A dinner at Tammany Hall was once i
tendered Gen. Harrison, when lie was going ] i
out on his mission to Columbia, whence 1
he was recalled in disgrace for meddling !
with the domestic affairs of that country.
It was as high an honor as his new oilice.
or his former services, entitled him to. h
was tendered him by democrats always gen
erous ns well as just to public servants. The
whigs had and would have, nothing to do
withit. They thought Gen. Hariison an,
old woman, and would do nothing for him
unless to repeal the oiler made him by the
ladies of Cliilieothe, of a petticoat. The
Democrats hare done even all that cou: te
sy could call his due. The whigs have
been compelled to take him in del mil ol
better, for a candidate, and now they strive ,
to make n hero of hi-'.i. IL* is an old wo
man no longer, but a savior of his country
n Cincinnatus, a \\ ashington, a soldier
greater than Napoleon, a statesman wiser
than Chatham.

THE RESULT IN MAINE.
The Democratic candidate for governor,
D inlap, has been re-elected by an over
whelming majority. But four of the eight
Congressional Districts have in all proba
bility, effected a choice of members, viz:
Kennebec and Somerset, Evans, federal,
same last year—Lincoln, (if any choice)
Baily, federal same last year—York, Fair
field democrat—Oxford, Carter, democrat
—in the remaining four, viz, Cumberland,
Waldo, Penobscot and Somerset, and Han
cock and Washington it is almost certain that
elections have been defeated by a multiplici
ty of candidates although the democrats
have cast a great majority of the votes in
each of these districts and by uniting, will
carry them at the second trial by triumphant
majorities.
The democrats have carried their Sena
torial tickets in six out of the eight coun
ties (Kenehec and Lincoln have always
been federal) and elected more than two
thirds of the twenty two Senators, and Rep
itentativer. in about the same proportion.—
If the feds can draw any consolation from
this result they are welcome to it.
The Eastport Sentinel, a strong federal
paper in Maine say s—
“ We give below retuns as far as we have
received. We must confess they do not
look as favorable as we anticipated. We
expected better things of the Whigs in this
country.”

■ THE GLORIOUS NINETEEN.— THE
VICTORY COMPLETE.
Our worthy nineteen Senatorial Elec
tors, who represent nearly three-fourths of
the whole white population of the State,
I and have been elected by more than three
: thousand nmjorily of the voters, have nobly
sustained themselves. They have glori
ously maintained their integrity. They
have manfully asserted the rights of tlieir
constituents, in refusing to meet the minor
ity Elect >rs. mid thereby prevented the elec
non of a minority Senate by means of which, I
j the few would have been enable to rule the
j many, to trample on the rights, the feelings I
I and interests of'the minority, and to perpe-l
tute the shameful system of misrule and
mismanagement which has too long prevail
ed in the state. By the noble stand winch
; the nineteen have taken, they have secured
for their names a glorious immortality ; and
; merit the plaudits of yvery freeman in the
i country, and will receive the blessings, not
'only of the present, but of future ages.
They have proved themselves sufficient
firm and determined in the support of a
just cause, to {merit the cofidence of the
people, and to fit them for any emergency.'
By the patriotic course which they have
adopted, they have proved that they know:
their own rights, ami the rights of their]
, constitutents, and that knowing them they:
will firmly faithfully and fearlessly maintain !
them. Our opponents have resorted to
every means in their power, to induce them;
to abandon the rights of their constituents,
ami to lend their aid in expressed will of a
majority of the people. They have resort
edtothe use of flattery, persuasion, threats
I and intimidation. They have been sur
rounded by a host of noisy and blusterin' -
politicians from this city, anp other parts of
the stale, who have strenuously endeavour
ed to divert them from their purpose, and
1 the path of only ; but the Spartan band
| have proved invulnerable—they have re
sisted all the shafts ofthe adversary, wheth-
I er dipped in honey or in gall, and'have es
caped the poison with which they would
have destroyed them. For their noble con
j dubt, they deserve our highest encomiums,
and will receive the benedictions of unborn
, thousands. Fot their honesty and firmess
j their names will be inscribed high on the
. scroll of fame, and will describe to posteri
ity surrounded with a hallo of glorv, as
bright as that which has accompanied the ■
1 names of the signers of our Declaration of
i Independence. We place before our rea

ami two negroes. As it was too late and
rainy to make a successful attack that
night, spies were sent to discover the posi

