The Mote-. Telegraph rs. iim ernar Lumpkin. —The Ma
con Telegraph, a pa|ier which lias been warmly support
ing Governor Lumpkin during his administration, seems
Rt last to have discovered what we expected the Editor
had long since found out, for we are acquainted with the
gentleman and always believed him a man of some de
cemment, and we arc glad to find that lie possesses too
a share of political honesty, for however devoted he may
be to the Gov. as a man, ho lias conic out boldly against
the Governors Change Bill Law, and says that the idea
of the laws giving silver change a more extensive circu
lation is preposterous, and it will be recollected that the
charge is onlv against Governor Lumpkin for this w*as
his ow n idea, and one of his ow n reasons for recommend
ing the passage of such a law to the legislature. Well
done Doctor, we believe your position correct and your
reasoning good upon this subject, and we join you in your
appeal to the next legislature to repeal the law, rren
lhc t; : i Gar. Lumpkin did recommend its We
find it deeply effects the ii terests of the poor people who
are not able to sand to banks for specie whenever they
may want it, and who are unnb'.s to lay up the change
bills and do without the use of them until they can send
them.

.Vaj. Crawford. —We had expected before this time,
that tile political enemies of this gentleman, would have
given some reasons for their opposition to him, for the
office for which he is a candidate. We did not believe
there was a man in Georgia, in this day of political fer
mentation, that could have come forward for the highest
office within the gift of tin people, whose conduct through
lif., uad been such that would have stood the test ol the
most ecruliniieing investigation before his political ene
mies, and against whom so little would have been urged,
and against whom so little has been said as against Cra
wford. during an eight months struggle which will soon
be terminated, tie is known to be a Jeflbrsonian Repub
lican; an open advocate for the reserved rights of the
stat s; an independent, bold and unflinching supporter ot
the rights of individuals as well as communities, and one
in whose hands his bitterest enemies has not, will not, nor
cannot deny, thcadministrationofthc Government woulu
be p. rf.-ctly safe, and one too if elected that will not so
fir degrade the dignity oftlie state, as to stoop to the so
licilatioi of potty apjiointments from the general Govern
ment to promote the interest of the party to which he is
attached, un ike tile p.escnt incumlient ha will not send
out his regular lists containing the names of applicants
for tee appointment of Post masters with his Excellency’s
roco un ndution, he will not insult the people by turning
loose upon society the convicts of the penitentiary until
they have made legal atonement for the violation of your
laws. He will not openly and w ilfully violate the consii
tu’ion and laws of your country by makeing appointment
expressly forbidden in those laws, and in that constitution,
lie will 1 never be found flinching from any call from any
branch of the general Government, he will not be for
nullification to day and against it tomorrow, he will not
come out for Ratification now, and oppose it hereafter,
ho will not change his course so often but that the most
ordinary mariner may at all times know where to find
him, and wliatis better than'all, we believe frotnourknow
ledge of his decision of character that lie will be unlike
Governor Lumpkin in an other particular, we believe that
if he docs not*’ apc Troup” as the Gov. has promised he
will not do, that his administration will so far ape that of
Traups that he will never shrink from responsibilities,
when it has to be done at the disgrace of the state, and a
prostration of those sacred rights oftlie people, which
under our form of Government, are under the care, and
management, of their chief magistrate, whose duty it is to
preserve them, fearless of consequences no matter how
sought, or how attempted to be taken from him, by any
power on earth, save that of the sovereign people.

fK>a ZWL WESTERN HERALD.
Fayetteville, Sept. 18, 1533.
Mr. Editor. —The Superior Court being
in session here, we have from persons in atten
dance from many parts of the state, news of the
most encouraging character. Ratification is
as-dead as a door nail, and the people, ready
and willing, to relieve the “ Superintendent of
the Mighty Workshop” ofhis vast carts. They
have found out that his “ qualifications are in
deed, like his agents er helps, “ ft-.v, feeble
ond wholly selfish.” In the ease < f Vann
against Bishop, tryed at Murray Superior Court,
three weeks ago, the validity of one ©film Go
vernor’s Grants come in question, about which
rumours have'been afloat, and Judge Vndcr
vood is said to have given Lumpkin a most
awful skinning, and the Grant was by the Codrt
and Jury set aside. This has effected his po
pularity very much. Indeed it appears that he
has turned and turned, until the people are tired
of him, and have resolved to help him make his
last turn on the first Monday in October next,
cut of office.
