LAND LOTTERY.
NO. 17:
An Attempt to shew, that the plan of disposing of
the public domain, by Lottery, is unw ise, im
politic and unjust.
To the poor People if the State of Georgia.
“ I have called, nnd ye refused', I hate
stretched out my hand, and no matt re
garded; but yc have sc t at nought ail my
counsel, and would hone ofxny reprooft.”
—Should it he said so 1
It is indeed hoped not—there isncrtaihly
too much good sense among you,to permit
yourselves, to be cheated, into the support
oi’u measure which is reallv not intended
to operate to your good. You are only
■made the scapc-goatt, to expiate the sin
which way he committed, by the Legisla
ture, in the adoption of a plan at the in-
stigutiott hfSpeculators and land jobbers,
'from which so much evil is apprehended.
iJod knows, 1 would be among the last to
advise, inculcate, or advocate, Ahy thlhg
which would bo injurious to you, nr in any
Wise affect your comfort and well being
—In hurting you, I might injure myself,
and many of my best Fricnds-^-But the
reverse is the fact; I am laboring for your
children nnd my childreti and their chil
dren and our and their country forever—
I am setting Wfhre yriu the things which
are right, and shewing how be it, we may
all be benefited, by the general improve
ment of our common country in the ad-
Tnntageous disposition of the goodly her
itage which we are bound to transmit tm-
impnired to those who are to come after
os; and not to waste it upon them, who
trill laugh at our folly, when thpy are
rioting upon our substance. “But how
few are affected by arguments, nnd how
small a portion of the public will ever hear
them. If it defend upon reason, juid
truth, and religion, merely to decide, [the
Land Lottery plan] would long since
have fallen into disuse; bnt tnen’s passions
and interests are too powerful, for such
restraints, and till there can be enlisted on
the side of” [Internal improvement] it is
feared that all the'efTortsof those.whoare
Working in the goodcntise, will he ineffec
tual—But it is to your interest that I now
nppenl, -and shall endeavor to shew ft, in
aa brief a space ns possible.
“Suppose two hatidnS to be adjacent;
the one intersected with canals, and the
other only accomodated 'with, ordinary
roads; how much more” powerful and
rich, will one be than the other 7
In the One, the lond is distributed gra
tuitously to each citizen, where lot is
worth 1000 dollars, and remains always
of the same value for the want of internal
improvements—In the other, each citizen
buys a lot of land at the same price of
$1000 at A long credit, and pays annual
ly a low iutcrest upon the purchase, which
is expended upon Internal Improvements
itntil the value of his land is increased to
throe times its original vnlue (which is a
moderate calculation) who will then he
richest of the two 7—he who obtained his
land for nothing, or he who had to pay
one thousand dollars for his tractl—The
honest and industrious purchaser is just
worth twice as much as he who received
his gratuitously, and the profits of the
public Works, relieves the one, from tax
ation, aucf educates his children free of ex
ponse; whilst the other lives under taxa
tion, and brings into the world an ighor-
'ant arid perhaps impious race of human
bcirfgs, only fit to be enslaved, ris their fa
thers ha ve been misled by ambitious and
aspiring demagogues, who deceive the
people, grid ruin the country, to luxuriate
Upon their ill gotten pelf.
How many of th6 poof arid industrious
will be benefited and efmehed by the an
nual expenditure 1 of the public means up
on public works, nnd by thri operation
nnd effect t»f those improvements, who
— otherwise if unfortunate in the lottery,
■of incautious in the disposition of their
chances (aUdf there will be very many of
them) might live in miserable poverty and
' Wretchedness, The common laborer will
•have employment—ertizans arid mechan
ics wilt he wanted in abundance—all of
those em ployed will have to be maintained
and supported and paid, whidjj Will fur-
jsish a ready and- home market, for the
productions of industry of arty arid al
most every kind—arid when a criurii is
completed,'bind all alpng the line of it
Will be. increased in value, so that many of
diem who now have tracts of poor land,
, will he made richer, than they can pos
sibly be made by their chance of getting
Iiiud by the Lottery—Iron wilj he brought
to you from Tennessee—and salt will
ci-iso to be inj article of such heavy ex-
geifdi'.p/e, m to c^ftjtil its use to many
places where it is so essentially beneficial
nnd necessary—sugar arid coffee will be
carried to the doors, of the people of the
mountains, and exchanged for their corn
their cattle and tobacco—The land ia tint
interior will become ns valuable ns the
land ori the Senbord, and benefits and ad
vantages will result to the whole commu
nity, which the warmest and most exuber
ant imaginations cannot now predict.
“The New York works had tu encoun
ter prejudices of every description', 'some
entertained Opinions, that the whole
scheme wris romantic in the extreme ; nnd
that it was totally impracticable. A short
period has however dispelled rill such ap
prehensions arid it is hoped that those
works will be the origin to kimilnf exer
tions in Georgia so as to produce like re
sults—Wc only want a Do Witt Clinton
to give the impulse, to contitttterihe action
and insure the advantage.

