The opposition still harp upon Mr. Van Ruren’s
vote in the New York convention,on allowing free Ne
groes the right of suffrage, it is singular, that while
lie is abused by the Whig* of the North for Restricting
negro suffrage, he is abused by the Whigs ot the
South for extending negro suffrage! The same vote
i, m ado the occasiuu of censure by both classes of
Whigs—one sort object to him Jiecause he was in fa
vor of allowiug the blacks too little; the other sort be
cause lie allowed them too much. Mr. Van Burcu
chose the part of wisdom; avoiding either extreme, he
acted for the good of his own Stale and the tranquility
of the country, in choosing a middle course. It is thus
he has made himself obnoxious lo the Abolitionist- on
one hand, and the NuUifiers on the other.
The NuUifiers liave been accused of co operating
, ith the Abolitionists in creating a puntc, and disturb-
ng the equilibrium of the public tranquility. Tins
licy deny in lauguage. but admit in practice.
Tho NuUifiers nppenl to the feytf of the South, re-
peeling the safety of their slave property. The Ab.
linonists appeal to the fears of the North, concerning
ie security of their manufacturing interests.
The Abolitionists intermeddle with the domestic re-
itions of the slave States,—and the NuUifiers iuter-
rro with the internaj regulations of the Anti-slave
itales.
Both NuUifiers and Abolitionists are opposed to Mar
in Van Bureu, and would move heaven and earth to
lefcat his elecliou. Both parties abuse him for his
ree negro vote—for the part he took in the Admission
f Missouri—for his vote on the Tariff Question ; on
ie Cumberland Road bill. A c. Ac. and for opposite
easons! By one sect he is abused for being an Abo-
tioniat; and by the other because he is not. By one
set he is accused of restricting the right of suffrage,
nd by the other for extending it too far; lie is abused
y one for beiug a Tariff man, and by die other for bo
ng anti-Tariff; by oue for being opposed to the Uni-
td estates' bank, and by the other for beiug in favor of
[; by one for being in favor of Internal Improvements
y the General Government; and by the other for be-
ng opposed to them. Like a pair of cross-cut sow
ers, though they pull different ways, their object is
till the same.
The NuUifiers say mauy hard things ofMr. \ an Bu
n now respecting former acts of his life, which here-
'ore they said nothing about—although they must
vc kiiowu them as well then as they know them
w. Whnt is the reason, when they called upon us

utism worse now than it was then T
We are asked why we give our support to Mr V an
uren in preference to Judge White T We answer,
cause the former has always been a friend to his coau-
* fnend to Democracy ; and particularly a friend
i the South. He has had the confidence of nil the re-
itilican statesmen of the south The Crawfords, the
roups, the Forsyths, the Benricns. Ac. Ac. have
ought him worthy of confidence, and entitled to the
ipport of the people of Georgia. Almost every re-
esentative in Congress from Georgia for the last 12
• 15 years, has recommended him as entitled to pup-
m. Shall we not believe their unitqd testimony T
Judge White in particular should not receive the
ipport of Georgia, But for him, we shonld long ago
ivo got rid of the Cherokees and.of our Indian diffi-
ilties. While Mr V. Buren was in favor of the remo-
il of the Cherokees, Judge White threw obstacles in
eway of their removal. Perhaps no other man in
le country has contributed as much to defeat the be-
sficent intentions of the President in tiro emigration
f the Cherokees, as his pretended friend. Judge
7hits! The Indians have thus remained in Georgia,
•rough the doings of Judge White, to the great inju*
r of the state—thereby depriving our own citizens of
icir just rights, and retarding the growth and prospe-
ty of the state! and yet Judge White has theossu.
ince to come forwaxd and claim the aid of Georgia to
lace him in the Presidential Chair! And Georgians
•o, can be found, so lost to self-respect, so forgetful op
’hat they owe to themselves and their posterity, as to
rge his claims! Judge White is the last man that
corgis ought to support.
/‘Ha (Mr Van Buren,) voted in favor of giving the
right of suffrage to the free negro, thereby putting him
Upon equal cvovuvwith a whiteman.’’—Ga. Mess.
