MAGIC OF OFFICE.
The Union prints, since Kendall’s transla
tion to the Cabinet proper, have all at once
found out that he has been a much injured and
persecuted man. This opinion of theirs, if not
decidedly frank, will at least be franked by Amos,
and that will answer the same purpose. In the
manner, if not in the spirit of Benedict, they no
doubt thought, when they considered that Amos
was not an honest man, that he would not live
to be one.

We would rather, of the two, be applauded for

sinuate it I And if there be any “crow" who has
haply “listened to the praises of the fox,” it
roust be the one that sold him his party for the
promise of the cheese, and yet “ lost the cheese”
notwitstanding. Or, mayhap, it is the fox, him
self, who, having “ lost” his own tail in a trap,
is desirous of introducing short tails among his
companions, Poor fellow I being unable to re
tail without a license, he is inclined to dispose of
the entire “ brush” by wholesale.

1
, ANTICIPATED NOMINATION.
r Extract of a letter from a respected friend, dated
May 14th, 1835.
f 41 1 am convinced that there is a strong feeling
■ for Gilmer, and that there will be strong efforts
j made to bring him before the people as a candi
date for Governor. For myself, I cannot vote for
i him; and, after the Columbia resolutions, I can
not see what hope can be entertained that he will
receive the support of that county. The resolu
tions were doubtless introduced to prevent his
nomination by the convention.—l was told yester
day, that he would not accept a nomination from
the State Rights convention, and the reason given
was that he did not belong to our party. That
he does not concur in the resolutions, “to their
fullest extent,” as set forth by the State Rights
party, in November, 1833,1 am willing to believe;
but whether or not he wishes to be identified with
the State Rights party, I am not prepared to say ;
though I know he will not be acceptable to many
of them as a candidate for Governor.”
THE UNION CONVENTION.
We have good reasons for believing, that one
of the principal objects of this convention, is to
nominate, in the place of the gentleman whom
the Union party have already presented before
the public (as we believe to decoy the State Rights
party,) some other candidate for the office of Gov
ernor. Among the numerous old-school fede
ralists who grace their ranks, there is not one
more vulnerable, or obnoxious to the political
censure of the true republicans of Georgia, than his
Honor, Judge Schlet. This is well known by
the party to which he is attached ; and ho has,
consequently, been thrown forward as a feeler or
decoy. One of the most distinguished and in
fluential leaders of that party, lately observed,
that 44 Judge Schley could beat the State Rights
candidate 5,000 votes; but Mr. could
beat by 10,000.” Here is an admission, that
Judge Schley is not their strongest man ; and this,
with other evidence before us, has induced the
conclusion, that it is not their intention to give
him their ultimate support: for, it would be un
reasonable to suppose, that they would prefer the
weaker, to the one they consider the stronger
candidate; particularly in a contest for the first
office in the State—a contest in which they will
undoubtedly put forth all their strength.
Wo were astonished at the nomination of
Judge Schlet, as it is the most desirable one of
all others to us, and most likely to distract their
own party; for, as we remarked in publishing it,
44 it must be a bitter pill to the Troup Union
men.” How it was made, too, was incomprehcn.
