If an individual feel himself aggrieved by any thing pub lished in relation to himself, the universal law of the country and of common usage has established the mode of redress. The Editor bimself is responsible only, when, the author’s name being properly demanded, he refuses to give it up. We deemed it expedient thus far, to be explicit with some of our friends, and to assure them that such are the rules we shall abide by under every responsibility. “ At such a time as this” when party zeal is chafed into strong excitement, we grant “it were not meet that every nice offence should bear its comment." Nor have we been in haste to obtrude these observations upon the public. It is now twenty days since the circumstances which occa sioned them, took place. We believed Mr. Howard, up on cool reflection, would have disapproved this indecorous assumption over the liberties of the press, and that he existing duty. In fact, it would have violated the very spirit of our Republican Institutions. The poor man has no right to exclusive privileges on account of his poverty, nor the rich man on account of his wealth, each should bear the burdens of Government according to their several abilities. But the odious and oppressive system of mo nopoly, the taxing the many in the articles of consump tion for the benefit of the few—the shackling of commerce and agriculture, for the sole aggrandisement of domestic manufactures, are principles and doctrines, against which, we do most solemnly protest. However much, we re gretted the Tariff of 1824, and viewed in its enactment, the commencement of a system of injustice and oppres sion upon our commercial and agricultural interests, yet we fondly cherished the hope that the prodigious advan tages afforded thereby to the advocate of domestic man ufacturers, would have certainly satisfied their avarice, & that no further attempt would have been made, at least, at so early a period, to carry into effect, and perfect com pletely the system of monopoly. But time and experience have proved to us, most conclusively, that they intend not to withhold until their object is completely fulfilled ;nor are we under any obligation to them for the defeat of their “ Woollens Bill,” but are indebted in some degree to their mutual jealousy, and selfishness, in the dividend of the loaves and fishes.—We therefore, most earnestly recon- mend to our fellow citizens, the propriety of assembling assumption over press, ana and giving a public expression of their opinion, in mild would have made the apology he promised ; for surely, if and energetic language, in relation to this odious and op- a man ask the suffrages of the sovereign people, to consti-pressive measure ; and to prevent, if possible, the dreadful ... ....... . .1 catastrophe of becoming hewers of wood and drawers of tute him their political representative, it is but reasonable ! water. After the Examination of the Fall collectors list to expect they will exercise the privilege of freely and openly, canvassing his political merits. Convention, or, No Convention. There are doubtless many who do not know, and per haps others who have forgotten, that it is expected, by virtue of a Resolution of the last Legislature, that each voter will endorse on his ticket at the October election— "Convention, or No Convention. 11 The object proposed by this convention, as may be seen by the Resolution itself, is to determine upon the expediency of reducing the num ber of members in the Legislature. The question is an important one, and they who think fewer men, and more talents would better serve the public weal, will say ( Convention." of Insolvents, we feel willing to allow him, the credit of five hundred and thirty dollars seventy-three and a quar ter cents, for his Insolvent list. We tender to their Honors, Judges Kenan and McDon ald, our thanks for their promptness and fidelity in the discharge of the business of this Court. We request, that so much of our Presentments, as are of a public nature, be inserted in the Statesman & Patriot, and Georgia Journal, published in Milledgeville. JAMES P. HOLMES, Foreman. Extract of a Letter dated, Clinton 17th August, 1827. —“ FORSYTH is loosing ground in this quarter every day. The idea of his being an enemy to Washington is so pre valent among the people, that his best friends are ashamed to mention his name, particularly in the country : They say that any man who is so mean as to refuse the sum of Five Hundred Dollars to preserve the testimonials of Washington’s services to his country, must be a Tory! They say a great deal about Forsyth's speech against Washington, and have gone as far in Butts county as to Burn his Effigy !" John C. Gibson, John Robis son, William D.

