more moved by allurement, or hostility,-
than the “ everlasting rocks” by billows

Fellow Citizens, the events of that aw
ful period when the assassin’s dagger was
^..frequently used for removing our
worthiest men, and when no reputatiou
was exempt from calumnious accusation,
have passed away. They flicker before
our eyes, without a distinct vision : we
hear of them, from our departing Fathers,
without getting a definite impression. To
think of the vices of those who have pre
ceded us, will arouse and redouble our
detestation for villainy—to meditate on
their virtues, will animate us to laudable
exertion, and cheer us in the path of rec
titude. Such has been the experience of
our present virtuous Chief Magistrate.—
Too young to be an actor in these trying
times, from the narrations of those who
did net, and from whnt his boyhood sbw,
he acquired a zeal for the rights of Geor
gia, and an enmity to those who robbed
her, which will perish only with existence.
To this cause, trace his invariable, consis
tent, and lofty opposition to the Yuzoo
claimants in 'Congress—to it trace his
manner in his recent correspondence with
the President and his officers—to it trace
his determination to maintain at all haz
ards, the inalienable rights you possess to
your oln.ro, and to your Indian territory !
Jt is -veil for us wo have this man at the
helm. Let the speculators and puifcha
eers abuse him—let the hypocrisy of the
day Compare him to the Hartford Conven-
tionists—let “major genetals command
ing,” “ clerks of bureau,” and “ Indian
agents” insolently assail him, and, in re
turn he supplicated to “ eat, drink and be
merry" at the tables of the disaffected—
let him be denounced as madman and foul
—hejwill firmly, honestly, and wisely, ad
here to the Bark of State, and ultimately
confound your foes!
My Countrymen, we have reason to
continue in office him, who now serves ns
faithfully. Ilis enemies belie him: he

Report of the Medical Society of that city,
on the subject of tho prevalence of the vari

were read.
A letter from S. B. Parkman, to the
Mayor, was read, informing him that he
was contracting with Ephraim Force, of
New-York, for four ongiuos, with apparo-
tus, hose, &c. complete. The cost of each
would be $780, and the hose 87J ccut6 per
foot—the whole cost delivered on board a

“ A letter from the respectable house of

that 29 sail of French vessels of war were
cruising off St. Jago do Cuba, and that
they hod landed 5000 men at Cumberland
Harbor.
This news has put us all on the alert—
The General is taking every measure to
raise recruits. Carthagena is at present
garrisoned by 2000 men, and the provinces
of Cnrihngena and Santa Martha have a
regular militia of 10.000, therefore, although
taking every precautionary measure, we
have nothing to fear from such a force,
even if intended against us, Which I much were

FROM ONE or THE EDITORS
We left Saratoga nn tho 12th August ;
dined at Bnllston, where we found a great
deal of company, and arrived at Schenectady
in the evening, in time for the Utica Canal
Boat. We had merely tiino to
Schenectady from i he roof of the houso. W e
wero informed that the Canal had much
injured it, as goods formerly bought there
by the facility of transportation, wero now
got in Albany. Wo left this place at 7
o’clock in a large and commodious Canal

tfere followed by Indian boys and girls, who
(vouli keep up with us for a mile to obtain a
cent hold out to them, which they would
receive without a, word, nor would they
answer when spoken to. A few miles
further on, we passed a number of rough
lughouaes with elsy cliimnies, which be
came more common as we advanced west.
After passing a great many handsome and
lory flourishing villages, most of which,
having canals communicating with tho prin-
pal one; we arrived at Auburn about 12
at night, to sleep. This was the most un
comfortable day’s travel 1 have had, the day
being warm, stage crowded, roads over
high hills, and carrying thu mail, stopping
each two miles at a Post Office, and mak
ing but 76 miles in 20 hours.
Auburn is a large village containing
1500 inhabitants and a number of niilis.uian-
ufaclnrieB, &c. to which it owes all its im
portance. We saw nothing of it, as we
roused at 3 o’clock to pursue our
journey. There has never been so much
travelling known in this state as at this
season, being one third to a half inure than
at any previous time. At Auburn we
could with difficulty get a bed and when we
did, wero forced to sleep double and a warm
night it wns. Every Stage, Steam-Boat,
and Canal beat that I have been in, has
boon crowded. At half past three, A. M.
on Tuesday, 16th, wo left Auburn for Ca-
nundnigna. Nine miles on. we came to
Cayuga Lake, a handsome sheet of water
38 miles long and from 4 j to a wide. There
was but little appearance of trade upon it,
as we discovered but two or three boats.—
We crossed the end of it. on a bridge 1 j
miles long. A few miles further on is W».
terloo. a thriving village on Seneca River,
containing in 1816, one hou-m, now upwards
of one hundred and twenty-five, and seven
hundred inhabitants, some of the buildings
are superior. Twenty-two miles from Au
burn, we arrived at the queen of all villa
ges—the beautiful one of Geneva, on the
Seneca Lake, around ono end of which we
had a delightful drive in reaching it. It is
built on the side of a hill on tho northward
of the like and makes a beautiful appear
anco from the opposite side. It contains
v,ew about 350 houses and 2000 inhabitants; it
has many very handsome buildings, and has
jho appearance of doing a great deal of ba-
business. The Lake is 45 miles long, and
is a beautiful pipce of water. A Canal ia

