It is not improbable, (someone ■night observe) that these Canal Boats being ■cine in Savannah River, would find no fur— ■(her impediment to unburthep ilieir con cuts ■into Steam-huats for Charleston , (provided ■the shippers s i order it,) and in.support of ■that probability, die conduct of the ner ■ chants of Augusta might be .urged, who now ■ pass tiie wharves d*’ Savannah, and prefer ■ their own interest to the necessity oi that city. ■ Her citizens have lately ugita eo the subject ■ 0! internal improvement, with a spirit which ■ deserves commendation. But we fear that effectual remedy of this sort is beyond the Teach of Legislative powers, or individual fw erprise. Ihe truth of Savannah having dt rimed while in possession of all the natu ral advantages she ever enjoyed, plainly in dicates dial tne causes must lie deeper than could be effected by any ordinary application ! of corrective measures. But shall the citizens of Georgia remain ‘ contented, and see with apathy that her ri— ! Val. Charleston, gathers strength from the decay of her neighbor, aod enrich her with our own state'Commerce? Ha* Georgia no i T<sources? Jf she cannot reinstate Savannah i into its former flour siting condition, can she Tint ha e another seaport on lier extensive : ocas’, in point of natural advantages far pre ferable even t'lfUrleston. V\ e believe she can—and the extensive country now settled between the Oconee and Ocmulgee, and that Bow settliugbetween that and Flint river, look fur a port more convenient to them than Sa vannah, They have indeed that of Darien, but it j s little favored by nature, that we ®annot believe it will, ever become a place ot coinnie cial importance.

Tp that place also. Merchants are very quick sighted to their interest, and we understand there are already steam-boats building in Charleston to intercept that trade; for it is us easy to go from Darien to Charleston, as from Augusta. ’ A few years ago this very Mr. Henry Shultz, whose genius can not only perceive, but quickly realize and embrace advantages, ! purchased a great part of the lots iu Bruns wick, and requested leave of the Legislature of Georgia, (at his own cost, anertor his own , emolument to be sure,) to open a canal of j” about ten miles only in length; and unite the | waters of Alatainaha and Turtle Rivers, and furnish Georgia with a seaport of the first rate; an undertaking of so much advantage j to the up country, that he tliouflit the offer would be accepted without hesitation and I ‘with thanks—but it was then thought a matter of so much consequence that the fur ther ednsuierat ion of it was postponed. Ad-’ verse circumstances combined with his rest less spirit of enterprise, have since caused him to leave the state he intended to benefit, . and to build the town of Hamburg, as spec tacles on the nose of Augusta, which no doubt . incommode tiie wearer. But this is not all; having been thwarted in ail his designs and J solicitude to promote the interests of tiie ! Georgia Steam-boat Company, he opened j the steam-boat navigation between Hamburg and Charleston, which more than any tiling else li is contributed to the decay of Savan- j nah. Had there been that attention paid to j the real interests ot the State, and particu- 1 larlv tiie south western section of it, that it j deserved, we would not now have to lament j (lie losses of Savannah, anti not less the loss ! of an enterprising citizen, who can plan, but also execute with dispatch, out at that time the interest of the Eastern section was vet too powerful, anti that of the West- i ern not properly understood and supposed. Tins being no longer the case, the ques- i tiou is now no less than this: Will Georgia • have a fit and proper sea port at all or shall J she peaceably and quietly consent to see gradually all her produce conveyed to Charleston, and make her purchases there also. We may say, to be sure we choose to have a a£a part of ohr own, but let us take time to consider a few years longer. The predilection of our merchants to trade to Charleston may abate, and Savannah may re cover again; the state is besides interested in the Banks located in Savannah, and in the Steam-boat Company, &c, Hu* this.reason ing for delay would be like that ot a bank rupt to procrastinate the evil day. It would not raise the property mortgaged to the Hanks in savannah hue .single cent, and lose its tiie opportunity of acquiring that which we might have, namely, a sea port, in every respect superior to that of Savannah—we will not say Savannah only, but of Charleston also. Brunswick bs a place reputed for health at all seasons of the year, perfectly open to the sea. and adjacent to islands which afford the mos’ comfortable summer retreats —vessels