Union Ticket of Hancock County Fok Represent vtivi.s. B. J. WYNN B. T. HARRIS W. S. HAMILL 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. Ayes.—Messrs.

Van Rensselear, I Wheaton, E. Williams.—3l. 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 ?

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.
