1 „;frin<r of one does not imply tho ces-
le Tf another, i* manifest from the law’* pro-
r/a remedy for the recovery of .heir cqu,-
fi wherever they nro rendered for a value,
i Moderation. Thus, the preacher for In*
T^ ,d the htwyer for hi. fee, as well as
mechanic for his handicraft and the plough-
, for Ids labor, have each a remedy for com-
., n- the price of his service.; and though an
!L separate avocations they all aro-alike ser-
I t cannot in law or equity be pretended
“ a.: emtdover of the attorney acquires any
' I over him except to his legal services,
theroneregation hiring the div.no have any
• io his labors except in his sacerdotal ca-
'Dut as all classes of whites are natural-
neers. and in this country invested by law
ill equal civil and political righis, it follows
a truth not to bo questioned, that the ploutrh-
nnd mechanic become in no m inner the
ols or vassals of their employers, but retain
dm plenitude of ihe constitution the indo*
'dent exercise of civil freedom.
Our laws on this point arc explicit. The
is held bv them to bo essentially a free
e,i>, punishable alone for any abuse or delin-
, DC y of Ids volition. For his torts or crimes
employer is not answerable; but he himself
his own person is bound to atone to the in-
ed person, and to bend to ihe violated die-
jiy and justice of the State. From the du'ics
peace and the hazards of war, be is neither
empted by his drudgery nor poverty; and
ir constitution and statutes, in accordance
:h nature and with the polity of free Greece
id republican Rome, of Europe under the
u tbern invaders, and of England under the
i*ons and Normans, consider arms to bo in-
.ntrovertilde evidence of freedom in tho wear-
hold mg it to be unjust and Cruel to peril
war the lives of those who cau lose nothing
the subjugation of our country and gain no- J
ling by the perpetuity of its independence. I
Id it, therefore, to be a fundamental principle
our government and .to be based on expedi-
icy and natural justice, that tho most indigent
Jijte mile citizen in the United- Slates, of sane
jtellcct and not rendered infamous by extort,
rtiripmes, in virtue of hjw, as fully .in civil
iv leges as tho chief magistrate of the nation.
The reverse is a most wicked doctrine, adap-
1 only to tho most abject slavery. To m ike
j« employer responsible for the nets of the
borer, the common jnenns of coercion are in-
leqiw'e; nothing short of the power of life
d death in the employer would be either just
cIToctii I; and the life of tho employer would
io cnutinually in jeopardy from tho acts ofthc
loror, that tho, most oppressive measures
mid be adopted ns means of invention, and
(nod be daily shod without scruple and with-
it ceremony. But such a state of sanguinary
•etchedness is thank God, unknown to tho
.very of nindern'civilizod nations; and it can
ter exist in any country in which any th-nir
;e virtue obtains among tho rich, or courage
evails among the poor.
Vet, that such h servile and bloody princi-
tir avowed by the Forsyth party, wo have
ily to look at the 3Iacon Messenger, to know;
avowed too through a partisan, without an
jwl, as to weight and talents, in his pariv in

[eiicin stylo themselves the only F.postlcs of

idustry, who, they are willing, should fight tho
It'los of the nation, but not enjoy tho privi-
W of the black bondsmen,—on this vnlua-
|o and productive class, tho bone and muscle
’'be country, they will call, and obsequious-
crave their suffrages—with honied words and
das-liko smiles, they Will oxtond the hand of
pt“»dcd equality, and endeavor to barter
jliskev for votes. It will bo then for this
of calumniated freemen to decide, wheth-

that labor disqualifies to tho exercise of civil
fights, would, without-regard to his talents or
connexions, have been ousted from office and
put to the bann of society. Yes; the virtues
of Washington were then verdant in the nation;
and the wretch who would have dared to as
perse his memory, by detracting from his servi
ces, would have been loaded with execrations,
and spurned even by-tlie beggar whose life de
pended upon the precarious offerings of charity.
But those days wore days of simplicity and pu
rity, and have passed .away.
