1t is time to strip "the States Rights and Harrison
Party of Georgia, they call themselves, of the
mask which they have assumed. 1t is of the
grossest pieces of humbugsery and imposture, which
has ever been practsed upon the people. They CLAIM,
the name of States Rights Party, when they are Fe
deras;s in the principles measures and men, which
they are supporting. II ia impossible TO read the pro-
ceedings in their countess preparatory to their June
Convention without astonishment and Indignation -
Take, for example, the proceedings in the county OF
Richmond. They proclaim "ienry Clay as (them)
candidate for the Presidency, tribute to his WORTH
and raying point TO ourselves " 1t was in vain that
james Gardner, Esq, begged them to pause, and ex-
pressed his "unwihngness as yet TO commit himself
in favor Of MIR. Clay, in consequence of the opinions
of SIR Clay in relation to the Tariff" But Mr.. II. II.
Wilde supported and euogised Mr. Clay-and the re-
solution declaring "as the of this meeting, that
Henry Clay is the Peoples candidate for President of
the United States was carried BY acclamaton.-
What INGENIOUS man will not confess that Mr..
Clay has scarcely atom of the State Rights doctrines
in his creed: He is for National Bank, Protective
Tariff and for Distribution, &c, &c. He IS Federast,
of the Alexander Hamilton stamp, 10 all n,ents and
purposes-and it is the vest humbuggery for party,
who supports him, to style themselves Estates
Rights party.

THE REPEAL OF THE oDIoUs BANKRUPT LAW.


Through your paper, Mr. Editor propose to address

This odous law was imposed on The people of The U
S. BY the last Wing Congress. 1t has met The disap

yillainous measures enacted by that Congress-
The people throughout the U. S. have stamped their
veto upon It, and why does he Senate of the u s. suffer
it to remain moment on the Statute Book Suspend
your rules, and it necessary, take the repeal b! up
again.
The House Of Representatives passed repeal bill by
majority of 80 odd. This partly the voice of the

you get mo- jorty for repeal. Then act, end ect

The people Of The U. S. have spoken in voice OF

call On you, empa'cay, to clear yourself OF the Sin OF
keeping this odlous law the Statute Books.
The Constitution Of the U. S. expressly provides,
