The Foret Bill vs. the South. —lt will be recollected that
the Legislature ol Alabama Ims (tike Georgia,) extended
hor laws over that part of her state in the occupancy of
her Indian population
Those Indians have made iWrcatv with the generalGo
vemir.cnt in which th. y have reserved fora lime, the right
of occupancy to the improvements of such as were not pre
pared for immediate cmigratioi, and under the provisions
of the treaty, inducements were held out to the whites !
remove to, and settle the country, and now for the purpn
of oflering an other indignity to the South, and testin.’ as
we suppose the strength of the Force bill, better knot* n
■ perhaps as the bloody bill, the general government calls
the emigrants to that country, intruders and is now pro
, caeuing to their removal. Will the people of Alabama
submit to it, will the sovereign people of the several south
ern slat- s sec the laws of a sister state repealed, by a mi
litary march of soldiery through tlie country, or will the
Commanders in Chief of the armies, and Navy’s of the
states through which they may attempt to march, impede
the furtherance of this difficulty, by ordering and enlj.ee
ing a halt of this military band, upon entering the bor
ders of their states, fir the purpose of repealing their state’s
laws, by military show. W'e cannot expect from* the
manner in which Governor Lumpkin shrunk from the
difliculiy, when lie diselurged the .Missionaries, that he
would say halt, were they to march into the state house,
and dispossess Ins Excellency, anxious as he is to hold of
fice. But wc have confidence in believing that the people
of Georgia will not reelect him; for the next military 1
movement may be to dispossess the whites, who have set- i
tied in the Cherokee country, and we consider it all im
portant to have a Governor in Georgia, in whose integrity
and valor, as well as honesty and J udgeinent, the people
might with safety rely in case of such emergency. Air.

in the councils of the country, and it is known to .!• w .o

FOR THE WESTERN HERALD.
Mu. Editor.—l send you the Journal of the
18th:inst. In which you will see, the celebrated
correspondence between the “Superintendant
of the Mighty Workshop,” and Mr. Pemberton,
(the Editor of the Chronicle.) Do publish it
ia the. Herald, I want the people ofyour section
to read it, and judge for themselves, whether or
not, his Excellency has subjected himself to the
charge of turning, which has so often been
made against him in the toasts given at various
places, and by correspondents in the different
Journals of the day. I believe it will not be ne
cessary to re-eterate or prove, that Mr. Pember
ton has been ever since the doctrine has been
agitated, a zealous and consistent Nullificr.
jVow let us see how the Superintendent of the
Mighty Workshop, alias our soap-tail Governor,
or as i)uffGreen calls him, “an image ol dough,
sitting in the Executive chair of Georgia,” stood
in regard to the doctrine at the time of this cor
respondence, (April 1832) which he now calls
“ Mystical.” On ‘.he 6th of April he commen-
ced this correspondence with the Editor, by say
ing “My Dear Sir, I read tire Chronicle with
increased interest; I concur with you generally
ia matters .of principle.” Pray w’.at could have
made him read the Chronicle with increased
interest, at that time ? but the bold end fearless
manner in which the Editor advocated Nullifi
cation. This was the subject that tilled his
columns at tkat time, and ever since. Or what :
matters ®f principle, that “he concur, and in,” did j
he allude to; surely he would not have th • har
dihood to deny that he ment nullification. He
further says, “fear not be bold.” It seem that
even Mr. Pemberton, was too timid for him;
says, be roust stimulate him, least ho should re
lax on the subject. Dn the 9th Jun” h 3 writes
him another letter, and says “my confidence in
your motives, independence and talents, remain
unshaken,” I hope it is proven beyond a’doubt
that he was still a nuliificr, up to the latter date.
