The Wigwam is evidently troubled, and ■
when the pinch comes, we think there are ma- ■'
ny reflecting and considerate men, who will 1
break the shackles of party discipline, and stand
» out in the open field of self-control.—W e be- ,
lieve there are many, very many, who have act- i
ed and voted with the nullitiers for several i
years past, who will not be instrumental in
placing the presidential election upon a hatr.ard
which may result in the overthrow of the union.
They will not assist in defeating an election by
the people and placing it in the hands of Con
gress, where bargain, intrigue and management
will set the voice of the people at defiance, and ■
where, if Van Buren is defeated, Harrison will!
be elected. • 1 1
It cannot be concealed, that Judge White is <
given up, even by his real friends. Two dis
tinguished members of Congress in Tennessee,
Messsrs. Forrester and Blain, and who were ):
among the most active in bringing him out, have 1
both publicly declared that he stands no chance
to be elected. They see and know that he has i
been deluded and deceived, —and, will intelli- j.
gent men ofany party in Georgia, still cling to i
the skirts of a drowning man, when the conse- I
quence may be their own destruction.
It is time we should think as men, and states
men, and not as partiz.ans. Party feelings and J
party prod dictions, should have no influence in I
deciding a question of such vast magnitude.l ,
Every man who votes for a President, should i {
remember that he holds a direct interest in the."

JUDGE WHITE AND THE CHEROKEES. 1
M e recommend to the serious consideration
ofcvey volet in Georgia, the following article
from the Miner’s Recorder.
It displays Judge White in his true colors,
on the subject o the Cherokees, and proves I
beyond all controversy, that he has been the
uniform advocate of the claims set up by that
tribeagaint the sovereign rights of our State, )
and the interests of her people ; and had the
opinions of Judge White been sustained by the ,
authorities of the federal government, the
means only by which we coi.ld have occupied
the territory, would h ive been the musket and
bayonet, and that too, in the face of the United
States army. But fortunately for us,the opin
ion of Judge White was ovcnuled, and so soon
as General Jackson was elected, he recognized
tho right of Georgia to occupy her own soil, and
to give law to all classes of people within her
jurisdictional limits.
The opinion of Judge White, claiming the
right as the Cherokees to maintain a separate
and independent government in the heart of
Georgia, was delivered about, the time that the
difficulties with the general government concern
ing the treaty with the Creeks commenced,
which produced the memorable collision between
Governor Troup ami John Q. Adams, edit was j
jpart and parcel of the plans and measures of that
,4Hlmini>tration, to deprive Georgia of her rights.
With tf;ese facts before their eyes, will men )
professing to advocate the doctrine of State J
Rights, vote for Hugh. L. White I Will they
vote for any pian so lost to the principles of
state sovereignty, ps to permit a horde of bar
barians to set up un imlr-pc ndt tis government
within the sovereign jurisdiction of a state?
Ihe opinion of Judge White, to which the
following article alludes, apj from which,
jCopjous extracts are made, is now before IJS,
and it fully sustains the right of the Cherokees
maintain a nafional government upon our soil,
#nd fully recognizes them as an independent
pation. It is to | J( . Gauii'J j n (| K . third volume
pf State Papeiif, printed by the authority t/
Lopgress— Page 2, of Document No. 121, to
which any gentleman may have reference, who
pntertaius the least doubt upon the subject.
for ourselves, we entertain too high a vener
ation for St tn Rights, to support any man
Jor any office, who would permit the Indians
pr any other people to establish an independent
government upon cur soil,audit
I knowledge tin t the opinions advance <! by Judg#
i W bite upon th.it subject, were gaining ground
i with men of influence gin various quarters, and
1 had been openly avowed by Mr. ('lay and ma-
I nv loading men opposed to tho course of Gcn’l.
Jackson's administration, that we proposed ill
the Legislature ot 1829, the immediate survey
and occupancy of die Cherokee territory, und that
urged us on in untiring exertions until that ob
ject was accomplished.
