* THE ELECTIONS.
Oun friends abroad will, no dotibl, bo pleased
JWHjeogeo, *s in truth arid fact.
presaion tliot the Abolitionists of tha North Ond
tire NullHicrsof the South were striving together
for the some vile purpose. Public opinion has
stamped his first effort in that way with the seal
of falsehood, ond now, after lying ttill for a sea
son, he renews the charge and reiterates the will
ful, deliberate, and barefaced calumny. The nut-
lificrs are charged with.a desire to break up the
Union by discussing the merits of certain memo
rials presented to Congress by the Abolitionists,
conveying, in tho language of the Federal Union,
“flagrant insult to the peoplo of the South, and
threatening us in their consequences with infer
nal havoc.” Now the charge of cnpt. cuthbert
is, that the Southern members dared to tell these
memorializing wretches that they lied; the charge
is, that they would, not submit to tho sneaking
conduct or Van Burcn and his friends without
complaint; the charge in short is, that whilst Van
Burcn and his friends were manoeuvering to hold
with tho Abolitionists and run with the South, the
Southern members who saw through the trick,
Sinned against tlto rights of tlicir country,by bold
ly proclaiming their determination to resist at ev
ery step. The doctrine of this editor, seems to
be, that the South must submit to every wrong,
hear every species of unjust and fiondliko inter
ference with her properly, and that her talented
and high-minded sons, who see and hear it all,
must close their mouths for fear of injuring tho c-
lection of Van Burcn. Have we come talliis?—
People of Georgia, you who nro deeply nnd im
mediately interested, look well to llila mattor 1
The worst part’of this shatnolcsa editor’s con
duct is, that his charge is false. It is true, that
whilst others wore debating ;he memorials and
whilst they were presented in a debatable shape,
tho Nullifiers, in common with others, took pan-
in thi debate. ’ But so soon as,Mr. Variderpoole
madon motion, which by tho rules of tho house,
was not debatable, and which 'in foot closed the
discussion, every Nullilicr in Congress voted for
that motion. Will the Federal Union dony this ?
They then flung back the charges ol the memorial
and Us supporters, whilst these charges wero be
ing made, and closed tho altercation the first op
portunity that presented itself.. For this, they are
branded with every crime ,that constitutes moral
treason, and by whom? Ask yourselves by
ivhoml ’
Knowing that tho charge, to which wo have
alluded, did not attach to and could not bo fixed
upon tho State Rights party of Georgia, the adroit
and veritable captain, endeavours to make amends
for His'former conduct in tho following Author ex
tract from the same editorial.
“We owe it (o the nullifiers in tho last legislature
to exempt them from the roproachcR contained iri
theso remarks. Altho’ we do not approve of rite
modification, which they attempted to mako in
the resolutions that were adopted by the general
nssombly,yot .we. deem them tojiavo acted as
patriots iri the support which they gave toThese
lesolniioos.”, /
This endorsement oftlto patriotism of our friends
coming from the source it dues, we fear can do.
thorn but little service. From a high-minded and
honorable editor, one who would not be guilty of
the business of indiscriminate slander; upon a del-,
icale subject, for the paltry purpose of political ag
grandizement, such an acknowledgement would
he thankfully received; hut from one, who on a
former occasion made this foul cltargo e ven against
those whose feelings ho would now soften, wo te
ceivo it, as wo trust mtr.party will receive it, as tho
of the land they lorn polluted by * **f
they know that a war once begun, whether rig®
nr wrong, would rouse the martial spirit of th*
nation from centre to circumference. Yes, they
know this ; but should they oo that account, fo»
any mean purposes of party, forany contemptible
political triumph, waste the lives of the peopl*
ami the treasure of the country in a war, which
might have been, and ought now, if possible to
avoided ? Will they dare forget that the true pol
icy of the government is peace, and that he wh«f
destroys that policy un necessarily, is the friend of
ambition and an enemy to the human race t
We have spoken thus seriously, because we (eel
justified in so doing, from the signs of the ume%
and not from nny desire to create or foster unno*
cessary anxiety. Mr. Barton, our chnrge d aflaile
Paris, has according to instructions, made a pdf* -d
emtory demand, of the five millions due
Franco, the payment of which'lias been refused#
According to his further instructions, he has de
manded his.passports, and before this time, left
that country. What will next happen, who oui
tell ? Tho'drama is fast drawing to its cntasCTo#
phe, and w_o look with anxiety to the future court*
of our government. If difficulties of a serious na
ture can bo avoided, it is due to tho character of
the country and tho* rights of the whole people,
that they should be ; if the calamities ot an unne
cessary wur mustcomc upon us, all we can say
i, let it come, and let the responsibility rest where
it ought.. '

will be able, not only to faco their adversaries, but
also to curry the day by increased majorities.—
These elections wo admit, are manors not to bo
particularly boasted of, for surely, tho common
tense of the community should not he insulted by
any show of feeling at mi event so natural,-as the
triumph of those who are seeking tho defeat of
the worst enerity this country ever had. Tho
work has been commenced, and if our friends are
■fthe to themselves, the constitution, and tho great
principles ou which they act, we will so cripple*
the conjuror here, as to send him halt and lame,
through the balance of tho Stale. Let us then,
one and all, now ond hereafter, who are opposed
to the New York Regency, rally around one com
mon standard, and do battle against the, hypo
critical wretch, who through life, has been the
enemy of the South; and now, to win the'yetes of
her generous sons, pretends to be her best friend'
But we have said that victory has pcrchcjl up
on the insultet) banner of our party. Here is tho
proof. On Saturday last, John Fontaine, was e-
lcclcd Mayor oftlto city, by a majority of 25 votes
over Gen. Watson, and G. IV, Dillard, Thos, G.