At the Commeneoment*i 11 the subsequent Au
gust, is the first time we ever heard any thin<> to
the contrary, there his “feeble and purely seffish
auxiliaries” hemed hirn"up, and swore they
would not go another inch with him, unless he !
denounced mystical” doctrine of nnuHifi- ‘
tion. He then comes out for the first time in a j
Jeeble voice “lam ua aullifier ”
It is not the doctrine that I object to, but to j
the principle, I have an aversion to so much j
turning, and to any man, who has no fixed prin
ciples of his own, and who is so spaniel like, is ‘
to let hia feeble auxiliaries make.* mero O(C)Se u( \
wax of him. lie mk-ht well exclaim with one ‘
of his fit coworkers, “that lam clay in the pot- 1
,ers liands.” Can the anti-uuliifiers su r ,p C ,
him, because ho is a union man, after seeing his 1
nullification letters, or can the nulHfiers consis
tently support him, after hearing him deny the
doctrine that he once thought, Pemberton want
ed z-al in the support off VV hat can any man,
or party, promise themselves from such a polit
ical weathercock. It is only necessary for him
to ascertain which sije of a question, is most
tikeiy to pruniisc him support, to make him ad
vocate it, and if the nullilicrs should succeed,
and prove themselves to be in the majority , I
can safely promise them, that the Superintend
ent ot the might , workshop, will very soon, add
one more to their number. Such a polit.cal
w eathercock, the world lias never produced, no
telling where to find him, nor how to count him.
He may with great propriety be called one of
Sam’s little pigs, that 4 kept such a “ turuiu bout
he no count him.”

TO THE UNION MEN OF THE TRQUP
PARTY.
You need not be toM, that at the present cri
sis, vou occupy a peculiar and controlling posi
tion in reference to the contending parties for
the Executive chair; and that consequently, a
high responsibility rests upon you, ia determin
iag iu the party in whose favour you will decide
the contest. If your ow n discernment had not
already convincV and you of this, the solicitude
manifested by one at’ those parties, and the ap
peals which they make to you for your support,
would show yuu the importance attached to the
course which you may pursue.
Pre-eminent among thi se appeals, no less for
the high source from which it emanates, than tor
the distinguished abjlily w ith, which it is written,
is that of “A Union Tick r Man,” which ai>-
peared originally in the Augusta Constitutional
ist, and has since been republished, w ith singu
lar avidity, in the several paper- of the Lumpkin
party. To the bold and indignant denuncia
tions, the withering sarcasms, the home thursts
of his attack on the leaders of the nullification
party in South Carolina, I have nothing to say.
Even were they less just, they might be passed
i y as the splenetic effusions of an old personal
animosity, bursting forth, like the volcanic erup
tion of long smothered fires, with a violence pro
portioned to the length of their concealment.
But his appeal to you, for “ the performance of
a high and magnanimous duty,” in abandoning j
Jobl Crawford, end and. serting the standard of!
the old Troup party, tor the pnrpose of ranging
yourselves under the banner of tVihon Lump- !
kin, an. : of falling into the ranks anil assuming i
the livery of your here itury eiiomies, the Clark
party, js what cannot thus be passed over unno
ticed. Before you determine on a course thus
at war with every feeling and every act ofyour
political life, lat us scrutinize the character and
examine the consequences of the net of “high
and magnanimous duty,” which youaro thus
solemnly called on to perform.
H s it been from principle, or from personal
considerations and the mere force of names,
that you have been thus long and ardently at
tached to the Irou party *1 Has it been the
triumph of your principles, or the success of
certain men, for which you have so arduously
struggled, and at which you have so often re
joiced, in times that are passed? The same prin
ciples—the principles, whose triumph you
a . hjeved by me election of George M- Troup
in ’25; principles, whose practical anil success
ful operation you witnessed in the old and new
treaty controversy;are now personified in Joel,
Cawford ; and on his success depends their
maintenance, and the continued supremacy of
the old republican doctrines, which you have
professed to reverence as the articles of your
faiti), and on which to fix your eye, as the cyn
osure of your political course. TVia “.iverity of
these professions I cannot douLt ; nor can I
believe that you will falsity them now, by aban
doning the candidate of the republican party, at
the bidding of a “ Union Troup Man”;W|io,
for the gratification of personal spleen, is vol
unteering his services to beat ui> recruits among!
his old friends, to fill the ranks of his former
enemies.
