We havopiofcssed many und various crouds of philosophy, for wo fiavo been deemed philosophic in our time, but wo particularly adndru tho eclectic —a sort of vugrnnt sect building on tho foundations of others—a cuckoo laying its eggs in other hhds 1 nests—a mislotoe drawing its support from tho very tree among whose branches it flaunts Us green shoots. We said wo Imil tried many sects, and hud sotlled down fan clectic—that is following no particular •ek.wil, but .doming ami combining everything iltnt is goo.! in oil of thorn. Wo tried the stoic first, for 11 contempt of pain and apathy under uli misfortune*, wounded wondrous well, but that would not do for us; wo did not like thu promises; we tried tho epi curean with its pleasures, and that did fur us, and wo did not particularly admire the conclusion, so wo gavu them Luth up for the onu wo notv hold.— Not being exclusive and deeming it a sacru.1 duty tu give to nil onu’s friends, from his Sat. Majesty up. wards, their due, we nro willing to divide the honor of this noble creed with ull of them, for it is very generally held by many, even who linvo supposed themselves guiltless of any such thing. To nn idle man there is no pleusuto to ha compared with that of pacing the street* of some busy city, and tending in tlio faces of the fpisscrs-by the history of their lives, of speculating upon their characters, bettor known to ono who will read them by tlio trncos they Ioavo upon tlio toll-talc, truth-telling features thun to tliuttisclves, of resolving them into difieront classes, and assigning to each his croud of philoso phy. It is doubtful which sect numbers the most adherent®. Of peripatetics, or vagabonds, thoro are enough in ull conscience, but wo arc inclined to thu boliof that even these uro outnumbered by tint followers of thu sceptic, tho beginning and ilia und of whoso creed wus doubt, and w ho recommended the having no settled opinions on any subject, sinco thus wo should bu above ull thu changes of life I— Could a master of this fushionublu creed again uriso lie might number nil of us among his disciples. The study of human imturo meets with a rich reward, and those who liuvo pursued it diligently, whether authors, poets or paintors, givo us pictures of in on which scent to livu and breatho before us. It is only thus,by extending this eclectic doctrine by muking tho must und best of whatever is ubout us, that wo con walk through this world without su** faring from loneliness, when away from our follows, or from coming in contact with tho elbows of those who urn crowding along with us. "Bo then tliino own home, aui in thyself dwell, Inn any where. And seeing the Snail which ovfiry wliero doth roaim Carrying his own homo still, is still ut haute, Follow (for lie is dnsy paced) this Snail; Be thy own palace, or the world’s thy jail.’’ Truly the quaint old pout was in tho right, and ho who follows his advice, will prove its truth and soundness. There nru tlioso who, soured l»y tho sulutnry pains and ills of life, retire from society altogether, not liuving spirit urtoagh to be evert atuics They nro wise in thoir generation, but they aro not chiidrun of light. Change o r place is of uo usu, for “the com mon varieties uf human chuructcr w ill Lu found dis tributed in much the same proportion evetyvvhoru, and in most places thero will bon sprinkling of thu uncommon ones.” Tho collision, sympathy, and oxtcrnal excitement of society ure necessary fur us and every man ofsonso, from the dnys of Diogenes, tho lamplighter, to these days of darkness, when such nnnfiicais u sinecure, has looked for men, has lived in the wot Id soliciting what was guud bulb of men und things. That mysterious, unduscribcj, and indoscribnlilo thing, styled society, is founded un this principle uf select ion from discordant materials. To bo sure, woful mistakes aro sometimes made, and somo of us are put in, und some loft out, to llm cost of oth ers ond oursnlyoi; and, as an old author says, “it ia sometimes hard that ono who rarely stirroth ubroud when ho is tempted by love of converse, to mix those about him, should fiad converse nano in any and so bo led to conclude, thnt lack of company ie better far thnnluck ofbruins.” Craving his pardon ho was wrong—for ho might find, und we might find, that by keeping nt home, wo iuoked not one thing only, bet two—both company and brains. Ha that willgo out into the world, without any creed in philosophy, save this eclectic imp, being of no man’s school and seeking (0 make no man of his, will find himsolf in n holiday scone, tnsy enjoy all that is plvasapt, and laugh ut all that is said, and be amused nt the lung Tacos of others, (without ill-nature, ur mulicc, guntlureader,) which Tickling dried sinews of a n/wing cot.” Du anything, do overylhing/but givo not up in despair.

