Statesman
Milledof.ville, Tuesday, March 14, 1926.
Pro ari.-, focis, et patria nostrum.
'*e understand that rumors arc spreading
abroad, touching the motives w hieli influenced
the establishment of the Statesman, and the
course it might pursue in relation to the elec
tion of the next Governor.
It is not yet three weeks since tve were first
apprised that these rumors were in circula
tion; and so far as wc are able to judge from
the indefinite and vague form through which
they have reached its, they seem to amount
to this, that our paper was got up for the pur
pose of establishing a third party. Wo as
re our readers that we kn uv of no third
party, r.ot ev.n in conjecture, till apprised of
is by these rumors; and did we not believe
tacy were put in circulation by some design
ing persons inimical to our paper, with the
design to impede its circulation, we should
not hav e noticed them.
i>ut as it is, we feel it due to ourselves to
state, that if such a party exists in reality, no
person belonging to it has ever asked, or even
hinted to us a wish that we would give it our
support; if they had, our answer would have
1-een, that the Statesman would stand pledged
oniy to truth, to just principles, and the b:st
interests of our common country.
Georgia, already distracted by the collision
01 parties, would stand exposed to little less
than rein, were another engine introduced to
Disturb her councils, and compromit her in
terests.
That the course we shall pursue may be
fully understood, we now distinctly state, that
between the concealment and perversion of
facts, we think there is a moral isthmus where
truth has fixed the bounds of her empire by
an imperishable wall, within whose deep foun
dations the man of pure intention may plead
her cause triumphantly, against the adverse
powers of malice, hypocrisy, and cunning.
This ground we shall occupy, and this alone
i - ' the isthmus we (h ire to tread; and it is
wholly unsusceptible of that political con
struction which vainly supposes us the pio
neers of a third party in this State. As or
gans of such a policy, we wish no alliance,
and ask no support.
In reply to those speculations relating
to the course we shall pursue in the choice of
the next Governor, we have but little to say.
V«e know ot no candidate at present properly
before the public. Were we to express our
individual feelings, we should say we had a
predilection for Gen. John Clark; but in ma
king this observation, wc would not lie under
stood as making a nomination; this belongs
to his friends, and the friends of Georgia
with whom we feel ourselves identified.
In our last, wc offered some remarks upon
(he disengenuousness of that insatiable jeal
ous* of spirit whose purest aspiration is a
i.ev. r ceasing rage against the President of
tin so United States, the members of his Cabi
net, and their most private, as well as popu
lar acts.
These high functionaries cannot perform
the most common eourtisies of life, nor regu
-1 it -their own drawing-room, without meeting
these lagos at their feasts, whose wasting
breath, like the mists of hades, distils rebuke
into every cup and viand.
What heart but a seared one —what spirit
but a base one, would so have seized upon
the voluntary difibrence of apparel between
the hostile and Mclntosh party, at Washing
ton, as they are termed, and hurled it as a
fire-brand into the elements and fuel of then
own preparing, to light up, if possible, a torch
of discord? It would seem that these moral
incendiaries had stationed their servants and
signals within telegraphic distances from
W ashington to Georgia.
Notwithstanding the watchful Cerberus on
post at the President’s door, caught up this
hopeful brand and flew with such eagerness—
notwithstanding each incendiary blew his hot
breath upon it as it passed—and notuith
■ landing it was haili and andcheri hod and warm
ed and breathed upon here w it'i such fostering
zeal, yet it would not burn; ‘ the breath
of truth and heaven had blown its spirit out,
nnd slretv’d repentant ashes on its head!”
I! is one of those immutable decrees, against
w hich the impotence of man doth but rave in
vain, t!i:it the machinations of malevolence
shall net always prevail over the dictates of
truth and soberness. The integrity of a weffi
meaning man, like gol.l from the furnace,
emerges from obliquy and slander with a more
captivating lustre.
No matter if truth slumber for a while un
der the rubbish of error and a false covering, it
will, at length, burst forth like the fires of
• Etna, with an energy that shall waste all
which deformed or concealed it.
