Without further preface I proceed to the ex. j aminaiion of the controversy. Mr. G. aves tv accused of having practised deception at the Lst elec tion for members of the legislature. To substantiate the ‘ barge, cerufi- ! Gates have been produ ed by Loi. Lyman from incu of ntgu standing in the county. To controvert the certificates of those gentlemen, vir.

Carnpb dl, a Clarkue, woo vas not a eandiUate. I’he reasons wbv he did no get a greater uumner of votes and I>r. P-.pe was uoi elccied, CJu v -.t be explained. As it was said before, the oounty is divided in two parties. That part of tite county which lies in the north, of which Mailorysville it. the central point, is inhabited generally by Clarkites : they are there in ihe ma jurity. That part lying in the soudi, and a little to the east and w*-t -f south, is inhabited by individuals friendly to Mr. Crawford, a-d are there in overwhelming majority. The other parts of the county are pretty weli divided At al! elecii oos, the north and south give the most votes; and at they turn out, decide the elections. Ii will readily he perceived, that if the citizens of one of those parts of the county re main at b me, theeleetion must be j carried by the other: so it wa* a‘ the last election, very few of (he vo ters from the s mth came to the poll; the day was carried by the Clark ites who turned out to a mao. Two points had been sorted at the beginning of (he last year, up on which the candidates for the le gislature had to give to the people t'ieir sentiments; the governor’s e lection, because a roumynian was a candidate, and the formation of a new county in that part of (be coun j ty inhabited principally by the j friends of Mr. Crawford. From 1 oour.ty pride, and a general respect ; for the private qualities of 1-apt. j Talbot, many citizens were in favor of his electi m to the gubernatorial chair, while many others, knowing Ihe influence the governor’s election would nave on the presidential ques tion, (Mr. Crawford, a Georgian, be ng a candidate for the presideo oy,) were willing to overlook (lie pr %a c qtiHlili a*ions of Capi. Tal b -i, and to have a known friend of M<- C awl’trd elected governor. . The Clark candidates had n<> rea j sons lo conceal *heir sentiments: I thuir hatred to Mr* Crawford was assurance enough that they w'*uld not vote, if elected t > the legisla ture, for Col. Trup. The Craw ford candidates bad to he more on their guard. They could not take a decided stand against Cipt. Tal bot, knowing the great respect gen- 1 erally entertained for him, and the i uncertainty of the feelings of thi* gentleman as regarded ‘he presiden- i fial question. Tlie Crawford can- j didates were determined not toeom- I prom*t the integrity of the farty, i nor the interest of Mr. Cra’-tford, j by too hasty declarations. Besides, it had been rumoured that Captaio : J’albot bad expressed himself in favour of Me. Crawford’s claims lo 1 the presideuoy. Al) these eonsiih- i rations led the Crawford candidate 1 to pause, ami to reflect upon whit was best to he done, to easure their 1 election, well aware that the Clac|- ; • tea would use all means In defeit i it. The report of Capt. Talbot hi- - viug declared himself in favor of \ Mr. Crawford, acquired more ai- i the ‘tioity by gentlemen of und mbt ed veracity in whose presence Cipt. , Ta>bot made the declaration. Mr. Graves was one of the Crawford who was more anxi >us t lrea Capt. Talbot come <*ul in . favor ol ?r Crawford. The inti- ! ma y which existed between i bis father and Capt. Talbot, and ! th i r espeet he bad entertained per- j sunally lor him. naturally led him j t j wish a coincidence of feelings in dr** to the pcesideoltal qup'-tion, it iot on other points. Thus mat ters flood af j ? private friends o? v*r, ficavcs, Clarkite->, asked him his opmiot) respecting the gov ernor’s election. The answers of Graves have never been a po sitive ast they were desired; and fbe reasons were obvious at the time, c. Graves ks*w (he report in Gr ula<io-., ihat Capt. Talbot had de eiared himself i j favor of Mr*Craw ford; he knew ibat a great many of p'.