H DGE \v ill IE \ND THE FREE NE
GROES.
1 It is well known, that in Tennessee, free pcr
‘ sons of color were entitled to vote without tiny
property qutdiiication or restriction, for about
‘twenty-eight yeats previous to 1834, and that
Judge \\ bite took no measures to exclude
diem. He was in the habit of going to the polls
with them, and upon one occasion, did actually
lu.dk to the Ballot Bov, ARM AND ARM
WITH Y FREE NEGRO.
This spectacle occurred in the year EIGH
TEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ITY E,
tin a warmly contested election at KNOX
\ I LEE, it) which Judge White took a very
| active interest for his brother-in-law, Col. YVil
: Hants, who was then a candidate.
1 We make this statement advisedly, and chal
i lenge its denial. We can PROVE IT, and
| shew, hy the evidence of a citizen of Georgia,
! of the fust respectability, that upon the occn
j sion referred to, JI DGE WHITE dd LOCK
| YRMS with a FREE NEGRO, AND WALK
| WITH HIM TO THE POLLS.
If this was not a full recognition of the most
perfect EQUALITY between WHITE and
BLACK, and a total leveling of all distinctions,
| we are at a loss to know what would be so con
sidered.
What would bo the effect of such a scene in
Georgia?
Now we ask, what is the difference between
Mr. VAN BUREN and JUDGE WHITE?
We answer—Mr. VAN 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.
OUR FAITH, AND OUR PRINCIPLES.
The present state of political parties not only
in Georgia, but throughout the Union, imposes ii
fresh and imperious obligation upon every man
who loves his country, and values the preserva
tion of her free institutions, to rally around bis
principles, aud to make a firm and vigorous ef
fort to maintain them.
The men who battled with the storms of 1832
aud ’3, will be found at their posts in 1836. The
moral force of the people, which ballled the reck
less schemes of uwllification, aud tamed its fiery
elements in 1832, and ’3, will again rise up in j
its strength on Monday next, to vindicate those j
great principles which lie at the foundation of the '
Union crcsd.
I'he Union party was not formed upon person
al considerations, or preferences for individuals,
but had its origin in a time of great political ex
citement, when certain disappointed and ambi
tious citizt-usofa neighboring State, were pro-;
mulgatmg doctrines of the most alarming and j
dangerous tendency; the ultimate triumph of j
which,must inevitably have blown this union to
atoms. It was at a crisis’like this, that the men
who loved the union aud the constitution of their
country —who reverenced the priuciples aud ad
monitions of the immortal Washington, came
forth to the rescue—and they are the men who
saved the Union. <
We call upon every union man in Georgia to |
look back to the scenes of 1832 and '3—to remem
ber the perils which threatened his country in
those dark ami portentous days, and to review
the priuciples upon which our party was formed,
and »v contrast them with the wild and visionary
! projects contemplated by the authors of nullifica
| lion.
I The uullifiers may change their name as often
' as they please—they may doll* one title and take
lup another—they may be uullifiers to day—
! State Rights men, to-morrow, aud whigs the day
; after—but their object is the same, their doctrines
are the same. Are they not rallying all their for
ces iu South Carolina ? Yre uot the union men
, of that State to be still trodden down by the fierce
i and unrelenting despotism of the nullifiers ! Yes!
At no period of the contest has the malignity of
that party towards union men and union princi
ples, been more bitter and unrelenting ; and if
we slumber upon our posts—ifwesuiler the cne-
I my to enter our citadel, wo betide all those who
have heretofore struggled in the union cause.
And now let the union party come forth in its
strength, to vindicate the purity of its motives,
aud the soundness of its principles—principles
! which were promulgated at the great meeting iu
j 1833, which have been spread before the coun-
■ try, and adopted as the fundamental articles ot
our political faith, and which wc re-publish this
; day, because in the exercise of political rights, we
; cannot too often recur to first ptiiieiples.
