SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN. AVI have read with much pleasure, in this a lie a: id independent |iaper, (vvitich thus gives aJJ.'ti.

Wo won d suggest to the editor, tire propriety, | in discussii ig great principles, of avoiding allu 'usionstoo 'll parly differences, which can tend to no posal Me good, and, by embittering old strifes, and t ucouraging old jealousies, at a time when the hoi; or and interests and character of tlio State, call loud for harmony and unanimity, may do much s. irious harm. Charleston Ei' ening Post. —Wo re-publish tile •commentary, whi ch our remarks on a former ar ticle in that paper have called forth,as it conveys, in better language i lian we can employ, its opin ion in relation to th.s several controversies with tiio Federal Govern .Dent, into which the Uvoj States have been dragged by the strong arm oi .oppression. In our pobey concerning the Indians, ( y.’e profess to have been governed by caldera i.ona puicly domestic—and to have consulted,at •ione, onr own advantage ; an,( yet if the remarks of Mr. Clay, of Alabama, ‘made on the presenta .tiqp—by the ex President Adams —of the New- York Memorial, in favor of the Indians—we should say aguinstGcorg’m—are to be received, Ids own stiife and Mississippi, are deeply interest ed in our question, on account of the Indians resi lient within them; consequently, the success ol .Georgia,!’! liei Indian policy, will extend to those states. 15 it, we claim no merit for this, *s it will he ; me-ly a i;onting;snt consequence, which had no influence upon i;s in the adoption ot our policy; and wa scorn ta take merit to ourselves tor any benefits that oqr success may confer upon our neighbors—when to confer these benefits, was not amongst the original motives of our ac ■non. It r, not for us to say whether our sister -tate has been influenced m assuming her staini against lhe Protection System, on account ol the benefits which her success will certainly cons •non tljjq wbolo Stautb. She will bo fully justi tied b / the oppressions, which she is eudeavorin. tollir *vv ofiTroni herself. * * * It it very true, that the doctrine of Nullifie.. ’•on I ms not been fav'orably received in Georgi ■ ind abroad, it is said that we liave in sevei nisi nines nullified vvithoutjnuch ceremony. * * ’ ”6 understand notdnly \Wrat we mean, bu; v. ]>e reive vvejiie understood by Olliers, when vv f a y we will not submit to an unconstilution iaw ofCongress—vve will not obey the usur ho *han<jjate of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, when he calls us into his august presence I* °r\V' tn * >u,lu ' — t() bear an argument that : whole State ofGcorgia is but . ..art of the ae ot Georgia. Upon such an argument, t not only has counsel been heard, but the “most t righteous judges" have sustained the claim—and . thundered forth their mandate. We have de i j‘ aro< * we w °uld not submit to such interference, it remains to be seen if, before this affair is ended, we shall be understood here also. If this i a9 our Carolina b elhron say, Nullification is, 1 wo certainly are Nillifiei B . I Iho State ot Georgia has,on several occasions, solemnly declared lo the country, that she would su k ,l lit to the Protection System. The Slate . <it Soutli C iroltna has made a similar declaration. Here ourobjectis in common: and on this g ound St least, wa may safely meet in sui—>ort of a common cause; and that must command respect, so long as the actions of those wlio achieved our common independence, are held in honored re membrance. Iho time cannot bo distant, when it will become necessary for those who have de clared their determination not to submit to the iniquitous exactions of the protecting system, to fulfil their pledges, or forfeit all claim to the re- j : sped of their oppressors. If Carolina and Geor- I gia should differ as lo the mode of redress, they } certainly agree as lo thu necessity of such re-1 dress; and whilst they are in accordance on the i . main question, it is to he supposed that no snb- j ordinate point will interrupt their harmony.- We shall veiy soon republish an article which con-1 clustv-oly proves that Mr. Jefferson is the father ; of the doctrine of Nullification.” MACDOXOUGH JACKSON!AN. Well done, f.iend Minor ! “ Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” There is more i real independence, love of truth, and pure pa- | triotism, in thy little sheet, than in hundreds of those larger, but less meritorious, cotemporaries, spread over the land, who purchase a factitious importance and deceptive superiority, by a sa crifice of independence and the liberty of the press—and then strive to soothe their conscien ces, and blind the eyes of the people, by malt- J ing a continual .parade of preUysenti-mcnts, and 1 a boast of virtues which they know the value of, j hut dare not exorcise. “ Vi.tue is praised, and 1 freezes—Vico is, censured, and flourishes ” so j, it is said—and, when we look at this little paper, 11 and its uniform honesty, uprightness, and inde-1 1 pendence, and compare it with those large and J j pampered ones, which ever