iy well educated person can be found
'lThis of Christian light, to deny the evi-
Vnccs of Christianity. Alas forjtoor human
' on ; what a wayward child of circum
stance, and habit, and prejudice it is!
What is truth ? asked Pilate, and did not
staV for an answer.”
Indeed what is truth, and what is reason,
w hen we see in this ease, on one hand, the de
je-idant who is evidently of sound mind and
memory, learned, well read, and capable of
discrimination, denying the truths of Chnsti
aiiity, which seems like a man with his eyes
ooen denying that the sun shines in broad day,
_Lnnd on the other hand, three eminent sages
and judges of the law, as conscicncious and
inright,” as they are profound and learned,
coming to the conclusion, after four years ot
investigation, that the provision in the Consti
tution which protects the citizen “in his reli
gious professions and sentiments,” docs not
protect him in any professions or sentiments
which the court may deem irreligious.
In the 19th century the world is called on to
beliold the spectacle of a citizen, who, if he is
an atheist, should he pitied as we would pity a
blind man, hauled before the highest tribunal
in the State to be imprisoned for saying that
one sect of Christians believe in a God which
lie does not.
a Vain legislation, vainer punishment! The
soul (says Bancroft) by its freedom and Im
mortality, preserves its convictions or its fren
zies, oven amidst the threats of death.
This unhappy proceeding will go on. The
defendant will oe sent to prison and made a
martyr. The sentence has been postponed
from'humane considerations, the defendant’s
wife being in a delicate situat ion to be separa
led from her husband. We respect the mo
tives that governed this delay, but it is not in
the spirit of the law the Court insist on execu
ting. Ifit is wise in law gi vcrs to enact, and
judges to execute, laws to punish infidels for
thinking, surely it would b<? wise to prevent
any more coming into the world, inc ex
pected young infidel in Kneel; mu’s turn ’.v, will
probably have to be burnt tit the st dee by
some future Court when will
have become enlightened enough to rekindle
the fires of Smithfieid. Burning or hanging
men and women, is the only way to prevent
their thinking in dungeons, and as this is ex
pounded by the luw officer to be the nun ot the
law against blasphemy, it would certainly lie
better to destroy a young infidel in his birth,
than to let him grow up, and have to hang or
burn him hereafter. Surely, then, if sending
Knecland to prison now would as lie hinted,
have proved fatal in his family to mo*her and
child, it would have been the l>esi possible mode
;of checking the spread of infidelity in his do
mestic circle.
We do not intend to be mistaken in this
honest expression of the grief, and shame, and
humiliation, with which we beheld the specta
cle, that struck hundreds, us it did u-j, with
! pity, sorrow, and amazement - There stood a
venerable looking man, nearly seventy years
of age, declaring that the only crime ho ever
remembered to have committed, was taking
an apple when a boy, (and no man denies it,)
at the same time averring, that lie did behove
in a (foil but not in such a C Tod as the Univer
salists believe in ; affirming his conscientious 1
conviction of right in what he had done and
[said, and his inability to believe otherwise, —
disclaiming all intention to of lend others in the
enjoyment of the freedom of opinion he claim
ed for himself, and vet about to be sent to pris
on for this simple sentence, the meaning of
which depends on a comma.

ErrflAfcTS FROM A TOEM IX MANUSCRIPT.
THE UNBALANCED MIND.
“In youth’s gay morn when life’s first passions play,
Imagination leads us all astray—
We overrate our power,we fondly press
On to the race, not doubting of success;
We scorn the lessons which bur Fathers teach,
Wealth, Honor, Pleasures seem within our reach:
Senates our eloquence shall list’ning wait,
Each youth would be a Webster in debate !
We fail—we fall—our limbs all mangled lie
Because—the vain balloon went np too high ! !
If thou wilt deign the middle path to tread-,
If thou will be by modest Prudence led,
Listen! she speaks in accents soft and kind.
She, she will teach thee how to bless mankind ;
She knows the art Ambition’s wounds to cure.
She ventures little, but her voyage is sure;
No spectacle is lier’s —no sparkling blaze—
She asks for approbation more than praise.
Hail lovely nymph ! fair Prudence! at thy shrine
I kneel, and make thy lasting blessings mine.”
“’Tis sad to see, ’tis curious still to view
How all that pleases man is most untrue !
Truth still a tyrant to his hopes he finds,
Deception is the bliss of fervid minds;
To each extreme, ’tis true our minds may go,
Life we may raise toO high, or sink too low-:
In our career whatever path vve choose,
The same confusion reigns through all our views;
Contentions meet us if abroad we roam,
And fears, and sorrows trouble us at home 1
At sea tho waves of danger round us roar,
And we must labor if we keep the shore;
If rich, wo tremble list our riches lice,
And who can bear thy frown, oh ! Poverty !
