Newspaper Page TextI do hereby certify that the above is a true copy of a letter delivered by me to General Gunn, on Sunday evening last, and that the answer herewith inserted, was delivered to me by Col. Wade Hampton on Sunday eve ning 11 o’clock; and that the answer of Gen. Clark which is also herewith stated was offered by me to Gen. Gunn on the Monday morning following. He did not re ceive it, but referred me to his friend, Col. Hampton, who, on receipt thereof, refused to continue the correspondence any longer. (Signed) AMBROSE GORDON. 12th January, 1795. It is unnecessary for me to comment on the above statements of facts. I only wish the public, in their opinions, to do the par lies concerned equal justice. 1 shall leave town to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock, which will sit the 13th inst. (Signed) JOHN CLARK. Augusta, January 12, 1795. I do hereby certify that the letter presented to me on Monday morning last, said to be from General Clark, and addieased to Gene ral Gunn, was never delivered to that gen tleman. For having declined the correspon dence, by assuring Col. Gordon, when he handed me the letter, that General Gunn had taken his measures, by giving an alterna tive, from which it was not probable he would depart, the Colonel and myself parted and I thought no more of the letter, nor oversaw a word of its contents. (Signed) W. HAMPTON. January 13, 1795. -<soo— from the National Intelligencer. MILITARY COURTESY. We received by the Southern mail of Sunday the 31st of July, the Milledgeville paper containing (with other matter relating to the Treaty question) General Gaines’ interesting letter of the 10th of July to Governor Thoop, communicating the infor mation he had obtained in his recent confer ences with the Indians respecting the Trea ty, the result of these conferences, the ad justment of the threatened difficulties with the Indians, &c. &c. Anxious to place this interesting document before our readers without delay, we determined to insert it in the next day’s paper, although to do so it was necessary to alter the arrangements, and remove much of the matter prepared for the paper of Monday morning. Being Sunday, however, and not wishing to impose unne cessary labor on our office on that day, and being moreover pressed for room, we omit ted the following note of the General’s aid de-camp, to the Editors of the Georgia pa per, deeming it of no importance as an ac companiment, to the Guneral’s own letter, as we did not consider the publication, by him, of the interesting information which he communicated, required any apology. Hi''.lo UUAU.TK.US Eastern Oejiarl. ew 1 , ) AJoalicello, (ito.

