The Imitator of Washington.
The American Emperor is in a
fairway of throwing off his mask,
and appearing as“ the Mahomet” of
Impostors. He began with trick/he
will end in tyranny. 1-ike Ctesar,
he pretended to put away the crown;
and even when his schemes had ri
pened into success, he professed to
make Washington his model. But
the man, who aspires to work upon
sncli u model, must carry with him a
liberal and a lofty spirit—he must be
above the low frailties of vulgar am
bition—he must look forward to the
admiration of posterity, and not to
the empty honours of a day. He
must he the friend of liberty; and
consider his own happiness as indis
soluble from that of the people. A
thousand such usurpers as iturbide
may rise to curse the world—while
one Washington may bless it.
In what single trait of conduct has
Iturbide taken Washington for Ids
model ? in stooping to cheat the
people, while he aspired to a crown ?
Was it in surrounding himself with
all ihe splendors of a coronation, and
propping his throne, with the bigotry
of an established church ? Was
Washington his model, when he an- 1
pounced to his Congress and the
world that “ a moderate monarchy ,
was unquestionably the best form of
government ?”
Was Washington his model, when
he dared to propose a martial law
fur Mexico —to establish a special
'tribunal in all the chief towns, “ com
prised ’of two officers of the army
and one lawyer”—and to direct the 1
fin d appeal to he made to k< the tn .
hu iil of war”} Before this dread >
tribunal is to be hurried every man (
w!i i dares to breathe a syllable a- (
gainst this August Emperor.
Was Washington his model, when
ho proceeded to arrest twelve of the . 1
representatives of the people; a *
mong them some of the most tried '
/m I virtuous patriots of the nation ? 1
—ln what part of Washington’s life s
does he meet with such acts as these ? 1
The truth is, the elements of dis- 1
affection ire scattered around him—
and only want some vigorous hand t
to bring them to bear against him. 1
The measures he is taking ; the facts
which h i officially discloses in these r
papers, prove that u his bed,” like
that of the Mexican Gautimozin is t
not“ a bed of flowers.”—Dates are t
of some little account in reading the a
papers we now publish. The com- r
raunication of Herrera 10 the Con- A
gress is on the 4th of August. The t<
recommendation, of the special tri- si
bunal, by the royal council, is on the ei
2d. —Herb the chain of events is tl
broken, for on the 26th August we i
find Iturbide arresting the 12 depu
ties. 19 or 20 officers, besides seve
ral citizens—and the day after, we
have the Royal Proclamation as
signing the reasons of this arrest —
charging some with “ wishing to re
alize chimerical ideas of republican
ism,” and others with a desire “ to
place the sceptre in foreign hands.”
What events transpired in this inter
val ; whether the members of con
gress took fire at the idea of the spe
cial tribunal, and refused to yield to
the wishes of the usurper ; or what i
other act it was which inflamed him, 1
we must wait for other intelligence '
to inform us.
But had Iturbide been really dis- !
posed to make Washington his model,
to what a pitch of glory might he not
aspired. Bonaparte missed the gold
en opportunity,(as Re
viewers have lately shewn) when he (
sacrificed his country for a crown.—
Iturbide, without Bonaparte’s pow
-1 ers to grasp the sceptre, lias rivalled
him in ambition. He might have
* cherished the sparks of liberty in
Mexico, until he had blown them in
to a glorious flame. Ho would have
j disdained any miserable aggrandize
ment for himself, lie would have
| died for the independence for which
he had fought, sooner than sullied it
by invasion on the liberties of Mexi- j
co. He would have Sought to make '
his country enlightened, free and |
happy—to have brought up all the j
latent sources of her pr osperity—and
then he might with some pretensions |
have been declared the Imitator of
Washington !—[ Richmond Enq.