Who opposed us in that measure > most of
those who are now in the front ranks of nullifi
cation, and who are decided advocates of Judge
W bite; and yet, they profess to he the exclu
sive guardians of State Rights,
People of Georgia ! you have a deep inter
! est at stake.— By voting tor White, who holds
doctrines so adverse to your own, you may in
! llict a calamity upon yourselves o. greater mag
nitude than you now imagine. W e should con
) sider the election of Judge White a national .ca
lamity in the most favorable aspect of the sub
' ject ; but in voting for him, you will promote
the interest of another, far more objectionable.
Judge White cannot be elected.— I'iie whigs
! never expected nor intended to elect him.—
Harrison is their man, and, every vote given to
White, but strengthens his cause.
From Minor's Recorder. |
JUDGE WHIEE ANDTHE CHEROKEES, |
I We ask the People of the Cherokee Comity as )
w ell as those ow ning lauded property m it. to
[ look upon perverse and obstinate course John
I Russ has persisted in, apparently again.t light
; and knowledge for a few years back in relation to
i our Cherokee difficulties. The excuse rendered
; by him at a meeting of bis people lor rejecting the
liberal offer of the Government. To wit; "that
he w ished to go to Washington th s w inter tor
the purpose of having some of the details of the
treaty altered or amended, and then lie would ac
cept the treaty and remove to the west.” And
then we ask them to examine carefully and par
tially, the following details of Judge White s o
pinions with regaid to the sovereignty and ex
elusive right of the Cherokee people over that por
tion of the country claimed by tnem, within th
jurisdictional limits of Georgia. And then again
we ask them, if it is not clear, to the perception of
the most understanding, that Ross is determined
to stand out. uo matter what the consequences
may be until a new President is elected, whose
views and opinions may be favorable to the Cher
okee claims- Who would Ross prefer foi Presi
dent among the candidates now before the peo
ple ? Judge White, most assuredly. Why? Be
cause his feelings and opinions accord with his;
and because those who voted against tho treafy,
the most of them at least, now the warm support
ers of Judge White. Who voted against the rat
ification of the treaty ? The Journals of the Se
; nats ofthe United States says—JllN C. CAL
HOUN, of South Carolina, CLAY of Kentucky,
I Crittenden of do. Clayton of Delaw are, Nauden i
of do. Davis of Mass. Webster of do , Ewing of
Ohio, Leigh of Va. Porter of La. Prentiss of Vt j
i Swift ofdo. Robers of R. I. Southard of N.J. and j
j Tomlinson of Conn. Every Van Buren man in ;
the Senate voted for tho ratificatien. Under i
I these circumstances Ross’ hopes and prospects, !
i of reclaiming his country an.l sitting within the I
. limits of Georgia, a sovereign independent Gov- '
I ernmeut, grows brighter and brighter as White’s
j prospects tor the Presidency advances. He seas !
White's friends voting agamst the treaty, and i
1 knows his opinions are m his favor, and there
. fore it is, that he wishes to go to Washington this
winter for the purpose of affecting an alteration in
: some of the details of the treaty.
People of the Cherokee country I Are you will
ing that your Cherokee difficulties shall yet har
; rass and perplex you for perhaps another tour or
eightyears ! Then elect Judge White your Presi
| dent, and you will at least have a fair chance foi
it. Are you ready and willing to be driven per
' haps at the point of the bayonet, from your homes
ito seek refuge in another country ! Then elect
Judge White, and yon will stand a fair chance for
; it. For if he is favorable to Ross’ claim and if
I elected, it may yet be sustained and of course you
I must leave the couutry wright or w rong. But if
: you are as we are persuaded you are, disposed to
; avert from your calamity so dangerous, elect Mar- i
.. tin Van Buren who has aided General Jackson
j in all his measures to rid our country of this troub
lesome population, and who is pledged to carry
i out his Indian policy thus began.
But the Judge at last reached the crisis of a Pres
i idenlial nomination; and after this, in an elec
tioneering letter, desiuated to secure bis return to
i the senate, and to aid the Presidential prospects,
he reversed all his theory and practice of ten
[years, and asserted that "Georgia was complete
ly sovereign and independent w ithin her acknowl
edged limits.” Thai “she had never granted the
power of the Federal Government, by the treaty
jor otherwise, to dispose o> her territory.” And
in this way he at once retraced ail that he
' had said about the independent nation of tho
I Cherokees, ami denied the validity of the treaty,
in virtue of which he before had solemnly deefar
•ed they were “a nation possessing all the powers
of other independent nations.*

much.
