j CO VSTITU TIOIVALIST. AUGUSTA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1825. While our enemies have been prodigal zf, of abuse towards Governor Troup, and I have elevated his opponent General Clarke * to the stars, we have disdained to follow an example which is dictated by elcctioneer ing rage, unrestrained by good feeling or correct principle. We have never contend ed that our favorite Candidate was godlike and above all imputation of error—but we 1 insist, and we trust with truth, that he. is a f Patriot, a man of extensive information and a gentleman, and sustaining this character,| we ask if he is not more worthy of the pat ronage of the good people of the State than Gen. Clarke ? We may be told of the skirmishes of the latter with the Indians, v < and we know how far a little military fame will go towards acquiring popularity in these peace-loving times. To have heardj the whizzing of a few bullets on the field of battle, bestows often-times instantane ously, more renown than a whole life of philosophical or patriotic virtue can acquire. Yet we would not decry the merit of the aoldier, but only claim for others an equal share of praise when they equally or more deserve it. If Clarke fought the Indians for us, has not Troup been, in even a supe | j rior degree, serviceable to the country, in the high stations and important offices to which he has so often been called by his dis cerning fellow-citizens. But there are o ther points of contrast which claim atten tion. General Clarke, it has been assert ed, and we have not seen it denied, was concerned in the Yazoo speculation.—Go vernor Troup has been the active and vigi lant opponent of that widely spread and shameful fraud. Gen. Clarke when in office, was lavish of the public money. Gov. Troup has been sparing and economi cal. Gov. Troup whatever may be the vio lence of his zeal writes his own messages! and letters, and we are informed by those 1 who know the extent of Gen. Clarke’s li terary attainments, that his public docu ments from “ the Book” down to his Le gislative messages, are by another hand than his own. However, upon this latter we lay no stress—not to have received an educa tion is a misfortune rather than a fault— but caeteris paribus, if all things else were equal between Clarke and Troup, and the latter being possessed of better talents] should be preferred for an office, requiring! the constant exercise of high attainments.' We know that the clamor is loud against the Governor’s intemperate zeal as it is called ; but will any man remember the! manner in which the doors of the Secreta-) ry of States’ office were shut in the face of; Hammond, and then have brass enough up on his forehead to preach to us about the mild and modest virtues of Gen. Clarke. We might extend our article but we have no gratification in pursuing the comparison,! nor indeed is there a necessity. The elec-i <,tion ot Troup is looked upon as certain by those who have better jugdment in this mat ter, than ourselves. fOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. Mr. Bunge, CAN any one of your nu merous readers according to the principles of the Constitution, and established prac tice of the Government of the United States maintain the proposition, that it is compe tent for the chief magistrate of a State, to inteidiet an officer of the General Govern ment from communicating in his official ca pacity v/hh the Executive Department of such State?— -As that proposition has been / at Wilkes Superior Court, by a member of each branch of the National Le gislature, it seems to be matter worthy of the consideration of the people. BURKE. FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. Mr. Editor, . has long been a maxim a mong the ignorant, and such as are deter mined to remain so, that newspaper discus sion on subjects not connected with the public weal, has a tendency to disturb the tranquihty of society, without remunerat es valuabie information or lasting benefits. To such bigots as enter tai.n tb ' s opinion, [ beg leave to PENDLPTIm ls r major Gener al S Edm U nd PENDLETON Games, addressed (and perhaps sent—l dont know) to Governor Troup, bearing date the i6th Augusi inst. and published in the newspapers. 1 would refer them to this letter for much valuable information. For, without it, how should •we ever have known that Governor Troup 5 was not a German Prince ? What other authority have we, which goes to establish . the fact that Gen. Edmund PENDLETON Gaines is not a Turk? And what is still . more important that he is a native of Vir ginia ; that he has been adopted by Ten nessee, and that he is really— yes, posilive [ ly an officer of the United States, and more yet, that Georgia ; aye, even the State of 1 Georgia is one of these United States ? : Who among your whole race of ignoramus i es, could have learned all (his in any other way ? No one, I venture to assert, but for General Gaines’ excessive generosity, you' never could have obtained this invaluable information. The General in the plenitude i of his liberal charity intimates too thgt the , Constitution of the United States was forro t ed and adopted in the year 1787, and in the month of September too—dins might long have remained a profound secret but for the >]letter in question. Upon the whole, that letter