the customs have fallen off two thirds of their
ordinary amount, men of capital are afraid to in

constitute a tax upon you, the Planters of Georgia,
nearly equal to that you pay to the suppoit of the

see, could only be found in men secure in the ten
ure of their offir e. Make that to depend u t on the
will of any man or set of men, and the Senator
at once becomes an inst current. Now, it is solemn -
ly true, that this administration retains its majority
in the Senate, by the abuse of the doctrine of n
struction. Let any one dare to assume the attitude
of independence, and the trained press, and the
trained declaimcrs of the party, simultaneously,
move upon him at home, an excitement —a fer

Millions have been expended upon tire Florida
War, and tlmbest blood of tire army has been lit

peninsula. And yet such Jias been the imbecility
of the War Department, that it is now apparently 1
no nearer a close than it was at the end of the first (
campaign. The councils of the administration in
relation to Florida, have been unaccountrbly ,
weak, and its measures mournfully disastrous. It
■ lias literally persecuted tire gallant Clinch into an

I which he has held with honor for thirty years. It

\ veteran brow. And still the territory bleeds —the
Seminole still wakes the sleep of infancy, w,th ,
the yell of death. The women of the borders are
butchered at their firesides —and husbands and fa
* theis daily die in defence of homesteads. The
complaints « f our Southern neighbors seem not to.

deaf to the cry of their sutterings,aud the vacillating
f Secretary occupies his luxurious leisure with vain 1
endeavors to palliate, or lojustify Iris daring scheme
foi the organ iz ilion of a Standing Army. Is there
not energy enough in this great nation, to pro
ect one territory from a land of savage marau- ,
dors ? The Government has never asked money or
men, and been denied. Tne fault is with our
selves. And the blood of Florida, demands that the

At the opening of the present session of Con
gress, it was understood that ex hiding the Jersey
Whig members, parties were neary equaLy bal
■ lanced, and to admit them would cas£si majority
against the Administration. These wVhig mem
bers, bore the evidences of election. They were
certified to be members elect from the'Statc of Now
Jersoy, by all the foims lequiied by the constitu
tioa and laws of that State, and of the United
Stabs. Yet they were excluded by the party,
and the State of New Jersey was deliberately dis
franchised. And for what ? Why, it is asked, so
flagrant a violation of right reason and the consti
tution ? The answer is obvious; the Democrats
were determined, at all hazards, to secure a major
ity in the House, in order to elect their Speaker,
and their Clerk, and their Printer, and thereby con
trol it> action.
Such a dead in the earlier and purer days of the
republic, would have consigned its perpctraiors not
merely to retirement, but to infamy. Now, so dor
mant is public virtue, o' so blinded by intrigue
■ - md dereptim? is the public vision, that the people
tec not; or seeing, regard not these things. Liberty
is in jeopardy when popular sensibility to political
wrong has thus lost its neuter ess.
Mr. Poinsett, the Secretary of the War Depait
uicnt, submitted to Congiess a plan for organizing
the nulilita, which plan received the approval of
! Mr. Van liuren,and was by him strongly recommen
ded to the consideration of Congress. 1 invite your
attention to this scheme as exhibiting an attempt
°n the part of this administration to organize a stan
ding army, subject to the order of the executive,
if Mr. \ . Huron did not intend to arm the executive
with military power,and charily herself can scarce
ly thus construe the act,yet lie exhibited the mo-t
culpa: le and destructive inditFercnce, to she plaine t
and most conservative provision of the Constitution,
in either event he stands condemned by the judg
ement of his country. For he is scarcely less to be
dreaded as the chief magistrate of the Union, who
weakly connives at, or basely excuses, a palpable
in traction of the Constitution ; than he who boldly
challenges power, and openly wields the sword. —
We had rather meet an open invader, than an insidi
ous, secret and deceptive aggresser. In the for
mer case, the deed, is at least, relieved in the
f l-ckne s of its shades, by the light of manly
•“daring. l ti the latter, its enormity is enchanted,
fy the hypocritical drapery which it wears. It
would be well for the Freemen of Georgia, to
study the scheme of Mr. Vart Buren for organizing
the militia ; the exercise may serve to revive,
that salutary jealousy of power, which becoming
now torpid, is still, hs ever, the price of liberty.
They will find in it, more of the pow'er of the
sward, than Hamilton or Knox, ever dreamed of
in their Federal reveries- They will find it a holder
ad venture than Gen. Jackson in his rashest hu
mor, dared to suggest —They will behold an ar
my of 2Ctf,OUO men raised by conscription, sub
ject to executive order, paid by Federal money,
commanded in part by the officers of the regular
army, and subject to the rules and regulations of
the regular service. They will find the idea of
a citizen soldiery,so long and so aidently cherish
ed, nullified, and in lieu of that a drilled, permanent,
military corpse; standing boldy forth in the very
heart of otir pacific institutions, and casting over
them a withering blight.
Tney will see in it an organization, by virtue of
which the militia of Virginia and Delaware may be
assembled in the streets of the federal city ; around
the capital—at the doors of the Legislature ; and it
may lie, at the bidding of some future Cromwell,
marched, with sword and shield and buckler, into
the very Council Chamber of the nation. Who shall
say that such beginnings may not eventuate in such
results ? i lie encroachments of power are like the
breaking forth ot wtters: a drop, a torrent, and
then an overwhelming flood. Resist now the ag
gression ; soon it may be too late. Unseat the ag
gressor, and tern h deceivers that popular retribution,
though tardy, is sure.
I Ins letter is, I fear, becoming wearisome. The
errors and sins of the administration is an exhaust
less theme. An observer upon the scene of its
action, alone can realize tin? necessity of reform.—
1 he greatest danger to the country is found in lha
perpetuating piinciple, by virtue of which this
domination is to be continued. Would you believe
that the true question is not so much whether Mr
Van Huron is to be e-lecied, as who is to succeed him?
The aspirants to his succession arc already in the
field, in fact, if not in form. And their principles
are such as will in their judgment most surely secure
success. No better and no worse.
There is, therefore, to be resisted, the influ
ence of the last administration, ihe hopes of the
present, and ihe interests of the succeeding. A fear
ful combination, this ; }’et one destined to dissolu
tion. The Hero of North Lend shall scatter it to
ail the winds of Heaven.

