THE' MACON ADVERTISER, Ai\l> AGKICIiLI RAI, A\l) MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER.
We need not tell you, Sir, who Mr. Lumpkin
Is. It is well known to the people of Georgia,
that previous to the rupture between the President
and Mr. Calhoun, that Mr. L. refused the solici
tations of one or two of his clamorous partizans,to
desert his post in Congress, and become a candi
date for the chief magistracy of our State. His
refusal was based upon the plea, that a crisis had
arrived in the Administration of the General Gov
ernment, which required the undivided support
of every true hearted republican. He therefore
determined to breast the contest by retaining his
seat in Congress, where, he intimated to us, he
could he more effectually employed in resisting
the war which was waging against Southern feel
’ ing and Southern interest, than by agitating our
State in becoming the leader of a restless faction.
Such a course, at that time, elicited our admira
tion. But, .mark the sequel! No sooner had
Mr. Calhoun opened his masked battery against
President Jackson, and presented an opposition
more formidable than any he has yet had to en
counter, than, wonderful to tell, we see Mr.
Lumpkin’s sensitive regard for Southern rights
'all at once evaporating into “ thin air” and find
him acceding to the overwhelmning wishes of
his friends, f the Editors of the MUledgeville Union
and Augusta Chronicle,) to become a candidate
for the Executive Chair.
Here, Sir, you will perceive, is indubitable ev
idence of the shameful tergiversation of this po
litical charlatan. In the first place he promptly
refused the invitation of his cat.calls to canvass
the gubernatorial election, when the General Ad
ministration was floating upon the full “tide of
successful experiment.” A desertion then, of
the distinguished personage who wields the des
tiny of our Republic, would not only have been
inconsequent as to any ulterior opposition, but it
would have been the immediate signal for the
sacrifice of the daring apostate. This Mr.
Lumpkin well knew. But, as soon as Mr. Cal
houn raised the standard of rebellion, and ere he
was followed by Bohadil Ingham, and bis delu
ded compatriots, the scales fell from the eyes of
Mr. L., and by a patriotic intuition lie discovered
that his services were no longer necessary to the
support of a Government, which had become
temporarily weakened by the desertion of its pre
tended friends. If there can be any posture in.
which a public man can place himself that dis
plays more duplicity than this,or which evidences
a more treacherous disregard of the confidence
which has been reposed in him by a deluded but
honest people, we look for it in vain. The
history of our State, heretofore, furnishes no
such example—no such blot upon her civic es
cutcheon. Were we uncharitable enough, we
would say, that an exhibition like this, not only
argues a political, but a moral depravity of heart of
the most serious character. At least it is an at
titude which no man of common sense would as
sume, who regards his private or official reputa
tion. The coward may urge constitutional im
becility as a justification for the desertion of his
colors —but there is no absolution for the traitor
who renounces his loyalty to principle.
Now, Sir, a little reflection will convince you
of the ambidextrous game which Mr. Lumpkin
has been playing. He had sold his fealty to Mr.
Calhoun, even at the time when he was lauding
Jackson to the skies. But the time had not
come for Mr. L, to act. The signal rocket was
Mr. Calhoun’s defection —when that was seen
sparkling in the skies, alas, for the patriotism
of the age! the qualms which so lately
disturbed the former gentleman’s political con
science, ceased to operate. There was now—ac
cording to his calculation by the doctrine of chan
ces, no tie to bind him to the Administration —and
deserting it, when it most needed support, he
comes back to Georgia to insult the people by
offering to govern them as the parasite of that po
litical weathercock —we mean JohnC. Calhoun.
The name of this inan.Sir, moves us from our or
dinary composure, and has arrested in some de
gree, the main object of this address. But you
will bear with us —andnow to the point.*
Asa candidate for popular favor, you are, Sir,
engaged in a canvass which must enlist all your
honorable feelings. You have thus far sustain
ed your pretensions with a spirit and imlepend-
ence consonant with your uniform character. —
Yon occupy a high station in the rank of your par
ty —but, excuse us Sir, when we say, that you
are not entitled by experience or services to a
distinction as elevated as the one which is now
enjoyed by ydur talented compatriot. Do not
think, that we wish to make an inviduous dis
tinction.—No Sir. Recause it is by no
derogatory to your reputation to have it under
stood that you act a secondary part to the “Lord
of the Ascendant.” It is this conspicuous stand,
however, which you occupy, as a member of the
State Rights Party, which has induced our polit
ical adversaries to incense you against Governor
Gilmer —for they well know, if they can succeed
in inducing you to canvass the election to an is
sue, that the weight which you will carry in a
division of the party, would in all probability se
cure the election of Mr. Lumpkin.
This is the point, Sir, upon which we would
fix your most serious attention. Having been
longer—and more actively and prominently en-'
gaged in the public service; Mr. Gilmer lias se
cured to himself a share of popularity (which will
rally around him a majority of our party. It is
this important consideration, which irrcsistably
impels us to advocate his re-election, and to dep
recate an opposition which might prove fatal to
the democracy of Georgia. V\ e know the enthu
siasm of your feelings—we know your devotion
to principle. But, reflect Sir, seriously reflect,
upon the ingenious manoeuvres of our adversa
ries; and we flatter ourself you will not hazard
the safety of our party by a fruitless opposition
—an opposition which, if persisted in, may
probably not’only throw us back two years, in
sustaining the character, which we now enjoy, of
a Sovereign State—n character to which you have
contributed largely-but leave us completely at
the mercy ofa potty 4 combination ol small mi
norities.”
We have addressed you, Sir, for the good of
our common party, and in the sincerity of our
heart. Do not weaken, we beseech you, the
bonds winch bind us together—but postpone uu
til a more auspicious period your merited claims
to public attention. It will detract nothing from
your patriotism. On the contrary, it will ad
vance J'on in the estimation of all good and re
flecting men, and ultimately secure, permanently
to the State, a patriotic,, an enlightened and a re
publican Administration.
From the East.
The following remarks which we extract from
the Correspondence of the “Rural Cabinet,”
contain a good deal of sound sense and biting
satire. Mr.*Luinpkin’s friends appear to be do
serting him in “his greatest need—
“lt is a pity that Haynes and Gilmer will
not come to some understanding and one of
them resign. Ido not believe that either of
them can be elected if both continue to offer,
I would vote (should L vote at all and that is
doiibtful)for either in preference to Lumpkin,
and from me, a Clark man from my youth
upwards, such an opinion must sound strange
in vour ears. It is true, Lumpkin is the fa
vorite supported by the Clark Party, but it
makes him less worthy in my estimation than!
otherwise, because lie originally belonged to j
their opponents ; why he has left their ranks
—upon what principle he has deserted their
colors, is still a secret which he keeps to him
self—if, indeed, he has any beside his wan
ting an office offered him by the suffrages of
his ancient and original opponents. A polit
ical apostate,l despise. If the personal friends
of Lumpkin had been true to their professions
they would have told him a different tale. No
man can expect to stand fully and fairly in
the confidence of a party to whom he has once
been in opposition; he may be distinguish
ed—but never trusted. If he should be elec
ted, mark the end of it. If he wavers for a
moment in any decision, the principle of
which is on this or that side of the line drawn
by the Belligerents ; that moment you may
date the downfal of Lumpkin. But perish
politics of the present period. There are not
more than two ‘true men’ extant and one of
them is fat, all the rest are leather and pru
nella. Place and principles have become
articles of merchandize, things of‘bargain
and sale,’ and an honest (jolitician is as great
a curiosity as a Unicorn arid Griffin would be.
If this system of barter continues, the next
generation will speculate finely on political
honesty, and opr surprise, could we look
down (or up) and see and hear would, or
ought not to be, very great if within seventy
or one hundred years, we hoar of such tilings
as the exhibition of a live Patriot—Let us
fancy the adxertioement, in the case, on the
same scale as the shower-off of w ild and
scarce animals. We will supposed it headed
with “GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY.”
‘Will be exhibited, during the next week,
for the inspection of the curious, a Real Live
i Patriot, supposed to belong to the same spe
cies as those mentioned in History, in the
last century. This has been the only one
seen for a great number of years past, and
entirely refutes the opinion, more than once
pronounced, of of the entire extinction of
that race between the years of 1830 and 40.
: ts appearance is at once Noble and Comman
ding, but we fear its nature is untameable.
N. B. It is not one of those animals which

