SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1830.
7o the Patrons of the late Statesman b Patriot :
Fellow-Citizens—On the first Tuesday of the pre
sent month, the Prcs3 and apparatus belonging to tbe of
fice of the Statesman & Patriot, lately published in this
place, were sold by the Sheriff, as the property of Borritt
& Meacham, and bought by Henry Soloiflfin, Esq. of
Twiggs county. The Statesman & Patriot has therefore
expired; and I have been engaged to conduct a new pa
per under the style cf The Federal Union. Relying
upon that indulgence and approbation of my labors in a
late paper, so kindly expressed by many of you, I have
ventured to issue the first Number of this paper, without
the formality of a Prospectus and subscription list. Tbe
Federal Union will therefore be sent to you, in order that
those of you, who may be disposed to patronize it, may have
an opportunity of doing so; and that tbe obligations due
to those who have heretofore favored the Statesman with
their advertising patronage, may be discharged, without
interrupting the regular course of their publication.
Such an arrangement of the accounts will be made, as
that those who have paid for the Statesman in advance,
will be entitled to a copy of The Federal Union, up to the
time for which they have paid. These subscribers to the
Statesman & Patriot, who do not give contrary orders,
n ill be considered as subscribers to The Federal Union.
I shall h Jdoutto you no false colors—^no cant about
neutrality of sentiment. The political opinions of the
Editor are too well known, to be disguised. The friends
of The Federal Union are assured that he will always be
found fighting under its flag. He refers them to his past
cour-eas a guarantee for the future.
To all the Republicans throughout the State, he would
make an appeal. Having engaged, with much reluctance
and diffidence, in the further prosecution of his editoral la
hors, he feels it a duty due to hiinsc'.f and his friends, to
sav, that while he will yield to no mnn in a devoted at
tachment to the Union and to bis native state, Georgia,
he will often need their indulgence for the imperfections
of liis performances, hot never, he hones, for the rectitude
of hi3 intentions. That the paper may be made useful in
the dissemination of knowledge and the support of the
true principles of our republican Constitutions, the most
unremitting support by pecuniary patronage, and intellec
tual contributions, are warmly solicited. It is by these
alone that such an estab’ishment can be supported. He
feels no falsa delicacy therefore in informing his friends
snd frllow-c.tizens, that these alone can induce him, con
sistently with;,the interests of a growing family, to remain
in ihe editorial department. A sense of duty to you has
in 'ucedhim to remain in his present situation. 8bould
these contributions b, withheld, though he may regi e the
cause, he will return, with more of pleasure than reluc
tance, to .the exclusive pursuit of a profession equally
hotiorabie and lucrative.
JOHN G. FOLHILL.
JOB printing.
NEATLY EXECUTED AT THIS OFFICE^
ICJ 6 The accounts due the office of the Statesman &
Patriot from August last t*> >he time of the sale of that es
tablishment, wiil be soon sen! ut for collection. A rnn-
riderable sum is due by that office, the payment of which
is, in part, made through tbe Banks. Punctuality is
therefore imposed upon me. I therefore hope that lh<
patrons of tout concern will not murmur at being called
on at an early period and in a time of need.
I would not mortify any oi'the debtors to the Statesman
& Patriot—but I have been mortified myself to find that
some of the friends of the concern should insist o. selling
off accounts due them by Mr. Burritt individually, against
those due by them to the firm. By this means they would
compel me to pay all his debts It is hard, they say, to
lose their debts. It is very easy, 1 suppose, for me to pay
them all—and than be compelled to pay them the second
time, to the creditors by whom I am garnisheed. I
hope they will think again, and they must be convinced
that the golden rule w ill not apply to such cases.
JOHN G. POLH1LL.
