MILLEDGEVILLE:
SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1830.
“ Walker’s Pamphlet.”—We ate informed by un-
tfriestionable authority, that a specimen of the third edi
tion ol this infamous production has been received at one
of the Past-Offices in Georgia. Our post-masters and
civil-officers should be on the alert in regard to this most
san^ inary and insidious work. We cannot restrain the
expr. ssion of our regret, that something was not done at
the late session of Congress on this momentous subject
If our brethren of the North value the Union, as they pro
fess to do—no time should be lost in revising some means
to orinzto justice the cut-throats who are engaged in this
Imsmess. It is in vain to talk to us about the abstract

We cannot dunk so. The uncomprimising republican-
ism of ihe Pie.-ident was as well known before ids election
iis it is now. i’tt (he ambition of power and the corrup
tions practised to obtain it, exhibited in 1824, the saint

of a people who understand too well the safety of the
Coii,li'utii;n to see it destroyed by unlimited construc
tion—he was slid stigmatised und branded as unfit fot

own consent to be President, and would, in any event,
have opposed Jackson—and in any event, we believe,
would have received 'he same Votes which he will now

are inclined to think with Mr. llffcik—“Let the parti
sans of Mr; C lay misrepresent or murmur as they may,
the good sense of the people will support the present ve
to. il will produce tne sacue t fleets as the first measure
of th sort adopted b» - Gen. Washington.”
The magnanimity and unbending integi ity of Jackson’s
political und moral com-ge in this matter, must overawe
and drive b ick his enemies, as did his physical prowess,
win n tin: tanks of “Wellington’s luvinciblcs” fell before
him at New-Orkans.
Something to be remembered.—“It is the first time, in
the history of the world, that the Executive of a Nation
has interposed bis authority to stop extravagant and
ruinous appropriations.”—Mr. Dan el’s Speech', on the
xeto.
It may he regarded as a remarkable event, in the history
of any government, that its Chief Magistrate should risk hs
own popularity &. power, by declining the distribution of a
vase amount of money and patronage, which the Repre
sent ltives of tin People, the co-ordinate branches of the
Government, had tendered to him. Man is fonu of povv-
.cr, and the distribution of money gives it to him; it re
quires very extraordinary firmness of purpose, and the
ulni si devotion to principle, to resist the proffered pow
er—and more especially, when such a course jeopardises
the popularity of the Magistrate.
By signing all the bills presented to him, Gen. Jackson
would have been re-elected without opposition. But, all
the highest honors of lus country have been confcrrid up
on him by its grateful citizens—the measure of his pop
ularity was full—and he looked only to a conscientious
performance of the duty to which he had been called.—
The Union was endangered,by efforts made to pervert the
principles upon which it was formed. A timid President,
or a President anxious to bo again elected, would have act
ed differently.

