ages and towns of Greece, the lead

uid the unhappy victims of all those
Misfortunes, are still present to oui
minds. Nearly all ol’us have seen
mothers dying in the arms of their
aughters, daughters yielding their

famine, cold, and the death which
those privations occasioned, are evil

often presented themselves to out]
«ycs overflowing with tears. Many)

distress so deplor; hie and so griev-J
uusaswe have seen others suffer!
and have ourselves undergone. ?
“But we assure vou, friends off
Greece, none of the calamities w*-j
have ju-1 mentioned, have so muchfc
lacerated our hearts, as the inhuman-!
ity, or rather absolute barbarity!
shown towards our nation by many!
of those who boasted that they were!
born in the more enlightened parts oil
Europe ; that they had read admiral
b!e books on morality written by ouri
ancestors; and, w hat is still more as J
tonishing, that they were disciples of!
the gospel, and had listened to thel
precepts of the most enlightener!*
teachers of virtue.
“Yes, friends of Greece, the-el
wges were indeed oppressive, thevl
were overpowering; hut, by the iuJ
dependence of our country, we de l
flare that the unexampled courage,
with which many of our countrywo
men have resolved ratiier to be pre
cipitated into the depths of abysses,
to be cast into the (lames, to become
the prey of wild beasts, to contend
with famine in deserts and caverns,
than again to undergo the inhuman
slavery of the Turks—the idea that
dll we suffered was occasioned by
the love we bore our country—made
our misfortunes not alone supporta
ble, but even in some measures ac
ceptable, amidst our tribulations. Be
sides, had we to wonder that such
misfortunes were inflicted upon us
by such enemies ?
“ But who, we say not of our conn
irymen, but ofthe Turks themselves
could have ventured to imagine that
he would 3ce millions of Christians
regard with apathy and indifference,
as it in a Roman amphitheatre, the
whole of the Turkish hordes, united
and allied, prepared to rush on a few
Christians in order to extirpate them
with fire and sword ? And on what
account ? because they had resolved
io redeem from slnv. ry the land that
gave them birth, and to prevent in
Juturc the Turkish tigers from feed
,mg on her entrails. YVlio could
have thought that the Koran would
have more influence in rousing the
Turks unanimously against 11-, than
the voices of the sages of Europe,
and the admonitions of tlie expoun
ders ofthe Gospel, have hitherto had
in exciting the sympathy of the
Christians touvert the manyevilst"
which we have been and still con-1
t inue to be exposed. f
" But perhaps, as many enlighten-!

it might be done without injury t.i

Besides, is it not aidicting to per

alter the proclamation of that indit-l
Terence or neutrality, instead of re-1
attaining tranquil and neutral -pecta!

FOB THE STATE.-MAN.
The peaceful citizen, who has th
raiiquilitv ;ind honor of the countr
.a e;irt, is astonished at the upro
ich is attempt and to be exciti
hroug!. the State on the subject »

own representation merit their most

I trust in God. that the day
not yet arrived in my native State,
when principle is to he immolated o
Hie altar of ambition. I hope th|:
a decent regard to moral honesty
nd a high respect for political integ
rity, will still characterize the on.:
ody of our citizens. He whom iu

the Indians. 1 would not o

vised by either to go If the P.
dent of the United States shou,

ugniug that instrument, I know not
h;it developement might be made.
1: Mclntosh had not authority fron

who acted with him did not const
Hite a majority of the chiefs of tl
ation, will any man having a con.

nd bis associates were competent t>
'li ! That they had not thisauthc

lotosh. If he had a majority <
1 'hiefs, and the people in his fax
’•nv was he afraid to return to tl 1
n*tion 7 Was th* stronger power e\
..iid of the weaker ? He hac
i red a military fame which wa*
<;* an awe to his people. Yet wo
his fame, and his boasted majot
' v he was afraid of a trifling minor
tv! What preposterousness! H
knew that he had done what he coni
. 1 ot lawfully do, and fled from to
vengeance of an injured people. L*
the eloquence of Judge Berrien sint
ids virtues, hut let the houcsty of th
eomatiry of the country spurn tb>
traitor. We have found men wh
. <*uld abuse Andrew Jackson —appl
oi him all the epithets of rufliso
Ilesperado, and traitor; and yet ido
ze an executed victim of his com
try’s righteous resentment. Th*
very circumstance of our Senators’
voting against the communication o
Me evidence impugning the ol*
Treaty ; their supporting it maini*
ii the ground that it had been rati
ed ; and not attempting to sustaii
on its intrinsic fairness, are con
lusive ou the point of its havitq
’wen negotiated by Mclntosh, with
et sufficient power. For the ser
vices of Mclntosh to us in the late
";<r, and the manly and heroic spirit
which he exhibited, ue honor him;
■>r his endeavors on that occasio
o undeceive his people, and awakei
ihem to their most substantial intei
-ts, we respect him; but for h -
' r**achery to his own people we d<
ise him. Let the man who am
peak an eulogy for Mclntosh, pr*
are a panegyric for Benedict A mol*
tit as long as honest blood fills ft
fins of my countrymen, they w*.,
ertainly contemn the raitor and
*iiu>r the patriot. “ Righteousne
bxalteth a nation, hut sin is a r« -
roach to any people.”
If the Treaty was contaminate*’
•vith fraud, who will raise his voic*
i t support of it ? Not the man win
ould not commit a ftaud liimsetl.
iixpediency can never justify criin*
But one ground on which the oh.
Treaty is pretended to be supported
* . that it had passed to Georgi.
ested rights. By those who argu*
n this way the fraud is admitted.
But admit the fra id and the argu
i>t is gone. Fraud vitiates even
sirument, even the most solenu
< i. tracts; and it is at the option o
e party on whom the fraud ha
;i j ractised, to abrogate it, and u

