AatEsaams? s&32aD<m&i?, WEDNESDAY. JULY 12, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT OF THE EXITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: LEVI WOODBI RY, FOR GOVERNOR, MARK A. COOPER, OF MURRAY. FOR CONGRESS, JAMES 11. STARK, OF BUTTS. We marked the birth-day of our Journal, by unfurling' to the breeze the broad banner of Democracy, and inscribing upon its bright field the stainless name of John C. Calhoun, the American Aristides, as our First Choice for President of the United States ; and for the Vice Presidency, the name of that wise, honest and able Statesman and unswerving Patriot, Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire : Subject, of course, to the decision of a Na tional Democratic Convention: The Delegates to be chosen directly by the People —to convene at Balti more, May, 1844, and there individu ally express Faithfully, the will of their Constituents. We ask but a fair field and fair play —and then “ God defend the Right." Political Incendiarism. Wc have noticed with deep regret the dealh-strug gl -8 that arc making by a few interested agitators, to stir up distrust, strfc and divisions in the ranks of the Democratic party in this State, on the ground of the former |ierriicious contentions, which so long con tinued to disturb anJ disgrace Georgia, and inflict deep and almost irrctndiablc wounds upon her dear est interests. We have called these feuds disgrace ful to Republican Citizens they were so because they had little wiser or more dignified f cjndation than whether this or that degree of office-seekers should be fed with the loaves and fishes, distributed at the state-house. Even the question of Nullifica tion, in Georgia, took this sha[ie. We notice here that much slandered and grossly misrepresented doc trine unwillingly, as it has long since fully accom plished its object, and reposed in undisturbed quie tude, and has no In-aring whatever on the present era. We turn to the subject now, for the pur|>ose of correcting a wilful falsifi ation of one of the incendi ary prints, which recently defined Nullification as resisting a law of Congress. Nullification, after all the Raw-Head and Bloody- Bunes caricatures of it, which were exhibited to the people, seems to have been quite a harmless affair. Then our citizens were frightened out of llier pro prieties by the awful predictions of the hack prints and hawk orutors. According to them, the Nullify ing States were to become sla.ghter-houses the sack of Troy, annihilation of Carthage, or the utter destruction of Jerusalem, where, of a great city, one stone w.as not left upon another, was but boy’s play, to the desolation this terrible Nullification was to pro duce. The ladies, poor things, who liked the Nulli fiers, bless their kind hearts, could dream of nothing, but the roar of cannon, charges of cavalry, the mid night assault on their dwellings by the U. S. troops, or, like Adelade, visiting the “ Battle-field’s dreadful array,” to find, console and Lind up the wounds of their wounded hussars. The Union girls looked saucy enough, knowing that a fusilade from their bright eyes, would empty cveiy officers saddle in the caval ry the infantry, they seemed not to care about. Now, kind reader, can you help us to a solution of she question “ why ladies, in general, show so deci ded a preference for dragoons and lawyers, almve those who go to battle on foot 1 We have tried the problem often, but could make noting of it. But to return to the Union and Nullification fuss. The men of the two parties looked big at each other knives, and hatchets were talked, of—some, far gone in fatality, actually furnished themselves with these exponents of the pride, pomp ami circumstance of war. The government sent vessels of war to one or two harbors, posted troops at different points, &c., &c. Now, after all these dreadful notes of preparation had been sounded, the whole thing assumed much the apjiearancc of a hoax for the Government dared not, could not, without disorganization, strike the first blow against a sovereign State —and no State could be so deeply infested with ninnyisrn, as, (without provocation,) to commence hostilities against the whole force of the Union. Well, the belliger ents looked fierce at each other for a season —the Government at length backed out, as it has been obliged to do in all cases where it attempted to exer cise an unconstitutional or douUful power cover ing its retreat under the compromise act, and both the parties retired to repose on their ink-stand lau rels. But, dear reader, did you but know with what ab surd intensity, the wise folks of the two parties, ha ted each other. We used to be amused at the effect, our palmetto medal produced on an old friend, as he scowled ujmui it, his whiskers would bristle up “ like quils U|ion the fretful porcupine.” What renders this violence and hostility of feeling among citizens, whoso rights and interests were identical,more blame able and ridiculous, is, there was no differeme of principle between the contending parties, either in Georgia or South Carolina each party was equal ly anxious, to preserve the integrity