From the Wash ing fort Globe.
Mr, Blair : 1 notice in the Boston Courier an'
extract of a letter from me, in answer to one ask-|
ing information on the subject ofa Cotton Factor},
in which I am concern’d, lor the us: of the New
York Convention. 1 regret the w hide letter was I
not published, and ask now the favor to have it
done, and especially to give its true date, far I i
know it was written in time for the Convention, j
which met in October. —The letter purports to i
have been written on the 7th December. 1831.
%nd the garbled extract is intended to convict me
of inconsistency. There is not, however, the ,
slightest difficulty in this thing, and 1 am glad
the matter is so much questioned,as> not only to :
give great uneasiness to the manufacturing gen
tlemen, hut to alford me an opportunity of ex
posing their long concealed impositions. In the
month of January last, our company purchased;
out the nor hern partner, u Inch made it neces
sarv to go into a full investigation of our con-,
corns and to take an accurate account of every
thing we had done, which had never before been
oven attempted, for most of our yarns and cloths
had been placed in the hands of distant agents
and scattered throughout the State, from whom
we had not received regular returns. Since my
arrival iiere, I have been advised of the settle-,
inent. and the follow ing are some of the extracts
of letters on the subject.
One ofthe partners writes, under date of Feb.
9th, 1832. “ The old gentleman hates to give
up. he savs we are making, at the least calcula
tion, 200 per cent, clear.” My son, on the 15th ,j
of April, informs me that after much difficulty
with our northern partner, lie claimed nearly
twice as much as the rest conceived to he due,
the affair was referred to arbitrators of his own ,
choosing, and their award gave the following un
common result ;
“Capital, $4,001 08—ills nett profits $4,152
7 8. .
This included the business from about the Ist
of January, 1830, up to the Ist of January,
1832. J
One ofthe arbitrators writes2d ot May, “Aon
have no doubt been informed of the settlement
«»f the Factory business. Thereby I had a peep 1
into your affairs, and without publishing it a- 1
broad, 1 will say, that beyond all doubt, it is the 1
best investment of money in Georgia, so far as I
know or believe. It is a great business indeed 1
'and increasing in profit. ’ ■<
By this time I apprehend all the inconsistency A
;hos vanished. When I wrote in SejtcrrJ- r (as
I believe) we had made no dividend, nor had we
down to that time done any thing but spend
money, for we kept increasing our machinery
!from the proceeds of the Factory; but aa well as
I now recollect, that letter gives a flattering ac
count of our future prospects, which seems to
have been even - brighter” than I had anticipa
tud. But for the purchase above mentioned we
■'should no? her e known cur true situation, per
,hap = for a year to come. As soon, however, as
1 did know h. I was determined the world should
know the truth about it, and I only w ish, instead
. of irving to smother its elf ct, the example could
j b«* followed I »y those gentry who do not like to
hgive up tfo-ir rent per cent.
j I will take this occasion to correct the report
|of mv sjieech, as far ns it is given. Icm made
|j to say, that “ I liad operated as a upon
rn\ n< ighbor- and had sucked up this from their
I ; hard earnings.” I ins is not what 1 said. My
h remarks were these: “ If the capital invested by
; the company to which I belong, say some whore
!! about 30,0U0 dollars, has doubled i*s* lfintwc
I years, what is the consequence ?—The gentle-
Jinan from Tennessee (Mr. Bell,) who so elo
jjquently painted the exactions and influence o!
II weal h, and the miseries w hich the sudden and
rapid accumulation of money must create in any
! community, spoke truly, when he said some one
must lose whi n another gains. • Now, Sir, apply
; this truth to t!ie fact I have related. Thirty
thousand dollars, in two years, have been soaked
up as with a sponge, within a certain circumfer
! ence. While w e have gained it, our neighbors
! have lost it, and though they are too generous tc
icornplain of us, know ing that neither our motives
'or feelings so enter into the sys‘em as to desire
, its continuance at the expense oi principle. \cl
I this is its true effect throughout this whole conn-
J try. And yet it must lie helped by the hard
|! handed labor of our honest planters, to whose
j j fruits all other trades and professions iiius’t look
: for support.” A. !8. CLA\ TON.
