Uni this is 100 narrow <t view, 1 hat. sect is now [ohfieal, amring at nuhlical power, and nllytng itself with the Federalists to entry the < lections in the non shivehohJing States. AL i this is apparent, both in the abolition tiewspa- | pvrs, and in the spot rhus and doingsol the leading Fvdeialists. Nothing can exceed the| ktuduvss and alleciion Wilh which lint Abolij tionisls speak ot thebederahsts; and as lot these Infer, they fulfil to the letter the in- j nt ruction which is given to ihdulgcuthusbands' towards their gentle spouses; “lie Io their vlr tuex very kind; he. to their faults a lidle blind, 'l'his the Federalists realize every time they spenk nf the Abolitionists, and with this coo mg and billing the Abohtionists are perfectly contented, nn<l eittol the Federalists to the skies, while covering the Republicans With calumny and opprbbrium. Os this Idve of one aide, and hatred of the other, we present the following specimens from the last Etnan cipator: “Rumor savS that a talented young inem i her from Kentucky, Mr. Menifee, astounded the Convention by rt burst of powerful elo quence, in which hb deprecated this sepniate organisation—exposed the tendency of the course of certain gentlemen —and reprobaled in the most indignant mariner every thing that looked, hnWever remotely, to disunion. He gtivn the meeting to understand distinctly that Kentucky Would not hear of a dissolution ot this Union, in any event now likely to happen. From all that I learn, I am certain that Mr. Mont fro spoke like a true patriot—n friend to tree discussion—to tho Union—-and id the whole country. Mr- Menifee is a slavehold- er. “Kentucky and Tennessee, thn two most) decisivf/y Whim States of all the slaveholding | section, will indignantly frown upon iho un.j . excitement and violence, which certain | .° * so anxious to produce.

There are ma.?y mem- Iwrs also from other States, auch as Mr. » X«- ; ton of South Carolina, Mr. Wise of Virginia, j Dotactel Dawson, and others of the same high character, devoted above all things to the L'niou and Constitution; and to them we may confidently look to give such a direction m the proceedings of their associates, as can scarce J ly be expected from a different set of persons, - whose chief aim is to combine the South so political purposes of their own.” ‘•.Messrs. Allen of Ohio, Buchanan; of p«. Hubbard and Pierce of New Hampshire. Niles and Smith, of Connecticut. Lyon and Norvell, of Michigan, Young and Wright, of New York, Williams of Maine, doughfaces, had better accept of Executive appointments, I if they can get them, for they will be marked by the people, as having prostituted them selves to the pleuge of doing all they can to STRENGTHEN SLAVERY! A * * * * “Had the doughfaced Senators voted accor ding to the sentiments of their constituents, the votes would have Been the other way, by I a majority of two, and had the eight absentees been present also and voted, nullification would j have been put down by a Vote of 31 to 21. * * * * * j “So, our doughfaces hnVe degraded llietri : selves to save the Union for nothing at all, for j the Union is not going to be dissolved at any ! rate. They can’t find the seam. Kentucky and Tennessee don’t go. And we Venture to , say, Old Virginia won’t go for that. The ’ South presents nothing like the “unbroken . front,” of which our Congressional spouters i and clerical deciaimers from the South, and I their doughfdeed supporters at the North, have so often assured US. Some of them mean to oppose argument with argument as I well as they can, and when argument fails, j to try words, and if that don’t answer, why, ! they will—“let it rain.” We honor their pru. dpncr. ,, ' The reader will see that every person praised by the Abolitionists is a Federalist; every owe abused by* them is a Republican; thus showing the complete political line which the Abolitionists observe in their friendships and hatreds. Even Status are loved in pro portion to their Whigery, er Federalism. Kentucky and Tennessee, says the Emanci pator, are Ihe twosft decisively Whig States, j mid therefore, receive their applause. Rut ; this applause will be withdrawn. These States are wot Federal; at tie: bottom they , are Republica'i'i, and us such they will appear; and then they w ill be honored With the abuse of the Federal Abo itionists. j Having shown that Federalism and Abo i litiotiism are political allies, now contending > together to secure the political power of the I Slate Governments and of the Federal Gov ernment, we think it material to show what Ird