YANKEE COUlTMinr
After my sleigh-ride last winter, and the
slippery trick I was served by Patty Bean,
nobody would suspect me of hankering after
woman again in a hurry. To hear me curse
and swear, and rail out against tin* whole fem
inine gender, you would have taken it for
granted that I never should so much as look
at one of them again to all eternity. O! But
I was wicked—“darn and blast their eyes,”
says l>blamc their skins—torment and darn
their hearts, and darn them to damnation.”
Finally, I took an oath, and swore that ifever
I meddled, or had any dealings with them
again, (in the speaking line 1 mean) I wished
I might be hung and cloaked. f >
But swearing off from '"Woman, and then
going intc a meeting house, chock full ol
gals, all shining and glistening in their .Sun
day clothes, and clean faces—is like swearing
off from liquor and going into a grog-shop. —
It's all smoke ! 1 held out, and kept firm to
my oath, for three whole Sundays—forenoons
—afternoons and intermissions complete.—
On the fourth there wt re strong symptoms ot
a change of weather. A chap about my
size was seen on the way to the meeting
house, with anew patent hat on, his head
hung by the ears \>u a shirt collar, his cravat
had a pudding in it, and branched out in
front into a double bow-knot, lie carried a
straight back and Miff neck, as a man ough;
to, when lie has his best clothes on ;and eve
ry time he spit, lu: sprung his body forward
like a jack knife, in order to shoot clear of
his rufiles.
Squire .Tone's’ pew is next but two to mine; j
and when I stand up to prayers, and take my [
coat-tail under my arm, and turn my back to!
the minister, I naturally looked right straight i
at Sally Jones Now, Sally has got a face
not to be grinned at in a fog. Indeed, asre-j
gards beauty, some folks think she can pul!
and even yoke w itli Patty Bean. For my
part, I think there is not much'boot between
them. Any how, they are so nigh matched,
that they hated and despised each other, like
rank poison, ever since they were school
girls.
’Squire Jones hud got the evening fire on,
and set himself down to reading the great bi-
Mo, when he heard a tap at bis door: “walk,
in—well John, how d’ye do? get out Pom-'
pey”—“pretty well, I think ye, ’squire, and
how do you do ?—why so as to be crawlin—
ye ugly beast, will you hold ver yap—haul up
a chair and sit down. * * * How do you do,
Mrs. Jones V' “Oh, middlin, how’s ver mam
ma? Ikin’t forget the mat there, Mr. Bocdle.”
This put me in mind, that i had been off
soundings several times in the long muddy
June; and my boots were in a sweet pickle.
It was now old captain .Tone's turn, the
grandfather.—Being roused from a doze, by
the bustle and racket, he opened both his eyes
at first with wonder and astonishment; at last
he began to halloo so loud, that you might
Bear him a mile ; for he takes it for grant
ed that every body is just exactly as deaf as]
he is.
Who is it ? I say, who in the world is it ? j
Airs. Jones going close to his car, screamed J
out, ‘fits Johnny Beedle.” Ho, Johnny
Beedle. I remember he was one summer at
the siege of Boston” —“No, no, father, bless
your heart, that was his grandfather, that has
teen-dead and gone these twenty years.”—
“Ho, but where docs he come from ?” “Down
town.”—“Ho—and v hat does he follow for a
Hvin?” And he did not stop asking ques
tions, after this sort, till all the particulars of
the Boodle family w< rc published and pro
claimed in Mrs. Jones’ best schtecch. He!
then sunk back into his dose again. The!
