Third.—On the abuse of Moral Fiction in the shape of ^ iwaW.—On the theory and use of Moral Fiction. The *eo?nd part -will contain an Introductory Mara- tkoe, in which the circumstances that led the writer to undertake the design, to the prosecution of which he has assiduously devoted die last six years of his life, will be detailed. # This narrative will record, too, incidents that occured •during his successive visits to the principal cities of the United States, so far. as a knowledge of these incidents may seem to him calculated to enable the candid and . intelligent reader to understand distinctly the nature i^and objects of this enterprize—the principles by which be has been governed in its execution—the degree of success that has hitherto crowned his exertions—the use he bas made of his success, so far as the public are con cerned—the stage in the prosecution of his design, at which he has arrived—his plans and intentions with Ward to its further prosecution, so fur as they can be dis tinctly foreseen, ahd are likely to be in any degree te resting to such readers. • This narrative will commence with his departure from MiltOn, Albemarle county, Virginia, in 1809, and close 'with his departure from Charleston, for Philadelphia, in ■ MI 6. This narrative will be followed by the principal part of •-hn oration,entitled “The Rostrum,” in which he has en deavored to illustrate the permanent public utility, and 'to display the intrinsic dignity and attractions of the ' species of oratory which he has cultivated; its appropriate ■ ■ sphere, ip contradistinction to other and pre-established applications of this noble art; its peculiar adaptation to the age and state of society in which we live, and to the spirit of a popular government; the subjects best fitted -for the exercise and exhibition of this species of oratory, -and the many useful and benificent purposes to which it maybe made subservient. A series of shorter passages, from other oratious, pre- "viouslv delivered from the Rostrum, and a few specimens of Hiilosophical Criticism, will occupy the last part of ° the "volume. As this volume is committed to the press, for the pur pose principally, of enabling the intelligent part of the public to decide how far the writer is qualified to per- rorm the duties of a teacher of oratory—to deliver Lec tures on Rhetoric, accompanied by exercises in compo sition, criticism, and elocution, to successive classes of students, in the principal colleges established in the Unit ed States, it is proper that his pretentions to prac tical knowledge anil skill in the exercise of orato- : 'rjr, should be subjected to a Severer test, than the stiper- •' ficial fugitive ana equivocal impressions, on the minds of ■ a miscellaneous audience, by detlamutions from the Ros trum. It is fair and 'unanalyzed an unreflecting sympathy, may have extorted a plaudit, un consciously, perhaps reluctantly, during the delivery of 'tiis orations, should have an opportunity to retract of confirm that plaudit;to review calmly the sentiments and ’the style in wiiich they were expressed, on which they teemed, and were believed, perhaps untruly, to stamp ap probation, and to decide how fir the impulse of the mo- -ment was in unison with the dictates of deliberate reflection The writer feels that this appeal from the impulse of ’ momentary feeling, to the dictates of mature reflection, 'from the auditor to the reader, from the Rostrum to the -press, is not merely fair and proper. It is the course which prudence, honor, and integrity, *the united dictates of personal and social duty, prescribe. - He well knows, that the plaudit, which the candidate ’‘fbr OfStorical honors, may draw even from an intelligent - audience, is equivocal and ephemeral, unless it is ratified '-by the judgment of the intelligent reader, and that in an .age like this no species of literary empiricism, or impos- -ture, can escape detection and ignominious exposure, when anappeal is made from the Rostrum to the press. He makes this appeal therefore, under a distinct present timent. thut the sentence pronounced upon his preten tions will he the award of justice, and he cannot antici- , spate this award without solicitude and apprehension, sept 12 109 'Ofi MOnday, the -7th October, ensuing, an eJectwnjwJll be held at the couit b6u*e, fti the city of Savannah, for a Senator and three RefrXSestativxS, lb represent tlie county of Chatham in the hext State Legislature^ and for six Members to represent the state of Georgia hi the fif teenth Congress of the United Stalest of which the elect ors Will take notice. teEoftGE JONES, t. r. c. c. c.

Pursuant to a resolution of Council, the following re port is published for the information of all concerned. “The committee to whom was referred the considera tion of the best mode of redeeming, investing and appro priating the funds derived from tin emission of corpora tion treasury change bills, report—that for the further security of the holders of the said bills, the treasurer do keep a separate account of the amount issued and that he do keep the sums in the treasury of the city, to enable him to pay bills when presented to him, and that on no occasion do he make use of the sums so received, but for the payment of the said bills, unless otherwise authorised by special resolution of council. Your committee are of opinion, tliAt the amount issued is too small to enable council to make any appropriation of the same by invest ment in funds or otherwise to draw interest, and that the existence of these bills may be too short in their limita tion to authorise council for the present to make any permanent appropriation of their proceeds. Your com mittee further recommend that the treasurer do receive for said bills, the current money of the city, to wit—the notes of Bunks which are not depreciated further than tlie difference of excliange, and that the treasurer furnish tiie committee of Finance with the amount of change bills issued, and tlie amount on hand received for the same, and that he do advertise that persons, holders of tlie change'bills, will receive payment at any time, by calling on the treasurer—but no sum under one dollar will be prfd.
