Sr.de rights, which if not arrested would in.
volvc the country in ruin, and which they sol.
emnly professed to be ever ready to oppose,
even to the spilling of the last hearts blood
drop. And fot what do we see them, at somo
of their recent meetings, resolving to lay aside
all these State Right principles of previous
party distinction, so professedly sacred, and
crouch sumissively to the banner of the “ Bill
of blood,” as w aved over them by Judge
White ? Is it lor a doubtful chance of party
nscendaticv, that it shall ho published in the
land of the heroes of ’70 that principles so
dear mid sarred, are thus voluntarily surren
dered ? It is even so; and yet these very
same are ruiling at the inconsistency o! the
Clark men in their support of Mr. Van Huron
on account of sonic previous disagreement
which may have obtained, although bis prin
ciples are in coincidence with their own.
if the statements of the Nullifiers are true,
that Mr. Van Buren was a lederalist and op
posed to tho war, and was likewise instrumen
tal in the enactment of the odious tariff laws,
and front whose prejudices on the subject of
slavery as a Northern man, danger to the
South might reasonably he apprehended, what
a compliment is it to that portion of their num
ber, the Troup men, who effectually support
ed him for the Vice Presidency. Yet such is
sheir suicidal desperation, that they seek to in
voke only one individual ol the Union party,
the Editor of the Federal Union, in an alleged
inconsistency, even at the expense of making
their whole number a set of dishonest, incon
sistent federalists & traitors, at the. time they
were so warmly engaged in the support of
Mr.Van Buren for the Vice Presidency. Sure
ly, he who gnaws his own hones for spite, can
not huve been reduced lo such extremities by
a concatenation of more galling circumstan
ces, than lias compelled these boasting nulli
flers, who would dissolve the union sooner
than abandon their principles, to swallow the
Jacksonism of Judge White, and kiss the
bloody hill by which tiicir darling offspring

' With what grace can these charges of 1:1
consistency and federalism, he proclaimed
from such presses ol the Opposition ns the
Boston Centinel, United Stutes Gazette, Phil
adelphia Gazette, dec. who so unblusliingly
dealt out their slanderous abuses to Mr. Jef
ferson in ’08, ’99, and 1800. Federalists of
so long a standing, and so blue a dye, it migl
well be supposed, would he fit organs to echo
the sentiments of their brethren the nullifiers
in their crusade against federalism and incon
aistency. Clayton and Berrien too, can step
forth with a mighty grace, from the Hartford
Convention ranks, and unite iu the clamor of
their brethren, “Down with the Federalist!”
Surely, by the powerful force of such men with
the aid of such presses, Federalism will be
Consistently broken down, and the sacred prin
ciples of the Nullifiers be preserved inviolable
by the promotion of Judge White, with his
Jacksonism and Force Bill!
Let rogues rail at dishonesty, and thieves
and cutthroats at a violation of the laws; but
so long os such presses, with Clay and Web
ster, Clayton and Berrien, are iri their ranks,
and While and Dougherty are on their tickets
for President and Governor, let not the nulli
fiers breathe the mention of federalism or in
consistency.
therefore, that I w s present *on the occasion
alluded to, and have exammed the statement
made hy Col. Gamble, and that it is in perfect
accordance with my own recollection of the
affair. As to whom the iudignity was offered,
cannot at this distance of time assert posi.
lively, for it had been effaced from my memory
many years.” Now Asa, if you’ll look again,
you’ll see that you have been speaking from
Cot. Gamble’s memory—not your own, for the
affair had been “effaced many years.” You
are a faithful worshipper! Your creed is
♦« saint or sinner, hosanna to the highest!”
“ In our county,”—understood.)
Benjamin Gobert brays (no doubt, through
the trumpet of his Pythagorean brother)—as
l doubt very much whether he could write an
English sentence correctly.
