To the Honorable Members oj the
Legijlature and Citizens oj the
State of Georgia .
THE time now approaches which calls for
your attendance for thedifpatch of pu
blic bufmefs; for so eJTeiiti.il and neceiTary a
pttrpofe the community slitter themfclves
they (hail be more fuccefsful than m August
and November, when some of yoii gave fucli
glaring proofs of tardiness, and a disinclina
tion to comply with the Governor’s Procla
mations. Among ft the many important mat
tcis which may come under your mature de
liberation, I presume the Paper Medium will
be one ; in considering the steps necessary to
be taken, I hope those will not be gratified in
their wishes who appear so desirous to have
the Tender taken oif---men who were so ex
tremely warm in having this money emitted,
urging the amazing advantages that would re
sult to this country—men, in-frft, who were
fathers of the Bill. But it can easily be seen,
it was merely to anfwcr some of their diabo
lical purposes. It i 3 really extraordinary that
the good people of this country do not make
nicer diminutions; I (hou*d luppofc it very
easy to fclect, out of such a number, men who
possess more flability, upriglitnefs, and Icfs
venality. It is very certain, had-there been
a Houle in August last, the taking of the
Tender would have been infilled on, by some
of those very men who are mentioned above.
What are the private citizens to trust to when
the public faith is thus violated ?' The amaz
ing depreciated state this money is now in, is,
I conceive, by no means the fault of the peo
ple. It is clearly the fault of those who pas
. fed the Bill, and who promised in the molt
facrcd manner a fund for redeeming this mo
ney. If this mode was found impracticable,
adopt another; a very easy one indeed---
Dcftroy patt immediately, and call the balance
in by taxes. This will dilappoint the I'elnfh
and defigtiing, who wish the Tender taken of,
and do justice to those who put such confidence
in the public, as to dispose of their property
for it. Permit me, my Fellow Citizens, to
make a few obfcrvatious---the time draw-s
near for the new election-—let me entreat
you to be more particular than formerly
lir.iy. rhufp men who von thinte «.mM v.
attentive to the Governor’s Proclamations at
so iutcrcfiing a period.
