Schley and Fort. For what purpose Justitia has singled nut the latter gentleman as an object for his splenetic ef fusion, 1 cannot conjecture—It may be disappointment— lie may suppose himself better qualified for tlie appoint ment thou the gentleman of whom be complains; he may have cevoted the distinction his imagination ascribes to it: and this may be the real cause of his lugubrious com plaints. It may be the trustees have done the institution injustice by preferring the Doctor to him. But of this, every man must be his own judge. For one, it is my be lief, that the institution could not h ive been as much ben- efitted ly the selection of any other man in the State; Jus- titias’ and his sapient editors’ opinion to the contrary not withstanding. PLAIN TRUTH. {COMMUNICATED] THE DEVIL WITH A NEW CLOAK ON. Can it be possible that an enlightened peo pie can be duped and bhnded by exposing tills tnonster naked in the first instance, and then throwing around him a wardrobe that is alto gether comely and telling them that it is total ly a different personage? 1 would ask the peo ple how long has it been, siuce they were re quested to endorse upon their tickets ' Conven tion or no Convention ” Did they tfot then de cidedly show that they did not want a Con vention. And now, by some designing men they are called upon to endorse upon their tickets, “Reduction or no Reduction." Now I would ask the individuals who devised this new scheme, what is the difference in the two propositions. The former was a plain and di- go ou with tins important reform, change the College from a school of party politics to one for (he acquisition of sci ence and useful knowledge, and make it wuat the framers of the Constitution intended, the University of Georgia, then indeed will these trustees have done more for tht good of the institution, than all who have gone before them, and acquire a title to be enrolled in its chronicles as patriotic men willing to face the responsibility of res cuing a sinking institution from the strangling embraces of its friends. And if, as i? insinuated by this writer, Governor Gilmer is the author of this commencement of a great reform, he too will have acquired a title to the gratitude of the people. But Justitia is not only dissat isfied wi h the policy of the course pursued. If the trus tees had consulted him, and left out Dr. Fort, he would have suffered less from the innovation. With Judge Schley beseems to be well enough satisfied; but the ap pointment of I)r. Fort fills him with the horrors. It is manifestly the object of this writer to drive Dr. Fort from the board. If lie knows the man he would thus in timidate, he must have studied his character to little pur pose. He has not faced the Lion, to be frightened at the Jackal!.

But this writer in the warmth of his feelings, our friends of the North and South reap the fruit—crack them—and throw us—two—and the shells!

FROM TilE CONSTITUTIONALIST. v-; : appointment by a Troup board, of two <*euiiemen oft he Clark party as Trustees of vnr University, is lauded in certain quarters as nn example of liberality and magnanimity, which will go very far to extinguish party spir it. With all our heart do we hope the expe riment may succeed—we had much rather see Georgians divided upon great constitutional questions, than upon petty grounds of dispute —grounds shifting with every current of the political waters—now deep sunk by so&e tur bulent wave, new elevated a.b0V6 the surface, by the changeful influences of wind and flood We have always desired to obliterate the di-- ^tinctions of local politics—from thr limes when ♦there arose an outcry against William H.

Clark, and they could not support Mr. Crawford. We claimed a support from all parties for Troup and the Treaty upon the ur gent pleas of St.<te Rights—State Honor, and State Interests—our opponents did not see I .he matter in the same light with ourselves and still clung to the Clark banner; a banner which even at this hour, lauats proudly over a compact partv—while the flag of the Troup ers is somewhat I *rn and run] d although it yCt essays to flutter over ranks n- t entirely un broken/ We say nomiog of th" exercise of power in 1825. when a ! l terms of concihafi >ri were rejected and a wide proscription was it> Uij>e«l—mar.v and many have been the over- D ' y \ ures and efforts—vain and unavailing—to pro duce the results that are expected to flow from the late elections ir: tin Board of Trus tees at Athens.

