who have condemned it In the concluding
paragraphs, of that article, you very magnani
mously tender to the individuals of this com
munity, who are in the unfortunate predica
ment of differing from you in opinion on this
subject the use of your columns for'its dis
cussion. The invitation is given with such a
pretty air of defiance, as to render the tempta
tion to take up your gage quite irresistible. —
As I am among the number of those, who have
unhesitatingly condemned the proceedings of
every individual who has attempted to run up
the town or commons of Brunswick; and as I
am notone who merely whispers censure when
it is believed to be deserved, I accept the chal
lenge which you have volunteered, to discuss
the question of correctness of Mr. King’s con
duct in reference to these lands.
Before entering on the argument, I beg leave
to relieve your mind from the embarrassmont,
under which it labors from the consciousness
of departing from the “principles laid down
in the prospectus of this paper, that it should
have nothing to do with party politics.” If any
one ever supposed that this pledge was intend
ed to be applied to the member's of the Bruns
wick Company, “the error of such an opinion
will be corrected by reflection.”
It is fully understood, that the object of the
establishment of your journal, was to advocate
every thing and every one connected with that
body. It is their press: and it would be strange
indeed, were its full influence not exerted toad
minister the proper oblations of praise tp such of
its members as are in high places,and to bespat
ter those who may be so unlucky as to run coun
ter to their humor. “Why Hal, ’tis my voca
tion Hal; ’tis no sin for a man to labor in his
vocation.” Political neutrality, under such cir
cumstances, you cannot possess. Your nom
ination, by the President of the Company, at
Bethel, to act as the Secretary of an avowed
party meeting, should have been a sufficient
hint to you, of the practical construction you
were expected to give to that pledge. Permit
me, therefore, to suggest to you to abandon at
once Hamlet’s maxim, to “assume a virtue if
you have it not,” —to pass your pen through
that part of your prospectus, —and hereafter to
be governed by the more prudent advice of
that mirror of independence, the worthy Ma
jor Dalgetty,—“Friend Ranald, I have read of
these boons in silly story-books, whereby sim
ple knights were drawn into engagements to
their great prejudice; wherefore, Ranald, the
more prudent knights of this day never promise
any thing until they know that they may keep
their word anent the premises.'''
But, Sir, it is time to take up the subject of
intended discussion. As you have observed
that your remarks were made for the purpose “of
silencing, by the publication of the imporUti #G
facts, the false rumors and slanders w hiehjmjw
been circulated through the county
the acts and motives of Mr. King,” my
tion was naturally directed to find out
jiortant facts to which you allude; but arW**-
conning over your article several times in
search of them, I have found so few facts, and
these having so little bearing on the points at
issue, that the inference is unavoidable that
you have by some obliquity of mental percep
tion mistaken assertions for fade, of the former
there is an abundent supply. Like Gratiano’s
reasons, your facts arc to your assertions “as
two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of
chaff.” I have sought for them long before
finding them, and “now that I have them they
are not worth the search.” I therefore turn to
your assertions, whicli are truly what you
should have proved to be facts, as on their es
tablishment Mr. King’s vindication must de
pend.
You assert that the land known as the Com
mons of Brunswick, —being that which was
run by Mr. King,—“is vacant in the eye of the
law, and liable to be entered and run up by any
person," —and that Mr. King “ has the most un
doubted right both moral and legal" “ to keep the
letnd for his oivn advantage."
The first question,—and this is really the
most important point at issue ; is, are the Com
mons of Brunswick vacant lands : for if they
are not, it is obvious that no one has the right to
run them up,—and that those who have done so,
in the face of the general impression that they
were public property, must establish the fact
of their vacancy, or they stand convicted of a
public wrong. The burden of proof rests with
them. You meet it by the assertion that “.Mr.
King having occasion to examine the subject - ,
carefully traced the title till he found it had
never been yielded by the state that these
lands were vacant,” &c. Do you seriously
think that Mr. King’s opinion ona point of law
is of sufficient authority to settle the question ?
We require proof and not opinions! and I will
endeavor to furnish you with some, which may
not be very palatable. Vacant lands are such
portions of the domain of the State as have not
been appropriated, by the competent authori
ties, to the use of individuals or for public pur
poses. The proof of the appropriation is to be
found either in the original grant, or in sucli
admissions in the statutes of the State as clear
ly express the understanding and intention of
the Legislature as to the appropriation. In the
absence of a specific grant, such admissions,
sustained by long possession and public opin
ion, must be regarded as conclusive.