therefore the history*of the times, in which
they were said to be plenty, must be errone
ons. To guard against accidents, it will be
gagg’d during the exhibition.”
From Use West.
Our accounts from this quarter arc flattering,
and augur well for the triumph of piineiple. The
last Columbus Enquirer , says:
“Mr. Gilmer's success is becoming every
day more certain. There is no doubt that
he will succeed over Mr. Lumpkin by a large
majority. We believe that the hopes which
Mr. Lumpkin’s friends some times since en
tertained of his success, are nearly extinct
Many who voted for him as a member of Con
gress, under the belief that he was willing *to
sacrifice party feeling to public good, and
that he had discarded many of his pernicious
doctrines of the party to which he had be
longed, are now satisfied that his professions
of patriotism were only things of course—
they have found that his convictions of the
necessity of burying party animosity, and uni
ting our strength in the promotion of our uni
ted interests, ceased to exist as soon as he
was brought to believe that his individual in
terest might be advanced by permitting him
self to be made the instrument by which par
ty stri 'e might be engendered—they have
found that our neighbor of the Democrat was
in the right when he said that he is a slippe
ry fellow, and never stands in one place long
enough for you to find out what colour he is
of. There is something too suspicious in the
fact that he numbers among his w arm sup
porters all the Clay men and Tariff and Inter
nal improvement men in the country. Some
times since all these men were desperately
out with him, because he had deserted the
true, faith. How has he managed to recon
cile them so as to induce them not only to
forgive him for this defection but to put him
up for Governor in preference to any other
man of their party? They have others who
are consistent, who have never deviated from
the faith, who would be w illing to “sell a
State” and support the Tariff-—Why not put
up sonic of them? Depend udon it, there is
something suspicious about this thing—Mr.
Lumpkin is a very suspicious man—lie has
tried many tricks and has succeeded pretty
well, but the people begin to recollect an old
fable they have read at school about the cat
that rolled himself in the meal tub—and
when they hear of Mr. Lumpkin’s patriotism
now, they begin to think “it may bo meal,
but something whispers there is mischief un
der it.”

