by • legislature of our opponents, and turn to the journal
»nd the page referred to, and see who voted for it; and then
look «t tho law passed in 1829 by Mr. Gilmer’s recom
mendation repealing this sweeping law excluding you from
the whole gold country, and making it penal to take any
ore* from it, and then judge ye, between Mr. Gilmer on the
one hand, and his calumniators on the other. It is all we
„,k; for truth is mighty and will prevail.
THE PLEA OF PUBLIC ECONOMY.
The Macon Telegraph objects to Mr. Gilmer, because,
it savs, when Governor, ho recommended an increase of
tlio salaries of certain public officers.
Why did not the Telegraph state what pablic officers
those were, and what increase he recommended? We
wish the Telegraph particularly to answer this question:
Did Mr. Gilmer when Governor, sanction an increase of
his own salary ? He certainly did not. Will the Tele
graph tell us who did ? and that not a small one either, hut
adding an additional thousand to the three thousand that
had satisfied every other Governor, from the formation of
our Constitution, down to the administration of the pre-
scntincumbent. If the Telegraph has any difficulties on
tho point, we refer him to tho laws of tha last session,
where ho will find an increase of salaries, sanctioned by
his economical Governor, that will, we venture to say, as
tonish even himself: and of these, not the least startling
will bo the increase of the Governor’s own salary, from
throe thousand to four thousand dollars. Think of that
next time, Mastor Brock.
And since our attention has been called to this point by
our Macon cotemporary, we will call its attention, as well
as its coadjutors here, to another matter in connection, and
thus we will save time and labor, by killing twa birds with
one stone.
His Excellency’s apologists have labored hard to arrest
tho current of public feeling, excited among all classes of
the people, by his pinching, ungenerous, and illegal course
towards the defenders of the country in the late campaigns;
their vociferations have been loud and long, that the peo-
plo’s money must be strictly guarded ; and they have declar
ed that his Excellency deserves credit on this occasion for
drawing so tightly the strings of the public purse.
We would suggest,, that this saving policy would have
l>een much more graccfislly exhibited, and to much better
purpose likewise, had his Excellency have just thought to
have exercised) it in regard to the increase last session to
hii own salary; instead of displaying it in withholding the
»m»ll pittance of the soldier, for losses sustained by him
is tho service of his country. If fhe public economy, now
set up as his apology, is a matter of such solicitude with
his Excellency, why was it not shown here, where it could
hsvs been done with such effect. The Governor’s salary
wst already three thousand dollars, if public economy is
sa dear to his Excellency, we must say it was a poor way
m prove it, by adding auolher thousand to it; and more
aipacially would it seem, should this matter have met tho
opposition of his Excellency, from .the fact that lie.sanc
tioned it under the full anticipation of continuing a candi-
d«te for the next term of the office.
But this apology of public economy is much like the
btixuce of the pleadings set up by our opponents. They
wont stand the test of investigation. The only difficulty
we find in thoroughly exposing them all is, that no sooner
ii one error exposed, than with the wings of the ..wind
thry fly t* another; and wc should be hopeless of truth’s
ever overtaking them, did wc not feel satisfied that as she
advances in their rear, demolishing their works as she
goei, the good sense and honesty of the people are in ad
vance, and that between the two, misrepresentation, decep
tion, perversion, calumny,- arid error, rm»t either ground
their arms, or meet with a most irretrievable and disgrace
ful overthrow. This Waterloo defeat will take place, we
would iuform our friends, on the 2d day of next month—
in anticipation of which, we now hid them good cheer.
THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
While the people, wc doubt not, are perfectly satisfied j
that Capt. Meriwether has made out his own case and that
of his company, against the Governor, as clear as light,
they will bear in mind that this is only one case of many,
that the same complaints are urged from every part of
Georgia, that furnished soldiers for the lute campaigns a-
gainst the Indians. They have, it is true, not been brought
so conspicuously before the country, as the case of Capt.
Meriwether; but it is not for want of similar treatment
received by them at the hands of the Governor. We can
not better portray the injurious effects of his Excellency’s
course in this matter, than by re-publishing the following
from the Macon Messenger, written by one of the editors,
who himself commanded the Volunteers from Macon, who
served in the Florida campaign, and who have met with a
similar return from the Governor for their patriotism and
good conduct.
