And they dare not disturb him, ear they should arouse the lion of the Hei mi ; reposing, yet not dead. The tr ie character rat Party is found in the condition to which have brought the country in their principles wellopcd through their acts —in the character itness of those who till the high offices of the nninent, in the subservience of both houses of ;ress, Ad as a consequence of all these, in the [y augmented power of the Executive. Wcak aud subserviency,not to say corruption, per the 40,000 men who constitude the efficial The first qualification asked in an officer, is to be either, that mental imbecility, or that tution of principle; which will insure his icy as a tool. Character is not one of those lents which constitute fitness, noi is capabili- How could it be otherwise, where the rule laimed by the Party, is to “the victor belong the s.” These words constitute the bond of Un to the party. Jt is the spoils Party. Dad oes itself to the interests of mere appeals to •cupidity, and stimu.a’es their ambition. Such imulgntion, would naturally rally to its stan nll who could hope for promotion upon nooth uiciple- The unprincipled—the adventurous e weak are touched in the only point where could be moved, not only is their interests ad sed, but around their characters is thrown the rotecting mantle of party, approval. The hon ;f the Commonwealth, are made to sanctify itiousness. Does not the rule refered to ex e character and integrity from all competition labile honors ! Where is the good man that Id compete foi office, where its procurement nds upon the amount of service rendered; tiier iniquitously or rightously rendered ! > would thus prostitute his principles and ob ||aned his moral sentiment! Under this adminis tration all may expect office whether competent or (lot— -they are taught to expect it. Even Amos Kendall promises rewaul to those, who perform ■he small service of paying him, foi liis mendacious Lragraplis, No wonder then that this Party is so tompetentand so powerful! No wonder that its struggles to retain power arc so pitiful and frantic ! What can the lovers of sound political morality think ot it ? Wither Christianity nor Patriotism, por decency can approve a rule of Public conduct, w hich discards their claims to respect. As fruits of the Dominant Parly, look at the tremendous Micrease of the national expendituies. ijj i.e annual disbursements, now reach from 25 to ■ij mil lions. Retrenchment too was one of its first Vv otitises. The is exhausted, and it is ■iriven in a time of profound peace, and without ■pne dt liar of public debt, to negotiate loans, for ♦ It r current expenses of the Government. Thus : ■treating what our peop e have always justly regard- * Bed as a great national evil, —a national debt. The • 1 tountry under its rule, has become impoverished— ‘ JBividiiy has seized upon the hitherto overflow- * f■tosr channels of trade and industry, the marts of ; ■fummerce in a great degree arc unfrequented,— ? the customs have fallen off two thirds of their ordinary amount, men of capital are afraid to in vest in business operations, they have lost confi dence in the Government, and are losing confi dence in eachfjthcr. The price of our o\s n gicat Southern staple is ruinously depressed, the peo ple have been taught to distrust their own local currencies—the exchanges are so deranged, as to constitute a tax upon you, the Planters of Georgia, nearly equal to that you pay to the suppoit of the Federal Government It is a great error to suppose that this tax falls upon the Merchant. —You pay it, 1 in the enhanced pi ice of all your foreign articles of consumption. The Ranks have become lawless and are perverting their charters; driven to des peration oy the systematic attacks of this admin istration upon commerce, credit and corporations. This is a melancholy yet true picture. Docs it not in langur and resistless, demand a ' change ? Alas ! for the country, no change can worst it, any change may perchance bring relief. • The Senate of the United States was designed to be, by theand permanence of the Sena torial as well upon the turbulence and ox(■ co people, as the encroach ments of bianch of the Govern ment Thl^Mgßlfi!tended t) be the baliance wheel of its members were expect ed to he and learned. Above the fiery pass! f the multitude, calm, stern and in dependent. IjThese characteristiv s, we can rcaiily see, could only be found in men secure in the ten ure of their offir e. Make that to depend u t on the will of any man or set of men, and the Senator at once becomes an inst current. Now, it is solemn - ly true, that this administration retains its majority in the Senate, by the abuse of the doctrine of n struction. Let any one dare to assume the attitude of independence, and the trained press, and the trained declaimcrs of the party, simultaneously, move upon him at home, an excitement —a fer ment is produced, and lie is strangled by instruc t;ons. To his place succeeds a more convenient, tool. That upon his plan, tire Senate of the Uni ted States has become but the registry of Execu- , five