lias occurred to us that, after llie drawing is com-
piled, a List may he published obviating all the
iaconvonisnoei found to exist in the preseut
ones. This >* the plan of it :—
We will begin with tbe Third Section, oy Troup
County, that being the molt important—take the
fir,i district in that Section, and arrange the lots
'm mat district in numerical order, front one to
the last number, describing the quu'.ity of the land,
and specifying by whom it was drawn, and his
,,l aC e of residence. Wu will then pass to the
Second nidricl of that Section, und give the same
information with regard fo it, and So on, through
all tlie Sections, Districts ami Lots. A List ar
ranged on this plan, ifscems to as, must present
away facilities and advantages to the.public.
his obvious to every one, that such a work
cannot be commenced before the completion of
the drawing. If sufficient encouragement is of-
fared, it will then he published wifli all possible
expedition, and sent by mail, iu sheets, to the
subscribers. ,. .

instances) $ 3, 00
for any Section, separately, (in ad- i

P.mlot) deserves to he named first, as
unavalle’d by hi* colleague..* in talents
and audacity'. He was a man of gigantic
izo, and possessed a voice of thunder.
His counlt nance was that of an Ogre on
the shoulders of a Hercules. Hu wg*
as fond of the . pleasures of vice as ol
ihe practice of cruelty ; aod it was said
• here were times when he become nu
raunized amidst his debauchery, laughed
at the terror which his furious decla
mations excited, and might approach
ed with safely, like the Maelstrom lit
lKa tm-n r.f liile. His Droriision wa* in
dulged to an extent hazardous to his pc-

vorites toot much above their own de

and by acts of cunning and hypocrisy,
which weigh more with the multitude
■than the word* of eloquence, or the er-
Hfiinsut* of wisdom. The people listen
ed as to their £icero, when ho twanged
out his apostrophe* of Pnuvre Peujyle,
Etuple vertuct! aod hastened to execute
hatever canto recommended by such
honied phrases, though devised by the
worst of meu for Ihe worst and most in
human of purpose*.
Vanity was RobespierTe's ruling pas
sion, and though his countenance was
the image of his mind, he Wab vain even
of bis personal appearance, and never
adopted the external habits of a sans
culotte. Amongst his fellow jacobins,
he was distinguished by the nicety with
ajueh his hair was arranged and pow
dered ; and the neatness of hi* dress
was carefully attended to, so as to.couo-
ttti'bfcfwce, IT poBnihl”, t)ie vulgarity n '
Iks person. His uparfmeutn, ibuugii
smtdl, were elegant, and vanity bad filled
theta with representation* of the occu
pant. Rebespierre’s picture at length
litttig in one place, his miniature in a
nother, his bunt occupied a piche, and
on the table we.re disposed a few me
dallions exhibiting his head in profile.
Tlte vanity which all this indicated, was
of the coldest and most selfish charuc-
er, being such as considers neglect as
insult, and receives homage merely as a
tribute ; go that, while praise is receiv
ed without gratitude, it is withheld at
•he risk of mortal hate. Self-love ol
this dangerous character is closely allied
with envy, and Robespierre was one of
the most envious and vindictive men
that etler lived. He never was known
io phrdon any opposition, affront, 01
van rivalry ; and to be markr.d in his
tablets on such an account, was a *ure,
though perhaps not an iminodiale sen
tence of death. Daoton was a herb,
compared with this cold calculating
creeping miscreant ; for his passions,
1 hough exaggerated, had at least soon
■ouch of humanity, and his brutal feroci-
! v was supported by brutal courage.'—
Robespierre was a coward,, who signed
leath warrants with a hand that shock,
though his heart was relentless. He
possessed no passions on which to charge
nis crimes j they were perpetraled 10
bold blood, and upon mature delibprati-
tnbufes of mortal men ; the tnty Af Ro
bespierre, and the inikacUvt. blood-
thirslineM of iffarat, were tt# proper
ties of fiends. Da«ton, like tfc* huge
*crpent called tke Boa, might be «p-
proached with • degree of adh^ «rh«n
anrged with prey—but the appetite 6f

Marat, t|»e third of this infernal Irl- ge nce. Our idiormant. Col. Bel), of
umvtraie, had attracted the attention of
lie lower orders, by the violence of bis
sentiments in the journal, which he con
ducted from the commenc.ment of the
Revolution, upon such principles that it
siv^ 1 the * ca< ^ ' n f° rwart * in g ** 9 succes-
tions tbe bowl ol
a blood hound for murder; or, if a
wolf could have written a journal, the
gaunt and famished wretch could no.
have ravened more eagerly for slaugh
ter. It was blood which was Marat’s
constant demand, nut in drops from the
breast of an individual, not in puny
streams from the slaughter of families,
but blood in the profusion of an ocean.
Hia usual calculation of the heads which
he demanded amounted to two hundred
and sixty thoorand ; and though he
aonpitimes,raised‘t as high as three hun
dred thousand, it never fell beneath the
smaller number. It may be hoped, and,
for the honour of human nature we are
inclined to believe, there was a touch
of insanity ip this unnatural s.traio of fe
rocity ; and the wild and squalid fea
tures of the wretch appear to have inti
mated a degree of alienation of mind.—
Marat was, like Robespierre, a coward.
Repeatedly denounced in the Assembly,
tie skulked instead of defending himself,
and lay concealed in some obsfcure gpir-
ret or ccllgr among his cutthroats, un
til a storm appeared, when, like a bird
of ill omen, his death screech was again
heard. Such was the strange and fatal
triumvirate, in which the fume degree
of ctnnibal cruelty existed under differ
ent aspects. Danton murdered to glut
his 'rage ; Robes|derre, to aveDge his
injured vanity, or to remove a rival
u lioin he em;- > . 1 »u -
instinctive love of blood, which induce*
wolf to continue? his ravage of the
llofk* Iringaftarhis hunger is appeased.”
' “ Danton despised Robespierre for
his cowardice, Robespierre feared the
ferocious audacity'ol Danton j and with
him to fear * ns to hate—and to hate
waft— when the htfar arrived—to de
stroy. Tltdy differed, iff their ideas a!
so of tbe mode of exercising their terri.-
bt? system of government. Danton had
often in his mouth the sentence of Ma
ctuavel, that when it becomes necessa
ry Jo she4 blond, a single great mas-sa-
ere has ti more dreadful effect than a se
ries of successive executions. Kobes;
piet/e, on the contrary, preferred the
la ter prdcesg as the best way of sustain
ing the reifn of terror. The appetite
of Marat could not bo satiated but bj 1
combining both modes of murder 1 . Loth
