Did those gentlemen who attended the Balti- . nore Convention in 1832, as delegates from the , tate of Georgia, acquaint themselves with the ■ •haracters of those whom they nominated? 1’ ; meh men as Augustin S. Clayton, Richard 11., Vilde and Daniel Newnan, go blindtl 11 into ■ ho nomination of candidates to till the higher iffices in the gift ot the I u on ! V. ere they tin- i teqnaiateil with the claims an 1 qualification , lit I the political course ot those whom they ree >minendt*d to the confidence and suffrages ot !u> people ? To say that they acted in the dark, flat they nominated men of w'i >m they km w tothing, regardless of all consequences, wmih ie, to impute to them, a mass ot' ignorance, than ] vhich, nothing could be more mortity ing to tlu ir ( eelim's. But on the contrary, if thev were mnveisant with Mr. Van Buren's public acts, ind those acts were as criminal as they arc not ! vpresented to be, by the parly to which thes< ( ;entk meu belong, then the conclusion is irresist- , ble, that a most outrageous imposition was prac- I iced upon the people. If the acts of Mr. Van Buren from his fu st , intrance into public life, to the year 1832, were if a character so repugnant to republican prin riples, where was the public press ? by did it lot thunder forth its maledictions upon his head ! Did the presses of the Troup party speak out it that time and warn the people against ini- f rending danger ? No! but on the contrary they j touted bis name at the head of their papers, and ( ‘xtoMed him for all that was pure in principle ‘ ind virtuous in action. Did they then, as they : ! Io note, bring up in judgement the charges and ; | iccusations which they arc exhibiting against. J tim ? No! they thin repelled every attack , »liich was made upon him, with ail their ener- < [ies. Were the Troup Editors ignorant ot Mr. & fau Buren’s history ! It cannot be. Their in elligence forbids the imputation; and yet, 5 Grange as it may seein, some of the selfsame J Editors who at that day, were exerting all their towers in his support, are at present bitterly op rosed to his election, and are going back for learly twenty years, to rake up exceptions to lis public conduct, and to blacken his charac- i er for acts which were known to them in 1832,j md which, at that time, fotmed no objection in j heir minds, to his elevation to the second office ; n the Government. They accuse him ofoppo- 1 ition to Mr. Madison’s election, some twenty ! rears ago.—Why did they conceal it in 1832- . I'hey condemn him for alleged opinions upon t he Missouri question, nearly as long ago.— , t Vliy was that kept secret in 1832? They de- Ij louuce him for voting in the New York Con- i 1 ration, in 1821, to allow the free negroes to j' otc, with a freehold property qualification of i * wo hundred and fifty dollars, which was us well , mown to them in 1832, as it is now, but at that ime, not a whisper was heard upon that sub- ; ect; but on the other hand, nothing was heard ' rom them, but praises and commendations. I iViU the people look to these things? VV ill they ' ' •lifer themselves to move at the beck and call j j if a set of politicians, who first gain their sup- I j >ort to a candidate, by flattering his talents and • , lis principles, and in the next breath, call upon , hem to withdraw their confidence from him,; ( lecuuse he is unworthy of their support ? There ' s too much hard, old fashioned sense among the i >eople of Georgia, to telerate such open and inblushng inconsistency. The men of princi- ■ >le and independence who supported Mr. Van I }>iren in 1832, must be convinced that they ; verc misled at that time, and tiiat those who , lUstained hi* cause with so much apparent z ■ ii rere actually deluding and deceiving them, be bre they can abandon him. As a furt’uer and more conclusive evidence of Mr. Van Buren’s claims to the support ami con fidence of the people of Georgia, we have only , lo turn our attention to the Electoral ticket of j 1832. The gentlemen who composed that , ticket, were selected, for their talents, their probity, and their knowledge of political affairs t ind public men. They ail voted for Mr. Van Buren, and found no reason to distrust him as a j itatesman and patriot on account of any act of his previous life. With all these facts staring them in the face,' is there a man in Georgia, who has heretofore becti the friend of Mr. Van Buren, who will de- ; sort him in the present contest, upon the stale I accusations, and vamped up stories which arc ! now going the rounds against him ? Men will think and act for themselves.— They will not be hood winked and led and driv en about by designing politicians. No! There is a pride of independence among the people of Georgia, which scorns dictation, and there is a virtue and intelligence; a freedom of word and will as unconquerable and uncontrolable as the winds of heaven. •DEFENCE OF THE FRONTIER. ‘We publish below, the letter of General Jes sup to the Governor, by which it will be seen, that prompt and efficient measures have been taken to protect that portion of our frontier, where danger is still apprehended from those parties of hostile Indians, who have been for some time past, making their way through Georgia, from the Creak Nation <o l lotida. As soon as Governor Schley was informed iofthe movements of timse parties, and the ex posed situation of his fellow-citizens, he imme diately called upon General Jessup, now in com wand of the southern division, for an adequate force to defend them against the hostile move ments of the savages, and to expel them from Mir borders. This requisition has been com fdied with, without delay on the part of Gener leuup, and tivery arrangement made, to give "ectirity to the people and their property —and such has been the derided anti energetic course of tin,- Governor from the commencement of hostilities in Florida, during the past winter, to ro the present time. !

