Hot the desiro lo f ,v something on behalf of their candidates, mill against the candidates of their opponents, will naturally lead them to commit acme act of indiscretion, which will certainly he detect- cd. and for which, as certainly, they will be rebuked. This is exemplified in some of the remarks of the Editors of the Federal Union of last week. They had the indiscretion and temerity to say, that “ Ho (lb« aenior Editor of the Recorder,) and his friends (the Troup party) happened, for a series of years, to op pose the Clark parly in their exertions to give the election of Governor to the people. He ami his friends happened to oppose the exer tions of the Clark party, to givo the. election ot Electors lo the people’," when it is ns well known as that the declaration of indepcndnn>.-» was adopted on the 4th of July, 1776, that was the'Republican or Troup party which fin- oily insured the adoption of both measures, ami that it was Troup men who first introdu ced the amendment of the Constitution in the mode ef electing tho Governor, to the consi deration oflbo Legislature The alteration of tho Constitution was con sidered n measure of tho last importance ; but before the republican party in tho Legislature determined on agreeing to tho alteration con templnted, they wished to ascertain the sense oftlicir constituents upon the matter. They made it their particular business to nscortain the sense of the people; end finding that that sense was foi a chango in the mndo of choos ing the Governor, the chango was made. With regard to tho chango in tho modo of choosing electors, the republican party thought best to apply directly to the people, for an ex pression of their wish. A resolution was ac cordiugly adopted for ascertaining the sense, of the people with regard to this subject A measure originating with, and purely of the onrly to which tho Editors of tho Federal Union belong, is tho act dividing the State into Congressional districts, which passed in 4825, nnd was reponlcd the year following by the Republican party being in the majority in both branches of the general assembly. We wonder that tlio editors of ihc Federal Union do not bring the repeal of this odious law, ns o charge ngaiust tho Trpup pnrly. Hut to pi,mo the subject of choosing the Governor nnd electors in a clear point of view, Cnd in Older to put it out of Ihe power of the editors of the Federal Union, to pervert Ihe fuels, or to misrepresent our words, nnd mis state our positions, we give tlio proceedings in the Legislature from 1821 lo 1825, inclusive, upon Ihe two subjects, with n few explanatory Dotos. In ihe Senate, NovnmhorC, 1821, Mr. Ry- an, of Warren, (a Troup man,) gnvo notice that ho would nfier this day, mnvo for tho ap pointment of n committee, to prepnro nnd ro per! n hill to alter and nmond the 2d section of the 2d article of the constitution of Georgia. According to this notice, n committee was ap pointed composed of Messrs. Ryan, Harden, Crawford, Rurlon nnd Wimberly, nil Troup tnen, who reported a bill nuiking the alteration Contemplated. On the final passago of tho hill, Mr. Adams, of Putnam, n Clnrk man, moved to strike out tho words “ majority of voles given in," and insert tho words “ und tlio person having tho highest number of vnies." This motion was rejected by n voto ot 30 npninst 15. The hill passed by tho con stitutional majority, 35 against 10, and order ed tu lie sent lo tho House. In tlio House, this bill from tho Scnato, wns token up. Mr. Fori, (a Clnrk mnn,) moved a substitute, which provided that tho person having tho highest number of votes should bo Governor. Mr. Fort’s substitute wns reject ed by t rote of 48 against 46; nnd tho origin- tl bill sas passed by a vote of 78 against 13. Note—Suppose tlio bill had possed, ns Messrs. Adams nnd Fort wished it, a "d was ttow in forco. Them nro threo candidates. Suppose the etociion was over, and tho votes wore as follows : For Gilmer 8,500 llaynca 8,000 Lumpkin 8,000 Then according to tho principlo of Utoae gentlemen, Mr. Gilmer would bo with only 8,500 ptuple for him, and 10,000 people against him. What eort of pnoeiplo is 'bit, if it bo not tho very eseetteo of toner- ■Warn. Contrast this with tho principlo of the Troup party—that finally adopted, nnd now embra ced in the bill. To nrtko on election the votes would have to stand somehow after this man Her : For Gilmer l***®® Haynoe s - 650 Lumpkin. 