pH die papers, We are ‘orry for it-birt this thirst

though an evil of no small magnitude, it bears no
.proportion to the political blessings we enjoy.—
Election. . Elections !We have one eternal cry
ab-nit Elections ! and scarcely is an officer warm
. n his seat before his patriotic opponents are for
turning* him out of place.
frequency ot elections (provided they are not
too frequent) and rotation in office—we approve—
and m relation to ihe Presidency we are quite will
ing to see the old precedent established by Wash
i.jgton adhered to. Eet General Jackson again be
the candidate-why not > Why all this delicacy
about considering the General a candidate the sec
ond time for the Presidency ? We sec no reason
for sensitiveness or hesitation upon the subject.
" e would have ever.' President otter himself a se- 1
ccnd lima to the people. If his administration
stand the test of electioneering scrutiny, harsh and
unjust as that is—let him serve another four
years ; Otherwise, not. It will do no harm for eve
ry President to go in-o office with the understand
mg that he will be once again a candidate—his ad
ministration will be the better for it.
We have heard it.rumoured by travellers from the
interior of the State, that it is probable Governor
Gilmer will call an extra session of the Legislature
some lime before the first of June next, in order to
be advised of the proper course to be pursued by ,
the Executive towards the Indians—lndian lands— !
and the Gold Hunters, These last are said to be
daily trespassing upon the Cherokee territory, and
stripping it ofthe precious metal, which in some
par.s of that country is the only thing w Inch renders
the land of any value at all. Phis body of iand jipa •
in the nor !i west corner of the Slate—is high and
rolling, and although there may he found much
good amt arable land within its borders, yet we ap
prehend its surface is so broken that a few years*
constant pi 'i.ffiing would entirely strip it ofthe soil
which now enriches it.. Therefore, it is, that the
gold upon it is the charm which is to enhance its
value to the Slate, and on this account the Execu
tive is excusable for the solicitude which he is re
ported to tael upon the subject. We understand
that there are hundreds of adventurers from other
States ofthe Union, who have either assumed, or
have purchased from the Cherokces the right to
dig gold within their limits, and accordingly aban
doning agriculture, commerce, and the arts, are
■assiduously searching through rubbish, mud and
mire, for that which philosophers have long since
determined to be the source of all evil. After the 1
tirsl of June ncxi, liuvicvci, .lit: o_ .. :u ~ ,
its arms over these lands, end then its interest in the
soil will be so immediate as to authorise an interfer-l
ence upon the part of the Executive, or the Lcgis-i
latuve, (in case the Governor is not authorized) to
stop the progress and splendid visions and. specula-'
tlons of these seekers after bullion. After all we
cannot help believing it would have been belter for'
the State if the Cherokee country, instead, of a gol
den one, le d been a level and fertile plain, and
fit for all the purposes of agriculture : for the
most veracious travellers have remarked that those*
countries wherein gold mines are most abundant,
are those where tlse most misery, poverty and moral
degradation prevail among the people. Peru is said
to be a notable instance of this—in that country the
moral and political condition of the people is ex
tremely debased, agriculture : s at a low ebb, and
its inhabitants, such as Bishop Itebcr would call
“slavers of the dark and dusty mine” are wallowing
in the sloughs of ignorance and superstition. In
this Spanish vice-royalty there are reckoned to be
TO gold, 700 silver, and four quick silver mines, and
in 1820, the number of inhabitants amounted to:
1,079,122, of which 619,000 were civilized Indians,
and the rest whites, negroes, muiattoes and rnusti
zoes. A motly population ! and yet with all these
inhabitants and an extensive and delightful region
of country to boot, they are obliged to import all
their “ live stock, provisions, fallow, timber, cord
age and pitch.” From these facts it is argued that
gold mines are identified with poverty, and civil
religious slavery. —However, we are happy in an
ticipating results somewhat different from these to
the State of Georgia.
At a meeting of the Council, held yesterday, for
the ’purpose of administering the oath of office to
the members elect, Samuel Hale, Esq. and Messrs.
Dillon, McCombs, Glascock, Barber, Thomas, Har
pes and Hennoch, were duly qualified, and took
their seals. A petition was presented by Alfred
Gumming, one of the candidates in Ward No. 2,
setting forth that.A. H. Pemberton not having been
a citizen seven years, was ineligible, and that the
ttext two highest candidates on the list, above him
self, being similarly situated,, he himself was enli
tied to the seat and claimed to be admitted to it.
The question, after being argued by H. H Cam
ming. Esq counsel for the petitioner, and General
Thomas Glascock on the part of the candidate re
turned, was decided in the affirmative, and the pe
tilion-r took his seat, which he afterwards ivtsigned,
1 stating that not having been elected by a majority
he did not wish to retain it, but had urged his right
for the purpose of testing the question. Phis is
the first time the question has been present- d, a d
want of room does not admit of our explainm.'i- it!
merits, in detail, at the present time. One jf the
two candidates who received a higher number o
votes than Mr. Gumming, has served two pieviom
terms without objection. An appointmentto fit
the vacancy will be maac by the Council at its ncx
session.
An" objection was made by Joshua Danforth t
the right of i). Ki-kpatrick, a candidate returnee
from Ward No I, to 'ake a seat, on in- gr >um
that, Mr. ICirkpalnck had received one illegal rote
r «■" Uw.it I
tve mu s‘n ' k fi. ; ‘ llt - v was decided in the affirm*.J
_ tne, and a new election was ordered. Chrmtoh, I
[Hk are inclined to think that the vacancy occJ
_ * ,OMtd by the tie between Messrs. Kirkpatrick ami I
UanfoNh, should be also filled by the Council ] I
An- Extract from the Speech of Mr, S.'iTruvof 1
’’ Virginia :
‘‘ '‘.' colleague would not follow the example
jot trance and Ungland, m making internal im
! I provenients. The people of those countries are
. depressed, and many of them paupers. Sir, ii was
j ; not the canal of Languedoc that depressed the
j people us France .n llie reign of Louis XIV. That
i great work cost X'5W,900, and was finished in lb
years. It was the perpetual wars of Louis XIV
( | which, in his latter days, w ere disastrous. It was
J that despicable bigotry which drove 509,009 pro-1
I test ants from their country, and scattered their'
| wealth and arts over all Christendom. It was not l
ti e expense ot making canals and roads that dc- !
. pressed the people of England. Canals in Eng. I
land, are but o) recent date ; they arc made by it
- companies j occasionally the government gives a
i small grant. It is the public debt of England that
depresses the people. At the end of the year
1701 it was six millions ; in 1714 it was fifty mil- 1
V,\ n 1775 !t vvaH 135 millions ,in 1784 it was
~ob millions ; it is now perhaps a thousand millions.
I hus we see, that it was the wars of the American •
and French revolutions that have involved England

