That the citizen u-.ves a paramount alle
.lance to his own State:, is ably, plainly, and
feelingly demonstrated, in the following arti
c|c from the Winchester Virginian :
« The duties of every man arise from his
relations. Every citizen of Virginia holds to
the State a certain relation ; and from that re
iation his duties arise, lie receives protec
tion from her law's—he must consequently
c hev them. The idea that acitizen of Vir
ginia may remain within her jurisdiction,
and nullify her laws, by attempting to judge
lor hi itself whether he lias not a paramount
allegiance, is precisely the South Carolina
doctrine, and fraught, with error. If sucli
citizen conceive the,laws to infringe his su
p rior obligations to some other sovereignty,
he must Draytonize himself and go where the
laws please him better. It would seem thus
to result, that a citizen would be compelled
to bear arms, oven against the forces of the
mineral government, if required by the laws
of the State to do so. Suppose him to he
taken prisoner in such an act; is he a traitoi
—shall he be hung! For what— for obeying
the laws of hit State / Can he do otherwise
—w ill lie not be hung if he do not obey ?
Sli ill he, in either event, be hung ! if the
tiieory bo true that a Wtate, in her sovereign
capacity cannot dissolve the political obliga
tions of her own citizens to the Union, then
it necessarily follows that the citizen, liitn
salf, must judge of his relative obligations:
and most, in his own proper person, nullify
the laws of one or two sovereignties,* when
ever lie thinks his obligations to both are dis
cordant. But he who is most vociferous a
j.mist nullification, becomes thus—reduces
himself to a support of this very doctrine.—
He says the sovereign State, of which 1 am u
citizen, shall not nullify, but I will myself
da this very act; she shall not judge of the
acts of the general government, but 1 will
judge of her acts, and I will obey or disobey
as u»y judgment teaches me that she is right
or wrong. How small a portion of the popu
lation, of any Slate in the Union, have the
capacity and ability to do this—supposing
they had the right. IJow, of necessity, there
fore, docs it result, that the citizens of a State
must obey its Jaws —that they cannot commit
treason in so doing—and if they do not com
mit treason, the State must hare power of
dissolving the political obligations of her own
citizens to any power, inconsistent with the
obligations to herself.
“it is not perceived that there is any tiling
sophistical or delusive in this course of argu
ment. Is there not much to support this
view in the analogy of tilings ? It seems to
be one of the laws of Providence, that the
highest obligations are always associated with
the purest endearments. The duty of a child
to its parent, as it is the highest, so it is the
most endearing of all relations. The rela
tion of a citizen of Virginia to his State, is
of the nearestand most endearing character ;
for her bosom ho receives his sustenance ; his
home is on her mountains or her vallies ; his
wife or children he will leave to her protec
tion; and beneath her green turf are inurned
those sacred feelings, which his spirit could
not sustain in the hour of his bereavement.—
Is it not fair argument, from analogy, to infer
the highest obligations, there, where arc the
deepest sympathies!”
tor. litnnpkiii and ‘"lsis l*j‘issciples.”
A correspondent of the New York Journal
of Commerce, writes thus from Washington
City:—
“Tile political relations lie (Gov. Lumpkin)
Ikis so long maintained in the State, had iden
tified him with Mr. Calhoun ;and in 1830, lie
furnished -Mr. Calhoun with the first expos
ure cf the «7ie«ic by which herrSH trertr,
was intend* i\,sacrifccd for the bt nest of .Mr.
Van Bun n."
This is quite in character with the mis
chievous and ambidextrous policy of the
“Superintcndant of flic Mighty Workshop;’’
and that lie is determined to pursue it “to the
death,” is evident from his late declaration,
that ho is an advocate for Ratification : or, in
other words, that he will in his capacity of
GorcinOr of Georgia, confer Executive ap
pointor nts upon such men as are opposed to
fhc Planters enjoying the benefits which
their slaves conler upon them, rather than tip
on those w ho support the Planters, and do not
wish to see their rights sold, or their property
undervalued. Plant! rs of Richmond County
—Planters of Georgia! will you commit
suicide on your privileges, by voting for such
a man.
That Gov. Lumpkin is actuated bv the
most selfish ambition in advocating Ratifica
tion, is evident from tile direct and triumph
ant lone in which it is announced by ihe Fed
eral Union—fur it is known that he has de
nounced the scheme of the convention as
“grossly unequal and unjust.” And what is
the Federal Union 7 Why, it is a paper print
ed in Millcdgcville, at the Seat of Govern
ment—a paper which has advocated the right
of the General Government to SELL A
STATE as a territory—and not only its
negroes, but its WHITE MEN ANI)
AND WHITE WOMEN, and ALL! —
> lie Federal Union is the only paper in the
•State, hat ing anything liko influence or a
•tenoral circulation, that supports Governor
Lumpkin. His Excellency is well aware of
this fact—and aware of it, lie knows, if he
does not obey the dictation of its “ State sell
ing” principles, he would lie prostrated at a
blow. Again we repeat, Planters ol Rich
twadCouJity—Planters of Georgia! arc you
prepared to give up your political rights, and
and the value of your property, by voting for
such a mats as Wilson Lum]..kin, or any ot his
supporters.— Aug. Chronicle.

