UTefk’s-Ojfcc, Angijt 30. fpS" THE honorable the Superior Court , 0 f Columbia county has adjourned to the fuft day of December next ; all suiters, witnesses, jurors, and others concerned* will attend agreeably to such adjourn ment. . > Chrk. No. y. Fei.low-Cit SELF-RESPECT is as necessary to a flare as it is to an individual. The man who has no refpeft fotbJumfelf will not long be refpecled by others; and the Hate which ceases to refpcCt itlelf* will very soon be unworthy of refpett. It is rea son and the cultivation of our reason, which makes the only difference between us and the bealts and savages ; a date or a man is only refpedtabie in proportion as they appear to refpeCl themselves in these points. The pride of every Georgian thould ask himfelf how does Georgia re fpeft herfelf in those particulars ? Does not the conduct of Georgia ever since the revolution seem to fay that (he has very little refpedt for herfelf in those important articles ? That fhc profeffes to be able to form her youth in the fafhionable arts of dancing, horse-racing, gamcing, &c. but that as to reason, and the cultivation of reason, she finds it bell to leave that to the 01 her dates, that schools and colleges are better conduced in the other dates and that upon the whole it is bed for us to fend our'youth there for education. It is underttood that a fubfeription has lately been circulated in this date to purchase books and an apparatus, and to ercit more buildings for one of the northern O colleges, and that more than two thousand dollars were fubferibed in the town of Savannah alone for that purpose. Proba bly that money could not be devoted to a better use than for those articles; but should not the question be alked which Hate is mod fhamefuUy destitute of them, this date or the date to which that money has been sent ? There you can fcarely ride a mile but you are in fight of a large con venient dwelling houfc, two dories high, with ♦oar rooms on each floor, Irom fix tecn to twenty feet square; houses are vonftanily in your fight, each of which, ,n this date, would be thought large e i>ough fora college, and in almod every padih there is a public library of several hundred volumes of books iu addition to m any large private libraries. In this state there is not a single public collection °‘ books of any kind, and probably not private one, unless it is on law or phy “c * that would supply a course of reading and dudy of fix months. Our university, it is called, is totally without any nooks or apparatus. Thirty or forty of H nnt molt promising young men, who have out a few 'ears left for their education, now there with no better accommo ‘tion, than the fhadcs of trees for their fiutl;et, Jiivi no* u iuigic uuiiOLi''? to. tlveir use, but an old (hop of about {f<teen f ee t A CITIZEN.
