prints—charging that Gov. I’oik’sgrand father, lliu late Col. Ezekiel Polk of N. Carolina, was a tory in the revolution.— A baser libel on a deceased patriot uever issued from a licentious press. Howev er the fact might have been, no charitable or honorable man would believe for a moment that the fctoral or political stan ding of Gov. Polk ought to be affected by it. But the charge, in every possible sense, is a vile fabrication. The writer of this paragraph has seen full, clear, con clusive, and demonstrative proof of the high, honorable, and manly course pur sued by Col. Ezekiel Polk, as a citizen of North Carolina, before and during the revolutionary struggle for independence, showing that he was a true whig of 1776, and gallantly bore arms as such by the side of his kinsmen of the same family name, and his noble whig fellow-citizens. How unlike are the characteristics of the vvhigs of 1775 and 1776 and of IS4O and 1814 ! It is thought proper that it shonld be star and here, that at an early day—under ' - ■ authority of distinguished citizens of \ ih Carolina, (Govetior Polk’s native State,) who have taken the matter in hand is tieing due to their State and the hon orable name of Polk, and in vindication ff a deceased patriot of the revolution— 1 a full and perfect refutation of this slan der will lie given to the world from proofs lerciofore taken, and now being collected -a great portion of them procured from permanent State records, and highly •redibie living men. The writer of those remarks speaks of these things as perfect ly certain, and within his personal know ledge and information, as to the existence of the proofs, and the intended course of Gov. Polk’s friends in his native State.— That the refutation will put the propaga tors of the slander to open shame, vindi cate the reputation ofthe dead, and bring new honors to the living, are facts upon which all Gov. Polk’s friends may repose with perfect confidence. To say more .ii this place, would be forestalling the praiseworthy labors of the honorable and distinguished citizens who have the mat ter now in hand else where, and whose work, when done, will be ample, perfect, and thorough. The Nashville whig papers, with all their rancor towards Governor Polk, have not dared to propagate or republish this iibel. They dare not now do it, or even insinuate that it is true. From the Southern Banner. Dowling recn Aroused ! OGLE THORPE WAKISG CPU! According to previous short notice, a lurge meeting of Democrats and Clay men assembled at Uoicling Greene, in Oglethorpe county, on Saturday, the 13ih of July. The meeting was organ ized by ap; ointing Wm. Jewell, Presi dent, and David Dunn,and Wm. Pittard, Vice Presidents, with John D. Milnor and Eusi! Pace as Secretaries. The ob ject of the meeting was then explained by Vi. McKinley, to be the appo/ntnient o delegates to the Democratic conven t iat Eaton ton, to nominate cp <c!idates f Congress, and for Preside!. .al Elect or. m the seventh district. .Motion was made by F. Phinizy, for a committee of seven to repoit the names ol eight delegates to the convention - 4 to vote for a Congressional and 4 for the electoral candidate ; and the chair ap pointed the following gentlemen as that committee, viz: F. Phinizy, John D. Mil nor, Giles Young, Capt. Bledsoe, J. G. Milnor, Patrick Stevens, and Henry 11. Lumpkin, who having retired and con sidered the matter, reported to the meet ing the following delegates, viz: David C. Barrow, William McKinley, James E. Smith and Jacob Phinizy, jr. for the first object; Jonathan Bell, Esq. Daniel John son, Esq. Matthew J. Coxe, Esq. and Jo el Hurt, Esq. for the ‘2d object—which report was unanimously adopted. On motion of David C. Barrow, the delegates were authorized to fill vacan cies in their number, if any should occur. Thomas J. Brittain then moved for a re mnitlee to report resolutions of a gen ; a nature, expressive of the sense of the • ting; whereupon Thos. J. Brittain •id F. Piniiizy were appointed for that purpose. After retiring, the committee ] ported the following; resolutions, viz: Ist. Resolved, That all the hopes and ,ust expectations of the cotton country, ibunded on the Compromise bill of 1833, have been blasted and disappointed by the wicked and unfair tariff or tax law of 1842; and that the vote of A. 11. Ste phens, Esq. lately given in Congress in support of the tariff, is a gross misrepre sentation ot his constituents. 2d. Resolved, That Georgia believes now as she always has believed, that a tariff law, like that of 1842, which taxes me part of the people to make another ;>art rich or prosperous, is unfair, unjust, vrannical and unconstitutional. 