Hot-, to gu t ah.sloryio every face.” There is a charm that worids cannot d< fine, Yet it hath a secret power and mastery O’er the spirit; e’en in the heart of hearts We feel its influence—and such is hers Os whom the muse a record here would make. I know not that the sculptor might select Her as the model for his masterpiece Os skill—l know not that each feature may • Conform to the fixed laws of symmetry, Or in passing through a crowd she might not Fix each eye iu mstaut rapture. —She’s not The comet of her sex—no —nor shines she, Meteor like, dazzling at first view, and then Dissolving into airy nothingness. There may be many with a blow as fair, And cheek as deeply tinctured with the rose— There may be many with an eye as like To Heaven’s own azure—there may be many With a step as light as her serial one . All this may be, and mote;—and I might tell What she is not, from the first bln h of rnorn Until the weary sun declines within The Occident; but what she is, to tell, Or give a semblance, of the rarest charms That ever in harmonious union nestled In her face of expression exquisite, That seemed a living glow of sentiment Os high and lofty things, would be a task For which the muse must plume hei flight in vaiot For, oh! how poor were language to depict The forehead, arched and high—the proudest Ot Genius, ever Heticonia’s [dome Classic airs of inspiration breathed on And snowy temples wreathed in dark brown rolls Os clustering hair.—The fair, and polished brow— And the delicately pencilled curtain That half hid, and naif revealed an eye, that Caught its fire fiom realms of purer ether, That toid of all tne pure, and lofty thoughts, And high communings of a gifted spiiit— Then the ever . hanging and transparent cheek,— Barometer most perfect ofeac : thought On which, by turns, the lily and the rose Jo gentle strife prevails—ihe rainbow smile, And lips of purest coral.— Each feature And each grace—each, .he meanest one, might task A Poet’s pen of loftiest mood; —and then The union exquisite of all these ( harms Within themselves most exquisite;—and then There was a cast of thought, rs cha>m o’er ail, That taught the eye to linger and forget To turn away; and threw a spell around The heart, it would in vain resist. O! think Os all that’s fair and beautiful on Earth, And then of all that you have heard oi Heaven; Think of the most lovely dream that ever Your delirious fancy r< vel ed in,— The bright and starry garnituie of night— sp'_ ing, with its just opening flowers; call to mind 'N®’- The richest note of music; dwell upon The sweetest strain that Poetry can yield Think of these beauties separate, and apart, Then in sweet concert, heightened, and refined At by the alchymy, I hat lovers u<e In the boundless wild wor-hip of first love. 1 hen a ith thy mind n’erwrought to ecstacy And glowing with perceptions of the pure, Sublime, and beautiful— ome feeble guess You may divine of her I would pourtray. Ob! when I gaze on beauty such as this I cannot choose but thick ’tons in kindness Sent, to wean the beait from this grovelling world’s Debasing joys, and e’en from sordid self, And fit it for bis better home in heaven, E. [for the courier ] THE YUCA. OR SPANISH BAYONET. Where the warm south a milder grace Sheds o’er old Winter’s rugged mien, A hardy plant maintains its place la foliage of pereuial green. But not like Summer’s fading flower t hose leaves, with, thin and flexile form, Wave brightly for a sunny hour, To die before the gathering storm. No Those firm leaves the trunk conceal, And forth their bristling circle grows, Formed like those points of glittering steel, The terror of Columbia’s foes. Rash were the hand should dare iuvade, Unarmed, that guarded Southern t ee,' As near 'he pine tree’s scanty shade It rears its head, proud, graceful, free. But when, by May to Georgia led. The s >ft Southwest comes gently on, And every field-flower rears its head. And every threatening blast is gone, Ob! lovely round Augusta’s bowers A hat guarded Southern tree is seen, The sn >wy whiteness of iis (loners Contrasling with those points of green. But Nature's page, with rays illumed Os truth wliii h Poets onlv know, Tell us, not always ihus have bloomed Those armed leaves, those fl:- versos snow. A Fairy once who loved to rest Within the Li y’s spotless bell, Asked, bending o’er h r favorite’s breast, A tie flower her secret giief to tell. Loveliest of al 1 the bright parterre, Why hangs my flow her trembling bead? Oh could thy Fairy's fondest care Another grace around thee shed?” ** FsK'Vf” ihe Ldy sad replied, My »<nv brief days are passed in fear; Each «ao P'uck my pearly pit de; * No point, no guardian thorn is near.” The Fairy waved her wand of gold; The Lilly owned ihe powerful spell; Strong le; vcs in isaoy a circle rolled The rash intruding touch repel. Above, the enchanted eye perceives A hundred spotless lilies wave; Bedow, the green and pointed leaves Rise like the weapons of the brave. jßince then, the Yoca bolds her place, Embl-m f Georgia’s gem rous youth, fern, e pm ty and grace Guarded t'y manly strength and truth.

