Thit very tariff, so much abuaeil by the locoa through-
oin the Union, has been iuatrumcntal in telieving the
Feih'r.l Government from heavy respuiiiibilitio«, and,
erelong, it will be the proud boast of our people, that
tlir Nalien i« once more free from debt. And now, let
il be reraeniberud, that tho Democratic Party itself, in
C njrcss assembled, has paid, by its act, this just tri-
♦ r.cto Whig measures—for with the power to re
peal -.vital their newspaper organs and stump speaker*
pronounce, an oppressive measure, they sanctum the
act,by refusing, not only to repeal it, but to subsli;uto
another in its place. Of the wisdom and good policy
„f whig measures, needs there <-„Yher p r0of lha|J lhis ,
If BO, enquire of yourpubl.-,, ageuts by what process an
exhausted National j'reasury was replenished 1 by
nhitproeess th'. sickly credit of the National Govern-
ratnt w»- restored to health 1 —by what process were
>°’jr Treasury noies redeemed, your drafts honored
and your debts paid 1 The auswor must be—the Whigs
did it all.
If we turn our attention to our State Government,
to our own home affairs, we have the same tale to tell—
ibe same facts for the people to remember. Il was a
Whig administration that restored spccio payments at
ibe Treasury. It was a Whig administration that
placed Central Bank money at par. It was a Whig
administration that raised Georgia securities from a
depreciation, disgraceful to the character of our State
and placed them upon a par with those of other specie
psying States. It was a Whig Legislature that re
iluced the pay of members, and saved the Slate $10,
000 by so doing. It was a Whig Legislature that gave
to Iho people what they long duinanded, the Congress
ional district system. And it was a Whig administra
lion that paid $113,000 of the public debt, ere il had
been in power three months. These are facts, stubborn
fads, which the people of Georgia cannot but remoin-
ber.
Contrast then, the acts of tho Whig Party when in
power, either in the State or Federal Government, with
Democratic arts, and how favorable to the Whigs will
be the comparison. The history of each shows that
the action of the Democratic Party is strictly deslruc-
lire, and that of the Whig Party, preservative and re
etorative. The one seems to be either incapable of
governing, and taking care of tho truo interests of the
people, or are wilfully neglectful of duly, and with the
means of the government, bent alone upon maintaining
party supremacy. In charity, we would prefer assign
ing the former, as the true cause of their nial-adinlins-
tration, but facts influence us to assign it to the latter
cause. At the election then, in October and Novem
her next, we feel certain that the mal.ndministralion ol
the governments, both Slate and Federal, by the Demo
crate, when in power, will be remembered by tho voters
of Georgia—and that the wise measures of the Whig
party will rally to its cause, not only every true heart
ed Whig in the Stale, but many, very many of the lion
eat Democratic yeomanry, who, from old party associ
aliens, have thus far acted against the true interests ol
the whole people. We hail the prospect as a bright
one, and hope that success, which is certain, will soon
restore that prosperity to the country which is so much
needed—that soon the Farmer’s produce, tiie mechan
ic's labor, and the merchant’s enterprise, will receive
each its due reward. Let it be remembered, that
was so in past times, and that a proper adininistratipn
of our National and State Governments, particularly in
regard to the currency, can restore the good old ord
of things.

It will bo seel) from the above, whence this deceptive
publication emanates. As soon as it was presented to
our notice, we determined to expose its duplicity to our
readers. This we felt bound to do, because, at our so
licitation, several gentlemen of first respectability, in
this city, had examined the Journals, and had kindly
furnished ns with a certificate to sustain Dr. Miller
in his charge against Mr. Polk, of voting against Revo-
lulionary Pension bills, and which charge, Mr.Lump
kin had denied, calling upon Dr. Miller to produce the
proof. But we have been saved all this trouble, by Col.
