Hid. DISTRICT DAVID J. BAILEY. IVih. DISTRICT W. B. W. DENT. Vih. DISTRICT E. W. CH \STAIN, The History of the Conservative Party ol Georgia— ihe Present Canvass. We have no doubt but that the object of the Con servative party of Georgia, in its assumption of a South ern lace at this time, is to play toe part of Judas. This is no new game with tile politicians of this reboot. Ii is their trick in the game of polities—one peculiar to them—at which they have practised incessantly, and 1 ave acquir. and an cxpertm ss in its performance which will command the applause of professional rneu. \t hile they belonged to the \\ hig party, and follow ed the lead ot Clay, they jocontinently swore that they were n< ither Bank mcu, nor Tariff men, nor Internal Improvi ment nan, but straight-laced Republicans ot the Sta e Rights school. Many good men were gulled by the fi. rce asseverations of Toombs and the oily per suasiveness of Stephens, and were so blinded by the prejudices they cherished in th.ir bosoms that they BeVer eliseov. n and lli.-ir error, even when Clay was the candidate of their party for President—Clay, the em bodiment ol the American system, and the fieiccst and greatest enemy of State Rights and Southern Rights which tiiis generation has produced. w hen the discussion comm* need upon the applica tion of the VVilmot Proviso to the Mexican territories, by which slavery would be forever excluded from them, no men in the South were more zealous in their denun ciations of this odious measure than the leaders of the Conservative party. Even Mr. Calhoun was accused by* them of lack of zeal in the cause of the South, and they joined the Free Soilers in defeating the Clayton compromise, in which the whole question* was referred to the Supremo Court of the United States, preferring, they said, to keep the subject in their own hands, mid pledging themselves to the country, by the most solemn asseverations, never to consent to the erection of Gov ernments in the Terri ories until the Mexican law abol ishing slavery was repealed. They thus took upon themselves a heavy .rtsponsibility. They defeated a compromise approved by the great leaders of Southern Opinion with the aid of I ret- Soil votes. The irritating question was kept open for another year. The country was shaken to its centre by the fierce conflicts which ensued bet wet n the North and the South. The times were perilous, and good men trembled in anticipation of a civil war, the dissolution of the Union, and the loss of our lib. rties. Ttien these sticklers for the rights of the South quite forgot their pledges to the South, join ed the Union party, passed the Clay Compromise, lift the Mexican law abolishing slavery in full force, de graded and insulted the South by deserting her in her utmost need, consented to tile exclusion of her brave citizens front the soil they had won by their valor, and gave the North a certain fixed and controlling majority in the Federal Government. Th.se arc the men who now, under the name of Conservatives, profess to be the peculiar ftiends of the South. Judas! Judas! They betray with a kiss.; they smil., and stab under the fifili rib. They arc prc paring for a repetition of their tr ek. Beware! We are astonished at the recklessness with which they sport with the best int. r.sts of the country. We cannot b. lieve they would knowingly imperil the public liberties or sacrifice the South to their sedish purposes ; but the record shows that they will hazard both t,’ gratify their political animosities and keep themselves in high station. \Y hat other explanation can tin \ give of th. ir adhesion to the Whig party for twelve years, when they publicly repudiated most of the cardiual principles of the Whig party ? What other excuse can they giv. for their opposition to the Clayton Compro mi e, When they greedily swallowed the Clay Compro mise ? How shall u-e account for their zealous sup port of \Y eustkr, the life long enemy of the South and tin- father of Free Soilism, and their frantic war upon I ieucr, wlu. has never flinched from a bold and fe„r less deli use of Southern Bights ? They must aud will have power, nt any and every sacrifice. ‘I lie g one they are now playing is of a piece with th.ir antecedent history, and though the hazard of the South is not so great, it is imminent enough to excite the liveliest apprehensions. We have a sound North ern na n in the Pr. sidmtiu) chair, uho has given al most all his important offices to Southern men, and is straining every nerve to build up „ sound party at the North. All lire Consetvati.e men o! his party at the North have rallied to his support. There is a fair prospect of succ.sk. Ui administration is eminently popular. Even the fiercest of the Fire-eaters tire well a filters of Presidt nt Pierce. Ihe hopes of Southern pat,it, ts have revived-they look with hop- to the lu lute; the harsh cry of disunion is stifled in the laud • ! tiie how of promise hangs bright and prophetic of peace 1 upon the politic; at ; Free Sutlers are recanting their errors and coming back under the national stand aid ; the power of the Abolitionists is partially broken ■ there is nothing needed now hut a firm and unbroken front at the South in support of the Administration, lo guarantee the Irian,pliant success of sound principles in tin- Federal Administration. But alas.’ Ephraim is joined to his idols—the glory of the victory will not set tie upon the heads of Toombs and Stephens—-they have gained no laurels in the war, and, like Jeroboam, the i sen ot Nebat, they cry. “To your tents, O Israel I - ’ I ‘■the South is in danger !”-and they have erected an other standard, and their unthinking legions bristle for 1 1. war. And pray, where do they hope for recruits { The national Democracy, in which is congregated .he conservatism of the North, will not join them. Their recruits must be.from the Whig ranks-tlm Free Soil VVhtg ranks of the North ; and even if they succeed in the fight, a victory with such allies musl be a defeat. We religiously believe that the safety of the South is suspended upon the triumph of the national Democracy, j Our only f, i. nds are in its ranks Let us, then, go up gallantly to the fight, and let our watchword be, “ (iod and our native land.” and may the Father of Lightß ii lunune the public mind, and bring the contest to a happy issue!

