MAC<>N Ci INVENTION.
LETTERS IN REPLY TO AN INVITATION TO
ATTEND THE MEETING.
Tuscaloosa, (Alabama,) >
Aug. 15, 1844. y
('.rentfemcn , —l have just had the plea- j
sure If) receive your polite invitation to
participate in the deliberations and coun
sels of the State Mass Convention of Geor
gia. to be hold in the city of Macon on the
22d inst. with a view to ‘‘the momentous
questions involved in the pending Presi
dential canvass;” and I regret to say, |
that it will he out of my power to indulge i
tin,* sincere gratification and high honor
r- o I
which that interesting occasion would 1
afford me to associate and consult with the |
choice spirits of Georgia, who will be pre- j
sent, ami thereby “to lend (my humble) |
aid in the maintenance of those great ,
Democratic principles, which alone can j
secure the perpehtity of the Union, and the
purity of its republican institutions,”
You arc doubtless aware, gentlemen,
that until lately, I have for many years,
acbul w ith the w hig party, and f may add,
honestly, faithfully anti consciei t ously,
ais many of your late Representatives in
Cong rose can testify.
During my official cooperation with
that party, the propriety of a United States
Rank and its proposed alternative, the
Sub-treasury, constituted in my estimate,
the gn at and leading questions of party
division. 1 believed the firmer to he a
republican measure, and, in a qualified !
form , more expedient than tlie latter, and !
therefore supported it. The Tariff to
which as a measure of protect inn and
haunty I have always been opposed, had ;
been compromi.-ed, and we were assured J
by all of that party until 1842, and by j
their great leader until very recently, \
that the compromise should be faithful- j
ly executed according to its terms.— !
Ijoral Internal Improvements by the Fed- j
oral Government had been generally i
abandoned. Distribution of the proceeds I
of the public lands had become obsolete, 1
for the want of something to distribute, if ,
for no other reason. The proposed ahro- i
gation of the veto power of the President, j
1 never considered as seriously pressed i
until latterly. And the annexation of
Texas, whenever an opportunity offered, 1
1 had supposed, from its unbounded na
tional importance, was no party question, i
and would at any time, meet with no op- j
ponent except among infatuated abolition- 1
ists and blue light federalists.
But what have we seen within the last
two years? We have seen the compro
mise entirely repudiated by the Whig par
ty! Even in the South —the tree trade
State rights, republican South—only two
Whigs, of all the delegation of that party,
are found true to her interests, her princi
ples, and her honor!!! Georgia lias the
credit of possessing the one and Mississip
pi the other of those noble and reliable
spirits. As long as lime shall roll, the
names" 1 ' Henderson of Mississippi, and
Chappell of Georgia, will be remembered
and honored for their firmness, indepen
dence and devotion to principle, regard
less of the trammels of unscrupulous
party.
T ie compromise explicitly stipulated,
that in time of peace, the maximum rate
of duty should not exceed twenty per cent.
upon the value of the article taxed; that
the value ofimports should he estimated at
the current price in our own markets;
that the duties should he paid down w th
out credit; and that certain specified arti
c es (mostly tor the use and benefit of the
manufacturers,) should he imported free
of duty. These are all of its terms in a
few words. The tin is for the benefit
of free trade—all the rest are promotive
of the manufacturing interests and operate
as protection or bounty—much more than
should have been yielded. Vet being the
contract, we felt bound to execute it liter
ally on our part.
How have the Whig party kept their
faith? The Tariff of 1842, passed by a
Whig Congress, is eminently protective and
an unblushing abandonment of the compro
mise act. both in letter and in spirit. 1
cannot here go into detail to prove this as
sertion. but it is so clear to every one at
all conversant with the subject, that none
who value truth, will venture to controvert
it. It has been significantly asked, how
ever, why did not tfie last Congress, being
Democratic, repeal the Tariff of 1842?
The reply is, that the great body of Demo
crats attempted to do so, and would have
certainly succeeded had they been sus-
tained by the Southern Whigs, represent
ing anti-Tariff States or districts. The
fact that a sufficient number of northern
; Democrats, representing Tariff districts,
voted against the repeal, to defeat it, fur
j nishes no excuse or apology whatever for
the same course on the part of Southern
Whigs representing anti-Tariff districts.
We have also seen of late, efforts made,
and successfully I believe, in part, to re
vive the exploded, ami we had hoped en
tirely abandoned, scheme of local Internal
Improvements, pressed so strenuously by
the Ad ms administration some vears ago.
