To the Polls ! People of Georgia, to the Polls!
JLct your motto he Troup and tiie Treaty !
'Off MONDAY N EXT, Fellow Citizens, you will
Jwtvo an opportunity of manifesting your patriotism, and your devotion to the best in-
tet wjis of our Ante. We appeal to you solemnly; call to mind the services of
GEORGE M. TROUP, rendered in the Legislature of Georgia and in the Congress
of the.United States, for a term of twelve years. By his animating and patriotic ex
ertions, he contributed tnucli to our safety, and oUr national honor. As your Chief
Magistrate, he has discharged his duty with ability and firmness. . He has contended
.and still is maufully contending For our best and dearest rights. To ecapttulute the
'Jute transactions which have convulsed our State would he idle. They must be fresh,
in your recollectious. Remember, Fellow Citizens, the services of TROUP, and be
Xiot Ungratefbl. Can you be ignorant, that to a few designing men, professing to be
patriots, friends of Georgia and good order, but in reality being Nothing blit, Selfish
And ambitious politicians, that all our troubles, factions, mid distractions are to be At
tributed? TUrn youfeyes back to General Clark’s march through life, audyou will
find oils continued Scene of dissipation, intrigue, violence, rfnd persecution. By mrin-
igemeiit he once obtained.the Executive chair of this Stale* and by management, he
.hopes again to obtain it. His administration was wretched, time serving, and corrupt;
you know this to be true; let principle then, and a regard for the tranquility ,nnd best
-interests of the Sstate, induce you id send him into obscurity. In General Clark’s
course yoU h%ve Witnessed ' o public virtues. SELF, and persecution to his oppo-
-jnepfs, are hisonly objects—>it depends ift a great measure, upon you, Fellow Citizens,
-to “put an end to this man’s pretensions—and to say that principle, integrity and
■tranquility, shall triumph over vice, fnctio oud intrigue. ,.
Support then, Fello-v Citizens, warmly support Governor
TROUP, whose services have been as conspicuous, as his career has been wise nni
-honorable. If you rise “in the fullness of your strength,’’ victory must crown your
4kbo»* . . ut ....... ......
People of Chatham County ! Remember, there are two Can
didates for the Senate, up for yoUr support. One of them, is the advocate of Troup,
the Trenty and State, Rights—the other a supporter of Clark, Crowell '& Co.
{Do you ask us, FeiioW Citizens, who this individual is? We answer, Doctor Mu
sses Slieftall. WiUyoa, for rite.sake of gratifying this mau’s ambition, send him to
inisrepresent your view*, feeling*and Wishes t, Will you vote for a man who is the
bitter etemy of Troup, and the apologist of Gnines? Fellow Citizens Weigh well
these considerations before yiiu act—otherwise you may hp sorry for it. Should
-you vote for the man whom you know to be the advocate of Gen. Clark! you will do
your country, the State and yourselves an injury. 'Consult your own interest, con
sult your own honor, your own dignity—rally.round the'foils and give the above
ticket “a loog pull, n strong puli, and a pull altogether.’,’

