JAMES C. WaTSON. For house rep.—Mai. BURTON HEPBURN, Duct. TOMLINSON FORT. i*nun!catea lie ffiatter to Yhoinas P. Green, E*q. toe ‘Post Master, a gentleman, in whose integrity and pru dence I had the utmost confidence. He then stated some facts which, in connection with the letter 1 had received, and the number of books, immediate!} excited his suspi cions. With my consent he communicated with Rhodam A. Green. Esq. who had learned something on the sub ject. The subject thus gradually developed itself, till it was discovered that Mr. Burritt had been privately offer ing the Pamphlets for sale, and loaning them out. As soon as the Governor was put in possession of these facts, he issued his precept to a Justice of the Peace, to collect the testimony and proceed according to law in the case. He did so, and summoned before him the two Messrs. Greens and uiyself—took our depositions—issu ed a warrant—and as soon as Mr. Burritt arrived, he was arrested and carried before the Justice, but no prosecqtor appearing, he was compelled to discharge him. The commissioners uf the town then commenced a second pro secution. After a tedious investigation, Mr. Burritt's counsel took technical exceptions to the affidavits and warrant, and after a long argument, the Court sus tained his objections and quashed the warrant, and Mr. Burritt wa6 again discharged. At the commencement of the second investigation, Mr. Burritt applied to me in the presence of the Court to ap pear as his Counsel, which the delicacy of my situation compelled me to decline. He also observed in the pres ence of the Court, that be was not offended at the course I h id pursued, but that had he been in my siluaticn, he would have acted as I did. land’s only motive was sympathy toward Mrs. Burritt, when for nearly six months she has heen, under the eye of Mr. Grantland, suffering all the pangs that female for titude could bear? Is it usual for Mr Grantland to len der his services 11 befriend his enemies or become their security? If it had been the sole object of Mr. Grantland to have befriended Mr. Burritt, could he not have done it much more effectually before his property was attached by his creditors and put under the hammer of the Sheriff? Has any thing new come to light in the case that has so sud denly melted the tender mercies of Mr. Grantland to aid in the vindication of Mr. Burritt? Or does it require five months to arouse Mr. Grantland’s sympathies? If he did not know all the facts of the case, could he not have known them, as they seem to have interested him so deeply? Is it not possible that Mr. Grantland may have heen actua ted by some other motives besides those of commiserating the unfortunate? Many such inquiries arise in this case. Perhaps Mr. Grantland may be able to satisfy the public by answering them We might have h&fl a great national r&ad from iJift city of Washington, through this town, had our Representatives but advocated the measure. Why 'should we be constant ly crying out injustice and partiality against the Govern ment, while we refuse to accept their proffered favors?— We really hope that none of our citizens will continue to stand any longer in their own light, by refusing to sign the memorial, and using all the means in their power to have the road established.—Planters' Gazette.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA. Fellow Citizens:—In this paper of the 17th ultimo, I published an article on the subject of the third edition of ‘‘Walker’s Pamphlets,’’ which has brought down upon me some severe strictures. In that article, Elijah H. Bur- riit was not referred to. He was not the person to whom the copy of the third edition, alluded to, was directed. As however, an attempt has been made to cast the odium of public opinion on me, I shall lay before statement of the facts of bis case so far as they came to mv knowledge—and shew you the agency I had in de veloping the transaction. I do this, not because I feel The least apprehension of public reproach, but to place the truth before yon, that you may judge of the correctness of mv conduct; and to expose what I conceive to be the motives of the principal agent in the excitement that is now aought to be raised on the subject. About the middle of January last, I went to Macon, to attend the Superior Court of Bibb county. On my return home, a short lime afterentering the office of the States man & Patriot, Mr. Eurritt threw me a pamphlet across the table, and said, “I have got one of those books since-’ you were gone,” without saying what it was—where he had obtained it—or the means of procuring it. Nothing more passed between us on the subject. I looked at the title page—saw what it was—and being busily engaged, threw it on a table near me, intending at leisure to inquire intuit. My impression at the moment, from the soiled appearance of the pamphlet and its having a name written jn it, was that lie had borrowed it. It however escaped my memory till a few days after, when a relation visited the office. In the course of cnnveisation with him the pamphlet recurred to nay recollection. I asked him if he bad seen