o the site of the new sphere, as a political pi'ot—and seems to have been spared,
in the mercy nf Providence, to direct us through the tem
pest that ragis on the political ocean. Mr. Madison not
only assisted in framing, but was-a most able expositor of
that instrument, at the time of its adoption. He has iliere-
f.-Ke given ns the true principles of the constitution, as
thev were then understood. He was also engaged in
jects, or obtain those considerations for which the con-

JJfL J, * bMract, J« •• » wholesome truth—it admits, that
Rtecannot, “as it pleases,*’ construe the Constitu-
ion and i, the very doctrine we maintain. But, ta-
k m connection with what goes before and follows it
I completely eU f s the throat of the whole nf the rest of
fie Journafte argument. That paper assumes the po
st ion that-tne Constitution has been violated by ama-
jori'V ofthe States—that therefore Wny other State has
a right to declnre'it violated, and withdraw from the
compact but immediately denies this very Doctrine,
by saying— 1 “if a parly to a contract can construe its
stipulations as it. pleases, the other parfy is injured,”and
the objecls of the contract defeated. In one part of the
arguniint, it give? to one single State, the right which it
denies to belong to thirteen of the 24 States. In one
part °f the argument, one pariy may construe and net for
its, if—in anotherpart ofthe argument, one parly cannot
construe for itself because, that would defeat the ends of
the contract and injure the ether part'/. Positions so nb-
3iird show their onn absurdity-—and prove how difft-
cult it is to mainlai-i one error, without running into
another.

Let the people preserve this letter a? a sacred relic, and
keep it along side of WAsiiiNaTON’s Farewell.
Signs of better times.—We have been informed by
good authority, that Governor Troup’s letter to the ATtf-
lifiers of South Carolina, lias been charged upon us as a
fabrication of our own, to deceive ihe people—and that
pains have been taken i.iaCirlain “wealthy and intelli
gent county,” to deny its genuineness We like this.—
We like in find that Governor Troup’s doctrines arc be
coming so repugnant t.i the good se„3e of his furnier ad
vocates, that they are driven to deny them. We have
always believed that when excitement had a little subsid
ed in Georgia, the. deyelopcmenl of Governor Trcup’s doc
trines would convince many of his friends of their dange
rous tendency. W e invite our accusers to investigate
this subject. We do not wish tb< m to tuke our word for
ii. As the medicine operates so well, we refer them for
a second dose, to ti e Geo gia Journal ol the 9th instant,
where they will find the same letter—and to that Paper
of the iCth inst., where they will find a supply of warm
water, to work ,45'the < in tic, entitled, “sound refcb
mean doctrines.” It would afford us pleasure to put
into their hands the Columbia Telescope, in which this
letter was first published, and from which we extracted
it. But as the state of the system might net bear both
“the tartar and the cpicac”—we wil!, in mercy, recom
mend but one >-ore at a lime.
Jlprcrpos.—In the Federal Ur.fon of the Dth inst., we
published Troup’s letter with a few hasty comments.—
Since that time we have beard great wonUerir,cnt.expres
sed that we should have seen any thing in it that snvored
of nullifiea*i;.w. Wc ourselves have marvelled not a lit-
iie at the sc^p'icism of these our friends—for such we
cslrr rn some of Hum, in the walks of private life. If Hi
de d there be no nullification in that letter, there is some
thing (if possible) 'infinitely worse than that “abomina
tion of desolation” that nas dared to walk at nooh-tLy.
Wh.it i« nullification? It is the declaration by an indi
vidual Slate (we use the current meani g of the dav,)
that an ael of Congr. ssis null and void within tnat S'.ate.
and this upon the judgment of the State alone. Now
what is Troup’s doctrine contained in this lettei? Le!
us hear it.—“Whateverthe pf-oplc ot South Carolina in
convention mny resolve for their safety, interest, and hap-
uincs?, ’rill he right.-' On! no, that can’t be. Troup
never said so. But he did. See the Georgia Journal of

