Mitered at Clinton, on the 25th ult. before an as
semblage of citizens, who had met to take into con
sideration the. mode and measure of redress, in re
lation to the Tariff... [ Lewis's Redress, and Jor
dan's Submission Resolutions being under consi
deration :]
!r. Chairman :
■ The occasion, on which wc have assem
■ieil, is one that should have united us as
patriots and as friends. All considerations,
If less importance, than our liberties and the
■reservation of our country, should have been
left behind, when we came out to this meet
ing- It is much to be regretted, that such is
not the fact. Nothing short of my great
Anxiety to produce this desirable end could
Bave prevailed on me, at this late hour, to*
Bespass further upon your patience.
I The object of this meeting, Mr. Chairman,
Bs I understand it, is to take into considera
tion, what course to pursue, in the present
■crisis of our political affairs; whdt mode, if
lany, this county, in common with our fellow
(citizens throughout the State, will adopt, to
[preserve the Federal Government in its puri
ry, and to rid ourselves of the protective sys
tem. I sincerely, from the bottom of my
llieart lament, that any thing should have
[occurred to divert our minds from this object.
[lt was to be hoped that gentlemen would
have cor;-ulted their patriotism and the bless
pngsof freedom, and not their prejudices and
the probabilities of party ascendancy. It
was to be wished that no gentleman would
■have so far forgot the interest involved, as to
■have thrown a fire brand into the delibera
tions of this meeting. We have not assem
■hlcd here, for the purpose of proving the in-
Iconsistoney of this or that gentleman. We
■ have not met here to denounce the doctrine
■of Nullification, to pass upon the ambition or
■ virtues of the aspirants of t(je day, nor .o dis-
I cuss the worth and merits of our venerable
I President. If this had been the object in
I view, there was no necessity of our crowd
ling together, at this time, within these sacred
''■alls. Gentlemen are certainly engaged in
poor business, to quit their homes, to turn
°ut here, merely to denounce this or that
character as guilty of “ tergiversation of pur
pose. So far as gentlemen have expressed
their opinions on these subjects, there seems
to be no diversity of sentiment. Then why
wring Calhoun in our ears ? Why cry out
Nullification ? Why say this or that measure
is designed to defeat the re-election of Gen
eral Jackson ? Are we to be deterred by
each considerations as these, from asserting
ii'wl maintaining our liberties ? Are we to be
frig.'i.‘cried out o' our rights and out of our
attach),.'cuts to the institutions of the country,
hy the ni'-.yc sound of names, or by the sug
gestions of consequencos? I trust
not. Let mo irr>w!u' ve gentlemen, as they love
the union,%as they Jt> ' e P ci >ce and harmony,
as they regard the mi't?ty of the States,
ad tiicir own rights as frozen, to come up
an <ltriake an immokition of cv'ery unhallow
disposition and every party prejudice up
®n the altar of the public good. I beseach
holh Clark men and 'Troup men to forget,
•heir old difihrer,res, and mingle their coun
togetaer id affect.', on thi * ; ™ ost '% C J’
1 "S 0i,(l air absorbing °' Cas '!, d ' nJC i, a
country has never before prcseiu. ",
spectacle as the present. \\ hero in trio
•lids of history can there he found an instance i
f| i a people living under a government oftheir 1
°wn choice, enjuving quiet with the world)
prospering in their pursuits, assembled to
hi vise the means of redressing tire grievances j
imposed upon them bv that same govern- i
merit? The same then before us is no less
novel, than it is sol emir and imposing.