The Nullifiers seem to calculate that many j

LACON,
October, 22d 1836.
FOR THE STANDARD OF UNION,
THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.
Mr. Editor :
The elections which have just ter
minated, has been bailed by the nullifiers, <
as an earnest of the sure defeat of the union j
electoral ticket of this State, on the first I
Monday in November next. They cry '
out victory, victory, as though they bad I
already gained the day,—But let them not
deceive themselves, and let the people be
not deceived by them ; the nullifiers have
lost considerably in their strength, even
with the help of the Union White men :
they have not come tip to their numbers at
the late election; do they expeet to hold
on to the Union While men longer than the
Presidential struggle is over? If so, they
deceive themselves, we know they will make
every effort to do so, and, a few ambitious
aspirants may be lead on with them, by I
fair promises and tickling gab; but they'
will be few. I
But what good grounds have the nulli
fiers, to calculate qn the sure defeat of the
union electoral ticket? They have alrea
dy done their utmost, with the expectation
tiiat the election of President would devolve
on Congress, our representatives were cha
tekised by them, as to their course, should
such an event transpire, and the election
for members of Congress, which has just
terminated, was made to turnon that ques
tion, and thus, with the help of the whole
li late forces, they have been “ triumphant- 1
(j/” defeated, and yet, they cry out victory!
and hail the cause of nullification as gainiiiif
ground.
But how stands the presidential question
in Georgia at this time .- Will the contest
be between Van Buren and White? Who
can answer this question with his uplifted i
hand and say yea ? not one nullifier! they
well understand the game they are playing!
hence, they continue to cry aloud for White,
but the writer of this article has often heard
jt proclaimed within the last two weeks, bv
influential nullifiers, that t ey preferred i
HARRISON, and would support him in
preference to Van Buren, yes, the avowed
abolitionist, illiarn 11. Harrison, who
would tax Ute people of the south, to raise
money to purchase their own slaves, and
who would sell a poor white man who was
in debt, for the purpose ofpaying his debts,
IS TO RECEIVE THE VOTE OF
GEORGIA, for President of the United
States ! ! We believe that most of the
i union White men are honest in their sup
; port of Judge W bite: and strongly opposed
to Mr. Van Bun n as they are, we do not
believe they would give their support to the
abolitionist, Harrison in preference; nor
’do we believe they would longer persist in
! their support of Judge White, if they believ
j ed that that support would tend only to
: advance the prospects of Harrisou; yet
[ such is now actually the position of the
j Presidential question, the struggle will he
between Van Buren and Harrison, there
can be no doubt of this.—and, all the sup
port that is now given to Judge White is
just so much in favor of Harrison— let the
Union White men of Georgia look to this
fact—let them mark the signs that daily
occur around them, and they may plainly
i see the* cunning designs of the nullifiers.
will they stiffer theinseves longer deceived?
' We believe that those of them who act
j from pure motives will draw a halt, and
I proclaim to the nullifiers in language not
jto be mistaken, I see your designs, I
no further, you are governed hv no settled
j principles, your object is to divide and des
troy, no matter by what means this object
is accomplished; we started m:t in the
! support of Judge White, w e were honest in
| our purposes, but you, finding Judge White
j to be weak, you are deserting him and giv
: ing your support to a man w ith whom, we
| cannot fee] a willingnes to trust the institu
tions of our country —here we split, go on
y ottr way, and, let us remain in peace,
with an honest conviction, that we have de
sired nothing hut our country’s best inter
est.—Such will be the language of ail the
patriotic White union men, they will not be
lll<: s "PP ort ”f such n man as
William 11. Harrison for President of’thcse
United States.
