TUe Governor's Letters to Mr.
Pemberton.
From the Augusta Chrotficls.
Mieledgeville, April 6th, 1832.
J\ly Dear Sir. —l redd the Chronicle with in
creased interest —I concur with you generally
in matters ot ‘principle, and appreciate your
ability to communicate clearly and destinctly
your ideas on all subjects. In tho Chronicle of
the 4th. I was jjleased with the hoticc taken of
Gov. Troup’s letter by * 1 AGeorgian.” I was
pleased w ith your editorial temnrks on the sub
ject of the “ Hancock Meeting.” Permit ttie
to say to you, that virile I am decidedly in favor
of Reduction, my tac has had a promnient
place, in the Hancock and other meetings on
the subject of a Convention —without my privi
ty, knowledge or consent—t. e. witnoiit the
least consultation with me, by any individual
who has taken part in those? meetings. The
evidence of what I state, will bfe given to the
uublic in due time—in an incontrovertible form.
The official relation which I bear to the people,
at this important crisis, occupies all my time
and talents —would require J\loic If I had them
to bestow'. I am not to bo diverted from a
straight forward course. The State will sus
tain all its rights Fear not. Be strong. I am
calm and compost’d. I tlsb no threatening lan
guage, nor large swelling words. I shall not
ape Troup. But lam ready to do my duty.;
Do let me hear from you, and believe me
yours as ever,
’ WILSON LUMPKIN.
A. H. Pemberton, Esq. Angusta
-When the above letter was written, we were, i
and had been for some time, sustaining the doc
trines of Nullification in the strongest, and most
explicit, and determined terms. Award ol this, I
he voluntarily opens a correspondence—telling j
us that lie “ read the Chronicle with increased
interest,” and “ concurred with us generally in
matters of ptiiiciple.” What else could have
increased that interest but nullification, since
scarcely any thing else had appeared in the pa-:
per for some time 1 And what other “matters |
of principle” could we have expected bo i ferrod
[to, but those of nullification, when wo had not
I discussed any others for a length of time ?
Ihe very article he mentions, respecting “ the
i u a < <v “k Meeting,” was one strongly censuring
the ellurt to draw ofFthe energy, lotercst, and
lecling of the State, to the subject of “ Reduc
tion,” w-hen they were all needed on the subject
ot resistance to the oppressions of the Tariff,
and Ought all to be concentrated on that, till .1
was finally settled and disposed of. Our whole
efforts at that time; were devoted to the rights
and wrongs of the State, and the proper mode of
1-c dressing the latter, and sustaining the former.
And what docs he say, in connection with oil
tots ?—“ The State will sustain all Us rights.
hear not.” Fear not what, but that we should
succeed, in tne course we were then pursuing?
“Be strong.” Strong ih what, btit the advocacy
** nullification? •* I am calm and fcotopoaed. (
use .... threatening language; fior large swelling
words. I shall not ape Troup. I am ready to do
my duty.”—Now what could all this be under-*
stood to mean, but that he should not use threat-
ening language, and large swelling words, ea
I rciup had done, but that he would sustain too
rights ot the State, as determinately as he had
done; notwithstanding ?
Neltt mask our reply to this, and an, extract
from another letter, the first part of which is on
another wholly different subject and therefore
omitted. Here they arc—and say if we did not
write therein horn begining to end, as one un
der full conviction that he agreed with us on th*>
doctrines of nullification ?
Now would he not, if not then a Nuliifier.
have uhdeceivcd us as to the evident impieasiou
i under which the above were written 1 Note if
he attempts to do so, in the following reply to
them, in the slightest degree.—A small part of
it in reply to that omitted in ours, is left out.
Millepgcville, June 9th 1832.
J\ly Dear Sir, —Your letter of the 6th inst.
is before me. And although I am sick and
scarcely able to write, not having answered
your former interesting letter, I feel that you
must not be longer neglected, lo6t niy silenco
should be attributed to some want of respect of
kind feeling, which docs not exist. My kindest
feelings are with you as a friend, in whose mo
tives, itidepehcibhcb and talents my confidence
remains unshaken. Iri regard lo the course of
the Federal Union, I shall remark, its Editors,
like the jest of the corps, as far ns I know, are
the rightful owners of all that appears in their
paper editorially. For myself, you may rest
assured I have no newspaper organ, not tho
slightest control, concert, or connexion with any
press in existence, so far as relates to tho po
litical sentiments of the editors. So far as lam
concerned, they affe entitled to the entire rc
sponsibilitv of all that appears in their papers
—As a public man, all that I ask from a frdo
press is, that when my public acts arc taken up,
th..t they. Will tell fAe truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truihi And this much ought to
;be expected from every honest Editor. °
I Having a great many things to do, I find it tie
| cessary to take one thing at a time, and I select
the most important one first. And when that is*
disposed of, I take up the next, &c. If I had
nothing else to doi but to write and make speech
es on subjects of political I would
certainly try my skill, at this important crisis,
rather than remain an idle spectator oftbe deep
ly interesting, scenes which now agitate tho
country. But it is my lot to be the superintends
ent of a mighty workshop. My auxiliaries are
few and feeble. Every thing that is not planned,
prepared and executed by myself, undergoes my
scrutiny, inspection and correction.
In a wold; Sir, let trie plainly say to you, I ato
at this stormy period, endeavoring to steer the
bark of Georgia, without one solitary competent
and regular adviser. I have found many of un
friends purely and exclusively selfish. If they
caunot advise so as to bring advantage lo then>-
selves, they drop off. V*'ell let them go.
My health is bad, but my spirits and confidence
firm and unshaken. If God spares my life, and
gives me health, I shall surmoUnt every other
difficulty.
I can write no mere, yfiiits as ever.
WILSON LUMPKIN.
A. IT. Pemberton, Esq. Augusta.
How is the above letter to be understood, but
as giving us his reasons, therein detailed, for
not complying with our urgent wishes, that ho
would come out openly before the public, in ad
vocacy of the doctrines we entortained, and be
lieved him to entertain? Docs he not say, that
but for the pressure of other matters, and tlior
want of competent aid, &c. he “ would certainly
try his skill, at this important crisis, rather than
remain an idle spectator of, the deeply interest
ing scenes which, now agite the country ?” And
how were we to expect, from this, that ho would
have tried his skill, tkc. —for or against nullifi
cation? Should we have been justified in enter
taining for a moment, a single doubt, on that
score ?
M e here submit the case to the public, and
leave them to determine whether Gov. Lumpkin