The first proof of the public character of the
Commons of Brunswick, is traditionary evi
dence. Since the first settlement of this Coun
ty, these lands have been know n as the Com
mons : and have been regarded by its inhabi
tants as appropriated to public purposes. Dur
ing the same period, the Board of Commission
ers of the Academy and town have been in con
tinued possession of them. These facts are
incontrovertible.
The next proof is derived from the acts of
the Legislature, as recorded in the printed
h statutes of the State.
The towns of Savannah, Augusta and Bruns
wick, with their commons, were established by
the provincial government of Georgia, and the
charters for them are not to be found in the
printed statutes of the State. The absence of
E 'ich charters or original grants, if it is to be
regarded as a proof that the lands were never
appropriated, proves rtsther too much, as it
w ould shew that the commons of Savannah and
Augusta as well as those of Brunswick are all
Vacant. This is an absurdity rather too start
ing to be advanced.
The proofs, on the statute book, of a recog
nition on the part of the State, that the com
mons of Brunswick have been appropriated to
public purposes, go father than those which
exist in favor of the commons of Savannah and
Augusta; and are to be found in several acts
lor ascertaining their boundaries, by resurvey
them;—making appropriations of a part of
them for education, &c.—and guarding them,
y a penalty, from any attempt to run them up,
In 1796, an act was passed, appointing cer
ain commissioners, “for ascertaining the boun
darie3 of the town and commons of Brunswick:”
in which they are required “also to cause the
commons of the said town to be rtsurveyed, and
an accurate map thereof to be returned to the
surveyor’s office.” In the same act the com
missioners are authorized,” to rent or lease
the whole or any part of the said commons.”
In 1797, another act was passed, authorizing j
the Commissioners to u se!l and dispose of 500
acres of the commons of Brunswick,” for the
use of the Academy, Jail and Court House. j
By the act of 1820, to alter and amend an
act “for ascertaining the boundaries of the tow n
and commons of Brunswick," &c,” Commis- 1
sioners are appointed, and required to “cause
the commons of the town to be resurveyed, and i
an accurate map thereof to be returned to the
surveyor’s office.” And they are also required
to carry into still effect the law of 1790, so far •
I as relates to the town and commons of Bruns- •
: wick.
In 1832, an act was passed w ithdrawing the
town of Brunswick from the control of the
Commissioners, appointed under the act of
IB2t!;but re-enacting the balance of it, “so
far but no farther as relates to the town comr )
mons and Academy lands adjoining the said
town.” And in 1835,the Commissioners were)
required “to lay off 300 acres of the town com- ]
inoiis of Brunsw ickand in the preamble of
the act it is stated, “whereas there are about
900 acres of commons edtached to the towvteof
Brunswick."
We have in the various acts, above recited, j
repeated declarations on the part of the Legis-,
lature, that certain adjoining Brunswick
are commons land, —that is, lands appropriated'
to public purposes. And that there might bq j
no mistake respecting the extent and position
of these commons, they are twice ordered to be
resurveyed, and an accurate map deposited in tlio
surveyor’s office. They were twice resurveyed, j
and at least one map of them is now, and has I
been for eight years, in the Surveyor General’s
Office. * j
But the Legislature, not content with these [
frequent declarations of the public character j
of the commons of Brunswick, and anxious to j
protect them against all encroachments, by 4he
tith section of the act of 179(5, makes it a j
penal offence “to attempt to run any paid of the
said commons, or town of Brunswick.” And j
says “whereas several persons have at sundry j
times made attempts to run up the commons of
said towns, but have been as ojlen defeated in the I
j caveat Courts of the said County,” &c. “Be
| it enacted that any person or persons w ho may j
! attempt to run any part of the said commons or 1
j towns of Brunswick and Frederica, under any
pretence whatever, shall be liable to a fine of five j
[hundred dollars, to be recovered in the Supcri- j
gfcLourt of the said Ckiunty, by tiie Commis-1
|Hfers, or any other person, or proprietor of any
HBfr lots in the said towns. “And all surveys
►JKfWofore made, and grants surreptitiously ob- j
iPBBed, are hereby declared null and void, and |
*lty person taking possession by virtue of any i
survey or grant as aforesaid, shall be liable to
the aforesaid fine.”
The meaning oi these several acts is so very
plain, and so level to the comprehension of any
understanding, that it is unnecessary to attempt;
to prove that they clearly show that the com- j
mQip'of Brunswick are no longer vacant lands,
q*|toject to be run up by any one. That this
irresistible it may be deemed,
nKQh not be without the sanction of high le-
I gal opinion, gentlemen of the greatest authori
ty & distinction at the bar have been consulted.
I Their opinion is in the following words,“that the
! act of J7!HJ,in effect re-enacted by the act of ’2(5,
I is still in force, so far as relates to tliesurvey
j iug or obtaining grants for any part of the
I commons of Brunswick, and consequently that
the severed giants of Messrs. King, Abrahams
and D’Lyon, if they cover these commons are
invalid."
