wMch are herewith most respectfully sub
mitted.— Also, a printed synopsis of the
Charter marked A. arid an address to the
citi/.ons <>( Georgia, in July last, marked B.
also, a communication to the members of
the Legislature, at the late session marked
C. to which is annt x -tl a list of ihe coun
ties, (thirty) and their population, amoun'-
in;;, by 'he late census, to two hundred and
seven thousand two hundred and six y-se
ven souls, most immediately to be beorfi'ed
by opening the port ot Brunswick, as an
exporting and importing market ; all of
which are likewise, herewith most respect
fully submitted for the inspection and infor
mation of your honorable body, upon the
subject of the prayers of your memorialists.
A copy of Lieut. Stockton’s report of the
survey of the bar and harbour of Brut s- 1
wick in 1826, -transmitted from the Navy ;
Department, is also submitted.
From the documents above referred to, (
your honorable h dy will he enabled to ar
rive at the importance of the object and (
prayers of your memorialists.
Should Brunswick become a naval s f a(iou
and rendezvous, for which she seems to be ;
dearly destined by nature, the Rail-Road,
though short, may be said to partake still |
more of a national character, and an appro
priate enterprise for the fostering ca-e and '
co-operative aid of the General Govern (
men', which will open that port to an ex- 1
tensive anti fertile interior of the United 1
S'atea, and, not only produce renovating i
and lusting benefits to Agriculture ami i
Commerce, hu: through which vessels of the -
Navy may, at all times, receive supplies, ,
cheap and abundant.
From authentic documents it is ascer- ,
tained that eighty thousand bales of cotton, |
for one article, descended the Altamaha ri- (
ver the past year, and one hundred thous
and bales will have descended the same ri- 1
ver the present year.
The increase of produce and consump
tion of that division of the State, has been 1
at an average of 20 per cent for die last
•five years and still increasing.—One hun- 1
died thousand bushels of salt, for one arti
cle, will be consumed in that region of Geor
gia during the year 1832.
Should jour honorable body decline to
authorise ‘he subscription to the balance of
the stock us prayed for, then, in that case,
your memorialists pray that the Honorable
the Secretary of the Treasury, may he au
thorised to loan to the aforesaid Riil Road
Company, twenty thousand dollars for three
years, at an interest of six per cent, and to
receive, us security, a bond and mortgage
upon the .two hundred shares of the Rail-
Road stock, and include as many lots in the
Town of Brunswick in the said mortgage
as may,fie deemed an ample and bona-fide
security-—the interest to be paid annually,
in advance ; and, that your honorable b.dy
will be pleased to hear and grant a part or
file whole of tiro prayers of yum
alisiS, they, as m duty bound will ever
nrfiT, s»c.

air herself also. On Sunday, the “Court

his Majesty took an airing of two hours. On
Monday, the Dutchess of Gloucester took
her turn, and indulged in a carriage airing;
on Tuesday, Lord and Lady Petre. Lady
Julia Petre and Miss Petre, made a job of

CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AT] OUST A :
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY i<>, ftrtv
THE Superior Court adjourned on Wednesday
last.
Dull times for the Profession—- hut a single case
whs relumed to tlie last infeiioi'Couii.
Alabama has established a separate Supreme
Court of three Judges. Would to God—Georgia
would see tier own Hue interests and do likewise 1
We under-laud Mr. Forsxtu was engaged in the
Vi in Boren Debate, and made a splendid speech.
He is said to enjoy a high reputation as an Orator
and Statesman—with all parties.
By a vote of 93 to 96, 48,000 was stricken from
the apportionment Hill and 44,000 adopted as the
ratio. If the Bill shall so pass, the House will have
259 members—-and we believe Georgia, two more.
It is amusing to read the speeches of the grave
Senators who rejected Mr. Vai» Buber’s nomina
tion. They are all deeply penetrated with Vise de
licacy of their situation —they have no malice to
wards Mr. Van —not they—but they feel for the
dignity of their country —and most reluctantly—
and for weighty—most v-eighty reasons are they
constrained to advise the President against the no
mination. After such exordia the reader is prepar
ed to expect something extravagantly strong in the
way of reasoning— but after toiling through the oft
repeated story of “ prostrate dignity and party de
votedness”—he will, if he have but half an eye,
discover that Mr. Van Buren—party man though he
be— has been condemned by a parly—and that par
ty composed of a happy combination of Nullifers
and National liepublicans. Mr. Calhoun and Mr.
Clay “ have doubled teams” upon the Minister and
put him down. Will they keep him down ’—lsa
question for this high minded country to answer.
