From this speech we will make an extract in order to show how the subject of education is appre ciated in Engine 1. Th ‘ speaker, after briefly narrating the origin and progress of the insti tution, continues with the following general remarks:— “Thero are som" amongst us r.nw, 1 know, who believe that the period has arrived when a great effort must be madtsto emancipate this country from the degrading thraldom of fac tion (long and continued clu-cring)—to termin ate, if possible, that extreme, that sectarian, and limited view, in which nil human conduct is examined, observed nnd criticised—to put nn end to exclusiveness, which in its peculiar self.

(Cheers.) I can recall-the name of me and the extravagant portion ot her life.- the very institution that hrings us together re- ‘.‘The lesson.” he added, “has been a bitter one, minds me of the circumstance—I can recoil, "V a monentarv point of view, but it has had its and I think I see more than one gentleman n- round me who equally can recall the hours in which he wandered amid— "Field* that cool Ilysaus laves.” At least there is my honorable friend, the mem- sphere is equally deleterious as that aristocrat- her from Stockport, who, I am sure, has a live- icnl exclusiveness of manners, which has pro- ly recollection of that classic stream, fori re duced so much evil; and, as far as I can form an opinion, these views have met with sympa thy fcom every part often country. .(Cheers.) I look upon it that to-night; I hope I am not mistake?, wo arc mot to consummate nnd to ee’ebrale the emancipation of this city, at least as far as the Athenaeum extends, from the in- lltieiice of th-'so f•eliegs. (Cheers.) I hope that our minds-and our hearts arc alike open to the trite charac’cr of this institution, to the necessities which have created it, to the bene fits to which it leads; and hnppy I shall be and all, I am sure, who are assisting me this even ing, if we prove that our ofiorts, however hum ble, may have assisted in so delightful and so desirable a consummation, fCheers.) Now, that frankly I have expressed it. that is one of the reasons, and one of the principal reasons, why 1 believed a blight seemed to have fallen over our fottnnes. I think at the same time that there is another cause that has exercised an injurious effect upon the fortunes until re cently oftliis institution. I think that a limi ted view of its real character has been taken even by those who .were inclined to view it in a spirit of extreme friendliness. It has been looked upon in the light ofa luxury, and not of si necessity—as a means of enjoyment in the hour of prosperity, from which we ought to bo debarred when the adverse moment has arrived, so that when trade was prospering, when all was sunshiny, a man might condescend to oc cupy his spare hours in some thing else than in a melancholy brooding over the state of the country-—that when returns were rapid and profits ready, one might deign Jo cultivate one’s faculties, and become acquainted with what the mind of Europe was conceiving or executing, but these were delights to be reser ved only for those chosen hours. Now that, I am bound frankly to say, is not the view which I take of this question; not the idea which I have formed of the real character of the Man chester Athenaeum. 1 look upon it as part of that edttcaFonal movement which is the noble and ennobling characteris’ic of the age in which we live. (Cheers.) Viewing it in that light, 1 cannot consent myself that it should be sup ported hy fits and starts. The impulse which hns given us that movement is one that may be traced to an age that mav now be consider ed remote, though the swell of the watets hns hut reached our own shore. Heretofore socie ty was established necessarily on a very differ ent principle to that which is now its basis.— As civilization has gradually progressed it hns equalled the physical qualities of man. In stead of the strong arm, it is the strong head that v* now the moving principle of society.— (Cheers ) You have disenthroned farce, and placed on her high scat intelligence—(loud cheers)—and the necessary consequence of this great revolution is, that it has become the duty and the delight equally of every c : tizen to cultivate his faculties. The prince of all philo sophy 1ms told you, in an immortal apophegm, so familiar to you all that it is writ'on now iu your halls and cfiambers, “Knowledge is pow er.” Ifthatmcniorntde passage had been pe rused by the student who first announced this discovery of that groat man to society, he would have found an oracle not less striking, nnd in rny mind certainly not less true, for Lord Bacon has not only said that “knowledge is power,” hut, fiv : ng one century after the discovery of the printing press, he has also an nounced to the world i hat “knowledge is plea sure.” (Cheers.) Why, when tbc great bo dy of mankind had become familiar with this great discovery—when they learned that a new source was opened to them of influence and en joyment, is it wonderful that from that hour the heart of nations has palpitated with the desire member one of the most effective nllusiins he made to it in one oftho most admirable speech es I ever listened to. (Cheers.) But, notwith standing his allusion, I would still appeal to the poetry of his constitution, and T know it abounds in that quality. (A laugh.) f am sure that lie could not have lookod without e- motion on that immortal spene. I still can re member that olive crowned plain, that sunset crag, that citadel fane of ineffable beauty.— That was a brilliant civilization developed by a gifted race, mere than two thousand years aeo, at a time when the ancestors of the man ufacturers of Manchester who uow clothe the world, were themselves covered with skins, and tattooed like red men of the wilderness.— But influence more powerful even than the aw ful lapse of time separate nnd distinguish you from that race.

