That, if any thing will giro a clue. And looking

Teat of this same Transcendentalism ? The rays of
&Onbw Moral Drummond light were first concen
trated to a focus at Paris, to filominate the Universe.
In a twinkling it consumed tho political, religious
and social system of Franco. It could not be ex
tinguished there until literally drowned in blood..—
Ahd then from its ashes rose that supernatural man,
who, far twenty years kept aflHghtod Europe in
convulsions. Since that time its scattered beams,
refracted by broader surface, have nevertheless con
tinued to scathe wherever they have (alien. What
political structure, what religious creed but has felt
the galvanic shock, and even now trembles to its
foundations ? Mankind, still horror stricken by the
catastrophe of France, have shrank from rash exper

practising in the East, around the MedSerincan, and
through the West India Islands. And growing con-
fafcnt, a portion of them seem desperately bent on
kindling tho all devouring flame in the bosom of our
land. Let it once again blaze op to heaven and an-
other cycle of blood and devastation would dawn
upon the world. For oar sake, and for the sake of
those infatuated men who arc madly drii^ng on the
conflagration; for the sake of human nature, we are
called on to strain every nerve to arrest it. And be
assured our efforts will be bonnded only with our
being. Nor do I doubt that five millions of'people,
brave, intelligent, united, and prepared to hazzard
every thing, will, in such a cause, with tho blessing
of God sustain themselves. At ail events, come
what may, it is ours to meet it."
Wc also give the three last paragraphs of the
concluding letter. They aro too vital to pass with
out that deep study which interests and principles
involving our lives and eternal welfare, necessarily
demand; and Governor Hammond has done much
to assist ns in tho study.
“ But perhaps tbo most extraordinary part of your
letter, fay our bold denunciation of “the shameful
eomjewmses” of our Constitution, and your earnest
recommendation to those you address to overthrow
or revolutionize it In so many words you say to
them, “ you mast either separate yourndivs from ail
political connexion with the South, ami mako your
own laws; or if you do not choose such p separa
tion, you most break up the politieul ascendeticy
t.'hich the Southern hate had /or to long a time over
the Northern Statu." The italics in this as in all
other quotations, are your own. It is well for those
who circulate your letter here, that the Constitution
you dcnounco requires sn overt act to constitute
treason. It may bo tolerated for an American by
birth, to uso on his own soil, tbo freedom of speak
ing and writing which is guarantied to him, and
abuse out Constitution, our Union, and our people.
But that a foreigner should uso such seditious lan
guage, in a Circular letter addressed to a portion of
the American poople, is a presumption well calcula
ted to excite tho indignation of all. The party
known in this country ss tho Abolition party has
longsinco avowed tho sentiments you expresss,and
adopted tho policy you enjoin. At tho recent Pres
idential election they gave over 62,000 votes for
their own candidate, end held the balance of. power
in tho two largest States—wanting but little of do
ing it in several others. In the last four years their
vote has quadrupled. Should the infatuation con
tinue and their voto increase in tho sarno ratio in
the next four years, it will be as largo as tlio vote of
the actual slaveholders of tho Union. Such a pros
pect hi doubtless extremely gratifying to you. It
gived hope of a contest on such terms as may insure
the downfall of slavery or our Constitution. The
rfouth venerates tbo Constitution, and is prepared to
stand by it forever, such as it came from the hands
'four.fathers;.to risk every thing to defend and
maintain it inils integrity. Bat tho South is under
no such delusion as to believe that iulerives any
ci-cu.’iar prutectiofa from tho Union. On the con
trary, it is well known that we incur peculiar dan
ger and that we bear far more than our proportion
of tho burdens: The apprehension is also fast fir-
ding nway that any of the dreadful consequences
comnufrooly predicted will necessarily result from a
reparation of the States. Xml come what may we
are firmly resolved that ova system of Donssnc
SaA.vn*Y sn.vu.sT.\no. The fate of the Union then
—but thank God not of Republican Government—
rests mainly in the bands of the peoplo to whom
yonr letter is addressed—tho “professing Christians
of the Northern States having no concern with slave
holding,” and whom with incendiary zeal yon are
. endeavoring to stir op to strife—without which fit-
naticism can neither live, more, nor have any being.
“ We havo often been taunted for our sensitive
ness in regard to the discussion of Slavery. Donat
suppose it is because we have any doubts of our
rights, or scruples about asserting them. There
was n time when such doubts and scruples were
entertained. Our ancestors opposed the introduc
tion of slaves into this country, and a feeling averse
to it was handed down from them. Tho en
fie tore ofliberty fostered by our Revolution strength

