{^LLLOW -CITIZENS—Some months since
my name was announced in the public Jour
| nals of this place, as a candidate to represent you
! in the representative branch of the next l.egisla
, ture ot this state. Since that time there have
, been many important changes in tiie mercantile
world, affecting almost all engaged in trade ;
j that 1 seould have escaped the troubles of others,
j engaged in the like pursuit, was not to have beeu
j expected. Those changes, which are familiar to
you all, have caused much time to be spent by
those who are able to sustain themselves in mak
ing the necessary arrangements for the approach
ing business season. Sly ow n business has ta
ken much more of my lime than I anticipated in
; the early part of the season ; it has also been one
j whieh called me from the county, and even from
I the state ; that this circumstance has prevented
>me from commingling w ith my friends and ac-
I quaititauces, and keeping up as well as increas-
I ingthat social and friendly iceling, which is the
result of frequent intercourse, is a fact that I am
aware of; that I have also been denied the privi
lege of rebutting unjust and ungenerous accusa
tions, is a fact known to yourselves; to have cal
culated on having justice dene by enemies and
designing men, would have required a mind more
credulous than my own ; that much has been said
tending to impress the mind with the belief that
nature ourself had been sparing in her bounties to
; me, you have only to turu to the public journals
of tiie day—to prove this, however, is a matter
tf but little importance, fi r notwithstanding 1
possess as large a stock iff vanity as ought to fall
to the share of any man, 1 have never been so lost
| to common sense, as to believe that I was able to
throw in the shade men who have distinguished
themselves as jurists and statesmen; but there is
one accusation whieh 1 am anxious should be re
pelh I—one in w hich my x putation as an honora
ble man is assailed ; I mean the statement made
by Mr. Ivtoce, •' that I was used as a mere eaadi-
I date to keep off candidates fur his, Groce’s bene
fit, and 1 would decline being a candidate just be
fore the election.” 1 here state, and challenge
the world to produce evidence to the contrary,
! that I never did, either directly or indirectly, ci
j ther b\ myself or through any friend, give Mr
; Gn cc to understand that 1 would, or had any in
jteii'riuß of declining, and had I have had such an
■ idea, it would never have been based upon such
principles. I have only to ask of nty friends such
support as my general character for capacity and
integrity, may, in their estimation, entitle me to.

i Fan apology sliou.d be dettiiml necessary
M_ for this appeal to yon, it will be found
i not onlv in the fact, that divers false and il
: litrrra! charges haYc been privately and in
dustriously circulated in this county, having
; in view the defeat of my election, and cal
culated, if uneoiifr.Kiiclcd to detract from that
! standing and character, w hich l w ish ever
jto maintain in the estimation of my l-cllow
1 Citizens. Rut l have been in a more public
| and definite manner, called upon by a com
munication in the Democrat of the 10th inst.
loverthe signature of “A Citizen,” to respond
: to certain charges, in tiie shape of interroga
j lories, there propounded tome,
j The responsibility of public .agents, is a'
i part of my political creed, I therefore fecog
j nise t.ie right of my constituents, to demand
jof me, the reasons and motives that may
have influenced me, in any or all of iny offi.
; cial acts.
j In the first place, then ;I am charged by
|“A Citizen,” with voting in favor of a law,
j allowing Indians to testify in our Courts of
. Judicature.
This charge, In* reference to proceedings,
| which took place iii the Legislature, year be-
I fore last : during that session, a law Was pass
! ed, adding that part of the Cliorokec Terri
j tory within our Chartered, limits, to the ad-
I joining counties ; aud extending tiie laws of
I Georgia over the same; and among other
enactments, providing for the punishment of
| the Indians for certain ollehccs therein nicn
! tioned : At the conclusion of that law, was
this section, upon which, I grave the excep
tionable vote. “And be it further enacted
Iby the authority afort said : That no Indian
! or diseendant of an Indian, shall be acompt
i tant witness in any court of this state ; until
j the Judge or justice presiding, shall be ful
ly satisfied that the said w itness has a due
and proper sense of the obligation of our

“A Citizen,” charges me with giving as a
; reason for this vote, that the leading men of
;my party voted in favor of it; which, I utter
: iy deny.
