lln population represented by
the 48 senators, amount to, 180,000
and the repiesentative population
to, . 162,000
The population represented by
the 20 senators of the minority, a
mount to, 185,000
and the representative population
to, 153.000
The amount of taxes paid by the
48 counties, amount to, 8-14,457 50
l'he amount ot taxes paid by
the 20 counties, amount to 32 520 15
The difference between the represent
ntiv’e population of the 48 and the 20
counties is only 9000} then 28 senators
represent only 9000 representative popu
lation, while 20 represent 153.000!!!
But there was a majority of the people
in the senate, when the question was ta
ken. The President of the senate did
not vote; but the citizens of Greene are
in favor of a convention. So that if we
add the representative population of that
county, 10 500, to the representative
population ot the 20 counties of the
minority, the representative popula
tion of 21 counties, represented by the
21 senators present, would amount
to more, by 1,500 than the repre
sentative population of the 48 counties It
is then certain, that notwithstanding there
were 28 senators majority against toe call
of a convention, yet a majority of tin
people, actually but unequally represent
ed in the senate, was in favor of it.
The case of John Guimarin which
has occupied the Court for the best halfof
last week and this was decided Tucg
day night about 12 o’clock. Before the
jury retiied, they stated to the Court
that they wished to examine more par
ticularly the Policies ot Insurance, and
ask'd how long it would wait for them.
On being informed that the Court would
wait one hour, they retired, and in a
1> ut Id minutes returned with a verdict
of not guilty. Public opinion is not
more overwhelming in its censure than
applause. \\ hen the verdict was read,
the court room rang with the shout of
‘approbation. Neither Judge, nor officers;
were regarded. i’he crouded r.udience;
give vent to feeiings founded on their
belief, that th< jury bad given a r.ghteuus
verdict. We think no person, who heard
the long chain of circumstantial, and
often irrelevant evidence, cou'd enter
tain a doubt of the innocence of the ac
cused. Indeed, through the whole c uise
of the trial, to u-e the language of one
of Ins eloquent advocates, Suspicion
gradually sunk into the conviction of
innocence.’ — Courier. 3d jns t.

FROM THE STATESMAN & F-TRIOT.
APPEAL TO THE CLARK PARTY.
It is with peculiar pleasure that we
have contemplated your exertions du
ring the late contest for Governor;
and the more recent election of State
House officers. The integrity of your
faith and ‘he unity of your action
have been,.in a great dgree, perse
vered. No alternative is now left you
hut an unbending persi vcrance in the
same course. The spirit of proscrip
tion, which has * ver marked the con
duct of your opponents, is still cher
ished is. persevered in with unrelenting
rigor. Though differing from them
in many points of prim ipleand policy,
you had been induced to believe they
were at length, willing to regard you
as a part of the body politic, and that
by a liberal co-ouerafion and mutual
forbearance, you were to share some
part in those ofii< rs more immediately
within the gift of the Legislature.
You asked for no more Mian your
numbers, your intelligence, and your
burdens in ti c support of tin* govern
Hi nt entitled you to. r i iici e were

within their disposition —You urged
your just claims (nr b lit three of them.

