Important Land Claim. —The follow
ing paragraph, from the Schoharie Re
publican of Wednesday, is the first and
only intimation we have had, that such
and claim is In existence. If true, those
quarrelsome persons, James Jackson
and John Stiles, who have been con
cerned in every ejectment suit since the
establishment of the Common Law, will
probably have warm work during the
next dog-days:
“A gentleman from Albany, (an old
acquaintance of ours) gives us the fol
lowing particulars of a claim, which cer
tain individuals are about to make for
fourteen acres of land, lying in the city
of New York! Wc tell the story as it
was told us. When the great city which
is now the Commercial Emporium ol
the United States was in its infancy,
scarcely as large as the village of Bath,
opposite Albany, an old lady, whose
name we are not at liberty to mention,
but which can be found by consulting
Knickerbocker’s History, owned several
acres of land on which the city now
stands, fourteen of which she leased to
the Trustees or other officers of a cer
tain Church, for a definite tPrm of years.
It now appears that the term for which
this property was leased, expired some
two or three years since, and that the
original deed by which the old lady held
the land, and the lease of the same land
to the trustees, are preserved, and in the
possession of her heirs. Our informant
states tiiat several of the first legal gen
tlemen in the State have been consult
ed on the subject, and that measures
will soon be taken by the heirs to test
the validity of their claim.”

Gulden Opinions. —The follow ing are
extracts of a letter received by a mem
ber of Congress from North Carolina,
from a respectable farmer, among bis
constituents,whose standing gives weight
to his opinions:
Apnti 7lh, 1828.
“ We have lately discovered that ottr j
country abounds in Gold, more partic
ularly the county of Guilford. Our hint
ridges have gold dust, more or less.—
Some are worth working, others are
not; hut it appears that there is, in eve
ry neighborhood where the white and
yellow flint abounds, gold dust. I have
seen several grains of gold, found in
Orange There are, at this time, fif
‘ecu or twenty hands working in the
j lower edge of Guilford county, at a
1 gold mine on the laud of Moses Gibson.
An extensive Coppermine is discovered
in Chatham county, south ot Greensbo
rougli, in Guilford. There is more la
bor done at gold mines, than on many
farms.
“ Our eommon farmers in the upper
counties are doing nothing, or, in other
words, they are starving. This is not a
wheat country, and if it wa, the car
riage of flour would destroy itself. The
bottoms, on their rivers and creeks, are
only good for corn and rye. My opinion
is, ihut this country wf*., intended by the
God of Nature 4o he a stock country :
this part of North Carolina could keep
pace with any State of the same size,
in raising sheep : a hale of wool would
hear carriage. The Brushy Mountains
in Surry, Wilkes and Burke counties
would furnish pastures for many thou
sand head of sheep, and if our sturdy
men of capital would turn tjieir atten
tion to the establishing of manufactories,
instead of making their sons land or
slave speculators, At. At., it would add
much to the morality and industry of
our country, and stop the tide of emi
gration to the North and West. 1 hope
th? rw.tt region of gold to be discovered
by the North Carolinians, will be the
employment of many shepherds mi the
Brushy Mountains, and od*er places at
tending large flocks of sheep. lam not
entirely alone in this hope; we have a
few men in North Carolina tlmt have
not the same kind of eyes as the Gov
ernor of Virginia. When I sec bales of
wool, as weli as cotton, in the markets
of North Carolina, I shall think that
we are travelling in the right path. 1
think such steps ought to be pursued in
Congress, as will, in the end, encour
age the raising ol hemp and wool.—
North Carolina is poor, as regard* her
navigation, but rich with her internal
resources and advantages; with a soil
and climate friendly to the raising ot
corn, peas, potatoes, rich, cotton, to
bacco, rye, and wheat, and all other
grains, with wool and hemp, although
more moderate for hemp; with her
mines of gold, copper, and icon, and
many other things of great value, she
may, at some day, vie in prosperity with
the wealthiest States in the Union.—
From the above broken hints, yon may
discover my opinion of internal im
provements.”