IROM TIIF. GEORGIA MESSEXCKR.
File silence of the Federal Union, in re
lation to the direct questions propounded in
our last number, and the absence of all rea
so" for that silence, we maintain is equiva
lent to a distinct admission of the truth of the
following statements:
Ist. That Gov. Lumpkin in conversation
with one of the Judges of the Superior Court,
denounced the measures of the late Coven
lion, as grossly unequal and unjust.
3d. That Gov. Lumpkin, since the com
mencement ot the controversy between S.
Carolina and the General Government bv let
ter to Mr. Calhoun,or thru’ another channel,
has induced that gentleman to believe that he
was for South Carolina in feeling and in
principle.
3d. i hat Gov. Lumpkin, since the rupture
of personal and polit.cal friendship between
Mr. Calhoun and Gen. Jackson, has professed
unabated confidence,and esteem for the farmer,
and that until an intimacy grew up between
him and .Mr. Forsyth, he did warmly espouse
the cause of Mr. Calhoun, against the com
bined oppositiou of Jackson, Van Buren,
Win. 11. Crawford and John Forsyth.
4th. That Gov. Lumpkin, or other distin
guished individuals of the Clark l nionparty,
have written letters to Mr. Calhoun, assuring
him of the continued attachment of that party",
and begging him to keep quiet, as there was
no doubt the whole party would rally in his
support, when the present excitement (which
it was stated would only be momentary,)
should pass away ; and that similar letters lias
been addressed to Gen. Duff Greene, editor
of the l . S. Telegraph.—And
sth. That Dr. T. Fort does approve of
all that is written editorially for the Federal
Inion against Mr. Calhoun, notwithstanding
his professions of unabated respect for that
gentleman.

