THE EMBARGO.
A Corni-Tragic Farce .
• CENE IN AUGUSTA.
Independent —The times require it, amt
we (hall hit them—they are afraid of us,
and if they be not, they (hall be—indepen
dent of us, they cannot live— true, they
gave ui birth ; but wc nurftd and racked
nurfelves into manhoad /—now that we arc
firmly an our legs , wc (ball fee whether the
powers of Europe can do better without us
than we can do without them.
Home/fun —I'ii vote for what you fay j
right or wrong—but wrong it cannot be.
1 Tpcnt the prime of my life in fighting for
Independence, the middle in railing co ton,
and during the latter part, I (hall weave it
out to the end, foontr than they (hould ira.
pose on us.
Slyboots —And pray, gentlemen, if you
goon at this rate, what will become of the
rising generation ? No muslins for the girls!
No uppity tips for the young men 1 Foreign
customers will be starved out, and ws our.
fclves go naked I I feel indignant at this
change, which is likely to take place in
our manners and fadiions.
Hamefpnn —Tarnation take your manners
and falhions—you do not speak like a trus
born American—we can covet oar girls
witlvhomcfpun; End if they do not like
that, they may go without—Our uppity.
whips t as you cali them, may ride about in'
Shame, me , and when they wear that out,
they may go and fight far fun or any thing
elfc they please.
Major Cotton —l (hall back you there
fir—lt is true bagging is become too high
f*r our cotton, which is too low ; but no
matter, we can (land it, and give cur ene
mies boots —We can make our own bagging,
if put to it, and ram the entire wool ot
Georgia into our ewn pockets.
Mfs Jenny— To be sure weean ; cotton,
wool, pluck, horns, and all. I never knew
any man, foreign or native born, 1 am
afraid of, or would turn my back to, at the
loom, spindle, (buttle, or any thing clfe that
a girl can do,
Mrs. Pullet— Why I guess, Mlfs Jenny,
you are too rapid—l have railed close upon
one hundred pullet* and chicken cocks, this
year, with my own hands, and I could never
think of being so loud as you arc ; but as.
ter all my trouble, no par/an will give sn«
wore than one quarter of a dollar for my
pippl iy hens—and as to my chicken cocks,
they rejeft them as being old rootters—curfc
this general Bargo and all other generals,
who will nor go straight.
Jenny— So fays I, but you will want
fomc of my (tuff, and now you may buy a
piece cheap by the yard;
Mrs. Pullet —l dont buy pieces by the
yard, I buys them by wholJale—But I have
to dispose of my rGoiters sirs good bye.
Silgger—Why then what a (Itange goose
of a rootter that fame Pullet mull be ; (he
•v'tl not buy by the yard or any other wavs
or measures, but by the oldfales ! It is one
truth however, that (Ire gave me a great
bargain last fall in cnc dozen es eggs, and
that was that they were right quite frclh,
having every mother foul of the dozen., a
chicken in it! and the other, that is the
dirteenlh , to make up the dozen, had noth
ing at all in it but what you call odd or ad
dled', I dont know how you pronounce it
on your tongue.
Rond lam— G—d d—n your tongue, you
outlandifti Brogancer 1 whoever knew any
body but your own felf to befuch a bother,
um ! So cut of 13 you make a dozen of
eggs, aye ! and put frcfii chickens into them
fcefides— that is i,6 to the dozen ! Go to
school. If you were born where I was,
you might have half a scare to the dozen,
without any thing in them but the (halls,
and axe them no adze.
Pigntck— Sacre blew—thefc peoples he
fame one fools, v hr. do not know one egg
from another, and cannot dillinguilh ore
(hell from his brother I Now I ttke it
that they are all is no bo
dy, Rsudlant is no body— they hare no one
idea of the grand projects that have been
fimfh’.d, and are now to begin, Sur le grand
I hen (re du monoe,
Draper —Confound these blundering fal
lows j they are enough to make me run cra
zy. It would appear that they ha vc no idea
how splendid wc Irvc at their expeoce—true,
we co.idefc.end to work and manufacture
their raw nw.icriols for them, and fend 'um
back neatly put up, they paying 3or 400
per cent only for our attention and trouble—
hut such is the ingratitude of mankind !
and thef tyankees aie a (Iriking inflance of
it—now let um go to work, it they dare,
and I'll bet you a mug of brownfiout, that
they will not do it in so (hort a time—no;
nut by one hundred years.
Raudlam —You fay so! Now lookee,
1 what a gout ot 2 fool of a John Ball you
1 mdit bd Dmt you know uiat we have
I every thing here ia our own hands, and that
\ j do not get it, you will not have it;
.mrnnmmu —■ , ■«,— ■1 , jjj , ~
s and that if you cannot have it you cannot
work it} and if you do not work if, w«
(hall not have it again j and if you havent
it, we cannot wear it; and if we cannot
wear it, we must go without; and if we
[ ean go without it, you may go be d-n-d—
-there is found logic for you,
Tobacco-~Yim\ the flent to top t

j h an^s —there now is 6or 7 dollars given in
Savannah for this precious weed, while in
the city of Augusta, no ope merchant, tho*
he may •wind up the next day, will offer
me more than three, and hardly that I these
are hard tiroes, to be sure.

Mtfofter with me, though 1 have so many
bags oh hand, that were snugly packed with
i Jione in tht middle and a fail of water
thrown ever every layer to aid the f aching
machine . *
Roudlam— Pon my fowl you feera to
trade very nicely between you, with your
Jlcmt and flerns— Your planet and fails of
•wafer, to make every thing go light , no
doubt. Now, funpofe, rs one would fay,
