From (he Federal Union*
UUIIHITT’S CASE.
I regret that I am in justice to myself
and others, compelled to weary the pa
tience of my ’rentiers with ttie iletulls of u
subject now so familiar to them. My
statement is before them, which Mr,
Grnntland has not dared to assail :,e con
tradict—because he knows every word
of it to he true. 1 can, however, assure
him, that he has a much more serous task
to perform in the vindication of his con
duct in Burritt's Case, than mere com
pliance with u rule of courtesy. Mr.
Grnntland-piques himself upon his ac
complishments in the School of the Gra
ces, while he seems to have overlooked
tiie weightier matters of his grammer, his
classics, and the laws of his country.—
lie thinks with Mr. Burritt's Council,
“that his ease was not unlike that of
“Acteon, pursued by his own hounds'’ f ‘
ho will turn to his mythology “ c xv jij
that Actwon was devoted by his hounds,
been use lie was was turned into a slag, for
violation of certain sacred rights—that
(his mefnmornhosis was not effected by
part: that destroyed him.—but that
they turncii upon nun, uecuuse, iu his
transfiguration, he was fair game. < That
a learned counsellor in the heat of argu
ment, should have used thesimilc, is per
fectly cxcuseable—but that Ids imitator,
who hud six months for reflection, should
have Inhered so long under the error, ar
goes a wont of knowledge on his part,
and perhaps a predetermination, to lay
up for use at some future occasion like
the present, n piece of classic lore perfect
ly new to him. As Mr. Grantlund bus
thought proper to refer to an expression
of this gentleman, who (except some dif
ference of political views)stands as high
in my estimation as he cun in 31 r. Grant
laud's—l will mention an opinion of his,
uttered under circumstances of more de
liberation. Colonel Lamar, after the trial,
observed to me in the street, that I “could
not have acted more prudently and cor
rectly, if I had had sic months for refection. —
Morels on expression of opinion from
Mr. Burritt's counsel and Mr. Grnntliuid's
political friend, fur above the standard of
Mr. G ! s. jaundiced prejudices.
Mr. Grnntland has been ns unfortunate
in the application, ns he has in the con
ception, ol Action’s story. He attempts
to impress upon the public that Burritt’s
political supporters were Ibo only per
sons who joined in the chase against iiim.
The kind of courtesy usually exercised
by Mr. Grnntland towards some of the
'gentlemen to whom I he affair was opened,
lias been indulged in this ease to the ex
tent. This they had a right to expect
from him. Bnt ldoubt whether Ihe Gov
ernor, Gen. Mitchell and Mr. Torrance,
who appeared for the State, A' Mr. Green,
the Post-31 aster, were not surprised that
Mr. Grnntland, in his extreme desire not
to he thought “iineourteous,” should have
ranked them among the “ hounds’’ that
pursued this unfortunate “Act.t.on.”
How ever Mr. Grnntland may endea
vor to shield himself behind theskreen of
humanity for Mrs. Ilurritfs afflictions, he
stands forth before the public as the as
sertor of ilurritfs innocence, and the vin
dicator of his cause. This is fastened
Upon him by bis own acknowledgements,
however, prudent ho may find it to plead
the cause of sympathy in justification of
ids course, lie says, that he believed
JBurritt innocent from the first. Why ho
•liratvfclt araig glfrfriyUffgy*
■ I should have thought it necessary to in
troduce Dr. Fort’s name, as one who wsa
i present when he said so, I know not
i He and the Doctor have no intercourse;
and yet he seems to think it a matter of
> some importance to have used his name.
• Dr. Fort does not deny that Mr. Grnnt
, land said it in the crowd present—but he
> did not hear it. And it gives no addi
r tional w'eight to his vindication to have
> used the Doctor’s name—nor can any in
- ference be drawn from it favorable to his
cause. Did Mr. Grantland say at that
time, it was a plot to ruin Burrltt and run
him off* Why did he not then offer to
befriend him and become his bail ? How
; unfortunate for him that he did not at
, once act upon this belief, and save Mr.
- Burritt from all the disasters that his con
duct in procuring the pamphlets and cir
f culating them in Georgia, and his subse
( quent elopement have brought upon him!
- What an inexhaustible fund of moral
• courage must Mr. Grantland possess, to
C delay the cause of suffering justice, till he
I could enlist the misfortunes of a lady on
, the side of public feeling, before he could
» venture upon the vindication oftheinno
- cent! What confidence mast he have had
• in the righteousness of the cause he has
I espoused, to attempt to V"* il the indignp
. tion of public opinion upon those wh o
- were laboring for the public good, as hjs
. veryfirst step toward the vindication 0.