abounds with so much information, , historical, biographical and political, that I ( am constrained to suggest the propriety of ' having it neatly printed on strong paper and ’ a large type, and stuck up in lieu of the i fringed napkins under every Comb-case in i the State of Georgia, whereby our children ijmay not only become acquainted with all ithe important matters, therein contained, but with fact that the General’s given name ■ (thank to the prophetic foresight of Ids dad F dy) is EDMUND PENDLETON ! ! , The writer of this article is not a citizen ,of Georgia—but a traveller—a looker-on ; ' and has no anxiety on the subject of its pub • lication. He sends it, with much indiffer ! ence as to its fate. } Augusta, 27th Aug. 1825. FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. I _ • Mr. Editor, THEY say that the Guvenor, . as what used to be lected by the Gineral Sembly, is to be lected this year by (he pe ple, and I beleve its about making a grate fuss up with us. We poor men without 5 much edecation dont know what to do. . Some big men say that we ought to vote for . Clark, becase he has been knowing to the . ways of the Ingins all his life, and Troup dont know how to work era ; and they say Troup is mad, for one Bowen altho’ he was . a smart man and could write fine things was . mad and nobody knowd it for a long time. One old man up with us says it will be a i much longer time before they know that h Troup is mad. And I thought this old man i 1 pined era up prutty closely in some things ; for, says he you dont remember all things, you forgit that Clark give away more than twemy thousand dollers of your money without any thority—that he was peached by the Gineral Sembly for taking away Cur nel Hammons office from him ami giving it to one of his frens. You forgit that in one year Troup spent forty odd thousand dol lers less of the contiguous fund than Clark ! did. You forgit that he knowed so little I bout the law as to pint a member of the Le gislator to an office of profit, and that he . was a large buyer of Yaszu lands. Then he ’(axed em if they knowed any thing bout Troup. Do you know, says he, that he is • j the man that got up in Congeress and urged em to pay you for fighting the Ingins many (years ago, and has constantly tried to make jem give you lands which you ought to have ; Jhad long ago, and which you paid fur mure than a hundred times. Do you find fait with a man becase he defends you and your in trust ? This, Mr. Printur, put me in a kind of a quondara and so I thought 1 wood send ' to cousen Tom anti git the papers and read j lor myself, but I cudent find every thing in ,Lis papers. One Mr. Lowndes is writing: a good deal bout the lection, but mamma 1 says he pant be any kin to one Lowndes she ] usd to hear talk of in South-Calina, for he ' was said to be a very fine man and had good 1 principels. Cousen Tom says if I will git your paper we will swop so that I can hear both sides and you will please to send it; 11 and more espeshelly, as I wish to know if 1 1 shall vote for a man that may bite me next! 1 winter when I go to Milledgeville town to 1 i take out my grant. 1 TIMOTHY TIGHT. 1 , 1 j A Reward of &200 is offered by the Go- , ’ vernour for the apprehension of William i Cu*eton, of Hancock county, who has Hed jifrom justice, having committed an aggravat- L 1 ed murder upon the body of John Pullen.; 1 Cureton is 20 or 22 years old, 5 feel 8 in-|i 1 dies high, full eyes and face, dark com- I j. plected, and has a down cast look. j ' >»■' i Another distinguished Hero of the Revo-; 1 lution—a most firm and enbghtened States-]' man, a Patriot beyond suspicion and with- 1 out reproach—the model throughout his life, I whether public or private, of a pure and| ! virtuous citizen and magistrate—the wise 1 associate of the ancestors of our liberty, the s bright and immortal example of all ingenu- 1 ’ ous youth who would identify their names with their country’s home and happiness, ' CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCK ’ NEY, is no more. Our feelings on this 1 melancholy event restrain us from speaking ' ( further. Courier. I 1 It is asserted as a fact, that the Dutch flag | ■ displayed from die vessel wltich brought outj| the Dutch minister, is the first national Dutch 1 ' fl.«g, exhibited in New-Yurk, since it was , : struck 150 years ago, when the colony! s of New Amsterdam was ceded to Great!] Britain. L Eight daysVater from Europe. I r New-Yqrk, August 20. i Just after we had put our postscript to press last evening, the Pacific, Capt, S. M.tx , well, arrived from Liverpool, bringing Lon , don papers of the 14th, and Liverpool of the 16th, together with shipping Lists, Prices ‘ Current, &c. —The Cotton Market had soine | what improved. The Liverpool Cotton Market had began to revive, but in consequence of immense , importations the last few days but fi w sales ' could be made at the prices asked. The ar ! rivals in one day from the United States ’ were 21,000 bales, and from the Brazils, ' 9,ooo—in all 30,000 bales. At Havre, the Market had again become dull; but it was expected the demand would [ be increased, in consequence of the plague , haying broken out at Alexandria, Egypt, [ which would operate against imports front i that country. There is nothing of much interest or im portance in