CONGRESS.
We give our readers the following speech of
Mr. Berrien, of Georgia, in the Senate of the
the United Stales, on the hill for the relief of Mrs.
Brown, widow of the lute General Brown—ex
pressing sentiments which we suppose they will
Very generally approve.
Mr. Bf.rrien, said, lie was called upon
to recur;! his vote on this question, and
desTred to state, very briefly, the reasons
which wool! influence it. Whatever may
be (he result of this discussion, said Mr,
B. all w ill agree that it becomes us to con
duct it iri a spirit of considerate respect
for the sufferings of the afflicted lady,
who is the object of the benevolent pro
visions of tilts bill. Tlte sorrows of wi
dowhood and orphanage are sacred. I am
persuaded tiiere is no one among those to
whom f address myself, especially that
there is no one who has permitted him-
so!f, for a moment, to consider jlie reai
destitute condition of tlte family of Gene
ral Brown, whose feelings would not
prompt him to alleviate their sufferings.—
The refusal of any member of this house
to give his absent to this bill, will arise,
I run sure, from no indisposition to relieve
them, hut from the distrust of the power
to do so, or from a belief of the inexpe
diency of establishing the principle which
it proclaims, ft becomes us then to ex
amine, as calmly as I may, both the claim
which is made upon us, and our own
power to afford the relief which is solici
ted.
A gallant and gifted soldier, who often
periled life in our defence, and wasted
nealrh in the exposure incident to pro
tracted warfare, has been recently sum
moned from among us, leaving his family
in a state of utter and hopeless destitution.
To the desolation of the heart, which be
longs to widowhood and to orphanage,
are too surely snperadded, in their case,
the horrors of instant poverty—;lie ab
rupt transition from comfort to want—it
may be, the exchange of the greetings of
respectful gratulation, for the dulling
condolence of the world’s cold charity—
its protective kindness—its supercilious
sympathy. The impulse which piompts
to the relief of such sorrows, is innate, in
stant, irrepressible. We cannot be Disen
able to if, even in the cold exercise of
legislative power. It is nature’s own
dictate, and it will he obeyed, unless con
trolled by the imperious obligations of con
flicting dutv. Do these obligations ex
ist here! Must the warm, but, often er-
sing, suggestions of the heart, be res
trained and silenced by the calmor, col
der, but more enlightened dictates of the
understanding and the judgement. I am
ready to yield—it may be, a reluctant,
but certainly an unqualified obedience to
the latter—and yet I will confess it — it is
due to truth to say so—that I would not
surrender without a struggle, the convic
tion which I feel that the vote I feel dis
posed to give, although it may spring from
the impulse of feeling, is, nevertheless,
consecrated by judgement.
Sir, I had, with this distinguished sol
dier, no intimacy or acquaintance, and of
him no particular knowledge bevoud that
which is common to those with whom f
am associated. The story of his life was,
indeed, familar to me, for it illumines the
page of our national history ; ami the glo
ry, which he had carved out for liinwd ,
with his own good sword, h is now be
come the common property of his coun
trymen. But there is little need, on this |
occasion, to invoke the feelings which be
long to the intimacy of friendship ; on the
contrary, I would deal with this matter
os coldly as gentlemen please—as a ques
tion of power, of justice, of policy.
The moment is not propitious, sir, at
least, so far as I am concerned, to the
discussion of a question, of mere power—
I do not propose it—but I would not
shrink from it. I can yield to no one,
in the sincerity of my disposition, to con
fine myself within the limits of our Fede
ral Charter; to preserve inviolable, and
untouched, the rights which are beyond
its pale. But, iftheiebea power, which,
more emphatically than any other, is gi
ven to the General Government, it is the
power to provide for the national defence,
in the hour of danger. It is given gene
rally, and in detail—fully freo ly—abso
lutely. _
If the provisions of this bill be dictated
by an enlightened policy, and consistent
with a sound discretion,'in the exercise of
ibis power, the question of our authori
ty to do what is proposed, is at an end.
The position cannot be maintained, that
the Department of the government, which
is vested with the war making power is
limited, in the remuneration of military
service, to simple fulfilment of its con
tracts, yith the soldier. All governments,
in all tia^s, have, (com necessity, exceed
ed this li*Gt. Thts Govern went has
repeatedly e-Q^ed it. j t habitually
acts upon a prince, which transcends
it. What is the yioeipi® 0 f y our p ens
on law! Your extract with these sol
diers, you Say, has \, eo performed. On
a recent occasion, you have solemnly de
cided that it has been fulfilled to the letter.
