The Democratic Address.
Mr. Editor : —This is a characteristic
document—its paternity could not he mis
taken ; it is impossible that it could have
had any other origin than a Georgia Demo
cratic Van Buren Conclave. It is like all
of its predecessors, except that its colours
arc more strongly marked, and its leading
deformities more thoroughly developed.—
The'OoolJjnpudence with which it manu
factures facts to suit its purposes of decep
tion, would deserve only our ridicule or
contempt, were it not that it is put forth un
der the sanction of a numerous body of cit
izens who are straining every nerve to rule
or ruin our common country. It is not my
purpose to review it at present; I design
only to cal! the attention of your readers to
some of its prominent perversions of facts
and inconsistencies. Asa whole, it is a
motley compound of discordant ingredients,
chiefly consisting of abuse of Mr. Clay, and
misrepresentations of the truth of history,
Whig men and Whig measures extracted
from the Globe, Richmond Enquirer, and
Federal Union, new-cast to suit the occa
sion, interspersed with Calhounism, a small
touch of the “ forty bale theory,” diluted
so as not to nauseate Union Democrats, sea
soned with new and original thoughts upon
the transcendent merits and excellence of
“hard money” as a National Currency,
concealed under the phrase “Currency fur
nished by nature,” in order not to shock the
nerves of that numerous and distinguished
section of the democratic family who be
lieve “ Central Bills” the perfection of a
good currency ; of course as it basso ma
ny jarring views to reconcile, it is “ crossly
indented and whimsically dove-tailed.”
The Address opens with a plain truism
in government, but with instinctive horror
even of abstract theoretical truth, it quick
ly glides into the denial of the existence of
one of the most universal principles of our
nature in order to pander to the passions
and self-love of the multitude. Having
thus descended to the atmosphere in which
it delights to revel, it forthwith begins to
distort and misrepresent every principle
and every fact upon which the glorious rev
olution of 1840 was achieved. It charges
the Whigs with having promised the people
that the “ election of Harrison should be the
signal for an immediate restoration of confi
dence, a rise in the wages of labor and the
prices of property.” The truth is, that the
Whigs traced the public calamities chiefly
to the wasteful extravagance of the Demo
crats during Van Buren’s and Jackson’s
administrations, to the war on the curren
cy, the destruction of the United States’
Bank, and the operation of the sub-Treasu
ry, and they promised to ameliorate and
remove them, not simply by the “ election ”
of Gen. Harrison, but by the co-operation
of that illustrious patriot to retrench the
public expenditures, to remove unfaithful
and incompetent officers, to repeal the sub
treasury, and to regulate the Currency by
the establishment of a National Bank. —
Within thirty days after his inauguration,
Harrison was no more ; Mr. Tyler became
president; the Whigs proceeded firmly to
the discharge of their duty, and the redemp
tion of their pledges ; repealed the sub-
Treasury, passed the Bank Bill, Tyler
went over to the Democrats, betrayed his
country and his party, vetoed the Bank bill,
and the country yet continues to be cursed
with the same financial policy which mark
ed the administration of Mr. Van Buren,
and which caused such wide-spread ruin
throughout the republic, and the Whigs are
now reproached because the country is not
blessed with the effects of those wise and
beneficent measures which havebeende
feated by their factious opposition and the
treachery of Mr. Tyler. If confidence has
not been restored, nor the prices of proper
ty improved, nor labor rewarded, it is sim
ply because a change of Presidents has
brought with it no change of measures,
because the people have been basely cheat
ed out of the fruits of the victory over their
oppressors, by an infamous coalition be
tween those oppressors and Mr. Tyler.
Nothing can be more fanciful than the
account which the Address gives of the state
of the public credit and the finances of the
Government when Mr. Van Buren was
driven out of the Presidential chair by the
people, and tiie changes which have been
wrought therein by what the Address is
pleased to term “ retrenching wbiggery.”
Invention and malice supplies the place of
truth and candor, and the imagination of
the scrivener revels in the contemplation of
scenes of Whig extravagance and Whig
violations of public pledges created by his
own inventive fancy, and gloats with demo
niac pleasure over real public calamities
and private woes, produced, so far as the
action of the Government is concerned, ex
clusively by the acts of this same democrat
ic party, and rejoices with fiendish delight,
that faction and treachery have prevented
the Whigs from ameliorating the distresses
of a suffering people. But this portion of
the Address shall have my attention on an
other day. For the present,*l desire to call
your attention briefly to such parts of this
Address as relate to the Currency and the
Revenue. The pecuniary embarrassments
of our people are covertly charged to the
use of paper money, and gold and silver,
or in the language of the Address, “ a fixed
and stable currency, the material of which,
having inherent value, shall secure you n
gainst loss by depreciation, while its being
furnished by nature and not by bankers,
shall effectually avert those ruinous expan
sions, contractions and suspensions, the re
al sources of those disorders in the curren
cy from the effects of which you are now
suffering,” is prescribed as the remedy.—
If there be one word of truth in the forego-
I ing paragraph, then the Democratsare res
ponsible for the pecuniary sufferings of the
people, at least so far ns Georgia is con
cerned. Who chartered the Banks ? who
multiplied them to an extent beyond the
legitimate wants of the country ? who stim
ulated them to those ruinous expansions ?