6,550 In the Senate, Nov. 20, 1832, tho bill pos- lod at the preceding session of the Legisla ture, to alter and amend tho 2d section of the 2d article of the constitution, was taken up. On the passago of tho bill thero were yeas 30, Days 17; passed in the negativo for want of a constitutional majority. The next day it was agreed to reconsider the vote of tho preceding day, yeas 28, noys 10. On tho 4lh Decent- jjg;, a.final veto ww taken on tho passage of constitution of Georgia. The committee np. pointed, was composed of Messrs. Montgom ery, Seaborn Jones, of Baldwin, and John Mncpherson Berrien, of Chatham, who report ed a bill, which passed tlio Senate by 47 votes against 8. .Vote. Tho Troup party being in tho ma jority in tlio Senate, we will ask tlio editors of the Federal Union, whether tho passage of tho hill is duo to tho Troup parly, or to tho f lark party ? We ask for information. In the same year ill tlio House, the hill in question, from tho .Senate, was taken up, nnd passed by a vole of 96 against 9. JVole. Previous to tho pnssngo of the hill in Ihe House, Mr. Wntson, of Baldwin, mov ed to strike out the word majority, and insert the odious word plurality, which would have given the power, ns wo have already said, to a small minority of volos to elect tlio Gover nor, whenever there were morn than two can didates. Fortunately tlio Republican party were in the majority in that Legislature, and the motion of Mr. Watson was rejected by a voto of 56 against 42. In 1824. the same bill finally passed both branches of the general assembly, by consti tutional majorities; in the Senate, by n vote of 47 against 9; in the House, by a voto of 90 against 10. A'ote. In 1824, ihe republican parlv was in tho majority in the legislature. Wo will ask tho editors of tho Federal Union to whom is due tho final passage oftlic hill ? .Vole. In 1823. a resolution was adopted by the legislature, for ascertaining the senso of the people in regard to the choice of elec tors of President and Vice President of the Umtrd States. According to this resolution, the voters in 1S2J. were requested lo endorse on Ihe hack of ilicir tickets ihe mode they pre ferred for choosing those officers, whether by tho “people” or by tho “ Legislature,” ns for merly. As there was a majority of 10,799 for choosing doctors by tho “ People,” a bill was introduced and passed at that session, meeting the wish of the citizens in that re gard. Before the final passage of the bill, ns it stands in our statute hook, the odious prin ciple of plurality was attempted to he incor porated in it, by Air. Ihirnsitle, of Columbia, n Clark man. He wanted that n plurality in stead of majority should docido tho election, placing it in tho power of a small minority of the penpln. when thero wero more candidates than two, for each office, to choose tho Presi dent and Vice President of the United States, The proposition of Air. Burnside was rejected by n vole of 66 against 35. The only eonsolation wo can givo to the editors of tho Federal Union, respecting the subject of thoso remarks, is, thnt Govornor Clark, in Ins messngo to tho legislolore of Nov. 5, 1923, suggested the propriety of an alteration of tlio constitution of tho State of Georgia, so as to givo tho election of Gover nor diroetly to tlio poople, nnd tho pnssngo of u law, giving lo the pooplo, tho choico of elec tors of President and Vico President of tho United Slates. Extract from Governor Hamilton’s Speech at the cele bration of tho State Right, and Free Trade Party, m Charleston. “ Need I say that tho South, or if you plonso South Carutino, will not dissolve tho Union 1 No, wo aro striving for that vital principlo from which it* “ very currant runs, or elso it boars no lifo.” Tho Constitution— justice an equal system of bonofits and bur thens.

To such a Union—a Union which finds its sanc tion in tho stipulations of tlio Constitution, I need not affirm to you how steadfast nnd how zealous is and over will ho our dovotion. However much we may duspisc tho unuttera bly false and unjustifiable accusation which imputes to us other sentiments und feelings, when it comos from thoso who aro profiting by tlio very system of injusticn of which wo complain, wo cannot but feel nono other but n sontiment of profound sorrow and mortifica tion. when vvo sco soma of our own fellow citizens indulging in theso injurious and un- chnritnhlo imputations.

