Washington, .May 19th, 1835.
I have receive 1 additional confirmation of what
1 wro'e to you relative of Forsyth leaving the
State Department. I now understand that he
will not resume the duties. Woodbury is to take
his place, whoso scat in the Treasury will be fill
ed by cither Rives or Stevenson,
been here for sonic days Rives
as a means of quieting apprebn
in the Baltimore Convention, it is expected that
by trliiog the refractory delegates, that Rives is
to go into tho Treasury, less opposition will be
nndo to Johnson. It is thought that this will
quiet the Pennsylvania Wolf delegation. I am,
however not sure, hut that the opposition to John
son made, or to be made, by some one- of. the
northern delegates, is not in reality an arranged
affair, got up to have a semblance of deliberation
on the part of the Oonvcutiou. and to obviate
nliat has beeu said relative to the whole affair
being derided beforehand. I kuon well that it

If this deplorable result does take place, what
chance then will Judgo White have of success
none, whatever. What then will be as probable
a result as any? why, that Mr Clay or Mr.
Webster or John C. Calhoun will be elected Pre
sident, aud the Democratic Republican party
prostrated, probably forever; what will the
White men then think of their course? will they
not feel rather blue on such an occasion ? 1 con

About 700 shares have been subscribed in Ma-

this amounts in the aggregate to the sum of 110,

The subscription however has been wcil patron

yoriebratinii of the approaching Anniversary
* American Independence, also to appoint del-
N'» to att"i|i| tlie State convention to he held
'•illi: Igeville on the first Wednesday in Jnly;
I-'it the object of the meeting was stated by
[■'■brick H. Sanford E-sq. aud on motion. Jns.
••tucr Eiq. was called to tho Chair, and M .
| 'lcCraw was appointed Secretary. After a
f* t: sddress by tha JIou. Angus M. I). King, it
1 faulted, that three committors bo appui-
•*y the Chair, viz 1 A committee of Arrange-
:; 's. a committee to draft toasts, and a c
distinguished American citizen to the cause of
Democracy. The Clark men then, iu supporting
Air. Van Bnren do not sacrifice principle; they
do not follow this man, ho has como to them—
then let us receive him among us; wo should
indeed lie ungenerous to a fault, if we repelled
him. The Clark party was once in favour of
the pretensions of J. C. Calhoun; but assoon as
he descried its principles, it denounced him. 8o
did it deiiottncu Daniel Newnan, and so wo trust,
will it denounce Judge White—then let us he as
ready to receive a friend, as to denounce a traitor.
Wo have evidence in abundance that Judge
While is withdrawing himself from the ranks of
the Jackson f.'i.i j'i party—witness the rejoicings
of his organ paper, the Sun, at Washington, on
the occasion of the defeat of tho Republican par-
tv in Ilhudc Island in the election for a Senator,
which has just terminated in the success of a
Federal Bank Whig. Why does Judge White
through his organ give joy and congratulations
on this defeat of tho Republican party ?
Turn your attention again to Calhoun's organ,
the Telegraph of Washington—how warmly he
supports the cause of Judge While ! Can the
Clark party stomach this ? are they willing to
go in with Clay aud Calhoun and their hirelings
iu their prctcudcd support of Judge White ? For
my part, Mr. Editor, were I to tlo so, 1 should
certainly feel myself deeper in Clay aud Cnlhouu
mire, than Van Buren mud. It looks very nice
iudectl, to see tnen railing out against the incon
sistency which they say would ho manifested by
supporting V. Bnren, when at the same time
they are so very consistent as to suffer them
selves to bo led by tlteir partialities for their fa
vorite, into nil the depths of nullification, feder
alism, and bankism up to their very eyebrows,
and these Clark men too! Talk no more my
friends, about the Chirk party’s being duped into
the support of Van Buren, those who are dispos
ed to he so pen/ consistent as to follow Judge
White into such company us Calhoun, Cooper,
Clay aud Webster, because he was once friend
ly to Gen. Jackson, can do so; for my part 1 had
rather not do so. aud shall feci quite content iu
giving ray preference to a nine who is in the
gootl cause now, than one who once was.
If Judge White was disposed to suffer his name
brought, forward for the Presidency, why did he
not come our openly and independently, and say
ro the republican party. Gentlemen. I am with
you, I look to you for support, aud shall refy on
no other quarter. If Judge White had said this,
in* could have been elected President with all
cise. My humble efforts would have been exer
cised with all zeal in his behalf But what did
he do? Instead of tins bold, fearless, high-min
ded. and independent rourse, relying on tho con
fidence and support of the friends of Gen. Jack-
sou a lane, he suffers himself secretly operated
upon by .Mr. Bell, a tool of the whig*—upon the
tcsuii of which a secret caucus was held m
Washington, iu which Davy Crockett was con
cerned; Duff Green, Clay and Calhoun wore
the wire workers, and behold ! Hugh L. White
whs announced as candidate for President. All
this curtain work was attempted to be smothered
over by n precious letter from a part of the Ten
nessee delegation, who were unthoughtfully du
ped into this plot for dividing aud tieranging the
great Republican party.
We ci.miot lichevo Mr. Editor, that the Clark
men of Georgia, under thesp circumstances, can

