We publish to day lac letter of Governor Troup,
promised in our last, upon which we select the following
happy comment of the Editors of the Georgia Journal.
It will be perceived that they propose to publish the letter
in Pamphlet form. We would suggest the propriety of
appending to it the proceedings of the two great political
meetings held at the seat of Government • ift November
last. The coincidence between the principles of this let
ter and those of the State Rights Party, would then so
fully appear on the one hand, and the great dissimilarity
of those of the opposite party on the other, that error and
misrepresentation hereafter might well be considered of
the heart and not of the head. With these appendages
it would be invaluable as a political expositor, and it
would seem that by it, all doubts and caveltngs as to the
true Republican faith should be forever put to rest.
We present to-day a paper that every body
•will read ; at least every one who feels an in
terest (and who is there that does not) in the
great principles that this nation is elaborating
for the benefit of herself and of mankind. We
think no person can read it without instruction.
Even those to whom such subjects arc most
familiar, will see old truths stated with new
force, and old distinctions rendered more dis
tinct) by a perspccuity of style and felicity of
illustration perhaps peculiar to the writer.—
The view taken by Gov. Troup, is so funda
mental, and so clear, that the leader almost
without an effort secs before him our entire po
litical edifice, from the base to the pinnacle. He
sees the whole plan of State rights, and federal
action from their deep foundations in eternal
truth and justice, to their ultimate operation on
the peace and happiness of individuals. Sov
ereignty :—Constitutions:—Government: Who
does not sec in tho calm full light he throws
upon them, the basis and attributes of the first,
and the derivative authority and natural limita
tions of the other two.
This mastcily exposition must be eminently
welcome to the disciples of sound principles ev
ery where. Many no doubt have been unable
to see through the labarynths of political logic
spread out on every side; but feeling that union
and peace and the blessings of regulated freedom
could bo secure no where else but with the vin
dicated rights of tho States, mid the liberty of
the citizen, they have clung, ns it were, instinc
tively to these, determined to hold fast to them,
let the argument run as it would. In this great
conflict of systems and theories, it is not hard io
discover this important distinction. One pro
poses to defend and uphold the government in
order that the government may lake care oj the
people; while the other prefers to defend and
sustain the rights of the States and the people,
and let them lake cai e of the government.— l\la
ny honest and devoted lovers of their country
may al such times be filled with solicitude even
nt the bare possibility of being wrong. They
feel indeed that they are right; but would be
better satisfied in being able to explain where
fore. Let such persons peruse attentively and
repeatedly the letter of Gov. Troup, and they
will be calmed composed and assured, and able
to trace step by step the reason of thatfaith they
have so long fell within them.
This letter embodies those doctrines that the
democracy, of Georgia, have adopted as their
creed and have associated to uphold. We are
siuely safe in saying so, for it comes from one
<>f the ablest commentators, and one, moreover,
who happens to have been the greatest practi
cal expounder of them, that tho history of the
American government, yet has furnished. This
letter establishes its theoretical legitimacy; his
own practice prfives its efficiency and its safe
ty.
The whole body of State rights’ people of
Georgia, may now understand one another.
There can be no possible mistake. Their as
sociation has already declared, “That the doc
trinesofthe Virginia and Kentucky Resolu
tions. as construed and understood by Mr. Jef
ferson and triumphantly acted upon in 1825,
’6, and ’7, in the State of Georgia, constitute
the creed oftheState Rights’ Party ofGcorgia.”
The Virginia and Kentucky, resolutions are
already spread wide before tbe people. By
this letter we see how they were understood,
“ and triumphantly acted on in 1825, ’6, and
’7 in the State of Georgia.” By those resolu
tions thus construed, thus understood by Jef
f >rson, and thus carried out and acted out by
his legitimate disciple Tioup, we are willing for
ever to abide, and willing that the State rights
party of Georgia,"should stand or fall. We
propose to publish the letter it: pamphlet form,
to facilitate and extend its circulation.
The Revolution. — Mr. Clay commenced his
speech on the 25th of Dec. with these emphatic
ords :—“ W e arc in the midst of a revolution,
hitherto bloodless, but rapidly tending towards
a total change of the pure repudlican character
of the Government, and to tho concentration of
all power into tho handi of one man.” To
most of the Northern people, this expression
sounds like a figure of speech.—They have al
ways associated in their minds the idea of a re
volution with the overthrow or establishment ot
monarchies, and with scenes of carnage and
devastation. They recollect the American
Revolution ns one which involved the people in
a seven years' war, and they have heard every
few months of revolutions m South America
and Mexico, accomplished by the swords of
military chieftains. These associations have
caused them to lose sight of the. true character
ot a revolution, and thereby la be ignorant of
the mighty change which has been wrought in
the political condition of this country within
the last thirteen months.—What Mr. Clay as
serts is but hall the truth. A revolution has
been accomplished, and the people of these
States do not at this day hvo under the same
from of Government as that which existed on
the 9th of December 1832, as we shall under
take to prove.
What is a Revolution t it is a change in
the form of a Government, accomplished by
the popular w ill, or by the popular acquiescence,
or by popular subjugation* If the subjects of«
monarch dethrone him, and establish a republic
Uut a revolution* If the citizens of a republic
voluntarily consent to cler ate a citizen to the
throne, «» mis done m France m 1830, or ac
g-res e if a placed orertbensby other»
as in the cases of Greece end Belgium, or sub
mit to the dominion of a sovereign who has
usurped his power, and maintains it by the
sword, as was recently the case in Portugal, it
amounts to a revolution. In like manner a
revolution may be effected without any change
of the ostensible structure of the Government
A despotic monarchy may be changed into a
limited monarchy, as happened some years ,
since in Spain and Portugal; or a limited mon j
, archy may be changed into an absolute monar- 1
chy, as was subsequently effected by those
same two nations. So, also, may a republic ,
be changed by the popular will, from a constitu
tional government to a despotism of numbers,
or from a confederation of sovereign States to
a consolidated empire. Any of these changes
is a revolution, whethei it be accompanied by
violence or commotion, or be effected by Pro
clamations, or by peaceable manifestations of
the public will or acquiescence.
Since the existence of the present Govern
ment of the United States, there have been
accomplished three bloodless revolutions. The ’
first was effected by the Federal party in 17-
98, who administered the Government upon the
principle of a forced construction of the Consti
tution, converting the confcdeaation into an
unlimited consolidation. Os this revolution,
the Alien and Sedition Laws were the fruits,
and had they not been met by the republican
partv with the spirit es freemen, long before this
time, we should have had a King and a House
of Lords. The second revolution was accom
plished by the election of Mr. Jefferson to the
Presidency in 1800, by which act, the consoli
dated and unlimited Government of John Ad
ams, Timothy Pickering, Alexander Hamilton, ■
Fisher Ames and Co. was overthrown, and the .
Government of the Constitution, giving full re
cognition of the rights of the States, as a free,
sovereign, and independent,’ re-established. 1
The third revolution was commenced by An
drew Jackson, on tho 10th of December, 1832,
and consummated by the passage of the Force
Bill, on the 2d of March Since the latter i
period, the Government has been proclaimed
'by the President, his Cabinet, both Houses of
Congress, and a majority of the people, a con
solidated empire, without limitation of power.
The recent act of laying hold of the public
purse by the prime mover of this conspiracy
against the liberties of the country, is only an
exercise of a part of the power conferred upon
him by this revolution, and so fully is he sus
tained by a majority of the people, that his sov
ereign will is the law of the land. To extricate
the country, can only be effected by a counter
revolution, and that can only be brought about
by a restoration of the Government to the re
publican doctrine of State Rights- Nothing
else can save us.— From the Philadelphia
Examiner.