THE BOEDER WAR.
Information has received at the War
; Department from St. Louis, ofthe 19th instant,
j slatting that the Militia of Illinois, amounting to
.nearly 3000 men, had assembled at the rapids
of Illinois, w here General Atkinson was attend
ing to their organization, and expected to move
upon the hostile Indians on the 10th or 20th ;
I that the spies smit to examine the position ot
Black Hawk’s force, report that they were
i twenty miles above Tushcananong, on Rock
| river, having taken a strong position which, it
! is understood, they intend to maintain : that to
[prevent their crossing the river to elude the ar
j my, strong parties of troops were in motion be-
I tween Hock river and the Uuisconsin—that
|'Gen. Atkinson had with him about 100 Potto
:| wattamies, identified in the war, whom lie uses
Ij as guides—and that two or three hundred Men
ijominees and Sioux, had {Kissed Galena, on their
| wav to join the Army, and that the body of
Felix St. Kane, late Indian Agent, had been
found and buried by General Dodge.
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Army, dated
j. * ST. LOUIS, June 18, 1832.
| “I am informed by a letter from Gen. Atkinson, da
tcsl Ottow iv, 15th inst. that the militia had arrived, us
many at least, if not more than he wanted, and that he
would march in three or four days for the Indian fron
tier, with the hope of speedily finishing the present w ar.
I endenvordd to obtain a drawing of the Indian position,
but failed ; it is reported, however, to lie situated on
wiiat H called the four lakes, on the waters of Rock
river, surrounded by marshes and of very difficult ac
ross, and is culled by the Indians Coush-co-nang, or the
fort.
The’troops, about 3000 mounted volunteers, will leave
Ottoway, Illinois river, in three days, to march upon the
Indians. Gen. Atkinson oomrannds the whole volun
teers and Regulars. Gov. Reynolds will accompany
the Army in all its movements. Il is thought that the
troops will come upon them in about seven days. The
number of Indians is estimated at from one to two
thousand.”

Dreadful Indian Massacre. —The steamboat
Niagara, arrived here this morning (Thursday)
brings intelligence that expresses had arrived at
Detroit, stating that Captain Joseph Naper, we 11
known in this section of country, had been mas
sacred, with .all his family, consisting of his wife,
i wife's sister, and four children, near Fort Ciiica
igo. Naper, who was a bold, daring man, had
j been in the Fort some time, when believing that
the people were more scared than hurt, had betaken
himself to his log cabin. Nine of the Indians
were found dead near his house, who unques
tionably IMI before his intrepid arm.—Ana.
VOICE OF GEORGIA.
BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
Coming at once to the point with the Federal
In ion, we would ask the editors whether united
action is not necessary to the success of the
Jackson ticket. They must answer, yes. Then,
(as the practicability of union is the next great
j problem in all such cases, wo would further ask
j them whether there is not more prospect of uni
ting upon ground on which the greater number
now stand, than on that which a smaller num
ber are contending for. We rely on their can
dour for an affirmative answer to this question
yiiso. Let us see then what is the real republi
can force of Mr. Van Huron as compared with
that of Mr. B irbour. And that there may be
no possible mistake, we here put down the ori
ginal list of the votes that each candidate got
in convention from each State.

Here we fold that when all the Republicans
from all the States spontaneously declared their
first and real preference, Van B. received 19
votes more than two-thirds of the whole.
