which by right ought to bo borne by the Federal Govern
ment, and kicking* up a little wnr on our own hook, and
at our own expense, and embroiling us in an uncalled for
and unnecessary contest, in nil probability, with the bal
ance of the Union. All this cost and trouble, and suite,
and confusion, of course w is a matter of no importance to
the mover; it was only defeating the zealous and sincere
efforts of the General Government, in their friendly labors
to accomplish the object for us.”
All this would have been pretty passab c during the session
of 1830, but it comet too late in the Jay. All the people
know that we have obtained our Cherokee lauds by the only
measure which would ever have placed them in our bands,
nnd that too, with the fullest sanction of forty nine fiftieths
of the people of Georgia.
But to hear the Recorder complaining that we would em
barrass Gen. Jackson nnd his administration is something
new under the sun. No, no. neighbor, you cannot take any
part between Gen. Jackson and ourselves—you have abused
him too long ami too loud for that; but if it w ill afford any
comfort or consolation, we are able to inform you, that Gen
Jackson never complained that we were embarrassing his Ca
inet, and moreover, that he considers the introduction of the
measure by us. and the perseverance w ith which it was car
ried to its final consummation, one of the cleverest thing's
which has been done for Georgia, in a number of years.—
Therefore the Recorder need trouble itself no more upon that
point; and we do earnestly hope never again to hear the Re’
corder speak of lhe sincere and zealous rjfurls" of General
Jackson.
“To this motion, however. Judge Dougherty thought pro
per to object." And ho did object with a vengeance, for
eoouer than see the State and the people go into the posses
sion of their own undisputed property, lie would clothe the
General Government with power to trample down their
rights, and prostrate their sovereignty at the point of the
bayonet.
And believing that many of those who went with the Ed
itor of the Standard, would bo restrained in their misguided
zeal, by a show oj opposition on the part of the Federal Go- f
•vernmeut more readily than by any other means, the resolu
tiou was offered."
This seems to be rather a different version of the affairs '
mid if it would not reflect too severely upon Judge Dougher
ty, and those who concocted the amendment, it might lie ta
ken for granted that it was a mere bumbug to alarm those I
echo went with the Editor, by a shotvol opposition; but as mem- (
bers of the Legislature, vote under the obligations of a very
colemu oath. We cannot believe that Judge Dougherty ,
would sport in a matter so sacred, but that he voted exactly
what be believed to-wit: that the General Government had
the light to control the States with a military force.
‘•And the thing took like a flash on the part of those who I
advocated the measure itself"—Not so—and we here assert, |
and again refer to the Journal of the House above, that the
amendment received butsix votes, not one of them being an
advocate of the hill to survey the country.
That there was an out door attempt to alarm the friends of
’he bill, we have no doubt, for during its discussion a letter
was said to have been received from a distinguished citizen
of Georgia, then at Washington city, of which however we
could never obtain a sight, containing as it was intimated,
“ damnable hints and diabolical of what Gen
eral Jackson would do, if we went on to survey the Chero
kee country, but it produced no panic among the friends of
the measure, and if the Recorder is tight, the amendment of
Mr. Beall was gotten up as the last scare crow, “ to frighten
grown up children.” We cannot however, as we have be
fore said, place that construction upon it, but as we consider,
ed it then, so we do no how, the candid expression of the
Anti-State Rights principles of Judge Dougherty.
The Judge has been called a Nullifier. Do the principles
of nullification admit the right of the federal government to
invade the States with an armed force to pievent the exe
cution of the constitutional acts of their Legislatures He
has been called a State Rights man. Do the doctrines of
State Rights concede to the federal government to the power
to make war upon the States or to invade them at pleasure
with the army of nation! We think not. We understand them
to be that the general government cannot rightfully coerce a
State under any circumstances, and yet Judge Dougherty, i
by his recorded vote, has recognized such a power to the ful
lest extent.
Does Governor Troup agree with Judge Dougherty upon
this point? No. When Mr. Adams threatened to seud the
(Juited States army to Georgia in 1827, to prevent the survey
of our Creek lands, how was he met by Governor Troup ?
With these response. I give to your threat, "the defiance
which it merits,” and if you attempt to execute it, " 1 will
bold and treat you as public enemies.” In 1830, when a
bill was progressing to survey the Cherokee Territory, and
when President Jackson interposed to obstacle, what said
Judge Dougherty ? Why, the land shall not be surveyed un
til the Governor "shall he satisfactorily informed by the
Presidentof the United Stares, that the public forced! the I
cisitkd states will not be employed to prevent said stir- l
vey and occupancy.”—Defend your candidate.
