~ * r ’ • For {he Citizen. Prof. Morris’ Grammar. Mr. Editor: la your issue of the 24th insl, I notice a communication beating the signature of “ B.ack Hawk,” and designed as a reply to Prof. D. B. Dudley. Ia the.absence of Prof D., I beg leave to offer a. fpw strictures Vpon the article in question. ;, /.f ; f The only real acumc which the criticisms of Mr. “Black Hawk” turf/ appears in the selection of his name* tp* litfrhry tac tics afford a good illustration of \jiaAavi&y, wiles of his distinguished names Well knowing that he could not succeed upon honorable terms, he resorts to the stratagems of the vilest scurrility and wilful misrepre sentation. Docs honesty ever wear this con temptible guise ? That this is a just descrip tion of his style, I will show iu a brief re view cf his petulent tirade against Morris’ Grammar. It seems that in Bis first cedi - municatton, Mr. “Black Ilaivk” and glares that “Prof. Morti-: had classes’nar Liberty Hill.” This statement Prof Dud ! ey denies: vhereupou Mr. “ Black Hawk ” re- affirms the fact, with redoubled emphasis, Prof. M. t’ld have what he called schools or classes, near the place that I call “Liberty HilL’ .Soar-the. place that he r?£* Liberty ILll ! This declaration may be justly construed as a confession that he bad invented a hew name to represent the disputed locality. I ask, Would a proper regard for veracity tol erate this confusion of facts with fiction ? Dies not thjs medley of real and,fictitious matter convey as erroneous an inqtrt ssion as an actual perversion of the truth ?• But this il.ustrates his artful temper. He arravs what he “calls” facts, and virtually with holds the name of the place, hoping thus to preclude the possibility of investigation ! ■ Again he says: “ I have made no hasty assertion-, for 1 have again and again hurled every charge which I have made against his Grammar, in the very teeth ot the Prof, and dared him to answer. D.d he doit? Ao, lar from it He was mute and dumb as au oyster. ’ This ioeue, he avows, transpir ed before “ crowded houses.” Aud it is rea sonable to presume that such persistent, in dustrious opposition would characterize his crusade, in private as well as in public, be lore as well as after the discussions. Would a man, so assiduous in his public denuncia tions, remain “as mute and dumb as an .oyster/ in private? Above, as I have ahown, he declares with appropriate stress, that “Prof. M. did have schools or classes near Liberty Hill.” This is an unwary ad mission that Morris’ Grammarcnjdyed con siderable popularity in that quarter. Either his ardor or his vanity Defrayed him into a serious dilemma. It Mr. “ Black Hawk ” made such a triuniphau; exp.osua cf the work, will he explain Low it was, that h:s neighbors and friends gave it such a l.bcral support. Jf Prof. Morris could not sustain the peculiarities of his system, why did the people ot that viciuity endorse it with such cordiality? Such a state of things Is an ut ter iffipossibility. It is wholly opposed to every principle of Human nature. May we not tnerefore conclude, according to Mr. ‘•Black Hawk’s ’’ own ry yhat he Liuisalf must bear me charge of au ignominious de feat. Tire last quotation seems to imply that PrM. M. did appear before “ crowded h jus t sand the presumption is that his object was to combat Mr. “Black Hawk.” Now, 1 have it upon indisputable authority, mat Prof. kf> never had occasion to meet but one man, in a public discu.-sion, in the State ol Georgia. And this gentleman, at first, pro fvssed the most profound admiration of the -ysltic. and bowed at the feet of the author for the privilege cf discip’esliip ! Bit when the Prof, refused to commit the work anu its reputation to his hands, how shocked ms pr Me, and uissipated Lis lormcr opinions ! This refusal, intimating as it did, a douot ol hi3 competency, exasperated the couv.cted pedagogue; and he forthwith Tinted Lis fu ry’ iu an attack upon tai; text bock which he himself had extolled to the skies! It the work is an imposition he mui desired to pro pagate an imposition; it .t is meritorious, Lis opposition was prompted by the basest dis honesty. Is it therefore strange that a man oi this c’naracter, should fail, as he did on two to attain anyoti.er notor.cty that: public contempt ? Did treachery ever even tuate in success ? When Mr.’ “ Black Hawk ’ lays aside the d'Sguh'6 Ot his assumed name, together with his other fictions, I h< pe we shall Lot bo able to recognize in dim, H igh .V. itausome, tthe Worthy gentleman to whom we pave re. erred abqve,) lbr this uneo'uth rustic could neither: i oak nor write correct English, anil yielded the tuqrtiiytxg of his own failure! I quote : *• Furthcrm;re, I sjv the whole concern is a grand Imposition. The book is replete ‘w ith errors and contradic tions.” fie now proposes to marsh nil the tbsunliUes which justify this keeping in vective. Is it no error to teach that the ncuns damsel, maid aau nidJtn have no eorresponding masculinet ’ Jn tie written form of the work, the wc “mad ‘ does not oicur, and is a blunder for which the Printer alone is responsible. As for “ daih. foI” and “maiden,” the itself au thorises the View which Profl M. entertain. cf these wo*ds. If “ B'a-V Ilawk ” dis putes this jx/sr.ion, w ill he eio us the kind ness to publish the precise forms of those words in the utasculiuc gender'/ Again, on pagr JJ, edition,) the Prof, says, ‘‘Some nouns as the pkft&l lorm to dignity different things, ra;L**r than an increase of numbers, as boys, and acute nouns are used only ia ti.e pfftral, as letti “ Hoys’ - and *‘bees ” arc loth fyp graphiU? errors, as tho manuscript vntfs’jow.

