The truth coming at last\—“A life of II. Clay
is said to be “in preparation by
George D.
Prentice, the Editor of the New-England re-
publi he<l ;.t Hartford Connecticut The
Work will contain 000 pages, and he printed
on fine paper, at $125 els. per volume ”
—0/ course we are to have, at last, all the mys-
iteiies of the nrgocialions at Ghent, and ol the
Coalition at Washington. Wo shall have
made good Mr. C. pledge, so long given, and
•o long unredeemed, to expose (tie errors ot
Mr Adames expoze—But, above all. we shall
nve the true and faithful copy of Mr Clay’,-,
celebrated letter to Mr. Blair. W.thout this
loeument, Mr. Prentice will hardly be able to
unlock the secret history of the ld3t five years
of Mr Ciav3 life.
The Columbian Gazjttc lays great stress up-
m the “indications from various parts of the
country” in favor ot Mr. Clay, "if the press
f.iay be considered a fair criterion! The indi
canons "argued’* equally “favorably of the
prospects of Mr. Adams in i828-if the press-
cou'.d be considered a fair criterion"-And vet
sifter all, Mr. Adams was thrown out all hollow.
The “lying Oracles" of the press completely
misrepresented the public sentiment-just so
it will 1m? about Mr. Clay.
The G izette, for the purpose of swelling
ihe bladder, calls all* the friends ot Mr. Clay
the charge, apprizes them that “the cele
bration ot tt\e approaching aniversary ot our
independence will present opportunities to in
dulge in the expression of feelings warm from
he heart, and many will be the offering, vol-
.mtarilv made, to his services, his talents
Ismd his claims.” “We hope (says his recruit-
ir Sergeant) to see a bountiful tribute to
I his deserts on the occasion.”—We have no
doubt that such will be the course of the
j friends cf Mr. Clay on I he by-gone aniversary.
They tried it in July, 1828, with Mr. Adams
—but in October the polls gave us the true in
dex of the “Public Sentiment”—170 for Jack
son and 03 for Adams.— lb.
The feast of Nullification, has been cdebraieO in
Charleston, bj the friends cf that measure, and of revo
lution. That our readers may be in possession of all
the intormation necessary to a correct judgment of these
doctrines, and tbe consequences to which they tend, we
have laid before them in our paper of today, the Speeches
of the Hoc. William Drayton, and Gen. Hayne—to these
productions we solicit their especial attention. This cele
bration has been. look for with anxiety, by tbe advocates
of disunion, as the sanctified- organ of sentiments, and
the official source from which was to proceed those doc
trines, intended to give an additional impetus to the spirit
of rebellion, to govern and direct its progress. With
these expectations, it is reasonable to suppose do effort
remained unemployed—no arts of persuasion unessayed,
to collect a mass of materials suitable for the occasion-
materials that would quietly submit to any form, imposed
upon them by the master builder. How far the project
will be successful, time alone can develope. We have
never refused Gen. Hayne the meed of admiration due to
the possessor of talents of no ordinary grade—but wc
have ever reprobated, and on this occasion still do repro
bate, the uncontrollable ascendancy cf passion over rea
son, exhibited throughout the whole of his demagogical
addresses. The one before us is an address to the pas
sions of his audience; it is an attempt to infuse into their
minds, the venom with which his own is surcharged. For
talent so employed, we can feel but tittle respect—and
wc sincerely regret be bas not sought out a more glorious
theatre for its exhibition- It is not a little surprising that
these factionists should be unable to agree upon some
definite mode of resistance to the laws of the Union—
there is a surprising holding back upon this point, even
among the most turbulent. After pouring forth with
characteristic volubility, tbe most inflammatory senti
ments, Gen. Hayne declines "indicating any particular
course" for the malcontents to pursue; and evinces the
well trained tlcma^gue, by seizing the opportunity to
fl tier tho people—referring the matter to the decision of