fire olJllhcns—Wc serioifdy regret to record the de
struction of the new College Edifice »t Athens, with tbe
library, tipparatus £ce. This calamity calls upon our Le
gislature for lioer ,litv in their appropriations for this In
stitution. A disposition has been lately manifested to
place the College above the unfortunate suspicions to
which it has been long subjected. As our Legislators
are constitutionally bound to support a University, wc
sincerely hope that this heavy calamity will afford an op
portunity (or the exercise of all that unanimity offeeling
and purpose which the interests of literature end science,
and the credit of cur domestic Institutions so loudly call
for. T lie general difiosion of Knowledge is as import
ant to the support of republican principles, as the vital
air is to the support of physical existence. Let all preju
dices and prepossessions be done ewav -let Franklin
College, become the University of Georgia, in which nil*
will take delight. No occasion can offer itself more fa
vorable than Ihe present for tbe consummation of an ob
ject so desirable. Should this happy result be the effect,
the loss may be regarded as a gain in the end.
It is not to be disguised that the gentlemen of the
Troup party of the last session, defcatrclthe contempla
ted appropriation. We do not sav this in the spir
it of unkindness. Tbe recent conflagration shews the
impolicy of that opposition. The Univerity belongs to
the State—it ought to be cherished as a Slate Institution
—the predominancy of party should be disregarded. We
venture to sa v that the gentlemen of the Clark party
throughout the State have at heart the intrrefts of science
and learning, as deeply as their opponents—and when
ever they reuse to be disfranchised from her Halls, their
antagonists will find among them more Duncan G. Camp
bells, if not in efficiency—at lest in disposition. Let us
then go into the support of Franklin r oil ge like Freemen
and follow citizens—appropriating freely onr ample re
sources to ber nourishment—vying with eacli other for
her honor and celebrity, and participating equally and
fairly in ber benefits and distinctions. Having studied
them all we dn ii"t recollect ever to have seen the name
of Clack end Troup, in Virgil, Horace or Euclid—and we
are sure they are notin the Constitution.

should lake into bis office more than three students. But
it so happened that the celebrity of Parsons, Ihen a prac
tising lawyer in Essex, had gained him more than his due
share, and he was accused before the bar of having five
students. He denied the charge; hut it being clearly
proved that there wete in his office five young gentlemen

* TO THE PUBLIC.
Faculty of Franklin College would respectfully
-H- notify the parents r r d Guardians ef the Studefits,
that the conflagration of aie new building however seri
ous, will r.’bt interfere in tht^ smallest degree with the i
regular dutie s of the College. The course of instruc
tion will not be affected, as every accommodation will be
readv for the stuccrts by the 1st January. The Library
has it is true been deetdjyd ; hut we feci confident from
the munificence of the Legislature, that the loss will be
so far repaired, by the opening of the next terra, as to
prevent any injury arising from its destruction. Tbe
Mathematical instruments eon be easily replaced. The
fine Philosophical Apparatus and Chemical instruments
are iiniujured, and consequently full instruction in the
higher classes can he givpn.
As to tbe personal accommodation of the j n nng men,
no difficulty w»l| exist, us the old building hitherto de
voted to tbe residence of the two lower classes, is unin
jured, and will consequently contain all who now com
pose those classes, or Who may come by the coromenee-
ir.ent of the next term. The upper classes will be ac
commodated, with lodging and study r.oms in private
families or the boarding bouses in town, and that without
additional charge until the College building shall be repair
ed.
The Faculty therefore trust, attd with full confidence,
that the credit of the Institution Mrith the Public, will
not he impaired, and that the patronage of its friends
will not be dirr inished. The Faculty therefore confide in
the return of all the students by the first of January
next, to resume their regular duties. «