The birth day of American independence was celcbrat-
edat Jr win ton on Saturday, the 3d inst. The Ucv’d. Mr.
Chappel addressed the Throne of Grace—the Declara
tion of Independence was read by Dr. Heath, and a clas
sical and truly eloquent Oration was delivered by Irad C.
Day, Esq. At one o’clock, the company sat domi to a
fine Dinner prepared by Mr Delk. After the cloth was
removed, the following Toasts were drank—Maj. Hatch
er acted as fresidenl, arid James Ross Esquire, as Vice
President of (he day :
TOASTS.
• 1. The day we celebrate : Far distant be the time when
Americans on this day, ahull be clad in vestments of mour
ning for departed liberty.
] 2. The Declaration of Independence: As long as wc re
tain upon earth,ih» genius that conceived it, and the mor-
*j cQn*=*s- *u»t ensured its adoption, the Right of Man
aiil need no advocates.
3. The Constitution of the United Stales : If rightly
construed, the adamantine chain that bind us inseparably.
4. The President of the United States : W’ise enough to
-discern, independent enough to point out, and brave e-
nough to defend the true interests of his country : His
achievements at New-Orleans lose their brilliancy when
contrasted with his Messages- to Congress recommending
the removal of the Indians, the modification of the Tariff,
and bis reasons for placing his veto on the Maysvjlle road
bill.
To the Moral and Religious Class of the Voters
in Georgia.
Feli.ow-Citizens—Permit me to offer fur your seri
ous consideration a few brief remarks on a sul b»ct con
nected with the approaching election. They are made a-
side from all party considerations, and will not, I hope,
he ob*.tmeted by party prejudices. About the political
view's of candidates which are often insincere, and the
contest for party ascendancy, which i3 seldom won but by
the sacrifice of principle, or enjoyed without abuses, I feel
too little concern on this occasion to induce a remark of
fensive to any set of political principles. My appeal is
to the moral sense of this community for the correction of
an evil which is dark and insidious in its nature threat
eriing to deluge the community with the grossest immo
ralities—an evil which has already «tained the character
of the State, and which, If not arrested, will gradually,
but not leas certainly, undermine the strongest pillars of
this happy government. Aware of the dangerous and de
moralizing tendency of securing popular favor by dispen
sing heels, the framers of our Constitution wisely deter
mined to guard the approach ofso great an evil of the ter
rors of a most solemn and heart-searching oath—an oath,
so carefully worded, as to mock aH evasion, and which
points the violator to a d <y of most dreadful reckoning.
Thus it reads. "I do solemnly swear, that / have not ob
tained my election by bribery, treats, canvassing, or other
undue or unlawful means, used by myself, or others, by my
desire or ajrprobationA <S*c.
Vii wing the uncompromising provisions of this oath in
connexion with some of the practices of those who seek
ihe fairest honors of the country, I have been led to point
out some of the evil consequences which must inevitably
result from them and to exhort the moral part of this
community to an individual and patriotic cQort to avert
them.
That there is in this community an open and avmced
system of electioneering by treats, is a fact as notorious
as it is odious. That men who aspire to the high and
honorable office of Legislators do, so far forget the dignity
of the place they seek, as to be found plodding the circuit
of Justice’s Courts and herding at inuster-ground assem
blies; plying the cup of intoxication to the lips of their
neighbors, until from the disordered brain and perverted
judgments of these victims of their corruption, there may
be extorted the loudest huzzas for the vilest sycophancy
and most unprincipled ignorance that ever annoyed any
community. And on days of election, how disgusting the
conduct of these Ilonorables of our State; hawking about
their o<vn names and elated with the prospect of success
bv the ill-judged and extravagant encomiums of a besotted
rabble. Nor are these devices without their reward.—
Asa matter of course they prove successful, and are de
clared to be duly elected. These are facts which it were
idle to attempt to prove. Nobody can be ignorant that
such are the devices and such the success of them, with
very many of those on wLose wisdom and integrity the
future hopes of our State depend. Now who that feels
any concern for the public morals—who that has any re
gard for the honor of the State and the future prospects of
the country, can witness such a state of things with in-
differency. Much has been said about the safety of the
Union and the happiness of the people as being endanger
ed by “political heresiesbut here is an evil preying up
on the vitals of ibis coamucitj’, draging after it conse-
, queheeS far more fatal to the safety «n<1 happiness of the
people than all the wordy tempests of.Northern or South
ern oisuniOnLts.
If the preset vatiou of good morals be eSsentiad to the
preset vation of good government in any country, it is the
more essentially so in ours, where the virtue and intelli
gence of the citizens are its chief supports. The amount
of injury done to the public morals, and consequently to
the public institutions of our country, by the treating sys
tem, is not easily to be calculated. By the enticement of
free drink and other excessive liberalities on the part of
candidates at the public gatherings, how many industri
ous men are allured from their needful occupations, to
the great derangement of their secular ..ffiir*, ah well as
injury of their morals. Htfw many sober men nre train
ed to drunkenness—how many honest and otherwise v.r-
tuous citizens are schooied in guile and hypocrisy, to say
nothing ol the profanity and obscenity so common to these
drinking associations.
Whatever of mischief may be done fo the country by
thus despoiling the public morals, there are other evil
consequences still more to be drcadcd^because more im
mediate in tbeir effects upon the public institutions of the
country. When men, (earless of the great God, and re
gardless of Ihe good order and virtuous distinctions so
wisely established in human society, are promoted to im
portant and honorable offit>3 by nuans so vile—by public
demonstrations of their umverthiness—when virtue, in-
Uliigtnce, integrity, ajtd patriotism are mortified into a
retirement from the contest for public offices, and the
brow of perjury is decked with the fairest honors of the
State—then is the ruin of such a people nigh at hand—
their glory is faded, *nd their hopes must perish! Fel-
lovv-ciiiztns, this is no chimera, alas, (he picture is but
too true. Would to God it lineaments were to be traced
no where else but in tbe chamber of a disordered ?nd heat
ed imagination! Look abroad the Slate and see how ma
ny circumstances attest the mortilying truths. Who is
there that has not witnessed the fact, that, bythevciy
means I have denounced, these are often elected to be
the Representatives of’his free and enlightened people,—
men, wfiose moral depravity arid base hypocrisy are only
equaled by their natural imbecility, while no cimbination
iT virtuous talent, private or public worth can arait a com
petitor who may be restitute of their hydra-ficed syco
phancy, and still baser fraud, that purchasesoffice and
honor at th cost of perjury. Yes, perjury: foi I do aver
that the qualification of such members elect isfit only to
b- styled, legal and constitutional perjury— am is one of
tbe vilest mockeries of an oa li that w. sever tolerated by
any people under Heaven! Now to expect thd wise and
wl-tlesomt. laws should emanate from a source s> corrupt,
is a- ab.-urd us ;o look for good fruit on a corrujt tree, or
for sweet water from a bitter fountain. In spealing ttius,
Heaven knows, I mean no disparagement to < hos< virtuous
statesman who. in these days, form a mojoriy in the
councils of the State,—I say, in these days', lor tie present
leanness of that majority an t the rapid growtj of these
evils ure evidences of declension, ;.ni ! but too indicative of
the calamities I have predicted. 1 intended toclose this
address by an appeal to the pride and patriotism of tbe
good people of Georgia for a union of effirt is the sup
pression of these public vices. To do this successfully I
must advert to some of the causes to which they are to be
attributed. If this investigation should expose some of
these good people to censure ihey will doubtless suffer the
reproof—candor obliges me to do it, and true wisdom will
uumonish thrm to bear it. In ihe first place, 1 tstke it for
granted that there exists »n tins community an aggregate
am.Miiii ot morality nt least equd to the amount of iw-
morality; and that in the matter of elections, the chances
ior securing the choice of-he { . AbS alcdeciifdiv (a .
vourable, provide-* they vole unitedly in rem^n.. to ti,i„
subject. But here we see the root of all the evils com
plained of. The disregard of moral worth among men
profession morality, is the true cause of tin's general de
pravity in the public morals. Manytimesilhappcnsth.it
a public man suffers in popularity among a certain class
of citizens, on account of his known, sterling morality.—
Such a mm is known t« interfere in the suppression of
public immoralities, and in conscqu nee of s. cb interfere
ence, be exchanges their favor for their deadlie-t opposi
tion. Now in tbe absence of that support vi bich he has u
right to expect from men professing morality, und r such
an opposition, be is, if he be ambitious, naturallv led to
diminish his public efforts in the cause of morality* if not
to court the favor and connive at the vices, against vv ac.i
it would be his inclination as much as his honor to fiend.
But instead of this union of Bentiment and of action a-
mong the best of men, there has been a union of party to
the sacrifice of moral worth and the best interest of the
country.—a union, which in lbc«i'idno>«at its «nt, bus
driven men, “professing godliness” to the support of un
principled ignorance (which had made its *.ay ts poli ieal
distinction over the broken laws of God, and ail the de
cencies of civilized society,) inertly because it had learnt
to ye?p the dogmas of a party, and to vote as it was in
structed. While sucb is tbe character of the pdilicai bul
lies of this day, men who ciioose not to slain themselves
with such meanness, however rare their qualifications for
office, are driven, by tbeir honor and their oirtue, into ob
scurity and tbe country is deprived of their sevices. Now
I would enquire, is it sufficient for (he conscience of a
moral and religious man to allege party expediency for
bis choice under such circumstances? On the contrarj,
ought not the production of such a candidate by a party,
to induce a good man to distrust the views and principles
ol that party? Certainly it should. Then let men who
fear God and wish to honor their country, look well ta (bis
important matter. Let nothing but private and public
wo.Ub» pass the scrutiny of your inspection. Let it be a
mati ,iro f conscience to vote for no man who is known to
puss x treat, or who is s en skulking to, and from, Justi
ce’s Co.uTtand muster-ground associations. From such
resolution,: these, faithfully pr cticed, tve shall soon