Proposed Efargaiu ! !
From theFiderul In on, of the 13 th tilt.
“ At this time, we deprecate h controversy
with the Troup Party. They are not now our
opponents: our standard is taised against nulli
fication. Regardless of former distinctions, we
are anxious to unite, on equal terms, with all the
friends of the Union. From this co-operation the
old friends of Governor Lumpkin should desire
to derive no partial or exclusive advantages : we
know that they are ready to pursue a liberal
course, rendering honor to talented friends of the
Union, wherever they may be found.”
Is the Federal Union induced to believe, be
cause of the apparent success of the tampering
with Wayne and Forsy th, that they can buy over
the whole Republican party in the State, to their
side!... .The import of the extract we have placed
above is this; Troup men, we (the dark men)
are losing ground—and vve shall he turned ou t
of oliice. Well, there are some of von who are
as inveterately opposed to the Nullifiers, as we
arc... Now help us to keep our places and put
them down and we will reward your labor!!
The time lias been, when the very party who
promulgates through its organ the above very
sensible proposition to the Troup men—was the
foremost in its denunciation of Bargain and Cor
ruption Eure patriots that they were, their in
te<rrity was incorruptible ! But alas! the pros
pect of defeat will inevitably give their eyes
something ts a squint to their own interest. But
in sober seriousness, is there a citizen of Geor'
gia who can read that article, and not feel his bo"
som swell with honest indignation, at the pre.
sumption of those who penned it? Troup or
Clark — Union Democratic, or not, we care not
what may be his politics, we ask does he not
feel himself as a Georgian insulted by this pro
position of the Federal Union 7 What! Are the
honest members of the dark party willing to
purchase power, at the expense of integrity *....
They profess to differ with us on principle (and
an honest difference of opinion we respect;) But
the Federal Union tells them, we care not, (and
; vve are your leaders) we care not for principle,
our object is to get and retain power and office —
with all their emoluments ; and vvliat matters it,
JiOW we accomplish our end! Will the Clark
party, (many of them we know to be too just)
pass over in silence this proposition (so insulting
to them) of a paper, aspiring to be their official
organ and leader. Insolent as the proposition
is, and therefore unacceptable to, and disregard
ed hy the dark party, how grossly degrading is
it, to the Troup men of Georgia. W hat reason
have those who suggested the idea of bargaining
with the Troup men to keep Gov. Lumpkin in
power, to believe the Republicans ot Georgia, are
so dishonest and so corrupt as to enter into any
such agreement. \\ e would put it home to every
Troup man in the Stale, what are your feelings,
when you are asked to leave your own party, de
sert the ranks of your friends, enrol yourself un
der the banner of your enemies, and you will
he paid out. of the public treasury. If the indig
nation of an honest patriot did not fall heavy on
the head ot him « he « ou!d dare to make the pro-
position, we are grievously mistaken. Nay sup
pose farther, the proposition was made to Troup
himself! Is there a man who thinks so meanly of
Georgia s sternest, and most uncompr. mising
patriot, as to believe that he would even listen to
it, in silence ? Regulate your answer then Troup
men, to this bargaining alliance, by what His
would be. So much for the morality, purity, and
patriotism of the proposition. Now fur its policy.
W e strongly suspect that the Federal Union is
i» possession of some more accurate information
than ourselves as to Lumpkin’s success. They
must certainly he well-informed of the fact, that
the voice of the people of Georgia will consign
to a merited oblivion both Lumpkin and his hope
ful ally Ratification. Ifthey are positively cer
tain that “ Lumpkin will succeed over Major
Crawford, by a majority much larger than that by
which lie triumphed over Gov. Gilmer,” as they
say in the same page which contains their politic
proposition; if they are certain of this,why the ne
cessity ofbeating up for recruitsin this proclama
tion tashion? Ifthey are certain of such a ma
jority, why do they want more votes ?
The scheme is easily seen through. The Troup
men are not to be gulled with their eyes open. —
The cause of Lumpkin and Ratification is travel
ling rapidly down hill, and therefore his patriotic
supporters are kneeling at the feet of the opposite
party, to beg our forbearance. When Major
Crawford is elected and the honor and dignity of
the State retrieved, wlier. the tarnish on her fair
fame is wiped away, by the political expiation of
those who were instrumental in bringing the
disgrace upon her, then it w ill be time to ask for
inerey.
The Federal Union intimates that the present
contest for Governor is “no more than a real
battle between the sacred principles of Union,
and the antagonist principles of Disunion.” The
less the Federal Union, the Ilatifiers, and Gov
ernor Lumpkin say about Disunion, the better for
them. >ve have seen the efforts of the /disunion
party in Georgia to blind the people, and carry
on their iniquitous designs under the specious
cover of veneration for the Union. We have
smiled at their impotent malice in charging the
Nullifiers, with a design to dismember the States,
and rear another government on their ruins,—
They have ransacked the kennels of Billingsgate
for epithets to lavish on patriots, who boldly ad
vocate the Rights of a State, and we scorn alike
the empty bravado, and wheedling promises of
the oppressor. This denunciation we have met
in the manner it should be met, with silence and
contempt. But when the organ of the Federal
party in this State, gravely insinuates that the
Nullifiers are the advocates of Disunion—our
uieriment cannot be disguised. We would fain
meet a charge of such magnitude, with some
seeming respect, for the sincerity of those who
utter it. We believe the Editors of that print, to
be men o‘ intelligence, and it is impossible for
tbem to be ignorant, of the utter want of stability
belonging to the fabrication.—The story is not
even a plausible one! Ilut since they have
made the issue, let us see which side of the ques
tion they and their Magnus Apollo, Wilson
Lumpkin, have arrayed themselves. Without
pausing to comment on the ingenious theories
invented by one of the leaders of the party, which
claim the Governor as their chief, that Congress
lias the right to sell a State, or the equally sound
and Republican notion promulgated by one of the
Editors of the Federal Union, that Stale lines are
of no consequence in laying off districts for
members to Congress! Without at
tempting to overturn the plausible assei „ f
another of its Editors, that the opposition of a
state to unconstitutional taxation, was like the
resistance of a county in a state, to the exercise
of its laws—or endeavoring to reason him into the
belief, that sovereign states do not stand upon
the footing of counties ; We will proceed at once
to the poiat at issue. Gov. Lumpkin’s opinions
we take to be good authority with the Federal
Union, and we recommend the following extract
from his Excellency’s Message to their atten
tion. “ Upon a full view of the whole subject I
would most dceidedlv recommend that our for
bearance and moderation be made manifest to the
whole Union, before we enter on any doubtful or
violent remedy, calculated to jeopardise the ex
istence of the Federal Union itself.” The Eng
lish of which is, let us show to the whole Union
that we have forborne with the American System
long enough and if the Tariff majority in Con
gress, are not willing to do us justice, why, we
will jeopardize the Federal Union itself, in the at
tempt to do ourselves justice. Now the doctrines
of the Nullifiers are precisely and directly in con
flict with this notable recommendation. If our
taskmasters w ill not afford us relief, we will re
lieve ourselves—and we will do it without jeop*
ardising the. Union. South Carolina, has al
ready, procured for the whole south a great, im
mediate relief; and is die Union in danger? Are
we dismembered —disunited, tempest tossed, on
the stormy wave of political commotion? Are we
plunged into civil war ? Are weapons of hostile
brethren aimed at each others life? No. Yet all
this was predicted. The prophecies were falsifi
ed because South Carolina resisted in a constitu
tional manner the arbitrary and unjust decrees of
an irresponsible majority. Bnt Gov. Lumpkin
is not only willing to resist unconstitutional
laws !—hut any law whatever constitutional or
not as the case may be —and we have his own
word to that effect. On Friday the 30th day of
November 1832, (we like to he precise in dates)
the Governor told the Legislature that he renewed
to them his “ unshuken determination to disregard
all unconstitutional requisitions lawsj apper
taining to Ihe cases under consideration, or or any
other character or origin whatever, which
may be calculated to overturn the unqucstionul (we
quote verbatim) rights and jurisdiction of the
State. Now we conceive that to be a very pretty
specimen of the precious doctrine of Disunion—
which these sublimated Unionists advocate so
loudly. The Nullifiers wish to resist unconsti
tutional acts in a constitutional manner, but Gov
ernor Lumpkin cares not whether the. acts be con
stitutional or not, he’ll jeopardise the Union. —
The only argument we know, that can be advan
ced in his favor, is contained in his recommenda
tion “to make our forbearance known to the
whole l'nion.” We need not fear any danger front
Lumpkin and his parly if that is to be the time,
when the Uaien is to b« jeopardised. I'tcAusr
Gov. Lumpkin will never he persuaded that the
whole Union is informed of the circumstance,
and ifthey are informed of it and he believes it,
they will doubtless like the Missionaries, throw
themselves on the magnanimity of the State and
receive his Excellency’s most gracious pardon
and forgiveness.

