If M r , Burritt had felt him- ®elf innocent ana secure in the protection of the laws, he had every reason to be confident in the purity of its ad ministration. He had been twice arraigned and (toice dis charged before that branch of the Judiciary roost limited in it* power and jurisdiction, and this too in the face of public opinion. No voluntary Prosecutor appeared a- gainst him. He remained two days and a half in the me tropolis after his return from Augusta, and no man pri vately interfered with his person or his business. Dur ing that period Mr. Burritt was advised by one of those very conspirators, as Mr. Grantlaml trill have them, ne ver to lose sight of the Pamphlet affair—but to face it and gice to the torrid a fair and public vindication of his con duct, or he was a mined men. lie went to the boose of an other of these conspirators, since deceased, and there sent fir me to consult is to the prudence of bis future course.

After ins last discharge, he entered upon h his appeal to the people ol Georgia. j his ordinary business, from which I had retired, and with which I never again expected to be connected. At Mr. Burritt’s earnest requrst I went on the morning of hfe de parture, and set the hands to work in the office. This I did to oblige him. I then ceased my connection with the business of the office, till I was put into possession of it by a gentleman who had a mortgage on it, and who had f>ryears been supporting Mr. Burritt in bis business.— This he did, and this I nonsuited to, for the purpose oi saving the property from deterioration. After 1 had re tired, there was no other person hut the mortgagee who had a right of possession. How else was he to secure his rights after Mr. Burritt’s abandonment? Was he to lose bis lien for l‘cr.r of Mr. Grantland’s displeasure? Burrilt’s departure was the effect of his own determination. The attempt made to arrest him nt Augusta, was in conse quence of a communication by one of Mr. Grantiand’s political friends to the Attorney Genera! of the State.— Congress, so few as we have seen them officially announc- This course, I have no doubt, was dictated to Mr. Tor- j * j ranee by the purest regard for the public safety and justice. ~ ~~ The legal consequences of Mr. Burritt’a elopement to his property, were beyond the control of any individual. He knew what they would be; and if he had not thought his personal security more important to him than the security of his properly, he would surely have remained to take I care of the hitler. But here Mr. Grantland thinks he has a most triumph ant confirmation of his solemn charges. He evades all <ny interrogations; to which public opinion required di rect and categorical answers.

The retailing of “horn flints must lie have had in the righteousness of the cause he has and wooden nutmegs” is thought, by those who have the espoused to attempt to visit the indignation of public opin- honor of his acquaintance, to he best suited to the tower- ion upon those who were laboring lor the public good, as ing splendor of his intellect and the delicate louche* of his very first step toward the vindication of the accused! his fancy. But perhaps the creature is not so much to But says Mr. Grantland, there was no evidence that the blame. He is said only to peddle politics for others*—and pamphlets were passed into improper hands. Was there if their stock will not afford belter articles—he can’t help Editor, after having expressed three opinion, now skulks off, and says he has no opinion on the subject. If he had possessed common discernment, he woulu have seen that, for obvious reasons; we did not reply to any allegations made by Mrs. Burritt touching the facts cf the case. He grossly and (we are bound to believe) wilfully misquotes and misrepresents our statements. To sum up his attitudes in tin* matter. First—Mr. Shaw’s editor expressed decided approbation of our con duct—second— reproached us for having had connection in business with Burritt—third, became Burritt’s advocate under female protection—and fourth—after torturing bis brain to glean against us some contemptible insinuations for political effect—he has no opinion at aUU—Mr. Shaw would do well to engage some editor having better under standing and fewer prejudices. A good joke—a very goodjeke indeed!—The National Intelligencer thinks that because its cousin, the Southern Recorder, has been lately endeavoring to conceal the flames it has so long fanned agiinst the repose of the U- nion, it lias clapped an “extinguisher” upon the hopes of South Carolina of co-operation by Georgia in the warfjrc now waging in that State, against the Union! “Mercy on ns, what a long tail our cat has got!” Why it can sweep creation! It is really marvellous! It is one of those cases in which, by a kind of poetic licence some times indulged bythecr.ifc, the effect is put for the cause— a very immaterial error in political logic—that’s ail.