The following lines by the Hon. Mr. Wilde of

them can scarcely fail to lie admired, and per

Farewell! my more than father land!
Home of my heart and friends, adieu!
Lingering beside some foreign strand.
How oft shall I remember you !
How often o’er the waters blue,
Send back a sigh to those I leave—
The loving and beloved few,
Who grieve for whom I grieve.
We part!—no matter how wo part,—
There are some thought! we utter not,
Deep treasured in our inmost heart.
Never revealed, and ne'er forgot!
Why murmur at the common loti
Wo part!—l speak not of the pain,—
But when shall I, each lovely spot,
And each lovod face, behold again 1
It muit bo months, —it may ho ycorj,—
Rmay—but no!—I will;iot fill
Fond hearts with gloom,—fond eve) with tears,
" Curious to shape uncertain ill.”
Though humblo, —fo-.v and far,—yet still, •
Those hearts and eyes are ever dear;
Thcir’s is the love no lime can chill,
The truth no chance nor change can scar!
All I have soon,—and all I see,
Only endears them more and more;
Friends coal—hope! fade—and hours lice ;
Affection lives when nil is o'er I
Farewell my more than native shore!
I do not seek or hopu to fin '.
Ream whore I will, what i dcplora
To leave with them and thoa behind !

A few days since the society passed a

The public seem not to be aware of the

orders of the Society. They assume to
themselves n power totally incompatible

W c sum-' time since announced that
if was in contemplation to form a society
f the Alumni of ihe South Carolina Col
lege, for the purpose ol'awakeningamore
active feeling in favor of that institution,
and promoting tho objects of i « estab
lishment Every one seemed impressed
•vi ■ h die importance of same such asso
ciation ; and bur announcement of it was
hailed with enthusiasm from all quarters.
On consultation, however, the friends of
ihe project ascertained that a more en
larged plan, bolli as to the grounds of
membership and the objects lobe nttain
, ed, would belter suit the deep feeling
now pervading the community as to edu
cation, the diffusion of knowledge, and
whatever any eievate the moral and in
tellectual condition of society. It was
immediately remembered that many of
our most intelligent citizens had entered
upon active life before the foundation of
the South Carolina College, many had
graduated in other institutions, and ma
ny had never enjoyed the advantages of
collegiate instruction, who were anxious
to co-operate in so noble and patriotic a
design. It therefore seemed desirable,
while uniting the alumni in a close bond
to their alma mater, at the same time to
concentrate the whole literature and
science of the Slate into one efiective body.
After a free and friendly interchange
of opinions among gentlemen of all par
ties—if parlies still exist among us—from
every portion of our State, a preliminary
meeting was held at Mr. M’Cord’s on
Monday last, which appointed a com
mittee, consisting of Win. C. Preston,
Alb art Smith, Dr. James Beckett, Dr. J.
M Cord, and 11. J. Nott, to prepare the
basis of a society. On Wednesday a
large and respectable meeting assembled
at Mr. Preston’s, where the report of the
Committee was submitted, and adopted
with some modifications. The objects of
the Association will perhaps be best un
derstood by the following preamble from
the Constitution, which ip a few days
will be circulated through the State for
signatures, viz:
“ We the undersigned deeply concern
ed for the moral and intellectual charac
ter of the State, which we would elevate
by fostering its institutions, difiii sing use
ful knowledge, raising the standard of
education, anil developing generally its
literary and scientific resources; and
especially anxious that its chief orna
men', the Soulh-Carolina College, shall
accomplish the ends of its founders, and
fulfil the just expectations of the people,
do, for the furtherance of these objects
constitute ourselves a society to be de
signated The S mlh-Carolina Society for
the advancement of learning,” &c.

