that man, we conscientiously belies eis Martin
\an Buren. If ho will not, what have we to'
expect from his three opponents who are openly
hostile to those views and principles !
It is a subject to be sincerely deplored that
mon who agrees so well, and are so firmly uni
ted as the union party, should difl’ei in one soli
tary instance ; for with the exception of the
Presidential election we are marching band in
hand, and shoulder to shoulder in the good old
cause ; and we sincerely hope, that upon this.
question we may vet see eye to eve, and act with
that unanimity and conceit to which we are in
debted for our success.
Again, we would point our friends to the ’
course of the nullitiers in all their elections. ■
They* do not vote for union men, nor is there an ‘
instance within our knowledge of their assisting'
a union man to beat a nullilier, and yet, they
verv modestly* call upon the union men to aid
them in beating union men. Will our friends
assist them to do so ? It cannot be.
Look nt their course towards General Gias- ,
cock. For month-, they have been extoling his |
talents ami patriotism —toasting him at public ,
dinners, and recommending him as worthy the ,
highest confidence. But mark I A few weeks .
before the election, they come out full driven- i
gainst him, and call upon every man of their
party to vote against him.
Will union men act with such a party under :
any circumstances I Will they separate them- .
selves from their old and well tried friends— 1
will they be instrumental in assisting the nulliti- '
ers tobreak down and destroy tho union party I
We cannot believe it, and when the day of elec- i
tion comes, we confidently predict, that the ;
nullitiers will find themselves greatly disappoin- i
ted in their anticipations so fondly cherished, of ■
dividing and distracting tho Union party.

It is amusing to see the long list of objections, !
of ancient date, now trumped up against Mr.
Van Buren, by the very men who were shouting
and huzzaing for him a few years ago ; nor is it
less ludicrous to witness their outcry against the
Baltimore Convention, when every body knows,
how active they were in getting up the for
mer convention at that place, and how warm
ly they advocated the nomination of this same
Mr. Van Buren for the Vice Presidency.
The long, and black-lettered list which they 1
exhibit against him, all, or nearly all bear date,
prior to his nomination at Baltimore, and if true,
were known at least to the delegates who rep
resented the State of Georgia in that conven
tion.
He is now charged with supporting the Mis
souri restriction—with supporting Rufus King
fur Senator in Congress—with being a tariff
man—-with voting for the Cumberland Road
Bill—with supporting De \Vi,t Clinton, against
Mr. Madison for the Presidency, &c. &c. &c.
&c.
When did these things happen ? Why, if ev
er, it was long before tho Baltimore Convention
which nominated him for the Vice Presidency,
and if they arc good and valid causes against
Ids elevation now, they were equally so then ;
and those who supported him then, and op
pose him now, with all these alleged sins upon
his head, acted the part of faithless and corrupt
agents then, or they are manifestly playing the
hypocrite now.
Tell us ye men, who supported and voted for
Mr. Van Buren’s nomination, then, why ye did
it 1 and tell us why it was, that you concealed
from the people all those enormities with which
he is now clrarged.

PixuEßTow.v, August 19, 183 G.
His Excellency Goo. Schley. ‘
Sir:—On Wednesday evening last, a camp
of Indi ms was discovered by Messrs. P. R. Ol
iver and John Guy, back of Guy’s plantation,
and near the river, six miles below this place.