who yet upholds the only suspended Bank
in the State, whose bills pass as money ?
The answer is the same to all the ques
tions. This same Democratic party. The
same party which elected Gov. McDonald
after lie had, in a special message, recom
mended the Legislature to borrow money,
put it in the Central Bank to lend out to the
people, and which supported his recommen
dation in the Legislature by their votes —
this same party now reproaches the Whigs
with the desire to establish a National Bank
on “ borrowed money.” This same party
which is at this very moment sustaining
and defending the Central Bank in its ex
pansions and suspensions, has the effronte
ry to prate to the people about hard money
and a sound currency. Oh, shame ! where
is thy blush !
But grossly inconsistent as the con
duct of this combination to govern the coun
ty which has attempted to give dignity’ to
itself by calling itself the “Democratic
party,” is shown to be in reference to the
currency, their public conduct with refer
ence to the Tariff, is immeasurably baser.
The history of the world affords no parallel
to their duplicity and mealiness. And this
is especially true as to the conduct of the
Calhoun section of this party upon this
question. The compromise act was passed
in 18311, by the influence of Mr. Clay, to
restore peace to the country, and to extri
cate Mr. Calhoun and his tail, from the
contempt and ridicule of the country or the
vengeance of‘ General Jackson, as their
conduct might be influenced by fear or des
pair. This compromise act settled the Ta
riff question for ten years, which expired
the 30th June last, and the principal oppo
sition to the bill came from the Democrats
in both Houses of Congress. Mr. Forsyth
in behalf of the Democrats of Georgia, pro
claimed in the Senate that lie would not
be governed by it ; the democratic press
throughout the South denounced it. But
the Whigs as a body voted for, and were
pledged to stand by the principle of the hill
at least for the ten years it had to run ; and
at the extra session, the Southern Whigs
prevailed upon their associates still to stand
by its principles ; accordingly the revenue
bill was introduced, it carried out fully,
faithfully and honestly', the principles of
the compromise ; it subjected all the im-;
ports of the country, with but slight excen- •
tions, to the same ad valorem duty of 20 per
cent. It included those articles of great
consumption in the country which were ex
empted from duty by the Act of 1832,
which was for this cause, among others,
nullified by South Carolina. Carolina de
clared that the exemption of these articles
from duty, made the Tariff of 1832 more
unequal and unjust than the Tariff of 1828;
that it was a trick of the manufacturers to
levy the whole revenue out of articles
which came in competition with them, and
operated as additional protection to them
and injury to the South. It was the most
perfect free-trade measure that over passed
the American Congress, and was just such
a measure as Mr. Calhoun and South Caro
lina said in 1833 that she must havo.—
Well, what was the eonduct of these “hon
est Nullijiers” towards that measure ? With
Mr. Calhoun at their head, they raised a
hue and cry in the country about taxes, to
embarrass the Government, to prevent the
final and satisfactory adjustment of the ta
riff question, to keep it open for Calhoun’s
benefit, to harrass and alarm the country,
and to profit thereby at the expense of the j
country they voted against it, and this same
Address whilst it expressly declares, that
“ in laying a Tariff for revenue, Congress
has no right to regard any interest or class
with a spirit of favoritism, because it can
not be done without a violation of the plain
est principles of justice and republican e
quality,” and that “ incidental protection
is positive favoritism ;” with unparallel
ed baseness and the most glaring inconsis
tency declares that “ nothing but the able
and energetic opposition of the democratic
party in Congress” saved “ your (the peo
ple’s) tea and coffee from being saddled at
the famous extra session with a tribute to
retrenching whiggery.” According to the
principles of the Address, they ought to
have been so “ saddled,” and it was posi
tive “favouritism” to exclude them, and
against the plainest principles of “ Justice
and Republican equality.” If these De
mocrats had acted honestly therefore,
they ought to have denounced instead of
| praised these able and energetic represen
tatives, for not supporting this free-trade
measure. But nobody expected them to
act honestly in this matter ;■ every honest
man in Georgia know but too well they
have never yet failed to barter principles
for votes. These anti-humhuggers, these
precious appealers to the “ reason” of the
people, who scorn to appeal to “ passion
and prejudice,” very well knew that their
honest and truthful denunciation of the tax
on “ Coffee and Sugar” had worked politi
cal wonders last year, and they had no idea
of surrendering it without another trial of
its virtues in duping a confiding people,
sensitively jealous of the taxing power.
