I THE UAUsE OF HARD TIMES.
Mucli is said about lhe removal of the
Drposiles, the (lestructiou ol the National
B tuk, anil the retention of the Surplus
Revenue. Yet in t in* humble opinion, all
I these do not at all, account for the distress
ing times. \\ e must look some win re else
for lhe root of the evil. It' we would re
move the dreadful elici ts, «e must find th.;
veritable cause.
The unsparing censures levelled, so fre
quently, against J te'ison and Van Buren
by our Daily Papers, amount to nothing
with thinking investigatini; tnimls. H >w
ever badly -lie latter may manage the af
fairs of the Government, the lornit-r, in his
vitiet able age and retirement, merits the
respect, and not the bitter slander of the na
tion.
: Some of our newspaper editors may Sod
tRe cause of the present distress, at least
partly, in thi inselves. Let them look over
lite fins, for 1335 atfti '3‘J and there read
their wind, deceptive pulls, of holts s and
lands, 8;c. fyc.
I'tiete art tlmtisamls and tens of thou
stuiiio ol L is, and acres ot latttl, measured
: out, posted oil, an I sold to unwary mer
,ch Hit', mi c'tatiles and laboring* m -it for e:to>-
i molts prices, wliib- tin y have not in them
' one cent ol iuirinsic value nor tievtr will
i hate. Y'ery lew of these lots Were sold
without (ir.-t being pufii dto the vtv litmv-
I ens by some newspap r writer. Twen’v
: live, thirty , and even fifty per cent, have f.e
--q tently been paid upon these worthless
purchases, ami uo*.v the original Owners
will not give up the bonds and rtceiie
back the se,f same lands, for what is vet
dtie.
Had New Brigton been the New Jeru
salem, some of our public journals Would
! not have ball so liigluy e-timated it nor
Would they have been hall so sueces ful
in making pia-ssely t< s.
'['lie spirit of the age is MONEY, MON
EY, — give me your MONEY, ami i will
! cry your goods; and < ry GOOD, GOOD,
, should they be ever so wordih-s-. Siiould
I cntisci, tice d..re to beat tne single com
' puticii >ti, it is at once smothered, if not
: aniiiliiliateil.
Who can wonder that pecuniary’ dis
j tress should follow such a state of things.
1 The community , with some exception., be
: came mad in money speculation. Mans
I who were hitherto considered wise and
| h'-nest men, sought to make independent
■ lot tunes in a day, and too many were will
iug to do it at the expense of the poor. In
very many instances, w hole k. parts of farms
were bought up, for one, two and three
hundred dollars an acre, beautifully map
ped out. painted, and sold to lhe mechanic
i and laborer, at att advance of ten or fifteen
I littndied percent. Every cent of their hard
. earnings, by chicanery and puffing, w, r<-
extorted from these pour mtn and their fami-
I lies.
I Now, the same lands, could the fences
;be returned, ami the sod replaced, might
j bring fifty <>r a hundred dollars per acre.
! and not more.
YVe deeply lament that many professing
I < hristians, were I Hind engaged in this un
righteous calling ; and more sadlv do we
i lament, that tn my ol our respectable cler
gy stained thi-ir hands and their garments
, in tills work of deception and riiin.
'File w lioleeominuiiity became iiifatualed;
agricultnr was thrown up, and ordi arv
: honest occupations abaud- tied. Many
! cursed imm -diate em incip ition, and grasp
ed after immediate opulence.
Some of our brethen n have been sadly i
duped, and their hard earnings for years
swindled from them. They have nothing
left but a worthless peice of land, on some
bleak 101 l or sterile valley, where even tin
tax gatherer will never notice it.
BreihiTn, il you w mid ne independent
and happy, follow God’s direction,, to'
the country, and there, in the sweat of tbv
brow, “ thou shall till the earth” and be
happy.
YVe warn yon against such impn.ters.
Wealth is not to he acquired in a day ; ami
happy fitr tu that it i, not ; for were it, its
possession would be instead, of a

Mr. ( lay, it will b remembered, at the

party i\ie scrtfimenlai portion ofthe feast.
'Fite reason will be seen in the following,
from the Kentucky Observer and Reporter
ol the Sill J I'll .
“The Pre* to :ncy.—We are sorry to ■
perceive that tl.e wings of New Y'ork are!
agit iting, at this time, the question of the !
next Presidency. From the spirit which!
is evinced bv some ofthe papers, it serins
that we are likely to have as animated 0 can- :
vass to determine trho shall be our candid- |
ate as we shall ulliiitalcly have to elec.t \
him. Some of litem eten tiow begin to d<- ;
preciate the claims ol < very other prominent '
whig, stive him upon wboin they fix their j
affi 1 lions. Tlte sttme stupid game is about j
to he played over again, which was plated :
in the I ist Pre,: l-’ini >1 election. S >me of' ;
out* own political friends went so far in
ridiculing tlte pretentious of General Har-
; ris-m, that wiien lie was at Inst tlte '
S'drctfil candidate ofthe whigs, they found'
. I lu’niselves in a most riwkitrd p-edu ament. 1
Titeir own gibes and sn. ers were cast up to !
| them by their opponents, am! they weie;
. compelled either to v ole for V-in B treii or !
, maintain a dignified neutrality,
I “ Tims will ii ever be, w hen men are '

elevation of a mail, than to vitlicate a great
caii,e. YY e hiveOlD* choice, and il is one i
jof w hich we are proud. YVe were for Gem I
! Harrison at tne last election. He was lhen \

j distinctly *, >y to the w higs of New York,'
that in making araugemeiits for theselec-i

which has came upon the. country ran be'

frol the next Presid> ntial election, WE
doubt it. The man who is selected must
be aide to command strength, independent
of that question. He must be able to
point to a long life of service, of pat

