" Mr. Paley says ‘-civil liberty is the not | b*-ing restrained by any law, but what con duce*, in a greater decree, to the public i welfare.” W ere it requisite to adduce (fir- I th»r testimony, I might add, that in the only I theocracy ever established, I mean t e Jewish government. Jehov«lt. who dispensed ( law to that people, made coercive law a very j considerable part of their judicial code. A great portion o ihe coercive law of the | Jews has been formally recognised by the • Apos le,* under the gospel dispensation, which some have so far misunderstood as to t conceive it to have re'axed all moral obliga- I tion. Po'iticai liberty, is no other than the enjoyment of human rights, secured to the ‘ possessor by coercive law. it can no l inger extst, than the laws which protect it are en •fovced. Civil liberty and rational restraint ! co-exist together, they are, in fact one.— With the relaxation of just law, liberty ex pires. A true sense of liberty must, there fore, consist in a rational attacl uient to just laws. To adjust the balance of liberty, in this view* must be now an easy task. Admit* ting a constitution, in its original formation, to be a lopted in a perfect degree, to pro*c«-t the in lividual in the oossession of his just rights, vet, to direct the administration with a i impartial hand, will be difficult. The history of nations presents no example wherein the govern nem of a country has been, fur any length of time, executed wiiii unvarying attention to the laws. Either coercive law has been pushed beyond the limits of mod.-ration, and has generated op pression, or it has been relaxed, ami anarchy has ensued. Wheio-the will of an individ ual is the law. coercion will occupy a dis proportionate place. The arm of power will usurp the place of rational discussion, and coercive measures ire einployod. not to defend life, person and property, but wan tonly to ptnstrate the n at the feet of a ty rant Hut it ought also to be remembered, that when poptilai feeling ; s suffered to give a tone to til • executive power, a relaxation will ensue, which, although it prevent per son and property from filling a prey to the caprice of an absolute ruler, will be in and in ger of withdrawing general protection, and leaving these bless ags at the irmy ol every individual. This is a state of socie y more to b : dreaded than ev-u tyranny itself, ils evils are more generally felt, and it is not so capable of a speedy rein ; lv In a popular government, such as lint of the United Stales, coercive law is much more likely to be relaxed, than to bpcome more rigid. The reason is, the administra tion of this country has irjrc of an aifiuity with the sensibilities of our nature, than with ambition. And should evils result to the citizen from such measuies, and apolo gy in iv bo oil- red, which the feeling liPari will ;il ways treat with re-pect.

To one. who lias resided during the great est portion of his life, ami Ist the monotonous scenes, and in the heated aimos|ihf e o! a dull town, a thousand nameless and Hide s' rib able sensations present tin* nisei vs, when, for the first time since his boyhood, he fin is himself a t-n mt of one t.d nature's prettiest groves, and in full frnitio.’i of the sweets of Couutry Life. He look* ground upon the blended tiel-ls and forests, the ripening harvest of the one, and f«'.’e shady stillness of the other, and his bosom swells with mingled feelings of gratification and pr-de. He looks up at the smiliug heavens, dotted here and there with fi-ecv ‘ hul ls, and down upon the green grass that forms a carpet for his feet, and lie feels a genuine philanthropy expanding will,in him, such as never before warmed bis frozen heart. There areja thousand sources of pleasure peculiar to the country, and unknown to those who dwell in towns. These all spread out thn>r choicest treasures, “To him, who in ihe love of nature holds Communion with her visible forms,” ami manifests that love, by living in the midst of nature’s scenery. “They liTve the country, and none else, who seek I or their ua n sake, its silence and its shade : Delights, which, w,io would leave that has a heart S tsceptible of pity, or a ni'md Cultured and capable of sober thought.'* The Task. flic poetic associations connected with the country, are to a in in of sensibility and refluent mt, never filling fountains of pleas ure.

Where the poised lark his evening ditty chart tits And health and peace and contemplation dwell.” Ah no! there are no calm, waveless hours <d Sabbath retirement; those rhrystal founts of the oasts in the desert of life. There is indeed, no Sabbath in the town ; all is bustle, and parade-, tint! show. Car riages rattle along the street with their loads of | ride and fashion, and the conse crated house i-rich with the array of satins, and laces, and broad cloths; eras Father Perryman significantly expresses it “gaws and gew-jaws, sc-infillaliens, and corn ca tions..” Alas! it is a solemn truth, that in the crowded congregations that usually at tend I Ire church of God, in most of our towns and viilag‘B, there is too much cold heart<xl formali’y, y-.and too much ioto'/es# dissembling, for the glorious truths of the gospel to have their proper influence over the souls of men.

