[Washington Chronicle.
JIILLEiMiEWLLE:
TUESDAY MORNIJfG, JI LT J. 1830.
Since we announced our determination to publish
this paper twice a week, we have received many com- ,
munications from our patrons, disapprobating of the j
plan, which go very far to convince us that it would
not be generally approved.
It is urged that the times arc very hard and money
very scarce, and that therefore it is an inauspicious
period for increasing the price of the paper.
With these indications before us, we abandon the I
project for the present, but as we hajl laid in a very
heavy stock oi paper of the size contemplated for
that arrangement, we shall be tftider the necessity of
using it for the weekly paper.
By using smaller type, the paper will contain as
much matter, and present a better and neater form.
THE SEASON'S.
The planting interests have suffered very much
from the protracted drought. We were visited on )
Sunday evening, by gentle showers, w hich continued j
through the night ; and on yesterday morning we'
were favored with a good rain, which has made all I
nature to look gay. The crops of wheat throughout ‘
the country we learn are excellent. Oats almost en
tirely cut oil. But should the rains continue, we |
have yet a prospect of a sufficient crop of corn, for j
the wants of the country.
THE SOUTHERN RECORDER.
This print seem to those who know nothing
about the matter, to have made some astonishing dis
coveries of late, in regard to the political history of
Mr. Xan Buren. It talks most pathetically about his
vote in the New York Convention some twenty-odd
years ago—of his vote upon the Missouri question
and the tariff’, making the nine hundred and ninety
ninth time, more or less, that it has rung the changes
upon the same subjects; in reply to all which, we brief
ly answer, that “ the truth of the pudding is in the eat
ing of it,” and the best standard which we can con
ceive by which to judge his principles, is to be found
in the very able and democratic course of his admin
istration since the 4th of March, 1837 ; and we may
be permitted to ask the Recorder, w hy it so
supported Mr. Van Buren in 1832,
date of all these alleged offences, being then awell
acquainted with his public career up to that period,
as it is at present? Did the Recorder then'consider.•
them as forming no just cause of objection t'o him, ot
were they purposely concealed in order to humbug
the people into his support? If we should answer, it
would be, that they were not then considered by it as
creating valid objections to him.
We hoped, after Mr. Clay in his famous anti-aboli
tion speech, during the last session of Congress, had i
bo amply and honorably acquitted Mr. Van Buren of
the charge of abolitionism, that no whig paper would
ever revive it.
Will the Recorder tell us how it is that free negroes
are allowed to vote in Tennessee, the land of Judge
White ?
The Recorder accuses Mr. Van Buren of having
recently appointed several abolitionists to office, or
rather asks us to answer interrogatories upon the sub
ject ; but as it is our practice to procure evidence our
selves, tojestablish charges against our political adver
saries, we decline to be made a witness for the Re
corder in the present instance, and call upon them to
substantiate its own declaration, or judgment by de
fault will pass against it.
In conclusion, we beg leave to remind the Recor
der, that of the great number of abolitionists in Con
gress, nearly everyone is opposed to Mr. Van Buren—
are whigs, and voted against the rights and inter
ests of the South, in every case touching abolition pe- J
titions. The yeas and nays are at band, if desired.
THE CRISIS AND THE ISSUE.
We address ourselves to every citizen of Georgia,
without distinction of names, who maintains a rigid '
• construction of. the Constitution. Who basing his
political creed u'-w the republican doctrines of’9B-’99
and 1800, is resolved to sink or swim with the Const!- \
lion of his country.
A crisis is rapidly approaching when those who re- !
gard the preservation of State Rights as essential to
the duration of republican liberty, should rally under
THE BANNER Os THE CONSTITUTION when the 1
whole republican phalanx should take the field as|
-one man, with a determined and unflinching resolution ■
to defend the institutions of their country from federal
contagion.
