They adhere rigidly to all their habits and eostnmes, and preserve their dis tinct political organisations, even though the ad ministration party throughout the country has labored insidiously to entice and allure them in to their organisation. The foreigners refuse to disband, and, hy so doing are enabled to, and do, dictate terms to the administration party. Victory is valueless to them, unless they share the spoils and plunder, and the on ly sure means of securing this division is to present themselves in one solid body and demand of their, allies—-the administration party—an equal share. The past history of our country is replete with sneh bargains between the foreign population and the progressive Democracy, and the history of the present ad ministration furnishes numerous illustrations ,ef that fulfilment of such contracts and bargains.

It was an appeal in behalf of the Union, and n denunciation of the doctrines set forth In the late treasonable speech of W. H. Seward. He eomes down Up on that demagogue In s burst of manly. Indig nant eloquence. His contrast of Seward and Webster Is most striking. Bat the reptile, who is traekiag his sinuous way in slime to the high places of the earth, feels ne sense of •home or loferiority even when he looks upon the eagle sailing in mid heaven and' battling fearlessly with the storm. It is to be hoped that the efforts of Mr. Choate and kindred spirits throughout the North will arrest the mad wave of fonatictsm and sectionalism, and save the Union. Certainly, the North has more peenni ary interest in the preservation of the Union than the 8outh, and therefore every Northern statesman, from loyalty to his own section, as well as for love of the common country, should fight against dissolution.—Richmond Dispatch. Study.—There are two methods of study; the one is the studying an author, the other may be called studying a subject In the for mer ease the student purposes to make himself master of the whole contents of a book; he dili gently peraess it and becomes familiar with the style and language and the sentiments of the writer. By the other method, he follows op any particular branch of knowledge through all the books in which it may be fonnd;searcb- es in them for every passage that is to bis pur pose, and collects everywhere the scarttered particles of information. Of these two methods of seeking knowledge, the first is mnch to bo preferred. By dilligently fixing the mind upon one hook at a time, the intellectual faculties in the three branches of apprehension, attention, and memory, are exereised, disciplined, and im proved; whereas by the other practice, when a subject is panned by the help of indexes through a Inaltitude of authors, and writers are consulted only as hooks of reference, a superficial discursive habit of study grows upon the mind, and the stud ent will be so far from improving the three facul ties above mentioned, that be is in danger of impairing them. And no man of letters can safoly trust himself with this plan of study, till be shall, have first diligently wrought into his mind firm habits of accurate attention by long pntotiee of the other.- Cm ve Painter DoorjSates for Public Houses Mall Street WISDOM HAIL Lf.VE From Romo to La Fay- t Hickory,Summerville and Try- Leaves'Rome Tuesdays and Friday at 6 o’clock, A.

The last Southerner holds out the crimson colored flag—war is announced, and wo aro notified that the terms of peaoe heretofore re cognised are withdrawn. From charitable oon siderations you have withheld your vengeance and wrathful indignation, long pent op with its pointed arrows steeped in wormwood and gall; which are note to bo hurled at what you are pleased to regard as a downtrodden foe. Mag. naaicous indeed, thus to treat one who in your opinion is already prostrate. Bot I will arise and brash the dost off my sandals and dip my pen in liquid dye, in defence of the cause of my country. In your attacks upon my rights yon have caused my tongue to otter hard Words) and may yet learn my hands unwillingly to go to war. Bat, before I do this let me examine the eanse of this complaint that forced yon to this declaration; tainted as it is with sulphu rous fames. “ They are set forth in the reso lution adopted by the county meeting held at the court house last Tuesday.” The first and perhaps the most grievous eanse of complaint is that the American Party, “manifest an un yielding purpose to get control of the State and Federal Governments” in order “to foist upon this country Federal principles.” This then is the eanse of. my offence; and for whleh I am to ho arraigned before the bar of public opinion La answer to this charge, whilst I have no ex cuse to offer, mast plead guilty and demand a trial. I know, that they are qdloue to many ; yet this shall not deter me from advocating principles which Iconceive to be right Yon may in obedience to this prejudice desire their destruction; I, upon the contrary, wish to see them