We proceed to extract from one of the Anti- Van
speeches, the offensive paragraphs in die Ex Secre
tary’s correspondence with our Minister at the
Court of St. James—the head and front of his of
fending--those horrible sentences for which as
some of the “ potent signiors” have it—he should
be—and has been—as far as their votes could do it,
consigned to perpetual shame. The subject is the
Colonial Trade—the bare mention of which brings
to mind the brilliant victory achieved by the pre
sent administration— and m which Mr. Van Bnren
so largely participated—the passages are these :
“ The opportunities which you have derived from
a participation in our public councils, as well as
oilier sources of information, will enable you to speak
wilh confidence (as tar as you may deem it proper
and useful so to do) of the respective parts taken by
those to whom the administration of this Government
is now committed, in relation to the course hereto
fore pursued upon the subject of the colonial trade.
Their views upon that point have been submitted tc
the People of the United States; ‘*"- 1
uy w:n-, n yum c,millet .is now directed are the re
suit of die judgment expressed by the only earthly
.tribunal to which the late administration was amen
able for its acts. It should be suthciciu that tin
claimssetup by them, and which caused the inter
ruption of the trade in quest ion, have been explicit
)y abandoned by those who first asserted them, and
are not revived by their successors. If Great Britain
deems it adverse to tier interests to allow ua to par
ticipate in the trade with her colonies, and finds
Homing in the extension of it to others to induce her
:to apply the same rule to us, she will, we hope, be
I sensible of the propriety of placing her refusal on
those grounds. To set up the acts of the laic ad
ministration as the cause of forfeiture of privileges
which would otherwise be extended to the People
of the United Slates, would, under existing circum
stances, be unjust in itself, and could not tad to ex
cite their deepest sensibility. The lone of feeling
which a course so unwise and untenable is calculi
ted to produce would doubtless be greatly aggrava
ted by the consciousness that Great Britain lias, by
Order in Council, opened her colonial ports to Kus
sia and France, notwithstanding a similar omission
on their part to accept the terms offered by the act
of July, 1825- You cannot press this view of the
subject too earnestly upon the consideration of the
British ministry. It has bearings and relations that
reach beyond the immediate question under dis
cussion.”
“ I will add nothing as to the impropriety of suf
sering any feelings that find their origin in the past
pretensions of this Government to have an adverse
influence upon the present conduct of Great Bri
tain.”
Now is it not almost incredible, that within the
compass of these few words is to be found the
strongest ground relied on for the Ministers defeat !
I We cannot say we admire the tone and manner of
, the extract ,- a just criticism would perhaps strike
out the word “ privileges ” and put in “ rights,”
and perhaps some other term might be substituted
for “ pretensions.”—Mr. Van Buren might have o
muted too, to dwell upon the tortuous policy of hit
fallen foes, and drawn a veil over the family quar
rels of the Republic. But in the name of common
sense and common justice, are there any errors in
these paragraphs sufficiently enormous to justify the
Senate in rejecting a most distinguished man—a fa
1 vurite {aye—there was the rubJ of the President—
who was at the moment of his discomfiture conduct
1 ing a delicate negotiation at a foreign Uourt f Cm
elly it is said, never wants a crime to punish—anc
1 they who have thus swolen the molehill into s
mountain—who have fretted and raved against Mar
tin Van Buren as a man devoted to party— havt
been peradventure long—long determined upon hii
downfall whenever a fit opportunity should be pre
seated for accomplishing it. They are themselvei
a party anxious to shove “the Hero” and “ the ma
gician”—from their stools that the "Nullifier” ant
the ‘‘Tariffile” may warm the same seats,
f Bullet us go on with a few extracted reason;
, from some of these speeches ; Mr. Foote—so little
addicted to sneaking himself and yet the cause o!
t 1 an much speaking in others —pronounced the afore
, said paragraphs to be degrading and disgraceful he
1 cause he said it was “ our pride and glory that in
all bar diplomatic intercourse we have never ad
t
' miffrr/our country Se in the wrong.” Timm
new kind of glory and pride which we trust our
young diplomat int i wilier/and profit by. Though
their country may be wrong, it is their duty never
to admit Iter to be so, and if it comes in the way,
they may defend die Alien and Sedition Laws ot
any 0110-r departure ft in c 'nstiuitiond rectitude,
‘ with a jrnifect propriety. Now- wc are toy our
countp right or wrong but that morality is cei
" tainl) equivocal which requires us to insist that she
jis right when v.e know her to lie wrong! —Mr
» W -lister late opposed to Mr. Calhoun and Mr
t Hay no, hot who wrought so kindly with them in
• this business ; dwells upon the quotation we have (
'made, and disputes facts on which the F.x-Secrtia- ,
I ry relied. Let ns hear him upon one of these, and
• we shall see what misconceptions may possess a
r mind, confessedly above the common level.
| “ The Secretary proceeds. “ Their views, (that '
is, the views of the present administration,) upon t
Vthal point, have been submitted tothe people of the '
; United States i and the counsels by which your
. conduct is now directed, are t.be result ofthejudg
| ment expressed by the only earthly tribunal to which
the late administratrun was amenable for its acts.”
