toiled with you, as well as the principles and policy for
which th-y contended. With the patriotic Jackson for our
leader, after many a hard-fought battle, we won the victory
by the force of the principles for which, as a party, we had
long been contending. The same principles have hitherto

the party which baahitherloaustained them ; and do hot feel
willing tamely to submit to see that party charged with hav

support of the principles and policy of those who, in 1832

Hullo el iuey de Kentucky, dixo busk — .*
This gentleman, in a speech lately delivered at a dinner
in Louis, i.le.K.v. deprecated in strong terms the course
oursued by the President [Gen. Jackson,] towards the
t’reri Indians ; pronounced it cruel, unauthorized anj des-
potic; and denied the right of Georgia to extend her laws
over die soil within her own limits, Ac. Jcc.
Mr, Clay i* determined to oppose every measureof the
prevent administration, [Jackson’s.] In thia opposition be
sarrifioeiall the principles he once so eloquently advoca-
tr.l. and the high fame lie acquired, as the undaunted
champion of the republican party and of its political doc-
trines. In censuringtlie President for the course he intends
I , pursue towards the Indians, and for his admission of the
rich: of Georgia and Alabama, to extend their laws over
their territorial limits. Mr C’lay goes farther than the fed-
enlist* ever did, in drfininc the powers of the federal gov-
trament and in circumscribing the powers of the States.
According to Mr. Clay’s new doctrine, the Federal Gov-
rromrnt is every thing, and the State Governments nothing.
Tue firmer is supreme, and the latter mere provincial
Governments which cannot exercise any authority, for lo-
csl purpose*, without the sanction of the Federal Govern
ment. If such a doctrine were to predominate in this conn-
try, the Union would soon be annihilated, and oil the pow
er, which the States have retained, would be concentrated
in the Federal Government, which would swallow the
Republican System now existing, and destroy toe equili-
hriumnr.w kept up by the manner the three branches of
this Government are chosen and their powers made dis
tinct sad separate. The doctrine to be inferred from the
declaration of Mr. Clay, is monstrous; it should be dis
countenanced by every friend of the country, of the consti
tution. ami of the Union of the States.
1 IVe bad yet some hopes of Mr. Clay. His last speech
and abused me for the faithful representation of the princi
ples and policy 1 altcayinvoiced, and assured them, would
govern me. My then opponents at home, (from sympathy
perhaps,) perceiving the injustice inflicted, discovering.a
similarity or agreement in policy, not manifest before, gen
eroualy overlooked onr former differences, rallied to my
support, and defended a cause which my former friends
could no longer maintain. I cheerfully accepted their aid,
on account of the interest I felt in that cause, for which I am
still feebly contending.'
According to Mr. Cooper’s statement, he has faithfully
represented and maintained “ the principles and policy”
be has always avowed and the great body ol the Dom
ocratic Party, ••from sympathy." “rallied to hit sup
port." Can it be believed, that the great body of the Dem
ocratic Party in Georgia, merely on account of the sym
pathy" which they felt for Mr. Cooper and hia few asso
dales, abandoned all their old principles, and -'ralliedSo
the support” of them, and ^he '• principles and policy"
which him and they had “ always avowed" ! J 1 Yet,
such is the assertion, as I understand it; -and by way of re
moving all doubts on the subject, Mr. Cooper says," I cheer-
fully accepted their aid." The plain English of the whole
matter is, that Mr. Cooper and his associates still maintain
an 1 atom all their old principles end doctrines, but the great
b< dr of the Democratic Party have changed their princi
ples. and gone over to them. If Mr. Cooper believed the
facts to be as he has stated them in his letter, it is sincerely
to be tegretted, that he should have felt it to have been bis
duty to officially notify ua, that we had changed our princi
ples just at this time. That somebody has changed, is be
yond doubt—for, but a short time ago, Mr. Cooper and his
removes forever, in the South at least, the resnect which ; as30c ; ate3 , were acting in direct and open opposition to the
may jet rn'ertained for his past services to the country
•ud to the republican party.”
We could adduce clher and more ample testimo
ny, and much of it under the sign-manual ofHenry
Clay himself, to answer our purpose. But, we
have already exceeded our limits; and we feel al
together confident that the authentic and recorded
Lets we have sprend before our readers, will fully
warrant us in saying, that we havo sustained the
assertions we set out with, that
1, The disposition of the Indians to retain their
Territory, became more tenacious, under the ill—
advised and visionary scheme presented by Mr.
Craw ford, in 1816, and may be adduced ns a strong
ami impelling cajsc, leading to many of the dan
gers and difficulties which we subsequently en
countered in treating with the Creeks and Chero
kee*.
0, That the wise, beneyolent, and practical plan
and measures of Mr. Calhoun, tended greatly to
meliorate the condition of the Indians, and torendet
equal and exact justice to all concerned : And,
finally,
3, That the injury and injustice which the
wicked, mischievous, and bargaining administra
tion of Adams and Clay, inflicted upon the white
as well as the red man, and the sovereign institu
tions of our country, have no parallel in the politi
cal hUstory of our (aovemnvent.
We therefore, feel justified in repeating, that the
acts of Mr. C.w.nou.v require no special pleading
for their defence: that they vindicate themselves,
and will forever remain proud records of his public
benefactions—whilst those ot Mr. Clay will be only
seen ns beacons to warn the unwary against the
shoals of Error, and at the some time, stand before
the people, eternal monuments ofhiscondemnation.

