DARIEN, (GEORGIA,)- — €qual ant* €ract 3|ustice*- i —-TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1824.
To the Honorable the President and Members
* oj the Senate, anil Speaker and Members of
the House of Representatives of the State of
■Georgiu.
Gentlemen —The time has now come,
when the question of Internal Improvement
can be no longer neglected. It is now in
your power to say, whether Georgia shall
continue inactive and inert, or by your as
sistance revive, and with renewed vigor and
energy, strive by more than common action,
to recover the time she has lost.
The truth can no longer be disguised from
us—Georgia is losing her weight in t,he scale
of the union, and it remains with you to sav
in what manner she shall recover her lost
power. We havefor a long time beer, look
ers on, and with an apathetic indifference
have beheld the the course of trade diverted
—commerce, on which the vital energies of
the state depend, drawn aside front us, and
as a natural consequence, our sea port cities
which were once flourishing’and prosperous,
sinking by slow but certain degrees, from the
rank they once held, to secondary and subor
dinate stations.
This has long been apparent; but a,strange
lethargy appears to have stupified us. No
exertion has bpen made—no effectual means
have been tried to.recall, what will shortly
no longer be inpur power ,to reclaim, the
prosperity which has floated by our very
doors to enrich a more enterprising sister
state.
The people have at last become sensible
to the existing state of things—4tl;ey have at
length opened their eyes to their erroi—
they have heard the cry of Savannah and are
now anxious to disperse the illusion with
which they have been surrounded; and they
call loudly, from every section of the state,
for remedies to counteract the effect of their
former misguided policy. The remedy, gen
tlemen, is in your hands, and as you apply it,
so will you be greeted by their cheering ac
clamations, br receivt in their stead, tlier di
rest curses for your management. What is
to be done must be quickly done. Every
energy and nerve must be strained: no im
becile and half way measrues will do. ’flip e
vil is not imaginary,it is real,and real powers
must be exerted for its cure. We must go
to the beginning—we must trace back the
evil to its starting place, and by measures
counter to those we have pursued, make a
radical cure or none. It is in vain that we
apply false empyric medicine when the knife
is nesessary. It is by such measures the state
is impoverished and its coffers drained of
their riches. And what can be the effect?
Nothing, ft may for a while create an arti
ficial action, but with the cause that created,
must also cease the effect. It is an unnatu
ral stimulent, and when its powers cease the
body, instead of preserving the animation it
gave,will sink still farther into stupor. You,
gentlemen, it is trusted, will pursue an op
posite course. You will first enquire by
vvliat meausthis distress has advanced into the
bosom of the state—You will search for the
cause which has created this universal com
plaint. and when found you will use suitable
and applicable means for its removal. Suf
fer not yourselves to view it through false
mediums;be not swayed by sectional feelings
or ancient prejudices in favor of particular
places; place the state before you, and aslts
■whole interest point the way, that should be
the course to follow; view with a jealous eye,
those, who from local interests, would advise
a different course from that which the inte
rests of the whole would dictate to you. It is
to them alone that you are accountable for ,
your decisions—it is they alone who bear the
burdens which are now almost too heavy to
support —and is it ihey alone who ought, by
every principle of justice, to receive the be
nefit of your deliberations. They are now
awaiting with anxious feelings, the result of
your councils, conscious that that result will
either ensure renewed prosperity or plunge’
them deeper in the distressess they already
feel so Sensibly. These are not visionary
speculations They are facts that can be
proven demonstrably. No false reasoning is
necessary for this purpose. Truth, and truth
alone, as spoken by those who have felt and
who still feel the depression, shall be placed
before you: From the statements you shall
judge ofthe extent and greatness of the evils
of which they complain—and you will like
wise judge whether tne aid they ask can re
lieve them, or whether it may not be the in
terest of the state generally, to pursue such
a course as will lead to greater advantages,
and which will not only act as correctives to
present wants, but eventually add equally to
its power and character
It now becomes nOTessary to present to
you gentlemen, such as will point
out the evil. The commencement of the
distress may be dated with the foundation and
existence of Hamburg, a little town op
posite Augusta, which has grown up with
the aid of the legislature of South-Carolina,
and bv the exertions of a man who stands
pre-eminent in successful enterprize: one,
who we recollect to have been driven bv in
dividual persecutions from the bosom of our
state, and who is now giving to Carolina the
benefits of those singular practical talents
he possesses. When he first commenced the
erection of the town in question, the idea he
held out of its importance, was treated as vi
sionary. The practicability of diverting trade
which had so long enriched x Augusta and Sa
vannah was smiled at with contempt, and
the possibility of a town raised by-individual
exertion, competing with one of such long
standing, was hooted at as if it had been the
proposition of a madman. Soon, however,
the effect was felt, and there is now laid be
foreyou a concise history oftlie feelings it
occasioned and the efforts that have been
made to counteract them, to the present
time.
