- and no one failed, we understand, not even His
irs Excellency, to abuse “ Old Tippecanoe
Wc also learn thal there have been jarrings
es and bickerings among the “Democracy.” To
wha' extent it exists, and how far their little dif
g3 Acuities among themselves may affect the politics
re of the State, the ballot box will tell. To our
be friends we say, we have witnessed their efforts,
we have heard their arguments, we know their
cn hopes, and we are conscious of their fears. Let
e * us then go on in our good work, for we, at least,
' have nothing to fear. We can meet effort with
, n ’ effort — argument with truth—our hope is ascheer
” ingaswe could wish—and fear has' not rendered
us either timid, ot vascillating. Our cause is
that of our country; and our success will depend,
we feel certain, upon our perseverance in its ad
vancement —our defence ofit when assailed,and
our continued assaults upon those, whose corrup
tions and abuse, in conducting the affairs of the
jy government, demand reform and change.
Another important Chance. —By a letter
from tbc Hon. Charles Downing, a Delegate in Con
ip- gross from Florida territory, which .appears in the
,; s the last Tallahassee Star, we are gratified to per
ceive that gentleman has renounced Van Buren,
“ e and taken his stand in favor of General Harrison.
Ito He gives his reason in the following extract from
3 , his letter:
“ Although we may have no vote in the election,
ltic and hence are told by many it is folly to meddle—
yet I think that Florida has a deeper interest in
1 the Presidential election than any State in the
Union. lode pendent of having ail our officers who
l administer tlie laws, selected by the President, we
( have a series of savage butcheries, almost nightly
enacted among us, the like of which for atrocity,
for damning disgrace on the Government which
, should protect us, has no parallel in the history of
I the world. He must have a deeper confidence In
a government professing democracy than I have,
can believe that after nearly five years of
scenes Kke this, o? continued impotence, of dis
. grace and defeat, this same government, odminis-
I tered by the same men, can do, or will do, better
I in the next four years, than they have done in the
[ last
Who is.there that can see any probable or possi
. lie chance of closing the war, if conducted as it
has been ? Who will give us protection, but a
change of the constitutional commander in chief
j of the army and navy of the United States ?“
1
’ What have we got for the one hundred and
e 'even million of dollars that we have paid to Mr.
I Van Buren for ihe last three years!
Answer. —We have got a deranged currency,
1 low wages, properly reduced in value manutac
-1 lories shut up, laborers without employment, cor
ruption in high places, distress amidst the poor,
bankruptcy in the National Treasury, and last,
but not least, gold for the office-holders —very
cheap S Shall we try him again I —Bellows Falls

, OBITUARY.
■ . moment has its sickle, and cuts down the
kirest bloom of sublunary bliss.”
Died, at the family residence, in Athens, on the
19th of June, IS4O,Mrs. Elizabeth Bolling, wife
of Major Robert Tavlrf ol that place, after a long,
protracted illness, tm the following she was en
tombed in the family*fault, in the burying ground
: U Madison, Morgan county. She was born in
Mclntosh county, Ga., on tiie 26th day of March,
1800, daughter of the late Wm. Delony, Esq. of
/that county, formerly of Virginia; from whose
it lineage, as also.from her mother’s, Mrs. "Jaylor was
nearly allied to some of the oldest ans most re
spectable families in that State. Duriafan illness
of many months, her sufferings were often griev
ous, but always borne with patience and resigna
tion. She had no fears beyond the grave,
Mmforted as though she had seen her “name-en
rolled n the Book of Life.” She was of a most
> noble and charitable soul, —her prayers frequent,
her reading much, —a great lover of truth and noble
actions. Obliging and free iu all acts of favor,
and very unwilling to be arrears to any on the
stock of courtesies and liberality. She was of an
honorable, nice and tender reputation; though the
pleasures of this world were Utd before her, she
took comparatively a small share. From early
life slie was disposed to. piety; for many years she
adorned a Christian profession. Religion to her
“was like the breath qf Heaven ” Blessed are
those who have part in the first resurrection ; upon
them the second, death can have no power. Her
way was regulated ty a constant reference to those
celestial lights, whose truth no one can impeach,
and “whose laws are the laws of Eternity.” The
last days are the best witnesses; here her faith'
was most triumphant; she haft so “trimmed her
lamp,” as to have disarmed Death of all its terrors ;
iq her own words, all “was peace.”
“Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are.”
Her person was stately, her features symmetry
itself; she had an easy elegance andgrace in all
her actions and gestures,—a countenance radiant
with smiles, —a fine poetic imagination, wit, gen
ius, —a highly cultivated taste, saintly piety, and a
'warm zeal in all good works; combining a form
and character almost perfect, it has been the lot
of hut few to inspire such general respect, vener
ation, and affection as she did. Site shone to every
ftody but herself; but the perfectness and prudence
ks her excellent parts emild not be hid, and all her
humility and acts of concealment made the virtues
more amiable and i'lustrious. To dwell upon the
charities of her heart, the sweetness of her dispo
sition, the amenity and simplicity of her manners,
or the delights of her conversation, would appear
superfluous, as these feelings, on a short acquaint
ance, were lostan a still deeper feeling of affection
and love. As a friend, she was warm and devoted.
In the relations wnaughter and sister, she was
indeed dutiful and affectionate. If we look on her
as a wife, she was an example to all, loving, de
votedly confiding, and tenderly solicitous. She
had a love so great for her husband, so entirely
given up to that waim, burning affection, that she
breathed in his soul, lived in bis presence, lan
guished in his absence, and all that she was, or did,
would seem as directed to the peace and happiness
of him whom she styled her “precious husband.”
As she was a rare wife, so she was ah affectionate
and excellent mother. Possessing so tender a con
stitution of spirit, and so much kindness towards
her children, her government was mild, sedulously
attentive to their tenqioral, but still more devoted
lin regard to their eternal welfare. Her prudence
in their management was singular and rare; so
Uiat if the reader desires to bless her family, let
him beg of God that they may have those excellent
things which she designed for thefc in her heart
and asked far them in her prayers.
In her bouse she was the life and delight of alt,
and solace to her husband, a guide to her
children, a rule to her servants, an example to all.
“She lived as I fain would live, and died as I fain
would die.”
“Make the extended skies your tomb.
Let stars record your worth.”
Died, in Burke county p» Sunday, 28th June
last, Mrs. Jane Fryer, in the 15tlf year of her age,
after a few days extreme suffering, leaving an in
fant three days old, to want for that which nothing
but a mother can bestow. Mrs. Fryer, though ve
ry young when she took the charge of a family,
(which she she was enabled to do for 13 short
months,) was blessed with a sweet and amiable
disposition, and was much beloved by all around
her. She embraced religion soon after her mar
riage and united with the Baptist Church, to which
her companion was also a member. She was thus
aiming to fit and prepare herself for usefulness in
society here, but the all wise “ Jehovah” no doubt
thought otherwise, and has taken her, we trust,
from 3mevidence she has left behind, to himself,
to be happy forever. Her pain was short, it is
true, but she did not murmur. Her bereaved hus
band and friends in her expiring moments, could
truly witness.
How happy’s every child of grace,
.. Who feels her sins forgiven;
This world, she cries, is not my place,
1 seek a place in Heaven:
A country far from mortal sight.
Yet Oh, by faith I see
The land of rest, the saint’s delight,
A Heaven prepar’d for me.
