IMPORTANCE Of POLITICAL PARTIES.
Under every government, whether its form
bo inouurchical or democratic, there will al
ways be two panics, ono in favour of enlarg
ing the powers of the government, and tho
uili<„...iri.-tu.vnr_of,restricting ihcni. There
never can be one puny only, for ills not pos
sible, tliot nil the subjects or citizens of any
kingdom orsluteean prenisel'v agree as to the
exact point at which power sfiould be limited,
uml if they differ hut aliair's breutlth that va-
ly difference creates two purties. It is evi
dent however, that in urb trary governments
the {un ties tire further asunder from.each oth
er, titan they are hi limited governments, and
hence tho struggles between the two, when
they toko place, are more violent in the for
mer than in the lutler.
Tl»e existence of parties therefore, arises
from the nature of things, mid so long us they
uto governed- hy principle, so long they ure
beneficial to tho State,' by being 'governed
by principle we mean a consistent adherence
to the .'doctrines respectively advocated ’ by
each. We nieuiMlisi the udvocute of power

the contest between the parlies' cannot bill,ul
timately result in the ustnhhshmct of the Go

which safety is perhaps most usually to be
found; for each of the combatants by closely
watching tho other cun prevent that wide a-
herrutioti from tho standard which might lend,

to anurehy. ' •
The case is widely ditl'eront where tpe par-
lie property belonged to .him, us clearly as 1
Lave proved tlmt all Iish belonged to Dotnit-
)un, e. g.
Major—Tha Custody of every species of
{iiiblie property is a function of the Ex
ecutive.
- Minor—i’ublic money is a species of Pub
lic property.
Conclusion—Ergo, the custody of tho pub
lic money is a function of tho execu
tive, R. E. D.
Show mo a NuliiHcr who could construct
so triumphant a syllogism as this. Yes, sirs,
tltis is reasoning—" whenever or howover ob
tained" [whether delivered or seized] " its
custody always has been uml always "must
be, unless the Constitution is changed, entrus
ted to the Executive," i. e, to the Goticrul—
he isllte unit. Dialeetitinnslike Webstcrmuy
quibble about tlicqigiuki prmcipii in thu Major
which assumes the conclusion, but donl listen
to such people—pray, sirs, inform ute how
eao a syllogism bo the worse from ;i conclu
sion occurring in it twice 1 Is nut the force
of the conclusion thereby doubled! 1 will
maintain “Pugnis ut ralcibus, ungtiibus cl
roMro” as our hero is sometimes dis|Hiscd to
do, [vide force bill] that both premises uud
-conclusion arc strictly legitimate. Hut, asks
a female nnllitier at my elbow, has not the
General retrueied ? Vvlmt a monstrous con
ception! No—he may have graciously con
descended to mutllc iiis thunder iu mercy to
cun- weak m-rvw-, tl,r which tvn otiuutd be hum
bly grateful; but he eautmt have changed, fur
the constitution is still unchanged, and it is
his sworu duty to preserve it; legislation can
do nothing unless the Cot stitutiou is chunged,
aa has beeu ulreudy proved.
It has also been objected by llic foes to or
der uud regular government tliat,thu President
has lent some two or three millions of the puli-
■ lie money oil his ou>n .rcsjKinsibiiity, witliout

