* »-F the n a c o nr Georgia telegkapii. % From the (iaisnt.'r Pioneer, Mr. Stephens, Last week wo had -pace only for the re mark, in substance, that Mr. Stephens, ihe whig candidate for Congress, had appeared n- ntong | ls> and lind made, in a public address, an nrtfuj effort to win votes for himself and Mr. Clay. In this effort ho did not confine himself to the merits of a United States bank and pro tective tariff, nor to the merits of Mr. Clay or Mr. Stephens, but relied pri ict pally upon our veneration for General Washington, ns the chanty;! through which ho hoped to wet mi him self into our affections. He did not contend, in terms, that ho was General Washington himself, in flesh and blond, identically se ipse General Washington, because the most ignor ant among ns knew tbit General Washington was dead; hut from signs that appeared, espe cially among the little boys, it was evident that - his ingenuity brought a few to believe that he was General Washington in character and spirit, and perhaps a few may vote for him on litis account. He declared himself in favor of a United Slates bank, a id clearly showed that lie was General Washington in ih>s respect, for ho proved by the record, that General Washington had signed a hank charter. But if he had only been artless enough to have gone one step further, and proved by the re cord, ns be could have done, that General Washington signed that charter before the n- doption of the amendments to the constitution, and that from tho nature of these amendments. General Washington would now be, if living, the Inft man, in all probability, who would sign such a charter; the comparison between himself and the father of his country would have been at an end, and he would have re sembled General Washington less than a red cent resembles gold coin. • _ After miking political capital of the name of Washington as others have done before Him, Mr. Stephens proceeded to the next step in the plan of his address, which was to mnke the same use of the name of Democrat. Tin’s, he supposed would entitle him to our votes, of; course, and also to the-privilege of turning out of the party whomsoever ho pleased. At this crisis in our affairs, to destroy Maj. Cooper, would be destroy the Democratic Party, and knowing this, Mr. Stephens in his assumed character of Democrat, leveled his sarcasm a- gainstMaj. Cooperand all the old State Rights men ofour parly, who having had the sagacity and firmness to stand up against bank and tar iff amidst the stratagems of 1840, are now an eyesore to the wbigs. But the Democrats have “cut their eyeteeth,” and will never permit the enemy to divide and conquer them by at tempts to excite prejudice, and to sow the seeds of discord and strife among them. We know Maj. Cooper—ho was true to correct principles on the plains of Florida—ho was true to correct principles in the halls of con-- gross—he was firm and erect amidst the coon- skin storm of 1840, and so he will be, when lie is the Governor of Georgia. . The expedient next in order, in the course of Mr. Stephen’s address, was the attempt to win us over by operating on our risible faculties, rm.l to this end ho brought up the comical case of the old negro man London, and the angel of death—it was chock foil of capital fun, and had an electric effect for a moment, especially, among the little boys, but it failed to convince a single grown man that it would bo safe to cost bis vote for blue-light federalists under the stolen name of whigs. To tho same end, and ■with the ndditiona : view of tickling us into love with the tariff, he related the incident ..f the Countryman’s mistaking a Roil Road locomo tive for the tariff ; this was a thrilling incident, ■well timed and well told, but its effect was mo- nientary—it soon died away, and left all the Democrats as it found thorn Cooper men, Stark men, anti bank men. anti-tariff" men, anti-Clay men, and anti Stephens men.—Cooper is the watchword in Cass, Mr. Stephens. !ship of all persons who claim to be while men, but who are supposed to possess any portion of negro blood.—And this law, if we mistake not, was introduced by Mr. Crawford and passed without a dissenting voice. By the-byo, what will the Times & Report er. and its friends, do with Messrs. Bruce npd Hibberts, from Lumpkin, and Mr. Tittle from Dade ?—By referring to page 268 of the Jour nal of the Mouse of Representatives of the last Legislature, they will there find that the Hons took up a *• hill to grant ilia rights of citizen ship to certain persons (the bill read “free persons of color") therein named, and to re move all disabilities heretofore imposed on a rid persons. On the passage of the bill, the Yeas wen* 3, viz: Messrs. Bruce and hlibbcrts, of Lumpkin, and Tittle of Dade. The Nays were 159; and among them it will find the name of George \V. Crawford. If the editor of the Tunes & Reporter is disposed to conduct au honorable political warfare, he will either Copy tit's or do Mr. Crawford justice. We ask i(>e public to examine .the law here referred to, and feel no hesitancy in lvlieving. that every man ofcommon sense, uninfluenced by party prejudice, will say wo arc sustained in assuming the following positions : 1st. By the first section of this law, the jur isdiction of citizenship, is given exclusively to lilt?. Superior court. Whereas, as the law for merly Mood, every court had u r’ght to deter mine the matter. If a free negro attempted to vote, the manager* could decide upon Ins rights and refuse his vote. If a free negro was sworn as a witness or juror in a justices court, or any other court, his right could be imme diately determined by refusing hts services, and rejecting Lis testimony. But it is obvious this statute intends every one claiming the rights of citizenship, (and any free negro may claim it,) shall exercise those rights until he is sued according to the second section. 2d. Our second position is, the law is favora ble to free negro citizenship, and that a free negro can exercise all the rights of a citizen, until some one has enough of public spirit to commence an action against him, ned thereby subject themselves to great inconvenience, without the possibility of receiving any indivi dual advantage. And it is f.iir to presume, that many free, negroe^ will actually exercise tbn plnltic rtf without evpii sued D E M O C R A C Y. the City Council and tlie it is true, tiie tax paid; but •Tlr.

