liings on the subject in Bouton, Portland and Phila

N.iv 1 ork on the 2?tliolt., which wap attended bv
t:om 10 to 12 thousand citizens. On the subject of
theso meetings, the Charleston Courier of the 1st
inat., speaks in the following eloquent manner:
“• Tm: Mektinos.—A noble spirit is pervading and
ar.irn.iting the North. Thu relations of kindred and
country—the obligations of constitutional faith—the

At their dirty werk n»M*?n.
" c understand by a gentleman who went up to
Gainesville some days ago, that the si ago in wliich
l.e was a passenger, was literally freighted from th's
T^ce w ith a dirty hand bill, addressed "to the voters
c: Hall County." Wc have one of the foul sheets
taw before us, and all we can say of it is, that it is
tnorely a repetition, (in language that would bring a
Pash to the checks of a huxter) of all tho foul cal-
tranies that have a thousand times been reiterated
‘gainst Mr. Van B.ircn, Col. Johnson and Judge
Sciilcy, and as often nailed to the counter as base
ton. Wc did expect that the nullification experi-

them that, so far as wo are concerned, it shall no
longer profit them any thing. Wc shall no longer
«ict entirely on tho defensive—we intend to carry the
war into the enemy’s country.
It will be seen that “ Walton” brings up for adju
dication, in his indictment against his ex.lionor, no
less than 9 specific count*, os the lawyers say all of
them of the most serious character, and some 60 glur-
ingly outrageous as to seal his fate before the tribunal
which is to try him on the first Monday in October
next. His charges are not such as have been brought
against Judge Schley; they arc something more than
such vague and unmeaning charges as federalism,
a thing which at the present day is intended to mean
any thing calculated to advance the views or sub
serve the ends of the aspiring demagoguo. Yes, they
aro tangible facts, which come homo to the interests
and the feelings of every freeman. Ncitiier does
our correspondent rest them on rumor or hearsay
testimony, hut points to the day and the year when
Charles Dougherty, Esq. committed against the good
people of Georgia, the political sins and official mis
demeanors, for which he is arraigned at tho bar of
public justice!
For tho establishment of the first charge brought
by “ Walton” against Judge Dougherty, wc refer our
readers to the Journals of the House of Representa
tives of It:21, p.-go 258.
For the second, to the Journals of the same House,