dog stretched himself before one andiron;
and the eat squat down before the other. —'
fcilencc came on by degrees,like a calm snow
storin, till nothing was heard but acricket un
der th" hearth, keeping time with a sappG
yellow birch forestick. bally sat up, prim as;
if she weie pinned to the chair-hack; her
hands crossed genteely upon her lap, and
her eyes looking straight into the fire. M.inl
ine Jones tried to straighen herself, too, and
laid her hands across in her lap. But they
would not lav still. It was full twenty-four
hours, since they had done any work, and tlwv
were out of all patience with keeping Sun
day. Do w hut she w ould to keep them quiet,
they would bounce up, and then, and gr
through the motions, in spite of the tourtli
commandment. For my part, I -sat looking
very much like a fool. The more 1 tried to
say something the more my tongue stuck fast:
1 put my right leg over the left, and said
“hem !” then 1 changed, and put the It ft leg
over the right. It was no use—the silence
kept coming on thicker and thicker ; the
drops of sweat began to crawl all over me; I
got my eye upon my hat, hanging on a peg,
on the road tothe door;—'and at this moment
the did captain, all at once sung out “Johny
Beedle.” It sounded like a clap of thunder,
and I startedright up end.
“Johnny Beedle you’ll never handle sich n
drumstick as your father uid, if yer live to
the ageof Mcthusalee. lie would toss up his
drumstick, and while it was whirling in the
air, takeotfagifl-oi rum, nndthen ketch it
as it come down, without losin a stroke in
the; tune. What d'ye think of that, ha ? But
cull your chair round close alongside o’uie,
so yer can here—there—so. —Now what have
you come arter ?” “I-a-tcr ’ O, just takin a
walk, —pleasant weather, 1 guess—l mean
just to see how yc all do.” "-•Ilo, that’s an
other lie—you’re cornea courting; Johnny
ikedlc, you’re artet our Sal—say now do you
want to marry, or only to court'.'”
This was what 1 e-uil a choaker. Poor Sal- j
|y inaele tint one jutnp, and landcel in the
liiidd'ic of the kitchen ; and then she skulled
into a dark corner, till the oil man alter
laughing lumstlf iiito a whooping-cough, was
put to bed.
Then came apples and cider, and the ice
b mg broken, plenty of chat with mammy
Jon. s, altout the niiwister and the sarmon. —
) agreed with her to a nicety upon all the
p lints of doctrine; but 1 hud forgot the text,
and all to heads of discourse but six. Then
sue teased and tormented me to tell who I
accounted the best singer in the gallery that
ay. lut, iiunn—there was no getting that
u 1 1 <fTrie. “Praise to the face, is otten dis-
JJ^rafr 5 ’ sajs I throwing a sly squint at Sally.
A.i j.,. t Mrs. Jo- e* light, and t’oher candle, an
J after charging Sally to look well to the fire,
j she led the way to bed, and the squire gath
j rred up ills shoes and stocking, a:id fui
j lowed.
Sally and I were left sitting a good yard
j apart, honest measure. For fear of getting
1 tongue-tied again, 1 set right iti with a steady
streamof talk. I told her all the particulars
about the weather that was past, and also
made some pretty ’cute guesses, and what it
was like to be in future ; at first I gave a hitch
up with my chair, at every full stop —then
growing saucy, I repeated it at every comma
and semi-colon, at last it was hitch, bitch,
and I planted myself bv the side of her.
“I swow, Sally, you looked so plagued
lisndsome to-day, that I wanted to cut you
up.” “Pshaw git along you”—says she. My
band had crept along somehow upon its fin
gers, arid began to scrape acquaintance with
hers ; she sent it home again with a dc?p> r
atc jerk. Try it again —no better luck; “why
Miss Jones, you’re getting opstropelous, a
little old inaidish I guess.” Hands off is fair
play Mr. Beedle.” It is a good sign to find
a girl sulky. 1 knew where the shoe pinch
ed ; it was that are Patty Bean business; so l
went tc work to persuade her that 1 never
had any notion after Patty, and to prove it I
fell to running her down at a great rate.—
Sally could not help chiming in with me,
and I rather guess Miss Patty suffered a few.
I now not only got hold of her hand with
out apposition, but managed to slip an arm
murid her waist. But there was no satisfy
ing me ; so I most go to poking out my lips
after a buss—l guess I rued it—she fetched
me a slap on the face that made me see stars,
and my ears rung like a brass kettle for u
j quarter of an hour. I was forced to laugh at
I the joke, though out of the wrong side of my
| mouth, which gave my lace something the
j look of a gridiron.
