~CQ VSTITUTIONALIST. __ AUGUSTA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1823. ' Thk Enquirer speaking of the affairs of Georgia, declares that “ prodigious ex ertions” have been made “by certain indi- ' Vid mils ” to give to the public press M an im- ! proper bias” upon that subject, and adds— I “ We were approached ; and but for the ex- , traordinary zeal and pains employed to en list this press in the cause, our credulity might have been imposed upon.” There is some mystery in this, and our honest unsus pecting citizens can hardly conceive how this State, which has generally pursued a correct and upright course, should have en emies abroad as well as at home who are bent, if not upon her ruin, at least upon do-j ing her some serious harm. We have how-| ever no doubt of the fact, that it is a part of! the policy of those who wish to get into', power in the United States, to prostrate Governor Troup’s popularity, and with it the Republican majority of the state and the late Treaty with the Indians. The ob ject is to put Georgia into leading strings,! and train her for the next Presidential elec-; tlon. Hence the apathy towards the mur-| dered M Intosh, and the sentimentality in behalf of his butchers—the letters of the South-Carolina wiseacres—the conduct of the War-Olfice emissary—the delusion of G“ncral Gaines—aud the miserably gross misrepresentations of our feelings, opin ions and conduct. “We have been ap proached”—saith the Enquirer. It is not wonderful ; for the editor of that paper pos sesses talent and influence, and those who sought to impose their yoke upon him, are sanguine—daring—and artful. There ne ver was a better organized body of politi cians, if they dteerv® a name of that dig nity—and if Mr. Adams does not have a care, he will find himself fighting in their bis own destruction. While our enemies are rallying around us let us not by disunion and fierce quarrels give them an advantage over us. Let us adhere to 1 our Republican principles—pursue unceas ingly the acquisition of the lands to which we are entitled, and support Troup and the Treaty ; so shall confusion and defeat co ver our enemies, and our just cause emerge in brilliancy from the clouds that at present darken around it. It is said that Mr. Andrews has been re fused an audience by Mr. Adams since his return to the Federal City. This royal method of evincing displeasure having grown into use with the great folk at Wash ington ;—although we deny its constitution ality, we are well pleased that it should be exercised towards one, by whom the forms of decorum towards this state were gross ly outraged. We will not yet give up the hop* that the President will brush away from his ears the buzzing insects that are endeavouring to beguile him, and listening only to the dictates of his own conscience act with firmness and impartiality. This is what we have a right to ask and expect While upon this subject we may add—that the exertions of our enemies have been pressed too far. A reaction is taking place, and it is probable before the session of Con gress will be complete. Wa shall yet, we trust live to see “ the poisoned chalice” re turned to the lips of our accusers and slan derers. We regret that we have not room for Mr.' Hobby’s reply to Mr. Grantland, which snail! certainly be copied into our next. We) have every disposition to present both sides' to the public, but the reply being „f some ength, is unavoidably postponed. i We arc happy to be able to state, that) Governor Tuouf, of Georgia, has, by a! late despatch, informed the President of the United States of his determination not to attempt the survey of the ceded Indian lands, which Ire was authorised by an act of the Legislature of the state to have made as early as he should deem it advisable. In adrpting this course, Goy. Troup has not disappointed our expectations; and th<* as-l fair will now, of course, rest quietly, until' the meeting of Congress, aud of die Legis lature ol Georgia. [Nat. hit. Quick Work. —A mechanic of this city lately made fitly packing boxes, each one large enough to bold two dozen wine bottles, in ibe space of ten hours. I’be boxes were plained on the outside, and made in a woi k-l manlike manner, i’be work was dune fori awtgerof S>o, and tire time allowed was' twelve hours.

