Cant without pressing his Excellency taithei, ;
made a bow and n tired.
About three we< ks after tlie_ni-i/tib«>r v. Jm i
bad Seen named called upon tue Govcr. Gr, i
nu.du complaint and demanded-n warrant
•gainst one of his rmighbitrs tor kiiii. g a deer,
contrary to law. “What evidence,” ticked
the Governor have you i:i rupport of your
complaint ?” “Why replied the coiiipl.mmiit
he told me himself he killed the deer, and
more Than that gave me a quarter of<hu veni
son,” “I; deed ?’ lu id the Guven or, “and
how did you find it * Was it eatable at tins
tune of the rear? “O, x yefl »ir. r.' plicd the
complainant, ‘it wne really fat-—wi have had
an open winter, you know, i*ir,, and the deer
has Jkifon a field «>f wheat -belonging to the
man that killed it ni dw; Bas fat as de* r usual,

closure of facts the Governor «ugg' stnl to the
comptmiant whether it would not b • belter to
let the thing pass off without any prosecutio:!.
* You ought to cm sider,” said he “ we are i
a new can itry',nrovisio is arb.,B > scarce m nv of

this venison was fat, and had b.eomo so lend
ing on the wheat o! the imighfo'r who kill'd it.
lu addition to this you tick owledgg he g-'V"
you a quarter of the venison. Now under all.
the circumstances, would it not he considered
unreasonable and even ungrateful io insist on
prosecuting this neighbor, who by your own
account, has been so kind to you.-”
But notwithstanding thus .■ sugge tip fl,this,
■econd Schylock continued tn press his suit,
observing to the Governor, “ I know my right
air—l know I am entitled t> one half of the
legal penalty— l also know, sir, yon ar.; swor
to maintain and execute the law—you cannot,
you dare not disallow’ my complain/ and deny
me that benefit by law?'’ Th ■ eomplui it was
filled, a warrant issued upon it and th i d-'li-i
quent waa arrested and brought before the
court and being put to plead to the matters
charged in the complaint, pleaded guilty.
As soon ns the Governor hid pronounced
the sentence of the law upon hen, the delin
quent ill a mild but firm tone of voice replied.
“ eitunted.as I am I cannot undertake to pay a
fine of forty shillings—l feel unw.lli ig to
starve ' tnv family by shunning my back from
the lash of the whip—l shall offer it as a sat
isfaction in lieu of the fine.”
The Governor accordingly m ade out and
delivered to the constable a w rrant ot execu
tion—a knowledge of the prosecuting had
aroused a spirit of indignation among tlm neigh
bora against the prosecution, and had brought
them together to attend and heir the tri il.—
The del nquent presented his nuked body to
the officer, observing to him th it il would not
be necessary to tie his hands, as h>> should nei
ther make resistance nor attempt to escape.—•
The constable tied a light tow string to th
end of a short stick and bega > t-i perform Ins
duty by strokes more suitable to brush a wav
flies than to inflict pnin upon th 1 back ofa ctim
Util. The Governor, who stood by with hi
law book under hts arm. counted for the cm
stable-f. and as soon ns ten were numbered
cried out, “stop sir, let me see how the I <w
reads !” Then opening the book. read, “ tin
other moiety to him who shill stm for aid
prosecute the same to effect.” “ This pr<>.
auditor is entitled to one h- If of the penalty

ten etripiW O, but stop a little,’’ said he,
star'ing back. “ touch me if you dare ! —Whv.

and made some attempts to escape. Rut th
bystanders regarding the comm ind of the G->v
enmr more than the rem-msiranc- s of ilte com
plainant instantly laid hands on him, not i i the
most tender and delicate manner, and havi g
bared his back by the assistance of cards placed
him in a posture of hugging a tree, made room
for the approach of the officer. The Inn
string was now exchanged f„ r n and
cient horsewnip. “Mr. Constable,” siid'hi
Governor, “you are acquainted with the cir.
CUinstances attending this case—l hope you
will perform your duty faithfully.”
“Yes please your Excellency,” replied 'h
constable, ‘ I think 1 know my du v, und 1

