FROM THE SIAMLAND GAZETTE.
Dxlrcci from a Letter of .Mr. Thomas Paine ,
to a Lady on her .Marriage .
[NOT BEFORE PUBLISHED.]
“ I very affectionately congratulate Mr. an
Mrs- on their happy marriage, and even
branch of the families allied by the connexion;
and I request my fair correspondent to present
me to her partner, and to say, that he has ob
tained on of the highest prizes in the wheel.
Besides the pleasure which your letters gives
me,to hear you are all well and happy, it relieves
roe from a sensation not easy to he dismissed;
and if you will excuse a few dull thoughts for
obtruding themselves in a congratulatory letter,
I will tell you what it s. When 1 see my fe
male friends drop off by matrimony, I am sensi
ble* of something, that afflicts me like a loss, in
spite of all app araneos of joy. 1 cannot help
mixing the sincere compliment of regret with that
of congratulation. It appears as if I had outlived
or lost a friend; it seems to me as if the origi
nal was no more, and that which she is changed ;
to, forsakes the circle, and forgets the scenes ol'l
former society. Felicities and cares supenoi j
to those she forre.eily cared for, create to her a
now landscape of life,that excluds thelittle friend- |
ships of the past. It is not every lady’s mind !
that is sufficiently capacious to prevent those j
greater objects crowding outthe less, or that can;
spare thought to former friendships,after she has:
given her ban ; an i heart to the man thatjoves her, !
But the sentiments your letter contains, have j
pr> vented tftese dull ideas from mixing with the j
congratulations I present you, and it, is so con
genial with the enlarged opinion I have always
so: med of you, that at the same time I read with
pleasure, l read it with pride, be< a use it convin
c s me 1 have some j idgment in that most diffi
cult science; a lady’s tnind. Most sincerely
do I wish you all the good that heaven can bless
you with, an as you have in your own family an
example of domestic happiness, you are already j
in the knowledge of obtaining it. That no’
condition we can enjoy is an exemption from *
care; that some shade will mingle itself with the
brightest sunshine of life; that even our affect
ions may become the instruments ot our sor
rows;that the sweet felicities of home depend on .
good temper as well as good sense; and that I
there is always sometmng to forgive even in our I
nearest and dearest friends, which though too
obv ous to be told, ought never to be forgotten,
and L know you will not esteem iny friendship
impressing them on you
Though l appear a sort of wanderer, the mar
ried state has not a sineercr friend than I am; it
is the harbour of human life, and it is with res
pect to the things of this world, what the next
world is to this, it is home, and this one word
conveys more than any other can express. For
a few years we may glide along the tide of youth
ful single life, and be wonderfully delighted; but
it is a tide that flows but on e, and what is still
worse, it ebbs faster than it flows, and leaves
many a hapless voyager aground. lam one,
you see, that have experienced the fate I am
describing. I have lost my tide; it passed by,
while every thought of my heart was on the
wing for the salvation of my dear America; and
I have now, as contentedly as I can, made my
self a little bower of willows on the shore, that
has the solitary resemblance of a house. Should
I ..lways continue the tenant of this bower, I
hope my female acquaintance will ever remem
ber that it contains not the churlish enemy of
their sex; not the cold insen-ible hearted mortal;
not the capricious tempered oddity, but one of
the best and most affectionate of their friends.
A thousand years hence, (for Imust indulge a
few thoughts,) perhaps in less, Ameri< a may be
what England now is! The innocence of her
character that wou the hearts of all nations in
her favour, may sound like a romance, and her
inimitable virtue, as if it had never been. The
ruins of that liberty wmch thousands bled for,
or suffered to obtain, may just furnish materials
for a village tale, or extoit a sigh from rustic
sensibility, while the fashionables of that day,
enveloped in dissipation, shall deride the prin
ciple aud denv the fact. When we contemplate
the fall of-Empires, and the extinction of the
nations of the ancient world, we see but liHle
elso to excite our regret, than the mouldering
ruins of pompous palaces, inagniticent monu
ments, and walls and towers of the most eo.-tly
workmanship. But when the empire of Am r
ica shaft fall, the subject for contemplative sor
row shall be infinitely greater than crumbli.ig
brass or marble can inspire. It will not then
be said, here stood a temple of vast antiqmy,
here rose a Babel of invisible height or there a
palace of sumptuous extravagance, hut hero !
ah ! painful thought! the noblest work of human
wisdom, the grandest scene ofhuman glory, toe
fair cause of freedom, rose and fell.