One blow is sufficient to lay the testimony
of Mr. Harman beyond the scope of even u
charitable faith- He says in one breath that
“Judge Schley was openly and decidedly in
favor of the British cause—supporting them
with an honest zeal, and would have held that
man in utter contempt who doubted his sincer
ity,” and scarcely wets his pen, before he
says again, that “ whenever a natal virfory
was announced, he wa9 loud and boisterous
in rejoicing—cannons must he fired—houses
illuminated, &c. &c.” Surely if this gentle-
man understands himself he means to say that
our naval victories redounded to the glory of
the British cause! and by a very fair infer-
ence from his expressions, we may assert
that he was opposed to our naval victories, as
he charges Judge Schley with sin in his re
joicings at them, and thereby fix upon him a
more odious and indelible stigma of infamy
and torvisin (since it is based upon his own
confession) than any of these qualified milk
and water charges, which have been forged
against Judge Schley in envy’s miserable fur-
uace. A CITIZEN.

meut to abandon its neutral position—surely
the obligations which confederated States owe
to each other, are not less sacred than those
which regulate their conduct toward^ foreign
nations. The evils of slavery fail mostly oi
those among whom it exists, and they alone
by natural conventional right are competent
to make laws under which it shall be regula-
ted, mitigated, abolished or endured. These
evils can only be aggravated, to the discom
fort and danger of the master and the preju
dice and misery of the slave, by attempts to
encroach upon this jurisdiction.
Therefore Resolved, That the people of the
United States, by the Constitution under which
by the divine blessing, they hold their most
valuable political privileges, huve solemnly
agreed with each other to leave to the respec
tive States the jurisdiction pertaining to the
relations of master and slave within their boun
daries, and that no man or body of men, ex
cept the people or governments of those States,
can of right do any act to dissolve or impair
the obligations of that contract.
Resolved, That we hold in reprobation all
attempts, iu whatever guise they may appear,
to coerce any of the United States to ubolisti
slavery by appeals to the terror of the master
or the passions of the slave.
Resolved, That we disapprove of all as9o-
ciations instituted in the uon-slave holding
States, with an intent to act withiu the slavehol-
di g States,upon the subject of slavery in those
States, without their consent—For the purpose
of securing freedom of individual thought and
expression, they are needless—and they at’
ford to those persons in the Southern States
whose object is to effect a dissolution of the
Union, (if any such there may be now or
hereafter) a pretext for the furtherance of their
schemes.
Resolved, That all measures adopted, the
natural and direct tendency of which is to ex
cite the slaves of the South to revolt, or of
spreading among them a spirit of insubordiou
tioii, arc repugnant to the duties of the man
and the citizen, and that where such measures
become manifest by overt acts, which are re
o»-niz.ihlo by oonotitutionUl LlWS, We Will aid
hy all the means iu our power, the support of
those laws.
Resolved, That while we recommend to
ottiers the duty of sacrificing their opinions,
passions and sympathies upon the altar of the
laws, we are bound to 9how that a regard to
the supremacy of those laws is the rule of
our conduct—and consequently to deprecate
all tumultuous assemblies, all riotous or vio
lent proceedings, all outrages on person and
property, and all illegal notions of the right or
duty ot executing summary and vindictive jus-
tice in any inode unsanctioned by law.

“ Mon that make
Envy and crooked in dice nourishment,
Pare bite tho best.”—Shak.
Mk. Editor,—In the Sentinel of the 28th,
are arrayed a line of certificates against the
honorable W. Schley, from men whose ambi
tion has outrun their talents, and whose envy
has been foiled by his success—through a
creature who, if the spirit of Balaam’s ass,
which perhaps took a Jewish descent, has
crept into his trunk, may deserve some re
spect for his antiquity—or perhaps conside
ration for his unexpected appearance among
beings of a more elevated stamp. -This little
** bundle of words,” has fattened into self-es
teem on the manna that lias fallen from the
lips of his Jupiter, and will ere long, if his ra
tions are not abridged, fill the cerements of
the frog mother.
