The Address of Dr. Waddel to the young gen
tlemen who were graduated at the last Com
menr.eroe.nt of Franklin College, has bem differ
ently estimated by those who had an opportunity
Df hearing it. As it is now before the publick, it
is exposed to the ordeal of criticism, and every
oaH has a right to canvass its meriis or defects. In
the present state of publick feeling, it could hard
ly be supposed that the most finished production
of a master's pen, would be so fortunate as to es-
I cape animadversion. The principal fault which
we have heard alleged against the Address, is one
of very common occurrence, and sure to be the
first’mark of the critiok. “ His subject was
trite”—“llis address contained nothing new”—
is thought by some sufficient to condemn it, es
pecially as it came from one occupying so eleva
ted a rank as the President of Frar.kliu College.
But upon more mature reflection it may appear
somewhat new for a President on such an occa
sion to lay aside the tin-el and frippery of a fash
ionable declaimer, and in a subdued and chaste
and manly style, to draw the great landmarks of
Christianity, to point out particular and fashiona
ble vices, as the shoals on which genius and ta
lents are frequently wrecked —and with affection
ate and parental tenderness,to direct the thoughts’
of those who had been under his special care and
instruction, and who were on the eve of embark
ing upon the “ world’s wide stage,” to the Author
of their existence and the Father of their mercies.
Asa Christian Mini’ ‘er he ought not to have done
less —and we are pleased that he does not forget
bis high vocation in the hurry and parade and
bustle of a Commenccrae.nl Day. Many addres
ses on similar occasion', havse doubtless parsed off
with much more eclat. But whether they pos
secsed more solid and intrinsick worth, may with
great propriety be questioned.
A President stands in the relation of a Fathe
to his pupils. But what father, while l.is children
are ‘landing upon the threshold of his house, and
about to leave it forever, will hunt for new topicks
to play upon their fanny ? Will he not rather
guard them against the vices and follies of the
world, and teach them to bear with becoming
deference to the supreme will, the allotments of
providence, and prepare to meet him in heav
en ? If he be a Christian parent he will do it—and
a Christian President should do the same.
Cobbctt. —As it may be a matter of curiosity
with -ume of our readers to hear occasionally
from this paragon of consistency, we will just
mention that he has recently published a series
of Letters on ‘he Reformation, sbtwing, most
conclusively, thal it was “ chi ri'bed and fed hy
devastation ali i plunder,". aud that 11 this devasta
tion impoverished and degraded [y es, degraded]
the mam body .1 (he people of England !” He
proves also, by the most irresistible reasoning and
that scrupulous regard to history and truth , which
characterizes all his writings, that Monks and
Monasteries, Nuns and Nunneries, are the great
est of religious and political blessings ; and that,
England would have needed no poor-laws, if ty
ranny-and rapacity had rot abolished these indis
pensable supports of freedom and religion ! Very
: good this, Mr. Cobbettwho knows but the poor
degraded English will consent to restore the gol
den days of Popery, swear allegiance to his Holi
ness, accept from his bauds a Catholick sove
reign (we would recommend a Bourbon) build
monasteries and nunneries, and thus become as
great, and as glorious, and as enlightened as the
people of Italy and Spain, who hai e long proved
and know the cf these things.
Our friends of the Catholick Miscellany are re
publishing these Letters for the edificatlou of us
jn America, whose ancestry were so egregiously
duped by Luther, Calvin, Knox, 4c. and their
posterity left to grope about in that moral and in
tellectual darkness which pervades all countries
where this degrading Reformation has extended.

anchored under the cannon of the fortress. On
this squodrnn the intrepid Greeks threw them
selves with six fire-ships, and succeeded in burn
ing two frigates, three corvettes, five brigs of war
and a number of transports. “The Divine Pro
vidence,” adds the Bulletin, “aided us still furth

the enemy. The tire produced by this conflagra

N. Y. Obs.
At an early hour on the night of the 11th inst.,
F.lizabeth Vandergriff, of this city, was found dead
in her bed. From the evidence given before the
Coroner's Inquest the next day, it appeared, that,
on the same evening, the deceased was much in
toxicated ; and, whilst carrying a pail of water
on her head, she fell, and was taken up in a state
of insensibility, and carried home, where she was
left, in charge of a small girl, under the belief that
ebe was drunk and would soon recover. On the
return of her husband from the election, he found I
<ber a corpse, and immediately gave the alarm.j
The verdict of the jury was, “ that the deceased j
came to her death by the dislocation of her neck, |
occasioned by a fall when drunk.”

