j n <r” the soldier had no right to ( or, in other word, l.o
m,irf not pav for such articles. W by, fclUw-citizena, has
Z Governor thus vetoed the law of the last Legislat ure. ?
It is not from patriotic motives; it is not a sincere desire
to an economical administration in the public monies,
a he has fully proven b> snuctitunng the large and exorbit
ant increase of Iris own salary last session. But rather is
it not an ostentatious display of vigilance over the lunrts
of tlie State. This must lie if. The money is not his—it
belongs to the people, and they have decreed, through their
representatives, that the volunteers should he paid; yet
the Governor used every effort to defeat the lull before its
passage, though finally lie yielded his sanction to the law.
Notwithstanding his sanction was given, notwithstanding
it passed both branches of the Legislature, notwithstanding
the provisions of the law were amply sufficient to inert
tins wishes of those who “broke the iev lakes of Horitla,
the Governor still persists in his opposition, and defeats
the humane provision of our legislature for the volunteers
relief.
Citizens of Georgia, State Rights and Union men, I
make this appeal. Can you support the present Govern
or after his written avowal, that the soldiers ought not to
have pay for those articles which I have mentioned, be
cause they cost too high. Who of you could have been
so unpatriotic as to have refused the soldior when leaving
his .State for the iuliospitahle clime of Honda, these ne-
cessary supplies. Are you willing that the soldier should
be paid, whilst battling in defence of helpless women and
children? Arc you willing to wipe out this stain on the
patriotism and liberality of the State ? If so, go to the
polls oil the first Monday in next month, vote for Gilmeu,
and these grievances, which have justly called forth gene
ral indignation, will he remedied. TALBOT.
STATE SOVEREIGNTY
IfHLLEDGEVlLLE :
Tuesday, September 26, 1837.
STATE EIGHTS CANDIDATE FOE GOVERNOR,
GEORGE It. GILMER.
TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF GEORGIA.
Our prospects brighten as the day of trial approaches.
Otw news from all points is cheering; our friends arc san
guine, and if wo do our duty, we believe success will be
our reward. Is there one man at this crisis, indisposed to
the performance of that duty’ ? We cannot believe it.—
Who will abandon the good cause, at this most important
moment, to all its hopes, to all its prospects? Is there
one ? Again we snv, we cannot believe it. We believe
that no unimportant cause, no circumstances that can be
obviated, will keep back from the polls on Monday next,
a single man who cares for the destinies of the State.—
IL’Iy, fellow-citizens, once more to the polls, and ensure
victory. If you are defeated, we believe in all honesty,
ith*t .that irreparable result will only be produced by your
own apathy. All that zeal and activity can do, will be
done by our opponents; is not your cause as good? Is it
not as .worthy of zeal and activity as theirs ? Raily to the
polls, fellow-citizens, for the Republican candidate; do
vour duty., uigethe Iaggarl, arouse the ajietlictic, inflame
the lukewarm, if there be any of these to be found among
us; come yourselves to the polls, bring your friends, con
centrate for once the Republican voioe of the State, and
Gaogcc It. Gilmer will lie the next Governor of Geor-
£'*• .
On the 5th instant we were informed by the Federal
Union, that the Governor had determined to organize a mi
litary force, to consist of ten companies, to be stationed in
the Cherokee country. We took occasion, in the subse
quent number of our paper, respectfully to enquire the rea
sons for such a responsible measure at this time, having
ourselves not heard even a serious intimation of the aeces
sily for such a proceeding. We took it for granted howev
er that the Executive was undoubtedly authorized to do so,
by the possession of information at the Department, of the
immediate and imminent dangers threatening the country.
We have since anxiously looked for the desired informa
tics. as due to the country, no less than to the Executive
Department itself. We need hardly inform our readers
that wo have waited in vain. Such information as has been
communicated, in our opinion, (which wc believe will be the
opinion of the State,)so far from authorizing such a procccd-
ure on the part of the Executive, absolutely is conclusive
against it.
The amount of the information received seems to be,
that when the period arrives for the emigration of the Che
rokee*, it is believed that they will not peaceably remove,
and that the exhibition of a military force will be requisite
to effect this object. Now grant the fact to the fullest ex
tent, does it authorize the present measure. Let us in
quire. On the 5th September we are informed of the or
der of the Executive to raise this force. On the of
the same mouthy file officer to whom the trust was eonfi-
ded reported the command to the Governor. Within one
month we thus perceive that the accessary force is raised
and in the field. This shews the time "requisite to raise a
sufficient force for any emergency. Now the enquiry which
presents itself is,-when, according to the shewing made,
will there he a necessity for the service of this command ?