With this example before us, und tho authority of our latin quotation, w« have ventured to introduce our subject through tho medium of a brief iambick, and if tlio grave severity of somo of thooe who ro- sort to your columns for their daily edification in. dines them to censure us for thu license wo liavo taken, our apology is to bo found in tho poetical procednnts to which wa have alluded. In 1796 a majority of tho Legislature of Georgiai fulso to thoir constituents, nnd the groat principle of morality und religion, seduced by tho devil, und instigated by tlio basest motives, sold their votes to tho corrupt and corrupting “Land Companies,” who, at that time, thronged the lobbies ofour Geno_ rat Assembly will, ilia ilothm of robbing ilia Slat u of her valuable domain. The result of 1I10 bribery which these unprincipled speculators eliucted upon our legislators, was tlio passago of tlio celebrated nnd ever memornblo “Yazoo Act,” hy which thu lugislnturo fraudulently sold and convoyed to the uforesnhl companies an immense territory, compro. hendod within tho limits of the present Status of Aluhutna und Mississippi, fur the mcru song of 00,000. Tho whole people of Georgia struck dumb with umnzcmenlnttliu purfidy of thoir agents, were staggered and bewildered nt tlio extent and boldness uf their venality, and many wuro seized with a supernatural (uur that corruption in its basest form was ubout tu pervade the universal lund. Your oldest citizens, I have no doubt, well remember tho panic and consternation with which ull ninn looked nt that extraordinary transactiun—tho legislutur 0 corrupt, bought up with tho gold of speculators— ami tlioStnto betrayed,nnd defrauded of her prince ly domain I To this surprise succeeded un outbreak of popular fooling und indignation which was nove r before, altd, I am sure, hus never sinco been witnos* ed in Georgia. The people roso up in a solid mats, 1 begun ilio work of subjecting their false ogt*m 9 to a terrible retribution. Thnt work they accom plishud by consigning the memory of every man who wus ongnged in the fraudulent transaction to eternal infamy, und as if to obliterate forever tho record of the fraud, recalled their favorite servant General James Jackson from the public councils ut I’hiladul phia to assist them in erasing ns fur as practicable the foul stuin from tlio reputation of tho State. A new legislature was elected, und Gen. Jttbk-on, thon Governor of Georgia, in the presence of the Gene ral Assembly, and of a vatt concourse of people, at Louisville, committed tho “Yuzoo Act” itself to fire which was kindled by the rays of the sun—thus co n suming, with a flame from Huuvcn, thu last vestigo, as he hoped, of thu fraud which hud tarnished tho escutcheon of his Slate. Your old men romctnhvr tlicsu things, I will vom ture to say, although they happened yesterday, bu t in order that tlio young men who have risen up since thmn exciting times muy form somo idt-a of tho “Yiizoo Fiuud,” I will copy for thoir benefit, and all others whom it may concern, tlio substance of a speech deliver d in die House of Representatives of tin- United Status by George McIntosh Troup, thou, as now, thu favorite sun of Georgia. This speech, which was highly appluuilud at that timei whs delivered when a bill to compromise thesu fraud ulonl cluims was on its pasugo in tho House of Re' prosontutives, and will explain far better than I can the civcumitnnces of that stupendous fraud. “Mr. Troup, of Georgia, suid that thu bill proposed lu givo five millions of acios of land, by way of com promise, to certuin persons usually called'Yuzoo Claimants.' “Mow would posterity bo ab!o to account fur the appearance of this translation, should it receive tho sanction of Congress? Tlio Legislature of Georgia originally sold tho iund in question fur $500,000; tlio Uniicd Slates shortly after purchased it lor $1;. 230,000. and it is now proposed to give 5,000,000 acres of Land, equal to more than $5,000,000 to tlm Yuzoo claimants to compromise their claim. Posterity must say that ice ourselves have been corrupted to consent to such a barter of principle; that thesa Ynzo • claimants, like tlio Gods of Milton, carried mountuins in their bonds, and, menacing you with claims to the amount of 50,000,000 of acres, under L iho‘decision nf tho Supremo Court, catriud uvery thing befo:o them. As luck would have it, said Mr. Troup, this was ana of tho plain est cases in tho world. Either the Yn4od cluims nnts have, or they have not a claim. If thoy have no claim, you have no right to compensuto them for a claim they havo nol. If they have d claim for 50,000,000, you will toko advantage of your superior powers to do injusllco to these impo tent individuals. If they have a claim at all they have a claim to the wholo, and it becomes \outo give it them, ami say no moio about it. Mr. Troup adverted to tbo notoriously fraud ulent character of the yuzoo act, nud tho bribos which wore proved to hare Icon given to and ac- knew, that thu prasenv claimants hud purchawd: without knowledge of the fraud, und were tlier/iford not liithle to its consequences. Tlio question turn- etl.’howevur.on tho validity of tlio yuzoo net «f 1795* Ifthn presont rluinmnt* hud uny claim, it was a claim derived from thu original grantees; if those grantees had u just claim, or uny claim, it was do- j*ived (indor tlio corrupt act cf 1795. If tlio second purchaser* had nncluim, it was beenuso thu gran tees had none. Was it not pluin then, ho asked, that tlio question turned on tho validity or invalidi ty of the uct of 1795? If Congress should do tor- mine that a title did vest in tho grantees under tliiit act, they would dotarminu .that it was competent to the corrupt representatives of a virtuous people, un der tlio influence of tlio most dotcBtabiu bribery nnd corruption, to bm ter away