From the Huntsville Democrat.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.
Wc have perceived from various sources, n
disposition to bring this question before the
public, but generally traced its origin to per
sons living north of the Potomac. Notwith
standing the great delicacy of the subject we
felt no alarm at these indications, because
we were assured by the most eminent north
ern men, in both Halls of Congress, from the
bench, the pulpit, and through the press, that
none hut fanatics and visionaries, without
friends or influence, manifested any desire to i
tamper with it; and that the great body of
their enlightened population, entertained just
sucji sentiments as wc would have them to
entertain.
We are now compelled reluctantly, we eon
less to withdraw our confidence from sucit as
surances, to some extent. Our attention has
recently been called to a speech delivered by
Air. Burgess of Rhode Island,on Vcrplank’s
hill, during Lie last Congress, which displays
throughout; a rancorous and vulgar hostility
to the slave holding population? which no
momentary excitement could produce, and
no deliberate consideration of the subject
justify. It appears to he an attempt to arr.tv
the free white lain r of the north, in feeling
and interest, against the slave labor of the
South by argument, by appeals to passions
and prejudices, Uv ridicule, by abuse. We
have not seen the whole of that speech, hut
shall lay 1 e ore our readers such parts of it,
next week, as sustain tile charges here made
against it. The constitution protects this
property, and prudence and policy, demand
that it should not he disturbed. Tnere exists
as we believe, a settled determination to re
sist all interference with it, from whatever
quarter, by such means as will he efficient. —
l( is well enough, therefore, that this deter
mination he known and the question nut at
rest. Its evils wc deplore. They cannot at
this time be diminished, and the first move
Btpon the subject should be left to those who
are iuterosted in tic subject.”
‘ Yet the fact which extorts this admission from
the Southern Advocate, is surely but slight, in com
parison with the mass of proofs that can he brought
to this matter. NVe vill cite a few of die leading
ones.
M r. Adams’ great rep i t - the first ever studious
ly and elaborately made, in Congress. It was cm.
ployed by the ultra Northern party, as their capital
resource against us :
Tiie language in debate of a number of the mem
bers of t engross, from the free States - language so
strong, that even Col. Drayton felt compelled to re

The praises heaped upon that report, by a multi-1
tilde of die Northern papers; and the efforts made

which the greater part, even when they disavow |

this question :

