SAVANNAH, Dec. 14.
Ext'-aSI of a letter from Angujla, Dec. 4.
“ The legislature have allowed
all negroes! free or slaves, to come
this state from the Weft Indies,
or any place elsewhere, under certain
reftrictiqns on the free ones :—The
reftriftions on the free negroes are,
that they {ball, after thirty days refi-.
dence in the state, have their names,
places of abode, and occupations, re
corded in the cieik’s office; Ibould
they neglect so to do, they lhall be
confined for any time not exceeding
three-months, or until they can give
t .vo freeholders security for their good
behaviour in future.”
Extra ft r fa leit r from Angujla, Dec 11.
Oa Saturday we received the
joyous confirmed accounts of the ge
neral defeat of the several divisions of
combined despots against the only real
republicans in the world. On this
continent we have been taught to be
-1 eve, that our conftirution breathes
more than freedom itfelf, but when I
compare it with that of the French, I
find we are shackled with nearly as
imhli ariltocracy as when under the
f!a villi chains of British tyranny. —To-
morrow we are to have an ox killed
and barbecued on the common :—the
governor gives powder to tire a f ti
de joye ; no person is to be at it, but
thole who are real friends to the re
public of France—nor dare a fellow
who has been hardy enough to pol
lute the name of freedom, or abuse
its came, approach the sacred ground.
A notification to that effect will be
handed round, although there are not
more than twenty such above the line

Mr. CAREY,
Sir, you will pleafeinfert in your pa
per, the Planter, No. Ill—lt was
handed ‘forward for publication se
veral weeks part, but a demand that
was thought improper for the for
mer numbers of that paper, ob
n,-....... ■ pu ..lieatj l. l p; —-11le lea
nt res of liberality which mark the
firft production of your press, in
duces the author to hand it to the
public through the medium of The
Georgia Journal.
ToIIENR Y WOOD, efq . nova fktriff
of Liberty County.
There is, fir, in the moral as well
as the natural state of man a point of
.depravity, that no remedy can reach,
or admonition amend ; a mind that is
once loft to the flings of reproach, the
tits of confidence, and the pleasures
ariling from fclf approbation, in the
pradice of honesty, can only be check
ed in iiis milchievous pursuits, by the
lenience of the judge, or the h ind of
the executioner.— Fo this ultimate
reward, of such daring delinquency,
it was my intention to leave you ;
but your boasted merit, proved by a
majority, requires a comment : hail
your crimes been cf milder hue, you
had been fuffered quietly to fink into
oblcurity ; in the prelent case the
public mind required a facrifice—and
it seems, fir, they wilh you led to the
altar, with all your appointments a
bour yen.
You twicecharge the Planter with
Ifalfhood ; at firft you beg a fufpenlion
ot the public opinion, until you can
[bring for ward authenticated document*.
Ito prove his allegations falfe : a week
[elapfes, and you fur-prife your friends
I with an acknowledgment, nay a proof,
jot the truth of his affections.—T he
IPhoter’s second publication, has in
Iciiyrge against you, a variety of mat
|te:-; you reply, generally, it is falfe :
[this is ever the last resource of deiecled
Ip'iilt— from Cain to the present fiieriff
oi Liberty County, the plea cf not
guilty, ha. been in uniform use with
even the moll atrocious offenders
*—the jut jut an Aw, doctor, is certainly
Ge Lit, and ought to be the moft fa*
crcd, test of a man’s finrcn.ty You
are charged witii having, more than
once, fingered fees, from which this
Solemnity, it was thought, would
exclude you.—And tlie pitiful half
poundage, on a paltry .hundred, ex
acted of mr. Winn, fixes your price
below what is current among the tribe
of profeflionals, lo ufeful to unfortu
nate adventurers on Blackheath—the
Planter has your hand-writing for
moft, it not all, the charges exhibited
against you : Accusations thus ground
ed, will, at the next superior court,
present themselves for debate ; and
there are lome, who are judges, that
believe, the reasoning will be so
pointedly addressed to your'feelings,
as to fender an irreparable injury to
the foundation on which rests the or
gans of your hearing—nay, fir, there
are those, who albert the fiftulous
hand of the executioner, will so taint
them, that the pencil of an Apelles, or
the ehifel of a Buonaroti, would more
effectually remedy the evil, than all
the applications of the materia inedica.
—With no hope of your amendment,
or the moft distant belief that any rea
foiling can arrest your progress in the
purluit of iniquity, but as a matter of
curious enquiry, on which yon owe
the public lomc informat on—l would
alk, is it nature, or is it education,
doctor, that has thus led you, wi’diy
devious, from all that is estimable ic
man ?
If the firft, sure the puriftum fallens
of (uch a mind, timely brought on the
tapis of investigation, mult have
thrown anew light on the fubiect of
anatomical research ; and when I so
limit the wtlh, that to this you had
been applieJ, with no other lois to
society, than the chasm that wou’d
be created by your absence, I doubt
not its being echoed by every honest
mind, that you had been the caule of
foine hypothetical error, even in that
moft ufeful Lienee, rather than in the
full-grown fiieriff, you lltouid continue
to martyr the estates of your fellow
citizens—but perhaps it is education
-if f >,* wc learn how necefiiiry it .s,
to impress on the opening mind every
virtuous, every amiable habit, left the
man we are rearinc with fondeft ex
pecbitiotis of his use to society, fliould.
like you, blaze out a monitor ; be
bound by no ties, be governed by 110
principles, be, in short, fir, a walking
satire upon his progenitors, sin active
curie upon his neighbours.
I lhall now take my leave of you,
and close for ever a correspondence,
pain'ul from the eternal reprelenta
tion of man in his worst colouring;
•wirh no gleam of virtue to lighten
the defcriptiorl, or iutermiffion of
guilr, lufforing humanity to relent—
and afford you a ray of pity, that you
are a.lied to her in species.
