MEWS AND GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1844. FOR PRESIDENT, ayaairor .miiird OCr We ate indebted to Messrs. Clinch, Stephens, Cobb and Stiles, for many inter esting public documents. We have also received from the Hon. A. H. Chappell, one, the speech of Mr. Woodbury (cypher tag Levi,) against the present Tariff. By the way, we are sometimes asked if Mr. Chappell is Whig or Democrat? We an swer, that we can’t tell. He was a zeal ous Whig last June, at the Whig State Convention; he was nominated by the Whigs, and elected by Whig votes; but since he has got to Washington, some new lights seem to have dawned upon him, as has been the case with most of the members heretofore sent from Western Georgia. When we wish to find Chappell’s vote now we always look for it on the Democratic: side; if Stephens and Clinch vote Yea, Chappell is sure to vote Nay, and vice versa. In fine, we believe he is a sort of Whig and sort of not, “ but rather more sorter not, than sorter.” OiT A communication addressed to the Stockholders of the Bank of the State of Georgia, over the signature of “ Warning Voice,” appears in the Savannah Georgian, to which is appended the modest request that Editors throughout the State should republish it. As it abounds with the most disingenuous statements and misrepresen tations, is evidently intended for the pur pose of impairing the confidence of the Stockholders and the people in the present administration of the Bank,and is in reality a developement of a plan of the Savannah clique to replace in office the former in competent Democratic officers, a “ Ward ing Voice” will hold us excused from pub lishing his production. The ousting of the old officers was, we believe, a very accept able measure with the Stockholders in this section of the State, and the administration of the Bank since that event has been e qually as acceptable. The Stockholders are fully capable of distinguishing the dif ference between losses incurred by tnisfor *tune, yvhioh the most prudent and acute could not guard against, and losses from imprudence and bad management. The warning, to beware of those connected by ties of blood and social alliance with those to whom the destinies of the Bank are corn- j mitted, comes very gracefully from that quarter. o tr The following are given by a cor respondent of the New-York Tribune, as the outlines of the Treaty for the Annexa tion of Texas, lately signed by President Tyler and the Texan Minister: Ist. It is alledged then that Texas is to be admitted as a Territory. 2. She is to have two Representatives that are to be elected next October. 3. She is to reserve for the present her public lands, in order to pay her debts, which are alledged to be about $15,000,- 000. Mr. Clay’s reception in Raleigh, N. C., was one of the most enthusiastic upon his route. Fifteen thousand persons were estimated to have been present, so many from a distance that lodging could not be found in the city for them, and the streets and squares of the city were crowded with those who camped out. Mr. Clay address ed the assembled multitude upon the great political questions which divide the two parties in our country, and was often cheered by rapturous peals of applause. The Raleigh Star says of Mr. Clay : “ From what we had heard of his indis position before his arrival amongst us, we were not prepared to find him so vigorous and strong. He spoke for more than two hours on Saturday, to a multitude of thou sands, all of whom heard him ; and so far from sinking under the labor of speaking, his fine voico continued, to the last, to in crease in compass, and in sweetness of in tonation ; his action became more and more energetic, and we could not discover that there was the slightest failure of strength of body or voice. We had heard of Mr. Clay’s oratory from our boyhood ; but it far excelled anything that we had anticipated. There was a sort of indefina ble simplicity about his manner, a majesty in his voice, swelling, overpowering gran deur and sublimity in many of his senten ces that must be heard to be appreciated. We confess that the half had not been told us.” * Mr. Calhoun a Candidate again. —A f /ashington letter writer (we don’t know tor what paper) says : “In a few short weeks Mr. Calhoun's name will again he run wp for the Presidency (in 1848,) and nailed tn the mast, all consideration to the contrary, ‘notwithstanding. I don’t give this as my o pinion, but as a fart.” The Whigs of New-York celebrated the 12th instant, Mr. Clay's birth-day, in splcftdid style. An enthusiastic meeting was held in the evening, at which Mr. Bolts of Virginia, was presented to the assembled multitude, was enthusiastically received, and made an eloquent speech—one clause of which we quote as containing a valua ble suggestion which we hope to see acted on. It is singular that among the multifa rious branches of Education taught in our Schools, no one has hitherto thought of in troducing the Constitution of the United States: “ What are the true issues now before the People on which the two great parlies of this country are divided ? The Whig par ty propose reform in the Currency of the Country ; they propose a Tariff, and a Dis tribution of the Proceeds of the Sale of the Public Lands. (Applause.) And our op