Shall we dissolve the Government, when we can do so much better than our fathers did ?” Political e msietcncy, where art thou ? Dead and buried ! This speech shall be thy winding sheet; no epitaph shall be written on the sod where thou nrt laid so low ! The sagacity of thu member from Bibb is truly great, the ingenuity of his ways is past finding out. The Tariff of 1828 (•‘ays he) is constitutional, not a doubt on that •subject, nnd under its benign influence “ eve ry essential article (not ono excepted) of do mestic consumption, can be procured on terms much belter than formerly,” and under it, we enjoy hlossings which our fathers never did : nnd still it is, in tho language of the resolutions, tin unjust, partial nnd oppressive law, one which has put tho patriotism of the people of Georgia to the severest test, to yield it obedi ence, nnd of which they now most emphatical ly demand a “ modification I” Strange ! all these blessings, and yet this injustice tinder the snme system ! I Surely injustice must be n word which has hitherto been used in the English language heelt-vpwards, or clso the member from Bibb must think that injustice, partiality and oppression are the only articles of domestic consumption used in Georgia; nnd that they are tho blessings which make us better off than our fathers were! From ven ting bursts of fire and vcngcnncc, nnd bran dishing his sword for battle against the Tariff, we sec him suddenly hoisting the white Bug, meeting the foe on the half-ground of consti tutional unfairness and inexpediency, nnd then ns if by some magic or enchantment moved, we find him comfortably quartered, drinking his coffee and sugar with great gusto, when every body expected to see loin in the field charging the enemy home, like a valiant cap tain. ******* But it is time to alight from this Pegasus M’Donald offered as a substitute, a preamble and resolutions favorable to the Supreme Court as the arbiter of matters of difference between the Slates and the general govern ment, kc., which was afterwards withdrawn.” Here is n direct contradiction in language, and a palpable inconsistency somewhere. Either the member did not entertain and deliver the same sentiments in his speech on the 1.5th, which lie proposed in his preamble and reso lutions oftlie 16th, orelsc he really did not ndvaoco the same doctrines in debate, which ho wrote out for the press, or clso the Editor of the Chronicle is mistaken in his report of the proceedings of both days. But to place the matter on lire footing on which he placed himself in his letter and written-out speech, and he cannot demur to (lie testimony, and then “ nut of his own mouth will 1 condemn him.” lie says in his speech that “ if Con gress should pass a law which was supposed to he unconstitutional, a state could not sit in judgment upon that Inw-the slates hnvc parted from this power, and have delegated it to the Federal Judiciary, ns a common tribunal free from sectional and local feelings, nnd more apt to give a correct decision than the inter ested party acting under the influence of an improper bins ! A little further on, and we hear him say that if Smith Carolina should make her resistance to the tariff law, the work of the state—the Supreme Court would Ihore by lie deprived of jurisdiction. What unmean ing, short-sighted inconsistency! In one breath we nro told that n slate cannot set judgment upon a law of Congress, whether it he unconstitutional or not, whether it destroys her sovereignly or ruins hor people, nnd that thcs'ates have parted with that power to the Federal Judiciary: nnd in the very next breath we are told that if South Carolina resists the tariff us a slate, the Supreme Court loses its jurisdiction. Now if South Carolina can re sist the tariff, will not this bo a slate, not only and come to a level with the horizon. The (sitting in judgment upon a law of Congress, member was ccrloinl v mistaken in saying j hut actually enforcing the judgment and sen- that the tariff was unfair ami inexpedient; nnd lence which it may pass in defiance of the he ought to have been !hn fast mail in the Le-1 Supremo Court? How cnmpleto a millifier gislnturc to havo stood up in support of the j does the member from Bibb muke himself in complaint made in the resolutions; for surely j maintaining this doctrine; the millifiers con- thc people of Georgia are the very Iasi who • tend that if Congress should pass nr, uncon- uugtit to have “complaints put into tlieir j stitulional iuw, and one which is oppressive to mouths” against a law, which lias produced j the people, that the stale of South Carolina all the blessings so ably portrayed by the has tho right to resist that law, and declare it speech in question. It is true Hint sugar nml j void and of none effect in that state, nnd upon coffee ore much chenper now than some the people thereof, and that tho decision of the years ago : but the same sagacity which dis-j Supreme Court that tho law is constitutional, " can hnvc no control upon the Slate in its sove- covered, nnd tho same “ recollection'’ which treasured up that sacred tact, it is pausing strange, did not also recollect, that within that same period of time, cotton had been to 30 cents a pound. By the samo process of rca seining, the member from Bibb would arrive nt another and quite as correct a