— True, the Recorder would make us believe it has under gone a very sudden conversion on the subject of these oisunion doctrines. It was proved upon it some time ago, that as it had renounced Hayne and the “Carolina Doc trines,” it had renounced Troup also—unless the Recor der holds itself up as better evidence of the Crawford doc trines than the Journal. The Journal tells us that the Carolina doctrines are the true Crawford Creed. The Recorder denies it, and says they are the doctrines of the Calhoun party, and cites the Constitutional Whig, a most violent Clay and Adams paper, to prove the fact. Now if the Recorder really intends to renounce its old faith, and to come out a right exemplary Clark paper, it must quit its old tricks—quit abusing us, and be, content to serve in the ranks awhile, before it seeks promotion. It mu9t per form quarantine awhile. It is evident that the Intelligencer docs not understand the true state of things in Georgia. This happens to he one those cases in which public opinion has controlled the Press, and not the Press controlled public opinion. If the Recorder have really changed ts creed herein, it is just such a change as it underwent a few years ago, when af ter vilifying Jackson and holding up Adams for the Presi dency before him, it was suddenly compelled to veer a- bout, and laud Jackson to the skies. Now that it has fairly been whipped into a respect for the Union, by other presses and the irresistible force of public (.pinion, in Geor gia, forsooth, it comes out ir/favor of the Union, and has dropped an “extinguisher” upon the nuilificra of South J Carolina!! f rodi-gi-ous!! \\ c recollect very well when the Recorder first ventured to make this ncu> movement. Does it recollect a discussion upon a certain Ex-Governor’s Toast sonic short time since? and that the Georgia Cou rier was so astonished at certain moderate expressions, that it advised the Recorder to lecture the Journal? We think we can see through it all. Rumor says, that the Re corder and Journal are a joint establishment in regard to ownership. They seem to play the game of tickle remarka hly well. We find from the Journal, that there are some red-hot nullifiers in Georgia—the Recorder knows Hint all the Clark party, and the patriotic part of the Troup party, are opposed to them. Sec how the game works. You v* 0 or 'Nullification. I’ll go for anti-nullification. You Nckic Joni 1 i! tickle Jerry—anil l»y pleasing both, we shall keep the folks together yet. Bye-and-byc, when they are charged with running atilt against the Union— we shall be very gravely told—Oh, it was not a party doc trine, n^r the doctrine of our papers.

An interview is requested with Querist. any evidence what had become of them? Why did not Mr. Burritt produce the four Ihat were missing. Have they all ever yet been accounted fur? But Mr. Burritt’s guilt or innocence had nothing to do Tyitk the conduct of myself and the gontleinen who coun selled me. The whole facts of the case upon which they acted are before the public—they are uncontradiclcd by Mr. Grantland, and incontrovertible—and are enough to satisfy every unprejudiced mind of the correctness and pu rity of their motives. There is nut a gentleman of those wbo acted with me whose character is not as Jar above suspicion at least as Mr. Grantland’s. If .Vlr. Burritt had any friends iu Miiledgeville, they were those whose opinions determined my conduct. The unfortunate state of political feeling here compels us to select our most con- j fidenlial friends from our own political ranks. Was it to it. He must trade upon the stock furnished him.—We therefore say to the little fellow—0. Pshaw! man!—ped dle as much as you please—crack up your little poney and rattle your Jersey over the country. You can only cheat little hoys and old women with your vulgar “notions.” M'ota Bene.—Brother Jonathan has full license to ped dle politics through all the “rotten boroughs” of Georgia— Provided, he will not take Cooper's letter with him. p. S. Since writing the above, we have seen what the little thing says of our exposition of Burritt’s case. It is just what we expected from its character. Mr. Shaw’s [from a correspondent.] The National Council of the Creek Indians convened at Wetumke, on the 1st instant, and adjourned on the 10th. The council was numerously attended both by the Chiefs and common Indians. The third day of the coun cil the Agent, Col. Crowell, was invited into the council. He attended, and delivered lo them the message of the President, and explained to them fully tiie views of the Government. He endeavored to impress upon their minds the many difficulties which would arise, on their part, when left to the sole protection of the State laws. He told them that the Government would not much longer make propositions to them; but that the privileges here tofore extended to them, in aiding them to remove, would be withdrawn, and leave them entirely and solely under the State Government- He further told the m, the Presi dent was ihen in Tennessee, where he would be happy io meet a Delegation, provided they were inclined to enter into a Treaty. The Chief*, after receiving the message of the Government, took three days for deliberation, and then decided that they could not enter into a Treaty, or move West of the Mississippi; and that therefore it would be unnecessary lor them lo visit the President. There were, however, several Indians, and among them some of vhc Principal Chiefs, who rose after the Agent had delivered bis message and views, and addressed the coun cil at some length in behalf of the view* of the Govern ment. One object of the meeting was to pay the Indians their Annuity, hut owing to the manner in which it has been ordered to he paid, they would not receive it. The grand objection on their part, was, that the Indians, who had moved West had no right to any portion of the annu ity—this course was no doubt dictated to them by the Cberokees, who closely attend the council. At the close of the meeting the Sheriff*of Montgomery county, served a writ on one of