of the Union, combined with the inviolability of the Rights of the States, as guaranteed by the Constitution. The difference between them, was simply that of opinion, as to the means of securing these |>aramoiint objects. The Nullifiers believed with Jefferson, Madison, and the patriot Statesmen of 98 lBOO and the Kentucky Resolutions, that Nullification was the rightful remedy experience showed that it was a safe and in every instance of its application, a successful one— it has been tried we believe by half the states in the Union. We never knew a Nulli ficr, that understood the doctrine of his belief, who was not a zealous and sincere Union man— for our selves and those we associate with, we declare con scientiously, we believed it (nullification) to be the true cement of our confederacy that it would lie an efficient check on the reckless and dishonest legisla tion of corrupt and ignorant majorities in Congress; and we were sure no single Slate would resort to it, unless, in the most exigent emergencies. We have ever regarded the Union of the States, as one of the sahliuiest conceptions of political science. It solved the grand problem, of ada|>ting the freest republican institutions, to a country or a population, however extended. This directly contradicts the judgement of all political writers, from Aristotle down to Mon tesquieu and Delome all deny the practicability of a republic, in an extensive country and a great pop ulation. The principles of our Union wisely and honestly carried out, might unite the civilixed world, into one stupendous republic, securing liberty, peace and happiness to all mankind. Its blessings and utilities to every member of the confederacy, aro incalculable. Were little Delaware assailed, it flings before her the Aegis of a mighty nation the fleets and armies of the United States arc around her—what has she to fear 1 Wo to those selfish schemes that endanger its existence. We return to the incendiary assertion, that Nul lification meant resisting a law of Congress. Wc will not trust ourselves to characterize those who are guilty of such unblushing violations of truth and justice. Among the other vitally important purposes, the National Compromise Act, or Constitution of the U. S., was intended to answer, was that of a type or pattern, ta which all the legislation of Congress should scrupulously confor.u —and though it is not so set down in words, the inference is irresistable, that any enactment of that body, wanting the con formity, is from that want, destitute of all binding force, and necessarily an utter Nullity, any farther '.ban the moderation of a State, on which the enact ment bears onerously, wisely choose, as the smaller evil, to submit, till an honcstcr or better informed majority occupy the floor of Congress. We have been tempted into this over lengthy train of remarks, to shew that as far as ihe people of Georgia are con ceded— in all their disputes, theie has lieen hut a difference of opinion and not of principle, for (with the exception of the Federal wire pullers, now lead ing Whigs) the people of this State have been ardent Jeffersonian Democrats. Had it not been for the consideration above noted, to prove that wc were all Union men, anJ that a con tingency might arise, in which every Southern citi zen would lie an avowed Nullifier, we should as soon have thought of discussing the events of the Punic war, as the character of Nullification. We thank Heaven there is no earthly use for it now, and de voutly hope there never may tie again— but as wid dow Wadman’s maid said to cor|H>ral Trim, “It’s well enough to have a thing of the kind in the house.” Bless us, Bibb Again, Why this is a second edition of Monsieur Ton son. It is singular what curiosity the veriest trifles, sometimes excite. We have been asked half a dozen times, “ who wrote Bibb 1 ” verily good people, we don't know. We have listened to quid nunco opin ions on the important matter with comfortable indif ference, for wc cared not a straw about the author ship. As well as can he made out, through the mists oi verbiage in which Bibb has enveloped his meaning, he aims to prove, that Calhoun and not Clay is en titled to the paternity of the American system. There are propositions, whose absurdity and con travention of generally known and indisputable facts, isofa character so startling and enormous, that Ik who affirms them, excites*'a suspicion, either of his seriousness or sanity. Had Bibb asser'ed, that the sun rose in the West and when he shod bis splrn lore over meridian, “disastrous twilight or dark ness visible” was produced, it could not have been more projKislerous, or more untrue, than his attempt to fasten the paternity ol the American System on John C. Calhoun. Nor wout it he less silly or less dishonest to rob to the honor to Henry Clay. Any of our readers, desirous of full satisfaction on these (mints, may obtain it by a perusal of the biography of Henry Clay, by George D. Prentiss, Lexington, Ky. The writer is a man of considera ble talent, and a zealous admiercr of bis patron. The whole book, in truth, is an elaborate array of evi deuce, to