bf great burthens can cross the bar at all tunes, and find ample and safe anchorage. The adjacent country abounds in the best timber for ship building, anil no where to the southward a navy-yard could be erected to better advantage. A southern port having the advantages of health far superior to Charleston will not fail to attract r ; ch capitalists to settle there permanently with their families, and improve the lands they live cm, and those who get there poorj,would not, after having acquired a little competency, be induced to leave it. — Foreigners would not be afraid to visit it at all tunes, snd we should not have to lament the death of whole ships’ crews, as lias been the case sometimes in botii Savannah and Charleston. The unhealthiness of Savan nah is is one of the chief causes of its decay, and also one of the greatest impediments to wards its reebvery. It is a place where few others but adventurers would come to, and ■ all who have been fortunate enough to accu mulate something in winter, quit it to escape sickness and spendtheir earnings in summer, and so continue until they find a better chance, or nay the customary tribute to an unhealthy climate Charleston has but little better to boast of, although its climate is re puted to be congenial to its settled inhabitants , yet even they are compelled to he shut up, prisoner like, in the town duriiig the sum mer, with the priviledge of visiting the sands of Sullivan’s Island. An excursion of onh a few miles into the country, and stay of 24 ! hours subjects thAn to the country fever, 1 and almost certain death. Can there be any doubt that a southern port which posseses, besides other conveniences, the advantage ofhealth aud comfort;"and agreeable places of resort for amusement and sport, will ra p.rily flourish and and increase? We believe not—and venture to predict that as soon as 1 the opening of that canal is once resolved on, j and the work begun, the building of suffi ’ cient store houses to transact business in, will he the immediate and simultaneous con sequence, anil we should not be astonished to see some of the Savannah merchants be come the firsl settlers there. Notwithstand ing the impediments which now exist in the Oconee and Ocmulgee rivers, there is a cer tainty that tTiey can be removed, and the in terest which the back country is daily acquir ing, guarantees that efficient measures will, long, be adopted, to accomplish this ob ject sufficient for the navigation of suitable steam-boats on the late improved plans. At alj events Georgia will, ere long, have ano ther seaport to receive the produce from the West, and those who can see a little into futurity, will perceive that there will be vision line from which the trade will either divert to Mobile or the cential port connect ed with the Alatamaha, and those who can see into this, will not hesitate to settle in a place which has the prospect of becoming; at no distant period, a place where West Indian, and European Goods may be bought and sold on as good terms as in any port of the North, j DARIEN, (GEORGIA,)— — s ?mtßl mi <!*ract Tm’&c. TtTESIUY, SEPTEMBERS. 18 4. FROM THE NATIONAL 1 NTEt.LIGS ‘Jo;R. The Slave Trade Convention. — I’he Lon don Courier makes the following remark* upon the Proceedings in the Senate of file United States, in regard to the Convention with Great Britain respecting the Slave Trade: “New-York papers to the 2 \ instant have reached us. IVe have given froia the n, in a preceding; column the Articica.o! thy Trea ty concluded between this Government and that of the United States, for declaring j'Slave Trade Piracy. This Treaty or Oon- I vention has been ratified by tne Sena’ \ with some alterations, which, though they o not ’ substantially affect its contemplated benefi j cial operation, evince a much less cordial | disposition, we think, to provide at! adequate 1 remedy for an acknowledged en*, than ! might, under all circumstances, haw been expected.. At the same time, it cannot be denied that, of ail nice and difficult ques tions which can become matter ot adjust ment between two countries, perhaps the most nice and the most difficut arc those which present themselves when two great naval powers, like England and the United ! States, mutually concede rights, lor the at ; tainment of some common good, whose ex ; ercise abstractedly considered, is hel . to be i essential to the maintenance of their respec tive independence. Yet, what Eng lam! is willing to do, any other power may, fsr what I nation was ever more jealous of her naval su j premacy? However, we are more incl.ned j to rejoice at what is done, than to ca’-’al about the mode of doing it, provided the g; cat ob ject in view is secured. In our subjoined i