The case of JMr. JWckenzic, who has been
several times elected to, and expelled from, the

Mr. M. was elected in October, 1830, as a
representative in Parliament from the county of
York, and in December, 1831, he was expelled
bv a party vote, for having published in the pa

of its members. In January 1832, he was re
elected by nearly a unanimous vote; and, with
out any additional cause, again expelh-d i the
same month. In February, lie was again re
elected, and re-expelled in November ; tn the
same month he was once mure re-elected, and

the same adoration of
Mr. Jefferson, a,.d the same detestation of Nul
lification, which the Union meetings have every
where expressed, are expressed by the Union
Meeting of Savannah ; but how they would
evince their devotion to State Rights in case
of an invasion of them by 'he Genera) Goven -
ment, what there is in the State R-ghts Party’s
creed oppos 1 to the doctrines of Jefferson,
where Nullification is at war with his prineiph
and practi e, they do nc t condescend to tell u. .

what are we to think when we hear such men
qu ting thf-following sentences and half sen
ton- es, as e übmeing 'he whole length and
breadth of Mr. Jefferson’s p ditica! faith! That
the State and Federal Government are co-ordi
nate departments of one simple and integral
whole’—that in controversies b two, n tin m,
“the ultimate arbiter is the pe pie of the Union,
assembled by deputies in ’ onvention, at the
call of Congress oi ot two thirds of the States” ;
—“they are to decide t > which they m an to
give an authority cl imed by two uftheirorgans”
—“ it has been the peculiar wisdom and felicity
of our Cons’itut ion to have prov dud this pcacea- )
ble appeal, where the resort ol other nations, is I
to force.” Was it like these gentlemen, to
quote Mi. Jefferson thus, and in so doing, to go
cautioush round the connexions, in which these j
sentences were placed oy the Great Apostle of |
Liberty? Was it in character wiih them, to tell
us about “ the ultimate arbiter,” without t< llmg
us how Mr. Jefferson said the issue was to be
formed, for uliimate arbitrament - th< very point
in dispute ? Was it candid to tell the people
of Mr. Jetlerson’s peaceable appeal, and to say
nothing of ins i one of making up the pleadings?
And after bowing thus r< v rently at tn shrine
of Jeff rs< u, was H respectful m these gentle
men, to rise from their uev-'tions and to pro
claim to tire people that when he said “Nullifi

H asliiiiplon City, 2~ith Feb, 1834.
Gentlemen: After perils by land and water,
your highly flattering crnJimunication, bearing
i date 12th ol January', has been duly received,
I and its contents having been considered, your
very humble servant, with due respect, answers
and says, that, if you are in real good earnest
about making me R esident, you are more par
tial to me that. lam to myself. You speak io
the strongest possible terms of my fitness for
office of President of the United States, and a
discharge of its dines. In this you may be right,
as I expect there is tiki ly something in me that
I have never y ( t found , ut. 1 don’t hard!'
think though, that it goes iar cnou h, for th<
Presidency, though 1 suppose I could do as the
“Government,” has done—make a whole raft
<>f Cabinet intslers, and g t along alter a
maun' r. • Rut wo be unto me, it 1 should catch
a “magi lan” while fi.- ing for a C abinet—my
Cabinet would soon blow up sky-high. It is
the wav with all great men, never to seek or
decline office. 1; y,,u think you can run me in
as Presi ent, just go a head. I had a little
. rutin r not; but you talk so pretty, that I cannot
retuse. If lam eleeted, I shall just seize the
• Id monster, party, by the hoi ns, and slmg him
right slap in the eepi st place in the great big
' Atlant'c sea
Geiitl en, I can’t iv v< u just no v toy no
tions moot the great ..dn ol govern it mat
ters, as they hardly stand in any one way long
(’ii -ugh to for any opim mabout them. Opin
ions are not the things that th< y are ( racked up
to be, no how. 1 hey get mightily m a man’s
way in after times, cv ry once in a while. I
believe, th< relbre, I shall go in for noncommittal
just a bit, and you may work the election much
more to your notion—as i.obody can misinteipret
my opinions when 1 wont express any. Run
ning against the man I do, 1 can’t get along in
any other way. Again I sav, Go ahead !

a threat, (as we understand it.) that the Governor will
counteract the process of the Court, and expects the
people to sustain him. Os the merit? of the case, we
know nothing, and will say nothing ; we are not at all
disposed to forestall public opinion, but are wiling to
let the judicial tribunals settle the question. Os Judge
Hooper, we will say, that We believe bun to be deliberate
and firm, not to be alarmed at the scurvy vapouring of
those who have made themselves notable, by changing
their political complexion for Office sake— and are now
making themselves ridiculous, by their servility to their
adopted masters. Equally vain and contemptible are the
threats of Executive interference. The people are too
sensible, to be excited to resistance to the Judiciary, even
by emanations from “ ll'ilson Governor." W e look upon
the Standard as being used on this occasion as a mere
“feeler’'—il the thing takes, we shall soon have something
fiom tiie Federal i nion. It was too dangerous an ex
periment, to risk the reputation of the latter print,in break
ing the ice, and therefore his “Lumpkinship ofGeorgia”
puts forward the subservient Standard, to feel the public
pulse—to ascertain whether the movement would be
popuiarol not, well knowing that il the experiment tails,
itrequir d nothing, but one of those simple somersets,
wli ch he of the Standard, is so capable of making, to
throw himself out of the difficulty ; and even if he should
be demolished, it would be no great loss, for he is but a
new recruit in their ranks, and one of the Swiss nt that.
This attempt on the part of the Standard, and ah its
coadjutors even back to the throne itself, to overawe and
intimidate the Judicial tribunals of the State, and to
excite the people Io resistance to the laws, is quite in
chaiacter with tlie conduct ot those who arc cinstantlv
trumpeting themselves forth, as the exclusive fr ends of