perpetuated. We will therefore, at the proper time endeavor to withstand those “lusty Mows” with which you threaten us and ward them off as best I may. Let however, the house be “set in order” before we take a voy age in search of those odious Fedoral Princi ples. At this,present time my attention is drawn to the acts and doings of the Legislature of the State of Georgia. We wish to know the condition of her finances—the amonnt of burden whieh the people will have to bear for the next two years—to learn something more about her Rail Roads—amount of capital invested in the then it maybe treated as an independent work. It was, boyoad all question, the intention of the projectors of the work, so long as it re mained in’ the hands of the State, to effibftrte both those objects. First to make it a paying road and sooond to extend commercial foeiUtits to those who were by natare debared easy acoeii to commercial ports as woH as to benefit the Stale at large. It haa accomplished all these ends save that of making it a profit to tbo State. To 'facilitate this ohjoet the schedule of freights should be regulated as per mile without discrimination in favor of those who Uve beyond the State to the injury of those who reside within her borders.*-. This does not exolnde snob discriminations as wUl have a ten dency to develop the resources of tho8tateand adds to its general prosperity. Bat brf* cAn the toad be removed from tbo political arena!. The Governor does not specify. There propositions are alludod to—some say 1 lease it; others say plaee it under the control of aommtasionors oleotod by the people ; while others desire that it should be sold. Expe rience has sufficiently demonstrated that it never haa been a source of profit to the State. Ib the message before ns we infer from the language used that the people will have to he •taxed again to meet the “largo liabilities of the Western A Atlantic Rail Road*” The Gover nor was “looking” at those “ liabilities” when he penned this paragraph, and declared that tax ation ahonld famish the revenue, to meet the heavy demands that will stature in 1856. To relieve the people from this burden wo advo cate tbo sale of the road. Lot the Legislature affix a price upon tbo toad—Let books be open ed in different counties of the State, and when the stock shall have been taken, let a transfer be made to the company. ■ * Relative to granting State aid generally to Rail Road Companies its wisdom may be ques tioned. . That it should not entirely withhold assistance is obvious. For this would evince an improper spirit towards enterprise. Such works as are of Manifest importance, being main trunks designed to lead to commercial marts, should, If necessary, receive State aid; not, however, to the disparagement of her credit; or to involve her interest permanently with individual enterprise. This course of policy while it will sufficiently foster works of internal improvements will- at the-Same time without undue “stimulation” give them a “judi cious direction.” In the cause of education all ahould feel a lively-interest. As “ it promotes public peace gives security to property, diminishes crime, and hastens the march of civilisation,” so it should receive the attention of our greatest statesmen. Viewed in this light, the-money judiciously expended in its cause, is justifiable upon the score of political economy. A “spe cific” plan should be matured before the rising of the Legislature. Of the multitude of sug gestions no system would meet the means of the State better than that of free schools based upon the normal plan. Ia the recent election upon-the removal ques- ’ tion.it is not a “fair construction” to say “that the popnlar will is overwhelmingly opposed to removal.” Here are my figures for saying so; there are 101,250 voters in the State as polled at the last election; 80,326 voted upon this qnestion; 49,781 voted “no removal;” 34,545 by declaring that for “ourselves wo have not boen accustomed to make oounty officers the gift of party for meritorious services, but our oppo* neats bate dared 0| to the coo tost for party su- protpacy.” For principles and merit wo will raffle^witb this editor. A challenge now is accepted—weapon! of warfare chosen—the field of eombat determined on and this valient knight of the goose quill shall record the fesult. He blows his trumpet calling Upon his cohorts to stand by his candidates "like men,” for he U going to "pitch into Nicodentus.” The strings are to be tightly drawa-roo quarter (a to bo given to political opponents—a war of exter mination is resolved upon. This being the ease well may we enter the contest doilbtingly with a few sling of troth, however, we hope to pro* vail in at least quieting the rage of this frothy editor* Therefore, let every true American put on his armor—renew his exertions, and with a heart glowing with patriotic zeal, “up*. bold the hand” whieli guides the pen in the eanse of troth. [By request] Republican American Liberty.