But no secret artifice could ever diminish the public confidence in his virtue, and no concerted opposition could over arrest bis marrb to fame, for there has ever been a truth in his word which cannot be gainsaid, and a power in his mind that cannot be resisted—In that black period of Georgia’s History, when tho infernal com bination of Yazoo vampires wore fntening on tho life of tlio State, he was neither a lukewarm, ruiran inefficient adversary of these blood suckers of the count ry. Though young ho was dreaded for his courage and foimidahlo for his talents; and unmindful of consequences in the discharge ol con scientious duties, he never failed on all pro per occasions to exhibit tho turpitude of that transaction nnd gibbit to public, infamy tho base and slinmcleRs participants.

GENERAL CLARK. In this paper will be found an address hy Gen. John ( lark, “ To ilia People of Geor- ui «,” upon the. subject of “ many vUnders and misrepresentations which” (he says) “ have been rimilntei! to mislead the public mind ’ Among th© many charges in circulation against him* ho has made his own selection of those v&hieti lie deem* most difficult to he proved and easily defended, and says, “ The grounds a present taken against me are—That I was opposed to the making of the late treaty with the (!reek«, nnd that I now wish it annulled— th u I am one ol those who corrupted the Le gislator© to proem© th© passage of the act, commonly called the Yazoo act—and that I -omo years sine©, shot the ©lligy of Gen Washington.—Either of these established would render my pretensions to the office of Governor a during presumption.” Without ih© proof of either, we have been long sin©© satisfied, ih.it his ofloiing his name for the Chief Magistracy of this Slate was i most daring presumption. But the public am Gen. Clark are well acquainted with %)iir opin •on of him Setting that aside for the present w© will n*e©t him upon his own r boson ground and pledge ourselves to prove him guilty ol at b'flst two of the charges. As to the shooting at Gen. Washington’' effigy, we know nothing, and about it have never said any thing—nor ©an we conceive it of any importance, a* we have no doubt, if proved on him, a drunken fioli© (of which he had many in those days) would be alleged ns an excuse for this insult upon the Father of his Con try. 1st. Then as regards his opposition^ to tho lat* Treaty, wo shall refer the public to the editorial articles ol his on n newspaper, (“The Georgia Patriot,” published in this place) nt tli© time the Commissioners were holding the ireutics at Broken At row and the Indian Spring*— \t the ton© of exultation for the licipated rejection of the treaty by the Pr dent and Senate of the United States, when the Agent Crowell, wrote and went to Wash ingion City to prevent its ratification, and ol ilie constant praises and support which Crow ell, Games mid Andrews have received from that paper, up to this lime But wo have been told, that paper does not belong to Gen. Clark, and that lie has no in terest in that establishment, lo disprove thi we subjoin an extract from the records of tli Superior e.mut of Baldwin ronnty, containing a copy ol tien Claik’s affidavit iu which he swears that the pi ess and types fyv. are his pro party; und <-u which a claim ia now pending in said Court. (I) Whatever may be our opinion with regard to the truth ©f that affidavit, we presume h ‘ friends w ill not dispute it; and he and tin , are placed in tli© unpleasant dilemma, of ad milting that th© printing establishment does belung io him, or that lie has sw orn to a fal»c hood. Again, it hns been nrgvd, that although li'o is the righttu! owner of the establishment yet lie has no control oveTthc editorial department • Inch is exclusively managed by bis hireling: This is just as tiue as that the plantation of ©otton planter is exclusively managed by h overseer, and that tho owner can exercise aio control over him Which w© all know* is not Hi© (net—and that tho reierse is certainly true Tnat the overseer manages tho plantation un dor the control ami diieriion of his employer and when lie cease* to do so, is discharged. S\ o rannot disti guish between an opposi lion to the treaty and th© support of Crowd! Claim s and Andrews, who have industrious' and sedulously employed themselves, nut i attending to their distinct and official duties out in collecting testimony to defeat nnd annu •lie treaty. Wc again rail the attention of our readers u> tiro Editorial articles of Gen. Clark' paper, to prove, tint he has warmly support* tluse men. Nor do we thiuk it unfair i mention the sunparl tlioy have