Wo learn by the Alabama and Columbus papers, that this statement is altogether incorrect, and that the Volunteers are now far advanced in their march towards Tallahassee. We believe the reason of the delay in their march to Florida, was occasioned by their presence having been deemed necessary in tile Cl reek nation, until after the removal of the Indians. We sincerely wish these brave Volun teers may meet with the success, in their present hazardous undertaking:, of which they arc so highly deserving. They have a foe to contend with, which is more to be dreaded than the hos tile Indians, but wo are confident they will leave nothing undone which it may be in the power of man to accomplish. MR.

BLACK, Esq. before tlk State Rights Association of Scrlvcu county, at JacksoulroroiigU on the 4Hi July, JB3G. Let us hail, Mr, President, (said Mr. Black,) the recurrence olthe Anivcisary of our freedom, as an event that assures us we are yet free—that animates us with the hdpC we shall die freemen —and, that incites us by the ardent contemplation of the achievements of our ancestors, to perpetu ate that Liberty, which through peril, they won upon tho stake of their “ lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors.” The men of the Revolu tion, (he said) were passing away ; how few re mained to tell us the story of their country’s wrongs—“ the proud man’s scorn, the oppressor’s contumely”—of that tyranny which drove them from the British Crown, and made them swear to die freemen, rather than live slaves. Inexorable Timeljas if unconcious of the virtues which should have shielded them from the common lot of the human herd, has ploughed deep furrows in their cheeks, once flushed with victory, and palzied their arms, which erst had nobly struck for “ God and Liberty.” But though many of them had yielded to that stern decree which consigns man back to his kindred element of earth, arid the few who lingered among us were tottering upon the very verge of tho grave, “ enough of their glory remained on each sword to light us to victory yet.” Within a short month, in our own county, the hand of death had torn from us one of our own revolutionary heroes. Near his eightieth y£ar, after having fought through the Revolution, and endured all the horrors of a British Prison ship, well known, and well beloved by all who knew him, John Conieus went down into the grave, with tho same calm and firm reliance upon his Maker, which had strengthened and supported him through all the disasters of ’76. His was an humble, but a bright career, born under the dominion of the 3rd Gcoigo, “ whose, house-hold virtues most uncommon,” but the more exposed, by contrast) his governmental mis rule, he lived to sever with his sword the mana cles that bound him, and transmit to Iris numer ous posterity, that liberty which was not his birth right. It was his glory to have, boon a Whig of the Revolution, and its our pride that he was a firm and devoted member of this Association ; thus illustrating by his last political attachment, the principles for which he had warred against his herditary Kino ; and if epitaph be necessary to perpetuate the memory of such a man, let us here pronounce it; “ A firm and constant Whig of the American Revolution’’ —an eulogium, the truth of which, is sufficient to cover any man with glory. To such men as tho friend whose loss wo deplore, and his compatriots in arms, let us look, (said Mr. Black,) for example and ad monition of our duty to ourselves, and our coun try. 'Phey had onco been branded as rebels aiid traitors, but they had survived the calumny, and lived to die honored and revered; we too, have been called rebels and traitors, hut be not, lie be sought, driven from the high purpose of your country’s redemption—be not frightened by tho unreal terrors of a name, or the aspersions ofiuso j lent, and unprincipled men. If wc are traitors and rebels, the Whigs of the Revolution, with ! George Washington at their head, arc Our glori ous fellows in treason and rebellion. ’ lam rejoiced, (said Mr. Black,) to sec so many f Union men present. The day is past when it 1 was necessary to discuss the principles of Stale Rights, or analyze the doctrine of Stale Sover : eignty before the Nullifies of this county—they ’ arc masters of their creed in theory, and stand 3 ready to reduce it to practice upon all proper oc -1 rations —hut as he valued the good opinion of 5 his fellow citizens of the Union party, he cheerful ly embraced this opportunity of staling and cx- ( plaining to them, a few of the more prominent 1 j and essential points of his political faith, which had 5 ; its origin in the Resolutions they had