 ...THE WILL OF... 

MARY WASHINGTON 

AS REGISTERED IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE AT 
FREDERICKSBURG, - - VIRGINIA 


In the name of God ! Amen. I, Mary Washington, of Fredericksburg, in the County 
of Spotsylvania, being in good health, but calling to mind the uncertainty of this life, and 
willing to dispose of what remains of my worldly estate, do make and publish this, my last 
will, recommending my soul in the hands of my Creator, hoping for a remission of all my 
sins through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind ; I dispose of 
my worldly estate as follows : 

Imprimis.—I give to my son, General George Washington, all my land in Accokeek 
Run, in the County of Stafford, and also my negro boy George, to him and his heirs forever. 
Also my best bed, bedstead, and Virginia cloth curtains (the same that stand in my best bed 
room), my quilted blue-and-white quilt, and my best dressing glass. 

Item.—I give and devise to my son, Charles Washington, my negro man, Tom, to him 
and his assigns forever. 

Item.—I give and devise to my daughter, Betty Lewis, my phaeton and my bay horse. 

Item.—I give and devise to my daughter-in-law, Hannah Washington, my purple cloth 
cloak lined with shag. 

Item.—I give and devise to my grandson, Corbin Washington, my negro wench, old 
Bet, my riding chair, and two black horses, to him and his assigns forever. 

Item.—I give and devise to my grandson, Fielding Lewis, my negro man, Frederick, 
to him and his assigns forever ; also eight silver tablespoons, half of my crockery ware and 
the blue and white tea china, with book case, oval table, one bedstead, one pair sheets, one 
pair blankets and white cotton counterpane, two table cloths, six red leather chairs, half my 
pewter and one-half of my iron kitchen furniture. 

Item.—I give and devise to my grandson, Lawrence Lewis, my negro wench, Lydia, 
to him and his assigns forever. 

Item.—I give and devise to my granddaughter, Betty Carter, my negro woman, little 
Bet, and her future increase, to her and her assigns forever ; also my largest looking glass, 
my walnut writing desk with drawers, a square dining table, one bed, bedstead, bolster, one 
pillow, one blanket and pair of sheets, white Virginia cloth counterpane and purple curtains, 
my red-and-white tea china, teaspoons, and the other half of my pewter, crockery ware, and 
the remainder of my iron kitchen furniture. 

Item.—I give to my grandson, George Washington, my next best dressing glass, one 
bed, bedstead, bolster, one pillow, one pair sheets, one blanket and counterpane. 

Item.—I devise all my wearing apparel to be equally divided between by grand 
daughters, Betty Carter, Fannie Ball, and Milly Washington ; but should my daughter, Betty 
Lewis, fancy any one, two or three articles, she is to have them before a division thereof. 

Lastly. I nominate and appoint my said son, General George Washington, executor 
of this, my will, and as I owe few or no debts, I direct my executor to give no security nor 
to appraise my estate, but desire the same may be allotted to my devisees, with as little 
trouble and delay as may be, desiring their acceptance thereof as all the token I now have 
to give them of my love for them. 

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 20th day of May, 1778. 

MARY WASHINGTON. 
Witness, John Ferneyhough. 

Signed, sealed and published in our presence, and signed by us in the presence of the 
said Mary Washington, and at her desire.

A SLOOP which arrived on Sa 
turday evening from the Da- 
nifh Ifland of St. Thomas, in 
the Weft Indies, brought " The ST. 
CHRISTOPHERGAZETfE EXTRA 
ORDINARY January 23,1783" from 
which the following is extrafted. 

Frem th BARBADOS MERCURY, Jannary 11. 

BY the Anfon we have the following intelli 
gence. 

His.MA JESTY's Moft Gracious SPEECH to both 
Hôufes of Parliament, on Thurfday December 
thé çth, I78z. 

My Lords and Gentlemen, 

SINCE the clofe of the laft feffions I have em 
ployed my whole time in the care and atten 
tion which the important and critical conjuncture 
of publick affairs required of me. 

1 loft no time in giving the neceflary orders to 
prohibit the further protecution of oftenfive war 
upon the continent of North America. Adopting, 
at my inclination will always lead me to do, with 
decifion and effect, whatever I collect to be the 
fenfe of my Parliament and my People, I have 
pointed all my views and meafures, as well in Eu- 
sope as in North America, to an entire and cordial 
Reconciliation with thofe colonies. 

Finding it indifpenfable to the attainment of thii 
object, I did not hefitate to go the full length of 
the powers veiled in me, and- offered to declare 
them free and independent dates, by an article to 
be inferted in the treaty of peace. Provifional ar 
ticles are agreed upon, to take effect whenever 
terms of peace (hall be finally fettled with the Court 
of France. 

In thus admitting their feparation from the crown 
of thefe kingdoms, I have facrificed every confide- 
ration of my own to the wifhes and opinion of my 
jieople. I make it my humble and earnell prayer 
to Almighty God that Great Britain may not feel 
the evils which might refult from fo great a dif- 
roerobetmcnt of the empire; and that America 
may be free from thefe calamities which have for 
merly proved in the Mother Country how eßential 
tn jnarchy is to the enjoyment of conftitutional li 
ke fty.—Religion, language, intereft, affection, 
HWy, and I hope will, yet prove a bond of per 
manent union between the two countries : To this 
end neither attention nor difpofition (hall be want 
ing en my part. 

While 1 have carefully abftained from all offen- 
five operations againft America, I have directed my 
whole force by land and fea againft the other pow 
ers at war, with as much vigour as the fituation of 
that force at the commencement of the campaign 
would p'ermit. I truft that you feel the advantages 
refulting from the fafety of'the great branches of 
our trade ; you muft have feen with pride and fa- 
tisfadtion the gallant defence mode by the Governor 
and garrifon of Gibraltar ; and my fleet, after 
having effefled the object of iheir deftination, of 
fering battle to the combined force of France and 
Spain on their own coafts ; thofc of my kingdoms 
have remained .at the fame time perfectly fecure, 
and your domeftick tranquillity uninterrupted. 
This refpectable ftate,. under the bleffing of God, 
I attribute to the entire confidence which fulfills 
between me and my people, and to the readinefs 
•which has been (hewn by my fuhjects in my city of 
London, and in nther parts of my.kingdoms, to 
iland forth in the general defence.,, Some proofs 
have lately been given of publick fpirit in private 


men which would do honour te any age, and any 
country. 

Having manifefted to the whole world, by the 
mod lading examples, thefigr.al fpirit and( bra very 
of my people, I conceived it a moment not unbe 
coming my dignity, and thought it a regard due to 
the lives and fortunes of fuch brave and gallant 
fubjects, to fhew myfelf ready on my part to em 
brace fair and honourable terms of accommodation 
with all the powers at war. 

I have the fatisfaction to acquaint you that ne. 
gociations to this effect are confiderably advanced, . 
the refult of which, as foon as they are brought to 
a conclufion, (hail be immediately communicated to 
you. 

I have every reafon to hope and believe that I 
(hall have it in my power, in a very (hört time, to 
acquaint you, that they have ended in terms of 
pacification, which, I truft, you will fee juft caufe 
to approve. I rely, however, with perfect confi 
dence on the wifdom of my Parliament, and the 
fpirit of my people, that, if any unforeseen change 
in the difpofition of the belligerent powers fhould 
frudrate my confident expectation!!, they will ap 
prove of the preparations I have thought it advife- , 
able to make, and be ready to fécond the moft vi. 
gorous efforts in the further profccution of the war. _ 
j Gentlemen ef the Houfe of Cimmons* 

I have endeavoured, by every meafure in my 
power, to diminiih the burthen of my people. I 
loft no time in taking the moll decided meafurei 
for introducing a'better ccconomy into the expen 
diture of the army. 

I have carried into flrift execution the feveral 
reductions in my civil hft expences, directed by an 
aft of the laft feffions. I have introduced a further 
reform into other departments, and fuppreffed fe 
veral finecure places in them. I have by this means 
fo regulated my eftabiifhments that my expence in 
future ftull not exceed my income. 

I have ordered the eltimate of the civil lift debt 
laid before you laft feffions to be compleated. The 
debt proving fomewhat greater than could be then 
correctly ftated, and the propofed reduction not 
immediately taking place, I truft you will provide 
for the deficiency, fecuring as before the payment 
cut of my annual income. 

1 have ordered inquiry to be made into the ap 
plication of the fums voted in fupport of the Ame 
rican fufferers ; and I truft you will agree with me, 
that a due and generous attention ought to be (hewn 
to thofe who have relinquifhed their properties or 
pofieffions from motives of loyalty to me, or at 
tachment to the Mother Country. 

As it may be neceffary to give liability to fome 
regulations by aft of Parliament, I have ordered 
accounts of the feveral eftabiifhments, incidental 
expences, fees and other emoluments of office, to 
be laid before you. Regulation« having already 
taken place iu fome, which it is my intention to 
extend to 'all, and which, befides expediting all 
publick bufinefs, muft produce a very confiderable 
faving, without taking from that ample encourage 
ment which ought to be held forth to talents, di 
ligence, and integrity, wherever they are to be 
found. 

I have .directed an inquiry to be made into 
whatever regards the landed revenue of my crown, 
as well as the management of my woods and fo- 
refts, that both may be made as beneficial as pof- 
fibie, and that the latter may furnifh a certain re- 
fource for fupplying the navy, our great national 
bulwark, with its firft material. 

I have directed an investigation into the depart 
ment of the Mint, that the purity of the coin, of 
fo much importance to commerce, may be always 
adhered to, that, by rendering the difficulty of 


counterfeiting greater, the live» of nuinberi »nay 
be faired, and every needlefs «xpence in it ftt, ~"--* 
prefled. 

I muft recommend to yon an immédiate atteiu 
tion to the great objects of the publick receipts and 
expenditure, and above all to the ftate of the pub- 
lick debt. Notwithftanding the great increafe of 
it during the war, it is to be hoped that fuch re 
gulation» may ftill be eftablifhed, fuch fairings made, 
and future loans fo conducted, as to promote the 
means of its gradual redemption by a fixed courfe 
of payment. I muft, with patticular earnednefs, 
diftinguifh for your ferions confideration that part 
of the debt which confifts of navy, ordnance, and 
victualling bills; the enormous difcount upon fome 
of thefe bills (hews this mode of payment to be a 
moft ruinoui expedient. 

I have ordered the feveral eftimates, made up as 
correctly as the prefent practice admits, to be laid 
before you. I hope that fueh further corrections a« 
may be neceßkry will b* made before the next 
year. It is my defire that you fhould be apprized 
of every expence, before it is incurred, as far as 
the nature of each fervice can pofiibly admit. Mat» 
ters of accounts can never be made too publick. 

My lardt and Gentlemen, 
The fcarcity and confeqiïent high price of corn 
requires your inftant interpofition. 

The great cxccfs to which the crimes of theft 
and robbery, in many inftances accompanied with 
perfonal violence, particularly m the neighbourhood 
of this metropolis, has called of late for a ftrictand 
fevere execution of the laws. It were much to be 
wifhed that thefe crimes could be prevented in their 
infancy, by correcting the vices become prevalent 
in a moft alarming degree. 

The liberal principles adopted by you concerning • 
the rights and commerce of lieland have done you 
the higheft honour, and will, I truft, infùre that 
harmony which ought always to fubfift between 
the two kingdoms. I am perfuaded that a genera! 
increafe of commerce throughout the empire will 
prove the wifdom of your meafures with regard to 
that object. I would recommend to you a revifioc 
of our whole trading fyftem upon the fame com« 
prehenfive principles, with a view to its utmoft 
poffible extenfion. ~" 

The regulation of a vaft territory in Afia opens 
a large field for your wifdom, prudence, and fore- 
fight. I truft that you will be able to frame fome 
fundamental laws which may make their connexion 
with Great Britain a blefling to India, and that 
you will take therein proper meafures to give alt 
foreign nations, in matters of foreign commerce, 
an entire and perfect confidence in the probity, 
punctuality, and good order, of ou- government. 
You may be afîiired that whatever depends upon 
me (hall be executed with a fteadinefs wbich can 
alone preferve that part of my dominioni, or the 
commerce which arifes from it. 

It is the fixed object of my heart to make the 

general good, and the fpirit of the conftitution, the J 

immediate rule of my conduct, and on all occafiona • 

to advance and reward merit in every profeffion. \ 

To infure the full advantage' of a government I 

conducted on fuch principles depends ou your tern. ; 

per, your wifdom, your difintereuednefs, coilcc- • 

lively and individually. ~ , 1 

My people expect thefe qualifiations in you, and; I 

I call for them. J

ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. 

T is surely much to be lamented, that in the daily Advancement of almost every Art and Science to Perfection 
that of Physic, so essential to the Happiness and Well-being of Society, should make but a comparatively slow 
and doubtful Progress. This melancholy Observation will however cease to surprise us, when we consider that 
the best Efforts of the most eminent Physicians are continually frustrated by the Interference of daring Empirics 
and illiterate Pretenders to the inferior Agencies in the Profession, whose only Object is present emolument, and 
xvho seldom hesitate at using damaged Materials, or substituting some cheap Article where the Taste, Smell,-or mere 
external Similitude to the Medicine prescribed, happens to favour the Imposition; though its Operation and 
Effect on the particular Constitution may be widely different to the Intention of the Physician, and not unfrequently 
produce Events the most formidably alarming. 

That the Community should have so long submitted to Acts of Fraud and Mischief, in their Nature so peculiarly 
baneful, may. well heJthe. Subject both ofL/VataiMshuipnt and Complaint. The COLLEGE o£ PHYSICIANS, venerable., 
in their Institution as respectable in their Members, have, indeed, to their immortal Honour, exerted themselves 
to effect a Reformation in this truly important Concern ; but how little the Success of their Endeavours has as 
yet corresponded with the Benevolence of their Wishes, the following admonitory Letter of October last only, 
will sufficiently evince. 
(COPY.) 

" COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS, 

" Warwick-Lane, October z$tb. 1792. 

" THE College of Physicians of London have received a Report from the Censors of the last 
" and present Years, that upon their general Visitation of the Shops of Apothecaries and Druggists of this Town, 
" they found many of the Medicines of bad Quality, and others improperly prepared.—They therefore give public 
" Notice, that if, upon a future Examination, Medicines of the above Description should be found, they are 
" resolved to exercise the Authority vested in them by Law, for the Correction of such Misconduct. 

(Signed) " JAMES HERVEY, Register." 

The disingenuous Expedient of substituting one Article for another, is indeed but too commonly practiced, even 
by those who have been regularly bred in the subordinate Department of the Profession—either from^ Defect in 
the due Assortment and proper Variety of Drugs—or from an Opinion, that being Men of respectable Education, 
they possess discretionary Powers, to which, however, they can have no Right in Cases where a Physician is 
consulted ; this Idea having already opened a Door to Proceedings the most unjustifiable, and no less injurious to 
Medical Reputation than to the Health of the Community at large.—They who will stand forward in endeavour- 
ing to obviate Grievances of such serious Magnitude—so justly and universally complained of—will surely deserve 
more from the Public, than the mere Authors of any Treatise, however learned and elaborate, in Lamentation only 
of the existing Evil. 

Actuated, it is humbly conceived, by motives far more laudable, animated by Reflections more truly consonant 
to the Interests of Humanity, and supported by an implicit Confidence of Encouragement from a diserning and 
generous Community, Mr. GREEN has opened a NEW MEDICINAL WAREHOUSE, at No. 14, EDWARD- 
STREET, PORTMAN-SQUAUE, under the Appellation of the " MEDICINAL REFEKTORIUM," where the best 
and most genuine Articles made use of in Medicine, may be had at all Times, prepared in the most faithful and 
accurate Manner, and in full Compliance with the immediate Order of the Physician. 

Sensible of the high Respectability and Reputation in which Apothecaries'-Hall is justly held, .it is with the 
utmost Deference he remarks, that the Advantages arising from that Institution being in a^great Measure local, 
he has been led to flatter himself that his Effbrts to Establish a Warehouse for pure and-unsophisticated Medicines 
at the WEST END flfthe TOWN, and thereby extend the Benefits derived from the other, will eventually insure 
general Approbation and Support. 

To obtain more completely the Confidence of the Public, the Proprietor pledges himself that each Individual 
employed in this salutary Institution, shall enter into the most solemn Obligation, that every Article of the 
Materia Medica, and its various Combinations, as directed by the last London Pharmacopoeia, shall be of the best 
Quality that can be procured, and that no Succedaneum whatever shall be used, nor shall any Deviation (even the 
most trifling) be permitted from the actual Composition as literally directed by the Physician in his Formula 
or Prescription. 

In order to be as concise in this Address as is consistent with the respect due to the Public, it seems superfluous 
to say more; it may not, however, be improper to acquaint them, that the present Institution lias already 
received the particular Approbation of several eminent Physicians in this Metropolis, and that the original 
Institutor, who has been regularly instructed in the Profession, at one of the first Universities in the Kingdom for 
Medical Information, will continue his Assistance, with other Gentlemen of professional Knowledge. 

N. B. As it may frequently happen, that Servants entrusted with Prescriptions, may through Idleness, or other 
Motives, carry them to some nearer Place than that to which they are directed ; the Public are particularly requested 
to observe, that every Parcel or Packet of Medicines delivered at the REPERTORIUM, shall have a Certificate 
affixed and signed by the Préparer (with the Price also marked,) without which, the Proprietor cannot hold 
himself responsible; and through this Medium, every supposed Imposition or Mistake may be detected.

 ' Supplement to the Augwfta Chromce, 
April 1 6. 

The. following is a C-opy of the Meffage from the Prefident, 

which was read on We.dnefd.ay tht $oth ult. in the Houfe 

of Rcpreftntalives of the United States : ' 

Gentlemen of the Houfe of Reprefentatives, 

p 71 /TTH the utmoft attention I have con- 

"V \ fidered your refolution of the 24th 

inftant, requeuing me to lay before your 

houfe, a copy of the inftructions to the mi- 

nifter of the United States, who negociated 

the treaty with the king of Great- B ritain, 

together with the correfpondence and other 

documents relative to that .treaty, excepting 

fuch of the faid papers as any exifting négo 

ciation may render improper to be difclofed. 

In deliberating upon this fubject, it was 

impoffible for me to lofe fight of the princi 

ple which fome have avowed in its difcuffion, 

or to avoid extending my views to the con- 

fequences which muft flow from the admif- 

fion of that principle. 

I truft that no part of my conduct has ever 
indicated a difpofition to withhold any infor 
mation which the Constitution has enjoined 
upon the Prefident as a duty to give ; or 
which ceuld be required of him by either 
houfe of Congrefs as a right; and with truth 
I affirm, that is has been, as it will continue 
to be, while I have the honor to prefide in 
the government, my confiant endeavor to 
harmonize with tne other branches thereof; 
fo far as the truft delegated to me by the" 
people of the United States ; and my fenfe 
of the obligation it impofes, to "preferve, 

. au*i HpfpnH l-bf rtir-fHtur'mn/' will 


permit. 

The nature of foreign négociations requires 
caution ; and their fuccçfs muft often depend 
on fecrecy, and even when brought to a 
conclufion, a full difclofure of all the mea- 
fures, demands, or eventual conceflions, which 

• may have been propofed or contemplated, 
would be extremely impolitic ; for this might 
have a pernicious influence on future négo 
ciations ; or produce immediate inconveni 
ences ; perhaps danger and mifchief, in re 
lation to other powers. The neceffity of inch 
caution and fecrecy was one cogent reafon 
for vefting the power of making treaties in 
the prefident, with the advice and confient 
of the fenate ; the principle on which that 
body was formed confining it to a fmall 
number of members. To admit, then, a 
right in the houfe of reprefentatives to de 
mand, and to have as matter of cou rfe, all 
the papers, refpecting a négociation with 
a foreign power, would be to eftablifli a 
dangerous precedent. 

It does not^ occur that the inflection of 
the papers afked for, can be relative to any 
pnrpofe under the recognizance of the houfe of 
reprefcntatives, except that of an impeachment ; 

V which the refolution has not exprefîèd. I re 
peat that I have no difpofition to withhold any 
information which the duty of my ftation will 

——permit, or the public good fLall require to be 
, clif clofed -, and in fact, all the papers affecting 

- ' he négociation with Great-Britain, were laid 
ijefbre the fenate, when the treaty itfelf was 

^^^wiunicated for their conliderauon arid ad 
vice. 


The courfe which the debate has taken, ot\ 
the refolution of the houfe, leads to fome ob-. 
fervations on the mode of making treaties un 
der the conftitution of the United States. 

