""GOVERNOR'S message.
Our readers are presented in this evening’s
Tekg raj h, wilh the Message of Gov, Trocp,
«t die opening of the session, in full. They
v 'll peiccive it is much in the spirit of his for
mer communications, and those acquainted with
li^s Excellency’s style, will not be disappointed
on perusing it. The talents of Gov. Troup,
as a writer, have never been questioned—as a
partisan writer he is not, perhaps, surpassed.—
He po sesses certainly an originality of thought,
a brilliancy of conception, of no ordinary
grade; and were we satisfied of his patriotism,
el h s judgment, of his devotedness to the cause
of the Slate instead of a party, we should have
no hesitation in ranking him among the great
est men of our country. But there are many
who have for a long time had their doubts on
these particulars; and the late Message will
not tend very materially to remove them—
though there are many things in it to admire,
ami the spirit and language are far more mild
than in most of his previous ones.
For ourselves, we have never been amongst
tho violent of his Excellency’s opposers,
and have always been disposed to view his pub
lic acts, preposterous as they may have seemed
tple, with candor and impartiality. Our op
position has been from principle—not from a-
uy feelings of personal hostility ; and though
our judgment may have been erroneous, our
iit'cnttons were honest—our motives have been
pure. We have had no object hut our coun
try’s good in view; and as freemen, as de
scendants of those who luid down their lives
for us—we have considered no sacrifice too
great, for the preservation of our happy insti-
lut oils, mid of our liberties so dearly won.
lu the opening paragraph, the allusion to the
deaths of tIso venerable patriarchs, Jefferson
anti Arams, though brief, is a beautiful one,
and Mich as might he expected from his classic
jea; and in t! <s last, the congratulations on
the blessings ot Iiel,g:ous Toleration, and the
becoiningncss of liundtny and thanksgiving, if
sincere, are such as will meet the approbation
of every friend of ChristianKy,
The worn-out subjects of tho organization of
the Militia, the Judiciary, the Poor School
fund, Arc. &c. though important in themselves,

v* d, and tho expense to which the State has
been pu‘, by each of them, is not inconsidera

I pon the whole, the Message is worthy of
an attentive perusal, and the subjects embraced

We hope our readers will bestow upon it the
attention it deserves; and decide on its merits

THE WEATHER,
S'tire our last, has become considerably cool-
C', and reminds us feelingly of Fall. Cloaks
® r, ‘ fretting iuslronuhlc—and the uso of a fire-
i’ is beginning to be discovered, does not
consist altogether in holding green bushes and
flower pots.
Thoiiph the change has been considerable, it
is not unpleasant—the coolness havintr rather
increased , * l- n diminished the pleasantness of
the wnthcr. Wo in tins m ! ld region hardly
It'otv how to sympntlfn with such ns look
upon the approach of Water w>'h any other
R'chitps than those of pleasure. To us, win-
t<‘i' has no tevro’-s. It is rather regarded as
lj n?ing a renovation of health, and nssocin-
t ons °f unmineled delight. And Jack Frost,
however stormy and appalling he may he in
*' me parts of the world, is thought a good deal
ot here—provided kt does not come unexpected-
l !/i nor slay too long! In such cases he is ra
ther coolly treated. As he has now been look
ed for with somo impatience for a considerable
time, wo may expect a protty long visit from
wm.
Frost brings with it more blessings than one.
It is an excellent febrifuge in our bilious au-
tumuals—and a powerful refrigerium in cases
of political phrenitis. It cools off the fever,
and it cools down ihe phrenzy—operating on
the livers and brains of unfortunate valetudi
narians, who have been suffering frdm the mi
asma of marshes and politics during the dog
days of the election campaign, in a very salu
tary mauner. No wonder then, that Jack
Frost is such a favorite. The multitude would
give him almost any office, For our part,
we should have'no objection to his going to
the Legislature—a little coolness there might
be serviceable; but we never wish to see him
Governor of the State! We have suffered e-
nough from hot rulers—let us have no freezing
ones.

