The mellow Clouds, the mellow Clouds, That skim along the sky, Liko spirits in their airy shrouds, Seeking their homes on high; How oft, in childhood’s hour I've bent My eyes upon their forms, Their changing shape, and varying tint, Portending droughts or storms; And wept, I could not take my flight Up to those regions fair, To bask amidst the golden light Reflected sweetly there.— But, far above the Clouds, and skies, 1 feel there is a homo, To which at last my soul will rise, Wheu God shall bid it come. Oh! if our eyes could pierce the blue, beyond the golden clouds, And bring the georgeous realm to view, That Deity enshrouds: Would earth upon out brittle throad Its fastenings long retain?

Given under my GOVERNOR GILMER [from THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.] A brief Review of the Administration of Gov ernor Gilmer—By a Troup man. Tho conduct of public men being at ail times n legitimate subject of full and freo investiga tion, under all governments founded upon tho principles of constitutional liberty, the writer avails himself of that privilege *to scrutinize the acts of tiio present executive administra tion of Georgia. In tho outset, he fuels it dee to his excellency, to the public and himself, to premise, that in the remarks which he may make upon tho course of this administration, there is nothing of personal hostility entertain ed towards Mr. Gilmer. Tbe object of this essay is nut to vituperate his reputation os a private citizen, but to shew from the policy which he has adopted and pursued as o public agent, that ho 1ms on sonio very important qucsiions, wholly mistaken, not only tho opin ions, but the" interests of his constituents— and that whatever talents he may possess for tho public service in another department, himself and his friends have greatjy mistaken his qual ifications for the office which tio now holds. That tho public may arrive at just conclusions upon nil the important matters connected with his administration, it is proper to go back be yond its commencement, and look for a mo ment into tho canscs which brought Mr. Gil mer into office. 1 alludo to tho unprovoked attack made byMr.-OHmtt' onTSTrTTorsyth in tbe spring of 1829.—That controversy was sought by Mr. Gilmer, nnd what nro the facts connected with ii? Tiiey ore these—In the fall of 1828, Mr. Gilmer was elected to Con gress. Upon a return of the votes, at tho ex piration of twenty days from the election, Governor Forsyth, in obedience to a luw of the Stale, issued bis proclamation, tequiring the members elect to signify their acceptance or refusal, to serve the Stato in Congress, that they might be commissioned in terms of the act aforesaid. Mr. Gilmer from some una voidable or wilful cause, failed to comply with the terms of the act, and did not signify his ac ceptance within the time specified by the act.— Governor Forsyth, in Obedience to its manda tory provisions, ordered a new election, and issued his proclamation accordingly. Tho virulent manner in which Mr Forsyth was at tacked by Mr. Gilmer, is too fresh in tho pub lic recollection to require further notice: Whatever may Iiavo been the motive of Mr. Gilmer for provoking tho conlroveisy with Mr. Forsyth, subsequent events have satisfied me, and must carry conviction to the public mind, that it was tlto commencement of a sys tem of operations intended to bring himself into tlio cxccutivo office. He succeeded, not ■James b. smith, with the will annexed. *'T)iO!11AS . : ,1.. inferior court of Ilibli county; v* Gardner, And William Scott anil HobeiVWirdsong sc- NOTICE.

FlTCil A- WORDIN’. only ;n enlisting his own personal and political friends and his “friend’s friends’’ in the cru sade against Mr. Forsyth and Maj. Crawford but by some sort of legerdemain, some art i hocus pocus, the great body of tiie Clark par ty was rallied to his cause, and Mr. Giliner came into office, by u higher veto, than any otiier man from tho people of Georgia.. Having him now quietly seated in tho Ex ecutive chair, let us proceed to the history of his administration. Tho first act Which de mands a passing notice, is his inaugurarad- dress, id Which lie declared emphatically that lie considered lumself “the Chief Miiglslrato of the State and not of a party. In nil tho ap pointments it becomes my duty to make I shall attempt to be governed by no other consider ation than tho public sorvice.” This decla ration was received by the Clark party wilh emotions of pride and satisfaction— 1 They hail ed the period of his administration as a polit ical jubilee, and confidently expected to be re- gurded by his excellency, as a portion of the body politic, nothing doubting, that for the 18,000 votes cast by them for Mr. Gilmer, they would receive a’fair equivalent of Ins pat ronage. IIow that debt has been paid is well known to the public, end the Clark people have runt; the changes upon it to his heart’s conto'nt. I do r.ot assert that Mr. Gilmer, either in his person, or through his friends, or his “friend’s friend’*” did hold out promises to the Clark parly, bntthis I do know, that when the Statesman Ai Patriot came out lot him,' umong the reasons it ossigfted for its coursu, it wns said, if Mr. Gilmer should bo elected, ho would net liberally towards that party, or Wtirtls importing the same moaning. Now, as fuels speak louder than words, and as this statoment was mado by the Clark papers and not contra dicted by Air. Gilmer, or his friends, - it is a fair presumption ihat all understanding exited between them, or that hitmelfand his friends acted I ypucritically in allowing the leaders pf tho Clink party to hold out false lights to their people. Mr. Gilmer and his friend* may t»ko uiiher Inirifofthe dilemma tnl tl »ir position will be bv no menus enviable. This subject is. Vol. V-—No. 38. referred to, to show, that Mr. Gilmer did ente r into a combination with the Clark party* which he intended to violate, or that he suffer ed a hoax to be played off upon them for his own benefit. Is it an article in Mr. Gilmer’s political creed that faith should