i g Committee will be appoin
ted at .lie u xt meeting, to arrange the
debates of the society, on which of course
we can as yet give ho very definite in
formation. Among the topics mention
'll in co iversa ioa,were the Agriculture,
Health, St itistica, Geology, Mineralogy,
I traithnlogy, Natural History in general,
| E;hc i• ion, legal, medical, and academi
| cai, Historial researches. &c. Extensive
j as these subjects may appear, it is coo
reived that with the numbers and attain
m?nts that will be enlisted in the society,
.Il'ich can be done in each.
The present time is peculiarly propi
'ious for the organization of the” society.
| Capital is overflowing, and the communi
ty nappy and prosperous beyond exam
ple. After a long and bitter political
struggle, all seem to feel the importance
of once more uniting the whole energies
of the State on objects, which, while ex
citing a common feeling, will elevate the
moral and intellectual character of the
people, and leave enduring results. The
spirit and good will that reigned in the
meeting, is a sure guaranty of the zeal
with which the great objects contempla
ted will be carried into execution.
Another meeting will be held in a few
; days, the proceedings of which we will
in like manner lay before the public.
STATE RIGHTS CONVENTION.
The deliberations of the Convention
"ill be found in full in our paper to-day.
Part ot them were published last week ;
bat in order to correct one or two errors,
ami for toe sake of future reference, we
now publish them complete. Several im
portant resolutions were passed, which I
we hope the party will notice and act I
upon. The nominations are hailed with |
pleasure, and ue feel prepared to give
the ticket our warmest support. The
name of Charles Douhertv as acamli
date for the Executive chair of Georgia,
i.ill be greeted with a cheerful response
bv the party, in all parts of the State.
This gentleman is favorably known, and
his talents are acknowledged bv all—
friends &. flies. He is the politico ’ friend
of Troup—the genuine disciple of Jeffer
» ' -
son. His political principles are those
which prevailed in ’9B and ’99, with a
Jefferson at their head—and those of
Troup as triumphantly vindicated in ’25.
And where has he been found during the
late struggle for power and place ? Not
leaving his ranks & throwing himself in
to a favored party for the sake office; but
on the side of the States —battleing for
their rights and their sovereignty, and
opposing with manly independence, the
assumptions of power, the perversions ol
the constitution, and the usurpations of
of the general government. This is the
man the Convention has placed before
the people of Georgia, and ask for him
the support, his talents —his principles—
his qualifications so richly merit.—Wash