FOR THE STANDARD OF UNION.
TO THE UNION PAR TY OF GEOR
GIA.
The prudent mariner, when the ocean is
troubled and storms are gathering around
him, redoubles his vigilance that he max
iirotect his bark from impending ruin.
Like him, the patriot, in times of political
dissension and turmoil, with renewed dili
gence, guards the vessel of State, examines
her course, and controls her movements.
Hitherto the Union Party of this State,
conscious of the correctnes* of their prin
ciples, and the beneficial effects resulting
from their operations, have ptirsiied the even
tenor of their way, regardless of the obsta
cles that have been thrown in their path,
and the calumnies and reproaches that hive
been heaped upon them. Under their
auspices, the State has prospered, and witli
unprecedented rapidity has increased it>
wealth, p'tptilation and intelligence. A
crisis, however, has arrived—one pregnant
with ex il, one which demands that every
friend of the Union should be at iiis post,
and act with his characteristic Seal and en
ergy. Our party ami otir principles are in
danger of subversion, not indeed from the
force of argument that has been brought
o bear against them, but from the artifices
and atagems of those who have ever op
posed them.
In the religious world, it is ihe tact of
the hypocrite, and his most successful expv
<ii*. tit, to deal liberally in scriptural phrase
ology, that he may blind those whom he
would delude, jt is the artifice of our ou
pmtf nts ostensibly to adopt the principles <if
'•nr party, to keep in. tin- back grouil I titeir
lavorite docti itte of Nullification, and to
proclaim an abandonment of former di
fmiTions, that they may entrap those whom
they would xvi>h to follow them. The hi»-
tory of the tergiversations of the Nnlltfiers
in litis State, while it is calculated to
amuse, tlemoustrably proves that they have,
at least, some ofthe talent which they have
arrogated to themselves, and as Hearlx'
slulws that they have no claim to that can
dor and pol.tical integrity whichever char
act rizes men in the p’lirsuits of honorable
■nd', by honorable me ins. At titeir first
orgaidzation they honestly avowed their
principles, and npeitlx’ ami boldly’ unfurled
the bamier of Nullification.
Under ibis, tli.-y valiantly contended and
were signally defeated. To aetjuire new
strength, they permitted their vaunted en
sign to be trailed in the dust; nud in its
stead they hoisted another, bearing upon
it. fohl-, to the astonishment of their oppo
nents here, and to the ntorti.icat ion oft >en*
more cltivalric allies in South C iroliua, the
motto <if ‘* State [tights,” si motto borrow
ed from thiise against whom they* Bore it.
Under this, the Nullifiers, without an appa
rent blush, or cousi'umsijs’ss of dissimula
tion, or pa-! defeat, came forth to another
conflict. The pretext, gossamer-like wa*
seen through : the people xvere not de
ceived. Again; they xvere defeated;
Fruitful in expedients, they are now* ral

Mr. Van Buren.—of that distinguished
Statesman, who, side bv side with Craw
ford and Troup of Georgia, and Smith
and M icon of the Carolina’s, with a zeal
and ability equal to either, has spent a long
and eventful life in battling for the rightsol
tlte States, the identical doctrines bx' Which
they n-iw profess to lie governed ; xet upon
this standard so prom I lx*, confidently ami
boldly unfurled, Anti-Van Biireiiisip is em
blazoned in large arid glowing characters.
And what is Anti-Y r an Burenism ?in -llipir
estimation, it is Nullification, YVhigw.rq
any thing and everything, xxlich will etra
ble them by the force of numbers, to raisß
from tin dust, the standard of Nullification,
which is now indignantly trampled ttpm>
alike by friend and foe, that it may b<
waved triumphantlx over the Stitjjt, am
th.it site, under their auspices, may he pla
ced in att attitude for some future confltm
with the Federal Government.
VVhetl such is the character of otir op
poimnts, such the devices to which thex
will resort, such theflcijity xvith which litex
can abandon and nsstinie political doctrine

