Again! A memorial to Congress in fnrthnr-
auce of this subjeot was prepared by a meeting
of the citizen* of Albany, during the anmoyoar
1h which tho abovo resolution was passed. Mr.
Van Buren gavoMho following reason* for not
signing it in a lotter of which an extrnct follow*:
“ Sir, you had my permission to use my name on
a comm itce, to call it meeting of our citizens, to ex
press their opinion on the Missouri question, and the
propriety of your doing so has not been questioned by
me. You surely cannot suppose that the ttse of my
name for that purpose, imjwcd <m me an obligation
to sign whatever memorial might be required by the
meeting. Beino out of town when it was
HEl.D, AND HAVING NO HAND IN FOnMINQ AND A-
DOPT1NO THE MEMORIAL, I DECLINED SIGNING IT,
—See Holland’s Lire of Van Buren.
It is apparent then that Mr. Van Buren did
noljobjcct to the principle hut declined sipiing tho
memorial for other reasons which nre expressed.
Now it is proved clearly that whatever Mr.
Van 13uren may say at tin* time, he did vole in
the SeuateoP New York iu favor of instructing
the Seuators and Representatives in Congress in

* OThe returns come in so fast, our majorities
are so overpowering, that we made some errors

mode against ourselves; they are corrected to day.
The truth is, that we have no time to attend to
these things. W e have the din of carpenters

