To the people of the State of Georgia, arid

Lends, of the present Chief Magistrate of the
R'. States —the following traits of the two in

I vine it can be established by the most

The writer of this article lias been intimate:
(-acquainted with Judge Schley (whose liis
loiv he v. i > first offet to your consideration)
fa more than a quaiter of a century. Ti c
tats of his political character, which arc
ice testified to, passed directly under his
i .Trillion ; anil inis observation of his polit
;.! heresies was made under feelings of rER
:,.u, friendship, and therefore not likely to
if distorted. The motive which impels him
loinake public these facts, is formed from a
lief, that his jirfiiciples arc obnoxious to the
■topic of Georgia.
1 now proceed to his history. In the days
if the Administration of John Adams, the l il
i. r,alien even iib was compelled to dismiss
1:0:11 his Councils, Timothy Pickering, Judge
1-iiley gave as a toast, at the crlcbrntion of

Wien John Q. Adams seceded from the Fcd

af the views of that party, Judge Schley called
lira “a political apostate.” He openly sup
orted tile meeting of the Hartford Conven

The statement of Mr. fi'lie.s. S'. .Martin rel

Sik—My friend, Maj. Jos. T. Camp, ac
cepts the proposition made by you us the
fiicnd.ci' Gen. S. Woolfolk to-day in the Sur
veyor-General’s Office, and demands a meet
ing with Gen. Woolfoik unarmed, accompa
nied by two friends each, to settle the diffi
culty of to day. And Maj. Camp father
pledges himself afterwards to meet Gen.
Woolfolk with deadly weapons whenever cal
led on.
Very respectfully, vourob’t serv’t.

Sir —Your friend, Maj. Camp, in calling ,
upon Gen. YVooifolk for satisfaction for hisj
conduct to him on yesterday, assumes io him- j
self the character of an acceptor, (when in |
fact he is demanding satisfaction) and invites!
the General to a mode of combat hitherto j
unknow to gentlemen, and particularly to j
those o (military rank. Although this is a|
strange* and unheard of demand 1 for satisfac-j
turn, l am instructed by (fen. Wool folk to take j
no exceptions, but to state to you that he will j
meet Maj. Camp at 4 o’clock this afternoon, j
at some convenient place in the vicinity of
Aiiiletigeville where they wut adjust their:
dillioiilty— first by fighting without arms, asj
desired by the Major, and then before they j
shall leave the ting ti- use deadly u-capon.s, asj
alluded to in your noli —which shall he for |
the selection of your friend. On the receipt j
of this, l shall expect to receive the weapon
to be used. Respectfully,

Milledgcrillc, Nov. lGth, 1631. j
Sir —Mv note to you on yesterday, was;
mere I v intended to inform you, as the friend
of General Woolfolk, that Maj. Camp was
willing toansw or thoMemaml,which you,as the
friend of General Woollolk, made ot him in
the State House on yesserday, immediately
after the rencounter, anil thus he considers
himself the person called on to give satisfac
tion. Now Maj. Cump novel expected that
the difficulty would be adjusted by any tnccl
wr wi.hout anas that miirht take place in
j M dlcdgeville, nor did he expect that General
! Woolfolk would propose a meeting villi arms
within the jurisdictional limits of this State ;
® Vvv.o M L'i I *B ;i;:iJg>:jg
: f well might be expected that you would
i " aV(! solicited a meeting with deadly wea-
P OIJS in some Church, or t o State ilousc,
that the case might proceed without interrup
tion. You know that Mnj. Camp is a citizen
of this State, and could not violate the laws
on this subject, particularly at this time and
in this place, and escape with impunity.—
He is still willing to meet Gen. Woo!folk,
without weapons, at any convenient place in
this town, at the hour proposed, and af
terwards to meet Gen. Woe!folk without the
limits of this State, with deadly weapons , at
some convenient time and place, and as Gen.
Mooltolk is the person that demands the
meeting with deadly weapons, Maj. Camp re
serves to himself all tiie rights and privileges
that appertain to the person call.nl on—and
he pledges himself that they shall not be un
usual nor extraordinary- You say that “Mai.
Camp invites Gen. Woolfolk to a mode of
combat hitherto unknown to gentlemen, par
ticularly of military rank.” lain instructed
by Maj. Camp to say, however unusual this
mode of combat may be with some gentle
men, that (fen. Wool folk cam.t properly
avail himself of this plea—it being the usual
mode by which of all of his previous difficul
ties have heretofore been settled—but if Gen.
Wool folk prefers that both inodes of combat
should take place at the same time ; Major
Camp proposes the meeting without the juris
dictional limits of this date, at as early a pe
riod as will suit your friend's convenience.
Respectfully, JOSEPH STURGES.
A. H. Kknax, Esq.
Fir—l was astonished to learn by your
letter of this morning that your friend Maj.
Camp, ha J so fur perverted my verbal coin
inunicatioii to him on y reicjrday as to repre
sent me as calling on him as the friend of
Gen. Wool folk, for satisfaction ! It is possi
ble sir, that your friend, under (he excitement
of the occasion, may have misunderstood me
—My language to him was this, “7 am at/,
thorised, sir, as the friend of Gen. Wool folk,
to say to you that you can hare any satisfac
tion front him which you may retptire." Is
this a demand or call from Gen. Woolfolk for
satisfaction? Certainly not—it was but a
prefer, through his friend, to give Mnj. Camp
satisfaction, in as much as he had said Gen.
Woolfolk had taken the advantage of him bv
attacking him when unarmed—Gen. Wool
folk has but one objection to be viewed as
the challenging party —not that he regards
! the jwieilcges or right that either situation
I would secure to,him; but that lie views him
-1 self incapable, after correcting an individual
for an insult, farther to press him when he, (as
did Mnj. Cutup) rails upon the cro.'d ft pro
tect him, stating that he was unarmed while
a dirk that glistened from his Imsom gave the
contradiction—tiiis, sir, superaded to ihc facts
in the ease is the reason, why Gon. Woolfolk
is unwilling to be considered as demanding
satisfaction—and sir, so far from the Gen’ls.
demanding satisfaction—your first note states
that your friend Maj. Camp “ demands of
Gen. Woolfolk a meeting , Ac.” but as I have
previously stated, your friend shall have the
prl Urge and rights of the challenged party—
for Gen. Woolfolk is resolved that no excep
tion or quibble shall be imputed to him —
The Gen. proposes to meet Maj. Gamp on
the 25th inst. in the vicinity of Fort Mitch
ell-—I shall expect to meet Maj. Camp’s
friend at Columbus on the 24.‘!i inst. to enter
into further preliminaries—The weapon and
distance must be settled now.
Kopocifully, A. 11. IvLNAN.
Jos. S'i'rnolis, Esq.
l.lhlhslgetillc, Nat. 1 8th, 1831.
Sir—My friend, Maj. Camp, will mroi
your friend Gen. Woolfolk, at or near Fort
Mitchell, on the 2oth inif.as desired on ihe
part of your friend—and will fight with pis
tols at th(‘ distance of ton paces—You will
lie pronip*'y met at Columbus on the 21th by
myself or some other .friend of Maj. Camp’s,
to enter into the necessary arrangements.

