They appear to be perfectly sensible ot their

Wealth o f Georgia.—Since the 30th Sept.
181T, (says the Savannah Republican,) the valu
ation of exports has increased near four million
of dollars ; which we think, will place Georgia
the third state in the Union, on the list of amounts
of exports.
Messrs. Siinkins, Lowndes, Miller and Tucker
have been re-elected toCongress fromSouth-Caro-

A vessel has lately arrived at Xew-York, from
Havre with S400,U00 in specie, for the United
States Dank.
General Jackson.—We arc astonished at the
industrious anil indefatigable attempts which are
making to poison the public mind against tliis dis
tinguished and valuable officer. Eiery effort
which hostility could dictate, or ingenuity devise
have been putin requisition to give a premature
bias to the public mind, and to usurp, as it wee,
the public sentiment. “ The public have already
pronounced sentence on gen. Jackson”—with his
conduct “ the nation is dk-atisfied.”—Such are
the sweeping, unqualified assertions of his adver
saries. llut will the ingenious gentlemen be kind
enough to tell us from what standard of public
sentiment they have graduated these liberal con
clusions ? Are they drawn from the voice of the
people, or Irom their immediate representatives?
They are not—will be the unhesitating answer.
We had recently, many personal opportunities
ol consulting the public sentiment in some of the
middle and northwestern frontier counties of the
state—and we are confident we do not err wh
we say, that that sentiment was,'generally, an
unqualified approbation of the public conduit of
gen. Audiew Jackson. Public opinion in this
country, is intrinsic; it emanates from the peo
ple themselves—and is not the spurious bantling
ol ministerial corruption, but the legitimate off
spring of the elective franchise.
The ashes of antiquity too, have been raked up
to furnish parallels of infamy lor the ambitious
and despotic Jackson as he is called. His name
has been associated with a Nero’s—and the dark
shades of a C'tusar’s history have been thrown o-
ver his reputation ; such school-boy rant—sue!
ridiculous absurdity, however, is only calculate
to provoke the pleasantry

there, I proposed in the presence of a number of gen.ie-

ADMINISTRATOR'S S A L E.
JILL be sold at Madison, Morgan county,
IT on 1st Tuesday in January next, one half
lot of laud, it being part of lot No. 242, in the
4th district of Baldwin now Morgan county, ad
joining the lands of Warren Jordan and others,
situate and I . ingou the waters of Sugar creek,
nearly half of it cleared, under a fence, a com
fortable log liou»e, brick chimney, with all neces
sary out buildings, well calculated for a small
anxious that 1 should sell the land to Beasly, in order that
Beasly migle. make linn legal lilies, the consideration
which was offered not amouitting to what I asked for the
land. I bade them farewell and proceeded on my jour,
ney. Having gone some distance, ) was much surprised
at the appearance of Randolph and a mend of Ilia, who
were both armed with guns, and who having got before
me were posted ill the midst of the highway, waiting my
approach. 1 rode immediately up to Randolph, who en.
quired if 1 was armed. 1 replied in the negative, observ.
mg that 1 had nothing but a kn.fe, upon winch some con
versation ensued, and Randolph liav.ng lent Heasly tiie
sum at which 1 held my land it wa. offered me; I ac
cepted it, and having exeemed the necessary writings
departed; 1 presume that Randolph intended to intimi
date me, and by menaces to force me into measures; but
being baffled in the attempt, he acceded to my proposals.
I now expected to hear nothing more of Randolph until
my return to Virginia, when 1 intended to have an inves
tigation of i.is conduct towards me. But l lintl from the
address of the Poor Man’s Friend (which I certainly at-
tribute to his pen) that he is not reconc.led at the issue
of that affair, that iie hoped his malevolent publication
might have reached this section of the tin on nt time to
frustrate those designs, which lie says I entertained ; and
might stigmatize the man who never injured It.tn, and of
whom he laid no reason to complain. To Randolph I
will merely say, that all he can utter ag.iaist me cannot
injure me, and m language with widen he ib perhaps con
versant, 1 will say, ” cease viper, you gnaw s lilt; ’ for so
iiu- as 1 liave heard, Ins publication is regarded as the ef
fusion of a distempered mind, and has not been deemed
by many of my f iends worthy of a serious refutation.
Randolph probably supposed that it would injure me to
publish that 1 was once a Waggoner—he is, however,
much mistaken. 1 proudly acknowledge that fact t for it
is to that humble but certainly not dishonorable occtt.
pation, that I am indebted for many of the comforts and
comeu.enecs of l,fe which I possess, lie is, however,
mistaken in the supposition that 1 am a uegro trader. He
probably inferred that l was, from tiie circumstance of
my offering him g D'JU for a mulatto hoy I saw at his
house. He is uniortunately as much in the dark respect
ing the negro boy anti grey horse of winch he speaks—
they ate my own, and were bought widi money, as hon
estly obtained us that which was p .id Beasly for his land.
Tiie remainder of his confused publication is too unim
portant to merit a reply, anti 1 will close this communi
cation, winch 1 have been reluctantly compelled to length
en to loo great an extent, by adding that which Randolph
is alia.d or ashamed to add—my real name.