t The foundation of this town, (Hamburg,)
which commenced in July, 1831, received 17-
696 bales of cotton, besides other produce in j
equal porportions. In the then prosperous;
state of Georgia, this amount was not at first |
felt, or iffelt, no alarm was excited, tior afty
belief created, that the depression would be
permanent. It was considered that the
quantity thus received was merely the effect
of peculiar events, and that time would cor
rect it. They conceived the town so magi
cally raised in opposition to them,would sink
with its own weight, or that being supported
by one man, that it was impossible its exist
ence could be durable, and witty its fall they
looked for the return of that trade they had
lost. They looked to this as to a certainty,
and.adopted no measures by which, if this
consequence was not correct, they could in
duce the planter to repair to his former mar
ket.
In the mean time, Mr. Shultz applied to
the South Carolina legislature for their aid
and protection, Entering at once into his
views, and perceiving the practicability of
his plans, they liberally assisted him, and by
many advantages which they yielddd to the
newly raised town, induced capitalists and
others to locate themselves there.
Fears now began to be, for the first time
entertained that Hamburg, once looked upon
as an objeot of contempt, and mentioned as
a mark of decision for the Quixotic attempts
of its founder, would,- by means of the liber
al policy pursued,be a rival of no mean char
acter,and when the enormous increase ofher
receipts of produce was knowiyin the second
year, j(*7.857 bales of cotton) expedients
were sought for, anti means asked to restore
the prosperity they bad lost, Savannah t'oo,
began to feel the effect of this diversion of
trade; and some extracts from her papers
will shew in vivid colours, the distress which
was actually existing there. “At a meeting
ofthe merchants on the sth inst. at the Ex
change, it was resolved, that a committee of
three be appointed to investigate the causes
which have for some time past operated -
gainst the trade of Savannah, and ‘report
thereon; that they recommend such meas
ure as to them appear best calculated to res
tore to the city its former commercial
prosperity, and that the chairman, (Jo
seph Gumming.) Geo. Schley, and 8. B.
Farkman, be that committee.” “Itesol
ved, that the holders of real estate in the ci
ty be requested to unite with the merchants
in the investigation and that they be in
vited to co-operate in the measure to be
adopted-” Savannah Republican, Nov. 7 18-
23. Again in the same paper of the 11th
November, they remark, that “an adjourned
meeting ofthe merchants and others inter
interested in the conqnerce and prosperity
of this city, was held yesterday. The re
port ofa committee appointed at a former
meeting, was read, .recommending several
measures Calculated to restore the prosperi
ty which was declined, and the trade which
it is feared may be permanenti) diverted to
new channels,” The “Times,” printed in
Savannah of the sth of November, 1823, says
“(Jilr.city was, brought into notice by trade,
its existence depends wholly on trade, and
without trade it would be a mere sandbank.”
“It then behoves every ne to encrease it
if possible—it behoves us to attend to this
maine point now, more than ever, for we
have a powerful rival who is using every
exertion to deprive us of the means where
.by we live. We have seen our trade goto
Charleston, because the expenses there are
less, and the money better than ours. We
have seen the iniquity carried so far as to en
able our neighbors to go by this great depot
of the state in triumph, carrying away the
productions of our soil to another city, which
ought to have been exported by ourselves—
Look at our waning trade, our falling rents,
and our miserable currency.”
