have no authority over the subject of abolishing i slavery unless it has bceu specially given. In ' the absence of such express control, tin* people ol ! the state can oZonc dispose of the subject. The I I erritories iii niy conception stand on the same basis as the federal district. But there is one re-> •laiuiug view ot the whole ground which I cannot ] avoid presenting. From the evident connexion I between the questions propounded, together with ! the fact, that one of the writers is an elector up- ) on the \\ bite ticket, and perhaps the others his j supporters, it seems clear that the idea is intended to bo conveyed throughout the communication, that Mr. \ an Buren is barred from the I’residen cy by the fact of his admitting the disputed pmv er. ' und that a representative who Anus it, acts in- j consistently. in sustaining his cause—To those who are disposed to think either branch of the propo- i sition tube true the following extract may be ad- | duced. Mr. Van Buren says in his letter of the I 6th of March last, to a number of gentlemen ofi North Carolina, whosought hi- opinion on the con- | ititutional question—“tints receiving the matter I "would not ti.’in the lights now befote me feel ; "myself safe in pronouncing that Congress does I “not possess the power of interfering with, or abolishing slavery in the district of Columbia.’ I Hear the conclusion. “ But whilst such are my I presentgimpressioiis upon the abstract question ot i tile legal powerof Congri.v—impressions which 1 > shall at all times be not only ready but disposed I to surrender upon conviction of error—ldo not hesitate to give it to you as my deliberate and well considered opinion that there are objections to the exercise of dlis power against the wishes of the slave holding States as imjxrilive in their nature and obligation as the most palpable want of coiuiitutional power would be. Some gentlemen cau not conceive of such a case. Let me folio w iug be taken as examples. Congress has an un limited power to raise taxes. A tax of one hun dred dollars upon each individual, without an ad equate emergency, would be equally objectionable “ as the most palpable want ot constitutional pow er would be." The same may be said of the pow er to declare war, to make treaties, to raise and support armies, and of every delegated power ab surd to an extreme. In conclusion wo may say that Mr. Van Buren's opinion, is, that the aboli tion ot slavery in the district of Columbia would involve a violation of obligations equally sacred with those of the constitution itself. For one 1 consider his pledges as ample as those of Judge White. 1 can not distrust their redemption. 1 know that his friends have stood with us in frater nal zeal, shoulder to shoulder, repellin- the as saults of abolition, whilst his opponents, north of the Potomac, have made speeches in the hallsuf Congress in favour of the fair petitioners, and giv en the petitions in many respects a kindly recep tion. Gov. Marcy, tbe political friend of Mr. Van Buren stands a monument of good faith towards tbe South, in recomtnendiug to the last legisla ture of N. ork the suppression of incendiary publications, by penal enactments. If this should ever be done, it will be by the friends of Mr. Van Buren, whilst abolition will array its black ban ners against it. He is not their 'idol—but rather the subject of their vituperation. and political ab boreuce. Let the mauiiesto of Arthur Tappan j and his coadjutors deciare—when they recommend ! the choice of any other candidate. If after these] facts gentlemen will still deliver themselves over to doubt, and gloomy shadows on the subject of abolition so far as .Mr. \ an Buren is concerned, they would seem to be infested with a malady for which “ no cure cau be found in the resources of I " reason and argumentation.” 1 have the Honor to be, Gentlemen, with very greatiespect, Your Obedient Servant, HOPKINS IIOLSEY.