Mel ! iiiiiiv of that; I who have all my life bseu accustomed to dealing in dry details of business end substantial facts. In mv hours ol convalescence, after an ill-natured attack ol Fever, caught in a town, I amuse myself in reading a few favorite poems that have long loin neglected among my dusty tomes. Would you like to hear a passage in favor of the country from Thompson’s ■Seasons ? Listen, and you shall Lave it; "I-lero t»> dwells simple truth ; plain inno cence : Unsullied beauty; sound unbroken youth Patient of labour, and with little pleas'd ; Health over blooming ; unambitious toil ; Calm contemplation ; and poetic ease." ‘Nice Valour,’ is the quaint title of an old twin by Beaumont and Fletcher, which famishes me with an apt quotation. “Tin * is a beautful life now, privacy, I'he sweetness and the benefit of essence : 1 see thee is no uian but may make his par adise. And if i* nothing bu* his love and dotage Upon the world's foul joys, that keep li'tn out ou t.” Cowpcr was a true poet, though unfortu ■ nate. he ir him again, ,‘God made the country, aud man tcade the town; What wonder then, that health and virtue, gifts That can alone make sweet the bitter draught That life holds out to all, should most abound And least be threatened in thej fields and groves.” There now. I will inflict no more poetry upon you. aid your readers. Messrs. Edi tors, and 1 dare say you are glad of it; for I take it. that you arc very unpoetic men, from the faetof the entire absence of origi nal poetry from vot.r columns of late, and the paucity of your selections. Some of your readers too, I presume, would be glad to have tlLarti !e brought to a close, so that they mav go to reading tire anecdotes. So then, I will talk only a little more about the pleasures of a Country Life, taking care to wind up in a very different key from that in which I commenced, in order that the reading may suit the taste of those that have not yet been suited. Mark yc, then, a neighbouring forest af fords an abundance of Deer and Turkeys, to say nothing of Squirrefsb y the thousands; I am a pretty sure shot at game, and 1 have neighbours within sound of tire horn, who are gt all times ready to. “take a Drive.” Are vo." f'oud of hunting?

We have accused Judge McDonald with being a fkder alist in t rumple—of enter iß.aiug feelings and opinions at war with the getiins of a republican form of govern n eut, and rendering him totally unfit lor tiie Executive station to which he uow aspires. Tiie accusation is a grave one, aud we should not have luad<- ii, were it not susceptible of pi o f. and did we not believe it our duty to place that gentleur.iu in his true position before the people. Then is he a federalist? If we have not sml enough on this point already, we ask our readers to consider the following his tory of the liseand progress of parties. In the convention of 98, by which the pres ent constitution was trained, were two dis tinct classes of politicans which ought, pro perly speaking, to have been trained State Rights men and Consol'daiiniiists. 'l'he former were jealous ol tiie powers of a general government,--were afraid if its centralizing tendencies, and consequently desired to retain the old articles of con federation, with certain modifications. The Consolidation! • fs, on the other hand, eager to secure a government ofgeneral, enlarged, if not unlimited powers, plead the utter inadequacy of the articles of confederation, and desired anew constitution, aboiishhc, to a great extern, the State existences, and establishing a splendid government, h ivin" a President ami Senate elected fur hie!! In addition to these parties, was a small fraction of the convention, wlm were sty led win In-Id the ballauee ol pow er, and who were willing to have a Consti tution specifically limiting the powers of the States and United States, anil recog nizing t e frequency of elections as one of its most prominent feat tuns. Bv the aid of these, the eonsoli I itiouists, with Alexan der Hamilton at their head so fir succee ded as to pass a res dot ion declaring tiie necessity of a Federal Constitution. To rentier their success more certain, and to make it appear that they were rhe only friends of the new Constitution, they took the milder name of federalists whilst they laboured to engraft all their Intitudinariaii, if not monarchical principles upon that instrument. In this they failed, aud were consequently driven to the pitiable trick of having them vaguely inferable. Hence the contes about strict construction, and hence at the first session of Congress the Republi cans by a strenuous cfl'ort engrafted upon tiie Constitution that article which declares that “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited tc it by the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the peo ple.” From that time to the present there has in fact been but two classes of politicians in the Union, viz: Republicans and Federal ists—or strict constructionists and latitu dinarians. Now we ask a candid public to which of these classes does Judge Mc- Donald belong? Does lie appeal to the acts of his life before the public ? Gn what occasion has he been found with the Republicans either on the bench, hi the Hall, oi in the public Assem bly ! His non.crons votes men! ti e fact that fie is on the very outer verge of federal ism---a con solid alionist in spirit! He be lieves in inferred puwe s in the Constitution, and consequently in the whole train of federal doctrines. Throw down the barrier of strict construction, and you open the way lor the creation of monopolies on the part of the general goverument---you farm out the Union for works of Internal