ANECDOTE OF WM. H. CRAWFORD AND HENRY CLAY. Our readers will recollect that the late Wm. El. Crawford visited France in the year 1913, as Minis ter Plenipotentiary from the United States, and was accompanied on that mission by that highly talented and accomplished scholar and most amiatde man, the late Doctor Henry Jackson, as Secretary of Lega tion. R was Crawford's cwtom, while in Paris, to have a soiree, or evening party, at his hotel every Thursday. These parties were generally made up of the statesmen and savans of that great capital, such men as Talleyrand, Carnot, and the Guizots and ile ToqueviMee of tlwt jreriod. Tire Americans were of course invited guests—Alt. Clay, while in ParU rcoularly attended. On those occasions, much of the conversation related to the principles of oar constitu tion and govern merit—those wore freely and earnestly discussed and as several of the French gentlemen sjaike English,there was no impediment to intcrcom muniealio*. Air. Clay, who talks admirably, spoke on every topic. Mr. Crawford, who, as his friends will remember, was in his better days, more prone to be be a listener than a talker, seldom took part in these discussions, till repeatedly pressed to do so, as an um pire, when the parties could not agree. Mr.Craw ford would recapitulate succinctly, but with minute precision, the drift of a long discussion, shew the weak [points in their line of argument, and applying the principle which controlled the question, produced unhesitating conviction in the mind of every one present, Henry Clay excepted, who would continue the debate with great annimatlon, till the whole com pany decided against him. He would then rise con siderably excited, stride a’lout the saloon, look at bis waistband and exclaim, “Well, Crawford, in spite of all you have said, 1 ’ll be d —, but I’m still of my men opinion.” We received the preceding, from a gentleman of Jjj.rli honor and unquestionable veracity, who had ken present on all those occasions. On asking his opinion respecting Clay’s views of Air. Crawford s prospects of the Presidency. He replied, “they are decidedly adyerse—there is not a man in the country «f whom Mr. Clay is more jealous, or more wishes out of his own way, than Wm. H. Crawford.” TWO ODD FELLOWS. The following odd incident occurred many years ago to a reverend gentleman, long and extensively known in the Southeastern section of this Stale, and greatly esteemed for his Piety, Learning and Benev olence : Mr. M. (for by that name wc shall distinguish him) returning home from the performance of pasto ral duty, was met by a respectable looking traveller, who, after a civil salutation, requested a moment’s conversation with him, commencing thus— Traveller: “Stranger, please remove your hat.” Mr. M : “ Well, sir, Vis done.” Travel! r: (to himself) “ Yes, yes, it’s all right— this is the very man Well, stranger, I have long had in my possession, a piece of projterty which now, rightfully belongs to you.” Mr. M: “ That’s an impossibility my friend.” “ None in the world,” replied the traveller, “here it is”—handing over a handsome, large-sized pocket knife, continued, “ 1 received that on condition 1 should wear it till I met a man ‘ no touch’ uglier than myself. Now, sir, look at me, (at the same time re moving his hat, and presenting a phiz, that might have start and a nag from his fodder) you see 1 m no beauty—but 1 wish you joy. Os the knife, sir, it is rightfully yours, and by jingo, I don’t think you II ever have a chance of parting with it. Good morn ing sir.” We have heard the good old gentleman narrate this instance of cool, humorous impudence, with great glee and good humor. It is almost needless to add, the traveller was a Western horse-drover. Nature, in the formation of the reverend person alluded to, seems, as in other instances, to have shewn maternal solicitude, and a carelessness quite as ex traordinary—having ei|tcndcd much of her [tarltality ■ on his heart and intellect, her most precious gems, she • ppeared wonderfully indifferent how rough the case might be, prepared for their preservation. 1 or, though bis countenance expressed both kindness and intelligence, still by strangers he was considered ex ceeding homely. ANOTHER LETTER from MR. CALHOUN' We desire to call the attention of our readers to Mr. Calhoun’s manly and patriotic letter, in rpply to his friends in Hamilton County, Ohio. It is hazard ing but little to say that it must win golden opinions from unprejudiced men of all parties. His reasons arc so conclusive, so candid and so liberal to those who think differently, that we think that none hut those who arc irrecoverably prejudiced can be other wise than gratified. LETTER OF THE LATE WM. H. CRAW FORD TO MR. DICKERSON OF N. J. Our readers will recollect, that a short time back, wc had occasion to correct a very gross misrepresent ation of a well known fact. We found it stated in one of the Federal oracles that Mr. Crawford, had been to the time of his death, favorable to a United States Bank. We nailed the rap to the counter, by a reference to his letter above noted. By, the way. if our recollection does not deceive us, that letter injty be found in the columns of the very