By tbe approbation cf the 1 : n ; .- c afterwards sent to a member of Con- I i* rtrange lh»l GrantUnd Should even pretena ' Miove that the one which Mr role stw was one cf our missing. But bis object tome is manifest—to w.desire to impress the public aith tbe belief that I had be . hciting them out. Grant- land must have known that one f the missing had been loaned by Burritt to Mr. R. A. Orcv-, and ihut when that was produced, three remained sin unaccounted for. Grantland says, “Mr. Norlon of Mou, ‘ Z " n hhJ 0,ie *” Was this known at the time of Burnt: * rts*? No— Grand'and knows it was not. “One. (he says) u as found in Burritt’s desk, and he is informed is still there.” W> s this known to the public, or to me ? Where did Grantland get this information, and when ? “Mr. Jones the deputy Sheriff of Habersham, (he says) had one,” and that he bought it from Burritt- Here Grantland has accounted for three that were unaccounted for at Burritt’s trial, and tiro that were nev r accounted for before to the public— thus confirming my former statement that Burritt had b»' n loaning and selling them. Thus says Grantland, with gre..t triumph—‘'they are all accounted for.” Pray, sir, hiiv you not accounted for them ? And r/lion did you do it ? on the 11th of September instant. Does this prove tb it I hey were accounted far at Burritt’s trial nr at the time of my last statement ? Were they ever accounted foffcefore 1 Though Grantland affects to know very litim about the case, yet in his electioneering peregrinations through the country he seems to have been very busy in collec'ing testimony to clear himself, vindicate Burt itt. or injure me. And at l.istin doing so, though he has com mitted most egregious blunders, confirms several of mv most important assertions. If he should by chance be elected to Conyress and venture to speak on the Indian Bill or the Tariff, he must marshall his facts and ereu- lu^nts belter than this,or he will put a good stick intoihe bands of our opposers to beat us withal. As to what passed between Mr. Jones and Burritt, I know nothing ; and therefore cannot correct Grantland here. I ' as in Macon when Burritt received the pamph lets. I can only say, that the workmen kiicw nothitiga- baut the matter, and expressed great surprise when i!;ty heard it. * shewed the pamphh-ts to the foreman, as soon as I had gut the leUer and found them in the offi-e. It was all news to him and the rest of them. Burt itt’s con duct was very diffrent towards Mr. Green, the Postmas ter, from that represented by Grant!mil towards Mr n.

Grant- land’s coa Ijator in the dark J-r with all Ins bare faced falsehoods, lias not da. v. say that the propriety cf writing to the negro was ever s. h.en of. 1 had so fully expressed oiy sell’ o i this subject, that l believed no un prejudiced in.nd could misunderstand me. No such dis cussion wis ever heard by me. I stated before the Jus tices, and will here repeat, that Dr. Be ill, in a conversa tion widi Burritt in uiy presence, expressed a desire to .see*one of the pump m u. 1 have an in istinct recollec tion that Mr Burnt’, said perhaps lie could obtain one by writing to the .Mayor of Savannah— but notone word ju-s d in my hear ig about writing to the Negro. My recollection on tr.u subject was, and is «ull so pJiriuiot, Jii.it I am not coufi ent wlie'her 1 derived it from that conversation, or Irom a letter received by Burritt fru'n the Mayor. When that letter w u received, I hndta enquire of Mr. Burritt to what it alluded, ns Mr. Williams mere ly stated that tbe books he h id writien f<v had all been handed to the civil jolhorilv, without saying wnat t^ey were. Every man of ordinary discernment will ses that A lel'er to the Mayor was not improper. He wag the te- ry man who haC sent the express to the Governor the tfirri put the c immunity on the alert inregutd to this work.