SELECTING AND BREEDING
TLE.
The first sentence iu the following, from
Dickson’s Cattle Manager, contains great en
couragement for those - who wish to acquire
a refutation as breeders of our native stock.
Tiie change which is capable of being made
in any breed of animals by judicious and prop
er selection, is such as can scarcely be con
ceived, except by those who are sufficiently
experienced in tlic business, as the beneficial
consequences of it arc supposed to arise from
other causes. It is evident, that fur the pur
pose of breeding from, no arimal can be folly
depended upon, unless it be really good in it
self, and have, in addition, been quite well
bred in all the seviral stages of its ancestry.
As all (ho breeds and varieties ot animals,
while in their natural state, and before they
have undergone any of the-beneficial changes
of art, are defective in some respect or other,
and as individuals of the same breed are very
differently formed and proportioned in their
several different parts, care should be taken
to select from whole herds, llocks, or collec
tions, such only as early in.coming to perfec
tion, and have other desirable properties,
wliicit give them superiority over others in thu
views of the breeder. Then, in proceeding
with tho produce even of these parents, the
best a.id most suitable iu every respect of eaclt
sex are to bo timber selected and taken as
tho future improving stork, while the remain-
bur inferior portions are steadily to be refused
us improper; and by thus rejecting every ani
mal Mint is bad, inferior, or unfit for the
purposs, great improvement and advances to
wards perfection in the breeding of animals
may bo made.
As tho offspring that is produced by “some
mini ih is very unlike themselves,” it is “a
good precaution to try the young males with
« few females the quality of whose produce
;>as already been ascertained: as in this way,
.ad by this kind of selection, “the sort of
stock produced, and the description of females
to which they are the best adapted,” will be
(bo most certainly known, and of course the
pr: ctice afterwards will proceed in the most
perfect manner. Proper selection in breed
ing and providing male stock lins tended to
produce tho greatest improvement in every
k'tid of animals to which it lias been ap
plied.
There can he little doubt but that, by this
mod of selection in the practice of breeding,
. » rv desirable property in all kinds of ani
mals may bo promoted and improved. But
the selecting for one single property should be
av-.ided as much as possible.—New York Far

' Iivering set speeches which prevails in the
French Clmnberof Deputies, is forbidden in
the Spanish Cortes. The prohibition will ren
der the Spanish Cortes the true image ol a
Detnocratical Assembly. The artificial and
theatrical practice of preparing and conning
by note the speeclt which is perhaps to de
nounce the Minister or expose some great pub
lic grievance, can never present the idea of
men deliberating in earnest on public affairs.
We are astonished that a people so fluent in
conversation as the French are known to be,
should ever have preferred the formality aud
stiffness of the prepared harrangue to the ease
and freedom of extemporaneous speaking.—
Now, as the lively genius of the French shows
itself frequently in brilliant flashes of wit and
in sarcastic turns, the idea of elaborating an
epigram in composition, to be delivered from
the Ttibufte, or of working up an invective by
rhetorical aid, looks like inen who work too
much by artifice and trust too little to nature
and impulse. A lower standard of oratory is
to be preferred, where the words, images and
arguments are supplied by the excitement of
personal opposition, to the elaborate graces
and polished periods of a rhetorical speech.
If tho rules of an accurate taste are at times
violated by the orator, who trusts to nature in
his rough encounters with opponents in debate,
we find a compensation for this defect in the
natural vehemence and vivacity which we as
sociate public speaking. Nov, it appears to
us, that a set of public speakers who prepare
their speeches in their closets would naturally
prseut the image of an assembly of Aristocrats,
who had met under the forms of Democracy.
It looks as if men had assembled not to debate
The People’!. Rights.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
Milledgeville, 21st Nov. 1834.
There is a large mass of both public aud pri
vate business progressing in either branch of the
Legislature, but whether much of it will be
brought to a satisfactory close this session is very
uncertain. On Tuesday were elected two Se
nators in Congress of the United States ; one in
place of Mr. Forsyth, resigned, and the other
for six years from the 4th of March next, wheu
Mr. King’s term expires. Air. King was re
elected, and Mr. Alfred Cuthbert selected to fill
ing their Judges,—why, then they are incapable
of electing their representatives, and wo have
nothing to do here, ;:n<i had better go home
If they have not themselves sufficient discretion
to e/ec-t tneir Judges—why does it uot follow, as
a matte, of course, that they have no: sufficient
discretion to delegate others to do the duty f or
them ? But what are the arguments which th e
opponents of this bill will make use of? Wi||
they refer us to the Constitution ? But the Con
stitution is silent on the subject; the Constitution
gives the Legislature no right to elect the Ju.l-cs-
hut the fair inference is, that that instrument
contemplated their < lection by the people. S; r
we have been lor thirty years exercising thil
power by usurpation ; there is no grant of it j n
the Constitution. Then let goutlemen act con