Any one cun at once perceive that parties
founded upon such tin unstable basis, can
produce no good, fur they must have their
origin in ignorance, prejudice or corruption.
Sneli unhappily is the actual condition of
parlies in thu United States, The federal
patty w'lriclt has, from tho foundation of the
government used all its influence to strength
en the nnu of the government, in its legisla
tive and judicial dcpurltnents, is now vocife
rous against thu executive department for tlo-
lliut which it would not have dared to
have done, hnd.il not been for tiro encourage
ment so uniformly aflbrded by the federal par
ty, to tho equally high handed usurpation of
Congress. Aud on -die other hand a large
portion of tlie democratic parly, winch has
always udvoculed u strict construction of the
federal constitution is now clamorous in luvtmr.
of u stretch of power by the Executive, quite
us subversive' of the liberties of the country,
ns uuy tiling practiced by Congress, or the
Supremo Court. Thus lliit whigs have tur
ned lories, und the lories have turned whigs,
amt what is more, if the immediate cause of
their present change of sides was removed
they would both turn buck again, to their old
llll-iliilllH.
Iu tho midst, however, of this glorious me
lee, there exist two remnants, one belonging
to the tories aud one to the whigs, who remain
true to their principle*. We allude to that
firm and tried bund of consistent federalists,
who ul ways stood up most manfully lor power,
who have advocated Ute usurpations oi' Con
gress uml thu Supreme Court, und who reso
lutely udhere to Air, Jackson’s usurpations, as
being all of a piece. Tho other is the State
Remedy party, who have always opposed a
latitudiuariau construction uf the {lower of the
federal government, ami who have proved
their consistency, ami devotion to principle,
bv an u.uiform condemnation.of ;-.ll usurped
nutlimity. wliethor.exercised by Cougress, the
Supreme Court, or-iho. Executive. The for
mer are the only uniform lories, the latter the
only uniform whigs,' and upon the doctrines
they respectively iitaintuiu, must future polit
ical contests take place, us soon as one oft he
present rival parties gets cured of its devotion
to the bank; uml thu other of its devotion to
Jacksouism. :r;ivr-'--■■ a:
From tho Examiner.
The Futukk Collection of the Reve
nue,—The recent elections have bellied 10
the conviction uf every mind tlmt was nut sat
isfied before, that the churter of the present
bank of the United Slates cannot be renewed.
With the kuuwu opinions uf Mr. Jackson,
Iherjj lias not been for yeurs the slightest ground
liir anticipating a renewal, unless theiiext con
gress should huve contained two-thirds iu its
favour, uimjhut being now set at rest tiy tlie
result ailudul to, the question ouglil-to be lunk-
«t upon by'the friends of the bauk, as well as
by ii« foes, 10 he conclusively uud forever aet-
f".
tied. This being the case, the managers of
that institution, are now bound to lake steps
for winding up it* affairs, and as the interests
of the Bank a* well as of the eominanity re
quire that the operation should be accomplish:
ed with as little public suffering as possible,
we doubt not dial such measures will be pur
sued as will give general satisfaction- The
statement of iu affairs, published iu tiiis day’s,
paper, show* the advantageous position it oc-
cupies.for closing it* concerns, for it there ap,
pears, tlmt the specie in its vaults, iu.aeeep-
tances running to maturity, and othcr/avuilii-
ble funds, are nearly equal to all claims exis
ting against if, in the form of notes in circu
lation, ile|x>Mte», leaving tho amount of
its loaus on promissory notes, bank stock, and
other securities, very little more than the a-
lriounl of its capital. Nmv it is manifest that
if the Hank should adopt the plau of dividing
its capital amongst its stockholders as fast ns
tiM or twenty per cent, is collected, llicro will
he no great abstraction of money from circula
tion, arid, should the process extend over a
number of years, tinier u deed of bust, the
influence of tho winding up would scarcely
be Jelt. -
This question then, being disposed ul, the
next subject which detnupds the public atten
tion is, a permanent plan for collecting the
revenue. Upon this matter, the public inind
will be divided, and ut the next session of
Congress, a number of different schemes will
no doubt be brought forward, each supported
by a strong party.. .
One party will advocate the creation ot a
hew fcdernl'Bnnk.
Another will udvocute the league of State
Hanks, now iu tho employment of the Go
vernment. .
A third will advocate no Bauk at all, but
will stand tip for the hard money plau, by
which the revenue shall bo collected in gold
and silye;, according to what we have under
stood to he thp provisions of a bill brought
fit-wool last winter in Congress by Geh. Gor
don, of Virginia.
Of those three plans we shall advocate the
lu“t one. We believe u federal Bank' to be
uueoustiliitinnul, aud shall therefore oppose
it. We believe the tendency of a league uf
State Hanks is tp.corrupt the goycrnnient nnd
the people, und we; shall therefqre oppose it.
Hut us wo believe it to be both constitutional
and practicable to colleettlierevenuc in coin';
witliout the intervention,of bunks of any sort,
we shall endeavor to urge the adoption of a
plan that shall have thut for its objeeu-. Our
own )i.uiif:iilar views on this subject, woV.mll
bring forward in oar iTCXrprtperr'nmf ii-tIn-
mean time, will enquire, where is tliC parriblf
who has witnessed the transactions of the past
year, tlmt does not from his heart desire to see
ihe federal government wholly divorced froth
the banking system ? utid who will not-lend
his uid in’ accomplishing that result,if he shalj
be convinced of its feasibility !

