MR. CALHOUN.—In the Federal Union of
May the 19th, among other editorial remarks, is
the following: “but we have authority for saying
that Calhoun is not a nullifier.” For this remark
the undersigned, one of the editors of the Federal
Union, owes to the public an explanation, which is
now cheerfully rendered. The article referred to,
was prepared and published by me, in the absence
of my associate, and without his knowledge. I had
then recently received, from a gentleman who had
an opportunity of knowing the Sentiments of Mr.
Calhoun, a letter, which is now before me, and in
winch I was informed, that Mr. Calhoun did not go
tare. That distinguished patriot, Gen. John Clark,
acting with the advice and support of his political
friends, earnestly endeavoured to remove the elec
tion of the Executive,from the Legislative depart
ment of the Government; and to vest it directly in
the people, making the Governor immediately res
ponsible to the people. He pursued the same
course in rehtion to the election of Electors. Those
with whom we have acted, have zealously advoca
ted bot h of these changes; and we believe that
since the year 1822, the opposition which they have
encountered, v, r as confined to the ranks of the Troup
or Crawford party.
But we do not charge the Troup party wilh a
genera! opposition to these measures: we know that
many patriotic meij among them cordially and effi
ciently co-operated with us, in effecting these re
publican improvements: and we would modify the
expression, “He (the Recorder) and his friends,”
rather than suffer it to bear an import sufficiently
broad to include such men.
The Journal has entered into an examination of
the proceedings of the Legislature, in order to
shew-that these triumphs of republican principles
were achieved by the Troup party. We will meet
the Journal in this investigation: and hv exhibiting
many additional facts, drawn from the same sources,
we will prove that the conclusions of our neighbours
are erroneous. In preparing the statements which
we submit, we have examined the journals of the
Senate and House of Representatives, in order to
ascertain the individuals who voted yea or nay, on
the several occasions; and we have used some in
dustry in ascertaining the political relations of those
individuals. The enumeration of Clark and of
Troup votes, which we shall give on the several
questions, we believe to be correct: but we pre
tend not to be infallible. If in any name we shall
be wrong, let the error be pointed out.
For 1821, we have nothing to add to the state-
the Troup presses are making boastful professions of approaching contest between the friends of Mr. Ad-
their republican principles, the Clark party are seen
steadily and unostentatiously pursuing a republican
practice.
Do our neighbors of the Journal verily believe,
that the people of Georgia are incapable of distin
guishing between professions and practice?
Among the opponents of this republican reform,
among those who recorded their votes against per
mitting the people to choose their Electors of Pre
sident and Vice-President, is to be found the name
of GEORGE R. GILMER, at present Governor
of Georgia, and a canduTate for re-election! He op
poses the will of the people,-after it has been fully
expressed. We have heard a great deal of idie
rant about federalism: but here we have its essence.
A majority of the Troup party in the Senate, in
cluding his Excellency, endeavour to withhold from
the people, an essential right, which they have ex
pressed their wish to enjoy. By their practice they
declare, that the people are not capable of self-gov
ernment; that they cannot be trusted with the choice
of their electors; in the language of an ally of the
Journal, that they ought to be saved from “the
confusion and anarchy of multiplied elections:”
or in the language of a distinguished member of the
Troup party, who is now honored with a seat in
congress, “that the people ought to be saved from
themselves, their own worst enemies.” The
essential principle of federalism, is a distrust, of
the people, and a consequent attempt to vest in the
government, powers that ought to be retained and
exercised by the people. And tliifthe great prin
ciple of federalism, is here carried into operation
by Georoe R. Gilmer, and his associates. And
yet this man’s political character is declared by the
Troup presses, to be a model of republicanism: and
the people are exhorted to elect - him, in order to en
sure the success of republican principles! On that
great question, he endeavoured to disappoint the
ment of the Journal. The bill to alter the mode c r* wishes of the people, after they had been fully, for-
choosing the Governor, was introduced by Mr. Ry- I mally, and publicly expressed by them: he attempt-
a single step beyond the doctrines contained in the
V irginia report and resolutions of 1798; which he i a n, a member of the Troup party, and passed both 1 ed to withhold from them a great right, which they
understood to maintain that in case of a palpable, I branches of the Legislature, by constitutional ma- i claim to themselves: and yet it is now expected,
deliberate, and dangerous infraction of the constitu-; j or i t j eSi ’ - . ~
tiou of the United States, in the last resort, and j j n 1822, the same hill
vvnen all other remedies have failed, the states have j the Senate: that bv the sanction of two successive
that, the people will forget his acts, and give a blind
was again introduced in i credence to the professions which are made for him!