it. He said he had n«t, and expressed some cu riosity to read it. I looked for soidp time for it—and be gan to chide myself for the negligent manner in which l had disposed of the book. Mr. Julian thtn aided me in the examination, and in a short time it was found in a pigeon hole on a high shelf in one corner of the office. In iakin^ it down a second one was drawn out with it—this a little surprised me, but I concluded that on Burritt’s re turn l would inquire into it, and thought no more of it. I took one to my house, and Mr. Cole and wy«clf rend it cursorily, till we became disgusted with it. During this lime Mr. Rurritt hud gone to Augusta. A day or two af terwards I went to the Post Office and among other things, a letter was banded me, post-marked at Boston, directed to the offi'C of the Statesman &. Patriot, care of F.. H. Burritt. The direction authorized me to open it It W as written to Mr. Burritt individually, and to my ut fp"r astoni bmmt, was from David Walker, the reputed author of the Pamphlet, and shewed that Mr. Burritt was jo correspondence with him- That letter is in the posses hou rf the Solicitor General. But I will recite from memory the leading features ot it.—He stated that—Ir compliance with Mr. Burritt’s request he had some time before sent him 20 of his Boohs of Appeal—that he had been expecting for some weeks to bear from him—that he cxppcfr J him on thehmor or a gentleman to comply ac c rdhic to engagement—that he bad a second edition of his work and if lie wished anymore he could have them—that hs expected soon to bear from him and If am all the par ticulars respecting the Pamphlet, and subscribed himself his friend, David Walker This I think is the correct purport of the Utter. It shall appear when I can obtain it, if necessary. It will at once be seen that this letter vAs well calculated to awaken in my mind suspicions which [ hj gc w Aether .Mr. Grantland lias bem actuated by disin- renderrd it imperiously my duty to ascertain immediately J motives, or by friendship to Mr. Burritt or his ♦ hefacts, and promptly to communicate them to such gen tlemen as I could confide in, that. I migiit act with due < notion and circumspection in the painlul situation in which I thus suddenly and unexpectedly, found myself, liefjre the receipt of this letter, it bad never entered my bead that Mr. Burri't bad any improper connection with these pamphlets. 1 therefore immediately examined a fecond time, and found fifteen more of the pamphlets on the same shelf. These, with the one I had at my house, propriety of my conduct, before the people of Georgia. I must be permitted however, to say, that I think Mr. Grant- land’s Sympathies have manifested them e elvestoo late to gain the palm of disinterestedness from the public.

L. PERKINS. Milledgeville, Aug. 7 5 3t NEW MAP or THE STATE OF GEORGIA. I T is known to my friends and the public that I issued proposals last year for publishing a large and elegant ly engraved new Map of the Slate. I thought proper to postpone the execution of the work till the (’heroine Country could be acquired and surveyed, believing that it would not meet with that extensive patroroge, which is necessary to sustain an undertaking of the kind, unliss the whole of the Cherokee lands could be laid down and represented from actual surveys—And after full reflec tion 1 considered it best to obtain the patronage uf the State, in order that it might be presented to the public un der the high sanction and stamp of authority. I pledge myself to my friands and the public, that as soon ns the Cherokee lands are obtained and surveyed, that I will im mediately enter on the work, and that no expense or la bor will be spared to make it worthy cf tbe liberal patron age of the public. In addition to the targe State Map, I propose drafting accurate and complete Maps of each County in the State; one of which I will present to every Inferior Court. The maps of the new couuties, 1 mean all tbe counties which embrace Lottery Lands, will contain all the equate lots end fractions; and will be platted by a scale four times as lar^e as that bv which I shall platt the State Map. ° BENJAMIN H. STUltGES. Iricinton, August 7,18J0 5 2 This can establish bis innocence, no one will rejoice more at such an event than myself. If he cannot, tile laws of the country m *tbe supported. And now permit me to ask you, candidly and openly, what would have been my situation, had these Pamphlets been concealed from me till they bad all been circulated? Could it have been possible for me to have convinced the people of Georgia, that I knew nothing of them, when they were issued fiom an office in which I was interested and daily occupied? Would not public indignation have pointed to me as a native Georgian, recreant to the prin (ipits of my country, and regardless of the blood of “wife, children, and friends?” But suppose after I came, by the f..vors of a kind and overruling Providence, to a knowledge of the facts, I had concealed them, what would you have | contradiction to the motto or standard with which heap- thought ol my principles and my conduct?