edicts, no one here can question for one mo rn nt. Let other men view this thing as they may, to my mind it®ss an evil of most fcaiful enormity. Millions have been expended upon tire Florida War, and tlmbest blood of tire army has been lit eialiy poured out upon the sands of that ill-fated peninsula. And yet such Jias been the imbecility of the War Department, that it is now apparently 1 no nearer a close than it was at the end of the first ( campaign. The councils of the administration in relation to Florida, have been unaccountrbly , weak, and its measures mournfully disastrous. It ■ lias literally persecuted tire gallant Clinch into an ■ abandonment of his commission, —a commission ; I which he has held with honor for thirty years. It ■ has spared no pains to wither the laurels upon his \ veteran brow. And still the territory bleeds —the Seminole still wakes the sleep of infancy, w,th , the yell of death. The women of the borders are butchered at their firesides —and husbands and fa * theis daily die in defence of homesteads. The complaints « f our Southern neighbors seem not to. reach the white house. The cur of authority is deaf to the cry of their sutterings,aud the vacillating f Secretary occupies his luxurious leisure with vain 1 endeavors to palliate, or lojustify Iris daring scheme foi the organ iz ilion of a Standing Army. Is there not energy enough in this great nation, to pro ect one territory from a land of savage marau- , dors ? The Government has never asked money or men, and been denied. Tne fault is with our selves. And the blood of Florida, demands that the icins be wrested fiom their nerveless giasp At the opening of the present session of Con gress, it was understood that ex hiding the Jersey Whig members, parties were neary equaLy bal ■ lanced, and to admit them would cas£si majority against the Administration. These wVhig mem bers, bore the evidences of election. They were certified to be members elect from the'Statc of Now Jersoy, by all the foims lequiied by the constitu tioa and laws of that State, and of the United Stabs. Yet they were excluded by the party, and the State of New Jersey was deliberately dis franchised. And for what ? Why, it is asked, so flagrant a violation of right reason and the consti tution ? The answer is obvious; the Democrats were determined, at all hazards, to secure a major ity in the House, in order to elect their Speaker, and their Clerk, and their Printer, and thereby con trol it> action. Such a dead in the earlier and purer days of the republic, would have consigned its perpctraiors not merely to retirement, but to infamy. Now, so dor mant is public virtue, o' so blinded by intrigue ■ - md dereptim? is the public vision, that the people tec not; or seeing, regard not these things. Liberty is in jeopardy when popular sensibility to political wrong has thus lost its neuter ess. Mr. Poinsett, the Secretary of the War Depait uicnt, submitted to Congiess a plan for organizing the nulilita, which plan received the approval of ! Mr. Van liuren,and was by him strongly recommen ded to the consideration of Congress. 1 invite your attention to this scheme as exhibiting an attempt °n the part of this administration to organize a stan ding army, subject to the order of the executive, if Mr. \ . Huron did not intend to arm the executive with military power,and charily herself can scarce ly thus construe the act,yet lie exhibited the mo-t culpa: le and destructive inditFercnce, to she plaine t and most conservative provision of the Constitution, in either event he stands condemned by the judg ement of his country. For he is scarcely less to be dreaded as the chief magistrate of the Union, who weakly connives at, or basely excuses, a palpable in traction of the Constitution ; than he who boldly challenges power, and openly wields the sword. — We had rather meet an open invader, than an insidi ous, secret and deceptive aggresser. In the for mer case, the deed, is at least, relieved in the f l-ckne s of its shades, by the light of manly •“daring. l ti the latter, its enormity is enchanted, fy the hypocritical drapery which it wears. It would be well for the Freemen of Georgia, to study the scheme of Mr. Vart Buren for organizing the militia ; the exercise may serve to revive, that salutary jealousy of power, which becoming now torpid, is still, hs ever, the price of liberty. They will find in it, more of the pow'er of the sward, than Hamilton or Knox, ever dreamed of in their Federal reveries- They will find it a holder ad venture than Gen. Jackson in his rashest hu mor, dared to suggest —They will behold an ar my of 2Ctf,OUO men raised by conscription, sub ject to executive order, paid by Federal money, commanded in part by the officers of the regular army, and subject to the rules and regulations of the regular service. They will find the idea of a citizen soldiery,so long and so aidently cherish ed, nullified, and in lieu of that a drilled, permanent, military corpse; standing boldy forth in the very heart of otir pacific institutions, and casting over them a withering