W e ;irP creatures of imitation, and hv r» necessary influence our temper and habits are very much formed on the model of those with whom we finiharlv associate. In this view nothing is of more un- young men tnan. the choice of then companions. If they select for their asso ciates the intelligent, the virtuous, and the en terprising, great and m-'St happy Will be the effect on their own character and habits. With these living, breathing patterns of excellence before them, they can hardly fail to feel a dis gust at every thing that is low. unworthy and vicious, and to be inspired with a desire to ad vance m whatever I* praise worthy and good. It is needless to add, the opposite of all this s the certain consequence of intimacy with per sons of bad habits an I profligate lives. Young men are, in general, but Imle, aware how much their reputation is affected in the view of the public, by the company they keep. The character of their associates is soon re garded as their own. If they seek the society of the worthy and respectable, it elevates them in the public estimation, as it is an evidence thev respect others.—On the contrary, inlimt <v with persons of had character, always sinks a young man in the eyes of the pmdir. While he, perhaps, thinks bin little o! the i-onsequen res, others are making their rein irks, they learn what bis tasie is, what sort of company he prefers, and predict on no doubtful ground, whai will t,e the issue of his own principles and character. t here «.:<* voting men, and those too who wave no mean opinion <>f them-clvcs. to be intimate w<ih horn would be as much us one’s reputation t wor h. Leisure Hours. —ln what wav can your lei sure hours be filled up s > as to turn to greater account, than in pr- fi able reading? Youu men, do you know now much is depending on the'manner in which you spend your leisure hours. Ask the confirmed inebriate where be first turned aside from the path ot sobriety, mid if his m inorv be not gone wuh ins reason, h> will dwell with painful recollection upon the hours of leisure lie unre enjoyed. \sk the vi< tirn ofcrime, when he took me first step m his reckless career, and he will remind you of the leisure hours he enjoyed in ins youth. Ou the other hand, do you s«e a man who was once in the humble walks of life, now niovtn g in a sphere of external usefulness? He hus banded his leisure hours. Multitudes whose names look bright m the constell item of wor thies, owe tiieir elevation to the assiduity with winch they improved the interval of leisure thev enjoyed from the pursuit of the plough, the awl, or the anvil. They substituted the study of useful books for those trifling urn «se rnems which insidiously lead the unwary into the paths of prufl gaev and vice. M A MCI ND.

Calhoun made the j great effort to establish Nullification as a con i stitution d remedy, and now that the whole i continent has agreed that constitutional Nulli fication is pure nonsense, the hard task was de.<>lved on Judge Harper, to deliver a judi cial opinion t v that effect. When closelv an-! dvzsd, s> ch is the essence of this very myste I rious opinion, however thick the drapery which j conceals it. His argument is in substance, ! ‘hat there resides in the Conventions which I may be from time to time called in the sever- i a| States, an “original, despotic, irresponsible j newer,” winch, against all true legal learning, he dubs — Slate soverei’r' Its. Tins said Suite sovereignty, delegated ! o the constituted au thornies of the United States, power over the people for certain purposes, and as long as that power is not resumed, the people must obey those authorities. Bit this original, irrespon sible and despotic pow<-r, called “State sove reign'v,” is mdivtsable and inalienable; and, therefore, the moment it exercises us ongtnal, lespotic and irresponsible power, and with draws from the authorities ol the United States the power over the people w itch it so dele gated, the people become released from all obligations to obey the laws of t ie United Siaies, and if they d‘> obey diem, they violate their higher and most binding duty of ohedi- ) once to this original, despotic and irrespxi hie power, called State sovereignty; which said highest duty, Judge Harper says is, “al legiance,” tn u- modem sense, and that is not the allegiance of th.- feudal law. li.erefoie h" question of breach of allegiance can only arise when the S ate sovereignty nullifies; that is, rcleasi's the people Iro n their obliga tion to the Union, and 'hen the oath to “b'-ar t'ip allegiance to 'he State,” will bind thos ■ who ' ike it, to obey 'he ordinance ol Nnllifi fic dion, and disobey the Laws and Constitu turn of the Union. I‘his is ill 'he opinion of Judge H irper; tie will no' deny that his is a • strtctlv true analysis o*' his argument.

