ihlli'wed hv the circulation of another

.. lilt’d system of operations, the regular
plan of the campaign. While Mr. Van
h uren tan have tin 1 aul of truth, he must
triumph; his enemies have learnt that

perversion, ot

Journal of the -'Dili «>f September is eon-
I lined one of these characteristic misrep-
n ... ntatious, under the follow ing offensive
'“One pledge already falsified.”—

eratic party, that it he was elected presi
dent, he would follow the footsteps of Gen
eral Jackson.” His destiny has caused him
to evince that he could not do so if he
di mid try. He cannot follow in the foot-
sl ,.|,s of his great cx.implar, even when
he is before'him, and what will he do
when the greatest and best retires to the
Hermita-ie. He promised to carry out
:)„• principles of his administration, and
immediately, almost before the ink is dry
that blazoned the pledge, lo' we find
him opposed to one of the principles of
General Jackson’s administration, and a
very important one too! General Jack-
son approved and signed tlic Dcpositc Bill,
i,j|l was an administration measure,
but Mr. Van Burcn now declares he is
ojtposcd to it!'
In this paragraph two assertions are
made; first, that the Dcpositc BUI is an
administration measure; second, that Mr.
Van Huron declares that, lie is opposed to
this hill; and neither of these assertions
accords with the truth.
The president had repeatedly recoin-
mended to congress the passage of a law
regulating the deposites in the various
Slate hunks; and to a bill having this ob
ject, his enemies in the senate, during the
Iasi session, attached clauses for distri-
hitting the surplus revenue among the
States. The president believed such
distribution to he incompatible with the
constitution, and determined to put his
trfii on the hill, should it pass the repre
sentative branch. Hut in the house the
clauses for distribution were modified so
as in require that the surplus revenue
should he deposited with the State govern
ment, subject to be withdrawn, instead of
being given to them. The objections of
the president being removed, he approved
and signed the bill; but in the shape in
which it passed, it teas not. an administra
tion urn sure.
\or has Mr. Van Burcn declared that,
he is opposed to it. The vice-president,
in speaking of this bill, in his letter to
Sherrod W illiams, employs the following
language;
“Th»* I'.re^tienl had for several sessions called flit' atten
tion of congress lo ihin subjrt without effect: and the op-
|»o*iii«tn party in congress, by availing itself of partial di