THE SOUTHERN WHIG.
The Southern Whig in attempting to rescue Judge Dough
erty from the effect of his submission vote in 1830, has
thrown him deeper in the mud, than he was in the mire. It
even strips him of all lhe candor which we have uniformlv
•scribed to him, and of that sincerity and independence
which are due to his character.
Among a string of interrogatories propounded to us, we
select lhe following, and can only say, that if it meets the ap
probation «f Judge Dougheity, he must be thankful for very
small favors.
“ Did not Judge Dougherty vote for the resolution post
poning the surveys, because it was known at Milledgeville,
at the time the resolution was acted upon, from good au
thority that by so doing, he, aud those who v ited with him,
would act in accordance with the wishes of General Jack
*Qn—who at that time admitted the right of Georgia, in
its fullest extent, to the Indian Territory, and was doing all in
his power to secure her that right.” • 1
It bad been better we think, that this question should have
been propounded to Judge Douglicrty himself, because tffcJJ
implication contained in it, that ho voted under the impuls4|
of respect for General Jackson, and not upon principle is 1
strong that it is a very delicate question for any one hut him*
to decide ; but as the Editor of the Whig is doubtless anx
ious to bear our response, he shall have it.
There we do not believe that his vote was given to gratify
General Jackson, but as an expression of his own opinion in
regard to tbe power of the General Government over the
tates ; Indeed, if we could for a moment entertain the
•dea, that he would violate his own constitutional principles
gratify (,eneral Jackson or any other individual, we
should lose all the respect which we entertain for him as an
honest aud independent men.
But if the Whig chooses to place it upon that footing, and I
to s ow off the Judge as sacrificing I is own principles to the
wishes of another, it will not be our fault, but tins much we
say, sh.tt if he finds no better advocates than the W hig.
he may well exclaim, "save me from my friends."
lhe article f r .„n which we made the above extract, among
ot et thing., intimates that the Union party have charged
udge Dougherty with signing the Flournoy petition.
It is not the fact, and if such a report has been circulated
H had its might with his friends. The first intimation which
we had of the kind, was from one of his political friends, but
w e placed no confidence in it, nor have we ever spoken of tbe
Judge in our e damns, in connexion with that subject, but a
single time, aud that was to state, upon subsequent informa
tiott, that he bad not signed the petition.
We were informed some weeks ago, that one of his ptomi’
nent friends Iftd said he should bo glad to sec the political
contest placed upon that issue, and how far he may act upon
it, we neither know nor care.
We are aware that upright and respectable men of both
parties have signed the petition, but of one thing we are cer’
, tain, that the project was not set on foot by Union men.—
Messrs. Flournoy aud Lumpkin ate understood to be the fa
thers of the scheme, nnd at this time of day, there are very
few w ho will he found to dispute its paternity with them.
they are both members of Judge Dougherty’s party.
W'e have never desired to bring this question into the Gov
ernor's eleclion, hut if Judge Dougherty’s friends will have it
so, we say, he it so, for we are ready for trial.
JUDGE M‘DONALD THE TARIFF.
Some of the whig presses are accusing Judge M'Donald
of being a Tariff man, because be did not swear that the
Tariff' was unconstitutional. If that is to bq the test we
have very high aulboiity to sustain him. The late Wm.
H. Crawford advocated a protective tariffaslongagoas 1816,
and Gov. Troup sanctioned the principle to the fullest ex
tent by his vote in the Senate of the United States to
. raise the duty’ on coarse woollens from five per cent, to
I fifty per cent.
If Gov. Troup had believed protective duties uncon
stitutional, he never would have given the vote above re
i ferred to.
It therefore follows, if our candidate for Governor is a
tariff man, which no man believes, “ being of sound mind,
1 and having the fear of God before his eyes,” that the
whigs have a candidate fir President who is still more o*
a Tariff’ man.

STATE RIGHTS!
OR
TROUP es. DOUGHERTY.
TROUP.
“ Executive Department, Ga.
Milledgeville, Feb. 17,1827.
Sir:—l received this af
ternoon, from Lieut. Vinton,
your letter of the 29th ult.,
and read within the same
hour, both it and the copy of
it as published in the Nation
al Intelligencer of the 7th
instant.
