jptBtra! Stiffen* MILLEDGEVILLE: SATURDAY, SEPT. 11, 1830. The following contains a full list of the Candidates for fjol'gress, so far as we have teen them officially announc ed. EDWARD F. TATNALL of Chatham, JAMES M. WAYNE of Chatham, RICHARD H. WILDE of Richmond, JOHN BILLUPS of Oglcthoipe, WILSON LUMPKIN of Wanton, CHARLES E. HAYNES of Hancock, THOMAS U. P. CHARLTON of Chatham, WILEY THOMPSON of Elbert, THOMAS FOSTER of Greene, DANIEL NEVVNAN ofH.nry, SEATON GRANTLAND of Baldwin, 1 ROGER L. GAMBLE of Jeff, rson, HENRY G: LAMAR of bibb, REUBEN C. SHORTER of Jasper. JCT* Fourteen Candidates—Smn to be elected. We-have heard it suggested as probable, that the Le gislature will be convoked as soon a8 possible after tU- Octoher elections. Various reasons have been assigned for tiiis supposition; and without pretending to decide op en the degree of credit due them, »e think yet another may beoftered. IL isprobahle that an unusual quantity ©fimportant business growing out of the situation uf the Indian Land question, will be laid before tne Legislature, •Which that body would not he able to act efficiently upon in the prescribed time of an ordinary-session. He *" fievc however the matter rests mere.} in conjecture. bt- On a former occasion tve called the attention of our readers to a newspaper published in Charleston, S. C under the title of “the Irishman and Democrat ” We admire the decided and manly tone of its editorial a* ti tles, together with many of the original political essays which adorn its columns. They are patriotic in the high est degree. It is no 9mall reflection upon some of our native citizens, that whilst they show themselves unwor thy the blessing* secured to them by our free govern ment m madly seeking its destruction, our naturalized citizens should be among the foremost to step forth in defence of oar institutions and laws. But so it is—and while we blush for the depravity of the former, we cannot withhold the .-xpresston of unmeasured approbation of the virtuous and patriotic c ourse °f our adop'ed brethren. The spirit of devotion to our happy union, seems confin ed to no class or particular people among them. Irish, French, German, Scotch, Israelites all. all seem to enter with enthusiasm in a determine d opposition to the mad schemes of the misguided iniav.duuls, who seek to deso late our fair country with the brand of civil war. Toe Teason seems plain. Whilst these violent men, have all theii lives rioted in the excess of that liberty secured to the citizens liy equal liws under our admirable Constitu tion. knowing no master but their o»vn licentious will,— the latter have practically known and fell the iron hand of d spotism, that ground -them to the dust in their na tive country ; and are therefore, well ab'e to appreciate the blessings secured to them, and which they enjoy in the country of th. ir adoption, our own happy America. They have been too conversant with the horrid scenes of revolution in the old world, not to set their faces—aye, their hearts and their hands, against such movements in the new. They know the people cannot be benefit 'd by revolution ; which,nf successful, would only (end to the figgrandizetnent of a few ambitious individuals. Know ing this, they are found enlisted under ihe banner of the Union. That “Star spangled Banner,” which the true patriot ever beholds with delight—which is the emblem of freedom to the oppressed, the sure sign of victory to its followers. Th" extracts from the Irishman, that are to Tie found on another page, will sneak volumes to our ppO- ple. They will here discover, who are the m o D qonfeder- ated for the iniquitous put-pose of dissolving the Ameri can Union, and to stir op the people of these St Mrs to deeds that woud make “high heaven weep.” Robert J. TcrnEuLL, who figured so largely it the Charleston disunion dinner, is here pourtrnyed ns the reviler of our venerable Jefferson ! as a man who rejoiced with the Hri- tish when successful agaihst us in the late war, and who Bewailed our victories, when heaven and our gallant sol. diers achieved them for us ! This man* spirit of hostility to our government continues to manifest i*-*etf '*v the most virulent abuse, an 1 in connection with M’Duffie, H ivne, Hamilton, and- Cooper, hy the mo«t active mea- ■S'ovstw excite our people to resistance against the laws of the Union. We request the especial attention of our readers to the article taken from a British paper, showing conclusive? that the disunionists are proceeding in the very course which the F.nelfoh government always dcsir- • cd to have accomplished. They will see that that gov ernment anticipates much benefit from rebellion in the South, and comforts itself with the hope of aaain subject ing a part of the American continent to the dominion of tiie British Crown. In Georgia too, we have our disun