1 remains unchanged, for that. Here we see,

ver Uy of idcorgiaf i't is iiiciiiubent ou ywu, to ;
adopt some vigorous measures to prevent the!
recurrence of such scenes. The prosperity ofi
the Institution depends upon public opinion, j
acting through the Legislature. Almost every i
year, application is made for more liberal co- i
dowmeiHs. Can it be expected, that these will j
be m-’de, when the University furnishes such
spectacles as that mooting? The writer ol
this article has heretofore sustained the Colley!:
in more ways than one; and does not mean to
boast, when he says, that it is in bis power to
exert no small influence against it. Should
these things not be suppressed, or satisfactory
exertions made for their suppression, that iuflu- !
enco will be exerted in common with many!
worthy citizens, who now have the good of the
University at heart. A GRADUA TE.

ry simple arrangement, which wou'.l prove c?
infinite value to the College. Change, the.
time of your Commencement to the second
Monday i:i October— it may not suit politi
cians, but it will benefit the College. G

In remarking on this subject, wc suggested ;
to the editor of the Journal of the Times, that
lie ought to L'a'ii a little of the hisloiy and laws
of Ins country, before venturing to sit in judg
ment 011 that high officer, to whom is confided
tiie administratioi) of those laws.—The manner
j in which our advice lias been me», makes it
proper for us again briefly to notice this unim
portant subject. We must coirect a misiepre
sentation, and press our advice.
We had remarked, that “one sage erudite,
in order to shew what was the duly of Gover
nor Lumpkin, affirms, that Governor Gilmer
ip i’doned other persons convicted at the same
! time, and of the same offence, with the mission
■ iru'S, on their taking the oath not again to vio
late the law.” The most obtuse reader must
; perceive, that in this sentence we did not give I
■our own exposition of the purport of the oath I
heretofore required of Cherokee residents—
that we merely stated an assertion, vvhich we :
believed to have been made by tiie editor of
'he Journal of the Tinr-s. And yet the edi
tor of that paper, with our article before him, 1
(for he quotes from it, with inverted comm.is,)
: misrepresents us as expressing our own opin
ion, and saying, i/r propria persona, that the ,
i oath required by the law, was an oath not to j
• viol tto the law. Was tins misrepresentation
ignorantly tirade ?
He charges its with substituting a coinage of
our own for the remark made by himself. We
should regret doing injustice to that editor. We
m.tv have erred; for in rem irking on the Jour
al of the Times, we relied on our recollection
j of a picre which we had not read with profound
auei.’tion, but which we believed that we re
memijered. It seems, that he spoke of the!
oath of allegiance, the oath to support and de
fend the const.'ti.'iion and laws; and nut of an
oath not to violate the law. lor the present
purpose, the difference between two such oaths
is not material: as the former includes the latter.
IL* who supports fi law, docs not violate it: and
ite who violates law, *1 ae.J not support it.—
This nnimportant distinction can ottiy raise a
little fog, which is easily blown off. Admit the
correction, and what does that editor gain?
His assertion is, “that Governor Gilmer oflor
jed hese men,” the mission tries ptrdan,
; ; ri.vidf'd they uonld comply with the law of
G o ia, and take the oath required by that
i w ” This assertion is erroneous. Gover
nor (id.tier required, as a con lition of pardon,
’ tin ua Ii wli atever; but only a promise not again
; to violate tiie law: and all the prisoners sentenc-
r I to PviHlentiary confinement, for illegal re- j
sulence in the Cherokee Territory, except the I
i missionaries,- making such a pt'miise, ieeeiv»id
j their pardon. Admit the correction, and the I
er’itor of the Journal of the 'Times is still prov- j
cd ignorant of the f it' of which bespeaks.
He asks, whether Governor Lumpkin re- i
quired the missionaries to lake lite oath refer-j
red 10, kefore their discharge. 'The law pre
j scribing that oath, h >d been repealed, previous !
I to their paidom to require such ;tn oath, w is 110 j
longer lawful. 'The editor is equal!v ignorant \
of the lam, of which he speaks. Oui advice'

action, we will ivave if" umlei the rebuke of !

the following just, and appropriate rch.'-t'ks: 1
“'The truth is, the fcie deniagogues who have '
raised the hue and cry on th s subject would no! '
! only have sacrifice/! the Missionaries, but the |
very State which h.ts, perhaps, nurtured and |
protected them for years, on the alter, raised (
and dedicated by the Jacobins of South Caro
lina, to the Moloch of discord. Their whole j
hopes weie fixed on this question, as idtiin itely '
’destined to involve Georgia with South Caro
lina, and to bind her hand and fool to the des- !
Operate fortunes of John C. Calhoun! These'
hopes have been dispelled, and hence their
chagrin and vex ition. \Ve h tve any tvs I H.kci 1 ,

taining rights which i'.". st ty belonged to hei; and
we sho Id hiv" raised our voices in ns high a

now do, tt the Executive had dared to liberate

I “But we would scorn to place our loot upon
'the neck of a fallen, disarmed, weak ati I re
pentant enemy, although Ils I: in I may have
been imbrued in our blood. Ami under these j
circumstances, whait ver may be our gener.d
opinion with regard io Governor Lempk n’s

justly his due, in extending to those deluded

GARRICK’S PRECEPTS TO PREACH

i Tim celebrated Garrick having been request
|by Dr. Stmiehouse to favor him with his o
pinion as to how a sermon might 11 be deliv
ered, the English Roscius sent him the follow
ing judicious answer. “My dear Pupil.—
You know how you would feel and speak in a
pailor, concerning a friend who was in emi
nent danger of his life, and with what energet
ic pathos of diction and countenance you
1 would enforce lhe observance of that which
j you really thought would be for his preserva
tion. —You could not think of playing the ora
tor, of studying your emphasis,.cadencies and
gestures; you would be yourself: and (he in
teresting nature of the subject impressing your
heart would iitrnish you with lhe most natural
tone of voice, and the most proper 1 mguage,
lhe engaging features, and.the most suita
ble and graceful gestures. What you would
? be in the parlor, be in the ptdpi.t; and you will
not fad to please, lo affect and to profit.”
