for which 7 vr are indebted to the

of -which will he found in the pro

The London Statesman, of

011 a matter of such me merit,
we made everv inquiry, and
could not trace it to any an

it will be bro’t to an amicable

By the Ilind, Brace, from

destroyed. The misfoitune is
in a gieat meaiure attributed
to a want of attention to the

a name, like tilt 11 tine of the great
men mat are in the I’.arth.”
J. Gluon. C. 17 F. g.
Some time ago I authorised the
, printer of the FaTRIot to an
j tiounce to niv fellow.eitiziiis, that
j Ewas preparing for publication,
| a work to be entitled, “ The L’fe
I of Major General James fade

I tow assure niv friends and the
Public, that they shall not be dis

serve the rigid impartiality of the !
Historian. I deem it oec ssarv to
make these remarks, under an
apprehension, that it ought be
supposed, bv-a few, that in writ
ing the life of Gene-ai Jackson, I
would advert to incidents, whose
only tendency Would be to re Sight

which neither envy, hatred or

It discuss, amt support them by
facts and occurrences, every citi
zen of common information is, or
n* iv be possessed of—uiv narra
tive, therefore, as it wili be sancti
oned by truth, should be pursued
with moderation and candour
1 promise then to spare as nutnv
political and official frailties of
file men ,vho may pass in review
before me, as may comport with
the duties i have imposed upon
myself.
Manv will find their names re
corded in “ l’he Historv of the
Revolution in the State of Geor
gia,” who do not new, fas 1 con
ceive ), possess the sentiments ik
o- ninioos, which directed the
measu cs and the conduct A 5 7S
Patriots. But as they acted like
heroes in that memorable period,
they are entitled to the gmi- tude
of posterity, and from us, all the
consideration and re-pect which
attach themselves to the charac
; ters ot Revolutionary soldiers. —
j The consistent and the apostate
Whig will theri fore be indis
criminately mentioned by me, &
their actions extolled in the ra
tio ot their Revolutionary merits -
The points ot speculative contro
versy, which sepa-utc and divide
them at this day, I shall leave to
the scrutiny of heir own conscf
ou-. rectuuue, and the decision
ol their country.
Truth and justice demand a
correct Ristoiv oi the Revoluti
on in Georgia.
Every Georgian must be sen
i sible of this, wiro possesses any
knowledge of tlm Revolutionary
: events in this state. Georgia
: can boast of heroes b. statesmen,
; whose services and virtues, not
| only did honor to human nature,
but placed tnein in the ranxs ot
the most faithful and zealous pa
! triots ol Uie Revolution; }C’,
j stiange to tell, no tiisionan lias
j noticed them—.neir names and
j their services nave been passed
I over in silence, or left at tneuis
j posal of a vague recollection, or
an uncertain tradition 111 At wd
i be my duty, (1 feel happy mat u
j is so j, to rescue from oblivion e.
1 very Georgia Fa riot, who, by
his civil talents, or mdhaiy at - -
chievements, supported the cause I
of liberty and his country. I“e !

troops signalized themselves,
shall be particularly de>ctibvd —