The Artesian well in Montgomery is now about 6*o f*et deep, and throws out 20 gallous of waur per minute. A Short Keply. Wo are astonished at the tenacity with which many of oup cotemporarie* cling to the charge that we have apologized ‘or the appointment of Free Soilers to office, and can only account for it upon the supposition that, having done so themselves while Fillmore was President, they are anxious to shield themselves from public condemnation by implicating us. In the extract from our columns adduced by them as proof of the charge made against us, we do not even ad mil that Pierce had appointed Free Soilers to office, but simply set forth a state of facts existing in some com munities at the north, which might render the appoint ment ot Free Soilers to local offices unavoidable. Now, is it not apparent to the dullest comprehension, that until we admit that the President had appointed Fret* Soilers to office, it is preposterous to charge us with apologising for such appointments? and that what is unavoidable is not subject matter for apology. An apology implies error. YVe have never admitted the error, and could not, therefore, apologise for it. We arc the more earnest in this matter, as we arc the deadly enemy of these creatures, desire no fellow ship with them, and will co-operate with no party which warms them in its bosom. This is indeed one great cause of our hostility to the Southern Whig or Conser vative party. It not only supported a party which re cognised Free Soilers as members in full connection and fellowship, but actually chose them out of the array of its great men. and voted for them for President and Vice-President of the United States, knowing them to be such. The editors of the Conservative journals ou<iht to be ashamed to bring the charge against Gen. Pierce of appointing Free Soilers to office. They ihemselves would have made a Free Soiler President of the United States. Uis useless to allege that Web ster voted for the Compromise, and thereby gave evi dence of his recantation of 1 is Free Soil doctrines. Jlt avowed in his speeches in defence of the Compromise, both before and after its passage, that if there ever wak any danger of slavery going into New Mexico and T tali, j that he would exclude it by act of Congress, and only j forbore to do so then b< cause the VVilmot Proviso was j written by the finger of God upon every mountain and j valley in the territories. It would be no defence to President Pierce to say j and prove, as there would be no difficulty in doing, that ; Fillmore appointed Free Soilers to office. We scorn i such a defence. It is, however, a matter of reproach | to Southern journalists that they gave their support to j such an Administration, and now seek to undermine j President Pierce for following in his footsteps, as they charge, but fail to prove. Keply to the Chronicle Ar Sentinel. The evidence that the Buffalo Republic has been repudiated by the President, is found in the columns of the Washington Union , the organ of the Administra tion, where it is done without equivocation by the or gan grinder in hia editoria columns. As to the ad- | vertising patronage received by the paper, we know nothing about it, but presume no respectable paper j would publish the advertisement for the pay offered for j it by the last Congress. We have had similar patron- j age offered to us by Fillmore’s Administration. Poes ! ihis prove that Fillmore’s Administration was Demo- j erotic ? The evidence that Dix A Cos. have repudiated their j Buffalo hetesies is found first in the fact that they . voted for Franklin Pierce, the bitterest and most proscriptive enemy in the Northern States of the Bus- ■ falo politicians. Does the Chronicle £ ntincl for- j get that he organised opposition to Atwood, the Demo cratic nominee for Governor of New Hampshire, upon the ground that lie was a Buffalo politician, and suc ceeded in defeating his election ? The second ground of proof that they have repudiated their Buffalo here sies, is found in tljc fact that they have been appointed to office by Franklin Pierce, the fiercest and bitterest enemy of Buffalo heresies in the North rn States. The third piece of evidence that th*y have