"THE GREY MARE IS THE BET-
TER HORSE.”
Mr. Editor.— ln an old Gazette of
1784,-is contained the fallowing humo
rous account of the origin of the above pro
verbial phrase, usually applied to those,
unfortunate gentlemen wh olive under the
gentle dominion of female government.
•I am sure that its perusal will afford
your readers (particularly the softer sex)
some amusement. 1 have too often, how
ever, experienced the soo'Hiing influence
'of woman’s sympathy,to believe for a mo
ment that the application of this anecdote
(at least in its harshest features) can be
general in this liberal community whose
fair daughters wear with so much grace
"man’s rough image more elegantly
touched.” s
But to return, I have sent you an ex
tract (with some verbal alterations in the
style and phraseology) with which you I
can- act as you please.
I am, respectfuly, your obd’nt. servant. !
AN OLD MAN NOT QUITE 76.
"A gentleman of a certain county, in
England, marred a young lady ol wealth
•and accomplishments, but aias! he soon
discovered that she was a most intolera
ble shrew. After enduring this earthly
purgatory as lung as he could, he resolv
ed io break his fetters by a del.berate sep-
He accordingly went to her
lather, and with a rueful countenance in
formed him, that he could no longer live
with his daughter, and that if be would
receive her Lack he would restore her
whole fortune. The old gentleman after
ascertaining the cause ofhis.misery, calm
ly informed him, that he was near.y in the
same situation with every married man.
The young gentleman, however, pos
itively denied th is assertion, and declared
that he was the most wretched being in
existence.
“Sir, (replied the old min) you must
have but little knowledge of the world, if
you do not know that all women govern
their husbands, though not in the same
mode. In order however, to end the dis
pute, I will stake the truth of my assertion,
on the. following expedient, if you agree
to adopt it.
I will furnish you with fire horses,
which you can harness to a cart, in which
1 will place a basket containing o?ie hun
dred eggs, and if on, travelling through
the country, and leaving a horse, where
you ascertain, on strict inquiry, that the
husband governs, and rneraly an egg, >
where the wile rules, you shall find that .
the eggs are disposed of before the horses, ;
I trust, that, you will not consider your
ett’n case, so very desperate, but be satis
fied to return home, and regard your wife
thereafter, as no worse than her neigh
bors. If on the Other hand, you get rid
of the horses before the eggs, I will take
my daughter home again, and you may
retain her fortune.
This proposal was eagerly accepted,
and our Benedict sallied forth, flushed
with the hopes of soon relieving himself
of his Jive horses! and of course of his
gentle mate. At the first house where he
arrived, he was soon convinced from pal
pable appearances, that the /at/?/governed,
and accordingly left an egg, without iqui
ry-
At the next house he met with no better
success, and so at every other house, until
his eggs were nearly exhausted. At I
length he came to the mansion of a gen-1
tieman of great influence in the country, I
when knocking at tile door, he inquired,
if the Master was at home, and was told
by a servant that his master was in bed, '
but, that, if he would alight, his mistress I
was in the parlour. He did so and the'
lady received our traveller with much ci- j
vility, and informed him, that, unless his )
business was urgent, she did not wish to 1
disturb her husband. “ Why, really
madarne, said hr, as I wish oniy to ask a
question, you can answer it as well your
self, ii you will be but candid with me;
you may think it impertinent, (especially
in a stranger,) but, as a considerable wa
ger depends upon it, I hope you will ex
cuse me. Fray then, inform me, whether
you govern your husband, or he rules
you.—The l/idy replied without hesita
tion, that it had always been her pride to
obey her husband in all tilings—but, that,
if a woman’s word was to be suspected, m
such a case, he could answer for himself,
lor there he came
The gentleman, at that moment entered
the room and being informed of the busi
ness, confirmed every word, which his
wile, had reported in her own favor.
