In our next paper will appear the communication of ■ ••Jurist,” on the decision of the Supreme Court of the ■ United Sot.-*, in the case of the Miesionanea. The Bra ider will immediately perceive that the hand of a mi lter produced it, and that it is from a man familiar with Rhhe 1 w of nations, with the federal constitution and the ■ laws emanating from it, and with every thing pertaining Sto the rights of the -Suite, and to the powers they re ■ twined when they confederated. \ . EDIFICATION. * A communication ban been received from an esteemed and valued Inend, %uio?c talents, love of Georgia, and o! I the Union, place liiui among the first rn n in our country. He, however, advocates Nullification; and yet we said he loved the Union; and so it is : how ran this be recon ciled—he will inform us humelf. Owing to the cotmnu. ideation ol "Jurist” having to appear first, we will defer 1 1 the next paper the jiubii .utiou ol the essay oi our iriend • *• Georgia,” on Nullification. INDIAN WAR. The lute.t intelligence respecting the war now wag ju; on our northwestern frontier, will be found in our Columns. Fis indeed to he hoped, that the government w ill soon bring tiioou disturbances and massacres to an end. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. A late arrival in New. York, brings London dates a few hours I iter than by the Britannia. It would appear that Lord Grey had been recalled to the Prune Ministry, mid that the Duke of Wellington had been unable to form an administration. It was expected that tiic reform bill would pass thi Lords with some slight modification. CHOLERA. We publish in tbit day’s paper, a eve ml interesting ar ticles on that dread ul disease, tiie Ciioiora. Flic re* [ perl has been eo: . iic e that it re ched New. York. On the loth re-t o.t. (says the Ci.arß-ton Courier,) off [ the cape*u V.rg.ru i, Cpt Hiker, of the brig Langdon Chevcs, spoke one of the ii liimore pilot boats, who in f rrned h.:n ih l bra; then ins.gist, from Rotterdam, as he under j kI, b and u>r B iltimore, hud on board a numbero; p'sieiigeresick with the Cholera, and that several had already died on the passage of that disease. SPIRIT OF NULLIFICATION. On the 2d instant, a festival was given by the citizens of Lawrena District, in honour of Nullification. The following were the 7th and Sth regular toasts drank:— 7. John Caldwell Calhoun. Like Cato, firm ; like Aristides,just; and like Themisiocles, great. An Ostracism to rtjo’cn.'r the wrath of General Jackson, and to elevate Martin Van Buren, seeks to ban.sh him from tire affections of the people. But Bouth-Carolina, true to herself, glories in his services, and is proud of his eleva tion ; and will, like the faithful Magnceians, raise a monument to his name. 9 cheers; 3 guns. 8. The Senate of the United States. —Like the Areopagus of old, innocence may approach it without apprehension,and theconvietedshouM retire without a murmur. Whilst it tempers the acts of its co-ordinate branch, it chocks the in discretions —the imbecilities and corruption that vsjy delude the Executive. THE HAtTIMORE CONVENTION. We have always been the advocates of regular no mi'i itions, ns one of the most efficient rule of party dis cipline ; They tend to the concentration of the votes of a party : They appeal powerfully to some of the best feelings of our nature—patriotism and disinterestedness. They present to our view, in bright perspective, the ac complishment of our political hopes, and the gratifica tion of complete triumph over our opponents. Regular nominations have the salutary effect of inducing a re linquishment of claims and partialities, when the good oi the party requires it, and, frequently, of reconciling J.’.e clashing interests of men possessing the pnbhc con fidence. Resides, regular nominations do not infringe mc elective franchise, for they are in no wise binding. ■They are merely recommendatory; and being recom mendatory, it matters not whether candidates offer thein st ’.ves for the suffrage of their fellow.citizens of their own accord, or by the nomination of a Convention or I aucus, however small or large it may be in number. In cither case the candidates cannot be elected but by a majority of the voters, as in some States, or by a plu rality, as in Georgia. Though disposed at all times to subscribe to the nominations of a Convention, yet we know-, and we teel, that, notwithstanding these nomina tions, we are left r.t perfect liberty to give or not our • ote and our support to the ticket adopted and rccom. mended by the Convention. Under this view of the subject, we g ive m our adhesion to the nomination of Mr. \an Buren by the Baltimore Convention, with the understanding oa all sides, that, should any thing occur m the interval to change our minds, with regard to the