ionists ; so fow in number however, that they dare not openlv avow it—y»t the insidious pretences under which they endeavour to keep no excitement against our North ern Brethren, (for they have only changed thr direction of their battery trum the General Government) plainly indicates the existence of ‘he doctrines. Indeed we have presses in our State, that “commend” Cooper and the rest of his fellow la borers’in the cause of England and civil war, to the “especial attention” and veneration of the people of Georgia! To Mr. 8e.ro-. ewwJj’SSSk *«*«**• aL _ n i av, .. . _ Candidate for Con- the Southern Recorder, gress, 4*c Sjr—As you are before the people of this State a sup pliant for their suffrages at the next general election, to elevate you to the responsible and dignifi. d station of their Representative in the Congress of the United States, they have a right to know your sentiments, that their cor rectness may be judged of, in relation to certain matters which may be submitted to the test of your wisdom, should you be so fortunate as to prove successful in your election. As one therefore possessing ibis common right, I take the liberty of propounding unto you the following questions, hoping that you will condescend to answer them in that spirit of liberality and candour, for which you have cvei been remarkable. I am further embolden ed to expect from you acquiescence to this most serious and import.-nt request, since your “affiliate” of the Journal has very decidedly expressed bis approbation of tb.s wav of doing things; conceiving it fair that Can didal s for Office, should unburden their consciences hy full confession to-those they are ambitious of represent ing. As I am persuaded that you sensibly feel the pro priety of this course in the general, and the necessity for it in this particular case, I will not attempt by elaborate argument further to illustrate the utility of the measure, but pr. c.ed directly to the interrogatories I desire to h ve answered. 1st. Ought not a Representative of Georgia to possess those great moral attributes of Justice, Moderation, Magnanimity, Honesty, Veracity. Impartiality, &c. uni ted to the intellectual qualities of Wisdom, soundness of Judgment, strergih of Mind, a habit of just reflection, and a mind stored with the learning of ancient and mod ern times ? 2nd. Can a man be considered qualified for the res ponsible station of Lawgiver to a free and enlightened people, without possessing a general and thorough ac quaintance with the Science of Government ? 3rd. Can he be held adequate to the making of just and quifabie Laws, who distinguishes not between apolitical opponent, and a personal enemy ? 4th. Do you seriously suppose yourself posssessed of the qualifications here described ? 5. If you are a man of “strong mind”haveyon received those advantages of early education, necessary to fit you for judgingof the benefit resulting to society, from a gen eral diffusion of knowledge ? I pray you dont forget to answer ihri question Mr. Grantland. 6'h. Were you educated at a College. If yea, which had the honor of preparing you for the conspicuous part you are acting; if nay, where then was you educated ? Fleas answer this question Mr. Grantland. 7ih Is there, or is there not, a digested plan for dis membering tiie Union, and establishing a separate con federacy at the South, existing among a few individuals in South Carolina and Georgia, and have you or not en gaged to go the whole hog with them ? 1 solicit a cate gorical answer to this question. 8lh If elected, will you endeavour to procure a repeal of the Tariff Laws, audio preserve inviolate the sanctity uf the American Confederacy ? 9th. What think you of Thornes Cooper M. D. and bis insurrectionary schemes. Is he or not an English emissary, and do you or not venerate the man, and sub scribe to his creed ? I pray you Mr. Grantland by no means ornit to answer this question. IflUi. How long lias it been since you looked upon dis union with horror ; did you never entertain different sen timents, and what produced conversion to your present opinions ? I beseech you Mr. Grantland to tax your me mory with the answering of this question. 