Mexico.—All is in confusion in this unhappy
country. As soon ns we hear of any results we
will communicate them to our readers.
ICf’We'are informed that there are still among us
respectable citizens, who actually think thnlCen.
Harrison has not made the sacrifices which we
posert he has made, in favor of Southern rights,
and lhatifr. Van Buren did uot, as has been as
serted again and again, while in the Senate of
New-York, vote in favor of the Missouri resolu
tioui. The Extra Globe itself is authority oftlie
lowest kind., but from a number of that pnper of
June ICtii, 1840, we extract what follows:
“ The attention of the Legislature of New-
York was also subsequently culled to the subject
by the message of Governor Clinton, at the com
mencement of the session, and an expression of
“ ,e,r opinion in regard to it earnestly tecom-
mended. A resolution to that effect was intro-
aupod in tlio House of Assembly by a friend of
the State Administration, and was-passed by that
7 b h re *° ,ulion wus sent to the Senate,
01 which Mr. Van Buron was a member, and
yas there also pawed, but without division or de
bate. Mr. Van Buren bud no agency in bring
ing the subject before the Legislature. He was
present when it passed, but did not participate
farther in the matter than is here suited.”
It is here concede! that the resolution passed
without' a division or debate—that is—unani-
piously. Why did not Mr. Van Buren stand up
u Gen. Haraison did in the Legislature of Ohio
in defence of Southern rights 1
“ Now wo will exomine die vote of Martin
Van Bttrfji upon the Missouri question. The
following is the New-York preamble mid resolu
tion:
‘Whereas the inhibiting the further extension
or Slavery in the Uttilsd'Olutes, is a subject of
n couoern to the People of the United States:
whereas we consider Slavery us an evil
muob.to be deplored, and Hint every Constitu
tional burner should he interposed to prevent its
further extension: AND THAT Till*''CON
STITUTION OF TI1E'UNITED STATES’
ices CONGRESS t’t-: right to rt n -irao\
’’ATESnot comprised j./u;: r' i<riiiul
of these United Stutcs the pro!, it tian of
- , % a* a condition of their ad&unwn into the
Muon. Therefore,
* Resolved, (If the honorable Senate concur
therein,) That our Senator bo instructed, and
our Representatives in Congress be requested to
““pose the uduiissioii ns a State, Into the Union,
any Territory not comprised, us nforesuid,
making the prohibition of Slavery therein an
SPENDABLE CONDITION oTAD.MIS*
cured in the possession of bet uegro property by
a solemn treaty made with France wheu dial ter
ritory was purchased. When her population was
sufficiently great she asked-to bo admitted into
die Union, and Mr. Van Burex's vote proposed
to exclude her from that Uuion, unless she would
relinquish forever her right to hold sluvos. This
was a public net of Mr. Van Buren and no falla
cy can conceal, no reasoning disprove it. This
vote of his will never cease to bo regarded as a
blemish on his polit cal character which will cause
the Soath to view him with increasing distrust.
A man whose heart is true to Southern interests,
and who comes and asks Southern votes, should
be able to make it appear that at all limes, in nil
situations, he has advocated the interests of the
South from principle aloue.
Now what was Mr. Van Buren's conduct
when a member oftlie United States-Senate in
1822, in relation to the Florida restrictions 1 By
referring to the Republican four or five weeks
back, the whole subject will be seen. The Bill
introduced into Congress for which Mr. Van Bu
ren voted, was prejudicial in every regard to
Soudiern rights. It is true, that it permitted a
planter to go to Florida and carry slaves with him
if he intended to remain there. And a person
passing through tho territory could take two
slaves with him as servants, but this same bill pro
hibited a Georgia planter from settling a planta
tion in Florida, provided be continued to reside
iu Georgia, or in other words his slaves would
have been free the moment their feet were placed
on Florida soil, unlesstheir masters went there to
reside. And again, the same bill shut up to
Georgia the Florida market, because iCsIaveshad
been sent there to be sold, they were free from
the day on which they entered the Territory.—
Now these things have been stated before, fully
and explicitly, and we ask, are we not entitled to
be believed when we state facts. We wish no
Georgian .totuke our word or any man’s word,
for these assertions, but let every one examine
carefully and dispassionately fur himself. Be
lieving no one, giving credence to no statement
of Uiose interested, let each citizen of this State
take tip the subject for himself, and decide for
himself. We point out to you the documents,
see the record of the United Stales Senate in
1822, see the Journal of the Nk»v York Legisla
ture. when Mr. Van Buren voted against the in
terests of Missouri. It in a subject near tiie heart
of every Georgian—it behooves every one to ex
amine it carefully, to see whether in realty Mr.
Van Buren has the claims to the support oftlie
South, which interested politicians pretend he
has.
As it may not be convenient for all our read
ers to consultthe documentary evidence bearing
on this case, we give the following extract from
the Journal of the Senate :
Iu 1822 the Bill for the establishment ofa Ter
ritorial Government in Flurida being before the
Senate,-the following proceedings took place, us
appears from tho Journal:
••The Senate resumed, us in committee oftlie
whole, the consideration of the Bill for the estab
lishment of a Territorial Government in Florida:
and the bill buying been amended, it was report
ed to iho House accordingly—and on the ques
tions concur in the amendment to the liiii sec
tion, to strike out all offer the word •freedom’ in
the 14ih line thereof, the residue ofsuid section as
follows:
‘No slavo or slave* shall, directly or indirectly,
be introduned into the said Territory .except by a
citizen of the U. Stales removing into said Territo
ry for actual settlement, and being at the time of
such removal, bona fide owner of such slave or
slaves; or any citizen of the U. States travelling
into said Territory with uny servuut or servants,
not exceeding two; and every slave imported or
bronghtiiito the said Territory, contrary to the
provisions of this act, shall thereupon be entitled
to and receive his or her freedom.”
It was determined iu the affirmative, yeas 23
uays 20.
The yeas ond nays being desired by one-fifth
of the Senators present, those who voted iu the
affirmative are—
Messrs. Burbour, of Vo., Benton of Missouri,
Brown, ofLou., D’Wolf, ofR. I, EatonofTonu.,
EllioJ, of Geo, Gillard, of S. C., Holmes, of Me.,
Johnson of Ky., Johnson, of Lou., King, of Ala.,
Lloyd, of Aid., Macon, of N. C., Noble, of iu.
Pleasants, of Vir., Smith, of3. C., Southerland,
ofN.J., Stokes, ufN. C., Van Dyke, of Del.,
Walker, of Ala., Ware, of Geo., Williams, of
M iss., W illiams.of Ten.
Those who voted in ihc affirmative are:
Messrs. Barton, of Mo., Boardmau, of Con.,
Brown, of0», Cbajidler, of Mo., Dickerson, of
N. J., Fimlly, of Pu., Mobiles, of Me., King, of
N. Y., Knight, of It. 1., Lummun, of Con. Low-