These remarks derive some corroborative
authority from an extract of a letter in the
Augusta Chronicle, which we have copied to
day, relating, among other things, to the ri
diculous story of the President’s gi'ing hom
age, gold and lace, to one party of Indians,
and cold neglect and colder charity to the.
other. How exceedingly whimeical and ful
some is this thrice told tale ! Not less so,
than that of the puritan old lady’.- fainting a;
the ungodly sound cf a fiddle, and recovering
instantly on being to!d it was only a VrOLiN
that had alarmed her!
The very apposite and dispassionate re
marks of the Augusta Chronicle upon the late
Executive order for a more war-like classifi
cation of the M ilitia, speak, ns we believe,
the honest language and sentiments of by far
the largest portion of the people of Georgia.
Whatever may be the evanescent mania of
defeated ambition, or whatever the intemper
ance end temerity of our gubernatorial ad.
ministration, it i; happily permitted us to con
gratulate: one another on the assurance that
their.utmost mischief is too short-lived to en
t i! any serious evil, if not too impotent to ex
cite alarm. It is the peculiar clmracterestic
<fa self-preserving excellence in our laws
that the evils of our Government, and of th,
infidrhtv of public servants are easily cured.
These exist only for a time, by sufferance of
the people; when they become too inconven
ient or daring, the power which permits can
remove them.
Whatever then shall oppose itself to that
mighty engine, the public will, must, when
tolerance is exhausted, fall under the wheels
of its retribution, w hile tue trumpet of infamy
shall send a note of warning into the deepest
caverns of rebellion, and bid its denizens be
ware !
But it has been no Ics9 justly, than eloquent
ly observed of party zeal, that “its mighty
tide sometimes flows higher, and rushes faster,
than its wont, and as it bounds and dashes
along in sparkling violence, it now and th- n
throws up its fleecy cloud ; but this ri es only
to disappear, and as it fades away before the
sunbeams of intelligence and patriotism, you
behold upon its bosom the rainbow signal of
returning peace, arching up to declare there
is no danger.”
The Constitutionalist of Augusta, (at least
so says the Georgia Journal of the 7th iut.) in
replying to some strictures on an editoria’
article, which some time since appeared in
that paper, uses the following language, “ an
other insists that the editor of this paper is
unknown to him ; this is a feeble attempt to
excite prejudice, and a poor reply to sound
reasoning; the writer of the article upon
that wretched act of the legislature, or of
any other editori .1 article of this paper, does
not desire concealment,
‘ He wears no mask, and fears no question.”’
Now wo respectfully ask of this nameless
Editor, “who fears no question, and wears
no must., and does not desire concealment”
to throw off that guise, so very like a mask,
and so soon as fate, that relentless jade who
keeps him in “concealment” against his “de
sire,” w ill permit, to announce his real name.
II is whispered by some of the knowing ones,
that in his nameless capacity of Editor, he
publishes sentiments, which if that perplex
ing compulsory “concealment” were removed,
the duties of his profession and his standing in
society would forbid him openly to avow.
Perhaps when he lias emerged from this
thraldom of “concealment,” and shall ba al
lowed to exhiuit himself in his own proper
name in the editorial columns of a newspa
per, he may be able to prove by legitimale
reasoning, and sound logic, that because the
Constitution of the United States does not
require the candidates for Congress to reside
insEPEBATE Districts, that the Legislature of
Georgia had no right to locate them there.
But till he prove this, and also prove that
“ Iho powers not delegated to the U. States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
States, arc” not “reserved to the States res
pectively, or to the people,” we shall be
lieve his arguments to be sophistry, and his
reasonings fallacious.
f The citizens of Savannah have recent!} 1 '
had a meeting to consult upon the expediency j
of employing their capital to carry into oper- !
lio’i the projected Canal between that City I
and the Altumuha, as surveyed by order of i
Mr. Jenekes. It is gratifying to perceive
that the spirit of enterprise and internal im
provement in this State, is at length beginning
to be the order of the day.
Os the Mexico-Atlantic Company tve hear
nothing which promises immediate operation.
The Board of Public Works of the State of
Georgia will convene at this place on the 20th i
inst. to take into consideration the most prue- !
finable and efficient mode of carrying into el- j
feet the several laws parsed at the last se
sion, pertaing to this subject. Perhaps there \
is no State in the Union where the expense of j
land transportation is so enormously great
as in our own; audit is equally certain, that
none of equal population can receive greater
benefit from Canals.
