Milledgev ille, Tuesday, Mat 30, 1526.
Pro axis, focis, et putria nostrum.
Tbe Chief Civil Engineer of this State, re
turned to this place last week, after having
made a reconnoissance of the country from
lienee to Augusta. He scorns to he of a simi
lar opinion with regard to this section of tko
traverse line, as that mentioned formerly re
specting the line from the Flint river by Ma
con to Milledgeville, that the country is not
well adapted to Canal purposes; but seems
sanguine in the expectation of obtaining a
good line for u Railroad, which he proposes to
construct of timber, a material with which
the country abounds of excellent quality.—
.Mr. Fulton has again left this place to ex
plore tlve country between the Tennessee river
and the waters of this State, before he com
mences a detailed survey, we understand it is
his intention to explore a considerable extent
of the country parallel to the Tennessee river,,
and whether the proposed communication will
he taken from that river immediately into
Georgia, or whether it will be taken from a
point considerably lower down, so as to pass
through a part of the State of Alabama before
it enters this State, will depend on tlie result
of his examination.
g"P—
We present to our readers this week a long
article, principally on the subject of Canals
and Railroads; we begthose opposed to intern *1
improvement not to read it, for it exhibits much
deep thinking, and great devotion to that im
portant subject.
The Treaty. —We republish a letter on this
subject to-day, addressed to the Editors of the
Georgia Journal, dated at Washington ; but
they do not inform us whether it is from Cobb
or Menriwether. So far as it speaks of the
boundary lines —of the probability of Geor
gia’s acquiring ail her territory, it is simply a
repetition of the very sentiments and expres
sions contained in the last Statesman on the
same subject. We then stated, that the opin
ion was predominant with the Georgia Dele
gation and members of Congress, that by the
extension of two boundary lines, the one three
and the other fifteen miles, we should get all
our lands; and they were extended just so far
as it was thought would embrace all the Creek
lands in Georgia, and no more. That the
opinion was also predominant that if the lines
thus extended, should fail to embrace all the
lands, it w ould be attributable only to the im
possibility of determining more accurately how
far these lines ought to lie extended.
Now what says the Georgia Delegation in
their letter to Mr. Camak:
That “ there is but little doubt, but that un
der the New Treaty, Georgia will acquire all
her lands.” [Ah ? ] That “ It was the wish
of the Indians [what of the hostiles] to
cede to GEORGIA ail her lands.” That
“they explicitly declared to Col. Benton, whose
friendly and active influence has been exercis
ed in the matter, that they did not wish to
keep one foot of Georgia land.” [What, the
koslilts say this ? ] This letter further states
that “it was the certain expectation of the
Senate, that Georgia [by the extension of the
lines before mentioned] would acquire ALL
her lands.” And we state again, that it was
for this reason alone, that Col. b\ voted for it.
It was for this reason that our Vice-President
Vanßuren, voted for it, (we mean by proxy.)
We also stated in a former number that al
though the Georgia Delegation were in favor
of it, yet would they vote against it. Hear a
confession in this letter—“therefore” says the
writer, “ whilst 1 cannot give it my support, I
am free to confess I have no great repugnance
to its passage 1” In our 22d number we gave
a map of the country in question, from tfeo
most authentic documents and surveys which
do at present exist; observing at the same
time, that we did not pretend our outline of
this territory was perfectly correct, but that
we believed it the nearest approximation to
truth, which could be made till it had been ac
tually surveyed. V.'o are still of the same c-
I'inion.
But vi hat says Mr. Camak, and how will
iie attempt to harmonize his opinions of the
9th inst. with those which he says in the 23d,
are worthy of the most serious attention of
the people of this state.” In the former he
says—“ every doubt is now removed” [relat
ing to the treaty.] The thing stands forth in its
own deformity The people of Georgia, will
learn with astonishment, and we hope with
the deepest indignation, [how smart-like ! ]
that the old treaty, which gave them all their 1
land, has been annulled, and that by the new
one a tract of country containing about one
million two hundred thousand acres has been
iCJMaken from tCPand not only
given to the Indians, guaranteed to
them—of course lost to Georgia forever! _
How exceedingly ridiculous and incredible
this story mu.-t appear to a being of common
sense and common honesty; especially, when
contrasted with their letter from Washington
of the 7th inst.