The battle now began the regular way.—
“ O ! Sally give me a kiss and he donq with
it now.” “I won’t, so there let me alone.”
“I’ll take it whether or no.” “Do if you
dare.” And at it I went, rough and tumble;
an odd destruction ofstarch now commenced;
the bow of my cravat was squat up in half a
shake ; at the next but, smash went shirt
collar, and at the same time some of the head
fastenings gave way, and down came Sally’s
hair in a flood like a mill darn broke loose,
carrying away half a dozen combs—one dig
ot Sally’s elbow, and my blooming ruffles
united down to a dish cloth. But she had
no time to boast—soon her neck tackling be
gan to shiver, it parted at the throat, whoruli,
came a w hole school of blue and w hite heads,
scampering and running races every way n
hout the floor. By the hokey, it Sally Jones
isn’t real grit, there is no snakes. She fought
fair, however, I must own, and neither tried
to bite or scratch—and when she could fight
no longer, for want of breath, she yielded
handsomely. Her arms fell down by her side,
her head back over her chair, her eyes closed,
and there lay her little plump mouth, all in
the air. Lotd! Did you ever see a hawk
j pounce upon a young robin—a bumble bee
I upon a clover top ?—1 say nothing. Consarn
jit, Mrs. Jones was about halfway between
| asleep anil awake. “There goes tnv great
yeast bottle,” said she to herself, “burst into
twenty thousand pieces, and my bread is all
dough again.”
The upshot of the matter I fell in love with
Sally Jones, head over ears. Every Sunday
night, rain orslnne, finds me rapping at squire
Jones’door, and twenty times have I been
within a hair’s breadth of popping the ques
tion. But now I have made a final resolve,
and if I live until the next Sunday night, and
j if I don’t get choaked in the trial, Sully Jones
j will hear thunder.— John Neal.

London to the 12 th July.
Avery dangerous conspiracy had been
discovered among some Polish ollicers
and the numerous Russian prisoners in
Warsaw, in time to prevent any ill ef
fects.
From the London Morn. Citron. July 12.
The intelligence from Warsaw,brought
yesterday from Hamburg, is interesting.
Gen. Hurrig. Gen. Santocki. Col. Stu
peeal, the Russian Chamberlain Fau
shawe. M. Lessel and Madame Bazzn
non, a Russian lady are arrested, charg
ed with a eon piracy to arm the Russian
prisoners, to make a diversion, and per
haps, to deliver Warsaw in to the hands
of the enemy, in case of an attack. The
escape of Rudiger is attributed to the
treachery of Janowski, who is implica
ted in the above conspiracy. Gen. iiur
rig was in a regular correspondence
with a Russi nt Colonel, Brendt, residing
at Lemberg, in Gallieia, and one in Iniz
dc formerly an officer in the Polish
army, was agent between them.
Three millions of florins were discov
ered at tke house of Lessel ; and it would
appear from papers found in the posses
sion of the conspirators, that at Ortro
lcnska the Russians were in possession
of the whole, of Skzrynecki’s plan. The
plot if not detected, might have produc
ed the most disastrous results to the
Poles. One part of it was to arm the
Russian prisoners from the arsenal, to
destroy the bridge of Praga. and thus
cut off the troops stationed there from the
relief of the Capital, while the Russians
were to cross tlie Vistula at Pluck or
Dobizga. and enter V arsaw, in the ab
sence of the troops.

The last accounts from Poland are da
ted Warsaw. June 30, and are almost
[entirely confuted to giving the details of
| an extensive and formidable conspiracy
‘against the National Governments which
has just been discovered, and involving!