Having been a member of the general con 
vention, and knowing the principles on which 
the conftitution was formed, I have ever en 
tertained but one opinion on this, fubject ; and 
from the firft eftablifhment of the government 
to this moment, my conduct has exemplified 
that opinion, that the power of making treaties 
is exclufively vefted in the prefident, by and 
with the advice and confent of the fenate, pro 
vided two thirds of the fenators prefent concur ? 
and that every treaty fo made, and promulgat 
ed, thenceforward became the law of the Und. 
It is thus that the treaty making power has 
been underftood by foreign nations ; and in all 
treaties made with them, we have declared^ 
and they have believed, that when ratified by 
the prefident, with the advice and confent of 
the fenate, they became obligatory. In this 
conftruction of the conftitution, every houfe of 
reprefentatives has heretofore acquiefced ; and 
until the prefent time, not a doubt or fufp.cion, 
has appeared to my knowledge, that this con 
ftruction was not the true one. Nay, they 
have more than acquiefced; for till now, 
without controverting the obligation of fuch 
treaties, they have made all the requifite pro-, 
vifions ior carrying them into effect. 

There is alfo reafon to believe that this con- 
ftruction agrees with the opinions entertained 
by the ftate conventions, when they were deli 
berating on the conftitution ; efpecially by 
thofe who objected to it, becaufe there was not 
J^e^jmredin commercial treaties, the confent of 

~^^t-~.',,„"' i!l_ T:T ~™—r*~. i ••>.»»-.—_i——i. _ i ~ ~~~~ — y» 

-orthcfevtïe^ 


. 

inftead of two thirds of the fenators prefent ; 
and becaufe in treaties refpecting territorial 
and certain other rights and claims, the con 
currence of three fourths of the whole number < 
of the members of both houfes refpectively 
was not made neceflary, 

It is a fact declared by the general conven 
tion, and univerfally un lerftood, that the con 
ftitution of the United States was the reluit of 
a fpirit of amity and mutual conceffion, And 
it is well known that under this influence, the 
fmaller ftatcs were admitted to an equal repre- 
fentation in the fenate, with the larger fiâtes ; 
and that this branch of the government was 
invefted with great powers ; tor on the equal 
participation of thofe powers the fovereignty 
and political fafety of the fmaller ftatcs were 
deemed eflentially to depend. 

If other proofs than thcfe, and the plain letter of the 
conftitution itfelf, be neceflary to afcertain the ^oint un 
der confideraiion, they may be found in the journals of 
the general convention, which I have depofited in the 
oSke of the department of ftate. In thole journals it 
will appear, that a proj'ofition was made, " that no 
treaty fhould be binding on the United States which was 
not ratified by a law ;'* and that the pro^ofuion was e^- 
plicitly rejected. 

As, therefore, it is perfectly clear to my underftand- 
ing, that the aflentof.the houfe of reprefentaiives is not 
neceffary to the validity of a treaty ; As the treaty with 
Great-Britain exhibits, in itfelf, all the objefts requiting 
legiflative provifron ; and on thefe the papers, called for 
can throw no light ; and as it is effential to the due ad- 
miniftration of the government, that the boundaries fixed, 
by the conftitution, between the different departments, 
fhould be preferred,— a juft regard to the conftitution, 
and to the duty of my office, under'all the circumftan- 
ces of this cafe, forbid a compliance with your requeft,

 " NORTH STATE LEAD." 


We have been selling this PAINT over ten 
years, and are warranted in offering it to those 
who have not tried it, as equal in most respects to 
the best pure Lead. It is made for our use by 
one of the most responsible Paint Houses in this 
country, under the guarantee of being a combina 
tion of Carbonate of Lead. Whiting and Linseed 
Oil, which combination Chemists assure us gives 
the following results : First, it covers nearly as 
much space as pure Lead ; Second, it is whiter ; 
Third, is more durable ; Fourth, will not "chalk 
off " and stands a Southern sun better than pure 
Lead. These claims seem to be. well established. 
Then, if so, and the price is less than pure Lead, 
why not try it? Your orders and inquiries respect 
fully requested. Also, Proprietors of "Every 
body's" well-known Mixed Paints, which have 
been used extensively and given general satis 
faction. 

BOYKIN, CARRIER & CO. 


 This preparation has been carefully compounded of several medi- 

. eines, each individually of known value and efficacy, in combining 

which, we have found that each one of them haß greatly enhanced 

the value and curative powers of the whole — making this remedy a 

safe, certain and positive cure for the above mentioned disease. 

Its general use for more than twenty years by thousands who 
con 1, if necessary, odd their testimony to its ppmpt and curative 
acti -a, fully proves its great value ana, popularity. 

In all cases of looseness of the bowels, fluxes, etc., it invariably 
gives immediate relief and comfort, gradually restraining the mo 
tions of the intestines, .soothing and healing their irritated or in 
flamed mucous membrane, lessening the frequency of their action, 
calming the tenesmus, or straining efforts, and almost impercepti 
bly curing the disease and restoring the bowels to their regular 
and healthy condition. 

It was only by research, experiment and practical observation, 
that we determined upon the number and proportions of the various 
medical substances incorporated in our Diarrhoea Mixture. After 
fully testing for years its unrivalled excellence, we now giv,e it to 
thn public with the most unequivocal assurance that it is one of the 
best, if not the very best remedy ever oflered for the complete cure 
of Diarrhoea and its kindred affections.

liberal education and a full quota of genuine 
wit. A short time ago Jim and Bet, a colored 
pair, called upon the magistrate to be united 
for better or worse. The magistrate having 
been notified of their coming, prepared and 
actually used the following ceremouy: 

"Jim, will you take Bet, 
Without any regret, 
To love and cherish, 
'Till one of you perish, 
And is laid under the sod, 
Where you will forever nod" 

After being answered in the affirmative by 
Jim, the magistrate turned to Bet and said: 

•'Bet, will you take Jim, 
And cling to him, 
Both out and in, 
Through thick and thin, 
Holding him to your heart, 
'Till death do you part?" 

Bet agreed by a modest bow of the head, 
and now the happy pair was dismissed as fol 
lows: 

"Through life's alternate joy and strife, 
I now pronounce you man and wife. 
Go up life's hill 'till you get to the level, 
and salute your bride, you black, rusty devil." 

The Arkansas magistrate does it this way: 
"Stand up; join hands; hitched! Five dollars 
please."

 "I'LL BUY WHERE S CAIM BUY CHEAPEST," 

Is the aim of every merchant and the dictate of common sense, and if any man goes a tJwusand miles from home, to pay 
more for DOMESTICS than they cost at his own door, it must be because he has not tried the HOME MARKET. 


Has recently purchased the " HOWARD FACTORY," and having thus increased its capacities for production, is now accumulating 
a larger supply than usual of Domestics, consisting of — 

of tliree qualities, A. I», and <_'., lor iicg-i-o men's ^vein-; 

I^TNSEYS, STvpei'ioi.' styles, foi' negro women's "wear; 
J^OTS TTÎO^VHEISH, vai-ioTis stylos and ooloi'S, a favorite artic-le for jilajitoi-H' woai-. 

COTTON STRIPES, well known every where as COLUMBUS FASHIONS; 

4-4 Sheetings... ............ ......7-8 Shirtings........ .............Osnaburgs Nos. 1 and 2; 

COTTONADES, of various styles and prices; 

COTTON BOPE, (machine made) for Plough Line, Bed Cord and Well Hope, each coil in one piece ; 

COTTON YARNS, Nos. 4 to 12... ......... ......SEWING THREAD.. ............ ....TWINE. 

• All these goods the Company is prepared to supply promptly, in any quantity, at prices much cheaper than the same goods, 
or any thing equal to them, can be bought at the North and laid down here. 

To illustrate this : Take a bale of Sheetings, (an article whose value is so well known by all dealers, that no mistake can 
be made in computing) and compare the cost here with the cost of one bonght at the North and laid down here — say : 

1 bale Sheetings, 1000 yards, weight 355 Ibs., measure 17 7-12 cubic Now take a bale of same goods, bought iu Columbus of Eagle 

feet, now worth in New York S%c.................... ........................ $97 SO . Factory, say 1000 yds. at 8%e., on time................................ $88 75

less if by sail vessel)................. .................................... ......1 76 $79 88 

•' Insurance on $90 at ^ by steamer (and more if by sail vessel) 56 Thus we have — 

'• Drayage, Wharfage and Postage in Savannah.......................... 15 1 bale Sheetings bought on time iu New York...................................... $94 59 

" Freight by Rail Road on 355 Ibs. at $1.15.......... ....... .............4 08 1 " " '• '• '• in Columbus...................................... 8875

——— Difference in fevor of Columbus.................................................. _ .. $5 84 

Making cost (if bought on time) laid down here............................. $94 59 or nearly %c. per yard. 

or, if bought for cash, 5 per cent oft*.......... ................................... 4 71 Again — 

——— 1 bale Sheetings bought for cash in New York...................................... $89 88 

$8988 1 " '• « « '•' in Columbus.................. ..................... 7988 

Difference iu favor of Columbu.9........ ................................................ $10 00 

or 1C. per yard. 

A comparison of other Cotton Goods will show more favorable results tor the Home market, because where the bale is 

• heavier, and the number of yards smaller, the expense of laying the goods down here is increased in proportion. 
In Woolen Goods the difference against the Foreign market will be still greater, as the goods are heavier and have fewer 
yards to the bale. To show this : Take a bale of Negro Kerseys, a well known description of goods. Thus — 

1 bale Kerseys, 470 yds., weight 300 Ibs., measure 15 cubic feet, Now take a bale of same geods, benght in Columbus of the 

470 yds., valued say nt 26c................... _ .......:.......................... $122 20 Eagle Factory, say 1 bale, 470 yds, nt 26c... .............. .......... $122 20

or if for rash in New York. 5 per rent. off.................................... 6 43 or over l%e. per yard. 

————— Again —

1 " " " " in Columbus........... .............................. 10998 

Difference in favor of Columbus.. ...................................................... $12 34 

; or 2%c. per yard. 

The Home market has advantages in other respects. A merchant buying in New York, id ft buy more goods wbile there 
than he actually needs at the time, lest he should be out of goods when he does need them, while here at home he eau buy as it. 
were "from hand to mouth," supplying himself just as he needs; thus saving interest, insurance and exchange. 

The Eagle Company asks no "support for Southern Industry," <r.s such, but simply npnn the fact of furnishing goods 
cheaper than Northern Houses can. 

All orders to be addressed to 


J. RHODES BJROWNE, .Agent,

Should any one claim to be relieved from half of said obligation by reason of his being a minister of any church, his obli - 
gatioii may be so credited upon satisfactory evidence made to the Board of Trustees that he is entitled thereto. 

Provided, however, that these obligations shall not be required from any person selected by the sons of the donor of the 
fund, Gov. Jos. E. Brown, if at the time he applies for admission into the University he shall produce a writing from the son

THE MODE OF SELECTING BENEFICIARIES. 

SEC. 5. On or before the first day of April, annually, the Faculty of the University at Athens shall prepare questions 
proper to show the proficiency of applicants, and to show which class in the University they are prepared to enter. Copies of 
these questions shall be sealed up, and by the Chancellor sent so sealed to such person or persons as may be by them selected to 
conduct such exsmination. 

This list of questions so sealed up shall be accompanied by a letter requesting the person receiving the same, not to open 
said sealed package until the day, and at the place appointed for examination. At said time and place, such package shall be 
opened and all applicants be required then and there before leaving the room, and without communicating with any one, to 
write each question and his answer thereto and deliver the same to the examiner or examiners, who shall forward the same to 
the Chancellor of the University of Georgia, at Athens, Georgia, by mail or express, with his or their certificate_ upon honor 
that the package containing the questions was so kept, sealed, and opened only at the time and place of examination, and that 
the answers sent to him were then and there made as appears by the several applicants before leaving the room, and without 
communicating with any one. But no applicant need answer any of the questions prepared for a class higher than he wishes to 
enter, and no person already in the University need be so examined. 

The Chancellor shall submit said examinations, and the standing of those already in the University, to the faculty for 
consideration, and report to this Board on the first day of its annual session designating the persons whom they find best quali 
fied for the place sought, and such other facts as may be needful to decide who shall have the loans. 

He shall at the same time, submit all evidences of qualifications which may have been filed by the several applicants. 

From the facts aforesaid, the Board shall select the persons to rti eive the loans during the regular meeting so soon there 
after as may be, and report tha same to the Chancellor who shall notify the applicants of their decision as early as practicable. 

The places selected for said examinations shall be selected with a view to save all unnecessary expenses and travel iu 
reaching the same. 

SEC. 6. This plan shall be substantially followed for selections for Dahlonega, or such school as may take its place, except 
that the questions shall be prepared by its faculty. The examinations shall be held in each Senatorial District, and in one 
place in South Carolina, and be sent to the President of the North Georgia Agricultural College at Dahlonega, or such person as 
may represent the head of such Branch College or school, be considered by the faculty and by its President, reported to this 
Board at its annual meeting. 

SEC. 7. This plan of administering this fund is tentative and subject to change at any annual meeting of this Board by a 
majority of those present voting. 

_ AMENDMENTS. 

———-•——™--——— ^"y—-"" —

 ,IW 

1 CERTAIN PRINCIPLES, AND OBSERVATIONS, 

i- 

, ON the late rescinding act of the state of Georgia, in 1796, and the convention there 
after had—submitted for consideration* 


1ft. WHEN the people of a reprefentative government aflemble in conven 
tion, is it not a refumption of all their natural righls ? and do not all the powers 
of conflituted government, and every delegated authority return into their hands ? 
are not legiflative a£ts, then in operation, annulled, and no more ? and in the con- 
flitutionof the new form of government, muß they not provide efpecially for the 
continuation, and further operation of the legiflative *6ls exifling before fuch con-, 
vention ? The fourteenth fedlion of the fourth article of the conflitmion of Georgia, 
and olher conftitutions of other ftates, will fliew the caution, and care with which 
this principle is attended to. 

2d. Is not the late conflitution of Georgia, excluding the act of 1795, by an 
exprefs adoption, and recognition of the refcinding £.61 of 1796, a complete, and 
constitutional abrogation of the law of 1795 ? 

3d. Is there not a material difference between a legiflative repeal of a law, by 
me*ely caufihg its future op^saj^ion to ceafe, leaving its pafl to remain ; and a total 
abrogation, ftriking at its eaufes^ and origin, and rendering it void ab origine, from 
motives of urgent policy ? 

4th. Is not the voice of a nation, or ftate, in convention, in regard to the facts, 
aad motives of any conventional a£l, averred by there., of the higheft evidence ? 
and can fuch averment be traverfed or denied any whe re ? 

5th. It is fubmitted if any purchafers under any g rantees of a legiflature, who 
covenant with fuch grantees to hold their purchafc, " in the place, manner, and 
stead" of fuch grantees (as appears the New England p irchafers did in a late pam 
phlet, page 94) can claim otherwife than asfuch granf ses could/ 

i_ _ __,__— ————•—————- 

6th. Can the original grantees of any legiflature, \ ho partake in any ati with 
" fuch body, as may vitiate the grant, take advantage of Their own wrong ? and «are 
not their fub-purchafers exprefsly covenanting with t em " to hold in their plfoce, 
manner, and stead" a complete substitution ? and are t: sy notTubje£t to all the dif- 
advantages, and difqualifications of any fuch a£t that n ly vitiate the firfl purchafeT^ 
and the very covenant Ihews an idea of rifque tf. — _^ 


 7th. It is fubmitted that the law of 1795 cannot be partially refcinded ; it must 
bind all alike if at all, both grantors and grantees : but by the rescidingact and the 
i conflitution of Georgia, it cannot bind the grantors : it therefore cannot operate as 
a law between grantors and grantees. 

8th. From the lafl position the question will naturally arife, was the power 
which abrogated the law of 1795, competent to it ? 

9th. Suppofe the legislature of a representative government, was to fell the 
i country and people to foreigners, could not a convention abrogate this act ? On 
what principles is our independence fupported ? 

10th. Can a constitution made by the people, be deemed an ex post facto act of 
legislation ? Can the federal conftitution be conftrued to abridge the natural con 
ventional rights of any State ? Are they not fecured as the refiduum of their rights 
and the dernier fafeguard of focial union ? 

11th. Was not the right of individuals to fue a ftate, given by the federal con 
stitution, and not by a legislative act?—and was not that conftitution altered, and; 
k fuch right taken away, and a number of fuchfuits (on contract too) which had been 
long depending and in progrefs when fuch alteration of the conftitution took place, 
deftroyed and difcontinued ? and was not fuch determination on the alteraiion of 
the conftitution made by a full bench of the fupreme court at Philadelphia, ia Au 
gust 1797, by which all fuch fuits were abolifhed ? where is the efiential difference 
in principle, between this federal act or exercise of the refcinding power, ana that 
of the ftate of Georgia ? if any, is it not in favour o^Georgia ?—the federal consti 
tution ex post facto took away a constitutional rightabrogated it ; but it was a legis 
lative fale only which was abrogated in Georgia, and by constitutional authority1; by 
the convention of the people. \ 

12th. How far thefe are reconcileable to the principles laid down in a l^te 
publication, I leave others to determine. -\ 

13th. The author of this, fincerely wishes ample compenfation to every innov 
cent and just purchafer, no r will he attempt any difcrimination here who are, and 
who are not ; he fubmits t ie foregoing to the better judgment of others, conclud 
ing^ with are mark on a go< d old Spanifh proverb, " that no wife man or prudent 
' man, will throw stones at h: s neighbor's houfie or ftrong hold, when he knows his 
own is made of glafs." ~

 Savannah, August , 1807. 

FRIENDS AND FELLOW-CITIZENS, 

In obedience to the instructions of the Permanent 
Committee, I send you, enclosed, a Copy of the Resolutions 
and Proceedings of my Fellow-Citizens of Savannah, to 
which your co-operation is invited. 

Your personal influence will have great weight at this 
momentous crisis, and much is expected from y our patriotic 
example. 

The brutal, savage and infamous attack on the United 
States9 frigate, the Chesapeake, in sight of our coast, when 
we were reposing in the bosom of peace, and unsuspicious of 
perfidious hostility, is eminently calculated to excite the 
warmest sentiments of hatred and indignation in the breast 
of every American, until ample atonement is made by the 
government of Britain.......That your fellow-citizens wilt 

express those sentiments which the occasion calls for is ear* 
nestly solicited. 

Let us all unite in the determination to support the Ge* 
neral and State Governments, in the measures which the

JUNE 18, 1812. 


 HAVING, as agent for Messrs. Livingston and Fulton, and under the immediate direction 
of Mr. Fulton explored the sounds and waters south of the River Potomack, and Chesapeak 
Bay, I do certify there is but the three following obstructions to an Inland communication 
between St. Mary's at East Florida, and the waters of the James River and Chesapeak Bay: 

To wit.—The portage or haul-over between the head of "> „ j 
the sound North of Cape Fear River, and that River. 3 ¥ 

The portage at Smithville, a few miles south of the for- 7 
mer portage, and of the Cape Fear River. 5 

The portage from Waccamaw to Little River Inlet. 3 & $ 


Total of computed distance. 5 & |- miles. 

There are a very few other places that require some trifling clearing and improvement to 
complete the course to be run in such a manner as to leave no possible obstruction to boats of 
an easy draft of water—namely, 

One in the sound, one or two miles North of deep Inlet; which could be cleared out in 
a day by fifty good labouring men. 

The Navigation of Musquito Creek, near George-Town, South-Carolina, would be much 
shortened and improved by two cuts that would not cost much. And 4 mile Creek, at Santee, 
might probably be improved by a little clearing—though it, as well as Musquito Creek, is 
navigable at present. 

There being but a short portage between the head of a Beatable Creek, emptyingmto the , 
Waccamaw Lake, and the head of a beatable Creek, emptying into the Cape Fear River, which 
if cut through would supercede the necessity of a cut at Smithville, or Little River Inlet. 
It may be well worth the enquiring, if it would not be most conducive to the public interest to 
cut open that line of communication, as it would be so much farther inland, without being 
longer, and of course so much more beneficial. 

From the nature of the soil to be cut through in each place, I am convinced that g 3,500 per 
mile, if judiciously applied, will be fully sufficient for cutting and completing it to the breadth 
and depth that is requisite, and that the whole of the clearings I have spoken'of, will cost but 
a trifle in addition.