But we are told that although the delegations
from Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode-lsland,
Connecticut, New-Jersey, Delaware, Louisiana;
and Ohio, voted for Van Buren in convention, j
4
;h vet these delegations being in the minority at
j, home, thev v. iIT not in fact be able to give him a
j single vote in tiie elec''* n. Now this wc b\ no
means admit—3l oi these votes are at least
s ! doubtful. But to leave no debatable point be
. hind us, we will admit it to be as the Federal
>!; l.'nion thinks, and will leave ail these States out
.I; of the calculation, as it ttioy had not been pre
|isent a T the convention. We take then the resi
- due of the States, constituting as we know, the
s’ grea* republican family oi the union, as having
1 ? assembled to ascertain and run their strongest
■ft man. After deducting these 70 votes from \ .
i! Burcn’s 20®, he has s’il l left 139, which is with
in four of two-thirds of all the States now pre
j'seut.
Thev then contend, that Pennsylvania and
Xorth-Carolina should be left out, alleging that
i he can receive no votes from eituer of these
r iStates. M e doubt this conclusion still more
v than the other; but taking the gentlemen
throughout, on their own assumptions, we con
e J cede this point also. The votes, after the 70 had
0 ; been taken from Van Buren, stood thus :
V. B. 133. B. 49. J. 26.
. ; Deduct from V. 0. the
,f|; Pennsylvania vote of
ji' 30, claimed for Sar
y ' geant, A his 9 votes
e ■ from N. Carolina, 39
y jGive these last nine
y j votes to Barbour, 9
J|! 99 59 2d
J Leaving this vast disproportion of the ropub
ft bean votes even thus winnowed. But when we
ft add to Van Buren, the 26 votes of Johnson, who
I withdrew in his favor, his sum total is swelled to
ti 125 which he must receive, against the 59 that
. i Barbour would have if he could obtain all that
cl are claimed for him. Being two thirds of the
s whole, and three votes to spare. So much for
• .the bubble.
If, says the Federal Union, Mr. Van Buren
■'will withdraw in favor ol Barbour, the latter
: can be elected. This may be, and so could
Mr. Clay be elected if President Jackson would
r w ithdraw. —And nothing i*> wanting but for the
people of England to withdraw the reform bill,
) und there would then be quiet tines there lor a
s | while ; but is this treating the subject with pro
- per seriousness ?
3 • If the opposition can so manage as to keep
; | Mr. Barbour in the field, and his advocates will
f i sufficiently bestir themselves, he may possibly
3 | obtain just about votes enough to carry the
c election in f o the Senate where Sargcant will
t be elected ; and so Mr, B. will have the honor
>i of the most distinct and prominent agency in
- dividing and ruining the party of w hich he has
- so far been a pillar and an ornament,
t Such however is our opinion ot Mr. Bar
- i hour’s devotion to Ihe great cause, that we'can-l
; not believe lie will persist in bolding up his
-I'name, not as a point of union, which it cannot
cj j be, but as a signal of division and discord,
fij which i* inevitably must bo.
i;i It. hardly can be possible that a person of
|ithose pure and devoted sentiments, which we
I ;.love to ascribe to Mr. Barbour, should consent
j to retain his present position when he finds him
.i! self cheered and clapped on the back, and ex-
Fjhortcdto stand fast, by the United States Tele
'j!graph, and, probably, by other Clay and Cal
"jjhoun presses. His name, indeed, seems to be
,(I their last hope of eiTecting a division m our I
m ranks. Hear the Tologragh :
“ Attempts are making to induce Mr. Bar-;
’ hour to decline a nomination. Menaces and|
(entreaties are put in requisition for this pur-|
■ ! pose. If he yield to them, Vie will be no long-j
: i!er worthy of the character which he has won by j
;|ihis services. But we hardly believe him to be
, j|so weak. He must see that the party which;
:j; now opposes him, will inevitably dissolve in its
> j own weakness. Such a mass of hostile matter
] cannot be kept together. He can reasonably
entertain no fears from such a monster. He
ft must perceive, also, that the interests of the
)j republican party, and of the Union, are at
tj! stake. He must know that the people of the
ft: whole southern country arc with him ; and w r e
•|! much mistake Iris character if he permit him
, j self to be deterred from the path of duty by the
- i impotent threats of office holders and office
1 'seekers.”
t ! How could gentlemen use their talents and
1 i influence more effectually for the opponents at
’ j Jackson, than in thus joining their efforts with
- the Telegraph? And in disparaging the con-
I vent ion—a movement that involves his fate. We
press this suggestion from a belief that it will
i be felt and duly weighed. — Geo. Journal.