Wm. Henry Harrison —Having enjoyed the con

lie not worthy of ours ?
From the Hon. James M. Smythe ;
Let not the former relationship of party, inter
pose, to prevent that cordial and brotherly union of
all those who seek the overthrow of Van Ruren
i and corruption—who desire the elevation of Gen
eial Harrison, and the days of republican simplici
ty, and constitutional purity.

The County of Morgan—lnhabited by a noble,
generous, and magnanimous people. To them, I
o’..*e giatitude and fidelity—when 1 cease to res
pect, or fail to discharge my duties to them, per
sonally and politically, 1 shall deserve the frowns
I due to in- gratitude.
From Gen. E. Wimberly:
May the next four years of our Government be
conducted by a man that will have the interests of
the people at heart, instead of his party. Reliev
ing Gen. \\ in. H. Harrison to be such a man, my
desire is, that he be the next President.
From the Hon. George R. Gilmer :
The Spirit ol 5 7G —Benjamin Harris an and his
patriotic associates, declared and maintained out
independence, by its energy. His son William
Henry Harrison and his independent advocates,
directed by the same spirit and energy, cannot fail
in overcoming the arts of corruption, employed to j
re-elect Marlin Van Buren President.
From Gen. W. Ezzird :
The present Administration of the General Gov
eminent—Distinguished not more for the extrava
gance of its expenditures, and its assumptions of
power , than for the unexampled distress with which
it has overwhelmed the country.
In the U. S. District Court on Monday, the
following judgement was given in the cases of
prosecution for the recovery of interest from the
United States flank, which we copy from the
Philadelphia U. S, Gazette:
“As to the notes which on their face appear
to be payable at—days subsequent to their date,
the plaintiffs arc entitled to judgement, under the 1
act of 1835, for the amount of notes, with inter- 1
est at the usual rate of six per cent per annum, \
computed from the day at which the notes res- I
pecli'ely came due.
“As to the other notes, which are ordinary hank
notes, the plaintiffs are entitled to judgement for
the amount of the notes, with interest at the rate
of twelve per cent per annum, computed from the
commencement of the suit.
“The amount of fees for notarial protests will
be included in the judgement on notes payable
to order, and excluded in the case of notes pay
able to bearer .”
Writs of error have been issued to the Supreme
Court, which sits in December next.
This decision, the North American remarks, has
caused a good deal of surprise in the city, and
given rise to some discussion respecting the pro
bability of its being sustained by the Supreme
Court.
From the Baltimore American.
Geu. Harrison ami Abolitionism.
A copy of the Emancipatoi of July 2d has
come accidentally into our hands. We copy
from it a paragraph which may serve to show to
what devices the opponents of Gen. Harrison
have been driven in their unjust attempts to iden
tify him with a disorganizing and frantic party :
A Just Complaint. —The editor of the
Emancipator, although an abolitionist, is yet an
American citizen, and as such is entitled to cer
tain rights. One is the right to complain of be
ing misquoted or of having words forged to his
account. In the Richmond Enquirer of June
s:h,is a professed quotation from the Emancipa
tor, purporting to be copied from the Louisville
Advertiser. The same professed quotation has
been copied in the Washington Globe, and ap
pears also in the Baltimore Republican of June
12lh. It reads thus:
“ The rejection of Henry Clay, and the nom
ination of W. H. Harrison, by the Harsisburg
Convention, under the circumstances of the case,
is oue of the heaviest blows the monster slavery
has experienced for years.”
Now ,we say to those editors, and to any oth
ers who may have copied the article, that the
words in italics above, are forged, and never ap
peared in this paper in that connection. We
ask those editors, in honesty, to make this correc
tion. We shall send them this paper, and see if
