[ Conclud'd.] a Well, ’Squire Waddle,” said lawyer Squibb, i. p,;, i- a grave and serious matter ot which you . been most fallaciously apprised, and which I t muriies tiie heart strings of every Georgian. Ivo all feel determined to do something to protect irselves Irom insults, and vindicate our injured ; ior. The only thing which remains for our con tention is how to act, as that the greatest amount [f rndit shall reflect upon ourselves individually, |;J at the same time best provide a remedy for offences in future. What do you propose, Ispiire, as the plan ? ’ "Why, it's a ticklish matter, and I recon we had [. tier go to work 'cordin’ to law, and lutve a mcetin* i the people. For you know, Mr. Squibb, as I Lvc beam you say fifty times, the People have a lijbt to do any thing on God Almighty’s ycath they lleasc.' •• Them are my sentiments, ’Squire Waddle, while | live; and when I die, it's my prayer to die with ,i m words on iny lips. Like the great and immor- lil Patrick Henry, l am always willing to * bow to lie majesty of the People.’ ’ " Fellow-citizens,” turning around to the crowd ho spoke •, “ fellow-citizens—it is my opinion, land l have examined the law, and can find nothing |gainst the course I recommend,)—it is my opinion hat tlie best plan we can fall upon at present, is to ave a meeting organized, nnd then we can better Irocccd to the business which I am proud to say, ~ called us together to-day. If you have got no Injections, we will organize. And as your will had hater he known fully, 1 will proceed to put it to e. Them that’s for organizing will say ‘ay,’ 1 them that's opposed to it will say ‘no.’” “Tlie‘ay’s’ have it by an overwhelming majority, quire Waddle, and I sec no cause why we should- kt organize tlie meeting forthwith. So if you have [< uo choice in particular, wc will go up to the touii-housc and open the discussion.” 1 The crowd moved mechanically towards the court Knee to hear tlie great champion of their rights ake a speech. A speech will always draw’ a crowd, [ matters not who the orator may be—w hat his at- tinments or natural ability. This love for speech- |:jiag and hearing inflamatory addresses is an ’ evil in our land which sliould be supprea- 1 by the patriotic and intelligent, lor it engenders ) useful liahit, and affords but little information to e mind, inasmuch as the orator himself is general- r so much the creature of passion, that lie is wholly apaciated for the important business of enlight- aing tlie understandings of the multitude, or dircet- &S them to any laudable pursuit. To this objcc- lon it is urged, that tlie people themselves are wil- ; to receive any tiling that is tangible, or are in- and seconded that lawyer Squibb same as Secretary today, and I know he will fill the aitivation with great credit to himself. Them that’s for lawyer Squibb will say ‘ay,’ and them that’s agin’ him will say‘no.’” The multitude shouted ‘ay,’ of course. “I pronounce lawyer Squibb ’lcctcd 'cording to the Constitution,” said ’Squire Waddle. "And now gentlemen, I hope you will all porearve atten tion while we lay before you the object of this meet- in’. We have come here, gentlemen, to sec what is best to do about this ’vertisment in the newspa pers which you have all hcarn so much talk about. For ef it be true, gentlemen, it ought to be looked into, and the evil remedied. But cf it ar false, why then, it is my opinion wc ought to make tlie author fuller for his libel upon a good, upright, religious State. Thar aint sicli a State as Georgy any where; and for that cvcrlastin’ ugly villing, Gamba, who used to be about these parts teachin’ our cliildrings, after gittin’ all our money out’n us, then to go off' ami forge up a lie and skulk about in Kaintuck, afeerd to show his ungodly lace hero agin—it’s too bad! nnd it’s what freo people like us aint a gwine to stand neither. We ought then, gentlemen, to take tlie lead, as we reckon ourselves os one of the oldest counties in the State; and I know tlie world will jinc in praising us, as the most sensihlest nnd bravest |icople on tlie whole face of the ycath. “ Hand me that |nper, lawyer Squibb, and let me read tlie ’vertisment, so thar can be no mistake. Take particular notice now, while 1 read it to you.” Ilerc the ’Squire read the paragraph noticed above, attending to every particular of the “’vertisment." “ The women of Georgia are very beautiful, and are much admired by tlie J’urks, who convey them to their Sultan as an ornament to his harem. The Sultan has not lefs than forty ol these beautiful women, carefully guarded, and whom he considers as his wives.