nomination, we will do so, and give our vote and sap-» port to other citizens than Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren, for the two highest offices of the federal govern mem. These preliminary remarks were necessary to under rta id the drift of our comments on the article of the federal Union, upon the subject of the nomination of Mr. \ an Buren by the Baltimore Convention. Ino editors of the paper in question, are pleased f> r.tv, tint *• The Baltimore Convention was a mere bub ; that it presented a specious exterior; but was hoi m .asivc, and evanescent; without solidity, and 3 - ' ' vou.i not lorm a b„s;s for the union of the Jackson par •} These are mere assertions; for the result alone " e e; vction. Simula it turn out against the Baltimore nomination, could authorize the assumption of such a position by the editors of the Federal Union: the elec -Mt. ukes place only in November next. Moreover, the '•a-.ors did certainly not read the proceedings of that ■ ier, otherwise they would h&ve ascertained that t the object of the meeting had been accomplished, by, the nomination of a distinguished and popu! r hr m for the Vice-Presidency, and that the delegate i u mously, after it had been ascertained that th ' zen i hid received more than two thirds of the v :•* nad ti confirmed the nomination, and joined in the -ren ’ dation of Mr. Van Buren to the American t : pic or their suffrage. So tar the Convention i- 1 . t a • bab ble so far it is not “ delusive;” and the result T the election in November next, will determine whether it j has not led to the union of the Jackson party, j Respecting the denial given by the editor of the Fedc .irad Union, that a large portion of the people or Georgia.. {{did not concur in the measure, "t shall leave the editors j of the Georgia Journal to answer for themselves. They j 'are able to do so; they have their own files of newspa- ! j !pers, in which the meetings in many counties, and the presentments o{ grand juries, were published. It is still fresh in our recollection, that at those meetings, and in itbose presentments, the Baltimore Convention received the approbation of our citizens, who concurred in ap-1 pointing our members of Congress, delegates to that i '‘Convention. And if the editors o! the Journal will take .the trouble to examine the matter more minutely, it is ( our bebef, that they will find that the population of the I ’'counties which concurred in the measure, amounts to j 1 more tuaa the majority of tne whole population of this, ■State. |j The editors of the Federal Union am also pleased to j. 9ay r that tiie proceedings of the Convention are dicta to- ij I tor. !; that the assumption of the power of nominating, is grossly i • elicate and arbitrary; and that to permit men i high in cilice, to control the great elections of the pco- 1 pie, is a precedent most dangerous to liberty. Indeed !| Are the editors serious? If the Convention intended to dictate, and could dictate, what is the use of protesting aga.nst the nomination of Mr. Van Buren, so strenuous, ly as the editors of the Federal Union do? Why con demn the proceedings of the Convention, as a “ bubble,” i .as being “ delusive” and “ evanescent”? The very act' u. protesting against and condemning the nomination, e-'j proot positive that there is no dictation, and that the ! ! ... Convention left it to the discretion of the people, either to sanction tiie nomination, by voting for Mr. Van Eu. ren, or reject it, by voting for some other individual. ! Dictation indeed, when the editors of the Federal Un- ! > ion, and the friends of Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, join | in reproving the nomination, and recommending other | ■ individuals instead of Mr. Van Buren. But the editors speak ol dictation; and they are themselves guilty of; I tiie very offence they condemn. They recommend Mr., Barbour. Here then are two individuals—respectable' ‘men, to be sure, who dictate to the people of Georgia, 1 land oi the United Slates ! and they condemn the same 1 , thing done by more than three hundred citizens, equal- j ■; ly as respectable as the editors themselves 1 These * It , |j three hundred citizens have done nothing more than to I ’recommend : if they have dictated, the editors of the y I federal Lnion assume to themselves the same power! ol dictation. Rut why are the editors so fastidious a bout this nomination ? If they are so scrupulous about . the rights and powers of the people ; if they are so sen . sitiv. aheut a few dictating to the majority: why did they not put the mark of their reprobation upon the j jiiomhiation mada at Athens, in August last, by a few [lj citizens, of a candidate for Governor ? Have they ever denied that a Caucus was then held, composed ol a re-| ry few citizens, and a citizen compelled to beeome a j candidate against his will and previous declaration ? 