W e have seen a Whig Congress proclaim
in one breath the bankruptcy of the fede
ral treasury, and in the next pass a law to
cut off an important source of revenue,
the proceeds of the public lands; and this
too at the very time they authorised the
Executive to borrow money to preserve the
public faith and credit! ! Again, we wit
ness with deep mortification every day, a
great party as one man, pressing an al
teration ofthe federal constitution, so as
to deprive the President ofany effective ve
to of hasty, unwise or unconstitutional en
actments of Congress, and this by a party
i who profess to be the disciples of Wash
ington, Jefferson, and Madison, the stead
; fast friends of this conservative feature in
our federal form of government.
And lastly during the prevalence of an
unexampled unanimity, in the South and
West at least, for the early re-acquisition
I of Texas us a portion of our glorious union,
| wo have seen almost the entire whig par
; ty strain off', blind-fold, after a leader, ;
j whose former course upon this subject jus- '
I tilled every one in the belief, that, as he '
| was in 1810—’20, the loudest and most el- j
: oquent in denouncing the unauthorised <
j cession of that country to Spain, and in
; 1825 and ’27, urgent for its re-annexation.
| regardless ofthe pretended rights of Spain
I or any other country, so he would now
; support the same policy let it. have what in- i
fine nee it ndgh' on the ajjproacfung Presi- j
dential election. j
We have scon all these inconsistencies ‘
and irrepublican practices in the Whig j
party, and yet we are invited with appa
rent sincerity, to support, for the Presiden- j
cy “the living embodiment” of such poli- ;
tical heterodoxy! Not only so, but Gear- ]
gians and Alabamians are likewise seri. |
ously asked to lend their aid to p ace into |
the Vice Presidency, and over the Arne- i
rican Senate, a man whose every sympa
: thy is adverse to our political principles, j
: our dearest interests and our peculiar in- !
slitutions!?—A man who favors the capi- j
talist more than the laborer —whose aris- \
tocra f 7.c notions induce him to compare in !
: the Senate, the great mass of the people
to a filthy dunghill —whose sickly morali
ty and perverted sensibilities, in all onr
: civil controversies with, and policy to
! wards the Indian tribes, have ever inclined
j him to favor the savage over the white
; man—and whose religion leads him to a
| union of church and state, so far at least
j as to interfere with the necessary opera
' tions of the Post Office Department on
Sunday.
If Georgia—State Rights, Anti-Tariff,
| Democratic Republican Georgia—can re
-1 concile it to herself to promote men of such
1 political heresies to the highest offices in
the gift of the American people, be assured
j gentlemen, that her sister, Alabama, can
not—will nut go with her in so suicidal a
i °
! course.
i Accept, gentlemen, assurances of the
high regard with w hich I am your friend
I and obedient servant,

Committee, &c.
Charleston, (S. C.) >
August 19th, 1844. y
Gentlemen. —When I had the honor to
receive your favor, inviting me to attend
the Democratic Convention, at Macon. I
instantly determined to accept it, and had
promised myself much pleasure from
meeting so large a number of the Demo
crats of Georgia, to whom I am attached
by all he lies of political brotherhood,
and who are so highly and justly distin
guished for their enlighted patriotism, and
ardent devotion to the cause of freedom.
It is, therefore, with a feeling of no com
mon disappointmeir, that 1 have been com
pelled, by indisposition, to forego this plea
sure.
I rejoice, however, to learn, as I do
from various quarters, that the Democra
cy of Georgia has increased and is increas
ing. and that there is every prospect of its
efforts being finally crowned with triumph.
That such may indeed be the issue, must
be the fervent aspiration of all who de
sire the restorat on of our Government to
| its origina. s mplicity and puritv, and who
| regard the Union, not only as the ark of
our political salvation, but as the only
asylum upon earth for the oppressed and
| persecuted of the human race.
It is well known, I believe, that after
the withdrawal of Mr. Calhoun, w ho was
the favorite candidate of my native State,
j rny humble efforts were devoted to the ad
: vocacy of Mr. Van Buren’s claims. But,
! notwithstanding my profound respect, and
personal regard for that illustrious patriot
and statesman, I sincerely rejoiced, for
the sake of the country, when thedistraet
, ing divisions of the Democratic party were
j so happily healed by the u animons se
lection of Messrs. Polk and Dallas, as
their candidates for the Presidency and
Vive Presidency of the Union.