print in which the dead patriot is slandered. — While the imposition remained unexposed, Mr. Craw ford's authority was infallible, the highest evidence, that could bed. sired in favor of the Federal Idol, the monster bank. Now, reader, mark the pitiful subterfuge resorted to, to pvati§ the discredit of detected imposture. The letter to Dickerson, eh ! oh, that’s nothing—Mr. C.’s mind was impaired, prostrate w hen he wrote it. A foolei piece of impudence than this evasion affords We never Witnessed. Were it not for its mcannes, end impotence, it would be worth laughing at. The The letter itself, refutes the libel—the fact, that not one of Judge CrawforJ’s decisions, during the many years be presided in the Superior Courts, after his return to Georgia, was, as we recollect, reversed, re futes the libel. But, Air. Imp, hand us another nail, here’s another most |>alpahte counterfeit, wilfully ut tered and feloniously palmed upon the good peo|>le of Georgia, against the peace, law, and good order of this Commonwealth, viz: “ The true issue between Messrs. Clay aud Calhoun is not Protection, or No Protection, hut that Calhoun’s plau, is to defray the expenses of Government by a tax levied Directly on the people, while Mr. Clay’s is to raise the necessary revenue by a tariff so moderate and reasonable, that the Iblks wont know they are paying any thing, and 'lie whole process will be so pleasant in its operation, the jieople will feel as if they were tickled. The absence of a shadow of proof to sustain this state ment, and the recently published letter of Mr. Cal houn repudiating the calumny, brands it as a most shameless and wilful tabricalion. What Mr. Clay—good, easy, ..rtlcss man —means by a reasonable, moderate Protective Tariff, may be guessed at, by the Tariff, under whose crushing and remorseless injustice, the country r.ow groans, and against which twenty sovereign States have already pronounced their anathema. Yet, it may fairly be called the Clay Tariff, for it wag concocted under his own supervision, and by his own understrap|>ers. But it would be endless to notice all the beauties of the articles a few of which we have imperfectly illus trated. We hope someone more patient than ourselves of partisan chicanery, will siftit thoroughly, and while his hand is in, furnish some illustrations of that fine sjiccimen of what is-classically called ‘rigmarole,’ of the nisi pritis quibbling, the scrupulous avoidance of those troublesome accessories, truth and fact, of the admirable fineness and mystification, which so richly embellish the address of the late Whig Convention to the people of Georgia. HOW GOES THE BATTLE! In INDIANA we have either eight or nine of ten Congressmen. In the last Congress, the Whigs had six, and the Democrats only one. Both branch es of tho Legislature largely Democratic. In 1840, the Whigs had Fifteen Thousand majority. in ILLINOIS we have five out of the seven members to Congress The W T higs have suffered a Waterloo defeat. One of the Democratic member to Congress is 7 feet 2 inches high. In KENTUCKY we have five out of the ten members to Congress, and it is said that the aggre gate Democratic majority is greater than the aggre gate Clay majority. In 1840, Kentucky gave Gen. Harrison Twentv-Five Thousand majority. in TENNESSEE we have six out of eleven members to Congress, though Polk is beaten by 4000 votes, and the Whigs have a majority in the Legis lature. In NORTH CAROLINA we have five out of the nine members to Congress. In ALABAMA we have all the Congressmen but one, and he was elected by a majority of one hund red and Iwenty-foltr, in a district that gave the Whigs Twentv-Five Hundred, in 1810. Upon hearing of these victories, Harry of the West no doubt exclaimed, and well might, ‘A few more sueli GLORIOUS WHIG VICTORIES, and I am undone.’ From the Alacnn Georgia Telegraph, 29th inst. 8188 DEMOCRATIC MEETING. Macon, Aug. 26, 1843. About two hundred of the Democratic Party of Bibb County, met at the Court House, according (o previous notice, for ihe purpose of nominating candidates for the Legislature. The Meeting was or ganized by calling Luke Ross, Esq. to the Chair, and C. A. Ells, to act as Sec retary. Maj. James Smith then rose and stated the object of the meeting, and pro posed that every person might submit his favorite candidate, atid then the party should proceed to ballot, for the requisite number out of them, to represent our county in the next Legislature—a major ity of the whole being necessary to a choice—which was carried in the affirm ative. Col. A. P. Powers’ name was then sub mitted to the meeting, as a candidate for the Senate, and he was elected without opposition. About twenty names were then sub mitted lo the meeting for representatives; and on counting out the ballots of the first election, it was found that S'ephen Woodward and Samuel J. Ray, had re ceived a majority of the whole, and were declared duly elected. They then pro ceeded to a second election, which result ed in favor of W. F. Clark. On motion of C. E. Blake, Esq. A committee of five was then appoint ed, to inform the nominees of their nomi nation, and to ascertain their willingness or unwillingness to accept the same, viz: Peter Solomon, Frederick Sims, Wm. H. Reynolds, John Baily, T. M. Furlow. The meeting then adjourned. LUKE ROSS, Chairman. C. A. Ells, Sec’y [We understand Col. Powers, Maj. Woodward, and Wm. F. Clark, Esq., will conform to the wishes of the Con vention, and suffer their names to be run. Owing to private arrangements, we re gret to learn Mr. Ray cannot consent to be a candidate. The committee appoint ed, will fill the vacancy in a few days.] MR. CALHOUN-DIRECT TAXATION. We take pleasure in transferring to our columns from that sterling Democratic print the New Orleans Jeffersonian, the following remarks, accompanied by Mr. Calhoun’s letter upon the subject of direct tax ation. It is to be hoped that this complete refutation of a State calumny, will satisfy all candid men. We take this op|>ortuiiity of returning our thanks to our able c.(temporary, the Jellersonian, for the liberal ami courteous manner in which it extended to us the right hand of fellowship, and greeted our appearam e upon the stage of political action, and rendering our humble tribute of praise to the vigorous and power ful manner in which it advocates Democratic prin ciples, among the most brilliant and spirited editorial corps in the Union, that of New Orleans. MR. CALHOUN’S OPINION. The opinion of Mr. Calhoun in rela tion to the subject of free trade , altho’ so often and so clearly expressed by him in his public speeches, has been unfairly and untruly set forjh by the whiff press. The Georgia journals, in particular, have I een filed with declarations that Mr. Cal houn is in fitvor of the abolition of the entire system of duties on imports, and a resort to direct taxalion for the support of the government. As individuals, we believe direct taxation to be the most eco nomical and democratic method of raising money to defray the expenses of the ad ministration of government. As jour nalists, our duty is to see that the opin ions of all public men are correctly pre sented to the people. Mr. Calhoun’s judgment cannot be held in higher esti mate by any man than by ourselves.— Aside from his acknowledged superiority of intellect, the great experience which he has had in all matters of government, justly attaches to any opinion of his a de gree of weight and importance in the minds of his countrymen, that few men, since the commencement of time, have been aLle to command. Mr. Calhoun has always been of the opinion that duties on imports, and the proceeds of the sales of public lands, were the legitimate sources of revenue. He has ever believed that a resort to internal taxation for the support of the national government, under our mixed relations and separate sovereignties, would be un wise, if not totally impracticable. He has now reiterated this opinion, and in such force that must forever silence the press of our opponents so long as it continues to be 'conducted by honorable and up right men. We make the following extract from a letter, written by Mr. Calhoun, in reply to one addressed to him from Clinton, La., dated June 14, 1843. In the letter to Mr. Calhoun, the writer states that he under stood Mr. C. to mean by free trade, low duties ; no debt ; seperation from banks," tkc. &c., to be a reduction of Ihe fiscal transactions of the government to a con stitutional and simple economical system, and to incur no debt by unnecessary ex penditures, or by assumptions, funding systems, schemes of internal improve ment, or other appropriations unwarran ted by the constitution; but to bring back the government to the essential and natural object of its creation ; a simple agency of the people of the several States confined in its aelion to certain defined powers, and for certain specified purpo ses, and not to he converted into a great patron of corporate bodies, sectional, or separate interests and monopolies, &c. Fort Hill, July 6, 1843. Dear Sir—l was absent from home when your letter arrived, which will ex plain why it has not been acknowledged at an earlier period. You are rifflit in the opinion which you attribute to me on the subject of free trade, so far from desiring or aiming at substituting a system of direct* or inter nal taxes for duties on imposts, as the means of supporting the government,my object has been the reverse, as 1 have of ten expressed in debate. One of the ob jections I have urged against high pro tective duties is, that it would hasten the period when a resort to a system of in ternal taxiition would become necessary. I am and always have been of the opin ion, that the duties on imposts and the proceeds of the sales of the public land, are the legitimate sources of the revenue of the Union, and that it will prove a se vere trial to the federal government whenever it shall be forced to resort to internal taxes to tnaet its ordinary expen ditures; li der this impression, as well as for other powerful reasons* I have stead ily opposed all schemes of alienating the revenue from the lands, or that were cal culated to impair the source of revenue from the imposts. With great respect, I am, &c., tfcc., J. C. ( ALHOUN. To Howard Delony. Clinton, La. Gov. Cass appears to be growing in favor with the Democrats of the West. The following paragraphs relative