FOURTH OF JULY.—Our nation’s birth day
was celebrated in Milledgeville with the usual de
monstration of joy. The day was pleasant—and
at the usual hour, a large concourse of ladies and
gentlemen assembled in the Representative cl.am

political life, and the doctrines of the Journal, to 1 ‘ n ~ ‘
shew the discrepancy between tlieir creeds. But
as we design merely to touch on a few leading
traits of difference between the Journal, and the
great men it professes to fellow—confining our
selves more particularly to the great questions of
the present day—we pass on to Mr. Madison.
In tiie course of the last twelve months, two re
markable documents appeared, almost simultane
ously, to wit:—a letter from Mr. Madison to the
editor of the North American Review, dated, Au
gust, 16 JO—and another letter, from Gov. Troup
to the nuliifiers in Columbia, dated, 21st Sept. 1830,
—both having reference to general politics, and
more especial reference to the odious doctrine of
nullification. Of this doctrine, Mr. Madison, among
other tilings, says—“The distinguished names and
authorities which appear to have asserted and giv-
tion of Independence read in handsome style by
John Rutherlbrd, Esq.—and a neat Oration, very
aiiastely delivered, bv Augustus H. Kenan, Esq.—
At two o’clock a number of citizens partook of a
♦tinner, served up atLafavetfo Hall. We have.not
been burnished with the toust3.
Many of our fellow citizens, who did not join the
party at the Hall, repaired, after the Oration, to the
"village of Salem, and partook ol a rural fete,in which
a large number united.
The day passed off harmoniously—and we have
not heard Of anv4unpleasant occurrence worthy of
notice. We do not recollect to have seen more
than one drunken man during the day.
An occurrence took place in the Representative
Hall, which very much enlivened the scene. Dur
ing an interval in the ceremonies, the.band of mu
sic struck up a lively air. Two old seventy-sixers,
blanched by years devoted to freedom and their
♦♦ountry, were so excited by the sound, that they
•sprang into the area between the orator and the
audience, and danced us a merry duette to “auld
lung syne”—the tears streaming down tlieir cheeks,
while they shouted the feelings of" those times of
severe trial and noble daring, when they moved to
more eventful notes—exerted tlieir youthful vigor
in tlx* tented field—and flashed the fierce glance of
free lorn on the fees ofliberty!—There was some
thing!" heartfelt in it, that addressed itself to our
warmest feelings—and we cq^l not but regret, to
t»ee the overflowings of their joy, checked by the
more formal restraints of modern times.
CATECHISM. No. 2.—In some remarks on the
223d J me, in relation to the Governor’s election, we
«aid that oar opponents would piobably turn and
-attempt to rend us an l M *. Lumpkin. We. were
not false prophets. As we predicted, the Recor
der lias “gritted its teeth” horribly at us. If we had
not known that it was subject to such fits, we
might have taken it very seriously to heart—ap
prehending that our catechism had given it a kind
•>f Union-phobia, that might end in dissolution.
We 1 as we knew its habits, we determined to sit
down, and give it a severe rebuke, and endeavor
to bring it to a sense of its own exalted dignity.
We concluded, however, that we should be cutting
but a ridiculous figure, in lecturing gentlemen la
borin'.? under such a fit oi passion. We set the
thing down at last to the weakness ot our nature,
fill n.irticikir co.ist.itiithnwl irritability.—As the
first hose operated so well, and brought off so much
bile, we conclude the paroxism may have subsided
by to-day, and o ir patient lie in good time for a
secotildo.se. AVe wish to see answers to the fol
lowing. Come, Mr. Recorder, no evasions!!—
1st. What party put Mr. Gilmer into the Exe-
.eufive chair ?
•2 1. Was it not the Clark party; and has he re
cognized them as a part of the people of Georgia?
3d. Did not Mr. Gilmer, in his inaugural ad-
hat he “considered himself the Chief
tiress, say, t
Magistrate of the State, and not of a party—that
jo all the appointments it became his duty to make,
he should attempt to be governed by no other con
siderations than the public service,” &c.?
4th. How has Mr. Gilrner redeemed these pledg
ees, in distributing the patronage of his office? Has
he known any party but one, in any important ap
pointment ? Have we ever had a more jug-handled
administration in Georgia?
5th. Does not Mr. Gilmer hold that the “public
service” is best effected by a judicious distribution
of the funds of the State, and the public offices of
the State? And are these objects effected by heap
ing oilie** upon office on a few individuals?
lith. Mr. Gilmer called the last Legislature to
gether a fortnight earlier than usual: Wiiat did lie
accomplish by if?—what was done, more than to
incur an additional expense to the State, oiiauoiil
ten or twelve thousand dollars?
7:h. Why did Mr. Gilmer recommend a change
in the mode of protecting the gold mines, by re
questing the withdrawal of the U. States troops,
who protected them for us gratis, whereas it now
costs the State twenty thousand dollars a year?
8th. Why did Mr. Gilmer oppose the lotterving
of the gold mines by the following recommendation
-—“The public interest requires that the lots of
land which contain gold, should be exempted from
distribution by lottery”? (See his message to the tbe Journal changed?
Legislature) Thus we shew tnat the Journal professes to ad