NO. 2.
TO JOHN C. CALHOUN.
We assert, and claim your sancti >n to the
'ruth of what we assert —that Mi. CLAY has
a i wax s mail tai. ed th.it the States tie Vi r surreu
lori d any control over the suhj ct o slaverv
—that they would not have entered into our
constitutional Urnoti, without a distinct and
implicit res. rv.ition of theit entire jurisdiction
o er so vital an institution—that they never
did or could submit that to the commo.i w ill
of the partnership, which was strici ! y a do
mestic, peculiar, d. hcate interest. Ttlal it
rests, then foe, w ilh the States alone iti which
it exists, to continue, modify, or abolish it.
That it b longs to each State, to do iu the
premis- s, as to each, according to its peculiar
ciiciimstaiic.es, ami its patticular interests, it
may seem fit, wiltiout reference to each other,
or to the General Government. That for the
I General G'>verment in uny way to iaierfmc.
IS usnrpalio i, anu imconstituiioniil lb sti lt'. ;
a id a violation of the spirit and of the funda
mental compromises of t he Constitution, w Inch
can done furnish a basis sufficiently broad and
deep to preserve the Union, and, hold us to
gether as one people. 1, such opinions, al
ways maintained, never violated. d> fended at
all hazards, constitute an ab ditiouist, then is
Ur. Clay mi abolitionist. We will proceed
to the occasions, when these principles were
declared by Mr. Clay, and formed iha basis of
liis legislative action, 'i'he first occasion will
ever be rem inhered as a momontous eta in the
history of the country. The partial still re.
calls it with trembling. Nullification prodtt. !
ced a dangerous cxeiieme.it; hut that was
but a local spasm, co dined in its extent ami
controlled and neutralized by ueigbormg and
counter influetiCi.s. But the Missouri qn.-w.
tioa convulsed tho whole ln.d ; it provoked
and summoned t to-fl. ry and intense action,
al! the alnepiug but jen'ans passimja growing
out us tho cha:ucu:risi;cj of fan ‘
N nth and South. Brethren on either side of’|
i - Potomac stood in grim array, ami ster j
"siihty. f.i a twinklm-g, it seemed as if w« I
i id become tw o people, and the Union were at 1
; end. But the evil days had not yet arri
ed.—Through the instrumentality <»f William
L>w odes imd Henry C ay.it was postponed
> a date, it is our f. rvent w ish,that all sincere
overs of our cou dry, may never live to see,
i dto deplore. The Missouri question will
>e remembered as the first occasion upo.: (
'.vliieh it was attempt, d to m ike an injurimts
iid invidious distinction between the slave
Holding and mm sl.iveh.ddin Stales. It was
upon, the application of .Missouri for admission
into th : U ion. Her admission was icsisted
■ >'. the ground that sir* was a slave holding ter
tstory, and not a portion of the original ter
ritory of ihe U-'it' d Slates, and it was attempt
cd to impose or, her as the co dttion of’ her
reception into the co federaev, the entire nbo
litiou of slavery wi hi-e her limits. This
movement against the slave!.olding States
seems to have I.mud its head and centre i;i
New York I; brought th,, democrat Van Bu
ren, and the federalist Rufus King into tiarmo
uioua atiion.—Mr. Van Bmtm gave his hear
ty support as the most enthusiastic exponent
and advocate of this movim -m. For the sake
of precision, and as an illustration of the
ground taken by the opponents of the adtnis
ston of Missouri, we quote the resolutions of
i the New-York L' gislature, voted for by Mr.
-Van Buren, instructing its representatives in
Congress. It is as follows :
“VV h' Fens, the inhabiting of the further ex
tension of slavery in the United Slates is n
sid'j -ct ot deep concern tn the people of this
I State; itnd whereas, we consider slavery as
inn , vii much tube deplored, and that (very
i vonntifutional barrier should be interposed to
| prevent tt--> further extension ; and that th<-
I constitiitio i of the United States clearly gives
Congress the rig.it to require new States, not
compriz- d v irhin the origimil boundary o!
the United S'ates, to make the prohibition ol
slav. rv a co .diiimi of their admission into the
/Ullin". Therefore,
; That our Senators be instructed,
| and our Members of Congress be requested,
i to oppose the admission as a Slate into the
I U i 'liof a y territory not comp iz< d as nfore
i said, without m iking the prohibition of slave
; ry therein an indispensable condition of ad
i mission.”
Such was the issue presented for the deter
i ruination of the country. To the South it
' presented the question whether the slavehold
i g States, were to consider themselves here
afti.r under the ban of the Government, and tn