A It It. 03” The Committee appointed to supply the vacancy oc casioned by the non.nceeptanre of Mr. Ray, have made choice of John Lamar, Esq. which completes our ticket. In a town some fifty miles from Boston, the members of n religious society were in the hab it of holding conference meetings, in the church, at which they made a kind of audible confession, technically called recounting one’s ■“experience.” A very pious member of the church, Mr. D , was in the habit of inviting bis neighbor Mr. L , who was not a mem ber, to attend these meetings, at one of which .Mr. D got up and sta'cd to the congrega tion that lie was a great sinner—that ho sinned daily, and with his eyes open—that he wilfully •und knowingly sinned—that goodness dwelt rtot not in him—that Ire was absolutely and totally depraved—that nothing but the bound less mercy and infinite goodues of God could save him from eternal damnation. After this confession of Mr. D , Mr. L , who had by accident been placed upon the “ anx ious seat.” was called upon to recount his “ex perience.” He arose and with most imper- turuble gravity, stated that lie had very liuleto say for himself, but the brethren would remem ber that he had lived for five-nnd-twenty years the nearest neighbor of Mr. D , that lie knew lum well—more intimately so than any other man—and it gave him great pleasure, because ho could do it with entire sincerity, to confrrn the truth of all brother J)—had con fessed of himself. When Mr. L. sat down un der tho visible and audible smile of the whole congregation, the parson not excepted, Mr. D. went up to him and said, “ You arc a ras cal and a liar, and I’ll lick you when you get out of church.”—Boston Post. From the Mountain Times. The pubfisheis of this paper in our last week’s impression, promised, that so soon ns we return home, our views in relaiion to the true intent and meaning of the statute which we char ged in a previous number of this paper, giving ihe right of citizenship to n certain cl ass of free negroes in this iStnte, should be forthcoming, and, ns we are again at onr post, we now sit down to redeem the promise. And us the Journal asks it, us an act of jusiice, •.vo here copv his strictures entire on the arti- c. alluded to.

But we will remark, that the Editor oftlic “ Times & Ile- porte.’ had better go to school and learn to understand what he reads, before lie ventures to give currency to such stuff! We have refer red to page 32 of IS 10, so far from finding any *’ ing like ‘giving Ireo negroes the rights of citizenship,’’ wo there find a law to prevent ihem from exercishig that right hv the appoint ment of a tribunal to tiy the rights of citizen- the rights of a citizen, without even being sued under the statute. 3J. Our third -position is, that under this law, many free negroes may procure friendly suits to be instituted against them, in which t be plaintiff (being a friend) may neglect to prove the amount of negro blond in the defendant— and thereby, forever fusion on the people of Georg : a, the disgrace of free negro citizen- ship. We aie aware that the provision of the third section, may sometimes prevent such collusion,” but it is unreasonable to suppose there is much preventive in that section. 4th. Our fourth position is, that under Ibis law, any free negro whose blood cannot be b*e» *erious. proven, may become a citizen of Georgia by the bad policy of this law, removing the proof of blond, from the negro to the white man. winch is contrary to the entire policy of our fathers. 5th. As the fifth section, expressly provides, that the plaintiff is to prove the defendant is one eighth negro; we hold this position, that Mr. Crawford’s law gives to all free negroes, being less than one eighth negro, the right of citizenship; and we believe no candid man will rend the law, and deny it. We are there fore constrained to think, that the political warmth of the Journal got the better of its candor, when it said the statute was designed to prevent free negroes from having the pght of citizenship.—We are constrained to believe that several tilings contained in the remaik-sof the Journal, were made in the heat of party feelings, and not in the warmth of patriotic in vestigation. But as we suppose no personal off-nee was intended, we feel disposed”to let them remain in their present unnoticed condi tion, to which, by their nature, they are so ad mirably adapted. , In conclusion, we ask the public, closely to examine the law in question, and detcimiue for itself, whether Mr. Crawford’s law is not more Ikely to confer the rights of citizenshid upon a certain class of free negroes, titan t'» create a tribunal to prevent them* from exercis ing those rights. One question to the Journal, and we shall have done. Would you be so warm in your friendship to Air. Cmwfojd’s free negro law, were it not for the aid you expect to the party, that lias enfranchised a portion of colored vo ters 1 Since the nbove was in type, we have had the pleasure of an introduction to Mr. Craw ford, and have conversed with hint as to his object in introducing the bill referr d to,.into the Legislature. Mr. Crawford said Iris object was to give to all persons having less than one eighth of negro blood the right of cit zetislrp ; and to erect a tribunal wiih power to prevent persons having one-eighth, or more ofnegro blood, from exercising those rights. It is f-iir to presume from the very open, public, and candid manner, in which Mr. Crawford avowed his sentiments on this policy, that he did not thank the Journal, or Jefferson ian, for denying for him, opinions which lie not only did possess, but which he had ex pressed in a way not to be misunderstood. Although wo widely differ wiih Mr. Crawford on the subject of allowing to a certain class of freo negroes the rights of citizenship, and it is probable that on that subject we shall continue to differ, yet we confess his manly avowal of his principles, won from us, an esteem for his moral courage, which ihe low and truckling policy, of deny ing it, ns practised by dm Jour nal could never gain.