Mr. Chairman, the subjects of tyrants have
complain, and against the merciless edicts of
'heir masters. Vasels of Lords have resisted
' 'i-enson ihlc evictions. But it Ins been re-
served for the free people of this countn
after creating a government for themselves,
to protest against its policy and still groan
under its burthens. Let the truth be tojd ;
we have tnumoralized, remonstrated and pro
tested all in vain. Should wo on this ac
count act precipitately ! Should we act
rashly ? Never. This is still our own gov
eminent. We should he calm. We should
iie deltbea.e ? And lot us also *>c firm and
decided. Our cause is the same; omnipo
tent in union, but impotent m distractions;
let us move in one solid phalanx in this great
matter. We should take a full view of the
whole subjer t. We should not merely im-j
agine ourselves aggrieved, and then shut our
eyes and rushldindly onward- I pray gentle
men to be candid—to be dispassionate. It
is due to the solumnity of the occasion; it is
duo the cause we advocate; it is due our
common country, that we should be honest in
the present crisis. Let us consider our
wrongs; let us calculate the aggregate a
mount of the rights, privileges and blessings
we tnjoy. Let us view our condition at home
and the relation we sustain to the other por
tions of this confederacy, and then let us say,
in the spirit of friendship resolve what course j
to pursue.
It would, Mr. Chairman, be uncandid not
frankly to admit, that, in tny humble opinion,
any action on the part of the state, resisting
the tariff acts, possibly might result in serf
ous consequences. What these consequen
ces may be, is beyond the ken of human fore
sight to foretell. We should prepair for the
worst, and hope for the best. 1 would not
attempt to deceive you, by incouruging you
to believe, that there will be no difficulties
in the way. Nor would I insult you si*far as
to endeavour to operate upon your fears or
apprehensions. -I most sincerely desire, that
the whole matter should be thoroughly un
derstand, and it this be the case, a wise de
termination- I have no hesitancy in saying,
will he the result.
With these remarks, Mr. Chairman, I will
proceed to state in as few \. orris as possible,
why we should reject the substitute offered
by Col. Jourdan and adopt the report of the
committee. In this I shall he brief; I promise
not to detain you long. The object of the re
port from the committee, is to ascertain,
whether we will agree to the appointment of
delegates to attend the convention to meet
in Milledgeville on the second Monday in
November next, in order to take into consid
eration the inode and measure of redress, a
gainstthe present system of legalized rapine
and plunder. The substitute has no such
object in view. It then behooves ns to
consider whether, under all the circumstan
ces, we would he warranted in taking such
an extraordinary step as to go into conven
tion, and if you should conclude, that the
crisis, at which w ; e have arrived, would justi
fy such a step, you will I most earnestly
hope, unanimously adopt the resolutions sub
mitted from the committee, otherwise you
will receive the substitute.
Mr. Chairman—that the present tariff is un
constitutional, we all seem to agree. That
it is unjust and unequal in its operations, no
one here pretends to deny. That it is op
pressive and ruinous upon the south, the de
serted villages, wasted farms and impoverish
ed condition of the people speak in a lan
guage not to be mistaken. While the agri
cultural portion of this country is rapidly do
clining from its former beauty, and vigor the
manufacturing is increasing in wealth and
advancing in general prosperity. The land
favoured with the peculiar blessings of God,
the land, the best suited, of all other sections
of creation, to the growth of the most valuable
staples of the world—“the land of milk and
wine” seem doomed to desertion and robbery,
in order that a region, less favored, by an
all-wise Providence should be equally blessad
and should equally flourish. I-put the ques
tion, is there to be found in the federal consti
tution a single grant of power, authorising
Congress to reverse or in any wise to change
the order of nature ? However absurd this
question may appear, will you believe me
when 1 tell you the affirmative has been as
serted and is "boldly advocated at this time,
by one of the champions of the protective
system! Wa3 it ever designed by the framers
of that instrument, that the poor should be
made poorer in order that the rich might be
made richer? Or was it evei contemplated
by the illustrious sages and heroes of the
Revolution that one section of this Union,
should be taxed, for the purpose of protect
ing the industry of an other? And yet not
withstanding, we are told that the people of
the South must be “ hewers of wood and
rtrawers of water,” for the wealthy and lord
ling manufacturer. 1 ask gentlemen do we
inherit the spirit of our fathers? Let it not
be said that we are unworthy the blessings
bought with their blood.
