Sparta, july 8th 1835. J)ear Sir—In this commtnunily. many charges are made and allcdgcd against the correctness and consistency of your political character, which if uucoutradicted and unrefuted must enevilably produce towards yourself .md friends, feelings &’ actions entirely and powerfully opposed to a successful canvass for that high office to which theceutial committee and the unanimous voice of the late Union Convention have called you.— Now in order that the public mind may he con vinced of the correctness or total falsity of those grave allegations already mentioned, permit me to state, in the most candid manner, what are their nature, and respectfully ask your early at tention to an explanation of this important sub ject—you are charged. 1st. With the sin of Federalism, in its most odious form, to wit: an opposition to the late war from principle, the consequent result of a belief of the correctness of the various doctrines of the federal party, and a hearty and active co operation with that party during that important pe jiod. That you refused tuiliuniinateyour house at the rejoicing had nt Louisville (where you then rc Jed) for the great and glorious victory of Or leans. That you sustained the*Indian Tassels in the citation case, in direct hostility to, aud con travention of ihe rights, the diguily and mvereiga- tyoftho Stato of Georgia. And iiually that you advocate those measures of the Genera' Government, the power to make roads aud c» nals, and to levy ami collect those excessive du- lies on the industry of the country, which has heretofore hurtheued the Southern people ami to which they have so long, both from interest ami policy, been most ardeutly opposed. Thus have I sir. iu the most unreserved man ner stated the oft repented accusations that are supposed to lie heavily against yottr political ortho- doxy, & which, again permit me to say, ifnot re futed, must prejudice you in the eyes of the people of Georgia, and thereby defeat the most sauguinn hopes aud expectations of our friends. Bardi n the liberty I have taken and believe me to bo yours Vory Respectfvlly, G. HOLSEY. and so, we thought ‘"sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.” The com i had passed sentence of death on Tas sels, and the sheriff'was ordered io execute him. The legislature was hound to presume that the Sheriff tvou'd do his duty, ami they had no legal or constitutional control ox’er him—and for this reason also I voted f<” Mr. Turner’s resolution declaring that we had confidence in the execu tive and judicial branches of the government of. Georgia, aud that therefore ttu legislative action was necessary—1 thought so theti—1 thi.uk so now—and I should now give a similar vote under similar circumstances—and In doing so, I was not guilty of doing an act “in direct coutraven- vention of the right, the diguity and sovereignty oftheStRio of Georgia;” on the contrary, I tho’t my rote on Mr Turner’s resolution was calculated to sustain aud support the “right, diguity ami th« sovereignty of the State of Georgia.” 4th. charge. The fourth and Inst charge has not an inch of ground to stand oil. There i» no act of my political life, nor expression of political o- pinion from which such inference can be drawii and therefore the author of this falsehood is with out even an excuse for it, Iu every opinion 1 have expressed, ami every vote I have given, I have manifested my opposition to a latitudinariati construction of the Federal constitution. In proof of this assertion. I refer you to my Digest of the English Statutes, pages 57 & 58, iu which I rep rebate the extent to which the doctrine of constructive powers is carried by some politicians, and this article was written by me as long ago as the year 1823. long before I had any public office or had a thought of eoteriug into a political life. And in further proof of my opinions. I send -you a copy of my speech iu congress, ou the de- posite question. I say then that 1 never held the doctrines ascribed to me, but have always beeu opposed to them—I have marked the passages in the speech which apply to this point. lliave now, my dearsir, answered allthecliar- gesyou have mentioned, and endeavored to prove to you, that they ate all, as I know them to be false. For the 1st. and .‘kl. charges, the authors may have some excuse, because, ever since 1807, when Mr. Jefferson commenced his restrictive system, I have been ea'lcil a federalist; though, in fact, I never have beeu one, i*> the sense in which it has been applied—And as I voted against any le gislative action in the case of Tassels, it has been supposed by some who do not understand the question, that I was opposed to the right of juris diction on the part of Georgia over the Cherokee country. But as l have said above, the report I drew up & made to the same legislature, in which I expressly claimed our right of jurisdiction, wiil prove conclusively that my vote in the Tassels enso has been misunderstood, or purposely mis- But the and as the fair iufereuee from them is that every .Southern Post Master is left “to look for his jus tification in the character of the papers detained >nd thecircutnstnutes wi:h which he is surrouud- cd,” and as no southern Post Master will shrink from thi- requisite responsibility, this channel may he considered against incendiary circulation.