Dear Sir, j You or some of your medical corres- 1 pondents would do a great favor, not only to 1 myself, but to many others, by publishing, 1 for the benefit of the community, any cure f it you know of any, for intemperance, not in eating, but drinking. This request may * appear strange, and probably your answer 1 may be " Quit drinking and that will cure * jou ol itself—There you would be deceived r if the thing is done suddenly. I have tried the experiment, and find it wont answer fur ' Persons like myself, who have long been in * habits of intemperance. * * ! Drunkenness, in my humble estimation. 1 is as much a disease as any other complaint, ! The stomach, long accustomed to stimuli, • looks tor it, and requires it as naturally as 1 it does loud, and the absence of this stimu-l* lus will knock the poor wretch down in a fit! 1 jof apoplexy, the very first time he takesl j more exercise than usual, or has his mind/ agitated by the perplexity of business, or the j 1 .influence of a sudden gust of passion, which j has been the case with myself. I am well aware that nothing will more j conduce to the restoration of a man from this * vile and disgraceful habit, than light diet, 1 cheerful company, country air, and a calm ;anil placid mind.—But, sir, there are acer- 1 1 tain class in this world, consisting of a large 1 ;number of disciples, of which I am one, 1 jwhom Plutus, the God of riches, has not ! -deemed very worthy of consideration, if 1 may be allowed to judge, by the old fellow’s 1 scattering his hall pence so very sparingly 1 I among the crowd ; the consequence of which ’ is, that my party (by which 1 mean those '■ that are nut so well supplied with the loaves 1 and fishes of this world as some others are) 1 are forced from necessity to attend their ' daily avocations, be they what they may, t whether law, physic, divinity, merchandize, * or vagabondism. * 1 But to be serious, if there is any possible mode by which this desirable object can be 1 obtained, namely, that of “ wet, and thirsty 1 souls” abandoning the use of spirituous li quors without running the risk of sudden 1 death by apoplexy—and it the same strength 1 ot body and capacity lor business can be 1 procured by any other means than that of scalding the stomach with “ blue and red i ■ ruin, ,, or requiring powerful stimulants to : increase the energy of the brain, please in- I form us ot it, and you will raise yourself ! very high in (be estimation of myself and a 1 great many others. , GLASSY-EYED MORTALS, i P. S. I was so nervous this morning, I ! had to take two cocktails, and my knees dont behave with that propriety which 1 would desire. I hope to see an answer to this in your next paper. Postscript the second. I was reading a few days ago an article extiacted from the Medical Intelligencer, wherein the writer recommends the use of beer as a drink in preference to ardent apir- 1 ’its. His argument is all theory, and like 1 Capt. Symes’ doctrine of the concentric circles ol the earth, exists only in the wri ter’s imagination, for it is well known that unfortunate class of people, like myself, who are addicted to drink, that with the ex- 1 ception of Madeira wine, nothing is so in- 1 toxicating; it completely addles the brain, I and keeping the senses stupified sometimes I for several days. It certainly could not 1 have been a regular bred Physician who 1 wrote that piece. i HIGHLY INTERESTING. Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Re publican, dated Milledgeyillb, Is Sept. 1825. , “ On the subject of the Governor’s elec- j tinn we daily hear of a complete re action , and reformation taking place, particularly ] in the frontier counties. This is attribute ,| ble to the course Gen. Gaines, Clark, Cro- 1 , well, &c, have pursued. The former, as you will perceive, continues writing—his letups , ! have a beneficial effect. He is at piesent| in this place, and to give you an idea of his , inveterate feeling and dignity of character,! he yesterday observed at the dinner table, in presence ol the whole company, that ( 1“ any person iahu would vole for Governor I Troup was not his friend.” j ( I “ The more the Treaty is investigated, the more you can compare it to a rolling! snow ball, gathering weight and strengtn.j lAn Jones County, formerly Clark's strong-j jest hold, large bets are making that he will I not get one hundred majority. In Jasper it ii» thought that the voles will be equal—at any rate Clark’s majority will not exceed one hundred aod fifty—and in Walton bis majority wdl not be near as large as has 1 been supposed. In fact, as I have before said, h reformation is taking place. I have just learnt that President Adams refused tugrant Maj. Andrews an interview' |on his arrival at Washington. This. I think, was as it should be. Tiie Governor has lately demanded of the President the arrest and tri,.l of Gen. Gaines, according to the articles of war ” GEORGIA CONTROVERSY. We had prepared an article lor 10-das’s paper on this subject; but it is unavoidably excluded uy matter more interesting to our I readers perhaps, loan a vi dication of our Scourse from the attacks that hive ben I made upon it. Recent developments an i I a m-ire minute enquirv into the -u ijecl coo -1 viace us that so far as we have expressed un\ opinion either upon the merits of the contro versy or the conduct of the United States' Officers ami Agents, we have not erred. Oi the right of Georgia to make the surveys at ( present, we have expressed no positive npiit i inn ; but have urged the propriety of their ; postponement The validity of the treaty ( involves a question of deep interest to all t the parties, and ought to be clearly estab- < lished. Hut whti is it that' impeaches it f t and under wha* circumstances and for