In presenting to our naders the first Number of the
Federal Union, we have thought it would not be unaccep
table to lay before tLem tte Declaration of Independence
the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution of the U-
nited States, and Washington’s Farewell Address. Se
veral reasons have induced us to pursue this course.—
Though most of our readers have read these important
documents, yet it is presumed that some of them have not
had that opportunity, and that some who have, may no:
Jiave given them tbut serious attention to which they are
entitled. The present seems to be an eta of Constitu
tional discussions—discussions which go back hi argu
ment to the primitive principles of our government- Our
existence as a nation was first asserted in the first cf
these. It must th Tore he ever dear to Americans.—
The articles of Coniederation were the first effort at Go
vernment attempted by the new States. 'They were
found ineflic.ent to the purposes for which they were de
signed, and therefore gave way tc the Constitution nf the
U. States, which, with the amendments added after its
adoption, is now the fundamental law of the laud. It is
important that tbe people should have an opportunity of
comparing the Confederation w ith the Constitution, that
they may see the superior excellency of the latter over the
former. This is also desirable in enabling them fully to
understand the arguments of our beloved Washington, in
a part of that Valedictory, which must evei' be dear to
every American, who is not willing to join in the unholy
cry of disunion, which has be'n raising its voice through
the country. We lay these documents before the publu
that they may have before them at a single view-, the bnsri
of those political doctrines which we profrs*. We hope
therefore they will not only read—but attentively study
them—that they will preserve theta for reference when
ever it may be necessary to recur to them- We are aware
that our opponents will say that these are also their text
books. But let the tree be judged by its fruits. Take
the sentiments contained in VVaihiqgtju’s Farewell Ad
dress, and compare them with tbe opinions expressed by
many of our modern politicians—and then say, who are
the friends of Washington and tie Union—and who are
ihe advocates of Troup, Cooper & Disunion. And when
ever tiiese designing men and tbar leading partisans at
tempt to excite your prejudices ani blind your judgments,
turn to the Constitution and the Farewell Address, and
you will there find them refuted bj the language of truth
and the spirit of political prophecy. Take for instance
the following opinions of Washington.
“The North, in aa unrestrained intercourse
with the South, protected bv the equal laws oi
a common government, find? in the production
of the latter, great additional resources of mari
time and commercial enter prise, aud precious
materials of manufacturing industry. The
South, in the same intercourse, benefitting by
the same agency of the North, sees its agricul
ture grow and its commerce expand. Turn
ing partly into its own channels, the seamen
of the North, it finds its particular navigalion
invigorated; and while it. contributes, in diffe
rent ways, to nourish and increase the genera!
ma9S Of the national navigation, it looks for
ward to the protection of a maritime strength,
to which itself is unequal!} adapted. The
East, in a hke intercourse with the West, al
ready finds, and in the progressive improve
ment of interior communications by land and
water, will more and more find, a valuable vent
lor the commodities which it brings from a
broad, or manufactures at home. The West
derives from the East supplies requisite to its
growth and comfort—and wbat is perhaps of
still greater consequence, it must of necessity
owe the secure enjoyment of indispensable oiff-
lets for its own productions, to Ihe weight, in
fluence, and the future maritime strength of the
Atlantic side of the Union, directed by aji in
dissoluble community of interest as one nation.
Any other tenure by which the West can hold
this essential advantage, whether derived from
its own separate strength, or from an apostate
and unnatural connection with any foreign flow
er, must be intrinsically precarious."
Then contrast with them the following language of
Cooper.
| “The States South 0 f tbff Potomac, raise
nothing that is raised as a staple in Great Brit
ain They manufacture nothing that is mamt
ftetured in that country They interfere with
Europe in no market throughout the world.—
They sell what Great Britain wants, they want
what Great Britain sells. With T/rance their
intercourse is the same. No source of jeal
ousv, of rivalry, or oi Quarrel does exist or
can exi't beween the Southern States and
these foreign governments. England and
France are beyond all comparison tbe best cus
tomers the South possesses. Left to them
selves, an undisturbed couise of peace, of mu
tual benefits and mutual good will tvould con
tinue for at least a century to come. The
South may be, as she has been, dragged into
quarrels by means of her connexion with the
North, incases where she has received no in
jury and has no just cause of complaint, but
never can war upon the South take place, hut
through that nothern connexion.”
AnJ yet you are told by the Georgia Journal of March
27th. that “Few men have done so much for Southern
interests, and Southerr doctrines, as Dr. Cooper of Co
lumbia. And no man has keen more abused for the part
he has taken in nehulf of the 8outh, particularly on ac
count of certain expressions about the Union used ia his
writings. He defends himself with great spirit in the lust
Columbia Telescope. vVe copy his defence; and the ta-
riffiites will find in it some bard things for their digestion.
VVe commend it to their special attention.” Georgia
Journal.
Here then we see Cooper directly opposed to the coun
sels of Washington—and one of the leading Papers of the
Troup party adopting all his views and “commending”
them to the “special attention” of the people Ponder
well these things. They will teach you an important les
son. VVe understand that some of the more moderate
part of ihe Troup party deny that their papers have enter
tained these doctrines. What will they say to this?