does the vice-president declare

<• Nap Hof the Journal is an act of
er.-h'irti'dpable injustice, expressed in
i‘""gd r e language, by which the
'in,,',afialize their opposition to the
r.a.i an| en t. It is in direct contradic-
- * FI. declaration of Mr. Van Burcn,
<' n: Y^ i * n \ r l in the two last sentences of the
<l'"*o|,f’ln. In the very passage which
is rsj *i|pj^ihe ground of the Journal’s ac-
eiis:uion, he ileelares that if the bill had
been presented to him for its passage or
rejection, lie would, like General Jack-
son, have approved and signed it. The
see >nd assertion of the Journal, that Mr.
^ an Burcn declares he is opposed to the dc-
posite bill, is contrary to the fact. It is by
such misrepresentation, that Mr. Van
Burcn is assailed. Truth is his shield.
MR. VAN BUltli.V.—Why should lie not
■»*i cloctoil president of the United States? To
his question the nullifiers answer,
1st. I!jeause he is inclined to favor the abo
litionists.
2nd. Because lie believes that congress fins
the constitutional power to abolish slavery in the
Distirct of Columbia.
3rd. Because lie voted for free-netrro suffrage
in New York.
4th. Because lie is a northern man.
We will examine all of these objections, as
our convenience will permit—the first at this
time.
'A hat is the proof that Mr. Van Burcn is in
clined to favor the abolitionists? We ask our
readers to suppose this to be a case on trial in
court, and that they are the jury by whom the
verdict is to be made up. What iact can be
adduced to support the charge? A man’s in-
elinations or intentions are to be ascertained, by
bis declarations, or by his actions, or bv the ac
tions ot his friends, whose opinions and course
cl conduct lie may he supposed to influence.—
Has Mr. \ an Burcn ever expressed a sentiment
favorable to the abolitionists? We aver that he
has not; and we challenge his accusers toe.xhi.
a t proof in support of their accusation. His
declarations are a'i of an opposite character.—
He avows himself the irreconcilunbie and un-
)adding opponent of the abolitionists. Hear
hh language in his letter to Mr. Gwyn, and
Cls letter in reply to the inquiries of certain
gentlemen of North Carolina.
Mr. Tan Burcn s Letter to Mr. Gwyti, in 1331.
“My
opinions on the subject of the power of congress
over slave property in tha southern States, are so well mi-
< erslood by my friends, that I am surprised llnu an attempt
** unwise upon tin public respecting them should he hazard-
eC * ^^subject is, in my judgment, exclusively under the
will fmd evidence, not to support the accusation,
but to prove it false.
What act of Mr. Van B uren sustains the
charge? VVe recollect but one act of the vice-
president, having any relation to this subject.—
A b.ll was introduced in the United States’ sen
ate to prevent the transmission by mail, of the
incendiary publications of the abolitionists into
the slavcholding States. This bill was regard-
ed by many men, as an interference with the
privacy and sanctity of the mail, and a viola
tion of the freedom of the press; and on these
grounds it was opposed by some upright and
patriotic senators. In what seemed to be the
decisive vote in the senate, there was a tie; and
on the vice-president devolved the important du
ty of deciding the fate of the bill. In the dis-
charge of this delicate and responsible duty,
lie did not falter; far from it; with a serene and
noble independence, he promptly decided for the
passage of the bill. Here then is a decisive
act ot Mr. Van Buren, on a most delicate
question, in its most responsible form, in direct
hostility to the wishes, the designs, and the set-
tied policy of the abolitionists. By this cast,
ing vote, promptly and fearlessly given, he
made a public and splendid demonstration, that
he is a friend to the rights of the South, and a
determined enemy to the pernicious interference
of the fanatics.
We challenge his accusers to exhibit a single
act, in which he has aided or countenanced the
abolitionists. Phis they* cannot do. There is
no such act in his life. If those Georgians who
accuse him of an inclination to favor the aboli
tionists, were now acting as a jury on this ques
tion, and sworn to render a true verdict accord
ing to the evidence, we believe they would on
their oaths declare, that the charge is contrary
to evidence, and that Mr. Van Buren is an open
and decided enemy of the abolitionists.
A man’s opinions may’ sometimes be known,
by examining the conduct of those with whom
he associates; and over whom he may be sup
posed to exert some influence. If Mr. Van
Buren’s friends arc abolitionists, this fact will
furnish some reason to suspect, that lie has
adopted the feelings and sentiments of the de
tested fanatics. But his friends arc the open
and active opponents of the abolitionists.—
