CHANGE OF DIRECTION.
We desire such of our subscribers as may at
any time wish lit'' direction of their papers chan
ged from one Post Office to another, to inform
<w, in all cases, of the place to which they had
been previously sent; as the mere order to for- >
ward them to a different office, places it almost j
outof our power, to comply,because we have no
means of ascertaining the office from which they
aro ordered to be changed, but a search through ,
aur whole subscription Book, containing Severn
thousand names.
POSTAGE.
It is a standing rule with this office, as wel
as all others, that the postage of all letters and
communications to toe Editor or Proprietor .
must bo paid. We repeat it again,—and re- ,
quest all persons having occasion to addresses
upon business connected in any way with th
establishment, to bear it in mind. Persons
wishing to become subscribers to the Standard
of Union, are particularly requested to give thei
attention to this; or they will not have the pa
per forwarded to them.
TO ADVERTISERS ABROAD.
Persons, at a distance, who arc desirous
of giving their advertisements an extensive
circulation, are respectfully informed that
the standard of union presents the
means of spreading them before a larger
number of readers than any paper in Geor
gia, or perhaps in the Southern country,
with but a single exception. There is not
a State or Territory in the Union, t<» which
it has not found its way ; and scarcely.a
Post Office in this State where it is not ta- !

MAJOR. NELSON’S BAT r l ALION.
VVe have been furnished with the follow
ing correspondence mid doenntent, with a
request for their publicatior, in order to
correct any erioneons impression which i
may have been made upon the public mind, i
by an i-ditorial article in a late number of:
the Southern Whig. In complying with j
this request, we cannot but express out I
gratification at the readiness with which the
editor of the Whig promises to make an
ample explanation and correction of hi
charges, although it seems to us that he
should have been better informed before he
ventured to place them before his readers
as facts to be relied upon. We have, how
ever, heretofore notietd the errors of that
article, and any further comment on our
part may be unnecessary.
The mild, yet manly tone in wltic'i Maj.
Nelson’s letter is written, will be commended
by all parties, and his explanations will he
perfectly satisfactory to every one. The ;
high compliment to the patrirrtism and gal
lantly of the troops under his comma al,
contained itt the documents annexed will
also he gratifying to every Georgian, Are
such troops thp men to be used for the dis
graceful purpose of browbeating free citi
zens a-d regulating elections ? We should
tliink not.—The imputation will be repel
led with the indignation it deserves.
Camp Call, Quarters Georgia Battalion, ?
September 11, 1837. S
Editor Southern Whig:
Sir—l hail hoped that subsequent enqui- ;
ry Would have relieved my command, from
the suspicion which your editorial remarks
in the Whig, on the 26th August, are cal
culated to produce.
I had th-refore, delayed this notice unlit
after two other numbe rs were published bo
ping that a notice on my part would be
unnecessary—being disappointed, 1 have
to ask of yon most respectfully, to submit
the following documents and facts,
through the channel of your press to the
public.
The Bat talion that I have the honor ol i
commanding, was mustered on lite 20th
November 1836 into the service of the U.
Stales for twelve months, unless sooner dis
charged.—At the time <>f the muster,- we
had orders from Major Gen. Jesup, t pro
ceed to Florida, which order was promptly
complied with. The accompanying orders
tmmbered from one to five, will explain
why we returned to Georgia before the
twelve months expired.
Iu selecting 11 all County for rny Camp,
I w s influenced by'the prospects of Itt ahh,
and-tipple of s-b-i'tenct* til fnage, tit
less t ost t-> the government than any other
conveiiiei t part. ( tilich my orders required)
offered, and I am proud to have it in rny
powet to inform you, that from citizens of
all parties, we received a hearty welcome.
It is true that the discharge which « e all
desire as much as you can, has from cir
cumstances w hich we could not control, been
delayed longer (han we expected.
But I hope you are*too well informed, if
all your readers are not, to suppose that thi
fault is one of Governor Schley’s ormyself,
for he could just as well discharge Gen. Je
sup and the whole Southern Army, as he
could my Battalion.