received from tli© Augusta Chronicle, edited hy Wm J. • lobby, tin*, brother-inlaw of Gen. Clark. These papers, nr© for Clark and the only ones in the slate which have supported them H is address admits that lie husrullcdon them while in this place, and treated them with po liteness and attention. “ Bird* of u feather, will flock together.” By a lefurenc© to the (2) Journals of the Senate and House of Representatives of the extra session, you will perceive, that nll^ the warm and violent partisans of Gen. Clark (and they only) voted against l lie resolutions reported by the committee on the slate ol the republic ngniiiKtCrnwell, and it it is well know,i that his partisans on that committee, violently, and pertinaciously deposed, step hy step, all enquiry into lira condftct. - it has been aid, nd may again be urged, that Gen. Clark \Yt ulcrs particularly to the ex- • i Clark himself*“ 1 oper course is pn should not he rtsponsjtyjp for the conduct of his partzans in the Legi&intgre, und ihat their sup port of Crowell should bo no evidence against him. This plea would bo too ungenerous aud illiberal for the high minded independent John Clark to avail him of—\V lint, desert Ids friends whin they have staked their all (their popu larity) to support his friend Crowell, who swore “ the Indians shall not ceric one fool of lrad while i roup was Governor." Indeed, it is not to be expected, ami cannot be contended that tin s© friends would act directly contrary [to his wishes, when ho was with them almuNt ny day duringjhe extra session, while the minittee was proceeding. \V© cannot omit to mention th© public din ner given to Gen. Gam©*,(the violent onposer of ill© treaty nnd sponsor of Marshall and Edward**) by the followers of Clark. It wa indeed pretended by the committees, that thus dutneis were given on account ot h»> forme s during the war, (not lb© .beminol ... Alabama—for with them Georgia is not concerned—And, why make thi* distinction . If the treaty ho unfair, corrupt and fraudulent, and can be annulletl, it must be totally sot aside. If it be fairly and honestly obtained, and cannot he totally annuled, it cannot he in part. And why would lie have that course ued toward* the Indian*——enforce the treaty so far at least as Georgia is concern ed, and destroy it so far as Alabama is inter ested ? To continue an Agency situate he* iwcecn the two states, uml thus secure it mo ney making, speculating resting place lor friend Crowell. Th© General may say, he has never said any thing against the trea ty. Perhaps lie lias beon cautiouj not io »ke any expression that might be brought in idetice against him. But we think notion* speak stronger than words, and Holy wht ha* said, a the tree shall he judged by its, fruits ” 2d. The second question, which present* it self, for our consideration, is the interest which Gun. Clark had in the Yazoo business, com monly called and emphatically styled the \ a- zoo fraud Tis true the General in the outset makes, apparently n sweeping denial of all tli© cliargfSj which he lias selected for controver sy, and intends you shall believe, lie has dear ud any interest and concern in tha Yazoo pur chase. ’J Ids luvweygr is not the fact—Even he ilaip uot deny that fact, notorious lo every man of reflection and recollection, in the Stale of Georgia. He makes the charge in Ids own words—“ That 1 am one of those who corrupted the Legislature, to procure the pas sage of th© net commonly called the Yazoo to suit the denial ho intends to make.— But, this shall nut avail him we have the documents in our power lo prove his direct In st iu the puichase, and Ids concern and participation in the fraud and the fruits of the successful corruption ; und, wc cannot refrain tli© expression of our astonishment at his pre tended denial of it, when lie knows thosedo cuments, have been perpetuated bv the Con gress of the United States and the Legislature of Georgia. In the law*of the United States, Vol. I, from n ig© 612 to 511 inclusive, will hr found recorded tho whole of th© documents and evidence which have come to light in re lation to that most iniquitous, disgraceful and infamous transaction* In page 535, John Clark is pul down for 28,000 acres being one half of a sub share (which was 56,000 acres) in the Georgia company and on the same page at the top will he (blind th© nnme of hisfutlici Eliith Clark for , r >6,000 neves; ami immedi ately following him Id* hor ored friends Mat thew Talbot n .d Arthur Fort, (father ol Dr Fort) 23,000acres each. Inpago 689, John s name is put down for shares No. 81 and 82, in the 1 ©nncsseo company (of which Zacli. Cox and