just heard, 1 but which certain people, more remarkable for * their sniartness than the profiiiidity of thoir view, 1 had lately discovered to he the very essence of dis i union. This he could not more easily accom f plish than by running a parallel between the i two parties ; and, strange as it may seem, ho ven , tured the assertion, that in the exposition, tho great mass of our opponents would be found pos , sessing, professing, and acting upon the identical ■ doctrines to which we cling with such constancy. Your leaders, & not yourselves, have created the distinction and dillbicncc between us—a distinc tion purely of men, and not of principle; and he firmly believed, if the roill principles, the dels, and practices of those leaders, cduld be divtilgcd to their constituents, the great majority of the Union men would indignantly repudiate both . them and their rotten politics. To those who thus intentionally mislead them, he had nothing to say ; they were past cure, beyond all redemp tion—“ a mind diseased no rcnledy can physic,” —nothing but a dose of “ minority’’ more nau seous to them than the vilest drug; could turn them front llicit idols. Whenever that potion shall, as it assuredly "will be, administered to them, it will need no argument to aid it to a suc cessful operation. With a facility which no thing but practice could have rendered so perfect, they will then wheel to the right-about, and a single dpmersot will throw them into Hie very centre and vortex of nullification. How then, asked Mr. Black, stand the two parties'! You are devoted to the Union —to a Union of these States, based upon cqilality of rights and privileges, such as tho Constitution de clares it to be —to a voluntary Union for the slip port and protection of the united. To such a Union, we, too, are devoted. But, whenever that Union is perverted to an engine of oppres sion ; whenever it is used as a means of tarilf exactions upon the South, or resorted to for the purpose of Abolition, you yourselves will readily admit, as you have frequently declared, that in stead of advocating, you would he among the first, with us, to declare its dissolution—dissolved, not by us, but by those who have violated its letter, and its spirit. The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, you have just listened to, assort, that if Congress shall pass an unconstitutional act, the Sovereign States of this confederacy have tho right, and ought to abolish or ‘nullify the same. If then, Congress should pass an act creating brio of our citizens tho Duke of Scriven, and require you to obey tho enactment, under heavy penalities, or should ordain that Slavery shall no longer exist in Georgia, I ask you if you would submissively kneel at the foot of “ the Government,” to peti tion for a repeal of those acts; and, in case of a refusal to repeal, if you would content yourselves wilh a civil remonstrance? If not, what Would you do! You must either submit to these acts, or oppose them ; if you oppose them, you nulli fy, abrogate, or abolish them, as we ourselves would most certainly do; and I know you too well to believe, even for a moment, that any Union man in Scriven county would submit, cither to a title of nobility, or an abolition of domestic slavery. Again, the Proclamation of Andrew Jackson declares, that when a State is once in the Union, she can nSvcr get out of it, unless she fights her way out—that the States have no rights, not even the right of secession; and that whatever law Congress shall pass, will be enforced by the Exe cutive, even at the point of the bayonet. Are those your principles! Why the question, with out intending it, is an insult. Your answer is evident, “ they are not our principles; wo assu redly' believe, with you, that a recognition of such doctrines would at once yield Us voluntary slaves, and leave us no remedy against any unconstitu tional act of tho General Government.” Adopt these principles, and submit to have them acted Out upon you, and in less than twelve months, sla very would be abolished in Ocergia, by an act of Congress passed by the same majority that sus tained and adopted Mr. Pinckney’s Harmony Resolutions! But your public men arc support ing the Administiation which originated these dangerous and startling principles I —Mr. Black then spoke at some length of the violent seizure of tho deposites, ami of tho alarming progress of abolition at the North and East. Ho said that those who would lull the people of the South in to a sense of false and fatal security, upon that subject, deserved, and would receive, their bitter est execration and resentment. The Union par ty have been told by their loading