The publication of a part of J udge Clavton’sspcech this week, has excluded much original and selected matter.

Coinmunii'ations received at the office before * Itnprovisatore” claim a place before it. It will x /tainlv make its appearance in our next paper. ,V e practise upon the Miller’s rule here, “ first come, irst s’crvei” A goose n cut to Dover, Aud a goose? came over. The Ei'hor of tne Georgia Journal, our quondam Senator in Congress, in the attempt to display his philological .Acumen has certainly committed a gross stupid and inexcusable blunder. He reminds all those Edito's of newspapers w.ho have styled the Building whioh was lately burned at W ashing ton City, the “Treasury Department” th,M they have misnomcred it—that it is the “Treasury Office.’ This is right down native fatuity, or the mo. '*• unpar donable ignorance whiist lie w ts attempting’ I 030 ? tin>se better informed than himself red\ ’«• — The Building coiisurned by lire was the “Treat, ,jr y Department” in which were the offices of all she diifcrent Officers and Clerks in the “Department. ’ For example, the room in which Mr. McLean tran sacted his business was the Treasurers “ office.” — The compartment in which the Solicitor was loca ted was called the Solicitor’s “office.” As we call the building in which our Courts are held the Court house jo we would call the building where all the affairs of the Treasury are transacted, the “Treas ury Department”—to carry out the analogy far ther, as w« term the rooms in which the Cleric and Sherifftra.isact their business the “Clerks and She riff s offices,” so we would call the compartments of all the different officers of the Treasury, their ■'offices.” The whole building is the “ Treasury Department” ex vi termiki, and it would be a de parture from propriety of language to call it the “Treasury office.” So much for this“iearned The ban's” knowledge, obtained at Washington, as the | representative of the SOVEREIGNTY of the great and powerful State of Georgia. “ All is not well, I doubt some foul play.” Hamlet. Three weeks ago we had occasion to dissent from the opinions which had influenced the course of the Georgia Journal upon the late acts of the pre sent administration, and gave our readers to under stand what we believed to be the true political cast of that paper —that its Editor was a Federalist and that the paper was wholly enlisted in the Federal ranks. This was a mere deduction from the Edi torial comments upon the past measures of the ad ministration (the Proclamation and bloody-bill mes sage included) in which it was possible we might be mistaken. It seems, however, that our opinion was not ill-grounded,butturnsouttobe perfectlvand 'entirely VVc res'darly arraigned the Geor gia Journal at the bar of public opinion upon the charge ofupostacy from the democratic-republican faith, and a conspiracy with the Federal party to di vide our united counsels and to bring death and de struction upon our household. To this arraign ment the accused, in open contempt of the Court (the republicans of Georgia) stands a Mute. By the laws of the land he is to be adjudged guilty of the offence wherewith he stands charged and to have the penalty of the public law which governs politi cal bodies inflicted upon him, to wit: a regular with drawal of the patronage and countenance of all good and honest republicans. The Georgia Journal is fated, as saith the holy text, to flourish one moment and to be cut down the next. Its editor is far gone into his second childhood, and we beg the people to beas lenien twith him as a due regard to the safety of their principles will al low-. Some allowance too is to bemadeforcarly opinions imbibed in the land of his nativity. It is not easy to forget early associations, when the intel lect is iu its vigor and prime, sofar as to cloak their deformities, but when the age of imbecility comes, nature will assume her sway. We have had sev eral notable instances of this character within the last lustrum, among the feast conspicuous and least harmless of which is the good old Prince ot Feder alists, who presides over the Georgia Journal and dispenses its unheeded oracles. He is no recreant son of Connecticut Ile wears his allegiance to her lailh weil and trimly, and will lay it aside only when lie shift* his mortal coil. We again entreat lor him all due compassion. We would not see him hum hied all at once. Give him tnnrly admonition and a fair chance io mend his ways. We have no doubt he would do lietter, if he only knew how. Igno rance in politics, if not in law, excuseth one.. Hixist t! ion* but shook thy head, or made a pause, When l spake darkly what I purposed; Or turn’d an eve df doubt upon my face. As bid me tell my tale in express words; Deep shame had struck me dumb, made me break off, - And those thy fears might liaxe wrought fears In me. King Andrew quoting from King Min. •Van Buren. We have no disposition to degrade Gen. Jackson, because we delight to detract from