•‘OpiITHAt.MOS”* (’o SEAUTON OUK EIDEI,)
has announced the discovery of several motes
in the eyes of others, but says nothing of the
film which sometime inverts the objects of
his own vision.
* [Sec the last Southern Recorder.]
While the more favored once have no cause
to complain of any want of faithfulness in the
management of the mails, it has been our lot
occasionally, and of late, quite frequently, to
find them, like other human things, very un
certain.
fdr’Our Correspondents and Advertising
friends are humbly entreated to be a little
more particular in preparing their manuscripts
for type ; for although our workmen aver
their skill to set up any thing in the language
of the country, yet in the spelling of profrr
names, isc. unless caution be used to make
every letter distinctly legible, errors will un
avoidably occur, and very possibly, in cases
where the misspelling of a name would de
feat the object of the advertisement.
The Statesman has now reached its 13th
number; the accession of Subscribers since
the Oth, has amounted to 120; which embol
dens us to solicit a further extension of pa
tronage.
To the Editors of the Statesman.
Gentlemen, — Permit ine to state
through the medium of your paper,
that although I am a strangor in
Georgia, and of course but little ac
quainted with the grounds of the po
litical disputes of some of the peo
ple ; yet I run somewhat surprised,
and much mortified to observe so
many scurrilous and defamatory com
munications put into circulation by
means of the press. The liberty of
the press, as secured by the Consti
tution of these United States, is
amongst the best blessings of life—
hut when it is allowed by its con
ductors to degene rate into licentious
ness, it becomes as dangerous as the
electric tire of the clouds without an
efficient conductor, and as injurious
as the sting of the scorpion of Africa.
I am 1. and to those remarks by read
ing a communication in the- last South
ern Recorder, signed ‘ Ophthalmos."
It is unnecessary to make any com
ment on this communication, other,
than that it is highly libelous in the
• pirit of the law, as every reader
must know when he roads it
GEORGIA STATES*! (ft.'
1 know nothing of the writer, nor
the merits of the rase of the :*tb"i
tion against the individuals whose
names appear in the publication,
though from what little knowledge I
have had of some of them, 1 did not
expect that either should have had
merited such scurrilous defamation ;
hut even if they have acted improper
ly, the method here taken, is not cal
culated to correct their faults, nor is
it either right or lawful.
But what surprises me most is,
that the respectable Editors of the
Recorder should have permitted such
a communication to enter the col
umns of their paper.
Editors of papers, in general, are
prudent enough not to encourage
a splenalic and defamatory spirit |
amongst their fellow creatures, nor j
to foster the bad passions of man, j
by giving currency to the poisonous !
breath of detraction.
At this time, in this State, it ap
pears to me that every conductor of
a public journal ought to exercise,
in reference to the peace and wel
fare of the people of Georgia, all his
talents—all his patience—all his in
fluence, and every benevolent feel
ing cl his heart.—l mu t acknowl
edge Messrs. Editors, that as yet, I
have not seen any thing in your pa
per calculated to elicit or stir up the
bad passions of man, nor to keep
alive those jealous feelings, which
sometimes might be useful, hut at
present are not —hut have rather en
deavored to soothe them by the dis
passionate reasoning of philosophy.
I hope you v. ill continue to pursue
the same course which you have be
gan, and that all your brother editors
"ill do the same.
\itliough wo know that much the
greater number of the people of
Georgia make no complaint against
the administration of their own State,
nor against that of the United States,
yet it seems that many cl'our breth
ren ot the other States, arc led to
think, from the above causes, that
the people of Georgia are on the
point of waring with each other
and of rebelling against the General
Government. But it is all a mistake:
the people, generally, are at ease—
it is only a few that are much discon
tented.
I charitably hope, and almost be
lieve, that writers and printers are
well aware of the immorality, unlaw
fulness, and injurious tendency of
such publications as I have alluded to.
It cannot he right to hold up any
of our fellow creatures to public ridi
cule and contempt, even if they should
ho unworthy characters, unless a pub
lic good required it—and such who
do so are enemies to society, and dis
turbers of tiie public peace.