incut ready to make itself the instrument of any j
such arbitrary measure, and strong enough to uii-*
dcitukc any thing it pleases. — ul. Times.
From the Alabama Kxposiler.
The battle ol' roj uhlicariism is again so he !
fought, and as present appearances seem to j
indicate, against fearful odds. The Federal
ists of 1798, —the manufacturers and all con- j
ncctcd in interest with them, who desire to ;
reap large harvests from the operations of
government ; and office seekers, whose polar
star is a blind devotion to the powers that he,
have organized an opposition which threa
tens the subversion of our fundamental poli
tical principles, and the establishment of the
government on the plundering principle that j
the labor of the many should be appropriated
to support the profligacy, ambition or avarice J
of the /etr. The Apostle of Liberty, Jeffer
son, around whom our fathers gathered to v in
dicate their rights, is no snore, and his sacred
mantle has descended on politicians, whose
highest patriotism is circumscribed to the,
low desire of using it for self aggrandize-1
ment, reckless of the disgrace they may in
flict on constitutional liberty orihe ruin they
may bring upon the country— Jacks have;
clothed themselves with the Lions skin, and 1
their ciuven bravings arc bringing State
Rights and State Remedies into disrepute.
It is time the people should arouse themselves
and once more assert the principles of the
, character of their liberties. It is time that
those who advocate the doctrine of consoli
dation, under ’.iio- holy banner of the Union
and flic Constitution, should be compelled to
separate themselves from the republican
ranks. !t is time to prepare the lots, they
will assuredly fall upon the apostate political
Jonahs, and our ship of state be saved.’ Jt
is time tiiat men should he judged by the
principles they advocate, and not the impos
ing name they may choose to assume. It is
time to ro-assertthc doctrines of ilia republi
can party of 1798. Let us adduce the refin
ing test. Tiie Virginia Resolutions, which
have been the proud boast of the republican
party, declare that “ it views the powers ofj
the Federal Government as resulting from i
the compact, (the Constitution) to which the ■
Stales are parties, as limited by the plain I
sense anti intention of the instrument contti-,
I lut| ng that compact, as no farther valid than !
(hey arc authorised by the grants enumerated !
in that compact jand that in cases of a deli- j
berate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of j
other powers, not granted by the said com-:
pact, the States who arc parties thereto,
have a right, and are in duty bound to inter
pose lor arresting the progress of the evil,
and for maintaining, within their respective
limits, the authorities, rights and liberties ap
pertaining to them.” Agaih, the Kentucky
Resolutions of the same era, among other
tilings declare, “ that to this compact, (the
constitution) each State acceded as a State,
and is an integral party; that this Govern
ment, (the United States) created I,v this
compact, was not made the exclusive or final
judge of the extent of the powers delegated to
itself, since that would have made its discre
tion and not the constitution, the measure of
its powers; but that as in all other cases of
compact, among parties having no common
judge, each party has an equal right to judge
for itself as well of infractions, as of the
mode and measure ol redress.” These are
the doctrines ol republicanism, as promulga
ted by Jefferson and Madison, and the Le
gislatures of Virginia and Kentucky, and
were the rallying points, around which our
fathers assembled, and achieved a glorious
victory over federal leaders and federal usiir
pations. But these principles are unblush
ingly denied, by men who call themselves re
publicans, and claim powers and prerogatives
lor the federal government, entirely dtstruC'
ive of the Union of thess United States, as de
fined by our faderal constitution. Bv what
strange mairic have these inconsistencies
been brought about? Why were some men
two years since, so cimnerous about the cir
culation ot a lew copies of Daniel Webster’s
speech—and why are they now so b< V In
commendation of the principles contained in
that speech, and in praising the President’s
proclamation, which reiterates these princi
ples ? J here is something wrong in Den
man;,and the time-serving seeker of populuii
tv, who directs his course with every fitful
breeze, will learn alter the people Him their
attention to the principles of thetr govern
ment, (hat he lias changed once too often ;
that he has changed from stable principles to
evanescent popularity.
It is my purpose hereafter, to take up the
resolutions of Virginia and Kentucky, and
prove from tlie political records of the coun
try, that t.iey contain the true exposition of
the principles on which our federal govern
ment is founded, and that Daniel AVebster
and President Jackson, and all the small fry
politicians who follow in sheirwake, have as’,
sumed a dangerous and untenable ground,
when they assert, that the federal constitution
consolidated the political power of the States,
ami that she federal government is supreme
in all things, or is, in other words, file exclu
sive and final judge of the extent of the pow
ers delegated to it, and that its decision,
m ight or wrong, salutary or ruinous, constiT
tutiorial or despotic, is oliligatorv'”oii the
El ites, and that they are hound to acquiesce,
or incur she peaceful and republican execu
tion of an odious law, by Executive swords,
enlisted bayonets, anti a standing army.

ts During the presont tern of the Superior Coun
of Bibb county, Kdwiu ]£. Harford, late Cashier ol
the Branch of the Darien Bank, at Macon, was con
victed of the cilarges of embezzlement, and sentenc