Those who are acquainted with : • |

'■hen t>!ie of the parties to a privai

resort to arms. But a nation gun
I hj a sense of justice will not pei

with ample powers, by which wi
ave obtained the whole Creek ter

man examine these things, and say it
there is any cause for the present at

country. With some exceptions,! the

t t he young gentlemen of the bsr who were
t tftf meeting at Eatonton, are exceptions to
his description ; but the conduct of every man
j highly censurable, who attempts to force
,ch excitements.
FOR THE STATESMAN.
It is really laughable, and at the
me time disgusting,to see the game
f'ins and outs” the Troupites ar*J
Haying, and their reiterated incon j
istent attempts to impose on the
eople of Georgia. Previous to the
*st presidential election, the Troup
resscs throughout Georgia, teemed
ith fiothing but praise to the Radi
al Chief, and abuse of General Jaeki
od. Jackson was denounced as a
tyrant, a despot, and a cold blooded
nurderer , and fit only for the gal
lows ; and some of them (Oh, noble
hilanthrophists) even said that th* *
votild “glory in hanging him without
judge or Jury.” But they arc now
onvinced th-«t the people of Geor
gia were in favor of “Old Hicbory
and happily for the Utiited State-,
Crawford has been defeated in his
pretentions to the presidential chatr.
Now mark their play, and their in
consistency. They all proclaimed
Crawford their first choice, Adams
heir next, and any one in preference
to Jackson ; but this they have not
honest candor enough to acknowl
'ge ; yet it is known to he the fact.
•-.Veil Adams was elected, and they
were pretty well satisfied, until they
t'iimd that friend John could not get
«'i appointo.cot ir, the Cabinet, ami
hat Troup could not by bis threat-,
care Adam; from the course lie had
laid down to pursue. Then it was
that they began to cry out “oppres
ion,” and to traduce the Generai
Covcrnment, as encroaching on t* t
ights of Georgia ; and on the floor
•* the Legislature, resolutions wer*-
ntroduced, condemning the whol
cnor of Adams’s conduct, arid re
ommending General Jackson to the
, ople of Georgia, as t[je next Pre
dent—but the people wanted no
ich recommendation, they were for
ckson already. Ah ! but Craw
r«J was politically defunct ; their
"(Hilarity was dying with him; their
inposition on the people had di-clo
-ed itself, and the vengeance they
justly merited was about to ov< r
k them. 'Th y saw the only al
t native, which afforded them any
pe of escape. ‘Twas the cause o/
■ ;i - k-on, of th people; and front
. most violent, personal and polit
opponents enemies, and ba-e,

ckson, they all wheeled right about,
now have the effrontery to say,
• a tlie very face ot truth, that they
re the only old, true and consistent
■ riendsof Jackson ; and that we, who
have ever been enli-ted under hit
banner, and defending him again t
their slanderous imputations an.
• alsehoods, were, and ever had be* i

wink wheels their whole phalanx

CAPT. FRANKLIN’S EXPEDITION.
The Detroit Gazette gives the ful
lowing intelligence ofthe progress of
this enterprising traveller, in an ex
tract of a letter to the editor of th
paper, from the gentleman at ii«
Sam de Stc. Marie, dated April 1: .
The ground is still covered wi, *
more than two feet of sn* tv, and the
nver fast hiflil in the embraces of tv •
ter. Duringthe winter the weather
has been incredibly severe—them,
the extreme of cold as indicated b
-pirits of wine, was but 31 deg. below
zero. From a correct register of the
lepth of snow, taken as it fell, w<
find an aggregate of seventeen and
a half set, and it is now snow in,
quite fast.
One of Capt. Franklin’s party, wi
i- the bearer of despatches for th
\dmiralty Office, passed this post o:
the second of April, from whom w
learn, through the agents of ti *
Hudson’s Bay Company, that Ca| .
F. reached the shores of the Arc!
Sea, on the 14t!i of August, with* i
encountering any of the Esquimau'
in descending M’Kenzie’s river, 11:
having retired to their glacial habit,

the bearer of despatches left th* t
on the 6.th September. Doctor Rt* b
Jardson had in the mean time beet* ~
[search of the copper mountain, aiiud-
Ll to in the printed journal.
It is to be hoped that the severity
of the weather v. ill nut prevent et
early movement of the party th.

that the rigor of their winter has
been increased in a ratio correspond