News of the same was immediately communica
■ ted to the citizens of the neighborhood, and we
succeeded in collecting a company of thirty
eight men by 10 o’clock, the next morning.—
We proceeded to the Indian camp in two de
tachments, each of us assuming the command ot
a detachment. Our party were so disposed, as
lo surround the camp, after affecting which, we
discovered tii.it it was broken up, and the Indi
ans dispersed in the direction for Florida. The
trails were very dim, and artfully scattered for
the purpose of deceiving their pursuers, but hav
ing some experienced trailers with us, we suc
ceeded in Hailing them, and after a ride of
twelve miles through the pine woods and ponds,
came up with them in Irwin County, in an open
piny woods country; as soon as we came in sight,
our men were ordered to charge, which they did
promptly and gallantly, raising, at the same time,
the war-whoop. The Indians, who were drawn
up in a line, were so frightened, that they broke
and run, not taking time and deliberation to
bring their rifles to a level to bear upon us;
they discharged their pieces at us, when we were
in about two hundred yards of them, and before
they had time to reload, they were overhauled
by our charge and soon despatched. After the
battle, which lasted about twenty minutes, we
.went over the ground and found eleven men,
and we regret to say, seven women, dead on the
/ield. The women so resembled the men in
their dress, that wo could not discriminate be
tween them in the engagement. We took three
women and two children prisoners; two of the
.women are badly wounded. Tin: result of this
engagement is, eighteen killed and five prison
ers, comprising the whole parly ot' the Indians,
without any loss of killed or wounded on our
part. The Indians were on foot, and had little
or nothing with them except their guns and mu-
of war, \Ve have tho prisoners with us,
and are at a loss to know what to do with them.
We wish your Excellency would inform ub
what disposition to make of them.
Respectfully, your
Obedient Servants,

We have converg'd with Mr. Spencer Riley,
who is now in our town, lie states that he hail
;in encounter nidi the leader of the Indians dining
the battle, and killed and scalped him with his ow n
hands. The scalp we have seen, lie had shot
him with ;>u< k shot in the back; the Indian in the

Editor’s correspondence. ?
Sin.—l h ive read your remarks in the Stand
ard. upon the subject of the Surplus Revenue, and |
agree entirely with your views. 1 believe, as the I
money was taken from the people, it should be i
placed where they can use it upon easy terms, and 1
1 can see no mode of enabling them to do so, but j
through the Central Bank.
1 live in a strong section of the State, and can
assure you, that the people are almost unanimous
on the subject, but 1 think the rate of interest
should be reduced to five percent, because the mo
ney belongs to the people, and should be used in
such manner and upon such terms as they think
proper.
I hope you will continue to give your views to
the people and to support their interest in this mat
ter. and you w ill receive a hearty response from
thousands and tens of thousands of your fellow
citizens.
With great respect your friend.
Such we believe will be the prevailing sentiment
■ of the people, and our exertions shall not be wanting

To the People of Georgia :
To men of any party who are honest, 1 pro
pose to address a lew remarks, ol importance
Ito all. With most of those who will read these
■ remarks, perhaps I dilier very widely in my po-
I litical antipathies and partialities, but let that
i be no reason why you shall not give heed to my
' opinions, so far as they may appear to you to
! be supported by reason and common sense.
; You have all seen enough of the changes of
i party, to know, that because you act with a man
■ to-day, there is no certainty that you will act
' with him to-morrow. Perhaps, even now,some
! of you may feel that the ligaments of party affec-
I tion do not bind you quite as strong to-day, as !
they did yesterday ; and that in less than a ■
i month, all the ties which have bound you to I
! some with whom you have acted for years, will
be severed forever. Nevermind it—if you are
acting upon principle, let them go—you will be
safe. New parties are about to spring up—
may have already sprung up—corruption is rife
in the land, and the people are to be made its
victims.
The Central Bank, tbe only Bank, that 1
know any tiling of in the world, which is not foun
i ded on principles of aristocracy, is to be dost-j
1 roved ; tiie crusade against it has commenced ; ;
' the wealth and the aristocracy of the country ar- I
rayed against it; and unless the yeomanry of the I
I country rush to the rescue, it will be made a J
I sacrifice. Just see I there’s the Federal Union |
. opposed to it—there’s the Augusta Constitu
’ tionalist—the Macon Messenger—the Sentinel!
of Augusta--the Whig of Athens. People of;
I Georgia, do you not see something ominous in 1
1 all this ?