“Mork Men for Florida;.—Gov. Schley has issued an
order calling for more volunteers for I lorid.i. The num
ber that may he required of him, not yet known. The
Secretary of War has not determined what quota will be
required of Georgia. We have a word to say, and wc
speak experimentally, to such of our patriotic citizens as
may feel disposed to respond to the call of: the-Governor.
First satisfy yourselves that the necessary articles of food
and clothing will be furnished you, and be very careful to
take no verbal assurances, however high the authority may
be, that vour expenses will be paid. It is enough for you
to give vour services, and not be compelled to pay for your
fund, your medicines, your doctor- bills, and clothing.- B c
lmpc that the call, if V be necessary, will be answered by
mircitizens; but we trust they will not submit to the im
positions which have been practised by the Governor upon
every soldier that has been already engaged in the service.
We advise all to have every thing plainly understood at
tho start.'''
A tVORD F09f THE MACON TELEGRAPH, Ai***
OTHERS, WHO CRY ARISTOCRACY.
The Macon Telegraph seems exceedingly desirous to
have it believed that Mr. Gilmer is an aristocrat. It says
that there can be no mistake that he belongs to the aristo
cracy. Now although such talk as this about Mr. Gilmer,
one of the plainest and most unsophisticated men in his
own community, who neither possesses, nor has ever pre
tended to wealth, who has always supported himself by
iiis own labor, and who in his professional career was em
phatically known as the poor mans lawyet; who has been
complained of by his brother chips, for breaking down the
profession, by taking, as lie galled them, only reasonable, that
is, very small fees, and whose efforts as a n ads ocate in the case
of orphans, has commanded the admiration of his own circuit,
and the gratitude of the fatherless and the widow; a man
whose old fashioned, cordial, Virginia hospitality, is pro
verbial from one end of the State to the other, to attempt,
*'e. repeat, to talk about aristocracy in connection with
wc'u a man as this, is about as ridiculous an effort as could
"vvoll he imagined.
The absurdity of such a charge then, in regard to Mr.
Gilmer personally, is so extreme, that wc imagine those
who make it must refer to something else than to his own
feelings <»r conduct. If they refer to family, the only
other matter to which we can imagine such a charge to be
applied, our opponents are no less unfortunate. They may
recur to the family history of this gentleman, and if they
find anv thing alike aristocracy existing there, it can be
only what may be truly called the aristocracy of patriot
ism. On this point we will only say, that the best proof
of aristocracy of this sort is to be found in the simple fact,
that Mr. Gilmer himself and seven or his uncles, were
officers of the army during the war. If this is the ground
of the cry of aristocracy, our opponents, arc more than
welcome to all they can- make of it.
MARK HOW PLAIN A TALE WILL. PUT THEM
DOWN.
The Standard of Union some time s'nce, got up a story
about Mr. Gilmer, which, although it has seen the facts in
the case, and these facts to, be in direct- contradiction
to it* statement, it still continues to reiterate; and we see
that the Macon Telegraph has taken up the theme,, and
shouts aristocracy, aristocracy, with all its might.
The story got up is that Mr. Gilmer introduced a resolution
•xeroptingthe Students of the Cnllcge-fifem-military duty,gi
ving to ths youth ef College peculiar exemptions from other
youth of the State. Now the reader will require no better
proof oftWutter reek less ness of the grounds brought against
this gecfttoma*, than the simple statement that there is not
one word of troth in the *fov* charge., Iiefc U# appeal
*o facta.
^reei^eat Church recoi^niegdcd to ths Board/ of Tprui-
tees (he passage of such a law by the Legislature. The
Committee to whom the subject was referred, (of which
committee Mr. Gilmer was not a member) reported favo
rably in regard to the measure recommended by the Pre
sident. Now what was Mr. Gilmer's part of this matter.
He offered an amendment to the recommendation of the
Committee, confining such exemption from military duty
only to times of peace, and extending the exemption alike
to all the schools in the Stale.