He Las studied the cUhracter of his fellow citizens to but little advantage, if he flatters himself that he has now overwhelmed a Southern man, or can retire from the contest bearing the plaudits of the. £opthesi people. I shall now discuss the same jhfiyeefs Sender and number, as explained m the GratVimucs Mr. Hawk” Would defend. are these typographical errors, fori been submitted to frequent re visioqf, and besides form’ a-part of Mr. s daily itapti unions.

In regard to number the old systems, (of which Air. “ Black Hawk ” is the beautiful exponent.) teaches that nouifs ending*’ In [ft /ft are pluraiized by changing that termina tion into tNow, researches into the tacts of the language, show that there are cn!y fifteen examples ot tliis kind, while over twice that number can be.enumerated which are plurtlized in the regular way, by the addition of s. Should a scientific rule be liable to more exceptions than the cases to which it actually applies ? This istno trivial error. It is not only an outrage on science, and calculated td mislead the learner, but as it embraces only such examples as are -pp c.fie.exceptions to, the general rule, it is en t're’.y unnecessary, and entails just 80 much extra labor and perplexity. Prof. M. has relieved our Gram mar of this enormity; and the result is not only greater economy, but greater simplicity. Since the item has be m wantonly at tacked and tradi ced, I beg leave, Mr. Editor, a a short aeries of coact.se articles, to set fort’ll the prominent features of the work, — peculiarities which Mr. “Bbiok Ilawk,” with comiiiehdable p.-udence hfts kept entirely in the back ground. I shall air.? develop with as little severity as possible, t.he faulty priuci- P'es which the- prevailing eys terns inculcate, and which Prof. M, has ebb er discarded or reformed.

He believed forty millions an abun dance for the national expenso. lie was therefore opposed to an increase of duties, and said the expenditures should be brought within the present receipts.” This is a suggestive statement. Volumes would not avail for a more impressive repre sentation'of the enoVmity of the public ex penditures, and’of the urgent need of re trenchment and reform, tfiaq is compressed in this bri-f but pregmint paragraph. With the skill of the rhetorician Mr. Stephens ext hibits his case in.the vivid light of contrast, and developes it with a eoncentratioq of ef fect which compels instantaneous and un questioning conviction. In the crisis of for eign v.ar, when tba re.-our es of the nation w,ere,enjployqd in the conquest of a wealthy and populous empire,—with sixty ‘thousand men in the field, at a distance of two thou sand niites from the.ikderM capita!,—she ex penditures scarcely exceeded fiiry million s dollars. Now, at a mdmeh't Os profound peace, with a Democratic administration in power, and a Democratic majority in Con gress, the estimates amount to seventy-three million ! The statement demands no cobi mentaiy. i But, in truth the public mind w.>s already oppressed with an adequate conception of the extravagance of government That the federal expenditure is swollen to a tide of alarming and increasing volurqe, and that every expedient of economy is requisite to its retrenchment, bes ore it inundates the country and defies arrest, are familiar truths among the intelligent masses. Nor is there any insensibility to the evils j of a prodigal administration in a republican | government. History abounds witti exaju p'es of its fatal influence oh the virtue of the people, and spirit of liberty,—and ineul <tes the. lesson that a Spartan frugality is an indispensable condition for the pure ahd pHnianent operation of free institutions. — When government begins to exact .burden-, some contributions of the masses, and to disburse the public treagtire iri ltrfgesseS to its favorites, besides the example of profli gacy wh : ch it exhibits, it directly prepares the ways and means of successful usurpation and uncontrolled power. .” . - ilacon, and the men of bis sehopl, deduc ed this mjix'm from a familiar knowledge of the past, and profound study df human na ture. They illustrated ita wisdom in their •scheme of administration and the republic would be the better if the mouern politician, who aflects to venerate their memory, would practice their philosophy and imitate their . example. Mr. Buchanan i* a tradition from that heroic age : but there is danger the impressions of the present prove too strong for the memories of the past. We have hope, nevertheless, that the fine sentiments so admirably expressed’in the letter which we revived a few days sincSe, wilbvet be ex emplified iu hi* Administration;, and that when lie retires from offic'*, among his claims to remembrance we may distinguish the practical results of his platonic regard for retrenchment and economy, There are two way? of adjusting a balance between the income and expenditures of government. Either the revenue may be increased to a level with the outlay, or the outlay may he reduced to a level with the revenue. • We can readily understand how a Feder alist, with his propensity to extravagance, and his partiality f. r c’ass legislation, should prefer a policy which at once {“rarities his aristocratic instincts aud realizes his hope of central zition. But how any pi an who pro fesses a repugnance to any imposftion of burdens on the people, a regard for State right?, and a desire fin - an economical admin istration, can select the forrm*r of the expe dients proposed above, is a mystery which we do-not pretend to comprehend. Everybody—Whig, Democrat, Free Tra der and Protectionist, admit that the expen ditures of the government are exorbitant beyond endurance. The party in power lament the extravagance of their own Ad ministration with a candor most creditable to their character. The parly in opposition parade ti e enorrr ity of the estimate?, as a damning accusation against the Democratic Executive. All 7 an equal anx oty for a reduction of Federal expenditure. With a view to the common object, the Protectionists recommend an increase of tax ation, nptjl tho revonuu shall i.n commensu rate with the present demands of the gov ernment, and after ward a pnr-i passu reduc tion of rre -ipts and expenses.

