the consummation of an event, wliish would
ensure complete protection to no important
liart of our Union, wtiich had stiffend much,
from incursion and invasion, and In the de
fence of which, his very gallant afd patrio
tic services, had been so signally Bud useful
ly devoted.
From the intrinsic dilficnlt ,, of executing
Jaws deriving their origin from different
sources, and so essentially different in ma
ny important circumstances, the advantage,
and, indeed, the necessity, of establishing,
as soon as may be practicable, a well organ
ized government over that territory, on the
principles of oor system, is apparent. This
subject, therefore is recommended to the
eariy consideration of Congress.
In compliance with an injunction of the
law of the 8d of March last, three Commis
sioners have also been appointed, and a hoard
organized, for carrying into effect the ele
venth article of the Treaty above recited,
making provision for the payment oT such
nf onr citizens, ns have well founded claims
on Spain, of the character specified by that
treaty. This board has entered on its du
ties, and made some progress therein. The
Commissioner and Surveyor of His Catho
lic .Majesty, provided for by the fourth arti
cle of the Treaty, have not yet arrived in the
United States, but are soon expected. As
Bonn as they do arive. corresponding ap-
pointmenls will be made, and every facility
be afforded, for the due execution of this
service.
The Government of His Most Faithful
Majesty, since the termination of the last
kession of Congress, has been removed from
Rio de. Janeiro to Lisbon, where a revolu
tion, similar to that which had occurred in
the neighbouring kingdom of Spain, ‘
like manner, been sanctioned, by the :i
etl and pledged faith of the reigning
arch. The diplomatic intercourse between
the United States and the Portuguese do
minions, interrupted by that important e-
vent, has not yet been resumed, but the
change of internal administration, having al
ready materially affected the commercial in
tercourse of the United States with the
Portuguese dominions, the renewal of the
public missions between the two countries,
appears to be advisable at an early day.
it is understood that the Colonies in South
America have had great success during the
present year, in the struggle for their Inde
pendence. The new Government of Co
lumbia has extended its territories, and con
siderably augmented its strength ; and at
.Buenos Ayres, where civil dissension had,
for some time before, prevailed, greater
harmony and better order, appear to have
been established. Equal success has attend
ed their efforts in the provinces on the Paci
fic. It has long been manifest, that it would
he impossible for Spain to reduce these Co
lnnies by force, and equally so, that no con-
dilions, short of their independence, would
lie satisfactory to them. It may therefore
be presumed, and it is earnestly imped, that
tfit 1 Government of Spain, guided by enligh
tened and liberal counsels, will find it to
comport with its interests, and due to its
magnanimity, to terminate this exhausting
controversy, on that basis. To promote tins
result, by friendly counsel, with tli« Govern
ment of Spain, will be tlie object of the Go
vernment of the United States.
In conducting the fiscal operations of
the year it lias been found necessary to
carry into full effect the act of the last
session in Congress, authorizing a loan
of five millions of dollars. 1 h‘ s ?nm ' la9
been raised at an average premium ol
five dollars fifty-nine hundredths, per
cent, upon stock bearing an interet at
the rate of five per cent, per annum, re
deemable at the option of the govern
ment after the first day of January, I8><,>
There has been issued, under the pro
visions of this act. four millions seven
hundred and thirty-five thousand two
hundred and ninety-six dollars t in y
cents, of five per cent, stock ; and there
has been, or will be, redeemed during
the year, throe millions one hundred and
ninety-seven thousand thirty dollars se-
verly-one cents of Louisiana six per
U.c.ant. deferred stock, and Mississippi
flfslock. Theresas, therefore, been
actual increase of the public de , con
traded during the year, of one million
five hundred and thirty-eight thousand
two hundred and sixty-six dollars sixty
nine cents. f
The receipts into the Treasury
the Dt of January to the 30tli of• fP
last, have amounted to sixteen million'
two httidred and nineteen thousand one
. hundrA and ninety-seven dollars seven
fcty cents which with the balance of one
trillion ino hundred and nmety-e.g u
thousandfbut hundred and s,xty-one dol
tars tweof-one cents in the Treasury on
this year, is nine hundred and fifty-two
thousand dollars less than that of the same
quarters of the last year.