The people have also futind out that the re
publican candidate, his opponent Maj. Craw
fordjs the same consistent, patriotic Joel Craw
ford, who in 1813, relinquished his ease and
coinfort at heme, and pecuniary interest, and
volunteered his service* as a private soldier in
the Baldwin Troup; who was elected on the
march hy his fellow soldiers Lieutenant, and on
account of his qualifications, was shortly after
wards by General Floyd, made his aid; who
fchortly after, was at Auiousee, seen among the
bravest auJ foremost, in front of tho battle
- okmgkislifo an:! ad. in the p<r.he of his
country. They recollect that in tbathard taught t
battle he had his horse shot under him; and
again at Calebio, when our army was attacked
by superior numbers at the dead ol night most
furiously, and the brave wete falling last and
thick on every hand, they remember that Maj.
Crawford was again in the midst ot danger and
death, ably, fearlessly and bravely in the prompt
and faithful discharge of all the duties ol a sol
dier and able officer; where, tn the hottest ol the
action, his horse was again shot dead from un
der him. They have alsj learnt, that he is :r.e
same republican who subsequently, served them
so faithfully in Congress and in the Senate of
Georgia, and are determined lo reward him,
and thereby benelit themselves, by voting for
liinii and elevating him to the office of their
Governor; and whether we consider his past
services as tit qualifications, no man would bet
ter sustain the great interests of the state. The
people have also found out that the Governor’s
friends, and those who go to* Ratification, and
the Northern Federalists, are mighty thick; and
that they wish to abolish the Federal basis, that
they may free the black slaves, that they may
the more readily make white slaves. They
know that white labourers in the slave states,
gets double as high wages as they do in the
pretended free states, andean no longer be gul
led. They say that the poorest mans vote,
now counts as much as the richest in the state,
and they are satisfied. In a word, the people
are becoming as well informed as to their own
interest, as those who keep up such a cry about
tree white men, and are through design of no
good, pretendedlv so very much concerned
about poor men’s interests. Freemen whether
poor or rich, are sick of all that sort of stuff, and
are resolved not to ratify proceedings that give
40,000 persons, (he power to controul and rule
60,000 l'ree white men. Besides, they believe
that the late Convention did not do what they
sent them to Milledgevilie to do, that have made
our constitution worse instead of better. That
they have not upon just and equitable principles,
cither reduced or equalized their representation,
and hence they say, huzza—huzza for No Ra
tification, and for Crawford for Governor.
TORM THE RECORDER.
Mr. Lumpkin’s Public Services.
Mr. Lumpkin himself and some of his friends
have injudiciously stirred the question of his
public services. We are told forsooth by them,
that he made some speech in Congress, (Where
is ittobc found? Who else knows any thing about
it ?) m 1826 or 27 for enrolling speech that the
original idea of getting the Indians to emigrate,
came. Very original indeed! considering that
the very same idea was mentioned in the treatv !
made with the Cherokees in 1817—see the 3d ;
article of the treaty; and the very same thing
was recommended by President Monroe, in
IS24—see his message to Congress. What
an ingenious man Mr. Lumpkin was, to find
out a thing which was known before! And
what an ingenious man to claim for himself;
and suffer his friends to claim for him the hon
ours of others! See his namby-pamby dough
faced letter to the northern men, in reply to their
impertinent interference with the missionaries
—and see the Federal Union some 3 weeks
since. We are also told of the Governor’s suc
cess with the Cherokees. What succcs? Are !
the Indians gone? Are they going? Think
you, people of Georgia, if Troup had been Gov
ernor the last two years, that a single Cherokee
would now be in the State? Think you, if we
had had even any man of talent and energy in
the Executive, though not equal to Troup, that
Ross would now be in the nation, controuling
the Indians and preventing them from enrolling
and going off? Who believes it ? Then see
the reason why the Cherokees arc not gone.
Ross and his adherents know of what stuff
the “measureable obsolete” Governor of Geor
gia is made—and if Mr. Lumpkin is re-elected,
good-bye to all prespccts of the indians going
off—Mark this, all you who have drawn lots
with Indian improvements, or near whose lots
Indians live. The very knowledge oftlie fact
—the very name of the thing —tiiat a Troup or
a Crawford was Governor, would do more with
: John Ross and the Cherokees than all of Lump
kin’s nets for a twelve months
So much for the imprudent mention of Mr.