 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, > 

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, I82i. S 

WHEREAS, in and by Treaties made with the Cherokee Indians, to wit:— 
one concluded at the Cherokee Agency, on the 8th day of July, 1817, and one held 
by the Honorable John C. Calhoun, at the City of Washington, on the S7th day of 
February, 1*19—certain reserves were made for the benefit of particular Indians, or 
descendants of Indian families, many of which are now in the possession of persons 
claiming to be those in whose favor said reserves were made: Jlnd whereas, the Legis 
lature of 1818, believing said reserves to be unjust and contrary to any right which 
the United States had to make the same, did, in an act passed the 15th of December, 
1818, for disposing of the territory acquired under the aforementioned treaties, direct 
the said territory should be surveyed and subjected to Lottery, whereby many of the 
good citizens who drew land in the said Lottery, authorised by the act aforesaid, be 
came entitled to lots within the said reserves, and did receive for the same, legal and 
regular grants from the State of Georgia: Jtnd whereas, from the premises a conflict 
is now pending in some of the courts of justice in this state, between the said Indians 
and the citizens of Georgia, on the treaties and grants aforesaid, which is by no means 
calculated to secure and promote those good relations which ought to subsist between 
the State and General Government. To the end, therefore, that the same may be 
brought to a final and friendly adjustment? 

X 

Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor, be, and he is hereby requested to 
open a correspondence with the President of the United States, with a view, if possi 
ble, to procure through him or the Congress a satisfaction, in money or otherwise, to 
be made to said Indians in lieu of said reserves, that the said reserves may go to the 
citizens of this state, pursuant to the disposition made by the law aforesaid. 


Pesolced, That his Excellency the Governor furnish our Senators and Repre 
sentatives in Congress, with a copy of these resolutions, and request their attention to 
said business, and co-operation with the Governor to procure an adjustment of said 
difference, in such manner as will place our citizens in the possession of the land ob 
tained, under the title of the State aforesaid, 

Approved, 22d December, 1821.

 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, > 

December, 1821. 3 


The select committee, to whom was referred the communication of 
his Excellency the Governor, upon the subject of claims which accrued in 
favor of certain of our citizens for niiliiia services, rendered in the year 
seventeen hundred and ninety-two, three, and four, under the authority 
of the President of the United States, have bes:owed upon the refer 
ence an attention if not proportioned to the importance of the subject, 
at least as extensive as their time would admit. Your committee 
cannot withhold anjexpression of their surprise, that services rendered 
under such high sanctions, at such hazardous periods, and so beneficial 
in their results, should have passed so long even without the scanty 
'requital which constitutes the soldier's pay. But believing as your 
committee do, that neither the justice of the claim nor the disposition 
to satisfy it has been impaired by time, they have had reference to 
documents, by which they are induced to the recommendation of a 
"'course, in the success of which they have a confident hope. Your 
committee submit the following memorial : — 

The memorial of the Legislature of the State of Georgia to the 
President of the United States, sheweth — 

That your memorialists feel constrained through the highest organ 
of the government to make this appeal in behalf of a portion of the 
citizens of the state, whose interests have been long forgotten, or 
remembered but to be disregarded. Your memorialists cherish no 
belief that this protracted neglect has proceeded from a deliberate 
'•intention to practice to vards Georgia an act of injustice; and yet 
they_ are at a loss to assign a reasonable apology for the frequent re 
jection of such well founded demands. Georgia, from her exposed 
and frontier situation, has perhaps found it necessary to sustain more 
of the cruelties and sufferings incident to Indian aggression, than any 
state in the union. Although she was one of the original confedera 
tion, arid bore her full portion of the burthen by which the colonies 
were oppressed, yet the treaty of peace of seventeen huudred and 
eighty-three did not furnish that repose which resulted to others of 
the states, and which she so ardently wished. 

Her agonies were of longer duration, and were not alleviated by 

— the reflection -that-*W— wa*~ suffering in the cause of liberty. Her 

enemy was savage, and her warfare was for protection only. Your 

memorialists proceed to enumerate the grounds of their reliance for 

success. 

IR the year seventeen hundred and ninety-two, the frontier of the 
state, which was bounded by savages, was upwards of four hundred 
miles in extent. The Creek and Cherokee Nations were numerous 
and warlike, and wrought up to desperation by repeated defeats, and 
the total discomfiture of a more formidable foe, with whom they had 
lately been in close alliance. 

It was against these that Georgia had to make her defence ; she was 
young, her population sparse, and her resources few : yet being a mem 
ber of the union, she was entitled to protection. With a view to its 
attainment, a communication was made to the only authority capable 
of affording aid. In the fall of that year the Secretary of War, under 


 the directions of the President, vesied the Governor of Georgia with 
a discretion suited to the exigency, which deletion was exercised in 
a demand upon the Agent, of the United States for tarnishing supplies, 
to provide rations at different stations, for the militia that might be 
called into se-vice. The obedience which the agent yielded to-lJie de 
mand, is at least conclusive that he did not quei'ion his 'authority,- and 
the additional fact that the general government pjid the expence of the 
supplies, is conclusive that the authority existed, and that it was of 
the highest order. Your memor<dists see no dis-'motion between the 
obligation' to pay for the supplies, and the services rendered by those 
who received them. 

Rations and pay are inseparable, and form ihe .lecessatj i_u::.omi- 
tants of a soldier in service. Under the same authority ft line of f<ffta 
were built, from the seashore to the mountains, and garrisoned.Uy..suf 
ficient force.1 This-plan was in pursuance of the authority delegated, 
which required that the operations should oe purely " defensive»' If 
Georgia had conducted the enierprise without dependence and wjthout 
restraint, its character would have bee« daftl-rent. The murders, and 
aggressions of the spring of seventeen hundred and ninety-thr.ee,.inade 
those tribes the objects of just vengeance, and a war of externi iiaiLun, 
if in any case, would have bee» here justifiable. But the state having 
no original authority of her own, pursued her conformity to the rules 
which were prescribed. Being a mere ag-%nt, she had but to execute 
the will of her principal, and that will was expressed under limita 
tions which cost the lives of many of our citizens. The.-e , liiuitatioiis 
are to be found in a communication from the war department, dated in 
May, seventeen hundred and ninety-three, where from "considera 
tions of policy,'1 Georgia was directed tr> avoid "offensive expédiions." 
These considerations of policy were not predicated upon the s.ifeiy of 
our state, but were founded upon our relations " with foreign powers," 
and the pendency of "treaties with the northern Indian-." These 
facts are adverted to for the purpose of shewing, with the greater cer 
tainty, that Georgia did not act for herself, but that she was paying 
obedience to her federal head. Ano her circumstance carries this po 
sition beyond dispute—there is not to be found in ourslatu.e .bo.>k, 
or file, or of record in the State of Georgia any legislative auinuiit-y 
for the service which was rendered during those periods ; no one, how 
ever, doubts eithei the performance of the service, or its hazard and 
severity, i'he only question to be settled is, who is responsible lor 
the expence. 

•i Your memorialists, in disclaiming all liability on the part of Geor 
gia, will ever contend that a most solemn obligation rests upon, the 
•United States. An obligation doubly sacred, involving as it doe% the 
'faith of the Republic and the pledge of the Republic's father. Instan- 
i^ieesare:not.wanting to prove, that the like service during the same 
!.periods, and rendered under the like authority, has been compt-ns; tel 
from the general treasury, Georgia was not alone, during ihose tim^s 
of trial, in her exposure to the incursions of savages. The.stdle'pf 
; South Carolina, the north and south western territories, which huve 

• sine» been divided into rich and flourishing states, have had their 
periods of hostility; and although they past the boundary of defvttsive 

•.. warfare, and actually invaded the enemy's country, and this too

against orders, yet these have never been reduced to the humiliating 
necessity of repeating their application. If we be told that we have 
slumbered over oar rights, and that our demand is stale, we answer, 
that as between governments we know no limitation, «ad that the 
subject has been frequently brought to public notice by the able and 
violant representatives of the slate. It may be the misfortune of 
Georgia, that the evidence of the performance of these services is not 
so full and satisfactory as could be wished, but the defect proceeds 
from no omission of her o>vn. It may be her fur her misfortune, that 
she is compelled so often to repeat her application ; but this does not 
impair the strength of her claims. She renews the subject on this 
rmcasion under increased hopes of suc es» ; bi'Iieving that there is 
no dhprjitipn on the part of the general government to withhold 
from our state the things thai nru hers. -• • • 

Your memorialists beg leave to refer to the following documents, 
in support of their views upon the subject under investigation : 

Letter from the Secretary ?f War to the Governor of Georgia9 
dated the 27th of October, 1792. 

Another letter between the same parties, dated the 80th of May, 
1793.

Habersham, collector of the custom« ; and also to a report of the de 
partment of war, dated the 3d February, 1803. The whole of these, 
it is presumed, will be found in the office of the Secretary of War. 
The amounts which are claimed for the services rendered, are speci 
fied in the document last above referred to. 

Your memorialists pray that the subject may receive the considera 
tion to which it is entitled, and that the result may be to the benefit 
of the citizens of Georgia. 

Thf cotr.raittse also recommend the adoption of the following réso 
lu'ion!- : 

Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be requested to trans 
mit copies of the foregoing preamble and memorial to the President 
of the Unired S'ates, and to our Senators and Representatives in

 LINES 


WRITTEN ON HIS BEHOLDING THE SHORES OF ENGLAND, 

AFTER AN ABSENCE OF MANY YEARS. 


y 


HAIL', loveliest gem that studs the sea, 
Isle of the brave, the just, the free! 
Whose surge-lashed cliffs at length arise , 
To greet once more my longing eyes : 
Tho' time my brow has silvered o'er 
»Since last I trod thy happy shore, 
And every change of weal or woe, 
That heart can feel or man can know, 
Has chequer'd thick the devious way 
Through which my weary wenderings lay : 
Yet, while by fortune driv'n to roam, 
My bosom knew one only home, 
And ever as my course might range, 
Still turned to thee, and knew no change. 

Fair LOSITANIA'S hills embrown'd, 

And SPAIN'S proud peaks, with deep snow crown'd, 

SICII.IA, breathing love and smiles, 

And GREECE, with all her sea of isles, 

Have seen my bark's progressive way, 

Along their coasts, by cape and bay. 

Old EGYPT next, and Nile's great stream, 
Whose wonders yet appear a dream, 
Where Cleopatra's 'witching power 
Still seems to haunt each grove and bower, 
Where Pyramids and Temples rise 
To mock the earth and brave the skies, 
Allured my hopes of promised gain, 
By visions,.like its glories, vain. 

Then PALESTINE'S more sacred vales 

And Lebanon's soft balmy gales, 

Jordan's clear stream—dew'dHermon's mountain, 

Zion's high hill, and Siloa's fountain, 

With scenes revered in every age, 

Repaid my weary pilgrimage ; 

Till SYRIA'S fertile regions came, 

Watered by fair Orontes' stream ; 

And Tigris and Euphrates flow'd 

Along .the various paths I trod ; 

Where Nineveh of old was placed, 

And Babylon's ruiu'd heaps are traced, 

Where Bagdad's minarets still show 

The Crescent—of the Cross the foe.— 

From thence, thro' PERSIA'S land of song, 
I led my lengthen'd way along, 
Where Ispahaun's imperial halls 
Her verdant bowers, and mirror'd walls, 
And gay Shirauz, where Hafiz strung 
His " orient pearls,'' and sweetly sung ; 


ARABIA'S gum-distilling trees. 
And SERENDIB'S rich spicy breeze, 
With golden INDIA'S ample field 
Of wealth, and all that wealth can yield, 
Charm'd every sense, and would have won 
Less ardent bosoms than my own ; 
But that dear ALBION'S freer sky 
Rose ever to my memory, 
And bade me turn from lands enslaved, 
To that loved rock, by ocean laved, 
Where, tho' by storms and tempests riven, 
Man can erect his front to heaven, 
And where the Monarch, on the throne, 
Rules for the many — not for one.— 

Hail ! then, again, bless'd Island, hail ! 
Speed, speed our flight, propitious gale ! 
Bid lazy Time's slow lagging wheel 
Fly like the lightning with our keel,, 
Till I shall touch my native earth, 
And tread t^p land that gave me birth ; 
Escaped from Slavery's tainted air, 
To plead the wrongs of Freedom there. 
(For there at least her holy cause 
May claim an ear) till equal laws 
Extend o'er Asia's vast domains, 
Now fettered with degrading chains, 
Where Britons, elsewhere free and brave, 
Must tremble like the abject slave, 
Desert their country's dearest pride, 
And lick the dust when Tyrants chide. 

Oh ! never, never, while the glow 
Of health around my heart shall flow, 
While my warm pulses freely beat, 
And Reason still retains her seat, 
Never shall that blest gift of Heaven, 
Which God to man has freely given 
For nobler cause than war or strife, 
Be yielded up — but with my life. 
A willing victim then I come, 
Tho' to a less luxurious home ; 
And ever, when the choice shall be, 
Or Exile, Death, or Slavery, 
O God ! do thou the firmness give, 
Still to be free — or not to live.

boiling two ounces of the root, (cnt in small pieces au( bruised,) in three quarts of water, down to two quarts

anise or coriander seed, or sassafras bark, will make he decoction more pleasant; the tea should be made 
every morning in warm weather, as it should not be mide use of when 'the least sour. .The patient must ab

the former dose for one week;—and so proceed throi out the whoie course.

In adults, when the case is obstinate, it generally rquires from four to ten bottles to ettect a cure—and 
after having eeased using tbe medicine for three weelj, and every symptom of tbe disease has disappeared,

If this medicine should appear to work or ferment it must be heated for a few minutes over a moderate

 ADDRESS 


SAVANNAH GEORGIAN 


JANUARY 1, 1826,- 


WBS»R left we off ~ it year ? somewhere about 
The Pyramids, and Thebes, and a rout 
Of learned words of thundering length, 
To shew our wisdom—and display our strength, 
In mouthing them ; to make the stupid gaze, 
And fill what brains they have with deep amaze. 
No more ofthat—ton modern times we dwell, 
They'll point a moral to the full as well ; 
Oh ! for a muse of fire ! a quill of steel ! 
And ink of gall, to say the half we feel» 
When Georgia's insults, Georgia's wrongs arise, 
In long detail before our burning eyes— 
Her soil polluted by a hireling band 
To bayonet her children, at command, 
Who dare to claim " their own, their native land ;" 
Her chief with malice vilified, abused, 
And justice on his slanderer refused, 
À crop-ear'd savage hir'cl his fame to blight, 
And murder, deep and dark as blackest nighj, 
yAnd caOSelessTcruel waiTe of patriot blood, ^— : 
-- ' Froelaim'd and justified a» great »nd good. 
Ill-fated M'intosh ! where were thy foes, 
When Britain's banner o'er our soil arose ? 
They recreant cowr*d br.neath it in affright, 
When thy red arm rose through the sulph'rous fight. 
And vengeful fell upon each traitor head, 
And for our country thy best blood was shed. 
Here would we seek to hide with shame our face, 
And draw a veil upon our State's disgrace ; 
By foulest faction near in pieces rent, 
Of all its festering, hoarded vengeance spent j 
Mind, station, talents, virtue, wisdom, all 
In undistinguished ruin prostrate fall ; 
And duty, right and justice are forgot, 
While faction rages, and its leaders plot 
To "put down" talent, and depress the wise, 
And on their country's ruin basely rise. 
Unhappy Georgia ! warring fiercely yet 
Against thyself—by madness still beset— 
No hope appears, no ray of light to cheer, 
Unless the people in their strength appear, 
And all their virtuous indignation shower 
On those who thus abuse their chance-got power— 
Those who these " strange fantastic tricks have play'd," 
Tp raise a party but the State degrade. 

There wa» a time when states had rights to boast, 
Alas ! they've none, we know, now to our cost ; 
We're a vast empire ! every thing is grand, 
And national Una splendid trhough the land— 
The nation, will no doubt be wondrous great, 
Built on the prostrate freedom of each State, 
And thé wrong'd people, well by splendor paid 
^orbarterM rights and liberty betrayed. 


If proof you want of what we herein teach 
03* Vide—John Quincy Adams's last speech. 

Turn we to where in eastern climea afar, 
Rage all the horrors of insatiate war, 
Where the red cross of Christendom waves high, • 
And rings the Moslem-infidel's war cry, -s 
Unhappy Greece ! what horrors hast thou borne, 
By outward foes and inward factions torn,— 
May heaven protect and guard the holy cause. 
Of freedom, indépendance, constitution, laws ! 

Borne on the bosom of each southern gale, 
The shouts of rescued millions freemen hail ! 
Well hast thou won the great and glorious prize. 
Well may t>- songs of joy to heaven arise, 
Triumphant o'er the bigot tyrant's chain, 
Peace, plenty, happiness and freedom reign ?— 
Forever may they reign upon thy shore, 
Till bigots, chains, and tyrant» arg no more ! 

Home ! home ! sweet home ! the beast of prey his 
Seeks for defence, and finds a shelter there ; 
And the poor wretch condemn'd a time to.,roam, 
Looks to enjoy his crust in peace " at home ;'' 
Without a home to garner in the heart, 
What joy tan wealth or power or hope impart, 
Existence were a blank, and all below 
But a long, dreary, barren waste of woe ! 
Hail City of the Plain! once in thy pride 
Beneath thee viewing on thy kindred tide, 
With every fav'ring breeze of heav'n a fleet, / 
Approach to lay its burthen at thy feet, 
The elements have scourg'd thee, and the breath 
Of pestilence has swept thy streets with death. 
Yet Anteus like, thou risest from each blow, 
And renovated grapple with each foe, 
Thy meted days of suffering are past, 
And the reward, long sought, is thine at last, 
Again thy streets re-ee&o to the sound 
Of business in its ever-varying round ! 
Again shall freighted fleets float on thy stream, 
And fortune's golden gifts upon thee gleam— 
God prosper thee ! lov*d soil! and evermore, 
May heaven upon thee all its blessings pour. 

Patrons ! our lay is short, and so it should, 
We would not tire you with it if we could ; 
Perhaps you know as much as we can tell, 
Of State affairs, and might relate as well— 
Ours is a humbler task—we only carry news. 
Which others make or read, just as they choose— 
For hours of labour, early, late and ever. 
Failing from frost, or snow, or storming1, never, 
We only ask a ———— and are yours forever.

 CIRCULAI*. 


GEORGIA, APRIL 7,1820. 

ÏT is probable that you have already learned, through the public papers, how serious a 
Calamity has been experienced by the City of Augusta. On the 3rd instant, at 2 o'clock, P. M. 
afire commenced in a closely built quarter of the town. The wind, which from the beginning 
was violent, soon rose to a gale, and! bore along the flames with irresistible fury. Showers of 
sparks and burning fragments, whirled in irregular eddies through the air, and kindling at the 
same moment houses far asunder, rendered impossible any concentration of efforts in the direc 
tion of the wind. The intense heat, aided by the contiguity of the buildings, and the combustible 
nature of their materials, caused the fire also to extend laterally, with a wide sweep of destruc 
tion. Indeed we esteemed ourselves'happy in being able to arrest the conflagration, even on its 
Western side, where we were most favored by the weather. To the Eastward, in a few hours, 
scarcely any thing remained but naked chimnies and smoking embers. The rapid progress of 
the destroying element, was itself a material aggravation of the disaster. Many could not remove 
their effects at all ; and still more only conveyed them to situations, where they were speedily 
followed by the flames. Before sunset, our streets were filled with a crow d of unfortunates of 
every age, destitute of a home, and mournfully gleaning from a confused heap of moveables, the 
poor remains of their furniture and raiment. We hope that you may never be able to conceive 
such a scene ; for we hope that you will never behold it. 

As you are probably unacquainted with the plan of the City, it is presumed that a descrip-» 
tion of the local ravages of the fire would be little understood. You will obtain a clearer notion 
of its extent, from the following statement:—About two hundred front houses, with their offices, 
have been consumed. More than 1,500 persons, of all descriptions, were deprived of 
_a home. The pecuniary loss cannot at present be precisely estimated^ but is probably about 
half a million of dollars, of which a large part falls on those who are least able to support it. 

In these distressing circumstances, our population was not wanting to itself, in offices of 
friendship and humanity. Immediate and effectual measures were adopted to supply the most 
pressing wants. Subscriptions have been commenced, and are liberally advancing,* for the 
provision of continued relief. Much has been, and more will be, done among^purselves. vBut , 
under an affliction so heavy, there are a thousand claims upon human sympathy, which must re 
main unsatisfied, without the aid of additional resources. Influenced by this conviction, the 
Citizens of Augusta have delegated tous the duty of representing their situation to the benevo 
lent of other communities. To have thus represented it, we trust will be sufficient. We shall 
not weary you with the frigid vanities of rhetorical common place, in which the advocate re 
members himself, rather than his cause. We appeal to your hearts—to the tribunal of feelings, 
not words. We address you in behalf of your fellow-men, and fellow-citizens, struck down by 
$ sudden shock of adversity ; and we doubt not that we shall be heard.