Whence then do you derive your power to
make them objects of your bounty ! That
bounty is extended to the wounded, & re
latives of those who have fallen in battle; of
those, also, who have died in consequence
of wounds received, or casualties encoun
tered in your service. What is the per
vading principle of these acts? What the
motive to their enactment! What but to
cherish that military ardor, which leads to
deeds of chivalry, *in the hour of coming
danger—to nerve the arm of the soidier
when he strikes for his country!—Look
to the case of Penelope Denny, sent to
ns, two years since, from the other House,
and passed without a dissentient voice
in this. You gave to the mother of a
gunner, who had died m your defence, a
pension for five years. You have provi
ded, by law, for the widows and children
of those who die by accidents or casual
ties, (I use the words of the law,) occur
ring in your service. Gen. BroNvn was
as emphaticallv sacrificed in that service,
as if he had ('alien in either of those glo-
nous conflicts which gave lustre to his
fame.
Tho war of 1812 found him in the very
vigor and spring Time of life, rich in all
the sources of virtuous enjoyment. W hen
danger came, lie left them to meet it.—
His whole soul was in that conflict. He
came out of it with a brilliant reputation,
indeed ; but, with a constitution worn out
and exhausted by the ligor ot the service,
and by the wounds which he had receiv
ed in your defence. He has lingered,
for a few years, tinder the pressure of the
disease—which was then incurred—and
has finally sunk under it, at an age, when,
but for that disease, thus contracted, he
might reasonably have calculated on pro
longed life—and while he was yet young
e.tough to have provided for those who
were entitled to protection. To him,
personally, you have been just. Do not
be unmindful of those, the remembrance
of whose destitute condition gave the
kneenest anguish to his expiring hours.—
Ho had commenced a new year of ser
vice, and is, therefore, entitled to some
thing at your hands. Enter not into strict
judgement with tlte soldier’s widow, in
settling its amount. Do not let the leger
of your Treasury record the exact mo
ment of a hero’s departing breath.
You are asked to allow to his widow
the compensation of the current year.—
Tlte principle, l understand is habitually
applied to the quarter, in various depart
ments of the Government. To you, it
is a pittance—to her comfort, it is all im
portant ; anti you yourselves, in the moral
value of the pi incipie, which, by its allow
ance, you will proclaim to the future de
fenders of the country, will find an ample
reward.

AUGUSTA, GEO. MONDAY, APRIL 21, 182S.
NO. 100.
From the Noith American Review for April.
Legal Condition of Woman.
“ Plutarch, mentions one Tinnuis, who
married Fannin, a woman of notoriously
bad character, and then divorced her, as it
seems to have been suspected, out of spec
ulation in order to secure her dowry.—
(Plut Marius.) When the exercise of
the right of repudiation had grown lesso-
ilious than at first, the facility of divorce
gave rise to many cases of the deepest
individual affliction. The great .'Emili
os Panins divorced his wife Papiria, the
mother of a family of heroes, without any
assigned cause, or any reason whatever,
which his friends could divine. (Plutarch
Paulus.) 0. Sulpicius Gallus repudiated
bis wife because sbe-appeared in public
with her head uncovered. Senipronius
Soplius repudiated h’s, because she went
to ihe Theatre. Q. Antistus Venta did
the same, because Ins wife conversed in
public with a woman of low condition.—
(Val mat. \i. 3, no. 10, 12.) Julius Cse-
sar divorced bis third wife, /*.>mpeia, the
niece of SvHi, because Clodius gained
admission into her bouse, in the disguise
• >f a female musician, while sh'* was cele-
bi aiing the mysteries of the Bona Dea ;
ye , when quesiioned on the subject, he
admitted that he did not believe Pompeia
to be guilty, but that Caesar’s wife must
not even be suspected. Plutarch, Casar ;
Sueton. Jul. 6.) Cicero divorced his wife
Terentia, at the close of the civil war, af
ter living with her more than thirty years,
alleging that her temper was overbearing,
and that she had deranged his domestic
affairs.by want of economy. Ere long,
however, he married Publia, a young
heiresss of whom he was guardian, as Te-
reutia said, on account of her beauty ; I ut
itis freadman, Tyro, affirmed that it was
because of her wealth, which he needed
to discharge his debts. But after he lost
his daughter Tulliola, Cicero repudiated
his new bride, because he thought she re
joiced at Tulliola’s death. (Plutarch.