A. II. Kenan’s publication, which will fallow this arti
cle, and to which we call the reader’s attention. In il
the garbling of the Ohio Editor is exposed, and his
repeated suppression of facts, connected with Mr. Polk’s
votes plainly shown. In no political contest that we
have ever been engaged, has there been half so much
of this kind of conduct, on the part of the Democratic
press, as in the present. Wo regret to say it, but it is
our duty to do so, that for suppression of facts—for per
version of the truth—fir malignant and unprincipled
slander of Mr. Clay, iho present contest surpasses all
others. We can scarcely pick up a democratic paper
in which, either an origininal, or extracted article, docs
not appear, teeming with foul calumny, and wilful mis-
representation. A cause must bo hopeless, indeed,
that rt quires such props.
[EOR TIIE OEOIIUIA JOURNAL.]
Mil. FOLK AND Ills VOTES UPON THE SOL
DIERS’ PENSIONS.
Mr. Editor :—lu the last number of tho Fedor-
al Union 1 notice the publication of an article, taken
from tho Boston Post, and headed "Calumnies Refu
ted I”
I have carefully examined and compared the dates
and references given, with tho Journals of Congress,
and furnish you the following result of my investiga
tion. Tlte records are of file itt the Archives of your
capilol, and can be seen by all who may bo desirous to
investigate for themselves. The facts as given dial
lenge dental. Here, too, it will be found upon record
that James K. Polk voted against the claims of the mil
tia of the Stale of Georgia for services rendered during
the years 1792,1793, and 1794.
Upon tho Bill of 182(1, James K. Polk voted as sta.
ted, to wit.—against Mr. Mitchell’s motion lor tho
postponement of the further consideration of the hill ol
182(1, until the first Monday in July. And he also vo-
ted to amend the above mentioned hill, so as to provide
for tlte "widows of officers and soldiers who fell or died
in tho revolutionary war.”
From Mr. Puik's voles against tho postponement of
this bill until July, and for ils amendment, the editor at-
tempts lo paltn upon the country tho false inferences,
that he tints voted as the friend of the revolutionary sol
dier's bill, in order the better to sustain it. Well, lot
us follow this bill to the final action had upon it, and
see how Mr, l’elk there voted—for it is this Inst vole
that determines his support or oppisilion to the bill.
The Editor m giving Mr. Polk’s votes slops at page
003, winch gives hut the partial action of the House
upon the bill; but trace its filial destiny lo pages 504
and 595, and you will find JAMES K. POLK voting
not to • sustain the bill," but voting to commit it to tin
Committee tm military J’vlltions—thus drfvaliig the
bill, by taking it from tho control and action of the
House, and sending it bach to a committee, from which
it uevor emerged! Tlte vote upon its commitment
being yeas 90, nays 83—Janies K. Polk voting in the
affirmative! Why, if the Editor wished to give the
truth, and the whole truth, did ho nut publish this last
vote ! Evidently, that he might deceive ami mislead, by
the partial and garbled statements of Mr. Polk’s votes,
January ltltli, 1827 .—Upon tho bill for the relief of
the surviving officers ol the army of the Revolution, Mr.
Polk voted as stated by lltu Editor, against Mr. Wood’s
motion to lay it upou the table. And, on the same day,
ho voted against a motion to postpone the consideration
ol the bill until the 3d of March. This is true as far as
it goes j but hero, as upon tho other bill, a gross decep-
lion ts attempted, by not publishing Mr. Polk’s subse
quent voles upon the same bilk
Following up Ins votes, the reader will find that Mr.
Burges moved to recommit tho bill to a committee ol
the Whole House, and make it the order of the day, for
to-morrow. Mr. Polk voting against the motion—yeas
97, nays 92 ; pages 170aud 171.
On the22d January, Mr. Burges moved that the or
der, of the day which precede tlm bill for llio relief ol
the surviving officers of the army of the Revolution,
bu postponed, uml that tho.llouio do now resolvo itsell
into a committee of the Whole House on the said bill ;
and tho question being taken thereon, it passed in Hie
affirmative—yeas 93, nays 77- JAMEts K- POLK
voting NO I pages 192 and 191.