To the ITonorahfe Legislature of Georgia.
In the science of legislation it has always been consid
ered a pamr.ourft obligation, to promote, not only the
physical force, bnt the moral condition of the country.
This is tbe grard end nnd aim of every community—Il is
a familiar proposition that the strength of a nation main
ly resides in the virtue of the p:ople. These thoughts
were forced upon niv mind when contemplating the pre
sent worse than useless, not to say disgraceful, condition
of‘he Militia system of our State—I mean chiefly the
militia law of the sto’e, which, if it were deficient to the
extent only, of not improving, or affording tbe m» ans of
improvement, of the military in discipline, noghtpass un
noticed. But it occupic-9 no such neutral ground: for
while it encourages nothing that is right, surely nothing
that is patriotic, it accomplishes much that is wrong.—
tVhi’e the system fails to afford any, the least instruction
: n order or discipline, it calls men from their daily h .si
ns??, end presents, and of course fa in ilia rises to their
view, every variety erf vice and fo!ly. The uresent law
requires the commander in chief to order one parade, by
Regiments, annually; the Brigadier General, one; the
Colonel, on»; the Major’s of Battallions, one, and the
Captains of Companies not less than four, nor more than
six parades annually. Here then are ten days consumed
by the militia of every county every year. And now let
it ho asked wh it good has ever.yet been done by this mode
of training? By this n.ean3 men aie trained indeed, but
to n very different exercise from that which enables them
to defend their country in the hour of dnnger. The au
thor of this article ha? tier n long in the habit of eommand-
irtrthe militia, nnd believes that if the present system be
an evil, a remedy might he found in the encampment and
exercise of militia for 5 days together, at some convenient
season of the ye3r, and discharging them from further du
ty for twelve months. Less lime would he consumed by
ohe half, in This way, than i- now done, and the instruc
tion in tactic? would be much m'-rc rorrrctly given and

Extract from the Richmond Enquirer.
“And now mark this extraordinary fact! The friends
or the last Administration boasted of its Diplomacy—
Mr. Adams had been bred at the feet of Gamaliel. He
had spent the gieatcr part of his political life in the di
plomatic line, cither as Foreign Minister, or as Secretai}
of tatc—His Secretary of State had been Minister at
Ghent, and assisted afterwards in a negociation at Lon
don. Their representatives at the Court of Loydon.
were Mr. Rufus Xing, u wteran in the diplomatic School,
Mr. Gallatin, gne ofthe ablest Statesmen in the United
States, who had served bis degrees at the Courts cf
France—and Jtfv. Rnrbourl—Now, by these schooled
principles and Agents, what miracles of Diplomacy were
atchu ved! They got up the farce of the Panama Mission,
at much expense and embellishment—and we all know
nhat a ridiculous catastrophe that splendid humbug pro
duced. They attempted to make .a treaty with Turkey,
and they failed! They soinrht idemnity from France—
and they failed! They suffered the West India Trade to
slip through their fingers; aud they sent two special
v i??lons to recover it—and ihey failed again, all their
diplomacy failed; and never were the foreign relation? of
the United States so overcast nnd discomfited, a* they
were during the Inst mad and miserable Administration.
“And now behold‘he reverse of all this! when they
had.handed their wrecked asset.? over to the present Ad-
mini«tration, their nartiians raised a shout of ridicule at
the contrast thev depicted.—The President had never
’• -cn in a diplomatic station in hi9 whole life, except in
patching up some petty treaty wiih an Indian tribe. ^ Hfo
Secretary had not learnt his A, B, and C s in tne Alpha
bet—Not a member in tbe Cabinet had served in a single
1 diplomatic station—'and Louis M’Lnnenadno lore or ex-
nfikc > Unfon7*ind create such otkeA ^erience to jecommend him.—But mark the superiority
; e . it choose to adopt. Bull see of frank doe ling, strong common *rnsc, and an honest
' g t - ■ e<al in tbe public service. M’Lnne has recovered the
trade, which orhers fo«T, nnd upon the some terms,
which had been twice offered, and twice refused to them.
Rive? had every prospect of makirg a satisfactory arrange
ment wifh the late Ministry, within ten or fourteen Any*
of the late Revolution. Wc have obtained heavy claims
from Colombia, Denmark and Portugal—and Rhind has
not only opened the D^rdnrelic? and Black Sea to our
VP c?rU bnt ha? procured for us the privileges of the most
favored nation, in all the ports of the Turkish Empire.
“No wonder the partiaans of the coalition are piqued
and are chafed bevopd measure.—But chafed and morti
be, no man «hou!d sacrifice the duties ot
and deny the benefits