Again, tliis Address declares that “inci
dental protection” is “positive favourit
ism,” and as such utterly denounces it. ■
Did this famous Convention really think so? .
If they did, they are greater fools than }
knaves. No duty,.notone cent can be laid :
on any imported article, if the same or a
similar article is manufactured in this coun
try, without affording to some extent, “ in
cidental protection.” And to carryout the
principles of this Address, the power grant
ed to Congress to “ lay and collect duties,”
should be abolished, and the entire revenue
of the country raised by direct taxation.
The Government Taxgatherer must visit
every log-cabin in America to extort pence
from poverty. “To this cornplection it
must come at last,” if the people regard
these absurd vagaries of these new light
Democrats. Let the people beware.
A WHIG.
The Picayune tells the following amu
sing incident, occurring on an election day.
This gentleman went for principles not
men.
An Independent Voter. —A man went up
to the polls on Monday night to vote. He
first took up a demcratic ticket, and easting !
his eyes over the names of the candidates. ]
lie muttered, Peire—Barton—Stone—and j
threw down the ticket, exclaiming, “O,
dang it, I’ll vote for none of them.”
A whig ticket, headed “ Forthc Encour
agement of Home Industry, ” was then thrust j
into his hand by a Clay man. lie ran o- ;
ver the names as lie did those of the demo
crats, but not one of them, he said, pleased i
him. As ho was in favor of encouraging 1
home industry, however, lie said he would
vote for that ; so tearing off all the names, j
lie deposited the mere heading of the ticket
in the ballot-box.
From the New-York Express.
’ HON. THOMAS F. MARSHALL.
The National Intelligencer contains an
address of three columns, by Mr. Marshall,
“ to the Members of the Marshall Auxiliary
Society of Washingtonians, city of New-
York.” Mr. Marshall says that “recent
transactions of a private and personal na
ture, in which he became unfortunately in
volved, have drawn upon him the notice and
animadversion ot the press in a deeper
strain of condemnation than is usual to of
fenders of his class”—and proceeds at
length to examine, as he says, “ the grounds
of this rather extraordinary and somewhat
continued exhibition of an offended public
opinion against him for an act which of it
self, and cleared of any circumstance of a
trocity or unfairness, is one about which
sentiment, opinion and manners are at least
a good deal divided in these United States.
The offence of fighting a duel is sougiit to
be distinguished in his case, he says, and
placed upon different grounds from that of
others. It seems to be considered ns an act
of apostacy in him, an especial violation of
a particular and personal obligation impos
ed by “ his pledge,” and his public exer
tions in behalf of Temperance—a peculiar
breach of faith to that cause, and an aban
donment of principles which he had profes
sed, and of which they say lie had volunta
rily become a public teacher.”
Mr. M. then has a fling at the Rev. Mr.
Marsh, for endeavoring to monopolize the
“ showing him off” at 25 cents a head, and
after examining the subject of temperance
in connection with duelling, &c., concludes
thus :
If I am right in my apprehensions, those
who injudiciously seek to make the pledge
a test of religious belief or a rule to settle
disputed points in morality, may and will
drive off some of the most interesting ob
jects of our pursuit; but they will fail in
excommunicating me. Err as I may in
my reasoning or my conduct about other
tilings, the pledge is mine, and saint nor
devil can deprive mo of it. 1 hope you
have not the will, I know you have not the
power to exile mo.
Height of Mountains .—The highest point
ofland in North America, east of the Rocky
Mountains, is Mount Mitchell, a peak of
the Black Mountain in Buncombe county,
North Carolina. It is six thousand four
hundred and seventy-six feet high, by ac
tual measurement.
‘ Jabe, what are you doing there on the
floor ?’
‘ Why, sir, I have had a shock.’
‘ A shock ?’
‘ Yes sir.’ j
‘ What kind of a shock ?’
