On the Death of an IntercJing

Death lingering strikes, at lib. ap

The trembling spirits faint and

Pale sickness s’mK> upon his couch
And heaves the long drawn,
patting sigh.

Relentless —he selects his prov, j

Soon bv Ins it v tout it is < fill’d
And life’s bright visions licet

Tims did E/iaa's moments fly,
On wings of joy, with prospects I
fair,
While cloudless was her present
sky,
And hope appeared her guid
ing star.
From cnv\ with malice |
arm’d,
Her artless smile his weapon
stoh;
With trnnsuort strange the inon
stir warmed,
Aid waked to love his gloomy
soul.
Full eftat music’s jofnnd strain,
Her sylph-like form, Ive loved
to trace,
Amid the dance’s sportive train,
With airy sup and winning
place.
But w’iv, fond memory, why re

Those charms, which late such
pleasure gave,
Since no v, Elisa —rest of ail,
Lies cold—tb ■. tm ant of die

Their dimpling smiles forever

Dim <s the brightness of that * ye,
Which once with sparkling lus

JVJutc is that voice, whose accents
sweet
The ear of fond attention drew;
Still is that heart which constant

To every gentle virtue true.
Alas!—shall deal It forever reign,

THE LIFE OF

AND A
History of the Devolution in the

■“ And I have been with thee
whithersoever thou hast walked, ft
have cut off ail thy enemies from
befofe thee, and have made thee
a name, like the name of the great
men thut are in the Earth.”
1. Citron. C. 17. V. 8.
Some time ago 1 authorised the
printer of the Patriot to An
nounce to my fellow-citizens, that
1 was preparing for publication,
a work to be entitled, “ The Life
of Major General James Jack
son, and a History of the Devo
lution in the state.of Georgia." —
I now assure my friends and the
Public, that they shall not be dis
appointed in the expectations that
notice may have excited —In the
course of the present year, this
work shall be put into the Press.
from an intimate acquaintance
with Genera! Jackson ( and a per
fect knowledge of the events
\v hidi distinguished his character,
combined with information lnf“
nished by others (to w horn I feel
mvseif particularly obliged),
have it probably more in my pow- j
er to give a faithful and accurate j
account of his life and actions,
thancould be accomplished by a
ny ot her hand
‘1 here are many interesting ma
terials in my possession, aud the
greatest labour 1 shall perbap ex
perience will oe nt,forming a nar
rative, from a mass of facts, some
of winch would highly giatifv the
curiosity of many individuals, but
ought net t* be submitted to puli
lie investiga'ion. 1 shall etulea- j
voursoto selrct and arrange these
facts, as to enable me at the same
time, that 1 shall perform a duty
to the memory and virtues ot mv
once friend and General, to pre
serve the rigid impartiality ts the
Historian. 1 deem it me ssary to
make these remarks, under an
appreii'Tsimi. rl at it might be
supposed, bv a few, that in uril
ing tlie life of General Jackson, 1
would advert to incidents, whose
only tendency would be to re light
tin- flame of ancient animosity,
without producing one beneficent
-ff et, moral or political —It any
have sulf red their minds to be
influenced by this supposition,they
will discover tinir mistake in the
perusal of my woik. Justice
shall be ample administered to tho
private and Political integri y of
General Jackson. His honesty,
valour, and patriotism, were qua
lities which distinguished bis ac
tive and perilous career, and
which neither envy, hatred or
malevolence, can tarnish or dimi
nish. Those qualities l shall free
ly discuss, ana support them by
facts and occurrences, every citi
zen of common information is, or
iwaydje possessed oJ —mv narra
tive, therefore, as it will be sancti
oned h\ truth, should be pursued
with moderation and candour—
-1 promise then to spare ns manv
political and official iruittie* of
tire men who 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 “ The History of the
Devolution in the State of Geor
gia,” who dp not now, (as Icon
ceive), possess the sentiments 8c
o, notions, which directed the
measures and the conduct of Tfi
Pati iots. But as they acted like
heroes in that memorable period,
they are entitled to the gratitude
of posterity, and from us, all the
consideration and respect which
attach themselves to the charac
ters ot Revolutionary soldiers. —
The consistent and the apostate
Whig will tiler-fore be iudts
ciimintuely mentioned by me, &
their actions extolled in the ra
tio of their Hevoliui.nary merits.
i he points of spccuhaive contio
versy, which separate and divide
I them at this da; , I shall leave to
i -.he scrutiny of ihtirown coiiacr
| ous rectitude, and the decision
ot their country.
Truth and Justice demand a
correct History of the lieveluii
ca in Georgia.
| F.vcrv ‘Georgian ntast I-e
j sible of this, who possesses any
knowledge of the Revolutionary
events in this state. Georgia
can boast of heroes & statesmen,
whose sendees and virtues, not
only did honor l<> human nature,
but placed them in the ranks ol
the most faithful and zealous pa
triots of the Revolution; yet,
strange to tell, no historian has
noticed them—their names and
their services have been passed
j over in silence, or left at the cits
posal of a vague recollection, or
an uncertain tradition 1\ 1 H w 'j
; lie niy duty, (I feel happy that it
i is so), to rescue from oblivion e
very Georgia Patriot, who, by
his civil talents, or military at
chlevements, supported the cans*
of liberty and his country. Ihe
common soldier shall not: be for
go:ten, Every battle, combat &
rencountre, in which Georgia
troops signalized themselves,
shall be particularly described —
the ir bravery and exertions pro
perly estimated—and the eriors
of former accounts noted St cor
rected.
A History cf this kind must
afford high satisfaction and inte
rest to the Georgian who parti
cipated in the tri 113 and dangers
ot the Revolution; and before he
depat ts to the bosom ot Washing’
ton, to know that his long forgot
ten actions are placed upon re”
cord, must be among the great
est consolations he can receive-
Those who were 100 \ oiing to
engage in the arduous contests of
the Revolution, and those who
have grown up since that period,
will, I hope, glow with equal
aride and satisfaction in the ex- j
pagination of annuls, which re- :
cord the valour and patriotism ol j
their ’/S Ancestors. In short, |
this work, must be grea lye int- ‘
icsting u every- Citizen who
loves this country, and reveres
the principles of the revolution.
‘i hese are the general features
of the work I propose submitting
to the public.
1 invite every citizen to aid
me, as much as mav be in his
power. Any documents trans
mitted me, relative to ant- lie vo