ponents propose instead that half-tried and most thoroughly condemned measure, tho Sub-Treasury ; Free Trade—if any one can understand that term, for I confess I never could—and a wasteful and extrava gant squandering of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands by the General Government. Constitutional objections are the only ones raised to the measures of the Whig party ; aye 1 raised, too, by a party that has never failed to trample upon the ! Constitution, and to violate all laws and all order—(cheers.) They cannot find consti tutional authority either for the incorpora tion of a Bank, for a Protective Tariff, or for a Distribution of the Proceeds of the sales of Public Lands ; but they can find authority for an insurrection ora rebellion —(applause.) They can find authority to disfranchise a State of its whole represen tation ; to trample upon law, arid create Representatives in violation of law. Should these constitutional questions be disputed any longer? Why is it that when the Whig party are engaged in spreading doc uments all over the land, that the Constitu tion of the United States is not set forth a mong the People ? Why is it that it is less understood by those who have to determine upon it, and decide upon its meaning, than any other instrument, perhaps ? I venture to assert—and I hope no offence—that if the question was taken in this multitude to night, it would be mortifying to see how many there are of the most intelligent men in this community, as in every community throughout the country, that have never read it. Let us then circulate this docu ment as the best document which has ever been published ; place it in tho hands of every man in the community that has to de cide upon it. Men go to the polls to vote against measures on constitutional grounds, who have never read the Constitution in the whole course of their lives. How mortify ing it would be if a foreigner coming to our country were to ask one of your enlighten ed educated men what is the constitutional provision for a Bank ; he should reply, you must go further to make the enquiry ; I never read ihe Constitution. (A laugh.) Put the Constitution in the hands of every voter; (cheers,) aye, lot it be taught in your schools; let every hoy in the country understand something of the Constitution and the form of Government under which they live. (Great applause.) Let it also be taught in your Sunday Schools. No other lesson short of the Lord’s Prayer is so important ” i CL7’ A duel took place lately near Phila delphia between Pierce Butlor(the husband ofFanny Kemble) and J M, Schott. They fired twice ateach other, Butler couldn't pierce Schott, and Schott couldn’t shoot Butler, after which the parties left the ground, transcendently tickled at the result. A woman was the cause of the affair. A Washington correspondent of the Jour nal of Commerce, writes thus, “1 really bpgin to think that there is no serious inten tion to act on the Tariffin either House at this session, I discover no earnestness in the right quarters ; and 1 see many pulling back, who were expected to go ahead I now take it for granted that the matter is gone over.” What will Southern Demo crats say to this ? Here at the South, op position to the Tariff of ’42 is the leading principle of Democracy—it is the plain, broad line of demarkation between Whigs and Democrats. An opportunity is offered them of repealing this obnoxious law—they have full power—they are in a large ma jority, and their opponents are utterly pow erless ; still they will do nothing. The truth is, that Democracy North of tho Po tomac is very different front Democracy South of that river. VIRGINIA SPEAKS NEXT. The annual election for members of the Legislature is to be held in Virginia on the 25th inst. Both parties are very active, and though the partisans of Mr. Van Buren claim Virginia by from 5 to 10,000 majori ty, the Whigs of the Old Dominion are con fident of making large gains upon the vote of previous years. In the last Legislature parties were divided as follows: Whigs. Locofocos. Senate, 12 20 House, 59 75 71 95 Standard. SOMETHING NEW. A Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post, has made a discovery that completely lays in the shade all the revelations lately made in the political world. It is nothing less than that an ex tensive project has been formed bv the Whigs to drop Henry Clay as their candi date tor the Presidency, and take up Judge McLane. Prodigious! We had been la boring under a delusion that the eyes of the country were turned towards Henry Clay as the man best calculated to redeem the cbnntry from the miserable army of public plunderers who have for tho last ten or twelve years been preying upon its vitals; but all our find anticipations arc blighted by tho discovery of this modern political philosopher. ‘ Where ignorance is bliss* ’tin lolly to be wise,’ and we really wish this acute correspon dent had kept his astonishing discovery to himsolf a while longer. Several Locoibco Editors have taken up the theme, and dis course with great apparent indifference on the matter; no one can doubt their disinter estedness ; but we fear the Whig party (that is, those who are not parties to this ‘ extensive project,’) will refuse to profit by the disclosure. They have pretty much made up their minds that Henry Clay shall be the next candidate of the great Whig party ; and not only that, hut they have also pretty fully concluded to elect him. We advise the aforesaid correspondent and editors to keep as cool as the state of the weather will admit, and calmly “ wait for the wagon.” Consistency. —The Globe, in order to prove that some of the Whigs have been in consistent, avers that Mr. Clay has chang ed none of his opinions ; that “he is the same to day, that ho was yesterday.” Ex actly so ; and that is the reason why we prefer him to any one else ; “ put your fin ger on him,” and he’s there. Washington Standard. The Whigs, but lately so bold, are grow ing timid. They will soon he frightened at their own shadows.