; the accused! But says Mr. Grantland.
» there was no evidence that the pamphlets
, passed into improper hands. Was there
- any evidence what had become of them?
• Why did not Mr. Burritt produce the
. four that were missing? Have they all
I ever yet been accounted for ?
But Mr. Bunitt’s guilt or innocence
. had nothing to do with the conduct of
I mysclfand the gentlemen who counselled
i me. The whole facts of the case iqion
. which they acted, are before the public—
. they arc uncontradictcd by Sir. Grant
, land, end incontrovcrtable—and are e
nough to satisfy every unprejudiced mind
of the correctness ami purity of their mo
tives. There is not a gentleman of those
who acted with me, whose character is
. not as far above suspicion at le"st rjj Mr.
Grantland’s. If f.'r. iiurritt had
I friends in M*!!r.’gc'.ine, they w ere t hose
t whose opinions determined my conduct.
. The unfortunate stale of political feeling
. here compels us to select our most confi
, dentinl friends from our own political
. ranks. Was it to be expected, that under
, such a state of things, I should have
assembled those men, who like Mr.Grant
’ bind, never would be friendly with Mr,
Burritt, to puss upon his ease? It is ab
surd. If Mr. Bnrritt hud felt himself in
nocent and secure in the protection oflhe
. laws, he had every reason to be confident
in the purity of its administration. He
. had been twice arraigned and pwke dis
i charged l>efore that •."‘dbi-h of the Judi
. Cln’ry most limited in its power mid jurie
. diction, and this too in the face of public
opinion. No voluntary Prosecutor np
, pea red against him. He remained two
. days and a half in the metropolis after
his return from Augusta, ami no man pri
vately interfered with bis person or bis
business. During that period Mr. Bur
ritt was advised by one of those very
conspirators, os Mr. Grantland will have
them, never to /use sight of the Pamj/hlel affair
—but to face it and give to the world a fair
and public vindication of his conduct, or he was
a ruined man. He wont to the house of'
another of these consiiirators, since deceas
ed, and there scut for me to consult ns to
the prudence of his future course. The
next morning he suddenly disappeared, to
ovoid, (as I was afterwards informed.)
another prosecution, not connected with
the Pamphlets. His departure was as
unexpected to the conspirators, ifnot more
so, than to any other persons. AfU •' his
last discharge, he entered Upon his ordi
nary business, from w hich I had retired,
and with whicli I never again expected to
be connected. At Mr. Burritt’s earnest
request, I went, on the morning of his de
parture, and settlie hands to work in the
ufllce. This I did to oblige him. I then
ceased my connection w ith the busine_, r
of the office, tilt I was put possession
j of it by a gOllt’.eir..,,, who hod a mortgage
I “ ,n h, aiulwbp had for years been suppor
ting Mr. Burritt in his business. This he
did, A this I consented to, for the purpose
• ofsaving (he properly from deterioration.
After I had retired, there was no other
person but the mortgagee who bad a right
of possession. How else was he to se
; cure his rights after Mr. Bnrritfs nban
■ donment ? Was he to lose his lien for
fear of Mr. Grantland’s displeasure.?—
. Burritt’s departure was the effect of his
. own determination. The attempt made
| to arrest him at Augusta, was in conse
quence of a communication, by one of Mr.
, Granllnnd’epolftical fVitllf?'*. to the Atfor
■ ncy General of the State. This course,!
• have no doubt, was dictated to Mr. Tor*
- ranee by the purest regard for the public
s safety and justice. The legal consequen
i ees of Mr. Burritt’s elopement, to his pro
i perty, wore beyond the control of tiny in
i dividual. He knew* what they would he;
- and if he had not thought his personal sc
, canity more important to him than the
• security of his property, he would surely
, have remained to take care of the latter.
I But here Mr. Grantland thinks he ha*, a
most triumphant confirmation of Ids so
- I etna charges. He evades nil my intorroga
i (ions; to which public opinion required cii
; rcct and eatugoricul answers. By are
I* newnl of his groundless imputations he
makes my former conjectures “confirmation
' strong'' as the real motives w hich actuated
- him, ami places them more in the form of
i direct charges against not only myself,
i but the high minded and honorable gen
- tlemcn of both political parties, who act
. od with me. He verifies his own propo
-1 sition, that his “was precisely the course
> which might have been taken by nn a
, droit knave, less honest than Mr.’ Grant
land,to accomplish his foul purpose."
