That in the places where such minerals be,

And like enough ; —for this at home I find,
Those who too earnestly employ the mind
About that trash, have hearts, I dare uphold,
As barren as the place w here men dig gold.

Apalachicola and Macon.— The Albany
Patriot, of the 26th ult. says : “ We have heard
the question agitated this week as to which was
the best market for planters in South-western
Georgia—Macon or Apalachicola. All ’lie ex
penses on cotton sent from this place to either
market were calculated, and then a review of
sales made in each, for some years past. The
conclusion arrived at, was, that early in the fall
season, Macon is the best market; because the
other is then scarcely opened, or is not well
supplied with buyers.—-But that in the winter
and spring seasons Apalachicola is decidedly
and uniformly the best—the average price being
.] cent per lb higher than in Macon, and the ex
penses, even allowing $1 50 for freight, is 1)0
cents per bale less.”
We advise our merchants to examine carefully
the facts of the case, and ascertain if the above
statement be true, in order that they may correct
the evil, or give such inducements to planters in
South-western Georgia as will secure to us the
trade rightfully belonging to this market.
Sound Argument.— The following paragraph
is a severe rebuke to certain penny-wise and
pound foolish philanthropists who desire the U.
S. Congress to follow the example of England
in extinguishing slavery. The London Times
of September 10th, says: “The will of the
people of England and the resources of the
British nation,have been applied with absolute
authority and ungrudging munificence to the ex
tinction of slavery in the British dominions.
The northern States of America have no such
power of altering the institutions and the tenor
of property in the slaveholding States of the
Union : Congress itself has no such power; but
if it Imd, and besides the power, if it had the
will and the means to carry a general measuro
of abolition, tee urc constrained to admit that, the
experiment made by the British Government, and
the state in which the British IPest Indies are note
placed bp it, would be invoked as the most un
answerable argument against such a scheme."
New York Money Market. —The Evening
Post of the 26th ultimo, says :
“ There is continued activity in the money
market, with an abundant supply, both of
money and of commercial paper. The rates
continue easy.”
“At present there-is nothing doing in Ex
change ; though the brokers report the ex
change market as hardly so firm, or a shade
easier, the quotations are as before.”
“The amount of stocks remitted by the
steamer was SBO,OOO.—U. S. 6’s 1867, and 5000
Ohio State 6’s, 1860. The amount sent was
limited by ti e recent advance in prices. An
active bidding was particularly remarked on the
last two exchange days, with a view of preven
ting stocks being sent forward, and keeping up
the present rate of exchange.”
“On the other hand, the gold recently trans
mitted was on account of parties who are or
dinarily bill buyers, and not by the bill sellers.
The operation was with a view to check the
rising rate, by lessening the demand.”
Speculation is busy in the streets, account
ing for the recent shipments of gold specie,
which at the present rate of sterling exchange
cannot be shipped so as to yield a profit. The
price of gold sovereigns is fi;] per cent, but to
this must lie added freight, insurance, commis
sion, &c , which will bring it up to lOJ per
cent,si* that the gold sent will not yield the
shippers a profit; but if it he considered in re
ference to a corresponding diminution in the
demand for bills of exchange, ti e motives is
sufficiently clear. It is to prevent exchange
advancing.

ing preparation :
Dissolve four drachms of extract of quassia,
(to bo procured at the druggists) in a pint of
boiling water, and then mix in a little brown
sugar or molasses. Set it about on old saucers.
Fly-traps ( which are two flat broad pieces of
wood, shaped into handles at the bottom, and
united at the back by a lenthern hinge,) are
used tin some houses. They must be spread
open, smeared with molasses on the inside, and
stood up or hung in a convenient place. When
filled with flies, shut the trap hard, so at to kill
them.
Cold green tea very strong, and sweetened
with brown sugar, will, when set about in sau