If he will take up the subject, we shall ^ have some hope of its being generally discussed j and listened to. In a future number we shall endeavour ’o sketch some of the causes, which may operate favorably on the planting interests, if planters are not recklessly unmindful of the suhjpcts of this number. But without attention to these, all incidental causes & remits which might benefit us, will be hopeless.

If the Tariff laws arc not so adjmted and reduced, as to admit of a freer interchange of articles of foreign production, for our raw ma terial, the demand from abroad, must remain stationary or decline, and wilh it the price of course will go down. It is now for planters to weigh these consid erations well, they are not idle abstractions, but stern realities, that stare us in the face and threaten ruin. Will they be so short-sighted, as to continue to plant such largo crops, with the certainty of the consequences ? Will they still receive their ideas, of the baleful effects of the unequal tariff laws, second-hand, from po- l tical huckst’erers' who know little and care less about their consequences upon us; and go on treating it, as merely a subject for party capital, while it is insidiously curtailing the de mand for their staple, and otherwise taking from them in an indirect, but certain manner, tits profits of their labor ? Let them do so for a few years, and Cotton must inevitably, fall to a price at which we cannot afford to raise, it, and our lands nnd negroes become so much worth less property, nay, they will be on expense on our hands. But are we so infatuated? Will not every intelligent planter now, see that his only course is to plant less Cotton, nnd explain to his neigh bors the necessity lor their doing so, in order that they may be able to live in future years, by planting; in order that their property may remain valuable? If every man who jiow plants one hundred acres in Cotton, would plant only seventy five, what an effect it would have on tho price another year. He would receive as much for the smaller crop, as for the larger, nnd leave the market in such a state, as to en able him to get a good price for future crops. And will not men engaged in producing Cotton, speak to their Representatives in Congress, in a voice of authority, and demand a modification of the iniquitous Tariff law of 1812, under which the South is growing? The newly e- lected Chief Magistrate, and. a ma ority in the popular branch of Congress, stand committed by all their opinions and profusions, to do us justice in that respect. We will brook no time serving or truckling from them. The question must be met. And of the Senate, where the opposition will have probably, a ma jority of barely one; will he, a Southern man, clothed with his Senatorial robes by the Cotton growers of Georgia, dare to vote for riveting the manacles of vassalnge, tho very collar of serfdom, on his constituents? Or rather will them in immolating their favorite candidate, perhaps he will consent to write another to op erate on the elections of 1848, for their especial use. ' Look out for Tour lloms- For several wieks past we hav i ho rn satis fied that there is an organized band for the stealing of Horses. Mules, &c. in this section of the State. Several have been stolen in, or the vicinity of this City—generally below the place on the Perry road-—in I several have also been Stolen in the unp -r part of Houston county. How extensive their operations have been, we are not aware—but we have heard of several valuable animals being taken; ami we believe none recovered except a pair of Mules. These were found by. a servant, throe or four miles below the City, in the river swamp, and reported by him to be in possession of runaway negroes, who probably had white accomplices. We think it good reason that a sharp look out should be kept, not only for the an'ma ! s, but for all suspicious characters that infest the com munity.—Macon Messenger, 28/A ult.

Departed this life in Monroe county, Gi. on the Ilthinst. Mn. CAROLINE SUSAN TYLER, -onsort of Wm. P. Tyler and daughter of Douiphio and Pressilla Floyd, in the Twentieth year of her age—leaviug a husband, an in- fantchild. and many friends and relatives to mourn (heir irreparable loss. The deceased was born of highly respectable pareats. who taught her, both by precept and example, the ’ love of virtue and the christain religion—her whole life from her infancy up, was marked with uniformity and uprightness, endearing herself to all with whom she was associated ; though the was a stranger and an alien from God. until a- bnut 18 months ago, (under the preachings and instructions of the Rev. Mr. Smith, a respectable and worthy divine of Monroe county.) ahe was brought to believe that the sinner must be bom again, and never rested until she found him. of .whom Moses and the prophets-did write Jesus Christ the Son of God, precious to her never dying soul. It is sorrowful thus to record the death of one called from the dearest associations in the prime of life and useful ness, o( one of the excellencies of whose character so bril liantly shown in all the different relations of life, which she sustained.—Naturally unobtrusive and re iring in her character, those only who were intimate with iter could ap preciate her worth. During her illness, (which was protracted to 6 weeks,) the graces of the christain. shone with peculiar brightness her trust in christ was constant—the promises of the Gospel her support-and as a cansequence, her peace flowed as a river increasing, as eternity drew near. Just before her death, seeing her mother and friends weeping, she addressed them thus: "Weep not for me Heaven is my home. Oh 1 mother, do not grieve you esn- not stand it,” and with an angelic smile, repeated “Heaven! Heaven 1ami when ahe could recover strength enough to speak, she would shoot praises to the Lamb that bought her with hit bood, and exort her friends to meet her in Heaven I She took her brother by the hand, and with a look and smile thjt cannot be forgotten said she, "oh, Brother, Hea ven I Heaven 1!