The Indians made desperate attempts to

i\iore Indian Depredations.— The mail
carrier from Tallahassee, who arrived last
Saturday evening, states that on Friday
last, he met a man nearly naked, ami almost
dead w ith exhaustion near Ocean Pond,
between Alligator and Suwanee. This
; man, named Hunter, said that on Wednes
day morning of last week, about fifty In
dians atteked a house near Orange Pond,
I occupied by Air. and Airs. Uptegroveand
himself all advanced in age. Air. Upte
giove was killed—Airs. Uptegrove fled
from the house through a back door. Air.
Aunler says l.e saw tour or five Indians
running close after her, having shot at her
witliout stopping her flight. She was un
doubtedly taken and killed by her pursu
ers.
Air. Hunter managed to escape to a
pond, ami got into it as far as he could.
The Indians surrounded the pond, ami re
mained on guard for him till m ar daylight
the next morning, w hen they left, doubtless
supposingtheir intended victim was drown
ed. Near 24 hours did Mr. Hunter remain
in lie water with no part but his face out,
so that he could breathe. In this way be
eluded their vigilance, ami after the depar
ture of the Indians, he left the pond and
endeavored to make his wav to the nearest
post, when he was found by tba mail-rider.
He had been without food liom Wednesday
morning till Friday.
The mail rider assisted Air. Hunter a
long till meeting with two individuals go
ing to Alligator Fort, who took the suffer
ing man under their protection.
Some gentlemen arriving in Town yes
terday, report that thal the bodies of Air.
an.l Airs. Uptegrove have been found.
Hers was in a pond where she bad been
shot. His was mangled, and seven or eight
bullet holes through it. A light wood
knot was lying near with hair ami blood on
it, w ith which the Indians bad beat out his
brains.
This is another instance in our vicinity
of Indians committing barbarities upon fe
males.
It is supposed by some, that those In
dians were Creeks, on their way to join
the Seminoles. Others think them Semi
noles, ami the same band that committed
the outrage on Airs. Johns. This is quite
probable as that party made a singular es
cape. The passes by Kingsley Pond,
were guarded by Major Pierce’s command
ami in fact he strung his men from Black
Creek almost to the Santa Fe Bridge, and
yet no trail of that parly was discovered.
They may,on finding their way guarded,
have turned their course northward, in or-

JUDGE WHITE AND THE FREE NE
GROES.
It is well known, that in Tennessee, free per
sons of color were entitled to vote without any
property qualification or restriction, for about
twenty-eight years previous to 183-’, and that
Judge White took no measures to exclude
them. He was in the habit of going to the polls
with them, and upon one occasion, did actually
walk to the Bidlot Box, ABM AND ARM
WITH A FREE NEGRO.
This spectacle occurred in the y<?ar EIGH
TEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE,
in a warmly contested election at KNOX
VILLE, in which Judge White took a very
active interest for his brother-in-law, Col. M il
liams, who was then a candidate.
V. e make this statement advisedly, mid chal
lenge its denial. We can PROVE IT, and
shew, by the evidence of a citizen of Georgia
ol the fust respectability, that upon the occa- |
sion referred to, JUDGE WHITE did LOCK
ARMS with a FREE NEGRO, AND WALK
WITH HIM I’o THE POLLS.
U this was not a full recognition of the most I
P’-rfect EQUALITY between WHITE and
I>L K, and a total/cr/'/big ol al! distinctions: '
we arc at a to know what would be so cou- i
sidered.
\\ hat would be the effect of such a scene in I
Georgia ?
Now we ask, what is the difference between j
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 eve ry hundred, while JUDGE White,
was dragging them to the polls, and encoura
ging them to vote witliout the least restriction.
THE PROOF.
\V hen the above remarks were submitted to
the public, we anticipated a denial on the part
of the nullifying presses. That denial has gone
forth, and it now’ becomes us to give our author
ity for the statements we have made.
For proof of the facts set forth in the above
article, we refer our fellow-citizens to BEN.I A
MIN L. LESTER, Esq. of Baldwin Countv,
a gentleman of high and unblemished character,
who was present at Knoxville upon the occasion
referred to.
It has not been our habit to raise false char
ges against our fellow-citizens, nor to make as
sertions which we could not substantiate. We
have too much respect for the rights and feel
ings of others, and too much regard for our own
■ character to attempt to injure any man by slan
der and vituperation.
In the present instance, we spoke advisedly,
and upon the authority of a citizen whois whol
ly unimpeachable.

