POLITIC VI..
TO TIIE PEOPLE OF GEORGI V.
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.

8D AYS LA rER FROM ENGLAND.
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. Burley. The most im
portant, news which they contain is the
death of Marshal Diebitsch, Commander*'
in-chief of the Russian army operating a
gainst the Poles.
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

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. A
prompt eonipliace with that demand pre
vented the necessity of further mea ures;
hut I have to regret, that I have not yet
been able to re-establish my diplomatic
relations with the Fortuguese Govern
ment.