HIGHLY INTERESTIN T G.
By last night’s mail, we have received (he informa
tion that the Cholera had found its way to the city o!,
New-York. Several cases had occurred of a very a-1
larming character, and death had generally followed as- j
ter a short interval. This statement we take from the j
Journal of Commerce of July 2.
London dates to the 22d and Liverpool to the 21th of
May, had been received by the Silas Richards, at New-
York. M.Casimir Perier, late Prime Minister of France
is dead. Hi s successor had not yet been appointed. The ||
recall of Lord Grey & his Ministry has been formally de-,

or other, is now considered certain.
The Cotton Market had improved. Sales have been 1

BEN J A MIN FRAN K LI N.
When the bill to repeal'the Stamp Act was before the !i
Committee of the House of Commons, Dr. Franklin 1
was examined at the bar of the House, on the affairs of,
America. Among many others, the following questions 1
and answers were made :
“ Do not yon think the people of America would sub- j
mit to the stamp duty, if it was moderated?”
Dr. Franklin answered :—“ No, never, unless com
pelled by the force of arms.”
“ What used to be the pride of Americans ?”
The Doctor answered: “To indulge in the fashions!
and manufactures of Great Britain.”
“ What is now their pride ?”
The Doctor answered: “To wear their old clothes,
over again, till they can make new ones.”
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The wise men of the country begin to make calcula
tions about the Presidential Election. The Constitution. 1
al Whig, a paper printed in Richmond, Va. in the inter-!
estof Mr. Clay, calculates that Mr. Clay will get, cer-l
tain, out of 2SB electoral votes, 144, exactly one half.
And from what states, incredulous reader, think je, the!
votes are to come ? Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode-Is].
and, Connecticut, Vermont, Nf.w-york, Neve.Jersey, 1
Maryland, 7 out of 10 votes, Kentucky, Ohio, Louisia .;
na, and Delaware; total 144. The editors of that pa- 1
per give Maine, New-York, Kentucky and Ohio, 88
votes, to Mr. Clay. Why did they nor include New-;
Hampshire? It is as likely that New-Ilampsliire will
vote for Mr. Clay, as Maine, Now-York, Kentucky and
Ohio. But, say the editors, 144 votes cannot elect Mr.'
Clay; one vote more would do it ? “if our calculation;
is worthy of credit, Mr. Clay will approach within one
vote of a majority of the whole, in the Electoral Colle. !
ges; cannot that one vole be squeezed our somewhere j
or other?” Yes; cannot that one vote be squeezed out
somewhere or other? If could be, if the editors could |
squeeze out of the minus of the people the notion they
have, that General Jackson has administered the go.
vemment to their satisfaction, and that they cannot trust
such a man as Mr. Clay, instead of a long tried public j
servant, whose whole soul is bent upon the prosperity;
and glory ot his country. However, the editors of the!
Whig conclude, by consoling tnemsclves with this wise''
reflection., that should Mr. Clay not be elected by the';
electoral colleges, neither will Gen. Jackson, because j]
Pennsylvania will certainly vote for Mr. Wirt, which
“increases the chances of the election going to the |
House." This is what ?vlr. Clay and his friends mo. t de- j
sire. Mr. Cloy succeeded once in defeating (he wish of
the people, and in placing Mr. Adams in the Presidential;!
chair; and why should he not succeed in placing himself?
