May 30, 15 3t CIRCULAR: EDWARD J. BLACK TO HIS CONSTITU ENTS, AND PARTICULARLY TO THE STATE RIGHTS PARTY OF GEOvGIAv Entertaining nti opinion I would com cal front ivy constituents, conscious of having acted on all occasions in strict conformity with the political doctrines on which I was elected, and abiding in the conviction of the trull) ol the great demon a tic principle which subjects the Representative to the wi‘l of’ Lis ■ constituent, l feel it a duty imperative upon me to give some account of my stewardship here, and to rehearse, as briefly as comports with the magnitude of the subject, the manner in which I have discharged the trust you con fided to my hands. lam admonished of the propriety of this exposition by the indications winch have lately reached me of an attempt to obliterate the invaluable principles which have heretofore characterized the Stale Rights party, and by the evident tendency of such efforis tv) merge the advocacy of measures into the blind opposition to men. Not to acknowledge the deep aversion and anxious solicitude with which I have witnessed the prosecution of these efforts, would he to affect an indifference I do not feel, and to as sume a disingeniousness as censurable as it is foreign to my character. lam persuaded the enlightened people whom I represent, if left to their own convictions of right and wrong, would not require me to oppose any man who coincides with them in opinion, or to advocate another who is their political antipode. Subserviency to men has never characterized them, and I have yet to barn that hev can be induced to abandon and deny their own will recognised and long cherished principles by waging war on a public functionary, who, whatever may have been his former position, is now with them in fact, upon almost every prominent question which divides tiie country. ‘ Principles , and not men ,’ was once our governing maxim, but, ii I am not mistaken in the signs o( the times, there are those among us, who, for whatever reason, are willing to reverse that cardinal precept . and for the sake alone ol opposition, even though the causes which produced it are removed, are ready to enrol! themselves in the lists of our ancient and implacable adver- saries. The meetings which l ave recently been held in Monroe, at Macon, and in Augusta, have convinced me that a fraction at least of those with whom I'have heretotore been associated are determined to iaist the Harrison and to advance him and his principles, to the highest office in lire gift of the people. In the resolutions which ti.ose meetings have adopt ed I cannot concur; I cannot support Wil liam H. 11a rrison h r the presidency, and at the same time preserve my. political consis tency. The iaitei I will endeavor to do, although ii may be at the cost of political martyrdom; lor, however 1 appreciate the honor ol a seat in Congress, I infinitely pre fer that ‘‘peace of mind’ which can alone result from clean hands, and a clear con science. This conclusion, not hastily attain ed, and the reasons which induced it, I am bound candor freely and openly to declare, in older that no man may Hereafter charge me with duplicity, or with misrepresenting the views and feelings of my constituents. In stating this conclusion and these reasons, I shall seek to attack no one who may differ from me, nor shall 1 impugn the motives of those who may detm it then duty to wheel upon their position, and take rank in a party which, since the days of Mr. J.fferson, have been opposed to the doctrines upon which that great man came into power. My object is simply to vindicate mysdf from the charge of misrepresenting those who elected me, and to rescue my character from the foul aspersion of abandoning the principles which have heretofore marked my polilical career. Charge me vvi Jh ‘ impracticability,'’ if you please; denounce me lor differing with a portioned my partly; abandon me as unfit to carry out the newly-adopted measures of the Macon meeting ; but do not censure me, as a Slate Rights man, for refusing to aid in the election of General Harrison, uniii it can be shown that it is lawful to separate the man from his principles—to support the one, and reject the other. While I leave it to others to reconcile their present with their former position, it is a duty 1 owe not only to myself, but to those of my friends who are not Har rison men, to demonstrate, by references clear and indisputable, nay, bv quoting our own recorded faith, that, however we may be chargeable with a want of pliability, we aVe guiltless of the sin of political apostacy. Up on this question, to the great mass of the voters of Georgia, and particularly of my own party, 1 confidently appeal from the hasty, unjus , and presumptuous judgment which a few editors of newspapers in the towns and cities have thought proper to pass upon me. For and in tiie name of a whole party they have dealt out their anathemas by wholesale upon me and those of my colleagues who ventured tolook beyond them and theirpresses to the people. Instead of submitting, in their vocation, a fair journal of facts to the belter judgment of their subscribers and patrons, i bey have presumed to arrogate to themselves the high and important prerogative ofarraign ing my motives and condemning my acts. In pursuing this course, as dictatorial to the State Rights party as it has been unjust to myself, they present themselves in strong contrast to the other editors of the State, who, whatever their individual