Judge Longs!reel—Danger to i’te Union party—
General Glascock.
Tiie course of Judge Lougstreet has, for some
tune, been calculated ;o excite both surprise
and regret. Educated, if I mistake not, an
ardent friend of the
time, advocated doctrines which necessari!
tend to its destruction. Reared in habits of
personal and political friendship with Mr.
Forsyth, and others, he has become their bitter
enemy. Actively opposed to the Union party
of Georgia, lie yet seeks their aid in consum
mating the political views of himself and his
friends. It is in reference to this last, that I
suspend my remarks oa Judge Clayton’s letter,
for the purpose of taking some notice of Judge
L- iligstreet.
Judge Longstrcet’seditorial ofthe lth March,
deserves the reprobation of all honest men: it
contains a plain, palpable attempt at political,
bribery. After a shameless repetition of tiie
current falsehood, that, in the distribution of
honors and emoluments, as I understand him,
the Clark men have ‘‘just exactly the crumbs
which the proselytes occasionally throw them
for peace sake, and no more;” the Judge in
quires, “But suppose you, (old Clark.men)

in the majority? And il" wo do not treat you
well, (by the way, the treating may have to
conic from the oilier side;) if we should be strong
enough to put on airs and not treat you we!!,
have)on not the safest and most honorable
retreat from us, that men ever had?” Here
then, is a distinct proposition to the old Clark
men, as I understand it to “unite” with the
“nullifiers,” hitherto so objectionable to them,
and an oilhr of better treatment in distributing
“the loaves and fishes,” for which tiie Judge
says nullifiers can so “patiently and good
hutnoredly wait.”
Il tins elibrt shall succeed: if this abominable
attempt at corruption, probably made without
reflecting on its character; if this vile attempt
shall not meet the indignation of the old Clark
party, I shall acknowledge that I know them
much less than I supposed.
Nor will the effort to operate o:i their fear*
be more successful: they will laugh to scorn the
vaunting declaration, that “every crack and
cranny of the Slate is filled with little nullifiers,
who will soon grow up and swarm down upon
diem like the third plague of Egypt, and eat
than up bodily!” The Judge will, therefore,
have still to comfort himselfand his friends with
the declaration, however fallacious, that “they
are not so anxious lor the loaves and fishes, but
tiiat they can wait patiently and good humored-
iy for the coining of that time.” It is vain that
he “invites,” the Clark men to a “coalition that
may avert the evil,” of “Van Buren’s election.”
They do mu consider it an evil: they know loo
well tiie value of the man who is so ably sus-
taining their principles, to throw him away at
the instance of their adversaries.
They will not venture in the support of a
mongrel electoral ticket of turbulent nullifiers,
wavering Union men, and wheedled Clark men.
Their present position has been gained by too
Tisthestar-spanirlcd banner,oh, long may

FEDERAL UNION.
MILI.EI)SEVILLE, APRIL 28, 183(5.
MARTIN VAN BUREN,
FOR PRESIDENT.
R. II. JOFINSON.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT.
NULLIFIERS CONVENTION.
-The
nullifiers, during the last winter, apponted die
first Monday in May, for holding a convention
in Millcdgeville, for the purpose of nominating
a ticket for electors of president and vice-pre
sident. As they have been attempting to se
duce some old Clark men from the Union par
ty, we think it probable, that they will endeav
or to consummate this insidious policy, bv
placing several of these old Clark men on their
electoral ticket. We trust that not one of our
old friends will allow himself to be cajoled by
the common enemy. The acceptance of such
a nomination will inevitably fasten on t'no mis
guided man, if there be any such, the distrust
and suspicion of the Union party. To expect
that a party will retain its kind affections for any
of its old members, who unites with its enemies
to effect its defeat, is to believe human nature
more forbearing and generous than wo have
ever found it. To any old Clark man who may
be nominated by the nullifiers, the question will
be propounded; “Do you desire hereafter to he
deemed a member of the Union party’?” A
prudent man will answer this question to him
self, before he determines to identify himself
with the nullifiers.
