To the Commander of the Army of

ble attention, was naturally due, but it
was paid with hearty enthaSafm, when
they beheld iu him, the early fupporterof
our revolution, the fuccefstul negociator
with our Indian brethren, and the iteady
friend of JefFerfon. What his been ob
served on a similar occasion, might truly
be affirmed, that “ facial happmefs came
to offer her thanks to valour and to pa
tri'jtifm.” Previous to dinner, the Vo
lunteer Companies of Infantry and Ran
gers tamed out and received the General 1
tinder presented arms, and fired a fahue of
fixtee'n rounds. The honorable John
Willfon, In Cendant, supported by colonel
Samuel Hammond, preluded. And in the

lefterday the Anniversary of the In
dependence of the United States, was ce
lebrated at this place. The Students be
longing the University, eroded a hand-
Tome and spacious Arbour, which cover
md teats for the accommodation I
ot the audience. Several hundreds of the
gentlemen and ladies, living in the vicini
ty, or who had come to this salubrious
spot to spend foine of the fulrry weeks of
summer, were collcdcd, Mr. Jones read
the Declaration of Independence. The
\ Students then exhibited upwards of twenty
fpecimcns ot oratory, feleded from vari
ous writers., and chiefly relative to the
American revolution, and its interesting
conl'cqucnccs. The entertainment was
varied with fcveral dialogues; and Tome
pieces in the Latin, Greek, and French
languages, were pronounced.
The audience was very attentive, and
retired highly pleated with the entertain
ment. Their fatisfadion was douhtlcfs
heightened by the reflexion, that, on this
spot, (the Cedar Jhoals) the lavages of
the wilderness, hut a few years ago, used
to prepare themselves to spread terror, de
solation and death, among the fettlefncnts
callward of the Occnce, which was then
the frontier.
On the 3d July, (in commemoration of
the 4th) Captains Abercrombie and De
vereux paraded the Hancock Troop ®f
Horse, and the Company cf Artillery in
Sparta, and after going through evoluti
ons and marching, the Troop of Hcrfe
repaired to Captain Hall’s, and the Artil
lery to an Arbour at the Town Spring,
where Dinners weie prepared, after par
taking of which, a detachment from each
corps joined in the public square, and fir
ed fixtccn rounds from signals given in
fucccflion by the Companies, accompanied
with the following Toasts, and lucccded
with martial music :
1. The memorable 4th cf July, 1776,
which announced to the world the freedom
of America.
2. The United States of America— 1
May the genius of Columbia, guarded
by the cornpafs of science, traverse the
Ocean of political freedom.
3. The Prefidcnt of the United States,
the Philosopher, Statcfman and Patriot—
May he ever be supported, vvhilft the sup
porter of liberty.
4. The Vice-President of the United
States—May he meet the expectations of
his republican friends.
5. The memory of George Washington;
firlf in war, in peace, and on the bur
nished pages of immortal fame —May he
ever live in the hearts of his countrymen,
and may it never be considered that the
appellation of the “ Great and the Vir
tuous,” is a calumny on the charader
who has deserved if.
6. The federal conduction—wifdotn’s
firtt born; the legitimate offspring of free
dom ; without conftrudion or implication.
7. The present adminiflration—May
their ads never require a {edition law to
veil them from a free examination.
8. Jackson, Baldwin and Millcdge ;
j whose vvifdbm, perfeverancc and integri-
J ty have obtained an honorable adjuifment
of ccnflitutional limits. ,e||
9. Madilon, Gallatin, and Lincoln;
whose love of justice rose superior to local
prejudices, and secured to Georgia her
territorial rights.
10. The lint Monday in Odober next
—May the day which gives to Georgia a
double reprefenration in the house of rc
prefenta tives of the federal legillature, add
to the cause of republicanism.
11. The Stare of Georgia—May her
increase of population only be equalled by
anincrcafeof virtue, wisdom and liberty.
12. The Governor of Georgia—May
he continue to poflcfs the confidence of |
the people, whiid he continues 10 execute
the laws in just ice.
13. The memory of Dodor Franklin
—May the Americans by his example ex
tract the lightning’s slash of philosophy from
the burfling cloud of science.
14. The armies of the United Stares
I —May they never be employed againit li
-1 berry and good government.
15. The navy —May its thunder ter
rify, and its lightning electrify the inva
ders of the rights of neutrality.
16. May peace and hospitality ever be
charaderiftic ot true Americans.
j7. The fair daughters of Columbia.
1 Mr. Smith,
By publishing the following ftatcment
you will much oblige, your obedient, hum
ble servant,
HUGH M. HULL.
The controversies of individuals, though
often lubjeds of public curiofuy, are leJ
dom deserving of public concern. I of
fer no apology for the present ftatcment,
if it is not important it will not be tedi
ous. '
In company with several others, I sign
ed a 11 proteli” against the Continents ox
preded in some of the Toasts drank by the
company of Artillery in this place, of
which 1 have the honor to be a member,
on the 3d iml. I signed ii, because 1
was unwilling to join in the puue of thnfh
who were the avowed enemies of the ad
minillration of the general government ;
and because I was unwilling to join in
the Hander, however indirect, of a nun,
whom 1 am proud to call my friend ; whom
I know to be amiable in private, and be
lieve to be pure in public life. In the
Herald, immediately following, an ano
nymous publication appeared, ridiculing
the protclt I had signed, and couched in
language which 1 considered pcrfonally
olFcnfivc. A variety of circumstances,
which need not be enumerated, led me to
fufpeft one of those who was employed to
prepare the toads, as the author of the
burlcfque publication ; willing to give gq _
opportunity of removing the fufpieion, 1
pubiilhtd a general Card, which contain
ed a requell, that the author or authors
fiiould avow thcinfelves. This being re
fund, I followed the diflates of my Frit
fufpieion, and lint the following note, by
my friend captain Cormick, to Mr. Do
nald MTver:
Sir—Being strongly imprefled with a
belief that you are the author of a hnr
lefque publication on a protest, to which
my name and others were signed, or af
fixed in the production, which I conceive
was intended to convey a personal insult
to me, 1 call on you to deny or acknow
ledge it. In the latter case, my frlcncT"
captain Cormick, will make such arranges-'*
merits with you, as will be fatisfadtory
to my feelings. I am, &c.
HUGH M. HULL.
To this Mr. M‘lver sent the follow
ing answer;
In answer to your note, I do not con
ceive myfclf bound to give you any ex
planation, whatever—much Ids to make
any fort of arrangements.
DONALD MTVER.
■ J u b 21, 1802.
Doctor ‘ Hull.
Considering the intimacy which fiibfift
ed between Mr. MTver and rnyfelf, this
evasive answer confirmed the fufpieion I
had entertained. 1 his fufpieion I nonjv^ m '
entertain strengthened by subsequent cor
refpondencc. 1 leave it to the world to
form their opinion of one, who, profefling
friendfhip, could anonymously traduce :
and when called on to answer, could
meanly prevaricate.
Should Mr. MTver* feel himlclf in
jured by any tiling here publiflied, he
will find me ready to render that fatislac
tion to his feelings, which he has denied
to mine; and in consequence of which
denial, I thus publicly declare him to
have added inconfiftentlv with the honor
of a gentleman, and spirit of a man.
