Is J LLOW-CITIZENS— Some months since * inyn imcv. as announced in the public Jour nals ot this place, as a candidate to,represent von in the representative branch of the next Legisla ture cl this state. Since that, time there have boon many important changes in the mercantile world, affecting almost all engaged in trade ; that I seouhl have escaped the troubles of others, engaged in the like pursuit, was not to have been expected. Those changes, which arc familiar to you all, have caused much time to he spent by those \vii@ are able to s> stain themselves in mak ing the accessary arrangements for the approach ing business season. My own bittiness has ta ken much more of my time than I anticipated in the early part of the season ; it lias also been one which called me from the county, and even from the state ; that this circumstance has prevented me from- commingling with my friends and ac quaintances, and keeping up ns well as increas ing that social and frii tally feeling- which is the result of frequent intercourse, is a fact that I am aware of; that I have also been denied the privi lege ot rebutting unjust and ungenerous accusa tions, is a fact known to yourselves; to have cal culated on having justice done 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 herself had been sparing in her bounties to me, you have only to turn to the publie journals |ot the day—to prove this, however, is a matter j of but little importance, for notwithstanding I | possess as large a stock of vanity as ought to fall j to-the share of any man, I have never been so lost jto 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 which i am anxious should be re pelled—one in which my reputation as an honora ble man is assailed ; I mean the statement made !> y Mr. Groce, “ that I was used as a mere candi date to keep off candidates for his, Groce’s bene fit, and i would decline being a candidate just be fore the election.” I here state, and challenge the world to produce evidence to the-contrary, j Brat f never did, either directly or indirectly, ei j ther By myself or through any friend, give Mr' I Groce to understand that I would, or had any in j ten lion ol declining, and had l have had such an j idea, it would never loots been based upon such : principles. I have only to ask of my friends such j support as my general c' -.racier for capacity and | integrity, iTiay, in their estimation, entitle me to. Y our lellow-citizen, I B. S. GRIFFIN. I Macon, 22d Sept. 45 1—• " ■ Fellow Citizens of Upson Comity. Sl r nn apology shou.tl be deemed necessary for this appeal to you, it will bo found | not only in the fact, that divers false and i!.- ! liberal charges have been privately ami in* | dustritsn.dy circulated in this county, having ! in view the dm at of my election, and cal-. | ciliated, if uneonlnulieted to detract from that I standing and character, which ! wish ever jto maintain in the estimation of my Fellow j Citizens. Rut 1 have been in a more public land definite manner, called upon by acorn j mtmieatio'i in the Democrat of tin; 10th inst. j over the signature qf“A Citizen,” to respond ‘tocertain charges, in the shape of interroga tories, there propounded tome. | The responsibility of public agents, is a 1 part of my political creed. 1 therefore recog. ; niso the right of my constituents, to demand of me, the reasons and motives that mav ' have influenced uiv, in any or all of my ofii ; cial acts. In the first place, then ; I am charged by ; “A Citizen,” with voting in favor of a law, I allowing Indians to testify in our Courts of Judicature. j This charge, lias reference to proceedings, which took place in the Legislature, year be | fore Inst : during that ses-ion, a law was pass led, adding that part of the Cherokee Terri j tory within our chartered limits, to the ad j joining counties ; and extending the laws of j Georgia over the same; and among other j enactments, providing for the punis.t.uent of I the Indians for certain offences therein men tioned : At the conclusion ofthat law, was | this section, upon whicii, 1 gave the cxcop | tiouafdc vote. “And he it. further enacted jby the authority aforesaid : That no Indian 1 or discendant of an Indian, shall lie acompe tarit witness in any court of this state; until the Judge or justice presiding, shall be ful ly satisfied that the said witness has a due and proper sense of the obligation of our oath.

As will be soon, the vote on this motion, was not a party vote ; the loading members of both parties sustaining, this section. What is the relative proportion of the Clark and Troup parties 0:1 this vote, I am not able, at this time, to say. This much, however, 1 know, which had a considerable influence in determining my vote ; that of the thirteen members, representing the seven counties, bordering on the Cherokee Territory, and to whose jurisdiction, that country was attach ed ; eleven of the thirteen, including the oldest and most influential members, were warm and zealous advocates of this section ; among whom, were Bates, Cleveland, & Wof ford ; unquestionably at that time the lead ers ot 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 oftho sixteen members, voted the same way; a : large nmjc.-rrfy of whom were Clark men ; however this may he; whether they were Tioup or Clark men ij not material. But, for myself, confiding in the honesty and in tegrity of these members ; whose proximity to the Cherokee Nation, entitled tiieir judg ment and opinion on this*subject to much weight and consideration ; and believing, they would not advocate a measure, which in its nature and under tliti-circumstanees, was cal culated to take effect principally among them selves and their constituents; unless they had been fully persuaded of its justice and [propriety;—And believing they wore can did in their statement, flint such a law, would be beneficial to the white people in that sec tion of the country;—That there were a imin her of Indians there, half-breeds, as also the common Indian, who were well educated, moral and religious wen ; —Whose 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 ! into the nation and driving off with impuni j tv the Indian’s Cattle, horses and hogs ; 'That they from a knowledge of the probable and operation of that law, had nothing to fear in behalf of themselves or their con stituents:—“l 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 together if unworthy bferedit; —That no one could doubt 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 white man, on the testimony o an Indian, unless that testimony, was clearly entitled to credit, or sufficiently corroborated by other testimony.” Moreover, a great part of the law extending the eriiiinal and ei\ it jurisdiction of this state, over the 1 Cherokee Territory, without this section, i would he inoperative and altogether useless. ! 