Col. Gamble who is the lead star in this
contemptible constellation, has become tribu
tary to a character infinitely smaller than his
own—and sculks behind the aegis of one, not
large enough to make a spot upon his disk—
vainly hoping to introduce his stiletto through
the cloak of friendship, in proof of that ardent
patriotism, which in this ingenuous age is in
scribed upon the buckler of every designing
politician. He seems to bo aware of his re
al motives in affording his grave allegations
to his agent, since he is first to suspect him
self—he is like the innkeeper’s sign “ the old
wolf shews through the last design.” But to
pass over the antagonising throes of duty and
friendship, in this personal friend of the indi
vidu&l in question, let us advance to the main
charge—which is, that he (Judge Schley) i<*
a Federalist! Now, how docs (’ol. Gamble
prove it ? “I have always understood him to
be a Federalist, as opposed to the great Re
publienn party of the United States.” To
what Republican party ? Surely to the one
in whose ranks the Colonel now is—as he
and the Judge “have ever been antipodes.
Arranged as they are by the Colonel himself
•—how does he proceed to render the Judge
obnoxious to the people of Georgia ? By hon
estly, saying that “Judge Schley has been op.
posed to what he (Col. G. considered every
Republican administration of both the general
and state governments, since he (Col. G.
has taken any part in political concents, un-
less indeed, the present administrations are lie
publican.” This indeutity teaches us, Colo
nel, that he is a ** man after our own heart,”
and raises him high in the scale of our affec
lions—particularly as you do uot “ pretend to
inpugn or call in question his patriotism as a
politician, or his integrity as a man.”
Mr. Holt’s testimony in relation to the pro.
ccedings of the camisado, headed by Col
Gamble, is very strong—look at it. “ I state,
Whereas it has become matter of public
notoriety, that projects are entertained by in
dividuals in the Northern States of this Union,
lor effecting the immediate abolition of slave,
ry in our sister States, and that associations
have been firmed for thi9 end ; and there is
cause to believe that the number and influence
of these persons and societies have been great,
ly exaggerated by the apprehensions of many
of our Southern brethren, and too probably
bv the sinister designs of others who diseern
an occasion to promote in the South, disaffec.
lion to our happy Union : And in consequence
of the great increasing excitement prevailing
upon this subject, it becomes our duty to at-
tempt to calm the minds and assure the con.
fidencc of the good people of those States,
by expressing the sense of this community
upon these proceedings: We, the citizens of
Boston, here assembled, hereby make known
our sentiments respecting this momentous sub.
ject, in the hope that the same may be favor
ably received and adopted by other commu.
oities and assemblies of our fellow-citizens,
time is not far distant, when in every nation
and kingdom under Heaven, man shall be
found in the full possession and enjoyment of
bis natural and unalienable rights. At the
same time it must be remembered that slave,
ry, so far as it exists in the United States, is
n evil entailed upon us by the mother coun-
try, against the wishes and in opposition to
the strenuous and repented efforts of our fore
fathers, as the legislative acts of the several
colonies prohibiting the traffic in slaves, veto-
cd by order of the crown, abundantly prove.
Resolved, That the amelioration of the con
dition of the slaves, and the fiual abolition of
shivery in the United Slates, are subjects for
he exclusive deliberation and action of the
i>pople and legislatures of the slave holding
states; and when we take info consideration
lie known sense of right and just.ee, and the
generous and chivalrous feelings of our bre
thren of the south, we cannot doubt that slave
ry and its concomitant evils will continue to
receive from them all the attention which
iheir importance demands ; and that in due
time, and as fast as circumstances will admit,
nd in the way and manner their experience.

lictate, slavery shall gradually disappear from
our country, and that only stain upon our
’scutcheon be wiped away.

Great Meeting at Portland A large
meeting was held in Portland, at the City Hall,
on Saturday evening; and spirited resolutions
were adopted, disapproving the measures of
the abolitionists. Gen. Chandler presided,
and Rutu9 Read acted as Secretary.
The meeting was addressed by Messrs.