If it were true, that there will be found this
great bifieit to the just measure of our territo
ry—this great loss of lands, which for distinc
tion sake, we call the Camak County, it
seems still more strange and incredible that
the whole Delegation from the Creek Nation,
as well as from the States, of Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee, together with the offi
eers of Government and all the agents ever
i mployed on this territory, or its vicinity,
should all have been utterly ignorant of the
fact. Camak County contains, according to
his own estimate ONE THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE SQR.
MILES OF LAND which tbeir friend", the
worthy and intelligent Editors of the Macon
Messenger, say “isby far the best and most
valuable part of the territoryalthough they
are not able or disposed to make out r-.ptc < 0
large a story respecting the quantity r rich has
been “ taken from Georgia and guarai Iced to
the Indians forever!”
By the bye, this tame Macon Messenger
3 “* in [their last number that “ A map of
the Western part of Georgia appears in the
Statesman, said to be copied from authorities
in the Surveyor Generals office —to which
statement of theirs, vve beg leave to oppose
the charge of misrepresentation.
From the Jlugusta Chronicle, of .May 25.
TO THE PUBLIC.
The proprietor of tbe Augusta Chronicle
takes this as the earliest opportunity of in
forming the public, that the obituary notice of
the death of Dr. Joseph J. Singeeton, pub
lished in the last number of the Chronicle, was
a base and malicious fabrication, intended to
suit tlic malignant purposes of some mean and
despicable viliian, who sent it with all the out
ward marks of authenticity, to injure the in
terest of Dr. S. and to play upon the affec
tionate feelings of liis numerous friends and
acquaintances. It was received in a letter,
dated Jackson county, Geo., May 14th, 1826
—Post marked Athens, Gee. May 16, and
signed with the assumed name of Thomas L.
Carrington. Among several other proofs of
its falsity, is a letter received by a gentleman of
this city, from Duct. Singleton, dated the ICih
inst.—four days after the one on which he was
stated to have died. It is much to be lamented
that there is in society, an individual so far lost
to all sense of decency and humanity, as to
trifle with the finest feelings of our nature, and
prostitute the solemn and impressive character
of Death, to gratify fir-lings of malice, interest,
envy, or revenge. Proi>cr efforts will be made
to discover the dcU.-si.able author of tliisextra
ordinary instance of innate depravity, and if
they are successful, be will assuredly be sub
jected to the punishment he so richly merits, —
and his name will he held up to the scorn and
contempt of an indignant public.
Asa further means of aiding in the discovery
of this infamous scoundrel, the Proprietor of
the Chronicle offers a reward of twenty
doli.ars for his detection, to be paid on convic
tion of his being the author of the letter in ques
tion.
The Editors of the Augusta Constitutionalist
and Georgia Statesman, will please give the
above one insertion each, and forward their ac
counts to the Chronicle Office for payment.
We insert the above as a tribute of just re
paration to the outrage which was designed
upon the feelings of community, by this scape
gallow s forgery.
Although “ it is much to be lamented that
there is in society, an individual so far lost to
all sense of decency and humanity—a viliian
of such innate depravity;” yet, who would
suspect such a thing to come out of Athens !
It surely has not emenated from the Univer
sity ; the character of its incumbent forbids
the very thought of it. Besides, we have just
read in the prints, as a sentiment of some
great patron of learning, that the boys of Col
lege were doing wonderful good in that “ po
litical atmosphere.” But this is mere irony;
we believe it did cmenate from the College at
Athens, and as a further means of aiding in
the discovery of this beardless mischief-doer,
the proprietors of the Georgia Statesman of
fer an additional reward of Twenty Dollars
for his detection, to be paid on proof of his
conviction.
The discovery of this graceless tool of fab
rication would, doubtless, disclose a cherished
fraternity of accomplices in the same pursuits.
There are many of this stamp, cloistered from
scrutiny w ithin those walls —whose vices arc
tolerated, and whose clandestine and frequent
outrage upon society is winked at. This is
not a solitary instance that we are now speak
ing of; vve can produce twenty others
equally culpable, heinous and untrue ! Simi
lar species of indecency, and insult, are con
tinually pouring forth through the post-office at
Athens, upon some of the most respectable cit
izens us this State, ar t through the U. States.
1 1 lias been borne and forborne for a considera
ble period.
