HAVING read in the tc Augufta Chronicle” of the 17th i'nft. a pub lication over the fignature of cc Tel fair ,** arldrtlTed <c To the Free and Independent Eleffurs of Georgia,’* in which the writer has in an un generous and inftdious manner at tempted to injure che ele&ioa of Dr. Wm. W. B.bb. It may not be improper to examine the mon ftrous charges exhibited againft him •—The firlt remark which fuggefts i'felf on reading this illiberal pro duflion is, the propensity of the writer r to practice him/elf what he 1 condemns in others.—He complains of a paragraph which appeared in a Savannah paper calculated to pro duce a direct oppofidon between Col. Troifp and Doftor Smelt j (his favorate candidate) and yet en deavors to injure Doctor Bibb’s e ledtion by faying u he is lorry to fay ID oil or Bibb fided more than once, •with Mr. Randolph, who by every account , is an avowed enemy to AN.

The writer of this anxiously wifhes.the election of all the old members—-let i( Tclffrlrf however, vvare he treads on fat red ground, predilection in favour of Mr. Ran dolph or not i but admit for a mq ment that he has, and what then, is he to be denounced for it ? It is to, be hoped that political intolerance has not arrived at fuch a height as to profcrlbe any man for treating ano ther with refpetfr. Pray Mr. u Telfair ” where is the man rtfiding out of the ftate who has fo uniformly vindicated the rights and honor of Georgia as Mr. 1 Randolph ? And has not his fpitit- ed and manly oppofition to the Tazoo clams been a great means of their continual defeat ? John Ran dolph is a uni f irm and faithful re publican in principle j his genius is brilliant, his mind is ennobled and exhalted ;he was the intimate friend of Jackfon and of Baldwin, and were they ever proferibed for trea ting him with attention and refpe&J let 11s, citizens, whilft we may dif fer in opinion with Mr. Randolph on feme points preferibe no man for aflbciacing with him. Dr. B:bb is a gentleman of hand fome talents, his politics are une quivocal, he is a real and ardent republican, who has upon all occa sions fup ported the honor, the in tegrity, and the liberties of the coun try. Ler us then manifeft our ap probation of his conduft by giving him 2 general fuppert for a feat in the next Congrefs. A YOUNG WHIG.