respect which it might he difficult otherwise to feel
for it.” Stronger language of reprobation could
not be uttered against the ultra doctrines of the
present day, held by the Journal and others.—On
tfie other hand, Governor Troup says—“Whatever
the people of South Carolina, in convention shall
resoive lor tlieir safety, interest & happiness, will be
right, and none will have the right to question it”—
that is—if South Carolina should resolve to nullify
an act of Congress, or withdraw from the Union,
“it will be right.” This the Journal calls “sound
republican doeti ine”!! But farther—The Journal
has openly avowed itself in favor of nullification;
whereas Mr. Madison as openly disavows it.
Passing on to Mr. Monroe’s administration, it is
sufficient merely to enquire, whether the Journal
has not condemned and opposed it throughout?
whether Mr. Crawford was not put in opposition
to "Mr. Monroe, and whether the Journal has not
always advocated Crawford’s cause? Whom did
the Radicals so violently oppose?—and who has
been more devoted to them, than the Journal ? Will
the Journal inform us, what part of Mr. Monroe’s
administration it so much admires?
In coining down to General Jackson, we find
him and the Journal almost at extreme points from
each other. • In vain do we look to the past, for the
devotion of that paper to the person, or principles
of General Jackson. In 1824, and about that peri
od, our language was almost too barren of such
hard epithents as tjie Journal would apply to Jack-
son. As however, our neighbor may have deter
mined to “wipe out and begin again,” we overlook
the past, and come again to the present.
Does tiie Journal, then, support Jackson in the
principles of his administration? Let us examine.
Tiie Journal enquires—“Can we he triumphant in
tiie struggle, if we choose a man for Governor, (why
not say for President?) who believes in the consti
tutionality of the tariff?” We understand from this
part of the Text, that the Journal is pledged to op
pose every candidate, who holds the tariff to be
constitutional. Therefore it must oppose Jackson
—lor he expressly holds that it is constitutional—
see his last message to Congress. To be consis
tent therefore, the Journal must either oppose Gen.
Jackson lor this doctrine, or not oppose another
for the same doctrine—or—preach a false ser
mon from this part of “the Text.” It is infinitely
more important to oppose a President on this
ground, than a Governor ? The president has
and ability of the teacher, from the improvement
and thorough intimacy of the young ladies with
tiie branches taught. In several ot tiie higher
brandies of education, they exhibited a progress,
which at once delighted and surprised the parent,
the guardian, and the audience. There could have
been no preparation fer the espet.al occasion, as
numerous and difficult questions which were ask
ed by the auditory, were, inalmost every in
stance, promptly, correctly, and clearly answered.
Universal satisfaction was expressed, so tar as we
heard opinions on the subject. Dr. Brown’s sys
tem must be a superior one, to produce such re
sults.—We.were happy to bear witness also, to the
modest, retiring, and decorous manners ot the girls
throughout, proving that as much attention had
been paid td the morals and manners of the j-oung
ladies, as to their minds.—Their composition would
have done credit to older and more experienced
heads, and gave good evidence to the finer feelings
of their hearts.—In a word, we think the minds,
manners and virtues of the young female, cannot
he insaler keeping, than under the guidance of Dr.
Brown, and his most amiable and intelligent lady.
W e are compelled to omit the publication this
week, of the Prize List of the last drawing oi the
Masonic Hall Lottery.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.—Dr. Brown’s Es
say on the inductive method of teaching—Mr. Ju
lian’s reply to the Athenian, and “Baptist”—are un
avoidably postponed to next week. The communi
cation of our worthy correspondent, “Fort Gaines,”
we cannot insert. We have great respect for the
writer—but we think this Essay cannot produce
any good result. He will therefore pardon us for
exercising our judgment thus severely.
Caution to Planters.—It is a well known fact in
chemical science, that certain combinations of mat
ter produce a burning, called spontaneous combus
tion. The following notice of this species of com
bustion may be important to the cotton planters.
Many gin Houses, with whole crops of cotton,
havq^been destroyed by fire! and the owners have
not been able to detect the origin or cause, of the
fire. The experiments, noticed in the subjoined ar
ticle, prove that linseed oil and cotton will produce
combustion, or fire. Other oil, in conjunction with
cotton, may produce the same result: and as oil is
generally used in greasing the rollers Sic. of gins,
caution in the use of that article may prevent the
recurrence of such disasters.
Important Experiment.—The New York Daily
Liver? iser says—In cleaning the cabin of the ship Bir-
)iingham, < >n Saturday last, some cotton was used, w hich
ccame partly saturated with linseed oil, and after a
bile it. took lire. It was then determined to try an ex-
•eriment. A smal l quantity of cotton was partially dip-
ed in linseed oil, and was placed in the shade, which
ecanie ignited in two hours. The experiment was re
peated for the third time, and the result was the same,
it being two hours each time before tiie cotton took fire.

