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 support him in '24 and ’32, they did not say lie was Tarillite, a.i Abolitionist, A.c. Ac. Ac t }? Aboli- 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.

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 may impart to yon some practical information of tlie 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 ted “Speak of me as I am: nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice.” Whereas, it ha* pleased tho Almtghty creator an* ruler of tho universe, tojrcwove from time and this "mixed scene of affairs” to "that bourne from whence no traveller returns,” our former fellow citizen the late Gen'.

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.” A Revolutionary Uetcrim.—We had a conversa tion yesterday, at the Planters' & Mccljaittcs It auk*, with one of the Heroes of tho Revolution.

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.
