He has probably had so tie new light upon ihe subject, and it may be that Mr. V.m Buren has put upos, him ai d Mr. Colquitt bis celebrated “Mag e Spectacles/’ ■which Major Downming said he used wild such signal success upon the old General. 1 Quers. cannot the Major inform his friends * out South,’ whether those sectaries are yet in possession of Mr. Van Buren. and whether th y were in requisition when these circuitry bl Mes srs Black and Colquitt were penned i iff they were it will certainly atf j d some light on the new position of these gentlemen and enable their for mer friends to account satisfactorily for tfieir late course. Let us hear from you major. From the liccord r < Pending the las‘ Presides tal election, when the contest in this State was between; Martin Van Buren and Hugh L. While, for the vote of Georgia, our Congression d n oirjinatiou' which was at the same time in the fieddin their Liters of acceptance, entered somewhat lint-* de tail, in relation to their principle?, and apolitical partialities. The letter of Mr. Biail,. among others, is hi fore us. and it contains his opinions very forcibly expnssed, in re I alii n tc Kir. Van Buren, whom he now informs us he intends to support, we perhaps cannot do our readers a > belter service than to place before hem such extracts as may serve to remind them bf these opinions of the gentleman in relation lojthe man he intends to sustain. | The first extract we make is one in which Mr. ; Black delineates ihc principles of the psirty with whom he is now going to act, on the presiden tial question at least. It requires no comment; it is clear enough, and very much to tla point* Here it is : i I £ “ Tiiey acknowledge Andrew Jackson t as their Jilt leader, and have over and over and over again avowed their adoption of the prim lpies of his Administration; an ample and lamentable exposition of which is to be found irt tjie noto rous u Pao:LAMATiov,” a micrer fai-tl.fully rc- ! fleeting Ihe enormities of their political creed. We are old there, tbat these States are hot now, nor ever have l>e< i n sovereign and indcpjndcn they ware one col >ny before uießev luj.\on. and since that event have eonstituied but ia single State or nation; clearly attempting to iostablish the deduction, that t e General Government is the SiVJtregn, and the odious and monstrous corollary that a majority in Congress chaff gov ern, and consequcudy that the Sta*e|>, i,«eing in ferior, must sub nit to the .acts of thjit;majority. We a.e referred to the Supreme Couit, ja co-on.i nate branch ot the saine Ger.c ral Government, not only as a judge in law and eqtuj y but as a high and ulti time arbiter in questions affecting the political rights of the people ; and jo put the finishing stroke to the whole sy-umij of State Bights, we a e solemnly told tbat whatever act of Ahe federal agency shall assume tbc form of a law of Congress, snail a id will be execmti.l and en {»rced upmi the people off Georgiii, by a hired *o4d**ry; and that although pttbdciopniim and public iutereft may .eject the act at destructive of all the pcop e h «fed dear, yet thji *: Ou» Ro- Mir.” wid iu tie -ter;ise .f ms putkrn tl au thority, promilgale it among hi« ch|ld en, by force of ai’tfH, and toe *tr,-ngiu oi giirip >w ler.

I ui Coi gres.-. however subversive ol Umi liv» t, or the liberty of her peop e.” Here are Mr. Black’s opinions of Mr. Van Buren and Richard M. Johnson at the last Presi dential election, three yea s and a half ago. Comment would but weaken the power and ef fect of Mr. Black's exceedingly graphic sketch* Here it is: “ You will readi’.y recogmze the foregoing as an honest rehearsal of the doctrines of the Union leaders. Now. sir, suppose, wnat in the present critical juncture ot our affairs is quite a supposa hle rase, that by ttie aid ol the abolitionists and the voles of the Union electors. Martin Van Bu ren and R.chard M. Johnson—the one an ulti ; mite abolitionist in principle, and jii advocate of | free negro suffrage—the other a practical anial j gamalionist, who has h en w< dded to two i women, and is now honored by half a dozen I mulatto children, of his own get. are raised to the Presidency, and placed at the head of the | Government —suppose that the abolitionists, who aie nvDuedfy the f iends and supporters of V an Buren and Johnson, go on increasing as tiny nave increased, in numbers and influence, and at length by their zeal and activity return a majority to Congress instructed to treat all siavehol. eis as “ man stealers ” and “land pi ates,” and Con gress accordingly passes an act to abolish slaveiy, not only in the U slrict of Columbia, but in the States! * The deed is done—the Rubicon is | passed—slavery is abolished ! The fair and beautiful Sou.h, the “home” of our fathers is threatened to be deluged with the best blood of her patriot sons—our children to he offered up a sacrifice upon the r.ekii.g altars of a bloody in surrection. and our virtuous and helpless women menaced with the horrors often thousand deaths, in the hruul vio aiion which the half liberated slave, drunk with the blood ot his master and gloating with beastly passion up »n the person ot his mistress, is ready to inflict upon them. When this whiilwind is al out to rush upon our devoted country, and the Mack clouds which already por tentously lower in ttie distance, shall have o'er cast our horizon, and the land is about to lie overwhelmed in darkness and death, to which o! these two political parties will you address your self to rescue the country from impending ruin ! To which of these parlies will our too men and children fly for succor and protection I” We have but one remark to nu.e on Mr. J Black’s pamphlet, in which he announces his determination to support Mr. Van Buren. He says to liis constituents: “ Remember if you lake Garrison, you must take his principles along with him.” Now. Mr. Black says in the above, that “Van Buren is an ul unale abolitionist,” dec. We will o ly rejieat Mr, Black’s words to himself, “ If you take Van Buren. you must lake nis principles along with him,” Mr. Black—and according l» your own showing, one of his pnn cip es among • thers, is, that being “ an ultimate abolitionist m principle, and an advocate oi free j negro suffrage”—a species of pnnc.ple forvvhicn j 1 the peoj le of Georgia have no particular fond ness. From the Journal, Agiin.on the *Jsth Augu t, IS3B. in reply to the comm ttees of Franklin and Taliaferro • oun lies, ttie following is his language. We give it ; ju t as he wrote it with the italics and quotations as made by him. Read it carefully, pe pie r| 1 Georgia, aad if you do not entirely agree with : us, tnat Mr. Black, has abandoned the position upon which he was elected, then we will ac knowlt Jge that we do not understand the En<*- , o I hsh language. But hear what he soys : “I am asked then, “to rna eknown rny 'chn'ce for the next Presidency, between Van Buren t’lav.