O charm, beauty ol language! in what burning splen
dors art thou chambered! Where are thy gardens on
igh, of eternal freshness and verdure; and thy halls,
other instance of its adhesion to the man, without
regard to his principles, those “democratic princi
ples,” so pompously sounded by the Journal?—
Again, the Journal is pledged to oppose all who
hold with the doctrine of internal improvement, by
the General Government. But General Jackson
has supported this doctrine for national, or general
objects, not local in their nature. The Journal op
poses it in every shape.—Again: Jackson in his
last message, informs us that the expenses of light
houses, beacons, buoys, and public piers, have been
defrayed out of the United States treasury, from
the adoption of the constitution, and that the prac
tice has continued without interruption. If our
memory fail not, the Journal some few months a no,
expressed its disapprobation of the President’s
sanction of certain bills of the last Congress Ibr
• he.se objects, in an article headed—“Disappoint
ment.”—Again: Jackson isso far opposed to nulli
fication, as to have refused to appoint a nullifier, to
office. The Journal professes itself in favor of that
odious doctrine, Nullification!—Thus we find
the Journal censuring the doctrines of Jackson on
almost every liligated constitutional question now
in agitation. What praise then is due to the Jour
nal, lor a merely nominal adhesion to the name of
Jackson?—He is popular—and there lies the secret.
Having thus briefly compared the tenets of the
Journal, with the individual creeds of these great
men, we collate their views on one or two impor
tant points. The constitutionality of the Tariff—
internal improvement or national objects, and the
expenses of light-houses, &c. have been supported
bv all the*Presidents—an.l opposed bv the Journal.

her being, and nature recognises her so. &ke belongs to
the empire of the graces; “.he fairest ornament, this huge,

part, has “grace in a!! her steps, and heaven in her eye.”

that about nine out of ten of the offices of the State,
on the civil, judicial, and monied lists, are held by
the Troup party.
We proceed to comment briefly on another para
graph of this long text, and to apply its conclusions
to the course which we understand to be pursued
Ly the Journal, as applicable to the General Gov
ernment.. That paragraph reads thus—“The prin-
eiplesof democracy, the principles which placed Jef
ferson, Madison,Monroe &. Jackson in the presiden
tial chair, have to be supported.”—Very good. But
has the Journal supported the doctrines maintained
by these sages of constitutional law ? We hold, in
politics, as we do in religion, that “faith without
works, is dead.” We therefore attach no credit
to a man, for holding a creed upon which he does
not practice.—Let us take the names in their order.
How, then, has the Journal supported the doctrines
of Mr. Jefferson, in applying those doctrines to the
politics of Georgia ? That paper has adhered to his post, so soon as the Court of Appeals of Mary-
all the heresies "of Governor Troup, and has sus- ,, ~ -J J rni ~
tained, we believe, all his acts. Mr. Jefferson, in
particular reference to the agitating questions of
the General Government, and the state of things
in Georgia, during the turbulent administration of
Governor Troup, asked the question—“Are we
then to stand to our arms with the hot-headed Geor
gian?—No.” Thus, by a brief, but pointed inter