In the proceedings of the great union meeting
. in 1833, are found those sound and wholesome
doctrines which have formed the main pillars of
our republican institutions, and which have im
parted to them, their present pol tical eminence
•tnd moral grandeur. They contain the sum and
substance of the opinions ol the wisest and best
ot Washington, Jefferson and Madison, and have
conducted the union in safety through the tempest
sfiiullification.
Let every man read them again, and ask him
>ell this question ! Am 1 ready to surrender
tan,e immutable principles of republican ortho
doxy, and to deliver up t| J(; destinies of my coun
try to the storms and huiricaues of nullification ?

YVed.xe.-jday, 20th Nov. 1833. f
At a meeting of the Union Democratic Re
publican party of the State of Georgia, com
posed of Members of the Legislature, and citi
zens from all parts of the Slate, convened in the
chamber of the House of Representatives on
Wednesday, the 20ih November, J 833. On
motion of General Joint Bales of Hall, ( Juries
Eaton Haynes, Esq. of Hancock, took the
Chair, and Joseph Sturges, Esq. of I .'pson, and
George \V. Murray, Esq. ol Baldwin, were ap
pointed Secretaries.
On motion of General Thomas Glascock of
Richmond, Resolved, That a committee con
sisting of live, In; appointed by the chair, to
draught Resoltiliens expressive of the sense ol
mis meeting—Whereupon the Chairman Itp
poiuled Gen. Thomas Glascock, of Riclimoml,
Fooinas S. Waytie, Esq; of Chatham, Col. Geo.
W. B. 'l'owns, of Taibm, Col. I loracc R. Ward,
of Camden, ami Thomas Haynes, Esq, ofila.i
cock, who subsequently presented the following
preamble and Rt;>o!nt;om.
The I tiion Democratic Repnb'ii tins of Geor-
I gia, hitherto sepatitled by the divtim tioms of lo
(cal parly, lay ing down all firmer prejudices and
je don irs, as ;t sacrifice on the tillar of their
I country, have become uniteif in a single body,
for the tnaintainance of those principles which
they deem essential to the public welfare. 'File
rights of the individual States ami of the confed
eracy, at" both dear to.us —both alike sacred--
aml both we will zealously support with cur ut
most ability. At the present monient, our in
stitutions are especially menaced by the wild
heresy of' nullification, to which some without
disguise, and others under the covert ot various
pretexts, arc endeavouring to subjugate the
StiltC.
The countenance given to that melancholy
error, lias done more to shake the confidence ot
the world in republican government, titan all
other untoward uccuireti.es in our history to-
I gether. But its influence has been peculiarly
I disastrous to the very people, whom professedly,
lit was intended to serve, its most zealous ad
vocates, appear to have hoped, under certain
contingencies, to inaiiiiaiu their pretensions, by
anaying the whole force oi the South, tn defi
ance to the General Government. And yet
with a marvellous infatuation, they have urged
on their projects in such a spirit of fierce, exas
perating intolerance, as to excite among their
immediate fellow-citizens, a thousand deadly
animosities, not less fatal to the strength, than
to the happiness of a community. A lesson so
deeply fraught with instruction, should not be
disregarded by those who seem to have medita
ted a similar enterprise—leaving other topics to
be discussed as circumstances may inquire, wc
purpose on the present occasion, briefly to de
clare our opinions and feelings in relation to this
important subject.
Resolved, That the federal constitution is a
compact, creating and defining tite Common
Government, established over the sovereign
States by which it was adopted.
Resolved, That the exercise of any power by
the General Government, not delegated in the
constitution, is an act of usurpation, but indi
vidual members of the confederacy cannot, while
continuing their adherence to it, determine the
question whether a disputed power has been del
egated or not. The theory of nullification,
which supposes that any State may remain in the
Union, and yet with unlimited discretion, decide
for itself whether it will or not, respect the acts
of the General Government, is in flagrant op
position to all sound politics. The very es
sence of a common government, is conformity to
the same prescribed rules, by ail those over
whom such government is established. If eve
ry state may determine for itself, how far the en
actments ol the General Government are valid,
it is evident, that the same act may be fully en
forced in Massachusetts, may be only half en
forced in New York, still less in Virginia, and
iu Louisiana be regarded as an absolute nuilitv.
