cowards have eten fought, nay, sometimes even

Falsification of the Scjuptubes—
A Rev. gentleman in England, named
"Curtis, h is recently made some appalling
disclosures in relation to the careless end
ioiq titous manner in which the University
editions of the Holy Bible—published b*v
the King’* printer—and put forth to the
world. Mr. Curtis has exposed some en
ormous errors, and variations from the o
tiginal text, as given in King James* time.
Six hundred mistakes have been found
iu one book, eight hundred in another
is many of them most important, and all
.of them most inexcusable. Some of the
grosser ones, which would seem to have
4ieen concerted and iutentfoaal, have bben
rife for forty years. The true sense of
Holy Writ, it is contended has been great
ly warped by these errors; and measures
are beiog taken to have them rectified in
all fuime editions of the Scriptures pub
lished in England. It is stated that the
churches in America had long since adop.
ted not gos the editions in question, as a
<3«si<ir<f;if r s»,i( is of the last importance,
we should conceive, to import one of the
corrected copies, now preparing, at the
eat best period. The writer very justly
r emarks, and with much sorrowful feeling
that such perversions of the Sacred Word’
have given rise to more scoffers aod infi
dels, ilnn could,have been otherwise pro
d iced by any one cause. V

and you know I an’t slow—and to prove
to you that I am not, I will tell you an
anecdote. I was concerned myself, and
I was .fooled a little of the and ■-—-lest.
Ymi ali know I love hunting. Well I
discovered a long lime ago that a ’coon
couldn’t stand my grin. J could bring one
tumbling down from the highest tree. I
oever wasted powder and lead when I
wanted one of the creatures. Well, as I
was walking out one night, a few hundred
yards from my house, looking carelessly
about mo, I saw a ’coon planted upon
ono of the highest limbs of an ol I tree.—
The night was very moony and clear, and
old Ratler was with me ; but Ratler wont'
bark at a ’coon—he’s a queer dog in that
way. So I thought I’d bring the lark
down, in the usual way, by a grin. I set
myself, and, after grinning at the ’coon a
reasonable time, found that he didn't come
down. | wondered what was the reason.
1 took another steady grin at him. Still
lie was there, It made me a little mad ;
so I felt round, and got an old limb, about
five feet long—and, planting one end up
on the ground* I placed my chin upon the
other, and took a rest. 1 theo grinned mv
best for about five minutes, but the ad
’coon hung on. So, finding I could not
biing bitn down tiy grinning, ( determin
ed to have him, for I thought be must be
a droll chap. I went over to the house,
got my axe, returned to the (ree, saw the
’coon still there, and began to cut away.
Down it come, and I run forward ; but
d—n the’cooo it eras nc4 (here to be seeo.
I found that what I oad taken for one,
was a large knot upon a branch of the tree
—and, upon looking at it closely, I saw
that 1 had grinned all the bark “off, and
left the knot perfectly smooth.
“ Now, fellow.citizens,” continued the
Colonel, "you must be convinced, that in

«Case of George Gran stein.
JUDGE BAY’S REPORT.
Court of Sessions Sf Common Pleas Odl
Term. Exparte ) Upon a Petition for
Geo. Granrtein J Citizenship.
On the 7th October last the Petitioner
presented his Petition, during the sitting
of the Court, to be admitted <o the right
of citizenship; and the same being taken
into consideration, he appeared to be
entitled to that priviledge, and was order
ed' to be admitted, on his taking the usual
oath of allegiance to ihe State ofSouth C.
aud fidelity to the.Uuited States.
Upon the Clerk’s tendering the oath
to the Petitioner., his Counsel, Mr Haig,
objected’to his taking that part of the oath
which related to his allegiance to the
State of South Carolina,'but was willing
to take that part which related to the U.
States. Whereupon 1 refused to admit
him as a citizen, unless be took the usual
and customary oath of allegiance to the
State of S. Carolina, as well as that of fi
delity to the United States.
The grounds upon whicbl refused,to ad
mit him were briefly the following.
Ist.—that South Carolina was a Sov
ereign and Independent State, and had
an unquestionable to prescribe the
terms and conditions upon which she
would ajmit aliens to the rights and priv
ileges of ciiizenship t from the day she as
sumed her sovereignty to the present tiino
by the Law of Nations, and the rights of
all civilized Slates.
Secondly—that she had uniformly ex
ercised this right and power, from the
earliest period of her independence,[even
before the .independence of the United
Slates was declared;] for in the constitu
tion of 1776, the form of the oath is pre
scribed and directed.
And in ihe-Constitution of 19th March
1778.. the same form was laid down aod
directed, after the independence of the
U. States of America.
Also, in the Act of March 1786 to
confer the right of Citizenship, the Oath
is prescribed to be adminrsterd to aliens
on being admitted.

