AURARIA, LUMPKIN COUNTY, GEORGIA, APRIL 19, 1834.
in its primitive purity, strength and beauty, untram
melled with the conditions, restrictions, limitations
and refinements of the political weather-cocks of the
present day—these may be numbered among the ob
jects, to the accomplishment of which, our humble
exertions shall be devoted, with a zeal and we trust,
a sincerity not unbecoming their importance.
Nurtured and brought upas we have been, in the
admonition of the Republican State Rights doctrine
—in a contest in w hich their preservation is sought
on the one hand by the lovers of Constitutional Lib
erty, and threatened on the other by the renewed as
saults of re-anitnated Federalism, it may be easily
conjectured on which side we are to be found. We
aspire to belong to the Republican State Rights Party,
professing such principles as sustained the Fathers of
that faith in ’9B and ’99—as bore that parly in Geor
gia triumphant, through the political conflicts of'2s
and 26. and to which it has not proved recreant in
’32 and’33 VVe claim to be disciples of the School
of Jefferson, as taught in the Kentucky and Virginia
Resolutions. But professions of repuhlicrnisra have
become mere cant, when every party lays claims to
that title, from the Union L/emocratic Republican par
ity of Georgia, tip to the great National Republican
■party of the Union, and hack to the remnant ot the
party which rejoiced in the subsequent election ot a
Sedition law Judge, as the triumph of the democratic
Republican party of New England! Equally vague is
the pretence to belong to the State Rights Parly, since
many of those who profess to be State Rights adher
ents, deny to the States all other rights, but those of
remonstrance and submission. Still more uncertain
• s the profession of belonging to the Jeffersonian
'School, since many who pretend to be followers of
that i’atriot, publish to the world, the. preposterous,
the humiliating notion, that the labours of his whole
life were intended to prove that the States have only
the right of petitioning for a redress of grievances--©!
remonstrating against unconstitutional Federal Legis
lation, and finally “when all other remedies fait” of
- protesting !! ! To prove that our profes
sions are not of this character, let thn columnsol the
Herald oe our witness.
The ears ofthe people have of late been drummed
almost to deafness with the continued and popular
cry of Union! Union 11 Union !!! VVe too profess,
not emptily, to love aud venerate the Union, and to
beas highly sensible of its incalculable value and im,
portance, as those who are most loud and boistersous
jin their clamours. But we seek to have a. Union, in
j truth and indeed; a Un-on of States in its pristine
j beauty and simplicity; in its original bealihftil vigour
[ anti purity We would besparedto pan-' of viewing
! our own native Georgia, in whose bosom we have
J been cherished; upon the frilits of whose soil we have
j tifc.'n reared; in whose bomiliful institutions, we have
been educated ; a mere speck upon the map of a great
i consolidated empire, stripped of her ancient rights,
I and disrobed of her prcmeval sovereignty, by the a
gent she had helped to create; proud as we are, and
as we have reason to be of her name aud of her peo
ple-ardent as are our affections for her, sooner let it
be written that “she was, but is no more.” We
would have her as ofrightshe should tie. asovereign
member—an integral’part of a great contededated Re
public. which shall continue the pride ofthe world—
the hope of Freedom-whose living principle shall
manifest itself, n<H in the pomp and splendour of an
immense and ail controlling central power; but in the
happiness and prosperity ot every one., even the
least ot its mertibers.
It shall be our purpose to make the Hera d wor
thy the perusal of all classes of readers- -ot those who
delight in the pleasure of romance aud the ‘ Uu-ic of
Poetry”—of those who prefer to pursue the. drlightlul
paths of historic or of scientific research.--of those
whose business it is to delve in “mother earth," in
pursuit of her glitteiiugtre.asu-es. as well as of those
who are connected, either through choice, ofnece ssi
tv. with the agitating, political contro verc.ies ot tne
day. Iflhe increase of patr-nage which we seek,
w ill justify the measure, the Herald will be enlarged
so soon as the malerals for that -nrnose. can be pro
cured.