The odd Family. —ln the reign of William 111.
there ltvedin Ipswich, in Suffolk, a family which,
from the number of peculiarities belonging to i.,
wu= distinguished by the name of the Odd Fau*
ihj. Every event, whetiier good or bad, hap
pened to this family on an odd day of the month,
end every oue of them had something odd in
Ids or her person, manner, and behaviour : the
very letters in their Christian names always hap
pened to be an odd number. The husband’s
name was Peter, and the wife’s llahah; they
had seven children, all boys; viz. Solomon, Ro
£.er, Jame3, Matthew, Jonas, and Ezekiel.
The husband bud but one leg, his wife but one
arm. Solomon was born blind of the left eye,
and itoger lust his right eye by an accident;
Jam-s had his left car pulled ofl'by a boy in a
!irr<'!. find v&s born with onlv throe
fingcis on his right hand; Jonas had a stump
loot,and David was hump-backed; all these ex
cept David, w : ere remarkably short, while Eze
kiel was six feet two inches high at the ago ot
nineteen ; the stump footed Jonas and the hump
backed David got wives of fortune, but no girls
would listen to the addresses ot the n- t. Ihe
husband’s hair was as black as jet, and the “ ife s
remarkably white, yet every oncot the childrens
was red. The husband had the peculiar mi--
fortune of falling into a deep saw-pit, w here he
was starved to death in the year 1701, and his
wife refusing all kind of sustenance, died in five
da vs after him. In the year 1703 Fzekiel en
listed as a gr< nadier. anti although he was after
wards wounded in twenty three places, on the
same day, in 1713; and Solomon and Ezekiel
were drowned together in crossing the T hames
m the year 1723.

One of the few arguments as below stated, urged be
fore the people in favor of Ratification, is, that Georgia is
the only state which yields a constitutional recognition of
the Federal Basis, in her system of representation, and
therefore it should be abandoned. Georgia, (excepting
perhaps, Tennessee and is Ihe only state
that recognises the right and principle office and univer
sal sub'age. If negro property is representated, which
adds to of counties not imlivUlw's, it is also
(axed; and this tax, by which the income of the coun
ties is increased in proportion to the number of its
blacks, creates a fund, which but for this source of re
venue, must come directly from its free white citizens.
The present system therefore, so far from giving to the
licit more political influence than ihe poor,actually gives
to the poorman more influence as a citizen of the county, in
which such negroes are held, while it also gives him tile
benefit of the rich man’s tax u|K>n these same negroes.
IFe subjoin the following remarks from the Georma
Times of the sth instant:
“ It has been said, that the expenses of the Legislature
will he reduced, but, wcarc not told how the reduction
will operate to our benefit. True there may be individu
als who may profit by ihe ratification of the propose
amendment, hut the injury to the {date is incalculable.
Wcbave seen it advanceii as an uigument, that Georgia
is the only Southern State that has retained the Federal
Basis in the Const lulio.i. This is partly true. So Geor
gia is the only S’oulhcrn State where the tight of suffrage
is universal. Av'e may be mistaken, hut we believe it to
be.. ic only Stale in the Union where every free t oldie cit
izen is entitled to a voice in its domestic councils. Those
who have hitherto repudiated Ihe fedeiul basis, have sub
stituted initsplaci ,areprc: enlaiiou based on taxation and
foyvtm’iui. In such states, a citizen must own a certain
amount of property, before he is entitled to the right ol
su.Jiige. Ift.icn the peopleof Gcorgiaarc alive to their t
own interest, they must reject this olisprmg of corruption :
anrl pa y management, and stamp upon its miscreant I
front, die broad mark of their own indignant reprobation.
