\ From the Constitutionalist. Gov. Crawford and Economy t WHIGERY AOAIUST WIlIGERf ! “5. Resolved, Thai the public debt of Georgia should annually be reduced, and paid off finally,.at the earliest practicable period.” The above is one of of the whig resolves oassed at their recent Convention in Mil- ledgeviilc. How docs whig practice tally with this sentiment? I call Gov. Crawford’s Finance Committee, of December, 1844, to the Bar of the public, and here is their statement: JS44—Public debt, under Crawford, $1,725,134 73 1313— “ “ “ McDonald, $1,614,138 98 ALBANY PATRIOT.

Kenan.— The two last gentlemen arc known to be prominent whigs. And yet, it would seem, to hear the fiscal nblitics of Gov. Crawford spoken of, that our state is now, under the whig manage* ment, almost out of debt. The whigs seem to think, that because Central Hank money is at par value, that every thing else is right. But, I ask again, how docs whig prac tice correspond with their sentiments 1 Is not the State of Georgia more in debt now than she was before Gov. Crawford was c- lectod T If any whig denies this, I refer him to the whig 'Finance Report. Will they dispute the statements of James A. Meri wether and A. II. Kenan 1 Then, it those genllmcn arc not to be believed, I must leave the question of truth to be settled a- mong themselves. It is right that I should state that Fj nance Committee says this §110,999 75 is the apparent incrcasc'of the public debt— but in another portion of the Report they state : The actual increase of debt is only §13,078,—only ! Again: •* JlCJUtlCtf, Thai •*.. P.nh*M«*.A.y >h*..V4 be a source of revenue instead of expense to the State.” This i3 the tenth resolution of the Whig Convention. Well let iis exanmine how this will accord with the practice or man agement of the Penitentiary under tlicjires onl whig government. And, again, 1 cull upon Gov. Crawford’s Finance Committee, to give evidence before the public.

If any reasonable doulit exists in the minds of any us to the truth of the above statement, I can only turn them river to the friendly whig compassion of James A. Meriwether and A. II. Kenan ! These gentlemen arc good authority for the whigs. I nave established, then, by whig testi mony, that tiic public debt of Georgia has been'increased, and that the Pcnitentinry has not proved a source of revenue to the Slate under the administration of Gov. Crawford. The whigs will not crrtninly attempt to disjnite or impeach the testimony of their own witness. e PINEY WOODS. P. S. My “ School Master” friend must excuse inc for a few days.—I will pay ear ly attention to the other points of his'eom- rnunication embraced in ihc expenditures under the Contingent and Miliitary funds. Our esteemed correspondent, who wrote last from Clarksville, will accept our most hearty thanks for his agreeable letters. We hope be will not get weary in well doing, but will continue to instruct and ainiise our readers with his graphic remarks on men and things. Wc have travelled over the same region, and know how to estimate in some degree, his pleasures and bis diffiicultics; and wc will say for his encouragement, that the beauties of the scenery arc remembered with delight, years after the biting, stinging and smarting grievances of the journey ore forgotten, or recalled to mind only as a small alloy to our pleasures. We hope our corres pondent will forgive us, when we confess that we can hardly regret some of his annoyances, when they odd so much to the pungent spirit of his letters. “Important |( Tree.” This is the manner in which the ‘New York Tribune’ introduces the following par agraph from the “Philadelphia Gazette” of Tuscday evening: “Gentlemen from Washington state with confidence that lion. James Buchanan has resigned the Secretaryship of Slate, and that the President litis selected Andrew Stevenson, of Virginia, to fill the place,— Differences of opinions as to the Oregon negotiation have induced this step on the part of Mr. Buchanan.” It is as'oni.-hing how any “gentlemen” can state with “confidence” n report which is so utterly destitute of any foundation.. What can be the motive for such a gratuitous fa brication?. What other purpose can it uns- wer, than first to scatter, lor a few days, a report that is calculated to agitate the pub- tic mind, and to cast an air of ii.siabiiiiy o- ver the administration; and.then, when the report is exposed, to shake the cofidcncc of the public in every rumor that catenates from Washington. No such report as the above has ever circulated in this city of ru- niors. There is not a shadow of truth in it. Mr. Buclianan has nor resigned, nor, has. he talked or thought of resigning; nor has any member of the. cabinet. .The rea son assigned, too for his. resignation, is fabulous as the report itself. There is difference of opinion in the cabinet on the Oregon question. There never was a more harmonious cabinet, and there is as IjiUe variety of opinion bn all the great questions which come before the present cabinet, as in any of its predecessors. We are fully warranted in making’thi* statement in the most authentic and authoritative manner. cs V f r - . n nit Washington Union: ■ Wheat Crop. ■ 'TheBaltimore American of the 19th inst. *a^_now that the yield and quality of the present year’s crop have been pretty accu-1 gaging manners. in England from tho Saxon or Norman conquest) and if from either, what but the strong arm of power established his claim.

Here ho is liarly severe upon tho apprentice system of the &J lish Government. ' Leaving these two important inquiries, he m?*, the moral influences of slavery upon cither the sh\ or the slaveholder, in comparison with that ot th: free systems as they arc called; and he leaves fc- foul records of the latter in disgust, as exhibited b< their own statistics. Wc must extract however, passage from this portion of the first letter, to give an idea of the style of Gov. Hammond. “ But your grand cliarge is tint licrntionsnn« u intercourse between the sexes is a prominent trsitc! it o rt rui i two] Ehoti Lhiu bout or i viX ■tits 1 lull D Inin hull fore it bad been legislated upon at all, quoting his own words for it.