! His opposition to the right of the people to choose
which we now publish, shews that he carries the
Tight of a state to interfere, beyond this point.
I have long cherished a personal friendship for
Mr. Calhoun, a gentleman who is as much loved
by his acquaintance for those social virtues which
are tlie sources of our happiness in private life, as
he is admired by his fellow-citizens for those extra
ordinary in'ents which shed lustre over public life.
But no allbction for him could induce me to make
auv statement of his opinions variant from my sin-
-cere belief of them: nor has it power now to per
suade my assent to doctrines which are disapprov
ed by my deliberate judgment.

ders—as it shows the opinions of the second officer

cans and Gen. Jackson.” Not a word is hinted
about Mr. Crawford. Now, be honest for once,
and say: Had you not abandoned all hopes for Mr.
Crawford? If not, why did you drop han entirely
out of the speculations you were making: and alter
the Republican party, and the majority of electoral
votes, Lad placed Gen. Jackson so lar ahead of Mr.
Adams, why did you “conscientliously” prefer Mr.
Adams? Is this your boasted democracy—to op
pose the pop ular will and the democratic candidate.
But admit, that you did not adopt this sentiment;
have you not vilified Jackson and his friends in
Georgia? Was not your paper, in editorials, in
extracts, in communications, devoted ro this busi
ness? That’s the true issue. How will you avoid
it?—We will exhibit your attitudes. -■
1st. We charge you with harsh language against
Jackson, and bring the proof, (paper and date.)—
You make a pitiful evasion, by saying, you were in
New-York.
2d. For argument’s sake, we admit the impotent
evasion—anil shew that you have used and ex
tracted equally exceptionable language, after you
had. returned from New-Jfork. Ymi neither admit
nor deny your own language—hut make another
softy evasipn, by sayjpg that we had attributed
certain language to your own pen, wluch we only
s$id you had adopted—make a sweeping denial of it,
because we had mistaken a date—and very politely
charge us with “political lying”
3d. We triumphantly refute this gross charge;
and shew the perfect correspondence between your
own self-written, sentiments, and those adopted from
others—you then drop the scandalous charge of
“lying*—and say, we have “slandered” you—ac
cordingly to the old English rule, we suppose—
“the greater the truth, the greater the libel.” Do
you w onder that “the dogs hark” at you ?
We close by one more question: Do you remem
ber, when you were electioneering for Congress
last summer, that one of your old subscribers, who
quit von for the Recorder’s abuse of Jackson—upon
your telling him, you were then and always had been
the friend of Jackson—turned off anil replied—
Mister, you did not use to chat that icay?”
tion was again taken on the passage of the bill/
l ights of the General and State Governments.
It is well known that we have long entertained
great-regard for the private character, and high
respect lor the eminent talents, and many of the
political opinions, of the Vice-President. It is suf
ficient, however, to say, that we believe, if the sen
timents he has here expressed should be carried in
to practice, th°y would immediately produce a dis
solution of the government. So absurd are ail the
theories of this modern nullification, and so differ
ent tii-rir proposed applications to the evils complain
ed of, that scarcely any two of its advocates can
agree, as to what-are its true nature and tendency.
