is the candidate Of that party in all the
States, who under the lead Of Gen. Jack

of universal Internal Improrement-who
wrested the public money from the hands
of IRRESPONSIBLE and doubtful corporations,
and broke their power-who seek to re-

Governmcnt-and who believe that these
wants admit of diIninuiuns Of the public

by combinations or intrisues.
! General Harrison is the candidate of all
the parties in the United States who can
be brought TO act against the present Ad-
minisIralion by The common instinct ha-
tired. He was forced upon the Southern
portion of these parties by the combina
ton of Anti-masonry and Aboliiionism.
Not one Southern vote was given to him
lin the Harrisburg convention. Among
his supporters are ranked the nigh Tariff
and Internal Improvement men, under
the banners of Mr.. Clay; the high-toned
politician Of tie New England States -
who construe the Constitution like the
common law, which, contracted as it may
be seen, expands indefinitely according to
the supposed exigency Of the times-who
believe there is no safety or prosperity
without the agency Of National Bank to
manage the fiscal concerns of the Govern
ment, and furnish currency for the peo-
plc-wEo opposed the late war,rand esta.
blshed, according TO opinions expressed
in the British Parliament, sort Of under
stood neutrality with the enemy during its
continuancc-whoa acknowledged as their
leader and standard bearer, Mr.. Webster,
of Boston: the Abolitionists, Of all colors,
under Sade of Vermont, Seward and
Bradish, Governor and Lieutenant G:-
vernon Of New York, under whose au-
spices deliberate attempt has been made,
by Stale Legislation, to cvade that provi-
sion of tic Federal Constitution which
was adopted for the protection of South
ern rights: the Conservatives, under the
guidance CT Mr.. Rives, who has aban-
doned their former friends because the
KEYS Of the vaults where the public trca-
sure is deposited are kept in the pockets
of officers Of Government, and not by
cashiers Of Slate banks; and who predict
ruin aud Gesolation to the country because
that treasure can no longer, under the
control Of all sorts Of State bank directors,
be made the basis Of loans TO estimate
every species of corporation folly or pri-
yate speculation: a ffagmen, Ct the Nulll-
fiers, under Mr.. Preston and Gen. Waddy
Thompson, who have been whirled, like
atoms Of dust, from the chariot wheels
of South Carolina, as they rolled into
their ancient tracks in the ranks Of Demo-
cracy.
The supporters Of the General in Gcor-
gia, l need not designate. They arc
known-whal they have been, what they
are, and what they wish 10 be. Some OF
them have had, and have lost, popular
some yet enjoy il; and they
unite in their cndcavors-lhe one to re-
cover, the other TO retain, popular favor.
To effect their common object, they are
closely allied 10 politicians whose princi-
pies they have solemnly rejected; whose
conduct they have repeatedly denounced;
whose objects they have always professed
To abhor. If there is any truth in the
maxim of noscitur a .Soeiis, it will not be
very difficult to decide, from this array Of
his friends, what reliance can be placed
on Gen. Harris IN by Georgians.
The only Chief Magistrate 10 whom the
Southern States can safely trust themselves
is one who will use the influence Of his
place wisely to leah congressional legisla-
lion on the subjects that must arise for
discussion within the coming Presidential
tcrm-.hc appointments of representa-
ton, the system of revenue, the admission
of new States into the Union; and one who
will use his power fearlessly and fully TO
control all attempt at Legislation on that
subject which is conclusively Southern.
On this there can be no parley, for il ad-
mils of no compromise. Those who aai-
tate it, do evil, whatever be their pre-
tenccs or their motives. Those who asso-
ciate, combine, and act with those agita-
tors, must look to have the finger Of sus
picion pointed at them. No Southern
man, who will read dispassionately the
address TO the people Of the slavc-holding
States, and the accompanying evidence,
