Jress “ToIlia Clark party throughout the siate,"m the
Federal Union of May 5, 1831, speaking of bringing
forward a candidate tin Governor, remarks:

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;

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.”

TO THE PUBLIC.
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.