Oic.) Augustus separated from his wife
Scribonia, either for her bad character, or
because she complained too much of his
own infidelity, and then compelled Tib.
Claudius Nero to repudiate his wife Livia,
although with child at the same time, in
order to mary her himself. (Stem, Caes.
ad. fin. Tac. no. 45,66.)- Considering
all the facts, too much censure, we con
ceive, has been cast upon the younger Ca
to for surrendering his wife, Marcia, to
his friend Q. Hortensius. Cato regular
ly repudiated his wife, and she Was regu
larly married to Hortensius ; there being
notiiing peculiar in the case, except that
he repudiated her for this very purpose.
{Kenntt, 319.) After the death of Hefr-
tensius, Marcia was again married to Ca
to. These examples might be multiplied
to a great extent; but we have deemed it
enough to select few cases by way o( illus
tration, either remarkable in themselves,
or on account of the individuals princi
pally concerned.
• * * * *' * * •
“ We no where discover that the
courts of Law authorize or countenance
any attempt to make the light of restraint
reciprocal. “The disintereste 1 makers of
law, take good care not to commit such a
solecism. And yet far greater necessity
exists for affording protection to the ‘ho
nor and estate’ of the wile against the ex
travagance or the proligacy of her hus
band, than for tbe reverse. It is not in
the power of a wife, to \va*te her hus
band’s property by lavish expenditure,
without his consent; nor, indeed, her own
property either.
Of his income or his capital she can ob
tain no more than he pleases to bestow ;
and he is liable, as will be explained at
large hereafter, for no debts of her con
tracting, except they be for necessaries.—
But he, on the other hand, can profusely
squander away most of his own property,
and most ofhers beside, in riotous living,
or risk it upon the throw of a die, of em
bark it in desperate speculations, in con
sequence of which she may be reduced in
stantaneously from affluence and ease to
indigence and wretchedness.
Again, there is little danger that a wife
will abandon-Iter husband’s bosom, unless
she be driven from it by ill usage, or cor
rupted and seduced bv some profligate
friend, whom he himself domesticates at
bis fireside. And this, compared with
the instances wherein a husband deserts
his wife, is a rare case. She is bound to
his house and his hearth by the nature of
her duties, by the cate of her children,
by the laws of the land, and by the despo
tic usages of society, more imperative and
imprescriptible by far than all the codt s
in the universe. Her fu net inns are do
mestic ; her education is domestic ; her
temper is domestic ; the constitution of
Providence has made her domestic; her
happiness her pride, her glory, ail that ex
alts her in estimation above the other sex
lies in tho round of endearing charities,
which enliven, bless and purify the do
mestic circle. She may be drawn from
it, for a season, to mingle in the amuse
ments of the world, and the pleasures of
general society, which occupy their ap
propriate place among the agents that
form her character ; but it is on home,
that her affections must finally and chiefly
rest. It is a principle too firmly implant
ed in her soul to be shaken by slight cau
ses.
Not so with the other sex. Wliere-
ever a man’s heart may bo, his serious
pursuits and regular occupations are a-
broad in his counting room, or bis office,
upon the the exchange, or in the forum,
or wherever else the calls of interest, am
bition, or duty, may demand bis presence.
His being is not so essentially domestic.
It is always in his power to abandon his
abode, if caprice or evil passions prompt
him, without of necessity losing his claims
to free admission in society, certainly
without fatal prejudice to his means of
subsistence and of enjoying life. Tt by
no means follows, because he is a wand
erer, that he is therefore miserable ; nor
because be is homeless, that he is there
fore an outcast. His sex is to him a
charter of freedom ; and if he possesses
a few grains of the ingenious Quesnay s
poudre dc prclinpinpin, he bears the uni
versal passport, the warranty ot welcome
in every land. Hence it happens, we be
lieve, and the records of justice will make
good our assertion, that for one wife se
duced from home, there are many hus
bands who abandon it; and for a single
case in which a husband is under the ne
cessity of asking aid of the laws to reclaim
his wife, very many occur in wtyich the
wife is consigned to more than the sor
rows of widowhood by tbe desertion of
her unfeeling husband.
VIRTUS VIA HONORIS. '
In 1622 there were yet to be seen at
Rome the ruins of two temples, one dedi
cated to virtue, the other to honor. The
latter temple had no entrance but through
the isle of the former. What a grand
principle was inculcated by this emblem.
