trespassing upon the sanctity of your rights.
Though in apologising thus publicly, and
endeamuring to escape unscathed from one
of mywiintentional misdemeanors, it seems
due to the public, and certainly due myself,
that your reply should receive, at least, a
passing notice-.
“If you desire to know my opinions,” say
you, “you have only to read the Indepen
dent Press.” I suppose you mean in refer
ence to my questions. If so, I can inform
you that I have occasionally read your pa
per, but obtained but little information from
it; and I rememberer! tod, when You were
of the “household of faith” find condemned
in no measured terms, the very party with
which you are now rictiilg ; “ remembering
all these things,” and taking into considera
tion the unfair reasoning rind various and
conflicting Statements which weekly appear
ed in its columns, I could not for ri moment,
believe that you were willing to sanction all
that was sent forth to the public ; and there
fore, wished, the more earnestly, voui’ reply
to the questions propounded in relation to
‘Gen. Harrison and Martin \ an Burcn. My
‘questions were immediately and iritimatelv
“connected with the two prominent candidates
the American people for the office of
Presidency ; and you were not called on for
your individual opinions, but vour opinions
as connected with the public acts of these
two individuals. You and your party, or the
party with which you are now acting, pro
nounce General Harrison an abolitionist,
frhis charge I believed unfounded, and used
for electioneering purposes. I called upon
you as the conductor of a Van Burcn Press
to sustain it, or yield the point. Hid von
doit? Have you brought forth such testi
mony, and thrown such light upon the sub
ject, as would warrant the belief that the
‘charge was true, and fix, forever fix, the
•stigma upon the old hero ? No ; but in
a very triumphant way, you think, in or
der to skulk from the controversy, ask my
opinions relative to the institution of slave
ry, with all its moral, political and national
bearings. Why, sir, really sir, believing
that my opinions would never be called in
question, or my devotion to the South and
Southern rights at all disputed, 1 have not
given the subject that examination which
would enable me to prepare an essay upon
the several heads contained in your reply ;
but, “from the lights now before me,” 1 can
not even agree with Mr. Van Buren, “that
Congress has the right to abolish slavery
within the district ofColumbia.”
As to the definition of the term abolition,
it really seems strange that you should have
been using the phrase so frequent of late,
and now openly admit your ignorance by
requesting information as to its real and de
finite meaning. I find that Mr. Van Buren
by his acts and writings,possesses some little
information Which may be serviceable to
you. He wished to abolish slavery in Mis
souri ‘; ahd declared that Congress had the
Tight to abolish it in the District of Colum
bia; and you,and your newly adopted party,
charge Gen. Harrison with being an aboli
tionist. Now, if Mr. Van Bunin's abolition
is the same as that you charge Gen. Harri
son with, then your objections against Gen.
Harrison, on that ground,is forever null and
void.
In reference to a controversy With you, I
am not particularly solicitous—'l have lear
ned enough to be fully satisfied that justice
nor an honorable discussion could not be
had. If you were disposed to place truth,
and correct information before your read
ers, the difficulties of by-gone days, which
had been buried in oblivion, would not
have again been aroused and brought to
light, merely because they may have an
swered the purpose of a scapegoat to divert
the public mind fro hi the main question.—
Sir, please inform us what had the contro
versy of Mr. Cassels and Mr. Janes to do
with the points at issue ? Why should you,
.at this late day, have dragged into a public
■newspaper harrangue, a Minister of the
Gospel, one who is pursuing the good of his
fellow beings, and advancing the triumphs
■of that cause which should be deemed tod
pure to be touched by the pen of a political
writer. Probably, asecond reflection, may
teach you your error.
In conclusion, 1 would remark, iliat I am
mnable to say whether this will Me deemed
,a satisfactory answer to your questions, or
wvhether I have sufficiently defined the
meaning of abolition ;” but, as you did not
wish to answer my interrogations, I will
snow repeat them, and attach’ answers for
you.
1. Can you sustain Ahe charge, that Gen.
Harrison is an abolitionist ?• Yon can
not.
2. Did not Mr. Van Buren oppose the ad
mission of Missouri info the Union because
of Slavery ? He did. ■
3. Did he not vote for Free Negro Suf
frage ? He did.
4. pid he not sanction Negro Testimony?
He did.
5. Did he not : sanction Mr. Poinsett’s
Standing Army Bill. HE DID.
If either or all of these positions are deni
ed, I will bring sufficient testimony to prove
them correct—and the proof whereof, shall
bo such as to admit of no appeal.