SIR:—At a respectable meeting of the friends I of the Union Party in this place on the 6th inst.' who entertain the opinion, that Congress has no ] authority, under the Constitution, to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, or interfere therewith in any manner, the undersigned were ] appointed a Committee, to address the several Candidates for Congress, now before the peo- ; pie upon that subject. W e are instructed to ask you, whether, in your opinion, Congress has ] the constitutional power to abolish slavery in ; the District of Columbia? An early answer is | respectfully requested. Very respectfully, your ob’t. ser’vts. A. ’AI. RAGLAND, WAI. NIMMONS, WILLIS KILGORE. Hen. C, E. Haynes. Sparta, September loth, 1836. Messrs. .1. M. Ragland, 11 illiam Aiimuions and Willis Kilgore, tlsrrrs. Gentlemen :—I have the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of your communication, as a committee of friends of the Union Party, bear ing date at Newnan, on the Bth instant, asking me, whether, in my opinion, “ Congress has the constitutional power to abolish slavery in .the ! District of Columbia.” No one, I believe, can recognize more fully | tbe right of the voter to inquire into the opin- j ions and principles of the candidate for his suf frage, than 1 do; nor admit more broadly the ; right of the constituent body to instruct their j representatives. I therefore take great pleasure in responding to your interrogatory, by saying, that 1 do not believe Congress possesses any constitutional power to abolish slaveiy in the District of Co lumbia, uor in the States, nor in any of the ter ’ritories of this Union.—Nor do 1 believe that the Federal Constitution has conferred any pow er upon the Government created by it, to alter, abolish, or interfere with slavery, or any other of the domestic institutions of the country, in V any manner whatever. These arc my own opin ions, and so far as I know or believe, are the opinions of my colleagues in the House of Representatives of the United States. In this my answer, 1 have sought to be so ex plicit, that no shadow of doubt can possibly rest upon my most solemn and unqualified denial to Congress, or any other branch of the General Government, any right to intermeddle with slavery in any manner, or in any place, within the wide spread limits of this Union. Permit rue, in conclusion, to tender to you, and through you, to that portion of my fellow citizens whom you represent, my sincere thunks for affording me, this public opportunity of re pelling imputations which have been so free!v cast upon the principles of my colleagues and myself, since the commencement of the last Session of Congress. Willi great respect, I am Gentlemen, Your obedient servant. CH MILES E. HAYNES roiI THE STANDARD OP UNION. Mr. Editor l discover there is a vacancy in the Electoral Ticket of thu Union Party of Geor gia, dial has been nominated for President and Vice President of the ( nited States, by the resig nation of General Watson of Muscogee, Among 11*; many disting-'.ished individuals whose uaiue-i may be offered e-, an Elector, allow me to offer that of General DAVID BLACK SHEAR, of Laurens County. General Blackshear is well known in our State, »s a distinguished man and a republican of the Jeffersonian ami Jackson school, and is in favor of , Air. Van Buren, who has promised to carry out the principles of Presideiit Jackson. True, Gtncral Blackshear has retired from pub lic life—-so has Nathaniel Macon, of North Caro . lina, in the maturity of intellect, and well versed m the political history of our country, ami is as Well acquainted with those men and their priori pics as any man. General Blackhiikaii was nominated an Elec tor at the time General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren were elected. Jat others do what they may, nr HAS NOT CHANCED. The question will not bo asked, whether a man Ipjonged to the Troup or (.lark party.—The ques • lion is. whether he is of the administration party, . and for having the principles of Andrew Jackson •. carried ouf, a;i<| in favor of the nomination of the Baltimore Cpqveution ? General Blackshear is the man--let the nomin ' ation take place. MANY VOTERS, i Although so fat ns we know, the indications of public sentiment in favor of the name of Pitt Mil- ] ncr, Esq. have met the approbation of the Union ' • Party, and has been already placed upon the Elec toral ticket, we cannot forego the pleasure of lay- ; ing before our renders, the above just and wellmer ; ited tribute to the patriotism, integrity, and politi- I I cal consistency ot General Blackshear. He has seen much public service—w as an Elec- j tor tn 1832, and with a full know ledge of the po litical history of our distinguished men, he sup- I ported, and voted for ANDREW JACKSON and .MARTIN VAN BUREN. He has seen nothing since that time, to shake i his confidence in Mr. \ an Bureu. and in eighteen hundred and thirty six, as in eighteen hundred and thirty two, he gives him a decided prefer ence over all his coinpettitors. The example of such men is worthy of imita tion, and cannot fail to produce the most solemn reflection, and serious enquiries in the minds i.i > his fellow citizens. FOR THE STANDARD of UNION. N 0.