the human char acter. Were he not at tlie head of the government and did he not wield the influence he has to the destruction of our liberties, we would not raise a whisper of our voice against him as a man. But when his character is attempted to be exalted with a view to the propagation of Ids odious Federal prin ciples, we will, if the lightning - of Heaven blast us the next instant, proclaim the corruption and demon like spirit of Andrew Jackson. He deserves the con fidence of the American people no longer. He lias betrayed them and sought to overwhelm their li berties, that he might grasp Imperial sway and transmit it to his favorite. Will freemen, will the deseendents of men who fought and bled and died for Liberty’s sake, yield homage to a single man who has swept over Freedom’s offspring with the velo city and destruction of a Persian war-chariot, mere ly because he achieved (asthe commander) the vic tory of New Orleans ! For his skill and bravery, displayed upon that occasion, we are disposed to give him full credit; liutNs not something due to to the gallant men who fought under his command' Could Jackson have achieved that victory, unaided by his officers anil rncu? Certainly not. Why then are they overlooked and all the credit awarded to Gen. Jackson? It is not just to be so partial. Who arc they whoer/down every man that dares to open his lips against the Federal doctrines of his administration? Arc they not the Federalists? Judge them by their principles, and we will wager our life that it will prove to be so. They will tell you (not to be too approbatory) that they disap prove the Proclamation. And why? Is it because they do not like its views? No, indeed. Is it be cause they fear its deleterious influence upon their darling doctrines. They know that the direct ad vocacy of the doctrines of the Proclamation and bloody message would cast Federalism and its ad vocates into darkness. This is the sole consideration which deters those half-way men from launching upon the broad ocean of Consolidation. We say to the people—watch them with Argus eyes—scan every movement closely and the treacherous tac tics of the man will be revealed to their astonish ed sight. We believe in the tried and approved maxim of Intcrdum valgus rectum ridit —that the people will see arm judge arght. “lie who falters, is nac sen of Thine.” There are some men, employed Li the public ser vice, who fear and tremble, lest some emergency may arise to draw out their opinions of Jackson’s administration. They arc too feint-hearted to say, they ore opposed to his Federal administration. At this rime it is altogetner so. There is not a single redeeming feature in it. It has practised upon the maxims and principles of the Holy Alliance that reign it must, if at the expense of lives, liberty and property. If these timid public servants are really the friends of freedom and equal rights, how can they seal their lips against the bloody tyranny of a military chieftain whose oniy recommendation is his brute courage ? Ilow can they applaud ihe character or conduct of .in adtr.in stration, with such a man at its head? What care we for Andrew Jackson? Ye Gods! is he more than man ! Do we , : !ar a man? Can he harm us? What care we Jo r life, if every moment we live, we are liable to be feti crcd and forced to follow the triumphal car of a prot. and, usurping Tyrant and made to lick the dust from »’>** feet ? No. Give us liberty or give usdeath. We tn. sfi l i» at ‘his spirit of Henry is not extinguish ed in the’ bosoms of our people. We an’ prepared to do justice to every measure of the pm ent administration which has the holy sanction oft 'i o Constitution, the Charter of our Lib erties--. Ili’t '’ ve will not, we cannot pay blind idol atry to men, i egardless of the political principles which incite tit lo action. We have no personal animosities to gi utify towards Gen. Jackson, but we curse the spirit ot the man which stirred him up to plunge the dagger through the bosom of Liberty to roach the heart oj' the man, whose life-blood he would have drawn to appease his hungry venge ance. The instant arid direct murder of die man. who had incurred his ff.tepand deadly hate, would have met with more indulgence in our sight than the immolation —the truculen? and cruel murder of Freedom. To have slaved L ; s enemy with the wea pon of the assassin Would hav ? been but the loss of one man. The destruction of .Liberty is the death and damnation of millions yet u thorn. Dare you, ye base minions of power and pet/, breathe the free spirit we do. The Dank of tlicL’uiCed States and Jlartia Tan Ihircit. We have not any confidence in the houesty of the views which influence Mr. Van Buvn. The ambitious, aspiring men of New York ana Pennsylvania unblushiagly vclepe themselves dem ocrats with as little ceremony as we would don and doff a coat,without the least pretension to the name upon principle. At this day there are but few re publicans in either of the States. Tlie