ORATION
Delivered by Monsieur Guenebault,
before the Phi-Kappa Society,
on the 4th of July, 1832.
Gentlemen,—Amidst the joy and enthusiasm
whirl) inspire a great nation in the celebration
of bn independence, permit a stranger (who, if
'»> has not the privilege of being an American,
priiles himself in being a Frenchman,) to
♦a- h one humble flower to the immortal wreath
woven on thie day by the noble sons of Colum
bia. Permit him to plnre on the altar of your
■■nuntrjr • modest offering, little worthy, it is
true, of the glorious Jay which gnvo birth to a
« h*‘h* nation of freemen ; but if the sentiments
of es'oom and admiration which nnimatn his
breast towards the country of the immortal
VVash'ngton may "plead the insufficiency of
language, let him hope to find in your hearts
an echo congenial In his feelings.
1 cannot but experience gentlemen, n senti
ment of profound emotion in finding myself,
for the first lime in your midst, since you
have uncorded to me tho honorable distinction
of being counted a member of this learned and
Tn.pwtahje society •, n society whose names
recall to me the idea of citizens distinguished
f»r talents, and praiseworthy for virtue, and
which promises to your country a phalanx of
vnuih, who, to acquire distinction, have only
to follow the path traced out by those who
have proceeded them in the career of science
nnd patriotism.
However badly expressed, you comprehend
my feelings, and in default of eloquent ex
pressions, I shall speak the language of grati
tude, a language always easy to be under
stood,‘easy to speak, and nlwnys superior to
tlip harmony of rounded periods.
A people amiable n private life, affable,
generous and hnspilnblo, lived tranquilly in
the bosom of this vast country, nnd lent to the
pride and luxury of old Englnnd the assis
tance 'Of thsir toils, and tho productions of
their fertile land. It wi» from (horn that the
treasures of a virgin soil went to enrich the
insatiable avnnce of the mother countrv ; it
was by their aelive exertions that fertilizing
eomineree secured lo tho metropolis of Great
Britain a preeminence over those of other nn<
'ions.' It was in this state of things that op.
prexsive parliamentary acts, invading alike
public liberty and domostic happiness, enme lo
spread terror and alarm in tho hearts of Ante
rienns. One cry alone was heard,it wos.thnf
of generous indignation. Then were seen
prepnred for combat n band of humble yeo
innury, whoso knowledge extended only to
tlioso peaceable nnd usoful arts, which opened
to them sources of hnppiness and competency.
With a firm luind, the citizen soldier arose at
the cry <>l liberty, seized his arms nnd supply
ing by courage and patriotism, tho want of the,
tactics and stratagems which secure succoss,
ho achieved the prerogative of a froemnn.
Washington 1 to this name, which recalls
the idea of human perfection, of thn assem
blage of svery virtue, uf tiro mercy of Provi-
rfw.ico in his gifts lo man, every generous
heart tins already paid a just tribute nfnrfniirn
non, r-gret, respect and love. Washington
eiueied ihn arena end lent lo his oppressed
br'ithers the power of his genius, the firmness
of his courage, and the wisdom of his coun
scls. At the sound of his voice, passion was
stilled, emulation ceased, discussion was
calmed. Around him soon gathered those
batallmns whose names are inscribed on tho
thiD-st page of history ; at his school and after
fata model were formed thnse moil, whom the
same nrdnr to do well and gloriously, united
s» brothers.
At first his country's defender nnd saviour;
he became afterwards its model, its stay, nnd
mu grdat to bo dazzled by bis glory, too gener
ous to'us'irp a power of which ho Imd boon the
founder, ho refused to bo elevated except Ity
the'suffrages of bis fellow citizens. Power,
tul i'u genius, but moderate in political senii-
vnl. who will never forgive her, for the assis
tance she rendered to your emancipation ;
France, I repeal, fell into anarchy.- Tho
bloody epoch of the French revolution having
enme to strike terror throughout the world,
her devoted patriots were decapitated on the
scaffold. But like Animus she arose from her

