Such are the ahufes which we have never ceaf
ed to attack, and which we are daily engaged
in destroying. Every day approaches us to the
period, when freed from the fetters which have
hitherto restrained our powers, we (hall at length
take among nations, the station that was alligned

will become the patrimony of all thofc who have
shared our deftiwy ; then, our profperiry will
extend to all those who lhall contrast with us.
i he National Allembly is unacquainted with the

wi(h that they were daily more merited and

at this moment a profound tranquility, a Uriel

THE TABLET. No. CXXXV.
" Knowledge is valuable in proportion as it affords
light in managing our pfaClical duties or employ
ments."
IT is to be regreted that men of ingenuity do
not turn more of" their attention to works of
utility. Many »f the performances that are of
fered to public view, thougli they may discover
some traces of genius in the writer, yield little
or no advantage to the reader. Subje«fis may
either be too abftrart to be underltood, or they
may be too uninterelting to be regarded. To
render a publication ufeful to any large number
of people, it fliould have a reference to points
which are to be carried into practice. It is of
vast importance that men should hnve a just way
of thinking relative to every objetfi, that in any
degree influences their conduct. I have made
tliefe o"bfervations merely to introduce a letter,
I am favored with, from a friend at Boston.—»•
My correspondent is one of those persons who is
liberal in encouraging all attempts to promote
literature ; and it is his greatcll wish to recom
mend such performances as are calculated to
make men better and happier, and to remove
popular errors or prejudices, which owe their ex
igence, more to the inattention than to the inca
pacity of mankind. His remarks on a late pub
lication areas follows.
" I have read with great pleasure and atten
tion, a volume of eflays lately offered to the
public by our mutual friend Mr. SV. IVebfter.
Though I have not leisure to enter into a re
view of that work, I am too much pleased with
the performance, to pass it over without a tew
comments. Mr. IVebJler has felefted such fubjetfts
for ciifculfion, as are not only capable of being
made obvious intelligible ; but such as are
important enough to deserve attention, and may
afford ufeful hints and to every class
of readers. I admire his remarks upon practical
politics : They areoften new, andfeldom failof
bei.Bg pertinent. He frequently ilhiftrates his
fuSjeifl by a judicious application of facts ; and
more generally deduces his principles by way of
inference, than sets out with a favorite system,
that requires a departure from reason and com
mon sense to support. In short he {eems more
solicitous to investigate truth, than to establish
specious hypotheses. There is a force and sim
plicity in his stile, that renders it peculiarly a
dapted to political difcufiion. Though he always
thinks boldly, and speaks freely, his observations
are never 1 >ofe and unconnected, and his lan
guage is remarkably chaste, expreflive and unas
«ec(ed. His composition in point of vijror and
classical propiiety cannot well be exceeded."
Thus my correfpondfent ipeaksof Mr. Wdfler'%
publication. Icould wifli some person would fur
nifh a complete review of the work, as I am per
suaded it will be approved in proportion as it is
brought to the test of criticism.

THE following is a copy of a letter from His
Excellency the Governor of the State of Georgia,
to Alexander M'Giliivray, Esq. chief of the Creek
Nation, with Mr. M'Giliivray's answer thereto.
State- Hoafe, AttgujL., Jan, 8, 179'..
SIR,
THE favorable reprefeutations I liave had of
your disposition to fupprei's violence and
restore peace and confidence between the people
ofGeorgia, and the Creek Indians, have induced
me to open a correspondence with you, not with
a deiign to enter into the merit or demerit of
pad tranfatftionsi farther than the restoration of
property belonging to the people of this State—
something of this nature I trull will be agreed
to, and complied with, as far as the nature of the
cafe will by any means admit—and also that every .
lpecies of future depredation be withheld. If a
condutffc of this nature, and more particularly a
ftritft observance of peace and good order in fu
ture, be fully ratified and duly observed, it will
give the government of this State an operation to
put in pra<flice the wish and desire of the greav
body of the people thereof, I mean a return of
mutual confidence.
Froui our situation as neighbors we ought to
be rendering mutual services to each other; your
traders and meflengers, would have free egress
and ingress, and security would be th* lot of all.
Humanity will readily dictate the propriety
of liberating and fending forward the citizens
and other persons belonging to this State now in
the Creek nation.
I trust that your good undeiftanding will rea
dily suggest the necellity of my being enabled to
give afl'urances to the frontier settlers of a full
security of person and property —this too being
guaranteed ill the name of the nation, will de
termine me in making such arrangements, as well
as reprefentatiensto the President of the Unired
States as may have ate: lency to prevent the fu
ture of human blood.
I am, Sir, your 1110 ft humble servant,
EDWARD TELFAIR.
A '-zander M'Gillivray, Esq. ?

Little Tallassee, March 30, 179 c,
SIR,
I RECEIVED your letter of tlie Bth January
last, by Afli ; he being unable to return on
account of the extraordinary floods, I fend this
to general Pickens to forward.
In answer to your's I have to observe, that,
as a peace was not concluded on between us at
the Rock Landing meeting, your demand for
property taken by our warriors from off the de
puted lands, cannot be admitted. Wc also have
had our loflesby captures made by your people.
We are willing to conclude a peace with you,
but you must not expedl extraordinary concefli
ons from us. In order to spare the further effulion
of human blood, and to "finally determine the
war, I am willing to concede in some meafnre,if
you are disposed to treat on tke ground of mutu
al conceflion.
It will save trouble and expence if the nego
ciations are managed in the nation. Any per
son from yon can be afliired of personal fafety
and friendly treatment in this country.
I am, Sir, ycrur most obedient fervanr,
ALEX. M'GILLIVRAY.
His Excellency Edward Telfair, Esq. ,
BOSTON, JULY 21.
Lad week at Pownalborough, in the County of
Lincoln, before the Supreme judicial Court,
came on the trial of Samuel Hadiock, of Mount-
Desert, for the murder of Eliab Littlefield
Gott, a young man of about 22 years of age ;
and after atrial, which laftedthe whole day, the
Jury returned their Verdi<ft, that the prisoner
was Guilty.—ln the course of the trial, it appear
ed that Hadiock previous to his committing the
horrid murder, had worked himfelf up into a vi
olent pallion with his neighbours, on account, as
he said, of their propagating some ftorics to hi*
disadvantage ; the firtt effetfi of which discovered
itfelf at the house of one Manchejler, where, after
some abusive language he seized Mrs. Manchejler
by the hair of her head, pulled her out ofdoors,
and threw her on the ground several times, in a
great rage—he then left the house, andinafliort
time after called to the deceased, who at thi.
time was parting by, in a boat, and requested to
be set across the river in lire boat. With this
friendly design Gott went on shore, Hadiock in
quired where he was going with his boat I Gott
answered, to an island after sand. Hadiock tolci
him he had no right there, as he himfelf had a
lease of the island. Gott replied that he did not
know it. Upon this, Hadiock fattened the boat
and plunged Gott three times under the water,
holding him down some time—he then with a
large club drove the young man and a boy that
was with him up to Manchep»r , % house, where he
found one Richardjon, who had been called to the
aid of this riiftrefled family—he immediately sei
zed Richard/on by the collar, thrust him out 01
doors with g'"eat violence, who taking advantage
ofa fence, jumped over, pulled Hadiock agauif*.