M. Maher and their associ ates \vi r© the grautees—Watkins’ Dig. Laws of Georgia page 564) ar.d immediately below him, his father entered for two mare shares, No. 33 and 8-1—and at the top ot the same pug© the name of Arthur Fort for two mar share*, No 69 and 70. The above ©K'r.icts we consider as conclu sive proof that Gen. Clark had an interest and a deep interest in that speculation We will not content ourselves with this, Im l proceed to prove that he was inf-re*ted and wa* one of the associates, before the passag of the act ; (and not a 2d purchaser) and ol course was “ one of those who corrupted the Le gislature ’* In p. 531-2 will lie found articles of agree ment between James Gunn and others, dated 1st January, 1795, wiiile the lull was before the Legislature, mid six days before it re ceived its sanction by the Governor which was ou the 7tli Jan. 1795, when it became » law. In the next page, (533) you will find anotli ©r instrument, executed by the same parties, on the lOtli uf January, 1795, relering to tin* preceding one in which they say “ we do here by ratify by thebe presents, every mallei and tiling contained in s iid agieetuent, and do hereunto annex a schedule or list of the per sons who are entitled to an interest in said coin puny.” Mark veaders, the word* ” ore enti tled'' are iu the present tense—and the names of John Clark and th© others named, arc on that list. This was the Georgia company— and you will observe the whole was in ten large sh.ucs (and they were divided into sub shares of 66,000 acres each) uml that Gen eral John Clark is put down as a sharer, and not as a purchaser. Again you will find (in page 53G) an instru ment in writing, signed by Zuchanah Cox and M* Maher, (iheToanctmce company) to which they sttbj lin tho form of a certificate, and the nanus of the persons to rnhum Certificates of shares arc issued. In this list as we have before mentioned, you will find John Clark and Ids Father for two shares ckch. Kefciing purli© ularly to that list, you wtM sec sonic certifi cates ar© dated the 9th cf 'Januaiy, some the HUh, llih, 12tii, loth, and l-itli of January, and some the 25th February, 1795. Those for John Cl.uk and his fatlin were dated the HUli, and he and his fricuds may urge lliut. pro es that they were not originally interested as the net trussed the 7th of January. Tint' proves nothing for them—(or upon exaqtinu- lion, you will find no certificate issued lo Zaclutriali Cox, till lire 11th ami 12th, not to M- Maher 1*11 the tliirieemli and fourteenth, tnd both these pet-sous had certificates issued to them on lit© 25th February. Now , if tl date of the tenth prove* iii Clark was not an original pun lta>er the date - of the lllh, 12th, &.c. prove that Cox ami Valier arc not origi- ginul purchasers, uml of Course, that there u cre no original purchasers, which is an absur dity. But, the instrument of writing, and the ... , .. « ct P“ rt * that Cox told the deponent he could not, fir that all the shares were taken up." Now, Mr Cox (Zurh.triali Cox of Yazoa memory) was a Trustee, not only in one com- pan[ti but in two—the Georgia and Truitc.s&ct companies. («•©»• Lavvv U 5ftales, Vol |, P. 531,and Watkins's J'ig^^teMte 561) (lie very romjnuiies in which Chv. k hvwoMvaTejqnml Cox declare* before the paswge of the act, in n gentleman who wished to take a share, that ho could not have one, for all the shares secretes- km up. How did Chirk gut his, unless he had previously taken them? for all had been ta ken up before the act was passed. But ho says, “ he wa* not one of those who corrup ted the Legislature,"—“ that he was not a mem ber”—“ that he was not there tampering with the members. Jcc. For these, wc must have something more than his bar© word W © have proved lie was interested in the land* purchased—dial he was an associate s two of the compiinics before the bur teas passed, and of t course had to bmtra part of aNfthe expenses, f a* well bribes as other expense* in procuring j the passage of that act—that the Legislature | was corrupt d hy thus© companies, has been proven conclusively, nnd none but a member of i tin*. Yazoo companies can now deny Ihat he 1 iro.v one of those who corrupted the Legislature. I .Aware that his word would not be sufficient, ho* \ brings to Ins aid his election of Major General J 1796, hv ih« Legislature who burned the 7 fatuous Yazoo art, and his appointment of Trustee of the University, in 18Uf, nnd tells mf- he was associated with Gen James .lucksofi i and Abraham Baldwin, and (why did lie not' 9 Why were these appointment <%tferred ilh a knowledge of the facts (Jbirk nnd O’Neal ?