If they are awake to the inter* sis ol the whole South,they
will most surely refuse to be the dupes of party intrigue ,
and with Ihe desperation of Sampson, hurl down on t.icir
own heads the fabric, ulthough it may crush their enemies
in its fall.

Crime. The Penitentiary. —The party opposed
lo ns, once succeeded it making *he continu
ance of the Penitentiary system, to a very con
siderable extent, a party question.—“ ’ own with
the Penitentiary”! was the rallyiug cry; and
straitway the hobby was mounted; all the usual
means were put in requisition, and tickets were
issued from some of the printing offices, vve have
been told—they know which ; -am. industrious
ly dispersed, having on them, the above or some
such like catch words.
Well! the scheme took for the time; no doubt
netting a. handsome profit to the purpose tor
which it was intended; and the Penitentiary code
was actually repealed; leaving the State in u
condition that challenged the pity and symputhy
of every State in the Union. The people how
ever soon saw how they had been misled; and,
the eiror having done, its ofiice, there was no
further occasion for it; and so all chimed in lor
a reinstatement, retailers, leaders, editors and
all; —some ol these la-t apologizing aukardly
enough.—We are often asked how stood Mr.
Lumpkin on that occasion. Was he for or
against the Penitentiary ? We do not know.
We only know that he was heartily for it when
the tide had turned in its favor. He may have
been so previously.
Now that all is over, we may ask with some
allowable pride, which were in the right! Ex
perience has already answered. We all know
the fearful extent to which the crimes not pun
ishable in the Penitentiary—murder tor instance
—have lately increased in frequency. W hile
such as are thus punishable, are as signally di
minished in number. This we thing is nearly
as notorious as the Mher fact; but we have it al
so from gentlemen who attend the circuits.
FOR THE WESTERN HERALD.
TO THE VOTERS OF HALL COUNTY.
When a fatal blow is aimed at the pririledges
and liberties of freemen, it is the duty of every
centinel on the watch tower of libertv, to pro
claim “ what of the night;” to warn the people
of the impending danger.and to admonish them,
in terms fired with a holy zeal for liberty, how
to avert the danger of the stroke. It is to your
hands, Freemen of llall, a highly respectable
portion of the body politic,that these liberties are
committed, will you then in this enlightened
age, abusesyour stewardship,and deliver into the
hands ol your children, a government wor.-e
than that secured by the blood of your Fathers ?
Forbid it Heaven ! forbid it every manly, hon
orable aud republican feeling.
Under a solemn conviction that such a stroke
is now aimed; at your liberties, by the proposed
alteration to your Constitution; it is my purpose
to show you the gross inequality of this altera
tion, and thereby place in your bands weapons
for your defence, that you may be enabled to
avert the evil, or seal your destinies with open
eyes.
In the formation of the present constitution,!
the framers seem not to have looked forward to
the present populous state of the country; but
to have adopted it to the then situation of the
state; in doing which,they have imposed on vou
the present inequality of representation, and the
important duty ot amending the sacred instru
ment. To each of the counties (all ol which
were then very thinly inhabited,) they gave a
senator and representative ; hence when some of
the counties became much more densely popu
lated then others, their influence was no greater
in the senate, than a county having the smallest,
population, and they were very unequally repre
sented in the lower house.
Toremi dy this evil, and to reduce theexpenses
of legislation to the amount of taxes paid into !
the treasury; a convention has been called, for i
the purpose of amending the constitution so as 1
to produce equality ol representation throughout j
the state- They iiuv me , ‘no have laid before
you their acts for ratification or rejection. If they
have effected the object of their calling, they
have done nobly, and it will be your duty to rati
fy; but if on the contrary you should he convinced
that instead of relieving you from the evils of'j
which you complain, they have proposed a|
greater; it wjll be your duty, as you reverence
the deeds of your fathers—as you revere the
name ol liberty— and as you would perpetuate
vour own and your children’s dearo t rights and
priviledges, to endorse on your tickets no Rati
li-ation.