ABX.ICMOUB MEDITATIONS—NO. XX.
THE EXISTENCE OF COD.
In considering the very difficult subject that 1
have undertaken, I must needs request of mv
readers the admission of three facts, via : lha (
there is a Book called the Bible, professing to
boa Revelation fiom and about a Supreme Be
ing; that there is a process of causes and effects
in the visible world, called Nature ; and that
there is a philosophy extant denominated Infi
delity. Fron, each of these, separately and dis
tinctly, I propose to prove the assertion that
there is a Being high over all, iuhahiting Eter
nity, tlie Maker of Man and the Creator of the
Universe, self-existent, independent, omnipo
tent, omniscient and omnipresent.
Ist. The Bible pretends to he a history of the
creation of this present world ; an embodiment
of legal statutes for human government; an ex
position of the relations existing between Crea
tor and Creature ; and a revelation of the future,
destiny of mankind. Neither one of these sc. - ,
cral characters could be sustained by the writing
of a mere man : therefore they w - ere inspired
by God. The first verse of the Holy Scriptures
gives notice of a creative power ; but the nar
rative does not commence with a description of
God, and says nothing concerning his attributes
or existence. On the very face of the statement
it is presumed that the reader admits the fact of
God’s existence, because ho is informed of an
action performed by him. Indeed, Ibis omis
sion is tlie best proof we can have of the Divine
authority of the Bible. For if it had been the
narrative of a mere historian, he would have
prefaced the extraordinary announcements fol
lowing by a description of the wonderful Being
whose limitless power was thus exhibited. But
the Book does not, in any part of it, use a single
argument to prove the existence of God, because
it demands that belief in the first sentence of its
contents. If then, the Holy Scriptures place
i he fiict beyond the remotest possibility of doubt,
with what semblance of reason can we regard
the subject with incredulity ? Suppose any great
monarch, known at the present time, should de
termine to establish a nation in some distant and
uninhabited part of the earth, and that in set
tling the preliminary .arrangements therefor he
should reason thus : “I have employed all the
wisdom and learning of iny court for many years
to devise a system by which I may promote the
happiness of my people, without submitting
them to the present evils and disadvantages of
society. It is true, that my kingdom is prosper
ous, and my subjects are conten:ed with their
government, yet they have never had a taste of
civil or political liberty, and consequently, they
are destitute of many social privileges and enjoy
ments. Now I desire to organise anew form of
government, one in which the people shall be
essentially free, and yet dependent upon my
power and goodness for its establishment. 1
cannot change the order of things in mv own
territory, for that would not accomplish the ob
ject in view. But I am advised to take two ol
my subjects, and after having provided bounti
fully for their support, I must place them in a
part of the world hitherto unoccupied. Now, if
they are come to the years of maturity, they will
retain many of the prejudices and customs of my
present dominions, therefore they must lie ex
cluded from all associations and companions from
their infancy. W hen they arrive at ail age of
discretion, I shall remove them, in such a man
ner as not to excite their suspicion, to the place
prepared for them. Now I know that from this
male and female, in the ordinary course of na
ture, w ill spring a multitude of people ; and that
having the gift of mind as well ns myself, they
will desire to know something concerning their
original state, and also I desire to convey to
them certain laws and regulations. These con.
siderations make it necessary that I should pre
determine a mean of communication which will
be capable of giving them instruction without
fostering an uupardonablc curiosity.” Having
thus made tlie analogy, I have but to remark,
tbnt the Bible gives us sufficient information to
prove the point in question, independently op
every other argument.
2d. We have seen a shrub make a free ; but
how was it performed ? Why, by the nourish
ment of the earth : then why does not the earth
make a man grow in like manner ? Because it
only affects plants and herbs. But how can the
earth tell the difference between a man and a
flower.’ Itas it got reasoning powers? Chemis
try cannot tell. I saw the ruin fall a few days
ago ; what caused it? The ctdleetiun of vapors
became too heavy to float any longer. What
makes the vapor? Small particles of water.—
Do they rise from the surface of the ground reg
ularly ? Yes. Then gradually form into thick
clouds? Yes. Then vapors are alwayscollecting
in the skies? Yes. Why then D the sun so
often unclouded? Because they do not always
come immediately to the density of rain. But,
then it always clouds up and rains at certain fix
ed periods, precisely the same quantity ? No.
And why not? Because the earth needs more
water at one time than another, and the rain de
scends accordingly. Who determines this mat
ter, and regulates the quantity of rain in ac
cordance with the wants of the earth » Philos
ophy is silent. I have stood on the brink of the
ocean, and looked at a vessel as the hull disap
peared, then the mast, and philosophy says this
proves that the earth is round. If so, why do
slot the lofty waves plunge out into the air, as
they rush down the declivity ? Why, tho at
traction of gravitation prevents them. Is that a
living thing? No. Where, then, does it keep
this mighty power? In tho centre of the earth.
Then there is a living, reasoning principle in
that place? No. How then can it tell how to
chain tho waters, and yet give freedom to the
wind and the vapors? Philosophy answers not.
But Nature says, there is a God.
3d. Infidelity contradicts the Bible, Nature
and Reason, and by its very efforts to disprove
God's existence, it affords innumerable a-gu
monts in f vor of that which itdenies. Philoso
phy, the Infidel’s on'y witness, seen forsakes
his cause, and remains mute to his most impor
tunate appeals, whilst death will not fail to con
vince him that “tho Lord God Omnipotent
j rcigneth!” ZAO.