Among the whigsare some men who condemn
and oppose the mad attempts of the abolitionists;
but wherever, throughout the non-slnvelmlding
States, we find any man zealously, actively,
efficiently engaged in opposing the mischievous
crew, he is a friend of Mr. Van Buren. Go.
vernor Mn rev earnestly recommended to the le
gislature of New York the adoption of such
measures as would prevent their interference
with the South; and this gentleman is the per
sonal and political friend of Mr. Van Burcn.—
Delegates to a convention of abolitionists had
assembled at Utica, in the State of New York;
and without being permitted to transact any
business, they were dispersed hv another per.
sonal and political friend of Air. Van Buren,
Samuel Bearddey, esquire, attorney general
for the State of New York. These are two
out of a multitude of cases in which his friends
have acted a strong and energetic part in coun
teracting and suppresing the abolitionists. I’he
evidence deduced from these facts is strengthen
ed by the additional and corresponding facts,
that the active and influential abolitionists arc
all zealously opposed to the election of Mr.
Van Buren. The most presumptuous and reck
less abolitionist in congress is Slade, a repre
sentative from Vermont; and on his re-election
a few weeks ago, the whig presses of the North
shouted in triumph, because he had beaten a
friend of Mr. Van Burcn. Is not this a strong
sign that the abolitionists are unfriendly to Mr.
Van Burcn, and that he is opposed 10 them?—
Arthur Tapp;in, the arch-abolitionist, the Satan
of these wicked spirits, has denounced Mr. Van
Buren as a corrupt supporter of the South; and,
as etiairmnn ot the executive committee of the
anti-slavery society, he has published an address
to the abolitionists, in which he endeavors to ex
asperate them against the vice-president and
his friends. Is not the rancorous opposition of
the abolitionists to Mr. Van Buren, clear and
conclusive evidence that he is opposed to their
schemes, and that they cannot succeed, while he
retains his popularity and influence?
Let us briefly review our reflections. Mr.
Van Buren has never made a declaration, or
performed an action in favor of the abolition
ists. He has publicly and repeatedly condemn
ed their conduct, and declared himself their un-
compromising enemy; and on a most important
and responsible occasion, by bis casting vote
for a measure which was designed to check and
control them, he put to hazird his popularity
and reputation; and his friends, those whom he
might be expected to influence, have earnestly,
and vigorously, and successfully encountered
and repressed the abolitionists; while these in
their turn denounce and oppose, the vice-presi
dent and his friends. The evidence conclusive
ly establishes the fact, that he is the uncompro-
mising enemy of the abolitionists, and a firm
and steadfast friend to the rights of the South.
If his opponents themselves were constituted a
jurv, and sworn to render a true verdict accord,
ing to the evidence, as hottest men they would
be constrained to declare that the accusation
against him is unfounded and malicious. We
ask them, in sober earnestness, what code can
justify a departure from the obligations of truth,
and a resort to the arts of misrepresentation and
falsehood, in order to gratify a personal preju
dice, or to secure tiie ascendancy of a party?
Judge White cannot he elected; and his sup
porters are laboring to secure the elevation of
Harrison, a federalist and an abolitionist. Bui
if he could be elected, he would enter upon the
chief magistracy, surrounded by Webster, and
Clay, and Calhoun, and dependent on them for
counsel and support. Betw’een these discordant,
ambitious, and hostile rivals, what system of
government would be adopted? Confusion,
worse confounded! Where would then be any
security for the rights of the South?
i i.2, bat many of them have left the town in
consequence of the hostile atiilude of the Indi
ans, who are said to be so numerous that some
do not consider the town sale now, notwithstand
ing the presence of the United States’ troops.
“Yesterday evening the roaring of artillery,
and the sound of martini music announced the
arrival of General Houston and stair. He
seems to have suffered in health, and the
wound he received at the battle af San Jacinto
confines him still to his crutches.
“Reports said a week or two since that ten
thousand Mexicans were on their march to Tex
as, but, like most reports of the kind, it proved
to be incorrect, though it is yet believed that
about two thousand are embodied at Metamoras.
The Te xian army is daily increasing in
strength and confidence, and will doubtless be
able successfully to oppose any force that can
be brought against them.”