11th. Are you friendly to the Administration of Gen eral Jackson—were you always so ; if not, how long since your opinions changed, and what caused this revolution in them. Pray Mr. Granll&nd, a true answer make to this interrogatory. Excuse me sir for having troubled you with the solu tion of these questions, some of which may probably compel you to indulge in unpleasing reminisemecs, but I cannot think correct answers to them will be wholly unprofitable. They involve points important to the peo ple, and upon which some explanation of your views will be gratifying to them. More ought be added, but I am fearful your precious time is so much occupied with im portant preparations for your Congressional career, that vou would ne unable to “waste” any of it in the illustra tion of further propositions. The sacrifice to this pur pose of a little portion for the gratification of those con cerned. will prove you deserving to >'e entitled,the pink of courtesi/, in addition to the characteristic appellation of the “pink of purity.” ONE OF THE PEOPLE. It will be seen from some extracts published In this days ptpttr, triut a contemplated insurrection of the colored pop ulation bus been recently detected at Wilmington, North Carolina. Many have been arrrsted to undergo ihe sen- lam e of the law. Numerous copies of Walkers Pamph lets were found concealed among them. Simultaneously with this discovery, it was ascertained that the F.di’or of a little paper published in Louisiana, called the Liberal ise was actually engaged printing and circulating sedi tious p imphlcts. lie too has been arrested for trial. sC?* Wonder whether we shall be subjected to the a- busc of Mr. Seaton Grantland and his confederates, for m iking these facts known to the people of Georgia. Kentucky Elections.—Much anxiety is manifested as to the result of the elections in Kentucky, the strong ground of Mr. Clay. The returns are by no means satisfactory —the contest b is been as u-mal in that State, extremely warm, and much excitement exists. The accounts are therefore contradictory, and the result hung up in sus pense—both parties Claim a victory, and both have pub lish'd exiggerated statements of their success. One thing however 3 ems certain, Mr. Clay’s friends have been put to their utmost speed, and if they havecomeout ahead, it is but by an inch or two. Thus we discover the veto of Che Maysville road bill has not rendered the President so unpopular as his adversaries predicted. Nor can we re gard the vote of Kentucky, if favorable to Mr. Clay, as decisive of the course intended to be pursued by the other Western States. In the State of Illinois, it is said the Chy ticket has been successful. fCaptureof Algiers.—The rumor of this event has been Confirmed by cfficial despatches from Gen. Bourmont, and Admiral Duperre. TiieFrench succeeded in destroying Che Emoerors Fort, a very strong work close to the City, and commerced making preparations for an assault, which eo alarmed the inhabitants, soldiersand Dey, that the latter offered to,capitulate. The terms were imposed by the French General, and on the 5th of July the City of Algiers was occupied hy the troops of France. Hliat course will be pursued towards the vanquished, time only can deter mine. If however this uest of pirates be not crippled so As to leave them.incapable forever of returning to their murderous and plundering system, the blood and treasure of France wilt have been expended to little purpose. If on the other band a better system of government be estab lished by the conquerors, calculated tojmeliorate thejcondi- tion of that degraded people, and so contribute to the stock of human happiness, France will have achieved haoral victory, creditable to the age and the chivalry of her sous. we“°«n« e S l ^ehale» of IJ* Virginia Convention for that the Book i< now ready for delivery. From the magnitude of the subjects discussed in that Con vention, and tie ability of the Memhe r s c oraposu.g .t, we have no doubt the work in question embodies matter^ff the highest interest; and such as cannot fail to instruct the reader upon those great CunstitbUonal 9 UtSl ‘®" s " ‘ J. are must often the subjects of disagreement »n»or.g Mates- [communicated.] To the Editor of the Federal Union, Sir—I have so long delaved returning thanks for the ooinnliments paid me by his honor of the Athenian, that I doubt not lie is now. chuckling under the belief that I have been completely knocked on the head by his last dab, (excuse an expression -o fitted to ihe subject) and con signed over to ihe “Tomb of tbc Cnpulels ” Truly if abuse and vulgarity could break the bones of his antago nist, I should not now possess a whole one under my skin. Pray might not a new professorship, for instruction in a science in which he appears to have such unrivalled pre-eminence, be instituted in Franklin College under some appropriate appellation, and this “right wittie and conceited” gentleman installed professor? If it be object ed that the institution is too poor to afford the additional expense, should the professor refuse to iecture gratis, let him use his influence with the trustees to associate one or two more Clark men with them, for the purpose of con ciliating the party into another endowment. The plan seems so feasible, and I suppose would prove so agreeable to him, that f eannot help indulging the pleasant ideas to which it gives birth. How delightful would it be to his meek and quiet spirit, like an ancient philosopher, to place his controversial