Quidnunc is . rich blood-bay, with black legs, mane And tail, fifteen hands, three inches high, six years old next epring, of fine action, bone and hair. Quidnunc has been purchased at Baltimore, on high recommendation, with a view to improve the stock of Southern horses. His high origin justifies the expec tation that this object may be accomplished. He was gotten by the full blooded imported Arabian Bagdad, (who was aold in New York for 18,000.) out of the famous thorough brad mare Rosa Carey, by Sir Archy —Rosa’s dam was Sally Jones, by the importod Wrangler—lie by Diomea, sire of Sir Archy—haying two direct crosses of the Archy blood with thorough Arabian blood. Hit pedigree is not only jirit rate, but mtkntie. See American Turf Register, Nov. 1831, page 153. It u presumed that Quidnunc has the es sential properties of a racer—for he wti entered for the ** Maryland Stallion sweep etakes,” against all stallions in that stale, and no entry eras made against him; (in American Turf Register, Dee. 1831, p 105,)—and he was sold out of training by P.

The man agement of the vicious and ill disposed portion of commu nity, has been the anxious object of attainment among all governments. But human laws us yet have ever proved inadequate to the entire prevention of crimes. It should be the object of all Legiilatures, never to transcend the bounds and limits of reason and humanity by inflicting punishments disproportionate to the.crimes to wliieh they are annexed. It is not pretended that the Penitentiary System prevents to any very considerable extent, more than the present system oflaws, the commission of crimes; but confinement at hard labor is certainly more in ac cordance with the spirit and reason of this enlightened age, and the dictates of humanity and philanthropy, than the barbarous end heathen systen) of branding, and crop- ping, and whipping the freemen pf the land like catuc MEDICAL INSTITUTE OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. T HE Trustees of this Institution, impressed with the great importance of affording tho facilities ol acquiring a complete Medical Education in nur own State, and in our own climate, have under the authori ty of their charter organised a Medical College in the city of Augusta, and elected the lollowing Professors, to wit: L. A. Dugas, M. D. on Anatomy and Physiology. Jos. A. Eve, M. D. on Materia Medics and Thera peutics. John Dent, M. D. on tbe Institutes and Practice of Medicine. M. Antony, M. D. on Obstetrics and disease! of wo men and children. L. D. Ford, \l. D. on Chemistry andParmacy. Paul F. Eve, M. D. on Surgery. Tho Trustees respectfully call thf attention of the public to the distiuguishing/eoulun of their plan ol in struction. The course wUt be sir months instead of the usual period of four, by which extension of lime, the Lectures will be Ices crowded, and an opportunity afforded for more minute daily examinations. That the Lectures may be interesting snd satisfactory, the ne cessary apparatus and preparations have been ordered from Europe and the North. Candidates for the Doctorate are required tu be of good moral character; to have attended at least tan full course* of Lectures in this Institution, or one in some other respectable Medical College and a second in this r in addition to the uaual term of private atudy; to have registered their names, and delivered to the Secretary an inaugural dissertation on somo medical subject, one month previous to the conclusion of the course. The course will commence on the third Monday fn Oc- tober next, and terminate the third Wednesday in April. The expense of the full course of Lectures will be $100. Matriculation, $5. Graduation Fee, $10. Good Board may be obtained in the vicinity of the Institute for $13 per month. The heahhintas of Augusta and economy to the student, need no comment.

