of the nomination made by the June Convention, as has Mr.
Crawford on the part of the Whigs. As we have beard

in a state of continued and unparallelled stagnation. But
the cost ofwar conducted on a scale that will call out the
full financial resources of the British empire!—There is
the rub. The process of borrowing is easy. That of sus
taining a war expenditure and'the payment of a large sum
in annual interest, leaves no room for doubt that if Englstfil

We found the above precious moreeau in the Albany
Courier of the 4th inst. We are aware that we might paw
itln silence, as3o all the harm it is calculated to do.—But
we love to give tyros in politics some latitude, if irerely for
the amusement of seeing how they will behave themselves.
It was-an amusement of our boyish days to pot a large
worm on our book, and throw it into a school of minnows,
to be ninused with the arnica the little fellows would play a.
round the bail, entirely too large for them to manage, and
their very security depending upon their diminutive pro
portion*. Wo lore to serve minnows in politics so now,
and should like to bring this brave little fellow forward for
public amusement. As to the biography of Col. Stark, if
the writer’s paddling in politics have been in such shallow
pools as to make the above jcall necessary to himself, we

is never to bav^ met
with Col. Stark in his way, lie is indeed to be pitied for the
bad company he has ever kept.—Why the young man has
been brought up no belter than a pagan, and his parents are
much to blame. It is true C >1. Stark has never given him
self any notoriety by changing bis juiliticol coat a dozen
times in a dozen calendar months; he baa never been re
markable for any outrage in society, morals or deeenev, or j
doing any great exploit.of a kindred character; bot if hon

respect of every one, truth, honesty, persevetam-e and suc

tor of the Courier knows any thing of these matters we

“.llr. Cooper nnd the District Dill.”
We take the following from the last Southern
Recorder: •
“ The enquiry has been made of us, whether Mr. Cooper,
in the event of his election to the Executive oflice. would
veto a bill forlayingoJ die State into Congressional districts.
We have been further desired, if we could not answer the
question ourselves, t«> make the enquiry of Mr. Conpea
of the people of Geor-
Irimself, to behalf of a large number ol
' S'«- . *, *
Although we have aad no direct intimation of the views
of Mr. Cooper on^hii subject, from the gentleman, we have
no hesitation, from what wediave beard of the opposition
of tbfs gentleman to the measure last winter, to say that he
would veto such a bill. For we understood, during the
session, Mr. Cooper used all his influence to have it defeat
ed.'nod this with no ordinary measure of zeal and feeling.
We understood ifiat Mr. Cooper believed and declared,
that by the rejection of this measure alone, could the State
delegation in Congress * stand erect’ when they returned
to that body: that is, the portion of it which were of his
sifle of the question. Thus open and zealous in bis hostil
ity to this measure last wioter, we repeat, we have not the
slightest hesitation in expressing our decided belief that
Mr. Cooper, if in power, would veto the measure.”
We think it is in our power to gratify ihe Recor
der by atiswering the enquiry it makes “in behalf
of a large number of the people of Georgia.” It is
true, we believe,as the Recorder asserts, that“Mr.
Cooper used all his influence to-have it [the Dis
trict Bi[l] defeated, and this with-no ordinary mea
sure of zeal and feeling.” And where is the advo
cate of Slate Rights and State Sovereignly that
would not have used most zealously ahd feelingly
“all his influence” to defeat an impertinent and un
constitutional tmerfercnce of the General Govern
ment with the mode in which a State conducts and
arranges her own elections? Has the Recorder for
got the patriotic shout of “ Rights of the Stales and
the Sovereignty of the Slates /" which it was wont
to raise in its palmy days of Jeffersonian Republi
canism ?
Stephens alao accept the nomination for Congress. Thus tb,n k b ® ou gl;tto know something of Col. Stark,
we have the gentlemen now all in the field. / assure hitn of tins, if lie will pursue his enquiries, he will
” ’ m - - . i find Col. Stark to be extensively known, altho' it may not
be in the Editor's immediate circle, and bis character' that