On this, he was requested to make a
selection from the five horses in the cart,
and to accept of it as a present -
An elegant black charger struck the
gentleman’s fancy, but the lady preferred
the grey mare, which she thought would
suit the side-saddle. The busband urged i
many reasons, why the black horse should
be preferred: but Madame still persisted
in her preference for the grey mare, “Is
it possible, (she exclaimed) that you will
not take her? but 1 say, you shall, for I
am sure the grey mare is the better horse.
‘Well my dear (replied the obedient bus
‘and) if it must be so,” —“you must take

1833 AND 1835.
It is natural that our friends at a distance
should be anxious to learn the result of the
Governor’s election, and to compare the
vote of the. present year with that of 1833.
The aspects of the returns from the black
streak of nullification, that rung across the
middle of the state, added to the thinness
of the vote in many strong counties, had
caused uneasiness to some of the true faith.
But you need not be alarmed, ye good am..
true patriots ! The strength is sti I yours,
and so is the glorious triumph ! ! It is true, {
that the returns are generally thin, and es
pecially from the upper counties, where I
we are always strongest. This is attribu
table to three causes. Ist, Tile excessive
rain in the mountain region, and on the
day ofthe election. 2d, The removal of
many of the people to the western and
northwestern counties. 3d, The great con
fidence ofthe Union party in their own
strength. But if we will compare the re
cent election with that of 1833, though we
shall find the actual vote of thisyear, less
than that of 1833, we shall nevertheless
find our mujorilv. com pa rat ieeli/ as great
the present year, as that which elected
Lumpkin. It will moreover be seen, that
while certain leading Union counties have
given much smaller returns this year,
than in 1833, certain leading nullification
counties have not much diminished their
votes, for the said reason given above, viz:
that while we felt confident and were idle,
the evil genius of nullification was hard
at work. The devil never looses any
time; and we told our friends so before
the election. Besides, we strongly sus
pect, that in certain nameless counties,
men, women and children go to the polls.
To prove that our estimate is correct,
k‘t us take four leading counties—two
?c/?i/f! sheep, and two black ones—for in
stance, Habersham, Dekalb, Elbert and
Greene.
Hrbersham in 1833 gave 1,447' voles,
In 183.5 396
Dekalb in 1833 gave 1,44 7 votes,
in 1835 1,(J27
Elbert in 1833 gave 1,076 votes,
In 1835 960
Greene in 1833 gave 787 votes,
In 1835 757
It appears that while Habersham and
Dekalb gave this year, 1.000 votes, less
than in 1833, Elbert and Greene gave but
156 less in this year than hi 1833.
Again; in 1833 Lumpkin obtained in
Habersham and Dekalb, 2066, while
Schley has but 1,238 in the same coun-
election Returns.
ties, or 828 less than Lumpkin, while in
Elbert and Greene, Crawford 1,636, and
Dougherty 1,558, or but 78 less than
Crawford.
The diminished vote of Schley in Hab
ersham and Dekalb may be accounted for
by the numerous removals to the new
counties, and to the bad weather. Where
removal is the cause, of course Schley
has gotten them at the new residences of
those hardy souls, who “ never mind the
weather, so the wind don’t blow.”
We merely make this estimate, that
our friends may be saved the trouble of
doing so; as well as to show them, that
whereever the Habersham and Dekalb
soldiers, and then worthy neighbors, go,
they will be found fighting under the
stars and stripes—and that they need not
be alarmed with the apprehension, that
that good cause has lost gtound—it has on
ly shifted it.
At the moment we write, we have the
returns from 77 counties, in which the
Union majority will not fail proportiona
lly below the. vote of 1833, when we take
into the estimate, the bad turn out of the
people. The truth is, the Union people
love their homes and their country, and ne
ver care to make a great fuss, when they
know “the republic is safe,” and the
“ Union preserved." We love their
“faith ” —but we should like to see it set
them more actively to “ work.”
t rom / / counties, Lumpkin’s majority
over Crawford was 2,077. From the
same number of counties, (and generally
the very same ones) Schley’s majority o-(
ver Dougherty, is now 1,962 only 116(
less than Lumpkin over Crawford. Thir
leen comities, to wit: Appling, Baker,
Cass, Emanuel, Floyd, Irwin, Lowndes?