And now, Sir, with these acts, before you,
and particularly that of 179(5, permit me to ask
you how you will prove your position that this
land “is vacant in the eye of the law - , and lia
ble to be entered and run up by any one.”—
Before you can do so you must show that va
cant and appropriated have the same meaning - ,
and that it is legal to do what the law prohibits.
I ask you distinctly to answer this question!—
You will find it “a question to be asked, but
not to be answered.”
So much for your assertion that Mr. King
had a legal right to run up the commons of
Brunswick. 1 will now - proceed to -examine
into the propriety of proceedings, with ref
erence to them, independently of the prohibi
tions of the law - . When Mr. King first direct- j
oil his attention to the subject of these lands, J
they were in the possession of the Commissioiw
ions of the Academy; and were then regarded, ]
as they had been from the earliest settlement
of the County, as devoted to the use of the
Academy, or to town and county purposes.— I
j Whatever differences of opinion may have ex-1
isted as to their exclusive appropriation to the
! one object or the other, there was none as to j
! their being the property of the public. With i
| a full knowledge of this fact befre him, a prop- i
J er deference for public opinion, and a due re-,
spect for public rights should have led him to'
distrust the correctness of his own impressions,
as to the lands being vacant; and have induced j
j him to obtain the consent of the inhabitants of
[ the County, before he took them into his own j
exclusive keeping, and assumed to himself the j
| right to decide on their proper application.—
His obvious course wits to have called a meet- j
ing of the citizens, and to have laid before j
them his views of the expediency of transfer-!
ring the commons from the Academy to the j
proposed Rail Road Company: and, had a ma- ;
jority coincided w - ith him in opinion, to have !
had a petition sent to the Legislature to .effect !
the transfer. No exception could have'been !
taken to this course, which would have been
respectful to the county, and would have put
it in the power of the people to use their dis
cretion, in the disposal of a property which be
longed to thorn alone. By the course he has
pursued, Mr. King has arrogated to himself a
superiority of judgment over the whole commu
nity, and has pronounced his own opinion to
be right and of all others to. be wrong.. In the
same spirit of assumption, he has taken upon
himself to decide for the public, without con
sulting it, that the commons land can be more
advantageously applied if devoted to the pro
motion of his favorite project, than if retained
lor the purposes of education, to which the
opinion of that public had dedicated it. And
to prevent any impertinent intermeddling of
the public in that decision, he has taken the
he may see fit
The inhabitants of this County, have not yet
fallen into such a state of mental imbecility, as
to require the Surrender of their opinions to the
keeping of any one:—neither has the time yet
arrived for the appointment of a guardian, with
dictatorial powers, to control their property.—
It will be no answer to this view of the subject
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
to say that Mr. King believed the property to be
vacant; and that the object appeared to him to
be very important. lam willing to give him
credit for purity of motives, but good intentions
and erroneous opinions do not justify wrongful
actions; neither does the end sanction the
means.
At the time when Mr. King made his sup
posed discovery of the vacancy of the com
mons land, he was the representative of this
County hi tlig Senate of the State ; and was
also a Commissioner of the Academy. The
apppointnients which he held, made him the
appropriate protector of the interests of the
County and Academy. Having made the dis
covery* as he thought, of a defect in the title
of the Academy and tow n to the commons,
what was his obvious duty? Certainly, to
have it corrected. The repeated acts of the
Legislature,—including the one introduced by
himself at that very session—prove that it re-
quired only the application to be made, to have
succeeded in securing the greater part, if not
the whole of it, for the use of the Academy.—
Why was not this done:—why were lands,
“generally supposed to have been appropriated
by the State for the education,” permitted,—
when the Senator from Glynn had the power
to prevent it, —to remain js he supposed “lia
ble to be entered and run up by any one ?”
Can he justify himself for the omission ? Can
he plead this defenceless state of the property,
—which he neglected to guard against, ns a
legitimate excuse for availing himself of the ‘
advantage w hich he believed to be presented '
| to any?
I The limited space to which this communi- !
| cation must be confined, to adapt it for inser
tion in your paper, precludes me from discuss
ing many other points, which have an impor
tant bearing on this question. I therefore,
! among others, pass over the secret manner in
| which the survey was made ;—the attempt to
! enlist the feeling, which exists in the County
j in favor of Brunswick, against the Commission-j
| ersjpf the Academy, for discharging their im
i perative duty,—holding up them, and all oth-1
I ers ppposed to a trespass on the rights of the 1
County, as enemies to Brunswick :—and the
appeal to party spirit conveyed in the intoler
ant declaration that “those who are not for us
are against us.” All these I readily omit to
discuss, believltig that the inhabitants of this
| County, are too intelligent to confound the
I cause ot Brunswick with the important interest!