Since then. I have omitted no effort at
public meetings, and through the press, to
: sustain the cause of the Democracy, and
1 promote the election of their distinguished
| nominees. And I have done this, the
| more cordially in relation to Col. Polk,
j because, having long had the pleasure of
I a personal acquaintance with him, and
being conversant, also, with all the events
of his public life, I know him to he a man
of eminent ability, as a statesman, of great
I power and impressiveness as a speaker,
| perfectly familiar with the true theory
1 and genius of our complex political sys
! tem, sagacious and practical in his views
j and habits, firm and energetic in his char
{ acter. prudent in council, prompt and tie
-1 cisive in execution, and thoroughly devoted
| to all the cardinal doctrines of the Demo
; cratic faith, lu a word, he is a man every
way qualified to administer the Govern- i
menl with honor to himself and advantage i
to the country, and upon whom, therefore, i
the democratic party may rely withconfi
i dence, that, if elected to the office of Chief
| Magistrate, no cxerertion will be wanting
i on bis part, not only to consummate that
■ great. American measure the annexa- 1
j tion of Texas to the Union, but to regu- ■
i late the domestic policy of tlie country, i
j according to the standard Democratic
I principles of “low duties, no debt, separa- I
1 tion from Banks, economy, retrenchment, I
and strict adherence to the Constitution.” '
It is the policy of the Whigs, and of
I some of our Democrats too, to represent
■ Col.Polkasa protectionist, inconsequence
I of his recent letter to VV. Kane, of Phila
! delphia. But no charge was ever more
i unfounded. It is contradicted by the
I whole tenor of his political life. It is re
i futed by all his speeches and votes in re
lation to the Tariff, for a long series of
years. His doctrine of a Tariff, for re
venue, as the primary object, with inci
dental protection to manufactures, is the
very doctrine of South Carolina. It is
doctrine of the Baltimore Convention, in
j which he concurs, and w hich has been
generally assented to by the Democratic
party in South Carolina, it is tbe doc
trine ofthe celebrated Exposition, pub
lished by the legislature of this State, and
has always been recognised as the creed’
ofthe State Rights party. Manufactures
i cannot be sustained without adequate pro
| tection. South Carolina has always been
j willing to give them such an amount, not
j exceeding 30 per cent., as may be neces-
J sary to benefit them, without producing
i gross injury and oppression to the export-
I ing States. The whigs go for protection
i as the primary object of a tariff, regarding
| revenue as a mere secondary matter. —
j The democrats, on tiie contrary, go for
1 revenue as the main and only legitimate
J £8
! object, to which protection is entirely in-
S cidental. This is the great difference he-
J tween them, and as Col. Polk holds the
doctrine of the democratic party, it is ab
surd to call him a protectionist, unless that
appellation can be justified by the princi
j pies of the party as expounded by the le-
I gislature of South Carolina, and again
1 promulgated by the Baltimore Conven
-1 tion.
I am aware that the efforts that are ma
! king to array this State in hostile collision
| with the Federal Government, have been
' much calculated to embarrass the democ
racy in other States, and to injure the pros
' pects of Col. Polk. The evil that has
‘ : been done, cannot be repaired; but, to pre
vent its spreading farther, I embrace this
occasion to request that the Democracy
of South Carolina, may not be implicated,
as a party, in this unfortunate and ill
judged movement. Be assured, it meets
; no support or symp Rhy from the great bo
| dy of our people. They are determined,
; in good faith, to support the election of Col.
Polk, and to co-operate with their political
i brethren in other sections of the Union.—
| They rely upon him and the party, if
I successful, to effect the admission of Tex
| as, and a reduction of the tariff. They
i will do nothing rash or premature. They
are by no means disposed to repudiate
! Mr. Calhoun, or to follow others in oppo
sition to him. Above all, they are attach
ed to the Union in the very spirit in w hich
I | that great and good man has expressed
his feeling of devotion to the stars and
. stripes. The disunion fire will soon burn
. out from want of fuel, doing no injury, it
. except, perhaps, to those who kindled. At
all events, if this movement be persisted
) in. and a trial of strength take place to de
. 1 cide the issue, there can be no rational
. i doubt, that the true democratic standard
s | of “Polk and Texas. Calhoun and Union,”
. 1 will carry every thing before it, with re-
sistless sway, from the sea-board to the
mountains.
I will only add, that as Georgia and
South Carolina, are identified in interests
and institutions, so I hope they will bo
found side by side in the approaching con
test with the whigs. The battle has l>een
handsomely begun by Louisiana, Alaha
! ma, Indiana, and Illinois. May Georgia
I soon be added to the number, and, when
the great conflict shall have ended, may
i we all bo able to rejoice in a victory,
| which will save the country from the evils
and miseries of a consolidated despotism,
and add another to the resplendent cata
j logueof Republican triumphs, by which
the political history of our country is em
i blazoned.