As will be seen, the vote on this motion,
Was not a.party vote ; the leading members of
both parties sustaining, this section. What is
the relative proportion of the Clark and
Troup parties on this vote, I am not able, at j
litis time, to say. This much, however, 1 j
know, which had a considerable influence iii j
determining my vote ; that of the thirteen j
members, representing the seven counties, 1
bordering on the Cherokee Territory, and to
whose jurisdiction, that country was attach- j
ed ; eleven of the thirteen, including the
j oldest and most influential membefst v vcre
! warm and zca'ous advocates of this Section ;
among whom, were Bates, Cleveland, & Wof
ford ; unquestionably at that time the lead-'
ers of the Clark party. And of the sixteen
Representatives, from the counties of Coweta,
Elbert, Fayette, Franklin, Jackson, Madison,
Wilkes, and Troup :—Counties in the vicini
ty of the Cherokee Nation ; fifteen out of the
j sixteen members, voted the same way; a
large majority of whom were Chirk men ;
however this maybe; whether they were
TiouporClatk men is not material. But, i
for myself, confiding in the honesty and in
tegrity of those me in be h> ; Whose proximity j
to the Cherokee Nation, entitled their judg- j
incut and opinion on this subject to much j
1 w eight and consideration ; and believing, they [
I would not advocate a measure, which in its
; nature and under the circumstances, was cal
i ciliated to take effect piincipally among them-
I selves and their constituents 5 unless they
had been fully persuaded of its justice and!
propriety ; —And believing they were can-!
did in their statement, that such a law, w ould j
be beneficial to the w hite people in that sec-'
tion of the eOitntry s— That there were a hum* i
her of Indians there, half-breeds, as also the
common Indian, who were well educated,
moral and religious men; —Whoso persons
and property, were altogether at the mercy .
of the lawless white men, who hover on the
frontier ; and who were in the habit ofgoing j
into the nation and driving off with impuiii- 1
tv the Indian's Cattle, horses and bogs ;
That they from a know ledge of the probable
efleets and operation of that law, had nothing
to fear in behalf of themselves or their con-!
stitilcnts:—“For that, under this law, our!
courts would seldom allow an improper wit-;
ness to testify and if they should, occasion
ally do so, the jury would still have power to
weigh the testimony and to disregard it al
-1 togetlu r if unworthy of credit; —That no one
coulddoubt the disposition of the white jury,
to take care of the interest of the white man ;
and no one, could reasonably presume, that
they would find against a w hite man, on the :
testimony o. an Indian, unless that testimony,
was clearly entitled to credit, or sufficiently ’
1 corroborated l>v other testimony.” Morcovi r,
a great part of the law eXU riding thccrimnal 1
J and civil jurisdiction of this state, over the I
I Cherokee Territory, without this section,!
1 would be inoperative and altogether Us less, j
1 mention these facts and arguments, as hav- j
I ing been advanced and urged upon tin;
1 House, principally ,y the members represent*
‘ ing the conn it s, bordering upon and in the
vicinity of the Cherokee Nation ; which I be- ;
: Sieve to he strictly in accordance with the j
I facts, as there were for reasons before men- j
tioned, chiefly interested in this measure. Uu* |
der the influence of these and the like views;
l gave my vote, and whatever, may be, the
abstract merits of that vote; I have the con
solation of having, voted honestly and with a
due reverence to the oath, I had taken ; to
. vote on all questions, coming before me for
the best interest of the country.