We regret not hiving room lu puhliah the
correspondence between the Committee nnd Momier
Guenebault on the luhject of hia oration—the oration
wo lay before our readers with much pleasure. Ex

of America, the homo of his adoption, it cannot but

It was then that dtpAmoiican people, who
had only drawn Hip -swtpd to assert those
rights which had linen'despised and trodden
under foot, entered immediately after conquest
into social compact, united the states which
hud fought for independence, rcgulotod the
affairs of Iheir government, occupied 1 them
selves, with prudoneo and wisdom, In laying
the foundation of Iheir future happinosa, in se
curing the tranquil popcssion of a laud whore
they cuuld breathe the air of liberty, and in
passing those laws- which were safeguards to
the rich, protectors of tho poor, beneficinl to
all. Long since, they had signed thnir de
claration of uidependenen, that archtype of
wisdom and reason, which will guaranty to
you gentlemen, your superiority over tho mis
erable rubbish of monarchical thrones, and
oyer those confused nnd fantastical vestiges of
the feudal system, which were born in tho in-
farfey of reason.
You lived thenceforward in peaco, occupied
in elevating your young power to the standard
of ancient grandeur. You grew in wisdom
and glory, you cultivated that treo of liborty,
which germinated in your own soil, whoso

agitated the hearts of the Krunch. Liberly,
like Hercules in the cradle, had strangled the

Mr. Van Euren ami the Feleral Union.—“Thesaino
reasons which induce us lo support General Jackson
constrain ua lo oppose Mr. Van Buren. tVc believe
that we cannot support Mr. Yon Buren, the main pil
lar of the Tariff, without aacriflsing our principles, and
abandoning the inretetts of the South.” So say
Mesirs Folhill and Cuthbert thocdiluis of tho "Federal
that bis overseer,named May, an inoffensive men, had
been in the hpbit of interfereing on such occasions.—
On the day of hisdeath,Mayen returning to the bouse
perhaps for hit dinner, found his employer intoxicated,
and abusing hia family—he interfered as usual, spoke
to Puryeer. begged him to desitet, and told him that it
was aahame for him to ad so—Porycar asked him " if
he took it up?”—stepped into ihe house—took
down hie rifle, and deliberately shot him dead.
May has left a wife end 7 or 8 small children without
a single bequest, save that of (he cold charity of the
world. Puryear was, on the evidence of his own daugh
ter, committed to prison, where be now awailes Ihe
atom justice of the law.
The Tariff.—Mr. Adams’ Bill,founded on the recom
mendation ot'lhej .Secretory of the Treasury for reducing
the Tarilfhas finally passed ihe House o! Representa
tives. with ariteu'lm into, by a large majority. The
Bill lias beef) iniluiineed into the Senate, where its fate
is very proliltinaltSal. It is generally thought that it
will he sent back in a more objectionable ahape, to tho
House—in which event it is more lhao probable it will
be rejected—Congress wiil adjourn in confusion, nnd
tfie country will he shar-donrd toanortiy! Gb-
jectionablo as is this offering to the aou'h, we cannot
hut hope it will pass. It may slay, at least for a time,
a rupture between the south nnd the cast, and pave the
way for future successful legislation on the subject.—
The Charleston Courier enquires “ if South Carolina
and Georgia will refuse the offered compromise—reject
the olive branch?” We cannot speak for Carolina, but
as lo Georgia she will receive it—but only ns a pledge
of returning justice in the General Government. It can
never flourish however in onr soil whilst nurtured by
sweat wrung from our people by their task masters of
the Eiet.
Let her right! bn fully restored—the Tariff reduced
down to the actual wants and necessities of Ihe gov
ernment—the manufocloring interests left with other
brandies of industry to flourish or to fall on ita own
merits; and then, and not till then, will the "olive
branch”floutiah and overshadow- our land with Ihe bles
sings of peace, happiness ond prosperity.

