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.

We attended week before iast, ’he peferm- i ance of Master Platt, a young Ventriloquist of) . superior gifts. His c oloquies are generally good, and some of ) a high order, .and most of his imatatious were ex quisite. We entertain no doubt, that ninth proper culti vation, he will shortly arrive at great distinction in his line ' ; His urbane and gentlcmuny deportment have won the esteem of this community, and iecom tnend niin to tha p itrou »ge of the pu >lij 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.

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.* EDITORS CORRESPONDENCE.

One o the mots ex tensive 81 vc ft filers a I one of the most intelligent men living near me, has recently formed the determination to support I Mr. Van Buren. Ami it is remarkable that ma- | ny of the greatest slave holders in the State huvo j all along intended to do so. These facts speak I much. The Nullifiers seem to calculate that many j Union White men will vote with them in the e- ' lection of electors, in addition to those who went ■ with them in the Congressional election. This, I jio say the least, is doubtful. By expressly plac ing the Congressional election <>n the ground <>f I iritileov I an Huren, they carried with them many, if not all of those vho can be influenced by this ! consideration. And many of tfiese may he ! brought back bv the consideration of Van Bu ! hen or Hakiuson. Besides, a small accession of I Union White men may be counterbalanced by a loss of I 'an Ruren State Rights nu n. Several intelligent citizens in the county I live in, who do not ordinarily act with the Union party, will vote for Van Buren. No doubt there are instances in I other counties. There may be many old Troop men who will not forget their love for Van Buren —and his prospects in Georgia appear to me de cidedly better than they were a week or two past- The slavery excitement is already passing a- j way, Tho report of a judicial decision adverse to our interests, in one of the Northern States, : I turns out to be erroneous. Other reports may i prove so. And the lime is probably notdistant when ! we shall look back with surprise and regret, that j our most efficient friend at the North was the oh- j ject of so much vituperation and abuse; that a man so objectional to the abolitionist, should at j the same time have been objectionable to the ' slave-holders ; that, in the face of his repeated ■ disclaimers, and of his memorable vote on the in- I cendiary publication bill, weshould have denotm- ; ced him as an abolitionist, while the abolitionists ] constantly denounced and opposed him, as favor- | ing Southern Slavery. 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!

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.
