country ? Who that recollects the election of
1.825, and the means by whicl* John Quincy
Adams was elected against the will of the-peo-
pie, will be the instrument of leading his coun
try to a similar hazurd ? }
These are considerations of the highest mo.
ment, and should address themselves to the
cool dispassionate judgement of .every Amer-.
ican citizen. In the choice of a Chief Mag.
istrate of this greut confederacy, ^the passions
of men should be, subdued—their prejudices
should be overcome. Reason, and reason
alone should be their guide, and no one should
adopt a course jn the slightest degree ealeu
lated to defeat the will of the people, or tp
weaken the power of the ballot box. In such
a spirit they will always be right, and tinder
its influence, the institutions of our country
will be safe.
But there is yet another view of this sub.
ject, which presetits itself with peculiar force.
(s any mao worthy 'of the public confidence,
who is seeking to obtain the highest office in
our gift against the will of the people ? Who
with a knowledge that he stands in a lean mi-
nority, is planning and contriving to obtain his
ends by trick and turn over, with the public
disapprobation staring him in the face ? In
fine, is any man worthy of being made Presi-
dent of the United States, who would ask it or
receive it upon any other condition than the
free suffrage of his. fellow citizens ? If there
are such, it would be a mockery to call them
republicans for they have abandoned the faith.
If this position be true, and who will dispute
it, how stands the case then- with Messrs.
Webster, Harrison and White, and where is
the man, however enthusiastic, who believes
that either of them is the choice of the people,
or that there is the remotest prospect, that
either can obtain a majority of votes at the
coming election 1 Does Mr. W ebster believe
that he will be elected by the people? No.
Doek General.' Harrison ? No. Does Judge.
White ? No; for even if he gets every elec
tojul vote, in every State, where he has friends
eno.ugh to run j ticket in his favor, he will foil
far, far short of success, and so with Webster
and Harrison, which conclusively proves, that
they are not only willing, but madly bent on
their- own promotion in defiance of public
opinion. ' >
Let those who regard the institutions of their
country—who consider the right of suffrage
as the foundation of liberty—those stprn dem
ocrats who hold it to be a fundamental and vi
tal principle that the majority shall -govern
and'that no man shall rule against their will
consider these things, and when they have
done so, to put this plain question to their
hearts and their consciences—can Daniel
Webster, William Henry Harrison, or Hugh
L. White, be elected to the Presidency by the
popular vote of the Union? aud if either
should succeed, whether he will not owe his
elevation to the same sort of bargain, intrigue
and management, which elected John Quincy
Adams? • ,
VVe havo no-idea of men’s worming them,
selves into office, by “ nigh ways and by.
ways,” and we repeat, the man who would
consent to obtain office against the will of the
people, is unworthy of their confidence, and
ought not to be trusted.

OUR CONGRESSIONAL TICKET.
We announced in oQr last, the Congres
sional Ticket of the Union party.
It is composed of the late delegation en-
tire, and comes recommended With increas
ed favor and confidence, from the active and
able manner in which they have discharged
tHeir public duties.
• They have proved themselves good men
and true, and especially on all subjects di
rectly involving the interests-of Georgia, they
have displayed an energy arid devotion which
nothing could surpass.
Dijrmg the late session, the Cherokee
Treaty has been ratified, and. ample appro
priations made to cafry its provisions into ef.
feet, although opposed by«-Whigs of all sorts
and sizes—Webster, Clay, Calhoun, John
Qmricy Adairis, -Wise, “ id et.pmnc genus.”
Liberal appropriations have also been made
for meeting the expenses of Indian wars, and
for removing the savages beyond the Missis,
sippi, and we may now look with confidence
to a 'day, not far distant, when the savage yell
will be no more heard upon our border. '
They stand before the country as men who
have been tried and not found wanting, and
will receive the undivided support of the
UNION Party.
Let'it be remembered, that the first -Mon-
day in October will, soon arrive, and we
should be up and doing.—Standard of Union.

“ Philo Spurzheim” should recollect that
the Science of Phrenology is not yet fully hr-
derstood, nor its correctness generally ad

therefore, he should furnish the arguments
which may be adduced in its fuvor, instead
of calling for objections.

in the* fire, is announced as a candidate for
Elector by the republicans of North Caroli

of Martin Van Buren.
The friendship of such a man to the great

served with him for' many years in the Sen

THE ELECTION.
In a very few weeks the citizens of Gcor.
gia will be called upon to exercise the glori
ous privilege of freemen, in tho selection of
legislators, both State and Federal, to cnacl
laws" for their government and to watch over
their interest, This privilege, at all times
important, is at this period, from the peculiar
aspect pf -our affairs, of. even more than its
usual conseqriencc. In our national councils,
several questions are to be agitated of th>
greatestjoterest to the country—particularly
to the isouth. One of them is, whether the
people shut! be burthened with a tariff to an
extent not demanded by the wants of thei
Government, and for-no other purpose thin
to create a surplus to be distributed among
the States, there to furnish n bone of conten
tion for every aspiring demagogue to (maw at.
We arc to decide whether we are willing to
continue paying out our money in the form of
duties to protect manufacturers, for the poo:
privilege ot seeing u small portion of it return

tariff shall be at onco reduced to the wants
of the General Government. The opposf

it becomes every true Union man to take>
firm and decided stand, to be active in tb:
vindication of his principles, and in the sup
port of men who entertain and will act up 03
those principles.
Two tickets* for Representatives in G° n *
gress are now before the people of Georgia-
one composed of men friendly to the admin
istration of our illustrious President, oppos^
to raising a distribution fund by taxing d#
people, aud in favor of choosing as our Chid
Magistrate, the individual who stands pled

than toiies, in favor of continuing the prei
high rate of duties, and supporting for Pf e: '

blow upon the principles and prospects of tf-
Union party. And they support this cand>‘
dale, not because they respect his talents c :
approve his doctrines, but for the selfish nr- 1
unprincipled object of gaining a party ascef
dancy in . this State, by the aid of a lew t 6 *