. their superior wisdom. In reciprocation of tbe compli
ment, they cannot do less than impose upon luo> the duty
of choosing fur them. Both parties seem instinctively to
remember that the rubicon is not yet passed; and each one
is anxious to thrust forward bis coadjutor first to take the
irrevocable step—“thus conscience doth make cowards
of them all ■” But we turn to the speech of Col. Drat-
ton, with feelings and emotions of a far more agn eable
nature. In this distinguished Son of Carolina, the friends
of the Union, and of Southern interest, have cause of tri
umph The doctrines and sentiments of our Washing
ton, Jefferson, and Livingston, are echoed by him. He
has realized the expectations which turned upon him the
eyes of all true patriots, to redeem the honor of Carolina
from the foul blot a few ambitious aspirants and their
servile tools would affix upon her escutcheon. We now
recognize the voice of Carolina. We now distinguish
the calm deliberate tor.e of wisdom and firmness, suited
to the dignity of « powetfol and patriotic State. How
widely a.ti.-x ru lYom the discontented vopouring of tint
*< lfish ambition which would destroy the edifice wherein
it cannot rule at pleasure! It is remarkal Ic that no more
than six htind'cd persons arc said to have assembled on
this occasion, notwithstanding tire exertions that were
doubtless usul to make as great a show of numbers as pos
sible. We are forced to believe in that number were ma
ny who disappi oved the ol ject ofthfi meeting. No doubt
it was expected that Col. Drayton would oppose the nul-
I'fiers nli is the disnnionists, which circumstance drew
many of Ihose who thought with him, to the spot, for the
purpose of contributing their aid pnd countenance to his
support. We have never belated the State of Sou'h Car
olina Wholly governed by Hayne and his coad jutors—and
we rrgard the “feast of nullification" as the epoch of a po
litical regeneration, and the downfall of 'he monster disu
nion. Hereafter v«e may recur to this subject—belotv we
give an extract from the Richmond Enquirer, by which it
m iil be seen that the good “Old Dominion," continues true
to the faith of her illustrious Washington and Jefferson.
"We cuntiot go with the spirit which runs through sev
eral of these speeches and many of the toasts. The Ora
tors generally deprecate disunion and force—but what
does Mr. Cheves mean by resisting “at any and every
hazard? 1 ' With such alarming expressions as these, lei
him be solemnly assured the Southern Slates will not co
operate—they will say with,the President, “The' Fedirai
Union must be preserved." As to nullification, which
seems to he the general favorite with the politicians of
South Carolina, the Southern States will say with Mr.
Dravton—“We cannot perceive any substantial distinc
tion between the abrogation of a law of Congress, by a
State, and tbe separation of that State, from the Union”—
(in other words, Disunion.) We repeat “^ause, pause,
for llcavctt’o sake pause." And the Republicans of Vir
ginia will, we .have no doubt, solemnly join with us in this
s-ntiment. They deprecate the extremities, to which 3.
Carolina may proceed—they lift up their hands against it
—Whatever her sisters (of North Carolina and Georgia)
may da—and vre are firmly persuaded, thr.t they will not
lend their sanction to such proceedings—Virginia will riot.
With Jefferson we say 11 Patience and perseverance may
achieve much—D spair would ruin every thing." But
we will take up this subject again—when we publish the
Proceedings of Charleston."
We have been requested to state that Jeremiah Beall,
Esq. did neX attend tbe 4th of Juiy Dinner in Wilkinson;
consequently, he did not act as “Sec’ry. Com. Arrange

Notice to all Persons l
I HEREBY forwaro all persons, from trading with
Ethridge Harris, for lot No. 272, in the 6lb district
of Carroll county, because 1 have purchased the same of,
and from said Harris on the ‘26th of June last past, and
paid him for the same, and am determined to told it.
This notice is therefore given for the benefit of all per-
Ttns notice c 6 JOSHUA HOLDEN.