— J» ,t nothing had ever come to my knowledge that let; me in tbe remotest degre- to suspect lhat Burritt had writ ten or intend d to wrile to that infamous Ji'fgro. Nor do l Ih Iuv: that. Dr. Real! would have consented to any such proposition. So far as L know him, he is a high- minded, honorable man; and 1 cannot think that be wueld have entered into an arrangement lor the violation of a law he had just had an agency in passing. One wurd ts ij Grantlunu’s calculations ©f the value of the Press, See. The very foundation of iii3 estimate is false. Of course his conclusions ere erroneour. He s ivs, the types only were sold. This is not true. Grant- hand supports tbutl hold the books of accounts fits:., anu a*ks fur whose good? I do hold « part of the books—but why did not Grantland have cando 1 > nough to fin out my .statement 4 * * 7 * Go, Sir, to the Clerk’s Office, and you ml- there find for whose benefit they are held and at whcee responsibility. Th< n read the Attachment L iws on the f 3th p ge of the Digest, and you will theie learn what } ou do not yet seem to understand, or are determined noi to underst.ii J. The fact is, that almost every statement made by drantlanO (fir hecanuot argue) is derived eitaer directly or indirectly from Burritt. “/ am informed' 1 — <l BurriU aays”—constitute the esse pm of his arguments. 1 should be glad to know how long!, is since Grantiund b *s placet! euch implied faith in ivhat Buriitt should say.* The only ground tiiat he relies on for Burrht’s innocence is the want of motive. What motive had th< man who brought the pamphlets to Savannah? What motive had the man Ci'iiivicled of circaldting them in Charleston? AVhat mo- live had ;vl,!o Mower lor violating the laws of Louisiana on the subject of slavery? W'h.-t motive had those men w-i, carried these pamphlets to VVilmin.’.on? What mo tive bad the blood-thirsty writer of this book himself?— But to come to the point—It fiat, motive had Grantland in espousing the cause of Burritt In this trunsuchonl ‘vLicti Wis commcnlpt? on ant -afiroWetly [hi editor bf the Federal Union. ■ Now, you need not think that we are ashamed of our attachment to our Northern brethren.— We know, (if you do not) how to distinguish between a community and individuals.

Pamphlet atf.ui, tuat ibev did not know bow to manage | the matter. At Inst it seems they concluded that they » might perhtps get off in a ghastly kind of grin, by attempt ing to wield it as an engine against us. Bui slop, gentle men. Do uol violate your own consciences ..ny farther. You da not firiieve what you say, that you “will not he -twrpriscd if Ufce Federal Union and other presses of the same stamp were to censure you far whut you sav about the Liberator.” The Union and Chronich’ are both far ahead of you on Cos subject, and you arc only mortified thattht^ have tahe.n the lead of you in a good cause.— Oh, how rt would rejoice you now, ifyoucould obliterate the records of your paper for some months past. But it stands aud it will stand against you! You know the Fe- denl Union had taken the most decided stand on this sub ject, dud yet you expect i's censure! No, no—gentle men. If you had only been satisfied with what you knew lobe 4he truth, you would have received our most unqualified approbation. Except the shameless abuse of your opponents, your condemnation of this Liberator is praiseworthy, It is the only good thing that you have eaid lately. The truth is, the Federal Union and its paf Tons together with the Chronicle, have been for months past abused by you—as opposed to Southern interests &e. &c B it when you find, that whiie you have been mak ing hollow pretensions, we have been actually engaged in exposing the machinations of the slave Liberators, yon fear that your patrons and tbe public will detect the gross ness of the slander; and you therefore attempt to cover ft bv others more gross. But this is not all. While we have been -engaged in developing the destruction that Ivalks at midnight, you have teen upholding the introdu cer and circulator of VVaUter’a Pamphlet.

