doctrines, great (pirnttons, cotwequence* momen

of bihtory leaches us, that the forms of freedom
nmv lung survive it* substance ami the maxim in
not more true than true, that “Klcrnnl vigilance in
the price of liberty "
Our own brief nnnnbi furnish it* with ilr king
illipdr.Ui in*of lltr sfilcmn truths, Through much
forhenranre, *nriclice, and iniilual entnproinh e, our
forefathers, who had learned the value of Ireedom
at the co»t of their blood, nu t whoso palriotiHin
hud been pur (ied and strengthened by the (ire of
persecution, succeeded in framing .i ('on*iiinlion,
which bletulN in harmouioii* union the erst mini
elements of liberty nnd order It is known, llml in
the convention which accomplished lliiw great and
good work, there we e some hostile lo popular in
alitnlion*. and more who sincerely doubted their
efficacy or durability. l'’oriuiinlely for tut, and for
those who are to come after n*, they who had
( nib in the r'ght and advantage of self-government
prevailed, nnd (ho result hi* proved that their
nope* were not v ain, mu their confidence misnp
plied—a* more thim half a century has now
elapsed since the finishing alone was placed upon
that noldo nnd protecting edifice. Under the fm
lering guide, and inching nnpnhe of free p> mcipl.-s,
we have rapidly grown up to he a great people,
nnd have made ourselves felt ns a power of the
first cl*** among the nation* of (be earth 11 1-11 »-
ry furnishes not the most remote parallel of a pro
gresa so marvellous and a prosperity so pervading
it is, a* it were, lint yesterday, and wlieti these
United State* verified the prophecy, “A nation
shall be born in a day " And what do we al
ready behold f Magnificent cities stud tin* »m
manse line of our const, and even crown the bank
of our remotest river*. Immense regions, who h
were waste and wilderne*s when we started in
the career of tuition*, have been transferred into
flouriidnng State*. The majestic stream* which
penetrate our widespread territory, like the vein*
and arteries (hat convey the life-blood through the
human frame, groan under the burdens of indus
try and agriculture, while our ship* expand their
kail* lo every bree/e which ktir* the bosom of Ihe
ocean. And what in belter slid, civilisation has
made an equal prourwss The school-muster is
abroad m the Uud, and religion lifts her soothing or
warning voice on every side All these blessings,
fellow eiiiy.en*, which make n* indeed a picuhar
people, we owe to the establishment of a well or
dered t'ommonwealth; we owe them lo those, who,
in spite of the fears ol the timid, and the ol jeelinni
of the hostile, infused largely into mir institution*
the vilifying spirit of freedom We need not ask
if the Mime nappy and ennobling result would have
been vviliiessu.l, hud their adversaries triumphed
Ifnt those who re defeat! dor disappointed in
the Convention, v\i. eh formed our wise and free
Const union, did not renounce their principle* or
their design*. They*" uh( lo cllecl covertly nnd
indirectly, licit which, when op oily proposed, had
been rejected. They endeavored lo stain the Con
stitution from its literal expression and obvious
meaning, to accomplish their original purpose*
They strove to assimilate substantially and in prac
tice, to the foreign model, which they admire, in
spite, nay, *ome of ihein on account of it* abuses
nnd corruption*. Already under ihe administra
tion of Washington the eloquence nnd sophistry o|
Hamilton, in defiance of the remonstrance* of the
leader* of the Hepiihlie in party, commuted vio
lence upon the Constitution, hy the e*iahlishinenr