FOR TIIE STATESMAN.
Messrs. B:irritt£; Merchant,
Will do me the favor to inform
your rentiers why tiie Laws of tlio
last Session oft lie General Assembly
have not been furnished as usual—
to the clerks of the different coun
ties— ? Heretofore, before the com
mencement of the spring circuits the
laws were distributed—but those
of the last session have not yet
been distributed—ls the fault be
with the Executive or the Stale prin
ter, it is equally important that the
public should bo informed—some
have surmised that perhaps the low
terms for which the State printer of
fered—in order to keep the printing
—may have occasioned the delay—
and that not unlike the dog in the
manger,'he will neither furnish them
himself nor let others do it. What
ever may be the cause of the delay.
It is most certain, that great incon
venience is occasioned thereby.
A SUBSCRIBER.

i The ?kizi:s.—Under this bead we copy an
article from the Nev -York Mirror, and La
dies’ Literary Gazette. It appears that the
proprietor of this popular Gazette had prof
ered premia of diflerent orders for the best
written Poem and Moral Tale, to be awarded
I according to their first and scond rank of
merit, by a committee of scignorcs appointed
to this critical arbitrement. Two prizes of
the first order, and one of the second, were
awarded to citizens of New-York; while
Boston, in this instance, bore away only one
prize of the second grade.
Had something seemed wanting, after the
allotment of the gifts, to retone the nerve of
unsuccessful competition, it is very hand

the prizes.
“At what we sing, some hearts will smile :
• VVuiTe some, alas 1 will sigh.”
Even we. ourselves, iecl the inllu

our motto. For, although tve smil
ingly tender our “ siller cr»nvn,” and
extend lac worm hand ol* congratu
lation to those who have succeeded,
yet we also come prepared to con
dole with tuch of our valued corres
pondents is feci disappointed.
Before, however, we bestow' our
praise, or give advice, it will be but
an act ol kindness towards all the
candidates, to announce the deter
mination of the Committee. These
gentlemen have sacrificed a conside
rable portion of time, and spared no
pains, in weighing the merits of the
diileront productions ; and thus they
give their award ;
To our correspondent F. of this ci-!
ty, for tac best moral tale, thirty do!-:
lars.
To Mrs. Harriet Muzzy, of this j
city, so- the second IrM moral tale, I
twenty dollars.
To t. cf (his city, for the best po

To Mrs. A. M. Wells, of Boston, j
for the second best poem, twenty

With all the eagerness of lottery
office-kccpcrs—but with a greater
share oi sincerity—do wo call upon
the fortunate persons to come forth,
and receive the need of merit. At
the same time, we bog to praise them,
for their admirable papers ; and tell
them, if they arc gratified with our
bounty, we arc thankful for their
works.
And, now, for the soothing balm
and the kind word to nil those who
may experience a feeling of disap
pointment. We well remember
“ when lift was young,” and letters
little known to us, how poignantly it c
felt the siiencc of persons to whom
we had presented our compositions—
we considered ourselves neglected,
if public notice were not taken of
them—and believed, there was a de
sign to stop our talents and chili our
warm thoughts. But, a rc-perusa!
of our youthful productions, and a
more extensive knowledge of books
have taught us, we ourselves alone
were faulty. And yet, let it not be
considered true, that it is hard to
climb
“ The steep where fume’s proud temple shines
af.ir
many a llowcr can he easily reared,
if the planter do not mind the plea
sant labour of nurturing and watch
ing the seed he sows. In the culti
vation of the mind, “ Labor ipse vo
luntas.” We must consid r too, that
a good charioteer at t.he Olympia,
might have lost a first race: but it
would not check him from striving
again for “ the crown of olive.”
We ask our numerous correspon
dents to continue sending their va
luable communications —and if they
do not 10. *> wight of their own abili
ties, we .will not lose sight of our li
berality. And let them ponder well
upon these truths, from the great
philosopher, Locke, “ We are born
with faculti sand pow ers capable al
most of any thing, such at least as
would carry us farther Ilian can ea
sily be imagined; but it is only the
exercise of those powers which gives
us ability and skill in any thing, and
leads towards perfection.”
