CRrorgfa POLITICAL. Amongst I lie ov.

This suit of reasoning evidences tho shifts- to which individuals will resort, to advance a favor ite ruea>ure, or to .promote a party object. It would.'wo should suppose, requite a new sort of logic to convince any individual, that a poor man v. i o had to collect, tfr to earn three or four dol lar.:. v mild l;o greatly injured, if he should indeed 1 o i.b!ig< d to receive- that amount in silver, bf too intrinsic vnlqe'of whicli tlicrt) would bo no do,tin. in jir< fereuce to receiving it in One- or Two Dollar Bills ; the actual value of which he might not -o clearly know. We have seen some persons who had a few small bills of the late Bank of .vl-ieon—and even of the Merchants’,& Planters’ Batik of this'place, who,would- not feel prettily. injured, if they-cofild even now receive', thr silver for their, bills, in place of having to keep them Id tlieir pocket hooks, as evidences of the /'confidence placed jn the pcomises-of those institu tions—-and who tvould not have had those small bills, Had nothing below Five.Dcllars in paper been in ci’.vu! lidu when they received th’ctn.-— To those, however, who do fnit in reality like the law, it might he observed, 'ttuit.it was passcd.by tho t.cgisl : ure bf .Georgia, and though approve,! by Gov. Lvuipkiu, ha cbuld not have passed it, littd it not first received thg ((auction of the Sen ate and House of Representatives,' and passed lib tit tboso branched, before, it .wds presented, for the F.xcentivo Signature. The actual effect and inll icuce of 1 lie law. is yet to Ho tested-—if it is in strumental in occasioning atf extensive circulation of .Specie in our Slate, we hardly believe that any “poorfciaii” will stiller in 'couscqucncc of it. Itiany a poor mati'may suffer, because he cannot got cnou :h of it; but Li- pecuniary'cirtuinslau- ces will not be improved, or his bnnk.biHs multi- piied, or*Ids specie change Iesscued, in conse quence of thec.action of Mr. Crawford in prefer ence to Air. LuinpWn ;-noT have we any belief thru those who- introduce “poor men” into their ^ electioneering.publications, liave any other soli citude about them, than to secure their votes for theif-.nvn purposes. Wo hopo that both tho pbor aiiJ’lhsrtch will give votes enough for Mr. 'Lump kin? on the first Monday Iff next month', to ensure ki-tre election; and it it isfonnd thatthe lav. pro- hilii'jilg the ctrru)ntiou of Bunk Bills below Five Dollar*. lrtd better he altered, to as not to permit any holow Three Dollars to circulate, it will he iu the power of the Legislature to mnko the al- tciortion ; but we will venture to assert that there will be no alt ration in this respect in couse- cucttce of tli : l ; i tiou i.f either of tho Candid ates in preference to the. other.—A'. .H (i me tie. ed abroad through oui land, to tlie destruction of. social happiness, and. m the endengermeut of tht- permanent.peaceofsociety. So subtle arc tin contrivances of these sowers of discord, tl.ai without constant caution and watchfulness or. your part, they may. like the ptrince of evil, suc ceed iu deceiving ‘•even some of the elect.” Not content with endeavouring to cajole you into their nullification net, by an exhibition' of their' 1 own hideous livery, they have finely attempted in attract your attention by holding out the, ha biliments of pence.

If tliis man. ever was a “darker;" his doctriues prove him to be one no .louger.— Like' Seititaji, he has sided with the enemies .of hi^ country—and like himfhns no claim to ycrur confidence.