should be. iu hand on Friday, at least as

Cotton Market. —The last Savannah
Papers state that there has been a fair
business done in the article during the
past week—fair to prime has sold from
9 1-8 to 10 1-2. The last mail from
that place announces a small improve
ment iti the market, but no rise in the
pi ices.
In this place it is selling from 8 to 9
cents.
Macon Reserve. —The survey of this
Reserve will be completed to-day, afr-r
incessant and persevering attention to
it, for four months. The sale of the
land adjoining and lots in Macon, will,
necessarily, be deferred, for some time,
to avoid any interference with the sales
at Columbus.
CA.XnTOATF.S for coxoress.
We perceive, from different prints in
this state, that the following gentlemen ■
are announced us candidates for Con
gress, viz :
Col. Tattnall, Os Savannah.
Judge Wuyne, do.
T. L . P. Charlton, do.
Col. Jt. L. Gamble, Jefferson.
Col. Tho. Foster, Greene. .
Maj. Mcrriwether, Clarke.
Dr. C. Williamson, Baldwin.
None of the present representation
have been announced for re-election—
though we may, doubtless, calculate on a
tender of the services of some of them,
which, with others, that are anticipated,
will considerably increase the competi
tion. We would readily acquiesce in
the re-election of several of our present
j delegation, and will cheerfully support
I some of the names now before the pub
j lie—but none more readily than Al
rttiiD Cuthbf.rt, Esquire, whose prin
ciples, talents, and general character,
peculiarly qualify him for a station, to
which many of in* fellow-citizens have,
and v.e believe wottid, continue to award
to hiui. We have not yet heard that Mr.
Cuthbert is, but we hope, will be a can
didate.
Although we recognise the principle
o! selecting the ablest and most deserv
ing characters, to represent the state, in
whatever part of it they may reside, yet
we cannot admit, that particular secti jns
are deficient in characters of necessary
qualifications. It is remarkable that no
candidate is vet named, who resides
South or West of the Ocmulgee—a
section, equal in extent and population
to nearly one-half of the stale ! Is it,
that we, in tho “ bark woods” are
modestly retiring,” or, that others,
“ forwardly advance ?”
‘Medical —lt appears from the Da
rien Gazette that the dignity of our
State is to be maintained, and that our
citizens are to receive light (in place
of that mental darkness with w hich they
have long been enthralled, and to which
they bate stubbornly adhered) by the
[ physic presented in the following para
graph :
“As we have all along predicted,
Georgia will maintain her dignity, and
come out in favor of the administration
after all. AVe learn that an Adams’
press is starting into operation at Alil
iedgeviiie, another in Savannah, and
who would have thought it ? we hear of
another about to branch out inWaynes
ville. We congratulate, most sincerely,
our fellow citizens, on their recovery
from darkness to light”
We have received a Copy of the mes
sage of the President, transmitting the
information called for by a resolution,
in relation to charges preferred against
the Agent of the United States in the
Creek nation since January Ist, 1826.
The pamphlet contains, first a series
of charges made against the Agent by
Little Prince and other Indians, w ith a
request for his removal from office, all
forwarded by John Ridge. Then comes
a recantation and wiih-drawul of the
principal charges and a modification of
the remainder before Lieut. Vinton.—
Then a re-assertion of the same charges,
with the addition of some new ones.
The pamphlet closes with the evidence
collected by the Agent to disprove the
charges, and the report of Mr. McKen
ney thereon. Mr. McKenney thus con
cludes his report.
“ All which is respectfully submitted,
with a recommendation that a letter be
addressed to the. agent, acquitting him
of all the charges; and another to John
Ridge, informing him that the state
ments presented by him in the form of
charges, against the Creek Agent, and
signed by the chiefs, the Department
has satisfied itself are false; that he is
proven to be a mischievous and med
dling fellow, and that, henceforth, no
communication will be received by the
Department in which he has had any
agency.”— Journal .
FROM THF. MILLEDGEVILLE RECORDER.
The scheme of the Northern Manu
facturers for the total exclusion of for
eign fabrics, to afford them an oppor
tunity of selling at large profits the arti
cles manufactured by themselves is mo
destly named the American System —a
much more appropriate name for it
would be the Fraudulent System —as it
can operate in no Other way than to
take from the Southern planters the lit
tle money remaining among tlrm, and
put it into the pockets of the Northern
capitalists, whose funds are ve-ted in
manufacturing establishments —to make
the poor poorer; and the rich, tidier.—
If this plan be persisted in by our Nor
thern brethren, as we have every reason
to believ eit will be, what course is left
to us but to resort to the family manu
facture of every article w ithin our power
—to tun our ow n leather and make our
ow n shoes; to spin and weave our negro
clothing, and a part ii not the whole of
the and rilling necessary for the whites?—
This perhaps, under more favorable cir
cumstances, would r.o.t be an an” ?<• pg ‘
I icy—but cur pride, as well as our ir>',er-l
est, should induce us to set our faces
sternly against the use of articles which
are attempted to be forced upon us.—
Oppression, whether it proceed from Old
England or jVrtc England, is opfkf.s
sio.n still, and should be resisted in such
way as it can be done w ithout injury to
ourselves. We are almost prepared to
join Mr. Randolph tn his solemn decla
ration against the. uae of any and avery
article produced at the Eastward.
With a little exertion the people of
this State can furnish with themselves
all the necessaries of life and some of
its litruriet. Many of the superfluities
in which we have indulged ourselves are
