Melancholy Shipwreck.—The last English
papers contain the distressing particulars of
the) shipwreck ofthesehr. Three Brothers
of St. Andrews, on a voyage with staves from
India to Berbice. The sclir. was fallen in
w ith at sc. by nnnther vessel on the 2d of
April.—At this time she was a complete
wreck, and had hut one Indvidual, J. Mun
son, on hoard ; whose situation was beyond
the powers of human description. On the
2d March she experienced a most dreadful
gale, in which she was capsized and Idled
with water. The vessel lay on tier beam
ends and carried away the masts and bow •
•prit, and with them the capt. who sunk to
rise no more There remained on the wreck
six persons, one. of which was the captain’s
son, a youth'; he survived lus lather 28 days.
They remained till the 25th, without any
sustenance of consequence, when the mate
died. In this dreadful situation a hug pas-
se.d them so near they could see the men on
deck hut they did not see them. At tins
time’their provisions were all expended,
when they were under the necessity of ea
ting the body of the mate.
The next day, three more died, and one
was washed overboard ; leaving only Mun
son who was taken off on the 2d, 8* brought

RECORDER.
MILLEDGEVILLE, TUESDAY, JUNE 19.
fij*" In several newspapers we have seen
paragraphs expressing a belief tha: the Flo
ridas will not he delivered by Spain till the
expiration of the time limited by the treaty
We are not of that opinion. The Hornet,
sent to the Havana to make arrangements
for the delivery, was to have sailed (as we learn
by an arrival at Charleston) for Pensacola,
some weeks ago. Before this she should
have arrived there, and we expect daily to
hear, that the Province has been formally
delivered to the Agents of our government,
Since writing the above, an Alabama pa
per of the 9th inst. lias been received, which
contains the following article :
“ We are informed by a gentleman who
left Pensacola on the 20tli ult. that the Hor
net had not arrived when lie left; hut that
he met with an officer on the 31st at Fort
Dale, who informed him that lie had received
Information from Col. Brook, that the Hor
net’s arrival at that place had been announ
ced to Gen. Jackson, at Montpelier, who, it
was expected, would reach Pensacola on the
Sd inst.”
The pecuniary pressure which with
in the l»9t tvlo years has been so severely
felt in every part of our country, has with ns
we tfust nearly arrived at its worst. Land
ed property and negroes are now in this state
at nearly as low a price as they were during
the Embargo, although our produce is high
er. Under such circumstances, the continu
ed and rapid improvement of this town of-
Jftirsthe best guaranty of its ultimate prospe
rity. A greater number of good buildings
are fiow erecting than we have ever before
noticed, even in the most prosperous times,
Many of the old houses too have lately been
so enlarged and improved as to give them an
appearance altogether new.

That “ human nature i9 always the same,”
that is, that man shows himself to be the sub
ject of similar motives, under similar C.rcum-
ttances, in all ages of the world, is a general
truth, with but’ Aw exceptions, long admit
ted by Philosophers, whether Infidels or
Christians. The practice of virtue was be
lieved by the heathen moralists, to be the
most abundant source of human happiness,
and they wondered at it s neglect. Under
the Christian dispensation no other subject
bears any comparative importance to that of
the soul’s eternal welfare vet, how often,
and with how much cause does the pious

( As laineutahle, as uiuiuniuhlc, is the care-
.essnpsa shewn by subsequent generations fur
the preservation of principles which have in
volved their lathers in the horrors of revo
lution, and civil war. The Puritan of the
present age, regards not with morn rever
ence, nor practices with more rigid and reli
gious sincerity, the principles of his progeni
tor, because^ lie suffered martyrdom in their
support. The fire of persecution has been
extinguished in the blood of victims whose
unworthy descendants already find their vi
cious propensities too much checked by the
unbending purity of doctrines, for which
they triumphantly expired at (he stake. A
Hambden, a Russel, or a Sydney, fearlessly
encountered death in a struggle which ter
minated in placing upon the English statute
hook, a Hill of Rights, ba Habeas Corpus Act:
Are the liberties of their countrymen at pre
sent better protected by these great char
ters, and is their preservation even deemed
worthy of a second contest ? What citizen
of tile United States of the age of forty years,
can have forgotten the warmth and fearful
ness of the struggle which seated Mr. Jeffer
son in the executive chair of this Govern
ment in 1901 ? It was a struggle for princi
ples—the principles of thfrevolution o/T778,
bought with hlnod, and built up by years of
labor and privation. Their price alone is re
membered—that has been perpetuated by
the historian; hut the principles themselves
have been forgotten. One after another
they have faltth before the scythe of innova
lion, and disappeared while the boast of the
name under which they were won, yet
sounds in our ears. They have been de
stroyed by their own champions. By Re
publicans, has the banner of republican prim
eiplcs been torn from the lofty height on
which their own hands had placed it for the
admiration and protection of posterity, and
basely trampled under foot.