Mr. Chairman, the beauty of all wise gov
erninents mainly consist in an equal distri
hution of benefits as well a3 of burthens.—
That government, which is uncontrolled ex
cept by the will of an interested majority is a
despotism ; and a despotism can just as com
pletely exist under the administration of
several as under that of one. No favouritism
is recognized in the charter of our lioertics,
all are equal, and entitled to the same pro
tection ; and yet the present system of Federal
taxation (and we are told that it is to he con
sidered the permanent policy of the country)
is nothing short of a system of legislative
plunder of one entire section of this Union,
in order to build up and fatten the capitalist
of an other section. Our delegates in Con
gress ask for free trade, and arc told
that they ask for an absurdity. Free trade
was never enjoyed by any government. It
hr out of the nature of things. -Yet the tariff
of the last session of Congress, by c\ -j
„ li<? u you will find, has just as complete- j

Chairman, the tariff hill ,**! ft last
: of the United Slates Congress, w
more unjust, more unequal & iwfo uii^utt?***
I in Its provisions & will he more so.in its opera
tions than any former one, or tnari any law,
that ever cursed ajfrce people. It i 9 true there
bus been a reduction of duties effect, and; but
upon what articles? * Why sir „po„ those,
w nch the manufacturer consumer exclusive
ly or in common with the south ; the luxuries
of life, such as; teas, coffee, nuts, nutmeg,
spices, ginger, silks, sattins, dvc stuffs, &e.
thereby violating one of the fundamental
principles of taxation, that of taxiijo- those
highest, who are best able to bear \U Yes,
| ,)e I* to the shame of this interested
| majority in Congress, that have Taken off, al-
i ,nost entirely, without an exception, the du
ties from those articles, which are used prin
cipally among the rich and manufacturer,and
continued them upon (hose which the poor
and the south are obliged to have. Suppose
tor a moment that Congress should levy a
direct tax, which would operate as unequally
as does the tario upon the American people,
do you believe sir they would bear it a single
) ear. Ihe common sense of every man,
would revolt at the idea of such injustice.
Mr. Chairman, when we complain of the
inequality of the misnamed American system,
we are branded with ignorance, we are told
that ne are mistaken, that the manufacturers
hear the burthens equally with us, that the
dutied articles are consumed in the North as
well as in the South. Grant it. But they
can well afford to bear this burthen (if it can
be so termed) themselves when they are re
ceiving some forty or fifty per cent on the in
trinsic value of their fabrics, from the con
sumers of those fabrics; that is, they are verv
willing- to pay something more than the true
value of the articles they use, in order to get
the whole United States to pay them a boun
ty of forty-five per cent on every article they
manufacture. In order to settle the matter
beyond controversy, let me ask this question,
where did you ever hear of a people clainer
ous for high taxes ? \\ here did you ever
hear ot “ a million of musket hearing free
men,’ forcing their government to exact more
taxes Irom them ! Is there not some myste
ry in tins ? Can any rational man believe
for a moment, that these people, who are
forever and eternally praying Congress to in
crease the duties on imports, think that they
have to pay them? Your own feelings, your
acquaintance with the dominant principle in
man can readily give the answer. I wish to
know if there is an individual present, who
would take up arms to compel his govern
ment to accept two hundred dollars, when
the government wanted but one.
Air.Chairman, if we had to judge the tariff,
it is on their own showing, we should ho com
pelled to condemn them. Listen ! They say
they want more protection, and the higher
the protection,the lowerthe goods. Was there
ever such gross inconsistency manifested by
any set ot politicians, claiming to therpselves
even anordimtry degree of common sense and
ot common honesty. Mr. Chairman how dif
ferent has been the conduct of the people of
the South in this matter ? They were gene
rous toward their brothers at tlis commence
ment of this system of protection. They arc
still as generous now as t ;ey were then, they
\Vish the bankruptcy of no section of this wide
extended country. They are solicitous for
the prosperity and happiness of the whole,
tltfugh while others arc living, they say let
them Jivea’so. The Tariff “16” was granted
by the South, at the entreaties and prayers of
the infant manufacturies, which had sprung
up during the war, then just closed, and un
iter the restrictions of commerce of those
times. The protections in that bill was not
claimed as a right, it was begged and receiv
ed as a boon. Now we arc to bo reproached
for our magnanimity: we are told, that having
forced the protective system upon the coun
try, we should hear it without a rnurrner !