That this poor !>ea>t can cling to."
I COL LI) have Rtermn’d misfortune’s tide,
Ard borne the rich one’s sncfei ;
Ibive brav’d the haughty glance of prloO.
Nor shed a single tear;
I could have smi’d on every bldw
From Lifo’s full quiver llirown,
\\ bile I mifilit gize on thee, and know
I would not tie alone.
I could—l think, I could, have brook’d
E’en for a lime, that thou
Upon niy fading face had look’d
With less of love than now;
; For then, I should a< least have felt
The sweet hope still mv own,
To win thee back —and whilst tbou dwelt
On earth, not been alone !
But thus tn see, from day to day,
’t hy b iahl’ning eye and cheek,
And iiutch thv life sands waste away
Unniiniher’d slowly, meek; —
To meet thv smileot tenderness,
And catch the treble tone
Os kindness, ever breathed to bless,
Amt feel, I'll be alone.

And l el thv hopes grow .-trotiffer,

A thrilling Pa^wa^e—the Dea Hi
There is a powerful article in the last num
ber of the American Mag izine, under the title
ot “ Passages* in lhe Life of Mary Stuart.”
Unable to find space for the whole of it m mtr
columns, we cannot refrain from giving- the
following extract, which, we priGeivp, basal
ready won a compliment from lhe iNew York
American. 'I tie til-fated Chasiclar, having
lirsi confessed Ins love to lhe object of if, and
bc< n indignantly dismt.-tsed, iba scene is thus
conrinm-d.
An hour In id s moi !•/ elapsed, before the
hgh 8 were extinguished throughout the vault*
ed halls of Holyrood; the guards were posted
for the night, the officers had gone their rounds,
the ladies ofthe myal circle were di<mi--*ed.
and all was darkness and silence. In Mary’s
chamber a single Limp wa- burning in a small
recess, before a beautifully ex* coied piinling
ot'ilye v rgin, but the light was not -off -u-nt to
penetrate the obscurity which re'gned in the
rp/anv angles and alcoves of that irregular a > irt
/teent, although liie moonbeams were adirirttcd
through the open t -semen’.
Her garb of ceremony laid ah?, her lovely
-hap*’ s jiitdy versed by a -ingle r he " ■*(»'>•-
less linen, her auburn tresses !; >'-• mg f” '!< •> -
strained luxuriance, almost to er feet i io
had been a creature of perfect human bcoiiv
when viewed in ab ’lie pomp f ' c r -y'!' png- • .dr .
she now appeared a being of supernatural love
liness. Her small white feet, unsandelled,
glided over the rich carpet with a grace, which
a slight degree of fancy might have deemed
'he motion peculiar to the inhabitants of anoth
er world. For an instant t jere she turned to
her repose, she leaned nghtnst the carved mul
lions of the window, and gazed pensively, and,
it might be. sadly, upon the garden, where she
had so lately parted frotn the unhappy youth
whose life was thus embittered by that very
feeling which, above all others, should have
been its consolation. Withdrawing her eyes
from the moonlight scend, she knelt before the
lamp and the shrine which it illuminated, and
ber whispered orisons arose, pure as the source
from which they flowed—the prayers of a weak
and humble mortal, penitent for every trivial
error, breathing all confidence to Him who can
alone protect or pardon; the prayers ofa queen
for her numerous children, and, last and holi
est of all, a woman’s prayers for her unfonu
nale admirer. Yes, she prayed for Chastelar,
that strength might be given to him from on
high to bear the crosses ofa miserable lite,
and that by divine mercy the hopeless :c,x-e
might be uprooted from Ins breast. The w- rds
burst passionately from her lips; her whole
form quivered with the excfess of her tmotibn,
. and the big tears fell like ra n from her 'iphTi: d
eyes. While she was yet in the Very fiord of
passion, a sigh was breathed, so blearlv audi
ble, that the conviction flashed like ligb. :ug
on her soul, that this most set ret prayer ae
listened to by other ears than those of heaven
ly ministers. Terror, rente terror, took pos
session of her mind, banishing by its supi riot
violence everv less engrossing idea. She
snatched the lamp from its m- ho—waved it
slowlv around the chamber—and there in 'he
most hallowed snot of her widowed chamber,
a spy upon her unguarded momeri s, stood a
dark figure. Even in that moment of astonish
ment and fear, as if by instinct, the beautiful
instinct of purely female modesty, she snatch
ed a velvet mantle from the sent on which it
had been cast aside, nnd veiled her person
even before she Oh God! it is de

dread intensity—“a moi a moi mes Frttncbis.

all the fury of injured innocence— ‘ dids- thou