rics, and will not escape posterity, that England,

“i’otinjuoi sa philanthropic n’a pas daigne, jusqu* a

must you flatter yonrsclf that your party will derivo
historic dignity from tho names of the illustrious
British statesmen who havo acted with it Their
country's ends were theirs. They havo stoopod to
use you, as tho most illustrious men will sometimes
uso tho vilest instruments, to accomplish their own
purposes. A few philanthropic common places add
rhetorical flourishes, “in the abstract,” havo secured
them your “sweet voices,” and your influence over
tho tribe of mawkish sentimentalists. Wilberforcc
may havo been yours, but what was ho besides but
a wealthy county member? You must there (ore
expect to stand on your own merits alono before
posterity, or rather that portion of it that may be cu
rious to trace the history of the Delusions which
from time to time pass over the surface of human af
faire, and who may trouble themselves to look thro’
tbo different ramifications of Transcendental ism in
this ora of extravagancies., And bow do you expect
to appear in their eyas ? As Christians piously en
force tho will of God and cany out the principles of
Christianity? Certainly not; since you deny or
pervert tho Scriptnrcs in the doctrines you advance;
and in yonr conduct furnish a glaring contrast to
the examples of Christ and tho Apostles. As Phi
lanthropists devoting yourselves to the cause of hu
manity, relieving tho needy, comforting the afflicted,
creating peaco and gladness and plenty round about
you? Certainly not; since you torn from the nee
dy and the afflicted; from strife, sorrow and starva
tion which surround you; close your eyes and bands
upon them; shut out from your thoughts and feelings
the human misery which is real, tangible, and with
in your roach, to indulge your morbid imagination in
conjuring up woes and wants among a strange peo
plo in distant lands, and oflering them succor in the
shape of costless denunciations of their best friends,
or by scattering among them “firebrands arrows and
death.” Such lolly and madness—aoch wild mock
ery and base imposture—can never win for you, in
the sober judgment of future times, the miss of
Philanthropist. Will yon even bo regarded as wor
thy citizens? Scarcely, when the purposes you
have in view can <mly be achieved by revolutionizing
governments and overturning social systems, and
when yon do not hesitate zealously and earnestly to
recommend such measures. Be assured, then, that
posterity will not regard the AbolitionisU as Chris
tians, Philanthropists, or virtuous citizens. It will,
I have no doubt, look upon the mass of the party as
silly enthusiasts, led away, by designing characters,
as is the case with all parties that break from the
great, acknowledged ties which bind civilized man
in fellowship. The leaders themselves will be re
garded as mere ambitious men; not ranking high
with than whose ambition is “eagle-winged and
sky-aspiring,” but belonging to that mean and sel
fish class who are instigated by “rival bating envy,”
aw?whose baas thirst is for Notoriety: who cloak
their designs under rflo and impious hypocrisies,
and, unable to shine in higher spheres, derate them
selves to Fanaticism, as a trade. And it will be per
ceived that even in that, they shunned the highest
walk. Religious Fanaticism was an nM «si.Mi.b«J

Is .not tho Whig Party of 1845, the same party
that in 1844 wont for Henry Clay—a High Protec
tive Tariff, and Distribution of the Proceeds of the
Public Lands, and against Texas and Oregon?-
Have they changed any of their principles since ?
If they have, let ns know which, that wc may give
them credit for it. Arc they not still in favor of the
high Tariff of '43? Do they not still wish to dis
tribute tire proceeds of tire Public Lands among the
States for the double purpose of buying votes and
producing d vacuum in the Treasury, thereby giving
them an excuse to increase tbo Tariff? Would they
not still, if they had the power, abolish tho Veto of
the President, and expose the dearest interests of
tho country to the caprices of an accidental majority
in Congress?' And arc not most of their presses
and loading men, still opposed to the admission of
Texas into the Union ? Do not many of them take
the side of our enemies in most of our disputes with
foreign powers? Is not Geo. W. Crawford the
Standard Bearer of the Whig party far Georgia, and
the embodiment of their principles? How then
can any Democrat vote for Mr. Crawfonl ? To do
so ho must abandon every principle and interest for
which he has been contending for years. Ho must
desert his party, and his flag, in the hour of victory.
Ho must espouse A cause and a party upon which
the people of Georgia love already set the seal of

tain, Geo. W. Crawford.

