Statesman
Millepceville, Tuesday, June. 13, 1826.
Fro aris, focis, el palria nostrum.
Finding that the duties of an Editor will be
wholly incompatible with those which require
his absence, as one of the Engineers, the sub
scriber takes this method to inform the patrons
of this paper, and whomsoever it may concern,
that he has this day vended hiss entire right and
interest in the Office of the Georgia Statesm n,
with its appurtenances of Press, Types, &c.
to Dr. Silas Meacham, who will hereafter
conduct and publish the paper as sole Editor
and Proprietor.
“ To cherish and defend the great interests
aDd intemitl policy of the State —to uphold
the sacredncss and dignity of our Federal re
lation, and to promote, with untiring zeal, the
growing cause of Education and Internai Im
provement in Georgia,” are sentiments with
which Hie writer commenced, and with which
!;C now closes the arduous and unenviable du
•i sofa newspaper Editor.
E. H. BLKRITT.
The several problems, illustrations, and ta
bles for finding the latitude, as given at length
in this day’s paper were prepared solely for
private use, and printed On a separate sheet
for the convenience of the pocket.
While al! the matter stood thus in type, and
believing some of our readers might be bene
fited by information of this sort, it was thought
best to give the whole an insertion in the
Statesman. Those who are conversant with
the nature of these propositions, or at all in
terested in their solution, wiii appreciate the
correctness and simplicity of the various
methods herewith submitted.
Capt. Solomon Betton, of Milledgeville,
arid I.ivah Mims, of Kentucky, have been ap
pointed by the President of the United States,
us Commissioners to appraise the value of the
real improvements on the Indian lands lately
ceded to the United States by the Creek Na
tion. From the sterling integrity of Captain
Betton, with whom we are personally acquain
ted, we are induced to hope for the happiest re
sults in the execution of the trust reposed in
him.
In the Georgia Messenger, (we believe the
last but one,) a statement was made, relating
to an article in the Statesman, to which we
opposed the charge of misrepresentation. In
the last number of the Messenger we noticed
a reply to our charge, (and so far as we can
understand it,) admits in part, that the charge
was just. But in their attempt to throw oil'
the odium of our ciiarge, they make another
misrepresentation, which to us appears a more
serious derileetion from truth than the former.
They also churne 11s of misrepresenting cer
tain particulars touching important land marks
in the territory, acquired by the New Treaiy;
to which we shall in ike no reply, till they find
it convenient to “ton!” their Buzzard’s Roost
"time thirty or forty miles down the river.
To Correspondents. —An article addressed
1 0 a voter, is received, also, several obituary
notices, and a mass of interesting newspaper
intelligence—all of vvliich shall receive proper
attention next week.
The following communication is from a gentk -
man with whom we are personally unac
quanted,—but his apparent love of country,
and his sincere deprecation of the evils
a rising from that degre of party spirit vvh ich
at present exists in Georgia make us willing
to publish his communication. We agree
vvitli ttie writer in Ins animadversion on the
incorrectness of some Newspaperinteligence.
We have ourselves noticed articles in some
of the public prints in which incorrectness
was their least fault, there was and eviden’
desire to deceive and mislead on subjects,
where the peace, and welfare of Georgia are
deeply concerned.
FOR THE STATETSMAN.
• THE CANDIDATES!'.!
To behold the bustle and stir of our politi
cians is truly alarming; in this county eight per
sons have already declard themselves to be
candidates for the next legislature, and 1 ex
pect more will come up before the day of the
Election ; such a formidable rank of aspirants,
in Tvv _gs county, has never appeared upon the
field before, and if there should be many new
accessions to th.ir numbers, I fear that the
honest intentions of the voters will be defeated
by the mere process of swapping. The pen
ding of the Presidential election, succeded by
that of Governor in this state and the fuss
about the “ old treaty,” presented a splendid
harvest for the politicians of the day; and the
people mus’ have grown monstrous wise, had
there been as many dvisers then as are now,
for no pains .were spared to instruct the igno
rant in a certain way, on those vital and im
portant matters.