writings, especially those against “A Georgian,” in the hands ofhis disciples, as the very pink of classic purity and the models for all future essays of like kind! Indeed I have been so astounded at the ele gance of expression, and chasteness of thought displayed in these Charming morctavx, as to puzzle my brain with attempting to discover the source from which these pre cious relics of ancient lore have been drawn In the in vestigation of this important point, i have endeavoured to trace analogiis between the writings of the most celebra ted authors, and thesc-productions. After the mostcare- ful examination and comparison, I think I have discover ed the predominance of the wit and spirit of Joe Miller, united to the beauty of diction, and elegance of thought so characteristic of the inimitable George Buchanan.— My research into this matter has been aided by informa tion received from a friend, that the learned writer of the essays in question has often avowed his partiality for those classic authors, and is known frequently to fortify his opi nions by the weight of their maxims. Whether mv con clusion be correct, is left for the reader’s sagacity to judge. My opponent of the Athenian commences the profound criticism in his paper of the 3d August, with very gravely informing his readers, that a certain “sagacious observer of human nature” could to a tittle divine unto us the mysterious cause of a wounded pigeon's fluttering! This is a wonderful discovery truly—and certainly entitles the discoverer, with our worthy editor who records it, to gol den immortality. Yet I mu9t confess my ignorance too great to perceive how a knowledge of human nature could enable this knowing one to account for the capering of a Pigeon. Probably however the anatomy of the two ani mals may be so much alike, as to afford sufficient reason for presuming that the same cause must produce the same effect upon both systems; if so, I would thank our cour teous knight to pause a moment in his next flight, for my especial edification upon this point.' As this is a subject- of philosophy too deep for my humble thoughts to fathom, I leave it where it is found, with our philosophic editor; begging leave merely to indulge the single reflection, that this same “sagacious observer of human natuie,” so well skilled in the knowledge of Pigeon nature, might by a ve ry natural and easy transition of ideas, furnish such a description of the obstreperous animal who so repeatedly brays forth through the Athenian, as shalUeave but little doubt as to the identity of the creature. It would be in vain for me to attempt pointing out every instance of deliberate misrepresentation of which this worthy son of the type is guilty; they are so numerous, as to exceed the limits prescribed by the columns of a news paper, in the detail; and so anparant in every 8enL„.», as only to require perusal to detect them. Pin him down by argument, and he tacks a falsehood to the end of it by way of refutation; observing the same connexion of ideas as manifested in the pigeon story above recited Charge him with his misrepresentations, and he flies to language “as choice as ever emanated from the stalls and stews of Billingsgate.” As I discoter from his “writhing, con tortions, fretful and irritable soreness that the shafts have aken effect,” I will content myself tvith noticing a few of the most prominent positions be has assumed, and then v let “the poor devil go” his way. His honor says, “we he country must be surveyed and disposed of—and set were the or.-y Troop Editors who alter the election of Go* tied hy our own citizens who aye alone competent to the hand offorgiveness and reconciliation to our political op ponents.” What magnanimity! Whab wonderful clem ency! And is it possible the Clark men were such re bellious dogs, as to refuse the offered boon of mercy, not to accept his honor's forgiveness? What incorrigible sin ners—What presumptuous reprobates to stand out in con tumacy against this beneficent potentate! TeH it not in Gatli! This act of amnesty was indeed worthy of all praise—but was there no condition annexed to it, no quali fying clause tvliicb operated to annul, and render it void and of no effect? His honor farther says “We believe there are thousands oi Clark men in this State, who are in every thing but name genuine Troupers ” “This was our belief when we expressed a Wish that a portion oi the offices of government might be confided to them, and this belief remains unchanged,? Really! s^this honorable gentleman, is surprised that we do not giveliim credit for a liberality which amounts to just nothing at all! He only wanted “a portion of the offices of Government to be con. fided to”— Clark men? No! Troup men at heart! W hy, this is exactly what I have always said. I know and be lieve the leaders of the Troupers want all the offices