KDWAIID J. III.ACK,
To his Constituents, and particularly to the State
Rights Parly of Georgia,
ICiiieitainifig no opinion I would conceal from
my constituents, conscious of having acted on nil
occusions in strict conformity w illt the political doc.
trines on which I was elected, uud abiding in the con
viction of the truth ol the great democratic principle
which subjects tin? Representative to the will of hi*
constituent, 1 fed it a duty imperative upon tin* to
give 9011)0 account of my ste ward ship here, and to
rehearse, as briefly as comports vv ith the magnitude
of the subject, the man tier in w Iticli I have dtecharg.
cd t lie trust you confided to my hinds, lam nd.
monished of the propriety of this exposition by the
indications which have lately reached me of nit ut.
tempt to obliterate the invaluable principles which
have heretofore characteris'd the State Rights pur.
tv, and by the evident tendency of such efforts to
merge the advocacy of measures m a blind opposi
tion to men.
Not to acknowledge the deep aversion and aux.
ious solicitude with which 1 have witnessed the
prosecution of these efforts, would be to affect an
inditrcrcncc l do not feel, and to assume a disingen.
tiousness as censurable as it is foreign to my char,
ncter. 1 am persuaded the enlightened people whom
I represent, if left to their own convictions of right
and w rong, would not require me to oppose any
lu&u who coincides with them in opinion, or lo ad.
vocatc another who is their political antipode. Sub*
scrviency to men has never characterized them, and
1 Itave yet to learn that they can be induced to aban.
don and deny their own well.rccoguised am) Icng.
cherished principles by waging war on a public func
tionary, who, whatever may have been his former po.
silio:i, is now with them in fact, upon almost every
prominent question which divides the country.
“ Principles and not men" w as once our governing
maxim, but, if 1 am not mistaken in tin* signs of the
times, there art: those among us who. for whatever
reason, arc willing to reverse that cardinal precept.
and for the sake alone of orrosiTioN, even though
the. causes which produced it are removed, are rca*
fly lo enrol themselves in the lists of our ancient uuJ
implacable udv*• rsnrics.
The meetings which have recently been held In
Mouror. at Macon Olid ill Augusta, have convinced
iuctlmt a fractional least of those with whom I have
heretofore linen associated art? determined to Imist
the Harrison "fingf and to advance him, and his
principles, to the highest office in the gift of the |H?o.
pic. In the resolutions which those inectiur* have
adopted I cannot concur; 1 cannot support William
H. Harrison for the presidency, and at (lie suiue
time preserve my political consistency. Tin? lat*
ter 1 will endeavor to do, although it may Is? at the
cost of political martyrdom ; for. however I appre.
date the honor of a scat in Congress, I infinitely
prefer that “ jieace of mind” which can alone result
from clean bunds, and a clear conscience. This
conclusion, not hastily attained, and the reasons
which induced it, I am bound in condor freely and
openly to declare, in order that no man may hereof,
after charge me with duplicity, or with niterepre.
seining the views and feelings of my consliuu uts.
In stating this conclusion and these reasons, I shall
seek to attack no one who may differ from me, nor
shall I impugn the motives of those who may deem
it their duty to wheel upon their position, and take
rank in a party which, since the days of Mr. Jeffer.
son, hove lieeii opposed to the doctrines upon which
that great man come into power. My object is #iin.
ply to vindicate myself from the charge o(misrepre.
senting those who elected ine, and to rescue my
character from the foul aspersion of abandoning tin-
principles which have heretofore marked nty politi.
cal career. Charge me with "imprarlieahUty." it you
please; denounce me for differing with a portion of
my party; abandon me as unlit to curry out the new.
ly.adoptcd measures of the Macon meeting; but do
liot censure me, as a State Rights man. for refusing
to aid in the election of General Harrison, until it
can b»' shown that it is lawful to separate the man
from his principles—to support the one, and reject
the other. While I leave it to others to reconcile their
present with their former position, it is a duty l owe
not onlyto myself, but to those of my friends who are
not Harrison men, lo demonstrate, by references
clear and indisputable, nay. by quoting our own re.
corded faith, that, however we may lie chargeable
with a want of pliability, we are guiltless of the sin
of political npostacy. Upon this question, to the
great mass of the voters ofGoorgia, and particular,
ly of my own party, 1 confidently appeal from the
hasty, unjust, and presumptuous judgment which a
few editors of newspapers in the towns and cities
have thought proper to pass upon me. For and in
the name of a whole party they have dealt out their
anathemas by wholesale upon me and those of my
colleagues who ventured to look beyond them and
their presses to UtB people. instead of submitting,
in their vocation, a mr journal of Amts to the lietter
judgment of their subscrilicrs and patrons, they
have presumed to arrogate to themselves the high
and important prerogative of arraigning mv motives
and condemning my acts. In pursuing this course,
ns dictatorial to the State Rights party as it has
been unjust lo myself, they present themselves in
strong contrast to the otter editors of the State,
who, w hatever their individual opinions may have
h-.*«»n, refrained from d* noinri-tg i’i •* lvan*« those
of my coliungues who differed wi'.u them, and wen*
content to leave tie- nuestiou of approval to the d.*n.
mon of tin? peofde. From this position,** n:di table in