men, and il had been re-echoed by their presses, that there was no danger—that the mass of tho people at the North were opposed to abolition, and if let alone, would in thoir own good time put the thing to utter extinction. Even the majority in the last Legislature, had gone so far as to declare "our confidence ” in Northern people,and our belief that the influential men in that section of the Union would ultimately abolish abolition it self! But, how far otherwise is the fact! Tho proof was at hand, he said, to shew that within a few years, from a miserable and contemptible few, the Fanatics had grown beyond example in number, influence, and wealth. They now numbered, instead of 300 individual advocates, at least that many largo and well constructed so cieties. They had established, and had in daily operation, an extensive and well foil private press; and had, by whatever means, rendered a large por tion of the public press at the North and East subsidiary to their incendiary views, and nefari ous projects. From their private printing estab lishments, thousands of pamphlets, tracts, and pictorial representations, teeming with rank cal umny and abuse of Southern men, were issued weekly, with the avowed and damnable purpose , of immediate and unconditional abolition of sla very. They have solemnly averred, that if a dis ,' solution of that Union, which you so much love, it is the only price at which their object was to he d obtained, they were ready and willing to pay that ], price— to dissolve tho Union, and liberate your ,r slaves. They hesitate not to declare their diabol r, leal intention to make the slave himself the iu i- strumenl of his own liberation ; to desolate the I fair and beautiful South, drenched as il would he c with the blood of your best patriots; and to 1- send death and dishonor to your women and e children. But, you are told that this is all idle phanla -1 sy, and a dream ; nay, more, as if in mockery of . your just and reasonable fears, and in derision c of your intelligence, men who profess to be your . friends, tell you you arc duped and played upon ] by designing demagogues, and that all this clam , dr about abolition is gotten up for political pur -1 poses, and to foster and advance nullification, j Do you, can you, believe it! If your house 1 top is on fire, will you heed him who tells you j to sit still—-that tho flames you see aro hut the ; coruscations of tho glowworm! Look, 1 beseech . you, dt ille result of tho great meeting in New > York, Idst siinlmer, whereat 30,000 men adopted . resolutions faintly condemnatory ol tho violent , a n<l aggressive movements of the immediate aboli ( tionists, as subversive of, instead of conducive to, the very object they wore all striving to attain. Look at tile resolution of the same meeting de claring slavery to be abhorrent Id thoir principles; and then remember, that not one of these States north of us, although it was demanded of their authorities, have yet passed one act of Legis lation inflicting penalties upon the Fanatics within their liiriits, who are thus deliberately whetting the knife for your throats ; and remem ber, too, that tho New York Resolutions arc bill a fair sample of all others that have been adopt ed north of Mason and Dixon’s line, since the agitation of this subject. Does all this mean nothing ! Can tod not uridorsldiid it! If you yet doubt, ask Dr. Channinh, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Slaue ; enquire at the office of Jtickncll’s C* Reporter, of the Saturday Evening Post, and of nearly all the leading papers at the North, whether the Abolitionists aro a handful of obscure men, who may ho “ grasped thus”! Ask of Arthur Tappan, and his wealthy confederates, if they are poor and pcnnylcss! Ask of tho 60,000 men who petitioned Congress, during the present session, to “ let slip the dogs of war” upon you, who they aro, and what their purpose ! All, all will answer you—nay, they have already thundered it in our cars—“ wo are rich and pow erful—oUr name is Legion—-the yearly resources of our societies nearly cqial tho annual revenue of Georgia—wc ate strong now, but we arc growing and increasing in a most wonderful de gree—wo are composed, not alone of the poor and hunible “men by the catalogue,” but our ranks are overflowing with. Senators, Represen tatives, Statesmen, Judges, Lawyers, Doctors, Preachers, wealthy merchants, and wo claim and rely on the Vice President of tho United States, as our friend and coadjutor. Tho chival rous knights of the crusades never boro a firm er or more adventurous purpose—the medieant pilgrim to Mecca, never a holler zeal in thcii Cditse than these oUr friends in the cause than those our friends in tho cause of Abolition, which is their religion; and the caravans to Bagdad and Bussorah, never carried ampler and more inexhaustible treasures to their princely mer chants, than we to the immediate and uncondi tional liberation of the slave.”