INSURRECTION.
We have extracted from the Charles
ton (S. C.) papers, accounts of the .con
demnation of upwards of seventy ne
groe.j, for an attempt so excite an insur
rection in that state. Os these, many
have been executed. Some are yet to
receive capital punishment, and the ba
lance to be sent out of the United Stptes,
and not to return under the penalty of
death- To this danger, we should feel'
tremblingly alive.—Our black popula
tion is very great—and nothing but con
tinued vigilance, on our part, can serve
as a preventive to the evils which have
so recently threatened pur sister state.
Our patroll laws are generally too I
much neglected. To come nearer
home, in our own town we have much
to fear. We feel confident the Corpo
ration have placed upon their Marshal
more than he can perform. We know
him to be an able, indefatigable, and
energetic officer—but we think no man
is able to patjjjd (as it should be done)
this town every night. In spite of all
his vigilance, great numbers of negroes,
without permits, and many of them
are runaways, are nightly infesting our
streats, drinking and regaling them
selves in tippling houses, in which they
are encouraged, to the great loss of
their owners, and annoyance to the
I community. We hope, therefore, the
Corporation will take the matter seri
ously into consideration, and that with
out delay. Would it not be better to
fake off the patrol tax, and require the
citizens to discharge that duty ? Place
them under the Marshal, and make it
his duty to call them out regularly,
For any abuse of his powers, he is sub
ject to the Boqrd of Commissioners—Or
would it be preferable to hire persons,
with the tax imposed, to act as a watch
or patroj ? Those hints are thrown
out that they may be improved by the
proper authority. It is time to look to
our 02im safety.

Letter to the Editor, dated
August 11,1822,
According to my promise, 1 write
you the news from Athens. Nearly I
two thousand persons from almost every I
part of the State witnessed the Com- I
mencement, at Frynklin College; and •
were much edified by, and gratified with,
the excellent performances of the differ
ent classes of Students. It was a proud
sight, to see so many persons of the first
respectability, with so nntch fashion
atuj beauty collected together, to give
eclat to this interesting institution, and
to cheer the efforts of the rising genera
tion in literary fame. The disposition
to please, and be pleased, seemed to be |
entirely mutual, between those who saw [
and those who acted; between the Stu-'
dentg and the auditory; and the expec- I
rations of neither party were disap
pointed ; the one listened with admira
tion to the satisfactory exercises of the
other, stimulated to the greatest exer
tion by the immense concourse of de
lighted spectators. The citizens of
Georgia may now gratulate themselves
upon the prospect of having an insfitu- ]
tion equal lo any of the same kind in
the United States, and jv>H be po longer
under the necessity of sending their sons
abroad for an education, It long slum
bered in obscurity, and teemed U> be al
most past recovery; hut the trustees
never despaired; and to their persever
ance and the beneficent appropriations
of the Legislature of 1821, is to be at
tributed the resuscitated and invigorat
ed situation of the University of Geor
gia, which will, it is to be hoped, be the
seat of science and literature, hence
forth, and forever.
Only nine persons graduated j but
those who entered the senior class were
much more numerous.
The new edifice is now erecting, and
will soon be so completed as to afford
the necessary accommodation jo the
continually increasing nqmber of Stu
dents.
Many wholesome regulations were
entered into by the Board of Trustees.
The members of it, were continually
engaged in the punctual discharge of
their duties, and among the most zeal
ous and useful of them was the Hon.
W. H.'Crawford, who whilfe upon a, visit
to Georgia, attended with exemplary
industry, during several days.
It must be expected, as the Com
mencement happened immediately be
fore the election for members of Con
gress, where so many influential persons
( 'were collected together, that some elec-
I pioneering should place; but it was
i’only an exchange of opinions, without
■ any regular Caucus, or systematic plan;
. | and It ist-onmrkftble that no candidate
: for any office, has ever been started at
Athens ;.aud in fifoj the Trustees them-
I j selves, who are chargt d generally tvi|h
. | interfering most in matter# of that
really have.jiq lime .to attend to arty
thing Imt tligir official duties.

tendance, front 8 o’clock in the mor-
j ning, until night, during the whole

' NUMBER VI.