4»f a Hank of the I.'titled States, the creature and
instrument of a vicious funding system, ami the
prolific source of the Kindred evils which have fol
lowed in tho train. This wa* dune, too, when the
recollection was fresh,that the power to create cor
porations, bad,in the convention, been proposed to
lie given lo the Federal (»oveminent, hut rejected,
for the very reason, among Others, that it might
lead to the establishment of a bunk. W lint a les
son of vigil-men does it not n i l to ns. when we re
flect, that lids net of usurpation wu* committed or
sum tinned by men, the integrity of many of w hot»
it Wf re temerity to question.
When once this inroad was in t'e np-»n the Con
stitution, Ihe accumulation of riiiisequeiilial ev I*
was rapid Among these, in the sme ceding ndmi
lustration, an expensive ami oppressive standing
army, an alien and sedition law, w Inch invested the
President with power* uneon-titiilional and tv ran
meal, stand nnonviahly conspicuous. Ibn a young
people, w ho were *■• near the sourer of their liber
ties, and whose minds were yet imbued with the he
roism of their revolutionary struggle, were not ea
sily corrupted or subdued. They opposed a manly
resistance of these usurpations, w hu 11, if it did not
at once check, soon hurled the offenders from the
high places ol power. The helm was then grasped
by the vigorous hand of a Repm/iemi statesman,
nnd the vessel guided in the emn.-e laid down hy
the Constitution To (hi* fortunate change ami
patriotic reform Virginia chiefly contributed: and
Ihe fumm-s Report an I Uesohnioii* of her Legisln
lure, which the occasion culled forth, are still ap
pealed'oh* the hem comment nr \ upon the Consti
tution and the ablest defence ol our reserved rights.
But the Federal parly, th ugh vanquished, was
not extinct. Its voire was heard in angry, though
vain murmurs against die principles and policy of
Air. Jefferson, then, n* now, stigmatized sin hostile
to order, property, moral*, and religion: That i
gteal statesman had predicted, after his election to
the Presidency, that “ Pin* Federalists would never
attempt again to get into power nnd r their own
proper name " After retiring from the Presiden
tial chair, he boldly portrayed their prominent fea
tures in the following terms; * The Federal party
look* to a single and splendid Covern neiit ol an j
aristocracy, founded on hanking institutions and j
moneyed corporation*, under the guise and cloak
of their tavured branches of manufactures, coin- 1
merer,.ami navigation, riding and mPing over the
r hindered ploughman and beggared yeomanry ** —
t was not, however, nnid ihe country was involv
ed in a war w ith Engtanl, that it ventured to lift
up its hesd and prepare for n new struggle. Tnk- •
ing advantage ol the danger and dismay of such a
crisis, it organized a desperate opposition against
the constituted autboriuei of the country. r Ves,
fellow-citizens, when every generous heart glow
ed with patriotic devotion, nnd every true arm was
bared for the conflict, there were those within our
own bosom who taunted our weakness, gloried m
our defeat* mocked at our ralamnie , withheld all
sympothy and supftort from our gallant nnd suffer
ing defenders, and even meditated disunion, while
n powerful enemy “was ravaging our borders, and
giving our Capitol to the flames!" Among ihosc
who plotted tho deadly designs of the Hartford •
Convention, there i* not one living who is not now
; opposed lo the present Administrat on. Among
ihcse who opposed iho wnr, who denied men and
rodent to cany u on, who were most active in coun

