symbol of your liberties, and swoar to protect it ••
free from domestic insult, as it has been preserved,
by the blood of your gallant countrymen, unstained,
by foreign presumption!
The State Rlffhta* Sentinel.
The reverend disponsor of divinity and scurrility,
law and nullilication, A. D. Longstreet, Esq. emptied
upon our devoted heads all the phials of his malig.
nant wrath, in his paper of the 25th ult. We were
not unprepared for this •• outpouring ” of his accu.
riuUted gall; for we had long witnessed, more in
pity than in triumph, his feeble attempts to sustain
himself by argument, on ail those themes of contra,
vorsy with us, which he himself had courted ; and
knowing that it is a characteristic of little minds,
when reason fails, to defend error by. virulence and
personalities, rather than acknowledge conviction,
abuse from him wo lookod for with just os much cer.
tainly as wc would effects from any other cause.
JuJge L. asserts that because wc last fall sup.
ported one or two individuals diseased with nullifies,
tion, altachod totho party with which wo then acted,
nnd which has become extinct, we roust bo " the
weakest or worst of men and that he, in his mis-
tionary spirit of Christian philanthropy, is disposed
to convince tho world, that we “ought not to bo
believed when wo promulgate our own depravity.”
Wc can only reply to this scuarility that, agreeably
to tho Judge's own reasoning, he must bo, not only
a icry weak man himself, but a very wicked one ;
lie is not only weak in his premises and wicked in
his conclusions, but vilely corrupt in practising those
very " depravities," which in ns he holds up to the
world as too monstrous to be believed, although wc
promulgate them ourselves.
%Vo sometime since, under the belief that the
party with which we then acted would reject the
vile heresy of nullification, supported a few of its
members who were diseased with tho mania. This
Judge L. believes to he, in his purity of heart and
soul, an evidence of our weakness and depravity.
Judge L. is now supporting men for .congress who
reject his conservative doctrines of absolute slate
sovereignty and constitutional nullification, by which
he docs, agreeably to his own shewing, acknowledge
not only his own weakness and wickedness, bqt pro.
mulgatcs the disgraceful fjet to the world !
Wc put the Judge so completely down not long
i.nccon the subject of the college controversy, that
we di i intend, in mercy to him, to fo boar, and not
use the cudgel placed in our hands hy the last ad.
dress of Fcv. Mr. Olin. Wc were not disposed to
use it against a prostrate, humbled antagonist; but
his ov.’n wiltulncss has mado even forbearance no
longer a virtuo.
It will be recollocted, that the Judge volunteered
his services in what ho called the defence or Mi.
Olm, against our charges, when we simply called
upon that gentleman to correct the assertion, that
wc had attributed to him tho authorship of *• The
Friends of equal Rightsand that he, rather than
allow Mr. Olin to condescend to do us a simple act
oi justice, undertook to prove, from weak and ridic
ulous arguments, that what Mr. O. charged us with
directly might have been inferred, &c. Tho prin
cipal ground taken by Judge L. to establish the cor
rectness of this inference was, that Mr. Olin had
mistaken our first editorial which appeared immedi
ately after the publication of" The Friends of equal
_ - - FOR TUB SOUTHERN OANN'ER.
In the Southern Whig of the dth ult., it is
stated by Reuben Thornton, Thomas Holland
and Andrew Burr, in their address « To the
Public,” that Cnpt. Holland, as one of the
Coraraitteo to make arrangements for (he cel.
ebratiou of the 4th of July last, at'Gainesville,
y gave orders to a negro man to hoist a flag,
winch he gave him, on the top of the Court
House ; and having other business to attend
to, was absent at the time the order was ex-
ecutcd. Some officious, unauthorized individ.
uals who were not members of the State
Rights’party, influenced the servant who knew
no better, to obtain a large bunch of hickory
bushes, and tie them around the top of the
staff, to which the flag was .suspended, evi
dently with a view to insult the party who
had ordered the flag to be hoisted. Capt. H.
was absent from town that night, and was un-
apprisqd of the Hickory bushes being united
with the flag, until his return on the next mor-
ning, when he promptly ordered his servant
to go up and knock them off,”
The above statement is given, as compri
sing »11 the facts of tho trasaction, and con.
inina four positive averments.
1. That Thomas Holland, as one of the
Committee of arrangements, had the flag hois,
led on the Court house by a negro.
2. That Thomas Holland gave the flag to
the negro.
3. That some officious unauthorized indi
viduals influenced that negro to obtain and
tie a large bunch of hickory bushes around
the top of the flag staff.
4. That the aforesaid Thomas Holland
mado his servant go up and only knock off
the bushes.