—55. Major Howard's Declension—Gen. Glascock \ Major Howard declines bolding a poll for the J avowed purpose of allowing his friends an op- ! portunity of voting for General Glascock- If this were the only object, it might perhaps pass; though it would indeed be « rare instance suffering for AN ADVERSARY. But Major Howard probably expects to do more : He probably expects, by allowing his as sociates an opportunity of voting for General ) Glascock, to induce many of his adversaries to 1 vote for one or more of the Nullification Can didates. If, indeed, lie can induce them to vote for all, he will do a good business: One for ] eight would be an advantageous arrangement.' But State Rights and Union Men will, 1 appro- | bend be unable to comprehend the justice of] such an arrangement. The course pursued in relation to Gen. Gias- ] cock is remarkable. He has been highly ex tolled by the Nullifiers; whether for the pur pose of bestowing due praise on him, or dispar aging his colleagues, or detaching him from his associates, may be matter of doubt. He will ] not forget the severity which has heretofore been ! indulged towards him, nor will he be caught in j the toils which have been spread all around him. | He needs not the aid to be derived from a j com prom principle, and, indeed, he might I lose more than he would gain by it. The Nullifying presses may, as they are en- - deavouring, neutralize the impression made in ] their own ranks in favor of General Glascock, | but the indications of the day prove him to be ! strong; they prove the Union ticket to be strong. And tbe declension and declarations of I Major Howard, estimable as he is on some tic- ] connts, show the probability of failure to the ] Nullification ticket, The.intelligence of State Rights and Union j Men—l intend no change of principle by the use I of this title; I only use it as fully indicative of! actual opinions ; for Union Men go for STATE 1 RIGHTS & UNITED STATES RIGHTS— the intelligence and vigilance of State Rights [ and Union Alen, guard against any mischief which might result from placing the name of j General Glascock at the head of tickets, and I then filling the list with the names of Nullifiers; [ uor will honorable men among the nullifiers : practice the deception. LACON. September sth, 1836. P. S. It is difficult to comprehend the obliga tion created by allowing one’s friends to vote for another, when they were before determined to o so, or when it is intended to secure a four old, or an eight fold advantage. L. TOR THE STANDARD OF UNION. N 0.—56. Judge Longstreet's attempted Division and ; Destruction of the Union Party, continued/ The Recent Maneuver. “But,” says Judge Longstreet to the old : Clark men, suppose you unite with us and con | quer; will you not then be in the majority? And if we do not treat you well,” &.c. This attempt nt political bribery has already been exposed. But, as to the majority; are (they not already in the majority? And why! leave a majority whom they can control, foi a! majority whom they cannot control ? The ma jority in which they now are, consists principal ly of old Clark men; the majority into which they would go, would consist principally of old Troup men, And, by the way, they might find ! themselves in a minority of the State among) their new associates: they might fail to “ eon- ] ! quer.” Judge Longstreet talks strangely about Clark men returning to their old friends if not treated I well. Is there a man in the country who be- j lieves that Judge Longstreet supposes they] ‘ would return ? But Judge Longstreet would not be “ undcr ! stood as begging them to adopt his politics.” j Oh no! Judge Longstreet would care nothing about their politics, if he could get their votes. I lie has even said, “ we need not be over squam- ' ish about tbe politics of our next Chief Magis trate" Political power; “the loaves and fish es,” are what he wants. I cannot believe that the invitation to coa- 1 ' trsce, with which Judge Longstreet closes bis remarks concerning the Republican Herald, will be heeded by any considerable number of old Clark mem But the most clumsy attempt on the part of the Nullifiers, is that recently made, to secure the defent of eight Union candidates by con senting that one, whose election was sure, should be voted for by the Nullifiers! Already, too, hey tell the eld Clark men who favor the elec tion of Judge White, that, if they elect all the Union candidates for Congress, it will favor the election of Air. Van Buren; and tho Weekly Sentinel of the 2d inst. tells te people that “ there are now two tickets before them one is the Georgia ticket, and the other is the ticket for Mr. Van Buron,” Ac. In tho Geor gia ticket, it includes the names of Gen. Glas cock, a decided Van Buren man, of the Union Party, and of al) the remaining, candidates of the Nullifiers! It is thus that llie:>e men, after finding if impossible to put General Glascock down, arc attempting to seize his skirts, for the purpose of elevating themselves, and putting down bis old and faithful friends. It was thus, that after failing to keep down General Jackson, they hung about his skirts, till a favorable op portunity presented, as they supposed, lor pul ling him down. Whether they would seize any similar opportunity for putting down Gen. Glas cock, is for General Glascock himself to con sider. These men have frequently represented the Union Party as greatly deficient in talent, in I political, and even in moral worth. They have ) even represented the Union Delegation, jest | ingly to be sure, as mistaking tbe different ; towns, villages, and even Steam boats, by the ■ name of W ashington, as the places to which they should repair, for the discharge of