conclusion, that if tho tariff should bo repealed, he pnres of sugar and coffee would rise to their ancient enormous prices. And it is plain that the snme surpassing ingenuity which could dis cover that we do better to buy sugar at 12 cents a pound, while wc receive 8 cents for cotton, thnn our fathers did to give 2.5 cents for it, nnd receive thirty cents for cotton,would likewise discover (the no less important fact,) that if sugar should fall to six, and cotton to (our cents a pound, we should be one hundred per cent, better off than we are now, for tho very same reason that wc are better off than our fathers wero, because articles of domestic con- sumption would then be much cheaper than now! These are truly stmesmnn-likc views. Mathew Carey nnd Hezekiuh Niles, tho father nnd mother, nnd therefore tho natural guar dians of the tariff, never entertained or sot forth more enlightened doctrines; indeed I have rend in their productions the same argu ments, the same ideas, and nearly the snme language in support of that measure. They think constitutional,wholesome and beneficial, and that it ought to be continued; the member from Bibb likewise, thinks it constitutional, wholesome nnd beneficial in its effects upon the price oflhe planter's neccssarios of life, but pretends that it nevertheless ought to be rcpualcd, or modified. Strange inconsisten cy I If the member will convince tho people ofGeorgin, that in conscquenee of tho passage of tho Inriff, every essential article of domes tic lifo can be procured clieapor than former ly; in a word, if he will make them as well sa tisfied with it as he scents to be himself, I have no doubt but that they reject overy member of the Legislature who could have the hardi hood to misrepresent them, by calling it un just, oppressive and baneful to their interest; and I should think that their righteous indig nation would not even bo stnyed against those who could havo the immodesty to call it “ un fair and inexpedient.” That ingenious gentleman, Don Quixote do la Mancha himself, was nover more unfortu nate than the member from Bibb, in the num ber of his extravagant and interminablo incon eistcncics. And as the Comer blundered out of the unhappy affair with the wind mill, into another quite as disastrous, so the latter gets himself out of tho uncommon inconsistency of eulogising a law, both as being constitutional and beneficial in its operations, in n speech in support of resolutions which denounce the same law as unjust, partial and oppressive, by diverting the attention of henrora and readers, to another inconsistency or political facc-about as egregious as the foimer. In his letter to the Editors of the Recorder, and in his speech aa written out,he seems particularly anxious to inculcate the idea that he is opposed to the debater doctrine, that the Supreme Court is the proper tribunal to decide upon the sove reignty of the states, by saying that “South Carolina’-! object was to make her resistance to the law, the ect of the whole state, and thereby deprive the Supreme Court of juris diction I In the Augusta Chronicle of January JSth, there is e report of hia speech in which fce is made to aay, the! the Supreme Court is die proper arbiter on such questions I And the same paper, in reporting the proceedings of the House on tho 16tb Dec, says, “Mr. reign capacity. Anil for ihc same thing pre cisely, docs tho member from Bibb contend, when ho says tlmt South Carolina may resist the tariff, and the Supremo Court has no ju risdiction over the case. Wlion tho head and tho heart do not go together, the projection of schemes is always inconsistent, and tho exe cution weak and inefficient; principles of con trary tendency arc sum to be developed when tho head is endeavoring to forward plans by the aid of means which nro revolting to the heart; nnd thu insidious attack which tho member and his ussoeintos were endeavoring to make upon Gov. Troup, under the pretence ofcondemning tho doctrines of tho tmllifiors, liaq developed principles which they did not as long as could be expected from a politician; but never until I rend this speech and these resolutions, did I hear of the legislator or poli tician, who adduced arguments only to con- fule and-confound them, mid advanced doc trines only to contradict them in the next breath, and then to add to tlmt contradiction, a rejoinder und surrejoinder of contradictions, proving to every body but himself that he had commenced in ahsurditv and sophistry; con tinued in contradiction and nonsense, and then drew his conclusions with a most exquisite logiciul deduction, ab absurdo ad absurdmn. Tho valiant Knights-crrant of the age of chivalry, when they set out on an adventure, went in quest of giants and demons, or to meet in the field nnd tournament, brother knights like thomselves; the courageous and redoubt able knight of La Mancha it is true, sometimes encountered more uncomely adversaries than these. But the member from Bibb in reviv ing the “ by gone fame” of cltivalric valor, stoops not to shiver a lance with such puny adversaries as these, hut strikes nt states und sovereignties, principalities and powers, and wages a war of extermination against the abominable Knights of nullification Tho Legislature of South Carolina at its lute session, passed n resolution approving the course pursued