What renders this habitual insult the more
insufferable, is the fact of its being known to
the president! He has been advised of it
from time to time—has had the proofs forced
upon him in a variety of instances, and yet
it exists. The post-master of that place is
also aware of the existence of this evil. We
understand he has destroyed a number of sealed
letters which have been lodged in that office
for the mail, upon the suspicion of their being
of an indecent character. A circumstance
which invites the investigation of the post
master general; not so much for the evil done
to society in the destruction or concealment
of these letters, hut for standing between
community and their unbridled authors, ft
has often ten in the power, both of the presi
dent and post-master, to have arrested and
punished these gambling idlers ; and it is time,
(is it not?) these high offices were endowed
with men whose literary attainments and
moral integrity are somewhat of a higher or
der of excellence. Let the president look to
it—vve mean him seriously.
Extract of a letter to the Editors of the Georgia
Journal, dated
“Washington, City May 7, 1826
“ The stipulations ol’ “ the new
treaty,’’ as it is called, and of the
supplemental article, you have al
ready received through the papers
of this city. Th appropriation bili
under this treaty, will be taken up
tc-morrow, (Monday) anti will meet
with no other opposition than such
as it may receive from our delega
tion. A bill making further and
very beneficial provisions ibr the Mc-
Intosh Indians, and such others who
may be inclined to accompany them
across the Mississippi, has been re
ceived from the Senate, re ferred to
the Indian committee of the 11. of 11.
will be reported to the House to
morrow, and committed to and acted
upon by the committee to which was
committed the appropriation bill. So
that both bills will be taken up at
the same time. There is but little
doubt but that under the new treaty
Georgia will acquire all her lauds.
It was the wish of the Indians,
(so 1 have been assured by Col. Ben
ton, whose friendly and active influ
ence has been exercised in the mat
ter) to cede to Georgia all her lands
—We could not get them indeed to
make the grant “ totidum verbis,”
for they insisted upon their custom
being observed of precisely designa
ting the boundary line. They.were
unwilling to say " the boundary line
between Alabama and Georgia , ”
because they were not disposed to
leave the nrrungmeut of that lino (it
depending upon a future survey) to
those States, which might disregard
GEORGIA STATESMAN, TUESDAY MAY 30, IS2C.
the interests of the Indian or third
party—They explicitly declared to
Col. B. that they did not wish to
keep one foot of Georgia land, for
they knew that what he told them
was true, that the Georgians would
never lot them be at peace until they
gave up all the Georgia territory.
From this it follows that there can he
no diefliuky between the General and
State Governments, in the latter
occupying the whole territory. The
fact is conceded on all sides that the
Senate would not have confirmed the
new treaty, but under the certain ex
pectation of Georgia acquiring ALL
her lands. The only members who
voted against its ratification were the
Georgia and other members who li id
constisutional scruples as to the
power of setting aside the old treaty.
If then it should turn out that all
the land will be obtained under the
new treaty, we can have no vi rry
serious objections to it,except such
as arise from constitutional con
siderations.
The unparalleled indignilics with
which our Executive has been load
ed by tbe Federal Executive, and
th atrocious insult which, upon ev
ery occasion has been offered to the
feelings of our citizens, are what we
can never forget, and what, I am un
christian like enough to say, vve
ought never to forgive. But still
they are dehors this legislative act,
[a separate matter,] and therefore,
whilst I cannot give it my support,
1 am free to conless'l have no great
repugnance to its passage. Under
the new treaty, including the sup
plemental article, and the supplemen
tal 6i7/the M Intosh and emigrating
Indians will derive much greater ad
vantages than under the old treaty.
1 write you in a hurry, as the period
lor the closing of the mail is near at
hand ; but will still call your atten
tion to a remarkable feature in the
new treaty. You will recollect what
a clamor was raised against the U.
State’s Commissincrs for resorting to
bribery to induce the Chiefs to sell
the land of the Nation. By the old,
or M’lntosh treaty, $ lOO’OOO were
to be paid, as a consideration for the
cession, to the “ Creek JVation.”
Now in this new treaty, in the 3d ar
ticle, sjj 217’P00 arc stipulated to he
given “totne Chiefs of the said Na
tion, ’ “to be divided among the
Chiefs and Warriors.” The “ Na
tion,” (vide article 4th) is to re
ceive an additional perpetual annui
ty of S2O’UUO, This is bribery upon
a large scale ; but, as “ the King
can -<lo no wrong,” I presume we
must give it a milder and more ap
proved name.
