TIIE SHOULD BE CONGRESS.
Tlic same di«gr iceliil an<l liotons scenes
to which we referred our readers in last
week’s paper, are still gniuc on in the House
■of Rep-cseutatives ;it Washington. It will
be perceived that in order to teheve ti.ein
solves from the awkward and disagreeable
position itito which the obstauacy of the
Clerk it id thrown: them, the members have
called the Hon. John Q. Adams to the
Ciiair that they might be enabled to decide
questions which were presented to them.
O i the lltli, as reported in tile National In
telligencer of that date, they seemed to have
been in a f.ii er way for organist «tion than at
tmy lime previous, having decided that mo
ther the regularly au'hotized members from
New Jersey, nor those coming there with un
constitutional and illegal evidence of election
uud contesting the seats of the Whig mem
bers, should be suffered to participate in the
organization of the House or vote on tmy
question coming before the members prior
to their organization. On the 12th, how
ever, there was as I ttle prospect for a termi
nation of this dispute as when it first began-
Whtit will the people say to this liespe
aate and dangerous effort on the part ol the
Administration members to disfranchise tisov
oreign State of this Confederacy and deprive
her legally authorized Representatives from
taking their seats ? Will they give counte
nance to the act by continuing to shout
hosannah to the dwarfish .Magician who
stands behind the curtains and pulls the
wires in this disgraceful farce; or will they
visit tlie ai tors in the scene, and him, whom
they deiight to follow and ob”y, with the con
tempt and indignation they so justly merit,
for thus degrading the country, immolating
the Constitution and tra opting under their
feet the rights and liberties of a Lee, sove
reign and independent State ? We sh.dl
see and hope, for the honor and happiness
of our beloved country, that these disorgan
j/.ers may receive their just reward.
We perceive tiiat Georgia’s sentinels have
not slept upon their posts—standing upon the
watchtower of liberty, they have, like true
soldiers, upon the first approach of the ene
my, sounded the tocsin of alarm in a bold,
fearless and independent manner, and given
satisfactory evidence that the rights of the
people are in safe keeping whilst entrusted
to their protection. Having no connection,
in a political point of view, with the North
ern Whigs or Van Boren's menial Collar
men, they are fully prepared to do each par
ty justice. Messrs Cooper, Colquitt, Nes
bit and Black have each addressed the mem
bers on the important question before them
and taken a stand alike honorable to them
selves and the Statu they represent. We
give today the remarks of Mr. Cooper,
which are cogent and-conclusive, presenting
the matter in its true light. The speeches
of the other three gentlemen are at hand,
t»nd shall receive a place jo onr columns—
as they cannot fail to animate the breastef
any Georgian who reads them.

