An esteemed correspondent and friend (says the lliehmond Ennui her.) under date of the lath instant, writes as follows : “ I am much pleased with your political reminiscence. Your sketch of the Troupe and Adam’s controversy brings back to my mind a matter in which I, like everybody else, took considerable interest at the time. <Jld Troup, though the head and front of the ‘Jiery Geor gians’ of whom Jefferson spoke, was indeed a 'war horse,' as you characterize him; a per fect Marshal Ney in a charge upon the invad ers of State sovereignty. The republication of the controversy at this time is appropriate.” I But tor the length of the concluding part of the sketch published in Tuesday's issue, we should have indulged in some remarks of our own respecting the impression which the con- ' troversy made on the public mind of the coun try. Taking it for granted that our readers, or ’ st any rate a considerable number of them, feel the same interest with ourselves in a retrospect j of important political events in our history, we ‘ will devote another column of our space to "Troup and the Treaty,” The pacific termination of the controversy I afforded general satisfaction, as a matter of course. The State right’s inen every where sympathised with Georgia, believing as they did that she had experienced neglect and un-I just treatment at the hands of the general gov ernment. Borne of them expressed regret at the "impetuosity” exhibited by Governor Troup in his correspondence with the authori tiesof the United States, while at the same time, they were compelled to admit that there was inucli to excuse it in the provocation under which he acted. By the operation of cmsos, of which it is useless to attempt an explanation to the Vir ginia reader, the Creek controversy made a deep and lasting impression on the politics of Georgia, It gave rise to the Troup and Clark I divisions of parties which lor many years thereafter continued against each other the | fiercest contest for political ascendency. Af ter Governor Troup had voluntarily retired from the arena of politico, and General Clark had ceased to be an inhabitant of earth, the "Clark Ticket” and the "Troup Ticket” were still urged upon the voters at the ballot-box.— It did not appear, however, to persons residing out of the State, that the divisions between the contending parties originated in any important differences of opihiiln respecting the questions at issue between Gtbrgia and the general gov ernment; for upon the question of the validity of the Mclntosh Treaty, and the right of Geor gia to make the survey in anticipation of the departure of the Indians from the ceded terri tory there appears to have been a near ap proach to unanimity in the legislature and among the people of the State. The Troup and Clark parties, it always seemed to Us, were founded more on differences of opinion as to the merits of individuals, than u[a>n any well defined, legible principles of government. In the Presidential election of 1824,thevote of Geor gia was cast for her distinguished citizen, Wil liam 11. Crawford. But at that time, as at all othersduringbis politcal life, there was a strong party in the State in opposition to Mr. Craw ford. GoV. Clark, the leader of the opposition to him, was a man of extensive popularity, and ereat energy ami force of character. The leg islature had twice elected him Governor for a term of two years each, and, on his retirement, his friend Mr. Talbot was Ireaten but four Votes by Troup, the leader of the Crawford party.— The hostility between Mr. Crawford and Gov. Clark was of the mo«t uncompromising charac ter, originating In events that transpired many years before. At an early pcri'M of tbeir diffi culty there were hostile meetings between thefn, which resulted in the wounding of Ms. Craw ford. The difficulty was not adjusted, and each of them imparted to hie adherents some of his own personal feelings, and lienee the acrim onious spirit in which every canvass was con ducted between tbeir respective friends. Af ter the withdrawal of Mr. Crawford from ac tive political life. Governor Troup was regard- ed as the leader of his party in the .State. In 1824, the election ot Governor was taken from the Legislature and given to the people. Gov. Troun was a candidate for re-elevthm. and Gov. Clark his competitor. As already stated, the difference between the rival parties, in re lation to the treaty and the surveys, must have l<een immaterial; but the opponents of Gov. Troupelectioneeredagainsthim on the allegation that be had well nigh brought on a civil war l and a dissolution of the Union by his itnpuMre ( n«w. All matters in dispute, they insisted, would have been adjusted withootany disturb i anee of the peace of the country and without 1 any excitement of aay kind bed the Governor I of Georgia exhibited a Incoming Imper in ' his intercourse with the federal officials. The reader can form some idea of the bitter ness and exasperation between the parties by the following given at a dinner in Geor gia on the 4th of July, 18+6: By a leading Clack man—George M. Troup : May he receive wliat he deserves, the infamy i dire every iron who attempts to excite civil war ■ and destroy the Union. By a Troup man—-George M. Troup: May j I every hair in bis head be a standing army, and every word he utters a thundering cannon, to ' drive bis enemies to hell. The dinner party ended in a general fight! The sympathies of the friends of the Nation- ■ j al Administration were warmly enlisted in be- | | half of Governor Clark ; and Governor Troup i accused the Federal officers in his State, civil ! and Military, of participating actively in the i canvass as the partizans of the candidate pre- ’ sered by the general government. After a j tremendous struggle, Troup was elected by a ' little upwards of six hundred votes out of more than forty thousand polled. The Clark party