TROUP AND TIIE TREATY!
As the election of Governor approaches, the hostile press groans under the burthen
of feverish essays, and delusive calculations which are said to be “unquestionable!” A
, little time, and these last tfirdeS of ah expiring party will have subsided and the high
and lofty Republicanism of Georgia, preserving the ascendancy which it. bas already
obtained, will have no need again to assume an armour, or descend into the arena. If
information from the u ost intelligent sources is Worthy to be relied upon, the first
Mdhdltyih October will be a proud day for Troup and his friends, and we remind our
^political associates, teven at this distance of lime, that the event, whenever it is con-
clusiv ly announced, should be celebrated as a bright era in the annals of our coun
try. Georgia has been Cruelly taunted nnd grossly insulted;—liertcry fiftrtie has been
made a byeword by lier enemies; the frown of the General Government is darkening
upon her and she is threatened “with the ban of the empire;”—her old Yazoo tor
mentor* rise up and urge onward the gathering storm for her destruction—the bad
Faith of the U. States towards her is called ji/sf ice, and their contempt, moderation,—
an Indian Agent holds the rod over her hend—officers and clerks at the General Gov
ernment are permitted to reproach and to abOsC her public functionaries; and her fair
inheritance—her owntand is placed nt the disposal of savages, who Imve riot only mur
dered their leader, but have spilt the blood of her inhabitants and citizens—Georgia
will triumph in the election of Troop, and a becoming joy and gratitude to .Heaven
should be tu'nnifested every where. Let the Bells ring—hon fires blaze, and the deep
Znoulhedcaunoif Speak to the » hole South the victory ftf stern virtue and ofStatc Rights.
The Yazoo speculation is Called proverbially f ‘a stupendous fraud” and it
is certain'that General Chirk' Was one of the grantees, fie has denied that
lie was at Augusta, or that he tamper -d with the Legislatnre-*~be it go—but the land
was obtained by bribery and he was to share iri : the Land. Gov. Troup; wag ever ac
tively opposed to this monstrous iniqitity, merits for it the lasting graiitiide of the Re.
public, and for this reason we prefer him to Gen. Clark.. The General when- in office
never recommended’to the Legislative consideration a Court of Appeals, than which
<10 institution is Wore necessary to the happiilcss nnd prosperity of the People.—Gov.
Troup Imsreciumneneed the establishment of suCh a Court and although we do not
like the model he proposed, he is evidently in favor of th* principle and acted wisely in
placing it before the Representatives'of the people, for this reason we prefer him to
Gen. Clark. The Gen. when in office abused'the Banks and injured thereby the credit
and the commercial interests of the State. Lot his Messages—if they yet survive—be
bunted up aud the merchant will discover such strange notions in relation to Banking
as coaid only have beefi engendered by the profoundest ignorance. Gov. Troup’s opin
ions upon this subject and indeed all other* touched upon by him' in' is Messages are
sensible and judicious, and on- this account We prefer him to Gen. Clark.—Gem Clark
was inactive during the last War, Gov. Froup was assisting and supporting it with true
states-mandike energy and henCe the hatred of him By Hartford Cotiventionists and
those Who looked upon Our victories by land and sea as crying sins^for this cause and
for this hatred we prefer him to Gen. Clark. Because the Gov. is possessed Of a more
cultivated mind We would support him in preference to his rival, .There is reason to
believe from the conduct of Geil; Gaines, Col. Crowell; and Maj. Andrews— from the
public toasts by Gen.'Clark’s friends at the dinners given to Gen. Gnirics, that the Gen.
. is and hoft'bcen Opposed to the Treaty lately made with the Indians—His friends say
that He desires nothing so much as the acquisition for Georgia of the lands now occu
pied by the Indians^ Will they tell us wbnt efforts he has made to support the Trea*
ty, and whether his friend ami active pnrtiznn Col. Crowell supports it? No—if Gov.
Clark could make the Treaty both he and Col. Crowelh would be Willing that justice
should be done to Georgia—but theywoiild rather encourage a cruel injustice .and
break the Treaty than that’6fov. Troup should have the Credit of making it. This
looks like patriotism! or does itresemblo a little arid selfish ambition ? Gov. Troup has