For the seventh, to the people of Clark county,
who havo often, during his judicial administration,
witnessed his electioneering harangues to “ the sov
ereignty.”
Por the eighth, to the people of Clark and the
people of Jackson counties.
And for the ninth, to the people of the Western
Judicial Crcuit, who arc well acquainted with his
principles.
Among these charges ore the following, which wc
shall briefly notice at present—deferring the balance
10 another time.
The sc, oud count in tlo bill of indictment is as
follows, viz: that he, Charles Dougherty, Esq. did,
on the 11th of December, 1829, in the Legislature of
Georgia, advocate and vote in favor of a law PER.
MITT1NG INDIAN TESTIMONY AGAINST
THE FREE WHITE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA
\\ hat think you of this, freemen of Georgia !
Citizens of the Cherokee Circuit and of the counties
bordering on it particularly—are you prepared to
elect a man to tho highest office in your gift, who
would thus have placed your lives, your characters
and your property in the hands, and at the disposal
of, a set of worthless heathens and savages, who know
nothing and care less, about the nature and obliga
tions of an oath ? No ! we think wo hear you res-
pond in the honesty of your hearts, we will have
no such man to rule, and lord it over us !
Again, tho fifth chargo is as follows, viz: that
Judgo Dougherty did, on the first day of December.
1830, in tho legislature of Georgia, vote for a hill
which went to deprive the gold diggers of a draw in
the lottery distributing the gold mines among the free
people of Georgia ! \V ill the people of Georgia con
sent to reward a man with tho highest office in their
gift, for thus attempting to disfranchise a portion of
thoir fellow-citizens of tlieir inherent rights ? And
for what ? Why, simply because they were not dis.
posed to sit idly by and see the treasures of their own
soil taken away by thousands of intruders from oth
er States—by individuals who had not the same right
to it which they had themselves. And 99 out of
a hundred of those citizens, whom Judge Dougher
ty attempted to disfranchise, never realized, by what
he called their intrusion, a cent—but sunk money
by tho experiment !
In 1839 Charles Dougherty, Esq. voted to deprive
1 irgo and respectable portion of the citizens of Geor.
gia of tlieir just rights, and now in 1835, he unblush
ingly comes forward and socks at their hands (by way
°* reward wc presume for bis treachery to them) the
highest office within their gift ! A justcr reward,
however, awaits him. Such a one as a high minded
and intelligent people, jealous of their rights, are in
tho habit of bestowing upon those, who have boon
weighed in the balance and found wanting.
he properly belonged. Judge Schley denies most un
equivocally, having entertained the doctrines of the
federalists even at the time of which we speak. That
he iias nut done so since his entrance into public life,
the people of Georgia very well know.
But his illiberal and unmanly detractors, not sat
isfied with endeavoring to fix tho name of federalism
upon him, would, at least by dark hints and surmi
ses, have the poople believe, that he was a federalist
in the odious acceptation cf tho term—or in other
words, a toiy and a traitor to his country ! Hero it
may bo necessary for us to explain. The name of
federalism derives its odium principally from the
stand taken by that party in the New England States
against the prosecution of the war in 1812. The
federalists in that section of the country were not
only opened to the declaration of war, but after the
country became involved in it, opposed and thwarted
in every possible way its prosecution to an honorable
termination. They even rejoiced in some places at
the victories of the enemy, and mourned over those
achieved by the arms of tlieir own countrymen. This
was the odious federalism spoken of by J udge Schley
in his letter to G. Holscy, Esq.; and truly it deserves
tiie name, for it was no better thau downright tory-
ism. And will the people of Georgia believe that
even the odium of this toryisni is now attempted to
tic fixed upon Judge Schley, not in a tangible form,
but by sly hints and dark inuciido ? If not, why
all tho parade ot certificate:- in ‘lie nullification prints
about Judge Schley's house in Louisville not being
illuminated on one occasion, during rejoicings in that
place, for one of the American victories ? when, if
tome of those very men who sneak their one sided
certificates into tho papers, were called upon to give,
in a court of justice, “ the truth the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth," it is more than probable they
would bo compelled to acknowledge, that the noil-
illumination of his house was owing to the Judge’s
absence from homo, or some other good and sulistun-
ti.il reason. If such a circumstance ever did occur,
Judge Schley assures us it must have l,een owing to
his absence from home, for that, when at home, lie
was always in the habit of joining his fellow-citizens
in their rejoicings for the victories achieved by the
arms of his countrymen. Here wo must leave this
subject f-ir the present. In our next we will take up
the certificates ot the honorable Roger L. Gamble
who his 60 modestly volunteered his ass : staucc
( O' WHILST BEFORE TIIE PEOPLE FOR A
HIGH OIHCE HIMSELF,) in the prosecution of
the foul warfare of slander and abuse, which is now
being waged against Judge Schley. And wo will
show to the satisfaction of every honest man, from
tho acknowledgments and contradictory sentiments
