SLT With pleasure we give place in our paper ?o the eotuinunicalion of -Crawford.” We •bell not attempt to cowmfQt* upon the subject matter of that communicatWI: we leave that duty, if he thinks proper to perform it. to the author of “ Necker.”—We must, however, re ply, and very briefly too. to the last sentence of •' Crawford,” which paiticnlarly alludes to us- We know the author to be an intelligent and shrewd observer of passing events, and we know that he is able to sustain the positions hs may assume, with ingenuity nnd plausible ar guments; but we know also his stubborness in maintaining principles, when advanced, how ever fallacious they may be. This stubborness is redeemed by so many good qualities, that we have always entertained, and hope will continue to entertain, friendly feelings towards him, though so widely separated by political princi ples. The writer puts this question to us: " Would you rather encourage the products of British, than American labor, all other things being equal?” We reply, .to. We would ra ther encourage the products of American than British labor, all other things being equal. Mind you. Mr. “Crawford,” we would eneoti- age American manufactures in preference to British manufactures, but all other things being eqwil. We take upon ourselves to declare, that there is not one single democrat in Georgia, who would feel any reluctance in subscribing to the proposition just laid down, that Ac would pre fer to encourage American in preference to British labor, all other things being eijuat. We hope “ Crawford” will inform us of the meaning he attaches to such an expression. Until this is done, we cannot give a satisfactory explanation of the meaning we attach to the expression. Mr. Editor.—Before entering on the subject in hand,allow nte to thank you forgiving my former communication a place in your paper, and for the flattering manner you notice the writer. You say I am stubborn when I express an opinion. I fteely acknowledge this; but il l know myself i advance no opinion which I do not firmly believe to be right, and for this reason, I need no ingenuity or plausible arguments to maintain it. I have no interest to serve—1 seek no otiice or profit—and, I assure you, I would go for no man or no party farther than I believe it to be for the inteiest of the country. If I have other aim in view, before God, I am un conscious of it. Having said this much about my motives, allow me to thank you again for the friendly feelings you express towards me ; and be assured, sir, that I shall not knowingly do any tiling to change them. You ask me then to explain the meaning of the phrase “all other things being equal,” in my former communication. I will put the whole question in more precise terms. Would you rather encourage British manufactures, than American; if you could be shewn that a given amount of the products of American labor, employed io raising raw materials and bread stuffs, can be exchanged for as large a quantity of American manufactures as of British, and of equal quality 1 And as I anticipate, from the nature of your remarks, that you will an swer that you would rather encourage American manufactures under such circumstances, I will proceed to shew you the use I mean to make of the admission; confining myself at this time to cotton and its manufactures. Aud first, I refer you to the following extract: AMERICAN COTTONS. The New York True Sun, of the 11th inst., says ; “There seems to be little doubt that we shall soon drive a profitable export trade with England in home manufactured cotton sheetings and shirtings. Orders from London for upwards of a thousand hales of low priced cottons hate re cently been received iu Boston. With China, too, there is every prospect of a brisk trade in the same articles. With the material, comparatively speaking, at our own doors, and all the new im provements in machinery at command, ice su no reason ichy tee should not break up the monopoly which England aud France have so long enjoyed, in supplying the icestcrn market with cotton fabrics. The difference in wages here and in Europe is not of the same consequence now that it was fifteen years ago. Manual labor has been to a great ex tent, superseded by muchiucry. and all that is to be done by machinery an be accomplished as cheaply here as in England.” 1 think this vdll prove conclusively that we can buy American cotton goods of the above de scriptions lower than we could English. The following extract is from the Georgian of the 9th instant, which paper should be good au thority: “We would urge upon our country friends the expediency of getting their crops as early as possible to market, to avail themselves of the opening demand for new cotton from the north ern manufactures; and wonid also impress upou them the important benefit of packing in square bales. “The demand from the north generally insures full prices during the first few weeks of new re ceipt*.” This proves that better prices can be got for the first of the crop from our own manufacturers than from the British; and he might have added that the competition produced by the purchases of our own spinners, keeps up the price above what it otherwise would be, during the whole year. This is in strict accordance with the laws of trade; they can afford to pay more for the raw material, and for onr bread stuffs, than the Brit ish can ; because the cost of transportation, as well as the time and risk are less; and the nearer we bring manufacture* to our own door*, the greater will be this difference. If free trade be the object, here is a fair chance, for a fair discussion of the question, by produ cing facts against theories, and I have abundance of them in store. Being unwilling, however, to trespass too long on your time at one sitting, I shall defer the introduction of any other article till 1 hear what you have to sav to this. CRAVVfORD. HERALD. Thursday, September 28, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT, llEYRY CLAY, of Kentucky. FOR GOVERNOR, GEORGE W. CRAWFOPD. FOR CONGRESS, ALEX. H. STEPHENS, ABSALOM H. CHAPPELL. COLQUITT vs. STEPHENS Great Excitement at Niwnas, Ga. We are informed, by several of our friends, who visited Newnan for the purpose of hear ing Alexander H. Stephens, on the excited questions of the day, that a very large as semblage was present—and that the Hon. Walter T. Colquitt, was also present; hav ing been sent for by the Democrats of Cow eta to meet Mr. Stephens. We will here take the liberty to digtess from our subject, and notice this movement, on the part of the Democracy of Troup and Coweta. The democrats have been in the habit, for more than a twelve month, of charging upon the whigs, and declaring to their friends, that we “were on the wrong ... , | side of the question,” and, conscqitent’y, frjr’ Those papers, with which we ex- , , , , _ , change, East of Griffin, Geo., will please ! kaJ 110 plausible argument to offer, and no direct their paper, via Griffin. to write the letter, or franking it.