“ Col. Brearly, formally of the ar
my, was nominated on Friday last to
Senate, as the Indian Agent for the
M’lntosh tribe.—He will accompa
ny the M Intosh delegation to the
Creek Nation for the purpose of re
gistering in a book the names of all
th Indians who are disposed to em
igrate.—Col. Crowd has received
positive orders to co-operate with
Col. Brearly in indneing as large a
number as possible to emigrate
Col. B. says lie thinks he will be en
abled to carry over the Mississippi
almost the entire nation. He will
leave this, with the remaining part of
the M’lntosh delegation in a couple
of days.
From Niles’ Register.
MR. RANDOLPH.
Those who never have heard this
far famed, highly gifted and extraor
dinary man deliver one of his free
speeches, or rather “long talks,” can
not entertain any thing like a tolera
bly correct idea either of his man
ner or his matter. The first cannot
he placed upon paper, and no other
than a master in the histrionic art,
sonic one like Matthews, can fairly
represent it; and the second, if put
down exactly as delivered—word for
word, with all the pauses, nods and
motions, would seem no other than
a broad caricature of what lie did
say, to at least ninety-nine such per
sons out of a hundred. Many of his
speeches are written out and placed
into his hands for revision,* and when
net so, no regular reporter would risk
his own reputation for fidelity, by
giving the thousand expletives and
sharply pointed and rough words, with
which these speeches, or talks,
abound. The subjects touched so
him are, no doubt correctly set forth;
but the whole that he says never is
published, and for (he reason above
stated—not that Mr. K. would shrink
from any responsibility on account of
words used, but because of the repe
tition and redundancy of his words,
with his innumerable “yes, sirs,” and
“no, sirs.” Now and then, however,
he delivers a sentence as perhaps no
other man can, direct to inis purpose,
beautiful in its construction, and with
something that is pleasing even in its
asperity—which interests even in its
rudeness, or wanton altack, upon pri
vate or defenceless individuals: and
iu general, it is in severe invective,
or desultory conversation, that he
excels —and in these, indeed, he won
derfully excels. He rarely attempts
what would be called a regular argu
ment, and to dwell for one hour upon
any subject, is not to bo expected of
him. Nine-tenths of bis long speech
es just as well apply to a discussion
about the constitutional powers of
Congress to make a road, as to the
case ol John Smith, or the long dis
puted claim about Amy Darden’s
I stud-horse; and hence it is that, on
one occasion, last week, the Senate
was left without a quorum to adjourn,
and on another that there were hard
ly a dozen Senators in their at
least one ot whom appeared to bo
pretty soundly asleep, and for nearly
an hour, towards the close of the
sitting.
Though frequent opportunities have
occurred, it is several years since I
listened to Mr. Randolph even for
half an hour at a time ; but on the
2d inst. 1 spent thirty-live minutes in
the Senate while he was speaking.
What he said during that period, it
fully reported, would till from two to
three pages of this work—l mean, tl
all the words that he used were print
ed. 1 had been told that the bank
rupt bill was before (lie Senate—but,
during the time stated, he iiQVcr, to
the best of my recollection, men
tioned, or even remotely alluded to
it, or any of its parts, in any manner
whatsoever. The follow ing is a faith
ful account of t lie chief subjects that
he talked about. 1 do not prelend
to give his words, unless here and
there ; but as to the substance ot
what ho said, I am not mistaken, it
substance there was in his remarks.
When 1 entered liie chamber, he
was giving out a plan to make a bank,
hv persons resolved to become “rag
earls.” Well—sir wo agree to
make a bank. You subscribe 10,000
dollars, you 10,000, and you 10 or
20,000, and so on, looking toward
different members. Then we borrow
some rags——or make up the capital
out of our own promissory notes.
Next we buy an iron chest, for safety
against tire and against thieves; but
the latter was vfliolly unnecessary—
who would steal our pap r, sir l All
being ready, we issue bills —I wish 1
had one of them, [hunting his pock
ets as though lie expected to find
one] —like the Owl Creek bank or
Washington and Warren, black or
red —I think, sir, they begin with “I
promise to pay”—yes, promise to
[iay, sir—promise to pay. lie dwelt
upon this making of a bank for about
live minutes, and then said something
concerning Unitarians in religion and
politics making a dash at the Presi
dent and the Administration, men
tioning also sir Robert Walpole, in a
way that Ido not recollect. Then
he spoke of the Bible, and expressed
his disgust at what arc called “family
Bibles,” though he thought no family
safe or would flourish without a Bi
ble—but not of an American edition!
