CT* We take the liberty of inviting attention to the notification of the Secretary of the Georgia Uni- ersity, which will bo seen in its place. We occupy our last page with a chapter from the “ Praric ” about to be published, which we extract from another paper, in order to give such of our readers as indulge in that kind of reading an idea of its character and execution. We should infer from it, a considerable similarity to some of the preceding works of this author. and so it will and must continue, while those physi cal causes exist, and their social relations preserve so minute an individuality or separation of interests. For these reasons we believe the condition of those on whom the labour, for the most part, devolves in these southern states, to be preferable to that of the labouring part of the population in Great Britain, and that the comfort of the latter would be improved by resolving themselves into a similar condition; for here, when their labour has resulted in an accumula tion of property, should adverse cij^uinstanccs oc cur, they have that property to rely on for subsist ence ; but there, as soon as their toil has created a store beyond the demand, their interest in it ceases, and their means of support are prostrated until the excess may obtain a vent, or be consumed by those who can command it. We do not intend to imply that we arc advocates of the system prevailing around us; but merely, that notwithstanding its ob jections, it affords more security and comfort to its subjects than the others enjoy.—However, this wc think to be certain—in those communities subject to the grievances in consideration, either systems must be established that will enable the producer to par ticipate in the benefits whenever the supply renders further production temporarily inexpedient,—or they nqipt submit to a yearly aggravation of the horrors of which they now complain. that before' they can expect any body to vote for C61.

The foreign news which we give in this day’s pa per, is interesting, but wo will not pretend to suffici ent forecast, or acumen in those affairs to say it is important. The newspapers on a larger scale extract many discussions from the English journals relative to the uncommon change in the British ministry; but we conceive none of them of more moment than the selection we have inserted.—Mr. Canning will now doubtless have his associates “bone of his bone,” and as the portentous measures he so firmly called for and adopted m relation to Portugal have been virtually disregarded by those on whom they were intended to operate, it is not improbable that they niay be followed by something more .vigorous,' which shall originate momentous events.

Yet men reputed to possess a very fair portion of common sense, and even wisdom, are constantly accounting for them in a manner, and proposing a remedy by means which argue as limited a know ledge of the principles of production, exchange, and consumption, s-s had the political economists to whom principally Irish. Many of them appear to they appeal for support.—Of the notices of the sub have been acquainted with mechanic arts, ject bearing tho chatacter we presume on imputing and in one paper we find a man advertising to them, the following by one of much note in poli tical he wants to purchase a servant " capa ble of instructing children in reading, wri ting, and arithmetic.” Importations of blacks from the West In dies, were not unfrequent in those days, and they were publicly advertised for sale. Though the population was so inconsid- tical, literary, moral, and perhaps even commercial science, is rather too absurd to be called a fair spe cimen of them, though it par takes largely of their nature:— From two provincial papers we extract these para graphs.

The con test has been a bitter one, but Georgia has triumphed, and the nation at large has de rived from it a signal benefit; for the dis cussions that have grown out of it, have had more influence than any thing that has oc curred in many years, in awakening the States to a due sense of their rights, and in enabling them to place a just estimate on the nature and extent of the powers of the General Government. But in addition to the triumph Georgia has enjoyed in the matter of these lands, she has received a substantial benefit in another point of view. The claims of her citizens for militia servi ces, in times long passed by, have been al lowed. We believe that, hut for the Creek controversy, these claims would still be un settled. The violence of the Creek con test necessarily excited in others, an in tense attention, not only to the subject im mediately in issue, but also to others which had been matters of complaint on the part of Georgia. Of this, a distinct perception of their justice, was the inevitable conse- A desire perhaps, to conciliate, mav have had its influence. - But the chief influence is, we have no doubt, to be deriv ed from the source we. have pointed out. There are still, however, we apprehend, difficulties in store for Georgia. A large por tion of her territory remains in the possession nf the Cherokecs. Georgia will not rer-t sa tisfied till this is obtained, and the obliga tions of the General Government in regard to her territory are fulfilled to the last tittle. It is now a most propitious moment to agi tate that subject. Two of the oldest and most influential Chiefs of that Nation sleep with tl-eir Fathers. The party in opposi tion to a sale of the country found their chief support and protection in these chiefs. Those who occupy their places are under stood to be men of a different disposition and character. An intelligent Cherokeee is said to have made the remark, when he heard'c^f the death of Charles Hicks, that, the Cpcrokees will sell their land now those who are left have their price. Now, Another Invention !—There is scarcely a day that the “affiliated presses” in the cause of the Administration do not spawn forth some miserable misrepresentation. Now, we have the feeling of Gen. Jackson tortur ed by an indelicate attack upon his wife; then all the merit of his New-Orlcans vic tory is to be depreciated. Now, the public is to be blinded by a false account of an Op position Caucus within the walls of the Capitol itself; when it was there that the friends of the Administration sat in Divan. Then, we are to be startled by the story that M. Van Buren is to be run as Vice- President; and next, that Woodbury is to be the selected candidate, tales as idle as any in Arabian Romance.—On Friday, we con tradicted the silly tale of Gen. Jackson’s being the author of a double-faced letter, se cretly recanting his opinions On the Tariff. And on Sunday, We have in the Frankfort Commentator of .the 2Sth April, an anony mous letter from Augusta, Geo. of the 1st of March, which states as the opinion of many intelligent men, that the “temperate yeomanry” of Georgia “ will take up Adams,” and as “ the firm belief” of the writer, “ that Jackson will not get the vote of the State.” Let that monstrous whale, however, pass—we come to another asser tion equally bold and unfounded: “If Gen. Clark and his friends (coupled with the influence of Mr. Crawford, who is known here to be for JVfr. Adams) should take him (Adams) >;p, (and it is believed they will,) his success in this state is almost certain.” What a farrago of falsehood and nonsense I But we pass over all his hypotheses to come at once to his assertion : “ Mr. Craw ford is known to be for Mr. Adams.” We know better; and the Cabinet at Washington know better. Wm. H. Crawford is op posed to the re-election of J. Q. Adams.— He will support Gen. Andrew Jackson, in preference to Mr. Adams.—Richmond Enq. is still inhabited by pihrrims, who, though not Guebres, still pay their adorations to the holy flames. To witness this. 1 had di verged so great a distance from the usual route of travellers returning through Persia to Europe. “ July 6.—I left Eakoo early this morn ing, attended by my servant and a Cossack. Sixteen miles Northeast of the town, on the extremity of the Peninsula of Abosharon. I came, after ascending a hill, in sight of the ob ject of my curiosity. The country around is an arid rock. Enclosed within a penta gonal wall and standing' nearly in the cen tre of the Court, is the fire temple, a small square building, with three steps leading up to it from each face. Three hells, of dif ferent sizes, are suspended from the roof. At each corner is a hollow column, higher than the surrounding buildings, from the top of which issues a bright flame'; a large fire of ignited naphtha is burning in the middle of the Court, and outside several places are in flames. The pentagon which on the outside forms the walls, comprises in the. in terior nineteen small cells, each inhabited by a devotee. “ On approaching the teitiple, I immedi ately recognized, by the features of the pil grims, that they were Hindoos, and not .

