‘Clay lias been so little in the habit of calling
into cxeicise his powers ul imagination, that
they are now almost dormant; and Mr Web
ster lias so well husbanded ins little stock, that
his pieroration in reply to Col. Htiyne, tn 1830,
is one of the most beautiful, aye, the most beau
tiful, and (he best expiessed I know of any
orator, ancient or modern.
To compare these gentlemen with British
or ancient i raters is very intt-resting, so far as
it deveiopcs their peculiarities. Webster lias
ill the logic of Burke, with but little of his
j. 'lemlid imagery. Chy has much of the wit
t.f Si.eiidati, but little of bis cainmand cd lan-’
gu igo. Webster is the Biougham ol our coun
try. Clay is the Canning. Webster has the
grasp of mind, the vivid conception, the bm n
iiju thoughts of the fust, —-and Clay has (he
daring views, the prophetic eye, and c.iivahotts
port ol the 1 ist. W ebsie.' is an Erskine at the
li ir, mid wh it is more; a statesman in addition. :
Clay is there outoi his element, with too much
of the Curran and of the Irish school lor an
American lawyer; but in the Senate, Fox was
not readier nor more brilliant. Webster has
tne directness and sir.iioin-firvvardih.ss ot
C.esar’s speeches, as Sallust has given (hem
• L’i.iy has all the vivacity and life of Ciceio, 1
"viih unite of his polish. Webster his much ot
•ti.e cou lensed p>W '.-, and precision of die A
thenian, Cl y has all his earnestness and ener
gy, but none- o| his labor and study. The two
ui.ito.s united would h ive made a perfect De
mosthenes. To sum up the merits of the two
iei m i say then, Clay is an orator by nature <iai; 1
V/as born to be one. Webster is an orator by I
dwciplme, studs’ and education. Clay is al- i
Wavs ready. Thu (pucker the flash the more:
b dlli nit the b dt. Webster thinks with less
r.i 4 i:di!y, an 1 requires tine* to forge his thunder, i
add to nerve bis arm. Clay has but few re- 1
sojii Ccs in his early studies. Webster can call •
upon them for any weapons at his bidding.
Clay appears heder or blighter than Webster ;
in person; but Webster appears better ur bi igh -
<‘f in print. Doth aie extruordinary men, and
would m ike an impression upon any assembly
in any country. But yet their contrariety ot
character’ admits, with advantage, of placing
lliem in contrast in order Letter to display them
as orators and statesman. In the Senate of the
United Stales, they exert that influence and
guide our public affiirs which supremacy of in
tellect will ever in some degree give, in spite of
party arrangements. Both moving and acting
together, are irresistible in iduquciic.e, in argu
ment, in luipii d force. Opponents must fall
before them. In debate when they move on
•he same side, they remind cue of the Wild
Saeii indo >ii and the Potomic as they mee at
the Blue Ridge, and there cle iye asunder he
in tuntuins from the summi'. to die n.ise, leaving
<:C<igs .in.l fragments of precipice.-, behind, but
iinoii flowing on together as smoothly and is
calmly as it nothing had h tppened. Tneir I
jmic.ioti was at first from opposite, and Intlim

they 11 xvi.d over lhe same bed, and run in (he j
same channel. Whether, as l ite events seem '
to omen, this cuirenl is to he broken up, and to
(t-heuibogue* itself by d.ffiuent mouths, is a
(pieslion lune will determine; but when they

point ot confluence. The Potomac may glide
on as it • now glides by this city indignity, in
Calmness, in majesty, able it may hr-, to watt a

Falsification of the bible.
11) running oui eye lately over some of the
public pnpers, we were struck with lhe follow- j
h.g notices ol the Holy Scriptures, to which we '

“FALSIFICATION OF TIIR SCRIFLURES.
