Mr. Smith,
If you think the inclofed merits i place in '
your Chronicle, you, by inferring it in your
next, oblige one of your
SUBSCRIBERS.
WHETHER the promoters or oppofers
of the scheme for felling the wefteru
lands, ere molt friendly to the true
interest of Georgia, or whether the F— — 1
G --t did or did not intend and attempt,
by the late treaty with the Creeks, to deprive
fcerof her natural territorial rights, areque-
Itaons t will not undertake to determine. The
Degiflature of the gate will ihortly convene,
when an ad, like that recommended by your
correspondent, Mtullut , will be highly pro
per and neceflary, in order to determine
those important questions: If it (hould then
be determined that a fate of the*weftcfn ter
ritory will be consistent with the policy and
interest of the gate, I flatter myfelf that the
present ad will be newly modelled, so as to
make its good effects as extensive as possible.
I would therefore recommend that the follow
ing clause be added : That it be enaded, ice.
that all and every person and persons, who
bow are, or hereafter may be, diredly or in
dirediy, in any manner interested in the pur
chase of the territory above deferibed, (hall
within mf>aths after the pafliug of this
ad, remove their persons, families and ef
fects,’ without the present temporary bounda
ry of this flats, into the ftid weftern country ;
and that any person or perfena interested as
aforefaidj* who shall alter the expiration of
the said term of months, be tound
Within the laid lfraifs, (hall lutifer such for
fetuies or punish meats, as the Gcucral Af
ienrbiy lhail hereafter enact.
Toe operation of’ foch a clause will, I am
confident, obviate a it* the objections which
b >vc fublifted aga trrt this (ale, in the minds of
the drfintereiicd part- of' our citizens. True
it is, we may the«eby* be diveited of the
greater parr of our ptefenf &—te O—>rs of
high rank, and probably ocher charac
ters who now fland foreman'inabilities and
intiucuce i but let us conlidei how amply we
<liall be compenfarcd for this temporary lojs,
b) the rapid in dux of gold and htver to our
ireafury, aad the protection ourptSTent feeble
and pusillanimous race, and their progeny,
will receive from the hardy veteran* of the
weft. For who does not fee that the* rapid
dream es the Miflitippi will be compelled to
yield to the greater impulie of fleam, and the
lofty hills aud mountains of the new world'
snuft bow to the serial machines which will be
wafted over them i A colony of fucb ori
ginals, brilliant for Jlrmgtk and genius, will
Toon evince to the world, that the glory and
splendor of antient warriors and philosophers
snuft soon give piece to the invincible funs of
Hew Georgia.

‘lhthe TLtißors of Richmond Cdiinty*
Friends and FellowCitixens,
AS ouf annual eheftion is near at hand,
and there being numbers who offer as
candidates, it may he Well to obfcrve, that
the Reverend Candidate of tfceßaptift church,
who neglecting the care of his dock, I find
has set his face to seek the'honors of this
world, and withes to gain popularity and bow'
the knee to Baal, is a great impostor. If e
is elected, the county will in all probability
be deprived of a member, by his expulsion
from the House, not only from his being a
priest, but from the criminality of his actions
in private life; having once drove off a theep
which was not his own, killing and making
use of it in bis private family, contrary to the
laws of the land s The proofs of the transac
tion ate clear and full.
I am your's,
A PLANTER.

