Col Crockett A great deal lias been
said in tho newspaper* concerning col.
Crockett who lias been again elected a
member of congress from Tennessee. It
was the mislortune of the colonel to have
received no school education in his youth
and since to have had but liule opportunity
to retrieve that det'eci ; but lie is a man ol
li strong mind and of grout gooduess of
heart Too marniei of Ins remarks aro so
peculiar -hut dicy excite much attem on, &.
are repealed becauso of their originality;
hut there is a soundness, or point in sonic
of them which shews the exercise of a
well disciplined judegment— and: pe think
it not easy for an unprejudiced nrnit to
commumcuic wub he colonel without feel
ing Ihu. he is honest. Wo have had sunn
opportunity ot knowing the calibre of many
members ot congress loi 25 or 30 yeais
past and have met with many, voiy many
far less capable of nscerminmg truth than

of their place—and of no more real u. o than

GOV LUMPKIN AND
THE TARIFF:
We said sometime ago something about
bis excellency’s being a tariff man; as yet
we have heard nothing from any of the
Federal papers about this—We believe that
it was in ono of his speeches in congres;
last winter that Mr. Calhoun, in defending
himself against the charge ol inconsistency,
which was made against him on accouut of
his having boon an advocate of the tariff
in 18IG and wishing to Nullify it in 1832,
said that a latgo portion of the South went
with him in 1815. The Charleston Cour
ier to show that tho assertion was not true,
published the veto of tho Southern Slates
up,m that question in IS IG ; and WILSON

gia who voted with Mr. Calhoun for the
larlff. The Courier doubtless did not at
dm time inflect what effect this publication
might have upon Lumpkin in Georgia, or

mo strong for his partiality for Lutnpkin

Col. Milton in his defence ; and the head and front
of my offending, was zeal and integrity in his
cause. For this lam libillcd in a public Journal:
I had hoped this unpleasant occurrence would
bring no new ovils in it9 train, that the public ex
citement, already very high, would be permitted to
subside without any attempt* to inflame it anew.—
and that it is not so. has been occasioned by no act
of mine, that the charge, and my denial may not bo
misunderstood, I repent the id. I now quote from
the Telegraph of the 11th inst., which isbofare me.
It differs slightly from that recited in my Card of
last week, which the public will rocolleot, was from
memory, nnd I will nere state that the Telegrarib
of the lith arrived in Columbus, on the night of the
24th, making an interval o.113 days from the time
of publication, until it* at rival hero, the route from
Macon is direct, and the communication daily, the
packet therefore, could hardly have miscarried,
still it may not have been design, the public will
judge;perhaps the imputation in iny Card, may ac
count tor its arrival at dll, anl if it is asked why
they should he retained, thejpublic will find an am

statement in tbo Telegraph is upon the authority of

It is curront in Columbus that they (I shall be «»•

understood object and design of the Convention.
We feel ourselves safe in venturing tho assertion
that nothing was more foreign from the expecta
tion of the people inthe formation of tho Convention
than an intorlercnco with this fiutu-e of our funda
mental policy. The Federal Basis of Represen
tation was ingrafted in our Constitution at the

The present high pr.ces of cotton, con
nected with » scutci-y of water in most ot
•tho manufacturing districts in New Eng
land have lessened the consumption ol cot
ton for ffie last two months at least 33 per
ceut. from what it usually is. There arc
now a considerable numbor of the mills
partly and wholly stopped from the above
causes; which with the present prospec of
the cotton crop this year, by far better
than that of any preceding year, both in
anality and quautity, must soon produce a
reduction in the price of cotton or a cor
responding advnnco on goods.

