PROSPECTUS, For publishing at Columbus, Ga. a Political and Miscellaneous Newspaper, to be entitled tU DEMOCRA i'. In presenting to tho puolic Ins Pros pectus for anew paper at Columbus, the subscriber does not deem it necessary or expedient to go into a minute detail of his political docilities, or of bis particular views in regard to the various topics which now engage public attention. He pre sumes that his character as an editor is too well known in Georgia to allow him to gain credit among any party, with mere professions and empty promises. Tho public will be npt to look to the past in lor tning their estimate of the futuie, and by that ordeal is he willing to be died. In the numerous political discussions, which tho events of the and iy have called lortli, Ins opinions of men and things have been free ly expressed, and aie doubtless familiar to many of those to whom lie now looks for patronage and support. Those who have hitherto approved of his sentiments and been satisfied with the manner in which ho has urged them, will, he trusts, still con tinue their confidence, without the renew al of pledges, or a formal confession of faith. In reference however to tho present state of parties, he begs leave to remain, that he trusts the absence of all political exritoment, will prove propitious to the cause of truth; and that now all parties, by whatever names they may have been dis tinguished, will be permitted to labor for tho general welfare, unobstructed by tlte jealousy, or tho rancor of by-gone feuds. The undersigned will endeavor to extend Still further this cordiality of feeling, and to allay the occasional symptoms of exacerb ation to which a warmly contested election may give rise; and in this, and whatever else he may undertake for the purpose of advancing the prosperity of the slate, he w ill count on the cordial co-operation of every good citizen, however they may have previously differed on points of polit ical faith. Attached to the doctrines of tlte Revolu tion, and holding in high veneration the memory of those heroes and sages by whom our liberties were achieved, and our present admirable form of govorn'oent es tablished, the subscriber will endeavor to manifest the sincerity of his prof* ssions, by exciting a feeling of attachment to the Union, and encouragine an entire cortfi deuce in the institutions of our country. He will inculcate the doctrine that it is bettor to bear a slight aud temporary evil, against which we have a constitutional remedy, than to hazard all for which our fathers fought and so many martyrs labor* ad and bled. He will not iu any respect, overlook or disregard the rights or the in terests of his own state; vet he must always view particular rights and interests, as re latively connected with others, and he will never consent to tie sacrifice of a greuter for a lesser good. The subscriber will endeavor to make The Democrat a vehicle of general intelli gence, and an interesting periodical to the gentleman of literature, the agriculturalist, die merchant and the mechanic.

THE MERCHANT AND THE BLIND MAN. “ Fact—not fable. ” — HUlcik. O oil Vi b Was boru at Edinburgh, in Scot ! land, ami ored a watchmaker. Being wrec ked in l,ii fortunes, his eye-sight gone, mid | w '*° >1 bn resolved to quit his native j country and seek for uaw friends in the city jof London The sister of bis deceased! ' wife requested that site might take Ins only i , chiM, an inf tut, and adopt it us her mvn ; lie ! consented, and she called the child Julia, i Olivia soon prepared to bid adieu to Scot- | laud ; and that he might have a companion ' in his in slot tunes, he bought a dog, named him Pompey, and put a biass collar ou his 1 , neck, with these words, in large letters en- I graven upon it, “ Pompey asking aims for Ins blind master.’’ j 1 bus ( quipped, Ogilvio and Pompey set out on their journey, and arrived at the Red Lion iuu. on the twentieth of June. 1 he next day Ogilvie was conducted to the I parish of Si. Giles, where he took lodgings ' , at two shillings and sixpence per week, i Being now settled, his host accompanied liini&ponipey to the piazzi of Covent-gar deu mealre, where, by tno side of the pil lars, lie took nis stand This situation lie occupied on all busiuess days for upwards of eighteen years. Ogilvte a custom was novel to speak, but always to hold his hat in his hand, with Pompey by his side. \Vnon any person dropped money into the hat he made a bow, but never uttered a word, unless ho was first spoken to, and then Ins answer generally was “ yes “ or “ no.” Mr. Lovel, a merchant in iho West In dia trade, whose counting-rooms were at old City Champers, and his dwelling in Soho Square, was in the daily habit of pas sing unuer tho piazz i. One afternoon, ob serving the blind man aud his dog, he stop ped, and taking hold of the collar, read aloud the inscription. Ho then addressed the blind man thus, “Piny tell ini’, sir, by what means you lost your sight:!’ “By that scourge of mankind, the small pox ” he answeid Lovel, putting a ono pound note into his Innd, bid him good afternoon, aud walked ; off. On his way home, his thoughts dwelt on what he had just seen atid heard, which filled his bosom with doep soirow ; and what aided to create greater sympathy for I the blind man in the mind ot Lovel, was i I the circumstance of his having, only six i j mouths previously, lost his own wife by the j , same disorder, leaving him and his little son ! ! John, then six years of age, to bemoan her \ untimely death. That very night Lovel resolved that lie would ever after, either hi going info tho city or on returning to Ins house, throw into tho blind man's hat a shilling or more, and for eighteen years he ! kept liis determination. Dating tins lime Mr Lovel was prosperous in busiuess, he gave liis son a collegiate education, bred at the Temple, aud lie became a distiu- , guished barrister. The earl of Derby having employed the young barrister in a suit of consequence, in j which the interest of the crowu was concern.' ed, on the trial of the cause the principle : contended for by the young barrister was 1 argued with so much ability and eloquence, that the result proved fovourable to his client. The information of the facts com- i ing to the ear of the King, his majesty was i pleased to confer ou him the honour of i knighthood. Mr. Lovel had occasion to apply to the l underwriters at Lloyd’s, to effect an tusui* ; ; anco on a largo ship and its cargo, of great | value, bound to London from the island of { Jamaica. But a letter of advice had been received that morning at Lloyd’s, stating i i the total loss of his vessel aud all on board in a hurricane, the day after she sailed from port. Tnis information was overwhelming, < nd druvo Mr. Level almost to despair, j Ho called his creditors together, and pare litem a just and truo account of his affairs; he told them that he could pay them ten j shillings in the pound, by delivering up all his property, which he was ready to do. The creditors cheelully accepted his offer, and executed to him a general release. Five years previous to the failure of Mr. Lovel, a most singular and extraordinary occurrence happoued to the advancement of Mr. fortune. A celebrated duchess of Picadilly, with a few friends, one evening attended Covent-garden thea tre, to hear Kotzebue's play of Pizirro, which had been adapted to the English stage by Mr. Sheridan Wheu the amuse ments were ended, her grace on leaving the liouso, and just as she was stepping in to her carriage, discovered that 3he had dropped from her finger a diamond riug, of the value of twelve hundred guineas She instantly proclaimed her loss, with an offer of lifty guineas to any person who might find it. Ogilvie, who stood near, and heard all that had been said, requested Iter grace to extend her hand and let Pompey see the finger on which she wore the ring, to which instantly complied, and then drove off for her palace. In less than two horns after all was quiet in and abut the theatre, and the flambeaux in the vicinity were extinguished, Pompey found the ring, delivered it to his master, who early next morning went to the palace of her grace, who received him with joy and gladness. On Ogilvie’s presenting her the ring she offered him the fifty guineas, as promised, bu* he wholly refused receiving the m mey. She then gave him a half ticket in the lot tery then drawing. Ogilvie accepted the ticket, thanked her, bul het good morning, and returned to his stand iu the piazz t. Eight days after (his interview tho ticket drew a prize of twenty thousand pounds. The money he deposited m tue bauds of Mr. Newland, president oi the bank o; COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 39, IS3O. Eogl md, made that gentleman his confi duut agent, and hanker, and the public were ignorant of his good luck, as well as tha duchess of Piccadilly, who did not know the Hour hr r. Ogilvio si S continued in his old pUro uy* . der tiie piazz r; his friend the merchant ns ! usual, day by day, dropped his shilling into j »'6 nit, until the whirlwind came, and ail toe treasures of this man of humanity were | drowned ; were sunk in the bottom of the j ycean. I bus driven by mi fortunes Mr. : Lovel had to a baudon iiis walk ui.d r the ptazz r, and nui not passed that way in fif | twen days. Tliis circumstance