names by which the two parties have been distinguished, are now, with them unmeaning phrases—they are as sumed to subserve the crafty purposes and ambi tious designs of the demagogue. They are made mere cabalistic phrases. The Vice President has already set his machi nery to work, through the agency of which he ex pects to be made tlie President ofThe United States. The people are to be operated upon by the influ ence of the public deposites, which are to be with drawn from the United States Bank, at the immi nent hazard of producing its total insolvency, and placed in the State Banks, under the superintend ence and agency of the pliant tools of the adminis tration, who are to use the public funds to corrupt the people by buying tltuir suffrages to elevate the most abandoned and corrupt politician that ever held an office under the government of the United States. It is easy to perceive the I tearing that this movement will have in advancing the political pros pects ofthe adopted heir of Gen. Jackson The new offices without number, to be created by this transfer of the public funds to tlie State Banks, all of which he will have filled by men who are known and approved friends to his election with tlie un bounded influence w hich the command @fthe money j will give these purchased servants, can not fail to I jKjllute lltc sources of freedom and to enslave the j jieopfe. Wo admonish the people of this State, in time of the schemes proposed by Martm Van Buren t o secure their votes to aid his election. ■leiglio! Tlie Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, P. V. Dan iel, has refused the acceptation of the nomination of Neopolitan Commissioner. This is mortified vani ty. The office we presume was not big and fat enough for I im. If the labourer is always worthy of his hire, Peter V. deserves a better and more honorable office thau Commissioner. What cle gan’ manners the old General has got! Say you so now Peter V!

Resolved 2dly—That thosp who are peevish and discontented, whether from natural temper or dis appointed ambition, being nlive to their own griev. auees, are best qualified to discover those of others; and as it is believed that several ofour disappointed candidates for C ongress, as well as the said leading members ofour Legislature, aro of this description! the public may depend upon their zeal and acti. vity in fishing tor causes ol dissatisfaction. Resolved, 3Jly—That fools have always the high est opinion of their own wisdom, which they evince by perpetually giving advice and direction to others, and the great pains and trouble some of our said leading politicians have been at to inform the good people of this State, what was their own will, and what was best for them in relation to the abolition of the Penitentiary, the call of a Southern Conven tion and other matters of high impost, would be proof of their folly—did not the following Resolu tions founded or. principles implicitly received by all patriotic politicians putir in the power of any states man to be wise even to infalibility. dtbly, Resolv’d—That it has been resolved by all patriotic associations, that to bo free, a nation or a great society has only to will it; anj as a small so. ciety or even an individual is as capable of willing us a great one, and h ive an eqctil right to do so, a small society or an individual may be free whenev. er such society or indivdual is pleased to will it.

Earnestly impr-ns. ed with the dangers which thus Inipe i as. E do resolve, That the provisions of the en forcing bill, which places the army, navy vi ! mi litia of the country at the disposal of the. President, to be wielded runny of the c mrlry, but against the country itselt; Which empower'! him to call the pedple from their neccM-ary oe.si] .tior<. to aid in the i molation of their brethren on the till ter of avarice and ambition—w-bich gives him in effect the uncontrolled management of the finances ofthe country and just at that moment of time when we should have been rejoicing ot our entire free, dom from fiscal obligations; which empowers bim to accumtllete a debt without any kind of litnita. tions; to be subsequently paid hy those who are to be enslaved by its appropr atiun, which gives to the President the power of regulating commerce by au thorizing him to control or stop tho intercourse of certagi porta—and by demanding such payments of duties at such ports ns arc not required at all the ports of the U. .; which increases the powers of the ttpreme Court to the prostration of the most valued rights ofthe States; which places the milita. ry above the civil powers of the Government: which considers tho acts of a state in its highest sovereign capacity as lawless and treasonable and with ons tell sweep to prostrate the rights of the States and build upon their r in a government of unlimited powers. AU and each of its provisions betray a disregard for the Consftulion, which we consider fat ii to hi- pr. sen anon of cur liberty.
