I appear before you upon the present | occtrsion with no other apology, than the i right which every citizen enjoys, to claim from the proper tribunal, a redress ofliis grievances. A base and insidious attempt having been made in the Athenian, a ncwspajrer published in Athens, ostensibly edited nv O. I*. Shaw, to wound my feelings and character, and to insult the public in the person of one of its citizens, leaves me no alternative between the abandonment of iny own rights and honor, and a direct candid appeal to the paramount tribunal of public opinion—To that tribunal I cheerfully submit, with ail undoubtijig confidence in its wisdom and justice. I speak of Mr, Shaw as the ostensible editor of the Athenian, because I consider him the mere irstniment of those who stand Irehind the curtain, and direct his move ments. The plot referred to, presented | itself in the Athenian of the 21 inst. in I the form of a Circular over my name an nouncing to the people of Georgia, that I th<> writer was not a candidate for the I office of Governor ; and the editorial re marks which preceded it, were, 1 have no doubt, intended to convey the idea that i was the author, and, consequently no longer a candidate. Outlie morning of the day ort which 1 the paper was issued, I addressed a note to the ostensible editor, which was deliv ered to him by rnv friend Col. William 11. T orrairce, demanding the author and object of the publication, and wherher | the editorial remarks which preceded it, | were intended to personate me, or to con ! vey to the public that I was its author. To lies demand Mr. M; uv replied, that | Mr. Thomas H.iosof Gainesville, was the author. Cos! Torrance then demnn ed a sight of the manuscript, when 3!r. J Shaw refused to produce it. lie their asked Mr. Shaw if Mr. Haynes ofG.iines j vdle wrote it, to which Shaw after some ! hesitation and equivocation, replied that | lie did not. Col. Torrance thci pressed j him for the name of the author, stating i that he did not believe he, Shaw wrote it, and that in thus urging him to give up the j author, he was in search of higher game, i To tiris Mr. Shaw answered, that the liu j thor would be there that evening <a the j • next morning, when he would confer with j him and give an answer. Ho was finally j asked by Col. Torrance, whether the uu- I thor was a respectable and ivponsdde j man, and answered in the affirmative.— j Here the matter rested until about 8 o’- clock that evening, when 1 received a note from 51r. Shaw denying any further right to enquire, and throwing me back to Tlio uas lines of Gainesville, us the author. It can hardly he necessary to advance anv argument, to shew the dishonorable intentions o! the parties to tins transaction. A paper is published purpoting to hear inv name, and ni Flouncing that the author is not a c.ind.d ite for the ofllce, for which I haw been fur several months an avowed c tndif! itc —wdien the pnlilishcr is called iinon, ho suvs it conies from Thomas H ines of (i linest die—when asked to shew the manuscript, he says .Mr. Hanes did tint write if, but that it was writen by a respectable atid responsible man, and that upon a conference with the author, he would give an answer-to niv note, and the inquiries of Col. Tor*ance; but the only ! answer given, was tantamount to the dec ' hration that T tniist look alone to Thomas H ines of Gainesville. If the transaction was intended for fair and honest purposes, tlie author would have taken pleasure iti removing any imputation from the char acter of the man whose name he Imd pro fessed to used, and any unfavorable im pression upon my mind, as to the purpose for which lie had so used it. But there is another consideration which goes to shew the intention of the parties to this dark transaction — the name of the citizen of Gainesville, which is assumed as the basis of the vilest subterfuge, is not written as mine—that name is known to be written Hanes, and is ns essentially different from the name attached to the Athenieii Circu lar, ns was the name of its unprincipled fabricator. But here I take leave of Mr. Shaw and that other invisible gentleman of respect able and responsible character, and till o ther aiders and abettors in this w icked plot, with the single remark, that while holding them up to public execration, they can best determine, to which of them be longs the largest portion of contempt. But if this was the .only instance in which a similar spirit had been manifes ted towards me—if it stood an isolated in stance of unfeeling and unmanly conduct ! towards me. it would even then require the ! exercise of that charity which hopeth and lx lieveth hll things, to stamp it with a tn’lder epithet, than that of malicious and mischievous foilv. I wish for the honor <> r tlie press, and the dignity of human nature it were the case; but similar de j ministrations iri various quarters, all : breathing the same relentless spirit, are «< il calculated to excite in my rnind, the irrenstahlc conviction, that a combination has been formed to put me down right or j wrong. Aml whence comes this opposi- Yrri, or more properly thin persecution! j Let the Troup party answer this question. lielore 1 proceed further let me mak< a .-hurt reference to ihe course of two oilier public journals towards me, since m\ name has Ih en before the p. u, le as a can didate lor the office ot Govci'i.or, to show the spirit which has actuated lire op.no- - tion to my election. I allude to tie Washington News and the Gear *i i Cour ier, both warm and decide.! supporters <>. ’lie present incumbent, i was denounced in the News as the candidate of an aris tocracy, and vituperated accordingly.— AA ill the editor ot the News he kind e iiough to designate a few of those aristo crats to whom he Iras alluded 1 If he knew them, and is faithful to it s trust; be will hold them up to public execration; He can not find them, at least among inv suppor ters, and he knows it, and if he does not, he may vet discover even through tlieob tusitv of bis own mental twilight, that a mong those who honor me with their su;r [•ort, there are to he found very few wht> sit in high places. No, fellow-citizens, there is no professiorshipofaristocracy in the College where I graduated. The plough and the hatchet are not. imple ments w ith which aristocrats are manufac tured—they graduate the industrious, the virtuous, and enduring strength of the Republic. 