New generations iiavo succeeded the old,
and new principles crept into fashion. The
perpetuity of the Union is no longer a maxim
of our statesmen, but division and insurrection
are openly invoked, and the villeinage s«6 mo-
do of tho laborer is boldly inculcated. The
sanctity of tho marriage s bed has ceased to bo
creditable to our highest dignitaries, and the
infliction of blows and stripes on a defenceless
wife, tho virtuous mother of children, is viewed
as a harmless pastime, if not considered to bo
altogether a recommendation to public favor.
Honesty itself, the strict fulfilment of fair and
valid contracts, has become a matter of so tri
fling importance, that at the very momeut, a
man, offering for the most important station iu
our State and pledging himself to discharge its
functions faithfully, hesitates not in the oponcst
manner, to evade the payment of a privato debt,
incurred for a fair equivalent, by a pitiful tech
nicality. Sobriety in our most exalted officers
is no longer considered decency, nor treachery
and falsehood, vices.
Georgians, look around you. Contemplate
w ; tli impartiality the attitude of our State, and
the public and private conduct of many of our
leading men; and then say conscientiously, if
ye can, that the picture is overcharged, or tho
conduct of thoso in whom wo have too fatally
reposed confidence, is exaggerated. Examine
Troup as the- governor of Georgia, as a hus
band, as a father;—trace the course of John
Forsyth as a member of Congress, as an Amer
ican, as a man bound by law to fulfil his hon
est contracts;—examino the incendiary news
papers in this state and the doctrines they pro
mulgate;—and then solemnly aver, if ye can, that
we have not arrived at a most important crisis—
; say honestly that we have not reached the brink
of -a must terribly important revolution both in
poktxks and morals—say faithfully that the pro
motion of John Forsyth to the office to which
he now aspires be not the most certain and di
red measure that can be adopted for the burst
ing of the dreadful moral and political volcano,
the fires of which are now raging beneath us,
and which bnt need a small accession of strength
to en :ble them to break the surface and whelm
us with their lava.
What benefit, Georgians, can you derive
from such a revolution? Is the morality of the
country, is the unity of the nation, of no rao-
men. vour estimation? Are your own livos, the
lives of sous and daughters, sires and mothers,
husbands and wives not worthy preservation?—
and wll they not be all put in jeopardy the mo-
men* you firo a gun against tho American eagle?
Ponder well on the treachery of tho savages
amon-st us, and remember well the sanguinary
disposition which their race has shown wliere-
evor and whenever they have obtained only a
transient ascendancy. But say that wo have
succeeded in effecting the separation of tho Un
ion,—that tho Potomac oil tho east and the
Mississippi on the west are our established boun
daries,—what single advantage can bo found in
the new arrangement? Will not our burihens
incroaso in a tenfold degree, and the waste of
human life become enormous? Large standing
armies will becomo necessary to protect our
frontiers, not against the incursions of ignorant
Indians, but neainst tho progross of warlike and
disciplined whites, under experienced com
manders, as well as to preserve our internal
you. A similar character has presented him-
solf at your disposal for the office of Governor.
He has grown grey in your servico; and, to this
hour, has never been charged with a dishonest
avoidance of a just debt; but with primeval sim
plicity and truth, been steadfast to hit trust, just
to his fellows, and with an oriental enthusiasm
and veneration, practiced the precepts of the
immortal Washington. Under such a man and
such a legislature, Georgia would retrieve what
she has lost in character, and be restored to
that tranquility anil virtue which she enjoyed
in other days. Practical atheism—the term is
no hyperbole,—practical atheism in our public
men would no longer, by example, counteract
the zealous endeavors of tho Christians in form
ing the morals of our youth, to industry, peace,
honesty, truth and piety. Labor would no lon
ger be considered a disqualification to office,
nor religion to tile developcmcnt of tho mental
faculties and the discharge of political functions.
The halcyon days of democratic simplicity and
purity would again dawn upon us, and light us
to individual happiness and national splendor.
People of Georgia, ponder well on the de
cision which in a few days, you are to give.—
Not only vour otvn happiness, but the fate of
posterity depends upon tjio issue. It will be
worse than idle—it will be mocliery—to erect
churches for the reformation of your families,
and to invoke the God of Peaco^ should you
confer your honors and authority qpou practi
cal atheists denying equality of rights, contemn
ing the obligations of contracts, and breathing
war and desolation.

