MACON OEOftGIA TEIE6HAPH POLITICAL. the conspiracy. U o apprehend iho American people have nottalcod the trouble to inquire iut« tho conspiracy iu progrts apaiujt tho right of stiffrago. By a few pl.iin .acts we propose to demonstrate that the " <*’gs do out expect to reach power hy the eou- seut of tho voters of the country. Thoir object is. to divide and distract the great body of the peo ple], aod thus render them incapable of choosing the President and Vico President. By runniug '.ebstcr in the North. Harrison in the West, and y bite in the. South, they propose to effect divi sions, that \rill^ throw tho electiou of President <tmi Vice President into Congress. This is the settled purpose of the Opposition. They know that, ou general principles, they would be defea ted, and for this reason they assume the garb of KuUifins iu tho South, that of Whigs in the West, that of Blue Light Federalism in tho North, and that of Ami-Musoury u here ver that fanatical trilie are *011 the asccudaut.” They do not inlcuJ, if they can possibly prevent it, to permit auotlier President to be chosen by the American people. They are now engaged iu their first tegular effort to brenk down the right of suffrage; and they expect to accomplish their objert by directing public attentiou to mon rather thnu to principles, tuid keeping so largo a number of candidates for President in tho field, as to prevent a majority ol the froemeu of the nation from concentrating their suffrages in fnvor of any oue. The scheme is ba>ed ou the supposition, that the people may easily be inado the dupes of tho Federal party, if they cannot be made converts to its doctrines.— The projectors of it manifestly believed their plot would gull the mass, and if they were conect in that belief, and can uow succeed ou the plan of the division adopted, we do not perceive why they may not, in each succeeding canvass, pre vent nn election by the people, and causo the choice of Presideut to devolve ou Congress.— Their course of action is uow opeti—their scheme is understood hy every voter of sound mind.— They do aot pretend that they calculate ou sue cess, except by •■intrigue, bargaiu and manage ment.” iu Congress. They have uot takeu the trouble oven to nominate electors in a sufficient number of States, to giro either of their candi dates a majority. If all the Harrison electors uow before the pco- plo were to be chosen, they could not elect a President. if all the White electors nominated were to be elected, they could uot elect Judge White. If all the Webster electors were to succeed, they could only give him the votes of .Massachu setts. These are uadeniable facts; aud they prove, beyond cavil, that the Oppositiou are engaged in a dilibnrate and systematic attempt to prevent uu election by the people. Harrison electors are aomioatedio tho follow ing States to men make them hurra for Webster, Harrison am! White—for blue light Federalism, for Nulli fication, for Whigism and nuti-Masonry—whaido they know or care about principle ?” This is the laugunge of the Opposition ; and if they can now make good their estimate, so far as it is based n the gullibility of the voters of the confederacy, lliey will find uo difficulty hereaf ter iu playing the same game over again—and thus conveit Congress into a second Polish Diet. We agaiu say, the question is. •• shall the peo r-Ie or Congress elect the President.”—Louisville Advertiser. THE LATE ELECTIONS. As usual, the Opposition presses are full of ex ultation about tho preliminary elections; pre cisely the same shout was raised about the In diana, Illinois, Missouri and North Caroliua elec tions, in 1834 In North Caroliua tbo same sort of State management has in a great degree pre vailed ; and, indeed, worse as to Congress, for the Federalists have had seven out of the twelve Congressmen, as well as tho Governor, up to the few months of Governor tipaight’s time. They got the Governor again; but ns the Democratic electoral ticket prevailed hy a haudsome majori ty in tho lime of Governor Swain, so it will we doubt not, in that of the coalition Gov., Dudley. Tho rruth is. wheu the ingenious managers and tacticians of the Opposition set to work for them- selves in their respective counties, they manage to neutralize the groat principle of national poli tics with the Democracy, while they niaka tho party feeling of their own class operate to the utmost in their favor. They never lose a Federal vote in a connty election, and yet gain many Re publicans, upon the score that they can serve them in local matters, withoutinjury to their po litical principles. It is uot to be diguised, however, that activity ou one side, and the inertness (growing out of assured success) oil the other, has done much mis chief to the cause of Republicanism in North Ca rolina. Upon examining the polls iu many coun ties, where the Federalists have succeeded, wc discover that their ucrual strength has not in creased, but that the vote for the Republican tic ket has fallen off. The Federal party through out the Union lies iu the towns and the iuflticuce they exert in their viciuity. The towns and their troops are always at the polls.

But were all electoral candi dates favorablo to him elected, they would bo a minority, and could not make a President Har rison running with a view to being elected by the people.

