‘•Our ambition is, to Kve equal laws.** WISDOM. JI STIPE, MODERATION. <Bia©sß®aii aaaiaaj AND STATE KIGHT’S ADVOCATE. MILLEDGEVILLE, JUNE 12, 1833. W'c arc authorised to aunouuce JOEE CRAWFORD, of Hancock, a candidate for Governor, at the cu icin; election. ( ‘ Macon, relative to the solvency of the Banks, in our next. Tr The Warrenton (N. C.) Reporter is informed that “Javelin,” “ To the author ofDennot McMor rogh,” which appears as an original communication in the Reporter of the 6th inst. is not original in that print nor was it written as it purports to be, “ For the Reporter.” Javelin first appeared in, and was written “ For the Georgia Times and State Right’s Advocate.” There is no great importance in the correction, yet it is right that it should be done. But “ For the Reporter,” we should have taken no notice of it. Printers should have “ credit” for what appears original in their papsrs. JLJ - The policy of striking while the iron is hot, was inculcated upon our minds in the days of our boy. hood ; the experience of our riper years has taught us that it must yield in efficacy to the policy of him who makes the Iron hot by striking. The history of the Clark party for the last few years, sufficiently attests the truth of the lesson. W herever a hand ful of these indefatigable partisans could lie found, no matter how formidable the crowd of opponents might be, no matter how hopeless their prospects how improbable their success, they invariably set up a candidate of their own, around whom they ral. lied with a chivalry that smacked of the olden time, with an energy w orthy of a better cause. Continu ed successses having rendered the Troup party careless of the power they had struggled for and won, our insidious adversaries gathered their clans, marshalled their forces perceiving that dissensions among ourselves had broacn the hitherto uni ed ranks of those who had triumphed once and again, made one bold and successful push for the Exccu. tive chair. Now one more stride, and the political ladder is mounted to its topmost round—one more step and the whole political power ot the State ia in their hands. One effort more, and if the Clark par ty succeed, the Troup party is forever routed, “horse foot and dragoons.” Swept away forever like the sere and yellow leaves before the mountain storm. One more scene is to be enacted, and if successfully, the curtain of the political drama falls forever upon the prospects of those who have sus tained the state in the hour of its darkest peril. If the proceedings of the late Convention (we say late because we think it politically deceased) are ratified by a deluded people, “Good night to Marmion.” We have endeavored to show the cratty dexteri ty, exhibited in the arrangement of the senatorial districts, and the subtle ingenuity displayed in the adoption of the “White Basis” as the ratio of repre sentation. We hinted at the incapacity of those, who sought to f inflict this suicidal blow upon the state, to manage its concerns: and we placed the matter upon that footing from a spirit of leniency, because wo did not wish to et'gmatise with the charge of corruption, those who have been so clamorously eager to be considered the leaders of that party. Wo did all this because we believed, that the wise ones who planned this notable scheme of equal re presentation, were engaged in a contest for power alone, and like the facetious editor of the New-York Enquirer, considered “ail fair in polities.” But «: perceive we were mistaken. They have adopted these plans, presuming upon tho ignorance of those with whom they have to contend, or upon their stu pidity and dullness. We are at a loss which to be lieve. The editor of the “ official" has lately broach ed anew theory, discovered an entirely new “ foa. ture,” to use a famous ministerial metaphor “ on which the question hinges,” to-wit, that “ every man who owns five negroes, has as much influence in the Legislature as four of his poorer neighbors, who own no negroes—for he is entitled to his «wn vote, besides the influen e of three more votes for his five negroes." |l won't do, sir—try another hobby. We are somewhat curious to know from what e" dition of “Cocker” the editor extracted his arith metical lore. Ilia logic is indisputably his own ! We are not to be surprised at any proposition, how ever absurd, that may emanate from that acute and consistent press. We know that its proprietor maintains the Sovereignty of the National Legisla ture in its broadest sense, that Congress has the right to sell • state! One of its editors has asserted that the opposition of a State to unconstitutional taxation is like the opposition of a County in a State to the laws of its Legislature—thereby placing the sovereign and independent States of this Union on the footing of counties !! The other editor has