Tin: WESTERN HERALD. A r R.VRIA, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 5, 1833. * fCF” Wc are autliorired to anounce the name of Maj JOEL CRAWFORD, of Hancock county, for Governor at the ensuirg Election. Our Villa”. —The Inferior Court ol Lumpkin county, have un.niinouslv agree;! upon the nan*, of Talone ru tor the village in said county. It is the CheroKcc name for Gold, and we think it highly appropriate. The village is irnpro’ ing with unprecedented rapidity, —: 3K3K : Health c/Mr County. —There has been a great many c ases of fev- r in tins county during the past summer and fall, we believe its origin was produced by exposure, tor we can see no local causes in the surrounding country, —-3K3K- Cherokee Tetcn Lets. —Vi e understand that the Town Lots in Cherokee, sold /roiu two to live hundred dollars. We presume this will silence those who expressed so much dissatisfaction, at the location of the Town. 3K3K. : CHARLES A. ELV, Esq, has been appointed Post Master at Aurarix, and WILLIAM STATON, Esq. at Taloncga. ~-.3KK- 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of Alabama submit to it, will the sovereign people of the several south ern slat- s sec the laws of a sister state repealed, by a mi litary march of soldiery through tlie country, or will the Commanders in Chief of the armies, and Navy’s of the states through which they may attempt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. Crawford has been tried in the field of battle, as well as in the councils of the country, and it is known to .!• w .o are acquainted with him, cither pcrsonlv, or by .. , that ne has judgement enough to know the peoples r.._ courage enough to demaud them, and nerve cn jugii to support and defend them. 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.” HAL LIGIITFOOT. Ftom the Southern Recorder. 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. No/e The lot in dispute is the one contain ing Spring Place; and said to belong at the time 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 to tho time it was issued to the successful ap plicant. 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!