the territories with like institutions, whether
they should enter the Union mere frugmei.ts
of sovereignties, shorn of their rightful and
absolute jurisdiction over their domestic con
corns. And how, Sir, did Mr. Clay, meet
I tftis direct and searching issue.
( Did he shiink from his constitutional obli
i gallons, as is daily and hourly charged i.poa
I him, by those whose education ought to have
n formed them as to the more prominent point.-
of their country’s history—did he sell th,
rights of the South and abandon the garatitei s
ofthe constitution, for the voices of the North ?
The answer to this question is familiar to you
—you know he did not. You will recollect,
Sir, Mai e applied for admission into the U .-
ion at the same time with Missouri. Mr.
Holmes in pressing the admission of Maim ,
asked in debate. “ Will any one say we ough
not to be admitted into the Umo.i? We art
answered, yes, and hat unless we will agree
to admit Missouri unconditionally, we ought
ri"t to be admitted I 1 hope the doctrine dm
not extend as far as that.” (Mr. Chit her.
answered in an under tone. ••Yes it did.”)
In confmuatimi ofthe debate. Mr. Clay ob
served in reply to Mr. Holmes, “that he die
:><>: mean to give his c nsent to the admission
ot Maine into the Union, as Io g as the doc
trines were upheld of aunexi ig conditions to
the admissions of States i tothe Unio from be
yond the mountains.” “ Equality,” said he,
is Equity.” If we right to impose
conditions on this State, we have none to im
pose. them on the State of :issuuri. Although,
Mr. Clay said, lie did not mean to anticipate
i tho argument on this subject, the ge. tleman
from New Hampshire would fi id himself to
tally to fail in th.- attempt to establish the po
sitioti, that because the territory was acquired
j hv purchase, she is our vassal, and we have a
1 right tn affix !< In r:.f.'nus»i' n.coi.ditio snot ay
- pl.cable to the States rm this side o! ‘he Missis
sippi. The doctrine said Mr Clay, is a
I alarming one, and I protest against it now, a d
J whenever atifi wherever it may be asserted,
that 'here are any rights attaching in the om
i ease, which do not in the other or that any line
I of distinction is to be drawn b tween the Eas
: tern and the Western States. Il is a disti e.
I lion which neither exists in reason, nor cm>
j you carry it into effect in practice.” Such,
j Sir, was the emphatic, explicit u :cqnivucal
I language and sta id taken by M>. Clay. I
i quote, Sir, from Gales & Seaton's D. bates, and
j you i o doubt will readily recognize la guag
; which you, in all probability heard. I would
I now ask you, Sir, whether this is treachery
: to the South and an aba >do itmmt of (he C-> i
■ stitutm:: ? If thi> is rot fidelity to the Coo
i Stitmio: al rights of the South, U der the most
■trying circumstances, what is or can be ?
But, Sir, w hat do the abohtio fists say of th'
' nature and settlement of trie Missouri question,
I and Mr. Clay’s cmmectiou withit. An au
I thori'ative reply to this question has been re
. cei.tly put in your possession, his known to
j you, Sir. though it is not known ..to the great
I body ofthe people ofS >Uth Carolina, that our
j Repress? tativi s opened a correspondence w ith
f the abolitionists. Y\mr friend. Mr. Elmore
I was selected us the organ .of t|,e delegation,
i and he communicated with the responsible,
i regular officer, ofthe Anu rican A ti Slavery
Society. Iho object ot his cummnuicatjmi,
was to asci rt-iin, every thi. g mdentified or
associated with abolition m vetnents—the
numb, r of the abolitionists—their means, their
ends, their iustrumeiits. &e. &c. Mr. J,.mes i
I G. Biro .the Correspoi ding Secretarv of the 1
Centra) Ex< cutive Committee of the Abolition- '
ists replied to this commu dcatiou and fur. '
istied in full the i iformtilimi required. He, i
thus, as the official and responsible organ of
the abclitiomsts, speaks of the Missouri ques- j
tion, and of him who ruled this rietmudous I
crisis i i our country’s history. •• But on tin !
Missouri question there was a fair trial ofi
Strength between the friends of“'t,very, and the |
- oi the 4 o'iStttution, I fie torn er tri i
one hid, nd by the prime agenev of one (Mr. !
Clay) whose raiment, the remainder of his
day s; ought to be snck' lo h md ashes, because
of the present ills which impend over us. the
disgrace he has continued on the name of his
eou :try, and the consequent injury that he
has inflicted on the cause of freedom through
out the world.’ Is this, sir, Mr. Clay.theab.
oliliouist, and the candidate ofthe abolitimiis’s
for the Presidency ? I leave the question
With you, for the present, and will proceed, in