1 I The editors ol the Federal Union are keen observers | of passing even’s, and possess a degree of discern. ! meat as acute as it is aliva to the actions of their op- II ponents; hut in this instance, they have taken grounds j from which their better recollection, if it had not failed I them, would have plainly shown them they eould easily 1 bo dislodged. The next position assumed by the editors of the Fe . dsra! Union is, that there was a want of reciprocity a xnong the members of the Convention, because the de.; ■ legates irom Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, j Connecticut, New. Jersey, Delaware, Louisiana, and j Ohio, brought no stake with them, they had no electoral j vote to give, and they are in the minorities in those ji States. We agree, that the electoral votes of Vermont, jt Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Dela ’ j. tvare, will not be given to Gen. Jackson ; but we deny 7 ■ tli it the voles of New. Jersey, Ohio and Louisiana, are' I j certain against Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren. The! ;i votes of New-Jersey and Louisiana are doubtiul ; bur | the vote of Ohio is as certain for Jackson and Van Bu.! ireu as the vote ul Georgia. We agree too that the de j|i legates of Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con. I necticut and Delaware, represented minorities in the Convention. But we will put the question to the editors ol the Federal Union—are the minorities to have no voice in an election sa important as that of President and \ ice-i reside.it ol tno United States ? Because in tne minority, are the friends of General Jackson—the staunch Ineuis oi republican principles—the firm and i juudeviating supporters of the administrations of Jelfor ; son, Madison, and Monroe, to have no voice in the j choice of their chief magistrate 7 It is lor this very 'privilege ol being heard and consulted, that we sanc tion the mooting of the Convention. In their own I stntos their votes are absorbed by the votes of the rna ; jority ; end because they are in the minority, their fosl-i mgs, their prepossessions, their sense of public policy, I : are not to have any weight at all with the republican' | party ? It is tms they have no electoral vote to give ; '.but they belong to the great republican family. In e • Ijvil times ; in times of war and danger; in times when the American confederacy was attacked on all sides Trom enemies without, and citizens within-—these mia , unties stood firm, and by their firmness, and their devo tion to republican principles, and to the republican par- II ty, saved the country —actually saved the country from rum. desolation, and subjection to England. And such j men are not to be consulted on measures of public poll-1 cy, nor on the most important elections ? As much as I we have confidence in the patriotism and integrity of the ' republican party in Georgia, in the majority, so much! do w» admire and respect the patriotism and political! ■ integrity of the republicans of Vermont, Rhode Island,! i Massachusetts and Connecticut, though in the minoritv. i And there is nothing that can give us so much gratifies-1 ■ j|tion, as when that minority can be consulted on any' great question of policy, and when their feelings and opinions have their due weight. Tiie Baltimore Con vention was a meeting of delegates from#the republl can party in the United States. These delegates met, not to dictate, not to elect, not to choose, a Vice Pres;- i ’ dent, bat to interchange opinions and views, with regard: to an individual tube supported by the partv for that' high office. In the distracted stare of the party, when! ISO many claims are set up to the public favour; when | 'lour opponent*, taking advantage of the circumstances,, I are moving heaven and earth in order to increase our> . difficulties; the Baltimore Convention met, to reconcile 1 all the claims of our distinguished citizens, and by mu- ! : Ijtud concessions, to concentrate the votes of the party! on one individual. The Baltimore Convention was a meeting ot de sgatas from the republican parti-, and not from majorities or minorities—it was a family meet- '• ing, in which the best interests ot its members were * uiscussed. and measures adopted suitable to insure and I promote the welfare of each. Considered under this 1 , point of view, all ihe calculations of the Federal Union j ’ tail to the ground. We will barely adl. that the vote of ! Georgia is not doubtful. As certain as Gen Jackson 1 ■ will receive the vote of Georgia, as certain will Martin' i Van Buren be on the some ticket for the Vice Pres.