was not wanting ambitious Dema
gogfa, whole grovelling breast, rank
led With envy, at the elevated situa
tion of the Marquis.
During the ferment and agitation of the
popular miud,fufpicious even of its heft friends,
it was not a difficult talk for them to persuade
the populace, that La Fayette, was no lon
ger their friend ; he had sworn to fopport the
Constitution, he was therefore attached to
monarchy and to the interest of the King, con
sequently an, enemy to the People ; ne nad
quitted his Army to repair to she National As
sembly, lid denounce the Jacobins, who were
the best friends of the People; he must there
fore be an enemy to liberty. It is the nature
of Mobs in general, and more particularly so of
a French Mob, to be prompt in their transi
tions, from adoration to execration. They
will murder in the. evening, the Man whom
they carried on their shoulders in triumph in
the morning —As a Mob never reasons or
reflects, the cry of Five La layette or a La Lan
terne depends on the slightest circumstance of
the moment which affeds their senses, while
their imaginations are heated : Had the Mar
quis been at Paris, their can be no doubt but
that the lamp post would have ignominiously
terminated his career, and the head of the
young Pupil of Washington, whose Bust
adorns the cabinets of bur belt Patriots, would
have been paraded bn a Pike, by a ferocious
rabble, to the disgrace of the present century:
There would not have been' wanting fufficient
ftimulous to so barbarous a deed; his Ene
mies, Brigsot, Condorcet, Petion,
Merlin and other Jacobins would hpve tak
en card to have supplied it : They would have
said, he takes the part of the King, and the
Mob would have responded, down with the
monarchist ; they would have added, he hates
the Jacobins, and the Mob would have shout
ed, down with the Aristocrat ; they would
have concluded, he adheres to the Constitu
tion, and the general cry would be, he is a
Traitor !a La Lakterne- He has however, es
caped from the jaws of this devouring monster,
and is either a miserable captive in the Ene
my's power, or wanders in poverty and dis
tress in a foreign Country, having seen his
best Friends and relations butchered by an
inhuman rabble, and left his Country, a prey
to discord and licentiousness, and the most re
fpe&able and virtuous part of his fellow Citi
zens, under the defpbtick tyranny of an up
start set of men, who feel no restraint from
honour, conference or religion, and who hav.
ing no property themselves, are iefolved to de.
ftroy that of others, by fixing on their devoted
Country, all the horrors ofanarchy, disorder,
and licentiousness.