I of course can have no choice be tween the individuals alnive proposed. Mr. Van Buren is a reconled advocate for free ne_rro -sul'- frage; admits tl e r.ght of on gress to abolish sla very in the District ot Columbia, and leaves us i no safeguards for our .omeslic institutions, but j his prontistd veto ; he voted against the Tariff’ ! and rn ule a speech in favor of it ; he was an ad v irals for the Proclamation and Force Bill; I e approved the removal of the depletes of public money, in violali »n of . listing laws; he advised and approved Inc P* t Bank system, to which Ihe State Righis party were unanimously opposed; and lasi not least, he “paltered with us in » dou ble sense. in relation to the removal ofourln -1 d»an populati n. <’an it he seriously suppose d, after this statement of ficts. th.it Mr Van Hur-*n |is my “ choice ” f>r Pre ident T It there are any among who c.oi choose tom with a lull know ledge of hi* political character, all I I avy to say is. they arc mu' h more e .-ilv satisfied h m I am. It is true fie tenth's time, favorable to the es ablishment <»f an Independent Treasury ; but he has been forced into that position by t.ie suc ces-ful opposition of the Stale Rights party of the South, and the Whigs of ihe North, to /ns own Prt Hank system, to which he clung as long as ; there was a ray of hope, to animate him Shall his temporary ad ocacy of a single abstract pro j position, involving a quea'iim. as much of expe j dicncy as principle, outweigh I lie long list of po -1 li ical heresies with which he stands so justly ) chargeable ? He has hail one fair trial Ixiforr the people of Geoigia—his triends were then, as they now are moving heaven ami earth, to ensure his acceptance by the voters of this Stale, but af ter all that was said in support of his pretensions to their favor, they rejected his claims bv a tri umphant majority. Upon that occasion 1 con tributed nothing to his support, for ihe reasons above staled ; and aware ot no reformation in his principle; or policy since that time. I shall lie free to leave him to the support ot those who af fect to admire the elevation of his political char ac'er. and his devotion to the nghlsand interests of Georgia.” Military Court of Inquiry. A Court of Inquiry, consisting of Brigadier Gene-al Wood, t 01. Garland, and Major An drews, is now in session al Barnum’s City Ho tel, room No. 103. The cause of this inquiry, we learn, is—that a committee, purporting to I -e delegated by the Van Hu cii City Convention, have preferred charges against Major Lendrum and Ca. tain Duseuhury of the U. 8. Army, now upon the Baltimore sta ti »n. ot using the influence and patronage of their offices in t .e purchase of suppdes for tba army, &c. to the benefit of the opponents of the present adru.lustration, and to the ‘injury and great wrong of ttie Democratic party,” &c. ic.

As sooon as the proceedings have been g me through with, it is to be hoped tha, the pub lic will l»e made acquainted, in an authentic torm, with the whole affair. From the high character of the Couit for in telligence an I honorable Ixaiing. there can t>e no doubt that the whole concern will be sitled to the bottom, and that entne juste e will be meted to the committee as well as to the accused.

The Intelligcn -1 cer says: On the day when, by the laws of Georgetown, the owners of p'ublic calls take out their yearly licenses, it is customary for the carter to parade ; through the town with heir useful vehicle-; and accordingly, on the first Saturday in May la t, af i ter the ren; wal of the licenses, the negro rartmen ■ formed their usual procession.

Whether the “authorities tol erated. ’ or e<cn saw the procession we cannot say ; but so far from passing “ undisturbed,” as ! Mr. Nicholas asserts, it was violently arrested in ! its career by a number of Whig young men, mi* 1 ny of the poor duped cartmen soundly thrashed, j and the * pageant” broken up, di-pers, d. and dri ; ven hack whence it came.

It was addressed by him to hi* nephew, iienj until Hairison. Esq., of Berkeley and was written m the ca«y. (anuiiar and confidential strain of one near relation to another, and the greater portion ol it is devoted to family ailairs, &c. Ihe allusion to pubbe affairs i* only inci dental, and partial ; but. so i;tr a.> be is concerned, that little tells a tale lull ol honor to his firmness and independence.

The man must be a hardened knave or an in con igible fool who shall profess to doubt General Harrison » views and Jeeungs in respect to Abo lition, after seeing so many and overwhelming evidences as h ive been adduced, of his thorough ■ devotion to the righ's and institutions of the South—n devotion proved not by tvords only, but by deeds also.