1 mention these facts and arguments, ashav j ing been advanced and urged upon the 1 House, principally .y the members represent ing the conn ies; bordering upon and in the vicinity of the Cherokee Nation ; which I be lieve to he strictly in accordance with the facts, as there were for reasons before men tioned, chiefly interested in this measure. Un der the influence oft bp sc and the like views; f gave my vote, arid whatever, may he, the abstract merits ofthat vote; I have the con solation of having, voted honestly and with 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 you will, observe, is a vote, 1 gave year before last.; since which period, I have had the honor of being a second time elected, your Representative, without opposition; and if there was that crying and unpardonable siri in that vote, that my op, pone at > would wish to induce you to believe ; why, have l not been called to an account, for it, before this f Were my opponents then sl mibering oyer the rights and interests of their country ’ and, have they hut just now awoke? No, feliowf citizens. It is all a hobby : it is all an elec,tionering trick. This very section, for voting in favor of 1 which; I nut irwv to be put down, hag been in substance the law of Georgia, ever since the settlement of the State, down to 1*26 a. period of about a century i and, where is the instance, that a judge or jury of this State* has hern so regardless, of the rights and in. terests ot their fellow citizens as to giva credit to an Indian, to the wanton violation of those rights : If the citixoris of those four teen or fittecn Counties, bordering upon and ia the vicinity of the Cherokee Nation, had known of the existence of such a case or ap prehended its occurrence; do you believo they would be in favor of this section ? by no means. Another reason, I will mention, that had some influence on my mind. It was nr aed, on the suggestion of General Jackson, that it Georgia, would in this particular, pur sue a more lenient and libera! policy towards: • tie Indians, Congress would be better dis posed to co-operate with her in extinguishing' die ludj.au titles and rt moving them from our lands. I*or without the aid and approbation or Congress, we shall never be able to effect tuis desirable result, without collision witi the General Government, which may result ■in civil war and disunion. The next charge “ A Citizen” calls upojv me to auswer, is one if true, would place m before the publie in a very unenviable light, 1 morally and politically. But it is a source jot infinite satisfaction to me, to be able t<* ; present a triumphant vindication from this j charge, ot moral and political dcrileetion iin , the law itself; which 1 have been charged with introducing, for the express purpose of ! breaking up Robert’s Ford Road, by tlicsuio of the Island, through which Fgrasses* for tho j benefit of Col. Thomas’ i\ y. The lu\vt reads thus, An act to provide for surveying and dis posing of the unappropriated Islands in tin* I lint & Chattahoochie Rivers, and for grant ing the same. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia iir General Asseably met, and it is, hereby erfo acted by the authority o‘ the 3ame, that it shall be the duty of the County Surveyors off the Counties lying on the Last Bank of the Flint River, immediately after t.’:o passage ot : Bus act, to proceed to survey and plat, all J unappropriated Islands in said River, of ten acres and upwards adjacent to their Cfonuiius repectivclyy<Se furnish a platt of the same de signating the lumber of acres, to the Slmrifi* ! of his Coopty, and one to the Purveyor Cm;- * rial, for wirf -Ji the s:\%i surveyors shall be al. lowed their ordinary fees, except the Island - opposite Rob' ft’s Ford on sub! river, and ovef w hich the said public road is now established leading from Tlioiuaston fo Cojumbus. Now, it is manifest, from the law and facta in this case, that there are three distinct and independent reasons, each itself a sufficient answer to this charge. In the first place, Bit* Island at Robert’s Ford, does not contain ten acres; and none under ten acres, were to bt sold by the law; in the second place, if that. IsL-.J had contained tt u aftres, if could info have been sold, for it is expressly exclud'd from sale in the law, whatever may he its siz<> or value; and in the third place, that roar| was recognised, as a public road by the Infe rior Courts, of Loth lipson and Talbot ; and consequently the purchase? of that Island veu it it had been sold, would have bad n<* right to have obstructed tint or any other road, passing through it—the Island pr- via ous to the passage of this law lying in the ju* lisdiction of Upson. I am in the next place, called upon by “A Citizen,” to explain my views and the c our so I took, relative to establishing a precinct on the river. I was not, before, apprised that my views or conduct in that affair had hem called in question : However, for the satis faction of this querest, as well. as al! others concerned, 1 will briefly state my views and conduct, in relation to the establishment of that precinct. In the first place then, my views were simply to rpn scut the wishes of my constituents: And in the second place, 1 djjl.advocate and aid in procuring the pas sage of a law, establishing an election pro cinct at Blount & Davis’Storc ; having asccr. tained such to be the wish of the citizens of that section at the county, and that such <% measure would meet the approbation of tho county generally. In the last p'acc, “ A Citizen” intimate?, that I am highly saturated with the mania of* Nullification. In reply to this, I would sim ply observe, that f have not been ably, cm yet, to attach a dofi lite idea to that mystic®! word “Nullification.” However, if as “ A Citizen” seems to suppose,- it ia connected with civil war, revolution, blood and carnage, I am no Nullificr. Notwithstanding, I have labored to bo. ns brief as possible, in an: v.u ring the charges brought: against me, hv this atiuonymou* writer ; vet, tills addn ss has swelled to such an eutent, a.* to render it inexpedient to notice a* was nty purpose, some other charges that have be<‘H privately eircuiatcu in this county, intending* my injury: However, confiding in the reflec tion, that the people of Upson eoufitv, will not condemn mo, without a (air hearing, or some plausible evidence of guilt.—j ha?foil , to subscribe myself thus, Fellow Citizen, .TAR W.