3d. Resolved, That the feelings and interests of Georgia, as to the tariff, are ruly expressed iu the former resolutions of our Legislature, and in the celebrated Protest o#*lß2S, against a protective tar iff, presented to the United States’ Senate by Judge Berrien for the State of Geor gia, and there recorded among the Sen ate’s archives, as solemn and everlasting evidence of our people’s hatred to the tariff. 4th. Resolved, That the people of Georgia have twice voted against Mr. lay since 1823, because he was for a protective tariff; but they have been late ly cheated into his support by the repre s ntation of the leaders, that he was not in favor of such a tariff now; and being n>»w drilled into his ranks, they are sud denly undeceived, and it is attempted to b ■ proved to them, that a tariff for protec i n, Mich as that of 1842, which was de nounced by the whig representatives of Georgia, and which takes from the plant er cue-third of the produce of his labor, s .*>• >eh a tariff as they ought to sup/> »rt. ;» h. Resolved, That the Hon. Absa iotn if. Chappell, who was last year call ed by the Clay party, “one of their purest ( men,” and who, from an honest convic-1 tion that that party was pursuing a | course hurtful to the South, has lately quit said party while it was in power, and while it was ready and anxious to give him office, has entitled himself to the lasting gratitude, and the |pud and lasting praise? of every friend of the South. Indeed , is he a 44 pure man ,” for none other would give up office to stand by his country. 6th. Resolved, That when such men as Absalom H. Chappell, George R. Gil mer, Marshall J. Wellborn, Julius C. Al ford, Cos!. John Howard, Col. A. Janes, Col. Pulaski Holt, Col. Junius Wingfield, Dr. Branham and Gov. Troup (not to j mention a multitude of others)refuse to go j with a party that is in power, the people should suspect there must be some good reason for it, and that the policy of that j party is unfriendly to the welfare off Georgia. After the reading of these resolutions, a public invitation was given to Clay party present, to join in a free and fair debate upon them, to be conducted by : Thos. J. Brittain for the Democrats, and by any gentleman whom the daymen : might choose on their side. The day men, however, declined to .enter the de-, bate. After some remarks in support of them, the resolutions were unanimously and warmly adopted. During the dis- j cussion of the resolutions, reference was I made to the noble resolutions and procee j dings against a protective tariff adopted j by the Bowling Green people in the j same house 16 years ago, at a public meeting, in which Peachy R. Gilmer was chairman, and Hay T. Landrum was Secretary. The mention of the Old ; Bowling Green Resolution, seemed to have a fine effect; and the people seem ed glad to speak out now with the same voice they used on this subject in years gone by. It was evidently a pleasant re collection—even the gentlemen of the Clay party, who were present, could but be gratified at the production of this no ble and honorable piece ot Bowling Green district history. Many had for gotten it, but all seemed delighted to have the fact revived. Let the Ciay party in Georgia remember it, Bowling Green district is not going in 1844 to swallow, or take back, the words of truth and so berness which she used in 1828. After adopting the foregoing resolu tions, Thomas J. Brittain moved for a committee to offer a resolution relative to Texas; whereupon the chair appointed Thomas J. Brittain. John R. Young and David C. Barrow that committee, who after consultation reported the following: Ist. Resolved, That Texas, once ours, but ceded away by the treachery of John Quincy Adams, its re-annexation to the Union is of indispensable and vital im portance to the South. 2d. Resolved, That we will support no man for President who is so forgeitul of the South os to oppose the immediate annexation of Texas. These resolutions were then warmly and eloquently advocated by Thomas J. Brittain, John K. Young, James E. Smith, Paschal Smith, and Geo. Lump kin, jr. This debate was exceedingly interesting. While the old hacknied politicians and professional office-hunters of Georgia, formerly nullifiers, now tar iff men, are disgracing the history of their section of the Union by turning somer sets on (lie tariff and by opposing Texas, here are a host ot young men, right from the plough, with clear heads and noble hearts, bursting through party shackles, and vindicating manfully and eloquently the rights of the country. The work is now in the right hands—the people in the country are moving in their sove reignty at.d dignity. Truly, these are the people’s own orators, and in their hands we are glad to leave the advocacy of Texas and Southern rights. Mr. Bell was loudly called for by