M. ) ( INDIANS--BUTCIIERY—PURSUIT i ESCAPE. Our Townsmen who went day before', yesterday to the rescue of Mr. 1 iigginbo-1. tuani’s family as stated in our last have j, just returned—themselves and horses ja- < ded and looking as if they had a hard pur- 1 | suit. They are the best and bravest of our « j men, and went with the expectation and t i det< rmiiiation to pursue and overtake and ! destroy daring ladians. Maj. Hart, to whom we are indebted for the follow ing particular, reports, that on ' Thursday about 10 o’clock, they reached > the house oi Mr. Higginbotham, which ; was attacked. There they found the two] i j men (one of whom was sick) and tlie two j t i ladies on guard w ith guns in their hands. ! 1 ! The Indians had not re-appeared after their! i being beat oil’ before Mr. Higginbotham i j lift to report to us in town. On a slight! | examination they saw a immber of bullitj j marks in the house, made by the Indian’s i | shots—and saw tiie clothes of the younger j I lady, through which the ball passed, gazing j ! the skin of her person. She had arisen ’ early and gone out towards a branch for j water, w hen the attack was made upon the < house, between which and iiei self were the ! Ind a is. The Indians fired at hi*, and 1 one bail passed I.er side so close t.s to cut: through all her clothes but touched not her body. She ran to the branch secreting herself therein, and subsequently made her way into the house, past the Indians in ! safety. Alter a little time spent iu search i the party under Maj. Hart, found where tlie Indians encamped the night previous ' not three-forths of a mile from the house, | and also tiie spot w here the horses were tied ! while tl e attack was made on the house. From that spot onr party took the Indians j trial. It struck the Tallahassee road, and ’: these daring Devils kept the roatl for near 10 miles, riding at full speed as their trail ( J showed, till they came to Mr. McCormick’s >! house then occupied by Mr. Johns and (wife, on the road IS miles from Jackson ville. Oar party in pursuit reached this house about 4 o’clock P. M. It was a j smouldering pile of ruins. On examination j Maj. Hart stales, that they found the cal cined bones ol’a human being burned in the • house. A peice of the backbone was found j with someJlesh upon il. The skull was to i Le seen, but at the touch it fell in arid crum , bled to peieesi The bones were mostly re j dticed to ashes. Near th: house was found a quantity of hair, to apenrance that of a female. Thence the trail seemed to be still on the road, am]our men ptisued on with increased speed an anxiety, to overtake tin j murdering Indians. They expected to do - j so at tlie next house (Mr. Lowder’s) 7 miles 5 ! ahead. On arriving there they found the j! house abandoned by the two females and j their children who lived there, but unvisted ’j by the Indians. The inmates had evidently ! lied in alarm, as the dinner they were pre r i paring was still at the fire and warrn.of whi< h ‘‘ ourparty partook—and then, doubtful of I the trail the were on, set out for Mr. Sparks- 41 man’s, 4 miles distant. It was ofter night - when they reached Mr. Sparksman’s no: - was it possible for them to determine . whether they well on a trail or not. Great ~ distress filled the house of Mr. Sparkman. There was Mrs. John-—her arm laid open with a rifle bullet—a ball shot through " her neck—and her scalp co far as the hair extended over her head, most horribly and ‘ mangiingly taken off-—and she stillalire! ! '' Good Go(l! who can hear the bare recital 1 of such a deerl, and not feel honor-stricken i< at tiie cold-blooded barbarity ! Who f can hear, and not feel a thirst to revenge rj such outrage ? She was aide to stale the circumstances ' ot’ the attack upon herself and husband. I They were about twenty yards from the house, between 10 and 11 o’clock Tliuis dayn ornini’wbenthe Indians showed them selves by the corner of' a fence close to them, the Indians fired und wounded Mr. Johns in , . the left breast. Both ran for the house, en- ', I ten d and closed the door. The Indians I came up and fired on the house. Tiiey cal- ; led out in English, ami told them if they b I would come out they should not be hurts ' 1 I'he Indians looked m through the crack. (the house was made of logs) and told Mr. Johns and his wile to come out ; but they did not consent to do so, but begged for j their lives. Tlie order was given in En-I glish to charge the house. The Indians burst in—shot Air. Johns through the Lead i —he fell, and his wile ieli upon his body. An Indian dragged her to the door, am said to “ hi-e-pus-cha,” “ go.” She asked whe ek l.e pointed tow arils tlie head of Black ' Ureek. At that moment she saw another in ti an c. e! Ins rdl.—she threw up her arm— die Indian fired—ami the bail culling Ln thwise through the filesh oi' her aim passed through her neck. She fell.