To account for tho changes of opinion in
men, in relation to political doctrines, and
indeed we might add, of all moral science,
would lie n task far more difficult than it
would appear on first thought. It would
seem that no other subjects are as much
within the doirflnion of mind, nr better admit
of elucidation by rational labor; yet upon no
other subjects has the change of opinion
been inure radical or frequent, or unaccount
able. The bloodless victory obtained by rea-
son and the principles of liberty, over error
and usurpation in masquerade in 1801, and
to which allusion has just been made, affords
a proof of what we advance. At the time
that the change was effected, those who had
been most ardent in the pursuit, believed that
a secession from the principles which then
influenced the public mind, was scarcely pos
sible. But we should do injustice to our
selves and our subject, if we did not admit
that such q change has taken place, and yet
it h “ passing strange.”—The political priest
hood continues in the “ line of Aaron.”*-
Those who led in the conflict, are yet “ com
manrlers of the host; the power is yet in
hands in which “ of olden time” the people
were wont to repose confidence. Is it pos
sible that their former professions were r.c
moie than idle words, intended as a tempo
rary sedative of public suspicion ?—or, have
they miraculously received a flood of new
light, teaching them that truth is to be found
only in that course of policy alone, against
which they so lately contended with such bit
terness? Were the Jeffersons, the Madi
sons, the Gallatins, the Baldwins and Jack-
sons^!) of 1801, “allin the wrong” in their
political idiilnsophyi and in twenty short
years has such an advance been made in go
vernmental science, as proves that a new era
has commenced ? Oh no! It is rather to
be feared that former principles are no long
er useful to those in office. The prize has
been won—the power has been obtained ;
and the restraints wrhich they were willing
to impose upon their predecessors, hang like
a galling weight upon their necks. “ Human
nature is always the same.” Power ever
seeks to he unshackled ;(2) and the instru
ments of its success are, more often than o-
thervvise the objects of its hatred. When
the children of Israel, led by the Lord oi
Hosts, had escaped tile sword of Pharaoh,
and the devouring waves of the Red sea,
their debt of gratitude became an insupport
able burden, and they sought to forget the
God of their salvation, by prostrating them
selves before the idols of their late oppres-
sors—So under the guidance of the republi
can doctrines of 1799, all of which had their
root in the principles of the revolution, the
present administrators of the government
were enabled tostay the march of innovation;
to terminate what they emphatically called
“ the reign of terror,” mid in 1801, to make
themselves the depositories of public confi
dence. These principles constituted their
“ pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night,”
and directed their feet through a “ wilderness
of reformation.” Which of them are now
hold in reverence, or adopted in practice ?—
Nor owe! We repeat it, and with confi
dunce, because we think it proveahle—not
ose ! Some of those who declaimed most
in their support, have discarded them as the
unsubstantial visions of a wild theory, and
have “turned them unto strange Gods.” The
federalists no longer exist as a [tarty, yet fe
deralism never flourished in greater vigour.
The surviving stragglers of that broken fac
tion, have fearlessly raised their heads, and
smiling maliciously, rub their hands in exta-
ey at the discovery, that their destroyers are
not more impervious to the suggestions of
ambition and power, than they were, Those
who fled the storm which was likely to in
volve them in tile ruin of their fellows, Have
forsaken their hiding places, and availing
themselves of the general amnesty, and obli
vion to the past, made by the “ powers that
he ” have sought and obtained objects which
they once believed forever placed beyond
their reach. (3) Woe to him w ho shall dare
to hint that there is danger in their elevation,
and yet greater evils await the man who has
the temerity to declare that our rulers have
forsaken the policy which placed them in
authority. He is denounced as “ a disap
pointed demagogue,” “ the enemy of the ad
ministration,” “a stirrer up of sedition,” “ an
exciter of party broils,” and “ the revivor of
ancient discords”—What is he not called ?
No abuse can sufficiently humble, no term
sufficiently abase him. Whatever lias been
his political character heretofore, it cannot
save him from the bull of excommunication.