There are just grounds to believe
that the improvement which has occur
red in the revenue, during the last men
tioned period, will not only be maintain
ed, but that it will progressively increase
through the next and several succeed
ing years, so as lo realize the results
which were presented upon that subject
by the official reports of the Treasury,
at the commencement of the Inst session
of Congress
Under the influence of the most un
favorable circumstances, the revenue,
for the next and subsequent years, to the
year 1825, will exceed the demands at
present authorized by law.
It may fairly be presumed, that, under
the protection given to domestic manu
features, by the existing laws, we shall
iccomc, at no distant period, a manufac
turing country, on an extensive scale
Possessing, as we do, the raw materials,
:i such vast amount, with a capacity to
augment them, to an indefinite extent:
raising within the country aliment ol
every kind, to an amount far exceeding
the demand for home consumption, even
in (be most unfavorable years, and to be
obtained always at a very moderate price
skilled also, as our people are in the
mechanic arts, and in every improve
ment calculated to lessen the demand for,
and the price of labor, it is manifest that
their succe a s, in every branch of domes
tic industry, may and will be carried
under the encouragement given by the
present duties, to an extent to meet any
demand, which, under a fair competition
may be made on it
A considerable increase of domestic
manufactures, by diminishing the inpor
tation of foreign, will probably tend to
lessen the amount of the public revenue
As however, a luge proportion of the
revenue, which is derived from duties
is raised from other articles than manu
factures, the demand for which will in
crea*e with our population—it is believ
ed, that » fund will still be raised from
that source, adequate to the greater part
of the national expenditures, especially
as those expenditures, should we con
tinue to be blessed with peace, will be
diminished by the completion of the for
tifications, dock yards, and other public
works ; by the augmentation ot the na
vy to the point, to which, it is proposed
to carry it, and by the payment of the
public debt, including pensions for mili
tary services.

Subscriber,
FROM TIIE (lEORCIA JOURNAL,
To In's Excellency John Clark.
Permit me in behalf of the youth of
Georgia, to congratulate you on the re-
suit of a contest which has terminated in
elevating you a second time to the Ex
ecutive chair of state, an event which
has elucidated more clearly the political
doctrines of the state, and pointed more
certainly to the road which leads to the
highest civil promotion, than all the mo
ral and political precepts of the sages
. , , pres/nt age.—-
A combination and coucurrejee of for
tuitous circumstances may occasionally
occur to elevate the most /ndeserving
to the highest offices, and tf a cause of
this kind the enemies of yoX Excellency
have not scrupled to atlnfutc your first
election, with how much uuth let recent
events declare. We ha^ not been in
attentive observers of tp busy scenes,
which for the last twclri months, have
been playing on the poetical theatre, the
last act of which has furnished us with
more political inforndition than we had
heretofore derived fr/mil ays of research
and nights of labor. AVe have witnessed
combination,extensive in its operations,
respectable for its numbers, formidable
for its talents, k unceasing in its efforts,
directing all its labors to the single point
of defeating your election. The press
' as been inundate*! with essays, in which
your moral and political character has
been assailed with the foulest aspersions;
your conduct has been scrutinized from
the earliest years of youthful indiscre
tion and intemperance, to the latest peri
od of executive misrule. Appeals have
been made to the patriotism and good
sense of the people on one hand, and to
their moral and religious prejudices on
the other. At one time the denuncia
tions of the holy scriptures are thunder
ed against you, at another the awful con
sequences of a flagrant breach of the
fundamental law cf the land, are pro
claimed to the people. The almost for
gotten distinction of Federalist and Re
publican, has again linen revived, and
you have been ranked in the class of
those, who in this state, have long been
considered enemies to the best interests
of our country. Thd Yazoo speculation,
than which, we are (old, a more detcata
blc and damnable fraud was never exe
cuted or even conceived, by which the
State of Georgia was robbed of untold
millions, and which, we arc informed,
roused almost to frenzy, the indignation
