1'rnm the strictures on the late Ordinance oj
the City Council, which appeared previous to i-s
passage and publication, I was induced to ton-
id,-r the intended measure as one that would be
oppress.vc to many of the owners of slaves in
this city, i had, however, no conception, until
after its publication a few da , s ago, that it would
prove so objectionable as I think it must do to
'•very considerate and unprejudiced mind. A
lew of the objections to which it is liable and
„ inch struck me most forcibly, I will now endea
vor to point out.
The first section provides thit no slave, howe
ver excellent his character, shall reside in any
house in the city, not even his master’s, unless it
is attached to that of his owner or hirer, without
a license from Council, for which his master is
required to pay five dollars to the city, fifiy cents
to the clerk for recording the license and grant
ing a certificate of it, and a bond is also required
to be given for the good behaviour of the slave,
for drawing which, according to another Ordi
nance, the clerk is entitled to one dollar, making
in all the sum of six dollars and fifty cents which
the owner of the best and most faithful slave in
the city is required to pay in addition to the or
dinary tax, for the privilege of keeping him on
his own lot, if detached from his dwelling; while
the owner of the most worthless and dishonest
negro that the jails of Virginia and Maryland
can j produce is not required to take out for
hint any liccn-c, or pay lor ium any other than
the regular tax, if living in a house attached to
tlie yaein which he himself resides. No v I aver
that if a license is required for any save it should
be for him that has been ptoved to be dishonest
in whatever part of the city he may reside, and
that it is absurd to ask security fur the good con
duct of a slave who has never misbehaved, while
none is asked for that of the disorderly and the
vicious.
By another provision of the first section, no
license can be granted to any but slaves oi goon
character, exercising some uscyui trade or uccu-
valiun within the limits of the city. 1 Ids clause
destroys at ouce, as lar as the authority ol Coun
cil can avail, the arrangement n ten the huma
nity of many persons in Augusta lias provided
for llie comfortable residence oi tlieii superannua
ted slaves. they a c past the age of exerci
sing any useful trade or occupation, and tiiere-
i.irc no license is to be granted to them to reside
on their master's lots in houses built perhaps ex
pressly for them, be their character ever so good
not even at the price for each of six dollars and
fifty cents. They must be taken lrom an open
lot, and the enjoy incut of the advantage ol a tree
circulation of air furnished them by their master,
gtalelui perhaps furlong continued and fait h!ul
services to the close corner ol his crowded kitch
en, be bunishd out of the city beyond the reach
of that protetmn which they have a right to
claim, or be liable to be imprisoned in the guard
loom and receive thirty lashes by ord r of any
member or officer of Couucil. I know a highly
respectable widow lady of this city who purcha
sed a lot and budt on it a house for the accommo
dation of two superannuated and infirm slaves
and one whom site appointed to attend on them,
until she could erect on it a house for her own
residence. She must assuredly have learned
with surprise and sorrow that the performance
of the duty of providing for the coinloit of her
slaves in their old age which is enjoined by a
law of this state as well as by the dictates ol hu
manity, is about to be considered by the City
Council as an offence which will subject each of
her slaves to imprisonment and the punishment
of thirty lashes at the discretion of any mem er
of Council or city constable, and herself to the
payment of a fine of fitly dollars.
1 am also acquainted with several others of
our citizens on whose arrangements for the com
fortable accommodation of their old or infirm
slaves this provision ot the Ordinance will oper
ate with equal or increased severity. They are
however generally able to protect their unoffend
ing servants, and preserve inviolate their own
rights..
The eleventh section of the first division of the
penal code of Georgia provides that a slave shall
not be punished for any offence, which is not
capital if perpetrated by a free white person,
when such offenoe is committed by the threats,
command or coercion, of his owner or any per
son exercising or assuming auihority over him.
In the first section of the Ordinancetnis just and
humane law is disregarded, where a slave is made
liable to be imprisoned and to receive thirty lash
es by order of any member or officer of Council
fot living in his master's lot, by his master’s ex
press order, or witn a written permit from him in
his pocket. The master commands his slave to
reside on his lot, the Ordinance of Council pun
ches him for obeying, w hile the law of the state
pronounces that in obeying liis master he is guilt
less.