Was the principle at first censured, by no
means. The manufacturers asked it as a fa
vor, promising on their part in three yeersto
give up all protection, as they would, in that
time, he enabled to stand alone. But instead
of this, what do we find? Why “feeling might
and forgetting right” they increased the a
rnount of protection in the plan of diminish
ing it; and now avow the principle of protec
tion, us the fixed and settled policy of the
government. From that time up to the pres
ent, an interested majority in Congress, has
controlled the legislation on this subject, and
threaten to do so for all time to come, unless
speedily and effectually resisted by the sove
reign people, and this majority has so arrang
ed the bill of the last session, which goes in
to operation tre 4th March next, that our por
tion ot this once happy Union, wants with lit
tle else hut taxation, and the other with noth
ing hut bounties? Is this the government
established in “87.” We are informed by
those who enjoy the best opportunity of judg
ing, and who are viewed as high authority on
this as well as on all other subjects, that while
the “aggregate burthens of taxation are di
minished, 4,000,000 of dollars by this hill, the
positive burthens of the the Southern States
arc not diminished at all, and their relative
burthens are very greatly increased;” and too
we were told at the passage of the bill, by the
one, who is called the father of the system,
thatthc principle being now conceded, (which
he inferred from Southern Inen voting for the
bill) they would hereafter go on to give ade
quate protection where it is not already af
forded. That is, they intend, in obedience to
a recommendation of a late Secretary, to or
ganize the whole industry of the country ; to
make theirs profitable, and on others unpro
fitable as it may suit their convenience and
interest.
Mr. Chairman, we arc not represented on
this subject in Congress. As strange as this
proposition may appear, it is nevertheless
true. Our delegates have no more influence
in passing these laws, than they have in pass
ing the corn laws of England. There isadead
majority against them, and on this subject
they are.forcvcr voted down. No, wo cannot
be beard in this matter: if heard, we are told
that we are mistaken, that we know not what
is for our interest, receiving insult upon in
jury. We are not privileged to say what a
iiiount of taxes we will pnv, a right nftt deni
ed to even to British subjects. The principle
involved in the Revolutionary struggle, when
' tne American philosopher wqs op his ejanii.
j nation before the British F rliamc-nt, lie was
f as *ked, who had the right to tax the American
[ colonies, the colonies themselves or the Eng
lish government, without answering the ques
tion, he replied “that those who paid the tax
es could best judge.”
Mr. Chairman, 1 have now but a few more
remarks to make,it isaltogether unnecessary
(or us longer to look to Congress for a redress
of our gricvauces;as long as we are the willing
victims ot this nefarious policy, we may ex
pect its continuance. U lien in the history
of the world, did ever an interested legisla
tive majority, disregard or in any wise neg
lect their own interests ? Or when did the
nabobs and wealthy lords of an v country with
out a struggle, let go their hold on the people?
ilie people must take this matter into their
own hands; they alone can dress their wrongs.
How reluctantly did the Lords ef England
give up the Reform Bill? The people had
first to declare that they would pay no more
taxes until that Bill should pass. Would the
Lords, think you, Mr. Chairman, have yield
ed if the people had resolved no longer to
submit ? And can wc calcula c an a different
course in this country. All a delusion ? The
Manufacturers, conscious of their numerical
strength, laugh at our complaints, “and "will
mock when our fear corneth.” An observer of
the proceedings of the late session of Con
gress must have discovered that future delay
is inevitable ruin. It is high time, that the
people of the South should take their stand,
they will soon have to decide one of the most
important questions that ever came up be
fore theru—yea, the question now before them
is whether they will be freemen or slaves . It
is useless to disguise the fact; if one portion
of this Confederacy has the right to load at
pleasure, another, with any amount of bur
thens, in what do wc differ from a despotism ?