What think you of this, citizens ef Georgia? Could you
have believed that on such a basis as this the Van Bnren
papers could have had the unblushing hardihood to squeal
out about aristocracy, the rich and the poor, and all the
malicious nonsense they have uttered on this subject.
W e leave the proper comment on such conduct to the
intelligent and honest men of all parties. If these papers
to effect a few votes, could so grossly pervert so plain a
case as this, and do it so recklessly too, when they knew
it could and in -nil probability would be exposed, by re
ference to the records in the case, we usk what credit
should be altncbed to any thing whatever that proceeds
from such a source.
THE TENNESSEE RAIL ROAD.
What has become of the Rail Road? Where is the
Chief Engineer—is he even in the State? and why is not
the road located / Wc have asked the latter question be
fore, and have even thrown out the banter, that because
there were three routes proposed, that neither would be
selected till after the election. We have received no an
swer to our question. We may very safely now take it for
granted, that our surmise will turn out as wc anticipated.
Upon this subject of internal improvement, there has
been a system of the most unblushing puffery pursued by
the organs of the present Executive, that it has ever been
our luck to meet with, on any occasion. They have striven
with all their might and main, to identify the Governor
with the present spirit of internal improvement in the
State, and have even used every effort to make the Tennes
see and Chattahoochee toad subservient to his purposes
and his interests; a matter with which he is as little con
nected, (on the score of credit,) ns reny man in Georgia
He neither devised tho scheme, he neither recommended
it, nor by any agency of his was it earned through the Le
gislature.
If the Governor is such a friend to the rail road system,
why did be not say something about it in his message, and
wliy did he not recommend something to be done in fur
therance of the system ? We see a short paragraph in his
message, to be sure, of big talk about the blessings of in
ternal improvements generally, bin not a single recommend
ation, not a single move upon the subject do we find. In
deed, so far behind the spirit of the age is the Governor,
on this point, and as we have understood, so unfriendly to
the anticipated rail road system, interesting so much the
people of the State from one end of it to the other, that
the vigorous editorial efforts of the late talented Edi
tor of the Federal Union, in favor of tho Internal Improve
ment of the State, as wc have heard, were mainly written
to counteract with his his own party, the unfriendiy influ
ence of the Governor in regard to it; and we have been most
grossly misinformed if the evil influences of the Governor
were not experienced t hrough the whole of the last session of
tho Legislature, upon this very subject; and that through his
opposition, it was with difficulty that.the present,.or.any
plan of internal .improvement could be set in motion. Most
assuredly the Governor wus opposed to the appropriation
of. the whole, or the half of the surplus revenue coming
to the State for this object; and all that he was finally
brought to consent to, was to the appropriation for the pre
sent year of $60,000 for surveys, See., leaving it wholly to
subsequent legislation, to stop or to carry on the system.
And what has been done during this year of Internal
Improvement by the energy of the Governor ? We should
like very much to know. The people are altogether in
the dark upon the subject, so far as regards citbcr’any re
port of the work or any showing of the work. We feel
assured that the friends of Internal Improvement in Geor
gia, by the results of this ycai’s labors under ihe present
Executive, may rest satisfied that it will only be our chil
dren of the third or fourth generation who, from any thing
of practical results, will bo able to join in the song of
“ Setting on a Rail.”
If Georgia’s Internal Improvement is to keep pace here
after with the speed of this year’s operation, we hid fare
well to any thing like hope on this subject for the time to
come.
‘‘NOW’S THE DAY, AND NOW'S THE HOUR.”
Our accounts in regard to the election are flattering.
In many parts of the State, our increase will be decided,
and in many of the counties against' us*,- the decrease of
the usual majorities will be no less decided. AH that wc
desire is, that the friends of the Republican candidate will
rally at the polls, and-suffer no circumstance that can be
overcome to keep them away. Surely it is unnecessary
for the press to urge this matter on a single voter who
desires to sec the termination of the present misrule in
Georgia. If there be -any who need to be urged on this
subject, wc would merely say to such, your supineness and
apathy may possibly defeat'the great object before us; and
nothing but this we believe will do so. This ought and
we doubt not will be motive sufficient to call forth the.
energetic influence of all who can do service, and will
he quite enough to ensure the attendance, at the polls, oil
the first Monday of October, of every republican voter in
Georgia who has health and strength enough to reach them-
‘ Now’s _the:day, and now s the hour.