Montgomery, Rabun, Sumpter, Tatnall’
I’homas and Ware, remain to be heard
from. In these counties, Lumpkin got a
majority some where between 6and & 7oo.
If Schley should get, say 550 from these
13 counties; this added to 1,962, will give
him a fraction over 2,500. We put'this
don nas a safe calculation. It may vary
a little either way—Lumpkin s majority
was 2,900 and a fraction.
And now may we not rejoice a little
with our friends 1 1 Are they not true to
the core! and true to the Star-spangled
banner! Yes; and if they will look at
the head of our columns, they will there
see in what a cordial manner, we give
them the right hand of fellowship—while
we pledge them, that so long as their
hands are thus joined to ours, so long
shall the unconquered Eagle, thus sup
ported, spread his wings in triumph,
screaming the while—“ I nited ice stand,
i divided we fall' — which God grant and
1 Uod forbid, forever and ever! !
We told the little clump of Baldwin
Nullies, on the night of the election, not to
“halloo before they got out of the woods.’’
We need not any longer admonish them
on this head. They will no doubt keep
a dignified silence.
So much for Col. Gamble’s certificates.
Since the above was in type we have re
ceived returns from several counties,
which do not materially change our cal
culation.—Standard of Union, Oct. 16.

“ All signs fail in dry weather,” they say. —
It seems so—the very clouds have deceived us
tor two or three days—promissing what is very
much wanted —as w. know nothing else effi
cient to lay the dust, our readers must expect,
we mean rain. But being a Van Buren man,
we don’t say so. W~e may say, however, that
the earth in this city and vicinity has not been
thoroughly wet since last May. The dust is
suffocating.
There are four statements of Judge Schley’s
majority—2,s7l—2,slo—2,s94— and 2,606. A
short time will test the matter accurately. We
want Union and Ware yet in the Congression

exceed that for Governor. We copy the fol

Our Candidate.— Governor Schley (that is
to be,) has not been found so easy to beat as his
opponents professed to believe him. In 1833,
Gov. Lumpkin’s official majority, we believe,
was—2,43o. Votes pulled—6o,7-54. This yi ar
fewer votes are polled,— say—s9,733,—and Gov.
S.’s majority i 5—2,571 Savannah Georgian.
We perceive, that the Augusta Races, for No
vember 24th, are still advertised by someof our,
brethern. As the matches were not made, on
which those races were expected depend
they will please to discontinue the advertise
ment. We understand, the proprietors of the
furl are making great preparations for the
January races, and that Gentlemen Sportsmen
will be accommodated with Stables to any re
quired extent. Some of the most interesting
contests are expected on that occasion between
the “Stars” of the Racing Calendar. Gov.
Hamilton, who really backed out his compeers
for the intended November contest, will be
here— Argyle, Miss Medley, Lady Nashville, &c.
If there is not a bad spirit abroad in Boston,
we cannot judge by the following paragraph
from the Gazette of that city.
“It was reported last evening that, on com

over to keep the peace. This, perhaps, is the
best disposition that can be made of the scoun
drel by the City Authorities; but the “citizens
generally" would like to use him up in some oth
er way.

The editor of the Philadelphia Gazette, ac
knowledges the receipt of a small lock of Gen.
Washington’s hair, as a present, which he con
siders as almost worth its weight in diamonds.
He adds, “ the texture is remarkably fine, and
it is almost as soft as silk. A part of the same
lock was placed in the hands of a gentleman a
bout to sail for England, with directions to cause
it, on his arrival there, to be set in a breast pin,
at a cost of fifty dollars to the donor, and to be
handed to Lord John Russell, as a present from
an American citizen, who admires his political
course.”