sible, and unexplained ; and the omission to nom
inate a candidate for Congress, was equally
strange and unaccountable—yet not more so than
the reason given for that omission, that the choice
of the party had not yet been sufficiently expres
cd and developed—shewing that some future
means of ascertaining it (and probably the very
Convention now called,) was even then contem
plated. And certainly the dcvclopements of
preference in favor of an individual for Congress t
were much stronger and more general, than in
favor of Judge Schley for Governor ; for almost
every Union print had openly declared, or indi
rectly indicated, a preference of Mr. Jackson,
for Congress, while not one, we believe, (and
barely some one or two correspondents,) had no
minated Judge Schley for Governor, or indicated
any preference for him. The developcmcnts
were far stronger in favor of several others than
him; and not one was spoken of that did not
seem more acceptable. All these things, taken
together, struck us as peculiarly strange ; but the
recent call of their Union Convention, at a time
shortly after ours, accounts for them all, to on r
mind, and shews that the nomination of Judge
Schley was a mere ruse, to mislead our party,
with a view of changing their candidate, after
wc had nominated one, wholly with reference
to him. The course of our party, in fixing so
strongly on an anti-nullificr, as their candidate, for
the purpose of conciliating the votes of those
Troup Union men who are opposed to Schley—
yea, the willingness with which even many of the
nullifiers have conceded their opposition to such
a nomination, on that account —shews how ex
ceedingly the cunning trick has succeeded, so far-
And, no sooner will they have completely awal
ed the bait, than they will feel the hook attached
r to it, and find themselves lifted completely 44 out
of water.” Judge Schley will easily find some
protext to decline an acceptance of the nomina
tion, (which, bo it remembered, has not yet been
- accepted,) and the convention will nominate
some one in his place aatisfaclory to the Troup
■ Union men; and also Mr. Jackaon for Congress,
who, we understand, has for some lime past con
sidered himself the choice of the party ; or, at
east, has unhesitatingly declared himself a can
didate on several occasions. Now, we wonder
i if the State Rights men will suffer themselves to
be any longer made mere gudgeons of, by their
, opponents, in the face of these things. If they do,
. they deserve, like gudgeons, to be caught —and
1 will be! What is their only security! Their
’ principles ! Let them be true to their principles,
( and come what will, He who is the great Author
( of principle, wilt never 44 leave them naked and
ashamed to their enemies.”
The late movements of the Union prints indi
> cate a new and more vigorous organization of
5 their party ; and, to accomplish this more effec
-1 tuully, we attribute the honor of the present visit
■ of that accomplished tactician, the Hon. United
f States Secretary of Stale. It behoves, then, the
' State Rights party, and particularly its approach
! ing convention, to be on the alert, and act cau
• tiously, yet vigorously and unitedly, in support
-1 ing the fundamental piinciplea of its institution.
It is ail important that we ehouid present to our
’ opponents, a bold, commanding, and undivided
• front. To effect this, we muel banish from our
1 counsels the slightest spirit of exclusion, and re-
I ligiously adhere to those Inestimable doctrines
we have adopted, as the disciples of the illus
trious Jefferson, and which firm the only broad
and distinctive line of demarcation between the
• Stale Rights and Union parties. This, it seems
to us, is the plain path of duty—and, if it is bo
■ nestly, unwaveringly, and energetically pursued,
1 we would hazard every thing we hold dear and
’ valuable, that it will, it must, lead us on, “ con
quering and to conquer,” until victory crowns our
banner, and rewards her followers for their unti
' ring and uncompromising devotion to principle.
1 PROM THE SENTINEL.
44 We have seen of late, with regret, symptoms
i of a split in the State Rights Party of Georgia.
; —We have heard strong objections urged by
some of the Nullifiers of the State, to supporting
Mr. Wilde or Mr. Gilmer, should cither of
these gentlemen he put in nomination for the Ex
-1 ccutive Chair; and equally strong objections
; raised by the Anti-nullifying State Rights men,
to every Nullifier who has been suggested as a
suitable candidate for that office. Wo believe
that the delegates to the Convention in Milledga
vilio ought to make their nominations with an
eye to the reconciliation of these conflicting senti
ments. There are two appointments to be filled
—one for the Government of the State, the other
i for Congress. Why might not a Nullifier of
' probity and talents bo selected for the one, and an
Anli-Nullificr of the State Rights Party, tor the
i other 1 Under such circumstances, could cither
, party, With any grace, refuse to support the no
mination 1 But suppose that the Convention
' should put no Nullifier in nomination—Suppose
■ that they nominate Mr. Gilmer for one office, and
. Mr. Wilde for the other, how should the Nullifiers
. act ! Wc answer, (contraiy to out first impres
j sions, but with all the confidence which mature
deliberation can inspire) support them both warm •
s ly. If after this, their friends should refuse to
, nomina'c a Nullifier fir a vacant office, or to sup
port him when nominated, the course of the Nu -
’ lifiers will he a pi lin one. It is to a ithdraw
r themselves fro n the Slate Rights Parly—to
. raise the Nullifier,’standard, and with it stand
or fall. Their apology for this course will tie un
’ answerable. The Maine of the split, cannot be
’ laid at tiicir door. Hut we do earnestly hope,
I that until they shall have ( laced themselves in an
t attitude which will entirely relieve them from the
censure which will be justly imputable to those
’ who produce a division in the tanks of the Stale
1 Rights parly, that they »i!| not withhold their
i cord al support from any, and ever, man, of that
party, who may lie pul in nomination for i (fice.