L Whether Mr. G. is entitled to the saving
- clause in the sentence which follow s the
, foregoing in his communication, is for flic
, public, not forme to judge.
t Mr. Grantland felt the force of my for
t met* observation, that the vindication of
• Mr. Burritt did not authorize him to pub
lish an article exclusively impeaching my
integrity. He says that he advised Mrs.
Burritt to “‘say as little us possible of any
[‘ one else which might cause irritation or
■ wound their feelings.” Vet he publishes
the article just as it was sent. And has
subsequently published another infinitely
worse than the first. How then can Mr.
Granthiud expect to get credit for this
sort regard towards the “irritation and
’ wounded feelings'’ of others?
After evading all my interrogations,
which wore designed to do justice to my-
. self and the gentleman concerned, and to
i afford 3lr. Grantland an opportunity of
I doing so to us and to himself, Mr. Grant
; land, with that severity of sarcasm and
f point’ for which he is so remarkable, ex
claims —“Ah! these attachments and this
. sacrifice of property at Sheriffs’ Sale!—
, “Thereby hangs a tale!” But this “laid’
. is as unhappy for Mr. Grantland as Ac
-5 t.con’s. A few words will set it all strait.
! “Beit known then,” to Mr. Grantland,
, that 31 rs. Burritt’s own brother had le
t vied the largest Execution on the proper
, ty. “Be it known” to 31r. Grantland,
, that the sale was postponed fur some
r time by his request. “Be it known” to
t Mr. Grantland that 3lr. Watson bid off
the property, and did not run it up to the
. amount of his own Execution (the oldest
. hut one) by several hundred dollars.—
. “Be it known” to 31r. Grantland, that
! .Mr. Watson transferred his bid to 3lr.
1 Solomon, nl the very price that he had
, given for the property. Who then sacri
. deed it?—if there were any sacrifice. Be
, it known to 3lr. Grantland that Eli S.
I Shorter, Esq. and others, (who hardly
know there is such a thing as a Clark
I Party in Georgia,) are among the princi
; pal attaching Creditors. “Be it knewn”
. fo3lr. Grantland. that the “'subscribers” of
, (he late Statesman & Patriot are not
: subject to levy and sale, like cattle and
f negroes. “Be it known” to 31 r. Grant
land, that their “advertising custom” is
, not subject to levy and sale. “Be it
. known” to 3lr. Grantland that there is a
process recognized by our laws—called
. a garnishment—and that it has been is
-1 sued and served, and time will show
“whom’’ will get the proceeds of the sub
. scription list —(not the ‘'subscribers 1 ') and of
f the “advertising custom,” &c. “Be it
1 known” to Mr. Grantland that the pro
; orictor bought this establishment for the
• '.“Apress purpose of keeping it out of
She hands of Us enemies —and that I
Cake it upon myself t>> say that any gen-
I tlr-mnn who can faithfully represent the
views of its Patrons can have title and
! posses,ion, at any time, for a slim IcSs than
i half #Ri!(fO, g* which Mr. Grantland has
valued it. The proprietor does not now
hold it as a source of profit. His object
. in the purchase was of a much more ele
vated character—the maintenance of our
■ political rights and opinions. And lam
bound to believe that this is the true thorn
in Mr. Grantiand’s side.
Until 3lr. Grantland can disprove, the
facts before the public and prove bis own
accusation. 1 do list li;;;;!; it will be neces
sary forme to say any thing in future. Hi?
ehiefconcernisnovv hisown exculpation.
Mr. Grantland has paid a very delicate
compliment to fair .Tr.t’.ivi-iry/ tic intends,
it seems, to purify our ermine. 'Phis he
appears to think necessary; for says he,
Burritt “ shall have a fair trial, it’l can
got it for him!” Indeed, Mr. Grantland!
Are you serious in the belief that the con
sciences of the Judges mid Jurors of
Georgia require to be passed through
your moral alembic to distill them into
those spiritual essences, so necessary to
the righteous administration of justice?—
If you should he as tardy in the perform
ance of an operation so desirable in your
estimation. a> you have been in bringing
(lie crucible of yom own feelings to a melt
ing hrat, poor Burritt might be tried and
hung before the process is half completed.
That little thing, the Jllhenian, (we wish
we could be justifiable in treating it more
respectfully) has taken the cue in Burritt’s
case. We were unkind enough to look
in his face and shake our pen at him some
time ago—hut he look to his heels, and ran
off complaining so pitifully, that wo have
ever since hod. mercy on him and let him
alone, lie has been since venturing
nearer growling at
our heels—till, finding he was unobserv
ed, he has snapt at us Jrom behind a lady's
cloak.