[The General Court of this State convened
at Exeter on Wednesday the zift of Novem
ber— The President addressed both Hous
es as follows :]
Gentlemen of the Senate and Gentlemen of the House
of Representatives^
THE business that more immediately re
quires the attention of the Legislature, is the
arrangement of the Militia and making the
Laws of this State conformable to the Law of
the General Government for regulating the
Militia; the returns that I.have called for
agreeable to your diredions, have not as yet
been fully made, when eompleated Ilhall lay
them before you.
I beg leave to suggest for your consideration
whither it will not be proper at this session, to
make the necessary arrangements for introduc
ing into practice those alterations in our State
Constitution which have been made by the
late Convention arid adopted by the People.
Although the general rivifion of the Laws
of the State and the feyeral regulations that
have taken place, has rendered the situation of
our publick affairs more eligible than they
have been in years past, yet I conceive that in
your deliberations you wjllfind many regula
tions in the internal Police of the State, that
wbuld still further contribute to the advantage
arid prosperity of the people we represent.
Among the things that I apprehend would
tend to that important purpose, I beg leave to
inentton the opening and keeping in repair
convenient Roads and Bridges, so as to make 4
the transportation of Articles through the
State, and to the publick markets as conveni
ent and easy as possible.—This I conceive will
tend to promote industry in agriculture, trade
and manufactures, which joined with proper
(Economy is the only true and genuine source
of wealth and oppulence in any Country ; per
haps giving encouragement to the opening of
water communications by Canals in forte parts
ofthe State might more effectually facilitate
the transportation of many articles, especially,
those of the heavier and more bulky kind ; but
whether any thing of this kind will be feasible
and proper I submit so your determination.
Every regulation that will have a tendency
to diffufe knowledge and information, and to
^encourage virtue, morality and patridtifm
" e ? eo P' e > especially among the yoath
andtfing generation, cannot fail of being
abuirttepy ufeful and beneficial to the State,
as it is a maxim well established ''that no re
publick can be lasting and happy unrefirccom
pahied with knowledge and publick virtue in
the people at large."•
This being the season of the year when the
general and ordinary business of the State is
usually taken up and aded upon by the Legis
lature, I shall chearfully attend to any other
matters that you may think proper to be done
at this time ; and shall use my best endeavours
to forward the publick bufinrfs with as much
dispatch as is confident with that care and
caution which ought to be used in tranfa&ing
business of much importance.
-Mayit please far Excellency.
I HE Legislature of the State of Nevafo^
Jbire gratefully receive from your Excellency,
information of the publick business that flow
more immediately calls for their attention.
We are deeply impreffe'd with a sense of
the great necefiity of a proper arrangement of
the Militia, and making the Laws of the State
conformable to the Laws of the General Go
vernment ; and while we assure your Excel
lency that no application on our part fall be
wanting to accomplish this important object,
we cannot but express a wish that the necessary
returns may be compleated as soon as may be.
We esteem it highly essential that the necef
ffey arrangements for giving the Constitution
of the State, as altered arid amended by the late
Convention, its full force and effed, Should be
made this session, and to this we shall cheerful
ly give every attention : And though we \iew
with the highest fatisfadion the happy and
prosperous situation of our publick affairs, we
are yet deeply impressed with the necessity of
further regulations ofour internal police, both
to continue and ensure that felicity, which, by
the gracious smiles of heaven, we now enjoy.
The opening and repairing convenient
Roads, erecting Bridges and forming Canals
for the easy; fafcand expeditious transportation
of articles of trade and commerce, would,
while it tended to the encouragement of indus
try of every kind, at the fame time greatly pro
mote the interest and wealth of the citizens;
and to those interesting purposes we shall ever
be ready to afford every exertion in our
power.
We are fully sensible that ignorance is the
parent of Slavery, and that civil liberty can
Scarcely hold up her Head when this enemy to
human happiness is not removed out of its
fight.;
To promote - knowledge and information
among the citizens of the State, to encourage
morality and patriotism, to inspire the rising
generation with an attachment to, and know
ledge of every political and social virtue, and
with that knowledge necessary to ensure them,
cannot fail to animate us to every exertion on
our part to promote and facilitate those impor
tant objeds, while the trust reposed in us
would render negle& inexcusable. °
The general and ordinary business of the
State cannot faib of our care ; 'and whitewe
cooperate with ypur Excellency's generous
and patriotick labours for the publick good in
general, we (hall endeavour to use all the dis
patch that the importance of the objed will
permit, and (hall deem it one of the happiest
circumstances of our lives, to promote and in

"T
IT being (in my opinion) of some
consequence to the Citizens of Georgia
to know the disposition of the Creek
Indians towards them at this time, f
have therefore taken this mode of as
suring them, that, from the whole of
my late communications, and investi
gation of matters, I do not find any
disposition in the chiefs of the Creek
Nation to be unfriendly-to any part of
the United States. On the contrary, 1
have reason to think it the with of
nine tenths of that nation, to be in
ftrid friendship with us.
" Many and base have been the at
tempts of late to mislead those unfor
tunate people ; not withstanding which,
I will venture to assure the citizens of
this Country a continuance of peace,
and a friendly intercourse between them
and the Creek Nation, unless the rest
less, vicious disposition of some of the
white People among us should oblige
the Indians to adopt a different kind
of condu&.
crease the security, prosperity and bappinefs
of the State.
“ All attempts from any foreign
quarter to mislead them I confider of
little or no confluence ; much more
mifehief is to be dreaded from? the ill
disposed among ourselves. It there
fore becomes incumbent on every good
Man in this Country, as he values
peace, and the prosperity of Georgia,
to use every exertion to prevent any
outrage or injury being commit^d on
the Indians, or their property; Here
with 1 fend, for immediate publica
tion in your Gazette, three talks,
which I received a few days past from
chiefs who are well known to be of the
firft cohfequence in the Nation. lam'
in peffeffion of many other strong
proofs that* we stand well with the
southern tribes, but those I now fend
will serve to convey the withes of the
Creeks.

men your very humble servant,"