Mr. Editor:
Our party take their triumphs too much as a
matter of course—as the necessary result of a
good cause. I think even a good cause requires
some adjuncts—some spiriting on of its friends;
otherwise, from the operation of a law of our
nature, the zealous are apt to cool and the hike-)
warm to fall off. Our opponents use every
means to attract public attention and fix public |
admiration—public rejoicings when they are I
fortunate enough to succeed—public dinners)
and public speeches on almost all public ocea- i
sions—fetes of one kind or another, calculated I
to rekindle their flagging zeal, and excite win
ning impressions on others. But what has our
party ever done 1 With the single exception
in Savannah, has there ever been any public
celebration by the party—any manifestation of
our feelings after victory—a single occasion,
when the soul of the patriot has burnt within
him, as he looked round on the companions of
his triumph, and felt their hearts beat like his
own, with the ambition of future conquests ? I
appeal to our friends, ii’ the present is not a fit
occasion for a public festival in token of our
victories and in honor of the triumph of sound
principles. Permit me to suggest, with this
view, a Dinner to Gov. Lumpkin on his retiring
from the office, which he has filled with such
distinguished honor to the State and advantage ’
to the great Conservative Party of the Union:
At the same time, let us usher in the new Gov
ernor by a splendid bothfo
be given at Milledgeville, during the first week
ol the session. I leave these suggestions to our
friends—simply remarking that in the last we
might be joined by our political opponents, as
an honor paid to the Chief Executive office of
the State, and due it, without distinction of par
ty. RICHMOND.
We are indebted to the principal Editor of
the Charleston Courier, Mr. Yeadon, for his
Editorial remarks, in pamphlet form, on the
Amenability of the Northern Incendiaries to
Southern and Northern Laws. Indisposition
prevented our attention to them when first pub
lished ; but we find them, as far as we have read,
very able and very clear on the topics of discus
sion. While he insists that the spirit of the
clause in the Federal Constitution covers the
case, he admits that the letters defective. The
framers seem to have overlooked the case of a
person standing in one state and committing a
crime in another, and therefore made no provis
ion for such an occurrence—it is a casus omissus.
He, therefore prefers the demand to be made
under the Law of nations, which he insists is
still in operation between the States of this con
federacy, modified by the circumstances of the
union. He very justly commends a custom,
principally prevalent among the Swiss Cantons,
which may be understood by the following ex
tract :
LETTERS ROGATORY.
An admirable rule, sanctioned by the
: law of nations, prevails among neighbor
ing powers on the European continent,
I and especially among the United Cantons
of Switzerland—a confederacy bearing
) some resemblance to, but without the na
tional features of ours--which might be
well applied among the States of this Un
ion, to make the citizens of one State a
menable to the criminal laws o( another,
against whose peace they may have plot
ted and conspired. The enlightened Vat
tel, m B. 11. Ch. VI. sec. 76, p, 223, after
) laying down the general usage of the na
tions to be, that “assassins, incendiaries
( and robbers, are seized every where,
:at the desire of the sovereign of the
. place where the crime was committed,
, and delivered up to his justice,” thus ex
: plains the rule or custom to which we
have referred—“ They go still farther in
i the States that are more strictly related.