FOURTH OF JULY.
We are happy to say that, notwithstanding the apa-
Ihy complained of hi some parts of theState, our National
Jubilee was celebrated in tbe metropolis on Saturday the
3d instant, with becoming honors. The day was usher
ed in with the usual salutations. All classes seemed to
enjoy tbe Festival of Freedom. At twelve, the procession
of citizens, as previously announced, assembled at the
Methodist Meeting-House—when an impressive and fer
vent Prayer was offertd up by the Rev. Mr. Arnold—th<-
Declaratiou of Independence, prefaced by some appropri
ale and patriotic remarks, was emphatically read byF. V.
D- launay, Esq.—After which, Dr. D. B. Searcy delivered
an Oration, which, for originality of arrangement and mat
ter—for beauty of expression, and brilliancy of thought,
.--e have rarely heard equalled. It was i>>d, ed an intellec
tual feast, to which we sat down with high anticipations,
and from which we arose with those anticipations more
tiian realized—Our cup of enjoyment was soon filled, and
:• ••untifully oveiflowed throughout the performance with
.hose unceasing libations poureffout by the youthful Patri
ot, delicious as nectar, and bright as the gems of the
morning. Time permits us to say no more of it—but
our readers will be enabled to judge for themselves of a
production, which we shall, with great pleasure, lay be
fore the public in the next paper.
The celebration by the Cliosophic Society was conduct
ed with the usual ceremonies. We bad not the pleasure
of attending this celebration. The Throne of Grace was
addressed by the Rev. Mr. Preston—the Declaration wus
read by Mr. Kraalz, and an Oration, delivered by AI-
phonso Delaunay, Esq. which we have heard highly spo
ken of, but had r.ot the pleasure of hearing.
A splendid dinner was served up at Mrs. Allen’s, in
which all parties partook. The utmost harmony prevail
ed throughout the day—and what is highly to be commend
ed, we neither saw, nor heard of, a single individual en
gaged in the pleasures of the day, having forfeited the
character ofa grateful American by an excess of wine —
We regret that we have not been furnished with tbe toasts
given oa the occasion.
[;CF’VVe request our brother Editors generally to ex
change with us.

LINES BY A YOUNG LADY BORN BLIND.
IF this delicious, grateful flower,
WJuch blows but for a little hour,
Should to *he sight so lovely be,
As from its fragrance seems to me
A sigh must then its colour show,
For tliat’s the softest joy I kn ow ;
And sure the rose is like a sigh.
Just born to sooth and then—to die,
My father, when our fertune smil’d.
With jewels deck’d his sightless child:
Their glittering worth the world might srC,
But ah ! they had no charms for me ;
A triekhng tear bedew’d my arm—
I felt it—and my arm was warm;
And sure this gf m tome most dear,
Was a kind fathers pitying tear.
" TO THE PUBLIC.
H AVING just read the pale faced defence af Tf.oms*
H. Sharp, to the disgraceful manner is which hi*
name did accompany the board of commissioners fir th*
county of Randolph, I now {ake the liberty of giving tiie
people of Randolph arid that public whose interest the
doctor, makes his great concern, a few rematLs on the \
doctors character.
The Doctor says that he never authorised the commis-
sioners-to use his name in any such manner.
That is Ihe fuel, that part I take upon myself, as I acted
assecreta r y to the board of commisoners. As this is a
transgression of the laws of Georgia, (forgeryA I am h ill—
mgtoface the laws, believing that mercy will be shown
me in that case, as I shall claim the talents of Wilson H«
Lumpkin in my behalf, from the respect paid lnm in tbe
memory of his name, and hoping that his honor Jud :i Col-
quet and our Attorney General will recommend ir.< rev,
front their having to discharge the duties rrq lired oi tin in
on tbe hill-side, the Jury front having to sit in tbe son—
from these causes i hope to escape the rigidness cf the
law. The Doctor abhors the site selected by the com
missioners, because he believes it is iniurious to the coun
ty. If the. Doctor had said, injurious to myself, the public
would not hive been so imposed upon. lam pleaded io
hear the Doctor say that we all met to select the site as it
shows that lie had a hope of success. The Doctor ivas of
opinion that the court house ought to go on the Ckatta-
boochie River. 1st. Because the Chattahocchre was na
vigable for steam boats. The Doctor is forgetful, he
ought to have recollected that when he lived-in Pumpkin
Town, that was the place and riiat with little trouble tie
Patola might be made navigable that frr up. 2. Tiiat tbe
•town property would have sold fbr enough to have I ui^
good public buildings and saved the citizens a heavy tax.