‘in ‘ai friends were opposed to C.ip’ •'■’hoi; be knew that the go ! ver or’ elc'iio i would have some I i (Ii t, eo is the nresidential ques. ;*i i : Vmbeto de lare himself po ! s"V-g i .5 favor of Captai i Talbot, i* - • k owing tlie T rutli of the i “cr> t) -evai'itig. that he was friend i !y ae elec.imi f M-’ C awford? W a he to forfeit the confideaue of his political friends by blindly sup po -tiag a man fop governor who had ever been the bosom friend of , Clark? r Vas lie lo put in je ip j a ly the asreoda >-,y the democratic’ i party was to acquire in the ensuing legislature, b promising to give his vote to one of i's eppa ten:* ? No. Some friends of Capt Taiboi, and on** who is distinguished for bis e . leer sneering faieoN, have ptibiioiy i said to some friend* of Mr. Craw i ford, and to me particularly, thai all (he of ihe comity ought ; to join ip favor nfCaph Talbot, fop l three was n > and *ubt, that if be were l elected governor, he w-mld support Oawfo | This v*a reported to ; Mr*. G ives But on the oilier j hand. I know positively* that a few i days before the election, Captain Talbot was asked whether he w mid ; support Crawford o** not. His an ! swer was, that he would nut b'.id himself. If then Captai* Talbot would not bind himself respeaiing the presidential election, how could people have the hardihood to require that Graves should have bouud him self in regard to the governor’s el ection? Mr. Graves would not bind himself; the respect be had | for Capt. Talbot, and the eotfld enre he had in those gentlemen who had heard the Captain declare kirn self in favor of Mr. Crawford, in dure him to believe that, though not political friends, yet being a soul hern man, Capt, Talbot would ultimately support Mr. Crawford for the presidency. These are the reasons, it is presumed, which led Mr. Graves to give evasive answers to those who inquired what were his sentimentt respecting the gov ernor’s election. Mr. Graves be lieved to the last moment, that Capt Talbot would declare himself publicly in favor of Mr,. Crawford; and lie would have voted for him if such declaration had been made. Sometime before and on the day of election* many Clarkites were beard to say, that they were cer tain Mr Graves would not vote for C pt. Talb t as governor. Under tliis impresion, and knowing that the friends of Mr. Graves living on Little river would not turn out j generally, the Clarkites put upon i their ti diets the name of Colonel Campbell, who was not a candidate, i but who had written to some friends ! here, while on his way to the Creek | Agency, that lie would serve if e i teeted. II Mr. Graves had been | supported by the Clarkites, bow comes it that Col. Campbell had on ly one vote less than Mr, Graves, j the only Crawford caodidate elected? How comes it that a great many cit izens did nut know that Col. Camp bell was to he run, only on the day of election ? Why this eonecalmeot —this intrigue—this shameful ter giversation if Graves was consider ed a Clark candidate ? That he ivns not so considered and support ed by the party, the circumstances atten ding the ele lion abundantly prove. The members of the Clark party knew the sentiments of Mr. Graves resperti: g the presidential question; they knew he had firm ness enough to disregard all private consideration when the good of the country required such a sacrifi e; consequently, the most powerful exert tons, aided by intrigue arid un derhand dealings, were used to pre vent his election; and they would have sueeeeded if a few Clarkites, guided by some honorable feelings, had nut refused to vote for a man ■ who was not a candidate. Yet he is accused ot misleading those very men who tlelibera ely and actively exerted themselves to defeat his election ! Mr, Graves also was Dot suoported by all the members of his own party. The oitizeos on Little river, find ieg it agrievanoe the great distance of the court house to their section of the county, determined to peti tion for the Formation us a mw county. It was natural for them .to declare ibai they would vote on ly for those candidates who would pledge themselves to support their petition. All the candidates made this declaration, and pledged them selves: the friends of Mr. Crawford ooftsoientiously and without *p ei<lU liar motives:” the Clarkites, with the greatest joy, promised to sup port the petition, but with peculiar motives. What were those motives? | Facts.-—The south of the county has always been a check to the am bition and encroachments of the Claikile* —to ‘heir getting all the county olliccs, and lo their carry ing all genet al elections in their own way. Without the south, the county would be in a great measure at the mercy of the Clarkites. For this reason, they joyfully promised to support the division of the coun ty, This was their peculiar motive, which they have not denied, and dare not deoy. To show more for * tbly that this was actually the mo tive wnich actuated them, why were they an vehemently opposed lo anew coumy being formed also in i the non! ? Because their strength lay in that quarter. Take Little river and part of the north from Wilkes, the parties will again near ly