Several blocks of stone, of four and five tons weight, are left upon large piles of timber fifteen or twenty feet from the ground. Trees of the largest size have been swept from the place where they have stood for ages, and are now congregated in rude but lofty piles at the base of the elevation. The whole ground, thus cleared as it were in a few moments,presents a wild and barren waste. Not a stump, not a shrub or plant remains to tell that vegetation was ever there, save two lonely trees near the centre of the tract, whose trunks twisted & bent, seem weeping for their lost companions and sighing over the wide spread desolation. Fortunately no house was standing near the spot, and no human life was lost."< HALSTED § ROWLAND, HAVE JUST RECEIVED PER BOAT DOLPHIN; 6 8 25 30 20 8 1 1 Hhd. St. Croix Sugar, do. N. C.

Andrew Williams Esq. Editor of the Huntsville De- mocrat, was shot dead in the streets of Huntsville, on the 23d ult. by J. W. M Clung, with whom he had had a Newspaper controversy. It is but a few days since we were informed that me or two gentlemen left this place under cover of the night, with loaded pistols and other weapons, to go to Macon, with designs upon the Editor of the Ma con Telegraph. We can also boast of a little chivalry of this sort towards ourself; but to what extent these san- guinary measures have been privately concerted for our special behoof, we are not entirely certain—Those that are not overt, and unconcealed, must be infered trom the *signs of the times." Mr. Howard, a candidate to represent this county in the next Legislature, accosted us on the 7th inst. in a ve ry rude and uncivil manner, touching a dialogue which ap peared in this paper of the 6th, in which Mr. H’s. politics were spoken of in these words—“ Your representative Howard has openly and frankly avowed his opposition to Jackson also.” While he admitted the truth of the state- ment, he asseverated with great superciliousness of man ner, that his name should not be used in the paper in any such way. This high-toned dictation of censorship on the freedom of the press was understood to be aimed, not on ly at the writer, but more especially at the Editor him- self, upon the peril of his “ spilling all the blood that run in his body !" We do not recollect that the gentleman distinctly spe- cified on oath that he should do himself the pleasure to let any of our blood in such an event, though something too was hinted about pistols, shooting &c.—and that he should hold us personally responsible for all we published, whether we ourself was author of it or not.* Whether this violent and uncourteous bearing was the efferves cence of an irasible spirit, kindled into expression by the fear of defeat, or whether it was the first, or the last, of a concert of efforts to intimidate or stifle the voice of the press in regard to a party which at this moment stands committed, and much alarmed, for their opposition to Jackson, is a question that time may develope. Rumor has whispered some difficulty about the selection of a single champion who would be able to make a successful commencement of hostilities, and still grea ter doubt, as to the numbers, that would be willing to Jwim the Hellespont upon so doubtful an argument. «Come one, come all! This rock shall fly *From its firm base, as soon as I.’ 1 We are men of peace—and not “ very splenetic or rash ;” wet are we not to be dictated to in a matter of duty, or tyrannised out of our civil rights or political opinions. Tortures and the stake will not effect it. As the conduc tor of a free press, we claim no more than the laws, the genius,.and the usages of our government have granted. The people of America are a sovereign people—the free dom of the press and the liberty of speech, are the mid dle diadem of their sovereignty, and the sword which guards it, bears this inscription.