JUDGE WHITE AND THE FREE NE
GROES.
It is well known, tb.it in Tennessee, free per
sons of color were entitled to vote witlmut tiny
property qualification or restriction, for about
twenty-eight years previous to 1884, an 1 that
Judge White took no measures to exclude I
them. He was in the habit of going to the polls
with them, and upon one occasion, did actuallx
walk to the Ballot Box, ARM \ND ARM
WITH A FREE NEGRO.
This spectacle occurred in the year EIGH
TEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIN E. 1
in a warmly contested election at KNOX
VILLE, in which Judge White took a very
active interest for bis brother-in-law, € 01. \\ il
liams, who was then a candidate.
We make this statement ai/riW/y, and chal
lenge its denial. \\ e can PRO\ E 11, and
shew, by the evidence of a citizen of Georgia,
of the first respectability, that upon the occa
sion referred to, JI DGE \\ IH 1 E did LO( K
ARMS with a FREE NEGRO, \NDWALK
WITH HIM TO THE POLLS.
If this was not a full recognition of the most ‘
perfect EQUALITY between WHITE and
BLACK, and a tot.d leveling of all distinctions,
we are at a loss to know what would be so con
sidered.
What would be the effect of such a scene in ,
Georgia I
Now we ask, what is the difference between
Mr. VAN BUREN and JUDGE WHITE?
We answer—Mr. \ AN BUREN, drove the
free negroes from the polls by a property quali
fication which effectually excluded ninety-nine
out of every hundred, while JUDGE White,)
was dragging them to the polls, and encoura
ging them to vote without the least restriction.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
The Nullitiers having beendefeated again and
again in open contest upon principle—after hav
ing boldly maintained their name and their doc
trines until both were signally condemned and j
rebuked by the voice of the people, are now
operating under a new cognomen, and upon dif
ferent party tactics.
The name of Nullification is abandoned for
the more gentle and fascinating enunciation of
State Rights. All discussion upon the merits of:
“Me rightful remedy," seems to be abandoned, '
and give and take—that is to say, give a little,
•nd take A GREAT DEAL, is the order of
the day. They are now supporting one of our i
candidates for Congress, and very modestly ask
ing us to give them eight in return. This is re- J
quiringa large boot,but it iswhatthe Union Partv
will never consent to give. If they arodispos- I
cd to cast a gratuitous vote upon General Glas
cock, no man can dispute their right. His elec
tion was certain without their aid, and even if he
receives the vote of every Nullifier in the State, |
they cannot take to themselves, the credit of I
electing him. If in taking him up, they expect;
to produce dissensions and divisions in our ranks, I
they deceive themselves grossly—on the con- j
trary, they will find, that the Union Party will)
rally upon their whole ticket with unexampled
unanimity, and bear them through in triumph.
We learn from all quarters, that whatever j
difference of opinion may exist in the minds of
seme of our friends, in relation to the Presiden
tial election, that upon tho great party land
marks, the whole body stands firmly united, and
will evince, on the fust Monday in October,
their uncompromising hostility to Nullification,
and their fixed and unalterable attachment to
Union principles.
It is time for every Union man in tlie State
to look around him—to be upon the aleit, and
to march in one solid column to the POLLS!
The present crisis, is one of vast magnitude to
the best principles of our government, and in
separably allied to the best interests of the peo
ple. Restless and ambitious—panting for a
new order of things,—what have we to expect
from the Nullifiers, if we give them tho power.
They will not be satisfied with the present hap
py state of affairs, and nothing but changes and
innovations will follow their success. Can any
thing else be expected from men, who denounce
the principles, and abuse the measures of the
Union Party ? Men who have never given the
Union Party credit for honesty of purpose, or
wisdom in action I
To every Union man in Georgia, we now
make this solemn appeal! Are you prepared for
■ total overthrow of those great principles laid
down by your fathers, and which have borne the
< nion through the storms of foreign invasion
and domestic convulsion, to its present pinnacle
of happiness and renown? Is not the govern
ment good enough as it is? Does it not secure
to the citizens, “the enjoyment of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness?” The answer of
every man may be readily anticipated, who du
ly regards the admonition of the father of bis
country—who elierishes for our glorious union,
“A CORDIAL, HABITUAL, AND IM
MO VEABLE ATTACHMENT.”