No room was left to mis
take the meaningof this des
patch. Lieut. Vinton an
nounced himself in an intro
ductory note, a copy of
which is herewith transmit
ted as the Aid of the Com
manding General, and you
are sufficiently explicit as
to the means by which you
propose to carry your reso-
I lutien into effect. Thus the
military character of the
menace is established, and I
am only at liberty to give to
it, lhe DEFIANCE which
it merits. You will distinct
ly understand, therefore,
that 1 feel it to be my duty,
to resist to the utmost, any
military attack which the
government of the U. States
shall think proper to make
on the Territory, the peo
ple, and the sovereignty of
Georgia ; and all the meas
ures necessary to the per
formance of this duty, ac
cording to our limited means,
' ate in progress.
From tbe first decisive act
I of hostility, you will be con
: sidered and treated as pub
lic enemies, and with the
less repugnance, because
you, to whom we might con
stitutionally have appealed,
for our defence against in
vasion, are yourselves the
invaders, and what is more,
the unblushing allies of the
savages, whose cause you
have adopted.”
For the Standard of Union.
TO NORTHEHN MEN IN THE SOUTH.
Whatever may have been our political sentiments while
at the North, from personal observation, I conceive that
there is but one proper and consistent course for us to
pursue here, in regard to political affairs.
*On setting foot upon Southern soil, we find the organi
zation of parties very dissimilar to that of the parties at
the North. There, the principal distinction is Adminis
tration and Anti-Administration; here, State Rightsand
ynion. The leading principles of either party here, do
«i'W, in every particular coincide with those of either party I
though I am inclined to believe that the sentiments
eatertained by the zldministration party at the North, and
•thosejield by the Union party at the South, run much
more nearly parallel to each other, than do the principles
or the Northern Anti-Administration party and those of
the Southern State Rights party.
When we advert to the origin of the State Rights party,
we find this difference coeval with, and inherent in its very
organization.
The State Rights party, if it did not originate "in, at
least received gieat accessions of numbers, and concen
tration by the power of nullification, which pervaded
Smith Carolina in 18.32—3. This we all well recollect,
was not so much an opposition raised against the usurpa
tions of the General Government, as it was a settingup
of Southern State Rights against Northern State Rights.
Now this still remains as I apprehend, the grand axeltree
on which the Stall Rights party turns at the present day.
1 lie actions and sentiments of the champions of this pat
ty sufficiently wariant the assertion.
By the publication and avowal of such sentiments as
are held by the State Rights party, it is natural that ani
mosities, tlms kindled and kept alive, should grow up be
tween Northern men and that party in the South; which
animosities, and all their attendant consequences, are much
DOUGHERTY.
“ And be. it further enact- I
cd, That nothing in this act '
contained, shall be so con- ;
stated, as to authorise the
Governor to order the Sur- I
. veyors to proceed with the I
survey as contemplated by
this act, until he shall be ■
satisfactorily informed bv
the President of the United
States, that the public force
of the United States will
not be employed to prevent
said survey andoctupancy.”
I
mote keenly felt by, and apparent to a northern person,
on coining to the South, than to a Southern man. He is
no sooner landed than he is viewed with suspicion and in
qtrisiiive distrust. He is suspected of being the secret emis
sary of a band that seek to destroy the peace and tran
quility of the South; and, the moment he declares him
self to have come from North of the Potomac, he is im
mediately set down as a swindling Yankee, who has come
here that he may find a field more favorable to cheating
and trafficking for a livelihood. These are not mete fab
licatkms oi the fancy. I hey are, lam sorry to say,
verbatim anathemas and insulting taunts which I have
heard with my own ears; and from those too, who are
highly distinguished for their proficiency in the lucid sci
ence of Southern State Rightism. lam glad, however,
that to all this there are some noble exceptions; but they
are confined principally to those who are rather fascinate’d
with the mellifluous name, than acquainted with the origin
and tendency of State Rightism. I would ask, who,“or
what party is there, either at the North or South, that
does not cherish and endeavor to maintain the genuine
State Rights--those rights which were guarantied by the
Constitution to each individual Slate? This question is
so well settled, and tbe principles involved in it so univer
sally acquiesced in at the North, that the distinction of
State Riehls and Union is entirely unknown there. It is
taken as little less than a self-evident proposition that none
I can be so base, or so reckless of calamitous consequences,
as to wish a dissolution of the Union on the one hand, and
| on the otl|er, so slavish and dastardly, as passively and
without a murmur, to yield up theit constitutional rights.