balance; but take away one sec tion only, one party must have de cidediy the advantage. The Craw ford candidates declared they would support the formation of the oew county. Mr. Graves exerted him self iu favor of it among the mem bers of the legislature, which can he proved, and voted for the bill. But could be prevent other members of the legislature from vo ting against it on “party principles,” as Col. Lyman so charitably ex presses himself? If the question was put to him, whether bis inter est would suffer by the division of the county, could he have said no i He would have told a palpable false hood, for there is not a man in the county, nor in the adjacent coun ties, who does not know that the principal strength of the Crawford < aodidates lies on Little river. It was known by Mr. Peter Crawford himself before he put the question to Mr. Giaves. a Colonel Lyman says be did. The Clarkites did not lose this opportunity to prejudice the citizens on Little . ivet /§£ the Crawford candid uc*. before uie election. f t’hcv reported that >r. Pope and Mr. G *aves wep* ru ed to die formation of ane v n;ui* , ty. This report Ko.’ocd civdii be cause the citizens of l.iniq riv**r knew that the in u s strength of the Crawford party bri .g with hem, the annihilates <*f the party would naturally he opposed t > a division, as hereafter they w uld have less chance of being elected by the oth er sections of the county. They were willingt however, to support the Crawford ticket: hut tiieir pri vate interest called loudly in a di rection whh‘h might interfere with the interest of the pan?. How were rhey to act to conciliate these clashing interests? On one side, the C'arkites artfully insinuated that the Crawford candidates would not support the new county; on Ihe other, they could not co'isisieotiy with their political principles, sup port men who differed so widely with (hem on so many material points, but who, through interested’ motives, would indubitably vote fr the formation of the new county. In this perplexing situa‘ion, many of the citizens of Little river abstained from voting: they could noi vote for men who, as they were told, would riot support the new county, though, of the same political opinions; uud they could not vote for men to whom they were opposed in principle- Hence the loss of the election of Hr Pope, and probably of the oth er Crawford candidates. The citi zens of Little river now see the in trigues practised by the they have been deceived by them; and the support they have given to the new county bill must be duly ap preciated: at the uext election the citizens of Little river will no doubt show thair real feelings. Mr. Graves voted for the bill agreeably to hi£ promise; he is willing to do so ag da ifc* w* iutci cnf , as C>{. Lyman says. The bill did not pas*; the Clarkites have been dis appointed; they expected to rule tho next election. But since the last election, the feelings of the citizens of the uounty have materially chan ged; they begin to see h© error* into whinh the Clark lea lers have* thrown them; and should anew county be formed, their ascendancy would not he so great as they anti -1 cipate: Mr. Crawford has for his friends at this moment, an over* whelming majjrity of the oitizeaZ of the oounty. J U ST ATI A* BRITISH OPINION OF OUR NEW TARIFF. From the London Morning Chronicle. We refer our readers to the Uni* ted States Tariff Bill in another co lumn, which will produce a great sensation in our* manufacturing towos. The enormous duties on all our staple manufactures, will, we doubt, give rise to smuggling on a most extended scale from Cana da and the Wes’ Indies, bu- while the most demoralising effects will : be seen in America, we fear the ef~ j feels iu England will be of a very | distressing nature. We owe this j measure chiefly (o the cupidity of j our Country Gentlemen, who, by ! excluding their produce from our ! markets, impel al! the agrieultural . nations to become manufacturers for themselves. Thus our poor un fortunate workmen, one market be ( ing shut after another, are forced to toil for less aad less, every day—* weavers for 14 or 15 hours a day, , receiving from seven to ten shillings | a week, while the corn law compels them to pay twioe as mu >h for their food as is paid by the peopie of ev . ery other country. , The Americans will repent, in sackloth and ashes their absurd law, which will produce gre*t heart burnings throughout the country. It will operate us a hcAvv burden ou several of (he staler, and greatly retard the prosperity of the whole. JOBPRiVHG OF yVEKY ‘iif SCUIFIION. Afop/bljr executed at this Office*. [Vo 33.
