TO THE TAX PAYING PEOPLE OF
GEORGIA.
Id the Enquirer of 34$ February last, I gave yon

exorbitant taxation, to redeem the Government,
nd the public faith and credit of the Slate, from the
ecklesa plot of a aacret committee from Savannah,
and Wilson Lumpkin, when Governor in IS34, to
deeply involve * the whole people of Georgia” and
the rising generation in one general labyrinth of finan
cial involvement and depression, for the construction
of a Rail Road from Savannah to the Tennessee river,
at Ross’ landing.
In that communication I gave it as my deliberate
I—inion, from ocular examination, that that part of
the said route for a rail road from DeKaib county to
Ross’ landing, called the ’’ great Slate work, or grand
trunk,” will never pay the expcmie of keeping np the
locomotive engines and cars, much less any profit on
the cost of four or five millions of dollars (if it is ever
completed) by swindling die contractors and laborers,
or by levying an exorbitant lax on the whole people of
the State. One of the above modes is now the only
alternative (in addition to what lias been already ex-
i The wise, the patriotic, and the impartial editor
will, therefore, begin to see the indispensable necessi
ty and his public duty to “Os people, to change—not
the system, but the place of beginning to “ illnstr ale
Georgia,” by abandoning for the present, the flowers'
fading leaves, and the toy of the tree, as it were, and
commencing upon the corruption and corroding disease,
which baa already undermined, sapped, and paralyzed
the roof, prosperity of the people, and the financial
foundation of the whole fabric. CONSERVATIVE.
CELEBRATION
Of the 65th anniversary of American Independence,
at Plkasakt Vali.IT Academt, Stewart connly,
Georgia, on Friday, 2d Jnlv, 1841, at which time and
place were present a large and respectable assemblage
of ladies and gentlemen, citizens of Stewart county.

FEDERALISM—DEMOCRACY.
The bases of Federal principles and policy
is an assumption of the utter corruption and
degeneracy of human nature. It rests on
the presumption that all mankind are radical
ly depraved, and its result is to make them
mere so than they ate. Hence, its appeals
to the lowest nnd meanest propensities of
mankind; to soidid interests and ctimitial ap
petites; to the love of gain, and the gratifi
cation of the senses. The leaders and or
gans profess a sovereign contempt, not only
for the morals, but the reason and intelli
gence of the great mass of the people. The
patent of nobility, the claim to honot and
distinction with rheni conies, not from hea
ven but from earth. It is not tfcc gift of
God, but of the king. It has nothing 'to do
with the exertions ot genius, or the practice
of virtue; but depends altogether on the ac
cident of birth, or the caprices of fortune,
which supply the place ot ail other personal
and intrinsic claims to distinction.
Federalism, which is but another tiamo (or
aristocracy, assumes that the mass of niau-
kiud, who’contribute, by their labors and ex-

tain that he has a far greater interest in pre
serving this free Government in.its original
purity than the rich man, because the latter
b naturally inelined towards institutions
which secure to hint more thau the just and

He does not lile to see others who have not
the same worlfcly advantages, enjoying the