Am<fng other things raid by that pure patriot Grn. T.a-
fatette, to dissuade the “hoi headed” politicians of our
day from persovering in a course calculated to defeat the
hopes of freedom’s friends throughout the world, by bring
mg our republican institutions into disrepute, & producing
a signal failure of the experiment to prove man capable of
seif government; lie told them that any attempt among
ourselves to induce a dissolution of the Union, would be
received by the enemies of free government in Europe,
with "a yell of triumph that would be echoed from one
end of the continent to the other." This prediction of
the good old General, is now about being realized It
could nut he supposed the Monarchs of Europe would look
without interest on those internal convulsions which shook
a fabric so odious totlie sight of legitimacy, as the Ameri
can Confederation. England, especially, could not he an
uninterested “looker on in Venice." With her tools and
instruments scattered throughout the whole extent of our
country, she silently ministers to the spirit that is striving
to overturn our institutions. VVitb such men as Cooper
operutiug upon the distempered imaginations of disap
pointed factionisls, she hopes to kindle a flame that shall
drive seme at least of her “revolted colonies" back to the
maternal arms. These expectations, originating from
the Hartford Convention, and nourished by the example of
Troup, have lately been excited to tbe highest point ol assu
rance by the intemperate vapouring employed in Carolina,
and attempted in Georgia. Regarding these things as evi-
dence of the success cf her emissaries, and the precursor of
the approaching dissolution of the American Confedera
tion, she has already in the cxullatioirof her heart, raised
the "yell of triumph." The States are already regarded
as the lawful prey of foreign nations—already they have
commenced, in idea, apportioning our country to different
crowned masters. Listen to what an English paper says
upon this subject, while expressing the utmost delight at
the attempts making in the South to brew up a civil war,
and like Cooper arraying arguments against the existence
of our Union. "To whom, in their dilemma, can they
look for aid, but in the British as their natural friends, in
whose alliance would he established a permanent reci
procity of interest." The same paper remarking upon
that power possessed by united America, of which Eng
land had so lately felt the effect, does not pretend to re
strain Us joy at tbe prospect of this power being 1 crippled,
or annihilated, by revolution; it says—"Therefore, should
we rejoice to see liiem split into two, or more Republics,
and then they would be. sufficiently unw ieldy to In# and
prosper under those designations.”
Mr. McDuffie seems to be a great favorite with this
writer—he is styled just "such another man as Brough
am." IC? 3 Ponder well the following sentence and its
meaning: “We are charmed with his powers, and en
chanted with the new scenes of glory he lays open to the
view of Great Britain.” Comment might obscure the
text, it is too plain to need illustration. The question
that results is a simple, and an important oue—are the
people of this State prepared to be the instruments of
British tools, to deliver themselves and brethren bound
hand & foot into tbe power of their natural and implaca
ble foe?
To the Editor of the Federal Union:
Sir—Among the prints of this State that stand forth
conspicuous by their uttitude ol defiance of the obligation
of truth and decency, 1 beg leave to point for a moment
to the "Athenian;" a name degraded by its conjunction
with a vehicle so opposite in ail its functions, to the prin
ciples associated with that appellation. It is not neces
sary that I should pull my cap, and make a conge to the
Athenian, to propitiute its wrath, for the presumption of
entering into the prestnee, without the formality of an in
troduction. Itsown opinions on this subject, as expres
sed in that paper of the 6lh lust, will I hope justify this
course with those who. are accustomed toV.ecide, upon
the production of sufficient authority. "When an anony
mous writer is uttering general strictures in a public print,
he sets himself up to public animadversion, and we con
sider him fair game. This is ouc among tie* cardinal
rules and articles of political warfare." Besides tbe fo.ee
of tliis unquestioned authority, I shall, to avoid all future
cavilling and to make the decision in the case final and
conclusive iu justification, resort to precedent; w hich the
Judiciary knows is more weighty than authority, because
it is theory reduced to practice. The article irom which
the above delivered opinion was taken, purports to be a
reply to a Citizen of Hall county, with whom the aforesaid
Athenian engaged in chivalrous contest, in disregard to
the rules of honotable combat, which prescribe the neces-
siiy of a previous challenge. It is somewhat remarkable,
that the Athenian should not have been better supplied
with legal advice, considering its propinquity to the er
mine— than so grossly to outrage the laws of chivalry.—
But, nevertheless, the point is settled—the decision has
gone forth; and be the precedent well or ill founded, its
binding effect cannot now be questioned, unless indeed,
the identity of the peisonage who framed the decision be
disputed—but this is a mistake that can rarely happen,
and that only iu term time.