opinions may have been, refrained from denouncing yi advance those of mv colleagues who differed with them, and were content to leave the question of approval to the decision of the people. From this position, creditable in itself and respectful to their readers and subscribers, they were at length driven by the continued and wanton attacks which were made upon themselves through the warfare urged on some of their representatives in Congress; and it was not until the individuals to whom I fust referred evinced a settled design to sow discord in our ranks and to annihilate the party, that our friends deemed it their duty to mingle in the contest. This they did, [ have no doubt reluctantly, by comparing the cour e of Judge Co'quilt, Major Cooper, and myself, with that of our colleagues who differed from us. Let it be remembered then, if harm c >me3 of this unnatural contest, that the first blow was stricken at us, and let those that prompted that blow, after our glorious party shall have been shattered in a thousand fragments, con sole themselves, it’ itey cm, ami i the ruins they have made, with the consciousness that they have destroyed, with whatever motive, the purest party which ever existed ia the j !tit-of ilines. I kav - aid I cannot support Genera! liar- | rison for ihe presidency; and, for my justifi- j canon, let us go back to the loth November, j 1833. At that eventful period the star of] Federalism culminated. Edward Livingston J had entrapped the President of ihe United ] States into an avowal of his own peculiar ; doctrines; a manifesto of which, in the cele brated Proclamation, had just then been sprung upon the country. This great repub lic was agitated from one extreme to the other ; peril and danger stared us in the face, and men were oppressed with a deep sense lof calamity. The sovereignty of the States had been invaded—their sepirate existence denied, and the 4 unity of the nation ’ pro claimed by ihe highest funetionary of the ; Federal Government. At this portentous epoch, when the soldiers of the United States were ordered to 4 stand by their arms’ for the purpose of making a practical illustration on the rdractory of Mr. LivingstonLj political theory, a small but gallant band, in the face ol overwhelming majorities, in defiance of menacing power, and with naught to animate them but th. pure hope of the patriot, assem bled at your capitol in Milledgeville, and after recording their declaration of faith, established the 4 State Rights Party of Georgia.’ Believing in the doctrines they promulgated ; actuated by an ardent desire, which knew no abatement, to contribute*my mile toward rescuing the Constitution from the grasp of Federal lyranay ; with the view of saving the 4 rights ol the States, and the Union of the States,’ I gave my adhesion, at the earliest opportunity, to the party they had formed. for the sake of the principles they had published as their creed. Did you not do likewise ? If you answer in the affirmative, let us see what those principles were to which we gave our adhesion, and then let us see whether General j Harrison approved or condemned them, and ! that there may he no mistake, I will quote j from the record. At ihat meeting, upon j motion of Mr. Gordon, of Putnam, Judge C. ‘ B. Strong was placed in the chair, and’ Mr. Sayre and Mr. Lony street were appointed Secretaries. Augustine Smith Clayton moved for a committee 4 to prepare resolutions ex pressing the s miments of the State Rights j party.! That committee; composed of A. S. Clayton, William 11. Crawford, William C. Daniel, Col. Jones, Mr. Habersham, Mr. Hitihouse, Col. Rockwell, Gen. Beall, Col. Newton, Gen. Warren, and Horn Charles Dougherty, reported through their chairman a preamble and resolutions, ihe material parts of which I will extract for the benefit of those who may think proper to refer to them. Af ter noticing the relations which then existed between the Federal and State Governments, and the angry contests which agitated the whole South in consequence of the tarifflaw, then ol force, they say, in their preamble:— ‘These last measures [the Proclamation and Force Bill] have aimed a deadly blow at State Rights, and seem now to require the united and concentrated energies of the friends and advocates of those rights to be directed to this point of attack, deemed so important by our enemies to be carried, in vfliich, if suceess should crown their exer tions, ail that is dear and valuable to freedom will he wrested from the States. 4 That it may be distinctly understood what are the principles of this Association, it will he necessary to show what are the doctrines of the Proclamation, and these are asserted in language which admits of no dispute. 4 1st. It maintains that the States of which this Confederacy is composed, never had a separate existence; for that, from the moment they ceased to be dependant on Great Britain, they formed one nation , and have so contin ued- -4 2d. That.a Stale in the exercise of its legUamate powers, has noi the right to decide upon the constitutionality of an act of Con gress, and to protect its citizens from the ope ration of an unconstitutional act, and to main tain within her limits the authorities, rights, and liberties, appertaining to a sovereign State. ‘3d. That the States have no right to secede from the Union, under ffny circurn- i stances whatever; inasmuch as secession would DESTKCY THE UNITY OF THE NATION. ‘ 4th. That the people of the twenty-four States constitute cue people. ‘ sth. That the members of Congress ‘ are all Representatives of the United States; net Representatives of the particular State from which they come? and tnat they are not ac countable to it for any act done in the per formance of their legislative functions.’ ‘6lh. That the States have 1 not retained their entire sovereignty. 5 ‘ 7th. That the allegiance of our citizens is due to the United Stales ‘in the first in stance,’ and not to their respective Siaies. ‘ These are the doctrines of the Proclama tion, and they have, at the special instance of the President, produced the Force Bill for their complete execution. This meeting doth solemnly protest against them,and as solemnly deny their legitimate deduction from the com pact which established the federal government; and that the Association now formed will resist them in every proper manner. ‘ To this end, they Resolve, That the present meeting be organized into an associ ation, to be denominated ‘THE STATE RIGHTS PARTY OF GEORGIA, 5 and recommend meetings in all the counties for the purpose of constituting similar associa tions, to be connected with that which will he formed at Milledgevilie, as the Central Asso ciation. ‘ Resolved, That the doctrines of the Vir ginia and Kentucky Resolutions, as construed and understood by Mr. Jefferson, and tri umphantly acted upon in 1825, ’O, and 7, in the State of Georgia, constitute the creed of the State Rights parly of Georgia ; and that, as all unconstitutional laws are null and void, we will whenever the proper exigency arises, resist them in any manner the sovereign power of the State may order or direct. ‘ Rcs .lved, That we consider the Force Bill as a glaring infraction of Stale Rights, and a gross outrage upon the liberties of the people; and that its continuance upon the statute book is such an acf of usurpation as ought not to-be submitted to by free arid in dependent States; and that we will use our exertions to counteract the principles of the Proclamation, and to obtain a repeal of said bill. 5 These were our principles, and this our faith, in 1833. At that time you would have indignantly rejected the claims of any man to your suffrages who did riot subscribe and acknowledge every sentence of the faith you had just promulgated. Ha3 the lapse at seven short years sapped the foundations ol our creed, and obliterated the impressions which were then made on us? ! trust not. 1 yet believe that the few among us who have permitted their honest opposition to Mr. Van Buren to drive them temporarily to the sup port of Gen. Harrison will, when his opinions and principles are known, take counsel ol their ‘sober second thoughts, 5 and at least relire from the advocacy of a man who, or: j the lath day of July, 1533. recommended this I sime [ roclamation. and Mr. Webster’s ex i p isition of it, \vi ich you had denounced, as j riie most eloquent and satisfactory exposition |of the principles of our Government. But let I Gen. Harrison speak for himself, in answer j to your resolutions adopted at Milledgevilie : j ‘ I have thus, fellow-citizens,endeavored to ; explain to you the principles which the ; Government of our Union is formed. I re ] commend to you, however, the Proclamation j of the President o! the United States, issued on the 10th of December last, and the speech es of Mr. Webster, delivered in the Senate of ;he Lmted States,-at the last session ol Congress, in answer to the arguments of Mr. Cal.Kum, as containing the most eloquent and j satisfactory expositionof those principles that ’ have recently been published. F ■ } f * u - ;n .r tnai Proclamation, I think Genera! Jackson, has rendered a serv.ce to his country of greut er magnitude than his splendid victory at New Orleans.’ What think you of that? These are if* deliberate sentiments expressed in u speech he delivered at Cheviot, in the Slate of Oaio, m 1333. Would you have elected ?je to Con gress in ISSB, il l had entertained or exposed such principles as these? And will you tolerate them in General Harrison, while you would visit your Representatives with severest cen sure for doing the same thing? Yes! this same Proclamation which General Jackson himself would n; t stand up to, but which he explained away in a subsequent paper, no far as his unfortunate position would permit, is seized upon by General Harrison, in its origi nal shape and form, without any commentary save that oi Darnel Webster, as, the most elo quent and satisfactory exposition of the princi ples of our G vernment. And yet, with this fact staring them in the face, our friends in Monroe, at Macon, and in Augusta, have avowed their intention to take General Harri son, (and t cith him, of course, his principles, and among them, this one which I have just quoted to you,) as a lit and proper person to be elevated to the Presidency ? I will not believe, until I have proof of it at the polls in October next, that such is the deliberate and cool determinationoflhe State Rights party. I will do that party the justice to believe, that the recent agitations perceptible in their ranks, have been produced by tire unnatural excite ment attendant upon a feverish opposition to J)lr. Van Buren , which will subside when his present position is better known. ‘Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide;’ let those who have been instrumental in getting up tins excitement, remember, that a corres” ponding depression will follow, and that, like die excesses of the French revolution, their