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, ate seflic ently dwelt upon.

But this *'» n, i im- poitant subject, and noi wishing to decide has tily, \te shall postpone o furdter review of its item., nil some o her occasion. On the subject of tho Cherokee lands, the Gateimir refers to h.s recommendation to a f" ti er Legislature, of tid ing possession of tin country at once ; but docs not say how we me o get over the Treaties existing between us and those people. The line between Georgia and Alabama, as will as Internal Improvement, is an interest ing subject; and, as the questions invol- v* d, and tho expense to which the State has been pu‘, by each of them, is not inconsidera ble, hey may claim from us, hereafter, a pass ing remai k. I pon the whole, the Message is worthy of an attentive perusal, and the subjects embraced in of a calm and deliberate consideration.— We hope our readers will bestow upon it the attention it deserves; and decide on its merits u 'lh feelings unbiassed by prejudice or partial- THE WEATHER, S'tire our last, has become considerably cool- C', and reminds us feelingly of Fall.

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. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Both Branches were organized on the Oth instant, and proceeded to the election of their officers.

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. charlf.s j. McDonald. 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.

Too long has our State been the theatre of discord—it is high time that the temple of Janus was shut. Constitutionalist [* We think differently.—Ed. Telegraph.] Georgia is singularly fortunate in having bold navi gable rivers on her Eastern and Western borders, with the Atatamaha and its tributaries, the Oconee and Oc- mulgee passing through the centre ofthe State. The improvement of these bountiful gifts of Providence, by which our products are conveyed from the interior to a seaport, would seem to be aii objeet of the first noanderMton. It would essentially benefit those who live remote from ns well as those residing near the rivers The cost of freight from Augusta, Millcdge. ville or Mucon to tho seaport town from whence our cotton is shipped, is so much deducted from tiie value ofthe article to the planter, and this will always be more or less in proportion to the difficulties and delays which embarrass the navigation of our rivers . Tn causes which diminish the price of cotton, enhance the cost of iron, salt and other essential articles. _ Recorder. 9 he District Surveyors uurnoeo him* niaii-li^nsc on the 1st inst. and after being qualified and having re ceived their instructions, many of them proceeded on immediately to the discharge of their duties.