The Cherokee} arc to-be removed’next May, eight months
after the order of the Executive to raise the force to com
pel qtliet emigration. Is it possible that the Execu
tive expects to maintain-' this Ian go military force for eight
months, at an expense of the-most enormous character to
the State, (to say nothing of the authority by which it' is
done) in order to have it'ready next May to coerce the
Cher-okecs to a peaceful removal ? The idea is preposte
rous. What is the duty of this force in the intervening
right months? Are not the'Indians perfectly quiet and
peaceable? Have there ever been sent to the Executive
xnv petitions or representations from the people of Chero
kee, showing the necessity of such a force at this time, of
oven requesting any force at all to be stationed among them
for their protection ? We have never heard a word of any
such. Whence then, we again demand, the slightest
necessity for the raising and maintenance of such a force,
at this time, and even at the worst, for eight months to
come? From all that hrs appeared, and fronfall we have
heard, «e cannot see the slightest reason for the course of
the Executive on this subject.
But let us take another, and the correct view of this
subject. Suppose there are good grounds for the belief
that the Cherokees will not be disposed to remove peace
ably next May ?—which wc suppose may be the case;—
what is the proper course for the Executive in regard to
it? Is it not tkc duty of the Governor to represent the
facts t# the Secretary of War, and to demand that a suit
able force shall be provided by that Government to secure
the peaceful removal of the Cherokees under their own
treaty ? Most undoubtedly. Has the Governor had this
correspondence with the authorities at Washington ? It
wonld seem, from the information of the Federal Union,
that he has not; or from his taking up the subject himself,
and at tho expense of the State, that that correspondence
has resulted unsatisfactorily. Wc cannot believe the lat
ter, and must therefore believe that no such correspon
dence has taken place. We say we cannot believe that a
correspondence has thus taken place, because wc can in
form the Executive of Georgia, if it is not already in pos
session of the information, that at least ONE of the dele-
cation from. Georgia, as in duly bound to his State, has
had communication with the Secretary of War on this
subject;' hat pointed, out to that officer the just grounds
of fear that irhen the time arrives to emigrate the Che-
rokcct, they may breakout into lies'it c acts; and has
urged fhe claims of the Stale, upon the General Govern
ment to take the necessary measures to prevent such a
result. And he hat been assured by the Secretary of
War that a competent force, icould be put in requisition
by the Government al the proper time, to prevent such
a result, and secure the peaceful emigration of the tribe;
and all who know any thing of the character of Mr.
Poinsett arc williug-to believe that he will act as efficient
ly as he pro mites..
Now wc ask the country is-nol this sufficient ? Is not
this the proper course which should have been pursued by
the Governor? Instead of wbieh, whupdo we behold?—a
i*rge military force raised by the order of the Governor,
M an expense, if kept up for eight months,.which we im
agine will not fail much- short' of 300,000 or 400,000
dollars ; ;and all to be in road incss for an emergency that
n * a y happen at the end .of that period. We must express
nur astonishment at this act of the Executive.. Where is
his authority for it? Is it to be found--either.in the cir-
“ti^stancesof the case, or in the law* of the land?—from
that appears, in neither. We honestly confess that
'fc cannot conceive: (unless his Excellency is possessed
information which has not been made known to the
t * Uritr y) how the Exer.titive.will.be able to render-a satis
factory account of such a high as well as expensive net of
authority, to the people of Georgia! We leave it with him
self to shew.
WHY SHOULD THE REPUBLICANS OF GEOR
GIA REFUSE TO VOTE FOR GOV. SCHLEY.
Amongst ocher reasons, we may suggest,
Because he has lioen a Federalist from his youth up
wards; aud a Federalist ought not to preside over a re
publican people.
Because acting out his Federal principles, he opposed
the war, and the republican adminstration of Mr. Madison,
which prosecuted that war.
Because, as testified by the most respectable witnesses,
in hostility to the war party of the United Slates, who were
the republican party, he would not join his fellow citizens
in the common manifestations of joy on the occasions of his
country's victories.