Dawson is put in nomination by the op

''Education is the cheap defence of Nations."
Burke.
This saying of the great British states
man has become an axiom in political sci
ence. which it well behoves those who are
legislating for the good of the people to
bear continually in mind. Forts and stand
ing armies are poor safeguards for the liber
ties of a country, when once they are as
saulted by th* treachery of pretended friends
anti the machinations of heartless and am
bitious demagogues. As Americans, we
have nothing to fear from the landing of for
eign forces on our shores, and but little to
apprehend Item a conflict with fereign na
vies on the ocean; but there is another pro
lific source of danger to the confederacy
fiOin which we have much to dread. Ex
perience has already warned us, in tones of
thunder, of an evil which threatens, at no
ver> distant day, to lay low the hopes of li
berty in this western land, and subvert the
institutions which freedom hath bequeathed
us. That evil is the prevalence of vice and
ignorance, and the declension of morality
and virtue. It is enough to make the friend
of his country weep, to witness the effects
which have occasionally been wrought al,
over the land by this potent cause. It i R
the true spirit of riot and mubocracy which
iu some of the Northern States, has s.vept
away with such fearful violence, the land
marks of society, anil trampled under fooi
the dignity of the laws, and the mild remon
strances of Christianity. It prompts to deeds
of darkness, and riots in the calamity it cre
ates. It is the fruitful source whence flow
the thousand iniquities that blacken the re
cords of our courts, and fiil with impurity,
the channels of justice. It revels in crime,
ami rushes with avidity, into scenes of de
bauchery and guilt. Its phases are as nu
merous as the sands on the sea shore.—
Sometimes it is like a lazy sea upon which
vessels may sail, without scarcely disturbing
its placid serenity ; again, it is like the dread
ed mailstroom from whose resistless whir 1
there is no escape. It is an element on
which corruption feeds, and prejudice grows
fat. It is the ladder by which aspiring de
magogues mount to power, and which sus #
tains them in their usurpation and misrule.
It is the platform whereon ambition atands
when it would stretch forth its unholy
bauds to grasp the liberties of the people
and hurl them beneath its feet. In short, i,
is the natural ally of despotism, and the
most implacable foe to the existence of civil
and religious liberty, llow important is it
then, that adequate means should be resort
ed to, for the purpose of arresting an evil
of such fearful consequence, and thus de
stroy the influence which it is exerting tip
on the destinies of the country. A Repub-'
lican government is based upon virtue and
intelligence, and where the great body of
the people is deficient in these, of course
they are incapable of self-government.—
How necessary is it, therefore, that the c 1 use
of education should be sustained and en
couraged, by tlinse to whose care is entrust
ed the welfare of the nation. Without the
fostering hand of the Legislature, no system
□( public instruction will ever succeed, and
without such a system, one which will ex
tend its benefits to all, thousands {of chil
dren will go uneducated, and grow up {fit
subjects for the demagogue's ambition and
the tyrant's rule. We have seen with pa'm,
the lethargy exhibited by the inhabitants of
this country in relation to the absorbing sub
ject of education, and wc have prophected
evil as an inevitable effect. For the sake of
freedom aud Christianity, we hope to see this
evil corrected. Popular intelligence will
not alone suffice ; there must be an improve
ment in public morals in order to carry out
the great principle of our Revolution, and
perpetuate to our lgtest posterity, the inesti
mable blessiDgs we enjoy;
1 We are indebted to our fair correspondent
| *orthe gentle hint conveyed through her
communication, and will attempt to make
amends hereafter, by frequently calling the
attention of our readers to the too much
neglec'ed subject of female education. We
are Iriends to the “rights ol woman,” and
have never yet disputed her claims to aq in
tellectual equality with our own sex ; and
we would wish to see her take that elevated
S’tand in literary matters, to which her ca
pacity and native intellect equally entitle her.
We acknowledge, with pride, the illustri
ous examples of female genius and worth, tJ
which our attention is directed, begging
leave to differ only in regard to Miss Martin
ean’s power as a political economist, jti
the department of poetry, the genius of wo
man has always shone brightest, her glowing
fancy, quick susceptibility, and ready per
ception of whatever is poetic and beautiful
admirably qualifying her for tkat peculiar
province. She has, however, in many in
stances, exhibited capacity far any line of
composition, and shown herself equal to
the most trying aud important stations iu
life. The destinies of several of the great
est kingdoms on earth have, at times been
successfully controlled by her abilities as
sovereign, aud her proses us a leader of ar.
mtes has shone conspicuously in the history
0 f more than one nation,
From a review of the various instances of
female greatness, our opinion is made up
that it only requires the general influence of
education to unfold the ssme energy and
power in the female mind, ’.hat now exhibits
i'sell in that of the male, and we have hailed
the erection of the Georgia Female College,
as the dawning of a now light that 9lnll de
velope hitherto unseen powers and beauties
in the minds of our Georgia ladies.
In relation to the proposed publication of
the Ladies' Hook, we would remark that
such a ivork is greatly needed, and if prop
erly sustained by the ladies themselves, will
not only be highly beneficial i" the actual
instruction it may be the means of impart
ing, but by inculcating a loudness for read
ing and composition in the minds of many,
whose sole enjoyment at present consists in
the pleasures ot fashion and dress. In obe
dience, therefore, lo the request of our fair
correspondent, and in cosonance with ourown
cordial wishes upon the subject, we respect
fully solicit o ir friends to subscribe for the
work, for their “wires anil daughters." We
will with pleasure forward their names.
ADVERTISING.
The benefits resulting from the practice of
advertising, arc immense. No other mode
of giving publicity to a thing, carries wi<h
it the same influence to 'he person receiving
the information. It gives an earnestness and
a plausibility to the notice sought to be ex
tended, and seems to say, • there is truth in
this thing.’ * I hear,” says one, “that H.
has oflered his plantation for sale ?" “ Alt !
says another, “how did you learn that ?”
“Why, I saw his advertisement in the pa
per." “ Thru it sreitiK he is in earnest a
bout sell ing. lam in search nf a place, and
will even go now and make him an oiler."—
Thus, a small advertisement conspicuously
inset ted in a newspaper attracts attention anil
bnyeis or sellers are found in a short space
of time where they would not have been
looked for. and where the publishers notice
would probably never have reached in any
other shape. We would say therefore to
all who have land, ni groes, merchandize or
any thing else fur sale, advertise. Nothing
is ever lost by patronizing the Printer. (Ho
says our deed )
"Dog Cheap!" One thousand batrels of
Flour were oflered for s-le at Zanesville,