very much larnieJ the mind of Ogilvie ; ho felt that lie could not bo mistaken, because he knew his voicp, and could distinguish lid walk from th.it of all other pc.sous. Fortunately ho knew hi3 name. ‘I w) |j not a moment,’ said Ogilvie, “to search out and find my friend! my bent factor ! Perhaps that Wene/oleut man may now stand in need of the v ry charity which he has so lung aud so bountifullv bestowed on me I” He prepared himself with money, called a hackney coach, and drovo direct to the house of the merchant, in Soho square. Oil his arrival Mr. Lovel was not a little confused, and began to apoligise for having neglected nim so long, but observed there was a cause. “ I hope yt e will pardon mo, sir,” said the blind in in, “ for tho liberty I have ta ker, when I assure you that I am actuated by the purest motives of gratitude, in com ing to inquire the cause of your absenting yourself from the piuzziT” “ I believe you, sir,’’ answerd Level. ‘‘l shall most willingly give you the pir lictilars of my losses and misfortunes,"which he fully related. As lie ended, Mr. Ogilvie put into Mr L 'vel’s hand two bank notes each five thousand pounds, -vliicli he had that mor ning received of his agont, Mr. Newland, and requested his acceptance of tiie money as a token of his affection and gratitude, ob. serving, tit tho same time, “I do not my friend, consider this sum suficient lodis chrge tho debt I owe you ; hut I hope it will enable you to commence business again; and be assnred, I shall seek every oppor tunity to do y:u good all the days of my life.” 1 So saying he departed, and went to ni« stand in the piazza. Mr. Lovel com menced busmens de novo, and in a little time he stood as the first West India mer chant on the royal exchange. Tlte following season Sir John (the sot of Mr. Lovel) visited the city B rth, being tho scene of summer amusements for tin people of fashion, and at that time w<- principally crowded with company of ilr nobility and gentry from all parts of Eu rope. While at Bath, Sir John be cam. acquainted with Li.iy Eiskiue, ftotn Edin burgh, and her ladyship introduced him to Julia, whom she hid arlooleJ as her own daughter on the death of Julia’s aunt, which happ .ed two years before, Julia was the most celebrated beauty and belle of Scot land. The expression of her countenance, the exquisito propriety of her stature, and tiie exact symmetry of her shape, attracted and fixed the admiration of Sir John. In her air, walk, and gesture, she mingled dignity with grace. Her eyes, which were !of a dark giov, “unke the great sensibility 'of her mind, and the sound of her voice was like the sweetest music. Sir John was ; a man of sterling integrity, deep learning, ! mildness of temper, aud greatness of soul j At the assembly he had the good fortune of : having Julia for a partner in the dance, and the next day he met her at the Font. The nectar of tiie waters of these wells, as Beau N ish, tlte old king of ceremonies al B ttb, used.to say, produced . pulsation of the heart v hich ” C’no but lovers feel.’ Sir John declared Iris passion for Julia, and , became her accepted lover, and the consent of Lady Erskiua to their union was readily obtained. The next day they set off for London ' On her arrival, Lady Erskine took the lov ers with her direct to iho pal ice of her grace the duchess in Piccadilly, who re ceived them with open arms. When she was informeo of the intentions of Sir John and Julia, she insisted on their being mar riod at h r palace, as soon as the parlies had made their arrangements, and so it was seitled. The next day Mr. Ogilvie, the father of Julia, and Mr. Lovel tiie fa ther of John, met at the palace, when tiie lovely Julia for the first time iu hnr life had the happiness of seeing her father On her being introduced to him the old man lost power of utterance. Copious tears was shed, and the scene was ludy affect ing, although it was a joyous meeting to them and all the company present. Mr. Ogilvie gave his full cousem to Julia’s u nion with Sir John, and settled on her ten thousand pounds' Mr Lovel settled on Sir John an elegant house in Golden Squat e of tho value of ten thousand pouuds, aud gave him twenty thousand pounds in niouoy. Sir John aud Julia insisted that their fathers should retire from business, and live with them iu Golden Squire, and that Pompey should accompany them, to which they consented. Her grace gave them n most splendid wedding, j—st before the ceremony Com menced, which was performed by the Lord Bishop of Loudon, us a token of love and esteem, she put on the finger of Julis the diamond ring which her father and Pompey had found at the theatre, A’.