A friend writes us from Clarksville, uuder date of the S2d inst., as follows : ‘•From all that 1 have seen.

We have been shown, by Sir. Charles Collins ’some re mains discovered iu excavating the earth tor the Central Rail Road, near the latge mound, in the vicinity of thiaeity, a few day since. About four feel below the surface of tlie earth, a large earthen- pot was discovered, which would probably hold about 8 gallons,—but it was unfortunately broken in the excavation.

Since the above paragraph appeared, a number of additio nal relics ofthe ‘olden time’ have been disinterred from their long sleep, in the same vicinity.

The Savagnah Herald-of last Wednesday, says, “Coun- t;rfeit ten cent pieces sre iu circulation in the city to a great extent. We have seen several within the past week — Their appearance are quite genuine, bat can be easily de' lected by droping them on some hard substance.” Buren, one of the great lights of Democracy, who was equally explicit in denouncing the system. Yet, notwithsianding all this, the Clay papers Imve not yet corrected their unauthorized and gra'ui- lotis assumptions; but seem determined, in the very front of Truth herself, to peisist in tlie course of deception, which they Imve been so long and recklessly pursuing. Will they do lheir adversa ries thecoinmon justice toplace them before the peo ple in their right position ? We hope they will—even ifthey do not feel disposed to publish tlie letters of Messrs. Calhoun and Van Buren, which distinctly disavow the charge that has been so unjustly brought against them. We ale not content, however, in thus merely repe’ling and disproving the declarations of the Clayiies, hut we will most conclusively shew that their leading measures of policy go, not only to es tablish a high protective Tariff, but also that odious system of Direct Taxation, which they have falsely charged upon tlie Democratic parly. It is, then, , in the first place, admitted by all, that theCiayites will,in the event of their getting into power, which Heaven lorfend, incorporate, without delay, a -United States Bank'. It is their great and favorite policy, through which they hope to control the General Government, and perpetuate their political existence. To shew then, that a Back of the United States would foster and encour age the most lush and exorbitant -system of Taxa tion that could be imagined, we present our read ers with the following facts and .estimates, which a^e truly assumed by a strong and clear-headed writer in aJiaie Conslitutitmalisl: ' - • “Suppose this Capital divided into shares of Si 00 each, and that each share holder -will average 100 .hares you have 5000 share holders of the vealthiest most powerful and most influential men in the United Stales directly' interest ed to the amount of $10,000 each, in laying as high taxes as the people will bear, or as they can be cheated out of. Re member all the taxes pass through, the bank, and are used for the benefit of the bank, as long as the government can do without them. Then I ask you, will not these 5,000 men vote for a high tariff, and exert all their influence to have one- fastened on us at least as long as the bank exists ? But I am asked, what can 5,000 men do in a population of 17,000.000! I answer a great deal: 5,000 men of wealth trtid talents directly, largely, ami personally interested, having a common’ interest dispersed over the union, but acting in concert under one common head can do much, very much, towards accomplishing any objecL This is noi allit is a moderate calculation, so suppose each of these 5.000 share-holders have twenty connexions and depen dents directed interested in their prosperity, besides mul titudes more remotely interested ; 5,000 by 20 is 100,000 persons scattered all over the Union, directly interested in the prosperity of the bank, which can be as effectualjy promoted by no other mea'sure as by a high tariff. Still there are in- re: we must believe the bank will establish a branch, if nomore, in each State, (say thirty branches Will employ and interest af least twenty persons; 600 multiplied by these connexions and dependents, 20 each, is 12.000. And you have nn aggregate army of 117,600 men, each a captain scattered over the Union, directly interested in Are prosperity of the bank, and consequently in a high tariff, exerting all their power, and all their influence, to have us taxed high, because every dollar wrung from us goes to increase tbe ability of the bank to pay nigh salaries and large dividends.