Wiser I lnneous rat* is. . _ ■ ■— . .■■■■■■ ■ ■ . ■ ■ Echoes —ln the whole hemisphere of sounds, I here is no circumstance more striking and cu rious than that of an echo. To hear one's own voice returned, as if it were liie voice <>! anoth er is more surprising than that the r .lections ot one's sen in a moss. I iJecd there is so close a resemblance between the effect ot ii“!it and sound, that c might til says suppose them gov erned bv the same laws. Sound is not only re flected in the same way, but it may also be con veved into a point like light. An experiment of tins kind may be tried upon West-minister in the night time. If a person w hisper in one of the alcoves, (the form of which the produces the eflect,) he will be distinctly heard in the op posite one, though at so great a distance; but a still more striking instance of a similar kind j takes place us the whispering gallery that encir— . tdos the inside of the dome o’ St. Pauls. Echoes are produced by the voice falling upon a reflecting body—as a house, a bill, or a wood. These objects, at seventy feet distant from the speaker, will distinctly return a mono syllable, and tor every forty feet farther troni the reflecting body, a syllable. In Italy, where the atmosphere-and the country are so favora ble toe hoes, you meet with many of extraor dinary duration. Some repeat whole strains ot music, which have given rise to those peurile repetitions, or symphonies, to be met with in earlv writers of that country. So perfect is the echo that the ear is often deceived in not dis tinguishing the reflected sound from those which are direct. In listening to the ringing ot bells, when an object so intervenes as to cut off the direct rays, we hear the sounds as effect, by converging the rays of sound into large por tions, and throwing them into particular parts of the room. The best figure for a eencert rorao is a parollelogram, or long square, in which the souds are equally diffused. Our cathredals partake of thi- form, and are the finest build ings in the country for the display of musical ef fects. The sublimesl operation in nature, which strike us with awe wonder, are to be referred, to the sound of distant echoes, as we hear them in thunder storms. We have two kinds of atmosphere electricity —one in which the fluid plays between an upper and lower tier of clouds, the other in which it darts trom the cloud to the earth. The former is the most common, and not at all dangerous, though it is accompanied with a more appalling sound than the latter, which carries with it de struction and death. The vertical shaft ririkes the highest objects, and is to be destinguished more by a crackling noise than the tremendious roll. The thunder, which follows the horizontal shaft, may be explained upon tiie following principles: As the fluid darts abroad from one side of the heavens to the other, it actually pro duces but one shock, or instantaneous sound, hut, by the reflections of the upper tier on the lower tier of stratum of clouds the echoes are continued in one incessant roll, as if a heavy carriage was furiously driven over head. From the duration of the roll, it is not diffi cult to ascertain that the shaft of liiihtnini; dart.- eight or t u miles acioss the heavens in ari in stant of time. On the lake of Uilswater is heardan imitatation of these effects. On bring a cannon at the fake, the report is so bandied about, trom mountain, to mountain, as to p; educe an ef fect like thunder, which continues for a length of time, expiring in the distance with a noise, not louder than the crumpling of apiece of paper. There is a charm connected with mountains, so powerful that the merest mention of their magnificent features kindles the imagination, and carries the spirit at once into the besom of their enchanted regions. How that mind is filled with their vast solitude! Whoever has not clirned their long and healthy ascents, and seen the tremb'ing mountain flowers, the glow- : ing moss: the richly tinted lichens under foot, and sccnte the fresh aroma of the uncultivated sod—hears the wild cry of the mountain plover, the raven, and eagle and seen the russet hues \ of distant slopes, the lived gashes of ravens,! precipices—the silver line of falling waters, and the whirling clouds at his feet, and cast his gaze over lakes and forests, wide lands and smoking towns, to the ocean’s brink—knows nothing of the splended scenes this land af fords. The tremendous avalanches of snow from the summit of the high Alps in Switzerland, from another echo of the most appalling kind Mr. Bakewell, speaking of the fall of these masses, says “the noise