To such men we speak ! To men who follow
the precepts of the immortal Washington, and
venerate the principles laid down by Jcfierson
and Madison, and all those stern old patriots
who built up and consecrated our present free
system of government; and such are the Union
men of Ge irgia.
They will never innovate upon a system
which has gladdened the hearts of millions of
free born citizens, and excited the wonder and
.admiration of the civilized world.
Os liberty in the fullest sense of the word,
•vhat more can we ask? Wc live under consti
tutions and laws which are only felt in their
beneficence and protection. We arc amply se
cured in all our personal rights, the rights of
property—of conscience—of thought, word and
action. We ask again, arc not these enough?
And with all those blessings around us, our ad
versarics arc full ofdiscontr nt, and pouringout,
from tirpe to time, their lamentations over a vi
olated constitution, a total subversion of repub
lican principles, and a ruined and enslaved peo
ple. In the name of all that is good and gra-'i
cious, what would they have? If they had pow- |
Cf what would tb-y do? “ ,4yr that's the nib." I
They would do something, ami what that some
thing w ould be, is a question which every Union
man should lay to his heart. Tho Nullifiers
have abused the Union men, their principles
and their measures, too long, to permit our pub
lic affairs to continue in their present channel,
should they gain the ascendancy. They would
come into power ripe for the newest fashions,
and it therefore behoves every man who is con
tent, “ to let well enough alone,” and to “hold
fast that which is good,” to summon up all his >
energy, and by all the means in his power, con- '
sistent with honor and good faith, to keep the
Nullitiers where they are, (in a minority) until
they shall “bring forth works meet for repent
ance, by an open abandonment of their prin
ciples, and a return to the true fold.
Let not the strength of tho Union Party
prove its bane—let no Union man say to him
self, our ticket is safe, whether 1 go to the elec
tion or not, but every one should feel, that up
on his vote, depends the success of the Union
ticket. It was this feeling which moved us to
victory in 1533—34 and 35, and which will
crow n us with a glorious triumph in 1836.
Let our motto be, TO THE POLLS' and
TO VICTORY !
MR. V VN BUREN AND JUDGE WHITE.
Tree Negro Suffrage,
In alluding, a few weeks since, to the charge,
that Mr, Van Buren had voted in the New York
Convention in 1821, for the unqualified right
of free negro suffrage, we pronounced it false,
and now repeat the assertion.
Before the year 1821, the free blacks of that
state enjoyed the right of suffrage, without qual
ification or restriction. Shortly after the or
ganization of the Convention of 1821, commit
tees were appointed to prepare reports upon the
various matters under consideration. The one, |
to which was referred the right of suffrage, re- !
ported amongst other things, “that no man ofj
color, unless Im shall have been for three years
a citizen of the state, and tor one yearnext pro
ceeding any election, been seized and possessed
of a FREEHOLD ESTATE of the value of
$250 00 over and above all debts and incum
brances charged thereon, shall be entitled to
vote in the election of any officer of the gov
ernment.”
Pending the discussion, a motion was made
to strike out the proviso containing the proper
ty qualification, in which, Mr. Van Buren dis
tinctly stated, that he was “ in favor of the plan
proposed by the select committe, and opposed '
to the amendment.” See Journal New York ;
Convention page 364.
At page 370 of the same Journal, the yeas*
and nays arc recorded, upon the original pro- .
vise, containing the property qualification; which I
was carried by the following vote.

In the face of all these facts, who will assert
that Mr. Van Buren voted in favor of extending
to the free blacks, the unqualified right of suf
rage ?