—These, they tri umphantly and impudently exclaini to you, these are our men, these our means, and this our pur pose. Can you, gentlemen of the Union party, excuse your pretended friends, who, attempting to lead your opinions, would thus blind you lo the perils that environ your path, and deceive you as (5 the extent of your dangers ; who, upon the watchtower, falsely cry out “all’s well,” when the Fanatic is pleaching insurrection to your slaves, and threatening us daily with all the hor rors of a servile war! Do you remember the Resolutions you assisted us to pass at a meeting of both parlies, last summer, in this very church, and tho severity with which, by your votes upon that occasion, you dealt wilh one of your own men, who said something about the abolition o* slavery in the District of Columbia 1 Yoii then declared, and surely you have not repented the • declaration, your immoveable opposition, not on ly to tho abolition of slavery, by any moans, in the States, hut in the territories, and in the Dis trict of Columbia ; and you said, and very pro perly said, you would hear no argument upon the subject—that it was a thing about which you would rather fight than talk ; and you pronoun ced any man who oven hinted at a connection of cithkr of our parties with the Abolitionists “a LiAß,”whom nothing but his personal absence from your county would save from the infliction of Lynch’s law*. You then spoke out your true principles, which you have neither denied or rh canted, and holding such principles and views, permit mo to put a case, byway of illuslralßlg . tho wide difference between you and the public servants, in whom you have placed your trust. Suppose then, (said Mr. B.) Arthur Tappan now at your Church door, praying lo he permit -1 ted to present for your consideration and adop tion, a petition, in which among other things he pronounced us all to ho man stealers, land pi rates, slave holders, and dealers in human flesh ’ and blood, who were nponly violating the laws of God and man —suppose the petitioner denoun cing us as men who had abandoned all principle, 1 truth, honor, honesty, and virtue—sensual ty ■ rants and grovelling despots, degraded by the t guilt of slavery, and wallowing in a lustful and • brutal intercourse with our own slaves—suppose • this but an epitome of the vilo slander showered 1 upon us by the petitioner—and he at your thres - hold, claiming admittance, and your respectful 1 consideration, and even adoption of his villainous : petition. What answer would you return—what . reception Would you give him ! Would you say ■ “ kind sir! come in among us, read your petition , over to us, let us hear its contents again”! c which being done, would you reply thus, in tin ,t most respectful maimer: wc have heard am r deliberately considered your petition, wc arc no - so well pleased with it; therefore, although wi - nave received it, wo simply reject il / and il e order to treat you with the utmost cousidoratioi 3 and respect, wo give your petition “Christian ) burial,” by decently laying it on our table.’ 1 1 Need I ask il this is the course you would pui sne, when but last summer you silenced all spec ulation upon this subject, at least in your pre sence, by your unanimous and violent vote, lo 1 which I have just referred ! Need I ask high r minded, honorable, Southern men, and slave 1 holders, as I know you lo bo, such a question ! I No, gentlemen ! 1 will not suppose you are slocks ■ and stones, to sutler cruel insult to bo added to your injuries, wilh impunity. On the contrary I will venture lo assert, that instead of receiving tho Incendiary, and respectfully laying his libel on your table, you would kick Arthur Tappan out 1 of your Church, and his infamotls petition after him. Nay, more, wc would sanctify and seal the celebration of this day, by hanging the petitioner t.u yon patriarchal Oak, there lo dangle in sol emn warning 16 all oilier abolitionists who should dare to pollute our soil by their presence. Thus would wo have acted. Now answer me truly, have your Representatives ill Congress (with a single exception) represented you and your principles, in this most impoitant matter, their several votes upon Pinckney’s Resolutions! It you have ilyct t 6 ledrri, let nio tell you no ; they have not represented your principles upon tho subject referred to, nor did they tict lipdii that oc