violent and unlimited opposition may eventual ly retard, it not entirely defeat the very cause °! liberty arid reform which they profess lo advocate. Reformation ought not to be at tempted by corrupt means ; ‘the touch of pitch defilelhand the glorious patriots of 1800 may as well have resorted to the elder Adams as a fit instrument to put down the principles ol the Alien and Sedition laws, as vve may take up General Harrison to counteract the doctrines of the Proclamation. But, independent of this insuperable ob jection to General Harrison, I, as a State Rights man. cannot suriDort him, because I believe him to be a black cockade Federalisl of the same stamp with the elder .Mams. If this be proven to you by his own words and acts, f know enough of you to believe that you will at ieast not denounce me as an apostate from mv principles for refusing to support him for office. The Aiien and Sedition laws are known to have been tfie hateful offsprings of the administration of John Adams; thiy stamped their character upon that adminis tration. and distinctly marked the principles • and policy of the men who supported the par ty then in power. Those were days of deep excitement—the Republicans rallying under | Mr. Jefferson, and the Federalists under Mr. Adams. In 1708, when tin's conflict was at its height, and when every man in the coun try was arrayed on one side or the other, General Harrison was appointed by Jonrr Adams, then President of the United* States, ‘Secretary of the territory northwest of the river Ohio,’ and, subsequently, when he was a member oflhe House of Representatives, as a delegate from that territory, he was made Governor of Indiana by the same individual, w! o was still at the head of the Government. Would % these appointments have been made if General Harrison had been the supporter of Mr. Jefferson ? Do you not know from the character of John Adams and the times in which he lived, that they were the rewards of partisan service ? Again, the younger Adams, on the 22d May, IS2S, made him Minister to Colombia. Would that have been done if Gen. Harrison bad been a Jeffersonian Republican ? Although these facts are of themselves suffi cient to make out a primn facie case of Feder alism, let us see what Harrison himself says upon that subject. In 1826, John Randolph and himself were both members of the United Slates Senate, and in a debate which took place between them in that body, Mr. Ran dolpn said that— “He was an open, zealous, and frank sup porter of the sedition-law and black-cockade administration ; and I was as zealous, frank, and open opponent of the biaek-cockade and sedition-law administration. We differ fun damentally and totally; we never c?n agree about measures or about men. I do not jmean to dictate to the gentleman; let us agree to dilfer as gentlemen ought to do, especially nat.ves of the same State, who are antipodes to cacli ojier in politic*.” What was the reply ol General Harrison ? ‘He could not refrain from making his ac knowledgement to the gentleman from Vir ginia (Mr. Randolph,) tor the notice he had .been pleased to take of him. He bad been pleased to say that, in the administration of Mr. Adams, I was a Federalist; and he comes to that conclusion, from the course pursued by me in 1899 and 1800. At that session, the gentleman and myself met for the first time; tie in the ration of Representative from Vir ginia, and I in the more humble one of Delegate from the northwestern Territory. Having no vote, l did not think it proper to lake part in the discussion in any of the great political questions which divided"the two'par ties. My business was to procure the pas sage of the bills which 1 had introduced lor the benefit of the people I represented. The gentleman had no means of knowing my political principles, unless he obtained them from private conversations. As I was on terms of intimacy with the gentleman, it is very probable that he might have heard me express sentiments favorable to the then ad ministration. I certainly felt them—bo far, at least, as to the course pursued by it in re lation to (lie Government ol France. * For Mr. Adams, I entertained at that time, and have ever sines entertained, the greatest respect. I believe bin? to be an honest man and a pure patriot; and his conduct during that session proved him to be such. This opinion, 1 know was entertained by those two able and up right statesmen John Marshall and James Jl. Bayard.’ Here, then, is the charge and the answer. Harrison was charged by John Randolph with being a supporter of the black-cockade | and sedition law administration of the elder Adams. lie an i Ins accuser were in the pres ence ol each other, and before the country*, and if he had not been conscious of the truth ofthe charge he certainly would have denied it. On the contrary, however, he admits cve;y thing wh.ch Randolph had said of him,, and winds up the show by and h e ng an eu logium on bis early friend and hentfiicfor, the author of the Alien and Sedition laws.. And vot, we are told that Genera! Harrison is a Jeffersonian Republican! Will the peo ple oi Georgia believe i; ? Having no vote, he abstained from mingling publicly in debate on the great political questions oi the day, but he distinctly admitsJhat, in‘private conversa tions, as lie was intimate with the gentleman, it is very probable that he (Randolph) might have heard me (Harrison) t xpres* sentiments l favorable to die then- •■’din.iii- , .:at;on[oi John [NO. 17.