Gordon, Tho's. C. Evans, E. Sigourney Norton,
H. S. Smith, nnd E. L. IViltich, wero at the same
time elected Aldermen, all by handsome majori
ties. Vary well done, and now again:
On Monday last, como on the election for coun
ty oflicers; Col, Asa Bates, was elected Sheriff,
Gerard Burch, Clerk of tho Superior Court, John
Toumsend, Clerk of tlto Inferior Court, Henry Gee,
Tax Collector, G. IV, Short, Receiver. JtoA'f. C.
IVeleh, Coroner oml Mansfield Torrance Esq.
Justice of the Inferior Cuurt. All, yee,'every ono
of thorn not only free from tho crimo, but above
the suspicion of “modern democracy," and “Van
Burcn Republicanism.”
It seems to us then, if we were gifted with tho
spirit of boasting, wherewith our. neighbors are
blessed, we might indeed indulgo that spirit mod
erately, without tho fear ol censure. In city and
county, our friends have been triumphant. Nota
man of the opposite party, from constable to Alay-
or, front coronor to high Shcrifl*, has been elected;
goad had and indittarant, horse foot and draggoons,
have been routed and defeated, bcaton and dis
tanced,' loood mul gammoned. So may it ho.
now and forever, with our opponents ond all oth
ers, who under tho specious name of republicans,
seek to hoist to tho Presidential chair, such a man
as Mania Van Burcn.
" ABOLITIONISTS AND NULLIFIERS.
These co-workers aro engaged in tlicir unholy
vocation in Congress. They seem benr, with
equal madness, on rending the Union asunder.
Tho abolitionists introduced memorials fur thu
abolition of slavery, conveying flagrant iusult to
the people of the South, nnd threatening us, iu
tlicir consequences, with infernal Imvoc. What
filler opportunity cun tho nullifiers desire ? How
could they better arrange tiro game for themselves?
Tu?V stand like blood-hounds, scenting the tain
ted guic. and mod lor their human prey. They
determine il* agitato tlto subject; they "rush into
debate. By geccral, indiscriminate reproaclt ami
iusult, they endeavor to provoko the entire people
of the North to haired of .'be South. By exciting
the pride, nnd alarming the frars or the people of
the South, they endeavor to exasperate them a-
gninsttheir fellow-citizens of the N.'.-tflu They

THE DIFFICULTY WITH FRANCE.
We confess our inability to conjecture whnt
will bo foe result of this unholy dispute, between
our government and the authorities of France.—
Tho point"ID tvldcll foe fon£ pending difficulty
has been reduced, though frivilous in the extreme,
seems, at present, not likely to bo amicably set
tled and adjusted. From first to last, there has
been an unaccountable disposition manifested on
both sides, to bring on a state of things, which ev
ery lover of his.country must deplore. Tho of
fensive language of tho President's Message, nt
tho opening of the Inst Congrces, is seized upon
by France, and made tbo flimsy pretext for refu
sing (o pay a just debt, although tho Congress
formally, and the country virtually, disavowed
the language of that Message. An explanation is
demanded, which that disavowal had already giv
en, and which the letter of our Minister should
have rendered still more satisfactory. Neither
party, however, appears to he sntLticd, and fur
might they cere, are willing to plunge the two
countries >n all the horrors of war, about a paltry
sum of money, cot one dollar in a thousand, of
which will ever enter foe pocket of mt American
citizen. The greater part uf the amount is nun-
due to Rothschild, and other bankers in Europe,
wliu have purchased the claims from tho original
holders, and for whose benefit, tho people of tho
Uuiled Stales will probably he called on to wage
