Viou* to hi* election, and which waa absolutely paid out

Now what relianoecan be placed upon such a writer 1
Who doth believe hia report? And yet, the prcssca
reporting Mr. McAllister re-publish all over the State
these article*, and are endeavoring to make tho people-
believe them I Never, bolore, were there such bare
bced attempts to deceivo!
But the people must not be deceived, and for this pur-
•ose, w* will mske a plain statement of facts in refer-
aoce'to the Poor School Fund—and the fund for tho
payment of Teachers, in 1842 and 1843—of which this
writer appears to know nothing, relying upon his ima
gination for h is facts.
8 The Poor School Fund was distributed in l814,tothose
c ountie* that made Reports to the Executive. “Pinoy
Woods,”|as ho appears to know so much, ought cer
tainly to have known this. Ignorance, he cannot be
charged with. And his omission to mention it, we
must set down as an intentional ono, in strict keeping
with his other efforts to deceive and mislead the peo
ple.
But the debts due the TEACHERS for services ren-
dered in 1842, and 1843, is quite another aflhir. These
are to bo paid out of the proceeds arising from the
granting of reverted land*. It was in October last,
that these lands reverted—but it was not until tho grant
fees got down to 9500, that a single lot, of the late re
version, was granted—and but one lot si that price was
granted. No fund of any considerable amount was real
ized until the 1st day of July last, when the foes wero
reduced to 8100—but previous to this, the Governor
reasonably anticipating that a large fund would be in
the Treasury, after the 1st day of next September, when
the fees will be 825—issued an order, which was di
rected to the Trustees of the Inferior Court of each
county in the State, calling upon them to furnish him
with the amounts due the Teachers, whom he proposed
to pay off on the 22d of September—this being at as
early a day as he could possibly pay these accounts.
And we are pleased to say, with the fund already on
hand, and what will bo paid in on the 2d September, he
will be able to do so.
As for his having these accounts previous to Novem
ber 1844, it ie all fudge. “Piney Woods” asserts what
he knows nothing about, or wilfully misrepresents;
But if he had, they could not haye been paid off with
out the means, and for the means the Governor is in
debted to WHIG LEGISLATION. Why, lot us ask
this writer, did not the Democratic Legislature of 1842,
appropriate the proceeds of the reverted lands, to the
payment of the Teacher’s demands 1 We will wliis.
per it in his ear, as we do not expect an answer; It
was because they cared nothing for the Teachers, and
nothing for the poor whom this worthy class of citizens
were laboring to benefit. All their acts go to prove the
fact—for they had previously deprive ! them, by their
legislation, of every dollar almost that bad been set
apart as a Poor School Fund. In 1839, they gave it all
to the Central Bank, but took care to reserve to the
University of Georgia, its share. The College'
where the wealthy could send their sons for instruction’
was provided for, but the POOR were most heartlessly
deprived of what was religiously set apart by our fore
fathers, for their advantage. Shame upon such con
duct!
We will notice one more attempt of “Piney Woods”
to deceive, and then leave him "in all his glory” to be
dealt with by the people. He quotes from the Public
Laws of 1843—page 44—section 5th, the following to
sustain a position which be assumes,
“The Justices of the Inferior Courts of each county,
shall ascertain the amount due to teachers of poor chil
dren in their respective counties, for services rendered
in the years 1842 and 1843”
And here in the middle of a sentence he stops! Why-
—to deceive as usual! But we will give the whole sen.
tence, and then briefly moot the point which he pre
sent*.
“That the Justices of tho Inferior Courts of each
county, shall as soon as practicable, ascertain the a-
mount due to the teachers of the poor children in their
respective counties for services rendered in the year
1842 and 1843, in strict compliance with the act assented
to on the ] Oth December, 1840, regulating that subject,
and report the same to his Excellency, the Governor,
who shall cause the same to paid as soon as practicable
out of the proceeds of public lands, that revert to the
State, which paymehts shall be made by the agency of
the Justices of the Inferior Courts in the several coun
ties."
Why did not “Piney Woods” quote the whole of the
sentence! Why did he garble1 Was he afraid that
a reference to tho act of 1840,, (the act of a Whig Leg.
i*latur'.%) providing for the education of the poor, would
be referre'd to! But be this as it may, we will let it
pass, and iu reply to his query of Schoolmaster (who
will pardon us if we anticipate him) state—that GoveR'
nor McDonald know of the existence of these ac<
counts, but while recommending the State College, hi
hi* message to tho Legislature, to their protection and
patronage lie did not think proper to remember the poor.