STATE RIGHTS’ NOMINATION.
We give to-day a detailed account of
the proceedings of the State Rights Con
vemion which assembled at Milledge
ville on the 15th inst. Our worthy and
distinguished fellow citizen the Hon.
Charles Dougherty has been nominated
, with great unanimity for the office of
Governor, and George R. Gilmer for
Congress to supply Judge Wayne’s va
cancy. It would be needless to say that
both nominations meet our most hearty
approbation.
The issue is now fully and fairly made
r up, for the decision of the people of Geor
' gin on the first Monday in October next.
( The question presented for their ch'ter
: mination is a plain one. and on its deci
-1 cision turns the point whether the char
| acter for republicanism which the State
has sus'ained aitherto. shall be its pride
and glory fur the future as it has been in
'imes past. The Executive Chair ol
■ Georgia lias never yet been dishonored
by an old federalist of the Blue light
. stamp, but the poisoned chalice is now
presented to the people, and although it
comes in the abused name of Union, we
trust in their discernment ami sagacity
to repel it with indignation and disgust.
They are now to determine whether the
destinies of the State for the next two
. years shall be committed to the hands of
Republicanism or Federalism—whether
. to Charles Dougherty, who has served in
her Legislative Councils for many years
with unsurpasssed ability;—who has
filled her highest Judicial office with a
dignity and firmness which were alike
honorable to the man and the State, and
of whose administration it may be said
with the most perfect truth, that “he
held the scales of justice with an even
hand.”—we say that the people must
choose between Charles Dougherty, the
native born Georgian, who has been rais
ed among (hem—reared up in their re
publican doctrines and in the knowledge
of their interests—and Win. Schley, an
old Federalist ! ! an opponent of the late
war!! an opponent of the Treaty of
1825—who has declared that in his opin
ion the Supreme Court has the authority
to decide upon the right of Georgia to
the jurisdiction and soil of the Cherokee
nation—can the people hesitate ?
From the Milledgeville 7 imes.
STATE RIGHTS CONVENTION.
This body assembled to nominate can
didates for Governor and Congress on
behalf of the Slate Rights Party of Geor
gia, adjourned on Tuesday last. ' The
action of the Convention, was (as we an
ticipated.) of an exceedingly harmonious
character, and evincive of that general
concert of purpose, now prevailing thro’-
out the party in this State. The mea
sures adopted by the convention for the
advancement of those principles which
we believe the only conservative ones of
liberty, and the best calculated not only
to preserve our civil institutions from
overthrow when atttacked, but to pro
tect them from assault are in our con
ception as judicious as could have been
suggested, and no doubt will contribute
in a material degree to our ultimate suc
cess. To succeed, needs but a united
and concentrated effort; direct the ener
gies of the party. Hie whole party, to car
rv triumphantly into execution the mea
sures recommended by the Conven'ion,
and if we fail, we have the proud con
sciousness of hnv.ng done our duly to
our co i: r . uiu. v in action, harmony
in pu: and eoeivry in elfirt, cannot
fail tvi o 1 . mant patriotism of
republic .1 Geor a, arm ier for the con
test, and win for her the victory over the
insidious Federalists, who seek to cast
her a bound and helpless vic'im at the
feet of the General Government.
To effect so desirable an object, the
Convention have placed in nomination
as ft candidate for Governor, at the ensu
in'.; Actnber election, in behalf of the
State Rights party of Georgia, CH.A’S
DJI GMERTY, Esq. of Clark Conntv.
\ selection every way worthy of the un
vidod and energetic sanction at the
■ ■ not only of the whole party, but of
hie whole people. This gentleman, when
on t lie bench, was the first judicial officer
of Georgia who presided over what is
now the Cherokee circuit; and was the
first officer of the State who practically
asserted the jurisdiction of Georgia over
that territory. He was the judge, who.
denied to the Federal Government the
power they attempted to usurp, by de
manding that the record in the case of
‘ Tassels, should be certified to the Feder
i al Tribunal, and claiming for the Su
i preme Court, the right to interfere with
1 the execution «f the criminal laws of
Georgia. This act it will be remember
■ ed, was proudly and nobly sustained by
the whole people, of Georgia; the only
dissentients to ilie course then pursued
by the Slate and its officers, that we re
collect, were some twelve or thirteen
members of the Legislature, and among
them (remember it, reader,) was Wil
liam Schley the present Federal candi- |
date for Governor, and then the advocate
of the Supreme Court of the U. States
against the authorities ol Georgia!
The same body have seen proper to re
commend to the State Rights party of
i Georgia, as their Representative in Con-!
gress to fill die existing vacancy, GEO.
I R. Gl LMER, Esq. of Oglethorpe countv.
.Mr. Gilmer is already well known to (lie
people jf Georgia. He has filled several
important offices with credit to himself
anil honor to the State; and we trust
that the effort we wish the party to make,
to place him in a station for which he is
so eminently fitted, will be crowned with
success.
The candidates of the State Rights I
party arc now before tho people. To I
them it belongs to decide, whether they i
will desert the faith of their fathers and .
unite with Federalism, Van Bureuism, i
and we know not what disastrous heresy i
and intrigue, in the support of Judge |
Schley; or whether true to the principles i
for which their sires perilled their lives, ;
and pledged their fortunes, and their ho- |
nor, they will rally around the Republi
can Banner, assert the sovereignty of
their own State, and place in the Execu- .
live Chair, Charles Dougherty, who will
sustain that sovereignty at every hazard.
They must decide in this election, wheth
er the Supreme Court is to direct the ad
ministration of our laws, and if they wish
a Governor ready to obey its insolent ci
tations ; or whether the courts of our
own State are able to administer its laws,
and if they wish a Governor who will
support and maintain the dignity and
lienor of the State whenever her rights
. may be invaded. We have now afforded
to the people a practical illustration of
our principles. The candidates of both
| sides may be looked to as setting forth
most clearly the doctrines of the conten
’ ding parties, and we must profess our
. disbelief, that Federalism has succeeded
in so corrupting the people, that they are
deaf to every consideration, that calls on
them to rally around the banner staff
which' their fathers planted on the field,
in ’76. and which has been, (until the si
rocco bl.tst of consolidation swept over
our land and breathed on too many of its
yeomanry,) the flag that has waved the
’ Republicans, onward to victory.
From the Columbus Enquirer,
THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
Our friends will discover that the Hon.
Charles Dougherty of Clark, has been
presented as a suitable candidate for Go
vernor of this State at the approaching Cali
election. There was a time when men
1 of his republican stamp could be and
would be elevated by the people of Geor
-1 gia, to offices ot trust and responsibility,
and no others could. A broad distinc
tion then existed, between the tifo great
parties that divided the union, and a man
( professing and avowing the doctrines of
: the old Federal school, so far from being
honored was scouted as an enemy to the
civil revolution of 1800, and of' conse
-1 quence to the principles of the immortal
1 Jefferson. There has been a change, a
fearful change, wrought by the machina
tions of'designing men in other States,
and all that is now necessary to white
wash the veriest Federalist in the land
even one who refused to rejoice at his
country’s triumph in the hour of conflict,
is to profess the moderate doctrine of uni
onism, and hurra for the hero and his
glorious administration. With men, that
look no farther into the bearing of events
than simply to discover whether they will
aid in a momentary party triumph, Judge
Dougherty can be no favorite, lie can
receive but small support from those,
who can look with composure on the
downward march of political morality,
and who are willing, yet longer, to trust
the great experiment of self government
to a set of office hunters; who, disregard
ing the safety of that experiment, are
rushing forward to itsultimate overthrow.
But will the yeomanry, the bone and
sinew ot the state, those who have, and
always must have the deepest stake in
the matter, stand by unconcerned,whilst
an able and honest man, one devoted to
Southern institutions and southern prin
ciples, is sacrificed to (he meanness or
the malice of a combination from one end
of the union to the other, whose peculiar
dirty business it is, to libel the merits of
the living, and blacken the memories of
the departed patriots of the country.
• That such a combination does exist we
fearlessly assert, and challenge its deni
al, even by the degraded vehicle of slan
der, known as the government organ at
Washington. Judge Dougherty then,
with all his amiableness in private life,
with all his purity in politics, withall his
distinction justly acquired in one of the
most distinguished professions of his
country, cannot even hope to escape the
calumny of a crew who feast on the blood
•( good men’s reputations. Georgia has
been made the catspavv of the wire wor
kers elsewhere, and all her generous and
ugh minded sons, together wbh like