Vou pr served inviolably what you
coiirejx.cd to be a sacred amV mutual,
obligation. When the power was iff
vour hands you forbore to use it; and
with a magnanimity, which you ex
pected, but in vain, to see recipro t
ml, you did not oppose those whom it
was iu your power to have dote ad.
This forbearance alone on your
part, had there been no other pledge
tor your success, should have been <■ i
no ugh for a magnanimous foe. Itj
Would have been an inconsistency in 1
you to have acted otherwise. You
had but a few weeks before united j
with a part of them in an important;
election in which vour numbers decid
ed the contest. Os the result of that
election, you have as yet seen no
cause for complaint. We still have
confidence that his excelle cy will be,
as lie has said, the Chief Magis
trate of the State, and not of a parly.”
We trust that lie will not, like tin
members of the Legislature, forget
the friends that aided him iu his eleva
tion.
But upon those whose faith ha3 al
ready been tried, you arc compelled to
write Tckcl —until you can find a Da
niel to give their conduct a more favo
ruble interpretation. There may b
some wlio have acted with integrity.
To such we would not he ungenerous
But as a party, what have you to ex
pect from them, but broken treaties
and faithless professions ? As if th*
very ballot box’ were polluted by tin*
ti kets which passed through your
hands, not tody your own adherents
have beeti rejected from office; but even
those of their own creed whom you have
been liberal enough to support, have
been made to share in your inglorious
defeats. Talents, qualifications, and
experience of the higher order among
themselves , have been put aside to
make room tor other less gifted, but
more devoted to the prim iples of ex
elusion, or less respected by your own
party. Thus they say to their friends;
your devotion to us must be absolute,
or you need not expect our favor. If
their candidate deviate a single step
from tins rule, tin ir maxim is, * E
phraim is joined unto idols, let him
atone.’
We wish you not to misunderstand ua,
by -opposing that we attach an undue im
portance to the <iflic>;s themselves from
which you have been excluded, nor to the
pittance that they would bring to any of
you as individuals These are but the,
ensigns of honor and distinction. Ihe i
oaken garland of the Roman conqueror,
possessed no intrinsic merit. But when
he entered the Forum, decorated with its
simple honors, lie was hailed by the ad
miring multitude, as the champion of
freedom and the saviour of bis country.
You are contending for the mastery of
principle,* and vour exclusion from office
is the mark ot your disgrace—the evi
dence that your opinions have been put
dovvn, and your voice and influence in
the administration of your government!
been silenced. These offices are there !
fore only to be valued as the evidence of
the prevalence of your opinions. Ihe
monopoly of office enables your adver
saries to propagate their principles.
Nor is this confined vvilhin the limits cl
Georgia. Its baneful influence has ex
tended, till your voice in the Ha Ms of
Congress has been stifled, and even your
access to the cabinet of the Union been
endangered. *
In what instance have the I roup party
ever been known to abandon one of their;
candidates and take up yours?—We r< *’
member none. Their doctrine is. victo
ry or death.’ By this course, they have
continually gained accessions, and have
taimht their candidates their . fundamental,
lessons of monopoly and exclusion. |
Whether in the majority or the minority,;
they have invariably put forward their
candidate, and voted for him till the con
test has been decided. Y ur policy, on
the contrary has been yielding and concil
iatory- And what have you gained by if.**
Nothing but in rlification and defeat! And
nothing but mortification and will
you reap frotn such a cou.se. * ,iul ‘S arei
continually made upon your magnanimity
and your liberality. But when hr.va they
ever In en reciprocated: Ain should
v ,.„ hand the stick <o those who only
u-e it to beat your own beads? Adopt
■i cou" c e which will cause your firmness
-,nd your integrity to your principles to
U respected as virtues by your antago
nists. When you have decided a doubt* I
fui contest between them, the curses of
their defeated candidate are poured up
on yow hi at;s ; that y OU have neith
th sympathies of the defeated, nor the
triumphs of the successful. The former
contemns you for his failure—the latter
becomes tenfold more inveterate again;,!:
you to prove to his own party that his ‘
a t ichment to them, remains unimpaired.
-Should, the office, thus attained by
your suffrages, be one of honor, influ
ence, or emolument, all these are used as
instruments to beat down your power
and suppress the propagation of your
principles, ilius while your friends are
rendered lukewarm the hands of your
opponents are continually strengthened.
W hy the i should you any longer pur
sue a conciliating policy? If you must
be put down by the strong band of an
unrelenting power—if*, when your ene
mies have sent theii flag of truce into
your camp, suing for peace, and yoiir
chosen men have been despa l ched under
its protection, to settle preliminaries, they
have violated their faith and put them to
sword—-and even while vour arms were
stack and, waiting their return, they have
t.illen u.ion your lines aiid attempted to
cut you iu pieces—you should remember,
that an honorable defeat, in a battle
bravely fought, is always more gloiious,
than a tame capitulation, strrpt of all the
honors of war. It is not long since your
opponents have gain'd the ascendency.
While you were in power, you did not
till discussion and use office to perpet
uate success You did not erect fortifi
cations, and leave them manned as you
advanced from one post of honor and
power to another You did not station
your pickets, and have your relief guards,
who could take their stations only by
b"ing able to give the countersign. You
did not move among t'ie people of Geor.
gia, as if you were in an enemy‘s ramp—
nor keep youi spies out to allure them >o
your allegiance by hollow pretences, and
false and delusive principles. You h.'ve
never gained power by tuck and ailifice.
You have never seized upon the Institu
turns of your country to propogate your
principles and -hut out others from the
halls of literature and science.—You have
never blinded the public and muzzled
your presses. You have never b-en
wanting in love to your country. You
have never withheld from her support
your talents, your wealth, and your influ
ence. You have never cherished against
y<*ur confederate government, sentiments
of dislovalty and disunion. Why there
fore should you be despised and excluded
fiom her offices of honor and profit?
As you value then your rights—As you
believe your principles to be those which
I are to save the Republic—go forward
per everingly and unitedly in their sup
port. Invariably put forward a man wh
will sustain your doctrines and do cre
dit to your party and your State. You
have nothing to lose by this system. Y>u
have n t a man from your ranks in any
important office of the State.—And in
vain Can you expect to obtain one by a
compromising policy till your opponents
‘become convinced that you are deter
mined *‘fo stand by your arms.” Ymr
! cause is not yet, desperate. I ruth mu-t
prevail. Ttie dawn seems to be breaking.
The day of retribution must come, and
we hope, is fast advancing, when the eyes
of the people will be opened J lie
shackles be knocked from your hands, and
the moral eneigies <-f an insulted and a
bused community be roused into action
to shake off the trammels of intrigue and
oppression—when the spirit of the Fare
well Address of the Father of his conn
try will return, like an ‘‘angel‘B visit, * to
bring back the ark of your political cov
enant from the bouse of Dagon.