The above is among the false charges which the Nul-
^fieraand Whigs are parading witl\ so much solemni
ty against Mr Van Buren; in support of which.gar
bled extracts from tho proceedings of the New York
convention are produced.
The Free Negro in New York is not put, by Mi
Van Bnren’s vote, upon equal ground with the While
man. The object of that vote Was to restrict the pri
vileges of the negro, and extend those of the white
■nan; and the resulthas been, almost totally to exclude
negro votes; sojthat in upwards of 100,000 voters in the
state of New York, not one in a thousand are free ne
groes. Before that convention aat, free negroes were
on the same footing with white men—since that
time they have not been, ns will be seen by referring to
the 1st sec. Sid articlo of the constitution of the slote'of
New York, published in our last.
But why censure him for what lie did in the conven
tion of New York?—New York is satisfied with his
conduct there, as she has repeatedly shown, ^electing
him to the highest trusts. Strange, thnt the NuUifiers
never thought of this charge before.
"He (Mi. Van Boren,) is in favor of abolishing sla
very iu the District of Columbia.”—ib.
The unblushing effrontery with which the abovs ac
cusation is made, surpasses belipf. We challenge the
Messenger and its whole party to furnish one tittle of
evidence in support of the charge. Every tiling wo
have seen of Mr,Van Buren warrants the contrary.—
His letter to the North Carolina committee emphatical
ly declares, that if elected, hi must go into the Presi
dential chair -the uncompromising opponent of any at
tempt to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, a-
gains t the wishes of the slave holding States
From the Georgia Messenger Sept. 8.
Mr. Editor; A candidate of the Van;Burcti Party,
for the Representative branch, in the public streets of
Macon, yesterday electioneered thus; when asked if
he had been a member of the New York convention,
if lie would have voted as Martin Van Buren did, upon
the question of giving the right of voting to free ne
groes. lie answered, he would not. He was then
asked how he could justify Mr Van Buren for his vote.
He replied, the candidate for the Presidency of the Uni
ted States has nothing to do with the domestic concerns i f
the State of Georgia.
If the people of Bibb choose to elect such a Solomon
to represent them in the Legislature, let them do so.—
The candidate referred to dare not deny making use of
the above remarks t BIBB.
We cut tlie above from the last Messenger, not to de
ny the charge, but to approve the answer given by the
candidate. He candidly answers that he would not
(with the lights now before him.) vote as Sir. Van Bu-
ren did iu the New York convention; but at the same
time, he neither justifies nor condemns him for that
vote—that vote beiug a subject with which he as a ci
tizen of Georgia has nothing to do.
The candidate alluded to (we don’t know who he is)
doubtless, like thousands of the Union party, support
Mr. Van Bureu, not for that vole, but in spite of it—
He looks upon him as every way better qualified for
the office, and having far more claims upon his sup
port than his opponents.
Dn. Bartlett—I saw in your paper sometime
since some mention made of n new kind of oats.
(White oats I ihink you called them) raised by the
Macon Messenger, which yon did not sneak very well
of, by the by, and I do not suppose the Editor himself
values them veiy high from the great anxiety lie has to
get rid of tliem.* We who live in this part of the coun
ty, in the pine woods, are always glad to get something
that is new, but sir. we never nad any body so good to
us before. The Messenger has been so good as to
send his agentsammig we pine wood folks with quan
tities of their White oats, and his agent has even come
to all our houses, and insisted that we should take and
try them as they would cost us nothing; well we pine
woods folks yon know are always fond of new tilings,
so we all took some to try them, and we have examin
ed them, and behold they arc all as you said, cheats,
no kernels, perfect chaff. You know Mr Bartlett,
we pine woods folk all met to see each other last Sa
turday at our court ground and talk about onr new
kind of oats, and there we met with a new set of e-
gents wj'h a new snpply of the same kind of oat«:
they gave we pine woods folks all a new supply, and
help vonr soul, thev are no account; they aint one of
them that will sprout: perfect cheat. We had an op
portunity to examine i hem with the Van Buren oats,
and they bear no comparison. Give us tlie Van Bu
ren oats forever. TOBESOFKEE.
AN UNFORTUNATE BREAK.