Mr. Martin speaks of his receiving the
“ basis" of “ a reconciliation" from me !•*—and
what was that basis ! —it was, even according
to the published “ statement" of Mr. Martin—
That “provided” Maj. Camp should with
draw his challenge and all opprobrious epi
theta derogatory to my character —that 1
would then state what 1 afterwards did state
in reply to Maj. Camp’s note to wit: That
from the spirit and tenor of his note with
drawing his challenge and till opprobrious ep
ithets touching mp-honor and bravery 1 sta
ted that my attack upon him in the State
House was precipitate and improper.
Can this he viewed as the “ basis of a rec
onciliation” that is to reflect honor upon Maj.
Camp I —Who after demanding satisfaction
for an injury—not only first withdraws his
challenge and all opprobrious epithets used
of me ; hut who states that ho had not spo
ken any thing derogatory to my character as
a private man or gentleman. Whi n I was
informed even by the unsigned and unad
dressed note,(a* Mr. Martin states) that Maj.
Camp denied ever having spoken any thing
derogatory to my character as a private man
or a gentleman— that if lie had be freely
withdrew any and every opprobrious epithets
calculated to injuic—and that the words used
in the State House of me, together with his
challenge, were withdrawn —Could 1 have
done less upon this statement, than to have
said, that if he, Maj. Camp, would sign that
note 1 would state that nry attack was precip
itate .and improper?
The unsigned note and acknowledgement
by me as spoken of in Mr. Martin’s “state
ment” is explained by the statement of my
j friend Mr. A. H. Kcnaan-Tiiedevelopment of
f this difficulty between Maj. Camp and rnv
j,, |f is not made to bias Or court public opin
j lon —|,ut simply to give every individual an
j opportunity of drawing his own conclusions
I As for myself, I state now as l did to an
triends at l oif Mitchell, that I view the eon
duet of Maj. Catnp on the 25th Nov. as an en
tire hack out —It he views my conclusion er
roneous, he has but to communicate it to me,
and the matter wul be resumed at the [ire
cise point at which it stood at Fort Mitchell,
after our friends had selected the ground and
thrown up for die word—mid to bo conducted
by the same articles of agreement that were
agreed to on the 2 Ith at Columbus—So soon
as Maj. Camp shall signify his w ish to me to
resume the matter, I will give him the time
of our meeting. . WOOLFORK.
Maj. t amp and Gen Woolfold were to •
have met in the vicinity of Fort Mitchell on
(lie 25th ultimo, at the hour of 11 o'clock, A. I
M. Between 16 and 11 o’clock of that day j
Al.jj. Musters and myself, accompanied I>v j
Messrs 1 hweatt and Triplett, selected a spot !
for the meeting, near the river;—After select-1
ing the ground and throwing up for the word,!
Messrs. Masters and Triplett returned to the !
tavern at the hurt, where Maj. Camp had I
stopped. Mr. Thweatt and myself returned j
to Gen. Woolfolk. who was within tw o or !
three hundred yards of the ground, at a Mr.j
Lirkpatrick s. i*hin a short time after my
return, Mr. 1 lios. S. .Martin arrived from the
fort with an unsigned and unaddressed state-1
incut, which lie presented to Gen. Woolfolk
and myself, asking if it would be satisfacto- j
ry—l replied to him that it would, and that if j
Mat. Camp would sign it, Gen. Woolfolk
should prefer it to his blood—Air. Martin then i
asked il Mnj. Camp would sign the paper j
which he, Martin, had shown us—what will!
Gen. Woolfolk state—l answered—if Maj.
Cuyip will sign that instrument of writing,
(; en. Woo!folk’s reply shall he satisfactory to
Maj. Camp and every other gentleman—-and j
aoding—if it should not be satisfactory to i
Maj. Camp, the day is lie,fore us and they can j
■ben fight. Upon which Mr. Martin return- i