what ’ purposes ? are questions that ought nut to I escape examination. If the public mind has ; not been poisoned by prejudices excited by i partizun and improper representations, u 1 will be no difficult matter to prove, that ac- I cording to the facts, as yet publicly known, I an impression against the validity ot the trea ty has been too hastily entertained. Is it i not wonderful too that this impression has been made by the very persons whose duty it was to sustain it, ami by other:/ who had i an important agency in the formation and ; ratification of the treaty ? j I’he conduct of the United States offi cers and Agents towards Georgia is a branch |of the subject upon which we have had no idifficulty in farming an opinion. It is in jtliis conduct that Georgia finds a stiong ground of complaiqt. Hut it has been losti sight of completely in the hue and cry rais-|i ed against the governor. Os his ardent! zeal in what he considers the rights of his state, we have already spoken. If the wri ters in the National Journal will exert, (if capable of such an exertion) only one half the candour we have shown, they will confess that the United States officers have acted! towards that state with the most censiTrable indecorum and disrespect. We believe the Journal is sensible of this. Foi, feeling unable to meet the view of the subject, andj in ihe absence of even a decent share of can dour, that print, says—” If the Agents ot the General Government have used impro per language to Governor Troup, they cer tainly were not authorised to employ it by the General Government.” If this be so, (and we ought nut to presume to the contra ry,) we shall see what course that g vern ment will take towards -hern. Hut to conclude. We are persuaded that there are political considerations at the bot tom o| this unpleasant affair, of which the great body of the people have no conception* II so, time will develops them. We know something ot (he prodigious exertions used by certain individuals, to give to the public press of the country, an improper bias on the subject. IVe were approached; and but for the extraordinary zeal and pains em ployed to enlist this press in the cause, our credulity might have been imposed upon The conductors of the New-York Review, who publisued the paper on the Creek Trea ty* which lias been so much praised and circulated, will at no distant day, we have reason to believe, have an opportunity to understand the'- machinery that seems to h ive been employed in this whole business. Faults may have been committed on both sides ; but it is unjsst to hurl censure and denunciation at one only. Audi altorain partem, [ 'Richmond, Euqr, .-'lO*- tommodore ewmt. —lt gives us' <*reat pleasure to state, what is known to be o fact, though not yet officially promulgated, that Commodore Stewart has been honorably and unqualifiedly acquitted of all the char ges and specifications on which he has just been tried. We hope to be able, to-morrow, to publish the finding of the Court, by which the name of this distinguished officer is res tored to all its lustre, and himself to the service to whose fame he has so largely con tributed.— Nat. Intel. The next, and last officer wfio will be ar raigned before the present Court Martial, is Captain James Ramage, whose trial will come on to day. The charges on which lie is to be tried, were preferred against him ;by Lieut, Wolbekt, of the Navy, and are the following: Ist. Neglect in the performance of his |dnty. 2nd. Conduct unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman. | 3d. Oppressive conduct. l'he specifi ations of misconduct embra ced under these general charges, we purpose ly omit until their publication can be ac companied by a st itemont of his guilt or in nocence of them.— lbid. j Capt. Morris left the city yesterday to take command of tiie frigate nrandywine, which lies in the river 80 or 90 miles below. Capt. M. has of course ' esigned his scat at the Navy Hoard. On ois arrival in Fi ance, he will leave the ship, for die puipose, t is isaid, of engaging in certain duties, under the orders ol the Government, which wid/le tain Inm fir some time in France and Eng land, and lie will then return 10 the Unned States. Fhe snip, in the mean time, will proceed to join Hie Mediterranean squad run under Com, Rodgers, where she will be delivered over t toe command of Capt. Daniel T. Patterson. — Ibid.

Y. Advocate. Middletown, Conn. Aug. 3U MAIL ROBBERY. VVe understand that the mail between Canterbury add Windham, in this state, was lately bioken open, and notes, drafts, and money, to the amount of about 85000 taken from it. Suspicion rested upon a young man by the name of Orange Sherman, aged 19, who was emphmal in carrying the mail from Canterbury to Windham. He was arrested and a part nf the money was found deposited in u (in box in the barn yard near his residence. He was taken be fore a magistrate, when he confessed that he had opened the mail four different times loom the 14th June to the 261 h July. He had taken from the mail, two quarterly re mittances to the Geneial Post Office. He is now confined in Brooklyn jail. A *l>ip of war, of nearly 2000 tons bur then, was launched at New York, on the 31st alt. She was built b) Mr. Eckford , and is intended, as is supposed, for one of the South-American Governments. Two others of equal size, are building in Phila delphia and Baltimore. An extensive forgery, on the Montreal ,B;uik, has lately been discovered. It is Istated that one forged check drawn for 81700 had been paid, with which the indi vidual who procured the payment (lad taken his departure for the United States. A letter from St. Louis, mentions the re? cent death of Governor Bates of Missouri, !and of Judge Pettibmie, of the same state.