Before this happens, the people will have to be consulted,
and they will certainly manage the election in such a \
manner, as to relieve Mr. Clay and his friends, front the I
trouble of choosing for them a President and Vice-Pre
sident of the United States.
CHEROKEE COUNTY.
The following information is taken from the M«con j
Messenger, of last Thursday. A gentleman of this ci-:j
ty, just returned from the north-western counties, states!
that it had been there reported, that General Coffee, I
with the Cherokee Guard, were in pursuit of the Indians ;
who had taken Mr. Brown. This gentleman states fur-:!
ther, that when taken by the Indians, Mr. Brown was on
the other side of the Cherokee line, in Tennessee. We ,
shall hear in a few days all the particulars of this trans
action.
The following is an extract ot a letter received at Ma
con, from Young Johnston, Esq. the District Surveyor,
from the County of Bibb, dated
“ GAINESVILLE, 26th June, 1832. j
“ I hasten to communicate the intelligence of the ar- j
rest of Mr. Brown, the Surveyor from Habersham Co. ;
by a party of Cherokee Indians, headed by M’Nair, up- i
on a warrant issued by a Tennessee Magistrate, against,
said Brown, for an alleged violation of the intercourse
laws, in the surveying the district assigned him under
the laws of Georgia. Brown was airested while prose
cuting his survey, carried to a small town in Tennessee,
called Athens, with the intention afterwards, of carry
ing him to Nashville, to undergo an examination before
a Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States.
“ This information is founded on a letter received yes
terday by General Coffee, from Brown, the prisoner,l
and also from another gentleman, whose name I do not
recollect. The last mentioned letter, further states, that
a few days previous to the date of the warrant, the Ten-7
nessee Magistrate received a letter from a .lawyer of |
d Tennessee, informing him that he (the Magistrate) v;o j:
in all probability be called onto act officially under th»
U. 8. laws, regulating the intercourse between the I „
ted States and the Cherokee Indians, and sending k ;;
also a copy of the Laws.”
REDUCTION.
On the first Monday in November next, the pcoph
will be called on to exercise one of their natural rights,
without the sanction of a constitutional law. To den
this ritiht, would he tantamount to a denial of the- sc.
vereign power the people possess in a government oi
. their own organization. Mo shall not dwell on tij?
question; for we cannot suppose that there are nv n «
this community, so ignorant of the political and evil si
tributes attached to a free people, and so indifferent .j
• the defects of the constitution which govern the-. ..
to oppose the choice of delegates, without the auti; f.
ty of the legislature, and tlie meeting yi a coiivtrni *
to repair those defects. In consequence ol this siippj,
sition, we shall proceed at once, and as briefly as t.j
I subject will admit, to the examination of one branch of
it, as alluded to in the presentments of the Grand Jury *
of Chatham county, which were published in our p, £: I
of the 3d instant.
The Grand Jury states, that the county of Clunk «
“ with a representative population ot eleven thou- I
eight hundred amUsixiy-six, and a state tax of six t:;.;. *
sand dollars, sends to the General Assembly one S ....
tor and three Representatives. The counties of Ap.
pling, Baker, Irwin, Marion, Montgomery, Randolph
Stewart, Ware and Wayne, with an aggregate pcnui'p.
tion of 11,127, paying an aggregate tax of nine h ; < 1;
died and forty dollars, send nine senators and nine re
presentatives. The state burthens of Chatham, ecu
pared to these nine counties, are as six to one. The
privileges of these, compared to Chatham, are as ft
lows ; In the Senate they have nine members to her
one —in the House of Representatives, they have n::g 1
i members to her three. In the Senate, Chatham i< f
pone to eighty—these counties compose one ninth of that
I body- In the House of Representatives, Chat run;, |
I county represents one-fifty-filth of that body—there |
counties one-eighteenth. They draw tor the p,.-
lltheir Delegations in the General Assembly, throe thou
•}sand five hundred and eighty-three dollars, more than
| they contribute in taxes. —Chatham county pays live
thousand and twelve dollars more than she draws;;
that way.”