At Rutland’s, oti Saturday last) one of the stump or-
otors of the White, Harrison, Webster, mongrel nul
lifying anti-Van Buren party, addressed the people,
nnd pulled n hiblc nut of oue pocket and an abolition
paper out of the other This man must either have
been or is now, a subscriber for this paper. He sta
ted that ho had a file of them at home. It seems he
boards this incendiary publication op as a treasure.
We know the cunning and art of this man, and he
may sav.to justify himself to a'l incensed community,
llmt the papers were sent to him against his will, and
lie ha* carefully preserved them to expose and abuse
the authors and propagators of the doctrine which
they contain. But Gabriel, this will not do—shew
your opposition hv destroying as you receive them, fur
a virtuous people’niay suspect you of putting them to
a bad purpose, and excited by ajnat indignation, thev

provisions of the penal code on this subject. Cl.
According to previous arrangements, a respectable
mini her of the citizens of Twiggs county convened at
the court house iu Marion, on Monday the 5th inst.
for the purpose of adopting measures with regard to
the death of the late Gen. Kobt Augustus Beall, of
Mucoti. The meeting was organised by calling Geu.
E. Wimberly to the chair, and appointing Henry
Bnnn. Esq. secretary, when Dr. Slappey addressed
the meeting in tlie following manner:
"Gentlemen: Ido not intend to attempt to speak
the eulogy of our departed friend, being totally unac
customed to public speaking, I will read a few re
marks readily prepared for tlie occasion.
“We have assembled to commemorate a sad event;
it is indeed an /occasion oi' the uiostsolemn and mourp-
ful character: met together to do justice to the dead—
to pay the last sad tribute of our feeble respect to de
parted geiiuiue' worth uud elevated merit, and to n-
dopt some measures suitable and fit, expressive of our
heartfelt regret at tlie untimely fall of one of us; or
ot least, of the decease of one w ho was once one in
the verv midst of ns; of oue who, bnt very recently
thought, felt, dwelt and acted with Ug; who "lived,
moved and had an cxtstence” here; and who we at all
times were pleased to meet and associate with; ol one
whose masterly and manly eloquence rung upon every
ear, and often moved and melted every heart however
stubborn; and whose voice lately so familiar here mov
ed with tho highest, loftiest strains of oratory, sounded
in this very hall, and these very walls made to echo it.
Need I mention the name of Robt Augustus Beall?
Yes, he who was so remarkable for candor; and whose
frank, nohle, generous, independent mein, rendered
hiuithe peculiar favorite of everyone. In his inter
course with his fellow man, there is another character
in which we have not presented him: it is that of ho
nesty. Considering the ago and corruption of the
times jn which be lived, and the great rage for money,
he jvfs in fact a rare example of purity,for no condi
tion or circumstances could alienate him from his fixed
principle ; unalterable and inextinguishable feature of
his nature. Unlike the most of men he not onlv slinn-
ned, bnt spurned the little low.sly. grabbing artifice of
the day. to secure the pelf of this world; and he stood
perfectly aloof and safe from that degradation which
some submit to, fertile sake of gain.' His was a far
more magnanimous aim; he shot high, and had he liv
ed. we should hav.e seen him, perohed on the highest
pinnacle of fame's proud lop.” '
Whereupon it was moved and seconded that a com
mittee of three be appointed by the cliair, to draft an
appropriate preamble and resolutions.
The chair nominated Dr John G Slappey, Robt. A
Evans, Esq. and Mai. Philip Cook as that committee,
who retirea for a while and reported the subjoined pre
amble and resolutions which were unanimously adop

GEORGIA, ?