 TUNE—37ie Buckelt. 

There dwells in the Patriot's bosom, a feeling 
Of pride for his country he never can quell ; 
Whether joy for her triumph,—or sorrow be stealing. 

For wrongs she has suffered, 'tis idle to tell. 
Enough! he but feels that his own pure devotion 

Will solace or raise in adveîsity'fc hour, 
And he strikes with a hand that gives back the emo 
tion 

Of soul quite as willing to build up her power. 

With a heart ever ready 

And nerve ever steady, 

He strikes with a hand that shall add to her power. 

O ! they who have flung out the banner of battle, 

And nailed it undaunted to Liberty's tree, 
May be sure, tho' the hail storms of conflict now 

rattle, 

~—Twill yal piuirtHj »vniu uti fht^atiS Bi*tlM*fre&;_ 
The stars in its folds may be seen six and twenty, 

Or all their effulgence be centered in one— 
Still, still there is manifest brightness in plenty, 
To tell how humanity's cause must be won. 
With the light of the twenty, 
Or one, there is plenty 
To tell how humanity's cause must be won. 

Our WASHINGTON'S name has been hallowed in storyj 

As founder of Freedom's retreat in the west. 
Another hath risen to share in his glory— 

The Texian Patriot—our own honored guest! 
To ÄZS land and our own be prosperity given ; 

One in heart and in union, tho' differing in name ; 
May they be like twin suns rolling onward thro* 

heaven, 

And lighting all earth up with liberty's flame. 
May they thus with the gleaming 
Of Liberty beaming, 

Lighten up all the earth With their own hallowed 
flame.

For the " Yamacraw Intemperance Society. 

F DUNDEE' DEC. 20,1830. 


" 


" MI are bound for the safety of the country 0,1 id the encouragement of Domestic Manufactures. " 


WHEN in the course of human events, it 

becomes necessary for one body of people to dissohr e 
themselves from another, and assume among the ou- - 
mérous societies of the earth the separate and equa 1 
station ^hich the laws of nature entitle them to, a de - 
cent respect for the opinions of mankind requires tha t 
tliey should declare the causes which impel them t o 
the separation. 

•We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all maul a 
are created equal.1 Our opposers have tried to dj - 
prive us of the following privileges, that is- to say : 

1. Of taking our regular floras. 

2. Of our meeting as a body of brothers, and ea - 
joying ourselves, as all good intemperate brethrei n 
should do. 

3. They have called meetings among us, and en - 
deavored to raise the price of liquors, by abolishÏBj j 
distilleries, thereby imposing a ruinous tax upon ou r 
honorable body. 

4. They have done all in their power to shut u; p 
our Taverns and Gros; Shops, thereby trying to stolp 
the meeting of our association. • • Jf 

5. They have tried by unfair means to entice 01^ r1' 
members from us by promises of supernatural favors. 

6. In fact they have tried to stop us from havin g 
our grain distilled,—to shut our taverns, and thereb £ 
erase1 from our land of liberty the ancient and honoi •- 
able body of free drinkers, and establish among Gif r 
young'heroes the pernicious habit of drinking col d 

water. 

7. They have sent out among us. swarms of col d 
water missionaries, to collect our spare TÖRIPS, an d 
deprive us of the means of raising a Horn. 

Under these circumstances we have been forced t o 
form a society, for our own protection, under the fol - 
lowing rules, which are to be strictly observed at the 
regular places cf meeting in Yamacraw, and by the 
subordinate societies .throughout the country. 

ARTICLE I. The Society shall be called the- Ya 
macraw Intemperance Society- _ |

one hour at a sitting.

heard one hundred yards shall forfeit 6 horns.

ceeding one dozen horns.

'YOUR memorialists, the Commissioners 
of the BRUNSWICK RAIL-ROAD COM 
PANY, in the State of Georgia, pray your 
honorable body to authorise his Excellency 
the President, or the honorable the Secreta 
ry of ihe Treasury, to aubscribe, on account 
of the United States, for Two Hundrei 
Shares, or Twenty thousand Dollars, being 
the balance of the capital stock, not yd 
subscribed for, of the aforesaid Rail-Road-; 
and, also, to appoint one Director at thî 
Board of the said compaoy, which, by thî 
Charter, may be composed of three mem 
bers s—And your memorialists would ask 
leave to suggest the names of Capi. RICH 
ARD F. STOOKTOH, or JAMES HAMILTON 
.COUPER, Esq. ot Glynn, or STEPHEN C. 
KINO, Ksq. of Wayne county, Georgia, f«r 
"the said appointment 

'Your memorialists further pray-your hoi- 
ordble ootiy, to authorise the honorable, Ike 
Secretary of War, at the same time, to dî- 
tail a skilful Engineer, to survey the route 
„definitively, and estimate the cost of tl« 
Rail-Road ;—-the length of which is ontp 
eleven miles and nineteen chains, from the 
Altamaha river, direct to the town of Bruni- 

•wick, over a hard level surface of clay foui- 
dation, without swamp, creek or lagoon— 
the amount of the expense of the survey 
and estimate, tc be applied on account af 
the stock. 

The materials which the said Rail-Roid 
'is to he composed of, are, Live Oak blocks, 
or short posts, from one to two and a half 
feet diameter, and Cypress Rails, or Cap- 
Sills, one foot square, of heart timber ;— 
botlrof "Which description of materials are 

•»convenient to the route, which will last fifty 
'to'Bïxty years, and may Ike had as cheap ss 
'pine timber. 

•t *The present estimated cost of the RaH- 
Itbad, including an extensive Wharf and 
Ware -House, at*each eriä, is computed, at 
a data of 'quantity and prices already ascer 
tained for the Livo Ottk&looico, Cyproaa fttf 

Sills, iron, a twenty horse power Locomo 
tive Engine, twenty cotton Cars, labour. &c. 
amounting altogether, to about fifty-five 
thousand dollars.—Thirty-seven thousand 
five hundred dollars of which is subscribed 
for ; and the Legislature of Georgia, at its 
late session, appropriated ten thousand dol 
lars, to be invested in able bodied negro 
man, to be employed in the improvement of 
the navigation of a short branch of the Al 
tamaha river, in tide water, opposite to 
Brunswick, called Rail-Road creek, (which 
is about one mile in length) and to dig out 

• Bason, and form the outlines of an exten 
sive wharf at the head of said creek, and 
to cut out the avenue for the Rail-Road, at 
the public expense of the-State. This will 
lessen the amount of capital stock required 


ed for, and the survey by an United States 
Engineer, the whole enterprise will be'spee 
dily carried into successful operation ; and, 
although it will require so small an amount 
of money, yet, from the peculiar location, 
combining marine and extensive interior ad- 


ing» by the late' census, to two hundred and 
seven thousand two hundred and six'y-sè 
ves souls, most immediately to be benefited 
by opening the port of Brunswick, as an 
exporting and importing market ; all of 
which are likewise, herewith most respect- 


vantages of the country, it will diffuse last- fully submitted for the'Inspection and infor- 
ing and national blessings to Agriculture 
and Commerce, in this important division of 
the Union, and to the Naval service of the 
country.—Every year the opening of that 
port is kept in the back ground, for want of 
aid and co operation, it amounts to a dam 
age and loss, to the middle and western 
counties of Georgia, of one hundred and 
fifty thousand dollars per annum, on the 
produce for market, and gl 50,000 on the 
return trade for internal consumption; 

Your memorialists further pray y our hon 
orable body to appropriate 
dollars for the erection* of a suitable build 
ing for a Custom House, in the town of 
Brunswick, and to raise the top and im 
prove the lantern of the Light-House, at 
the entrance of the harbour—which it ts de 
sirable may be provided for, whilst the work 
of the Rail-Road is progressing. 

The bar and harbour uf Bruoswick, frnm 
a survey under an act of Congress in Ij82tt, 
'proves to be superior to any other port, for 
commercial and Naval purposes, south of 
the Capes of Virginia ; and Congress, as 
yet, has done nothing efficiently for the im 
provement of the great marine advantages 
of that port.—It is situated near the centre 
of the sea-board of Georgia, contiguous to 
the Isthmus of Florida and the contemplat 
ed great national canal, and still more so, 
to the great natural outlet—the Mlamctha 
river and its tributaries, which run centrally 
through the State towards Brunswick, which 
is only separated from the aforesaid river 
by a narrow neck of land, over which the 
Rail-Road is to pass, forming a mere' loco 
motive drayage, from the steam and pole 

. hnata tn »ho ahjp9_ H**TJ from- ih 


to the boats-—similar to the bason in the 
rear, and the wharves or levee in front, at 
New-Orleans. 

The stock of this '«hört Rail-Road must, 
unquestionably, pay« better profit than ony 
other stock of the kind in the United States. 

The position of the bar, harbour and site 
of Brunswick, together with a view of all 
the outlets of the Altamaha river—also, of 
Rail-Road Creek, and the route of the Rail- 
Road, may be seen and more distinctly un 
derstood, by reference to'the copy of the 
survey and diagram, effected with great 
care and attention in May 1831 ; and af 
late map of the State of Georgia, both et 
which are herewith most respectfully sub 
mitted.—Also, a printed synopsis of the 
Charter marked A. and

only be pleased to grant the prayer of your the Legislature, at the late session marked 

memorialists, and authorise the subscrip- C.. to which is annexed e list of the coun- 

îfion, to the balance ot the stock, above pray- ties, (thirty) and their pupulation, amount- 


mation of your honorable body, upon the 
subject of the prayers of your memorialists. 
A copy of Lieut. S lock ton's report of the 
survey of the bar and harbour ,of Bruns 
wick in 1826, transmitted from the Navy 
Department, is also submitted. 

From the documents above referred to, 
your honorable body will be enabled te ar 
rive at the importance of the object and 
prayers of your memorialists. 

Shculd Bruoswick become a naval station 
and rendezvous» for which she seems to ba 
clearly destined by nature, the Rail-Road, 
though short, may be said to partake still 
more of a national character, and an appro» 
priate enterprise for the fostering care and 
co-operative aid nf the General Govern 
ment, which will open that port to an ex 
tensive and fertile imerior of the United 
States, and, not only produce renovating 
and lasting "benefits to Agriculture and 
Commerce, but through which vessels Of the 
Navy may, at all times, receive supplies, 
cheap and abundant. 

From authentic documents it is ascer 
tained that eighty thousand bales of cotton, 
for one article, descended the Altamaha ri 
ver the past year, and one hundred thous 
and bales wiil have descended the same ri 
ver the present year. 

The increase uf produce and cossump- 
tiou 'of that division of the State, has been 
at an average of £0 per cent for the bat 
five years and still increasing.—One hun 
dred thousand bushels of salt, for one arti 
cle, wili be consumed in >hat region of Geor 
gia during the year 1832. 

Should your honorable body decline to 

authorise the mihtei'ipiion to the balance of 

the stock as .prayed for, then, in that case, 
your memorialists pray that the Honorable 
the Secretary of the Treasury, may be au 
thorised to loan to the aforesaid'Rail-Road 
Compaoy, twenty thousand dollars for three 
years, at an interest of six per cent, and to 
receive, as security, a bond and mortgage 
upon the two hundred shares of the Rail- 
Road stock, and include as many lots in the 
Town of Brunswick in the said mortgage 
cs may be deemed an ample and bona fide 
security—the interest to. be paid annnally, 
in advance ; and, that your honorable body 
will be pleased to hear and grant a part or 
the whole of the prayers of your memori 
alists, they, an in duty bouod will evef 

pray, &c.

 CHANGE ! CHANGE ! ! 


WIIO HAS 


This is the day of complaint and ac 
cusation—the leading men of the Har- 
rison party complain and accuse all 
the State Rights men who vote for Mr. 
Van Buren, as having changed. 

Mr. MERRIWETHER, of Putnam, 
seems to have taken the lead in de 
nouncing those of the States Rights 
party, who, as " Freemen," choose to 
exercise their right of choice, as hav 
ing "changed." Now let us see, in 
truth and in fact, who has changed. 
Mr. Merriwether was a member of the 
State Rights ! Convention, in Decem 
ber, 1833, and assented to all their 
published principles. Now, State 
Rights men!—Troup Men!—Nullifiers! 
—look at James Jl. Merriwether's let 
ter, written the next month after the 
meeting of said Convention, to a Union 
editor, to be published in a Union pa 
per—and this too immediately aft^r the 
party was organized and its principles 
published to the world \ See the stand 
he took then! and look at him now! on 
the Congressional ticket, a Simon 
Pure State Rights Man ! ! Who has 
changed 1 The party or Mr. Merri 
wether! ' .,;•": ~~ ~^ *"• 

Here is his own letter, and in it you 
have his own faith, published by him 
self in 1834. 

From the Southern Banner of January 13th, 1834. 

For the Southern Banner. 

GENTLEMEN :—I am gratified to find yon so determinedly 
opposed to the new parly formed at Milledgeville, last Ses 
sion. The attempt to sell the old Troup party to Calhoun 
and McDuffie, is too apparent to be mistaken. And are we— 
the Troup men of 1825, who fought sword in hand against 
Adams and Calhoun—ready now to be sold without a mo 
ment's panse, or a word's objection ? No, we are not; and 
when the party shall wipe the mist from before their eyes, 
nine tenths of the patiiots of that day, will rally to their old 
principles. Can any one ask confirmation of the statement, 
that the late State Rights meeting was gotten up for the pur 
pose of culling onr old friends—seducing them from their first 
love, aud binding them neck' and heels, and delivering them 
ovor to Calhoun, as the tools of his ambition and the prose 
lyte» of Ms principles ? If so, let him look at the state of 
faetf attendant npon that meeting, and he ean no longer 
«pub*. - 


The meeting was called — it was said to bë S compromis* 
— a broad platfoim was presented, npon which all could 
stand. The Nullifiers took great credit for their great spirit 
of Concession — they had saved the party, the) said, as they 
had saved the country. Well, wt were sincerely gratified at 
all this, for none wished for reconciliation more than our 
selves, and mine made greater efforts to obtain it. The next 
thing we heard of, were Cbappell's resolutions, maiotaining, 
to the utmost extent, Calhoun's new creed, and proscribing 
every princ:ple which did not accord with their own, upon 
the theory of Government. Now, these resolutions contaiu 
either the construction of the proceedings of that meeting, 
which the State Rights party are to adopt, or they do not. 
If they do, then that party is the Nullification party, an. I have 
adopted the litle of '-State Rights " because of its greater 
popularity. If they are not. then the Nullifiers are determin 
ed to have a party of their own, aod are ooly using that 
meeting as a ruse, for ihe purpose of deceiving others, and 
advanciug ibeir own cause. In either event, their settled 
purpose to organise a Nullification party, the creed of which 
shall be. the doctrines of the Carolina Federalists, Calhoun, 
McDufiie and Hamilton, to the exclusion of those of Craw- 
ford. Troup, Giln-er, Wilile and others. 

But again, this same party have presented ns with a Con 
gressional Ticket — upon that ticket, they have placed those 
of the party (Troup) opposed to Nullification, who are now 
members of Congress and are willing to serve again,* but all 
vacancies have been filled entirely with Nnllifiers of the Cal- 
honn stamp. And for fear that Mr. Calhoun might not be 
satisfied, from their resolutions and actions, that they were 
of him, they have placed their most particular frieud, the 
man who has abandoned Lumpkin and ibe Clark party ou 
his account, the man who stood opposed to Georgia at the 
time of her greatest troubles, the man who supported Clark 
against Troup. confederated with Gaines, Andrews, and 
Crowed to disgrace our State; the man who was leagued 
with Calhoun and Adams to defeat the old treaty, and estab 
lish the new, by which Georgia would have lost her most va« 
luable territory — I mean General Daniel Newnm — upon that 
ticket. And this has been done, to the exclusion of the fa 
thers of our parly — such men as Branham, Jourdan, Grant- 
land, Camak, VVayne, Dougherty. Dawson. Joel Crawford, 
and many others of the choice spirits of 1625!! 

Messrs. Editors — Let me exhort you never .to sleep at 
»_li The price^ of liberty is eternal vigilence." The 
~~ " 


_ 

test oaih of Carolina nsay~~be compfnTneci of a"» oppression, 
but the spirit of proscription, of nullification, is as tyrannical 
in Georgia as there. And rest assured, that when this State 
Rights party, falsely called, shall gain the ascendency, you 
will have test-oaths in abundance. So far as individual 
power could go, somethiug worse than test-oaths have alrea 
dy been resorted to. JUNIUS.

Dear Sir — In reply to yonrs of the 13th instant, I can 
only say that we received some time in January, 1834, a 
communication signed " Junius" with a request from James

in our paper — which was accordingly done. By this mail, I

IIEAU QUARTERS, ARMY OF TUE SOUTH, £ 
COLUMBUS, GEO. July 7,1836. $ 

Major General ScoLt has been called to Washington, 
•fttitl the command of this Army devolves frosn the pub 
lication of this Order, on Major General Jesup, to whom, 
in future, all reports and applications iviil be made. 

The Croejf war, though yet to be wound up, may be 
considered as virtually over. Two parties of the hostile 
Indians, which have escaped to this side of the Chal- 
(iihoochae, are now hotly pursued. The larger of those 
- jvtrtios is shut up in a swamp, and from the strength of 
Col. Beall'a detachment, that under Captain Jernigan, 
sud the re-inforcementsent hence, under Major Hoxie, a 
capture of the whole body of the fugitives seems to be 
iuevttahle. The other hostile parly will, probably, from 
fits measures in operation, share the same fate. In the 
late Creek country the number of the enemy to be 
captured or forced to surrender, is considered quite in- 
«unsiderable. 

Major General Scott regrets, that, from the sudden 
ness of his separation from the Army, the opportunity 
is iost to him of cloinsr that full justice to all the corps 
/ Jie has had the honor to command, which their patriot 
ism. zr.a\, and pallaritry claim at ilis hands, and indeed 
fr;> n the highest sources—the government and country. 
To His Excellency, tin Governor of Georgia, who 
hns.remained on the frontier in order to lend himself in 
«every way powerfully (o the prosecution of the war, the 
particular thanks of M.ij. Gen'1 Scott are due. Before 
the Gporgin line cnnld be mustered into the service of 
I'')« United States, Tlis Excellency had made disposit'ons 
of his armed troops, not only to protect his own fron- 
».!•;!•, but to prevent the escape of the enemy in the dt- 
r« ottoi) of Florida. This was tiie great danger to be 
guarded against, and all that, zeal arid ability could ef 
fect on his part, lias been put in practice iirul accom 
plished. U is hopnd that this slight acknowledgment 
made to the Chief Magistrate of a powerful and patiiotic 
State may not be deemed imncrtincnt because coining 
from a military functionary of the United States. It is 
eminently deserved. Of the Georgia line, which has 
ronstantly acted under the iinmcdinte observation of 
Mai. Gen'1 Scott, he will ever be h:ippy to speak in 
terms of the highest approbation. That line, has, under 
its immédiate and able commander, Maj Gen'1 Sand- 
ford, throughout evinced the best dispositions—a readi 
ness to obey orders, to inarch against the enemy, and 
to win honor for. itself", for Georgia, and the Union.— 
The greater part of it, fora long time, was held inactive 
f >r the want of arms, which by -i series of strange acci- 
rf?»!s, f,ii!"d to arrive, whilst other portions of the same 
line, in positions on the river, had freq'ient and se» 


vere combats with the enemy. In these, if the Georgian 
detachments were not always successful, they at least 
were ready to oppose an obstinate resistance to superior 
numbers. Captains Garmany, Jernigan, Ball, and Flu. 
eilen, with their companies, won for themselves much 
distinction on those occasions, whilst Captains Dawson 
and Pearson, cruising with their companies on board 
steamboats, rendered highly valuable services. Capt. 
Dawson on several occasions, displayed the greatest, 
judgment and intrepidity in marching to the relief of the 
fixed posts, and landing in the presence of the enemy, 
in order to destroy his means of passing the river. 

Of the Alabama line, with the exception of Brigadier 
General Moore's Brigade, Maj. Gen. Scott cannot speak 
either from his own observation, or on a direct corres* 
pondence. Maj. Gen. Jesup, himself an abie comman 
der and a competent judge, in bis reports, speaks highly 
of Maj. Gen. Patterson and his division, and it is di 
rectly known that Brigadier General Moore, placed on 
the lower line of operations, has, acting almost indepen 
dently, made able dispositions of his Brigade and has 
captured more than two hundred prisoners. 