not bo kept with heretics. From the day of his inauguration nothing transpired to call forth the boasted talents and energy of bis excellency until tlio winter of 1829, and 30, when tho precious metals hav ing been discovered in great abundance upon our Cherokee soil, great numbers of people from Georgia and otiier States rushed to the Territory in search of its treasures. In h short timo several thousand hud assembled, and such a scene of plunder, such an outrage upon tho rights and tho interests of our people has never been committed withiu the jurisdiction of our State, since its first organization. Ilcie was presented the fairest opportunity for the exerciso of executive energy—The country looked to him and him alone, to interpose his nrm for tho protection of her violated rights. Day after day, was the public eye anxiously directed toward the executive, and tho ]>ublic car in hourly expectation of a command to put down and abate the nuisance. When the pub lic voice was clamorous for redress, wiiera was the boasted energy of Governor Gilmer? Did iie order out the militia, did he tnnkc one men- —■Uy^'clTiirt to save the property of the people? ■ No. Tlio outrage was every day increasing,, 1 until tho public inind became so much excited, that Mr. Gilmer found it necessary to arouse from his slumbers and look into the matter. He forthwith examined the constitution and the law, and although he discovered in that portion of tho law derived from the mother country, that tho minerals belong to the King, yet ho not being a king, had no power to pro tect them. He could find nothing in the c(In stitution and laws to authorize the employment of force, and what should have been the alter native? The answer is (hat ho should hnvo convened the legislature—and if rumor ought to be trusted, that measure would have been adopted if too much regard had not been paid to tho preservation of his popularity. But tlio Legislature was not convened, and tho outrage continued and increased. The people vvero still clamorous, something must le done, and something was done which will bo remember^ cd by the people of Georgia as tbe most striking act of imbecility which has ever been commit ted by a Governor of our Stato. I allude to tiie proclamation against the Gold diggers is sued simultaneously, with that which extended the jurisdiction of tho Stale over tho Chero kee territory, and the* train of measures by which it was followed. Jn Ihat proclamation the Governor commanded ail the officers both . civil and military to be aiding and assisting in putting a stop to gold digging upon our Cher okee Territory, and when tiie writer saw that proclamation he fell a reviving hope that effi cient measures were about to be .adopted. Du*, that hope was soon to be disappointed. For it is a fuct, which I record with pain and humiliation, that in obedicnco to the Gover nor’s mandate, in compliance with the provi sions of that proclamation, u respectable militia officer, residing inn county adjacent to the scene of plunder, did forthwith raise a com pany and proceed to tho spot for the pnrpiise of protecting tho rights of his fellow citizens—^ Did ho succeed?—Yes, lie succeeded ib a short timo alter his arrival in finding himielf and his men, prisoners to a detachment of the United States’ army, then stationed in the neighbor hood of tho gold mines—Yes, fellow citizens, a force raised by virtue of tiie Governor’* pro 1 - clamation, executing the orders of tbe Chief Magistrate of the State, upon our own soil,' . within our own jurisdiction, disarmed and made prisoners "by tho Federal Troops. These things nro truo and must be spoken, hut, I blush for the honor of ftiy slate, when I speak of them: Here was presented another Strikihg occasion for tho exercise of tho hold uud energetic qualities of which we have heard soinilcti. Weic they called into action? VVcro tlio Feddcral Troops ordered to leavo our soil? Was the arrest and punishment of their officers demanded by Governor Gilmer? No. All this indignity, nil this violation of personal and sovereign rights was permitted to pass unheeded und unaltered, and the officers and mon who suffered thi* outrage were o- bliged to submit without even the hope of re dress. Tho next step which followed this mosi “lame and impotent conclusion,” was tlio notable scheme of reading off tho intmders, by tlio Governor’s agent Col.-King, and the ser vice of a hill of injunction upon them. This bill of injunction having been served on some small number among the thousands (hen trespassing on tha territory lived until it was dismissed at tho September term of Hall Court, to which it was returnable, on tho ground, ns tbe writer has understood, of want of jurisdiction. Tiie exasperated feelings of the community could not call up tho etecutiVo energy, and the territory continued to be inun dated by thousands from all quarters. Tho sumiuor past away, the autumn Came, nnd tho trespass continued.—Th« pres* groaned, and the pcoplo complained, when on a sudden, n.' if aroused from his lethargy by some powerful excitement, his Excellency issued his procla mation convening the Legislature on tho 18th of October, just two weeks earlier than the day fixed by law. What new discoveries he made, what better reasons he could find for convening tho members at that time, thnn had .existed throughout the whole period, from-tbe preceding April aro qnestions which would puzzle himself und his trionds to answer. But, let us inquito what good resulted from this\mticipation of tho tegular session of the Legiriaturef Ifany good has been the result, I have been unable to make the discovery. That sunie loss was tlio rr suit cannot ho de nied. That tho expenses of the extra tiro weeks sesMon wero a dead loss to the Stale nj nearly twenty thousand dollars, will hardly ba questioned. The extra scsiou was ostensibly called for the purpose of enacting laws for t'na protection of tho gold mine-', but no ‘ a ' v on that subject was passed until after the. |ierio<4 for commercing the pog'dar aam al lossico. ms C&Jl . .-I So pi 1