the meeting, who were anxious to hear him, but he declined speaking. Wm. Smith and Thomas Hawkins, of the opposite side, being present, were cordially pressed by the meeting to speak, but they also de clined. Capt. Bledsoe closed the debates by humorously advising the people to “trea sure up, in honest hearts what they had heard, lest by any means they should let them slip, and thereby lose their salva tion.” “Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the South ern Banner and all other Democratic pa pers. On motion of Jacob Phinizy, jr. and D. C. Barrow, the meeting then adjourn ed to meet again at the same place on Saturday, 27th July, to receive the re port o.f delegutes to the Convention, and for a free discussion ; and with three cheers for POLK, DALLAS, and TEX AS, the crowd dispersed. WM. JEWELL, President. John D. Milnor, ) St| Eusil Pace, \ Secretaries. [llE-PUBCISHED BY REQUEST.] From the Constitutionalist of July *2B, 184*2 Mr. Editor:—lt is amusing to one, who has any knowledge of political history forS or 10 years past, to listen to the pol iticians of the day denying the creed of their party in times past. I often imag ine how you “ laugh ill your sleeve” as the daily evidences of their inconsistency are presented to your notice. I wish you would begin to exhibit these contrarient views, as a check upon their career.— The leaders will be afraid to encounter the ghosts of their former opinions, for some of them have the most hideous as pects. I need not tel! you, and 1 should think it were perfectly unnecessary to re mind any body, how the mass of what is now called the whig party in Georgia, but a few years ago, denounced Henry Clay, their present idol, as the greatest rascal in these United States, and were ready to blow this Union to pieces on account of certain policy, which he cherishes now with the same devotion he did at former periods ofhis political career. A Bank of the United States was one of those meas ures they denounced as “ grossly uncon stitutional,” which now has not only changed its character in that regard, but has become with them the great remedy for the multiplied evils of the day. It is no longer the “ Monster” that would crush beneath its mighty tread the liber ties of the country. A “ Protective Ta riff” is another of Henry Clay’s iu< asures, so horribly weighing down all southern energies, that Nullification was invoked as the only Hercules that could lift the gigantic pressure from our necks.— j Southern and State conventions, nil sorts of political contrivances, even disunion itself, were'snggested. Conventions met, legislatures resolved, partie raged, Heav en invoked as the avenger of injustice, with all the mighty energies that swell a nation’s heart at the cry of oppression— all, to terminate a tyranny that ground us to the dust! Now, that “ protective policy” conies to their imagination, clo thed as an angel oflight, the saviour of our country’s redemption ! The whig party have nominated Henry Clay as their candidate for President and do not even allow us to infer, that they of course adopt the principles and policy, with which his name is every where identified —they freely ..vow aim miblushiiigiy i adopt them. 1 will not refer to the great lever, which was to remove this accumu lation of evils, farther than to say, that nullification and the “ protective policy were the great antagonists of tin day, and marshalled each its host of deadly foes, in whose bosoms I rimed as bioody hostility as ever hurled the fir ry crusa der against the Saracen imuiiers of the Holy I and. No epithet no disparage ment was too strong against the Americ an System and its truly great champion, Henry Clay. Even Mr. Wilde, in an sweringa dinner invitation, must vent some of the enmity, which was general in every bosom : “ I think” said he, “ the compromise is better than civil war, though (’lav made it.” 'l’he toasts and resolutions of the public meetings in Georgia in 1821, 1832. &o, would form a strange piece ol history for the present day. Will you favor us with some of them ? On the 4th of July, 1831. in a neigh boring county, the President of the day, then a senator, gave : “ The true Amer ican System : Let every man pursue the road to wealth honestly in his own way, without the interference of government.” On the same occasion, another gave, “ Troup, Gilmer, and State Rights— men and measures we delight to honor. May they live to see the American Sys tem buried in its mother earth, Clay.” Another : “ Henry Clay, the oppres>or of the south May the people of ihe l nited States never call him from his present re tirement.” Mr. Berrien, believed to lie the author of the Address lo the Free Trade 1 ’onven lion, in 1831, to the People of the United States, thus spoke of a Protective Tariff: “ A numerous and respectable portion of the American people do not merely complain, that this system is unjust, but they question the right to establish it.