Fort “has dime ail hecouM to para lize the efforts of the Government of Georgia to obtain redress from the Federal Government for the wrongs she had suffered, and to prevent the republican principles of the Jeffersonian school from acquiring the ascendancy in the State.” And again, he is charged with “antipathy to Franklin College, and consequently to public education,, and to the people acquiring knowledge and ability to iiis* net Call for a Convention, the latter a mediate tinguish between right and wrong ’* It is known that Dr Fort did not approve of the means resorted to by Governor Troup to acquire the Indian lands. Mi.der mtins had h®tn equally successful in the .tanas of Go?er** r Qaik; an( j t 0 them it is known he ^ gate the hearty concurrence. The confusion pro- ‘ udlea by the old and new treaties as they were called was the offspring of the weak counsels and weaker ad ministration ol Mr. Ad mis. Whoever heard that Dr. Fort advised the annulment of the old treaty? No one. —It is true, that when the new treaty was entered into at Washington, postponing the acquisition ef the Coun try a few months, and came out with Mr. Adams’ bully ing letter, Dr. Fort did not approve the manner in widen Gov. Troup met the Ciisis. Gov. Troup however, suc ceeded, Liriy frightened Mr. Adams out of the field, and got possession of the territory a few months sooner by Ids boldness. It lacks a great deal of being yet proven that this was the best course to be pursued. And Geor gia has jet to struggle against the powerful prejudices raised against her on that occasion. There is no doubt in my mind, that the present difficulties in the removal of the Cherokee*, are greatly augmented by this course.— As ,o that contest having any thing to do with Jeffersonian politics, il is known that Dr. Fort did not approve of the violence ol Gov. Troup less than Mr. Jefferson did, and this his published letters will shew. 1 desire the reader to understand. that this communication is not intended as a full answer to Justitia. If that part of his piece which relates to the Troup candidate at the file Governor’s elec- tion with all its insinuations, allusions, an i discoveries, be worthy of a reply, it must be derived from some ether so.r e; i shall not touch it. But I shall not quit the subject without sdveiting to some cf his round assertions and groundless charges.— VY ithout the least regard to truth and decency, this writer cha g-s Dr. Fort with a “known antipathy to Franklin College, and consequently to public education, and to the people acquiring knowledge and ability to distinguish be tween right ami wrong.” Again—he says, Dr. Fort has, while in the legislature, taken a i decided and repeated stand” against the College. To these may Lc added the gratuitous editorial endorsement which precedes this far rago of crimination. Mr. Grr.ntland thinks Dr. Fort “a man of strong mind, without many ef the advantages of early education, the advantages of which he does not pro bably appreciate as highly as they deserve.” Now, a- the next Legislature? Do you not know he has always placed himself in the front of the buttle wheii your rights have been trampled on, and when your opponents would take away the last of your privileges, has be not breasted the storm? If there is aught of praise or censure, iu the conduct of the Court he is fully willing to bear his pro portion, but the other members w ill not thank their calum niators for such representations of neutrality. How un fortunate for our opponents that they have raised this hue and cry about party proscription. Ebt for this the public would not have known that in selecting Jurors in 1828, when the majority of the population in this county were on our side, but our opponents ruled the Court, they had the modesty to take but three Troup men to one of the opposite side. Nor would it have been known that m& ny worthy Troup ir.en were then rejected for their luke warmness and their places filled with those of purer stamp. Was there no talents among th" Clark party at that peri od? Alas their talents were viewed with the nuked eye, and thoseoflheiropponents, with a modern microscope. I have not taken up my pen to defend the conduct cf oui present Court. It needs no defence—hut when charges of coiruption-aind partiality, w ithout a shadow of support; are palm d upon the people, it is time for honest men to come boldly forward, and declare the truth. I trust that our citizens will be true lo their county and to themselves, and that none of the Jisciples of Cooper, Hayne and Ha milton, will have the honor of representing them in the next Legislature. CATAHOOCHEE. call lor the same. F r how would it be possi ble to reduce the representiitii n without cal ling a Convention. If the mere expression of the people could change the Constitution in that particular regard then there could be no impropriety or danger in voting for a re duction But a Reduction is not the object of the Instigators. They have other mischief on hand. If the people can be duped by this metamorphosis, and a majority of them were to endorse upon their tickets “Reduction then they would have a fine field for argument. They would contend th.it the people called for a change in the Constitution, and that it was absolutely necessary that a Convention should he called to effect this great end, (when we clearly perceive that by the vote of the people heretofore, they absolutely abhor a Conven tion.) But what evil might not result from a Convention? Let the Convention once be called, and the people (to use a common-place expression) may whistle for their rights. Un der the present state of party feeling the Con stitutionof the State would be wrecked from the fir-t to the last article. It might be so chang ed as to elect the Governor, Senators, and Re presentatives in Congress, Judges of the Su perior Courts and Solicitors' General fi r life, and perhaps adopt a part of the old Constitu tion of Virginia, that a man should not be al lowed the right of suffrage unless he owned iu his own right a certain quantity of the soil Are we then amid all these dangers to re ceive the monster with open arms, because a Senator from Putnam county has expended so much to clothe him in the beautiful garb of Reduction? Take care then, if he is clothed in purple and fine iinnen he is the Devil still— these writers elljr not the least reasons far these illiberal , tliercfore touch not, haDdle not, the unclean opinions and false accusations, it aught he thought that a j f i^ )rirr flat denial and suitable recrimination would answer them : as they deserve.