Brasos.De Sanmiago, June 1,1835, Dear Sir—It is probable that many exaggerat ed accounts wiil he received in the United:8rates of the affray between the United States cutter Ingham an i the Mexican scoooner of war Monte zuma, I therefore take *he liberty of forwarding to you every important particular connected with the affair, of which I was an eye witness, believ ing it will he received by the numerous subscrib ers to your paper, and our countrymen iu general with great satisfaction / The United States cutter lughatn, Capt. Eze kiel Jones, who has for some time been cruising oil the coast of Mexico for the suppression of the slave trade, hove to off the mouth of the Rio Bras- sos, about ten days ago, and was visited by seve ral American citizens, who furnished him with some of the particulars relative to the capture of the American schooner Martha, aud the impris onment of her passengers hv the Mexican schoo ner of war Montezuma. Upon receiving thf formation. Capt. Jones rau iuto Matagorda and obtained the deposition of John S. Bartlett. Esq who was on board the Martha when captured; and while there also became acquainted with the ineffectual interposition of our Consul at mauded this heroic Commandant of the Monte- zumn, aod then apologised to our officers, pledg ing his word that the attack was unauthorised by him, at the same time assuring them that the A- merican citizens whose immediate liberty Capi. Jones bad demanded, were set at liberty the day heforo, which was known to me, aue confirmed by many American gentlemen present, but it is evident their liberation Was effected by the timely interference of Capt. Jones, for it was known to the Mexicali authorities here one week before their liberation, that Capt Jones had despatched Lieut. Moore io Matagorda for the purpose of ob taining the deposition of certain gentlemen that were on board the Martha when captured. At daylight the next morning, the Ingham’s boat left the harbor, bnt returned again in a few hours, with Lieut. Hariby, and a request from Captain Jones to the Captain of the Port to furnish him with a pilot, (they being entirely uii(ie r his con trol) for the purpose of bringing the Ingham into the harbor, which was not complied with, under the plea that the rabble were so excited in conse quence of the Montezuma having beeu driven in to port by tho Ingham, that serious consequences might arise if she came in ; he, no doubt, antici pated Capt. Jones’intention, which I have since heard, of entering the harbor ; mil demanding sa tisfaction for the cow ardly attack made on his of ficers and boat’s c.’ew, which can be viewed in no nt[;er light than an insult offerd the American flag. Upon Lieut. Harby’s finding he could not get a pilot. he left the harbor and returned on board ; the lugham then got under way and stood to the Fast, and the general impression here is, that she will attack the Montezuma, if she veutures out. The visit of this saucy little vessel here has brightened up every American countenance, and has giveu them confidence in themselves and their government; moro, it has convinced this govern ment that the fights aud liberties of American ci- tizens are not to be trifled with. The Montezuma is a much larger vessel than the Ingham, aud at the time he ran into the brea kers had at least fifty men on board, add to which a far superior battery; from what I can learn the Ingham mustered twenty four men, including her officers. The Mexicans feel an express iudigua- lion toward the gallant Commandant of the Mon tezuma, for running, after haviug fired on the lugham, and have represented his conduct to their government iu such way as will no doubt occa sion his dismission from the Mexicali Navy. It is due to Capt. Jones to say that he acted solely au his own responsibility, not having time or op portunity to receive any instructions from our go vernment on the subject; but he and his officers had proof that tligir countrymen were illegally seized and incarcerated in the filthy hold of the Montezuma, aud that.our Consul at Matatnoras had interposed, but in vain, in their behalf. Thus stood the affair when the lugham appeared off this port, and was fired on by the Montezuma. I conclude with sa>ing, that the conduct of Capt. Jones, his officers aud crew, have merited the hearty thanks of every American iu Mexico. The passengers referred to are Mr. Thomas J. Early aud Mr. Frauds S, Early, sous of the late Governor of Georgia; Mr. A. G. Tugua, of Courtland, Alabama; and Mr. Rufus Turnagc, of Memphis, Tennessee. Your ob’tterv’t. Origin of Lynch's Late.—As “Lyncn’s law” has recently become almost as general as it is proverbial, aud as the question is asked a hundred times a day. “What is Lynch’s law ?” it may be well to relate the following anecdote, which may serve as an answer.