Tho selection of this gentleman aa the standard-,
bearer of Democracy, we believe gave universal
satisfaction to the democratic party in this section of
Georgia. All are confident that under such a load
er victory is sure to perch upon the democratic stan
dard, and that overwhelming defeat awaits the
whigs. It is lor this xeaspsx that the vrhigs are re

The cotton plant is small, but is now bearing an
abundance of bloom and fruit. Tiro yield will bo

one fourth. The wheat crop has been good.
I have taken some care to enquire concerning the
political aspect of that part of the state through
which .1 bare passed. Mr. McAllister is, without
doubt, the most popular man that could have been
nominated by the Democratic party for Governor.
Ilia pofitioal friends are not only satisfied, without
an exception, so far as I have heard, but they will
give him an enthusiastic support on the first Mon
day in October.
The Whig party seem to bo equally well satisfied
with their candidate, Mr. Crawford. Both men en
joy great personal popularity—both seem to
the ontirc confidence of their own partisans, and the
respect of their opponents—ability and integrity are
conceded to each. In these respects they seem to
agree. But there are subjects upon which they
differ and which aro vitally important to the rights
and interests of the people of Goorgia. To these
subjects the peoplo aro now directing their atten
tion for the purpose of deciding the relative merits
of the two opposing candidates. Tho simplicity and
truth of the Democratic creed or principle 6f gov
ernment, which is embodied in the declaration of
Equal’rights and protection to all—exclusive privi-
ledges to none, is making its way slowly though
surely, through tbo ancient opposing nwrimu of
governments, add the more recent doctrines of ex
pediency, to a universal recognition and adoption by
freemen.
Many honest citizens who have-been led into the
support of tho whig creed or principle of govern
ment, in which is embodied tho maxims of Protection
and exclusive privileges to the fete—iohatextr is ex
pedient is Constitutional, by the once popular n«mn
of whig, and by the cunning sophistries with which
the designs of tho party leaden were ruled are
coming boldly oat in favor of Democratic equality.
They declare that no circumstances of expediency
shall make them instrumental in violating the spirit
of the Constitution and making themselves and their
children, by the unequal opperation of Tariff and
Tax Laws, the vassals or tributaries of their i
wealthy neighbors. They demand equal hi
equal civil rights, and they will havo them. I be
lieve from observation that a largo proportion of the
“rank and fife” of those who act with the whig
party of Georgia, are Democrats in principle.
A protective tariff has ever becha bitter pill to
southern men. Though giUed by sll the devices of
whig logic, and sanctioned by great
brilliant talent, it has been swallowed with loathing
even in momenta of excitement, and ia rejected with
disgust in moments of cool reflection.
Let every Democrat set with an eye single to the
good of the country—let the party act with coafi-
bitter against Mr. McAllister. They see in
the conqueror of their favorite, Geo. W. Crawford, | dence and energy, and democracy will continue
and their-rage and -»»*£» law m> bounds. They; triumphant in Georgia—tho election of M. H. Mc-

And to think of the impudence of the Democrats in

for Mr. Clay to. bare defrauded the peoplo of their

gigantic intellect sustained tho Federal measure,
and used his utmost to render popular that truly and
justly odious, mao—to have been linked “check by
jole” with him and his coadjutors since bis retire
ment from office. But for Mr. McAllister to bars
taken the petty office of District Attorney as a per
sonal favor to Judge Johnson—conferred and ac
cepted upon considerations disconnected from all
those of a partisan character, is a sin,so glaring
that no honest man shoujd vote for hint in October

.Twist and turn the question as you can, the ob

unfavorable impression in the mind* of tho people,
by connecting Mr. McAllister with that administra
tion. But let them pause for the dim shadow of an
act which in hicj constituted n “tank offence that
smells to Heaven” is bnt tbs shadow of a substance
of which the immaculate Henry Clay is the head,
the foot, the back, the front, the bone, the marrow,
the all. It is impossible to give that administration
character without imparting that rams character fo
him. If that administration was odious and Corrupt,
of which no ooo has a doubt, the whig* were dishon
