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. "Vou are right," Georgia Nullifies, ‘ oo ahk.su, ’ your constituents are with you, and wheu your labor is done, w ill hail vou with a hearty “well done.” The Administration party at Washing ton have nominated the Hou. G. W. Jo*Es, of Va. as their candidate lor Speaker. He is What is called a thorough going Loco Foco, and consequently cannot receive the vote of any Slate Rights Sub-Treasury min; it is thought, therefore that if Mr. Dawson is put in nomination by the op position, he will be elected. “So mote it be.” In 1837 Sen ator \\ right expressed gteat joy at beiug called upon to present instruc :ions from the Legislature of New York to Mr. N. P. Tallmailge in presence of th- U. S. Senate. Would it equally delight the Hou. Senator to leceive instructions from the same Legislature in 1839, and have them read to him by Mr. Tailniadgc ? The United Status Hank of Pennsylvania, so far from being bankrupt as the Globe aud other Loco Foco organs labor to show, ac tually possesses a surplus, independent o*\ itscapilal, over and above all its liabilities, of $4,809,909 G 7. This is a kind of bankrupt cy in which the Globe, i tself, wjuld no doubt like to share. The Hank of Mobile has in circulation only 80,000 dollars, and lias in its vaults, specie to the amount of $.’59,000. Great need of suspension there. Charles F. Mercer, Ksq. member o Congress from Virginia, has received the appointment of Cashier of the Union Bank of F loriila. and it is thought, will proceed thither *o assume the duties of his office, soon alter depositing his vote in the election hu Speaker of the House of Representatives. Win. W. McCarty, Esq. of Fairfax coun ty. is recommended ;) .s the Whig candidate lo fill the vacancy. ''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, Oh'o, a short time ago, at two dollars seven ty-five cents per barrel, and no purchasers were found at that price. Pork lias been selling in this vicinity a t from . r *i to 6 cents gross, and from 6 to 7 ceuts nett. We have been visited by sever al large droves of hogs, but the people are not yet half supplied. The Louisville. Journal says, “if our Go vernment is resolved to send a regiment of dogs against the Seminoles, they must get a dog to command it; no man will do i:.” Would not a common cur, like Jesup answer lor such service ? A correspondent of the Petersburg Va. Intelligencer, writing from New York, says, “It is a noticeable fact, that in Cayuga coun ty, the V. Iluren partv succeeded by placing two avowed and notorious Abolitionists on their ticket. These are the fellows who talk of being in favor of Southern principles.” The Missouri Argus, a Benton paper ir, the city of St. Louis, lias been ftbliged 'o suspend. The reason assigned is, that hav ing ocen engaged in aiding and abetting the Bank of Missouri in her late warfare upon the interest of the citizens of St. 'Gottis, 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 doors. The population of the city of Mexico is estimated at twa hundred thousand.

Oh;! the days of ready money Are forever fled away ! There’s nothing now. but t on. Anti promises to pay; And promises to pay. that last Like snow flakes on the river: A short while rather dubious, Then gone alas! forever!

Oh! when I think of what ar. And what 1 used to was, I see I’ve thrown tnyself away, Without sufficient coz! 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. Respectfully, CAMILT A. 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.