or Muss., Palmer, of Ver., Parrot, of N. II ,Rug-
files, of O., Seymour, of Ver., Thomas, of ill.,
VAN BUlvEN,ofN. Y.
We say again, if we cannot be believed, let any
one who doubts, take up tlio subject in a proper
temper, and ascertain the facts for-himself.
We shall not allude at this time to Mr. Van
Buren’s admission ofNegro testimony on the tri
alo f Lt. Hook at Ityliiftebla—uor to his veto in
favo£offreo Negro*suffrage in N York. These
jectshave been laftiQr presented to our read
ers.
Now what is the conduct of Gen. Harrison
on these suuio questions. Why, it is diametri
cally opposite to tliut of Martin Van Buren.
We give you in proof, bis votes In Congress and
in the Senate of Ohio, and we refer you to his
loiters to Sherrod Williams and IIarmar Den-
nt, and to his Carthage, Cheviot and Vincennes
speeches; we refer yon to every act of his life
which is as plain os if written with a sunbeam,
and wo sny solemnly and In sincerity, that it Is
susceptible of proof, that no citizen of tlm Ameri
can RepnbUo has made so many sacrifices for tho
South as William Henry Harrison, and we
farther sny, that our proof is as convincing as
proof can be;,that if an angel-wero to descend
ft-otn Heaven, commissioned to expose every act
of Harrison’s life touching his support of South
ern interests, tlio record oftlmtsuppo t could not
well bo made brighter and clearer than it is now;
and yot there are those among us, who affect to
believe that If Harrison is elected, slavo property
would bo i t danger. Can these men bo true A-
mericnnsT Con they believe what they wish their
compatriots to believe 1 Can any otto ho so mad,
so thoughtless, so reckless, nny so childish as to
mako tho extravagant assertions which we lmve%
heard attributed to seme Von Buren politicians T
Wo will not insult tlio good Reuse of this commu
nity by the supposition that even one of the sense
less accusations wo have hoard relating to thn
principles of tlio Whig party con-find u paternity.
Wo can excuse much iu-lhoso who are disappoint*
cd iu their expectation*, wo know that a minority
about to bo exlinguishod.is apt to tnnku fervent ap
peals &. to indulge in unlimited & bitter censure,
but wo will do our opponents the justice to bo-
lieve that they have never hurled against our pur-
ty thn wild .thoughtless, inconsiderate, onli-Aiuer-
can anathemas and denunciations which current
like a busy quidnunc has given them credit
Let us glanco a moment at Gen. Harrison's
conduct. We all know that be voted >in Con
gress in favor of admitting Missouri Into the U-
nion, without depriving her of her just claim to
hold slave property. No Vuti Buren press or
politician in thui titate lias had the hardihood to
deny it. His memorable and well authenticated
answer when told he would ruin himself if lie
voted with the South is os much a matter of his
tory as the veni, cidi, via, of Julius Ctrnr. He
has won honors in defence of Southern rights, of
which no arts,no misstatements can deprive him.
But in Congress the whole world was looking on
him,and in order to see his consistency, let its
follow the old patriot to Ohio, where he was more
removed from public observntiou—there he was
true to his Southern principles again, at a time
too whun he could never have expected to re
ceive the honors which the American people are
about to confer upon him.
We again present to our readers the proceed
ings of tiie Senate of Ohio, aud we make no
apology for tiie length of our articloaswe shall
not probably return again to this subject before
the election.
From the Journal of the Senate of Ohio—1819—20.
Saturday, January 1,1820.
“Senate met pursuant to adjournment. Mr.
Thompson moved the adoption of a Resolution
for the appointment of a Joint Committee to
draff a memorial to Congress on the subject of
admitting new States in the Union, the Constitu
tions of which authorized involuntary slavery.
And on motion, said resolution was committed to
a Committee of the whole Senate, and made the
order of this day.
Monday, Jan. 3d,|1820.
Tho subject being out of the Committee of the
whole, nnduow before the Senate, Mr. Tlynnp-
son moved the adoption of tiie following pream
ble and resolution:
Whereas the existence of slavery in our coun
try, has ever been deemed a great moral and po
litical evil, and in its tendency directly calculated
to impair our national character, and materially
affect our national happiness; and inasmuch as
theextentinn of a slave population in the United
States is fraught with the Wwt fenrfitFcon*eqmin-
ces to the permnrtiency and durability ofour Re
publican Institutions: and whereas the subject of
the admission of slavery iu the new State of Mis
souri, is at this time before the Congress of the
United States. Therefore
Resolved, by the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio,'That our Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress, be requested to use their zeal
ous endeavors to prevent the adoption of so odi
ous a measure.
On motion of Mr. Hnrrison to strike ont all
offer the word 'Resolved* in said resolution, and
iusert in lieu therefore die following:
‘‘That our Senators and Representatives be
requested to use their utmost exertions, and take
every means to prevent the extension of slavery