- ( dency. j t Before we conclude, we will ask the editors of the t Federal Union, why do they entertain such hostile feel- : .ings towards Mr. Nan Buren ’ Is u becausa he has is n - ;tc n a warm friend to Georgia? Is it because he has . en a consistent republican ? Is it because he voted ■r the T r.ff of 18:1S, according to the instructions of the legisl .ture of his own state ? This appears to be khe ground of their opposition to him. Bat this hostili. ty is owing to s mething else. Tiie plain fact is, Mr. V-a Bunm has been, and is still, the friend of Mr. Cravt.ord. Mr. Van Buren received the electoral vote? ol Georgia lor he Vice Presidency, when the editors I of the Federal Un ion were straining every nerve to pro cure 'h..se votes for Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Van Buren is now the most popular man with th# republican party: The editors ot tiie Federal Union would like to see Mr. Calhoun that papular man. If we are mistaken in i our opinion,'he editors can correct us. But they re j commend Mr. P. P. Barbour. Gentlemen, you do know hat this distinguished and popular Virginian, was and is 'also a friend of Mr, Crawford. Why then choose him, j m preference to Mr. Van Buren ? Mr. Barbour is a pa triot without reproach. We coincide with the editors in this attribute of Mr. Barbour. But was he so consi dered by them in 1821 and 1623, when he advocated the claims of Mr. Crawford to the Presidency ? Why now prefer him ? The editors of the Federal Union can tell; for our own parts, it must be permitted to u? to say, that, unless the contrary is shown, they, like the inends of Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, wish, by their op position to Mr. Van Buren, defeat the election of Gen. i | Jackson, and throw the choice of a President into the I House of Representatives, where corruption, intrigue, and political management may place either Mr. Clay op Mr. Calhoun in the Presidential chair against the will of a large majority of the American people, as in 1825. Besides, mark the sign of the time : the friends of Mr. Calhoun intend to run him for the Presidency, with Mr. ?. P. Barbour on the ticket for the Vice Presiden cy: What docs this mean ? We put the questipn to the Editors of the Federal Union, THE CHEROKEES. The following interesting information we copy from !the Southern Banner, printed at Athens, Ga. of June 13. “ V» r e have learned from an intelligent gentle eD O man v/ho has just returned from the Cherokee nation, that the delegation had returned from 1 Washington City, and that he had ascertained I from an individual iu the confidence of those | privileged gentlemen—a man of intelligence and s anding among the Indians —that the delega tion came to the conclusion, before leaving Washington, to treat with the General Govern ment in October next. They have been doubt less advised to this course by their pretended friends at Washington. The Cherokee excite ment is too potent an engine against General Jackson, for Messrs. Clay, Calhoun & Co. to relinquish at the present important crisis—and hence the postponement of its settlement until after the Presidential election.” '-ILL 11 11 —. 1 11 ■■■ ——— COMMUNICATIONS. FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. I perceive from an advertisement, now before the public, that there has been a reorganization ofihe “ Medical Ins ilute of Georgia and I,g Professors contemplate commencing a course of lectures in October next. The ci’izen, as well as the physician, must feel interes ed in the ad vancement of the science of Medicine; and any manoeuvre, which is calculated to re*ard it, or deteriorate from the rcspec ability of the pro. session, must call for the disappreba’ion of the community, tor all classes are equally interested. The gentlemen engaged in this project are entitled to due credit for ihe motives which acu ate them, but I think, if they will reflect for a moment, they must be convinced that the Insti tution is uncalled for, and under existing cir cumstances, and the present crowded state of the . profession, calculated io do an injury to i s stand ing in our s ate —Its injurious effects will extend no farther, as the lectures heretofore delivered in the Institution have not been recognized bv any Medical College in the United States; —and under the present organization, they cannot hope or better success.