163 * : . . 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.

[The City Council of Charleston declined tho purchase, and have, in compliance with the request of Mr. Davis, published-tho foregoing memorial, together with his letter to tho In- tendant of .Charleston enveloping it.] 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. H. CLAY. 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.

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 converts, confess their error, and sin no more. - .... — — 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. Tho caliow editor of the Journal states, that “almost all .tho the leading men of that [Clark] party, it was understood, wore ultra federalists." This is really news; and we regret much that he does enter into dotail to name individuals, at we did not know before that in any instance a fed eralist had become a leading democrat, although wb have personal knowledge of oojoriuus fede- BRUNSWICK CANAL.
