force of stratagem to rival Charleston, and to
govern the export* and commerce of both
stales;—which would leavo all tho trade of this
river unmolested to the latter.
Tbits your city would the more readily and
profitably obtain that revenue mid commerce
winch nature has destined her, within certain
geographical limits of Georgia, to which the
S'lvannah river is the most convenient outlet;
together with no small moiety of the irade from
the back counties and districts of North and
South Carolina, which Savannah has Icon de
riving the commercial beuefit of for upwards
of thirty years.
Your memorialist is for conforming to the
geographical laws of nature, and the broad in
terest of the country, agreeable to the tenets of
our boasted republican form of government and
“equal rights,"—Hence lie conceives ft better
for Georgia, and far better for the citizens,
hanks, and capitalists of Savannah, that Bruns
wick should bo revived boliiro they irretrieva
bly involve themselves deeper in a train of
subsequent financial dilapidation:—which port
(Brunswick) and its geographical dependen
cies, arc so remote from Charleston, that the
clashing of mercantile rivalship, which now ex
ists, and will otherwise continue to increase,
particularly on the part of Savannah, would bo
forever obviated; which, until this Brunswick
canal is cut, will only end in many bankrupt
cies, and a depreciation of Bank Stock, bear
ing upon one, or perhaps both cities, in conse
quence of an overreaching ambition among the
merchants, banks, and capitalists, of at least
Savannah, with a view of holding out induce
ments to the interior and the world, of a pre
eminence of market and of health.
As your memorialist conceives, therefore,
that Charleston, from her superior capital, per
manent population, and natural concentrating
commercial advantages over Savannah, will ul
timately engross her contmorce and exports,
by an entire acquisition of tho trade from and
to this river, which is no small object; and that
it would be far better for the people and mer-
a chants of both cities, and tho rising generation,
tlmflho Brunswick canal should be cut, aud
thereby let nature nnd the broad interest of the
country take their wonted course:—in which
your city would do honor end benefit to horself
by embracing so laudable an enterprise, where
by tho products of tho interior of North and
South Carolina, together with tho north nnd
cast side of Georgia in tho vicinity oT the Sa
vannah river, would nssumo a more regular
system, both in. prico to tho planter, and pro
fit each toty to tho merchant;. which would al
so lead to a gradual increase of real estate in
town, and at the same flno lay tho foundation
of futuro reciprocal interests betwocn Charles
ton and Brunswick, vour memorialist cannot
seo whorcin it should not bo an object both
honorable nnd interesting, in a financial and
commercial point of view, for the former to
assist in cutting tho contemplated canal for the
benefit of the latter.
Tho fact is, tho maritime location of Savan-
n ih is situated, as it were, between two fires:
—Charleston and Brunswick, with but only a
just geographical claim to tho trade of tho
north side of Georgia upon this river, which is
hor solo equitable dependence for commercial
support; and that she will not be able to m tin-
tain when the two latter come to claim thoir
just rights to tho trade of tho interior of North
and South Carolina, to Charleston; and west
of the Oconeo river in this state, to Brunswick.
And while she would but ruin herself by en
deavor ng to swell by newspaper reports, and
a visionary canal noariy parallel with the su
perb inland steamboat navigation to the Alata-
maha, with a view of keeping Brunswick down;
it becomes a matter of gcnoral interest for o-
thers to guard against the ruinous effects of hor
temporary ambition.
Your memorialist has caused tho above route
for the Brunswick canal to ho surveyed in the
most scientific manner by Major John Wilson,
civil engineer of your city; to whose report lie
bogs leave to refor your honorable body:—ho
has also obtainod a most liberal charter front
the legislature of Georgia, vesting tho rights
and privileges for tho said canal in himself and
nine others incorporated with him, perpetually;
who, hive resigned tho control and disposal of
tho charter, together with the said rights and
privileges to your memorialist, ho being turiu*
ally the solo bona fido proprietor—which char
ter is also herewith submitted.
Your honorable body will perceive by the
said charter that your memorialist is at full lib
erty to 'dispose of it in any part of tho Union
—to a city council, astute, the gcnoral govern
ment, or to capitalist of this country, or in Eu
rope; and ho cannot conceive for tho very ob
vious reasons above stated, why the enterprizo
should not be oncouragcd by the city council,
or capitalists of Charleston; under the double
inducement to your city, of forever, constitu
tionally, holding tho leading linet of the com
merce and internal improvement of Georgia:
which your memorialist does not hesitate to
say, from due reflection, and knowledge of the
country, is tho only route for n canal in this
state, that will ever pay the interest of tho mo
ney for ctittintr:—hence it is on object worthy
of the united first rato talents and liberal prin
cipled capitalists x>f the country, nnd none so,
in tho full belief of your memorialist, than the
city over which your honorablo body presides.