presses her people. Her hierarchy adds giieVously I
to the burthen. The revenues of the episcopal *
church in England, amount to about 40 millions of 11
dollars, paid to eighteen thousand priests, while
eight thousand other pi fonts receive about two mil-'
lion two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. 1C
is not Ihe expense of internal improvement that 1
has reduced seven thousand of the people of Dub- £
Im, to live on three half pence each a day. In Ire- ™
land seventeen hundred episcopal priests receive:
five millions seven hundred and seventy two thou
sand dollars, extorted from agricultme, while two
thousand seven hundred and thirty eighv other;
priests receive one million and sixty one thousand |
dollars. 1 here is no danger that internal improve- 1
ments will depress the people. j

I One of the strangest circumstances took place
here to-day that I ever heard of. About twelve or -
. one o’clock, a very black cloud came over, from '
. which fell a moderate shower of something that
whs black as ink ; and as the ground was covered
' with snow, I for the first time, saw black snow. '
Since it has dried, the cornstalks are covered with
- something like ashes and gunpowder. The rain'
t was accompanied with a thick smoke, whieh smell- 1
jed like the smoke of stone coal. After the shower'
1 (which lasted but a few minutes) was over, it com
- menced snowing, part of which was likewise black. '
j It has created some little alarm ; some attribute it
to a volcanic eruption. 1
r, Admiral Paul Junes— Miss Taylor, a niece ofthe 1
5 celebrated Paul Jones, has brought to this country :
■ a large quantity of his original papers, journals, \
■ correspondence, &c. bequeathed by the Admiral to
c her mother. We learn that a life ot the distinguish- 1
' ed commander who first hoist ed the American flag i
■ with his own hands, is in rapid preparation, and 1
n will be published for the benefit of this lady. The I
5 materials for the work are abundant and complete, i
- We can have no doubt thatthe forthcoming work
i-will be sought for with avidity. Jones was one of
• the most singular as well as renowned men of his,
i- owner any age ; his brief career of intense activity
d is full of various and almost roman'ic incidents ; and
is intimately connected with the history of his times, |
the police of different courts, and the establish-!
'» ment of our independence. Com Mv