a- mong themselves. To get them they plunged the State into hot water, and to hold on to them they endeavor al-1 ways to keep the water boiling. And does it not argue ) great want of discernment in him who uses this language,! or them of whom it is used, to suppose the latter should ' longer be gulled by a profession which is distinctly avow- j ed to be insincere? But above all does it not evince the ] most deliberate disregard of every principle of common j fairness, hunesly, and truth, to make a public profession > of liberal sentiments and feelings to the Clark party, when with consummate impudence be now gives such an expla nation of his motives as shows that he was deliberately practising a fraud upon time unsuspecting credulity 7 — Such of them as were disposeu to betray their party, and the interests of the State, by becoming right worthy con verts to Troupism, he thought ought to be rewarded by “offices ia the government.” Such as with commendable constancy honorably adhered to principle, were not inclu ded in tiiis “act of amnesty.” It was not to the Clark party that the hand of “forgiveness” and “reconciliation” ! was offered—but the traitors who deserted them. This j policy however is not new to the Troup party—some of' their present big men were so won over. If there are any I now among the Clark party so base a3 to close with the terms ofhis honor and sell themselves to the Troupers for “officesir, the Slate,” why I s& j, let them go. We shall lose nothing, and our opponents make no acquisition worth preseiving. When will tha-Clsrk party open their eyes to such base deception? When will they cease to believe such opponents as him of the Athenian honest, honorable, or sincere? Will not experience open their eyes to the fact that they are considered fair game, and fit subjects for every miserable scheme of fraud and decep tion that untiring ingenuity can invent, to cover the un hallowed design to deprive them of their rights and privi leges? They surely will not always close their eyes to these truths; they will arise fiom their slumbers and free themselves from theenares of their enemies, as the awak ing Lion shakes the dew drops from his mane. Again say the writer for the Athenian, “It is the Clark party who are keeping up party feuds, and but for them party animosity had long since gone to li»e tomb of the Capulcts.” Ilow/a/s< the assertion/ How tarr/aced the falsehood! Turn but to the columns of the Troup papers, ind there will be found proof sufficimt to show who it is that keeps up “party feuds.” If any one has patience to do so, let him read the spite ful, cat-like effusions publish ed in the Athenian, and he wjll readily enough discover one source of pat ty rancour, one cause of these “party feuds.” But these gentry are exm-mely adroit in raising a rumpus and shining the blame of il upon the head of the Clark party Their Bully of the Recorder has already had the insolence to charge the latter with hiving occasioned the controversy with the United States Government, that Troup and his satteliitcs engaged in. Want of truth with them i9 so notorious, that, a-t an horn st Troup man once confessed, they “don’t deal in the article!” Thrust the hrandof truth before the opiicsof the Athenian, and like a thievish waif prowlingot midnight around some tiavel- ier’s camp, overpowered by the glare of the torch, be hangs down his head and dropping his tail between his legs sneaks to some darker corner, where he may sit upon his haunches and utter his malicious howl, as accompani meets to his murderous intent. By all there fire who are acquainted with the propensity of these “pinks of purity” to retail falsehood, truth cannot be expected—consequent ly the above charge will not be believed. But the fact is, and it has been often reiterated, that the Clark party have aiwavs been most anxious to substitute feelings of liberali ty, for those of party rancour—so sensible are their oppo nents of this commendable trait in their political charac ter, that they invariably resort to the appearance of reci procating these sentiments, whenever they have in view the accomplishment of some purpose, which requires the aid of deception and fraud. And it was with intent to work upon this known quality of the Clark party, that his honor employed the above mentioned means of duplicity and imposition. The writer for the Athenian s ems to be expiring in a fit of sheer curiosity to know the real writer of “A Geor gian,” and having disclaimed all relationship to the prophets, ceases to prophecy, thinking it m^re characte ristic to rely upon the less infallible mode of guessing.