—N. Y. Com. Adv. In Washington couuty. Pa. many years ago, there lived a poaching vagabond, who, it was be lieved, inaiutnined himsplf and family by pilfer ing from the farmers around him. Though uni versally suspected he managed so adroitly as al ways to avoid detection. -At length a Mr. Van ^wearingeu laid the following trap for him, in which he was caught. Haviug a newly born calf, he concealed it from the neighbors for sev eral days—then rode over to the poacher’s, anti told him that a young calf had recently strayed to his farm, which he bail penned, and was anx ious to find the owner. The poacher asked him bow long be bad had it, its size and colour & being told, he said it was his, aud that it had gone off just at the time spoken of. Reing thus detected in a lie with design to defraud Van Swearingen reproached him with it, and toll him he would give him twenty-four hours to le?ve the neigh borhood. adding that if he remained longer he would prosecute him. The poacher only laugh ed at his threats while the latter went to consult with his neighbors as to what was to be done.— At the expiration of the twenty-fonr hours, five or six of them repaired to ihe poacher’s, whom they found perfectly unintimidnted. The party however proceeded to try him in due form !ie conduct of that party in their op- ; governed mo position to the war after it was declared. I cob- j arid 1 should not only be recreant to myself, but sidered the conduct of that party iu the Hartford j subject to imputations which would leave my Convention as inoral treason. 1 obtained the I character for patriotism, and consistency involv- name of federalist, because I was opposed to the j ed iu doubt, .were I to decline permitting nij restrictive system introduced by Mr. Jefferson, viz. : name to be used ns a candidate, when solicited Embargo, nou-intcrcourse ami non-importation , by such a respectable assemblage of men as coin- acts. I believed them wrong and injurious to the couutry when they were iu operatiou. and I be lieve so now. I was opposed to the Declaration of war, before the declaration was made, uot upon principle, because I always said that we had a- buml-mec of cause for war against England, but upon the the ground of expediency, and for these two reasons; first, because the country and public treasury had been much embarrassed andempov- oriohed by the embargo, 6ic.

I said publicly that I had been opposed to the passage of the act de claring war whilst the bill was before congress but that note, as war had been declared by the con stituted authorities of the nation, it was the duty of every good eitizeu' and patriot to support it. to nu honorable termination by all the menus in his jmwer.

To tho Post Master General we cbeefully award cred- 4 it for the spqndpesji and propriety of his views; in behalf of those unfortunate Americans who had been —— foe several weeks under hatches on board of the Montezuma. The Ingham left Mat agorda on the 12th inst. with the avowed inten tion of seeking the Montezuma and demanding their immediate release. .She accordingly ap peared off this port at daylight on 'the 14th inst. having fallen in about five miles io leeward of the Montezuma then lying at anchor outside of the bar ; she immediately got under way-upon des erving the Inglinin, boro down for and fired at her; at sunrise the “Star Spangled Banner” was displayed from the mast bend and Annin peak of the Ingham, at the same time letung slip her “dogs of war” at the Mexican, and tacked ship in chase of him. No sooner was the flash from the rugham’s guns perceived, than the Montezu ma hauled her wind and made all sail from her. By this time the numerous samtbilU in front of this port were literally covered with American citizens, whose heartfelt satisfaction on this oc casion cannot be deesrihed. For six boors the Ingham was driving under a heavy piess of sail, endeavoring to como up with the Moutezuma, & firing at short intervals at her to bring her to.— Twice the Mexican took heart and squared away for the Ingham. Ou those occasions the Inghams foresail was in the brails immediately, and top sail to the mast, gallantly waiting her approach ; but no soonei was this perceived hy the Mexicau than he would haul his wind again and rim from her. At 10 o’clock the Captain of the Port sent offa reinforcement of thirty'men. 1 Wi'b orders to defend the Montezuma and not disgrace‘the flag. We then exported a battle would ensue, but ima gine our surprise wlieu instead of running down for the saucy little Ingham, ‘ho put his'vessVPs head on shore, and run her into the breaker, grounded on the liar, and had to tlirew'pvertom* articles before he.could get her into theiharbor. The Ingham then came to in handsome style, a- bont a mile & a half to leeward of the breakers, and at the same distance from the town, and de spatched a boat for the shore-—on her arrival, the officers, l.ieutenauls Hnrby & Moore, waited up on the Captain of the Port, where they inet tho commanding officer of the Montezuma, and deli vered him a note from Captain limes, demand ing the immediate liberation of the American cit izens ; the officers then waited upon Gen. John J. Mason, an American citizen. They had been in the house but a few minutes with him, when Captain Roylen of t :, e American Brig Pharos, ami