— I’lie Indian came up—dragged her into the hall of the house (the house is w hat called ; t a double log-house) and then taking out her !. comb and tearing the string from her hair, I scalped her. He did not tear the scalp off, but cut it as butchers take the skin from a beef. Dining this operation Mrs. Johns was sensible of what was doing. She saw the Indian’s scalping-knife, and says it w as a round pointed common butcher-knife. . She lay as il dead.— Fhe Indians plundered r the house, taking a pair of portmanteau con- ( tabling $ IUO, and every thing of value—set fire to the house, and one Indian applied the torch j to her clothes—left the house—-gave a whoop, and hurried oil in the direction, she thought from their noise, of tlie head of Black-Creek. She felt the fne of her clothes upon one leg, and as soon as she dared to move so much, grabbed in her hand a quantity of her own clotted-blood, with w hich she put out her burning clothes. And r then, when the Indians were out of hearing, she 1 < got up saw her murdered husband’s body un- | scalped and unmoved from the position in which > s he tell except tho Indians had put one foot up H on the edge of a table. The house was on fire —she made her way out of it, fainting every few minutes.---She reached the edgeol a swamp —got some water and there lay down, unable to get farther. There she remained till 2 o’clock, P. 2d., when three men, Mr Johns, the father of t her husband, Mr. Lowder,and Mr. McKinney J came along. They saw the burning house all t fallen in except the corners of the logs, the bo- i dy therein burned—and discovered her, whom I they took to be an Indian at first, then a squaw. On advancing to her, what must have been the feeli.i> s of her father-in-law, to recognize in the butchered, bloody, almost lifeless woman, his d lughter-in-law—and to know that the burned human frame in the house, was that of his son ! —These three men carried her to Mr. Low dekr’s , and giving the inmates of the house the alarm, ( and taking them, the two females and their chil- . dren, went on to Air. Sparkman’s—xvhere our • party in pursuit of the Indians, found them as above stated. It was the trail of these men that was mista ken for that of the Indians. The Indians were all mounted, and the trail was therefore easily mistaken. Mrs. Johns saw eight Indians and one negro—the negro was naked, except a wol len flap he wore. She saw no horses and prob ably there were more than eight Indians, as , they would undoubtedly bo very liki ly to leave ( some with the horses. It was now ascertained . that the Indians had taken five horses from Air. Eubank, on., from Airs. RatciilT, and three from 1 Alt. Johns whom they murdered, and also that 1 our party was off their trail. It was not possi- ! ble to follow the trail of their horses in the night, I and therefore our men encamped. Early in the morning they set out, and supposing the Indians , turned from the left of the road, they struck in to the woods in order to come upon the trail , ■ without loosing the time of retracing their steps i to the house where Air. Johns was buiied.— . I’hey struck the trail quite early and followed iit with all the speed possible. Thev found i where the Indians stopped to take a lunch as : was supposed. They continued the pursuit to the head oi Black Creek, where finding that the j Indians, having, as was known, six hours the start on the day before, had travelled in the ! night, and that too, with great rapidity, as the ! trail showed. Our townsmen with those wl.o ‘joined them, making twenty in number, came : io the conclusion, that further pursuit would be 1 useless, and witii disappointment and regret and reluctance, gave up the pursuit, it being near night, and on 1 riday they turned for home, and reached here to-day. The Indians rode with all the speed of their horses. Those they took were among the best in our County, and able to bear pushing. Our party had good horses and they pushed them in tiie pursuit all that their speed and bottom would bear, but il was in vain. The enemy expec ted pursuit and therefor a directed their rapid iliglit lor tiie Nation, where it is supposed they arrived without s opping. It is presumed they made for Payn’s Piairie—we had hoped th; t tiiis daring party would have been rash enough to attempt to drive cattle before them. In ihat case, our men would have pushed on till they overlook them. These Indians came in tlie same direction they took on their return. 'l’l ere were plainly to be seen here and there the remnants of a trail, especially in the grass and by the Palmetto leaves gathered in several pla ces where they stopped and probably encamped. It is thought they came in lon days or two weeks ago—during which time to the present, tiny have been lurking about Brandy Brandi, where Indians have several times been seen. They have undoubtedly spied out this whole section, ami arc now gone to report their intel ligence, taking with them nine stolen horses ami a woman’s scalp. It is true this party of Indians were well mounted on fresh horses, but still the issue of the pursuit shows how almost impossible it is to overtake them, in their re treat after committing depredations. If they have a few hours only the start, thev can reach the nation m safety and mock pursuit. In truth a good portion of tlie movements of the army, ■ (there are some bright exceptions) have failed I of effect through tardiness and through want o* | .i sufficient number of good spies. That these cursed butcheries, so bold as to - come within seven miles to ccmn.it their depre i dation,should escape from so ready, rapid, and [ hot pursuit, and that too, from men of known . bravery and perseveiame, and determined at , every hazard to overtake and chastise them, gives us great mortification and p.iin. They did ail tbit men could do, except running, only 20 strong and without food ami forage, in -1 tn the nation after tliem, which would hate been • folly and rashness. 