But William 11. Harrison is not only an
abolitionist of the most dangerous cast, but
he is a federalist of the deepest die, entirelv
oppposed to sontlieni principles and south
ern interest no republican, m> patriot, no
SOU! HERN MAN, can honestly sup
port him. What then shall be done at so
important a crisis ? Judge White’s pros
pects are hopele-s, and in lite present situ-
TIIK STANI) AII i> 0i ? ii N1 ON.
iition of the Presidential question, all the!
support that is given him, will be as so '
I much given to liarsisott, ami will, in all
1 probability, ensure bis election. Union ■
j Wbite men, we appeal to yon from the lion-I
esty of cur hearts, you alcalde to avert
I this deplorable result,an awful|;espotisibiliiy '
rests upon you, by your country’s glorv !

AN HONEST DEMOCRAT. |
TO THE WHITE I MON MEN OF .
GEORGIA.
I write to draw your attention to your real si- !
tuadon : you are about to iusuuinental m lhe !
■ hands ol a set of managing men, to inflict on !
: (as f.ir as in your power) your state, and the !
I whole south an incalculable injury, The Con-!
volition of Nullifiers who met Inst spring at Mil- 1
> leugeville, to nominate an Anti- V au Buren ticket, I
, knew they could not sticcefd without they could i
I get the a ..istaiice of some part of the Union party j
in Georgia. They, therefore, selected sucfi men!
of that party as have been dissatisfied, or had such I
an inveterate hatred against \ ai) Buren, tl at they '
j wire not likely to go witii their party in his favor. !
; Having done this they are confident of success.
I That convention, although it chose men who were ,
I called Union men, who had been old black men,;
i kept tite majority in their own hands. The Con- 1
| venlion being composed almost entirely of Null!- !
■ tiers, it is supposed, formed this determination, i
! that if they succeeded in electiug their ticket, it'
! should vote for the candidate which stood the best
j possible cliauce to beat Van Buren. They knew
I lull well, that lhe men they desired to gull, could
, not lie taken in if they' ctmie out openly and
said their jicket must vote for Gen. Harrison or I
■ Mr. Webster. But some oilier name must be
made use of to hold them on, while they could ar
range the matter with their own party and the
persons to be mu belonging to the Union party,
were to be held on to their ticket by the ostensi
ble promise, that, if elected, they would vote for i
Judge W hite of Tennessee. And such has bppn
the idea field out, although there was not names I
enough held up foi the Electoral votes in the dis- I
fcrent states, jt ail were elected,j)to elect him Pre- j
stdent, This caused some to doubt whether his
election was ever intended, and the W hite electors
have been called upon by some of the citizens, to
answer certain questions. In the mean time,
many more began to be anxious to know wiiat
course they would pursue. 1 attended tile Supe
rior Court in this county, I had written hist sum
mer to Col. Gibson Clark, one of the electors, on
that subject, and lie bad nut answered my letter. ;
He was at Court, and sought ail interview with j
me; we walked into the Court-House after sup- ■
per, on Tuesday night, the second day of court, i
and a conversation ensued, lie apologized for
not answering my letter by saying, he hoped to
have met with me sooner; but, in answer to that '
pait of my letter about the Presidential matter,
lie stated lie had allowed his mime to be used as ;
an Anti-Van Buren elector, for he could never -
reconcile it to himself to support a man who had ! .
been so versatile as \ an Buren had. that he had I
been for and against every great and prominent!
men, and all prominent measures. He went on ;
with the objections generally urged against him i
by his opponents, not giving me lime nor oppor- | (
tunity to reply, nor to urge any thing in his f'avpr; I ‘
but, in an interval after, having made vaiicq.s at- i ‘
tempts before to get' a chance to speak; 1 said, I •
“ stop, Col., do you and your ticket expeet to gel
selcted?” He answered,“wedo.” “ifyou do,when
you meet at Milledgeville to cast your votes,
should you find Judge W hite’s chance of success
altogether out of the question, will you cast your
vote foranother.” He answered promptly,“l will.” '
I asked him, “do you think the gentlemen asso- 1
(dated with you. or vvhat is called the White elec
toral ticket, will vote as you avow you yourself '
will.” He answered, "assuredly.” 1 said to him,
“you arc deceiving the public—yon are not acting
honorably with a portion of tl>3 men whose votes
you calculate on to elect you.” He answered, •‘sir,
you have not certainly read my answer of accep
tance, for in that 1 avow myself Anti-Van Bu
ren. Should Judge White stand a chance of be
ing elected, the electoral ticket io which I belong
will assuredly vote for liiin. But if we perceive
be stands no chance, we will cast our votes for the
man who will be most likely to succeed over Mr.