To the Regular Troops, including the U. S. Marines, 
the usual praise is due: they have exhibited steadiness, 
discipline and an eager desire to come in contact with 
the enemy. Although disappointed in that favorite 
wish, they have, in all other respects, rendered them. 
selves highly useful. 

It is known that the friendly Indians acting as auxil 
iaries under Gen. Woodward, and others have ren 
dered valuable services.—To them a great number of 
thé captures and voluntary surrenders are to be attri 
buted. 

With his temporary staff—Col. Kenan, Volunteer 
aid-de-camp ; Maj. Ansart, acting Inspector General, 
and Lieutenants T. J. Lee and Betts, aids-de-camp; also 
Surgeon, Dr. Lawson, medical director of the Army, 
Maj. Gen: Scott cannot take leave without expressing' 
his hearty thanks for the zeal, ability and courtesy 
which each has displayed in the performance of his par 
ticular duties. 

Maj. Ansan, 3d Art. having tendered the resignation 
of his commission, which will be forwarded to Wash 
ington, lie has permission to repair to that place, after 
having performed the special duties in which he is now 
engaged, and await the decision of the Government. 

Col. Kenan, duly mustered into the service of the U. 
States on the 1st ultimo, is hereby discharged with hon 
or and thanks from that service. 

Lieut. T. J. Lee, at the expiration of a week, and 
Lieut. Betts at the expiration of a month, will join their 
respective companies for duty. 

Surgeon Lawson will report by letter to Maj. Geti. 
Jesup. • 


 At a meeting of Merchants and Citizens generally, held (.in pursuance of a 
public notice) at the Exchange, in the City of Savannah, on Thursday, September 
21st, 1837, for the purpose of testifying their respect for the memory of the late 
William Gaston, Esq., and their deep sense of the loss sustained by this community 
by his decease. 

Joseph Gumming, Esq., was called to the Chair, and William P. Hunter was 
appointed Secretary. 

The fol^uing Preamble and Resolutions were offered by George Schley, .Esq., 
and unanimously adopted, 


William Gaston, for many years conspicuous as one of our most eminent Merchants and respectable citizens, having keen, through 
the wise dispensation of Providence, removed from us by death, and this sad event having occur red when at a distance from this, 
the place of his home, so that his fellow-citizens were denied the melancholy satisfaction of individually offering to his remains the 
last rues of respect and affection, they deem it proper publicly to commune on the occasion, and to express their deep regret for a 
bereavement which cannot but touch the sympathies, not only of this community, but of thousands far away, for the strangers' 
friend will not be unwept, while gratitude yields to worth the just tribute of a tear. 


t is 

RESOLVED, As the sentiment of this meeting, that Mr. Gaston, as a Merchant, was distinguished for his intelligence, 
industry and integrity — for his promptness, frankness, and liberality. That, as a citizen, he was patriotic, public-spirited 
and munificent — and in the contribution of private charity, of unsurpassed benevolence. That he was the patron of 
merit in every form, and emphatically the friend of the stranger, dispensing with a liberal hand the avails of his honor 
able and successful enterprise. That in the intercourse of domestic life his friends can, through long years, remember 
his cheerful welcome and kind hospitality — his glowing genius, refined intelligence and accomplished manners — his 
generous and confiding spirit. That Mr. Gaston in his character as a man and a citizen, combined a rare assemblage of 
virtues, which no time can efface from our memory — and although they are extensively known and appreciated, we 
choose the melancholy pleasure of repeating them , as a salutary contemplation and attractive example — and for their 
commemoration, be it further 

RESOLVED, That under the superintendence of a committee to be appointed for that purpose, there shall be erected 
in the Old Cemetery, a vault for the interment of strangers, which shall bear the name of The Gaston Vault, as a monu 
ment to perpetuate the living kindness of the strangers' friend, and teaching posperity a lesson of universal philanthrophy. 

On motion of R. M. Goodwin, Esq. . 

RESOLVED, That the Committee of Seven be appointed by the Chair, and that the Chairman be one of that commit 
tee. Whereupon William B. Bulloch, George Schley, J. P. Henry, W. T Williams, G. W. Anderson, Joseph 
Gumming, and George W. Owens, were appointed as that committee. 

On motion of James Ker, Esq., the following resolution was also unanimously adopted : 

RESOLVED, That the Chairman, in behalf of this meeting, be requested to address Mr. William K. Gaston a letter, 

requesting him, if it meets his approbation, to have the remains of his late uncle, William Gaston, Esq., brought to this 

city, it being in the opinion of this meeting the most proper place for their repose. 

On motion of S. H. Fay, Esq., it was 

RESOLVED, That a copy of the proceedings of this meeting be forwarded to the relatives of the late William Gaston, 
and that they also be published. 

WILLIAM P. HUNTER, SECRETARY. JOSEPH GUMMING, CHAIRMAN. 


 HEAD QUARTERS, 
CHÏHOKÏP, NATION, NEW. 
A, GA. March 22nd, 183?. 
CHERÖKEES: 

IT is nearly a year since I first arrived in this 
country. I then informed you of the objecte of ray 
coining among you. I told you that a treaty had 
been made vrtth yonr people, and that your country 
was to 1-3 given up to the United States by the 25th 
May, 1838, a (little more than a year from this time,) 
vJhen you would all be compelled to remove to the 
•West. I also told you, if you would submit to the 
terms of the treaty I would protect you in }our 
persons and property, at the same time I would 
firrnish provisions and clothing to the poor and des 
titute of the Kation. You would not listen, but 
turned a deaf ear to my advice. You prefered the 
cbunscl of those who were opposed to the treaty. 
They told you, what was not true, that your people 
had mode no treaty with the united States, and that 
you would be able to regain ycrar lands, and Tvcnld not 
be obliged to remove to the West, the place desig 
nated for your new homes. Be no longer deceived 
by such advice! It is not only untrue, but if listened to, 
way lead to your utter ruin. The President, as well as 
Congress, have decreed that you should remove from 
flus country. The people of Georgia, of North Caro 
lina, of Tcnncssee'-and of Alabama, have decreed it. 
Your &tc is decided; and if you do not voluntaiily 
get read;.- .;-:; ~o by the time fixe« ïa the treaty, you 
will then be forced from this country by the soldiers 
of the United States. 

Brrdef such circumstances what wilr be your con 
dition? Deplorable in the extreme! Instead of the 
bertefite now presented to you by the treaty, of re 
ceiving pay for the improvements of your lands, your 
houses, your Cornfields and your ferries, and for all 
the property unjustly taken from you by the white 
people, and at the same time, blanket«, ck>thing and 
provisions far the poor, you will be driven from the 
coBtitry, and without a t*nt td> Support you on your 
arrival at y«ur new hohles. You wiB in vain flee 
to you» mountains for protection. Like the Creeks, 
you will b» hunted up and dragged from your lurking 
places and hurried to the West. I Would ask, are 
you prepared for inch scenes? I trust not. Yet 
Kieh will be-ybur fate if you persist in your present 
determination. 

Cherofceeg: I hâve not come among you to oppress

you, but to protect you and to sec that justice is 
done you, as guarantied by the treaty. Be aévised, 
and turn a deaf ear tp those who would induce you. 
to believe that Ho treaty has been made with you, and 
that you will not be obliged to leave your country. 
They cannot be friends, but ths worst of enemies. 
Their advice, if followed, will lead to your certain 
destruction. The President has said that a treaty 
has been made with you, and'must be executed 
agreeably to its terms. The President never 
changes. 

Therefore!, take my advice: It is the advice of a 
friend, who would tell you the trath, and who feels 
deeply interested in your welfare, and who will do 
every thing in his power to relieve, protect and secure 
to you the benefits of flie tte»ty. And why not 
abandon a, country no longer yours? Do you not 
ECO the white people daily coming into it, driving 
you from your homes and possessing your houses, 
your cornfields and your ferries? Hitherto I have 
been able in some degree, to protect you ffom their 
intrusions; in a short time it \vill no longer be in my 
power. If. however, I could prefect you, you could 
not live with them. Your habits,your manners and 
your customs are unlike, and unsuited to theirs. 
They have no feelings, no sympathies in common 
with yourselves. Leave than this country, which 
after the 35th May 1838, can afford you no protec 
tion! and remove to the country designated for your 
new home«, u-hieh ib „ecured to you and yolir'thildrcn 
forever; and where you may live under your own 
laws, and the customs of your fathers, without in 
trusion or molestation from the white nran. It fe a 
country much better than the one yon now occupy; 
where yon cau grow mcr» corn» and where game is 
more abundant. Think seriously of what I say to 
you! Remember that ysu have but one summer more 
to plant corn in this country. Make tile Best flse of 
this time, and dispose of your property to the best 
'advantage. Go and settle with the CoorniisBicners, 
and with the emigrating Agent, Gen. Smith, receive 
the money due for your improvements, your houses» 
your cornfields and ferries, and for the property 
which has been unjustly taken from you by the 
whitemen, and at the appointed time be prepareo1 to 
remove. In the mean time, if you will apply tb mo 
or my Agents, I will canSe rations, blanket* «id 
clothing to be furnished to the poor arfd destitues of 
your people. 


 PROSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX. 


These works have been published by us for five years. There 
are now more subscribers for them, probably, than for any oth^r 
paper published in the United States ; certainly more than there 
are for any other paper published in this District. This large and 
increasing subscription is conclusive evidence of their usefulness. 
They are invaluable to all who feel an interest in the proceedings 
of Congress. No other publication gives them so full, nor half 
so cheap. It is, indeed, the cheapest publication in the United 
States—perhaps in the world. Our position at the seat of Gov 
ernment enables us to print them at so low a rate. We are-com 
pelled 10 publish the proceedings of Congress, in detail, for our 
daily paper. Thisdone, itrequires, comparatively, but a small ad 
ditional expense to change them to the forms of the Congressional 
Globe and Appendix. If it «-ere not for these circumstances, 
we could not publish them for four times the snm charged. 

The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the daily proceed 
ings of the two houses of Congress, and the speeches of the mem 
bers, conilensed. The yeas anil nays on all important subjects 
are given. It is published weekly, with small type, on sixteen 
royal quarto, pages. 

The APPENDIX contains the speeches of the members, at full 
length, written out by themselves ; and is piinted in the same 
form as the Congressional Globe. It is published as fast as the 
speeches can be prepared. Usually there are more nnmbers 
printed for a session than there are weeks in it. 

Each of these works is complete in iiself. But it is desirable 
for every subscriber to have both ; because, if there should be 
any ambiguity in the synopsis of a speech in the Congressional 
Globe, or any denial of its correctness, it may be removed at once 
by referring to the speech in Ihe Appendix. 
• Indexes to both are sent to subscribers as soon as -they can be 
prepared. 

The late session of Congress being a very important one, we 
printed about five thousand exira copies of the Congressional 
Globe and Appendix, calculating upon being able to dispose of 


them to persons who are not regular subscribers. The former 
makes 150, and the latter upwards of 200, royal quarto pages. 
As the main subject proposed at that session—the separation of 
Bank and State—has been postponed until the next session, they 
will be useful, we may say necessary, for those who subscribe 
for the next session ; and we shall therefore reserve them lor those 
subscribers who desire them, and shall first subscribe for them. 
Though not so voluminous as the proceedings of ordinary ses 
sions, the important subjects discussed will render these volumes 
not less valuable than any which have been, or which Vnay here 
after be, printed. Every subscriber for the next session, who 
intends to file the papers, should procure copies of the last.

A J> I* M E N S. 

CkeroJeecs! The President of the United 
Slates has sent me, with a powerful army, to 
cause you, in obedience to the Treaty of 1835, 
to join that part of your people who are-alrec— 
<ly established in prosperity, oii the otfier side 
of the Mississippi. Unhappily, the two years 
which wero allowed for the purpose, you have 
suffered to pass away without following, and 
without making any preparation to Toll« w-Jaijd 
now, or by the time tharihis. solemn hddrcss 
shall reach your distànt.settlements, the emi 
gration must bo commenced in haste, but, 1 
hnpo, without disorder. I.have no power, by 
granting a farther delay, to correct the error 
that you havo committed. Tfie £ull çoôn of 
May is already on the wane, and before tfn- 
olhcr shall have passod fuvay,every ChcrokcR 
man, woman and child, in those Stalee, must 
he in motion to join \jye\t brethren, in" the far 
\Vest. ' . . 

My Friends! This is no,sudden détermina-: 
tion on the part of t ho Pccsidenl, whom j'QJf"- 
and I must now obey. By tho^treftty, tiré 
emigration was to havo been completed on, or 
or before, the 23rd .of this month;;-antT the 
President has constantly kept.yon warned, 
during the two years allowed, through all his 
officers and agents in this country, that the 
Treaty would be enforced. 

I am come to carry out that determination. 
My troops already occupy many positions in 
(ho country that you are to abandon, and thou 
sands, and thousands arc approaching, from 
cvory quarter, to rendor resistance and escape 
alike hopeless. All thoso troops, regular and 
militia, are your friends. Receive them and 
confide in them as such. Obey them when 
they tell you that you can remain no longer*!!! 
this country. Soldiers are as kind hearted as 
brave, and the desiroof every one of us ia to 


execute our painful duly in mercy.. We are 
commanded by the President to act towards 
you in that spirit, and such is also the wish of 
theiwhole. people of=;America. 

'Cfdefs, hcad-men.and warriors! Will you,- 
then, by resistance, compel us to resort to 
arms? God forbid! Or will you, by flight, 
seek to hide ygur:selves in mountains and 
forests, and thu» oblige us to hunt you down ? 
Remenibct that, in^pursuft; it may be impos 
sible to avoid conflicts. The blood of the 
white man, or the blood of the rod man, may 
boepilt, and if spilt, however accidentally, it 
may be impossible for the discreet and humane 
among you, or amoug us to prevent a general 
vpar and carnage; Think of this,- my Chero- 
Keè brethren! I am an old warrior, and have 
Keen present at many a- scene of slaughter j 
but sparo 'me, I beseech vou, the horror of 
witnessing the destruction of the Cherokees. 

Do noJj-.I invite you, evon wait for the close 
approach" of the tr&ps; but make such pre 
parations."for emigration, as you can, and 
hasten fp'thfs" placo,- to Ross' Landing, or to 
punter's .Landing, where you all will be re 
ceived" in kindness by offieers selected for the 
purpose. You will find food for all, and cloth 
ing for tho destitute, at either of those places, 
and thenco at your case, and in comfort, be. 
transported to your new homes according to 
the terms of the Treaty. 

This is the address of a warrior to warriors. 
May his entreaties be kindly received, and 
may the God of both prosper the Americans 
and Cherokees, and preserve them long in 
peace and friendship with each other !

The erection commenced in 1800, and was completed in 1805, and the capital stock was $195,650, the difference 
between which and the cost was paid by appropriating all the tolls for that purpose. From 1800 to l80r inclusive, 
no dividend was made—nor any in 1810, 1811, and 1812. There was a dividend of one and a half per cent in 1808, 
and of four per cent in 1809; and from its commencement until the present time, a period of thirty-nine years, all thé 
dividends declared show an average of $5 35-100 per cent per annum only, being considerably less than simple in

The act of 16th March, 1839, which has been accepted by the Company, obliges them to take for the 

bridge and site. --------___ $8o,000 00

And it gives the sum of -----..... $155,50000 
Which the stockholders are to receive, being a clear loss of $40,150 on the capital stock. 

WHETHER THIS SHALL BE A FREE BRIDGE, DEPENDS NOW UPON THE COUNCILS OF 
THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. 

By the act of the 16th March, 1839, one-third of the g80,000, the purchase money of the bridge and site, must be 
first paid, or subscribed to be paid, by individuals or corporations. That makes a sum to be raised by private sub 
scription, of ------..... g26,666 67 

This cannot be raised unless Councils will subscribe $20,000 ; the experiment has been tried, and the time for sub 
scription expires on the 14th June, 1839, but eight days from this day. If this sum is not subscribed, then a free 
bridge at Arch street must be built by the county, against the wishes of the citizens, to the certain injury of the Water 
Works, and the probable destruction of the Gas Works, in times of freshet, and the increased obstruction of the navi 
gation of the Schuylkill; and the bridge is to take away a valuable city wharf at Arch street, and is to be lighted, 
watched, and kept in repair by the city. 

THE REASONS IN FAVOUR OF FREEING THE MARKET STREET BRIDGE, AND OF COURSE 
OF THE IMMEDIATE SUBSCRIPTION BY COUNCILS OF $20,000 TO THAT OBJECT, ARE IR 
RESISTIBLE. 

1. The bridge is strong, and has resisted successfully the two great freshets of 1822 and 1839—it is already built, 
and it will be entirely free in one year. 

2. It opens into Market street directly—the great thoroughfare and business east and west street of the city. 

3. It will enhance the value of the city property above and below it on the east side of the river, and above it on 
the west side of the Schuylkill. 

4. It vests the valuable wharves at the end of Market street, on each side of the river, in the city for ever, and gives 
back to the city what the Company paid her $40,000 for, and prevents all possible injury to the Water Works, Gas 
Works, and to the navigation of the Schuylkill. 

Councils have on at least two distinct occasions "Resolved, That it is expedient that the Schuylkill Permanent Bridge 
be made a free bridge."—IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED NOW BY THEIR SUBSCRIBING FOR THAT 
PURPOSE THE SMALL SUM OF TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. 

June 6, 1839. 


 REPORT. 

The Finance Committee to whom was referred the Peti 
tion of Peter Trezevant, have had the same under consider 
ation ; and after the most thorough scrutiny and patient in 
vestigation, aided by the labors of our predecessors, and 
the searching investigation of the able commissioners ap 
pointed in 1S38, now beg leave to offer the following pream 
ble and resolutions : 

Whereas the Executive council of Georgia, on-the 31st of 
October, 1779, authorised the commissioners of the State to 
purchase of Robert Farquhar, a merchant of Charleston, 
South Carolina, sundry articles of clothing for the troops of 
Georgia, then quartered near Savannah, in a state of great 
destitution, under the command of Gen. James Jackson; 
and which purchase amounted to the sum of .£7,586 10s Id 
sterling money. And whereas, in 1787, after the failure or 
refusal of the State of Georgia to pay this debt, Alexander 
Chisholm, executor of the said Robert Farquhar, brought hie 
suit against .the State in the Federal Court of the United 
States for the money of the same ; and after a full hearing 
of the case, a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff 
for the amount claimed, thus proving the validity of the 
contract, and the just indebtedness of the State. And where 
as, during the pendencjr of this suit, the Legislature of Geor 
gia passed a resolution in December, 1793, solemnty pledg* 
ing its public faith and honor, that in the event the claim ' 
should be found just and true, it sfiould be paid. And where 
as in December, 1794, the said claim, upon being audited 
under her authority, was found just and true, and certificatea 
were issued in favor of Peter Trezevant, the legal represen 
tative of the said Robert Farquhar, then deceased, for tho 
said sum of ,£7,586 10s Id. And whereas, it does not ap 
pear that the portion of said certificates now held liy the said 
Peter Trezevant, and amounting to the sum of ,£5000 ster 
ling, have ever been paid, or that the State of Georgia ever 
made provision for the same according to the just interpreta 
tion of the contract-with the said Trezevant. And whereas, 
in December, 1838, a petition from the said Peter Trezevant 
was presented to the Legislature of Georgia for payment of 
said claim, which was referred to William Law, Joseph H, 
Lompkin and David C. Campbell, with instructions to in 
vestigate and report on the merits of the same. And whenw 
as the said commissioners, at the next session of the Legis 
lature in December, 1839, made a full and able report, show-. 
ing a most careful investigation and research, and solemnly 
affirming the justice and validity of the principal of the debt, 
and the high obligations on the part of Georgia to pay the 
same. And whereas no fact or arguments exist to shake 
the correctness of the report, or the conclusions to which the 
commissioners arrived therein, and it appearing that said 
debt is still due and unpaid, and that the same should be 
settled. And it also appearing that the petitioner is willing 
to receive in payment thereof, the bonds of the State, pay» 
able in ten years, bearing an interest of six per cent, per 
annum. 

Be it therefore resolved, That his Excellency the Governor 
be and he is hereby authorised to issue bonds of the State, 
each for one-tenth part of the sum now due and owing to" the 
said Peter Trezevant, to wit, the said sum of «£5000 ; each 
bond to béai interest at the rate of six per cent, from the J«t 
day of January, 1839, and payable annually after date, or 
sooner at the option of the State ; and that he be authorised 
to deliver said bonds to the said Peter Trezevant, or his au» 
thorised agent or agents, upon surrender of said certificates, 
and the execution of a full discharge of all demands by the 
said Trezevant against the State, on account of said claim. 