At no period since 1798, has federalism—ultra-fed
eralism—presented as bold and daring a front, as at
the present moment. The enemies of the present de
mocratic administration, drawing around them the dis- /
affected and discontented of all parties, factions and
denominations, are putting forth their whole strength,
and resorting to all means wit hin their grasp, to anni
hilate the pure principles of the Constitution, by elec- 1
ting a man to the Presidency, who contemns the doc-)
trine ol State sovereignty, and who, if the power is
placed in his hands, will concentrate in the federal go
vernment, unlimited control over the States ; a man
who has aheady furnished the unerring evidence of;
bis devotion to the abominableherety of consolidation,
as maintained by Alexander Hamilton, Timothy
Pickering, Harrison G. Otis, and their federal asso
ciates. That man is Henry Clay, the candidate of
the whig party, who is openly in the field with a Na
tional Bank in one hand, and the tariff in the other •
and unless the present incumbent is sustained, the fu
neral obsequies of the Constitution will he performed
on the fourth day of March, 1841—for notwithstand
ing the efforts of Mr. Clay’s friends in Georgia, and
elsewhere, to blind the people and mislead them from
the true issue, there will be but two candidates before
them in the approaching contest —Martin Van Buren
and Henry Clay.
That other names will be mentioned, and even an
nounced in some of the whig papers, in States where
they are afraid to avow an open preference for Air.
Clay, has not been doubted, and is clearly shown by
the annunciation of Governor Troup in the Southern
Recorder of the 25th instant; but the people of no
party can be gulled by the stratagem. The White
humbug is rather too fresh in the public recollection ;
and moreover, if the whig party of Georgia were in
good earnest upon the subject—if they did, in heart
and soul, prefer Governor Troup to any other indi
vidual for this high station of honor and trust, they
know that in the present state of things, no other State
could be induced to take him up; and knowing this,
of what avail will be their exertions to elect him? or
what good will result to the country by running his
name, when defeat and mortification will be the inev
itable consequence ? But why is his name brought
forward at present ? Is it because the whigs entertain
the faintest hope that he can succeed, or that they
I prefer him to any other citizen ? If there is a man of
; ordinary intelligence in the United States who believes
j he could succeed, we pity his infatuation, and that he
I is not the first choice of the whig party, is amply pro
ven by the fact, that he has been once formally nomi
i natcd by them, and subsequently, most unceremoni
ously abandoned for Judge White ofTennessee, a man
so vastly his inferior, that the difference between the
two, is better defined by contrast than comparison.
Taking then for granted, that Governor Troup’s
name is not before the people upon the ground of pre
' ferenee to all other individuals, or under the hope of
ultimate success, it follows that some other motive has
actuated the whigs in adopting the measure. Os that
motive we have but one opinion. We believe it springs
from a deep rooted hatred to Mr. Van Buren, and a
fixed determination to defeat Lis election, although it
should result in the elevation of Mr. Clay; because if
Governor Troup should obtain the vote of Georgia,
it goes so far towards defeating an election by the peo
ple, and increases the chances of carrying it to the
' House of Representatives, where Mr. Clay and his
friends are confident of success ; it is, therefore, man-
I ifest, that if Governor Troup consents to run, and
; Georgia sustains him, Mr. Clay w ill be the beneficiary.
But we ask the whigs, with w hat show of political
j consistency can they support Governor Troup, with 1
, a full knowledge of his views and opinions upon the
i leading questions of the day ? He is decidedly hostile
to a National Bank, and denies to Congress, the pow
er to incorporate such an institution. We find a por
tion of their press, warmly advocating the establish
ment of a National Bank, and very few of them taking
strong grounds against it. He is openly in favor of
a total divorce of the Government from all Banks, j
State and National, while the whig party are its most
bitter opponents, and have abused the measure without
mercy and without end. They have ascribed to it the
derangement of the currency, the scarcity of money,
the embarrassment of the people, with an intermina
ble catalogue of awful forebodings, “ damnable hints,
and diabolical inuendos.” They have denounced it
as forming “ one currency for the Government, and
another for the people,” and in the face of all this,
they announce him as a candidate for the Presidency
—applaud him as “ Georgia’s great patriot—the he
ro ot *585,” and “ the indomitable champion of State
RighW’
ye this sincerity, or consistency ? If it be,
froj» such, may heaven forefend us.