Natchez,-Sept. .1834,.
Sib—I havo this moment read, in.the Rich- ;

Montpelier, Va. Aug. 25 1834, which Con
cerns myself and claims, my attention; It -is
true, I did not leave the stage ut Gordonsvillc,
and it is also tree lliot I' knew the President
of ilio United States.tabo at-the hotel at which
die stage stopped to change horses, bin tho in
ference, that the presence of the Prcsideut, or
-of nny other person, inlluonccd my -conduct
on that occasion, is utterly false. I felt indis
posed from fatigue and loss of sleep, and pro-
fered to remain quiet-while tho other passeri-
ccrs were refreshing themselves. It may fiat
tor tho vanity of President Jackson, and doubt-
less did, to-iniagino himself so bold a lion; that'
a feeble mortailiko myself would tremble In
his majesty’s presence. 1 rejoice that. ;f in
any manner ! mny liuvo been the cause of
imparting happiness to this august personage,,
iu the midst of his afflictions, public and prir
'vate. I had the sudsfueftuu. (or ratiipr, the
mortification, regarding him os tho Chief Mq-
ttisfrntnj to look upon, him surrounded by.^ngq
drivers and ostlers, in die portico of the. ho,
tel, but I confess the scene (lid uut constitute
nny particular inducement with mo io form
one of the coterie. Of his liberal offer to pay
tho landlady.formybreakfast, and.the lan
guage which ho used on this occasion, it may.
bo proper for me at this time to say only, a few
words, reserving further developctncnts until
I shall arrive at die city of Washington, So
long ns Gen, Jackson made the columns of
his prnstituted organ the ‘Globe,’ din medium
of fulminating his vile calumnies against me,
I bay* thought it due to my own dignity, and
self-respect, to remain silent; but since ho bus
disrohed himself of this cunning, and forget
ful of the high station which unhappily for the.
country he occupies, he made’ himself the
founder of personal slanders of myself and
family on his own ‘responsibility,’ I shall treat
him as becomes'a man wlipso sensibility 1ms
been thus wantonly assailed. If tlie asser
tion of Gen. Jackson was true ns it is ridicu
lously false, that I induced-my wife to-marry
uie hy a promise of twenty thousand dollars
•a lter dower—I have at least the consolation
to know that I -did not steal her from the law
ful owner ! ! perhaps Mr. Jackson may un
derstand-the allusion. As to tho dower of
which he spcnltR, I think it would lie tnoro dif-i
ficult for him to purchase it at five times the
sum lie has imagined, of tho lady, who has
attracted Ins sympathy, than he lms found io
specnlato on tlie choice cotton lands of Missis
sippi, at tlie minimum price of die Govern
ment. Hut his cup of malicious vituperation
it would seem, could not be filled by any thing
short of the foul calumny that I was paying
off this dnwer hy stripes daily inflicted on the
wife whom-I had thus purchased. This in
famous libel on me ns a private gentleman,'
cnlls.for a reply which cannot he made iu this
communication.', Mr. Jackson hits entered
the nrena with me, not iu his character as
President of. the United Slates, but b* |i|aiu
Andrew Jackson—robes off, and .hands mifet-
tered. He is well aware of the rent “rcspoii-
sibility” which he incurred, and must men it;
unless he is as recreant iu ehivulv. as lie is in
veracity. Tho word of a Prince lias been
said to be sacred and inviolable ; that of a
President of a great nation ought to be equal
ly so. Will not every high minded, honorable