That New York should have gone so far in
excluding them from the polls, as early as 1821,
is a littw remarkable, when we consider that
the free negroes of North Carolina and Tennes
see, continued to enjoy the most unqualified )
right of suffrage until 1834 and 1835; and that I
during all this long period, it had never entered
into the head of Judge White and his new born
•vhigs, to consider it an evil, or to take meas
ures to prevent it. Nor is it less wonderful,
that from Dec. 1821 to Dec. 1832, not one
word was uttered against Mr. Van Buren, thro’
the columns of the Recorder; nor was the slight
est allusion made in that print, to one solitary
act of Mr. \ an Buren’s life, which it now brings
up in judgment against him.
If Mr. Van Buren’s vote ih the New York
Convention in 1821, was a misdemeanor of
) such stupeudon {magnitude, how did it happen
' that in 1832, it was passed over in silence
jby the Recorder? Why was the alarm not
I sounded at that time, when Mr. Van Buren was
i before the people for the second office in their
(gift?
The enlightened Editors of the Recorder can
j not plead ignorance of the fact. They were in
) timatoly acquainted with the political history of
Mr. Van Buren, and yet they not only withheld
objections to him, but placed his name at the
head of their paper, and supported him with
zeal and ability.
Let these things be explained. Let the peo
pie know and understand, why and wherefore
they were led blindfold to the support of Mr.
‘ Van Buren in 1832, if his previous acts, ren
dered him so utterly unworthy of the public
confidence. Where were then these sentinels
upon the watch tower of liberty ? Where, was
the public press, and where slumbered the Ed
itois of the Recorder?
By the support which they gave him in 1832,
they virtually waved all objections to his previ
ous acts. If bn had done well, it was a full and
ample recognition of the propriety of his course,
approbated and sealed by their votes at the Bal-
I lot Box. If he had committed errors, it was
) not only an act of amnesty, but of oblivion
: for the past. The people will inquire, why
| this resurrection from the dead? Why this in
i dictnient against Mr, Van Buren in 1836, for
| crimes which were so studiously concealed in
I 18-32?
ren the standard or inion.
THE BIG FISH r*. THE LI TTLE ONES.
It is time for the people to arouse from their
lethargy, and look well to their elections.
The next session of the Legislature will be
one ol great importance to their interests. The
spirit of monopoly is abroad in the land: incor
porations are increasing, and exclusive privile
ges are becoming the order of the day.
Banks and Rail Roads, Canals etc., will soon
take precedence—monied men will form com
panies upon their joint stock funds, and the la
bouring men of the country will find themselves
“ hewers of wood and drawers of water,” unless
they guard their rights with untiring vigilance,
Among all the incorporations which have been
i granted by the State, there is but one, in which
the people have tt general interest, and it seems,
that one, is to be destroyed, to strengthen and
consolidate the power of the others,
The Central Bank is the only incorporated
institution in the State, in which the people gen
erally participate, and as soon as there is a pros
pect of increasing its capital, by placing under
its management, the surplus revenue, a hue and
, cry is set up—-the Bank is denounced as danger
ous and corrupt, and the very people to whom
it belongs, are called on to put it down, just at a
time when they have the means of extending its
benefit , But so it is—The bigfish are always
eating up the little ones.
It the people prefer to give the benefits of
this fund to the rich and the powerful—if they
are willing to see tho wealth of the country con
centrate itself in the hands of a few—if they
are content “ with the crumbs which fall from
rich mens tables,” he it so, but I have a much
better opinion of their good sense and indepen
dence,
1 o those who speak of the corruptions of the
C entral Bank, 1 would simply remark, that if
that institution is corrupt, God help the State !
IV itli a charter which limits the accommoda
tions to twenty-five hundred dollars; which re
quires the Directors to distribute their loans as
equally as practicable, among the citizens, and
which places the whole Bank, with all its ope
rations under the immediate eye and scrutinizing
examination of the Legislature—-If, I say, an
institution so guarded and restricted, is corrupt,
and exercises a dangerous influence, what are
we to expect from the fifteen or twenty others
in the State, operating, in the aggregate, upon
some ten millions of dollars, with power to throw
thirty millions into circulation, wholly unlimited
in their accommodations, and altogether unac
countable and irresponsible to the Legislature ?
