To the free and indrpendant voteri of
the State of Georgia.
However strongly »f n ay feel, in com
mon wiihjou, the importance of the »p-,
ptosehmg eleclion, yet we should nol have
addressed yon* word through the press,
had il not been for the arrogant pretensions,
flagrant misrepresentations, and bitter in
vectives of a writer in the Augusta Herald
ot the 7th September, who adopts the im
posing signature of “ Baldwin.” A name,
venerated in Georgia, and seized, like many
other popular names, by tbe same writer,
for the purpose of giving acceptation and
spirit to the views ot a party. Pursuing
tin- same manner, he heads his piece with
the insidious question, “ shall we consult
John Clarke's revenge, or our own interest
ami honor ?” and it will be well for this in
flamed partizan, il a slight examination, does
rot convict him and the little squad, lie re
presents, of the same “ revei ge, bile and
phlegm” which he so abundantly attributes
toothers. He stands in fact already con
victed by Ids own production, for he com
plains ot personal revenge, at the very mo
ment he is charging the Governor of a free
people, with being the head of a faction,
and prostituting ins office to the undue put
tectitn of State haok» He complains of
private revenge, at the same moment he is
accusing the Governor, of (corruptly) giv
ing pardons to convicted felons ; and he (in
nocent patriot, modest man!) is warning the
people against personal revenge, at the very
moment he is charging the Governor with
giving “ bribes to Savages, red and white”;
aid tins too in a matter, (the acquisition
made by the late Treaty with the Indians)
wherein this same Governor has received
tin unqualified approbation of neary three
fourths ol *s enlightened and independent
a l.egisiatur* as ever assembled Wrilhin the
wall- ol your State-House ! We w l go
farther and aver, that it is a mailer
already sanctioned by the deliberate judg
ment, and honest feelings of tbe people of
this State ! Wlta* are we to think of the
modesty and impartiality ol a man who pro
fewung to have “ one drop ot Georgia blood
running in his veins," should attempt to
wound and disgrace Georgia by slanders So
foul heaped on her Chief Magistrate ! But
it is this writer who fcels himself to be a I
chosen messenger sent to preach to the peo
ple against private revenge, party spirit and
ruinous faction. *1 his is the lair and impar
tial specimen, he affords of his heavenly gilt
to allay facWon ; and to top the climax of
hi» Christian z-al and labors lie thinks pro
per to make those heavy and scandalous
clia gea without a vestige ot proof! fl he
has it; where is it ? Has tie referred to do
cument or evidence, oral or written ; or
dues he really believe that the Legislature
and the people whom lie libels, are to he
driven to fore-aware their own deliberate
convictions, and serve him and his party ? j
Are they to tolerate the pretentions of a 1
man, who under the cloak of preaching j
*> peace and good-will to men” is seizing :
those very personal and invidious topics |
which ol all others are best calculated to •
excite party-spirit i and shall such a writer 1
expect the people to go with Inin, when Co- j
Vcred by so thin a Veil, as that cvi-ry eye
Can see hint t Wno is so leaky that he ha'd
ly utter.-> a sentence, before lie discloses Ins
views to be those ol a tacli-u t It we are
not gt s.iy mistaken, fellow-citizens, upon
part' spirit he feeds, sod in the atmosphere
of taction he delights to breathe ! If this
is not the case, why lias lie made the vin
dictive abuse ol ClarkC, and the excessive
eulogy ot Craw lord the burden of los song
from the beginning, to the end? It lie
sought to allay the heat of party, and to pro
mote the true interests of the people, Why
dial so much in names and so little in ads.
Vby not let cacti man stand or fall by lus
own acts ? But no; tins would not answer
Ins pui pose.
The true question now before the people
is, ought Clarke lo be the neat Governor ?
But from tins, he attempts to turn away your
attention, by calling party names, ami arous
ing party teeiings. t he. people in electing
their Uepresctitstives at the ensuing elec,
tion, have their eye steadily flxed upon this
question ; and tor litis purpose they are
carefully examining whether Clarke’s acts
as Governor, entitle him to their confidence.