This very distrust and opposition among its friends,
argues, that it is a dangerous heresy. Surely, if
the creed were clear and well defined in its princi
ples, and sale in its practical operation, wc should
not hear ninety-nine out of a hundred of the Amer
ican people, lifting their voices against it—surely,
we ffoouid see it3 advocates embodying something
like co^wurrent and united opinions upon it. We
will only take two eminent examples. The opin
ions of George McDuffie and John Calhoun, in
times of political tranquility, are entitled to the very
highest respect; and, at all times, arc entitled to high
consideration. Yet, how do these distingirished
Statesmen stand upon this subject?—Mr. McDuffie,
the intimate, private and political friend of the Vice
President, in a late speed), declared that nullifica
tion was not a constitutional remedy—it was extra-
constitutional—that is ; a revolutionary right. Are
the people of the South ripe for a revolution against
their Government? Yet according to tins distin
guished gentleman, the crisis has arrived, at which
the sword may be drawn against brethren and fath
ers!—On the contrary, his friend and former pa
tron, Mr. Calhoun, thinks it a peaceable constitu
tional remedy—the only conservative constitutional
principle, for the States!—Here we have two bo
som friends, two great and elevated champions cf
this nullification, holding the most contrary qpin-
ions. Who then can reconcile such men? Whoj
indeed, when such its friends fail of concert, can
reconcile this doctrine, with the safety of the Re
lic —the whole republic—our glorious Union ?
How must the hearts of the friends of Union &:
State Rights in South Carolina fail within them,
when they see
vvere hailed as
entertaining opi
ion of their
We take pleasure however in saying, that we
are pleased with the spirit and manner in which
Mr. Calhoun has embodied his sentiments: and we
cannot but feel an assurance, that when the public
feeling shall have subsided, and more time is given
to this topic—the most important of the govern
ment—both his views, and Mr. McDuffie’s, will be
modified down to the true spirit of the old school
republicanism of 1801. There is no rant—no me
nacing—no fighting of wind-mills, in Mr. Calhoun’s
Expose. But what then ? We prefer to carry our
arm, though it rr.av ache a little, upon our own body
•—though we might find a surgeon who could am
putate it with great skill and dexterity. And, if
we are to bleed to death after the amputation, we
have no particular choice between the keen edged
fclado of well turned periods and ingenious argu
ment, and the bragadocio, butcher-like, strokes of
the rougher meat-axe of Nullification!
of the Government upon the relative power and and each party gave one more vote for, and one
more vote against the bill. The additional yeas are,
Messrs. Porter T, and Powell C: and the addition
al nays are, Messrs. Groover C, and Mangham T,
(Journals of Senate for 1S22, page 111.) In this
decisive year, two thirds of those who supported
the change, were members of the Clark party, and
two thirds of those who opposed and defeated the
bid, were members of the Troup party. Let this
important fact be remembered.
fn 1823, the same bill was again introduced: and
in that and the following years, it passed both
branches of the Legislature by constitutional ma
jorities: and was thus engrafted on the constitution.
In 1823, and in 1924, every Clark man in the Sen
ate, and every Clark man in the House of Repre
sentatives, except one in 1S24, voted in favor of the
bill: and in these two yearn it encountered not the
opposition of a single vote, except from the Troup
parly. In 1823, the nays in the Senate w r ere, Messrs.
Allen of Elbert T, Baker T, Beall T, Blackshear
T, Brown of Hancock T, Maugham T, Powers T,
Wimberly T, (Journals of the Senate lor 1923,
page 89.) In the same year, the nays in the House
of Representatives were, Messrs. Banks T, Den
mark T, Early T, Gilmore ef Tattnall T, Jones of
Camden T, Lazenby T, Scarlet T, Taylor T,
pect to astonish even '■‘the dogs. ,r The old gentle
man is not singular, however, in his grievance.
Richard the Third complained, that “the hogs bark
ed at him as he halted bv them.” It is said too,
that “a cat may look at a Ring”—and if “the dogs”
may bark at a lmmp-backed King—why not at a
“potent Senior,” in an awkward predicament?—
We said some time ago, that we expected we could
patch up our patient, so as to preserve him through
the dog days. Really We begin to feel some seri
ous apprehensions that our remedies will all fail.
In truth, we did not design to apply to him the
Knight of LaMancha’s remedy of “snow-water and
sand”—though we plainly see all its effects visible
from the “barking of the dogs”—and we plainly
foresee too, that il we do not speedily reach his dis
ease, it will be “a case”—and our patient be put not
only “where the dogs can’t bite him”—but even
where they can’t “bark at him.”
When, a few weeks ago, we charged him with
sentiments most harsh and unfriendly towards Gen.
