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 ^tljffiff’d &alcsi.

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.

Was it to seethe certificate oFa man produced to prove his on assertion i [ say his own assertion, for no man who has read Analizer No. 2. can be ignorant of the real author. Do they suppose that the declarations! 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