climax ot impudence and inconsistency, .17r. Standard
speaks of il as a contest, between Cherokee Sovereignty
and .Stale .Sovereignty ! Just as though he had not preach

the result was that the Lump
r kin Union Indian Lands Party succeeded, in
> electing a Sheriff’, Clerk of the Superior Court,
i and two Justices of the Inferior Court. The
1 State Right’s Party were entitled, from the votes
> polled and counted, to a Clerk of the Inferior
: Court and Ihree Justices of the same. At thd
Allatdona precinct the only acting Justice of
> the peace was a candidate for Justice of the In
. ferior Court, and presided, with the proper num
; ber of freeholders, over the Election at that
' piecinct. At that place the three State Rights
candidates above retered to received a majority
of the votes, which gave them the ascendency
in the Election, and which w hen stricken off left
the three Judges elect, in the minority, and a tie
between the Clerks of the Inferior Court.
This is a plain simple statement of facts, so
far as they occurred here—the balance, I ap
prehend, lies between Mr. Lumpkin and his
Prime Minister of Indian affairs, for Cass coun
ty. It i- at least certain that the latter Gentle
man, in company it is said, with a Justice of the
- peace, of pulled nose memory, made an early start
to the seat of Government, and on their return,
brought commissions for an entire Lumpkin
Court, with the information that the votes given
in in the district ut Allatoona, had been thrown
, nut of the return, and of a tie between the can
didates for Clerk of the inferior Court.
I do not mean to discuss the propriety of a
candidate’s presiding at his own election.
Those who arc curious on that subject, can re
fer to the general law regulating elections at
, piccincts. to be found in Foster’s Digest, and to
the law ot 1832, (pamph.) creating election pre
cincts in this county amongst others. In the
law first reiered to, they will find that it is made
the duty of Justices of the peace to preside over
elections in the various precincts, and that no
provision is made f. r the existence ot such a
. case as the one before us. It may also be ob
( served tha» th election precincts created by (he
. Statuti* of 1832, come under the provisions and
regulations of the Statute first mentioned, and
I that this act (1832,) is assented to by Wilson
. Lampkin, as Governorofthe State. The whole
[proceeding, therefore, was clearly within and
under the authority of these Statutes, and if there
is delect which Mr Lumpkin did not discover
when he gave his assent to the bill, creating it
tlie Law of the lan , let the blame rest where it
justly belongs.
But even if Mr. Lumpkin did believe that the
election, in that precinct, was irregularly con
ducted, w hen does he find it ins duty, or whence
derive the right to deprive a majority of the pro
;!■■ <d ( ass county of their claim to Judges of
th." inferior < ourt ! How is he authorized to
sliift t I result of elections ? 'I here are prece
; dents, I believe, when affidavits of illegal votes
sufficient to change the result of an election, '
have b en forwarded to the Executive on which
anewelectCn has been ordered; but Ido not
call to mind a single instance where a Governor
I. s appointed his own p ditical friends to offices,
I to w‘ k h others have been elected by the votes
, of the people. Lven if there had been no Pre
cedent, a sense of delicacy, or of honor, rni"ht
i have prompted Mr. Lumpkin to a different
. course. Perhaps however he may have “as
sumed the entire r sponsibility” m this case,
gem lomdy tlnowing himself into the breach, to
r save devoted Gass county from her own infatu-
I i ation, in < le< ting officers ofdiflerent political no
; trims from Inmsclf. ft may have been a con
. scientious duty he owcii to this people, to save
them from the curse of having public justice
admmist' red at the hands “rd rebels and trai
t >rs;” some su< h benevolent spirit must have
moved him, fm the other candidates were cc
tairJy not implicated in the sin of him who p
; sided, and might have expected a little of tn«. 4
" Cjra utivi clemency” for which Mr. Lumpkin
is so rr markable.
If it is indeed true that the Governor of Gccr
iria has devote d his political enemies to exter
mination, and that he fosters the lowest party
J intrigues in petty < ounty elections, to sustain
base party cn is, then how low are we sunk!
while the State sleeps over her lost honor and
insulted dig >ity, these corruptions still arc nour
i-hed in the very seat of her existence, and arc
istnbut'd to ..11 th< parts, stamping her own
<b gracation still more deeply— how long will
Georgia sleep !
I say nothing of those men who received their j
commissions under the Governor’s appoint- V
mt nt, they art known at home.—But J must

(who is a I umpkin n is Jiki ly to retain his 1