follow in the wake ‘ of party, party leaders, office holders, and of- 1 flee seekers, and echo their self interested sen- 1 i tmiontE, without during to a .eak or think for , themselves, verily, so it would seem. LA the I reader look abroad over the country, and he will I see that the papers apparently most prosperous j and flourishing, arc those sustained by party and , parly-men, or which live upon Government pa- 1 tronage, and, regardless of all principle, cry 1 ■huzza for Jackson, or Clay, or Van Duron, or soine-o'.hor.political loader, who holds the pmsc- t strings, or | ower, or patronage,!.! the country in ' his hands, or is expected to bold them, by do- * foatiug those in | ower, and seizing them as “the | sooilrf of victory’ —while those who dare to be . honest, and to judge fur themselves of their own * rights and liberties, and the acts of their public agents, are marked out for proscription, perse- | tuition and abuse, by those in power, and those « who itouo to obtain power, by courting and flat- * toring ’those who-have-it. What it reflection up- ;i on the character of the country—upon its Repub- i llcan institutions, and its boasted “ freedom of 1 speech” & “liberty of the press I*’ And will hot j the people look to these things ! Can (heyheso r •blind as not to see their tendency to the coi ruption \ & destruction of every principle of liberty, it the < substitution of the worst tyranny, oppression, it J despotism? And wilt they not arouse themselves ( in their might,ore it be 100 Into, and assort then - i ri-htsahd privileges, their freedom of opinion and I freedom of speech, <fc make one last determined ! struggle for the purity and perpetuity of their j institutions, and the honor of their country—dis- i regarding all mere names, or cthciid dist.nc- f ■lions, and looking to men, only as the means of j promoting principles, heedless ol all personal , or party preferences or prejudices. liy this course, alone, can the liberties and in stitutions of the country bo preserved; for he must bo blind, indeed, who does not sec that they are far gone in corruption, oppression, and tyranny. And never do we feel so much plea sure in the hope of their renovation, as when we ■ see any citir.cn, and particularly any press, how ever humble in influence Cr station, throw of; the shackles of subserviency to party, power, lor perverted opinion,and ho :>t the banner of lib { city, principle, freedom of speech and of the press, and reform of existing abuses. Such was (he pleasure wc experienced at reading the fol lowing interesting .article of the Mucdonongh- Jacksonian, and which caused us to utter, in voluntarily, those expi cssions of approbation of its independent editor, with which wo set out. — Mr. Minor is an old and infirm man, with a very largo family, and entirely dependant for the means of supporting lima i, on the emoluments of his little j aper, which in pi luted by himself and the elder part of his children. And yet, in the spi rit of gcnnliio tiuili and honesty, and in the face of a deeply misled and prejudiced public opin on, ho has dared to risk Ins all, and his chil dren’s all, in thu cause of liberty and his coun try and with the conviction, that it will call down upon him the charges of traitor and rebel, and the unmeasured abuse of the ignorant, the prejudiced, and thu selfish—the wilfully wrong, and the Ii onestly deluded. Worthy old man ! Wc hotte r thee, from our inmost soul, which yields to thee, unhidden, more homage than it has ever felt fur the great, the lofty,or high horn, or than ever could be drawn from it, by oil the office-holders and office seekers of that great sink of political iniquity and corruption, the Fed eral city ; for thou art “a man— and all are not men, that bear the human form.” Thy little obscure press is a living satire upon hundreds of these around it that arc virtually sold to men and early. Let them read this article of thine, beam ing, as it does, with truth, intelligence, and the unsoj histicated spirit of liberty; and while they inwardly acknowledge the correctness of the rinciples it so plainly and forcibly illustrates— for we have seldom seen them more strikingly md intelligibly set foith—blush at an example, ■■hich, however they may approve, they dare ml imitate—and at (lie honest indignation a gainsl their federal and monarchical doctrines, . of a paper, which,however inferior in mere sac titious appearance or impoitaace, is infinitely their superior, in the great essentials of a free press. We recommend to those who accord with tiro principles it advocates, to patronize this paper; and in doing so, they will not only enable its worthy editor to enlarge and improve it, but will aid in lightening the burthens which press 100 heaviiy upon his ago and infirmities. It is pub lished in Macdonough, Henry county, by Ik W. Minor, at two dollars per muuun, payable in ad vance. Wo will very cheerfully receive and for ward subscriptions. “Reserved fiiffhls— XitlllJUctitioiL. —That there I should ever have been a doubt in the mind of an American citizen, us to his privilege to act and practice upon