' Bunker Hill. We are indebted to the polite attention of T. S. Metcalf, of this city, for one of the badges worn by the Georgia Delegation, at the great New England Convention, on the 10th inst. It is a beautiful badge on Pink Satin, with this motto : “ GEORGIA. FOR HARRISON AND REFORM !” ** AT HOME OR ABROAD, WE FIGHT AGAINST COR RUPTION !” 1 New England Convention, 18 th Sept. 1840.” We also learn, that the Georgia Delegation on that occasion, numbered from seventy-five to one hundred. They had a beautiful banner—inscribed in large characters, ‘Georgia.’ Motto —‘Come late—but come she will.’ On the reverse, “Our country calls and we will answer—Harrison and Tyler fiOOO majority. New Cotton. A few bales were received in this city yesterday, from the plantation of W. D. Stone, Esq., of Jeffer son county. Quality, Liverpool Classification, good fair, whicn was sold readily at 11 cents per pound. Office of the Journal of Commerce, J Nf.w York, Sept, 12—P, M. 3 Three Days Later from England. By the packet ship England, whidh arrived on Saturday, we have English papers to August Bth, from which we make the following extracts : The cotton market, the early parti of the week ending the 7th inst. was dull. The s;Ues amounted to 39,950 bales. Speculators took; 11,500 bags, and exporters luOO bags American. 5. The market was pretty well supplied. Common kinds of Amer ican had rather an upward tendency, but other kinds were stationary. Prices ranged from 4£ a 7d. per lb. ? On the 7th August, the business was principally confined to the common and middling descriptions of American. About 0000 bags of alii kinds were sold at steady prices. | The Bombay Gazette., of June 5, states that 3000 ■camels, escorted by SO infantry and Uo horse, un der the command of Lieut. Clarke, ofyhe irregular horse, were returning ito Lichree froja Ivahan, an outpost on the hills, when they were-attacked bv about 3000 men. Lieut. Clarke waj killed, and most of his detachment cut to pieces.! London* August 7. Another fall has taken place in Consols to-day, and the marnet has again been in a a, state of con siderable excitement. The cause seems to be the arrival ot expresses from Paris with intelligence of a heavy tail in the French funds and the failure ® on the last settling-day of several speculators for the rise. The want of confidence m the public securities is said by some to be so great at Paris, that it has been found almost an impossibility to sell stock there to any great amourii. There is, ho.vevcr, great cauti n shown here by the specula tors, who, although they have sold io a a mount, have done this with the object of buvin<* in again on Saturday at a moderate lohis. Specula tion is still connned to the Stock Exchange and the public, far from selling their stedk, are taking advantage of the depression as an opportunity for profitable investment. From the Times ofAvgusljS. The Paris papers of Wednesday,] with a letter from our correspondent in that city, Cave reached us by our ordinary express. The foijner are near ly destitute of news; tiie latter the oc currence of a peifect panic on the occa sioned numerous failures among t 1.3 speculators, and by a report that the ratification of the treaty of alliance by the Prussian Government had been „ received, and which it will be see; by the subjoin ed stock lists, caused a great fall in the funds. Our correspondent confessing the difficult of resisting tne influence of example continued t; receive from well informed quarters, an that no war need be apprehended, but at the s ime time that verj long and very serious negociarions must rc su uom tie situation in which the'measures or eie 'V the french Government had placed Eu rope. r ™Z eSpen * e , ot adlls > that a st.ipid alarm had made very considerate progress a,long the Eng lish residents ot Pans, great number; of whom had applied lor passports, and many of khora had in • deed already departed, leaving ordeijs to dispose of their lurmtore and effects. Ibis, yiowever, adds our correspondent, must be taken f*r only it’s val ue. It is the result of the reiterate.' rancorous de clamations of the Paris press against this country, and which, if continued, would, ors will place the lives of eveiy British subject in Frai j e in jeopardy. Peace or War. —The prospects peace or war has again been discussed with son*e uncertainty, hut the confidence of the public has pot been shak i \ en, and the speculations for the fall are still chiefly confined to jobbers on the Stock Exchange. The Russian imperial manifesto, ordering a general levy of men, was, however, looked to with unea siness. We hear that “ the people about the em bassies ” are confidently of opinion that peace will be preserved. —Morning Chronicle city article. Attempted Revolution in France. . Landing of Louis Bonaparte at Boulogne. We annex further particulars of a mad and fool lish attempt on the part of Louis Bonaparte to seize the