by Georgia towards the Indians, nnd declaring her right to extend her laws over them at utty time and in any man ner she pleased. The Georgia contest is now raging to its highest pitch; Stale Legislatures and assemblage* of the people in towns and cities, have abused our public characters, in sulted our feelings, and called us worse than savages, and some have even threatened to tube up arms against us. In this fearful, and to us dark hour, when so many enemies abroad have reared tlieir crested heads, South Caro lina magnanimously steps forth in our behalf, and vindicates our injured cause nnd charac ter. Gratitude dictates to every generous und manly bosom, what should he our feelings in return for this expression of her kindness and lender of her friendship, but the member from Bibb, stung to tho very quick at seeing so generous nnd noble a proffer of friendship, bv those whom he had abused and reviled so much; whoso feelings he had outraged; whose character lie had stained; whoso motives he had blackened; whose patriotism he had slan dered, and against whom, the artillery of his wrath arid indignation had been pointed in the shape of resolutions for legislative enactment, declares that “as a citizen ofGeorgin andaro- presentntive of her people, I thank not Car olina fur a tender of her friendship; her mo tives are too palpable; Georgia is competent to tho management of her own affairs.” Here is friendship to the Union indeed I Here is tho result of all that vapouring nnd frothy cant about nullification and disunion, which rung with such a long and loud, nnd hideous veil through the halls of our Legislature. “ The Federal Union must bo preserved,” says he, and how 1 by scorning tho friendship of its members; by holding up to our praise und ad miration, tho grontness nnd goodness of the “nntionnl” government with the left hand, und with the right, stubbing underneath tho States nnd their sovereignty, to tho very vitals. This is following with a scrupulous pcrtinaci mean to advance, it shews too, that it was! ty, the ndvicc of the father of his country to not nullification, hut Troup and the Troup i tho people, which the member read with ns party they were aiming at. But of nil the inconsistencies nnd extravn gattcics into which the wayward disposition of the member from Bibb lias drawn him, is the wanton, unprovoked and uniustifiublo attack which he made upon the polities and opinions oftho people ufSoulh Carolina, and tho he gislaturo of that slate. He says that hu “dis likes to sec persons exciting others to com plain, (alluding to the Carolinians) of grievaa ccs which they do not feel, and of which they arc not sonsiblc.” Is lie not guilty uf the same thing himself! Why is ho and his coad jutors putting it in the months of the peoploof Georgia to say, ns their “ prevailing feelings,” that it has required all thu patriotism they pos sessed to yield obedtenco to a law on account of its injustice and oppression,and yet lie him self feels no griuvnnces from its operation, ex cept in tho reduclinn of the price of domcetic comforts, nnd in tho enjoyment of blessings which our fathers nover felt I Of all persons he must be tho most fit nnd proper to wear the cap ho has so nicely necdleworhed for others! He must be the “ political empyrir,” that is persuading the p.eoplo that they arc afflicted with diseases which havo required nil tlieir ef forts to withstand, while ho believes them at tho same time invigorated by “ every csson- tial article” of health nnd comfort. He must be “ tho restless, discontented, and ambitious spirit," (to use his own language) who is “ ex citing others to complain of grievances which they donot feci” nnd “ placing in review before them, evils which bate no actual existenco I” While ho was ranking, ns ho no doubt thought, these home thrusts at the politicians uf South Carolina.und casting the most opprobrious epi thets upon them without a knowledge of tlieir motivos, ho should have guarded cautiously against making his own words the soverest retort upon himself, and an index to motives in his own bosom, of the same character with those whicli ho so vehemently and virulently charged upon the Carolinians. If they arc exciting the people to complain of unfelt grie vances, he is doing tho same; if they are per suading the people that there is danger, when there is nouc, and that evils threaten them which have no actual existence; what more or less, or bolter is he doing, when lie arouses their indignation to a law which had its con* c ption in injustice, which operates in partiali ty, and whoso baneful influence was still pres sing upon their vital interest, mid then, to cap the very climax of political absurdity and con tradiction, tells them that under its influence, all the planter’s necessaries of life can be pro cured on much better terms than formerly, and that they do better than their father’s did I I have heard it said that to remain consistent for two successive days and nights, was quite much apparent triumph, ns though ho thought it applied to his own conduct. This is pro moting the interest of the great family of re publics by fawning and flattering the head then turning round and stinging like an adder, one of the fairest, one of the most gallant, pa triotic and devoted members of that family; and one too who was struggling