great body of the Democratic Party. They now profess to
be acting together; and if Mr. Cooper has not .changed, in
the support of the " principles and policy" which he has
"always avowed,” some ofthe Democratic Party, at least,
have been laboring under a great mistake, in the support
which they have heretofore given him. The principles of
the Union Democratic Party, are well known; the princi
ples of the Nullification Party, (of which Mr. Cooper was a
distinguished member.) are equally well known. The dif
ference between the two parties, was not in name merely—
they differed with regard to principles; and the differ
ence was totally irreconcilable: striking at the very fonnda<
tion of the Government. Perhaps the best method of vindi
cating the consistency and integrity of the Democratic Par
ty, against the charge alleged against them, will be, to in
quire, what are some of “ the principles” and the “poli
cy" which Mr. Cooper has heretofore "avowed," Ir, 1833,
when Mr. Cooper was a member of the Legislature, he
“avowed” that the several States of the Union were sover
eign and independent—that the citizen owed no allegiance
to the General Government—that each State had. the exclu
sive right to judge of the mole and measure of redress for
grieranees—that Nullification was the “ righ’ful remedy"
against oppressive and unconstitutional laws—that General
Javkson was a blood tljiraty tyrant, for issuing the Proclama
tion and sanctioning the Force Bill, as it was then called.
It will also be remembered, it was a part of the "policy" of
those who acted with Mr. Cooper at that time, to confis
cate the property of the Union men, in the event they obtain
ed the power; and it was also the ” policy’I of th« Nnllifi-
ers to stigmatize the very men who now form a large major
ity ofthe Democratic Party,, as “hose sibmissionisti,"
•imply because they supported the Constitution and laws of
their coantry. Yet, Mr. Cooper tells us in his letter, be
faithfully represents the “principles and policy” be "al
ways avowed ; and that those who were formerly opposed
to him, have " rallied to hit support." and he his “cheer,
fully accepted their aid." Accepted thetr aid to do what 7
To sustain him in the maintenance of the “ principles and
policy” which he has - always avowed" I / ! Have the
great body ofthe Democratic Party in Georgia abandoned
their principles, I sgain repeal 7—and have they, for the last
three years, been rallying to the support of Nullification, and
all its kindred absurdities 7 As a Union Democratic Re-
publican, I deny it, in the name of a Urge majority of the
Party, with whom it has tver been my pride, as well as
pleasure, to act. Mr. Cooper it certainl / mistake n, in «up-
posing -he great body of the Democratic Party abandoned
their principles and went over to him and hia associates.
They stand now, wh ire they always have stood, on the tub-
stantial platform erected by their principles; and we had
supposed Mr. Cooper and M* associates, bad abandoned
their principles and doctrines of N unification, and had ta
ken their aland upon our platform, and had adopted our
principles; but it seems he has availed himself of the oppor.
tunity in addressing an official letter to the Governor, to
notity us of our renegade position, as he understands it.
This step, Mr. Cooper may have thought necessary, to
yoke the Democratic Parly to the car ofMr. Calhoun—First
inform them officially, that they have adopted the princi
ples and policy or Nullification, and then require them to
support, for the most important offices within their gift, two
leading Nullifies—one for Governor, and the other for
President. Bat whatever hia notions may have been, the