throne of France. The folly of the attempt will be seen by the issue, than which nothing could be more silly or ill arranged. Enough, however, remains to shew that his citzen kingship, Louis Philippe, has quite enough at home to keep him self busily employed, without seeking additional sources of embarrassment by quarrelling with Eng land: — « A steamer has just arrived off the town, and landed about 100 men, dressed in the uniforms of Generals and Colonels of the army. Some of them went immediately to the barracks, crying “ Vive Louis Napoleon,” and distributed money among the crowd. “ This morning one of them, attired as a Gener al officer, and another as a Colonel, were anested and conducted to prison. A number of horses are aboard the steamer. Allis quiet at present, but the military' are all under arms, “ The drums are beating to cal! out the National Guards. No more of the insurgents have been ar rested. “ It is ssid that Louis Napoleon has also landed ” The City of Edinburgh steamer, belonging to the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, was hired by Prince Louis Napoleon, ostensibly for an excursion of pleasure along the British coast, for 14 days. In this he embarked with 56 followers, eight horses, and two carriages, in the Thames on Wednesday la«t; this morning, about two o’clock they reached the coast of France, off Wimiroux, about three miles from Boulogne. The surprise of captain and crew may be imagined to see the w hole of his passengers come on deck, not in the peace ful garb of citizens but en militairie, some as lan cers, some as general officers, some as private sol diers, with an oil-skin covering 011 their hats, with the number 40 painted in front, that being the re giment which at Strasburg had formerly identified itself so seriously in the cause of Louis Napoleon- There object was soon made evident. Ibe ships boat was lowered, and the whole company landed in three trips. Before the Prince left the vessel he ordered the captain to cruise off the coast, but to keep close in t* Boulogne, and have a boat ready manned to come off for them should they signalize to that effect. When landed they marched into the town shout ing “Vive I’Empereur,” the Prince canying his hat on the point of his sword and waving it in the air. The_soldiers, awakened, and seeing themselves sur rounded by general officers, knew not what to make of the scene. They, v ere, however, soon made to comprehend that a revolution was on foot, that Louis Philiippe was dethroned, that all France was roused in favor of the Emperor, Louis Napol eon, and that they must arm to march forthwith upon Paris. As some were preparing to obey', their captain, who had been awakened by the noise, rushed in among them, and restored their wavering loyalty by shouting, “Vive le Roi.” High words and a scuffle ensued between him and Prince Louis, when the iater drew a pistol and fired ; unfortunately the ball shattered the underjaw of a poor soldier who was endavoring to seperate them; and the whole party, finding that the soldiers were lukewarm, that the officers were faithful, that nothing was to be done there, precipitately quitted the Caserne, and retired to the port. By the time the town was roused, the authori ties were on foot, the drums were beating to arms, and the National Guards pouring out in all direc tions* Within two hours the greater part were ei ther prisoners in the citadel, shot, or dispersed.— They made no stand after leaving Caserne. Some made their way with the eagle to the Napoleon column, some with the prince hastened to the sea side ,and signalled for a boat from the steamer. Un fortunate 1 y for them, too many got into it, and it upset. The Prince with three or four others swam for the steamer, and had a narrow escape of being drowned. During their absence, however, affairs had chan ged on board the steamer. Mr. Poliet, the harbor master, by order of the Mayor had proceeded with a dozen Custom-house officers in a boat and taken possession of it; it was fortunate for the Prince they did so, for in returning into the harbor, they found him almost exhausted, clinging to the buoy, about the eighth of a mile from the shore. He was* taken on board, and with him Col. Vaudrey. In escaping from .he shore they had narrow'ly avoid ed being shot; several bails passed dose to the Prince; and several of his followers were wounded, and sank to rise no moie. The report is, that six’ have been found; one poor doctor, who surrendered was shot by a National Guard. The Sud of Marseilles states, that notwithstand ing th* favorable nature of the harvest, the corn market of that city had risen in consequence of the anticipation of war. From the Baltimore Patriot. Giving it Up.