' It will be perceived that tho question of
“Stato Rights" in regard to internal improve
ment, must be waved in this case, inasmuch
as thoso right;;, for this Brunswick cnnal, are
now vested in your memorialist, with full pow
er to put them into market, and dispose of
them, upon which the stock is based, to the
best advantage to further the objects in con-
fortuity to the sovereign authority of the Stato
of Georgia. Your honorablo body will further
perceive, that on reference to the map of
Georgia, together with that of the United
States, that the country and its opening agri
cultural prospects fo the westward, by tho way
of tire anticipated Florida canal by the general
government, and tho improvement of tho Oc-
tnulgeo, together with the vast inferiority of o«
ther port* on the coast, that this Brunswick,
must ere long become a place of, at least, great
commercial attraction for these two geographi
cal lines on tho north and west, forming an an
gle into' two vast fertile opening and rapid
ly populating regions to which they lead; and
therefore, by nature, and the assistance of
a little art, and the best interest of the coufftry,
this short canal must become a permament and
profitable stock, which your city would always
bo at liberty to sell out at a handsome pro
fit, should your successors, and the inhabitants
of Charleston be so disposed hereafter.
And furthermore, your memorialist has no
doubt but the state of Georgia would soon be-
coino so awakened to the enterprise, and re
gret that sifts lud let it slip through her hands,
under the-dormant state of public spirit to her
best substantial interest, and the sectional in
fluence of Savannah in the legislature, that she
would pay a handsome profit to get it back.
The expense of tho survey—obtaining the
charter, &c. &c. have all been done at tho in
dividual instance and expenditures of your me
morialist, amounting to two thousand one hun
dred dollars; and he now offers the whole to
your honorable body for tho benefit of Charles
ton, together with the rights of toll, which will
he perceived can be advanced to twenty-five
per cent per annum on the cost and repairs of
tho canal; reserving the privilege of retaining
thirty shares of the stock to himself, or receiv
ing the two tiiousand one hundred dollars in
cash.
Your memorialist will further agree to super
intend any department, under the direction of
an engineer in the preparation and execution
of tho work, should the above object and pro
position meot the approbation and encourage
ment of your honorable body, or the capital
ists of your city; and as in duty hound ho will
ever acknowledge. W. B. DAVIS,

JACKSON AND CLAY.
Lexinoton, (Ky) July 4.
We now lav before our readers tho follow
ing communication from Mr. Clay, on tho sub
ject of a subjoined letter from Genoral Jackson
to Carter Beverly, for which wc had not room
in our last.—Reporter.
TO THE PUBLIC.
On my arrival at Wheeling, on the 22d inst.
I was informed that Mr. Cnrtor Beverley, then
at that place, had received the preceding night,
by mail, a letter from Gcnoral Jackson, which
ho had exhibited to several persons, and left with
my friend Col. Noah Zano, for my perusal, and
which I was tol<| formod a 'Subject of general
conversation, and had produced much excite
ment irvtlie town. Tho Captain of tho Rein
door having kindly-detained hisstoam boat for
my accommodation, nnd as I was unwilling lon
ger to delay his departure, I had only time to
obtain a hasty, but I believe n correct copy of
the letter, nnd I now seize the first moment af
ter my arrival at homo, to present it to the pub
lic, to-jothor with a copy of another lettor ad
dressed by Mr. Beverloy to Col. Znne-
I purposoly forbear, at this time, to make sev
eral comments which theso documents author
ize, and confine myself to a notice of tho char
ges which General Jackson has brought for
ward in his lettor.
Theso chnrgos arc, 1st. That my frionds in
Congress, i> irly in January, 1825, proposed to
him that, if ho would say, or pormit nny of his
confidential frionds to say, that, in case ho was
uleclod President, Mr. Adams should not bo con
tinued Secretary of Stato, by a complete union
of niyselfand my friends, wo would put an end
to the Presidential contest in one hour; nnd
2dly. That tho obovo proposal was made to
General Jackson, through a distinguished mem
ber of Congress, of high standing, with tnypri
vih/ and consent.
