TRLEGRAPH,
ftlA&Oag, Ga.
THURSO, t F, SEP rEMBER 25, 1834.
The prescut is a very important period in llte
history of our country, and the serious attention
of every fricud of our free institutions, is chal
lenged for their maintainauce and security.
There is a faction in our midst, who are bent
on the destruction of our present system of gov-
cniment; aud if running, and intrigue, and art,
and falsehood, can accomplish it, we have much
to fear.
With our present political institutions, we be
lieve the people arc, and have abundant reason
toiic, entirely satisfied. Under their fostering
inllueuce. have we as a people, enjoyed unequal
led happiness and prosperity, for more thau fifty
years. Our persous mid properties are 9i-cured,
our rights are guaranteed and protected; aud
under his own vine and figtree, every man en
joys the fruits of his labor, aud there is none to
molest or make him afraid. Every one is on a
perfect level with his neighbor, and uone can
say ‘4 nm greater aud better than thou.” We
have just and equal laws; and when from the
changes of lime, or our changing relations with
each other, they become such as uot to suit ex'
artly, our circumstances, we cau at all times
alter them.
Then of what have we to complain? Fellow
citizens, we warn you against the machinations
oflhnso who are eudeavoriug to weaheu your
confidence in the goveruineut of your choice.
It is a good government; and those who would
overthrow it, cannot propose to you a better.
Whcu they tell you it robs and oppresses you,
believe them not; for youenjoy to the fullest extent
the product of your labors, aud there is no tax-
gatherer’s, no exciseman's baud in your pockets
to abstract your profits w ithout your consent.
Shew yourselves worthy then of the great hap
piness you enjoy, and come forward with one
heart aud one mind, on the present momentous
occasion, and support the government which
secures to yon so much.
It is not because one man is a Clark man, or
aTroup man, a Union man or a Nullificr. that
wo claim for him a vote. No, this is n rime
which calls for a more cxiendcd, a more liberal
principle of action. This is a time when mere
party feeling should he merged iu that disintcr-
sted love of country, which seeks to a«ivance
the publie weal, eveu by the sacrifice of the
most cherished schemes of personal advantage
or private ambition. Let the people then rally
to the polls, and give their suffrages to those in
dividuals who are assuredly the friends of the
institutions of their country.
my, to affect the memory of the distinguished
dead.
The Messenger is altogether mistaken, if he
supposes that the Telegraph has become in th°
least “exasperated” at the “reptaled triumphs of
the Constitutionalists.” In regard to the feath
ered biped to whom he alludes, it is very possi
ble he may speak “confidently" and “knowing
ly not being blessed with that familiar iutim-
ncy with those cackling politicians, which the
position of the Messenger may enable him to sup
port, it is very likely ho may more fully uudor-
staud their feelings thau we cau pretend to do.
But for ourselves, w e utterly disclaim any exas
peration at tho triumphs of the constitutionalists;
on thecoutrary those triumphs have been our joy
and our boast. Witness our exultation at their
gloi ions success in old Chatham, and their sig
nal victory iu Houston. Exasperation indeed !
Why they have been a cordial to us, animating
our zeal to new efforts, and stimulating our flag,
ging industry with a foretaste of that still more
glorious triumph that awaits i,s in October! Aud
so far from our clamor or renown haviug explod

fraid I shall intrude—so good bye.
PAUL PRY.
The compliment which the Messenger has fish
ed out of the columns of a late Telegraph, has
more claims on his sympathy, than he was prob
ably aware of; for in truth he owe3 it more to
tho kindness of our devil, than to our own gene
rosity. Iu the word we ourselves had made use
of in the manuscript, we intended nothing more
than the perpetration of a pun; but the devil
saved us from that enormity aud tempered dowo
our wit iuto a teuder compliment ; and after the
gratitude evinced by the Messenger, we can do
no more than to let it pass.