honor, honesty and consistency, even his own political ene
mies being judges; he will further learn, that in the Flint
Circuit at least, the Circuit of Col. Stark’s residence, that
such is his enviable standing among hia neighbors and
friends, that he will Receive an almost unanimous vote,
without distinction of parties.—Geo. Jeffersonian.
Let us see who they are. Cooper is a stern and unben
ding Democrat, with his pripoiples ingrained, from which
neither policy, calculation, threats or promises can in-luce
him to depart the breadth of a hair. lie sets down his
stake, and there it muatstay; every line must run with bis h
or you cannot survey with Cooper. The only question
with regard to anch' a man is, is he always right t Does he
always ran exactly with tho cardinal poirtsl If you can
rely on him in tln--o particulars you are safe—So" we be
lieve Maj. Cooper to be. although we differed with him in
the days of nullification. There was a disagreement is to
meridian lines, which was all that divided us, and they
have since been adjusted. Maj. Cooper is a man that can be
known, because he is a man of principle. Wbat he was
yesterday, he will be to-day and forever. He is a man in
whom you cun put ail confidence, for the reason that you
know exactly where you will nlwaysfind him. In his mor
al character lie is unblemished.
Mr. Craw ford is also a fine fellow, and much of a gentle
man; but a little more politic, a little more calculating and
time serving than -Mnj. Cocpcr. Ho is a thorough-going
Whig, to be sure; but then we know that Wing principles
aro not aa accurately defined ns they might ce; they are
rather upon the sliding scale order, and governed by cir
cumstance.: and Mr. Crawford has drank pretty deep of
this spirit.—For instance, a! the last session he opposed
tho Central Bank, but what did he care about the Central
Bank, if lie could but use it to ooposc and embarrass the fi
nancial affairs of the State, the Democrats being in power 7
Had it been as politic for bis party, he would have gone as
strongly in favor on the other side. He also signed the
rail road protest, but wbat care had he for the rail road, so
lie could but embarrass the treasury by the pay ment of the
two hundred thousand dollars 7 This is .Mr. Crawford. I
Mr. Cooper cannot do such things. He must go straight I
forward cost what it will, and run afoul of whomsoever he
may. In the language of a valued friend now no more,
Cooper “ will do to tie to;” but Mr. Crawford is sometimes
like the Frenchman’s flea, put yocr finger on lorn and he is
not lilt-r e—11i<-il tri- n.ls i • • : Ifm cut rely in trial rail- !
road protest of last year, and some thought be had turned
Democrat outright. The great and striking difference !
between the two men appears to bo this : One has a set of I
fixed and permanent principles, known and read of all men; I A grei
the other is a man of policy—too often adopted to serve n of Mr., Calhoun)* speeches, which, it appears, did not in-
party, at the expense jf the country. ! elude those he delivered in 1816. Messrs. Ilsrper and
Col ritark and Mr.Stephens, who oppose etch other for i Brothers, the publishers, give the ft"