“Now', Sir, in the first place, there is very little
reason to suppose that the first part of this paragraph
■; is true, in point of fact. I mean that pun wliich
. intimates that the change of administration war
brought about by public disapprobation of Mr. A
jdam’s conduct, respecting the subject of the colo
!,nial trade. Possibly, so much was then said, on a
■(subject which so few understood, some degree of
i impression may have been produced by it. But
be assured. Sir, another cause will be found, by
! future historians, for this change ; and that cause
‘(will be the popularity of a successful soldier, united (
I .with a feeling, made to be considerably extensive, [
t .lbat the preferences of the people in his behalf bad j
. not been justly regarded, on a previous occasion. (
There is. Sir, very little ground to say', that "the i
■ only tribunal to which the late administration was
' amenable,” has pronounced any judgment against it
• for its conduct on the whole subject of the colonial
5 trade,”
. I We do believe that Mr. W. mistakes the fact,
I-and that Mr. Adams would have continued in office'
• j !
t other four years but for the measures of his ad
| ministration and the principles he professed—which
i were utterly disapproved by a vast majority of the
; American people !—Mr. Clay made, as maybe well
a most disinterested and impartial speech !
• |Oh —hsw sorry he was that he was forced to vote a
s gainst a gentleman, between whom and himself the
j relations of courtesy and civility had existed—it was
( very painful—but stern necessity and all that— and
e so be talked as Mr. Webster had bone, about the
s colonial trade—and said what he could to justify the
unsuccessful policy pursued by Mt. Adams’ admin
u istration and under his own direction.-—After scve.
_l ral other speeches, Mr. Poindexter addressed a real
u oration to the Senate—full of flourish & flowers, and
sjimages—he too objected to the opening of the West
k,lndia Trade—but added a multitude of reasons
Mto fortify the vote he was to give. We wonder if
(plliey will be satisfactory in Mississippi -Me object
> eil to Mr. Van Boren because he flattered the Pre
Hsidenl’s weaknesses and nourished bis prejudices—
°lbroke ud Cabinet councils—led the * ' u,cncr * l
. jto excesses and errors ; and finally dissolved the
ly [Cabinet itself !--Mr, Miller followed—and many rea
1- sons and topics did he discuss—some few of (hem
• we venture to glance at. He said the President
t was a native Mr. M's own District—that his father
d was his friend. [Did Mr, M. not think of the sacred
II injunction of scripture, “Thine own and thy fathers
| s; friend—forsake not !”] And that the President had
, r taught his elder brothers and sisters their—A. B. C.
e He insisted that Gov. Hamilton should have been
'hone of the Cabinet—it would have been a most feli
appointment—his talents, fine manners and
Jmanly bearing might have sustained the administra
i-|tion; but South Carolina was skipped over—because
I- tthe Vice President resided there. He informed the
j*'Senate that Van Burenism was introduced into S.
t . Carolina in 1830—by preconcert, “by a leak from
y the mountains and a wave from the shores at the
1 same time”—and he said the Union Party in Charles
.'J'toni is composed chiefly of Adams men, {who follow
e for patronage the successive changes of Presidents
eas the sun flower does the Sun. The Senator went
lt on to say that his patriotism prompted him to go for
I (South Carolina against the United States, and the
p U. States against the world ! He objected that the
n Ex-Secretary had introduced boys of 16 or IT into
e office—that he favored the proscription system, had
'".left a regency here in his interest—had established
“the Globe”—and finally he held Mr. Van Buren
6 responsible—but we will Just quote what the Sena
e .
( tor says—
_| “And shall we not retaliate ? I hold the nominee
II responsible for this breach in our ranks. Nay, more,
e I hold him responsible for the unredeemed pledges
” made to the public, pending the last Presidential
j canvas. What were they ‘ One term of service as
President, retrenchment of public expenditure, no
official tampering with the press, to perpetuate the
1B dynasty, no selection of members of Congress for,
r- 1 offices of profit; public expectation on these topics :
n -has not been realized. 1 excuse a generous confi
ding President, and hold the wily subtile Minister
and his subalterns liable for the failure. 1 will pay
e a portion of my share of the debt bytputtingmy
i~ veto on this appointment.”
-| He who reads these speeches will rise from them,
t- with a sense of the ridiculous mingling with hia
“ mortification. Never was important conclusion so'
d feebly sustained by argument ! Such speeches will
a never satisfy the People !
'«| FIRE.—An alarm of Fire occurred in this town
is on Sunday morning lan, about two o’clock. It
proceeded from the stable on the lot occupied by
Dr. T. K. Lamar. Fortunately, it w»» timely dis
:s covered by the patrol, and extinguished, without I
a doing much injury. Had it been uiidiscovered a i
id few minutes longer, the dwelling home of Dr, L.
and probably otliers, would have been consigned
;to the flames. It was evidently an incendiary at-j
18 tempt to fire the town.