The editor of one of the Boston papers
informs his readers that the subject of
a canal across Cape Cod seriously oc
cupies public attention. This will shorten
the distance to the Boston harbour one
hundred and fifty miles,
miles distant from the city, which it sup
plied with fruit and vegetables. During
the day the news of the disaster rit Bo-
lida is confirmed by successive reports.—
A caravan, with tents and every Tiling in
the power of the city to furnish, has been
despatched by the government for the re
lief of the sufferers. Several shocks of
earthquake were felt during the day, and
at 25 iniuutes past 9 in the evening, one
very severe.
March 4 The bnrotnotcr Whs found this
ritnrning to have risen three lines during
the lost night, and the shocks of earth
quake have ceased entirely. One of the
irincipal sources of thd prosperity oif Be-
itdn wuS its numerous springs—abundnnee
of wafer circulated freely through all its
streets, arid ‘extensive plantations. R is
now reported that about half an hour be
fore this^tcrriblc catastrophe, all the water
suddenly disnp'carcd.nnu thnt now, thbre
is none to be found within the distance of
half a league. All subsequent reports
ad fo the belief that the first was not 'ex
exaggerated.

P. S.Lremarkcd that during the period
of earthquake above mentioned, the sbri

SOMETHING SQUALLY:
Irt our Journal of yesterday; we an*
nouced the information received, Via Key
West, of the arrival at Havana, of
French frigate and Brig of war, convey-
intfSpaninh troops; and of the movement
which this circumstance was rixnectfed to
create among the British men of war on
the Jairiica station. Thfefe certainly ap
pears to be something not altogether ex
plicable in this co operation of the French
and Spanish authorities ; and curiosity is
awake to find out the ultimate destination
of these troops. The conjecture of
Baltimore cHitor te, that they may be in
tended for hostile operations against Col
ombia or Mexico; nnd.thc’governmeut of
United-States and Great .Britain are
urged to make a formal remonstrance on
the subject. Whatever may he the desti
ination of these troops, we have it on the
same authority ns that which communi
cates tht* fact, that ihe British squadron
in the West Indian sens is in possession
of the fact, and is ori the alert. Should
any movementsrender itpoper for Great
Br itain and the United States tointerfere
these is ou reason no doubt that both vigi
ance and energy will be exercised.

a very violent shock of earthquake wris

noise resembling that made by a number
waggons driven rapidly over paved ways,
The atmosphere was perfectly serene, the
wind strong froth thu interior, the ther
mometer at 58, and thfc barometric falling,
though but slightly affected. The first
shriek endrired about 20 seconds: it was
succeeded by two others, at distances of

The brisk demand experienced in the pftjit
week, has been followed* rip during the
presept at advancing rrites ; ori Wednes
day, however, partly from the anxjety of
holders fo obtain foo rapid an advance,
the mardet paused nlittle, (a circumstance
at all times to bri dreaded at high rates)
and was rrithcr flat on Thursday rm rnirig,
hut revived a little iri the course of thut
day, rind the Week closed with nft improve
ment of Id t: 1, l-2d on American, 1 l-2d
a 2d ori Brazil nnd Egyptian, nnd l-2d
on Enst-lridia descriptions, as likewise
at a general advance in all other quilities,
und with n degree of confidence ori the
part of.lmlder» scarcely to he expected,
when the great arid rapid advance Which
has Occurred is t'ulteri' into consideration ;
the presOrit' stock of nil descriptions is
riot estimated rit more thaff 75,000 to 80,-
000. packages.
Plour of good fresli quality is scarce ;—
'there rire father more inquiries for this ar-
I tide, ris a change iri our corn laws seems
thereabout, we shW .a brig to the south, fleering
about west, to which I immediately made.niiigna
with a piece of sail on the gaft-top sail-yard, .but
iA consequence of Right coming on soon after,nnd
we lying so very low in the water, and the brig
being a considerable distance off, it was impossi
ble for.her see qs. Wo succeeded in saving the
boat and the sc|iinrc sail, by dropping Die former
under the 'lee of the schooner, and hauling the lut-
ler on her bottom ; we laslied ourselves to the
snmi and made a shelter of.the square sail, Du
rin& the night the wind shifted to the northwest
and blew iiesh, wit.i a high *ea, in consequence
we were all washed off the vessel's bottom a num
ber ol times, arid the square suil on top of us v
Which caused u's to reject it t .thus we lay exposed
to the mercy of the wiud and waves, without a
shelter of any description Whatever. The sea
still getting highgr and the gale increasing, 1 was
obliged to send two men in the boat to keep |ier
from bilging, these were John R. Roberts and
John Pickett. On (be morning of the 21st, the
gale increasing with violence, nnd the sea running
still higher, myself and others were Washed from
the wreck, as far as our lashinC would admit, al
most constantly, width cuuseqonr bodies to-be
much bruised, nnd the skin rubbed off our leg4
from one end to the other.
About 4 6’dlockin the afternoon saw a brig
the S. E. deacl.to leeward, so plain thut demons
weteperceivable on her,deck. As Well as we
coiild we shewed two signals, Which were two
pieces of convriss stppped on the two oars* nnd. I
believe flint they saw them, and ub also, hut ow
ing to the tempestuous i;ain squalls, and they bo
ing dead to leeward, it was a matter of imnossi
bility for her to reruler us any assistance. Night
coming oiij we lost sight ofher soon after. Du

several times previous from his fatal destiuntiou,
,but ut last the sea washed him so far front the
‘wreck that it wits impossible for us to reach him
