cunnot be otherwise expected than that there will

xud that local considerations will have iheir full
weight ; but these, though for n time they may
create excitement nnd a little heart-burning in
the Union ranks, will ultimately yield to the force
oftlie opinions of the majority, nnd it is ardently
hoped that the Union party will act in this matter
with that unanimity nnd concord that has charac

sacrificing their private predilections and local
prejudices to the public good.

The quaint but expressive language of sailors
is well represented by Srnollette, iu the sea scenes
of his novels. Thus in Roderick Random,

mate, a Welchman, to get a prescription for a
brother sailor.
‘Vis be tead or aiivo ?” asked the Welchman.
“Dead!” replied Jack. “if be was dead, lie
would have no occasion for Doctor’s stuff*. No,

they have been yard arm and yard arm these

of his under jaw have given way.”

FOR THE TELEGRAPH.
Mr. Editor,—The subject of the next presi-
dcn'i i! election is becoming to be frequently sgi
Mic I amongst the Union Parly in this .section of
the Slate. It is well known that agreeable to
th- uniform custom observed by his predecessors,
our presrrit worthy Chief Magistrate (Jen Jack-
sun will retiro from office so soon as his present
icrni expires, and tho question is frequently ask
ed, who amongst the mauy-great men of the na
tion ought the Union men of Georgia to support
In succeed Iiitn ? There are some, I fear, who
are inclined to Iciid a helping hand to Martin
Vm Burch ; but in this part of the State, they
arc fortunately for the Republic, “few nnd far
hetweeu.” The great mass of the Union party
of Georgia have too long known the selfish and
unprincipled policy of this gentleman to lend him
the least possible countenance. Like many other
political gamblers that nr present disturb the
country, he had rather “reign in Purgatory than
serve in Heaven.” For such a man this glorious
Union has no use'. The Union men particularly
would look on his elevation as -war, pestilence,
atril f-jmiut*.*’ It was lint a short time since that
.Mr. Van litircu looked on the Uniou party (I
mean that portion of it composed ot the old Clark
party,) as the scurf and filth of the Stato. This
was of course at a time wheu we were in tbe
minority ; but uow when we are uppermost, and
hivp it in our power (ogive the vote efthe Slat*-
la whom we please ; why we are all at onre the
'Ty pink of perfection! Think you. Mr. Editor,
the Union inen of Georgia ran or will think of
voting for such a man ? iu, sir. they would soon
er go iu for a consistent, honest, and honorable
opponent. - ...
Hut there is no necessity for thus choosing.—

A TO TRE (PUBLIC.
“-'CENT attempt to prejudice my standing with
*he public, will justify this address, and apolo
gise lor w jj at might otherwise seem an unauthorised
intrusion, jj ; s J. ;n0 wn to every man who is in the ha
bit of reading any one of the Gazettes of Georgia, that
before commencing to draw my Lotteries, and simul
taneous with the nnnnuciation of my first Scheme,' I
distinctly stated the authority upon which I acted.—
That authority was nothins less than an Act of the Le
gislature of tho State, punting the right to the Com
missioners oftlie -Madison, Morgan county; Academy,
and transferred by them to mo for a valuable conside
ration.
Tho Deed of conveyance was put upon the records
oftlie superior court of Jlorgan county, and the origi
nal retained by me at my office in Macon, where every
mart in the community was invited to call and inspect
it for himself. Thus was I permitted to proceed, with
the drawing of nine Classes without the slightest in
terruption ; nor was the faintest whisper in denial of
mvauth-.ritv heard, until the recent adjourned term of
Bibb superior court, when I was formally presented
by the Grand Jury for “vending Lottery Tickets a-
gainsttlic Laws of tho State.” On being informed of
the accnsatibn I immediately presented myself to the
court, and proposed to join instant issue with my ac
cusers. The case was passed by from day, to day for
near a week, under what pretence I know no(, with
out the slightest reference to it by the State’s counsel,
and the court was on the eve of a final adjournment.
when I again went forward and demanded a trial
All that I asked was a fair trial; yet that was denied
me ; not by tho in justice of the Judge, nor by any im
proper conduct of the Solicitor General, of whom I
do not complain, but by the persevering malice of my
enemies who made these upright officers, and the law
itself the ministers of tlieir malignity. Therq was not,
there could not be any just cause for refusing me a tri
al. The simple issue was, whether I had the authori
ty ofthe Stato of Georgia to vend Lottery Tickets.
The trial of that issue did not depend upon
any e.xtra-neous evidence. No witnesses were
wanting to prove any of the facts, all of which
were fully admitted and justified by the plea
dings. tVhat motive then could my accusers have in
hanging up this charge over me but to weaken the con
fidence of the public in my enterprise, and if possible,
to rnin mo in my business. Against such untiring
persecution I was driven to my only defence. Denied
a fair trial, I was compelled to take advantage of the
blunders of my accusers to escape their rergcance.
I now again invite the public to examine my author
ity to draw the “Georgia Literature Lottery.” I again
repeat that I derive that authority indirectly from the
Stato of Georgia,, through John Wingfield. William
Johnston. Isaac Walker, and Nathaniel Allen, Com
missioners of .Madison Academy. These gentlemen
are knownto the public, and stand equal with the high
est in the community for intelligence and integrity:
and will any one venture to say that snch men would
put their hand and seal to the conveyance of a right
which they did not possessor had no power to convey?
The charge against me equally, implicates them. If I
have no right by law as manager and proprietor, to
draw the Lottery, they by their deed have attempted to
give me a power to violate the law. But on this sub
ject I have taken the most abundant camion. For the
protection of my own interest, and with a view to sat
isfy the community, I have caused the subject to be in
vestigated by the best legal talents which the country
conld afford. The result of that investigation hasbeen
•already given to thp public, under the names of the
professional geutlemen who were employed to inves
tigate it. They all concur in the opinion, of which
they do not intimate the shadow of a doubt, that my
right to drase my Lotteries is clear. What will he the
next shift of my enemies I know not. Silenced in the
denial of my right, they may attempt to deprive me of
the public confidence, without which all must know
that I cannot possibly succeed. But on this point I
feel that I have but little cause for apprehension. A
generous public will never listen to the suggestions of
ill will, or condemn without a hearing. This is all I
ask, and let those who are opposed to me and uiy en
terprise say what they may, I shall continue to rely for
confidence and support upon a steady and uniform ad
herence to my unaltered motto,
Promptness without delay, and
Punctuality with despatch.