casion as you would have acted, had you been per sonally present. The Pinckney Resolutions pre sent a state of facts precisely similar to tho case I have supposed, and required these villanous and allusive petitions to be received and respectfully laid upon the table, whence, if tho clerk does his duty, they will be transferred to the journal of the House, Ihoro to remain a stain upon your character, and an acknowledgment that Con gress has tho right to abolish domestic slavery in the District of Columbia ; which point tho abo tionists themselves aver, if once attained, will open a broad and easy road to tho accomplish ment of tho same object within tiro Slat Cs. Yet, tho men whom you deputed to represent your principles in Congress, actually, (with but one solitary exception) voted for tire adoption of these Resolutions; which, if they had been previously adopted try our primary assembly hero, would 1 have compelled us to receive Arthur Tappan, and ■ to trodt his petition with civility and respect. Thus, gentlemen of tho Union parly, have I illustrated the wide dilfcrencc between you and your principles, and yorir Representatives and thoir principles; and, if after your servants have so abused tiro confidence you reposed in them, you still adhere lo and support them, you in fact adopt their principles, as exemplified by their votes, and hecotho responsible to the people for the direful consequences. You will bo wheeling short round upun your own good principles, here tofore deliberately expressed, and w ill forfeit all claims to any thing like consistency. Suffer not your servants, I pray yoU, thhs to dally arid tem porize with the Norlhen people upon this mo mentous and critical subject, hut put away from your counsels duy iriau, or set of men, whoever they may he, who would not speak, act, and vote, in Washington, as you speak, act, and vole in Scriven. Again; you are culled upon, by those who pre tend lo he your advisers, to support Marlin Van Huron for the Presidency, and R. M. Johnson for the Vied Presidency. Your Convention at Mil ledgeville have put them both in regular party nomination, for these highest offices in tho gift of the people. Do you, canyon, remembering your former and present professions, sanction and sup port such a HrilHihation ! Will you tolerate in Martin Van Bnren his written and avowed belief that CongrCsr has tho right to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, when hula twelvemonth ago, from the seats you now occupy, you peremp torily stopped a regular debate, unanimously, with us, to condemn the same opinion, which had been only incidentally adverted lo in the discus sion ! Can you consent lo throw the vast and still increasing patronage of this government into Pic hands of a mart, vVlio, while a member of the New York Legislature, voted for the right of Free Negro suffrage, and openly advocated the startling proposition that theNr-ono shall have power, at the polls, to control the destinies of go vernment equally with yourselves ! It is said ■ ho is at this moment making large sums of money by speculating in tho public lands. He was op posed to the last war at tho most critical period of the contest—he is, and ever was, a high tariff mart; and, lo prove his devotion to the American System, he assured his friends at the North, that he had justthori appropriated $20,000 to the pur chase of sheep I He was a Missouri restriction : ist. But what boots it to multiply charges; I could go on for lliroe hours to enumerate, for I hold in my hand, a catalogue of his political crimes; hut I forbear.; for what docs it signify . that otherwise ho may ho as pure as the fabulous , icicle which hung from JJian's temple, if upon the one vital, all-important subject of Slavcfy, lie bo is rotten to the core, and pledged against the I South ! Did your.Convcntion mean to stigmatize you, , when they lead out before the world R. M. John - son as roua choice, for Vice President! But, > think of il for a moment. Knowing as they did, 1 that you were white men, and legitimately and ' honorably connected with white people, they yet I dared to link you politically with a man who has ■ long since degraded himself by actually marrying 1 two negro women. Yes, gentlemen, ibis same * Johnson, whom your Convention has foisted up l on the community as your man, is the father of ' two mulatto girls, whom he openly supports, ac -1 knowledges, and defends; and whom he has used his best endeavors to introduce into the society ie of respectable ladies, ami into the families of Iron id est while men. Why, if you continue to adhere ol to this candidate, your very wives and daughters, re leaving