public officer has violated every part
of it, and however unpleafant it may
be ro Analyticus to have (lie comfort
of his friend brought into view and
laid before the public, he has no

it is much more liberal to give him an
opportunity of clearing this “ fllin
ing luminary" of his, of the charges
cf which he is accufed, if innocent,
titan tolie under the difgrace cf them.
And here let me obferve, I am fort y
to dither with this friend of the Ma
jor’s on fo many points, but, I really
am not forrv that circumftatices have
put it in my power to prove from
the molt inconteftible authority, that
where I have the misfortune to dif-
•f r from him, I am mod indubitably
luppovted by farts, which when la'il
before the public, will convince them
that this great difeovery of Major
dark’s talents is nothing more than

is bafe in the extreme.—Yon lav the
Major has a reverence for the con-
ititution ; I fay he lias not...we are
row at iffue —I now call the atten
tion of the public to the Sd fertion
of the 3d article of the conflitution
which belong toCftffar,” for it is
known fart, whatever is not delegat
ed by the conflitution to the officer,
is retained to themfelves •,—and a-
gain, are not the judges almoft deaf
ened, and the lungs of the fhcrilV
worn out, in calling the profecutcd
into court, and fcarceiy one appears;
what is the rcafon ? The Major has
not done his nuty, the culprits are
not bound as the law diverts, and in
many cafes bench warrants were ne
ver lfl'ucd, but in all thofe cafes, it is
probable, the Major has got his fee,
which is liis Sumum Bcmim. I am
ferry to dwell fo long on this one
point, but this has been the hobby-
horfe on which the Major has been
travelling to congrefs ; I mean by
excufing vice at the expence of vir
tue. But the citizens of Georgia
have difeofered his intrigues, and if
I am not much miflaken, on the firft
Monday in October next, the Ma
jor's horfe will become foundered. ,
I ought to clofe this N° but I
beg the attention of the public to
two more points...The Major was
heard to fay a fmall time pall in pub
lic, that if it was put to the people,
which would they loofe, their confli
tution or commerce, they would fay
go conflitution.—I afk the public, is

pvofecute all-delinquents for crimes ment on the fouth fide of the Oconee
decamp, Sethis ‘‘ fplendid robbery”
is likely to go unpunithed. The,clerk
will tell you & every other pcrUn as
he didme, that you filed both the ori
ginals and copies together...But Mr.
Bitch it feems lias told you that the
copies have been in his pofiefian ma
ny weeks & that Analizer never faw
them—that if there is an error, or
variance between the originals and
copies he does not know it, and it
follows of courfe (I fuppofe) that A-
nalizer cannot. If Mr. Fitch has
told you this improbable and ab-
fitrd tale be has departed from his
ttfual prudence. Was he at the of
fice when you delivered them to the
clerk, and did he then wait until the
convenience of the clerk allowed
him to record them...and did he
then receive the copies from the
clerk neither llccping nor eating, un
til lie had them fecurely lodged in
his packet—It mud be admitted that
he did all this before you can expert
the public to believe a tale • other-
wife) fo improbable.—I have faid
there is ft difference between the ori
ginals and copies ; and you difprove
it by tolling us that if there is a dif
ference Mr.Fitch does not know it...
moll profound, moft irrefiftable and
unanTwerable proof!
The one-ftded certificate which
you introduce from Mr. Fitzpatrick
proves nothing;/). That gentleman in
a public company in Milledgeville,
fir.ee Mr. Veritas bits come out, af-
fttres the public that Analizer is fun
damentally corrert...that in word
ing the certificate which you obtain-
the jefuit—Cui. Jackfon's certificate
only Rates, that he does not know
whether you put the writs in his
hands (for fa ft- keeping) or not, but
if you did they were in an incioled
packet...we are yet to be informed
if this incioled packet was foaled.
The broad hacks of your young
men can bear all the errors which
are committed in your office, and it
is thus you prove your own immacu
lacy—You fay that fuits are gene
rally brought by young men in of
fices...what difference does it make
with me whether my fuit is errone-
oufly brought by you or your young
men...to me the injury h obvioufly
the fame. You endeavor to get over
feme important cafes where you are
charged by Analizer with the want
of p,roper condurt, by introducing
others where you were fuccefsful—
But in the important ejertment of
Holt vs. Jackfon, which you intro
duce in this way, I am allured by
Holt that he could not rely on you,
and that he employed both Skrine
and Strong as additional counfei.
In the fuit Holt vs. Mitchell, I
fobjoin the following certificate from
Cob Holt* ...I know nothing of the
legal talents of Mr Fort, and there
fore (hall fay nothing of them—I
cannot forbear, however, to a (Tort,
that it is altogether improbable that
Holt would have ordered impera
tively a fuit to be brought in fuch
way that he mull inevitably pay the
coft. It is probable that in the whole
annals of law this is the firft 'itne an