JOS. CULPEPPER, \
It is not at ail surprising that the old aud per
severing enemies of Mr. Jefferson, those who re
viled him iu ’98, aud have continued to misrep
resent his principles, and calumniate his charac
ter ever since, should now bo wiiliug enough to
admit the fact of his nullification. It cannot as
tonish us to find that those who hated him while
living, should be willing to encourage new slan
ders to blacken his memory no.v that he is dead.
And that such should eagerly reiterate the charge
of Mr. Jefferson’s Nullification, was to have been
expected. They objected to the Virginia aud
Kentucky Resolutions, when they were suppos
ed to mean \vhat Mr. Madison explained them to
mean, in his report of ’99, and his letter of 1830;
but when .Mr. Calhoun found out that his own
Nullification was bottomed oil these resolutions,
then these old revilers gave new force and co
gency to their objections, and were rejoiced at
the opportunity of abusing the memory of Jcffer
son, not only for what he was, but for all that
Calltouti and his adherruts imputed him to be!
Such might have been expected.
But that the real or pretended friends of Mr.
Jeffersou, should repeat aud endorse over these
calumnies and slanders, is a matter of deep re
gret. Aud that the old and defunct libels of Mr.
Jefferson's declared enemies, should be revived
by his friends, for the purpose of showing what
his principles were, is certainly to us a now and
strange piocccdiug. We have I.ecn in the habit
of lookiug to a man’s own professions, aud to his
practice under them, as the best evidence of his
doctrines. Friends will ofteu exaggerate,, and
enemies will misrepresent and pervert. But the
individual himself may be presumed to under
stand what be professes, &. if bis practice comes
up to his profession, wo may have full cuufidcncc
in his sincerity.
What better evidence then, cm? be sought, of
Mr. JeflVrson’s principles, thau his own declara
tions, reduced to practice through tho whole
course of his administration ? Yet to discredit
this direct and positive testimony, a writer in tho
last Messenger revives a forgotten libel on the
departed Statesman. Mr. Humphrey Marshall,
of Kentucky, an avowed federalist, an avowed
enemy of Mr. Jefferson, accuses him among otb-.
cr heinous enormities, of being a nullificr! Now
what better could be expected from a political
enemy ? But that the Messenger’s correspond
ent, under the mask of friendship to Mr. Jeffer
sou, should, to subserve his own purpose, repub
lic the vile libel on tho benefactor of his country,
is worthy of severe reprehension. We should
he cautious how we admit the statements of po
litical enemies, to affect tho characters of distin
guished Stntcsmeu. Ill-would it bodo to the re
putation of any distinguished character of the
present day, if the statements of his political cn_
CI >iies, were to be taken as the sure test of his
principles. Wo should.be still moro cautious

Messrs. Bartletts—It is with deep regret
that I inform you thatourold friend, and true pa
triot, Phiueas Oliver, was shot down iu the streets
of Perry, by John V. Price, a boy Nullificr. The
times, sirs, in this county are truly alarming. A
great excitement is prevailing, aud I know uot to
what extent it may be carried by infuriated par-
tizans. Oliver was shot on the Gih, and for sev
eral days was expected to recover; hut his death
is uow hourly anticipated. Great antipathy has
been displayed against Oliver by the uulfifiers
ever since he gave his toast on the 4th July a-
gainst Caihouii, &c. There is not much doubt
but that there were accessories before the fact, &
who will he dealt with according to law. For
the present I shall forbear saying any thiug more
on this subject, as it will all come up for judicial
investigation. NEAR PERRY.

