metiliu popular approbation. We do not re
member to have heard it disapproved by De
mocrat or Whig. Its results were beneficial.
It arrested a policy calculated to perpetuate our
financial embarrassments, and was an advance
step to that restoration of public confidence in
the honest purposes of our State Government,
which was attained before the commencement
of the whig administration.
Who is flic Slanderer 1
The following article from the Savannah
Georgian expresses our views so well that
we adopt it as our own :
It is not to be forgotten that a senator in Con-
gress is to be elected by the next Legislature.
If tlie Whigs have the ascendancy, as a matter
of course, Judge Berrien will be re-elected.—
Why are their journals so silent upon ibis sub
ject I Is possible that the position of a Sen
ator in the halls of Congress can have become
so insignificant as to claim i.o interest at all in
comparison with the office of Governor ? Im
possible ! The Whig papers are silent from
policy. They dare not meddle with this ques
tion. The result of the last Presidential con
test in Georgia has frightened them out of their
w ts. They dare not even allude to the prin
ciples which they then sustained, and which
met the signal rebuke of the people. Hence
the spasm d c effort iliey are making to confine
the present contest to the gubernatorial quqs- |
lion, and to scrape up, from the dust of the j
pau, all the v.le vermin of scandal they can
discover, to injure Mr. McAllister. This will
not do at all, at all. There arc other candi
dates upon the turf besides McAllister and
Crawford. Trie people of Georgia arc called
upou to support Judge Berrien for the next
senator. Iiis character as a politician, and as
tnc leader of the Wing party of this State is
b.fore them. Let us glance at it for a mo
ment, a id let the voters of Georgia answer,
w«o tias com. roraised their charactei ?
There arc certain recollections connected
with lac course of lies prominent Whig in the
la<t President al campaign winch cannot, which
shonld not, b-: forgotten. They shoul I be
kept constantly before the eyes of the people
of this Slue. They should be stereotyed in
nor pubic prints They should b- brought to
notice a every pnpul«r assembly. Let tticm
ling u the •trila's i to the ocean! Lot
ears tnat have heard of them once, hear them
again ! Let no in m in Georgia be kept in the
dark hj to tie ir nature !
For the present we refer to the conspicuous
pa t this genii.-man enacted at the great mass
meeting of the WnigJ of Massachusetts in the
eity of Boston, on the 19 h Sept. 1844. We
have our information from the Bus'oi Drily
Advertiser, an orlhordox Whig paper. It tells
us that at an early hoar of that eventful day,
which w *s to witness the humi'iation of our own
Georgia, in the queen city of N »v England, a
procession was firmed—*tn w'iich it seems
so ue of the reciemt sons of the South united.
1< is n it t > he questioned that the senator from
Georgia w.is there, and marched in rank with
lus Federal associ-tes'. Ba. net's waved above
their heads, hearing inscriptions I ke thi-3 “No

lWn l Webber j»iraided over the meeting.—
In a spe ch full of Federal principles, breath
ing throughout tho spirit of sectional pol.cy, re-
•V-te with arguments in favor of» prut* c'ive ta
riff", etc., we meet vfitb the following rem irka-
able language :
r * I for me say, gcfit lenTcn, tint under the
present circumstances, I give' my vote hearti
ly for Mr. Clay, [ cheers] and I so give it, be
cause—-among other things, lie is against t'.e
annexation of Texas, and I woul 1 not give it
if he was no*. With o'lier opinions of his, 1