Will the people inke time lo inquire seriously into this subject? It is unquestionably ouo of deep aud vital importance. VVe have demonstrated that Opposition candidates aro soliciting support .from tho peoplo, wheu neither of them ex pects to be elected by the people.—They look .to Congress, and rely on the corrupt bargains which may be inado in that body. They have left themselves no room to hope for success thro’ any oilier channel. As neither Harrison, While nor Webster, have electoral candidates enough in the field to make a President, (if nil their candidates suc ceed, ) it caunot be denied that they arc contri buting their aid to force the election of President in’o Congress. We do not charge them with onginniing tho conspiracy against the right of suffrage. Webster, it appears, would get out of the scrapo if ho could—but the lVhigs of Massacbuxsotts cling to him, as their only hope in the State elections. It may therefore bo said, that Webster is used against his consent; but White and Harrison aro willing instruracuis iu- the bauds of Clay, Calhoun, and Bell, of Tennes see ; the object olxhis triumvirate is, to prevent an election by the people, to destroy tho efficacy of th»rignt of suffVige, by substituting Congressional for popular elections. •» The important question for the people to de cide, at the approaching election,.is not, whether they do or do not prefer Mr. VatfRjiren, but who ever they are willing to surrender the right <of ’electing a President.' That is the* question.-^- .The existing 9tato of things makes ft tbo ques-' ,,-lion. *. V V. , f • JFhroe Opposition or Whig candidates ’aro iu tho field; and neither can expect to boelectcd by' the people; no ouo of them hasa sufficient num- rler'orehjctornlcandidates nominated. For whaj purpose, then, are they soliciting votes? Thoir frieud* say, tho primary object is to defeat Vnu ■Bureti—but their aim is, 111 reality, <0 prevent a popular election, Mr. Olay is not personally hostile to Mr. Van Buren——so far from it, the two genilomcn are on terms of social iotimacy jind-fricidly intercourse. The same may liesaid -of Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Bell. Indeed both were political as well as.-personal friends of Mr. Van JJttrcn, until they deserted tbo great democratic party. We make thoso statements to shtnv, that the desire of tbo triumvirate to defenl Mr. Van Rnrridid not originate in personal hostility— that their object is to prevent the will of tho pco- Hrdo. in ref'renbo to the choice of Presideut nud Vice Presideut, from being carried Into effect— •h.it their energies are directod, not against Mr. Tjiu fiurt>!i, lint against a popnlur e!c« ti0h and if&cieot exerci<c of the right of suffrage enthusiasm of a great party question, to bring out the militia of the country to meet the train bands of Federalism- j. , In the late contest iu North Caroliua. wo be- lievo the falsehoods of tbe Oppositiou on the sensitive topic of the negroes, had considerable effect in preventing the Democracy of the coun try from turning out; the federalists have reveng cd themselves on Mr. Vau Burcu. fur hulking their designs on this subject, by attributing their otvn inclinations to him. Wo will specify some particulars : First, in regard to negro suffrage.—The Fede ral parly have been notoriously iu favor of free negro suffrage all over tbo Union, and for an ob- viousreasou. Thelowestaud most degraded vo ters, who aro destitute of property, are always subject to the monied aristocracy. They hire them aud command their votes. Hence it is that in Boston, iu Portland, aud other Northern cities, where the free blacks vote, tboy go en masse for the federal party. General Fessenden, it will bo remembered, in the contested elections in his quarter, has attended the meetings of tbe uegroes aud led tbe black troops to the polls for Federalism, precisely as the British led them to battle Inst war. In Portland they wero indebted for their triumph to the blocks in oue of the hard est contested conflicts. In North Carolina, where the free blacks voted until last year, the federal ists always commanded the mass of their votes, and some of them opposed the chauge iu the tnw constitution, which deprived them of tho nghtof suffrage. In the New York Convention, the Fecioralisu.Jir.Ki.tG, Van Vechten, Spen cer, aud iudeed all the present White, Webs ter and Harrison men then in the New-York Convention, were iu favor of putting the free blacks 011 a footing with the whites as to tile right of suffrage. Mr. Van Bureu was opposed to it. lie took an effectual step to deprive the federal party of tho pauper blacks, for which they fought so anxiously in convention. He proposed that while the freehold property qualification of fifty dollars should be done away with as to the whites, a freehold property qualification of $250 ns to free colored persons should be adopted. This practically excluded the whole negro vote iu the State. There are not fifty such negro freehold ers in tbe State The fcdoral party, on the oc casion to which we allude, finding it to be Mr. Van Burea’s design to oxcludo tho groes in this way, opposed it bitterly; aud tho same who were in favor of a property qualifica tion us to the whites, opposed it as to tho blacks. Finding they could not prevail iu litis day, they took another tack, aud proposed universal suf frage for white mid black, under tho hope that it would disgust the people aud itiditce them to re ject tho reformed constitution. Mr. Van Buren opposed this. He suggested the scheme of tho general white suffrage at present enjoyed, and the exclusion of the blacks by a freehold qualifi cation, which, while it had the effect of prevent ing the Federalists from usiug the votes of their hirelings, also deprived them of tbo argument that property was taxed without being represen ted. This was the ground of principle they menul to take against the Constitution, when it caine before the people ; and they hoped to pie vent its adoption, Tho course taken by Mr. Var Bureu cut them from this pretext,carried tho Con stitutinn before the people,and virtually extirpated the free black suffrage, which previously had been enjoyed on an equality with the whites. For do ing this, and foiling the Federalists of his own State, the Federalists of North Caroliua cry out ngaiust him, as if he ho had adopted their own feelings, for free Mark suffrage on an equality with the whites. 