He should stand his trial and prove his innocence of criminal intention, if he be inno cent, which we conscientiously believe him to be.—[Edi- torial. J [communicated.] JMessrs. Editors :—Upon reading an article entitled “Walker’s Pamphlet,” in the “Federal Union” of last we< k, the following queries very naturally suggest them selves:—Can it be possible that the author is still forcing that inti immatary vile work upon this State? or has Mr. Polbill introduced this subject to widen the breech of sec tional feeling between the North and South, in direct have approved them? Could you have palliated them?— Could you have borne them? But apart from personal considerations, what might have been the consequences to liou? The answer to alt these questions lias been furnish- ■ 1 by your universal approbation of my conduct. I feel -io fear that lint approbation will be withdrawn. But I feel myself called upon to make to you a farther statement in connexion with this painful subject. A re cent occurrence lias induced me to believe that one of your fellow-citizens w ould rtjoiee to see public indignation visited upon my bead on this subject. 1 mean Mr. Sea ton Grantland, the senior Editor of the Southern Re corder. I should regret to do injustice to Mr. Grantland in this belief—but I must do justice to myself. I will herefore give the reasons and inferences upon which my belief is founded, that you may with myself be able to r made sixteen. Four bad therefore been disposed of in rome w. y. I ascertained that the young men in the office Jiiu w nothing of the nutter—Mr. Burrili had concealed from m- the fact of his having received any com mu n na tion from the negro, or having written to him and that be J.nd received more than cne copy of the pamphlet from any source. That Mr. Burritt should have written for so many was a mystery to m”, ft that four of them should have been Aimposed of, alarmed m , a* i saw lint my character might have been implicated, bill for the providential arrival of this letter in Mr. Burritt’s absence. It was impossible E>r me to know what the “engagement” was, with which he was to comply, and the fact thal/our of the Pamphlets had been distributed, led me to a suspicion that this en gagement was of a character entirely at enmity with the vital interests of a community among whom I was born »nd brought up, and with whom my dearest earthly at tachments were interwoven. Daring the day on which I received this letter, my time was completely engrossed in making outreports for the auditors appointed by the State to adjust Mr. Birch’s accounts for the additions to the State House. As soon as 1 obtained leisure, I communi cated the f icts first to Mr. Cobb, Ihe Senator of Houston county, and to vlajor Ilepburn, the Repr sentative of Baldwin. They concurred with me that, on the next day I should, atari early hour, assemble some of Mr. Burnt s friends and my own, to consult on the course most pru dent to he pursued. The next, mtrning I invited into the office, Col. Ruffin, Col. Bozeman, Dr. Fort, Maj. Hep- burn, Mr. Cobb, and Col. Rockwell, the Intendant, and exhibited to them the letter and the pamphlets. Some of 1heso gentlemen first thought it most proper to await Mr. Burritt’s return, and inform him that appearances were ugainst him—that in our opinion he had forfeited his stand- in in this community—and to advise him to settle his af fairs and ’eive the :tutc. But upon inspecting the law ar , findin-* its provisions very broad and the penalty death, vre saw that if Mr. Burritt was guihy, we should all be come liable, by such a course, as accessories; and public justice meriit be evaded. It was therefore unanimously conel ided that my best course was to disclore 1he facts to the Governor, as it was a matter of public concern, and leave it to bis discretion and responsibility to act as the public safety seemed to require. As the object of Mr. Burt it’s visit to Augusta was unknown to any of us, it was suggested that it might have some connection with the matter in consultation. We believed this course due (i> (lie public and to Mr. Burritt, that he might, if guiltless, publicly vindicate himself by an open and honorable trial before the civil authority—if guilty, that the law might have ils course. Accordingly, Col. Rockwell, the Inten- tlant of the Metropolis, and myself, waited on the Gover nor. I stated the facts, and offered to