ed to Maj. Camp—and in a short time return,
cd to us stating that Maj. Camp wished to see
what Gen. Worlfolk would be willing to state
upon his withdrawing hischallcnge and the
opprobious epithets.
We then gave Mr. Martin an unsigned J
statement of what, Gon. Woolfolk would give'
in reply—he returned to Maj. Camp and in a
few minutes returned to us witii a signed note
from Maj. Camp, and then, and not until then
did Gen. Woolfolk sign the reply to Maj.
Camp—Whereupon the matter ended.
The ernn- of the notes which passed at the
adjustment speak for themselves, and are as i
follows : j
TO THF. riTBLIC.
At the request of Mu-]
jor Gamp, L make*this
statement.' and learning
that false reports have
been circulated relative
to the adjustment of the
difficulty between Ma
jor Camp and General
SV oolfolk, and to shew
the iimnser by which it
was effected, and to put
a stop to all falsehoods,
J make then these state
ments : After the paT
tiej had reached the
ground, I, without the
knowledge or consent of
Major Camp,called upon
General Woolfolk, in
order, if possible, toad-1
just the diliiculty oxist
ing between them. From
General Woolfolk 1 re
ceived the Basis of a re
conciliation—which was,
that General Woolfolk
was willing to make ae
knowlqdg. mi nts to Ma
jor Camp—provided the
challenge was with
drawn for the purpose of
his doing so, and that
Major Camp should
withdraw certain abu
sive epithets derogatory
to his character. This
much I reduced to wri
ting, and laid it before
Major Camp. Major
Cam]) at first objected to
the withdrawal of i!n*
challenge, until he could
know what acknowl
edgements Gen. Wool
lblk would make; and
remarked, that it might
be suspended for a short
time; but upon being
informed that a chal
lenge was considered as
ari insuperable bar to the
party challenged, as long
as it was hanging over
the person, he sat down
and wrote a few lines
correcting the General’s
promises, in which be
stated that he had 'no re
collection of having spo
ken of General Wool
folk in disrespectful
terms —that the abusive
epithets used in the
State-House, were elicit
ed by General’s conduct
—that lie had spoken
very freely of Genoial
\\ oolfolk’s conduct as a
politician;" that the
words made use of in the
State-Ilonsc might he
considered as withdrawn
as well as the chal
lenge !” This was not
addressed to any one ;
nor was it stgned-mere
ly intended to correct
sonic fact; and to give
General Wool folk an op
portunity of making
such acknowledgments
as would satisfy Major
Camp. I then carried
this paper to General
Woolfolk, Who express
ed himselfsatisfied ; and
sent Major Camp an
honorable arhuotv/ti/gc
went in wiling, that Ids
(Woolfolk’s) conduct in
making the attack ir. the
State-House was prtriji
ilule and iiuj.ropcr.—-
Both papers were then
signed; and the difficul
ty settled to the honor
and satisfaction of both
parties.

I passed upon the settlement of the difficulty j

From my acquaintance and knowledge of
Mr. Martini atn confident that the impres
sion which the latter part of his statement
gives, is unintentional—tvi wtt: that before
Maj, Camp signed the note to Gen. Wool-i
folk that Gen. Woolfolk sent Maj. Camp an
honorable acknowledgement. Tiiis would im- 1
ply that Gen. Woolfolk’s note proceeded Maj.
Camp’s, when in fact it was a reply. lam
sa.isfied that Mr. Martin will distinctly recol
lect that Gon. Wool folk’s reply was unsigned
when Maj. Camp saw it, and that it was not
signed until M.tj. Camp frst signed and sent
his note. In giving Gen. Woolfolk’s apology
or statemet, Mr. .Martin merely states that
Gen. Woolfolk acknowledged his conduct in
making the attack precipitate and improper—
wmch to many would give an entirely different
impression from what the whole note would
give, to wit:—From the spirt mid tenor of