improve merit— you levy protective tariffs, and draw the substance of one section to sustain another—-you in fact, abolish the States at once, and float off into the great whirlpool of eentrnliza'ion!! We say that almost every act of Judge McDonald's public life proves him to be such a po'ittcau. We have seen him voting in fa vor of the constitutionality if a U. S. Bank, the very Institution which now for political purposes he abuses as dangerous to the liberties of the jn ople. We hare seen him vote to barter away the liberties of his Stale, by cringing serf like to the mandates of a federal court! We have known him to advocate openly the constitutionality of a Tariff', and its con sequent train of miseries to the peo ple! We have seen him the open and avowed supporter of the Proclamation aid the bloody force bill---willing to see the hireling soldiers of the general govern lent enforce its unright ous robberies by the bayonet! People of Georgia, will you have such a man as your Chief Magistrate ? He may be clever-- lie may be amiable-honest in private life : uay, he may be talented, but is it safe to promote him at the present time ? Cast your eye upon another column in this paper, an I read there his vote on the constitutionality of a Tariff, as contrasted with that of Judge Dougherty, aud ask your selves >v it kiilivs tne mut .Souther tcelings——the most Republican principle ? Remember hat Taos. H. Benton, (lining last February, in hi* pli.ee i.i the Senate declared that “t/ie very next Congress must commence remodeling the Tariff) laws!!'' Consider that all the scenes and trials of’ '32 may again be witnessed aud fell; and w hat will be your situation with a submis sionist at the bead of affairs, and a federal ist in the Executive chair of the State ? It is in vain for the selt-styled Democracy of Ihe State to attempt to palm off Judge Mc- Donald upon the people of Georgia. He is the second candidate of that party in immediate succession who has been ob noxious to the charge of federalism. They may use all their skill iu political hocus pocus, but the people have been too often deceived again to rush iuto their em brace. Sir—l was not aware, until 4 persued vour editorial of last evening, that the oppo nent* of Judge Dougherty had undertaken to charge him with hostility to Internal improvement. A few days ago, I received a letter from Clarke County, in wiiich the writer, » distinguished citizen of Georgia, speaking of tbe flattering piospects of Judge D. in that section, says‘he will loose some few votes, 1 understand, in consequence ot liis support of Mr. Gor lon’s bill to pro mote the Central Rail R .ad.’ \7ell knowing the course of Judge D. at th,*last session of the Legislature, and be ing f,.'s political and personal friend, I have taken Ov ?cas ' on tn converse with the Sena tor from .Chatham on the subject. The Senator statej* 'bat, altho’he is politically opposed to Judge Dougherty, he takes pleasure in saying, injustice so that gentle man that his whole *' rj *be last Legis lature shewed hun to be tv 1e steadfast consistent and enlightened friend of every rational scheme of Internal Improvement which was brought low ir 1 during Ibe ses " aioii.--Bavannah Republican.

L. Degratfeweid has kindly favor ed us with the ‘"ollowing letters from a citi zen of this place, now in the vicinity ofMo j bile, which give a good idea of the extent and violence of the prevailing Epidemic in I that place. The responsibility and intelli | gencc of the parties, make the authority of I the statements entirely creditable. Our suf fering felUw-eitizeus of Mobile, certainly have onr sympa’hies and earnest wishes-for a speedy release from the scourge which seeeins to have fallen so heavify upon them. Near Mobile, '2d September, 1839. Dear Sir.— As you ar» a Physician, I suppose you would like to hear something about the epidemic prevailing in Mobile I I can tell you but ii tie about it only that it i* j prevalius to an alarming degree— to a de-‘ gree hitherto unknown in the history of the city. It seems to be confined to no partic ular section of the town, nor »o any distinct class ot people. Indeed, it issoinewhat sur prising that the widest, cleanest, and most pleasant street in the city, (Government' street,i should have suffered the most. It was upon this street that Judge Hitchcock resided, and it is said not a solitary house up on that street- has escaped. But it is ad over the city, and ns progr ’ss has only been arrested by the want of subjects, so great has been I lie panic and consequent flight. In proportion to the population, there is as much sickness here a* in New Orleans. The amount of sickness here ofo»e kind and an other, is verv great, more, in fact, than all physicians can minister to, and the conges tive, seems to be equally fatal w ith the yel low, fever. Same few cases of the latter have been saved, but in most instances it h is hurried the victim to the grave with fearful rapdity. I am three miles from the water, and two and a half miles fro.n the back hoe of the city, the nearest point to which yellow fever has approached Yours, truly. Near Mobile, 5Ji September, 1839. Dear .Sir—l wrote to you a day or two since in reference to the sickness here. It is as tonisliingto see tlie| liffi-rence of opinion pre vailing among the Physicians, relative to the true character of the existing epidemic.— One says it is yellow fever—another pro nounces that he has not seen a single case of yellow fever, but that the prevailing dis ease is infinitely worse. 