Because of his want of independence in every point
where he has been tested, and in none more strikingly than
in connection with his Federal opinions; when directly ques
tioned upon them, instead of an independent straight for
ward answer, in order to create confusion in the public
mind, without directly contradicting the charge of Federal
ism made against him, lie says that ho was not a Federal
ist in the vulgar sense.
Because of his utter inefficiency in defence of the bor
der counties, when harrassed and plundered bv the ma
rauding Creeks.
Because he did not relieve that section of the State al
though petitioned and implored to do so by the sufferers.
Because he ordered supplies through his officers for the
troops on the march to F'lorida, and then refused to pav
for them.
Because he opposed the law passed by the Legislature
for the relief of the losses of the soldiers.
Because lie lias refused to oLey that law of the land
which enjoined hirn to pay all tho accounts of the soldiers
which were made in good faith.
Because of his want of independence in the endeavor
to make, as the ground of his refusal, the obscurity of the
law ; and referring that to the Judges which was so plain
that a blind man could not have misread it.
Because in accordance with the Federal creed, he went
for laying tlie sovereignty and independence of the State
at the feet of the Federal power, in refusing to sustain
the authority of Georgia, against the mandate of the Su
preme Court, in the case of Tassels.
Because lie pleads economy when the pay of the sol
dier is concerned, hut puts in no such plea when the pay
of the Governor is concerned.
Because he induced Captain Meriwether to «o in debt
for necessaries for the soldiers, to a large amount for a
poor man, upon his promise to pay the demand when
presented, and refused the same when so presented;—
throwing the expenses of the war, as well as the service
in the war, alike on the soldiers.
Because of his humbuggery in regard to the Chattahoo
chee Rail Road; endeavoring to identify himself with
the cause of internal improvement, when the fact is known
that such was his opposition to the internal improvement
system of the State, that the late Editor of the F ederal
Union, exerted his talent and his influence in writing up
the system, in the party paper, to counteract and neutralize
with his party the hostility of the Governor on this very
subject.
Because of his utter inefficiency in the lute Indian diffi
culties. In the words of a correspondent,* “ for the Flori
da campaign did not the Governor, after some weeks’ no
tice, rendezvous at Milledgevillc, under his own eye, three
companies of the Georgia battalion of Infantry, and see
them march into Milledgevillc, on foot, through water and
ice, in dead of winter, without having made the necessary
arrangements for their quarters, camps and subsistence ?
Did not the Governor march them to Macon, to remain
with two other companies encamped for two or three days,
in wet and cold, alike destitute, so far as any provision of
his -was concerned ? For the transportation of ihe troop*
did he not egregiously miscalculate the capacity of two
pole boats furnished, when four were scarcely adequate;
and were not the troops detained there, waiting for oilier
transports to be fitted up?” So much for the Governor’s
efficiency in the F'lorida campaign.
Because of a similar entire inefficiency exhibited in the
Creek campaign. Were not some four or five thousand
men collected at Columbus, by order of the Governor, and
there detained in utter inaction, because of a want of arms
and munitions of war? Who should have had them there?
certainly not the men, nor their officers. Who should have
had them there ?
Because of his utter want of abilities for the office, as
proved by his utter inefficiency in the Legislature; by his
obscure and uninfluential career in Congress; and by the
whole history of his late administration.
Had we time and space at command, we might extend
this already sufficiently extensive list; but it is enough ;
these are no new charges, they have been urged openly
for months past, and if they have been fairly or satisfacto
rily answered, it is more than has come to our knowledge.
IIIS EXCELLENCY AND THE SOLDIER'S AC
COUNTS OSCE MORE.
We wish in concluding-thc campaign, to state a fe\v,-plai^
short facts, to be remembered by the people, it’lias been
satisfactorily proved that tire Governor refused to pay for
necessaries for the soldiers procured by his own order,
and promised to be paid by himself after tlie purchase,
in the case of Captain Meriwether.
It is in proof* that tlie same refusal under similar cir
cumstances, was extended to the soldier’s accounts of
the commands of' Captains Brown, of Hancock, Foster, of
Morgan, Seymour,-of Bibb, and Curcton of Monroe.—
Quite a wholesale business.
The Governor lias refused the bills of tavern keepers
where the men had been quartered; lie has refused to pay
the poor wagoner for his labor alnl his team;-hi the trans
portation of military stores'.- And who has not been re
fused, of the troops that so patriotically volunteered in de
fence of the country and the women a'ficFchildren of the
border. Tlie aceounts-of the brave Garmaiiv were refus
ed and-lie had his visit to'Milledgevillc to end in-morti
fication. Ask the officers and’soldiers op the cofihties on
the border,-who nobly went forth against the savage foc,-
—ask them if they have received the compensation far
their losses in the service of the country, provided them by
the Legislature of the State, and there will be but one an
swer from F'lorida to Carroll, aud that answer will be the
emphatic No.
