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

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

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

there find for whose benefit they are held and at whcee
responsibility. Th< n read the Attachment L iws on the

} ou do not yet seem to understand, or are determined noi

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

You da not firiieve what you say, that you “will not he

Oh, how rt would rejoice you now, ifyoucould obliterate

praiseworthy, It is the only good thing that you have

HAIL CHARLESTON !
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.

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. -**

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

At these meeting’s the following resolution was also
unanimously adopted,

rity, and correct political views that General DAVID R.

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.

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.

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. As our State has not coun
tenanced their treasonable designs, so neither will she have
to partake of the disgrace and contempt into which they
will soon fall.

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. Tims you have in brief, tlic a-
mount of the rumors now floating through this city.—
New disclosures and new versions will probably from du.

The United States ship of war Peacock, McCall, E*q
commander, is art the harbor this morning. On the l4ib,
she will leave this cruising ground for Pensacola.”
Extirpation of the Eye.—This operation, terrible in its
nature, and so shocking to humanity, became reces-ary
for the removal of a cancerous disorganization cf the
entire organ of sight; and was successfully performed
on the 10th inst. in Somerset, by our fellow townsman,
Dr. Hiflrim Maclay Awl,upon Miss Elizabeth Freeman
residing 5 miles north of Lancaster. The fungus raatt.r
when extirpated, weighed 3 1-2 oz. avdrs. The deform
ity will not extend beyond the loss of one eye, ar.d we
understand the little sufferer is doing well.—People's Ad

\\7 HEREAS thousands of persons have entered upon
T T the lands of the State, in the occupancy of the
Cherokces,oind are now, and have been for some time past,
employed in taking great quantities in value ofgoid there
from—A?>U whereas this state of things was unforeseen
by the Legislatuie, and therefore no laws have been pass
ed for the prevention thereof—And whereas the powers
vested in the Executive Department by the Constitution
and laws do not sufficiently enable the GoVernof to re
move Or restrain such tresspassers—It is therefore Consid
ered that an extraordinary occasion has occurred for con
vening the General Assembly of the State at a period earli

fit, a no by virtue of the power in me vested by the Con-
si itution, do hereby require the members of each House