— In pity to the “poor devil’s” perplexity," and lest the little fellow should really give up the ghost through curiosity and vexation; purely out of the excess of good nature. I will vit Id to the many solicitatior s thrown out in his paper, and indulge him so far as to say. hat if he, his “learned auxiliary,” or any uftheir ebn, kith, or kin. entertain so strong a desire for a personal interview with a Georgian, as would occasion serious ineotivenience from a refusal they can, by complying with the customary rule of printers, in such case made and provided, obtain full satisfaction of'.heir desires. I hope this annunciation will be suffi cient—at least it > ill not be my fault if (be genii* man’s disease continues, and no application be made for the re medy. The beagnrly attempt at wit, contained in thfe Athenian of the I7tb August, is in truth too pitiful to deserve no tice. His honor seems to have been made extremely sick- by the dose, hist administered to him; ahd notwithstand ing Le exhibits himself with tooth pick stuck in mouth, to encourage the idea that his appetite remains tindimin- ished, it is easy to see hy the violent contortions of his fea tures, that the niedipine has produced those qualms, and retchings, usually indicative of a sick stomach. But not withstanding the violence of these rymptoms I would ad monish him to be of good cheer. Although from the na ture of his disease, and the natural frigidity of his consti tution, I have been compelled to administer a dose of unu sual severity; one which I would nevef have offered to a patient more easily wrought upon, yet the effects are not likely to be fatal; and it remains with himself to pursue such a regimen, as may prevent an extension of the mor tification. h GEORGIAN. FOR THE FEDERAL UNION. THE CHEROKEE COUNTRY. There is no subject which more urgently imposes itself upon the Serious consideration of the people of Georgia than the one with which I have headed this communica tion. That the period-has arrived when our relationship with those people residing in this country must assume a new and different character is evidently beyond doubt.— Independent of the just right we have to its possession, there are other reasons of great weight which demand a speedy change. The peculiar condition of the country at this time—presenting the most disgusting scenes of licen tiousness, riot, tumult and blood-shed—endangering the peace of that portion of the State which lays contiguous to it—requires of our next Legislature not only prompt but the most vigorous regulations. It is known that the Indians are utterly incapable of preserving the internal quietude even were the right conceded to them—and that it is totally impracticable if not impossible for the Gener al Government to do so is equally certain This being the unfortunate condition of the country--in whom, it may be enquired, does the right and the ability concentrate, to restore and preserve peace and harmony within its dis ordered borders. It is confidently answered that the .State of Georgia is that power. Were she still disposed to forbear pressing her just demands, a due regard for her own peace would forbid it. Indeed it is a matter of won der and astonishment that more lives have not been taken, than have by those so eagerly engaged in the pursuit of Gold. From a knowledge of the human Character, we a**® .Auiij.nt reason to conclude that if law » not speed ily and effectually introduced, spectacles will be exhibited at no distant day at which humanity wHI sicken and re volt. It is true that our Saws are extended over the coun try—and it is also true that they are regarded as little aa as (he “idle wind that passes by.” From, much obser vation and mature and deliberate reflection, 1 have form ed the settled opinion that there is no practicable mode oi enforcing obedience to our laws without taking in;medi ae possession of the country, and stationing the necessa- y Judicial officers in it. To accomplish this effectually. flisefafgi of tta rterefl functions of jarfmeft. fhe <So- nent Government bos acknowledged our right ofjurisdic- : tips. It is a right which pould n»t consistently he denied us. But what benefit do we derive from the acknowledg ment if we are deprived of the only adequate means of enforcing obedience to onr laws. It would be hot an in sulting mockery at justice. I conceive that 1 hazzard nothing in asserting that the one necessarily and legiti mately succeeds the other—and that our citizens have a right to the protection of our kits wherever they are in force. Our legislative enactments being in operation o*er “the Cherokee Country” the citizens in our State re siding within its boundaries are necessarily exempt from the regulations of any other power. That these are fair and legitimate deductions, I presume willaotbequfstion ed.