“He opposes the administration!” Onre
there was no crime in this.—“ He attacks the
executive."—This is now an offence for
which there is no limit to the violence of
ceasure. The time was when a rigorous
scrutiny into executive conduct was deemed
a public virtue—Now It in an overt act of a
sort of moral treason. It wets the proud pri
vilege or the citizen to watch the public a-
„ent with a vigilant eye—AW the only ques
tion asked is “does he support the adminis
tration ?” If he does, he gives the strongest
proof of his worth—If he dots not, he is “con
demned already,” and even a sacrifice of
cXecutire discretion gives the law of t'.io l.tfldj:
That cannot err—" It is the opinion of the
President”—Whatever the measure, here is
proof of its propriety.
Mow different from the practice nf 1709!—
Then terrors of a sedition law could not pro
tect the public servants from the charge of
trampling on the rights of the people, or the
slates. Should some individual, more jea
lous than his neighbors, now suggest a doubt
of any leading measure of policy ns being
calculated in its effects to impair the one or
the other, he is placed under the keen eye of
suspicion t and the moment he ventures to
show its inconsistency with ancient orthodox
principles, hiBdoom is fixed, and nothing ean
rescue him from theostracism of the “times.”
It is immediately proclaimed that “ the ad
ministration is republican"—Error is there-
fure'impossihle! Old principles inny he
wrong, the President never—This or that
secretary of a department may he wrong,
hut for their conduct or opinions, the Presi-
dent is not accountable, though they are the
creatures of his will I Such, in effect, is the
language of the sycophants of the day. Wlm
does not see covered under this garb nf Mind
confidence, the advance of a principle which
is the sturdiest prop of Monarchy, viz: “The
King can do no wrong.” It is yet the sub
ject of ridicule, and it is so, merely because
it contains the word “ King.” But, to judge
from the adulation of his admirers, the Pre
sident is as incapable of wrong, as the brutal
being who fills the British throne.
But Heaven he praised, the press degrad
ed as it is by its conductors, is unshack
led. Let him who would avail himself of
its advantage, be speedy in its use; for no
man can calculate the period before it will
be deemed “ necessary and proper,” to des
troy its usefulness under the constitutional
pretence of “ promoting the general welfare”
by checking its licentiousness. Be it remem
bered, that the ball of usurpation is ever ac
cumulating in its progress, and that it lias
commenced its rotation through all the na
tions of the e.aith.j— [To be continued.]

To the Editor of the Georgia Advertiser.
1 think with you, sir, that it is not surpriz
ing for the members of a legislative hotly to
differ conscientiously in their opinions, both
upon trifiling and important questions,—[
say also, that it is as natural for men out of
■ag.aiaiive assemblies «o lo differ. Between
you and me there does exist a wide differ
ence of sentiment upon the subject of your
remarks on the protest of the minority in
the Georgia legislature. Those remarks fell
from your disciplined pen with the gentle-
Biit as f*
iudiment and opinion, works no atonement
for the wrong ttf has co^tp^
ness of dew. But as r conceive that they
fell upon the shoots of rank political error,
and are calculated silently to promote their
growth, I am enforced by my regard tortile
Republic, to attempt the counteraction of
their influence. With the ease and grace of
a veteran parugrnphmt, you run over the
grounds occupied by the dissentients in their
protest, affecting in the spirit of gentlemanly
candour and concession, to redeem them
from contempt for their errors, by recogniz
ing their right to follow honest convictions,
and even to cling obstinately fo unsavoury
heresies. I dare to say,sir, that the minoiity
on the celebrated eulogistic resolutions are
ready to thank you for your liberu^indnl-
gence to tlicir wanderings, and the people
at large, whatever they may think of the re
solutions and the principles which they im
ply and vindicate, will rejoice fo perceive
that you are unwilling to crush the freedom
of enquiry, or disallow the most undaunted
independence of vote i'u their legislature.—
Really upon a rursory reading of your re
marks, the courtesy-from which they seem
to flow, and tin- polished delicacy that ap
pears to invest them, might cheat one into a
notion that you viewed the protest from ve
ry elevated vantage ground.; distinctly saw
the pitiable misconceptions in which it origi
nated, mid with the dignity of truth in its
noblest triumph, would fain throw tlie soft
est mantlu of charity, perhaps of oblivion,
overtlic impotent attacks of the wrong head
ed protestants. Yet, a sterner and steadier
inspection of your article, to myself at least,
betrays a sensitive dread of traversing the
course of the Governor, as dcleniated in the
protest, and a manifest shrinking from the
standard of constitutionality and law, to dip
the question entirely beyond (lie reach of ar
gument, and out of sight of scrutiny into the.
