members of Congrcfs who
think with them, before we
adventure into the hazadous
and probably tempdtous sea
of new principles. Georgia
has lately been represented
in Congress by an undivided
ticket, composed of men
tried in their country’s ser
vice, and proven to be fun
damentally found in their
principles ; if then any of
thole faithful servants de
cline serving their country
again, let the people look to
their interests, and beware
how they ad, lelt in their
zeal to serve their friends
they fully the purity and
republican character of our
Rate.
Messrs. Starnes & Co.
By giving the following
lilt of candidates to repre
sent the State of Georgia in
the Congress of the U. S.
at the ensuing election, you
| will much oblige a
Subscriber.
Dodor Bibb, Republican,
Howell Cobb, Rep.
George M. Troup, Rep.
Bowling Hall, Rep.
Elijah Clarke, Federal,
John Forfyth Fed.
John Elliott Fed.
From the above lilt it
would seem that the Fe
deralilts intend making a
formidable Hand at the en
suing election. The mino
rity men have transfufed
new life over the despairing
spirits of their party, like
the criminal smarting un
der the scourge of julticc
smiles with: ferocity at the
appearance of a new bravo.
Citizens of Georgia ! awake
j from your torpor —“ A
wake ! arise ! or the Philis
tines ‘will he upon you."
It has been too much the
cullom among lome peo
ple of Georgia, never toen
| quire into the political prin
ciples of the man whom
they are going to support.
* I intreat you fellow-citi
j zens * to look before you leap.'
j Enquire who are the can
didates, and what their po
litical principles, and their
motives. The federalills 6c
minority men, or in other
words a set of disappointed
office hunters, who havedil
! paired of obtaining by fair
| honorable means the objed
which they fetout in search
of, and now byway of re
taliation are devising pro
jects to sap the foundation of
our government. I fay the
federalifts and those minority
men have combined their
forces for the purpole of
wrefling from our present j
republican rulers their pow
er, & placing it in the hands
of federalills. It is vou fel
low-citizens who are ac- j
countable for the choice of a j
bad member, and it is you
alio that enjoy the bleif- j
ings derived from the elec
tion of a good one. When
those characters are menti
oned as fit perl'ons to repre
sent you, call to remem- |
brance the administration of t
Mr. Adams; the (lamp-act,
the enormous volume of tax
es with which the citizens
of America were laden—the j
/edition bill that deprived
/%. cf the poor privilege
of complaint—the fraticidal i
military weapons that glif- |
tened in your faces to awe j
you into fubmiluon, and ask
yourielves if you wifli to

We are at length enabled
to announce with certainty
the arrival of the John A
dams, at Annapolis, after a
long and boiflerous paflage.
She left Havre the 24th of
April, & met withalmofla
constant fucceflion of weti>
crly winds during the voy
age.
Captain Fenwick, the
bearer of defpatches from
France, arrived in this city
lalt evening. The contents j
of the dispatches have not |
transpired.
We learn from Capt. Fen
wick, that Gen. Armitrong,
our minister in France, had
proposed returning to the
U. States in the John A-
I dams, but had found lierac
commodation inconvenient
for his family. It was un
derstood that he had taken
his passage in a vessel to fail
from Bordeaux, and indeed
that part of the baggage had
been already forwarded to
that place.
Captain Fenwick brings
no continental news of im
portance, which has not
been anticipated by other
arrivals.

SpaniJJo America—Declared
Independent.
By the arrival of the brig
Thomas, capt Ingram, from
Cumana, we have been po
litely favored with the fol
lowing important (late pa
per, Blued by the fupremc
government of Carraccas,
which we hasten to lay be
fore our readers:
Declaration oj Independence.
It has pleased Almighty
God to grant toevery coun
ty alike the natural right
of its own fovercignty,
These provinces, planted
by Spain, foftcred and pro- j
tected by her power, have
and of the right ought to
have lubmitted to her gui
dance and direction during
the period of their infancy,
when from imbecility and
weakness they were incapa
! ble oftheirown government
and protection.
