public Intelligencer. __ SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, September 25, 1807. j .the election. sniorr-ctTUENs, ON the sth cf the ensuing month you will be called upon to difeharge a duty impor tant to yourselves—important to your country. You are a people favosed with many privileges ! which others of these United States cannot boau of; and, if you do not exerede those pri-J vilegeG in a manner calculated to advance the interest of your country, the fault rests with you alone. Here, every man who is a Citizen of the-United States arid pays the taxes requir ed of him, is entitled to vote for persons to re picfent Idm in the Cong refs of the United States and in the State Lcgiflature—eTen, if Poor. In fome of the o'uer .laics, a poor man, although he is compelled to pay taxes, is deprived of a vote for his representatives ; therefore, we fay you are e favored people, consequently we trull, that you will on the approaching event support men in whom confidence can be placed. It does not devolve upon us to pouftiay the character of any one cand.dnte propofed*—it only devolves upon us, as public organs, to cau tion the voters against fupportiflg men in whom they repefe unbounded confidence; therefore, we leave you to judge of the merits cf the different candidates propefed. There are many persons indifferent about eleftions of this kind—-ideh persons merit not the prcteftion of the government —for, on many occaftoas, even one Angle vote determines an ekftior.—let no one harbor the idle idea that -ids vete would be but one in the box, for that {ingle vote might be of great importance to the {late ; therefore, v/e trull, the Citizens of thii County will give a general attendance at the Poll on the sth of the approaching month, and feledt from among the candidates mentioned such persons as they may deem boil qualified to yeprefent them in the next State Legislature, Asa proof of the imnortance of a finale vote', we quote the following from the ‘ArzAi can.Mufeum “ A good Constitution is the greateff blef flng which a foeiety can enjoy. Need 1 infer that it is the duty of every citizen to uie his bell and moPt unremitting endeavors for prefer* ting it pure, healthful and vigorous ? For the accccmphilrment cf this great purpose, the ex ertions of no one city are unimportant. Let no one, therefore, harbor for a moment, the mean idea that he is and can be of no value to Ids! country : let the contrary manly impre Irion ani mate his foul. Every one can, at many time:;, perform to the hate ufeful services ; and he, who Readily pursues the read of patriotism, has the moft inviting profpeft cf being able, at fame times, to perform eminent ones. Allow me.to direst your attention, in a vtify particular manner, to a momentous party which, by this confeitution, every citizen veil! be called to aft. All those in places of power mid trull will be. clafted either immediately by the people, or in such a manner that their appointment will de pend ultimately on such immediate election .All the derivative movements cf government dull spring from the original movement of the people at large. If to this they give a fufficient force and a just direction, all the others will be governed by its controling power. To (peak without a metaphor, if the people, at their elec tions, taite care to chocfe none but representa tives tnat are wife and good, their reprefentr.- t'.ve w.li take care, in their turn, to choose or appoint none but such as are wife and good also. ■Fue remark applies to every succeeding elec tion and appointment. Thus the characters proper for public officers will be ditfufed from I the immediate elections of the people over the fremo.e(t parts of adminillration. Os what im mense consequence is it, then, that this primary \ jduty fhouldbe faithfully and fkilfullydifcliarged ? On the faithful and skilful diicharge of it, the! public happiaefs or infilicity, under this and; every other conititutiun, mu it, in a very great measure depend. For, believe me, no govern jneat, even the bell, can be happily admhiiilered by ig.iorant or vicious men. You will forgive me, I. am Cure, for endeavoring to impress upon 3’our taiadj, in the ftrongell ounuur, the irnnyr * i tauce cf this great duty. It is the hrft concoc tion in politics ; and if ah error is committed’ here, it can never be correfled in any fubfequenf proccfs : the certain coufequence mud be dif eife. Let no one fay that he is but a fmgle citizen; that his ticket will be but one in the box. That one ticket may turn the election. In battle, every soldier should confider tlie pub lic fafety as depending on his iihgle arm. At an eledtion, every city should confider the pub lic happinefe as depending on his single vote.” At a numerous meeting of the Republican ci tizens of Savannah, convened at the Filature, on Monday evening the 21 ft inllant, for the pur pose of nominating candidates to be supported at the ensuing general election for members of the State Legislature, from the county of Chatham—The honorable A.

IN contemHting this earthly iirbitcticn, we cannot but look forward to one far rival*’ in teresting, far more pleasing, and moll assuredly far more happy, where the good red from their labors ; the young and innocent are received ss angels of eternal lilt's. Why then, Oh !

No, The above thoughts have flown front one , whole misfortune it has been to lee a larger part of his own orspring early entombed in their fi. ! lent graves. j We learn by n gentleman from Richmond, j that the jury summoned on the trial ot Burr for , the Misdemeanor, was fwornon Wednesday, and ■ that two of the witneiTes were examined—when a motion was made to arrest the evidence !

By a gentleman from the Hate of Ohio, we learn, that a number of the neighboring Indian’ have come into our settlements, and claim the protedton of the United States—having been threatened by the Northern Indians on the Lices, that u they did not unite with them m a war against the United States, they should be attache J by the Lid Northern Indians.

A scandalous publication copied from the Waihington Federal)(l, under the heads of Hu manity and Inhumanity, is, by the request of the author, going the rounds through the channel of fee al prints. The purport of the articles in quefticn is too glaring to doubt their object, ‘fhe following are tile remarks of the Editor cf the Baltimore Federal Gazette, on relufing to give publicity to the foul calumny ; “ The French arr.baifador, General Turrcau, is polled, by “ A Chrillian,” in the Washington Fedgrahft, as a barbarian oj the blacked hind; and the writer requests than his communication J “may be re-publiihed throughout the union.”; Good authority must be fiiewn to induce the: Editor of this Gazette to lend him aid in circu lating inch a report.

Build a round water-tight ’vtffel, 100 feet in diameter. I 2. CJullrudl within it three open galleries, to go all round it, one above another, each 00 feet broad for 5 tier of guns. i, 3. On each of theie galleries, andkit equaldjs ’ trace, place HD great girts ; the veiTd will then carry 00 great guns. T o calculate her draft of water and take the Cubic!: foot of lalt water at 50 pounds. Fhea the vcilel to fettle her one foot deep in the water will require a weight equal to 390,000 pounds. j Ninety great guns with the carriages, &c. es timated at 4000 pounds each, is 360,000 lbs. consequently the vessel will not be felted in the water, by her means of defence more than 12 in ches, and lier utir.oil draft when loaded cannot j exceed 24 inches. This being premised, it follows, that allowing (even feet for between decks, the enure depth of the refill mail be about 17 feet.