as wiseiy declared, that in the election of members to Congress, state lines might be disregarded, and if a Congress,onal district should embrac e a part ofGeor gia and North-Carolina, it would be no matter!!! With such a combination of extraordinary judgment and political infallibility, we are not in the Last sur. prised that they should oonsider stumps, trees and swamps, entitled to an equal representation with the citizens of Georgia. Cj* Among the extraordinary impositions upon hu man credulity, the attempt to palm off up on the people of Georgia, the idea, that the a mendment to the constitution, proposed by the late Convention, equalizes the representation, stands pre-eminent. Though the people of Eng land once thronged to 6eea conjuror thrusthimself into a quart bottle, we doubt if in this enlighten ed era they could be humbugged with such a pre pcstergus notion of equality as tho majority seek to cram nolens wlcns down our throat*. Weal- most feel that we are doing violence to the com mon sense and intelligence of our readers to of fer them argument upon so manifest a point: but as we, in common with the citizens of Georgia, are about to seal with the fiat of condemnation, the proceedings cf those who have cloaked them selves with the power of the people to do this crying injustice, a just respect for the opinions of the world prompts us to place before them the da ta upon which our judgment is based. We have scrutinized this subject on every side—we have sought in vain for one redeeming feature in this mis-shapen mass of error, and we are constrained to acquiesce in thejustice of the sentence that con signs it foreverto the ‘tombsof the Capulets.’ The principles of the President’s message were pro nounced by a rival Statesman to be “ of the things that perish in using.” But the principles of this notable scheme of reduction are even more frail in their nature. Like the bubbles of the school-boy they burst and vanish at the slightest touch. When we ventured to assert that the equality of repru-! sentation by the proposed plan was not apparent “ on the face of the record,” we anticipated same difficulty in rendering the proposition understood;; but upon investigation the difficulties have vanish- I ed—th 6 progress of our task reminded us of the I perils that beset the path of the venturous Trier main, formidable in appearance, but nothing when encountered. The tables below place the matter in a light to be comprehended by the most ordi nary capacity.

RFiPIBUCAHS.iI. It is a comm in saying among the divines (says the Virginia Times) that while man is in spiritu al bondage he cannot see the danger to which he is exposed. It is only after his conversion that he perceives clearly the perils by which he has been surrounded. The truth loses none of its force when applied to temporal concerns. The country was not aware of the extent and danger ous influence of Federalism until the small but gallant commonwealth of South-Carolina called into action the conservative principles of State Rights—and thus compelled the monster to un veil its hideous feature—as it did in the detesta ble Proclamation. We now cau more clearly see the precipice to whose verge we have been preci pitated,—and more justly estimate the prevalence and evil tendencies and effects of the silent and sapping doctrines of Federalism. The high handed pretensions of the Proclamation have startled the country, and roused its dormant ener gies into action. Men, instead of yielding im plicitly to the opinions of others have begun to think for themselves. But for the timely interfe rence of South-Carolina, we verily believe, the I country would silently have passed under the | yoke. These opinions are, in part sustained by the fact, that six months ago, the People were actu ally alarmed at the annunciation of the doctrines of’9B. They had been so long discarded by cur rulers, that the mere assertion of them, in tho words of Jefferson himself, filled the country with consternation. “ They will endanger Ike Vn | ton” was the almost universal cry—and design | irig and ambitious men, taking advantages of the I honest alarm of the people, pressed forward to give, amidst the fear and confusion which prevail ed. the final blow at the principles of Republi canism. The fears of the people were adroitly practiced upon, and the hired presses of tho Go vernment thundered their alarm-cry of “ Disun ion”—Treason" &c. &c. But the scheme failed. The proclamation which was intended to sound the death-kndl of State Rights, instead of affect ingtts object, under the guise of patriotic and ** paternal” words, served but to open the eyes of the people to their true condition. Many of the more timid and “judicious”presses, (and among! the number, the Richmond Enquirer.) which were prepared to go the whole length of the