We find also the following just remarks in the Chronicle
—We can say that Judge McDonald is a candidate for
the Legislature in Bibb county and will not run for Con
gress. Dr. Fort, we feel confident, will not .ffer. We
do not know that the other gentleman named will or will
not offer. None could do mure credit to the State.
“Gen. Daniel Newnan is much talked of
by the IruA Democrats throughout the State’
as a candidate for congress at the ensuing e-
lection. He is a sterling patriot, a worthy
roan, and n brave and chivalrous soldier, has
served his country faithfully, ably, and zeal
t-usly, in both civil and military capacities, and
would do honor to himself and the State, in
the councils of the nation. Few, if any, have
stronger claims to the gratitude, respect, and
confidence of his fellow-citizens, and should
he consent to become a candidate for their
suffrages, ive feel assured that his sterling
worth and services will not he forgotten.
Among others who are spoken of as candid
ates for Congress, in addition those we have
heartofor:- mentioned—General Flournot
Judge Schlev. Judge McDonald, Col Cuth
bert and Dr. Fort—is the Hon Thos. U- P.
Chaiilton ot Savannah. Judge C. arrived in
Augusta a few days ago. and took lodging at
tbe United States’ Hotel, where he received
visits from a number ofhis friends, till yester
day, when he departed for Washington. He
has hen selected -by the Demostht nian and
Phi Kappa societies of Athens, to deliver the
customary Anniversary Oration, at the Com
ment, in August next: and from his highly
polished mind, and brilliant talents as an Ora
tor, we may jusly anticipate from him, one of
the most finished specimenf? of composition and
eloquence, that has ever been witnessed there
on a similar occasion.”