From the S v tnnah Ge orgian. Old Chatham true to Union. The meeting yesterday <»f “the Citizens of Chatham County, Friends of the Union and opo sed to Nullifi’a’ion, as pro p<>uiided by those in this Siafe who have' styled themselves to be the State Rights Party,” was cheering to the advocates of Constitutional Liberty. At ihe appointment hm»r tho venera ble President of the meeting was called to the Chair, and r Vice President ap- Doiutmerii. A C mmittee of twenty-font Citzeus, distinguished for years, talen and respectability, after retiring, then re ported ihe R epublican Resolutions which appear in our columns. Thev were re ceived with loud approbation by the meeting, composed of the staunch and u .yielding advocates of the principles of Him. whose pen traced in bold aid glow ing language the Rights of the then hi - teen United Col »oies. Tne approbation though fond, w is yet as calm as tire breeZe which displayed to the Patriot’s ken the Stripes and Stars of America, w<ving from ihe S eecte of tire Exchange; Free men met o assert their principles and to embody them in language which ho rSsr less agi ator could misapprehend. The Resolutions weie seconded bv George W. Owens, Eq. after some patri tic re. .macks, and supported in a brief but el i qnent addtess by M H d A dis er, E-q The language of he Speakers eiici ed rapturous and frequent busts of applan e from the meeting We have never wit nessed an assemblage in obr C >un'y, more numerous >r more respectable, no ver one mote unanimous. But we will not detain our readers from the perosa of ihe Resolu tons Tney speak in clear er language than any thing f*om us could, trie doctrines wh ch are the P >lar Star of the Union snd State Rights AsaaciA tion of Chatham. We mus n>> , however, dm''’ to men tion that the proud “Stripes vnd Stars” of our Country were display ed from he tnast-heud of all the shipping in port—nt evidence that our gallant Tars are provd of the flag, which, waving over them in every sea, is 'heir certain protection from insult and oppression. GREAT UNION MEETING. Iu compliance wi h the c ill pub tshed in the Savannah Georgian, a numerous aid resiject tbm meeting of the Ci <z ns of Oha-ham Coun’y. was held yesterday at the Exchange Long R-cih. The meeting was orgm zed by the ar point uient of tne Honorable George Jones, as Presidetri; William B Bulloch. Esq. as V ce-Presidon'—and Doctor William 11. Cuyler, and Joseph L. Shaffer. E q as Secretaries. The object nf the meeting having been stated by b P evident, on motion of A. D. Ah ah.inis, E-q it was , Resolved Thu the President and Vice President do nominate a Commit tee of twenty four to report to this meet ing Resolutions and Proceedings sui able to tho exigency of the occasion on which we are assembled. In conformity herewith >he President and V> ce.President no n’luated the follow ing gentlemen: A D. Abrahams, John Davidson, John P Williamson, M H McAllister, Wibiain T.yior, Georg W Owens, George Aurier on, AxlL. ny P rter, Dr. J B Read, Robert \V. Pooler, A'iam Cope, Fredrick Deosler. John Shelhna \ A 1 xa' ler I. C . haw, Fredrick Hub, I’boinai Purse, Dr William Parker, Edward B >ai quin, Robert Taylor Amos Scwß'er, Dr. Moses Sheflall, Ralph King. George Schley, Aaron Champion, The Commit ee retired and s-ib eqc-ni Iv reported the fill -wing Preamble and Resolutions, which we«e read: The adeption of our present form of Government, coosutnted a new euoch in the Civil II -torv of Man. Monarchy a hereditary Nobility, and an established Church, had been deemed essential K ihe existence of well organized ' Govern meets. The great experiment of Man’s capability for .’elf L< gislati m, was rcse v ed I>r -bo Sages of die Revolution. An experiment, which according to ns res ol s, will io the sequel, svrve to erec> up <>n the ruins ot ar stocraiic power the j s. R'ghts of Mao ,’or fix more securely iht 1 foundations of such power upon he pros* irate liberties of the people. Oar Sires, in the prosecution f their object, hadie sort to our present form of Government. Thai, like every other human institu ion, it is imperfect, we d-> not deny. B n who can devise one more free from im p«t feci ion, more prolific of glorious re sults,-han hat, which has been transmit’ ted us by ejui PairiotjFathers? Beneath its fostering influence, this infant Hercules of Nations has a risen with a rapidry be yond all parallel, and the eye of ihe Pa triot can see in the distant perpsec'ive, Liberty beckoning her onward to the ac complishment of destinies, still more glo-‘ nous, Can it be, that our beloved Conn try, so prosperous in the commencement of her career, is doomed to perish by the discord of her sons 1 The Empires of the East, the Grecian Republics, and, Imperial Rome, all bent beneath the piessure ot age, and the accumulated cor ruptions of centu>ies. We will hope tha the fairest form < f Government which the wisdom of man ever devised, is not destined to afford a melancholly and soli tary insiance of premature decay and dis’ solution. That political differences should exist in a free government, is both to be exoec ed and des.red. For, as in the natural world, wi hout motion <he vety air we breathe wvuld become impure, so in the political,the institutionswe venerate would I become corrup wi hour the agitation re« suiting from the excitement and vigilance consequent on political differences of o pimon. But when those differences of opinion are noCteot fiired to‘the measures of an administration, or the, expediency of a particular train of legislation, but a rise from a divetsity of sentiment as to fntrdamemal principles of government When that diversity of, sentiment threat ens in its agitations the foundation of our institutions, it becomes‘«iha duty of every, the humblest citizen, a duty imposed op en him bv the venerauon he feels towards ihe institutions of hi? Fathers, by the sa« cred obligation which devolves upon him to transmit them to his children, to ex press fearlessly distinctly his opinions, and to h >ld himself pi epared to sustain them. Impressed with the c uviction that such are the exigencies of ihe pres“ ent tim s, your committee would respect fully recommend tho adoption of >ho fol- I wing Resolutions! That in attachment to the Union of these S ates, and in a determin ation to support the reserved rights of the S ates, we y eld to no men or party of men, whatever name they may be pleased to assume. ~ Resolved, That we hold ourselves pre pared io resist, by all constitutional means, inVision on he rights of the States, or aggression by a S ate on the legitimate powers of ihe Federal Government. Resolved, That acknowledging to its itillest extent the fundamental rule of all free governments, that s »vereiga>y eman ates from, and is inherent in the people, we acq fiesce in the doctrine of Thomas Jefferson, that <ho State and Federal Governments, the organs ot that sove. reig !i iy, ‘are co-ordinate departments ot ( ne simple and integral whole’—that in con’r veisies between them. ‘»he ultimate arbiter is ihe people of the Union, as sembled by their Deputies in Convention, at ihe call of Congress, or ot tWo-ihiids of the Sta'es,’and that‘they are to de cide to which they mean t > give an 4<i. thm jiy claimed by two of their organs.’ Resolved In -he language of die same illustrious authority. That'll has been tqe peculiar wisdom and felicity <>f u Constitution to have provid d h s peace able anneal, where (he resort of other na i n« is ai , nee tv force,' Resolved, That oad consti’uiitorral mea ts have bee« exhausted—and an a ward -f thi- ultimate arbiter >bi uned, (■ in go d faith sought to be ob ained, tin action of a Slate nth • view to bsrru t ( law of the Federal Government, wdic rs intended to opera e th>oughou th State , is inconsiderate, dangerous and if logal—calculated t-» produce anarchy J> oar goverutnen , and rum to our presr-.u ha -i’ ms ita toi s Resolved, rhdt the p wer cai tied bv aS• i.e to irn-st ne whole un ith net vof Government by obstruc mg the executi of a genet il law »f tne U sited Siam*, is power urn sou .dcd on any provision » f tho Fedet-tl C -nsutiiti >u, hut can rt.sui only fr <m “ h it natural right which every people have to resist intoierab o oppress sion.” Resolved, That be proceedings of ths Federal Government do not authorize u resort to ihis natural right. Resolved, That a sep»?raiL n of thus- States can result only from a resort l< that natural right— liat the doctrine Sought to be impressed upon the People, that Nullification, or what is eq-iivalen .thereto, the power of a S>«ieto arrest i will, the movements of the Federal G >v ernment, is a peaceable or Uonstiiutionai remr'dvps a doctrine calculated to deceive the People and tn prepare them gradual ly for civil strife. Resolved, Thai we now form an A-ae cia ion for the purpose of sustaining the principles embodied in 'he foregoing res* elution*. Resolved That this Association sh -II be called ihi Union and State Rights socia i->n of Uhaiham C-iunty.

Mr. Forsyth occupied the floor of the Senate to day till the usual hour of ad« jouromeni, without concluding his speech. His remarks were in his usud style, courteous, well-tempered, ingenious, uu pretending, and very little, labored. Os course he was well attended to, for he never speaks merely for the sake of speak ing; and always dismisses a point the mo ment he makes it -intelligible and clear. He defended the Piesident drid Mr. Sec retary Taney, with much address, from the seveial charges u ged or intimated against them by Mr-Clay, Mr. Calhoun and others. Ills answer to Mr. Webster’s question, “What is to be done!” he made prompt ly and clearly, putting it, too, in the very front of his speech. He did not go into particulars, to be sure, but it seemed to me that ihere was a sirikiog accordance between his views of what ought tube done, and the views of Mr. Webster, though ihe process of reasoning by winch each arrives at this C( mmon point is very disaimilaf-. I voted, said Mr Forsyth, for his Bank, in 1816; i think it has done good and I believe it has acted ill I will pot vote for the renewal of the exis ting charcier, but I stand prepared o vote to-morrow for a Naticnal Bank, un der sucli modifications and restrictions as exoerieuce Has shown to bo proper, and 'his I will d - without anv referenr.d to •he opinions and policy of an existing or rn expecied Administration. In'ernal Improvement.— a mooting B the S (C.k dders of the S eamboai Com oanv of Georgia held yesterday al their ffico, it was determined that a survey of tne route for a Cana! from Augusta to •me point on the Savannah River (so as to avoid the sima s and other impediments to the Gee navigation of be same,)sljould se made. The stockholders have au th x .zed the Directors to procure r skil > i Engiuer, and wo understand that so s- on as a competent person can be ob Jned, tiie survey of the route will be im n (Lately commenced.