his reserved rights, is si line thing unaccountably strange tons. If the God of all wisdom will extend that forgiveness to ns, for having once hesitated upon this subject, which he sometimes extends to frail mortality, wo pro jin iso to hesitate no wore. Strip this question of I the mystery and sophistry which have been j thrown around it, and it is neither more, nor less ] than this, viz : Have the people a light lo obey i (he constitution, in preference to an uncnnstilu- I tional, void law 7 For it can no longer he disput -led that the consolidation party,or latilndinarians, have been earnestly engaged in persuading the I people that w hen the constitution is presented to them tor their ohsen unct, on the one hand, and an -unconstitutional act on .the other, that they uro -b rand lo choose the unconstitutional act. And this vile slavery—this debusing hote i sy, the Federalists endeavor to cram down the I throats of thoughtless men, by telling them I that they have no right to jndgo whether their reserved rights and undeiegated libeilies have been taken from (hem or not. Most de grading, anti American principle! To these mean-spirited, slavish-hearted Federalists, ouri proud constitution is a perfectly dead letter. They are willing to admit that tiro constitution limits and bounds, in a most cautions and jealous manner, tbe extent of the authority of Congress and the S. Court, but still they say, that if these tribunals should over leap their limits, mid ih ow chains around the people’s nocks, tire peo ple have no right forjudge ofit, hut tnnat sub mill Dy what fatuity has this unspeakable ig norance —this very form and image of slavery, been infused into the hearts of fr eo horn Amer icans? To unfold to the view of living men fte great arcana of natu.e, were an easier tusk,than 1 to furnish a correct answer to this question.— Thus far r.halt thou go and no further, says the constitution to tire Supremo Court—pass not an inch over the lines lest you tread upon the reserved rights of the people, who will resist you—your act being void, and without a shade of obligation or virtue in it. Go as far as you please, say the Federalists to the Supreme Court fur, although we hive told you how fur you might go, yet, it you say you will go farther, we will submit; wo Iraveno right lo judge anything id the ease.—May the Father of Mercy pardon and forgive all onr friends who have been be trayed into the support id this Algerine slavery. And in a special manner may ho enlighten tire understandings ami fort by the hearts ol those who have hoitu'bewitched into a willingness lo stir ender all their rights anil liber ties, Imih gov einmeri'al and natural, lo thu frail fiat of seven him s oftnTn tality, and worms ofihe dust,perch ed u ) in a nook, in one end of tiro eapilol. WII solemn y declare, that wo n ill, at all times, ender lire t nest, strictest obedience to this rio eitiicns of the Supreme Con: t, in all raises whore they have the right lo d,rloi iitino tiro subject; ami this wo will cheerfully do, whether vve ‘tnay happen to think the decision just or unjust; fur some tiihunai must decide certain questions, and if that is the Supreme Court, their decision must he obeyed, lint when they nsm p author ity, assume ju isdiclion, and decide upon a subject, that tbe pcoplo knovv is constitutionally with held from them,their act is vonl, dse words have j no meaning, and reason Inis lost its force. W hat, were llie use to limit the Supremo Comt in the constitution, if they vve e to he allowed all pus- | siblo latitude in practice? It any man says that j this eon. I -il; lo be the judge of the extent of i's| own powers, he is a slave in his ‘burnt, and a fool j in his head. We have heard many cm ions tilings, lull none more so than the declaration _ some-1 times riiadt, that-the people have no right to | judtte what is their ligld,—that it belongs to the j Supreme Court to deteimiue that matter* So, i then, all our privileges, according to this theory, ; our eating and drinking—our waiKing % aini talk ing—our lying down and gelling up privileges, the right of locomotion —the i ight lo enjoy any reserved right—and the very right to know what is a reserved right; a : H are lobe giaciom-ly per-j milled tons by this creature of our own crea tion, the Supreme Cuu I! We unhesitatingly averlh-it the doctrine oflho Federalists reverses natural reason, common sense., and the obvious meaning and positive declarations of .the eousli tiitiun. The framers of the constitution said to Congress and the Supreme Court, 'vve hereby give yon those lew certain rights; the balance vve retain; touch them not. Isut since that time,'Congress and the Court sa; to the peoj In, this balance, these retained rights you speak of, you do not understand. Gut ot Ibe powers you have given us, we will inform you what you may retain. They go darther, and say to the people, bow down your heads in suh mission; vve have you fast in chains, because, as .von thought proper togive ns certain specihod powers, wa w-PIl p w decide, that ;!1 possible power is mount. This vve do by what is called construction. Such