Ho lias changed grounds only three
times, (as far as our notice of him has
gone) in the Ihirrilt ease. First believ
ing it was the popular side, he highly
apply V.cled oar conduct in (be transaction.
Secondly—Hi 1 vilified ns for having been
connected in business with Burritt.—
Thirdly—lie comes out Bnrritfs advocate,
byway of striker to the Recorder. Per
haps he has seen our statement by this
time. Wonder what the “wee bit thing’
will say to that!
He apologizes in his last for the “infe
riority” of his paper. It would be treating
the public with much more respect to beg
pardon for the inferiority of the matter in it.
If we are not misinformed, Brother Jona
than has entirely mistaken bis genius.—
The retailing of “horn flints and wooden
nutmegs” is thought, by those who have
the honor ol his acquaintance, to be best
suited to the towering splendor of Ids in
tellect *o, a the delicate touches of his
faltcy. But perhaps the creature is not
so much to blame. He is said only to
peddle polities for aim !'(■*■ —and if their stock
will not afford bettor articles—he can’t
help it. He must f ade upon the stock
furnished him.—We therefore sny to the
little fellow—i>, Pshaw! man!— peddle as
much a- you please—crack np your little
policy and . aide your Jersey over the
country. You can only cheat little boys
ami old wcir.cn with your vulgar “no
. lions.”
.Yota Bene.—Brother Jonathan has full li
cence to peddle politics through n!i the
‘‘rotten boroughs ” of Georgia— Provided, lie
, will not take Carpers letter with him.
P. ft. b’-iiirp writing the above, wc have
seen whnt the little thing says ofonr expo
• sition of Bnrritfs ease. St is just wind
wo expected from its character. Mr.
Shaw's Editor, after having expressed
three opinions, now skulks off, and says
he has no opinion on the subject. If ho
had possessed common discernment, ho
would have seen that, for obvious rea
son’s we did not reply to any allegations
made by .Mrs. Burritt touching the facts
of the case. He grossly and (we are
hound to believe) wilfully misquotes and
misrepresents our statements.
To sum up his altitudes in this matter.
First—. Mr. Shaw's editor expressed dee<-
• ded approbation of our conduct—second—
reproached ns for having bad connection
in business with Burritt — third, became
Burritt's advocate under female, protection—
and fourth— after torturing his brain to

Extract of n letter from 3 incenr.es,
(Ind.) ton gentleman in Louisville, Ky.
“I have not beard one intelligent man
of either party who did not approve of
ll.e veto. For my own part, I consider it
the greatest and most glorious act which
Jackson has ever performed, 1 cannot
fell ;/ou how much my heart applauds the
i President for this noble art of dteirtt.rrsV
‘ ed patriotism.”
When Gen. Jackson came into office
he found in the various Departments J.i
seat of Government about 380
s holding office; out of this number ,h ?
. 50 were friendly to his election • [he
, were the decided friends of Messrs a? 1 *
- ams and Clay. About 33 have bconl
- moved. Thus stands, then, the fact • J°l
-of the 330 persons note in office, about ■ln
are friends to the Administration o—
( OPPOSED to it. Is there any
this that looks like proscription, or ah,,!' 1
of power? So far from it, is it , lc . ,^ e
instance of signal liberality? And r
what have the 33 been removed? 't
1 persecute apd punish for opinion’s sc I
No; but because they wore either derC
ters, peculators, disqualified, abusive of a":'
official Junctions, negligent, or mere varti-nl'
retainers of Mr. Clap. With nil due
ference to the opposition, we think the
charges justified their removal and S< *
think the people. ’ b 0
The books of the Treasury represent
several of those persons that have V, P
removed, to be defaulters to Goveri
. for large amounts; which will be
a total loss. And yet the nation is call,. •
on to mourn over the hard fate of tfin *
* persons that have been cruelly r< niovcT
■ and vengeance is demanded on die he! I
' ° e “* . JrtC ! cson for such injustice'!^
I liere is in tide « hardihood in the defence
of crime and a mockery of justice tlm
has no parallel. 1 *
To prove how totally exempt llie p re «
ideal is from that feeling of pre'soriptiom
with which he is charged, we w,j! redato
a fact which is vouched for by on » of tho
oldest and most respectable ojncei'sol tlii
s Government in this city. A ()k-rk iu