t *ln what sort of predicament would the Recorder
: and its coadjutors be placed, if Governor Troup should
be elected with bis anti-Bank and sub-treasury prin- 1
ciples ? and should he, as he doubtless would, recom- j
mend to Congress the passage of a bill to carry out,
the scheme, would they brand him as i
they have done Mr. Van Buren for the same propo- *
i sition ? Would they continue to ring the changes up- ■
’ <»n a bankrupt treasury, ruined commerce, deranged
I currency, embarrassment, distress and desolation ?
Would they denounce .him for creating “ one curren
cy for the Government, and another for the people ?”
or would they come out w ith an open recantation, and
tell the people that what was most outrageous in Pre
sident Van Buren, would be not only right, but praise
worthy in President Troup ? This they must do, or
find themselves as hostile to his administration, as
they now are to that of the present incumbent.
But if Governor Troup was.a candidate, and it was
j practicable to elect him, so far as his opinions are
known upon the leading questions of the day, we
should expect to find him “ walking in the footsteps
of his illustrious predecessor.” Like Mr. Van Buren,
he would feel himself bound to veto any bill to create a
National Bank. He would be found maintaining, as
Mr. Van Buren is, a strict construction of the consti
tution, and denying to the General Government the
exercise of any power not specifically delegated by
that instrument ; and like him also, exerting himself
to relieve the Government from the dominion of mo
nied corporations. The federal Bank whigs would
at once desert him. Men holding the principles of
Messrs. Clay and Webster, would be arrayed against
J him, and the measures of his administration, and his
J only support would be found in that much abused par
ty, who now- sustain that much abused individual,
: Martin Van Buren.
I XVe might ask the question, has Governor Troup
consented, or will he consent to be a candidate? but
that is a matter between himself and those who desire
his name for that purpose ; but if we were to hazard
a conjecture upon the subject, it would be that his
consent has not, and will not be obtained ; and altho’
' we arc totally ignorant in regard to his opinion of the
relative fitness of Mr. Clay, and the present incum
bent, our knowledge of his long settled views of con
stitutional construction, would warrant the conclusion,
that he would under scarcely any conceivable state of
things, be willing to sec Mr. Clay promoted to the
I Presidency.
Governor Troup is a citizen greatly distinguished
for his mental endowments,and his accomplishments as a
scholar and a statesman. He has filled many high
places of honor and responsibility, in which he lias dis
j played talents ami firmness of the highest order, but
we cannot believe that it is his wish to embark as a
candidate in the present canvass for the Presidency,
and sincerely hope that he may not; because, should
he consent, stu b is the present aspect of the contest,
that thousands who entertain for him the most pro
found respect, could not give him their support.
A great majority of each party have settled dow n
upon their respective candidates, and neither can be
induced to take up a third, and we repeat that scarce
ly any event can, or is likely to occur, which could
change the issue between Van Buren and Clay. To
that alternative it must and will come, unless the hand
of death should take one or the other from the dusty
region of are proud alstWo
repeat, that it is not a struggle for men, but a battle)
for principle: for the sovereignty of the States, against)
the concentrated and unlimited power of one great con- I
solidated government.
JUDGE DOUGHERTY AND STATE RIGHTS.
XXe were so forcibly struck with the following re-1
marks which we find in a paper warmly devoted to
Judge Dougherty, that we copy them, with a brief
answer to where he “ was in those fearful limes.”
“ The State Rights patty claim the principles of '9B as their j
text book, and belivo that Nullification as professed and prac
tised by us, is a legitimate doctrine, inculcated by those prin
ciples.”
“XVe do deny allegiance to the United States, because the
United States aro known as such, only by the Constitution
w hich emanated from the States.”
The same print enquires with an air of triumph,
“ Where was Judge Dougherty in those fearful times, whan
these principles were discussed in Georgia?”
And then answers,
‘•Let him turn to the Journals of the Legislature, and he
will fiud that he supported those principles, which in our opin
ion, are the only ones which can preserve the rights of the
States, and the Constitution of the United States.”