within the Territory ofthe United Slates, west of
the Mississippi, and the States to be formed with
in that Territory, WHICH THE CONSTITU
TION AND THE TREATIES MADE UN
DER IT WILL ALLOW/
On motion to strike out, the yeas were—
Brown, Furnass, HARRISON, Hooker, New
comb, Pollock, Kolib, Ruggle*, Shelby, Swear-
ineer ond Sullivan-—11.
vent the tidmisslon of Slavery in any^Slntoor
Territory of tiie Union, where Slavery does not
nx'jst, to prevent tho. farther extension where,
has been introduced, and that they be fiirtlior ro“
quested to oppose tho admission olany State into*
tne Union, unless the (briber axtensian of Slave
ry within such State he expressly prohibited.”
Mr. Lucas thereupon moved to disagree to said'
amendment; which motion was decided in thb af
firmative. Yeas, 18—Nays, 10. And the Yens
and Nays being required, those who voted in tho
affiriUiilivo were; Baldwin, Campbell, Fithiun,
Foos, Irwin, Jennings, Jones, Lucas, Mudonrd,
M'Luttgblln, M'Lonn, Robb, Russell, Simpson,
Spencer,Stone,Thompson,utid Triiuble, (Speak-
or 0
“ Those who voted in thn negative are,
Brown, Furnnss, HARRISON, Hooker,New
comb, Pollock,Ruggles, Shelby, Swearinger,and
Sullivan.
Tho second amendment related to the prenm-
bio, and was a modification ofthe original, which
I deem unimportant to copy. “ Mr. Lucas mov
ed to disagree to this second and last amendment
oftlie House, which was decided in the affirma
tive. Yoas, 16—Nays, 12.
“ Those who voted in tho affirmative were:
Baldwin, Campbell, Fitliinn, Foos, Irwin, Jenn
ings, Jones, Lucas, Madenrd, McLaughlin.McLnnn,
Robb, Simpson, Sponcer, Stone, and Thomp
son.
“Those who voted in tlio negative were:
Brown, Furnnss. HARRISON, Hooker. New
comb, Pollock, Ruggles, Russell, Shelby, Swear-
inger, Sullivan, and Trimble,. (8pcaker.)
If we exnmine these votes attentively .wq/Imf Gen.
1 HARRISON in furor of Missouri fay hi* amend
ment, that lost lie wonted to recommit; this Inst ho
voted ngniust the whole. On these last tico rotes this
alternatire was presented; hr.must rote ton nice, ordis
original resolution as ’ofreVetSThv- ^Hwmpsoi^b^
which HARRISON had approval throughout. To
bo coiisiscut, he must vote to ngren, or iu other
wards, the question being to disagree, he must tote
against it. And wo find him opposed to Thomp
son, Lucas, aud M’Latighiin, tiie restrictiouistsiu
every vote.
A committee of conforencc was appointed.—
“Saturday, 8th Jan. 1840. ou motion, the Sunate
then agreed to the conference requested by the
Honso of Representatives on the resolution a-
foresaid, and appointed conferees on their part of
Messrs. Lucas, Thompson uud McLaughlin,”
fRestriclionists.)
“Ordered tho Houso to be informed there
of.”
Here you find that those who were opposed to
Harrison on every vote, were on this Committee
on the pnrl of the Senate.
Thursday, Jan. 13.
“Mr. Lucas from the Joint Committee made a
report, recommending the adoption of tho follow
ing Preamble und Resolution m lieu of tiie orig
inal, and amendments:
“Whereas the existence of slavery in our coun
try must be considered a national calamity, os
well as a great’ political evil—
And whereas thn admission of slnvery within
tiie new States, or Territories ofthe U. States, is
fraught with-the most pernicious consequences,
and calculated to cndnngcr the peace aud pros
perity of our country,therefore,
“Resolved by the General Assembly of Ohio,
that our Sentors and Representatives in Con
gress ho requested to use their utmost exertions
to prevent the admission or introduction of slave
ry into any ofthe Territories of the Uinted 8tntes,
or nny new State that may hereafter be admitted
into tho Union.
The report wns ogreed to without the yeas and
nuys being ordered?’
Now, as much credit as Gen. Harrison merits
for his vote in Congress, he deserves infinately
more for his vote and amendment in the Legisla
ture ef Ohio. We find him there without the
most remote prospect of ever receiving any
thanks or reward at the hnnds of the South, in
terfering in everyway to preserve our rights, and
when he knew that opposition was hopeless
where so large a majority was arrayed against
him, we see him endeavoring to defeat the reso
lution or Gen. Thompson by n stratagem, by add
ing an umendmeut which would have'effectually
neutralised the object of that resolution. His
character borrows a tenfold lustre from this in*
stance of his perfect and sincere devotion to
Southern interests.
Wo now desire to call the attention of onr
readers to one /net. Tho Van Buren presses
throughout tho Union have endeavored to mis
represent tho conduct of Gen. Harrison iu the
Ohio Legislature, and to make it appear that his
vote there was adverse to Southern, interests aud
at variance with his vote in Congress on the same
subject. Instead of giving him credit for his
firm and uniform support of the rights ’guarantied
to us by the Constitution, which they should
have taken pleasure in doing, they have endea
voured to hunt him down and make it appear
that his vote in Ohio neutralised his vote in Con
gress. Some of the Van Buren papers in the
North have hud the ingenuousness to correct the
error—but will our readers'believe it T So far
AS WE KNOW NOT A Van BUREN PAPER IN GEOR
GIA HAS HAD THE CANDOUR TO COME OUT NODLY
AND DO JUSTICE TO THE FARMER OF NORTH Be.ND.