[several persons in the army, aml.sony; of
! the principal branches of the administra

who was to be assisted by paralysing the
j strength of their antagonists, liy casing
disunion between the civil and military
authorities, exciting jealousy among the
i chiefs of the army, and finally by raising
a spirit of distrust among citizens, and
especially those of the capital, prejudicial
to the acts or intentions of the govern
ment.
The last Warsaw Gazette contains an
official report of the 20th. stating the de-;
tails of a sally made by the Polish garri
[ son of Modin. and executed with so nuich
| success that the enemy was obliged to
take to flight, with a loss of 500 men.
j The following article is copied from
the Gazette de Posen, dated -24th June :
•* We learn from private communications j
that the town of Wrozlawek and several;
villages have fallen a prey to the Haines;
since the passing the \ istula as far as
Thorn. 'Flic head quarters of General
lissimo Skryma ki, who was about marcli
i ing to meet the Russians, were fixed at
1 Sochaczew.
I The trial of .Mr. Cobbeft —The trial of
Cob licit for alledgeil seditious publica
tions lias terminated. The Jury could j
not agree upon a verdict. This being an- j
uoum ed to the Judge on Thursday eve
ning (July 7tli) his lordship seat word j
back ‘"that they must agree;” and theju- j
ry were again confined to their chamber, i
and they remained in deliberation until,
nine on Friday morning. laird Tent~r- j
don then came into court.and stated that
lie had received a note from the Jury,
and as it appeared that there was no like
lihood of their coming to i decision, lie
would take upon himself to discharge
them. Mr. Cobbeft states in his Regis
ter of Saturday. that **at ten minutes al
ter nine yesterday morning, the judge!
having arrived, the jury came up. and
announced that they could not agree ;
that there were 6 for 6 against acquittal t
and upon this ! is lordship discharged
them, which amounts to an acquittal.” j
Death, of the Grand Duke Constantine. \
—lt appears that the Grand Duke Con
stantine. (late vice K ing of is
! dead. 'Fhe following is the only para- [
[ graph which we have yet seen upon the j
[ subject. We infer that he died of Chole- j
ra. The suggestion of self-murder is
hardly probable :
Letters from Hamburg attribute the
death of the Grand Duke Constantine to
[ the cord rather than the cholera. It is
j remarkable that two of the prime perse
cutors of the Poles, should lie thus pre
i maturely cut off. in these times of phil
osophy and infidelity, it would he consi
dered superstitious even to hint at the
agency of retributive Providence.
Some of tin: Hamburg letters represent
the Russian army as in a state of demo
ralization. They compare it to that ot
Napoleon, alter the burning of Moscow.
It is said, in short, to be totally devoid
of any thing like organization. If this
news be true, the Berlin papers are do
ing 11101*0 for the Russians than the Rus
sians arc doing for themselves.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Rv tlie ship Surah and Curoisne, arrived
j yesterdav morning from Nantz, we have been j
[ favored with tiles ol the papers ot that city, J
land of Paris, to tho 12th July inclusive —j
I some two or three days later than our French j
dates by the way of England. The S. C.
left the river on the 26th July, hut brings no|
papers later than tiie 12th. Captain P. was
on shore on Sunday, the 24th, for the purpose
of obtaining newspapers but was disappoint-}
ed, owing to the absence from town of the j
agent who was to have supplied him.
The Polish accounts, both in the English'
and French papers, are of a contradictory
character. We learn from Capt. Prince, that j
[ there was a rumor of a General Hattie between
the Poles and the Russians, current at Nantz!
la day or two before lie sailed, in which tlicj
Polish troops were represented to have been
| completely victorious.
i A letter from Brest, datcd*Bth July, an
nounces the arrival there of the corvette Dil
igence, from the Tagus, which vessel had cap
tured, on the loth June, a Portuguese ship
of from 900 to 1000 tons, w hich was said to
have on board 5,000,000 francs in specie,
and a cargo valued at 1,000,000 more. #
The latest accounts from Lithunia, repre
sent the insurrection in that province to be j
in full success—the insurgents were fighting!
with exemplary bravery, and were receiving!
reinforcements from all quarters. Gen. Giel
uni was said to be w ithin 5 miles of Wilna,
and Gen. Chiapowski, within 2 miles of the
same place, which was invested by 30,! J in
surgents, whilst there were spread over the
country at least 90,000, under arms.