A leveiend gentleman in England, named
Curtis, has recently made some appalling dis
closures in relation to the careless and iniqui
tous manner in which the University editors of
the Holy Bible published by the King’s prin
ter, are put forth to the woilil. Mr. Curtis
has exposed some enormous errors, and varia
tions trom the original text, as given in K ng
J Mine’s lime. Six hundred mist.dies have been
fi lin one book, and eight hundred in anotb-
ei; mmy of (hem most important, and all of
them inexcusable. Some of the grosser ones,
which would seem to h .ve been conceited and
intention il, have been rile for forty years
The tine sense of Holv Writ it is contended,
has been greatly warped by these errors; and
measures are in train to have (hem ratified, in
all future editions of ihe Scriptures published in
England. Il is stated that the churches in A
merica h ive long since adopted lhe edition in '
question, as a Standard; — if so, it is ot the lasi
importance, we should conceive to impoitoitei
of the corrected copies, now preparing, at the
earliest period. Tite writer remarks, with’
much so, row fnl feeling, th it such pet versions
of the Sacred Word hive given rise to more
fCotT'is and infidels, than could have beeu oth
orw.se produced by any one cause.

SLAV EBY.
The Richmond Enquirer of lhe 30th ult.
font.mis an mticle respecting the pievatliug ex
citement at lhe South, from which we quote lhe i
liillowing paragr iplri
•‘We beg leave to address i few more words
to onr Northern bieihren of lhe type:-—We
would addiess them with lhe most uni eserved
frankness, and in the most respectfull maimer:
we ask them, whethet any of them is aware of
liny intention to disturb this slave question—by
the agency of lhe government oi to bring it up
ul dl in the counsels of die couniryt Do they
know of any society that is established or in
ngitation, for inning Congress upon tins stib
jei Do they believe, tint the Tcmpertcne
Society bus any sort of connection with the
<'iu nirip ition of our slaves? We ask them ft mk
|v to give us’heir experience upon the matter
—and we ask at thosime time the Temper
ntjee Society to put duwji this Calumny, if it Lo
! one, which has been propagated against them
.and io put it d >wn by the most positive and
| authoritative disclaimer. We request the Edi
tors of the North to come out frankly upon the
subject—and to assist the friends of Union in
' laying these evil reports which have got among
j us. They must see, that a plan is systemati
cally organised for sowing the seeds of jealousy
between the North and lhe South; and of ar
raying political parties against each other, ac
cording to the most unfortunate of ail distinc
tions; that of sectional differences. If these
reports then be altogether false, as we now be
lieve, we pray you to say so—and to put down
all jealousv in lhe bosoms of worthy men, and
ever} such evil design on lhe part of incendiary j
politicians.” The very earnest manner in
which the Enquirer c;!!s upon Northern Edi
tors to “give their experi nice upon the matter,”
requires of us a frank reply. We say then,
solemnly, and the utmost good faith, that die
reports alluded to by the Enquirer, as far as
i our experience goes 4 and we have a pretty
thorough acquaintance with the design & spirit j
of the public bodies, private associations, |
Temperance Societies, Lyceums, &c. &c. in ;
liis quarter, are altogether false. There are, i
inwever, some few people in this quarter, who!
■Hate the subject of Slavery; but they are not I
mnected wi‘h other societies or associations,
leifher are their peculiar notions generally dis- .
(used in this community. The experiment
which has leceniiy been made in this town upon
•tiblicsenliment, enables us to speak decisively
>n this point. The result of the recent discus
onsbetween an agent oftne Conlonixation So
ciety, and an agent of the Anti-Slavery Socie
ty, in a public assembly in this town, is a proof
1 that lhe people in this quarter are averse to any >
: improper imeiference Southern insti- (
tutious. The public mind here is not at all '
1 imbued with any such spirit as is imolied in , !
j the paragraph riuotcd from the Enquirer.
