It is obvious, therefore, from-the doctrine of the right of instruction, that there is a sound discre tion to be exercised by the representative. If he differ from tlie majority which instruct him; if in this differ ence his judgment and his conscience are perfectly clear, he would be but a “ .supple tool ” who could vio late both the one and tlie other to hold office. But, on tile contrary, if his judgment be notdccidedcither the one way or the other; if his .conscience be merely passive as to the propriety of tlie act required to be done, he would, in my opinion, be warranted in obey ing the will of the people. Let those principles be ap plied to my case. First, is it wise, prudent and ?*fe, a» regards the liberties of die people or (he diiral' : '.j rv of the Federal Constitution, to **r'.'eat tH"'„ sutmi anYrefere[ni I< ^ ,S,ra / :,,rOU ^* tne Electoral Colleger Ho..'- r ^ u,a Section of that functionary to the ot Representatives ? But a few years ago, S el, ‘Jl ( ncn, had there been an individual among us so * ie 'i con - entirely reekless of all the obligations of jiatrioti*" . „ seriously to have urged such a doctiio'- am sure he lieved, a bad man, have fallen into tho support ot a most ruinous principle to the liberties of the people in tlie support of Judge White. Gentlemen, one word more. It has been stated, as I am informed, that I am preparing to remove from the State. This is a mistake; I have no intention, no’ex- pectation, at this time, of leaving Georgia. It. is ilty home, my native State; and as>I have heretofore been, so I shall continue to be, uncompromising in the sup port of the principles you advocate. Your destiny, gentlemen, so long as you adhere to tlie republican doctrines, will tell the story of my political histoiy. When you am* your principles shall fall, will the gun °f n ’.y political existence set. In all conditions, in ev- I cry change of lite, I shall never forget the friends who ’ have known mo longest, were the last to suspect, and the first to approve the motives that have influenced me in returning back to the people a trust I could - Jl0t conscientiously execute. tlie glistening blade, and the greater jury gave outward proof of their con Pm. ling. It was in reality a moment v interest After this pause, more * sive than the deepest pathos conve^S' he Proceeded.j * “ 1 I have worn it with some humble defence of my country’; and should the j country again call for my sevices I ein r1 it, and respond to that caU, if needful I and my life. ’ w, “i j would have been scouted ft"'- . < bor at the time of e ^enr circle. I remem- to tlie r- : ’ - ,ne elevation of the younger Adams -uibf Magistracy, that many were the denunci ations, and loud tlie complaint* against members of Congress who were supposed to have voted contrary the will of the people in supporting Mr. Adams. Why, sir, do you not remember that although there were n majority of tlie people of that day in favor of Gan. Jackson, that by sending the election to the 'House, he was defeated, and the people compelled to accept, for four years, a President not of tlieir own choice I and for this we all remember the charge pre ferred against Mr. Clay—a charge; whether true or false, he has had great cause to remember and the country to deplore. Sir, if there was any one question upon which the people of Georgia were united, it seems to me, it was tlieir opposition to the policy of carrying the election of President into Congress. “ It was denounced by them;” and so loud was the denun ciation, that strong and powerful were the efforts in the Congress of the United States so to amend the consti tution, in that respeVt, ns effectually to guard against any future occurrence of the like kind. Well, sir, if it was wrong then in principle is it right now? If it was patriotism that to denounce it, is it patriotism note to advocate it ? Has tho principle changed in Geor gia, or have tlie pecmlc changed? But, gentlemen, I will now proceed to show, in my humble opinion, that the will of the people of.Georgia, as expressed on tho first Monday of this mouth, estab lishes essentially the doctriue they have uniformly con demned—condemned up to a late period—and which I note condemn, and cannot now subscribe to its correct ness under all tlie consideration I have been able to ;ivc tlie subject. First, let it bo remembered that if udge White were to receive the vote of the^Electoral Colleges in all the States where he is run simply, or in connection with Gen. Harrison, he could then only re ceive but one hundred and four. I need not say that the supporters of Judge White arc not ignorant of this fact—surely none in Georgia will pretend to do so. What, then, will the impartial historian say was tlie principle that governed tlie White party in support of that distinguished individual?—Every body knows that in order to elect a President by the Electoral College, (in other words, by the people,) one hundred and for ty-six votes are necessary. Will any man seriously in sist that this fact does not conclusively show that the object of the great body of the White party is to carry tlie election into the House ? Do they believe that he can be elected bv the Colleges with less than one hun dred and forty-six votes? Or will they pretend to in sist that he is to receive the votes of States where he has not hud sufficient strength to start a ticket ? No, gentlemen, I have too much regard for the private worth of the supporters of Judge White, in this State, to suppose them capable of disguising the true issue involved.