it was hoped that this year there would be
little or no party warmth; but, forsooth, a
“New Treaty” has been made, and the old
one ri -chided; and one candidate says, that
Clark, Crowd and Gaines caused it, and th t
Georgia loses by it, “one million two hundred
thousand acres of her best land, &c.” and
another candidate will say that the loss 10
Georgia, (if any) cannot exceed forty or fifty
thousand acres. Now they all dedarc that
they arc correct, and if disputed, a newspaper
is exhibited in evidence ; and rclio dare deny
she authority of a newspaper statement. These
party electioneering themes are generally
Huffed with sueh matter as is better calcula
ted to rouse tiic passions of the people, and to
split tin m into parties, than to accomplish any
end beneficial to the community, in every
little election, party presides, even in elections
for justices of the peace, Captains, and Clerk
of the Regiimnt, and lrom that down to the
"Ppointnieiit of Constables, Commissioners
ot the roads, &c. There are two parties in
this Shite, and hence arises the question,
wbieb of them is cis and, and which is wrong?
There is no s .tivf ichon to be gained on this
subject, by examining the newspapers, for
•liey are contradictory, and some of them
ramt be liar?, but the liar, 1 find, i* not easily
ascertained. How then is the honest, ii|>-
‘ ight friend *o his country’s pro*p< rlty to make
a proper selection out of the Candidates In-fore
Own?— 1s t him < uquirr into their qualified
tions, sad not to be L and to the poll* by th# sy

erned by party, in voting, it will be by the
honest and well-meaning party, if t can be
able to ascertain who that party is; and I
shall pay particular attention, iii the mean
time, to the hobby riding party. But, to re
turn to the candidates, I am of opinion that
t e inrfvl accumulation of aspirants to public
honors, is the main cause of the party strife
amongst the people ; and I have resolved, and
re-resolved, if there shoulri be any new acces
sions to the present alarming number of can
didates, to enter my most solemn protest—
“Troup and the Treaty” to the contrary not
withstanding.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.
May 17, 102 G.
SIR: The members of the Georgia
delegation have, both during your
administration and also that of your
predecessor, by whom these indigni
ties were, for the first time, tolerated,
been so frequently and so impudently
assailed for their conduct w hilst dis
charging their duties as Representa
tives in the Congress of the United
States, by Indians visiting this city,
at the invitation or under the sanction
of the Executive, that some notice
would at length seem necessary to be
taken.
The repeated insults which have
been offered have, hitherto, been
unnoticed, under the hope that the
Department of War would its If see
the propriety of intimating to the
authors its disapprobation. As no
such disapprobation has been evinc
ed, it i- now deemed proper to address
you, as the head of the Department,
on this subject, and to present to you
the suggestion, that, whilst thesi
persons are maintained here, nay,
arc revelling at the expense of the
People of the United States, they
should at least he taught to be respectful
in their conduct and expressions to the
Representatves of that People. The
present communcation is addressed
to you in consequence of the appear
ance in the National Journal of this
morning, of a piece officially signed
“John Ridge, Secretary Creek Dele
gation ” Os the character of this
piece, my feelings will not permit
me to say a single word. lam sure
it will receive your marked and
strong disapprobation. I would
merely observe, that the insolence o
thisfellovv is particularity remarkable,
when it is borne in mind that he is o,
the Cherokee and not of the Creek
nation, and, consequently, could have
nothing to do with matters exclusive
ly belonging to the latter. You will,
no doubt, recollect, that, at the com
mencement of this session, during, a
visit which thr eof my colleagues
knd myself paid to you at your office,
we stated his disposition to int rmed
dle in the transaction between the
General Government and the Creek
nation, the manifestation of which
disposition as we were informed, had
already occasioned his being reduced
from his rank as a chief in his own
nation, and that we, at the sanii- time
suggested it as advisabie that lie
should not be recognized as a part of
the Creek delegation. No doubt is
entertained but that you are now ful
ly satisfied that his appendage to the
Creek delegation has been far from
facilitatingthe arrangements between
the Goverment and the Creek nation
recently effected, and, I may also add,
very far from being beneficial to th
public Treasury
Whether any particular notice of
this fellow, ought, at this time, to b
tnken by our Department, 1 leave to
your own decision, without offering
any suggestion whatever on the su! -
ject. 1 will merely add, that liie
National Journal in which the otlen
ive article is first published, i
regarded by th b public, (I would not
he guilty of the rudeness, nor, as, !
do not know it to he the fact, could 1
assert as the fact,) as the leading
admimslrtionpaper —t hat the indigni
ties received by the members o: th'
Georgia delegation have been offered
under the eye of the Government : that
the persons offering these indtgnitie
derive a consequence from beiip
recognized by the Cover merit as officii,
persons : that tin -e indignities ha»<
ill been off-red and r their afibiul
signatures: that these persons are
maintained here, and suffered to riot
hi luxury, at I he expense of the pub
lic Treasury : and tiiat, therefore, it is
competent for the Department of
War, ami, beiifg so it is its duty, to
Check them whenever their conduct
up % {<«• indecorous.