A VERY INTERESTING QUERY.
'he Governor, it seems, expressed his belief in his
cch in the Legislature of 1830, that the people of Gcor-
had no right to the Indian lands now constituting the
;rokee Circuit, unless they had not where to lay their
rls but upon it.” This is what a facetious correspon-
i denominates the Governor’s notion of Head Rights,
t our query is, if the people of Georgia could only right-
v take possession of these lands, when they had no where
ay their heads, and had acted on this idea, what would
probably at this time the population of the Cherokee
:uit ?
'CBLIC PRISTISG.—The government paper, the Globe,

l Congress, by Mr. Allen, the editor of the new paper

i through the agency of the disaffected of the Van Bu-

INDIAN TESTIMONY.
Ve referred in our last, to the subject of Indian Testi-
ny, and to the great injustice which had liccn done Mr.
mcr in the premises. Wc showed conclusively that
. Gilmer had been affected somewhat in the Cherokee
ion for attempting to place the citizens of that portion
he State on an equality with the other portions of Geor-
I« flic subjoined article, from a valued correspon-
t, the subject is taken up, and handled in such a man-
that those who are not converted by it from all lukc-
mness towards Mr. Gilmer on account of his recom-
ndation must be so wilfully blind that it would be folly
vaste time and labor in attempting to open their eyes
the truth. Wc commend the article to our readers.
FOR THE SOUTHER* RECORDER.
Jr. Gilmer's election is now attempted to be prevented
:he grossest deception, ubout a part of his message to
Legislature, upon the subject of Indian testimony,
ve not the newspapers and selfish politicians, made the
pie who have not the means of knowing the true state
the facts, believe that Indians never were competent
nesses by the laws of this State? That Mr. Gilmer had
jmmended a law to be passed, making Indians compe-
t witnesses, when no such law existed in die Slate be-
;? Will not thousands of the good people of this
te feel indignant at tho imposition attempted upon them
»„ they are informed that by the laws of this State, until
3 Indians were competent witnesses ? Wlien they are
irmed that Indians arc now competent witnesses in this
te.if they donqt reside within the Croek or Cherokee
ion—that they are competent witnesses-by tlie laws of
United States, and every State iu the Lmon.ond that
yarc made competent witnesses agamstmll white men
Iding in the Creek or Cherokee nation, by the law of
!9: that Mr. Gilmer advised the Legislature to repeal,
esany man who only.reads the newspapers,, opposed to
. Gilmer**-election,.have the slightest suspicion, that
the white men residing in the Cherokee nation, are now
pet to be tried bv Indian, tpitimenv bv the law of.
1829, the repeal of which Mr- Gilmer recommended I—
Let any one know for himself the truth upon this subject
by readiug that act, which is in these words:
“ And be it further enacted, that no Indian or descen
dant of any Indian, residing within the Creek or Cherokee
Nations of Indians, shall be deemed a competent witness
in any Court of this State to which a white person may be
a party, except such white person resides within the said
nation.”—Dawson’s Compilation, p. 199, *ec. 15; Fos
ter’s Digest, page ——
The people will, when informed of tlie truth, naturally
ask what was it that Mr. Gilmer recommended, about
which they have been so deceived? Why that the un
principled white men residing without the Indian territory,
who should go among the Indians and cheat, rob, or mur
der them, might be subject to tlie same law with white
men residing among the Indians. And is this all ? Most
assuredly it is. By the law of 1829, the Cherokee territo
ry was attached to different counties of the State, and there
by the Indians made liable to be sued in the Courts of the
State. By the same law tbe ordinances and laws of the
Indians wire rendered null and void, so that they could
only seek redress for injuries done them by white men, by
suits in the same Courts. By the law of 1829, white men
might sue Indians and recover upon tho testimony of white
men, but Indians could not defend themselves by Indian
testimony, if the white man resided out of the Cherokee
nation. By the law of 1829, Indians might sue white men
for injuries done them, but were prevented from obtaining
any redress, if the injury could be proved by Indians only.