ject those Abolitidttlsts have in view. For tins purpose, let them speak for themselves. The Emancipator of January 4 says: “The whole United States can be Conver led to Abolition. The American Aitli-Slave- ! t v Society begart four years ago, few ill num ber, and with little personal influence, artd : with « n mie enveloped in the thickest clouds J of obloquy and misappreheusioh. If we have . gained what this list tells, \ve can gain the ■ rest. //’ tt?e con train New England, we. can gain AH/t York and Philadelphia. If we can gain the East, tve call gait) the West. If we eat) gain the free Suites, we can gain the slave States. And bv the blessing of God, keeping us straight in our course, and open ing the hearts of men to receive the truth, WE WILL.” ‘•'l'he effect of the ‘edict’ at Alton has only yet to be seen. But we believe tluit, as blood has began to flow, slavery’s altar will not be dry until Victims tail, or the altar itself is overthrown through the power of truth, or bv the hands ot public virtue ” * * * * * h (’oX3TITT TtONAT ITV OF SLAVERY.’ — If slavery can stand the test of the Bible and the United States Constitution, it will stand ‘for ever.’ If finally proved to be contrary tri ei ther one, its tall is certain. If both are (blind to be decidedly and clearly against i’, its full must be very speedy. The argument on our first page will be new to many of our readers, and woith reading by all. Unce awaken in tho minds of legal men the query whether slavery may not be unconstitutional, and a i thousand well tried tfimds will be on the trial of inquiry, and the subject will be examined in various views, atid arguments hitherto un dreamed of will be thrust forth and examined. We Would suggest to our friend?- the impor ! tnbcc of improving the first favorable oppor : tunity to bring the question of constitutional j ity of slavery distinctly before a competent court for argument and adjudication.” Such are the objects of Abolitionism, with which Federalism is now allied. To put down slavery all over the United States, and to make the negro equal to the white man, is , their object No hypocrisy in them in hiding their designs, and cloaking their ulterior plans | with the slave trade in the District, and the ; right of petition. They go the w hole figure, li js down with slavery all over the Union. New England is to be gamed first, and after j that, New York and Pennsylvania. New England, and, i»l fact. Massachusetts alone, is how the chief seat of Abolitionism, and 1 this results from her being the chief seat of ; Federalism, and the particular field of opera tions of the great champion of the Abolition, j ists—their orator in the House of Rcprcsen- I tatives—the Aochakists Chlootz of Amer, ica, Mr. John Qvikcy Adams. Looking i over the names of the donors to the cause of i Abolitionism for two months, to wit: Novcm- I her and December, and it is seen that the list of names, arranged by States and counties, make three columns of small print, and the Wis d o in , Ji!st ic c, and ITJ ode ra 1 a<> n. ROME, FLO YD COUNT Yt GEORGIA, MARCH 24, 1838. sums given amount to upwards o' Os these names, Massachusetts alone presents more than half, and of the $3,000, about $4,- 000 came from that State. AH the r»st of the Union, with England and St. Donin go added in, do not give as much as Massa chusetts alone. 'l'hiis it is the State whiih is most deeply Federal, and which is alsc the State from which Mr. Adams comes, tint is now the seat and soul of Abolitionism. We repeat, Abolitionism has heretifore been despised, and left to itself it woulc de serve to be so; but as a political power, lilted to federalism, it is dangerous ! and in thai as pect lite Uhole Union must now regard L -- The position which Mr. Clay and Mr. Webstur hold with respect to the Aboltion ists is now an object of national concert; and promising that Mr. Granger, the Abdition Candidate for Vice President at the lastPres i idential election, was tlieir favorite cailiidate, iwe recur to other and additional tcsthrpny to show their actual pdsitibii with regard tc these Abolitionists. With this view U-c to the public the following extract froil Mr. Weust Eli’s annunciation speech for tHe Pres idency, mudcat New York in March last: ; “On the general question of slavery, a great portion of the community is already strongly excited- The subject Ims hot drily attracted attention as a question of but it has struck a far deeper toned chord. It has arrested the religious feelings of the country; it has taken strong hold on the Con- I