We could have told our Soul hern brethren
so long age; but, perceiving the imdness of)
the times, the jedousy of lhe South against
the North, and the artifices of designing mon
to kindle it into a slime, wo have forborn,
because we f: It tiow little we could do to
allay lhe ferment, or say, what would be re-/
ceived in a friendly spirit in that quarter!
of our country. The untoward spirit so pre- p
v.alent in the South, of speaking disrespect- !.
fully of the people of the North, nay, of I
heaping upon them the most unbounded ob- j 1
Imply, his al last proved a snare to them
selves, and we ate afraid they are so entan
gled in its mashes .is io be inexu icable, do
or say wh it we will. We commend the I
spirit which seems to actuate the E li’or of j
tiie Enquirer, in m d.ing the earnest '■t quiries i ,
contained in the above p n igrapli, md if his i,
elTirts will hive lh" elf bet of pouring oil on
the troubled waves ol Southern feeling, we i
should be most happy in giving him frankly
and faithfully our humble aid.

CHEROKEE,
Saturday, Jane 15, 1833.
The Georgia Journal, in answer to some re
marks relative to Governor Lumpkin ami his oppo
nent, made in the Intelfigencer, a short time ago,
holds this language—
“ The present Governor has been very leniently
dealt with. One reason why the presses opposed j
1 to him have been so light andspairing in their am- (
i madversions, may be a reluctance to lault-fm<jin«, |
| at a time too when it could do no good; there be t
ir.g no other candidate, and the people therefore ’
having no choice. Whatever may have been the f
cause of this forbearance it has not been for want !
of occasions. There is no scarcity cf materials !
for criticism. Take for instance a fact that ap-'
■pears in one of the last Northern papers. IBs ;
Excellency of Georgia officially communicated to !
the Governor of Connecticut, and of course to the
Governors of all the other Slates, purport- i
ing to be certain resolutions passed by the Legisla
tore of Georgia for lhe call of a Federal Conven- }
lion. The following is an extract of the message
of the Governor of Connecticut to the Legislature
of that State.
i “There has also been received from the Govern
or of the state of Georgia, a resolution of die gener- i
al assembly of that State, making application in
conformi’y with th** fifth article of the Federal ,
Constitution, to the Congress of ihe United States, i
tor lhe cal) of a convention of the people so to a- j
mend the Constitution of the United States, that
the powers delegated to the general government
and the rights reserved to the stales or to the peo
ple may be more distinctly defined: That the
porwer of coercion by the General Government
over the states and the right of a state to resist an
unconstitutional act of Congress, may be deter
mined. [That (he principal involved in a tariff for
the direct protection of domestic industry, may be
settled 'That a system of Federal taxation may
oe established, which shall be equal in its opera
tion on the whole people.] That lhe jurisdiction i
and process ol the iSupreme Court, may be clearly
and unequivocally settled. That a tribunal of
last resort may be organized, to settle disputes be
tween the general government and the states. —
I hat the election of President and Vice-President
may be secured in all cases to the people, and the
tenure of their offices be limited to one term; and
that questions, relating to the power of chartering
a Bank, and granting incorporations by Congress,
to lhe practice of making appropriations for internal :
improvements, to the mode of disposing oflhe
surplus revenue and the public lands, and to the :
rights ol the Indians, may be settled; and that the i
Constitution may be amended in such other parti- i
cnlars ns the people of (he other states may deem
needful.”
“Now no such resolution was ever passed by the
Legislature of this state.
“By referring to the .S'enate Journal, pages 235 :
and 3G. and to the published acts, pages 243 and '
5(1, lhe reader will see that lhe Legislature intend- ,
ed to arm such convention with none of these pow :
er except the two that we have printed in brack- 1
ets ! At hat a field of comment is here open on !
the various principles embraced in all these spuri
ous clauses.' Principles in respect to which His
Exct llem y Ims placed the state in a position be
fore ihe world that she never consented —nay, ue
tliii k, relused to occupy. The blunder may in- ;
deed be remedied in part by an explanatory reso
lution rd tlio next Legislature. But till then the
ra>e. i< without remedy and fort ver aftei wards lays
her liable to misrepresentation in history.”
