He remarked to me also, that Messrs.

Mr. Hannon, on receiving the manuscript, »a; well convinced it could not be printed in dm He (hccetore went on with i to Ph.lade.phi., intending there to get the wor, printed and supenutend it himself; and knowing that Messrs Careys had offered for the work, he Consulted them as to the most economical inude ui executing it. This consultation eventually led 'n a contract with them to print the work, which iiey u iderto'kto do in t-xacCconformily to Mr Hannon’s und, rtirking, and to deliver it in due mu at Milledgevifle. The contract was made With them h»ctuse it , r was known they could do it in a workman! ke nat.ni'.r ; it was known to Mr. Hannon too, that r tie srs. C.areys had printed the Georgia Justice for Mr. Grand,'ind —tor that work (like the laws) " vas printed in I'lihadelpiiia; and Mr. Harmon, believing that Mr, Grantland was no bad hand at ’■ rniWiig a coni pact where his interest was con ' n f r-ed, naturally supposed, by employing the i same person, to print the laws that Mr. Grant- I d had empl >yed to print the Georgia Justice, ■« hat he wa taking a course which prudence would at all events sanction. • hue contract made with the Governor, and c ./Inch Messrs. Osreyn nnderto >k to execute, was, f mt the work should be of a qu»rto size, and to r.

He observed, how Ver, that lit thought that work was spaced out m re than i 'ni d to have been. That, however, was the co py which governed the contract. Lh ise, there ore, woo wdl take the trim le to compare the 1 l«.i books, will judge for themselves hnw f t they correspond with, or differ from, each other. The volume executed by, or rather tor, Mr. Han i on, was in alt re-poets superior I > the copy. The work /as finished in lime, and was dui dehvered. On an examination of it, the Giver mr wa. of opinion t .at it was stretched cm be yond what the contract w-u-ranted, ami w und c.irisr qucntly. if paid lor at cording to the term.. i ih' igreement, cost more dm it ought to do fie hid t le two bonks compared, and d reeled an estimate to ba made of die number ol pages ri ver w at il sn iiild appear the work need to have nude; anil die result nf the investigation was, i iat it had made rix'y six pages more than ii need 11 h ive do i , aid that Consequently live hun- Ir 1 sid ninety four dollars must be deducted f in die bill renderrd b tore it could ba naid.

J. HOUBY. •. N. B. There never was a contract made mor it free from all partiality or personal considerations, i than that made with Mr. Hannon lor 'publishing c the laws. It may not perhaps be amiss to publis 1 >■ the following extract of thj Governor’t letter to me, after the work was delivered, and after th> t bill for printing had been sent him. It will show with what scrupulous regard to honor and honest) d the Governor acted in this case, as he did in a , i, others : •* Executive Ofice, Milledgeville, 13<A March, 1832. 11 “ From the circuinstai.ee of there being s '■ much blank paper in Lamar’s Digest, the book n e larger than it ought to have been, tor the ma'iei it contan s. 1 therefore conci ive there ah uh be a deduction made for these blanks, which oc J cur soofien, and ap >ear tohav.- been left for th purpose of increasing the numb-T of pages.

It will be recollectetl by most of our rea ders that Mr. Cosain Emir Bartlett, who is ’ now the Editor of the “Ge irgia Patriot” and staunch advocate of Gen. Clark’s elec tion, formerly edited the “Museum” pub , lished in this City. To show the consisten* l cy of Mr. B. and the very high opinion he once entertained for the public character of Gen. Clark, when Governor of Georgia, we give below an editorial article, which may, be found in the “ Museum,”and is evident ly from the pen of this gentleman. In 1821, Mr. Bartlett, thought Gen. Clark a fool ish wicked, and corrupt man whose pub lic acts ought to damn him. In 1825 the editor of the Patriot changes his tone and eulogizes the General as an able, virtuous and incorruptible statesman and patriot—a man who lias rendered “ eminent services in the Cabinet and Held !!” What will the friends of Clark say to this beautiful jportiait? A mure violent philipic against the General, has not we believe fallen from the pen of any of his political opponents., We leave thU however for him to decide, and tosav whether Mr. Bartlett was justi fiable i.> thus denouncing him. ft’rorn (he Savnuna Museum ot t he 291 h May, 1821. We know not which iftost to admire, the IGNORANCE or INDIFFERENCE, of GOVERNOR CLARK, abnui the most im portant provisions, ol our Constitution—or the suppleness and subserviency of a ma-; jurity in the Legislature, in applauding a course of conduct which merited their se verest censure. Our constitution, viewing with a jealous eye the accumulation of pow er, has placed the disposal of the funds of the state in the hands of the representatives of the people. Our conscientious Governor, without humbling himself to ask the advicej or consent nf this branch ol government,l HAS DRAWN FIF « EEN THOUSAND! DOLLARS FROM the S I’A I’BS TREA SURY AND EXPENDED IT UPON OB JECTS FOREIGN TO HIS DUTY. And our Independent Legislature, in general assembly convened, rendered him their hum-1 ble thank-, therefor. The one transaction is at open war with the spirit of our govern ment, and the other is a complete mockery, a burdesque of all legislation. I The precise manner of expenditure, in- i di ed does not appear.
