We have said, the Clark p irry would be disappointed in all ueir anticipations of golden harvests under the administration of Governor Gilmer; and we said so under a settled conviction that the Troup men who supported bun, would turn their backs upon them, so snort as they had used them fr their own purposes. How stands the case? Mr. Gilmer is elect ed by an immense majority—the Clark papers pulf him to the skief— boast of hm talents, liberality and ail that sort of thing—predict tnat he will divide the patronage of the govern ment with them—extinguish patty ft cling and bring about a political mil leiiniirm. The Legislature meets. Tie Gilmer men are to carry every thing. Make me this, and make ms that, and you shah divide the Suae House olli c*rs. Rut now cornea the sequel Those elections are all over—the Clark men are defeated horse, foot and dragoons—the Executive appoint ments, so far, look rather Troupish, and tue CUrk men are becoming weli satisfied that they have labored hi v kin. Some of the presses which so lately lavished their cm oiuitmrs upon tne Governor, are standing mute, whilst others are preparing for a retrograde movement. The biaiestuun 6c Taiiiot has broke ground, in a spirited ** Ap peal 10 the Clark Party*** in which their lamentations are poured out in no measured strains. i hey say there .ere eight offices of huuor and emolu ment within the gift of the Legisla ture, • you [the Clark parly] urged your just cl uns lor Uui three ui im m —a Secretary of the Semite ana iwo Slate House appointments. The two last, it was understood, you should have received. That no charge of had 1- - till on your purl might be made, you preserved inviolably what you con ccivid to be a s u red and mutual obh gation. '* Now what was this mutual obligation and who were the hign con tracting parlies, we are in some mea sure left to conjecture, although puu iic opinion seems to puint to certain individuals who made themselves, tor a while, conspicuous for the part they acted 111 bringing Mr Gilmer into the field. Rut teat nothing shall remain in douot—that tbe people may know who have been faithless to their en gagements, we trust the Statesman 6c Patriot will lilt the curtain, utid lead then, into open day, that they might be held up u the Sioru and contempt of ail In nest men. it is due to lim Clark Party to expose those who have deceived them, end it is inure espe cialiy due to the friends of Maj. Craw ford, it they are innocent ol the acts ol bad faith alluded lo in tile ** Ap peat to the Claik Patty,” that the guilty sbuuld be mat 110 unjust imputation may rest upon them 1 who, we are v**ry sure, ti ve made no political combinations, or given any ph dges. When Mr Gilmer was induced to take the field, we put our veto upon the proceeding, not because we had no confident* in Mr. Gilmer, but because we had very little in those most active in bringing him out; and we hazzard nothing when we assert that, at this day, the friends of M ij. Crawford have a higher confidence in G ‘vernor Gilmer and his administration, than he himself entertains for most of the Athens Junta, who brought him in competition with Maj Crawford. But what matters it with us—we are mere lookers on in Venice—vve belong to a little minority which has been swept down by the great confede racy , and their quarrels are nothing to us. We must stand or fall upon our own principles, and the integrity with which we support them; and be lieving, as wc and >, that truth is mighty and it will prevail . and iliaf wean based upon a permanent foundation, vvith a charity ihat hopeth all things and believeth all things we 1 .ok for ward to no distant day When the T*Bt sheep of the llous-* of Israel will re turn to the fld. We earnestly desire all who have gone astray will come back to the great political sanctuary where there is room enough and to spare. Before we dismiss the subject, a p -ssiiig remark to that pink of perfec tion the Augusta Chronicle. Have you seen, Mr* Chronicle, the first chapter of lamentations, alias “ An Appeal to the Clark Party,” from the Statesman 6c Patriot ? Have you sren that * Parker has been fooled with Corn Cakes,’*eh! DmJ you know that yur folks had bargained for three offices, paid down the considv ration in advance, and when the quid pro quo was called for, the other party was out ot funds ? Did yon know that no Gilmer man, who is a Clark man, has received any appointment during this session of the legislature ? From our Correspondent. “Millkdgkville. Dee. 4. 1129. The Bill authorising a survey of the Territory obtained by treaty from th * Creeks and ■ 1 timed by the CJhero keee, being the special order for tliis day, the House of fl* prosentat!vt*s went into committo of the whole, Mr. Rea in the chair. Mr. Dougherty, of Clark, moved a substitute fi r the Bill m the shap'* *f Report, concluding with the following resolution—- Resolved, 1 ha* Georgia p >ssessing a high rcefpe* t fi.r the Chief Magis trate of tic Union, and actuated by a desire to comply with his wishes on this occasion, will, for the present, forbear to cause to be surveyed, and possession taken, of that portion, of Territory red- and to the U. Stat-s for the use of Georgia, by the Creeks aud now claimed by the Cherokees— R.