A* io the Ignity of which the Journal speaks,
tow xids Governor Lumpkin, we, have no thanks to
return. I hat (Governor Lumpkin may have com- I
riitioii errors, his fiiends do not pretend to deny,
but they have been, if any, of a similar kind, with
’he errors of all otheYs placed in his situation.—
One that has so many conflicting interests to re- )
concile, can hardly proceed far without hearing i
lit** reproach of some “fault finder.” but the friends I
ol the Governor have the satisfaction of knowing ]
t hat none of his errors have been of a flagrant kind. |
A e are no t fond oi boasting, or. upon a review of i
Governor Lumpkin's administration, we might j
find many things that would justify us—we <lo not
sav that he has performed acts, as the Governor of;
Georgia, that no other individual could have per
formed, but we s:>y, that we defy his opponents
apart from “fault finding," without cause, to point 1
to any thing in the Governor's conduct that is ad
verse to the interests of the state.
1 rue there are no “wars or rumors es wars” to be
engaged in with the General Government, and
liig sounding threats of ‘armsand blood” are not
necessary io he used; but there, perhaps, has not ,
been a period, in the whole history ofGeorgia, i
when so many civil interests have combined to '
make the times interesting; under the circumstan-;
Ces, there is no man in the state, we speak without '
disparity to others, better or as well calculated to
conduct and direct our affairs as Governor Lump- j
kin. Although he mav not be a Julius Ciesar ai
Rome, enraged against an unyielding Pompey,
yet he may be permitted to occupy the humbler,
but not less useful, place of Lycurgus, at >j <rta.
Although he may not be a Leonidas at ’l’hcimojiv
Ide, vet he mav be permitted to be a Stjlon
at Athens. Although he may not have re
ceived that classical, collegiate, refinement that
some would require as a qualification to every and
any good act. yet from a life spent in g lining in
formation that relates to the prosperity of his coun
try, h*' is aide to do more good than a dozen the
orittcnl scholars combined.
AV’e presume the Journal has done Mr. Lnmp
kin injustice in its answer to our remarks, need we
ask whether it lias the magnanimity to retract the
charges male against him if thev are unfounded?
AA’hat are these charges? nothing less than that
Governor Lumpkin in the discharge of a duty re
quired of him by the last Legislature, misrepresent
ed the state of Georgia, certainiy. to the state of
Connecticut, and, presumtivelv. to ail the states
ot the I nmn; the Journal gives the intimation that
this act <>t misrepresentation arose from stupidity,
b it we are disposed to believe it wilful ami intend
ed, it done at all. The Journal appears to arrive at
its conclusions trom the extracts it makes from the.
'communication of Governor Edwards accotnpany-
I ing the Ge irgia Resolutions: now. Governor Ed
wards may or may not be justifiable in the remarks
he makes in laying before the Legislature ol Con
necticut. the Resolutions ofGeorgia. but by what
i process ot reasoning the Governor ofGeorgia is to
be made answerable for the conrse of the Governor
of Connecticut, we cannot imagine! The Jour
i nal says that “no such Rcsolutioa was ever paused
by the Legislature of this state,” uo such resold- i
tion as vvli.it ? as that mentioned in the Governor
of Connecticut’s message—no one pretends it has,
but lhe Resolution passed and transmitted to the
Governor of Connecticut may be found at pages
249 and 250, Journal of the Senate —these reso
lutions were passed by the Legislature ofGeor
gia, and we venture die assertion, that they, and
none other, as substitutes for (hem, was trans, j
milted by the Governor of Georgia to the Gov. i
ernor of Connecticut; what Mr. Lumpkin’s let- '
ter accompanying the Resolutions, may have 1
contained, is another matter, a copy of this we ’
should like to see—if that however, should con- ;
tain all lhe sentiments uttered by the Governor I
of Connecticut, yet the Journal is inexcusable,
for it accuses Governor Lumpkin of transmuting )
j Resolutions to the Governor of Connecticut /
i that “never were passed by the Legislature of
Georgia.” We shall see who has “blundered.”
John Randolph, of Roanoke, sleeps with his fa
tliess. He ended an existence protracted over six
i ty one years, on the 24th ultimo, at Philadelphia.