—ThcVanites certainly give up the Empire State—those of them, at least, who are well posted in regard to the condition oi opinion in the State. They talk about Mr. Van Buren being e.ected “ without New York.” As he has no chance of getting the vole 01 the great State, he must, if elected at all. of course be elect- 1 ed “ without New York.” But desperate indeed 1 is his chance of re-election without his own State 1 and with her forty-two Electoral votes thrown for ! the opposing candidate. At the late Van Buren State Convention, held at 1 Syracuse, Mr. Beardsley,the ex-Attorney General 1 is reported to have said in his speech, that “he be lieved Mr. Van Buren would be elected without New York .” Remarking upon this professed be lief, the Albany Journal says: “ So satisfied are ‘he 1 partizans of the administration that their success in this State is utterly hopeless, and that to claim New York would only excite distrust of their cal culations, they find it necessary to seek grounds of hope in other States. In Ohio and Virginia they boast of New York. In New York °thev claim Ohio and Virginia.” 5 1 “ Without New York,” indeed ! To say no thing of the effect of this forty-two pounder in de ciding the contest, we may remark, that no candi date for the Presidency ever yet succeeded with out the vote of his own State. And it is probable that, so lung as elections are fiee, no one ever will succeed without that vote. Why should he > If his fellow citizens of the State—if those who know him best, will not yield him their confidence what claim has he upon the confidence of the citi zens of other States, who must necessarily know less of him i’ U’c hold that General Harrison, the people’s candidate, is sure of the vote of Ohio and New \oik his ow n State and the State ol the opposing candidate. \V ith these for him, there can hardly be much difficulty in coming to a conclusion as to the general icsult, and as to who is to be our next President—though there may be some difficulty and gieat reluctance, among the office-holders in ex pressiHg their candid opinions on the subject As regards the Empire State, the faithful there are sufficiently explicit, as all must when they talk about Mr. Van Buren beim* elect ed “ without New York”—and when, in an aggre gate of 400,000 voles, they hammer out a paper estimate of thirty-five hundred in his favor » Such a calculation is enough of itself, to proclaim the true state of opinion, and the forlorn condition of the spoiler chief, in New York. Black Seed Cotton — Perennial. —Dr. Perrine whose death has lately been noticed at Indian Key’ discovered during hi D researches the advantages of black seed sea island cotton, which is a perennial plant in Florida, A shrub growing from a seed planted nine years ago produced this year four pounds. Experiments by others wuth the black seed cotton have been most gratifying. One shrub at Key Vacas, says a correspondent of the New Or leans Bulletin, glowing since 1523, is stiL yieldin'* its silky cotton, and one acre of the poorest land in Florida is lepresented to be more valuable for its culture, than two acres of the richest land in the Southern States.

Ft r the Chronicle and Sentinel. Truth vs. Falsehood. Mr. Editor— Presuming that your columns are j open to all honorable means of supporting those principles of truth, which as gentlemen and as free men, we hold inviolable, we beg permission brief ly to answer a garbled and false account, which appeared in the “ Pendleton Messenger ” of the 15th ult., of a Harrison meeting held at Abbeville Court House on sale day (August) last. This account was doubtless produced by a trio of village upstarts, who, with more presumption than common sense, are venting their spleen upon those, who either fortunately or unfortunately have been selected to run before them in the race for which they are gaping; but if we are not very much mistaken in the freemen of Abbevelle Dis trict, it will be long before either of these is enter ed on the list, unless indeed, they solicit each oth er, as they have mutually arranged to trumpet each other by turn. Perhaps the mantles of the Elijahs which they worship, may fall upon them on some propitious day ! These learned critics or embryo statesmen, set out by declaring “ Harrisonism demolished in the bud,” a declaration which savors more of bravado than prudence, since the 2d Monday in October has yet to decide between the false prophets and the true. Os the two regiments in this District, one has declared Harrisonism —the Savannah regi ment is ours—the other has a majority for our op ponents, and will have, unless truth can be pre sented to the voters previous to the election. The “tissue of party slang.” of which these gentlemen complain, no doubt fell rather harshly upon nerves refined by such exquisite policy as theirs —a policy which, with beautiful consistency, has been able in the course of a few years, to create out of the “ high taviffite ” the “ internal improvement man,” the “ abolitionist,” the “ corrupt politician,” the “ worst enemy of the South,” who “ crawled into the Presidential Chair through Executive patron age,” the “ fox and weazel,” etc.