labored hard to get our lands—-lias encountered ih pursuit of this object' obloquy and
reproach—for this reason we will nofidesert him but Continue to support'*TrOiip and
the Treaty! \Yc object also to the extra'Vrigrthce of Gen. Clark—his~coritingent ex
pellees fbr four years amounted to 8126,658 93 3-4!! nnd the items iri the account nre
statesman. Gov,
us remember that
Gen. C/w/j-r-Since tve first become ac
quainted with this man’s pretensions to
office ye have uniformly heard that a
groat part of them was funded on the ser
vices his father is said to lmvo rendered to
this state. This bus hceiY sounded in our
cars froni s6 ninny quartet*, nnd for so
long a time that it Im* become an old
story.. Not a fourth of July hus pitsScd
by without toasts iri abundance about his
beitig the son of a whig, urid all that sort
of thing.—Gov. TroUp, on srtch occasions,
has always been brought in for <i due share
of vituperation. He Inis been depressed
just a* milch os his opponent has bean el-
evnted. He has been called the sort of a
tory. It has been asserted that his father
fought against this country during the re
volutionary War—that he himself was
born in a foreign larid—sometimes they
have it iu England, sometimes in Florida-
It was but the other day that a man from
Hall county Was in town, and wanted to
see the Governor, that he might bo satisfi
ed whether lie wfts a Spaniard or not—
All these things, as regards Gov. Troup,
rest merely oil the assertions of his ad
versaries. Proof has bceft repeatedly dc-
demanded, and they have not produced it.
On t!ie other haud,respectable gentleman,
personally cogisant of the facts, havo stated
that he was born in Georgia, was educat
ed in Savniirnh and at Princeton; studied
law with Mr. Nool in Suvaminti, and re
presented Chatham county in tlio legisla
ture immediately after he was eligible ton
sent. Yet with certain people all those
facts thus authenticated, have pnssod for
nothing. They still adhere to the old tale,
that Troup is the son of a tory, dec.
<$*c* • • '
Now with.us it is a mutter of precious
little importance wliut tiie ancestors of
Gov./Troifip and Gen. Clark were. We
hold in no estimation at all, that merit
which some men seem disposed to dqrivc
from their fathers. The doctrine of an
cestral merit imputed to posterity $ ill not
suit these times or this country. -. It may
do very well for" tjio..tho putrid political
systems which blacken the'surfaco of Eu
rope But in u republic like ours it is a
rank heresy. So deeply routed is this
conviction in us that .whenever *wo hear a
mail, bo cist ofthe public servictiil of!. is an
costrirs, nnd thereupon found a claim of
morit to himself, we sot It down as a Cei’-
tain fact that lie is not only u'ttefly desti
tute of every thing like personal merit, but
thethcishUout heart, an arrant aristocrat.
In om* estimate of things,everv man’s char
acter , his claims on the public confidence,
bis pretensirins to pluces of honor or profit;
—in a word, every thing of this sort must'
liave for its foundation bis owf! good con
duct And we ore perfectly content that
tho rule should work both ways:—for we
contend that neither the fellies, the vice's,
nor the criinfi* However flagrant, of the
ancestor should bo imputed to his descend
ants’, provided they have merit of their
'Entertaining these views, we have wit
nessed with much regret the disposition
prevailing mnong Gen. Clark’s friends to
brand Gov. TrOnp with infamy, because
they believe, or pretend they helieve that
his father was a tory. Even w-ere the
fact As they assert it to he, wo should re
gret to witness such a disposition prevail
ing among men professing to be republic
ah's. But indignation is excited when we
know that this imputation ah the char
acter of Gov. Troup’s father is unjust. And
a still stronger fueling is awakened when,
knowing this imputation to be unjust, we
learn that Gen. Clark is assailable on a
point equully delicate, wereit deemed just
ifiable;
The following documents are now pub
lished not for purpose of injuring the feel
ings of any one, or affecting the Jioliticnl
prospects of Gen. Clark.' The remarks
we have made preclude tho possibility of
of our entertaiuing any such intention.
They are published simply to show to
those who assail Gov .Troup on his father’s
account; How very easily their mouths
might bestopt—not, only sltopt, but scaled
up forever, did we cltbose fo resort to such
means to do it.—Milledgeville. Journal