— The Right of Americans to Self Government.—By George 8. Bryan.—The Americans, though fond of speculation and political metaphysics, are yet at bot tom an eminently practical and sober peo ple. With them liberty and the eXereisa of the right of self government are practieal and sober realities. They and their fathers have had a stern and costly schooling, in these high and solemn matters. By a toilsome progress, by slow steps, by patient wolf denial, by the re* attaints of severe religious faiths, by the tri umphs of the closet even more than by the bloody achievement of the. battle field ; by de 1 foating powerful enemies, and stilt more by conquering themtetoesy they have teamed to hi free l they have won and .earned the right and proved their fitness for self government?, they Mr. nave planted deep the foundations and reared high the walls on the only Republic on earth; and shall they not believe; and insist, that (hey alono have the absolute right and are fitteetto maintain the Work of their own bands ? “Died Yesterday.”—Every day is written fn this little sentence: “Died yetterdsjr, so and so.” Every day a flower is plncked from some sunny home—a breach made in some , happy circle—-a jewel stolen from some treasury of lore. Each day from the summer fields of life, some sentirel foils from bis post, and thrown from the ramparts of time into the surging waters of eternity* Even as we write, the fu neral of one who “ died yesterday,” winds like s shadow along the street. “Died yesterday.”". Who died? Perhaps it was a gentle babe, sinless as an angel-pnre as the Zephyr’s hymn—one' whose laugh was as the g«sb of summer’s rills lottoring in a bower of rososr-wbotie little life was a perpetual litany, a-May time crowned' with the passion flowers that never fistic. Or mayhap it was a youth, hopeful and generous^—a snrpent Iurkieg un derneath—one whose sonl'panted after com munion with- the greatand good, and reaefaed forth with earnest straggle for the guerdon in the distance. But that heart of his is still how, for “he died yesterday/* “Died yesterday." A young girl pure as the orange flowers that elapsed her forehead, was sttikeo down, as she stood at the alter; and from the doll sissies of the temple, she was borne to the “garden of the slnmberers.”— A tali, brown man, girt with the halo of vieto- ry, and the day's close under bis own vine and fig tree, fell in the dost, even as the, an* them trembled upon bis lips; and he, too, was laid “where the rode forefathers of the hamlet sleep.” An aged pstrUeb bqwed with age andeare even as he lookod upon the distanthills for the. coming of the angel host, sank info a dream less slumber; and on bis door post next day, was written “ Died yesterday.” “Died yesterday." Daily, men, women and children ore passing away, and hourly in tome graveyard the soil Is Hong apoo the dead. As often at the morn we find some flower that blushed sweetly as the eon set, has withered np So dafly, when we rise from tbo hiv- to stand against onr posts, wo miss some brother soldier whose ebeery cry in the sieges and straggles of the psttjba* been as fire from Heaven upon our hearts. . y.n«h day tome pearl .'drops from tiio jewelled thread' of friendship— some lyre 1 to which we have been wont to listen—hashes*!

By reference to this doonmont we find that for the last two years the sum of $1,012,881- 25 cents have been received into the State Treasury. This sum includes both ordinary and extraordinary sources of revenue. The aggregate sum of $182,627 embraces the extra ordinary and of this amount $150,000 is set down to (be credit of the Western A Atlantic Rail Road. For the ordinary source* of Reve nue we hare the sum of $930,244 03 cents, and the disbursements for the same period amounted to $946,828 97 cents, showing a de ficit of $16,630 9 cents, according to my arith metic instead of $16,730 94 cents as we 6nd it in the message. Of tbe merits of the docu ment we have hot little to say except that it is remarkable for its length suggestive of specu lative plans with but few specific recommen dations. It will be ray pupose to speak not only 1 of those topics alluded to in the message, but of others not embraeed iU it which should In tbe present issue I nan but glance at tbe various subjeete without entering into their in* triaiie merit by argument. We will therefore only allude to somo of the most important sub jects brought to tbo consideration pf tbu Legis lature. One of them is what shall ba the prop er disposition of tho Western A Atlantic Kail Road. The Governor is fhvorably inotined to its being removed beyond, the political arena. ! In this we agree. Jlow or iuwhat mitnner shall I this he done ho. does not Apeotfy'.' “IF,” say* .the message, you design U to.ba a paying we have the sum or 58,445; which is a major ity of the whole voting population. Had the places as specified by the Resolution of the last Legislature been adhered to in the casting of the.vote