blight. Tney will see in it an organization, by virtue of which the militia of Virginia and Delaware may be assembled in the streets of the federal city ; around the capital—at the doors of the Legislature ; and it may lie, at the bidding of some future Cromwell, marched, with sword and shield and buckler, into the very Council Chamber of the nation. Who shall say that such beginnings may not eventuate in such results ? i lie encroachments of power are like the breaking forth ot wtters: a drop, a torrent, and then an overwhelming flood. Resist now the ag gression ; soon it may be too late. Unseat the ag gressor, and tern h deceivers that popular retribution, though tardy, is sure. I Ins letter is, I fear, becoming wearisome. The errors and sins of the administration is an exhaust less theme. An observer upon the scene of its action, alone can realize tin? necessity of reform.— 1 he greatest danger to the country is found in lha perpetuating piinciple, by virtue of which this domination is to be continued. Would you believe that the true question is not so much whether Mr Van Huron is to be e-lecied, as who is to succeed him? The aspirants to his succession arc already in the field, in fact, if not in form. And their principles are such as will in their judgment most surely secure success. No better and no worse. There is, therefore, to be resisted, the influ ence of the last administration, ihe hopes of the present, and ihe interests of the succeeding. A fear ful combination, this ; }’et one destined to dissolu tion. The Hero of North Lend shall scatter it to ail the winds of Heaven. Respectfully, your fellow citizen, E. A. MSBET. To Messrs. M. W.

Strong, Generals Ezekiel Wim i herly, and \V illiam Ezzard, and James M. Smythe, | Esq., which we are reluctantly compelled to ex f elude for want of room. We however subjoin the sentiments with which they were accompanied. From the Hon. T. F. Foster : Wm. Henry Harrison —Having enjoyed the con fidence of Washington, Jefferson and Madison—ls lie not worthy of ours ? From the Hon. James M. Smythe ; Let not the former relationship of party, inter pose, to prevent that cordial and brotherly union of all those who seek the overthrow of Van Ruren i and corruption—who desire the elevation of Gen eial Harrison, and the days of republican simplici ty, and constitutional purity. From the Hon W. G. Dawson : The County of Morgan—lnhabited by a noble, generous, and magnanimous people. To them, I o’..*e giatitude and fidelity—when 1 cease to res pect, or fail to discharge my duties to them, per sonally and politically, 1 shall deserve the frowns I due to in- gratitude. From Gen. E. Wimberly: May the next four years of our Government be conducted by a man that will have the interests of the people at heart, instead of his party. Reliev ing Gen. \\ in. H. Harrison to be such a man, my desire is, that he be the next President. From the Hon. George R. Gilmer : The Spirit ol 5 7G —Benjamin Harris an and his patriotic associates, declared and maintained out independence, by its energy. His son William Henry Harrison and his independent advocates, directed by the same spirit and energy, cannot fail in overcoming the arts of corruption, employed to j re-elect Marlin Van Buren President. From Gen. W. Ezzird : The present Administration of the General Gov eminent—Distinguished not more for the extrava gance of its expenditures, and its assumptions of power , than for the unexampled distress with which it has overwhelmed the country. In the U. S. District Court on Monday, the following judgement was given in the cases of prosecution for the recovery of interest from the United States flank, which we copy from the Philadelphia U. S, Gazette: “As to the notes which on their face appear to be payable at—days subsequent to their date, the plaintiffs arc entitled to judgement, under the 1 act of 1835, for the amount of notes, with inter- 1 est at the usual rate of six per cent per annum, \ computed from the day at which the notes res- I pecli'ely came due. “As to the other notes, which are ordinary hank notes, the plaintiffs are entitled to judgement for the amount of the notes, with interest at the rate of twelve per cent per annum, computed from the commencement of the suit. “The amount of fees for notarial protests will be included in the judgement on notes payable to order, and excluded in the case of notes pay able to bearer .” Writs of error have been issued to the Supreme Court, which sits in December next. This decision, the North American remarks, has caused a good deal of surprise in the city, and given rise to some discussion respecting the pro bability of its being sustained by the Supreme Court. From the Baltimore American. Geu. Harrison ami Abolitionism. A copy of the Emancipatoi of July 2d has come accidentally into our hands. We copy from it a paragraph which may serve to show to what devices the opponents of Gen. Harrison have been driven in their unjust attempts to iden tify him with a disorganizing and frantic party : A Just Complaint. —The editor of the Emancipator, although