Resolved, That in issuing said bonds for the amoant due as 
aforesaid, the pound sterling shall be estimated at and after 
the rate of four dollars and forty-four cents to the pound. 

Resulted, That our Senators and Representatives in Con 
gress be requested to present the amount thus paid to the 
said Peter Trezevant, to Congress, and urge the payment 
thereof by the United States to the State of Georgia; and 
that his Excellency the Governor be requested to transmit 
a copy thereof with the necessary vouchers and documente 
relating to the saine, to our Senators and Representatives in 
Congress. 


 :-ENUINE GOLDEN TINCTURE. 
USE AND EFFECT. 
is one of the most, wonderful remedies, whereby the body, when weakened, obtains new 
strength,-and is useful in many cases of sickness, amongst the rest a foul stomach, when the 
same is over-charged with bile or slime; head-ache, which mostly originates from a foul sto 
mach: it is likewise very serviceable in cases of (.'holic, rising of. the mother, vomiting, nausea, 
asthma, giddiness, and all kinds of humours, which are in the human body. In the above men 
tioned cases, grown persons inay take, at any time of the day, 8 or 12 drops upon a little sugar, 
and children in proportion to their age. If this blood has lost its proper circulation, the best way 
to restore the same, is to give the body a thorough sweating,~in which case 15 or 20 drops be 
taken in the evening, just before'bed-time, and a cup of waimsage tea drank after. In female 
complaints, it may be repeated weekly, several times, until the person feels herself better It 
is particularly good for pregnant women, if they take twice a week 10 drops of it; this keeps 
the blood in circulation, and is particularly gr-od for children that have fits, whereby mother and 
child frequently lose their lives during the labour. It is likewise sovereign against the winds, 
which occasion frequently false pains, whereby the true pains are prevented. Such women 
should take, in the hour of their delivery, several times, 20 drops of this GOLDEN TINCTURE, 
on a piece of sugar, when the false pains will cease, and the true pains return immediately.

Classical 


THE undersigned, a Graduate of EMORY COLLEGE, GEORGIA, having permanently located as 
a Teacher, respectfully solicits the patronage of his friends and the public generally. From ten 
years experience in Teaching, and a constant attention to the duties of his profession, he flatters 
himself that the system of instruction which he is now prepared to give Students pursuing a 
regular classical course, cannot be surpassed by any similar Institution in the State. To parents 
therefore designing to give their sons a Collegiate education, his services are especially tendered, 
since a thorough acquaintance with the preparatory studies is indispensable to the student's 
progress throughout his whole course. His academy pupils will be prepared to enter the higher 
classes in College, or if preferred, thoroughly instructed in a more practical and business course. 

The accessibility, health and quietness of his location — its freedom from scenes and causes 
of dissipation — induce him to hope for a continuance of that liberal patronage, which for so 
many years ho has not failed to secure. 

A strict regard will be paid to moral training and the general deportment of each pupil 
carefully observed. 

Although not required, it is much preferred that pupils be boarded with the Teacher. 

Board, Tuition, fuel, lights, washing, &c., per Term, $80.00. Tuition-fee per term, §20.00.

\ The above Machines have been in general use the last six years, and have proved themselves 
decidedly superior to any other machine now in use preparatory to,the Picker. Cotton manufactur 
ers, who have not these machines, will find it their interest to use them. The Machine is compact, 
occupying but little space. Length 3 feet, width 2 feet, driver pully 6 inches in diameter,—requir 
ing from 1500 to 2000 revolutions per minute. They are built of the best materials, in a workman

Sir,—You ask me to give you, my dpinioji of-.your Patent Cotton Whipper: I have now and have had one of your 
Whippers (purchased of you) in use for* thé' last four years: I believe your Whipper to be far better than any other that I 
have ever used, or seen in use; I do thereforé^cheerfully recommend them to be decidedly superior to any other machine 
that I know of now in use preparatory to the Picker. " Yours, &,c. • SAMUEL WESTCOTT, Manager Perry Mill. 

Mr: Mason: PROVIDENCE, R. T., Sept., 1S40. 

Sir,—You ask my opinion ofryour PATENT COTTON WHIPPER. I have been your agent in selling them the last 
four or five years, and I have spared no pains toânfor-Çi myself .of their inestimable value. The sale of these machines' has 
"been very extensive; -.and"^ c'm say with pleasure', I belie*ye-;all the machines I have sold have given universal satisfaction. 

They have been very highly»Jecommended.^p^me by^öur most skillful manufacturers; therefore I do not hesitate to say 
that I believe your Whippers to be decideJIy stfperjor, to any machine now in use to prepare Cotton for the Picker.

ADDRESS 
OP THE CARRIER OF 

THE HE LI C ON," 


^•1844-«* 


TO ITS PATRONS. 


marietta, Ca., December 25, 1844. 


Once more kind patrons I do call 
Without distinction come to all, 
And I hope that it may be 
A happy time to yours and thee. 

That honest men of every party ~ 
May join in Christmas well and hearty, 
Nor let the best one of us say 
I am for Polk or am for Clay. 

For it is known throughout the land 
That Clay is beat by the loco plan, 
And if I must tell all the joke 
Was beat in fact by — James K. Polk.' 

Althougl am compell'd to say 
This was to be the fate of Clay, 
Since he did have no selfish ends 
To be carri'd out by foreign friends. 

That did not with the party hold 
But for the sake of British gold, 
Would 8*vear that they were naturalized 
And by this plan they were disguised. 


, Perhaps I here had better mth4, 
Or else the Polks might get- my 
And as it is not fit for me 
I think I'd better let it be. 


And now I say just right or rong 
I'll change the nature of my song, 
And call your mind back to the past 
And ask if time don't.fly quite fast 

But here let me just remind you, 
Of Christmas times you'l see but few, 
For it does seem like a short space 
Since first I saw your honer'd face. 

For another year has now rolled round 
Since first you heard my footstep's sound, 
And I have always been the boy 
That took delight to give you joy. 

Not the thing that give me ease 
But the thing that did you please, 
Was the thing that I did seek 
Every Wednesday in the week. 

When midnight's curtain hung around 
You heard the printer boy's sound, 
Preparing for another week 
To give his patrons all a sheet. 

For this he thinks he has some dues 
>*And hopes that none will him refuse, 
•S&OT I do know you all are willing 
1STo give the carrier boy a shilling.

DARIEN SABBATH SCHOOL 

1844. 


1 We come, we come, with loud acclaim, 
To sing the praise of Jesus' name ; 
And make the vaulted temple ring 
With loud hosannahs to our King. 
With joyful heart and smiling face, 
We gather round the throne of grace, 
And lowly bend to offer there, 
From infant lips, our humble prayer, 
To Him who slept on Mary's knee, 
A gentle child, as young as we. 

2 We come, we come, the song to swell, 
To Him who loved our world so well, 
That, stooping from his Father's throne, 
He died to claim it as his own. 
With joy we haste the aisles to fill, 
Yet youthful bands are gathering still ; 
Oh, thus may we, in Heaven above, 
Unite in praises and in love, 
And still the angels fill their home 
With joyful cry, " They come ! they come!"

à I exceedingly regret that uncöhtrolable circumstances have so long placed it out of thé power of the

Treasury ...... have compelled/ the General Council, in making its appropriations, to he confined 

Within the means of its available funds. And in1 making this payment, I am authorized by the last Council

"The Select Committee to whom" was referred'the claims of E. Harden, H. L. Sims,>and E. W. Chester; ' 
Esquires, Attorneys at law, (the same being under rcdonsideration.) have had th'é sanle under consideration, 
arid submit the followingReport : ... 

" Edward Harden; as is personally knovvn to one of the Select Committee, to wit, William Rogers,? has 
rendered legal-services to'the nation and its citizens, since the1 year 1830 to that of 1835, inclusive.1 

" At'the time it was' resolved to'contést the right of Georgia to (he soil of the Nation by bills of Injunction' 
against'the citizens, which was in the years '33, '34, said Harden was regularly employed tiy the "Chief 
of the Nation," together with Judge Underwood, to prepare the injunctions, to apply to the Court to grant 
themj-and-to'sustain thetrij«whenever-attempted to be dissolved. „ . 

" Upon the several occasions, said Harden rendered services equal in extent ana effect to those rendered by 
Meckwell and'Hnnsell ; and rendered equal services to those which'they rendered after their employment'. 

"The Select Committee cannot see wlijrsb great a difference in the payment of these men should have 
been made. They would therefore recommend—That the sum of seventeen hundred arid fifty dollars be" 
paid to said Harden uvaddition to what has already been allowed td him: to Henry L. Sims, seven rouv 
dred and fifty dollars; and to E. W. Chester, five hundred dollars.

" The Committee of the Whole concur with so much of the above report as recommends five hundred 
dollars to be paid to E. W. Chester, Esquire : but reduce the sum proposed to be allowed to Henry L. Sims, 
Esquire, to five hundred dollars; and increase that recommended to be given to Edward Harden, Esquire 
to two thousand dollars. (Signed,) JOHNSON ROGERS,

NUMBER 4. 

«CHEROKEE AGENCY, EAST TENNESSEE, May 22d, 1838. 

"The claims of Edward Harden, Henry L. Sims, and E. W. Chester, Esquires, Attorneys at Law, for 
legal services, were brought before the Committee on the 19th October last. Those of the two first gentle 
men were at that time re-considered by the committee, and the sum of two thousand dollars was allowed 


 to General Harden, and the sum of five hundred dollars allowed to Henry L. Sims, Esquire ; and to. Mr. 
Chester, whose claim was never before acted on by the Committee, the sum of five hundred dollars was 
allowed. 

"The Committee were at that time clearly of the opinion that General Harden had not been treated, 
from some cause or other, with that liberal-justice which his services to the nation demanded ; "and that 
the Committee 'in refusing to allow him as much as was allowed to Rockwell and Hansell, made a dis 
tinction painful to his feelings, inasmuch as it under-rated his services, .(he having done as much as 
they,) and not warranted by tlie facts before them. The Committee atao thought that Col. Sims, and 
Mr. Chester were entitled to the sums above stated. 

"After having stated to the honorable Commissioners their action upon the claims of these gentlemen 
at the time above stated, the committee withdrew it, and upon a reconsideration laid these claims upon the 
table, with the understanding that they should not be again taken up, until near the twenty-third of May.. 
This course was adopted for the purpose of preventing other Attorneys who it was believed had received 
ample compensation lor all the services they rendered the Nation, from pressing for a re-cousidcration of 
their claims. 

" In pursuance of the understanding above mentioned, the Committee took up their claims to-day, and 
have allowed to General Edward Harden the sum of two thousand dollars, and to Henry L. Sims, Esquire, 
the sum of three hundred dollars, in addition to what has been allowed them heretofore ; and respectfully 
recommend said sums to be paid by the honorable the Commissioners to Messrs. E. Harden and Sirns.

The undersigned having learned that Messrs. Underwood, Rockwell and Hausell are pressing their 
claims for legal Services rendered to the Cherokees, insists that he is entitled to, at least, as much as Messrs. 
Rockwell aud.Hansell, and prefers the foregoing documents to sustain his opinion. 

The Choroke'es-employed counsel—the Cherokees have to pay them—and they are the best and proper 
judges of the quantum of services rendered. In regard to those of the undersigned, they have solemnly, 
decidsd. 'As_to!the amount of remuneration, therefore, he claims to be put on an equality at least with Rock 
well and Hansell. Either they ought not to have more than him. or he ought to have as much as they. If 
he has not charged as much as they have, it only proves that he did not know as well as they did, the art 
of making out a large account, and not that he had failed to render services equal to theirs. He could very 
easily have made his demand as large as theirs. 

Tlie Cherokees themselves have admitted that his services " were equal in extent and effect to those ren 
dered by Rockwell and Hansell, and any distinction which underrated his services when compared with 
theirs, was unwarranted by facts." Why then pay them and neglect, him? Shall management triumph 
over plain dealing? He hopes not, and relying upon the justice of his country, asks of his friends and 
the friends of justice to sustain his claims in any future arrangement or liquidation that may be made in 
regard to the further remuneration of theTAttorneys who were engaged in the service of the Cherokees. 

Respectfully submitted.

FROM THE COMMITTEE OF THE 

DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION OF 


DEAR SIR:—The result of our recent Congressional electing jSfFßrds qondnaivje-praof, if any were 
wanting, that Georgia is Democratic ; b'ut, at the same time, it equally demonstrates that a vigorous, uni 
ted and continued effort is necessary to insure a decisive triumph in November. The Democracy of the 
Union look to us with confidence, and we must not disappoint them. Cass and Butler must carry the 
State by not less than 3,000 majority, and this they will surely do, if every Democrat does his duty. But 
we must not suffer our hopes to beguile us into a fatal security. We contend with a wily, untiring and 
unscrupulous party,—we must not forget 1844. Then they were defeated at the October election, but 
they rallied again in November, and though the Democracy gained a brilliant victory, it was only secured 
after a desperate straggle. Our opponents are as energetic and unscrupulous now as they were then» 
and we may look for the same desperate exertions, and the same fierce contest. Let us, therefore, watch 
them with untiring effort. We trust that oui- friends will be on their guard against the reckless falsehoods 
which will probably be extensively circulated, so near the day ojf election, as to prevent contradiction. 
Our opponents did this in 1844, and they may do it again. 

We would respectfully urge every Democrat who loves his country, and desires to transmit his glorious 
principles to his children, to see every one of our friends in his neighborhood before the election, and stir 
them up for a grand rally on the 7th November. We would suggest that two or more discreet and ener 
getic persons be selected in every Justice's district, whose business it shall be to see that every democrat in 
his district votes—let none stay at home. There are democrats enough in Georgia, if they all vote, to roll 
up such a majority as would disperse the forces of whiggery beyond the possibility of any future rally. 
Let us try for such a victory. Let oui- watch-cry be OUR COUNTRY, OUR PRINCIPLES and OUR CANDIDATES, 
for in sustaining one we sustain all. 

We will here state that we have it from the most undoubted authority that Tennessee, our border 
State, will give Cass and Butler from 1 to 3,000 majority. 

We would also request our democratic friends to watch and see that every man's name is registered 
who voles, that those travelling voters^fro«a county to county maybe detected, should they attempt to vote 
at more than one Box. 

Supply your Counties with printed Electoral Tickets.

COLUMBUS, GA. July 26tli, 1844. 


The undersigned have the pleasure to announce to you, that they have been appointed by the 
Democratic Association of Muscogee county, to invite you to attend a Mass Meeting of the Peo 
ple, to be held in this city on Thursday the 29th day of August next. 

The demonstrations which have been made in favor of our principles, and our candidates, as 
well as the zeal and activity which evidently animate.; our friends from Maine to Texas, augur the 
best results to our cause, and stimulate us to increase our efforts for its final success. 

Permit us therefore to indulge the hope, that you will not regard this as a mere formal invita

sion.

ATHENS, GEO., OCT. / &. 1S44. 

GENTLEMEN,—Feeling desirous, as I ever have done, at least to make some dividend amongst 
you, I have thus, even at this late day, presumed to make to you, both an appeal and a proposition. And 
as it is well known to this community, that I have had for some years past, and now have to toil for 
my precarious and daily bread, and that without the most forlorn prospect of a better lot, and as 
time, in its flight, has already placed all the old claims against me legally out of date, though I wish 
them considered in full force, I now entreat you to consider my circumstances, and as a noble class 
of American Merchants, accept my proposal and grant me a discharge. 

PROPOSAL TO MY CREDITORS.—I hold a claim, the original papers for which have but recently come 
into my hands, from Virginia, of which State I am a Native, for two thousand seven hundred and 
eighty one acres of Land—the survey being in Elbert, formerly Wilkes county, Ga., and about forty 
miles from this place—and propose to relinquish my entire interest therein, which is large, to those on 
ly of my Creditors who are willing to give me a discharge. And now, Gentlemen, when I frankly ac 
knowledge that my failure in 1833, was marked with great, very great indiscretion ; when, after hav 
ing been no little defrauded and meeting with many losses, I imprudently endeavored to meet my pay 
ments, and sustain my credit, by frequent and large sacrifices of my interest, should you think proper 
to give the matter due consideration, and grant me a discharge, please give WM. DEARIXG, Esq., 
Commission Merchant, Charleston, S. C.* early notice of the same, and I will forthwith assign the 
claim to Mr. D., or any other person that you may name ; for the equal and mutual benefit of those 
only of my Creditors, who feel willing to accept my ALL, and grant me a discharge. And I will ev 
er gratefully remember your noble and generous course toward me. 

Yours Respectfully, 

WILLIAM G. DRIVER. 


ATHENS, CLARK COUNTY, OCT. 7th, 1844. 

Mr. WM. G. DRIVER—Dear Sir : You are authorized to state, in your communication to your credit 
ors, thatyouare interested in a tract of land, in Elbert county, Geo., amounting to 2,781 acres, on the wa 
ters of Beaverdam Creek, that you inherit from your Father's estate, and that you have the largest interest 
in the tract of land. You may state that the title papers to the tract, were placed in my hands, and 
that arrangements are about to be made to ascertain the title and value. You may refer your creditors 
to me, at my residence, Charleston, S. C. for information. 

Yours Respectfully, ,. • ..... -— --

The Democrats say that the Tariff is une

DIRECT TAXATION. 

Tlie proportion« Georgia

The proportion this Dis

The Whigs will Icvve the Tariff as it is, to 
aefcay the expenses of the Government, and 
protect American Labor & Industry against the 
PAUPER LABOR OF GREAT BRITAIN. 
They will also 
Distribute the Proceeds oftlic Public Lands to 

the Stales where they rightfully belong. 
The annual proportion of 

Georgia, would be 286,736 Dollars. • 
The annual proportion of 
this District, would be 35,842 Dollars. 
The annual proportion of

 TO THE CITIZENS OF HENRY. 


From an unprecedented suit now pend« 
ing in the Superior Court of Henry Coun 
ty, between myself and the Commercial 
Bank at Macon, which has heen pending 
for the lust twelve years, while more than 
half that time it has heen considered by 
each party as settled—and from the fact 
that the Court is now again troubled with 
it,—I deem it necessary to make a detailed 
statement of its history. 

In the winter of 1832 I was appointed 
Enrolling Agent hy the President of the 
United States, to enroll such of the Cherc 
hée trihe of Indians as could be induced lo 
emigrate west, under the provisions of the 
treaty of 1828. I was appointed with 
Maj. Benjamin F. Curry, of Nnshville, 
Tenn. as Superintendant, Maj. William M. 
Davis, of Kentucky, and Maj. J. M. C. 
Montgomery, of Georgia, as Valuing A- 
gents. We mustered a fleet of about 460 
Indians, which were started down the HK 
wassee about the last of March. On 
leaving, it was found that Maj. Curry, (who 
accompanied the parly) was compelled to 
take all the funds the Government had 
there, to support (he emigrants to their now 
homes; and that the operations of the Go* 
vernmenl would have to be suspended for 
want of funds to carry them on, such as 
payiog interpreters, advances on impiove« 
ments to enable emigrants to pay their 
debts before leaviog, &c. Though Con» 
gresswasin session, it was evident that 
funds would and could not Le appropriated 
and forwarded to the Agency for some five 
or six months. Maj. Curry asked me if it 
would not he possible to borrow from somo 
of the hanks in Georgia some two or threo 
thousand dollars for five or six months, un 
til Congress would pass the appropriation 
bill and forward funds ? I replied I did not 
doubt the money could be obtained from 
the Central Bank. He requested me (o 
visit Georgia and make an effort to obtain 
a loan, or the emigration would have to he 
suspended, and he was very desirous that 
we should have another fleet ready hy the 
time he returned. I made the trip—came 
to McDonough, made a note, got Thomas 
D. Johnson, Col. Petit, A. T. Hardin and 
Peter Warren 4o--endorse it, went to the 
Central Bank, hut could not obtain one 
dollar. I then decided to raise money at 
McDonough on my own account, to carry 
on my part of the agency, and others must 
also act for themselves. But I had busi 
ness at Macon which called me by there, 
%here all acquaintances were enquiring of 


me how (he emigration progressed. Among 
them was the late Robert W. Fort. I in 
formed him of tbe funds of tbo Government 
being out, and that the emigration was, I 
thought, likely to suffer by it; and further 
ioforrned him of my business to Milledge- 
villo, to borrow funds until the appropria« 
tion bill, then before Congress, was passed, 
and funds forwarded. He informed me 
that their [nur] bank could furnish the mo 
ney—and this was the first knowledge I 
had that he was President of the Bank of 
Mecon. I informed him that it could not 
be safely promised to be returned for some 
five or six months. He said he thought 
their Board would discount for that time, 
provided I would return the amount in tl. 
S. Bank money, which was the kind then 
paid out by Government. I thought it was 
my duty as a faithful Agent to accrpt these 
terms, drew the money, every dollar in the 
Bunk of Macon bills. 

