CONSTITUTIOVALIST AUGUSTA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1825. TROUP Sf TiIB As tha election of Governor approaches, the hostile press groans under the burthen of feverish essays, and delusive calculations, which are said t«be “ unquestionable!” A little time, and these last throes of an ex piring party will have subsided, and the high and lofty Republicanism of Georgia, preserving the ascendancy which it has al ready obtained, will have no need again to assume an armour, or descend into the are na. If information from the most intelli gent sources is worthy to be relied upon, the first Monday in October will be a proud day for Troup and his friends, and we remind our political associates, even at this distance of time, that the event, whenever it is con clusively announced, should be celebrated as a bright era in the annals of our coun try. Georgia has-been cruelly taunted and grossly insulted ; —her very name has been made a byeword by her enemies ; the frown of the General Government is darkening upon her and she is threatened “ with the ban id die empire —her old Yazoo tor mentors rise up and the gath ering storm for her destruction—the bad faith of the U. Slates towards her is called justice, and their contempt, moderation, —an Indian Agent holds the rod over her head —officers and clerics of the General Government are permitted to reproach and to abuse her public functionaries, and her fair inheritance— her own land is placed, at the disposal of savages, who have not only murdered their leader, but have spilt the blood of her inhabitants and citizens— the catalogue might be greatly enlarged but we forbear—Georgia will triumph in the election of Troup, and a becoming joy and gratitude to Heaven should be manifested every where. Let the Beils ring—bon fires blaze, and the deep mouthed cannon speak to the whole South the victory of stern vir tue and of State Rights. In lending our feeble support to the Go vernor—in calling ipon our friends united, active and vigilant—•• that we but perform la d” our political principle ~ : m v of malice or revenge|to , (; r-i-. is personally almost ui we oppose his election fn ■ rations alone. The Yam i.h i . ; called proverbially “astu k and it is certain that Genet one of the grantees. He has he was at Augusta, or that he ta> th she Legislature—be it so—but th . as obtained by bribery and he was to the Land. Governor Troup was i tively opposed to this monstrous ii. merits for it the lasting gratitude of th publick, and for this reason we prefer to Gen. Clark. The General when in oh never recommended to the Legislative co. sideration a Court of Appeals, than which no institution is more necessary to the hap piness and prosperity of (he People.—Gov. Troup lias recommended the establishment of sucli a Court and although we do not like the model he proposed, he is evidently in favor of the principle and acted wisely in placing it before the Representatives of the people, for this reason we prefer him to Gen. Clark. The General when iu office abused the Bunks and injured thereby the credit and the commercial interests of the State. Let his Messages—if they yet survive—be hun ted up and the merchant will discover such strange notions in relation to Banking as could only have been engendered by the profoundest ignorance. Governor Troup’s opinions upon this subject and indeed all others touched upon by him in his Messages are sensible and judicious, and on this ac count we prefer him to General Clark.— General Clark was inactive during the last war, Governor Troup was assisting and supporting it with true states-man-like en ergy and hence the hatred of him by Hart ford Conventionists and those who looked upon our victories by land and sea as crying sins—for this cause and for this hatred we prefer him to General Clark. Governor Troup writes f,r himself—we cannot be lieve—those who have seen the letters of ■General Clark do not beleive that his Hook or his Message# were written by himself, Because then the Governor is possessed of a more cui ivated mind we would suppoi him in preference to his rival. There is reason to believe from the conduct of Gene ral Gaines, Col. Crowell and Maj.’Andrews —from the public Toasts by General Clark’s - friends at the dinners given to Gen. Gaines, that the General is and has been opposed to (he Treaty lately made with the Indians.— His friends say that he desires nothing so much as the acquisition for Georgia of the lands now occupied by (he Indians. Will they tell us what effort he has made to sup port the 1 reaty, and whether his friend and active partisan Col. Crowell supports it ? - No—if Oov. Clark could make the Treaty both he and Col. Crowell would be willing i (hat justice should be done to Georgia , but they would rather encourage a cruel injustice and break the Treaty than that > Gov. Troup should have the credit of ma . king it. This looks like patriotism !—or does it resemble a little and selfish ambition ? . Governor Troup has laboured hard to get ’ our lands—has encountered in pursuit of I this object obloquy and reproach—for this 1 , reason we will not desert him but continue ■ to support Troup and the Treaty!—We i ob ject also to the extravagance of General . Clark—his contingent expences for four 1 years amounted to 8126,658 93|! ! and i fbe items in the account are not calculated , to advance his reputation as a man of dis , comment or a statesman. Gov. Troup’s , economy demands countenance and support. . Finally—let us remember that the Governor . is the advocate o State Rights, and Gene l ral Clark belongs to the other school of pol- I iticians. Who shall say after impartially examin . ing the reasons we have disclosed that they [ are unsubstantial!—Let our fellow-citizens t I of Richmond County look to their true in-i . terests and consult their consciences when I 1 they go to the Polls! j We have read.attenlively the Correipon- 1 dence of the Governor Aftl Judge Berrien,! 1 , which the enemies of ifi former ded - , would blow him sky higK.