Messrs. Editors—Hope I don’t intrude; wish
to express my thanks to the Messenger for the
highly meritorious notice last week, of my para
graph a week or two ago, concerning a difliicul-
ty I got iuto by his using “acceptible” about Jef
ferson’s Nullification. 1 was mightily pothered ;
didn’t know what to make of it; thought Edi
tors always read what they wrote after ’twos
printed, to see if the devil had done it well, be
fore it went out to the world. But 1 don’t wish
to intrude, you know: just popped in, the back
way here ; resolved to see jt out; mighty queer;
don’t exactly understand it; past my compre
hension; such a display—so much learuing—such
praise—such exalted ideas—such magnificent
comparisons—so much kindness, candor, gener
osity—such felicity of expression—ALL bewil
der me. Yet never mind ; 'twill all come right:
Bathing like it; no gibing, joking, low buffooury,
vuigar missiles—hut lofty sentiments. Then
what noble animals are brought in to testify his
associations with rcspe< tahility! With what ruse
he brings them to bis aid ! One would almost
swear he had made them his intimate compan
ions. What peculiar adaptation in their natures
to himself. For instance, where is a happier
emblem of innocence, usefulness, good nature,
unobtrusivciicss, justice, kindness, the very throne
of the virtues, than the Sheep ? Its very coun
tenance indicates its disposition. What hut the
best heart in the world would have suggested such
n comparison ? Aud then again, what more no
ble beautiful, majestic, hardy, persevering, stern
ly resolved, and universally-prized animal than
the jack ?—a ••ioug eared thing !” How beauti
ful those appendages to the organs of hearing!
Such distinctness, too. from oth r animals of rn-
arinn ! So unlike n mule,' stubborn, degraded,
hated, vicious, CoW irdiy, mean, fit only for-the
vilest purposes, lowest drudgery, and nicuial of
fices—adapted to slaves, but unfit for freemen — '
like the fruits resulting from the uniou of law &
e sic, the scourge of the people, destroying their
hit. tightening their purses, corroding their
vitals, c orrupri ig their prim iples. inflaming their
passions, am! dealing their minds—the offspring
of venality and cqriuptiou—a mongrel—justly
hated, scorned, despised nnd contemned. And
then what another spleudid example of inno
cence, gravity, loquaciousness, usefulness, pleas
ure, noi-to-do-withoutabTen -ss, instanced in the
GOOSE ! ! And hi> exact knowledge, too, of
the properties, powers, and dimensions of its
brain, that seat of learning and knowledge, wis
dom and piety, goodness and gentleness—all that
cunobics and exalts—ivoubl lead one to the con
clusion. that a long and acti w e life had been do-
voted to that important branch of nuatomy—dis
secting and analysing the brain of a goose !—
What a useful, important, and EXALTING
occupation ! What an exteusivo field for the ex
ercise of those faculties, which in such a won
derful degree he possesses !
But so it is ; must believe it; though who’d
have thought it ? so much good—no evil—gath
ered into one cranium !—purity of language, fair
ness of expression—no low cavilling, abuse,
blackguard, gasconade, burleiquo. anger, habit

“The Union must be preserved.”
(Continued from our last.)
Now again to Ca/houn and his inconsistencies
—the father adopted of nullification. Compare
his acts of 1816 an i 1832-3. His conduct of late
1 apprehend, is familiar with all. See extracts
from his debates iu Congress of ’16 in a debate
for the protection ol manufactures ; see too, him
uow nullifying his own acts. See his words—
“He was no manufacturer. He was not from
that portiou of our country supposed to be pecul
iarly interested. Coming as he did from the
south, having in commou with his immediate
constituents, no iuterest but iu the cultivation of
the soil, iu selling its products high, aud buying
cheap the wants aud conveniences of life, no mo
tives could uo attributed to him but such as were
disinterested.' He had asserted that the subject
before them was connected with the security of
tho country—susceptible of the clearest proof-
manufactures fostered, the fanner wiil find a.rea-
dy market for his suiplus produce, and wb»t is
almost of equal consequence, a certain and cheap
supply of all his wants. His prosperity will dif
fuse itself in almost every class iu tue communi
ty. The arm of government will be uerved ; Sc

independence of the uation will be greatly iu

thout, but within all may be quiet and ease. It
produced au interest strictly American, as much
so as agriculture, iu which it had the advantage
commerce and navigation. The country from
this will derive much advautage. Again, it is
calculated to biud together more closely our wide
ly-spread Republic.” What I after all Shis pre
diction, which has proven true after fifteen years'
experience, say that this law is unconstitutional,
aud charge the whole North aided by the South,
with corruption—the whole yeomaury of that

