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. Y’our fellow-citizen, B. 8. GRIFFIN.

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 oath.

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* 1 to subscribe myself thus, Fellow Citizen, JAS.