And for the promotion of what party; the ad
i * once incut <3f what principles, and the” elevation
lof what candidate, does he urge you to betray’
your oivn party, endeared to you by many a tri
umph;abandon your own long cherished poli
ticitil principles;and forsake your own favorite
candidate ? The original Yazoo, the subsequent
Clark, tlie now Federal party* of Georgia: whoso
principles, so far as they have ever been acted j
fiom any, are stamped with the impress of the
rankest Federalism;one ol whose chief leaders
has contended for the right of Congress to sell a
State;another, that State lines need not be re— j
garded in forming districts;num- :
hers of them, that the decision of tiSupreme ,
i- I u 1 Lt.tj supreme
Court, in the case of the Missionaries, was
right; awl the rc-cha: tiring of the United
states , .;nk constitutional and proper ; not to
; mention ncir advocacy of the minor heresies of
the proidamation and force bill: And, to crown
the whale, whose candidate foi the Executive;
Chair is \\ risen Lumpkin ! first a Crawford,’
then a Clark man; at one time a nuilifier, at an- 1
other a submissionist—with some a ratifier, to !
others a denouncer of the mnendment; a Gov- \
ernor vauntingly proclaiming to.resist the enforce- j
ment of the decision of the Supreme Court;
1 —wuun,
1 then meanly postrating the dignity of the State
■ at the feet of the Missionaries— whose adminis
tration, in fine, has been distinuishedfornothino
but its signal imbecility ; save the oisgracefiil
betrayal of the rights and honor of the State in
j the liberation of the Missionaries, and the
, shameless attempt, by Executive proclamation,
Ito deceive *e people as to the motives of the
j *** *he facts of the case. T support sifth
j a candidate ot such a party, with such princi
ples,js the “high and magnanimous dub’ ”
I which patriotic members of the re"--’ “
| are solemnly called on to * r“” licat > party
of their countr ;;; , ,'**}*’? tl)e ood
I■„„ , ... ~"/ 1 * f/WJOot indulge a sea ( that
.VOU will suffer yourselves to be dragooned into
1 such a course, even by the lofty tone of a Troup
t m°n man a address; nor decoyed into it by
the adroit sftiqtagpm of concealing his real pur
pose undercover of a bold denunciation of doc
trmes which you disapprove. |’
Noither will I offer tho insult to your under
standing, of supposing that you could bo
deluded hy the shallow artifice of the Federal
Union of tho 12th, in their false tho* insidious
declaration, that ‘‘the Troup party arc not now
their opponents—that their standard is raised
against Nullification”—nor oortimtt the greater
outrage your honesty and patriotism of sus
pecting that you could ho seduced by their
insulting attcnint to bride you into a dishonest
support of Wilson Lumpkin, by an offer of
sharing with you the spoils of an inglorious
victory over your own party and your own
principals. Nothing, surely, but alarm at their
weakness, and a consciousness, that without
your aid they must be defeated, could havo
driven them to the desperation of thus beating
| up for recruits in an enemy’s camp, and openly
offering the bounty to deserters. If I have
termed a correct estimate of your character,
you are not the men to be bought up by a
promise of rewarding your aposlacy; but if you
should conclude to sell yourselves I would
advise you to examine the credentials of the
bidder; to have the deed properly executed
before hand, and to attach to the instrument the
power of attorney by which they are authorized
to convey’ in the name and behalf of the Clark
party.
But there is one true sentiment advanced in ‘
the article; in refere--.ee to your neutrality in
the approaching contest. After propounding ,
several interrogatories on the subject they say j
—“ Judging of them (the Union Troup men)
.from ourselves, (rather an incorrect criterion
to judge honest men by) to these question we
answer, r,0.” This must be true. You cannot
remain with folded arms, in a state of cold
neutrality, aud love to others the labor and the
honor of fighting the decisive battle which is to
achieve I trust another triumph es Republican
principles in Georgia. You cannot consent to
aid, even negatively by your neutrality the
elevation on the ruins of Republicanism, of
that party whose principles you have all your
lives denounceed; or promote, by the same
course the re-election of Wilson Lumpkin to
the Executive chair. It was mortifying enough
to the pride of such a State as Georgia, ever to
have had her proud and chivalrous character
personified by such a man; but to recommit her
rights and honour to his keeping, after he has
once betrayed them, is too revolting to suspect
! you of countenancing
| A crisis is approaching in which the State
will require in the peison of her chief magistrate
’ all the decision and firmness of a Troup to
: main rain her rights—for already are we threat
ened witn another decision of the Supprenae
Court, and the applicat,on of the bloody bill
to enforce it. Snatch then fiom the imbecile,
temporizing, hypocritical incumbent, the helm
ot State, and confide it to the stern integrity
the high toned honour the tried patriotism of
Joel ( rawfod. Were he even a nullifierin the
brodest sense you might nevertheless con
fidently rely upon his character prudence
and undoubted patriotism for the safe admin
istration of the government. Even “a Union:
Troup man” says: “to Mr. C. as we once!