Is it indeed come to this ? Shall it be said of us abroad,
that are already sown in this noble Republic, the seeds’
of its dissolution? That a union, which has withstood
the force of the most powerful and formidable empire o.n
I the face of the earth, is now in the zenith of her prosper
; ity, about to be shaken to pieces by het own intestine com
rnotion-? and vet, if we lend our aid in promoting this
nominal State Rightism, which is but another name for an
imhittered opposition of Southern States against Northern
States, this is what we are remotely bringing about.
Already have there become, by the influence of politi
cal tenets of this kind, such a hetrogeneous coldness and
unsociable relation between the citizens of different parts
of the Union, as to cause them to look upon each other
as being scarcely fellow countrymen. Can indeed such
things be said of the descendants of those who, for the
liberty we now enjoy, fought under the same banner—in
the same field—side by side in a common cause; and ma
ny of w hom met a common grave ? I hope not.
Now’, on an impartial view of this state of feeling in lhe
South, I have but to ask my fellow Northern men at lhe
South, which will he the more rational and consistent course
for us to take ; to give our suffrages to the man who strives
to foment these sectional jealousies, and to keep off an
amicable communication between the citizens of the dif
ferent States; or for us to go hand in hand, to the Polls
with, and vote for him who will hail us as friends, and
treat us as brothers and as fellows having amicacle citizen
ship. Ihe latter, lam persuaded shows the most of grat
itude ; and is the most proper, rational and consistent
course. a northern man in the south.
For the Standard qf Union.
I cut the following from an article in the last Macon
j Messenger, signed “ Old Facts,” in defence of Judge
I Dougherty, and call the attention of old Clark men to its
1 contents.
. Comment is unnecessary :
“But the "land speculators, and head men ofthe Clark
party, (since styling themselves the Union party) were
then opposed to, and had no friendship, confidence, or
. disposition to give Gen. Jackson an opportunity to use his
efforts to bring about an amicable adjustment with the
Indians: they were so eager for the land, and so hostile to
I Gen. Jackson, (until after his celebrated Proclamation and
force bill,) that they were for rushing headlong into the
Cherokee country with their surveyors, at the very mo
ment the Federal Government was useing its best efforts
to effect a treaty, in behalf of Georgia, for the land.
They were regardless of alli>rjn< ii>le« nf ini,.,....! -

gold mines, and they could not wait a few months.”

\ ALI ABLE Dog.—About 8 o’clock, on Tuesday
morning it ut.iti and a small boy were seen fishing in
a small bo-it on lhe Schuylkill, having a large dog
with them in the boat. When nearly opposite to
Arch street, the man fell overboard, and the dog im
mediately plunged in, seized him by the coat, and
bore him to the shore, about sixty yards distant. The
man appeared to use no exertion, but lay motionless
until he reached terra firma. One of our reporters
who saw the affair, supposed it to be some one trying
the skill of his dog, rather than an accident: but in
either case, such an animal is a valuable acquisition.
HAPPINESS.
An eminent modern writer beautifully says:—“The

God. “

From lhe Mobile Commercial Register.
DEATH OF JUDGE HITCHCOCK.
Mobile is bereft I —Alabama is bereft of one of her noblest citizens!
lhe Hon. Henry Hitchcock, late Judge of the Supreme Court of Ala
bama, and who has long been known and esteemed as one of the most
useful, liberal minded, generous nnd accomplished men in the whole
Southern country—is no more. After a short illness of Yellow Fever,
in the severest form, which ran its fatal course unchecked, notwithstan
ding the utmost efforts of medical skill, and tbe anxious care and un
wearied attentions of his family and friends, lie died at his residence on
Government street,in Mobile,on Sunday mornimr. August 11.
The sudden demise of this distinguished citizen, hue sent a thrill ,
through every part of this community. His long residence here his I
extensive possessions—his enlarged views—his public spirit—liis ad- i
tiiirahie eneigy of character—had identified Judge Hitchcock with the
best interests of Mobile; and his affability of manner—his rendinoss to
aid by his counsel —his influence—his personal exertions Ins credit
and his purse too—every one who appealed to him deserving of coun
tenance —had endeared him to hundreds. For many years he had been
a judicious friend to the industrious mechanic, employing his extensive |
means in improving the citv, adorning it with buildings, for the several I
purposes ol business, of public education, religion, and charity, nnd
thus furnishing constant employment nnd certain support to a large
number of industrious mem and their families Almost everv street of
our city bears lhe impress of his enterprise, his liberality, or his taste.