—(See (Samba's Travels in Georgia. Paris, 1826.) “Now, Gentlemen,” resumed ’Squire Waddle, “ you can see at once without my tollin’ you, that this is a lie! Yes, by golly! a lie to all intents and contraptions!” Here the ’Squire was cheered, which excited tlie ’Squire a good deal, and in some degree disconcerted the arrangement which he had intended to adopt. “ Yes,Gentlemen, it is a lie! I, ’Squire Waddle, a Georgy Jnstice and chairman of this mcetin’ say— and what’s a great deal inure, I aint a feeid to say it to the world, that tho 'vertisment I’ve jist read is a /i-bel upon the people of Georgy. What! to go and write in the newspapers that we let our women get tuk off from us, and make no fight about it, and then let the Sultan have ’em by forty’s for his wives! And then jist to think who writ it! Why, who but that skulkin’ clodpolc of a schoolmaster, wluit used to live right here among us, a lamin’ our young 'uns their letters'. The miserable, ongrateful vil ling! But gentlemen, he cant escape us. The piper tells us whar he is—in Paris, up in old Kniiv is my opinion that the case would come off with a | up the attorney with “area] out and out knock- ’peared in the newspaper, and reckon ft must a bin great deal more eclat if earned into the United downer.” I gome iyj n > rogue what forged my fist to kick up a “ Gentlemen," said ’Squire Waddle, “I have beam ’sturfaance. If I only had money a plenty, I would lawyer Squibb from beginuin’ to eend, and haint go down to see you and 'splain all the matter to* discivered the fast word of argument in all his speech, please you; but I aint got but nine scholars, and tens; and as sure as there is a bright and shining Now I recken you all think its mighty fine, and well gits but foordollare a year for each on ’em, and gita orb in tho translucent firmament above us, and the von minht think n. for it, ■« at orlaatin' An. it mv mn in .

Yea! it will be a day long remembered and never forgotten as the fruits of tiiat independence and free dom of action which our illustrious fore-fathers fought for and won, upon the heights of Bunker Hill and the plains of Collodcn (.')” Here lawyer Squibb took his seat amidst tremen dous cheers. ’Squire Waddle, I have no doubt, was disconcert ed by the applause which his friend, lawyer Squibb had received. We are all to a greater or less extent the subjects of vanity, and hence we desire the ap probation of our fellow men, even though we may not really merit it This I lave no hesitancy in saying, is the result of an imperfect system of edu cation, by which we are taught in precept and ex ample, to overrate our virtues and underrate our faults. Wo are too apt to imagine that what ap pears contemptible in others, is really but little mo ment in ourselves, and what we consider as a highly meritorious act, and should therefore be lauded by tlie world when accomplished by ourselves, we re gard as a matter of very little consideration when done by others. But it is human to err, and I pre sume ’Squire Waddie might he pardoned for the uneasiness which he manifested when he discovered lawyer Squibh’s star |n the ascendency; for really if a speaker's popularity is measured by the rapping, kicking, stamping, and other uprorous symptoms of popular favor, lawyer Squibb was in a fair way to throw the ’Squire into the shade. It is not unrea sonable then, to infer, that 'Squire Waddle was dis pleased when he saw evidence of the effect which lawyer ’Squihb’s speech had made upon tlie minds of the people; for it was observed by lawyer Squibb’s vivacity of expression as he took his seat, that the cheering was a little more cordial than that which the ’Squire had received; and 'Squire Waddle seem ed to think that if not altogether more, it was “ an almighty sight more” than lawyer Squibb deserved. The two parties were evidently in a dilemma, for it was manifest that ’Squire Waddle was determined tiiat the cose should he prosecuted at home and in his own court, that ho might pocket the fees, while on the other hand, lawyer Squibb was ambitious of renown, and desired tiiat it should be argued in the Supreme court of tho United States. There was a pause in tlie meeting for the want of something to do, for it was evident that if the two sjicakers had blown out all they had to say ujion the matter, there would be nn enl to all inquiry; nnd I tuck. And I reckon he’ll teach school about tliar a have no doubt but that the whole affair would have few years, and then sknlk off to write some lie about been conducted very systennticaUy, and the attor- Paris and the old Corn-cracker State.” Thunders ney had tlie infinite satisfaction of having his name of applause followed this speech. Ithe newspapers as counselor for the plaintiffs in “ But, Gentlemen, I’m a gittin’ too much flustrat- » *«>* °f "lander against Monsier Gamba, of Paris, ed, and I will