Supported then by such high authority; and wiih the
luminous example of such a precedent [or my guide, the A-
thenian cannot condemn a tew strictures, elicited by its
own remarks, and warranted by the “cardinal rules and
articles of po'i’icul warfare”—more especially since I ap
prehend the gentleman from Hall will scarcely deign a rc-
Vly to what leaves untouched and unanswered the whole
field of his argument.
With the particular, or ifthr. term be preferred, the local
controversy between “S. S. Reynolds,” and his assailani
of the Athenian, 1 have no concern, except so for as re
gards the celtuce of principles held in common. 1 cannot,
how ever, avoid to remark upon the palpable evasion of the
Athenian, in seeking to escape the force of a r gument, by
flying for refuge to the insinuation that S- S. Reynolds
was not the author of his ow n production; it shows “how
hard poshed he was lo pick flaws.” It is of very little
importance w ho was tbe real writer of a particular publi
cation: the legitimate question is, are the sentiments cor
rect? Does it baarthe impress cf truth! - This being an
swered in the affirmative, the question .vs lo authorship is
unimportant; and in this instance the Athenian has been
caught at its old trick, of avoiding a contest where success
was hopeless; and by affecting a sort of chuckling tone
between a laugh and a cry, endeavors to withdraw the at
tention of the reader from the argument, by exciting his
sympathy for its bj stencil fit This ifl’cciatiefi cf doubt
whether u man is the writer cf a publication hearing his
signature, reminds m<? of a question that 1 have beard
propounded, and to which the Athenian in its spirit of di
vination, may be able to inuke out a Legal answer explamr
tory of the imputation above stated—to wit; “Who was
the father of .Zebcdoe’s children?”
The Athenian is made lo deny any wish “to interfere in
the local politics of Hall, or vny other county.” “Now
my little follow, indulgent a? we may feel toward you, this
is claiming loo much" from our good nature; it is too
strong a draw upon our credulity; we cannot believe a
word of it. Besides, how does your practice correspond
with your profession! Are you not constancy publishing
phillij'pics against one parly in each comity ? Have yv-u
not unceasingly taxed your wits to dense measures, lor
establishing your own doctrines in every county, and
electing to office such men alone as acknowledge their or
thodox}? Can the Athenian deny th*t the end of its ex
istence, is to effect this purpose? '“Upon what meat doth
this our Caevar food,” but upon the elements of political
discord? Originating from the scum of party conflict, it
is sustained by the same filthy nutriment. With what
propriety it now disowns its parentage, and denies ihe
terms upon which it lives, and acts, the reader can judge
If the A'heniun he sincere in the declaration that it has no
wish to interfere in the politics of the several counties of
the State, for what purpose I would ask, does it unite with
certain oilier disunion piints, to recommend the establish
ment of the caucus tribunal in every county? \V bat ben
eficial effect of a general nature, is expected from it? The
true answer is obvious, though its projectors dare not a
vow it. The ccur3c is properly refcruble to two distinct
motives, impelling to one common end. One is, more
easily to promulgate the traitorous designs of Cooper and
bis fellow laborers, and toasceitain the strength of the
malcontents to bt drawn into the crusade plotting against
the General Government. Tbe other, to concert meas
ures to ensure the re-election to office of Troup’s adher
ents. The permanent end intended to result Irotn this
combination, is to secure a sort of hereditary succession
to office and power, among tbe members of tbe Troup fac
tion—or, to speak more plainly, it is a conspiracy to ex
clude the Clark party from all participation in the Govern
ment of the State. Let it be recollefcted, that the Clark
party, in numbrr exceeding twenty thousand voters—-in
cluding a portion equal to ttiei/opponents, of intelligence,
integrity, wealth, and patriotism—by this system of pro
scription arc to be debarred the right of representation, so
far as the conspirators can devise means, by fraud or oth
erwise, to abridge its exercise. Hundreds of patriotic
youths, who have by laborious study, and pecuniary sac
rifices, qualified themselves, far usefulness and honorable
distinction, are to be cut off from both, because they will
not make a sacrifice of principle to interest; because they
nobly refuse to immolate the virtuous affections of the
heart, upon tbe altar of the beast, and receive his brand
in their foreheads. T!«is cannot be denied lobe a just ex
planation of the caucus, or monkey system, (I crave par
don for using the term.) This systent the Athenian stren
uously maintains. How dara it assert in the face of these
facts, that it dots not interfere in the politics of any coun
ty? W ho will believe the assertion?