NULLIFIERS FRIENDS TO WEB-
STER OR FI\RRISON.—Tiie nullifiers la
bour hard to be thought the zealous champions
of the South. For this purpose they attempt to
firm a southern party. They profess to support
Judge White, because he is a southern man.—
Such policy, if adopted b v the southern states,
would prove fatal to their influence in the Union.
If a southern party be formed, it will give rise
to the formation of a northern party. If the
South determine to support none but a southern
man f>r the presidency, it will follow with per-
feet certainty, that the North will support none
but a northern man for that high office It par-
ties be formed on this basis of geographical
distinctions, its baleful influence will be extended
to ail the operations of the federal governnent.
that Judge White will receive the vote of
Mississippi.
In Louisiana, the last indication of public
sentiment is the election to tiie United States’
senate, of an opponent of Judge White, and a
friend of Van Buren. 'Rhcre has been no
movement to balance tUD strong indication a-
gainst Judge White.
In Illinois, the nomination of Judge White
was attempted, and failed iti both blanches of
e legislature. It is deemed certain, that Judge
White will not receive tiie vote of Illinois.
In South Carolina the nullifiers being in the
ascendency, they wd probably give the vote of
that State to Judge White; and it is to he supposed,
that tin* State pride of Tennessee will s cure to
him, her vote.
From this review it is manifest, that the vote
of Judge White in the electoral colleges, will be
very small; and it is probable, that it* the elec
tion shall not be decided by those bodies, he will
not obtain in them a vote sufficient to carry bis
name, as an available candidate, into the house
of representatives. S.iouid ne however succeed
to this extent, lie will exe ude either Webster or
Harrison. The friends of Webster look to
Harrison as their second choice; and the friends
ot Harrison look to Webster as their second
choice. Lithe event of the exclusion of either
oi tiiese men, his friends will rally to tlie stan
dard ot the other. That this combination will
abandon their chief, to advance to the presiden
cy a in.m who is known to be devoid of talent
and strength of character, and whose reputation
for political probity and consistency is blas'ed,
is utterly incredible. The whigs constitute a
very large proportion of tiie disjointed opposi
tion to Van Buren; attd they will not forsake a
leader in wnom they have confidence, and ex-
alt over him, the feeble tool of the nullifiers.—
The contest will lie between Van Buren and
the whig candidate; should tiie former be thrown
mto^i minority, the latter will be elected to the
presidency. Judge White has no hold on the
affections of any party; and after lie has serv
ed tiie purpose of his managers, as a poor tool
to weaken the vote of Van Buren in the South,
ne will be laid asid<* without regret or struggle.
Any vote winch ihose who use tiis name, may
succeed in withdrawing from Van Buren, will
but increase the ciia ices of Webster or Harri
son. Notwithstanding meii noisy professions
of exclusive devotion to the South, and theirin-
teinperate ix:sti!it\ to Van Buren, as a northern
man, the nullifiers- are in eff*ci labouring in tiie
cause of a northern man, w o is far more ob
jectionable to the South. Harrison is a feder
alist of the alien and sedition stamp; Webster is
a federalist of the Hartford Convention school,
fl irrison lias preserved a cautious silence in re
lation to the abolitionists; Webster voted against
rejecting the prayer- of the abolition petitions;
and these are tiie men, whose election is aided
by the nullifiers, in preference to Van Buren,
a firm and consistent democrat, who lias de
dared an uncompromising hostility to tnc t!e-
si"ns of the abolitionists

P. S. Is it possible that the miserable sophis
try of Judge Lougstreet can induce any con
siderablc number of old Clark men to abandon
a party of which they, with their old associates,
constitute an overwhelming majority, for the
purpose of coalescing with a party, of which
they would compose a small minority? With
their old associates, they can give direction to
the party to which they now belong; with the
nullifiers, they could not hope to exert a con
trolling influence; the nullifiers would always
outnumber thenij^/br/Afl body of the Clark parly
will preserve its connection with the Union
party.