) by friendship and good neighborhood : in
( the case of those who commit common
) crimes, they are prosecuted by the civil
power, and obliged to make reparation, or
) to suffer a slight civil punishment; the
I subjects of two neighbouring States are
reciprocally obliged to appear before the
magistrate of the place where they are ac
cused of having failed in their duty; up
on a requisition of that magistrate, called
) letters Rogatory, they are cited according
to law, and obliged to appear before their
; own magistrates: an admirable instilu-
I lion, from which many neighboring States
\ live together in peace, and seem to form
only one republic! This is in force
throughout all Switzerland. As soon as
the letters Rogatory are prepared in form,
I the superior of the accused ought to let
I them take effect; it is not for him to know,
whether the accusation be true or false;
( he ought to presume on the justice of his
neighbor and not to break by his distrust,
| an institution so proper to preserve good
) harmony between them; however, if by
) constant experience, he finds trial his sub
jects are disturbed, by the neigboring ma
gistrates, who call them before their tri
( burials, he is doubtless permitted to think
of the protection he owes to his people,
and to refuse the rogatories till they have
given him a reason for the abuse, and en
tirely remove it. But he also is to allege
his reasons, and to set them in a fair
light.” The above extract seems, in some
places, to have been imperfectly translat
ed, but its meaning, we think, is, notwith
standing it is a little obscure, sufficiently
I obvious, on slight reflection, to render a
ny formal explanation unnecessary. The
amount of it is, we apprehend, that the
magistrates of the offended State, may cite
criminals before them from another State
by letters Rogatory addressed to the mag
istrates of the latter, who must of course
be bound, unless their respective sover
eigns interpose, to deliver up the accused.
It would be very advisable to put this ve
ry rational and salutary Swiss custom in
immediate force, in our closely allied clus
ter of republics, for the punishment ol the
wicked and fanatic wretches at the North
who would give up the South a prey to
fire and sword, and convert these fair and
fertile plains into one great and terrible
Aceldama, —one desolate and gory field.
We submit it then to the discretion of the
chief executive magistrate of our Slate,
whether at once to issue his Letters Ro
gatory to the Governors ot the Northern
and Eastern States, requesting that our
incendiary foes be delivered up for trial
by our judicial tribunals, or whether to a
doptthe milder form of requesting, in the
first instance, which, under all circum
stances would perhaps be the wiser course,
that they be arraigned at the bar of justice,
in the sevesal Slates, in which they reside
and from which they have, hitherto, dis- ,
charged, with impunity, their clouds of
mischievous missies and poisioned arrows
against the Southern character. Southern
peace, and Southern lives. With this
request there could be no excuse for non
compliance, for the principle of interna-I
tional law, and indeed of municipal law
also, on which it would be founded, is u
niversally recognized, and has been pro
bably acted on by all nations ofthe civili
zed world, except our own. To write,
utter or publish papers or tracts, with a
view to incite insurrection in a friendly j
neighboring power, is an oflence against !
the municipal laws, against the peace and (
dignity ofthe State, in which the liberty )
ofthe press is so wickedly abused, aggra
vated in our national and partly confeder
ated community of States, by its direct
tendency to disturb the tranquility and
harmony, and endanger the existence of
the Union. We have a recollection that
a Judge in Massachusetts, [Thatcher, we
think was his name, and it ought to be
known that it may be duly honored in the
South) once fully recognized the principle
and charged a Grand Jury to present, for
indictment, every case of incendiary inter
ference with the South, that might come
to their knowledge, as an offence against
the commonwealth of Massachusetts. A.
judicious and dignified appeal from our
State Executive to his Go-Executives of
the several States, would,in all probability
not only lead anew to the judicial recogni
tion of the principle, but to its actual en
; forcemerit.

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY.
1 he design, started some time since, of
erecting a new Literary Institution at
Midway, in our vicinity, we are happy to
learn, bids fair to be successfully accom
plished. The Board of Trustees for the
Institution, appointed at the late session
ofthe Presbytery at Washington, Wilkes
county met last week in this place.—
The Board was organized by the election
)of the Rev. Dr. Golding, of Columbus,
President of the Board, and Richard K.
Hines, Esq. of Milledgeville, Secretary
and Treasurer.
Among the subjects which occupied
the attention of the Board, was the name
of the new Institution. It was decided,
that it should be entitled Oglethorpe
University, in honor to the founder of
the State. The selection we think a h<?p
py one. Wetrust the destinies of an In
stitution bearing that honored name, may
be as brilliant and as prosperous, as those
of the State settled by him, who first bore
it to the shores of the new world.—Mil
