FOK GOVERNOR,
IOKL CRAWFORD.
TiAJ. CRAWFORD
We publish to-day an extract of a letter from
i, ( . Crawford, setting forth Iris political tenets.
(,I Jolt with much please re, according as they
( , i ith our own imperfect notions of government,
’hose uho have heretofore withheld from him
ifir support, fearful of his heresy, may rind
. .rdoubts cleared up, & can have no obstacles
i tinir path hereafter. The propositions laid
own by May. Crawford are such as command a
ady assent from those who stood by Troop in
10 hour of Georgia’s peril ; There may be many,
ovrever, whose voices were then the loudest,
ut are now listened for in vain; many who
looJ forth among the boldest champions of State
I/ins, whoso places are now vacant: many
rho gloried that they were considered vigilant
rarders on the watch-tower, whose arms have
hded from their grasp, and whose forms are no
inner seen upon the battlement* ; what myste
ious oramaryc. has wrought this change, we pre
mi! not to divine. To them we have no argu
itnts to oiler, from them we expect no co-opera
oo. The attempt would be idle, perhaps, to
in them back to the paths their feet had forsa
en, but if our judgment of human nature be not
rrotteous, it is from them that wc are to expect
ic fiercest assault. New converts are distinguish
-Iby their fiery and intemperate zeal, and their
ration;; impetuosity has passed into a prov.rb.
'fie approaching conflict may well he looked up
nas promising to be a better one. We fear it
ut, “Truth is mighty and will prevail.”

THE SOI TllliK.A BANNER.
The editors of the Southern Banner have arraiyn
1J is on the charge of uncourteousness, <V intimated
i»t wtiare disposed to sail under the piratical flag
11 denunciation am! contradiction. Wt denounce
'o man's honestly expressed opinions, but wc feel
lumli-ea justified sometimes in ( Ontrioicti.no Ins
iwertions—Most particularly do wc feel so, when
'kelight ol trutli cast its strong glare in our faces,
tviiiniimg too clearly to be mistaken, the errors of
tore Kid, whom we have to contend. There is
'one who reprobate, more strongly than wc do, a
’old and unwarrantable contradiction of an estab-
K'hed truth—but such was not our conduct. Wc
"tt the Banner on dcbatcable ground, and placed
■more them our arguments vindicating, and sustain.
ln Sour position.
Their accusation, however, amounts to no more
hue tills—that it was somewhat tine, unions to dis
■ttec with them in opinion, and express our disa
blement. Upon this subject, however, the editors
the Southern Banner, and the editor of the
s must unfortunately diffi r again, ttoiw ithhtand.

Ve (ire persuaded, however, that the editor of that

Hon.
To our arguments,*’ they say, “ they have

D> °ur applause, for having the candour and the
lorutsty to say so. With many of those who have
b• ayed themselves in opposition to our doctrine ,

