Mil. CALHOUN'S LETTER.
We regret that its great length, and the press
of matter on hand, has hitherto prevented the
publication, incur columns, of the invaluable
Letter of Mr. Calhoun to Gov. Hamilton,
which lately appeared in the Pendleton Messen
ger. It is undoubtedly the greatest and most
inestirnab e public document that has ever ap
peared in this country, from any pen, and if
generally read, as we presume it will bo, will
' soon settle and establish the principle of
1 Nullification; and, by placing it upon a basis,
firm and imperishable, forever preserve and
perpetuate the Union of the States. It says, in
. every sentence, “ The Federal Union must be
preserved and shews how alone it can be
f preserved, and rendered strong as adamant, and
‘ permaitent as the everlasting hills The true
principles of our beautiful and inestimable Fede
ral system—still more beautiful and inestimable
at it is better understood—intricate and com
plex as it has seemed to many—lut indifferently
understood even by the li.st statesmen of our
|
s country, whose commentaries, mostly, have ser
. ved to confound, perplex, and confuse, rather
than to settle and determine-—and a source of
f continual discussion and contention-are laid
open by this magnificent exposition, cotn
" plelely before the eye, stripped of all their
•complex delusion, and rcndcied as plain
and cotnpi cbcnshlo as the simplest arithmoli
(• cal calculation. And that “Gordian I;not"
c of State Rights, which lias puzzled and
> peiplexed the most astute of our politicians, and
i, raised tint general cry that it can only be solv
«d by being “cut with the sword,” is here untied
1 and spread before us, by Mr. Calhoun, “familiar
las his garter.”—Let those who think \vw say
~ 100 much of this inestimable document—devel
oping as it does, in at! its parts, the workings of
I a mighty mind—lay aside,for ooeo.all prejudice,
f and judge of it as inis, wholly regardless of the
source trom whence it emanated—and we doubt
1 much if they can resist the opinions we have
c* . 1

s WELL DONK, OOLETIIOKPE !
. The ardent and patriotic devotion to I’rinri
i, ]>lts, regardless of Men, which so strikingly dis
s linguishes the people of Oglethorpe county, is
worthy of all admiration —woithy of the distin
t‘ guisiicd name they bear, as a county —of him
* who was the glorious founder of their Stale:
And equally worthy are they, to he the founders
e of its future principles, toward which they have
probably done hum c, so far, than any oilier pul -
i' lion nt its population. Their admirable course,
at their great Meeting, in August last, in aban
doning old parly distinctions, and cordially invi
ting their old party opponents to unite with
them in the promotion of great principles and
■ the common good of the Slate, was noticed by
us at tire time ; ami their conduct in regard to
i- -the late election, strJkingly munifcsis tlnitit was
“no mere transient flash of fugitive passion,”
n hut a settled, devoted principle, interwoven
with their very existence, and permanent as life,
The Claik uiuii in that county are, and always
have been, decidedly in the minority ; but, vet,
= considering them equally interested in the pro
s’ sent great question of Slate Rights, they volun
tarily and freely placed their names on the sev
eral Committees at (lie Meeting, and gave them
every opportunity of emerging from their puliti.
cal weakness as a party, and enjoying equal
privileges in the county. And, in the lute
canvass, agreeably to the wishes of his Clark
blends, tlicy_ put up the name of Col. Thomas,
a Clark man undplecidod nullifier, with Messrs.
Bit i-urs and Git tar n, as their Ticket for the
Convention. 'lho parties ihus progressed bar
b monimndy together, till the Claik men began to
draw off, influenced, as is supposed, by the Fed
eral Uuion, ami getting their cue probably from
some of its junto ; and, believing, too, that with
the aid of Judge Crawford and some others of
the disaffected Troup men, they could revolu
, lionize the politics of the county, and put down
those who had but lately so generously raised
them from their political insignificance to cordi
al and equal fellowship—and, taking courage,
too, from the late movements elsewhere,
against -Nullification—they boldly hoisted the
standard of opposition, ami commenced tho
war-cj ins of Nullification, Disunion, Revelation,
Bloodshed, and Civil War! One of their
first movements, was a party Meeting in Lex
- ington, about three or four weeks ago, at which
they nominated Judge Win. H. Crawford as lhei r
t Anti nullifi ration c andidate for the Convention, &
Gko. W. Dudley, Esq. an A'iorncy, and son-in
law of Judge Crawford, as their Anti-nullifica
tion candidate for the Legislature— pitting the
latter, us it was understood, against Col. Geo
11. Young, the only an open and avowed Nit Hi-
Jiiiy, on the other side.
Tlie ohi personal and party frien.ls of Judge
Crawford, could not believe that be would per
mit bis old ami decided enemies of tho Claik
party, to use his name against them, ami there
fm o, made no opposition against tho nomination,
till the Friday before the Election, when, no
objection having been made by him, they Pecan
to fear that his violent enmity to Mr. Calhoun
and Nullification, had triumphed over all other
considerations and ; not Wishing to become os
banged bom him, or to remain longer under any
doubt, they called on him, to induce him to take
down his name , and wholly failed. Learning'
100. from Col, Thomas, that tho Claik men
if would all vole for Judge C. and not for him ; and
I- presuming,under those circumstances, that many
. of tho old Crawford men might not be willing to
vote for him against Judge Crawford, his name
f was taken down, on the morning of the Election,
i- at his own wish; and that of that vonerablc,
consistent, and sterling patriot and republican,
5 Judge Moore, was put up in its stead. Who
!• that knows Judge Moore, and bis sincere regard
" for Judge Crawford, and the close intimacy and
j strong bosom friendship, that has so long existed
. between them—,and at tho same time his great
- popularity, and yet, absolute refusal of office-.