j Fellow Citizens: In accordance with former cus
county to Ross’ landing, at an expense of notlcs3
wo millions of dollars more.
r the publication of my report over the s : gua'.ure
onservative,” in the Enquirer of 24th February
I saw the report of Major Joel Crawford, chipf
State commissioner, published in the Southern Re-
er of March 2, in relation to the aforesaid “ grand
> trank, ' from which report, I extract the follow-
verbatim : the Major says, “ The utility of a su-
ucture upon only forty or fifty miles of the road,
r judiciously determined without duly re
garding its present isolated condition.
” This State work has ever been considered as a part
of a great system of internal improvement—connected
as it is like to be, northwestwardly with the Hiwassee
Railroad—with the contemplated branches to the bead
of the Coosa—to Huntsville and to Washville, and
v.-iih the navigable water of the Tennessee; and to
wards the southeast, with branches to Columbus, to
Macon, and to Augusta, it is not easy to narrate its*
value to the commerce of those rich and populous
countries whose various wants it is destined to supply.
“ I cannot admit even the probability that the • West
ern and Atlantic Railroad,’ in a most perfect condition,
will ever yield in tolls sutficifcm income to pay the dai
ly expense of keeping car trains in motion, much leas
to reimburse the expense of construction, and bring
profits to the Government.” S’gned, Joel Chavv-
ronn, rrcudent of Road Commissioners.
Will the tax paying people of Georgia wait for more
light on this vital subject, until it is beat into them and
the rising generation by “ a great system of exorbitant
taxation—which the Legislature now lias no other al
ternative but to resort to, under its domestic taxing
powers of the constitution—or suffer the State to be
carried headlong further and further into public dis
grace and bankruptcy ? What man, or Georgian, who
has auy rational sense and public integrity upon .the
subject, can evpr expect to see those “ contemplated
branch rail roads to the bcid of Coosa river—to Hunts
ville—to Washville, and to Columbus ?”
It is all a wicked delusion, to fool nnd involve .the
people and the rising generation with such reckless
paper projects, baser! apon their liberty, industry, ami
taxable resources. We nbw just begin to see and fefi
the fr.uit (and more bitter has got to cpmcj of Wilson
f.utnpkiu’s administration as Governor, with Ills.sorrel
(savannah committee, aod the head-mep of jhat party
.in the Legislature, from 1834 to 1839.
The ringleaders of the celebrated old “ Yazoo act”
•vere entitled to more lenity from the people for their
.State corruption and )>olitical fraud, because they, only
attempted to swindle the people out of their then un
defined public domain, which they had then never seen
nr. bestowed upon it the "sweat of the brow.”—
Whereas* the .administration of Wilson Lumpkin, anJ
lii.v secret Savannah committee, will now inevitably
result in literally robbing the whole people of Georgia
and the rising generation, of a large portion of tlicir
labor nnd annual industry, by excihitaut taxation, to
construct a worthless rail road from DeKaib county to
Ross' landing; and thiscis only on?.moiety of the evil
sud public robbery that will come upon the people in
five or six years .rnarc, from .the corrupting effects of
that adininirtrttrol:. •
It was a part of the plot of that administration,
which originated ill the city of Savannah, to stud the
State with rail road Banks, which, being followed up,
was ingrafted upon the people, andjh.e produce, labor,
and property of the State, at tin' session of the Legis-
'lature of 1833. Whether or not that “ great system”
of Banking was finally fixed upon the mass of the
I>coplc by briuc-y and corruption in the Senate of
.1835, the writer lias no posh.’, ye f>roof;.biU this much
is the fact, as will now show upon the journals, to wit.-
The bill to incorporate the ” Central Rail Road
Bank” al Savannah, with a branch at Macon, passed,
the House of Representatives first, and when it came
up for a third reading in the Senate, it was lost on a
Saturday, by eleven votes majority.
Its friends, therefore., .li ; ad from Saturday until Mon-
day morning following, -to effect a change of some six
or seven voles in the Senate, in order to obtain areran,

tyranny, and asserted the rights with which God and
nature had invested them and decreed their just inher
itance—when tlic voice of the American people, by
the mouth of their delegated sages in continental Con
gress assembled, declared that these United Stntesare,
and of right ought to he, free, sovereign and indepen

our fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor to support that Declaration. Still do

the pledge—rStill do their bosoms glow at the story o-
their oppression, exult in their success, weep over
their misfortunes and contemplate with admiratiou
their unshaken constancy and more than Roman virtue.
In that gloomy period when scarce a ray of hope
gilded the dreary prospect—when alicentious soldiery
had laid waste our devoted fields, pillaged our villages,
conflagrated our towns, butchered our citizens, viola

butchered,scalped and consigned to the flames of their
own dwellings by the merciless baud of the foi est
savages,, who, in conjunction with the mother country,
had lifted the fatal tomahawk to complete die destruc
tion of American .liberty, but all was vain. America,
though weak in conquest, yet mighty in her own de
fence, groaned for a spell beneath tlic load of her
oppression, but her mourning was not without hope ;
and in the fuRness of the time when the helm of affairs
Seemed to glide to and fro without an helmsman, the
immortal Washington was brought forward—entrust
ed with the chieftaincy of the American army, he re.
paired to the .seat of confusion, threw liimself at -the
bead of bis distressed brethren, and led them on to
victory and to glory; nor was he alone—the farmer
and .mechanic, acting in concert with all classes, ages,
and, might 1 not say, sexes, rallied around the standard,
headed by the invincible leader, bursted asunder
the chains of their oppression, drove die demagogues
from their cities and released ihpir devoted country
from British thraldom-

now a mighty and prosperous nation, not inferior to her
sisters Jn point of literature, equal in philosophers,

