AUGUSTA. D * ~ ■ MONDAY NOVEMBER 12, 1821. r ~ ■ i Accounts from Milledgeville, inform us that Governor Clahk was re elected '* ,j y 8 mß jori ty of two over Colonel Troup*; the votes being 74 to 72. I J Under the circumstances of the case, all that we esteem ourselves warranted in > saying, at the present, is, that we regret j this result with a leeling as deep as it is j sincere. , Matthew Talbott, of Wilkes, was re ,j elected President of the Senate; and Da vid Adams, of Jasper, Speaker cl the J House of Representatives. 3 Owing to the very great excitement 3 which the election of Governor had pro n duced, no business of any consequence r had been taken up during the past we k e in either branch of the Legislature. i i - —» <g> o~— We promised our readers, on Thursday, a communication from “ Surrey;” and we feel the highest gratification in being able , to make our engagement good.—Of i course, we can say nothing that could : have a tendency to designate the author; —and for that reason, whilst we would i not attempt to forestall any judgment 1 which the years knowledge or discrimin lion of some, may entitle them to pass, we would beg leave to invite the attention of our young fellow-citizens to such pieces as may from time appear over that signa ture. That which we now present, forms the first number in a series of versions he has made of the Spanish, Portuguese and Da lian Poetry. For our own part, we think an unne cessary degree of attention has been paid, (slight and uneven as thal attention is,) to the Ancient Languages; and that in every instance, an unjust preference is giv" en to them over modern literature. There is the less necessity for this entire exclu sion, as the numerous lians'atois of the Greek and Latin Classics, have to a de gree sufficient for the purposes of utility or of taste, collated the spirit of former times with the genius of those in which they lived; and have furnished for history an eteinal standard of comparison, with out which circumstance could not be dis tinguished from accident, and the whole circle of nature would be divested of the signification which the name should at tach to the thing —This extreme reve fence for ancient times, we must to a cer tain extent learn to discard, for the preju dices of education are always hurtful to true knowledge. Popular opinion, in this respect as in many others, is like the Sum mer’s Sun in Nova Zembla ; no shadows are cast at its rising, but as the season ad vanccs they grow to an indeterminate length, until the winter twilight comes again and buries all in one deep and mys terious and undistiiiguishable gloom. Besides, even on the score of Etymolo gy, this exclusive attention to the antient languages, is faulty in the last degree— We certainly owe as much to our Saxon ancestors in that point of view as we do to the Greeks and Latins ; and we seem to forget that wc are indebted to the former for almost every name that is in familiar use among us, and to the different appli cations it may have in all the wants and purposes cf life. In the next place, we believe that the languages of the south of Europe, have an attraction peculiarly their own. Shakes peare has somewhere said that the human voice was the best indication of physiogno my ; and that it becomes as it were, “ a parcel of the mind.” In the same manner we may say that the different inpicalions of national character, are best made knowr by that dress of thought and mode of ex pression, in use, among the different wri ters. Thu dead languages supply the general terms of science; the French of ■ conversation; the English of business; ' but the Italian is one, which has melody in its very nature, luxury in the feelings it i conveys, and a peculiar wantoning cf lan- J guage, in the expression of every idea, ; whether it regards things existent or un. , real, created or imaginary. k To coucludc, wc would say, that he who 1 wishes to obtain a complete view of human • nature, under its vast variety of forms, • should pursue the study of modern as well 1 as ancient literature; and in particular, that ; the young person who is desirous of knowing all that is mean in vice, and noble in virtue, should keep upon the very n same shelf, the Histories of Rome, by Livy e and Tacitus; and that of the Italian Re -0 r public, by Michiavel or Guicciardini. But, as it regards Literature, divested of the • spell which politics must always cast around it, we do not know that Altieri, or ■h Tasso, or Dante, or Ariosto, will be found m in the true standard of Taste, to sink by at the counterpoise of any production which 8 - the I.atin ages have ever offered to the view and consideration and acceptance of g ‘ mankind.

His great work, the Lusiad, has been done into English by Mickle, and a few of his minor poems translated without much fidelity, but with some beauty of vcrsifica : lion by Lord Strangtbrd. His Lordship has been little solicitous to pieserve the style and spirit of fits author, and the strong resemblance which his , translations I;—nr to the certain productions of the great lyric poet of the age, called down upon them the following censure, in English Bards and Scotch Reviewers: “ Strangford for shame 1 thy pilfered harp restore, “ Nor teach the I.usian bard to copy Moore.” In spite of these faults however, Lord ■ Slrungford’s little volume was lather a fa vorite with the public; and we must our selves acknowledge the pleasure we draw from his collection of poems, before we were qualified to judge of their resemb lance to the originals. Indeed, the fatal difficulty of the Sonnet in our rugged and intractable tongue, over which no one has yet completely triumphed, almost forbids the hope that the beauties of Italian or Portuguese poe try can ever be successfully transfused in to tile English language- S metliing per haps ma) be done, and something has been attempted, by the employment of ryhines having a double termination, which bring us one step nearer to the original; but these often carry with them a little of the ludicrous, and have been naturalized in graver and more tender poetry, only by the genius of Prior, Moore and Byron.— Nothing is more obstinately national and idiomatic than the structure of versifica tion The introduction of Greek and Latin rhythm into English poetry has long been the “ fond despair” of classic scholarship ; and blank verse in spite of all attempts to the contrary is still alien to French and Italian literature. The sonnets of Petrarch and Garcillasso, perhaps, can as little be transfused, with all their delicacy of shape and hue, into any of the languages of the North of Europe; and the very attempt may be s folly. But as even copies from a beautiful Camko, may be valued by those to whom the original is inaccessible; let us hope our faint and feeble imitations may contribute something to increase the pleasure and refine the taste of our coun trymen.