—it is useless to enter in to details, on a point which mas. appear evident to every one who will reflect. Two ofihe pro fessors have had an opportunity of visiting some ol the first Schools in Europe, as well as our own country, and they cannot but see the tru h of the foregoing observations. The medical men of Georgia should reflect on this subject, and throw the weight of their influence into that scale which will most contribute to the advance ment of the honour of their profession. A CITIZEN. Messrs. Editors, You have doubtless noticed the Presentation of the great Pcrrv Man uscript. Here is another specimen of that hoax ing policy, which has of late been so conspicu ous in the manoeuvres of thojS.C. Nullifiers. This document, though exceedingly trival in its na ture, might not improperly have been placed a mong oar records. Hut what, save the very spirit of Humbug , could have prompted the trans fer ot such a paper, with as much pomp and cir cumstance, as if it had been a copy of the lost writings of the sago Trismegistus ? Really those gentlemen should learn to treat us with a little more respect. They seem to regard the people ot our state as a horde of vain barbarians, whose rude services may be cheaply obtained, by the coarsest arts, and the paltriest bribes. If they proceed as they have begun, we may expect that before long they will send over a “ Talk,” ad dressed to "the Chiefs and Warriors of the Geor gia Tribe, settled on the right-side of that beau iir'ul stream, the Savannah,” accompanied by a suitable present of beads, striped handkerchiefs, tomahawks, and tobacco. M. 3 Tcssrs. Guieu 4' Bunce: I suggest a new method for the preservation and health of the citi zens in the city of Augusta. As the approach ing warm season and dry weather sits in, we must expect during the summer, heat, wind, dry and heavy columns of dust in our streets, par ticularly in Broad-Street, the great thorough-fare for wagons, carts, drays, gigs and stages; large . drove of cattle and horses, pass and repass, to the injury of our merchandize, household furni ture and other valuables. It may be often the cause of much irritation to the lungs of oar citi-, zens generally, who are in some instances affec ted with pulmonary or other complaints ; and thus hasten their passage to the grave. Yet as fife is more sweet than bread and meat, or of more value than all things else, I would advise' the community at large, that our streets be wa tered every afternoon, say, from the first of June | to the firs: of October, every year, at the pub- | lie expense, ihe most essential par-should be from the lower to the upper market. Provide two-small carts, with one horse each, with an iron bound hogshead or pipe, to hold one hun-, dred and twenty gallons, with a wood or tin trough across behind ; the trough bored round j with quarter inch holes, to let the water run | nrough. The proper place where the cartmen ‘ ■saoaij obtain the water, should be drawn from i the hydrant; the small quantities which would he drawn from the reservoir, would not be miss ed ; the spring water would be much colder and clear. By sprinkling the street, going up and ! coming down, will keep the dust oh the earth. When plenty rain, s*op your carts. When the |street gets dry, begin to move your carts as heretofore; it will prevent the dust from filling > our mouths, lungs, eyes and ears, from suffoca tion ; our children also being very much ex posed going and coming from school, overheat ied with sweat, filled up with dust and filth, al most certain to die with thirst and suffocation. SEN EX. From the Georgia Cabinet. M e place first under the editorial head of the ; Cabinet, the names of the Candidates for Presi : dent and \ ice President and Members of Con : gress. Individually, our personal wishes are by j no means entirely* gratified with the whole array*, j The name of P. P. BARBOUR, would have much better graced the list, incur estimation, d: had the Baltimore Convention so determined, we should have hailed the selection with signal j gratification. But personal preference, not only jas regards the \ ice Presidency, but our Con s easional representation, must be sacrificed to j insure tiie integrity of our party and the perpetui , j ty ot the principles we advocate. —As the whole -! array has at least passed thro’ the forms of re j gulat nomination, we shall give it our sincere ■; support, however feeble. From the National Intelligencer of June 20. 1 T-he mortal remains of the honourable C. C. > Johnston, one of the Representatives in Con j gross from \ nginia, were yesterdav morning brought to his lodgings from Alexandria, at tended by a Committee of the Corporation ol that place. 1 fie circumstances of his death are reported thus: He had gone to Alexandria to visit a friend on Sunday ; lie passed the evening at his friend s house, and left it, in the midst of the storm then raging, to go so the wharf, with a ; view to take passage on board the mail-boat Sydney, which leaves Alexandria at about 0 ; o’clock, P. M. for the city. He was at ended b\ r a servant, who left him when he iiad shewn him within sight of the wharf. This was the i last seen or heard of him until his body was | found on Monday afternoon. It is beyond a i doubt that he walked into the slip, and struck i Ins head in falling, or he would have saved him -1 self, being an expert swimmer, i -1 his melancholy occurrence cast a gloom i yesterday over ail Congress. Its fatality*, in i dependent!