A very aflrrtlnpr trial for forgery took plat e
■rt Hristol. Mr. Sivary, a yutility man, the son
of a rcjjteetfcblr bunker of that city, plead guilty
at the bar to a charge of forging a bill ofexchan^e,
M'rneil with a fictitious name. The phmof “Cuil-
Iv” was wholly unexpected by the court, ntifl be-
tn-r delivered in a firm voice, produced a great
efi-’ct, particularly on the Judge. Lord (iidord,
vho changed colour and remained silent for some
-time. At length, looking earnestly in the pri
soner's face, lie enfjuiied if he had been imlueed
to nuke that plea by the hope of n pardon.-rife
replied that he had done it deliberately. His
lord®bip told him to consider a short time before
he determined to persevere in tb it plea—the pri

resources, with a elnirncterol eutintry tvefl

engineers, to tire construction of hridgfes,
roads, rail ways, and canals -with an as
pirin:; people, ardent for instruction and
thrifty in their pursuits, be contcnt to oc

tie irgia baa it amply within bur means to

is to the .Northern portion of tlie I’nited
Sic.tea Site run connect tlie waters nfthe
Mississippi with those of the Alatunmha,
or Savannah, without useendiug moun

for otre'third of the year.
Hv tin* snic, of onr public, domain, a nl

ol'eonstru ting turnpikes, canals and rail-
wavs in every portion of the state: the
education of the children of one It succes
sive generation, the dishnrsntrnt of the. ex
penses of government, a ml a consequent re-
liel'from taxation. Wo speak not of the
inereasein value of real estate, and of per
sonal labor, the sum of w hich would very
far exceed the w hole amount invested in
internal improvements. The faeW'uiesthnt
would be a (fin ileil to our, citizens by car
rying emnmeree to their very doors, in-
c re asm i; the demands for setup, and crea
ting them for other productions of the soil
now eotnparitivelv valueless, would for.
very far surpass tlieir individual interests
in tlio Lottery System. The bacon, (tour,
1:11m, &c. now imported into this state for
lunne consumption, amounting annually
to many hundred thousand dollars would
then be supplied by our own citizens of
tlie North West, and who now have no
outlet for -those articles.
There is nothing exaggerated in this
view of the advantages which would result
from sueli an application of the public do
main. ’Onr conclusions ore drawn from
the experience nl’ other states and coun
tries. Public improvements of this char
acter elsewhere, are for the most part de
pendent upon the resources of the people

been the l^oefifa nrrrflm" In imliv iduiils,

sition of that is the object of this nililri
W e arc of opinion that whilst there nre no
-11bstunli.il reasons tu justify a further rt
sort to lottery, there are numerous and
unanswerable arguments against their re
petition. This territory may he consider
ed the last of much value which we have
remaining to us. With this wc respectful
ly propose the accomplishment of highly
important and permanent improvements,
in which Georgia with all her resiutrers
and stale pride is far, very far, behind ma
ny of her younger ns We!! as elder sisters,
whose wealth bears no proportion to hers.
The state of Coiindflieut lias so applied

With these views, fellow-citizens, of mtr

The first sales of public lands in Florida
commenced on the Kith inst. at Tallahas
see, near which plnee the Township v;P
28,040 acres granted by Congress to Gen.
Lafayette, lias been recently chosen by hist
agent Col. M‘Kec, n tiininher of Congrcwt
from Alabamn, who tlius gave to the lands
in this quarter ti preference over all others.
The public lands offered for sale were mis
joining those of Lafayette and around tho
rieat of Government, but they sold low in
consequence of it singular instruction from,
the Treasury Department, directing tin*
Receiver of Public Monies for tlie District
to take in payment the notes of certain
batiks, iricludiirg those of Louisiana und.
Alabama, and excluding the notes of spe
cie paying Banks in South-Garolina nnd
Georgia! By this kind of inajingmnent,
[lersons who attended the sales with Geor
gia and .South-Corofiim notes were exclud
ed from purchasing, which lessened the
competition, find caused tire lands to sell
generally atilt* minimum price of a dollar
and a quarter an aero. Cm* Air. Southard,
the, acting Secretary of the Treasury* h*
ignorant e,f what, every body else knows,
that the Banks ol'tlris Stutc, with a singly
exception, nud those of South Carolina,
without exception) pay specie fin- their
notes ? That the Bank notesexeiuded by
his direction, nre taken in the Branches of
the F.S. flank at Charleston nnd Savan
nah, nnd are quite us good if .not I tetter,
than the notes of tlie Alabama nnd Lmiisir.
turn Banks ? IF he knows tliis, and in his
situation it would be unpardonable igno r
ranee not to know it, w lint motive could
have influenced him to issue an order so
prejudicial to tlie public interest, nnd ojic-
rnting partially and unjustly on the citi.-
zens of those states who were mqst likely
to purchase Florida binds ?
But suppose some convenience to tlio-
Treasury may be contemplated by the re
ception of certain notes at the Land Ofiicc-
and tlie rejection of others equally good.
H hy was not this made, known in time to al
low all who wished to buy, a fair chance of do
ing it! In Georgia und Carolina nothing
was easier than tlio conversion of Charles-,
ton, Augusta and Savannah bank notep
into the kind of money receivable nt the
Land Office—hut not so at Tallahassee-—
(ftcfL) 1 prvu nn»i * J, W J I
for changing the notes of hanks, which in
Charleston or Savannah were of equal
value. No notice was given of tlie kind of
money required at the land office until a,
day or two before tlie sale, and then, fo*
the first time, the gentlemen who had at-,
tended at Tallahassee with S. Carolina,
and Georgia notes, heard with surprise,
and indignation, that their money could
not lie received! The Receiver was hound.,
to obey his orders ; hut nt whose instance;
nnd for whose profit wore such instructi
ons given ? When exceptions of irnnk
notes, so little to have been expected, had
been determined on, why were not the.
rioFsr. of representatives.