deliver to him the letter and the pamphlets. He declined receiving them, and advised me to investigate tbe matter and institute a prosecution—stating that he had some days previous had a conversation with Mr. Burritt on the subject of the pamphlets which hid excited his suspicion. I objected to becoming the prosecutor, bultook the books and letter to my dwelling and locked them up, that no person ought s. e them. After leaving the Executive office, Col. Rock well told me that he thought it a duty due to myself and the public toiustitute a prosecution. I replied to him that I did not apprehend any public censure for not prosccut- ih»—'hat 1 had discharged my duty to the public by mak ing the disclosure to the two highest officers in the place himself and the Governor-that I would neither shrink from a discharge of a conscientious duty from the fear of private censure, nor go beyond the dictates of duty for the sake of public approbation-that I conceived ,t his duty or the Governor’s to proceed in it—that my being a private in dividual whose official duty did not requi*JtZndnmoa- in business with Burritt, and having a ig /. R tbetic regard fur the distressed condition of bis fam y, rendered that step so revolting to my feelings, that I c proceed no farther in it. He gave in to ed the Governor and stated to him my objections ^prose cuting. He stated to me that, on reflection, Jhe Go ^- nor appreciated my motives, and said he would proceed himself with the business. In the mean tjme I bad om- family. Mrs Burritt in a communication in the last Recorder, <avs that “a man above the fear of public censure, came forward and proffered Ids sere ices in aiding in the cause of justice and humanity and in placing tne subject (of Burritt’s case) in its proper attitude before the citizens of Georgia”—I am informed farther, that this mail is Seaton Grantland, the Candidate for Congress, and tba’ lie farther “proffered his sen-ices” to become Mr. Bur- ritt’s bail* if he would return to Georgia and stand his tri al. Now let us see in what way Mr. Grantland com menced this work of “doing justice.” In the Recorder of tbe 24th July, a communication appeared signed Enquir er, and which is inserted below that you mav judge of it for yourselves. We arc given very plainly to under stand that Mrs. Burritt was the author. Now had Mr Grantland been requested to open his columns to Mrs. Burritt, I should have thought him justifiable and that he had no improper feelings towards me. Had this article by Enquirer b.en a vindication of Mr. Burritt's conduct, 1 should still have felt some charity towards Mr. Grant- Sand for admitting it into his paper. But let i< he remem bered that Mr. Gran land volunteered to do justice to Burritt, and the very first step he took in the matter was to publish an article nut in vindication of Burritt, but eer ily word of which is a direct attack upon my integrity and uprightness in thr exposure of Burritt’s case—and not me factor argument is adduced to exculpate Mr. Burritt. liis doing justice to Burritt? But. Mr. Grantland is can it be that be wishes to fan the expiring embers upon the altar where his late dethroned partner was sacrificed! It may be that Mr. Polhill intends making this subject his hobby to ride to the high places of political fame. If the author of that article was actuated by either of these motives, it would be well if some friend wonld whisper in his * ar, that (lie less he says upon the subject of Wal ker’s Pamphlets the better, for public sentiment is alrea dy against him for the part he acted in raising the hue k cry against his confiding partner, and the more he harps upon the subject, the more fully will the minds of com munity be convinced that he is trying to cover up (he mo tives of self-interest and aggrandizement, which have heen imputed to him from the first. Will not this be the final verdict of community vvhrncver the case is fairly investigated? ENQUIRER. P. S. I shall answer the questions of “Enquirer” in the next paper. It shall not contain a word to injure her feel ings, farther than the subject itself may be painful. I would not give her one unnecessary pang, nor plant one additional thorn in her path. 1 have no unfriendly feel ings to gratify toward her and her unfortunate husband. I must however do justice to myself. Absence has pre vented my earlier attention to this subject. J. G. P. HABERSHAM SALES.