— They do not doubt -they utterly deny— the constitutional power of « ongress to enact it.” Again : “Di tinguished as the system is by every characteristic winch may define a tyranny the most odious, why should we, who are its vic | lims, not stand on our chartered rights V You remember Clayton’s and !»• rnen s Convention in 1832. Its object was to follow Sou'll Carolina in her violent op position to Mr. * lay’s protective policy. The county meeting*-, preparatory to that convention, are rich in proofs oi die in consistency of the same mass of politi i eiaus : Morgan county declared that “ no ' modification m the amount of our taxes, jso long as the protective principle i ad hered 10, w ill reconcile us to the system.” And Burke county, whose citizens Judge Berrien addressed at the time, declared the Tariff laws, so far as “ they were de signed for the protection of manufactures, to he unjust, oppressive and unconstitu tional.” In his letter to the Richmond Com mittee, in 1832, Col Gamble, one of our present representatives in Congress, pro nounced the protective policy “ oppres | sive, unequal in its operation, and uncon jsttutional in its effects, and, therefore, should not be binding, should lie resi-t --ed, dec.” Yet, if his speeches are correct : ly reported, helms within the'rnonth,ad j vocated ibis same policy so strongly as to bring down upon him the rebuke, ot some of his colleagues. Mr. Wilde, in his letter on the same occasion says: <; lt is impossible for me to defend, palliate or deny the evils of a protective tariff.” Is the late addiess ot the Whig Convention in Georgia the de monstration of this proposition ? Col. Foster too, on the same occasion, said : “ That the tariff system is unequal, unjust, unconstitutional, and extremely oppressive upon the southern states, 1 have no doubt.” In this county, the meeting at Spring Hill was composed of the present wliigs, and the resolutions were drawn up by George W. Crawford, Esq Here are two of them: “ Resolved, That we hold the tariff acts of 1832, and those ot 1828 and 1824 and 1810, so far forth as they act, or have acted to protect and encourage private industry, as unconstitutional—that it is not within the constitutional competence of Congress to regulate private labor and to grant bounties and privileges to partic ular interests.” “ Resolved, That-we consider the fur ther action oi the state legislature, against the “ Protective System”—either by jx tition, remonstrance or protest—would be nugatory, humiliating and unbecom ing a free people.” 1 have referred to the Clayton and Ber rien convention of 1832. The 7th and oth resolutions sav : “ 7th. That the act, laying duties on imports, passed in July, 1832, as well as the several acts of which that act is a mendatory in so far as it transcends the revenue, and is intended to operate, and does operate for the protection of manu factures, is an excercise of power not on ly not granted by the constitution, but a plain and palpable violation of the true intent, meaning, and spirit thereof,” &c. “ 9th. That the people of Georgia can not submit to the permanent protection of domestic manufactures, by duties im posed for that purpose on the importa tion of foreign manufactures,” &e. Your readers are perfectly able to ap ply these quotations, and I shall trespass no longer on their patience. MONITOR. Law amt Order Party. Mr. Clay, in his “great speech” at Ra leigh, assumes for the whig party a pre eminent devotion to law and order.— 'Hie Baltimore Republican tests the cor rectness of this pretension, by briefly re- j capitulating some facts on record. In the Tippecanoe campaign they desecra ted the Lord’s day by violent party ha rangues ; declaring, through Webster, | there “were no Sabbaths in Revolutiona ry times.” They endeavored to organ ise an armed body ol men to march !o Washington to drive 4 (»!d Hickory” Iron’ the Presidential chair, and M>me of them me* in that city, at Scottt’s long-room, for that purpose. They tried to get up a ten cent revolution m New York and Boston, 1 because President Van Buren would not, in defiance ot law, receive for postage the notes of non-specie-paying banks.