la Mr. Van Bureu’s dedataUous cur ju-y
The village of Clinlon in this State lias been
thrown into no little excitement, by the unex
pected arrival of a personage calling himself
JESSE L. BUNCKLEY. It is known, that
between eleven and twelve years ago, a young
man of this name in consequence of some ju
venile irregularities, suddenly left his connex
ions (who were among the most wealthy and re
spectable in the up country,) and was after
wards heard of in New Orleans. Afterwards,
letters containing particulars of hi» death in
that city were received by his mother, no fur
ther intelligence of him was heard for many
years, and he was by every one given up as
dead. The sodden appearance of one there
fore, calling himself the long absent liunckley,
and claiming bis property, lias as might have
been expected, created no little speculation.—
Many (among whom are his mother!) believe
him an impostor; but we believe a majority of
the community acknowledge him as the genuine
Simon Bure.— .If; :con Telegraph, Gth iast.

THE MAN-SELLING WHIG CANDI-
DATE AGAIN.
As the whigs attempt a defence of Harrison’s
conduct in voting to retain a section of a law
providing for the sale of white nten into bon
dage, we subjoin from the Ueystone, a certified
extract from the journals of the senate of Ohio,
in reference to the matter in question, with an
extract from the speech of general Robert Lu-
cas, now the governor of Ohio, in favor of
striking out the section advocated by the whig
candidate. It will be sceen that governor Lu-
cas then took the same views of the proposition,
which is now taken of it by the democratic
press throughout the country-
[Extract from the journa! of the senate of Ohio.]
Tuesday, January 30, 1821.
“Senate met pursuant to adjournment.
“The senate then, according to the order of
the day, resolved itself into a committee of the
whole upon the “bill from the house entitled an
net for the punishment of certain offences there
in named,” and after some time spent there
in, the speaker, (Allen Tremble) resumed the
chair.
“Mr. Fitbian then moved to strike out the
19th section of the said bill, as follows;
11 Be it further enacted, that when any person
shall be imprisoned either upon execution or
otherwise, for the non payment of fine, or costs,
or both, it shall be lawful for the sheriff"of the
county to sell out such person as servant to any
person within this Stale, who will pay the whole
amount due, for the shortest period of service,
of which sale public notice shall be given at
least ten days, and upon such sale being effect
ed, the sheriff* shall give to the purchaser a cer
tificate thereof, and deliver over the prisoner to
him, from winch time the relation between
such purchaser and the prisoner shall be that
of M vsrmt and servant un'ol the time ot ser
vice expires; and (or injuries done by cither,
reincJy shall be had in the same manner as is,
or ntav be provided by law in the case of mas
ter and apprentices. But nothing herein con
tained shall be construed lo prevent persons be
ing discharged from imprisonment according to
the provisions of the thirty-seventh section of
the act to which this is supplementary, it’it shall
beconsidered expedient to grant such discharge:
Pmvivod, the court in pronouncing any such
person convicted under the act, or the act to
which this is supplementary, may direct such
person or persons to be detained in prison until
the fine be paid, or the person or persons other,
wise disposed of agreeably to the provisions of
this act.”
“Which motion was decided in the affirma
tive; yeas 20, nays 12.
“And the yeas and nays being required, those
who voted in the affirmative were, Messrs.
Bcardsly, Brown, Filhian, Gass, Heaton, Jenn
ings, Lucas, Mathews, M‘Laugh!in, M-.Miltan,