In order to reduce and equalize the senate,
thev have divided the state into senatorial dis
tricts; and have made of Hall and Jackson, one
district, having a population of 17,911 free whites;
and of Stewart and Sumpter counties, another
having a population of 1,371 free whites; thereby
placing 13 of the hardy, intelligent free white
citizens of Hall and Jackson, on an equality
with one man among the frog ponds ol Stewart
and Sumpter, and to place you on an equality
with the free whites of Stewart and Sumpter,
and you have in Hall and Jackson,the enoimuus
number of 16,540 free whites not represented in
the senate.
In the other branch their system is equally
objectionable; you freemen of Hall, are now
entitled to four Representatives, they propose lo
give you three. You have a population of 11,-
177 free whites, the county of Wayne has 667
free whites, and they have given her one; now
place yourselves on an equality with the citizens
of Wayne, and there w ill be 10,570 of you re
presented only by two members in the lower
house; whereas if you were placed on an equality
with the people of Wayne,you would be entitled
to 17 representatives instead of three. These
freeman of Hall,are only a few of the objections
to this infamous project for altering your con
stitution. Can you or will you suffer yourselves,
by endorsing on your tickets ratification,to sub
vert your liberties and prove recreant to the
principles of 76 ?
Instead of reducing the expenses of the I le
gislature to tue demand of the people, they have
only reduced it $2*4,000, and call aloud to the
poor man to ratify and he will save $20,000. In
reply to this I will add, that the poor man w ill
save four cents in his poll tax, and give up, per
haps forever, his liberties into the hands ot those
who will not estore them.’ For by this plan
you give the minority of the people the majority
of representation in the Legislature. For 62
counties having a population of 131,000 free
whites, have 75 members; while 27 counties
having 181,600 free whites, have 69 members
only.
But the advocates of the system very cun
ningly tell you to ratify this, and next year you
can have another Convention and reduce the
expenses more,and be more equally represented.
But do you not know that these 62 senate coun
ties, having 131,000 free whites, will send 75
members to the convention; while the 27 large
] counties, havimr 1 Hi,ooo free whites, (of which
Hall is one) can only send 69 members; then
you will at once see that by ratifying this plan,
i you place the power in the hands of the ininor
| ity, and that you can never relieve yourselves
:in convention or aDV how else. Another itn
j porlant objection in the proposed plan is, that it
! provides that the Legislature shall never exceed
144 members, and that, whenever it has arisen
to that number on the formation of anew county,
in order to give, the new county one member,
the county having the smallest white population
(hat then sends three, shall lose one ofitsie
; presenlatives, to give it to the new county.
Thus you see that instead of a prospect of ever
: securing the rights of the majority, evety feature
of the plan deprives them ot any possible hope
of relief.
W’ith these views Freeman of Hall, you cer
tainly cannot mistake your course, and you will
most assuredly go to the polls, and show to the
world that you yet love, Liberty and Equality,
by endorsiug on your tickets,
NO RATIFICATION.
From the Savannah Republican.
The attentive consideration of unprejudiced
men, is respectfully solicited to the investigation
of Maj. Crawford’s letter, bearing date, “July
23, 1833,” and addressed to James S. Calhoun.
If there lives an honest Politician in the State of
Georgia, who objects to the orthodoxy of his
political creed as is disclosed fearlessly, in this
letter, then, he must believe, that the immortal
Jefferson’s theory and political practice in rela
tion to the Federal Constitution, were but the
empty effusions of systematic hypocrisy, won
derfully designed, to entrap and mislead the un
wary, and not to enlighten the pure admirers of
.Constitutional liberty. Major Crawford alledg
es, “Where the Nullification of an Unconsli'a
tional Law, promises success and relief, I have
been in past instances, and shall again be as
decided an advocate for it, as Mr. Jefferson.”