TO TUG PUBLIC. . ,
In tho Macon Telegraphottho lith inst. I stand
charged as one of tho Methodists ot this place, a-
guiti*t whom is ullodgod, a conspiracy with -Mil-
ton, in the death of Camp; to which 1 fcrl bound,
a* a citizen of (ho State, and member and Jlinistor
of tho Methodist Episcopul Church, to reply;--not
that the blander, could injure ine or the church,4ti
this community where tiie facts are known-but that
it was intended to have that effect nbroidj I am
unable to conceive of any jn.*t cause, why Lie au
thor ofthnt letter wished to censure rtie, r or I
have continued inactive throughout the wjole of
this unfortunate transaction, mid attended Ito my
bueiness, a* Min'wtor of thy Methodist J.j Lie opal
Church in Colurahur.—l can conceive ol iL eU.er
reason, than the fiict, that J <un u Methodistiwinch
worn* to bo enough for the tongue or pen of Homo
writer* on this flubject; tbo fuct alledged against
tno, and for which I am denounced a woll lj
clothing &c. is that Gamp was pointed mi bfme
to <'owart, n witness ou whom (as the wriforeaya^
Mdton mainly relied on iii» trial:—Thi* jb »o re-
presented to the public and doullllef- Lo with
that intention,as lo make the impression, that I
took an active part, and aided in the death ofCamp
intending, thereby to excite pnblj* prejudice n-
euinst me, us well as the church;-tli« cluirgo is
false and slanderous-and all who leurd the teste
many (on which 1 rely to sustAin ire in this asser
tion) must be and are convinced ottbo Ijict It is
true I pointed out Gamp, to Cowirt ot Jefferson
county but under tlm following circmnsiHncen, ;.nd
which wore testified t» be [ore tie eourt-Mr
Gowarl and myself were at tho dot ol (1 Hunk)
Beardsley & Go’s. Store on liman Street, wli-n
Millo:i rode by—and Gamp w*i attbe sumo time
passing down the street. I obeereil to Cowart
there was Gamp-and I leared tha the difficulty
between him and MiUun, would ao*ro day end fa-
ally, or in bad conseque.uce#—and \dt llii* occurred
Mike 16th of July, nearly one monu be.ore Camps
death land it cannot he at tango oi extraordinary
(the Lord huvii morcy o,i me lor polluting
my pen with such n man’s name,) when he
heard thu report ol tlio gun, exetajmod,
“Milton lias killed Camp; I must go and
employ Ivrrson for his defence as M. re
quested me tp do as soon as I hoard the gun
fire.” Aud strange lo toll, lie guessed it
exactly—M. had murdered C. and somo
ono outplayed Iverson u few minutes aficr.
But when this gentleman heard the testi
mony on tlio trial for com-.iilniniit, he nobly
refused lo.serve, he withdrew from the case
because his honorable feelings would not
permit him to advocate sm*h base conduct.
To conclude the offensive catalogue, lour
methodist lawyers appeared in this defence,
and when the unrighteous verdict was re
turned, [he 1 little thing, whose name shall
not contaminate mv pen a second time, ran
up to him and cried out, “Milton, give us
your paw.” Ami to him most be nwarded
the unenviable distinction of being preomi
nently worthy lo touch a savage pitw and
to press it close to his ignoble heart—at
foul receptacle of every thing which is low,
huso, and detestable. Tim blood of Lamp
stains the skirts ofthe church—whether in
tentionally or otherwise I cannot presume
to determine. It m *v foi* ought l know lie
n parallel for Ivory’s caso at the north.
Let tho chprcil investigate the conduct ot
these tollers and busy bodies—il (omul mi-
nol been confirmed. Jones, who yen know I ly assert Hint tbe charge against ratification on tho

Atid yet another Methodist, Harwell, s( , rv j„,. tho Federal Constitution na Georgia. And
yet there is not ono of there States that haa thoir no-
gro population represented in their Legislatures.—
Facts are.’stubborn things Mon should bo honest
with themselves. This pretended .'.'..j.jction to
Ratification is theder;;„ r r oaArt ofdes going poli
ticians. No man’who will investigate tho subject
can believe that oac individual in a political point
of view, hecnuHu of his propeity has higher anil
exclusive privileges over nnother, the doctrine is
monstrous. And when the excitement of [arty
feeling shall have subsided and tho honest labor
ing part of the community shall think for them
solves, they will then discover, tho false reasoning
and want of sincerity by tiioso whd are opposing
ratification on the ground of endangering of Fedor
at Basis. It is again said that the reduction as pro
posed is very Inconsiderable, now let (acts be sta
ted, each county is entitled under tho present con
stitution 10 oao senator—nadcr the proposed a-
mendment it will tako two counties to constitute a
senatorial district, therefore the number of senators
will bo ono half, hole is at once a reduction of forty
five senators and the House of Representatives tho
reduction will bo at least thirty two, making a re
duction in all 77 members. Not only so but tlio
proposed amendment restricts, has placed a limit
bovond which the number never cun go still wo
are told that a reduction of 77 ia inconsiderable and
inadqouaie.'licrn is an absurdity that sliould arrest
the notice of every woll disposed man. tot each
man ask his own consciencn if a reduction of77
mombersin Legislature by which the State and the

In alt other respects toe reuil must be complete.