The Jtsialie Cholera.—The Augusta Constitutionalist
of the 1011> lost, states, on the authority of the Journal
of Commerce, that this terrible disease made ita ap
pearance in the City of New York about the first of this
month. Weareonrry to add that this account is con
firmed hy private tellers received in this place from
New York—several vety malignant cases had occurred
— Sout of9 of those attacked having died. It ai-eins
from tiie Isle intelligence from Canada that it i* greatly
on the decline at Quebec ami Montreal.
.... Surveyor.”
Union.” Now the troth D, General Jackaon i., and woul J inform (ho " Surveyor,” as to the cor-
rori the southeiin banner.
Messrs. Editors,—I regret that uny circum
stance would require of me any further notii-e
of a “ Surveyor ;” but to correct dome state-
inetilf) in Ins second number and show the in
consistencies of his first and second publica
tions, 1 am conwlrain.-d to ask the indulgence
of you to give tins reply a place in your puper;
uud 1 will say, this shall be.the lust with which
1 will trouble you or the public, in relation to
the controversy with the “ Surveyor.” But I
lo any person whatever here, and acbnowl
edges the debt to bo just, it is then assumed
by the Government, provided, the value of his
improvements would be adequate to pay the
debt or debts to be assumed, and he actually
removed and become a settler in Arkansas.
No change of residence on this side of the
Mississippi will entitle those who enroll or his
creditor to one cent, nor has any been paid
one cent unless, they removed and were set
tlers in Arkansas; and if Ihe "Surveyor”
doubts this statement, he can satisfy himself
by making tho enquiry of Col. Hugh Mont
gomery, Indian Agent, who has the disburse
ment of all the Government funds paid the
Cherokee Indians East of the Mississippi,
and whose character for truth mid integrity
stands above suspicion. But it is useless for
“ A Surveyor" to make any insinuations or
declarations that the Government pays for
Indian improvements, and they as before suf
fered to remain on them, for such is not the
case, and if such statements as his are not cal
culated lo mislead the public mind, Ihe “ Sur
veyor” need not “ abhor himself” as lo “ A
Surveyor” surveying and occupying Indian
lund without any purchase whatever.” I would
say while Ihe Government Agents were hold
ing out to the Indians inducements to emi
grate, by paying them full value for all their
improvements, the “ Surveyor” was menacing
tho Indians, by surveying the Indian country
preparatory to its occupancy. I do not con
demn the law of the state, authorising d stir
vey of the Indian country, for i^ is certainly
the interest of Georgia and (he Indians also,
that they should speedily remove ; but when
“ A Surveyor” is making such n parade about
his love for the poor Indians, and so ready to
charge “ sin” to others, lie should examine
that his own “ door” is void of “ sin.” As to
his (tightened remarks about the “ march of
mind and sound logic,” ho is scanning far
above his compass and chain ; hut I presume
he lives near Athens, and occasionally meets
with an opportunity to rub himself against Ihe
College, but he had better lay down his pen
and take up hts Jacob 'staff, and follow his
compass, hy so doing, the public good would
be more udvnnced, than by his meddling with
men and things that need not concern him,
and of which, he knows but little.
JUSTICE.
has always been, an ailvorato of tho Tariff, tin lias
never denied the right of Congress tu impose duties on
imparls for Ilia purpose of protection; yet these go,
lli'mcn say “ Ihe sainu reasons which induce us to sup
port Jackson constrain iisln oppose Van Biiron"— I hat
is to say, we support Jackson hecauso ha U in favour
of tho Tariff and oppose Mr. Van Duron on ihe very
same grounds I Now if this la not logic with a veil-
gance wo are no judges. Those gentlemen most look
in some nlhcr direction for n true Explanation of tlu-ir
anpptthiea towards Mr. Van Buren. 'i heir objections
tn him on the more of (lie Tariff will iicv-r hold good
until they abandon Jackson on tho same grounds.—
We deny, huwevor, that Mr. Van Bmen is, nr ever has
been " tho main pillar of tho Tariff.” It is Hue lie vo
ted fur Ihe Tariff of 1888 but it will be recollected at the
same time that he acknowlodgod hia vote in thcvcnala
on that question was in compliance with the instruction*
of Ihe Legislature of tho State ha represented,' ami we
have not the lout doubt that it did violence ,tn his
private footings and views. And will thoso aditora who
denounce him for his votoonihal occasion deny the
correctness bf the piltilplc which actuated him ? w ill
they deny the right of iualuclinn to tho people ? or do
tliey hold with the doctrine that ihe aoryunl is greater
than ihe matter I
'Mr. Vin Buren although a moderate supporter orihe
Tariff krill go nil lengths »v|lH Jackson for a liberal and
judu.km».i|ibdificaUiin of it—be baa given n pledge to
this effect which he will not full to redeem,.and at an
assurance of bis course hereafter on this inieresting
subject, we 'ppint lu t|iu ,Ule inniiifeitaliubs of hia
great and powerful patty ih New York. They have
risen up in Iho majesty of their strength and roil crated
the following sentiment of .iheir patriotic and talented
leader.. "Mutual forbearance amt rciproeal concession 1
Through Iheir agency Ihe Union teat established, mid Ihe
patriotic spirit from which they eminated will forever sup
port it.” And yet this is the man who is proclaimed
