mildness .trul forbearance. But, by such
jeiH'isals, the government that does the
wrong suders less tlian the unoffending
subject. It seems a more just reprisal
to occupy the province which lias Keen
made an instrument of injury, which
has been designated by Spain herself as
the fund for our indemnity, and whose
occupation by the United States will
stop the accumulation oftliose claims for
compensation and redress, which (he
mis rovernment of that neglected colony
continually produces. The committee
submit to the house a bill to authorize
the President of the United States to
take possession of East 4c West Florida,
anJ establish a temporary government
therein.
There appears too much reason to
believe, from the mistake of the Spanish
negotiator, as to the dates of the Span
wli grants, which it was intended to an
nul, if the projected treaty had been
ratified, that the Crown lands in Florida
may be insufficient to provide the ex
pected indemnity for our losses. But
these may be applied, as far as they will
*0 to the compensation of our citizens
and fir the excess of our claim, Spain
by whose act the domain of Florida has
been rendered inadequate, must expect
us to look westward. Perhaps, when our
attention is thus forced to a direction
more interesting to Spain, her govern
ment may at lust admit that it is as much
her interest as ours, that the just claims
of the United States should be .provided
for by friendly convention, and we mad
hope that the next treaty between the two
nations may be executed as well as signed.
The following bill accompanied the re
port :
Rt it enacted, tfc. That the President of
the United States be, and he is hereby au
thorized and required to take possession of,
and occupy, the territories of East Ik West
Florida, and the appendages and appurte
nances thereof; and he is hereby authorized,
for that purpose, to employ any part of the
army and navy of the United States, St the
militia of any state, which he may deem 11c-
,C S*L- y ’:. And be it enacted. That, until the
end of the next session of Congress, unless
provision for the temporary government of
tlto said territories he sooner made by Con
gress, ail the military,civil, and iudicial pow
ers exercised ,by the officers of the existing
government of the same territories shall be
vested in such person and persons, and shall
be exercised in such manner, as the Presi
dent of the United States shall direct, for
maintaining the inhabitants of said territories
in the free enjoyment of their liberty, pro
perty, and religion: and the laws of the U.
States relative to the collection of the reve
nue, and the importation of persons of color,
shall he extended to the said territories; and
the President of the United States shall he,
and he is hereby authorized, within the
term aforesaid, to establish such districts tor
the collection of the revenue, and during the
recessof Congress to appoint such officers,
w hose commissions shall expire at the end
of the next session of Congress, to enforce
the said laws, as to him shall seem expedient.
' Sec. 3. And be it enacted, That the sum of
dollars is hereby appropriated, for the
S oie of carrying this act into effect, to be
out pf any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, and to be. applied
under the direction of the President of the
United States.
The bill was twice read, and referred
fo a committee of the whole on the state
of the Union.

Dear Sir—I wrote to you yester
day, and ns it may be important to
you and our friends to know it, a large
committee have just reported a bill, to
authorize the President to take pos
sesion of the Floridas, when in his
opinion it shall appear proper, and to
appropriate the necessary funds tor
that purpose. This has arisen, from
our not hearing, or not expecting to
hear, satisfactorily from Spam during

Statue of Washington—We have
been favored with the perusal of a letter
written by Jonathan Russell, Esq. of
Massachusetts, (late United States Min

great work, so honorable a proof of the
patriotism & public spirit of North-Car-

eral attention, it will be recollected, is
«nder the hands of that celebrated
•sculptor the Marquis Canova.and is now