Federalism believes, or effects to believe,
that intrinsic at.d accidental advantages con
stitute the sole claims to superiority. An
acquaintance with certain artificial modes of
life; the fashion and material of tlie gar
ment; the art of managing the silver fork;
and going through, with credit, all the un
meaning ceremonies of what is called fash
ionable life, together with the possession of
money or credit sufficient to command these
high requisites for distinction, constitute, in
their estimation, the great claims to the
privilege of governing mankind- Manners,
not morals, with them, are the test ol merit.
Artificial graces supeiccde natural gifts, and

their view, a far greater object of admiration
than the man who has civilized a nation by
his wisdom, or saved a State by his valor.—
They would go farther, and give more to
bear Pagan ini. or see Fannt Elsler, than
to pay their devotions at the shrine of
Washington. With them the useful clas
ses of society, who supply the essential wants
of life, are objects of contempt and scorn,.
while they run wild after those who can con
tribute to the gratification of their vanity, or
help them to murder a few hours in vapid
amusements, equally destructive to the en
ergies of the mind and the vigor of the body.
The theory of Democracy is, on the con
trary, based on the assumption of human vir
tue. If erroneous, it is a great and noble er
ror, since nothing is more certain than that
men will never pay the homage of the heart
on the altar of a divinity in whose existence
they do not believe. -Those who have no
faith in .human virtue, will never practice it
themselves, nor give credit to its exetfcise in
others,.since no man will make that the ba

acts of others, which he believes in his own
heatt has no existence. Nay, we will go
farther and maintain that, to divest human
nature of the attributes of virtue, is to deny

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS. '
Notwithstaodiagthe Constitutional mianm-
| ly of the liberty of the press in this country,
there are these among us, and not a few
either, who would so limit, define and cir
cumscribe the exercise of the right, as to
render it practically non-existent; and either
destroy the utility of the press, or convert it
into an instrument of evil—not a light to il
luminate, but a cloak to cover over the dark
deeds of iniquity. Wc may justly boast of
the liberty enjoyed by the press, it liberty that
has its foundation in the fundamental princi
ples of our civil fabric, and that has struck
its roots deeply into the constitutional soil of
every State in the Union; but however just
ly proud we may be of it, we must not sup
pose it is ours by such a firm tenure, that we
are in no danger of losing it, nor that there
is no cause of fear on this head. We appre
hend no present danger, nor any near at
hand ; but when a disposition adverse to that
liberty is kitown to exist, when au under-eur-
rent of intolerance is known to be rturning
through certain parts of society, aud shew
ing itself above ground only when it is either
forced out, or when it is deemed safe to e
merge; then ought the friends of the press,
of its liberty, its rights, aud of tlie rights and
liberties of man, to resist all encroachments,
whether great or small, momentous or appa
rently trivial, iu timely resistance alone is
there safety ngaiust oppression and tyran
ny. The oppressor usually works by
degrees; the tyrant monarch not unfre-
quent'y condescends so far, in the way of
apparent respect to his people’s lights, that
he does not at once deprive them ol' all. in
truth, he who would enslave his fellow men,
must accomplish tlie work gradually, depriv
ing them of their liberty by piecemeal, re
serving .his coup de main for some favorable
opportunity ; aud it will aid greatly iu tlie
accomplishment of his purpose, if lie work
his way through “the the forms of law,”
either bv legislative enactments, judicial de-
c sion, or legal opinions supported by prete-
j lionate terms, and is another evidence of the
i purity and power of woman's love.

At length he received a letter from Mi. All

aud stating that she had sailed from Charles- !
ton some two weeks previous, in a vessel j
chartered by him on purpose to convey her I
to New York. Not receiving any tidings ol [
her arrival, he was anxious to learn the !
cause of her silence.
What had occurred to delay the vessel?
why had it not arrived ?—these were ques
tions which Burr could ask liimself, but no
one could answer.
The sequel is soon told. The vessel never
arrived, it undoubtedly foundered at sea.
and all oil hoard perished. No tidings have
| ever been heard respecting the vessel, the
j crew, or the daughter of Aaron Burr—all
j were lo-.t. This last sad bereavement was
only required to fill Burt’s cup of Sorrow.—
“ Tlic last link was broken” which bound
him to life. The uncertainty of her fate
but added to the poignancy of his gnef.—
Hope, the last refuge of the afilicted, became
extinct when years had rolled on, and yet no
tidings of the loved and lost one were gleaned.
Burr lived in New York until they car 183G,
(we believe) when he died. The last years of
his life were passed in comparative obscurity.
Some few old Irietids, who had never wholly
deserted him, were his companions; they
closed his eyes in death, and followed his
body to tlic grave, where it will rest till the
trump of the. Almighty shall call it into judge