extracts will be seen ‘he temper with winch this measure is viewed.” In reference to this subject, the Philadel phia National Gazette remarks, that “ Hie “London Courier has carefully copied the 1 “summuary, which tiie National SnieUigen “cer kindly furnished, ofthe arguments used I “in the Senate of the. United fatal 1 s against j “the Slave Trade Convention with Great 1 Britain.” We are very glad that it has done so, and we have no doubt its republican on in that quarter will be attended with signal advantage to the interests of this countrv, so far as they are involved in the issue ot the pending negotiations with that government, of which the President spake, in Ins Message to the Senate. We have heretofore bad oc casion to remark, that nothing could more decisively evince"to the governmen’ of Great Britain, the earnestness and goon t: uh of the Executive of the United States, in this nial ter, than an enumeration of the objections which had to be overcome by the President lit pressing tins Treaty on tut : t> oia.do in tention ot the .Senate. We wish we nad men tioned, at the time we published the summa ry, as We now do, on .sufficient authonty, that nothing but the greatest personal exer tions ofthe Administration, in addition to the very urgent Message of the President, at last wrung from some ofthe Senators a re luctant assent tothe treaty This is a lact go- j ing still furtner to establish the sincerity ot the Executive, in its negotiation viitli the British government, and strengthens our claim to reciprocal concessions by the Brit ish government on other points yet in nego tiation. . As the Editor of the National Gazette is distinguished by a habit of sneering, it is supposed the word “ kindly ,” use 1 by him, was ironically intended, if used literally, it would have been used trui), and, as it stands, is literally true. That the- effect of the pub -1: cat ion of that “summary” has been such as we have heretofore predicted of it, is prov ed by the tenor ofthe short article from the English ministerial paper above quoted.— ’The Courier sees all the difficulty Ot the sti pulations in the “Treaty, though the National Gazette and its coadjutors cannot, or rather will not. The sentiments of the < ‘ourier are, in reality, more American than theirs. ’The nicety and difficulty of the question, (the right of search,') involved in the Treaty, the Courier says, cannot be denied. The Ultra prints do deny it, and have denounced us because we have suffered the fact of the existence of the objections in the Senate to be known to the American People, through the medium of our columns. The Courier understands the subject, in the abstract, cor rectly: and, as thp organ ofthe British go vernment, by whicli this arrangement was particularlyfdesii’ed, comes to a wise conclu sion, from a perusal bf the celebrated “sum mary,” &c. when it rejoices of what has been done, rather than cavils about the mode of do ing it. Justices Courts - —The looseness of the practice in Justices Courts is so prevalent that it is becoming a subject of every day’s complaint, Justices though of the inferior grade of Judges, ought to be governed by the same principles and laws as Judges of Superior Courts, except, that being nearer ihe people, they are to be pacificators, and wherever it js possible to promote harmony and good order t heir duty is manifest Great mistakes being perceptible and the Com plaints becoming louder and louder, we pub lish tiie following extract from an author wf approved merit; who has written much upon the duties of Justices of tiie Peace; whose views we hqpe may be adupted in their fu ture practice. “The justice, so far asit respects issuing process, it is t® be considered a ministerial officer, and hath no other discretion as to issuing a summons or warrant than a clerk of a court would have if the office of clerk was annexed to the eourt. It is to save the ex pense ofaclerk, that the duty is assigned to the justice. Strictly speaking, the justice hatii no discretion as to the kind of process wantei); hut must issue such as the party re quires; nor is it his duty to give advise there in. So far from it, that it would be impro per for him to do it, as he is’ afterwards to become a judge. And ! would here ob serve, that the justices cannot care ful on this head; as it is rerv common for an artful plaintiff, by some means or other, to obtain the opinion of the justice on the mer its of his case, before he commences his suit; and if the opinion doth not suit him, te try another justice—‘arid some times a third or fourth, before begets one to his mind An other reason why I think it advisable for jus tices to give no advice as to what process to issue is, that when they have