knew him and as wc would fain still believe
him to be when reposing on his own convrc-j
tions and feelings, we would cheerfully entrust
the administration of the State.” Yon cannot j
doubt that as Maj. Crawford was once known
to that writer such is he now—the honest man
the stern patriot the consistent Republican.
Fear not then the undue influence ot a pol
itical sect; but cheerfully entrust to him the
administration of the State.
ONE OF THE OLD TROUP PARTY.
The subjoined report of a case decided at
the late term of Aiurray Superior Court, we
received from .1 correspondent in that section,
with the assurance that “it may be implicitly
relied on” as a substantially correct history of
the case. Upon enquiry, we have ascertained*
that the lot in question was returned “Mission
ary Station;” that there was originally some
i difficulty or hesitation in reference to m the
issuing of the grant; and that it was eventually
obtained by X. B. Hargroves Esq. who we arc
informed is a member of a land speculating
company:
Wm. N. Bishop, \ In Murray Superior
v, ‘ > Court, Sept. Term 1833
John Williams. )
This was a bill of Injunction, obtained by the
complainant against the defendant, (who was
i the agent in said county, appointed by the
| Inferior court, to protect the Indians under the
late statute of Georgia enacted for that purpose,)
to restrain him from dispossessing the com
plainant. who was in possession of a lot of land,
land putting Joseph Vann, a native of the
Cherokee Nation, into possession of the
same.
.
! Ths> bill charged that the lot of land had been
j S raf, t f; d by the State, and that after the issuing
ofthe grant, the complainunt had gone into
possession, &c.
The answer to the bill staled, that the lot of
i land contained a large field and improvement,
belonging to the said Joseph Vann, which had
| been cleared and occupied for many years by
j him. It was admitted by the counsel, that the ‘
1 lot contained a part of the plantation (from
i eighty to one hundred acres) ofthe said J
oseph janri, and that the same had been occu
pied by him as staled in the answes; but insisted
that as the grant from the State had issued for
the said lot of land, the complainant could not
be dispossessed by the agent.
cor the defendant, it was argued, that the
grant was illegal, and must have been improper
ly obtained; in as much as the Surveyor, who
was a sworn officer, was bound to return alt
such lots as contained Indian in—.
with proper ten- ....pivsKhxnts,
j-.cscntations of such improve
ments and that such as were so returned
should not be grantee-ami that as the lot in
question, had a large improvement (more than
halffhe |pt being cleared and enclosed, and in
the actual occupancy of Joseph Vann,) it must
have been so returned, or the Surveyor must
have been guilty of a gross dereliction of duty
—and if it was so returned, then'the Governor
had transcended his powers, and violated a
plain law of tbo land, in granting the same; and
that in either case, the grant was void, ns being
issued against the positive provisions ol the
And so the Court determined, and the Injunc
tion was dissolved.

it was granted, to the Coosa Land k onipauy,
It is also stated, that an unsuccessful attempt
had been made to obtain the grant, previous

Major Crawford.- In our anxiety to reject
the proposed amendments ot the Constitution,
let us not forget that another contest —involving
the dearest rights we have, and tho most sacred
principles of which we boast—is also to be de
cided. On its issue, depend tkp preservation
of our sovereignty as a State, the vindication ot
o r rights as a People, and the restoration, to
this responsible officer, of executive dignity,
consistency, and inoral indepenence. The
principles of Troup, of Jefferson, ot sound re
publicanism, are at stake. VVill the}’ not be
| maintained ! Will Georgia prove recreant to a
! cause, that led her triumphantly through the
, opposition of secret foes, and the threats of open
I enemies ? Will she, in times of fearful respon—
I sibility, and of inei easing danger, abandon prin
ciples, which have elevated her dignity, increased
i her respectability, extended her interests, pres
j erved her rights, vindicated her sovereignty, and
defined the limits of governmental encroach
ments ? If not, now is the time, to rescue them
from danger—now is the time to test the sincer
ity of her devotion, and the genuineness of her 1
political faith. In the promotion of Maj. Cra
wford, they will be preserved —in the elevation
of Gov. Lumpkin, they will be repudiated, they
will be piactieally denied. Can any one doubt
it ? Look at the principles of the two men.