prove that Clay is entitled to the sole au thorship of the American System—U. S. Bank Internal Improvement by the General Government— a Protective Tariff —a government of unlimited ano irresponsible expenditure. To these features of the obi Federal S-/stein, of that splenJiJ monarchal cor ruptionist, Alexander Hamilton, Clay has added de formities more peculiarly his own A Bankrupt Law, which for one honest mail it has benefited, has ruined hundreds —an assuniptfon of the Slate debts by tlie U. States —a distribution of the Land Reve nue among ths States, to brilie them, subvert their independence, and create an apparent necessity for a Tariff, withering in its operation to Agriculture and Commerce. Rut —we mention it last, it is not the least of Mr. Clay’s sins against his country is the unabating efforts he lias been making for years back, to subvert the Constitution, by paralyzing the conservative energies of the Veto. One of the facts upon which Bibb secerns to rely as proving Mr. Calhoun’s authorship of the protec tive policy, is that he advocated a higher rate of du ty than did the majority of the Southern memliers. How does this aid Bibb’s thesis'! Notan atom.— It proves only that the young statesman had made a justrr estimate of the necessities of the Government, than his seniors. On a visit to the Hon. Bolling Hall, this topic among others connected wilh the members and proceedings in Congress, turned up, and Mr. Hall very frankly avowed, that Calhoun was right, and remarked, as Mr. Jefferson hid be fore done “ that Calhoun, would one day, be the greatest man in America.” If the writer of Bibb, knows that Clay entered Congtess in 1036-7, and that Calhoun did not lie come a member till 1811, and that during that inter val the Kentuckian had dcvclloped all the essential articles of American, or Hamiltonian Federal Sys tem, how can he, as an honest man. reconcile to his conscience, the imposilian he has alte iqitod on his friends anil the public ! If he be ignorant of these facts, those about him should be careful to keep pen and ink out of his way, as he seems not aware that he is cx|iosing himself. John C. Calhoun the author of the American System! ! ! Pon honor, that is too ridiculous! ! ! Compared with the attempts to prove that, Dnn Uuixet’s attack on the wind mill, was a rational proceeding. But again, who wrote Bibb! We don’t know the individual, but can guess at Ihe species. From a certain air of smirking nisi priu», consequence the superficial sophistry the pompous array of moon shine authorities the swaggering egotism and self complacency, conspicuous in his article, we rather imagine, he is one of those seven penny attorneys, anxious for notoriety, who lias teen deceived, by the favoritism of a clique, into the folly of believing him self a man of ability and consequence. This we think nearer the truth than the idea, that Bibb’s article, though not odoting of nationality, smelt strongly of Pinc-applc cheese and Bologna sausage. To this, though the person is a political rpponent, we earnest yield our defence. For, notwithstanding, the gentleman was unfortunately addicted to the delivery of prosing, shallow, Fall-rain speeches, emptying the scats add sending the Members of both parties tothe coflec-room, or their lodg ings, with “By Jove, we can t stand this,” and eliciting from the able Whigs, the remark “that man’s side-wipes at Calhoun, resembling the banter ings of a sparrow-hawk, to the American Eagle”— still, we cannot believe the scion of an honorable stock, could descend to the indulgence of such inor dinate conceit, ill-temper, ill-breeding, and a propen sity to discolor and pervert facts, so conspicuous in Bibb's communication. The whole affair was merely a paltry maneuver to make a little paltry capital in this State. Is Mr. Clay in favor of a Protective Tariff t We arc obliged to our friend of the Journal, for its courteous reply to < ur query. Wc wage no personal or private warfare against Mr. Clay or his advocates, and if ever in the heal of political we should make an unjust accusa tion against him, or advance more for our friends than they are justly entitled to, no one shall correct the error with more pleasure than ourselves. The Journal is mistaken, if it supposes that we charge Mr. Clay with being an advocate of the pro tec'ive system, as a matter of accusation; we believe he advocates it as a matter of public policy, that it is •■ne of his great political principle s. We believe that policy to be injurious to the Union, fatal to the South. We are glad that the Journal appreciates properly the importance of this great, this vital ques tion. Wc believe that the Journal and the great majority of the State Rights Whigs of this State are opposed to the protective system on principle, and if they are convinced that Mr. Cl y is now as he boasts of always having been, an aJvocate of the highest possible protective tariff, they will find it a matter of difficulty to themselves to support him. If Mr. Clay has really changed his opinions upon this important subject, and it can be proven, nobody shall give him credit for it more readily