Turning hit back upon the “Old Treaty.”
Recent accounts from Milledgevillo state,
the foregoing show has been several times, of
late, exhibited at the Executive Offidb, in the
Metropolis of Georgia, with unbounded aston
ishment.
Scene 1 st.
Enter an old Revolutionary Soldier.
Soldier—Is his Excelloncy within?
Troup—(To one of his Secretaries.) What
does that old fellow want?
Soldier— (To tho Secretary.) I moan no
disrespoct to his Excollency: I only called to
get a Grant for the land I draw in Carroll
county, which his Excollency has said all along
the peoplo should havo in spite of Adams,
Gaines, Crowell «$- Co.
Secretary—His Excellency has determined
not to givo any Grants for those lands, as ho is
doubtful about his right to do so.
Soldier—But ho said tho peoploshould havo
tho land, cost what it would, and a groat many
good old Clarkitcs votedTor him in my county,
because thoy wore told by ’Squire Noisy, who
was a candidate for Surveyor, that Troup was
the only man in Georgia that could give us tho
land.
Secretary—That was nothing but an elec
tioneering trick. ■ Governor Troup was only
trying to socure his election again. But now
ho is about to retire from offio, ho is not such
fool ns to commit himself by granting disput
ed land.
Soldier—Woll I’ve been a Trouper myself
—but I see now I’ve been ’ deceived. My
conscience always checked me for voting for a
man that would abuso tho government, and try
to set the people against it. ’Squire Union
told mo the othor day, that Bunce,that prints a
paper, in Augusta, and Reid aud Berrien, nnd
all thorn great fellows wore the old Federalists
and supported Troup; and one of my neigh
bors that came from Jefferson county, says, he
hnowed Forsyth, in his raising, and ho was al
ways one of these same Federalists. And they
tell me, lio’s the very spit of Troup—blast me,
if I ar’n’t done with the whole posse of ’em—
all thoy want is to fool tho people and got their
money, and then they don’t care a curse for
’em.
Scene 2d.
His Excellency—Mr. Secretary, dismiss that
man and close tho office. [Exit to dinner.]
Soldier.—Go. on Troup—oat your dinner—
and tar and feather me, if I don’t go for old
Mat Talbot. Iknowhim.andho’ll say what
ho’il do, and do what he’ll say—but blast my
sou!, if I ever trust Forsyth or any of these
braggadocios again. [Exeunt omtiM.]
C7* It is said that Governor Troup has
positively refused to issutj Grants for land in
a part of tho new Territory. Whore now is
all his mighty boasting and “responsibility?"
require much more talents, to get them out of
the scrape, than they could parade on the are
na, they sunt a deputation.to Alticus fur some
assistance; and he, in kindness, sent this sharp
little Bird (who hud probably furnished some
of the beast ideas in Wrangkim Fits Ramble)
to help them out of a dead lift. Poor Peter,
wo presume, on tho 4th ultimo perched him
self on the uufortunato oak that grew near the
scene of disunion. Jupiter thundered on the
left hand. The lightning ruffled and ruined
his plumage and uffocted his brains. His pro
teges fled in dismay and left him, os they did
the bravo General Newnan, to take care of
himself. Poor Peter Ills, no doubt, been try
ing to find his way to the neighborhood of Bil
ly Woodly, (knowing ho was fond of wild ani
mals) to get some of his boys to nurse him, till
he could let Atticus see that ho had not come
to tho Ocmolgeo in vain. Like as the great
Radical could not get tho offldo of President
and cannot fulfil the duties of Judge—so poor
Jay Bird, finding that he could not avert the
anger of Heaven and the people, dreamed a
dream—and it is very probable that, like
Wrangham Fits Ramble, he diod in the ef
fort, und Billy’s 'coons are now singing over
him;.

I Tho Troupers, in these parts, are really
driven to a pitifulaltornativo. After having
exhausted their own talents at wit, ingenuity
and misrepresentation, thoy havo beon obliged
to resort to comparative anatomy to find brains
that might possess more subtlety than their own,
to support a sinking enuse. And they havo
beon extremely fortunato in tho selection. Jay
Birds, like themselves, so far as we aro acquain
ted with both, :uo celebrated for four things
only—n fair exterior—a happy talent at a most
annoying noisiness—infringements upon the
rights of Itighor beings—md imitations, in their
notes, of a bird, far superior to themselves, in
powor and talents.