The Mcssager des Chumbrcs of 12th July,
furnishes the following speculations upon the
elections:
A great political transaction has distin
guished the week that has just ended. Franco
was called upon to decide, which host com
prised her hopes and her w ishes, a goyern
i ment which assured to her an extendi and liber
ty, complete, but supported by order based on
i the lessons of experience, or, the government
! of a party to which we art* disposed to award
i good intentions, but which, forgetful of the
past, too indifferent of the future, would have
willingly overthrown entirely the* social edi
fice, without even having a plan formed for
its re-construction.
“The result has been such as was looked
for by all good citizens, such as was expect
ed even by the part, which endeavored to op
erate against the National voice. Among the
honorable men whose nominations are known
to day, two thirds or less, are not ministeri
ah, but partizans of the system adopted by
the minister, (that term ministerials ought in
fact to he erased from our parliamentary dic
tionary. )Thc point at w hich the Reprc sc illa
tive Government has arrived, at this day, is
such, that men are of little consequc nee—
-I’Rixcn‘LES arc all. A fortuitous circum
stance, anew political combination, might
remove the existing Ministers—they would
retire enjoying the esteem and respect of the
public, but their system would remain after
them, their successors would adopt it, and
find the same support from t:.e majority ot
the Chamber, not because that majority would
be ministerial, but because it would be pa
triotic, and more patriotic doubtless than the
minority, who pretend to be so to the exclu
sion of all others, and wlio appear to have an
attachment for the country similiar to that of
some parents for their children, whose max
im is they who lore most punish most.
“Speculators and capitalists, who, in the
pursuit of theii interests or from necessity,
are in the habit of reflecting on and discus
sing political events, in all their changes,
have readily perceived the influence which the
result of the elections ought to have on the
public funds. Increased confidence in the
national credit, more power in the hands of
Government, additional confidence on the
part of other nations—such are the first fruits
which the country will owe to the wisdom and
intelligence of the electors.”
If’drsoip, June fit).—We have at least offi
cial news from Lithuniaof the 18th inst At
that time it was considered, that there were
90,900 insurgents under arms, of which
30,000 Poles surrounded the town of Wilna—
this capital was defended by 10,000 Russians,
under the orders of Generals Frickex and
Tolstoi. They would have been reduced be
fore this, but from the fear of setting the
town on fire. It is hoped that they will sur
render by capitulation.

Copy of a letter from Wilson Lvmpkin, Esq.
to Governor Clark.
Woodland, (near Madison) March 31, IS2I.
Srn:—Yesterday evening 1 had the hon
or to receive your communication of the
21st inst. I also received by the same mail a
commission, and instructions from the Presi
dent of the United States, authorizing me to
run out the line of the lute treaty, front the j
head of Flint river, to the Ciiattahoochie ri-{
ver, and to lay oil' the reservations made to]
the Creek Indians, in the manner specified in]
the treaty. I shall with as little delay as!
practicable, proceed to the performance of
the duties of my appointment: and entertain
but little doubt of the accomplishment of the
treaty line before the meeting of the Legisla
ture, on the 30th of next month. It not on-f
ly meets my approbation, but will afford me i
peculiar satisfaction to be accompanied by a!
state commissioner, especially if that com-j
mission* r should be either of the gentlemen 1
who attended at the making of the treaty— j
the presence of one of those gentlemen is!
rendered more desirable on account of the '•
difficulties suggested in your letter in rela-;
tien to the treaty line.
1 hope you will not delay in making an !
early communication to me of the appoint-)
merit you may make, as I may be enabled to !
give due notice to the person appointed, of]
the time and place of meeting, to run out
the line.