the principal Chiefs, and took him from the council to Montgomery, C. H This will no doubt have considerable effect, as it will convince the Indians that the Laws of the State are in full oppera- tion. —oo:o:oo— [communicated.] To the Editor of the Athenian— Sir:—In my last epistle, I charged you with having violated the obligation of truth and justice, by knowingly, and intentionally, misrepresenting facts, drawing there from deductions which you felt were untrue, and attempt ing to give them currency for the purpose of inculcating a belief of them upon the minds of your readers. In do ing this, I have not rested my claim to credibility upon hare assertion; the anxious enquirer after truth, always demands the production of evidence; and in pursuit ofihg plan proposed at setting out, I adduced such evidence to fortify my positions as could not fail to satisfy the most fastidious, of the fullness and sufficiency of the pro f. But sir, 1 have, (if it were possible,) evidence of a still more conclusive character for exhibition to your optics; and that you may be furnished with every view of the case, capable of working compunctions of conscience, the first step necessary to a thorough reformation from your sins, I here hold it up for your contemplation. In your pref ace to “Phocion,” you presume to say that the editors of the Statesman, “had no decided objection to it,” because it “was published unaccompanied by any editorial re marks.” Now, what excuse will you offer to the abused credulity of your readers; how attempt lo justify a depar ture from truth, so palpable as the above? In the same number of the Statesman & Patriot, dated 6th February, 1830, from which you extracted the strictures of “Pho cion,” and which you assert contains no “editorial re marks” upon that communication, we find the following; “Our Northern friends and our correspondent Phocion, have fairly rode down the Indian Poney, and it would be cruel in us to mount him in his present predicament.”— Here you have an expression of the editor’s sentiments in a strain of irony less equivocal, than could have been con veyed in the same number of words of a graver import That I received it in the sense here given, is manifest from the sinule reflection, that it restrained the offering for publication of similar essays, suggested by a subject so prolific of incidents. And I would »«k one so familiar wit? the interpretation of “knutty questions” as 1 suppas you to be,—who hud a belter right to construe editorial remarks upon an original communication, than its author? or whoceuld better understand the sense they were intend ed to convey, and the spirit that dictated them? Yet, sir, to remove every ground for cavilling— to close every crevice through which you may hope for escape out of the dilem- cscitcnacnf at lac South, should throw oil upon the flarnce already in progress. It is discouraging lo the friends of the Union to witness such an ominous interference, in matters which seem to be, by the exertiona of the Execu tive, in a train of amicable adjustment. If we mistake not, almost every State in the Union, and among them, New York herself, has legislated for the unfortunate In dian. This appears to be a settled principle, both of the General and State Governments. While therefore we maintain that Georgia has a right to extend her laws over all persons within her limits, we should be among the last to encourage any course that might thwart the pacific po licy of tne President, or apply direct force in removing this unhappy remnant of once powerful nations from their residence. We believe that the cuurse proposed by Jack- son comports both with the principles of policy and the benevolent rules of the best directed philanthropy.—And we question whether Congress can find, either in the Con stitution or laws of the Union, any right for the exertion of such an influence over this subject, as the memorial calls upon it to exe-cise. We can therefore regard it only as one of those painful occasions to the disaffected of the Southern States, to rail against other portions of the Un ion, and lo keep up that inflammation of the public mind, which it has ever been our constant endeavor to appease and allay.” This article yon will scarcely Live the hardihood to de ny, contains the most unqualified disapprobation of the objects of the memorialists. In the extract from the pa per in which “Phocion” first appeared, that production was, as you now must remember, classed with the pro ceedings of “our northern friends,” or in other words, the New York memorialists—consequently, the reproba tion of one, was the reprobation of the other; and the language employed towards the memorialists, was thus designedly applied to the sentiments of “Phocion.” 