Wc believe that the points of difierence between
tlie two arc of too little consequence to Justify a
division among them. Weclaim fellowship with
ail men who recognize the right of a State to judge
of infractions of the Constitution, and to adopt its
own moJc and measure of redress ; but if these
men cannot have fellowship with us because wc
think a particular mode the best, why then a
hearty farewell to them !”
Wc dissent from the Sentinel. Our principles
, must cither be sustained or abandoned. On
i matters of secondary consideration, we have no
. objection- to the exercise of a compromising spi
. rit, when concert of action requires it; but wc
cannot consent to chaffer away our principles,
i They must either be good or bad. If good, wc
i should adhere to them, inviolably—if bad, we
should renounce them, unconditionally. The
- Sentinel does not cover the whole ground in view
of its subject. There may be candidates nomi
. ated wdio will deny the right of nullification aito
■ gether. Would the Sentinel support such nomi
nation! Could it do so consistently ! We an
swer for it, no. We do not regard the modus
operandi of nullification, as the touchstone of our
, faith. It is enough for us, that the right of a
State to exercise it, is conceded. The Sentinel
itself seems to apprehend that there is something
wrong going on, and that there is a spirit of exclu
sion abroad. If not, why the distinction of “ nulli
fiers” and “ anti-nuliifiers,” We view every
member of the State Rights parly, who acts up
to its declarations, openly and publicly avowed,
as essentially a nullifier.
We dissent also from the Sentinel, as regards
the subordinate rank in which it would place the
4 nullifiers,” as they arc contradistinguished.
They have equal rights and privileges, and are as
much entitled to the favor of the party as others
They will not consent t» be the first to yield those
rights and privileges to the exclusive control of
those who do not think with them. If they yield
, them in one instance, a similar sacrifice will be
required in another; for a spirit of exaction is
never very modest or moderate in its require
ments. The most effectual way to encounter
them, is to oppose them at the onset—and this
the nullifiers will do, if they are as patriotically
, devoted to their principles as wo suppose they
arc.
Tho Sentinel says, in another article, to the
nullifiers, 41 We beseech them not to be the first
to make a breach m the State Rights party.” If a
. breach should be made, it will not be the work of
i the nuilifieri. It will be made through those acts
i of exclusion and undue preference, against which
> they are determined, uncompromisingly, to set
. their faces. They estimate too highly themselves
and their principles, to suffer them to be used as
, mere make-weights. They were not “the first” to
. commence this contest; nor did they even move a
r stop, or utter a word, in self defence, till the “anti
, nullifiers” had actually driven the nullification
r candidate from the field. Nor is .hie the first est
, fort of the kind! And why should the nullifiers
1 consent to support on anti-nullification candidate
r now, after refusing to do so in the former instance,
till he openly avowed their principles! Is it ex
’ pected that they have changed, since then! And
1 would not a contradictory course of action now, be
an acknowledgement that they were wrong before!
• Are they thus prepared to condemn themselves,
f and “ blow hot and cold with the seme mouth"!