Ibis right has been claimed and exercised by
an interested majority in Congress for the
last twelve years, (slavery does not so much
consist in having our master at our heels, as
jin being controlled bv him, and in his receiv
ing the profits of our labor and the earnings
of our industry. •
. Mr. Chairman, constitutions are for the pro
tection ot minorities; majorities can protect
themselves. Ours has been annihilated, and
is now totally disregarded. We are at the
mercy of those whom seem to have no mercy
so far as the constitution is concerned. Are
we prepared to submit; if we are, let us adopt
Col. Jourdan’s substitute; if not, let us adopt
the preamble and resolutions submitted from
Uie Committee. We have nothing to fear
Convention of the people. Cun we not
trust ourselves ? Wo can instruct those we
elect, we can say to them that we are even
for submission if you choose, or we can tell
them that we are for reistance, and what kind
of resistance. Have we not the right to judge
whether we arc oppressed or not! Or will
Gentlemen leave the question, to be deter
mined by those whose interest it is to oppress
us. According to the system of our govern
ments all power eininatcs from the people.
They can change, alter or abolish the govern
ment at pleasure; they can institute new ones
better suited to their convenience, safety and
happiness. For ours, I have confidence in
the wisdom and integrity of the. people. I be
lieve they are capable of “ wise self-govern
ment,’’and I for one, am willing to trust them
in Convention. Gentlemen can not certain
ly be sincere when they denounce the pro
tection system as unconstitutional, oppressive
and yea, more ruinous to the South and pro
less their entire confidence in the competen
cy of the people to judge in all mutters in
volving their liberty and safety and then ex
press their fears of the determination of that
same people in convention. I.et Uie appre
hensions of others *he what they inav, I feel
perfectly willing to trust, them on this or any
other occasion. If they say resist, I say re
sist, and I will yield tny particular mode of
resistance for any other they may devise. If
they say submit, be it so, my hand and voice
shall be forever raised against any such ini
quitous Oppression, as the present system of
legalized plunder. Though, if in the mino
rity, I can do nothing, yet, permit me here be
fore this assembly arid before my God, to
make an eternal pledge not to fold my arms
while life last, in silence, until the Southern
States are relieved from this odious bill of n
bominations, I deem it altogether unnecessa
ry to trouble you Mr. Chairman, with my fa
vorite mode of redressing our grievances un
der unconstitutional enactments of Congress.
1 will most cheerfully support any mode, the
collective wisdom and patriotism of the Stale
may adopt. But on this subject, I have no
thing to conceal; my particular views have
been long known on this subject to you—
whenever occasion required it, I have avowed
them freely, fully and frankly. I avowed
my sentiments last year, when you had a right
to know them, they arc the same now. To my
mind Nullification has always appeared a haz
ardous measure. A measure that would more
than likely involve the people in consequen
ces, not anticipated by them. For a state to
declare an act of Congress null and void, in
my humble opinion would be a nullity of it
self. But if our sister Slate, should pursno it
as her remedy against the same evil of which
we are complaining, let us- not quarrel with
her about it. %llow her the same liberty we
claim for ourselves, that is of judging of in
fractions of the constitution, as well as of the
mode and measure of redress. We well re
member how unkindly gentlemen viewed the
interference of South Caroiina in our difficul
ties with the Federal Government during “25
and 20.” And will these'same gentlemen
follow the example, they so much condemned
in another. I hope not. The Southern States
must and will sooner or later do something to,
remove the inequality and oppression of the
Protective S stem, And my word for it, they
will not much longer quarrel about the reme
dy; tlieonly enquiry will he as to the disease,
and any remedy will answer, that will prove
effectual.