while they were crying obliv ion for the past,
and peace for the future, they were fomenting
strife among yourselves ? Have you not
heard their cry of office, office—why not share

etly submit to the unfounded imputation !
Have you not witnessed their attempt tocom

ver let your sons say that their sires, enerva

indifierent to their own fame and reckless of
their principles, suffered themselves to be
surprised by their enemies, stripped of their
armor, and led into captivity. Surely there
is yet manliness enough among you to avert
so shameful a catastrophe. If you regard my
admonitions it will not happen. Rather than
witness it let thick darkness fall upon me,
and hide me forever fjom the black disgrace
that must otherwise be the lot of a party to
which I was proud to be attached.
Let ine adjure you then, once more, by all
j the glorious recollections of the past, by all
the bright anticipations of the future, to bury
in oblivion’s deepest abyss, every private

strictest union among you. The Republic
is verging rapidly to consolidation. It can

Your situation, in some respects, is enviable.
In point of location, you are in the centre of the
State, and at the door of commerce. Such advan
tages usually promote intelligence and patriotism.
With these high gifts should come a free, inde
pendent spirit. That dignified quality always
manifests itself by independence oi action, especi
ally in the choice of rulers. An enlightened and
free people will listen to, and read with attention
all fair political discussion, that may tend to the
elucidation of correct principles, or the exhibi
tion of the merits of the Candidates who may of
fer tp serve them: but, they will frown indig
nantly upon, and scorn all personal, begging ap
plication, to induce them to degrade their right of
suffrage by the surrender of their votes to personal
or party aggrandizement. I appeal to you, fel
low citizens of Bibb county!, ana ask you,wheth
er such attempts have not been made ! Whether
a certain Ex-Senator, Ex-Judge, and others of
the same party, ha ve not been personally appeal
ing to independent citizens, meanly soliciting
their votes for Bartlett and Griffin, and falsely
charging the opposing candidates arid party with
nullification and disunion? If they have, do ask
them whore they were when the Hartford Con
vention was plotting the dissolution of the Union?
when the Northern Militia refused to cross the
line jjjß-when the Indian savages were tomahawk
ing and scalping our women and children?—when
the Capital of the Union was wrapped in flames,
and when our sea-coast was drenched in blood,
by Rape, Rapine and Murder ? Ask them these
questions, and if they d? not answer yon, and an
swer you truly too, their retiring modesty may be
relieved by a public exhibition of the facts.
Is it decent—is it honest —for men, aspiring to
political consequence, to make beggarly appeals
tothepublic? lias it come to this, that our Rep
resentatives, after serving uS without effecting
the passage of one solitary law or measure, pro
motive of the public good—after becoming laugh
ing stocks at Milledgevilleand Merry Andrews
at lionje—l say, after such wonderful displays of
talent & patriotism, has i\come to this, that these
men, should now, sofar insult common sense and
common delicacy, as to DICTATE to us who
shall be /Aerrsvtccessors in office? Yes, fellow
citizens, this is their aim. You elected them—
they returned without beingable to show one good
deed —and now, they have the presumptuous in
solence to expect that you, good easy Sirs, will
permit them to say, who shall be your Represent
atives in Urn next Legislature, and tha- you should,
in "all things bow obsequious to their Jack Cade
honours. Shame! shame! where is thy blush?
What are the qualifications of Baber wnd H*i/r?
and what are those of Bartlett, Griflin and Groce?
These, fellow-voters, are plain questions, Which
your own good sense can solve, without the kind
aid of Esquire Ross, or Judge McDonald. These
arc the men who seem desirous to palm upon you
a succession, am! thereby introduce the hereditary
principle of office into our free government. Are
you not, freemen of Bibb county, as well acquain

