Why i* it, that the Editors of the Vac,

their readers that Dorr, the defeated Dcm
Drrutic candidate in Rhode Island, is a fii
rious abolitionist, and one of the principal
officers of the New England Anti Slavery

fact, that Judge. .Uorton the Deinociatic can

of the ri’itoriiius Dr. Duncan, the Dnnocraiic
Representative in Congress from the State

These things require an expianatinn,- par
ticularly when these sail t* papers lor a long
linp pa't, have been sedulously ertgage.l in
endeavouring tp prove a coalition betwren

we entertain no sentiment in common with
the Whigs <if the North, unless it be a de
-iic to see the Government restored 10 its
first principles, wo cannot help feeling indig
nant at the shameless manorr in which the
vile slander is continued to he published,
solely for the purpose of producing political
effect in this State. Oi eof these papers,

don't know that it Iras ever made a distinct

Unscrupulous to regard to tru'h and decen

be, it could never dare to put forth so bold a
falsehood, only by insinuations and innuen
does. Come however from what source
and iii w lmt s' ape it may, we hull back the
fool slander, and pronounce its author, a liar
and a miscreant. We have always cheetfully
acquitted the body ol the Van Burcn party

and believe that upon t! is subject, we are
all fit inly and indissolubly united, and that
in respect to it, but one common sentiment
pervades our people, and that is, a deter

stitutional rights, l’ut we do unhesitating
ly condemn lh<‘ reckless and wicked spirit o*
those, wlvo labor to affix the damned sin,
upon all other parties, in order to make

Whoever is author may he, he is a Scholar
and a Republican. I’should be pleased to
see more of Ids peiccs; but he has certainly
fallen into an error in relation to one of the
candidates running on the Van Buren ticket
in' this county. That individual is Major
Thomas J. Stell. His political position was
certainly hot understood by Madison, e'se
he would not have been set down as a turn

gadpes. It is true he is a gentleman of easy
conscience, and can readily accommodate
hunsrlf to any dish of piinciples that may

During a conversation with him, I ?skcd
mm his reasons lor turning his coat. Stell
replied, that his ‘‘reasons foi so doing were,
that he had two very important c ses pending
in the Superiot Court, in this county, that it
w as tite most important time w itii him he had
ever experienced, and ilia, his Union I lends
had promised to sustain him, provided he
would become their candidate." lie was
then asked, “Imw roultl men sustain him, and
vet act corrccily as Jurors'" His reply
was, “that if he con Id gel clear o' his cases,
and get it off on their shoulders, and get the
money in his pocket, they all might go to
Hell, as he intended to go lor his own inter
est hereafter.” Upon ocing aski and, “if be
had not turned his coat uric before,” he re
plied, -‘that he had in Troup county, that
lie lost friends by it, and th it lie expected to
make a Cooper case of this.”

Messrs Editors —l will trouble you once
more, and the 'nst time, for the purpose of
noticing tin* Van Burcn candidate for the
Senate, Dr. Catching. Jdo so in order to
(kill lire attention of the citizens of the coun
ty to some of the charges 1 |>re.erred against
* im last year, and wlrch were made “sour
-es of detraction t gainst him," w hich he
has not noticed in his defence, either to de
nv or endeavor to palliate, aid I ['resume,
by his silence in relation to them, he gives
Ins assent to the truths therein contained.
One, to which I allude, is the offence ol
parading tiie camp ground la-1 year, wRh a
great club in his hand, cursing at (I dan n ng
in a most ridiculous manner, and insulting
gentlemen within hear ng of the stand du
ring divine exercises, b iiig aware that the
sanctity of the place would l*e his protec
tion. This charge tv -s ihs;ii.ct'y brought
against the gi inb man la°t year, yet lie lias,
not thought proper to give it a passing no
tice, or in any wise a| ohigi.se to ihe great bo
dy of clt istians whom lie had liius insulted
by Ins uneivihz' (I and i ngentlemanly eon
duet. Now, l would ask of cm ry follower
of Christ if such conduct can receive their
approbation at the ballot-box? Are yon dis
posed to countenance a man w ho w ould thus
trample tour rights utid<*r his :e t. and vio
late ih<* sanctity of the place w ith Ins profan
ity and wickedness? Will you sutler yot r
selves to he Id into the support of a man
who would endeavor to disturb tite peac
that should always jirevail at a camp me; t
ing,and toiget it lorever, without receiving
any -apologv from the offender? I third
not. Your votes at the ballot-box will leh.
Another charge, of the same nature, that
he havtln ugltt proper to pass over minoticeo
is, that he visited that eaui|) gmutid for the
sole pttrj’Ose of electkontu riti», and altho’
he was petfeclly aware that it was against
the established rules of the encampment,
that no ardent or intoxicating liquors should
he brought near it, yet. for tie purpose of
carrying out his designs, a dinner was pr<‘-
l>ared on Sabbath ol tite meeting near the
ground, where men wen* imfied to partake
with the assurance that they had the “truck
to wet their whistles." Toes the Dr. con
sider this a light and trifling accusation, uti
worthy of notice? [ presume lie does, as
he seemed lo think the rulesaml regulations
of the encampment were not worthy of no
tice. and I’m re fit re might he via l ; led with
impunity. But In# should bet; light lhis
lesson, that he who would dare to violate the
established rules of Christianity, and trample
upon the lights of the worship] ers of God,
without offering an apology, or endeavoring
to palliate his offence, can never receive their
countenance and support.
The* tell him on Monday next as he was
told on the first Monday in October la-t, that
he is unworthy the support of freemen am!