The Nullifyers have been routed in h pitched battle st Charleston. Ou Mcniuy w r ek lasjt. the city elections occurred. The line was drawn by mu’uai consent, be tween ibe Disunionists and the friends -f the Unidn. Each party had its candidate for every office. For two months the papers-of that city ha»e teemed with elec tioneering anpeals of the warmest, frequently of th: most furious and vehement character. The result is cheering to ev« ry friend of the Union, aff rding an earnest that the Nullifvcrs will be put down at home, by a peaceful resort to the ballot bus—that their monstrous doctrines are losing ground, and will finally become, like the Hart ford Convention, another alarum to patriotism. The strrgg’c turned chiefly on tbe office of Intendant of the city, of which the incumbent was H hry L. Pink ney, Editor of the Charleston Mercury, th( leading nul lification print. Opposed to Mr. Pinknev was Mr. Ptio- g’e, a gentleman highly rpoken of for good sense and moderation. At the close of the polls, Mr. Pringle had i majority of 84, out of about. 1600 votes polled. ' Every Candidate fnt city offices supported by the Unionists, was el- cted. The vaafifing and bullying of the nullifyers had led us to fear a different result, end we hail this with so much tbe more pleasure, that we did not expect it. Defe- trdat the polls, the nullifyers vented Iheir spite in an unmanly outrage upon the person of the Editor of the Charleston City Gazette, a Journal of spirit, talent and moderation, which is thus detailed by the Editor him self. , “The Senior and acting Edifornf this Journal was as sailed on yesterday morning between the hours of two and three, while standing upon the threshold of bis Office, by a mob of from two to three hundred persons, armed generally with clubs ; three of whom assitnlied and col lared him, w'thout any provocation whatever on bis part; and but for the use of a weapon of some little potency, and the timely interference cf a few friends, who pre vailed upon I hem to take their departure, he would in all probability bare lost his life, or at least been subjected to a species of ill-treatment, not falling short verygreal- lv. of tiie violence necessary towards effecting that end. They spared, however, neither threats nor abuse, and by their conduct, seemed determined, to prove two things at least: —namely, that' the courage which allowed of the attack on a single man, by two or three hundred, was of the true kind; and also—that the Freedom of the Peo ple meant neither more nor less, than the right of the People to destroy the People for daring to entertain an opinion for ; bemselves. Upon this fact we offer no com ment of our own. We leave it to the honorable and high-minded to j; dge from this, of the nature of that per secution which, for the last two months, has made use 6f, and exercised its various means of malignity and injury against us. They will judge how far the liberties of the Citizens are se lire with those, who, by intimidating, and vuppressing the exercise of public opinion and discussion, strike at the very roots of every specie^of Freedom, Ci vil, Religious and Popular.” Nullification is undoubtedly receding iir South Caroli na Various circumstances prove the faet. Aaorig them we notice the following intelligence from Sumpter dis trict, cl dmcd as almost unanimous for the doctrines of Cooper, Hamilton and Hayne. Give the people but to understand, and th©ir decision is never wrong. [Fromthe Charleston City Gaaette, of Sept. 3.J EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. A VOICE FROM SUMTER. The following is an ex»ract*of a letter received by the Editors, from an intelligent and respectable gentleman of Sumter District. Tbe chances of a Convention seen as few there as with ns. Upper Salem, Sept 3. “Old Sumter is safe. 11 —The Factionists and Insurgents will be, and indeed ure defeated. The People, indignant at the misrepresentations in the Sumter Gazette, and re peated in the Mercury, and the gross trick of calling the acts and doings of a few people of Statesburg and its vi cinity, those of tbe whole District of Sumter, determined at the earliest petiodlo give the statement, “the contra diction flat.” On tbe 3d fast, votes were taken at several Muster Grounds, and th* question of Convention or no Conven tion wa« proposed to fiie people present. I have heard of three. At Capt. Belssr’s the Rombei present was 47, and two only Voted for a Convention. One of the latter wa» a Northern man, and said he only voted 80 least some violent neighbor (he resides near Statesburg) should say he would not fight. At C.ipt. Rtiuute’s the number of persons there was J31; of these one solitary vote was found for a Conven tion. At Capt. Geno’s the number was from 80 to 100. There were in this case two dissentient votes. Nullification is as dead as Julius Ceasar—and LJiave no fear that before the Elections we shall be able to say the same of Convention. Indeed, of all the abominable, gross misrepresentations flf. a. people, th*me never was a greater one than that published in the VSumter Gazette." 