}* of the merits of the deceased, pro duced a deep sensation- By those who knew hun, his death is doubly grieved, his character for talents and integrity being embellished by , the most endearing personal qualities. Hi's I’uneral took place from the Capfol yesterdav afternoon, and was attended by all Congress. ’ both Houses having adjourned as soon as his deadi was announced yesterday. * * A slip from our correspondents of the Savan nah Republican, dated 20,h inst. says—“ Wc learn by* a passenger in the schooner Jane, ar rived yesterday, from Havana, that a vessel | arrived there on the 12th inst. from Omoa, with j three Commissioners for Guati nal x, w ith full 'powers to restore the government of Central A- Imerica to the King ot Spain. They had not landed.” I - NASSAU, NewvProvidence-—A severe gale was ex. I perienceci at that Port on tne Gth inat. The injury done | in town was not material, but damage dune in the harbour : to trie shipping was more serious. EDUCATION—A notice has been issued in Cincin. .nati, Ohio, calling for proposals s o build ten school hous es in that city, for Public Schools. ) Venezuela. —lt appears by letters received in this city by the Jasper, from La uayra, that the Congress ot Venezuella have decreed that t at | State shall form a treaty of federation or con j federation with the other States of Colombia, j They have already appoined commissioners, I VV J‘° are to meet those of New Grenada and the Equator at Bogoia. Senor GalLgoand Gen, Ca rabona are the commissioners appointed. Tne j country continued to enjoy perfect tranquility, i mi in am——m—i From the Georgia Courier. On the 25th of April Just, at the residence of P. J. Murray Esq. in Hail county, Georgia, Lieut. Russell Baldwin, a native of Massachusetts, about 33 years ol , age. , Lieut. Baldwin* had been ior some time in a low state ' of health and had received leave of absence from the De partment for some months ; since which he had chiefly i occupied his time in travelling through the Southern , States, and particularly in Geological researches in the Western part of this State. He had been in the service j from early in 1813, to the date of his death, a period ot ij 19 years, and actively engaged in the duties of bis pro fession until his health became so broken that it was ne- J cessary he should (for a short time) suspend his exer tions. In 1825 he was appointed to a Lieutenancy, and had not his early death cut short his honorable career, stood fair on the list to reach the crowning point of his professional ambition. Possessed of a line and highly cultivated mind, and endowed with those courteous*and ; generous feelings so characteristic of his gallant pro i session, he -was deservedly esteemed by all who knew him, and his loss is regretted by them with the double lament of public and private grief. He was disinterred and brought to this city on the 17th inst. and his remains were followed by a numerous concourse of his friends and acquaintances tr. the Sand- Hills, where ho was buried with Military honors. Col. fanning and the Officers of the United States Depot, giving their aid in this last tribute ot respect to the memory of that gallant and lamented officer, and parti, j cipating in the general expression of sympathy for the I sorrow of those distant relatives and friends to whose i memories and affections he was endeared by longer hut I not more sincere ties of friendship and esteem. H. The following is the substance of the Discourse at the funeral of Lieut. B. made iy the Rev. S. G. Ikx fi.vch : When the old man dies; whose life had long been wasting away, we recognise in the event the ordinary course ot nature. When the infant expires, whose mind . has hardly expanded to a perception ot surrounding ob jects, we mourn mr a hope disappointed—but the loss , has its numerous and great consolations. It is when the man in middle life is suddenly taken away, in the lull enjoyment of every faculty, in the possession of eve ry blessing of the present moment, and every blooming, prospect tor the mture —it is then that death speaks to j ; us the language oi dismay and admonition. Such was' the death ot Lira whose remains we are now consign-' ing to their last earthly resting place. Seldom is it our! lot to meet an instance of mortality more striking, more calculated to exci'e the deepest emotion in the hearts l j ot survivors than is presented to us in this instance. To many whom I address, he around whose grave' w-e have assembled was intimately known. The au thur of Nature had bestowed on him no ordinary ad vantages of person and of mind.