Lumpkin’s, public services,imprudent, because
it provokes examination. New let us see how
it stands : Mr Lumpkin’s public services,
against Mr. Lumpkin’s public disservices.
The people of Georgia little think that to him,
for one, they aie indebted for the whole of the
abominable Tariff system that fruitful cause of
so much trouble and distress in the whole
Southern country for the last 17 years—and of
so much ill blood and turbulence) with Nullifi
cation to boot) in South Carolina. If Mr.
Lumpkin was the influential man in Congress,
which he and his friends would have us to° bel
ieve, certainly his weight must have been felt
on the Tariff question as much as on the Indian
question—of course, for it’s a bad rule which
won t work both ways. Now'every one knows
that the Tariff act ot 1816—the very act which
introduced the odious minimum dutieson cotton
—was the father of the family—the father of all
the subsequent “ bills of abomination,” the Ta
riffs of 1824, 1828, 1832, for these are nothing
but the progeny of that parent. Will it be said
by|Mr. Lumpkin that this act was to raise neces
sary revenue for the government ? Why, it was
expressly avowed by the maker of the bill of
1816, in his speech upon it, that his object was
to give the manufacturers “permanent encour
agement,” to place them “ beyond the reach of
contingency.”—This was his language : and
Mr. Lumpkin heard that speech. llow stood
the vote of Georgia? Let us see. We then had
5 members.
For the Tariff —'\ ii.son Lumpkin,
£ a !'-. il.-John Forsyth, Thomas
Telfair, R. 11. Wilde.
A lato number of the Federal Union vouches
for his Excellency, that he is in favor of Ratifi
cation. We were both surprised and amused !
at the manner in which this announcement is
made. Surely the Governor’s versatility of
’ opinion drives hi.3 advocates into some singular I
positions. One would lmvo thought the I cd
eral Union would feel mortification enough in
announcing tins opinion of the Governor’s in
the face of thc avoVal he recently made—and
which they dare ‘not deny—-that the Convention
plan w as one ofgricvbus injustice and inequality.
It would reflecting mind, that the
Federal Union woflM have had its hands full, to
harmonize these most strikingly conflicting
sentiments. But as if deteimined to show off
(he Governor upon the very pinnacle of contia
dietions, they must inform their readers, that the
Governor is as much in fevor of Ratification,
notwithstanding his sense ot its injustice and
iuequalitv, as he is opposed to Nullification,
which he so ably advocated in his annual mes
sage. In the one case he says, “the proposed
amendment is unjnst and unequal; yet I am a
decided advocate of its ratification.” In the
other, he observes, “when burdens become
insufferable, the lime , the mode and the measure
of redress, are questions which must be deter
mined by those who feel themselves aggrieved;”
vet I am “decidedly opposed” to the “mystical
doctrine,’’that “the time, the mode and the
measure of redress must be determined by those
who feel themselves aggrieved.” But we, per
haps, ought to be the last to mourn over the
many quandaries, into which his Excellency’s
Proteus-like opinion must necessarily drive our
neighbors; it is perhaps enough, that we point
them out for the amusement of our readers.—
We have done.
To those of party, misled by false sugges- {
tions, or laboring undet unfounded fears, who
under the new cognomen ol Union ’1 roup men,
believe it behooves them to oppose the Troup
candidate for Governor, we would sav: be not
deceived by the interested arguments of those
who have abandoned their faith, or the idle
fancies of those who see objects of terror when
ever they look upon their ow’n shadows; be not,
we ash you, thus deceived, to an abandonment
of tour faith, and treason to the good old cause.
The great body of your brethren, no matter
what the difference of their speculative views,
have rallied: determined that come what may,
they can never forsake the good cause to which
they have been all their lives devoted, and that
if the republican cause must be overthrown in
Georgia, the latnl catastrophe shall not be laid
at their doors. The cause of Georgia may, for
aught you know, be in your hands; will you, for
reasons which w ill not bear scrutiny, betray that
cause into the hands of those, against whose
principles you have from infancy contended?