On the 2Uof January, Mr. Burges again moved ihui
the several orders of Iho day winch precede the Ink for
the relief of the surviving officers of the army of the
Revolution, bo postponed, and that the Houae do now
again resolve itself into a Commitleo of the Whole
House on that hill} and the question on being put was
lost, yeas 87, nays 88. JAMES K. POLK voting NO !
pages 207 and 308-aml here ttrtuinated the fate of the
Revolutionary Soldiers’ bilk by the casting me of
JAMES K. POLK ! 1 Can these votes, reader, by any
torture or perversion of construction, bs made lo con
vey the ides or inference that Mr. Polk was voting lo
iuHani the bill.
On the 35th of February, 1829, ife Editor ssft, "The
question being on the passage of a' bill to amend “ An
set to provide for certain persons engaged lo the land
and naVsl servioo of the U.States, in the Revolutionary
War, Jamei K. Polk voted In favor of the bill.”
Let me ask if this can, by any perversion, be held up
se evidence or James K. Polk’s votes fn favor of pensions
to tint Revolutionary soldiers 1 It lie hero voting for
• bill to gire pensions lo iho Revolutionary soldiers, or
is lie not voting for a bill to amend an act to provide for
certain porsona, Ac.!—and does the Editor give us the
features of his bill of amendment J It must have been
too objectionable, for we find that it did not paea, and
that Col. Riciiabd M. Johnson voted against it in lha
Senate.—Journal of the Senate, 1829, p. 148.
Wo are told by the Editor that Mr. Polk voted in the
affirmative oil tho motion to grant penBiont to thoao
who defended our frontiers in 'tho Indian Wars, from
1770, up lo (he Treaty of Greenville, in 1795”—so ho
did ; but, reader, ha. was not here voting upon tho
pasango of uny bill, but simply upon an amendment to
llio bill of 1832, which bill Mr, polk voted against whon
put upon its final passage—pago 095, and G9G|; yeas
1:0, nays 48.
Contrast ihc-so facts, with the delusive impressions
attempted to he given by the Editor. Thus, lie says,
pass ing on from the year 1829,
But later, viz : in 1832, James K. Polk succeeded
in getting a law passed, a liberal and just law, the one
under which the old soldiers now receive tlioir just re
ward.”
In House of Rep., Tuesday, May 1st, 1832. On mo-
tion to grant pensions to those who defended our fron
tiers in tho Indian wars from 1770 up to the treaty of
Greenville, in 1795, James K. Polk voted in the afiir*
motive,—House Jour.. 1st sess., 22d Cong., page 078
(and not as quoted by the Editor 673.)
Frum the above, it is grossly and falsely altcmptei 1
to make the reader believe that JamesK. Polk voted fo r
this kill of 1832, when the record proves that allhougl t
lie voted for amendments to it, he voted against its pas
sage— pages as before given, 695 and 690.
Passing to the next and last statement of the Editor,
to wit:
"In House of Rep., Thursday, May 24th, 1832. Tho
question being on ordering to a third reading the bill
from the Senate, supplimentary to the Act for the relief
of certain surviving officers and soldiers of the Revo,
lution, James K. Polk voted in tho affirmative!" True,
lie did vote for ordering the bill to a third reading, and
for tho previous question—hut when previously, upon
the same day, the test vote was taken, as to putting the
previous question, which was ordering the bill to a third
reading, we find Mr. Polk voting against it—yeas 90,
nays 74—finding that notwithstanding his opposition,
llio question, fur tho main question, mould prevail, ho
changed his vote, and voted lor llio main question’s be-
ing put—pages 792, ’93, and ’94 and, on the 31st of May>
lie adhered to his last vole. Thu kill when put upon
its passage was determined in the affirmative, but there
were no yeas and nays taken. This is the history from
tho record of this last hill ; and who,let me ask, front his
previous votes upon similar bills, and from his opposite
votes upon this hill, when too there were no yeas and
nays taken upon its passage, can say that Janies K.
