introduction.
Well, Mr. Kd. I prithee how d’ye;
I’ve lost arriv'd in health d'ye see,
From a tour of mirth and jollity.
So now your renders may expect
That I shall -write, and ne’er reflect
Whether sense, or mere frivolity.
Howe’er for sense, there’s little of’l;
In heads like mine— they’re deseed soft;—
T titank my stars X was’nt born a wit.
Tims much good sir, I just tell you,
For which the maxim you’ll construe,
Id at, “ Ex nihiln, nihil fit.”*
Therefore your readers can’t suppose
That I’ll write sense, in verseorprose,
Or dabble i’thc abstruse science*.
0 no ! I’d ns lief like R il
Grow mad, and blow up a bustle
’Bout European alliances.
Or like some upper ancient J s,
Fan up the flame of former grudges,
Thro’ r eal to shew a deal of learning,
Who striving to prevent defection,
Decide in time to aid the election,
To stop their partlians from turning.
Beside, the folk who look for news,
Cannot expect It—ttdre vohi.
From many of uur public papers,
The Ed’s most wisely parcel ’I out
I’ the small, in fear ’twoulcl make a rout)
And give their partizans the vapors.
So ’tis said the Greek Lycurgus
(Who was no pettifogging bnrgcsr.j
Distributed both lands and money,
Making folk rich, in their despite,
With currency less pure and light
Than gold;—some folks say ’twas iron-y.
Hut this, sir, only is intended
For an introduction p—l’ve penn’d it,
Merely for -uch. and you’ll so hint il
And should I find that folly’s creed is
Relish’d by your numerms renders,
I’U furnish you as long’s you’ll print if.

THE GREEKS.
It is not passible to imagine a no
bler cause than the Greeks are now
engaged in. When we consider the
pa-1 sufferings of this people, their
pn sent sufferings, and dangers., and
the cruel outrages that are daily com
mitted against them, we cannot but
sincerely deplore their present situa
tion. To Americans, .indeed, they
seem in a peculiar manner the objects
of attention and sympathy. We
cannot read the History of our own
revolution, and compare it with the
accounts daily received from Greece,
without being forcibly reminded how
much their .present situation resem
bles what our own was forty years
ago. They are now emulating the
noble examples the Americans then
set them and forwarding the great
* work the Americans then began.
The spectacle now opening before
the world is truly grand. For up
wards of four thousand years have
the nations of the earth groaned un
der the yoke of a degrading slavery ;
or when they have been most favor
ed, have enjoyed but a partial and
ill-regulated freedom. During that
time empires have been born, have
flourished, and have again become
extinct. The same rude forms of
government have still prevailed, and
handed down from age, and fortified
by the prejudices of an ignorant and
barbarous age, and by long habits of
implicit submission, have held man
kind in a willing and degrading bon
dage.
Out a new era has arisen. Ignor
ance (so naturally the ally of tyran
ny > is fast yielding to the empire of
reason. The faded forms of anti
quated despotism shrink from the
|)ure light of a liberal philosophy.
That nation which had so long been
the sport of slaves, which had pass
ed as a by-word for every thing de
graded and contemptible, now leads
the way in the glorious career of free
dom. It is really an inspiring sight,
and promises well for the future "de
stinies of mankind, theis to behold a
Diitwn, so long oppressed, and which
seemed to’liave lost even the sense of' i
freedom, rising again, from her ashes, 1
and setting an example to the world I
of constancy, fortitude, persever- i
iince, and exalted courage, which i
would have done honor to the most 1
brilliant era of Grecian heroism.
It is not a little painful to reflect
that the fate of this noble people is
still uncertain. Their short day of
freedom may be quenched in blood.
The rays of promise which have
broken so suddenly through the
gloom of despotism may pass away
like the quick lightning ; and a night
of slavery, darker and bloodier than
ever, may succeed this momentary
gleam. At a moment like this, it is
. much and deeply to be regretted that
astern and necessary policy should
. be at variance with those generous
impulses which all ol us must feel.
. The law of self preservation, which
s is tolerated among individuals, is en
. joined to nations; and it becomes
' but too frequently necessary, in the
- course of human events, to postpone
justice in particular cases, to a sense
. of general expediency. An unpro
voked interference in the domestic
: concerns of a nation must always be
■ dangerous, as an encroachment upon
1 the landmarks of international law.
r Yet, if it were possible to imagine a
case where such an interference might
5 be deemed justifiable, I know none
which has so good a claim to be
thought so as that of -the Greeks.
The cruel war of extermination,
which for so many months has been
waged against them with so unrelent
ing and sanguinary a spirit, and w ith
so utter a contempt of all the laws of
civilized warfare, has placed their en
emies without the pale at once of hu
manity and of those rules which go
vern the intercourse of nations. Nor
should the merit of the sufferers, bo
forgotten, or the obligations we owe
their ancestors. It was they who,
three thousand years ago, at Ther
mopyhe and Salamis. in a struggle'
no less generous than the present one,
vindicated their liberty against a
host of Asiatic barbarians : and who,
at ;i maturer period, and after the vi
vifying effects of their liberty, thus
nobly preserved, began to be felt, pro
duced those imperishable monuments
of art, of science and of literature,
which have been the admiration of
all succeeding generations. Let A
merica—let England—let Europe,
think of this.