He is here most singularly happy in his de monstrations from the Holy Scti|ftures—not only proving tiiat slavery is permitted, but enjoined. We cannot do justice to this part of the subject, without quoting at length his second letter, so for as connec ted with it. . • s our social system, and that it neccssarilv arise* fob I ’. This is a favorite theme with the Abolit;*. I in; t ml Iicii luff tali In the election of President, the Whigs have been great admirers of the one term principle, and we be lieve have adopted it as an articlo of their creed. They have contended that if the President was al lowed to run for a second term, he would be likely to buy friends by the bestowment of office and pat ronage on influential but unworthy persons. If these reasons are good in the election of President, they should also bo good against tho election of a Gov ernor for a second term. But this would be fotal to Mr. Crawford’s prospects, and they arc now oppo sed to the one term principle altogether, and ask by elect another Governor, us long as Mr. Craw ford docs well—why try a new man ) This would lead to the principle that a Governor must remain in office during good behaviour. But while he re mains in office he has it in his power to hide many of his acts should they bo corrupt, and it is only by changing tho Executive that the people have it in their power to probe and examine his administration. If a Governor is to remain in office until he does something for which he can be impeached, hi will be a monarch at once; for he can generally make a favorable report for himself, whilst he has the sub ordinate officers of the department under his control. By tho tone of the Whig press in Georgia, H would appear that this State had been under tho solo management and control of George W. Crawford for the last two years. They do not seem to con sider the Legislature or tho Judiciary of any impor tance—Gov. Crawford has done every thing that has been done.' Even the United States Govern ment has had nothing to do with Georgia during Mr. Crawford’s reign. If we migl* tatm the testi mony of Whig writers for authority, Mr. Grawford has raised money, paid tho debts of tho State, man aged tho Central Bank, and the Penitentiary, all himself. If this is not their meaning, then at least a part of the merit they claim for him behmgs.to oth ers. But if bo has done all they say, ho has been as complete a monarch aa the Emperor of Morocco.— When could they say till now, tiiat talked ofRomc, That her wide walls encompassed but one man )” Our learned neighbor of tho Courier thought it his duty to criticise Gen Brisbane’s Eulogy on Gen eral Jackson,. - This, no doubt was a painful duty to him. Indeed the whole performance shows it was cxscutcd with much pain and under many embar rassments. This will no doubt account for a few mistakes. The learned critic spent much tiino and throw away a great deal of learning on some passa ges which were not in the eulogy, but were the pro duct of his own prolific brain. This is nn error which our neighbor frequently falls into; when he attempts to quote a passage—his imagination runs ahead of his memory, and he substitutes some of his own productions for those of tho author ho is crit icising, and of course makes nonsense, lie has al so erected a standard of taste, and will hereafter let us know what is good taste and what is bad taste. For this no doubt he is well qualified. If there is any thing in practice, his taste must-bo highly culti vated—indeed, some have gone so far as to assert, that by tasting of a glass of whiskey, he can tell on which side of the Monongahela the rye grew, from which it was distilled. Be this as it may, his tastes bare become proverbial in town. He has already tried his talent in Didactic and Biographic criticism—we will this week give.him a Bucolic.

This would make a considerable difference in the amount of printing, hot the Whig writer dom not see fit to make this explanation. Florida Congressional Nominations.

Innumerable instances might lie quoted where God lias given and commanded men to assume dominion ever their fel'ow-mcn. In the twenty-fifth chapter of Leviticus you will find Domestic Slavery —precisely such as is maintained at this <lay in these St'ttcs—ordained and es'ablisked by Ood, in language which I defy you to pervert so as to leave a doubt on any honest mind that this institution was founded by Him and decreed to be perpetual. I quote the words: Leviticus 25 ch. 44 v.: “ Bot|i thy Bondmen and thy Bondmaids, which thou eliolt have, shall be of the Heathen [Africans] that are ronnd about you: of them ye shall buy Borulinen and B out mr ids. 45: Moreover of the children of the strangers tiiat do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that arc with you, which they begat in u..ur land [descendants of Africans!] and they shall be your possession. " . . . . , 46: “ And yeshall take them as ail inheritance fur your children after i/ou, to inherit them for a possess ion.. They shall jib your Bondmen Fokevbb.” What human Legislature could malic a decree more full and explicit than this) What Court of Lmv or Chancery could defeat h title to a slave couched in terms so clear and complete as these 7— And this is the Law of (list, whom you pretend to worship, while you denounce and traduce us for re specting it. It seems scarcely creditable, hut the fact is so, that you deny this law, so plainly written, and in the face of it, have the hardihood to declare that “ though slavery is not specifically,yet it is virtually forbidden in the scriptures, because all the crimes which ne cessarily arise out of slavery, and which can arise from no other source, are reprobated there and threa tened with divine vengeance.” Such an unworthy subterfuge is scarcely entitled to consideration. But its gross absurdity may be exposed in a few words. slavery. ists, male and female.
