none to which Georgia is a party, which would bo at all infracted by a cession of this territory;—we know of one with the nited States which is quite as solemn as any they have made with either white or red “ principalities or powers” and which zvill be grievously broken unless Georgia gets this land. Nay, we know of two— the other is the treaty made by Messrs. Camp bell & Merriwether, which must be carried into effect, or the United States will “ vio late (our) rights and the solemn obliga tions” imposed both by it, and the com pact of 1802. If the Government, act ing unwisely, has at any time entered into an obligation to become the guarantee of the Creek possession—it is neither our aulif nor our business. Turn then as she will, she must violate a treaty and not me. If she performs her duty to Georgia, site may be faithless to the Indians; if she adheres to the guarantee, she breaks her solemn and pligh ted faith to us. If such a dilemma exist, we are sorry for it—but we must injustice to ourselves, call for the fulfilment of the contract with us. Again, our enemies ar ray themselves against us because they would protect the great principles of Chris tianity lalas!—and we affect not piety— that so holy a theme should be invoked to the aid of so gross an aspersion. The party to which we belong, as has been repeatedly avowed, desires to obtain the land within our limits upon fair principles —to be just to the United States and to receive justice at their hands. That party if we understand any thing about it, is anxious to disseminate true political doctrines—to improve our ju risprudence—to sustain “ public educa tion”—to enlighten the people and protect their rights and interests. And shall we be told that we are running counter to the priii* ciples of Christianity ?—He who makes the assertion wants grace himself or is blame fully ignorant of the domestic politics of Georgia. But Governor Troup is the vio lent leader of a violent party. We deny it. The Governor has no malignity in his composition ; and in this respect is wholly unlike—if we may compare great things with small—the insolent writer of our text. He is energetic as a public officer--and mild and amiable in his private relations. He speaks strongly but “ he would sacrifice his life to maintain the Union but for a single day.” For the rest, let the party be polled --and it will be found that the great majori ty are opposed to violent men & violent mea sures. They are attached heart and soul to the Union, and would govern-- since in re publics the greater number must govern by addressing the understandings ami not the passions or feelings of their fellow-citi zens. We have perhaps enlarged too much —but it was incumbent upon u.» to repel a li bel, dark—mischievous and unjust. Executive Appointments. —ln pursuance of the resolution of the Committee of the late Legislature, on the case of Crowell’ Governor Troup has appointed Col. Seaborn holies, Col. Warren Jourdan, J. Torrance, Esq. and Col. William W. Williamson, to collect and receive evidence in the same, with power to send for persons and papers, &c. The last of these gentlemen is the Brother-in-law of General Clark. ffav, Georgian, ALTERKD NOTES, A discovery has been made which will perhaps, at least for the present, put a stop to the circulation of the numerous altered Bank notes with which the unwary have been de ceived for a time past. One of these notes, a one dollar bill of the Darien Bank, alter ed to a three, was offered at a store on Thursday night, by a person whose appear ance excited suspicion. He was followed, and discovered in the attempt to pass the bill, in another store ; in a third, he was sei zed by Mr. Ruckhill the Comity Consta ble, in the act of passing the same ))ill.— 'The offerer was immediately taken before Justice Barton, where he was identified as the same person who, the day previous, had attempted to pass an altered note of the Bank ot the State of South-Carolina. He was the same night accompanied to his House, by Justices Barton and Russel, where a search took place. Among the ar ticles found were the implements of his trade, consisting of pens, hair pencils, &,c. three vials of composition, supposed to ex tract the ink from the genuine notes, and fill them up; and several genuine one dol lar bills. The prisoner gave his name as James Smith, from Elizabeth City.— Smith, (which it is believed is not his real name) appears to be a foreigner, a Spaniard or Portuguese ; and, when apprehended, had on a straw hat turned up behind, light pan taloons, and a light striped jacket. He has been in the city, we understand, three aveeks. He was fully committed for trial in tne Superior Court, in Januaiy next, on a charge of altering a one dollar note of the Bank Stale of Georgia to five—a one dollar note of the Bank of Darien to three, and a one dollar note of the Bank of the state of South-Carolina to two. 'The means by which these bills were prepared, was by ex tracting the true denomination by a chemi cal preparation, and then altering them by means of a pen. The alterations, however, were easily discoverable on examination. [ lbid . -«*#•— The house of Samuel Amok, near Clinton, was struck by lightning on Saturday last, and Mrs. Cook instantly killed.

