They went a step farther, and denied relief to a people, su.leiiag from the failure of a crop, and the embarrassment of (he times; and when called on by the Governor, in a spirit which does honor to his head and his heart, to adopt some measure of relief, they told him, they “would not, if they could;” and thus the fact is established upon evidence which cannot be disputed, that the credit system has been prostrated in Georgia, by tlie hands of the Harrison party, who have scorned in in terpose their arms to save tiie people from impending ruin, mocked their supplications, and laughed at their calamities. If this is the sort of laugh, which the Recorder is wont to indulge in, there was never a more fit occasion for its indulgence. After going on to brand the Democrats as “the rampant abusers of banks” See. &:c. they ask, “Where will our opponents be found next month, wc should like to know ? Will !hev be for Mr. Clay, or Mr. Bentrn, Gen. Scott, or Mr. Mebster, Mr. Van Guren, or Mr. Calhoun?” We can tel! the Recorder where wc shall be a month henor« “next moon,” or four years he,;ce. We shall be just where the Recorder was once, under tiie ban nerol the constitution, where we have alwayg been— advocating State Rights as the sheet anchor of our political salvation—claiming for the States, all rights and powers inn specifically delegated to the United State—standing by the side of Jefferson and Troup, in deadly hostility (o a National Bank, a tariff for protection-^Internal Improvements by the general government, and all those abuses and usurpations of power, whieh have been uniformly claimed by the fed eral partv—and always on tlie side of a suffering peo ple, when their necessities demand relief. We will go further to declare, that if Gets. Harrison forms a re publican Cabinet—if be draws around him, as bis counsellors, nun whose known devotion to the prin ciples of democracy, place them ‘‘above suspicion”— if lie pledge* him.-elf in his Inaugural address, to a strict adlieranc- to the letter and spirit of the constitu tion and abj-ms the exercise of all powers by the Federal government, which are reserved to the States—and stand* up lo the South, and her institu tions,—so far as we are concerned, he shall have our cordial support.—But ifhe forms a cabinet of men averse to those principles—and who are disposed to favor a National Bank—a Tariff—Internal improve ments—the reception and discussion of Abolition pe- titiens, or a latitu inous construction of the constitu tion—-then shall he, and his administration encoun ter our feeble but most vindictive opposition !
