necessarily excluded. UnrigbUous mam
it seem*, is ft great object in tbe view of
,'hcse divines; for after they feed and fleece their
docks some time, if they have the olferof a lit
tle more money in a college, or any other lucra
tive sphere, they leave their tender, blatant,
hungry lambs, to shift for themselves,jind clinch
•!u; cash. The impression of such men, is, that
a3 they have expended much money on their ed
ucation, they are, on the principles of justice, on
titled to a heavy drawback from the community.
According to popular opinion, orthodoxy is
completely monopolized by the wealthy, to the
exclusion of the indigent. “ The good shepherd
livcih his life for the sheep;” but “the hireling
tleelh, because ho is an hireling, and carelh not
for the sheep ?” It appears, in these degenerate
j s, t i, at the protection of the sheep depends
oa tl,’ e fineness and weight of their fleece. A
ponderous fleece will secure their piovision; but
a light one will doom them to perpetual spiritual
starvation.
Recently, a witness from the country, before
Ju.l"c Holt, was found to be perfectly ignorant
of the nature and danger of an oath ! A young
uiau in Soulh-Carolina, some time ago, was in
terrogated by a Gospel Minister, thus: “Who
redeemed you 1” This was a knotty question,
and of course required time, to furnish a satis
factory solution; hut, lifter some time of painful
mental exertion, he replied, “I believe, mam
mal” Very many characters of a similar des
cription might be enumerated; but those two
may sullico as specimens.
The unreserved devotion to this superficial,
unprofitable species of education, is thought to
be the efficient causa ofthc universal declension
of real religion. And this is not a novel opinion;
for the comparatively few regenerated college
bred ministers, confess its reality. The late Dr.
Kollock, of Savannah, in the first volume of his
lectures, exhibits “prostituted learning” as in
imical, perfectly inimical, to genuine religion,
'flic delightful contemplation of the astonishing
productions of infinite wisdom and power, in
the visible creation, expands and ennobles the
human mind abundantly ; and increases reveren
tial ideas ot the incomparable Architect of the
Universe. Such researches merit the attention,
and eulogy, of the most respectable, and pious
part of lire citnmunity. The language of an
eminent Divine, on this very subject, may hero
be appropriated with propriety—“ God forbid
that wo should open unhallowed lips in abuse i
of them. We consider them as highly ornamen
tal and useful, and therefore, instead of con- '
learning, hold them in great esteem.”
The living languages, although, in point of i
utility, not worthy of a comparison with the '
sciences, afford some satisfaction, as they on- ,
able men to converse, and transact business
with their neighbors, who perhaps aro unable 1
to converse in any language except their own.
But this comparatively trivial satisfaction, is nut ;
attached to dead languages, which the impar- >
till part of the learned, pronounce unprofitable. 1
To tost their inutility is perfectly easy; bu! to .
exhibit t!ie extent of thoir injurlousnoss, is beyond 1
the ken of human sagacity; for their remote, and
intricate effects, us have been hinted above, may
bn perpetuated beyond the limits of mortality. ,
By the credulous and ignorant, a knowledge i
of those celebrated languages is thought to con- !
mimic an infallible foundation of urbanity, mo
rainy, and religion; but the fallacy of this con
million is rendered obvious by a critical observa- 1
tioiiof the frequent deportment of such asema- *
nale fioni scats of learning. Young linguists, in ,
college, occasionally exhibit their literary refine- i
m ait, by depredations which endanger life, and 1
destroy property. Many of them pay no utten- |
lion to a useful F.nglish education; hut this omis- i
S'oaisnot material, especially if they can be so
fortunate as to dignify and immortalize their
tunics, by ilia commission of murder in a mag
luminous dunk The outrageous conflict, which -
took place between the linguists, Smith and Jof
furies, was probably never over-balanced, in
point ofbrutality, by tho most bloody monsters
ofthc irrational creation, in the wilds of Africa.—
The time consumed in pursuit of a shadow,
would be sufficiently long to enable youth to ob- ,
tain a substantial education, which would afford
private satisfaction, enliven devotion, enlarge
tho sphere of usefulness, and inslrumetitally fa- 1
Hlituletlic consummation of temporal and eternal
felicity.
Tho intrinsic worth of learning is too profound
to ho fathomed by human comprehension. Hut
the study of dead languages, according to the
opinion of impartial learned men, is perfectly
unprofitable; and in return for tho long lime, and
touch money consumed, nothing is obtained,
except ridiculous, vain glorious pomposity. If
Ilia srmJtorcr can call a cat, or monkey, by a
Lot in or Greek name, ho is forthwith inflated
with the idea of sustaining the character of a
prodigy of profound erudition.—The undersign
ed bags permission to exhibit one quotation,
which, it is hoped, will attract attention, and cor
roborate this communication. The following
sentiments emanate from tho pious and learned
Hector Scott:
‘'As to languages, what folly to dream, as
( ramc do, of great wisdom and honour to be found
oi learning them! For, what is language, hut
words, or sounds, by which xvc communicate
ear lltounlits to one another? If these words or
sounds had the power, like charms, to brighten
ear wits, or to better our hearts, this language
■lumgery would be a noble speculation; hut, alas!
instead of making us xviser, these learned lan
guages often make us greater fools. For, allow
|!,8) 'hat after an experience of five years, and
01 at least us many hundred pounds, a young
has learned enough to give his horse a Latin
' C' o D
“took name, what mighty advantages does
ke d rive from this pretty art of nick-naming
f >o 1 s creatures? Does it teach him any new
’■leas relative to tho nature and qualities of a
Imran. Or can it furnish him one useful receipt
ln farriery, or a single rule for the better manage
end choice of that noble animal!”
Concurrent testimony, from thfs greatest scho
“ir ; , and best of men, might be adduced, in abun
dance; but numerous quotations would protract
this communication to an inconvenient length.—
T" speak or write in opposition to the languages
tndex inspection, is to enrage and astonish r.
numerous, giddy multitude; but the discerning
'uid >mpartial^unitedly, accord with Dr. Scott on
vubject. Ignorance anti-prejudice, in eo-op
erution, have imposed many ponderous calami
ties on the human family; and among them all,
an idolatrous, superstitious attachment to the
dead languages, is not the least.
Candor is all that is necessary to remove this
shameful, expensive burden from an oppressed
community; for, if tho injured would speak im_
partially, in this matter of controversy, the study
under inspection, would forthwith bo abandoned
with aversion; but literary pride would protest
against such an humble declaration. —Tho evils
which result from tho study of Latin and Greek,
arc numerous and groat; consequently, it claims
tho attention and opposition of every good citi
zen. We find, on investigation, that by -this
study, vanity is abundantly increased, useful
education ncgloetod, much money expended,
tlie ministry corrupted, and tho Christian religion
seriously injured.
The undersigned is not unaware, that perhaps
nine-tenths of his readers will reward him, for
his labor of love, with vain-glorious insult; hut,
nevertheless, he has tho satisfaction of the co
operation of the most pious, judicious, and learned
men of the civilized world: and, moreover, some
are of opinion, that the censure of vain men “is
extorted praise.”
As your paper merits and obtains prompt at
tention, and has a vory extensive circulation, it
is hoped, sir, that this communication will be
favored with publicity in its columns.

