I GEORGIA EXPRESS. A I'HENS, “SEPTEMBER rjT~ , JpSeflfrs. M'Donnell cs? Harris, I WHEN a man’s character is alTailed, it becomes him in juitifi cation to himfelf to undeceive the public and place things in their true light. > i A certain cotton monger, a Mr. ffceorge Pafchal of Lexington, has pjublifhed an advertifement in your , piaper of the 27 th lilt, informing the Sublic, that I borrowed his horfe, fiddle and bridle, and promifed to return them ; which on application Hrefufed to do. The gentleman, dertainly is correct in this ftatement, feut like other marauders, has iken care to conceal the motives which in ill gated me to do it. The public will pleafe to know that this gentleman rented a machine conti guous to Lexington and agreed to machine and pack cotton for the _ fifteenth parr. As this was lower than ufual, .1 fent the gentleman a few thousand pounds of ieed cotton, tiicli he promifrd to have ready by a certain day, as 1 informed him I J>ad engaged a waggon to take it to / nguila, and likewife that I had fold it. The gentleman was unufu ji’.lv expeditious for before the jpay had ;arriven that I was to have had it, he came and got bagging, tnaeh’mcd and packed it, hired a •waggon, fent it to Augufta, and ftrange to relate feld it but for whoir. ? not for. me, but himielfi— T he day arrived ti a ! was to make IjppUcarion for the cotton, which I jci’d, and was aflonifhed to find he hed taken the whole inftcad of the fifteenth part. I made repeated ap - plications athis and was confol ped with this fair promi(e ; . that I ffhould have it as loon as he could get it; but hearing the worthy gen tleman laughed at the fmartne.l’s of ■the trick, & frgnified I never would pet a cent from him, and concluded as the people at Milledgevilie had left do civil law open, but negro lav/, 1 would exercife that on Mr. P. ■(thinking him a very fit fubject to {make experiments on) and try to {feeore my fell as well as poffible, {knowing when Whitefolks* law t roke loofe, Mr. P. from the nu merous mortgages and judgment*; * again# him, would be utterly unable * to pay me even if he was willing.—- lUnder thefe confiderations I bor jrowed his horfe with a determina tion to keep him, and tecuremy jfelfj thinking an example of the kind might teach infiduous, infa mous, and insatiable plunderers to meddle with no property but what have a legal right to. As for the gentleman s reeling for me, be cause I bound him to the peace ; if he had had an honed feeling he would not have purloined rr.y cot ton, and might dill have his horfe. Prom his threats and other circum !ftances the gentleman meant to .take my life in the honorable way of {privately way-laying and fhooting rr.e. IThe youth gives a very ludicrous lefeription of his height, weight, kc. he concludes he weighs at pre ent e ; ghty pounds nett, but he cer tainly has not made a mathematical j if he had added the ppprobium and weight, that clan idtdinely making way with other people’s property, (without an in tention ol paying for it) would be, | prefume he’d feel as the Mam itnoth. As for his iownefs in da tore ; I’ll point out a method of snaking him longer, which is by v. drong limb which his multiplied crimes and nefarious intentions de ferve. As for the other parts of his publication I (hall pals over as unworthy of. notice, they having no relevance to r the cran faction, and at once (hewing ijhe depravity of heart and the capacity of the animal. What e'er's obtain'd by roguifh knack, • Or gotten o'er the Devil's back , 2he wife froh', observation - tell ye, Will fur ely fink beneath his belly. Let Pafchal ever’ learn fir cm hence , ‘! ‘To have a little better jenfie , Than to furfiue a plan that's rotten In taking of his neighbor's cotton . 4. . * Let him. await the awful day, When he is call'd bis debts to pay. And then he'llfee If anyfail ‘To lug the rafical intofail. ■ ■ GARLAND T. WATKINS. Lexington, September 15, 1808. Prefident Adams unequivocally approves the Embargo , as a wife, & falutary rheafure, rendered nccefiary by the blockading fydem adopted by the belligerents. He as points edly condemns his federal friends for oppefing it,-and thus weakening our government and encouraging the belligerent powers, in their ag gre (lions on our commerce. In his opinion the embargo is fo far from a tneafure hoftile to commerce, ; that it is calculated, the bed of all pof fible meafures* which could be a dopted, to fecure the permanent ef tablifbmene and prolperity of com merce. Mr. Adams 3nd Mr. Jef fprfon agreed in the great quedions whicn arofe during the revolution. Afterwards they divided on certain leading principles of government, and were rival candidates for the Prcfidency. The recent conduct of Mr. Adams, in giving the weight of his opinion in fupport of a great national meafure, which his rival and fucceftor had recommend ed, and which his own party were making a fubje<st of party oppofi tion, is an evidence of that honedy and fincerity, which all parties have allowed him. How much more ho-, riorable he in this refpeefiy. than many leading federalids, who are as well convinced as he is that the embargo is the bed meafure which could have been adopted, and yet in a crifis of peril and pri vations, unite in a party effort to render it unpopular and inefficaci ous, for the fake of diferediting the adminiftration, under whofe aufpices it was laid.