But Spain, deprived of her
king by the unparalellcd
pertidy of the Emperor of
the French, her European
date vanquished by his
treachery and by his arms,
and the ancient lawful and
acknowledged government
of the country dellroyed by
the violent outrages of his
sanguinary policy, there ex
! ids neither reason, right nor
judicc for continuing our
dependence on a powet that
has noexiftence but memo
ry ; policy and felf preser
vation therefore demand that
we fliould provide for our
common fafety and the pro
| teCtion of these provinces by
j taking into our own hand
| the natural sovereignty of
the country.
The period has at length
arrived when these United
Provinces poffcls both the
strength and the power to
protect themselves. With a
population of nine millions |
of inhabitants, with an ex
tent of fertile territory lupe
rior to any empire on the
globe, and abounding with
all the riches that bounteous
nature ever bellowed on the
human race, it would be
contrary to found polioy, in
the prel’ent state of the world
to submit, and we are deter
mined no longer to submit to
the denomination of any Euro
pean or foreign power what
ever.
For whilst a lawful gov
ernment exiflcd in Spain,
jand her legitimate king fat
j upon her throne, we have
ever been loyal to his per
son and faithful to his gov
ernment, and our treasures
have been the only liipport
of the European Monarchy I
&c its allies, whilst we have
been diltrefled by a war in
which we had no interest
whatever, and our country
drained of those riches which
nature has bellowed upon
the inhabitants of America,
for their own happiness,
l'upport and defence.
Under these considerations
1
and to prevent the inevitable
and ruinous consequences of
falling under the yoke of the
Emperor of the French, the
tyrant of Europe, and the
oppretibr of Spain —We the
Spanilh provinces in Ame
rica declare ourselves a free
fovercign and independent
people, not acknowledging
the dominion of any power
on earth, refuting lubmifli
on, and denying and repell
ing the authority of whate
ver nation may attempt do
minion over us. This we
■ unanimously engage and
pledge ourselves to maintain
and support with our lives ,
r our fortunes and our sacred
• honors , calling upon every
inhabitant in the provinces
to aid and iupport in carry
jing into effect this, our lau
dable -And just rcfolution, &
eftabliftiingHor ourselves &
our posterity a free, equita
ble and independent govern
ment, that lliall secure our
happiness & give us a place
of honor and refped among
the independent nations ot
the earth. And we do ear
nestly entreat all foreign na
tions to acknowledge and
guarantee our independence,
and to favor us with fiich
alliance & aftiltance as may
enable us to defeat the de
signs of the enemies of our
country.
By thus disavowing our
dependence on Spain, we
solemnly ip peal to Heaven
for the rectitude of our in
tentions, and we do protest
before the sacred rnajefty of
God himfelf, that in all our
measures we have ever been
actuated by motives pure &;
honorable, and that vve have
no other dcli"n in view than
O
the preservation of ourselves
and the protection of our
common country. And we
do most humbly fupplicatc
that being who decides thp
fate of nations, to smile on
our exertions, and to bless
and protect this, our new ef
tablilhed empire.
COMMUNICATION.
DIED fudder.lv in Columbia county oft
Sunday the t7th indant, Mr. JOHN MAC*
INTO-iH, a native of Scotland i though long
a resident of Georgia. He left two
beautiful female children to bemoan the loft,
and to mi fa the cardies of a dilating parent
Mr. Maeintorti was well known in thia
and the adjoining Hate, having been long
engaged in an executive mercantile concern
in Savannah.
To draw the character of this good and
amiable man would require the pen of geni
us, but we all know that he was univcrfally
admired by those who can appreciate real
worth : pafTefled of talents that coalman*
ded rcfpeiß, united with unfltaken integrity.
He was a liable in his manners, cheerful in
his difpoiition, and kind to an extreme—a
gentleman, a scholar and a deadfad friend.
In the fincercr movements of his loul so ge
nerous was he that he would patronize the
poor even if fliades of deformity obkured
their chara&ers, and who will doubtlcfs <
treat his memory with ingratitude and ne
gleid. Still the memory of Mr. Macintofli
will becheriflicd by the good of every party
or denomination who were acquainted
him. If he had failings, (and who among us
I are found altogether without them ?) they
were at lead of that denomination that could
injure no one but himlelf, and in charily ws
ntay draw a veil over them— no failings
which Mr. Macintt fit would commit could
tarnish the fptendour of his virtues.