2. Iu the same spirit thoy prejudiced many bo nest democrats against Mr. Van Buren. by call iug him an Abolitionist; yet tho Nuliificrs got up tho slave excitement to cover their retreat, uuder tho compromise with Clay. McDuffio and iho rest hinted at it in their orations. The day after the repeal of thf nullification ordiuauce was pub lished iu the Telegraph, Green announced tho publication of the. Emancipator in Now York pud forthwith broached the abolition dispute, in which ho whs answered back by his friends of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Fisher af New York, who got subscribers for his extra' Tele graph among the people of tho North. These Northern coalitiou editors took one side, Green tho other ; nud it was kept between them until Clay nudBiddlo pul an cud to embryo abolition pa nic, by tho great bank panic. After this was over, the negro panic was resumed by the tmiUfiers nud their kindred Northern rev olutionary factions, and was htought into Congress and kept up by Slade, Granger, Adams, Evcrilt, of die North- urn Whiggcry on the one hand, aud Wise, Bell, Peyton, J'ickens, &c.; of the Calhoun nmLWhite party on tbe otheri Mr. Van Bureu, on his part took tho onrliest steps to put down abolition in tho North At his instance, all the high officers oftho Government, Senators sud Judges of New York, and uu immense uuinbor of the distinguish ed tnou of the Slate, met nt Albany aud passed tho resolutions which gave the excitement its qui- lus there. Mr. Van Burcn’s friends followed up this load jn Congress, and took the most decided staud against the abolitionists, and against mak ing ii the subject 'of ^discussion in the Halls of Congress. Tho strongest preamble aud rcsolu tious attempt to unsettle tbe Constitution, receiv ed almost the unanimous vote of the friends oTMr Vau Buren in the House. In the Senate, Mr Van Buren himself gave the casting vote in fa vor of the strougesi measure to suppress the in- ceudiary movements. This agaiu balked the ef forts of the factious Nullifies and Abolitionists, and be is of course, denounced by these allied incendiaries : the Nuliificrs charging him withbe- iug against slavery—the abolitionists with being against liberty. 3. He was charged in North Carolina with hos tility to the admission of States into the Union, without restriction ns to slavery. They enforced this, by misrepresenting his views in relation to the admission of Missouri. They made their false impression, by suppressing a part of the truth. When the resolution upon this subject was before the Senato of New York, nineteen twentieths of these who sent him as their repre sentative to that body, were io favor of tbe res triction as to slavery. This was shown by pub lic mecliugs. Mr Van Buren, when the questiou was taken in the Senate, gave a silent vote, ac cording to the expressed will of his constituents At the same time; he was called on by tho mem bers of a committee to a public meeting, to sign a memorial as a private citizen. This he refused He was called out afterwards by a letter from a political opponent in relation to his refusal tu countenance this Missouri crusade. It was sup posed that if bo persisted iu withholding himself from a personal connexion with the public pro ceeding, iu which tho great body of the peoplo hadembarkedwithentbusiRsm.it would destroy him politically. He stood firm in tho position ho had taken. Mr Butlerhis intimate friend, states that he was not "willing to concur in any measure to prevent its extension (the constitutional princi ple in regard to slavery) west of the Mississippi, consistent with the Constitution’’— nor willing * to disturb the settlement of slavery made by that in strument, nor to endanger the rights and securi ties of slave oumers.” Of aU the distinguished men in his State, uot ono ventured then to take this posture but himself. All his friends iu both branches of Congress, however, at tbo last ses- siou. voted upon his principle for tho admission of Arkansas without restriction, while White himself voted against the admission of Michigan, which, had it failed, would have defeated Ar kansas’ admission ; and White’s most intimate friends in the .House labored to prevent the two TO THE PUBLIC—and to politicians.

In the North the Biuo-iighl federalists, pluck him with Webster—in the North and North-West tho Bank federalists pluck him with Iiarrisou—aud in the South the Nullification federalists aud few apostate and duped republicans pluck him with Judge White. Neither of tbe gentlemen dare to cuter the field single-handed, and fight the battle “hilt to hill” with tho magiciau—but they have the meanness and cowardice to resort to (h» foul play of clubbing together to overcome him. Webster does not oppose Harrison, nor Iiarrisou Webster—neither does White oppose Harrisou, nor Harrison White ; but all three of the worthies understand each other perfectly— they are playing into each other’s hands—an un holy combination is entered into, to cheat tbe peoplo out of the election. In old Virginia. Whito aud Harrison have uouhled teams; neither can contend singly with Mr. Van Buren, aud hence they conspire together. In Mnsscbusetts, Webster aud Harrison run ’ together.

Wo havo heard of chick en snakes, whoso color is more like copper, in festing houses; but this snake w a s more pf a mouse-color ; and ou mentioning the incident to ono or two persou9, it was suggested that this suako wa9 iu search of rats or mice ! aud we think we had before hoard of rat-snakes—If this was its characer, we were sorry we killed it, as it might have supplied the place of au absent cat very well Dekalb Gazette.