On returning to the "nation," I deposited 
it, save about four bundred dollars (which 
I took with me) with Oliver Strickland 
(the Clerk of the Superior Court) at Head 
Quarters (Scudders') to be subject to my 
order and the other Agents. I proceeded 
nu a tour of duty, «hen some months there* 
öfter, the time I do not now recollect, news 
arrived of the failure of the Bankof Macon. 
As I had used some of the money, I has 
tened on my back track and took up all 
that had passed through my hands. I had 
exchanged some with surveyors, then in 
the country, who wanted small bills (as 
these were) being more convenient to pay 
small debts, expenses, &c. I knowing I 
could return it, took up every bill that could 
be reached, which were near about all. . 

On returning to Macon with them, I 
found the Bank of Macon closed, but met 
Judge Cole in the street, who informed me 
he held the note as attorney of the Com« 
mercial Bank. I proposed to pay it in the 
same bills I had borrowed. He informed 
me he could not take them, but that the 
Commercial Bank would give me time on 
it hy renewing it to that Bank, which of 
course I declined, and he said be sbould 
sue on it when it fell due; which he did to 
the Spring Term of 1833. But it was 
soon made known to me that if my case 
would float along by continuance, consent, 
&c. that the Commercial Bank would soon 
collect the amount that she claimed, out of 
other assets, and that then my bills could 
come in, &-c< 


So it passed frorrrterrrr-hHeim and ye4sl__ 
to year. Finally the receiver of the as« 
sets of the Bank of Macon filed an injure» 
tion in Twiggs, enjoining some cases there 
(this and other cases] from paying the 
Commercial Bank, alledging that the Com 
mercial Bank was carrying out fraud, &C. 
So it was pending in Twiggs some three or 
four Courts, during which lime the assis 
tant receiver, and who had also acted as 
counsel for the Commercial Bank in this 
case, proposed to settle it. I proposed to 
pay it in the bills before mentioned, which 
he declined, but would take their value, 
say one hundred dollars, as the State had 
not appropriated any fee for the receiver; 
and at the Railroad Convention I paid it. 
and took a receipt. Still the case was not 
disposed of in Twiggs. I had answered 
all the allegations of the receiver's hill there 
(he evaded asking whether I had the bills 
or not, which deprived me of answering 
that I had them.) But it seems that at the 
next Court in Twiggs a clandes'ine settle 
ment was made, and this case so managed 
as to he left open, but kept unknown lo me 
for some time. Finally, I (ound I had to 
attend Henry Court again, and plead the 
bills, and in 1840 or '41 we had a (rial. 
The Jury were out but a few minutes 
before they returned a verdict in my favor 
on Saturday night. On Monday following 
a rule nisi was taken, requiring rne orcoun» 
sel to sbow cause why a new trial should 
not be granted. This was wholly unknown 
to me for nearly three years. It seems that 
a few nights after the nisi was granted, the 
Bank of Macon bills were stolen from the 
office where they were filed away and 
pleaded as offset. 

You see I tiever bad the remotest inter« 
est or benefit from the money which I drew 
from the Bank of Maootv •fcuffiwe '-- 
compelled to spend hundreds for counsel, 
travelling, collecting testimony, &c. Maj. 
Curry, Davis and Montgomery have all 
died since the transaction, and I am près 
vented by this providence of the benefit of 
their testimony. Maj. Curry died during 
the emigration, Davis nnd Montgomery 
soon afterwards; but I have ample testi 
mony to sustain the above statements. 

I submit the foregoing statement of facts, 
to answer the many enquiries daily made 
for information as to the cause of this tedi 
ous suit in your Court.

left Savannah on the 7th inst. at the in- I should make it out for the full time your tho State stigmatized with unrighteouSnes« t? 


stancy of Gov. Crawford, to superintend a 
piece of work upon the Capitol. He was ab 
sent on my arrival, and I waited, ; wo days, 
his return, when we entered into a verbal con 
tract, (in the presence of a respectable witness} 
Jo cast a new gutter round the roof of the Ca 
pitol With Doct. Coyle's American Hydraulic 
1C e ment, and agreed to pay for my services 
$3 per day, I informing him that it would take 
from 15 to 20 days to complete the work. I 
commenced the work with all due dilligence, 
prepared a model for a crane to convey the 
.Cement to the top of tha building, and pro 
ceeded with the work to a quarter completion 
,on the fifth day,when his Excellency, the Ex 
ecutive, or Geo. W. CrawforJ, Esq. informed 
me that I " must stop with the work the next 
day at 12 o'clock M. anil -present my bill." 

I could have finished the work by the 20th 
day, '(weather per/milling). But 1 have been 
£bus stopped—vetoed ! 

In the midst of my surprise at this singular 
treatment, I vras constrained to addresss him 
..the following note : 

Mrs. Huson's Hotel, 
Milfedgevitle, April nth, 1846. 

Gov. CRAWFORD, 

" Sir: The chief Executive of the State of 
Georgia, (the agint of the Sovereign People,) 
having engaged me, through his agent Doctor 
Coyle, to come to Milledgeville to superintend 
a piece of work for the Capitol, 1 must say, I 
am not a little surprised that I am not permit- 
ed to complete it when his Excellency so pos- 
jtively entered into a special arraugemeui for 
that end. Courtesy, only, sir, has influenced 
me in not demanding, verbally, an explanation 
,of your motives in undertaking to frustrate a 
work, (after having been commenced and one 
fourth done) put into my hands by the Exec 
utive. 

" This matter of having the Cement applied 
to the roof of the Capitol, has not heeri the 
agitation of a moment! It has heen nncler con 
sideration for months, as I learn from Doctor 
Coyle, who wrote me to procure the Execu 


tive a cauldron, the which I did and sent it up. 
Next, he is authorised hy the Executive, 10 
.command my services in the superintendence 
of the application of the Cement. I leave Sa 
vannah, at rny own expense, to ohey the sum 
mons—I arrive—make my terms with his K\- 
eellency, and progress with the work amid vile 
inuendoes, slanders, anil obstacles thrown in 
röy way, hy the Executive's petty dynasty, and 
Xhen, Geo. W. Crawforcl, Esq. pounces down 
upon me and commands me to stop the work 


agent, Dr. Coyle, informed me it would take 
to complete the work. 

11 It is not possible that an Executive could 
do less than arrive at honorable conclusions in 
supporting the dignity of the State, nor can be 
suffer the State to he wanting in moral princi 
ple, hy sacrificing individual interest, in the 
hope, thereby, to benefit the State. [Forbid 
it, Humanity ! Forbid it, Justice ! 1 ] 

" I regret, exceedingly, sir, that any thing 
should have occurred to prevent the work he- 
ing thoroughly completed. I have the gratify 
ing consolation to know that I have thrown no 
obstacle in the way ; on the contrary, I have 
done every thing in my power to facilitate it. 

" I have just informed Col. Redding that I 
am in want of more Cement, and he responds" 
not to my call. 

" Were ,1 disposed to phlebotomise the 
State, your Excellency is the last man I would 
think of using as a lance. 

" Your answer to the ample question, whe 
ther I shall make out my bill for the time it 
might have taken to complete the work, will 
determine me in my future course. 
" With all due respect I am 

Your Excellency's 

obedient servt, 
G. R. LILLIKRIDGE." 
In nil the day, " the Executive" was silent, 
deeming it, probably, ungubernatorial to make 
an answer in writing, «»• laboring under the 
apprehension that he might commit ''Geo. W. 
Crawfoid.Esq." 

On the next morning, the 18th, I presented 
the following bill, through one of his auxillia- 
ries, Mr. Horn :— 
" Gov. Crawford, 

To G. R. Lillibridge, DR.- 
Passages to and from Milledgeville & 

Savannah, 18 CO 
Breakfast and dinner on the road, up, 1 CO 
Supper, lodging and breakfast, np and 

retnrning, at Solomons', Gnrclon, 2 50 
Boarding bill at Mrs. Husons, with bill, 16 50 
Paid fur a kettle at Newells' ditto 1 75 


2 selves, at Shahann' 
Paid for flour for paste, 


ditto 1 00 
0 25 


41 00 
5 days superintendence <?n Capitol roof, 15 00 


$56 00 

He sends his message back to pay the " Su- 
de'tintendence" only. I requesied his Secre 
tary, after striking off the item of my time, to 
take the bill hack to his Excellency, for him to 

iby 12 M. on the sixth day ot the progress of pay the remainder, $41 00, expenses, and he 
jthe work—(when the Executive was inform- declined making any message. 


«d hy me that it would take me from 15 to 20 
days to complete it.) 

"Furthermore, when written to by Doctor 
Coyle, at the Governor's instancy, he stated 
that it " would take from 20 to 25 days"—but 
I give an extract from his letter, dated 

" « Milledgeville, April 4, 1S46. 
"'I have just seen his Excellency. He is 
waiting for fair weather to apply the Cement 
to the roof of the Capitol. This job will riot 
consume more than fifteen barrels of Cement, 
I know not, if, at present, he will apply more, 
that will amonnf only to $75. Should you 
think it worthy yonr notice to come up to have 
that applied, it will afford me great pleasure, 
that is, should you think one half the profits 
srr îir^j ,''om :îiia ,iii uinrt would remunerate 
yen for your time. Of course/, the Governor 
would pay you for your superintendence.— 
Let then no delay take place. Should you 
conclude to come, start immediately, it will 
take you from 20 to 25 days.' 

T. C. COYLE. 

"I have disregarded the attempts made to 
harrass me, by the Executive's dynasty, ' from 
the fact, that Ï have too deep and abiding an 
interest in this excellent hydraulic and its suc 
cessful application, in all cases, to be driven 
.off my course. For this ungenllemanly treat 
ment I am at a loss to account. Your mind 
jt seems, has heen very suddenly poisoned, I 
may not seek to disabuse it. 

" You say, " njake out my bill," Jf I do so, 


I then made out a separate bill for 5 days 
Superintendence only, and it was paid. 

Now, does his Excellency think that I will 
give np my jnst demand, without seeking re 
dress Î Will the people of the State suffer 
their Governor's parsimony to withhold a just 
demand, either in the shape of my actual out 
lay for my expenses, or for the full time Icn- 
faged to do tlie work ? . Certainly not ! unless 
e can show a proper reason for my discharge. 
His narrow, contracted hearledness is man 
ifested in the refusal to pay for 25 cents worth 
of flour, which was applied to the work even 
after I had heen withdrawn from> it, as also, 
the pay for the kettle and seives, bought ex 
pressly for, and indispensably necessary to the 
work. Such conduct, (if even perpetrated hy 
the humblest individual in community) should 
he held np to the scorn and contempt of every 
man. I am constrained to use emphatic (tho' 
well merited) language, to speak my wrongs, 
when no explanation is given for my with 
drawal from the work. 

The remainder of my bill will, in due time, 
and in proper shape, he brought before the 
assembled Representatives of the people. See 
then, through tho policy of the Executive— 
he an examination into my de- 


its proudest or humblest citizen. 

I am well aware, and have inticipated the 
fact, that, the people, or a majority of them, 
may be inclined to think that an Executive 
cannot do wrong, especially when he is striv 
ing [ but, such striving ! ] to save the State 
every expence in his power. With some men 
an Executive might trifle with impunity !—As 
one of the sovereign people, and Gov. Craw 
ford as one of the servants of the sovereign 
people, [ so much for our republican institua 
tsons /] he will find that I have every confid 
ence in the sovereign people to do me ample 
justice. 

It has been suggested by some noble and 
respectable spirits here, to have a Committee 
investigate the work as far as done and reporC 
thereon, as an accompanying qualification to 
my bill when it shall come before the legisla 
ture. I have only to say, with due respect for \ 
their kindness, that I would scorn to do so in 
the face of the many testimonials from the 
most eminent men in the country, (and among 
Jhern, engineers of most accomplished judg 
ments,) all of which-have been laid before the 
Executive by the Patentee. I say, I would 
scorn to take such a course, which would only 
involve such gentlemen, as might Volunteer, 
with me in withstanding the petty malice of 
Gov. Crawford. '•• 

Here, then, is a plain case—Gov. Crawford, 
when in Savannah, about a year ago, sought 
an interview with Dr. Coyle, the patentee of 
the article in question, and, in that interview, 
stated that he wished to have it applied to the 
government buildings. Subsequently, Doctor 
Coyle temoves to Millegeville, and the desire 
is renewed. I am written to, to send up a 
cauldron—also, to come up and superintend 
the going on of a work—and in five days dis 
charged, in the most ungentlemanly manner, 
without a why or', a wherefor! What man of 
spirit would bend beneath, such an indignity Î 
Get a gentleman to go to the expense of $41, 
and turn him adrift with $15. 

It appears to me, and must be apparent to 
every candid and unbiased mind, that Gov. C. 
wished only to possess himself of my services 
long enough only to instruct the Penitentiary 
hands. But how he can do this in the face of 
an agreement for " 15 or 20 days," I am at a 
loss to determine. 

In a work of such vast importance as the 
preservation of the Capitol, there should have 
been a liberal provision at my command. I 
ask, would the people of Georgia sanction a 
picayune-ish spirit in the administration, when 
a work of such magnitude as the preservation 
of the Capitol from becoming a mass of crum 
bling ruins was at stake 1 Would any citizen 
complain if $2000 were expended, (instead of 
$250,) to preserve this noble structure from 
destruction 1 

In sending forth this statement, I would 
have it understood, that, I do it not in a spirit 
of maüce, nor is it done to excite sympathy or 
to weave a mantle of noteriety—but it is done 
to show my position as a victim to Executive 
contumely—to protect an article I have a deep 
interest in, feeling satisfied, that, as far as it 
has been applied in this instance, that it will 
prove of no avail, yet, had I been permitted 
to have proceeded with the work 10 comple 
tion, I would have warranted it for all the pur 
poses for which it was designed, viz: the pre 
servation of the capitolr which, I regreLto.say, +£_„ 
is in a very precarious condition, from its sub- :j; .<* 
jeciion to numerous leaks behind the parapets "> {? 
Had the Executive, amicably, sent me his ',* § 
message, admiiting, to pay the five days, and, 'M ™ 
requiring me to leave the other fifteen, or ex- /; o 
pense hill, open for proper adjudication, he ' ' j> 
would have spared me the pains of making '& 
this expose. 

There is but one course to pursue when an 
humble citizen would seek redress of a public 
officer—the Press, that moral engine, created

 Ordered, That, in lieu of reporting the departures and arrivals of the mails, by means of the Regis 
ters heretofore used, the performance of mail service be reported and certified by the Postmasters at "the 
ends of each route, as follows, to wit : 1st. They are to report to the First Assistant Postmaster General, 
every instance as it occurs, where the mail departs or arrives after the contract time, whether with or 
without excusable cause, and likewise evtery other description of failure to perform according to con 
tract—and 2dly, at the end of each quarter, they are to certify to the Auditor of the Department, that 
the mail has been carried on the route, according to contract, excepting the failures before reported. 
The Schedule of arrangements reported to the Postmaster by the Department, with the notifications of 
changes therein, subsequently ordered by the Department, will show what service the contract re 
quires. 

Ordered, That no quarterly mail pay to contractors, accruing after the 1st April next, be issued, 
but upon a statement to the Auditor from the Postmasters at both ends of the route, made on or after 
the expiration of the quarter, certifying that the mail has been duly carried upon the route, accord 
ing to contract for the entire quarter, excepting in the instances of failures and delinquencies before re 
ported to the First Assistant Postmaster General. 

The duty on the part of Postmasters of making these reports and certificates is an indispensable 
one, that can U • uegkcted in no instance, without injury to the Department or the Contractor. Its 
punctual performance, therefore, must be insisted on, in all cases, without waver or excuse.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, 

Contract Office, 

SIR: g, ts<££*^e_^ 1846 

The foregoing orders will show, that before payment cem be made to you, each failure that may 
have occurred on your route is to be reported to the Department, and a certificate of performance for the 
quarter is to be rendered by the Postmasters at the ends of the route. 

The better to insure the issuing of your pay, in due time, you should ascertain at the Post Offices, 
at the ends of your route, whether each failure has been reported, and the certificate of performance has 
been forwarded as above required. 

The obligations imposed upon you, by your contract, are 

1. 'To carry the whole mail, leaving no part of it behind. 

2. To carry it free from depredation, loss, wet or other injury. 

3. To carry it in a place and manner, that does not expose it to depredation, loss, wet or other 
injury. 

4. To carry the mail in the mode of conveyance specified in the contract, if it be named Cbarein. 

5. To deliver the mail to every, office on the route, or that may be hereafter establised on the route. 

6. To keep the mail in a secure place, under lock, where the carrier stays at night, if no post office 
be kept at such place. 

7. To take » mail from each office on the route. 

8. To arrive with the mail at the office or offices, named in the schedule, at the time stated in 
the schedule. ^"^- 

9. In case you perform trips on the r f^e, more frequently or more rapidly than those, by which 
you contract to carry the mail, you are to convey the mail, also, by such additional or more 
expeditious trips. 

10. To convey Post Office blanks, mail bags, and special agents of the Department, on the ex 
hibition of their credentials, if your mode of conveyance be such, as to admit of their trans 
portation 

11. You are expressly prohibited from transmitting or being concerned in transmitting commercial 
intelligence ahead of the mail ; and from carrying letters or o,ther mailable matter out of 
the mail ; and from conveying over your route those, who are engaged in that business. 

12. As you are responsible for the person, to whom you entrust the mail, you will observe, that the 
law ibrbids the employment of any other, as a carrier, than a free white person. He fcu.-ii.s.!, in 
all cases, be sworn, and his oath sent to the Department for file, and he should be, at least, 
16 years of age, sober and of sufficient discretion, age and size, to understand his obligations, 
and to handle the mail bags and afford the mail the protection, that the nature of the route 
and service may require. 

13. The more effectually to exclude suspicious, incompetent, drunken or refractory persons from 
having charge of the mails, you are to dismiss from your service, any carrier, when required 
to do so, by order of the Department. 

Whilst you will exert every effort to fulfil all and each of these obligations, it will be for your inte- 
rest, whenever a iuilure does occur, to inftwn the Departmeui of it at c.üce, and of the circumstances that 
caused it. This is a course, best calculated to relieve you from censure and penalty, where the facts, 
when known, will warrant it ; or to moderate the fine, where its imposition is required ; and in either case, 
to enable your pay to be transmitted to you as it falls due. And notice is hereby, specially given, that no 
fine will be reconsidered, upon an excuse or explanation made after the fine has been imposed, unless it 
shall appear to have been out of the power of the contractors to have presented it in due season. 

Respectfully, 

Your obedient servant,

SENOR BENNETI, has a game leg, an eye like a snake, which 

is generally fixed on the Whiskey Bottle. 

(Conspirators seated, smoking segars.) 

C/HIET SPEAKS.—" Brethren, the hour for business has arrived, 
And I, according to our rules, which to obey ' ' 
We have an oath most solemn taken, do now proceed, 
To lay before you, such information, as fortune 
Has thrown in my way. Alas I it doth 
Lay heavy on my soul, that I such îli-reporï 
Am forced to make of our advancement. Since last we met, 
The enemy hath pushed his inroads to our very camp, 
And men who erst were most infuriate to revenge our wrongs, 
Now throw their greasy caps on high and -cry out 
TOOMBS I A nd while desertion stalks unmasked 
E'en in our midst, we hear of no accession to our ranks. 
Tistrue, one patriot in Hog-wallow, Sam Pone Proctor 
Named, hath deeply sworn, that for two bushels of 
The staff of life, he will implant his dagger in the heart 
Of any villian Yankee, who dares invade our shores, 
And to supply his need, two dollars must this night 
From out the general fund be given."— 

[At this point the chief is interrupted by an argument between 
Senors Benneti and Cartara, upon the respective merits of their pointer 
dogs; silence being restored, he resumes],— 

11 And in conclusion, I can only urge 

The desperate .state of our affairs, and I submit it to your wisdom 
That you devise some instant remedy." 