It is a plain case, and one which the good sense
of the people will settle in short order. It is
neither more nor less, than to decide, whether
they will place the money in tho hands of weal
thy and speculating men, to shave them
to the quick, ot whether they will use it for their
own benefit, at the low rate of five or six per
cent interest.
There is another and a higher c.onsideraton,
which should engage the public attention.—
The amount,whatever it may be, which is com
ing into our Treasury from the surplus revenue,
is to bo refunded, whenever called for by the
United States, and if it should be wasted and
squandered, whenever the call is made, it must
be raised by a tax upon the people. Under this
view of the subject, the wisdom of the Legisla
ture is invoked, to guard the country against so
great a calamity, and it will be the imperious
; duty of the peoples representatives, to secure
| them against the happening of a contingency so
) pernicious to their interests, and so flagrantly ob
| noxious to their rights.
One generation lias no right to entail a tax
■ upon posterity for the benefit of a privileged
j few ; nor even to run the risk of such a catas
| tropho, where the wlxile people are not to be
equally benefited by the measure. In the pres
| ent instance, a few hundred wealthy citizens,
incorporated together for the purpose of con
structing Rail Roads and works of Internal Im
provements, with great and extraordinary privi
ilcges, not granted to the body of the people—
with the right, not only to make roads in such di
rections as they deem most profitable, to the ex
clusion of thousands of good citizens, through i
whose premises their roads may pass, but all
others; and also, with power to operate upon a
large portion of their capital as Bank Stock,
i three times the amount of which, they are au
thorized to put ih circulation, and thereby to re
cieve treble interest upon their money, while
the poor industrious farmer or mechanic, who
accumulates one hundred dollars by the sweat
of his brow, can only loan one hundred dollars,
and receive no more interest than the amount
of his money calls for, these are the people
who will ask the Legislature to place in
their hands, the surplus revenue, about to be de
posited with the State of Georgia, to be used
for their benefit, and if successful, “ to make the
rich richer”—and if they should not succed in
their enterprises, to fasten upon the whole peo
ple, a debt, which, in the course of events, may'
bring down upon them and their posterity a most
unjust and onerous burden.
By the very terms of the act of Congress it
self, the money is to be deposited in the State
Treasury, upon condition, that whenever it is
called for by the General Government, it shall
be refunded in such instalments, and at such
times as arc pointed out in the act. It is there
fore not a gift to the State, but must be consid
ered in the nature of a loan, pay able on demand,
without interest. Such being the fact, it is the
first duty of the State, to dispose of the money
in such manner, as will most effectually secure
the capital, and its speedy collection, should
the exigencies ol the General Government ever
require its return to the national treasury. Can
that object be bettor attained than by placing it
in the Central Bank? I answer no. Will it be
as safe and sound in the hands of any Rail Road
company, or oilier incorporation, for the pur
pose of Internal Improvements? I answer no.
And why? Because it is known to every man
at all conversant with the subject, that there is
perhaps, not a banking institution in the whole
world, where there is as little hazard or loss, or
where the sum duo, is as generally well secured,
—and because however successful Rail Roads
and Canals have been in some places, they are
still to some extent, matters of experiment, and
that with ail the energy and capacity of those in
terested in their prosecution, they may eventu
ally fail, and a great amount of capital be final
ly les . In that event, vho should be the losers?
WM'HMir, -«r .>> n i-l -- —mu
TIIE S TANIIARD OF (JNJON.
1 answer, those and those only, who embark in
the enterprise, for the host possible reason, that
if successful, they will alone reap the profits.