I would not Mr. Chairman, suggest the par
ticular time when tins State should defini
tively act. On this all important subject, I will
[leave that to be decided by the Convention.
Now in eodclusion, permit me to appeal to
the patriotism of this very respectable meet
ing in behalf of the friends of calm tleltbera
i lion. Let us not forget the solemnity of the
occasion, which lias called us together. Let
us not suffer private, personal or party consid
erations to influence us in a matter so mo
mentous. Let us, as brothers, unite, or aS
triends honestly differ. And let - none of our
differences of opinion, interrupt our former
ntercourse and friendship.

paid at hand—Twenty Dollars the season, to be
paid at any time within the season—and Thirty
Dollars for insurance, to l>e paid as soon us the
marc may he ascertained to be in foal, or trans
ferred from the possession of the person who en
gages her; 50 cents to the groom, in hand, for ev

first of November. The next Spring season will
commence on die first of March, at his present
stand. Any’gentleman becoming responsible for
the seas’oti of five mares may have tl.e season of
a sixth gratis. Good pasturage will be provided
gratis, for mates sent from a distance; they will
he fed with grain at 25 cents per day. Every care
will be taken to prevent accidents or escapes—
but the proprietors of the horse will not be res
ponsible for any that occur. It is our expecta
tion to make the present stand of Quidnunc a
immanent one—and every effort will be made to
do justice to those who may encourage bis servi
ces. QUIDNUNC is a rich blooded bay, with
black legs, mane and tail, fifteen hands three in
ches high, six.years old, next spring, of fine ac
tion, bone and hair.
QUIDNUNC has been purchased at Balti
more, on high recommendation, with a view to
improve the stock of Southern horses. His high
origin justifies the expectation that this object
may be accomplished. He was gotten by the
full-blooded imported Arahian Bagdad (who was
sold in New York for(|8,000,) out of the famous
thorough-bred mare ltosa Carey, by Sir Archy—
Rosa’s dam was Sally Jones, by the imported
Wrangler—be by Diotned, sire of Sir Arclicy—
having two directcrosses of the Archy blood with
thorough Arabian blood. His pedigree is not
only first rate, but authentic. See American Turf
Register, Nov. 1831, page 152 : It is presumed
that Quidnunc has the essential properties of a
racer— for he was entered for the “American Stal
lion sweep stakes,” against all stallions in that

acknowledge his power : to make confession of
sinsj to ask their forgiveness: td supplicate
His mercy, and deprecate His wrath :
And a righteous God having seen fit to visit
many parts of our country with a most destruc
tive pestilence, the distructive ravages of which,
we have every reason to apprehend, will ere long
visit this State :—And believing as I do, that, the
impending Judgments of flim, who despiseth
not the contrite heart, call for devout humiliation
and prayer, on the part of us his offending crea
tures ; I have therefore thought proper, at this
alarming crisis, respectfully to recommend to
the inhabitants of this State, unitedly, to set
apart THURSDAY the 20th day of September
next, as a day for religious exercises ; especially
fasting, humiliation and prayer; to entreat the
Disposer of events, that this awful Pestilence
may he averted from, us, or that in case He, in
his infinite wisdom and righteousness, should
see fit to afflict us with it, that it may, by His
power and goodness, he so abundantly sanctified
and blessed to us, as to teach us, by its afflicting
illustrations, the uncertainty of human life, and
“ so to number our days, that we may apply our
our hearts unto wisdom.”
In testimony whereof I have hereunto Set my
hand at the State-House in Milledgeville,
this 30th day of August, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand eight hundred and
thirty-two, and of American Independence
the fifty-seventh.

/DHE people of Georgia are much in want of i
i medium of intelligence which will prompt '•>
transmit to timm the “Proceedings” of their Le
gislature. We are not only generally, but ind
vidually concerned in all acts of legislation, be
cause these acts involve personal as well as pot.
