GEORGE R. GILMER
Mr. Gilmer has thought it necessary to publish an
address to the I* -ople, to place before them further
materials to enable them to form a correct judgment
of the points of controversy between him and the
Execntvie.
in the execution of this task, Mr. Gilmer does not
suffer himself to see that there is but one point in the
election law on which there is a difference of opin
ion between us requiring any discussion. His re
marks nd arguments aro founded upon the errone
ous assumption that all iho provision# of the election
law of Jto bo discustftd,; nd that hy shew
ing that in relation to some of them tho statements in
bis Circular may bo correct, that be must stand quite
ju.uificd in tho eyes ofthe public, for every tiling
contained in it.
There is but one point of the election law involv
ed in !iis case -the provision which requires a person
elected to signify his acceptance, within a limited
time—his failure to comply with that provision is ad
willed, end the act required of the Executive in con
|lior»/ore the best right of KpoaUmg knowingly up-j irII( , 0 0 |- that failure has been performed. The

The question discussed and determined, is under the
Constitution of the United Stales, not under the law
ol Georgia. Tho hitter is neithoi quoted nor loffr
red to —was not examined, and l believe not thoimln
of by the committee who made, nr the House of R tt
prosentativns who cotifiruic.d the loport. Withoul
evidence of unv kind that it was before the commit-
tee, Mr. G inters that our legislative iwt was di.*re-

compelled to report against the validity uf Mi Fi
render his trust, but no autiioiity but that oi lhe House
t*i which he belongs can deprive him of it, until his
form of service is at an end.
Having carefully abstained front noticing tiny por

SLAVERY—We publish to-day the re
port of the Committee of the Uoihc of Represent?!
tivcaof the United Stales, to whom had haen referred
tl»o subject of slavery in the District of Columbia.—
We r» ** mtnend the report to the attention of our
readeis; it takes a correct view of the subject and it
should meet the cordial approbation of Congress.
Wo aro at a loss to account for tlm zeal vxilli which
our northern brethren press tho subject of sluv« «y up
on the people of the United Stales. If we could he- j
liavo that philanthropy, and a disinterested regard for
blwrly and equality, were the feelings winch lead
them to reprobate negro slavery in the South, and to
urge its abolition, wo would certainly moot fiieir
view.-* in kindness and gratitude ; and wo would have
only to lament, that humanity, and love f«»r liberty
and eq-uility, h ive curried llu-m ho far in their specu

Clark 1 .. 1„ answer, i
Omitting the words markod oy me in tho above ex
tract from tho Circular, Mr Gilmer changesihe whole
t haractrr of his fir.'t proposition, and presents me us
denying thn correctness of another, not th n present
ed lor consideration I had supposed the explicitness
of my own words had left no room for doubt; and be
In’v.ng that they cannot bo misunderstood by those
who are willing to coinprehomt thorn, instead of fol
lowing !\Ir G’s. argument to prove that while recol
lecting in Madrid the provision of iho election law
now ill* J subject of controversy, I had forgetten the
provisions Mr G. is determined if possible to dispute
about—( shall simply repeat them—My words are ;
<• II* i far tlio opinion expressed,” (see the extract
from the C.retdar) ‘ that thi. provision enforced is
a more formality, witliou compulsory obligation,is en-
t-rt.lined, I have no means of judging ; it never was
mine ” J am tlieiefore represented in the Address, as
seeming to think, that Mr. G is mistaken in suppos
ing all tlm provisions of tho election law ore univer
sally considered not of compulsory obligation, because
I entertained a different opinion, altlio’ it will be per
ceived that I disclaimed the expression ofany jtidg
merit on his assertion in the Circular except as to my
own opinion, & tlmt was confined to tlio singleprovis
ion enforced, in his case. This is tho inure striking
ns I took occasion most distinctly to express my con
victions that the statute of Georgia was unconstitu
tional in the provisions which make three years resi
dence nml tho payment of tuxes qualifications to
hold asc.it in Congress.
Mr Gilmer quotes tin. report of tlio Committee of
Congress made in IbiM to show the accuracy of an
other of his statements in which \ believed him to
have been mistaken.
In the Address he states:
“ In my former Circu
lar, ! stated that if I did
not mistake, Mr. Forsyth

