milliners mid spoil surdity of absurdities! ! ! ! Many Troup men can bo found,who were in 1806. in favour of n public Halo of the domain of the stale ; but who arc now, in favour of n continuation of the lottery; yet the moat hon- cst of these men, we suppose, if a candidate like Mr Lumpkin, would be charged with in consistency ? (22.) Let this charge against Mr. L. be no more repealed. It has been naked whether Mr. L. was friendly to Mr. Calhoun ? IVc answer that ho re>pects Mr. Calhoun for Ins great talents and < able services to Ins country, nnd will not ho und “ tell tlielralli,” and as yet none have be _ tally regardless of reputation as to prefer one specific allegation against him." it. Mr. I.. was in 18*21, 2, 3, 4, 5, and G, the political friend of Mr. Cullioun, while he was supporting the Tarilfand Internal Improvements, yet Mr. I.. at ,!iis time is prolc-sedly opposed to both these measures, lias he, or has he not changed I *1. A writer over the signature of Clark, in an ail. Jress “ToIlia Clark party throughout the siate,"m the Federal Union of May 5, 1831, speaking of bringing forward a candidate tin Governor, remarks: 11 This is an important crisis with us. This year a great bailie is be to fought in the different counties for members of tho legislature, in order to secure the elec, turn of lndgti and other offices from our respective parties—and presenting.! candidate for Governor, wilt here Him a JuckitSH, because some have seen a,a ? a,ldi,ionjl tnmive and incentive for exertion, add I rniicb to our pro.^pcrta ofsuccess lor numbers, and con fit te call him by so hard a mirno, but he is not j for Mr. Calhoun for President, in opposition] ^equently for Judges, 6cc.' 5. If the 44 opinions** of Mr. Gilmer ami Mr. Lump- to Gen. Jackson. (23.) Nothing can be more |k' n “ harmonise,”and .Mr. L. is satisfied inconceivably ridiculous, limn tbn plea stl up ^ more • wr,.l" hv remain..,,, i„ c„„o,e bv ihe I'roup people, to bcllte exclusive friends or tien, Jackson, (24 ) and nothing can bo more frivolous and unfounded than tho charge mode against Mr. Lumpkin, of being opposed to Gen. Jackson. Every tvro in politics, knows the into perfectly well, when Mr. Lumpkin was proscribed nnd suffered political martyrdom, for no other reason on earrb, ihnii for Ins friendship to Gen. Jackson; (25.) nnd ho is now charged of being nguinst him. Oh.' shame! shame! upon such fuse subterfuges. Every one knows tho lime when many violent Troup men t wefe abusing general Jackson in the bitterest terms, nnd held tip bis character in blackness nnd ridicule before the people of Georgia, and proscribed all Iris friends ;-nnd yet “ Oh mirubile d’etu,” they aro Ins only tmo friends. VVero ever any pretensions so supurlntively absurd, some have asked if Mr. L. was not a Nullifier, Wo unswer that lie is no', and defy any proof whatever to the contrary. Mr. Lumpkin possesses claims for tho office of Governor, winch ore greatly beyond what is allowed him by even moderate men. He lias over been distinguished for great in dustry, sobriety, and Christian benevolence; his talents are of a highly useful and practical order; ho is in favour of education, both ge neral and central, and works of practical inter nal improvement. Asn member of Congress, he was ever faithful and true to bis post, and served tho state with fidelity, honor nnd usefulness. Before and after hu went to Washington, he made himself well acquain ted with the Indian relations of the Govern ment, in all their bearings, and especially with those relative to the interest of Georgia. He succeeded at first in getting an appropriation of 1500 dollars to employ an agont to view the country West of the Mississippi, to ascertain its fitness ns A residence for the Indians. This agent reported favorably, which greatly pro moted the measure, which resulted in nn ap propriation of 500,000 dollars to effect the en tire removal of all the tribes, East of the Mis sissippi. Being n useful member of tile com mittee on Indian affairs, and holding a relation townrds tho President, that the other delega tion did not. lie was enabled to off,-it much on this important question. However great the talents and exertions of the other members were, still Gen. Jackson knew Mr. L. bad the been his uniform and steadfast friend, while others had not, and must therefore have been on greater terms of confidence with him ilion the rest. During tho whole time that Cobb, F'*rsylh, and many other men of distinguished talents, woro members of Congress, they had not been