HAIG, Pro Pet.
Court of Appeals April Term. 1833.
Exparte, 1 OPINION.
Geo. Granstein J O’Nevle J’
The 4ih paragraph of the Bih section,
Art. 1 of the Constiiuiion of the Uni-
ted Stales, provides that Congress shall
have the power “to establish an uniform
role of naturalization, & uniform laws on
ihe subject of banktuptcies, throughout
(he United States.” In 1802, Congress
passed an Act to establish an uniform
rule of naturalization, and to repeal the
Acts heretofore passed on that subject,
which, amongst other conditions to the
admission of an alien to the rights of Cit
izenship, proscribes “lhat he shall at ihe
lime of his application to be admitted,
declare on Oath, before some of the
Courts aforesaid, that he will support the
Constitution of the United States, and
(hat he doth absolutely and entirely re
nounce and abjure all allegiance and fi
delity te every Foreign Prince,Potentate,
State or Sovereignty whatever, and par
ticularly by name the Prince, Slate or
Sovereignty whereof he was before a cit
izon or subject. * — 2nd Latos of the Uni
ted States , by Story 850
The Petitioner, who had complied witn
all tho other recfiisitee of the Act of Con
gress, offered at the time of his applica
tion to be admitted, to make tiie declara
tion on Oath,re(f»ired by it: but the Pre
siding Judge thought he must - also take
an Odth of allegiance to the State. This
he declined to do, and his npplication was
on that account dismissed. The question
now, is whether the Presiding Judge had
a right to administer an additional oath
to the Petitioner.
In passing upon fills question, it may
be useful to promise tha* wc have nothing
to do with the consequences of the oath
required by the Act of Congress. We
are only to declare what the law is, not
the obligation which the oath imposes.
It is perhaps due however to the occasion
to say, that I entertain no doubt that an
Alien, when admitted to be a citizen, ac
quires all the righ s (except tha of being
elected President) and incurs all the ob
ligations of a native citizen*
lie owes precisely the samo allegiance,
and must in the same manner discharge
the duties consequent upon nativity and
residence, to the State or the LTniied
States.
•The power to establish a uniform rule
of naturalization is in the express words
of the Constitution of the United States,
granted to Congress ; and the Act of
Congress of 1802, was passed in pursu
ance of that power. The oath prescrib
ed fay it was the only one which could be
required to be taken as a pre-requisite to
the admission of the so far
as the legislation of Congress affects this
question.
Is there any law of the State which
required any other additional oath to be
administered t It is perfectly clear on
examining our Statute Book, that there
is none.
The oaths referred to by -the Judge
below, were the oaths of office prescribed
by the old Constitutions, and not citizen
ship. These weie superseded by the
<>atb of.office of our new Constitution
The act of 1784 (P. I, 339 340.) was re
pealed by the act of 1780 (P. L. 412,)
which is an act, not to naturalize, but to
confer on aliens some of the rights of
citizens; its provisions are substantially
coactmeo s granting the rights aod privi
leges of cit zenship to aliens. The act
of 1788 (P V L. .443) merely provides
means whereby it might be ascertained,
and a record preserved of such aliens as
had been naturalized before the adoption
of the Federal .Constitution.
The act of 1799, (2d Faust 273) grants
the rights and privileges of citizenship to
aliens upon taking and subscribing an
■ oath or affirmation of allegianceV The
act of 1807 (Acts, 59, 60J is in direct af
firmation of tho act of Congress, as hav
ing established the only rule of naturaliza
tion recognized or roquired by this Stare.
For the provision of the act provides
“ that every alien previously to his or her
being entitled to avail hint or herself of
any of the benefits of this act shaH de
clare his or her intention to become a citi ■
zen of the United State 3, agreeably to
the act of Congress in such case made aud
provided .”
From this review of the legislation of
tbe State, it is most manifest that there is
no law of the State, which requires that
am alien upon being admitted a citizen
. should take no oath of allegiance to the
State.
From the adoption of the Federal Con
stitution., South-Carolina, true to her
principles of fidelity to it, has never at
tempted to interfere with ihe naturahzi
tion of Aliens.
The oath prescribed by the act of
Congress is tbe only one which any law
requires to be taken by an Alien on be
coming a citizen : The motion to reverse
the decision of the Judge below is there
fore granted.