In tiio Circular he
states:
“ By tho constitution
each House shrill judge
Sec.—Under this provis
ion of the constitution it
is understood that iho
House of Representatives
has determined that it was
not honntl by the election
laic of Georgia, as to the
qualification of its mem
bers from that State, and
in ono instance if 1 mis
take not Governor F
and opinions on a purlieu Ur point. Mr G. errs in
supposin'/ tlinro is any discrepancy het\v*'ttu ilio con
clusion of the committee ami tlw act of Georgia —
Tlio act of Georgia and tho Constitution*)!* lh«* Uni
led States agree in thn, that n person to bo eligible uv
a member oftlm House of Representative*, must he
an inhabitant of tho State when elected—Our act re
quires that the person should liavo boon an inhabitant
three years. The character of tho inhabitancy re
quired is tin*same in the statute and coiibtiiutinn ; the,
only ditfirenco is that ofTnnu—“ an actual residence'
is required by neither. Mr. G. has boon led into an
error by too hasty an examination of our statute—
The words of iho act are, “ that no person sli tll bo
elected a Representative in Congress, who hu* not
been an inhabitant of this State three years next
proceeding his election, d:c. In tho proviso, which
iVr.G, has not accurately remembered, the Words
used are, “ Provided, no certificate 'or commission
ahull issue until satisfactory proof ia produced that
tho tax of such person ha* been regularly paid at
abovo mentioned, nnd that he has actually had thi
residence herein prescribedthat is, the residence of
an inhabitant for Nuoe years proceeding his tlection—
** Jin actual residence/ at the time ofl//c election, and.
actually hating the residence prescribed by the tttat
uto, of tlirco years inhabitancy, aro not oquivulont
things. Mr G uses them as equivalent, and thus cro
atos the necessity lie supposes tno committee labored
under to report against my light to a seat under tile
act of Georgia. This necessity, however, would not
hnvo existed had the statute corresponded with his
statement.
A representative nf tlio United States in a foreign
country, while absent from this country, lias an actual
residence iri the State to which he belongs, as com
plotely as a Representative in Congress from the State
while pet forming personally Ins Julios in Washington
for half the yoar. Wh in in Madrid on official duty,
I was as much an inhabitant, as actually a resident of
Georgia, aa Mr. G. now is while in Washington, as a
Representative from tin* State.
His examination of tin Clerk’s office ofthe House
of Representatives, authorises inn therefore to repeat
that Mr. Gilmer was mistaken in supposing my right
to a seat, ucdot the act of Georgia, was ttv«i ques
tioned in the House of Representatives, or that I wh*
ever the subject of an adjudication in that body, in
which the provisions of our statute wwro brought in
to vicwjfor diacussionor decision—The question made
in the case quoted by him was on the piovisioua of
the constitution, and it was decided ixdusictly on
constitutional grounds.
Mr Gilmer suppose* me to have denied his stnto-
nient, tiiat according to the opinion and practice of
former Governors, tho provisions of the election law
wore unconstitutional, inasmuch e* I affirm that the
law lias been complied with so a* io render decisions
by former Governors unnecessary, and tlmt the prac
lice of no Governor sustains his assertion except
G«n. Clink’s ; and in answer, offers to acknowledge
that he has erred if 1 will give to the public the cop
ic.B of the proofs of eligibility which the member* o(
Congress produced to Governor Troup during his ad
ministration- -Had I made any assertion absut tin?
practice of former Governors ns to the proofs of oli
gibility, I should with great pleasure make public ul)
tho documents in relation to them placed in the of
fice during Gcvcrnor Troup’s administration—But re-
furing only to the procisions enforced in .Mr. G's
case the practices and opinions of former Governors
in regard t*» that point alone wero brought into view—
The examination of the records and files of the do
partment was mtido to ascertain the practice on that
point, and the letter of Mr Pierce relates to i*, exclu-
Bivcly—the public did noil hope misunderstand my
purpose It is nd improbable tlmt lie, Mr (
red Commissions may have issued to person* who
have not furniphed proofs of the payment of their
taxes and of \\ years inhabitancy* of :lie State, and
commissions under such circumstance* may have been
issued during the late administration. Former Go
vernors mav have thought the law in these provision
unconstitutional, and might therefore consider them
selves authorized not to regard them-—I shall act dif
ferently ; actuated hy a belief that a rigid adherence
to nil parts of the law will put persons Heeled to but
little inconvenience and cannot deprive them ol any
rigid ; nnd from an unwillingness to disregard any
j part of the statute which has received the usual sane
| turns of the Stti.o and been in operation for thirty
years. To return to the disputed point—there is tin
error committed in u former address which I take this
occasion to correct—when *1 wrote it I was net ap
prized of any decision having been made hy (owner
Governors on the point involved in Vr. G s case-- the
opinion expressed hy Gen. J tekson tn his correspon
dence with the Attorney and {Solicitor General in tlm
case of Go). Taliaferro, was found alter the Address
was pieparod for the press, and in the hands ol the
printer- -ns that opinion i* before the public, I should
naked, when tlm winter hlaHtu require clothing and a
ahelterfforo their freezing offoeks, and hungry, when
the aoasous ibrow obstacles in th* way of finding the
coarsest food, appeal oftentimes in vain, lor nomnusi
entlton and asHstiywe, aim alter all suffer the horrors
of starvation and cold, among those who cry aloud in
ihd name of humanity for the erminuipation of th<-
slaves! I* il iho name only of slavery wlimli is no
abhorrent to our sensitirr. uorihurn brethren ? Ii
must be so. If wo were to aboliA slavery* Urn same
spectacle which m- Ols llm eye of the traveller in ihe
north, Would be seen in the fiuuili. N’jliedm-ss arid
siarvntiou would ho wiuiesaed almost every where.
Ballpens:!) would add its utils to those which an irn -
mcdi iti emancipation of the clave* would produce.—
And the t ;x*'s, which are now light and cheerfully
paid, Would iucrcQAtt to an ouoruiou* amount, in or
der to dttfrt&y iho expenses of the support of iho pun
pertt, and for the luaintonauctt of tin * ifectiva police
to protect the live* and dwellings of ihtt eiuzan*,
from the depredations of (lit vicious and idle We
have as yet no paupers; lions of the people uf tho
South, whether white or black or yellow, tuS in dun-
gar of starvation or dying of cold. The sluvoa nro
a contented Hass of being* ; having no cares ; fur
nished hy their masters with good clothing and food ;
and obliged to work moderately. But, say our nor
thern brethren, they are slavos. Yes, rhsy nro slaves.
But is it not better that they HmulJ he alavos, have
plenty to eat, be comfortably clothed, and work mod-1 n *'»
erately, than tube free, nnd starve or he frozen to ‘ J 1 ’
death in wintet ? Would our slaves change their lot
with many of our uorthoru hreiltern, who are free,
:l they were to tawte for a few months the comforts
they enjoy, with the appellation at freemen ?
Wo wish to remove the oviI of slavery from our
country. Ourselves only can effect that desirable ob
ject We feel that evil, and suffer continually from
it But it is such an one ns wo must boar with pa
tience, until we are able lo remove it. In the mean
time, we cannot allow men, who do not fctl the el- j y meicU ' lillo Ul '