Whenever such a state of things is suffered to
exist, there is no longer a common government:
the Union is virtually dissolved.
Resolved, That the federal compact which
forbids a majority to assume powers not delega
ted in the Constitution, equally requires that a
minority should submit to the exercise of those
powers, which have actually been confided to
the General Government. If therefore, the
doctrine of the nullifiers is correct, that each
party to the compact, enjoys perfect authority to
determine for theniselvet when it has been vio
lated, and to selec t their own mode and meas
ure of redress 'or any supposed violation; it fol
lows, that states in a minority may have a right
forcibly to resist an act of the General Govern
ment, because they consider it unconstitution- I
al; while at tite same time, states in a majority, j
may possess an equal right to execute it by
force, because they believe it to be conformable
to the constitution. It is manifest that a system
like this, permitting civil war to be w aged be- ;
tween the members of the same community,
would be a burlesque on all regular government, ;
and must eventuate in a bloody farce—the ridi- j
culc and abhorrence of the w orld.
Resolved, That when the federal govern- j
ment, by its abuses and usurpations of powers 1
not recognized by the constitution, tvraniz.es j
over a minority, and redress becomes utterly |
hopeless, through remonstrance or the opera- I
lion of the elective franchise, it becomes the '
right and the duty of the people, as an act of I
revolution, to throw off such government, “ and |
to provide new guards sot their future security.”
Resolved, That when the crisis referred to in
the preceding Resolution shall have occurred,
we will ourselves be prepared for separation.
But we would never assent to so monstrous a
I step, without the; most patient deliberation, and
! a profound conviction of its imperious necessi
' ty. No human work is perfect. But the Union
of these States, presents the noblest model of
political liberty that was ever formed by the
hands of wisdom and virtue. It protected the
infancy of our nation : It is rapidly conductit)"
us to greatness and renown. It has covered tl.e
vast wilderness with a hardy, enterprising and
happy population. It has spread our commcj ce
over every sea. Its successful operation not on
ly diffuses innumerable blessings among our
selves, but is, at this moment, cheering the hopes,
and animating the exertions of the philanthro
pist in every legion of the glope. Whoever,
from interested, or light and insufficient mo
tives, Would destroy such a system is an enemy
of his country—the enemy of his species. It is
indeed liable to corruptions; and against these,
we will guard with all our vigilance, and contend
with all our strength. But we will never aban
don it, while there remains a reasonable hope
of maintaining its purity; still less will we con
sent that it shall be sacrificed to the revenge of
disappointed ambition, or the f mtastic scheme-,
of visionary projectors.
Resolved, That, in accordance with the prin
ciples stated in the foregoing Resolutions, we
shall follow', and forever maintain, the political
doctrines practised by Mr. Jelfcrson during his
administration of the Executive Department
of the Federal Government, and as developed
by him, and given to the world, in his Messages
to the Congress of the United States, ami in his
correspondence with citizens of all countries.
Resolved, That, convinced of the perfect
harmony existing between the political doctrines
of Mr. Jelferson, and the political doctrines ot
Mr. Madison, as contained in the Virginia Res
olutions, we shall also follow and forever mat:-
tain the doctrines of Mr. Madison, as expound
ed by hitrwlf, and not as expounded by politi
cal schemers, who .presumptuously pretend to
construo those Resolutions better than their
Author.
Resolved, That, in condemning the proceed
ings ol the Hartford Convention, the object of
which was, a separate peace and alliance with
the em my against whom the people of these
I nited States were then contending for the most
essential rights of independent nations, wo must
equally condemn the proceedings of all other
conventions which are calculated to produce
collision between the State, and the General
Government, and which tend directly to dis
union among the States, to civil war or to de
pend! nee on some foreign potter.