Tttis was the ibgoty cf 2 man who was trumpeting States Rights from the housetop. If this be so, our allegiance is due to three-fourths of ihe States’ for according to the nullification school, allegiance is due to sovereignty. This exposition was written as the cree*! o{ South < 'arolina, and for that reason w is I’.aop'ed as a report by a Committee of the H iuse, of Representatives, consisting of Messrs., Cregg, Wardlaw, Legare, Hayne, Preston, T/liott and Smith. It will be that S! x us 'bis Committee are leading and most dis >ininiisiied "ullifiers of the present d iy. It was t hf ’ mproved orthodox creed of the party. Bu ..’I ■’ tw<i-v is bandoned for ano'her of a totally Diflerent nature and character. I > ds s >cech on w'"*at h" is pleased to <-ill tlie Bloody bill, Mr. Calhoun says— “ Nor is (he other point less clear—that the sovereignly is in the several States and that our system is a Union of 24 sovereign powers un der a constitiittoiia! compact and not a divided sovereignty between the States severally and the United States. In spite of all that has been said. I maintain hat sovereignty is in its nature indivisible.” Now he s;-ys that each State is sovereign and abandons altogether the idea of a transfer of the sovereignty to three-fourths of the Slates , an / therefore, our allegiance must he due to South. Carolina Thus in ’2B each of the States have transferred their sovereignty by the Constitution to thret-fourths of the S'ates, and therefore retain none of it—in 33 each of 'he States is a sovereign power, and the U. S ties have no sovereignty: in ’2B we owed exclusive allegiance to three-fourths of the Stall's, hut in 33 we owe his exclusive allegi ance to lh<* Sta'e alone. Such is the contra diction in di the opinions of this restless and visionary V/itator. As the party adopted this theory of’2B—so they have changed about and adopted that of’33. T<> day he proclaims that a brown loaf is a leg of mutton, and all his worsh pners full nrostrate o > their faces crying out Amen great K ug, to-morrow tie proclaims that a leg of tnmioti is a brown loaf, and with equal solemnity thev clap their hands and shout assent. Georgetown Union. Divided lllegiance.— X' a meeting of nul lifiers held at Um hi Court House J dv 7, the following resolution was adopted with huzzas of applause. “ Resolved, That tho doctrine of a divided allegiance due bv our citizens to the State and General Government, as maintained bv a ina j >ruv of the aepe d bench, is a relic of anuen* t >rv:sm and :n ipplic mle to our present complex Hid federative system.” We see 'V the above resolution that the su'iject ol divided allegiance is 1 nounc.ed by these sapien's as a relic 01, anlietu torvism. The lories knew no him! "I a divided allegiance. They knew tm other 'h iiit i u which thev owed t » king George Tuts thev considered abs >lme—supreme—ex clusive : tloming on earth could have induct'd them to see it in the le ts’ degree impaired »r divided. Il the chaigc of torvism is applicable io oithei snec.ies, it is ceri imlv u» th: t exclu sive allegiance now contended for by tilt* nulli fiers- But the Tur es ) flor from the Nnllifieis in this respect, th u they adhered with g ■<»•!