Bu: the Governor is an economical Governor, and will
take care of the people's money. Witness—the probably
useless expenditure of 3 or $ 400,000 for the military force
lately raised iii the Cherokee circuit; witness—his sanction
of tlie advance of his own salary an additional thousand
dollars: witness his sanction of the large advance of the
salary of almost every officer under the government. All
these facts prove most incontestibly that the Governor i*
indeed a saving and economical officer', at least as far as
the dues of the soldiers arc' concerned.
er accents than Our thfrn,strange cdatrtGt indeed» How
can wti account for it ?
A SHORT ANSWER.
Wc think that all reasonable tnen will say that tkcic few
words meets the whole defence set up for the Governor, in
regard to his refusal to carry into execution the law in fa
vor of tlie soldiers. If there Were unreasonable accounts,
why not at once refuse them, and pay those that were not
unreasonable? The law specified his duty to be just this
thing. He was to sit upon the accounts presented, and if
made in good faith, he was to pay them; if not so made, he
was to refuse them. Now suppose there were some ac
counts made in bad faith, or which were unreasonable,
which by the bye has never been shewn, what should the
Governor have done? Why reject them, of course. But
what has he really done ? Why he has rejected all the ac
counts, together, whether made in good faith or not. He
refuses to pay for the soldier’s blanket—he refuses to pay
for the soldiers’ overcoats, for a service in the midst of the
coldest winter we almost ever experienced. He refuses
even down to the oil procured to oil the arms of the sol
diers and keep them in a state fit to be used. Is this a
compliance with the law made for the relief of the soldiers
Is this making a liberal construction upon that law, which
it in express terms enjoined him to make; liberal indeed:
if this is liberal construction, what in the name of merey
wouldthe Governor understand by a strict construction.—
The case is too plain for any to be deceived, but those who
are determined to he deceived; and neither would such be
convinced, though one rose from the dead.
CHI'readers should possess this document in full, from the
fact dial, in all probability, there will be a diversity of opi
nion, and possibly a diversity of action, in regard to it,
even among those who are of ns, and with whom we have
hitherto acted in harmony. We shall conclude tlie report
in our nex't, and shall reserve cur own opinion* on its merits
till a future and more suitable occasion. Th?rc is nothing
at this moment of anv interest but the elections.
A dilemma.
Our opponents say, that the law in reference to Iudian
testimony, so far as it makes tlie testimony of Indians valid
against those who reside within the Cherokee nation, is of
course inoperative, a* the nation no longer exists, but is cut
up in counties. Erudite expounders of law, truly; be
cause a country known as to its bounds by a certain term,
is legislated for, recognising those hounds, because the
eountry may afterwares he sub-divided, and names given
to the different portions of it; forsooth the law covering
the whole territory is thereby repealed! ! Great discove
ry, worthy of Coke, Mansfield,, or Blackstonc !
But suppose this to lie the fact; liow will it make the
matter stand. Does it not repeal the whole law, and leave
the general law of the land, which recognizes Indian testi
mony in full force ? Most unquestionably. Tlie law which
makes Indian testimony incompetent against the whites ap
plies only to those Indians residing in the “Creek or Che
rokee Nations.” If these nations no longer exist, then of
course there can be no Indians residing in such extinct na
tions, and the law abolishing Indian testimony only applies,
and that by its express terms, to the Indians or descendants
of Indians, in the “ Cherokee or Creek Nations.” The
conclusion then from the construction of these learned men
of the law, is and can only be, that if the exception is done
away because it only applies to a nation now extinct, then-'
the whole law which only applies to the same extinct nation
in express terms is done away likewise, and Indian testi
mony i3 now allowed by the law of the land against all
persons whatsoever. This probably is not vvhut our advert
sarics desire ; but so it seems they will have it. Bat oilr
statement as heretofore made is the true statement,-and all
the paltering and quibling of our opponents cannot make
it otherwise.
A CONTRAST.