they have any regard to truth and honor where
abolition is concerned. We never alleged or
thought of the Harrisburg nomination as an abo
lition triumph, ah hough we believed the rejection
of Henry Clay was one.”
The hostility entertained by she Abolitionists
towards Mr. Clay is perhaps as much personal
as political, and it doubtless arises in part from
the course of that distinguished gentleman in
reference to Colonization. It was, we presume,
from this consideration that what is called the
“rejection of Henry Clay” gave so much exulta
tion to Abolitionists.
The same number of the Emancipator from
which the above extract is taken contains articles
as abusive of Gen- Harrison as may be found
in the most scurrilous journals of the Adminis
tration. It reviles both parties indeed, and speaks
in that arrogant tone which fanaticism is so fond
of assuming when it takes to itself the prerogath c
of superior light and puiity.
It is a matter of regret that the name of this
Ishmaelitish faction should have been mixed up
as it has been with the political discussions of the
day. Asa party they are weak and contempti
ble. Distracted by internal dissensions, aiming
at impracticable ends, violent, vulgar, and sense
less in their vituperations; seeking to excite the
worst ol passions, and rendered by a conscious
ness of impotency doubly furious, they deserve
not the serious notice of any respectable body—
but rather should be regarded as imbecile mono
maniacs who can do no harm if they are left to
foment nonsense among themselves. Too much
importance has been ascribed to them, and they
have grown vain. Upon the opponents of Gen.
Haurisun much of the responsibility of this
result must rest. The unceasing efforts which
have been made to cast upon Gen. Harrison
the foul imputation of being a favourer of abo
litionism—efforts made in the face of truth and
reiterated in spite of facts—have tended to inflame
the presuption of that fanatic sect, and to cause
them to regard themselves somewhat as umpires
in the great political question of this Union. It
is lime that both parties—the Opposition and the
Administration—should controvert their own
points without reference to the abolitionists, who
are owned of neither.
Negro Testimony.—Prentice says, the expos
ition ot the infamous conduct of the negro-suf
frage candidate in allowing officers of the Navy to
be condemned upon the testimony of negro slaves
is making the locofoco editors writhe and dart out
their tongues like crushed vipers.
Lieut. Ilooe.—Negro Witnesses.
Extract from the correspondence of the N. O. Bee.
Wasiiigton 27 June 1840.
President Van Buren has been made to feel
strongly the blunder he made so strikingly dis
playing his abolitionism in this business. The
Globe is filled day after day with excuses; and,
under the form of exculpation and apology, the
administration attempts to take credit to itself for
humanity towards seamen ! This changing the
issue shows the weakness of the administration
on this vital subject to the south.
There is a circumstance which presents, in stri
king contrast, the practical abolitionism of Mr.
Van Buren in this instance, and the regard for
the municipal regulations of the Southern States,
which ought to have animated him. A clergy
man of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Mis
souri, had admitted the testimony of a negro
witness against a member of his church, for which
he was censured, and, I believe, removed by the
Conterence of that Slate. He appealed to the
General Conference ot the Methodist Episcopal
Church, recently held at Baltimore; and that re
verend body,after full deliberation and discussion,
decided against him, and resolved, by a vote of
97 to 27, that in all cases of church matters, the
admission of testimony must be regulated by the
municipal laws of the States in which the trial
shall take place.
This is a most importont fact, and show's that
the clergy of that highly respectable and influen
tial sect, have proper views of the subject; and
very different from those of the pretended “North
ern man with Southern feelings.”