At a meeting of the Stockholders
on the 3d inst. a report was made on
the condition of the Rank, agreeably
to a resolution of the Stockholders at
a meeting held on the 2d September.
—The committee refer to the lumin
ous exposition of the President, ap
pended to the report, which is too
long for us to copy. The committee
state that the “ suspended debts" of
the bank amount to $lO,■418,306;
and that the loss to the bank upon
this debt, together with over drafts,
counterfeit checks, and from all o
ther sources cannot exceed $3,743,-
899, A fund, it is stated, more
than sufficient to cover this loss, has
been derived from previous profits of
the Bank, and set apart for that pur
pose, besides a surplus of 971,425,
from a balance which stood to the
credit of Profit and Loss account, on
the Ist of July last and from interest
accrued.—The Committee then go
on to say,

Georgia, oct. 15th, 1822.
Si ft; —The present aspect of poli
tics in Georgia, presents, in a strong
point of view, the necessity, of com
mencing the work of refoimation in
, our State, in every possible depart
ment, as soon as possible. Should
the late outrage upon the constitution
and powers of the General Assembly,
manifested in the forcible removal of
Col. Hammond from office, be; deem
ed matter of sufficient consequence to
induce proceedings, the end of which
would, be an expression of Lceisla
live opinion upon that subject (whe
ther hy impeachment or otherwise,)
it will he a matter of great conse
quence that there should be a change
in the late presiding officers of the
two Houses. Should impeachment
he the mode adopted, (and I know of
no case under the Constitution which
can call more imperiously for that
measure) there would he great pro
priety in placing in the chair of the
Senate, such a legal character as
Judge Berrien. If this cannot be
effected, because it may be feared he
has not sufficient acquaintance among
the members to insure his election, 1
would respectfully recommend the
election of Thomas Stocks or Peter
Crawford, Esqrs. according as the
success of either of those gentlemen
might appear most probable.
In the House of Representatives,
the change is more strongly recoin
mended, than in the Senate, There
proceedings of any kind will, in all
human probability, be commenced—
and it is matter ofapparoat propriety,
that tlie Speaker should be such a
character, and entertaining such poli
tical opinions, as might ensure the
appointment of a committee who
would lie industrious, intelligent,
independent, and honorable in in
stituting and pursuing the inves
tigation.—The only person at this 1
time, presents himself to my mind is, 1
Gen. Allen Daniel, of Madison coun-j
ty. As an old member of the Legis-j
lattice, he stands strongly recom-j
mended by many other considera-l
lions, such,as his perfect knowledge!
ot Parliamentary rules, his general
dignified conduct in the House, his I
uniform independence of character,
and regard for decorum—and his re
publican principles and attachments
to the principles of the constitution.
I lie writer ot this letter would have
bad it published, but that he fears its
publication might defeat the object in
view. From the manner in which it
is conveyed to you, it will at once
strike you, that he wishes it tobc con
sidered as confidential. —and here-,
spertfully requests that it may be!
confined to your knowledge, until the |
meeting of the Legislature, Then'
you are relieved from further silence 1
on the subject.
Should your opinions coincide with
mine, the necessity of an early atten
dance at the seat of government will
be obvious. SOCRRTES.
TO THE PEOPLE OF GF.OUCf \.
nu are most earnestly requested
to give,to the above your serious con
sideration. It carries with it the most
damning proof of the corrupt source 1
whence it sprang, and must arouse, <
the indignation of every honest man, | (
no matter whencehe came, or to what, i
party attached. If this lie the result f
of the midnight conferences at Co- 1
kimbia, well has that Giant at in-! I