To the lallor charge, I oppose a direct, uni
qualified and indignant denial. I noither made
nor authorised, nor know of any proposition
whatever to either of tho ^threo Candidates who
wore returned to tho House of Represctativos at
tho last Presidential election, or'to tho friends
of cither of thorn, for the purpose of influen
cing tho result of tho election, or for any other
purpose. And all negations, intimations nnd
inuondoes that ray voto, on that occasion, was
offered to bo given, or was in fact given, in con
sideration of nny stipulation or understanding.,
express or implied, direct or indirect, written
or verbal, that I was, or that any other parson
was not, to be appointed Secretary of State, or
that I was, in any othor mannor, to be person
ally benefited, are devoid of truth, nnd destitute
of any foundation whatever. And I firmly and
and solemnly believe, that tho first of tho two
abovo mentioned chnrgos is aliko untrue nnd
groundless. - But if (contrary to my full belief)
my friends or any of them made any such pro
position or offer, as is asserted in that first
charges, it was without my knowledge and with
out my authority.
The letter of General Jackson intimates, ra
ther than directly makes, the further charge,
that an arrangement was proposed and made
between Mr. Adam's friends and mine, by
which, in tho event of his election, I was to bo
appointod Secretary of State. I pronounce
that charge also as iar as I know or believe, fo
bo untruo and without tho least foundation.
General Jackson having at last voluntarily
placed himself in tho attitudo of my public ac
cuser, we are now fairly at issue. I rejoice that
a specific accusation by a responsible accuser.
tions and the employment of tho3c means.
Such being tho accusation and prosecutor and
tho issuo between us, I have now a right to ex
pect that he will substantiate his ihai go by the
cxibition of satisfactory evidence. In that e-
vent, there is no punishment which would ex
ceed the measures of my offence. In tho op
posite event what ought to bo the judgment of
the American public is cheerfully submitted to
their wisdom and justice.

Lexington, 29th June, 1827.
[Hero follow the letters of Gen. Jackson to
Mr. Beverley, and Mr. Beverley’s letter to Mr.
Noalt Zano, already published.]
. Commodore Ridgcly, tho Commander, of
the West India Squadron, sailed in tho Hornet.
It was not known, until he was under the way,
that he would leave this Port for some time,
nnd his expected movement, to Havana and
Key West, at this season, lias set conjecture a-
float as to the object of his visit. An unusual
number of despatches were reeoived by him,
from Washington, by late mails, and it is under
stood that the new sloop of War “The Natchez”
is to meet him off Havana.
The late movemonts at Key West may re
quire tho presence of tho Commander of our
Squadron. It was said, not long since, that a
Cabildohad been held in Havana, to discuss the
r/ropriety and expediency of attacking Com.
I’orter, within the Harbor of Key West and, of
course, within tho limits of tho jurisdiction of the
United States. It is reported, that a majority
wore in favor of the measure, but Vivos, tho
Captain General, and Com. Laborde were op-
>o*od to it, being of opinion that it would vio-
ato tho neutrality of tho Unitod States. It is
also rumored that Com. Labordo, Commander
of the Spanish Naval forces, has made a com
plaint to the Collector at Key West, against the
conduct of Com. Porter; and that tho Spanish
Authorities have also made formal complaints
to our government, of the violation of neutrali
ty on the part of the Mexican Naval forces. It
is probable that Com. R.i(lgely has been order
ed there, to enquire into these matters; to pre
vent abuse on either side, and to protect the
neutral character of tho United States.
If this bo the case, Cam. Ridgcly’s prompti-
tudo on this occasion shows, that tho Govern
ment have entrusted the performance of the ser
vice, to an energetic, efficient and zealous offi
cer. If the Spanish forces attack within our
limits the squadron of a friendly powor, enjoy
ing our hospitality, it will bo our duty to iuter-
pose nnd prevent it, by forco if necessary. If,
on tho other lnnd, tits Mexican forces abuse
that hospitality, by makiug, improper uso of tho
neutrality of our Ports; it will be tho duty of
Cora. Ridgoly to interfere, and prevent a do-
>arturo on our part from that neutrality, which

In consequence of Colonel Duncan G.