— In Pennsylvania they resolved to “treat the election for Governor as if it had not occurred,” and at the point ofthe bayo net attempted traitorously to maintain Ritner in the Executive chair, when Por ter had received a large majority ofthe votes of the people. In New Jersey, violating all legal authority, Governor Pennington outrageously defied the voice ofthe people in the election for Congress men, and with usurpation and infamy unparalleled in this country, gave to the minority candidates certificates of elec tion, with the “broad seal” of the state at tached therelo, to cover as broad a fraud. as ever disgraced any nation. At a dinner in Nashville, in August, 1810, during the convention, Mr. Crit tenden, the bosom friend of Mr. Clay, gave as a toast: “ The ballot-box and the cartridge-box.” Mr. Preston, of South Carolina, another devoted adherent ol Mr. Clay, during the same campaign, said : 44 If Mr. Van Buren cannot lie dis -4 placed ill rough the baiiot-box in No -4 vember next, I, for one, am ready to re -4 sort to such moans as God and nature 4 have put w ithin my reach to force 4 a change.” This treasonable declara tion was received with shouts ofapplause by the whigs of Richmond, before whom it was delivered. Mr Graves, who butchered Uilley, used the following lan guage during the same campaign : “If 4 it were not for the hope of redress, the 4 hope of a change through the ballot -4 box, I would here, so help me god! ‘upon this holy altar! take an 4 oath this night to take up arms, and 4 march with you to W ashington and '•put down the present dynasty by 4 force.” John Bell, Mr. Clay’s prime minister in Tennessee, exhibited his deep devo tion to law and order, in the following sentiment : “ The appeal is now to rea -4 son. No feelings, but those of patrio -4 tism, love of justice, and equal rights, 4 need to be invoked as yet ; though the ‘day may cotne, when a sense of injuiy 4 and oppression—of indignation for a ‘country’s institutions dishonored and 4 overthrown, may call forth deeper pas -4 sums and awake different energies.— 4 That time, I hope, may not come, but if 4 itshould, / shall be rc dy to do my du -4 ty then as well as now.” Ia addition to the sayings and doings of these lesser lights, reterence might he made to some striking passages in the career of the “Great Embodiment” him self, strangely at variance with his as sumption for his party of being the pe culiar friends of law and order, but, as these might be considered rather person al, we forbear. Democratic National Conven'ion The following resolutions were unani mously adopted by the Democratic No tional Convention, which assembled at Baltimore, May 27, 1844. RES. LUTIOXS. Resolved, That the American demo- i cracy place their trust not in factitious j symbols, not in displays and appeals in- • suiting tortile judgment and subversive of the intell ct of the people, but in i a clear reliance upon the intelligence,! the patriotism, and the discriminating justice of the American masses. Resolved, That we regard this as a distinctive feature of our political creed, which we are proud to maintain before the world as the great moral element in a form of government, springing -from and upheld by the popular will; and we contrast it with the creod and practice of federalism, under whatever name or form which seeks to pa sy the will of the con stituent, and which conceives no impos ture too monstrous for the popular cre dulity. Resolved, therefore, That, entertaining these views, the democratic party of this Union, through their delegates assem bled in a general convention of the states coming together in a spirit of concord, of devotion to the doctrines and faith of a free representative government, and ap pealing to their le low-citizens for the rectitude of their intentions, renew and re-assert before the American people, the declaration ol principles avowed b. them when, on a former occasion, in general convention, they presented their candi dates, for the popular suffrages : x. That the federal government is one 1 of limited powers, derived solely from the constitution, and the granjsof power 1 shown therein, ought to be strictly con strued by all the departments and agents otMlie government, and that it is inexpe dient and dangerous to doubt ful constitutional powers. 2. That the constitution does not con fer upon the general government the pow er to commence and carry on a gew e al system of internal improvements. 3. That the constitution does not con fer authority upon the' federal govern ment, directly or indirectly, to assume the debts of the several states, contracted for local internal improvements, or other state purposes ; nor would such assump tion be just and expedient. 4. That justice and sound policy for bid the federal government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of another portion of our common country ; that' every citi zen and every section of the country has a right to demand and to insist upon'an equality of rights and privileges, and to complete an ample protection of persons., and property from domestic violence or. foreign aggression. 