nus tenure of one man’s life or popularity. Put
sucli a precious individual is not often to be fpund
even in the revolvuti'on qf ages. It would seqm,
however, that without one qualification calculated
to conciliate the love and gratitude of a republic,
Mr. John t or sift It lias only to signify his wish for
this, or that office, and he is to attain it as a mat
ter of curse! He is, then, oqe of those highly
gifted, extraordinary, disinterested and talented
men, who so seldom appear to claim upon their
own virtuqa and abstract merits, the love and ho
nor oi a free people. Forsyth such a man ?
Where and when has he manifested the virtues,
the pure unsullied patriotism which ought to give
I kirn the first place in the affections of the people
cd Georgia ? During the administration of the el
der Adams, lie was a high toned aristocratic fed
erhst, ami spoke and wrote about the Jeffersonian
democrats pretty much in the same stylo as the
Turks speak of the Christians. He got into Con
gress through the aid of the federal party, and
some deluded republicans, who forgot and forgave
his past, manifold transgressions, under the impres
sion tl*at ho was a man qf talents, and could be
dove tailed into the politics of their school. lie
ms (to give the devil hi3 due) proved himself, as
tar as Georgia politics have been concerned, a use
ful and consistent renegado. He has adhered to
all the leading demagogues of the day, and swam
with thaprevailiag torrent- Bat he has in no in
stance evinced a patriotism which included the
harmony and interests of the United States. On
the contrary, his politics have-been entirely sec
tional, arid he has rehod upon sectional influence
forofficp, without which he cannot live. He is
kepi apart by that party, who care not for a man’s
principles, provided fie supports their men and
their measures. Hence with a few exceptions,
the Qeorgip, Senators, have been taken from the
Federal Caste; and the apostate federalists shar
ed the best chance in Congressional plections.—*
“Yet Georgia calls herself a democratic State!—
Mr. John Forsyth has been long enough in public
life to gratify any man of pure republicanism, and
entirely too long for any just claims he may set
up for disinterested and patriotic services. The
rmiriant party tuny put him in ; but let it be by
their votes. It Is to be hoped that no firm heart
ed man of the Clark party will be mean and sub
missive enough to give him support. If ho does
go, the Clark man gives a stick and asks Mr. For
syth in this humiliating language r “ Please migh
ty and illustrious Sir, to break my head !”

Fror,i the Millcdvevillc Recorder.
Gentlemen —The preservation of our
public imitulions demands a strict adher
ence to the principles upon which they are
established. Those principles do not ad
mit concealment, management, or intrigue.
Whenever unwarrantable means are rcsort
e l to, in ordey to promote some political
scheme, our public, institutions aro injured
in their most vital parts. Mr. George
R. Gilmer has boon nominated by a num
ber of Gentlemen, who, it is reported, met
in Alliens, either as a convention of ihe
paop'e, a caucus, or an AMPHYCTI
ONIC COUNCIL. As they have taken
upon themselves to nominatp and point
out a Governor for the good people of
Georgia, ihtir naipe? should be known,
that this gqod people may be enabled to
ascertain what degree of confidence can
be placed in the assumption of the power
they have exercised, and what degree of
respect can be paid to the person nominat
ed, for his acquiescence in such a nomina
tion 1 feel assured that they cannot re
fuse to let their names be known, They
cannot ho ashamed of the nomination they
have made. SlioulJ they refuse, I shall
certainly take upon myself to publish, a
mong those who were present, the names
ill it have come to my knowledge.
With regard to Mr. Gilmer, personally,
to whom f would have no objection, as a
Representative or Senator in Congress, cr
Governor of Georgia, I shall say, that
it is a republican principle, from which I
shall never depart, to vole for no man who
liis not declared himself a candidate.—
There is nothing so degrading in unpeople
as to give their votes to a man who is not a
candidate, hut wjio presumptuously declares
that he would seryo if elected, If it is the
individual who confers a savoy on the peo
ple, when elected under such circumstan
ces, / shall not admit that my principle is
anti republican. But if it is the people
who confe r a favor by electing that individ
ual to an office, t;iy principle is sound and
should be followed. I will, therefore, ask
Mr. Gilmer, with due respect, whether he
is a candidate for Representative in Con
gress, or whether he is a candidate for the
office of Governor of Georgia? He shall
not bp considered a candidate by mc t if his
answer is not categorical.

Quarantining Passengers. —The neces

the present tigorous system upon ogr trade
is illustrated in tho following example

solitary ont:—
A low days 3ioco a vessel arrived from
one of tlie West India islands, and not

Health, vyas adjudged io a quarantine of so
many days. One of the passengers wished
to purchase goods to the amount of thirty
thousand dollars; but as I)is business de
manded that he should n ol lose a day, he
lound it better to proceed to Philadelphia
than wait until the quarantine h;fci expired
and then come up to the city. At Phila
delphia he supplied his wants, and his re
gular agent in this city had the mortification
of accepting notes for the payment.