WASHINGTON, GA.
THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1840.
(ET Next week, our paper will appear
in a riew dress.
Ulceting at Elbci'ton.
V c had the pleasure of being present at
a Harris irt lhccting ctn Thursday last, at
Elbertdn. A groat concourse of people
front the adjoining Counties, and from S.
Carolina, were there collected, and we
have not yet seen fit the meetings of the
party >ve have attended, more enthusiasm
displayed, or more zeal in die great cause
of refetrm. Old Elbert is still staunch and
true to her principles, and with Hcff eight
hundred majority, will be found ariidhg
the foremost in tile contest of November.
Wilkes, veteran Wilkes, the mother of
counties will not be far behind, she has
burst the shackles in which the intrigues of
a faction had so long bound her, and her
patriotic people are up and at work. ‘I lie
shout of victory which will lie raised ori
■the other side Os Broad River will be re
echoed here.
But let us speak of the rrieetihgi
It was opened by religious seviccs—
an impressive and fervent prayer to the
only Being that freemen bow to, was utter
ed by the Rev. Mr. Edwards. Tlie jlfrt
priety of such a service upon such ail oc
casion and the solemnity with which the
petition was listened to by the crowd struck
us forcibly.
After this service, George R. Gilmer,
Esq. was loudly called for. He appear
ed and delivered an eloquent and interest
ing address, often interrupted by applause,
and once for an interval of some time by
the arrival of the citizens of Ruckersville,
who came in procession with a “Log Cab
in” mounted on wheels, ornamented with
the implements of husbandry, and several
significant emblems, such as fox and mink
skins nailed to the walls. They,were ac
companied with a band of music and a
beautifully painted banner waved above
their Log Cabin.
Ms. Gilmer spoke for about two hours,
and we Will endeavor from memory a/id
the fen notes We Were enabled to take in
the crowd, to give a slight sketch of his
address.
Gov. Gilmer remarked tlvat most of what
lie was about to say was part of his own
experience, had happened within his own
knowledge-, lie exposed the conduct of
Van Bu ren towards our illustrious citizen
Crawford, find also the cause of the breach
between Jackson and Calhoun— how Van
Buren had deprived Calholln bf the confi
dence of Jackson by pouring the oil of flat
tery into the obi man’s ears, had Wormed
himself into Jackson’s confidence by vile
sycophancy, using sitch expressions as that
memorable one “It is glory end Ugh for me
to have served under such a Chief,” until
the General felt towards him the affection
of a father; and had done liis utmost and
successfully, to hoist Van into the Presiden
tial chair. Mr. G. exposed some of the
Windings of Van lluren’s course. “If,” said
Mn G., “ any one disgraces his hand by
taking into it an Extra Globe, lie will find
it said therein that Mr. V; B. deserves the
confidence of tlie people because he is op
posed to Internal Improvement, and the ta
riff; yet as long as Internal improvements
were voted for by a majority in Congress,
Van Burcn voted for Internal Improve
ments, but since the people have become
opposed to them, he, following his unva
rying policy, always to keep on the strong’
side, opposes them also. He pretends to
be opposed to the tariff, and yet voted for
■the “bill of abominations” under instruc
tions got by a paltry intrigue on account of
the excitement at the South against that
bill. Van Buren we are told too, is oppo
sed to the Bank, yet he was chiefly instru
mental in procuring a branch of the bank
at Albany, the capital of his native State,
and when Gen. Jackson quarrelled with the
bank “he followed in the footsteps.”
Mr. G. then spoke of the Indian affairs
of our own State, and the imbecility and
corruption of the Government in relation to
them. One circumstance mentioned by
Mr.G. we particularly recollect. When
the Indians on our western frontier wore
beginning to show signs of hostility, while
Mr. G. was Governor of the State, Dr.
Reese, a gentleman who was known to
have much influence with the Indians,
came to the seat of Government, Gov. G.
saw him and desired to know from him,
provided the General Government would
appoint him agent to confer with the sava
ges, it he would accept the charge. Dr.
Reese agreed to do so ; and, accordingly,
Governor Gilmer wrote to Washington
City, to have him appointed—■-but tin; Gen
eral Government, learning that Dr. Reese
was not a Van Buren man, refused him the
appointment; which, if it had been made,
would, in all probability, have quieted the
Indians, and prevented the desolation and
bloodshed that took place. “ All the old
settlers recollect,” said Mr. Gilmer, “ the
troubles that Vie had with the Indians from
178') to 1795, they recollect how almost
every malt, able to bear arms in the then
frontier counties; (Elbert, Wilkes, &e.,)
was obliged to turrl Out to fight the Indians ;
yet, after thirty yeats struggling in Con
gress, fiir the little pittance of pay justly the
due of those brave men, not one cent was
allowed them. Mr. Van Buren constantly
voted against appropriations for that pur
pose ; Vet they tell its that he is entitled to
tlie suffrages of Georgians !! Does any
one suppose that Geffcral Harrison would
have,done so— a soldier; and an old Indian
fighter himself ? It was, to be sure, a small
matter ; but it shows as well what stuff
A an Buren is made of, as if thebe were
millioilS involved. Does any one suppose;
too, that if General Harrison had had the
control Os the Florida war, a handful of Se
nt inoles would have been suffered to keep
at bay tlie whole force of the United States
—and the blood of one of Elbert’s best citi
zens be still urirevenged ! And they call
General Harrison a granny ! Why, two
hundred such old women would long ago
have driven those Indians into the Gulf Os
Mexico.” Governor Gilmer went on to
describe tlie circumstance of General Har
rison's nomination—showed how the family
of Harrison, from the regicide of Charles
the First, (rtf England.) down to tiie present
efindidfite, had been republicans. He re
lated sonic interesting anecdotes of Benja
min Harrison, (the father of General Har
rison,) the Chairman of the Committee of
Congress who reported the Declaration
of Independence ; and triumphantly re
futed the charge of federalism brought
against General Harrisoh by the present
Administration party.
We wish we were able to give the whole
of Gov. Gilmer’s interesting speech in his