'of education: —sufficiently independent to re-1
ject the attempt to" bring them under collar
government;—anil so just as to appreciate the j
motives of those who have stepped forward,j
from a sense of individual and public duty, in '
defence of public rights. % ’ i
The want of space also prevents any dis- i
cussion of the question, to whicli public inter- i
est, —that of the Academy or of the town—the !
commons lands belong. The discussion of!
. that question is, however, not at all important
in respect to Mr. King’s proceeding, as it is
sufficient with reference to him, to have prov
ed that the lands are not vacant, but that they
arc public properly. The eminent counsel to
whom you have alluded, have, it is true, given
their opinion, that the power and duty to in
stitute suit belongs to the town and not to the
Academy; but it is equally true, as has been
; stated, that they affirm the commons to he pub
lic property, and not subject to be run tip.
As one of your apparent objects is to give a
political complexion to the questions at Issue,
1 will observe, that the foregojpg remarks are
not intended to produce any effect on Mr.
King’s election to the Senate. As far as lam
aware of the fact, no opposition is or has been
| intended to any of the present candidates for
! the Legislature. Many persons who are de
cidedly opposed to the course that Mr. King
has pursued with reference to commons, will
yet vote for him, from tlje belief that his elec
tion may promote the advancement of Bruns
wick. It is on this ground that he is.to expect
the Support of the county. Let him not, there
fore, mistake this matter. His election will
be no proof that the majority of the County
sanctions his running the commons. lie will
be voted for in spite of that act, —not in con
sequence of it. If he questions this, let him
not draw a doubtful inference from the result
of an election, where there are no opponents,
and whicli will be decided on other grounds ;
but let him call a general (not party) meeting
of the inhabitants of the county, and submit to
them the question, distinctly,and alone, w heth
er they approve of the running of the commons
of Brunswick. If he will pass through this
j ordeal, and the decision be in his favor,~he will
. be at liberty to infer that public opinion is with
j him: but until then, I risk the assertion that it
lis against him, and challenge him to the proof.
Having now, Mr. Editor, got through with
the discussion of a few of the most important
: points of the question at issue, I am prepared,
! by the facts which have been established, to
! answer yourjnsinuations against the motives of
j those who have condemned ffie course pursued
!by Mr. King. To your pathetic enquiry,
■ What private, griefs they have, alas I know not.’
I will “with reasons answer you.” Their pri
' vate griefs are —public wrongs , Feeling indig
nant that any one, in a community of laws and
equal rights, should attempt to seize upon w - hat
has universally been regarded as public prop
erty : and that any one should arrogate to him
self the right to dictate to a whole’cornrnunity
what disposition is to be made of its property.
And not being tame enough to submit to ag
gression without resistance, they have openly
expressed their disapprobation of such meas
ures. Having done so, they are not surprised
to find that the stale expedient has been resort
ed to, of representing the aggressor as the par- i
ty aggrieved, and of vilifying motives w - here 1
facts cannot be disproved.
PUBLIC RIGHTS.
It will be seen by a reference to our adver
tising columns that the Brunswick Company
will contract with individuals for the excava
tion of the Canal, and have not the slightest
intention of abandoning their undertaking.
The Company were never in belter spiritf*-
they have it is true thrown away some money
but they have learned experience and correct
ed their errors—the works have progressed as
rapidly as the number of hands employed per
mitted. Under the efficient management of the
highly aqpomplished and engineer,
Lt. J. L. Locke, there is every prospect that
the Canal will be completed under the es
timates of Col. Baldwin.—Gentlemen desirous
of finding employment for theif hands, may
find it for their interest to place, them on the
Canal. While the publio wqrkff at the North
have all been suspended, this company is de
termined to push on with renewed vigor and
before the close of 1838 it is - their determina- j
ion to complete their works.

• inform the Printers of the United States,
to whom they have been individually known
as established letter founders, that they have
now formed a co-partnership in said business,
and an extensive expedience, they hope to bs
able to give satisfaction to all who qiay favor
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting
type by hand, a desideratum by the European
founders, was by American ingenuity", a heavy
expenditure of time and money'bn the part of
our senior partner, first successfully accom
plished. Extensive use of the' inachine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established*!!* su
periority in every particular, over those cast
by the old process,, »
The letter foundry business will hereafter
be carried on by the parties before named, un
der the firm of" White, Hager & Cos. . Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from
Diamond to Sixty-four Lines Pica. The 800ß
