He remarks, that tired and annoyed with secular
determinations and distinctions he was glad oft

whig delusion, though a sober, honest man, but
now advocates the Union as formed and framed
by the old revolutioners and preservatve of equal
rights, among the States, and equitable Justice,
TO every section, and to all the people. The will
of the southern inhabitants mostly, is doubtless
good but often their information is small slight

public affairs-henee, by the omission to read, or
learn the public news, OF general and common in

an emergency, and often conclude, with haste and
error, and thus become njudicious and weak, and
passive, Iethargic and indocie; exercising neither
penetration or discernment, nor nationality or sa-
gaci;y. Mr.. V--nt reads a religious gazette,
and has not yet, taken the Southern Standard,
which, l assured him, was the ablest in that sec
ton of country, but he says that some neighbors
near to him do. He was present at the delivery
of my first address, in the recent canvass The
members chosen in the county, are a lawyer and
farmer, both whigs-and dupes, of course, of
the mis-called compromise-sore shin or plumber
acts. The members elect, from the delegation to
Congress, downwards, are wings, and, in my O.
pinon, mostly weak desiples, either in intellect

defeat the strong and consummate, among the peo-
pie. This l have told the party. Besides, as
they know, such men are more submissive, docile
and tractable, than others of high talent and stern
integrity. They are more easily duped, more patti
cnt under imposition, than independent and spirit
men, and therefore serve better than others, to
decoy the people, into false positions. The com
promising cheat fraud or swindle, besides the
concession of northern ascendency and domination,
and usurpaton and supremacy, was intended to
subyert the democracy by division, as a means to
secure these advantages and this illegal power,
for the wings could be retained mostly under the
influence and speculation of partizan ties and the
prospect of general promotion in rank and station,
while the democrats mostly would be divided, be
ing thrown into false position and into confusion,
by falacious, sophistical and coercye issue. a

divertive and farcical operation always vote with
democrats to seduce them from their propriety,
and to allure their votes in return for a mockery
This is one species of logrollage, embracing de-
fusion corruption and bribery, is another. In the
early part of canvass, they preach liberality and
federation, ferbearance and reciprocity, to obtain
countenance and indulgence in the practice Of de
ception and apostacy, and of infdelity and hypoc
racy, but at the close, by intimation, and in a still
hunt they rally their party under secular consider
ations, to intolerance and monopoly of partisan
powerand emolument. Thus they swell, collapse
or open and shut on occasions, like an oyster, anC
call this acute, tactical and smart. But it is too
smart to be honest, and is therefore not the bes

are entirely unfit for any purposes of legislation

the people. Instead of peace or order, prospect

vice and degeneracy. This is succeeded by a dis
ruption of society and by foreign or domesti
warfare.
The letter of Mr.. Howard of Ga, to judy
Nicholl of Savanna, is concisiye and practical pre-
found and able, and deserves to be copied freely
the southern press. Yours truly.