BRYD1E. Athens, August 10—51—4t. ana slaves. It is absurd too, to rflix the punishment of death to so many small offences, because the punishment is greater than the crime. Goveinment should bo ever cautious in assuming and exercising the high prerogative of shedding human blood, and antsting human life. It is betterto confine criminals whosj crimes are too great to be passed over lightly, and yet loo small to deserve the last punisluncnt which nature ciinjbcar, and thereby take away the power for a season of committing crimes, than to let their blood rest upon the country, by consigning them to a hasty and ignominious death. It is said by good authority, that the vilest sinner may return; so may tne vilest culprit reform, and there |s no method of punish ment that has ever yet been devised, which more assur edly conduces to that reflection and solemn meditation, which is always necessary to produce a thorough convic tion of error, and a true and genuino repentance there from, than moderate and steady labor by day, and close and solitary confinement by night; which b the plan now adopted in the penitentiary of the State. Un the score of expense, wo are of opinion that the aggregate amount of money which will have to bo paid by all the counties in the State, for the confinement of criminals in tho county jails, will be much greater than the amount of appropria tions by tho Legislature for the support of the Penitentia ry. Besides the expenses of the institution, arc gradually lessening under improved plans of management and op eration, and the probability is strong and brightening, that the labour of the convicts will soon defray all the in cident attendant expenses, and cease to be a burthen to the State. In every other State in which the experiment has been tried except in Georgia, the most beneficial re sults have been produced, and in many of the States, the Penitentiaries, instead ot being a tax and a burthen, are sources of considerable revenue. This then, is conclu sive proof that in tho matter of expenses, tho fault does not rest in the system itself, but in its improper and de fective management and execution. The act passed at the lost session, declaring the abolition of the Penitentiary mode of punishment. revives a multitude of old punish* ments unknown to tne young and rising generation and quite forgotten by tho old, and the wisdom of our Legis lature, hus thus left us much in tho predicament in which the Roman people weie onco placed by one of their tyrant Emperors, whom order to entrap his subjects and gratify his thirst for blood, wrote his edicts on tablets, and sus pended them so liigh in the air,that none could read them. Many of /ho punishments now affixed to crimes are un known to our Magistrates and Lawyers; others rest m the breast of our Judges, and tho whole of them aro scat tered in tho chaos and confusion of obsolete und antiqua ted laws, and have to be gathered therefrom by long and laborious legal research and investigation, which still leaves somo of them in perplexity and doubt In making this presentment of our views, wo would not impugn tho motives of the majority of the lost Legislature that abolished the system. But believe that they voted in accordance with tho wishes of a majority of their constitu ents. But after experiencing the practical operation of the old law,public opinion has been changed, and that it would now favor the ro-cstabhshmcnt of the late Penal Code. Wo therefore recommend and request our mem bers to tho next Legislature, to use their best efforts to procure a repeal of the law of the lost Session, and a re establishment of the Penitentiary System. Wo recommend to our fellow-citizens to meet on the first Monday in November next, to elect three delegates to a Convention, to reduce tho number of members in the Legislature to be held at Milledgeville on tho first Mon« day in February next, in conformity to the recommend* tion of tho preliminary convention which assembled in May last We deem it needless to say any thing in re gard to the measure of reduction, us the wiahes und sen timents of the people of this county huve been repeatedly expressed by former Grand Juries, and clearly, truly and unequivocally set forth in tho speeches and votes of our members in tne last and former Legislatures. We have examined the insolvent list presented to us by Robert Allen, Tax Collector of this county, and have al lowed him thereon, the sum of one hundred und fifty dol- The Jury present as a grievance, what they believo to be a defect in tne present road law, in the appointment of road comminrioncrs. The Court when in session ap point commissioners—the law allows the person appoint ed, ten days to notify tho Court of his non acceptance —the Court will not bo in session for six month thereaf ter, and in conscauence, the district is without a board for wx months, which may happen in the same way for years in succession. We therefore recommend the subject to the consideration of the next Legislature, that the defect may bo cured. In thus performing tho last duties required of our body at the present term, we would express our entire appro bation of the official labors of his Honor Judge Dougherty, and tender him our thanks for his politeness and atten tion to this body. We would also express our approba tion of the official conduct of Joncph Ligon, Esq. Solicitor General pro ten*.