Suin.er County. )
I do hereby certily, that I was present at the fight oil
Friday the third dav of June last, between the Craw
ford foot company, commanded by William Carr , :
part ofCant Parham’s mounted Volunteers, from the
same comity, and a pait of the dumler Volunteer.'
commanded by myself, on the one part, and the Cree
Indians on tho other, across -h- Chattahoochie river at
Boykin's Pfautatibn. As soon as it was announce J by
the guard from the river that the Indians hail made
their appearauce on the opposite bank, the whole el
fective force at Boykin’s were immediately formed in
to one company. Lieut. George Robertson proposed
that Major William M. Brown should take the coui-
muild bf the wliole, to which Major B. replied * that he
would do so, if agreeable te all the oificers and man.”
or words to that effect, as near, as lean recollect, an J
no one objecting, he assumed the command The
company were divided into three divisions, 1 was *p
painted to the command of the first, Capt. Carr to
licit of the second, and Lieut. Bradford to that of tlie
tliriil. We then inarched to the river, about three hun
dred yards from the house where the enomv were
xeeu. but so mana'iivred that when we arrived, on the
bank my command was on the extreme left ol toe
company, whilst Capt. Carr’s was on uiy right. I
think we had gained the bank, some fifteen or twenty
minutes before the firing commenced, which was dime
at the order of Major Brown. IVe should have delay-
ed longer, bnt from a well grounded apprehension
of onr being discovered by the enemy (who, we
feared, in that event, might retreat without giving us
:iu opportunity of having a shot with them at all) and
in Met it whs utterly iiuitossible tu restrain the ardor of
some of our men any longer. Soon after the tiring
had been returned bir the Indians, we discovered that
tliev were endeavoring to outflank us. 1 suggested to
Major Btowu the propriety of capt. Carr to flank to
tlie right, or up the river (and ill the direction of the
houses.) winch order was ptomptiy given by biinsell;
capt. Carr started in the direction ordered. I never
saw him afterwards till qear the close of the light »t the
prpeoeds:
»• 1 am credPdy informed ilinf it is now ascer-
t at nod ny an examination of his pipers, that from
the commencement of his forgeries to tlie pres-ut
time, they amuiint to about $7,000,000 ! No
crime of the same magnitude is. 1 believe, on re
cord. Fauntlerny, iu Kngl.nnl although exceedjr.g
all Buropeau experience, did not more than equal
one tealli part of that amonnt But it excites my
wonder how such a course of conduct could he
continued for two or 3 years, to so great an ex
tent, without giving rise to some suspicion. Yet
none seems to have been excited, or if excited,
to have been made public. It is true, that there
were mauy who supposed that bankruptcy would
lie thejeud of him: but uone seem to have anti
cipated th« truth iu i:s whole extent. He say*,
that fertile lift four months, he has lived in coo
slant di end of an explosion ; has felt as if he hud
stood before a loadcucaunon. with its.match slow
ly burning. To postpone the explosion, he haj
been obliged to continue aijd enlarge hi* evil prac
tices, unit their extept gives him a painful eleyu
lion above all other criminals.
-Notwithstanding bis crimes, there is much
sympathy for him here, ile was always honor
able andgeueious jjj his dealings. He lias given
employment lo a great many fahrrrrs. He has
done more than any other pi an to build up and
adoru this city; and his works will remain tnany
years to attest his taste and enterprise, ami to
perpetuate also, the memorv of his offences.—
And in hisfailure he has taken care lopiovide for
all liiscreditors here, so that none here will suffer
in a pecuniary sense from hi* operation*, hut may
have bceu beoefitteu by them. The Ipss will fall
priucipally upon hank* and brokers abroad : and
it is uot therefore surprising that a feeling of coui-
raisseration for him should exist here.
"I have uot heard any one mal|<i the remark,
which seems to me to follow very justly from this
case, and that is. that, uuiier uo oilier circum
stances than tho general spirit of speculation
which pervades every portion of the community,
and this part particularly, could such an extended
fraud have continued so Jong uuilofectod. In or
dinary limes the magnitude of his operations
would have excited attention and suspicion, and
would have led to an earlier disclosure.
-I’o has iuvolved his brother aud his nephety
(Kathbuu Allen) in the same ruin with himself.
The latter, who was his clerk, was at large for
soveral days, no cvideuco being found to impli
cate him in the forgeries. At length, among the
filed letters, some from hiiq wore found (very
straugely preserved) which. I uiplerstaud explain
fuily their mode of operation.”

after, ordered the firing to cease on onr side, tlie
Indians continued firing. Major Brown ordered n pic

capt Carr standing in tlie yard near the door. Major

telligence the men started out ofthe gate in disorder,
when Major William M. Brown ordered to halt and
firm a line.