- How can the Clark nullifiers, who quilted their
t former party, because it oppoeed nullification, sup
-1 port another, in its opposition to nullification! And
s is it expected of them that they shell win the con
• fidence of their new allies by rendering themselves
- wholly unworthy of confidence t The nullifiers
• ask no more of ahy member of the party, than
. that he shall support the principles of the party,
• as avowed to the World. But, say tho ami-nullifi-
I era, whenever you mention this, wo cannot sup- i
r 1 port Carolina nullification ! Who asks them !
■ . And why ehouid they mention this, but to excite
i 1 prejudice, or evade the true question ! The pub- ]
• I lished creed of the party is founded on the Virginia
I and Kentucky Resolutions, as incorporated thefa
j in. The nullification they contend fur, is simply
i the right of a State to 44 judge of infractions of thd
. constitution, and the mode and measure of re
, dress”; and no nullification can go farther than
I this—no real Slate Rights doctrines stop short of
. it. As to what shall be the made of nullification,
■ that is altogether another matter, and one about
. which we could differ front no man till the time
for action arrived ; and then it must be decided'
not by individuals, but by the ,Stale; and when
tho State decides, all such differences, on matters
i of mere expediency, must bo yielded. As to Ca
■ rolina nullification—that is, the mode of it, for the
principles of nullification are alike everywhere—it
r may never be exercised again, even by Carolina
. herself, since the mode must always depend upon
1 circumstances—the nature of tho law to be nullifi
-1 ed, and the means used to enforce it. But if
, Georgia has a right to decide, surely Carolina
- had; and ail wo ask, or ever have asked, for her,
is the right we claim for ourselves, to judge
j and decide fur herself. Carolina nullification
. has nothing to do with the question, and we
F defy any man to shew that it has. And at the
same time, we challenge any man tv shew that he
,is a “State Rights man,’"at all, unless he acknow
ledges the right of a State to “judge of infractions |
of the constitution, and the mode and measure of j
| redress”—and if lie does, he is as much a nullifier j
| as we are; for that is the whole sum and substance -
of the principles of nullification. The difficulty '
! is, however, that tho “no nullifiers” are no “State j
■ Rights men,” ci'her, as we are prepared to shew,
whenever they shall think proper to put us to the
, ptoof. They talk about State Rights very prelti
■ ly; and as strongly too as a nullifier, till they are
J pressed to the point; an 1 then, their unifum de
claration. that 44 a State, while in the Union, has
i» no right to i esi t a law of the Union, passed ac
', ® ’ r <ling to the forms of the constitution,” (and
1 every law, however unconstitutional, is passed
• I* I *
according to the forms of the oonsii'ulion ) strips
. the Stale of every possible remedy whatever, and
r of course every right, for t tero can lie no right.
■ without a remedy.
As to the nomination of “a nullifier for the nne i
(office) and an anti-nullifier to the other,” as sug
gested by the Sentinel, wc have no objection, pro
vided the nullifier he nominated for Governor; for,
' as we have repeatedly said, we care little who is
, nominated for Congress, as tiling; now stand, and
i would not oppose any probable nomination for
that office. But we could not countenance the
’ nomination of any man for Governor, to represent
1 tlie sovereignty of the Slate, who believes in a
1 divided sovereignty, (which is no sovereignly at
all,) and opposes those principles which we con
’ sider absolutely necessary to the existence and
’ preservation of ail State Rights, and popular li
-1 berties.
The nullifiers have never been disposed to be
exclusive, where their principles would allow them
to be otherwise ; and wo speak advisedly and re
flcclingly when we say, that wherever they have
been so, it was suggested, in self-defence, by the
unprovoked exclusiveness of the antics, who have
been untiring in their efforts to control us. Why,
then, talk to tlie nullifiers, only, about exclusive
ness ! If the Sentinel wishes to prevent a “split,”
I let it urge the antics to abandon their exclusive
ness.