It is well known thnt when in Congross, my colleagues and myself had no participation in placing, by her own act, tho State whero she is. The Resolutions of 1826, 1827 and 1828, were passed without our agency or connivance. These Resolutions pledged her honor bv committing her expressly, positively, and absolutely, not lo submit to tho American System, and that her resistance would bo foun ded on tlio interposition of her sovereign pow er. If we, my friends, aro prepared to re deem this very pledge, is it not a little hard, to say tho least of it, that wo should be subject to the censure and even branded with tho epithets of di*unionist*,by some of those very men who were instrumental in placing South Carolina where sho is I I know that we ore told that a Slate has no honor, end wc arc gravely asked whether sho can fight n duel 1 1 admit that this theory is ea.ealtal to, and THE COUNTRY” DANCE. Bv W. F. N. HiTLET. I stood mniil tlie glittering throng— I heard tt voire—its tones were sweet! 1 turned to see from whence they came— And gazed on all I longed to meet! She was a lair and gentle girl! Iter blight smile greeted mo by chance ! 1 whispered low—I took her hand— I led Iter forth to dance ! There was but little space to move, So closely all were drawn; Yet site was light of heart and step, And graceful as a fawn. A virgin flower geimn’d her hair, Her beauty to enhance; She was the atarof all w ho stood In that close cottage dance. I’ve moved since then in princely halls— I Iread them even now; I hold in mine the hand of one VVithcorouctrd brow; And 1 may seem to court her smile, And seem to heed her glance: But my heart and thoughts still wander home To that sweet country dance. Oh when I sleep, a melody Comes rushing on my brain, And the light music of that night Is greeting me again ; I take her still small hand in mine, Amid my blissful trance, And once more—vision worth a world! I lead her forth to dauce. HYMN. R< Ex-President J. Q- Adams. The following Verses aro stated to have been written for tho last American Anniversary, by Mr. Adams, and to have been oung at the Celebration ot Quincy : Sing to the Lord, a aong of Praise, Assemble, ye who love his name— Let eongrr gated millions raiso Triumphant Glory’s loud acclaim. From earth’s remotest regions come— Come greet your Maker and your King, With harp, with timbrel, and with drum— His praise let Hill and Valley sing. Your praise the Lord will not disdain— Tho humble soul is his delight— Saints on vourcouches awcll ihe Strain- Break tlio dull stillness of the night. Rcjoica in glory—bid tho storm, Bid thunder’s voice dispraise expand-» And while your lips Ihc chorus form, Grasp for the fight, his vengeful brand. On forth in arms ! Jehovah reigns— Their graves, lot foul oppressors find*. Bind all their scoptrr’d kings in chains Thoir peers with iron fellers bind. Then tn Ihc Lord shall praise ascend— Then all mankind with one accord, And Freedom's voice till lime shall end. In pealing Anthems—Praise ihe Lard. doubt which had hitherto existed as to the durable nature of such bodies as comets. It attained its solar elevation on the 13lli of March, when its distance from the sun was 11,650,000 miles, nnd was of inferior size to wlint it had been on its last appearance. Its tail was hut lightly illuminated, and not dis cernible except when the sky was clear; on which account no precise judgement could he formed of its leugth. Tho weakness of its irradiation was princi pally owing to its unfavorable position. Its last revolution had been seventy-six years and six months. It may reasonably he asked, why the comet consumed a whole twelve month more in its revolution than was natural to it I To this it may be answered, and upon very accurate calculation, that it first display ed itsclfclosc upon the planet Jupiter, which influenced and retarded its movement. Hence it appeared at a somewhat later period than Halley had foretold. The return of the comet in our days ought to take place in the year 1834, but it is possible it may be so fur influ enced by Saturn and Uranus, us net to make its appearance before 1835, or even 1836. Numberless calculations have already been formed on this event; and wc must leave it to time to determine which of them are correct.

Animated by the flourishing Slate of this College,and feeling an ardent destre still further todioaeminate the valuable system of practice therein taught, a second school of the same character was established in De cember, 1830, tn the town of Worthington, denmnina. ted “ The Ohio Reformed Medical College." This Col lege was chartered by the state as a literary institution- and, subsequently, the board of Trustees adopted the above, as the medical branch of their institution,where all the various branches of the healing art are taught on the refer med'sy stem. A number of young gentlemen have here commenced their etudies, and numerous others have applied for admission. Its locality presents the greatest advantages to facilitate researches in medical botany ; Ihe surrounding country abounding with a great variety of medicinal plants and vegetable pro. ductions. It is situated near the centre of the state, on the Whetstone river, nine miles north of Columbus, on the northern turnpike, and isono of the most henlthi and delightful villages in the western country.

