MR. CLINTON’S CANAL REPORT.
The first thing which arrests the reader’s
attention in this Report, is the cheapness of
the estimated expense. If a Canal that is to
be five feet wider than the great one of New-
Vork, can be durably constructed on the route
surveyed by Mr. Clinton, at an average ex
pense of S 8000 per mile, it is certainly an
auspicious omen, not only to the enterprise
of Mr. Jcnckes and his associates, but to the
whole commercial and agricultural int. rests
of the State. We have, on a former occa
sion expressed our belief, and we are still of
the opinion, that the navigable waters
of Tennessee may be connected with the At
lantic, by means of a Canal 30 feet wide, at
an average cost of §BOOO per mile, exclusive
of aqueducts.
To what height embankments may be made,
or to what depth a Canal may be cut, for 10,
13, or 20 cents the cubic yard, is yet, in this
State, somewhat problematical; not so much
on account of the peculiarities of our soil, as
the untested measure of efl'ect, which those
equivalents of labor, among us, w ill produce.
On the whole, we look upon this It port, so
far as we understand it from the printed copy
before us, for we have seen no two that exactly
agree, as a careful and minute exhibition of
levels, admeasurements and details, sufficient
ly systematised and intelligent, to vindicate
the high opinion we entertain for the skill
and judgment of the Engineer; at the same
time, that it affords his employers the princi
ple data to be relied upon in the examination
of their enterprise. We are, however, con
strained to believe, that if Mr. Clinton had
been left to the unbiased expression of his
judgment., in suggesting the probable advan
tages to be expected by continuing the pro.
posed Canal to some point beyond the Alta
maha, he would not have failed to take Darien,
Brunswick, and St. Marys into the scope of
his reconnoisance.
The building of the Canal under considera
tion, is a private work, undertaken at privatf
expense, to build up, not Darien, nor Bruns
wick, but Savannah. Nay, it will operate as
a kind of whip-row that w ill filch away from
the former pi,ice the great benefits which
would otherwise necessarily descend thither
through the Altamaha. But, from the mo
ment a Canal navigation is opened from any
point on this river directly to Savannah, Da
rien will have no power to entice the trade
and produce of the West to her own market,
being effectually cut off by a channel of easy
communication to Savannah, which experi
ence has shewn to be inconceivably more
profitable and expeditious, than by natural
w aters. For the people of Darien and Bruns
wick therefore, there will be no alternative
but in the wisdom or magnanimity of the
State Legislature, to grant, or exercise the
power of cutting a “a grand central Ca
nal,” which ‘ball disembugue at, or near one
ol these places, and divide with Savannah the
trade and produce of Georgia, and the adja”
cent States of the West. An act authorising
the survey of such a Canal, passed at the last
annual session, providing as far as possible,
that the operation of its benefits should be
equally distributed. It will be the duty of the
Board appointed to superintend the operation
of this act, to consult the prosperity of all,
with the least possible prejudice to any.
We copy the following from the last South
ern Recorder.
'f o the Editors of the Statesman.
You, gentlemen, seem tostand for
ward as tlie avowed champions ol
the majority of the Legislature who
passed the District Law, (familiarly
termed.)
I propound to you the following
questions, and respectfully ask a re
ply :
Ist. Do you believe the law in all
>ts provisions to have been made in
pursuance of the Constitution of the
United States ?—lf so,
2d. How do you reconcile the act,
or that part of it which seeks to limit
a Representative to a certain Disrict,
to that part of the 2d section of the
Ist article of the United States’ Con
stitution, which authorizes any per
son to take a seat as a Representa
tive, who shall have attained the age
of 25 years, and who has been seven
years a citizen of the United States,
and when elected an inhabitant of
the State for which he is chosen ?
It is b lieved by some, that your
knowledge of constitutional law, to
gether with your powers of argu
ment, will enable you to satisfactori
ly explain and support all parts of
rise act as constitutional.
Please favor the public with your
Views' upon the precise question
made. BALDWIN
These questions, bating a little irony, are
very civily propounded, and we shall endeavor
is civily to answer them.
The Constitutionality of the law in ques
tion, must be tested by a reference to the Con
stitution itself; which begins and ends in
language, as follows :
“ We, the people of the United
•States, in order to form a more per
fect union, establish justice, ensure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defence, promote the gen
eral welifare, and secure the bless
ings of liberty to ourselves, and our
posterity, do ordain, and establish,
that all Legislative powers, herein
granted, shall be vested in a Con
gross of the United States, ’ and thai
“ the powers not delegated to thi
United States, by the Constitution
nor prohibited by it to the States,
are reserved to the States respec
tively, or to the people," the only
legitimate source ot the powers
that be.
