1 do contend, the presses of our country
ought to L" examined well, to the end that
they sustain their original purity, as created
in the tenor of die const! tut ion, and expunge
all "titering self-interested policies, which
may sometimes he adopted by those editors
who will assume the authority of suitpress
ing all energetic communications on our
domestic evils in society, from a fear of
offending some one, and thereby loose a
subscriber, or some political supporters and
intriguers.
Although this communication is address
ed to you, gentlemen,as editors,yet it is not
my meaning to convey any pointed remarks
on your press, further than to express my
sentiments generally, to all editors, reserv
ing to my accustomed candour, tire right of
asking why my late reply to *• Old Savan
nah,” who appeared in your columns a
gainst me, was not published in your paper
agreeable to my last will and testament to
my adopted son ? I have always understood
it customary for the press first giving place
to any production that might draw a reply
from tin opposite quarter, to be equally
open to the other party, and Ijjghould con
ceive this course fro! just and clearly within
the letter of civility, until such editor might
wish to decline the use ol his types, ami give
notice at any stage of the controversy, that
the respomlant’s reply must exonerate him
from it further with the requests
ofthe part it su
| One object <vf this communication is to
i excite, if possible, some more able pen, upon
tiie all-important subject of investigating the
present policies of our public priming estab
lishments ; for which purpose I claim as
much right to make this suggestion, as the
late writers in the Georgian to request “in
formation from all parts of the state, in any
mnnncr'tuu.u agreeable,” upon the subject
of goose-quill canals. What is an editor,
leu a public organ, through whose types
every citizen has an undoubted right to
breath his sentiments among his fellow citi
zens, without such editor being impeachable
by the public, as accessary to any commu
nication, unless attached to his own editorial <
department of the paper ? Permit me to t
suggest furthermore, to my country men, the <
propriety of appointing an uncontanimated
committee, agreeable to lit e fashion ofthe i
present times, to survey tiie political light I
(louses of our country —1 mean (he priming '■
establishments ; and thereby endeavor to j
ascertain, if possible, bow .many, and their •
localities, are at this da}’ lobe found, upon I
which we can depend—as the unadtiliera- i
ted descendants or proselytes of the fixed <
I.ghts of Washington, Franklin and com- i
p iny. And also the number of revolving '
lights, based upon (lie pivot of selfinterest, i
like so many wind-mills turning to every <■
political breeze round the compass most <
impregnated with the odoriferous perfumes a
ft om the golden bowls at the fountain. t
H it should be found that the revolving *
| lights, have already become so numerous as
[ to obscure the fixed lights ; i ask my bro- *
[ther messmates ofthe American crew, if
there is not eminent danger, from the gatli- 1
ering storms in the political horizon, of our v
brave ami long skilled patriotic commander, 11
becoming at last confused at the helm of s

good old Republican Ship being drawn im
perceptibly by tin; bewitching suck, into a