Wodo not know where poor littlo Peter, may
have been educated—but wo should rathor
suppose from the contortions of his crani
um, that ho was tutored at Athens, though ho
lacks so much of the Attic salt. Yet Peter, like
thoir great radical Judge, may havo been once
a very considerable, personage. But it is evi
dent, that, like him, Peter has felt tho hoavy
visitations of Heaven: for, like him, ho recol
lects a part of the truth, to wit, that tho anger
of God falls upon tho unbending and rebellious.
So did the Judge in his late charge to the
Grand Inquest of Taliaferro, recollect what ho
know some 25 or 30 yoaVs ago, that Georgia
nooded a Supremo Court—But like as the
Judge forgot, or was ignorant that the Laws of
Georgia expressly require him to givo in charge
to tho jury, tho statutes against gambling and
trading with slaves—So poor Peter, probably
from tho same cause, forgot, in his dream, that
the Troupers wero always opposed to Jackson,
till Adams would not make Forsyth Minister
to England. We aro told by Physiologists, that
it often happens that when the brain has re
ceived some sudden injury, tho patient may
some tirao afterwards retain impressions mado
before the injury; but with difficulty recoives
new ones.

Bird found tho road all the wav from Athons

LETTER
TO THOMAS TINDAR,
Jones County, Georgia.
Dear Uncle Tom—As you aro a man that
roads a great doal about politics and state affairs,
I want you to give mo your , opinion. You
know I will be twenty-omrjnSars old sornotimo
next month; and, they say, I may vote at the
next election in October. When I wont to see
old grandpapa last week, uncle Harry said
"well Dick, who aro you going to vote for to
go to tho Legislature at Milledgovillo next fall?”
I replied, undo Harry, I don’t know yet, for I
know not who aro ibo candidates. “Well,
Dick,” he says, “I don’t much care who you vote
for, so you will voto for Col. Jourd.m; for ho
is a monstrous fino man; he is good to the poor
folks; ho gives us as much whiskey and brandy
as we can drink, and lends us money whether
wo can pay it back or not—it' makos no differ
once,—and ho says, ho i3 a farmer, and, if. wo
will elect him, he \vdl make laws to suit us, poor
people; and you know that’s tho sort of a man
for us.". Well, I rejoined, uncle Harry, I reck
on I will vote for Col. Joundan; for I want to
vote for tho best men if I can find them out.
When I came homo undo Ned ivas at our
house, and I told him what unde Harry said
about Col. Jourd in; He observed, if I voted for
Col. Jourdnn, I wa»a fool; for, lie continued,
when Col. Jourdan did a servico for the
state, ho bad more pay than other .people. Ho
had, ho continued, just been reading the Jour
nals, whore the commissioners went into tho
Nation to try to break Crowell; and that he
saw in them, that, before they staitcd, they drew
four hundred dollars on tho 20th day of Juno,
to pay their oxpences. By jing, says 1, that is
a heap of money for four or five men to spend
on one short journey. “But, (says he,) Dick
that’s not the worst; for tho Journal says, that,
on the I6ih of July, Col. Jourdan drew fqr ser
vices rendered nnd exponces, tn-o hundred and
forty-five dollars nnd thirty-seven cents, besides
his part of the four hundred dollars that they
took with them." ' So wo counted up the time,
nnd it was only twenty-six day; and I reckon
tho Colonel was at home part of that time; so
ho must have charged ten dollars a day or there
about, besides his share of tile four hundred
dollars. Now, if ho should go. to tho Legisla
ture and bo such a monstrous smart roan, it may
be that ho will put it into tho beads of the Le
gislature men to chargo tho stato ten dollars a
day apiece, and have their expences paid be
sides, and, if they were to do that, it would
inako a devilish- hig hole in the money box.—
Uncle Ned said “it would take more than one
hundred thousand dollars a year to pay the
Legislature men at tint rate; and then we
should havo to pay double taxes." Now, undo
Tom, you know more about these things than
any body elso; and I want you to writo mo a
letter beforo the election comes ou, and tell mo
how I ought to vote.
• Your Nephew,
RICHARD TINDAR.
.. ^ tfr But we rather suspect, that, whon
QoT ■ 'J le 6 00 ^ n ®s* of George Wash- the Troupers saw that the people were iwlig-
" orth tho paltry sum of fve hundred nant at the course thoy pursued, and thoy would
man. Ho was also aware, that, if even crimin
al specifications h.td been advanced,mo atone
ment from Mr. Poe could bo obtained except
by legal adjudication: for it would be murder
ous to insist upon honorable satisfaction from
a man whose laxity of muscle would need a
stump on which to steady his arm. This is
no exaggeration—would to God it wore other
wise. Tho pour being, tho wreck of what
might once have been useful, is so abandoned
to that dignity of feeling which is inseparable
from manliness, that, but a few evenings ago,
bo was seen reeling in a congregation engag
ed in tho worship of Almighty God; und his
visits to bagnios are so notorious in Macon, as
no longer to occasion excitement.