Heal rights, between which there oxists a most in-'
tiinate connexion. It is the interest tfion, of ev
ery man in tho community to be timely acquaint
ed with the action of our representatives upon
these rights. This is a desideratum—to supply
which the Journal is intended. At the present
>ve labor under much inconvenience for the want
of it. For near, and sometimes more than threo
months after the expiration of the Session, th.
Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are r
a “spaled Book” to the great mass of the people ;
and frequently, such aro the injurious effects pro
duced by this delay, that men have been known,
who, in obediepee to a preceding, have actual 1 . /
violated a subsequent )a\v which had been revers
ed or modified—not knowing that a new had been
substituted for an old law.
In addition to the entire proceedings of the Leg -
islature, the Journal and History, will conta; a
the general intelligence of the day, and its inte
rest will be increased by faithful reports of tl. t
transactions of the important Redress Conven
tion of Georgia, which contemplates sitting in
Milledgeville, tbeensuingsession. Tho Debati s
in the Convention, as well as those in tho Legi■
lature, will be regularly and correctly reported ;
for which purpose arrangements are making with
a capable and experienced Stenographer.
The Journal and History of tiie Times, will
be published daily, and the Legislative and Con
ventional Proceedings of each day laid in ewtenro
before the public on tho subsequent morning, and
immediately transmitted to any part of the Statu
to which tho paper may be ordered.
The large and interesting mass of information
which this Publication will contain, and the great
expense which must be incufred to carry it into
operation will require a liberal patronage, and
such a patronage the editor Hatters himself will
be extended to him.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience
and important utility of such a publication to
members of the Legislature, in enabling them to
ascertain immediately-the precise 6tate of any
measure in which they are interested and to keep
their constituents advised of the progress of pub
lic business, without the abstraction of time and
attention from their special duties, expended in
letter writing.
Termß-7'/ic Journal and History of the Times
will be published daily with anew type, by ma
chinery, to be expressly procured for the purpose
and on good paper, and will be put to subscribe s
at tho price of Five Dollars per session, payable
on the reception of the first number.
(£j* Those to whom subscription lists will be
sent are respectfully asked to lend tbeir exertions
and influence to the undertaking, and to make a
return of any subscribers which may be obtained,
by the 10(A day of October. They are particular
ly requested to do so, that the Editor may be en
abled to make the proper arrangements, and to
furnish promptly the first numbers to each sub
scriber.

I HAVE now in the hands of the Engraver,
. which will be completed by the first ol‘ Nov
ember next, a general and accurate Map of Chc
rokeo country, drawn from the returns of the Dis
trict Surveyors. Owing to the great number of
Lots, into which the country has been divided,
particularly the Gold Region, and the large di
mension of the sheet it will require, to have all
those numbers distinctly and accurutely laid
down, I have thought it advisable to form the
Map into separate and detached Sections, whieht
I designed as Gold Map and Land Map.
All the Land Districts in the Territory are laid
down on one sheet, and constitute a distinct and
separate Map by themselves.
The districts reserved and surveyed as Gold
Districts, are divided into three sheets of Maps,
Districts No 1,2, 3,4, 5, 11,12,13, 14, and 10,
of the First Section, from the first Map.
Districts No. 1,2, 3, 14, 15, lfi, 17, 18, 19.
20, 21, and 22 of the Second .Section, form the se
cond Map.
Districts No 1,2, 3,4, 17, 13, 19, 20,21, and
22, of the Third Section, and Districts No. I, 2,
3, 10, and 17 of the Fourth section form the Third
Map. On these maps will be found each Dis
trict in the Territory, with every square Lot ot
Land and Fraction distinctly laid down and num
bered—all Mountains, Rivers, Creeks, Branches,
Kerries &c are correctly and faithfully delineated.
The Map will he handsomely engraved, print
edon strong silk paper, colored and put up in mo
rocco cases at the following prices, viz :
Land Map, $5 0O
Gold Maps f3 50 each or for three $lO 00