Hereafter, if necessary, we .shall again refer to this
subject.
Since writing the above, we have seen “Piney
Woods’" last number in Ihe Constitutionalist of tho
7th inst. We must give to 1C special notice, as much
as we dislike troubling our reao'“rs with his sinuosities,
hie “bendings in, and his carvings ojt.” But our reply
must be as brief as wo can possibly ma.be it.
To his remark that thi* paper is editen by another,
than ouraslf, we can slalo to him that we assume its
conduct, and whatever appears under Ihe editorial head
we are responsible for. It matters little to us though,
to whom ’Piney Woods’ attributes the articles in reply"
to him—lnt him deal in fools, and ho will have no cause
complaint,
His position in relation to the Public Debt he reas.
sorts. We havo alroady explained this subject to our
trader*, and with them wo arc content to leave it. But
onr antagonist quotes from tho Report of Messrs.
"fliLUrs,Kenan and Meriwether, wo will call,hi*
attention to tho following from the eimo Report, and
then let him scttlo the question of veracity to be deter
mined between us.

Stats." f
Now. the two Aral month*, November and Decem
ber, of the first quarter of the year, the Institution was
not in charge of the present Keeper, Mr. Redding. It
was under the control of General Nelson, and the Com
mittee ray, that “the lose arose exclusively in the first
quarter of the year.” Mark that, ‘Pinny;’ and mark
also, what they say about the remaining three quarters,
when it was under tho charge of Mr. Redding! It, say
they, "SHOWS A PROFIT UPON ITS LABOR
FOR THAT TIME OF 86.744 52." These are
facts, which all the “wiring t'n, and wiring out” of poli
ticians cannot disprove.
But “Piney Woods” ventures a little furthor in his
assertions. He says that,
“I had aaiorted that the Whig legislature of 1843 exceeded
in expenditurea Ihe Democratic legislature of 1842,458,162.
I'hia statement, likewise,the Georgia Journal denies. Itit
would not be trespassing ton much upon the columns of a
newspapor, I might hava published every appropriation made
in 1842, and in 1843, that the public might judge between us.
1 refer those who have double to the public laws of (hose
years—and they will find my assertions correct.
Now, we will accommodate “Piney Woods,' as he
does not wish “to trespass upon the columns of a newspa
per;” and wo will show to what a different conclusion
every one else must come that examines the Public Re-
cords. But before we give the items, wo will state that
“Piney,” in a previous article, figured in this wise.—
He puls down the expenses and expenditures of the
Democtatic legislature of 1842 at $169,055 00; he
then affirms that the Whig legislature of 1843 exceed
ed that amount by 858,162 00! And when a different
showing is made by tho Whig press, he coolly says that
he does not wish “to trespass upon the columns of a
newspaper," or ho "might have published every appropri
ation," but that upon a reference to the public laws,
they would find his “assertions correct.” Well, we will
do what this writer neglects to do. We will publish
tho expenses and appropriations of the Legislature of
1842, that the roader may seo how very far “Piney
Woods” has missed his mark. Here they are !

Hero is a mistake in ‘Piney’s'figuring of $56,992 07!
A mere trifle, though, wo preauinp, if it benefits Mr.
McAllister, or elects a United States Senator, or ef
fects any other good for the party ot which he is now an
active member!
It is useless for us to say more ; we have exposed
the bold attempt to deceive the people, and cheat them out
of their votes, and in so doing, will leave “Piney
Woods” to bo dealt with by them as they, in their
judgment, think best.
“C LI N C H THE N A I L.”
In the above, we have shown what were the expend!
tures of the Democratic Legislature of 1842, to wit
8226,017 07. Now we will "clinch the nail,” and
show how largely the expenditures of the political year
1843 under Governor McDonald's administration, ex
ceeded those of the political year 1844, under Governor
Crawford. The Legislature of 1843 appropriated, to
pay arrearages due by Governor McDonald's adminis
tration, the following sums:
To pay the debts of the Penitentiary, $32,000 00
To pay arrearages chargable to Con
tingent Fund, 15,000 00
To pay arrearages on Military Fund, 3,000 00
$50,000 00
Add this $50,000 00 to the $226,047 07, and it
makes $276,047 07, which is the actual expense of
Governor McDonald’s political year 1843.