the loom and spindle, will for their own in sakes, raise such a din and clatter against this 111 villanous nomination, as shat! deafen you, and in make you wish R. M. Johnson and his mulatto ” family at tho devil. Suppose a ease, gentle 1- men. The Colonel, by your aid, is elected Vico President. After his election, ho [anh uts fam -- m.y] make a tour to tho South—of course ho 0 will he solicitous to see and visit liis friend;; ami 1- supporters—and accordingly his carriage stops at e your door. You are delighted lo sec the Vico ! President, and receive him with becoming civili s ty; but, behold ! in a moment your delight is a turned into astonishment and consternation’ 1 when he introduces to you his mulatto daughters ? —the tawny Misses Johnson! What Would you I do wilh your Vice President and his children ! I You could not, you would not, seat his daughters r by yitS daughters —yoii wohill sutler your right 3 arms cut off before ydd wolild have them in your r families,and at your tables. How then!—Why, - you could hilt ask tho father into your house, and I send Iris daughters lo the kitchen !j ! 'This man, then,"who slops not at the “ book ish thcoric” of abolition, but, in advance of tho doctrines of his day, has gone, and is going, tho full length of open avowed practical amalgama tion, is recommended lo you by your aforesaid friends, as a fit and proper person to preside at the ’ head of the Senate, and possibly at the head of the ’ Government! Shairio, sliame ! “Oh, feeling, thou ■ art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason”! If these charges bo true, is there not a wide and deep gulpH between the ihass of tho Union party, and their men in office; and is there a man hero who doubts their truth! If there is, ho surely must he as redoubtable a douhl -1 cr, as tho sceptical Wouter Van Twillcr himself. I But, in sober earnest, call, I pray you, upoh these r headmen of your pdrty, lo respond directly and • to the point; suffer them not lu illsult your un -1 dcrslunding by unmeaning denunciations of John - C. Calhoun and South Carolina, and by violent ami blind abuse of Nullification, as an answer to • your accusations. Hold them to the' question, , guilly or not guilty, and to pertinent and relative ' answers. Spurn from you thoir virulent abuse 1 and insignificant generalities. Listen not to ' them, when they tell you that nullification is dis ' union, and nullifiors arc rebels. Say to them in 1 a manner licit Id be misunderstood, two wrongs 1 never made a right, first justify yourselves, by tho adduction of fuels and reasonable arguments, and [ think not wo are such fools us lo bo gulled into n 1 belief of your purity, by sweeping denunciations I of your political opponents. But pursue such a . Cdui-se with your servants in office, and as surely us we have agreed upon the poiiils discussed be tween us this day, will you pronounce your ver dict of guilty upon them, when they arc brought ||p a strict and a final hearing, for the Augusta chronlcle. BURKE STATE RIGHTS MEETING. At a meeting of lire Burke Slate Rights Asso ciation, held in Wayneshorough, on Tuesday, 6th September, the following resolutions wore passed unanimously.

Tliis place has had a reputation for health, scarcely equalled by that of any Village in the State. This was well deserved. 8 So perfect has been the exemption, that most of J our citizens believed, that ntt place in the inoup -1 talns afforded greater security. While we state the fact, that we have extraordinary sickness a mong us, we trust our readers will not believe e that we have all been attacked, or (hat the mnr taUty has been considerable. An impression has e if 0 '. 10 '! l,roa<l ' wo have had indeed a terrible visitation. A friend, who fives in this place, I informed us a few day? ago, that when absent from t home in a neighbouring town, he received such a ? wlul accounts of us, that he hesitated whether he should not suspend his return until float. Now wo can assure the public, that there is no danger s to be apprehended from a visit, to this place. Out , of a population of about 700, wo have had 35 or 5 30 cases of fever. But one case, so far as wo know, has terminated fatally.’ This was a North -1 ern gentleman who.was spending his first sum! ■ tner at the Soulh. The fever has been confined , almost entirely to those families in the south western part of our Village, adjacent to the Creek. No new cases, wb believe, Have dcchrred within a fortnight. Unaccountable Fact. —lt has been ascertained that most of the suicides among military men at Paris, have taken place ariidlig those whose pccu~ niary circumstances weie easy. ' SOUTH CAROLIN A KAII.