The power of appointment pf the
chief state officers, requires an examin
ation in detail, Tlje Legislature have
’ the power of appointing the Governor,
, the Judges of the Superior Courts and
the General Officers-Of the Militia- The
last, hold their commissions for life, un
less removed by sentence of a court mar
tial, or. the vote of two thirds of each
branch of the Legislature. This power
is to be viewed in a threefold light, with
regard to its influence on the electors of
the Legislature. With regard to its influ
ence on the members, & its tendency to
secure in theperson elected, those qualifi
cations "Which are necessary to the sta
tion he is called to fill. It is unques
tionable; that with regard (o tiie two
duties which the members are called
upon to fulfil, that of electors pf a Go
vernor, and that of Legislators for the
people, tlje last is infinitely ihg most
Important. With the powers vested in
pur Governor, he can do but little good or
little harm, except in time of war; and
the good or harm Ije may dp is tempo
rary in its nature, An error in legisla
tion affects all tl)c pcpplp, and operates
in distant ages. Vet it effects may not
be at once perceived, and when perceiv
ed, time may have given the measure a
sanction Whiph it may require a great
effort to overthrow. But it is equally un
questioiiablej that the people take often
a more vivid interest in the election of
their Chief Magistrate, than iri the adop
tion of a whole system of laws. With
regard to the one, every man thinks
hin-self, and perhaps is competent to
judge. With regard to the other, the
people at large are 'satisfied to receive
them from their legislators., and to i udgo
of them only by their effects. They
therefore feel little interest in their pre
vious digpussion. Ip fact, we have late
ly seen in Georgia the whole system of
criminal Jaw changed; (hat system
on which every man depends for the
security of life, liberty and property,
and scarcely as much interest expressed
as in the election of a third lieutenant of
milifia. Scarcely an essay on the sub
ject in the newspapers, and those that
did appear, hardly read. At the last
election for Governor, the whole State
jyas convulsed. It formed the theme
of every tongue, aiuj the thought of eve
ry mind. The papers teemed with at
tack and defence. The best talents of the
State were enlisted on the one side or the
I other. The various essays of tfie respcc-
I live partisans were enquired for, & read
: with the same,avidity as the last news
■ from thefrontiers during the war. What
! then was the question asked at the elec
j tion ground? JNot whether this man be
lor be pot fit to legislate for us;
i but wifi lie vote for Clark or Troup.—
In some of the counties, the personal
esteem in which the candidate was held,
the interest taken in the
choice of the Governor. In such coun
ties, the representative gave a vote dif
| ferent from that which the people would
[ have giv'*n. in others,the election was
i entirely decided by the answer to the
I question of, “who will you vote for as
j Governor?” If it be correct that the
j people should have the man of their
| choice so rule over them, let them choose
him directly, and let them choose their
legislators directly, with a view to their
legislative duties. It is said tfiat the
respective candidates will not be known
] personally to their electors; —it is not
| necessary they sliou|d. A man t° be
raised to such an office, ought to be
known by his acts; by his public ser
vices ; by the excellence of his general
character, The qualities which pro
duce good, will in our personal acquaint
ances, and the qualities which fit a man
for the performance of public duties, are ,
essentially distinct. Where we are per- |
sonally acquainted, we are too apt to
be guided in our votes by the first rather |
than the second. Popular manners
stand in the place of great abilities and f
stern virtues. But the enchantment (
only operates in a narrow circle; with
out that we enquire what has he done,
or what can he do to serve us ? A Wash
ington ora Jefferson, could only be per-L
sonally known to a few; but their yr j
tueg, patriotism and talents, hav
the memory of the ope, and th/™ ca °
the other, dear to the hey'V 0 ' ever y
American throughout wl^e s } )reai * (
Republic. It is l people can (
only judge a pedate by the state
ments of ti of each house,
and that adast, the election will be by (
* p
the legislators, if not by the Legislature.