COTTON MARKET.
Altujli excitement has prevailed in our Oot-
ton Aljirket during the past week'. On;Wcd-
nesday evening last, buyers were generally
qcliy/, aud a rapid advunco was made in pri
ces. Several lots were sold on that day at
]4opnts. On Thursday 14 1-2 was considered
ihu average price. It is.now selling ft’om 14
1-2 to 14 3-4 cents. We would advise our
friends to bring in their Colton ns speedily aJ
possible. It is probable that the prices
may continue at their present stand for some
Jays, and it is possible that a small advaueo
may be made. Wo know of no reason for
this sudden, rise in prices, and therefore, wc
’would be unwilling to see our planters hold
ing back their Cottoq with the expectation of
higher ones.
The Columbus Hank.—We have never
witnessed more excitement than was manifes
ted yesterday, in relation to this Institution.
A number of bill holders made a sudden rush
for the specie, aud at 10 o’clock, the counters
were covered with the shining dust, and nit
’ihe officers wore busily engaged in the work
of dealing out. The cause of this manoeuvre
poem's to have beou a report which gathered'
tyiiM tbm the Hunk was broke. In our lives,
vis do not-recollect to.liavo seen a.more.diver
sified assemblage of countenances, than were
crowded together in a few minutes after the
jrepori w.as-heard, demanding tho officers to
pay up the chink. We have not heard tho
amount of tho run.
-Our planters need not play away a moment
on account of this matter. Bring in your
Cotton. If you dont like Columbus money,
you cun get -any oilier sort, We make' tiiis
remark, because we understand that this run
upon one of our Banks has been gotten up by
persons interested in turning' our planter’s
trade from Columbus.,
Nothing of importance has yet been done
by the Legislature. The titno has been oc
cupied in reforming tho judicinry, and in giv
ing notices &c, for leave to report bills. The*
iutbrmatiou contained in the letter of our cor
respondent below, is all that we have receiv
ed, of interest. Wo hope our correspondent
■n;ill regularly communicate to us such itoms
as may be interesting.

Millkdoeville, Nov. 8th 1834.
.The Union is in danger. - A citation has
been served on the .Governor, issuing from tile
Federal Bench, culling in question a decision
made by the Judge of the Cherokee Circuit,
in tho cundcmiraitun of a Cherokee Indian in
the county of Murray. Yesterday evening
the Governor laid it before tho Senate, with
his Alessage thereon,. It would bave amused
you, to lmvo been here and witnessed the eon-
sternatiuu it produced. Dawson moved to
havo five hundred copies of the Governor’s
second messugo printed. It was opposed by
some of our good Union men, unless they
would print with it Wra. G. Springer’s letter
._—.i 1 , ' Judge Hooper.—
TuAt portion of onr fellow citizens who n |
I'qw weeks ago professed such abiding faith
in the ‘power and. purity of the Supreme
Court of the United States, 'have now an op
portunity of practically surrendering to that
immaculate' tribunal, the criminal jurisdiction
of Georgia. Another citation has been served
u|ion the Governor and Altolficy General,
requiring >this Slate to put off her'Bovercign
character, end like some contemptible corpo
ration, appear on a certain day at the City of
Washington to answer to'her master, for cer
tain contumacious conduct therein charged
and set forth. His Excellency has, it seems
from his Message, determined to treat the
aforesaid citation with the contoupt it de
serves, and the State Rights party will wo
doubt not, stand hqbly by him in resisting
this third attempted usurpation of the federal
judiciary upon the inherent .rights aiid sove
reignty of this State, But what becomes of j
the Governor’s friends, who contend that the
states have no rights and that 'the Supreme
Court can commit no wrong ? They have
risen to power upon the false cry, that to re
sist usurpation, is treason, and now before
they are warih in their seats, a cose occurs,
in which they must cither renounce their cher
ished doctrines or forsake the standard of their
.leader. He, Union man as he is, fidds him
self compelled by the circumstances to resist
the atte npled aggression', thereby resorting to
tlie practical application of a certaiu “heresy"
which lias'been of late the constant theme of
ridicule; whilst they must crouch in terror,
stand mute, or join in resistance too. Now
the Supreme Court is a component putt of
the general government; recoghized'by and
organized under the federal constitution; and
how dock it happen, its mandates may be set
at nought by a State, whilst that same State
would incur the guilt iff treason, lor resisting
the legislative tyranny of that very Govern
ment ? Now, tlie fact is something like this,
the Governor and the dominant party in this
State are perfectly willing to submit to every
kind of injustice, provided it comes from the
hand of the President or of Congress; but the
very moment tho Supreme Court marches
forth to our ruin, they wax prodigious pugna
cious, and snuffing the popular breeze, bid defi
ance to all. its thunders. Why so'l Because
there is an idea abroad, that' tho President
will not interfere between a Stato and .tbe fed
eral judiciary, and because it is thought that
the court has no physical power at hand, to
enforce its decrees. But let a decree be onco
made against Georgia, and let the Lion at the
head of affairs, show his teeth. and mutter u
surly hint that it shall be obeyed, and Gov.
Lutnpkin is not tho.man we tnkobimlo.be
it'he don’t bow in obedience to the mandate.
Although our friends are in a minority, this
day of trial cannot but be n day of. triumph
too... The doctrines,-for tlie advocacy of
which they have suffered a temporary defeat,
are found to be the ones on which alone their
opponents can hope to save the character of
the State. In a short month after the party
in power havo triumphed by ' abusing and
slandering out faith, that very parly are com
pelled' to embrace and act out'our principles
or sink under tho pressure of public indigna
tion. ■ Well indeed may the State Rights par
ty bo proud to . say to Georgia, that we huve
stood by yon in every trying conflict; and are
uow us ready as yottr bantering .Executive to
peril all for your interest, your sovereignty,
and your sacred honor. ,