In our second number we charged the democratic parly with bribery, corruption, and misrule—we told them that they were fighting under every flag in the United States—anil we told them that their parly was made up of all “ sorts, sizes, shapes, and forms, neither Alpha or Omega ; and, we were abused for so saying, and then asked for the prool of our assertions. We declined producing the proof at that time— but HERE IT IS—read it, and tremble, ye self righteous Pharisees—and see what your nefarious conduct ha3 brought upon you. The exposition that we are now making, is. and ought to be, sufficient to crush you, and your whole parly from Maine to Louisiana. And since we were apprised of the facts set forth in the follow ing, we do not wonder at the revoltings among your presses in every State in the Union—pilfering slyly, could have been overlooked, but bare-faced, and open-hand ed tobbery, was thought intolerable. Private letters received by us together with a few important facts, obtained from distinguished gentlemen in this sec tion of Georgia, prove just what we have charged upon the Democratic party in this county—to wit: that THEY WERE AFTER NUMBER, THEY CARED NOT FOR PRINCIPLES. One of these gentlemen informed us, while in private conversation, that these dastardly democrats were endeavoring to make capital outof some of HIS LOCAL VIEWS—and that they had been pulling and hauling at him for several months, in order that they might excite an expression of opinion from him. And, that he fear ed very much that it was their intention to procure an expression front him, for the alone purpose of affecting the present elec tion. Nor is this all—very many persons of less celebrity than the one, of whom we have just related to, have been canvassed— offices have been offered to them—bribes have been laid before them as baits—great deference h s been shown to them—Gold and Silver begins to glitter in our streets, in the hands of a certain few,—and what is this great parade foi ? What is the de sign in eo much noise about the county? Why is it that the Editor of the LaGrange Herald, is every moment in the day, (ex cept Sunday,) looking around, and catching the glimpse of so many Hawk’s eyes, fastening themselves upon him wherever he goes ? These qusstions are all readily answered. The reason why we are so closely eyed, is, because we have vovvcyl to stick to the truth, and govern ourselves by the rule of honesty. But, let us answer some of the other questions ; to wit: The gentlemen above alluded to. are known to be strong Bank men—aitd in favor of every whig principle—and the lack that is taken upon them by honest de mocrats, is in this way—“are you a high protective tariff man?” The answer is, “.Vo.” They bolt right off, like lightning, and declare that he is a democrat, without any further interview. “Are you in favor Yes—no.” ILT It is amusing to see with what zeal the Democracy of Georgia labor to impress upon the people the belief that .Mr. Calhoun will cer tainly be their candidate for the Presidency, in the face of the multiplied evidences to the contra- of the district system?” ry, which arc daily flowing in from every quar- At either of these answers they proclaim ter of the Union.