HALLEY’S COMET, OR THE COMET OF 1834. There are few comets that are visible to tho naked eye, and on this account the comet, whoso return figures among tho calculated memorabilia of the year 1834, is entitled loan early and special notice. So far as modern observations reach, this comet was soon for tlio first time in Ihe year 1465, and it ap proached to a distance of 11,700,000 miles from the sun on tho 8th of Juno in that year. It came noar the earth, and under favorable circumstances ; presenting itself tvilh peculiar splendor and remarkable brilliancy ; travelling with a tail extended over a third portion of the firmament, and affording a spectacle of far greater beauty than it over exhibited since those times. Its next appearance wns in 1531 ; nnd on the 15th day of August, it was nt a distance of 21,600,000 miles from tho sun. The period of its revolution was, there fora, ascertained to be sevunty-five years, two months and seventeen days. Calculating each of its revolutions nt seventy-fivo years, tlio return of this comet might hnvo been pre dicted for the year 1606, or 1607 ; and, in fact, it did return in 1607. It approached nenrest tho sun on tho 26th of October, when it wns 11,750,000 miles distant from it. Th period of ils revolution had consequently been seventy six years, two months and ono day— ono twelvo month longor than the preceding whence it is obvious, that its progress had been disturbed by some planet, or other etrango body. It was of considerable magm tude, its bend being of tho size of the planet Jupiter.; but its light was weak and nebulous ; it had a long tail, and this was also loeblo in its rays as if overspread with vapors. The revolutions of this comot having been of 75 or 76 years duration, it followed that its return would occur in 1682 or 1683. This calculation wns confirmed by its re-ap. pearatico in 1682, when its nearest approxima tion to tho sun took place on the 14th Septem ber, on which day it waa distant from it 11, 650,000 miles. It tvaa notv for Ihe first time observed with any degreo of accuracy, by Halley, from whom it has consequently been denominated “ Halley’s Comot.” This as tronomer compared the resells of his several observations with those made on tho comets of the yoar 1607 and 1531, and found them closely to correspond with one another; from which he was led to infer,that the three nppesL ancos belong to oge and tho samo body. On this occasion, its revolution amounted to 74 years, ten months nnd eighteen days—giving a mean duration of seventy-live years and a half. Hallpy predicted tho return of the com et in Ihe year 1759. At first, however, it seems ns if tho event would not reaiizo Ihe prediction, ns tho comet was tardy in appear ing ; but tu tlio delight of every ustronnmer, it Yankee Enterprise.—Wo have seldom mot with any thing so happily illustrative of Yan kee character, as the following, published some years since in Blackwood’s Magazine— said lo he drawn from originals which may bo recognized now: I have known two American partners in a large mercantile house ; one had been educa ted for the bar, and one was believed to be in tho w iy to great authority, full sick, consumed all his property, and went into business with another adventurer, who had made and lost, already, half a dozen fortunes. The other (of the ttvo first named) had no education at till ; had been put appronlico to a retail shop keeper, at the ago of twelvo ; and had grown up (o manhood, in n course of adventure, that, in nnv country but this, would have been thought romantic and wonderful—as well as a complete disqualification for every kind of se rious business. These two, as I have said, wero partners in tho same house. They soon extended their operations over all the United States ; made money—speculated—and failed. A council was held between them. The younger of the two—he who had no education—spent several hours in determining whether Ito should be come a soldier, (lor ho was weary of mercan tile affairs,) go to India, and upset tho British power there; or to South America, and help to revolutionize two or three empires in that quarter; a clergyman ; (but upon tliut profits sion he hardly bestowed a second thought, af ter the reflection occurred, that, in America (here was noither rank, revenuo, nor domin ion, for tho clergy ; a physician; a lawyer ; an actor; an auctioneer, or n politician. The result was, that ho concluded lo bocorno a lawyer—tho law in America being tho high way to the highest honors of tho government —while his partner resolved to become a di vine. The first went forthwith lo his room—la bored night and day for several years (sup porting himself, in the mean time, by what tlo body but an American, in such a situation, would have thought of—in America—his pen, became distinguished, and is now a counsellor at law in tho Supreme Court of the United Slates- And yet—hardly eight years have passed since ho was a biokcu merchant, wholly uneducated, and apparently helpless. In the mean time, his partner pursued his stu dies in his own way; nnd is notv one of the most distinguished clergymen in tho United States. harmonises with the practice which theso per-1 became visible at !o*t» aod put SO Cird to Uio IIow strong must bo maternal affection ! How close its hold upon the heart! Even in the wrack of intellect, when reason swings from its mooring, it clings to the bosom, and lives on when all elso—when hope itself, is dead. We aro told by a paper published in tho interior of Pennsylvania, that last year tho child of an idiot young womntt about 23 yesrs old, was taken from her to a nurse. It was sent to the other side of the Susquehnn- nn, but tho mother swam across the river to get to the baby. This is a simple and touch ing fact. Well and truly has Mrs. llemnns sung, In all this cold tnd hollow world. There is no fount of deep, strong, deathless love, Like that within a Mother's breast. Trim's Explanation of the Fifth Command ment.—“ Pr’ythee, Trim,” quoth my father, “ what do’st thou mean, by honoring thy la ther and mother 1” “ Allowing them, nn’t plonso your honor, three pence a day, out of my pay, when they grow old.” And didst thou do that, Trim I” said Yorick. *' He did, indeed,” replied my uncle Toby. “ Then, Trim,” said Yorick, springing out of his chair und taking the Corporal by tho hand, “ thou art the best commentator upon that part of the Decalogue; and 1 honor thee more for it, Corporal Trim, than if thou hadst had a hand in thu Talmud itself.” The benefits to ho derived by on attendance at this institution will, wc trust, be truly appreciated by those who wish to acquire a correct knowledge of the heal ing art. Here 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 near the institution and pursuing o systematic courao ot studies, combining each of the departments of me dicine, he may acquire a knowledge of both in a short space of time, and at a very small expense in companion to that of other medical institutions.