Proclamation, end to bury State Rights under i’ I shadow, took the alarm at the change in public' | sentiment, and prudently fell back upon a more tenable position, and resumed their stations in ambush—while others of more sanguine and reckless temperament, pressed onward, neck or nothing. These last, however, finding them selves deserted by their more cautious accompti ' ces,—and having advanced too fir to make a re treat, —have stopped in their career, and hoisting their banner, arecalling to tlieirtardy followers to advance—and trying every means to rouse their courage and bring them up to the sticking joint. jln vain. He who has not crossed the ditch, will j not put his foot in it now—and those who have, i will either be compelled to turn their backs and j take to an ignoble flight, or male the desperate 1 and hopeless assault by themselves. ! It is laughable to read the indignant and de | spairing appeals of those who have crossed the , ditch to those wno stand on the outer side ready to | fly and leave them to their fate. The Waghing ' ton Globe contains an article from tie Baltimore | Gazette, which really excites our sympathy.— ! The writer in commenting on the “contest of ! opinion now going on iu the States of the South.” I condemns the apparent apathy and reluctance of | the .fali/ii nisi ration presses in the South to ester boldly and rigorously into the controversy. He isays:— ■ “It strikes us that this timidity is hig'y injurious | to the interest of the nation at large, without being i ot any corresponding benefit to themselves as a par j ty. It is entirely at variance with the bold and de i cisive line of policy which has hitherto proved so i advantageous not only to the administration, but to | the whole public career of the present executive, ; and which has repeatedly rescued them with tri umph from the most critical situatioag. It is ac knowledged on all sides, that the President himself would be the last to shrink from any stand which he ( had found it necessary to take ; and ue certainly ! has mare reason now than ever to confide in the ! weight ol his personal influence and popularity.— It is at this moment if not greater in extent lhan that of any previous executive since General Wash ington, at least of a more invimjble and efficient character. .Mr. Jefferson hiniselfwas far from pos sessing such a firm hold on the xttachmcnt of the mass ot the people—and it the ultra advocates of state Rights are correct in ascribing their pernicious doctrines to Mr. Jefferson, “ the hour is come, and the man,” for putting then down, in spite of all the authority which they borrow from his name. Gen. Jackson is certainly able to measure his reputation I and public services with those of Mr. Jefferson— j and that he is willing to do so, if the good of the j country should,require it, we have a right to infer from his proclamation.’’ VV hat an appeal 1 Will it not stir the courage of friend Ritchie and the “administration’ pres ses in the South,” and induce them to rush for ward anti “enter boldly and vigorously!” To < the breach To the breach Friend Ritchie! In vain ! In vain ! They may raise the battle-cry of • Jaeksonbm, until the welkin rings—but friend Ritchie is a cool, wary old soldier. He is not going to bring his carcass into further peril. He scents the danger from afar. He has j already advanced too rapidly, and has got him self and his forces in most admirable confusion. ; He’ll not budge a foot further--and as soon as’ he can get a fair opportunity, he will beat a re- i treat, and buckle back, as if the and 1 were af ter him. But “ the HOUR is come." is it,—“and the MAN,” to put down the doctrines of Mr. Jeffer ferson, in spite of all the authority which they bor row from his name !/” Hear ye that, People of Virginia ? “GEN. JACKSON is certainty able to measure his reputation and public servicei with those of MR. JEFFERSON—and that he is wil ting to do to, we have a right to infer front his PROCLAMATION !!” Is it necessary to offer a single comment on these passages copied into the official organ ? Does not every rr an see that the object of the PROCLAMATION was to put down the RE PUBLICAN PARTY 1 That Jackson is “wit ling" to “measure his reputation” with that of Mr. Jefferson—find that his proclamation doctrines ; are to take the place of the Jeffersotian doctrines ot ’9B? This is w hat we said from the first, and no man of common understanding can doubt it. And w hat is the part, we would ask, is the li:ch i n.vildEnquirer playing in this nefarious scheme? ' What apology has it to offer to the public, for ! such gross dereliction of principle and duty ! Can ! it answer? Is it not in correspondence with these men, and insidiously labouring to promote their | objects? Will its Editor tell the public what | part is allotted to him to play, in this treacherous