These published by the stationers
campany of London, ought only, or
chiefly, to have authority, except
those frum the presses of the univer
sities of Oxford and Cambridge He
described these corparations briefly:
they would be fined 10,000/ sterling,
il’ they should leave the word not out
of the seventh commandment, how
ever convenient it might be to some,
or agrecble toothers, (looking di
rectly at certain members, and half
turning himself round to the ladies.)
—lie never bought an American
edition of any book. He had no faith
in their accuracy' fie wished all his
books to have Cadell’s imprint—Ca
d'll, of the Strand, London. But
people were liable to be cheated. He
had bought a copy of Aristotle’s
Ethics to present to a lady—toalady,
sir, who could understand them—
yes, sir—and he found it full of errors,
though it had CadeiJ’s imprint
which he gave us to understand was
a forgery. From the Bible he pas
sed to Shakspcare, or rather mingled
the holy writings with the produc
tions of the poet, preferring each
nearly equeally, and drubbing some
one, that he named, most soundly,
for having had the impudence to pub
lish a “family Shakspcare and lie
made a quotation from his favorite
author. lie next jumped on the
American “Protestant Episcopal
church,” and vehemently disavowed
all connection with it—declaring that
he belonged to (he church of Old
England. He told that he was bap
tised bv a man regularly authorised
by the bishop of London who had
laid his hands upon him, [laying bis
own hands on the lidrid of the gentle
man next to him,] and he spoke
warmly of the character oft be bishop
and of the priest who had baptised
him, wishing that the latter might
have lived to perform the last office
for him. Then, as in reference to
the Episcopal church,' he gave some
thing as a quotation from a part of
Ihe service, beginning with “Them
that" as reprobating its gram
mar, and implying that no good man
could belong to a church which used
such language! Suddenly, he spoke
about wine—it was often mentioned
in the Bible, and he approved of the
drinking of it—if in a gentli manly
way—at the table —not in the closet
—not in the closet ; but as to whis
key, he demanded that any one
should shew him the word in the
Pubic—it was not there. No, sir,
you can’t find it in the whole book.
Next, or shortly after this, he spoke
of his land, saying that he held it by
a royal grant, with which he seemed
greatly pleased—but, in a minute or
two, was speaking of the “men of
Kent,” in England, saying that Kent
had never been Conquered but had
made terms with him, and, in con
sequence, when the militia of Eng
land arc called to the field, the men
of Kent are entitled to the from
rank. He spoke of a song whirl',
had been made on the “men ot
Kent, ’ which, I think, lie said hr
would give a thousand pounds tc
have be u the author of He was
apparently about lo rehearse or sing
it—when, being close to Mr. Ran
dolph, an<l within three or four steps
of the door, 1 hastily retreated aid
left the chamber, wondering what the
“the men of Kent ” and William the
Conqueror had to do with the royal
grant by w hich Mr. Randolph held
his land, or what relation that tenure
had to the bill before the Senate to
establish an uniform system of bank
ruptcy ; and thinking that to cat my
dinner was an affair as interesting,
at half past 3 o’clock, as to hear a
song about the “men of Kent,”
.Matters and affairs at Washington.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life on Sunday night the 7th
inst. at Perry, Houston county, Lawrence
Ludlow, eldest son of Gen’l. William and
Lucy IL Wellborn, in the sen nth year of his
age. The premature death of this loicly, in
teresting hut unfortunate little boy, was occa
sioned by a fright that was prepared wilh a pa
per mask by one of his School-mates, ami
shewn to him on his return to the Seminary ;
ho used every exertion to outrun the. llydra,
bat wearied with fatigue, he fell almost insen
sible, and was overtaken by the inhuman
wretch who pursued—he rcturnad home in the
most excrudating pain, accompanied with a
fever that continued until Death relieved his
painful sufferings;—and Us immaculate, chaste
soul, winged its etherial fligi t to the bosom of
Him that made it. ,
To his parents, Lawrence was respectful,
obedient and affectionate, always happy on
receiving any testimonial of their approbation;
to kindrt and less near he w as loving and beloved,
and to all who knew him, he was endearing,
from the uniform suavity of his disposition.
This afflictive stroke of Providence is ren
dered doubly heart-rending to his bereaved
and disconsolate parents; scarce had three
short months elapsed, tincc they paid the last
sad tribute of their affection, to another of
their little ones—the lovely, innocent little
William, the pride, delight and idol of their
too fond hearts.