The deep sympathy evinced by persons of all classes, when the intel
ligence spread that his life was in danger, the look of e. lions aud even
painful anxiety that almost every countenance wore on Sunday, when
it was found that he was no more ; and the immense concourse of cili- I
z,enn at his funeral; the tearful eyes and heaving bosoms that crowded I
thickly around his grave ; the public meetings that immediately follow- j
ed—first of the citizens generally, and then of members of the bar—to
show respect to his memory—nil furnish unequivocal proof of the rare
worth of the deceased Judge, and of the hold he hud gained on the con
fidence, tbe esteem, nnd the afiictions of his lellow-eitizeus. Judge
Hitchcock was, indeed, no ordinary mini. Early in lifehe dislinguirlicd
himself by hiss energy of character, industry and perseverance, tie
was among the first citizens from tha United'Slates whorettled in Mo
bile, soon alter the territory passed under die American ling : and itvviu
not long before his skill in his profession as a lawyer; and bis patient
uttention to liis dut es, gained him friends, nnd secured him practice.
At all times he was remar'.uhle lor his strict iut’"giity, n nice sense of
honor, and all those amiable qualities which cotifergiace aud dignity on
n man in his personal iutercrurse. e. ith others. A.s a son, bis conduct
through life to His widowed pniert was most exemplary—’twas amia
ble. As a husband and a father, it can with tbe strictest tiuth be said,
that Judge Hitchcock was all that a man aught tube—affectionate, con
fiding, gentle and judieiou?—h " was tbe coumtelior and ths friend, as
well as the protector of her whom he hud taken to his bosom as the
partuei of Itia fortunes: to his children ever kind, diecreet and firm.
Five children, the youngert not live years old when he died, are left to
mourn the loss that can not be repaired. To liis friends, nnd they were
neither f-w nor obscure, the deceased wns all that a friend should be—
v. arm in his attachments, judicious, frank a’ld open hearted, giving and
soliciting advice, as circumstances required, with tbe sincerity of one
who knew not what mistrust was. To strangers, the iiospitality, the
urbanity, the extensive information, the unvarying kindness of Judge
Hitchcock, presented attractions which caused"his acquaintances to be
e_agerly sought: aud lew, who could do it visited Mobile lor even a short
time, without procuring letters of introduction to him : and numerous
and even oppressive as these repeated claims on his time and attention
must have been, these claims were never disregarded—but to the last,
his attention and kindness to strangers was nndimimslicd.
But more than all, he was a decided and consistent Christian. Matty
recollect, full well, the sensation felt in Mobile, when, in the spring of
1835, Judge H. in company with several others, most of them heads of
families, during a time of impressive solemnity in the Presbyterian
Church in this city, openly assumed the obligations of the Christian pro
fession,and was baptised. His testimony to the insufficiency of mere
morality, however pure, to the reality and the worth of experimental re
ligion—tbe fruits ofthe Holy Spirit’s influence, in virture of the Re
deemer’s vicaiionssufleriiigs—wasvipenly and distinctively given. About
two years afterwards he accepted the offil e of Ruling elder in the church,
tendered him by a unanimous vote. It is enough to say, that liis deport
ment ns a private member, and afterwards as an Oflicqr Qf tire Church,
was consistent and e.xainplary. He evinced genuine -and growing-piety,
and unaflected huinilitv. He was, eminently, ajudiciuus counsellor, a
peace maker, a healer of differences. His summons to leave this world
was sudden—blithe met it like a Christian. He hud no transports, but
he had perfect peace—and confidence, unwavering, in the mercy ol
God, nnd calm rcsi. nation to the. Divine will-. He took a most affecting
leave of his Irelovcd family. He laid Iris haiids, even-then fast growing,
cold, on the head of each child, as he pronounced a father’s blessing, nnd i
charged thetn to honor their mother —and then while bis voice was fal
tering and hoarse with approaching death, he cheered his weeping wife,
b v directing her to “ trust in God,” After leaving a last message to liis
toother, his fellow elders, and to the C liurcb, he iptielly breathed his last
in peace. “ Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints.”
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man
is peace.” jj.