power to the people, he said; were altogether
imaginary. He read an article from Air. Jtffcr-
sou’s works, showing the perfect safety of making
the people the direct electors of their responsible
officers. Now, sir, what does this great apostle
of republicanism say upon the subject; and if
gentlemeu are disposed to take that statesman
as their guide, let them act consistent, aud curry
out his principles. Let them give tho election of
Mr. Forsyth’s vacancy. There was no organized
opposition in either case, though there ere j J U(bt ' rt * as W£ B as other officers to the people;

Air. Jefferson show us. as we have already seen,
that there was a moment tn ’79, when LaFayette
took upon himself as the head of the military
forco, the entire responsibility of laying down
the basis of the Revolution. Is the cool and
bravo administration of gigantic power, a mark
of greatness ? In all the whirlwind of the Revo

with power Is the fortitude required to resist

been the chief '•f the revoluion. Is the solitary
and unaided opposition of a good citizen to tho
pretentions of an absolute ruler, whose power
was as boundless as his ambition, au effort of
greatness ? Read the letter of LaFayette to Na
polcon Bonaparte, refusing to voto for him as
Consul for life. Is the volutarv return, in ad
vancing years, to the direction of affairs, at a mo
ment like tha*. when in 1815 the ponderous ma
chinery of the French empire was flying asunder,
stunning, rending, crushing thousauds on every
side,—a mark of greatness ? Contemplate I,n-
Fayetto at tho tribuno. in Pam, when allied Eft-
rope was thundering at tho gates, and Napolean
yet stood in his desperation and at bay. Arc
dignity, propriety, cheerfulness, unerriug discre
tion in new nnd conspicuous stations of extraor
dinary delicacy, a sign of greatness ? Watch his
progress m this country in 1824 and 1825, Hear
him say the right word at tho right timo, in a se
ries of interviews, public and private, crowding-
oil each other every day, for a twelve month,
throughout the Union, with every description of
persons, without even wounding for a moment the
self love of others or forgetting tho dignity of his
own position.—Lastly, is it any proof great
ness to bo able, at tho ago of seveuty-threo to
take the lead in a successful and bloodless revolu
tion ; to change the dinasty,—to organize, exer
cise, and abdicate a military comranud of three
aud a half millionsof men:—to take up;—to per
form, and lay down the most momentous, delicate,
and peiilous duty without passion, without hurry,
without selfishness ? Is it great to disregard tho
bribes of title—office, money; to livo to labor,
and suffer lor great public ends alone;—to ad
here to principles under all circumstances;—
to stand before Europe and America conspic
uous for sixty years, in the most responsible
stations, the acknowledged admiration of all
good men ?
But I think I understand the propusitiou, that
LaFayette was not a great man. It comes from
thj same school, which also denies greatness to
Washington, and which accords it to Alexander
and Cffisnr, to Napoleon and to his Conqueror.
When Ianalyze the greatness of these distinguish
ed men, ns contrasted with that of LaFayette &
Washington, 1 find either one idea omitted
which is essential to true greatness, or one inclu
ded as essential, which belongs only to the lowest
condition of greatness. The moral, disinter
ested, and purely pariotic qualities are wholly
wanting in the greatness ofCtesar and Napoleon;
and on the other hand, it is certain splendor of
of success, a. brilliancy of result, which, with tho
majority of mankind, marks them out as the
great men of oor race. But not only are a high
morality aud a true pntrioissm essential to great
ness ;—but they must first lie renounced, but a
ruthless career of selfish conquest can begin. I

have several exciting topics on the table, and
whenever they are touched, a terrible explosion
will take place. The Cherokee question is com
posed of combustible materials, and will require
very delicate handling to prevent its bursting
forth in a blaze. Two plans for settling it are
before the Legislature. A committee have been
uamed to wait upon Judge Hooper, and request
his resignation. But this plan, it appears to me,
is altogether futile. He has sold himself to a
party nnd ho will suffer himself to be used bv
them, according to their discretion. They will
not permit his resignation. And to request him
to do so, without the power to enforce that re
quest, would only make the authors of it ridi
culous. On the other hand it is proposed to le
gislate biin into harmlessness, by confining Ins
labors to a corner of the circuit, w here he can do

Thirty years custom has made it law. It is said,
the time is come when theso elections should tie
given to the people. But, in my opinion, it will

Mr. Hardeman said he should have liked it
