L. A. ERWIN. Indian Springs, May 26,1831. J3-4t fry- The Georgia Journal, Macon Telegraph, Savannah Georgian, Augusta County, and Athe nian, at Athens, will publish the above four times, and forward their accounts to “ L. A. E.” Indian Springs, Geo. •Montpelier Spring* Jlouroc county, Georgia. ' jHIIE undersigned, after great labour and ex -1 pense, is at length enabled to offer this esta blishment to the notice of the public. In a climate like ours, where the enervating in iiuenreoftong and warm summers is experienced by all, inviting the operation of causes, tending to the production of autumnal diseases, it is an object of ik) triiliug import to the community to have recourse to a situation in which the assaults •ii disease may be prevented, its violence mitiga ted, and recovery rendered speedy and effectual. Such a place the undersigned honestly believes he is offering in the Montpelier Spring. Independent of the advantageous location of this establishment; situated in a region unques tionably healthy; the Medical qualities of the wa •er, are of a character entitling it to high claims upon the confidence of the community. The waters of Saratoga and Ballston have long since, rendered them places of extensive resort, Loth by invalids and persons of fashion. And the signal benefits derived from their use by persons labouring under Chronic Diseases (especially of the digestive organs) have obtained for them well merited celebrity—and from a pretty accurate nalysis, by gentlemen of competent science, comparing the result with the analysis of the Waters of Saratoga and liallston, as published by Dr. Mead, they find the waters of the Montpelie-, Spring,to possess, with a trifling exception the ’amechemicril qualities. Asa chalybeate contain ingmore Iron than theformer end less than the lat ter* with a large proportion of the muriates of so il and lime; the most striking difference being die absence of uncombined fixed air, with which ie Saratoga water abounds. Of the beneficial application of this water in disease, the proprietor m bear ample testimony. In chronic affections of the Liver, Spleen, and •Jieir concomitant functional derangement of the ' tomach ; he can confidently assert that he has pen no remedy of equal nature. In dyspepsia, ’ ! iat Hydra of modern times, it is an invaluable '■■medy, when aided as every remedy must be, by •’* temperate use of a well selected regimen. In biases of the skin, and particularly Tetter in all it. is a certain remedy.ln dropsies from ' isceral obstructions, chronic rheumatism, and owl relaxation and debility consequent upon a r ?I lence in low, unhealthy situations, its value p not easily estimated. Abundant testimony could ' produced to establish the truth of this state -1; nt, were it necessary; but an intelligent com munity will make the experiment and decide for mijisejves ; and with their award the proprietor • ill cheerfully rest the reputation of the Spring. The undersigned assures the public that he not thus recommend the use of the Mont : *’!ier water, but having been extensively engag l in t’ne practice of medicine in Georgia for noar thirty years,claims the right to judge of the remedy he recommends. "his fountain is situated in one of the most I' althy and best improved situations of Georgia, yventeen miles from Macon near the road leading ■ °in that place to Thomaston.

TO THE PUBLIC. Circumstances beyond my control have placed me under the necessity of presenting myself to your notice. I assert no claim to your attention, which does not belong equal ly to every free citizen of the Republic.— But I ask, and I feel that I have a right to expect, your candid consideration of this ad dress. Its subject is one of awakening in lercst to us all. The position in which 1 find myseif has nothinginviting in it. It is one which 1 have not sought, but which has been forced upon me, and one in which 1 am call ed upon to vindicate not myself merely, but the cause of truth and the best and dearest interests of the community, at a hazard to which fatuity alone could be insensible. The misrepresentations of a public journal, professing to speak the language of the Pres ident of the United States, and published under his eye, have presented to me, the al ternative, of submitting, to an imputation, alike dishonorable and unfounded in fact, or of meeting the issue which has been tender ed to me under the alledged authority of that high officer. If Ido not shrink from t his un equal strife, it is because I have a confidence which has never wavered, in the intelligence of my countrymen, a firm and unshaken reli ance in the justice of that tribunal, whose high prerogative it is at all times, and under all circumstances, to vindicate the cause of truth. 