recommended to the enterprising, by nm
•J peculiar and eminent advantages. It
is situated at the head of Steam-Bout

and is the natural, us well as nccdstonied

The place is abundantly supplied with
excellent water from mnreroas never

Town; and from past experience, maybe
regarded as unusually healthy. In ad

resolution of the Legislature of (South

We may therefore, with the utmost
confidence, pronounce that no place in

for enterprise, or an opportunity for so
profitable an investment of Capital. The

particularly invited; of those who have
no capital, and wish to acquire it; and of

DEX to the whole. It will be some
tiling like a continuation of Prince's Di
gest, noting the Laws in said Digest re
pealed or altered. It may be observed,
that the Legislature of Georgia arc in
the constant practice of repealing, al
tering, or amending Laws passed at their
previous sessions, so that, without such
a Digest or Compilatior of them, us is
now respectfully oflered to the public, it
actually requires a lawyer, or a person
who has de voted much lime to the exam
ination and comparison of the dillbreut
enactments of each succeeding session
ol tin* Legislature, to he acquainted with
all the laws which-are of force: And
having witnessed with much pleasure,
the immense public utility and populari
ty of the Digest compiled by Oliver 11.
Prince. Esq., and also having no dutihl
bat a similar Compendium of the Laws
from the time of that publication down
to the present, with the addition of the
precedents, or forms, which will he plac

greatly to the public utility of Iho work,
and to the furtherance of Justice, would
he very useful and acceptable to the pub
lic, the Compiler has ventured upon the
arduous and important undertaking.—
However, not relying altogether on his

I have examined “A Digest of dm laws of

tended as a continuation of Prince’s Digest, and
is, in my opinion, well calculatod-tu answer that
valuable purpose. Although the author is not
professionally a Lawyer, lie seems, in ascer
