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 ? Union .BeEiM>ca’a.£aiß 5Jc- litpresentutive (Hian. hi r, j 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 and reprosenlativcs in congress arc required, as ther first and li-ghest duty, to exert all their tal ents and inl’ucnee in < fl ctin,g a speedy reduc tion of me tariii’, la a fair and iinlform-.landard.

N 0.—57. 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 j lord to make his residence in our city, princi- I pally tor the last four years, lie was therefore ; linked to us by the bonds of citizenship, and I himself being possessed of an extraordinary shate of that kind and social feeling which binds man to man, rendered the necessity of parting stern and unnatural.

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.

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.. —•"• j > NOTICE.