‘Mr mam pillar of the Tu; iff”—placed not on a looting
with Clay,Niles and Cary aa a main pillar,but declared
the principle, the main support of the American syrlcin I!
Now wo deprecate both General Jackson,and Air. I an
Buren'* tuppon of tho Tarifl heretofore, whether volun
tary or not, as much as do Messrs Folhill and Cuth-
boil; yet are we prepared lo support them both from
considerations independent of, and above their view*
on this or any other particular subject. IVo support
General Jackson independently of hia Tmiff p inciplca,
because wekuow him tobedevotod to thaUNION,and
because we believe he is the only men wo have at thie
time (excepting perhaps George M. Troup) possetsing
sufficient morel courage end firmness of purpose, to
conduct us safely through llio difficulties end dangers
that surround ua on all side*—between tbs ultras of
lbs North sod the South lie stands, the rock of our
politicial salvation-he is pledged to the constitution,
and ho will preserve it inviolate I
Mr Van Buren we support.indcpendently of his Tariff
principles, because lie iiaa always been with the South
iir feeling*—because he is a sound republican and de
voted to the UNION—because he is the choice of the
Great Republican Jackson party,end is actually necessa
ry lo the success of Jacksom election.
Murder.—IVe have to record a transaction unusual
in our section of country—the perpetration of a most
cruel and wanton murder I John Puryear a planter,
living about a mile from this plica, ahot bit overseer
on Wednesday last, ft aaema that Puryear when in
biacupiwaain the habit of abusing hia family, and.
respondenco and opinions of Mr. Thornton
1- have nothing to miy, further than its allu
sions were mostly direr ted to Major Curry
the principal siiperinteiidant of Cherokee emi
griilion, who wuu absent in Arkansas when
Mr. Thornton's slateniema wore published,
but ii is recently relumed, and if lie thinks pro
per cun reply to Mr. Thoiuion himself. The
’• Surveyor’s” first number states that “ borne
individuals claiming the right lo emigrate have
been engaged in purchasing Indian improve
ments, and having tln-m valued aa iheir own
property, the Indians a- before suffered to re
main on Georgia bind.’’ His second number
slates thn “ buyers permitted as before to re
mum on Georgia limit;” setters and buyers as
the gentleman would wish thn public to be-
llcvo, all •• remum on Georgia load,” and
those who enroll for Arkansas were all specu
lators too ; but it is sirunge where tho thou
sand emigrants were from who removed to
Arkansas tins last Spring, as none were al
lowed to enroll .only those in Georgia,? This
is the gentlemen's consistency., lie fuel her
states, " there inay not have been mnroilian
one instance of mfo'hundiso having bebti bard
lo Indians for their improvements, nor do l
pretend lo charge, the..yetitiqr of this yartiefa
with any intsntiun’tu- cnmmit any fraud on the
Gditrntnenti”' But ■•‘the crying sin," laying
at the door of mime one, is goadjpg 'the con
science of .the, tender-hearted " Surveyor,
becitusn ono ludinn i- ullowed to traffick With
another Indian, and, perhupa some advantage
might accrue to one ur the other. But his
“ Indian philanthropy” which ho wishes lo
charge to others is misapplied, and had he
nut signed his name " A Surveyor,” I should
have supposed him a Missionary or some
NorthernJanatic. The "Surveyor” further
remarks : •* cannot tho influential and worthy
class of lndian»*-ciinnoi one wealthy Indian
purchaso the improvements of twenty com
mon Indians ?” This I admit, and can influ
ence one hundred or more to emigrate with
them to Ihe West; and if the Government con
remove the «otallhy and influential, there will
bn no difficulty in removing the poor and com
mon Indiana. All who know any thing of the
Cherokee affairs, do km w if Boss, Ridge,
Martin, Tnylor, ond eight or ton others were
to enroll, that their influence would remove
the whole Cherokee tribe from the East to
tho West of the Mississippi. The “ Survey
or” further atntea, "now you will ohterve
'* Justice" apenks of an article in the Treaty
of 182b, which provider-to pay Cherokee
emigrants (mark this word) full value for all
improvements they might abandon; now I
would nik is the Government bound lo pay
ony Indian for his improvement unless he emi
grates, or unless he abandons the country I”
Although “ A Surveyor” puts this ss an in-
terrogstory, no inference can hff drawn from
•I, other than a positive declaration that the
Government pays Indiana for improvements,
and they are still suffered aa before to remain
on them; but this is not the foct, none who
enroll for Arkansas, are paid until they reach
ran the southern banner.
FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
DV THE
GEORGIA GUARDS.
The company assembled on its parade
ground at the appointed hour ; Ihe American
flag which lay upon the breeze high oer the
place, instead of forcing the mind to tho con
templation of n timo, when its stripes and its
stars shone with a prouder nnd more enduring
lustre, seemed to givo forth the familiar ad
monition, that at least on one day in the year's
great circle, freemen should strive to forget
Ihe wrongs and tho woos inflicted hy a coun
try’s hand, and with one heart and one voire
unite in eolebrn'ing the revered achievements
of genius, valour nnd patriotism. After ma-
neuvoring for some lime, the company in con
cert with the Franklin Blues, and attended by
Col. Franklin, Major Billups, Adjutant G.
W. Sliavv, and Professor James Shannon,
marched to tho Baptist Church at half past