1 come now to the Georgia Courier, which demands a passing notice—That print charged, a few weeks since, that Col. Troup had consented to become a candidate, provided Mr. Gilmer and my self would decline—that this proposal had been acceded to by Mr. Gilmer and re jected bv me. If the editor will make good his statement, he will do w hat eve rv tnan in the State cannot accomplish. Thus I think it is clearly demonstrated, that 1 have been singled out as the victim of a wicked and revengeful spirit, as the fit subject of the political tomahaw k and scalping kuife, of that press, whose wea pons should be truth and reason—Thus petveriirig that which should devote its energies to the great and glorious cause,, of making men w iser and better, to the gratification of the baser pas ions’ and ap petites of our nature. A!! that ! ask of my adversaries, is fair and manly oppo sition. Let them controvert my policy, let them attack n.y. political doctrines, and F have nothin" to l’ear. 1 have sought no concealment for the one or the other—no, “I shun im question and I wear no mask,'* I and that no douht may exist on the public i mind, 1 now will present some tangible i points in relation to my creed, i niain j tain, Ist. That the people are capable of self-tfovcrruncnt, bv which I mean, that tliev are not only capable of nranagii g &• ; com!acting their private and domestic concerns, hut that they possess in an em inent degree, the capacity of establishing and maintaining the wisest and most sal utary political institutions. 2 idlv. That all sovereignty resides in the people— that ihe government belongs to the people—and that whatever they will to he done, ought to be done. 3rdlv. That no good government can exist, which is not administered nr accor dance with public opinion. 4i illv. That the representative is not the ruler of the people, hut their servant, and islronnd to obey their commands. Stilly .That public opinion having de clared in favor of a survey and occupancy of our Cherokee lands, without reserves to the State, *he next legislature ought to carry that measure into effect. fitldy. That the same tribunal having declared itselfoppos and to the Penitentiary System, it ought to be abolished. Ttlilv. That our taxes, our representa tion in the legislature ought both to he re duced. A few words upon the powers of the Federal and State Governments and 1 have done. I maintain, that the federal government cannot constitutionally exercise any other powers than those which are specifically delegated to it by the State in the Feder al Constitution, and that all the powers not so delegated are reserved to the States or the people. That the federal gov< rn rnent is sovereign to the extent of its del egated authority, and that the states are sovereign to the extent of their reserved powers. That in controversies between tbe states and the Federal government, the proper remedies, are, peaceful anil constitutional remedies. That “The Federal union must be pre served,” and whilst, I trust, I would he among the foremost to encounter peril for its preservation, so I would he among the last, to sit cooly down and culculate its val ue. Thus have I endeavored to hold out briefly, some of the leading articles ol my political faith—and defining them fair and legitimate subjects ot discussion, I now challenge the array of my adversa ries to come out and controvert them. Respectfully, your fellow citizen. T. lIAYNES. Sparta, Bth August, 1831. P. S.

A bout half post ~i o’clock tins morn ing, onr news schooner Journal of Com merce came up from below, with London papers to June 20, and Liverpool to the 27, both inclusive, brought by the packet ship York, Capt.

At the time we go to press, 2 o’clock, P. M . no other accounts have been re ceived from the ship. SPEECH FROM TIIE THRONE On Tuesday, June 21st, at an early hour, overy roof, w indow, balcony, and doorway, from St. James to Bt. Stephens, were besieged with eager and expecting beholders. “At length the roar of can non announced the departure of the roy al cortege from the palace. The inter mediate time, until its arrival at the 1 ar liaiuent, was marked hy the reverlu ra tions of the multitudinous voices that had ed the King at every turn. “Along the line the signal run,” and ihejcit tie juieut loyal voices and fiery faces, was kept up with little intermission. The King, we thought, looked pale and disparited; and the cheering was not so load and enthu siastic as the crowd have led us to ex pect.” About 2 o’clock, lie entered the antique chamber, in magnificent robes, and took lua seat on the throne of that long line of •Kings, amongst whom tin it have been few more popular than’ i iinseh. The Commons were summoned, and Ins Ma jesty, in a voice apparently articled by a slight cold, delivered the following ADDRESS: “J/i/ Lords arid ite.itlemen— “l have availed myself of the earliest opportunity of resorting to j our advice At assistance after the dtsolulion of ihe lute Parliuuu nt. “Having had recourse to that measure for the purpose of ascertaining the sense of my people on the expediency of a re form hi rt presentation, i have now to rec coiiiincndth.tt important question to your earliest and most attentive consideration, confident that in any measures which you may prepare for its adjustment, you will carefully adhere to the acknowledged pridciples of tiie constitution, by whic the prerogatives of the Crow n, the authority of both Houses of Parliament, ami rights and liberties of the people, are equally sc oured. “The assurances of a friendly disposi tion wieh I continue to receive from all Foreign Powers, encourage the hope that nLtwithstanding the civil coy mnuons w hich have disturbed some parts of Eu rope, and the contest now existing in Po land, the general peace will be maintain ed. “To the preservation of this blessing, my most anxious care will he constantly directed. “The discussions which have taken place on the affairs of Belgium have not yet been brought to a conclusion; but the most complete agreemeut continues to subsist between the bowers, whose pleni potentiary have been engaged in the con ferences of London. The principle on which those conferences have been con ducted has been that of not interfering w ith the riirht of the people of Belgium to regulate their internal affairs; and to e stablish their Govercment according to their own views of what may he most con ductive tp their future welfare and inde pendence, under the sole condition sanc tioned hy tiie practice of nations, and founded on the principles of public law, that in the exercise of that undoubted right, the securiety of the neighboring States should not he endangered. “A series of injuries and insults, for which, notwithstanding repeated remon strances, all reparation was withheld, com pelled me at la»t to order a squadron of my fleet to appear before Lisbon, with a peremptory demand of satisfaction.