The Cotton -Market it will be seen

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 21,1822.
The demand for Cotton lias con
tinued brisk throughout the week,
and prices almost generally are l-8d
and in JMaranhams l-4d higher than
last week. Two public sales were
brought forward yesterday, which,
though not fully attended, went off
briskly at I-4d advance upon pre
vious rates.’
The accounts from the frontiers of
Spain are such sis to render it ex
tremely difficult to understand the
movements of the I roops of the Cortes
and of their opponents. The royal
ists are re|>resented as having huge
bodies of troops in all the mountain
ous provinces, and the Constitution
alists as having possession of all the
cities and towns. A private letter
Irom Madrid, dated the sth Sept,
says:—The new Extraordinary
Cortes, whose convocation has been
decreed, will assemble primarily on
the 24th inst. The topics which are
destined to occupy their attention
are not at present, known : but it is
perfectly understood that the grounds
upon which the Ministry have pro
posed the convocation of the Cortes
to the Council of State are—first, the
situation of the finances—secondly,
military arrangements —thirdly, the
diplomacy of Spain—fourthly, the
consideration of the interior of the
kingdom, and .the.institution of a Ci
vil Code, Those are the important
subjects on which it is believed that
the extraordinary Cortes will be oc
cupied.”
The affairs of the Greeks are in a
deplorable situation accounts from
Frankfort of the 10th ult. represent
the Turks as advancing hy an almost
unresisted march, and the Greeks ns
flying in every direction—ihe Greek
Senate had dissolved and taken to
flight. A letter from Trieste of (he
Ist Sept, says: “ The disasters of the
Greeks are confirmed. Their cause
appears to be lost; they fly on all
sides to escape slaughter. The let
ters from Corfu of August 9, contain
details which make one shudder.”
The Times of the 19th Sept, says,
yesterday most of the Foreign Am
bassadors and Ministers in town paid
visits of congratulation to Mr. Can

street, on his being appointed Secre
tary of State for the foreign Depart
ment. %
Great preparations arc making on
the continent for the congress at!

A private letter received at Nu
remhurg on the 11th Sept, says,
We learn, by advices from Vienna,
that the Supreme A ulic Council has |
transmitted to the War Department
an order to i’he effect, that all the
regiments of in fantry in the service of 1
Austria are forthwith to be made up 1
to their full compdiment. Thismea

The Editor of the Milton Gazette, I :
in his paper of the . d instant, indul-j
ges himself in a full column of re-1
marks under the head of The Army
Register; in which he-betrajs a
lurking hostility to the administration.
This is not the first indication we
have had of the principles of that pa
per. Ever since its resuscitation
from the ashes of the old, it has shown «
a bearing towards the Radicals, a 1
new party that is forming in Con- i
gross— a ‘set of men that are labour
| ing once again to bring among the
j people party dissentions, and all the (
, embittered feelings of faction. In all
’ governments, there are some mer
j whose souls sicken at the sunshine u
j peace; their delight is in trouble;
waters. On the score ot personal <
merit, such characters have no hope: I
of preferment; but as party men},
they come in for their chances. Toil
such spirits, how tiresome, flat, and I
' stale, must be the harmony and qui- I
etude that have thus far distinguished
the administration of Mr. Monroe.
How anxiously they wish to see tac
tion, with all its envenomed feeling,.
and prejudices, spreading throughout
the land. To accomplish this Chris
tian like end, various arts arc pursu
ed in different sections of thecountry. i
In some places, corruption is the
cry ; in others, extravagance ! ex-
I travagan.ee ! is reiterated with the
' dull monotony of the bird of night:

■ people believe that our state is en-
I tiroly neglected in the distribution of
all offices and appointments.

GRATITUDE'.
The numerous accounts we are
daily receiving of the afflictions of
our country in other parts, should
prompt us to look to the source ol j
ose afflictions, and by that mean as
. rtain whether we have not equally j
deserved to be the victims of divine l
•
■engeance.
Surely we have ; and nothing but
‘lie mercy of the Supreme Ruler of
he universe (which has been extend- 1
ed to us in an eminent degree,) could
have prevented that vengeance being
wreaked upon us in a degree appal
ling to the stoutest heart; and for;
this extensive mercy, what degree of
gratitude has been expressed ? grate
ful feelings, 1 hope, in every bosom;
hut some public testimonials should
be offered, and it is with our city ru- !
lers to say, whether a day of thanks
giving, humiliation and prayer should
not be set apart to render public gra
titude to the Supreme Judge, for his
goodness in withholding the rod of
chastisement. ■

