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 <£ :t founding brafs or tinkling fym- 1)01" and that his comfort) as Solicitor 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 of the date of Georgia, where it is I thisa dortrine, a Rate officer and a declared “ there thall be a States- ! candidate for congrefs, ought to in- Atlontey and Solicitor appointed by j cnlcate in the minds of the popu- the l egiflafure—they {hall have fa-j lace—In ibe next place, much is ex it'ies adequate to their frrvicesefta- ! ported from the refpert due the old hliflted by law, which {hall not be! general his father; and true it is, I increafed or diminifiied during their i refperted the old gentleman, becaufe cotfitmanctiu office”—What is their j he was a good whig, but the old ge- o t h ? 1 hry “ fhall (tdrtly perform 1 ner.t! never knew how to appreciate the duties of their office, and fop- the bleflings of peace, however much port the conflitution of the Rtate, may be faid in favor of the dcccafcd ; and the conflitution of the United but at a time when the old general States ”—What is their duty ? " To made an attempt to force a fettle- 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.