The above documents are valuable Stato pa
pers, and should he placed before the people fur
their information. The Act of Nullification by
the Virginia Legislature has been lately publish
ed in the Richmond Jeffersonian, and we should
think would effectually silence the objections of
some Editors “to the new and dangerous heresy
of Nullification.” A practice that obtained so
early as 1800 can scarcely he styled a “ new one ”
except by the kindred of the Welchman, in the
middle ol whose genealogical list was a note to
this effect “ about this time was the world created*.'*
Tile Bargain Confirmed!
The last dpsperale effort of the Uis-U nion Par
ty is about being made. We have already no
ticed the proposition of the Federal organ to pur
chase the support of the few Troup men in the
State, who had become reereant to the cause of
State Rights. We have expressed our conviction
that a proposition so revolting to every honest
patriot, would be contemptuously rejected
'There are some however, (we perceive by the
Constitutionalist) either, venal enough to bargain
with their ancient enemies, for their own future
political existence, or deluded enough, not to
perceive the subtle policy of their new found
allies. A writer in the columns of that print,
proposes that the 'Troup Union men should “ ad
opt the broad conservative principle, that the
friends of the Union are our friends and its ene
mies our enemies” and the Constitutionalist coin
cides with the views of the writer! However
palrioticthe sentiment may sound,it is intended to
furnish a pretext foi desertion from the Troup
ranks. Now when the battle is almost won,
when the ranks of the enemy are broken and
wavering, now the cry is raised, let us come out
from those for whom we have hitherto fought, let
us go over to our adversaries and unite our
strength w ith theirs. It is to be hoped that pity
for their tottering condition has induced this de
sertion. ir so we can pardon the treachery.!..
We ourselves have felt the gentle knock of pity
at our hearts, and were almost ready to bid her
‘enter. 1 es, when we have looked at ihe progress
of the contest, and see.. Federalists, consoli
dationist, proclamatiouists, and Ratiiiers, imnm
down before the,irresistible force of trutii. Even
when the arm wa3 raised, their utter desolation
and distress have touched us with compassion,
we iiave paused upon the blow, and turned away
more in “sorrow than in anger.”
Compassionate as we are however, we cannot
permit our tenderness to carry us so far, as into
the ranks of our opponents. Rut let that pass,
the Constitutionalt -t </ , . e, n .
their account in thus joining the r„-i the
Clark party, and we hope they may. Our regret
at their backsliding is excited only for their own
sake. If with this accession of strength (which,
by the by is very slight,) the Clark party are
still unable to conquer. If notwithstanding this
,reacliery in our own ranks, victory will still
perch upon our helms, how utterly lost and despe
rate will be the condition of these timorous sece
ders. Remember the fate of the Saxon Spy who
asked an elevated station as the reward of his
perfidy, and was elevated to the gallows ! How
ever much the leaders of the Clark party may
applaud the .treachery, we are disposed to believe
they entertain no very cordial friendship for the
traitors. They will be looked upon with a Sts*
picious eye, and their new allies will dread a
repetition of the treason whenever an opportunity
offers.

