FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1825.
Georgia shall have no land while |
Troup is Governor. i
Such was the declaration of Mr. Indian i
Agent Crowell, the plain meaning of which |
is—“ I with my Sub-Agents, my brothers, i
my Interpreter, and others dependent on i
my patronage, can at pleasure, procure or
prevent a Treaty with the Creeks. Ap
point the Governor whom I approve, and it
shall be made—appoint one that 1 oppose, I
and it shall not.” On Monday next the 1
people are to decide whether they submit to
this dictation, or remain their own masters.
If we are disposed to sink from the dignity
of a state, to the meanness of provincial de
pendence, by bending the neck to an In
dian Agent, it would be better at once to;
unite us with the Creeks, and put all togeth
er under his paternal government. Clark
might be his sub-agent; and then no doubt
we should glide smoothly along without the
agitation and tumults of an election. Butj
we trust there is still too much pride inj
our fellow citizens, to endure humiliation.,
|
Thousands who are above the sycophancyj
of pretending that Governor Troup is ex
empt from human failings, still see in him
the firm and honest man, whose warmth has
been excited by zealous devotion to his coun
try. They set a proper estimate on the
candour of those who denounce him for
his violence, while Urey support that John
Clark, who bears with him the torch of dis
cord wherever he goes ; who for a quar
ter of a century appears to have haij no ob
ject, but to engender in the bosoms of his
partizuns, the same bitter and implicable
enmities which dwell in his own. They
will leach the Administration what they
think of its policy in retaining qn Agent,
who notoriously for years, has been in the
practice, of abandoning his own depart
ment, to interfere with barefaced audacity
in our domestic politics. They will shew
John Clark how much he has gained with
them, by his tardy hypocrisy in affecting to
support the late Treaty ; when he, his
friends, and his pres? did every thing to
encourage those who were endeavouring to
destroy it, until deterred by the loud voice
of public indignation. In tine we trust it
will be demonstrated to the world, that tin y
esteem honour the most precious possession
of states as well as individuals ; that they
forgive much to an ardent patriotism whose
very excesses are of a generous nature j
but repel with merited scorn, the malignant
selfishness which sacrifices every public
consideration to personal advancement or
personal revenge.
State Rights, Troup fy the Treaty.
The approaching election is big with in
terest to the citizens, nut only of GEOR
GIA, but of the SO ITT II ; and upon the
first Monday in October next, a final deci
sion will be had upon many points which
have been hitherto warmly disputed by the
friends and partisans of the different Can
didates. Troup and Clark are before (he
people of this State as Candidates to fill the
Gubernatorial Chair : if our present Go
vernor is re-elected, the decided disappio
bation of Georgia will be stamped upon the
political tenets of the Clark party, and the
ephemeral exertions of those vain-glorious
politicians, who have for the last six
barrassed and disturbed the State, by trum *
petting the praises “ of him of Yazoo me-j
mory,” will meet with the disregard and
contempt which they.so eminently deserve.
If the present incumbent is continued in
office, no one will daie assert that the vo
ters of 1825 have forgotten, or cease to feel,
the virtuous indignation that roused the
members of our Legislature in 1795, to as
sert and proclaim the rights of our State.
No one will say that Georgia submits with a
servile tameness, and succumbs with an over
gentleness to the ambitious strides of the
United State’s Government. No one will
taunt us with the imputation of being im
posed upon and gulled in the selection of
our Chief Magistrate by Crowell & Co.—
Let John Clark be elected, and the singu
lar degradation which now hangs over us,
and which nothing but the success of the
Republican party can avert, will come
down upon our heads with a dreadful ef
fect. The miserable remnant which will
be then left of the once respectable State
of Georgia, will serve as a loud warning to
future politicians, who, in the excess of
their feelings, may be inclined to postpone
the welfare of a state, to the aggrandise,
ment of a particular individual. But we
have little cause to fear an event which
we so much deprecate; for we doubt
not but that the good sense of the people
of Georgia will conduct the coming elec
tion to a happy close. If we have been
mistaken in our calculations, we will still
possess the consolation of having never
swerved from the intentions with which we
set out— the good of the Republic. «
Extract of a letter from Beaufort, dated
September 23.