dollar for you now pay but 25 cents. Where

coutrol the destinies of twenty three—aud oven
a less uumber. By way of illustration, keeping
hold of the principal & varying in point of num
ber only : to say the doctrine of nullification, as
they tell me, is’that a majority by their Repre
sentatives in a State is binding upon tho minori
ty: but that a majoritj* of the Uuited States by
their Representatives is not binding on the mi
nority. Now here is the case, according to this
new logic : by way of carrying out tho princi
ple, to say we will suppose one State has but one
hundred voters , fifty one shall be nullifiers, and
beiug a majority of course govern the minority,
being forty uine, and the fifty oue can nullify the
laws of fifteen millions of freemen, as also the
forty nine. Great God! how preposterous! how
unreasonable, how absurd ! Where tho right or
the power of propelling this machine ? Away
wit^ this machinery called nullification, vvhicli
destroys the wheat aud saves the chaff; which
grinds for the grist and leaves the toll; which
kills the sick aud weakens the healthv—a seed
that will not grow on American soil, not conge
nial to our clime; neither will it gender or incu
bate in our Americau eagle—a plant the produc
tion of munarchs, and raised in hot beds by arti
ficial means—a vegotab’o requiring too many in
gredients to make it palatablo. ,o procure which
like the ludian’s gun would cost more than it
would come ^o, or the Frenchman’s horse for
which he paid a large price, & finding the cheat
upou him and disposed to make tho best of a bad’
bargain had him sold at auction, for ten dollars;
the^ixponses were eleven, which will be the re
sult of this new machine—a clear shave all a
round. ’But they are attempting to briug it to
bear upou another principle—that of the Indian
who thought medicine that would make a sick
man well would make a well man better. Aud
few, and 1 am glad but few, are disposed to tr.\
tho experiment—which made the poor Indian
sick, aud after which he would eat nothing but
wbat he was familiar with its operation, which
will doubtless produce the same result by an ox
periment on this new machine—null#cation. - ’ try.
I will therefore oulv add,, that to you is be

Men generally exert •be<nsel'*s in proportion
to the hopeUssneM "f their cause. When they
feel secure of their success, but little exertion is
necessary. But whenThey ate convinced that
they are in a bad cause, nnd that their cause is
desperate, they redouble their exertions, and he
sitate not to use dissimulation, aud if need be.
downright falsehood.
These thoughtt were suggested by the rec«nt
conductor tho uullifiers iu attempting to influence
the elections. Jt is not surprising tjiat men of
common seuso should be ashamed of such prin
ciples as* form the base of Ntllificatiun ; but to
see the paius they take to dis.emble, aud yet
cliug to their pernicious doctrine, is really nmus-
ug. When they think it will serve their purp -se
they will deny being uullifiers. Not only in this
county but in the adjoining, have thcr candid
ates done so. and claimed to be Union men—try
ing to mask their Jacobinicll principle- and de
ceive the people ns to their real sentiments. A-
fiaid to avow being Nullifiers. wh’ie at heart they
are warm supporters ot the measure. I K y

The above ueeds uo explanatory remarks; it is
its utvu commentator. In some communities it
might bo believed; but in a couutry like this,
win re all have the means of information, to be
lieve it would be a severer dose thau many could
stand- Why, the very fact that he used the lan-
gu go lie there did, publicly, aud carried bis head
on bis shoulders twenty four hours afterwards, is
a confutation of the assertion. In making those
remarks, the speaker i_ust have labored under
the grossest ignorance, or considered that the
charity of his hearers would overlook all other
deficiencies, if it savored well of Nuliificaiiou.—
Citizens of Georgia I how long will you be dup
ed by such bare-faced assertions ? Are you in
deed slavos? Don’t you fcol your fetters on
your feet, and hear the'clanking of your chains,
as you move your oppressed body from oue side
of your prison to the other ? If you do not, re
flect, and have au eye oil those who tell you of
these oppressions. This IS a crisis.

The Nullifiers.term tbeTJniou men “submiss-
ionists.*’ It is well. Ask them why ? they will
tell you, because they submit to the Tariff. Ve
ry true ; and don’t tho brave men, Nullifiers, sub
mit to it too, praj’? VVliat then, is the difference?
Why this : the Union men submit with a good
grace—without any whimporing—aud make them-
strives as comfortable as possible. They have
ton much good sense, when they soc a prospect
_of achieving what they desire at no distant pt-ri-
od, to la*h themselves into a ridiculous fury, that
they know will be useless, because they cau’t get
it now. While ou the other hand the Nullifiers
submit with a whine, a snarl, or a d n, like a
school boy wheu his master tells him to do a
thing, ho wbiues and don’t wput to; he is again
told to do it ot bo flogged—he wou’t, lie’ll be
<1—(I if he will, till he has to do it and gets
flogged too. Now who’d prefer the latter mode
to the former? COMMON SENSE.

The low rtate of the river, which has preven
ted the forwarding of Cotton, connected with the
difficulty which has lately existed, of gettiug goods
wagoned from Savauuah, has tended to depress
our market generally, and more especially to keen
down the prico ofCottou. Tills article howcvft
has come forward pretty freely during the prist
week, notwithstanding t|ieso discoursing cir