Justice to 'be public, to Major Joel Crawford,

clamor, and appease the discontent, :f possible,
against that gentleman, engendered, it seems,
from the belief that he lias approbated the entire
j action cfSouth-Carolina against the Tariff acts,
of protection.
1 have received communications from several
persons, among whom were some of Maj. Craw
ford’s most decided and hitter opponents, asking
the benefit of my testimony against him upon that
point. From intimations w hich they conveyed,
I have abundant reason to believe that my name

I Crawford was as free and open in the expression

All who were present at the meeting in Alliens,
where the conversation Iliad with Major Craw

with marked emphasis, that Major Cr.wford
considered the action of South Carolina as pre
mature, and the terms upon which she abandoned
her Ordinance as evidencing a want of decision,

Major Crawford admitted the right of Jiouth

TOR THE GEORGIA TIMES.
Habersham Cos. Sept, tiel, 1833.
.Messrs. Eiiitor*—
1 have recently understood fiotn several
individuals, that it lias lieen reported that,
one ol my colleagues and myself were chiefly
aimed at in Mr. Curry’s letter, as having pie
vented a treaty from being made by the gov
ernment, with the Cherokees last winter at
j Washington. Under these circumstances,l
j can no longer remain silent. I therefore
j pronounce the accusation of Mr. Curry, (so
far ns regards myself, as destitute of any foun
dation, as the statements contained in an
“Official” letter, (upon this same subject,)
which appeared tit the Federal Union about
twelve months ago, and which 1 have hereto
fore noticed.
I think this a lit occasion to declare, that
, from the commencement of tho Cherokee
| difficulties, until the present period, inv exer
tions to settle them, have been as great, as
those of any other person in the State, or out
of it, “Official” or unofficial : aud 1 challenge
any man, in the State, or out of it, “Official"
or unofficial, to disprove this assertion. In
addition to this, i give it as my opinion, that
it the President, (as lie w as strongly urged to
do,) had kept open the office for emigrants,
and had given full power to Judge. McClcan,
to superintend a negociation with the Cltero
bees, that long before now, a treaty would
have been made with them ; or two thirdsoT
their number would have been over the
Mississippi. Tiiis opinion is not founded
upon slight grounds, but rests upon a know
ledge of matters and circumstances, which
now rcouire no detail.

The Major after having remained in a
state of quietude for nearly four years, un
bout to take the field again. lie has issued
a Prospectus for anew daily and senn-wei kh
paper, to he called the- Evening Star, in to
ken we presume,of the brilliant manner in
which it is to he conducted. Ambitions how

so inimitable, that none have ever attempted
it, who have not failed most egregious!).
In a pamplct of sixteen pages, Messrs.

of their proposed course, in condncting the

“The Evening Star will afford a friendly

Mysterious Murder. —it will be recollect
ed that a sorrespoudent of the Daily Intelli
gencer some time since gate an account of a
corpse washed upon the beach at Summer’s
Point, N. J. His arms were lashed behind
him, and he bore the traces of a severe ren
counter, and marks of great personal violence.
No clew was found hy which his name, his
residence, or the circumstances of the mys
terious and dreadful murder could be traced.
| All was profound and inexplicable mystery ;
j and they only conjecture justified by tiie facts
then known was, tfic deceased, a genteel,
j elegantly dressed, and handsome young man,
i fiad been robbed by the crew of some coasting
j vessel, murdered, and thrown overboard, and

; the Intelligencer was extensively recopied,
and, among others, was transferred, into the

i sailed from a port in that state to the north.

letters, and the mysterious silence and haste
w ith which the vessel left the north on an

hensions. The account in the lntelligi ncer
confirmed her worst fears. The description
aud the circumstances accorded with the
conviction that the corpse wps the bo.lv cf her
husband. An anxious correspondence ensu
