We direct the attention of the Justices of the Inferior Courts of the new counties, to the Act of >he last Legislature, directing the Census to be taken. The necessity of proceeding forth* With in tins measure, will be seen, when it will b< perceived by an Executive Order, found in to-davs paper, that a distribution of the Pom School Fund, amongst the new counties, is to be icguhited by the Census. The Postscript of ■’ letter received at thia offi e, ftoin a gentleman i esiding in the neigh boihood of the Cherokee Agency, says “ there is plenty of money at rhe Agency to pay ail emigrants just debts.” Wit direct the attention of our readers to the eommunica-tjon of Mr. William Hardin, to be found tn another column, relative to lots drawn in the recent Lotteries and improperly incum bered by Indians.

November, and set forth in the prospectus of his p-.per, .is fully embracing iho*e of Nullify 1 cation in their widest ■•xtentf” ; Th»‘ reply appeared in yesterday’s Sentinel, i and is as 'ollows; • “In answer to the editor of the Chronicle, I we have to remark, that wo do believe' the Re solutions of the State Rights Party, fully cm- I brace the doctrine of Nullification; else we cer tainly would never have subscribed to them; / but wo do net believe they embrace no'hing i more nor less, th.m’TVjjli.fication; nor do we believe tha. all who adopted those resolutions, mean to be understood in so doing, as acknowl edging their allegiance to that doctrine. We know better; we know that many who sub scribed to those resolutions, are opposed to nullification; as they ktiuw-thr: editors of ih'.* Chronicle and Setrhiel to be opposed to seces sion; but bore w is a difiT' rence of <>pin on only as to the applicatMn of- . principle, and not as 1© the principle ttsrff. AH acknowledged tho | right as the State to choose for iUolf tho mode ' ami measure of redress, when it believed the ’Constitution of the United Slates violated, and as tho time had passed away, when it was deem ed necessary for the State to make its choice, it was thought unadvisable by byb parties, that there should be any longer a division between them. They mm, therefore, upon common ground, and avowed the principles in which they all agreed; each party reserving its own opinions as to (he application oi those princi ples. These are our views of the Resolutions of the 13th November We consider nothing surrendered or conceded by either of the parties to them, but their silly and self-weakening pre judices.” The editor of the Sentinel frankly and une quivocally acknowledges that the resolmious in? question, fully embrace the doctrine of Nullifi* ca’ion, “else he certainly would never have subscribed to them.” This is very explicit, I and erhiliibts thai candor winch is expected i from the editor of the Sentinel. But if lie ' places ills own consistency in bold relief, we J conceive that ho pays a vmy poor compliment to the consistency of some of those *bo sub scribed to the resolutions. Those resolutions .embrace fully the doctrine of Nullification, : and yet the editor asserts that “he knows that ■ many who subscribed to those resolutions are Jopposad to Nullification’.” Tho resolutions J embrace Nullification: they are opposed to Nul- ’ lificatii.n; therefore, 'hey subscribe 16 the reso- ; lotions’ Is this logic! But the editor of the J Sentinel gives tr- another specimen of the 10-; gie of the new School to which he belongs.— ' “-Thee finilliutM-s and anti nullifV is ] met,! therefore, upon common ground, and avowed the principles iu which they all agreed, [‘the j right of the Stat< to choose fol itself the mode | j and measure of redress; when it believed the ! 1 constitution of the United States violated,’} each party reserving it» own opinions as to the application of th >se principles.” The resolu tions adopted by the State Righ’s Party, em brace fully rhe doctrine of nullification, and ye’ I they “ivowcd the principles in which they all j agreed,” and voted for resolutions which em brace fully the doctrine of Nullification ! As ttiis kmd of logic involves tlie political consis ! teikry of some of our distinguiiheil cin&mis, the public would no doubt be gratified, should those I who. subscribed to the resolutions, and yO’ were ! opposed 10 the doctrine of nullification, come forward and declare, that when thov gave their axti'iit to those resolutions, they were impressed with the belief that they did not embrace fully the doctrine of N alii Ji- alien. From the, Southern Fanner. GOVERNOR TROUP. We publish this week from tho “Southern Recorder,” a letter from this gentleman on itr<- subject of State Rights, nullification, i sfec. The subject is one that has been so i lung and so unceasingly plied by the pre.ss upon i tfia patience and forbearance of the people, that • we certainly should not have imposed such i document upon that portion of them who look to us weekly for something new .md interest ing, but for the source from which it emanates. Gov. TrOup has long bean the oracle of a cer tain set of politicians in our Stale—lris name and reputation as a Statesman, claim for his opinions the deliberate consideration of all classes of men. Tho day has gone by, with us, however, when the mere ijnno of a man can be a sufficient passport for every anti Any opinion which he may choose to advance.