to a great mass meeting, to be heid in Ohio, we copy from the Norfolk Beacon : A mass meeting is to lie held at Co lumbus for the purpose of appointing delegates to a State Convention of the friends of Gen. Cass. Many leading Democrats of that State have signed their names to a circular, of which the follow ing is an extract: “ But is it the part of wisdom to risk all the great and fundamental principles of the "Democratic party, upon the for tunes of an individual, whose success in the event of his nomination, would he extremely problematical ? Mr. Van Bn reu has never yet obtained the vote of Ohio for the Presidency ; and it is firmly Itclieved by our most sagacious pol iticiatis, that he cannot, in any contingency, stic ceed either in this State or Pennsylvania. In Indiana his prospects are still worse. A reference to the foimer votes of these States, combined with the present indica tions, places this beyond doubt. ’ Mr. Van Buren’s chauce looks small, even in Ohio. From the Cassville Pioneer. MR. STEPHENS. East week we had space only for the remark, in substance, that Mr. Stephens, the whig candidate for Congress, h<id ap peared among us, and had made in a pub lic address, tin artful effort to win votes for himself an 1 Mr. Clay. In this effort he did not confine himself to the merits of a United States Bank and protective tariff, nor to the merits of Mr. Clay or Mr. Stephens, but relied principally upon our veneration for Gen. Washington, as the channel through which he hoped to worm himself into our affections. He did not contend in terms, that he was Gen. Washirtgto himself, in flesh and blood, identica 1 se ijtse Gen. Washing ton, because tb nost iffnorant among us knew that Ge. Washington was dead; but from signs that appeared, especially among the little boys, it was evident that his ingenuity brouffht a few to believe that he was Gen. Washington in charac ter and spirit, and perhaps a few may vote for him on this account. He declared himself in favor of a United Slates Bank, and clearly showed that he was General Washington in this respect, for he proved by the record, that Gen. Washington had signed a Bank charter. But if he had only been artless enough to have gone one step further, and proved by the re cord, as he could have done, that Gener al Washington signed that charter before the adoption of the amendments to the constitution, and that from the nature of these amendments, General Washington would now be, if living, the last man in all probability, who would siffn such a charter; the comparison between himself and the father of his country would have been at an end, and he would have re sembled General Washington less than a red cent resembles gold coin. After making political cupitnl of the name of Washington, as others have done before him, Mr. Stephens proceeded to the next step in the plan of his address, which was to make the same use of the I name of Democrat. This, he supposed would entitle him to our votes, of course, and also to the privilege of turning out of the party whomsoever he pleased. At I this crisis in our affairs* to destroy Major Cooper, would he to destroy the demo cratic party* and knowing this* Mr. Ste- . phens in his assumed character of demo- j | crat, levelled his sarcasm against Major | Cooper and all the old State "Rights men j of our party, who having had the sagac i ily and firmness to stand tip against bank and tariff amidst the stratagems of 1840, are now an eyesore to the whigs. But the democrats’ have “cut their eye-teeth,” and will never permit the enemy to di vide and conquer them by attempts to ex cite prejudice, and to sow the seeds ot dis cord and strife among them. We know Maj. Cooper—he was true to correct prin ciples on the plains of Florida—he was true to correct principles in the halls of congress—he was firm and erect amidst the coon-skin storm of 1840, and so he will be, when he is the Governor of Geor giai The expedient next in order, in the course of Mr. Stephen,s address, was the attempt to win ns over by operating oti our risible faculties, and to this end he brought up the comical case of the old negro man London, and the angel of death—it was chock full of capital fun, and had an electric effect for a moment, j especially among the little boys, but it failed to convince a single grown man that it wOuid be safe to cast his vote for blue-light federalists under the stolen name of whigs. To the same end, and with the additional view of tickling us into love with the tariff, he related the incident of the countryman’s mistaking a rail road locomotive for the tariff; this was a thrilling inci ent, well timed and well told, but its effect was a momentary —it soon died away, and left all the dem ocrats' as it found them ( ooper men, Stark men* Anti-Bank men, Anti-T.aritl men, Anti-Clay men, and Anti-Stephens men.—( 'ooper is the watchword in Lass* , Mr. Stephens. Columbus. — It is stated in a late French paper, that Columbus was not born in Genoa, as is generally believed. An old prefect of Corsica, in looking over State papers recently, found in the regis ter of Calvi* the act'of birth of this illus trious navigator. Columbus therefore is a countryman of Napoleon.