An attempt may be made to reconcile this cru
el aud unjust provision of the Ordinance w th the
humane and just enactment of the penal code,
but in vain. They are totally irrecoucileable.—
And yet they must be reconciled ortbe Ordinance
cannot stand, for the Council are prohibited by
the third section of the act which constitutes their
charter lrom making any by-laws repugnant to
the Constitution and law of the land. A most
nappy restriction, it those citizens whose rights
they may at any time invade, shall takr care to
confine them within its limits.
I have thus endeavored to shew, with what
success my fellow citizens must determine, that
the Ordinance, so far as l have reviewed it, is
partial, oppressive and unnecessarily cruel, par
ticularly afit operates on superannuated and in
firm slaves and their owners, and that it is re
pugnant to the provision of the penal code of
Georgia, which is dictated by humanity justice
and sound policy. I leave it to some other person
more interested, to comment on the other sections
of the ordinance, which I have not at this time
leisure to examine. BALDWIN ’
FOR THE GEORGIA COURIER.
To the City Council:
It is my purpose to examine the first Section
°fa recent Ordinance, for the regulation of Slaves
and persons of color. My right to this examin
ation is as clear as yours to pass such an Ordi
nance. I therefore make no apology. If my
suggestions are worth any thing, you may prefit
by them, without owing any obligation to the
source whence they sp ung.
A part of the first Section is designed to re-
stiict any slave from living apart from its owner,
without a certain liini’ation— which is a license
from the City Council, and a bond and security
by the master of one hundred dollars, fur the gopJ
b-h'viour of the slave
Another part of this Section prohibits the rent
ing of any house to a slave, under the penalty of
fifty dollars on the landlord.
It is to these parts of this Ordinance I object,
and enquire, whence you derive your authority
to enact them? You may answer, from public
exp diency■ 1 rejoin, that your right lo force
upon me and in my lotmore slaves than my wants
require, is the same right that would authorize
you to take from my lot sue i a number ot my
slaves that the rein dnder could not supply my
wants. You have indeed made it conditional;
but in many cases the condition is impossible to
be performed. I put the case of a useful and
harmless washer-woman, with five or six chil
dren Such a slave could only be valuable to the
City Council; because they alone wonld receive
the profits of her labor.
You certainly could not have supposed that
vour powers extended so far, as to say to the
freeholder that you shall not rent your premises
to this or /had person If so, the usurious Jew,
the calculating Scotchman, the nnprovi ient Irish
man the supple Frenchman, and cunning Yan
kee had better be wise and depart lrom the city,
before the caprice of the omnipotent Council
may virtually deny to them a residence, by sub
jecting their landlords to a fine of Fifty Dollars!
Look, I pray you. to the consequence of this
power. If you deride lor the landlord, who shall
lie hi- tenant; why not say to him what shall be
his rent ? —when and how collected ? When you
shall have gone this far, your dominion over
property will be equal to that of the Sublime
Porte;—and to complete the parallel of power
over the person, you have on y to substitute the
bow string in the plan of that indefinite sum
mons, by which the offender is brought forth to
undergo that common experiment of being gag
ged in his speech, and fleeced in his purse.
You require, in addition to the city tax on the
slave, five dollars, and that a bond, with security
from the owner, of one hundred dollars, condi
tioned for the goo^tehaviour of the licensed
slave. Were I conversing with any one of your
body, I would the Honorable member (most ani
mals now have an extra title) to consider this
provision before any objection would lie urged
against it If lie still persisted, I would respect
fully enquire, whethet he, or any reasonable man
would bind himself, whereby a forfeiture might
arise in almost every possible case, as easily as
it would be, to consult the confirmed prejudices
of this community ? When was a slave ever
charged and not condemned ? But I will state a
case and leave its decision to your embodied wis
dom. Sup o e a person should go to the lot of
a licensed slave and throw therein a hnndker-
chic.f or other property, marked, without the
knowledgeof the slave—he applies for a search-
warrant, which is obtained—tliesearch is mode—
the property is foDud and identified—the negro
is arrested, tried, and being unable to s.itisfacto
rilv account for the ,mssession of the property
thus found, is convicted. Would the master be
liable for the penalty of the bond ? I repeat that
I shall leave the question for the ten wise men of
our Gotham; witn t e remark that, the minions
of their power are believeo, by some, tone capa
ble of purpetrati iga device as despicable as this.