1 will now relate the.irue circumstances of
that transaction, which will be found to be
confirmed by the following certificates, sign-
ed by gentjemen of the first respectability in
in Gainesville, nnd conclusively shewing, that
neither of the foregoing averments ure cor-
rect.
About, fifteen months past, some of the
citizens of Gainesville procured a flag by sub
script ion. On the 4th of July 1933, this fla«
was suspended on a tall pole, capped with
hickory leaves, in a few feet of the . Court
House. Again, on the first Monday hi Octo.
ber 1833, it was with hickory leaves, snspen.
ded on the same pole : a few days thereafter
the flag was taken down at my instance, and
laid away in the desk of my store house,
where it remained until the third day of July
lust: in the afternoon of the day, I sent a
white man living with me, to procure some
hick-ufy bushes, and when ho returned with
them, I l ad the flag brought down, the hick
ory bushesjied around the top of a staff, the
flag attached, nnd then took them to-the new
Court House, hired a white man and two ne
groes, who were working on the Court House,
to hoist tiie flag on the top thereof. The
next morning, being the 4tb of July, the afore
said Thomas Holland, called to ma and or-
lered me to take the flag down; on my refu
sing to do so, he sent bis own servant up,
Rights," (from which he quoted and on which he
founded liis charge against us) for one which ep.
pcared about a month afterwards. >
And why did lie wish to induce the belief, that
Mr O. had mistaken our editorials? Why, simply
because at the time the second one was written,
o.hcrs had accused Mr. O. i f writing “The Frionds
of equal Rights;" and because others had, he logic-
ally reasons that wo could not speak of tho author
without alluding to him! In this poor way lie la-
bored to justify Mr. Olin in his charge against us,
nnd to prevent that gentleman from doing us an act
of justice. But wlvat docs Mr. O. suy in his last ad.
dress on this subject? Poes he attempt to cstab-
lish tho correctness of his charge on the grounds
assumed by his chivalrous champion ? Not at all;
bat asserts what he before asserted, that it was founded
on our first editorial, the one that appeared “ imnio
dutch* after the publication of the first number .of
"The Friends of equal Rights," and not on the second;
thereby demolishing with his own hand what little
'vc had left of the weak structure, roared by mcd.
dlcsoruo malevolence, for liis own protection.
Judge L. has most indignantly repelled the charge
of his entertaining hostile feelings towards the Col.
lege, since tho rejection of his claims to h professor,
ship, hy tho board of trustees. On this subject the
reverend Judge will excuse us for quoting and apply,
ing to him, tho following passage of Scriptur
“ tho tree is known by its fruit.” If he denies that
he had an agency in getting up the excitement (pro-
ducod by his own defeat) last fall against the college,
he cannot deny, that he has contributed to tho
spread of it, by vindicating and upholding those who
had. And by joining in the conspiracy, produced
hy his own rejection, he verbally publishes to the
world, that he entertains a higher opinion of his
own merits, than did tho hoard, of trustees. To
eompare small matters with large ones, Judge L.
has pursued the same course towards the College,
since he lias lost sight of a professorship, that his
friend John C. Calhoun has towards tho American
Government, sinco ho lost sight of tho Presidency
Their creed is to pull down every thing ip the
emoluments of which tlioy cannot participate,
which will not minister to their personal ambition,
f f Judge L. is so fast and unwavering a friend of
Franklin College, how* is it that during liis late visit
to this {dace, and attendance upon Commencement,
ho saw and heard nothing connected with the public
exorcises of the institution, or with tho transactions
of the board of trustees, worth recording.to their
credit ? And how is it, that, whilst other editors
from abroad, (of both parties) were eloquent in their
expressions of gratification with regard to every
thing they aw and heard, the Judge could find
nothing worth recording editorially, in his valuable
journal, but tho small end contemptible difference
which existed in the board of trust, on tlie subject
of appointing a trustee ? Why was this small mat.
ter seized hold of with so much avidity by the Judge,
and sent forth to the world arrayed in colours so
false and malignant f Why, for no other purpose
that we can conceive of, but to produce that, by
arousing anew political party jealousies, which lie
had faded to effect through the instrumentality of sec.
tvian bigotry; namely, the destruction of an insti.
tution, which he could net enter as a reverend pro.
lesser of law, divinity, nullification and scurrility.
