rnhSk-of thesn assailants themsel
deserved tribute of admiration.
If any thing was Wanted to give a high
finish to his character, it was exhibited in
the closing scene of his public life. Unwil
ling to expose his after conduct to suspicion
by accepting an oftjee from his successful
rival, and not having the vanity to believe
his individual services necessary to the due
administration of the government, he deter
mined, in spite of all solicitations to the con
trary, to retire to private life, as the only
course compatible with his notions of pro
priety and honor. Compelled by circum
stances to abandon the field to his political
enemies, and suffering under the scorpion
stings of unrelenting persecution, aggrava
ted by bodily disease, ho never for a mo
ment forgot his country : on the contrary,
all his personal feelings were merged in his
love for her welfare, and his worst wish for
tliose who had defeated and attempted to de
grade him, was. that “ they might be judged
by tlieir measures
It was to have been expected that much
importance would be attached to the opinion
of such a man on the all-engrossing subject
of the next presidency. This expectation
has been realized, and the administration
have manifested no little exultation in an
nouncing what, if true, would be good for
tune to them, that this opinion was in their
favour. A late National Advocate contains
a letter, purporting to be from Milledgeville
(Georgia,) the writer of which professes to
have an intimate knowledge of the politics
of that state, and asserts vmth confidence,
and apparently ou authority, that Mr. Craw
ford is in favour of the re-election of Mr,
Adams ; and that in conjunction With the
Clark party, he will carry the vote of that
state for the present incumbent. An exten
sivc circulation has been given to this letter,
through the medium-of the presses devoted
to the administration. It attributes senti
ments to Mr. Crawford which he does not
entertain ; and this act is the less excusable
because his known character for frankness
precludes the probability that there can be
an holiest misapprehension of his sentiments
His opinions on political subjects are as free
as the air he breathes, and as often publish
ed as the occasions for speaking them unoh
trusively, are presented. He does notbelonsr
to that tribe of cunning politicians, who oc
cupy themselves in the early progress
each succeeding contest, in watching the
movements of the waters, hut never embark
their precious fortunes till they see or think
they see the perils past, and a broad and
steady current that will float them peacefully
into a haven of safety. Such narrow views
and mean motives never find a resting place
in minds like Mr, Crawford’s. It is an act
of justice to himi to state, and we do so mi
the most direct and unquestionable authority r
ihat it is not (me that he is in favour of tfit:'
■y re-election of Mr. Adams. To leave no room
Yor misapprehension as to his sentiments in
thisyespect, he sometime since, by letter,
apprized a member of the cabinet, ofliis de
termination to oppose Mr. Adams. Mr.
Crawford will unite with the great body of
the old republicans in the support of Andrew

of their principles, baabeeri the law of

1816, Srtion t the presidency was
power ; ..but he waved his pretentions to it
then in deferent to the understood ^washes
of the republican party. He was ready to do
so in/1824. Ifat either periodjie had been
elected, we should not now have had the
mortification to Witness the re-establisbment
of those principles, and the restoration of
those men to power, that were overturned
by the political revolution of 1800, nor
should we have seen that party, which under
the auspicious administrations of Jefferson
and Madison gave practical effect to the
great principles of the revolution, now shorn
of its strength and degraded in its condition.
Though he did not command success, he
achieved more than those who did—he de
served it; and he deserves the affections

Constantinople, May 26.—The Drogo-
mnns of the Russian and English Ambas
sadors since their last conference, of which
the result was known, have had new con
sultations with the Reis Effendi. The lat
ter party has still spoken of propositions of
peace, and of Lord Cochrane; and repeated
iiis former declarations. On the 9th, M.
de Ottenfels, internuncio of Austria, trans
mitted to the Porte a note, which had been
brought from Vienna, and the object of
which was to counsel the Porte to accept
the propositions of Russia and England.—
But the Porte evaded giving to the two
Courts any other answer than that which is
already known x because they evidently fear
by doing so, to acknowledge thereby a right
of interference.—There is great curiosity to
hear what measures the Courts of London
and Paris will take. It is a remarkable fact
that the Porte seems disposed to accom
plish with exactitude the terms of the Con
vention of Ackerman, as it is said with con
fidence that a firman is immediately to be
dispatched to the principalities of Moldavia
and Wallachia, placing matters on a footing
strictly conformable to the treaties.