We received by to-day’s mail additional ad
vices brought by the packet ship Sheffield, arrived
at New' York The most interesting item is a
paragraph in the London Courier, which announ
ces the adjustmentof our claims on France for spo
liations on our commerce committed under the
Berlin and Milan decrees. These claims have re
mained unsettled for about twenty years. The
wisdom and energy of President Jackson, have
finally brought the protracted negotiation Unjust
and specific issue. The French Government
has agreed to pay as an indemnity to the citizens
of the IT. States, 25,tW)0,000 francs, exactly one
million sterling. This, no doubt, the opposition
will array against the government as additional
evidence of its inefficiency at home, and its want
of influence abroad. If they do, we shall not
blame them for it; for, like Falstaff, they are “la
boring in their vocation.”
Augusta, August 20.
Extract of a Letter, received in this city,dated
Liverpool, 7th July 1831.
For tiie last six weeks our Cotton market has
continued to be much depressed ; and although
the imports do notvary materially from tliose of
the preceding year ; and the consumption, as it
regards spinning and manufacturing, is not less
than it was ; yet from the low and unprofitable
prices that can be realized by Yarns for expor
tation, the holders of Cotton have been compel
led to lower prices, short-stapled Cottons having
further declined Id, and Nea Island 2d per lb.
Last week the Bill was brought into Parliament
to increase the Duty on Cotton to 5s lOd perewt.
& as it is expected to take effect immediately, our
market has this week assumed a more steady ap
pearance, and the sales are at an advance of |d
per lb : but even with the benefit of the lower
rate of duty, we are sorry to observe that sales
cannot yet be effected without subjecting die im
porters to loss. The sales of Cotton in the last
weeks average-14,880 bags per week, and in the
:ast amounted to 15,690 of which 4640 were Up
lands of very ordinary to fair quality at 4 j tosjd;
and good fair to good at 6d to 6J and. very prime
(which are very scarce) command 6Jd to 7d;
2470 Alabama and Mobile, ot very middling to
good quality, at 5d to 6Jd; 3000 Louisiana and
Mississippi, of ordinary to fair quality, at sid to
6Jd, and to 7£d for good fair to good ; 1529
Sea Island, by public auction, at to for
inferior to fine, Sec. &c.
The exports of Cotton this year have been 35,.
438 bags, and to the same period in the last they
were 11,365. Tile demand for some descriptions
of Cotton Goods, is less extensive than .it was,
and the prices are a little lower; but upon the
whole this branch of the manufacture may he con
sidered to be in a vigorous state; and although
the profits may be small, the consumption is con
tinued upon an undiminished scale. There ha3
lately been more demand for Cotton Twist for
exportation, but at lower prices than the spinners
can afford to make it for, and with many of them,
it has for some time been a matter of calculation,
w hether they should go on spinning to a loss, or
stop their machinery, which also is attended
with loss, as well as considerable by the disper
sion or their laoourftrs; out up to me present time
they have, with few exceptions, gone oh with
their mills, hoping for better times. The Cotton
ton trade, as far as the home market is concern
ed, is in a prosperous state, and is likely to con
tinue so; but the existing circumstances are less
favourable to a continued large trade. In
this port the stocks of produce of all kinds are
unusually large, and the holders are generally un
der large advances upon it, which would make it
j inconvenient for most to receive, and hold further
■ supplies to any extent. Compared with the con
sumption, the crop of Cotton in Europe is but a
a moderate one, and our prices are also, we think
lower than they ought to be"; but unless a great
deal of the last crop is kept in the United States
until the end of the year, we shall have but slen
der hopes of improvement. If the present prices
are so low, that the planters cannot afford to grow
Cotton to iaeet them, the way of remedying the
evil is to produce less of it, and until the prices in
Europe become higher, our advice to those who
buy it for shipment is, lb let it alone, unless the
prices in the U. 8. become lower than they have
yet been.— Chronicle,