overwhelming majority which carried the
resolutions. But suffer me to remind you,
that even that majority, large as it was, is
equally answerable with the Governor nr any
other servant of the people, to the tribunal of
the public. Before that tribunal they do yearly
stand to give an account of the deeds done
in the legislative body. They now so stand
to undergo the high ordeal. Upon such a
trial, l would ask your candour and intelli
gence, if it is competent for any member of
a majority in his direct justification of him
self to his constituents, fop the principles or
consequences of his.vute, to plead in bar of
enquiry and decision, the imposing multi
tude with which lie had moved over the
boundaries of the constitution ? Would it
be more reasonable, w hen tile people come
with the constitution in their hands, and th
immutable principles of natural equity i
their hearts, to test the conduct of their re
presuntalivc ; for such representative to seek
the sanction of his course merely in the
numbers by whom he was surrounded ; than
for him to claim exemption from censure by
shewing he find gone with a minority, and
therefore had been accessory to neither good
nor barm? I conceive not. Isa tiling right'?
(s it wrong? These are stubborn points ol
enquiry, independent on numbers for a solu
tion. Here, if you insist, and 1 concede, that,
in a government free and responsible like
ours, the only immediate evidence, and os
tensible proofofthe conformity ofa measure
to the character and interest of the state,—
of the rongruity of any act, with the funda
mental charter of our lights and safety, is
the bare fact, that it was done and approved
by sworn representatives, freshly from the
people ai«d speedily returning to their mass
4^ain ; what will it avail to justify you, (when
you hud chosen to write at all Upon the mat
ter,) in forgetting entirely that the reason of
the annual renewals of that body, as well as
of the definite limitations in the constitution,
was founded upon the possibility, that even
lli? repijWtfltatn •» of pcoulu uu- 1 ;* — •
times dishonor their ronslitnents and furnish
their seats into petty agencies of party spirit f
At best, sir, your postulate results in nothing
more than what lawyers call priina facie
evidence. Before the Clear front nf positive
proof, that kind ofevidence always vanishes.
In the protest which you so courteously and
smoothly noticed, many sturdy facts are ar
rayed. You chose to puss them w ith avert
ed face and closed lips, to prattle about the
infallibility of legislative majorities, and the
unanswerable plea of expediency. To the
enlightened community of this state, you
said in substance—"Here is a protest of a
portion of your legislature against the delibe
rate act of an incomparable, ma jorit y dr that
body. It contains alli gations hard to nega
tive, and imputations boldly fixed. It char
ges, that tlie Exerutive lias throated his arm
through u breach in the constitution into the
treasury of the state, to draw thence the
hard earnings of the people to pay again fur
what they hud already paid an enormous
equivalent. It chargus too a corrupt and
perfidious disbursement of the public mo
ney, impeaching the principle, and denying
the necessity of the largesse. But with tiles#
things, good people, you have nothing to do.
When at the pcftls you bestowed your vptes,
you made to yourselves dictators; yon sur
rendered your opinions, your [tower, your
principles, your all, into the infallible keeping
ofthe majority ofthe legislature. You’lmve
no prerogative to review ; you have no pri
vilege to censure end dismiss. In the hour
that you handed your ballots to the presid
ing magistrates of elections, your suprema
cy departed from you, and your political
faith was thenceforward firmly pinned to the
sleeve of your representatives. Wot ye not
that with the slip of paper on which your
vote was written, your superiority mysteri
ously vanished ; and you became the impli
cit servants of those whom your votes crea
ted vour legislators." 1 have aimed to give
a fair construction to the spirit of your re
marks. Reconsider them for yourself. By
the pressure nf other engagements, 1 ran de
vote no more time to you now ; hut bug you
to meet the grounds of tire protest one. by
one, and refute them where they are refuta
ble, and reconcile them where they are re
concilable, with the honor of Georgia and the
integrity ofthe constitution.
TAUELAGA.
Washington, June G.