1 have been thus careful to trace you through the intricate labyrinth ofyour insinuations, allusions, and misrepresen tation-*, until all obscurity being removed, I have fairly proven the facts charged upon you. How you will com mence self exculpation, remains to he seen. The evi dence here introduced, has always been before your eyes; you cannot therefore resort to the plea of ignorance with out subjecting yourself to on imputation nearly as odious as that now denting unto you. The conclusion, there fore, is irresistablc, that you have acted with deliberation, and a perfect knowledge of the want of rectitude in the choice of your means. The adequate motive, by which you have been influenced to this course, will be fairly dev; loped, and a full exposition of your designs exhibited in broad relief, when we shall arrive at the close of this article. Although my principal object has been to penetrate the veil you have drawn around the subject, and to let in up on your dark schemes the exposing light of truth, 1 have been forced by the nature of the case, apparently to as sume a defensive attitude ; because I could not show the real extent of your mischievous propensities, without also showing how wilfully you had misrepresented the course of the editor of the Federal Union. In other words, I could not prove that you had sinned, without unravelling the sin. You bad been permitted so long to escape with impunity, ns lo be emboldened to throw oft* the restraints of caution, by the use of which alone your more wily coadjutors ap pear leds deeply criminated than yourself—In conse quence, proofs against you have been fearfully multiplied; and you now resemble a man caught in the snare his craft had devised for others. The foregoing has been sufficient to shave, how far the “malice” in your “composition” h; ; 5 been exercised towards an individual. What follows will prove an accusation of graver character. It will be shewn how fi.r this “malice” is disposed to carry you in ‘hostility to the Union of the States and the institutions by which-amjr social blessings have been acquired and per petuated. In doing this I shall confine myself to rules ot evidence employed by you in passing judgment upon your opponents. To the propriety of this course I cannot suppose you will enter an objection, as it was no doubt the justice and fitness of these rules that recommended them to your own use. And here candour compels me to add, that having found so much to condemn in your practice, it affords me a singular pleasure to bear record to whatever in your theory is deserving commendation. In laying down general rules, you sumetimes stumble up on one, just, equitable, and worthy of all praise. Were you as fortunate in the application of them, l should have been spared the disagreeable necessity (for I assure you I derive no pleasure from doing so) of inflicting upon you the pain, which,as a sentient creature, I suppose you to re ceive from this castigation. Not a small portion of the merit I have ascribed to some of your maxims, arises from the fact, that by their aid I have been able to detect your own tergiversations; and by a natural application ofthem, your designs have been fairly deduced and proven. Tn laying down these principles, therefore, you have provided the means for your own condemnation; and with asort of fatuity incident to a departure from the dictnles of sound oiorality, supplied your opponent with the very weopans he would have chosen to combat you. I have amplified this point beyond what may appear necessary, because I would put you upon your guard against this suicidal arrange ment of argument, by means whereof cour opponent loses some of the credit to which he would be entitled, were they not ready furnished to his hands. But we will non return to the case in point. You assume it as a settled principle, that when, a com munication is published unaccompanied by disapprobatory editorial remarks, it is fair to presume that the editors had no decided objection toil. Let us scan your own opera tions by the aid of this rule—let us test the propriety of your own intentions, and doctrines, by this maxim of your own devising; and if it leads to a development of the most startling and flagitious consequences, you must not im pute to him who applies the rule, the odium of crimes dis covered i,y it—for “out of your own mouth will you be condemned-” Do you recollect, sir, a certain letter writ ten sometime in the month of March last (as I believe,) by one Thomas Cooper, M. D. to one Daniel Webster? Du you not remember, sir, that the letter aforesaid con tain* d the most infamous libel upon our government, and the basest slander of our institutions, that licentious knavery could invent?

July 31 4 at CALL - [communicated.] TO THE PEOPLE OF JONES COUNTY. You no doubt recollect that in the year 1827, you dis carded one of your public servants whom you had the year belore honored with the. highest vote for Members to re present you in the Legislature of the State; and against whom, so far as came to the knowledge of the writer, no charge was brought, except that cf voting in the negative, on a “Bill to prevent the testimony of Indians being receiv ed in Courts of Justice.” Yen also recollect that the pi- pereofthe day contaimd some severe animadversions on this particular vote'—yet it appears that one of your mem bers during the lust Session, who is again asking for your suffrage, notwithstanding your admonition so expressly given on this subject, actually voted lor a Bill repealing the aforesaid law and admitting Indians to testify against white persons. Now, I ask you, if this act w as so crim inal in 1827, how can you justify it in 1830? Are not the Indians as degraded, as corrupt, as completely lost to all sense of honor, of justice or religion, now as then? If there has been any moral or religious improvement among them since, the writer would rejoice to hear it—he be lieves there has been none. Then 1 presume you cannot justify an act in one man, that you so decidedly condemned in another. Will the red ticket people, although so clam orous then, say it is all right now?—You will not suffer yourselves to be thus imposed on. CONSISTENCY. iff aaa 133 IB ¥11 3 Si AND SEE!