The plain question, submitted to the people for
theii determination is, does these sentiments of I
Major Crawford, find strength and support, in
the finished writings of a man, whose accom
plished mind and great menial qualifications,
placed him when in lile, in the fiontrank of dis
tinguished politicians l Fellow-citizens of Chat
ham county, decide for yourselves. Mr. J.
is the acknowledged Author of the Kentucky
resolutions of 1798, which were produced in
consequence of the unconstitutional “Alien and
Sedition Laws.” Mr. Jefferson affirms the fol
lowing State Right piinciples, in which Major
Crawford concurs. “ That the Government cre
ated by the compact, was not made the exclusive
or final judge of the extent of the powers dele
gated to itself since that would have made its
discretion and not the Constitution the measure
of its powers-, but, that as in all other cases of
compact, among parties having no common judge,
each party has an equal right to judge for itself,
as well of infractions, as of the mode and meas
wreof redress.” Will Wilsonlaimpkin’s friends,
say, that Mr. Jefferson’s principles thus boldly
expressed, bieathes disunion, because he asserts
that “each party has an equal right to judge for
itself, &c.”—Again “that the several States,
who formed that instrument (the Federal Com
pact) being sovereign and independent, have
the unquestionable right to judge of its infraction,
and that a nullification by those sovereignties,
ol all unauthorized acts done under color of that
instrument, is the rightful remedy.” I would
here enquire, is it because Maj. Crawford, as
well as Mr. Jefferson, use the term Nullifica
tion, that either of them ever designed to oppose
the Federal Constitution, and the laws made in
‘'pursuance thereof.” Major Crawford is for the
Nullification of an Unconstitutional Late, upon
the declared, open and published principles of
Mr. Jefferson. Major Crawford is no disor—
ganizer, he is not as seems to have been circu
lated, one for rending the Union of these States
asunder, to make insecure tbo tenure of projter
ty, and by his principles give biith to
confusion and bloodshed,
“ The trivial turns, and borrowed wit,
The smiles that nothing fit,
Tlit cant which every tool repeats,
Town jests and Coffee house.conceits
Descriptions tedious, flat and dry, ’ ■ -
Are intro luc *d, the Lord knows why,”
Major Cra vford Iqys down the followim,
tides of his political faith.—“An act ofc
gress, incompatible with the Federal C otl J’ 1 ’
tion is no law, and cannot be enforced wiiS
sanctioning the usurpation of power.’*
can his enemies say against this. I,
a studdied concealment ot his senthnentß ? j
he deficient in independence 1 Is it triaiaiiJ!
“ The Supreme Court being itself part o fl
Federal Government, will in most or in all cal!
take sides with the Administration, and there!?
ought not to be relied on by the people.” *
Perhaps Mr Lumpkin, who ha3 spent®,no.
ny years of his life on the “ Indian B o ,i,
might favor his new friends with his chaste Mh,
on jurisdiction; he certainly “will inmost anil
cases take sides with” any party to subserve?
political interest. “ The States composing
confederacy, have not parted with their ( en fa
sovereignty, and the people of each have as pJ
feet a right, as they ever had, to resist anol
pressive measure of Government, provided £
measure is not authorized by the Constitution
and in that event they have an equal right, n
demand such an amendment of the Constitute.
as will secure their rights and interests.”—
concealment of principles here l The response
of a reasonable man, may be anticipated. Again
“The aggrieved people of any State have an
unlimited discretion in the choice and use ofali
means for the restoration of the violated right,
whether that violation proceed from an act oftht
State, Federal orb oreign Government.”lm*,
we shall not in future hear it said, that Major
Crawford has not “come out,” his letters dons
“go to the length,” he is not sufficiently “inde.
pendent.” For although Ido not, as one ofi*
advocates ofMaj. Crawford, desire to dictate!,
any citizen, yet I must entertain suspicion, uln
an open disclosure of his principles is saidtol*
unsatisfactory. Thus, fellow-citizens, is, wii
on unshaken confidence, presented for your ut
qualified approval, the sterling political princi
ples of Maj. Crawford, the Troup Republics
Candidate for Gevernor. Ate they not thus,
that form the code of the Troup party! Tk
Troup Banners are unfurled and proudly stream
ing—the friends of true constitutional freedoc,
are indissolubly united; and rising in the pore
and fulness of their strength, will sustain their
candidate. Who so weak as to attempt to sot
the seeds of sti ife in our columns 1 What hers
tieal dogmas can infuse themselves, like sobs
deleterious drug to palsy our recuperative ener
gies; I answer triumphantly no one. Okwiu
then is the word, and on the hallowed aliara
principles, sacrifice pique and private acino;;-
ties.
