Not wishing avail myself Of book to advertise my
improvement in, feeling the necessity asking his
assistance aid in bringing it before the public, did not

On reference to that advertisement It plain did not
offer State County rights and advertised cotton
planters exclusively.
Although his articles intended to be severe, shall
dismiss him as 4he Philosopher did little DiamOnd-nOt
even tell him, get out-bu the Philosophers
to repair this mischief even little dog could DO, request
you will be good enough to publish this and the enclosed
article hastily the editors the Georgia Journal
So far as lam concerned the influence Of Mr. stsadman,
or all traitors planters interest could exercise
would He could only injure cotton plan
By their postponement of the adoption Of The I'm

It might Porhaps be well enough for suggest 70
the awloving population Ct Tennessee and the South,
that there is clause l. Section g. and paragraph
9Th Of the Constitution Of the United statss which says
Congress shah have power promote the progress Of