A correspondent of the Petersburg Va.

of being in favor of Southern principles.”
The Missouri Argus, a Benton paper ir,

and taunting them with their supposed ina
bility to meet her demands, tits creditors of
the establishment poured in witn their kills
and clamorously demanded payment;
whereupon the Editor not being prepared
to meet his liabilities, was compelled to close

To th* Editors ofrike Mirror, .
Gentlemen— 1 »m pleased to see in your
paper, the Prospectus of a new literary
periodical to be published in Mfcon, da
signed for the benefit of Southern ladies.
It has been a matter of regret, that no at
tention lias ever been paid to the literary
claims of females in the South, until this
praiseworthy etiort on the part of those who
propose to publish the work. So far, ste
have been treated as though we had no in
terest in the great Republic of letter*, and
ns though literature and learning were io
appropria e to the sphere in which nature
has allotted us te move, ludeed, until very
recently, (and even now die opinion seems
to be entertained by{sonieuf{wist-arceßofihe
the day.) it has bceu held, that wojnen by
nature are incapable of attaining to any high
degree of literary perfection It is unneces
sary now to complain of the uiigenernus
treatment which such an ilea as this sup
poses, it is sufficient, that light lias at length
dawned upon the world in relation to the
position we ought to suitain in society.
Wciel to point you to tome of the best
writers of the age in almost etery depart
ment of literature, you wculd be constrained
to admit that the intellect of woman is as
susceptible of culture aid improvement ns
that of I lie boasted "Lord." What say
you to the poetry of th* late Mrs. Ilemans.
Alis* Landon, Alary fluwett, Mrs. Sigour
ney, Amelia B. Coppuck and others, the
music of whose harps lias rivited the atten
tion of the land ? What say you to De
Stull as a philosopher, Miss Porter anil
Lady Blessingtott as novelist. Miss Alartin
eau as a political economist, and Joanna
Baillee as a dramatist? What to Lady
Morgan, Madam Montague Mrs. Stickney
Miss Sedgwick Ac. Ac.? The considera
tion in which these are held in the literary
world, evince* that wo nan’s mind has broken
from the systematic bondage in which it was
formerly held, and soared to its native height.
Her claims in a literary sense are beginning
to receive a degree of attention which
speaks lavorably of the progressive improve
ment of the age. One step has been taken
from barbaiism to civilization by the erection
of a college w here letnaies may receive (hat
education, which the male part of creation
hav- hitherto appropriated exclusively to
themselves. Another step is now pro
posed to be taken, by (lie publication of a
work devoted to the improvement and re
finetnent of the famale inind. Will you
lend your assistance to the promotion of this
desired object? Will you not urge upon
>ll with whom you have any influence, the
propriety of subscribing for this work anil
placing it in the hands of th'tr wives aud
daughters? As friends to the “right of
Woman,” I call upon you in behalf of the
sex. to exercise yoltr iufluence in accom
plishing the success of an object, whose
tendency will be to'devatc ns iu the scale
of rational and intelligent beings.