THE GOVERNOR’S ELECTION!
The period is rapidly approachiug when
a successor to our present chief magistrate
will be selected by the people, and if we
are allowed to express ot:r views with re
gard to the result, based as they are upon
information received through respectable
sources from every section of our State.
defeat is the im v iiable fate of Judge Mc-
Donald, the “Democratic” candidate for
Governor. The hope that wre have hitherto
entertained of Judge Dougherty being elec
ted Governor, is now reduced almost to
certainty, and w « hail the near opproaeu ol
the first Monday in October, with feelings
of a xiety free from all despondency, and
characterized by emotions of pleasure.—
Our opponents are not blind to their true
condition. They are well aware of tlie ad
vant tge bestowed upon us, in consequence
of their unfortunate nomination of an in
dividual whose political course has identi
tied him with the name and character of a
Federalis’, and they have industriously
sought to avoid any contest through the
press that would lead the people to investi
gate the political history of their candidate
for Governor. They have been prudent in
pursuing this course, for such an investi
gation wou'd littcffy demolish even their
liopis, faint lit -ugh tl.ey be. But all this
will not do. Onr population is too en
lightened to be led, even by party feelings
into the support of those whose principles
are subversive of our Republican Govern
ment, and who, if allowed to put their due
times into practical operation, would change
onr present form of Go> i t urnout into one of
a Monarchical kind. Republican simplici
ty has lost its inf! .dice over some of the
leading politician* ot the present day. There
is nothing grand in Republicanism. It is
too simple, too plain. They would prefer
that there United Slates , in pit ee of being
‘free, sore re in n, and independent," should
he one grand nation—that it should be
governed by a Congress—that the majority in
that Congress unrestrained by the provisions
of a-written inch ament, s ould make laws
for the government t j the v hole—and that, in
all eases of dissension an the part ts the ma
jority, the Supreme. Court sh utd be the ar
biter---that its thiis on should be enforced,
even at the bayonets point, arid that the m>
norly howevr oppressed must tamely sub
mit. The people have already, nt the polls,
declared that individuals entertaining such
principles and holding to such doctrines
should tint “rule over them.” Hence, op
posed as .I mlge Doit'Bmrty is to the doc
trines of high toned Federalism, he will
receive the warm support, not only of his
party, hut of every true Republican in
Georgia. The opposition to Judge Mc-
Donald is based principally upon his ad
hcrencc to Federal, principles, and his at
t ichinrnt and devi tion to the cause of Mo
Van Btircrt. Upon both grounds lie met its
defeat. Georgia lias twice declared that
Mr. Van Btireii is hateful to her people. --
The opposition dire not deny it, and
consequently the press tha* should upon
principle .supjiort their candidate for office,
fly the track” and (with a few honorable
excejitions) seize ii| oil every hobby that they
conceive will in Jin me the j nhlic mind against
Judge Dougherty. The Flournoy Petirton
lias been rode lo death. In their en
deavour to create an impression unfitvor
iDie to Judge Dougherty they have led the
peojile to e quire into this matter for them
selves, who are perfectly satisfied that Judge
Dougherty did not, as was charged, up,,),
him. sign the petition and ir ended in a to
tal failure to produce the effect designed.-
Taking every thing into consideration we
again assert our conviction that Judge Mc-
Donald will be defeated, and that Judge
Dougherty will be triumphatly elected.---
Flic State Rights Party should lie vigilar t
to attend the polls. Nothing should keep
them at home on tite day of (lie election,
for our opponents are on the alert, and wiil
strain every nerve to succeed in electing
their candidate. It is tlicit last, pester
ate, effort, and we are confident that thev
will be met and defeated Georgia Jour
nal.