Whether lie has behaved as an upright, intel
ligent and faithful officer, or the reverse.
W hfitier he Inis been guilty of “ bribery
and corruption,” or departed (nun the inva
riable custom ol tbe most illustrious men
that i ver adorned tins republic, in using lus
best endeavors to ensure the late Indian
treaty ; and whether the lfeprewntatives
ol die people, committed a high crime in
voting him their unqualified approbation for
lus conduct in tlu* matter : and dus too af
ter ins grant of £IO,OOO to the distressed
Citizens ot Savannah, amt after his unweari
ed diligence m detecting and furnishing
prool against a high officer, appointed to
support the honor and interest ot ihe coun
tr\ among the neighbouring Indian tribes.
But this writer, is not willing to consider
the ujjicial acts of the Governor, or if lie
glanees at them, il is merely lo utter an un
qualified s under, without a particle of
proof, ft is he that “ digs up tiie dead and
putrid scamlais of twenty years," jiuler a
pretence that the people in electing their
next Governor, sliouiJ lay bold ol every
thing by w hich to make up their opinions,
except the very matters that are pertinent
Slid proper.—f mean the conduct and acts
of the candiitales themselves; and ict me :
here assure im» wnter, that ne.lhcr Gover
nor Ciarke or an) ol Ins fnemls have bro't,
st all, into public view, to influence the en
suing Elections, that pamphlet upo.i winch
hr pours out ** the viais ol Iris wrath,” or
the topics embraced in it. Nt nher Gover
nor Clarke or his friends, have brought into
vkvv Uic next Presidential election, as a le
ver liv which to prise themselves into pow
er, or io secure the next Governor’s election.
They have nol been the sutiiors or the st.rrei s
up ii| that great ferment, w tncli now agitates
the stale, trom one end to the other, they
have not invited the parluan* ot War to tne
open held ol Mule and utkvhvd ; or solici
ted the powtrlul »id ot the pres- to sustain
their cause, tin the contrary, ns arlnicry
has been early, warmly »nd ungenerously, in
some instances, (;vs they have conceived) le
vclled at him. the Governor and ms trie nils,
1 repeat it, s>* fur Irvin seizing thv >e various
and misplaced topics, were perfectly Iran
quii ami quo t» ini tncy nave been wantonly
assauevi bv such w uters as the o e in ques
tion , ano me ua-on ot their tranquility,
tested upon the official acts and conduct of
the Governor- They were bcP re the peo
ple, and il not very fairly betoic the people,
mvomg to the **cit preponderance of the
Editois cu the public presses being one the
\|Qj)ier tide, yet they hoped they were suffi
ciently so, lor the purposes of justije ; and
with the people they were willingly and
calmly disposed to rest the question. Such
writers however as “ Baldwin,” prove that
this hope was vain and illusory. Wm, H.
Crawford, die Secretary of the Treasury,
With a” his patronage (arm he knows but
lift! ‘bio does not know, that the patronage
of h. office is exceedingly powerful, ex
•ending the whole length and breadth of the
Union) must be drawn in to decide the con
test. Not merely secretly and artfully
drawn in, but openly and publicly ; and it
remained for one who felt himself so deeply
interested as “ Baldwin,” to make this open
avowal. He had not the patience and vir
tue of necessary and prudent concealment,
for it is from his lips, and not from those of
John Clarke, as he unfoundedly asserts, issue
the words” dorm -with Clarke or Cranford .”