—It is to send the election to the House, as I respectfully consider, wnl then,iy management, to make a President. But, gentlemen, take the other alternative, that tlie electoral ticket, which has lately succeeded in this State, may cast their vote (far some individual other than Judge White in order to prevent the election from going into the House; it will not be pretended. I ap prehend, in that event, that Mr. Van Buren would be voted for. I then ask, to whom the vote of Georgia is to be given ? Not to Mr. Webster. We know it will not be given to Van Buren, for the electors—some of them at least—as I have reason to believe, have ex pressed themselves fully on this point, and that they would prefer either of the candidates to Sir. V an Bu- rcn. Now, I ask, who is to receive the vote! Gentle men, it fellows, as a necessary conclusion, that the c lectors of this State, under such circumstances, would vote for Gen. Harrison. And, permit me to inquire _ what doctrine does Gen. Harrison liold upon any of tlie great cardinal principles of this Goveriftnent that should render him a favorite of Georgia ? Is it, gen tlemen, for liis preposterous notions on the subjeot of the surplus revenue ? Is it because of his devotion to tlie American System, Internal Improvement, and Uni ted States Bank l I ask iny fellow citizens, if they are prepared to place in the Executive chains man, how ever otherwise he may stand, sustaining no one princi- 'pie in common with the doctrines we all have profess ed to advocate ? Having presented, in mv judgment, a correct view .of the subject, I will now proceed to tlie consideration of the character of tlio instructions as given by the re sult of the lato election. There is a probable majority of two to three thousand votes for the electors in favor of Judge White in the first and Gen. Harrison in the second place—for if I am warranted in believing it is tlie will of the people of tips State, that Judge White should receive the vote in the first instance, I ain also bound to believe that it is equally the pleasure of the majority that in the second-instance General Harrison should be voted for. I cannot nflect to misunderstand the majority, as to a part of their will and pleasure on this subject. I will not trifle with them by saying I un derstand thoir first choice to be Judge White, but that I am uninstructed os to the individual occupying the second place in their affections. No, gentlemen, there can bu no distinction in my mind between Judge White aud Gejt. Harrison, so far as the late vote operates «•* instructions, except that the former, doubtless because of his support of the “ lihody Hill ” and “ Proclama tion," is first to bo voted for, and the latter is to come in for all the other odd chances. The remaining point to be inquired into is, whether I am bound to regard the late election as instruction to me, ns to the vote 1 should give in the event the elec tion was to come into the House. Situated as I am, in regard to this point, differing from others of iny Hon orable Colleagues, in not having an opportunity of an swering a call that was made, I cannot regard it, under the best consideration I have been able to give the sub ject, in any other light than instructions to vote, should [ be a member of Congress, both for Judge White aud Mr. Harrison, iu preference) to the other candidate that may be returned. This is a duty I neither can nor trill perform. To support Judge White, would concede tlio doctrine tliut the . eUpic shbulifdefeat themselves in making their 1'resident through the Electoral Col- mcli compUaicntary notice by.you, I should in- frge. . To support Gen. Harrison either directly or in- L'l doubly gratified tor that first coufiacnce of directly, or countenance in any shape his pretensions to the Chief Magistracy of these Estates, 1 should re gard as an utter abandonment of every principle of {he Republican party, liut I may be toltl, it is not yet certain that tira election will go into the House, and therefore,, under iny own rule, I aqi not compelled to resign until that tact is ascertained. No mistake is greater. In the lirst place, to retain iny seat after 1 am instructed, would bo a full recognition of the proprie ty of suc'li instructions. Again, if 1 retain my seat, feeling as I do that the ..people of Georgia prefer lirst Judge White and secondly .Gem Harrison, 1 should ac quiesce in all tlie principles, that have influenced them iu tlieir support of the White Electoral Ticket. This I cannot do. One alternative only is lell me, to retire from a station l can no longer hold without a surren- TEXAS. city COL. TOWNS’ SPEECH. At a Public Dinner in Talbotton, on the 19/A ult.

Gentleincu, the toast just drank and so cordially re ceived, by reason of the brief explanations which 1 have had an opportunity of making to many of you ns to uiy intended course in the present crisis m Georgia, deserves a more attentive aud extended consideration at this lime. We can no longer entertain a rt*isonublo doubt a* to the result of the lute election. Electors friendly to the elevation of Judge \\ bite lo die Chief Magistracy of the United Suites first, and iu lavor ot either of Uio other candidates in preference iu Mr. V an Buren, have doubtless, from the latest udviceH from MihedgeviUc, received a majority of me votes polled on die lirst Monday of this nioiUh. The time has now then arrived, when it is uue to me, and lo die people of Georgia, that I should explicitly state the grouuds upon which I return to them the trust which tney have con!erred upon me, to represent them in part in the Congress of the Upited States tor two years from and after the 4th day of .March, .1635. 1 will not, gentle men, urge reasons of a character entirely domestic, aud not unknown to most ol you, whtcu would justny iny retirement lor a season- ■’strong os they arc, 1 will pass them fay, and would readily sauuiii to any sacrifice not involving principle. in order to understand my position before the people sacrifices that uo.tiiend can ask; none need expect. 1 am aware, gentlemen, that some valued friends be lieve 1 should hold my seat under the present aspect of affairs—but 1 am sure if they condemn the act, they must approve the motive. 1 may be wrong, but 1 am hereafter to be convinced of iny error. 'JCfae man, gen tlemen, who wants firmness to act upon his own judg ment in a mutter involving principles that lie at the ve ry root of your political institutions is not worthy to rep resent a free, patriotic and intelligent people in the Congress of the United States. And although 1 shall retire from Congress for the present session for tlie rea sons I have given, I am not to be understood us reflect, mg the slightest ccnsfire upon any friend who, situated like niysclt, may think proper to pursue a different course.