They, with one or twj oilier fair correspondents nearer home, will always be welcome to our columns. Death of Mr. Barefield. —We regret to have to unnounee the death, after a short illness, of Pneumonia, of our late worthy Street’Commissioner, Mr. Benjamin R. Barefield, in the 27th year of his age.— His remains were interred in Rose Hill Cemetery on yesterday, by Protection Fire Company No. 1, of which he was u member. Mrs. Ostrander’s Lecture*.— Since our last publication, Mrs. Ostrander has delivered three Lectures, each of great interest and full of instruction to enquiring and candid minds. On Friday evening last the subject selected for the lady, was the Diversity of Gifts spoken of by th 9 Apostle, in 1 Cor. xii, 1—11; and we need not say, that tho address was an admirable exposi tion of the text, and of the great law of Spirit lulluence which gives to each soul that meas ure and mode of inspiration which is best adapted to its nature and progressive devel opment. > t ..) On Sunday afternoon, the Hall of the As sociation was found entirely too small to ac commodate the audience that desired to hea,r. Many had to r etire lor want of seats, and numbers stood for more than an hour, listening to the profound and earnest dis course delivered. This was the largest meeting yet had, to hear the truths of the Spiritual Philosophy elucidated, and we think that very few went away dissatisfied. The subject on this occasion was from Luke xxiv, 32—“ Did not our hearts burn vrithin us, while he talked to us by the way, and expounded to us th^scriptureaand no less a personage than John Wesley was the chief controlling influence and speaker! After giving a history of the circumstances which called forth the language of the taxt, the speaker proceeded io clear away the rubbish in the way of receiving spiritual truth, and with great force and clearness, sho wed that the minds of the people in this ags, and of all ages, hud been too much trammelled by the dicta of their spiritual guides, who lord ed over the consciences and hearts of their follower.-;, with such intolerance and despot ism, that few had the power to act and judge for themselves. This was the great evil of the age and should be got rid of. Every one should do his own thinking in religious mat ters. E tch soul mnst work out its own sal vation—no soul could be saved by proxy or the prayers of the priesthood. He, (the speaker,) had often, in the earth-life, labored till the sweat rolled from liis brow, to show the people the way of holiness, and from his present stand point, although sincere in all he preached, he was satisfied that he had taught errors, and was now equally sincere as then, in acknowledging and correcting the false notions which he entertained and preached, among which was that concerning the purposes of God, the Father, to bless and save the world. His views of this blessing, and th : s salvation were then limit ed and partial, but now the reverse. The speaker than discoursed upon the beautits and glories of the spirit life, until many were led to say to themselves, “did not our hearts burn within us, as he talked to us by the way.” The Cbrist-priuciple was shown to be one of love, power and and beauty—the great aud universal princi ple which was destined to illumine and ble?.s all the human race. In fine—whether this discourse was an emanation from the spirit of John Wesley, or not, it was altogether worthy of that great and good man, and re minded us forcibly of the boldness and zeal of this founder ol Methodism, w hen he came out of the Established Church of England, and battled, so manfully and successfully, against its traditions and corruptions. The reader of this article can, by examining the printed volume of sermons bearing Wesley’s name, find a discourse wherein is much of the same language and idea as that uttered on Sunday. Oa Tuesday evening. Mrs. Ostrander lec tured on the subject of True, and False Wor aMp, and handled it in a very profound and lucid manner. On account of the inclem ency of the weather, but few were in atten dance, though that never appears to make any difference with tb> Medium. One of her cardinal virtues is punctuality, and when an appointment i3 made, and it is possible to fill it, she never fails to be present. Mrs. O. will lecture again to-night, and on Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. l>ally State Press.— 'This new can didate for public favor appears this week, and we trust will have a prosperous career. See Prospectus in another column. We notice that some of our cotemporaries seem to ig nore the fact, entirely, that a daily was ever before started in Macon! We have some faint ri'Qolk‘®ti°n of having published a Tri weekly, for some months; also a Daily for six months, at a clear gaio, u •#*'the left,” of about $1000; but no matter.