130 miles. Canandaigua is a handsome

is a good deal of competition between the
passage packet boats and the regular pnc.
ket line freight boats which also have ac
commodations for passengers, the latter
travelling as fast and sometimes faster,
and of course injuring the banks as much.
It was said by a person attached to a pas
sage boat, that the actual cause of the rise
of toil on the passage boats, was that
one of the commissioners for regulating
toll, &c. was concerned in a line of freight
boqts. Just before reaching Utica, we pass
ed the Littlo Falls, where for some distince
the canal is cut through the solid rock, and
where there are five locks in succession, al
together a most stupendous work. There is
a side cut to the village of Little Falls, car
ried over the river on a superb acqueduct
of cut stone. We arrived at Utica, about
11 o'clock at night on the 13th inst. amidst
a severe storm of rain, which lasted all
night. Utica ia a considerable town and
does a vast deal ofbusinesss. There is a
constant crowd of Canal boats passing to
and fro with freight and passengers, and
mqny stages arriving and departing contin
ually. On Monday, 15th, at 4 A. M. we
started in the stage for Canandaigua—17
miles from Utica, where we breakfasted-
ducp feeling which pervaded the communi
ty on this interesting occasion.
At an early hour, the Corps of Murines,
the Volunteer Companies of the Frst Bri
gade of the District, and those of the Alex
amlrin Brigade, were on the ground desig
nated on the Resident’s Square, where they
were joined by Gov. Spi igg’s and Cupt.
Dunlop’s troops of Cavalry from the Slate
of Maryland; the whole formed and in wait
ing to take up the escort.
The Board of Aldermen and the Common
Councils of, the three cities of the District,
headed by their respective Mayors, entered
the President’s House about half past ole-
viri o’clock- The Marshalls of the day
had assembled there a short time previous.
The farewell addresses of those several
Municipal Bodies, having been communica
ted to the General by a messenger, about
12 o’clock they were all summoned to tho
Hall, and having been arranged in a circle
by the Marshals, the President of the Uni
ted Staten appeared bofore the entrance
which leads to the Drawing Room, suppor
ted nn each side by the Heads of Depart
ments and Officers, Civil and Military:
Bavoral Members of Congress, at present
in the District, and other distinguished ci
lizima, also, farmed a part of this group—
The company, having waited some minutes
in silence, a Bide door was opened, and
Gen. Lafayette entered the Hall, attended
by tho Marshal of the District, and one of
the Sons of the President, and presented
himself in the vacant space within tho cir
cle, and at a suitable distance, to receive,
the Address.ofthe President. Mr Adams,
then, with much dignity, but with evident
achieve our doliVerence. The expression
which now beamed from the lace of this ex
alted man was of the finest and most touch
ing kind. The hero wus lost in the father
anil the friend : dignity melted into subdu
ed affection, and the friend of Washington
seemed to linger with a mnurnfnl delight
among lhe sous of his adopted country.—
A considerable period wns then occupied
in conversing with various individuals,
while refreshments were presented lu the
company. The moment of departure at
length arrived, and, having onec more
pressed the hand of Mr. Ailnms, lie enter
ed the Buruuche, accompanied by tiie tie
cretarics of State, of the Treasury, and
of the Navy.
The carriage of tho General, preceded
hy the Cavalry, the Marine Corps, and
Cnpt. Edwards’ Rifle Corps, and followed
by tho carringea containing the Corporate
authorities of the cities of the District, and
numerous military and high civil officers of
the Government, moved forward followed
by.the remaining Military Companies. In
taking up the escort, tile whole column
moved through the Court in front of the
President’s Mansion, aud paid him the pas
sing salute, as lie stood in front to receive
it. The whulo sceue—the peals of artil
lery, the animating sounds of numerous
military bands, the presence of tho vast
concourse of people, and the occasion that
assembled them, altogether produced e-
mulioua not easily described, hut which
every Americnn will readily conceive.