! It does not fall to our part, in noticing the death
] of this great and excentric Virginian, to detail the
; particulars of a lite both strange and useful; that
{ task falls to those more intimately acquainted with
! the private life of (he deceased. It is enough
] for us to say that his usefulness, as a public man,
] is so connected with the history of his country,
that the historian would be unlaithlul that did
i not assign Mr. Randolph a conspicuous place.
IWe trust his biography will be given the pub
! lie by a head and hand equal to the perform
ance of the task; in the mean time, we hope that
I 1 the most prominent features of his character
will be noticed by those capable of placing them
( correctly, before the public, in the form of obit
uary notices.
CHE ROKE E CON VENTION.
This body, which our readers will remember,
i assembled at Red Clay on the JSlh day of May,
! adjourned after a session of nine days without act
i ing definitely upon any thing, but lhe determina
; lion to remain, for the present, at least, in zheirsit
) nation. It is deemed useless fur us to give in
derail, the particulars of this meeting, their sub
stance is, that the principal ch es, John Ross, was
compelled to use all his influence and address to
prevent a speedy determination of the question;
much mancßuvermg took place upon the side of
those opposed tu a Treaty to thwart and counter
act the course and policy of the Treatv party;
they, however, <1 *d succeed in protracting any de
termination until the next session of Congress, af
ter which, lhe dominant party have promised, to
relinquish, if by that time they cannot succeed, all ;
i hopes of regaining the land.
Theseciecy with which much of this business is ;
surrounded compels those interested in it to proce« d :
much upon conjecture. AA’hat could have inter
rupted, so suddenly, the negociutions that were
going on at A\'ashington and given them so unfa
vorable a turn? that must be known in order to a j
correct understanding of what has and may subse- !
quently take place e have this clear under- I
; standing that no reliance is put, by either party ■
i upon the institution cd a suit, under anv law or;
laws of Congress, and it may not he the least in- {
■ teres! ing to some, to mention, that it is our further
j understanding that no Missionaries, ol any descrip- !
i tion. were piesent; wkile this last topic is on our
I mind, it may not lie improper to state, that we ;
have endeavoured to ascertain whether the Mission- (
aries do or were interfering with the political bu- ;
siness of the Cherokees, and after a careful exam - |
1 inaiion, we have arrived at the conclusion that they j
!do not. and indeed we look upon them as cutn
’ pletely disarmed and incapable of using any in
] fluence calculated to embarrass the State.
i It should not be supposed that Georgia is with- '
' out her friends amongst the Cherokees, we mean [ 1
the aborigines—the Treaty party are numerous 1 *
and increasing, but we deem it improper to desig- I ,
nate them individually. Although (his question |
may nut bo finally adjusted for some time, and i 1
Georgia be placed, uninterruptedly, in possession I t
of her whole domain, yet vve perceive a gradual; 3
approximation to that point, and such is the can - f
non with which these proceedings are conducted, \ 1
that a retreat is not anticipated by the white or red I |
man. If the present course of dealing is contin-]
ued we feel warranted in the assertion that it will j
terminate favorably. AA c* have in our p-rssession I
what we deem important and valuable information, |
relating to this subject, which we wdl lay before
our readers at a proper time.
Nince drafting the foregoing, we learn that the ■
emigrating offices are io be reopened. > t

THE CONVENTION. . I
; i
The acts ot this body continue to tcceive I
the cuisine of tn my of the presses of Gem • I
gia, ail ol which, as fit as we can judge, a-! '
mount to what might be termed “fault-find- i
mg,” without cause. The \Vaslimgl<m New» !
says, “il what the newspapers s>y, is an m- 1
dex to the public mind,” the people will not
latifythe ac sos the Convention, Hid lhe
News leckoncd the number of presses in fi
vor of and against the tatdicatimi? Does the
?x< ws perceive that tiiere are a greater mini- ,
ber o! presses engaged against the ratification,
than it nas seen enured again**! oilier me,is- i
mes thal did succeeo? One mslance—the elec- !