The Governor’s move in the Cherokee Circuit, in the
formation of a Regiment, to be quartered in that region,
is singularly in contrast with his action in another part of
the State—we mean on our Southern border. Here, wc
cannoi. ascertain the purpose ol such ail array, at least un
til May next, when it is imagined the Cherokees may
prove troublesome; and only then would the Governors
motion be justifiable, on the failure of the Federal Govern
ment to perform its duty ; which, by the bye,(it has faith
fully pledged itself to one of our delegation to do.—
There, on our Southern border, the complaints of pur citi
zens arc even now heard from one end of the line to the
other, that when outraged by the savage foe, when depre
dations were committed on their property day after day,
and night after night, when tl-.eir families had to retreat
from their homes, and leave ill to tlie pillage of a savage
foe, even in such a state as this, to all these representations
the Governor turned a deal ear; no regiment was formed
then, no relief- was extended; but all their petitions were
treated with neglect; -their remonstrances rejected, and the
savage marauder permitted toroamand-ravage the country
atliis pleasure. Strange indifference to-arouse of real ne
cessity then; and wonderful promptitude in a-ease, where
neither promptitude nor-efficiency) so far a* been shewn,
are at all ivqgired. -
If we think such a contrast? amatter of astonishment
and wonder, wharmust the people of Stewart, Randolph,
Lee,' Baker, Marion, Early, and Thomas, think upon a re
view of tho subject? Will they not-cxelaim,.even in loud-
We take great pleasure in publishing the folio wing commu
nication of the President of the Central Bank, by which our
readers will perceive, that as soon as the views of the Pre
sident of the United States on the subject of the surplus,-
were ascertained, the Board of Directors investigated the
affairs of the Bank, with a special regard to the distribu
tion; and that they have decided that, whether flie last
quarter of the surplus revenue is received or not, the dis
tribution shall go on to its completion. We take the oceor-
sioti to congratulate the citizens of those counties, which
wc supposed would receive no discounts, on account of the
suspension of t’nc surplus fund, that the Central Bank will
be able without it, to mete to them their due portion.
One word to the President of this Institution. You, sir,
have properly stated the matter, when you represent us as
speaking of probabilities, not of certainties; which no
after circumstances could alter. And in-this day of false
hood and detraction, we thank you for your fairness. You
say that the facts which you communicate, might have been
ascertained, on enquiring of any officer of the Bank Y ou
will at once perceive, si•, that it was the duty of the Bank
to communicate anv after resolution of its own, and none
of ours particularly to make the enquiry of what they had
concluded to do.
In oar statement of the probability,- that the Bank,
thceveutof the withholding the surplus revenue, would be
compelled to stop the distribution, it was sufficient for u
that our information was derived from an officer of the
Bank ; and permit us to add, that officer was yourself.
Your expression in regard 11 this probability, was not made
indeed, personally to us ; but we dare say it will be enough
to remind you of the week when the gentlemen from the
different Banks were in Milledgevillc-, some two or three
weeks ago, to call to your remembrance, the expression of
such a belief, on your part, to gentlemen who command our
mutual respect.
ft is enough then, that, for the expression of the proba
bility which we staled, in regard to the couisc of the Bank,
we inform you, sir, its President, that (in the absence of
any other circumstances,) you are yourself, our authority
for that belief.-
CENTRAL BANK, \
Milled'gkVillf., 10th Sept.-, 1337. j
To the Editor of the Standard of Union:—
JSut—I observe in the Georgia Journal and Southern Re
corder of this murirttig, a simultaneous statement, that in
all probability the distribution now going on at the Central
Bank will cease after the 21st inst.
Apprehending that these statements may mislead the
people of- tlie counties concerned, I request the favor of
you to make it known that as soon as the views ol the Pre
sident on this subject were ascertained, the Board investi
gated llie affairs of the Bank with a special regard to the
distribution. They have decided, that whether the last
quarter of the surplus revenue is received or not, the dis
tribution shall go on to its completion. This determina
tion of tlie Board might have been ascertained-on enquir-
ing-of'anv officer of tlie Bank.
TOMLINSON FORT, President.
The Federal Union asks for our authority for giving to
our retiilers’onr belief,-that tlie Central Bank would be un
able to carry out the proposed distribution. Wc have
been sufficiently definite on this point already. But we are
fond of accommodating enquiring friends, and take pica-'
sufe in answering our eotemporary in the premises. ■
Had wc no other grounds for one opinion,• we inforth
tlie F’ederal Union, we should have desired mmc better
than they themselves afforded us. Rb they remember
when it became our tf&ty-’to step the popular use winch
they were disposed to make of the distribution of the sur
plus, by bringiTig all the credit of the large loans to the
door of the Bank? do they remember, ive ask.-tlicir"re-'
ply to our question, when we demanded why, in addition
to the Surplus Revenue, -tlie ostia? amount of three hundred
thousand dollars was not likewise distributed by tlie Bank?
