THE RKCOBPE1I.
axix.x.iixdo^vxx.X'B :
THURSDAY, .JULY 14,1831.
One of the objectiona made by the jiapers
of the Federal Clark party to Mr. Gilmer's re-
election is. that he recommended to the Legis
lature the reservation, for the benefit of tiie
State, of the gold mines in the Cherokee
Country. If in this there was any thing im
proper Mr. Lumpkin is equally culpable. In
his letter to Gov. Clark of March 31st 1S21,
resigning his Heat as a member of the Legisla
ture from Morgan county, Mr. Lumpkin says,—
“In making disposition of the late acquired
territory, as a member of the Legislature I
should feel myself under obligations paramount
to every other consideration, to set apart and
apply a sufficient portion of the lands, or raise
funds therefrom, by laying a higher price up
on the grants of the fortunate drawers of good
lands, adequate to the establishment of a per
manent fund for the mutual benefit of the whole
people of Georgia, with a view to carry into
effect the great and important objects of Inter
nal Improvement and Free Schools.” This
policy, of reserving for public uses a portion
of the lands subject to the disposition of the
Legislature, whether correct or not, is advocat
ed equally by Mr. Lumpkin and Mr. Gilmer.
Those who think the latter censurable for sue!
an expression of opinion, most admit that
the former is likewise so ; and it but illy be
comes tiie Federal-dark party to make an ob
jection to Mr. Gtimer, which applies with qi iti

We publish with unfeigned satisfaction, letters
from Wnrstiw . bringing intelligence from the Pn
lish armies so late as (o the 16th :—only 11 days
old. Those communicate a gallant and impor
fruit exploit of the Patriot General Chrzanowski,
who was despatched by (he eommander-tn-Chief
with a corps of 8,000 men to disturb the left flank
and rear of the t'nssian army, an expedition into
Yolhynta. which was conducted with marvellous
intrepidity and success, this brave officer bursting
through successive lines of Russian posts, heating
the enemy in several engagements, and though in
the midst of 24,000 Russians, under Generals
Kreiitz arid Witt, rapturing 800 prisoners, with
which lie entered the fortress of Zamosc in tri
umph. The main object of this wail-conceived
and brilliant enterprise was to substitute a new
force in Voihynia for that which, since the misfor
tunes nf Genere.l Dtvcrnirki, lias been withdrawn
from the patriot cause, by the more than dubious
unfriendliness of Austria towards the Polish liber
ties. Tiie new Cbieftan bus thus proved himself
at the outset a worthy sueceesor to the brave and
skillful Ihvernicki; though we trust he is not des
tined to experience the some vicissitude of war
or tiie same treachery from pretended neutrals.

—:ooooo:—
Tlu Federal-Clark parJy assert, that they
put Mr. Gilmer into office—and that, in con
sequence of this, they had a right to expect
from him many “ crumbs of comfort,” in the
shape of Executive appointments, which they
complain were not given to them, to the ex
tent of their expectations ! Ha ! ha ! ha I—
This is really a gooil joko. Did they not
know, that where extravagant expectations are
formed, (as they probably wore in this ease)
nothing iH more common than disappoint
ment ? Who encouraged the Federal-Clark
party to cherish such high expectations ? We
risk nothing in saying that Mr. Gilmer did
not—he must have believed that the prefer
ence given to him by his political opponents
was the result of jninriple and not of interested
views—that they voted for him because they
believed biro best qualified to (Recharge the
duties of Chief Magistrate, and not from sin
ister motives. He never could have imagined
that their chief, if not sole, object, was to
get offices ! The great body of their party-
know nothing of this. Tt was the “Chiefs
and Head-men” only (who expected to profit
by their management,) that were in the secret.
Tt is not, however, true, that Mr. Gilmer owed
his election exclusively to the Federal-Clark
party. He had probably a larger number of
votes of his own party. Nor is it true that his
political opponents have been excluded from
participating in the offices within the gift of
the Executive. The Proprietor of the Fede
ral-Ciark paper himself (the very one which
makes this charge !) holds an office conferred
on him by Governor Gilmer! It will not be
denied that offices should be given to those
who are best qualified to fill them ; and the
exercise of a little charity might induce file
supposition, that on this principle the Govern
or has acted in making appointments. If
gentlemen of the Federal-Clark party have
not in most instances been appointed, it is
presumable they were not thought to be best
qualified. Every one who wants office cannot
he gratified ; nor is every one quolifed for of
fice who thinks himself to be so. Tiie idea
ot distributing offices to each politiool party
in proportion to its numbers, without regard
to qualifications, is as ridiculous as the notion
that those who vote for a Governor should be
the special objects of his favor and patronage.
The Federal Clark paper can perhaps tell
ns how liberal its party has been in giving of
fice to political opponents—how many Troup
men were allowed to hold office when they
had the poxver in 1325 ? How many, of poli
ties different from his own, did Gov” Clark ap
point ? And whether the Federal Clark party,
, if successful in the appproaching cleclion, in
tend to make no political distinction in se
lections of persons for office ?
ham’s Reply is contained in the following ex-
tracts, which we copy from it:

Tiie difficulties are great, but they are not insur

Maidenly Manoeuvres.—I find in the notes
of my journal ot the evening of that day’s ad
ventures’, a memorandum of a curious practice
among the Athenian maidens, when they be
come anxious to get husbands. S)r. the first
evening of the new moon, they jwjt a little ho
ney, a little salt, and a piece of bread on a
plate, which they leave at a particular spot on
the cast bault of the Illisus, near the Stadium
and muttering some ancient words, to the ef
fect that may send them a handsome young
man, return home and long for the fulfilment
of the charm. On mentioning the circum
stance to the travellers, oue of them-informed
me, that above the spot where these offerings
are made, a statue of Venus, according to l’au-
sanias formerly stood. It is, therefore, highly
probable, that what is now a superstitious, was
anciently a religious rite.—From Gall's Lift