with us in a common cause against injustice and oppres sion, nnd who had made us a magnanimous tender of her friendship, in a contest exclu sively her own in which she was not interes ted, or could be in any wise nn immediate gainer or loser. How beautiful is that precept of holy writ, which directs us to return good for evil; and how forcible a commentary upon it is the con due* of tho member from Bibb, who vents his envenomed spleen against our friends, and re turns maledictions and railing, for proffered friendship. There is a principle of our na ture which, when we have injured a friend without a cause, and see that lie knows it, cxeites out jealousy, kindles our ill-will and inflames our hatred. It is the gnawing of an offended conscience; it is the keen reproach which flows from thoso bursts of generous and manly feeling which every heart, however har dened to iniquity, must sometimes feel; and if the member when he reflects that he has re jected with anger and peevishness, the prof fered hand of friendship, and endeavored to chill by one foul speech, the warmth of a sis ter’s love, feels none of these compunctious visitings, none of these silent touches at the throne of conscience, then I must think him past all hope of returning sensibility. But “ Georgia is competent to the manage ment of her own affairs,” says he I Wonderful discovery I And is not South Carolina equally competent to the management of her own af fairs 1 Does she need tho guardianship of cer tain political characters in Georgia, who think themselves wise and immaculate enough to dictate to her what political opinions she must espouse, and what must be the measure ofher opposition to the tariff. Is it necessary to the existence of her independence and free dom, that the noxious vapours which infect her political atmosphere, nnd taint the very air she sr.ufls, must be blown away by the pure nnd patriotic exhalations of the leaders of a political party in Georgia? Hamilton, Havne and Taylor, and a host of those who were acting with them, had always been looked upon as republican patriots, tho sons and de scendants of revolutionary heroes; but when they come to be tried by the erudition and sa gacity of tho member from Bibb, they are found to be dross in the refiner's hands ; he has weighed their patriotism in the balance with kis oun, and they are “ found wonting I” They had hitherto Leon looked upon as planets of superior magnitude in the shining galaxy of American statesmen, hut now the luminous sun himself has arisen, they are scattered and be nighted by his resplendent rays, they hare set in darkness to rise no more ! ! But the “motives of Carolina are too palpa ble in interfering with the affairs of Georgia I” And what arc (lie motives of the member in interfering with the affairs of Carolina, might be humbly inquired ? The motives of Carolina are to conciliate the feelings of Georgia. The motives of the member ure to nlienate the feelings of Carolina, and create enemies to our cause there, as if we had not already en ough enemies in other states. If motives are to lie inquired into; if tho hearts of politicians arc (o bo searched, an investigation into the motives which led to the introduction of these resolutions, would perhaps disclose tho un comfortable fact, that neither tho welfare of the Union, nor yet of the good citizens of Georgia, was even thought of, or expected to he advanced by them ! it could not lie to pro serve the public treasure I It could not be to heal the wounds which a political strife of five years had inflicted upon the community, which had distracted the councils of the state, and impeded the march of mind. For what then could it be ? “ To check tho progress of opinions so hostile to the best interests of the country,” suys tho speech ! To embark in fighting expedition against other people’s thoughts, and preservo the L T nion by stopping the operations of the intellectual faculties ol tho Carolinians, who forsooth, because they do not think correctly, shall not bo permitted any longer tu think at all!! To abuse and vilify South Carolina for talking about rcsis tance to a law which is “ pressing upon her vital interests,’’ nnd which has in the language of the resolutions, always put “ the patriotism of the people of Georgia” to the severest trial, to “ yield it obedience.” To lecture the people upon constitutional law, and tell them that the tariff which thoy have hitherto deemed unconstitutional is altogether constitutional and only a “ little unfair and inexpedient I” To teach their constituents what political opinions arc orthodox, and wlrat are hetoro dox, and to “ check tho progress'* among them uf doctrines of which they are incapable of forming a correct judgment, and which it is dungcrous for them to hear. In a word, to set the “ servants above their masters I” To dictate to tho people wlmt shall be their will instead of obeying the will of the people which had been dictated to them. After so many and such warm professions of respect for the people, we would naturally suppose that the member from Bibb would ever be attentive to their will nnd wishes, and obey their instruc lions without hesitation or variation. But ns if to bind up the bundle of his inconsistencies, he voted against the bill to reduce the num her of members of tho