j attempt to overthrow the doctrines of the Repub j lican Party? | This stirrihg appeal—this raly-cry of the ; Globe and the Gazette, intended to give courage ! to “ administration presses in the Scuth"— and to j incite them to “to enter boldly and rigorously into j the controversy," lias not been w ithout its effects. Many of the collar presses to the South seem to I have revived by the eloquence of the Gazette, j and are assuming a bolder tone. The Tennesse i papers especially appear much comforted inspirit. ! The Nashville Republican, the Knoxville Regis l ter, the Columbus Mercury, the Franklin Review. Ac. &c. seem marvellously inspirited by the appeal. The last named paper, in commenting , upon this very extract from the Globe, uses the ; following language : ! “We rally agree with the author of these remarks, !itis no time now for vacillation or wavering. Let i every man set his face, like a rock, against the des. ; tructive doctrines now- attempted to be made the prevailing political faith of the southern states. It J is principles and names that have now to be tested, j anil trial hour has come. The President of the U ! nited States has manfully arrayed himself against the authors of the Virginia and Kentucky resolu. j tions : and has placed the doctrines of the proclama. j tiou, which are those of the constitution, in opposi j lion to the resolutions oi ’9B. The issue is before the 1 people, and according to their decision, so will be i the destiny • f our beloved country, for evil or for good. If they sustain the administration, in its en. I ergetic course, ali will yet be w ell and strength and I exaltation amsug all nations, and prosperity and ! peace within o .rsclves will follow as the glorious , ! consequences. But if they prefer rather to uphold the political fortunes of ambitious and designing j leaders who are proclaiming anew faith, otherj than that taught by the constitution of our common j country, the fate of our constitution and our coun. ! try is fixed. The republic will then be trodden j down in dust and darkness to the grave of buried 1 nations and forgotten commonwealths—its mighty strength broken and destroyed forever, and the tight! oflts glory quenched in the overshadowing gloom; of the nation's sepulchre. Our magnificent super.! ; structure of constitutional liberty must then fill ,and i ; great will be the fall thereof. The whole earth will j rock to the thunder of its overthrow, and the rights i and liberties of all the world will be forever andir- i , retrievably buried in the terriflir ruins. Be faithful.” , , Here is the battle-cry of the conflict which is ; : just begun! “A. Jackson against the authors of ; the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions”—and j | “the doctrines of the Proclamation in opposition i j to the Resolutions of’98!” ' We knew it would j come to this issue at last. Deception cannot be ' i practiced but for a time. The mask is now thrown ! aside, and all may see, what we have neve, doubt ed, that A. Jackson and his men have determined to put down the doctrines of the Republican Party i at all hazards. A systematic war is to be waged i against them, in order to build up the Federal j Party and to place Mr. Van Buren on the Throne. Jtepubticans, jo your post.' This contest is des tined to he the sternest that has ever been fought, t and will require that every man shall do his duty. The forces of Federalism are fast gather-' mg to a head in every State. Jackson and Van • Buren arc gomg thro* the middle aud Eastern ! States to superintend their organization in that quarter —Van Buren and It ebster are then to visit the Western States to see that all i3 ready in that direction—Woodbury hasjust returned from re connoitering the Southwest and South—Barry and Kendall have Kentucky in training, and every ex ertion is being made on their part to prepare for the conflict. Why sleeps the Republicans of Virginia and the South? It is time to be “up and doing." There is treachery in the Camp.— Those who dare not appear*against us, are cry ing out “Peace’. Peace’." and seeTdng to lull the People into false and fatal security. There is treachery ■on foot. We call upon the Richmond Enquirer to say what part it is to take in this contest. This is indeed “no time for vacillation and waver ii.'g ” —the “ issue “ is made up, and xva have a right to know what course the official organ in Virginia means to pursue. If it hesitates, the People will know where they may expect to find it. At all events, we solemnly warn the Repub- I licans to look around them, and to prepare for the contest.