A letter from Liverpool, of June 24th,

Messrs. McLane and RieveSj the Minis*,
ters to England and France, visited last
evening, by invitation the Library of tho
Mercantile Association. They were re
ceived by its officers, who explained to
them the naturo and objects of the Associa
tion— the constant apej rapid growth of the
library, which has reached (jOOO volumes,
from 2200, of which four years ago it vyas
composed—and the number of clerks and
young men who were members and readers
of the books. Light hundred books at a
time is the average number out. The vis
itors appeared to be much struck with
results, and seemed fully to appreciate the
benefit of the commercial character of the
country of such insutqtons.
After leaving this library, they went to
the Mechanics’ Apprentices* Library,
where they were in like manner received
by tho trustees and officers, and made ac*

Outrageous Act —James H. Rowland,
a constable of tho lQdi ward, was stabbed
yesterday, in tho back of his head, by a
weaver, living a Greenwich Village, nam
ed Michael Ward. It appears that Ward
is a native of Irejapd, and Rowland had a
countryman of his in custopy for disorderly
conduct, and was conveying him to the po
lice office. Ward, who happened to pass,
seeing this, made the attack on Rowland,
and tho prisoner escaped accordingly.—
Rowland was taken into the apothecary
shop of Dr. Cognac, in Chatham qtreet,
where surgical aid was rendered. His skull
is said to be very much injured; and several
persons who attempted to assist him during
the affray, were also hurt by Ward. The
latter has been arrested and committed to

rather favorable. Peru is in a state of Re

head; their best frigate, the Fuebra, has
been blown up with 1200 men on hoard.
Guayaquil will be taken by the Colombi

bring about a peace, and the return of Boli

Attempt to Bribe. —A passenger in the
Copernicus, lately arrived from JLondon,
attempted to bribe one of the Inspectors,
by slipping four sovereigns into his hand,
and saying “that is the amount of the du
ty on my property, you need not trouble
yourself to examine it.” The Inspector
told him that “sovereigns did not go in this
country,” much to his astonishment. A
complaint has bqen made to the Police,
who have taken the matter in hand.
We have received a few returns from

from them, but that, in the Fayette District,

on the other side of the Atlantic. The’

ihe followin^remarks:—
“ fliirtboroitgli sweeping w ifi give to
the contests for the Presidency a character
of peculiar bitterness, ft has be#n remark
ed, that since war has lost its horrors, pa
triotism has lost much of Us strength. In
ancient times when the capture of a city
led to tho death or slavery of the vanquish
ed, patriotism was an engrossing passion.
In the United States, every clerk even
must become a determined partizan; and
every election for a President will be view
ed with an intensity of interest by numbers
whom it will raise or ruin.”
MISCELLANY.

1 - Ye powers!
That sfreadfal ©Qte I—Day of Doom.
I awoke in the morning before the usaal
time. My sleep had little of quiet, f
dreamed of duns and deputy sheriffs. I was
no better off when awako, for my note was
to be paid off by two o'clock, and my pock
ets were empty. I put on my clothes.—
Dressing is bad enough at any time j but
dressing when you have a note to pay be
fore night is horrible. Every thing goes
wrong. - You fasten the wrong buttons,
stick pips io your flesh, and twist your
clothes villanously out of shape.
At breakfast nothing was better. The
coffee was scalding hot; the tcast fell iuto
my lap, buttered side down, ('nankeens oh.)
No appetite. Felt dispeptical. Thought
of niy note—two o'clock it must be paid.
” I have a whole forenoon at least before
me.” said I, as 1 sallied forth intending to
muke a desperate effort to raise the money
by borrowing. “Mr Q , my dear
rletid, I have four huudred dollars to raise
this forenqon, all which I must borrow.”
But Mr. Q - ——had no cash. As to
money, it was ail sunk in the bottom of the
sea, he believed. The baoks would
discount. Hotrible words! I bad as lief
hear it thunder as 11 the banks won't dis
count.”
So I went to Mr X. and Mr. VY. and
Mr. Z. Not a dollar. Hard times—-Peo
ple failing, banks won’t discount.
*• Then nothing remains for me,” said I,
“ but to go to Sharp the broker.” This
was a worthy who assisted needy gentlemen
at critical times, out of pure friendship
The rascal knew I was in search of him
as he stood talking with somebody at the
corqer of Congress street. I shambled a
bout near himy now trying to catch bis eye,
and now glancing at the dial on tho Qld
£iate House, the hands of which moved
with a fearful rapidity toward the point be
yond-which there was no salvation of credit.
What could he be talking about so long ? It
was strange he could not see me.
After waiting a long time, I sucoeedcd in
catchmg hiseye as he pretended to bo moving
off. * Mr. Sharp, 1 ’ said I, “ have you any
money to-day 1” 1
“ Not a dollar. I overdrew my cash ac
count at the bank yesterday. Never saw
such a time for money.”
“ If the thing be poisibfo,** said I, “ I
should like to have a note cashed.
“Ahem!” said he, “money is money
now. 1 iiave a sum to raise myself, but if
you are in urgont want of
“So much’so,?* answered f, “that if it
were for my own particular use, I couM
not want it more.’.’
, I think, said he, “ that I know a ntaij