REVIEW
OF SERMONS BY HENRY KOIXOCK, D. D.
When Alexander the Great was
distributing his princely donations a
mong his friends, and was pouring
forth his bounty with a lavish hand
upon all those who had rendered him
services, some one asked him what
he would leave for himself; and he
replied, 4< Hope.” His confidence
in the success of his enterprise was
so full and certain, that to him hope
was almost equivalent to actual pos
session, and he therefore proceeded
from conquest to conquest, greatly
aided, no doubt, by the positive be
lief tliat he should conquer. The
Christian hero, too, lives chiefly upon
the certainty c.f a future good which
hope discloses; and as is his confi
dence of final success, so will be his
efforts in the conflict. If he can be
hove, that he must, and will conquer,
he will meet his foe with that compo
sure of mind, and that calm resolu
tion of spirit, which in a severe con
test, is the almost certain pledge of
victory. We, therefore, have never
thought it detrimental, either to the
Christian’s vigilance or activity, to
believe It impossible for any power to
defeat his hopes, and blast his fe
licity. Fixed forever in Heaven, is l
the decree which insures Iris triumph
and confounds his enemies. This
assurance has been the doctrine of
the pious in ullages,'and whatever of,
holiness or virtue their lives have
contained, lias been blended with i
this sentiment, and formed upon thisi
confidence. And if the influence ofj
a doctrine upon the conduct, opini-j
uns anti judgment of men, ho tlie j
most certain criterion of its truth and i
excellence, then the doctrine of
“ once in grace, always in grace,”
must claim a high station among the
tenets of good men. It was the doc
trine of the reformation, has been
adopted into the creed of most of tlie
reformed churches, and is the obvious
dictate of Revelation itself. ft is,
therefore, bat a fair presumption, tliat
it its influence had been hurtful, the!
•nany churches in which it lias been
a favorite tenet, would have sunk un
der its pernicious effects, into licen
tiousness and turpitude. But has this
been the case, and if it have been,
shew us Where ? In the church of
England, which has been long re
garded as the boast and bulwark of
the Reformation ? In the church of
Scotland, whose zealous sons have
been among the most distinguished 1
advocates of the principle in ques
tion ? lu the American churches, the
luminaries ot which have given all
the weight of their talents, and the
authority of their names to the sup
port of this tenet ? In none of these
great sections of the Christian church,
will it he found that the doctrine which
we assert has drawn down upon its
advocates the effects imputed to it.
The sermons of Dr. Kollock are
full and satisfactory upon this head.
They do not often touch this subject
by direct allusion, but their frequent
and Copious exposition of the Chris
tian’s comforts and resources, are
founded upon the assertion of this
consolatory principle. We hard
ly know where we have ever
seen a finer passage than the follow
ing, on the perpetuity of the love of
God in the soul.
“ Fourth property of love to Christ: It is perma
-111 J s llot Hke those streams in the desert of
which Job speaks, which sometimes rushed for
ward in an impetuous torrent, and at others, were
entirely dried tip; it resembles rather a mightv
sn-enrn,steadily rolling its waves alone, mid grow
mp deeper end wider, till it empties ilselfin bea
ven, the ocean of love. What,indeed, should cause
tt to cease It is not wonderful that human attach
ments should be dissolved: we soon get to the
bottom ol a creature’s perfections, and enjoy all ,
hat is to lie enjoyed; but it is otherwise with the '
Redeemer. As we advance, glories rise upon glo- 1
lies; beauties after beauties develope themselves, ,
.ml throughout eternity, excellences before un- ‘
known will oe meeting our eyes and affording new i
aliment to the flame of lovo. No I love to Christ is
rot a dazzling meteor which endures for a moment, *
Old then leaves us in darkness; like ihe stm.it ,
..caddy pours lonh beams which enlighten and
a ana. It endures in every period of life; rt al
enoa n< to the tomb; and is unhurt hv the stroke
>< death.’ -eiser. CXJ.VII. ' (
■%
One of the most elevated, touching, I
and pathetic sermons in the collec
tion, is in the 4th vol. ser. cxliii. —
Throughout this discourse,the reader
will perceive the touches of a master.
We shall make some extracts:
«To comfort mankind under their crosses and
trials was one of the principle aims of the philoso-
I hers of antiquity. Lon* before ‘•this teacher sent
from God” appeared In India, the most vigorous
powers of mind and the most incessant application,
had been employed in prescribing means to aUaln
an unriistuibed tranquillity of soul. But all these
endeavors were fruitless; for grace, not nature ;
I Jerusalem, and not Athens, were appointed to teach
lus this heavenly art. The tear would still flow,
! an«i the heart be still wrung with anguish, whether
! we listened to the haughty stoic, who, contradict
i inff fact and the feelings of nature, asserted that
| there were no evils except in imagination, and that
! pain existed only in fancy; or to the epicurean, who
; tore aw«y every prop to the frailty ot our nature,
' when he attributed calamity to a senseless chance.
AH the sshools of antiquity, discordant and clashing
in every thing else, were united only in presenting
I unsubstantial comforts, which were 100 airy to sup
port those umlcrthe pressure of real grid, or else
1 in irretatlng instead of healing Uie wounds of the
soul. But when we tum from these ineffectual
i consolations of the brightest ornaments of Greece
ami Horae, to the Divine Instructor, ‘ w ho spake as
never man spake,’ what .different sentiments are
ex< Hed ! He proposes such grounds of peace and
tranquillity, as will hush every painful passion,
1 will compose fvery rising grief, will drive back
| every starting tear, or convert it into a tear of joy,
: and render us not patient merely, but triumphant
in affliction.’' P. 367.
The man who repairs to Christ
' for the mitigation of his sorrow, will
never sink under its most afflictive
pressure. He learns from this great
teacher, that the ills of this life are de
signed to prepare the way to the life
of glory; that trouble is only the
rough form which mercy often as
sumes; that the keenest edge of sor
row can only cut the cords which
hold him to earth ; that the greatest
darkness is only the covering of a
bliss which will appear brighter from
the previous gloom.

