Tell it not in Gath! Publish it not in the streets of As- kclon!” The man who could vote medals and swords to the officers of the last war—who could give to Lafayette two hundred thousand dollars and an immense territory of the public lands— because it was pupvhr to do so—scorns the venerated memory of Washington, and object:', to giving $500 to preservo his sacred relics!— I had rather be a dog and bay the moon, than such a Roman." But his friends say it Was un constitutional—Forsyth no more thought of the constitution, when he abused Washington than ho did, when ho entered the foregoing pleas, person, to an honest and conscientious demand, and tho two cases speak as litttlo for his head as they do for his heart.

And, by tho act of 1819, (La- Dig. 28,) they aro expressly recognized lorporationand part of the University, and ' ed to uso a common seal. Taking there- repeated recognition by tho legislature, long acquaintance of tho community as t evidence of the fact, I am compelled Ider the Trustees of It climotid Acadc- corporate body, with all the powers inci- o such an institution; and besides, in the it instance tho defendant has under his treated with them in that character, and, her a corporate body or not, thoy are by iprcssly authorized to sell tho lands upon lit and the very note now tho subject of ilf, was given for some of these lands.—- then in that character a right to sell, tainly must have the right by tho snjno sue for, and recover tho money. The second objection has no foundation A corporation aggregate must appear lorncy, becauso it is impossible for it to ir in person; and therefore, although be- statuo of Wcstm. 2, (13 Edw. 1,) Ch, It plaintiff and defendant must havo ap- in person, nnd could not have appeared trney without special licence from tho |, yet corporations aggregate did then of no- ity appear by attorney, constituted by thoir ton seal.

GROUND AND LOFTY TUMBLING, REPRESENTING A GRAND POLITICAL 8UMMER8'ET, OR GEORGE M. TROUP 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;. "The Jay Bird died with the whooping cough, “Ladies ar’n'tyou sorry, oh!!’’ SPARROW HAWK.- FOR TUB MACON TELEGRAPH. “A Jay Bird sitting on a tree. "A Jay i m _ h “/ look'd at him, and he look'd at me; "He jumped down upon a limb, “ TAt lightning fashed and wounded him." Old Sons. 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. Wo are at loss to imagine how this Jay Bird found tho road all the wav from Athons FOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH. 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.

The Intcndant of Macon.—As offico gives somo influence, in Iho estimation of society, to every man that can command and combine the modns of elevation, apology is deemed inex pedient for laying beforo tho public tho follow ing bullotin, posted in Macon on tho day of its date: I have Unnoticed the abuse of that Scurrilous paper the Macon Telegraph long enough, & I now pro nounce its F.ditor all Concerned id its publication, vile Scoundrels & abusive puppies, A: 1 do not act that cowardly part es to conceal my name, but I give it o penly St. without fear > 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 - JACKSON TICKET, i .