ft is, that we expected no objection from the mem
bers of the State Rights party in Georgia. We ex.
pressed the principles which have been the acknow
ledged fundamental ones of the State Rights doc
trines. However much we may differ a3to details
in the great elementary truths of the theory, there
can be no discrepancy of opinion. Tile Banner is
advocating the cause of .-tate Rights, and so are wc.
Shall we captiously find fault with him whose arm
is raised to strike for us ar.d for freedom, because
his weapon is somewhat more old fashioned, and
less adapted for efficient use than our own ? Cer
tainly not.
THE CONVENTION.
The acts of designing politicians, to impose upon
the credulity of the people, and secure for them
selves a personal aggrandizement at the expense of
a general good, cannot be sufficiently reprobated.
We have been, for some time, silent spectators of
the embittered contest now waging in this state, in
relation to the proposed amendments of its constitu
tion. Silent, not because wo were careless of the
event of flic conflict, but lor the reason that wc have
a repugnance to the belief, that our adversaries, (to
speak m tbe mildest terms of (heir conduct) are not
actuated by the uggestions of principle. v\ e had
supposed them prompted to their course, by an ho
nest but mistaken view of the nature of the refor , a.
lion they were uigmg, that they were fully
convinced of the equality of the plan of representa
tion which they were advocating: but we are now
compelled to believe that, the welfare of the peo
ple, however much it enlists their support with the
lip and pen, is ail utter stranger to their hearts. XV e
feel ourselves borne out in this conclusion, from the
fact, that the presses in tiiu state bate been abun
dantly prolific in caieuiatkins, showing the vast ine
quality of the proposed plan of representation, the
unjust and arbitrary distribution of power in botli
branches ot the Legislature, and developing to the
candid reader, the startling anti humiliating circuin
stance, that the congregated wisdom vt the State,
in the late Convention, instead of av:cliurat: ng the
burdens ol which the people complained, have in
reality in reared them, and that too, lor party pur
poses, and to secure for a favored few, a lasting po
litical ascendancy. So far from attempting to refute
these arguments, they advance most steadily on
ward, deling oat contradictions and assertions with
no niggard hand. When these effective and cour
teous weapons of polemical warfare, fail of attain
ing their aim they resort to witticism and ridicule,
as their readiest and most availing substitute
While we are upon this subject, we are induced to
notice the latest specimen of the kind emanating
from the facetious editor of the Georgia Telegraph.
He says, ...but we may as well place the “ jeu d’es.
prit* in its totauty belore our readers j
“ Wo marvel greatly, that the true, real,
bona fide, exclusive Republicans as they call
themselves, (who so abhor Federalism, that
they cannot tolerate the Federal Flag—in
whom a Federal salute excites a nausea—
who execrate the Federal President, despise
the Federal Government, and would destroy
the Federal Constitution.) are so hugely taken
up with tile Federal Basis! The Federal
Basis!! Had it been known by any olir.r
name, appellation, or cognomen, the wonder
ment would have been less; hut for them to
advocate any basis, measure, or principle,
with the adjective Federal prefixed to it, is
incomprehensible. Why, ’tis as unsearcha
ble as the secrets of Anti-Masonry—as incon
ceivable as ihe mysteries of the Koran.”
Doubtless! The intellectual ability ot the Tele
graph may be sadly puzzled by the injudicious use
of epithets. As for instance, (we cite from another
article in the sains paper :) ..
“ It is proper a State should be represented
in Congress according to her influence. And
it is just as proper that the black operatives
of Georgia should be represented as that tbe
white operatives of Massachusetts should be.
The former are not more antler the control of
their masters, and have as much interest in
political matters, ns the latter.”
The ‘white operative’of Massachusetts, (as it
happens) can go to the polls and deposit his own
ticket in the ballot box for the support, not only of
his congressional Representative, but his Reprc.
sentutivc in the Stats Legislature too. And the
“black operative” of Georgia says the editor of
the 'l'et-grupl. 1... -- •»•>>-• K interest ill noUtlCul
matters, as the first mentioned ‘ operative" and
certainly should by a parity of reasoning be entitled
to the same influence in the domestic councils of the
State. Before we dismiss him from our notice we
would inform the editor, that no imposing array of
words can deter us from advocating such measures
as seem to us in the sincerity of our hearts most con.
ducive to the welfare of the State ; and it he should
tell us that the great head and original leader of his
own party w: s a nullifier, we should not be the less
zealous in the support of the doctrine.
But to return fromour digression. The greatob.
jection-t to the ratification of the proposed amend
ment, have been arranged under the following
heads
Ist. ’I he inequality of the Representation.
2d. The increase of burdens, complained of un
dor the former system.
3d. The impolicy ol discarding the.present Basis.
XVe shall resunie|the subject from time to time at
our leisure, and lay our views before our readers
arranged under the heads above mentioned.
STATE RIGHT’S FESTIVAL,
aktf ayuiaasiao
Couipsiuicntary to the Honorable
GEORGE M’DIJFFIE.
The friends of State Bights from different parts
of the State, attending the Commencement at A
thena, having learned that Mr. McDuffie was in
town, resolved to tender to him a public dinner,
as a testimony of their respect for his private and
public virtues, and as approbatory of his brilliant
and successful efforts in support of the conserva
tive doctrines of State Bights. They felt that this
public mark of their respect to a distinguished
statesman, was not only due from these conside
rations, but they also felt a pride in thus greeting
with a cordial welcome, a native sou of Georgia,
who had so nobly achieved a name second to none
in the Bepublic, for devotion to Southern rights
and Southern interests, and no place for the man
ifestation of this respect, could be more appro
priate (to borrow an idea from a distinguished ci
tizen present) than Athens, “ to honor talents
where talents are cultivated.” With these
views, the following letter was addressed to him,
by a coinmitteo appointed for that purpose, and
and responded to in the one which succeeds it:
To the Honorable George .McDuffie.
SIR —The undersigned having been requested
by many of the citizens of this state, now assem
bled at this place, to invite you to a public din
ner, as a testimony of respect to yourself, as a
distinguished native son of Georgia, and for your
able defence of State Bights and Southern inter
est on the floor of Congress—do, in compliance
with said request, respectfully invite you to a pub
lic dinner to be given in this place, at such a
time as will best suit your convenience.
Very respectfully, your vb’t serv’ts,
Ed. Harden.