was indescribably deep and awful, reverberating in and repeated echoes, which truly might be called the music of the mountains, and was ig'fierlect harmony with the vast sublimity of the scene. To the deep echoes sacceeded a Solemn silence, till again an ap lling crash from another part of the range was repeated by louder bursts, res ponding from mountain to mountain. It would be required no very poetic imagination to have heard, amid these sounds, the mighty geni of the alps holding conferrence together, in an awjful language, that spoke of the feebleness of human power, compared with the force and immensity of nature. Descending from this vast theatre of sounds, into the hpunts of men how cheering to hear the notes of the goat-herd ringing through thefamut at a breath, and with a stentorian voice, call up the echoes that surrounded him. Accompanied with the lowing herds, and the murmur of the waterfalls, Aiow rich he pours his liquid sung! Ignorant of all the rules of art, ided by his fiincyalone, his vdice in the deep solitude lias a charm in discribable.” —English Papers. Washington's Birth Placei-At a time when all that relates to Washington attracts so much attention and when his tomb is made the sub ject of a nation’s anxiety, a notice of the birth place of the father of his county will not be deemed inappropriate. We have a note from Mr. Custis. of Arlington, which contains the memoranda of some incidents relative to the subject, which have not before been published. I>n. Washington was born pn a place called i | Wakefield, now the property ot John (■ ray, Esq. of Traveller’s Rest, lying on Pope’s ( reck in Westmoreland County, \ <>• Iho house in which he first saw the light was about 300 yards from the Creek, halt a mile from its entrance • into tht’ Potomac. The mansion has leng since 1 fallen to ruins. Some of the trees “of olden j days,” are yet standing around it. There is nothing at present to interest, except the recol lections which must crowd upon the mind, while contemplating the birth place ol If ashington. •*l:i lSlo, immediately after the ratification of the treaty of peace, Mr. Cuslis prepared in his own vessels to the place, having pre|ared a stone with a suitable inscription, to be deposit ed on the ruins of the mansion.” Mr. ('. was accompanied in the execution of this pious duty bv Samuel I.ewis, Esq. great nephew of Wash ington, and the late Win. Grymes, Esqr. the | son of an officer of the revolution who held a j command in the body guard. The patty land- I ed at Wakefield, hearing in their arms the stone, encircled bv the star spangled banner, and hav ing gathered together as much materials from the remains of the ancient mansion as would serve for a rude pedestal, they <k posited the stone thereon, with this inscription : “Here, the 22d of February, 1752, George Washington was born.”—The duty performed, the party re embarked, and hoisting their colours fired a salute from the vessel, thus completing the in teresting, and surely not unimpressive ceremo nial, of placing the first stone of file monument.” A late writer speaking of the interesting place remarks : ‘Considering this spot with the association of its being the place where one of the greatest and best men that ever appeared on this earth, first drew breath and saw the light of heaven; j its being independent ot such association a beau tiful one; and with its proximity to the Potomic 1 river, where steamboats in the season of them daily passing from Washington to Baltimore, j Norfolk, &c. it is surprising that it should be soj little known and visited. Not one in a thou sand of the passengers in steamboats has any know ledge that this “solum natael,” of him w hom the world honours, is remote, but a mile over the waters’s surface; and hid from his view on ly by a fringe of wfild shrubbery. The verdure is ns beautiful, and the flowers as brilliant and numerous around Washington’s birth place ns his tomb. Though there is now no stated land ing place for steamboats on this side the Poto mac within 12 miles, yet one might anchor in the stream, and barges of ladies and gentleman from it, reach Wakefield’s* shores in a few min-; utes.