In order to correct various misrepresenta tions, circulated through the press and other channels, I have to request newspaper Edi , tors, friendly to the great interest of the j country, and especially that of Georgia, to publish the following correspondence. WILSON LUMPKIN. (copy.) Executive Department, Ga. Milleilgevillo, April 26, 1833. Hon. Lewis Cass, Secretary of I Fur. Sir—A few days ago, I addressed a letter to the President of the United States, on the subject of our Indian relations, which I re quested, might be submitted to you. In connection with the same subject, I here with enclose you a copy (of the copy) of a letter, received by me a few days ago from a respectable gentleman, who resides in the neighborhood of John Ross. That gentle man, with various others, inform me, that Ross is exhibiting this indiscrete letter, and im pressing the ignorant Indians and Indian coun tryinun, with the belief, that ho is authorised to say, from the authority of the War Depart ment, that in a short time, all the Georgia set tlers, who have settled under the authority of the laws of Georgia, will be,driven from their homes by tho United States Artnv. There may be some exaggeration in these state ments ; but I am forced to the conclusion, from what I have heard, and from the reading of this imprudent letter, that great efforts are making in that country to mislead, and delude the unfortunate Cherokees. I do not hesitate in my reply, to such com municalio’is, to assure the people of that country, that no change has taken place in the views of the Federal Executive, and that the Indians so long as they choose to remain in Georgia, must yield implicit obedience to the supremacy of the laws of the State. And that no power of the Federal Government, will ever he exerted to remove the inhabitants, who have settled under the authority of the State, &e. I am engaged in using all the I means in ray power, to counteract the mis chievous influence, of tho enemies of good or der in this half settled country. But I consider it highly important, that you should with all possible dispatch, make such a communication to the Cherokees, as shall put an end to all false stories of the character pointed out. Such a communication should i be publicly and authentically made to the whole people, who may assemble at their council on the 14th of next month. It is I submitted to your consideration, whether a communication from you or the President of the United States himself, might not be made through me to the Cherokees most effectually. At any rate, please to let me hear from you immediately on this subject, for I deem it in dispensable, at their approachingcouncil; by some means, to remove the idle delusion into which these people are led, by the exertions of bad men. if the copy of the letter which 1 enclose you, be not a forgery, it deserves strong reprehension. Such productions, from such a quarter, are most mischievous. With great respect, Your obedient servant, WILSON LUMPKIN. j (copy.) Department of War, Office of Indian Affairs, March 14, 1833. Sir—Your letter of the Silt inst. addressed to the Secretary of War on the subject of in trusion on Cherokee land by white citizens, has been referred to this office for reply. It cannot be denied, that your complaints are well founded, and that your people have sustained injuries-from the rapacity and law less conduct of our citizens. It is however in some degree an unavoidable evil incident to the present condition of your tribe, and no blame is fairly attributable to the Department on that account, it is due to the Secretary of,War, to say that as soon as he received no t’ceof intruders having presented themselves on your land, he gave orders for their expul sion. These orders will now he .repeated, and a military force will forthwith lie sent to the assailed parts of your country, for the pur pose of expelling and keeping off intruders. And orders w ill also - be given to thp' District Attorney of the United States to prosecute for trespass, all such as may dare to lettirn after their expulsion. You cannot consider it a misplaced assuranced and it is made with the utmost sincerity, that the Department cher i. lies deep solicitude lor the welfare of your Nation, and will to the extent of its powers. | endeavour to promote it. With high respect, Y’out humble servant, ELBERT HERRING. j Messrs. John Ross and others, Cherokee ; Delegates. Department of War, May 2, 1833. Sir—l had the honor to receive your letter of the 20th ult. together with the copy of one from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, da ted March 14th, and addressed to some of the principal men among the Cherokees. Before the receipt of your letter, applica tion had been made by some of the Cherokees, to know whether any change had taken place ! i:i the opinions of the President, respecting the constitutional right of the Executive to remove persons from land, claimed by the In dians, where tiie laws of the State had been extended over such land. ‘They stated, that they made the