This evil is already avoided, for it has done that already.
3d. Because competition would have flocked there a: tl
produce worth 20 per cent. more. If the Doctor 1 « d
said made my lands worth 20 percent, more, tnc pvbiic
would have credited his assertion. 4lh. Because or
county would stand in as high estimation as any iu t> e
State in a few years. If the Doctor wishes to leave t 1 '*
disgraceful county, he can do as he did when he ! ft Ala
bama—he can cross the River in a perogue, for our ra '.s
are strong enough without him. 5th. Because he d f»
belicwe that when tbe county is divided agreeably, to V.Jt
celebrated N B bill, it will b : divided north and south,
and he will take a part and add to Randolph. The D •n-
tor ought to have iccollected that itiseasier to rece-u n
a gift than to take—we had better take tbe half range of
dist. from Muscogee, that ah?- is willing to give, on,: lie
neutral about Lee, aod try :o hold what of her we h: e
already got. What would it profit Ibis nmbilp corny
that the Doctor speaks of with all the competition on ti e
river, to drag our citizens forty miles the conir- ry v y.
Ifhe had said it was sini-ter views, he public would n> t
have been so imoosed upon with such stuff Or he »
willing to have deferred it for this year. Yts! *frr slcre
n ere provisions in the act th»t appointed these omcr .$•
sioners for that express purpose to defeat any oth/ r ar
rangement, other than the court house should g- re tte
river. While Messrs. Neil, Mosely, Snellirg, andlnrin
- ere determined to act as if they knew that the nex' le
gislature uoidd divide Ihe county east and west. In Ibis
easel will merely observe to the public that «e wire de
termined to act with accordance to our own views and
the general wish of the people of Randolph
The Doctor has given the true distance of the county
north and south 40 1-2 miles, cast and west 36 mils. —
Now add the half range that Muscogee is willing to hi ©
to Randolph, and see if it will not bo the most judicio s
division. Now add the range of Lee and see hww r e
Hie river county will be on tbe north line: not exceeding;
t°n miles, and on the south not exceeding t” eisty dre!
40 1-2 long, the middle county 27 wide and 40 1-2 .erg.
—But after a long debate Brown fell into their rar fc.-
Yes, because Brown had never heard of any cf , t r ar
rangement, but so soon as it was suggested and he - aw
the equality of the division, and believing that it 'jnght to
be made, he at once fell into our ranks. We car t naught
about the Doctors romment, and wish the pnbEe to under
stand me and the Doctor that he has been cl- of our
ranks, for they were filled with men who were willing la
be governed by a ma jority, and t»> act accorffir £lv. The
place is among the hills. Where would we f dive placed
it on fhe river? If ire would have escaped 1 he MIN we
should have had to select f he hiehes» hi ft ->nd pla
ced it on top, for if we had placed it on a le M if would
not been found. We say that we have plan i it rr.nv n-
ierr to the citizens generally, and not con renient to a
few wealthy men to gratify them. I will nr w -op m^ut
on the Doctor a little. If he and lus fried T l. It. «•! ,-nlJ
get their object accomplished, the Doetor ivi-'H be t! ©
old lady in Burke county, when Jrfferson v. as taker off
of it: th^ surveyor called at a house and obs (rrcfl tc the
lady that she was [n .Lffrrson county Thar k Gid, s p.;d
she, that I am no longei in that sickly county. Tlia wi‘1
he the case with the Doctor, if the county «s d jridi d north
and south; he will make a low bow and than Jr N. B tint
lie has gor him out ofthe disgraceful con«iv <»f I?* '|,{j

Treating Resolution—N<>t long since, in a
country town—no great matter wherc-a num
ber of gentlemen, belonging to a temperano,
-ociety, made considerable eeiertionto induci
an acquintance, a jolly good uatured fellow,
who loved brandy well enough when he could
get nothing better, to sign an article agreeing
to total abstinence. He demurred for some
time, but at last his good nature got the bet.er
of his inclination, and taking a pen, he wrote
his name with a large flourish, then throwing
it down exclaimed slapping a frieud on th
hack, “There, darn ye, now treat!'