, (ion ct Governm Lumpkin, w< mennmi this
i ill’ll ihe mind ot the News may dtift that wav,
a little, and perhaps it will find mhei install- i
• ces. From what we c-m see we icaiire m|
(he opposition of the presses engaged, no.lt- ’
mg more than we anticipated. Has any plan!
•as good, o; better, than the one suggested by ;
the Convention, been (dieted to the cons.d
vration ot the people? In oilier words I*. is
any plan, at all, been offered, in ail (hat lias
been said against the proposed amendments'?
Holding lhe aifn inative, as to tho amendments,
we cannot pretend io answer every negative
and unmeaiimg grumbler. The News was
correct in saying that if the majority of the
’ presses of Georgia, were “an index io ihe pub- '
lie mind, the amendments would not be ra i- '
tied”—lhe News knows that index doesnot
ahcaijs point the right way. Sitisfied with
the amendments, as retainiuH the democratic i
principle, we tiust and hilieve the people
will unify them, “fault-findmg,” to tl.u con
trary notw iihslanJing.
Th** report as to the appointment of ?,[r. Dcxyt.
which has been in (irvuJatiun for»ome \ve* ks past
and taken a general round through the columns of (he
newspapers, can now be con'ide'ii das correct; .al
though nut officially made.it i, stated with confidence
in tfie Baltimore lltpublican uh.ch, if incorrect,
j would not have been promulgated through the co
hJtnns of that pint. This appointment is hailed with
i becoming feeling, both on the part of the opponents
ot the administration and its friends ; consequently,
those unacquainted with this gentleman, can be as
sured that nothing will be lost by the transfer of Mr.
.ALLane to the State Department. Th** Republican
thus alludes to —-'Although it is generally under Uoo.d
that William J- Duane i» to take charge of the Irc^-,
(<mry Department, and that Mr. M’Lane is to be trans
ferred to the State Department, some persons enter
tain some doubt upon the subject. We have not,
heretofore, expressed any opinion of our own upon
the subject; but we can now venture to say that the
change will shortly take place. It is understood,
moreover, that Mr. Dickens, the present chief clerk
in the Treasury Department, will be transferred to

From the Huntsville. Democrat.
John C. Calhoun my Joe John. I w'onder what you
mean.
That at old Hiek’ry you do vent your jealousy and
spleen,
Is all your party with yourself in morals grown so
low.
lou are upon Disunion bent John C. Calhoun my
John C. Calhoun my Joe John, when we were first
( acquaint.
The worthies of the day John supposed you were a
saint,
You stood the champion for the war with Madison
you know.
But now you beat the Hartford Crew, John C. Cal
houn my Joe.
John C. Calhoun my Joe John, how happy we should
be,
Ifyou and Clay and ’Dulfie John w'ould let us still be
free,
To rear the tree of Liberty our fathers’ blood did
flow,
But you would now destroy the fruit, John C. Cal
houn my Joe.
John C, Calhoun my Joe John, our fathers stood in
h rms,
To give the tree of Union strength to shelter us in
storms,
But you and Hayne would grub it up and lay the
Proud tree low,
To plant state saplings in its stead, John C. Calhoun
my Joe.
AVlien nullifying first began you tedd ns all, John C.
You meant not harm, you meant not war, for it
would peaceful be:
How yon belied your promise John, let all your meas
ures show,
And jeopardised our liberty, John C. Calhoun my
Joe.
John C. Calhoun my Joe John, when England heard
from fur,
That you were nullifying John, she shouted loud and
dear.
lhe Union cannot last she said 1 always told them
so,
But we will show her better still, John C. Calhoun
my Joe
John C. Calhoun my Joe John, the second seat you
had,
At first you acted well John'but letely very bad,
1 ou could not be contented John, to keep a seat so
low,
Andnow you can't be President, John C. Calhoun
my Joe.
John C Calhoun my Joe John, both you and Hemy
('lay,
Are like the boy that had the goose the golden eggs
did lay.
Yon both were great men in the land but office
came too slow.
Your reckless haste has damn’d yon both, John C.
Calhoun my Joe.