We have now arrived fellow citizens at
the true cause of the great agitation pro
duced among us. C!arke, whether he acts
correctly or the reverse, must be put down,
to make way for the accession of William
H. Crawford to tbe Presidency ; and altho’
a declaration of such rank party-spirit and
persecution, would have been, at least os
tensibly, concealed by a more prudent wri
ter than " Baldwin,” yet I am glad tbe avow
al has been made, because it shews to what
inordinate lengths some of Mr. Crawford’s
friends will go to advance their future hopes(<h
and to sustain a falling party. It shews the
people too, with how much effrontery they
are called upon to sacrifice one man, not for
the good ol the state, or of the nation, but
merely to exalt another on his ruins. Now,
if this writer had been destitute of that jaun
dice of party which discolors all his views,
and which he attributes to others; had he
been tile true messenger of peace, he would
have told the people, not to crush one dis
tinguished man to make way for another ;
but would have said to them “ here are two
“ persons heading two different parties,
“ both of whom, clothed in that frailty which
** is the garment of all mankind, have at
“ tunes gone too far. They are not dispos
“edto do full justice to each other. They
“ are both men possessing many good quali
“ ties; but cannot well stand together :
“ It however fortunately happens that there
“ need be no dispute, or party-spirit about
“ the matter, for one offer* for our State
Government at an election in two mouths,
1 “ and the other offers for the Presidency of
the United States, three years hence. Now
“ I cannot sanction the pretensions of the
“ Candidate fur the Governor, but i am an
“ ardent and devoted friend and admirer of
« the Candidate lor the Presidency ; but a3
“ you the sovereign people, may differ with
” me as lo the G .vernor, I am exceedingly
” rejoiced that you may gratify, and perhaps
“ measurably unite, both parties, bv making
“ the one Governor, and (so far as your
“ voice goes,) the other President; and this
“ candor constrains me to say would be an
“ independent course.” Now instead of
| making to the people an address of such li
| bcrtlity as this, (lie dish is not, at all, sea mil
| ed to Ins palate. “ Cut and slay” is his max
) im, thu* he vainly endeavors to palm it on
j the G overnor; pud much as lie may be as- |
| founded to hear it, the language of the Go
, vernor, when lie lias been compelled to
j speak, about Crawford’s pre’entions to the
Presidency, has. been in the above strain,
flc lias uniformly said to those addressing
him on tile subject, take him if you choose,
but had I a vote ! should not give it to him.
That he is opposed to Crawford, and has
been for the last 15 years, is beyond all
question, but not through private revenge
or party-spirit as “ Baldwin” asserts, but be
cause lie disapproves his political course,
and because he has believed, as he now does,
that he has been instrumental in doing him
most crying injustice, in consequence of
which, the most fiery persecution has fol
lowed him, without any disposition shewn,
to make a just, manly und liberal atonement!
All this time, even up lo the present day,
Clarke conceives himself to hare acted on
the defensive, and not to have hunted Ins en
emy in revenge, as has been insidiously re
presented ; or to have applied to the body
politic, the torch of party spirit. It is not
wonderful however that the friends of Craw
ford should view, with the most hateful jea
lousy, any rising influence which lie may
T be supposed to possess in the state ; and it
is as little wonderful, that they should exert
all their power, industry and talents t > crush
it, even if it leads to the sacrifice of the pos
sessor, and every thing dear lo him ; the
more especially, when it is considered, how
vastly important to Crawford in the approach
ing contest, will be every vote, and even
the reputation he may have in the state,
which lie claims as his own. It is not won
derful that “ he should issue orders” to mar
shal his forces, and sound the Harm lor put
ting down Clarice ; and most appropriate
would it be that •• the orders” should come
(as Baldwin expresses it) to those “ aspir
ing sons which Georgia possesses, who may
one day erect their lofty forms, among the
proudest of tbe nation.” it was natural that
“ the seidhngs” should now play the un
der part, and sound stoutly the alarm, as
" Baldwin” has done, seeing that they are
to receive their vegetative growth, strength
and size, from “ the Oak already expanded
■ and hardened by age.” *‘ln this calculation
John Clarke I” too “ omit,” but l include
“ Baldwin” and all that squad of aspiring
expectants, who believe they are to spring
into greatness and distinction, as the lugii
priests of the nation, upoirthe ascension ol
Wm. 11. Crawford to the highest office in
the Government, f'liese are the Gentlemen
J (and not John Clarke) vv ho are now agitat
ing the stale, and who are breathless with
anxiety and pain, when they discover a
speck on the horizon which may, in the
least, darken the ptospects of William H.