Gentlemen — I see it stated in your paper,
that a daughter of mine was married at Colum
bia, Tennessee, a while back. This is a mis
take. 'l’hcre’s a heap of Crocketts in that part
of Tennessee, and from that no doubt the mis
take arose, but none of my family live there.

told a young man, who asked permission to

Personal appearance of Sir Halter Scott.—
In stature. Sir Walter Scott was upwards of
six feet, bulky in the upper part of the body, but
never inclining in the least to what is called
corpulency. His right limb was shrunk from
an early period of boyhood, and required to be
supported by a staff, which ho carried close to
the toes, the heel turning a little inwards. The
other limb was perfectly sound, but the foot
was too long to bring it within the description of
handsome. The chest, arms and shoulders
were those of a strong man. but the fiame, in
its general movements, must have been enfee.
I bled by his lameness, which was sucn as to give
an ungainly, though an inactive appearance to
the figure. The most remarkable part of Sir
Walter Scott's person was his head, which was
very tall and cylindrical, as to bo quite unique.
The mca»urent ent of the part below the eyes
was fully an inch and a halt less than that
, above, which, both upon the old and new ays.
terns of phrenology, must be held as a striking
mark of the intellectuality of his character. —
' In early life, his hair was of a sandy pale color;
but it was changed by his illness in 1819 to a
i light grey, and latterly bad become rather thin.
■ The eyebrows, of the same hue, were so shag.
gy and prominent that when he was reading
t or writing at a table, they completely shrouded
I the eyes beneath. The eyes were grey, and
i somewhat small, surrounded by humorous di.
i verging lint s, and possessing the extraordinary
property of shutting as mqch trom below as from
i above, when their possessor was excited by a !u.
f dicrousidea. Thefoose was the least eleg nt tea.
> turc though its effect in a front view was by no
means unpleasing. The cheeks were firm and
f close, and the chin small and undistinguished.
i The mouth wasstraight.in its general shape, and
i' thelips rather thin. Between the nose and mouth
- j was a considerable space, intersected by a hoi.
? low, which gave an air of firmness to the visage.
* When walking alone. Sir Walter generally kept
? his eyes bent on the ground.and had a somewhat
i abstracted, and even repulsive aspect.
But when animated by conversation, his
rounten’ince became full ofpleasent expression.
, He tnav be said to have had three principal
.. kinds of aspects: First, when totally unexcited
tho face was heavy, with sometimes an appear,
a! ance of vacancy, arising from a habit ot drawing
> I the under Up far into bis month, as if to faeih.
: ' tale breathing - Second, when stirred by s* mo
e ' lively thought. tho face broke into an agreeible
_ snide, and the eves twinkled with r peculiarly
>, J drool expression, the result of that elcvahen *4
the lower eyelids, which has been just noticed.
In no portrait is this aspect drawn so happily as
in that painted near the close of his life by Mr.
Watson Gordon, (and of which a remarkably
good engraving by Horsburgh of Edinburgh, is
prefixed to the revised edition of his novels,) no
other painter, apparently, having detected the
extraordinary muscular movement which occas. j
j ions the expression. The third aspect of Sir '
j Walter Scott was one of a solemn kind, always
1 assumed when he talked of any thing he res.
pected, or for which his good sense informed
i him that a solemn expression was appropriate.
For example, if he had occasion to recite but a
single verse of romantic ballad poetry, or if he
were informed of any unfortunate occurrence in
the least degree concerning the individal ad.
dressing him, his visage altered in a moment to
an expression of deep veneration,or of grave sym
pathy.—The general turn of his mind, however,
1 being decidedly cheerful, the humorous aspect
was that in which he most frequently appeared.
It remains only to be mentioned,in an account of
] his personal peculiarities, that his voice was