Com. Porter.—One of tbe opposition papers, a few
days since,'speaking c? the appointment of our Consul to
Algiers, said, snecringly, with a view to throw odium up, n
the President, that “Algiers was a fit place for the Como-

The following is a good commentary upon such sarcasm.

Despatches from Mr. Preble our Minister

fo Washington. We leafn verbally, that the
subject ol the Noth rn Boundary ottiie United
States was before the King of the Netherlands,
as sovereign arbitrator of the Controversy tie

of th ‘ two nations were engaged in giving ne
cossary explanations of tbe numerous docu

CITIZEN.
fcOMMOSICATED.j
Mr. Editor:—The names of seviral gentlemen have
been mentioned as suitable persons to represent us in the
next Congress—against neither of tvnich, I have any
thing to say. But in addition to those already before the
people, I take the liberty of presenting to their considcra-
The National Journal says: That (be “signs of th-
times” indicate that “the light of truth is rapidly dispell
ing the mists of Jacksonism, and that Mr. Clay, the star
of’he West, is hailed throughout the land as “the young
man’s vision and the old man’s dream.” This is mo t
feliciotisly true; for it is all a “vision” and a iC Uream.-U-
nited Slates Telegraph.
A singular scene took place in the Lcgisla
fure of Rhode Island, on Saturday. At the
g, . , n , . , , last session, Mr. E. R. Potter took advantage
tion, Colonel Brailsford of McIntosh. It is known to u- hP : vl i Q _„
ttacbed to the * ft,s P r,v,,e ffe as a member, to abuse Mr.
you that this gt nth m ill and myself are attached
different political parties which now divide our Stute—
yet it is due to truih and justice to say that I consider him
bigb minded—honorable and possessing talents of a grade
quite respectable. With Col. Brailsford, I am personally
unacquainted—the opinion which I entertain o( his worth
and abilities being entirely formed by his conduct a&a*
member of our State Legislature.
At the last election Colonel Br.iilsford did net receive
but little over two hundred votes in this county, i have
recently heard several persons say, and amongst them
some of influence, that if he were now a candidate they
would support him. My own opinion is that he would
now receive five hnndred. This is however of course bus
ed upon the presumption that nothing shall occur to check
the current of public feeling now flowing in Ids favor.