sit down and let my friend and coun- Ky.; but for his want of discrimination in hinting selior Squibb, have his say.” tiiat it was his determination, or rather inclination, Lawyer Squibb next arose, with all the profound to have the case conducted t» the Supremo court of sagacity of the learned jurist depicted in his coun- *ho United States. I say it was unfortunate that tenance, and as he looked around with that confi- lawyer Squibb did not go to work silently about tho dent air which was so peculiar to him, and then af&ir.and not subjected hiriself to defeat; for in carefully adjested his shirt ruffles, he seemed to say, *° accomplish his object of personal aggran- “ well boys, you may hnrra now, but I think vou disetnent, there is no doubt that be unwillingly do- had better wait a litUe, for by thunder, I can beat pri' ed his country of honors which she ought cer- that ‘ all to mash.’ ” tainly to lave won. Thus by our own imprudence, Fellow-citizens,” commenced lawyer Squibb; “I ora want of foresight that the means may be prop- have listened to our President with the most pro- erly adopted to the end desired, some of the bright- found attention, and I was very ranch gratified to «*» inventions have failed of success, and thoughts hear him express him-elf in tlie way in which be t,ia » » cre ° r imperishable excellence consigned to j did it.

It made a mighty scattering among ’em at fust, but they got used to it niter a while, and then they wonld stand and think nothin’ about it, no more nor if they did’nt hear the fust syl lable. Now lawyer Squibb’s speech ’stonished me a little, when he was a gittin into the partic’lars, and I recken you sorter thought it was an almighty sight better than any body clso could do; but I recken you’re sorter got like tho cattle—ryou’ro got used to it by this time, scnce you find out it haint so ever- lastin’ ’stonishin as you calkilatcd on.

(Signed) “ Robert Gamba. Sworn to, before me, this 12th July, 1843. Wilsob Turnabout. Upon the receipt of this letter, I happened to be at’Squire Waddle’s Post Offle, and was not a little omiiscd to seethe perplexity of the squire and law yer Squibb as they read it over and again, to see it' then- was not some mistake: surely Gamba would not deliberately purjure himself in that kind of style! “ Well now that’s darned curious any how 1 for a man to stick his fist to a thing and even tell people whar he can be found, and then to torn right round and say he never did it! Blast my gizzard cf I can understand what tho feller’s up to!” “But Squire,” said lawyer Squibb, “there may bo some mistake after all; and I recken we had better as much costs out’n him as any body. The ’speme ^ careful, for you see the fellow might come down court amt got nothra to do with it no how, and FU " us r * • w •mjietent to lay hold of fundamental truths.

But the crowd had collected and a speech i to be made, and lawyer Squibb, it was whis pered around, “ would be tho man who would do it [>p brown.” Aa soon as silence was in some de- ) obtained, lawyer Squibb rose and proposed that > meeting be organized by calling 'Squire Wad- ! to the chair, which motion was carried viva nice, 1 tlie chair duly installed. “ Gentlemen,” said ’Squire Waddie, “ I feel proud T the appointment, although it come upon me so xpected, like a clap of thunder on a sun-shiny by, that I don’t knowhow to ’scribe my feelin’s to |ou exact It’s a great honor, gentlemen, to act as |hairuun of a mcetin’, bat ft is at the same time a sponsible office, and therefore I always' foel tskward for fear of doing wrong.” “Oh, we ain’t afeeid to trust you, ’Squire.

They are a gain’ to see this matter to the end, and there is no back out about them. I would as soon trust them without a fee as with it “ But 1 want to bring yonr attention to the subject which we are about to present to you. I have said that this is fairly a slander case, and we ought to prosecute. If yon wish me to reiterate what the ’Squire’s been saying. I’ll do ft. In the first place then, to sum up all the (acts of the case— 1. There was one Gamba, who lived in Georgia, 2. He moved to Paris in Kentucky, 3. lie wrote a slander upon our people, called ‘Gamba’s Travel* in Georgia.’ Well now, what foirer case do we want, I’d like to know, than this t We can proeeccte and recover heavy damages oat of him, if the rapscalion is worth it. “These are the particulars of the cate, fellow- citizens, and if we move forwards in this matter, we shall get glorious honors. But yon ask if there are not some difficulties in tha wayt 1 answer there are none. I hare examined the laws of Geor gia, and find nothing to hinder ua in doing just as we The reply which was the response of the multi- please in this matter.