Now, that the States have never surren
dered, but do still retain the power of elect
ing their own Representatives in their own
way, is settled, we think, most incontroverti
bly, by the uniform sentiment and practice of
the States, generally ; for it is under the di
rect operation of this law that most of the
States uniformly elect their Representatives
to Congress. It is also evident from the lan
guage of the Constitution itself. — u The times,
places, and manner of holding elections for
Senators and Representatives, shall be pre
scribed in each State by the Legislature there
of.”—lt is furthermore evident from reason;
that the people should, and will forever con
tinue, to hold inviolable the only attribute of
sovereignty which they have reserved to them
selves, —the power of choosing their own
Rulers and Representatives, in their own way.
The sam reasoning that would prove it un
constitutional to elect Members to the Na
tional Legislature by Districts, would also
prove it unconstitutional to elect Members to
the State Legislatures by Counties. Suppose
this, also, should be contended for, and it may
with equal reason—that, for the sake of “open
ing a wider field for the display of talent,” (to
use a writer’s argument in the Georgia Journ
al,) representation by Counties should be
abolished, and the law —making power of the
State, given at random to men of whom littl
could be known, except they possessed, as the
above w riter again says, “ a desire to occupy
a high and elevated station.” But, in grati
fying the modest ambition of such, the will,
and the rights, and the security of the people
arc to be chiefly consulted.
The fault in the mode of election by Gen
eral Ticket, is its liability to operate unequal
ly ; as for example—Suppose our whole dele
gation to Congress were elected from the
County of Monroe, would the people of Sa
vannah and its vicinity feel no apprehension
for the faithful consideration of their interests
in the National Counsels? On the other hand,
if our whole delegation to Congress, or a ma
jority of them were chosen from Savannah,
what security w ould the Counties of the West
enjoy that their rights would not be overlook
ed ? In short, we should view the principle
of electing Members to our State Legislature
by Genera! Ticket, as not more objectionable
than that of so electing Members to the Le
gislature of the Nation.
To return, however, to a difficulty proposed
in reconciling the doctrine of a Districting
Law, “with that part of the 2nd Section of
the Ist Article of the United State’s Consti
tution,” which defines the qualifications of
Representatives to Congress, and is in these
words—(and not exactly in the words and
sense delivered in the question,) “No person
hall be a Representative, who shall not have
ittained the age of twenty-five, and been se
ven years a citizen of the United States, and
who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant
of that State in which he shall be chosen.”
Now, if our Districting Law elect a Repre
sentative having the full measure of these
qualifications, the law itself must be consti
tutional, and vice versa; —besides that, the
instrument itself soli mnly declares, that “the
enumeration in the Constitution, of certain
rights, shall not be construed to deny or dis
parage others retained by the people.
Should w e seem to our interrogate!’, “to
stand forward as the avowed champions of
the majority of the last Legislature,” in their
passing of this Bill; jet, it does not follow,
therefore, that we consider all their act? equal
ly wise ami expedient. When an important
dill is put upon its third reading, the cry
among both its advocates and opposers is,
“now let us bear a hand,” and when, like
Virgils Grecian horse on entering the devoted
City, its progress is debated at the walls ; all
fly to aid, or impede its passage, —some seize
upon the rope, and others fasten upon the
r heels. We recollect, that when the Mexico
Atlantic Bill was turning upon iU third read
ing, some careful soul, afraid, lest the State
should come to harm, under the strict expres
sion, “the powers granted by this act shall be
literally construed,” moved with great earnest
ness to amend the same, by inserting, “ th>
powers granted by this act shall be libearlly
construed, Kc.,” thereby augmenting, in an
indefinite measure, the very evil he would
seem to remedy;—not unlike the man, who,
when his servant had mischievously passed
the halter of his horse, as it stooped to drink,
beneath a root deeply hidden in the stream,
and calling franticly for help as he pulled its
head under, flew to its rescue, and with tiie
good intention of all liis mgiht, actually helped
the vilain to drown his own horse!
Among the numerous amendments offered
on such occasions, some are meant to impede,
and others to accelerate the passage of a Bill;
w hile some, too, are of so doubtful a tendency,
that it is difficult to perceive whether the au
thors meant them for good or evil. Os this
class we recon the puerile amendment append
ed to the Act creating a Board of Public Works,
which limits their t; rm of service to sixty or
a hundred days in the year! A Bill, thus be
set with help and hindrance, on its final pas
sage, is not unfrcquently cumbered with ex
tranous verbage, insomuch, that some learned
philologist of a neighboring press recentlj- as
sailed a particular law of the last Legislature
ivitu the charge of an “absurd and prnpi fv
ed phraseology;” which charge, by the by,
might more appositely apply to that section of
the Land Lottery Act, which defines the quali
fications of participants.