{SENOR ANTONINI RISES.] "Most noble Chief; 
It is well known to all of you, that my descent 
Is lineal from the great Mark Anthony, who shared 
With Cœsar the empire of the world. Like him 
I have a soul, that quails not in adversity. 
What I shall we who rule the destinies of the county Burke, 
Who have ithese tad-pole eaters at our beck and nod, 
Shall "we lose heart, because our power is on the wane? 
Forbid it, humbug I we've thus far practiced on their folly, 
And we can stretch it further still. The end 
Shall sanctify the means. What care I, if by 
Perversion of the truth, we gain men's votes? 
If civil war, if ruin and sad desolation 
Affright the land, why, I have nought to lose, 
And those who cannot lose, must win, 
Let us invent new grievances, pioscrïbê 
Still more the honest men who have at heart 
Their country's weal—boldly pursue this course, 
And I'll be warrant for the issue"— 

[SENOR BENNETI.] " So far as I'm concerned, I do not care 
A continental damn for any principle involved. 
I could see to-morrow every nigger in the South 
Set free, and sleep as sound as tho' 
Lullabied by .strains of sweetest music ; 
But my element is mischief, I would rather see 
The gutters running blood, fire devastating towns, 
Fiends ravish virgins, than sit in quiet and dose 

My life away, asTîicoe good Union men would have" its \ 
They are far seeing men, would have their country ' 
Greater still, as it is now the greatest. My station 
With the good, must be inferior ; but when anarchy 
Prevails, Mark Anthony's astute scion and myself 
May shine as brilliant stars. The difficulty ;s 


To keep the tools we work with uninformed, in 

Blissful ignorance of the use we put them to. 

So far we have succeeded, and our pot-valiant 

Fire eaters are ready now to face the world in arms, 

So there's no fighting to be done. The question is, to keep 

Them so until the election-day—already, our "brave 

Chief informs us, they show signs of faltering, the 

Dirt-eating scamps 1 My counsel in the strait is this, 

Continue as we have begun, "put every plan in operation, 

That ingenuity can devise, or rascality can execute. 

Make each man think that upon his shoulders 

Rests the salvation of his country—jet them see 

Their names in print. 'Twas thus I made a tool of 

That infernal ass, Brins Perkins, ana now he .honestly believes 

The North turns pale, whene'er his name is mentioned. 

I am done." 

'[CHIEF SPEAKS.] " I do most solemnly .protest 
Against such sentiments as have been uttered 
Within our hearing. I am most honest in the 
Cause I advocate, and I have much to lose. 
But votes are votes—so let it pass " 

[SENOR CARTARA.] " I could talk two weeks, and never tire, 
Upon this interesting theme. But I'm tetotally 
By damned, if I've the least idea of setting 
Niggers free—I have too, a few to lose ; 
And like our chief, I only acquiesce 
Because the object is to keep the county Burke 
Tru« to the fire eating side. • Something must 
Be done. Oh Quinzimaniskrini tell as what." 

[QuiNziJ " And I can do it— 
If I have studied any thing, 
To much advantage, it is human nature ; 
And more especially the nature of those men 
Who live in miasmatic regions, drink water 
Redolent with the stench of rotten limestone, 
Whose days of happiness are those brief intervals, 
Between one chill and fever and the next. It is a 
Physiological fact, that in this county in September, 
There is a strong affinity between men's politics 
And their appetites. Talk about inventing lies; 
'Taint worth a damn ; feed'em, feed'em ; barbacue

Some small potato lawyers, to whom Nature has denied 
The means of being great. Now we must do 
What Nature has not done. My plan is this— 
In every district give a barbaaue ; the smell 
Of burning meat before, and after dinner a belly-full 
Will predispose most favorably our audience 
To the puny efforts even of our spiked team 
Of lawyers. And I, albeit, somewhat ashamed 
Of the concern, will sometimes for the nonce, throw 
In a word or two. What say you brethren to the plan ?"

MY DEAR SIR : 

My inexperience in the expenses of a Newspaper office, led me origifially to sup 
pose, that they were less onerous than I have found them to be. The first year, with 
almost every new enterprize, is one of outlay with but little profit. Such has been my 
experience in the management of the Republic. Allow me frankly to state, that in con 
sequence of inadequate capital, I am thrown upon the kindness of those who have gener 
ously patronized my paper, to obtain the means of relief from considerable embarrass 
ment. But for this / should not trouble you now. I have paid out, for materials, work 
and other expenses, more than four thousand dollars since taking the incipient steps to 
issue my paper. The amount due me would, if I could realize it, give me SUBSTANTIAL 
RELIEF, and enable me with renewed energy, to increase my exertions to make the Re 
public what I wish it to bé, a Valuable Family Paper. Various additional expenditures 
are necessary to consummate my purposes. , 

Let me then, Dear Sir, solicit your aid by the payment of the subscription for the / 
first year, without the necessity of burthehing myself with the expense of travelling 
collecting Agents. You can send the amount, free of charge, by application to the Post 
Master, and for the same, a receipt will be immediately forwarded to you. < 

I thank you for the encouragement which your name has afforded mef and will be 
happy to retain it upon my list. / ' 

With high respect, I am, Dear Sir, % 
Your obedient servant, 

JAMES M. SMYTHE.

 DIRECTIONS FOR USING YOUR GIN. 


The band should be six inches wide after it is stretched, out of well tanned, even thickness, pliant harness or belt leather. A Gin can 
not run light without a wide band of suitable leather. 

The Gin should set level on the floor, the long way, the ends perpendicular by a plumb line, bearing equally on each leg or post; one 
side may be higher than the other, if necessary, but if one end is higher than the other, the seed will incline to the low end and break the roll. 
You will discover an idle pulley, or whirl, in a small frame, not made fast to the Gin, which use as follows : if the band runs through the 
back side of the Gin, as is most common, let the pulley and frame remain as it is, both parts of the band running above the pulley, the 
under part bearing on it, and as the band stretches, shove up the frame to tighten it ; but if the band comes out in front of the Gin, which 
is sometimes the case, then take out the frame and pulley, and place in front, near the Gin and the floor, for both parts of the band to run 
under, the upper part bearing against the pulley, so as to wrap as much as possible around the pulley on the saw shaft. 
Close up tight the back side of the Gin, from the moat or flue-board down to the floor. 

If you wish all the moats taken out, raise or shove out the moat-board as far as it will allow and not drop too much lint with the moats, 
and turn up the buttons at the lower corners to hold it ; by having the moat-board so high as to drop two or three pounds of lint with the 
moats during the ginning, each bag will gain in quality four times the loss in quantity. 

If the seed are not well cleaned, raise the tail of the breast and turn up the buttons placed below, and let the breast rest on them ; or if 
it picks too slow with the breast raised, perhaps by raising the front of the Gin an inch or more on blocks, the breast may be let down 
again. The seed of damp cotton are more difficult to clean than dry—it may require the breast or Gin raised for damp cotton, and allowed 
to be down for dry. Some seed shed better than others, some incline to lodge on the breast, and not fall freely, in that case raise the back 
side of the Gin one inch, or more if required. Raising the tail of the breast will prevent cotton napping, unless very much too damp, and 
will make the quality of any cotton better, because it gins slower ; and especially when ginning Mastodon, the tail should be raised more 
or lees, according to the condition of the cotton ^d&ieneBB of the saw teeth ; if necessary for either, the tail of ihe breast may be raised 
as high as it will allow and keep the roll in operation, by adding to the thickness of the buttons with wood or leather. Cotton should, how 
ever, be dry, if possible, when ginned ; no fast Gin can gin damp cotton without napping more or less. 

Run the brush band over the bru,sh pulley; if the band becomes too slack, cut out about one inch and a half, and fasten as before—if it 
needs cutting again, shorten it not more than one inch : neither band should be tighter than absolutely necessary to keep their place and the 
Gin running; too tight a band causes the boxes to heat and wear out much faster, and the draught to be much more heavy on the team. 
It is well to use a bushel of cleaned seed, mixed with seed cotton, at the first start. 

While feeding a Gin, the Ginner should be constantly putting cotton into the box with the ringers, in small quantities, regular from end to 
end, rather the meet at the ends, as fast, and no faster than the seed can be cleaned and discharged ; if fed too fast, too many seed 
will accumulate in the box, and break the roll ; if too slow, the seed will shed foul ; either will retard the progress and lessen the quantity 
ginned. Should the roll break from over-feediiig, slacken the feed, and shake the box by raising and lowering at the tail, instead of using 
a stick. If the roll breaks when the Gin is regularly fed, you may know one end of the Gin wants raising more or less. 

Keep the boxes constantly oiled with lamp oil or soft grease—tallow is better than nothing, but must be pressed down very often, or it 
will not settle down within reach of the gudgeon. I send a can extra, to induce you to use lamp oil—the gudgeons should not run a mo 
ment without being covered with grease of some kind. 

Your cotton or lint room should be as long and high as possible, and so wide as not to obstruct the passage of the lint after it leaves the 
brush. If it is on the floor with the Gin, PS is most common, it should be closed tight all round, top, bottom, sides and ends, except one 
opening of about two feet wide, at the back end of the floor over head, a little more or less, just sufficient to let out the wind made by .the • 
brush, which will create a draught through the room, and send the cotton much of it to the far end before it falls, which will open the lint, * 
and sample better, than if dropped near the Gin ; besides, it prevents the lint from dropping under the Gin, which is frequently the case 
when the lint room is out of order. This draught may be further assisted by having a door or window through the wall, directly in front 
of the Gin ; if a window, it should extend to the floor. Tf too much lint should fall under the Gin, you may know it is for want of a 
draught, which may be remedied as above directed : if the lint falls into a room below, that also should be tight. No doors or windows 
allowed to be open when ginning. 

If the saws rub the breast, first ascertain on which side, then move the whole in the opposite direction, with the screw in the box at that 

end of the cylinder, first turning back the screw in the opposite end, as much as the other requires turning forward ; and be particular not 

\ to turn either too much—a thickness of paper may be sufficient,—merely start the screw as little as possible, and try until it runs clear ; 

and be certain not to let both press against the ends of the cylinder, allow them to touch so slight as only to keep the cylinder in place, 

and not bind in the least. A wrench is sent with the Gin, for turning the screws. 

The team should not be drove faster than a brisk walk while ginning, and should be made gentle before starting a new Gin ; brushes 
.are frequently broken by fractious teams—all sudden starts should be avoided. 

The inside of the Gin should be cleared of lint once or more each day, and if the cotton is damp, the saw teeth should be cleaned at 
night after work, and wiped dry with cotton. <Sreat care should be taken to keep out sticks, rocks, nails, &c. 

A Gin cannot pick fast with a slow gear, nor run light with one badly made, nor perform well and keep in order, without proper atten 
tion and good treatment. All cast gear within my knowledge, run slow and pull heavy. 

My Gins are proven to perform well before leaving the factory, and if the above directions are followed, I warrant them to do BO, on trial 
by the purchasers.

 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA. 

AT SAVANNAH, JANUARY TERM, 1848. 


DAVID C. LEVY, Plaintiff in Error, vs. SOLOMON COHEN, Defendant in Error. 


of 


Ca&Ul»TO^, for Defendant in Error. 


THE defence in this case is founded upon the Statute of Georgia, which authorises an 
endorser of a promissory note to require the holder to proceed to collect the same within three 
months, and if the holder should fail to do so, the endorser shall be discharged from further 
liability. Prince 462, 471. 

We contended, before the Court below, that this statute regulated and afiected the reme 
dy, or means of recovery, and therefore was to be regarded as the lex fori. 

Story's Con. of Laws, Sec 676, et seq. Levy vs. Boas, 2 Bailey's Rep. 217. Ruggles 
vs. Keeler, 3 John, Rep. 263. Andrews»«. Heriot, 4 Cowen's Rep. 508, and note 10 at page 
528. The British Linen Co. rs. Drummond, 10 Barn & Cress, 903. De La Vega vs. Vianna, 
1 Barn & Adol., 284. Lincoln vs. Batelle, 6 Wend, 475. 

The question has been settled in reference to the Statute of Limitations, and this Statute 
is a quasi Statute of Limitation, giving holder three months after notice to commence his suit, 
or lose his remedy against the indorser. 

It is true, that this point was decided by the Judge below against us, and he has accord 
ingly so certified ; but if he was wrong in this, then however wrong he may have been on the 
other points, if this point was conclusive for us, this Court will not send the case back. 1 
Kelly 580. 2 Kelly 381. 

2d. If this be not lex fori, then we affirm that it was a Georgia contract so far as the 
endorser was concerned, and that therefore the lex loci contmclus must govern.

sec 314. 

The fact that this note was payable in Charleston, by the maker, cannot take this case 
out of the rule thus settled. That was the contract of the maker — that will make the Caro 
lina law applicable to him — but not to us — the contract on the part of the indorser is, not 

if tho maker 


"ay 


that he will pay the note when and where the maker has promised 

'does not pay it there, at maturity, that he, .the indorser, will thereafter pay it, on request — 
and that request must of course be made to him where he lived, and where his contract was 
made, viz. in Georgia. So far, then, as our contract is concerned, we made it in Georgia, to 
be executed in Georgia. Story on Con. of Laws, sec 315. Story on Prom. Notes, sec. 339,

Of course, if this lex loci contractas is to govern, it follows, as a necessary consequence, 
that any defence or discharge (such as the one we make,) that is sufficient by the law of the 
State of Georgia, would be good and held valid in every other place and country» Story on 
Notes, p. 1Ü7, sec 168.

Every holder of this paper took it cum onere, with the right reserved by our con 
tract, to give notice to him to "proceed to collect," and to hold ourselves discharged, if he did 
not sue within the time prescribed. Story on Notes, p. 188. And this should, especially, be 
the case here, as the Plaintiff in Error took this note after it became due, and after this defence 
had attached upon it. 

But, whilst these principles of law may be admitted, their revelancy will be denied. It 
will be said, that this was a Carolina, not a Georgia contract — that though the manual act of 
indorsement was made here, the paper was not to take effect until it reached Charleston — 
and that it was an accommodation note, made in renewal of a note already discounted in 
Charleston --—and, therefore, thai, \va-- taw place where the coutr&c-.t was finally-completed 
and assented to. 

To all this, we answer — that the manual act is certainly the essential act to shew 
where the contract was entered into, unless there be some strong countervailing testimony — 
that this act was done by us here •— that the holder directed his letters to us here — knew us 
to be residing here, and treated the contract as if made by us here, as he subsequently de 
manded from maker "a town (i. e. Charleston) indorser :" that the very fact that this note 
was a renewal of a former note that had already been discounted by the Charleston Insurance 
& Banking Company, so far from being against us, is decidedly with us ; because, before the 
original note became due, the Charleston Insurance & Banking Company wrote to defendant, 
asking him either to waive protest of the old note, or indorse the new note sent to him, and 
that defendant, in Savannah, answered the letter, and acceded to the request, by endorsing 
and enclosing the note ; and the moment he mailed this letter enclosing the new note, the contract 
was complete in Georgia : the subsequent discount of the new note was a mere pro Jorma act, 
to carry out the contract already entered into, and for all legal purposes, complete and binding 
upon the parties. Story on Contracts, p. 53, sec 154. Adams vs. Lindsell, 1 Barn &, Aid., 681. 

We affirm, therefore, that our contract was completely assented to in Georgia — neither 
party could recede from the contract, as soon as the defendant had mailed his letter, and the 
mail bag was locked. If the mail bag had been robbed, would not defendant have been liable 
to a bona fide holder ? If the defendant had died, would not his estate have been answerable ? 
——— But suppose it te-b&tfoer that-the diseountuf the-irote-in Charleston wasnecessary to— 
give it perfect vitality, yet, when that vitality was given, it referred or related back to Georgia, 
where the indorsement was made and where the defendant resided, and this indorsement must 
still be considered a Georgia contract, or 'indorsement. Smith vs. Mingey, I Maule- & 
Selwyn, 87.

Nor falter, nor turn back, 
And swear, you'll work the harder, 

When you think of "Honest Zack."

 MEMORIAL. 


To the Honourable itie Senate, and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in 

General Assembly. 

The undersigned have been appointed a Committee, to present a Memorial to your Honourable body, in rela 
tion to the Colonial records of the State of Georgia. 

It has been an object of solicitude, to all successive Legislatures of this State, to procure a complete series of 
its Colonial records, from the foundation of the Colony, in 1732, to the period of the Revolution. They embrace 
the proceedings and correspondence of the Trustees, and subsequently of the Royal Governors. They are equally 
important, to guide the Legislation of the State, or to frame its history. 

Prompted by the importance of tbe subject, the Legislature of Georgia, in the early year of 1802, adopted 
measures to procure transcripts of these records. In that year, Mr. Rufus Kiug, Minister of the United States at 
tbe Court of St. James, obtained for the State, two large trunks of public documents, which were examined by a 
Committee, raised for that object, by the Legislature. 

In 1819, Mr. Joseph Bevan, was appointed historiographer to the State. Through the intervention of Con 
gress, and the good offices of Mr. Rush, then Minister in London, and but recently in Paris, permission was granted 
by Mr. Canning, the then British Secretary for Foreign Affairs, to have a specified list- of documents copied. State 
papers being the property of the Crown, no researches could be conducted, or copies made, but with such permis 
sion. The difficulty here was complex. It was necessary to ask for copies of specified papers; and yet these 
papers could not be specified, till research had determined, what records were deposited in the State Paper Office. 

In the year 1836, the Legislature again acted upon this subject, and appointed the Rev'd. Mr. Howard, agent 
of the State, to proceed to London, and solicit of the British Government, permission to transcribe all documents 
connected with the Colonial history of Georgia in the various offices. As the result of Mr. Howard's agency, he 
succeeded in procuring, and bringing home, twenty-two volumes of documents, transcribed from records in the State 
Paper Office, and that of the Board of Trade and Plantations. 

There remained, however, in these offices, most important records, unknown to the keepers, and which escaped 
the researches of Mr. Howard. These were the acts and correspondence of the Trustees from 1732 to 1735, and 
which alone were wanted to complete the Colonial series procured by Mr. Howard. 

The existence of these important records wasjnade known to the Georgia Historical Society, by correspondence 
with its Honorary Member, Mr. Charles Lemon, 'Principal Keeper of Her Britannic Majesty's State Paper Office. 
At the moment of this announcement, the history of Georgia, was being written by the Rev. Dr. Stevens, of Athens, 
under appointment of tbe Society. He had deplored the hiatus, in the series of Colonial records from 1732 to 1735, 
and had made the consideration of that period, last in his work, which should have been first, had the nesessary 
materials been furnished. 

In this urgent state of the case, the Georgia Historical Society did not hesitate, to raise the means for procur 
ing these indispensable records. They were accordingly obtained, through the courtesy of Mr. Lemon, at an ex 
pense of $600 to the Society ; and they were immediately placed in Dr. Stevens' hands, which enabled him to 
complete the first volume of his History, which has been since published. 

Your Memorialists are now instructed to pray, that your Honourable body will relieve them from that debt, and 
appropriate a sum for that object. The six volumes of manuscript records, would thereby become the property of 
the State, and with the twenty-two volumes heretofore obtained by Mr. Howard, they would constitute a complete 
series of Colonial records, from the earliest settlement of Georgia. The twenty-two volumes belonging to the 
State, have been confided to the care of the Georgia Historical Society, as a depository. 

Your Memorialists would beg to add, if that circumstance should be deemed an appeal to the Liberality of the 
Legislature, that the Georgia Historical Society have just erected a substantial fire-proof building, for the preserva 
tion and security, of their invaluable collection of books, printed and manuscript. Here will ever exist, a complete 
library of reference, for the Legislator, Statesman and Historian of this, and the other States of this Confederacy. 
It is open to every citizen of Georgia, at all times, and without restriction. To a special historical library, of rare 
manuscripts and printed books, beginning with De Bry and Sir Robert Montgomery's proposed Margraviate of 
Azilia, the Society is possessed of a valuable miscellaneous library of six thousand volumes, equally open and free to 
the citizens of Georgia. 

The Historical building cost the Society about six thousand dollars, and the appropriation now solicited, is the 
more valuable, under this circumstance of indebtedness. 

The Georgia Historical Society, by its unassisted resources, have already published two volumes of papers, rela 
tive to the early history of the State, which would else have been accessible, but to few persons. They propose to 
continue this series of publications, as far as their limited means will permit. And they respectfully submit to your 
Honourable body, the consideration of some aid in promotion of this desirable object. 

Wherefore, your Memorialists respectfully pray, that your Honourable body will grant and appropriate the 
sum of Six Hundred Dollars for the objects and purposes, herein submitted.
