PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN BANNER,
A Newspaper published at Athens, Geo.
DEVOTSD TO THE UNION OF THE STATES AND
THE RIGHTS OF THE STATES.
SINCE issuing our proposals about a year since
for enlarging and improving the Southern Banne
events have transpired in (his .State, which render it
a duty we owe to ourselves, as well as our friends and
patrons, to issue a new prospectus.
It isimpossible for the most superficial observer of
the signs of the times, not to have drawn from them
the irresistible conclusion that the political elements
of our State have, within the last six months, under
gone a revolution as great as it was sudden and unex
pected; and we feel it a duty we owe to the public,
to scatterany lingering mists which may still surround
us, produced by this war of elements, this brea king
tip of old party foundations, and this mingling of ex
it ernes hitherto so opposite in the formation of new
®nes, in orderthnt our true position may be revealed,
both to those wdh whom we -Jiall hereeft'T -cl. and
to those by wb.un we may be opposed. It is notour
intention, howevei. at present to enter into an expla
nation of the reasons which have actuated us in mak
ing a choice between the parties lately organizes in
our State —they have been heretofore, and may be
hereafter, more fully explained in our c Innins Our
object is simply to call the attention of th< public to
our press, and to enlist the aid of (hose in its behalf
with whom as a party we are determined to act.
The self styled “ State Rights Party” having adopt
ed the doctrine of nullification in its most obnoxious
sense, as the very soul of its ereed, we xvash our hands
®f it forever, and pledge our best exertions to support
and maintain that parly, both at the Southandth.ough
oui the whole country, which, rallying around that
abused and villified patriot, Andrkw Jackson, have
pledged themselves to maintain, against consolidation
On one hand, and nullification on the other, the integri
ty, honor end glory of oar free institutions.
With this Irer and candid acknowledgment of our
views and sentiments, we submit our paper to the ten
der mercies of our opponents, and to the protection of
oar friends. Our opposition to nullification hereto
fore. has, as might have been antici|*aled called down
U|hmi us the proscription ot a portion of our old friends,
and their exertions to prostrate us increase, in pm
portion as their zeal for the Calhoun mania xvaxes hot.
We hope, however, that the ‘isposhion lately evinced
by the friends of the Constitution and Union. to up
hold and sustain us against their nuU\fving efforts, will
SOW and strengthen in a proportionate degree, and
at we will b® enabled, by their countenance andas-
BMtance, to “go ahead" in a course so disinterested as
Jespacts ourselves, and a cause so sacred as regald.

ON THE STUDY OF N ATUitE.
[Delivered before the Er->oei.phian Society of Mi
ami University j
By John H. Miller, Jun
VV ell may the uni verse be coimidefed the an
e ype ot science. As the former is veloped,
the laiier will progress. Hence the most
splendid achievements of mind, are bm the un
veiling of those materials which have heen
/concealed tn the vaults nf Nature, sin e Na
ture was. Man can only clear the rubbish
limn this shattered temple of God. He can
but again erect the mouldering columns cf that
building which his own hand has prostrated.
Thus it is, that the noblest works which genius
can devise, or fancy picture, tannoi be more
than Nature unfolded If, then, such beauty
and grandeur have withstood the dreadful shock
and still burst through the splendid ruins, how
rich and beautiful must be the fragments which
lie deep and hidden beneath the surface ! How
< nstly the materials of which it has been con-
Mruoed! fence a field for research and in
vestigation is I.ere opened, bright ax ever rose
before an enthusiast’s eye ; a fit Id from which
many golden harvests have heen gathered, yet
whose gleanings still richly repay the daring
intellectual adventurer. D trtng must he be,
as he must here dive deep before the pure pearl
and coral can be gathered; be must labor long
before the virgin gold can be found. He must
here leave the dazzling charms of theory, and
deal with the rough, but noble materials of Na
ture. And surely there will be found in them
a fitness; a grace, a dignity, such as was never
pictured by the mind, although guided by an
unfettered imagination, us was never witnessed
m the enrapturing scenes of fiction or of song.
From tins field ol investigation, jewels may he
gathered that will adorn the loftiest intellect,
By contemplating the works of Nature, th®
poxvers of the mmd are developed. As lhe
pensive moon marks her image in the evening
take, so the image of external Nature mav be
imprinted on mind. How easily <an we detect
tiie rude touch which man can give, from the
signature of Heaven which is stumped an Na
ture. As easily miy we i-.n >w tint tm-id,
wb-ch has been marred by he impress of ob
jects sordid and insignificant. Such, indeed
is a law pl mind, to assimilate itself to the ob
jects ol i s contemplation. Thus it was that
Euripides, by studying the pure and heavenly
strains of Homer, caught a spark of that divin
ity which bursts from every page, and became
himseli sublime. Titus it was. that Demos
thenes, huv.ng burst the shackles w hich Na
ture had forged around him, was enabled, by
mhuhng the chaste and dignified stylo of Thu
cidides, to rise above the broad day-ljcht of
popularity, where he might enjoy the fame
which he had won hy h-s aclmiytiionts of p it
notism and honor, and where he rm<»ht wear
unmolested the chapl- t which was woven by
a nation's hand, and spang), d with the tear of
a nation’s gratitude. Thus it was, that the
Puritan mind bad derived a peculiar charictcr
from the coritcmplationlofsuperior bein. s. For
instead oi catching occasional glimpses of Dei
ty through a mystic veil, they asp red to gaze
lull on the intolerable brightness. And thus
would Hie study of Nat-nc cxpandlhe soul with
lofty and su.diine Coitrepuons. It seems
strange that lhe colt which now iramhols o’er
lhe green, is soon to oc the war-h-»rse, whoso
neck is clothed with th-n.der; or -hut the
eaglet which now fi .iters round -he cliff, is
soon to be the bold aeronaut that can hung for
days on his strung t,. As strange, but tr eit
IS, that the child whose little bosom now swclln
with amazement and delight as he views his
toys, by contemplating the vari< ty and gran
duet ot Nature, may soon, like the eagle, gaze
on the orb of day unmoved—may trace the
comet in his careless fliglit round worlds——
may sport with lightning us some l.arrnli’ss
thing—and at last himself become a radiant
beacon above the flood of time. As the physi
cal system becomes bused and strengthened
by vigorous action, by greater -.nd still greater
effort, —so the mind, by rising on the pinion®
ol thought, from the scenes of car'll, around
wruch it may love io ling- r, by living from
xvorld to woi-d, bursting ev- ry opposing fetter,
until it can pass tiom -he glut ;<■* ihm env»-l pe
‘•Nature, up to Nature’s God,” will gain
sirengiii in every struggle, and will increase in
brigu-ness as it approaches 'he Author of crea
tion. Surely tiie magnitude of tlie object con
sidered, inns- have this legitimate result. If
the mind, through life, is pinned down to those
objects which could scarce be comprehended
in youth, its powers must ever be crippled, its
susceptibilities lie dormant and neglected. But