— There i» nothing more mutable—nothing more • uncertain than tho opinions of politicians.;— | M<'o me the creatures of cii ciimstanccs, and ias circumstances change, they change with ’ them. They might as well attempt to render I their youth perennial, or to >vresl their minds I from decay, as to hold on, thtough all vtcissi l tudas of life, to the same sol of opinions. To ! prove thia position, wo would not bring forward i the sordid, time-serving domaguguo, who never I possessed an honest principle of his own, hut I who holds opinions as mere articles of traffic fit only to barter away far the loaves and fishes of office. Such are in our day, “men by the catalogue,” and deserve only to be bold up to i the ridicule and contempt of m-mkiud. But the tergiversations of such men as Gfto. M. Troup, we believe may bo legtim rely brought forward j -o prove a position so tleeply touching the phi- I losophy of the human mind. j • Gov. Troup now holds the opinion that the i States have never parted with any portion of tbifir sovereignty. During the administration of Mt. Jefferson, he voted for the celebrated force bill which placed iu the hands of tho ex ecutive of the Unhod Shares tho sword and (he pttrgfc of the nation, in order to enable him to enforce the embargo laws within <t:o limns of those undiminishcd sovereignties, who had de clared those taws mjeonstitutionil. Here the Gov. Troup of that day differs widely from 'he i Gov. Troup of tho present. We agree with Ins first opinions—’hey were expressed iu the vigor of his manhood, and at a time when re publicanism, in this country, was pore and un defiled. /Although we d.fTer (torn the present opinions of Gov. Troup on this “mystical” question, yet we are free to say that the other leading doctrines of his letter are in accordance with our own. Ho places nullification, as taught in Carolina, precisely where it ought to be—on the ground of Revolution, lie tears off the peaceful and constitutional veil in which it has been enveloped by designing demagogues, and reveals tho monster to the people in its proper form and character. Wb may hereaf ter, when we have more leisure,, ctulicc this ! letter more fully. “ Wo have been requested by several of the frietuis of rhe Rev. Mr. Olin, to.st.re, that this gentleman has now removed from the state, and that the communication and certificate append ed to ir, inserted in amlbcr column of this days pap.T, is published at their instance, in order to vindicate his fame and his cltar tcfer from the unjustifiable attacks of several newspaper writ ers, and to remove every doubt which might have been created, as to the exemplary manner in which he discharged his duty while Profess or in Fracklia College. M;-. Qha has sei out. &ort> this place for Charleston, on Lis way to Virginia.”— Constitutionalist. TO THE PUBLIC. In the discussion which has been for sonflS time carried ou in the newspapers, in reference to Franklin Colledge, an unprovoked and un jus ifiable attack has been made on tho Rev. Mr. Olin, late a Professor in that Institution.. In an article Which appeared 111 the Somliern Banner, signed Justice, it was assorted that he was inefficient and unfaithful as an officer, and wholly worthless to tho College. A writer »H_- tho Georgia Journal who styles himself A Re tired Observer, has substantially repeated these charges, accompanied with insinuations and assertions of tho must injurious character. Mr. Olin has called upon ilwse anonymous writer*to give their names to the public, and pledged himself so refute those charges, or -ipy others that may be alledged against his official, conduct, whenever they shall be put in such a form that he can properly meet them. In Georgia where Mr. Oliu is pretty exten* sively kuown, no further vindication of his re* putatioii is necessary, but as he has now lefjt the 3t.ite to assume tho Presidency of a Col* lege in Virginia, where he is comparatively a stranger, his friends believe it duo to that In* stitution, in which they feel a lively interest, as ■ well as to him, that they should publish the con clusive and ample refutation which they possnssij - ;of all* the charges which have been made or ! which can be made against his professional' i character. The annexed certificate was for ' warded after tho publications in tho SoutherrtL Banner and Georgia Journal. It is .signed by five of the eight gentlemen with whom Mr. j Olin was associated in. the College at Athens. I It may be well to add, that thn atuhor <rf 1 “ Justice” has been given up by the 1 but as the certificate of the Faculty fixes upon him Hie most unfavorable imputations, we for* boar <0 expose him, out of our high respect fur his relatives, whose good name has not ofteot been disgraced by unworthy Athens, January 11, 1834. Tho undersigned with unfeigned satisfaction give this their testimonial of Professor OlinA' ability and faithfulness, in tho discharge associated with them in the govern - ' ment of Franklin College. To talents and acquirements of the highest order, Professor Olin added unwaried appHgatio,n in imparting-, instruction. Ills success received as it deserv ed universal commendation. In his intercourse with the Faculty he was uniformly mild,cour teous and gentlemanly, tn a high degree. \Ve regard his departure tram Franklin College a serious loss to the Institution. In his high ■moral worth, distinguished attainments, and unswerving integrity in (be performance of his duty, we Lave the most unbounded confidence* 11.