W HEREAS the Hon. EDWARD F. TATT
NALL elected on the first Monday in Octo
ber, 1830, a Representative from this -State in the
House of Representatives of the United States, for
two years from and after the third day of March, 1827,
has by letter this day received, resigned said appoint

tranquility; and corresponding taxes must bo
levied. For want of seamon nnd naval harbors,
wo will cease to bo felt on thu ocean; and there
fore our comnaorco will be left to the mercy of
every petty power that can fit out a few frig
ates or man a seventy-four. Under such aus
pices can we hope, can wo btdievo that our
commcrco will equal by halfits prosopt value?
Whore wo now pay a cent wo would in such
a state be obliged'to pay a dollar, for the main
tenance of our military force; and With a force
so |iowerful and funds so .great as would abso
lutely be necessary to our condition, what au
thority might not tho men assume having the
management of our affairs? Is such a stato not
to he'deprecatod? Does not our duty to our
selves ami those we huld dear, forbid it? Is not
tho election of John Forsyth and thoso who
entertain his principles, the shortest and surest
way to plung us into it; and what immunity
have wo any reason to expect that they will
leave to us, so soon as they shall by our politi
cal position have obtained the means to keep
us in subjection? Why, (lion, support them,
when such calamitous consequences must-fol
low their promotion to tho power necessary to
tho realization of their avowed determination?
Economy is opposed to their ambition; raorali-
2 is opposed to their tenets, humanity shud-
irs at their intentions; and tho power and
S randeur of the country, must sink forever un-
er tho succoss of their schemes.
Is there no way to avoid this horrible catas
trophe?—no method to preserve peace, cherish
virtue, retain bur individual rights, aud main
tain the dignity of Goorgiu? Yes—certainly.—
Banish from your councils thflt inordinate am
bition which urges every misunderstanding with
the Genornl Government as a cause for war
and separai.on; trust to tho impartial umpirago
of tho federal judiciary; aud, at the next elec
tion of prime magistrate oftho nation, unite
your efforts with the great body of the Ameri
can people in selecting a man free from local
jealousy and anxious only to preserve tho in
herent rights of tho republic in all its members.
For this purpose the aspect of the times is pro
pitious. The popularity of Jackson walks with
the stride of a giant and the nimbleness of a
deer. But to secure to him your suffrage, men
faithful and true must be sent to our legislature
—men whose past life is an assurance of their
TATTNALL’S RESIGNATION.
Middletown, (Conn.) July 23, 1827.
Sir—A continuation of ill heahh, which roil,
ders doubtful the prospect of my being able to
assuma the discharge of my duties as a Re
presentative iu Congress front Georgia, nt
the ensuing session, requires that I should ten
der to your Excellency, my resignation suf
ficiently early, to admit of tire vacancy being
filled. At the same nine I fool it my duty to
state, that nothing but the hope of being able
to be at my po3t during some part of the last
session, prevented- my doing so at an earlier
poriod. In withdrawing from the public ser
vice of my fellow-citizens, (to whose unwind
ing and kind support I Iiavo boon so much in
debted) it is impossible to express the feel
ings which tho occasion excites. I have in
deed no little consolation in the reflection that,
although Georgia has many citizens, who would
have-represented her in the National Councils
witli far more ability, she has none to whom I
would yield in fervent nnd faithful nttachment
to her welfare. I beg your Excellency will
permit me to take this occasion of expressing
to you, the sentimen s of high respect and es
teem, with wh.fh I am vour obedient servant,
EDWARD F. TATTNALL.

A few Facts for the People of Georgia, Men
of Enterprise, and the City of Charleston.
T HERE is no mistake in the position, that the
' “ Brunswick Canal Company" now possess the
constitutional and delegated power to sell the traile of
Savannah to the city ol Charleston; provided the lat
ter would purchase the rights and privileges in ex
change, and assist, either by taking np the stock, or
nidhig the said Company in their laudable enterprise,
by giving countenance to such po(igy as may lead to
success iu procuring the means from individuals, to
effect the excavation; and the complete revolution of
trade tliut would be produced thereby, would, irre
trievably, acquire for her, an immense increase (un
molested liy Savannah,) from the interior of her own
state, the back counties of North Carolina, nnd all the
north and east side of Georgia. This would be an ob
ject of no small importance to Charleston, and that
perpetual.