HEAD QUARTERS.
Easters Departmest, )
Indian Springs. August 16, 1825. )
Sir —l have received your Excellency’s letter >
of the 6th, post marked “ Milledgeville, Bth An- ,
gust,” acknowledging the publication of a letter
from me, the original of which you say you had !
not received. To thia I have only to say that it!
was forwarded in due time. It is doubtless known
to yon that yours of the 17th July, was published,
as it is presumed, by your authority, in a news
paper, before I replied to it—You could not there
fore feel much “ surprise” at the publication of
rny reply. I had seen with regret that for aU.
S. officer to write to you, was in fact to write for
the newspapers, and that to differ from you in
opinion, was to he denounced as an offender.
Since this was apparent to me, that is, since the
receipt of yours of the 17th July, I have been
well aware of the tax which our little differences
of opinion would impose upon me—a tax which
conscious innocence sutlers under the groundless
imputation of guilt. 1 was not therefore much
surprised at the gross misrepresentations nf your
dedimus potestatem Commissioners, nor at the
concluding paragraph of yours of the 6th, where
in you say, “ 1 have lost no time to direct you to
forbear Anther intercourse with thisgovernment.”
These expressions, like others contained in some
of your previous letters, (but of whicii I took no
notice) wherein you speak of my using the mili
tia against Georgia, &c. Sic. appear to evince a
very high degree of that prejudice, and inflated
pride of office, which might well be expected to
prompt some little European despot “ to feel pow
er atid forget right.” Were yon some little Ger
man Prince, for example, (the most self-impor
tant and overbearing of all the crowned tribe) and
Ia Turk, it would in that case excite no surprise
that the little German Prince should address the
l urk as you have more than once addressed me ;
and alter freely indulging in words of “ learned
length and thundering sound,” conclude with
the expressions above quoted, viz.: “ I have lost
no time to direct you to forbear further inter
course with this government.”
But I am pot a Turk, nor are yon a Prince ! I
am a plain native of Virginia, and an adopted
citizen of Tennessee. I am an officer of the Uni
ted States, of which Georgia is an hononred and
an honourable member—my lawful publick du
ties have called me into this State j where yield
ing due homage to her laws, and those of the Uni
ted States, 1 find myself possessed of ample privi
leges whicii depend not upon the whim or caprice
ot any individual—no, not even the Goveruour!
with whose correspondence I confess to yon, sir,
I have not been so much delighted or instructed,
as individually, to wish for its continuance. But
however unprofitable your correspondence may
be to me individually, yet the respect due to the
office you fill, will not permit me to yield to the
non-intercourse which you have without authority
presumed to “ direct.” On the contrary, sir, 1
have the right as a citizen, and the additional
right as a publick functionary, to address you :
and should my official duty require that I should
at any time address the Executive of this State,
personally, or by letter, 1 shall not fail to do that
duty with the respect due to the office and the
State over which you preside. In this State, a
in all others of the United States that I have visit
ed, I am gratified to find around me men and pat
riots, and the descendants of men and patriots,
who fought and bled (or the independence of our
country ; and who in September, 1737, in the
first paragraph of a rare and very interesting
work which 1 would recommend to your atten
tion, united witli the patriots of oilier States in
saying—“ We, the people of the United States,
in order to form a more perfect union, establish
justice, ensure domestick tranquillity, provide for
the common defence, promote the general wel
fare, and secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves, and our posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of Ameri
ca.” Among such men I cannot feel myself as a
stranger in a foreign land ! Many of these men I
am assured will do me the justice to Relieve that
the United States soldier, whose respectful com
munications of June end July last, yon answered
with official arrogance, would cheerfully seize
upon any proper occasion to-throw himself be
tween them and the fire of an invading foe ; to
save from harm the humblest citizen of the State.
Vly military command has alternately within a
few years past, extended to every State and Ter
ritory of the Republirk. I have at different times
been honoured with the acquaintance and occa
sional correspondence of more than twenty of the
state and territorial Governors, from neither of
whom except yourself and one other, have 1 ever
received any expression other than of the most
dignified, amicable, and polite kind. I have ad
dressed one and all of them, and you, in the same
heart-felt terms of that respect, which naturally
flows from an habitual devotion to the beloved
institutions of our common country, no feature of
which is in my estimation so valuable as that
which secures the just rights and privileges of the
individual States; rights and privileges defined by
the Constitution, and known laws, and not such
as depend upon the prejudice and passion
lew individuals : rights and privileges, to promote
which, is to promote the interest and honour of
the Union. With these impressions 1 have ap
proached the state authorities, not aB foreign
Princes, but a brethren of one great political
family, whose fair fame has already attracted the
admiration of every civilized country, and whose
example has led to the establishment of liberty in
South America, and promises to aid in its final
extension and permanent establishment through
out every nation of the world. Such institutions
should not be sported with. A publick officer,
resolved to act the part of a bold man, when he
has lost the character of a wise one, may some
times perhaps innocently amuse himself in at
tempts to pass off the turbulence of his thunder
ing words for force and the phrenzy of his party
zeal for fire ; but when he thus writes himselt in
to a great passion about nothing, and when he
permits himself to utter threats hi the face of such
institutions, and gravely appeals to his comrades
and “ co-workers,” arid says unto them, “ having
exhausted the argument we will stand by our
arms;” we (the people) involuntarily call to mind
the ludicrous idea of licentiousness personified in
the act of “ tweaking justice by the nose and the
babe beating the nurse”—and it becomes a grave
question to determine whether to si.ile or
or be serious at such eccentricities.
Wishing your Excellency health and respect,
I have the honour to be,