All the Rail Road, and Rail Road Bank iuflu
i ence arrayed against the Central Bank ofGeor
! gia 1! ! Some of these presses have found out
j suddenly, that there is in the Central Bank,
I something very dangerous to the liberties of the
people. Is it not strange that this institution,
j which is obliged to dispense its favors equally,
j if the people choose to apply for them, should
Ib; dangerous to their liberties. Is it not strange
i that this institution, which cannot sue a man as
| long as he will pay up every six months, one
i tenth of the debt he may owe it, should be dan-
■ gerous to the liberties of the people I
People of Georgia, that is not the reason
| why the clamor is raised against the Bank. It is
j because it is not sufficiently dangerous to the
j liberties of the people. It is because the law
i requires that tiie money should be equally divi
j ded amongst the people, and because the direc
i tors have complied with the requisitions of the
i law. It is because, that the magnates of the
i land cannot get all the funds of the State to
themselves—because they cannot lay hold of it,
appropriate it to themselves, and vest it in
I projects, which will enslave you. It is expec
ted that a large amount of money will shortly
come into the Treasury of Georgia, and it is
with a view of lingering that all this clamor
is raised against the Central Bank—ls they can
only prejudice you against the Central Bank,
I they iiope they may succeed in borrowing the
I million of dollars, that is coming from the
; United States, for a number of years, at two or
three per cent, instead of its being divided out
among you in small sums, such as your necessi
ties may require, and such as may save from the
constable the bed on which your children sleep.
Mr. Gieue pretends to be afraid that before
long tbe Central Bank will “contend' with the
people for the power.” Why does not Mr.
Gieue fear the same thing from the Rail Roads,
and Rail Road Banks that were chartered at the
last session of the legislature, with millions of
capital ? Their object and their interest are
to acquire power 1 Are they not already “con
tending with the people for the power.” Are
not more than half the Editors of the State al
ready in their power, either from fear or cor
ruption I Are their papers not already con
stantly teeming with productions in favour of
: Rail Roads? Do they ever publish any thing
I against them ? Sometime ago, Mr. Gieue was,
j at his own request, furnished with some num
bers in opposition to Rail Roads for the purpose
jof publishing them, which he said h.*, had been
' requested to do, but when he saw them, hecon-
I eluded I suppose, that it would not do to give
i them publication, or perhaps he may have re
; ceivcd orders upon tho subject, which he was
■bound to obey.
Has it never entered into the heads of these
tnen who arc so careful of the liberties of the
people, that these Rail Road companies with
! their large Banks may “contend with the people
1 lor the power ? ” and that they may prove
, dangerous to the liberties of the people. Arc
' they not already l > contending with the people
I for the power ?” Are they not taking posscs
; sion of the lands of the people without their con
j sent ! People of Warren county ! of every
other comity where a Rail Road is run resist the
I encroachments of these monsters, whenever you
i do not choose io give up your laud—the cousti
jution ptescrilx x the mode in which the titles
io land arc to be tried, and the Inferior court
has no right to decide it. If their agents come
I upon your lands by force, put them off by force;
j you will see by reference to the penal code of
I 1833, that you have the right to do it—see Acts
of 183.5, p. 182, under the hetel of Foicibl<? en-
try and Detainer. You will then find that you
may keep possession of your land by force, and
it they bring a greater force than your’s, you
can put them off by legal process.
Ilss it never seemed possible to these sapient
and patriotic Editois, who see in the Central
Bankso much cause of alarm for the safety of the
liberties of the people, that these Rail Road I
Banks might possibly exercise a dangerous influ
ence in elections.
Suppose we taken view of the comparative
power of these institutions to operate injurious
ly to the rights and liberties of the. people—We
will coniine ourselves for the present, to their I
power in elections.
Suppose the Rail Road interest of the conn- I
try desirous to have members in the Legislature I
to suit their own views—to accomplish some I
object for the advancement of their interest. I
Rail Roadsare now being laid out through near- |
ly half the counties in the State. In each of:
the counties they will, in the first place make I
it a business, because it will be their interest, to i
have stockholders, who will, of course, be the
wealthiest and most influential men of the conn- I
try. In the next place they will inevery coun
ty have agents, store-keepers, ware-housemen
toll gatherers, &c. ail of whom will Im entitled
to vote and dependent upon these stockholders
for their support. Would it not be likely that
under such circumstances they would be able j
to succeed in electing to the legislature such men :
as they should desire to have elected !
