JOHN WITHERSPOON
safore threats Of Disunion AID .uonarchy.-Gen
1no- Floyd, of Georgia, n member of the present
Congress, has expressed the opinion avowed by
Mr. Stevenson, and Mr.. Rowan of Kentucky-ssthat
Ii Mr. Adams is elected, the Union will be dissolved
--and as a necessary consequence, that MONAR-
CITY will follow. Now, it is hardly credible, that
MIR. Stevenson, MIR. Rowan and Gen. Floyd, should
arrive ut the same conclusion unless there were some
secret reasons for it. known only the Jackson leaders
ut w Washington. What these reasons are. time will
show. But that there were midnight deliberations
last winter at Washington, upon the expediency OF
dissolving the Union if the Tariff Bill passel-that
the proposition was fvoraby entertained but suspen
ded until it was seen whether Gen. Jackson would be
elected-ere IS the strongest crcunnsant;ni eridence
Jo'' betieonS Some of this evidence is found in the
sedItlous proceedings and language that immediately
succeeded the return home of the South Carolina
Delegation, the remarkable and upon any other
grounds, ineXpicable, concurrence of sentiment be-
tween Messrs. Rowan, Stevenson and FLOYD, and
the affirmation of the well informed persons, that
meetings with this object in view, were held both at
Washington and Charleston. Let the people look to
it. for the most dangerous views are entertained by
the most dangerous men, that have ever had an nu-
ence in the United States.
The author ofthe following letter, Mr.. Powell, is
citizen of highly respectable standing in Georgia. 1t
is proper to say, that Gen. Floyd has denied what
Mr.. Powell ascribes to him. So be it remembered
did Mr.. Stevenson, Mr.. Giles, Mr.. Rowan and all
the rest, though the public is not the less firmly
convinced of their having uttered what they were
charged with utterng. One who will read the
article from the Macon Telegraph, from the Olive
Branch, and Mr. PowelPs letter, will be apt to believe
in spite of Gen. Floyd's denial.

DISUNION.
Until late we have entertained an opinion, nearly
similar, to that expressed III the adjoining column by
the Editor ofhe Tclegr ap but rather more favorable
towards the certain hot-headcd politicians alluded
to. We did not believe that there was to be found
one American, of a sane mind, in any part ofthis
BLEST land, living under the benign influence of
this republican government of good laws and sharing
in the benefits of the general Union of happy sove-
reign states that could have could harbor or cherish
wish for the division of the Federal compact. But
credulityis removed. We constrained to be-
hcve, that there are many among us, who not
ly wish ACKNOWLEDGMENT of OUR happy union but will
do all they can to effect it.
In our paper Of to-day we have, in the discharge
of the duty of an Editor of public Journal added two
more names to the catalogue Of disunionsts the
thought to be such.
Col. Lewis, seems 10 be the man, alluded to by the
Hage,stown Torch Light, and we now state another
viz Gen. John Floyd of Camden county, state of
Georgia
Gen Floyd commanded a detachment of Georoia
militia against the Creek Indians in the late war and
since that time has been member of Congress from
the seventh district ofhe state of Georgia, alluded
to in the Telegraph. He is represented to be gen.
tlcman OF fine mind, and are sorry that such
should be his feeling on the subject of disunon. We
would not wanonly, willingly acerate the feeling.
or traduce the reputation of any man. and to Gen.
Floyd say he explain-our columns arc open
10 him. We send him paper. report has been
III circulation relative to the subject matter of the let
ter below and if the information Incorrect lis do
ing Gen Floyd no more than justice to let him know
thereof. and have chance 70 explan.-But if the
subject matter of the letter is correct he ought to be
known.
After having seen the piece in the Macon Tcle-
graph which we have copied, and hearing report in
Medgevic according Herewith, and understanding
that there some gentlemen in Darcn, who could
give details ON the subject wrote to the Hon.
Allen d. Powell, making inquiries the subject, and
in due time received the following letter, which we
give to the public without comment, at present, other
than tn say, think, that Mr.. Powell, who has
long filed some high stations in Georgia, with fidelity
and mach credit to himself, would not have communi-
Gated the letter, below, unless he believed that the
public good required it