Jackson in 1824—forsooth j the “Senior” was in
New- York, and had no hand in it. He thought
we were “barking up the wrong tree.” But the “lit
tle dogs” took the back track of the old Coon from
New-York, while he was trying to dodge—trailed
him, upon warm scent, into the Recorder office, in
Milledgevilie, up to the very editorial desk—and
mer did not recommend the reservation of the gold
mines. But it is certain that Gilmer did recom-

ANTI-TARIFF CONVENTION.-It has teen
proposed through the newspapers of the Union, to
hold a Convention at Philadelghia on the 30th of
September next, for the purpose of taking some
peaceful, but efficient measures, against the evils
of the Tariff under which the Southern interests
are labouring. There are none who are more wil
ling than ourselves—and we believe, we may say
—than our patrons—to adopt any measures consis
tent with the safety and peace of our government,
in resistance of the injurious effects of the American
system. And our correspondent, No Nullifier,
proposes a number of names to the Unibn and State
Rights Party of Georgia, from among whom Dele
gates should be chosen to this Convention. Of
all those names, except two, we can speak in terms
of the highest confidence, as gentlemen, of talents,
experience, and patriotism.
We hohi that the people are the legitimate source
of power in this Government—and that they
have the right, at all times, peaceably to assemble
and petition for, or demand, a redress of grievan
ces, as the occasion may require. We believe al
so that it is only by Convention, or delegation cho
sen in Convention, of the People, that this right can
he regularly and authoritatively exercised. We
therefore concur with our correspondent, that, if the
Union and State Rights Party of Georgia, as a
large and respectable portion of our population,
desire to be represented in the proposed Conven
tion, it should be done by their votes in county
Conventions, (as they are the most convenient.)—
We therefore suggest to our friends in the various
Counties, who may desire to l^e represented in said
Convention, to hold Conventions, on the first Mon
day in September, to choose delegates to the Phila
delphia Convention. We propose that time, be
cause the Courts of Ordinary convene on that day,
and it is therefore a convenient time. Any other
day would be as well, which would as well suit the
public convenience of the counties. And we sug
gest also to the people, the propriety of selecting
nine persons, corresponding with our voiue- in
Congress, to represent them in the Convention.—
Should any tiling be done, it ought to be done as
early as the time proposed. We request the chair
men and secretaries of such meetings as may be
held* to send us certificates of the gentlemen elect
ed, and we wall notify them of their appointments.
It is proper to inform our friends that meetings
of those opposed to ns in politics have been held at
Savannah and Athens^and that the following gen
tlemen have been appointed by them as delegatee
lo the Convention—to wit—John M. Berrien, A.
S. Clayton, John Cumming, William Gaston, Rich
ard Habersham, Alexander Telfair, William Cum
ming, William H. Torrance, Eli S. Shorter, James

FOR THE FEDERAL UNION.
Messrs. Editors.—Having understood that the Union
end- Slate Rights Party c f Georgia, are about to take
measures to be represented in the Anti-Tariff Conven-
lioi^o be holder, m Philadelphia, on the 30th September
next, for the purpose of taking some peaceable Constitu
tional remedy against the injurious operation of the Ta
riff’, and believing that the Representatives of the People
on such occasions can be properly made only by the peo
ple themselves, I respectfully submit the following names
to my lelloyr-citizens of the several counties, as fit and
proper persons to represent the Union and State Rights
Party in said Convention—rdJ of these gentlemen are the
old and consistent friends of Gen. Jackson :
William Schley of Richmond, Jolm A. Cmhhert ef
party are seen steadily and unostentatiously pursu- New England States, in choosing Mr. Adams.—
The mooe of choosino the Governor and
Electors.—In a late number, while speaking of the
Recorder, we used the following language; “He
and his friends happened for a series of years, to
oppose the Clark party in their exertions to give
the election of Governor to the people. He and
bis friends happened to oppose the exertions of the
Clark party, to give the election of Electors to the
people.” Of this the Recorder made no denial:
hut the Journal, which seems to believe itself a pil
lar of strength, advanced to the relief of its feeble
ally: and replyed to our remarks, in its Usual style
of uncourteous, and rude contradiction, and gross
abuse. In this reply the Journal claims for its par
ty, the principal, if not the exclusive honor of hav
ing effected those changes in the Government of
the country.
We know that these republican measures were
the favorite objects of the Clark party, fora consid-
ct&bie tijae before their adoption by the Legisla-
ing a republican practice
Here we enquire again: do our neighbours of
the Journal verily believe, thDtthe peopled Geor
gia are incapable of distinguishing between pro
fessions and practice?
