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

have had to divide it.

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

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

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

t o secure their votes to aid his election.

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.
Stilly Resolved—That as it is as easy to will one
thing as another, if our would be leading politicians
shall be pleased to will themselves wise, they are
"use, therefore fully competent to declare and di.
reot public opinion,
Cthly, Resolved—That the Sovereignty of the go
vernment of the United States resides in tlie t’resi.
dent, nnd that the sovereignty of the State of Geor
gia belongs alone to the Legislature thereof and the
aforementioned politicians.
7thly, Resolved—That John Forsyth and James
M. Wayne were the only disinterosted patriots
in our late Congressional delegation, ns they nobly
abandoned the interest of their own State fr the
“General elfare,” and that without 'reward or
the hope thereof.”
Stilly, csolved—That this meeting shall corrrs.
pond with no other meeting or society, nor admit
any new member, bat continue to meet once a week,
and resolve w hatever it may be judged proper to be
resolved until it shall be disported by a Proelamn.
tion of the President, or nullified bv an executive or

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

V e do therefore resolve- Tint we will with our
lives nnd fortunes resist to the luvt extremity the
r.NFortTMENT ot the said provisions—kjt is further
resolved—That the support which nvssrs. Forsvth