The prize poem will he published
in the next number, and the moral
tale will follow Dr. Brom.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
We have waited for sometime
with a due degree of patience, to
hear what the friends of 11 is Excel
lency, Goy. Troup, would say to his
late military order, and find at last,
as they cannot hone-tlv jay any
thing in it? favor, that they arc dis
posed, with commendable prudence,
to pass it over in silence. As it has
heretofore been the case that every
m asure of importance, (save one.)
which he has adopted, has met the
warm&open expression of their appro
bation, we must in course, look upon
their silence now "as evincing their
dislike of this one, and so far we
heartily join them in opinion. It is
believed that the Governour founds
his authority for issuing this order
on a Legislative Act of the 19th
December, 1818, but with what rea
son we are entirely at a loss to con
ceive, for certainly, the most
careless observer will at once
perceive that that act has not the
slighte-t bearing on the case, and
that neither in that or in any subse
quent one, has lie been vested with
power to carry such an order info ef
fect under the present existing cir
cumstances. If, in the language of
that Law, there was “ an invasion or
insurrection, or probable prospect
th roof,” he would be “ authorised
and empowered,-to call forth such a
number of the militia, and iretn such
coounty or counties and in such man
ner, either by companies or by drafts,
as he may deem proper but- how
he can now see any such prospect,
except in the wild eflerveset nee of a
distempered brain, we are totally at
a loss to imagine. But even it an
invasion or insurrection was proba
ble. where is the necessity lor the
projected classification 1 His Excel
lency must have anticipated a horri
ble state of warfare, when he adopt
ed the detest ible Conscript sysrten
of Napoleon Bonaparte, for in doing
so he couid not expect to derive am
advantages from it but those ot draw-
I mg from first one class, and then the
other, as the exigencies of an im
mense army might require, and that
the population or general welfare of
the country might not be materially
affected by drafting, accidentally, to
too great an extent from any partic
ular portion of citizens. Bella horri
da bclla! Perhaps in his anxiety to
provide sufficient food for the deadly
camion, he looks forward m anticipa
tion of a time, when, lik the great
warrior wc have mentioned, lie w ill
be under the necessity of drafting
irorn the beardless hoys and decrc
pid old men of the country to fill up
■. :ic emaciated ranks oi his * r Grand
Army.”
e are cot, by any means, singu
lar in our opinions of this order of
! His Excellency, and particularly of
Jti. it part of it which relates to 'the
j classification, and we believe that a
J large majority, even of those who
jhavo hitherto supported his mcas
| arcs, arc decidedly opposed to a
j course which seems directed to
) wards the destruction of the Federal
| Union. We continually hear ques
i tions on the expediency and proprie
ty oi such a measure—expressions
oi da-gust at its probable object, and
oi determination to act personally in
opposition to it when it is acted
upon—Connecting it with his late
conduct,and the near approach cftlio
time which should give us possession
olthc land acquired hv the lateTrcaty
with the protest ot the Indians, and
the e\pr ssed determination of His
Excellency to take possession of the
land, let the consequences he what
they may, many have made fearful
guesses as to ‘he ulterior object of
such a warlike order. The angry
and undignified disputes which its
author has iiad with the officers of
the Genenil Government, and the
gratuitously abusive language which
lie Las used to tbs President himself,
are still fresh in the recollection of
all. 'Blie wounds arc yet unhealed
w hich he has made in the bosom of
the ►state. His threats still sound
in our ears, and his declaration that
the existence of tlie State was a se
condary consideration to the com
pletion of his views, has not yet been
forgotten.
W'e Lave thus far commented up
on this order, arrayed, as it is, in
“ all the pomp an<l circumstance of
war,” with as much seriousness as
ita inflated tenor and affected im
portance would admit of, because,
whatever may be our opinions of
Ills Excellency, we would fain regard
him with as much respect as possi
ble, from the dignified station in
in which he is placed ; hut when wc
come to that part where lie speaks
so momentously of the “ Crisis in
which the country finds itself,” and
very naturally associate it in our
minds with the celebrated “ Crisis ”
of the Virginian Cynic, it would re
quire the gravity of Dominie Samp
son to withstand the risibility it oc
casions. A Crisis I Two Crisis' ! !
