 ...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

JAMES -MADISÖM 


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.

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 gr
