The revolt is now general throughout
the whole of Belgium. The troops ofthe
King amounted only to 41,000 at the be

the accounts ti-om Rotterdam, received
las* -light, the troops retiring from Hnw
f eels on Antwerp, for reinforcements, had
beeii fallen uiion hy the people, who mas
sacred the advance guard. Antwerp is
' stated to have risen, and Ghent is proba
bly hy this time la the possession of the
a Belgian forces. The King cun have no
thing to oppose this tor.vnt. If he sue
oeddh'in getting (he Dutch portion of hi#j
troops safe back to Holland, he may es
teem himself so far fortunate. As for the
Belgians, they will, unquestionably, join

the most prudent com se. An exploring

that prevails, w e shall number more than

a#an object of very great importance,
that the treaty should be ratified, and the

' Air. Doke will visit the country and as

December, when Ids report shall be for

Franklin College. —Wo are much gratified to
see old and highly respectable citizens, like our
respected correspondent, “ Observer,” step
I forward, in the exercise of their talents and in*
> flucncc, in behalf of this valuable institution,
( at the present lime, when clouds and darkness
I seem to gather thickly around it.—Tis the cause
-of literature and science, against ignorance and
• barbarism—light against darkness—freedom a
• gainst slavery—beauty against deformity—good
against evil! Who will not gladly volunteer in
such a cause 7—w ho will oppose it I
.Wo had hoped, that the late serious calamity
which befol the College, was one of those pceu
, liar instances of mere momentary misfortune, by
which an all-wise Providence kindly designs to
i bring good out of evil. Happening, as it did,
just when the Legislature had convened, and
was likely to bo most strongly influenced in its
behalf, it seemed wi II calculated to convert, in
a moment, all old prejudices into kindly sym-
I palhies and active regards, and unite all hearts
, all influences, and all cxor:i»iis, strongly in ila
i favor. *Ve trust, or at least hope, it may
> yet he so. BiSt when we sec an insidious, sinrs
-1 ter urged, with the evident design ofdo
s loating the aid, the comparatively small and feo
j 1)1° intended—and that project, too, advaii
j ced by the representative of a county of all others
- most unanimously devoted to the College we
q must confess that wo greatly fear for the conso
-1 qiicncos.—What strange fatuity incites the mo
■ ver of ibis gratuitous, conflicting proposition?—
i Mr. Black,of Richmond! Is it that he hopes to
. benefit the College, or the Slate ? Impossible !
> Does he seek, then, as a faithful representative
' to do the will of his constituents? No—assurod
■ ly not! for wo cannot believe there is a single
‘ individual in this county, whether among those
s who voted for him, or not, that accords with him
lin the present instance—and w bile all deprecate
t the obnoxious proposition, we have heard many
-of his warm personal and political friends express
' their astonishment and regret at it. No one at
\ tempts to defend it, or pretends to excuse it or
doubts, coming as it does from one known to be
, hostile to the College, and to have exerted that
, hostility in an equally irregular and preposterous
i manner at the last session, that it was intended
to defeat the contemplated appropriation.
• IV e arc glad to see that the measure is every
, "hero properly appreciated. A letter from
) Millcdgcville, published in the Savannah Gcor*
. gian, and no doubt written by the editor, Mr.
f Robertson, who is a member of the House, says;
' “Notice was given of a bill to remove Franklin
j College to Miltedgcviilo, and to appropriate mo
tley for the erection of suitable buildings, &c.
&c. The otfoclof mis hill will, I fear, be to do
' feet any appropriation, and I suspect, from the
, source whence it emanates, that that is its real
object.” And in this county, all understand it,
i and, so far as wc have seen, much excitement es
; ists against it. - Not a single individual has spo-
I ken to us respecting it, hut seems strongly mor-
I fined, that the tceliugs and wishes ol his county
: should have been so greatly misrepresented: and
we owe it to those feelings and wishes to the
character of the county in the Legislature and
! throughout the State—and to an institution in
j which the character and Welfare of the county,
and the State, are most deeply interested, thus
publicly to declare it a misrepresoutation-an un
tire misrepresentation! Wo hope the gentleman
will so far amend his error, and relieve the feel
ings of his constituents, as to withdraw his pre
posterousand odious proposition.
Wc refer the reader to the judicious remarks
of our highly respected correspondent;, and hope
with him, that the namesof the friends and op!
ponents of the College may he fully recorded
with their votes, and published throughout the
State; so that the people may be enabled tojiufoe
of them fairly, and reward each one,’fully ac
cording to his deserts. 1 '
We would fain say something of the urgent
propriety, if not necessity, of endowing the Col
‘ege in tho most liberal mi munificent manner
of inking it at once independent, and capable of
soon Jlacing itself on a footing wilh any other,
instel ofdependent on tho capricious favor, and
precious support, of tho Legislature—or, oth
erwise of appointing a committee to proceed at
ones » Athens, and burn up tho remaining pan
of it-imt we have not room at the present time.
And are, in fact, almost ashamed to think of
shore ibr the propriety of a measure which, iu
this ctightened age and country, should ho Self.