By theflaw of 1829. the jurisdiction of the State was ex
tended over the Indian territory contrary to their will.—
They were made subject to the laws passed by white men,
without their consent, and to lie tried by Judges and Ju
rors of white men, and yet denied the privilege of defend
ing themselves by tho testimony of those who, in most
cases of Indian wrongs, could alone know the truth. Ought
we to have made the Indians subject to our laws—depriv
ed them of the benefit of their own, and at the same time
refu ed to them the protection of the laws of the State ?
Ought the law of 1829 to have been so framed as to permit
unprincipled white men residing within the frontier, to go
into the Cherokee nation, and there cheat, steal from, and
murder tho Indians with impunity ? All white men re
siding within the Cherokee nation, by the law of 1829, arc
subject to be tried by Indian testimony. It is known that
the Indians seldom pass beyond the limits of the nation.
Who then could have been benefited by the provisions of
1829, prohibiting Indian evidence, but those who, residing
within the frontier of the State, had dealings with the In
dians in their own country? Is there any reason why our
citizens, residing within the Cherokee nation, should be
subject to .Indian testimony, and those residing out of The
nation not ? If it is proper that Indians should he wit
nesses against white men residing among them, is it not
equally proper that they should against white men who re
side elsewhere, and have dealings with them ? There is
certuiuly no reason for.this distinction; and yet, the law
of 1829, which makes this distinction, is thu law which
Mr. Gilmer advised should lie repealed. Who that reads
the Federal Union and Standard of Union, and see* week
alter week published, most conspicuously, the charge* ar
gainst Mr. Gilmer* for advising the repeal of .the law of
1329, and knows why that advice was given to the Legis
lature, does not blush for .shame for his country, when he
reflects that these are the means used by the Treasurer
and Comptroller General of the State, uuder the eyes of
Gov. Schley, to blast the reputation of one of Georgia’s
ablest and most faithful public servants?
Is it not a most extraordinary circumstance that Mr-
Gilmer should have been turned out of office, and his elec
tion now attempted, to be prevented, on- (account of bis
Message to the Legislature, in which ho recommended the
reservation of the gold mines to the State, and tbe repeal
of the law of 1829, upon the subject of Indian testimony,
and that Governors Lumpkin and Schley should have been
elected, approving as they did, thoroughly of that Mes
sage? It is believed that Gov. Lumpkin's approbation
was so strong, that he positively refused to oppose Mr.
Gilmer’s re-clection from the time the Message was deliv
ered, in November 1330, until the spring or summer of
1831, when the unpopularity of the Message became so
great, that he was unable to resist auy longer tlie entreaties
of his friends, Mr. Giliner was deprived of office, be
cause he had tbe firmness to prefer his public duty to his
popularity,.and Governors Lumpkin and Schley honored
with the office , of which Mr. Giliner was deprived, al
though thev thus coucurod iu approving his conduct!!
ARISTIDES.
FJi&Ht THE MAOS MESSENGER.
GOV. SCHLEY AND THE VOLUNTEERS.
Governor Schley lias placed himself in an awkward di
lemma, a3 regards the debts of the soldiers engaged in
the late Indian campaigns.
He denies having given authority to the Captains for
the purchase of clothing and other necessaries for the use
of the men. In Major Cooper's battalion that rendezvous
ed at Macon, there were five companies. Capt. Meriwe
ther has stated that Governor Schley did authorize him to
make purchases of clothing and other necessaries. Capts.
Brown and Foster .make similar statements, and Captains
Seymour and Cureton have corroborated the statements
of their colleagues. Now, -here is a direct issue of facts
made up. Is William Schley because he occupies the Ex
ecutive chair, entitled to any more credit, than either of
the above individuals, whose characters for veracity are
unimpcaclicd. No man can with propriety make any in
vidious distinction between them. But to what conclusion
must the public necessarily come, after the exposition of
facts that has been .given? Had counter statements been
made bv Gov. Schley and any one of the above Captains,
room would have been left for doubt; one or the other
might have been mistaken, or from personal or party bias,
more credit wouldvhave been given to one than the other.