succeeded, however, in securing the Slate Leg i islature; so that neither side could claim a i decisive victory. The Clark majority in the legislature Med their power to its full extent in rejecting their opponents from the offices . they held under the State government. But at the next election the friends of Troup car ried the Legislature, and retaliated on the Clark [»arty by taking from them every office lat the disposal of that body. Thenceforth the Troup party maintained its ascendency through ' the entire perils! of its organization. Both (.parties xup|a>rted the election of Jackson in 1828, and his re-election in ’32 ; but they could I 1 not unite on the same ticket of electors. The Troup Ticket and the Clark Ticket were the | i only ones heard of at the jxills in Georgia from I I 1825 to 183". After his retirement from the Executive 1 Chair of Georgia. Governor Troup was elected I Senator in Congress by a vote very nearly unanimous. He remained in that position till a tew months previous to the expiration of his [ term, when he resigned and retired to private life. No man of his day impressed himself so I strongly on the public mind of his section.— ' i The ardent State rights men of the South— ' those who a quarter of a century ago talked I ! about “ calculating the value of the Union”— I i recognised in him a leader worthy of their I I cause; one who would not stop to count the ! I cost to his State of w hat he deemed iudispuu- . sable to iu honor and indefienduuce. "Troup and the Treaty” and “Stand to your Arms, were used as party watch-words long after they i had lost their original signification. In 1852, the Southern Hights party—tiy ’ which was then understood the Democrats of' the slaveholditig States who refused to concur in the nomination of a “ national candidate" I for the Presidency—brought out Governor Troup for that office. Gov. Troup said he j would allow them the use of his name, but on- j ly with a view to the organization of their | party; and advised them to support Tierce, as ■ lie liiinself intended to do, with cordiality.— The Troup and Quitman Ticket received sever al thousand votes in Alabama, and a somewhat smaller support in Mississippi. Governor Troup never regretted his support ot Mr. Pierce as President. In the Summer of 1855, ! only a few months previous to his death, he wrote a letter in reply to one addressed hint by i some triends in Montgomery Alabama, in ' which be paid a glowing compliment to the j patriotism ami fidelity of that functionary, and l signified, in no equivocal terms, his desire to make the federal Union perpetual if its.gov i erument could be continued in the hands of I such men as those that held the reins. Gov. i Troup was denominated n Nnllifier, but he j was not one of the South Carolina school. He I never ranked among the friends of Mr. Cal i boun. On the contrary, the Presidential elec tors on the Jackson Troup ticket 1828, refused j to support Calhoun for Vice President when | every Jarkson elector in the United States j supported Jtim. Gov. Troup was a Secession ist, but was opposed to separate State action in the way of resistance to Federal aggression, so long as there was uny hope of concert and co operation on the part of the State aggrieved.

THE TIN PEDDLER AND SLEEPY DAVID. The following story extracted from the work, “ A Yankee among the Nullifiers,” purports to be told to another by a South Carolinian : The Yankees, as 1 said before, are apt to be too cute for us in everything but horse flesh, and even sometimes in that. It was this day three years ago, and on this very spot that I entered my horse Southern for a purse of two thousand dollars. He had won a like sum (the . year before with all ease. In short, he was the best horse at that time in South Carolina. There were to be sure, two other horses, and i very fine ones, entered against him, but they were no touch to Southern, and 1 was as sure of winning as I am sitting here this moment— when who should come along but a Yankee, ’ with a tin cart? He hail the shabbiest, worst looking horse I ever put my eyes on. He was a lean, slab-sided, crooked-legged, rough-hair ed “critter” as ever went on four legs. He stood all the time as if he was asleep—in fact his owner called him sleepy David, In short. ; sir, he was such a horse as would not have brought twenty dollars. It was near the hour of starting, when, the peddlar, whose exterior correspondended mar velousy w ith that of his horse, and who said bis name was Zadock Barber, to the astonish • meat of all, intimated a w ish to enter his horse j with the rest. “ Your horse! exclaimed I—“ what, that i sleepy looking devil there? You’d better en ter him for the turkey-buzzards.” “ Not as you knows on. Mister," resumed j the Y'ankee, with some show of spirit. “To lie sure the critter looks rather sleepy as he stands, and on that account I call him’ Sleepy David; but lie’s a jolfi’d smart horse tor all that. He's like a singed cat, a darned sight better nor he looks. 1 should like tarnation well to try him against some of your South Carolina horses. To be sure I don't come all the way from home on that purpose, but as I I was coming out this way on a load of tin and i other notions, I thought I might time it so as to kill two birds with one stone, for thinks I j to rnyseif if I can w in the purse and peddle off’ my notions at the same time, I shall make a plaguy good speck. But I had to hurry on like the nation to get here in time, and that’s I one reason why my boss looks so shabby and out of fix this morning. But for all that he'll I perform a day’s work, I tell you.” Supposing that he had no idea of running his j horse and that all he said was merely to grati | fy his pro|>ensity for talking, 1 bade him l>e i gone, and not trouble me with his Yankee pa laver. “ Why. mister,” said he, “ this is a free coun try, ami a man has aright to talk orletitalone, just as he can afford. Now I’ve taken a great 1 deal of pains to get here this morning, in order j to run Sleepy David agin some of your South- i ern hosses. I aint joking sir, I’m in airnest.