of a whole people, had been almost for
gotten in the lapse of yenrs. But the
buried records of this most nefariou
transaction have teen disentombed by
the enemies of ytiur Excellency, and
your own fair name is said to be found in
the black catalogue of thoso who united
to defraud the stale, over which you now
preside with so (touch honor and dignity,
of the fairest |>ortion of her princely
domain. You have been opposed by a
man of acknowledged ability, of unbend
ing integrity, and of the purest political
virtue, the recollection of whose politi
cal services, arc still fresh in the minds
of the people, Yet under the accumu-
ated charges of vice and corruption, of
ignorance and malignity, of Federalism
and Yazooism, reiterated from one end
of the stale to another, and opposed by
a man who stands above all calumny, you
have triumphed over your opponents,
and again seat yourself securely in the
executive chair. How glorious the tri
umph ! W(e most candidly confess to
your Excellency that these events have
excited the utmost surprise in onr youth
ful minds, for we found the prejudices
of early education, and those old fashion
ed, but now obsolete doctrines, which
taught us to believe, that to rise to poli
tical eminence in a free government, it
was necessary lo possess taleDts and in
tegrity, moral and political honesty, and
a zealous attachment to the cause of Re
publicanism, still lingering about our
hearts. But the re-election of your Ex
cellency has completely dispelled the
political delusions under which we have
labored, and a bright dawn cf light has
broken on our minds ; so long benighted
bv the antiquated doctrines of oar fathers
Many of us look forward with palpitating
anxiety for the period when we too shall
perform our parts in the busy scenes of
political life, when we shall l>e called
by the voice of our country to mingle in
her councils, or to administer her law*.
Onr young hearts have been animated
with a noble zeal and a holy ambition to
prepare ourselves for the most exalted
rank in the gift of a free people. For
this purpose we have perused with ca
ger research, the rich repositories of an
cient lore, and the still more instructive
pages of modern history. 1' or this pur
pose we have relinquished all the intoxi
eating pleasures of youthful folly, and
devoted the spring time of life to the se
verest meutal labor. But recent events
have induced us to pause and enquire,
why act we thus unwisely ? If men who
are said to have spent their youth in the
lowest state of debauchery, and their
manhood in scenes of bribery and cor
ruption, who are confessedly destitute ol
education and talents, fill the most hon
orable appointments in the state, to the
exclusion of those who have been the
uniform opposers of political vice &. cor
ruption, who are known to possess cul
tivated talents with unshaken integrity,
why should we not relinquish this eager
pursuit after virtue and intelligence, find
ing that they are mere phantoms that
will never lead lo political distinction ?
In an age and country, where ignorance
and vice are the sure passports to honor
and to office, why should we labor to
become wise, or strive to remain virtu
ous ? How grossly have our Baldwins,
our Jacksons, our'Milledges and others,
erred in supposing the lasting interest of
the state could be promoted by appro
priating the public funds to the encour
agement of literature ami virtue ? How
much more wisely have our sages and
patriots of the present day acted, by
squandering the public lanJs of the state
in the promotion of the most destructive
species of vice, in the shape of lotteries,
while the literary institutions of the
country, like the wandering mendicant,
receive alms barely sufficient to prolong
a miserable existence ? But fearing that
a further detail of the enlightened policy
of the powers that be, may be thought
an invidious triumph over our pros
trate opponents, we A>rl>ot»f, Suffice It
to say, we glory in enlisting ourselves
under the banners of a political cliiellan,
w ho requires neither virtue nor talents
in his partisans, and who, amidst all the
loul charges which have been proved n-
gainst him, has never been guilty of the
sin ofnpostacy, a vice which ivc are told
by the Trio, has become extremely fash
ionable in the present age. The same
moral precepts adopted in youth, you
adhere to in age. The federal politics
professed during the administration of
John Adams, are adhered to in the ad
ministration of James Monroe, and the
same state policy which induced you to
engage in the Yazoo fraud, is the justi
fication of your ample drafts on the con
brought into immediate and effective op- l
oration.—A'. J. Fredonian.