of your reserved rights, good people, as wo «ay you enjoy, take to your selves; but such as vve forbid you tonne, you shall not use; as you have no right to say what you have reserved, and what you have not. Thus, then, instead us the people saying to Con gress and the Supreme Court, you shall go so far, and no further, they say to the peoide, thus far may you go and no farther. Instead ot the government deriving its powers tioin the people, vve are told that the people derive then powers and privileges time the government We now ask onr readers lo decide for tin m sidves, whether there is the least appearance ol reason or good sense in the attempt “1 the I ed eral parly, anil the Union party, as't is called, to piove that an unconstitutional act is "1 higner obligation than the constitution itself? And that such an act must be chosen in preference lo the constitution? M e hold that no republican no American, can honorably maintain an argument with one who insults him by asserting that fie ought voluntaiity lo become a slave. FOR THE A•’ *• UISI A CHIt'J.MCLf . ESSAYS ON USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. NO, 1. The world, Ot part of it, is probably fist ap proaching that slate Os rational education, which will influence them to scrutinize the wilt ’ ty of every subject presented for consideration, and to reject such as have no practical tendency. Credulity and fiction, if man advances any thing in the scale of useful improvement, must give place to demonstrative truth—to truth ol j a beneficial character —that will have an apph ! cation to some nselul purpose, in elevating the I character of man, and in rendering his condition j more comfortable and agreeable in life. Vt fiat j ig really useless, is not worth the study or pur : suit of a reasonable being, j Fiction leads to superstition and credulity, -1 which have been the greatest hindrances lo ’.he 0 }’ oil vancement of civilization, in all ages. Tin e study of it, therefore, is not only useless, bu positively nefarious to the temporal happiness o 0 man. It discovers to ua no practical losson,—il ; lays open to us no new truth, —nor valuable in a struction for tiio conduct of life. • li In a republican form of Government, all a>on, e or a largo majority of them, will be, and ought • to bo, under the necessity of earning their bread. . In a judiciously formed Government, there ought - net to be otto idler. In many, yea, in most in stances, we find, that prudent application, and unwearied attention to business, for many long ' years at our lives, often fail to exempt us from ] necessary toil, in old ago. Youth is sanguine, , and often expects to realize the loudest dreams 1 ot happiness The wildest fictions arc,indulged. Mill disappointments thicltun at every Wage of existence, and fancied visions of permanent bliss, f ate displaced by the end realities of human life, i Grey hairs, old age, and cares, will advance up * on r.s, in spite of idlo cariosity, or of lime mis spent in the contemplation of fiction. Those . will bo best prepared for (lie reverses of fortune, , the sorrows of old ago, and for all the inflictions ol pain, who have most usefully employed thoir time. To see a yourii, throwing awry his lime, on I the reading of novels and utlior unprofitable hooks, and spending early years, in idle amuse ments, reminds us of the hattorlly, that thus from one flower to another, and pleases itself in 1 a flower garden, mid when winter comes, has. laid up no slock, either el'knowledge, Or of food/ i upon which il can feast the mind, m body, duiing. j the dreariest and darkest season of animal life. It is the first business of man, to secure a com petency ; but, induing this, every one may have time to gain more or less usetV.l knowledge, which, so far 1 1 <Hit letardiug.wiJl inevitably tend to j roinoto lus acquisitions of propuily. Useful knowledge affords, aisn, a positive pleasure. Il is pleasant to us, to ho as well, or better inform ed than those around us—to understand things of width they arc ijnorant—and to have within our selves, materials for pleasing contemplation. That the mind will ho forever engaged in thought, is beyond doubt. And if not directed to objects ofusefiil knowledge, will invariably fix' itself, upon things of a less noble char; ctor —il not upon the most low, vulgar, and debasing themes, on which the mental powers cun act. If is certain, that a l men, including all classes ol society, will think. Their thoughts will bo ei ther for good, or for tvil, and their actions will ho performed accordingly. It is, therefore, of infinite importance, that our thoughts should he employed on useful objects, ft is just as easy, with a little Paining of the mind, for it H> think on subjects of useful I’hilosophy, as on the speed, of a horse, the iptalilies ofli pint's, or the merits of tiio last novel, or | oem. so too first instance, substantial pleasure, will he combined with the utilities wftlie subject reflected on. In the hitter, the pleatisuro will bo exceedingly transient, and' unattended with any practical or useful result. I A man who employ x