WILLIAM VERONEE. Athens, August 17—33—41. Letter from Judge Wavno In a Committee of the cil izons of Savannah, declining their invitation to a public Dinner. Savannah, Jlugust 20, 1832. Gentlemen,-I thank you sincerely fur your kind and commendatory communication, “ of the approbation of my follow citizens, of my condtirt as n Representative m tiro Congress of the United Stales.” My efforts have bpen directed to deserve the confidence of all my constituents, hot it portion nfthem having mis apprehended the reasons and motives which induced mo to vole for the “ act to alter and amend the several nets imposing duties upon import*"—the approval of that vote by my lei low-citizen* of Chatham, Income* the more acceptable, and cull* for my wannest grati tude. Given n* it ha* been, by n community having nn enlightened apprehension of tho interest* of our county and our Hlnto, conver sant with llioir prdilicul condition arid connex ion, ttnd with Ilia he*! mean* of preserving them in unimpaired efficiency for posterity- sensitive of south, rn honor and of southern right*, und which hnvo hnd for morn lhan a generation, an uninterrupted associnlinn with the democracy of the nation, the approbation of my fellow-citizen* ofChaihnm, will bercceiv. ed now, nnd nl nil times, as a timely testimonial to shield my public course from iniecnnuepiion. I feel the favor, and ita effect upon myself shall he the industrious application of my time, nnd such nbility a* I may have, or shall ac quire, to the public service. You are right, Gentlemen,in saying, that ihe vote which you commend, exhibit* ntluchmenl to Ihe Union and my opposition to tho protec tive system. I knew there was among our- selves a justifiable excitement against it, and that we had complained and remonstrated, as a people and a sovereign State, (hat tho system wua unconstitutional, and unjuit in ita opera, lion*; I knew al«o, iftho last session of Con gress should be terminated without any modifi. cation of the Tariff, in some of those particu lars, which bore moat heavdy upon the ptanto. tion states, and without nn alteration to gradu. ate future revenue to the most economical anticipation of national wants—to what extent the excitement already existing in Georgia might he inflamed in the bosom of a warm hearted and patriotic people, operuted upon by the recollections of unrequited forbearance, and stimulated l*y tbe artifice* of an external j ambition, industriously seeking, and'whicb has been long contriving to convert the common sufferings of several Slates in one particular •—without a single other community of princi ple, which Georgians believe should limit the powers end legislation of the General Govor* ment—into onn political union party, fcf more remote ends than the redress of Southern grie vances. And this too—if the longings of that ambition shall have only indefinite hopes of gratification—without regarding tbe deeper- ntenesa of the remedy it shall propose for Southern wrongs,the permanent impress it may make upon our constitution and upon the char* ncter of our people, and its embarrassing effect^ upon anadministration. which is with us, avow* edly in the principle of reducing our impost revenuo into an entire equality of effect upon all interests; and jfn admi.iistrntioo, t» which Georgia is already more indebted, and is to’ be still further—more indebted, than to nifty other, since tho foundation of ftur Govern* ment. In tho existing etate of (hinge, I could see no courao as efficient to prevent the con* sequences to which I havo nllude.d, so prudent nnd fitted to advance the political andpecunia* ry interest of Goorgia, os thnt of voting for tho lesser of two evils, containing it is true, the protective principle, but against my consent, and efforts—which forever repealed the Tariff act of lS29-abolished the system of minimum!* as rule of universal application for the protec*' tion of manufactures, it being retained but in a singlo instance, nnd in that, without either the expectation or hope of the opposer* of freo’ trade that it will be permanent—which reduces general taxation seven millions—lessens the duties upon the protected articles and of south* ern consumption, three millions of dollars, and by which the great democratic principle con* tended for by Jefferson and hia coadjutors, forty years since, of bringing down national revenue to the nctual requirements of national wants, has been unalterably acknowledged. I did not vote (hr (he act of 1S32, either aa compromise or adequate concessions of reduc tions Of our imposts upon foreign merchandize. The first, constitution:!! obligation and opposi tion to the protective policy forbado, the other does not comprehend reduction enough in me* ny particulars to esinblish equal taxation be tween the South, the Wcsrnnd (lie North, and still much nguinst tho South. Repeatedly du ring the discussion I protested against the' principle and tho details of the bill—protested against either being considered the settled pol* icy, and stand pledged' by my declaration to wugo a ceaseless warfare against both,' until the one shall bn expunged from our legislation,' and duties shall bo assessed by rates operating fairly upon all interests, and not giving any sectional advantage. Gentlemen—I conseieotloualy believe, that the only allowable protection which can be given to manufactures, by the legislation of Congress, is that which shall be incidental front, a fittr revenuo impost. I believe ull the Tariff ucis inclusive of thnt of 1810, havo been unfair legislation in favor of tho Weal and North ngninst the plantation Slates. And that they should with a common energy and common: design ptiah by constitutional means, the advan tages which have been obtained end which aro favoured by tho condition in which the na tion will be, by an entire freedom from debt, into a retributive triumph of their constitutional principles and violated right*. Others and iliiise for whom I have, even affection, do.not look upon the prospect ns chcnringly aa I do, but I think and have acted in company through out with a largo majority of Southern poll* tirtans, who are distinguished, talented, and as determined in opposition to the protective principle na any one, and all of ihe small mi* imriiy fiom the South who voted against tho bill of 1832. Our effort* against it are not to cease, but we think, the first duly of an almost holy patriotism, is never to dexpair of tbe Re public. I beg you, Gentlemen, to allow mb to de cline the honor of the dinner to which you have invited me. I n Ihe present condition of our community, with pestilence hanging over our land and the near approach of that season when we are most liable to disease, we ere udmonished to avoid ull crowded meetings and’ festivities except such u meeting as tbe rod* mentous crisis, in the affaire nf our beloved country may call upon our patriotism to eon* vone. Should one be held, there will I be with my fellow-citizona of Chatham, to join in their counsels, and to luke upon myself that' portion of responsibility which the occasion imperiously urges evory citizen to aaiumo.
