 ceed to apply this ayicn to his own col
 duct. '. ifiiiiie a member ii Mr Fi FAiies
 roes cabinet, no man was more actIV
 in fastening the protective system on in
 nation than he. It was a splendf
 scheme and dazzled the eyes of it's ad
 vocates. He was then past thirty year # of age-yet in 1928, when he was SC veraI years older, he presided at th, # State Excise meeting in the town of 4 thens, and contemplated with pleasure \ tto "sepssteAss'e Me Jaioss, 7 and len 3 the sanction of his name to the princ pie that a State may conssitutionaliy, by imposing an Excise, nullyya c fazO passea 6y Congress. This was certainly chang ing hispolitics after he was thirty years of age. Therefore according to his maxom, he was induced to the change by seJfsh and dishonest naotiges. But slis variations did not sop at this point. 1t having been ascertaned in 1881, that John C. Calhoun had become the main spring of nullifeation in South Carolina, Mr. Crawford discovered that the very principle he lad himself promulgated at Athens in 1928 was treasol4 and de- serving the hangman'srope. Here then was a arechange after he was thirty years ofagc;aild ne was consequently prompt- ed by se5fsh and ddishonestmotipes. These exempliiications of his auxioms will sui ice forthe present, and as a wide field for further illustration remains, may ill., cline him to a greater liberality in his future cogitations. We arc willing to view him now as an enemy of nulllf- cation; but for this salutary reforma. ton, ve, ia the significant phraseoloey of the Augusta Courier, say, ss1hank you, Mir. Calhoun" For d man to re- nounce his favorite doctrines, because he finds out that his enemy has espoused them, speaks volumes.
 To his abuse of NTr. Pumpkin and General Newman we shall say nothing.
 finclined, they are not only fully com potent to rebut his impntations, but al- so to place him in an attitude before the public far from being enviable.
 Nothing perhaps in his bulky trade, poftrays the rancor by which he.is aetu- ated more than his sweeping defamation of the Clark party. sslhat party (says he) in this State, Is mongrsl party, form ed of the 2eorst materials of the political parties which have heretofore prevailed Tn Georgian-and ssthis man General Clark) had succeeded in wonderful degree In COMBINING ALL THE Ieao- RANGE IN THE STATE N HIS sUPpoRnn- The statement IS so false in fact and H. liberal in sentiment, as to carry its own Ee4ufation on it's face, and to be repug- nant to the feelings of every man, with out the distinction of party, who consd- CTS honest industrious poverty and good morals entitled to voltionand confidence us we'll as the overgrown nabob who lam guishes in case, tho victim of overween- ing pride and premature decay.
 We could wish, for the old mans cred Il, that he had been more cireumspect in his observations and rational in his conclusions, especially as he is verging towards that bourne whence no travel Ter returns, period when forgiveness and charity are considered inseparable from goodness of heart and soundness of understanding.
 Ldian Sagaeiy.-It would be a pity not to preserve the following anecdote, which displays so much of that accura- cy of observation which Is known to be one of the characteristics oi our red brethren of the west. An Indian upon his return nome 10 his hut one day, dis covered that his venison which had been hung up to dry, had been stolen. Af- ter taking observations upon the spot, he,set of in pursuit of the thief, whom he tracked through the woods. After going some distance, he met some per sons of whom he inquired, if they had seen Htie old srhate man, with short gun, accompanied by d snaH dog, with a bod taf? They replied in the attirma- tive, and upon the Indian assuring them that the man thus described had stolen his venison, they desired to be informed how he was able to give such minute description of person he had not seen? The Indian replied thus-s'the thief l .gyTs It, |