repudiated their Buffalo heresies is found in the fact that they are re tained in office by Franklin Pierce, who is pledged before the country to turn out of office every appointee j who will not repudiate the Buffalo heresies, aud we believe Franklin Pierce is an honest man and will stand up to his word. As to Brown, lie never was a Freezer. Now will the Chronicle Sentinel honestly an swer us a few questions? Did you not vote for a i Freesoiler for President? Did not Mr. Jenkins do | the same? How then can you honestly blame Pikuck ! for appointing Freesoilers to insignificant offices ? I - every Foreign Mission of the grade of Charge, but , one, filled by men who are opposed to both Abolitionism j and Freesoilism ? Plain answers to these few ques- I tions will, it is believed, show the hypocrisy of the Con- I st rvative party and commend the Administration of j’ President PiKRCB to the confidence of the Southern j People. Capt. Abercrombies Election—The use made of if. YVe find in the Chronicle $• Sentinel , a letter from Cniumbus, Geo., which attempts to make a very un fair use of Capt. Abercrombie’s election in the 2d Con gressional District of Ala. The writer says: ‘‘Well ihuif, Democrats of the 2d Congressional Dis* trict in Alabama. Ami is not tins election encouraging to our cause ? YY'ill the Union and Conservative Dem - j erats in Georgia be behind their rethren across tiie river, i in Alabama.in thusstandingnptothe principles of thcSouth and of the Union ? YY’ill the Union and Conservative ! Democrats in Georgia, who have been ‘kicked and cuff ed about,’ rode r-rngh-shod over, (seo YVarner, Murphy. Turnlm and others,) and who have been made to stand aside for their ‘betters.’ or for their Fire eating or Dis union brethren among the ‘re* united.’will they cring ing ly bow the knee to their would-be masters—t'K.sc who th;nk themselves ‘better’ than tin y ? And will not the great body of them ‘come out from among’ j D sunionists and supporters ot Fiee-soil and Abo lition appointments, and stand by the Georgia Platform as they and we did in 1851, when we elected | Cobh, who then professed great devotion to it ? I cannot I but believe t hey will. 1 place a higher estimate upon them i than their Fir -eating brethren or Mr. Cobb either ; for I j do not think they belong to Mr. Cobb and can be trans ferred and sold to Disuuionists like sheep and cattle, or other stock in trade, by any bargain he can make for his own individual benefit.* Km tbe first Tuesday in October Will tell.” This will he very astonishing news to many of Capt. Abercrombie’s supporters, and make them bite their lips with rage. Many of his best and most influ- ntial friends in the election were Fire-eating Democrats— disunionists of the first water—men who voted for Troup and Quitman in the last election, and hold the whole Union party in utter contempt. The county of Barbour , which the writer in another place designates as “the Democratic county of Barbour,*’ “which j brought up the rear in a handsome manner,” was originally a Whig county by from 2 to 300, and gave the “Disunionist Cochran, near 400 majority in his race with Abercrombie in 1851. It is all gammon therefore for “A Conservative Observer” to pretend to believe that the L nion Democrats gave Abercrombie bis majority. He owes his election to the influence of the Disunion’- politicians of Kulnula, who went for him in a body. The great body of the Union Democrats went for Clop ton, and stood by the Administration of 1 ierce. YY ellborn, a Union jL/emocrat, in “the Democratic county of Barbour,” was beaten by a Fire-eating Democrat, and two other Fire-eating YY higs who ran on the Soothers. Sights ticket, and a like result happened in other instances in the canvas, lu plain English, Capt. Abercrombie owes election to a coalition between the YY ebster Whigs and the “Disunion” Democracy— and any man uho strives to i make a different impression, is either grossly ignorant of the facts he comments upon or designedly misrepre- , sente them. The Scott Whigs went against him ;i> a* body. He lost about 1000 YVhig votes in Macon coun ty alone. Georgia Items. Wilkinson County.—The Democrats of YVilkinsc n have nominated Col. A. E.