sciences of men. He is a rash man> indeed, little conversant with human nature, and es pecially has he a very erroneous estimate of the character of the people of this country, who supposes that a feeling of this kind is to be trifled with cr despised. It may be rea soned with; it may be made willing—to fulfil all existing engagements, and all existing du ties; to uphold and defend the Constitution, as il is established, with whatever regret about some provisions which it does actually con tain. But to coerce it into silence—4o en deavor to restrain its free expression—to seek to compress and confine it, warm as it is, and mere heated as such endeavors would inevita bly render it—should all this be attempted, I know nothing even in the Constitution) or in the Union itself, which would not be kn dangered by the explosion which might fob low.” So fiYtfoh for Mr. WebsTER; and that this j mode of shooting, encouraging, and strength ening the Abolitionists, is entirely satisfactory to them, We see the proof in all their publi cations. Now for Mr. Clay. Afraid of be ing anticipated by Mr. Webstdr, he has ta ken the lead at this session in doing every thing which they wish done; that is to say, excusing their motives and claiming forthem; DistrssioN oti the floor of Congress—getting up a tempest, and thi n coming in to allay it— first acting the part of the grand disturber, aS Mr. Cuthbert told him, that he might after, wards act the part bf the grand pacificator. The following article from a late Baltimore Republican shows him ns courting the Aboli tionists for two years past; “Daily developments itl Congress gtf far to prove to the mind of every man who is not ab solutely stupid, that a scheme is on hand to el evate Mr. Clay to the Presidency, through the agency of the abolition question. In the game which is now playing, the hand of Mr. (’lay is plainly to be seen, and the man who does not understand it, must be blind and ab solutely incapable of appreciating the con duct and address of political demagogues. “As early as the month of March, 1836, at a time vvhen the abolition question was first alltiUed to agitate Congress, Mr. (-lay, When a motion to refer a petition, praying for the abolition ot slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia, took advantage of the times to throw out a hint to the North, arid avowed liberty was the boon of every man, no mailer what might be his cast or complexion. “In making this avowal, it was evident to I all who noted it, that he leaped to the floor ’.o anticipate Mr. Webster, who, up to that pe ; riod. had maintained a profound silence in ic iation to the abolition question. Mr. Clay ; looked to the North- He saw that the fana i tics were daily gaining concerts, and ho had I made up his mind to throw out a gull trap to : catch them. As the Presidential election was I then on hand, and ns Mr. Clay was not a can didate for the Presidency, the position he as sumed did not awaken that attention to which it was entitled. By most men it was suffered to pass neglected. “Mr. Clay, at that period, saw, as plainly as any man could, that Mr. Van Buren would ’ be elected, and therefore he threw out his re marks to have a bearing on the succession. Who can doubt that such was the fact after the incidents of this week have been rendered and noted* “On the 16th of this month, Mr. Clay pt-e --sided at the annua! meeting of the Coloniza * tion Society, and, on taking the char, address- I cd that body nt some length, and, jn the course | of his remarks, spoke of the Abolitionists, j And how did he speak of them* In the terms |of reprobation and reproach* As a body of j men who were engaged in a crusade against the Union? As a body of fanatics, unenlitled to the consideration of men of sdund mind’ No: far from it. On the contrary, he Spoke of them aS well-meaning but misguided men, who, however much they might be in error, were entitled to respectfill consideration. We could not, or did not, understand and appreci ate his objects? Did he not leadthe Abolition party? “And on Monay last, when Mr. Wall of Npw Jersey presented an Abolition petition, which Mi-. Calhoun wished to have laid on the table without debate, what Wa§ Mr. Clay’s course! He sternly and boldly advocated its reception anil reference to the committee on the District of Columbia. Were not bis ob jects palpable? Who can doubt that Mr. Clay is to Be tile candidate of the Whig and Abolition parties? Since I commenced this letter; we have had a scerie of excitement in the House, unparalleled in the History