Indian cure for Rheumatism. —The Indian first broke a hole in the ice sufficiently large enough to admit us both, upon which he made! a signal bat all was ready. Enveloped in a large buffalo robe, I proceeded to the spot, and -throwing oft my coveting, we both jumped in the frigid orifice together. He immediately commence rubbing my shoulders, back and loins: my hair in tlie mean time, became ovna tncßted with e'icl- s; and white the lowei joints were undergoing their friction my face neck, and shoulders were incased in a thin covering of ice. On getting released, I rolled a blanket about me, and ran back to the bed room, in which I had previously ordered a good fire, and in a lew moments I experienced a warm glow all over my body. Chilling and disagreeable as these matinel ablutions were, yet as I found them so beneficial, I continuejJthem for twenty live days, at the expiration of which my physi cian was pleased to say that no more were ne cessary, and that I had done my duty* like a wise man. I was never more troubled with a rheumatic pain. The Pawnee Brave. —One of the jnost pro minent characters in Thatcher’s lives of the In dians, is the celebratedJJliami, Little Turtle, called in his own lag&uage, Nestenucaqua. Mr. T. gives him on the authority of School craft, the credit of doing much to abolish the practice of human sacrifice amongst ihe Sava ges of the W est. The passage reminds us of a well authenticated anecdote of a -young Paw nee Brave, who visited Washington some ten years since. The Pawness were at w-srr with another trans- Mississippian trioe, living several days journey to the south ot them. In forays in to the ener.iy’s country, a part M warriors cap tured a beautiful Indiungir^ herhome in triumph. A Council ofwli,- Pawnees was called, and the prisgidr was decreed to die at the faggot.-—1 ijejataf pile was raised in the middle of rypvide plain, near the villages of the tribes; antHiii immenseyflultijjude, of all ages and sizes—for th /Saivness are still quite nu merous—pol!ecsmj witness the ceremony. Just as t£r-flame wap'about being sot around the trembling viqflffi a ajlant young war chief rushed forwardto,fhe |dp, leading two fleet hor ses, thoi-owgh-1v eompiWiKorfted for the journey. He unloosed the bainks which confined the prisoner, at one of strwo-of his knife—helped her to mount one es Ms^teeds —mounted the other hiinsi liefore his countrymen had recovered from (heir first,surprise, had cleared the ring,and was a on hi- way to the. South. He con'iiaAd his-attendance two bays] and then left her the territory of her own i tribe, and with fitovisions for the residue of the ‘ way. On his retHymhorne not a word of re- : proach was him. He was pop- \ ular, and the only thought proper to overlook (lie liberty- ne had taken in consid- j eration ot his bravery, but they ascribed the act to the imp-ration ofjhe Great Master of life. It is said there h is been no sacrifice among them from that day to this. We have forgotten, if we ever knew, this gal lant fellow’s name; but lie was much compli- Washington’ and especially by the ladies oHhat city, as the Pawnee Brave. IVe wish there had been enough known ofhim for a Life, but as the old saying is, “half a loaf is bet ter than none.”—,V. V. Com. Adv. Air. Q’Connell. —The character of an as- scmlilv may bo judged by its most popular speakers, iloinclv congeniality of sentiment, is more applauded than eloquent dissent; there fore the most popular speakers in an assembly represent the character o! that assembly. Look then at Mr. O’Connell. From the icy cold ness with w hich that extraordinary man was re | ceived when ho lirst entered the house, lie has I risen perhaps to be the most attractive debater ■ that Iftseiubly possesses. Ilis style of parlia ! nientaiy speaking has, we believe, never been sketched. Let us humbly attempt to supply the omission. Daniel O’Conell has great ad vantages of person--he has all that appearance of power w hich height and robust proportions invariably give to the orator, without being the least corpulent or fleshy, without coming under Cicero’s anathema against the “Vastus.” He has great girth of chest—stands firm as a rock; hisgesturcs are tree,bold and warm, his counte nance plays with all he litters; his mouth in par ticular indicates with great felicity the passion of the moment; frank in conciliation, bitter in scorn. Indeed the shape of the lips is rather a contradiction to the manlier traits of the ora tor’s fine athletic person —it is so pliable in character, so delicate in outline. It indicates, according to the science of physiognamy, a quick and even over quick susceptibility. Eyes light, full and clear: the throat nervous and fine ly shaped- always left tree in the loose neck cloth; and small nose, but with deep set, reso lute nostrils, complete a very striking and char acteristic lout ensemble. The Irish accent, in its more polished dialect, does not detract from a voice by far the most clear, flexible and lucid ly distinct you ever heard. You cant escape into a corner of that ill-built house to avoid