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. evidert, to every man who comndurs iheMruo *> interes and welfare of the Slate. Foi THE CHRONICLE AND ADVERTISER. 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. ‘ OBSERVER. 1 IOR THE CHRONICLE AND ADVERTISER. 1 OLD JOE’M 3M TilOUtJli r.S. « 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 L» - • J t> 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.