And he, anti the government of Geor
gia, had no more to do with the pay or ex
penses inccrred l»y the Battalion, than they
have with a similar command of the regu
lar Army.—So far as regards the Regi
ment about to be raised by order of Gov.
Schley, as a preparatory step to meet any
emergency that may occur in the removal
of the Cherokees, it is true, that most of
the Battalion have re-enlisted, but I hope
it will be remembered, that many of these
men .have served in two late campaigns a
gainst the Seminolcs, and two against the
Creek Indians, and I hope their presenting
their bosoms to • receive the savage blow,
aimed at distant innocence, will not debar
them the privilege of defending their own
wives, children and neighbors from savage
butchery, should it be attempted.
1 will only add my regret, that circum
stances have forced upon me the necessity
of explaining to the citizens of Georgia,
why a portion of the citizen soldiers of the
State, after‘wclve months service by ail;
and over 18 by many, are ready at any
time to meet tiny emC. r £*‘ncy that may occur.
Respectful) v

Major N ei.sox :
Sir —The documents, together with your
note, appended on the back of your com
munication, have been just examined b\
me.—Your request to publish them in my
next (uiper, could not be complied with, for
I shall not reach Athens until noon to-mor
row, w hen it will be too late to get in a docu
ment of sue!) length/jroiuWy. The article#
to which you allude, that appeared in the
Whig, wertj penned under the impression
that you had been discharged from the U.
S. service, mid were retained by his Excel
lency, for the purposes suggested.
As I desire not, cither privately or edi
torially, to do injustice to any one, I will
take pleasure in stating editorially the facts
in the next number.
This I can do in a condensed form, and
present till the facts that the documents con
tain.
If this will, in your opinion, answer the
ends yon design, you can advise me-
I shall leave in the morning’s stage.

TO THE NORTHERN MEN OF AU
GUSTA.
Gentlemen f—Permilone tfho has sti'ttg
gled with you and for you, through the
political contest against Nullification ; and
for the establishment of those Union prin
ciples which has saved the country from
anarchy anti disunion ;• to address you
freely and frankly, upon the approaching
contest in October next. I address you as
northern men,- not for the purpose <>f keep
ing trp a sect io wa I feeling which nevcrshould
have existed, or making any real distinction
between Southern and Northern men ; for
it has ever been my object, as well its a
part of the creed ofthe Union party, to
look on every citizen of the Union, wheth
er he was horn North or South of (he Po
tomac, as brethren of the same soil, identi
fied in-feeling and interest, in the perpetu
ation and prosperity of our glorious Union;
but I do so because I hear it proclaimed at
almost every corner of the streets, that the
Nttllifiers tire boasting that they have the
Northern men on their side.— You hold at
this peculiar crisis itt the political affairs of
Richmond County an enviable position ;
and whether your influence shall be-tbrown
in the scale which turns the fate of your
County for weal or woe', depends upon
what party you vote for. You cannot but
be aware that the spirit of Nullification,
like the undieing worm, is not yet asleep ;
and hy whatever means the ingenuity of its
advocates may endeavor to persuade you
that it is no longer the question ami princi
ple for which they are laboring ' with so
much assiduity to establish ; I tell you that
your quick perception cannot fix! to per
ceive, that they are endeavoring to delude
you; and with all their dissimulating efforts
to change the question, its horrid features
are still visible in the back ground of the
painting. My object is to show you ;t a
glance, from the history of the past, who
are your true friends ; whether they have
been the Nullification State Rights party,
oa whether the Uu'-ou party.—Those of j
you who have resided here as far back as
1831, cannot forget the vituperation and*
uncompromising enmity, w hich was mani
fested tow ards you and your rectiou of the
Union by the Nttllifiers.—They denoun
ced yon every vt'here—-and it was reiterated
through their presses, that the whole of the |
northern' people were abolitionists J rtrtd
their constant anti itncetrsrng efforts were (
exerted to identify every northern man with ;
them, for the purpose of arousing a hostile !