able to effect uny thing scarcely nn this question, in favour of the stale ; and the hue and cry of persecution was heard against tho General Government. Yet it so happen ed. that when Gen. Jackson and Mr. Lump kin were thrown together nt Washington, hav ing previously corresponded on tho Indiun question, and agreed in their opinions. A great deal more was accomplished than had been done before. Wo do not give, by any means, Mr. Lumpkin all the credit in this mat ter—other men, it is true wero efficient aiders in the business ; but then wlial wo affirm, is that Mr. L. exercised an influence in the case greatly beyond what even many of his friends •have supposed. It i9 not wonderful, that a great many lawyers in tho State, should ho found opposed to Mr. Lumpkin, who is nfarmer. It is known thnt lawyers monopolize most of the political offices, and they look upon the Governor’s ap pointment ns belonging to them by succession. It bus been filled by lawyers for tho last 10 or 12 years, nnd they determine, if (hey can help it, (bat no otic shall be elected to that placj,un- Jess he bo a lawyer. (27.) Mr. Lumpkin is measurably a self made man; Mr. Gilmer on tho contrary, lias bad wealth, and an aristocratic family at his hack, which enabled him to study Greek and Latin ; (28.) While Mr. L. may Imve been holding the plough handles in the day, and reading by nrc light at night. (29) Mr. G. may have been lolling on his sofa, reading novels, nnd plays. In fuvour of Mr. G. all the aristocra* cv "(30.) of the state will unilo. In favour of 31 r. L. all tho plain dcmorruls will rally. Con sidering Mr. Ids. opportunities, and the slock of practical and political, general and minute information lie has arquiied, it is prodigious. F.-« men understand the practical operations of government better than Mr. L. In such n man’s hands tho helm of the state will bo per fectly sufe. What we have stated, has been done wc trust, in a spirit of moderation, and of truth ; this wo thought due to Mr. Lumpkin and the public, at the hands of-—JUSTICE. Those papers in (ho state, which have published any of the objections an^wored above, will do the writer a favour, and Mr. Lumpkin an act of justice, by publishing this article also. “• I. Sec ettrart of an article in this day’s paper, from the Macon Telegraph; one from tho Georgia Journal; (hut In* cun be more “useful” by remaining in Congress, why wish In he elected Governor, when “ there is already confi. ded to’* him “ for two years yet to come, an important official trust, by the direct suffrages of the people,” ami ; when he is satisfied that “ to uhandon that trust will not meet the approbation of some of those who con* ferred it.** Is it to give t<i those opposed (o Mr. Gilmer, the power of putting down the principles he advocates? 6. Mr. L. it is said continued in the support of Mr. Crawford until about 1818. or ID, when through the influence of Mr. CaMioun, and the prospect held out to him by the rising hopes of Gen. Clark, he abandon* cd Mr. Cran ford, and identified his interests with those of Mr. C. and Gm. C. If as “Justice” states, an ef fort was made bv the fii*»ndsof Mr. Crawford to put him down, it was not until lie had abandoned Mr. C. 7. As an evidence oft he incorrectness of this remark, we give an extract from an article which appeared in tho Georgia Courier of the lstiusf. “ The friend, ostensibly so much of Wm. II. Craw ford in 1323, that that distinguished man, on a motive of personal regard for him, wrote to at least one influ ential individual as I know, to further Mr. L’s election as a member of Congress; in three months after the election, the enemy m fact so much of thnt man, as to write to John C. Calhonn the letter above referred to enclosing one from Daniel Ncwnan, 44 his friend in whom,” to use his own language, 44 he had great confi dence,” and in whose letter thus enclosed, there was a direct charge of want of veracity in Wu. 1!. Crawford.” 8. tVc ask 44 Justice” if nt the time of which he speaks, the friends of Mr. L. were not 44 persecuting” Mr C. 44 even to political extermination” and if the party of which Mr. I. was then a member, and is now the candidate, have evinced any other than a deadly hostility to Mr. C. It is loo late for 44 Justice” to raise the cry of 44 prosecution,” it can avail nothing. 