The corps of Engineers left Montgomery on Satur day of last week, and have already extended their sur vey 16 miles in nearly an air line. The Pacific Railroad* The immense importance of this great work to the : commerce cf the country, to the Unioo of the Atlantic j States with those which lie west of the Rooky Moun tains, and to the protection of the Patdfie coast in time j of war, is calculated to blind the eyes of politicians, and : efface from their minds all recollection of State Rights, j Y\ r e lake it for granted-that the Road will be buHt; the ; interests involved are too large to leave any doubt upon j this point. Bui how shall it be built? That is the | only question which interests politicians. Shall it be built by the Federal Government ? or by a company incor porated by the Federal Government ? or by corpora te ns chartered by the States and Territories through j which it passes, with aid in land from the Federal ! Government as a land owner and not as a Government ? I These are tbe issues, jib no politician or party is silly i enough to commit itself or himself against bo great and ! useful and popular an enterprise. We have no hesitation in opposing the first proposi- : tion. The Federal Government is the most extrava gant contractor in America; it never can get any work done under treble its value; and it is very generally conceded every where and by every body that Uncle Sam pays more and gets less in return than any other capitalist in the new world. Furthermore, if the Gov ernment once sets to work to build so grtat a Road, the power and patronage of the President will be inde- ; finitely increased ; the game of j olitics will consequent- i ly become still more desperate and corrupting, princi- j pies will be lost sight of, the rights of the States neg- j Fend and forgotten, and the demoralization of th>- peo ple and centralization of the Government will be com pie- ! led before the work is finished. No sacrifice of pr nciple is I even now considered too great by many politicians to gain j the disposition of the present revenue of the Govern ment; ! what will not men do when this revenue will be doubled j to meet the exigencies of this stupendous undertaking? j nd again, if the Federal Government once enters upon i the work <f Internal Improvcim ms, where will it slop '! | Other stupendous enterprises will spring up, too great ! ! apparently for private enterprise, and necessary in the j j eyes of politicians, who reap from them a golden har j vest, for the defense of the country ; and when once this line of policy is entered upon, the people will be- ! 1 come the almoneis of the Government, personal inde- j { pendetice will he undermined, and there will be no | limit to public expenditure but the capacity of greedy ; I cormorants to devour it. There is no safety but in a ! | stern and unflinching denial of t he constitutional power j | of Congress to make Internal Improvements. Upon this | rock wo stand and are willing to risk the people upon i the issue. And if it be unconstitutional for Congress to build j the Road, much more will it be unconstitutional for | Congress to incorporate a company to build it. The j power to grant charters of incorporation was expressly j denied to Congress by the convention which framed it, and even if Congress had this power, it would be unsafe I ito exercise it. St;.*h a company would build up a mo- j ] nopoly so gn at and overshadowing as to be dangerous i Ito liberty As compared to the Bank of the United , | States it would be as an elephant to a mouse. There is then hut one way to build a Road to Cali j forma which is free from objections. The several i Status which desire a connection with the golden west, s j can charter companies with ample powers to hold real j j .-statesout of their limits for Railroad purposes; the i Government of the United blades can give suchcornpa | ilies the right of way through tin- Territories and such I other contributions in land for an equivalent in mail and i i other governmental finalities ; may ho d< tined expedi j tnt; and thus tecun the building of several Roads j to California in a very tew year-. YVe believe one is ; already in process of construction from St. Louis, another j is in embryo in New < Mentis, and still another in Mem phis. So that time can he no doubt but that by a lit tle patience we will bee California in contact | with YY T ashington in a very few years, and the Gov- . eminent and people be preserved from the eontamina- i ting influences which will follow in the wake of an at- : tempt to build a Road from iho Atlantic to the Pacific j by the Government. VV> confess our inability to appreciate the full force j of the argument drawn from the exposed situation of ‘ California in time of war. There is no prospect of a war, and in a Very few years the Pacific will swarrq with * pnpirhitirm ns gfwit, frt*o nod as oipatd** o‘ self-protection as we are on the Atlantic, And as we have before hinted, private enterprise will build the Road in quite as short time as Government possibly can ; The subject is so vast, that wo have only room to state propositions in respect to it, and not to argue them. This our readers wil! do, each for himself. If the immense numbers of persons who are favorable j to the Pacific Road could harmonise upon a route, we ! would have no hope of defeating this great scheme of | plunder ; but by uniting with each by turn, we can j defeat the other, and by ;; delay of a few years, wo are sure we can defeat the bill oil its merits Before then, private enterprise will push the steam car under the . base of tbe Rocky Mountains. Mr. Davis and the Pacific Railroad. YVe publish to-day an approved copy of Mr. Davis’s i address upon tho Pacific Railroad. YY T e do not under- | stand the eloquent speaker as having committed him- { self to the policy of building the road out of the funds ‘ in the Treasury. Tic admits the necessity of the road for the defence of our Pacific possessions, but pledges himself and the Administration to oppose the building j of it bv the Federal Government, if any other means ‘ can be devised to attain the same end. To this posi tion wo have no objection, as we are sure private en- I terprise is competent to the task, and will achieve it j long before Government can do so. YY’e arc surprised i that no allusion is made to this view of the subject by tin Secretary of’War, and hope that when he reviews j the ground he wil! concur with us in opinion. The ! Savannah Georgian is sound upon this as on every i other question affecting State Rights, and contains an j able article iu opposition to the Government’s building i the Road. The Democratic party is by no means com mitted to the Pacific Road. Wait till you hear from j Pierce. YY'e confide in his soundness upon this and every other question which will conic before him.