—He was one of those, who, wherever they go, attract the friendship of those wiio know them. Polished in his manners, the trea sures Oi his ncfily stored intellect, were communicated w’ith the utmost case and gracefulness. To have look-■ ed on has manly form, so have marked the cheerfulness j of ins oonversati on. me would have thought that for him !j a long and a nappy Lie must be in store. Prosperous, ' j and beloved by many friends, brighter hopes awaited 1| |mm for tne future. What source of earthly enjoy, ment was there, which d:d not seem to be his own ? And whom on earth could he have envied on the very' morning of that day which was to prove his last ? j i! He died, when death seemed further from him than _ | any—he died in the midst of those years which would ,' have seemed to be the term of life for one of his appa "ij rent Iy robust frame. In the fullness of present enjoy, d i men; and of hope for the future, was the strong man . j| laid low. by the mysterious providence of God. eii And who, among those now assembled around hi? j!grave, has a stronger hold on life than appeared to be his 7 Who of us can tell, but that equally sudden and ? mysterious may be the blow ? Are you now in health ? -■ Docs fortune seem to smile upon your lot ? A few ;.j|days may see your prospects blasted forever! Your inanimate remains mingling with the clods of the ~ vally.—So let us live then, that when the summons *; | shall come, we may not fear to die. ij I have said, tha; he who is no more, was one of those j; who make many and warm friend-.—There are hearts ! near and afar off) which have deeply felt his los-, and ■ long will his memory be cherished with affectionate J | care. But there are consolations for the mourner.— j „ '’There i- consolation in the Religion of Jesus : there is j i consolation in the all-directing goodness of our Ilea- [ jvenly F-.ther ; that God whose name is Love.—Toj * Him we confide, in humble trust, the spirit w hich I y j bus loft us. For us remain the precious promises of | '■ hour Saviour’s Gospel—the nope that vve may meet the ! 'departed in another world—and the solemn admonition L wl.ith ins death conveys, “Be ye also ready, for at an - jhour when ye think not, the Son of Man comcth.” I j _ PR E S 2-\T nE * T!S. : The Grand Jurors of the County* of Richmond - I of the second week of the J une Term, 1382. j 1. Concur with our predecessors of the first 'j week, in regarding the abolition of Penitentiary i punishment in Georgia, as highly injurious to he best interest of the State, and earnestly re ~ ! commend, to the next General Assembly, its re j establishment, with such improvements as ex iperience may have suggested. 2. We also concur with them in believing t . . O . ithat the extensive traffic carried on, in this city, . tn Lottery T ickets, is calculated to sap the {bun t dation of that prosperity, which is best promoted . by* tiie steady and honest industry of its in >f habitants.—We consider it a kind of Gambling, j sanctioned by* law. The existing Law, which d: forbids dealing in Tickets of lotteries not an al thorized by this State, is, we have reason to be s | iiove, ofien violated or evaded by ordering or t-1 affecting to order the Tickets after an applica nt i lion for them is made. To render the legisla t j) lion of the State consistent on this subject, and Jij to check as much as possible that spirit of un d ; lawful gambling which dealing in Lottery a : Tickets has a tendency to foster, it is earnestly* e recommended to the Senator and Reprcsenta s lives of this County in the next General Asseinb a ly, to use their influence to prevent any future Lotteries from being granted by this State, for . the distribution of money, and to procure, if pos sible, tiie passage of a law to prohibit under ad a equate penalries, the buying, selling, ordering, ,-1 delivering or receiving of tickets, authorized -i by the laws of any State or country whatever, v I 3. We present as an qvil, the practice of sell rijing or giving intoxicating Liquors to Slaves, and k* ij recommend the passage of a law to prohibit it s j «1 ogeher without the consent of their owners. y | 4. We pi •esent as a grievance the heavy ad i valorem tax imposed by the Laws of this State on s buildings and improvemen’s in lots, in cities and towns, while this description of property in the country is entirely exempt from taxation, and . recommend an equalization of all such taxes e throughout the whole State. We cannot close these presentments without .1 expressing the high sense we entertain of the hj ability, assiduity*, und urbanity, with which his II ;j Honor Judge Holt, and Charles J. Jenkins Esq. . • the Attorney General, have performed the im ,t| ponant duties of their respective offices during I the present term.