Ware, Neal, Hayes, Anderson, Codman,
Preble and Jewett; and a committee chosen
to wait upon the several Church Committees,
and request them not to open their houses for
such lecturers. The following resolutions,
among others, were adopted by the meeting :
Resolved, That it is the bounden and sacred
duty of good citizens of every state, carefully
and scrupulously to avoid all interference and
attempts to interfere with the peculiar inter,
esrs, concerns, laws, and domestic policy of
every other State to the Union ; and that all
such acts of interference, where they tend to
disturb the quiet, to alienate the feelings, to
provoke the jealousies, or to jeopardize the
safety of the citizens of States made the unwil.
TOWN MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.
At a large meeting of the citizens of the ci.
ty and county of Philadelphia, convened ac
cording to public notice at the Musical Fund
Hall.
The meeting was called to order by W. C.
Patterson, Esq. chairman of the committee of
.superintendence, who nominated Alderman
M’MICllAEL as President—the nomination
was unanimously confirmed.
Alderman McMichael opened the meeting
in a brief and appropriate address.
He was followed by Robt. T. Conrad, Esq.
Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions,
Jesse R. Burden, Esq. and the Hon. J. R.
Ingersoil, after which the vote was taken, and
the resolutions as annexed were adopted, with-
out a dissenting voice.
Whereas, The indiscreet and improper in-
terference of certain individuals of the North,
with the domestic relations of the slave-hol
ding states of the South, having endangered
the peace of our fellow citizens of that sec.
tion of our common country, and excited ap-
prehensions and prejudices injurious to the
Union; and whereas, the citizens of the South,
having appealed to the non-slave holding
states, to manifest tiicir disapprobation of the
measures referred to, and to rescue them from
the incendiary efforts of those who make our
territory the seat of a warfare upon the do
mestic institutions of the South ; Therefore,
Resolved, That we respond to the call of
our brethren of the South ; that we are their
brethren, and as such, sympathize iu their
dangers and wrongs, and view with regret and
Resolved, That should the colored popula-
tion of the South, excited by the causes refer
red to, or by any other, unhappily revolt
against the laws and the lives of our South
ern brethren, (which Heaven, in its mercy,
avert!) the young men of the North are pre
pared to meet the danger, shoulder to ahoiil-
dt r, with the people of the South, and prove,
by the ready sacrifice ot their blood, their de-
devotion to the peace and the rights of all parts
>f our beloved Union.
Resolved, That we recommend to the leg.
islature of Pennsylvania, to enact at the next
session, such provisions as will protect our fel.
low.citizen9 of the South from incendiary
movements within our borders, should any
such hereafter be made.
Resolved, That the North is sound to the
core on the subject of slavery ; that the mass
of the people of Uiu nou-slaveholding States
neither claim nor desire a right to interfere, with
the institutions of the South ; and regard with
decided and marked disapprobation, the prm
ciples and measures of ttie Abolitionists.
Resolved, That we confidently believe the
nutnder and intliicnce of those in this State
who are disposed to agitate the subject ot
slavery in the South, are extremely limited
and that the individuals in this city who an.
recognized :ts abolitionists, are, for the mosl
part, wholly disinclined to any and all meas
tires which may tend to excite or endanger
the South.
Resolved, That we have reason to believe
that there is no abolition press or publication
in this city ; and that no incendiary measures
have been adopted or sanctioned by the friends
of emancipation in this State.
Resolved, That we regard those who, un
der the pretence of putting down Aboli
tion, have violated (he laws, and disturbed tin:
’ peace of the community, as the most efficient
auxiliaries of the cause they affect to oppose
that the young men of Philadelphia, opposed
to the measures of the abolitionists, pledge
themselves, on tho first symptom of di9tur
bauce, to lend their hearty and determined
aid to arrest and secure the legal punishment
of those who degrade their cause by violence
and outrage.
Resolved, That a committee of seven be
appointed, to net ns a committee of correspon-
dcnce, to publish the proceedings of this meet
ing in the papers of this city, and procure
their dissemination in the South.

so that a public and general sentiment may ling subjects of such officious intermeddling,
be demonstrated to exist in the North, adverse
to those destructive projects.