But here are five- individuals whose claims to be entitled
t 0 belief, have nof been impugned, whose residences arc
far apart, who have had no intercourse with each other,
all testifying and agreeing to the same facts, each one cor
roborating the statements of the other—and these five are
contradicted-by Gov. Schley. Now to whom will the pub
lic give credlr? B-ot if in the estimation of some prejudiced
partv man,-the testimony of his Excellency should be re
garded as more than equivalent to live private citizens, wc
pledge ourselves to furnish to- tflose who thus estimate
the comparative veracity of the Governor, and those who
have been duped by him, abundant cumulative testimony,
sufficient to satisfy the most sceptical.
But the grievance we complain of is, that Gov. Schley,
together with his Comptroller General, has, in open defi
ance of the expressed will of the representatives of the
people, refused to carry into execution a law of the State,
passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, for
the payment of these accounts—and what is the reason ?
Why, because some of the accounts that were presented
for payment were unreasonable. A list of items, for the
purpose of effect, has been given, to show the dear people
how very extravagant these very soldiers were. Cham
pagne Wine, l’ine Apple Cheeses, Bologna Sausages,
Broad Cloth Coats, and other extravagant luxuries, it is
said, comprise some of these accounts. It was never con
templated that such accounts should be paid, supposing that
such were presented; there was but one alternative left for
the auditor—to reject them. But we again repeat a ques
tion asked by us before—Where is the propriety of reject
ing reasonable accounts, because unreasonable ones have
beer, presented ? Wherefore was an auditor of accounts
created by the art, hut to discriminate, and judge of their
reasonableness'’. The objection oCunrcasonablcncssiloes not
apply to the accounts presented by us, for we have the ad
mission of the Comptroller General, under his own hand,
, that the objection does not apply to them. Still the* arc
not paid. Is this justice ?
WHO IS FOR GEORGIA AND HER LAWS, AND
WHO IS NOT?
In 1830, George Tassels, a Cherokee Indian, committed
a wilful and cruel murder on a cilizen-of Mali county, Ga ,
for which he was tried by a Jury at tlie Bar of the Su
perior Court, condemned, and sentenced to he hanged. Be
fore his execution. Mr. Gilmer, then the Governor of Geor
gia, received a citation from the Supreme Court of the
United States, embodied in nine closely printed foolsccj;
pages, endorsed thus—
SUPREME COURT OF THE CXITF.O STATES.
THE CHEROKEE NATION.
Versus
THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
EILL IN CHANCERY.
In which said'bill, the Cherokee Nation is said to be “a
foreign Stale, not owing al-egiaiux to the United States,
nor Id any Stale of this Union,nor to any other Prince,
Potentate, or Stale, other ‘than tlicir oten’’—which said
Bill required “ the State of Georgia, the Governor, Attor
ney General, Judges, Justices of the Peace, Sheriff-*, De
puty Sheriffs, Constables, and all other officers, agents, and
servants of the State of Georgia, to desist from executing
and enforceing the law of Georgia against the said Chero
kee, George Tassels, until the said Supreme Court of the
Uuited States should decide upon the merits^ef the case.
The Legislature being then in session, Mr. Gilmer submit
ted to tlicir consideration a copy of the Bill, stating at the
same time his determination ^disregard its mandate, and
concluded his message in the following words:
“ I submit to the Legislature for its consideration, the
copy of n communication received this day, purjunting to
be signed by the Chief Justice of th« United States, and
to be°a citation to the State of Georgia, to appear before
the Supreme Court on the second Monday in January-
next, to answer to that tribunal, for having caused* a per
son who had committed a murder within the limits of tlie
State, to be tried! and'convictcd therefor.
“ The object of this mandate, is to control tlie Suite in
the exercise of its ordinary jurisdiction, which in criminal
cases hasj been vested by the Constitution exclusively in
its Superior Courts.
