REPUBLICAN.’
SAVANNAH September 26, 1806.
>¥il>BHWW )Wir ‘ 1l I I I
THE ELECTION ..On Monday the 6th
of October, an Eledtion will be held through
out this State, for Members of Congress, and
for the State Legislature. On that day, RE
PUBLICANS ! it will become you to declare
to the world your ilrength ..on that day be at
your ports, exercirtng the inestimable RIGHTS
of FREEMEN ..on that day, convince your
opponents that you are zealous in a good
caufe...that you are mighty in [Length...that
you are a free and independent people—that
you are not like the poor subjects of a Tyrant,
debured from the privelege of feledting your
owd law-makers.
Repo B tic an s ! fuffer not the artifices of
your adversaries, to weaken your zeal for the
REPUBLICAN TICKET, of this County,
for members ot AlTembly.. .the ticket is truly
Republican...they would fain persuade you,
that one of tK candidates is not genuine...be
hove them n0t...d0 not be deluded by futh
absurd rumors as have been set on float...this
is done to divide your votes...he is a firm fup
■porter of your rights...a {launch Republican.
Tire next Legislature tv ill be an import
a ‘•: one, therefore, v.e ought to feledt men, in
whom we the molt unbounded con
fidence...men, whole conduct convinces us,
that they.are fnpuorters of the interest of this
flute. “ Native,” iaas already informed you
that the next Legislature are to appoint a Gov
ernor, to succeed Mr, Milledge, appointed a
Senator to the United States, in the room of
tire late G i.eral Jackfon...and further, that
the fame Legiflaturo are to appoint an United
States Senarm, from the 4th of March next,
for fix years.
Vi’e are pe.faaded, Republicans, that you
have drank out of th; cup of Liberty—that
you are convinced of the blessings of a free
government —that the otiftance of the govern
ment under which you live, depends upon your
choice of men to represent you in the Councils
of your Country—to whatever attainments we
have already reached—attainments ftiii higher
lliould be perlued—let us, therefore, be unit
ed—let us, ttrive with becoming emulation—
let us, with fervent zeal, press forward and
support the Candidates proposed.
VVe have often heard men fay, that they
cared little about Elections—such men we
would refer to the following extract—an ex
tract, which, we trust, wilt be read with inter
est by eveiy friend to this country. —
A good Conlti.i'rion is the greatest blef
fttig which a society can enjoy. Need L infer
t: eL it is the duty of every citizen to ule his
heft and moft unremitting endeavours for pre
ierving ir pure, healthful and vigorous? For
the accoiupliifiment of this great purpose, the
exertions of no one citizen are unimportant.
I.etno one, therefore,harbour for a moment,
the mean idta, tiiat he is and can be of no value
to his country let the contrary manly im
prefiion animate his foul. Every one can, at
many time-:, perform, to the state, uieful ser
vices ; and he, who steadily pursues the road
of patriotnra, has the moft inviting profpedl of
King able, at feme time, to perform eminent
oars. Allow me to direst your attention, in a
very particular manner, to a momentous part,
which, by thiSjConftitution, every citizen will
frequently be called to ad. All those in pla
tes ol power and trust will be elected either
immediately by the people, or in such a manner
that their appointment will depend ultimately
on such immediate eledion. All the derivative
movements oi government mult fprirg from
the original movement of the people at large.
If to tilii chey give a i'uflicient force and a just
direction, all the others will he governed by
its controuling power. Tofpeak without a me
taphor, if the people, at their eledions, take
care to choose nor.e but reprefenta ives that are
v ife and good, their reprelentatives will take
care, ill their turn, to choose or appoint none
but Inch as are wife and good also. The re
rn. ri: applies every fuccee- ir.g eledion and
appointment. Thus the charaders proper for
public offices will be di.ffufed from the imme
diate eledions of the people over the remoteit
p: rts of the adrniniftration. Os v.hat immerse
■cc-’fequence is it, then, that this primary duty
fiiGoln be faithful!) and fkilfully difeharged !
Or: the faithful and fkilful difeharge of it, the
public lu-ppiiiefs or iufeiicity, under this and e
verv other constitution, must, in a very great
meafwe, depend. Per, believe me, no go.
vermnent, even the best, can be happily ad
niinittered by ignorant or vicious men. You
will forgive me, 1 am fare, for endeavouring to
impress upon your minds, in the strongest man
ner, the importance of this great duty. It is
the firft cennedion in politics; and if au error
is committed here, it can never be corrected in
any lubfequent process: the certain conse
quence must be disease. Let no one fay, that
he is but a single citizen-; and that his ticket
will be but one in the box. That one ticket
may turn the eledion. In battle, every lol
dier should confidor the public fafety as depen
ding on his single arm : at an eiedion, every
citizen Ihould coulider the public happineis as
depending on his iingle vote.”
Are you now, reader, convinced of the
importance of your vote ?...if you are not, read
ita t ain...ii ycu are, no longer harbour the ab
surd id: a, that a single vote is of no confe
quenre ; but ever thi .k that your vote is to
turn the eled.m:.
WHILE we <Jct. fi the principles
c c a Tyrant, we ccramifierate with his
j our subjects—there lot is not call ia a
land of liberty, but that of (Every—
laiicraoic o.- I Can any candid man
contiaft the affairs of England will
those of America, and not fhndder at the
vast difference i We think not. Why
then are a set of men in this country
constantly endeavoring to scatter Biitifh
principles among us i Why are they
driving to contaminate the principles of
the American youth ? It has ever been
allowed that England is the moll de
praved country in the world. Her in
habitants are ruled by a Tyrant—her in
habitants are compelled to obey the nod
of a despot—the poor laborer in that
country, though honell, is deprived of
his right as a man—he is clalLd with
the Swinish multitude —which multitude
support the idle Nobility in their de
bauchery—which multitude are loaded
with taxes. Miserable men—miserable
country ! ! A.n Englilh writer, {peak
ing of his countrymen, lays,
“ If the people will be enfluv’d, let them he
euilav’d.”
Look upon the affairs of Ameri
ca—not lo on these Republican—these
happy shores—here, the poor are on a
footing with the rich, as respects the af
fairs of government, (except among
the dibffecttd)—here, every man enjoys
his earnings—here, we are governed by
] men of our own choice -men,
friendly lo the cause of Freedom
here, the arts and sciences flourilh under
the foltering hand of the goddess of li
berty—here, the ojprelfed of other na
tions, find au asylum. Where tyranny
b-nr lwav, there it tlie country for vice
and ignorance—where Republicariifm
prevails, there is the country for fctence
and virtue.