*- serving to herself the right of taking possession hereafter when her inter est require it. Mr. Haynes, of Hancock, moved as a substitute a Bill having for its fib jet tto survey tbe Territory in dispute and the whole of the Territory in Die occupam yof the Cherokees. Be fore any question was taken on either ol the substitutes, a motion was made and prevailed that the committee 3hould rise & report progress and have ! leave to sit again—The Bill was made tiie order ot the day for Tuesday next. brom the Georgia Journal. * legislative heprese\tation. rhf bill to call a convention for the pur pose of altering the constitution in the provision which relates to the r> presenta tion of the counties in the legislature, was, on Y\ ednesday last, rejected by 48 votes against 20. The friends of the measure deser.e praise for their exertions, pa, tic ulaHj Dr. Branham who introduced the ii. publish in our next the debate, ihe senator from Baldwin de serves commendation for the independ ence of his vote on this occasion All the talents and eloquence wnagma- Wp and all the best arguments th and could nave been advanced im—u u.ort ol proposed amendment,-Sc many unanswer able ones were employed by Dr. Hr wi hmi and other cjentleoien,—could not have had any influence with mr, v. aware that should the majority of the people succeed in obtaining a majority in botn branches of the General Assembly, the minority, to which they belong, will cease to exercise in tin legisda'ure that influence to which they know are not entitled They arc aware that, soon as the people are equally represent, ed, a majority of that people will always make the laws, in spite of the minority, which is not the ea*e at present, owing t.* the unjust and unfair manner the count es are represented. It was surprising to hear senators from the small counties, speak of the righ's, privileges, and interest of their const! u ents. They insinuated, that c mokes which can hardly poll from one to two, three, or four hundred votes, are equal to, aud entitled to the same power with* counties which can poll from twelve to two thousand votes; a .cl that those one, two, th> ee, or four hundred v. ders, arc. better men and worth more, than the 1500 voters of either Jon s, Pinnae , Vlotiroe, or Gwinett If ■;* n ndr.d n of lone of the small coundes a-e equal ia pj>int of in us ul ar strength, inu-liig uts pa riotism and devotion to tlie b *s. r est of Georgia, as it was insinuated, wa vviP grant, that they should be repse and in the legislature in Jh** manner pi ovoj and f.*r in the constitution. Du> until we have occular demonstration of the fa t, vve shall certainly continue to believe, and to u ge the subject on the consideration off the people, that, according to republican principles, the 1500 voters of Jones ;re entitled to that increased ratio of p< iv. r in the legislature, which the 100 of a small county pug-ess, or, that the jod shall nos possess more power than itX) voters of Jones. AH we contend for is art equal representation m both biunchis of the legislature. Eve y citizen cannot ask ore; he cannot be satisfied with I -s. And we col aider that man selfish, aristocrat in prin iples, and 11 enemy to free aud representative gov rnmciit, who maintains that territory should be repre sented as w.ml a? population and who aims at power and dictation, against the maj • ity. No man can be a republican, who claims for Himself the political power of fifteen of his fellow citizens. It appears that no alteration will be made to the constitution, a* long as a mi nority of the people has the ascendency u th** legislature. The people themselves, without the intervention of the will have to bring about the change much desired,—Some plan should be ad opted, by which the voice of the majority can be heard and obeyed. Until thvn; a majority of the people will always be enabled to thwart the views of the ma jority, aud the measures they mav pro pose to promote the best intere t of Geor gia. In the Virginia Convention, no# m session, the delegates of one section of the state contended for white population alone as the basis of representation in the house of representatives, while tiie other section contended for white population aud taxation combined. The latter basis has been rejected by the convention, to Georgia, the representation is neither ho sed on population atone, nor on p pulatioa and axo ion combined; tor many of ffrg counties, which contain a large m;;j<rnfy of the people, are not only un quailv represented in the legislature, hut they alone have to upport the government by the taxes tney pay, and to contribute m paving the representative of the other counties, the annual taxes of which do not amount to the annual pay of their mem/ b f rs. Is this fai .just, and democratic. > If reason, justice and argument, cannot prevail in the legislature, the followm** statement, made out from the census T , 1824, and from the report of the Comp troller General presented to the legisl; - ture on the 12 h instant, may open’ tbe eyes of th* people. People of Georgia! Sixty*eight senators voted on this question. Forty eight were against the ca I of a convention, and twen ty for it. Do you belive. that the 48 senators represent more than double the population, or representative par na tion, which the 20 repr sent? It should he more than double, becau e the measure was rejected by a majority of 23, which is more than the number of senators who voted lor the call of a convention, -y ‘l'l do you believ . hut those 48 count ie* have paid in the treasury more than do*t-