of tiiis would bo Congressman and his tools, that
Judge Schley was exactly NOT what they attempt
to prove him to have been, namely, a federalist in the
obnoxious sense of the term.
.fudge Schley, lloeer L. Gamble, Federal*
ism, Ar.
Before noticing the certificates of Roger L. Gam
ble, Esq. and his tools of Jefferson county, attemp
ting to prove that Judge Schley was a federalist in
1808—9. it may be necessary to revert for a eminent
to the history of those times in order to show, that
the term federalist was then, as now, as much used
for party purposes as for the designation of a body of
individuals who professed identical principles, or who
acted together for the promotion and advancement of
particular views. It is not necessary to go buck to
tho origin of the government—to the convention
which formed the Federal Constitution, and thenco
trace up the origin and the history of the party which
properly boro this name at the time of which We
speak. Suffice it to say, that in 1808, the party
known as the Federal party were in principle liberal
constructionists of tho Constitution—they advocated
a strong government, and contended that the Federal
Government was not only supreme, but could, under
that clause of the Constitution which speaks of « the
general welfare,” do every thing and any thing sho
chose. This was properly the federal party the
party wliich opposed Mr. Jefferson’s and Mr. Madi
son’s administrations—condemning alike tho good
and the bad measures of those administrations, just
us their successors, the modern Whigs, oppose and
denounce the good and the bad of tho presont.
When, however, at the time of which we speak, those
administrations adopted what is known as the restric
tive policy—the embargo and non-intercourse lawi
thousands of as good republicans as any, opposed '.hem
as impolitic and disastrous to the best interests of
the country ; and the consequence was, they, for op
posing those measures, (and without entertaining one
sentiment tn common on constitutional questions
with tho federalists) were identified, at least in name,
with them, by the friends of those measures. Judge
Schley was one of these, and in this way alone he got
the name which is now attempted to be wielded
against him for party purposes.
He had the naroo then fastened upon him, not be.
cause he believed in the consolidation principles of
the federal party, but simply becauso he opposed an
isolated measure or two of the administration to which
Thomas TCitchcit, Esq.
This gentleman wo understand, when among a
certain class of our citizens, is very particular in
having it understood that hb is a State Rights man,
but not a nullifies ; and this too in the face of the
fact that he is or has bocn president of the nullifica
tion club which periodically holds its meetings at
Watkinsvillc. But independently of this, we think
wo can show, to tho satisfaction of every reasonable
man, that his actions in the Legislature prove him
not only to be a State Rights man, but a nullifier of
the Calhoun stamp. It is well recollected, that at
the session of the Legislature of i833, Mr. Chappell
of Monroe, introduced a long string of resolutions
recognizing and supporting the nullification’ doc
trines of South Carolina, namely, absolute State sov
ereignty—the right of a State to nullify any law of
the General Government, &c. <fcc. To these rcsolu
tione Mr. Baxter of Hancock, offered a substitute op
posing those ultra, Calhoun doctrines, which was
carried by a vote of 50 to 32—Major Mitchell voting
in the negative and of course in favor of Chappell'
“ whole hog” resolutions !
But Maj. Mitchell is not only a nullifier, but has
shown by his vote on another question, that he is in
favor of the anti-republican doctrine, that the agent
may appropriate the money ofthe people to their own
use, without rendering any equivalent !
By reference to the Journals of tho Senate for
1831, page 140, it will be seen that a resolution was
introduced into that branch of the General Assembly
by Mr. Swain, prohibiting “ any member of the Gen
eral Assembly in future from drawing any per diem
compensation for any day, or number of days, such
member shall have been absent from the res|>cctivc
branch thereof to which said inentlicr belongs ; in all
cases, except when such absence hath been caused by
sirknesa of said member, or family, or other unavoid
able accident, and of requiring said member to eer
tify the samo to the proper authority,” &c. This
resolution, the object of which was to prevent those
members from fobbing the jieople’s money, who were
half their time absent from their posts, frolicking
and enjoying themselves among their friends, or at
home attending to tlieir business, was ordered to lay
on tho table for the balance of tho session hv a vote
of 51 to 23—THOMAS MITCHELL, Esq*, voting
in the affirmative ! !
William fraud, Esq.
The gentleman, whose name appears at tho head
of this article, has, wo are credibly informed, been
in the h tbit of denying his nullification principles
when it suited his electioneering purposes. In order
that Union men, and others opposed to this iniqui.
lous doctrine, may no longer be deceived as to his
true principles, wo give below his vote on the cele.
bruted attempt of M. A. Cooper, Esq. and others, to
toar from the United States that, without which our
glorious republic would bo neither respected at home
nor feared abroad—we mean its SOVEREIGNTY
By referring to page 7 and 8 of the Journals of the
House of Representatives of 1833, the following un
heard of beforo proceedings will be found :

