ttjost amply. But the course which lie pursued, with the general temper oi my enemies, denied me every privilege hut that of setting them at defiance, ilcncc our contest, ‘i he (’rawlord men, 1 ; re sume, as such, ielt an interest in my late. If there were any who gave me their good wishes, believing that 1 i-ad advocated opinions wiiiirh in fact : nevi i entertained, it was no fault of mine; for I had not consciously ibis any thing to occasion | the mistake. In describing the circumstances under which.your •• paragrajdis” v.cre written, you re h rto an editorial article in the Con stitutionalist, and the communication ot •• A Troup- Union .Man.” S' iih lire form er i have no concern. 'The latter I avow, not because I consider myself caliod or. to do so", but because 1 wish to be entirely open with you. After making •11 due al lowance for our di He re nee in age and temperament, I cannot conceive how it should excite personal resentment, espe cially in one who is necessarily iamiliar with the broad sty le of censure every where employed towards political masses. You might ten thousand times have called the Union men “dupe--” instruments,"’ and “ subaltern imitate without stir ring in me one angry emotion. Have they not, in fact, ten thousand times, been called by much harder names ? Indeed, if political parties cannot tolerate such expres ions as these, w hat imet be their suffering under others, which they frequently endure? Permit me, without the slightest disrespect, in elucidation o: this point, to cite your own journal, with regard to a topic upon which we coincide —I mean Ratification. Do you not real ly consider your articles under that head far more acrimonious than “ A Troup Union Man”? Yet lam sure you never intended to provoke personal hostility or personal retaliation from the thousands of iiati/iers in the State, or from any portion of them ; and believe me, not iu the least did I expect to kindle the personal resent ment of those to whom I was opposed. You observe that “ ridicule, without a violation of truth, is a legitimate weapon of political warfare.” This is not the oc casion to urge what might be considered the requisite qualifications of so general a proposition : sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. W itli reference to our imme diate subject, the discussion would, 1 think, be superfluous. V. hatcvci inqui ries you might institute, in relation to the affair between Mr. McDuffie and myself, it is improbable that the reports obtained would be admitted ns true by the parties The greater portion of those which 1 have seen published, or understood to be in cir culation, are grossly false, either in abso lute fact or in coloring. This naturally leads me to a view of the subject which, I must hope, would alone be conclusive, both to your judgment and your feelings. For more than ten years, Mr. McD. and myself have been at peace ; and though on many political matters most decidedly opposed, I have observed towards him personal decorum. lie has not been wanting in it to me—on the contrary, circumstances have come to my know ledge, ill which lie manifested a freedom from personal prejudice, that claims my respect. To be constrained in any man ner to revive the old quarrel, I should es teem a cruel necessity. The reports in jurious to myself, wore derived from re proaches published by my antagonist, in the heat of our controversy, and the refu tation would of course involve a renewed denial of them. You see what must be the tendency of all this. Ought third persons to provoke or tempt a rupture between former enemies who have long been at peace and desire to remain so ! Is there not a snared morality, springing from the very religion of honor,that should forbid such a policy ? Your declaration that “no person.l disrespect was intended,” and your disa vowal of “ every imputation offensive to the feelings or injurious to the charactei of a private gentleman,” have induced me to write thus fully and freely. In refer ence to the possible future, something 1 would have said concerning the difference between those who seek and hold office, and those who do not —concerning the clear recognition of that difference by public opinion, which expects the one pa tiently to bear, what it forbids the other to endure. But a glance back 'at the pages, which already exceed the usual epistolary limits, admonishes me to con clude. Your obedient servant. WM. GUMMING. Gen. R. A. Bevel. Macon, Oct. 23,1833. Sir—That the explanations in my last letter, and the spirit which dictated them, are acceptable to you, is certainly gratify ing to me ; for 1 nan say, in the purity of a good conscience, that 1 never inflicted premeditated and intentional injury upon the feelings or character of a human be ing, or hesitated, as an honest man, to make proper amends for an* wrong com mitted througlf mistake, passion, or other infirmity of our common nature. Still governed by the same spirit which dicta ted my former communication, an 1 under the feelings and convictions produced bv this mutually respectful and explanatory correspondence, especially your letter to which I am now replying, I cheerfully obey the plain dictates of honor and duty, and frankly confess, that the treachery of iny boyhood recollections, has led me" in to an error which 1 regret.* On one or two points, it scents, I have not been clearly understood.

We, the Representatives id the good people ot Georgia, in General Assembly met, feel impelled by a sense of duty to outsclves, and those we represent to express our feelings of mortification and regret at the unqualified and opprobious dc mu,nation of his Excellency, the Governor’ in his Address on the occasion of iiis Inaum.’ ration, against the purity and patriotism of ,' portion of our fellow citizens, who have lineally differed with him, f’ 0 ' I he right free!" t 0 express his opinion urn™ •nymxtte:,™ which, the public welfare " Q concerned, is undeniable. The rich) .| so, to express his unqualified disapprobation of every political view, adverse to hi, ulv ' , net disputed by any one ; hut, in assumin' tec office of Censor over the opinions of o th cis, we conceive he lias transcended the d„' tics and powers of the Executive. I„ th “j Address, he was heard to declare, that‘*H» who would destroy the sovereignty of tlie States bv Consolidation, or the Union of the btates by Nullification, is a traitor to his country and deserves the execration of the people. ’ I? Inch, being interpreted, must mean, that he who advocates the doctrine of Consolidation, intends to destroy the sorer eig.ity of the States, and is a Traitor; whilst he who advocates the doctrine of Nullifica tion, intenUs to destroy the Union, and is likewise a “Traitor.” By the expression, no other ideas are intelligible. It i s not a sm, .pie expression of his Excellency’s opinion .... these matters, nor is it a mere disclaimer of those .loetrmes. It is nothing short of a cov. rt attack upon the purity and patriotism of all who advocate those principles- Com mg from an Executive officer, it is calculated to stir up strife, and embitter party feeling It increases discord within the State, and* promotes not tlie Union of the States. It sets a precedent of evil and pernicious tendency and ought never to he followed. Be it therefore Resolved, by the Assembly aforesaid, That this attack of the Governor, on the purity and patriotism of a portion of the people, who politically differ with hirn, w-is uncalled for, undignified, and improper. It is calculated to stir up strife, and may en gender the feelings of angry opposition j and,, m no application to passing events, or exist ing controversies, can we deem it to be autho rized.