advised any particular action or mariner of proceeding in a suit, and objections arise to it, they natur ally feel a pride in supporting their first opinion, or the mode of proceeding which they themselves have advised, which roust more or less influence their decision, on any question growing out of it—whereas they ought to consider this as the act of the par ty, and not their own. and treat it*the same as though it had been done by a the special instance of the party. Isay this not in disparagement of tiie respectable citizens usually appointed justices of the peace but to caution them against tiie euls which they are exposed to by being placed in a situation to perform a two fold duty, one of which be ing misunderstood, frequently hath an oper ation on tiie most’ upright mind, that it is not sensible of itself, and whicli hath led to much of the odium that hath been cast on the proceedings of justices courts. It may be said in answer to tiiis that the suitors of the justices courts are U3uaily plain men, destitute of legal knowledge, and without counsel, and therefore, it is proper that the justices should advise them as to tiie manner of obtaining their rights, especially in the • formal parts of conducting a suit. But the difficulty in the human mind, of separating the counsellor from the Judge is so great, that it is remedying 1 ohe evil, by the intro duction of another more pernicious. 1 will no’ howeve. undertake to say, that a justice is bound “to observe a perfect silence, as he certainly’ is in difference: For instance, should a plaintiff, complaining against the defendant for a trespass on his land, demand of tiie justice a summons in debt, 1 cannot say that it would be.improper tor the justice to inform him that the proper remedy so: • trespass on land, was an action of trespass vi et arms, and not debt—but at the same time observe, that he gave no opinion as to the plaintiff’s particular case—that he must know’ his own injuries, any! seek such action as he thought proper for redress. The same ifthe plaintiffsueingfor a bool: account wasto demand a summon in case, l think the justice might, with the before mentioned caution, observe to him, that by a late act of the le gislature, tiie proper remedy for book ac count was an action of debt—but tiie justice ought to he extremely careful e--‘ *._> finer into the circumstances or merits ofthe plain tiff’s case, or to give any opinion thereon.” East Florida Herald. Money. — We have remarked the frequent mention made lately in several papers of our own State and South Carolina, of the bills ot I Mr. Schultz’s Bank in Hamburg, command ing a premium of one and a half per cent, over those of North Carolina. If tiie former is a specie paying institution, ‘he difference surely should he greater. ‘The Bank ofthe State of Georgia, and Planters’ Bank of this city, both pay specie, and in consequence, their bills command a premium over ‘"banka ble” money, (Darien, &c.) of from two and a half to three per cent, and even three and a half has been paid. Norih Caroline State Bank Notes, are at present two per cent, worse than bankable, being thus actually at a depreciation ot not less than four and a-half per cent, below our city Banks. While upon this subject, we must express the wishes of ourselves-and many others, who have spoken to us, that some measures may be speedily adopted, respecting - North Caro lina money, in order that misunderstandings between buyer and seller may be avoided.— Savannah Goergim.

Censure me in your drunkenness, and drown your senses that you may the better judge. Ifthere be any in this county, any dear friends to whiskey, to him I say that my love for whiskey is no lessthan his. If then that frienddemandswhy I am a candidate, this is my answer—not that I love home less, but that l love a seat in the Legislature more. Had you rather that Igo to the Legislature and you live all freemen, or that I stay at home and you die all slaves? As you vote for me 1 love you; as I am fortu nate I rejoice at it; but as I loose my seat I wee-p for it There is love for your votes; joy for my fortune; and tears for ill-luck.— Who is here that would not be a voter? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that would vote against me? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here that has not drunk my whiskey ? If any, speak; the bottle is not empty. I pause fora reply—none, Mr. Candidate, none — then none have I offended. I have done no more to be elected than others have done be fore.—The question of my election will be enrolled at the Court-house.

Tiie streets through wni h the procession passed were literally throng ed with well dressed people, who manifest ied the most lively enthusiasm.