Sir : I bad the pleasure id, receive yritir
communication of the 28th ultimo this
day, arid it is with real regret I inform you
that the information therein contained is
in a great part too true. Sometime in
May,! learnt that settlements were making
on the South'. West side of Oconee; the
supposition then was that the adventurers
were part of those who fiaff embarked, in
the French interest and that iri a short
time they would of therriselves disperes
hilt finding' that not to be the case, and
fearing lest, they might contempnlrite a
serious settlement, on the 20th of May
ordered General Irwin to direct the set
tlers immediately to remove! Soon after
I Wrts’ informed that , {he\ removal had
takeri place. On the 14th Juiy, I received
a IctlCr froiri Lieut. Col. Gaither, stating
that Elijah Clarft, late a Major General
in the Militia of this State with a party of
men 1 had encamped on the South West
side ofthe Oconee, Opposite Forf Fidius
On-the 24th‘ Ccn. Irwin serit two officers
to Clark with orders for him to move off
immediately, which he positively refused,
and ori the 28th 1 issued my proclamation
forbidding stiish unlawful"proceedings. I

dated Louisville January 12/A, 1796,
“ TluJ revolt of some of his Catholic
Majesty’s subjects ia East Florida and
the restless disposition of the lute Major
General Cfark, with some of our citizens
caused the Captain General of Cuba to
send Llent Col: Kindelan to know of me
if the State of Georgia was at war with the
CrotVn of Spain—The Colonel wns further
instructed, if fie did not receive that satis

I known’ to the President of the United
extent of, Troup’s popularity, and the
chances of his re-election!! ! Ho wish to
what obstacles exist to incorporating the
Creeks with the tit liens of Georgia !!!!
Cun anyone misthko the meaning of such
enquiries? Will the people of Georgia
now doubt about the designs ofthe North
ern people ? The mystery is unfolded.
Wo now see wliut Crowell, Andrews, und
Gaines have been laboring for. Gnines
letter to tho Governor of Alubmn too is
explained. The trenty is to be broken-—
the land is to be given brick to the Indians
—they riro to be settled oi< it permanently
—and they nre io be made citizens of
Georgia 111 All this is to be done if Adams
and jus poopie succeed in defeating the
re-election of Troup. Will the people
hesitate about ho\V they should net, with
tlicso things before tlietri? Wliett they
go to tile polls, let them rotnembef who
has labored {light and driy to procure this
land for them and who has countenanced
& called on Crowd,Gaines and Andrews
When they have boon iii town and they
cannot hesitate one moment iii deciding
for whom they should Vote—-Let it riot be
said that il ls' rill un electioneering story.
It is no such thing. We have seen a let
ter from Mr. Evcritt containing inijuirics
precisely the srtmr. with those stated in the
letter below. There is ri > laistuke in this
matter. Sucli letters have neon written,

To the Editors of the Georgia Journal.
Madison, Sept, lltli, 1825.
Gentlemen—During the present week
we have received nt this place information
direct und veritable, from t he Western,
Northern, Flint und Octmilgee Circuits
arid l cannot forego the pleasure ofcon-
grnuilntiug you on success of tlio republic
an cause in these vurious sections of tiie
slate.
And no where will the triumph be minre
complete than iu Morgan. Shortly after
the adjournment of the Extra Session of
the Legislature so clamororts were the
friends of Crowell and adversaries of the
Treaty, that opinion seemed momentari
ly suspended. But the mist ha's vanished
and the people of this country are them
selves agnm—Indeed Troup’s majority
will be little less than Crawford’s was la t
year,four hundred votes. The watch-word
here as every Where, is Troup and the
Treaty. ,
Gen. Chirk’s .advocates were taken by
siipprize by liis late summerset. A zeal
ous and intelligent friend of his in a neigh
boring county, denounces it as an elec
tioneering trick, mid tho (Post insincere
act of the Gctfear’s life. If was surely un
kind not to have prepared tlio minds of his
trusty servant* fur his movement, by previ
ous notice.
The Adams leaders in the North, I
discover are burnishing their weapons
for a deadly onset against the treaty rieXt
winter. They arc hanging with’ breath
less suspense on the result of the upproch-
iirg election. The learned and insidious
Mr. Everitt too impatient to nwnittlie ar
rival ofthe first Mouduy in October, Ini-

Troup's popularity in Georgia and tin
chances of his rc-cleetion, and “ what in

and entitling them to all the privileges of

who bas recently from the North inform#
me that there is but one opiaon from New
York to Augusta ami that is the salva
tion or nynideuce of the Treaty, depends

that quarter is the highest praise. The
want of popularity with such men is the