their congressional duties ! If, indeed, the Union men of Georgia, are the dolts which the Nullifiers have represented them; if they are as deficient in political and moral worth as some have sup posed; then they will be caught by the base bribes, (political, I mean,) which have been , held out; then will they be taken by the clum sy devices of their adversaries. But if they possess the sound sense and substantial worth which 1 believe they do; then will the arts and efforts of their adversaries be met with a mark ed repulse; a signal defeat! LACON. September 12th, 1836. Prom the Columbus Sentinel. We publish to-day Gen. Jesup’s Order No. 83, by which it will be seen that the volunteers yet remaining in service, with the exception of Maj. Nelson’s battalion, in the Cherokee district, and Capt. Hentz’s company of Baker county, will be forthwith mustered and discharged. Thus terminates thiscruel and murder ous insurrection of the aborigines of the country against the lives of the whites and the laws and order of civilized society, sweeping in its dreadful consummation men, women and children, —hoarv age and help less youth,—in one promiscuous slaughter. The murderous hordes have all either been dispersed, and afterwards sent off to Arkan sas, slain by the hand of the white man, or driven to their fellows in crime on the Flo rida Peninsula. The halcyon wings of peace again pervades tbe country, and the settlers who have not suffered by the mur derous tomahawk or rifle have again return ed to their homes and firesides. To tbe volunteers of Georgia, Alabama and Ten nessee who so promptly obeyed the calls of their country and suli’ering humanity, much praise is due. Where all have done their duty, distinctions would beinvidious. There is one, however, who, from his situation, has thrown around himself a moral grandeur of which we know not how to speak in just praise. We allude to Gen. John AV. A. Sanford. We had seen Gen. S. in other situations of high trust and responsibility, but never before did we see his commanding talents shine forth with so much lustre. Whether at his quarters in the city, or with his fellow soldier in the tented field, he was always the nan, the gentleman and the of ficer. In his capacity as commander-in- Chief of the Georgia troops, his official du ties were punctiliously discharged. Tow ards bis command, he was the father, broth er and friend; seeing to their wants, attend ing to their comforts, visiting and cheering the sick, encouraging the dutiful and re claiming the refractory. Georgia owes Gen. Sanford much lor the able and faith ful discharge of his high and responsible duties, but still more for his prudent and ex cellent management of the variety of men and character submitted to his command. The citizens of Columbus were anxious to afford Gen. Sanford some testimony of the high approbation they felt for his con duct and services by a public dinner, but he left here for his family at Milledgeville by the first stage after receiving his discharge, and before a d< zen of his friends scarcely were apprized of his intention. The best wishes of his fellow citizens of Columbus most cordially attends him. ORDER No. 38. Head Quarters, Army of the South, ) Tuskegee, Ala. 9th Sept. 1836. J The Major General commanding has the satisfaction to announce to the Army the entire cessation of hostilities and the movement west ward of the principal part of the Creek Nation. He congratulates'Uoth Officers and Soldiers on the complete success which has attended their operations throughout the campaign. More than twenty five hundred hostile Indi ans, among them upwards of seven hundred warriors, were captured by the Alabama troops and friendly Indians, all ofwhopi have been re moved to Arkansas, or are in the custody of the civil authorities, awaiting their trial for of fences against the laws of Georgia and Alabama. Several hundred Indians who escaped Echo, Harjo’s camp in this neighborhood and attempt ed to force their way to Florida, were attacked in the most gallant manner by .the Georgia troops, and with few exceptions were destroyed, captured, or driven back to their swamps. . The greater part of the Georgia and Alaba i ma troops called -out for three months, have al ready been discharged: those that remain in service, with tbe exception of Major Nelson’s ] battailion and Captain llentz’companv ofGcor i gia volunteers, will be mustered, honorably dis- j , charged and paid, as soon as arrangements for that purpose can be made. i he services ol General Officers of volun teers being tio longer required, Major General ) Sanford, and tlx; Officers of his staff, of Geor gia—anda—and Major General Patterson, and Briga dier General Moore, with the officers of j their respective staffs of Alabama, are here by honorably discharged— In Separating offi cially from those Gentlemen and the officers and troops that composed their commands, the Major General would do injustice to his own feelings were he to omit the expression of the high sense which he entertains of their good conduct, A soldierly deportment. They have his entire approbation and deserve that of their country. Tbe Tennessee Brigade under Brigadier Gen eral Armstrong, deserves the highest commen dation for the prompt and effective manner in which they have performed the duties that devol ved on them whilst they were detained in the creek ! country. They are now on their march to Flor dia, where a determined and" active enemy | awaits them.