This exposure is not made to indulge ma
levolence; hut to let the people, at a distance,
know what injuries Mr. Poo lias received from
tho columns of tho Macon Telegraph, as woll
as to enable them to judge how far its editor
and all concerned in its publication aro bound
to pursuo insignificance for tho purpose of re
venge. It will also aid them to form some es
timate of the polico of a town supposed to con
tain upwards of two thousand inhabitants.
Tho wretched creature would never havo
been honored with a lino in this print, had it
not been for tho importance with which tho
office of Intcndant has invested him. While ho
fills that station, he must expect the scrutiny of
bis official conduct; for it is the principal ob
ject of every independent paper and the. right
of every freeman to wat:h the vibrations of
tho public’s servants; and it will be hard to
show cause why Mr. Poe sbouldbe an excep
tion.
The veil of mercy is for the present thrown
over his conduct of 30ih ult. which he has had
neither tho ntettlo to justify nor tho magnami-
ty to explain. * Ho may continue to signify
his running a man out of the'officc of the Tele
graph, who at tho time was absent from the
county, but indications similar to those which
wore on that dity exhibited there must not bo
repentod: a law, superior to that of congregat
ing, demands thoir repression. This is tho first
notice that has boon taken of his private con
duct; but whethor it is to be tho last, is left to
his own discretion. . HOMO,
COL. DUNCAN G. CAMPBELL.
Madison Springs, 23d July, 1827.
Dear Sir:—From the length of our acquaintance
and steadiness of friendship, I considered it due to you,
a few days boforc I left home, to intimate .the proba
bility of my being compelled to decline a further con'
test fnrthe office of Govt mor of the State. I am now
enabled to say that the matter no longer rests in pro
bability alone, and I announce to you, and permit me,
through you, to communicate the fact to our fellow ci
tizens, that I am no longer a candidate for such distla-
guished favour; - • • *
If tho nomination which placed mo before tho peo
ple, had been brought about by any solicitation or a-
gency of my own, then I should have felt less reluc
tance or hesitation in retiring. But proceeding as it did,
from the free will and'confidence of many friends, it
imposed an obligation which I did not feel at liberty to
resist.—Under the circumstances which then existed,
adischargc of the duties of tho olEcc, would not have
been so materially interruptive of paramount consi
derations. ffcich is not the case now. A necessity,
from which 1 cannot exempt myself, requires that I
should spend a portion of tile next winter out of the
state-—and what is of more consequence, tho present,
and prospective health and interest of my family re-
juiro, that my attention to them, and to my own nf-
airs, should be constant and exclusive. Tuthe liber
al and ingenuous, my apology will bcsulficicnt; and to
exactions, merely capricious, I am not bound to con
form. As the honor which was intended me, was
high and distinguished, the impression which it has
mode, is permanent nnd grateful.
Between whomsoever the competition maybe con
tinued, I cannot forbear the expression of a hope, that It
may be free from the strife nnd Asperity heretofore
manifested, and which are a “reproach to any people.*
I am, dear sir, with great consideration and esteem
your most oii't serv’t.

> WASHINGTON POE
Macon 2nd August 1827.
Of the abuse complained of, which by im
plication must be personal, the undersigned has
no knowledge. It is true, that a call was made,
through thu Macon Telegraph, for the motives
which influenced the Corporation to give the
building of a public edifice to an individual
williout having previously iuuod proposals;
but that call, though firm, was decorous, and
was entitled at least to civility. Instead of re
moving tho raystar/ in which this business of
tho public was involved, an exposition whs
withheld, and Mr. Poe pleased to apply to the
writer of the call the terms "turbulent spirit"
nnd "vulgar imagination." This was abuse,
personal and unmerited; yet, so far from imi
tating the high precedent set by Mr. Poo, the
writer in question confined his subsequent
strictures and interrogatories to matters con
nected with the public. He, in no instance,
separatod Mr. Poe from tho municipality; and
had no inducement to act otherwise. Ho
know that a latitude of observation was as
necessary to tho franchise of printing as the
freedom of the pross is to civil liberty, and
that no charge, unless of falsehood, dishonesty
or infamy, preferred against him as an anony
mous writer, could injure him as ft private