Fanaticism.
The last Belfast (Me) Signal gives a hew feature to the
fanaticism of the Aftlleritesr It says that on Saturday last
their attention was arrested by a flag suspended upon a li
berty pole in front of Mr. John S. Barren’s House and on
visiting dial place we learned Mr. Barrett was celebrating
the coming of the first year of the second advent
of Chris’. The flag bore the inscription of the “Opening
of the Seven Seals,” and a picture representing the Bible in
seven clasps, three of which were broken. At 9 o’clock
seven ennnons were fired representing the seven thunders
that uttered their voices upon the opening of the seals.—
The bugle, fife and drum were introduced, with other cer
emonies, slid the military rattle was kept up in the grove of
6 ine trees set out for the occasion in front of the house. Mr.
arret is an honest and hard laboring man; and seetns to be
insane on no subject but religit-n. We regret that so indus
trious acitizen should waste his scanty funda in giving free
diiuieis, and propagating such enthusiasm.—Balt. Clipper.
My Ploiticr-'w Butter.
My mother’s mode was to have a barrel about a half
folofbiine.made from Turks'Island (not English) salt,
which is the purest as well as strongest. The butter when
made was divided into lumps or rolls of about four pounds
each, and pat into brine, and kept below the surface of it
by a clean board cut to fit, with holes in it.
The butter, if well worked at first, never became rancid
in the le»t, and was better twelve months after it was than
at first. - The barrel, -of course should be always in a cool
cellar; cool in summer and warm in winter.
The main object in rendering butter proof against spoil
idg.isto keep it from the air, and when put away there
should be no buttermilk or water in it, I am now speaking
offitkin butter.
The Arabs melt their butter over a slow fire, which ex
pels ail the watery particles; it will then keep without salt;
and the 1 risk have adopted with success a similar mode for
exportation to the East Indies.
The mode of keeping butter in a convenient state for
daily use, is what I thought might be new to some of your
readers, and which you can. if y >u think proper make them
acquainted with. A FARMER.
Extraordinary Births. ,
A negro woman belonging to a citizen, of this district,
was delivered cf three fine children a lew daya since; the
mother and chi-dren, two girls and a boy, we saw yes
terday, are doing well.
The Charleston Mercury of the 13th inst. says:—" h let
ter dated Editing’s Bay, July 10th, states.that a few days
ago. on the writer's plantation near Wtlton on the Edislo.
a negro woman was prematurely delivered of four children
at a birth, (wo boys and two girls. One of the children liv
ed some hours, and it was supposed they might all have
done well hid the birth nut been premature, as they were
all perfectly formed. The fact is attested by two respect
able white witnesses. 'The mother was doing well after
confinement.”
A gentleman direct from Georgia informed us, that a
short time since, in that State, a white woman had beten de
livered of five illegitimate children, at one birth, who were
alt doing welt. The neighbors immediately raised funds,
by subscription, to purchase the mother a servant to assist
in raising her brood. In such cases as these, would it ani

is done at - log rollings."—Edgefield Advertiser.

looked forward with affectionate prijc and joy.—But
ere her youthful education was complete—ete she had
attained the stage‘of life at which to enter the earthly
society around her, heaven claimed her as its own.—
—Yes! Young as she was, she was Heaven’s own,
ere death translated her to the skies—The seeds of
Christian piety bad found a genial soil in her youth
ful heart, and their blessed fruit was a Christian tri
umph, and a sweet assured hope of Ileuven in her last
hours. Adieu ! Dear Rebecca Ann. Eaith mourns
thee, whilst Heaven greets theo ! Our hearts must ever
sadden when we think of thee. Thou hast died so
young, t-j lovely, so full of fairest promise! But wo
cannot think of thee as otto whom wc have altogether
lost. Oh no! Wo can only think of thro as one too
early taktn to Heaven, nr.d beckoning unceasingly to
those wh* were dear to thco here below, to join thee
there.

REPORT.
The committer on Contracts, to whom whs referred
the petition of K. & C. Collins beg leave to Report.
That considering the precedent of allowing persons to
pass the Bridge at less than the customary rates, a baj
one, yout committee report adversely to the petition.
If such a precedent is established, every citizen who
may have business on two sides of the River, will claim
its privilege for himself—So great aie the demands up
on the income of the City, and the Council feeling
the irrrportam-c of providing for the installment due
the Slate on the Bridge, that in the opinion of your
Committee, Council would be acting in bad faith, to
do nny thing by which its tolls would be diminished.
Your Committee have reflected upon the reason urged
by the petitioners, “that they are engaged on public
wotk, and that should make their case an exception
from the general rule”—All our reflection however,
has led us to the conclusion, that this rea-on though
true in itself,should have no weight with Council, be
cause neither Council or the City of Macon, arc de
signed to be the Beneficiaries of said public work, hut
on the contrary, it yet remains to be seen, whi ther
this work, will not spriously injure the place. More
over, your committee presume that the Central Rail
Road Company will compensate Messrs. R. & C. Col
lins, for any outlay of money by them expended in
crossing tbe Bridge. JOHN. D. WINN,