SCOTTSBORO’ FEMALE SEMINARY.—
An examination of the young ladies of this Institu

The reputation of the school is so well known, that
our commendation can add nothing to it. W 7 e have

and her sfoiles have awakened kingdoms into existence.
Both in their effects are as powerful to the moral world,
as the whirl-wind, and the enkindled fury cf tiie elements
are to the physical.
Hie is smaller than man; her bones less solid and firm,
from being less phosphated. The geometrical forms and i
proportions of her organs are almost the very opposite to j
11 lose of his. Their relative disposition is on tiie side cf j
weakness. But what is lost in strength is gained insym- !
mefry and beauty. The primary, organic, compounds j
of her tissues are the same, but differ in quantity and j
proportion. She has less fibrine, but more lymph and fat, j
ro which she is indebted for the external perfection of
surface and colour. I shall speak elsew here of the pre
dominant development and mobility‘of her nervous sys- :
tern, which so morally distinguish her. We see, then,;
that her proportions would ruin the form of man and vice !
versa—that each has a form and perfection which is their I
own. . . \
Perhaps 20-100 of the living body is perfectly innert |
matter. It is in the fibrine, a small proportion, that es- !
sentiallv resides the power, which, when stimulated, j
moves the whole machine. Woman, therefore, possess- j
ing less of it, is less capable of motion and strength,must
sooner grow weak and feeble in exercise, and be taxable
to sustain long fatigue.
Female Gymnastics—I treat of this education first,
because it is the first, which shodld be learned. Nature
prompts, and leads the way herself in teaching it. See
•he infant in the cradle, in the nurse’s arms, gymnastica-
ting—leaping, jumping, teaching itself the various move
ments, of which its organs are susceptible.
Like the mind, so is the organism, a tabula rasa—eve
ry idea has to be acquired; every motion has to be learn
ed. Strictly, neither ideas nor motions are innate, noth
ing but the organism itself, the instrument.
The first 6 or 8 years of both sexes should be spent in
fliis education. Then the organism will have acquired
firmness enough to bew tlio shocks of the mind; and
spare the power from growtn'and nutrition, which is cx- as this visit of the Guards. Tlieir reception muff*

suming the cephalo-anemic force. Too early and too in

Females having Ices fibrine in their tissues, consequent
ly iess motility or power to be expended in action, their
exercises should not be violent, nor too. Jong continued.
From the superior symmetry of their organization, those
motions which belong to grace and elegance, will be
more easily performed by them, and with iess fatigue.
The kind of motions to he recommended are jumping,
Imping, dancing, running, equitation-,—may 1 say, swim
ming, which has hygienic advantages.
Wrestling is objectionable. It w ants grace; their bones
are too soft; its concussions would distort their symme
try. Besides, there is nothing in it, but what the other
exercises will supply.
Modus Operandi. These motions tend to expand
life which is itself expanding. They aid tiie movement
of growth, and nutrition by tending to aid the proper
distribution of the nutritive fluids, forcing them into die
joints, into the lungs, strengthening them, to the periphery,
to all parts of the body, promoting absorption of useless
fluids, equalizing, upholding the play of the functions,
unfoukiing vig..r, strength, grace, symmetry, beamy,
which poetry has immortalized, and worships in the im
age f if u Deity.
Paleness, sickliness, unnatural weakness and languish-
rnentjn woman—offspring of the corrupt thinking of the
age—strangled vitality, over which Hyg ene shed tears of
pity, and the disappointed graces, mourn, may excite the
sympathy and admiration of men, who are themselves
stinted under the despotism of fashionable opinion; but
the woman of nature fresh and full and bright with life,
will always hold her seat in the dominion of the graces;
and see lying at her feet the homage of men, tire trophies,
her charms have rightfully won.
This education ieads to, tutd prepares for that of the
mind.
Properly conducted, who knows what unknown sym
metry and gracefulness of form it might uniould. Iviaj
not the attractions of her person be improved as much as
those of her mind?
Where has this discussion conducted me! Long lost u>
the world,might not the primitive form of woman be res
tored to it again? Who would not greet her arrival.-
Snatched from the sphere of nature, has she been seen, for
many ages, but the ruin of herself? Have the children
with -which she has continued to people civilized count ries,
partook of her mutilations, and loss of perfection? Have
they too thus been removed from the sphere of nature?
Does she now appear scarcely disguised with the habili
ments of her original humanity? Does the earth now
nourish a new race unfit, dishonored, emblem of the for
mer, sprung from crime and barbarous customs,'of which
she has been the slave? And have we, through her, sliai-
tdlier misfortunes, drying up the stream of human exis
tence, before the stream of time, through which it plays,
runs dry? Finally, by enslaving her, have we sustained
another loss, which makes our losses double—the tossoi
what distinguishes us from the lower orders, of what is
our proud boast,—has the impress of the Creator’s seal,
which stamps upon us his own beauty, dropt, and passed
from our physical, as it has done from our moral consti