feeling in the South, that a dissolution of,
the Union might be the result; and to such I
an extent did they carry tiieir hue and cry, I
that it became almost a part of their creed,
to look tipon the man whose birth place was
beyond the Potomac, as an enemy to the
South. In this Unholy crusade ithosustain
ed you? Did (tot the Union party through
out the country maintain fearlessly, that the
spirit of fanaticism was confined to a com
paratively few of the north ; and that the
mass of the Northern people, with its in
telligence, were with the South and to
their patriotism would we look for its an
nihilation. Yes, gentlemen, and by that
very effort of the Union party, to sustain
the integrity of the North, it lost several
thousand votes through the State ; for the
Nttllifiers in their rockless course; scru
pled not to identify the Union party with
the abolitionists ; and playing- upon the
(ears of all vvho held slaves, obtaitted ma
ny votes, which were formerly with the
Union party. These are facts which the
NtiHifiers/twn »otc cannot have the hardi
hood to deny. Can you after a recollection
of these events, turn from the frit hds ivho
have sustained yor, an I fawn upon the hand
that has so severely scourged you ! 1 put it
to your independence of character to say,
if you can reconcile it to yourselves to de
sert the friends of the Union, who are
vour friends; Some of you say that the'
Union party are in favor of the administra
tion; and as you are opposed to it, yoii
cannot Vote with them rti the State elections;
Now pause and reflect, if this is to deter
mine your course in favor of the Nullifi
cation State Rights ticket ; if you are not
as the old saying is, “ jtitiiplng put of the
frying pan into the fire.’’
Analyze the creeds of the administra
tion and anti-administration party of Geor
gia, and make a debit and credit account
between tlieih, and then count your gain or
loss. In the first pitice, your voting with
the Union party of Georgia next October,
(as you have done heretofore,') dot's not
prevent the exercise of your preference in
the Presidential contest nuttiiist Mr, Yatt
Buren, when the period shall tirt ive for bis
re- election ; for all who tire Union men,
are not for that reason to be Vast Buren
me -. There'arfe a great many Uniotf men
in Georgia who voted for ?,Ir, With 0 i'-but
who almost to a m tn, are u nv struggling
witfi the Union party to defeat tlie Nu'lifi
ers <m the first Monday in October next ;
because the October election has ni> Vdnhec

against Nullijicatioii they yield alt minor
differences. Sotnv of you arc in favor of a
r charter bf the United Slates B ink ; and
m this yon gain nothing by voting forth."
State Rights parly ; for they as a p,artv,
are as violent!) opposed to the bank as the
Union party are. You may join with the
Nullification State Rights party when the
time arrives in 1810, to pul down Mr. Van
1 Buren; but what will you then gain ? They
I will not vote for a candidate north of the
: Potomac to fill his place ; iitid mark what I
: say, “ thoitgh I am not a prophet, nor the
i sou <>fprophet,” thatifyou nowjoinwitli

next Presidential election arrives ia 184 D,
tyill have rungin your ears by your near
friends, that we must hate a Southern Pres-’
ideal, and they will have some bfot or start
fixed on the Northern candidate, either that
he is a Federalist or Aboiitioni.s(, or both.
Suppose that next October jvas the peri
od for the Presidential election, and Mr.
Van Buren’s electron to depend on the re*
suit of the election in Richinond County ;
and that yon had joined with die .Nullifi
cation State Rights party to defeat him, and
were successful; you will then have gained
inythe defeat of Mr. Van Buren,- and yott
will have lost in him a Northern President.-
You w ill fail to get a recharter of the U.- S*
Bank from the party you have ptftin power?
and you give new life and vigor to that par''*
ly whose, principles are diaifsetricallyopp<and
to yours in every thing, -sate opposition to
hlr. lan Buren. But by adhering to' the
Union party, (at a'crisis wlieri she most
needs your support,) you icill preserve your
consistency; aud you ’will not drive from
you, wi 'lt feelings of bitter regret, ymtr old
politicaljitends who have been friendi in
deed, because friends in need. Then» no
longer permit the Nullification Stale Rights
party to chuckle and laugh in their sleeves at
the idea that they have won yog over to their
side, and consequently will defeat the Uni
on party of Richmond County on the first
Monday iu October next; bitt aronse from
the spell that binds yon ; break asunder the
shackles of delusion, and determine to ga
to the polls sustarning the principles of the
Union party ; and h-t yortr motto tell that
“ the friends of the Cnion are our

JUSTICE.