1 T The antics ot baby politicians have often n.
mused us: but the course pursued hv the beardless
editor of the Southern Danner, is well calculated tci
do more injury than good so the cause of Maj Craw ,
ford. We have given our opinion of the virtues and
patriotism of this distinguished gentleman ; and al
though the puerile taunts of the enfledged conduc
tor of the above paper cannot he regarded by us, yet
I there are many ot ers of our faith, who may be dis.
: posed to give them more consequence. We would
i say to the guardians of this juvenile editor, restrain
the exuberance of your ward’s zeal, lest it does
more injury than benefit to the opponcut of the pre
sent Governor.
“ Frosn grave so gay.”
Asa relict to our readers, wo present them this
week with our sheet almost entirely filled with Li.
terary and Miscellaneous matter. With the Ther.
iiiomcter at 90, exciting discussions iu polities should
he avoided: they might bring on the Dillious fever,
and perhaps the Cholera itself. Kor the present we
avoid both. The mind should he permitted to take a
quiet stroll in the embowered shades of I’arnassus,
and sip (drinking is vulgar and unetherial) the cool
w aters ot Helicon and Castaly.
The Convention— Reduction, and other titles that
pain our eye with their staring capitals—the fire
and lury flashing from their full faces, wc have stu.
diousiv and considerately, as we think, eschewed
for the present. At this time, wc have no “ cool”
feelings towards a single individual, not even the
authors ot the Proclamation and Bloody Dill; und we
would not be accessary, in such a placid state of
mind, to the instigation ol passion and perspiration
in them, much less in our readers.
Lxtraordiitttry !
The Federal Union, in one of its editorials oflast
w eek, speaking ot •* the scheme of Reduction” a
doptcdbytlic late Convention, says—
“ It is fouuded on principles of generous conces
sion and magnet i i.nous forbearance on the part of the
strong, of enlightened justice, and of pure democra
cy. It yields no southern principle, it hazards no
southern interests.”
Wc have placed the above extract from the Edi
torial columns of the Federal Union, in our own to
day- M e do this, as much for the purpose of ren*
dering it matter of history, as to enquire where
these “ principles of generous concession and mag
nanimous forbearance” are to be found ? Wc con
fess ourselves unable to appreciate that “generous
concession” which takes from the majority of the
people that portion of power which of right belongs
to them.
Wc may be dull and obtuse in this matter. Our
optics may be dimmed too by the tear that half starts
from our lid at contemplating this manifest depravi
ty of our political adversaries—for w'e are philan
thropic to a fault. Our school-boy lore has taught
us, “ to err is human”—“ to forgive, divineand
the course of tho Clark party, in the Convention, has
sufficiently established their claim to this attribute
of humanity. We have, however, pardoned their
aberrations from the path of rectitude—a path,
where, like Mahomet’s bridge to Heaven, the swerv
ing of a hair’s breadth, proves fatal. Charitably
disposed as we are, even to an enemy, we are wil
ling to forbenr rebuking this “ flourish of trumpets”
at the “ generous concession” we have experienced:
but we feel it our duty to put our “ dubitatur” on
this dogmatical assertion of the Federal Union. If
such “ concessions” have been granted, it is well
that wc should know it, that we may give “ credit
whore credit is due!” As it is, we must cry with
Ajax,
“ Give me but light, and Ajax asks no more.”
And if the Federal Union has the ability and incli
nation, to spare us even a “ glimmering ” we take
it without grumbling, and give our lhanks in return.
Wc have not seen any of these •’generous conces
sions !” Hut, we can readily see the “ magnani
mous forbearance,” which the Federal Union says
has been exhibited “on the part of the strong,” in
the Convention. Truly, wc have fallen on strange
times : A corrupt majority in a body, called toge
ther to act for the good of the people at large, neg.
lecting their instructions, abasing their trust, disre.
garding the plain principles of equal representation,
they were imperiously called upon to observe, and
attempting to monopolize power in the handjiot the
minority, for the benefit of the lew, and because they
have not excluded their honest and patriotic oppo.
rents from all share in the government, claiming
to themselves the credit es a “ magnanimous for.
bearance.” Magnanimous forbearance forsooth !
Stick a pin there. Why it reminds us of the “mag
nanimous forbearance” of the Fox in the iiiblc, that
retrained from luting oil the head of the Crane, when
it was thrust in his mouth to extricate the bone
from Ins throat. We would commend 'h< fable to
the attentive perusal of the id.tor of 'he Federal 1
Union.
DOMESTIC.
From the Southern Recorder.
VS lien we lake up our pen to shew the ine
quality of the proposed plan of Reduction,
concocted by the late Convention, vve are on
ly at a loss to determine what particular in
the wise and liberal scheme, to begin with.
However, as the grand and distinguishing
characteristic of our government consists in
the equal participation of political privileges
by its citizens, wc cannot perhaps, better
shew how this (uudamental principle has been
disregarded, than by contrasting some of the
Senatorial Districts as constituted by the Con
vention; and in order to w hich, we would
ask the attention of our readers to the follow-
I iug tables.

We have thus presented the subject iri a
variety of aspects, iu cithri of which, the in
equality, so faras regards the District system,
must strike with astonishment, the most care
less observer. So much for tins part of the
proposed amendment of our Constitution. We
have, in view of the above, only this question j
to ask—ls this inequality hi the privileges of 1
our fellow-citizens may be called an amend
ment of our system, woul I not the amendin' nt.
be amended on the same plan, by making th<