Capt. McCrary immediately formed his men. and
the detachment from cant. Parham’* company, and
cant \ym A. Carr.theu formed on them. As soon as
this was done. LieutenantGeorse Robertson ofSnmp-
ter county, proposed that Major William M. Brown
should take the command of the whole, wheu a iium
bi;r responded to Lieutenant Robertson’* suggestion,
nn d no one opposed. Major Brown replied, ifwas fee
wish ol all the officers and men h« would* and no one
objected- Major Rrowu immediately assumed tlie
command ami arranged the men into three division!.
Major W. M. Brown than gave the command of the
tir*t division to capt McCraiv, the second to captain
Win. A. Carr, and fee third to Lieut. Joseph Bradford.
Major Brown then ordered that no roan fire a gun
without his orders, and that by no means did he wish
any man to break orders. , He then ordered the
omn to march t6 the river, where the fight eu-ued;
but before the,men took their station, Major Brown or
dered them to halt some forty or fifty yards from the
margin of tlie river, until lie should reconnoitre and as
certain the position of the enemy. This order was
promptly obeyed, and the men marched up and formed
for action, capt. C»rr on the right and capt. McCrary
on the left. In ten or fifteen minutes afterwards
Major Brown ordered a fire, which order was oheved
by all immediately: after the order to fire Major Brown
ordered capt. Carr to flank up the river, that being to
the right, and capt. McCrary to tlw left or down the
river. The firing continued iu every, direction from
fee enemy for some time but ultimately was heavier up
the river on the right wing, where capt. Carr, had the
command which caused me to proceed up the river to
meet the enein ys fire and upou reaching my destina
tion, I found Major William M. Brown there. Soon
after this, ottr fellow soldier, Crossland, fell. When
Major Brown exhorted the men to stand up to it the
best they could : We had lort one good fellow, and on
ly one, and that we had killed lots of Indians, and fur
ther observe that he (Major Brown) would go down
and see how they catne on|ait the left.
Immediately capt. Carr remarked. “ Boys, we had
better retreat to the house, the Indians are crossirg
•above and below us, and if we do not we will be sur
rounded and massacred the whole of ns,-‘if we stay
here.” This. capt. Carr repeated twe or three tipies
At this time, firing had entirely ceased on the right,
where capt. Carr commanded: capt Carr and men
had started to the house in quite a brisk walk, but at
the same time fee firipg was briskly kept up on the
left, where Major Brown was then acting in person,
and for some considerable time aftqr I reached Major
Brawn, for I do not believe tho fight was much more
than liqlf ended when capt. Carr left the ground. Some
time after I reached Major Brown on the left. Major
Brown ordered the picket guard to remain at their
posts while he \yeut to thehouse to see what captain
Carr wanted with hint; ordered the firing to cease till
his return I vyentwifo Major Brown to the house,
where we found a number of capt. Carr’s men with
thejr kqapsncks and their blankets bung on and their
guns shoulijered in a travelling pnstnre._ and captain
Carr stquding at the door it; tlieyqrd. With regard to
the situetjon of tho men, or some of them, on my ar
rival with Major Brown they were at the gate moving
off, and Major Brown cursed them and ordered them
ta laydown their knapsacks and blankets and keep
their places Major Brown, as requested, went out in
to the yard to capt. Carr, but what conversa tion passed
between them I know not, as I never went in hearing
of them. While we were at the house, the Indians
continued their fire until after we went back .and some
time afterwards, capt. Carr remaining at-the house.
On Major Brown's return to the river, be ordered the
men not to fire a gun, in order that the Indians might
suppose that we were gone, and might come down to
tlia river, when, in that event, we mighranake our shot
tell; we remained at our station from Friday till Sun
day morning, and much conversation took place con
cerning our fight,and I never heard any person pretend
to deny that Maj. Brown commanded nor to controvert
any fact which I have here certified to, until after I
arrived at home and some time afwiwards. During
the aforesaid fight, I saw Brown on fee river bank en
couraging the men to act bravely all the time, but ne
ver heard Carr issue an order or exhort th - niou to
bravery and courage once. The foregoing certificate I
gave at the request of Major Wm. M. Brown, to use
at his discretion.