We hold this truth to be indisputable—that
the condition of slavery finds no advocates
among our citizens. Our laws do not auth
orize it, our principles revolt against it, our
citizens will not tolerate its existence among
them. But, although they hold these opin
ions, they will not attempt to coerce their
brethren in other States to conform to them.
They know that slavery, with all its attendant
evils, was entailed upon the South by the
mother country, and so firmly engrafted upon
their social system, that the revolution which
sundered their political ties to Great Britain,
had no effect whatever in loosening those
which bound the slave to his mas'er iu the
colonial state. This condition of things con
tinued and existed at the adoption of the Fed.
eral Constitution. By that sacred compact
which constitutes the American Union one na
tion, the rights and jurisdiction of the South
ern States were recognized and confirmed by
all the rest. The actual state of their social
relations was the basis of that compact, and
we disclaim the right, and disbelieve the poli
cy, and condemn the injustice of all efforts to
impair or disturb solemn obligations, thus
imposed upon their nature and bearing upon
the political systems ; and by an adherence
to which we have together prospered iu peace
and triumphed in war.
Entertaining these views, we solemnly pro-
test against the principles uud couduct of the
few, who in their zeal, would scatter among
our Southern brethren firebrands, arrows and
death. We deplore the illusion of the greutcr
(though we still believe a small) number of
estimable, moral and pious persons, who con
fiding in the purity of their motives, but bliud
to the appalling consequences, uaconsciously
co-operate with them in their attempts to vio
late the sacred faith of treaties and the plain
principles of international law—and above all
we regard, with feelings of indignation and
disgust, the intrusion upon our domestic rela
tions of alien emissaries sustained by the
funds of a foreign people. The national
government has uniformly acted upon the
principle of non-intervention in the domestic
policy of foreign nations, and the people have
imposed restraints upon their sympathies and
feeluigs, which had those only been consulted,
would have led them to compel their govern
deserve and oiicht to receive the reprobation
of every friend of his country.
Resolved, That while we feel the full val
ue of that individual, personal and political
liberty which was purchased by the blood of
our ancestors, and by them transmitted, ns
precious inheritance, to us their children, mid
while we would respect those feelings of phi-
lanthropy and that misguided zeal in the
cause of humanity and benevoleuce, which
we trust first called into existence our nor
thern abolition societies, we do regard them
as mischievous in their practical operation, iu-
jurious to tiie well being of those whose cause
they profess to plead, and tcuding directly to
the dissolution of the Union. And we do
here, in justice to our own feeluigs and princi.
pies, and to our feliuw.citize ns of the South, en
t- r our solemn protest against their intlama.
tory and incendiary proceedings.
Resolved, Thut the practice resorted to by
some of the officers and members ot the abo.
lition societies, of loading the U. S. Mail with
inecudiary pamphlets, newspapers and publi.
cations on the subject of slavery, and attempt
ing through that channel to distribute and cir
culate them among the blacks iu the slave-hol-
ding states, is an ularmiug perversion and
abuse of that invaluable medium of communi
cation between the people of different sections
of our country: as it has an immediate and
direct tendency to lead the people ol the slave
holding stutes to regard the very chaunels of
communications and facilities of intercourse
not as a blessing to be cherished, but evils to
be dreaded, as assailable points of the citadel
open to the attacks of the enemy* and thus to
compel them iu self defence to erect an ef
fectual barrier against all such insidious move
meats, by dissolving the Union.
Resolved, That we view with regret and
alarm all attempts, coming from any quarter
whatever, tending to disturb the peace and
harmony of our common country, and we hold
it to be the duty of every patriot to “ frown
upon the first dawning of every attempt to
alienate any portion of our country from the
rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which oow
liuk together the various parts.”
Resolved, That in common with our fel
low-citizens, as we believe, in every part of
the country, we regard the existence of slave,
ry, wherever it may be found, as a moral and
political evil; and we earnestly hope that the

liberality of our Southern brethren, and belie,
vingthut their practical acquaintance with and
leep interest iu the subject peculiarly quality
them to determine questions arising front it,
we would, without fear or hesitation, commit
it to their wisdom, justice and humanity.