This is not true to the extent represent
ed. The members of the Legislature
will on this, as in every other popular
election, have great influence; but there
are many others in every country in
whose representations the people have
much confidence. As the Constitution
now stands, the members are the jury
who try the respective candidates.—
Wup the Governor chosen by the peo
ple, they would only be witnesses* and
(1)0 verdict of the country would be
founded op all the evidence wljirh could
l>e produced to them. With regard to
the people, therefore, it woujd he better.
that the office of Elector should not lie
couplpd with that of Legislator, as they
could never be distracted bet wren two
men, one of whom they might prefer as a
Legislator, a ini the other as an Elector.
We are next to examine how this
i power of appointment operates upon
the Legislators themselves. It is all
important in a Republic, that the legis
lative body should not only be pure,
but qbove (suspicion, it is through
the medium of appointments to public
employments, that corruption first
Creeps into a State. Personal vanity ;
personal amhitiop, and personal info
rest, furnish such powerful inducements
to seek such employnicnts.tlmt those w ho
arc to ghooso, are peculiarly exposed
to (he operation ol seductive motives.
Ido not mean gross corruption, sueh us
the giving or receiving of a bribe for a
vote. Personal partialities,and personal
dislikes, will, and do operate powerfully
on the mind# of the members of §o nu
merous a body as the General Assem
bly. A door is opened for intrigue and
undue influence among the members.—
Support this man for Governor, Judge,
etc. and his friends will support you for
Congress, for General, or something
else. V otes are exchanged. Vote for my
friend, and I will vote for your’s: or
vote for my friend, and 1 will suppm t
that measure you are anxious about.—
Parties arc forjned; the bojd becojne
violent; the timid dissemble. The
Legislators mutually hate, despise or
doubt each other; and in this temper of
mind t|iey are calmly to enquire into,
and decide upon those laws which may
best promote the public weal. May it
not sometimes happen,that a wise mea
sure must be thwiirted because the indi
vidual who brings it forward is obnoxi
ous tp the prevailing parly; or a bad
pleasure carried thrqqgh, lest its defeat
should be a triumph to an opponent. —
I do not think that this will be consider
ed q fancy picture in any of those Stales
where the electoral power is in the Le
gislature. Its effects on the Legislators
can only be conceived by those who
have witnessed them. Were it only to
[preserve the purity of the Legislature., 1
Vould take from them the corruptive
jiower, One good effect it lias, and Imt
one. The excitement ol’an election often
draws talents into the Legislature which
it would not otherwise possess, anil
whep there, they mgy be applied to re
ally useful purposes.
With regard to its tendency to pro
cure (he appointment of men duly qual
ified for tiie stations they seek, I shall
be very brief.—The members of the
General Assembly would, if they voted
openly, render the individual responsi
bility of each member for his vote but
Uttle. The vote by ballot takes it away
altogether. Public opinion can have
little or no control in such cases. Most
yotc according to their private feelings
towards the individual candidates, ai\d
the greatest efforts must be made not to
discharge the duties of the office cor
rectly, but to cultivate the good will of
the members. Convivial talents are of
great use, and a good song may secure a
vote where good conduct will not.—
Those minor morals, easy and pojifo
manners, a social temper, and cheerful
; and gay disposition, which constitute
the delight of private life, are the step
ping stones of political ambition. We
laugh when we are told that the Duke
de Richelieu was made the leader of ar
mies, because he made the best bow in
France; or that Sir Christopher Hatton
received an important embassy in con
sequence of his skill in dancing. But
may not our Republican employments
be sometimes conferred upon men on
account ofqualities which are as far apart
from their duties, as the .General’s flex
ibility of spine, or the Ambassador’s
lightness of heel. It is natural for men
to suppose, tlfot in conferring a much
valued station, they are conferring a fa
vor, and we are very apt to confer favors
qn those we like best. 1 vote for my
friend, let who will oppose him, is the
avowed principle. But your oatli and
duty binds you to vote in such a manner
as may best promote the interest of the
State. “ Oh, I always think my
the best qualified.” I bis anstjp*'“ I‘iy 1 ‘ i y
be true, but it only shewsfig** 1 l )OWer
so liable to abuse in such ipmds, should
lie vested in others to / <*™°fo a greater,
degree of persona* is at
tacked for it»e* erc jsc- God forbid that
these remW* 8 should apply to all or
even tlu»£ rea - ter P art °f our legislators.