TIIE CANAL.
Extract of a Letter.
u In a late New York paper, I rtad an account
of the transporting of cannon ha!) from the fron
tier to the sea board. I find that not only are the
shot to be sent to your city, but also the cannon.
Passing the canal a few days ago, 1 saw fifteen
large guns in one boat, which were brought from
Sackets Harbour, and were on their way to New
York, —the smallest weighing upwards of 25 cwt.
and some of them weighing 65 cwt.—the whole
I weighing thirty-five tons; and the boat which
! contained them was drawn by tico horses with
ease. During the late war, I saw those guns on
their way by land, each gun drawn by six ’.orses,
which required ninety, and then the roads were
so bad, that it required twenty days or more in
their transmission. Should we ever be again in
volved in a war, yon see with what facility muni
tions of war, bic. can be transported.
“ We that come from the city, you know, must
be looking at every new object which is presented
to view in the country. The other day, my at- j
tention was called to a large beat on the canal, |
with the words “ Encyclopedia of Albany ,” on
the sides, and “ Bookstore and Stationary,” and
“ Lottery Office,” in large letters. I went on
board, and found a good sized store, in every res- j
pent fitted up for the purposes indicated by the
sign without. Shelves well stored with bonks,
drawers for paper, &o. and glass oases for fancy
aiticles. I was informed by Mr. Wilcox, the pro
prietor, that he traverses ftom one extreme to the
other of the canal, and that he finds business i
‘ tolerable good.’ ” [N. Y. Spectator. I
Adventures of a Bear. —A New Brunswick pa
per slates that in July last, a hear broke open a
window in a house in Ludlow,the family being ab
sent, entered it, destroyed about half a barrel of
pork, did .some other damage, and went out the
wav he came in. The owner being away, and
his wife, on her return next morning, finding who
bad committed the burglary, put the remainder of
the park in the cellar and again went from home.
The hear returned, broke open another window,
entered the room, broke a small chest to pieces ;
attempted to open a large chest which he knock
ed about, turned upside down, hit several large
pieces from it, also strewed a large basket of wear
ing apparel over the room, leaving nothing un
touched except the bed aud curtains (which]
stood in the room.) lie then proceeded to pay
a visit to Mr. Murphey, who lived near, broke his
milk (louse, eat several pieces of salt beef, which
being rather lean, he made use of a jar of butter;
drank three pans of milk to allay his thirst, and
then took his departure. Mr. ,M. prepared to wel
come his new guest the next evening by setting a
spring gun in the breach of the milk-house, and
Brum’s appetite prompting his return, he received
the full contents of a musket in his head.
Smuggling*— The schooner Fells Point, which
arrived at New Orleans on the Ist ui* was seized
a few days after for smuggling slaves; and the
captain, supercargo, and crew, with the excep
tion of two who made their escape, W"re arrested,
and committed to prison, to await their trial, as
were also those in whose possession the slaves
were found.
Spotted Fever. —According to a notice given by
a physician in N. Haven, there have been in that
city over one hundred cases of Spotted Fever, &
ten deaths ; but in general the disease had yield
ed to medicine.— Cent.
The same disorder has prevailed to a consider
able extent in Middeletown, Conn. Since the
first of May, more than 120 cases have been at
tended by Drs. Miner and Cone ; only ten of
which, however, proved mortal. The sickness
has now abated.
Our Colleges, in their eagerness to confer hon

A serious riot lately took place among the pas
sengers of a ship arrived at Philadelphia from Ire
land ; the parties consisting of Orangemen and
Kibbandmen, who finding themselves fairly ashore
in the “ land of liberty,” supposed they had an
undoubted right to use their shelalahs as they
pleased ; but the police officers unexpectedly
joined in tboir sport, took them into quarters for
the night, and the nex* morning broken heads
were as plenty as blackberries at the Mayor’s of
fice.
A young woman, named Betsey Rudder, has
been committed to Princess Ann jail, Va. for the
murder of her father, whom she killed with .an
iron pestle, while he was asleep. A younger sis
ter testified to the tact.
It is asserted as a fact, that the Dutch flag dis
played from the vessel which hrought out the
Dutch minister, i the fir“t national Dutch flag,
exhibited in New Vork, since it was struck 150
years ago, when the colony of New Amsterdam
was ceded to G. Britain.
The Dey of Algiers has resorted to a summary
mode of conquering the love of celibacy, by or
daining that evtry bachelor of more than 20 years
of age, shall receive at least once a day in pub

have the poor bachelors any security that they
shall not be beater, afterwards?

his name, and the means hy which he gained his
livelihood. “My name,”,replied the Preceptor,
is G— G—, and lam master of the parish." —
This answer further increased his Lordship’s cu
riosity, and he desired to know in what sense he
was master of the parish ? “ I am,” answered he
“ roaster of the children of the parish—the chil
dren are masters of the mothers, the mothers are
rulers of the fathers, and consequently I am roas
ter of the parish.” This whimsical reply produ
ced him a guinea.
Veils —The Medical Adviser says that white
veils have a tendency to increase sunbeams and
freckles. They are also very injurious to th#
eyes, and will in a short time spoil it e freshness,
and ditn the lus're ol’lhe must brdli.itit C en