In 1823, Allen B. Powell, a Clark man, introdu
ced iu the Senate, a resolution to ascertain the wish
of the people., in relation to the election of Electors
of President and Vice-President: which was a-
greed to. As the Journal correctly states, there
was a majority of 10,799, in favor of choosing Elec
tors by the people. On the passage of the bill in
troduced for this purpose, in 1824, the yeas and nays
were not recorded in the House of Representatives:
and we are therefore unable to ascertain the party

The Clark party in the Senate were unanimous
for this republican measure, while a majority ofthe
Troup party were opposed to it. The Clark par
ty formed a majority of those who supported the
hill, and bore it triumphantly over tbe opposition of
a majority of the Troup party. As usual, white
“Any body but Jackson,” &c
Why did the Recorder make tliis extract? The
reason is too plain to be disguised for a moment.
The very week before he made this extract, he had
said himself, that be “conscientiously” preferred
Adams to Jackson. It is evident, therefore, that
he was pleased with any combination that would
defeat Jackson. Hence, as lie had expressed his
preference for Adams over Jackson—a “conscienti
ous” preference too—he must, in conscience, have
been pleased with the prospect of their “coalescing
and co-operating.” He wished to see Jackson bea
ten—there’s the rub—and he preferred Adams to
him. Does the the shoe pinch?—You put it on
yourself?
But he asks, if it is credible, that when the pre
tensions of his favorite, Crawford, were so soontd
he decided, he should have adopted the extrava
gant sentiment that “Adams was the rock of our
salvation.” Yes; it is perfectly credible. His jw-
per had said before, that “no Georgian* who lelt
the spirit of a Georgian,” could entertain respect
for the character or services of Jackson. He was
in New York—but according to his own logic, he
is bound for every sentiment in his paper, whether
present or absent. He says we arc responsible for
Dr. Fort’s sentiments, because he owns the Federal
Union: of course he must be responsible for all that
appears in his own paper: especially the editorial.
But this is a blessed after-thought—though an un
fortunate one. The “Senior” very well knew, that
Mr. Crawford’s “pretensions” had.been settled long
before the 19th January, 1825. Had he not said,
only three weeks before, that the impression was
general, that Jackson was to be President? Had
you not, Mr. “Senior,” on the 18th January, 1825,
in the very article under consideration, left Mr.
Crawford out of the question and out of the “con
test?” You say, “we discover indication^ of *n

[for thk FEDERAL'TWION.]
Messrs. Editors.—In this free Republic, it is the privi
lege of any citizen, to become ft candidate, for mny ap
pointment. The Offices, from that of Governor, to that
of constable, are in the immediate gift of the people, it
is, therefore, the right of the people, to know, of any can
didate, what may be his opinions, upon any subject, on
which the candidate may be called to act, if he should
sueeeeed; or if the candidate should have Lave reasons to
believe that he is misrepresented on any subject, connec
ted with the* office he seeks, it i< his right, to make his
opinions known, in any wav he may think proper, that
will correct false impressions, that may have been made
to his prejudice. There remarks- have.been elicited by
die perusal of two different publications, that I have seen
in a paper printed at Athens, called the Athenian, who
the editor of this paper is, ©r what the character of his
paper for truth, and what influence it may have on the
community when it is published, f know not, (nor is it a
matter of any consequence to nty purpose) relative to
Thomas Haynes, Esq. now before the people of Georgia;
& candidate for Governor. Both fAiblications ire efforts,
to make Mr. Haynes appear contemptible; the latter
thrown into the vast collection of persons attended at
Athens during the commencement exercises, the better to
gratify the malignity of their author; but, it wa3 with
pleasure I witnessed the complete defeat of tliis effort to
injury a gentleman, by being frowfied down, by the in
dignant and insulted feelings of thtie, these publications
were expected to amtise. No dotmt this disgraceful ef
fort was made by some poltroon Who is or wishes to re
pose in the shade of the power of tljfe present Executive
officer, or whose tenure of office depends upon the re-elec
tion of the present Governor, and v|ho is offended be
cause Mr. Haynea vili not yield to titeeod of bis master.