Secretary of the State's Office,
Columbus, Ohio, September 10, 1830.
I certify that the foregoing is a true and ac
curate copy from the journals of the Senate of
the State of Ohio, being the first session of the
19th general asssambly held at Columbus, De
cember 1820.
CARTER P. HARLIN,
Secretary of State.
General Robert Lucas, now the democratic
governor of Ohio, was then member of the se
nate, and in the true spirit of patriotism, made
the following remarks in the support of the mo
tion made by Mr. Fitbian, of Champaign, to
strike out the 19th section, a true copy of whose
speech, as then published, is below.
Mr. Lucas said that he would vote for the
motion of the gentleman from the Champaign,
(Mr. Filhian,) to strike out the section. He
considered it not only a violation of that provi
sion of the constitution of the State, which de
clares that there shall be neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude in this State, but it contains
principles of the most revolting character. It
declares that a person who is unable to pay a
fine, or costs, shall be liable to be sold; and
that the individual who will pay the fine and cost
for the shortest time of service, shall be the
purchaser.
What will bo the operation of this section?”
said Mr. Lucas. “We will suppose a case:—
suppose one of the Patriots of the Revolution
should be insulted by an enemy of his country,
or a tory, who had fought against him in the
struggle for liberty, and he should be provoked
to commit an assault, in defending the honor of
his government—by our laws he might be pros
ecuted and fined. He is poor, and unable to
pay the fine. What would follow under the
provisions of this section? He is publicly AD-
VER PISED FOR SALE—lie is dragged by
the crier along the streets—the man who pro
voked the assault, bids the amount of the fine
and costs for the shortest term of service, sav
flirty years THE OLD PATRIOT IS
KNOCKED OFF TO IIIS PROSECUTOR,
and driven in triumph into BONDAGE. Any
unfortunate citizen, who, in an unguarded mo
ment, might be thus subjected to the payment
of a fine, woidd be liable to be SOLD under
this section, and DRIVEN INTO SLAVERY
BY A FREE NEGRO, should such a Negro
choose lo become the purchaser. This would
be revolting to every principle of humanity,
and a disgrace to the age in which we live.”
The question was then taken on Mr. P’ithian’s
motion, and decided in the affirmative—yeas
twenty, navs twelve. So this obnoxious pro
vision, VOTED FOR AND DEFENDED
BY WILLIAM II. HARRISON, docs not
now disgrace the Statute Book of Ohio.
It is urged by Harrison and Ins friends that
this act bad no relation to the collection of
debts, and that it was solely intended to operate
for the punishment ol offences against the State,
md to form part of the criminal law of Ohio.
This being conceded, the remarks of Governor
Lucas, made at the time, and to the face of ge
neral Harrison, and of those wh- voted with
him are, we presume, to be taken as decisive
as to what would have been the effect of the
section, as relates to breaches of the pence, if
it had not been indignantly rejected by the se
nate. It is likewise admitted by the western
whig papers that it would also have applied to
contempts of court. But enough—by Harri
son’s own admission it is granted that he voted
for selling white men into slavery, a law as odi
ous as it was unconstitutional. Yet this is the
whig and anti-masonic candidate for the Presi
dency—this is the man whose car was dragged
a few days since by whig voters through the
streets of Philadelphia? Truly, the manner in
which the servility was exhibited was appro
priate!
More Indian Depredations.—The mail
carrier from Tallahasse, who arrived last
Saturday evening, states that on Friday
last, he met a man nearly naked, and al
most dead with exhaustion near Ocean
Pond, between Aligator and Suwanee.—
This man, named Hunter, said that on
Wednesday morning of last week, about
fifty Indians attacked a house near Or
ange Pond, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Up-
tegrove and himself, all advanced in age.
Mr. Uptegrove was killed. Mrs. Upte-
grove (led from the house through a back
door. Mr- Hunter says he saw four or
five Indians running close after her, hav
ing shot at her without stopping her flight.
She was undoubtedly taken and killed by
her pursuers.
Mr. Hunter managed to escape to a
pond, and got into it as far as he could.
The Indians surrounded the pond, and re
mained on guard for him till near day
light the next morning, when they left,
doubtles supposing their intended victim
was drowned. Near twenty four hours
did Mr. Hunter remain in the water
with no part but his face out, so that he
could breathe. In this way he eluded
their vigilance, and after the departure of
the Indians, he left the pond and endea
vored to make his way to the nearest
post, when he was found by the mail
rider He had been without food from
Wednesday morning till Friday.
The mail-rider assisted Mr. Hunter
along till meeting with two individuals go
ing to Alligator Fort, who look the suffer
ing man under their protection.
Some gentlemen arriving in town yes
terday report that the bodies of Mr. and
Mrs. Uptegrove have been found. Hers
was in a pond where she had been shot.—
His was mangled, and seven or eight bul
let holes through it. A light wood knot
was Iving near with hair and blood on it,
with which the Indians had heat out his
brains.
This is another insta nce in our vicinity
of Indians committing barbarities upon
females.
It is supposed by some, that those In
dians were Creeks, on their way to join
the Seminoles. Others thinks them Semi-
noles, and the same band that committed
the outrage on Mrs. Johns. This is quite
probable as that, party made a singular
escaoe. The passes by Kingley’s Pond,
were guarded by m tjor Pierce’s com
mand, and in fact he strung his men from
Black creek almost to the Santa Fe
Bridge, and yet no trail of that party was
discovered. They may, on finding thjir
way guarded, have turned their course
northward, in order to direct attention in
that direction so that the\' might mako
their escape southward.—Jacksonville Cou
rier, 2St/i uli.