If sll bistory be not a lie, there is a tendency in the
poor to covet and share the plunder of the rich ; in the
debtor to relax or avoid the obligation of contracts ; in die
majority to tyrannize over the minority and trample down
their rights ; in the indolent and profligate to cast tue whole
burden of society opon the industrious; and there is a ten
dency in ambitions and wicked men to inflame tbese com
bustible materials.”
The above is taken from a speech lstely delivered by
Mr. Goddard in Rhode Island. “History (says be,) shews
•a tendency in the poor to covet and share in The plunder
of the rich.” Tba^ may be, but that same history (al
though penned very often by time-servers) also shews that
the poor, or the mass of the people, have very seldom suc
ceeded in regaining a share of the goods the rich plundered
them of. But Mr. Goddard goes on to charge the people,
alias the poor, that they want to “relax or avoid the obliga
tion of contracts.” This accusation comes with a bad
grace from a member of the party that passed the late gen
eral bankrupt art. It is highly ridiculous when we all
know that a majority of the men are Whigs, wbp have just
shuffled off one hundred millions of indebtedness, by taking
an oath or two.
We must however, agree with Mr. Goddard, when be
says that there ia a tendency among the indolent and profli-
gate, to cast the whole burden of society upon the industri
ous. But who nre the indolent and profligate 7 Must we
look for them amnne the poor, or amnntr directors of cor
porations and people holding offices, witli'large salaries 7
F- O. Republican.
And is that print now willing that the
General Government shall decide for Georgia whe
ther she shall elect her members to Cofigress by
Districts or general ticket? There was a time
when, ifsuch an act was even squinted at by the
Federal Government, the Recorder would have
cried out, t'Opposition! Tyranny! Consolidation!
Centralization! Stand by your arms, people of
Georgia!” But, times change and men change with
them; yet principles are immutable—and it is a
principle with the Democratic party that a Stat^
has a sovereign right to manage her own elections
—and it was upon this principle that Mr. Cooper
acted when he opposed the arrogant land unconsti
tutional dictum of the General Government which
sought to compel the people of Georgia to divide
their State into Congressional districts. As a mea
sure ufexpediency, however, we are not prepared
to say, whether Mr. C. prefers the district or gene
ral ticket system. But of this we are very certain
that whichever of them receives the sanction of the
people ofGeotgia, that will be the one which will
be sure to meet his hearty and cordial concurrence.
It may he amusing to our readers to hear
what was the Recorder’sopinion oft^e District sys
tem in 1825. In that year the House of Represen
tatives passed a bill districting the State, which
was thus noticed by that paper:
“The will of the majority—not of Hie people,
btjt of the Legislature has been done. After a warm
and animated debate in the House of Representa
tives, the bill dividing the State into Congressional
districts, passed by a vote of 61 to 57. Little doubt
is entertained but what it will pass the Senate.
Thus to subserve the views of a few designing men
has the old established customv <aul usages of the
Slate been encroached upon, with which fault has
never been found."
O, consistency, thou art a jewel!
Messenge
thundered his charge and denunciations against
Governor McDonald, that’he, Toombs, was from
the people “before the pgople,” and ranting to the
people; and that the rumor was rife in Milledge-
ville that the “Heroof Tnliaferfo,”.Mr. Stephens,
joined in the “doleful sound” that issued from the
Tombs? ’ But, probably, the “Hero” has ’come
doten, and will not accept his nomination! If so,
we must 'Cut and coriie again. The Messenger
“canoot exactly comprehend the honesty of that
system of politics, by which a professor in one part
oftlie State, applauds a certain measure, while a
professor ol the same creed, situated in another part
of the State condemns the same ineastire.” Can’t
ye? AVby, 1m, ha, ha! (my dear fellow- excuse
laughin*g,) why, we say, it is as easy to comprehend
it as it is to comprehend the honesty of that sys
tem, by which you and most of the Clay Press
“in one part of the State/’’ condemn the odious
Tax Bill passed by the last Legislature, while your
nominee Mr. Crawford, “situated in another part
of the State” applauds “the same measure.” “Do
you take, Sir Charles; do you take?” But, we
must confess, that we like the Messenger’s logic
most hugely. It reminds us of the cyphering gen
ius who proved that two,and two didn’t always
make four. “If,” said he, “you put two and two
upon a horizontal line, they will make twenty-two
—but, if you put two and two upon a perpendicu
lar line,you chit then, ifyou choose, make four out
of them—if you can’t, I’ll eat snakeS.” Is the hon

Southern Recorder.
“jlender unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's !”
The introductory remarks of our excellent friend,
the-Recorder, in his rejoinder to our reply, about
our challenging ’‘the fair fa i:e and honor of” our
“own State,” and all that sort of thing, would be
considered “all fudge” by Goldsmith’s Mr. Burchell
were that amiable personage now alive. In advo
cating in out humble way a just appreciation and
recognition of the claims of Mr. Callioun, we are
induced to believe'that we were advocating no more
than what the people of Georgia will most assured
ly award him—but, we must ftankly confess that
were we to express a political liking lor Mr. Clay,
it would be very apt to be construed into an inyio-
litic hatred of the best interests of the South, and of
Georgia particularly. \Ve shall, however, dtp at
once into the merits of our little controversy with
the Recorder, as we are really desirous of divesting
ttof all ejjtrantiius matter. We therefore assert,
and propose to prove by sufficient evidence,, ^
It That the disposition of theTndians to retain
their territory became more tenacious under the ill-
advised and visionary scheme presented by Mr.
Crawford in 1816, and may.be adduced asa strong
and impelling-cause leading to many of the dan
gers-and difficulties which we subsequently encoun
tered in treating with the Cteeks and Cherokees.
2. That the wise, benevolent, and practical plan
and measures of Mr. Calhoun tended greatly to
melioratethe condition of the Jndians, and to fen
der equal ahd exact justice to all concerned. And
finally,
3. That the injury and injustice which the wick
ed, mischievous and bargaining administration of
Adamsand Clay, inflicted upon the white as well
as the red man and the sovereign institutions of our
country, have no parallel in the political history of
our Government. * . •
In 1813, Mr Crawford was sent as Minister to
France, to fill the vacancy at that Court, occasion
ed by the death of Mr. Barlow. After a bootless
and fruitless mission of two years, Mr. Crawford
returned home, and was placed by Mr. Madison
at the head of the WflrDopartment in 1815. Ia
1816, Mr. C’s celebrated Indian Report, which cre
ated much sensation at the time, made itsappear-