From the Georgia Journal.
TO T1IE PUBLIC.
I present to you in the columns of the Geor
gia Journal, a copy of tho letler, which has
drawn down upon me the censure of a writer
who calls himself “A Citizen.” This letter
has already been published*; two of the Ga
zettes of Milleilgeville, but it is proper that if
should be presented, to ihe commuuity through
the same channef, through which the attack has
been made upon me.
The ground upon which the verdict was giv
en on the trial of Edwards for perjury were
not impertinently demanded, but respectfully
solicited by Gen. Clark, in order tint lu» might
have it in his power to correct any unwarranta- * 1
blc inference which might he attempted to be
drawn from that verdict. They were cheerful
ly given to Gen. Clark, but not more readily
than they would have been given to any other
citizen, under similar circumstances. If that
letter has subserved the purpuscs of u«t., m,.
object has been accomplished.
In the concluding paragraph of that letter, I
lav it down as a general proposition “that
while a verdict of ncquitul, obtained as that
was in Edwards’ case,” upon a technical ex
ception to the evidence, and not upon a trial of
the merit* of the charge, “ relieves the accused
from the penalties of the law, it wipes not from
his character, tho stain of guilt.” To the cor
rectness of this proposition the common sense
of every individual will yield its assent. When
■ lie Grand Jury return upon an indictment a
“ True bill” they do it to be sure upon that
evidence alone winch is intended to sustain
ihe prosecution ; but they are satisfied that
that evidence raises a strong presumption of
the truil* of ihe accused. This finding where
tho defendant is charged with having 'commit-
icd an infamous offence, fixes a stain upon his
chai geter which cannot be effectually removed
but by an acquittal upon a full hearing of all
the evidence. An acquittal obtained, by re
pelling ujion a tccbnichcal exception, that tes
timony which is necessary to support the prose
cution, docs not wipe away the stain, and as
before remarked, instead of proving tho inno
cence of the accused, it only screens him from
that punishment which the law has annexed to
the commission of tho crime.
In relation to that part of my letter in Ivhich
it is stated that “ I had no reason to believe
otheiwise than that there was ample evidence
to convict tho prisoner if his affidavit could
Iiavo been procured,” I will remark that no
mau of ordinary honesty, who was desirous of
examining the propriety of the letter impartial
ly, would so have seperated a sentence as to
draw a conclusion from a part of it, which was
unwarranted by it when taken in its integrity,
viz: that I had most unnecessarily and un
mercifully introduced that statement into tho
letter. It will be seen upon a perusal of my
letter that it had been stated that 1 repelled the
evidence and ordered the acquittal of Ed wards,
because it was not believed there was sufficient
evidence to convict him, a charge directly im
pugning the purity of my official conduct.—
The charge, (I lutd fhe best authority for be
lieving,) had been made and I knew it 40 be
base and unfounded. On the part of the state
I acquired a knowledge of the evidence while
acting as prosecuting officer, and knew nothing
of any testimony in support of the affidavit on
which the perjury was assigned, and therefore
had no reason to believe otherwise, than that
there was amide evidence to have convicted
the accused if his affidavit could have been pro
cured. I deemed it neither indelicate nor im
proper to make this declaration, and it could he
exceptionable to none blit to him who would
assasinato character, and select falsehood as a
weapon to effect his purpose. I have been
thus particular in the hope that I might satis
fy every individual of tho propriety of my con
duct, except “ A Citizen, and him I would
not attempt to satisfy.