Oa this subjent wo turn him over to the tendcr cfcr
tie* of the editor of the Augusta Courier. '
made him strip the flag from the staff, and
then ordered him to throw thefiag, staff and
bushes from the top of the Court House to the
ground, which was done hy the servant. He
then made his servant carry that flag away,
and it was not hoisted or seen any more that
day. This was the only flag hoisted, on the
Jourt House in Gainesville. How then could
Thomas Holland have this flag elevated by a
negro, when 1 myself had ii done by a white
man and negro ? How could Thomas Hoi-
ind have givcu this flag to a negro, when it
had never been out of my possession ? How
uuld officious persons have influenced Tho-
mas Holland’s negro, or any negro employed
by him, to attach the hickory bushes, when
neither Thomas Holland’s negro, or any one
employed by him had any thing to da with
.the putting up of the flag ? Ilow could Reu
ben Thornton, Thomas Holland and Andrew
Barr obtain their consent to publish to the
world, that the aforesaid Thomas Holland
sunt his servant up only to knock off the bushes,
when it is proven by the certificates below,
that lie ordered and compelled his servant to
pull down the fag also ?
I have been told dint a small stand of col-
ors belonging to a Horse company, was after-
wards placed in the Court House, during the
delivery of the State Rights’ oration—and it is
strongly suspected that this was done to allay
the indignation of the people, manifested by
them, when they came in from the country
and were informed,, that a man, calling
himself an American citizen, had made his ne.
gro tear down and throw the «American
Flag" ialo the dust. ' ..._ .

down, pickcd-up the flag, and carried it to his
master’s store. We further certify, that this
was the only flag hoisted on the Court House
in Gainesville, or on any other place either on
the third or fourth of July last; and that we
saw no other flag except a small ono belong,

The ^Geoigta Journal” will confer a fa*

PREmtnF NTS
of the Grand Jury of Jackson Courtly at the
August Term of the Superior rCourt, 1834.
We the Grand Jury-for August term 1831, of the
Superior Court for Jackson County, in performing
the last duty required of us, make the following pre
sentments Viz:
We would embrace the occasion to congratulate
our fellow citizens on the evidence we have of tlie
advancement of morality in our county, which is
demonstrated by tho fact, that no application has
been made to our body for a bill charging any of our
citizens with an offenco ’against the criminal laws of
our country with a solitary exception..
We have examined the books and vouchers of
the trustee of the poor school fund, and find them
correct and neatly kept, and his conduct in office
calculated to afford entire satisfaction to our body,
and that he has paid out one dollar and ninety eight
cents over and above the receipts.
On the subject of a call of a convention for the
purpose of amending the Constitution of this State
so as to constitute and organize a court, having ap.
pellate jurisdiction, as-suggested by liis Honor Judge
Dougherty, we would with duo deference to tho opin.
ion of his Honor, bog leave to express our doubts
with regard to the expediency or propriety of the
proposed measure.
In tho first place, we object to -the call of a con
vention for that purpose, because in our opinion the
organization .of such a Court would be one of the
most important alterations in our system of Jurispru
dence, and consequently should be made with groat
deliberation and caution,—that a small majority in
convention sustained by a small majority of the peo
ple, might fix upon us a tribunal, that might in a
short time, become obnoxious to a large majority of
the people, tiut which when once' established could
probably never be abolished.
We therefore believe that if -it should be desirable
to constitute such court, the safest course would be
to attempt Hhe necessary alteration of the constitu.
tion, by legislative enactment, as it is our opinion
that, lief ore so important an olteration in our- Judi
ciary should be made, the necessity of such altera,
tion should be felt and acknowledged by a sufficient
number of our fellow citizens, to effect the alteration
in the mode we have recommended, and which when
made by such a majority, would afford some assur
ance of the permanent popularity of tho measure.
In the second place, we doubt tho expediency of
establishing sueh a court, believing as wo do, that
plain and simple as our system of Jurisprudence is,
all tlie ends of justice are generally obtained, a'nd if
there are esses - in which errors may bo committed
which would be corrected by a court of appeals^ it-is,
believed such cases are few and far between; and
that it would be impolitic to create what we believe
to be a general and permanent evil to remedy a few
solitary cases of supposed -injustice. We know that
it is natural to desire to shun responsibility when it
can bo done without inflicting public or private inju.
ry; and would regard the remarks of his Honor on
this subject as an evidence of becoming modesty, and
the absence of that presumption that Would claim
infallibility. If, however, such a Cburt could be es.
tablished that would not unnecessarily protract the
termination of -litigation, nor add to the expense of
parties, our objections would be obviated, and would
join in recommending the establishment of siich a
Court, But not, being able to conceive at presont
the practicability of establishing such a tribunal, we
forbear making any further remarks on the- subject.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Douglierty,
we would tender to him the assurance of our presoaal
regard, and express our approbation of the manner
in which he has performed the duties of his high
office during the present term. . *
To the Solicitor General we would tender our ac
knowledgments for the polite manner in which he
has attended to the calls of our body. The other
Officers of Court havo our approbation for the man.
ner in which they have performed the duties of their
Offices.
We reconftnend that these our presentments be
published in-the Southern Banner, and Southern
Whig. . -