PRESENTMENTS of th: Grand Jmy <>t Crawford
county. August Term, 1829-
The Gram! Jitrois selected and sworn for the county of
Ciawford, in discharge of a duty which custom has made
absolute—Respectfully present as a subject of individual
and geneial gratification, the quiet and good feeling perva
ding our community.
Citizens usually orderly and industrious, have been bless
ed in the blessings of Providence, mid are now receiving aud
imparting hope of future prosperity and advancement.’’
Our calender membets has but few eases of criniinal in
fractions, and none which are p< rculiarized by the pravity
of spirit or aggravation of ciicumstancec.
The Jurors have noticed with much satisfaction in the ca
ses which they have been called upon to examine a degree
of prudent reflection and manly forethought, which consist
in our evidence of regard to the laws, mandates in the dread
of its consequences. This they believe w ill assure continu
ance of lhe cxcellant relations subsisting between the larv
and the subject.
Devotions to the institutions of the countv, resulting pure
ly from love of order, and the protection w’hich institution!*
afford, is the great conservation principal of rule and gov
ernment—other devotion which is rhe result of fear of pun
ishment, may induce passive obedience; hut the deettine of
fear and passive obedience, is that of the dispart and finds no
house or resting place in the land of the American citizen.
We recommend to the Inferior court and Commissioners
of roads throuxhont the county, the rigid enforcement of tlio
road laws now in force.
We would further recommend that the Justices of the
Peace in each district, appoint and enforce the law in regard
thereto, as far as in their power.
We concur with the Grand Jury at lhe February term, of
the Superior court of this county, in recommending the re
peal of the law for paying grand and petit jurors, so far as
this county is concerned.
We think it our duty to call the attention ofthe luferiorcourt.
to the constitution, of the enclosure around the court house,
and recommend that they lake the necessary steps to have
the said enclosure immediately repaired, in order that the
shade trees may be preserved.
We are pleased to see the salutary effects of the late law
on the subject of the retail of spirits to negroes, is evidence
by the increased sobriety and worth of that portion of our.
and we would recommend to the retailers of our county, a
strict observance of said law.
For the advancement and promotion of morals and tem
perance in our county —we would earnestly recommend to
the next Legislature, if in there, they can enact any law
| which will promote said cause, without violating the Con
stitution of the State, or infringing upon the liberties which
the constitution guarantees to its citizens.
We allow the tax collector seventy three dollars nnd ele
ven cents, ou his insolvent list. We also allow him the furth
er sum of thirty-three dollars and thirty-one cents, which in
part, has been paid in other counties, hy persons which have
lately moved to this county, and not in time to be subject to
taxes in this county, for the present year, aud also where per
sons have been charged twice in the digest made by the re
ceiver.
I'iiis body having been informed that the individual ac
ting as county treasurer, has m> bond in the Clerks office of
the Inferior court, feel it their duty ti> rßcotsimeiid to the In
ferior court, to enquire into the matter, mid if such fact does
exist, that the court requite of the person acting as treasurer,
a bond accotditig to the requisitions of law.
Li conclusion, we tender our sincere thanks to hi; Honor
Judge King, and also to lhe Solicitor Getteta Col. Strerk,
for the able and faithful discharge of tludr several duties, and
request these our presentments be published ia one oi' tho
Gazettes in Milledgeville.

We the undersigned, a portion of the Grand Jury, of the
county of Crawford, at August tenn, 1839.d0 prut st against
so much of the pte-etitmi tits of this b dy. at tho present
teim. as recommends the Legislntme to !egisl«te on the sub
ject of temperaiK <— disttppror mg at ibe same time as «e do
of tile baneful inti ettee of internpertmce ; bm believing that
any legislation on this subject, wmulti be mt inhiugement on
tiie constitution and social rights of the citizen, and a p <»■
ceeding on which future legislatn es might rely to justify
further ami more alaiming encroachments on the rights ami
privileges of the citizen. We protest against it further, be
cause wo consider it out duty at least, to employ our b- st
efforts to stay the march of the innovating spirit of tbe day,
which is seeking to sweep from the <■■ untry. all of lhe an
cient landmarks of opinion and belief, erected hy the saga
city and patriotism of our ancestors for our guidance and con
trol—landmarks which we mdently hope w ill long occupy a
conspicuous place on the cliffs of timo mid like beacon files,
illumine the path of the citizen to the remotest posteiity.