Again : says the Sentinel, 44 For ourselves,
we cannot disclaim every man who does not sub
scribe to all the details of the resolutions of the
12th November. If (he great lending principles
of those resolutions are admitted—the right of a
State to judge, and to act upon its judgment—
why wrangle about tlie best mode of acting when
the time for action arrives."—These arc our own
sentiments—for neither can we 44 disclaim every
man who does not subscribe to ail the details of
the resolutions of the 12th November." Let
the nominei s recognize the great leading princi
, pics of those resolutions, and it is all tlie nulificrs
require—they will then go with them heart and
hand. Wc repeat, that the modus operandi of nul
lification is not regarded by us as the touchstone
of our faith. It is enough for us, that the right
of a State to exercise it, is acknowledged and sus
tained. Wc shall refer to this sul ject again.

We are indebted toCapt. Merchant, of the ship
Citizen, for Paris papers to the evening of April
llth, Havre t> the evening of the 13th, the only
papers on board. Also a letter of tha 13th.
It will be seen from the proceedings of the
Chamber of Deputies, that M. Bignon, mi the
10th, moved on amendment appropriating 12,-
000,090 fiancs towards tho payment of our claims,
leaving the rest for furtiie negotiations.
44 Havre, April 13, 1835.
44 Capt. Merchant, Sir;
I hail an interview with the Editor of tho Ha
vre piper this morning, tie says the impression is
that tho bill lor granting the five million dollars
, will pass the Deputies by a majority of 50, net
i withstanding tho amendment proposed by Mr.
. ( Bignon to vote twelve millions of francs and to
I negotiate for tho rest. You cannot have a Gal
lignani per e rtafette to-day, none being printed in
Paris yesterday, (Sunday.")
Admiral de Rigny was confined to his room by
indisposition.
Generals Soubietto and O'Leary had arrived at
Madrid from the Republics of Venezuela and Now
Granada, to nogociate for the acknowledgment of
South American Independence by Spain. They
appear to have been kindly received.
There has heen a disturbance in Malaga ; but
it terminated without detriment lo the Queen’s
authority.
Paris, Abril llth.—Yesterday evening at 6
o'clock, a telegraphic dispatch was received an
nouncing tlie safe delivery of the Queen of tiie
Belgians nfa Prince, and that she was doing well.
From the private correspondence of the Journal
da Havre.
The discussion of t in twenty-five millions in
demnity made considerable progress in the last
session. M. Bignon. in proposing to grant to gov
ernment twelve bullions to enable it to open new
negotiations, lias placed (lie ipie tion on all ex
cellent basis; it is at once rescuing the dignity
and ability of France to discharge its engage
ments. 'l'lie amendment of M. Iliguou will he
warmly supported. If the question had remain
ed on the rejection of tins law, perhaps the Minis
try might itas’c calculated on a majority of twenty
votes. But now their majority is very doubtful.
For many of tho Deputies who would not have
been guilty of an net of injustice in totally deny
ing the do.’t, will sco no impropriety in paying
only what wc really owe.
none to the Lfe !—Dcwit Clinton, who was
gifted with Ihc Junian point, as well as the stales
man-like abilities, once drew little Van’s diameter
in the following words :—“A political Grimalkin
—purring over petty schemes—and mousing over
sinister designs—without dignity of mind, or ele
vation of character.”
This was said some twenty years ago! Time
has confirmed the sagacity nftho observer, and de
veloped more s'ronglv live lineaments of his suh
i -ft. Never did a pollti 'inn’s character so univor
aliy strike all beholders lit the same light.
Distressing Fire—A Family burned to death
—At 2 o’clock this morning, the lower part of the
house \o 4 Front street, wit discovered to ! e on

rate business has I eon doing this week ; buyers,
however, desirous to purchase, are not disposed
in every instance to come fully up to the advanced
rates at present insisted upon by hoMera. It will
be perceived that the quotations in the different