own words, he is one whose station hereto
fore has given him better opportunities than
most men to know the deceit practised upon
the people by the Van administration, and
from his character wo know that his state
ments are fully entitled to the credit of ev
ery one.
After the speech of Mr. Gilmer, the com
pany adjourned to the dinner tables, and
found abundance of good substantial Log
Cabin fare prepared in the best style.
We had afterwards a speech from Mr.
Oliver, a Van Buren man; which for elo
quence and force of argument was fully e
qiial to any thing we have heard from that
side ofthe question, and We have listened to
a goodly number of Van Buren speeches.
Judge D'riUgliertv tbell addressed the
multitude, and for three hours held them
enchained by liis eldqriettce. We regbet
that our limits will not pebmit a sketch of
liis Speech, but we must say, that the eu
logium pronounced by him Upon the great
Statesman of the West, Was as beautiful a
specimen of oratory as we have ever heard
drop from the lips of a Speaker.
Mr. Tortmbs was then loudly Called for.
His hold and fearless denunciation, and liis
ardent eloqUehco are too well known to
most of our readers, to require any descrip
tion or compliment from us,
We have only further to remark, that
this as well as all tlie Harrison meetings we
have attended,was remarkable for the order
and sobriety which prevailed.
Consistency.
The State Rights Party are ficcused b)-
their opponents, of inconsistency for their
almost unanimous support rtf General Har
rison. Would it not be well for the ac
cusers to explain the inconsistencies of their
own course before tiiey condemn others ?
Docs such an accusation come with a good
grace from the Union Party, who are now
running three open and avowedly un
changed Nullifiers for Congress? Nor
does it sound well from those pretended
State Rights men, who are supporting Mr.
Van Buren for the Presidency—fighting in
the same ranks with the authors and zealous
supporters of the Proclamation ; and vip
lently abusing the party they have de
serted ? These men have changed, and are
now denouncing those they have quitted, as
the vilest ofthe vile. It seems to us to be
an imputation upon their good sense, or
their honesty, that they have anted “iili
such a party for so many years, without
discovering their iniquity : or, if it was so
open anil palpable as they pretend, that they
did not changed before.
Mr. Calhoun, and ‘-tlie rogues and
royalists,” have become subservient fol
lowers of him who “ crawled into office
through the slime of Executive favor
they, too, are consistent, we suppose ! ! Let
us hear no more of such consistency ; it is
too gross a humbug—and the people will
not swallow it.
Contrast.
“I would not,” savs Mr. Vail Buren.
“ from the lights now before me, feel myself
safe in pronouncing that Congress does not
possess the power of interfering with, or
abolishing slavery in the District of Co
lumbia,”
“I do not believe,” said Genera! Harri
son, “that Congress can abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, without the eon
•sent ofthe States of Virginia and Maryland,
and the people of thte District.” And fur
ther, speaking on the same subject, Gene
ral Harrison says:—“Neither the States
where it does not exist, hor the Government
of the United States can, without usurpation
of power and the violatiofioiasoleiiin com
pact, do any tiling to remove it.”
Van has spent some $7,500 of the peo
ple's money in lamps and candlesticks, to
illuminate his palace—wo wonder if ho lias
got lights enough before him \et, to feel
himself safe in pronouncing a more positive
opinion.
Jlttfins ofl* I lie People.
The South-Western Convention met at
Nashville, on the 17th ult. The multitude
Was immense ; far exceeding the famous
Baltimore Convention. Mr. Clay, who was
present, remarked, in his speech, that tin
meeting should, par excellence, be called,
The Convention of 1849. Delegates were
present from almost fiveii’v section of the
Union.
These tremehdotis gatherings portend a
sure and speedy downfall to Van Buren and
his power. The nation is in agitation to its
inmost recesses. Men who formerly took
not sufficient interest in political questions,
| to understand their import and tendency,
are lip and doing. The dwellers in the
“ log cabins” arc awake ; and from every
quarter clouds are gathering—teeming with
the lightning of a people’s indignation
against this corrupt and perfidious Admi
nistration. Its time is nearly full.
The Crops.
Tlifere is every prospect of a short crop
of cottdn this season. The newspapers
from every part of the Southern country
contain accounts of the ravages of the
worm, which lias been more voracious this
year than ever before.
They are suffering from the same evil iii
this quarter. The crop, already unpromis
ing on account of the extraordinary wet
ness of the Summer, is still farther dimi
nished by the insects ; so much so, that we
have heard some fanners assort, they
would not make more than one-half the
crop of ordinary years.
To compensate for this, however, tlie
corn crops are uncommonly fine ; and this
circumstance may induce’'our farmers to
cease their ruinous policy of purchasing
their stock from the Kentuckians, and to
endeavor to raise their own provisions upon
their own plantations.
Match Hi Ik Pear.
We have been tantalized with the sight of
a large pear, which grew this season upon
the plantation of Mrs. Hanson, of Lexing
ton, Oglethorpe county. Said pear weigh
ed, we are told, two pounds and two ounces.
We are only qualified to speak of its exte
rior appearance—not being permitted to try
its internal qualities. We beg our friends
hereafter to recollect, that we have a taste
for curiosities in the fruit line—the sight of
them is a very unsatisfactory enjoyment.
Those who are desirous to improve their
stock of fruit would do well to procure cut
tings of this species of pear.
ftST’ The course of the Administration to
wards the Banks ofthe District of Columbia
is indicative of what they would do if they
had the power, with the State institutions.
Democratic-Republican-Union-Van Buren
men of Georgia, how would you like to have
the banking institutions—these bantlings of
your creation, which you liaye been giving
birth to, and nursing for several years past,
knocked in the head in,this unceremonious
style. The Central Bank—that favorite
scheme ofimposture and folly—might prove
the first victim. Therefore, as you love
your offspring—beware !