oj African Slarery, and the tvramn’y of
RACE OVER nx-CK UPON THIS CONTINENT, and
fflElETiiU, / will have nothing to do with
it." [Cheers.]
These sentiments, proceeding from the enn-
trolli spirit of ihe F«dcnd party of the
North, so mil of iiitter feeling, of ruthless preju
dice, and so insulting to tire slave-holding people
o! the Souili, fell upon the ears of one of their
pruinine *t Representatives.' The Whig Sena
tor frm Georgia was tile re. He sat beneath
tile coll (lishof Webster’s eye. He heard,
word by Word, what fell from his lips. Were
tae question asked of any Georgian, whose
Iteart yet glows with a spark of devotion to his
n itive State—wli.it should ouf' Senator have
done!—he could but exclainr—«“what should
he h .ve dune! Why, he should have left the
netting at once. He should have come out
from among them forever, and shaken the dust
from his feet. He should have felt personally
insulted, in the insult cast upon- his State, nud
the people who sent lihrr to the halls of Con- 1
gress !”
What course did he pursue?
The Advcrtis r goes «>n to inform us, that af
ter concluding bis remarks, Mr, Webster, “in.
trod ic 'd ill Hon J. M. Berrien as a distin
guished member of the Senate of tire United
Slates, from the State of Georgia”—There
upon,
“Mr. Berrien said lie had come in obedience
to the r call, from a distant home, to share in
the deliberations of this clay. He had come to
bear to Whigs of the North, the cordial greet-
ings of the Whigs of Georgia, and To say
FROM THEM, THAT THEY WERE ANIMATED AVITII
THE SAME SPIRIT AVHICII BEAT IN THE BOSOM OK
THOSE AT PRESENT BEFORE HIM.”
Gracious Heaven! was there ever such a com*
promise of the honor and dignity of our State
before ? Find the page of history that record's
it! It would have been bad enough had an
Ordinary citizen of Georgia used this language
to an assembly of men, who, but a moment be.
fore, had cheered Webster in his assault upon
her character ; but proceeding as it did from
ored sons, it was enough to have made every
cit zen of Georgia drop his head with burning
shame. The election is over ; Henry Clay is
defeated ; the idol to whom such sacrifices were
made, is low in the dust ; but conduct like this
can never be forgotten.'never, never !

what of good lie has ee‘ , *>*«d tn the nat on by

TEXAS.
Last year when the Democratic party, line
the gallant Macdonald at the battle of Wagram,
bore upon i s single brave heart the destinies
of the “ Empire”—when treason against the
South was upon the lips of almost every North
ern whig—when a foreign power was openly
invited :o plant her iron live! upon our soil and
scatter her vile emissaries like dragon’s teeth
over tho land—wh^u even tlie Southern name
itself was dsgraced by catching up the base
echoes of Nortncin politic ans against Texas—
we warned the people of Georgia against the
atrocious des ; gns of the oppunents of annexe- \ ‘ n tl,e promotion of which the humble worm of

bear witness in the face of tlie whole nation and
of n wide world, that as a fallen soil of Adam
his only hope of salvation and eternal life was
founded in the blond add the Antoucracnt cf

. . -v- .i ir .ll .u . i I the du.-,t is honored to Leconte a co worker
tiun at the North. Wo told them that slaver// \ ... . , .. . r . ,
, , , o / i with JesOs Gnrist, and with the Great God
was the re-<l grounds of objection there, to the
annexation of Texas. For this we were de-
nounevd by the whig organs of Georgia as sec- 1
tional and contracted in our views, us “ uisu-
nmnists” and enemies to tlie national peace,
and foes to muon al order. To show our
readers how far we weie r-ght in the warnings
wc then gave them, we subjoin tho following
disgraceful urticlo from the Albany Evening
Journal, one of the most widely circulated and
influential whig papers in the S;a e of NeV/
York. The people* will juJgc for themselves.-
We commend it to the Messenger and the au-'
thors of the whig circular signed by Senator
Berrien and others upon tho nv« of the Octo
ber elections last year. Skillud ns they tue
in political dialectics they can scarcely recon
c>le tho charges of the one, with the confes
sions of the other.- Here it is :
“ But war in the aspect that it comes, if it
comes now, has with all its iiorrois, one re
deeming feature. It will abolish slavery !—
Yes, a War to protect Slavery will terminate
its existence. Our enemies will know where
we are ino.->t vulnerable. They will strike
where our defences are weakest. The slave
now knows how his own ‘iborty is to be achie
ved, and "ill not, as in our past wars, be found
driving rivets into bis chains - . England, when
she sets her hostile Joot upon < ur soil again,
will proclaim freedom to the enslaved. And
the slave accepting the boon, will stand by the
side of his deliverer, fighting jor the ransom oj
his race.
“Let the Suuili, then, for the sake of Slat cry,
plunge us into war about Texas; or lei Presi
dent Polk, by Ids silly flourish about O egon,
bring us into collision, with England, at their
peril f It will cost the North much blond and
treasure. But the retribution-—the just retribu
tion cf the South, will be appalling. Let them
wantonly provoke war, ifttiey will, in full view
ofi-is responsibilities.”
While we have no fears ostathe course - the
patriotic musses of the people at the North any
more than the South will take in any such coit-
kngency as that to which' the Journal alludes,
we have reasons to thank God that the des
tinies of this great country are not in the hands
of any sach cravens as the Journal ard its par.
ty at the North have shown themselves to be.
The country is in safe keeping nuW, ano will