an abolitionist, is yet an American citizen, and as such is entitled to cer tain rights. One is the right to complain of be ing misquoted or of having words forged to his account. In the Richmond Enquirer of June s:h,is a professed quotation from the Emancipa tor, purporting to be copied from the Louisville Advertiser. The same professed quotation has been copied in the Washington Globe, and ap pears also in the Baltimore Republican of June 12lh. It reads thus: “ The rejection of Henry Clay, and the nom ination of W. H. Harrison, by the Harsisburg Convention, under the circumstances of the case, is oue of the heaviest blows the monster slavery has experienced for years.” Now ,we say to those editors, and to any oth ers who may have copied the article, that the words in italics above, are forged, and never ap peared in this paper in that connection. We ask those editors, in honesty, to make this correc tion. We shall send them this paper, and see if they have any regard to truth and honor where abolition is concerned. We never alleged or thought of the Harrisburg nomination as an abo lition triumph, ah hough we believed the rejection of Henry Clay was one.” The hostility entertained by she Abolitionists towards Mr. Clay is perhaps as much personal as political, and it doubtless arises in part from the course of that distinguished gentleman in reference to Colonization. It was, we presume, from this consideration that what is called the “rejection of Henry Clay” gave so much exulta tion to Abolitionists. The same number of the Emancipator from which the above extract is taken contains articles as abusive of Gen- Harrison as may be found in the most scurrilous journals of the Adminis tration. It reviles both parties indeed, and speaks in that arrogant tone which fanaticism is so fond of assuming when it takes to itself the prerogath c of superior light and puiity. It is a matter of regret that the name of this Ishmaelitish faction should have been mixed up as it has been with the political discussions of the day. Asa party they are weak and contempti ble. Distracted by internal dissensions, aiming at impracticable ends, violent, vulgar, and sense less in their vituperations; seeking to excite the worst ol passions, and rendered by a conscious ness of impotency doubly furious, they deserve not the serious notice of any respectable body— but rather should be regarded as imbecile mono maniacs who can do no harm if they are left to foment nonsense among themselves. Too much importance has been ascribed to them, and they have grown vain. Upon the opponents of Gen. Haurisun much of the responsibility of this result must rest. The unceasing efforts which have been made to cast upon Gen. Harrison the foul imputation of being a favourer of abo litionism—efforts made in the face of truth and reiterated in spite of facts—have tended to inflame the presuption of that fanatic sect, and to cause them to regard themselves somewhat as umpires in the great political question of this Union. It is lime that both parties—the Opposition and the Administration—should controvert their own points without reference to the abolitionists, who are owned of neither. Negro Testimony.—Prentice says, the expos ition ot the infamous conduct of the negro-suf frage candidate in allowing officers of the Navy to be condemned upon the testimony of negro slaves is making the locofoco editors writhe and dart out their tongues like crushed vipers. Lieut. Ilooe.—Negro Witnesses. Extract from the correspondence of the N. O. Bee. Wasiiigton 27 June 1840. President Van Buren has been made to feel strongly the blunder he made so strikingly dis playing his abolitionism in this business. The Globe is filled day after day with excuses; and, under the form of exculpation and apology, the administration attempts to take credit to itself for humanity towards seamen ! This changing the issue shows the weakness of the administration on this vital subject to the south. There is a circumstance which presents, in stri king contrast, the practical abolitionism of Mr. Van Buren in this instance, and the regard for the municipal regulations of the Southern States, which ought to have animated him. A clergy man of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Mis souri, had admitted the testimony of a negro witness against a member of his church, for which he was censured, and, I believe, removed by the Conterence of that Slate. He appealed to the General Conference ot the Methodist Episcopal Church, recently held at Baltimore; and that re verend body,after full deliberation and discussion, decided against him, and resolved, by a vote of 97 to 27, that in all cases of church matters, the admission of testimony must be regulated by the municipal laws of the States in which the trial shall take place. This is a most importont fact, and show's that the clergy of that highly respectable and influen tial sect, have proper views of the subject; and very different from those of the pretended “North ern man with Southern feelings.” Consignees per South Carolina Hail Hoad.