Electoral Ticket. |
Gentlemen—One of the organs (the Repub- !
lican Herald) of the party, whose feelings you |
represent, on the important question of the next i
Presidential Election, has declaied, that it had ■
sooner see Genl. Harrison, or any other candidate
in the Presidential chair than Mr. Van Buren.
Believing as we do, that Genl. Harrison and Mr.
Webster, are both entirely opposed to the best
inteiestsof the South, either in principle or policy,
and especially as regards the, abolition question,
we have deemed it not unimportant to ask you
the following questions.
1. In order that our representatives in Con
gress, should the electoral ticket w hich you com
pose, be successful, may know the entire wishes of
a majority of the people of Georgia on this im
portant question, we ask of you to infoim us, iu
the event the election should be carried to the
House of Representatives, who is your second
choice for the next President of the United States
—provided it may be satisfactorily ascertained
that Judge White cannot succeed.
2. W’ould you, as in the case of Mr. Crawford
and Mr. Adams, when Gen. Jackson was defeat
ed and the will of a majority of the people set at
naught, require our representatives iu Congress
to support Judge White? Should that support be
found to advance the prospects of Gem Harrison
or Mr. Webster.
These questions, gentlemen, are asked you in
the spirit of candor, and, with a desire to have
this important subject placed before the people
in its true light.
Very respectfully yours, &c.
Edward Delony, J.’Y. Gardner, J. B. Davis,
J. T. Sims. C. R. Wynn, James C. Leonard,
C. J. Wallace.
VAN BUREN or HARRISON.
From indications which no rational man can
mistake, either VAN BUREN or HARRISON
will be the President.
Men may turn their eyes from the question—
they may close tlieir ears against the warning
' voice of reason and prudence, but we tell them
now, and in due season, that the party opposed
to Van Buren in the north, and the west, will
controul the question, and as sure as the election
goes to the House of Representatives, as cer
tainly will all their influence and exertions, set
tle upon Harrison.
The States which prefer Mr. Webster, will
take Harrison, and with those which go for him
in the first instance, he will rally a parly, which
will at once overshadow JUDGE WHITE.
The friends of Harrison claim for him
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania. New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Missouri.—
> Mr. Webster will bring to his aid, Massachu
i setts and Vermont, and Virginia will certainly
' vote for him, if the Van Buren ticket is de
feated.
If their calculations be well founded, and the
presses in favour of Judge White, are boasting
that the Harrison ticket w ill succeed in those
States, how will the question stand when the
Electors come to give in their votes? Why,
Ohio gives .... 21
• Kentucky .... 15
Indiana ..... 9
Massachusetts .... 14
Vermont ..... 7
New Jersey .... 8
Pennsylvania .... 30
Delaware ..... 3
Maryland .... 10
Virginia .... 23
140
If the statement of the w ings can be relied
on, and General Harrison actually gets the
votes of these States, an alarming crisis will pre
sent itself to the people of the South, and a
question of the deepest interest, thereupon,
presents itself to the people of Georgia, of no
less magnitude than that of deciding the election I
between MARTIN VAN BUREN, decidedly
opposed to the schemes of abolition, and who]
also voted for a bill to prevent the circulation !
of abolition papers, as strongly drag’ll as Mr.
Calhoun could make it, and Wm. Henry liar- !
rison an open and avowed ABOLITIONIST, i
who maintains that Congress possesses the con
stitutional power to draw from the pocket of 1
the slave holder, in the form of a tax, the money
to pay for his own slave for the purpose of set
ting him free, and who actually voted for a Bill
in the Legislature of Ohio, to sell poor w’nitc
men under the sherifl’s hammer, and convey
them over to the purchaser, who were so unfor
nate as not to be able to pay tlieir debts; and
yet, if all that we are told by the w higs be true,
he will be the Presidept of the United States.
The whole number of Electoral votes in the
United States, amount to two hundred and
ninety-four, and one hundred and forty-eight,
constitute a majority. Now if tire States above
enumerated, shall vote for Gen. Harrison as the
Whigs say they will, it will reilure only eight
votes more, to give liim the majority, and the
vote of Georgia, thrown into the scale, will set
tle the question. ,
"Will the votes of Georgia., in that state of the
question, be given to Ilarrisop, should tfio
Whits ticket be elected? We take it for granted
! they will, because sonic of their leading presses
' have already taken that ground openly and
boldly, and many members of their parly ex
press the same sentiment. They say distinctly
and unequivocally, “ANY BODY BUT SAN
BUREN,” and among that “any body,” Har
rison must be included.
L NION MEN OF GEORGIA ! you who
have entertained honest prejudices against Mr-
Van Buren—we beg you to pause? To look
well into this matter, and satisfy
before you vote, thal you arc not supporting
the name of \\ HITE, lor the benefit oi HAR