not indispensable to our comfort, and
can very well be dispensed with, if our
pride will consent—such as costly appar
el, consisting of fine cloths, linen*, and
silks; expensive furniture, carriages,
Ac. &c. Whenever tlm experiment is
fairly made, it will be found, if we are
not greatly deceived, that no people can
with more safety rely on their own re
sources than those of the South.
The subjoined article from a paper
published in the State of Maine, con
tains sound doctrine on the subject of
forcing manufactures in this country,
and such as is not often found in the pa
pers from that section of the United
States.
FROM THU PORTLAND AROU9.
Tke American System. —There is
sometimes a charm in a name that con
ceals from the understanding of those
who are not accustomed to dose and cri
tical investigations, the nature and qual
ity of the thing to which it is applied.—
Hence the artifice, of designing men
in giving to their own selfish pro
jects some popular and taking ap
pell. ‘ion. The party in this country
who have devised the scheme of taxing
the community at large for the benefit
of manufactures, have with this view
given their project the pl ausible name of
the American System. The truth is that
this is nothing more titan the English !
system transplanted to America. The 1
system of forcing manufactures by high J
duties and absolute exclusion has long
been practised in England. The effect j
there has been to enrich the few and
impoverish the many. In no part of the
world are the rich so rich as in England,
and in no part of the world are the po#r
so poor. This has been the natural re
sult of their political system, which we
are now urged by the manufacturers to
follow. The inevitable effect of the
system is to concentrate all the wealth
of the country in the hands of a very
small portion of the population. We
have now lying before us an article in
the 03d number of the Edinburgh Re
view on taxation and retrenchment, from
which we request the attention of our
readers, as it bears directly on this sub
ject.
“ A considerable diminution might
certainly be effected in the cost of the
army, amounting at present to upwards
of eight millions a year. But, we in
cline to think that this diminution ought
rather to be effected by gradually w ith
drawing tl.e troops from the colonics,
some of which ought to be abandoned,
than by disbanding any portion of those
that now form the peace establishment
of Great Biitain and Ireland. It isheld
by many, to who*” opinion on such sub
jects. She greatest deference Ls due, to be
very doubtful whether there are at pres
ent any considerable number of supernu
merary soldiers in this country. And it is
clear that, in the peculiar circumstances
under w hich Great Britain is placed,
with an immense manufacturing popu
lation congregated fat; large masses, li
able to be suddenly thrown out of em
ployment, and exjKjsed to every sort of
privation, a powerful military force is
indispensable, for preserving the peace
of the country, and giving confidence to
the owners of propeity. Had it not
heen for the activity with which troops
were poured into Lancashire, on the
breaking out of riots there in the sprinc
of 1826, it is impossible to say how much
property might have been destroyed; and
should a suspicion ever get abroad, that
the public force was inadequate effectu
ally to guarantee the security of proper
ty, there would be an end of our superi
ority, and the arts and wealth of Brit
ain w ould speedily be some the property
others.”
Is there any thing so very seducing in
this picture that we should wish to see
the same state of things transferred to
America ? Here we have it avowed in
direct terms, in a journal strongly at
tached to liberal principles of govern
ment, that it is necessary for thesafety of
the country to keep on foot a strong
standing army to protect the holders of
property, against the laboring classes,
that is to keep the people in subjection.
This simple fact, thus openly avowed,
and which all know to be true, is worth
a wagon load of AT. Mallary’s speeches.
The system in England has come to this
that a standing army is necessary to
hold the people in subjection! arid noth
ing short of that, and rigorously prohi
biting the people from keeping arms.pm
vents at this time, a resolution in Eng
land, that would sweep from the coun
try every vestage of its splendid esta
blishments.
A letter from Washington, published
in the New York Commercial Adverti
ser, says, “ The grounds on which the
President placed the nomination of
Gen. M’Comb, are briefly these. The
urtny being small and promotion slow, it
was thought it would be discouraging to
the officers to take a Maj. General from
civil life. It being determined then to
nominate an officer of the army, the
President looked only to seniority of
rank to direct bis choice. Gen. Macontb
is the oldest officer. His first commiss
ion, of Lieutenant, is prior in date, by
several years, to that of any other officer
in the army. He was appointed Briga
dier General 011 the 21th of January,
1811, some weeks before Gerrs. Gaines
and Scott were appointed Brigadier
Generals. He was made Major General
by brevet, on the lltli of September,
1811. immediately after the battle of
Plattsburg, in which be was so highly
distinguished. Generals Gaines and
Scott were, it is trde, brevetted as Ala
jor Generals a few weeks before Gen.
M’Gomb; but brew t* do not take pre
cedence of other rank after the grade of
Colonel. When fh* new establishment, I
after the war, was formed. General
Jackson retiied: General Brown was
made Major General, xod General
M’Ccßib, the next in rank, was offered
cither the office’ of Chief of the Engi
neer Corps, or Brigadier Ge ual. He
chose the former—reserving to himself,
however, all his rights of rank. In
points of qualification; and men's, it is
not doubted that General M-Comb is
equal to any other officer of the army.
Morgan up the Missouri. —This noted
devoted victim to the sacred order Jot