You will not—you cannot. You will not forsake
the old standard, but be found with the rest of
your brethren on the first Monday in October.
At a large and respectable meeting of the peo
ple of Gwinnett county, assembled at Johnston’s
Store on Yellow River on the sth inst. at which
John White, Esq. acted as Chairman, and
James C. Martin, Sec. of the late Conven
tion, the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted by a majority of four lo
one:
Whereas the people of this county, together
with the people of the other counties of this
State, feeling the grievous inequality of the
representation in the State Legislature, and
long sensible of the manv and great evils
resulting from tho unwieldy number of the
Legislature, did elect and send delegates to a
Convention, which was held at Milledgevilie on
the Ist Monday in May last, for the purpose of
equalizing and reducing the representation: and
for as much as the delegates forming that Con
vention, failed to answer the end for which they
were convened; and for as much as they did
travel out oftlie rule of conduct prescribed for
them by the known will of the people, and also
by an act ofthc Legislature of 1832
It is therefore, by us Resolved, That we do
most sincerely disapprove of the proceedings of
said Convention as subversive of the best
interests of this section of the State, and dis
tructive of that equality of representation so
genial to the existence of a republican govern
ment.
Resolved, That we will do all in our power
to arrest tho evil, by endorsing on our tickets
“NO RATIFICATION.”
Pull ahead my hearties! —The good ship
Georgia, has proved herself thus far, an excel
lent seaboat; and we doubt not, will ride out the
j October gale as well as that fine old shipwright,
I Oglethorpe, vho laid her keel, could himself
| have wished.—She may sometimes lurch a little
i and ship a sea,but she never fills nor founders;
she always rights again. Some few ofher offi
cers who have never got their sea legs on, and
know little ofhertrime; and less of navigation,
in these latitudes—some of the Clarko—Lump
ko—Ratico—Proclamation men, may indeed be
washed overboard, oi may “ drop oft',” as she
rolls and pitches; but they are so “ few and fee
ble” that the old seamen say they can well en
ongh be spared. Better hands can be shipped
in their stead at the port now just ahead. We
are standing on the starboard, that is, the right
tack, & have a fine breeze abaftthe beam, blow
ing fresher and fresher; ail hands are piped to
quaiters, and every man ready to his duty. We
shall soon get out of the Lumpkin fogs; we
shall leave the Consolidation keys, Cape Coal
ition, and the Ratification breakers well to the
leeward.’ Keeping the helm hard- -a—wea
ther, we shall make the head lands of State
lights, and sail into Port Constitution all stand
ing, in handsome style a little past mcredian on
the 7th of next month. So says our log book.
Accounts from various quatters arc indeed
most cheering. “All looks well,” says one.
“We are booming on,” says another. “ The
old Rat” [Ratification,] hasgotthedispepsy,(or
dropsy we can’t make out which, from the
crumpt manuscript,) and will kick after
7th of next month. A little working man iu his
working deaths if we may so infer from his lit
tle soiled letter on a leaf of a blank hook, tells
us it is a tight race between Lumpkin and Rati
fication. “We can’t tell here,” savs he,
“which runs down hill fastest.” How can they
distinguish, wo would ask, as they are running
; together. They all seem to hold in Col. Crock
ett's injunction, “go aboard for every written
and verbal accounts indicates high spirits and a
determined purpose to rave the-State; and
above all, they evince that ready alacrity and
cheerful confidence which is the surest
plcdgo of success. Let then, all hands take
hold and give—not a long pull; matters are now
in so good a way that a long pull is not needed;
but a short pull, a strong pull, and, especially, u
pull all together. VYc are perfectly willing that
our adversaries should set this all down an idle
boast; indeed we would prefer they should do
so, if they will favor us with a postscript on the
tenth of October.
A gentleman of very general acquaintance,
just from an extensive summer tour through the
upper counties, whose judgment and means ot
correct infoi matron are equal to any in the State,
sends the most gratifying intelligence. He
says,“ the prospects are far better than I had
even hoped. An united action will carry -our
candidate for Governor, a majority of both
branches of the Legislature, and reject the pro
posed amendments. I hardly need to say lam
in high spirits.”
