He says it is not could not consent to publish it in our newspaper, to the honorable station of a Representative of the people, it probably becomes, me, al this pe we would not hesitate to print it, or any thing else that he might think proper to write under his own signature, in hand-bill form, for Aim to riod, to disclose to you, through the medium of this address, the views I take touching some of havoc among the fruit trees in this town, particularly the peach trees. I APPORTIONMENT OF REPRESENTATION.

It gives us more than ordinary pleasure to announce to our fellow-citizen1 throughout the Territory, that the Governor, being satisfied, from a comparison of the Returns of the Census for the present year, that there are upwards of 5000 white male inhabitants in this Territory, over the age of 21 years, has come to the determination (pursuant to the authority in him vested distribute to all who might feel ai interest in the controversy. That he did not accept our offer those subjects of general and particular concern, which, I anticipate, will occupy the serious deliberation of the next Legislature. In doing this, I am constrained to be as brief as possible. By the liberal policy of the last Congress, the is not our fault. Entertaining no hostile feel connected with his name.

Why not publish it then I do not know that the letter states ho this splendid fortune is to belong to when made. But is it not probable to those, who sent the letter, and caused it to be sent, and to tchom it was sent? The gentlemen appear, very scrupulous about publishing private affairs and yet, when I wrote to Col. Rector, and left the names of the private gentlemen blank, my letter came out in print, with those blanks filled up. I gave Mr. Henderson leave, it is true, to insert his own name in one of those blanks, and Colonel rope's in another, if it suited them.

But no ings toward Mr. Rorer, we shall not tantalize him by any farther reply but will only say to him, as Uncle Toby said to the fly Go," Uc. Counteifetl notes on ihe U. S. Biauch Bank' at Savannah, well excruu are in circulation in Georgia.