Arrangements have been made, by the
different departments of our government,
which seemed to indicate nn expectation
that possession of the Flovidas would lie
yielded to the United States Ivy the Spanish
authorities', as soon as our officers were rea
dy to receive it. We know, for instance,
that Governor Jackson, and other United
States’ officers, are on the spot. Recent in
formation, however, induces us to doubt
whether the Spanish authorities are so ready
to give up the reins of government there,
however loosely they lie in their hands.—
They have a right to retain the possession
for six months from the ratification; but in
good faith they ought not to do it. Such a
delay could he of up advantage to the Span-
i-h nation, whilst it might be seriously pre
judicial to the United States, by affording
an opportunity to a few despicable creatures
to smuggle slaves ur.d foreign goods into our
country.
Considering what evils attend a country
without government, as the Floridtts effectu
ally ore, under present circumstances—what
temptations are uffurded to knavery, what
impunity to crime, we hope that, un more
direr.t information, it will appear that the
government of Spain has not determined to
reduce the value of the acquisition as much
as is in her power, by keeping possession to
the last moment., Half the value •fun act
of amity consists in the manner in which it
is performed. The government of Spain
having, after an ungracious delay of two
years, made up its mind to ratify the treaty,
ought certainly to iiave wasted no time in
carry ing it into effect.—JVat. tit.
wc Itjil imped |# do jp |,me for (his publica
tion. Wc fear, from what we learn, that the
utmost harmony may not be expected to
prevail in that body during the present ses
sion, but, we sincerely .wish that we may tie
disappointed in our apprehensions.—Rep.
The public execution of Manuel Philip
Garcia and Joseph Demos Garcia Vastillnno,
pursuant to their sentence, for the murder of
Peter Lageardgtle, tookplace near Norfolk,
Vir. oil the 1st inst. They have left vo
luminous MS. tn tin published after .their
death, which is said to contain information
of considerable interest and importance. It
is now in the press at Norfolk, and will soon
bo published.
A discovery, of a singular nature has re
cently been made, and which may well en
gage tlie speculations and researches of sci
entific men'. The fact itself is all we can at
present pretend to state; and the correctness
of this any of our readers may liavr an op
portunity obtesting hy actual experiment.—
To make this experiment five persons are re
quired. I.etone of these lay down flat on
his bark, and by bracing his muscles let him
stiffen himself as much as possible ;—at tin-
same time let four others Stand round him,
two on each side, one near the head, the o-
ther.at the feet;—in this situation let all the
five inhale as much air as possible so as com
pletely to inflate the lungs—then let the per
sons standing, place one or two of their fin
gers against, or rather under the shoulders,
and the other under the feet of the person
laying down, and let all at thrfsatne instant
giadonlly let out the breath they hnvi in
haled, and while this is doing the person lay
ing will he raised by the Angers of the per
sons standing, entirely up horizontally one
or two feet high, and witn not more force or
exertion than would be required to raise • a
cork of a similar size, The only difficulty In
making the experiment is merely that of cau
sing all the parties to act together—the per
son Mying is perfectly passive except that of
keeping himself stiffand gradually expelling
his breath simultaneously with the others.
That all may act together, it might be well
that all should act at a signal given—any five
persons ran make the experiment, and the
body, it is stated to ns, will ba invariably rai
sed. Several experiments have been made
here, and the publisher nf this paper has
witnessed their success. The cause or rea
son ofthe body’s being raised without the
application of more force, We pretend not to
explain, the fact itself is a matter of singu
lar curiosity, and is well worthy of examina
tion—it may possibly he hereafter scion
tilicallv accounted for, when the principle of
life, and the influence of oxygenated gas, ure
more perfectly understood.

332 hags Sea-hlauds, and u decrease of 114
Uplands. From Charleston a decrease of
487 Sea-Islands, and 1 1,287 Uplands—mak
ing a total decrease from the two ports ot
1J6 Sea-Islands, and 11,401 Uplands.
The increase ofexportation coastw ise from
the port of Savannah lias been 10,099 bag
From Charleston a decrease of 23G bags,
leaving a total increase of 9863 hags. So
that it would appear there has been u total
decrease of exportation in both descriptions
of Cotton from the two [.oils of dljtlUi hags.
We are requested to correct an error
which occured in the number of soul?
in Kubnn County. We computed it at
about I,GOO ; hut we are informed there
are not more than 400 inhabitants,
the county. The Marshal has not bee
able to procure a person who would take
the census in Rabun— this is the cause
that no returns have been made. An as
sistant was appointed for the cnuniy oil
Elbert ; but lie lias failed in the per
formance ofhis duty—the supposed num
ber of souls in this county, is said to lie
about correct. 1,200 must, therefore,
be deducted from the general aggregate
—say.”41,773, which will leave 343,-
573, the population of Georgia.
