If then, it shall be found that the laws are
not particularly violated, ,n either person or
property (and if there are grievances, you are
hy opth, bound to make enquiry and due pre
teminent) and that your private confracls, are
generally carried into efTed. coercive
measures, it mull fie a pleafu/g* fatisfa&ion to
the people ’at large, and all'urd to the citizens

ot thole to whom tly execution of the laws are
entrusted, more easy : and efpeViaffy when by

The forpriug of Jour county fchoo’, under
authority ,°f the Legislature, from the funds

demand your earliest and decided rfuemion—

and (lmplicily of the chriftian religion A re
’ Jigiem that appears to me, Well defervin<r the
countenance and support of all good men
however, they may differ as to modes of faith
or worlh.pol the Supreme Being-and Ruler of
the Lmverle-yand, that a .reli'igious conduit is
not only necessary to ourselves, but a perma
nent requifne to the support of good order and
government, is finely and emphatically expreiT
ed, by the illustrious patriot, President Wafh
mgton, in his farewell address, whose words
I take the freedom to tranferibe, as being for
\cibly applicable to the present. occasion.
... “ *3 al * ,?ir dispositions and habits which
lead to political profpeniy, religion and mo
] rallt y are tnd if pen fable fapports. In vain
“ would that man claim the tribute of patriot
“ ilm, who Ihould labour to-subvert these great
pillars of human hzppinefs, these firmeft
‘‘ P ro P s °f the duties of men and eftizens. The
mere politician, equally with the pious man,
, t ought to refpeft and to cherish them. A
[[ volume could not trace all their connexions
“ w'tb private and public felicity. Let it fim
.“ P ! y hr w here h the security for prop
t; crt Y for reputation, for life, if the sense of
religious obligation deferti he oaths which are
‘‘the inftiiMnents of invelligation in courts of
ti juft'ce ? And let us with caution indulge'the
“ fuppofitips, that morality can be maintained
without religion. Whatever may be con
“ ceded to the influence of refined education
“ on minds of peculiar ftruclure, reason, and
|| experience, both forbid us to expett that na
“ tional morality can prevail in exclusion of
“ religious principle.”
“ ’Tis fubllantially true, that virtue or mo
(ality, is a tieceffary spring of popular go
‘ vernment. The rule indeed, extends with
“ nl °rc or less force to every species of free
|| government. Who that is a linc.ere friend
to it, can look with indifference upon at
‘‘ lrrri pts to shake the foundation ofthe fabric.
Promote then as an obj"flof primary impor
“ tance, inffitutions for the general diffufion of
“ knowledge. In proportion as the ftrufture
“ 3 z government gives force to public opin
ion, it is essential, that this public, IKould be
“ enlightem and ”
These (entiments being bottomed on princi
ples that will bear the tell of enquiry, cannot
but delerve our moll serious attention.
WE the Grand'Jurors for the Body ofthe
County ot Effingham, have made enquiry into
the situation of the Academy, and find that the
want of a fufficient number of CommiiTioners,
hath been, the cause that nothing has been dune
in that very laudable inftimtion ; There were
five gentlemen appointed, two of whom have
resigned, the remaining three met once, but for
the want of the papers did no business ; and
through foine disappointment, have not since
met.
We therefore recommend, Joshua I.oopcr,
and John London, Esquires, be appointed by
our next I.cgiflature, to fill up such vacancy ;
that business of such importance to the rising
generation may not be impeded by the ficknels
or absence of one man.
We recommend to our next Legislature, a
revifal and alteration of our present road aft,
(or many take advantage of its not being cx
prefliye, as to the fines imposed, whereby our
roads in the lower part of t'ie county, are al
most impassable.
We lament the failure ofthe Treaty with the
Creek Indians, on the part of this (late, and
are lorry to have too much reason to attribute
it, to the federal Commissioners and agent of
Indian Affairs ; as by their conduit, the Com
missioners on the part of the (late, had not that
access to the Indians which their appointment
entitled them to.
We recommend to our next Legislature, to
investigate the business, and grant redress as far
as is-coniillrnt. with their federal relation.
We take this as the earliest opportunity that
has offered to congratulate our fellow citizens,
for the annulling of that iniquitous Yazoo Law,
winch at once (truck at our rights and liberties,
which (had it not been annulled) would have
brought our posterity into abjefl slavery, mak
ing thousands tenants to the posterity and af
figm ol a few crafty’ men, by which means
elections w’ouid not be free, and our govern
ment ultimately turned into arillocracy : We
therefore fincerelv recommend our fellow citi
zens to be careful in their next choice of repre
sentatives, to avoid any, that have dipped their
natids or money, in the Yazoo waters, forit-ia
reasonable to believe” thpy will ,

Mrjfrs. Powers d? Seymour,
IT is very painful for a young man,
as I am, to be dragged into the
Newspaper, byjr quarrel of others, and if
my reputation fvas not violently atiack
ed, I Ihould not have troubled the pub
lic with any obierrations in answer to
Mr. William Smith, of Savine Grove.
But when any man snail dare to fay,
he can refute my oath, and thereby cor/
via me of perjury, silence would be a
crime against myfelf, and altho’ Mr.
Smith,> maybe of opinion, that I havs
yet a reputation to ejlabt jh, yet I will
convince him, and the world, that the
reputation I have, is to me of jfoch value,
thflt it (hall not be impeached, nor torn
from mi, in luch a manner as attempted,
nor impaired by luch means.
Had Smith a charader of his own,
hi would know the value of it, and dread
the attack he has made on yonno man,
against whom the underwritten believes
the tongue of malice,, has not until now
sported with.-
Had Mr. Smith, any objections to
my declarations of fatts, he has had an
earlier and better opportunity than the
prefent, l and before the dispute between
him and Mr. Wayne, had proceeded to
such lengths, to come forward—this will
appear by the following letter, which I
wrote him so long ago as the 15th June
last.
# Savannah, 15th June , 1796.
Sir,
AS I perceive by your very imper
tinent letter to Mr. Wayne, under dare
of the 12th inst. a very ungentcel attack
against myfelf, your faying you ever
sent a mefiage of the nature you men
tion, to Mr. Wayne, byhis clerk, is
falfe, as I was to the heft of my memo
ry, theonc that handed you the accounts
at the time you mention. You iikewife
fay you wished the accounts to be exam
ined (altho’ the account had been fettled
years before, by a note of hand, signed
by Mrs ; Smith, the Executrix.) —Yet
to oblige yourfdf and Mr. Moore,
Mr. Wayne inftruded me to go through
the books with you and Mr. Moore, for
your particular fatisfadion, which was
accordingly done, and you both found
every thing to your (atisfadion, and
acknowledged the. fame in my presence.
In the next place, you deny ever as
suming the payment of the note, due to
Mr. Wayne, for balance of account due
him, by the estate of Paul Porcher. I
fay, your now denying the alfomption
of that debt, before me, in Mr. Wayne's
Counting-]loufc, on the 22d day ot
April 1791, is denyingwhat I will i wear
! that you have said, and thereforefaljs
1 Nay further, at the fame time and place,
you positively and solemnly promised
‘Mr. Wayne, in my presence, to pay the
snote yourfelf, if the elfatfe of Paul Por
cher, was not fufficient todifeharge if-
You likewise fay, you were not present
at the time of the signing the note,
which you muftbe convinced is falfe•