Law of Elections, —The following arc the
regulations to be observed at elections, agreea
bly to the law of 1799, the law passed at the
last session of the legislature, and the law alter
ing the mode of electing the governor of the
State. We have been very paiticular in draw
ing this sketch of the laws now in force ; we re
commend it, therefore, to the particular atten
tion of those who, will be called on to preside
at the elections, because mistakes in receiving
the votes, in recording them, in counting them,
and in making returns of those who have been
elected, may produce difficulties and unpleasant
results, and may prevent the will of the people
from being properly attended to, and from hav
ing its effective weight. By carefully following
the intent and meaning of the law, all difficulties
will be avoided.
The polls are to be opened at 7 o’clock in
the morning, and closed at 6 o’clock in the eve
ning.
At the court-house of every county, contra
distinguished from election districts, three or
more magistrates, not being candidates, arc to
preside. These three magistrates are author
ized to appoint three clerks, whose duty it shall
be to keep three rolls. By the act of 1824, it
was the duty of all tax collectors to attend at
I elections, with a list of persons who had not
l paid all legal taxes for the preceding year, such
persons not being entitled to vote; but this act
was repealed in 1826, though the oath that all
legal taxes have been paid may be required by
the presiding magistrates. The Sheriff, or his
deputy, is required to attend at such elections.
One justice of the Inferior Court, or one jus
tice of the Peace, and two Freeholders, or tjvo
of the Justices and one Freeholder, are to su- j
perintend th. elections in each and every elec- |
tion district established in any of the counties of
the State. The Freeholders will have to take
the following oath:
D
I, A. 8., do solemnly swear, (or affirm,) that
I am a freeholder, resident in this country
of , that 1 will faithfully superintend this
day’s election, and make a just and true return
thereof, according to law, and to the best of my
ability, so help me God.”
The Supcrintendants, or a majority of them,
of the district elections, are to receive and count
the votes, at the places designated by law for
holding elections; they a e to keep a fair state
ment ofthe polls. For this purpose they are
authorized to appoint, like the magistrates at the
court house, three clerks, who shall keep three
separate rolls.
The day after the election, one or more ofthe
Superintendants of each election district, will
meet at the court-house of their respective coun
ties, and there, with the Superintendants at the
court-house,* will count, the votes, compare, and
add together, the returns, produced from the
several election districts, after which they will
return and certify to the Governor the result of
the elections for that county. The returns of
the several election districts, made by Free
holders, are to be signed by them as such.
When there is any doubt about the legality of
any vote offered at any election, the Superin
tendents are to administer the following oaths,
viz:—
“ L A. 8., do solemnly swear, or affirm, (as
the case may be) that I have attained to the age
of twenty one years, have paid all legal taxes
which have been required of me, and which I
have had an opportunity of paying, agieeaoly to
law, have resided six months within the county,
and that I am a citizen of the United States,
and an inhabitant ofthis State.”
“I, A. 8., do slemnly swear (or affirm,) that I
have not this day voted at any election, held at
any place, in this State, for governor, members
of congress, electors of President and Vice
President, members of the legislature, or county
officers, so help me God.”
The names of all those who shall have taken
suck oaths, are to be filed in the clerk of the
Inferior Court.
At the election districts the duties of the
Sheriff or his deputy, to be performed by any
constable, or any other person appointed by the
Superintendents.
The law of the last session provides punish
ment for the violation of the election laws.
The magistrate or freeholder who shall carry
the returns of an election district to the court
house is to be allowed the sum $3.
The two justices of the Peace, in the district
where elections are held, are to carry tho elect
ion laws into effect.
ELECTION OF GOVERNOR.
Particular attention is to be paid to the returns
of the election for Governor, which are to be
sealed op separately from all other returns, by
the presiding magistrates, at the court house of
each county after the returns have been received
from the election districts, counted compared,
and added; and said returns to be directed to
the President of the Senate and Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and transmitted to the
Governor, or the person exercising the duties
of governor for the time being.
The returns of the election for Governor arc
to be transmitted to the Governor by mail, as
soon after the election as practicable; but in j
some counties where no mail pcsscs to the i
seat of government within seven davg after the!
elections are determined* it shall fie the dulv
the Superintendents to transmit the returns ]
special messenger whose services are to t!
compensated by the Governor. **
In transmitting the returns, care should t
taken that they be all promptly signed as thrl *
requires, by the freeholders and magistJ*
together with a certificate from the magistral
tliut tho freeholders, pievious to their ente ’
upon duty, took the oath prescribed by
The returns from the magistrates at the c
house must embrace, hei>id es the returns of iL
votes taken there, a general result oftlie cl e ’
ions held in the county at the several elect’
districts, signed by those magistrates, and th° 3
in that form transmitted to the Governor, j?

