It is indeed a useless ptociasrimtion of what

The m lit in cl a ms and the territorial „t„: mS

wh'rh it is so much t'to interest of borii

Ii is been done to Georgia-—her views misrepre
sented, and bur character traduced; Ini' wrong
w'll come to right, and what prejud re lias mis

Representatives and Magistracy, in peace and
u w ir, have failed in nothing of their ditty to
.he United States. To ihe constitutional law,
a ready and cheerful obedience has been ren
dered at all times. In seasons of danger her
contributions have been given without st’n*,
and her sword drawn upon the first appeal. If
for these she claims no merit, she deserves no
reproach. They are the righteous only whom
wo acknowledge as our peers, and to their
judgment we submit our actions without be
speaking for them any thing but tho award due
to their intrinsic merits.
I cannot conclude this message without con
gratulating you on the blessings communicated
to society by that universal toleration of religi
on (.he guarantee of our political constitutions)
by which the intolerant himself, as well as the
believing and the unbelieving arc exempt from
all responsibility, but to their Maker, whilst
the numerous Sectnriesof the Christian church,
differing in creeds, but united in the faith giv
en to the sermon on the mount, preach and
worship securely almost in the same Temple,
preading the benign doctrines of that sermon
far and wide, impressing their sacredness by
precept and example, and lay ns 'he prosperi

It becomes nations and communities, like in
dividuals, fiom tune to lime to render homage
and adoration to the Supreme Governor of die
universe, the author of every good, to ac
knowledge Iris power, to make confession of
sins, to ask their forgiveness, to supplicate Ins
mercy, and to deprecate his wrath. It especial-

fruitful, ami its fruits protected—physical evils
averted, and moral blessings multiplied, so that
die prosperity and happiness we enjoy not on
ly transcend our deserts, but promiso a destiny,
more elevated than any portion of tho human
family has attained. To set apart a day of
thanksgiving and prayer for these past manifes
tations of a superintending Providence may be

Flarer Pots for Rooms.—At a late meeting
of the Horticultural Society, on tho 6 h instant
a paper was read upon the manner of cultivating
plants in pots filled with moss only, and not mould.
It appeared that the method to be pursued was
to fill u pot with coarse moss of nnv kind, in
the same maimer as it would be filled with earth,
and to place a cutting or a seed in this moss.—
The Secretary was understood to say that he
wtts well acquainted with the practice, and that
it succeeded admirably, especially witli plants
destined to ornament a drawing room. In
such a situation plants giown in moss were sttv

1 ttal statement of a few leading facts.
From a sudden altercation which took place
about three weeks ago, in his town, between
Gens. Houston and White, it seems that the
latter challenged the former to single combat,
and that the challenge was accepted. They
were compelled, by an interposition of the civil
authorities, to iransfer the scene of operations
beyond the Kentucky line, and the meeting
took place on Thursday morning hist, about
sunrise. As the first fire Gen. Ilousioii’s aim
took effec', striking a little below the right
shoulder blade, and passing round and lodging
on the opposite side, from which it was easily
extracted. Strong hopes are entertained that
the wound will not prove fatal, and the parties
separated on the ground with evidences of the
kindest feelings and perfect reconciliation.—
Gen. White’s fire did not take effect, a* the
discharge did not take place unt l probably ex
tracted by the lire of tlie other pistol.

The Hamilton Papers.—It will probably be
recollected by our readers that a Chancery
suit was instituted some e ghieen months ago,
by Mrs. Hamilton, to recover certain papers de
posited for stife keeping with Mr. Rufus K ng,
by the acting executor of Gen. Hamilton.—
Various allusions made in ihe newspapers to the
supposed character and contents of those pa
pers, induced us to publish at the time, so much
of t he bill in Chancery as specified these par
ticulars. By this extract it appeared that these
papers consisted chiefly of letters between
Gous. Washington and Hamilton, relative to the
composition of Washington’s Farewell Address
The question of authorship in this case hav
ing been put to rest by ihe conclusive letter of
John Jay, recently published, fthough written,
and transmitted many years ago) the motive for
withholding the documents committed to Mi.
King; the chief of which was, that their con
tents might remain undivulged, and that no in-
ted 'o thrive better than if they were in garden j discreet use might be made of them, no longer
mould, ami to possess the very great-advantage! existed. Mr. K, accordingly^ directed his
of not causing dirt, by the earth washing out of
them when watered. For transportation, plants
rooted in moss are sail! to be better adapted, on
account of their lightness. In short, the me
thod was declared to be excellent. The ex
planation of the practice seems to be this: that
moss rammed into a pot, and subjected to con
tinual watering, is soon brought into a state of de
composition, when it becomes a pure vegetable
mould, which is the most proper of all materials
for the growth of almost all kind of plants.—
The moss would also not retain more moisture,
than precisely the quantity best adapted to the
absorbent powers of the root—a condition
which can scarcely he obtained with any cer
tainty, by the use of earth.

of this project—M. de Pol^nac, being ant-
counsel to notify the family of General Ilam l
toil, that in consequence of the publication of
Mr. Jay’s letter, he no longer felt himself
hound hy the trust delegated to him, to with
hold the papers claimed; mid that they were
therefore subject to the order of any person
duly authorized to receive them. They wore
thereupon delivered to Mr. J. A. Hamilton,
and the suit was discontinued.

The season of pleasure 1ms passed, and that