inquiry, because sonic of their people had taken up such an impression, i founded on the above letter of the Commis- Isioner. Immediate measures were taken to j correct this misapprehension, and explanatory j letters, copies of which, 1 have the honor to , enclose, were written, and despatched to Col. J Montgomery, the Cherokee Agent, Major Curry, the special Agent, for emigration, and to tiie Cherokee persons, who sought the in formation. These letters will undoubtedly remove any errors, which may have prevailed, and will show that the opinions of the Presi dent, are unchanged. Very respectfully, 1 have the honor to be, your obedient servant. LEWIS CASS. His Excellency Wilson Lumpkin, Milledge ville, Ga. (copy.) Department of V as, Office Indian Affairs, May 1, 1833. Sir— ln consequence of an application from several of the Cherokees, 1 have been instructed by the Secretary of War, to call your attention to my letter so you of March 15th. 1833, and to say to you that the provi sions of that letter relate solely to those por tions of the Cherokee country, within the States of Tennessee and North Carolina, arid over which the laws of those States have not been extended.—The views of the President upon this subject have been too often and toe publicly expressed, to leave any doubt of the course which, in his opinion, should he pur sued. And this explanation would have been considered unnecessary, had not some of the Cherokees, intimated different views. The President yet thinks, as, he hasalvvays thought, the Executive lias no constitutional right to apply military force to remove persons from any part of the States of Georgia or Alabama. I am sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant. ELBERT HERRING. Col. 11. Montgomery. (copy.) Department of War, j Office of Indian Affairs, May 1, 1533. i Sir—Enclosed l transmit you copies of two ] letters of this date, one addressed to tliej Agent Col. Montgomery, and the other to se veral of the Cherokees You will see by , these letters, that some misapprehension has existed, or has been affected, respecting the J purport of an order sent by this office to Col. J Montgomery on the 15th of March last for j the removal of intruders from the Cherokee country. That order is intended to operate only upon the Cherokee lands within the j States of North Carolina and Tennessee, over which the State laws have not been extended. The views of the Executive on this subject, have been so well known, that it w as not sup posed that any mistake could arise. If how ever any has arisen it w ill be cleared up by these instructions.—l atn directed to commu nicate these facts to you, that you may be j aware of the precise views of the President, and that you may correct any erroneous im pressions which may have been made and which may have a tendency to prevent a fa vorable decision by the Cherokee council, which is about to convene. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant. ELBERT HERRING- Bcrj. F. Curry, Esq. Department of War, Office Indian Affairs, May 1, 1833. Gentlemen —l have been directed by the Secretary of War to acknowledge the teceipt of your 1< tter to him of April sth, and to in form you that no change whatever has taken place in the opinions of the President so often expressed to your people, and so clearly sta ted in the letters to which you allude from the War Department of Feb. 2d and 20th, 1833, as well as in previous communications res'- peeling the constitutional right of the Execu tive to apply military force, to the removal of persons from any part of the Indian country over w hich the laws of the proper States have been extended. My letters to Mr. Ross and others of the 14th March, and to Col. Montgo mery of the 15th March, were intended so re late solely to that part of the Cherokee coun try lying within the States of N. Carolina and Tennessee, and over which these States have not extended their jurisdiction. The whole views of the Executive, were so well known to your people, that it was not supposed that any misapprehension on this Subject, could have existed. And lam directed to state to you clearly, that the opinions of the Presi dent, heretofore expressed, are unchanged, and that no interference with the laws of the respective States on thisstibject, must be ex pected. These views have been communica ted to Col. Montgomery, though they cannot he necessarv for bisection in the matter. And I am instructed further to expicss to you the opinion of the President, that the immediate removal of your people, in conformity with j the very liberal terms held out to them, of-j fers the only prospect of their permanent and piospcruns establishment. Very respectfully, I am, gentlemen, Y’our obedient servant, ELBERT HERRING. John Ritlgr, Esq. and others, Head ofCoesa. Lu napkin County Tow. tor Sale. * W' LL .