severe! other Americans entered and inform ed them that n guard of soldiers and armed rab ble, headed hy the rommaiidiug officer of the Montezuma, were marching down to take their boats and crew. The Lieutenants of the lugham rushed to their boat, sword iu haud, ordered the crew to arm themselves and siaud on their defeuce, which they did with an alacrity that has ever character ized the American tars on like occasions; one of *h« crew, by the uame of William Petersoc, seiz ed the American Ensign, and jumped ou shore, exclaimiog, “this is my protection;” this new movement brought tho soldiers and rabble to a stand, when a parley ensued between the Amer ican officers and this very gallaut Lieut. Com mandant, who ordered our oflieeis to put up their swords, which they refused, unless assured that they should nut again he molested : at this crisis the Captain of the Port came down, and ordered publication after his death, would fill several vol- tho soldiers to their quarter* and severely repri- ames of modern typography. The far West.—We learn Irom a paragraph iu tho St. Louis Republican of the 18th ult. that Mr. Campbell, of that city, returned to St Lou is on the previous Wednesday, from a trading excursion to tho Rocky Mountains. He had been absent upwards cf three months, and iu that period made a journey out aud home of ab out two thousand miles. Mr. Campbell passed through the territories of numerous tribes of In dians. but was uot molested by any of them. Ho represents that the traders aud trappers of that couutry have generally been successful, during the past winter. The only outrage of which ho had heard, was a rumor among the Snpke Indians, that a parly of Indians of au ad joining tribe, had murdered two of the trappers belonging to the New England expedition under Capt. -W yetb. The U. States Dragoons under Col. Dodge, were at the Grand Pawnee village, and were in excellcut health. They had formed an advanta geous treaty with the Pawnees, and were short ly to proceed to the Auriekaree village; a nation particularly hostile to our people, for the purpose of bolding a council with them. Mr. Campbell made a visit to this last named tribe, who received him hospitably, and inform ed him of the expected visit of the Dragoons, to whom they were preparing to give a friendly reception. He represents the tribe to number about 1000 warriors, with upwards of 400 lodges which were situated about 4 days travel from Col, Dodge’s encampment, at the Pawnee vill age.— Charleston Courier. From the New Yok Morning Herald. Col. Burr, we leant, new very much indis posed, and cannot be expected to live long. He is eighty years of age. He sent the other day for a particular friend of his early years, under the apprehension that be had not long a lease in the world; “I sent for you, ” said he, “ I sent for you now, because at aoother time we might merely look in each other’s faces but have no disposi tion to talk.” He then handed over to his friend several important manuscripts, part of them in tended for publication after his death. Among those papers there is a highly in'eres- ting journal which Col. Burr kept during his travels in Europe, after the unfortunate affair be tween him and Gen. Hamilton. For beauty of description shrewdness ofrAnark and originality of thougnt, we are informed that this journal is particularly pre-eminent. It will be recollected that Col. Burr, while in Earope moved in the highest circles, was intimate with the leading politicians of England and Krauco, and associated with them in private and in publie. Part of this journal is in the form of familial; letters written to the late Mrs. Alston, of whom a story was recently published, which in ^ol. Burr’s opinion, is ridiculous and improbable, The grace, beauty and feeling wMlrh are scattered through these letters, arc heightened from the circumstance of their being written to his beloved daughter. ' There is also, we learn, a large uumber of hig hly important letters from European correspond ents of high rank throwiug light ou his mysterious expedition to Mexico, which Mr, Jefferson turned so effectually aga : nsthim as treason against the United States. It appears that William Pitt, then the British Premier, was coucerued in that pro ject, and socially countenanced the attempt of Col. Burr. Engiaud was then at war with Spain; and the British Cabinet was very desirous of crippling their power in i.ho South American possessions. Of that period of his life, duriog which he was a formidable competitor with Mr. Jefferson for the Presidency, there is no letteror document re maining. That portion of Col. Burr’s eventful life resls, therefore, on his own personal character for truth and accuracy. Iu that respect he stands on precisely the same footing as Mr. Jefferson. The letters and memoirs of Jeft'ersou made a great seusation m the world when they appea red—those of Burr arc calculated, from their rev elations, touching important periods of history, to be even more interesting. * Tho papers aud documents already put by Col.

