State Rights.—Tho nullifiers claim to be the ex
clusive friends of State Rights, and yet their loaders
in Congress on all occasions when called upon to
act on questions involving the rights of tho States,
an; found fighting against them. During the pres,
cat session of Congress but two questions have aris
en (on which a direct vote has been taken,) of this
character ; namely tho Bank, and Mr. Clayton’s me.
mortal in the Senato, in behaif of the independent
nation of Cherokee. The course of the nullifiers on
the first question is well known—their conduct on
the last has not been so generally placed before the
people.
If is well known, that tho removal of the Chcro-
kccs west of the Mississippi, has been and still is a
favorite measure with tho President. Ho was on
the eve of effecting a treaty with the delegation, now
in Washington, for the attainment of this desirable
end, when tho coalition, always bent on frustrating
the views of the administration, interfered ; and tho
result was a memorial of the delegation to tho Sen.
ate, claiming protection of the government, and
urging their claims as a free and independent nation.
Mr. Forsyth moved, that the memorial bo not re.
ccivcd, unless those parts should be expunged which
auert tho national independence of thoso Indians ;
which was lost! And will it bo believed by the re.
al Stale Rights men of Georgia, that the nullifiers—
the pure, incorruptible, exclusive friends of the
rights of the States, voted AGAINST Mr. Forsyth’s
motion, and in favor of the DISMEMBERMENT
of tho SOVEREIGN State of Georgia !
The Qrdeai The Millcdgeville papers of last
week contain the answers of the gentlemen nomina
ted by the Nullification Convention at Millcdgeville
in December last, for Congress. It seems that a
copy of the confession of faith of that august body,
was forwarded to each of the nominees as a “ test,”
l>y which to try their fitness for the office to which
they were nominated. We wait with much anxiety
to sec how the replies of some of them will take
with those who have declared that they would sup.
nort no man for Congress who would not “ stand
up to tho fodder,” and swallow down the whole
doso, drags and all. Four of the eight have, heretic
like, refused, in accepting the poisoned chalice, to
swallow more or less of its contents; and one re.
jects it altogether. Wo were somewhat amused with
the confessionals of the nino victims arrayed before
the dread political inquisition, and would be glad to
lay them before our readers, but their length forbids.
We will attempt to give an abstract of them, how.
ever, which may not prove unacceptable.
On accepting the poisoned chalice, Dr. W. C.
Daniel of Savannah, without on emotion of any
kind, drained it to the bottom.
M. R. Lamar, Esq. swallowed tho dose at a single
draught, with but a single emotion, and that was his
lears, that if elected, his ability would net cquil his
fidelity, in d»mg justice to the ingredients which
composed the mixture.
General Daniel Newman, in his great desire to
swallow the dose, choakcd and strangled at a terri
ble rate. The presentation ot the cup seems to have
"verwholmod him with “ grateful emotions, which
could not be expressed by his feeble language.”
George R. Gilmer, Esq. (Alas! that he should
huvo been found in such a situation) accepted the
cup, but stoutly claimed the privilege of swallowing
j ist as much of its contents as ho deemed desirable.

all hands were raised ns a signal, that the
proposition was acceptable, and their pleasure,
speaking countenances evinced their sincerity.
The new seats were prepared, and all was
arranged before the next Monday morning:
each scholar then took his seat in silenc ;
and that evening, when the whisperers were
called upon to report themselves, not a hand
was raised in acknowledgment of disobedi
ence ; and so it has continued, with very few
exceptions, to the present. Now, this was a
very simple plan; any teacher might have
thought of it; but there arc many who probably
never have, for the plain reasou, that they
never have given their minds to the subject;
never dreamed that there could he any im.
provements made in the present mode of edu.
cation. Many interesting facts might be ad
duced in proof of the assertion, that if a
teacher will but give Lis mind to the subject,-
he will become interested in his employment;
and if he is interested, his scholars will be-
come so ; but time and place forbid more at
present. My design in relating the above,
was only to sav, that the teacher’s happiness
was very much increase^ by this simple in-
vention and its results. At first, his mind
was interested in observing the effects of this
plan ; and when he saw how salutary they
were; how much his scholars were really
benefited, it excited a deeper interest, and a
stronger wish to « spend and be spent,” in
the cause of education. A. B. O.

MR. B; F. STEPHENS*
PROFESSOR OF PENMANSHIP,.
R ETURNS his thanks to tho Students of Frank
lin College and the Citizens of, Athens, for
the liberal patronage he has received since his arri
val at this plate. From his long experience in tea-
ching this important art, he flatters himself that he
is prepared to give general satisfaction, as his system
is very much approved iu different parts of the United
States, where lie has taught. This has been attes
ted by good judges of penmanship; but he dooms it
unnecessary 'to introduce many recommendations
from individuals or schools, and wilt only say that it
is a complete system for business transactions, both
for gentlemen and Taidics. Many learn to write
splendid hands in the course of a few hours. He al-
so teaches pen making by nils and system.

manship under Mr. B. F. Stephens, and judging from
the improvement already tnado, feel ourselves author,
ized in recommending him to the public as qualified ,
and skilled in teaching (hid important branch of
literature, and we think his system die best we are
acquainted with for business transactions, either for
gentlemen or ladies; and do therefore recommend
Mr. Stephens to the patronage 6f a Iiber.il public;
his deportment whilst among us being strictly moral,"
and his attention to business unremitting.