D, M’lntosh, Esq., Henry County, Ga, Dear Sir;— 4 am this morning in receipt of your favour of the 18th instant, requesting to have some of the Balm sent out to your Slate as soon as possible. Such is the pressing demand ill every section, that 1 have, as yet, not been able to supply the orders that have been suiuo time on hand. J have had an order from Au gusta, Georgia, and Savannah, since last win ter, and only last week sent one gioce to each i place. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina, I lias contracted for that State and Georgia, and j 1 have shipped to him near five thousand bot ! ties, all that 1 could spare. As soon as 1 can, I j will send bint more; but when, 1 cannot say, *s II must divide it as well as 1 can, until 1 can sup- I ply each State fully. 1 willdomyself the pleas- I ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish an ) gency at your office as soon as other engage j ments will allow. I have been putting up near ly t-vo thousand per day, and now find myself j in want of about fifty thousand for immediate i use, and have not fifteen bottles, hut what are j packed up for shipment. From the present de- I maud, 1 should not be surprised, if it were lu take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup* ) ]>ly the demand, Yours respectfully, &.c. H. B. MONTAGUE. ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. Aluemarle, April, 1836. Dear Sir;— We suppose you like good Lews, particularly when you are mostly interested. We have but two bottles left of the box of,Balm you sent u.s, You cap draw at sight for $ , which we believe will be t|;e amount, after de ducting commission and expenses We will thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. • • ♦, j of Richmond, by first a double box, ] which you will put at your wholesale price, for i which you can also draw on us. It has failed in two instances in this neighborhood, but one of the persons that we have seen, thinks it was (with him) rheumatism, as he had the tooth drawn, and the pain still continued. Several persons have used it, with defective gums, or scurvy, and are so much dclightedkwith I it, that we are charged to keep a supply. ’Till, i ladies arc using it with the tooth-bnuji, and say | that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums they have ever used, \\ e are glad, for the sako ot ti e sufferers, as well as on your account that this remedy is not only not of Northern or igin, (from whence till the patent nostrums come,) but is a S irginia preparation, and by a \ irginian. Nor does it detract from its efficacy,, ! on account of thp place of its preparation, (P«- ) tersburg.) once styled by Mr. Jeflerson, Iha j “cockade of America,” It seems to us, that ; all you now have to do, is to see to it, that you keep a supply sufficient for the demand— for if it sells elsewhere it has done here, there will be no end to the demand. Several merchant* of my acquaintance, mean to send for a hax. Allow us to congratulate you, and the pnblif, at the discovery and use of the only remedy (ex cept drawing) lor tooth-ache, that has yet b»«R discovered. Respectfully yours, R, R. A T. T. Q. Huntington, » near Cabin Point, 24th March, J Dear Sir : I bought a bottle of your Balm from Messrs,— ,in Petersburg, in Febrya. ry, chiefly because 1 had a servant who had suflered most excruliatingly for some months, We had tried till the remedies which were jij our teach ; an attempt was made to extract the tooth, but broke it oflj 1 caused the Balm to be used after warming it in a cup—this was re peated with a second spoonful, when she ;vu entiiely relieved. The next night she came for I more, saying that a tooth on the other side ached, and also tequested some for her husband who, she said, h id been suffering with the same disease for some weeks, 1 cheerfully gave it, and the next dty on inquiry found that both were relieved, One of my neighbors of high respec tability sent to me for some for his wife. I have this day sacn him, and he assures tha it afforded immediate relief, and there Jtas becßt no return; before, she suffered almost constant. ly s and could not 1 ear to let cold water toticit the tooth, ami for two nights previous to tl)e application, she had not been able to sleep scarcely at till. Now she has no inconvenienca from cold water or any thing else that conies in contact with the tooth. The night before Ijist, lie used some with one of his own men, with tha same success, and says if he could have had this remedy fifteen years ago., and known its effica cy, he would willingly have given a hundred dol lars for it. 1 have written in haste, giving a plain statement of facts.