CHEROKEE COUNCIL.
(Agreeably to previous notice, a large num
ber of the Cherokccs assembled at the Red
Hill, on the Tennessee side of the Geoigia,
on the 12th May. The object of the meet
ing was to take into consideration, the pro
1 priety of accepting the oiler of tho General
j Government, recently made them for their
j claim to lands on this side of the Mississippi.
The Council was generally attended upon tho
I part of the intelligent portion of their people,
j and very liberally attended hy the common
1 Indians. They remained in Council several
: days, upon this all important subject, and
have at length as we believe, contrary to their
I own inclinations, and interests, permitted
: themselves to be made the dupes of intrigue,
kneeled at the shrine of treacherous rulers,
and having been gulled out of their own opin
ions, by the enchanting eloquence of John
I Ross, they hare dispersed without agreeing
to the proposition so liberal upon the part of
: the General Government, and which, should
have been by all means so very desirable to
them. Wc understand that a large propor
tion of those who took part in discussing the
I reasonableness of the proposition, and the
! present and future interests, and welfare of
j the Cherokees as a people, were in favor of
I acceding to the proposition. Among the ud
! vocates for a speedy salr, and removal, were
Ridge, Coody, Davis, Martin. Bondi not, and
I others ; men, whose characters for education,
j good sense, and refinement, would certainly
entitle them to respect, and give them an in
fluence hi this or any other community. Yet
from motives of personal accumulation, self
aggrandizement, the fear of not receiving a
' large portion of (lie profits himself, ami per
i j haps too, the probability of going out of ol
i lice upon their removal; Mr. Ross with his
, ingenuity, took the conclusion in debate, and
I we suppose by his strong appeals to Ins court-
J try men, and high-sounding epithets of abuse
I upon the general government, and particn
j larly upon Georgia; winding up with tho
I usual call to the recollection of she solemn
. j reflection; attending the departure of the
| children, from the “ bones ol their fathers,”
! and then a .using the country West of the
j Mississippi, lie solemnly avowed, if the na
tion did consent to sell, that they would nc-
I ver again be a united people, that they would
j be scattered to the different extremities of the
I glebe, and expressed his own determination
m tiie result of an acquiescence upon the
i part of his people to sell, to go forthwith to
| Texas, where lie could find ail asylum with
i out the jurisdictional lim ts of tho United
States. By such like appeals to the sympa
thies,- arousing ail the old buried prejudices
j that ever ever existed; and stiring up tho
i worst feelings upon the part of his audience
towards the whites; that w hen the vote was
taken upon his icsoluhou, disavowing any
j intention to sell, the motion carried without
j a dissenting voice.
This result proves to ns the influence cf
’ office, and the great disposition upon the part
of the governed, to fold their arms in hum
. ble submission to the will of the Governor,
and “come weal or woe,” tamely, gently and
I quietly, give up rigiits with which nature liss
endowed them ; and which man has not the
right to gain-say. There is now left but one
alternative that we can see, to suit the views,
and meet the intercslsof our red brethren, or
as we consider it, a large majority of them,
j and that must be effected hy opening the roll
for emigration, ami extending to such as wish
it, the means of removal and settle nenl be
yond the Mississippi. . Many we believe are
j not only w illing to go, but are so reduced in
j circumstances, as to render it almost obligato
ry. The dire hand of poverty is crushing
1 them iu many parts of this country, and wo
believe from our knowledge of Indian char
i actor (in a savage state,) that the pinch of
j hunger will soon counteract 1 lie impression
j made by those of selfish motives, with all
their strong appeals to arouse the sympathies,
and engender the prejudice* of the ignorant,
against their interests, and their only all. Wo
believe that by opening the roll immediately,
that many, very many, of the common In
dians may be induced to remove within the
i next six months, and that from the rapid m
: crease of white population to this country,
the remainder will discover the necessity of
, going, or selling their claim to the country,
and buying land and becoming citizens among
: us.
The follow ing- aiiocdoie contains more of hu-‘
monr i ban of truth, but it is perfectly in character.

j Caution.—Lands in Texas. —Wc derm it a
i duty to warn tiie unwary against purchasing
fallacious and spurious scrip or pretended pa
tents for land iu Texas. By the act of the
Mexican government, all speculation, all
transfers, all gambling in lands there arc ut
terly excluded. Grantsare made to actual
scttlcrß and to no other, who, after six years
residence, receive a perfect title, and not
sooner. To men with families a larger tmet
is allowed than to single inen ; hut none can
hold such property without residence and
citizenship.
A gentleman of the highest reapr (liability,
recently arrived from Texas, has related to
us many cases ol' gross fraud arid blind delu
sion.—Sales of imaginary titles had been
made hy sharpers to gentlemen in various
parts of the United States—in Tennessee, in
New York, and elsewhere ; and, credulous
men who fancied themselves worth §160,000,
found, on aniving iu Texas, that the lands
were granted on certain conditions but never
sold. I’lunged into despair, some of those
dupes quitted that fine country in disgust,
because they had been deceived in this!
Every editor mid printer in the United
States ought In denounce to the public such
abominable deception. The hawkers of
such patents might as well sell land in N'ota
ZciiibU or in tin mown. -lent. Coiner.