Campbell’s declining to continue a candidate
for the Gubernatorial Office, the venerable
Matthew Talbot consents to stand a competi
tor for the suffrages of the people at tho ensu
ing election of Governor. When his long and
faithful services, tho purity of iiis private life,
tho unchangcabieness of his principles, his
sound judgment, his unruffled temper, and
strong and disinterested patriotism, are remem
bered, it is believed, that every intelligent
friend of private virtuo and public rectitude,
will prefer him to John Forsyth, whoso private
life will not bear inspection, and whoso public
conduct has trespassed on the interest of tho
people as often as any passion could bo grati
fied or personal object could be subserved by
the departure. Tho Old Treaty delusion is
npw at an end—Troup pauses at, and recedes
from, the precipice to which he has driven
tho State of Georgia—he refuses to issue grunts
for tho land lying beyond tho New Treaty
boundary. It cannot bo, that tho freemen of
this Stato will confer their highest honors on
tho most unprincipled member of a faction that
has urged them to the destruction of their na
tional unity for tho attainment of nn object
which tho statutes of Georgia sanction, but
which Governor Trottp will not now allow.—
No: it cannot be. They will, if reason has
aught to do with probability, sot the seal of
thoir abhorrence upon that cabal of insurrec
tionists that has abused their confidence for
years, and elect as their principal servant tho
venerable statesman and undeviating patriot,
Matthew Talbot, of Wilkes county.
Troup a,New Treaty man!—How astonish
ing soever it may appear, yet it is a fact, that
Governor Troup refuses to issue grants for tho
land lying west the boundary lino of the New
Treaty. Of this fact no doubt can bo enter
tained. It is confirmed not only by intelli
gence from different parts of the country, but
also by Mr. Johnson Hamoc of Macon. He
had been offered nine hundred dollars for a
tract of land in tho county of Carrol; and will
ing to close with tho offer, applied for a grant
to enable him to convey tho tract legally; but
has been refused the benefit of that which tho
statutes of Georgia allow him, and finds what
lie deemed good fortune to be a mockery—
Now, if the Old Treaty wcro.valid and invest
ed the propriety- and dominion of tho soil in
Georgia, how dare Governor Troup, in con
travention of .tho statute and violation of bis
oath, refuse the issue of these grants, at tho risk
of his popularity and prostration of his con
sistency! Ho discovers now that the right of
Georgia to any of the land, except in virtue of
the New Treaty, is doubtful, and sooms will
ing to await tho acquirement by purchase.-
Where now are tho Hancock hussars!—tho de
pots of military munitions to resist the Unit
ed States?—Forsyth and Berrien’s treasonable
speeches breathing carnago and desolation?—
All, all, htve ended in smoko and idle fanfa
ronade. Troup steps forth, the Jupiter of his
party; and, by a single courso of negation, de
clares tho whole to be a base imposition on
tho pooplo of Georgia! Will,that people—
who have boon driven to the vorgo of civil war,
made tho derision of tho other States, havo had
their hopes tantalized, and thoir confidence be-
trayod—again invest deceivers with trust, and
leavo the peace of tit o country to tho discre
tion of incendiaries! What say you to this,
Mr. Changoling of tho Recorder? Aro you
and tho squadron of Troup newspapers pre-
S ared to go on tho other tack, and huzza for
’roup and the New Treaty!
■Tlie Milledgcmllt Recorder and Georgia
Journal declare that tho Troupers aro tho only
virtual supporters of Genoral Jackson in Geor
gia, while thoy anathematize his principles.
Facts speak foe themselves. Jackson voted for
the tariff, but tho Troupers execrate the tariff—
tho friends of Jackson, in tho Sonato of the U-
nitod States, did, upon oath, declare tho treaty
of the Indian Springs tahe null and void, but the
Troupers swoar that it is honost and legal—
Jackson and his friends have attempted to give
tho election of President to the people, but the
Troupers in tho Legislature and in Congress
have opposed and not in vain this act of impar
tial justice—in Congress, the friends of Jackson
have attempted to abridgo in the President the
means of corrupting tho people's representa
tives, but tho Troupers, John Forsyth in par
ticular, thwarted this effort at political morality.
Opposed to him in the most essential principles
of government, from what motivos do tho Trou
pers give him their support! As thoy havo been
his greatest vilifiers, in relation to both his
military nnd civil career, and at tho present mo
ment avow the most determined hostility to
his views of polity, what honost reason can they
assign for putting on his uniform and vocifera
ting his afjplause? None. Necessity, dire ne
cessity compels thpra to praiso what they hate;
and bend tho knoo to a man whom they inve-
tcrntcly abhor. If they would he esteemed
sincere in their veneration of tho man, lot them
adopt his principles; and, with tho candor of

The Journal denies that any tiling “like an
equilibrium of parties” exists in Georgia. This
is the first truth that it has told in tho last twelve
months, and would not now be bcliovcd without
collateral ovidonco. The Unionists, or old and
consistent friends of Jackson, include three fifths
of the people.

“almost all .tho the leading men of that [Clark]