GEORGIA AND MAINU.
The Ci)mniit*ec to whom was referred so
mud of the Governor’s Message as relates
to the controversy between tins State and
Maine, raid the persistance of the latter in
a refusal to deliver up to the authorities of
this Slate Daniel Philbrook and Edward
Kellerau,, fugitives from its justice, in lie
porting upon the same.dentnit unnecessary,
by a detailed review, to give a recapitulated
history of the facts connected therewith,
either for the purpose of imparling infor
mation upon the subject, or justify ing the
course they think proper to roconunend.
The course of the difficulty, aud its ua
ture aud circumstances, they believe, are
very generally and Judy understood. A
sufficient forbearance ha* already been
shown by this State. The arguments
clearly exhausted, and it now becomes our
duty to act, and to adopt *u~h measures as
will protect the rights of the citizens, and
vindicate the true dignity aud character of
the State.
To this end, the Committee report the
so lowing Bill :
A Bill, to be entitled an Act to regulate
•he intercourse between the citizens of the
State of Maine and this State, under cer
tain circumstances, in order the more effect
ually to guard and protect the right# and
property of the citizens of this Stale
Wheareas, the people of the State of
Maint, through their State Government, in
still refusing In cause to be delivred np
Daniel Philbrook and Edward Kellerau,
who arc charged with a crime against tile
laws of this State, and have fled from jns
ttce; taking refuge within the limits of said
Slate of Maine, is not only violative ol one
of the most important principles of the laws
of nations, by which all independent and
civilized communities, in their peaceful
intercourse, are governed, but in direct
disregard of a distinct stipulation of the
constitutional compact of the Union of the
States of this Confederacy• And whereas,
the State of Georgia has exercised all rea
sonable forbearance in seeking redress a
gariKt the rights and safely of her people,
and in trnsting to a returning sense of jus
tice end of duty on the part of the people of
Maine, which for the future seems to be un
availing and hopeless. And whereas, a
con'innance of the existing relations be
tween the two States would only leave the
property of the one a fit prey for the preda
tnry excursion* of lawless marauders, find
ing refuge and protection in the other.
Be it l.hcrcfoie enacted, tyc- [Tite Bill en
acts, That the people. citizens and inhabi
tants of the State of Maine, and persons
hereafter coming into this State front any
district or port of Maine, either as se.im°n,
mariner*, or ir any other character, shall
be deemed, held and considered as tliepub
lie enemies of this Stale, ami their persons
shall be liable to be seized and treated as
such, and their property to be found within
this State, both real and personal, shall be
subject to eonfseation.]--- Oa. Journal.
The tax bill which was presented to the
House, and which was founded on the
principles of the Financial Report, so much
approved auriflanded by the press, we be
lieve, of both parties, has-been laid on the
table; but was re-tonstdereil. and now a
gain lies on the table lor further action. It
is strange that a (rocedure so sum#&rv
should be adopted in relation to measures,
the results of a year's deliberation, by a
Committee appoiutel to this purpose by
authority of tits Legislature itself, and
which Irom its well Inown ability, would
seem to have entitled i ■ at least, to a more
respectfully consideration. We trust the
subject will not be allow'd to pass, whatever
may be the result, withent argument, and
all the deliberation it* importance demands.
The State must adopt same financial mea
sure, both for |>reserit rel es, to meet in good
faith her obligations, am to carry on the
government itself; and tie sooner the mea
sure is adopted, the better for the country.
If the Legislature does not, at this time,
provide for the obligations of the State, de
lay will but add interest to the debt, ami
render it more difficult in future to do what
all know must be done—pay her debts.
I We should like to know whaf those, who so
rashly negative this tax bill, intend to do.
iu the way of providing lor the debts of the
State, and the expenses of the government.
They ought surely to show sr better measure
for this purpose, than the tax bill propose*,
or to point out the way in Which the hscal
affair* of the State are to be conducted, and
one that rflll answer too before they de*
troy the o ly inrasure which ha* been pro
posed to e/lsct this object. Recorder.
The bill in relation to the Banks, brought
before the House by Gen. Glascock, and the
Senate by Air. Jordan, has been sent to the
tomb of the Capulets. With some amend
ment we kfere favt urably disposed towards
the bill: because we believe that by giving
a Legislative guarantee, as we considered
it virtually did, of (he soundness of the Banks
of the State, it tended to restore that con
fidence to the public mind, so essential both
to the interest* of the oanks and the people;
and because we believe the tesliictive mea
sure in regard to circulation, (luring the pe
riod of suspension a good one, ample lor
the relief of the people, quite as extensive
desired by prudent institutions, and a proper
curb on (hose disposed to fill tip the cir
culation of the country to the exclu*ion of
sounder Bauks, tegardiess of their me an* of
redemption. We are however by no means
wedded to the measure, and trnsi,
that nothing worse may be done. From
present appearances we are disposed to be
lieve, that no measure whatever will be ta
by this Legislature in relation the Banks,
but that they will be left under the present
laws bearing upon them, another year to do,
as we trust they will feel bound to do, wh it
in t her judgment may be safest for themselves
and most beneficial to tne peopls of the
State.
Since the above was written, the Senate
ha* passed Resolutions in relation to the
Banks, of whicti the following is the sub
stance :
The executive is to appoint an Investiga
ting Committee of two, to examine the con
dition of all the Bank*, and if any of them
are deemed unsound, lo apply lor an injunc
tion, and the appointment of a Receiver to
take charge of the asset*. Aud if any Bank
should refuse an inspection of its Books,
then the Executive shall issue a Free ant
ation directing its bills nut to be received
in payment of any public dues, until it shall
comply with sncl demand of the Committee.
The Executive is to report the procee
ding* of the Committee, to the next Legis-i
la! tire.— -Southern Recorder.