“So far as concerns tlje exercise of the power "tucu
belongs to the Executive Department, orders received
from the Supreme Court, for the purpose of staying, or in
any manner interfering with the decisions of the Courts of
this State in the exorcise of their constitutional jurisdic
tion will be disregarded, and : any attempt to enforce such
orders, will be resisted with whatever force the laws shall
have placed at my command.
u jJ* the judicial power thus attempted to- be cxercisea
by- the Court* of the United States, is- submitted to or sus-
tainod, it must eventuate in the utter annihilation of the
State Governments, or in other conseqneOcc* not less fatal
to the^posefraad rrMspej-iry ‘« r highly favored
country.”
Th* subject was referred to a s-dect euauuiuee, why re
ported the following Resolutions:
“ Resolved further, That his Excellency the Governor
be, and he and every other officer of this State, are hereby
requested and enjoined to disregard any and every mandate
ami process that has been or shall be served on him or
them, purporting to proceed frem the Chief Justice, or any
associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, for the purpose of arresting any of the criminal
laws of this State.
“ And be it further resolved, That his Excellency the
Governor be, and he is hereby authorized to resist and re
pel any anil every invasion from whatever quarter, upon the
administration of the criminal laws of this Stutc.
“ Resolved, That the State of Georgia will never so far
compromit her sovereignty as an independent State, as to
become a party to the case sought to be made before the
Supremo Court of the United States, by the writ in ques
tion.
“ Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be, and
he is berewirh authorized to communicate to the sheriff of
Hall county, by express, so much of tho foregoing resolu
tions, and such orders as are necessary to insure the full ex
ecution of the laws in the case of George Tassels, ceuvict-
of murder in Hall county.”
On the question shall these resolutions pass ? the yeas
were 73—the nays 12—and the following arc the names of
the gentlemen who voted in the negative—who voted to
prostrate the Constitutional and Sovereign Right of the
Criminal Jurisdiction oi Georgia, at the footstool of the
Supreme Court of the United States, contrary to the ex
press letter of the Constitution.

State according to the express letter of tiie Constitution of
the United States, while Governor Schlcv voted to pros
trate the Constitutional and Sovereign Rights of his State
at tbe-fimtstoul of the Supreme Court, in oliedionce to an
ARBITRARY and UNCONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE
from the said Court in behalf of a MURDERER who pro
fessed to be tho citizen of “ a Foreign State, owing no alle
giance to the United States, nor to any Prince,- Potentate or
State, other than his own.”
These are the facts—they are represented .to the public
without comment, that every citizen may decide on the me
rits and political principles of the two gentlemen.

Fire Proof Ware-house McIntosh street, convenient to
others wliat you have done yourselves. The following
questions arc therefore prepared for your serious conside
ration mid reflection. What i:i your opin+on is.the best
evidence of patriotism ?—docs it consist in the loud profes
sions of love for Union, and when that Union requires per
sonal service, it is wanting?—or, rather does it not consist
in a prompt and efficient answer to the call, by shoulder
ing your muskets and mounting your knapsacks? An In
dian was never yot whipt by crying to him the name of
Union. Was not ono of the candidates for your suffrages
at the ensuing election, a member ef tbe Washington
Guards?—did not that Company make a voluntary propo
sition of its services to the Governor, and after they were
accepted, did not said candidate offer himself as a candi
date for first Lieutenant fur which office lie was defeated,
and did he not refuse to go, aud finally never did go be
cause lie was not elected !—and was not that company
almost newly officered because certain gentlemen holding
commissions did not find it convenient to serve tlicir country
when called upon? was not aeertainothereandidateforyour
suffrages at the ensuing election, for
a member of the Washington Troop ordered to Florida, i
and <11(1 lie not pretend that lie was not a member o! \
that Company, and refused to go with them, and after- |
wards when a draft was ordered, ami it fell to the lot of j
that gentleman to be one of the selected, did he not be- j
fore he knew whether lie would lie ordered or not into i
service, visit the North, which he hail not done before in
fourteen years ?—and does not that look like «n evasion of !
his duty. And did not a certain other candidate for your j
suffrages, after remarking in reference to tlie Washington
Guards, that they were a list of scamps, say that lie did
not cure if every one of thorn were killed ? These things
are thrown out for vour consideration; if they be not true,
it is incumbent on those most interested to disprove them.