But, fellow citizens, this \oii will, observe,
Ha vote, I gave year before last; since which
period, I iiave had the honor of being a second
j time elected, your Representative, without
opposition; and if there was that crying ami 1
j unpardonable sin in that vote, that iiiv op
ponents would wish to induce you to believe ;
why, have I riot been called to au account,
for it, before this ? Were my opponents then
slumbering over the rights cf.d interests of
I their country ? and, have they but just now
| awoke? No, fellow citizens. It is ail a hobby :
jit is all an electioncaring trick,
i This very section, for voting in favor of
! which. I am now to be put down, has been
in substance the law of Georgia, ever since
tiie settlement of the State, down to 1826 a
period of about a century ; and, where is the
instance, that u judge or jury of this Stutc,
lias been so regardless, of the rights and in
terests of their fellow citizens as to give
credit to an Indian, to the wanton violation
of those rights j If the citizens of those four
teen or fifteen Counties, bordering upon and
in the vicinity of tiie Cherokee Nation, had
know’ll of the existence of such a case or ap
prehended its occurrence ; do you believe
they would b • in favor of this section ? by no
means. Another reason, I will mention, that
had some influence on niv mind. It was ur
ged, on the suggestion of General Jackson,
that if Georgia, would in this particular, pur
sue a more lenient and liberal policy towards
the Indians, Congress would be better dis
posed to co-operate with In r in extinguishing
1 lie Indian titles and removing them from our
I lands. For without the aid and approbation
I or Congress, we shall never be able to elf* ct
| this desirable result, without collision witl
| the General Gov; rinnent, which may result,
j in civil war and disunion,
j The next charge “ A Citizen” calls upon
j me to answer, is one if true, would place m >
| before the public in a Very unenviable light,
j moraHy and politically. Rut it is a source
lof infinite satisfaction to me, to be able tu
j present a triumphant vindication from tliio
; charge, of ntoral and political dcrilcction m
j the law itself; which 1 have been charged
i w ith introducing, for the express purpose ot*
] breaking up Robert’s Ford Road, by the sal.>
job the Island, through which it passes for th
j benefit of Col- Thomas’ F< rrv. The lav/
j reads thus,
An act to provide for surveying and dis
posing of the unappropriated islands in th
Flint & Cliattahoochio Rivers, and for grant
ing the same.
Be it enacted by the Si natc and House cf
Representatives of tin Ft ate of Georgia in
General Assembly met, and it .s, hereby en
acted by.the authority o*' the same, that ik
shall be the duty of the County Surveyors of
the Counties lying on the East Bank of tlio
' Flint River, immediately after the passage of
this act, to proceed to survey and plat, all
unappropriated Islands in said River, cf ten
acres and upwards adjacent to their Counties
respectively, & furnish a platt of the same de
signating the number of acres, to the Sheriff*
of his County, and one to the Surveyor Gen
eial, for which the said surveyors shall be al
j lowed their ordinary fees, except the Island
1 opposite Robert’s Ford on said rive r, and over
which the said public road is now established
leading from Tliomaston to Columbus.
Now, it is manifest, from tiie iuw and facts
, i>i this case, that thcra are three distinct and
independent reasons, each itself a sufficient
answer to this charge. In the first place, tin*
Island at Robert’s Ford, does not contain teu
acres; and none under ten acres, were to be
..eld by the law ; in the second place, if that
Island had contained ten acres, it could not
liave been sold, for it is expressly cxvli.d, and
j from sale in the law, whatever m;;y be itssizo
'or value; and in the third place, that read
! was recognised, as a public road by the Infe
; rior Courts, of both Upson aud Talbot ; and
j consequently the purchaser of tiiat Eland
; even if it had been sold, would have hae 110
right to have obstructed that or any other
1 road, passing through it—the Island previa
011s to the passage of this law lying in tiie ju
risdiction of Upson. . *
f am in rile next place, called upon by “A
Citizen,” to explain inv views and the courso
I took, relative-to establishing a precinct on
the river. I was not, before, apprised tiiut
my views or conduct in that afl'air had been
called in question: However, for the satis
faction of this queri st, us well as all other.*
concerned, I will briefly stale my views and
conduct, in relation to the establishment ot*
that precinct. In the first place then, my
views w< re simply to represent the- w ishes of
my constituents: And 111 the second place,
l did advocate and aid in procuring the pas
j sage of a law , o ‘ubli.dting an election rre
! cine.t at Blount A. Davis' .Store ; having ascer
tained such to be tiie wish of the citizens of
that section of the county, and that such a
I measure would meet the approbation cf iho
'county generally.
In the last place, “ A Citizen” intimates,
that I am highly saturatedwith the mania of
Nullification. In reply to this, I would sim
ply observe, that I have not been able, as
yet, to attach a definite idea to that mystical
word “Nullification.” However, if as “ A
Citizen” seems to suppose, it is connected
with civil war, revolution, blood and carnage,
l am no Nullifier.
Notwithstanding, I have labored to be as brief
as possible, in answering the charges brought
against me, by this annonymous writer: yet,
this addrt ss has swelled to such uu entent, as
to > ; rider it iii( .\p. dieiff to notice as was my
purpose, some other charges that have been
privately circulated in this county, ih tending
my injury: However, confiding in the rettcc
tion, that the people of Upson county, will
not condemn me, without a fair hearing, or
some plausible evidence of guilt. —I liustci*

Fellow Citizen,