1 have studiously abstained from any effort to excite public feeling in relation to the dis solution of the late Cabinet. I have felt that the question of its propriety was one, the de cision of which belonged alone to the Amer ican People. Personally I have not been disposed to deny the right of the President to exercise his own free will, as well in the change, as in the original selection of his Cabinet; and with a perfect sense of the del icacy of my own situation, I would have been at all times, a reluctant witness in the inves tigation of the causes which led to the recent events. It was not however enough that 1 should submit myself to his will, although the principle by which it was avowedly regu lated,eould have no application to me; for this I have unhesitatingly done. But I have been required silently to witness the entire misrepresentation of occurrences which the public were well aware must have come un der my observation; nay, to be publicly vouched as authoriiy for that which was di rectly in conflict with my convictions of truth —and finally to be called to vindicate uiy own claim to veracity, assailed as it is under ihe alledged authority of the President of the United States, or to submit to an imputation which no honorable man may bear. I mis take the character of the American People, if they would require this. I am totally igno rant of roy own, if, under any circumstances, I could yield to it. If, in tbefaceof this great community, the cause of truth can be prostrated by the arm of power, at least the privilege of vindicating it, shall not be tamely surrendered in my person. I will bow to the decision of my countrymen—-but whatever that decision may be, the high consolation of having faithfully discharged my duty to them, and to myself, hall not be taken from me. The disingenuous and unmanly suggestion of my desire to remain in the Cabinet of Gen eral Jackson, notwithstanding the occurrences which produced my retirement, will be my apology for adverting briefly to the origin of iny connexion with it, and to the circumstan ces which induced its continuance. It was without any solicitation on my part, or, so far as I know or believe, on the part of any ofmy friends, that I was invited to ac cept the office of Attorney General of the United States. There were circumstances temporary in their nature, but still strongly operative, which rendered it not desirable to me. I felt, however, that I was called to de cide upon the question of my acceptance, not merely as an individual, but as a citizen, and especially as a citizen of Georgia. On cer tain principles of general policy, some of which were particularly Interesting to the people ot that State, the views communicated to me by the President, were in accordance with my own : and I felt it to be my duty, not to withhold any assistance which I could give to carry them into effect. The annunciation of the names of the intended Cabinet seemed to me, however, to present an insuperable bar to my acceptance of the office which was ten dered to me. I thought I foresaw clearly the evils which have too obviously resulted from this selection. A stranger to General Jack son, I could not with propriety discuss those objections with him. I knew, moreover that some of his confidential friends hail laitnfully discharged their duty to him, and to the coun try, by a frank communication of them. In this state of things, I sought the counsel of those around me. To a gentleman high in the confidence of the President, and to a dis tinguished citizen of my own State, I submit ted the inquiry, whether, with this view of the Cabinet which the President had selected, l could with propriety become a member of it. The former expressed his decided conviction, founded on a long and intimate knowledge of the President’s character, that he would himself speedily see, and correst the evil.— The latter urged the poculinr relations of Georgia with the General Government, as presenting a strong claim upon me not to re fuse the invitation which haiijbeen given to me. 1 yielded to these suggestions, and took my place in the Cabinet, with a firm determina tion to avoid the coutroveiies which I feared might occur. T# that determination I have steadily adhered. Associating on terms of courtesy with my colleagues, my official in tercourse with them was never interrupted by discord. If there were any combinations growing out ot the supposed conflict between the in terests of Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Van Buren, I had no part in them—and as little in the sup posed measures of that character, having for their object te coerce Major Eaton to retire from the Cabinet——or to exclude his family from the society of Washington. With mine they did not associate; but no advance had been made on either side, and their actual relation seemed therefore to furnish no just ground of offence to either party. In this posture of things, and shortly after I had giv en an evening party to which Mrs. Eaton had not been invited, I received and heard with infinite surprise the message of Col. Johnson. I could make no mistake as to its charac ter, for there was a direct and repeated refer ence to the large parties, which had been then recently given by Messrs. Branch and Ingham, and myself. Such a mistake, if it had been one, would have been instantly cor rected from the nature of my reply. If the complaint had been of a combination to evict Major Eaton from Office, and not to exclude his family from society, the reference to these evening parties would have been idle : and my declaration that I would not permit the President to control the local intercourse of myself and family would have been instantly met by an explanation, which would have re moved the impression from the minds of Messrs. Branch and Ingham, and myself.