It the people can be induced to inves
trate the claims of the contending cand -
dates, wi’hout reference to Gen. Jack
son’s or Mr. Blair’s preference, we have
nothing to fear. The citizens of this
State apt to do right when uninfluenced
by ulterior views, or carried away by de
signing men. They have been humbug
ed. until it L wel l nigh time for them to
wake up, and act for themselves. Minors
require guardians; but n really appears
to us that our State is of full age. We
shall see.
From the Columhm Enquirer.
TO THE PUBLIC. ,
The manner that 1 have been treated,
and the efforts which have been made by
some malicious persons) render a publi
cation of the tnatment towards me ne
cessary. When I left Savannah, on the
12th ot this month, I was wholly uncon
scious that my most malignant enemy
breathed the slightest imputation against
my honesty, but certainly no suspicion
of my having been engaged in robbing the
Bank at that place. lam proud to think
that such an opinion is not yet entertain
ed at Saiannah, at least among such as
know me best. 1 remained at Augusta
a few days, attending to.my business
there, & I do not think that any circum
stance could reasonably have excited the
suspicions of any one there. I attended
|to the settlement of Vny business in my
usual way, openly and without disguise.
1 left Augusta with the determination of
making a short excursion to the west, and
while on my route, in (lie stage, about 23
miles from Columbus, on my way to
; Montgomery, Alabama, 1 was arrested,
my arms pinioned, a pistol presented at
my breast, and altera short time I was
informed (hat an officer from Savannah
was in pursuit of me; that I was charged
with robbing the Bank. My feelings
were beyond description ; to be charged
with an offence of so high a character, on
the high road, among strangers, and told
that an officer from among my acquain
i tances was dogging at my heels, was
i painfully mortifying. I could scarcely be
i lieve that my acquaintances at Savannah
rai -,, laj | | n.- i, —■« .■■wiiaTM - i«uui ■
entertained such an opinion of me. I
was brought back to Columbus and knpt
in custody the remaining part of that day,
guarded through the night, my trunk and 1
person twice examined, and about 11 .1
o’clock the day following, while I was ’
patiently waiting an investigation, that I
might learn what act of mine or what re
mote circumstance could have subjected
me to so foul an imputation, I was dis
charged by order of the prosecutor. I
am still at a loss to understand where
fore letters have been written, my person
described, my name given as the indivi
dual who robbed the Bank. Among oth
er reasons, with the hope of.learning
some plausible pretext for my arrest and
detention, immediately after my dis
charge, I commenced a prosecution
against one of the individuals, and al
though he had a trial at some length, there
was not the first thing exhibited affording
an apology for such procedure. The in
dividual stands bound over to answer for
his conduct at the next term of the court
of this county. I feel that lam injured,
and beiore heaven I vow that if I can find
friends or law in this my adopted coun
try, that I will seek redress, and if I shall
be enabled to discover the lawless scoun
drel, whose malice or cupidity have ori
ginated the slander, I shall take great
pleasure in making it apparent that lie is
a man of feeling and sensibilty.