I have not gone back fui- ther than 1821, not hiving been able tn procure the Jour- n ds of the y-ers he served txiore that time. But I have found enough for my purpose. In L82l, an act was pass ed to proii le fjr the perui..ncnt endowment of the Univer sity, and to appropriate monies for a new Collegiate edi lice. This bill passed the House of Representatives on the 27th November—the yeas and,nays not recorded— Uutuii the next day, an attempt was made to reconsider it, whirl; if successful, wouluhave inevitably destroyed it: arid this motion failed but by a single vote—Dr. Fort vo ting ..gainst the reconsideration, with the friends of the College, I think it proper to be thus particular with re gird to tins vote, as the bill saved by it, is unquestionably by far the most important and beneficial measure ever u- dopted for tne College. It upproprian d funds from which to raise $25,000 to build a new College, and secure to the ins ilutioii an unfailing annual revenue of $8,000 or upwards (>ee Journals, p. 105.) much for Dr. ! Fort’s d: cideu hostility to tne College. But let us see how j far lie has shewn Lis desire to keep the people in ignor ance. Col. Campbell, whose zeal in the cuuse of every > species of learning was untiring, and who having paid the ( debt of natuic is u u longer in the way of Justilia’s Troup ' candidate, end consequently entitled to u mite of Lis praise, introduced the iicXtyear (1822) a bill to establish •‘a pub.ic scat of learning in this State for the education of females.” Dr. Furt voted with the mover in favor of this bill. (See Journals, page 198 ) In this same year (1822) we find Dr. Fort originating the m ist lmpoi tanl scheme of public education ever pro pos'd to the people of Georgia. This proposition was one for the establishment of common schools throughout tins State. Tins law which was unfortunately lost iu the Senate, was proposed and reported t» the House by Dr. Fort, and passed by a handsome m jority—Col. Camp bell voting with him in this instance as lie had voted with the Colonel iu the preceding. (See Journal, pages 51, !U5, 2<J5, 206 and 297.) This bill which was but ttie be ginning of the invaluable system of common schools now spreading rapidly over the United States, was based on the taxing power of the government operating on the pro ductive property of the people. Its moral was—that ed ucation is a public concern, ought io he free to all, and based on the property of the people, and would h ive yicld- thing A word to the voters of what these big men call the poor counties, and I am done. In dc hating upon this question in the Senate, the last session of the Legislature, a gentleman from Morgan county, declared that he would sooner represent one of the Rotten Boroughs in England than to represent one of those poor counties. Thus you may discover in what es timation yon are held by these big men. and fake the alarm Vote against the Reduction— thereby you will vote against a Convention A VOTER. To the Citizens oj Gwinnett county. Fellow-Citizens—1 had flattered myself that party spit it was on the mb, arid the horrid din of Troup and Clark was gradually subsiding, especially in this quarter where the gold fever seems absorbing every other interest, but I regret that recent events have changed my opinion. There are restless ambitious spirits among us, whose ele ment is the whirlwind, and whose moltn is “better reign ia hell than serve in heaven.”—The prospect of a defeat at the approaching election has filled them with alarm and they are now making one desperate dying effort to rally Iheir forces. If we go to a Justices’ Court we will there find them sneaking into the corners of fences and behind log houses, spreading th^ir poison among the ig uorant and unwary. They tell them—V\ kai? Why that the Inferior Court of this county, being composed of a majority of Clark men, have, by an assumption of power, met together—laid their sacrilegious hands upon the Grand Jury Box, ejected the names of all those worthy Troup men who bud served iheir county- so long and so faithfully, and tilled their places with their unworthy op ponents. Who would suppose such impositions would be swallowed?—Must we admit there are many in the county too ignorant to think and act. for themselves, and readily take what, is dealt out by their dictators as the ruft of their conduct? Yes, and theie are many who knmvinfly and wilfully believe a lie—who will garble statements and |*ei vert facts to suit their own views till even conscience never reaches them.

In 1825 the last year he served, we find from the Journals, that yet another attempt was made to amend the law for the permanent endowment of this institution. And here again we find him voting with itsfrienus.