on foot around that of the General. The
whole m Hilary body then passed him in
review, as he stood in the barouche of the
President, attended by the Secretaries of
Stale, ofthe Treasury, and ofthe Navy.—
After the review, the General proceeded to
the steam vessel, under a salute of nrtille
ry. surrounded by as many citizent, all ea

the largo wharf; and, at four o'clock, mis

followed by the blessings of every patriotic
heart tliut lives on it.
As the vessel moved off, and for a short
time nller. the deepest silence was observed
by the whole of the vast multitude that
lined the shore. Tho feeling that pervad
ed them Was that, of children bidding n tiua
farewell to a venerated parent. The whole
remained gn/.ing after' ihc retiring vessel,
until she had passed GreonleaHPs Point,
where ano'her salnte repealed the valedic
tory sounds of respect, nnd these again
were not long after echoed by the heavy
goes of Fort Washington, ami reminded us
ofthe rapidity with which this beneftetor
aud friend of our country was burne from it.
The General was nreompauied to the
Brandywine by the Secretary ofthe Navy,
tiifl Mayors of the three cities ofthe Dis
trict, the Commsnder-in-Ghiof of tho Ar
my, the Generals ofthe Militia of the Dis
trict, Com. Bainbridge. Mr. Cnstis, of Ar
lington, and several other gentlemen.
We to day conclude the publication of
the ofii.-inl documents from Georgia. The
great length of them must excuse the ab
sence of more interesting matter ; we could
not, in justice to our country subscribers,
most of whom have nn means of access to
other papers, exclude them. Tho corres
pondence between Gov. Troup and the go
vernment of the United States, and its a-
gents, has probably closed; and unless a
survey ofthe land shall be attempted, here
the matter will probably rest until the ses
sion of Congress. We feel satisfied that
no such attempt will be made. As the
President seems determined tu exorcise the
'means, which tho people surely did not put
in his hands, to prevent the survey, the Ex
ecutive of Georgia call now rctiro from the
conLust with honour,
The subject of the Treaty, and tho mat
ters growing out ofit, will probably make
tho ensuing session of Congress more im
portant than any antecedent one. Thpn
will bo tho time for the Stale* to determine
if this is a consolidated or a confederate
government. The acts ofthe present and
last administrations have had a direct ten
dency to increase the powers ofthe general
government, and abridge those of tho res
pective states ; and should tho Representa
tives of the people countenance the petty
agents ofthe President in insulting the Ex
ecutive of an independent state, it will be
another great point gained by the advo
cates of consolidation, and in a few short
years onr state legislatures will exist scarce
ly in idea. Is it because the people so lit
tle understand the nature of a ennsolida
ted government, that they look on such
dangerous measures with so much indiffer
ence ? Is it bo reasonable to snppose, that
in a government of this (kind, the small
and frontier states can derive an equal
- Sinned in

must be our apology for any repetition!, dm
may occur.
The agreement between thu U. S. ml I
Georgia in 1892, was an explicit bargain f
and sales, founded upon a valuable ct
deration on both sides. The fait i;,u |
Georgia hue made this bargain, and iliii»»:,
like Virginia, give auiay bur western U«J.,
lias been brniigh into this discussion for Ilia
purpose of adding to lhe prejudices of the
people against that stele, iior conduct lm I
been represented as sordid aud selli-lt. If
it were at all pertinent to the subject, Iw
conduct in this respect might be easily slioua
to be prudent anil wise. The “ gluronsel- [
ample" of Virginia in voluntarily giving a-1
way a mtignilicicnt empire, will, in future f
ages, be considered with astoiiisliment mil I
incredulity, aa a consummate act of Ml. I
By it she deprived herself of the meuui of |
promptly provid ..g for her wur worn un
ifiers ol the Revolution. The reservalM I
she mudenre exhausted; & difficulties inn! |
been springing up, year after year to pre-
vent t he vetornn or his children from getti g I
what was promised him, until at last, the I
door is closed upon him by limitations pre f
scribed in the acts of Congress. The pro-J
cecils of tho lands thus prodigally givcl
nway have been immense in amount. Tins!
hovo sided in paying tho expense of tun I
wars; in building and maintaining a galiull
Navy ; in erecting fortifications and defer I
ees along the whole of our truntiers, bud I
inland and maritime; and in paying del
other expenses of the Union. From It* I
source immense stuns are yet to bo rernt t [
into the National Treasury, to he applwl
nccordingftojthe schemes of a dominant pit-
ty, in culling reads nnd canals in mh |
states. Hud Virginia retained the nww-
shin over tho soil ot her western leiraaji I
anil have even parted with the civil, trie f
inal and political jurisdiction, ivhnt |

Schools and Colleges, in every part ol«
stale. Her people would be exempt"
taxation, and the revenues of her
work* would be more than sufficient to nM
all her expenditures, in all time f« co/iie.
Because Georgia hasj been mote discreet,
she is now abused nnd charged with " :j I
huckstering spirit.” But Id us look to Id I
ngreoments with the U ; 8. for the sale* “I I
her western lauds, and see how this clicrge |
is sustained.
By the most monstrous fraud that n't 1
disgraced the government ol a civilil-s I