it. Yet he speaks in a much lower tone than most other speakers, and in a much mellower key. As to matter—lie throws himself at once on file strong bearing of the subject; he seizes the question by its common sense. Unlike other lawyers, you never find him prying into the lit tle holes and corners, niggling his soul into the cranny of a question. As we said of Lord Chatham, it is the one proud view which he takes and insists upon,and that this vciw should allow him to be so popular in the House of Commons, is a striking proof how democratic that assembly has become. But while taking abroad popular .view of the. question, while ner vous and often horrid in language, O’Connell is not declamatory—not an Irish speaker in the English house. The flights of that astonish ing eloquence he exercised over the multitude, he seems anxious to repress in the House. He rather figures as a debator than an orator; curbs his ardor, and puts his genius under re straints. lie has sensibly improved in parlia mentary speaking, he improves daily, from con fidence in his superiority. His parliamentary fame is nothing to what it will be.-JYew Month ly Magazine. Vl aatfy THE WESTERUT HERALD. AURARIA, GEORGIA, JUNE 25, is:s:i. r; j L ’ Vvc are authorized to anounce the name ofMaj.

The Legislature of the State, in their deliberative wis dom, believing in the words of one of the ancient apostles of Liberty, “That tiiepeopte are capable of self Govern ment,” have vested in you the right of making a selection between the two contending candidates for the office, and upon your choice whether right or wrong depends, in all probability, the fate ofthe country, the welfare and pros perity of the people, and the sovereignty, independence, and respectability of the State. And however, unimpor tant it may seem to von at times, who is the Governor of the State, we believe from the past, the present, and the prospective, that those tunes do not exist now and that it is time, high time, for you to be discussing themerits,dis canting upon the virtues, and deciding upon (lie deserv ing claims ofthe competitors now before you, for that high j and important office. If you want a Governor who is artful, inihcubing,deceptive, changeable, yielding, com promisingswervir.g,cringing, boasting and self applauding in every act of his life, whether public or private; a man who never tVas know n to give a correct opinion, or take a correct position in relation to any matter,until he has time to count noses; a man who is sometimes a ffvUifier, and sometimes a Submissionist, sometimes for Stale Rights, and sometimes lor Consolidation , you can get just such a medley of contradictions, and uncertainticscopped down upon you, by supporting the present, incumbent Wilson Lnnpkin, a mar* who, when in Congress, so much abused the franking privilege by puffing his own fame and soun ding his own trumpet to the innocent, the ignorant and the unsuspecting. A man who, in one short message to the Legislature came out broadly in favor ofthe doctrine contended for on the part of the Nullifiers, and at the close of his message, as usual, spoke of Nullification as a new; dangerous and unprecedented doctrine, a man too, who under his Executive authority Tor fear of incurring j the displeasure of those who were daily insulting the dig nity of the Stite ifnd jfs officers, by open threats of resis ting the supremacy ofthe law, and setting at naught the enactment of laws,and defying theoperation ofour judicia ry, by a suspension of the enforcement of thcjpenal code, upon tne Missionrics, who for the expected blessings ari sing from the cry of persecution, arid the dolerous tales told from the pulpit, of their own martyrdom. Yes, we say it was fear, and cowardice, that caused Governor Lumpkin on that occasion to stoop so low as to disgrace himself, his office, and that dignity of the State which he was expected to preserve inviolate, under his official care, and guidance, by intercessions, persua sions, and constant friendly communication* through Ins agents, counsellors, and abettors, with the missionaries, tlie self condemned violators ol the law, the convicts ot a known daring outrage upon the sovereignty ot the State, and although bv profession, (otic of them,) a preacher of the Gospel, prompted by the worst oi passions, acting under the influence of prejudice against the dignity, magnanim ity ami justice of the State, and its authoriti's, had through obstinacy', chosen a cell in our State prisor rather than become law’ abiding citizens who were so fa ‘rom peni tence, that they w ould scarcely receive pardon, hen offer j red them. Upon