1 trust it will be contradicted, and in such a manner as to prevent for the fuiurc sueh Editorial nullifications, or in plain English falsifications. -** mfi*» * 7 - * [From tfie Charleston City Gazette.] EDGEFIELD AGAIN. “Two large public meetings have been held in Edge- field District, In which according to tbe Edgefield Hive, NULLIFICATION HAS BEEN NULLIFIED. Re solutions were adopted unr.nimcu.tly at both meetings pledging each to vote for no candidate for the State Legis lature who advocates NULLIFICATION, The Editor cf the Hive, in concluding his editorial article on this sub ject pungently rematks: ‘‘Tne party who were so anx ious to have tbe candidates pledged to their favorite poli cy previous to the election, should have borne in mind that it was qui possible for Hainan to be hung upon a gallows of ids own build.ng. At these meeting’s the following resolution was also unanimously adopted, Resolved, That the true patriotism, well known integ rity, and correct political views that General DAVID R. WILLIAMS entertains, make him eminently calculated to tie the People's Candidate tor next Governor. Charleston, August 31, 1830. My Dear Taylor—I have ju3t received an invitation to your dinner of the 20tb prox. Fray toll me, Jid it come from th- committee or horn some other quarter ? If from (he committee, I am sure not a man of them could have scut it otherwise than as a m irk of attention—if from another quarter, you know nu> well enough to know that the jest is lost. But my object in either case is to en quire, whether if I attended the dinner, 1 could be heard with patience, while proving to the satisfaction of any man whose mind was in a state for thinking, 1st. That tne protection of domestic manufactures was an avowed leading and necessary object of the constitu tion. 2nd. That it was never lost sight of, but always relied upon as the capacity of ihe country to produce developed ilstif. 3rd. That the late attempts on a large scale grew out of a succession ofr such developemeuts, anrta state of tilings resulting from changes in the application of labor, which imperatively nquired of every wise government to adopt such a course of policy. 4th. Timt Carolina has not only, rot been injured but realty benefited to many thousands by the Tariff. 5:b. That no slate in the union is more deeply inter ested in maintaining tbe principles of tiie Tariff. 6th. Thai nullification is foily, and the peaceable course projected under it, all a sidy and wicked delusion. 7th. That it grows out of a deliberate conspiracy a gainst the union, which has been steadily w >rking upon os fir the last six years, though very few are in ihe se cret. * b. That a Convention is the grand end, end aim, ar.d agt-nt, of that conspiracy. My friend, you have much at stake, and you arc not tiie man whom 1 would think to frighten or wish or hope to deceive. Before Almighty God, I declare to you that 1 believe all the above propositions to he true; and you have my permission, nay, reqrest, to publish this with my name to it, for I am in earnest. Yours affectionately, WILLIAM JOHNSON. Rice Creek, Sept. 11, 1830. My Dear Judge—I was not at the meeting which se lected itie invited guests The other gentlemen of the committee and whose nani-s are on the invitation and unassisted from any other quarter as they direct me to assure you, marie this selection, and further that the names of yourself, of Judge Lee, Judge Richardson and of many others kn iwn ar.d supposed to be anti conVen- tionists, wire selected in the spirit of fairness and with a view of eliciting a lull, free and candid discussion of the great question now before the public. If 1 had been present I should have excluded yours and Judge Lfc’s, not on account of personal disrespect; but because I deem it utterly incompatible with my notions of propriety, for the members of the federal judiciary to come down and mix in the common fight, in the discus sion of subjects which may, and in all probability will, come before them for