— Yet we all parted with Col. Johnson, with a clear conviction that such a proposition had been made, and feeling a3 we ali did, that an indignity had been offered to us, there was, as I believe, no difference of opinion between us as to the course we ought to pursue, if this proposition should be avowed and pressed by the President. This conversation took place on Wednes day evening, and the rumor of our intended removal speedily became general. On the succeeding day, the personal friends of Gen eral Jackson interposed, and he was awaken ed to a sense of the impropriety of his project ed course. It was then according to Col. Johnson’s statement to Mr. Ingham, that the paper spoken of by the Editor of the Globe was prepared. My two Colleagues bad their interview with the President on the succeed ing day, (Friday) and as Mr. Ingham’s state ment, made from full notes taken at the time, proves, no piper was shown to him on that oc casion. Owing to a mistake in the commu nication of the President’s wishes to me, I did not see him until the succeeding day, (Satur day,) and then the excitement of his feelings had so entirely subsided, that he seemed to me to be anxious to dispose of the subject as briefly as possible. He spoke of the false hood of the reports against Mrs. Eaton, of which he said he had sufficient proof; and upon my declining to discuss that question, he complained of the injustice of excluding her from society, referred to the large parties given by Messrs. Ingham and Branch, and myself, and told me if he could have been convinced that there was a combination be tween those gentlemen and myself to exclude her from society, that he would have required our resignations. He immediately added that he was entirely satisfied that there had been no such combination, and again referred to those large parties, and to the rumors to which they had given rise, os having produc ed that impression. So far from then sugges ting that information had been received from any member of Congress, when I claimed the right of having the names of aßy persons who had made to him representations unfavor able to my conduct, he still referred to the thousand rumors w hich had reached him as the origin of such impression which had been made upon his mind. Hoshowed me no pa per—-spoke to me of none—intimated to me no terms which he would hereafter require By his declaration that he did not intend to press the requisition which he had made through Col. Johnson, I considered tlie object of the interview to be to explain to me the motives under which he had acted, and to announce the change, of his dctermiiiation. He accom panied this with expressions of personal kind ness, which 1 thought were intended to soothe the feelings which he must have been consci ous of having excited. Still I thought it was improper for me longer to remain in the Cabinet. Admitting that sufficient atone ment had been made for the indignity offer ed by the message sent through Col. John son, there was a perpetual liability to the re currence of similar outrage. I believed it, thefore, tolxJmy duty to retire. My friends thought otherwise, and my own sense of what the interests of Georgia at that particular cris is required, induced me to repress my feel ings. When at a subsequent period, the contro versy occurred between the President and Vice President, I thought I saw ifl this, the evidence of an intention again to agitate the question, w hich by the agency of tiie personal friends of Gen. Jackson, had been before hap pily repressed. The connection of Mr. Crawford with this controversy,and.my own relation to Gen. Jackson, forbade me to take any part in it—and I studiously avoided oil interference, except to deprecate Mr. Cal houn’s publication. I Jeft Washington on the fourth day of April, one day after Major Eaton had announced to the President his determination to resign, according to the statement in his (Maj. Eaton’s) letter of re signation, jind not the slightest intimation was given to me of the intended chan- in the Cabinet. But when I saw the correspon dence between the President and the several Heads ot Departments, I could not doubt for a moment how, and by whom, the dissolution had been produced. I did m t feel at liberty to express my views until my re turn to W ashmgton should enable me to dis solve my connection with the President: but to a few friends who had the right to under hand my actual position, I stated the utter impossibility of my