Then deduct the $50,000 00 from “Piney Woods’ ”
estimate of the expenses of Governor Crawford’s polit
ical year 1844, and it will leave $177,217, making a
difference of $99,830 07 in favor of Governor Crawford
What a difference! In one year, $98,630 07 saved
to the State, by the economy and good management of a
Whig Legislature and a Whig Governor ! These are
some of the fruits of which we boast, and if we mistake
not the character of the people of Georgia, they too, at
the ballot box, will show, that such conduct merits their
approbation.
ALABAMA ELECTIONS.
The election news from Alabama is from a few coun.
ties only, and those Whig counties. It is probable that
Gen. Hilliard (Whig) is elected to Congress. The
returns are much the same as they were in November
last—neither party gaining or losing much.

aHPRiapcTtM
Sir:—It is usual with a polit* poopkt, to welco**
the arrival among them, of rtspectsble ■(Rutgers, and
to tender them the civilities of social Ilf*. 1 would con
tribute tny mile to perpetuate this laudable custom —
and to add another instance to the admitted hospitality
of tho community in which we live.
Tito last number of tho Federal Union, announces
■ fiat it,"-ha* changed hands"—and contains a summary
of the moral and political uodo, by which its course will
te directed, under ihe guidance of the gentlemen who
have succeeded to tho abdicated chair editorial. How
ever puro may bo the motives that have prompted the
undertaking, they will booflen painfully romindod.thai
thorns are interwoven with the flowers, with which fan
cy sometimes decks tho seat they have chosen. Am
that, like the bed of Procustes, if it does not fit then'
they tuny be subjected to tho torture of being forced t
lit it. Yet in promising “the bearing and courtesy i
gent lenten,* in the conduct of the discussions into whic.
wo shall be necessarily drawn,” they havo givon a nobl
pledge to tho public, which their reputation is security
will be honorably redoomed. A firm adherence loth
resolution, in practice, will constitute an era in tl
history of the Journal of which they are now proprh
tors—and to gentlemen of theirerudition.andquickner
of apprehension, I need not suggest, the happy influent- 1
on Ihe political literature of the day, it is calculated 1 t
exert. Regarding this course of public utility, 1 chee
fully subscribe tu this articlo of their creed, and wfi t
every possible disposition to emulate so worthy an e.
ample, I wish them success in their undeavors toco -
roct the licentiousness of tho press, to elevate tl t
standard of its morality, and widely to extend the the •
tre of its usefulness. -
But if I have found much to admire in the exposilit t -
of their moral code, given by the new Editors of ti. •
Federal Union, I am forced to digsent from the poll ■
ical dactrincs it is their purpose to propagate, as we
as their manner of defending them. The imputation t
odious tenets, easily refutable, and made for tho pur
poso of being refuted, is a stale artifice, unworthy c
intellectual men to employ. The public mind is not*
easily satisfied. The people, who are intelligent, an
though not all lawyers, aro accustomed to inves
tigatc the profoundest political subjects, do no
conceive that argument is refuted by confident as
eerlion—nor facts established by evidence, disproved b
bold denial. Yet this is the kind of answer, (rcasonin,
it cannot be called) to which the Federal Union is driv
en for want of better—to the array of facts before th
people demonstrating the wisdom of the present Admin
istration; and which disprove their truth as little a
does the testimony of “old Ezekiel Polk's bones," tha
have been subpeoued by the Federal Union, to give cv
idcucc in its cause. Which, by the way, is rather a
ominous co-incidence; disclosing the fate pending ow
that cause, when the grand inquest of the people slta
pronounce their solemn verdict on its merits, in Oclt
her next.
I havo not leisure, even should the inclination exist
to follow the Federal Union through the mazes of it
declamation, issuing like “rising columns of smok
from the creative brain” of its Editors, with whicl
they attempt to darken objects too luminous for the
vision, if allowed to remain in the pure atmosphere t
light- The task, like some of their own periods, woul.
be labor without end. To one or two prominent point-
I shall for the present, confine my strictures. Wit
“many shows of Beeming” fair, they admit a perfet
equality of patriotism, and intellectual qualification-
between their Candidate, and Mr. Crawford—and wit:
this concession, affirm, “that the people must look t
their political principles, for their guide,” in selecting
between them. I mean to surpass them in candor, whei
for the sake of argument, I admit a supposition so con
trary to fact, as intellectual equality of the candidates.