No sooner did the Jews hear this ihatt they fasted, put on sackcloth, and en treated one of the ’hief tabbi’a to prevail on the king to alter bis tnieoiicux As, how ever he was inflexible, the rabbi, whose name was Elitzi- .allied if he would give him ten days time, and allow him to pay a visit to the court every day. To this ilie king acceded. Accordingly Eluzer came to see the emperor the next day; but he looked very much dejected and grieved, which the king observing, inquired the cause. To this Eliczer a lowered, “Before I left, some sr-ingeis called, who insisted I should settle some affairs fur them which 1 know to bo out of my power, and ou toy begging them tiol to trouble uie, they depar ted.” ‘Should they return to molest you” s iid the emperor’ “let me kuow.” And Eliezer having offered his thanks, retired.— The following day Eltezer said to one of his servants, “Take a cane iu your hand and give me twenty stripes over my face, week and shoulders.” At this (lie servant was astonished, and refused to punish so good a master, but at length, as the com mand could not be evaded, he obeyed, and the blood trirkled down the rabbi's body who immediately had liis wounds dressed, and in tliis woful plight returned to the pal ace. As soon as ho entered the king in quired what had befallen him? “The two brothers I ItavP named before,” said Elie- Zer, “returned, and wished me to arbitrate between them, I told them I would do so as far as lay in my power, aud asked them what they wished me to do. They inquired if I were not a judge of diamonds; I told them I was.

He who acts tnus is worthy of death!”— “Stop, O King,” replied Eliezer; ‘thou an the man! H >st thou not issued a decree as to the two religions God has given to the world? Hast thou not threatened death to those who do decide between them? And who can tell which is best until the end of time?’* - Bril. Mag. A Singular Adventure. —Once upon a ’time a traveller stept into post coach. Ho was a young man just starting in life. Ue found six passengers about him, all of them grey headed and extremely aged men. The youngest appeared to have seen at least eighty winters. Our young traveller was struck with tiie mild «nd si g daily happy aspect which distinguished ail his fellow passengers and determined to ascer tain the secret of long life and the art of making old age comfortable. H- first ad dressed the one who was the oldest, who told him that he hid always led a regular and abstemious life, eating vegitables and dricking water. Tho young man was ta thbr daunted at this inasmuch as he liked the good things of this life —Ho addressed the second who astonished him by saying, that he had always eat roast beef and gone to bed regularly fuddled for seventy years —adding that ail depended on regula'ily. The third lie pr> longed Ins days by never seeking or excepting office—the fourth by rosoiutely abstainig ftotn all political and religious controversies, and tlte fifth by grting to otd at suusel and rising at dawn. The sixth was apparently much younger than theothor five—his hair was less grey and there was more of it—a placid smile denoting a perfectly easy conscience in ant tied his face, and his voice was jocund and strong. They were all surprised to learn shat he was by ten years the oldest man in the coach. “ How,” exclaimed our young traveller, “how is it that you have thus pre served the freshness of life—where there is one wrinkle on your brow there are fif teen on that of each and every one of your juniors—tell me, I pi ay, your secret of life »” ‘ltis no great mystery” said- the old man “I have drank water and «ine I have eat meat and vegetables—l have held a public office—l have dabbled in pol itics aud written religious pamphlets—l have sometimes gone to bed at sunset, and sometimes at iniduiglit, got up at sun rise and at noon—But I always paid fur my newspaper !

In the ealy part us the year, gold w as discover ed in great quantities iu the Indian lands. The act of IctlW, having fixod U]«oa the first of .Inno, ns the time when the laws were to be extended over that part ot tho State, all persons reamed to con sider themselves at lil . rty in the mean ’.me. to appropriate as much of its mineral riches t. the,:i* sclvos as possible Tho whole community be came very much ox ited. Tho profit-- of those engaged in searching for gold, very very great.— The love of gain, ulw ays one of the sir ngost pas sions became sti a lated to exco-s Al! classes cf people but especially tiie idle and profligate, plea sed into the mineral rongion, with the hone of ac quiring great wealth with little lalsir. The thou sands of persons thus colloetedt ogetlier, all opera ted upou by ii.atiyes which lead to the most of tbs disorders of society, and freed from those re. straiuts which the laws imposed upon tho civil dipositions of men, exhibited a scene of vicious in diligence; violence and fraud, which would not have been t.delated for a moment, if the means could have been used to prevent it. The Indian right of occupancy was wholly disregarded. The Indians themselves were n t even permitted to have an equal enjoyment of the riches of the earth, which circumstances had thus for a time made Common to all. 7he Cherokee government, of the importance of which to the Imliidis so much has been lately said, proved utterly powerless to protect anv rights, or punish any wrongs. The magnitude of the evil was such that it became a matter of consideration, whether the Legislature should not be called togolhvr to pr. vide fir it some proper remedy At this time