had already assembled. Tho Throne of Grace
was addressed in a feeling and impressive
strain by tho Rev. Jumes Shannon, tho t)e-
elaratinn of Independence was read by B. T.
Pope- Esq. and an oration which did honor to
the talents and patriotism of the speaker,
was delivered by Juniua Hillver, Esq. At
tbs close of these exercises, the company re

nounced, and for ihe most part, received with
loud acclamation. The festivity being over,
Ihe compbny marched lo Ihe Southern border
of to wn, to shoot for n finished musket, and it
waa pleasing to behold its members enter the
contest with so much of spirit and emulation.
After threo rounds of firing, evincing much
skill, and for same time an almost doubtful
victory, the prize was declared lo Iirvo been
won by Sergeant John Cheatham, and in to
ken of tho result, tt silver medal with a suita

was now advancing, and tho company march

1. Agriculture and Commerce—Under a
system of good government, the great source
of individual and national wealth, but how is
the mumfic nee of heaven likely to be blasted
by the selfishness of man I

4. A Southern Convention—Let those who
advocate it, recollect the story of the truant

on; the boy would not have reformed, nor tho
apples been saved.
6. TAe Vniou—If it is to be saved, the
manufacturing interest must determine, what
portion ol my unlawful gales will I surrender
to preserve it, and the South must determino
a far more difficult question, what portion of
my unalienable rights will I relinquish to ef
fect the same purposo.
6. Andrew Jackson—With what moral gran-
deur does he ■ ithsiand tho desperate attacks
of official insolence and hirad calumny, gliding
as ever on in the even tenor of his illustrious
career, and causing his last days to vin lor
glory with tho brightest of hia younger years.
7. The New York- Uv'—' Meeting—Its pur.