—“ Nemo me IMPURE LACESSIT." For the lawful exercise of this privilege, as of all oth ers under the constitution, the editor, in common with the citizen, is amenable to the judicial tribunal. It is the glory of this, in our country, that it shields the press, the fireside and the altar, with inviolable barriers. In the vestibule of these rights justice has appointed her sword and ber balance, to defend with the one what she awards by the other. If, in exercise of the sovereign right of canvassing the measures or opinions of men who are be fore the public in the attitude of soliciting their suffrages for some high political trust, we shall have imbibed a wrong impression, advanced on erroneous conclusion, or misconceived, or mistold the sentiments of any one, we shall always take great pleasure in rectifying the error the earliest moment we are convinced of it. If any writer in our columns commit a like error, whether inad vertently or by design—we shall be equally prompt with our aid to establish that reparation which shall appear to us to be due from the circumstances. The absurd notion * A day or two after the conversation here related, a sprightly young man called on us with much the same language—vaunting that ft he should never look behind the Editor for an author <’' Jackson and Talbot Meeting.—The citizens of Bald, win county, agreeably to public notice, met on the 25th inst. to express their veneration and attachment for these distinguished individuals, and to recommend and adopt such measures as are best calculated to secure their elec tion. The principles which actuated so large a portion of our citizens to assemble on this occasion, as set forth in chaste and manly terms by Col. Rockwell, and Mr. Hepburn, who addressed the assembly with peculiar ap propriateness and effect, will be more fully detailed in our next. The number present is stated from actualenu meration, to exceed four hundred, including about twenty Troup men. There may be a vaporing few who will blow their pipes lustily and effect to feel a great deal of ridicule towards these meetings, which we under stand are becoming quite universal, but there issues nev ertheless a voice from them which no human rebuke can contravene or abash. It is a congress of the sovereign people themselves in festive communion—and who can oppose them ! When they are afraid to meet at the polls in their own cause, they may then fear to meet on such an occasion as this. The same spirit pervades both. In the latter case, they Resolve—in the former, they will fulfil. Meteorological Observations.—Dr. Adam Clarke has lately communicated to the public some meteorological observations, in which he remarks : “From my earliest childhood I was bred up on a little farm, and as I found that much of our success depended on a proper knowledge and management ofthe weather, I was led to study it ever since I was eight years of age." In this science he states that he has attained extraordinary success, as the result of which he advocates the weather table attributed to Dr. Herschel, but which the son of that gentleman has re cently disclaimed on the part of his late Father. Dr. Clarke says, that the accuracy of this table is truly amaz ing; and that, if Dr. Herschel had lived for no other pur pose than to construct it, posterity would have reason to bless his memory. Some of our meteorological readers may perhaps thank us for inserting this table as arranged by Dr. Clarke. THE FRIGATE BRANDYWINE It is not known, that on the arrival of this frigate in the Pacific, she had a trial of speed with the United States, one of the fastest sail ers in the navy, and doubts have been express ed as to the result. We are enabled to state, from the information of a gentleman who was on board one of the frigates at the time, how the matter really stood. The United States was reverenced by her crew Captain Hull was as proud of her as he was of Old Ironsides. When he heard that the Brandywine was expected out, and heard her powers of sailing highly extolled, he de termined to have a good humoured contest with her. She arrived in good time, and the race was fixed for a day certain The wind, at the appointed time, was on a quarter ; the United States, (or as the sailors call her, The Old Wagon ; being ahead, backed ber topsails, and let the Brandywine come up alongside All sail then spread; every inch of canvass was out in the wind. Both ships’ crews were full of ardour and anxiety, and some British men of war in the harbour bad all hands up the shrouds to view the scene. The race was only doubtful for a few minutes.. The United States gained on the Lafayette, (as she is generally styled in the navy ) so fast that she soon shewed her stern, and in an hour clued up her topgallant-sails and royals, to let her adversary come alongside, in token of vic tory. Her crew gave three hearty cheers, and all parties took a social glass together on board the victorious ship. We are told that the superiority of the United States over all vessels in the Pacific, is now generally ac- knowledged on the station.—Ant Palladium. JACKSON TICKET—Morgan county.