Now, fellow citizens, ill ■ order that the liberty we
pqjov may yet be retained with firmness—that the
purity of its principles may not be peri erted, and its
inestimable benefits torn from our posterity, it becomes
our indispensable duty to watch with arduous .care
over the cultivation of oar minds.-'Freedom and intelli
gence are twin sisters—they are inseparably connect
ed—-Jhe ignorant alone arc subjects of slavery, nnd
they aloue can be reduced- to it. Just for a moment
let your imagination cross tlie briny Atlantic, take a
limited view of the enslaved thousands.on its eastern
shore, » ho are wholly subservient to the will of tyrants:
ask why it is that that devoted people do not, by one
general and united effort, disband the usurpers .of their
rights, annihilate their nobility, who treat them as
slaves and make themselves a free people; The an
swer is easy. They are ignorant, the veil of ignor
once is ingeniously spread over them, and the motto
of their nobility is to darken rather than remove it.
Then, as it is a settled point tnat ignorance is the beat
en road to slavery, how careful should we be who en
joy the sweets of liberty, to hand down the boon to our
rising posterity., With what diligence and alacrity.wq
lead them along the shining path of geieuce, wherein

The State Government, aud the “ whole people of
Georgia,” are certainly in a very bad road, into which
they were first thrown in 1834, under the administra
tion of Wilson Lumpkin and his secret Savannah
committee, and we must now all extricate ourselves
ana the Government as well as we can.
It is food for us to look back and see tlie way, and
by whom the people and tlic Government kave been
brought into tbeir deep and vital difficulties of public
disgrace and State bankruptcy, that they may be the
better enabled, at the next election in October, to pro
vide some way of men and measurds to get out of the
wrong road, and redeem the State and toe Govern
ment as much as possible.
If ever there waa a time since the *• Yazoo act,”
when the State and die Government of Georgia re
quired the right sort of “ illustration before her
•• whole people”, it is the present.
We have noticed *he public press, without distinc
tion of political party, have been liberal aud laborious
in publishing pieces headed “ Georgia Illustrated.
Such a system of truth and correct illustration is, at
this time b‘*hly commendable and desirable ; but a

men of that party and Governor McDonald, have, ever
since 1834, and are now, only following the public
( corpse or the Government, and tlie equal rights and
prosperity of the people down to the public grave ol
distress and exorbitant taxation, with the “ grand
State trunk " and the rail road Banks as pall bearers.
The time has now arrived when Georgia must be
illustrated ” in oae way that cannot be avoided ; .i«r