Very respectfully, your obed’l ser ’I. E. G. W. BUTLER. Aid-dc-Carup. Not dreaming, therefore, of having, by this unimportant omission, done injustice, certainly intending none, to an officer for whom we have-ever entertained the high respect lelt for him by nil his countrymen, we were not a little s irpriscd at the follow ing order which we received by last Tues day’s mail: MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA, September I, 132’». | Gen 'emeu: In publishing General Gaines* letter of the 10th of July, lo the Governor of ibis stale, /on suppressed the ex-1 plunai.nv biter Unit accompan cd it, and substituted a remark { of your /ou, (loft iless, had reasons for *.O doini:; hut I am instructed' by the Gen thl to request that, in filin'’-, when you honor his Communications with a place in your pi.per. you will do the pub i Jl.: and himself the justice to present toe u as they come lo you. V' try respectfully, yourobedienl servant, E. G W. BUTLER, i Messrs. GaUs <$- Seaton , Aid-dc-Camp. Editors of the Intelligencer. Wc did publish the General’s letter pre cisely as it came to us ; but, while we hold oil selves bound to give correctly, and with out alteration, whatever we insert of any officer’s official correspondence, we do not acknowledge any obligation to publish all the letters he may write on any subject Although his station and present duties ren der his official letters, generally, interesting to the public, it is possible for General Gaines to write what we may not deem of sufficient importance to publish, even when no inconvenience interferes. From official papers, like all other subjects which present themselves to our notice, we must make such selections as our convenience and our esti mate ol their importance prescribe to us. In exercising this discretion, errors of judgment or inadvertency may sometimes occur, but they will always be cheerfully rectified when pointed out to us. We would do wilful in justice to no man—and that General Gaines should have suspected us of intending it to wards him, in this instance, we can only at tribute to the heated atmosphere and the choleric correspondence in which he has been for sometime engaged. He forgot that he was addressing a note to ns, and thought that he was writing to Governor Troup. But if we are to receive the laconic mandate as seriously addressed to us, we will tell the worthy General, that if he continues to be tray the same tostiness on all trivial occa sions, he will do his character more real in jury than our omission to publish his letter can possibly inflict on it, even if we sunpre-- every letter that he ever wrote or may writ* The Quebec Gazette oi the sdi inst. say “ Ihe nights have been unusually cub for some time back. O i the 2d there wa ice of one eighth of an inch thick.” S fOH THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. ! d Mr. Editor, a The Clark party in this state - are now reduced, in their extremity, to ( “ round assertions ,” an evident mark of J their apprehension of failure at the ensuing i election for Governor. We have heard that - some of the knowing ones on that side have . been travelling through the state collecting ) information with respect to their chance of success in the approaching contest, and de claring, with characteristic boldness on their return to this city, their confidence in the i election of John Clark. But how many l times have these political fortune tellers de ceived, if not themselves, many of their i simple and uninformed partizaas in their i confident declarations respecting past elec tions?—We well recollect that no set of men, in or out of the State, wore ever ap parently m ire sanguine concerning tiie 1 success of Matthew 'Talbot, than these very i | men who are now denouncing as a thing be -|v«nd all possibility the present eleciion ol • GEORGE M. TROUP. The fact is they -'find their case is a desperate one, and are • determined if the ship does sink, to drown ilthe groans of the dying in their clamour and -vociferation. We depricate such election-! 1 eering, and are proud tp find that few, or 1 none, of our friends declare themselves up s on the election in such a manner as to in duce the belief that they held the casting vote, and consequently could turn the event as to them should seem best. Nevertheless oui confidence in the success of the present Governor is as strong as the nature of the ease will admit, and we are daily receiving C assurances from all parts of Gem gin of , | the increasing popularity of our favorite . candidate. We doubt not but that the ’ friends of Gen. Clark will bang themselves ,;in their own rop( i, and therefore it is bust . to let them spin, without interference, their . little rotten threads to as great a length as . their splene and dispair will carry them. i , FOII THE CONSTITUTIONALIST, i i To the Citizen of Scriven i ountij. j FELLOW-CITIZENS, THE time is not far dis- J taut when it will be vnur duty to assemble • in order to assist in c j son, to till the highes the people of your 8 volving days and yo exercise of a privileg "imay esteem as of lit ’{your fathers won in i j tie, and sealed its r (blood.

Even while 1 now write, the most glaring falsehoods are busily cir . culated through the medium of a hired . press, in order to impose upon your credu lity.

Ihe very few limns which must h necessarily elapse before this can reach you, appear tone to pissess the worth of mil lions; because you may chance to remain unapplied of your real situation, without one friendly voice to warn you of the com • ing daiiger, or conduct you through the in -1 tricate\mazes of faction. Although, you ■ cannot be supposed entirely ignorant of the ’ ptincijial traits which distinguish the char ( acters of the (wo men before you, yet a I want of an entire acquaintance with them, will give designing and bad men an oppor ■ (unity of deceiving you, and reduce the ; boasted privilege of election to an empty I name. ojure you therefore, to esteem t the inter, .neingtime precious, because it is i short, and to improve the opportunity you I yet have, before you make the final plunge, t and assume the awful and important res i poiisibilhy, should you act erroneously and - discover that the sin of the transgression t lies at your own door. But one false step, t and you may be lost forever—you may be i spared to weep over the fallacy of the de • lusion, bit your unborn children will feel - that the error was irretrievable. If once s you venture out of the ark of your safety - you may seek in vain to a return ; and. al - though you may wander like the dove, yet s you will be doomed to seek for deliverance s until something more vital will be effected t than the soles of your feet.
