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, GEO.

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. { To Messrs. 11. G. Lamar, and others, ; Committee, etc. Mount Nope, > 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. ’ j To Messrs. H. G. Lamar, and others. 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.