According to my construction of the con
i stitution of Georgia,! do not feel myself au
thorized to retain my scat as a member of the
Legislature, and liold the oppointment of the
] United States’ commissioner at the same
] time—(a practice in similar cases to the con
i trary no withstanding.) Read the eleventh
] section of tiie first article of the Constitu
j tion.
| Anticipating censure from some of my
fellow citizens, for the course which I am
about to pursue—permit me to offer the apol
ogy which is satisfactory to my own feelings
ou the subject, to wit: If I was to decline
tire appointment of commissioner, a second
appointment could net be made, and the
treaty line run previous to the meeting of
the legislature, which might prove to be a
greater injury to the state, than would lie re
munerated by any service which I could ren
der the people as a member of the legisla
ture. For, Sir, to be candid, so far as l am
acquainted with public opinion in regard to
the distribution which should be made of the
| late acquired territory—to obey the voice of
the majority, the legislature will have but lit
] tie to do, except it is to copy the last land lot
i tcry law, and perforin tire usual formalities in
legislation; and any individual who can
write, can perform this business as well as
another.
I feel myself under great and peculiar ob
ligations to my follow citizens generally,
and especially to those of the immediate vi
cinities or neighborhoods where I have resi
ded, foi the uniform kindness, confidence
and support, which they have manifested,
reposed,and exercised toward me from time to
i time. In making a disposition of the late
! acquired territory, as a member of the legis
j latere, 1 should feel myself under obliga
tions paramount m every other consideration,
to set apart and supply a sufficient portion of
the lands, or raise funds therefrom, by lav
ing a higher price upon the grants of the for
tunate drawers of good lands; adequate to
th. establishment of a permanent fund for
; the mutual benefit of the whole people of
Georgia, with a view to carry into effect the
great and important objects of Inti mill Im
provement and Tree School;; —embracing in
one object the improvement of river naviga
tion, the constructing ofcanals, and making
good and permanent great market roads. In
the other, affording an opportunity of educa
tion to the poorer classes of our citizens, am
algamating in the same schools the poor and
the rich; and thereby banish from our coun
] try those distinctions which will at some fu
ture day arise from (he advantages of wealth
and learning, if limited to the grasp of t/u
rich alone. Monopoly, in every thing is al
war, or at variance with the principles of free
government; and l consider monopoly in sci
ence, or knowledge, more dangerous to re
publican institutions, than all others united.
A few wise men can deceive and govern a
great many ignorant ones.
A people to know and maintain their rights
and liberties must possess intelligence—to
be intelligent, they must be educated, to be
educated they must have schools—to have
schools the must have money, and when they
have got money, why not apply it in the best
possible way to effect these first objects of in
terest to a rising state? The effectuating of
these objects would perpetuate and secure to
the people of Georgia lasting blessings. And
a more auspicious moment than the present,
will never again occur, to promote the inter
est, convenience and comfort of our fellow
citizens generally. Notwithstanding my
confidence in the correctness of the course
which I have suggested, I incline to the o
pinion, (as before intimatcd)that it would not
meet t.,e approbation of a majority of my fel
low-citizens—and therefore, by resigning in
to their hands the powers delegated, they
cannot in justice censure me for an honest
idiffeienceof opinion, while they are left to
exercise their right of suffrage on the sub-
C C 5
ject.
Permit me in tendering my resignation, to
assure you that I am not influenced to this
step, from a want of public feeling, or solici
tude forthe welfare of the state: for I really
decline a service, which would in every re
spect be peculiarly agreeable and pleasing—
if I conceived ihat I could discharge it to the
satisfaction of the people, and at the same
time to the approbation of iny own consci
ence.
I have to request that you will authorize
and direct an ejection tofiil my vacancy with
as little delay as possible, that the county of
Morgan may not be wanting in its foil share
of representation.
I have the honor to bo with
respect, vourobt. sent.

FOR GOVERNOR,
George 11. Gilmer -
TO COURESPSniSXTB.