I will, then, suppose fur a moment, Mr. McAllister tu
be equally possessed of the essential qualities for a
good Governor; that he is patriotic—devoted to. and
identified with, the interests of Georgia—and having a
reach of intellect equal in all things to Mr. Crawford.
Yet does not the Federal Union depart from its affected
candor, when it concludes from this, its own statement
of the question, that tho people should look alone (o
“political principles,” as the criterion of fitncBS, to di
rect their choice? Are not works to be taken into llte
account? What avails the possession of abstract, the
oretical principles, be they ever so sound, unless their
utility has been demonstrated by actsl These gentle
men, learned as they are, need not he cited to the au
thority which declares, that “faith (or principle?) with
out works, is dead"—of no efficacy. But admitting the
tosition to be correct, I desire to be informed, what
jotter criterion of sound principles can be produced,
than their salutary effects, flowing directly from the
operations of the government they influence ? If, there
fore, all other things between the candidates be equal,
as is conceded—if the scales hang evenly balanced,
inclining neither way,—ought not the mind attempered
to justice, or desirous of safety, ta throw into the seal*
of Crawford, tho good deeds ho has done for the State,
and let their weight decide the question of superior
claim? Hut tho friends of Mr. McAllister insist, that
tho people sliuuld give him their confidence in udvnnco,
and take him upon trust. They stand sponsors at the
christening—and promise, and vow, in his name, tha’
he will do wondrous things, if elected Governor. Bc<
sides, that the people of Georgia iiave proved, by bitter
experience, itow iittlo reliance may bo placed in the
promises of democratic candidates, for the office ot
Governor, I ask, is there any mind so dark, any Geor
gian so ignorant, as r.ui to perceive the glaring absurd
ity of opposing a supposition, which no man can prove,
to facts which prove themselves ? The people of Geor
gia are urged to brand Mr.Crawford with the mark ol
their displeasure, to turn him out of an office he has
managed to their satisfaction and lasting benefit; and
they are modestly invited to elect Mr. McAllister; tu
entrust their destinies in the hands of a man but liitl-
tried, of doubtful qualifications—and whoso officia"
conduct, so far as tried, has hitherto escaped censure
only because it has passed without notice. Lovers ot
their country aro incited to prefer the imputed good in.
tent ions ot Mr. McAllister, to the admitted equally
good inteiUions of Mr. Craw-lord, backed by a series o:
wise and comprehensive measures, that have improved
the condition of our people at home, and elevated the.
character of our Stale abroad. With a degree of folly
that nothing can account fur, short of party phrenzy,
they are gravely exhorted to reverse a homely, but
time honored maxlin, practised even by children, and
aro advised to throw away the bird in ham), tor one in
the bush! It is impossible that an intelligent people
can submit to be so duped, A largo proportion of them
yet prefer country to party; and possess understand
ings too clear, not to distinguish through the mists ol
misrepresentation, tho foaiurcs of sound principles, ot
which wholesome works are at once the evidence and
the fruits.
"But granting,” (says the Federal Union,) "as true,
all the merit claimed for Governor Crawford; what has
he done, that Mr.McAllister or any other intelligent dem
ocrat, would not have done, in pursuance of legislation
which he was bound to obey?” Without commenting fan-
ther on tho quibble of arraying the supposition of what
fine things Mr. McAiiislcr would do, against the facts of
what Mr. Crawford has done, I respectfully ask. why
were not these things accomplished during the several
democratic administrations to which the people entrus
ted power? Why was not the Central Bank arrested
in its career of destructiveness ? Why was it permit
ted, nay, encouraged, to inundate the country with its
bills, which the people were forced to receive at par
value, and to pay nut at a loss of 25, 37, and even 50
cents in the dollar 1 Why was the Penitentiary
permitted to be a drain upon the public purse, to the
tune of twelve or fourteen thousand dollars per annum?
Why was the credit of the State allowed to remain so
depreciated, that Georgia became a bye-word and re
proach among her sister States, and the nations of Eu
rope ? Surely the article was hastily penned, or the
intelligent Editors would havo felt the bitter satire on
their party, conveyed in the proposition. Had they
provided no “legislation” adequate to correct those
evils; were not their Governors "intelligent;” or did
they not feel “hound to obey” it ? In their zeal to un
dervalue the services of Governor Crawford, and tho
Whig party, who did provide by legislation for the re-
detnplion of the Slate front insolvency and disgrace,
they have instituted a comparison that conducts to con
clusions by which their friends will scarcely acknow
ledge iltetU6olves complimented. They may well ex
claim, with honest Jack, of F.ilstail memory, “call you
this backing your friends ? a plague on such backing !”