1 Upon the arrival at Black Creek of the cx -1 press sent to Maj. Pierce, he immediately or dered out three companies in d fierent direc -1 ions to cut off tlieir retreat. The Indians un / douhtedly passed near Kingsley’s Pond. We | understand a company went to flint pass on t i ridny evenin'/, but saw nei her Indians nor their trad. The companies returned Friday , night w i 11..nt making any discover.' Wp are informed that on Saturday morning, Alajor Pierce, at the head of 50 men, went again to s strike, if pmyilde, their trail, in consequence of THE ST ANDAR II OF UNION. the report of the mail carrier from this place,' ■ who arrived Friday night. We piny that Major Pierce, to whom great ! credit is duo, for liis prompt and vigorous exer tions to intercept this banditti, may fie able to fall in with them. A letter to the Editor, under • date of the 16th iust., late at night, from a 1 friend, a Lieutenant, whose metal has been proved to he pure gold, thus closes:— i “The mail carrier for whose fate we were ; quite anxious, has arrived, and information re ceived from him lias determined Major Pierce , to set out in the morning at the head of 50 men to scour the country in ti e direction of Santa- Fe and New River. Be assured that every ex ertion in the power of man w ill be made, to cap ture or destroy those savages. If we ever strike ' the trail they are ours.” God grant that the next intelligence from that | quarter may be, that this party of desperadoes : is cut off; but the speed of their flight forces us ; to suspect that they have escaped, in spite of | all the exertions made to overtake and inter- , cept them.

With his fate in the fortress oi San Antonio, Texas you are doubtless long since advised. With sincere feelings of sympathy, I regret liis untimely loss to your ■ family and self, F ()1 . if among strangers ' he constituted the most agreeable compan ion, he, doubtless, to bis beloved wife mid 1 chiidren must have been a fax orite peculiur , (>( prized. In liis loss, Freedom has been , di priveil of one of her hrayest sons, in r whose bosom philanthropy glowed with as , | genial warmth as ever animated the heart Ilof an American citizen. When be fell, a soldier died. To bemoan his fate, is to pay a tribute of greatful respect to Nature—he seemed to be her son. The object of this letter, is to beg that you will accept the watch which accompa nies it. Yon will doubtless know it when you see it. And as it has his name engraved on the surface, it will no doubt be the mure acceptable to yoil. As it will probable be gratifying to yon to learn in what way I became possessed of it, permit me to state, that, last winter, (the precise date not recollected by me.) ; Colonel Crocket, in company with several other gentlemen, passed through Lost Prai r eon Red River, where I live.) The com pany, excepting the Colonel, who was a little behind, rode up to my house and asked accommodations for the night. Aly family being so situated, from the indisposi tion of my wile, that 1 could not accomo date them, they got quarters at one of niy neighbors’ houses. The Colonel visited me the next day and spent the day with m . He observed, whi st here, that his funds were getting short and as a means ofrecru ting them, he must sell something. He proposed to me to exchange watches—-he priced his at 30 dollars more than mine, which sum I paid him, and we accordingly exchanged.. With his open franknes, his natural hon esty of expression, his perfect want of con cealment, I could not but l.e very much plyased. And with a hope that it might be an accommodation to him, I was gratified at the exchange, as it gave me a keepsake which would often remind me of an honest man, a good citizen, and a pioneer ill the ause oi Liberty, amongst his suffering brethren iu Texas. ‘ His military career was short. But though . I deeply lament his death, 1 cannot restrain j iny American smile at the recollection of the fact that he died as a United States soldier should die, covered with his slain enemy, and, even in death presenting to them in his clem hed hands, the weapons of their destruction. We hope that the day is not far distant, when his adopted country w ill be freed from 1 a snvage enemy, ami afford to vcurself and I, children, a home, rendered in every wav ; comfirtable, by the liberal donationsuf her gov ermnt nt.
