cause his energies,efforts, and patriotism,
with no othor reward than a self-abiding
conviction of integrity; and the applause
of his fellow labourers; that is often capri-,. . ,
ciously withheld? Let tho annals of the 1 11 '«PPn cu y'8 here,
Troup parly answer.
With this introduction, 1 proceed to
the more immediate object of this address.
| To review iu a cundid, dispassionate n>an-
\ tier, “ not setting down aught in malice,"
' the address of Mirabcau B. Liimur to the
people of Georgia, to quoto from One
of his editorials, with hard argu
ments and soft words, knowing that every
expression that wounds the feelings or
kindles the ire of mint, renders him im-
porvitMio «o reason artri obstinately wrung'#* 1
My purpose is to review tbe style and
feeling which pervades the address, as
well as its arguments.
And first, it is addressed to tlm prejudi
ces not tho judgments of tho people.—
Tho exercise of judgment would pro
nounce it contumelious of those princi
ples, which, have heretofore actuated the
Troup party. It would likewiso discover
tho impress of a corrosive sublimate dis
position in many of its features—and tho
least penetration, could uot fail to expose
tho arguments und manner, by which re
proach is sought to be heaped upon those
that have made an effort to presorvo the
Troup party from defeat by concert and
the concentration of force.
I( is perhaps hero worthy of remark,
that arguments addressed to tho passions-
and prejudices Of a people, arc never di
rected tn vain. . Among the restless and
discontented,and those fond of novelty ahd
change, there will always be found willing
listeners, There is nothing, of which
the people are more justly tenacious, than
their right of suffrage—find nothing can
insure a revolt sooner than actual or anti
cipated danger. Hence, politicians are
apt to uso this, as a means of subverting
judgment, and subserving passion—often
alarming them with the shadow and fas
tening upon them the substance. As if
words alone, was not sufficient for hfs
purpose, his terms of repioacl), are signi
ficumly emphacisedt to Operate not upon
the understandings, but Upon the rears of
tho people.
By an assumption of facts, tho impres'
sion is intended to be left upon the public
mind, that the people, by the caucus at
Millndgeville' last winter, have not only
hoeudictutod to, but that they huve been
divestod of the dearest immunity of self-
government: that of choosing their own
Representatives, and voting according to
tlicir own choice. To unreflecting minds,
an impression of this kind, is calculated
to prejudice the feelings of the people
against the recommendations of that cau
cus: this is the end in view. If tho writer
can bring odium upon that meeting, and.
divert the attachment of tbe people to
himself, his object will have been accom
plished. If he can poison their minds
with tho idea, that at a self-constituted
meeting, an arbitrary few have presumed,
not only to recommend to the Troup par-
tv the nine nominated candidates for
Congress, but have dictated it as a ticket
to bo received without comment or mur
mur: And that .by this process, they
have no right of choosing their Represen
tatives—have no alternative but submis
sion left them—the result is plaint that
caucus frill be contemned and the writer
will be triumphant.
But again, the first tangible remark con
tains an invidious charge upon his oppo
nents, as follows: “with the independent
and considerate portion of the public I
have no fears that the want of tho qualify.
the caucus and committee of sevenJ .. _
are left to make our own commentary:—
lie qnes not pretend it to have been from
the Caucus or committee, nnd.-if from tho
people, I presume be will not gainsay
their right 10 reproach him, Or any other
candidate for public favor. Unless, in
deed, those who vote for the nomination
are not the people, bin the firiends of tho
caucus-, by whose course towards him
will be demohstrated thu true nature o{
their meeting und purpose. And again,
If he is reproached oy the people, ought it
not to be received »s evidence, not of the
great outrage Uport tliein suffrages, which
lie pictures so fearfully, lfiitt rii.it his claims.
are not as.well forti'fiediby the public as
he could wish, Unles.4, indued, wp are
met in the face with the declaration ihnt
they, (the people) wain consideramness
and independence, ‘Ac, Ac. A well es
tablished theorem in [morals .will not bo -
man never was in
error, without sdmolloup ton which to
hang his justification. ' Sumo pretext, by

Tho fact nsslined by Mr. Lamar,
throughout bis adil^uss, is, that he is the
puULo oUtMCOJ an>
of the caucus at ililledgovilfo, if it is sus
tained, lire people will bo deprived of tho
privilege of voting for him. Ho refers to
Jones, and askf if site i* to he disfran-

If I am not much mistaken-in the people
of Jones, th#y will., independently adopt
or reject thi nomination at tho polls la
October. [The terms dictation and dis
franchisement, because, perhaps, the most
offensive uf all others, .are unsparingly
mingled in| his address. At every angle,
(if tho ex|tressioii is allowable) one or tho
other, like a grim-vissgod spectre of viola
ted rights] stares us in the face with a Sa
tanic grid. Now tlm true secret of this di»-
franchisehiont and dictation, is to be found
in his ex ilusion from tho list of candidates
presente I to the votors of Georgia. It
is not lli people's rights that is so tnticli

for if nia name had been placed in the se

been eh ightened by this long essuy upon

franchis i;mcnt? With an auxiliary bat
tering train of invoctivo against the
caucus nnd committee—and those who
have no t “ considerateness and indepen
dence" enough to oppose such unwarrant
able ust rpation? Or would strains Of "hb-
saunas’ havo fallen on our oars, of praise
to the caucus meeting and those of whom
it was composed? Let ambition telle
But c auld he under the doctrines which
his address contains have accepted a nom

caucus r nd committee, without aiding in
this system of disfranchisement? Would
ho uot bo as culpable at he represent*
them? Say further: Under his arguments
can ho /consistently support any of tho
nominee i of that caucus? If it is dicta

countein ncing it in any lorm. If it is
simply a recommendation, it exhibits none
of tho fri ijhtful visages which fiis prolific
fancy ha» conjured up: or is it dictation,
so far as it conflicts with his interest, und
recommi ndation as to tho remainder?
Now ' uking bis arguments 'without ref