commission was constituted to*treaewith the Cher
okee nation, on the basis of .he atrangement made
by Mr. Jefferson, which was followed by the trea-
ty-of the 8th July, 18lt, which, among other things
stipulated that a census of the Clicrohee nation should
be taken in June following, and that a pottion of the
country should be ceded to the United States, equal
to that which those emigtaled to the Arkansas were
entitled to; that is to say, if it was found that one
third had .emigrated.one third ofthe territory should
be ceded, anti so in qny other.proportion, according
to the number that should emigrate. To carry the
treaty into effect,' Congress appropriated, by the act
of (lie 20th April, 1818, the sum of 880,000, in or
der To defray the expenses .that might be .Attendant
on the emigratirfn oftlie Cherokees to the Arkan
sas. It was found, however, impossible to take the
census as proposed by (lie treaty, in June, and va
rious causes delayed" its final execution till the be
ginning of flip year 1819. In the mean time, the
emigration of the Cheiokecs wasincessantly urged
by all the means in possession oftlie Government.
‘‘Tlie appropriation being finally exhausted, a del
egation of ihe Cherokee nation was permitted to vis
it' the-seat of Government, in 1819, in order to close
the treaty of 1817. It was ascertained that about,
one third part oftlie nation had ernjgrated, or en
rolled to emigrate to the Arkansas; and the delega
tion proposed to treat upon that basis, which was
acceded to. It only remained to fix on the portion
of teiritory to be ceded. With the view of throw
ing the land to be ceded witlvin the limits of Geor
gia, and to separate the Creek and Cherokee na
tions, the Government proposed, that all the lands
lying souTh and east of Etowah, one of the main
Branches of the Coosa river, should be ceded by
the Cherokees; but it was found impossible to in
duce the delegation to yield to that proposition or
to tyiy other more favorable to Georgia, than that
which was adopted. They were fixed in their de-
ternlitiation, particularly, not to be separated from
the Creek natiotf, by anf intervening white popula
tion, and to cover their'northern boundary by the-
Tennessee river, which necessori'y threw the ces
sion made bv the treaty into Alabama, Tennessee
and North /Carolina, as well as Georgia. Since the
treaty of 1819,>two attempts have Been made, un-
det^ppropriations of Congress, loopen a negotiation
with the Cherokee nation for further cession, both
of which have proved aborih’O.”.

It is needless to say, that this wild and quixotic
proposition,’after exciting much feeling and censure
was suffered to sink into the tomb of forgetfulness,»
and would not now have been revived, but for some
ill-timed and unfeeling allusions recently made.
The proposition, however, left an impress upon the ; anguished." Could there be mpre plain, more im-
detl exhibition of facts .will also enable the Recor-
de r to amend his writ, & correct tbe.errors into wh icH
lie has unintentionally fallen, by doing justice to
one who has so ably and assiduously labored to
protect the rights and advance the best interests of
our beloved State.
But, to exhibit in a still stronger light Mr. Cal
houn’s urwired and determined disposition to do
what man could do to satisfy the claims of Geor
gia, and that too-as p/mnprly ) as possible, we ex-
tiact what follows frorii his letter of January, 1824,
to the -Cherokee Delegation then at Washington
City.
“You must be sensible that it will be impossi
ble for you to jemain for any length offline, in your
present situation as a distinct Society or nation
witlrin the limits of Georgia, orof any other State.
Suclra community is in compatible with our sys
tem, and must yield to it. This tiuth is too stri
king and obvious, not to be seen bv all of you. Sur
rounded as you ate by t^e people of the several
States, you must either cease tube a distinct com mu
nity, and become at no distant period, a patt of
the State within whose limits you nre, or remove
beyond the limits of said State. For the United
States to fulfil the compact with Georgia, the title
which you hold to lands qs n distinctcoinnimunity
must be extinguished; mvl the State objects to the
extinguishment of it, by vesting in you, or any of
you, in lieu thereof, the right of individual owner
ship. If any of you acquire that right to land, ami
remain there after the bond which holds you togeth- :
er as a distinct community is dissolved, and your
present title is extinguished, it must be by purcha
sing the property and acquiring the title from the
State within which it lies.”
Could there have been a more determined and
energetic course than this pursued, to induce the
Cherokees to an immediate surrender of their soil
and a recognition of the claims of Georgia ? If
there could we cannot possibly imagine ir, unless
we had been so callous to every impulse ofjusuce
and humanity ns to have resorted to mere brute
force, and extirpated from the face of the earth a