such lenient terms ot Execulivi lemcn | cy, after the Governor had precisely ascertained what 1 would suit their notions of decorum upon his part, ami offering them pardon upon such terms and under such rulCs of propriety as they thought would come fully up to what it really was, an outrageous slander, and an ever lasting disgrace upon the sovereignty, intelligence, and independence of a southern State. But hear the Gover nor’s own language, in his proclamation on that occasion. “ The .Missionaries having appealed to the justice and magna nimity of the State, Q-c. The law uniter whichthey were sen tenced, having been repealed <s-c.” Although tlieGovemor low ered himself, not only beneath the becoming dignity of his office, but as we conceive below the dignity even of a common citizen, in approaching the convicts in the Peni tentiary upon such a subject. We see notliing of this sympathetic appeal on their part, and the reason he as signs lor acting so promptly and unhesitatingly, in giving them a discharge on making the appeal, is as salacious and as deceptive as the Governor himself is. Merely be cause the Legislature had repealed the law under which they were sentenced. The known principle of the law is, that when ever an individual commits a crime, he must be tried under the law in force, and in existence at the time of its commission; and if the law was repealed the very next day after the offence was committed, it could not be plead in bar to a prosecution, nor would it be good in ar restof judgment, Imt the aggressor must in all cases, if convicted, suffer the penalty annexed at the time of viola ting the law 7. And although the power of pardon is ves ted in this high officer, whenever a case arises, lie should act with becoming firmness, in order to sustain the digni ty of the State and his office, which Governor Lumpkin entirely lost sight of in Ins official conduct on this occasion. People of Georgia, are you w illing to continue in office a mail who has thus disgraced your state; a man who is thus wanting in firmness; so entirely destitute of courage, as to be alarmed into a measure, so contemptablc and disgraceful, as to descend from the executive station in I which you had placed him, to the cells of your state prison, and there intercede with the convicts to ac cept pardon, rather than he would resist a decis ion of the Supreme Court, gratuitously made or about to be made which that bodv had no more right to make, than they have to pass laws for the inter nal regulation of your state, or denying your right of municipal regulation, placing your state in a situa tion, rather below a corporation in pond of power, to pass law s for her own government. We cannot, we will not believe that you are, and can only be convinced by your selection at the polls, between him and his competi tor, Maj. Crawford, who fortunately, as we conceive, is every thing to the reverse of Mr. Lumpkin. On ac quaintance with Maj. Crawford, as a man, you will ever find him modest, and unassuming in his deportment; easy and familiar in his address; pleasant and dignified, in his manner; prompt and decisive in every action of his life; possessing all the virtues that mark the soldier in the field; the gentleman in the retired domestic circles of life, and the statesman in whatever official sphere he may be destined to move in; a man, against whom his political ene mies can say nothing, only that he has once been beaten for the same office. Does it follow as a matter of course that because Maj. Craw ford has once been beaten by an emalgaination of the whole of the Clark party, and a large majority of his own political friends, in the united support ot Mr. Gilmer overturn, that he is not now the choice of the people, w'e lliink not. Mr. Gilmer’s honest course in going in for the intcicst of the state, recommending large reserves of the Cherokee country, did not suit the selfish views and avaricious cravings of many of his political friends, and brought upon him, the displeasure of all his supporters, who went in for him only in order to entan gle him in the progress of his administration, so that they as a party, might profit by his misfortune, and thereby put Jiim down, and build upon his ruins, which they have in part succeeded in; but two years in our estimation, has been fully sufficient to expose the error,and remedy the evil, which can only be done by tlie election of Maj. Crawford, over the present incumbent —■vox.