BV ARTHUR FOSTER. ONTAINING all tbe Statutes, and the substance of all the Resolutions, of a general and public nature, and now of force, width have been paised in said State from the year 1820, to the year 1823, both inclufdvi-, w ith occasional explanatory notes and connecting references, and a list ol the statutes repealed or obsolete. To whu it is added an appendix, containing the Constitution oj the State of Georgia, as amtnded- also, references o such local ads us relate to towns, counties, Internal Navigation, County Academies, fyc. and a collection of the most ap proved forms used in carrying the above named taws into effect; with a copious Index to the whole. It ? : !! be something like a continuation of Prince’s Digest repealed or altered. It may be observed, that the Legislature of Georgia arc in the constant practice of repealing, alter ing, or amending Laws passed at their previous sessions, so that, without such a Digest or Compilation of them, as is now respectfully offered to the puulic, it actually re quires a lawyer, or a person who has devotee much time to the examination and comparison of the different enact ments of each succeeding session of the Legislature, to be acquainted with all the laws which are of force: And hav ing witnessed with much pleasure the immense public utility and popularity of the Digest compiled by Oliver U, Prince, Esq. and also h .ring no doubt but a similar Com pendium of the Laws from the time of that pub icalion whereon Henry Conly now lives—levied on as the pro perty of F.lijah England, to satisfy sundry fi. fas. two in favor of Patrick J.

The editorial at last concludes with an open avowal of a belief of Burritt’s innocence Now, I will enquire, if Mr. Grantland can unriddle “mys teries?” If he cannot, how can he undertake to say that ne believes Burritt innocent, when he says, his case “is involved in mystery?” (Vhat does Mr. Grantland mean by this “mystery?” He may have had a right to express liis belief of Burritt’s innocence. He had a right to open his columns to Mrs. Burritt for the purpose of vindication But he had no right to publish an article, solely and exclu sively impeaching the purity of my motives, in a matter too of such serious import to the whole Southern Country. Mr. Grantland had a right too, to tender his services to Mrs. Burritt. But when Mrs. B. presented the article signed “Enquirer,” what should have been Mr. Grant land’s reply?—Should it not have been something like this? “Madam, I proferred my “services in aiding the cause of justice”—not in impeaching the conduct of Mr. Polhill. Public opinion is in his favor, and he has acted as every citizen ought to act. Let the article contain evidence of Mr. Burritt’s good intentions and then it will be ad mitted.” This is a stretch of magnanimity which J had a right to expect from Mr. Grantland, (unless he could convince the public that I had acted corruptly,) as ho has heen so magnanimous towards Mr. Burritt. As he did not pursue this course, I am bound to believe that he wished to see me pul,down. But this is not all—Mr. Grantland lived here at Ihe time the exposition of Burritt’s case took place. He was almost daily in town pursuing his business. He knew, or might have known the precise facts then, as well as he does now—nay, he might have known them better, as it was then a subject of universal enquiry. I should have as willingly communicated with him, as I did with Mr. Camak, whom I sought at 9 o’clock at night to in form him that an enquiry was on loot for the circulated pamphlets, learning that lie had a negro who could read, & feeling that it was not a party matter. But more than five months pass away, before we hear any thing of Mr. Grantland’s sympathies for Mr. Burritt and his “perhaps much injured” family. Withiu a few days past he has volunteered his services, as Mrs. Burritt informs us. Under this stale ef things, the following enquiries nat urally suggest themselves—Why did not Mr. Grantland offer his services to befriend Mr. Burritt and his family about the time that Mr. Burritt left this place, in the mid dle of February last? Is it natural to believe that Mr. Grantland would, without any change of circumstances favorable to Mr. Burritt, entertain such tender feel ings towards a man whom he has so often reprobated and abused? Is it natural to beliete, that Mr. Grant We call fnc attention of our readers to the ad vertisement of Mr. L.