Homicide.—A case of painfnl interest was yes terday brought before tho Recorder, acting in be half of the Mayor. The particulars of the affair, as far as we could gather them, were as follows: On Thursday a child of Mr. Thos. Gillcan, living in the north-western part of the city, was missed hy the family, aud as she was only two and half years old, the bellman was employed, after search had been made iu the neighborhood. No clue to tho course of the child could be obtained until towards evening, when a little girl named Krause, who lived near Mr, Gillcan, told a little boy that if ho would not inform on her, sho would iell him where Elizabeth was. The promise Iptvmg been made, she said that in consequence of Elizabeth’s making a noise, she had put her into the well or vault of the privy. The boy- lost no time in making the circumstance known; seatch was m >de and the dead body of the child drawn up ; it had been stripped nearly naked, and had fas tened round the waist, a rope several feet long. The child Krause does not deny the act, but we understand that she says that Elizabeth came into the house and asked for bread and butter, aud that after she bad been supplied, she con tinued to make a noise amt cried a good deal. In order to intimidate her, the prisoner tied a rope around her, aud lowered her into the well, when tho ropo slipped from her hand and the deceased dropped to the bottom. She, the prisoner, be ing unable to rescue the deceased, became alarm ed, and was afraid to call for help. Tho parents of the prisoner were absent pn their usual busi ness, and bad left her to take care of an infant. The Recorder of course committed the girl, leaviug the question of “intention” and responsi bility to another tribunal.—Philn. U. S. Gazette. "Washington. July 11, 1834.

The While Banner —It is a fact kuoivn in Su tural Philosophy, that the combination of all co lors produces White. “The White Banner” at it has been proudly called, is then a fit symbol for the heterogeneous masses that compose the advocates of Judge White. In their constitution there is a mixture of every political hue aud complexion from the high toued Federalist, “dyed in the wool,” to the modern nuilitier,with his palmetto banner, and tri-colored badse.— Each of these, though as discordant iu sentiment as day ami uight, vet under the potent influence of mntual interests, are made to unite and blend together so harmoniously, that like tho colon of the rainbow, we cannot tell where oue cad be;- ins, or the other ends. “Black spirits aud red, blue spirits aud grey”—“ebony and topaz,” aod every party color that nas ever marked the pa ges of our political history, nrb hero assembled and united. The philosophical fact to which ivc have re ferred, lias always appeared to us strange and mysterious. But “stranger than this, than thu>c. all,” is the fact of so many discordant tn&sM meeting end mingling together, ef»o many vari ous and totally dissimilar colors forming om: grand united hue, and that that hive should be White. It is so however, and ihe only course for the people to pursue, is like sir Isaac New ton. when decomposing light, to dissolve theiru- nion, and thereby to reduce each one to its prim itive darkness aud insignificance.—t la" of tie Union. trary opinion to au extent deserving consideration, is entertained in any part of the United States. The charges therefore, to which you have had tho goodness to cnll my attention, that T “am in favor of an interference hy Congress in manumit ting your slave property.” is destitute of fonuda- tion. So far from it, I do not see on what au thority the General Goverumeut could interfere, without a change of the constitution, even at the instance of either or of all the slave-holding States.

Iu Chiua. white is used, because they believe the dead are in hea ven. tho place of purity. In Egypt yellow is used, because it represents tho decaying of trees and flowers, which become yellow as they die a- way. In Eiliiopin, brown is used, because it de notes the coloi ofthe earth from whence wo came, aud to which we return. In some parts of Tur key, blue is used, because it represents the sky, where they hope the dead is gone; but in other parts, purple ami violet, because being a mixture of black aud blue, it represents, as it were, sor row on one side, aud hopeou tho other.