If skill in finante were the guardian of liberty, the 'Roths
childs are better fined to govern us than Jefferson, Madi
son, or Monroe who were not Schoolmaster* enough to

lal dollar.”
I should be disposed to bm-eve diat die whips offer us
diis insulting argument in favor of Mr. Craw'Ll*:, kflovr:”
it lo be an insult—but relying on our ignorance and love ol
money—trusting in Sir Robert XV81 pole's maxim that all
T?T” ''*” price—did I not reflect that thdir wfmle po
litical faith is in money arid nwmay l ><>wer. Are millions
to be squandered of tlie people's money?—their “school-
masters"' are set to ciphering out the profits lo speculators,
spimiing-jeniiys, and trading po’-ticians, whereby votes may
be secured lo make tlie riel, richer and tlie poor poorer—
is a bunk lo be established or sustained? ils profits are the
only arguiuenls—is il to be pulled down as a foe to liberty?
the loss in dollars and rents is fig*,red out!—is some na
tional right lo be acquired or defended? in.-iead of an array
of bayonets we are met by a platoon of pencils figuring out
“lhe expense."
Is excellence and wisdom in political scienc- lo be esti
mated ? ii is done with n Boston yardstick or a count of
Lowell spindles witness the abominable piece in the ’•Mes
senger” of S4th July, taken from tlie Algerine print.* the
Providence Journal,” advising tlie people of Geoigia tn
range themselves along side of Massachusetts instead of
Virginia in the nothing election between Crawford nnd Mr.
McA'llister! anrl because wli\? Because Massachusetts
has made money and thereby improved her condition so
much las'er than Virginia!—when every intelligent man at
tlie 5outh knows that the wealth of Massachusetts is from
the plundered South—that we have built up her looms and
her spindles, atid iier populous cities—none so foolish ns to
credit it to tier barren soil. By the law of Sparta dexter
ity in theft was a murk ot excellence worthy of public favor
—if tliis law is to be revived, Massachusetts lakes p -cce-
dence of Virginia Tlie editor of the “Messenger” knows
if the Algerine does not, that the labor of our slaves for
which we are so much slandered by the whinnig pharisees
of Massachusetts sustain her commerce and manufactures,
by which alone site lias her wealth. And are we asked,
and tha* by a Georgia editor, to take for our guide this onm-
munity_ of traitors and snivelling abolitionists? a State
whose peof le were so lost to every sentiment that ennobles
into as to refuse to let a single man march from her bo-dels
tor defend the rountry during the last *Xar, w hen that coun
try was bleeding at every pore, when a proud, insulting foe
was burning our towns, ravaging our coasts, and holding
us up to the ridicule of tlie wort*I as a nation of cowards
who h.-ul suffered a handful of their men to burn our capi
tal—a State so filled with traitors and British lories as to
pet up the Hartford Convention and plot treason against
theirowii bleeding country in th*- hour oflier greatest dan
ger—an hour when England was sending to our shores the
conquerors of Napoleon—an hour when a kindred Conven
tion of tyrants at Vienna were consulting whether they
should unite their arms to b’nt us from the list of Nations
Every patriot who lived nnd now liviis to remember that
gloomy day knows that nothing deterred tlif Rifgpnrs from
passing tire resolution and making tlie effort but the daunt
less front nnd high resolve ol the little hand of Democrats
whom /hour. Massachusetts was plotting to destroy!
Ami thitf?s*he State Georgia is railed upon to imitate!
her glorious deeds of tlie Revolution are to sanrtily her
subsequent Treason! XVe mav next look for a eulogy on
Benedict Arnold! People of Georgia! do' you want any
better evidence of the sympathies which pervade the XX'hig