order, and the districts and counties in which, the
drawers resided at the time they gave in their draws,
will be inserted in the Register. It will be an exact

the matter in type nearly as fast as 1 furnish it, and
he has already commenced.'

to the population in the respective counties, very

inganidle hour, we allude to Billiards, sod other
such,practices, which serve to lure the citgjpbs into
habits of idleness- If idleness is the mother of vice
and crime, then all establishments promotive ofldle-
ness, arc promotive of vice and crime; a nd these last
will ruin the happiness of any country.' When those
who stand high in the community, resort to such
plans for amusement, and who are enabled, from
ther affluence, thus to dissipate their time, they
ought to recollect that man is an imitative being, and
that those who cannot, from their limited circum
stances thus spend their time, will be tempted to do
so from their example. Notwithstanding such
amusements afford a great source of vice and dissi
pation, yet we find a community professing to be
virtuous, allowing and countenancing Two billiard
establishments to be located in the town of \Vat-
kinsrille, to which not only the young, but the old
resort. Our own observation also tells us that a
large portion of the crimes and misdemeanours
which come before Grand Juries have their starting
place from the various grog shops in the county.
We deem it therefore proper to request our Repre
sentatives in the next Legislature, to endeavour to
cut off these fruitful sources of vice and dissipation,
by such means as they in their best judgment may
approve.
We accord with his honour in the opinion that our
Judiciary is defective, and that the present manner
of appointing Justices of the Peace, is of all others
the least calculated to insure impartiality, integrity,
and firmness. They are frequently chosen from lo
cal or private feelings, and without regard to tkcar
qualifications: and when we consider that the largest
share of litigation is for sums under thirty dollars,
and that enmes^ff eveiy description have to be in
quired into by them,"we arrive at reasons wrhich are
weighty, that such persons should be selected with
caution, deliberation, and judgment.
Wc also deplore the uncertainty in the construing
of Laws, arising from a want of a Court of Errors;
and though we fee) unable to recommend in what
manner such a court should be constituted, still we
are convinced of the necessity of a court of this de
scription, and would willingly acquiesce in the crea
tion of such • one as the wisdom of the country may
suggest and adopt.
We also recommend to our fellow citizens gene
rally, the appoinfog of a Convention for the purpose
of reducing the (Amber of our representatives in the
Legislatnre.
Wc find that there is a shameful neglect in the
enforcement of the patrol law, and recommend to
the primer authorities to apply the reined
atety.

NOTICE.
T HE undersigned, in appearing a* the accuser of
his fellow-citizen, Harvey Archer, whose honour
bas been privately forfeited, and is now publicly im
peached, is influenced by no motive except that of
justice to the public. The circumstance out of which
the present accusation bas grown, he will briefly slate,
and leave others to draw their conclusions. Some
time during the early part of January, previous to
the commencing of the drawing of the Land Lottery,
a proposition for a trade between myself and Mr.
Harvey Archer was made, the particulars of which
were as follows—Mr. Archer was entitled to two
draws inthe late Land Lottery; being myself-the
owner of land in Gwinnett county, in a conversation
with him, an exchange of the latter was proposed
and acceded to for the two former. As no obliga-,
tion fn writing could be N considered binding, his
honour was-pledged, in the event of his drawing, to'
give pie.titles to the land, while a like obligation oif
my part, was made to give him a title in, fee simple
to the above tract of land at the expiration of the
drawing, whether he drew or not. The conditions
of the trade were- again assented to after tbe com
mencement of the drawipg, and a second pledge
given in the presepte of witnesses, that it should be
binding. The result pro ting different from what hq
had expected, having became th% fortunate drawer
of tWo tracts, his Amour was sacrificed to interest,
and a positive refusal made to comply with, the con
ditions of a trade for the fulfilment of which his
honour stood pledged. The public is left to judge’
Whether such a transaction entitles the said Archer
to the confidence or respect of honest men.