Mr. Editor.—I have heard that General Reuben C
Shorter is a candidate fur Congress—“We the People”
of this county are glad of it, for we want to see our repre
sentaiives more generally dispersed over the State. Be
ing depriv d of the “District System” we want that which
is as nearly equivalent as possible. Gen. Shorter there
fore has strong claims upon this part of the State. In
this county we have no half way of doing business a-od 1
hesitate not to say that he will receive a liberal support
by HENRY.
The Washington News announces by authority, the
Hon. Thomas U. F. Charlton as a candidate for Con
gress, with the following remarks:
“ In announcing Judge Charlton as a candidateto re
present this State in Congress we see no impropriety in ,
staling explicitly, tbit he is a genuine republican of the
Jeffersonian schooH-a true democrat, and a firm advocate
of-state rights. In 1S00 and 1801 (but memoriable pe
riod in the political history of Georgia, be was almost sin
gle-handed, found combating against 1 he arKtocrati: fed
eralists of the day, and from that time up to the present he
has never been known to halt, or stand between parties,
but has always been found in the front rank of republican
ism. And suppose he has at some period differed person
ally from this, or tliat great man; is that a sufficient caus<.
to blast bis claims upon the community forever? By no
means. His political integrity enn’oot be questioned.-
He withstood the torrent of 1800, when men of ths pre
sent day, (hoisted bi^b on tbe wheel of popular will,) were

Advertiser, who was present reporting the

olent manner whereupon tbe House allowed

TO BE ENTITLED
THE DEMOCRAT.
I N presenting to the public his prospectus fjr a new pa
per at Columbus, the subscriber does not diem it ne
cessary or expedient to go into a minute detail of his politi
cal doctrines, or ofhis particular views in regard to the \&-
i ious topics which now engage public attenti in. lie pre
sumes that bis character a» an editor is too well known
in Georgia to allow him togiin credit among any party,
with mere professions und empty promises. The public
will be apt .o look to the past, in iorming their estimate
of the future, and by that ordeal is he willing to be trier:.
In the numerous political discussions, which the c>t-nT' of
tne day have ennr-tj tonn, his opinions or Bit n and things
have been, publicly expressed, and are doubtless familiar
with many of those to whom tie now looks for patr< n: £,e
and support. Those who have hitherto approved c f hi*
sentini) ills and keen satisfied with the manner : ;i which
he has urged ibem, will, be trusts, stili eoutinue their con
fidence, without the renewal ot pledges, or a formal con
fession ol faith.
In reference however, to the present state of parties,
he begs leave to remark, that he trusts the absence ot all
political excitement, "ill prove propi ioua to tbe. c.re.Se of
truth; and that now all parties, by wha ever n-.tries tb<-y
may Lave been distinguished will be pvrmitteu to labor for
the general welfare, unobstructed by political jealous,, or
ths rancor of by-gone feuds. The undersigned will . n-
deavor to extend still further this general cordiality of
feeling, and to allay the occasional sj u.ptoms ofexucerba
lion to which a warmly contested election may give rise:
and in this, and whatever other measure lit may under
take, for the purpose of advancing the prosperity ot the
state, be tVill count on the cordial co-operation of every
good citizen, however they may have previously did- reil
on points of political faith-.
Attached to the doctrines of the Revolution, ami liolcl-
ing in high veneration the intmory uf thore heroes arid
sages, by whom cur reberties were achieved] and out pre
sent admirable form of government established, the sub
scriber will endeavor to manifest the sincerity of his pro
fessions, by exciting a feeling of attachment to the Uninm
and encouraging an entire cpnfioVnce in the institutions
of our country. He will inculcate the doclrino that it is
better to bear a slight and temporary evil, against which
we have a constitutional remedy, than to haz rd a It for
which our fathers fought, and so many martyrs ,'albred.
and bled. He will'not in any respect overlook or disre
gard the rights or the interests of his ow n state; yet lie
must always view particular righti&.interests, ns relative
ly connected with others, and he .will never consent to tbe
sacrifice ef ^ greater for a lesser good.