— Globe. If they cast as ugly a shadow as the edi tor of the Globe does, they might be fright ened at it without any just imputation upon their courage.— Louisville Journal. ! FREE TRADE—WHAT IS IT? We have been a loss to understand what were the precise views of those who pro tend to belong to what they term the free | trade party. At first we supposed, taking the sound for the sense, that it was the doc trine of that party to admit the manufac tures and productions of other countries, : free of duty, bringing the half fed or rathpr halfstarved labor of foreigners in direct competition with the labor of our own citi zens, thereby giving a preference to for eign countries, and resorting to direct taxa tion at home, to support the government. — ; This, at first, was the meaning of the thing, j but finding the people determined not to submit to it, politicians, taking council by | their fears, have abandoned their position, and now pretend that free trade is some tingelse. Well, what does it mean ? Men deeply imbued, as they say, with this doctrine, and who should be capable of explaining its import and meaning, dif fer so widely as to leave us in doubt as to whether there is really any such thing or not. Mr. McDuffie explained it to be a kind of revenue business—a Tariff’ levied ; j off the rich to be placed in the pockets of; i the poor ; Woodbury thinks that the beauty of the system consists in reducing the wa ! ges of the industrious mechanics, to keep | them from drinking too much ; whilst Ben- I ton, who seems to be regarded like Stock ton’s canon, the biggest gun by far in this mighty war, regards tho principle of protec tion as all important to perfect the system of free trade. We had thought that protec tion was atmgbear that would throw u mod ern democrat into convulsions; that tiie doctrine of free trade in its practical ap plication, was like the philosopher’s stone, to change every thing into gold, and that no democrat good and true would venture to explain it as meaning anything squint ing at a discrimination in favor of domes tic industry. But we were entirely off’the scent. The champion of Locofocoism, the bull dog of Van Burenism, upon whose shoulders more than any other man’s the weight and burden of the party rests, has, in his recent speech avowed the doctrine of protection, and scouted the horizontal sys tem. What does he say ? Listen. “I am for discriminating between arti- ‘ cles made at home and not made at home ; and placing the highest revenue duty upon ‘ the foreign rivals of our productions. We are not to make war on the manufactures. Every Statesman will cherish them, and honor the skill and industry which perfects them, if left free to follow his own inclina tions.” Them are our sentiments, Col. Humbug, but how arc you found uttering them? You are the great Magnus Apollo of the democracy, and we supposed that this was the view of the matter so briefly denounced by your party. The Whigs go no farther; and yet Mr. Benton is lauded to the skies as the advocate of free trade. We have no fears that any party in this country will ever dare to legislate for the paupers of England, or any where else, to the injury and ruin of our own industry. They may make pretences, as has been done in the bill lately reported to Congress, in order to catch gulls in the South; but when it comes to final action, we cannot believe that locofocoism itself is reckless enough to sacrifice the permanent prosperi ty of their country on the anvils and spin ning jennies of any other. But still they vow bitter wrath that they will, and expe rience has furnished some examples that when they have the power, they dare do anything. The safest way is to withhold from them the power of doing mischief and the country may yet be safe.— Columbus Enquire’-. Beware of a Swindler. —The Southern Chronicle says, “A vagabond in the guise of a gentleman, who calls himself J. Sax ton, No. 2 & 3 Astor House, N. York, a few months ago visited Columbia, repre sented himself as a general agent for all the Newspapers and Literary publications at the North, and induced a number of per sons to advance the subscription money for several of them. The subscribers not re ceiving their publications, applied to the publishers, who deny all knowledge of the fellow. Saxton is about 21 or 22 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, sharp countenance, long dark hair and blue .eyes.” ! FOR THK NEWS & PLANTERS’ GAZETTE. “O wad some now'r the giftje gie us j To see oursels us others see iih.” Mr. Editor : —lt is with much reluctanco ! that I am compelled again to appear before your readers. 