A UG USTA~
FRIDAY. APRIL £3. 1830.
Tas Georgian states that the Post Office at Sun
bury, in this State is re-opened, and that Olivku
Stephens, Esq. has been appointed Post Master.
JVom the same paper we learn that the office at
Newington, in Effingham county, is closed by the!
resignation of the Post Master, and that letters in ,
tended for that place should be sent to Jackson
* borough, in Scriven county, being the nest near
est office.
Mr. VVai.sk, of Georgia, has given notice that
he will move a Resolution establishing a Congres
sional Printing Office—from the superintendency i
of which editors of newspapers are to be wholly
excluded. |
IT is remarkable that those who have been main
ly instrumental in achieving the liberties of th?
American and Grecian States, should bo so oppo- ]
site in their principals, and in the drift and tendency ',
of their characters. Washington in the Northern;,
Colonics, Bolivar in the South ; Ypsilanti, Coloco- ,
troni and Mavrocordato in the States of Greece, are ,
all looked upon as the instruments by which the li- \
beral systems they had projected were, after much j
adverse fortune, finally consumated. Liberty was
the ostensible object for which these leaders sue- *
cessively reared their standards, and with a greater (
or less degree of success, they have all been ena- t
bled to execute their commissions. The United 1
Slates with her free institutions, and improved sys- j
terns remain as an index which proudly points to <
the glorious event of the labours of Washington— t
they stand as a test which im-ontrovertibly proves ’
that the purest and most incorruptible patriotism J
was ihe mainspring of those actions which resulted >
in his own imperishable glory, and in the lasting.U
berty of his country. The severest scrutiny, even
when dictated by envy, hatred, or malignity has
failed to discover any thing which in the course of a
long, crowded and eventful life of toil and danger
could for a moment dim the pure lustre of .a name
which stands without the fear of rivalry. Washing- t
ton was not only a warrior, a statesman, and a pa- <
trios, but he was also a man in whom all the domes- I
tic virtues centered, and at A otne, as a private citi
)]
zen, he lost none of the attractions which office *
and power had conspired to throw around him. | 1
In the South, with different materials, and it may ; |
be with different intentions, Rolivar has shaken oflfl,
the chain which the Spanish King would fain haven
woven about the necks of his countrymen. He'|
and his coadjutors set Ferdinand at defiance, and -,
although the independence of the South American ! I
States have never been formally acknowledged, j(
yet in effect they are independent of Spain, -and |
have now nothing to fear for the less of their liberties I
but tbeir own treachery to (heir own cause. 801 - <
var is essentially a soldier, skilful! and daring— *
bred in a camp, used to war’s alarms, and if we 1
have rightly conceived of him, impatient of any
situation wherein every energy is not called inter
play, or where civil qualifications are more requis-l
ite than those of a belicose character. Shall we; J
write him also a patriot ? Shall we say he is decid" i
ed in his love of country, or shall we denounce him j j
as wavering between the duty he owes to his state, I (
and die gaudy, glittering attractions of a crown ? ]
“ Fame sounds the heroic syllable both waysat j
one moment report proclaims him to the world as, f
Simon the Ist, Emperor of Colombia, and at ano- ,J
ther, Bolivar voluntarily disrobes him of the power! a
which had been conferred on him by the Congress, i c
and repels with all the indignation of a pure repub
lican the insinuation that he secretly sighs within: 3
his heart for the diadem and the purple. ! *
. c
In Greece, Demetrius Ypsilanti headed the re-
volution, and although success may be said to have c
attended the arms of the insurgents, yet it may not
be attributed to the intervention of the Prince, who !j
is characterized as a weak, wavering, and credu
lous man, infirm of purpose, and long subject to'
the capricious control of an inferior in rank. This l
inferior was Colocotroni, a fierce, rapacious and uu- j
principled captain, devoted neither to liberty nor ,
his country, but to himself and his private fortune, I
He is said to have unsheathed his sword to replen- 1 '
ish his failing coffers, not to redress the wrongs'
which the Turks had inflicted upon his country, j
In the course of their revolutionary struggle Ypsi-1 s
lanti became impoverished, but Colocotroni, whoi I
had not laid seige to the rich and fortified cities of
the Morea in vain, was in full fortune and enabled
by his pecuniary resources to lead his superior, and i
upon certain occasions, even to dictate to him, and 8
not unfrequently in the roughest way. ,
Mavrocordato and Cantacuzeni, were inferior
chiefs, and perhaps, if the accounts we have receiv
ed of them be correct, entitled to more credit on
the score of principle than either Ypsilanti or Colo
cotroni. The war waged between the Greeks and ,
Turks was one of extermination, in which no sex -
nor age was remembered, but men, women and
children, indiscriminately fell a sacrifice at the re- f
volutionary alter. Indeed these chiefs, if fame has
not belied them, are better adapted for leaders of
banditti than the conductors of a revolution, which
has succeeded more from the force of circumstances
and principle than from any excellence or exertion
on the part of its conductors. We fear that Leo
paid, of Saxe Cobourg, if he undertakes the govern
ment of the Greeks, must purify their character of
much that is opposite to true liberty before he can
render them capable of appreciating that blessing.