We last week noticed an article taken

head, “Let georgiims be united,” in which
the cdt'ors ol that (taper said, that “events
have proved” to their satisfaction, “that
State Rights men were good Umon

measure, an admission on the part of the
Conductors of that press, that State Rights
men had not heretofore been justly dealt
with, and that their patriotism had been un
justly questioned. We have now to pre
sent to our readers another extract which,
though not from the same paper, nor upon
the same subject wo conceive to bean im

CHARLES DOCKiHERTYr <* v -
OUlt NEXT GOVERNOR.
The ur animitv of action that has hither
to characterized the State Rights Party,
will, we are confident, on the first Monday
in October next, he so displayed, as to
make our opponent? feel their weakin s ,
and kww our strength. Indeed, the fact
that Slate Rights men are called upon
to support the election of an in ividtial
whom they have nominated :ts their i a di*
date for Governor, is sufficient of itself to
rally to the (rolls tite great body of the
party, but wlie.i we add to this, that s?ill
greater inducement, that the individual
whom the party has nominated is one of
its wannest, and most talented members,
one that has tindergbn the abuse aid j er
secution of our political adversaries in davs
that are past and gone, on account of the
ability, zeal and ji mness with which he
maintained our principles, we cannot for a
moment doubt that the united energies
of ilie parly—-yea the whole party, will he
brought to bear upon the next election, and
that Judge Dougherty will have no reason
to complain of luke-warmness on the part,
of those with whom it has been his privi ege
and delight for many years to act" The
Slate Rights Party, in the ensuing contest,
have many advantages over the Van Butrin
Patty, and particularly in this, that they
are supporting candidate for Governor,
w hose political principles ate now what they
were when the party was formed, or, in
other words, i either the partv, nor.lodge
Dougherty, ha l e ever receded from, or ad
vocated other principles, save those put forth
by them, as their political ( re, and, in 1833.
How is it with the opposition? Not only
in this State, bat in almost every section of
the Union, the Van Boren Party, if we are
allowed to Judge l>v the course which th. h
prt ss ii iu*t i Misly ;n 1 vigorously pursue,
h,,ve abandoned their opj o.t ion to State
Rights, and many of them, within the bor
tiers of our own State, as loudly advocate
our political creed, as though Lev were al
ways members of the State Rights Party.—
Like unto the ‘wolf iu sheep's clothing*’
they would fain make us believe that they
are. what, they arc not. With this view of
the case we again assert that we have many
advantages over onr political atlversari* s.
The principles of Judge McDonald, it is
well known, are adverse to the doctrines of
.LfiVrsoii. For instance, he has been, and.
we presume, is now, a warm supporter ol
the principles promulgated by General
Jackson in his notorious "•proclamation ;”
and yet, there is scarcely a Van Bttren press
to be found, whose editor will hazard the
fate of Judge McDonald’s election by open
ly advocating his claims to support on this,
once popular, but ram) totally abandoned,
ground. The sum and substance of the
matter is. we have the advantage of onr op
ponents in this. They profess to be re
publicans, and act otherwise, for Judge
Me Donald is an avowed Federalist—'l hey
know it. and yet they would palm him upon
the people ,»f Georgia as being sound in his
political creed
The State Rights party play no such
game.' Hottest in their purtxises, acting
for the good of the country, and firm h.
their principles, they seek not u» nliud the
people by running, ns their candidate for
Governor, (’harles Dougherty. They (dace
the late of his election, upon the broad
ground ofltis being a Jeffersonian Repulrti
e/in. i lint he has ever been otherwise, Ins
opponents can never, with nil their research
into his pnyt political life, make appear
Undoes not appear before the people as a
political weathercock, abandoning position .