Craw lord. I'lie-e are the men who, very
liberally, stand ready to sacr-fice the present
G ivernor upon a mere contingency —to sacri
fice lum, because h.s ic-e.ccnuo now may
endanger that of Crawtord three years
hence. If the people had not before known
tli.s. ** Ita dwm” bus told then so. He os- >
every possmle exertion and art, to inspire
Georgia with a pride tor the next President.
I nlecd ins zeal seems so great, that we
doubi whether be would not oe willing to
accept of an automaton from Georgia, rather
than not have the honor. He speaks ot the
superlative honor of tins being only one ol
26 states (two more than 1 have ever hear.!
u.) aid )et having me, out of four ot' the
officers in the Cabinet. Ol the great claims
0 anU adva tages ihat it will afford us, tor gilts
and p»tl,.iiiigr • and after heavily charging
.himself with these quixotic notions and
swelling into a high pitch of importance,
he bursts out into the exclamation “ are we
teady then, o renounce the advantages of
an advocate in the Cabiuetl •” W hen his
views are exalted still higher to the Brest- •,
deucy, he strikes a still higher ami bolder
note, and exclaims “ what additional weight
do these reactions acquire when we con
sider his (Crawford’s) pretentions to the
Presidency ; the high importance of giving
a first magistrate to the Union; and the
tendency of present dissentions to defer
that honor, for an indefinite period, if not
defeat it forever !”
How then can we doubt the devotion of
such a man to factions and party views,
when he would make the ligaments which
bind the state together, crack and break,
rather than not see his favorite “on the
throne,” rather than not serve “the great
man" who lie says has “arose among us.”
For this purpose, at a certain festival <l<*nng
the summer (if we are not inist»Ke-i) he
drank, “ Wm. H. Crawford as the man
whom Georgia would honor, because he had
done honor to her,” and for this purpose he
also drank “the firm Union of the South, See."
both of which toasts, it is believed, he compos
ed, and the last of which, which whilst it serves
to shew a most disorganizing and dangerous
spirit, to divide North from South, shews
also, how deep a stake, he has, or thinks
he has, in the next Presidential election.
It is for the elevation of Crawford that
“ Baldwin” and his advisers, when hard
pressed, are ready to denounce and deliver
up, tor sacrifice, the poor writer of the
“ Trio’* as “ an advocate ot Mr. Crawford,
“ who not content with his vindication, has
i “ done wrong to others, and to none more
“ than himself, by assailing the highest ol
“ ficers of the Governmentand to deny
that Mr. C. either advised or approved of such
an attack. It is true that he dare not open
ly, and avowedly make such an attack against
the man who gives him political life, with
out endangering his place, hut does “ Bald
win” pretend to know the secret workings
of the Secretary’s tnind, better than the
writer ot the “ Trio,” who for many years
and particularly for four winters past has
oeen Ins confidential and bosom friend ?
Does ue pretend to know the movements
>t this great manager, better than the Trio
writer ; who is fresh from the lecture
oom, and the great scene of political war
iare 1 I admit that ‘t Baldwin” may gene
any be more prudent than “Trio” (•ha’

Georgia, or to the United State*, a* Ciarlte
has been considerably instrumental in pro
ducing, in the short time he has been in Of
fice. Here I admit that every act alluded
to, lias been a ground of indiscriminate ac
cusation and slander ; but what d its tlnv
shew but a virulent dispasi'rin to persecute
and put him down, by all possible way* and
means ? M hat docs thi* shew, hut that
those acts which would not only be innocent
in others, tiiemes calling for strains of ex
alted eulogy, are condemned in John Clarke
as badges of the blackest deformity an 1
w.ckedness 1
In the first place, one of the most diis
frous calamities in the memory of man, fell
upon our largest commercial City, Savannah,
and so destructive was its fury, that in a few
hours, thousands, from a state of compara
tive ease, were aroused to a state of the
most appalling want and wretchedness.