Tbalinea- verueen * , — , gjjj j sure W;18 a „ abortive attempt made to procure an appro- e-ilmrtvto the exclusion of another nearly equal, amd some hne superior in number, is proof positive that tins institution has been managed with party views far party purposes. And this is the management which a tnan as- sumiiw the name of Justitia, desires to render perpetual Every one will admit, that the University has thus far met with a cold reception amongst the people; and that its success has not equalled the expectation of its friends - What may have caused this result, will of course be a question variously answered. I believe that the man agement ‘*o reluctantly given up by Justitu, is the principal cause of this failure; and that this departure by the Uuatfics from was cohered the established ' priation lo build a house Jbr the President. A thousand reasons for this vote might be offered without supposing hostility lo tiie College. He might for one, think Uic ve ry liberal salary of the President competent for every rea sonable purpose of convenience and enjoyment. But if Dr. Fort extended a liberal band to the College at Ath* ens, Irt it be remembered that he shrunk from no proper occasion, public or private, to express his sentiments free ly on its management. Its party character he steadily denounced, and often pointed out those causes of unpopu the people by asserting that this selection was a meie exercise of power. As to the charge that the Troup men have all been stricken from the list of jurors, so far from it that thty still possess a majority in that body, and that the court has evidenced a liberality of feeling which cer tainly did not characterize those who made the former se lections. ’Tis true changes have been made. The court did not deem it necessary to take the old list as a stand ard, or rely on the judgment of lueir predecessors in of fice. They chose to exeicise their own. The present list, 1 am informed, was selected from the tax book, which every candid citizen will admit, was the proper mode of doing justice to all. But, say they, you have rejected some of our most worthy men, such as ministers of the gos pel, &c. True, there were some Preachers and Post-Mas ters who would have made honcst&eapable Jurors, whose names were not put on the list—hut was it not well known Unit they had generally claimed un exemption under the protection of tne law, and is it essential to the prosperity of the county of Gwinnett that there should be honorary members among the Grand Jurors?—Would it be fair or impartial to give auy set of men the right of serving or declining, according us it suited their own views and feel ings? There were others whose names were rejected, for what (I presume) the Couit considered “good cause,” and the Court is sustained in their opinion by a large majority of the county. And who are those who are thus active in circulating these vile slanders upon the authorities of this county? Are they not prominent characters of the Troup party? at least they think themselves such, but the people nine times out often, have told them they were mis taken. Fellow-Citizens—Do you know why all this exertion to mislead}ou in regard to the transactions of the Inferi or Court? Do you not know that a member of that Court, FROM THE MACON TELEGRAPH. We have heard it observer!, that insidious exertions are making against Mr. Lumpkin, and that the probability was. that he would be left out c-f the next Congress The first we have good reason to b lieve is true; but we cannot believe that these exertions will suc ceed, we cannot believe that his election wdl be defeated. The people surely cannot be so unmindful of his claims upon their confidence and their gratitude The active part he has taken in sustaining the interests of the South aud the rights of this State in all the confro- versv with the General Government and re specting the Indians, cannot certainly be over looked. We ha ve heard no reason assigned for vot ing against Mr. L. only that he is a Clark naan, audit being a general rule with many to vote for none such on any occasion. It is also in sidiously surmised, that he will lose many of his old supportors from the erroneous idea that he has changed sides! This assertion though false, iscircuiated with a good deal of industry, and if not timely arrested, w ill do Mr. L more injury than any thing ehc. True Mr. L dif fers with some of his Clark friends, and a- greeswith many Troupers on some points of National policy: this is 7 not at all to be won dered at, where questions arise embracing such an unlimited range of construction. But Mr. Lumpkin has not changed sides: it i9 absurd to imagine any such thing. Why should he do so? Why should he at this late hour, and at this stage of the game, abandon the party and the principles he has supported, and that have supported him to join the opposite side? What could he gain by such a somerset?— Would the other party take him up? By no means: he could gain nothing by such a ma- neuvre, while he would risk every thing that he already has; his own party would abandon him, and the other party would laugh at him for his follv. An insinuation of this sort, how ever, is in circulation, and has been for some time; but we have thought it too ridiculous to need contradiction, and have never noticed it, until it is beginning to be believed. We hope those who have lent their influence in circula ting this unfounded report, will now have the magnanimity to contradict it and acknowledge their error. Unanimity of views and feelingi on every question cannot be expected A man may differ from some of the leading men of a party without incurring the imputation of having changed sides The policy pursued by Mr. Lumpkin we be lieve to have been an honest one, and one that will ultimately prevail.