Oil reading the remarks above quoted, we turned
to the Journals of the Legislature, for the purpose of
ascertaining how far they were sustained by his votes
upon questions involving the principles of Stat* sov
ereignty, and directed-our attention to the proceed
ings upon the bill to survey and occupy the Cherokee
country.
Among the numerous substitutes and amendments
w hich were offered during the discussion, “ Air. Beall,
of Twiggs, offered the following as an additional sec
tion
“ Anil be it further enacted, That nothing in this act con
tained, shall be so construed, as to authorise lite Governor to
order the Surveyors to proceed with the survey as contempla
ted by this act, until ho shall be satisfactorily informed by the
President of the United States, that the Public force of
the United States, will not be employed to prevent said survey
and occupancy.”
The yeas and nays stood—for the section, G—
against it, 117—Judge Dougherty voting for it.
Are the principles contained in this section, “the
only ones which can preserve the rights ol the States”?
Are these the boasted principles of nullification ?
“ XVhere was Judge Dougherty in those fearful |
times r” XVe answer, that he was voting “ allegiance
to the United States,” and not only allegiance, but
submission, by declaring under bis solemn oath, the
1 authority of the United States, with an armed force,
to arrest the government of Georgia,in the exercise of
her constitutional rights.
And this is the support which Judge Dougherty
gave to the principles of nullification, “ in those fear
ful times;” and this is the evidence which is to be
found in the very journals to which we are pointed for
evidence in his behalf.
j Suppose a motion had been made in the Scutl)
i Carolina Convention, that no measures should be ta
i ken to enforce their ordinance, until General Jackson
should have “ satisfactorily informed” her Governor,
“ that the public force of the United States would not
be employed to prevent” its execution ? XVhat sort of
a figure would the mover have cut? Nullification
would have disowned him, and he would have been
hissed out of the Contention.
The least said about Judge Dougherty’s nullifica
tion and State Rights principles, and the less-the
journals are examined, the better for him and his party.
“ People who live in glass houses, should not throw stones.”
RAIL ROADS.
How gratify ing it is to the heart of a Georgian, to
j witness the good spirit which is manifested between’
the cities of Savannah and Augusta, and their mutual
j efforts to be united by stronger and more enduring
[ ties.
The proposal now- under consideration in both ci
| ties, to open a great channel of intercommunication
i by means Rail Road from Augusta, to in
tersect the Rail Road at some point in the
-county of Burke, strikes us as of the highest impor
tance to the prosperity and convenience of both, and
as calculated to result in much good to a large por
tion of our fellow citizens, as well as to elevate the
character of our State, in an agricultural and com
mercial point of view'; and we earnestly hope, indeed
we will not allow- ourselves to doubt, that every ob
stacle w hich may now lie in the weu' of this great en
terprise, will be speedily overcome, and that the ben
efits arising from works of internal improvement,
will inure to the benefit of our own State and people.
XX’e discover from the proceedings of a public meet
ing lately held m Augusta, upon the subject above
referred to, that a request has been made by the South
Carolina company,to extend the Charleston and Ham
burg Rail Road across Savannah river, and into the
corporate limits oi Augusta, and we are not surprised
at this movement, because we have not doubted that
their policy was, to draw as large a portion of the
trade of Georgia to Charleston, as they could possi
bly obtain ; nor do we blame them for their efforts in
the premises: hut we should blame the people of Au
gusta, and the citizens of Georgia generally, were
they to aid in its consummation. XVe applaud the
people of South Carolina for the zeal with which they
have embarked in, and are prosecuting their works of
internal improvement, from which, we ardently desire
to witness the full dcvelopemcnt of the resources of
their State, and from which, in the end, we hope
they may reap a rich reward. But we wish
Georgia to do the same, and that w hatever benefits
may arise from her own works now- in progress, and
those in contemplation, may, as we have said, inure to
her own people—that they may be enriched, and the
character of the State elevated to a distinguished rank
among her confederates. XX r e wish the prosperity of
the sea ports of South Carolina, but our first and
. highest duty is to our own—then we say, let Carolina
make the most of her own resources, but let Georgia
do the same, and both may be prosperous enough.