In both cases notes were given foj property, with a guarantee from the receiver of good use in the one case, and soundness in the other.'— In both oases we had offsets of considerable relative amount, which no honest creditor would, for a moment, have hesitated to al low. But, with a view to evade such jiabil ity, both the persons alluded t© traded off, or pretended to trade off, notys-field by them to third parties before due, and thus shilf&ed out of their individual responsibility in tlW* mutter, except at the end of a separate law* suit by the original debtor against,the ori*. gal This, in both the men—;, tionedt will not pay to follow up to&laytis factoipr; settlement, by reason of the dtsfribce of paries and the CQ|ts of prosecution, to say nothingmf the of law and the perils of ■bankruptcy,’ whtohwrc involved-in. such suits. Moral. —Never give negotiable paper for property, bought or hired, without being sure that such property is sound and other wise fully up to the mark represented ! An obligation of a different character, specify ing the conditions and contingencies of a contract, will be sufficient for honest men, while thosfe disposed -frrtake- advantage of their own wrong and fraud, will thereby be check-mated on tho principles of right and justice.

We would like to see him, then, tilted against Joe Brown, Esq., for the next Gove.mor.— Would’nt that be an interesting race to out’ siders ? It would be “ Greek meeting Greek,” sure. By the way, we notice that the “ Telegraph ” lauds “ little Aleck ” as the demolisher of Americanism in Georgia. —>. That paper has the following item in its no-- tice of Mr. Stephens’ antecedents: “ In 1855 the Know Nothings made their advent. Mr. Stephens, early in the year 1855, took grounds against the movement, and in April, 1855, wrote his celebrated let ter, which suddenly and effec ually put a slop to the progress of that most valuable American Institution.” After that, let no man ask “ who struck Billy Patterson ? ” or “ who killed cock Rob in ? ” The above would be true, had the writer not ignored the fact that “Sam” yet lives , though often killed, stopped, and strangled I Books through Mr. B oardmnn.

Republican, and other presses opposed to th[4 removal fcf restrictions upon the African slave trade, are just now in a quandary what to do with the two'Africans now in Savannah jail, supposed to be a part of the cargo of the “ Wanderer.” These papers suggest that it will not do to send these Africans back, to their own country, but that Gov. Brown should take possession of them and sell them for ike use of tne State, to the highest bidder, at Milledgeville, under a law to that effect. Now, by what code of morals caniit be just and right for the State of Georgia to sell these Africans into perpetual slavery and pocket the “ wages of iniquity,” which will not apply, with equal justness and propriety, to every citizen of the State ?.. Jniruth, the citizen who has gone to the expense and trouble of bringing these negroes from Afri ca, has a better claim than the State, be cause the latter has given no consideration for the property thus to be sequestered to its own benefit 1 This is the law, but in sanc tioning suoh a law, and advising its being carried out, is not the great principle yield ed, that it is right to sell Africans into sla very f And is it not more honest for indi viduals to engage directly in the traffic with the’r own means, than for a great and coble State to steal the property of the-citizen. un der cover of law, sell the same and pocket the proceeds? , .., ~ . So, sac as the, Africans are concerned, we, of course. ag T ee that it would he better for them to remain here, slaves, than to be sent back, freemen, to their native land, but we contend that the demands of justice will not lie answered, unless these negroes in Savan nah jail are turned over to their proper own ers.