Here, then, people of Clark, you have presented
before yon the votes of two of your representatives,
George R. Clayton and William Stroud, in favor of
measure intended to sap the very foundation of a
government which cost your forefathers so much toil,
blood and treasure to build up, and under tiie protec
tion of which, you have enjoyed and continued to en
joy , all the blessings of free and independent Ameri
can citizens. At one fell swoop,” these men would
have deprived your nation of that alone which has
made it the pride of tho free, and a terror to des-
pots throughout the world—its power to govern its
citizens and to protect their rights against foreign
aggression. Without the attribute of SOVEREIGN.
TY it could do neither!
That William Stroud, Esq. is a nullifier of the S.
Carolina school, we havo shown above. We will
now prove that on another question he voted in the
Legislature to retain in his own hands, as one of the
Judges of the Inferior Court of Clark county, thut
power which rightfully belongs to the people. By
reference to the Journals of the Houso of Represen
tatives for 1833, page 238, it will be seen, that a bill
wa6 introduced for the purpose of altering the sixth
section of the 3d Article ofthe Constitution of this
State, 60 as to give the elections of Clerks of tho
Court of Ordinary to tho people. Which was lost
for the want of a constitutional majority ; yeas 84,

est rights.
1st. For 'hat, on the fourteenth day of

House of Representatives, voted against and
opposed a resolution ofthe 11. R , requesting
our representatives m Congress, «* that in the
event of the election of President going to the
House of Representatives, and it appearing
that Mr. Crawford could uot succeed to the
Presidency, to give tin ir votes to General A.
Jackson, he being the second choice of the
people of Georgia.”
2nd. W e charge and accuse him, the said
Charles, with having, (on the 11th day of Do-
comber, 1829,) advocated and voted :u favor
of a law allowing the admission of Indian tes
timony in Courts of justice, against the free
white citizens of this State, thereby prostra
ting the lives, liberty and property of the
whites, to the mercy of au enraged, cruel aud
savage people, to the great damage of this com
munity.
3d. Aud also, on the 12th day of said month,
with attempting to deprive u portion of his
fellow members, of tht ir constitutional right
of entering their protest agaiust the abomina
ble act.
4lh. VYe charge him with giving his assent
to a resolution of the House of Representa
tives, (0:1 the 18lh December, 1829,) instruct
ing “our Senators and Representatives in Con
gress to use their best eliurts to prevent the
reciiarterof the U. S. Bank,” and afterwards
condemning them for doing so.
5th. We charge him, the said Charles,
with voting, on the tirst day ot December,
1831), in favor of a law to deprive all persons
wito had du^ for gold, silver, &c. on the
Cherokee Territory, of a draw tn the lottery
for tiie same, to the great damage of the in
herent riatrts of many good citizens.
lit 11. We further charge and accuse him,
the said Charles, with having attempted to
eoinprotnit our State rights, aud impair the
sovereignty of the people. For that, on the
tirst day of Dec. 1830, in the town of Mil-
ledgeville, not having the interest of the peo
ple before his eyes, aud being instigated
political, (or some other motive unknown to
us,) gave his support and influence—voting
in favor of the tbllowing ameudmeut to the
laud hill, to wit:
“ That nothing in this act shall be so con
strued as to authorize the Governor to or
der out the Surveyors to proceed with the
survey as contemplated by this act, until lie
shall be satisfactorily informed by the Presi
dent ofthe United States, that the public force
of the United States will not be employed to
prevent the survey and ocupancy.” (A'o re
sistance at all hazards here, Out a Uttir too much
Federalism.)
7th. We charge him with letting down the
dignity of the Judiciary, while acting as one

king what is called stump speeches, and hur-
ouguiug tiie people on political subjects, con-
trary to the peace, good order and dignity
thereof.

charge and accuse him, the said Charles,
with being a nullifier.