Does it not it, that so many of the great statesmen in Georgia, have been solicited to take the slump against Mr. Stephens? Yes, why is it? He is said to be the “Calvin Edson” of the South, and a little fellow, very di minutive in size, hard favored, and on the “wrong side.” T*he truth is, indeed, mighty, and will prevail. They hpve met him in several places in the up country— and, there is not a place where he has been upon the slump, but what bears his mark; every opponent, great and small, have fled before him, and lelthim as conqueror ol the field. We now take notice of the meeting of Mr. Stephens and Judge Colquitt. It was on Wednesday, the 20,h inst., the day was clear: at an early hour in the forenoon, Mr. Stephens was called upon, and, in his usual easy and free style, he addressed the people in behalf of the great whig party of Geor gia, adverting to the United States Bank, and a Tariff for revenue only; which were explained in so forcible a manner, as to enrage every Democrat present. Mr. S. was chaste and conciliatory in his rematks; and did not stoop to the vulgarity of the day, in order to find arguments to meet his oppo nent. Here ended the first speech. Judge Colquitt was then called on to reply to Mr. Stephens : he arose, and in bis usual happy style, addressed the meeting to some considerable length. He did not, as we un derstand, meet the expectations of many persons; a3 the question of the Bank was not touched, or, if brought up, was too weak to command a notice. It is stated by all parties, that the speech of Judge Colquitt upon this occasion was truly a genteel and respectable one; and that he did not inter sperse it with vulgar anecdotes, as is his custom to do, but that he demeaned himself in a respectful manner, both to his oppo nent and the whig party—-with one excep tion ; that he endeavored to imitate Mr. Ste phen’s voice, and by this means throw Mr. S. off his guard. We are truly rejoiced to see that our Senator is beginning to sustain the dignity of his different high stations; may he continue to improve. The Judge here ended his first speech. Again, Mr. Stephens was before the mul titude: and in a style, peculiar to himself, confuted every argument that had been made by the Judge. He offered to meet any of the democrats, either in public or private debate; that he would hold himself in readiness at any time, and in any place, that would suit the convenience of both par ti s ; that, on today he would meet them in LaGrange and debate the questions, now before the people. Several speeches were made by Loth gen tlemen ; but. we are not correctly informed as to the positions they occupied with refer ence to our State Policy ; if this matter was neglected by both of the speakers, we think a great oversight has been made. Let the politics of our Slate be attended to, as well as those of the general government. We deem it necessary to state, that du ring the debate between Judge Colquitt and Mr. Stephens, that the Judge was quite in disposed. This, we presume, (!) was the only reason why he was so badly used up by Mr. S. (?) We have said that the Judge was done- over ; we have so been informed—and we dare not doubt our informant—for, we here positively declare that our information was directly from the mouth of the rankest Cal houn man in the county: lie states,in sub stance, “sir, I never knew a man so per fectly used up, as was Judge Colquitt, by Stephens; nor would I have believed it on any other testimony, than that of hearing and seeing for myself.” Another reason ; all parties admit that the Whigs were in the gteatest ecstacies ol joy; LET IT NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Jackson assailed the Bauk because its Directors refused to make it a political machine, and he took from its vault? the Pub lic money, and put into the vaults of numerous Pet Banks, telling them through his Secreta ry, to discount freely upon it. That these Pet Banks did a? they were required and thereby caused other banks to loan freely, and hundreds of new banks to be charter ed, which made paper money so plenty that it began to be used for speculating purposes. That these speculations were so numerous and reckless, that the sales alone of the Public Lands rose from an average af about three Millions of dollars a year in value, to twenty- five millions in the year 1836, and imports in creased even in greater proportion, and all rce was driven forward WHIGS OF GEORGIA! The election is near at hand—are you prepared to do your duty to your State, to your country / Would you that the mis rule which you have for years past been governed by, should continue—that your birthright should be sold for not even a mess of pottage—that your enemy should prevail in the contest, and for another period ot ten years, that your dearest interest should be suffered to lie prostrate, and you a vanquished foe? II so, make no exer tions between this and the election, and the fate of your State is sealed—the Gov* eminent will continue in the hands of foes to the people’s interest; and you will find entailed upon you, and your children after you, all the evils which those who go for trade and commerce was driven forward into parltt and self, before the country and the the most reckless and ruinous excess of spe- ' eolation. That in this same year, 1836 the last of Gen. Jackson's administration, he referred in Ins message to these ruinous speculations, iu the Public Lands as an indication of puldic pros perity and his party through the country call ed on the people to sustain his administration on accnuut of the high wages and high prices which they obtained ! people are certain to fasten upon you.