This much abused man, issued a draught
from the fund placed at his disposal tor state
contingencies for £IO,OOO for the immedi
ate relief of the sufferers, and this we will
venture to say, he did in the exercise of a
virtue, which not only adorns all society
wherein it may exist, but adds unlading lus
tre to the highest heavens; and yet for this
he i s a»sß.led and abused.
Again—lt will not be denied that to his
vigilance, activity and energy is due the ex
posure of the late detested transaction of
smuggling Africans into this state* ; and
although “ Baldwin - ’ clearly expresses dis
trust of that, tribtma 1 , to whom the party,
whether wisely or unwisely (as he expresses
himself) submitted Ins case, yet so strong
and irre-istible was the evidence (I refer not
to that miserably gasbled statement, which
has been in a course of publication for some
weeks pa-t, but to the evidence placed be
fore the F.xecutive of the United States,)
that there could be but one opinion, among
the impartial, who saw it, as to its force- If
it could have been resisted the honor of the
Government, in preserving the honor of one
of its Confidential officers required that it j
should have bei n resisted by the able and ;
impartial tribunal who had charge of it. 1
But here we are again met by the accusa- I
tion ol party and private revenge, in col- |
lecting such evidence and prosecuting the I
trial to a result. Be it so, then, in the eyes j
ot those who make the charge, but will the ,
Executive of the United St at; s, believe the 1
duty an unimportant one ■ \V ould not every
state in the Union, have felt its own charac- |
ter at stake, in preserving the honor of the 1
Union, from *0 foul a stain ' It i> averred

purpose of injuring the Governor at the en -
ailing election, we have heard it whispered
that he wished to support, or was pledged
to support a Northern candidate for Presi
dent, at the next election. This is utterly
untre. He stands pledged to no man, nor
will he stand so pledged ; but it is true,
that so far as he may have any influence, and
choose to exert it, he will regard no parti
cular section of the Union. He would anx
iously look over the whole continent, for
the man best fitted to ensure the lasting
prosperity of this happy country ; though
he would esteem it, not only excusable but
even laudable to prefer a Georgian, where
political principles and talents were equal.
Thus Fellow. Citizens have we been drawn
be lore you to say much more than we had
at first any idea of but we trust from good
motives and in defending a good cause. We
believe that any man who deliberately reads,
the piece over the signature of" Baldwin''
will see that he wishes to drive the people
of Georgia to a state of party desperation,
ruinous to themselves, and destructive to the
harmony and peace of the state. If you
can hear without resentment the charges of
corruption and bribery which he endeavors
to fling in the face ol the man, who has been
fairly chosen to stand at the helm of your
stale affairs.—lf you can believe with this
writer, that “ it is idle to imagine that we can
sustain both Crawford and Clarke,and if
you can, with fire and taggot, go with him
' in his gentle, Christian like and apostolic pur
pose of putting down and sacrificing Clarke
l to make way for Crawford, lest the first,
. should stand in the way of the mighty pur
: poses of the last. Jf you are disposed to
put him down, because he may possibly stand
| in the way of Georgian’s claims to honor
and patronage and gifts, from the national
government, or rather, of some few of her
“ aspiring sons erecting their lofty Jorms among
the proudest of the nation,” in n/h Executive
appointments, as this writer has distinctly
enough told you, then the consequences how
ever dangerous will be with yourselves. But
if you do sacrifice him, avow the principles
upon which you do it. Let the knife not be
drawn to slay tbe victim because he has dis
tinguished himself as your faithful, vigilant
and upright officer ! Let him not be sacri
-1 tieed because there flows in hi* viem the
| fcuod of that venerated father who so well
loved his country, as to destroy his fortune,
and risk his life in fighting her battles, and
from whom his son claims nothing but the heri
tage of a good-name, and the same love for,
ami disposition to defend her republican
rights, which ever actuated the father.