LICENSE LAW.
XX e published last week, an article over the signa
ture of “C. and in the present number another from
the same pen, explanatory of the first, and also the
communication of “ An Enquirer,” but wish it dis
tinctly understood, that in regard to this class of pub
lications, we shall act upon our judgments and our
will, admitting or rejecting, by this standard alone.
XVe regret most sincerely, the course which this
question is likely to assume, by involving itself in
many instances, with politics, and stirring up strife
amongst neighbors and friends.
1 hat the intemperate use of ardent spirits is an evil
of great magnitude, will not be denied by men of
common sense and common reason, but they may at
the same time, very rationally differ as to (lie proper
means to lie taken for its correction ; and in the pre-
J sent instance, we are free to admit that in our opinion.
the remedy is not only too harsh for the disease, but
that even if it should he carried, that it will prove
wholly inadequate to accomplish the end proposed.
XX’e shall say more upon this subject hereafter.
COMMUNICATED.
Mr. Editor —A correspondent over the signature
of “ C.” in your paper of the 25th June, states that
“ the authorities relied on,” in opposition to the ob
jects sought to be accomplished by the “ petition” to
the Legislature of Georgia, upon the evils of rite re
tail laws, are “ Paley, Locke, Madison, and the Con
stitution of the United Stales, with divinity.
Being among those who have thought highly both
of the petition and its objects, I should nevertheless be
disposed to surrender mj individual opinion to the
very weighty authorities adduced. I had not appre
hended that the principles either of Paley, Locke,
Madison, the Constitution or divinity, or any legiti
mate construction of them, stood in opposition to
the petition alluded to, or to the ends which it is in
tended to accomplish. Yet I confess I may be in
error, and would therefore respectfully ask of your
correspondent “ C.” to furnish me and the public
with the particular views of the authors referred to,
which are relied on as opposing said petition; as I
have made a fruitless examination for them.

By the publication, the impression will be made,
that the travelling gentleman in that cause is char

to make up an issue with Itim, or to make any charge
against him, unless he was privy to, and did approve
the acts of others, which is not believed.

Singular Perification of a Dream.— A letter from
Hamburg contains the following curious story rela
tive to the verification of a dream. It appears that a
locksmith’s apprentice one morning lately informed
bis master, Claudo Soller, that on the previous night
he dreampt that he had been assassinated on the road
to Bergedoff, a little town at about two hours distance
from Hamburg.—The master laughed at the Young
man’s credulity, and toprove that he himself had
little faith in dreams, insisted upon sending him im
mediately to Bergedoff with 140 rix dollars, (.£22 Bs.)
which he owed to his. brother, who resided in the
town. The apprentice, after in vain imploring his
master to change bis intention, was compelled to set
out abouteleven o’clock. On arriving at the village
of Bellwaerder, about half way between Hamburg
and Bergedoff, he reccollected his dream with terror,
but perceiving the bailie of the village at a little
distance, talking to some of his workmen, he acquaint
ed him with li:s singular dream, at the same time re
questing that as he had money about bis person, one
of his workmen might be allowed to accompany him
for protection across a small w ood that lay in his way.
The bailie smiled, and in ohediance to his orders,
one of his men set out with the young apprentice.
The next day, the corpse of the latter was conveyed
by some pc isanis to the bailie, along with a reaping
hook which had been found by his side, and with
which the throat of the murdered youth had been cut.
The bailie immediately recognised the instrument as
one which he had on the previous day given to the
workman who had served as the apprentice’s guide,
for the purpose of pruning some willows. The
workman was apprehended, and, on being confronted
with the body of his victim, made a full confession
of his crime, adding that the recital of the dream
bad alone prompted him to commit the horrible act.
The assassin, who is a native of Bilwaerder, and
previous to the perpetration of the murder, hajd al
ways bore an irreproachable character.