Resolved, That we regard the Union of
this Country as inseparable from its freedom,
greatness and glory; that we consider no
sacrifice too great to maintain it, and shrink,
with horror, from all that is calculated in the
most remote degree to endauger or impair it.
Resolved, That the course of the Abolition-
ists, by exciting the prejudices of the people
of the South against the communities from
which they are assailed, menaces the peace
aud permanence of this Union.
Resolved, That, as the People of the South
alone have the power to emancipato their
slaves, tho irrit-ting policy of the incendia
ries renders that happy result more remote
and difficult of attainment, and rivets, perhaps
forever, those chains which they affect a de
sire to break.
Resolved, That the interference of the Ab-
olitiomsts with the slavery of the South, must
inevitably multiply at once the dangers and
suspicions of the masters, and render neces
sary a heightened degree of vigilance and se.
curity, thus heaping additional restraints upon
the bondman, and increasing the afflictions of
the objects of their misguided efforts.
Resolved, That we regard the dissemina
tion of incendiary publications throughout the
slave-holding Stutes with indignation and hor
ror : thut measures so directly calculated to
involve results at which humanity shudders,
cannot fail to meet the heurty aud indignant
reprobation of the benevolent and patriotic,
uud that efficient, but legal and moderate
measures should be adopted to suppress an
evil at once so dangerous and disgraceful.
Resolved, That the obnoxious measures of
the Abolitionists having produced great aud
general excitement at the North, have alrea
dy disturbed the peace of our cities, and
threaten consequences still more extended
aud deplorable.
Resolved, That the efforts of foreign emis
saries, paid with foreign money, and sent into
the couutry to assail our institutions, malign
our patriots, excite our people, and distract
our country, are regarded by all who cherish
American pride and patriotism, with distrust

paper be at ? While the whole South is up
almost in arms agpinst the intrusion of incen
diary papers within its borders, what is to be
9aid of u paper, which even partially invites,
what the whole South is resolved to prevent
—what the whole. South is calling on the
North to prevent by penal legislation. Can
mischief or madness attain a higher pitch ?
“ Incendiary Tracts.—Wo are decided,
ly of opinion that good would result from the
distribution of some of these incendiary pam
phlets, if confined to the honest and intelligent
white citizens. They will shew to them the
recklessness with which those incendiaries
act, and their fixed determination at any cost
to produce emancipation, even at the expense
of a servile war. Injury can only result when
the tracts and papers fall into the hands of
the slaves and free negroes who can read, or
of those worthless white men whose vittanies
may have prepared them for joining the ne-
groes in any outrage. This number is very
small indeed, in the slave Slates.”—U. 8.

Virgil A. Stewart.—This gentleman
who has so nobly distinguished himself, by
the exposure of the villainous attempt to insti-
gate our slaves to an insurrection, pnid us
visit on Friday last, and returned to Clinton
on Saturday, where a dinner was tendered
him—but we believe he refused to accept of
it. He was offered by the citizens of War
ren county a body guard to uceompnny him
through the State, which he also refused—but
was accompanied by some two or three friends.
He is on his way to Madison county at pres
ent, and his object in thus, traversing our
State i9 to procure all the testimony he cat:
in relation to this important matter. We
hope to have the pleasure of seeing in o abort
time the whole matter exposed to the public.
And if ho does succeed in his glorious under-
taking, (and we believe he will) he will gaii
for himself in the South a name that will live
till time itself shall be no more.—Jackson

The Purchase op Texas.—We men
tioned a few weeks ago, says the Natchez
Colonel Btsuor—This watchful asit
terprising officer has arrested, and turnedm,
to the civil authority, one of the ADAIRS,
a few other Cherokees of the Ross party,
a violation of the la w abolishing the Chaj
kee go. crnnient within the limits of Geer;
We presume they have given bail for their
peurance; nnd there is no reason to
that they will have justice at least, i
courts in which they will be tried; as
courts form a part of Judge Hooper’s cir.
For the aid thus given by Colonel Bl 1