months has undergone more tmsmigra
tionsthan ever Indar did—who has been
buried in hollow stumps, and afterwards
found lying most uncomfortably on the
banks of Lake Erie—who has been the

—who has alternately excited the curi
osity, sympathy, and astonishment of
the world, has, at last, much against his
will, been identified residing among the
Gegagaga tribe of Indians, about two
hundred and twenty miles up the Mis

one of the returning emigrating half
breed Indians, who gained his informa
tion while in Arkansas, from a person
who had been travelling up that river
upon a fur hunting expedition, and who
was well acquainted with Morgan from
boyhood. This hunter of furs states,
that Morgan is a principal chief in the
tribe ; has married the daughter of the
old King Gcgngaga, (all the kings bear
ing that name:) rnd is known among
them as Ilomenechleco, or the white
warrior. Every endeavor was used to
induce his return, and every art r< sort

means he had arrived at his ihen abode;
but he resisted both art and entreaty,

By last night’s mail Liverpool ac

telligence that hostilities will probably
soon take place between Russia ar.d the

the last date, crossed the Froth, (the
boundary between Russia and Turkey)
but it was expected soon to take place.
The Russians are yet single-handed in
their operations, although extensive war
like operations appear to be going on
in England and P rance. W hat course
these countries ar.d Austria will pursue,
is yet unknown, and remains a matter of
much doubt. Hostilities had again
commenced between Russia and Persia,
Considerable disturbances have hern
created in Portugal by Don Miguel, the
regent of that kingdom. The presence
of British troops, and a slept at Lisbon,
it was believed, were the only obstacles
that prevented him from declaring him