again under the consideration of the Senate.
It -was yesterday, laid on the table, and by
Dawson again called up. Various motions
were made, the Stato Rights party desiring
immediate action on the question; the ad
verse parly, professing & desire of ho delay,
yet by a vote after taking tlie yeas and nays,
it was again laid on the table, and the Senate
adjourned to meet again on Monday. What

that time, remains for Monday to disclose;—
A largo majority however of tho Union party,
will stand by our Slate Rights doctrine, they
dure not oppose it, for tho reason that it would
interrupt tho feelings and interest ot' too many
of our citizens. If in disobeying the mandate
of tlie Supreme Court, the President should
determine according to the principles con
tained iu his proclamation, that he is sworn
to havo tho laws executed, then we shall
stand in the attitude of bidding defiance to all

to the power granted in the Force Bill, wo

To this first precious bantling of our 'titled

of falsehood, as editors we are,called upon to
l>ay a passing notice,: We are charged there
in With running mad at. the event of the into
contest ofjiavlies'and endeavoring to 'bite ev
ery thing in our way.-- New here is surely
some mistake : for wc.have no remembrance
to have been out of humor since the, late
elections, notwithstanding the malediction, of
a madman has been, hopped upon us, and tho
cruel prophecy has went forth, dooming us to
tho unfeeling curso qf posterity in a few-fast

They are in.no danger of being bitten. The
fate of the dog at Islington that in a fit of
madness bitjtlie meanest woman in that most
abandoned of all villages, admpnishes us
against (he danger of such suicidal conduct.

that the-poison-lost its .cflect on Acr, , and the

be our late. To make a short story of a long
one, we have entirely tuomucli reverence and
respect for the first great law of nature, called
seirpreservation, to bite a thing, from whose,
vcijoin burnt brandy could not save us, and
whose natural poison passing into our systems
would bid defiance to ail the inediciue and
all the steam, that the .skill of the physician
or the- quackery of the erapyrick could rally
to our rescue. • .
In the flight of a bold .and daring imagina
tion, the shade .of Don Quixote has beeo sum
moned from its sleep of ages, aud we liavo
been -charged with tlie wild extravagance of
that much abused personification of modern
Chivalry, in mistaking windmills for giants
and lieids of cattle tor men in arms. To this
charge truth, a tiling rather out ot vogue with
a certaiu individual that shall be nameless,
compels us to plead guilty. We did like tho
illustrious old Don—and wiser men might
havo doue the same—mistake for a giant this
worthy “P. iff .’; who turns out to be. a wind'
mill, und we did also in tlie same spirit of an
illdirected chivalry, mistake the clovcnfoqtcd
cattle that lire endeavoring to sustain him
for men iudee-l in anus, bu for such us would,
in the hour uf danger instead of using them,
prove themselves tike AlcFingul’s mulitin,
"well trained in the manual exerciseof heels."
Such mistakes were natural cnuugli to those