minor considerations, to guard the aventtes i
through which <lang"r max* approach, and ,
sound the alarm, while it is yet at a dis
tance ? O.tr party was organized for a
noble oljuct—to preserve the Union, to I
counteract and defeat the si hemes of those
who, whatever were their designs, were
pur.'tting a course directly calculated to ■
rend it asunder. Our principles were those !
inherited irom our fathers. Our motives ,
were pure and holy. When rebelling
against the constituted aiithorilii s of the
Government was leg dized in an a ijoiifinv
State, we stood shoulder to shoulder, imd
were prepared to ofl. r ourselves a xviil tig
'ticrifice upon the altar of our coimt- x’.*
liberty.
Our firmness and determination tii’>n,
aided by the proscribed but gallant frii-nd'
of the Union in that State, arrested
the march ol Nullification. Tlte xvriterof
this article was hirn'elf in Carolina, whet
’ lie resolutions of the Georgia [j>'gi'iatiii<
<>• Dec. 1832, tlenoimciug Nitllilii atioi i
arrived there. The Union convention and
the Sial" LegixJ.tture xvere then in session.
One body th. **’ inspired with confidence
and hope, to the other they bronght fem* and
dismay. ’Till that day the Nullifiers ita.i
confidently’ relied upon ti.e s'snpoi't nf Geor
gia. Backed by her and the R'ttii inated
airl of Gov. Floyd of Virginia, there >i no
reason to doubt they would have attempted
the execution of their plans. Unstiuportet! !
lay her, they knew that defeat was cer
tain.
Hence it was. th j y were compelled to
accede to the compromise, galling nud
htimbliug as it was, tendered by Mr. Clav
—a compromise at war xvitlt their previim-,
most solemnly’ expressed declarations, and
one w hich every candid and unprejudiced
member of that party must acknowledge
was a most inglorious defeat, ft is not
therefore too much to say that the Union
Party of Georgia saved the effusion ol
blood, pfetented a civil war, the horrors of
which no tongue can tell or pen portrix ;
that they preserved inviolate, the Coii-titu
tion ami Unton of our fathers. Shall w<
tlieii, satisfied w ith the past, when the same
principles are maiiit.itned. though not open
ly avowed, wdien the Same opponents are in
the field, idly fold our arms, and be lulled
into inactivity and secmitv by the Svrett
song of peate ! peace! ! Let us calmh
examine tlte ground on xvhiidt we stand, the
principles xve profess, the dangers tis.it en
viron us, the prospect before us.
The first question which the present
stateol things forces tipon our consideratioti,
is, is Nullification the unconstitutional and
dangerous docltiite we have hitherto con
sidered it ? A very brief answer to this
interrogatory must suffu e. The doctrine
is based on the alledged sovereignty ofthe
States. Its advocates contend that when
they entered into the compact, formed the
Constitution of the United States, that
they divested tliem-elxes of no portion of
I their sovereignty; that by virtue of it, tltex
have the right to sit in judgment upon the
acts Os the Federal Government, and that
w hen they deem an act of Congress a vio
lation of the Constitution, th v have a right
to arrest its operation w ithin their respec
tive limits. Let ns look into thb Cutistitu*
tion. There we find that tiie States have
conceded a great >.ariety of powers to lite
General Governin' nt ; such, for instance,
as tlte right to declare war, lay taxes, coin
money, &,<•. the wry insignia of sovereignty.
They llaxe solemnly agreed that these
powers shall riot be exercised by themselves.
If, therefore the Status have divested them
selves ol a portio.: oftheir rights ; if’ they
cannot da al! that sovereign Stales can do,
are ilicy sovereign ? But the absurdity of
this claim of sovereignty on tlte part of the
States tuny be exposed slid more co chi
sively. This position can be uifdt tiialdx’
deii|<iit.'tri:ted ; that the Stales cannot con
trol ihyir own State Constitutions: in other
worths, that tlte Federal G >vt rniiii nt may
change their Constitutions against titeir ext n
will.
For example—Georgia, when site etit'r
ed into the Utti--n, agreed that “ the Con
stitution of the Unit 'd Stat *S should !;•• the
Supreme law of the L md”—“ the Consti
tution nr law s of any State lodic voUtrat »
notwithstanding.’ 1 They also agreed that
that instrument “ might be alteret! nr amen
ded. by the votes of three-fimeths of the
States. N.'W suppose an amrn lmeiit lie
ratified by three fourths of the Stat.es, and
'itch an amendment as will cimllict with
some article <>fher non (hmstitution. Eve
ry one of her littieus max' be oppiv.- d t.» it :
yet it has, by the agreeinejtt tis Georgi t
become a part of tin- C.mstituijiiii of the
Union, -iti I by t ie same agreement she is
> Hind to recognize it as the ‘‘Supreme L:nv
•I the Land,” her uxvit “ CouSiitv.tion, to
the contrary notwithstanding.
I hat the States are sovereign, (if t'teex
're-sion can Be allowed.) over their reser
ved righty nay, more, that upon the main
tenance of them by the States, depends the
preservation of the Utiiori, are positions
t hat can not be denied. But where is that
sovereignty xVliich gives the rizhl to Nulli
ty, to arrest the wheels of Government at
he whim or caprice of any State? It
Joes not exist. It eanmit l>e f onud in the
Fjonsii’ttti.m, nor does it grow out of it.'

that we nave t» t) smt-ter designs., we have

more titan auv thing else to be deplored is
the fact that Nallifii ation has taught the

and to some extent caused them to cease,

The next question tthich suggig-isJtsetT
is, are otir opponents the advocates of this

It has so often been sounded in our esr*,
that Nuliifiention is exploded, that, charity