Mr. Editor ;—l am sorry to perceive, that a
proposition has been introduced into the House
of Representatives, to remove tho University of
this State, from Athens to Millcdgcville. The
mover of this proposal, has more common sense,
I presume, than to suppose that such a wild pro
ject would bo countenanced by the Legislature i
of Georgia; for I should conclude, that a propo.
sal to remove the Seat of Government to Athens,
would meet with as serious support, as the pro
posal to change the site of the University, in tho
way suggested. I can, therefore, only suppose
the object of tho proposal in question, to have
been to create division on a subject, on which I
conceive there should he a perfect uniformity
of sentiment. I hope, with most of the mem- ‘
hers of the Legislature, there will be no other a
hesitation on llie subject of an appropriation for 11
the College at Athens, than whether tho sum to m
'■ he appropriated, shall bo Thirty Thousand or I
■ Fifty Thousand Dollars. I cannot persuade my- w
' self to believe, that there will he any other hes- I
silation on this subject. That there will he an J
5 appropriation, I can have no doubt, as I know |i;
that our Legislators arc neither Goths nor VaQi
I dais. But, on the subject of tho amount of ap
propriation, there may be a very honest, and ex- , j
disable difference of opinion—no one I should
hope would propose to appropriate less Vhan 11
3 30,000 dollars ; and some would no doubt prefer
- that tho appropriation should bo 50,000, and a- II
mongsl those I should rank myself, wore I in
the Legislature. The latter sum would be of ?
trifling importance to the State, in proportion to M
the object to be promoted by it. Thirty Thou- i
sand Dollars would probably place the Universi- I
ty in good a situation as it was before the late S
calamity—and to sec it at least in that situation,
must be the desire, I should suppose, of every
considerate & liberal mind—of every one hav- )
mg a proper regard for the substantial interests I
of our citizens, and the ciedit and honor of the
State. Against a proper appropriation on thiß
subject, I trust there will he found very few
votes—lint should there he any, I hope their
g j negatives may he duly recorded, that they may
; have duo credit, as well for their calculating
j i powers, as for their enlarged and liberal views. ‘

Ik thinks, that when an idlefellow is running
lo the stores for credit, that he is setting a tray
for himself, and putting his fingers in, loo—and
* that it will most surely spring one of those
days, and take him unawares,
j Ik thinks, when he secs an obstinate churl
running needlessly into law-suits, and expend
ing dollar after dollar to cheat a neighbour, iu
stead of settling the matter peaceably at home;
that ho is preparing a trap for himself, that will
a spring before be thinks of it.
Ik thinks, when he sees a young man about
to get married, whohas no means of supporting
a wife and family—calculating to live on lore all
the rest of his life ; that ho too is setting a tray
that will spring sharper on him than ho ima
gines, if ho don’t keep a bright look out.
Ik thinks, when he hears a man talking of
moving lo the new counties, or to the gold
mines, w ho is tolerably well fixed here, that ho
had hotter keep his lingers oat of such a trap.
He thinks, when ho sees poor souls idling a
, way their time, in hopes of getting an office, or
of drawing a prize in a lottery, or of being left a
’ legacy, or ot tigios growing bettor, or of making
money by speculation, or iu hopes of any such
B thing—that it is all folly, and that they’ll fittd
( themselves caught in a trap ere they expect if.
Ik thinks, that people ought not to rely alto- '
gethor upon professions of friend ship—they aro
s abundant, and cost but little ; prefer acts of
friendship—they aro more rare, and more valu
able.
( off. if they would doubt the sinecrity of every
man, when they know he has a motive for do- ,
j ceiving them.
Ik (kinks, as no man livclh to himself,”
therefore, never trouble yourself about bm/itu* i

small articles for your family ; it is much better
to borrow them. This will make a neighbor
hood sociable.
Ik thinks, when you find your neighbours
■ obliging, you ought to got as many favors from
1 them as possible; one good turn deserves ay
■ other.
Ik thinks, that nothing is so pleasant, lo kind
hearted people, as to oblige their neighbors, by
' lending lo them ; therefore, when you borrow
1 any thing, never return it. Consequently, tho
> pleasure of the lender will be continued, no
body can tell how long,
Ik thinks, that if your neighbors speak ill of
yon, yon have nothing to do, hut to speak ill of
them ; thus yo«ir accounts will ho soon halaiv
I ced, and you will experience the truth and good
! sense of tho old maxim— short reckonings make
■ long friends.
Ik thinks, that you should never he selfish ;
therefore, mind every body’s business rather
moie than your own ; thus you'll expand your
mind—open your heart—and qualify yourself to
become a “ Ruler over many.”
Ik thinks, that it becomes every one to main
tain their independence as firmly as possible; —
therefore, never pay your debts as long as you
can avoid it.
Ik thinks, that if you have a very bud breath.
you ought so whisper to all of your acquaint
ance. You will interest them particularly by
'his method.
Ik thinks, tliat young gentlemen, in dancing,
should cut tho pigeon wing as often as possible,
particularly if the room be crowded—they will
i then soon have space enough for action.
He thinks, that if you aro very ignorant, you
must b» sure to take the lead in conversation.