‘ Why, sir, one of your subscribers came
in during your absence, and offered to pay
a year’s subscription ; which produced such
an effect upon me that I have been perfect
ly helpless ever since.’ 1
‘No wonder, Jabe ; but cheer up ; if you ‘
survive this you are safe—as there is lit
tle prospect of such another catastrophe in
this office,’

Nine hundred and forty common Indi
ans'—men, women, and children, also came
in for money, and the general sum paid to
these is S3O each ; a few are set down at
$5, which were probably children. The
result of the whole is, that nearly $115,000
in addition to the expenditures for troops,
has been expended in direct applications of
money to the Florida Indians.
Tallahassee, July 23.
More of the Indians. —We learn that on j
Monday evening last, about 9 o’clock, the i
Indians attacked a dwelling a few miles
from Camp Gamble, fired into the house,
killing one man and wounding two others.
Information was immediately communica
ted to the camp, and a detachment of thirty
i men were sent in pursuit. We have not
heard of their return. We presume, as
usual, the Indians cannot lie found. A day
or two since a traveller between Monticello
and Madison had an arrow discharged at
him by an Indian, supposed to boa spy upon
the settlements. There is a rumor also in
i town of a depredation having been recently
1 committed in Gadsden County.
Thus is the war ended ! by proclamation! i
It is the general opinion that there is as
much danger in Middle Florida at present
as at any time during the war. Again and
i again have wo been called upon to record
i depredations upon the lives and property of
j our citizens ; and not one of the savages
j who have committed them has been either
j killed or captured. To complain is use
: less—and we are obliged to submit in si
j lence to our fate. Government appears to
| have little care or regard for the cilizens
of our ill-fated Territory. Wc have but
little hopes of reform while we continue in
Territorial vassalage.— Floridian.
An atrocious murder was committed in ;
the midst of our city about C o’clock on |
Wednesday morning. The victim, says j
the Inquirer, from which we get the partic- j
ulars, was Mr. Noah Lougee, Exchange j
Broker, No. 39 south Third street, just a- j
hove Chesuut. The offender is a tall young i
man of good appearance, said to be from j
Kentucky, about 21 years of age, who ar- !
rived at the Franklin House about five o’- j
clock in the morning, and entered his name
Us A. Smith. It is believed, however, that ‘
his real name is Milton J. Alexander. The !
first intimation of the dreadful deed was giv
en by an appalling scream which proceed
ed from the office of Mr. L., and directed
the attention of persons to that quarter.—
The murderer was seen darting from the of
fice, and as soon as ho was out, ho raised
the alarm of “Stop Thief!” Mr. L. was in
pursuit; he reached tire pavement, turned
back again into his office, where lie fell,
and died in about 15 minutes. He was a
bout 48 years of age, has left four daugh
ters, and resided in Sansont st. He form
erly lived in Cincinnati, where lie was the
agent of the Louisville Savings Institution,
and at the time of the recent riots left very
suddenly. The first office he opened in j
this city was in Third street below Chesnut, j
and a female, supposed to be one of his
daughters, attended it for a short time. He
was very attentive to business, kept open
early and late, and his was almost the only
office open at the time of the murder. The
cause of the murder is not very apparent,
but it was probably a desire of plunder,
though there is a story of the fellow’s hav
ing been wronged by his victim in Cincin
nati, and another of his having called him
a “liar,” in some conversation on the morn
ing of the act, respecting a note which he
wished to have changed, etc. We hope,
for the credit of the city, the trial of the of
fender will be prompt, and his punishment
certain and exemplary.— Phil. Evening
Post.
The Y azoo (Miss.) Whig, says, a ■
gentleman of that place recently Fnot a
snake of a curious description. When the
snake was first seen by him its color was
of a deep blood red. Shortly after it was
‘.VO'unded it became nearly black ; but on I
the following morning it presented a beau- 1
tiful vermillion, variegated with narrow i
white rings shaded on each side witli jet
black. The first of these rings is around
the head, immediately behind the eyes.—
They continue to the tail at regular inter
vals of about two inches. The snake is a
bout two feet and a half in length, and at
the largest part not thicker than a man’s
finger.
Re-action oj Repudiation. —The Detroit
Advertiser states, that the State of Michigan
is in pressing want for rail-road Iron to
complete thirty or forty miles of rail-road,
to enable her to use her public works, but
her credit has fallen so low, that nobody
will trust the State, unless some individual
will guarantee payment.

Postmasters Commissions. —We are glad
| to have it in our power to announce that the
! Postmaster General has rescii.'ded the order
| re-adjusting and reducing the commissions
of Deputy Postmasters. This order, origi
nally made with great reluctance bV him,
was precautionary. He had just grou.ods i
to apprehend a deficiency in the revenue .of
iho Department to meet its current obliga
tions. The economy which he has been *
: enabled to introduce into the service, and j
: the increased vigilance of the Deputy Post