adjudication; and tbe more espe cially as in the very subject now to be discussed, some of lii<r great politicians refer us to (he Supreme Court for re dress against the usurpations of the general government. Rut if you will come, I, as one of the members of the “conspiracy” you undertake to prove has existed for six years, whether we are in the secret or not, do promise in their behalf to give j ou a fall hearing on your eight poin»s, and if not as patiently as judges usually hear the plead ings against their culprits, at least more patiently than a federal judge heard the defence of poor Fries, or the de fences of the victim's ihder the sedition law—and as we hive “»iucA at stake,” we shall bestow breathless a'ten- t-on in a case where a judge becomes the accuser, wit ness and advocate against us. Your compliment to inc, that I a<>i not one wboj’ou Wodld think to frighten, assures you (hot 1 shall hot runaway fr.im your philippics, and I can promise the same for my compeers. I am left rto alternative but to do as you reques ted, publish your letter f for in making the neces sary inquiries of the committee it became proper to shew it to them, and we all judge that it would be an evidence of guilt and an act of cowardice to suppress your tight points;—we hold you bound for the proof—aye, the proof must learned judge. We shall not be satisfied, nor will the public, tiiat you should leave your tight points with ciuesnotyet unwound, of the denunciators cf the south in John Adams’ reign of terror Why did you not come out with your eigi t points u ihe late election fur Intend ant in your city ? I have ^een the address of tbe friends of the successful candidate for Intendant—there is nothing so serious, in d weighty as your eight points in lhat address —I say eo serious and weighty, if you can establish them, but light as chaff if resting only on assertion. I am out of public life and never wash to be in it again, —but I sincerely wish my coun'ry may guria the pursuit of that great desideratum, a tribunal (other tlmn that on which you sit) which shall have power and w igtvt enough to prove an obslaprincipiw, to the usurpations of the gen eral government in despite of the rights of the states. And in Mr. Jefferson’s words, 1 say, “I would separate from our companions when the rule alternative* left are, tbe dissolution of the union with them, or si bmission to a government without limitation of power; between these two evils, when we must make a choice, there can be no hesitation.” If this is conspiracy, make tbe most of it. I am yours, JOHN TAYLOR. P. S. You have my permission, nay, request, to pub lish this. —oo:o:oo— We are glad to find that North Carolina does not stand quite so high in the good graces of the disunion party oi South Carolina, as she did a tir mouths ago. Then, all the honeyed phrases of cajolery were employed to enlist “magnanimous North Carolina” in the abominable schemes ef the leaders of tba: party. Now, When it is well ascertained that she will follow ho such leader, even the Governor of that State has taken the liberty to cast bis slurs on her. We are glad of it; for we desire fel lowship with no such party.

Milledgetille, September 95th, 1830. 12 4t Havana—A letter to the Editors ol the Baltimore A merican, from their correspondent at Havana, under date of August 7, says: “Many devulopetnents of the late conspiracy are at length before the public. One So lis, a<conspiratur, who has received a partial pardon from the King an^ sentenced only to ten years’ exile, h is dis closed all its mysteries, purposes, and partisans. The ‘Military Commission,’ a stern tribunal that takes cogni zance of these offencee, is now firmly advancing in the trials of Ihe prisoners. Five hundred persons in Havana arc registered among the accused; five have been already sentenced to death, and several others to ten years ol (pre.rideo) labor in chains at Ceutn. “This conspiracy, in its checks and secrecy, was al most masonic, the title and standard of the association was—The Black Eagle. They issued diplomas to their confederates, and aM who refused to adopt their principle and to become conspirators, (foreigners not excepted,) were to be put to the sword and their effect? confiscated. Among their numbers are several citizens of wealth and consideration, several European military officers^ law yers, &.c. hut by far the larger numbe r in the plot of im portant subordinate agents, are, as in all conspiracies and revolutions, found in the humbler walks of life,—barbers, butchers, boatmen, £tc.