of the country.” , The extent to which political Abolitionism is now carried in many of the Northern States; and tlie firm alliance which it has al ready made with the Federalists, (calling themselves Whigs) we believe td be wolly un known to the Republicans, or even to the Whigs themselves, of the Southern States- We think it right, therefore, to give ail exam ple of this alliance, and to recommend to ev. ery friend of the Union, be his politics what they may. It is taken from the Utica (N. Y.) Denidtiratj and slidvVs the alliahce between Federal Whigdry and Abolitionism in the county of Which Utica is the chief town, in November last, and which is only a sample of the manner in which they aCietl every where, Will be observed that tile proceedings on the part of the abolitionists were Official, being conducted by the officers of the anti slavery society of the county, and by ordel' of the society, and it will be rioted that the soci ety offer their Whig allies TWO THOU SAND votes in that county. Washingion (Ilobe. [From the Brunswick Advocate.] AGENT OP GEORGIA’S REPORT. Herewith we give the whole report of the Agent of the Statu of Georgia—though it arrived so late that we found it difficult to print it. Il is however so full of matter that it is impossible to abridge it or to take extracts from it without doing it injustice. It wlli commend itself to all our readers; MEMORIAL. To the Honorable, the Senators and Represen tatives of the Lcgislaiiirc 6f Tennessee in General Assembly met: The undersigiied has beteh instructed by Gov. Gilnter, under a resolution of the Le gislature of Georgia, to proceed to this place, and endeavor tb obtain from your honorable body, the right of way and other privileges, for the extension of the Western and Atlan tic Rail Road from the Georgia line to the Eas tern margin of the Tennessee River, at some point hereafter to be designated, by the prop er authorities. The vast importance of this connexion to the citizens of both States, the public atten tion and approbation which has accompanied it, and the ample means set apart for its im mediate commencement, lend mo to believe there will be nd obstacle in the way of its accomplishment; and more particularly, when it is understood, that the State of Georgia stands ready whenever the application is made, to grant similar privileges to the State of Tennessee, or her incorporated companies. Tile physical features of the surrounding country, and other circumstances, will fix the point fer the commencement of this Road, at or in the neighborhood of Ross’s Landing.— Placed on a fine find deep river, on the verge of the cotton and rice regions on the one hand, and the provision regions on the other, anil ac cessible from existing and contemplated im provements and communications from every quarter, it must give rise to a great inland city, inferior to no other in the United States. From this point six routes will present them selves to the Western traders lor the transpor tation of their commodities, and other sup plies. The first through the Decatur and Memphis Rail Road, or by the way of the Tennessee, down the Mississippi, to New Or leans, and from thence along the inland pass age to Mobile, St. Andrews Bay, the Apalach ictdn, and up its branches; or across the pen insula of Florida to Brunswick, and other towns find cities on the Atlantic. Ihe second from Gunter’s Landing on the Tennessee, by Rail Road to Selma on the Alabama, and from thence to Mobile, failing in with the first route. The third will take its course on thn main trunk of the Western and Athrtic Rad Road, until it diverges to the right, down the beautiful valley of the Chattooga, to the head of steamboat navigation at Wetumpka, and from thence down the Alabama to Mobile, and then take the line of the first and secon 1 routes. This route it is presumed, will be ac complished by the Hiwassee and Wetumpka Rai! Road companies, and it deemed expedi ent and necessary, by the tstate of Georgt i Vol i. 10 or some company which she may hereafter in corporate. 