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.

' The Emerald sprung a leak in the Gulf Stream j on the 21 inst. and the first warning the crew j had was five feet water in the hold; It blow ing heavily at the time and a high sea raging, they immediately hauled out of the Gulf for the land ; and in a sinking condition were for- | tunate to reach so near tiie shore for the ship to sink in 4 1-2 fathoms of water off St. Si- 1 Hions, the Light House bearing \V.

As there lias been a heavy and constant gale for four days, the sloop Argo, was despatched [ on the 2(ilh, from this place “the only vessel to be obtained” to save if possible the materials |of the ship as the cargo must all have been lost and the ship with water.