_
I I remain, gentlemen, with great respect
and esteem, your friend and fellow-citizen,
H. L. PINCKNEY.

Murray Co 1 ., Aug. 12, 1844. y
Gentlemen —t our letter of 30th July
last, inviting mt to be present at a Mass
Convention of the Democratic Party of
this State, to h< held in Macon on the
22d inst., and to participate in its delibe
rations and counsels, lias just come to
| hand. Having spent much of my time
■ away from my private affairs, during the
• last six years—navingspent a mostirnpor
j taut part of the last Spring on a visit to
■ Baltimore, attempting to serve our friends
j in the choice of Mr. Polk, of Tennessee,
; as our candidate for President: I find my
i engagements at home such at this time,
i as to prevent me from going to the propo
j sed convention. At it, I feel assured, you
j you will have able counsellors and w ise
i deliberations.
I The end being Jie election of Mr. Polk,
; and the establishment of a just and faith
ful administration at Washington on De
j mocratic principles, I wish you all suc-
I cess. My heart is in it, for “I love the
: name of every thing tliat’s free.” I love
the Union as formed and preserved by the
' Constution which preserves it. My hands
i are laid to it, for the country’s good re
! quires it.
I To deliberate with you in Convention,
would give me renewed pleasure. lam
persuaded there v,ould be naught for me
to do but to sit and hear. To “aid” you
to the utmost of t y power, in maintaining
the principles wv profess, would be my
duty and my pleasure. I have done so
: in times past. Tbe present with me, in
this respect, is ns the past. Th e future 1
am persuaded w ill mark no change.
In your deliberations and counsel you
need only devise the means of bringing
borne to those who act against you, the
facts now admitted, that the party called
the “Whig parly,” is the “Tariff party,”
the “Bank party,” the Internal “Improve
ment party,” the “Latitudinarian party,”
advocating the principles of the old Fcde
| ral Party , and, if there be no change in
I those of Georgia, your work is done, and
■ all Georgia will “move as one man to your
| aid,” in November next.
If they have changed, then you have
only to use the arguments they once sum
moned, to convict the Northern Tariff man
of ■‘■avarice, cupidity, injustice and oppres
sion ’ against the South; and if they are
not now in the predicament, they then de
clared the Northen Tariff man to be in,
bound by “ interest ,” and blinded by “self
: interest, and prejudices,” those arguments
i on their own authority, will be irresistible
j and they will return to their first love.—
j These arguments may be found ably set
| forth by Judge Berrien, in the Free Trade
; Address in Philadelphia, in 1834. In
: this attempt it would scarcely be desirable
to you, to use me as a witness—if it were
have you not my testimony given in June,
July and August, 1838, and barely tol
erated by the kind forbearance of those I
j then agreed with? Have you it not re
i pealed in 1839 and‘4o, and discredited
. and repudiated by those who confided?—
1 Have you it not at every trial since those
I dates?
; All I could now add, would be, that the
; whig party of Georgia now admit to be
j true o all, and more than I testified to, and
; yet seek to discredit the witness, who, at
; the hazard of forfeiting their support testi
j fied truly. This is added here only to
| shew the length to which adherence to
! mere party drives men, that you may be
j apprized of the great undertaking that lies
| before you. I have stated no peculiar
: case, no case of hardship—it is one of
| many, it marks the history of party in all
I ages.
' j To the above remark, it gives me plea
-1 sure to say there are many honorable ex
ceptions. One there is, whose name is
now before you, high-minded, honorable,
intelligent, patriotic, Mr. Chappell; sure
i ly, he will not be discredited. With
| abundant knowledge, by personal obser
vation, his testimony fully corroborates
ours. In him I trust the truth may be
established, and our country saved. For
I feel the force of the sentiment you ex
, j press, that those great democratic princi
; pies which he has acted on at Washing-
I ton, and which you profess, “alone can
secure the perpetuity of the Union.”
I remain, with great respect, your obe
-1 dient servant, MARK A. COOPER.

committee, <fcc.
Hall County, Aug. 15, 1844.
Gentlemen. — It would afford me great
pleasure to attend the State Mass Conven
tion of the Democratic party in Mucon.
; on the 22d instant, but that I am precluded
by a previous engagement, to be present
; at a meeting of the two parties on the 20th
instant, in Dab loti ega.
The contest in which we are engaged,
is one involving all that is valuable to the
south, and all that is dear to freemen; the
permanency and security of our peculiar
| institutions, and the question of tribute
from us to the manufacturing interests of
the north.
And with whom is this contest waged?