slightly aflactcd by the indistinctness which is
so general in the county of Northumberland in
pronouncing the letter r, and that this was most
observable when he spoke in a solemn manner,
than on other occasions.
Story of the Dutch and English Merchant.
—lt is evidently the nature of commerce to de
tach the mind from the pursuit of amusement;
fatigued with promiscuous intercourse during
the day, its votaries concentrate their hours of
relaxation within their home—at night they
want rest rather than amusement —hence we |
: usually find that a certain apathy to amusement,!
perfectly distinct from mere gravity of disposi
tion, is the characteristic of commercial nations, j
It is not less observable among the Americans
■ and the Dutch, than it is among th? English.
The last, indeed, have in their social state great
, counterbalances to the commercial spirit. I
had the honor of being introduced the other day
to a young travel!?!’ f roin Amsterdam. ‘{Have
iyou ucwu to the play since your arrival in Lon
don ?” was the natural question, “No sir, these I
amusements are very expensive.” “True; but
a man so enviably rich as yourself can afford it.”
•‘No Sir” was his austere and philosophic reply
“I can afford the amusement, but not the habit,
of amusement.” A witty countryman of your
Excellency’s told me that he could win over
any Englishman I pleased to select, to accom
pany him to a masquerade to bo given at the
Opera House. I selected for the experiment a
remarkably quiet and decorous father of a fam
ily, a merchant. The Frenchman accosted
him, “Monsieur never goes to masquerades, I 1
believe. It would be impossible to induce you
to go.” “ Not quite impossible,” said the mer- j
chant, smiling; “but I urn too busy for such
entertainments—besides, I have a moral scru. I
ple.„ “Exactly so. I have just bet my friend
here three to one he could not persuade y u to
go to the masquerade.” “Three to one !” said
tbe merchant, “those are long odds.” “1 will
offer the same bet,” replied tbe Frenchman
gaily, “in guineas if you please.” “Three to
one!—dene” cried the Englishman, and be
went to the Opera House in ordei to win his
wager. The masquerade in this case ceased
to be an amusement —it had become acommer.
cial speculation ! — liulurer's England and the
English.
A Dalch Story.— There lived lately in one
of the mountainous counties in Western Virgin
ia many Dutchmen, and among them one nam
ed Henry Snyder; and there were likewise two
brothers, called George and Jake Fulwiler—:
they were all rich, and each owned a mill.—
Henry Snyder was subject to fits of derange
ment, but they were not of such a nature as to
render him disagreeable to any one. He
merely conceived himself to be the Supreme
Ruler of the Universe; and while under the in
fatuation, had himself, a throne built, on which
he sat to try the cause of all who oflended him;
passed them off to heaven or hell, as his humor
prompted, and personating both Judge and cul.
prit.
It happened one day that some difficulty oc.
cuired between Henry Snyder and the Fulwil
ers, on account of their mills; when tc be aven,
ged, Henry Snyder took along with him a book
in which he recorded his judgments, and nioun.
ted his throne to try their causes. He was
heard to pass the following judgments.
Having prepared himself, (acting as Judge
and yet responding for the accused;) he called
George Fulwiler.
“ Shorge Fulwilde -, stand up. What hash
you been doing in dis lower world
“ Ah ! Lort, I does not know.”
“Well, Shorge Fulwider, has’nt vou got a
mill V’
“ Yes, Lort, 1 hash.”
“Well, Shorge Fulwider, did'at you never
take too much toll ?”
“ Yes, Lort, 1 hash—when der water wash
low, and mein stones wash dull, I take u leetle
too much toll.”
“ Well, den Shorge Fulwider, you must go
! to dcr left, rati der goats.”
“ Well, Shake Fulwider, now you stand up.
What hash you been dom in dis lower world?”
; ! “ [The trial proceeded throughout precisely
like the former, and with the same result.]
I “Now I tries mineself. Henry Snyder!
i Henry Shnyder! stand up. What hash you
, been dom in dis lower world ’ ’
“ Ah ! Lort, I does not know.”
t ‘ “ Well, Henry Shnyder, has’nt you got a