the gratification of ambitious propensities,
but basing his claims o sin,port as the r< |>
fesontative of a party nit ise tip to is * State
Rights and Slate Remedies,•' h ■ submits
bis fate into the hau ls of his countrymen.
And who will prove recreant cn the dry of
trial? Who will fail to attend the polls,
that bears the hnnnre ! appellation of being a
State Rights Man, and shrink Irom rite
support, the active, uncompromising sup
port, oi Cirules Dougherty? We trust
that there are none —no, not one. When
we call to mind tite histmy of the State

present period; amt when we reflect upon
the distinguished position which Judge
Dougherty has always occupied iu that
pu fy : the talented and ejjicit nt manner in
w hich he has always sustained its doctrines.
and advanced its interests-, his moral worth,
hi.s high attainments, and his useful life,
wr are irresistibly compelled to banish from
our minds the slightest doubt of bis rri
nmphant success. Let but the State Ri ins
party be, as they have always been, true to
their candidate, and, as the “signs of tlm
times" Portend, we. shall hail Charles
Dougherty as the next Governor of Geor

“Retrenchment ” —lt cannot have been
forgotten by the American people that du
ring Mr. Adams’ Administration, a great
outcry was raised by tlto.s;* who wished to
get the government, into tiieir mvu hand-,
against the extravagance of the Admmis
tration. The people were told and made to
believe that the various departments .it
\v ashingtou and tiie Custom Houses in
New York, Philadelphia and other cities,
were filled with mere drones who did noth
ing but live upon their substance. A com
mittee 011 “Reuenchment and Reform” was
raised in the House of Representatives, and
one also in the Senate, for the purpose of
examining the various Executive offices at
Washington, and reporting what clerks
might be dispensed with, and w hat ex| coses
might becurtailsj. The Committee of the
House made their report to May 1828, ami
slated that “by a judicious system of ic-I
lorn,” at least “ONE '1 fIIKD OF THE !
CLERKS ! \ THE DEPARTMENT a
MIGH i 1 BE REDUCED WITH SAFE
TY’ I’O THE PUBLIC INTERESTS.”
And on the 2?th day of February, 1-29,
only four days previous to the inaugural
speech of Gen. Jackson, in which he de
clared that “the recent demonstration of
public sentiment had inscribed on the list
of Executive duties, in < haraf-ters too legi
ble to be overlooked, the task of Rkvorm,”
the same by their chairman. Gcu'l. llami'l.
ton, ot Suuth Carolina, reported to the
Mouse the following resolution: tiesblved.
That this House has a right to expect that
the Executive will submit to Congress, atits
next session, a compyehrneu e scheme ot Rk
im'chmkxt, which shall extend to tin
lapping off of all. the use] res officers, and of se
I'urmg a more effective accountability in those
which .ire retained/’
Did the Executive, at the next session, or
ever thereafter, submit to Congress, -a ,-oni
preicnsivt scheme ff retrenchment?" Were
anvol those officers which the committee
pronounced useless" ever lopped off?”
Weie Uie clerks in the Departments ever
reduce! one. third," as the committe- in
formed the country could be done ' with
,safoty to the..-pobltc interests-?’* 'These
questions will be best answered by the fol
lowing.

Subskrviknct. — Mr. Senator
I allmadge, wbile in attendance on Court
•it Tioga, in New Votk. during tiie last
week, was invited to address a 'Whig"'Con
vention in session there. In the couiseof
his remarks, he made the following exposi
tion which is published in the Ou t go Adver
tiser. V Idle it does honor so the intreoeu*
deiiec ofthe Senator, it presents a revolting
picture ol the subserviency *ol those who

It affords a practical example of the “passive
obedience” avowed lately a Van Buren
candidate for Congress in Mississippi, who
stated that much as he was now in favor of
the soli Treasury scheme, if the President
were to renounce, if he would renounce it,
too. This goes a step even beyond the ed
itor ol the Richmond Enquirer, who, to be.
sure, maintains Ids opposition to the sub-'
Treasury, .1 measure which from the vast
moneyed power, it plat es in the h inds of
the I xecutive, he. declares to he “dangerous
to a Republic,” yet supports the man who