Extract from the Presentments of the Grand Jury of Jas per county, at August Term, 1827. Notwithstanding the practice may be condemned, of Grand Jurors taking notice of any public matter that does not, immediately appertain to the concerns of their coun ties, in their presentments, which may be rendered to the Coart, we thereby cannot admit, that our rights and pri vileges, as citizens in a government, constituted like ours, are abridged from the circumstance of our being called jurors, for the time being, so far as to preclude us from the expression of our opinion of any measure, and at any time, in violating, as we conceive, the dearest interests of our county. We then, as members in part, of the Great American Fair ily, avail ourselves of this opportunity, of manifesting our entire disapprobation at the attempts of certain politi cians, during the last session of the Congress of the U. States, to pass into a law, a certain bill, known and dis- tinguished as the ‘‘Woollens Bill.” Had it become a law, it would have been a grieveous tax upon the poor, for the benefit of domestic manufactures—but it would have im- Life of General Andrew Jackson.—We had several calls yesterday, for the “ Life of Gen eral Andrew Jackson,” the frequency of which rather surprised us, until the mystery was un ravelled on ascertaining the following facts. vi z :—on Saturday evening last, there was a book auction in this city, which was fully and respectably attended. In the course of the evening, among other books, the life General Jackson was put up for sale, which is a book about the size of a testament, in ordinary plain binding, and the price of which is about 75 cents in the bookstores. There were two copies of the work offered for sale, one of which was knocked off to a gentleman at $1, and the other was sold to ano ther individual for $2. So great however, was the solicitude to obtain a copy, that the last purchaser was requested to put up his copy for sale again, but he refused to part with it for any price, when the gentleman who had pur- chased the first copy for $1, consented to put it up again, and such was the rapidity ofthe bids and the anxiety to get the book, that in a few minutes it was run up to SIX DOLLARS & TWENTY FIVE CENTS, at which price it was knocked off to a gentleman, who abso lately refused to put it up again. The facts sufficiently account for the frequent calls at our bookstore yesterday, for "the life of Gen eral Andrew Jackson,” and are a pretty strong indication of the state of the public sentiment in favor of the second saviou of his country, the hero of New Orleans.—Troy Register. posed little or no additional burden on the rich, while the poor would have been compelled to pay a tax of one hundred per cent upon the coarse cloth, which he purchas ed to cover his nakeness, and shield him from the wintry blast.—The wealthy individual who clothed himself with GREEN MOUNTAINS. At Dorset, in Bennington county, what is termed a Landslip, descended on the 27th June, the effects of which have excited great curiosity, and attracted crowds of visitors. The height of the mountain at that place is two thousand feet, and the ascent steep. The falling ofthe earth, stones, &c. was occasion ed by overwhelming torrents of rain. The Boston Traveller says— “From present appearances it would seem that the very windows oi Heaven had been o- pened ; that the clouds were literally broken, and that a solid column of water, of gigantic size, had descended, in two places, about half a mile distant from each other, and with resist less fury swept away every thing within its reach. The whole distance in which its rava- ops are seen is about one mile and a quarter, blast.-The wealthy individual who clothed bimseit with B could measure probably twenty costly raiment, would have paid no more than the present, and the area would meast probably twenty - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, GA 7 Milledgeville, 22d August, 1827.5 ORDERED: HAT the Resolution, passed at the last Session of the Legislature, on the subject of calling a Con vention, be published, once a week, in all the Gazettes of this State, until the day of the next General Election. ATTEST, GEO. R. CLAYTON, Sec’ry. IN SENATE, 18th Dec. 1827. Whereas, both branches of the General Assembly are too numerous, creating great expense and delay in the dispatch of public business, and is according to the pop ulation in the respective counties, very unequal—And whereas, also from the increasing number of members in both branches of the general assembly, the house set apart for their deliberations will not be sufficiently large for that purpose, and will consequently be required to be en- larged at very great expense—therefore. Be it resolved, That at the next general election for members ofthe General Assembly, the voters be request- ed to signify to the ensuing legislature whether they wish a convention for the special and exclusive purpose of al tering the 3d and 7th sections of the 1st article of the Con- stitution of this State, so far as to authorise a reduction of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and to be apportioned hereafter upon the principles of the population alone, and in order to ascertain the sense of the voters on this subject, those who are in favor of a con vention will please endorse on their tickets the word ‘ Con- vention’—those who are against it will endorse the words 1 No Convention.’ Will be Sold, N the first Tuesday in OCTOBER next, at Carnes ville, Franklin county, between the usual hours of sale, the following property (to wit:) Five Hundred Acres of LAND, more or less on tha waters of Tugulo River, adjoining Thomas Farmer, and S.