The citizens of Augusta, acting in concert
with those of Savannah, had likewise their
meetings, and sought with equal avidity for
means whereby they might alleviate distres
ses so severely felt,as wellby themselveas by
Savannah: and first as a partial remedy, made
tiie bridge which connect Hamburg and Au
'guSta, free for all waggons containing cotton
flotir or tobaco. This fact is noticed in the
Augusta Constitutionalist of the 20th Oct.
1823, where it is remarked, that “We are
authorised to state that the Augusta bridge
is now free for all waggons laden with cot
ton, flour, or tob'aco, passing and repassing
to or from Augusta.” This was done by in
dividual means, but as a more effectual and
permanent remedy, the Augusta Chronicle
of Nov, 8,1823, says, that “ The citizens are
retpectfully informed that a memorial to the
Legislature will be presented to them on
Monday and Tuesday next, for their signs'-
Hires'for the purpose of applying to the Le
gislature for some relief towards freeing the
Augusta bridge.”
A memorial was also prepared in Savan
nah; praying relief, on which a committee .
from your honorable body reported; and it
■may not be anus's to make a few extracts
from it, as it is corroborative of the fact, that
the decline of trade has been owing, Ist, to
the erection of Hamburg-v2d, to the superior
facilities of trade between that place and
Charleston—and 3d, to the great advantages
possessed by Charleston over Savannah as a
seaport. iThe Committee commence, by
noticing the subject ofthe memorials before
them, which is the decline of trade and the
general distress as the effect of it; they then
proceed to ask, “Does the evil exist?” “Is
its operation extensive?” and “What are the
causes?” To the first question they remark
that “The fact is asserted by the memorial
ists in language not of dubious import, with
an earnestness and simplicity, which .leave
no doubt of the sincerity of’their own con
victions. In looking lo the names by which
the memorials are supported, the committee
perceive those of many of our most respec
table citizens, of men whose intelligence and
integrity would equally exclude the probabi
lity of mistake, and the possibility of inten
tional misrepresentation.
“There is then, no room to doubt the ex
istence and reality of the evil complained of
by the memorialists.”
They then go on to show the extent of the
evil and its operations on the state generally
and continue their examination by taking a
view of the causes which have led to so dis- 5
as trous a result. And this is given in the
language of the committee, being sensible
that a mere notice of it would be doing in
justice to them and to the subject. “It is
not doubted by the C9mmittee that the trade
of Augusta is materially diminished by the
rivalry of Hamburg. Heretbfore the former
place lias been the sole depot of the pro
duce raised on both sides of the Savannah
river, which flows above it, and the general
rendezvous of purchasers from abroad and
their agents. Much of that produce now
passes to Hamburg. The sold or
stored in Augusta is consequently less. The
attention of purchasers is divided and diver
ted and diminished competition produces a
diminutionjin the.price. Left to itself, Ham
burg is unable to maintain this compel ition.
Its population and its capital would equally
forbid it. But Hamburg is the creature of
Legislative munificence. It is sustained by
Legislative patronage —it wields a capital
gratuitously furnished by” South Carolina, and
wields it under the protection of peculiar
priviliges and exemptions to its inhabitants.
Still it would be inadequate to the purpose
of its creation—it would enter into no suc
cessful competition with Augusta, but from
its connection with Charleston; from the
freedom of the intermediate navigation, ren
dered ten-fold more valuable by the monopo
ly which restrains that between Savannah,
and Augusta, and from the various
artificial causes existing in Savannah,
which render it inferior as a market and as
a shipping port to Charleston. In fine Ham
burg exists, and enters into successful compe
tition -Mth Augusta, by force of the patronage
of the legislation of Carolina to itself and tb
Charleston , acting with increased effect from
the oppressive influence of the legislation of
Georgia, on the cities of Augusta ami Savan
’ mih.,
“The investigation has been made with a
continued reference to Charleston, because
it is believed that the diminution ofthe trade
of Savanuah has arisen from its divertion to
that port.”