Samuel Rockwell,was on the 25th nit. unanimously re-elected President of •he Darien B'anchßank, at Milledgeville. The Cataract of the Ganges, announced for exhibition in the Circus To-night, is an inter*- esting Melo-Drama. It is believed it will !>d. got up with as much splendor and ability l - aS Timour, which had the run of last week. The rising of the curtain discloses the Arabs »nfl their horses lying down in the moonlight—s scene which those who have witnessed will not soon forget. We had nearly forgotten to no err* tion a circumstance, which will add interes t to its exhibition to night. It is intended for tlfe Benefit of Mrs. Palmer. IEF We are requested to state that to-ir iot-. row evening Mr Harrington takes his bent fit. A Floridia Bank at Magnolia, lat jly failed, furnishes some singular co in ci dences. Its omie was the Merchants a--d Planters Bank*—’its President is res sponsible directly or bv endorseme nt, for 75.603$ holding 1693 shares, And there were bu?7' Stockholders. It re ported a perfectly sound state ofitsaffi irs un the 4th of November and was a bat k rupt on 25>h of January ensuing. T 'ha report of the Committee of investigat on furnishes ether singular items which we have out 'ime to gather. They conch dft their report by saving that, if Gordon Pace and Patton nay tho amount tl iey. owe the Bank, the bills will be redeem ?d; if not, it wilt ba an entire loss to the co m. mnnity. Tho failure has created as much excitement as its namesake did here. Who was it ? If we *eeollnct, it was the Sentinel, that recently fount! fault with the comparison of states with Counties, in shon ing the disorganizi >g tendency of Nullifica ion, and seemed to think that nothing had a righjt to do as it pleases, unless it had some sovereignty. We sty th-- comparison ig? a (Mr one, by way of illustration, even if carried down to indivi duals. A man, before society was formed, in that state of Nature, to obviate the evils of which, societies and nations weto originally or* gan'zed. was perfectly sovereign and uncon trolled by any thing but his physical His will -vas law—his fiat the source of his atu tions and no one had a right to say yea or nay to him. Th'e s>me principles of sovereign right actuMf-d bix conduct that now do sove-. reign communities—the right to consult his own interest and pleasure -n his own way, unconr trolled by any power but his ow » will. Wha» else contro’s sovereign nations? It is true, thev profess to take the laws of Nature and Na tions for their guide; but how long are these* rules of action for those, who have only a corn* mon conscience and common responsibility ?—» •ust so long as they are believed not to stand in the way of 1 their supposed inter?; t and tern; porary wishes. The ordinary divisions of lap* ger comtnuntties may be readily conceived to have once stood.in a situation similar to indivi dual men in the supposed state of Nature. If we remember, Liberty Ccouty i>- th's State re» Ceived its envied name from standing in this si* tuation at the coin men cement of the Revolu tion, alone and isolated from all others, in its assertion of the right of self-government, and sent its representative to the General Hoogress,. Itis not the size ofa nation that invests itwitn so-. vefeignty. It .s its spirit. Itis true, the extent of territory and const qnent population may enable, it to maintain its sovereignty, but do not invest it with any such attribute. From associated indi viduals, smaller societies were formed for mu tual protection and defence, ®r if you for successful aggression on oih-is—from tliese, larger communities and nations were formed, according to circumstances, arising from the’na tare of the country, the circumscribing iiiflu ence of mountains, large rivers and other Natu ral barriers And on this very principle was formed the union of these States—to preserve them from foreign aggression, and secuie inter nal peace and tranquillity. Men in a stat jof nature, when about forming an associatior of, say two or three or four udivi<t«als aga ost some strovg man. who was more than a match so» eithe of th ,m sinely, what <Ld they do ? Re tain all their rights —astinne no new obligations in* consistent with their previous pet feet indepen dence? Certainly in associating, each gave up some of his natural liberty, as necessary to th? attainment of their common object. Fox instance, they all agreed for this to obey the directions of one of the party, in theif attacks upon the strong individual, the oppres sor probably of all. They surrendered the right of exclusive control in the exercise of some of their rights, in order to preserve the who's from annihilation by superior power. In this way, by the union of individuals, and then of these smaller clubs into larger communities* were all the nations of the earth originally ag sneiated. Each society, when it connected it*, self with another, entered into new obligations, merging the right of natural independence in the obligations, which were necessary to tbeir mot to a I protection. Is not this perfectly plain ? And is it nofr matter of history, still witbin the personal known ledge of Bome-of us, that these United States were formed on this principle—with a surrena der of part of their natural rights, without which no Government can exist—the mntuak surrender of natural wilfulness—the waiving of minor considerations, in or-ter to secure thft great ends of national secur ty and tranquillity, indispensable to the free enjoyment of our cial and civil immunities. Il is unnecessary ■ j us to enumerate those portions of sovereiM right who h the several states have their common government. \Ve have iy done so. We shall only say, they are so onerous and of such high character, as to der perfectly ridicuious the ascription of shorn sovereignty to the individual umbers H the Confederacy.,