—a consistent man with Southern feelings since 1 SI2 !! —a fact however, never discovered till the extra session of Congress, 1537 ! This, it must be admitted, was not only “carrying the war into Africa,” but fight ing them with weapons tempered at their own forge. As to the “appeals to popular prejudices col lected from the vilest and most profligate Whig prints in the Union,” we have only to say, if com menting upon the odiousness of the Sub-treasury* pronouncing it the poor man's bane and rich man’s benefit, the laborer’s scourge and office-holder’s reward —and demonstrating this position by many plain and familiar examples—if this be “ appealing to the passions of the populace,” we only wish that by such appeals every man in the country could be aroused, till the Sub-treasury was blown across the Atlantic to the crowned heads from which it eman ated. But our opponents should be the last men in tbe world to complain of “vile prints,” when their “ tile leader ” rose with the Extra Globe in his hand —to have been treating with the editor of which but three years ago, he would have thought equivalent to participating in an anti-slavery meet ing. Yes ! Amos Kendall born and bred in an Abolition State—having neverowned a slave —and though a vile abolitionist himself, would like to be Martin Van Buren’s nominee. This man is brought before the people of South Carolina as an example of purity, honesty, and veracity—the fountain whence one party draws all its truths —whilst Gen. Green and others who have nobly defended the rights of the South for many years, are denounced as the vile and profligate of the Union. Something was said about “ particular religious denominations,” which, from the garbled account ol the learned trio, would seem perfect nonsense to one who did not hear the remarks of the speak er. The correct statement is this. It was sup posed that young men would adhere to the politi cal faith of their ancestors and friends, til! arrived at years of maturity ; but if upon deliberate inves tigation of the subject, they then differed with them, it was their duty and their privilege to change their faith ; and this wag illustruted by reference to the religious sects of the country. The speaker is moreover accused of attempting to arouse the dormant parly feelings of the Union men and Nuliitiers. This, we are bound to say, is : incorrect. The speaker has many personal friends i of the Union parly in the District, and could have j neither interest nor design to effect in severing the ■ bonds of friendship between the two parties. But j hi® object was, (and he certainly did accomplish it,) to show the inconsistency of the Nullifiers, and the complete desertion of the principles for which they contended in IS2S, ’32, and ’36. if they were in error then, why not acknowledge it ? Why ac cuse Mr. \ an Buren of a change of principles, of which he is entirely innocent ? The charge of federalism and abolitionism against General Harrison was refuted, not by the testimo ny of an “ old lady” alone, but by his history, votes, speeches, letters, &c.—and the fact of Gen eral Harrison having so/dhis slaves was brought as corroborating testimony; the abolitionist neither buys or sells slaves. Mr. Harris, it is true, did challenge discussion, flora w hich the Harrison party never have shrumr— knowing that they have every thing to gain, and nothing to lose by discussion. Mr. Wardlaw did appear, tut whether he received more applause than the other speakers, is questionable. We admit they were much louder, as if his party were de termined to succeed by noise, if they failed by ar gument. He may have exposed the “ party slang,” “ demolished the hero of Tippecanoe,” “ carried his war into Africa but it was only in the esti mation of those who, like Ephraim of old, “ were joined to their idols.” It is very certain that his ranting, and the “repeated applauses,” fell harmless on all those who did not belong to him. His assertion that Gen. Harrison would “ com mit perjury,” by promoting the establishment of a United States Bank, only convinces us of one fact, that he has never read Gen. Harrison’s opinion on that subject. This gentleman farther pledged himself, os a law- V er i (which our learned critic forgot to insert,) to sus tain the decision of the President in Lieut. Hooe’s case. This mounting over the ramparts of the Con stitution to allow the testimony of free negroes against white men, reminds us of another Attorney ol the same village, who pledges himself to sustain t he opinion of President Van Buren, that Congress has the Constitutional right to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, This little trio assert that the Harrison men were so “demolished, that they could not look each other in the face.” This charge, (like many oth er S ) is so utterly false and ridiculous, it needs no refutation. Nearly similar is the charge