By the extract we may perceive that the
committee are decidedly of opinion that the
causes which have operated to produce this
general cry of distress originate in Hamburg
in the connection of that place with Charles
ton, and in the superior advantages which
the last place has over Savannah as a sea
port, and they conclude their report with
some questions which will find answers in
tiie bosom of every Georgian. They ask,
shall we on our part, sustain Augusta or suf
fer her to sink in the struggle? Shall we
preserve our trade or yield it to our more
enterprising rival? Shall we retain our rank
ns a commercial state, or become tributary
to South Carolina? These enquiries are
sorted upon us, and a stern necessity re
quires that we should answer them promptly.
The times is, in which an option is reserved
to ns, but it is passing irrevocably from us.”
. From thbse extracts we may perceive
what were the views of the committee up
on this subject, and as far as they state the
causes, a majority ot the community w ill a
gree with them, but it is believed will dif
fer from them in tne opinion that legislative
aid can affect the revolution of trade; that
is, sofanas that aid is extended to the ben
efit of Savannah. The cause of her distress
does not warrant such a conclusion—that
cause is her inferiority as a sea'port, and un
less we can obviate that, though we may em
ty the coffers of the state into her lap, the
cause will still exist, and the consequence
will be, the state will be impoverished with
out obtaining any real advantage. Such aid
and so administered, will have no effect but
for the time being and the moment pecuina
ray aid fails, she will again sink to her pre
sent depressed condition. Like the power of
Galvanism on a dead body, it may be exer
ted to such effect that the muscles w’ill act,
and the subject exhibited certain animated
appearances, but the moment the power is
removed it returns again to its lifeless state.
It is therefore perfectly idle to talk of help
ing Savannah. It is an impossibility which
we cannot, overcome. Nature has decreed :
against her, and our object (should now be, |
to find a place which may possess those ad-’ (
vantages which are lacking on the part ofj
Savannah, and by a liberal and judicious pol- i
icy rear and support it until such times as it j
could not only help itself, but pay back to
the coffers oftlie estate what may be ex-1
pended by legislative munificence. Let us |
then create anew sea port. Georgia has an
extensive and on it one spot which
syems peculiarly formed by nature for such
a purpose. From the Hudson to the appa-,
lachicola, there is not to be found a place
combining equal points of superiority.—
This place is Brunswick, on Turtle ri
ver. Persons eminently qualified to
judge, having minutely examined thefsoite
of Brunswick as a sea port, from their own
belief, as well as what can be collected
from the opinions of others, authorises the
conclusion, that this place, by the help of
half that aid the committee advised to be ex- ■
pended on Savannah, would in a few years
take the lead of Charleston, as far as New-
York does of its neighboring cities. There
fore, with the aid of such information as has
been collected relative to it. It becomes ne
cessary to present to you such of its leading
features as will place its superior advantages
before you.
Brunswick is situate on an arm of the sea,!
about nine miles from the ocean, having eigh
teen feet water when the tide is out, and 1
twenty-four when in Its entrance by the
sound of St. Simon’s is unobstructed by any
bar—and there is a safe and commodious har
bor.protected from the sea by Jekyl island
on the south and by St. Simon’s island on the
north of the enirance. Brunswick, (as laid
ofly) is ton a level plain which extends sever
al miles and has a bluff eight or ten feet
above the tide at high water. It commands {
a fine view of the sea across Jekyl island and
of the entrance by St. Simon’s sound. The
United States sensible of the importance, of
this place and of the advantages it possessed
of good harborage, has placed a light-house
on the point of St. Simon’s island, at the en
trance of the mouth of the sound. By a ca
nal of about ten miles in length a communi
cation may be effected with the Altamaha
and its tributaries the Ocmulgee and Oconee
rivers, which leading through the very cen
tre of the state, would bring down its pro
duce to Brunswick, which would become tbe
depot from which the country could receive
the necessary supplies in return. It is heal
thy at all seasons of the year and continually
enjoying the benefit of sea air. It has suita
ble and proper places for a navy yard, and
live oak growing in great abundance in the
surrounding country to supply it. An in
land navigation is already opened between
Savannah and it, and possesses the advantage
of its being nearer to that place than Charles
ton with sater rivers of communication. It
is in the very centre of the sea coast of the
state, and it may become to Georgia what
Charleston is to Carolina, without the dan
gers attendant on the latter place of annual
sickness. In fact it is in everv point superior
to Charleston as a sea port, and in its power
to communicate with the back country by
means of its natural channels and one small
link of ten miles by canal.