The people of Georgia have a right to demand, and to
know, Itow it happened, that during the tenor twelve
years of democratic rule, their interests were not bet
ter protected, since they now havo the declaration of the
leading organ of I hat parly, that to do what Governor
Crawford and a single Whig Legislature iiave effected
iu less than 2 years, was an affair so easy, that "any intel
ligent democrat” might have done it I Will the peo
ple regard these former failures, as the guarantee of r u-
ture success? If it was so easy to bo done, they will
ask, why wasn't it done then? Were our democratic
rulers treacherous or stupid 1 Nor will they he satis-
tied, with a reference to "old Ezekiel Polk's bones,” for
an answer,
Tho truth is, tho democratic loaders find themselves
cornered—placed in a dilemma from which no prospect
of escape presents itself, except by amusing the public
mind with false issues, and diverting their thoughts
from home concerns, to matters in which they Iiave
|na• remote apd cwiUiigsiii interest. Whilst, its .psrty nilhtbfl manta whom sba-will entrust her per,

iu Goorgia. laboring for the interests they were appoint
ed to guard—but like busy bodies in privato life, were
ever ready to intermeddle with the concerns pf others,
at the oxpenso of their own. Whereby the affair* ot
our own State sunk to a condition of pitiable distress—
rendered more incurable by their awkward attempts to
relievo them. The phenomenon of an onorgo'ic Ex
ecutive, applying the power of hia intellect singly to
tho service of the State ; and by tho aid of judicious
legislation, infusing vigilance, and activity, and fideli
ty, into every department of the government; increas
ing the prosperity of the State at homo, and maintain
ing her credit abroad—has struck so fearfully upon their
faculties, that the democratic apostles arc unwilling to
believe Ihe evidence of tlioir own senses. But the peo
ple sec, and believe. And unless they can be again de
luded, the democratic aspirants nre too much of pro.
phots not to foresee, that tho days of their power have
passed. Hence the eft'orts to distract the public mind
on foreign subjects. What has Texas, or Canada, or
Nova Scotia, or Oregon, to do with the election of a
Governnrfor the State of Goorgia? Will tho imme
diate acquisition of those territories, impart wisdom to
the leaders of democracy, whose blunders reduced the
State from affluence, to poverty ? or will a delay in do
ing so, disarm Gov. Craw-lord of his abilily to continue
‘.lie prosperous career of his administration ? In our anx
iety to fraternize with tho lone star just glimmering on
our Western horizon, shall we neglect to provide for the
prosperity of Georgia, ono of the glorious constellation
of tho revolution ? Will Georgians assemble on the
first Monday iu October, to elect a Governor for far dis
tant Oregon, a country so little known that its correct
tosition is not delineated upon any map—and whose star
tas not yet beamed on any civilized land—or will they
assemble to elect a Governor for their own Georgia?
Let the people answer these questions with their usual
discernment—nor suffer themselves to be blinded to
their true interests at home, by tho smoke of distant con
Aids, tn which they have no immediate interests that
should engage them. Let them remember that democrat
ic government brought upon them theevilsof a drrangt d
currency—a ruinous Penitentiary — high taxes—broken
banks—heavy slate debts-depreciated credit-.mid hlem*
Bhed character—with all the others that follow in the*
train. Let them remember that the policy and meas
ures of the present administration, have re-atiiinatcd
the expiring energies of the Slate, and placed her on an
eminoncc, from which she can survey surrounding na
tions, without feeling reproach in every glance
directed towards her. Finally, let them remember, that
to oust Governor Crawford in order to make way for
Mr.McAllister, wore to invite a return to that ruinous
system ot misrule, front which they were delivered iu
October 1843. Lot llieso things bo impressed on their
minds, and recorded in their hearts—and let every free
man cast his vote with a conviction that tho best inter
ests of Georgia aro suspended oil the result.
Sir! I have hastened to render this early mark of at-
tention to the novitiate Editors of the Federal Union,
as a token of tny respect, IcBttliey might feel slighted
by delay. If my first salutation is less courtly than it
should be, 1 trust my good intentions may bo received
in extenuation. Hoping to atone by assiduity, for any
mental deficiency, or dullness of composition, I offer
this as a prologue to future civilities of thesamo sort.