“Fiat Jcstitia,” has been received, and is
entirely unobjectionable; yet,the object of oiircor
rUspondent, is anticipated, by the publication of
the Rev. Mr. Howard, to which is attached the
letter ofblis Excellency Governor Gilmer, in re
:-b r -
To the People ol’ Georgia.
We earnestly solicit your attention to the com
munication of our durriffponiHuit “ Uncontrolled
Suffrage .” Read it, and ponder it well, w e be
seech you. It is no appeal to your passions, or to
your party. It relates exclusively to your inter
ests, as a free people, and presents to you a mass
of documental tacts, that bids defiance to contra
diction. These facts will show you the honest
and magnanimous course pursued by GILMER,
iu relation to his recommendation of Reserves, in
which he yielded his opinion to the wishes of the
people, and by so doing, proved, beyond the pos
sibility of a doubt, his patriotic devotion to their
interests. But this is not all: it presents you like
wise PEOPLE OF GEOUGI.V, with a
vivid picture of the political sinuosities of Lump
kin, and shows, by reference to official records, his
untiring assiduity to impose upon you a system of
taxon-in, unexampled in the history of free govern
ments —a system of taxation, which, if it had been
carried into effect, would have occasioned a de
duction of tiventj—iivp per cent, upon every
pound of your cotton and every bushel of your
corn—a system of taxation which would have a
mounted to a Tariff of exclusion, and made you as
much the slaves of the state, as are the peasantry
of Ireland to the lordly fanners ol that distrac
ted and oppressed country.
If you then, have any regard for your pecuniary
interests, as men —any regard for your immunities
as freemen —or any regard for the uncontrolled
exercise of your suffrage, as patriots—read, we

of- Ned Bucket.
From the following address to the citizens of
[ the United State we [do not] regret to learn of the
| decline and fall of our OLD acquaintance,
“Ned.” The Cucai/hes Scrrihe/idi has departed
I from him, and the public will no longer be sur
feited with his wit, humour and perplexing mis
chief. The President as well as the humble cit,
and more intermediate personages, have long been
honored, amused and tormented with the correspond
ence nf the renowned Ned Bucket:
“NED” has had many imitators—seme of
whom have led him into ugly scrapes. One of
the pretenders to “ Buckeiism ,” lately called
down upon him the indignation of an eminent
Astronomer who threatened to eclipse Ned’s op
tics by a digital application. Pour Ned! bang
ling imitators have made him feel, that
“lie who cannot write, yet handles pens,
Is ant to hurt hiinseifaud friends,
Tho’ others use them well, yet fools,
Should never meddle w ith edg’d tools.”
“Ard” has displayed a great deal of philoso
phy in relinquishing his attachment tt the epis/o
dary mania. If some of our great men would take
an example from his conduct —such, for instance,
as Mess'rs. Ingham, Branch and LUMPKIN—
it would not only ho highly creditable to them hut
il would also save their friends a great deal of
trouble in endeavoring to make them appear in
j characters that don’t unit them. Farewell, Ned!

The correspondence between Governor .
and the Rev. Mr. Howard, we this evenin* j !
before our readers. Were it not for the “hi! !,[.
cry” which has been raised against bis Excel!,.-
cy, the explanation which he has given won',
have been deemed unnecessary. To countu-ai
however, the mischievous tendency of the Uu j OU] ’
ded reports of his adversaries, be has, likea'rv
patriot justified his conduct to those who are not
acquainted with the law of the State. Like a vih
laiit sentinel on the watch tower of freedom, 1,
also stands ready to enforce a constitutional obe
dience to that law, no matter how high the stand
ing, or how factitiously sacred may be the influ
ence Which would attempt to thwart its operation.