29tl) October, 1826,
Forsyth, 8th Sept. 1826.
Gen. Clark,'
Sir—In accordance with your request,
contained in your favor of this date, I take a
pleasure in stating to you the groundi on which
the piosecu ion in Monroe Superior court,
against. Win. Edwards for perjury was decided.
An objection was made by his Counsel to
reading a copy of the affidavit in evilence, on
which the perjury was assigned. The objec
tion was sustained upon the principle that in
prosecutions for perjury when the otth is in
writing, it must in all cases bo produced.—
With this requisiton the Solicitor w<« unable
to comply; for it appeared that ever; effort to
procure the original had proved unsuccessful.
The copy affidavit having been rejected, no
evidence could be admitted to disprove the
charge made in the oath, and a veiaict of ac
quittal was ordered by tho court andsipned by
ihe jury. This much might satisfy jour inqui
ry ; but inasmuch as I have heard (hat state
ments have been made, “ that that direction
was given the prosecution by the judje, because
it was believed, there was not suficient evi
dence to convict the defendant,” I ibern it nei
ther indelicate nor improper, on ny own ac
count, io mention that I have no rcison to be
lieve otherwise, than that there wawample evi
dence to codvict. the prisoner if lis affidavit
could have been procured.
I can further say, sir, that wlile a verdict of
Requital, obtained as this was, relieves the ac
cused from the penalties of the law, it wipes
not from his character the stain if guilt.
With much respect, &c.
ciiarles j. McDonald.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
At a meeting of the members of (Ik far, attending
Oglethorpe Superior court, held at the Judge's Cham
bers in Lexington, on Wednesday evenng, 18th Oct.
1820, to render a tribute of respect to tleir lately de
ceased brethren, JOHN B. STEWART Esq. and SO-
PHOS STAPLES, Esq,
Judge Dooly was requested to presideas Chairman,
anil N. C. Sayre appointed Secretary.
On motion of Augustin S. Clayton, Do. a commit
tee consisting ol Mr. Clayton, Mr. Camthell, and Mr.
Lumpkin was appointed by the chair ti draft and re
port appropriate resolutions expressive if the feelings
entertained by the members ot the mating towards
their deceased brethren.
Mr. Clayton from the committee rciorted the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions, whichwere unanim
ously adopted.
The members ofthebarofthe norther; and adjacent
circuits, have convened forthepuqiose if paying a suit
able testimony of respect to the meinorie: of two of tiieir
respected brethren, John B. Stew art, aid Sopbos Sta-
[ iles, Esquires, whom a late dispensatiouof Providence
tas removed from life. The frequettej of such trib
ute might seem to render their object common and
familiar, and therefore without the merit ot sincerity
or real sympathy. But this meeting without a studied
and atfected declaration of their purpose, fondly be
lieve they carry into this present dischaigeof their pain
ful duty, some higher motive than tbs expression of
formal regrets, and stronger feeling than pretended
veneration. Tiie chief distinction of our departed
friends was ail humble life of candid and honest con
duct, traits of character earned by a correct observance
of every private amt nroi-ninn-l nKlUsJi-n. -nS lliOUgh
possessing none of those attractions belonging to more
exalted attainments and rare intellect, yet in their ex
ample upon Society, of an impression at least us last
ing, ana useful in their effect. At all the points in
which their characters came into view by a loug and
continued intercourse with their professional brethren,
nothing was ever discovered in their lives or conversa
tion which did not characterize the perfect gentleman,
‘V*. enmnaninn. the sincere friend, the up
right citizen and the faithfttit««—«v^ nou mis meet
ing entertain no doubt that the snme consistent regard
was paid by them to every claim connected with their
private relations which do not lie so immediately in the
way of common observation.
If integrity of character claims and receives our res
pect in life, it certainly is entitled to our affectionate
recollection after death.
Penetrated by a proper sense of the truth of these re
marks, and directed by the feelings and sentiments
which they so naturally inspire—
Resolved UnamiMiuly, That in testimony of the sin
cere sorrow felt for the death of our lamented friends,
and of respect to their memories the members of this
meeting, and of the barr-f the Northern circuit, will
wear crape on the the left arm for the space of thirty
days.
Resotrod, That we sincerely sympathise with the
friends and relatives of our deceased brethren, in their
early aud irreparable loss and are suitably impressed
with the extent and rigour of tiieir calamity.
Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting com
municate our proceedings to the respective iambics of
each of our deceased brethren, and to the venerable
father ofthe late John B. Stewart, Esq. aud also furnish
a copy for publication.