Legislature, after that measure had been loudly demanded by the people in the most solemn and impressive manner, and even after a majority of his own county had voted for it. In his own language it might be asked, “ what construction are the people to place on such conduct? How arc Ihn motives of such politicians to he estima ted ?” I only mention these things to shew that “ vox populi” is not always “ vox dei,” with those who are always clamoring about Union and Disunion, and whose political professions from Alpha to Omega, are to “ the people.” to the “ sovereign people,” tn the “ people’s will,” and by the “ people’s men I” 1 have dono with these resolutions for the present, nnd with their gigantic offspring, the sublime production of the member from Bibb. A multitude of other inconsistencies and follies might be exposed; but I leave them to faint nnd diu of tlieir own sickliness, to perish upon the poverty of the bleak and barren soil from which they spung I JUNIUS.

Feb. 22-8-4 NEW YORK MEDICAL ACADEMY. CIRCULAR. T HE happy effects of the Botanical System ofPrs t . tice, more espocially of late, employed in the erne of Diseasee, are auch aa entitle it to a high rank anions modern improvements. The opinion long entertcintd in its favor, by many ofthe judicious, a (borough ex perience has now demonstrated to be well founded: i,n>J with the number and variety of its salutary; achieve- incuts, its reputation is increasing. It must be evident to every diaccrning mind, that the present prevailing practice of medicine, whicli re. iocts this Botanical ajd, isat variance with our nature and our happiness. MERCURY, the LANCET, and the KNIFE, ere chiefly relied upon by Physicians and Surgeons of the present day, for the removal of almost all the diseases incident to the human body, notwit hstanding the ef fects of these deleterious agents are evidently fatal to multitudes. Deeply impressed with (lies « fact-, and with a view of reforming the science and Practice of mediciue, an individual in this city, in the year 18if, procured slot of ground, and erected a handgr.xnc and convenient edifice for an institution dcnominali'd the United States Infirmary, expressly for employing re. formed system of Practice in the treatment of diseases',’ the remedial sources being chiefly derived from the productions of our own conntrv. The course of treat, incut adopted by this institution, was principally the result of near forty years experience of a distinguished medical reformer; which course, we arc happy to state, has been crowned witli success, and proved to ademon- strut ion, that, without Mercury, that boasted champion of the Materia Medica, or other poisonous drugs, dis eases generally, may he cured by those more safe and salutary means which the liud of Nature baa so libe rally scattered around us. Animated by the past success, and with the hope cj benefitting future generations, an irrepressible tlesiit’ has been felt, that measures commensurate with the importance ofthe object, should be taken to pronml. gate this valuable system of practice, and thereby im prove and reform the noble and important science of medicine. After reflecting for years on the most prudent and successful method of effecting so desirable an object, it lias been deemed expedient to establish a Medical School, with competent teachers; where students may receive board and education, until they arc fully cjnala- fied to practice in the various branches of the ilcuting Art, upon the reformed system. Wc arc now happy to announce that u building for such an institution bus been erected, and ojiencd for the reception of students who can commence at any period. The building is large and commodious, situated in r.lilridgc-strcct, between Grand and Dronine-atreets, adjoining the present United States Infirmary. It is in a healthy and retired part of the city, and has been completed at a great expense. Tho following branches arc taught by Lectures, Ro- citations, Examinations,and suitable Text books:— 1. Anatomy, 2. Surgery. 3. Theory and Practice of Physic. 4. Midwifery, and Diseases of Women and Children. 6. Materia Mcdica, and Practical Botany. 6. Chemistry and Pharmacy. The benefits to tie derived bv an attendance at tliia Institution will, we trust, he duly appreciated by those who wish to acquire a correct knowledge oflhe Ileal, ing Art. Mere the student will bo taught all the mo. dern practice which is deemed necessary, in addition to the Botanical; and in consequence of his residing in the Institution, and pursuing a systematic course of studies, combining each ot those departments, he may acquire a knowledge of both in a short space of time, and at a very small expense, in comparison to that of thcr Medical Institutions. There being an Infirmary connected w ith the Acade my, the students will huve the benefit of Clinical prac tice, by which the experimental part of medicine n il! he acquired with the theory. There will be no s;»ccificd tune to complete a course of study, but whenever a student is qualified to puss an examination, he will receive a Diploma. Some w ill require one year, others two or more years, to com plete tlieir studies. For tho information ot some, we ivisli to state, that this system of Practice is essentially ilili. rent from that disseminated by Dr. Samuel Thompson. REQUISITIONS.
