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. A Friend to the Public. Run away from the Jubferiber , the following Negroes, viz.