self interested lee-way, may capse her to-me

bravo comrades, “ don’t !■ i us give up the b

ROBINSON CRUSOE.
Ft was in Dam pier’s Inst voyage that he
discovered Alexander Selkrik (the orioinal
Robinson Crusoe of De Foe,) on th e ] s [ e
Juan Fernandez. Tips individual \ VI !
born at Largo, in the county of Fife, Set,;,
land ; and previous to his remaining on tho
island, had been master of the Cinq le
Ports, under Captain Stradling. He v ! s
couriered the most hble and intrepid sea
man among the free-booteis, 'i’he f ,cca.
sion of his being left ashore was, a quarrel
with his Captain, and tiie shattered state of
the vessel. After a law days, however, he
was desirous of returning, hut Stradlin? re
fused la taka him on board. Thus' left
alone and desolate,he sat night after night
and day after day, watching the periodical
return of the Bucaneers; sometimes with a
glimmering of hope, but more frequently
abandoning hihib-ij'to the agony of despair
and never satisfying the cravings of nature
till compelled by extreme hunger j but man
is the creature of habit, and Selkirk, after
seven or eight months, became accustomed
to the solitude, aud shook elf his melan
choly. * v
lie built himself two lints of pimento
trees, thatched with grass and covered
with goats’ skins. These were stored with
all t lie wealth lie possessed, viz: liis clothes,
bedding, musket, some powder and bull, a
keltic and. knife, several books, anion:/
which was die Bible, and bis nautical in
slrumeiils. In his larger hut he lived and
slept.; frequently employing himself in
reading and prayer, mid occasionally giving
vent to the fulness of his heart by sinpinv
psalms, so that he afterwards observed, that
he was a better Christian during his solitary
retreat from the world, than lie ever had
been before, or he feared ever should he
iigain. The smaller but was reserved for
cooking and other purposes.' A moms Ids
amusements to while away die dreary hums,
was cutting his name on trees, with the date
of Ids landing, and the duration .of his.con
finement; looking forward to-the time when
fl might possibly meet the eye of a country
man, perhaps, after his,remains had moul
dered into 'l ist. i
He was at first much annoyed hy cats
and nits, which had from time to time run
away from die ships that touched at die
island, and become very numerous. The
rats gnawed his feet and dollies, while lie
was sleeping ; but the cals became domes
ticated, aud soon delivered Idm from the
more destructive vermin. lie had also
tamed some young kids, and taught them
a number of tricks for Ids diversion, fre
quently singing and dancing with them and
Ids cats. His principal I'on was goat’s
flesh, and erny fish, dressed in various ways
according to Ids taste. When his powder
failed, lie hunted the goats down by speed
of foot; for his ample mode of living, with
tiie continual exercise of running, had ren
dered 1 1 im amazingly s.yifj in passing
through woods, and agile in diming (lit
hills and rocks. On one occasion, how
ever, while pursuing the animal with great
eagerness, he caught Ids game cm ihc brink
of a steep precipice, concealed faun Ids
view hy tangled bushes, so that he fell (rum
the height, and was so much injured as to
lay, as he supposed, for 24 horns, without
sense or motion. On reviving he (otiml the
gnat lying dead beneath him. This acci
dent confined him nearly a fortnight to Ids
hut. A circumstance.,something similar in
its nature, but more ftfal in (lie result, oc
curred about fifteen years since, on n un
inhabited island in the South Seas. A Win
was wrecked, and only two individuals
escaped; one of them an African, the other
air Englishman, still living, tit present an
officer in the royal navy, and employed in
a situation of considerable scientific impor
tance. These two lived tolerably com for- !
table for the first twelve months; but short- l
ly after tins, being engaged mi limiting, the j
African fell from a great height and wa» I
literally dashed to pieces. We have heard I
this narration from the lips of the survivor,
who remained a considerable time after lids /■
melancholy event, on the island, lonely and
sad, till happily relieved hy tiie casual ar
rival of a whaler.
But, to return to Selkirk. He Ind kept
a regular account ofthe number ofgoats he
had killed, which amounted to 500, he had
caught many mov ■, marking them on the -
ear, and then restoring them to liberty.—
l ire insipidness of his meals, without bread
md salt, was at first a great inconveniiicc,
but Dumpier having, in a former voyage,
sowed some turnips, they now produced
very abundantly, spreading over several ,
icres of ground: he had also a plentiful
aipply of cabbage, from the cabbage palm;
mil these being well seasoned, with the*
Vint ofthe pimento, soon gave a relish to
ds food. His clothes and shoes were
speedily, worn out. To remedy the first
lefoct, lie made a coat* and cap of gnat,
kins, ami shirts from linen he had with
dm, using a trail byway of a needle, unci
lie ravellings of a worsted stocking !»'
bread ; but lie was compelled to go with
rare feet, and the soles got, in time, so hard
o enable him to ascend tiie sharp rocks f
vithout material inconvenience.
During Ids confinement, lie had seen sc- [
,-eral ships pass the island; but only two,
vldcb were Spaniards, came loan anchor;
>ut he preferred the risk ofhlyiiitr unheeded
ind alone, to surrendering himself into their
lower; dreading that they would either pat
dm to death or send him as a slave to the
nines. The Spaniards, however, disco
vered, pursued and shot at him ; but lie
■scaped by climbing a thick tree, at the
but of which several of them slopped.
This extraordinary man was well known
o Dam pier; hut in ids first corning on I
Minrd, had so forgotten Ids language thit ■ I
aiuld scarcely understand him. tie eng I