and udmilted as soon a* possible, according to
the principles of the Federal Constitution, to the

Failing in his amendment and in his motions to

would have restricted even Missouri in violation
of the above article of the treaty ofthe 30 th Sep

of raising the truth from “ the bottom of the welt'

ters, while following their ploughs. Political
tracts have been distributed everywhere, politi
cal lectures have been held every where by ora
tors of both parties. This is tho case not only in
this State hut in the U. Suites. Political infor
mation was never so universally distribute4asat
the present moment. Tho people of this vast
country havo more intelligence and a keener per
ception of the right than modern demagogues
huve given them credit for. The same spirit, tho
same blood, the same intelligence which achiev
ed our independence, and curried dismay and
death into the British ranks on the heights of
Bunker Hill and on the plains of Yorktown, nre
still awake, aud active and ready to redress again
tho wrongs of a auffering country. This is an
American spirit, coextensive with the extent of
our territory, confined by no harrier of mountaiiiH
or rivers, shut up by no local limits or Stute lines,
irrepressible, nay almost universal. Gen. IIai-
niso.N will have a Herculean tusk to perform—

THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAIL
ROAD.—No. 1.
It will bo remembered by those who read tlio
newspapers of the interior last summer, 6r no
ticed the proceedings of the Legislature last full,
that there was a difference of opinion as to tiie
termination of the Western ond Atlantic Raii
Rond; aud thnt these diverse opinions were press
ed with some warmth and zeal. So much so,
that the decision by the Legislature was made by
a very small majority. There is still some onxfr
ety ou this subject, and from tho rununSrs pre
vailing in the Cherokco country, there is every
probability that tlio subject will again be brought
before the Legislature—if not, as to tho termin
us—as* to the finishing of somo portion of
the Road, before the whole is graded. Or, (the
proposition is too disgraceful to Georgia to he
mentioned without comment) as to a sale of the
Road.
So many parties, os well without, as within tho
State, having considered their interests as greatly
depending upon this Rond, and having no doubt
entered into tiie strife to direct it as will best suit
their respective interests, it becomes a difficult
matter for those, who are so distant from the
scenes of uction as we nre, to determine who
pull tho wires, or which wires are pulled; yet
we can perceive enough to shew that Savannnh,
who has so miicn atstnke in this matter should bo
on the qui vice as well to protect the honor of tiie
Stale as her own interests.
It will be recollected that one proposition wns
to stop the Road at Cross Plains, in Murray
county, and let the Ilighwnssie Road from East
Tennessee unite with it at that point,nnd the Gun
ter’s Landing Road from Alabama and the Great
West, by means ofthe Coosa river and a branch
road from RoipetojoinjustaboveCasgville.—
A second proposition wns to unite with the High-
vvasso Rail Road at Red Clay, on the borders of
this State and Tennessee., A third proposition
was that the Road should be carried to the Ten
nessee River os was originally contemplated.—
This proposition was divided into two by the ad
vocates of Ross’ Landing and those of Vnnvillo,
(a position about fifty miles above Ross’ Land
ing) as the best point on the Tennessee at which
tho Road should terminate.
This subject will be continued.
? PUBLICOLA.
KTBy the steamboat Charleston, Copt. Don
ald, njjivcd last evening, we received tiie Charles
ton Mercury of yesterday, in anticipation of this
day’s Mail. TImt paper contains foreign intelli
gence received at Boston by tho British steamer
Caledonia, Cnpt. Cleland. Wo have made such
extracts ns our time and space would allow. The
latest commercial intelligence will be found un
der the proper head.
* The probability ofa war iu the Fastis still do-
lightfully uncertain.
A treaty of Comtnerco is about to be signed bo-
tween Franco ami England. This looks pacific.
Tiie London Times ofthe J8th September says
that military stores, &c. which havo left France
*or Egypt, will bo soized by Admiral Stopfofd,
who hus orders to that effect.
Allusion is mnde to a supposed collission be
tween tlio French and English off Syria, but theso
accounts want confirmation.