REMARKS
On a proposal fur the establishment
of a Medical College, in the state
of Georgia.
jMr Editor :
' The wealth of the south has fre
| queutly tempted enterprising adven
turers to settle amongst us, and our
irresolute timidity, or culpable care
lessness has deprived us of those ad
| vantages which we might have pos
-1 sessed. While we are indifferent to
' our own interests, strangers will pro
' fit by our negligence, and defeat our
most laudable purposes, if they are
I seconded in their views by our inter
nal disagreement. Scholars, always
have a prejudiced prediction for the
I I seminary in which they have studied;
and {lieir literary and professional
pride becomes alarmed at any at
tempt of rivalry between their “ ul
mamator”and any projected institu
tion. r l heir regard is rather infan
tile than rational, when it leads them
to maintain that knowledge is exclu
; sively confined to ancient establish
. ments. Those very schools, upon
, whichthey lavish such unbounded ap
: plause, would not have risen into exis
j tence, iftheirgrowth had been check
ed by the voiceof opposition. But it
J is fortunate for mankind that daring
■ innovators have sometimes appeared
amongst them, and their enlightened
and generous minds have fearlessly
.1 resisted the strength of prejudice.
The wisest regulations have general
jly met with violent hostility; and it
I was only by patient industry and pa
i triotic exertions, that they have been
! carried into effect. The plan for the
J establishment of a Medical College
I in Georgia, cannot expect the fate of
I many other beneficial institutions.
; It must sufl’er some discouragement
| from opposition ; but the contest will
; prove its worth to be as gold which
comes purified from the furnace.
The usual arguments advanced
against the erection of this profes
sional establishment rest on these
heads :—that the people are not ripe
for those improvements, and that the
proposals for the amelioration of our
lot are made rather early. Such al
■ legations cannot have any force iu
! this state, because they are ground
less. A people is well disposed for
the admission of scientific improve
ment when they possess wealth, and
intellectual hardihood; and both
these blessings abound in Georgia.
It has also been Objected, that the po
pulation of our citizens is two limit
ed, and the warmth of our climate is
too great for the conveniences of the
anatomical branch. To these ob
jections it may be answered, that re
peated observation and experience
have satisfactorily proven the non
existence of both these objections in
at least one city within the limits of
this state.
Ila Medical College were estab
lished in this state, the diseases of the
southern section of the union would
be better known and more easily re
medied and though this institution
might embrace the whole department
of Medicine and its collateral branch
es of science, still instruction pecu
liarly beneficial to the southern prac
titioner concerning the diseases most
incidental to the southern climate
must necessarily be imparted by a
southern school. Ever}' College ac
quires eminence in some branch of
science, and interest would prompt
us to study the removal of those dis
orders and inconveniences which
most frequently attend us.
If the Legislature would erect and
endow such an establishment, it
{ could not foil to contribute .