I.csidted, I hat, we view the compromise act
of the lust session of Congress, as the result ol
a political combination, without regard io the
interests of the people; and lb if our senators

Relative lumbers of Nullifiersand Union Men
in the late Campaigns—-A word about Mr.
I an Buren.
1 be Nuililiers say that, in the Florida .'in.'!
Alabama Campaigns, much the largest number
el troops were Nullifiers, and they urge this a
evidence of their attachment to the Union. 1
is well that these men are manifesting this at
tachment: Even Governor Hamilton now pro
fesses it. Suin'! ol them were not very forwan
.o do so in 1832,3, I and 5. But they were beaten
on the ground they occupied, and it is well, per
haps, to take another. The great body of Nul
lifiers, at least in Georgia, arc still attached t<
the I nion, and could not be carried off by All
Calhoun anil Company.
B it, returning to the allegation in hand:—l
will not Im denied that a Union General com
manded in Florida, and that there were som<
Union men among the troops. Jt will not b<
denied that a Union Governor organized, evei
by anticipation, a competent force for the de
lence of our Western frontier, and co-operate!
in the plans deenieil necessary to its defence,
in it the Georgia troops were commanded bv <
Union General, ami that some of the troop
were Union nv n.
II it be the fact, then, that the larger numbe
ol troops in the Alabama and Florida Cam
paigns were Nuililiers, how is it to l.e account! ,
for? Not, certainly, by supposing Union men I.
Im Juki-warm in their attachment to the I nion
but by remembering that a large proportion o
the Nullifiers are men, (and especially youn
men,) who are pleased with no 'clty ami cluing
—excitement mid storm.
One word more, bel’o.- - ihc election, concern
ing .Mr. Van Bunn. Ifclcctcd President, h
will exert a to eater moral infltier.co against Al
idiiioiiistn than any other man in th • cm n i'.
IfJtulge White could be clectel, the [ e >j c ol
the- North, regarduig him as a Southern man and
a slave-holder, would pay very little defference
to bis mere opinions. Considering Air. Van
Buien as entirely disinterested on this question,
they will highly regard Ids well known opinions,
that Congress ought not to abolish slavery in
the District of Coluin'iia, contrary to the wish
es of the slave-holding States, ami that Con
gress ought s:> to i:sr their Constitutional pow
ers us to prevent such abolition.
LACON.
September 22!!, 1836.
, MAJOR GENERAL SANFORD.
This distinguished officer having been mus
tered out of service, took his departure from us
a lew days since, destined lor his home at Mil
ledgeville, whither Im hasgone to enjoy the qui
et of retirement and the smile of friendship,
which are far sweeter than the toils of the camp’
oi even the excitunmnts of the battle field. It
was with pride and| pleasure thut wc witnessed
the arrival ot this officer amongst us at the mo
ment of peril, believing that in a few days he
would find himself in the very midst of battle,
and believing, from onr knowledge of his char
acter, that he would there signalize and distin
guish himself. It was with regret that we took
our leave o! bint, inasmuch as such an opportu
nity had not been afforded him. But what
boots it whether the tocsin sounded—the foe ap
proached—the battle raged—the savage enemy
tell in slaughtered heaps—and the commander
ol the day himself severely wounded, yet having
gained a most decided and brilliant victory ?
What il all this did not take place. The for
tunes of war, like those of every other profes
i sion and vocation, arc fickle, and in winging
| their airy and unseen flight, descend upon indi
- viduiils and nations in the full enjoyment of their
own caprices, Gen. Sanford however, done
the State great service—he went in pursuit of
the enemy, determined not to desist until he
overtook them or drove them beyond his reach.