- FOR THE WESTERN HERALD. OUR COUNTY SCITE. Mr. Editor: —As the location of our Court House lias already produced considerable excitement among the peo ple of our county, and as there is a great diversity of opin ion upon this subject; and as a speedy and final adjust ment ofthe difficulties which are likely to result from the present selection, is of vital importance to the prosperity of our newly settled countiy, permit me, Mr. Editor through the medium of your paper to place before the people of our county, for their impartial investigation, the follow ing, facts: It is strongly urged by some, that the present location is as near the centre of the county, as the county and public interest will justify. —Ilow’far this declaration is supported by facts, will be seen from the following state ment. From lot No. 950, 12, 1, (the present location) on a direct line* South, to the county line of Forsyth, tne dis tance is thirteen and a half miles; from the same place North, to the top of the Blue Ridge and Union county line, eight and a half miles; difference in favor of the mountains five miles. From the same place Eastward to the county lineof Hall at Macajah Walker’s, five miles; west to the county tine of Gilmer, fiftevn mites; de ference in favor of the Eastu-ard ten miles. From the same place North East to the comers of Habersham, Union and Lumpkin, eighteen and a half miles; South- West, to the comers ofCherokee and Lumpkin, twenty and a half miles; difference in favor of the North East, and Habersham people two miles. But there is one fact here worthy of particular atten tion and that is this, that part ofthe fifth District of Hab ersham, attached to Lumpkin, is of a remarkably poor mountainous country, and forming of itself a complete angle, adds five or six miles to the distance North East, making tho inequality of distance North East, and South West, still greater than the calculation above. From the same place South East to the comers of Hall, Forsyth and Lumpkin, at Wooley’s mills, fourteen miles; North West to the corners of Union and Lumpkin, sev enteen miles; difference in favor of the South East three miles. Another view of the subject. There arc three hundred nd twenty square miles West of a line drawn from the county line of Forsyth, to the county line of Union on the ■'lop of the Blue Ridge, Northand South through lot No. 950, (the Court House) and East of the same line, one hundred and eleven square miles- making a difference in favor of the East, of two hundred and nine square miles. There aic two hundred ami twenty eight square miles. south of a line drawn tluoHgb tlie Homo place train • Hall county line, to the county line of Gilmer, Ej, t £ West. North of the same line, there are two f0,,? and three square miles, making a difference of httniijL square miles in favor of the North. Is it not plain, Mr. Editor, from tins statement'ol’ U and “facts arc stubborn things” and 1 challenge an tion of them, that great injustice lias been don: the a? pie residing in the North West, and South East p--., ot the county, and the only section of the county w l latcd to supjtort and maintain a heavy population. It is also said by the udvocatf sos this location (U pretly good roads can bo made to Hinl from the (Jr* House, with a moderate and reasonable quantity oft botir. Now Mr. Editor, it only requires a little knowledge J the country over which these prttty roads arc to lie ( a : in order to see the utter impossibility ot an undertaking,/ the kind. It is admitted by tbese advocates, that from the House to Blackw ells mills, a distance of three miles t(J this same pretty road must piles ovei one and a half of mountains. Is it reasonable to suppose, Mr. Edit that a good road ran be made over a mountain one a halfmiles from the fool to the top w ith a recsonad, quantity of labour and expense? If so, I for one be extremely glad to know by what process it is to b c feeti-d. The route from Blackwells by Dauvcrgnes, pig tatlon on the longbranch to the Fork Store, is but better than the other. The long branch Hills bein ft tie inferior to the Chostatec mountain. The pro'haldi cost ofmaking a pretty good road over this route, 1 l CiI( for other, and more competent judges than myself. But, Mr. Editor if the powers that be, should finalh be driven to the nceesity of abandoning their wild schc®;’ ami of taking the road by Auraria to Gainsville (a pk, by the bv, they seem disposed at the risk of every hazaj to give the go by) it must pass over Cain creek hill. 1 who is it Air. Editor who does not know that it is aim® I impossible with any reasonable quantity of labour or ®. pense to make even a passable rone over this hill or no, er mountain. If Mr. Editor, what liasalrendy been said bc truotr, facts have hern established beyond all