That the Brunswick Canal Company possess the
power to sell the trade of .Savannah, in the above way v
is indisputable, from the position and geography of the
country, the rivers, ana the increase of population,
agriculture and wealth of the westesn counties of
Georgia; and the more contiguous and superior ad.
vantages of tho bar, harbor, and healthy situation of
Brunswick, of easy access, over that of Savannah for
the chief emporium of the state; and the highest agri
cultural and commercial prosperity of those western
counties, together with the easy practicability of cut-
tiqgttie canal. The trade and exports of Charleston
must therefore be increased, let who will cut the a-
foresaid canal; which object cannot bo prevented,
except by filling np the bur and harbor of Brunswick,
and stopping the increase of population and agricui.
tun; west of the Oconee river; and also the flowing
of that river, together with the Oakmulgee and Alta-
malia into the Atlantic Ocean.
This Brunswick Canal is note a subject with which
the state of Georgia has nothing to do. The rights
(being upon the only route for a canal tn Ihe state that.
will ever pay the interest of the money for cutting,)
are no longer “state rights,” but the rights of the
’• Brunswick Canal Company."
It is not expected that any would embark in the en
terprise without/rit sending an agent to examine the
route and surrounding bearings of tbo country, nnd
the practicable advantages of Brunswick, to render
the canal a permanent and lucrative undertaking—
with whom I would co-oj*rote. All I require, in case
tha object be approved of, is a security bond to cut the
canal agrecablo to the chart w, nnd the reservation of
thirty shares, of §100 each, of the general stock; or
82100 In cash out of tho instalments, for the cost of
winding the institution; and let those who might so
purchase the sold chartered lights and privilege, keep
the management of their own funds, and the direction
of the work in their own hands; that there maybe
no door opened to a deception of confidence, nor to
disappointment.
Nothing sustains Savannah, in keeping the brand
interest or a large majority of the people of Georgia
olid the state, in the back ground, but tbc ignorance,
parsimony and treachery of certain old men, who can
not live long, in the southern counties about Bruns
wick : and the want of enterprise and capital to assist
in cutting the contemplated canal, (for steam boats,)
of only twelve miles and a half excavation, from the
Altamaha, at Clark's bluff, to Turtle river, at Cowpen
creek, through a level soil; the principal material of
which is z.’.tf'clay, nnd the cost less than $200,000;—
at the head of which creek, there is eight feet water
at neap tides, where the canal will disembogue. I re
fer the reader to tho map of Georgia; where be con
easily trace tho points to be connected by excavation,
and nave a tolerable outline viow of the situation of
Brunswick, and tho maritime and geographical bear
ings of that port (the noblest in the southern states,)
towards the vast and fertile country, rapdly iincreas-
ing in population and wealth, on the north and the
west.
If a steam boat can run from Mobile, and ascend the
Chataboochy to Fort Mitchell in four days, which is a
fact, and has been recently dono for the first time; and
that at on unfavorable stage of low river, under'all the
necessary caution and incidental delay of the first ex
periment of the kind, it simply prove* another fact: to
wit, that when the channel of the river becomes belter
esplored and improved for navigation, a steam boat
might run from the Falls of the Chatnhoochy to Brun
swick in three days, through the contemplated Florida
Canal by the General Government; and in the lame
time, back orforth, from Mobile to Brunswick.
The undersigned challenges proof to show, from
geography, rivers, bars, harbors, population and agri
culture; and the natural advantages here pointed out.
with the assistance of a little enterprise and practical
art; together with the highest permanent interest of
the state, (and particularly of the western counties,)
that the above facts are not as legible upon the-face of
the country, as the nose on a man'sown physiognomy.
Should any fee! a want of conviction upon the a-
bove practicable facts, for want of the right kind of
foresiglited knowledge; or from the influence of self
interest, to the great injury of the state, or long estab
lished erroneous sertionaf prejudice, It is expected they-
will give reasons, instead, of mere assertions, for de
murring to the most prominent natural advantages of
the country; and that Charleston and Brunswick are
not destined, by the God of Nature, for the two only
main commanding points of agriculture and com
merce in the southern states I That Is, within the lati