Wc have received the twenty-ninth number
of the Ncw-Vork Mirror, and Ladies’ Literary
Gazette, which is certainly one of the neatest
specimens of a pi riodical Gazette that we
know of. The style of typographical execu
tion, the pure whiteness of the sheet, together
with the taste and intelligence of its columns)
justly entitle it to a rank among the most use
ful and agreeable publications of the day,
There arc tales for the grave and the gay—
ind flowing measures for the organ, the piano,
and the lute —as well as themes for the schop
ir, the philanthropist, and the historian. The
terms of this weekly publication, are four
dollars in advance ; and we sincerely believe
that the reading class of both ladies and gen
tlemen will count t'aeir subscription to this
cork profitably made for the money. We
shall be willing to receive and forward orders
lor the same, at any moment -
GEORGIA STATESMAN
Amidst graver duties, we have- not been un
mindful of that, which claims of us a weekly
ottering to those whose empire is over the
heart. The story of Eugenia De Mirande,
on our last page, is worth the whole subscrip
tion price to our paper.
In eadem re, utilitas et turpitudo esse non
potest.—Cicero.
“ It is vain to plead the advantage
of a proceeding, when those advan
tages are to be purchased by the
expense of honesty, or of honor.”
The upright man in his moral
walk is fearless, he goes abroad pro
tected by his honesty; he fears no
danger, for truth and uprightness,
are his shield and breast plate. He
needs no certificate to support his
character, no falsliood or dissimula
tion to prove the correctness of his
conduct, for the integrity ofhisheart,
and the purity ofhis motives are ex
hibited in all his actiqns, and testify
to both.
A position which needs for its sup
port, th perversion of truth, and the
mutilation of facts, should by all
iionest men be abandoned as unten
able.
To support a man and his meas
ures, by the suppression of truth, and
the substitution of error, by exciting
the passions, and blinding the judg
ment, shew alike, moral depravity,
and political turpitude.
A good cause needs no factitious
support, it rests olely on trutli; and
the more closely examined, the more
excellent it appears ; it shrinks not
from investigation, but is obscured
by dissimulation and sophistry.
W e are led to these remarks, by
•■noticing in several Georgia papers,
attempts to alienate the affections ol
the people of Georgia, from the Fed
eral Union.
To create in the minds of our fel
low citizens a belief, that the gov
ernment of the United States in all
its branches is hostile to the welfare
of Georgia, means are restored to,
degrading as they are false and un
just.
Articles of this description are fab
ricated in one paper, and copied with
avidity into others ; but the fabrica
tion and reprint of these articles are
such gross derilictions from the re
sponsible duties of editors that we
could not pass them without some
remark.
Among many articles of this de
scription we copy the following from
some of the late numbers of the
Georgia Journal.
The feelings of Mr. Adams and his
advisers on this important subject
are plainly evtuced by the manner in
which they treat the delegations from
the two parties of the Creek nation,
now at Washington. The hostile
party are in high favor ; —They
have been dressed up by the gov
ernment in splendid military uni
forms. The friendly or Mclntosh
party have presented their claims on
the government—have been very
coldly received, and have had plain
citizens clothes assigned to them ! !
*****
On the 29th of December the hos
tile party, rigged out iu their milita
ry dresses, were, while the Senate
was in session, paraded into the Se
nate Chamber with Crowell at their
head ! ! ! People of Georga such is
the distinction now made at Wash
ington between those who have been
your steadfast friends in the worst
of times, and those who in times
past, eagerly sought every opportu
nity ol shedding tho blood of vour
wives and children. Let it be recol
lected that Gun Boy and Manaway
are members of the hostile delega
tion ; —that they were conspicuous
actors in the bloody tragedy at Fort
Miins : —that in that frightful scene
of carnage one of our Senators lost
a beloved brother. What an out
range on the feelings of that Sena
tor was committed when these mis
creants were taken to the bosom of
the administration, spendidly deco
rated at the public expense, and pa
rade into the Senate Chamber in his
presence. What atonement can the
government offer for this gratuitous
insult to the Stilt- of Georgia in the
person of one of the Representatives
of her sovereignty ?