Who is Major Craw ford ? The politicial friend
of Troup—the genuine disciple of Jefferson.
What are his political principles ? They are
those of Jefferson as triumphant'y proclaimed in
’9B and ’99—and those of Troup, as success
fully vindicated in ’25, And where is he now ?
On the side of the States —struggling in this
perilous crisis, for their rights and their sovere
ignty ,and opposing with manly independence,
the assumptions of power, the perversions of the
Constitution and the usurpations of (he General
Government. Can as much be said of his op
ponent ? Is he not opposed to these principles 7
Does he not discard these doctrines, and ap
prove the wild political heresies of the Procla
mation, and the false, dangerous, and anti-re
publican assumptions, that support and sustain
the Force Bill f The line of deniarkatior. can
be clearly drawn, and we call upon nil, who ap
preciate the rights, and prize the sovereignty of
the States—who value the principles of Jeffer
son; principles, “ sliong in the strength and rich
in the vitality of truth”; to discard personal pre
dilections, and minor considerations, and rally
with singular unanimity, to the support of a man,
who is a “ friend of the Union, because a
: friend of the States.” This is no time to be
! wasting our strength, or Tormenting among us
. irrecnnciliablc divisions, by the discussion, of a
I question, that should be permitted quietly to
sleep in its disputed glory. Maj. Carvvford
jis firm’ in his attachment to the Union, and de
cided in his support of the rights of the State ;
and if under his administra’iou, the integrity of
the one will be maintained, and the sovereignty
es the other, defended, why, “ dally” longer
with the genuineness of his principles, or doubt
any more his politieat orthodoxy ? Discip'es of
Jefferson ! Supporters of Troup ! To you we
now appeal, with a confidence increased by the
emergency of the crisis,.and highened by the
magnitude of the interest at stake. Will you, in
these days that try’ inert’s principles, abandon a
CAUSE, endeared to you by many a recollec
tion, and consecrated many a victory ? The bat
tle is again to be fought—the banner is floating
in the air—the “ war cry” is heard—“ on, to the
rescue.”— IVashington News.
W’e oppose ratification, then, because it
disfranchises more than jiffy thousand of our
inhabitants* We oppose it, because it changes
the mode of our representation in a manner at
all times dangerous, but now peculiarly so to
the safety of the South. We oppose it, because
the pretended object of this change has not been
effected but by its provisions, the representation
of t white population is made more unequal
than it is at present, even including slave
representation.—We oppose it because it
makes the small counties, in the Senate’ by
being tied to the large ones, forever tributary
to them. V e are opposed to it, becauso the
reduction is not sufficient, and such as it might
easily have been made. We oppose it because
it rates a citizen of Hall, Habersham, DeKalb,
Henry, and other large counties, politically,
but as the fraction of a man requiring some ten
or a dozen of these citizens to he entitled to the
same political privileges with a single citizen
of other counties. W e oppose it because we
do not believe that there is a single one of our
fellow citizens so poor, to whom the yearly
. , uutu nit,, j Utiriy
saving ol three cents per head will be any object,
jWe oppose it because the reduction will not
be felt bv our people. We oppose it carries
out as a whole, the tyrannical system practised
against the large counties, and makes a mi
nonty rule the majority of the State: thus at
one fell blow, overthrowing the very first and
most essential principle- of our republican
government. We oppose it because—but we
will reserve our remaining objections for
subsequent papers believing that w e have given I
quite enough at present to call forth, the sori- I
ous consideration ofour fellow-citizens of both!