Do these men so often meet from i (
sympathy irresistsble ? or exists there 11
a congeniality in their prmchiles (
or a reciprocity in crime, which rea
ders frequent association indispensiblc
to mutual safety ? Be this as it may,
I would respectfully ask it it be not a
duty which you owe to yourselves to
resist the foul attempt to dictate to
your representatives, by demanding
through them the real name ot that

and morality, dare approach those to

REMARKS
On a proposal for the establishment
of a MEDICAL. COLLEGE, ill the
State of Georgia.
.MR. EDITOR,
Many appear willing to confine
the triumphs of genius, and the pro
gress of science to tin I ' temperate re
gions. of the earth, and to imagine
that the mind is governed by die same
power which brings fruits and dow
ers to perfection. They suppose
that the intellectual energies become
torpid amid polar frosts, or evaporate
under the fervor of equinoctial heats;
that the country which gives greatest
vigor to the body is best adapted to
mental acquisitions, and that we can
not expect to find irradiations of
knowledge in the unfavored climates
of die world. These deceitful specu
lations have often passed across the
fancy of the visionary philospher, and
like delightful dreams, have contri
buted to beguile the tediousness of
the journey of life. But success has
long since fixed our attention upon
exertions of intellect, on the rocks of
Norway and the sands of Angola.—
We observe human industry subdu
ing those obstacles which have been
opposed by nature, and the hardships
incident to humanity removed by ob
stinate perseverance. Deserts have
been fertilized by art—mountains
have sunk before the operations of
human labor, and with such exhile
rating examples of victorious dili
gence, we cannot despair of behold
ing a Medical College rise in the
woods of Georgia.
We have riches, talent and popu
lation ; a spirit of enterprise, and a
love of glory. With these advan
tages our hopes must be sanguine;
and our aspirations after literary ex
cellence must make the laurels trem
ble on those brovVs which have been
accustomed to such distinguished or
naments.
Nature has placed no prohibition
against the attainment of medical
learning in this State. Public money
should he expended on institutions of
public utility, and the Legislators of
the land cannot he more generously
engaged, than in bestowing a portion
of the wealth of the treasury for the
establishment of a seminary, hy which
the diseases of our bodies may lie re
lieved or eradicated.
This would prevent the external
expenditure of that money of which
the circulation would be more profit
able to the community in which it
had been accumulated. We lose a
great deal by the annual emigration
of our citizens in search of professi
onal knowledge, and the inconveni
ences of this loss would be remedied
hy prudential economy—hy the bene
volence of the Legislature.
The guardians of the State ought
to look to its welfare, and allow no
opportunity of improvement to pass
unregarded. No patriot could wil
lingly restrict us to our present pro
gress in civilization ; wo can be more
! refined and enlighted, and every lover
of his country must tool a supreme
satisfaction in its advance to perfec
tion. The Southern constitution suf
fers much from the severities of a
Northern winter—it necessarily en
dures many disagreeable shocks, and
not (infrequently returns home almost
unfitted to dwell in the spot of its
nativity.
If we always yield to the authority
of prejudiced opinion, we will re
main stationary. It was only by si
lencing the irrational calumnies of
many, that our independence was ef
fected. The project for the estab
lishment of a Medical College in the
State of Georgia, may possibly meet
with opposition ; but a serious and
solemn exam : nation of its merits
should patronize its erection.
LECTOR.
The following is an extract of a letter,
received hy one of our friends, from
an acquaintance in the country, dur
ing the last summer, and for some of
the oddities displayed hy the wriler,
wo have requested it for publication.
I was last week at the new, and I
celebrated, city of- , the grand so- j
cus of tlie local concerns of the coun- 1
ty of . ihe distance from here
is about 45 miles. J drove up in the
gig over as rough a road, as the most
hypocondrioal■devil could wish, and
had many “ hair breadtli ’scapes, not!
by “ flood or fields,” but by a curs’d j
ricketty, narrow, stumpy, up and i
down-bill it.ad. In the first place j
my horse was near running away, be- 1
lug scared by a large brandy hogs-1
head hoop, getting fast to one of the
wheels, and making its revolutions
with the same velocity, came round
“ snake-poling” the horse, at every
turn, and of course the faster he went,
the more ho was polled. Now, al
though I may, some time or other