On another occasion, and under another
name, I warned the Troup party of the danger
which threatened them. It was the warning
of a friend; but it was disregarded, and they are
now reaping the bitter fruits of their heed-
lessness.
I now warn the Union party of the danger
which threatens them. They had but a moderate
majority at the last elections. “The change of
a few thousand would deprive them of that
majority. So sure, then, as they allow themselves
to be da-ided by friead or fok, so sure they will
be thrown, even earlier than Judge Longstrect
predicts, into a weak and hopeless minority.”
The insidious bearing of Judge Longstreet in
relation to General Glascock will ba noticed in
a subsequent number. In the mean time, 1
venture the opinion, that it will fail of its
designs. That gentleman, like most of his
associa.es, is loo old to be caught with chaff.

SAMUEL HOUSTON,
Comma nder-in chiej'.
Col. Fannin evacuated Goliad on the 19th
March, by order of General Houston, Command
er-in-chief; his force was between *209 and D 40;
about 8 miles east of the furt they were sur
rounded bv the enemy witii 2009 cavalry and
infantry. The advance guard were cut off, 28
in number. The attack was made by the enemy
between 4 and 5 o’clock, PM. Fannin fought
them until late in the evening, and repulsed them
with a small loss on his part, while that of the
enemy was 190 killed! and many wounded.—
After the enemy had fallen back, Col. Fannin
entrenched himself during the night. On the
following morning the enemy showed a white
flag. Fannin went out to meet the commanding
general, who represented to colonel Fannin
that he knew the force opposed to him—that lie
was entrenched in an open prairie without water,
that he was surrounded, and that his men must
perish,that lie wished to show him quarters, Ajc.
A capitulation was made with the usual forms
of honorable warfare; Col. Fannin was to lay
down bis arms, and march back lo Goliad, where
they were to remain six oreiglit days as prison
ers of war, to be shipped to New Orleans from
Copano. They surrendered on these conditions,
on tiie 9tii day after their arrival at Goliad:
they were assured that a vessel was ready to
receive them at Copano, to embark for New
Orle.uis Col. F. marched out in file, the Mex
icans each side of him. They were marched
down about five miles, and the order was given
ta fire upon them. At the first fire nearlyevcry
man fell—a Mr. Hudd n of Texas and three
others succeed in reachingsome bushes 100 yards
distant. They were pursued by the enemy into
the high grass, where they lost sight of them.
Hudden remained in tiie grass all night; in f
morning he succeeded in making his escape.

TEXAS. In a communication to the go
vernor of Louisiana, dated April 8, 1830, Gen
eral Gaines states, that he has been informed
that Manual Flores, a Mexican Spaniard, com-
missioned by persons professing to act under the
authority of-the Mexican government, has en
deavoured to induce the Indians in the western
prairies, within the bounds of the United States,
to assist the Mexicans in the war of extermina
tion against t ho Tex tans; and that, passing up
the valley of the Red River, he has produced
much excitement among the Caddo Indians.—
The circumstances have induced General Gaines
to apply to the governor of Louisiana for a bri
gade, to consist of two or three battnlhons of
volunteers—as many mounted as practicable:
to keep the Indians from taking any part in the
hostilities.
In a letter from Fort Joseph, dated April 14th,
it is stated, that fifteen hundred Indians have
joined the Mexican army; that hundreds of
families are fl> ing from the ruthless savages; and
ihat all is confusion between I'ort Joseph and

IIe.vd-Qcaktkrs, West of Brazos,
March 31, 183G.
To the People of the East of Brazos:
My Encampment is preparing on the west of
Brazos, where I shall wait (or some supplies
and reinfercenfcnts. My inclination never has
been ?o cross the Brazoa, nnd'the false reports
From the Southern Recorder.