5. That it is the duty of every branch of (he government to inforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting onr public affairs, and that no more rev enue ought to be raised than is required u> defray the necessary expenses of the govern inert. 6. That Congress has no power, to charter a national bank ; that we believe such an institution one of deadly hostili ty to the best interests of the country, dangerous to our republican institutions and the liberties of the people, and cal ab lated to place the business of the country within the control of a concentrated mo ney power, and above the law's and the will of the people. 7. That Congress has no power, under the constitution, to interfere with or con trol the dome-tic institutions ofthe sev eral states; and that such states are the sole and proper judges of everything ap pertaining to their own affairs, not pro hibited by the constitution : that all ef forts of the abolitionists, or others, made to induce Congress to interfere withques tions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous con sequences ; and that all such efforts will have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endan ger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenan ced by any friend to our political institu tions 8. That the separation of the moneys of the government from banking institu tions, is indispensable for the. safety ofthe funds ol the government and the rights of the people. 9. That the liberal principles embodi ed by Jefferson and the declaration of independence and sanctioned in theconsti tution, which makes ours the land of lib erty, and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in the democratic faith ; and every attempt to abridge the present priv ilege ofbecomi: g citizens and the owners of soil among us, ought to be resisted with the same spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute book. Resolved, That the proceeds of the public lands ought to be sacredly applied to the national objects specified in the constitution ; and that we are opposed to the law lately adopted, and to any law for the distribution of such proceeds a mong the states, as alike inexpedient in policy and repugnant to the constitution. Resolved, that we are decidedly op posed to taking from the President the qualified veto power by which he is ena bled, under restrictions and responsibili ties, amply sufficient to guard the public interest, to suspend the passage of a bill, whose merits cannot secure the approval of two-thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, until the judgment of the people can be obtained thereon, and which has thrice saved the American people from the corrupt and tyrannical domination of the bank of the United States. Resolved, That our title to the whole of the territory of Oregon is clear and un questionable, that no portion of the same ought to lx: ceded to England or any ! other power; arid that the re occupation of Oregon and the reannexation of Tex- ; as, at the earliest practicable period, are I great American measures, which this j convention recommends to the cordial ! support of the democracy of the Union. Resolved; That this convention here by presents to the people of the U. States James K. Polk, of Tennessee, as the candidate of the democratic party for the office of president, and George M. Dallas, of Pennsylvania, as the candidate of the democratic party sot the office of of Vice President of the United States. Resolved, That this convention hold in the highest estimation and regard their illustrious fellow-citizen, Martin Van Buren of New York : that we cherish the most grateful and abiding sense of the a bility, integrity, and firmness with which lie discharged the duties of the high office of President of the United' States, and especially of he inflexible fidelity with which he maintained the true doctrines of the constitution, and the measures of the democratic party timing his trying j and nobly arduous administration ; that in the memorable struggle of 1840 he fell a martyr to the great principles of which he was the worthy representative, J I «Lid we revere him as such ; nndjthat we hereby tender to him, in his honora ble retirement, the assurance of the deep ly seated confidence, affection, and re spect of the American democracy. Resolver?, That an address to the |>eople of the United States, in support of the principles of the democratic party, and of the candidates presented, as their ■ representatives, by fjiis convention, be' prepared by the commute on resolutions and be published by them. ns * Resolved, That the proceedings of thk convention be signed by its officers, an d published m the democratic republic™ newspapers of the United States.
