The total number Os deaths w Savan nah, during the inoath of October, is es timated -233. On the Al and-Sd Inst, chwive, - ; twelre "dcatlis were ri ' y ported.. It will be necn by an article fronj the . Savannah, Georgian, that the Health have announced that the “city except catarrhs, appeals toWre recovered its health We hope that, this may be no delusive' impression, and" that poor, devoted Savannah will be ' ,oo i rpittort-d to a fulness of health and - / jrobperily. ;v ■ / ,t ’We have been highly censored, 0«y, >even menaced and'tlttcat'cned, for saying, tha’ Mr. Crnwfoid, the Secretary of the United SutcaV Treasury owed tt fit a duty to himself, and; to the govern ment, to explain away the heavy charges which have been brought against him by John Clarke, Esq the present Governor ot the stale of Georgia. Blit we are too well acquainted with pur duty as public Journalists, to be driven from it by epj£ r 1y threa.s and omneaning bravadoes i they ( pats us by aa the “ idie wind which *t regard not}” and go far, very ftp, in. con- ( riucing us that If meat be abadpause in deed, wWch has ho bather dcfence-to sup port it. . To <lf public otß* pen, is the proud privilege of every free institution. Whenever this ngftt is in, vaded with ihipunity, the. liberty of -the ’people is infringed upon by an undue and ' arbitrary influence. Every word and ac bon, and were it possible, qvery thought Os * public Jgent-, should be amenable' to the controul of his constituents. He i* the creature of their suffrage, p»nd it is for them; and their only,*, he should act If he is c/argedwith moral unfi iness or political turpitude, (Pot covertly but open ly and avowedly in person, by hiv accja •cr) neither the prejudief s <tf party, nor the intriguesrefaction, should, for a mo ment, divert an investigation into his con duct: every attempt -to do so would but . excite suspicion, and give accumulated ■weight k, importance to the accosation-r •for the tru£ patriot, like Cwwv'a wife, will •ever be above suspicion If envy or haired Wouild blacken hiy fame, and ■ arraign hm before the tribunal of public opinion, lie should be ready, nay, solicitous to stand up in his own vindication, and roll back uponbia enemies the tide of destruction t with ■which they threaten to overwhelm film We readjly admit,. lR«t there ari? -but few men to conscious of their purity & fii miwss of soul as to submit all their ac tions, so far as regards their civil, political, or-religious relations with society, to the aorutmy’of public obser'ation. As we are not, however, advocating human inf edi bility, this is nttt contended for. But, we do most strenuously-contend, that when a ministerial officer, connected with the administration of a government, is, by ./ strong implications, publicly charged by a ‘tangible and responsible accuser, -wijlh high misdemeanors—rive tay, ive Under such circumstances, that the peo ple-be strangely infatuated, to pass dyer auch charges sub-stlentio, or t» lake st t ref ita‘ion of them, any anonymous declaration whatever. We have already pronounced, that in the above predicament* stands fViu. I! Cranford Hog Secretary of the Treasury of the United Slates /--Ba', { it is said, in true ministerial can*, that lie, (the Sec, rotary) will not eond< tcend to notice charges so palp >bly absurd and malicious This miserable might do for the meridian of St- James, but it will not answer for the ptirer atmosphere of the It* iblic of America -The Secretary must • not only condescend to notice, but to jus City—yes, justtfg himself the govern merft and to the people; or else he must, perforce, condescend t« bear the' . 'obloquy o f a whole commnrfily. Wc are not disaffected towards M r Secretary Crawford; OS the contrary’, our prejudices, if we have any, are in his fa vor, iand we should be glad, indeed, to *ee him come forth from the ordeal douMv purified—but, we mus* candidly avow,’ that Gensrnor Clark's PamphlethMnhek en the good opinion we have heretofore entertained of the honorable Secretary; »nd that we «onscicntious)y believe U t o he a duty, which he owes to the government, and to the people, as h< values Ha reputation, to remove, if be can, the heavy and serious iiqiputAtior't ‘which have bees heaped upon: him- He j must either do thivor as ns vary remote I .% e w’-’ '■ '-v '>i ■.

The question was about to be dec Mad, when a Mr. Simpson, one of the general reput ed authors of.Brutps stated that some of the parfreans of James Mon roe were present, and they were not invited, Mr. Simpson appeared so irtuch ugitatpd that he could scarcely be understood James C. Biddle, Esq, then rose, and eloquently ad dressed the meeting in favor of Jas. Monroe, whom he styled “ the long tried patriot, the able statesman, the failhfu public servant,and the virtu ous Chief Magistrate who rules the destinies of this country.” Isle was answered by Col. liuane, who styled Mr. Monroe “ a perjured traitor, the tool of George IY. and said, that his Foreign Minister, our townsman,* was, m d-r the direc tion of Mr, Monroe, the Slave and Sycophant of Lord Castlereagh; that toe President bad marched an army against a virtuous, unprotected, and unoffending foreign nation, who were the adorers of thircountry, and who,like us 40 years ago, were now smuggling for their liberty.” Mr. Duane said, what he stated was not matter of opinion, but what he was ready to prove by official documents.