* Here, we linve a plain statement of facts, which, instead of being exaggerated, do not in truth, ex hibit the whole force and influence that a United States Bank could employ in fixing u|»on the peo ple high and heavy (axes, and appropriating to it self, all the substantial benefits of a government currency. To prove this, a mere reference to the history of the uses and abuses of the late United States Bank, is all that is necessary. Its pecula tions and frauds—its undue connection with the political affairs ofthe country—its bribes and dou ceurs, ttsedrorcontrowlttigelections; and the influ ence it exercised over, the General Government, which enabled it to beard her, even in her own Hulls of Legislation, are now, parts and parcels of out political history—they arc fresh in the memo ry of all, and their tremendous and paralyzing ef fects upon individual prosperity and happiness, and the general trade and credit of the country, both nt home and abroad, still comiuue to be most sensibly felt.. We have thus exhibited, among other of its a- buses, tlie inevitable tendency of a United States Bank to create and lirster excessive taxation. But this is not all: it would, ultimately, in connection with tlie assumption of the debts of the Slates, bring about a ruinous system of Direct Taxation —that very system about which the Clayites af fect so much botror and repugnance!—Wcie the Government to assume the debts of the States, which Mr. Clay and has followers would have Iter to tlo; or, which is just the same tiling, only iu different words, were she to adopt Mr. Clay’s Plan for distributing the public domain, it would have to be tfbne by taxing the people to the whole amount <f the debts due by the States—but, this direct consequence, -which would, as sure as fate, flow from the adoption of the measure, is carefully and criminally hid from the eyes of tlie people, whom the Clayites are attempting to bamboozle witli tbe false and visionary idea that the money to meet the deficit which must necessarily accrue in the U. States Treasury upon tiie adoption of suclt a plan, would come out of the purse of the General Government, and not out of the pockets of the people, as it most certainly would. It is an indisputable maxim in political economy, sanctioned and established by practical results, thni protective duties, necocding to their degree, either partially, or wholly, exclude importations from foteign ports—and that, whatever has the slightest tendency totake away from the revenue of a Government, leaves a deficiency to be sup plied, Which must be made up by taxing the peo ple who support those protective duties. The rea son of litis is plain—as, Jbr instance: If the City Council of Mo eon were, for tbe joint purpose of where they could gel abetter or more honest mar ket—in either event, tlie measure would be great ly annoying, not only to tbe buyets, but to the tra ders and the City Council themselves; and, in the end, could not fail, materially to impair, if it did not altogether destroy the interests of all concerned. Suclt is the practical operations of a Tariff for pro tection: and we have brought it home to the busi ness, bosom and doors of the people of Bibb, so tha* thev may look upon its disastrous effects, in a true and proper light. Let, iben, Henry Clay and his advocates in Georgia be elected, and the Government will be most assuredly saddled with a United States Bank, a Protective Tariff, and an Assumption Act. These measures will soon cut off her resources, and so diminish her revenue as to leave her no other alternative than that of resorting to an intol erable system of Direct Taxation, or of applying to a Congress of the Civilized Powers throughout the World, to grant her a certificate of National Bankruptcy!

Asa? ' teotive Tariff! and her resources cut off by the loss of her public domain, where would be tbe reven ue for the support of Government? Sjte must either fly to Bankruptcy or Direct Taxation. If tbe people .of Georgia are desirous of being instrumental in bringing about such a state of things, all they have-to tlo, is, to vote for Crawford os their Governor—for Stephens and* as heir.membcrs to Congress, and for tlie Cloy men, generally, who have been announced as candi dates for Site next Legislature.

One of the objections I have urged against high pro tective duties, is, that it would hasten tlie pe riod when a resort to a system ofinterual tax ation would become necessary. 1 om, and-ttl ways have been, ofthe opinion that liieduiie- on iinporls and the proceeds of the sales of tie- public hind, are tho legitimate sources ^of the revenue of the union, a al that it will prove a severe trial to the federal government when ever it shall be forced t« resort to internal taxes to meet its ordiu try expenditures; un lerthis impress on, ns w.

The two last Numbers contain ■nothing of a political nature, if we except some gen eral strictures on Presidfcnt Tyler’s administration, and a well written essay, by O. A.