FOR the constitutionalist, j VlawvVmvg “ W.^iuinVceucea.” r NO. 1. 1 Mr. Editor, 1 Having seen in the Hamburg : Gazette, an article purporting to be “ Ya zoo Reminicences,” 1 was led by curiosity to give it a slight perusal, and I ton ml that ihe editor of that paper had given a pledge to expose, what he terms, “ that nefarious ■ transaction,” with a view of “ drawing in- J Terences” applicable to the present spirit of • the times in misstate. In a paper of a pos- I terior date however, lie turns over the task t to a new hand, who is so obliging as to fur ■ nish a “ communication” on the subject.— ; | Unfortunate we are as a stale, that we ! |sliould have such eagle eyed-critics to scan ! }our actions, and repeat to the astonished "j world, what the world would not in all pro fitability have ever dreamt of, had it not beenj ; ;for the warnings of these Mentors Sen. and 3 Jun’r. ' The writer appears to have been deep in die study of Bailey’s Dictionary, and to 1 '[have culled out from thence “all those names "l which virtuous and enlightened patriotism ’ so well knows how to bestow on delinquent representatives.”—Such essays, or rather ijsuch principles are not worthy of argument I I to confute. Raised by hypothesis, to at-j t tempt to counteract them by sound reason,’ would be equally absurd with the principles' 11 contradicted. They only deserve to be “Treated with a contemptuous ridicule, or, [with that jesting pleasantry with which we 1 ■ would listen or reply to the embittered t drgamings of madmen. e (irave and sententious in his style the au-I r thor strives to hide his want of knowledge B on the subject by bold assertions and well; ‘ rounded periods ; and evidently protract ‘ his remarks, for the purpose of having it supposed that “ the subject requires to be f deliberately gone into,”—What has produ ced this dreadful attack, or what circum f j stances at ihe present are so precisely simi lar as to require a “ detailed history” of a • transaction somewhat more than thirty years 1 j dead, or why—or when—or wherefore, we “jare yet to learn. Were I capable of giving s j them advice. I should tell them, that adepts 13 as they are in the political history of tieor • gia, in her “ financial destiny”—“ with • anecdotes relative to” and “ important - communications from “gentlemen of high 0 standing and respectability” and “ persons - well acquainted with the circumstances” • they had better burn their “ authentic docu ments” tear their “valuable MSS.” des - troy their “ Letters to the Editor” anil out 1 of compassion to their readers, give their • little wits a holiday. Hannibals as they are in the war of words, they should recollect, a writers “ facts” as well as a Generals men E will something become scarce—and as out e ofa large army we often find but few vete rans, so, from a great compilation of words. 1 however well they may think them attested, . lew are believed, and moreover for their en " tire instruction and amusement, I would tell > them that even Hannibal once said, afterall ’• Ids boasting and inveteracy, Ego Hannibal e peto pacern, which (hey may find, if they know where to look for it. It is but fair that all kinds of favors should he reciprocated ; therefore as “ I am well acquainted with the History of” Hamburg 1 and “ the Bank of Hamburg” so named, 3 known, called and denominated; and as I c am likewise acquainted “ with many inter - esting anecdotes relative thereto” and ex . pect “ important communications” contain ■ ing “ authentic documents, from “ gentle > men of high standing” and persons “well • acquainted with” the “ facts” (I do like to >■ quote thats the truth of it) I shall weeklv, 3 as I compile them, furnish you with such''a -history that it will astonish them and cou - found creation.—But of that hereafter— Quid sit futurum eras, fuge qncerere ■■ Citrpe diem, s (Vou Mr, Editor, who are acquainted with I such things, know that a history got up with 3 so many helps, must needs he amusing and 3 I bespeak your good humour on the occa-l • sion. This I say to you in parenthesis, bc-l . cause I wish there to be a good understand-! ■ ing between us.) 3 Genius may sometimes be an excuse fori • imprudence, but where it is unenlightened -by the smallest spark of ethcrial fire, what I apology can be made for it ? None—that is 1 - just what I say. But it appears I differ rna -3 terially from the writers in the Gazette afore- 1 ■ said. They think (I reason from facts, or 1 I as they say “draw inferences.” Draw in- ! 1 ferenc.es—Hogarth never did that ; they 1 ! “ draw inferences”—had they confined their 1 ■ genius to drawing him off boots or on night » caps, I had not minded it, but for them to 3 talk of “drawing inferences ” puts me quite '• I out of patience. Where did I leave off i oh—) They think that provided impudence 3 is supported by a bold exterior if I may so r call it, a da hittg, head long, hare-um-scare- i i um, daredevil kind of style, that if these I 1 appendages are not received as an apology,! I ' they should at least serve as a check. Now ' if we vcceive truth as the criterion of rogu-l - larity, I should say such an opinion is an h I omalous—(by the way that anomalous is anl l , awkward word, but as it is intended for the!' benefit of the writers in the Hamburg Ga--1 Izet’e alone—viz. on the Darien Bank—and ( I Yazoo, to tell the truth I wish to send them >| to their dictionary to discover its meaning ; i , I hid no other earthly purpose in using it, I 3 and besides as this number is merely intro j ductor>, 1 shall not mind its being a little 1 j desultory.) | •* There is” says Horace, “no joke in being malignant,” 1 beg leave to differ a little, yet I may be in the wrong. None have as yet accused Horace of wanting sense, except probably when he wrote his ode of Quanta laboras in charybdi Digne, peur, meliore Jtama. but let it pass as it may, if any dispute the fact that malignity may become a joke, and a very good one too, I beg leave for their better information to say tint the vvri , ters in the Gazette made a desperately cour ageous attack on the state bank.