ExtruS of a letter from a gentleman in New-
Orleans dated, August 22d to his friend in
in this city.
“ On Tuesday last we had a very severe
thunder storm and lightening. By letters recei
ved yesterday, it is Hated, that the Governor of
Taxus, with about 900 Spanilh troops, had
palled the Sabine river, and had advanced with
in 12 miles of Natchitoches...that Major Por
ter had sent a flag enquiring their intention;
their answer was, tiiat they would occupy their
former position, and not adi on the offenfive !
It is the opinion of the writer, that an adtion
| bet w een r-ur troops and them has taken place
before this, Uriel's the Spaniards have fallen
buck. This intelligence you may rely on, it
was forwarded by an exprels to Fort Adams
from Natchitoches, report, fays, that the
troops have been ordered from Fort Adams.”
Dr. Kunze acknowledges the receipt of a let
ter fron: Baltimore, with the inclofure oia bill
of exchange for five hundred guilders, for Ulm
sent in conference of his tianftation having
been inserted in the newspapers of that city.
Dr. Kunze would here oiiferve, that aitho’
a guilder is about 25 cents, it is at the present
in Germany, ol as much value as a dollar in
this country ; he therefore takes the liberty of
reding, that all donations, however small the
sum, will be received with thankfulneft, and
tranfiintted with fidelity, to the unfortunate
and diftrelTed iufferers.

Caot. Berry, who arrived yesterday
from Hsvannah, informs, that on the j
27th nit. Lime Britifii privateers landed
a number of men upon the Isle of Pines,
took the fort, and plundered the neigh
borhood of cattle, Sic, This, with the
appearance ot Lveral large ships off the
coast, had excited very considerable a
iarm among the Spaniards, who marched 1
i a few men to the fccr.e of devallatiou, I
| but before they had an opportunity of e
j voicing their prowess, the British had!
j embarked without molellation. The Vcr.i j
,Cruz ship which was lately captured by i
I the Britifti, off the Havaunah, had on
i board at the time of her capture 900000
I dollars, the property of individuals;
; 250000 dollars, belonging to the king
j had been landed

On Saturday arrived here the (hip Fe
lix, captain Ross, from Nantes, which
port die left the 20th July ; we have
received no papers by her, but the ver
bal information which we obtain from
an intelligent pafl'enger, is in (übftance
to the following effect.
Peace had been ta’ked of, but had
not induced any {peculations founded on
expectations of that event. The gene
ral opinion was, that there would be no
peace immediately. It was said that
the French Emperor had given in his
ultimatum, wlm h was in terms that it
was not luppofed Britain would accede
to.

; with the Felix. D’Ubriul the Ruffian
envoy had reached Paris.— Ahout 18000
Italian troops, which had been for fonie
time ftatiuned in Nantes and its vicinity,
had been suddenly marched for Bayonne,
fiom whence they were to proceed to
Spain in order to co-operate with a
force deilined against Portugal.