9. in 1825, the friends of Mr. Crawford supported Mr. Adams, as their second choice. Mr. A. had givon in his adlwHion to the Republican purty, and although uatiicd, was believed to be sincere. When the fiends of Mr. C. or tho Troup party, th same year, found Mr. Adams supporting Federal principles, they abandoned him in order to vindicate the rights of Georgia. The same year iheClaik party, of which Mr. t.umpkin wns a member, supported Mr. A. and his agents in their opposition to Georgia. Who was at that time the most consistent t 10. This is an unqualified admission that Mr. Craw ford is a republican. Mr. L according to the reasoning <»f 44 Justice** might have been a Federalist be fore lie became his supporter. Mr. L. is now opposing Mr. C. opposing Mr. Gilmer the political tiiend of Mr. C. and is the candidate of a party who have been, time out of mind, the avowed political enemies of Mr. C. yet both Mr. G. and Mr. I., arc republicans. 11. 44 Mr. Crawford himself* has not changed his opinion upon the U. S. Bank, he has upon this ques tion been uniformly consistent, the opinion of 44 Justice” to tire contrary, notwithstanding. 12. In 1819, Mr. h. was a member of the Crawford party, and the persona/ and political friend of Mr. C. In 1330 and 1331, Mr. L. is united with those who have alwuys opposed the principles of Mr. C. Mr. C’s 4 * un compromising prejudices” therefore, n?«“ Justice” terms his opinion, is based upon the fact of Mr. L. being his friend in 1819, and his enemy and opponent in 1830 and *31 -of his being tho advocate of the same principles in 1819, ami of being associated with others in attempt ing to destroy them in 1631. Tins it is difficult to gainsay or deny. 13. If Mr. L. has not ” apostaliicd” lie has support ed, und received the support of .those who soppoitcd Mr Adams in 1825 and G. Mr. Adams contended in his first nv’ssagr that the 44 Representative should not he palsied by tho wishes of his constituents.” Though wedo rmr believe that Mr. Is. yielded hie assent to the truth of this doctrine, still others less chaiitublc. might justly suspect him. M. Mr. I.. is generally believed to be opposed to the 1 ‘'aritF. If [jis/riVnc/* are opposed to tho ineasur, why object to being represented in tho convention about to he held in Philadelphia. Mr. I.. was present at the raising of the 44 sepulchre of the Union” in 1828; yet in 1H3I, w hen there is a hope of pulling it down, without the aid of that monster, yclept 44 Nullificution,”hc stood aloof from it. Has Mr. L. changed his views upon till* subject 7 15. Air. L. is now said to ho the advocate of stsic rights, teas he so in 1S25? He has recently been charg ed with voting in favor of the repeal ofthc section of the Judiciary act, and of being a 41 nulfificr” in con sequence; this he has denial General Jackson »cat in favor of tiie repeal of that dot. Genera! Jackson is therefore a nullifier, yet ■ r. L. supports Gen. Jackson. 16. If Mr. I,, is the poti/iral friend of Col. Troup, the advocate of his principles, why does he lend himself to the opposite party toput down those principles. Col. T. w charged bv the Clark party with being a nulfificr; Mr. !.. is the political friend of Col. T. therefore Mr. I,, n a nullifier; tho party opposed to Col. T. are profes sedly opposed to nullification, yet am supporting Mr. 1.. w ho is a nullifier, and the personal and jmlitical friend of Col. Troup. Til** avowed object nl the present con test is to pul down the doctrines of Troup. Is Mr I,. I to be the instrument of putting down the very princi ples he advocates ? Is he a mere tool in the hands of otbrm? l\e cannot reconcile those things. 17. A certain gentleman in 1825, «»r 6, contended for the 44 rigid of Georgia to sell u sute.” The same gentleman was elected that year to Congress by trie npposit* parly. Mr. I.. supported, and belonged to that parly in 1823. 'Till 4 * Justice” charge us w nh false- hood in saying, that Mr. L. has cither opposed his cicn principles, or suppoiied those nt this time in tho view •if tho people of Georgia,decidedly anti-republican ? IVc think he will not. |8. The arguments of 44 Justice” ore fortunately for us, against Mr. Lumpkin. In 1821, when the state was not 44 in debt” Mr. L. was the advocate of liberal reserves, and resigned his seat in the legislature be cause his opinion as to the distribution of the public lands differed front bis constituents. In 1825, when the state was not 44 in debt,” he was found supporting the same views. In 1830, when the state wasnot 44 in debt” be is said upon good authority, to have approved (with nit excepting the gold mines) of Mr. Cl’s, entire message. In August, 1831, he is 44 utterly opposed to reserving the gold mines” und thinks that 44 unwise” in Mr. G. which he approved but 8 or 9 months before. N. B. On thc28tli Nov. 1820, Mr. Lumpkin as a member from Morgan and chairman ofthc Committee on Literature,&c. made a report in the Legislature, speak ing in glowing terms ofthc ‘‘resources the State controll ed.” Tho school fund at that time, Mr. L. reported was 250.000 dollars. Of course then the argument hi* friend*adduce, that when he recommended large re- scivi s, the treasury was poor and the state in clout, is entirely fallacious. His letter to Gov. Claik recom mending reserves was written in 1821. 