displayed by the celebrated artist. W
very much regret that we have not the

RECORDER.
MILLKOUKVILLM, Ti ksday, March -8.
Oj^Tlie Committee of Foreign Relations,
as will be seen by their Report, recommend
that the President be authorized to take pos
session of the Floridas.
Qjc* On the Pth inst. in the House of Re
presentatives, our active and useful member,
Mr. Cobb, offered an amendment to the mi
litary appropriation hill in the following
words, which however was afterwards with
drawn, under the impression that it had bet
ter he annexed to the bill making the civil
appropriations for the current year—“ibr
the purposcof holding Treaties withlhe Creek
and Cherokee tribes of Indians, for the extin
guishment of the Indian title to all the lands
within the state of Georgia, pursuant to the
•Uh condition of the 1st article of the Articles
of Agreement and Cession concluded between
the United States and the State of Georgia,
on the 21th day of April, 1 BO", the sum of
thirty thousand dollars."
Qy** Mr. Secretary Crawford's Report
on the condition of the Banks and the state
of the Currency, is generally spoken of as an,
elaborate and valuable production—such we
certainly deem it to be, and regret that wc
can only give from it extracts, which we
shall, from time to time, publish.
05** With Mr. Reid’s Speech, we close
the Debate, on the Missouri (Question, of
which we ha\ e no doubt our readers arc
heartily tired. No small difference of opin
ion prevails among those opposed to restric
tion, as to the propriety of the compromise
by which this question w as finally settled.—
The Editors of the National Intelligencer
committcda mistake,(which (hey hav . since
corrected) in saying that Mr. Cobb of this
state was an advocate for the compromise.
We are warranted in saying he was oppos
ed to that compromise, from a conviction
that it Wu6-unconstitutional and unjust.
TOR THE RECORDER.
The pressure of the times is a general
complaint. It is iiot my object to enu
merate the causes whir., have conspired
to bring about ibis rapid change in our
circumstances which we little anticipat
ed, or to murmur against the allotments
of l'rovidence. Amidst all our difficul
ties and embarrassments, w e have abun
dant cause for gratitude ; k. this gratitude
ho old be expressed by affording immedi
ate reliefto those among us who feel most
sensibly the withering hand of poverty.
It is a fact too well known, that some of
our citizens would have suffered for the
common necessaries of. life, had it not
bceu for the charily of individuals. It
is equally true that many of our children
are wasting their time and contracting
vicious habita, merely because their pa
rents are unable to defray the expenses
of their education. Whether any thing
can be done to produce a change in their
condition, is an enquiry! of magnitude.
It is my opinion, as an individual, that it
cau be effected with comparative ease.
The liberality of our citizens has been
too frequently tried to admit eveu a
doubt on the subject. When an individ
ual is designated as an object of charity,
every thing necessary for his relief and
comfort has uniformly been supplied with
the greatest cheerfulness and prompti
tude. But in such cases, it is necessary
that some person, in whom the public
reposes confidence, should lead the way,
and solicit personally the aid required.
This is done by those who seize a mo
ment in the intervals of their profession
al duties for this purpose, or who touch
ed with symjiathy for their fellow crea
tures in distress, remit their attention
to their own business, that they may pay
this debt of humanity. Charity conduct
ed on this plan is certainly very com
mendable, and affords an ample proof of
the publick liberality ; though it must be
acknowledged incapable of reaching
every case.
The plan which I would now offer to
our citizens is ot a more general char
acter, and calculated to be more exten
sively beneficial than any which has yet
been adopted in this place. Let a socie
ty be formed for the express purpose of
relieving the wants of the indigent, and
educating the children of the poor.—
Let two or more individuals be appoint
ed in every ward of the town, who shall
constitute the prudential committee ol
the society, and whose duty it shall be
to examine the cases of all who may ap
ply for relief; let this society apply to
the corporation for their assistance if it
should be needed ; and at the next ses
sion of our Legislature, let them peti
tion that a certain poitionof the funds
appropriated for establishing free schools
be granted for the purpose of educating
the poor children in this place; and then
wc shall client what is proper und suita
ble to be done—we shall be charitable
on a plan that is calculated to produce
extensive and permanent good.
Institutions nro formed in many popu
lous towns in our country on a similar
plan, and have effected vastly more than
their original promoters ever imagined.
And is it not time that we should follow
these worthy examples? Is it not an
object of sufficient magnitude to aw aken
our attention, and engage our energies in
its behalf? The coldest calculator tlqit
ever gave a morsel of bread to the hun
gry must acknowledge, that charity con
ducted on a proper plan, is better for
the community and easier for individu
als than that which constrains the needy,
to beg from door to door. And every
one who suffers himself to retlect, must
admit, that it is altogether important for
the children of the unfortunute and the
poor to receive an education sufficient to
qualify them for transacting the pomuipn
business of life.
Milledgeville, March 25, 1020.
FOR THE RECORDER.:
It is impossible I think, for nny man of
whatever party lie may lie, who has any re
gard for the honor of‘the (Rule or its moral
character, to read the piece liiTlie. journal
and Recorder of tile 21st jnsf. signed John
Clark, without experiencing fet illigs 6f mor
tification mingled with' tlisgust; arid 1 am
sure, it would not be believed in any part of
the United Stales, where. Ids Excellency is
not personally known, had it not been bead
ed “Executive Department, Georgia,” that
it was written by the Governor of the State.
His Excellency says that Moore’s “ conduct
ip this business is far from being censurable,
except indeed, he should lyive taken the ori
ginal letters instead ofeopics,” This asser
tion is some what equivocally expiessed, but
I presume Iris Excellency meant to say, that
Moore was censurable only, fur not having
taken the original letters instead of copies.
What a monstrous doctrine for the Gover
nor of a Slate to propagate; and liow de
plorably must the malignant passions have
prevailed over his reason, lc> induce hint to
make such a declaration in a. public newspa