of the Van Burenites having live to one in tbe meeting. How the gentlemen could have made this compu tation is very surprising. About one thousand per sons were present, it was thought. How many were for or against us, we could not prelend to say, with a proper regard to truth —our friends suppose at least one half —but we shall see hereaf ter. There remains but one more charge for us to notice, viz: The “ people having been abused, for toasting General Jackson on the fourth of July cel ebration.” This is false, the people were not a bused —but the Nulhfitrs were charged with in consistency, in toasting a man who went out of of fice with their curses, and has done nothing since to remove them. Likewise for toasting Mr. Ath erton, of New Hampshire, for introducing the same resolutions in substance, for which Mr. Pinckney a few years since, was hung in effigy on the very ground, and proscribed by the State. And for soli citing the aid of one retired politician, to carry the District by storm for Van Buren, when they had promised that no party politices should be intro duced in the celebration of the national jubilee of American Independence. We have accidentally seen the remarks of a “Spectator,” in the “Georgia Constitutionalist.’’ The gross and unmanly flattery on the one part, and the base ungentlemanly detraction on the oth er, places them far below our resentment. We have oniy larther to add, that if any thing more is necessary to silence the slanders raised against this Harrison meeting, the speeches of that party can be produced for publication. Plain Truth. Abbevßle District, S. C., Sept. 12, 1840. P. S. This communication was very promptly sent to the “ Locofoco” Press, containing the first account —but I suppose, being one of the muzzled family presses of the State, it refused to give it publicity- P. T. From the Savannah Republican. In common with many State Rights’ men, I had strong objections to Gen. Harrison, under a belief that he was not only “a New Treaty” man in 1826, but was a decided opponent of “the Old Treaty.” Publish, as a favor, the accompanying statement on that subject, from the pen of Mr. James S. Calhoun, of Muscogee. Mr. Calhoun, was formerly a Rcpresentath e in the Legislature from Baldwin County; and recently has been a Representative, and, I believe, also a Senator from Muscogee. “Ax Old Tiieati Man.” “The old and New Treaties.” Very soon aferthe publication of the Hon. Edward J. Black’s address to his constituents, the course pursued by Gen. Harrison in reference to the two treaties, known and distinguished in Geor gia as the old and new treaties, became a subject of public disputation. After a thorough examina tion of the subject, I stated publicly and privately to my personal and political friends, that Gen. Harrison proved himself Georgia’s fast friend on that occasion, by supporting every proposition submitted by her representatives in reference to tiie subject of the treaties. For a time the subject seemed to have lost a portion of the interest pre viously manifested. It has been recently revived in this city, and counter statements made; and those who confided in tny statements and repeat ed them are called upon to show that Gen. Harri son is not justly obnoxious to the charge of being opposed to the old treaty, and in favor of the new treaty. It is alike due to my friends, to truth, to myself, and to the cause in which we are enga ged, that the facts should be placed fairly and truly before the public. In reference to the old and new treaties, it is distinctly affirmed that Gen. Harrison was in fa vor of the new treaty, “to the exclusion of the old treaty,” and the only proof offered in support of this assumed position so far as I know or be lieve, is to be found on page 9 of the Hon. Ed ward J. Black’s address where he has correctly set forth the action of the Senate on a resolution submitted by Mr. Benton, April* 21, 1826. If there had been no other action in relation to the two treaties than the resolution alluded to, and the recoid of the votes thereon, those who charge Gen. Harrison with having been in favor of the new, treaty, “to the exclusion of the old treaty,” would have evidence to sustain them. For the purpose of presenting the issue fairly before the people of Georgia. I make the following extract from Mr. Black’s address : The people of Georgia, and particularly the State Rights party, may feel some interest to know what position General Harrison occupied in the Senate of the United States in 1825, when the old treaty of the Indian Springs was sup planted in that body by the new treaty at Wash ington. The contest which ensued between Geo. M. Troup, who, in behalf of Georgia, contended for the recognition of the old tr eatt, and John Q. Adams, the President who attempted to sus tain the new treaty, by which Georgia would have lost a great portion of her lands, is yet fresh in youi recollections. Out of