I cannot help believing some disaster - iias attended the bantling, or its nurses would long since have exhibited the darling, and called upon its true wor shippers to fall down and do homage. Is it dead? is it defunct? has it heen strangled by too much kindness, or put doun by the voice of a people indignant at such bare faced attempts to bridle Ur. will of an intelligent commu nity? I say something serious has happened, or we should havs been stunned with accounts of the actings Joseph Morgan, for the use of the Darren Bank, vs said Roherson.

However, not reiv ing altogether cn his £>tvn judgement, or the experience of having been a member of the Legislature during Ihe pas sage of most of the laws now proposed to be published, and at the administration of them for eight ye rs, as a Jus tice of the Inferior Court, in a County where much busi ness of an intricate nature is transacted in ihat Court and (be Court of Ordinary; after completing the manuscript it has been placed in the hands of gentlemen, eminently learned in the law, who, after a strict and careful ex a; lo tion, have politely tendered to him the subjoined Certifi cates: I have examined “A Digest of the laws of Georgia fom 1820 to 1S29, inclusive, by a Foster, Esq.” and think the work executed with judgement and accuracy. The work is intended as a continuation of Prince’s Digest, and is, in my opinion, well calculated to answer that valuable purpose; Although the author is not professionally a Lawyer, he seems, in ascertaining the statutes now of force, to have added much care, esair.inulion, and study, to his advantages as a practical legislator, during most of the period embraced in his work.

Foster, Esq. of Columbia county. I have no doubt the work wilt prove valuable to every citizen who feels desirous to become informed of tire Statutes now of force in the State, and would recommend all Justices of t;.t Irdmur Court, Justices of the Peace, Clerks, Sheriffs, &e. to pos sess -hemseives of the vu-rk s«» so<-n ts piihiished.

I have yet hau an opportunity of exam ining the manuscript copy of your “Digest 'of Hit Laws of the Slateof Georgia,”1 highly approve both of its tx- ecutiou and its plan. The volume cannot fail to answer well tbe purpose for which it was designed.—In the ap pendix there area number of precedents or forms, which appear to have been modelled with accuracy, and in sinct conformity to tbe digested statutes from which they were drawn, and without duubt, will add much to the value and usefulness of the work, as a mean (in.the hands ef Justi ces of the Peace, Justices of the. Inferior Courts, Clerks, Sheriffs, young practitioners nftf, t Law, and others.) “in carrying the above named laws into effect” >viih tre t > r fa cility. PIERSON PETTIT. Arthur Foster, Esq.

Pinewoods, 2d August, 1830 Internal Improvement.—We have recently seen a me morial in circulation, praying Congress to make a good post-road from Columbus, via Montgomery, to Blakely. This memorial, we are rejoiced to find, bears the namts of many of our most respectable citizens of all political parties, who appear to be willing, forthe sake of the pub lic good, to dismiss their constitution! scruples on the subject. The measure contemplated ly this memorial we conceive to be absolutely necessary. At present we have not a tolerable public road in our State, and the transpor tation of the United States’ Mail from Georgia to New- Orlesns, is subject to great and freqient difficulties and delays. The road laws of Alabama are only a dead ItIter. We have never known them carried into effect in a single instance. If our Representatives m Congress will but se cond ourendeavours, there is no doabt but the General Go vernment will grant the object prajed for in the memorial. The Government have never yet denied to Alabama any ifiivor she has asked for through her Representatives.— GWINNETT SALES. On the first Tuesday in SEPTEAIBER next.
