ft Ail .ON FOR RELIEF.
The citizens of Stewart, who have been and
are sufferers m consetpaeuce of the depredations
committed oy the ■* >ln tiaus in tiie try ing
tunes of 1836, fc ive scut up a petition to the Leg
|ature praying that bouy to afford them relief.
Having be i b tied and disappointed by the Con
gress of the United States, whose duty it was to
remunerate them for their looses, and seeing no
other means left them oy which they may be ena
bled to avert the impending storm which lowers
now so threatuiugly over their heads, they have
been driven to this, their last resort, and the ques
tion now is, will their petition be granted—will
their fellow-citizens, who compose the Georgia
Legislature, also turn a deaf ear to their entrea
ties, and send them from their doors empty and
penny less ? We beueve ill y will not, as we teil
confident there is as much ot the “milk of hu
man kindness” in the breast ot those who call
themselves Georgians, as m that ot any other peo
ple, and it is only necessary for them to know that
a porti j l . ' neh' p( .■ •• £ trom some
calamitous and uiilorsceu circumstances, and
they are not ot that class to be behind their lel
low-citizens ot the sister States in deeds oi' chari
ty aud benevolence.
The petitioners have cited circumstances where
citizens who nave sutlered from the destruction of
ill. ir property by lire, have met with rei.el from
tao L -gislature of the State in which the calami
ty occurred, by having extended to them a loan of
a sufficient amount to meet their engagements
uud ameliorate their distress. They have instanc
ed New York, Charleston and Savannah, to whose
citizens the kindness and liberality of the Legis
latures and the people of the different States have
been so s nerously extended.
We w-.ulu at this time, particularly call the at
tention of our Legislature to the noble example
so recently set by our sister State South Carolina,
in tm aid which she afforded the citizens of
Charleston when that beautiful city was laid to
ashes by the devouring element; and how nobly
did that State sustain her character for liberality
and benevolence, h administering to the
.ofs dh u 0 And is the situa
tion oi our cituens and that of the inhabitants
of Charleston different? AVe think not, unless
U.e difference exists in die more torlorn and help
less condition ot thoxe > v.-osed to the attacks ot
the marauding savage, than that of those whose
property was devoured by the flames. Were the
citizens oi Charleston driven from their homes by
the raging of the fnery clement, then to see
their houses aud possessions tail amidst the ciack
ling of the flames? tso were our citizens com
pelled to forsake their homes, not however, be
cause these homes were in -i blaze ot tire, but be
cause a merciless sav was close upon tnem,
and unless they fled for safety elsewhere, they
knew, by the dreadful fate of their neighbors and
(Vi-mts, that they* their wives and children must
fall victims to the deadly rifle and scalping knife
ts their unrelenting and unfeeling enemy. 1 bus
driveu from their tire-sides, every thing many pos
sessed on earth was it texposed to the rapacity ot
their savage foe. The torch was applied to
the dwellings of many, and laid waste ; their barns
and corn cribs shared a similar fate, aud tlie.r
tields ot flowing corn and thriving cotton were
entirely demolished. The sufferers then laboring
under these calamitous circumstances have been
thrown into a forlorn aud almost hopeless
condition; and now, what they have been enabled
to accumulate by their industry since the ravag
ing storm of 1836 has blown over, together with
ivhat little escaped the raging of that storm, for
the support of their wives aud little ones, is about
t 0 be snatch“d from them by the sheriff to satisfy
ihe ijuuiids of their inexorable Creditors, when
nad it not oeen ior the mismanagement ot those in
power, they never would have been involved.
Let our Legislature consider the more than de
plorable and wretched condition in which our ci
tizens will be placed provided their property is sold
upon the blocw m these times of distress, and they
can but extend to the loan ot a sufficient
amount of money t > rescue their property from a
sacrifice so gre t. and a calamity so direful. Let
them but consider that those who now petition .or
rebel, nobly breasted the storm oi Indian war
fare, and battled manfully for the protection o; tiie
State and the honor of the country, and tneir pa
triotism will cab so louii.y upon tnem them that
they will be compelled to yield, and answer the
petition of the sufferers by granting their request.
Thev do not ask the Legislature to give them one
single cent—all they desire L that they may have
the means placed in their hands so that they may
be enabled to meet their demands at the present
crisis, and at a proper time the amount will be re
funded. Cau so reasonable a request be relused ?
We hope not—for the honor oi our State we
pray it may not.
The matter is with them, and it is for them to
say whether our citiz as shall be driven from tbeir
homes— their farfnh* bro ht to poverty anl
want, or for them to afford that aid which
will cheer the desponding spirits oi the distressed
| audgladdenthe hearts of tn 7 helpless aud forlorn.
THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
The Message came to hand too late tor publica
tion iu this week’s paper, we will lay it before our
leaders next week. It is a plain business paper,
setting forth the actings and doings ot the F.xecu
tive dariug the past year, accompanied with such
explanations and recommendations as the public
interest required.
It will be seen by this document that Goverpo r
Gji m er has not disappointed the confidence repos
ed in hin as a vigilant public officer, but has dis
charged his duty faithfully—promptly • His
as it should be, has been open to the least intima
tion of danger from the Indians lingering ou our
borders, and has promptly met the emergency so
that the lives and property of our people have been
secured.
His recommendations in regard to internal Im
provements are such as they should be, aud wt!
hope the Legislature will be liberal not only in
maiing provision “for tlie entire completion ot
theWesteru and Atlantic Rail Road, in giving to
Rail Roads which are now progressing by iucor
porited companies such assistance as may be de
manded by the public interest,’ lor, to use the lan
guage of the Message, “it we shall e\ei succeed
to ti e extent of our wishes in enjoying the advan
tages of direct inn ortations trom Europe ol the
proceeds of the sales of agricultural productions
exported thither, it must be by those facilities
for transportation, bringing such an accession of
capital to our cities asto enable the southern and
southwestern and western merchants to se.l what
they have to export, and obtain the supplies of
European goods upon e< favorable terms in oui
markets, as in New York, and by inducing the
Northern manufactures to seek an exchange ot
t'ticir fabrics in the same markets for our rice and
raw cotton, and the flour a .and pork ot the \Y est.
Our room will not allow us to say more-*—the
Message will speak for itselt.
The Van Buren Party throughout the United
States, have raised such a terrible shout tor the
triumph of their idol in the elections which have
recently taken place in the different States, as to
make the people believe they have taken every
thing by storm. A “great victory’’ is proclaimed to
have taken place in first one State and then in anoth*
er, and matters seem to be going ou just as
they would desire—every thing seems to be pros*-
periug in their hands, and there appears to be no
doubt with them but that they will come olfvicto
rious throughout the United States. l>iit how
stands the case? We perceive that their tri
umphs are, as usual, all over the “wrong shoul
der” for them, and instead of being in the major
ity in the next Congress they will be most wri tell
edly in the minority, unless the States in which
elections are to be held do better for them than
those where they have taken place. In the pit
sent Congress the Van Jiuren party lias a Rep
resentation from the States where elections have
recently been held, ot 51, while the Anti-A <tns
have a vote of 41, leaving a majority ot 10 for the
Van Buren gentry, lu the next Congress they
will have from the same States, 47, aud the Anti
\ ans a vote of 45, thus reducing their majority
down to two only. So much for the triumph of
Van Burenism in the late elections.