rights, The Columbus Enquirer, came tons,
last week, in anew dress, and much im
proved in appearance. We wish the en
terprizing proprietors the success which
their zeal in the good cause so richly de
serves.
tcj ■ General Harrison, we arc told by
the Federalists, has never revealed his son
tinients on the leading political questions of
the day. We should bo glad to know how
it happens they are so well aequainted with
liis opinions on every subject, if ho.so siudi.

From the MiHedgcviUe Recorder.
Since our last an express reached this
place, informing “the Governor that a body
of Indians had invaded Ware county , and
committed many depredations, having laid
waste some ten plantations, burning houses,
fences, &:c. Tlie citizens of Ware county
having been informed of many murders re
cently committed by the Indians in their
vicinity over the Florida line, were in a
state of sufficient watchfulness to bscape
the toniahawk, by timely flight.
It will be seen from the following letters,
which we copy front an extra Savannah
Georgian, that the Savages have been, and
may bo even now, committing horrid bar
barities on tlie persons and property'’ of our
■fellow-citizens of Camden. Wo observe
that measures have been taken by Gen.
Floyd to meet the emergency. We feared
that this excellent officer was still at the
North, where wc believe he has recently
been, for the restoration of his health.—
With such an officer at his post, we may
rest fissured that all will be clone which,
under the circumstances, can be done, by
one ofthe most prompt and meritorious of
ficers in ihe Union. The Governor, we
presume, has ordered the necessary meas
ures for defence and protection.
“ Centrevillage, Aug. 19, 1840.
“ Dear George. —l am sorry to inform
you that the Indians have done a good deal
of mischief oh the Suwany, and it is thought
that they have again come into the Okafa
riokee ; last Friday they killed Joseph
Howell’s wife and two children, and l.lan
iel Green’s wife, and shot hi.s daughter
through the shoulder; they have robbed
and burnt out the inhabitants as they went,
beginning at Green’s they have burnt near
ly all the dwellings up to Fort Gilmer;—
Joseph HowCll arid George Johns got in
here to day ; they followed them up tlie
Suwany several miles, and found 11 dwel
lings burnt. They all arc foiled iu at Old
Bill Cone’s and Capt. Sanderlain's. The
Indians fired on Sanderlain’s house, all
night on Friday night, the next morning
took the road up the river, and only went
five or six miles, to old Sumarall’s place,
and killed some hogs and cattle and staved
all night. This is the most hold and (hir
ing act they have committed, since the
commencement of the war; the people a
bove tin's are very much alarmed, and
some of them are moving off—whethei’
with sufficient cause, 1 cannot say. Ab

were killed last AVednesday, on the South

the same party. 1 have nothing more

all gathered at Arch. Hogan’s (Monia,)

attacked the place and killed the abort!

burnt Davis’ and Miney’s places, and
one other in this county, it is about

in danger here as yet, though others think
different. There is a pan of two compa