Look at your State—look at the condition of your Treasury—look at the decline of trade— look at the low price of produce—the mis erable legislation of the last Democratic legislature—and then determine whether, through your supineness these things shall be allowed to continue. Ask yourselves, and ask the Demociats, what does success on their parts promise for the country? BERED, that they cqnnot, at this Go farther, and ask them what, in their time, be prevailed upon, to go even for a Tariff sufficient to defray the ex penses of Government. LET IT NEVER BE FORGOT TEN, that Mark A. Cooper was one among the strongest friends of the Compromise Act—and, that he is now opposing that act with all of his might and energy. LET IT NOT BE FORGOT TEN, that he, (Cooper) became a de mocrat “from necessity,” and not from choice. LET IT BE REMEMBERED, that Mark A. Cooper is an usurer and extortioner of the deepest dve— and that he is of course a violator of ihe Laws of his Slate. And that he is tinctured strongly with abolition ism. This we believe, because he has under his employment, (in this slave'holding State,) white servants. Old Iriend Guien, of the Augusta Co n . stituiionalist, is now publishing a scries of communications, from the pen of “Craw ford,” an anonymous writer in that paper. We copy his remarks, relating to some of them, and likewise one of “ Crawford’s” last numbers. We give them both without comment—as we think that they will con vey the proper meaning to all parties.

They are compelled to either keep a deadly silence, or to acknowledge that they have literally done nothing, nothing! Will you not then, Whigs of Georgia, buck.- cn your armor, and rally to rescue your be loved State, from the misrule which has disgraced it, both at home and abroad ? Will you not, every man of you, exert all the energy with which he is gifted, be tween this, and the first Monday in Octo ber next, to redeem good old Georgia, and place her on that proud eminence where she once stood ? Surely you will! Sure ly, when, from every quarter of the State —from where the mountain breeze invigo rates the hardy mountaineer—down to the seaboard where ocean’s winds do fan a patriotic people—surely when from all around and about us, you hear of the severing of parly trammels, and witness with your own eyes, that honest men among your foes, are coming out from them to aid you in saving the State—surely when all this is exhibited to you, you will not fail to be active in the contest! No!— we feel that you will not.

ANOTHER REVIVAL OF RELIGION. The Methodist Cnmp-meeting, r,ear this place, that was held on last week and the week before, was attended with great profit A large number of persons professed to find redemption in the blood of the Saviour. The meeting was commenced, carried on, and ended with great interest. Thirty five or forty were added to the church. sold A Gentleman accoring to its modern de finition.—“William Goddard, post master at Petersham, Mass., and a member of sev eral trading and manufacturing firms, has been detected in the commission of forge ries of various sums, amounting in ell to over $41,090. He has been held to bail in tbe sum of only 85.000 for bis appearance at the Criminal Court.” WHAT’S IN THE WIND. This question ha? been repeatedly asked within the last few days, in consequence of the visit to this city of a distinguish! South Caroliniau (Mr. It. B. Itheit—Mr. Cal houn’s Lieutenant.) Is it another Noah mission? Is he a messenger of peace, or a herald of war? Tho results between him and the veteran Editor nave not tranr- pired ; and public opinion is undetermined whether he bore threats of defiance or terns of capitulation. If promises, to be follfiled hereafter could satisfy him, we doubt not lie got as many as he could carry away with him.—Bichmond IVhig. We know this Mr. Rheit,—he writes bis name according to the latest Paris fash ion, thus: It. Barnwell Rheit. Well, what of him? Why, nothing—only that his name is not Rhett, as he would have people believe- What is his name ? His name is It. B. Smith, a man, not overly loaded with the wisdom of Solomon—but one who is any thing for and body—and i any body for any thing. This sell-same | Smith—Rhett, was once a member ot the ’ Legislature of S. C. and a more perfect i humbug never disgraced the Legislative halls of Carolina. He has one redeeming quality, (highly prized now-a-days, how ever;) which is, an inordinate passion for wealth.—He manifested this spirit signally* a few years ago, with a deceased English man, who, upon h:s dying bed, brqueathed to any family in the world his entire estate, (which was immense,) provided that they would individually take upon themselve* the name ol Rhett: this he provided for, so that the name of Rhett should not tun out. Thus, our distinguished Statesman, sold hi? birthright. Those of our readers who may be desi rous of corresponding with this any man s- man, must be careful to direct their letters, Hon. R. Barnwell Rhett. Ksqr., potentate with Mr J. Cataline Calhoun, who is the favorite of M. Anthony Cooper.