I am too inconsiderable an individual,! to expect from
them the honor of a reply—yet I cannot do less than
tender the assurance, that in my humble efforts to re
mark on tho effusions of minds so accomplished, as their
own, it shall be tny endeavor not to lose sight of those
rules of decorum, for which, not less than tlicniselvos,
I profess tube an advocate. Although an obscure indi
vidual cannot hope to emulate the fluency of practised
writers, of nostnall professional reputation—yet, when
tho spirit moves me, a voice shall occasionally be heard
in defence of Goorgia, and iter faithful servants, from
the Oaken Woods of BALDWIN.
"The writer, of course, takes it for granted that the "bold
/ace” extract, from the “Pioneer," with the uccuinpcnictl ed
itorial remarks in the last Federal Union, was not the work
of the gentlemen, whom lie now addiessea.
|FOR THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.]
WOMAN SHOULD BE PROTECTED.
Imperfect legislation marks Ihe history of well nigh
every country that boasts a national existence. Than
this, no fact is more indisputably true. Every nation,
from tho foundation of tho Assyrian, to the destruction
of the Roman empire, and from thence upward, attests
tho truth of this melancholy fact. Notwithstanding
this imperfection, the mmd of man is ever active in
search of those means, by the right application of which
tho greatest amount of happiness may be secured.
Tho eye of the observer fails not to discover, while
scanning the body politic, that an insidious disease is
preying upon its vitals, whose corrosive qualities threa
ten the constitution, health and happiness of many of
its fairest subjects; and discovering it, it philanthropic,
lie labors to counteract, if nut entirely to destroy its
unhappy effects. Unfortunately, however, in the charac-
lers of selfishness and ignorance, lie encounters a for
midable opposition ; and this unreasonable opposition
is the cause why the wants and exigencies of society
have so long been disregarded, and the grievances of
individuals so unwillingly redressed.
It is a principle iu jurisprudence that law is enacted
to guard the weak against the oppressions of the strong.
This principle, however, is not always regarded, and
tho weak aro frequently made the helpless victims of a
ruthless power. We believe that sound principles of
public policy require a change in the law regulating
the cntailment of estates. We also bnlieve that Geor
gia legislators, guided by a true appreciation of llic
rights of married women, will consider the injustice and
hardship of some of the principles of the English com
mon law so deeply grafted into our jurisprudence, and
substitute in their place the equity ot the civil law —
that our mothers, wives and daughters may receive
that protection which justice and reason award them.
It is a painful seem.- to witness such opposition as
lias been arrayed against a measure so wholesome and
marry .him. An ingeuiuus
writer remarks that this reason is fallacious. A man
may bo ever so worthy, and yet not beyond the roach of
accident or misfortune. To guard against these, with
out Injury to Any porson, is tha object of the provision.
When a woman marries, lot it be understood that her
property is secured to her, and the children aho may
have, and that i*. cannot be taken for the debts of her
husband. lie may receive the profits, and have Ihe
general control, hut the title he cam ot convey.
We eltall now demonstrate tho necessity of a change
in tho law of descents, from the unhappy consequences
arising out ol tho cntailment of property under the law,
as it obtains in Georgia ; and also, from the insecurity
of the wife against future contingencies under this law.
When a man marries a lady, ifslio have property, that
property Is no longer hors but his, under tho present
law. By the simple operation of law, she loses her le
gal existence in the act of contracting marriage. Her
right, therefore, to claim her property, is transferred ti
him and lie is solo monarch of all she posssased befor
covelure. Wlm can tell the infidelity of the human
lienrt.or the fickleness of fortune! To-day, the hus
band may be sober; tomorrow, he tnay waste his
hours amid seem s of debauchery. To-day, prosperity
may smile upon him; to-monnw, adversity may lower
around him. Thus, we see at a glance, how insccuio
woman is. wliilofortunc is so precarious. No! Laws
should be passed to meet Ihe exigencies of society in it*
various relations, and promote, so far as the adoption ol"
beneficial laws are concerned, its permanent prosperity.
Man, however provident, may be deceived. He may
enter the field of speculation under the most favorable
auspices-"may traffic shrewdly—yet misfortune's scath
ing blast sweeps over him, and the properly he Ins is
jeopardized. At another time, tho wife may remon
strate, but vain will be that remonstrance. His will is
her law. A mania for wealth seizes hint, and in his
effoits to gain much, he loses all. Whore now is tho
property llut costafatiier many hours of patient toil to
accumulate—that iuedauglder might have a competen
cy—that she might have a home from the polling s ortn
—a mansion to dwell in. Gouo to the four winds of
Heaven! Now who is she Once so gay and buoyant ,n her
hopes. The despondent wife of an incautious husband.