1 am fully aware of the dislike so generally, and 1 may add, so justly entertained for personal controversy conducted through the medium of the pub lic press ; but as my first communication seems to have fallen so far short of the good object which it was designed to accomplish, and instead of inciting a proper sense of i justice, propriety and common decency, lias j only served the humble purpose of afford ing “ amusement” to your sapient corres pondent “ Bob Short,” 1 trust I may be in ! dulgcd, while 1 attempt a suitable reply, j And here, in justice to another, it may be I well to correct the false impressions of Mr. [ Bob Short, with regard to the author of FiatJustitia. lie has never “bowed his | neck” to Mr. Guieu or any other “ Demo- I craiic idol,” as Mr. Bob Short “ventures.” He is not the gifted and highly respected citizen whose confidence this faithless seribler would abuse and betray. His first vote was cast in the Whig cause, and in favor of the illustrious and lamented , Harrison. His “pretensions and profes j xions” are such as they always were ; he regards Mr. Clay as the idol of his political worship, and although his feeble efforts and influence are cheerfully enlisted in behalf j of that great Statesman, his motives are ! based upon the good of the country, and he | looks forward to no reward save the peace ful consciousness within, that he has dis -1 charged his duty. The reasoning of “ Bob Short” on this j point, is quit o as absurd as his attempts at • guessing are unsuccessful. In anticipa tion of the period of Mr. Clay’s election, : this wise-acre, who has so signally disgra | ced the name that lie lias borrowed, says : ; “It is time wtien the spoils are divided to I see wiio have struggled for Principles and who for Places. We can then see wheth ! er tiie motives of the combatants were to establish great principles or great for tunes.” It needs not the ingenuity of a “fine writer” to expose tiie utter fallacy of till's conclusion. How many pure and disinterested patriots arc now struggling for the elevation of Mr. Clay to tho Presi dency,—men whose honesty stands above suspicion ? and yet should one accept of fice under the approaching administration, if this writer’s views be. correct, his mo tives arc to be impeached as selfish, mer cenary and corrupt. The Secretaries of the Executive Department, Foreign Minis, ters, Consuls, Deputy Post-Masters and the host of other officers—even Mr. Clay him self—are to be embraced in this sweeping denunciation of guilt—to be issued by whom?—Why, no less a personage than the immaculate and immortal “Bob Short.” We advise the gentleman to consult his logic before he again ventures to draw con elusions from premises. There is much, Mr. Editor, of Bob Short’s communication, which I am prompted by my bettor feelings to pass over in silence, and which, indeed, I feel no inclination to answer. His criticism on language, low effort at wit and pitiful irony—a nauseating compound of ignorance and conceit have met with sucli universal disgust and con tempt at tiie hands of your readers, as to preclude any further notice from myself. I leave him in full possession of the field and would not wither tho laurels that he has won in so valiant an exploit. My “title” has also proved a source of no inconsiderable annoyance to Bob Short, and he thinks it entirely 100 classical for the comprehension of your ignorant and illiterate readers. The worth of tins com pliment, our community may appreciate better than myself, and I doubt not its an- j thor will in due time meet with a full return j for his gratuity ; but I can at least inform j Mr. Short, that, notwithstanding the mists i of high-toned English and unintelligible j Latin which he fears have beclouded their j vision, they have clearly discerned my ob- ; ject and cheerfully responded a hearty amen ! But, Mr. Editor, the most serious part of this controversy remains to be noticed, and it appears that I have in my indiscre tion committed an offence second only to the unpardonable sin. lam charged with committing, or being about to commit, a crime more heinous in itself and disastrous in its results than has ever been perpetrated ! in the wild excitement of infuriated factions under the false banner of Liberty. “Great crimes,” says Mr. Short, have been com mitted in the name of Liberty ; but still greater are to be committed under the pre text of doing justice In other words, in the maddening rage of faction, towns and cities have been razed to the ground ; na tions deluged with fraternal blood, and the dark billows of the deep purpled with the gore of civil strife, and all in the name of “ Liberty ;” but what is this when compar ed with the more awful and tragical event, (to-wit:) the lashing of an presumptuous scribbler for his follies and indiscretions ! 