But this is not all, they ate incorporated with
large banking privileges—they can lend to any
man as much money as they please, and can
collect it when they please: not so with the
Central Bank—it can lend no man more than
twenty-five hundred dollars, and once it has
loaned it to him, the bank can compel him to
pay only one fifth of it annually—so that he has
five years to pay 'he debt, in consequence of
which the Central Bank very rarely has the i
power to press a man for debt.
But suppose the Rail Road Banks had the (
million of dollars already in the Central Bank, j
and the million that it is expected she will re- i
ceive from the General Government, thev
would then have the whole monied capitol of;
the State in their hands, they would use it only I
for their own benefit, and when they loaned to I
a mau, it would be only to ensnare him in their !
toils, that they might control him as they pleas- '
ed.
People of Georgia, hold on to the Central I
Bank, so long as that institution exists, and is I
managed as it has been, it will supply you with 1
a little money to answer your purposes when :
you get into a tight place, and will give vou
time to work for the money to pay it back again. ,
It is true it will not supply the speculator witii j
his thousands, to grind you to dust, but it will;
supply the industrious poor man, who has been '
unfortunate, with enough to rescue his property
from the gripingsofa hungry creditor.

Mr. Editor :
1 dislike to obtrude myself on the public in a '
news paper publication, but imdercxistiiigcircum- I
stances, 1 feel myself fully excusable in doing so. j
I have witnessed with reluctance, my name con- ;
nected with several publications in the Miner’s j
Recorder, under the editorial head of that paper,
abusing Col. William N. Bishop; and the peculiar ;
manner that my name is made to appear in con
nection, and as my silence would give as it were, ;
my assent to said pieces, induces me now to ap- (
pear before the public. When the first one ap- .
peared, I believed it to fie the result of personal
ambition, as I knew the Editor and Bishop were l
unfriendly, and supposed that it would be no fur- I
ther pursued ; but after that article had been ex
plained in Bishop's reply, w hich appeared in your
paper, 1 acknowledge my surprise, on perusing in ;
itis paper of July 23d, another long article consist- !
[ iiig of personal abuse, and repetition of tw ice and I
thrice refuted calumnies, it is true, Bishop and ’
I myself have not had any friendly intercourse for a ;
j space of time, as stated by him,hut I have careful- ;
ly examined his piece in explanation of Gath- ;
right’s first publication, and as far as it comes I
j under my knowledge, I willingly indorse for its
; correctness, and consider it a candid relation of .
; facts as they existed. lam sorry to feel compel
led to speak thus plainly, as I, in doing so, may
bring down the ambition of this Editor on me, am!
may expose myself to his spleen through the col
umns of the Spy in the li'esl; but a strict sense of
justice to my own feelings, as well as the character
of another, compels me to make this statement.—
The Editor must have been hard run, when he
attacked the political honesty of Bishop, as none
of his worst enemies have, ever before, attempted
that. As to his charge against him about the Jury
case, 1 am astonished I for I, myself, 1 believe, in
the presence of tins Editor, informed several gen
tlemen, in the midst of the hardest feelings betw ceil
myself and Bishop, that to my ow n knowledge, lie
was not to blame in that matter; and further, this
matter has been strictly scrutinized in the columns
of the news papers, and in the court house, mid
Bishop has been fully sustained. As to the Mur
ray County Resolutions, that matter lias under
went judicial investigation, and the persons held
blameless; and as to the third charge, 1 have noth
ing to say, only, 1 regret truly to see personal am
bition so entirely destroy that dignity, so essential
to the conducting of a public journal; ami as to
the 4th—the John Howard Payne case, 1 refer
him to the certificates of Wm. Y. Hansell, W. Un
derwood, Charles 11. iNelson, and much other co
roborating testimony, shewing the unwarrantable
i conduct oi this man Payne, and his intermedling
I disposition, which he will find in Maj. B. F. Cur
: ry’s defence to the charges preferred against him
. by !i. I . White, in the Senate, which, f think, j
5 leaves Mr. White in rather an awkward situation, !
I and ought to convince the Editor, of the hnpro- '
priety of preferring charges against individuals for
; the purpose of gratifying persona! ambition and
j private revenge. As I was the sufferer, and was
j pi esent, and was one that adjusted the matter, and
< had a perfect, knowledge of the whole tiansaction,
! and upon hearing the explanation offered by Col.