experienced a sublimity of feeling, a melting of
heart which an exhibition of the original would
not have produced in all probability ? Whothat
has ever been thrown into a collection of splen
did specimens aud lias not found his bosom swell
with unutterable emotions ?
Perhaps being of a warm temperament, sensi
bly alive to either physical, moral, or intellectual
beauty, we may have erred in judgment iu regard
to the experience of others; aud yet we think on
reflection that it can be scarcely possible, since
wc judge from reality aud fact, and since even
reason destitute of experience would lead us uu
der its cool deduction to conclude that it must be
tfae case.
Uuder the nice and masterly touches of thepeu-
cii, nil that is unlovely becomes melted down and
lost iu tbe brighter exhibition of the peculiar grace
which bespeaks the mastery of nature, the en
thronement of spirit, the pulsation of desire, the
dominion of heart and soul ! Hence it is that the
portrait of a youthful, intelligent, graceful, and
fascinating female has done more to spread her
fame :ts a paragon of loveliness than all the ex
hibitions of Iter person in tbe court or the assem
bly ever could. IIcuco it is that the hall of the
painter is thronged by the most graceful, intelli
gent. and lovely of the sex: and hence it is, that
the same artist who looked in stoic apathy on the
bright original has afterwards falleu passionately
iu lovo with the brighter hallucination which his
art has spread before him. Hence is it that ns
regards historic painting, we find them visited to
studied by the most intelligent, learned, anti pro
found among philosophers, statesmen, heroes and
poets. They aro well acquainted with the facts
nay. perhaps they have been actors in the
scenes depicted, >r their hands may have trans
ferred th" facts to the historic page, or if it isfic-
tfou created the vision and given it a “local hab
itation and a name,” and vet hero they linger,
are spell bound, fascinated aud inspired.
It is true there is another rensuu than that al
ready assigned which has no doubt already im
pressed itself upon the minds of our readers. In
the ca«e of portraiture in which superlative love
liness is depicted, or on the other baud in the
rougher sex the strong features of tnauly wisdom
and the keu of noble flaring nre thrown forth, we
feel in omselves nothing of restraint or embar
rassment, no fear that wc iutrude on auy of the
principles of tru«* politeness, nay more, the grace
is permanent, unchanging, and as tar as art can
effect unchangeable. In historic painting, this
last mentioned circumstance is what sustains the
mighty influence upon our minds and hearts.—
The waves of mi agitated oceau are suddeuly to
permanently reduced to adamant, and wo sur
vey and resurvey its dark masses of rolling water
aud whitened foam—the dying hero is still dying
aud we gaze until we perceive the shootiugs of
his Iteai land the droppings of his blood—the stent
rush and fury and storm of haltlo is arrested aud
arrested too at ilia crisis of all it-, interest, & flcs-
tituto of all personal responsibility either to our
selves or others we contemplate until we almost
hear the shouts of the victor aud the cries of the
vanquished.
From what has been said it is evident that none
hut those of sterling talents, of genius of the high
est order, can hope to excel iu this majestic art.
The individual must paint loveliness more
lovely ; throw forth the mind, and over
his historic pieces throw an interest beyond
nil that the historian or even the poet has done—
the interesr af life, permanent yetagitated—dca'h
dying yet living—virtue iu all that is amiable—
glory in all that is bright-
One more observation ami we,hare done —
Should these reflections meet by chance (he eye
of genius—of early youthful genius, already in
love with the graphic art aud iu soul consecrated
to tho muses, let him remember that it is not c-
nough to follow nature, hs most be assisted by
art. Copley, a native of our couutry, hud never
held a wondering house of Lords around his “dy
ing Lord Chatham,” hau be not studied at Rome,
and West had never held iu tearful suspense a
wondering world before his “Crucifixiou” had he
not drank deep at the same fouutaiu of scieuce. ’