At a regular meeting of the Mechanic’s So
ciety of Macon, held on Thursday evening Ist
of November, 1841), it was on motion,
Hcsolced, That the Chair appoint a Commit
tee of five to report resolutions instnntci
touching the objects of ibis Association.
The Chair appointed the following members
on said Committee, viz: A. Y. Beaton, A.
F. Sherwood, C. G. Douglass, James H.
Bishop and D. Reid. The Committee then
retired u short time, and through the Chairman
reported the following resolutions to the Socie
ty. After reading them, they were unanimous
ly adopted by the meeting.
Whereas, the true objects of ibis Association
have been misrepresented by various publica
tions in I lie newspapers, we’ feel it a duty io
ourselves and the public, to correct erroneous
impressions, thereby made upon the people of
tlie State, and to that end, we do declare and
promulgate the following to be cardinal princi
ples of tlie “ Mechanic's Society ofMacon.”
Besolred, That in forming this Society and
endeavoring to preserve its organization, our
great object was and still is, to elevate tlie Me
chanic Standard, and to improve our artizans in
all tlie departments ufthe Mechanic profession*
Bcsolued, That we repudiate and disown as
a base calumny, all intention to interfere with
the just and lawful rights of slave-holders,
some of us being of that class, and all of us
devoted to tlie Constitutional, equitable and
| just rights of the South in that species of pro-
I perty, and we desire only such restrictions to be
j thrown around it by State Legislation us arc
| required for the safety of society, and the pres
! ervation of the institution itself.
Besolred, That we approve the policy of the
.Act of 1815, prohibiting “colored mechanics
and masons being builders,” from contracting
for the erection and repairs of buildings, and
that we are in favor ofextending its prohibitions
to all other classes of colored mechanics.
Besolrrd, That the policy of the said act, il
carried fully into effect,can only have a tenden
cy to compel such negroes as are mechanics,
like those employed in any other vocation, to
work in subjection to mid under the dominion,
direction arid control of white men, to whom
they are rendered subordinate by the laws of
the land, and by tlie very character of the in
stitution itself.
Besolred, That by allowing negroes to make
contracts and dispose of their own time ;
theirowners and managers arc contravening the
spirit and policy of a number of wise and use
ful legislative enactments of this State and are
thereby virtually emancipating mid placing ne
groes upon an equality with white laborers,
and by sucli a course arc practically effecting in
part, vvlint the abolitionists and others unfriend
ly to the institutions ol the South desire.
Besolred, That the introductory lecture of
Samuel T. Chapman, Esq.,enforces in an aide
and lucid manner, the views and sentiments,
( and none others) contained in the above and
foregoing resolutions, mid that we, believing
this to be the case, adopt said exposition as our
own.
Besolred, That a committee of five he ap
pointed by the Chair to memorialize the ap
proaching Legislature to extend the prohibition
of the Act of 1845, ns contemplated hv the
third of the foregoing resolutions, anil that all
persons throughout the State, friendly to this
object be invited to lend us their aid therein.
On motion, it was
Besolred, That the Editors of tlie City he re
spectfully requested to publish said Resolu
tions in their respective papers, and also, that
all Editors in this State friendly to the cause
be respectfully invited to publish the same, —
which was carried.