of Virginia, and w ho, if there be any truth in the
signs of the time*, is contemplated to be the leader
of a new dynasty These men, however, failed in

’ Tho areal questi ms w liich have agitated the pub
lie innid during the late ai d present Admiuislra

qneslioiiH which dixideo parlies at the oiigin of the
■ i tiovrrmnent. A* they were arrayed then, they
are marshalled now; and the o il war is renewed
i’ between the friends of an equal aid well regulated
* liberty, and the partisans ol privilege and monopo
ly. We shall bristly recap tulatc the principle*
I maintained nnd proudly avowed hy the Republican
- party of Virginia.
We believe that the I'onslituiion is a compact
between the States, and that the Federal (iovern
menl is invested with those powers only which are
given toil in express terms. We believe I lint pub
lic morality »* a* binding ns private integrity, and
that the terms of the C*oiisiitutiun *h nld be bed as
s:\ered as the ward of honor. Such a rule is our
only defence against those insidious encroachment*,
w liich are more t-* he dread* d than avowed lentili
tv. We believe lhal no mono should he levied
from the people, which i* not required for the logi
innate purpose a ol revenue, nmi that (lie amount

with an enhghteiud eneiouiy. *Vo arc tillerly

unnecessary, but both reason mid experience prove

mil Improvement by the Ueneral (iovernroent, be

iiiMirpernble objection, and bemuse wc believe

is proelainu'd, mid llicgrjitidttlioiiwhi. il is express*
ed, that the State of Now York is now a sale .a ' Inin
lor Ihgitivc slaves. I .cl them see with what rejoic
ing n law is received which throw s every impediment
in their way in the recovery oftlieir properly, and
w hit-h embodies in its provisions the most odious
discrimination in the species nl'evidcnco which w ill
lie received in favor iiftho servant, from that which
will be received from the master; and, finaliv, let
them remember that this law was passed by n Il'A/g
IsifisJntiirr, nnd is hailed by the Ahtiiitionists as the
, “firxf stcp" in the turning of the tide in their favor
at the North. The Anli—SJuvery Kdilor hopes that
the Legislature will give them ‘banotlier lift next
wint-r.” which it will uiKjitestiouahlx do if ir is com*
posed of a majority ol \\ hies—- lor from the Porno*
j era tic party he and his friends know that tiiey have
nothing loexpect but determined hostility. “The
nine months’ law” alluded to is one whicl) permits
any person, not nu inhabitant of (his State, who shall
he travelling to or from, nr piißsiug through the Stale,
! to bring his slave with him. and lake such slave a*
way again at any time w ithin nine months. If the
slave resides here more than nine months he is de
clared free. The Whig Abolitionists hopes that the
next Whig Legislature w ill repeal this law, so that
1 if any Southern gentleman who is induced by plcn
‘ sure er convenience to visit New York shall happen ■
to bring with him ids servant, who by the Constitu
tion of the country is lawfully bis property, such
servant shall, at once, the moment his foot touches
the roil of this Stale, become free. 1 hat the y\ lugs
have expensed Ihfdr readiness to repeal this low,
and it forms part of the ron-ideration upon which,
on the eve of ilia election, the mock nominations of
the Abolition party will be withdrawn, wrf have no

This result, wc remind the reader is derived from
. arithmetic. Wc may be charged hv bankers with
being too sanguine of selling our stocks or making
collections, hm they will mu deny our arithmetic;
they know it is correct and dare not deny it —for
number* cannot rrr. And we remind those hank
ers ami their followers that they would have been
eijuujjy incredulous had they been told six months
ago, that the Bank could have met the heavy exac
tions of tl|C Government and loaned the people the
handsome sum cf $730,0: ;‘0 without being at any
lime indebted in n sum great, r limn $1,000,000. A
friend Ims shown ns the figuring ot one of these
gentry, which, w«? have no doubt, he deals out lo
siich'tui will hear him; it contains iho two following
charitable items,
“Circulation ofContral Bank, $1,500,009.
Depreciation fifty percent., a consequent los* to
; iho bill holders of $750,000,” j
This is the nonsense, or rattier, me nuommame !
wickedness willi which the people are attempted lo
he cheated. , „ . , , ,
Here, then, wc have the “upshot” of the whole
affair. The Central Bank will loan $750,000 in a |
manner and m a ’i ne to render the greatest service j
ever done the p ople of the rftate of Georgia It
will pay Government expenses nnd public debt lo
th * amount of one million of dollars. Il will issue j
of its hills for circulation, nearly $1,000,000, and
cm, it necessary, reduce that circulation by the first j
of Jannnrv, to about $300,000, and have a clenroiid :
unincumbered capital o<" more than $ 1 ~300,000.
And now hankers and brokers, and partisans of
bankers and brokers, stand forth—acknowledge the
t m th of these statements, or show their falsehood.
Doit hv arithmetic and we will acknowledge our
error. For we know there can be no mistake tn
number*. .

W c l.'.irn that llu* linn. \\ . ('. has h»*en
stating from the stump that ho had a draft on the
Tr.'n-om'r, as a m.'inbcr of Congress which could
he paid only partly in specie, and that a piece of
gold, wliieli ’he then held in ins hand, was the lust
dollar in ill;* Snh-Tr. .isnry.
Whether this reckless statement was ever made
or not, tb' hundred* whom he addressed inu*t well
know. But, if made, wc pronounce the whole lo bo
utterly groundless.
On inquiry, wo find that when the honorable Mr.
Johnson, or some other person lor him, presented
hi* certificate, nnd not a draft, for payment, the
whole ol it, and nol a part onlv, was paid in specie;
and that over twenty thousand dollars iu specie, in
<l ad of not a dollar, still remained in the verv room
where it was paid, nnd over a million of dollars in
tlie Treasury. We learn further, that instead oftlie
Sub-Treasury being then or since bankrupt, or
any debt due being then or since not paid when de
manded, or any Treasury note.dne then, since or be
fore, not being redeemed when presented, and this
iu specie, if desired; that the very reverse lias been
the case concerning the whole of them. And we
are happy lobe informed that nt no lime since the ■
Independent Treasury went into operation, has the 1
i umouut of money in ilia Treasury been legs (half a (
i million oi iumcb.i im- »
discredited or bankrupt under its operation. ! r
I do much tor the honorable VV. C. Johnson, ood c
his having stripped the Independent Treasury of ail r
its specie.
How often has the country been ruined since Mr. j r
Jefferson’* election by such croaking politicians as j c
ilia honorable member? And how much more ruin r
tug i* the Sub-Treasury destined to endure under r
' their heavy drafts on public credulity ?