If ft ia your with I will cheerfully vol- : lived throo cheers toe the rondewoffoo 1 unteer my services in your behalf, and carry the “Well, I recon,” said a little fellow whom they | case up to the Supreme Court.” "ed Bill Johnson, “ that the lawyer over the way) Here *Squire Waddle interposed in behalf of his '■ Utter take the pen and go to scratchin’, for it own honorable court, and sahfthat he saw n® reason M eveiy day we can git sich a big turn out as. why the case should not be made in the Magistrate s | court. ^oUmkh,” Mid ’Squirt} Waddle,” ft h moved | “WelL felVnr-cifixens, even this will do. But it militate against his private interests, wonld in effect be a stab at the prosperity of the county, and in a just proportion would retard the advancement of the entire State. Now many may smile, and suppose it an absurdity that any man should be so much mis taken in his notion of causality; and yet it is per fectly consistent with human nature to judge the world by our own standard of correctness, however corrupt, vacilating, or imperfect that standard may in reality be. It was therefore a principle with ’Sqnire Waddle, that a proper valuation bo placed upon home industry, and any thing foreign, or out of toe State, or even county, should be put down by gpwral acclamation, even though there could be no comparison between the intrinsic value of the one Over the other. Hence, to think of abandoning the Magistrate's court for the Supreme court, simply because Mr. Gamba happened to reside in Kentucky, was an idea preposterous in the extreme, as involving questions of internal policy, and to aa alarming extent en dangering tlie inborn, and inalienable right of the people and ’Squire Waddle to do as they pleased But without taxing the reader with any farther conjectures, in reference to "Squire Waddle’s pri vate views, wo will forthwith allow the gentleman to speak for himself, and in his own way, aa ft is unfair to claim any credit for acute discernment, or go agin it neck or nothin. VVIat! must lawyer Squibb come dictatin’ to me what I’d better do ? No, by thunder! I’ll bust creation wide open, and knock tlie stare out of the atmosphere, before 1’U let any man tell me what I oughter to do. Whar's tlie man tiiat kin lick ’Squire Waddle, I'd like to know ?— Show him to me, and by golly! I'il masticate him like I would chaw up a chaw of tohaccy! Gentle men, I tell you what it is, I aint agwine to be fooled nor bamboozled out’n my rights. I’m a perfect wheel horse, andl’ll carry my pint cf all the Squibbs in creation was to be let down on me at once.” 1 iere lawyer Squibb arose and hogged leave to explain that it was not his intention to usurp the Squire’s prerogative; but that so fur from it, he was perfectly willing to retract anything which lie said offensive to 'Squire Waddle, or disreputable to the occasion; and wound up by offering a resolution tiiat the case be duly conducted in tlie magistrate’s court, which was unanimously carried, not leaving the ’Squire an opportunity of vetoing the bill as he lie had done on former occasions, when he had to contend against a majority. For ’Squire Waddle nlwayR considered himself as vested with a consti tutional power as President of public meetings to protect the interests of the minority himself. The business of tho meeting wns accomplished ; that is, ’Squire Waddle, who had called tho assembly to gether by public notice, had been duly authorized by public acclamation to pursue the course which his judgment and feelings might direct, which he had previously resolved to do, he tlie consequences as they may. The meeting then adjourned sine die, ’Squire Waddle Chairman, and lawyer Squibb, Sec retary. ’Squire Waddle was an indefatigable man, and therefore never yielded a point until fully satisfied of its fallacy, which was equivalent to nothing more nor less than a failure to realize a profit by any op eration he may have contemplated npon. Accor dingly the next business on hand, was tho best pos sible method of reaching poor Gamba. Now the ’Squire lad a full knowledge of tho feet, that in all hia catalogue of writs, he possessed none which was applicable to the case under consideration. He had never before been called upon to institute an action against a citizen of another country ; whom the law recognized as under the immediate province and control of the officers located for official objects. It became necessary, therefore, that peace should he made with lawyer Squibb, that the action should lie so instituted as to acquire a legal consistency. Squire