To JAMES M'NEIL, EJj.
SIR,
I HAVE just had a fight of a few lines in
the Augusta Chronicle; with your name
at the bottom, and immediately following the
articles of the Combined Society ; wherein
you alk, “ Does not the man, whose figna
tore is affixed to the foregoing articles, feel
all the gtf'lt.of dark cbnfpirator ?'Will it
not be prudent for him to return to allege
ance, without the interposition of public au
thority ?’*
Your firft question I answer with the little
monosyllable, NO; ycur second is übworthy
an answer, till you point oat wherein he has
swerved from his allegiance.
Whilst the articles and intentions of the
society remained (as at ffrft iutended) a pro
found secret, ignorant people might be ex
cused for being fright ened,;by the artful insi
nuations of dark incendiaries, into a belief
that a conspiracy was forming agaiuft the
State ; but when they are exposed to pupfic
view, in the State Gazette, for a man of Se
natorial dignity, to pretend to hold out to the
public the idea of a “ dark conspiracy,” is
truly astonishing. The public can gather
nothing from it, but that your ignorance and
’ malevolence are equal. Every man of com
mons feofc, who has not Surrendered his reason
to a dcteimined and caufelef* prejudice, will
fee that the intentions of the society are id tar
from being criminal, that they are laudable.
I believe,*Sir, you are a magistrate. There
are many of the Society in your county; and
I can hardly suppose them all unknown te you.
If they are conljpirators, why don’t you issue
your warrant, have them brought before you,
and dealt with to law i What!
though it may injure your reputation amongst
sensible men, no matter! it will increafc
your popularity with he ignorant;' and that
will be much more than a compensation, for
’ the little mortification you may Suffer, from
the vain attempts to iftffen ft character almoji
impregnable.
When I began this address, I intended
(from your laudable example) to have put
my name to it ; but considering that the cause
I have undertaken is not limply my own, but
that of a number of refpetiable gentlemen,
whom you have vilely calumniated, I con
clude you not enri led to know the name of
the man who is meteh a defendant, against
the dark machinations of a heart, void of
those refined feminisms which are always di
ftinguiffiing traits m the character of the real
gentleman.
A Member of the Combined Setietj,
Mr. Smith,
I OBSERVE ia your lift piper an Old Cor*
gitn fjwfi btftliug ime poimebe en hit
crutches; hobbling I cal! st, I>ecaufe it ii re«*
piece, from beginning'to ending, with fuck
incot fiftencics. Is there a man on earth fa
stupid as to believe, that any one would be
so tocliSh as to write a letter of that diftiort,
:to a friend in Virginia, (a*he fays) and sup
posed to be in answer to one of the nth of
September. Look at both ; hath the one any
Similarity to the other ? Does there appear any
thing like an answer ? Does it not rather pre«
. fcntitfelf as the production of addled imagi
nation ot‘ one of the' anties, who fearful of
losing bis ele&SO ', (by which his pride would
have been io much hurt, he could not have
withstood the Shock) hath taken this method
’ to inflame, the minds of the good citizens of
this fta;e, and particularly tfcof# in the neigh
bourhood of the Court-house; Yes, Ido
aver it is no other than one of those arijul %
defining men, who are always Waiting t£> take
in and enjnare the innocent and unwary.—
; Whatever degree of faith l may have, in the
i story of Esau, I could more readily believe
! that this old Georgian was his brother Jacob';
for if 1 mistake not the person, and sure I am
I do not; »ht would give as much pottage as
the Kiokeans c6uld devour, rather than be left
cut of the House of Representatives, although
he is not over liberal neither. There is not
a man who is acquainted with him, and his
writings, but knows his Stile once. Those
indeed who wiih to mislead tWignorant, and
are not conversant in his stile and manner, will
swear by G—d ’tis a Yazoo; but’cad'“any oae
suppose a Taxoo would let an Anti feefueb a
letter, Ahe had written it ? and befides,* What
poflible end could it answer for a man to'ac
cufe himfclf of telling a lye, and the person
to whom he thus wrote, fully convinced there
of—pray how did this letter that was so very
fortunately found, find the way into your pa*
per? By the afliftanceof aCapt. M-e: and
how did Capt. Moore find it ? By the afljftancft
of brother "Jacob , or, in other words, Mr.
J —s: and pray how did M. J—s find it l
Why the thing speaks for itfelf, on his way
to Wilkes; his own ingenuity and invention
produced the forged epiflle, for I will do him
the just ice to lay, he is as full plausible, low
cunning as any man of my acquaintance.
I think this will clearly demonstrate to eve
ry man of the weakest capacity, that the Old
Georgian is a fictitious letter, designed oidy
to defeat the election es fume, and carry that
of others, which if accomplished, I pronounce,
that Georgia is notonly fold te an Indian tribe,
but that all the vacant land *uow within the
State, will be recognized as the property of
Congress ; and that a line will be drawn di
viding this Slate by the Oconee river, and we
Shall havk that country fettled by NewEng*

good citizens of Georgia, who have Jituggled
hard for years past, and experienced the most
cruel hardships, (more especially those on the
frontiers) by the hostilities of the Creeks, who
are now lei over us as fyica on all our atfions;
and whose power appears equal to that of
Congress over the free citizens of Georgia;
A thousand other reasons may be given to do
away the credibility of this Old Georgian, but"
least I might be thought too prolix, I will flop
here, and fubferibe myfelf a
NEW GEORGIAN.
