It is not my intention to bewilder
my readers in the labyrinths of me
taphysical research, to deceive them
with promises, and blind them with
sophistry. A few plain facts, and
rational deductions shall compose
the present essay. The Argus, has
for some weeks past, teemed with a-
base against the public and private
character of Major Clark. His e-
ncmies forgetful of the sacred maxim
“ Tread lightly upon the ashes of the
dead” have called his father from
his peaceful mansion, to prove the
Major a violator of the constitution.
Analizcr here touched a string, in e-
very sympathetic bosom, that vibrates
to the slightest touch. The faults
of this venerable old mart are known
to the citizens of Georgia, as well as
to Analizcr. With them they are
lost in the remembrance of his meri
torious acts—Charity covers them
with her mantle—candor heaves a
sigh when relating them, and gra
titude drops a tear to wipe them a-
way. Neither the challenges of o-
then, nor the evidence deduced Can

Milledgeville, March 20. 21—tf
is well known, that Major Clark
was not more than fourteen, when
this letter from him to his father i
said to have been intercepted. Na
tural affection would prompt a hoy
of that age to approbate the actions
of a parent, when his judgment was
neither matured by age, nor strength
ened hy cultivation—when he must
have been ignorant of the constituti
on, and its sacred nature. This is
admitting Major C. to be the writer
of this letter, which is giving up
more than can perhaps ever be pro
ven. The present scrutiny into the
conduct of a candidate for office, is
scarcely paralleled by any upon earth
The services of Major Clark were,
without his solicitation, in the case
of the fractional selling commission
ers, rewarded with $100 by the Le
gislature. This is adduced to prove
his acts of violation upon the Consti
tution. The Legislature very pro
perly consired this prosecution as ex
tra-official, and granted to Mr. For
sythe and Major Clarke each, SlOO
- with their thanks for important servi
ces rendered by these gentlemen.

The expulsion of the Turks from
Europe has been considered with
enthusiasm hv European nations.—
While a desire has been encouraged
to extend the Christian religion in
the east, it has been deemed shame
ful that the greater part of the Chris
tian world should be oppressed in
the west, without any relief from
their Christian brethren. But while
the policy of Ecclesiastics could not
reach the sword, the advantages to
commerce from the expulsion of the
Turks have been contemplated with
all the zeal of mercantile speculati
on. It has been left, however, tO
ambition of power to accomplish this
work, and it is not improbable that it
may be atchieved. Soon after the
peace of 1783, many publications ap
peared upon this sulked. Mr. Vol-
ney made a general statement which
deserved the public notice, and ex
cited great attention. We give the
outline in the words of his translati
on. “ Since Solyman the second,
who, hy his wise regulations and or
dinances, more than by his victories,
confirmed the Turkish power, we
can scarcely, in a list of seventeen
monarchs, find one rising above mc-
dioctity, hut almost all intemperate
madmen, like AmuretlV. or effemi
nate, pusillanimous wretches, such as
Soli man III. This contrast is ea
sily explained because it naturally a-
rose from the different Situation of
their affairs. When the Sultatis liv-
::d in camps, agitated by the immense
whirlwind of weighty concerns which
surrounded them, by projects of war
and conquest, hy a continued variety
of difficulties and success, and even
by the necessity of keeping a watch
ful e ve aver the companions of their
labours, their minds became as ex
panded as their career, their passions
noble as their pursuits, and their ad
ministration vigorous as their char
acter : when on the contrary, they*
began to shut themselves up in their
seraglios, benumbed by their indo
lence, satiated even to apathy, and
depraved by the flattery of a slavish
court, their inclinations were vilified
by their habits, and their government
grew as vicious as themselves. When
tile Sultans held the reins of govern-
inent in their own bands, their per
sonal wishes led them to take a warnt
interest in the prosperity of their em
pire ; but the moment they entrusted
them to mercenary substitutes, unac
quainted with the operations, thCy
separated their own fronGhe JxfhVic
interest.” But while ilMs ingenious
writer discovered a confidence in tho
abilities of Russia to humble t!?>j pow
er of Turkey, men were to be found
who considered the exchange o r the
power of Turkey for that of Russia,
as promising no blessings to Europe*
In a reply it was said. What is Rus
sia, whose legislative wisdom is td
enlighten the ignorant Turks ? A
nation scarcely half emerged from
that cloud of barbarism and igno
rance, which covered the chief of ita
territories at the begiuing-of the pre
sent century. Even at this day,
where are we to find in the md&t un
civilized part of the Turkish domi
nions, more profound ignorance,
more savage barbarism, than amongst
the inhabitants of Russian Lapland,
Siberia and Kamschatka ? Unable to
introduce the arts of civilization into
its own dominions, can it hope sue*
cess with strangers, adverse to the
Russian name, adverse to its religi
on ? But this plea is rather against
the instrument of the change, th in the
change itself. The Minerva of Ber
lin, will inform us that the subject
was contemplated in that capital >v