that contest Troup brought us with honor and glory; our rights were gallantly and wisely maintained ; and after a severe struggle, the sereptitious treaty of Wash ington was nulliiied. Where stood Harrison when the question between the two treaties came up in the Senate? I have the journals befjre me. and I make from them the following extract. ‘ f riday, April 21, 1826. Mr. Benton submit ted the following resolution : “ Resolved (I wo thirds of the Senators present concurring therein.) i hat the Senate advise and consent to the ratification of tbe treaty between ihe United Stales of America and the Creek na tion of Indians concluded at the city of Wash ington, the 24th day of January, 1826, togeth er with the supplementary articles thereto, dated 31st day of March, 1829.” This resolution you uerceive ratifies the new treaty, of course to the exclusion of the old treaty ; and for this resolution William H. Ha HRIiOJf VOTED. j The Journal proceeds; “ It (the resolution above quoted) was deter mined in the affirmative. Yeas, 30, Nays 7. “ Those who voted in the affirmative, are Bar ton. Bell, Benton, Boligny, Branch, Chambers, (-handler. Chase, Clayton, Dickerson Eaton Edwards, Findlay, Harper, HARRISON Hen dricks, Johnson, of Kentucky , Karae. Loyd Marks, Mills, Noble, Randolph, Reed, Rowan* Seymour, Smith, Tazewell, Thomas, Willey. ’ Those who voted in the negative, are Berrien, Cobb, Hayne, King, Macon, White, Williams.”’ I here is one other curious and important fact, relative to this matter which I will not now state! It does not, however, re! te to, or alter the vote or position of Gen. Harrison. I shall have the journals with me in Georgia, and the fact to which I allude can be then made to appear to the satis faction or dissatisfaction, of any one who may desire to be informed of it. Where stood the candidate for the Vice Presi dency, when the question between the two trea ties came up in the Senate? That question is not asked by Mr. Black. Mr. Johnson belong to the party. Can any one read the foregoing extract without supposing it was Mr. Black’s intention to induce his readers to believe that Gen. Harrison was in favor of the new treaty “ to the exclusion of the old treaty V” I now proceed to submit the following fac's gleaned from the Executive Journal No. 3, which will place Gen. Harrison in a proper light before the people, and rescue his name from the odium sought to be fastened upon him in consequence ot his course m reference to the old and new treaties. On the 28th of February, 1825, Mr. Monroe transmitted to the Senate of the United States, the treaty known in Georgia aa the old treaty. It wad referred to the committee on Indian aftairs, and Mr. Benton of the committee reported the convention: without amendment, pages 418 and 421, March 3rd, 1825. It was ratified page 424. On the succeeding day, the 4th of March, 18~,., Gen. Harrison for the first time, took his seat as Senator from Ohio, page 429. Jan. 31st 1826. Mr. Adams transmitted to the Senate the “ new treaty” as a “ substitute for the old treaty.” p 474. March 17, 1826. Mr. Benton from the Com mittee on 1 ndian Affairs, to whom the new tt caty had been referred, reported against its rntifica.- lion p 521. No further action by the Senate is recorded, so far as I have seen, before March Slot 1826, when a supplementary article to the new treaty was communicated and referred to the ap propriate commit.tee, p 525. It would seem that the supplementary article, had the effect to change the report of the committee, for on the 4th of April 1826, “ Mr. Benton from the Com mittee on Indian Affairs to whom "had been re ferred the new treaty, with the supplementary ar ticle, reported the same without amendment, page 525. April 6th, 1826. The Senate resumed the consideration of the treaty, when on motion of Mr. Berrien, “ that it lie on the table” it w’as de termined in the affirmative, Harrison and 'S an Buren voting for it, p 526. On the same day, Mr. Berrien submitted as an amendment for the consideration of the Senate, a resolution propos ing five “ additional supplemental articles.” The first article is in the following words: “ So to arrange it, as that the entire lands own ed by the Creek Nation ot Indians in the limits of Georgia, be ceded absolutely and certainly, agreeably to the terms of cession by Georgia to the United States, on such further consideration as may be deemed proper.” This is the only ar ticle material to the present issue. The whole are on record, page 527, Executive Journal, No. 3. Mr. King submitted the following motion for consideration; Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to lay before the Senate, the Treaty made with the Creek Nation of Indians, on the 12th of Feb. 1825, with such evidence as may be in his possession, tending to show that the said treaty was not signed by persons com petent to make a treaty, or that it is now binding on the parlies, or ought not to be carried into effect. On the question to agree thereto, it was determined in the negative. Yeas 9. Nays 26. Berrien, Cobb, Harrison and Van Buren, among the nays, p. 528. “Fkidat, April 21st, 1826. Pages 531 and 532.