and these 23,900 been added to tbo number of voters upon- this question, the pop ular voice would have been more clearly oscer- tamed. As tiie vote stands there is a reason able doubt as to what is the popular sentiment. Let “a decisive action bo made,” and a “qtile- tus” be put “ to the farther agitation of the subject.” If Milledgevillo should he. deter mined upon instead of repairing the old dilap* idated buildings lot us have a house that will be an ornament to the State and equal to tbe position which she occupies in the confederacy of States. Atlanta is the most central to the voting population and the most accessible point in the State. . ' The 7 per eent. should be repealed, and the contracting parties agree upon the rate per cent. This will place mony upon tbe same condition with property which it represents and subjects to tike fluctuation. The Governors more lengthy upon our Fed eral relations than any one subjeet embraced in tbe message. As we must necessarily be brief, we wiU sitnply say| that when tbe people of Kansas makes, application for admission into the Union and is rejected on account of slavery being incorporated into her constitution as a lost resort we hope to see tbe people of tbe South united: upon the 4. resolutions. But Kan sas is already tetiAin the Union and needs no unworthy expulsion, for upon the exercise of tbe volition of hor own mil she exhibits sov ereignty. If she is determined to dress herself ip the habiliments of sovereignty, let her de cide for herself, the-position she will take, and it will be tbe bounden duty of all to abide by that decision. - ■—* * January Elections.—Both parties have now made thoir nomination for County officers. Tho race is made up. While the rivalqhip for success is going on, we hope it will bo aonducted io a generous emulating spirit and the best feelings Nsw State.—A new starts likely soon to he added to the American constellation. The Leg islature of Michigan has passed an act provid ing for the new State or Territory of Superior. Michigan gives part and Wisconsin another part to the new Commonwealth, which Is the seat of the great mmeralwealth of the nation.. Its mines of copper and iron are nnsurpassed hy any in the world, and is destined to be one of the most interesting, wealthy and important por tions of the Union. - Tan “ Rolthg Passion.”-—A young lady writes thus ingeniously and anonymously in the columns of a newspaper: For my own part, I confess that the desire of my heart, and my constant prayer Is, that I may be blessed with a good and affectionate husband, and.that.I may be a good and affec tionate wife and mother. Should I bo denitd this. I hope for grace to resign myself—Sat it wiU be a hard trial for me. - Let the fact be graven on. the .heart of every iatiro-born American, and the AeanTog'of the fact-bo Weighed and felt by every native and adopted citizen, and America is the only land, wheredhe right and proet tee of self government in tbelr fullest sense exist. Even in Great Britian, the freest country in the World, .next to our own, a hereditary monareb. and a hered itary House of Lords, hold partial sway, and tbo .great bulk of her people are. shut oat altogether from the right of self government— the republican right of choosing their own rulers and making their own laws, by representatives chosen by themselves. Republican liberty— the fact and experience of self government—no where exist on the Continent... Europe, in all her divisions, hss paased under despotic spav. Liberty, the right of self government, is through put a!! her borders, but a fond dream,' a vain speculation,.an idolised hope, cherished io secret bat like tbe Dove sent out from the Ark,, finds no spot of Earth, no rock above the Flood of Despotism, whereon to rest her foot, and fluid her. weary wing.

Solitary among the nations, no kindred light keeps company with our own glorious con stellation ; we are tbe only Republic left to testify for freedom. Tbe Art or Bbino Agreeable.—The true art of being agreeable is to appear well pleased with all tbo company, and rather to seem Well entertained with them, than to bring entertain-' ment to them. A man thus disposed, perhaps may not have much learning, nor any wit, but if he has common-sense and something friendly in'his' behavior, it coneilates men’s minds more than the brightest parts without this disposition ; and when a man of snob a turn eomes to old age, he isalmost sure to be treated with respect. It is true; indeet f that we should not dissemble when in company ; bill A man may be very agreeable, striotly consistent with truth and slnoeriiy, by a prudent silenee where he cannot eonenr, and a pleasing assent where he ean. Now and then you meat with a person so exactly formed to please, that he will gain upon every one* that hears or beholds him; this disposition it not merely the gift of nature* but frequently the effeot of much knowledge of the world; and a command over tbe passions.