Mr, McDuffie’* Reply.
Gentlemen —l have just received your kind
note, containing the unexpected ami flattering
invitation of “ many of the citizens of this state,
now assembled at this place” U> partake of a pub
lic dinner, which they propose to give in testimo
ny of their respect * r me, “ as a native son of
Georgia,” and for my exertions in “ defence of
State Rights and Southern interests.”
As I cannot but regard this proceeding on the
part ot my fellow-citizens of Georgia, as a mani*
tertatioK oi their devotion to thosegreal princi
ples of constitutional liberty, which I have hum
bly, but zealously struggled to maintain, and in
which 1 believe, the very existence of the south
ern states, as sovereign communities of freemen,
to be involved, I have been induced to over-rule
the scruples of cautious prudence, and accept of
the proposed honor, even at the hazard of giv
ing rise to misapprehensions and consequent mis
representations .
As I contemplate leaving this place immedi
ately alter the close of the College exercises, 1
will, with your permission, name to-morrow as!
the day on which it will best suit tuy conveni
ence to meet my friends.
1 beg you to tender my sincere acknowledge
ments to those whom you represent, ami to he as
sured ol the very great respect, with which I am, I
A our obedient servant,
GEO: MeDUFFIR. j
On \\ ednesday, the Till inst. about 200 gentle- ■
men set down to a dinner prepared by Mr. Brown, j
Much hilarity and good feeling graced the festive j
board, at which Maj. John Moore, of Lexington,
presided, assisted by Judge Clayton, Judge;
.Strong, and David \\ itt.cr.q. ns Vice Presidents. ’
Alter the cloth was removed, the following re- j
gular toasts, prepared for the occasion, with vo- j
lunteers, were drunk with unbounded applause, j
REGULAR toasts.
3. Tin: Union.—A *' compact between sovereign j
states,” lor specific objects. The surest guarantee
ot its perpetuity, ,s a rigid adherence to the terms
of the charter.
2 Tug Bill op 81000 : The bayonet and the
sword may enforce the decrees of arbitrary power
over slaves, but can never prevail against the free,
born citizens of the South.
3. South-Caboi I.n a : The force bill intended' for
her is 1 kely io operate upon Georgia. She has
magnanimously declared, that whether against her
or Georgia, she is ready to march against its tyran
ny either upon the plains of Charleston or the moun
tains of Cherokee.
4. Georgia: She will never be found recreant in
defence ol those great principles of state rights by
which her sovereignty has been hitherto prest-n eil
the uttacks at federal Usurpation.
5. State Sovereignty : Indivisible and inaliena
ble : The exercise of its prerogatives may be dele
gated but can never be surrendered.
ti. The Hon. GEORGE McDUFFIE our dis
tinguished guest: His unbending integrity his cease
less vigilance over southern interests, his untiring
opposition to unequal laws and unconstitutional mea
sures, and his triumphant vindication of Stale
Rights, entitle him to the respect and gratitude of
the South, and a hc art-wa.-.i welcome to hi* native
state.
After the cheering plaudits with which this
toast was received, had subsided, Mr. McDuffie
rose and addressed the company in ‘thoughts that
breathed and words that burned,’ ami in strains
of fervid eloquence—his topics were state sove
reignty , the unhallowed oppressions of the ma
jority of Congress against the South and the Bill
ol Blood. In the course of his remarks he ad
verted to his being a native of Georgia, in thril
ling and pathetic terms. “ When I remember,
(said he, in something like these words) that in
the hour when South-Carolina contended alone,
for those great principles upon which the liberty
of the south and the existence of the confederacy
depend, when all seemed dark aad desponding
around her, the first cheering voice which she
heard, was from this state, and perhaps from the
very gentlemen who are now present. It is with
overwhelming feelings of pride and joy that I
exclaim “ this is my own, my native land.”
But adequate justice cannot lie done to his re
marks in this brief notice. At the earnest r -
quest of the committee, Mr. M’Dufiie has consent
ed to furnish a copy of them for publication. In
conclusion, Mr. Mel), gave the following senti
ment, viz:
Georgia and Cauolina—united in interest,
may tufty no 1i.0.,...... deajjuY.
IFliom God hath joined together, let not man prert
a,under.
7- State Rights and State Remedies : The
genuine doctrines of ’9B, the doctrines of the Re
publicans and the doctrines of liberty- They tri
umphed then and will triumph now.
8. State Interposition . If a single state with a
divided population, unaided by her southern sis
ters, and with the North and West in opposition,
could compel the advocates of protection to aban
don their purpose, what would not the dectrine
accomplish, if sustained front the Potomac to the
Mississippi.
9. The memory of Thomas Jefferson ; Tite A
postlo of Liberty', the fearless asserter of tbe doc
trine of Nullification.
10. George Washington ■■ A name hallowed by
every honest American ; but lately used for the
worst of purposes.
11. The memory of Randolph and Turnbull :
In their lamented deaths. State Rights received a
severe blow, but there is an inspiration in the
contemplation of departed worth, that often sup
plies the place of living action. We have lost
their exertions, but we retain their example.
12. Virginia.- The best beloved and honored
of the southern sisterhood, who proud as they ever
have been to emulate her noble virtues, still fond
ly and anxiously look to her in the present hour
of comntcn peril for an example worthy of her
former history and glory.
13. Tne Southern Stales —indissolubly united
by a common interest, and destined to a common
fate. Whatever assails the safety, honor or wel
fare of either, should be at once, promptly and
eagerly resisted by all.

'Wfe t lEN we consider that Fortune

in all parts, and evt ry corner of this extensive
country, through the in ii tin of the LOTTERY
SYSTEM ; that scarcely a week or a day
wheels by us without bringing the Intelligence,
that someone of our friends or fellow-citizens
has drawn a prize; and that it only requires an
investment of the trivial sum of ten dollars to
give us a good chance for a Prize of 20,000;
Surely it is unneveesaty to urge upon this liberal
and enlightened people, the policy of stepping iu
the way to wealth and the favor of the propitious
Damp.