—The Senate resumed as in Committee of the Whole, the Treaty with the Creek Indians, the supplementary article thereto, with the amendments proposed the 4th inst. The question was put—“ Shall the first article, viz: The treaty concluded at Indian Springs, on the 12th day of Febuary, 1825, between Com missioners on the part of the United States, and the said Creek Nation of Indians, and ratified by the United States on the 7th day of March, 1825, is hereby declared to be null and void, to every intent and purpose whatsoever, and every right and claim arrising from the same, is hereby can celled and surrendered—‘stand part of the treaty.’ And it was determined in the affirmative ; yeas 30, nays 8. Those who voted in the affirmative, are Messrs. Barton, Bell, Benton, Bonlegny, Branch, Chambers, Chandler, ('base, Clayton, Dickerson, Eaton, Edwards, Findlay, Hendricks Holmes. Johnson of Kentucky, Johnston of Lou isiana, Kane, Knight, Floyd, Marks, Mills, Reid, Robbins, Rowan, Seymore, Smith, Tazewell, Thomas and Willey, 1 hose who voted in the negative, are Messrs. Berrien, Cobb, HARRISON, King, Macon, Van Buren, White, and \\ illiams.” This was the test question, and the record of the votes thereon, affords a palpable refutation of the charge, that Gen. Harrison was in favor of the new treaty ‘Ho the exclusion of the old trea ty.” At the time of the investigation of the two treaties in the Senate of the United States, Geor gia was represented in that body by two of her ablest and mest incorruptible statesmen, viz: Thomas W. Cobb, now no more, and that accomplished and distinguished son of Georgia, John Macpherson Berrien, of Savannah, to whom I would respetfully apj eal for the purpose of sustaining or correcting the conclusion to which I have arrived. I ask of the reader a careful perusal of the question put, and then note who voted to sustain Georgia’s interests and rights. Not Mr. Benton, nor the candidate of the party for the Vice Presi dency, Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky.' On that occasion, Harrison and Van Buren both sus tained our cause. Immediately after this vote was taken, Mr. Benton submitted the resolution as published in the address of the Hon. Edward J. Black to his constituents. Before the final vote was taken, and on the same day, Mr. While offered a pro viso, containing stipulations in favor of the friends of Gen. Mclntosh, p. 532. On the ques tion to agree thereto, it was determined in the negative, yeas 9, nays 25. Berrien, Cobb and Harrison with the yeas, and Benton and John son voting nay. Van Buren out. Then came the question to agree to Mr. Benton’s resolution, and resulted as given by Mr. Black. It will lie perceived by reference to that vote, that Mr. Vtin Buren was still out ! I have attempted to place fairly before the people the material facts as they transpired.— Looking into these facts, it must be evident to the unprejudiced reader, that the only extract fur nished by the Hon. Edward J. Black in his ad dress to his constituents in relation to the old and new treaties, was calculated to produce erroneous impressions and to excite the prejudices of a por tion of the People of Georgia against an honest citizen of the country, who has been selected as the opponent of Mr. Van Buren in the approach ing Presidential election. The system of garbling, as pursued by blind and selfish partizans, cannot he too severely con demned. I will not trouble you with an enumer ation of evils resulting from such a course. I will only add (hat facts should at. all ti mes be placed before the people in such forms as will make truth apparent and at the same time act as a shield in protecting the fair fame ot honest men against the mischievous efforts of designing poli ticians. Let Gen. Harrison he judged by his acts, and his friends have nothing to fear. Respectfully, JAMES S. CALHOUN. Northen mks with Southern Principles. ■—The experiment made by Mr. Van Buren, for it merits no other name, of catching southern votes by declaring himself to be a “northern man with southern principles” has, as far as relates to the \ irginia election last spring, and the recent elec tions in North Carolina and Alabama, worked in juriously to his interests. It was a prominent card which he intended to plav with skill well aware of the sensitive feelings of the south on the subject of abolition. His failure in the south arises from several causes, and there is no difficul ty in showing that, on this subject the south is acting consistently and with great patriotism. He who declares himself false to the north for the purpose of entrepjangsouthern votes, has no right to complain if htgh minded men of the south re o* n.Tff?r r?
