termination to support Mr. Van Buren,. He saws
to his constituents: Remember if YOU take
Harrison, you must take his principles along
with him." Now, Mr.. Black says in the above,
that cyan Buren, is ultimate abolitionist,p Sxe
We will only repeat Mr. Blacks words to hirn-
self, sIf YOU take Van Buren,, you must take his
principles along with him. Mr.. Black-and
according to your own showing, one of his prin-
ciples among others, is, that being Can ultimate
nbolitonists in principle, and an advocate of free
negro suffrage"-a species of principle for which
the people of Georgia have no particular fond
ness.
From the Journal.
Again, on the Oath August, 1885, in reply to
the committees of Franklin and Taliafero coun-
ties, the following is his language. We give it
Just as he wrote it with the italics and quota
tions as made by him. Read it carefully, people
of Georgia, and if you do not entirely agree
with us, that MIR Black has abandoned the posi-
lion upon which he elected then we will
acknowledge that we do not understand the Eng
lish language. But hear what he says:
| 81 am asked then, Ito make known my choice
for the next Presidency, between Van Buren,,
Clay, Webster, and Harrison Being States
Rights man, and accustomed from the earliest
period of my political career, to look to the prin
ciples of Thomas jefferson, as the only true
creed in politics, of coSrse can have no choice
between the individuals above proposed. Mr.
Van Buren, is recorded advocate for free negro
SuHTaHcs dulnltS INC Oh congress To ABOLISH
slavery in the District of Columbia, and leaves
us no safeguards for our domestic institutions,
but his promised UetO; he voted against the Ia
riff, and made speech in favor of it; he was an
advocate for the Proclamation and Force Bill
he approved the removal of the deposites of pub
lie money, in violation of existing laws; he adj
vised and approved the Pet Bank system, to
which the State Rights party were unanimously
oppesed and last not least, he tpaltred with us
in double sense in relation to the removal of
our Indian population. Can it be seriously sup
posed, after this statement OF facts, that Mr..
Van Buren, is my 'ch0ice" for President! III
there are any among us who can choice him, with
full knowledge of his political character, all
have to say is, they much more easily salts
fed than am. 1t is true he is at this time, ia
vorable to the establishment of an Independent
Treasury; but he has been forced into that posi-
ton by the successful opposition of the State
Rights party of the South, and the Wings OF the
North, to his otcn Pet Bank system, to which he
chung as long as there was raw of hope, to ami
mate hix. Shall his temporary advocacy of
single abstract proposition, involving question,
much of expedicncy as principle, outweigh
the long list of political heresies with which he
stands so Justly chargeable' He has had one
fair trial before the people of Georgia-his
friends were then, as they now are, moving hea-
ven and earth to ensure his acceptance by the
voters of this State, but after all that was said
in support of his prctensions to their favor, they
rejected his claims by triumphant majority
Upon that occasion contributed nothing to his
support, for the reasons above stated; and aware
of no reformation in his principles or policy
since that time shall be free to leave him to
the support of those who affect to admire the
elevation of his political character, and his de-
votion to the rights and interests OF Georgia"
