But as ttynt cannot be, rro feel a disposition to wave our individual preferences aud objections to tho choice of the majority ol the party—for the “good of our coun try”—as well as for tho good of our party. The Herald professes to he a “devoted friend of Andrew Jackson and tho leading measures of hi!

Jf Mr Van IJurcn is elect ed, the policy and measures of Andrew Jackson will be carried out.

The Herald also insists, in urging its claims upon tho Union party, that it “advocates all the essential principles of the Union party"— still, if it uses its energies to weaken and de stroy our party, wo cannot look upon it in any other light than an eucuiy. Gen. Gaines found many of the Sumiuoles dressed in the uniforms of the murdered U. S. soldiers, with U.

Nor can we believe, that any one, who really feels an interest in the wel fare and prosperity of the present Union party— any regard for its principles, can desire it. The State was then divided between the Clark party and the Troup party. The Chirk party was de feated In that year in its choice for Governor; aud though it succeeded iu carryiug a majority into the Legislature, how did*’ the operation of its princijffes succeed ? Not at all. Its acts wore condemned, signally condemned hy the people. The party was defeated entirely the succeeding year ; and continued to he defeated, so long as it adhered to its main principles, viz : oppposi. lion to the caucus system. Whether the caucus system is, in tbo abstract, altogether right or not, mu*f he left to the decis ion of Time. It has been found expedient; the sages of the Revolution resorted toil; (among whom it originated, about the timo of the great Boston Tea party;) It was adhered to hy the Republican party iu the days of Jefferson; aud our opponents have long jbeen acquainted with its use. They surely will not object to its being rcsortcdjto hy us. Unless Old Clark men prefer being in tho mi nority, (which we caqnot believe,) they would uot certainly have purties stand as they did in 25. Why then recur to the struggles of that day ? All the old landmarks have been oblitera ted ; old badges aro lost; atjd old names forgot ten, iu the now combinations aud divisions that have since been made. 1 leuco, we see among the Nullifiors many old Clark men, aud arnoug the Uniou party, many old Troupers. •Forgive aud lorget,’ is a command as sacred in politics as in morals.

They nuw propose the following: Your committee find that by the ordinance referred t<K that two-lhirdr of one-half the proceeds of the sale of the 70 half-acre lots was to be appropriated and gi ven to the trustees of the Bibb Academy, that the a- tnouut of sales was $ , payable, otic-ihtrdcasb, the balauce in four annual instalments.