falsehood and tn dignity of the charge.
With pro tumid respect, A.

Sir : —Your communications to Major D-ar
h t .my predi c ssor in command of this Dis

sures. and also yours of the sth ins*, were re
ceived this morning.
I arrived li re on the 16th inst ; found Maj.
De.irbor.i absent on an exp-ditihn int» Ihe
Ok'-fan keo Swamp. He had with him n force
of about 230 men ; snv. 50 Regulars from this

Capt. Sweet’s and Miller’s Compani s. were
mustered into the svrvic-• of th- U it' d States,
o 20 h and 21st August last) and about 40 or
50 men of this vicinity, who gallantly turned
nut upon the occasion, commanded, I believe,
by Capt, Cwie. Thev penet.ated the Swnmn
from the North cntra''co to the “Cow House,”
as far as was practicble. hut could not. dis
cover any Indians, and bn’ few Indians signs,
a- d very few if any fresh ones. I presume
Maj. D. will report to you the result of this
expedition and the cause of it.
I here is a post established nt or near the en
trance to the “ Cow Hells'*,’’ gorriso'-ed by 7
Regulars nod 10 Militia from Maj. Hilliard's
Command. This post gives confidence a r ’d
security to the inhabitants of a large settle
ment. North and East <-f it. a”d a few miles
distant; some ofthe inhabitants nre r> turning
to harvest their crops.—O e of the farms, a
Mr. Albri Hon’s was plundered of some corn
and potatoes and sugar cane, and it was sup
pos’d the camp ofthe Indians had been dis
covered, anil many were sanguine they would
he so nd and taught a lesson they much need
to learn in this suction. But it ended in fa
tigue and disappointment. M-j. Hilliard
has been c campe I near “Ft* "u-lge,” t’>

since jgth, scoutt -g and making cxctir
smns in every direction, emteavori g with z-'al
diligence and ability, to discover the foe ; but
cannot even hid anv fresh signs. His report
of 20th i’.st , says, “I have no doubt they
h ive fledjthis part of t!v> country,and it has not
bee : asc> rtain d which curse th v hav fl -d.”
i _ Capt. Mort'S. 2d I fmitry. reports frem
Fort Mo iac. that he has.-recently-made a re
' co-moisance of the Okefanokee “ East a-d
I West, that h“ cati discove- no, fresh signs-..”
i “ Near H"g pen Branch,” he s.ivs. “ we saw
| u hat w thought to be tracks in th- grass, of
‘ about 3 Indians, pursuing a course from North
ito South. The sig- sappenred to be nt least
a week old.” H',- w; s Hccorhpani d by Mr.
Ranltsson. said to b ■ the b -st guid- in and
aboutihe Okef'i " kee. to he had. He further
! says, “ I am of opinion, there are no Indians Io
I rated near this place, no ic of the inhabitants
I near here or on the river,“-have won or hern
! molest' d by them.” Capt. Beall, 21 Dra
! goons, commanding Fort Gilnmr, reports one
|"t his sc iitiug parties just “returned from

| any signs or trails of Indians what'-ver.”
‘ Cant. Miller Ist I fmitrv, commanding!his
post, reports his reconnoism co South and
M ' st. to near tile riw-r Sticks, and savs, “ J
siw no fresh sig-s of I ndians, or any evidence

■'H'lgciher. I assure your Excellency, I
shall not spare tn every cndeavi r to discover
and capture oj- destroy this lurking foe. lam -
at present of the opinion, th; t there is a suffi- ’

In the moan time, should I fi d it neo ssa

Sir : —1 have the honor to report, that in
ptirsuence to orders, I left this Camp on the
13th inst., and penetrated the Okcfanokeo
swamp at several different places, and at the
lower end ofa place called the Cow-house. 1
there discovered signs of about 12 Indians;
I immediately pursued the trail, and having
followed it about two miles, found theif trail
leading over a branch, and the tracks had in
creased—the l umber of the party supposed
to be about thirty- The trail of the Indians
was in the direction of Camp Moniac, a Smith,
east course. It is my opinion, that the trail
was about five days old. In the course of rny
scout, l discovered several camping grounds,
where fires had been made, numbering four or
five fires at one entnp. My opinion is, that
the Indinnds arc making their way South, to*
wards Florida. WM. CONE.