19. If the rights of the people could nci he 44 infring ed” in lSUC, by making reserves in the 4 lottery** of that year which was the 44 first,'* they coil'd not h- fringed” bv making reserves made by Mr. Gilmer. The land bill including and all, has passed. Mr. Gilmer sanctioned if, and every citixcn is entitled to a draw, anbjert to the di* qualifications only which the net imposes,sue has age, residence, &c. 21. The best refutation of this disingenuous, not to say dishonest mode of reasoning, w c give in Mr. Gil mer’s ow n language. 44 If they [tho mines] should prove exceedingly pro fitable, the state Would thereby be enabled to relieve the people from taxation, improve all the roads, render its rivers navigable, and cx end the advantages of edu cation to every class of society.” 22. This Isa mistake. Mr. L. is not charged with being inconsistent for his vote in 180G, it is for sustain ing the same views in 1821,1825 and 1830, and deny ing them in part in 1831. 23. To whom is Gen. Jackson indebted f»r the late unhappy misunderstanding between himself and Mr. Calhoun. Tho letter of Mr. Lumpkin, f which has pla ced them at issue,) who is the professed political and personal friend of Sir. Calhoun and <»en. Jackson, was written to Mr. Calhoun with o view of injuring Mr. Crawford. Does Mr. Lumpkin abandon Mr. C. because' Mr. Crawford has vindicated himself in the view of Gen. Jackson; if so,he could not Imve been sincere in Ids at tachment to Mr. C. 21. 44 Justice” has got 44 the wrong pig by the ear,” it is our Clark friends who profess to be the 44 exclusive friends” of Gen. Jackson. We are considered not on ly his illegitimate, but his eleventh hour friends. Will • 4 Justice” permit us to ask who were the greatest friends of Gen. Jackson in the Legislature of 1830. Gen. Jackson WAS known to be decidedly opposed at f/; last session, to Georgia's taking possession ojthe Cherokee country. Who support''<l this measure / Was it the Troup or the opposite party ? 25. This is another mistake; 44 Justice” alludes t< 1825, when Mr. L. and Gen. Colquett were in oppo.-i tion to each other as candidates for Congress. Mr. I. was supported as the candidate ofthc Clark, Gen C. as the candidate of the Troup party. Gen. J. was not to the best of our recollection connected with the ques tion. 26. If Col T. is a nullifier, is not Mr. L. who if* the political friend of Col. Troup, a nullifier also. This i> the objection ofthc opposite party to Col. Troup, will it not apply with equal force to Mr. Lmnpkiu ? Let 44 Justice” and others be honest to the public, and they will succeed better in their defence of Mr. L. 27. S, and 9. The objections embodied in these re ferences aie tooincftahly ridiculous lodc&mvca buriou- notice; they are (he morn dishonest, as they are intend’ ed to work upon the prejudices, not the reason of the public. Is Mr. Gilmer less qualified for Governor for being a lawyor—being able to read 44 Greek and Latin,” for having 44 lolled” upon n sofa, or read a 41 novel,” a 44 play” perhaps by candle light; while Mr. L. had the same means to enjoy these comforts, but chose a“ pine knot light.” If the poor aro to ho 44 gulled** by Mich reasoni-ig, wo arc deceived in our estimate of their honesty or sense 30. Of all tho objections winch reckless partisans have made to Mr. Gilmer, or tho Troup party, this t* undeniably the most tincandid and disingenuous. It was the cry however of 1825—then n 44 Broadcloth coat and a pair of boots” constituted an 44 aristocrat;” now, any inun opposed to Mr. Lumpkin is an “nristo era!.”' \\hat definition shall we have next Mr. “Jus ticc.” * 4 Wc want to hear from you again.” KNOW all men by these presents, that I, Clinrles Quigley, of the State aforesaid, and town of Washing ton, for myself nominate, eonstitutr, and appoint llo- hert Burns of the state and county aforesaid, my law Robert J GEORGIA, HALL COUNTY. on^iiia "MB; ifEKf’AS i\elson Dickerson ami John McCor- T ▼ neli, administrators on tho estate of Robert W est brook**, der’d, apply to me for letters ulDisnussion from t'Uid estate : AND whereas John Wayne, adin'r. and Orpha H'iJ- sou, Adinr’x on the estate of John Wilson, dee’d. apply to me lor letters of Dismission front said estate : These are therefore to cite and admonish all and sin gular the kindred and credit, rs of said deceased, to he time preset ih» d by ful Attorney irrevocable, lo iloantlact all tliii.ps, ■ n anrl. and appear at rny office within tin - about a certain tract of hind lyinc and bein- in the ! ,h " v cl,,,,e ' '/■»» ,l,c >' l“V.