than the A mcrican Democrat. But the Journal will readily admit, that after hav ing been liefore the country as the greatest advocate of a high protective tariff, from 1809, down to 1842, and that the proof to lie demonstrative, should be something more than the scrap of a speech that he has fomed us with, we should have the reasons from himself, for this great, this radical change of opinion, in the mind of this brilliant statesman. Weareglad that the Journal is getting tired of the dull and stu pid outcry, of inconsistency, treachery, &c. No man should have such charges made against him unless he charges his political relations for some base or sel fish purpose. Wc are perfectly willing to take both these great competitors for the Presidential chair as they now are. We trust that we shall have little difficulty in pro ving not only that Mr. Clay still advocates the pro tective system, but that it is a cardinal doctrine with the great Whig party of the Union. It is fortunate that Mr. Clay made more than one speech in March, 1842. On the 22d day of March, 22 days after the delivery of the former, Mr. Clay addressed the Senate, and made use of the following language “The Senator (Mr. Calhoun,) was continually charging him (Mr. Clay,) with the design of viola ting the compromise act! When had he swerved from it 1 He was still for adhering to it, aS he un derstood its principles. Those principles he did not consider incompatible with the PROTECTION of American industry, in preference to any other. HE had LIVED, and would DIE an advocate of the Protective system. HE had NEVER CHANGED his principles. They were now the same as they had ever been; but he submitted to the restrictions of the compromise act as a matter of necessity. And he did not even now think it prudent, because not practica ble, to go as far as his inclinations led him with the friends of PROTECTION. But as far as he could go he would, and that was not to lay duties for pro tection alone, but in laying duties lor revenue to s :p --ply the Government with means, to lay them so as to afford incidental protec ion. He would, therefore, say to the friends of protection lay aside all attempts beyond this standard, and look to that which is at tainable and practicable.” Mr. Clay then went on to observe, that “as lie understood the Democratic party, it was wh >lly op|>osed to protection, and went for the doctrine of giving encouragement to foreign industry, in preference to the industry of its own country.” But as we have published a portion of this speech in another column, it is unnecessary to quote farther here. The Journal will allow, we hope, that there is at least some ground for believing that Mr. Clay is an advocate of a high protective tariff. Some proofs that it is not a’false Issue to sny that the great Whig Party of the l r n> ion advocate a Protective Tariff. The Whig Almanack and United States Regis ter, published by Grcely & McElrath, New York, Editors of the Log Cabin, to be sold in every Book store in the United States, is we believo very gen erally considered, as good authority about Mr. Olay, Whigs, and Whig principles. It contains a biogra phy and a handsome wood engraving of this distin guished man. We make some extracts from a fair and candid, and with some slight exception, a cor rect statement of t'le grounds of DIFFERENCE, between the contending parlies. “Two great rival hosts now divida tho American People, and by tbeir struggles for ascendancy agitate and, at intervals, convulse the Nation. Each is prob ably right in many of the principles which it affirms; each is doubtless wrong in some of the acts which it commits oi tolerates, and in the extremes to which its views arc sometimes pushed. Each embodies a share of the wisdom and folly, honesty and knavery, virtue and vice, which chequer human life. Each numbers in its ranks stern and lofty patriots, who have no thought but for their country's good; each has also its self-seeking demagogues, vl-ho regard mainly their own advantage. He who deems his own party all good, and his opponents wrong every way, may be an excellent partizan, but not a very discerning and impartial citizen. Yet, while many faults and many virtues are common to both and to alt patties, there are certainly great leading charac teristics which at this time draw a broad and distinct line of demarkation between them. These charac teristics wc shall here endeavor to exhibit.” He says that one party is known as the Whig De mocratic or Federal Whig party, and the other as the Democratic or Loco Foco party, lie proceeds: “ The question of Protection to Home Industry is the first in importance of those necessarily dividing the two parties, in view of the difference above sta ted. The Whig doctrine affirms that Government ought to protect and cherish the Industry of the Country to the fullest extent, as a matter of legiti mate and n ecssary concern; and that the People have a right to look to it for all the aid within its power. Loco-Focoism, on the other hand, insists that Protection is at once usurpation and folly; that Industry should look out for itself; and that Govern