Its superiority over Savannah is therefore
manifest, in an eminent degree It needs
but tbe legislative aid judiciously bestowed
to make it the Emporium of the South. It
cannot be concealed—it is in vain to deny it;
Savannah is sinking into ruins for the want
of those very powers which Brunswick pos
sess sin so superior a degree. No aid of
the legislature can effectually revive her.—
She is irretrievably lost, and in attempting
to restore her we are but losing time and the
means to create a place which would more
than counterbalance her loss. With the
knowledge and proof of this fact before us,
can the legislature of Georgia remain long
undetermined, what to do? The interest of
the state calls loudly for some measure by
which we may regain our lost prosperity.—
The remedy must be effectual and immedi
ate. .We have it in our power to force back
the trade we have lost, but the time will soon
pass never to be recalled. Now is the time
to act, or calmly submit to the loss of your
export and import revenues, and “become
tributary to South Carolina.
A few extracts from the remark of the edi
tor of the “Georgia Journal” the correctness
of which it is impossible to deny, are now
submitted. In speaking of the situation of
Savannah, the deficiency ofher exports and
the flourishing slate of Hamburg, after giving
details of several interesting facts, he asks—
“ What is the cause of all this prosperity, all
this bustle and this enterprise? Simply the
patronage of one man by the Legislature of
South Carolina, and the judicious disburse
ment of the public money under his superin
tendance. How humiliating to Georgia is
the fact,that this same man, who has wrought
such wonders in Carolina, a few years ago
offered his services to this state on the most
reasonable terms, and met with a rejection
almost unanimous. He proposed to cut a ca
nal, at his own risk and expense, from the
Alatamaha to Turtle’’ river, (the river on
which Brunswick stands, and the mouth of
the canal to enter Turtle river six or seven
miles from it,) and to depend for his remune
ration on the profits of the work after it
should be finished. His proposal was re
jected, and what has Georgia lost by it? Let
the sufferers of Savannah and Darien answer
•the question. Let the facts we have stated
in the commencement ofthis article answer
it also. Had Georgia expended §IOO,OOO
for no other purpose than to retain such a
man in the number ofher citizens, the mo
ney would have been wisely spent. His ge
nius would sooner or later, have accomplish
ed for Georgia, in some way or other, what
it has accomplished for Carolina.”
These remarks founded on facts, are wor
thy of comment. It appeai-s that this very
place whose superiorities have struck so ma
ny men ofsound judgment, was also the spot
which Mr. Shultz had first in contemplation
to raise a sea port town upon. He saw, and
at a glance, took in its vast importance, and
with that spirit of enterprise which reflect*
such credit on him, formed a plan which the
indecision ofa legislative body prevented his
carrying into effect, and from which the state
would have reaped benefits incalculable.—
Who will not agree with the tditor of the
Journal, that §IOO,OOO would have been
wisely spent to have kept that man among
the number of our citizens? Is it yet impos
sible to innuce him to return? This is an in
teresting subject, and an interesting mo
ment. The commercial prosperity of Geor
gia is daily decaying. Gentlemen should
not let private feeiing weigh in the result of
their deliberations. They should, being the
goardians and protectors of the interests of
the state, consider this subject entirely di
vested of every idea but those connected
with the interests of the state, and so decide
lhat they may lay their hands upon their bo
soms and appeal to that inward monitor for
the correctness of feeling with which that de
cision is formed.
It has been asked—is it yet impossible but
that he may be induced to return among us?
It hoped not. Georgia was the theatre
where he first displayed those talents which
have created the admiration of the surroun
ding states. Monumenl are yet standing to
his fame, which evinced his disposition of
once becoming a permanent resident, and if
be has any partialities they must be here.—
Let us not now speak of the causes which
droye him from among us. Let us obliterate
them. Let us bury them; and by a wise and
magnanimous policy endeavor to make him
bury them also. If we can judge of man from
his acts, or of his leading passions from the
effects of them, we may safely conclude that
Fame is the star by which his course is steer-
M. 48.