Thatcountenanco, once su bright, is now pule and wan.
Her happiness iH immolated at the shrine o! disappoint-
ment. “Another short step, the grave opens torocoivo
her, and she sinks into its bosom.” Toll me not that
there is an identity of interest—that what ho did was
done for their mutual prosperity. ’Tib but j miserable
subterfuge to avoid the force of the argument in favor
of the woman’s law. No. There is no palliation for
doing wiong. Woman should be protected in her right
to private property. She should find a safeguard m the
law. There let her find her guaranty against future
exigencies, and all is well. A stronger argument for
the enactment of this fate is, that it will benefit many,
and injure none. Why take from a woman the right to
hold property, and give it to the husband. Not be
cause lie is more honest, or shrewd, in the manage
ment of it—not because lie lias a superior claim to her
property—but because some ancient Legislature said
that we should have the undivided control of all the
real and personal estate procured iu marriage. Why
do gentlemen oppose ilio enactment of the Woman’s
law? Do they loso any of their privileges by its en
actment ! None—unless it be the privilege to squan
der that which is not in fact theirs. Gcnticmcu may
talk vauntmgly of their independence ; but w hat ra-
tional gentleman thinks his independence sacrificed in
shielding the wife against future contingencies.—
When gentlemen can make it appear that we loso a
single reasonable privilege by throwing around the do.
mestic hearth the vegis of protection, then we will no
longer contend that the patrimonial estate need be
guaranteed to the wife and her children. Til. then we
shall call upon parents to awake to the true interests of
their daughters. Till then, we shall call upon Geor
gia Legislators. Whigs and Democrats, to look to the
past, and count the sufferings of thousands, growing
out of an unwise entuilinent of property, and tn guard
succeeding generations against like suffering and op
pression. Tins accomplished, and Georgia shall stand
proudly pro-euiinont among her sister .States—the
patroness of female rights and a model worthy of
imitation. J, L. C.

We cannot think of making an innovation upon a cue- *
tom transmitted to us from our ancestors—a custom
so ancient, indeed, that the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary.” And this, this sacred adherence
to the time honored usages of our progenitors is tho
reason why they oppose a change in the cntailment of
estates. But this is, of all reasons, reader, the
most supercilious and weak. It is virtually denying
the progressive improvement of tiie human race. It is
saying, three thousand years ago men were wiser than
now—that the framers of the English Constitution, the
old Britons and Saxons, had belter ideas of right and
wrong than we have. They deny that experience is a
teacher. And, judging from such ad captandum argu
ments, and the pertinacity evinced in their mainten
ance, wo would infer that no changes ever occur in the
regulations of society, at all. But this is false.—
Changes occur, even in the arts and sciences ; why not
also in the laws regulating society! When Troy
fought we heard the whistling javelin upon its bloody
errand—we saw the Trojan lift tho spear and cast the
lance. But now other and more destructive imple
ments have superseded those weapons, and who dare
say that tho changes in the art of war Iiave not had a
happy eiTact upon the peace and happiness of the world?
Indeed, were the engines of war tenfold as destructive!
we should hear less of those bloody commotions a
which the heart sickens and recoils. The sciences
have undergone changes for the better. vVhere stood
the Aristotilic philosophy a few ages since * Swaying
a despotic power over tho minds of tho world. But a
Bacon arose to change the dogmas of tlie day—Syllo
gism gave way to induction, and man is now exploring
a wider held in the arcana of nature, with a surer
guide, than he ever presumed to walk upon, while syl.
logism held its sway. Governments change. To go
no further than our own, is proof of this. Once Me
were colonists, swayed at the option of a heartless
monarch,aud tamely submitting to the rigorous exactions
of a pampered aristocracy. Now, wo aro free, prosper
ous and happy. No oue denies that the change in our
political relations wrought this result. If, therefore,
for the advancement of public interests, it becomes ne
cessary to cHcct a change in the customs o» the country,
how much more necessary, if private interest demand
that change. We flatter ourself that we have shown
those uncompromising sticklers for the customs of so
ciety, that change, at least at*limes, is necessary.
Another objection mado to these settlements on the
wifo is, that if a woman caunot afford to trust her pro-
