- CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AUGUSTA'.
TUESDAY. AUGUST 23~1831.
Wbilr the Editor, of the Washington News
should he engaged in spreading abroad “ the ga
thering word—Unite ! Unite!” he is employed
unhappily, in a labor of all others the most vain
and unprofitable that could occupy his attention —
an attack upon William H. Crawford. Nothing
can be more unequal than such a contest, and the
Knight of La Mancha in his greatest delusions, ne
vet; dreamed more idly than does the worthy editor,
when he proposes to vanquish our venerable fel
low citizen. We have looked carefully through
the Editorial of the News and its communications
to find a serious charge against Hr. Crawford ; we
have looked in vain—vague hints and indefinite
surmises—the offspring evidently of a deep-rooted
personal dislike—are all that we have been able to
discover. It is really to be regretted that the edi
tor of the News should venture in the face of the
public to pass a sentence of condemnation upon
the brightest ornament of his nun party on the
most trivial and unjust grounds—if those can be call
ed grounds, which are wholly untenable.
If we understand the worthy editor, Mr. Craw
ford is accused of aristocracy—the very last charge
we ever expected to be urged against Kim and
to which the open volume of his whole life is an
ample refutation. In private life—in the councils
of the nation, in the Courts of Kings— William H.
Crawford has ever been considered a primitive &
uncompromising Republican. It is not the first time
that a character wholly foreign to him has been as
cribed to this illustrious man. He has been called
a giant of intrigue—when he is frank and straight
forward—and subtle and designing, when there is
no man—we assert without le»r of contradiction by
those that know him—no statesman—so free from
or so much above disguise. The News may deny
to him if it pleases those rtfinemenis of civility
which belong to the fcneebending courtier—but the
attempt to brand him with the title of “ Aristocrat”
is rash and imprudent.—The News might as well
call the aged Macon —the incarnation of Democra
cy itself—an aristocrat.
The intimation that this great man is wanting in
intelligence, is quite as ridiculous as the charge we
have been considering, and it is rendered still more
so by the proof relied on. Judge Crawford is said
to have sadly committed himself, in an open viola
tion of every principle of law and equity. Let u:
tee irthis be in fact the car,e—and if not— the pub
lic must perceive, how unreasonable and unjust is
this assault upon a highly gifted and virtuous magis
trate. The decision inwhich this mighty error oc
curs is this, ‘lt has been contended that Mrs. C. the
cestui que trust has children who ought to be joined
in '.he Bill; but that fact does not appear and if true
cannot be taken advantage of by Demurrer." Now
the Judge is right, Lid his language must be per
verted and misapplied before be can be put in me
wrong. The fact that Mrs. C. had children noljtnneo
in the Bill—did not appear on the Bill itself, and noi
appearing there, although it might be true- ■a Demur,
rer woull not lie on that account. This is the obvious
meaning of the Judge—he does not say, a want ol
parties is in no case a cause for Demurrer, but that
a Demurrer will not lie for the want of parties, un
less that fact appear upon the face of the Bill. The
decision is in strict conformity with the law extracts
made by the Editor himself, who has fallen into the
singular mistake of charging Judge Crawford with
error, and then proving his charge to be without the
slightest foundation. Never was argument so com
pletely fslodese as this of the worthy Editor—hii
own Book condemns him—Mitford (quoted by him
self,) says, "Whenever a want of parties appears or*
the face of a Bill— the warn of parlies is a cause 01
Demurrer.”— We believe >he worthy editor is tu
Lawyer, and may be theretore excused for misun
dersianding &. misapplying legal doctrines—but car
he he excused to his party— to himself, for urging s
serious charge against Mr. Crawford, without dut
and proper examination ? We will sav to the editoi
of the News, tha; upon the subjec of Mr Craw
ford's intelligence, note are f»• persons compe
tent to decide—because there are few who are ir
that respect his compeers —and our friend, talentei
though he may be—would have great reason to > on
gratulate himself, if he could compare with Willian
H. Crawford, in greatness and depth of mind.
In relation to the letter from Col, Pasteur to Mr
pope, and the reply, we have only to repeat ou
regret that Troup men should not be better em
ployed than in thus striving to sully and obscur
acknowledged merit.—We learn, however, tba
Mr. Pope will not in all probability, be elected fron
Wilkes. His opinions and wishes therefore may b
expected to have but little influence on the judicis
election.
We shall not continue this controversy—we woul
have no quarrel with the editor of the News. W
jtill behove Mr. Crawford will be re elected, am
that Mr. Sayre will not oppose him; the News entei
tains a different opinion —it is well—one or tfi
•then will one day be convinced by coming events
We invite the worthy editor to co operate with u
jn a matter in which we cannot fail cordially to agrei
—we mean the re-election of Governor Gilmer— o
which result, information from several quarters
gives us high hopes.

We hare read the Vice President’s profession t
faith with interest —a portion of it—that, for ir
stance, which dwells on the ills ol the 1 ariff an
the excitement produced by them—is quite ablt
while in other parts of the performance, the sut
iects of which he treats, are not boldly and well d(
fined. On the whole we were disappointed, sh
Yieo President does not distinctly avow or deny th
doctr.ne that a single State may put herself on hex (
'sovereignty and nullify an act of Congress —he does i
approve or disapprove of the course adopted „
;by his party in Carolina—he does not tell us distinct j t
!Iy how fur he is prepared to sustain manufacture r, 1
and is silent respecting internal improvements. We
■ wish he had been more explicit, for it does not be- {
* come a candidate for the Presidency—and we take c
it—he is before the people in that atlitude--to give A
* a partial expression to his opinions or to deal in
* mysticism —especially when he comes forward with j
the avowed design of making his sentiments known. I

"'the result will be very favorable to the wishes of s
s Geojgia, j
yj The people of Georgia are indebted, for this I
1 measure on the part of the President, to the earnest 1
endeavors of Governor Gilmer to obtain possession j
I 'of the Cherokee country at an early day. It is un
y derstood that the inclinations of the United States
B| Government were against the measure but that
„ they yielded to the urgent representations of Gov.,
Gilmer of its indispensible necessity.

Alfred H. Cowtu is no more !■—He died thia

summons reached him he was engaged in arguing
an important case before our county Coutt, and had
proceeded tor fifteen or twenty minutes with unusu
al ability when he suddenly fanltered and sunk into
his seal with barely strength enough left to utter a
word or two to apprize his friends of his situation.
Medical gentlemen were immediately in attend
ance and every effort which human skill could sug
gest was made to relieve t)im ; but it was all in vain.

thority before him, he laid down ihe book, stagger
ed back into a chair, and extended his arm, say
ing, “My friends, bleed me !” These were tiie
last words he spoke. Medical aid was almost in
stant ly afforded and every means employed to re
store him, but in vain. Mr Powell was about 50
years ot age, was in excellent health, and was on
Monday elected to the House of Uelagates, having
retained his seat on the bench throughout that day.”