“ The prospect of cotton in this neighbor
hood is deplorable. You can form no idea
of the ravages of the caterpillar within the
last month. They will in five days com
pletely consume a field of 60 or 80 acres,
leaving nothing green behind them, and
stripping the stock of every thing but the
grown pods. The earth is covered with
them, and you cannot put your foot down
without treading on them. The crop with
us will not equal the last, and may not a
tnount to one half of it — Char, Mer.
Fayetteville, (N. C.) Sept. 22.
A gentleman from Orange county inform
ed us a few days ago, taat his crop of cotton
I! ad been greatly injured by the rot, which
(has this year, for the first time, made its ap
pearance on his farm ; and that all hjs efforts
jto discover the cause, had been unsuccessful.
Since conversing with this gentleman, we
have seen, in a late papi*r, an article extract
ed fiom (he Louisiana Adyer iser, in which
a planter asserts, with the utmost confidence,
that the Humming Bird is the cause of this
; destructive disease, it we. may so term it, of
. the cotton plant. It would be well for plan
ters to make the observation for theiqselves,
and it the above suggestion prove correct, to
endeavour to devise some means of expelling
the mischievous bird from their fields.
VVehave heard that the rot prevails in
, some other parts of the State.
On Monday afternoon, about 5 o’clock,
Dupont’s Glazing Mill, on the Brandywine,
took fire and exploded with a report which
was felt and heard as far up the Delaware
, Chester. No other building of the powder
works was injured. 0 e man was danger
ously wounded, and three slightly hurt. The
quantity of powder* xploded was about 3000
pounds. The accident is said to have been
occasioned bv sliding a cask of powder into
a cart at the door of the mill
[ Mer. Advertiser.
—aoft
i Earthquake. —A shock of an earthquake
, was felt at New Brunswick,*(N J.) on Sun
, day morning last, about 2 o’clock. The
' same shock was also felt at Staten Island.
[lbid.
The citizens of Philadelphia were invited
i to attend a meeting to be held on the 19th
inst. to make arrangements for a public
, dinner tube given to Commodore Stewart,
’ as a testimonial of their satisfaction at hi?
' recent honorable acquittal.

Application is to be made at the next ses
, sion of the Legislature of New-York, for the
incorporation of a bank with a capital of
15600,000, one of the provisions of which is
intended to be as follows.
, It shall be the duty of the. comptroller of
the state, at. i suitable period, to expose the
. said stock lor sale at public auction, in
small quantities, ami the advance orpremi
, um > to be received upon such sales, to go in
to the state treasury to constitute a separate
fund to be appropriated, as may be provided
i tor by law, in clearing out the channel in the
. Hudson river, south of the city of Albany.
New Improvement in Steam-Boats.—We
: perceive in the Providence Journal an ac
‘ count of the success which has attended the
. experiment which has lately been made of a
newly invented engine on board the steam
( boat Babcock, the name of the inventor, by
which, at the expence of only one foot of
1 wood, site accomplished a distance of thirty
i miles in three hours and a half. The mil-
Jcliinery, it is said, occupies a very little
>oomj and not more than a single barrel
|Sf water was expended in the passage. If
'jail this «e as stated the discovery will be
I great Indeed. —[/W.

, The Highlands. — We are informed, that
a company have obtained a lease of the
' mountain commonly called Antony’s Nose,
. in the Highlands, opposite Fort Montgome
; ry, and propose to erect on its top an ex
. tensive building for public accommodation
during the summer months. Every one
who has travelled upon the Hudson—and
1 who has not? —must have admired the high
r bold summit of tins mountain, as the steam
j boats dart along under its steep and rugged
[ side,on entering the “ Horse-race.” This
noble elevation will command one of the
richest and wildest views of mountain wood,
' and water scenery in nature. And in eve
- ry point of view, with a spacious and well
. kept hotel, it promises to be one of the most
desirable places of resort in the state—at
’ tended with the advantage of being within
a few hours sail ol this city. Indeed, there
can be no doubt of the splendid success of
- the undertaking.— Com. Advertiser.