continuance in the Cabi net, unless the President could place the re. tirement of my colleagues on other grounds tnan those whicn 1 Oeircred to hare occasion ed it, and such as I could approve. In full view of the speedy dissolution of all connec tion between the President and mvself, I availed myself of the occasion offered by the kindness ofmy fellow-citizensof Savannah, to do an act of justice to his public conduct, or. a quesUon vitally interesting to the Deopfc of Georgia. If there be any man who is inca pable of understanding, or of appreciating the motive which prompted this act, I cannot en vy Lns feelings, and will not attempt to en lighten Ins understanding. I returned to tins city, had a conversation with the Presi dent, of which the prominent points are adver ted to in my letter of resignation which im mediately followed it, and having brought up tne public business, which was in arroar, re tired from office. While these occurrences were in progress, Major Eaton addressed to me a letter of liko import with his first communication to Mr. Ingham. He called upon me to sanction or disavow the statement in the T< legraph, that my family had refused to associate with his. I answered by detailing the conversation which had passed between myself and Col. Johnson, and stated that I had subseouently expressed the same views to the President, who had disci aimed any disposition to press this requisition, referring tq that which I bad previously stated to have been made through Colonel Johnson. The Editor of the Globa has published this detached sentence of my letter, and has made an impotent attempt ta distort its meaning. The public shall judga of the who e correspondence for themselves. I had no disposition to publish this corres pondence. Perfectly satisfied that it would at all times speak for itself, and net emu lous of reputation to be.acquired in such con troversies, I have resisted the numerous calls winch have been made upon me through Af ferent journals to give it to the public* 3 . But. the Editor of the Globe is in possession of it and by the publication of an isolated extract” attempts to dome injustice. I exercise, a tight, therefore, which belongs to me, when 1 take from him, this unfair means of annoy-- ante, by giving the whole to the public: Friday Night, 17th June, 1831. Mr : I have studied to disregard the abu sive slanders which have arisen through so de based a source as the U. S. Telegraph. I have been content to wait for the full deve lopement of what he had to say, and until per sons of responsible character should by brought forth to endorse his vile abuse of me" and of my family. In that paper of this eve ning is contained the following remark ofmy wife“R is proven that the Secretaries the Treasury and of the Navy, and of the At torney General, refused to associate with her.” This publication appears in a paper wliiclr professes to be friendly to you, and is brought forth under your immediate eye. Id. sire to know of you, whether pr not you sanction this statement; or disavow it. The relation we have sustained towards each other authorizes me to demand an immediate answer. Very respectfully, r ivr t J ’ H * EATON. Jno. M. Berrien, Esq. Washington, 18th June, 1831. Sip. : I received to-day your note of last night, in which you call my attention to an article in the U. S. Telegraph of the 17th inst. relating te your wife—and desiring to know whether I will sanction or dis&vow thd statement, you add, ‘‘the relation we have sustained towards each other, authorizes mo to demand an immediate answer.” To this inquiry preferred as a matter of right and presented in the form of a demand, my answer must be brief. It consists in tbo simple denial of the claim which you assert. I cannot recognize your right to interrogate me, concerning the statements of the Tele graph, or of any other public journal, which are made without my agency. You might with equal propriety select an article from any newspaper in the Union, for the purpose of putting ine to the question— and if the claim which you assert be well founded, I might be required at the instance of any per. son aggrieved to give my confession of feith, in relation to the various statements to ba found in any of tho journals, in which my name may chance to be mentioned. Such a demand, therefore, cannot be admitted for a moment. But although I cannot rccogniza your right, either as derived from the relation which we have sustained towards each other, c.r from any source, to make the demand pre sented by your note, lam not quite sure, looking to the portion in which we stand be fore the public, that 1 can acquit myself ta the community or to myself for declining to answer your inquiry. In the progress of those events which havo at length resulted in the dissolution of the*. Cabinet, ray determ-nation h.ls been not * do any act which was calculated to p r < vek • controversy, nor to deviate under whatever urgency from that line of conduct, which mv own sense of propriety prescribed.