But with all his activity, perseverance, and energy, he cannot do much in the short time that remains of his official term. The work must be consu mated bv his successor. It is an important matter—vitally important to the people of Georgia, and it becomes them to look well to it. Every thing de pends on the man whom they may elect in October next, to fill the office of Governor. The obvious dictate of common sense is, that the man should be elected, who, in the controversy that has just ended, has been most completely identified in feeling, in prin ciple, *and in action, with Gov. Troup. The United States Government, as it is as pre sent administered, is very prone to find pre texts for avoiding to do what is its duty to wards Georgia. The slightest expression of popular opinion that can be so construed, will most assuredly be seized upon by it as an excuse to postpone indefinitely the ac quisition of the Cherokee lands. Hence the immense importance of electing Mr. Forsyth, to succeed Gov. Troup. He is before the people as a candidate for the of fice. Every man in Georgia, who knows any thing, is well acquainted with the part he has borne in the late controvert” about Indian lands. Now slfcmld he be rejected by a people having this knowledge, and hav ing so deep an interest as we all liuve, in the Cherokee lands, what will Mr. Adams Trade with Peru.—We learn from letters from Lima to the 3d of January, that through the interference of our vigilant and intelligent Consul, Mr. Tudor, some concessions have been made in the com mercial regulations of that country, which are likely to be of material advantage to our citizens. Qne of these is a permament re gulation, by which whale ships will be al lowed to enter the port of Callao and to sell oil and naval stores for procuring their sup plies without paying the tonage duties which are exacted on merchant vessels. The du ties paid at Callao are three, viz:—those on the merchandize sold ; an anchorage du ty, which is trifling; and a tonnage duty, which is heavy. The whalemen which of ten touch there, being now exempted from this last duty, can sell a few barrels of oil, commonly at a good price, to procure sup plies—a permission which must be of con siderable convenience. Another provi sion, in favour of our manufactures, is of more importance. A new Tariff was lately established to take effect in February,which subjects most of our articles of e xport to that country to a heavy duty: that on cotton goods bleached and unbleached, chairs, fur niture, hats, shoes, lard and soap, being 80 per cent. It was still more injurious to our trade by an exemption in behalf of Eng lish and India cotton goods, which although ! our manufactures are better adapted to the market and are generally preferred, would have given the English the entire supply. Mr. Tudor in a long correspondence with the Government, endeavoured to obtain an alleviation of the duty, particularly on cot tons and chairs, those being the most impor tant articles, but if this was 'not granted, he claimed firmly, as an indispensable alterna tive to show the impartiality of the govern ment, that all foreign plain cottons, Eng lish, Madapollams, India Sannas, Baftas, &c. should be subjected to the same duty. This has been acceded to, and a decree pub lished equalizing the duty . on all plain cottons. Our goods will in consequence en ter the market on the same terms with the English, and being from their substantial quality better adapted to the consumption of the country, they will have the preference. The sale of these goods, in the market, a- mounts already to more than $200,000 a year, apd it may be expected to increase.^- Boston Advertiser. so m-od with the corrupt dialect of the Tar- investigation of the Railways of this , tars, thaiT had some difficulty in under-‘ dom, he parts from me this day,to embark Therefore, iftras enormous taxation enables a large and his ministers say when the subject of a v.C'L • ' -V — M. ^ ■ A . a _ a I nAxttAn lUn nnrvnlntfAn ♦ A /lAtl onm A U’ltnAIlt 4vaa4*i Mrttn 4A S' M AWAl.A a a a.a - A Standing them.