per. It strikes at the very foundation of ci-
vil soeiely, and the drstiuction of all those
social relations by which wc are held toge
ther.
It is certainly all important however, that
Iris Excellency sheuld support the character
of bis friend Moore, because, he appears to
be die forlorn hope to the column of evi
dence with which he lyis attempted to assail
me. And he therefore repe .ts that lie is of
fair character. Now I certainly think, and
I believe most other people will think as I
do, w ho are not bewildered by passion and
prejudice, that his Excellency lias himself
said enough to establish the character of
Moore without tfie aid of any proof on my,
part. He admits that Moore went to my
di sk, and took copies of Icttem, arid that lie
was authorised to search my desk by eapt.
W. S. Mitchell, my son, who had my autho
rity to do so. But his Excellency has for
gotten, that the authority here spoken of as
being given by captain Mitchell, if it were
matured, is denied. But supposing it true,
does it follow that because he was permitted
to go to my desk, that he was .to rille it of its
contents? Did the permission which lie says
lie had to search for a paper specifically nam
ed hv himself to have been the object of his
search, authorize him to take other (vapors ?
or might lie not as well have taken money,
or any other valuable article, as the paper!)
lie says he did take ? That Moore did not
take the original, letters, is no doubt a sub
ject of serious regret to his Excellency, but
the truth is,.Moore would have been as wil
ling to lake llie originals as his Excellency
would have been to receive them, hail any
such letters been in existence; hut, no such
letters were there, and Moore being no doubt
under obligation to do something for the
gratification of his employer, thought the
best substitute for the want of originals
would he to fabricate copies, which, with his
fair character, and the iiitinence of his triend
the Governor, lie would establish as taken
from genuine originals. The circumstance
of Moore’s ha; iog kept tile original letter,
which he received from an Indian, goes a
great w ay to prove, that he would have ta
ken the originals from my desk instead of
copies, had such originals been there; or
wily did lie not take a copy of chat, and give
me. tile original ?
With respect to Mr. Thompson’s affidavit,
I cannot conceive why that should so alarm
his Excellency. 1 have not as yet presented
it for tlie. consideration of the public, and if
iiis Exc’y will favor us with a few mole of
his “ moral reflections,” I think it will pro
bably be unnecessary. He has already ad
mitted enough to establish the fair character
of William Moore, without the aid of Mr.
Thompson, whose character is certainly as
fair as Win. Moore’s; for, although in a legal
sense there may he a difference between a
man who acknowledges tile commission of
an offence, and the man who has been con
victed of it, yet in a moral point of view,
they are the same. And I can assure his
Exc'y, that I neither threatened Hoy Coaxed
Mr. Thompson, nor did 1 promise him to
“ go the whole amount tor Inni.” These are
expedients to which I had no need to resort
in procuring his affidavit, for it was given vo
luntarily, and will he supported by others,
which will establish the real character of
Moore, in despite of Executive patronage.
The dirty insinuation, that a license was gi
ven to Mr. Thompson to trade with the In
dians, as the price of tlie affidavit, is beneath
contempt, and only serves to prove, that the
man wno made i<, is conscious that such
would he his own conduct if in my situation.
Before I take leave of the masterly pro
duction of his Excellency, permit me to ask,
what is meant by the concluding sentence,
where lie asserts, that “ well disposed citi
zens will not withhold important facta that
may tend to a complete developeilient of this
nefarious transaction, and thus wipe off a
foul stain from the character of the State.”
It is hardly possible that his Exc’y can have
reference to the nefarious., transaction of his
friend Moore, for, he assures us in the out
set, that the object of his publication is to
inhibit the taking of any more testimony on
that subject: although he has not proclaimed
the penalty for disobedience—that omission
wc are left to supply by imagination. My
own conjecture is, that lie must have had
his “ mind’s eye” on the introduction of Af
ricans, and most probably the case of those
in which lie, and his friend Moore, have
made so conspicuous a figure. But, here a-
gain I am met by inconsistency and contra
diction so strong, that this conjecture cun
only be supported by an admission, that th
assertion ol Ins Excellency is only one of
those extraordinary flights, not at all unusu
al w ith persons of brilliant imagination and
eccentric, genius: and not easily comure
bended by ocfiple of ordinary capacity like
myself, kor I believe it is universally
known, that the Africans alluded to, were
brought into the State by Mr. M’lulosh, un
der the authority of the Collector of the
Fort pf Brunswick, How his Excellency
van apply tlie epithet nefarious, to this trans
action, Or that it brought a foul stain upon
tile character of tin: State, is for him to ex
plain. Unless indeed ha lias reference to the
sale of a number of those Africans under a
law of the .State, in direct opposition to the
provisions of the act of Congress. And if
surh be. his meaning, its applicability will be
admitted by ail who have not got astride of
tlie subject, as a hobby upon which to ride,
like tiis Excellency, into public notice.
The public will see by the letter of the
hnndrahle John C. Calhoun, Secretary of
W pr, ot the (With of last mouth addressed to
me, a popy of which w as sent to the Gover
nor and published by him, tlie course which
has been given to the enquiry into the ow
nership and introduction uf the Africans re-
lered to. All I ask is a Suspension of their
opinion, until the contemplated enquiry is
luid, and they hhall then have a full state
ment ol the whole affair, by which they will
be enabled to come to it just conclusion.

FROM F.P,'GLAND—One day latest.
The fine, elegant packet ship Oglethorpe,

last evening, in So days from Liverpool.-—
By hut we have received files of London
jiajiei s ; but their contents have been antici
pated by the arrival of the ship Meteor, at
Charleston. Letters by the Oglethorpe, are
one ilgy later than those brought by the Me
teor. The prices of Cotton had not ma
terially varied from the quotations of the

every thing is represented to be at a stand!
The following is an extract of u letter re

February 12, 1020:
“ We have a flat market for Colton—at a

still more. 10,000 bags sold this Week, and
1 7,000 impui ted. Advices from Havre, stale,