That such works may fail, the people have
only to turn their eyes to the Savannah Ogee
chee and Altamaha Canal. In that underta
king, NINETY-FOUR 'THOUSAND DOL
LARS of the peoples money was invested, and
it was honestly believed by many intelligent and
enterprising men, that it would ultimately' pay
a large profit upon the investment, and prove a
permanent source of revenue to the stockhold
ers. But what has been its fate? Why, after
the State lias been deprived ol the use of her
funds, until the interest would run it up to more
than two hundred thousand dollars, the whole
Canal, with all its rights, members, privileges
& appurtenances,this day week to be sold under
execution in the city of Savannah, by the Sher
ill’of Chatham County, for it debt of some two
or three thousand dollars; and when we add to
this amount the enormous sum which has been
squandered upon rivers, roads, &c. &c. amount
ing to upwards of a MILLION more, without
the slightest benefit to the body of the people,
1 think it is enough to satisfy the Country, that
the best use which the State can make of her
funds, is to 1-jan them to the citizens at a low rate
of interest, and to afford every one, as far as it
is in her power, an equal participation ; and al
so to settle as a principle of the Government,
that public works are the legitimate objects of
private capital and individual enterprise.
These remarks are not made in a spirit of
opposition to the wotks of public improvement
now progressing, or in contemplation in our
State. Far from it. lam warmly and deci
dedly their advocate in every quarter, and no
one can pray more devoutly' for their success.
But I am opposed, unalterably opposed, to con
necting the State, or pledging her faith to the
amount of a dollar ; but I would grant charters
upon liberal terms, and say, go on upon your
own capital, and make the most of your own
money. For all these purposes, there is money
enough in Georgia, and there is nothing want
ing, but to arouse the enterpiisc of the people.
Why the late attack upon the Central Bank?
I will tell you! It struggled into life in 1828,
against the Bank influence, and the monied in
fluence of the country, and with comparatively
few exceptions, was sustained by the plain, sub
stantial men of the community most of them in
dustrious farmers; but so mild and gentle has
been its course; so uniformly pacific towards
all other banking institutions; so equitable in
the distribution of its funds, that it might have
been fairly imagined, it had outlived all its ene-
• . °
mies. Such is not the fact, and it is to bo short
ly determined, whether it is to be swallowed up
by the monopolizing spirit of the times, or sus
tained by tho voice of the people. Os the re
sult, I have no doubt. The question is too plain
to be misunderstood, and resolves itself into
this simple proposition—Will you, the people,
place your own money in the hands of monopo
lists and speculators, to shave you at twenty-five
per cent, or will you keep it and use it, at an
interest of five or six per cent ?

ESSgSsly luier©stilus’ and
T HE subscriber here offers to all tboso
alilicted with sore, weak or inflamed
Eyes, a sovereign remedy in Dr. ADAMS’ Eye
Water. An Eye Water that has been in use
for nearly IO years in this country, and up
wards of 20 years in England, where it was
first introduced by the celebrated Physician
wiiose name it bears; and emanating from sty
high a source, and from one too who had made,
the art and theory of Medicine his study for.
years, and knew exactly how every article that,
’enters into its composition would act, what ef
fect it would produce., and who in a priyatq.
practice second to none in England, had used
tlie article with unexampled success—and q-hilct
wc are confident that it sprung from speh a,
source, need any fear of using it.
We all know that the Eye is an important pa
gan, that must not nor ought not to be
with ; but when an article comes
by high authority,and by the voice of thousands
who have felt its powerful efficacy in
health and strength to the diseased Eyewearw
at once led to believe that it is not uno of thosu,
every-day preparation with vyhich our papers;
are continually filled. It is an article that will;
recommend itself, and requires np extraordinary
exortions or puffs to palm it upon the public ;
nor 'do we wish to palm upon an enligliteued
public any thing that can qy \yiy prove detri
mental to thorn. But we say tq qne and all,
come and try it, and yqu too yrilj add your tes
timony to those already received in favor o,f its
virtues. W.c here annex a few certificates, a»-t
sured that all laboring with, spye, weak or in
flamed eyes, will try the article and judgoJbr
themselves.
Wc leave the article to an impartial public to,
rise or fall by its own interests,
Dear Sir—
Having at yoqr request made trial of several
bottles of Dr, Adqjns Eye Water, and as you
wish our opinion of its efficacy, duty rathpr thaq
inclination obliges us frankly to acknowledge!
its salutary powers ip restoring health un<|
strength to tlie diseased eyes. Yours,