1 believe, however, all the Physicians view it as something greatly tn ire severe ami fatal than any of the fevers, peculiar to the climate, which they have before seen, Do not suppose that 1 exaggerate when I tell you (for my own impression is l dq not come to the reality,) thatout ofa population of eight or nine thousand, the number sup posed to be now in the city, it is estimated by those well informed, that one half arc confined with the epid-inic. Instead of forty or fifty dying iu a week, there are that many daily. I’he s< eues of distress and ruortality uow existing in (Mobile) are un ( quailed iu the history ol epidemics in mod eru limes. Dr. Fean was herethis morning, aud hesays he can point to places in Mo bile which equal any aceounts to be found of the plnguv hi ancient times. Hundred are dying for want of attendance, and Dr. F. says he was in a room yesterday where ten or twelve were dying at the same tune, and were screaming for water m the most trantic manner, and no one to hand it. The stores are closing, and Mobile lias th appearance of a suddenly deserted town There are several instances, a half dozen at le..st, of persons dropping dead in the street, and many more instances of individuals rising well m the mauling, and being shroud ed before night. You may think that I exaggerate, but from the accounts received daily Iroiii those who call occasionally, as they go in and pass out of the city. 1 am certain I (all short of the truth. Per sons residing in the summer retreats go in daily and transact their business, and come out before night, i s deem ng it unsafe to remain in town a few hours during Ihe day. 1 have n.*t been in since the day I arrived these reports IVoin town are rather too salty lor me to lisk it. There iv, too, a ereat difference of opin ion among the Physicians as to the propriety of leaving town, after having remained (hi lling. Some of them rontend that having remained this long without injury, it is bet ter to stay ib.m to change the astmosplier —lhav less risk is incurred thereby, niui i believe th:< is the opinion generally emet tamed by the medical men.

A WELL regulated and proportionate quantity of bile upon the stomach is al ways requisite for the promotion of sound health-- it stimulates digestion, and keeps the intestinal canal free from all obstructions. On the inferior surface of th? liver is a pe cuiarbladder, in w hich the bile is first pre served, being formed by the liver from the Mood. Theuce it passes into the stomach and intestines, and regulates the indiges tion. Thus wesee v. hen there is a deficien cy of Idle, the body is constantly costive. On the other hand, an overabundance of bile causes frequent nausea iuthe stomach, and often promotes very severe attacks of disease, which sometimes end in death. Fevers are always preceded by syujtnmff of a disoidered stomach; as are also scorfitlous disorders, and all sympathetic functional, organic or febrile diseases. From the same cause, the natural and heal thy action of the heart, and the whole vas cular system is impaired and reduced below its natural standard, as exhibited in pal pitations, languid pulse, torpors of the limbs, syncope, and even death itself, iu couse quence of an overabundance of a peculiar offensive substance to the digestive organs. . . *. The approach of bilious diseases is at alt times attended by decided symptoms of an existing diseased state of th« stomach aud bowels; i.c. with those signs which are known to point out their contents to be of a morbid, irritating nature; but whenever the alimentary canal happens to be loaded with ‘irritating matter, some derangement of the healthy operation, either of the general (system, or of some particular organ of the body is the certain result; and when this state happens to be united with any other symptoms of disease, its [effects are always thereby much aggravated The progress of organic obstruction is often so rapid as scarcely to admit of time for the applica tion of such aid as is to be offered by .art, yet, in general, the premonitory symptoms of gastric load are perceptible fera day or two previtus to the feverish paroxism, a period, when the most efficacious assistance may he given, by unloading the stomach ‘ and alimentary canal of its iiritating con tents, and thus reducing the susceptibili ty of disease’ MOFFAT’S LIFE (MEDICINES, should always be taken iu the early stages ol hibous coiuplaiuts; and if perse.veted in '«tri‘tiy according to the directions, will positively effect a cure. The mineral medicines ofien prescribed in these diseases, although they tnay effect a teropoiary cure at the same time create an unhealthy state of the blood, and consequently tend to promote a return of the very disease which they are employed to cure. . li is then by the useof purgative*, , exclusively formed of vegetable compound* . which, possessing within themselves no deleterious agencies, which decomposition, combination or alteration can develope or bring mto action, and therefore capable of producing no effect, save that which is desir ed— that a safe remedy i* found. The LIFE PILLS & PHCEMX BIT TERS have proved to be the most happy in their effects in cases of bilious disease , of arty purely vegetable preparation ever offer ed to the public. If the stomach is (out. they cleanse it by exciting it to throw offits contents 1 if (lot, they p:i«« to the duodenum wi bout exciting vomiting or nausea in the stomach ; stimulating the neighboring vicera, as iht liver and pancras, so as t« produce a more copious flow of tlmir secret ions into the intestines; stimulating tiie exa'ent .capillaries, terminating in j|ie inner coar, which an increased flow of the useless particles of tiie body, foreign matters, or retained secretious, are completely dfcchar— ged.