— | ' I understand there is a purse of two thousand dollars, and I should like amazing to pick it Ul> '” . “Y on talk of picking up two thousand dol i lars with that bit of earrton of yours! I Away with you. and don't trouble us any tur . ther." •' Well, if 1 can't run. I suppose I can't ; i but it's darned hard anyhow tor a man to take i so much pains as I have to come up to the races. I and then can't run after all. ■ “It's too late now: by the rules of the course the horse should have been entered I yesterday; however if you’ll plank the en trance money, perhaps you may get in yet.” I said this byway of getting rid of the fellow. ! having no idea that he could command a fourth part of the sum required. " How much might the entrance.moiiey Ire?” i : drawing out a purse containing a tew shillings in silver and a few pence iu copper. "If taint more nor a quarter of a dollar or so, I'll plank it on the nail.” “ It is two hundred dollars.” “ Two hundred !” exclaimed the Y'ankee.— “By gauley what a price! Mby they axed me only twenty-firt: cents to see the elephent and the hull caravan in New Y’ork. Two bun dred dollars! Why you must be joking now —bless me! my hull load tin wares, hoss. wag on and all wouldn’t fetch that. But mister, don't vou think I could get in for ten dol lars?” “ Nothing short of two hundred, and that must be paid in five minutes.” We now thought we had fairly got rid of the fellow, but b« returned to the charge and asked if fifty dollars wouldn't do, then seventy, then a hundred, and finding he could not make a bargain for less than the regular stun, he en gaged to give it, provided be could find any one to loan him the money for which he could pawn his wagon load of notions and Sleepy David to boot. He asked one and then anoth er to accommodate him with the loan—declar ing that as soon as ever he took the purse the money should be returned, and he would give a dozen tin whistles in the bargain. He how ever got more curses than coppers, until some wag who had plenty of cash and liked to see the s|M>rtgoon, lent him the two hundred dollars ' out of sheer malice. Though it afterwards turned out, the Y'ankee had plenty of money about him, and was merely playing possom all the while. His next object was to borrow a saddle. In this he wa« also accommodated, and taking Sleepy David from the tin cart, he scrambled upon his back and took his station on the course. Y’ou never saw a fellow sit on a horse jso awkward in your life. Every one said he i would fall before he went a hundred yards— ! end some out of compassion urged him to with ! draw. “ Not by a darned sight," exclaimed he.— “Do you think I’m such a darned fool as to i pay two hundred dollars and then withdraw and not run ar ter all ? Others who wanted to see the sport thought | it would cost some broken bones, encouraged him to proceed, saying as they laughed aloud, they had no doubt but what he would carry off | the purse. “ That’s what I mean to do,” said he, “ain't : come here for nothing I can tell you. Wake up Sleepy David and look about you ; you must i have your eyes open to-day, it’s no time to be j snoozin’ when there is money at stake.” The horse, as if he understood what hie mas , ter was saying, pricked up bis ears, and actu i ally began to show’ signs of life. I The signal was given to start. Away sprang Southern, with the speed of lightning, and leav i ing Sleepy David farinthe rear and the peddlar ■ verging from one side to the other, as if he was just ready to fall off. t , But they improved as they proceed; the peddlar sat more jockey like, and the horse ev idently gained upon the others. It was now thonght the Yankee had enough j bf the race, and .would withdraw before the heat. Contrary so all expectations, however, I he persevereil, and offered to bet a thousand I dollars on the issue of the race. “ The fellow’s a fonl," said one. “He don’t know which sidA of his bread is buttered, or else he wouldn't bet any money on sb desperate a stake.',’ , He i« safe enough there,” said A third, “for j he has no money to risk.’’ Here, however, all were mistaken again for the pedlar hauled out a greasy old pocket book, I and planked the thousand dollars. It was cov ered of course. But I confess I now began to be staggered, and to suspect the Y'ankee »»« after all more rogue than fool. I had no fears, however, for the purse. Southern was not a horse to be distanced by such a miserable dev il as Sleepy David. The second heat was now commenced, and if I had before felt confident in the entire superi ority of my noble Southern, that confidence was strengthened as I again saw him coming in ahead of the rest I considered the purse as now my own property. In imagination I had grasped it and wns about putting it safely in my pocket when to! and behold the ped lar’s horse shot forward as if the devil had kicked him, and strei —ag Lis nwk like a crane, won the heat by a head. Everybody was astonished. “That horse must be the devil himself,” said one. “ At least he has the devil to back him," said another. “I was sure he would play some Y'ankee trick before he got through,” said a third. Such were the observations that passed from mouth to mouth. The Y'ankee in the mean time, offered to take another thousand dollar bet. but nobody felt disposed to bet with him. and it was well that.they didn’t for at the third heat Sleepy Da vid not only distanced every horse, but even came in a full quarter of a mile ahead of South ern himself. “ There, by gauley,” said the Y’ankee, as he i dismounted, “ I’ll take that ere little pnrse if you please, and the other cool thousand, tew! I knowed well enough that your Southern hos ses couldn't hold a candle tew Sleepy David."