Waddle had been at a loss to know whether a ‘li fa,’ a‘ca 6a,’ or a ‘noexeat* would bo tlie most advisable: but lawyer Squibb’s genius removed all difficulties at once, and a'writ of ejectment’ was forthwith trans mitted by mail, to the properly constituted autliori- tiy of tho State of Kentucky. I will not depict the look of astonishment which that worthy exhibited upon tho reception of a writ of ejectment issued by a Georgia Justice and designed to take effect upon a citizen of Kentucky! Gamba was soon apprised however, that there was a blow up in Georgia among his- old cronies, with refer ence to an article which it was supposed he had written, derogatory to the character of Georgians, and slanderous to a community of which he had been a constituent member. Of course a copy of the proceedings of tlie meeting had been duly sent to the magistrate of Paris, Kentucky, as just ground for the course punned, and the requirement that the unfortunate and nnofiending Gamba should bp ejec ted forthwith out of the State of Kentucky, kicked through Tennessee, and handed over into the State of Georgia, where he might be perfectly “comcata- ble” by the illustrious ’Squire Waddle and his coun sellor Squibb. But Gamba knew with whom bo had to deal. He knew that if the case became obstinate, ’Squire Waddle would be very apt to “take the responsibili ty” upon himself, blow up Tennessee, because she had “got in his light,” and convert Kentucky into the State of Georgia, pro tem„ until his object had been accomplished. It was therefore prudent in Mr. Gamba to take the necessary precaution to prevent aoaad a catastrophe. As soon as might be expected therefore^ the following epistle arrived at’Squire Waddle’s Post Office: Deer ’Squire Waddle :—I have beam from Squire upon us for malicious prosecution, cost and dama ges, or something of that sort. ' • ‘ Well may be you’re right. Squibb,’ replied tho Squire, ‘bat ef the feller does try to play that gamo on me, I’ll spfead clay over him efl gits stretched for it. I ain a gwine to be pestered with no sich varmints as that lyin’ Gamba.” At this juncture of affairs, I stepped op to tho very learned gentlemen, and offered to explain the whole matter to them if they would promise not to be in the least offended, or ashamed of themselves ; to which of course an assent was readily given. I then unfolded to them the astounding weeret that they had made complete asses of themselves—tiiat the Gumbo who had written the articlo which they Imd made sucli a “louse” about, was a native of Portugal, a traveller and historian of great celebrity, nnd that tlie “Paris” was not in Kentucky, but a great city in France, where the travels were pub lished in the year 1826. And furthermore that there was another “Georgia” in the world besides the one in which Sqnire Waddle and lawyer Squibb re sided—a nation of brave people lying eastward ot’ Persia in Asia. “ And is tiiat a fac and no mistake ?” asked Squire Waddle. (Lawyer Squibb had sloped.) “And so ’taint our Robert Gamba, nor our Georgy then 1” “ Certainly not” said I. “ Why, my dear air, are you no better informed in the geography of tho world than yon seem to be J” “ Well now I’ll declare, cf that don’t bust np my idees completely, thar aint no snakes! Know’d it! course I did, sir! Who yon think didn't know it ? I never know’d any tiling else; but its deuced funny how it slipped my mind so slick! Well Bob Gam ba, my bdj’, I never had any tiling agin you afore, and efyon was here now, we’d wipe out scores, and wash down with some real ginmvine old bald face.” From the AfonrMy Journal if Agriculture. ON THE PRESERVATION OF HEALTH. THE GOOD EFFECTS OF FEEQPEXT BATHING. With the mercury at 90 degrees of Fahrenheit; what can be more natural than to spend a few thoughts on the means oi counteracting the iU effects cf such excessive heat! And how can this be better dona tlian by ircquent ablutions of the whole body, so that every pore may be kept open, and free passage given to matter which the system rejects and would fain throw off by perspiration. We write in the full persuasion that lathing is too generally neglected in the country—either from want of thought upon its importance, or want of convenience lor its enjoy ment ; but with a little trouble such convenience might be provided, wherever there is a good pnmp, or yet better, where there is a copious spring of wa ter. The facilities sliould not only be afforded, but those who have charge of families should make it a point to see that they are availed of, by every mem ber under his control.
