fi*oS a tics a !. Front Ihe New York Times. 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 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.” [Boston Statismrtn. i From the Boston Statcstnan'J lth tilt. WELL DOM'. \ ER MONT.—THE RE SULT.

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 ] ders the names of these firm friends of free , dom, equal rights and equal laws, that pos- I ferity may in future ages, revort to them with grateful reinemberance and praise.

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- THE STANDARD OF (INION. der to dirt ct attention hi that direction, so that they might make their escape south ward.

Here it with the lollowt rs, was re ceived by their rail-road cars, and taken to j Heighlstown, nine miles from Princeion. A hearse anti carriages having been previ ously prepared, the remains, with the friends oi the departed, proceeded immediately to Princeton College, w here the body was de posited until the hour of interment should arrive—half’past 3 o’clock. At the appointed hour, the professors, collegians and citizens having assembled, the ceremony comm need by a prayer ad- ] dressed to the Throne of Grace. It wassuc-j ceeded by' a most eloquent, a propriate and judicious sermon, delivered by the President ofthe college ; after which the procession was formed on the College Green, and pro ceeded to the burying ground tinder an escort ofthe military, accompanied by mar tial music. He was interred with the honors! ofwar. The firing over the grave was per formed by a well disciplined infantry' corps, designated as the Mercer Guards. The i professors and students ofthe College and some of the clergy ami citizens, united w ith the relatives and friends of the deceased in the procession. He was buried in the college burying place near the tombs of his ancestors, in his native state, under the superintendence of the fathers of that seat of learning, where the budding of his mighty mind first display ed itse!f-w here it was matured and cultivated and where the foundation was laid for those intellectual endowments w hich he afterwards : I exhibited on the great theatre of life.

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. THE ELECTION. !

Wimberly, composing the Anti Van Buren ! 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 RISON? l! the contest rested between White and Ilar r.Min, we liould n>4 hesitate to give to White* o - mo idccid l I support, but it does not, and wi : not rest beioeon White and any body, for tin: o.'cat struggle on she part of four-fifths ofthe' enemies ol Van Buren, is to elect 11ARRISDN. lluii >;■ or > <:u Buren w ill be tiie President,, and in m > i of the Slates, the contest has set— ted down on the two; then every Union man who loves lim constimtion of his country —the peace and intr. rity of the union—who abhors aboii'ion hi ;»11 its forms, should vote advisedly, upon .he Pi< sident iai election, & give his suffrage to no candidate v> ho is not pledged to vote against HARRISON the ABOLITIONIST, at all. 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-