entitled “The Life of a Sailor,” publish

lowing anecdote of a captain of a frigate,
who, having sprung his main yard in a
gale .of wind, and being off Lisbon, fell in
with a gun boat belonging to that port.
A: the captain wished 10 repair the dama
ges without going to England, ho esired
a man, who declared he could speak
Spanish,which understand,
to be sent for. “Here Joues,’ said the
captain, “ask t his gemieram how long
they would be in Lisbon, in making us
anew main yard!’—Jones turning his
quid, began, “Senlior,rouado cum squar
ro; how long yon mtkeo ihe main yard
for John Ingli'to”—“No iniende,” was
the answer. “Wliat does he say ?” ask
ed the captain. “N o its ien days,’, said
the interpreter. “Not in ten days!’ ro

THE DAVID BROWN.
We copy the following descrip
tion of this boat, from the N. Y. Travel
let, Journal and Times, of 6 h inst.
“We have been favored with a survey
of this most beautiful vessel, and we nev*
er saw any thing more admirably calcula
ted to deprive a sea voyage of its much
dreaded annoyances. To prove her stead
iness and capability, it is but needful to
remind our readers, that the DaVid Brown
made five trips to Charleston dnring the
dep h of last winter, in the months of De
cember and January, and yet through that
whole period, her engine never started a
bolt or strap, nor was a hammer once laid
on it, or u repair teq iired. Capt. Pen
noyer who comm irds her, and is one of
the most gentlemanly men that “ evsi
stepped between stem and stern,” sta es
that she was all the time as dry as a pow
der 4souse, that a stove, four feet high,
which he showed us, stood tin ashed in
the cabin without moving an inch, and
his dining .table, which is very heavy,
stands on castors and draws out 18 feet,
never swerved during the whole of the
passages. Her sharp build causes the sea
to exercise comparatively little power o
ver her, so that sickness on board was ex
ceedingly rare, and slight.
‘'She has been entirety new fitted from
end to end. Her dining room on the deck
is as spacious and elegant as that of many
a fashionable hotel, and the titmosPskiil
and ingenuity have been exercised to ren
der a sea voyage as convenient as the art
of m in can make it.
,r Jas. P. Allaire, her enterprising btlil
der and owner, has supplied her with an
entirely fresh boiler oif his own invention,
for the purpose of horning.only the native
anthracite coal. It-is an -ingenious and
excellent contrivance, and lessens the
bulk of -he boiler most materially. Her
jengioe is about seyenty horse power, and
acts as easily as a piece of clock work.—
She is caoaole of accommodating sixty
five passengers, and their chance of com
fort may be judged of bv the fart that she
did nos sh’p a bucket of wa'er during all
her trips.
‘‘f’apt. Pennoyer is extensively and fa
vorably known to eveiy one familiar, with
Charleston & its neighborhood ; and will
make his first voyage in her tiiia season
on 8 itiuday next Ayo mg, lovely, and
spirited daughter of the proprietor ac
coinpan ed the vessel in h r voyages to

would harm one who so nobly faced them.
The Davidcißrowikhaa been accustomed
to make hot passages in somewhere about