W itli my old political associates of 1832—3
—whose impatience of a like taxation pre
pared them for resistance then at the point
j of the bayonet. That resistance was turn
j ed aside by the compromise act which
promised relief at the end of nine years—
devotion to our institutions, and a solemn
assurance of ultimate justice and relief,
made that bitter draught acceptable to us.
The nine years have rolled by, and the
old oppression is restored in violation of
the plighted faith of the country—we are
abandoned by the “great compromiser”
whose high sense of honor in 1833, would
not brook the suggestion of a departure
; from “his compromise” and who said as
late as the 4th March, 1842. I am for
j abiding by the principles of the compro
j mise act —{ am for doing what no south
ern man of a fair or candid mind has ever
; yet denied—giving to the country a reve
j nue which may provide for the economi
; cal wants ofthe Government—and at the
same time, give an incidental Protection
to our home industry. If there be here a
single gentleman who will deny the fair
ness and propriety of this, I shall he glad
to see and hear “w ho he is.”
In his recent sojourn in the South, he
has received from his new friends, a new
light—he finds his old opponents in Geor
gia prepared for the latest fashions. He
avows his treachery in our midst, and that
avowal is received with acclamations by
1 the old Nullifiers of Georgia.
I The prominent whigs here, false to all
; they ever professed, faithless to the threa
; tened interests of the south, ambitious of
j power and reckless of the means of ac
quiring it, are suddenly seized with an
| extreme tenderness for the Union of these
States. They who were as successfully
as unjustly denounced in 1832—’3 for
treason and disunion, taking a lesson from
those who made thrift by their denuncia
tions, now in turn denounce their old op
ponents in like manner, and for fur less
; cause in the expectation of like thrift.—
; What! the Democratic party enemies to
the I nion ! Who believes it? Who can
i believe it? The testimony of the Whigs,
! from 1825 to 1840, supplies abundant re
futation. Their own history—their past
and their present oppressions, all prove
bow deeply rooted is the attachment of the
Democracy to the Union. By what right
—with what justice can the Whigs forbid
I our doing, whenever we may choose, what
they have done? Would they not mani
fest vastly more patriotism and far less
i selfishness and ambition in uniting with us
| in remedying those glaring violations of
| the Constitution and removing those op
; pressions about which they used to speak
■so eloquently and patriotically? But
, alas, for frail humanity! Experience has
| taught them that patriotism is not a thrifty
pursuit and that the loaves and fishes, the
honors and emoluments which are so
| pleasing in their eyes are to be dispensed
! by the oppressors of the south. They have
| served their term of duty in the cause of
patriotism, ami now they go for the honors
: and pensions—honors upon condition of
treachery to their homes and their fire
j sides! Pensions to be wrung from their
! jeered, insulted and oppressed neighbors !
—They would close our mouths—they
would strangle our complaints, because
; the statement of our grievances is but a
| repetition of what they have so long and
Iso often said before us. The ghosts of
* j C*
. their past deeds are so many reproaches
i for their present misdeeds. They would
j choke down the expression of our wrongs
as they have stiffed their own consciences.
But we are freemen, though borne jlown
: by oppressions which the whigs were the
first to denounce and are the first tojusti
| fy. We have borne them—we do boar
* them, and we may yet bear them—whilst
' we shall entertain a reasonable hope of
justice and relief. But we are freemen.
: and will never bend tbe knee in token of
submission to our opponents —we will
never kiss the hand that smites—we will
never fawn upon those who spurn us—
even though “thrift comes by fawning.”
vSuch acts we leave to the leading Whigs
of Georgia—we envy them neither their
> honors nor their humiliations.
> Thesystera of denunciation adopted by
the whigs would suppress as treasonable
1 every expression of disapprobation at the
conduct of our oppressors among whom
5 i they have recently enrolled themselves.
3 It would withhold from the ear of power
r the complaints of its victims—it justifies
all abuses—it suppresses the freedom of
opinion; hut a few years since so dear
and so useful to the whigs—and it would
1 finally establish a despotism upon the
common ruins of the Constitution and the
liberties ofthe people. But I will not yet
despair—l will look to the rank and file
i, of the old State Rights party who cannot
bo lured by higher offices than Georgia
can bestow, to vindicate their old princL
pies and their consistency—to shew to the
world that their slaves and their cotton
fields are their own, and not the property
of their leaders, to he carried away in the
Boston market. I look to the whole De
mocracy of Georgia, who are State Rights
men in heart, and who afe freemen, body
and soul, to teach those who would sell
their dearest interests, irho are the mas
ters and who the servants. The hour is
at hand when they must speak out. or for
; ever after hold their peace*