1 ! A word more for Bob Short and I am ’ done with him and the subject; and I re- I gret that my conclusion must necessarily present this gentleman in rather an unen -1 viable position. He alleges that I have j done him great injustice by my censure of J a course which lie was forced to adopt in \ self defence, and after stating that tho at- I tack ot Mr. Guieu upon himself was cn j lirelv unprovoked, says: “The first effusion 1 to which I appended the euphonic title of : Boh Short contained not a particle of per. I sonality.” Now Mr. Editor, let us con trast this positive statement with the facts. ; In the News of the 14th ultimo containing the first effusion aforesaid, will be found ’ the following. In allusion to the Editor of j the Constitutionalist and Macon Democrat I he adds, —“Now how will these infamous j deceivers of the people get out of the diffi j culty, &c. &c.” And again—-“ After this | most miserable artifice to delude the peo ; pie, let the venerable Mr. Guieu hide his head for very shame. Let us hear no more ;of his honesty and independence. As well j might a disgraced harlot claim the rank and l station of a virtuous matron.” j 1 leave the public, or such as may feel i any interest in the matter, to compare the ! above extracts with his positive averment, ! and decide in their own minds of what of- I fence he stands charged and guilty, i This controversy, so far as respects my j self, Mr. Editor, is now at an end ; and as j Bob Short evinces a partiality for proverbs and maxims, I would leave him as a part ing memorial, “ Mentiri cst turpe,” and i trust he will be able to “make the appli i cation.” FIAT JUSTITIA. Washington, April 23, 1814. MR. CLAY AND THE TARIFF. The Herald has discovered and parades ; in large black letter that Mr. Clay has a j bandoned the “ High Tariff System ln- I deed ! We did not know that Mr. Clay i had ever been an advocate of a prohibitory j Tariff! Look into any edition of hisSpee •.dies, and you will find him holdiug, in j 1812, 1824, 1832, and at all times, just the i same doctiines on the Tariff question as at j present. He is for a moderate, wisely discriniina j ting, beneficent Tariff, to afford of itself am ple Revenue for the Government, and pro j tect incidentally the Industry of the Coun ; try ; in short, he is for the present Whig ’ Tariff, with the correction of any defects in ; details which must naturally develop them ! selves upon a full and fair trial, in a mea ’ sure so vast and involving so many com-! ; plex considerations, as a good Tariff must j be. We believe most of Mr. Clay’s oppo | nents are beginning to discover that iiis | views are sound and beneficent, and to ad- I mit that he never was in favor of an exor j bitant, prohibitory Tariff. We hail the j change with pleasure, and are even willing j they should fancy it a change in him rath ] or than themselves. N. Y. Tribune. A Plain Man’s Opinion of Mr. Clay. — j The editor of the Portsmouth, N. 11. Jour j nal has seen a private letter from a gen ! tleman who has within a few months spent | several days with Mr. Clay. The writer j is in no situation where he is in the least j swayed by party preferences, nor would lie j accept a public office, of any grade or sta j tion whatever. lie says : “1 never formed an attachment so strong in so short a time. Mr. Clay has certain ly a most elevated character—far outstrip ping any public man I over met with. His wisdom, his justice, his moderation, all contribute to place him beyond the suspi cion of a sordid motive. lam satisfied that he would to-morrow cheerfully yield all pretension to the Executive Chair, if the interests of his country seemed to require the promotion ofanother. I can now well understand why he adjourned his claims to make room for the lamented Harrison. He has no concealments—no fears-no ani mosities-nojealousies. lie is the boldest man in the expression of his political opin ions 1 have ever met with. He despises trick and detests fraud. Though Mr. Clay has been the recipient for forty years of the most extravagant eu logies of his admirers, lie regards the com pliments from John Randolph and Basil j Flail tho two highest he ever received.— \ The former saidof him, that all he required ! was a sight of his countenance to know i what he was about to utter ; and the latter, 1 that he was too candid ever to become the j President of the United States.” From the Neic-Orleans Tropic. FROM MEXICO. The U. S. brig of War Bainbridge, Capt. Mattison, arrived yesterday evening from Vera Cruz, which port she left on the Ist instant. Among the passengers was Mr. Waddy Thompson, late United States Min ister in Mexico, together with thirty-one Texans, the remains of the prisoners stolen from San Antonio by Gen. Woll. The San Antonio victims, thirty-six in number, j were all liberated, with the single excep- I tion of Geo. Van Ness ; four of the number ‘ remained in Mexico. There is no news from Mexico of impor tance. New Invention. —A set of Carpenter's Planes made of cast iron has been shown to us by Mr. E. W. Johnson, Lombard-st., near Light, who is the Agent for their sale in this city. The invention is that of Mr. William Foster, and the articles are of Ma ryland Iron, cast and finished at the works of the Savage Cotton Factory near this city. These tools are but a trifle heavier than those of wood, and cost the same price ; and as they are made of material which cannot I warp or spring, the advantage they possess j over others is apparent.. We learn that at ; the Navy Yards at Washington and Phila delphia these cast iron planes are used to ! great advantage, and preferred to all otli-* j ors. Baltimore American.