Mr. Editor: —Having attended tho commencement excr cisesat our State University, I cannot forego the pleasure ot giving you a hasty sketch of the proceedings, with some remarks upon the position the institution now holds, and what it behooves the State to do in the present onward march she is making in material and mental development. I did not reach Athens in time for the first day’s proceed ing—which consisted of a Prize Declamation by members of the Sophomore class. If I may judge, howover, from the opinions expressed by tha-e assembled, Monday’s exer cises weic by no means the least attractive of tho week On Tuesday, the Junior exhibition came off , which was quite creditable ; ndfrmore than four of the speakers, however, reached beyond a respectable exhibition of talent or train ing. These I should place in the order ot merit, as T. B. Cabaniss, of Forsyth; Subject—“ Genius of Milton.” J. B Cummin, of Augusta, ‘Chatham and Clay.” G. A. Bull, of Lagrange, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” This subject, a deli cate one for such an occa-ion, was admirably- treated, al most faultless in style and sentiment. The speaker was interrupted by frequent aoplause, which was well merited. J H. Hull, of Athens, “Burko and Webster.” This young gentleman has studied Burke but little, as he by no means did nim justice ; yet, his manner was animated, and com position good. The morning exercises were concluded by an addre-s to the Sophomore Prize Declaimers and pre sentation of Medals by Hon. Herschel V. Johnson. Tho fortunate candidates were A. Law, of Savannah, and G. W. Callaway, of Lagrange. The address was admirably suited to the occasion. The Hon. gentleman dwelt elo quently upon tlie mission of eloquence, portrayed its power in the pulpit, whore he gave its noblest fio and and most use- ful exercise. He spoke of its uses and abur-es, drew a most vivid picture of the contests of the Olympic games and physical prowess contrasted with the efforts of genius and meutal acquirements. He presented 6oinc useful thoughts upon the culture of oratory, which showed that ho bad himself paid no little attention to its avails. Hio manner and matter was highly applauded by every one. In the afternoon, Judge Campbell, of Mobile, delivered an address, bt fore the Society of the Yluinni. His subject was tiie ‘•Duties of an American Citizen.” I would that every one in this broad land could read and study it. He began with a fV-eiing allusion to the past—to the great men ot Georgia with whom it had been his good pleasure to have met ou a similar occasion 27 yearsrincc—among those he particular ly designated the venerable Troup, who then, as the speak er fc-aid, was in the meridian of his glory, who had but just emerged from a contest with the general government a ’ victorjn a cause which lias since made his name the embodi ! ment of a principle. There was uo need for rhetorical dis ; play, no room for flashes of wit nor ldlo dalliance with > the graces. Eloquence was inherent in his argument; i with a master power he elucidated clearly and logi cally the position of an Amoricau Citizen, his allegiance, i his obligations, his rights, his independence. The people, I ho placed paramount to all other source of power. The | Constitution ruled legislatures, tho people ruled the Con- j i stitution. Ilis address was eminently philosophical— not j ; us was asserted by many,metaphysical. His promisee were : i facts, his deductions principles; such a combination ot’logi- : j cal force, analytical truth and practical application, so dis j tinctly and clearly condensed as to give effect to one ruling > converging idea—tho duty of an American citizen—l will j venture to say has never been equalled by an American mind. YV*ere Judge Campbell a metaphysician, I would ; place him with Cousin—were ho a philosophical histo rian. I would rank him with Guizot, i wish space allowed 1 me to go farther | into a synopsis of this great effort. The i distinctions between .the governments of Europe, the rights ! of Roman citizenship and those t four own—these were no 1 common place illustrations, no more glancing at the out j line- < >t history, but a profound philosophical investigation | of principles. The address will of course be printed, and j I hope to sec it copied into every newspaper in tho country, i YVednesday was commencement day. The Senior Class j were about to appear lor the last time, and bid adieu to i scenes hallowed by so many recollections, and endeared by j so many interests. The orations were creditable, without | any marked ability being displayed by any. The Yraledic i lory, by Cooper, was delivered as usual. The Presi