van Buren. - ’ 1 said, "youcertainly will not vote
lor General Harrison ! ’ •-Yes, if he bethat
man.” •■For'that great qualities do you prefer
| the General ?” His answer was, •• he is a mili
tary man, ami an honest man.” “ And you will
take him, with all his notions adverse to lhe
Bouth, in preference to Mr. Van I’ureu’” • Yes.
1 will, for 1 believe he is what lie professes to be ;
and Mr. Van Buren, I think, hi disguise worse
than any one else.” “Well,” si.ys I, "if Mr.
' W elistcr should lie found to be the available matt,
I would you take him.” He answered, “ I would,
I lor lie is an honest man, and is what ho pretends
to be; and 1 do not believe that of .Mr. Van Bu
ren. f would take any of them before him.”
trays I, “ with all the odium heaped mi him as a
Biue-Liglit. Fisleralist. Hartford Convention,
Bank Mau.Tariflile, and all tho other things alled
ged against him,you would take him.” “1 would,”
he said. I said, “ ami those who arc with you
on the electoral ticket would do so too? - ’ “Lht
doubtedly,” he answered, and then added, “ if
White can succeed, of course we prefer him ; but
jf lie cannot, we will take whoever we think can,
1 lie convention which nominated us was avowed
ly Anti-Van Buren, and we will aet up to that
principle.” A great deal more was said, but this 1
was the stun and substance. And now,Union White
men, it you can go to the polls on the first Monday
■ m November, and give your votes foi a ticket
I which wdl cast the electoral vote of Georgia, if
| elected, diametrically opposite to your views, 1
I must confess lam deceived in you. You profess
I that V an Buren is your second choice, and when
y ou see you cannot get your first choice, why not
I take the second ? Let me urge you not to assist
to inflict this suicidal wound on the South—look j
before you leap—one false step and you are ruin- I
etl.and assist to bring down ruin on your favorite j
institutions.

It is with feelings of melancholy regret that the )
jncml.. rs of the Bar have learmd the mownlul i

Lis course so suddenly arrested, has been one of
extensive useliiluess ami distinction—llisconuec- j
lion with us, characterised by bis deportment, so
'unions as a man ami his acquirements so pro
lotmd as a jurist has not failed to endear him to
us hy indissoluble lies as well as to orna
ment the profession. Ills professional intercourse
was ever marked with ail those ticnorable prin
ciples calculated to elevate the dignity and char
acter of the piotgssion; w hile his habits of devo
tion ami study evinped the high and laudable and
just ambition of one who h as truly one of the most
worthy members.
In the death of one who justly claimed the
proud distinction ol an honest man, our brother
hood has lost one of its brightest slurs—one of
its most valuable members. But it is not cur lot
tocomplain or murmur over lhedeerce of Heaven, j
Our brother is gone, mid the Inst tribute of res
pect which we can pay to his memory, is the ex
pression of those mournful feelings which hung
around it. In view therefore of the. said event
which has happened and in testimony of the ven
eration in which we held the memory of our de
ceased brother Charles P. Gordon.
Resolved Unanimously, That the members of
this Bar will wear crape for the space of thirty
days.
Resolved. That we deeply sympathise with the
family of our deceased brother, in the aiihetive
dispensation of Providence which hus befallen
them.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing pream
ble and resolutions he forwarded to the family of
the deceased, mid that they bo published in the
Publie Gazetts of Milledgeville.
Resolved. FThat in further testimony es the. res
pect which we feel towards our deceased brother
Charles I*. Gordon, that His Honor Judge Pol
hill be requested to have the foregoing preamble
and resolutions entered upon the minutes of the
Superior Court of Jones county.