the papers by these arrivals, ex [ cepting, perhaps the new? from the Greeks, and in respect of that, the account-’ are so contradictory a d uncertain, that we can forna no positive opinion of our own. The ! French papers contain little else than ac ’ counts of the daily movement of the royal family, nobility. &c. &c. In England, the Parliament having adjourned, and the Sum mer Assizes commenced, the papers are chiefly devoted to law reports. VVe have carefully examined, however a great mass of Paris and London papers, and gleaned there from, condensed and arranged under suitable heads, such items, of all descriptions, as wei supposed would be most likely to interest or amuse the reader. Some difficulty has taken place at Cadiz, between a French vessel stationed off the har bor to enforce a quarantine regulations, and the British frigate Active, which, unless ex plained, it is supposed may give rise to many embarrassing occurrences. The Active had on board the Portuguese minister M. Pereira, to the Dey of Algiers, and a son of Sir Ben jamin Bloomfield. “ The Envoy paid over to the Dey 64,000 dollars. His Highness expressed himself satisfied, and the ancient relations of friend ship were renewed between the two govern ments, when the Portuguese Consul was permitted to land, and to assume his diplo matic functions. When the Active arrived in the bay of Cadiz, she was hailed by a French brig of war, which is stationed at the mouth of the bay, to enforce the quarantine laws ; the commander of the frigate replied, that he was coming into a Spanish port, he would recognize no flag but that of the Span ish nation.—A mutual explanation took place, and the boat belonging to the Board of Health, was immediately despatched to put the usual questions to the frigate, when they were informed that she had come from Algiers. Though having remained Gibraltar seven days, and at the same time producing a clean bill of health, yet a question arose as to the propriety ot her being admitted to pratique. An extraordinary Board of Health assembled at 3 o’clock, to decide this impor tant matter: President, the Commander-in- Chief of the French forces. The French in terest at the Board was against her being admitted unless she passed her usual quar antine; but the Spaniards felt so pleased when they were informed that the British Commander would not acknowledge the French flag, that they all voted that she should be allowed pratique. Her boats were consequently permitted to come on shore on Sunday morning about 7 o’clock, after re maining 24 hours in quarantine ground. “ On the Tuesday following the pracket from England arrived off Cadiz, having a passage of ten days. She was brought to by the French brig about 7 o’clock in the eve ning, in the quarantine ground, to wait the arrival of the health officers; the moment the commanding officer of the Active saw her enter the Bay, he manned his boat and went alongside of the packet, to know what assistance he could render her, or if she re quired any, at the same time offering to put on shore immediately the mails, and to pro vide her with such necessaries as she might stand in need of. When the Captain of the French brig saw the Active’s boat along side | the packet, he sent an impertinent message to know “ who had the temerity to board the packet without his orders.” The answer re turned was, that “ The Commanding Officer lof his Britannic Majesty’s frigate Active, [agreeably to, ami in conformity with, Ad jmiralty orders, dared to board his Majesty’s [packet, and would every other English ves sel which should enter the Buy of Cadiz du ring her stay there, whether it should or should not be agreeable to the French Com mander.” Liverpool, July 16, 1825. We have experienced considerable flue- , tuation in our Cotton Market of late, but i the tendency has again been downwards. In the early part of last week the demand seemed entirely suspended, and on Thurs day the 7th inst. some hundred bags of Up- ] lands were forced off at a decline of 2ld per lb. from the prsvious nominal currency. This great reduction excited the attention of both speculators and the trade, and con sideraole business would have been done on ( Friday at these prices if holders had met the [ demand. The demand however increased, and the sales effected on Saturday and Monday last were generally at an advance of Id upon the depressed sales of Thursday the 7th. As is usually the case, we hud not much doing on Tuesday last, but the arri vals from the United States were particular ly numerous and deterred the trade on Wednesday, from making any purchases of consequence, although many of them had come purposely to lay in a stock. The market was remarkably quiet on Thursday, but there was more doing yesterday at prices * about 3 under those of Monday, and there s is again a little belter feeling in the market, which we hope may lead to some advance. The total sales of this week amount to 10,- \ 050 bags, viz. 5930 American, 3625 Bra * ills, 100 Demerara, 385 Egyptian, and 20 ’ Surats. Os the American, there were 4200 Uplands, at lOd to 14d; 1500 Orleans, at 5 I2j to 15; 120 Tennessees and 100 Sea ' Islands. The import this week has been s heavy, viz. 35,618 bags, consistingof 24,480 j American, 10,274 Brazils, and 864 West 1 Indies. i ’ London, July 12th.