The light breaks from afar. We receive it with joy.
Are t r - re no useful hints, no truths to be gleaned from fa
ble, tradition, mythology] Were the first men, who were
the first, teachers of human kind, devoted only to false
hood? Did they build their stories with so much splendor
and magnificence only that they might mislead and de
ceive tlieir posterity? The sounds of the harps they form
ed have reached us, "bringing us the lessons of time.
These harps are the enduring ornaments of the species.
Let us not fling the reproach of wilful falsehood back up
on them. They only told truth in tlieir own way; and
many of tlieir stories are disgusting to our modern taste,
but were not so at the time they told. “Omnia mutat J'uga

Wild beasts multiplied with men, and from tlieir supe
rior fecundity and growth first overrun the earth. Who
were the mothers of those men, who distroyed them, and
made the earth habitable? They were women of noble,
uncontaminated birth, who lived in the green fields of
nature, breathed and took exercise in the open, fresh, air,
spent their days in action and useful industry, bathed in
uellid, running, streams, many of them huntresses. Thus
they brought into play all the springs of h.» unfoulded
and maintained the primeval symmetry and loveliness of
their sex, attained to matchless beauty; not only attracted
tae love and admiration of men, but their charms llcw
up to heaven, spread through it warm melting desires,
and disturbed its jheatifie tranquility, with sighs break
ing from the bosoms of the deathless and the happy.’' In
i Ins w r ay they enjoyed the full measure of intellectual and
organic life, made themselves worthy to impart it to oth
ers, became l lie great mothers of warriors, philosophers
and poets, were celebrated by the harps of their country,
gratitude and a sense of their worth erected altars to their
praise, and at the close of their days, immortality gather
'd around them.
The seasons with their ‘varicoloured wings’ flew over
hem, not to destroy, but untould some nascent beauty,
scatter some fresh fragrance of their life. The sweetness
>f every flower that bloomed, the charm of every law n,
the inspiration of every mountain scenery, the beauty ot
every crystal lake and stream, were theirs.. They lived,
they saw, enjoyed ail. Thus lived, or educated Alcme-
na could be the mother of a son, who dared to set up pii-
iars to the limit of things, and take the burthen of the
world from Atlas’ shoulders, to bear it upon his ow n. Thus

of the Zodiac.
Minerva sprung from the brain of Jupiter to become
1 he patroness of the arts and sciences. Her life was full
of labor. By her origin is indicated that the brain is the
instrument of thought; by her sex, that w oman is the
depository of man, the true cultivator of science, by her
labor, that man cannot be born with genius and manhood
suitable to cultivate science, without his mother have ta-
.ken exercise, improved gymnastic education. This alc-

Could I recommend this education to the women of my
century, bruised and dilapidated by the toilet, the tomb fur
modem beauty and loveliness; could such women as I have
described be persuaded to live again on the earth, how
would our aris and sciences hold festival, and jubilee the
future generations of men away!

Visit of the “ City Guards” of Boston, to Phila
delphia.—At an early hour in the morning of Satur- ,
tlav, 11th instant, a detachment of four volunteer j Richard Minter, Mrs. Elizabeth McMieiel, James B.
Mize, Dr. Francis E. Manson, Mrs. RebecchaMcCten-
companies, detailed as the “enteringescort,” march
ed for Kensington, and at half'past ff, the approach
of the steamboat, Burlington was announced; by a
discharge of twenty-four guns—in a few minutes
after, tiie boat reached the wharf, and formed in tiie
main street. They were then received in military
form by the escort, and the line of march was
taken up for the city—not, however, without much
difficulty, such was the immense throng of citizens
who lined the streets, and pressed upon them in all
directions. In Arch-street was formed a large part
of the uniform companies of the first division, com
manded by Major General T. Cadwallader, the first
brigade being under Brigadier General R, Patter
son, and the second under Brigadier General J. D.
Goodwin. The division xvas formed with the right
on Third-street. Below Third-street, Major Ge
neral Cadwallader &. suite were stationed. The
Guards and escort passed up Arch-street, paying
the usual honors to general officers, & were receiv
ed into the division between the two brigades.—
The streets through which the parade passed, xvere
crowded with lookers on, and the windows of bous
es were occupied with admirers of the scene.
Between 1 and 2 o’clock, P. M. the division ar
rived at the intersection of Broad and Market-
street, where in the south-west square, the tents of
the “ City Guards” had been pitched ; here the
guests were shown to their soldierly apartments,
and after a guard from the Philadelphia compa
nies had been detailed, the division was dismiss
ed.
In the evening, tha company visited the Walnut
street Theatre, by invitation; and on Sunday they
attended public worship at St. Paul’s Church. It
was remarked, that no event since the entrance of
La Fayette, into that city, had excited so much
ot called out such a number of citizens.