Polk voted lor it! It would indeed be stretching ere-
dulity in the very face ol his previous votos !
But what plea or answer will be made to the revolu.
tionary soldiers of Georgia, and their descendants, for
Mr. Polk’s vote against their claims, for services ren-
dered during the years 1792, 1793 and 1794!
By reference to the Journal of the House of Repre.
sentatives, Fob. 19i|>, 1827, pages 312,313, and 814, you
will find the following;
“ Tho House proceeded to consider the amendments
reported from the committee of the whole House on tho
state of the Union, to the bill making appropriations for
the military service for tho year 1827, when
Several of said amendments were concurred in ; and
the question was stated to concur in that amendment
which proposed lo insert in said bill the following item :
"For the settlement of the claims ot the militia oftho
State cf Georgia,fur sotviecs rendered during the years
1792, 1793 and 1791, agreeably to the estimate of Con-
slant Freemen, and to be paid under the sanction of the
Secretary of War, $129,375 00.”
The yeas and nays being tnken upou this amendment
are yeas, 102, nays TS—James K. Polk voting against
it! pages313 and 314.
I have thus furnished you a transcript, from the re
cords, of the votes of Mr. Polk upon Revolutionary pen
sions—with dates and pages, subject to the examination
and scrutiny of all. I propose that the Whigs and Dent,
ocrats of our county incut ou Saturday the 31st inst. at
the Court-house, at 2 o’clock, P. M. at which time I
will have with mo the records above referred to--and
tender free investigation and discussion.
Respectfully,

exception of yourself, when asked for ihe expenditures
of the (jovemment, would think of evnding tho gross
amount expended, by giving tho exjiendilures of the “ad
ministration proper !” Do* you find any »uch term, even
in Mr. W oodhury ’u table 1 The Secreiary of the Trea

In a second, column, the"siggregale amount independent
of ihe pa /moots on account of the public debt, whether
funded or unfunded. In the third column, the aggre
gate a mount for jicrmancnt and ordinary purposes, rx-
cludit.ig payments on account of objects either exlraor-
dinexy or temporary.” In this last subdivision of cx-
f ei jdituros, wo find that iho expenditures of Mr. Vun
\ aren's administration for permanent and ordinary pur*
! roses were thiitecn millions and upwards annually. 13ui
( Iocs I his table give us tho tho ivholc amount of tho an
il ual disbursements from tho Treasury during the ad-
i. .1 inietration ! clearly not, by twenty tiro millions amiu-
a .)lv!
When the people demand to know tho amount of the
annual expenditures of their Government, is it proper to
reply to them that the amont of tho Administration
“proper” is but thirteen millions? or in it proper to give
i diem the who!e amount, whether for permanent and ordi-l
nary or for extraordinary and temporary purpose* ? It is
die amount, the gross amount, that they aru anxious to
tee, irrespective of your technical subdivision. Hut
Mr. Johnson, in speaking of expenditures “proper,” do
you intend to exempt the President from the responsi
biiity of prodigal and extravagant expenditures for ex
Iraordinary and temporary purposes f Is not the Presi-l
dent’s responsibility the same 1 Do not all appropria
lions and expenditures require his sanction? Why!
then do you attempt a lino of different responsibility !
U is for the extraordinary and temporary items of ex
penditure that I should think the President, as the Head
ol the Government, should bo held strictly responsible
—for it is through those channels that the money is
squandered. It wou'd bo a singular account of stow,
ardship, for the President to say, when asked by the
people, what had beeomcoftho money in their Treasury,
that he was responsible for but “thirteen millions projtcr,”
when in fact thirty five millions, had been expended !
The people would any, “figures cannot lie” but figuring
. Iocs. In your views, upon this branch of your subject,
y ou seem to imitate the sculptor who, in chiseling, ar-
ri vesat ultimate perfection, not by what ho adds, but by
w hat he lakes away !—Passing on to the next discove
ry in your production, you state that the item of “ pubA
\lic debt” which is found charged in the 1st year of Mr.