I know not whether the decisions of the \me-
r-can Congress can weigh aug t in your body ;
it is, ho ever, sufficient for my purpose to know,
that in D’Autrive’s case, a slave was considered
ns property—so. also, is my cow considered pro
perty If, therefore. I am to be bound for the
g "1 conduct of mv slave, why not bind me lor
th .tof mv cow ? Her horns may, at an unlucky
at orient, create more distress than the hands of
tea si iv s.
tiui examine the inequality of the operation of
your drain tare. The slave that commits mur-
dei is hung, and its owner forfeits One Hundred
Dollars!—The slave that steals a penny is flogged,
an.I its master foifeits One Hundred Dollars!—
iVhatever is the offence, be it a crime or misde-
m aunt, the master is compelled lo pay, neither
n>vp nor less iltan One Hundred Dollars! It
might he readily c njec ured that tli“ correction
ol criminals is not the end of your legislation but
th it it is to pounce upon One Hundred Dollars —
Iftbe city be really in need of money, a Fair is
recommended—they will soon be as popular as
charitable societies, of a different kind, once
were.
What will be the probable result of the Ordi
nance? It will assemble m the vicinity of the
citv, a large mass of population, which, from
supposed vi iousness. was expelled from its con-
fi m'S. It will be a concentration of all that is
wicked a id corrupt without any upervising po
lice to controul and subject it to order, which, if
left alone, would be divided and proportionably
hermiess, with a police, whatever may be its in
ertness, toUvatch over its disorders.
A portion of valuable w sher-women and nur
ses, so indispensihle to a great number of our
citizens, would be beyond the reach of rendering
any beneficial service without the rem te possi
bility of their pi ice being effectually supplied by-
persons of a different color.
I slia'l not estimate he i jury to widowed la
dies, who ar mainly dependent on this source
of revenue for th'-ir support. When y .u attempt
to carry- into complete operation the Section
now under consideration, you will then see the
error of your legislation, or be steeled against
that grief which arises from the helplessness of
poverty. A CITIZEN.
er logs in the Cliatahoochee than in the
Savannah river, even after the great la
bour and expeuse which has been bestow
ed on the Savannah for the removal of
these dangerons obstructions—the shoals
in the Cliatahoochee are composed of
such materials as, when once removed,
will remain permanently open—the course
of the Cliatahoochee is much stfaighter
than the Savannah, or any other river in
the State, it being only 154 miles l y the
meanders of the river (as shewn on the
maps of the dtl^rent districts on its banks)
frmn the lower end of the Columbus Re
serve to the Florida line, which, by a
straight line on land is 120 miles—be
sides this shortness of navigation, there is
another decided advantage in the straight
ness of its course, namely, that as there
are few quick bends or sinuosities,'tiiebanks
are less liable to be undermined bv the
abrasion of the waters, and of course less
likelihood of sand bars being formed than
in any of the alluvial rivers.
I have no doubt, unless some law is en
acted to prevent the felling of trees on
the banks of this river and its tributary
streams, that it may in time be as much
encumbered bv logs as the other rivers;
but it is hoped, from what I have said on
this subject in other reports, the Legis
lature will see the iraporiance os passing
a law to put an end to this practice.”

“This city at present, and lias been
for the last six weeks, afflicted with an
epidemic diseare, or influenza, called here
Dengue, which Is but an imitation of the
sound of the Dandy, under which name
it committed its ravages in Jamaica and
Curacoa. It is a species of rheumatic
scarlet fever, the fever lasting about 24
hours and intolerable rheumatic* pains for
several days aftei wards. I do not speak
front experience, for I have not yet had
it, though as few escape, I cannot antici-
pa.e that I shall. In some families them
are twenty persons laid down with it, at
the same time I should not be surprised if
it spread throughthe States. It does not
terminate fatally, nor does it require me
dicine.