Mssscs Editors —1 am required to give a hriof state
ment of the conduct of the Baldwin Cavalry, while
at Ricolata under my command. In complying with
the request, I indulge neither personal nor unkind feelings,
for I am fully parsuaded that a large majority of those who
refused to be mustered into the service, would have j ielded
their objections to the regular set vice, could they have
anticipated the disapprobation of their fellow-citizens. It
is proper ihat a statement should be given, in order iha’ iln
conduct of the company should hs placed in correct colors,
and parts of it freed from the indiscriminate censure which
has been given in some instances lo the whole. We hit
Milledgn illeon the ‘Jtii of February, for Picolaia, as one of
the companies of a battalion, anticipated to ho formed at
Coleraine, upon the St. Marys. We waited two days and
a half, and hearing nothing of the other companies, we
resumed our march. In the evening of 111? second day
we reached Jacksonville upon the St. John’s river; hero, as
ut St. Marys, tlprewasa feeling of mutiny among soma ol'
tiie company. 1 here stated to the corps, that we left home
as volunteers, and that I would not disgrace my command
by reporting any member of the company to (ieneral Scot;
in strings; that those who were afraid or unwilling to go,
could lake the other end of the road. This allayed the
difficulty, and we proceeded to 1‘icolata.
Upon our arrival vve were received with the utmost kind
ness and attention; rations to men and horses were not
scrupulously measured to us, but were poured to us liberally
nnd bountifully. In addition to which, Oerr-ral Scott ten
dered us the honor of escorting him lo Fort Drane, and of
being upon the right wing of the army. We remained at
Picolaia five or six days without hearing front the oilier
companies of mounted men, during which time the m-n be
came prejudiced lo the life and discipline of regular soldiers,
arid were apprehensive that they would he under the imme
diate command of regular officers, and joined to some
battalion or command other than the one contemplated
when they left home. The rules and articles ol' war, under
which we were required to lie mustered into the service,
formed, with many, insurmountable objections. The men
stated that they left their homes for tiie defence of Florida
as volunteers, and that they were willing to give their servi
ces as such gratuitously, and to serve under General tseoit
for three months in any service which he might require,
but to be mustered in under the rules and articles of war,
they would not. To allay all difficulty and remove the
doubts of the most scrupulous, I called the company to
gether, and asked them, if their objections tu the rules and
articles of war, and their apprehension of being attached lo
some other command could be obviated, if 1 could then he
authorised to pledge i hem to the command of General Scott.
They v lanimously argreed to serve for three months if h. id
as a separate or independent company, and not required to
be mustered in under the discipline of regulars.
Under the hope that all difficulties were now removed,
and that with these stipulations vve could aci as a unit, 1
wrote the following loiter to General Scott.' Before vve
could however get an answer from the General, a part of the
company unceremoniously lelt tor horn?, under a denuncia
tion and threat of being reported to governor Schley. We
received a verbal answer from General Scott, through
Lieutenant Chambers, stating that until the arrival of the
oilier expected companies, vve should be held as a separate
company, but that his instructions and the law were im
perative upon the subject of our bein''mustered into the
service. Lieutenant Chambers visited our camp for the
purpose of mustering 1 he company into the service of the
United States, the nvn were paraded, and I addressed them
in the presence of Lieutenants Chambers and Humphreys
—twentj-eight were mustered in, end the others declined for
ill ;rra.ons previously given. I have heard that some mem
bers of the corps hove censured General 5>cott, fir impro
per treatment to ilia company—ibis is gross injustice, for
never was a company treated with more hind ness and atten
tion i ban were rho Baldwin Cavalry by this g illant and
distinguished officer.
In giving this brief stitem°nt, 1 have neither been minute
or p -rsonal, hut sufficiently descriptive, I trust, to give each
part of the company its true merit.