■ Bishop, I was fully and entirely satisfied .with him,
. and I cannot see why the Editor of a public jour-
I nal, could not feel himself satisfied, without those
uncalled for, scurrilous publications.
In conclusion I will inform Mr. Gathright, that
I think him rather unfortunate, in his notice of tbe
result of the Militia elections in this county, for
Col. Bishop was absent at that time; and knew
nothing of any such election. I was present and
participated in the election, and confess 1 was de
feated in my choice. The person elected, was an
avowed White man, ami the other, Van Buren;
and I do think, lor a person who claims himself to
he the conductor of an oigan of a party, to exult
in the defeat of that party, or any of its members,
ridiculous, jdo not consider the result of that e
lection a fair test, iff the strength of the parties in
this county for various reasons ; but, if 1 am mis
taken, I shall he proud to know, that I am in the
minority, acting with t on Turin Union men, in
preference to being in the majority, acting with
White whigs ami Nullifiers.

collection bill. The most objectionable fea
tures of the proclamation have been removed
by authorized explanations, and the bill was
even less objectionable than Mr. Jefferson’s
celebrated Force Bill, which was sustained by
the republicans of the South, as well as the
North. What are the favorite measures of the
federal party ? A national bank, a high tariff
and a national system of internal improvement.
All these are opposed by the existing adminis-
I (ration. And yet, judge Longstreet says we
arc ruled by “federalism ol the rankest kind.”'
j “We need not therefore,” continues the judge, i
I “be over squeamish about the politics of our
; next Chief Magistrate.” Judge Longstreet 1
I may persuade many of his associates to think
j so. Indeed, 1 have no doubt many of them are '
I prepared to support Harrison, Webster, or,
| “the most uncompromising federalist in the
! Union,” in preference to Mr. \an Buren. But
be itjknowii, that many of them are not pre
pared to do so ; and it may be presumed some \
of them will abandon the men who are. The
! Union party will not be persuaded, that “the
I politics of our next Chief Magistrate” are, under
I existing circumstances, a matter of minor im
portance. Others, if they will, may believe it; i
but the Union party know belter.
“We believe,” says Judge Longstreet, “that I
we should submit to any thing rather than cau- j
cus nomination.” Is this the man who so zeal
ously sustains a caucus candidate, judge White,
for the presidency ? Is thistle man who af
j sects such veneration for Jellerson, Madison and
; .Monroe, all of them caucus candidates.
But judge Longstreet considers Mr. Van Bu
‘ ten as “the nominee of tiie president.’ And
I are Union mep to abandon a man in whom they
I have confidence, because the president prefers
I him ? Certainly not. Mr. Van Buren is the
I repreresentativc of their opinions, and they
' will sustain him.
i “Deliver the country,” says judge Long
i street “from Van Buren tactics, an J then to
j other matters afterwards.” This is the svren
! song that is to lure the Union party to its des
; (ruction. Judge Longstreet well knows that if
|he can get them to go with him in this matter,
j he can get them to go with him in oilier matters.
, They' may, ii they will, attend the call of an open
’ adversary ; t hey may, if they v. ill, respect the
i advice of a man who has expressly said of that
| portion oftbe Union, party who supports Mr.
Van Buren, that “he most cordially wishes its
I ruin;” that “he believes it is toiling to ruin the
, country” &c. But they shall first hear the war

THE ELECTION.
The contest is over, and the result for Go
; vernor, is in ail probability, in favor of the
I coalition candidate. For although the re
i urn are not complete there are enough to sat
isfy us that Gen. Dudley must succeed.—
The election of Governor has not been as
warmly contested as might have been expec
ted as votes polled show that many' counties ]
have not given their full vote. Whilst the I
opposition counties have mostly voted to
the utmost of their strength, those friendly ;
to the administration have but in very' few
instances voted to their full extent. To I
whatever cause this may be ascribed wheth
er to personal objections to our candidates ;
arising from past or present causes; yet j
such is certainly the fact tho’ much to be ;
regretted, it plainly shows that this election
is no curtain test of the strength of the two
political parties. W hilst the east has acted
with a manly and liberal spirit in sustaining
Gov. Spaiglit although they so generelly
differed from him in regard to the impor
tant question of a Convention, the West
seems illy to have rapaid him for having gone
with her in favor of so favorite a measure.