PRESENTMENTS
Of the Grand Jury of Walton County, August
Term, 1835.
I AHE Grand Jury,chosen, selected and sworn, for
- the county of Walton, at August Term, 1835,
havo had under tlieir consideration, the subject given
in charge by his Hon. Judge Harris, at the opening
of tiie present Tor.n, iu relation to tiie establishment
of a Supreme Court for the Correction of Errors.
While we fully concur in opinion witli tho Court on
the subject, we cannot now enter iuto all tho argu
ments which might be advanced in favor of the es-
tablishiueut of such a Court, nor answer the objec
tions heretofore made against it; our experience and
observation have satisfied us, that tho Judiciary of
Georgia is not only defection, but is uncertain aud
unsettled, under our preseut system. We have a
contrariety aud diversity of adjudication# in almost
every Judicial Circuit in tho State, which, in our
opiuiou, affords a great and fruitful source of litiga
tion iu lire diilersnt Circuits—for what is declared to
be law by the Judge of one Circuit, is re verse J iu an
other ; thus endangering the peace and prosperity of
all good citizens, and places the tenure by which wo
bold our lives, liberty and characters, entirely upon
an uncertainty. This perplexing and diversified admin
istration of tire law, should be settled aud fixed upon
a basis which would enable every citizen to know
what tho law is, and we know of uo belter or safer
correcti'Si of this evil, thau the establishment of a
Supreme Court for the Correction of Errors. Thi#
w ould make the decisions of our Courts throughout
the State uniform, and what is law in one Circuit,
would lie the law in all, so that every individual in our
community, might know iu what manner his dearest
rights are held. We should, therefore, so far as we
ore concerned, lie pleased to sec our Seualor and Rep
resentatives give their support in favor of tho propo
sed alteration of the Constitution to that effect, at
the next session of the Legislature.
The course adopted by the Inferior Court to cn.
force tiie road laws in our county, meets our decided
approbation, and we recommend them to persevere
in requiring the commissioners and overseers of the
putdic roads to discharge their duty in terms of
the law.
We should have been pleased to have closed this
prcscutiiisut, without adverting to any of the local
grievances so often complained of by Grand J.irios,
but a sense of duty which wc owe to the community,
impels us to present an a grievance of no ordinary
magnitude, the almost entire neglect of the Patrol
Laws. We are perfectly at • loss to conceive
how the magistrates, under the oath which they
have taken, cun wholly neglect so important a part
of their duty. We would therefore resjiectfully re
commend the magistrates in the different districts,
rigidly to enforce the patrol laws. We would also
recommend the citizens of Monroe to enforce the
corporate laws of the town. And we advise all
good citizens to discountenance the practice which
bus become too prevalent among the keepers of tip.
ling shops in the unlawful trading with slaves, par
ticularly of nights. Sabbath days. &c. We consider
the law6 on this subject tufficiently tight, when rigid,
ly enforced, and the times and circumstances require
that it should be done. We view ns a great public griev.
ance, the trading or victualing establishments kept
by people of color in this village, and recommend to
the citizens, or some one of them, to enforce the law
in relation to people of color on that subject.
The dignified and impartial manner with which
his Honor Judge Harris has presided over the Court
during tho present twin, meets our unanimous ap.
probation. We also approve of the politeness and at.
tention paid this body by the Solicitor General, Jn.
nius Ilillyer, and the ottention and ability with which
he has discharged the duties of tiis office.
Wc recommend that so much of our presentments
as arc of a public nature, be published in the South,
cm Banner.