*****
The hostile warriors Yvcre fine
looking men ; they were clothed in
the full dress of the army officers ;
their epaulettes Yvere of gold, and
their coats plentifully furnished with
embroidery of the same material. I
thought it manifested some policy,
in the Government to keep the hos
tile delegation in good humor by
these little gifts of finery ; but in
deed there Yvas so wide a difference
in the treatment of the friendly party
of the Mclntosh Creeks, that I pitied
the policy that Yvas so evidently cal
culated to injure the fine feelings
upon such occasions so keenly felt
by the Indians. * * * *
Will it be credited that in a few
short years from these generous ser
vices and still fewer months from
this bloody assassination his muder
ous enemies, and the former dark
and insidious enemies ofthis same
Government are received into its
open arms, flattered and caressed by
the public functionaries, and most ol
all, by the chief ruler of the nation,
attired in the most Costly and splen
did apparel at the public expense,
paraded and escorted through the
chambers of the State, with marks
of distinction denyed to our own
citizens, and finally revelling at the
banquets of the President, embracing
him with their blood stained hands
still reeking with the gore of the
gallant Mclntosh, while his own ex
iled son and friends saunter through
those Halls of mirth and unnatural
orgies, neglected and despised 1
Now what object of good policy
required this deviation from truth,
this false colouring of facts, we know
not; —was it for the purpose of lead
ing astray the minds, of the ignorant
and unsuspecting, and blinding
the judgment of our fellow citizens
at large as it regards the adjustment
of their interests with the general
government If such be the fact,
we believe these libelous articles
will produce their own salutary cor
rective, to the deep disgrace and in
famy of their authors.
The great mass of the free popu
lation of Georgia, are not yet prepar
ed to be gulled b} falshood, and
gorged with such unholy pottage.
It is the interests of the Sovreign
People and not the interests of a few
political factionists and aspiring dem
agogues which seem to have come
in collision with the United States
govc.iunet. —Therefore the People
should be served with truth, and
that only.
But the objects to be achieved by
the original publication of the above
extract, are as separate, and distinct,
from the real interests of the people,
as light from darkness; —even the
“way fareing man, though a fool’
could not fail to discover, that they
are the desperate efforts of a falling
party.
The follow ing letter, written by a
disinterested gentleman who had no
party, or political views to serve, ex
hibits a striking contrast to the tale
told by the authors of the foregoing
extracts.
It appears by this letter that the
general government, on the arrival
oftlie Indians at Washington, gave
to each party, such clothing as they
respectively chose.
The Mclntosh party with great
propriety chose habilments ofuiourn
ing, and the other party, as was to
be expected chose gaudy military
trappings. The general government
no doubt sought, by gratifying their
different caprice* -vi*. th-'.r
tions, and calm their passions there
by rendering it more easy not only
to obtain “ pcacebly, and on reasona
ble terms" the lands belonging to
Georgia, but also to reconcile these
parties with each other ; and to ac
complish this latter object, it appears
unusual though unsuccessful efforts
were made.

Washington City, 2Stli Jan. 1526.
CREEK TREATY
You are aware that the govern
ment has made an arrangement with
the Indians, perfectly satisfactory to
them, and which, it is thought, will
be confirmed by the Senate. The
message conveying this new treaty
has has not as yet been sent to the
Senate.
Treaty and anti-treaty par
ties are, you know represented here
by their principal oralors and war
riors ; each delegation comprising
twenty or thirty individuals. They
have been kindly treated by their
Father, the President. One party
is quartered at Brown’s Hotel, the
othci at Tennison’s and all their
wants are % r ery liberally supplied.
They received, upon their arrival,
such dresses as they chose. The
Mclntosh Party chose to wear blue
frocks and trowsers, with mourning
badges. The other party wear gold
lacked frocks, with epauletts. These
twoparties have had no intercourse
witi each other. All attempts to re
comile their animosities have prov
ed fiuitless. The President propos
ed ai ammicable meeting between
them, to take place at his house on
Wednesday last, when and where an
endeavour was to be made to bring
about a reconciliation. This propo
sition was rejected, the Mclntosh
party declaring that “ they would
never grasp in friendship, hands that
were red with the blood of their
Chief.” They were present at tin:
Levee, on the first of January ; and
were marshalled in lines, facing each
other,on each sideof the Saloon. They
stood there, motionless as statues,
noticing nothing that passed around
them, not even the observation
which they themselves attracted.
They received the salution of the
company, when offered, with dignity
and propriety. No expressions of
surprise or admiration escaped them.
If over their fixed features exhibit
d aught of emotion, it was when,
lor a moment, their eyes met each
other One quick fierce glance ol
hostility would then be exchanged.
It was melancholy to observe thi‘
silent but expressive evidence ot
deadly hate hetween men, who by
birth, interest, association, by every
tie that can bind man to man, ought
to be brothers.
We regret that the article on Po.
litical Economy, which we conclude
in this day’s paper could not have
appeared entire in one number, as
it contains a species*of historical in
lorniatiomYvhicli we beiieve is not of
ten found by our readers.
Erratum. —In our tenth number we puli
lished a Communication from the Rev. Mr.
Gautier, in which we made a mistake, by in
serting the words, “as accessary,” in the
body of the 10th interogatory. In the origin
al interegatory, it reads thus :
“ 10th. As Hawkins
neither signed the Treaty as accessary
as a witness, or chief, what
law did he break which re
quired his death? The law
of Nations.”
As it thus stands, the public will, perceive
that the charge of interpolation against the
Rev. Mr. Smith, is wholly unfounded. —Ed.