thoir rights. Wits this House prepared tu sanction such u principle? Mo called 011 the majnriiy oftlic House tu recollect how they came into power, Tho people hnd In come Manned, last tlto put it y of republican principles should bo contaminated, and the present majority entnu into power under tho well grounded expects, tiuu that they Would preserve the principles of the government, pare nnd uiiCorrupted. Would it bo suid, that they had done so, if they established principle like this? This government was founded exclusively on tlto busts of virtue and morality. If such an uct as this were to pass, these foundations would bo broken up,overturned, uprootod, and de stroyed, nnd with them the best hopes of man for ever blaster!. IfAmh a principle should hcestub- lishcd, as ho hud described, theie could no lunger lie in tlio community cither virtue or morality. Mr. Troup hero entered into nu aignmcntaiivo and legal view of thu subject. He tindurtook to provo 'thnttho Lugislntuio of Georgia hud no power to dispose of the puldict territory; that evon if they had the power, they had not the power to dispose of it fraudulently nnd corruptly. That if by a fraudulent ftml eomtpt sale thoy could transfer no right to the land, thn cluimunt*, having notice of the fraud, were particeps criminis; they had pur chased of the grantees with their eyes open; they Were not innocent, hut guilty purchasers, nnd worn not entitled to thu interference of Congress in thuir behalf. The first position ho supported by various arguments drawn front the nature of tlio case, by tlto authority of litirlamaqui, Orotius, Pujfeu■ dorff, and oilier publicists, ull landing tu this point, thnt the power uf disposing of the public do main rosted with tho people, unless expressly dele gated. This doctrine was recognized by tlio Con stitutionofthe U. Stutes.in which tho power of the disposal of sucli property was given to Congress, nnd in tlio constitution of suvoral of the States the power of tlio people on this head was expressly recognized in so many words. Jt might be said, he added, thut in»tanccs might he cited in which the Stato Legislatures hud assumed this powor wilhout express grant from the people; but in all such instance* tlio Legislatures souctiug, lias been guilty of u flagrant and flagitious breach of trust, upon tho wholo, ho concluded Ids argument on this point, by observing that tlm Legislature ol Georgia which protended to *ell tho lund. had plainly, obvi ously and demonstratively no constitutional powur to do so. But suppose they hnd such a power, could they sell tho lund of thoStulc fraudulently nnd corruptly? No, certainly. It was on universal ruin that fraud ntvi corruption vitiate every act, invali date eveiy grant. But suppose any instrument of trust contained n declaration thut tho powers there in given should be fuirly executed, or that the con. stitution of uny community wore to contain a clause thut thu Lugislaturo of tho Stato should not fraudu lently or corruptly sell tho property of tho State, would not sucii provisions be ridiculouk? Certain ly, and they would bu *0 because they would bo directly contrary to the trust itself—thu great God ,,f Hnnwrn ooutU nut OOMVJf tlm right to ll(l n cor. rupt or fraudulent net, bccroso it would bo incomes tent with hi* divine atiribulos, und therefore a pow er impossible to bo conferred. And yet this l.cgiv’. lature (Congress) were called upon to do what it is not in 1)10 power of tlio Almighty—to sanctify corrup tion. Tlio ties between the representative and lit constituent aio sundered when he i» corrupted. A representative body was therefore obviously inc'apa bio of binding Its constituontv by tho passago cf a notoriously corrupt act. Mr. Troup then proceed od to shew that the second purchasers having had notice of tlio fraud of tho original gruht, purchased cum onerc and woro nut entitled to tho equitable interference of tho National Legishitme. Ho said that the fuel thnt tiieso grantees had given only $500,000 for 50,000,000 of ucros of land, was of Itself sufficient to havo deter red houu*t purchaser*. Tho rapid feuccessioii of events, ho suid, which fol lowed thu passage of thnt act in tho State of Geor giu, portor.dud n revolution—tho people in u ferment —Gen. Juckson, on whose character ho pronouncid a very animated ouh gium,called from tho Semite at 1’liiludclphia by tho commotion of tho time*—u man, who threatened w> disci iso tho corruption, wus murdered in hi* house, and lln-so events pro. sensed to tho public through all tho papers, even a Boston in the midst of these purchasers', the public message of Gen. Washington to Congress announcing tho transaction, who»o warning voice wus, on that occasion,' no more heeded by these ciuimantfe, than Iris purling uddre<* has since boon i tho form of tho deed, conveying tlieso lands from tho grantees to tlio presont claimants, in which tliero Was not only an absence of u general warranty o' titlo, but an express clause, securing the granteos from all future responsibility, on account thereof. Me. T. super-added tlio information lie had obtain- od from an honorable member of this House, from Massachusetts, who assured him thut tlio present claimants had full notice of the fraud, and tiiul they wore acquainted with all the circumstances of the original transaction, a* well, and n* soon as tbo or iginal grantee*.” From tho foregoing abstract of Gov. Troup'* col ebrated speech, your readers may form soma opin ion of thn magnitude of tlio fraud, which taimeJ and spotted these claims, and instead of keeping hem longer in suspense, I will shew them at once tho ‘-yeas und nays,” hy which they will see, to their astonishment, that Daniel Webster, Gonernl Harrison’s premier, ami chief confidant, nctunlly recorJod his vole ih ftivor of thoro rotten ond fraud ulent cluims.