These facts are curious, and serve to show that
wherever there is oppression nothing is requisite
but the stirring up of the waters, & that though the
he frennentlv unworthv the end. vet the
‘ icause of freedom often sanctifies the violent ex.
cesses of revolution.
South America ami Greece have reason to rejoice
at their present liberation, if not freedom-the
. shackles which they wore we re more rigorous-ahd
degrading than those which bound the British tolo
. nies, and therefore anv relief was calculated to bet.
ter their civil condition. The inhabitants of those
i countries were, and still are far behind the people
of these States in the lights of knowledge, & sense
i < l ucntl y >" ‘he capability to enjoy evil and religious
.liberty, and on that account rlie means, the manner,
the conductors, and the results of their revolutions
have been essentially different from those of the
United States. It will be in vain for them to insti
;fute a comparison between the condition of the peo
ple of this country, & of their respective States, and
the result would be more than discreditable to them,
were they to ask for a parallel between the char
acters and public services of Geoboe Washirotow,
Simos Bolivar, and Demetrius YrsiiAWTi.
i Several cases of Hydrophobia have recently oc
curred in Nashville, Tennessee.
There is a Mr. Hart, from London, at present in
Philadelphia, who advertises that upon a certain
night, in the Walnnt atroet Theatre, he will take a
red hot bar of iron from the fire and beat it out
with his teeth, equal to a blacksmith, and that he
will make a repast from a dish of blazing balls of
fire ! Mr. Hart must Ise of the Salamander breed, j
At a public meeting in Fauueil Hall, Boston, it was'
unanimously i
Resolved, That the, citizens now assembled “in I
that Cradle in which the infancy of American Liber-;
ty was rocked,” feel great pride and pleasure in ex
pressing their grateful sense of the distinguished;
public services of the Hon. Daniel Webster J—That
tire course taken by him, on a recent prominent oc
casion, meets their entire approbation:—And that
they most cordially approve of that sentiment which
induced him to believe that the interests of any par
ticular portion of our community are best promoted
by supporting the integrity 0 f the union of the
whole.

THE STATE OF ALABAMA. >
Pike County. J
SPRING TERM, CIRCUIT COURT, 1830.
The Grand Jurors for the county of Pike,
on their oaths, Present ; That Philip Wa
ger, a Brevet Major in the service of the
United States, and now stationed at Fort
MitChell, aiftha* part of what is termed the
Creek Indian nation, and novlf part of the
county of Montgomery, on the 10th of
March, A D. 1830, by hie proclamation,
thea and there issued and made public, by
which said proclamation the said Wager,
without any lawful authority, commanded
all white persons, not having permits or In
dian wives, within the space of fifteen days
to leave the said country, once known as the
Creek Indian nation. And the said Wa
ger, aforesaid, by means of his said ,procla
mation, has created such fear and confusion
among the white settlers in that part of the
county of Pike, oftce known as a part of the
Creek Indian nation, as operates material
ly to (heir injury and the wslfare of the
.county of Pike. > '
• And the Grand Jurors aforesaid further
present, that there is no law to authorize
the said Philip Wager issuing his aforesaid
proclamation. 'They further present, that
the-Legislature of Alabama, by an act pass
ed in the year 1829, incorporating the Creek
Indians among the citizens of this State,
and annexed their alleged territory to dif
ferent counties in this State.—That the ;
State of Alabama, as a sovereign State, has
alone thrfe right to interfere with any white
citizen who may be Settled in any part of
said country—That the said Philip Wager,
and the soldiers icider his command, are,
themselves, while they remain in the said j
country, once known as the Creek Indian i
nation, citizens of this State, and owing ex
clusive allegiance to it—And that the said
proclamation is against the laws, the peace
and dignity of the State of Alabama.
