IN your paper oi’ the 27th June, I otftrve a query
in thele word ;
“ Art frequent, edclions of real service to a nation ? ,}
The affidavit of Mr. Glen in tite fame paper proves
the affirmative > an inllancc is there produced of gentle
men high in the confidence of the people; highly hon
ored by the Hate ; who, when it luiteci their imereH,
prevailed on the weak members of our legislature to be
tray, their trail; gave them bribes, to per.me thendeivcfc
and nun their country !
The next election enabled the people to turn out their
bctrayeis; chute legihators with more caution, and
defeat the plans of our Princes ; who uied their influence
to corrupt jocietv, vs ho for gain woiud entice tiieir 1
fcliow-ereatures to perjury and heif !
O, great men ! seven feet of ground is all that many
of you now possess ! and alas ! after having drawn many
of vour fellow-citizens to perdition, seven feet of ground j
•viii fiuiice. the remainder oi you in time 1 iTiux of !
the-terrors of etemit and repent.
Now, my fellow-citizens, who felt such general in
dignation ar. thele proceedings, remember tue worthy
characters who exerted them!elves fuqpeisiully for the
people : The man who would not drir.k them health on !
the coming fourth of July, is no patriot.

SATURLrJT, EVENING, Jolt 2. 1803.
Mon day next being the annivtrlary of the Americat?*
In ependence,—a NEW YEAR’S DAY in the annab
of oar nation, we have anticipated the Publication of
the Republican, on this day, that tne f?.credncls> of that
hol of Liberty may not be profaned.
\V 1 this day conclude the publication of the docu
ments relative to the sale ofthcpubliclandsof this Hate by
the legislature of the year i**94. This was perhaps tlx*
molt imjuilitiable trajdaftion tliat the people of Ameri.
have witnclfcd in any of their leg illative bodies; at lc n.it
favors more of bnberv and corruption. Acts more v .
ous to the Feelings ot tree men may have been prb.vv
by fohn Adams’s majorities in Congreis; but none cv,
bore io bare-faced an appearance ot tacrificing all claim
to private integrity. Here is prefeiited one of the motl
Itriking examples ot the propriety, and even the necePuy
o* frequent elections ; liad thele representatives bee.?
i elected as i:i Tennelfce for two, and theie tenators
in Yirginiu for four years, it is probable that fraud wou’d
cventuaih have triumphed, and the immente tradl ol laub
now attached to this Hate and belonging to its cituciw,
wonid here been cngulp.hed in the vortex ot t peculation o>
with the additional lots to the people of Georgia of luc
lum, obtained from the United States.
Great praite is due to the gentlemen whose zeal ar. S
exertions for the character and mtereH the Hate, ha*
been d;reck’d to the prevention, detection and unveiling
of this feene of bribery and peculation- It is to the rc
that is due the merit of preserving to this Hate and the
United States the immente traA of country in quell ion.
By that fraudulent tale Georgia was to receive Lot
500,0010 dollars. The United States are to
1,250,000 dollars to Georgia, and to extmguilh t..e
Indian ck im to that part of the .welt c l lands of Georgia
not relinquished to tne I’nited States.
The fo.’lowing gentlemen were members of the
legislature in the year 1794, and ftrenuoully opposed.
the difgraceful oft, and joined by the exertions ot other
patriotic charadars in the ensuing legillature. they d
fectuallv redeemed the character oi the Hate from the
abyss to which it was funk by that measure.

Georgia governed by rulers of integrity and pat
riotism and swayed by julliee rather than policy, is as
suming a proud llat.ion among the {lutes. Her geo
graphical extent, like her wealth, exceeds that of any
other dale in the.muon. She pohetfes by computation
upwards of twenty millions of acres of land under In-
I difcn claims, which are to be extingiulhed by the United
j States. This land upon an average, cannot juftiy he
valued at less than two dollars an acre. Georgia k* in
habited by about 170,000 people ; of whom about
20,000 art free men and citizens. This land, divided
upon the principle adopted by the late law of this iiate
for difnoimg of the the track, from which the Indian
title had been extinguished conformably the engagement
of the United States, would give each citizen O*E
thousand acres ! It cannot then be denied that a
citrzenfhip hi Georyfia is more valuable than any
oilier Hate.