* A GEORGIAN.
in opposition to the great and good Jefferson—for if this
advertisement meaus any thing, it is that the Clerk men
are to be deprived cf that great “LIBERTY" of being re
presented. I do not wish to be understood as including
all those who rote on the Troup aide of Ike question,!
only allude to a few who call themselves “the leading
ones"—a few who wish to dictate to and rule the county;
for surely I believe that there are many good and worthy
men attached to tbe Troup party: those who are as will
ing to bleed and die for their countsy as myself or any
other. I therefore cail upon my friends of the Troup par
ty in Ne-wtoo county generally, and particularly those of
“Rock Dale District"—my fricuds and neighbors whom
I much esteem—to look and see how low wc are fallen—
to repent,-and do their first work over before it be too
late—-for I do think I can see the “Iron Yoke" of oppres
sion shewing itself in our county. Then ltt us consider
ourselves as members of the same Republican family and
put down those men who wish lo govern our county and
those candidates who have been brought out without our
consent. For after you had betn called together, how
many of you were consulted—I answer you not more
than one out of ten. TLis evidently shews that not only
the wishes of the Clark men, but many of the Troup par
ty are to be disregarded. As heirs of the same great po
litical estate, let us once more unite together and take it
into ourown management.
I have no doubt my friends but what you will be sur
prised to hear one so weak—one professing to be a fol
lower of the Lord, take up the cudgel and "cry aloud.
My reason is this—I wish to see our children and our
children’s children, and all those who shall live after us
when we are no more, to have the full and perfect enjoy
ment of that sweet “Liberty of conscience”—being their
own political Lord and master—friend and sovereign—
sitting under their own vine arid fig tree worshiping God
in their own way and none to make them afraid. These
are my views—these are my wishes—in making which
public 1 have stated only what I honestly believe to be
true, and God forbid that truth should give offence. I
roost solemnly declare that I intend evil to none, but that
I fervently wish happiness, liberty, equality, and prosper
ity to all alike.

TO THE VOTERS OF NEWTON COUNTV.
Friends and Fellow-Citizens—Tiie most of you have
seen an advertisement inviting “the citizens attached to
the Troup party (only) to attend at Covington, on Mon
day the 5th July, for the purpose of agreeing upoh esndi
dates for the ensuing election lo represent them in the
next Legislature.” Now if I Understand the meaning of
this, it is that the Clark men, so called, are not to be re
presented—neither are they be heard at all. I earnestly
entreat you all to raise yourselves superior to party con
siderations and examine well this matter. We live in a
Republican government where ail sere alike entitled to a
participation in its benefits. »! am what is called a Clark
man, and conscientiously believe in the rectitude of con
duct and purity of principles by which that party is actua
ted—and urn I, let me ask, on that account to be disfran
chised and insulted? M f ear has always beel open to the
calls of my country. I have paid all my taxis and have
never thought it uurthensome to contribute injproportion-
able share for the support of my government or the cause
of my country. The Declaratiou of Independence adopt
ed on the never to be forgotten 4th of July, 1776, amongst
other things, contains these exalted sentiments: “We
hold these truths to be self evident—that all men are cre
ated equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights; and that amongst these, are
life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Now, her e
i is a party as they call themje’vc?, who set themselves
sacred the principles of ’76, and treat with disdain the
man who attempts a disunion.