A NF.JV AND UNEXPECTED CANDIDATE FOR
the Presidency.—On Saturday last, a man
evidently .disordered iu bis upper story, pre
sented liimself at the While Housp, anti with
much vehemence, both in manner and speech,
put in hts ciaim to hold the office of Chief
Magistrate of the Union. The persou gave
in his name to the magistrate as John Henry
Haitpt, of Virgiuia. He is a German, and
maintains that he is the veritable President
of the United Slates, and will eject the pre
sent iucutnbem in a few days, with tlie aid of
a numerous Army, Sec.—Nat. Intelligencer.
Doctors differ.—When Gen. Jackson
took leave of public life he said, “ 1 leave
this great country prosperous and happy,”
Air. Van Bitten, who immediately succeeded
him, in a recent letter to the loco foco mem
bers of the New York legislature, spekas of
“ the extensive universally conccc. id embar
rassments” by which he was surrounded
when be became President. Now which was
right, “Doctor Jackson or Martin Van Bn-
ren? One|nmsl be whicl^.s t
it from his Maker, by whom it was vouch
safed, and deface every feature of that like
ness in which he was originally created. A i
greater heresy cannot, therefore, be commit
ted against the Divine Being, and the Divine
Word, than that of denying the existence of
humaD virtue.
But, although the Democratic principles
are founded on a belief in the virtue aud in
telligence of man, they are not so visionary
as to.reJy on these alone for his general con
duct through life. They know that, amid
the incitements of the passions, and the
temptations which it is his destiny to encouu
ter through every step tu his pilgrimage, that,
it would be unsafe to Iree him from all je-
str iints except those of conscience, and -that
his innate sensb of tight is not always a suf
ficient barrier against the temptation to do
wrong. Heuce they recognise the neccs
sity .of guarding Ibe weak from the oppres
sion of the strong, and the inexperienced
from the acts of the trtiry and unprincipled.
In shot?, Ihey do not believe all mankind are
viituous, or that virtue every where predomi
nates over vice, aud lienee they recognise the
necessity of laws for the protection of per
son and property; in other words, to restrain
arid ptrhish the aggressions of the strong ou
the rights of the weak.
Wc believe the universal submission of all
civilized nations to this great necessity of
protecting the persons and property of indi
viduals, to be the most unanswerable pioof
that can be offered of the predominance of
virtue over vice in this world ; because, had
the vicious every where constituted a majori
ty, they would never have voluntarily sub
mitted to be restrained in -the indulgence of
their prppupriWties, by a system of laws cal
culated to circumscribe q»d (mnish them—
At the same time, therefore, that government
affoids evidence of the necessity for restrain
ing the-wickedness of a portion of mankind,
it demonstrates that a great majority is in
clined to the side of virfie, since it has every
j wltere assented to voluntary -Sentiments on
the selfish principle, which is the great
prompter to outrage and wrong.
The Democracy Joes not, therefore, re
comrise the pretension of the aristocracy,
that a'l.the viittie and intelligence of a com
munity or a State is monopolized by the
minority; because, if such were t,he case,-
this minority could not, in the original forma
tion of the Government, lime, enforced on
the vicious and .ignorant majority, either by
persuasion or violence, a system whose sole
object was to. restrain its own excess. The
majority must have given their assent, and
that assent demonstrates that they felt a cou-
viction of the right, and of the duty of sac- i
rificing, to the good of the whoje., a portion
of their individual freedom from all legal re
straints. Hence there must, of necessity, be
a predominance of virtue over vice, in every
people, which voluntarily submits to a system
of Government, devised for the protection of
the weak against the sttong.
The Democracy believe that a Government
nt war with right reason and the opinions,
rand views, and feelings of mankind at large—
: are held by some- in as much, reverence as
| the Bible, and as binding on human being as
1 even tlic Decalogue- Some persons have
actually more regard ior obsolete judicial de
cisions, than for tlie dearest of those ac
knowledged rights of man, that are here held
to be inalienable ; aud they will cling to their
old notions with as much tenacity as a mono
maniac to Ills one idea, even though the whole
world may have gone out of sight in advance
of them. Let such an one be placed in a
situation to act on the liberty of the p ess ;
what would be the character of the action to be
expected at his hands ? Suppose he should,
by implication, deny the right of the press to
question the conduct, or inquire into the mo
tives of men in public stations ; suppose that
while compelled by the action of the press to a
public explanation of his conduct, lie should
endeavor lo guard against the impression that
the ptess had any terrors for him; would not
any person of ordinary mental faculties in
stantly perceive, that he was at once afraid
of the press and opposed to its liberty ? The
inference would be irresistable, especially
when the promises were to be taken in con
nexion with animadvetsiotis on the latitude
alleged to be assumed by writers for the pub
lic. Give the adequate power to such per
sons, and the press would not grow much
older, before it -wonid find itself compelled
to ask leave to sjieak. Carry out the princi
ple, give it full scope, let it operate to its
most ample extent, and what would be left
of the liberty of the press ? Nothing—not a
vestige—not even its ashes. It would he an
nihilated, consumed in tlie vengeful fire of
a power anil a principle allied to the “ pow
ers and principalities'’ ot Darkness, so utter
ly opposed to light, that they hate even to
hear ol its existence anywhere, and can by
no means permit it to shine in their own
domiuious. Forourselves, we protest against
this spirit and the power which, if it could,
it would exercise; and we shall at all times
resist lo the utmost stretch of our ability,
such tyranny over the mind of man, let it as
sume what lornt it may. Whether it come
in its native darkness and deformity, ot as

Mr. Jeffersou’s opinions on this subject at
one time and at another: though (ifwe may
pardoned the intrusion here of an abstract
sentiment) wc would not give a fig for any po
litician that has passed fifty years of age
without finding something itr liis youthful
opinions to reconsider and change; and we
know not why Mr. Jefferson should be deni
ed the benefit of a privilege which almost
every other ntaniu the world has found cause
to claim and lo exercise—the privilege of
being “ wiset to-day than we were yester
day.”
We have state 1 a fact, on authority upon
which entire reliance uiay be placed, viz.
that when Mr. Madisou’s signature of the
Bank bill of 1816 was condemned in conver
sation in his presence, Mr. Jefferson with
great emphasis vindicated Mr. Madison, and
said that the General Government must have a
Bank so long as the States isere suffered to
have them for that ihe General Government
could not gel along tcilhoul one.
Wc are now enabled to present evidence of
a nature to satisfy every reasonable mind,
that Mr- Jefferson did, three years at least
before Mr. Madison's signature of the Bank
= w bill, declare the constitutionality of a Bank
it appears Tu au assembly of the people or in u f ih c United Stales to be a settled question.