V an Huron’s administration ; “existed under the preccd-
I in g administration, — nml gravely ask if it is fair to set
it down as part of Mr. Van Ituren’s expenses 1 Are you
se nous, sir, in the assertion that Gen. Jackson left the
Go veminent in debt! It ia a little singular that you
Isle auld niako this assertion in tho face of Secretary
VV oodbury’s exhibit H. Nothing certainly would bcl
m< ire calculated lo disturb tho repose of tho Old llerol
m^tlie Hermitage, than this incautious charge. No

TO II. V. JOHNSON, Esq., alias ‘WOOUIJIJ HYP
Sir :—You will allow tnt* the liberty of withdrawing
from your brow the Woodbury mash ; while I notice ait
article over that signature in the Federal Union of the
Gilt iiiot.
l*i seizing the pen, under the mask of “ciphering
Levi,” alter having retirod from tlte discussion, you re
mind me of the man in the anecdote, “who having ex
hausted Ins wit, continued lo write.”
The production ot “Woodbury” is of that kind of
silly weakm. 1 sri, that, on any other subject, 1 would let
it pass in siicnce ; but when it is attempted by such a
tissue ol contradictory and absurd misrepresentations to i ^ A||
assail the veracity of Mr. Clay’s statement upon the ex- RJ -° "
penditures of the Government, during Mr. Van Bu*
ren’s administration, I cannot permit it to pass, even
under its disjointed feebleness, without reprehending
the spirit and intent ion with which it was written ; al
though the thing, in itself, has not the consistency in
narrative to deceive.
In the discussion to which you refer, I staled that
the expenditures of tho Government, under Mr. Van Bu-
rou’ri administration Amounted to an annual average of
935,640,000. You called lor the proof—l read you the
following tabic Irotn Mr. Clay's speech delivered m t te
Senate of the U. 8. m 1813. page 533, vul. 3.
“What then, (pays Mr. Clay) were the expenditures
of the lour years of the past administration/
In lb3? the amount was $37,305,037 15
In 1«3S it was 30,455,438 35
lu 1839 it was 37,014,930 15
In 1810 it was 38,330,533 81

I called upon you lo take your pencil and make the
calculation and you would find il correct. I gave you
the Vo!, and page—and your reply was that I “could
prove any thing from Mr. Clay's spiech !”
With this statement read and reiterated to your face,
you, an the “correspondent.” state, in the number of tho
Federal Union preceding tho production of Woodbury,
that “Col. Kenan's quotation of Mr. Clay’s statement of
the annual expenditures of thirty eight millions ! will
be corrected, &c.
lu your promised correction over tho signature of
W«)odbury, you say that “Col. Kenan asserted on the
authority of a quotation from ono of Mr. Clay’s speech-
es, made during tho campaign of 1840 that tho average
expenditures of Mr. Van liurcn's administration, for
the years 1937, '38 and *39, was 835,1100,000.” “The
quotation alluded to, was adduced as matter of proof,
id he defied successful contradiction.” "It is the
eight of Mr.Clay’s name a!oue, which has been brought
i sustain so erroneous a charge, that entitles it tn grave
reply.” "For it will be remembered by all that Col.
Kenan offered no other proof of its truth than the ex
tract alluded to.” What conceit and self complacency!!
By wny of sustaining your promises, to tho public, of
Mr. Clay’s misrepresentation of the 835,000,000 annu
ally expended, you furnish the following table;
“ Aggregate amount of expend.turos or payments of
every kind from the Treasury.
1837 . . 837,265.037 15

Herr. Sir, you have furnished, with a slight
variation in 1839, the identical table and figures
for the years 1837,1838 and 1839, which were read
from Mr. Clay’s speech ! ! nnd yet you say his state
ment had no “proof” lo sustain it!!! By your own ta-