—lt was • the most laughable thing in the world. They sent an advance guard of remarks, supported by a corps de reserve of “ docu ments” against that of Darien : So capital . was the joke that even grave Aldermen ■, al i most split their sides at it: And now they i rake up ashes which have been lying thirty years to scatter on the four winds of heaven, |that all the earth may echo with merriments ; and this surely is the best thing that ever was.—They have certainly a great advan tage over many brothers of the quill, for they have the majority of laughers on their i side; not with, however, but at them. Yet i as long us people laugh the end is answered, and it can make but very little difference to ; them, provided they ever discover it, wheth ■ er it is at, or with. People may say what they please ; Watts’ I may descant, and Locke reason, but never theless Shaftesbury is right after all. " Ri dicule is the test of sense,” and I was never . more fully convinced of the correctness of ■ the principle than lam at present; there nis one thing more I should like to know, and I beg the Hamburg Gazette writers, as they jappear to be quite knowing on all subjects. .Ito answer particularly this,—-What is the . test of impudence? There are many things which are ra jther too insignificant to be angry with ; [we should be ashamed of ourselves should jwe get into a passion with a fly, or al low ourselves to burst w|th rage at a mus quitoe, however they might hum, buzz or bite. It is for this reason that so little no tice has been taken of the writers in the aforesaid Gazette, and they, because we have treated them with a silent contempt, imputing silence to fear, have grown so hold | that forbearance is no longer a virtue with regard to them. We have suffered them to make merry with the sound of our music so long, that they begin to think they may claim the entire fiddle in their own rights, t hey are right welcome to it, but I will make them pay the piper nevertheles.—Byron has said “My Poem’s an Kpic and isn>cantto bn ** Divided iii twelve books Pitch book containing’’ Os “ Rad and Black m;<rks” u full history, ' Hamburg, aijd JJank of Hamburg. Byron, did not write nor say the two last lines and to tell the truth, he never wrote too such lines in his life—but take the four lines as they speak my moaning exact ly. To speak positively, I shall divjde my discourse into twelve parts or more if I think proper; provided you Mr. Editor have no objection to my breaking a lance with them, and your paper as the lists of the tourna ment. “Be thou the Achilles of the lists, the Patroclus I.” We may in the course i of time teach them the wisdom of a remark made by one of Shakespears characters to his comrade “ I am sorry I beat thee” this we shall say adding the ballance of the sen tence byway of admonition “ but remem ber as long as thou livest to keep a good tongue in thy mouth.” Shakespeare I be lieve says hc&d, bpt were I to allow them heads, they would claim the brains in the bargain and I should object to that. To be sure it is in the first plac t a terrible tiling for one to be so outrageously attacked, but af ter one discovers, that one is fired at with j blank cartridges, why one don’t mind it so much. Their attack looked somewhat seri ous at its commencement. They had char- i ged heavily with powder, but having no ball, (they have plenty of lead if one may judge from their heaviness) they rolled up a most curious wad, thinking it would answer their ■ purpose every bit as well. To speak with out figure, as they had not truth to support c their charges they fumbled up a tale which (they thought Would look quite as well in j the distance; and they talked and talked . [and talked. It is true 1 acknowledge it, [some might have been alarmed at first, but , [they looked only at the appearance without listening to the voice. Had they read ' Ksop they would have known better. They [should have listened and not looked [vide I the Ass and the Lions skin,] For as soon as the voice was heard, the difference between / their braying and the expected roaring was so great, that the frighted animals laughed at their former fears, and to complete the v fable, I intend right gently to strip them of their skins: metaphorically speaking.— Heaven forbid that 1 should be so inhuman as to do it any other way. CHOAKKH. In celebrating (be arrival of General La- * faveti r. at Geneva, a Captain Parsons was Vj killed by the explosion of a swivel. The following are the particulars of the ac count : A number of villagers had gathered in the morning at Earll’s tavern, and hail several - times fired a small field piece, or swivel. Two individuals then loaded it extremely <t heavy, aid to complete the climax of impru " donee, rammed down oakum on the top of the load, driving it solid home wiih an axe ! One of them, it is said, attempted to fire it, but failed. At the instant, Capt. Parsons was returning across the street from his ■ breakfast to the Mill, knowing nothing of u I the manner in widen the piece was loaded, a i touched it off, and was killed in an instant, i Die piece of course barsted, and he was lite ' rally cut in two just above the hips, and , shockingly mangled. The statement in several of tho papers, (says the New-York Mercantile Advertiser) • that a trunk belonging to Gen. Lafayette, which was lost in the Ohio has been re covered, we are sorry to say is not correct. Hlarriefc, On ThnritlHV Evening last By the Rev. Thoa. Gardner, Mr. K)HN S.