In this as in other matters great injustice
lias been done him arising from prejudices
not well founded, but nevertheless, not to be
surmounted.
The election for members of the Legis
! lature lias been much more animated, and
! though the exertions on the part ol the op
position as will always be tiie case, have
I been more stretieous, than oa that of the
friends of tbe administration, the result has
not been so favorable to him as in the election
lof Governor. Here again the friends of
Mr. Van Buren had difficulties to contend
with of the most serious character. At the
usual time of coming out as candidates
great excitement existed upon the subject
of slavery, ami much prejudice prevailed
against M. V. Buren in regard to this matter.
Gentlemen who were friendly to him could
not be induced to enter a canvass, in which
they foresaw that every species of art and
deception were to be resorted to on the part 5
of the opposition which would require sac
rifices on their part, which few were willing
to make. Hence it uas that in every conn- i
ty the most active and popular men of the
opposition came forward on the While .tick
et ami spared neither money time nor means;
whilst it was often difficult even to .fill the
ticket on the Van Buren side-—The result
therefore under these circumstances, is much
mote favorable than might have been rea
sonably expected. I (’the Van Buren party
have not a majority, our opponents certain
ly have nothing to boast 01. If we have
lost the victory we can say, with truth that
our honor ami principles have been pre
served ; which we fear, is more than can
Ibe said in behalf of the coalition. So far
then from desponding of the election of Mr.
V an Buren in this State we feel every con
fidence in success, and say to his supporters
as their cause is identified with the best in
terests of the country.. “ never give up the
ship!”

PROSPECTUS.
z\t the late meeting of the Alumni of Frank
lin College, it was unanimously resolved to be
expedient to make arrangements to issue a Month
ly Literary Magazine, to be called
T3IF ATHENIAN.
FKIIIE UNDERSIGNED were appointed
la by the Society a committee of publication
and joint Editors of the work, until tiro next
meeting of tbe Society. We have no interest
in the work, except that which we take in the
welfare of the country and honor of the State.
We, of the South, have too long depended upon
foreign parts for cur Literature, and neglected
our own talents. We shall be weak so long as
we think we arc weak; and dependant until
we make efforts to be independent, We hope
all the friends of Literature in the State, and
especially the Alumni of Franklin College, will
patronizethcentcrpri.se both by word and deed.
State pride, the love of Literature, our interest
in the cause of general Education, all call upon
us to sustain an enterprise so necessary to our
improvement, and the honor of the Slate.

Till, subscriber here offers to all thcsci
afflicted with sore, weak or inflamed
Eyes, a sovereign remedy in Dr, ADAMS’ E\u
Water. An Eye Water that lias been in usu
for nearly 10 years in this country, and up-,
wards ol 20 years in England, where it w
liist introduced by the celebrated Physician
whose name it bears ; and emtfnating ficin so
high a source, and from one too who had mado
the art and theory of Medicine 1 is stidy for
years, and !>i;< w exactly how every article th:ii
enters into its composition would act, what eG
feet it would produce, and who in a private
practice second io none in England, had used
the article with unexampled success—and while
we arc confident that it sprung i'roni such a
source, need any fear of using it.
VV e till know that the Eyeis an important or
gan, tiftn must not nor ought not to Le trifled
with ; but when an article comes recommended
by higa authority,and by the voice of thousand*
who have felt its powerful efficacy i)i rp>tp|*illg
health and strejigih to the diseased Eye we aio
at once led to believe that it is not one of those
every day preparation with which our papei-A
tire continually filled. It is an article that will
recemmmid itself, and n quires no extraordinary'
exertions or piili's to palm it upon tho public ;
nor do wy wish to palm upon an enlightened
publip thing .that can or will prove detri
mental to them, But we say to onp arid all,
come and try it, and you too will add your tes
timony to those already received in favor of its
virtues. We here annex a few certificates, as
sured that all laboring with sore, weak or in*
flamed eyes, will try the article ajju judge lor
themselves.