A communication over the signature of Charles Quigley, made its appearance in the Washington New •f the 23d July, ln«t. In that communication, the cha racters of Mr. Robert Burns, late of Hall c ounty, and invself, arc unjustly aspersed; and a duty which I myself, my family, and my friends, demands a refuta tion of those aspersions in the same public manner I shall not imitate Mr. Quigley, and insult the pub lic after arreting its aft* nfion, bv making grave charges without introducing a scintilla of evidence to substantiate them. No, I invite public attention to facts, and should jus*lv merit the most pointed disnp rotation, could I consent to thtust lo view my owi idle declarations. Perhaps Mr. Quigley, (as many of the ignorant do,) believes he stands excused in the matter, by failing to repeat in his commnnica inn, that ho could prove what is there said. To better informed minds, however, this nff mls no shield, but rebound- on the slanderer with a tenfold severity. Mr. Quigley in hi» communication alluded lo, states, that lie gave to Robert Borns sometime in January, 1316, an instrument i*» writing to lease and collect rents only, for a certain tract of land containing eight thou sand acres, and lying in Franklin county, which he, Quigley, purchased at Sheriff’s sole; cleaily intimating the land is still Ins own, and that he, (Quigley) gave to Mr. Burns no further authority by said instrument, than to loose said land, and collect rents for him, the said Quigley. The public lias Mr. Quigley’s statement ns regards this instrument in writing os lie ea Is it, but which iH correctly speaking, a Power of Attorney. I will not say what his object in staking it was; but if its own terms arc to be relied on, and his deliberate expps- sions since made, as maybe fully understood by refer ence to certificate marked A, hereto subjoined, I am comsci ius every one in the exercise of reason will be satisfied. Mr. Quigley stands convicted in this part ol his story of a wilful misrepresentation, or under the most chant aide view, o palpable mistake. So much for the Power of Attorney, und the motive for making it. Mr. Quigley next states, by accident when last in llafl county, he left with him, (Robert Burns) nn rddigathm , r f C‘»r, Striblii:?) which was assigned to him, (Quiuley) and which he Uml«r9«5ind8 (oil into the liumL of my self, and that the assignment had hern torn off of said obligation. This part of Mr. Quigley’s communica tion evidently implicates me with having some ogrnry in a base transaction, if indeed a v oid of it w*-t« »ru**. Mr. Quigley was not satisfied with having in on indi rect man er charged rue in a Newspaper publication with impropriety os regards the alleged assignment on sti l b rnd.bnt i*» addition the do, a'ldr-'sa letter to me bearing date 23<1 July loM, in * hie.It he holds the following language in allusion to said bond, 44 1 saw Colonel Stribling, (meaning the obligor) on his way to Augusta, he told me all about it, when noticing the torn bond you (meaning myself) raid yattrchddrrn hud torn it. In answer to this part of Mr. Qutgloy’s publi-l cation, I would again respectfully refer the public to a letter of Col. Stribling addressed to myself, a copy ».! which is hereto annexed, and marked l>. ami also the certificate of William K. Love, Esq. hereto annexed, marked C t* itlt this testimony before the public, 11 leave Mr. Quigley with the sheerest pity for hisdiub I- ic»! attack with this parting admonition, tore* ember in future the slandered in this com.try have a right to reply, nnd that an intelligent and virtuous community in a controversy of this kind, always require proof when a grave charge is made, relyiug* nothing on the statement of either party. Mr. Quigley mav hnvn one consolation left, that is of knowing, if the fiddle has just qow detected him in miHreprc«entn»ion, thnt he was conscious of it long since, and consequently bit ter informed than a large portion of the como.u*-i»y.
