Tttr. Tr.x Commandments Versified.—The Deca
logue lias been thus tersely and quaintly rendered into
rhyme; and would in this shape be a good exercise for
the memories of young children:
1. I am the Lord thy God—serve only me.’—
2. Before no idols bow the impious knee:
3. Use not tnv name in ti ifles nor in jest :
4. D ire not profane my sacred day of rest :
5. Ever to parents due obedience pay,
6. I hy fellow creature, man, thou shah not slay :
7. In no adulterous commerce bear a part;
3. From stealing keep with care thy hand and heart:
9. All false report against thv neighbor, hate;
10. And ne’er indulge a wish for his estate.
Pyramid of Cheops.—This monument of
pritle, science, or superstition—who knows
which—was building while Abraham was in
Egypt; Joseph and his brethren mtiTt have
seen the sun set behind it every day they so
journed in Egypt; it must have been the last
object Moses and the departing Israliles lost
sight of as they quitted the land of bondage;
Pythagoras, Herodotus. Alexander, the Ca
liphs—it has heeu the goal of na!ions ! Lost
nations have pilgrimized to its foot, and looked
tip, as their common ancestors did before them,
in awe and humility; and now, two strangers
from the ‘ultima ihule’ of the ancients, Britain,
severed from the whole uoild by a watery
line which they considered it impious to trans
gress, stand here on the summit, and, looking
round, see a desert where onccstood the ‘ cloud
capt towers, the gorgeous palaces.’ The tem
ples aitd tombs of Memphis arose in their
calm beauty, and wisdom dwelt among the
groves of palm and Acacia—solitary now, and
deserted, except by the wandering Arab and
his camel.—Lord Lindsay’s Letters.
Devotion in Women.—Devotion, 1 believe,
exalts a woman’s beauty to its highest perfec
tion. There is no picture so beautiful as the
Medona, and, if I were a woman, 1 would be
religious, if for no other motive than just ftom
vanity. No one doubts that the human counte
nance is modified by the feelings cherished in
the heart, and she who cherishes the mild t;nd
benevolent and Christian affections, cannot be
otherwise than very pretty. If there are any
“gly women in the world, it is because they
have not been brought up religiously.—Ame

A Word to \ oung Men.—How often are
we pained to see young men, after the busi
ness oi the day is finished, lounoffno* about
fashionable places of resort; when the hours
they nightly devote to the pursuit of pleasure,
as it is wrongly styled, might be so usefully
occupied in the. cultivation of their minds. A
young man has each night at least four hours
before retiring to his rest, which he might
occupy in reading and writing. Now say lie

Mr. Meriwether c Hi red tho following, as a substitute for j

following additional resolution:
“ Resolved, ’] hat tho largo defalcations nf public offi

who manage tho affairs of tho Government, have leen
culpably negligent in protecting its interest*."]

And he it further resolved, 1 bat this Legislature do j
recommend to tbe people ol Georgia, the name of Robert !
Y. liny nr. of Soi.’tli-C’nroib.-a, as n suitable Candida r for j
the I’residenry, and George Al. Tump, of Georgia, for the
Vice Presidency—which being severally rind.
Air. Kellv of Houston, moved fur ti e | rrvious question,
which w as that the vote bo taken on Air. Howard’s reso
lutions, which wits sustained. The resolution* passed are
as follows:
Whereas tho question of dispensing with Banks a* the
agents of the Government in tho collection and disburse
ment of the Public Revenue, and the accompanying ques
tion of the Currency most proper to be employed in the
fiscal operations of the Government, are both of agitating
and exciting character, as well ns of great importance in
their consequences, it becomes the right (and under the
circumstances of the excitement) the duty of the General
Assembly, tn express freely their opinions in relation to
both branches ol ibis important subject. The Indepen
dent Treasury, or Sub-Treasury system, commonly so cull
ed, involves two questions, each of great importance, but
wholly indcpeirdei.t. The first lias lor its object, the di
vorce of Bank and State, or tin entire disconnection of the
I>an!:s with its revenue. Tho second seeks to determine
and establish the kind and < barurlor of the eurret ry most
safe and eenveuient foi tiro Government, and least oppres
sive to the people.
In regard to the first, wo, the representatives of the peo
ple of Georgia, influenced by a settled conviction ot the
uilconstitutionnlily of ti United States Bank, and of its in
expediency also, should deem it extremely impolitic to en
tertain anv longer tbe idea of such at: institution ever be-
cvniing the fiscal agent of tbe Government. \\ e are
equally opposed to the introduction of the local Banks ns
agents or depositories of the public funds, ns well to avoid
the influence of that extraordinary patronage, resulting to
the appointing power (rent such connection, whether that )
power be suffered to vest with the Executive or taken into |
the hand* of Congress, as to prevent tbe unavoidable ten- i
dency of such a system front sw elling the revenue to an tin- |
necessary mid dangerous extent, producing fluctuations in
trade and prices, not only by the increase of the revenue,
but from the changes frequently made of those corpora
tions as depositories and agents of the public money.—
I’toperfy rejecting both of these agent#, for various other
good reasons not necessary to be set forth, it necessarily
results that the Government must conduct her fiscal trans
actions through the agency ftf her own officers, appointed
for that especial purpose.
There are but few system# w hich can lay claim to per
fection, and ns impelled ns the Sub-Treasury system may
be, yet, under proper guards, with its details perfected, we
lelieve it the best system which bus yet been devised for
the general good.
In devising at.d discussing the plans best calculated to
secure safety to tire revenue and convenience to the Gov
ernment and its people, it should not bo overlooked that
in this widely extended confederacy a circulation is de-