I should like to see such temples erected
in every part of our land. And I would
have G<.d worshipped in both, for virtue
is worthless, but as it consists in uniformity
to the law of God, and honor a dream,
but as it comes from him only. O ur 8°~
vernment and our prosperity might last
till the funeral of the world, would we,
according to the above motto, seek for
honor only as the last shades of good and
virtuous character. But if ever this na
tion becomes enslaved, and we may not
presume on being above danger, our ruin
comes from this source, that our rulers
have burst their way into the temple, of
fame, without having trodden softly on
the isle of virtue, from which destiny may
the Sovereign of nations preserve, ps.
[Vermont Gazette.]
The New York Courier calls the hus
band of a lady' “ her luckless Rib. n The
wife has been quaiptly called .the husband’s
rib, from the Scriptural account of the wo
man having been made from a rib taken
from the side of the man, and hence it is
often said and generally thought, though
erroneously, that a man has a less num
ber of ribs by one, in one side than in tbe
other; and hence also it is said, when a
•wan takes to himself a wife, “ he has got
bis rib back again”—“ he has found his
lost rib.” But to call the husband the
wife’s rib, is new to us.

Indian Spring Reserve.
I N conformity to an act of the Legislature of
the 22d day of December last, •* to dispose
of the McIntosh Reserves in the county of Butts,”
the undersigned Commissioners have had the
Ocmulgee Reserves laid off into “ four lots as
nearly square as practicable,” embracing 530
acres, and have ascertained, that there will be 32
lots of 2 acres, on the Indian Spring Reserve; 14
do. of4 acres; lOdo. of2Q acres, and 16 do. of30
acres —total 72 lots. They will therefore offer for
sale, on Monday, the 21st day of April next, the
4 lots of the Ocmulgee Reserve, at the house of
Mr. Alexander, on said lands, and invite the at
tention of all those who ntish to purchase valua
ble lands.—And on the next day, (Tuesday, the
22d of April) they will commence sel'ingthe lots
at the Indian Springs, on that reserve, beginning
on the 2 acre lots, then the 4, and so on, in regu-
lai order, until all are sold.
The 2 acre lot No. 2, has on it a large house 74
feet by 50, built for a Tavern, with a kitchen and
ont-houses. There are also other lots that have
houses or summer tents, calculated for rent or
occupancy the ensuing season.
The sales will be made each day, until all are;
sold, between 10 and 2 o’clock, and one-fifth of
the amount of the purchase money must be paid
on the day of sale, in terms of the law, and the
balance “ iu four equal annual Instalments.”
A plan of the lo;s will be left with Col. Baley,
at the Springs, for the inspection of all persous
who may call.
It is expected by the Commissioners, that the
advantages o! the village contemplated at the In
dian Springs, in the use of Mineral Water, and
other prospects of health, ought and will bring
together a large number to compete for choice at
the time of selling the lots.

Southern Anti-Bilious Pills.
I T is worthy of remark, that the people ofthe
Southern States depend on those of tie North,
to prescribe Anti-Bilious Pills in a climate to
which the latter are, in a great measure, stran
gers, and consequently cannot kuow tbe peculi
arities and temperament of the system of those
in Southern sections, as well as those residing
there.
The Pills most commonly vended at the South,
are Lee’s New London Anfi-Biiious Pkls, which
are, beyond doubt, excellent laxatives, aud may
be sufficiently active on tbe bilious system for
ttye healthy State of Connection!, where they
are manufactured ; hut in the Southern States,
and particularly in the State of Georgia, wheir
the liver is often more or less engoVged, if will
be found they have but little effect in restoring
the healthy functions of that organ.
The'manufactnrer of the Southern Anti-BiliouS
Pills, has for several years been contemplating
a form of Pills, and has occasionally made alter
ations, until he believes be has now prepared an
Anti-Bilious Pill as well adapted to this country
as any Pills that have been, or jrrobably will be,
invented. And in a course of a considerable
practice, he has bad opportunities of conclusive
ly testing their efficacy. They are easy upon
the stomach, and unless that organ is und r con
siderable irritability, will not in the
ones repose at night; and when taken at latewd
time, will not ordinarily operate till morning.—
In cases of engorgement or torpidity of tbe lives
and where the spleen is affected, they will be
found equal, if not superior, to any form of laxi-
tive that can be given.

ceived and for sale at the AUGUSTA BOOK