The same calculation is applicable to Richmond cor”, j
ty. This county paid into the Treasury in 1830, §,'6(l;
and the pay of her members amounted to §9! 2 ; h v
I ling a balance of $1,688, which the county contributes
I towards defraying the expenses of the government,
j And for this large amount of taxation, together uiiha
| representative population of 9,289, is the county pro.
! portionably represented in the legislature ? Ccrtaii.lv
1 not. If then she is not proportionality represented,
what assurance have the people ol the county, that their
interest, their wants, their views and feelings, will be
attended to ; that these objects w ill not be totally ne
glccted ; and that no measures w ill be adopted e.flcu
i lated to injure them ? Certainty no assurance tan be
I given, and none can be depended upon, while the coaa
i ties are so unequally represented ; while a small nmj.
jority of the people, by sending a majority of repre.. n-
Itatives to both branches of the legislature, hav» it m
j their power to control the proceedings, and to pass any
j law which may benefit exclusively that small minority,
| without any advantage, to the great majority of the ptu.
pic ? To show the inequality ol' representation, it is
only necessary to ascertain what is the population of
Chatham and Richmond, the amount of taxes paid by
j those two counties, the number of senators ami rcpiv.
j sentatives they send to the legislature, and the pay theso
|members draw from the common treasury; as eompir.
ed with as many counties which, joined together, have
the same population, and pay the same amount ofta;ws.

Making a representative population of 20,913
Here are 13 counties which contain a representative
population something less than Chatham and Richmond,
which send to the senate 13 senators, while Chatham
and Richmond send but 2 ; which scud to the house of
1 representatives 13 members, while Chatham and Rich
| .aoiid send but G. What then can bo more unequal
| than this representation, with a population nearly equal ’
To both branches the 13 counties send 2G member. 1 ,
and Chatham and Richmond but 8. L follows then that
an equal number of people, but divided in 13 counties,
have twice as much power in the legislature, as the peo
|pie of the two counties of Chatham and Richmond.
Let us now consider the subject as regards taxation,
and the pay of the members of the 13 counties sent to
the legislature.
The 13 counties above named, paid into the treasury
•in 1830, the sum of §l7lO, and drew from the sans*
| treasury, for the pay of their members, the sum el -
§6190. So that they actually drew the sum of §4,180
* more than they paid in.
! On the other hand,, the counties of Chatham and Ric! •
jmond paid into the treasury, the sum of §11,600, a: I
drew for the pay of their members §1,900. So t!.-‘
jthey contributed §9,700 to tiie expenses of the govern
iment, while the 13 counties were a charge to the treas-t
!ry in the sum of §4 180. If wc continue the same calc; I
lation, and apply the balance of §9,700, paid by Chat
i ham and Richmond into the treasury, after deducting the
pay of their members, to the compensation of the men*
hers of other counties, the result will be, that Chathar
and Richmond not only paid the compensation of the r
; own members, but compensated also the members of
' the counties, 38 in number, which do not pay into the
| treasury a sufficient amount to meet the pay of their re
! presentatives. These 38 counties paid into the treasury
In 1830, the sum of §12,130 ; the amount drawn by their
members, was §21,505; leaving a balance against these
38 counties of §9,375. The balance in favour of Chat
ham and Richmond, after deducting the pay of their
members is §9,700. It appears clearly, that these tvi
counties alone pay the representations of 40 counties,
including Chatham and Richmond, out of the taxes levi
ed upon their citizens, leaving a balance besides in tbs
treasury, to be appropriated to some other objects, ot
§325. And yet these two counties have but two Ser.v
tors and six representatives in the Legislature, while the
. 33 counties have 38 Senators and 62 Representatives.
We shall not offer additional remarks upon these cal