only a little attention to the law to prevent i
mistakes.—
From the-.Montgomery.Journal .
Reports (so well authenticated that tl„,
seems to be no room for doubt,) have reaefo
this place, that it is the intention of the n o ye
meat, to remove all the white settlers from [l
Creek Lands, and that a sufficient force y

that a meeting hns been held in this place, a
anticipation of such a proceeding, with the tie*
of giving expression to public sentiment m,,
that subject. Wc were happy to perceive Z
the meeting was composed of citizens gcnerallv
without any reference to party distinction;
The best possible spirit prevailed, and *>
have every assurance, whencverlhe govcrnir,™
shall venture upon any course of proceeding,J
directly in contravention of thfe rights of o®
citizens and the laws and sovereignty of osr
State, that every man “ will do his duty.” ]]',
forbear to make any other comments atthistime
further than to remark, that the Presidentm
his estimate of the spirit and intelligence of
Alabama, must do them great injustice, ifh
supposes for a moment, that they could unde
any possible state ofthings submit to a measure,
so lawless and tyrannical in its character, i?
this would bo. We would not he understood
on an occasion ; of so much seriousness and
importance to utter a menace : But wc hazzanj
nothing in saying that whenever a usurpation so
high-handed, and so -dangerous to our libertin
shall be attempted, it will be ’met with the mos
determined resistance.
Northern Markets. —The late New-Yuil
papers inform us, that never has there beena
large a business done in the city of New-Yoi
particularly in Dry Goods, as during the weci
ending on the 7th inst. A much larger nurakt
of customers were there than usual, and it mi
remarked that they never paid up as well. Tk
sales of one house that week, Was s7o,Oft
The rise of the great stable Cotton, togethn
with a lucrative foreign trade, had made tvtry
branch of business comparatively flourishing.
The week had been a most active one in moa
of the leading articles, such as Flour, Ashe
Sugars, Spirits, Coffee,'&c. With some exerp
tions, most articles had advanced.
Owing to the limited stock at market, Colli*
Bagging was selling at improved rates; heat;
Scotch at 22, and American at 20 cents.
Domestic Goods were in demand, both fa
export and home consumption.
Dry Goods, of nearly all descriptions were a
most active request, and the stock hardly ade
quatc’to the demand. The advance in England
had had a carresponding effect there. Canton
and Italian goods were all in demand.
YY ith respect to money matters, the Ne*
York papers state, that the agitation which pre
vailed relative to the removal of the public depo
sits, had, it had been said caused the C. &
Bank to refrain from discounting on the deposit!
as a precautionary measure. A pressure f
money had been experienced in Wall-streetfer
two weeks past, but that pressure had not lea
general. There was no call for specie to k
sent out of the country ; on the contrary it cm
tinned to flow into it. By the late account!
from Now-York, a better feeling in the moot’
market, had shown itself.— Constitutionalist.
Gold Coi ‘■.ige. —A correspondent offal
Commercial Herald, under the signature ofi
“Philadelphia Merchant,” says:
“Our gold coins are underrated 5 per cent
that is, the legal value is four percent, less to
the real value, and in consequence they cannot
circulate here; hut are exported to Europe
whenever exchange rises above $4,62 perpomd
sterling ; hut if they were rated according I*
the approximate relative value of gold to silver,
they would not be exported to England wil
exchange lmd risen to $4,81 or $4,82 p
pound sterling, (about 8 1-4 or 8 1-2 per cent
premium.)
“The expense of coining gold is a inert
bagatelle , and unworthy of consideration, com
pared with the advantage of procuring so
southern gold finders a market for their produce,
but still would it not be more advantageous h
the country to give such a value to our g®
coins as would give them a chance to be circu
lated ? Would it not be a most desirable tbis,
to have coins of the denomination of halfenp
($5,) quarto do.’(s2, 50,) and eight do.(sr

less value than $5, which is a disgrace to *

would be kept in a compartively sound sK