j dent concluded the exercises of the day with a practical ! address of advice and instruction to tho class, which I sup ; pose they carried with them about as far as the dinner table. However earnest and well disposed such an address may ! be, I very much question its propriety or advantage. Ad ; vice is always cheap. To be sure, coming from such a ! source as in tho present instance, it ought to be valuable ; j but after long exercises, when every one is anxious to re tire, for tnc President to read overseveral pages of sage and • serious matter “ lor guidance in future life,” is time, wasted. ; Besides, young men having attained maturity, if they have j eyes to seo and cars to hear and minds to understand will | loam for themselves how lo pursue the right and eschew ! the wrong—those who have not, all tbe advice of sages, : from Solomon dawn, will not. at ail affect them. Thirty ■j live were graduated. The degree oi Doctor of Divinity ! i was conferred upon Rev J. Shannon, and Doctor ol I I Laws upon Judge Campbell. On Thursday, J. E. Ward, Esq , of Savannah, delivered j an address before the Literary Societies ; subject—Life, j ; A boundless theme, and treated in a very discursive manner. ‘ • His stylo was entirely illustrative, skimming over the sur- i ; face of history for an instance, here and there, of battles; j won and difficulties o’ereome. Some practical hints were j thrown out, and a happily turned expression now and then j elicited applause. The speaker very properly dwelt upon • the will as the great governor ol action, and the only sure i lever of success, and occasionally wo were indulged with a i flower—but it was a common one—the rich fragrance of 1 rare exotics greeted es not at all—we strolled through a j garden but pt.rt’uri in its culture, hardly stopping to admire : a single plant. Tho exercis* n worn now closed, and the : crowd dispersed, all, doubtless, glad to get away from the | city, for tho weather was hot, and the hotel aceonunoda ; lions (?) execrable. A word, now, as-to the present condition and prospects j ot our University, and the claiips.it has upon the State Gov ! eminent. lam told that tho institution U now in a better i condition than ever heretofore, a larger patronage i ex ; tended, and a stronger interest is being manifested in i's ; progress. This is, so far, gratifying. But what is its ! ent condition ! A tolerably efficient “ Faculty,” no doubt, but what material has this Faculty to operate with 1 The j Library comprises only 10,000 volumes.* Tho departments ! of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy afford at present but ! little advantages. The apparatus is deplorably deficient. ] The lecture rooms aro mean, narrow, rough establishments | that would disgrace a respectable back woods school house. ( Prof. I>a Compt, to whose courtesy lam indebted for a ; survey of those departments, feels acutely the disadvantages j under which he labors, and indeed it is discouraging for a ! man of science to b*-. thus cramped Again, there is not the ! first element of n University. Many a respectable academy in the New England and Middle States affords advantages . equal to the University of the State of Georgia. It is in : comprehensible to me how a Board of Trustee.* can find it : in their hearts to make annual reports of the flourishing con ! dition of the institution with such facts staring them in the ! face at every turn. Tho State furnishes the pitiful sum of ! $9,000 to sustain tho College ; the remainder must be se j cured by patronage, and this patronage reduced by the half Ia score of sectarian schools, called colleges, springing up j in all parts of the State, and one incessant system of beg ging is carried on by almost every one of them. Georgia is called the “ Empire State of the South,” and her people love to repeat the phrase, but sho is wofblly deficient in educational systems. There are numbers of academies and colleges, but hot one that can claim a liigfa rank. She has progressed and is progressing in physical development, but i wo require some attention to her mental progress 1 have written candidly what 1 believe to bo tho true state I of the case as regards our University. I could not content mytu’f with the unmitigated panegyrics with which the newspapers abound in their reports of commencements, ed ucational prospects, &c. &e. By such means tho people oi the State are kupt in ignorance of the true condition of affairs, and even many of those who are constant attend ants and observers, but who have never enjoyed the oppor- ! tuuity of contrasting ours with other institutions, are induced i to believe that they really hold a high position.