events.
As our statements in relation to Virginia, may
be questioned by those who are most interested:
in keeping up the White delusion in Georgia,,
we give the following editorial from a Virginia
paper, the Staunton Spectator, that “/ie who
runs may read.”
Every falshood uttered against the illutrious
Harrison, and every attempt made to impair the
confidence of the people in him, but serves to
show his character in sonic new and attractive
light. As friends of the old and well known patri
ot, we have ceased to regret the virulent attacks
which are made upon him since they lead to
developments so highly beneficial. The fact is
his best friends would not have known half his
niirits had it not been for these attacks. They
have elicited the truth in relation to his private
character and public life in very many inter
esting particulars—while in nothing have they
been successful in fixing a stigma on his fair
fame.
THIS IS TIIE QUESTION;
Van Buren or Harrison.
If HARRISON gets the 140 votes which the
wliigs claim for him, will Georgia turn the scale
in his favor, if the White Electoral ticket suc
ceeds? We believe she will.
This is an awful state of things, but the peo
ple will look into it before the FIRST MON
DAY FN NOVEMBER.
FOR TIJE STANDARD OF UNION.
Mr. Editor:— Actuated from motives of in
tegrity—from pure, genuine, and disinterested
republican principles, 1 wish to communicate
through the medium of your press, my relin
quishment of my former erroneous doctrines of
Nullification, my recantation of these deleteri
ous political principles, and the causes ( which
influenced me to disclaim the ranks of the Nul
liiiers, and join heart and hand, the original—
the pare, unsullied and honest Union Party. It
may matter not which side an humble individu
al, such as 1 am, may join, but still 1 think, that
in a free government, where there is freedom
of sjxiech, freedom of press, and freedom of
adoring God, in accordance with the solemndic
tates of our conscience, it is only right, that ev
ery person should speak his political sentiments
in its proper season, coolly, deliberately, dis
passionately and disinterestedly; and particu
larly, when his object i' to give his feeble aid
to buoy up one ofthe best governments that ev
er was established in the world.
At the memorable crisis that South Carolina,
sent forth her ordinance, up to the peiiod which
they specified to put it in execution, I happen
ed to be in Charleston, and inhaling an atmos
phere impregnated with the vapors of political
ly corrupt men, my judgment and political in
formation being limited, was polluted with the
contagion and 1 oflered my feeble services to
unite in their hostile display, which would have
involved the country in calamity and distress,
and subverted our honest republic, had not Prov
idence averted the catastrophe. Had it not
been averted by Him, who rules the storm, how
correctly might that ordinance be represented
to be the grave, and not the bridal chamber of
libei ty —to be the tomb in which would be de
posited and accumulated the gloomy victims ol
a revolution, or a civil war. Alas! It should
hate been clothed with the sack-cloth of ashes
and mourning. From 1832, up to the close ot
last year, J adhered to the Nullifying party, but
since that period have used more’mature delib
eration—exercised more reflection, and read
several political works, which have enlightened
my mind, convinced me of my great error, and
I now publicly disclaim the party —abdicate the
doctrines, and will, until a Roman, or an Eng
lish despot—a Nero, or an Oliver Croniwelljpie
sides over us. Under the present flourishing
aspect of the country—under the happy admin
istration of General Jackson, I shall attach my—
sell to the Union Party, whose motto is, “ Uni-,
ted we stand—divided we fall.” O, how I
might exclaim in the language of the Roman
poet, at this fortunate transition from darkness
to light—from error to truth, tempora mutantur
ct nos mutccmur cum Ulis. In the first place,
Mr. C alhoun had suggested the propriety of a.
tarifl; ntroduced a bill in the halls of Congress,
and got it passed for the absolute purpose of’
supporring the government and extricating her
from her heavy pecuniary embarrassments, in
which she had been involved, after protracted
wars ot eight years. It is well known to all,
that not ons; word was mentioned about the ta
rifl being "oppressive, burthensome and irreva
] lent to the Constitution, until Mr. Calhoun was
turned c,ut ofthe office of Vice President. It
: was thr n the clouds condensed, thickened and
. hover'?d over us. Il was then the storm arose,
the thunder rolled, the lightning careered, and
' every thing,as if in one electric shock, or con-.
vt’ isive eruption tended to sink us into instant an
: r.ihilation. It was then represented to be like a
; cancer upon the human system, nibbling &, cor
] roding the vitals of our constitution. It was then
i represented to be equivalent to forty bales out of"
: every hundred bales of cotton, and fifty per
I cent out of other articles. Persons not only
versed in the history of other countries, but
! even the inexperienced and unlettered, wJto.
will divest themselves of prejudice, and exercise
some reflection, could repose no credit in this
most exaggerated statement. We find no such
statement of taxation in Greece, from the days
of Lycurgus, or Solon, to the present Aga of
the country ; no such taxation in Rome, from
Romulus to the present ruler; no such duties
from Alfred the great, of England, to William
IV.—not even by Oliver Cromwell, or the Rus
sian Autocrat. In reading Blackstone’s Com
mentaries, that excellent work of British laws,
we there find a memorandum of the duties im
posed on the different articles; on some, two and
a half per cent; on some, three and three
fourths ; on some, five and five-sixths; and on
some, six and seven-eighths. In fact, if 1 re
. member well, the whole duties on all the arti-’
j des together, would not be equivalent to fifty
: net rent; and yet in this land of liberty,it is men-