GEORGIA STAESMAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1826.
This subject may, perhaps, n ver
before Jiave been presented in tin
serious light to you. i am, however,
from myjknowledge of your character,
perfectly assured that you will, sug
gest* and if now is to your Consider;
tion, deem it, in future, necessary to
interpose, to prevent the feelings,
and character, and conduct of gentle
men, called to the b'eat of Gover
nment in the discharge of duties im
portant to (heir constituents, from
being in any manner assailed by per
sons brought here at the instigation
or under the sauction of the Executive.
I am, sir with the most cordial
personal esteem, and with the high
est respect, your very obedient
servant, EDWD. F. TATNAL.
To the Hon. Jas. Barbour, Sec. of War.
De PARTMF.NT OF W.4R, )
May 18th, 1826. \
Sir : As you suggest in votir noti
°‘ Tvsterday, I had supposed that thr
convention \ had held with you a
J e ' v dr, y <? Vjst, on the subject of vout
letter of the nth. rendered it'un
necessary to j 0 y OU j n W riting
.is you wish, inwever, a written
answer, I cheerfu)ly^j ve ; t .
To so much ofyQutUjHer as refer*
to indignities offered tA*
fives of Georgia, by Indian iv. ‘
tions under a former Admiuist.’trt&
it was not, 1 presume, expectoitAJ
should make any reply. To the one>
you particularity refer to—a recent
publication in the National Journal
you have done me only justice in sup
posing that I entirely disapproved of
it. I had anticipated your sugges
tion, by causing the Creek Delega
tion to be expressly told, on their ar
rival here, that the Department would
sec, with displeasure, any deportment
on their part that would give offence
justly to any one. No importance
can attach with propriety to the pa
per in which it appeared, as the
Executive, feels no responsibility for
its publications. The editor availing
himself of his privileges, publishes
what he pleases on his own responsi
bility. Had I have been consulted
previously, 1 should have given my
advice against that ofwhich you com
plain. Beyond that you are aware
it would be improper to interpose,
and as unavailing as improper. If
these people were here for t. eir own
purpose alone, our authority over
them would be much greater than at
present, when the Goverment has an
object to effect—-and to conciliate
them is one of the principle means of
effecting that object. Upon this
branch of the subject, I must correct
an error into which, from an expres
sion which yon use, you must have
been led by misinformation. You
speak of their reveling in luxury at
the expense of the People. I fe->
the more constrained to notice this
particularly, because, on the floor 0.
Congress, the Department lias beei
charged with pampering the one par
ty with campaigne, and treating the
other penuriously. Now the fact is,
they were both treated precisely n
alike—to each was assigned nine doi
lars per head a week—and the ac
counts against both for any indulgen
ces beyond the above allowance
reject (I. Although I am oppose
to anv interference of members 1 !
one tribe in the concerns of anothe .
yet, in the case of Ridge and V
.hev w, represented, not a*- membet
..fthe Delegation, but as Secretary -
So long as you respect the India
as an indipendant People, with who
you treat you must i du'ge to them
the privilege of selecting their own
agent s. .
To reject the object cf their own
choice, would be but an inauspicious
commenceme >t to any friendly ar
rangement ofthe diliiculties, who*.
1 moval was the object of the agency,
not being sufficiently advised of th
influence that these men poss s
sed, or exercised over the Creeks,
I cannot say whether they have
increased or diminished the obsta
cles to pacification, or cons quently
whether it had any influence on tip:
public Treasury. I hope no occasion
will again occur like the one com
plained of. From what I have pn -
victisly said, you may be assured 1
shall use such means as are in my
power to prevent it.
I feel particularity obliged to you
for the friendly sentiments you ex
press to me personally, and tak
pleasure in saying they are cordially
reciprocated on my part.
With great respect, your obedieut
i-rvant, JAMES BARBOUR.