They answered that wc ought to have known that the a-
mount making up the $300,000, was reserved by law this
year to the counties, amPexhausted- by legislative appro
priations. They likewise said that no nVfen in his senses,
would deny but that the surplus revenue was the basts of
the distribution of the Bank.
Well, now, on the supposition that one-fourth of ibis
surplus is to be withheld from the Bank by the Federal
Government, we give our opinion that the Bank will have
to stop its loans that much. Now, if the information given
us by our eotemporary, that the usual - $300,000 is not in
possession of the Bank, was true, is not our conclhsiofo ine
vitable, that it cannot curry out tlie distribution. We ask
our neighbor to review these facts, to refer to its own files,
and to answer us candid!}-, would wc not be more than jus
tified to give itself as our authority for our statement.
Enough said.
If We had selected from the whole party opposed to us
one man possessed of every necessary qualification, both
in point of a thorough information onthc subject, and abil
ity to form a correct opin’on upon that information, in re
lation to the merits and demerits of Gov. Schlov, we should
have selectied the gentleman whose opinions will be found
in the letter below.
In relation to Mr. C.’s opinion of Mr. Gilmer: while
we join him in saying that he is an honorable man and an
honest politician, as to his being a Union man, we will
merely sav that lift is Letter even than thar, for he is for
the CoxsTiTf tion and l xiox both, and for both or neith
er, as well as Mr. Gilmer’s supporters generally.
We call the attention of our readers to the leLter of Mr.
Cutlibert; particularly that portion of the party of our
opponents wlio feel disposed to exercise the right of pri
vate judgment in the exercise of their rights as freemen
at the baliot box.
A\ c have no doubt hut that Monday next wtU find hun
dreds in the different parts of Georgia wlio have hitherto
voted for tlie present Executive, exercising the same inde
pendence as is manifested in tlie subjoined letter, by the
most talented and devoted advocate of the party opposed
to us, that that party has ever possessed :

Michael J. Kenan, Esq.:—
Dear Sir:—\ have been filled with surprise at yam-
statement, in your note of this morning, that it is asserted
in Twiggs, and the adjacent counties, that 1 have with
drawn my opposition to the re-election of Air. Schley, and
that I will vote for him for the office of Governor. Intend
ing soon to remove from this State, I have avoided taking
any active pait in the pending election for Governor; hut
I am unwilling to he misunderstood or misrepresented on
this subject. The report is without foundation. During
the early part of the administration of Gov. Scldey, I sup
ported him with cordiality and zeal. Gradual'develope-
ments of his- character, under my observation during the
last year, produced a great change in my opinions of the
miin f but until late in the last winter, I still intended to
support him ns tlie candidate of the Union parly. As 1
saw more of him, I became convinced, not only that he
was destitute of tilt- qUalificatiaus requisite for this high
office,-and- thathelind already greatly impaired the strength
of u party for which I feel a profound attachment, and to
the support of whose principles I have devoted several of
the most valuable years of my life; but that his continu
ance in office for another term would destroy the ascendan
cy of that party I could not vote for him without a con
sciousness of dishonest servility, deep degradation. I
v.-ould prefer an open enemy to the party of which I am a
member. But I do not consider Gov. Gilmer to bo an ene
my to the"principles of the Union party. I believe him to
be an honorable man. and an honest politician, and at heart
a Lqiion man. I will therefore forego my objections to him,
and' vote for him in preference to Gov. Schley.
Accept my thanks for your friendly notice to me of the
false report id this subject.
W ith great regard, I am, Ac.

TO THE STATE RIGHTS MEN OF PUTNAM CO.