'flic fourth will pass on the main trunk through the Cherokee country, until it reaches the high ground on the Eastern bank of theChrtttalfdobHee, and then takea dii’eciiou to West Point, (where it will meet the rail road on the said river from Montgomery,) ami to Golutiibus .and other towns on the Chattahoo chee rind Apalachicola, readhiiig the termin ations of the previous routes. The fifth from the same point near.the Chattahoochee, will pursue a codrse to Macon on the Ocmulgee, and then meet with steamboat navigation td Brunswick, Darien, SaVaunali ami Charles ton, and in a few years With Rail Road to Savannah and Brunswick. The sixth from the same point will take a direction for Cov ington, Madison, Athens, Greensborough and Augusta, dhd then rc-'.ch Savannah by a steamboat ami Charleston by a Rail Road. The extent of the lines upon these differed: routes, (without estimating the lateral bran ches which will hereafter arise,)addcd togeth er, will approach 4,000 miles, and confined almost entirely to a cotton region, in which, from climate rind other considerations, the price be -what it may, itd cdltiire must be pur sued id all time to come. Upon all these routes except the first, Ten. nessec Can be the soonest in the market, an I will meet with a ready demand for her pork, flour, bacon, lard, beef, iron, castings, lime, gypsum, and various other smaller articled; and with charges for transportation greatly reduced. The transportatlcti of lime alone to reclaim the land impoverished and worn out by the cotton culture iri the South, and for other purposes, will be a source of gteat prof, it to the citizens of Tenri &kje, and it is be- Ijcvcd that the Rail Road companies can af ford id carry it 100 miles for $5 per ton.. Its price throughout Georgia fair a great niaiiy years, has rallied freni a dollar to a dollar and fifty cents per Bujliel. Its e.x tdnsiye production and use, from these causes, and for lhesie purposed, Will have a great ten dency to invigorate arid impi-dvo the agricul tural pursuits of both Stated, to increase their population, and suppress in some measue the rage for emigration. Nature has, perhaps, done tridro, and man less, for Tennessee and 1 Georgia, than any other twd States in the Union. But this state of inaction lias passed away, a.nd in gi | villg place to a fine dpiritfdr Internal Improve- I ment in every part of these tit'd sister States, ■ which must soon lead to a grprit amelioration in all their relations; and which a genial clime, ' great mineral wealth, immense water power, the productions of almost every climate, and I wise legislation are so cripabie of producing. The advantages to be derived by Tennessee ' and other parts of the West dS Well as the ■ South, by changing the routes of a great ; part of their foreign arid other importations, riru next considered. Ross’ Landing is about 400 miles from Charleston, Savannah, Bruns wick and Mobile, and about 150 miles from I Nashville; consequently, this places the great ier portion of 'l'enricSscc find a considerable I part of the West, as will appear from theotli ler maps and other examinations, nearer to ' these parts than any other Upon th 3 Atlantic ;or Gulf of Mexico; and fewer impediments will be encouniercd upon these routes thail any other existing, or in contemplation. South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama ap pear determined hereafter to make their im. portations arid exportations nedrly similar in amount, if easy and speed}- intercourse with the West and other measures now io embryo, can produce it, and no longer submit to the withering effect which has arisen from their importing 4,000,000, arid exporting about $30,000,000. Laws have or shortly will be passed by these States for the creation of companies with limited partnerships, which will present the opportunity for the investment lof capital without risk to the remainder of the owners property, and for combined ope rations by individuals for importing directly from Rufripe into Sauthern parrs, all com modities which may be wanted for the South and West, and which have heretofore been I received chiefly through the Northern cities. In furtherance of this plan, it is in con templation, to make arrangements between the Southern and European banks, for Ui« establishment of mutual commercial facilities between merchants of both countries. Ex perienced navigators and merchants nro of the opinion, that goods can be imported into Southern Atlantic ports by pursuing the Sou thern passage, and falling somewhat within the track of tho trade winds, as cheap, and with as much expedition and safety as into tho ports of New York, Philadelphia, and Balti more. If the plan for running steam ahip«», to and from Europe, shall answer public t*X« pectation, goods may be imported in twelve or fifteen days into Charleston, Savannah, and Brunswick, mid three more will bring them to the Tennessee River; a shorter tirris than it usually lakis to bring thgm from tho Northern cities to the West generally. 80. sides, on the Western find Atlantic Rai!