the disturbance, but to aid in overthrow*

TO MR. MATIIEW ROBERTSON,
Sir ;
IN my Card, lately addressed to.you,
through the medium of the Macon
papers my charge was direct, plain and
positive, viz. that Jacob Johnson, the
undertaker of the Tobesaufky causeway,
had stated to me that he had (your)
Mathew Robertson's (a Justice of the
Inferior Court of Bibb county) permis
sion to substitute puncheons instead of
inch and an half Sawed plank, and this
too after the same had been let out ac
cording to law—and bond and security
given: and that when I charged you
Mathew Robertson with the same, you
had the candor to acknowledge it, (I
hope therefore no ambiguity of my
meaning will in future be misunderstood
by you.) You have taken the liberty
to state to the public that I am guilty of
a “ downright falsehood.” The public
after reading the subjoined conversa
tion, and certificate of Mr. VYhitton
Keath, will judge for themselves.
The following is a statement, in sub
stance of a conversation which took
place on Monday last, between Jacob
Johnson and myself:
Question, to Johnson —Did not you
have permission of the Court to put
puncheons over the bridges in the lieu
of sawed plank ?
Answer by Johnson —l did.
Q. Did you get permission from any
person but Robertson ?
A. I did not, as 1 recollect.
Q. Did not you apply to M. Robert
son to substitute puncheons over the
bridges in lieu of plank, and what was
his answer !
.4. I did apply to M. Robertson and
him alone to substitute puncheons in
hen of plank, and stated to him 1
thought it would answer as good a pur
pose or be equally as serviceable as
plank, to which he gave his assent, and
observed, in his opinion it would an
swer and be as durable as plank.
The above was acknowledged in the
counting room of Messrs, Kimberly
; Chisholm, by the said Johson, in the
presence of ux.

Macon, M..y 5, 1828.
GEORGIA—Ri’ii County.
_ l l certify, that bein” called on by Mr.
r. Lundy, that on the morning of the
same day that the Inferior Court of said
county granted an order in favor of
Doctor Robert Collins, for a Turnpike
over Tobesaufky causeway, that I went
in company with Thomas Lundy to
Macon, and understanding that such
order had passed, Air. Lundy and mv
sclf, after getting the Court together
with the hopes of their recinding the
same, I then heard Mr. Lundy directly
charged .Mr. M. Robertson as being, in
a great measure the cause of the then
had state of ilte'causeway, for that Ja
cob Johnson had stated to him, Lundy,
that Mathew Robertson one o r the Jus
tices of the Court as aforesaid, had giv
en him, Johnson, permission to substi
tute puncheons instead of plank over
the bridges of said causeway; I then
heard M. Robertson reply, 1 must take
that to myself, for 1 believe I did.
I then myself observed, that this was
taking the contract out of the hands of
the Commissioners and acting upon it
himself. WHITTON KEATH.
May 8, 1828.
Now Sir, after these statements what
are the public to think of your veracity?
What is it, Mr. Mathew Robertson, t
that has raised up your indignation'so
high as to have brought up my name be
fore the public. I will ask that body
nndidly to determine—see jf they can
solve the cause. It certainly could not
he the piede called the “Tobesaufky
Declaration of Independence,” for that
piece is respectfully addressed—and
states facts that you have never attempt
ed to controvert.
The Court passed an order, granting
to an individual the exclusive privilege
of erecting a turnpike over the Tobe
sausfky causewav and to receive toll for
twelve years. The Commissioners for
themselves, and in right of the people
at largev contended this was illegal, this
causeway has been thus far erected by
considerable sums of money from indi
viduals by w-.y of donation—not fer a
turnpike, but for a free pass way—and
the Commissioners having been duly
appointed and never dismissed. It be
came their indispensable duty, in their
opinion, to remonstrate against the in
vasion of their rights. This then is the
“ head and front of their offending !”
IV ill it then be contended that this
should authorize you to become the
public abuser of Individuals? I think not.
I have endeavored to view the whole
publications, pro and con, with calm
uess, and have finally made up rny
opinion—that you M. Robertson must
be by nature a man of extreme BAD
HEART ! and that in my opinion, you
Mathew Robertson, are a bust prevarica
tor, columniafor and liar—and as sui h,
I take my final leave of you
