Oi eof these papers, the Standard of Union we believe, has even had tlm hardihood to intimate that the State Rights |>arty of Ge rgia, ate iti some way connected with the fanatical in ivemeuts at (he North; as we never sec this paper, we don't know that it Iras ever made a distinct charge to that effect. We presume not. Unscrupulous to regard to tru'h and decen cy as we have reason to believe that print, to 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 •n Georgia of eve.u the most remote partici pation in the designs of the accursed fanatics 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 mination to sustain nt every hazard'our con 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 |iroselytes to tbeir own; and who, for the sake of having a Van Burcn majority in Congress, would be willing to see tlie Sen ate and-Hall of Representntivcs occupied by furious and isguided fanatics.

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 coat, and ranked among deserters and rene gadpes. It is true he is a gentleman of easy conscience, and can readily accommodate hunsrlf to any dish of piinciples that may beset before him, but I apprehend that Maj.

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! can therefore ‘stay at home to make corn” to sell at Cxi CO per bushel, movided he cat) get it.

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. THE PRINCIPLKS’OF THF. STATE HIGH fS PARTY, FOREVER! A XOTHER A DM |.SSI ON !!! We last week noticed an article taken from t iie Savannah Georgian, under the 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 ME'.” We conceived it to be, in some 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 oorlant admission, particularly at the pre sent crisis. It conus, too, from “high au thority,” and demands irom bo'lt political parties, seriojs attention. 'J'lie extract is taken from the Richmond Enquirer. The editor of that paper says : “Wo intended to throw out this mo’ning. a few remarks 011 certain Constituiouai questions, which call for some notice.— (Hut we have no space or time.) Anton" these is the heresy recently revived by the N: Intelligencer, that the Federal Govern n cut “was created by the People" (the aggregate people of tiiis cauntrv,) “and not bv the Slates."

From■ the (Jtorgia Journal. 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 . hithertooccujiicd, and publicly sustained for 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 Rights | artv, since its formation, up to the 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 gia.

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 Imld thn : r piincipb s so' lightly, ant! *|n't 'hem off or on, at the will oftHe President. 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.