ance of mjue—(very particular, { daresay,
thought I) - J || step over the way and see
him. Call on me ip ten minutes
“ Very well,” sakf f, and walked off.
Mv worthy friend saw me out of sight,
RptJ then went into his office and sat dowo,
Presomjy J came in. f knew very well
what ho was about to say.
“I have beeu to see the person I spoke
of, said he, “ but could pot find'him.-.
Wait a moment and { will try again.” I
sut down, aud £sr. Sharp walked up tho
street, took a turn round the o|d State
House, and came back,
“ Ah, I have found him,” said he, “ but
he is so short of money”—(£ looked at mv
watch.) ‘’ ‘ *
“ Cannot ho do i; at all f f asked I.
Why ye-es, hut he demands fourteen
per cent, for cashing yogi’ note at thirty
days.” * • v • C
1 looked at roy watch again—it wantej
ten minutes of two. £ looked at my tibli*
ging and conscientious friend. There ic
no remedy,” thought I, ‘‘when a manta
between the devil and the deep gea,”w
’ Here is my note, Mr. §harp.V
You have made so l~4rd a bargain with
him,” said he, “ that I ought not to demantj
any thing for my trouble.” [“ How gene*
rous” thought I J But as” I must pro.
vide for my family”—(“your family must
be horse-leeches,” thought I, “ if they want
providing at this rate,”]—“ f must say five
dollars for uiy trouble.”
There was no remedy again, so five doN
lars more went. I got to the bank oue mi*
nute before two. .Coming away I saw 9

rable half starved puppy under his paw,
squeezing the breath out of his body.

The Duke of Wellington often mixej
with company by llii ire rs
unknown, with the view of collecting the
opinioos of various parties on political and
other public subjects His'Grace, aware
that the bow which is constantly kept bene
to its extremity, must in time lose part of
its elasticity, occasionally relaxes the miud,
and relieves it from the pressure of weignty
affairs of state, by taking a rural ramble oq
foot, and, when fatigued, entering the fiist
stage coach he meets, where Ijs chats with
the passengers with the greatest affability.
In these rambles, he is peculiarly felicitous
in extracting the opioious cf the passen
gers, and has been sometimes amused by
finding himself and his political conduct
subject of discussion ; ono party extolling
his military genius and talents as a states
man, while another will not allow him any
merits whatever. The contest often end
with an appeal to the Duke himself, who is
unknown to the parties, aud he freely gives
his opinion* by observing that “ lie has long
knpwo the Duke of Wellington; believes
him, at least, an honest and upright man
but considers the praise bestowed on his
talents overcharged, and more the effect of
partiality than of ny amerit which he pos
sesses.” On one occasion, having express
ed himself to this effect, he was grossly at
tacked by the vituperations of a furious par
son, on the subject of -the Catholic Ques
tion, on whom he retorted with deserved
and triumphant severity ; but the intolerant
priest became dumb-founded k on his adver
sary leaving the coach, who was immedi
ately recognizod at the inn-dopr as the
Duke of Wellington. The Duke, in some
of his rambles, not only hears his own char
acter, but the characters of his colleagues
dissected—tho affairs of the nation discuss
ed, and many reforms and measures of the
highest importance suggested; but he has
more than once come iuto contact with a
dandy “ who has been intimate with him
for years, and been at all bis parties/* tho’
he never before saw him, whom he quits
without chiding him for his falsehood and
vanity. On Saturday last the Duke amu
set} himself with one of those stage-coaeh
excursions to Kew, and was no doubt con
siderably amused by the observations \vhich
were made on his personal character and
political conduct. His Graee pursued his
plan of concealment so successfully, that no
one suspected with whom they had tho
honor of travelling, until a few minutes be
fore his Grace had left the coach. The
ate Catholic Emancipation Bill—“ the man
who drives the Sovereign”—the war be
tween Turkey and Russia, and many other
matters, were discussed, or rather questions
put respecting them, part of which only his
Grace chose to answer; but the conversa
tion never lagged, and it was only when his
Grace said, a few minutes before leaving
the stage,that ho knew the Duke of Wel
lington well,” “ very intimately indeed,”
that his feilow-travetlers began to suspect
with whom they were conversing.