doubt. First that the present location is at least five or q miles East of the centre of the county. Second, ih till imppossible to make passable roads to from the Co®! House with any reasonable quantity oflalionr orrxpen*. In my next, I shall attempt a further developement and the injuries resulting from this location, and that it w® made either from an ignorance of the Geography of & county, or from selfish and interested motives. JUN'ICS, j + These calculations arc all made on direct lines. Office of the Savannah Republican, I Savannah, May 27th, i833. j William 11. Crawford, Esq. D ear Sir —The relation which you ban long held, and now maintain, to the Politics ol Georgia, will, I trust sufficiently excuse the tres pass upon you. From its establishment, the Savannah Ilipi blican has, uniformly, advocated and maintained the doctrines which brought Jefferson and Ik Republican party into power. These doctrines have been maintained in Georgia, by Jama Jackson, Abraham Baldwin, John Milled”;,! W. W. Bibb, yourself, George M. Troup] and the rest of the Republican party. To then I am disposed that the Republican shall still ad here. In letters which I have recently received from Milledgeville, it has been affirmed, that Ik Troup party is extinct in Georgia, and that Ik parties now existing, are the Union and JYullif ers. On the other hand, responsible meiniten of the Troup Party have denied this statement and have asserted, that the parties now exis ting in this State,are essentially the same as the;, have existed for many years past, namely : lit Troup and Clark parties. As you are a distinguished member of tk Union Party, I take leave to ask that you *3 do me the favor to inform me of the actual con dition of parties in Geoigia, and whether you to cognize tlie old party distinctions of our Stall as still existing, or whether they have been mo ged in a Union, and a Nullification Party. Ifyou shall oblige me by an answer, I must ait for permission to publish your letter in the fit publican, as an authority which none will dispuij in the settlement of a question of deep interest It; my patrons. I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, E. DE LA MOTT.I, Editor of the Savannah Republica. Wood-lawn, 3d June, 1833. J\Ty Dear Sir —Your letter of the 27th it! was received by this day’s mail, in due ccurst I You inform me in it, that letters, received fret I Milledgeville affirm, that the Troup Party is e> tinct in the State. On the other hand you sat,; that respectable members of the Troup parti assert that the parties now existing in the staid are essentially the same as have existed i ycats So far as my testimony can be of anjj service to you, it is wholly in affirmance of tbt latter assertion. That the Clark Party shouH be solicitous to merge theirgeneric political oam into one more respectable, is no mat*'’- of sur prize to any one who is acquainted w ith the mo ral and political character of that party, but that they should have aid and assistance, in eilectinf their political metamorphosis front gentlcmet affecting to belong to the Republican or Trouf Party, is truly astonishing. The fact on)’ proves that we have wolves in sheep’s cloatb ing in our ranks. The late Convention * Milledgeville proves this fact, if other evidence was wanting. It was during this same conven tion, that the Clark Party first made an efiorttt assume the character of the Union Adminislnj tion Party. But the conduct of the self style! Union Party, during the session ofthe Conven tion, proved sufficiently the identity of the Clad Party. That party has never possessed politi cal power without abusing it! It has neverebo sed it more flagrantly, than in the late Conven tion. The abuse of power in the Legislation prostrated that party in 1825. If the abuse power in the Legislature destroyed the ascen dancy oftheClark party in 1825,h0w muchmortj effectually ought an abuse of power to destroy tk when that abuse has been manifested in there' 1 -, sion ofthe Constitution. That the self style l ! Union Party, is essentially the Clark Party, man can doubt who has witnessed the proceed-. ings of the late Convention. Can the Ethyopi* an change his skin ? Can the Leopard chan? his spots ? When either of these events sha-J happen, then it may be possible for the Cloth party to change its moral and political character--; The Union Party may, and probably will, deavor to assume the character of the late Fe<r eral Party. Its leaders may possibly endear* to effect this revolution, but it will be extreme* difficult. The materials they have to oper ai * with, are very discordant. That the Trouppu