the bill for tbo removal of tin; Ciierokoea beyond the Mississippi, was depending hnfnrd Congress. The Govern ment of the United States was, for iho first time, earnestly endeavoring to execute the contract of ISOM The manner proposed was lielieved t«> ha tho only practical one, Consistent with humanity to the Indians, and justice to Georgia. Unfa In nately for the country, tho opposition to tho Ad ministration determined to make the proposed 10- moval of tho Indians u parly question The facta connected .. irh the subject were found to be so far removed from iho knowledge of the people, a* to afford ample opportunity for tlte instruments of party strife to mislead the public judgment. It was considered proper net to call the Legislature together, until tin result of this extraordinary struggle in Congress w’as known A h q>e was also eutoitained. that when tho laws n( the State want into operation, our citizens would be disp ed to respect their authority ; and such would probably have oeen the case had not a largei num ber of the persons engaged in searching fur gold been from other States. Tlioir refusal preveotod the obedience of the people of this State. Before information was received of the Indian bill, the U- States' troo-.s had. in Ibe mifbi.:c<itent of the r.on intercoursc law, lemoved all persons, whether fiom this or other Stales i 3 intruders upon the Indian lands. Although the most confident opin ion was entertained, that the Ifri-ted Statos' troops hid no such authority, its exercise was so beneficial for the time, that no opposition was made to it. The correspondence with the I'rsei dent and War Department, will explain more ful ly the opinion and policy of the Executive upon this subject The calling of the legislature together at an unusual time, is so inconvenient to the niemliera anti an expensive l<> the people, that the design of doing so was relinquished, fr m the belief that it might not be necessary On the hist of J-ino tho laws of the sta'c wee declared n force over the ( hcrolteo country by public proclamation A distinct proclamation was at the same time issu ed dec.aring the light of the late to all the g M. and other valuable minerals, in its ngranvd lands occupied by the indians The right thus asserted was supposed to he established t y tho Customary law of all the Euro lean nations, who made discoveries, or forme ■ colonies on the con tinent, by tho fee simple or allodial title which be longs to the stale, to all lands within its limits, not already gianted away; and tho absence of all right in the indians. ’hoy never having appro I priated ihc mineral riches ofihe earth to their own use. Immediately after the issuing of this proc lamation, a competent and faithful agent was ap pointed, with directious to prcscri e the rights, thus asserted, from violation by all tho means which the tonus nl tho law and the nroccsß oft lie courts would sanction This dot' was rninptlyr attended to and although it was known that oc casionally mam persons were engaged in taking gold, yet it was hoped that the efforts of the agent and the foice of the United States' troops, would finally prevail in stopping them, if not entirely, at least so fur as to prevent the necessity of result ing to other means; nor was this opinion chanced until it became tc.o late to call a session of the last Legislature Tho Militia would have been employed in projecting tho rights of ihe Statu to the gold, and removing tho e who were trespas sing upon that right. If!he constitution and laws had given nre that authority The law which attached different portions of the Cherokee Ter ritory to several counties, so as to include tho whole wit bin the organized limits of the Statu, contained no prohibition against white persons mingling with the Indian population, or entering upon the lands occupied by them, neither had a ny law ofihe Sta e made it criminal to take min erals from such lands The gold diggers were, therefore, neither subject to arrest or anv oth.ir criminal process. Under such circumstances, if an attempt, had been made to remove them hy the use of extreme force, should death have ensued, it would have been mu del in the uctors If or ders had not been given to use that kind of force, the employment ol ilie militia would have been worse than useless. The Governor, however, has no power over the militia, except in cases of insurrection invasion, nr the probable prospect thereof. Hut, if I had been invosted w.tli ample authority to have called out the militia, and tho intruders had gro sly violated the penal statuses, or trespassed upon tho acknowledged nghis of tho State in its possession, yet no apprnpriali n of money had been made by law by which I could have armed, equipped, and supported, for a sinirlo day, a sufficient body of mill■ is to have effected the desired object. Ferhips the public interest would liavo boon advanced, if the Legislature hid been called together, as *»on ns it was discovered ttda the Executive power was insufficient to pro tect the public property One advantage, howev er, we have tho right to expect from the course which has been pursued. All persons every whore must l.e now convinced of the nocc-sity which impels the Slate to exori iso jmi nlictioa over its Indian territory not only tor thn protec tion of the property of the State, hu' the rights of the Idinns. and that the < Ihcrokeo Govern merit, if it had b on permitted to exist, would have been wholly incompetent, under present circumstances, to discharge any ot the dutios fur winch govern monte a o organized.