“ Yes, Lort, I hash.”

Thou lovely stranger! whither
Art thou fled ? Is life’s frail thread
So soon spun out ? or was its
Brittle texture such, that it
Was snapt in twain by a few short
Turns of time’s revolving wheel!
Or did the busy, noisy

Thine c. r ? and wast thou startled
At the sound ? and being thus
Admonished, didst thou seek by
Timely flight, a safer and
Securer home ? <)p’ning thine eye,
Didst thou behold their frantic
Rage ? and was thy intant soul
Appall’d to see the wid’ning

By the fell storm of evil passion ?
Or was thou inform’d that here.
Compassion, justice, mercy,
Nor love, nor good icitl, can scarce

To announce his swift approach,

Couldst thou not stay a little
While, to bless a mother’s arms ’
And with thy sweet, endearing
Smiles, repay the pangs and cores
She bore tor thee? (if aught could

A little longer, until
Thy creeping, climbing efforts

And there, with look transporting,
Tell in artless prattle, all
Thy aoul-bewitching story ? «

BY HOLT & JONES.
This Gazette having been transferred by purchase to
the undersigned, will in future be conducted by them
conjointly as Editors andPropnetors. The reasons which
have impelled them to an undertakingat once so laborious
and responsible, as the conduct of a public Journal, in
connection with their professional avocations,may be read
in the pres, nt lowering aspect of the political horizon,
produced by the fearful prevalence of the doctrines of the
Presidents ill-starred Proclamation—doctrines at war
with the genius and spirit of our Government—in their
nature, foreign to its theory—in their tendency, destruc
tive to its character as a confederated republic, by over
turning the rights and sovereignty of the states' which
compose it, and in their final end and t Sect, baleful to the
liberties of ti C People.
I To contrioute our feeble aid in the great work ot prc
! due?'? a conformity in the practices of the Federal Gov
' eminent, to its true end original theory—in restraining
its action dhin its original, and well defined Consti
tutional limits; in one word, to dethrone the misrule of
revived Federalism, and to restore the supremacy of the
rejected Republicanism of’93 —to build up the true and
genuine State Rights doctrine in its primitive purity,
strength and beauty, untramntdled with the conditions,
restrictions, limitations and refinements of the political
wcat er-eocks of the present day—these may be num
bered amongthe objects,to the accomplishment of which,
our humble exertions shall be devoted, with a zeal , and
we trust) a sincerity not unbecoming then'importance.
Nurtured an 1 brought up as we have been, in the
adm >niton of the Republican State Rights doctn e—in
a contest in which their preservation is sought on the
one. hand by the lovers of Constitutional Liberty, and
threatened on the otner by the renewed assaults of re-ani
mated Federalism,it may be easily conjectured on which
aide wc are t<> be found. We aspire to belong to the
Republican State Rights Party, professing such princi
ples as sustained the bathers ofthat faith in ’9Bana ’99
as bore that party in Georgia triumphant, through the
political conflicts of’2s and 26, and to which it has not
proved recreant in ’32 and ’33. V/e claim to be disciples
of the School of Jefferson, as taught in the Kentucky
and Virginia Resolutions. But professions of republic