—There is a portion of President Jackson’s message to the last Congress immediately applicable to that branch of tbe subject now under consideration. Speaking of the Indians—he says “they should be distinctly informed that if they remain within the limits of the States they must be subject to their laws. In return for their obedience as individuals they without doubt willbe prelected in tbe en joyment of those possessions : mproved by their industry. But it seems to me visionary to suppose that in this state of things claims can he allowed on tracts of country upon which they neither dwelt nor made improvements, merely because they have seen them from the mountain or pass ed them in the chase.” The language of this portion of tbe Presidents communication is too plain to be misunder stood. There is no impediment to oppose our taking pos session of all that portion of the country “upon which (he Indians neither dwell nor have improvements.” There is also a considerable quantity of it upon which ihe Indians once resided now abandoned by them and either unoccu pied entirely or in the occupancy of the whites. By the most recent intelligence from the Nation, tve have the certain assurance that the Indians are determin ed to remain where they are.—And where, let me ask, is the necessity or propriety of longer delay. The General Government bas held out to this unhappy and deluded people the most liberal inducements to prompt them to emigrate—and in return for those friendly overtures she has been met hy taunt, insult and derision. The alterna tive is consequently now presented to us of either relin quishing unconditionally our rights—or taking upon our selves the responsibility of enforcing them. Is there a true Georgian wbo fur a moment hesi ates to make the selections? It is hoped no one The course which duty and interest both point us to pursue is plainly marked out. Let the next Legislature take actual possession of the country—elect the necessary Judicial officers and place them in it—appoint Surveyors—-have it surveyed and dis posed of in the usual manner. The Surveyors ran be instructed to notice the land upon which there is an In dian an immediate occupant, and he can be permitted to remain undisturbed. There is no kind of difficulty exist ing against our taking possession of the whole of the bat* anee. These suggestions are’ dictated by no unkind or un friendly feelings towards this unfortunate race. Tin ir own good nor. requires our interference. But although our laws will afford them partial relief, it can neither be ef fectual or permanent. Situated in the midst of the whites their condition will be wretched and degraded—being so completely unfit for the enjoyments of civilized society. Yiew them in whatever attitude we may, we can but de plore that perversity and obstinacy which they exhibit in refusing to embr ice the liberal a id philanthropic propo sitions of the Government. Notwithstanding all this there is one cheering reflection left us—that for whatever calamities may befal them in their new relationship, they are themselves alone responsible. The questions here submitted to the public view are deeply and vitally interesting to every Georgian. The hope is cherithed that all will unite and rally around the interest of the State; and that our party strifes and par ty dissensions will be generously sacrificed to tbe general good. To that portion of the State included in the Clark party, I would particularly appeal. You are not ignorant of the serious charges which have recently been prefered against you. I am but an humble member of that party—yet I feel a lively interest in whatever concerns its honor or its reputation. For myself, I can truly say, that I did not espouse its cause without mature and deliberate reflec tion; and so far as l know any thing of its principles or its policy, I believe it to be governed by motives high, no ble and patriotic. Embracing within the sphere of its operatibns, the just rights of the people, the sovereignty of the States. At the same time conceding to the Gener al Government, powers, without which its dismember ment would be inevitable. Nevertheless, in language plain and distinct, we have been told that to us was to be attributed tbe cause of our rights b< ing so long ne glected VVe all know the imputation to be both unjust and unfounded. We know that there is nothing which has marked our course as a party that can justly author ize tbe txpression of such sentiments. Charity should however incline us to the opinion that tiie individual by whom we have bee 0 - assailed is under the influence of an honest delusion. Notwithstanding our wide political dif ference, I have ever esteemed him as an worn honorable opponent. But the fair opportunity is now presented to us of undeceiving not only him but all others who enter tain similar opinions. Then let us manifest on this occa sioo, as well as all olbers heretofore, that we, as a party, are the firm steadfast frien s of the S'ate.—That whose rights mav be enforced and Our happy Union preserved is the earnest desire of NEWTON.