It is not here iilone. but our present attitude before all natidns, has rendered my position and that of the country, one of peculiar interest. A spot of earth almost unknown to the geography of the age—almost destitute of resources—compa ratively few in numbers, we modestly remonstrated against oppression ; and when invaded by a numerous host, we cared to proclaim our independence, and to strike for freedom on the breast of oppressors. As yet our course is omvard. We are only in the outset of the campaign of Liberty. Futurity has locked up the des tiny which awaits our people. Who, with apathy, can contemplate a situation si imposing in the physical and moral world? None! —n«, not one The relations among ourselves ure peculiarly dedicate and impoitant; for n* piatter what ze il or fidelity I may possess ill the disch rge of my otfieial duties, if I d n not obtain co-operatin’ nnd on honest support from the co-ordinate departments of government, wreck and ruin must be the inevitable consequences of my administration. If than, in the discharge of my duty, roy compe tency should fail in the attainment of the great ob jects in view, it would become yotir sacrea duty to correct my errors, and sustain mo by your superior wisdom Thisjnnch I anticipate—this much 1 de mand I am perfectly aware of the difficulties that surround me and tlie convulsive throes through which iiy country must pass. I have never been emulous f the honors of a civic wreath:—when merited, it crowns a happy destiny. A conntry situated like ours is environed with difficulties—its administration fraught with perplexities. Had it been my destiny I would infinitely have preferred the privations, the toils anil penis of a soldier to the duties of my, present station. Nothing but zeal, stimulated by the holy spirit ol patriotism,and guided by philosophy aud wisdom, can give that impetus to our energies necessary to ‘■sur mount the difficulties with which our political path is obstructed. By the aid of your intelligence, I trust, all impe diments to our situation will be removed—that all wounds iu the hody politic will be healed, and that the constitution of the republic will derive strength and vigor equal to all opposing emergencies. I sliall con fidcutly anticipate the establishment of constitutional liberty. . In the attainment of this object, we must regard onr relative situation to other countries. A subject of no small importance to our welfare, is tlie situation ofan extensive frontier, bordered by Indi ans, and subject to tlieir. depredations. Treaties ot peace and amity nnd the maintenance of good faith with the Indians, present themselves to my mind as the most rational ground on which to obtain their friend ship, Abstain on our part from aggression, establish commerce with the different tribes, supply their use ful and necessary wants, maintain even-handed jus tice with them, and natural reason will teach them the utility ofoiir friendship. Admonished by the past, wc cannot in justice disre gard our national enemies. Vigilance will aprise us of their approach, and a disciplined and valiant army will insure tlieir discomfiture. Without discrimina tion and system, how unavailing would all the resour ces of an old and overflowing treasury (yoke tu us.— It would be as unprofitable to ue in our present situa tion, as the rich diamond locked in the bosom ot the adamant. We cannot but hope that tlie bosom of oiir beautiful prairies will soon be visited with the bahny breezes ol peace. We may again look for tlie day when their , verdure will be converted into dies of crimson. We must keep all onr energies aiivc, our army organized and disciplined, and increased. agreeably to our pre sent necessities. With these preparations, we can meet and vanquish despotic thousands. This is the attitude which wc at present must regard as our own. We are battling for human liberty—reason and firm ness must characterise our acts. The course which our enemies have pursued has lieon opposed to every principle ofeivifized warfare : had faith, inhumanity and devastation, marked tlieir of j invasion. We were a little band, contending for liberty—they were thousands, weU-appointed; munitioned and pro visioned, seeking«> rivetcliains upon us or toextirpate us from the earth. Their cruelties have incurred the universal denunciations’of Christendom. They will not p»«s from their nation during the present genera tion- Tlie contrast of our conduct is manifest. Wc were hunted down as the felon wolf; our little band, driven from fastness to fastness, exasperated to the hist ex treme, while the blood of our kindred and our friends was invoking the vengeance ofan offended God, was smoking to high heaven. We met the enemv and vanquished them. They fell in battle, or snppliantly kneeled, and were spared. We* offered tip our ven geance at the shrine of humanity, wliilc chistianity re joiced at the act, and viewed with delighted pride the ennobling sacrifice. The civilized world contempla ted with proud emotions conduct which reflected so much glory on the Anglo Saxon lace. The morel ef fect has done more towards our liberation than the de feat of the am y of veterans. When our cause lias been presented to our friend* in trie land of otir origin, they have embraced it with the warmest sympathy-— They have rendered us manly and efficient aid.