Mr. Wm. B. Shepherd lias inticduced a pnq.rsiiirn re
commending the incorporation of three National Bunk*, in

graphical objection of Mr. Calhoun. The project, how
mnuded, and very much needed, that will maintain equal ! ever, was said to be unpopular, and wcuhl probably be
value throughout the Union. The bills of a Bank of tbe
United Stales would satisfy fully all expectations of conve
nience from stic.lt currency, but as it is the opinion of this
Legislature, that even had Congress the power to charter
such institution, the inexpediency of tbe measure should
forbid its incorporation, they propose a system which,
while it ha* none of the characteristics of a Lank, would
afford a convenient am) safe medium of remittance, without
any violation of the powers of the government or rights of
the people. 'Ihe government is compelled to raise suffi

by which it was authorized to be done;—2dly, disapprov

policy of the general government in ielation to tbe public
Lands, and particularly of the pre-emption system:—4thly
protesting against the wasteful extravagance nf the pre

public money*—5thly, declaring that the power and pat
ronage of the Federal Executive has increased toan alarm

RETORTED TitKACOERY—ABOLITION MOYTME.VTS
IN CONGRESS.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Tatne!
gives the follow ing item of intelligence:
“ Rumors have been current for some dnvs past, that t
treaty of a very peculiar r lunar ter hat] 1 ecu latifirtl ie
tween the two grand wings of the Administration snrv
It has been reported that these high contracting part**
met in solemn raiico* on Saturday, and “swore rtrnai
friendship,’ i-tiensive and defensive, on the conditio*
principally, that the Northern supporters ,4 Air Y'atiBuitt
would go in solid column with their Southern frwcu*
on the subj-ct of Abolition and Slavery—and that, unli*
other hand, the Southern Administration inert slinuiiipst*
pone their demand# for the “ Specie clause,” of theSit-
I rensmy bill, ai d support that measure without tiie hard
money ti atnre. A series of resolutions in referrrnc* 11
abolition, Slavery, and petitions, memorial#. Ar. ilr. tor
nericd w ith these subjects, was nrcotdit glv proposed ii
approved of; ami it was agreed that *i>mc Northern nts«
should offer them on the first opportunity.
“ Such are the report* in circulation, and it will bead-
mitterl that the proceeding of this dav give them at Isssl »
great appearance of probability-.
We give the foregoing rumor* for w hat they ten rnrit.

lar import, inferring to the same caucus anti it* prorwd-
ings. A lew days w ill give us further dcvclopemrnl*, ssi
better enable its to form a just conclusion.
We are loth to believe that Mr. Calhoun am! bis frierJ*
have consented to support the Suh-Trrasnrv withoutt»*
“specie clause”—the “ ridiculous farce," a* Mr. C- pro
claimed it in the Senate; and wc are still more rrhstint
to credit the rumor, that rite Sotiih-Carolina SsnaW h 3 *
joined in a conspiracy against tlic domestic insiitutw' 1 '
the South. The movement, however, of Air. Atbertro.
wc pm a suspicious aspect; and wc have seen enough d ur -
ing the Inst twelve month*, to assure us that all tliit j’* 1 ’
practicable. Alortrflcd pride, unrhasteurd atubili""' I®
lied in i:s aspiration*, may make men commit deed* **
whieh they themselves wiil shudder.
Tin-South should at any rate be upon it* guttri!. rj* -

trustful of those w ho are loudest in their profrs»b) u *
devotion to its welfare.