YVc leave the article to an impartial public to
rise or fall by its own interests,
Dear Sir—
Having at your request made trial of several
bottles of Dr. Adams’ Eye Water, and as you
wish our opinion of its efficacy, duty rather than
inclination obliges us frankly to acknowledge
its salutary powers in restoring health and
strength to tbe diseased eyes. Yours,
R G Armitage, M. D'
J 5 Vancooms, AL D.
J Qalle, M, D,
We have used Dr. Adams’ Eye Water om>
selves, and have also recommended it to a num
ber of oui* friends and acquaintances, and- all
join in testifying that it w the best article for
sore, weak and inflamed eyes, that they weru
ever acquainted with ; it never having failed tt)
tbe best of our knowledge, hi producing the de
sired effect. Some of qs have ajs.o used it on
oor children, and say tint it can Le used with
safety on tint youngest child, by adding a littlp
water.

A Caution,
TO THE CITIZENS OF HANCOCK,
But more particularly io'thvse living
in the ll)2i/ Dist. G. Al.
’'KjH’T'il EREAS it has been binding on me for
W w three or four years to take up all slaves,
ami tree peisulis of colour who are living in tfio
Dist., or 111 tho village of Sparta contrary to the
law that was passed in Dec. 1832, fur,tuejr regu
lations, and J having been put to much trouide
about them, ami not getting pay for my labor, and
it lining no good, lam done with it. But, be it
known to the citizens of the Ittd district G.
M. that 1 shall take a shorter way to pal a stop to
it. The law is very pointed, that any white per
son offending against the provisions ui this act, be
indicted and prosecuted before the Superior euii.j
for any sucli offence, and on eonvictiun thereof,
shall iurfeit and pay a fine of fifty dollars, and all
cost ofsaid suit, now if the owncis, guaruiaus ajiff
managers of such, will read the law, they will find
they are not ~s friendly to their country as thev
think they are, They were friendly euoiigfi wfiit
me once, to employ an attorney to drive me atld
other constables into our duty, iu biinging their
slaves before the courts for trial ; and fiavo they
ever paid us our costs ! No ! neither de they ever
intern! if they can help it, but I intend to have
mine. HQu they ever paid their attorney that
they employed No ! they thiuk be is rich and
cau do without it, ami Rhodes js poor, and they
can swindle him out of his fees. Now there i>
but little dillereuco between your cases and thine,
mine is ten days imprisonilicut more than
which Ido not intend toliear. lean employ atq
attorney to attend to the business better than ytm
have, where he will get his fees; ami 1 will got
mine that is behind, for 1 intend to have my luil
cost. 1 know who they are that is owing cost,
and they that owe it know as well as 1 A), t.ud’
they would do well to pay it before an execution’
comes titter them for it. 1 also well know \t iio it,
is that give their slaves privilege of boing their
o in time, and 1 havesutiicient proui.aml mean to
try the project next Superior Count;; J, shall take.,
every one iinlisei iiuinalcly, and they must take ii
is well as they can, t expect they will think very
,traugc of tins, that i have qui,t bringing their
slaves to court for trial, and bring tbe owners iii
.tead of the .laves, but 1 can tefi, my reasons for.
that, there is more to be made by tiikfeg the ou li
as, 1 han the slaves, *aud all you Who uro guilty of
.living this privilege, you have giyeu your slaves,
know it; and as Ido nut intend tp be liothercd any'
more, uith then* slaves,! will take the owners
and bring them to court, ami wficu they comb tix
pay titty dollars, line and cost of suit, mi two or,
three slaves, they will learn |o keep them in away
that they ought, (if they are friendly to the govern
ment) without having poor Rlpides drugging them
up to court lor trial ; aqd afjyr trial, iu less than
aie week, they are buying their meats, mid they'
will hay a small bit to-day, and steal twice as much
next day, they will buy ti from a friend
Friday night, uml Saturday night they will stea|
1 pig from another person ; you who arc letting
-laves do that way, may watch them, for 1 intend
to watch you, ' HENRY \V. RHODES.