The solicitude displayed by the Rev. Mr. How
ard, to sustain and preserve the purity of his
church, is in full accordance with the sacred and
tenacious regard which ire has always evidenced
for the uncorrupted administration of its plain,its
unassuming, yet dignified tenets. The chi.
zens of Georgia owe him thanks for the exposi
tion he has elicited —because ft not.only silkin'-;
our chief magistrate against the slanderous impu
tations which have been cast upon hiißjfcntatthc
same time pourtrays in no creditable colors, the
unlawful ai.d fanatical opposition which he lias
had to encounter through the intolerant zeal of a.
few misguided bigots.
Let it be distinctly borne in mind, that the pe
culiar relation in which Georgia stands tot!
Cherokee Indians, rendered it necessary for tfo
preservation of her own sovereign rights and tic
individual interests of her people that she slioei
extend over the Cherokees her municipal jur.--
diction. This she has done-and in doiujso,
she has not only fulfilled a duly w hich sheow>>
herself, hut has promply met the wishes of tte
general government in relation to thus long agita
ted question.
The motives of the Reverend gentlemen \vh>
challenged the right of our state to pass and o
force a law thus sanctioned by every legitimate
authority known to the constitution, may net only
well he questioned; but deserves in our estima
tion the most unqualified reprehension. Titcy
were advised of the existence of the law by he .
Governor, and affectionately admonished not t
violate it. Instead of receiving the aduionitioa
in the f, • idly and Christian like spirit which dic
tated it, they spurned its righteous iinposition.-
Now, let us not he uncharitable in our conci
sions. Il those Missionaries were religions!;
devoted to the holy cause w hich they affected W
espouse, permit us to ask, would they have hesi
tated to yield obedience to the laws of the land
As Christians w o think they* could not —as Pat*
riots we know they should not; because the a"
of Georgia exacted from them no other obedi
ence, than such as w as imperative upon them
American citizens generally. The law did n
prohibit them from discharging their clerict
duties to the duped and benighted Indian; bu.
on the contrary it said to them, in the voice <
our Governor — “Such is the law of our state- !
docs not interfere with your privihges —obey t<—
and may God spi ed you in your holy mission.
But u font was tlie answer of the culprit Misdw -
aries? “We cannot, Sir, recognize your autliori'.’-
It is true you have told us, that the State has made
a law for the government of its owndoma®" 4
law too, which lias been sanctioned by the P® SI
den t and by the Congress of the United States-**
But, we heed it not, and are willing to hazan
its opposition, and to abide the penalty. ’
This unwarrantable and unprecedented hoffo
ty to a law, which had been conceded by f er )
authority kno-wn to the Constitution, wasiiJubi
table evidence that the Missionaries alluded to.
w ere actuated more by a desire to oppose,f*®
colly, the sovereign rights of Georgia, as*‘ s ’ latP
than to promote, religiously, the moral conditio l1 ®
the Cherokees, as a people —because, as writs*
already intimated, the law did not infringe up
either the civil, political, or religious ho* 18
the Missionaries; hut, on the contrary, " aS
ling to support them in the full and unrestrfote
exercise of each of those privileges. I ao’er sue
circumstances, it is evident, that the policy °‘
Missionaries, in treating with contempt the I'?
obligations, imposed equally alike upon others
upon themselves, was more with a vie"’ to tjt
stall the operation of our laws than with any
tention to do good to the Indians, in *“ e "
Christianity or civilization. For, Lad the
sionaries been actuated by feelings ot cliristK* 8
they would not have rebelled against the L" 1
the countiy, which they were bqtind tosifoP*
not only as citizens hut as professors of re
inasmuch as their church imposes such *” ,u
ti n upon them by the most soltma cfobij*
—and neither would they have i|illuenced l, |
rokecs to oppose the laws, had they beva 10 ‘
ly desirous of promoting their Safety, * ia PL' ,
or civilization. The Missionaries have
their own acts, not only forfeited their rl £'
American citizens, hut also thejr iiainan 1*
ministers of tho holy God,
These facts prove, without the neecM' 1 ) ®
thcr demonstration, that Ute cppos>fi° n 01
fending Missionaries, was more the re..u *
tied hostility to the constitution#! l ir °' * 1