IRISH SUPPRESSION BILL.
This bill was introduced to the House
of Commons on the 2Jth of February.—
ft was advocated by the Minister «and o
thers, and warmly opposed as a death
blow to the constitution by Mr. O’Con
nell, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. Buiwer. <s• others.
The debate continued <£ve da.ye; when a
division took place, and there aj»peared
for the .first reading 466, against it 89
majority for ministers 377. The bill was
ihen read a first time, and ordered tp be
read again on the -Bth March.
Mr. O’Connell inquired whether the
Irish Church Reform bill was likely to be
introduced this week. Tire Chancellor
of the Exchequer replied in the affirma
tive. His Lordship was understood to
stare, in answer to a question from Mr.
Hume, that a bill on the subject of the law
of debtor and creditor, in consequence of
the report of a Commitle 3 years ago, was
under considera'ton.
The Chancellor of tho Excheqaar
said, in answer to Lord C Sihtterset’s in
quiry, that be could not slate when there
was likely to be any report from the Pour
La vs’ Commissioners; b«l4ie would learn,
if possible, from the Commissioners.
Mr. F* Buxton corrected an erroneous
impression of what had resulted from re
marks of the Marquis of Chandos on pre
vious night. Mr. Buxton said he had not
withdrawn his notice respecting the abol
ition of negro slavery. The original no
tice was conditional: to depend on the
proceedings of Ministers: if they proposed
do measure, he should not abandon his
motion. He declared that no measure
would be effective that did not propose
entire and immediate abolition of negro
slavery. He observed that it was rumor
ed there was an end of the pegotiaHons
between tho Ministers and the West In
dia body; he trusted such was not the fact
—lie had some reason for believing it
was not; at the same time he emplored
that body not to loose this opportunity of
settling the question, feeling persuaded
tha' set vile war must result fiom delay.
Chancellor of the Exchequer after
wards, in a Committee of Ways and
Means, proposed the continuation of the'
sugar duties. Tho proposition called forth
a good deni of convor aiioi*; but it was e
ventually carried, opposition beiug threat
ened on the bringing up of the report,

formed that tho mission of M. Dedel will
hasten the immediate agreement with
Great Britain and France, after which
rhe sanction of the other three Powers will
follow in course. .

Medical Institute of Georgia.
The first Comin.-noeinent of this Institution
was held on the I7th inst. Tho Class consisted,
this Winter, of 28 Gentlemen, on four whom
the degree of Doctor of M' dicine was conferred,
viz:
'lsaac Bowen, Theses, On the B ond, in Greek*
Edward A. Eve, Dyspepsia.
Thomas W. Grimes, Dysentery.
John McD. Borders, Asthma.
Tbe-exerrises of Ihe occasion were commenc
ed and ended with prayer; and on presentation
of Diplomas, Judge Longstreet, Piesident of
ike Board of Trustees, addressed the Graduate*
and Class. We shall publish tbe Address ip
Monday's Courier.
Thus has ended the first Course of Lccturq?
in the Medical Institute of Georgia—an Institu
tion, which the State should 1 foster in every way
within its power. The Gentlemen of the Class,
we arc pleased to learn, have been as much dis
tinguished for their general good behavior as
they have for the diligence, with which they
have prosecuted their studies. The Professors
are not as much known as they deserve to be.
and will be, if highly respectable talents, and
untiring zeal in their profession, and in promi
ting the respectability and usefulness.-of this
rising Institution, can give celebrity to human
exertions.
The Professors are imstly young men—-Tliry
have their fame to establish—-do not rest like old
members of ike same Profession on what they
have done—they spring forward to -the goal of
Piofessional ambition with a bold step and ar
dent temperament, and all within the sphere of
their action feel the animating influence of their"
example- The old Professor is satisfied with
the reputation he has acquired—age has damped
his literary fire—his ambition is satisfied. It is
not so with young and rising Merit. Fired by
the prospect ahead, his ardent zeal brooks no
delay—ha rushes on himtelf and urges all with
him—his finger constantly pointing to the high
est object of literary hope. There, every eye
rests with his—thither strain every footstep ;
and if aU do not succeed in reaching it, the
whole are cheered and benefited by the approx
imation. Old Professors become dull from sa
tiety—the young are never full, and the conta
gious influence of their valour example ani
mates all in the pursuit of knowledge and has
tens its acquisition. That somethio g, like wha!
we have been attempting to describe, influences
the young and the old, we appeal to the Institu
tions of the world—to the experience of all. On
this account Infant Institutions, with Professors
in the vigor of life, ere preferable for student?;