his idlo lime (for all have j some idle moments) ii> the acquisition of useful j knowledge, not only feds a durable pleasure, I but become- - , in eveiy sottsu of the word, a motet exalted and useful being. Tim lover of fiction i can only fuel pleasure hidwclf. He acquires I nothing that he can com 'jtimicale to Olliers. | The language of novels is not the language of | practical life, ami when repealed in convortm -1 lion il beeomea ridiculous. ho can tell the I tale of a novel to another') Who would bo silly I enough to boar it repealed! What advantage j could it be, if communicable, either to flic hear* | or, or the rdialer? None—noiv. whatever. Then :i novel or 'fiction reader, cannot increase tho pleasure of others, nor comniiinicutu any thing that will be of the least advantage to them, in their ordinary pursuits after the comforts of i life. Not so with the man engaged in the no- I cumulation Os useful knowledge. Ho is con | stantly learning ti nibs which not only give him i 1 pleasure, hut exalt his nature, ami render him I a more useful citizen. He can always imparl j his stores to others, without losing any thing , I himself, and thus, by communicating his know i ledge, increase the r plecsuroS, and improve I I their advantages for'earning a support for iiii vanced age. He not only lives for himself, but | , ‘ for otliers around him : ai d every .improvement | 1 he makes in useful knowledge, is So much ad ded, to the general stock of comfort and happi- J ness. Neither docs ihe utility of his discoveries, . cease with liis life, hut descends to the latest pel -1 tcrilv: and geßcraCions unborn will-bo destined > to reel and esteem the benefits of them. Al , j most every action ha performs, while he exists, l j may bo attended with highly useful effects u, on ■! the community of which he is a member —and with agreeable satisfaction to himself. If ho ; walks into a garden, he can bo able to tell the f! gardener bow to improve upon the cultivation -j of plants—how to sow and to reap—how to ’■seise* the best seed, and to increase the quanli .* iy and quality of vegetables for the table, like f goes into the fields, lie can suggest to the fur ■! mer, the many advantages he can derive, by ’ ' employing moi e perfect implements of liushan t ; dry—can impart to him the insult of invcsl’iga ; ■ lions into the best method of imp oving and ol '' re i ing stuck—and ran point out the best means 1 ' of making durable fences, gates, Ac, II in: i trolls into the vvoik shop of the mechanic, he ) can tell him the host method for the hardening ' and tempering of steel—of the best preventive!, against lust—-and of the best kinds of Wood for - certain vvoik. He can point the stone-cutler to , i the best quarries of marble an j of granite, and | show bun plates of laboui-saving machines for , woi king them. He can conduct Ike miner to tin , best beds of iron ore, and show bun how to con t struct Ids furnaces fin imparling the gi oatr.nl heat, l He can also point out to him the best manner nl it moulding bis ware, so as to give it the greatest firmness and durability. He can carry the per-, c celain manufacturer to the best clay, ami the i, "lass manufacturer to the best sand, and shew i them plates of the best implements for conduct - ing their operations. He can curry the diuggis and dyer to the best plants and minerals for lb, cure of d.seares, and for giving beautiful am e pcrtasticnt colours to fabrics, lie can, ia short, ip ! instruct tho bleacher, the weaver, the baker, the it j printer, and add to tho importance and sucne.r; jf of every mechanic art;—which ato all indispensi it bio to the comfort ami civilization of man. Eve i-; ry branch of useful knowledge may -bo made to foci tho benefit of Ins 'researches. Indeed, the i, applications and advantages ofusefiil knowledge it are so many, and so diversified, that they aro 1. past onunreralion. Cun the same be said of lic it ticious knowledge, or tho dreams of the ima* i- gillation ? J Useful pursuits, have never benefitted K by works of fiction, nor would they be retarded i in their progress, were all tho works of the ima , gination in tiio woild tr 'isappear. It may ho s said, that all have not time to road works on . useful knowledge. Wo would simply ask, if f sit oh road any at all? If they can find lime to , road any thing, it is just as easy to read useful books, us to read those that are worthless. It . takes no more time, and very little more money, . to read a useful work, than it does to read the i venost trash. Tho ditlerenco of profit, tiowev* , er, between the reading of tho one, mid of tho s other, is immense • and will-not bo felt, by the r man, alone, in alibis subsequent Walks of life, but also by the community in which he lives.— i A man, is not accountable to himself alone, for . bis iniprofiilablc reading, or idle-dissipation, but to bis f lends, his neighbors, his country, and Ins i tied. And he has il fully in his power, to make i liimsrll . itlier-nsHul oi worthless to society, uc , cording to the manner in which he improves his lime. j' iffkie< l iii. | ■ChatCi'.rstoN April 30.