ment neither can nor should do any thing in its be half, in any contingency. There are individuals in the Whig party opposed to the policy of Protec tion, as there are in the Loco-Foco who favor that policy; hut the question no less clearly involves the radical difference between the tv o parties. [For the policy of Protection, sec the longer article express ly on that subject.”] We will ,ow proceed to Make some extracts from the Biography of Mr. Clay, not to make any paltry charge of inconsistency, but to prove that his own friends claim for him the merit of being the chief and consistent advocate of the protective system from 1803 down to the present time. After mentioning that Mr. Clay was elected in ISO 6 and again in 1319, to fill the unexpired terms o* Gen. Adair and Mr. Thurston, the Biographer con tinues : “He took his seat in the winter of 1609; and his first efiort was in behalf of that great measure of Pro tection to American Labor, with which his name has ever siuce been so closely connected.” Wc commence again at the session of 1813 * ’l9 : At this session of Congress Mr. Clay renewed his efforts in favor of Protection to American Industry, — that great cause, the suecc-sof which lie regarded as essential to the completion of our Independence, and to which he had already given an earnest of his devotion in the temporary tariffs that bad previously been established. The principle of Protection had never before been clearly recognized; but Mr. Clay now brought it forward and urged it with all his power.’’ Here follows an epitome of his arguments in favor I of the protective system; I “Again he fought the battle of Protection against powerful nien,]hoth of the North and the South ; hut his cause prevailed, and the whole Nation became convinced of iu truth and inherent justice by the high prosperity which every where followed its es tablishment.” • »• * »*»» * * In the autumn of the year 1831, Mr. Clay was elec ted by the Legislature of Kentucky, Senator of the United States from that State, his opponent being Col. R. M. Johnson, who had distinguished himself somewhat by his .bitter opposition to the Administra tion of Mr. Adams, and his general approval of the principles and policy which had elected President Jackson. The principle of Protection, which Mr. C. bad done so murk to establish, and tinder ihe opera tion of whi chy* whole country was now at the height of its rtay and' industrial prosperity, began to excite the hostility of the Southern section. It was a favorite dogma with Southern statesmen, that the duties levied upon English manufactured cotton stuffs tended seriously to injure the production of that staple of the South. They treated with con tempt the proposed creation of a Home Market for their cotton, and began to regard the American Sys tem, as it was most properly railed, as a blow directly aimed at Southern prosperity.” Thit brings us down to 1833, and the Biographer thus notices Mr. Clay's motives for introducing the Compromise Bill: “AU these considerations presented themselves with terrible force to the mind of Mr. Clay. He saw too, that in the threatened event of t bloody strug gle, final peace could scarcely be hoped without yielding forever ths great principle of Protection, on which, in his visw, was to be b'sed all the national prosperity and happiness for which America could ever hope.” Mr. Clay’s efforts in the session of 1841 & ’43: “An attempt k> esta lish a Tariff, to which Mr. Clay bent his best exertions, was attended with the same success; and it beeiffie evident that John Tyler, cho sen by the Whigs to carry into effect their principles, had deserted their cause and joined himself to their foe. Still every thing was done that could be for the welfare of the country, and for the .relief of the Go vernment from the abyss of insolvency, in which it had for years been gradually sinking. A Loan Bill, Treasury Note Bill and Provisional Tariff were passed to preserve the Treasury from dishonor until full and permanent provision could be made, at the approaching regular session, for the colleniion of adequate Revenue, by a careful and enlightened revision of the Tariff. We subjoin the final vote in the Senate, three days before the adjournment of Congress. Mr. Woodbhidc observed that the bill before the Senate appeared to him to be fully as protective a measure as it did to the nnnd of the. Senator from S. Carolina. But that was no objection to him; on the conirary, it was its greatest recommendation. It went far to reconci’e him tothe sacrifice, which his party had been constrained to make. He hail risen merely to say, wilh regard to the vote he should give, that, as his friends we"l, so ho should go. Tnc question was then taken on ordering the amendment to be engrossed, and the bill read a third time, on which ihe yeas and nays had been called and ordered ; and it was decided in disc affirmative —yeas 24, nays 23, as follows : YEAS—Messrs.

The House refused to excuse him. The question was then taken on laying the bill and tho amendment on the table, when the motion was negatived—yeas 65, yeas 120, as follows : YEAS— Messrs.