In a few days you will be called on to exercise the right
of suffrage; a privilege secured to you by the Constitution
of the country. It was deemed prudent by a portion of the
party to recommend the names of fourgcntlcmen from our
ranks to represent us in the ensuing Legislature ; a meeting
of the party was invited, and a simple request made to
the different districts to send their delegates for this pur
pose. It is true all the districts were not represented ; nei
ther did every man of the party turn out, yet enough lias been
done to satisfy tlie great body of tbe party, that the gentle
men whose names are before the people arc unquestionably
entitled to the confidence of the State Rights men of Put
nam county. Now, friends of the State Rights party, look
sharp. Notwithstanding many of us are opposed to nomi
nations on principle, and others differ as to the mode, &c.,
yet as friends, we should not he divided ; we have not sur
rendered our principles and our cause into tlie hands of the
Union Schley party, consisting of about two hundred in
number. No, this cannot, ought not, must not be so.—"
Tn the spirit of compromise let us come together.—
Let us feel together and act together. Let us re
member the days of our Troup, and the conflicts of 1325
and ’32. Be you assured, my State Rights friends, the
whole design is to increase the vote for Schley. Do von '
require tint" proof of this assertion ? Have von not seen
the new edition of Toni*Haynes’ Book against Mr. Gilmer, I
in pamphlet hrrm, written and published by some Union
Van Buren man, and sent all over the coautry, and for i
what? to create confusion in the ranks of the State j
Rights party. Schley Politics, Federalism and Bishopism j
ouirht not to be in
old Putnam. We nee
great trial that now awaits our Country. Air. Gilmer’s ho
nesty never has been questioned. Lot us then, as one bran,
come to his support.

PBESENTJIEN'FJ*
Of the Grand Jury of Morgan county, Sept. Term, 1837.
npIIE Grand Jury, sworn and einpanslled for tlie present
J term of the Court, make the following Presentments:
We beg leave to notice briefly several matters which appear
to 03 to be of great public interest. And-1st. Tbe contempla-
tsri establishment of- a Court for the Correction of Errors.
;It is well known’that tlie establishment of such a tribunal-
has* lone been desired by, as we believe, a large majority of the
citizens of onrcouuty; and as proofof the correctness of this
opinion, we would refer to the continued and uniform action
of our Grand J uries for the last ten years. It was fondly hoped
by the friends of the measure in every part of the country, that’
the'struggle was ended when tire Constitution was amended sd’
as rto authorize the Legislature to act upon the subject; but tlie”
experience of the last two years, has proven that the battle is
to be fought over again in tlie Legislature. Without going into
any of the reasons why we think the establishment of such a
Court highly expedient. We will now only refer to what we
conceive to be an obligation resting upon our legislators, para
mount to all others,—the obligation imposed by the imperative
teian of the Constitution itself. We cannot therefore but ex
press a hope, that at the next session of our Legislature, the
Constitution will be carried out by the establishment of tlie
Court; and to this end, we would respectfully request our
Senator and Representatives wlio may represent us in that
body, to lend tlieir aid in accomplishing tbe views above ex
pressed.
Jn tbe second place, we would refer to the frequent violation
ofsthe law prohibiting the illegal traffic with slaves, as a great
ami {rrowing evil, from tbe great difficulty of procuring such
testimony as would be sufficient to convict a person of this of
fence. This body have no specific case to notice, they would
therefore close what they have to say upon this subject by urg
ing upon tlieir fellow-citizens generally tbe necessity of aetivi-
tjt'smd vigilance in bringing to justice all such individuals as
litay-bc* found violating the law iu this respect.
Ip closing what we have to say in relation to matters of a
public nature, we feel ourselves compelled by a sense of public
ditty, to advert for a moment to the great and alarming preva-
letice'of vice-and immorality, of almost every grade and vari
ety, in out community, but more especially to gaming and
drunkenness.
Net having been aided by tlie Court in our efforts to drag
tJt'Kglrt some' of'tbe deeds of darkness almost daily, as we be
lieve, enacted in our midst, for tlie want of power iu the Court
to'’compel the attendance of witnesses, unless subpccned in
some specified case, all we can do is to leave tbe correction
ofHlre evils alluded t(» to tbe actiontof the virtuous aud enlight
ened amongst our fellow-citizens, expressing a hope that some
thing will be done, and that sfpeedily, to stay tlie growing and
swelling tide of wickedness which threatens to overwhelm and
e'ngulph us.
AVe accord to his honor Judge Pollifll our approbation for
the assiduitv and impartiality with which lie has discharged
Msfo'ffiiri'it tfnties during the present term.
We return oar thanks to the Solicitor (Jenera? for hi!'court
esy to this body.
We request that our presentments, of a trcneral character,
be published in tbe Southern Recorder and Federal Union.