We hive often declared that we feel fir tlie gieat body of ihe n llifiers, great sym pathy wehiillhemas brethren of the sime soil md perrrivtng that thev are deluded we feel for them more than tiilv. We believe 'his to have been the case with those who adopted this patnetd d res d'Hion. A curious incident occurred w'nle these persons were thus is sembled. Mr. C dhmi i arrived from th’* Cap itol —a rlepnt I'ton waited on hun to invite his al 1 end a U*'(*—h 1 ‘ (leclmcil but leM ircd that ‘‘he icas with heart and soul.”—lbid. The nuUifiers embrace every occasion to nlace the State instimtions in <>pp >sition to those of the Unred Slates. They endeavor to inculcate !"»• doctrine, that G»’ .rgta is a se parate and di'tinct nation: not only uncon nected .n interest and feeling with, bin d>iecl ’lv opposed to, t'- e balance of the union.— They endeav »r bv every art and artifice to i break down that nationality of te*ln»g, that ■ Pervading love of our whole country. and pride tn 'he distinctive name of American, winch I was once so distinguishing a trait nelhe char irter of every true Georgian: and to gimplv its place with a nair >w contracted patriotism, which is bom ded try a river, a county line, and deems all enemies which lie beyond it.— It is lor tins purpose that on their public exhi bitions they dl'place the Xmeric in flag; His for this purpose they raise the single star and ' the palmetto bint n. In S v.mnah •» was observed, that in cele brating h !a'<e antve'-arv of American liber ty, instead of marshalling’ their process: »n a i , under the glorious Banner wmch led our fathers io victory, they must needs rats, a Ihtmr of blue which they called the ‘/Lrg of Georgia ” What au’honty they found thus to christen it, wo know not. I\p are n> t aware mat Georgia has ever set up anv other flag than 'hat of trie '‘Glorious Star and Stripes.” Too was deemed sufficient by ■ our father* during the revolutionary times, ; when they poured out liictr bio »d like water, 'o defend 'he liberties of their whole country. | This was their leading star in those divs tba' tried men’s souls. It gleamed over them in ; many an hour oi peril, ii wav d them on to ma- 1 nv a brilliant victory. Amid the darkness and confusion of the fight, it was a bicon for i those who struggled, a shroud tor those 1 wtio’fell. Nor did the heroic defenders of' Savannah in ’9l who poured out their blood with Pulaski wish for any other flag to’ fight, to live or to die under, in those? days cf patriotism nnd valor, the stars and I .'tripes w’av»*d unsullied and unrivalled from , every hbexty pole ...-urn Ute seaboard to t’e mountains. But now in these days of nul lification and State remedies, the mistaken sons of Savannah think that something more is necessary for them to marshal) under. I hey must have a new flag. A “field of deep blue, decorated with fringe and tassels/’ is advanced in (heir procession. What were its devices or bearings, is not stated, wheth er the single star, the rattle snake, or whether the 1 and “tisscls were all, is left to conjecture. It was hailed however by the nulltes, and styled the flag of Georgia ! A thing of blue, of fringe and tassels, palmed upon the multitude of Georgia. Among the nany modern plans of puffing one’s self into nonce, we observe th;. trick i of sending round to some dozen diflerent sec tions of the State a toast or .sentiment to be read at a regimental barbecue, or 4'h of July dinner, by some convenient friend, is becoming quite common. To h ive some willing individual, ful- | ly aware of his own importance, (from seeing it often inflected in the glass.) rise, and amid the hum of confused voices, state that he has just received a letter from his respected and honored friend, the distinguished Mr. Rumpfoosle, who being deprived of the felicity of meeting his friends on the present occasion by a severe at tack of the cholic, or some kindred accident, is nevertheless with them in soul, and to recipro cate feelings begs them to accept of a sentiment &c. ! This being properly interlarded withl suit able epi hets and compliments, naturally i givesiiseto the itiq iiry of, who is M». R imp foosle ? And the answer bring given that Mr Rumpfoosle is the distinguished .Mr. Rump- I foosle of Buttermilk county, &<’• & c produces quite a sensation, a Listing imptesston on the minds of all present. This mode ol getting one’s si If pnlTi d, is attended with m my advan tages. In the first place, scarcely any ono would think of contradicting what another might say ot his friend on such an occasion \nd in die second, though it might be contra dicted, yet the candidate for fame becomes talked of, which is the next thing to popularity. Among those who have tidopted this plan of puffing themselves into notice, we find that our fi lend Absalom is not a whit behind any of his fellows. We have se •!) something less thana dozen" letters” aibd “ sentimeiiis” w hich he has had the indnstiy to distribute in different sec tions fm die purpose of helping out with a puff, on die commencing of his race for Congress.— I'his puffing, our friend Absalom sees the ne cessity of: and, following the ady <*e ot H<*rcu l les, he is detet nmed to put his ow < shoulder to the wheel.