the first sign of civilization !—of a change from
savage to refiti- d life, is a license to reiail spiritu
ous liquors, and consequently to encourage vice
ami crime. Thus vice* and crimes unknown to
the savage, aro indirectly encouraged by tuir laws
aud tuleiated by oifr most virtuous citizens. It
is time a reformation was commenced- V*e
lie refore recommend to our Inferior Court, to
issue no future license, until bond aud senility
be given, iu terms of the law, to keep an orderly
House. Anri we further recommend to our Sen
ator ami Representatives in the next Legislature
to use their exertions to procure tfie passage of a
law to iuereare the tax on licences to nolless than
twenty five dollars in the country, and twice that
sum in the city of Macou. Small as is the pre
sent tax on retailers’ license, even thal, is fre

then perhaps procure a license, and by conni
vance with ihe Clerk, have it auto-dated to suit
the occasion, and thus prevent a prosecution —
Thi* practice ought not to be Icuger tolerated.
There is another subject that deserves atten-
A great many papers, among them important
records of the court &c., are not only not re
corded, but kept in a very loose and confused
state. We suggest to their Honors the Justices
of the Inferior Court, the propriety of having
the papers recorded, and that the expense of the
same be recovered out of (be securities of thclato
Clerk.
In the hands of Charles S. Lewis laic Clerk
of the Inferior Court, pro tern, we find the sum
of fifteen dollars received for licenses, and helon*-
ging to the county funds.
In examining the Treasurer’s books, we find
in his hands an unexpended balance of $716 64,
which with the sums above referred to, against
Simmons aud Lewis, amounts to $1566 93.
While on the subject of County finances, the
Grand Jury would remark, for the information
of their fellow citizens, that tbo amount neces
sary foi County purposes for the present year,

with regret, the low estimation iu which these
useful i nst it li tin tis are held, aud the ridicule, em
bracing both the teacher and the taught, often
heaped upon them: so that the term old fold
school, is made to designate every thing ineau to
contemptible. Ye*, still, it is the old field school
that lays the foundation upon which tho super
structure of education, talents and character is
built. Many of oflr best citizcus receive uo other
instruction than what is dispensed at these prim
itive seminaries. As citizens of Georgia we take
pride iu the renown of our splendid State Univer
sity, & in the talents and fame of its numerous Al
umni. We are also gratified with the prosperi
ty aud usefulness of our county academies.—
These aro uuder the fostering protection of the
Legislature, aud are liberally endowed. A fund
is also set apart for the support of poor schools.
It may be thought therefore, that enough has
beeu done for the cause of education ; that the
means adopted by our Legislators are all thatnre
necessary for the education of the rising g
ted au extra tax, which vith the,funds on band,
will amount to about $6000. But there will
still be a deficiency, and iu all probability ;i con-
slant extra tax will have -to bo resorted tO; to
meet the necessary annual expenses of the county,
unless some other plan is adopted to keep up our
numerous bridges and expensive cause ways.—
Considering the peculiar situation of the roads
iu this eouuty, aiui tiiejuiler inability of the citi
zens to keep them tip without resort to a system
of taxation that would be oppressive aud unjust,
the Grand Jury have come to the conclusion
that the public ought to contribute to the keeping
up of tho same. They therefore recommend to-
our Inferior Court to apply to the next Legisla
ture for leave to grant the erection of toll gates
uncertain roads and bridges, under such restric
tions as may be found necessary* Wc allude
particularly to the causeway on Tobesofky

education. If indeed, there is that connection

interest of the wealthy, that the poor should he

should not object to paying iu proportion to their
wealth forthe support of a district school; and this
is what we wish to see brought about. \Ve want

n« doubt. If it is objected that thin settled com
munities could not avail themselves of this sys

in some other places, of Circuit schools where
one teacher has charge of several schools, a few
miles apart, at the same time attending each al
ternately one or two days eqph week. There
are probably in this county 2000 young persons
of a suitable age to aitcud school, though not one
fourth of that number attend. If schools were
established in the manutr we propose, all could
be educated, and that at a less expense than is
