CONSTITUTIONALIST. 11 a _____ n _ . --- V TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1825. 1' -----.t Ia \Vk concluded in our last the Export t of the Commissioners, and in this number we publish several affidavits which detail certain expressions and conversations of General Gaines, of no very mild character. t These documents fully sustain the Governor in the view he has taken of the conduct of t Andrews, Gaines and Crowell, who we pre- same can no longer escape the general cen- s sure. In this State all parties now unite in ] the belief that the Indian Agent should be , removed, and the eyes of the PresidentL wdl be at last opened, notwithstanding the! s attempts made by his agents to blind him to' c the true situation of affairs in Georgia. We j hope, if the Chief Magistrate do not bestow , the proper mark of disapprobation upon the | conduct ot General G. arid Major A. that Congress will not forget what is due to the rights and sovereignty of one ot the Slates of the Union. While our political opponents arc lauding the Commissioners they condemn Gover-|' nor Troup. We do not see with vvhat| reason for there is certainly a stri king coincidence of views between his Excellency and Messrs. Campbell and Me riwether. " it was at first insisted that Crow ell was immaculate---Andrews perfectly clever, and General Gaines all that a milita ry man and a public agent should be.— Now it is allowed that the Indian Agent be haved very improperly, Andrews was a par tial Judge, Games acted unwisely and suf fered himself to be imposed upon. The opposition having yielded so much, their| violence against the Governor should: cease ; having largely mistaken, and dis covered their error, ought they not to con template their remaining prejudices with a feeling of distrust? But no—they' still harp upon ids Excellency’s jealousy of the Gen eral Government, and his anticipations of an improper interferitnce with a property which constitutes a great portion of our wealth and gives to this section ot the Union something at least of its political importance. We believe that in time the truth will as sail even this stronghold, and vindicate the opinions of the Governor. But how unreasonable are these complaints. Is it treason to believe that Georgia should cher ish and manifest a feeling of self respect and that she should look to the conduct of the General Government with precisely that degree of confidence inspired by the knowl edge that men and not angels rule over us f—No one will dispute that such a course so far from being treasonable is per fectly correct and proper, and this being ad mitted, we think it would be difficult to point out the errors of his Excellency’s prin ciples or ailmiulutrution. That be has some times used expressions too warm, and sus ceptible of misconstruction is in truth bis only error, and this will not be considered a very stupendous blemish by generous minds. But why should the politicians of •Georgia longer dispute about Troup and Clark. The election was had and the .first triumphed bj a uute of the people the Legislature met, and the last| was re venged against the will ol' the people. — Let us have done with these broils, and henceforth taking leave of crimination and recrimination, turn our attention only to what will best promote the interests of the state and the advancement of those pure republican principles without which the con stitution is mere piper and the Union a rope of sand. It becomes every Georgian at this period ot excitement to engrave deeply upon Ins heart the never to be forgot ten words measures and. not men. FOR :tHU CONSTITUTIONALIST., Mil. Bu NCK, THE sapient Editor «f the Chronicle has been pleased, after four days deliberate study, to pour upon the squib I furnished for your last Tuesday’s paper, the “vast and ponderous” weight of his so phomoric indignation. His leading article, on Saturday, is about as remarkable for its nice inoral distinctions, as is the Resolution at which my former paragraph was intended to laugh. In regard to that Resolution, 1 have only to say, that it expressly repre sents manslaughter, as a minor offence. I say again, as 1 said before, that no casu ist ever before discovered such a doctrine. it expressly puts this crime in contradis tinction to “ such as imply moral turpi tude," such as ,‘ theft, larceny" sc.; And it the Editor is as good a logician as he professes to be lawyer, he must know that this amounts to saying that the offence in question.involves no moral turpitude at all. Now if Mr. P. will lay asioe his slang about “absurdity,” and “ presuming omio rance,” and “straight jackets” and “all that sort o’thing,” and openly advocate these propositions, it will be easy to meet all Ids arguments in earnest. It would be well for him, however, in the outset, to give us a definition of the crime, which d’»e« not include both killing in chance medly, and justifiable, homicide in self defence ; both <d which arc included in the definition he has chosen. If he can dispute, in prop er temper and in decent language, on such a subject, [ can dispute with him. But if lie discovers, i,i a playful squib, a subject only tor such stuff as this last article of bis, be must excuse me from turning black guard, for the sake ft throwing dirt with him. He is vastly witty on the point of myiCi not using a signature; and the reason he|al assigns, as the probable one, is worthy nfjto no pea but his own. [ can assure him it ot was a mere oversight. The piece was very = hastily written, on the spur of the moment, and 1 neglected to sign if, as I had intended to do, with the name of M'FINGAL. -QO©~ • »*' COMMUNICATED. On Wednesday evening the 30th ult. the Anniversary of Sst. Andrew, was cele-| brated at the Eagle Tavern, when about for-J ty gentlemen sat down to an elegant sup per, served up in Mr. Kennedy’s usual style. Among;the Gishes on the table, the Haggis “ great chieftan o ? the Puddin race” * ranked first. The, utmost harmony and * conviviality;, jvailed, while “ the feast, the H sang, gae'dV un,” until a late hour, the company did not part until “ Auid Lang Syne” was sung—and each responded in - the sentiment of “ happy to meet, sorry to part, and happy to meet again.” \EGISLATURE*OF GEORGIA. \ The bill fixing the salaries of the State House Officers, (2,500 dollars each in place | of their present lees) introduced a few days since by Mr. Stocks, was negatived in Senate 'yesterday by a vote of 32 to 27.

Georgians Mr. Turner offered the following as a ■ . substitute: ; Whereas there is now in the Treasury of r this State seven or eight hundred thousand t dollars ; and whereas the 'Treasurer accord- < . ing to the existing provisions, gives bond in ! f the sum of only 8 100,000 ; and whereas the J f Secretary of State lias received on an aver t age for ten years past u compensation (say , . §38,000) which must be considered toogreat, 1 r when compared with the duties of Ids office : \ i and whereas it is probable from experience . in relation to former Land Lotteries, that . said compensation will amount to the exor ) bitant sum of 8(5000 or upwards annually, 1 . tor u year <>, two nf.cr the contemplated ~ Land Lottery, as was the case in some past . years. , s Resolved therefore, That it is expedient I to adopt such provisions as may be neces sary to regulate the amount of the Treasur jer’s bond, and the compensation of the Sec ure tary of State before the General Assembly II will proceed to the election of State-House . j Officers. , [ And on motion to agree thereto, the Yeas .; were 47, Nays 59, viz : . j YEAS—Messrs.
