adopted during the sessi

His Majesty thanks the house oi

His Majesty next congratulates
both houses o‘i parliament that Por
tugal has been rescued from the
grasp of the enemy by the strenuous
efforts of his majesty’s army, aided
by ti c exertions of the Portuguese

ing the many reverses of fortune she
has experienced, still maintains her
resistance to the invader with an un

it equally for the honor of his crown

ti animity and concord, with obedi

only means of enabling his majesty to
give effect to his exertions in the con
certified relative to this conversation
as well as every other man who was
present, to say, whether in the whole
of it a single sentiment in approbation
ot the doctrine, escaped Major Clark:
Did he say that such a principle, was
just, right, equitable, or proper ? Or
did he only state, (which was the
tact) the English law on the subject,
superadding thereto the decision oi
Chief Justice Ellsworth, in our own
country ? I believe that I am inti
mately acquainted with Maj. dark’s
political sentiments, and the right ol
expatriation with various other prin
ciples has occasionally been the sub
ject of discussion between us. As
often as it lias, he has been explicit,
uniform, and consistent. The Bri
tish doctrine of allegiance he believes
to be incompatible with the genius
and spirit of the American govern-
many well-meaning people, that the\

timate ot household manufactures
they give in. Such should be inform-
d that their lears are groundless.
We have been in the habit of im
porting from Foreign countries large
supplies ol articles of their manufac
ture ; and an opinion seems to pre
vail, not only in those countries, but
also among many citizens of the U-
njted States, that we cannot do well
without the importation of such arti
cles. Those countries supposing we
will suffer every indignity rathei
than lorego commercial intercourse
with them, have not ceased to violate
our neutral rights ; capture, seques
ter, confiscate and burn on the high
seas our vessels, and imprison, im
press and murder our seamen. It
is the design of Congress by a lair
exposition of our domestic manu
factures, not only to correct these
false notions, but also to find out the
most eligible sites for the establish
ment of Manufactories in different
parts of the union.
In the accomplishment of a design
so important every citizen is inter

His request was granted from aeon

Thompson and Putnam was called

On Saturday evening, however, pre
vious to my coining away, which
was the evening following, one of the
ninisters made rne unhappy in his
preaching, by , casting the following
uncharitable reflections upon the
Christian Society. He said lie had
iately read a pamphlet written by
one Stone, which denied the divinity
of Jesus Christ ; and he also said if
these people enereased as they had
lone, vital religion would bo extinct
in fifty years from this time ; and for
!iis part he had rather be in union &
fellowship with Mahometans than
with them. He said there was an
herd of them over the liver (mean

suppose,) and he warneil the people
to beware of them,’' as they were the
most dangerous of any sort now ex

TOR THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.
In the unprecedented mass of fals-
hood, scurrility and abuse which lias
lately filled the columns of the Argus,
Vtspecting Major Clark, I have read
with not a little indignation, the per
version of certain observations res
pecting Governor Mitchell. This
indignation has arisen lrom a know
“ removes to France or to China,
“ owes the same allegiance to the king
“ of England there, as at home, and
“ twenty years hence as well as now.
“ For it is a principle ol Universal
“ law, that the natural born subject ot
one prince, cannot by any act cj his
own, no Hot by swearing allegiance
“ to another, put off or discharge his
“ natural allegiance to the former ;
“ for this natural allegiance was in
trinsic and primitive, and uitiecc-
“ dent to the other; and cannot be
divested without the concurrent act
“ of that prince to whom it was first
‘ due.” I am confident Governor
Mitchell feels himself little obligated
by the introduction of bis own name,
or that of any member of his family,
in a contest perfectly remote from his
jfficial station, and in which he can
have no personal interest. He is a
lawyer ; and the above quotation on
the right of persons, is as familiar to
him as it is to Major Clark. If ever
he appears aukward in the eyes ol
the public, the change will be effect
ed through the flimsy and distorted
representations of such men as Anal
izer and his coadjutors. Governor
Mitchell lias taken an independent
stand ; and as long as he maintains
it with that integrity and firmness
which have hitlurto marked his cha
racter, Mt> Clark’s friends will do
him justice. APPIUS.

FOR THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.
The vile, barefaced and shameful
attacks upon a man’s reputation
were never more palpable, timn in a
statement in the last Argus of Ma
jor Clark’s official conduct respect
ng John Hoyle and llcnrv Putnam.
\ plain relation of the facts will
prove that the Editor of the Argus
has lied, most shamefully and wanton
ly lied. Some time before Major
Clark was appointed Solicitor Gene
ral, John Hovic employed him to
bring a suit against one John Benson
for false imprisonment ; the suii
was accordingly instituted ; and ai
the last term of the Superior conn
for Baldwin, it was called tip for
trial. Archibald Martin, Benson’s
attorney, informed Major Clark that
he should require the warrant unde
which Hoyle was taken into custody,
in order to justify Benson. Major
Clark replied that such a warrant was
not in his possession, and of his own
knowledge he knew nothing of it.
It was observed by Martin that Col.
Gresham had given it to Major T.
at Hancock Superior court some
time before, with the view of insti
tuting a prosecution against Hoyle
for Ilog-stealing. Major Clark re
plied that understanding from Hoyle
there was such a warrant issued, hi
would admit it on the trial of the
case; which was tantamount to its
production. The cause lrom some
circumstance however, was not tried.
At Greene adjourned court, Majoi
Clark charged Mr. Martin with ha
ving given currency to certain false
reports injurious to his reputation-
ivcll acquainted with the history and
merits of the case. Thus, fellow ci
tizens, you discover the ground upon
which Major Clark has been vilifi
ed, calumniated and abused, fit
enemies first charged him with Fede
ralism, but discomfited and defeated
in that charge, they have canctlle
their whole artillery of Billingsgate
abuse, against his official and profes
sional character. With the malice
of fiends they have pryed into the in
most recesses of his life; and all to
answer the vile purposes of part}
spirit, and to gratify the malignant
passions of 3 or 4 base men. But it
will not do. The wisdom, finnnesi
and integrity of the citizens of Geor
gia, is not to be changed, by the
productions of deluded scribblers,
or the charges of men whose very
names arc synonymous with infamy
and contempt. CITIZEN.
