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. Respectfully, JAMES W. PRICE. Sittrrison, Tyler anti He form! NEWS AMD GAZETTE. PRINCIPLES anil MEN. 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 ! 0O” That able advocate of the people’s 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. ously conceals them. They must bo gen tlemen of most uncommon penetration. REMEMBER t-Colonel R M. Johnson lias* plenty of wounds upon ins holly, lint not a single certificate of bravery in his par Iwt General Win. 11.

Aet both these, \Ve suppose, were “ sham” heroes ! As this is die Holy Sabbath, we would a: k tlie devout mail to forge 1 poib irs, and pray for ids po litical enemies —Savannah (irt.rfian, Aug. 30. Oar political enemies are past praying for. 0O“ Those gentlemen who hold subscrip tion lists ofthis paper, will do us a favor by forwarding the names of the subscribers they obtain, as soon as possible. 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 salom Cossey’s children, six in number, were killed last AVednesday, on the South Prong ofthe St. Mary’s, some suppose, by the same party. 1 have nothing more wefrth vour attention at present. “STEPHEN McCALL.” “Geo.

They have all gathered at Arch. Hogan’s (Monia,) arid on AVednesday about night fall, they attacked the place and killed the abort! persons and burned every building on the place except the one defended. They have burnt Davis’ and Miney’s places, and one other in this county, it is about 30 miles from here. Ido not think we arc in danger here as yet, though others think different. There is a pan of two compa nies from Black Creek already sooutiug a long the Okafanokee, and Tracy is trying to raise fifty men for thirty days, under an order from Gen. O. Floyd, AVhat will be the final issue* time-only will show. If I think there is any danger here, I shall at once take my family away from here.— Yours, .in haste, “ STEPHEN McCALL.” “ Geo. Lang, Esq.” Since writing the above we arc informed that the Governor has directed Gen.