, In the prosecution of this noble determination,
I he traversed the Chickasaliatchie and Coola-
I walie swamps, together with all that section of
[ low country between this place and the Florida
j line—the General went to fight—for no other
: purpose, but his hopes were disappointed, for
j the rascally' Indians were like the Irishman’s flea,
when be went to put his finder on him, he wasn’t
! there. The discharge of Governmental and
; other important official trusts has led Gen. San

Ii this is not the “age of wonders” it is at least
the era ol enterprise ami improvement. The
N: York Uantil, connecting the Hudson with the
great. Western Lakes, has only been completed
ti n years or a little more, -when the growing te
source i ot that productive region reudeis iieccs
<iry an enlargement of the water communication
sufficient lor Steamboats am! Railroads are alrea
<iy being executed along the greater part of the
line, i bat work which was considered extrava
gant and visionary when projected by Clinton,
is louml sufiit ieiit for the country, In fj>e its gra
titude has erected to his memory ;i sutiable mon
ument, as a memorial of his genius aud public
services.
YVe see now an Ohio Canal, from that noble
river to Luke Erie, aud communications proposed
Irom Lakcj'licliigiin t> tlie majestic a; s.is i/p .
We have now before us reports of conventions o.
Mates for a Railroad from the Ohiti to the All; n
ic, commtn.ii.g at Cinciiuui, and end n ; a
( hai’leston. Surveys are Luing made of a Kai-
Irom Nashville to New Oilcans. There seems to
be no project too stupendous in its character, or
maguil.c.mt in extent, for the genius, resources
ami enterprise of the country. The history of no
country in the world will lu.nish such an example
ol improvcnieuts anil prosperity.
Wc have recently been matte acquainted with a
work, for which without noise, pulling, or nou
rish of trumpets, the capital has been subscribed
in Boston, aud which will assuredly and certainly
lie executed, that fen magnitude o! object ano
public utility is not surpassed, perhaps not equal
led. by any ouo of the great improvements before
mentioned. Tile work to which wc alkule, is tlie
construction of a Railroad from Brunswick liar
bor on die coast of Georgia, to the Apalachicola
River or Bay, in Florida. —Brunswick is ascer
tained by a recent survey of Col. Baffin in, (who
i s admitted to be one of the first Engineers in the
U. States) to bo die best fiarliorou our Southern
Atlantic sea coast, and is perhaps the heald io>t
place in tlie Southern States. This inij or act b.y
and harbor has b.en neglected heretofore, but
. having fallen into bctLir hands, his been found to
justify ti c Report of the British Colonial Govern
ment si.ty years ago recommending it as a Dock
Yard ami Naval Depot for the South Atlantic
Colonies. —A canal is to be constructed to divert
the trade of the Altamaha into this harbor, which
opens into a large inland sound, navigable for
steamboats to Churlest-in and Savannah on tlie
north, am!to St. John’s in Florida, on the south.
A naval Ccmmission is no.w on its Way, under the
authority ot C nrress, to determine upon a si e
lor a south Atlai.tic Navy Y ard, which, looking
to the fact, disclosed iu Col. Baldwin's Report,
must be at Brunswick. 'The object of this com
pany. composed of our most respectable ami res
ponsible capitalists, is to open this canal, and make
a Railroad to the Apalachicola river in Florida,
about 2(10 miles. This Railroad must take near
ly the whole travel from the Northern and East
ern ststes, as well as the south Atlantic to New
Oi leans. It will produce a revolution in the trade
and intel-communication of our country—will
bring opposite extremes together, ami insure a
reaily ami comfortable passage from Boston to
New Orleans in seven days. Such is the outlihe
of a scheme on the eve of execution, with that
noiseless, cautious, and decided character of our
ipopulatiou.
The author of this splendid as well as most
useful pro ject, is Thomas Butler -King, .of Geor
gia, a geutleman, who, by hi s amiable manners
I and great intelligence, has made a most ffivcrabffi
impression upon ail who have the pleasure to
know him, and i! his valtitible services to his State
are appreciated hi Georgia, as such are estimated
here, be deserves, and will receive its highest hon
ors..