. come to an end, by a hoop , or loop,
i —yet ’twould be pity so great a small
» man as myself should be hook’d out
• «of the world in any such manner, —
i and that too in such an obscure place
11 —with nobody by, to tell the world
flinan obituary, with what patience
and Christian resignation, 1 bit the
clay. Travelling onward some few
miles further, Jupiter met me, in a
1 tremendous passion, with both hands
aim’d by thunderbolts, the which, he
f was flirting about in every direction,
' | pay in:: no respect to trees or persons,
i ihe old fellow sent fortli one of the
! loudest claps, just over my head,
> I that 1 ever lr ard, and which had a
■ 1 second timt like to have clapp’d, the
. j seal upon my destiny. I assure yon
; ! never was as much frightened in
• I my life, and the horse, being more so,
. commenced pitch'mgand floundering,
: notwithstanding which, I kept my
: seat and held sturdily on to the lines,
: unt'd he became pacified ; and it was
: only then I discovered that had been
so much alarmed j i perhaps, howe
i ver, the glare oflighfnhig might have
. affected me,) my nerves were not in a
f tremor, bnt I felt that my cheeks
i were blanch’d, if indeed they ever
. could boast a color, and my heart
. palpitated not violently, but alann
-1 ingly and painfully.
There is no honor to be gained in
f braving the Thunderer; and I think
, had that renowned hero, and fonni
( dable Greek Achilles, been in such a
f storm lie would, at least, have felt,
. his danger, notwithstanding, Ins sup
. posed invincibility ; —by the bye, I
, have just thought of the derivation of
; his name, it was “ currently re
. ported and generally believed” that
. he held a “ charmed life,” he escap’d
j so generally, and his wounds, if he
' got any, heal’d so fast ; —beside it
. was not at first known that even a
. wound in his heel would not heal.
. Now all these things, combined with
> his soldier like appearance, had such
an effect upon the poor deluded Tro
gans; that whenever any of them
, met him, they at once prostrated
. themselves and exclaim’d Ah ! Kill
■ us!! Thinking it better to sue*
. cumb at once, than to hold a useless!
. contest with a man who ir Id their!
, fates in his breeches, as they tell us ;
. in the travesty of Homer ; —Tho’i
’tis a melancholy fact that those fel
, lows made many breaches in poor
| Horner. !
r “ liut, to my story ; towards e- 1
p vening. in the midst of a heavy show-1
p er of rain, 1 arrived at a house of en- ■
r tertainment ; —The lady dowager of
! the place, was mother, to one of our j
. reprc.» ntatives in the councils of the
i state; so, as they were country qual
, ity, I calculated to deport myself ac
cordingly. Travelling in what is
1 termed style in this part of the coun
i try, and looking tolerably decent;
. ( as dress you know in these days, is
more likely to display the gentlemen
than address,) I was immediately
ushered into the best parlour ; which
by the bye, answered all purposes—
. dressing-room—dining-room—draw
ing-room—kitchen, and bed-chaim
, her. I found that the washing-house,
which to me is often a pest, was here
not necessary, the elements doing
that duty to the hearts’ content of the
inmates, {'here were five or six strap -,
ping fellows, in this aforesaid parlor,
amusing themselves by quaffing new
brandy, from a quart pot —about a j
dozen of different species of melons
spread over the floor in halves and
quarters, of which, each having his
patent spring-back Spanish knife in
Jiand, they were partaking as the
best means to qualf the alcahol
thinking I suppose, that it was
absurd to be filling themselves with
large draughts of water for the
sake of a little brandy. A tolerable
pretty wench was standing drying—
her petticoats, before a roaring fire.
It still rained very hard, and the folk
when 1 entered, where in serious de
bate; die subject, whether the afore
said maiden should tarry all night, or
proceed to her home, with her bro
ther thro’ the storm. The brother
(casting a suspicious glance at the
assembly) refused to slay; and the
maiden could nt think of staying
without him, notwithstanding the
good landlady assured her at least
fifty times, that she would be ns safe
with her , as she would with her
mammy.

Yesterday was the first day’s run
ning, and a very pleasant day it was.
At an early hour the passage to die
Williamsburg!) Ferry was blocked up
witli coaches, gigs, waggons, horses,
and other vehicles; thousands of per
sons walked to the course, about se
ven miles, over a fine turnpike, dhc
members of the Club had erected a
neat building, having a piazza in front
which held nearly 300 ladies and
gentlemen. The Course was crowd
ed, and about one o’clock the drum
i beat and the horses were brouglT up,
( Eclipse and Sir Walter, and two o
ther horses started—the heat was run