From the Southern Banner,
A WORD TO THE UNION PARTY.
The intelligence which we are receiving
from all quarters relative to the Governor’*
election, is of the most gratifying character.
Eve ry w here lhei n d ica lions of Go v. Schley**
success arc favorable, and we believe he is
every day increasing hi strength. We are
trow fully convinced, that withugencrai tun*
out of the people, bis election will be cer
tain,.and that by a triumphant majority.
But white we are congratul; ting our
selves upon this cheering posture of our af
fairs, it is the duty of .the Union press to
call the attention of their friends to < tir sit
ua ion in another rcspe. 6, and seriously t<»
propound the inquiry.—What wiil be our
force in the next Legislature .’ Are We trot
in dangi rof being defeated there? Ami
lif so, why ? We aic perhaps as little prone
to anticipate trouble, as most persons, but
when w, see a number of strong Union
counties encumbered with a sup rabuwdance
of candidates on our side, and only a full,
and that a perfectly organized ticket npoti
the other, we are led to fear that by otrr
dimensions we shall suffer rn ei emy, onr
inferior in numbers, to triumph over us.
How it is in other quarters of the Sttate we
we know not, but if present appearances
should undergo no t h nge In several ofour
neighboring counties, it will not be at all
surprising to us, to see them giving Gov.
Schley substantial majorities, and at tl>«
same time sending nullifiers to represent
them in the Legislature. . This state of
things ought not to exist. The coming
session will be one of pi culiar impoitancc.
I Besides the questions of magnitude which
; w ill come before that body, it should be re
-1 collected that all our State House officers
> and most of the Judges of the Superior
I Courts are to be elected. Although the
I millifiers profess to detest the doettine,
that “ to the victors belong the spoils,” is
j there any one so stupid as to believe for a
j moment, that shou d they have the power,
I they will not appropriate all the “ spoils
•of office” to their own use? And will
i Union men stiffer this disaster to take place,
j when by a little concert of action among
I themselves, it can easily be prevented ?
I We hope hot. We would entreat our friends
| in every county where these difficulties ex
: ist, to endeavor to remove them, remember
ing that for the good of the cause in which
iwe are all engaged, personal sacrifices
; should cheerfully be tn:ide fe
I Mmiy frivolous objections ate also made
1 against some of oui 1 candidates, and these
I ine constantly be.ing poured by the assldn
(*ous nullifiers into the ears of union men, i<»
1 detach them from their principles-and their
i friends. It is objected to one that he rc«-
I ceived five dollars a day last winter, and
• on this account he is to. be opposed, Tegnßl
j less of the many acts promoting the gene
ral good which he has performed—■against
i another it is urged that he supported the’
j Court of Errors—to another that he wppr»-
i sed it. Some Union men will not vote for
j a tandlda.te of their party, because he was
in favor of th ? great State Rail Road—
another w ill lore votes from the same pw
ty because he opposed it! These and sim
ilar questions arc raised amoeg us, and
upon these we fear some xvuriliy-member*
I mav be d Leite 1. Wil! not our friends be
! warned tlgainst this suicidal policy? M ill
j they not reflect that the great question which
I originally divided them from their -vppo
j iiejits still ixlss, mid that nullification,
though often defeated, isstlll ns rife among
tisas ever? The advocates of that doc
trine are nut splitting apon minor questions.
They do not support or reject t>nc'-df their
■ candidates in consequence of tilt Wages he.
' has received, dr upon the gWniiuxif ItiS-wK
; vociicj' or oT opposition-tti a great ;
! Road of a Court of Errors. All t>b«lr«Tt,r
ergles are bent to secnreAhe ascendancy of
their political prim y'des, and our efforts,
six uld be as zealous tiwpmee.l such ascen
dancy. To do this we most be united.
Where we havexno many candidates, some
should give -/ray that others may Tun un
trammeflrtl. This can easily beuctotn
piished whi re all are disposed to servolheir
country rather than theme, Ives. ; nod by
! doing this, we shall present an undivided
■ front to the common enemy, and iih et’atul
conquer him at all points.
We have spoken plainly, it may beajh-