Children, our fondest idols, prove a curse,
Wedlock is bad, but solitude is worse !
In youth on passion’s whirling winds we’re blown,
And age to most is one long dismal groan :
Thus those once born have but this boon to crave.
The shortest passage to the earliest grave ’.
Choose any path in life, the equal mind,
The care of Heaven in all alike they’ll find,
Respect awaits us if abroad we roam,
Repose and pleasure follow us at home;
At sea, we hear the waves sublimely roar —
The vales, and fountains charm us on the shore.
If rich, how sweet our bounties to impart,
If poor, how light and cheerful is the heart —
If wedded, we have love, if not vve go
(Per eardi unfettered as a bounding roe;
In life’s pursuits tile fearless young engage,
And calm Religion pacifies our age.
Thus, to the mind composed all objects bloom,
And Heaven's best roses blossom o’er the tomb.”
“ Go to the chambers of the dead, declare
How many noble spirits slumber there;
1 leroes that never set the world on fire,
Poets that only struck a transient lyre ;
Silent they sleep beneath oblivion’s throne
Their joys, their grief®, their very names unknown !
Immortal bards are dead, to fate a prey,
The Amaranthine flowers themselves decay!”
“Iti early days when wit first woke her song
Her voice was sweet, and man’s applause was strong;
The writers most reputed, are the first,
The work was new, their praises more than just;
Hut when the niches in the temple, all
Are filled with lauded busts, from wall to wall—
When every note is struck, and every flower
Combined with beauty in the mental bower—
Wilt thou in paths so often trod be great ?
Go blind prosumer, thou wert born toola'e !
Look to tho crowded skies, those fields afar.
Do those bright regions need another star ?
Look to the sun that glorious orb of day,
Wilt light thy taper to assist his ray '!”
“ What then ? Shall youth resign her noblest dreams
To float forever on oblivion’s streams?
Must man belie the instinct of his heart,
And leave, to vice alone Ambition’s part ?
No ! there is something still to be pursued
By all who live and love the general good ;
To cherish power—to raise the arts oflife—
To smile on merit, and extinguish strife;
To push, by some refined effectual plan,
Towards perfection’s summit, grovelling man”—
“To try each art, reprove each dull delay, , /
Allure to brighter worlds, and lead the way.” /

MACON:
Natimlny Morning, May U>» 1838.
£Cr “ E, M, P.” “ W.” and several other communi
cations are on file.
Several miscellaneous articles, of value, were put in
type for this impression, but were cowded out to make
room for the conclusion of “ The Game of Chess.”
Mr. James Lewis, of this place, was found on
Wednesday evening of this week, about 4 o’clock, ly
ing dead in his ice house. He was lying on his back in
that position the most natural after failing from a
sitting posture on the floor. A pistol shot had penetrat
ed his left breast, and on being probed, was found to
range in an angle of about 43 or 50 degrees downwards,
which must have passed either through the lower part
of the heart, or somewhere near its region. W hen dis
covered, the fire which the powder had communicated
to his clothing was not extinguished. The pistol was
lying at his feet as if it had fallen from his hands the mo
ment of its firing. An inquest was held and the verdict
rendered, “ Death by pistol shot, means unknown.”
Mr. Lewis was an industrious, enterpizing man, and
very much regarded by those who knew him. Ilis wife,
and we believe, one child are left to regret his melan
choly fate.
QCr Thomas Bradford, successor of Dr. Franklin,
and the oldest Printer and Editor in the Union, died
on Monday the 7th instant, at Philadelphia, in the 94th
! year of his age.
The Encampment.
The “ Macon Volunteers,” Commanded by C tip tain
Seymour, and die “ Bibb-Cavairy,” by Captain Eckley,
are now encamped on the hill lying west of the city.—
They arc a small but a puissant band —“ few but un
dismayed”—or, at least would prove so did they stand
behind our ramparts to defend the same cause as did
the champions of Warsaw. As it is, they now only
prepare in peace, that they may be ready in war; and
though the present encampment may be deemed only a
“ Light task and inerry holiday,”
yet it gives token of brave and gallant hearts, who,
should occasion require, would prove in the field what
they promise in the tent.
” lie scene is gay, military, and picturesque. Ascend
ing the hill,
Above the brightened cloud appears j
And in the smoke the pennons flew,
As in the storm the wild sea-mew ;
*****
And plumed crest of chieftains brave
Floating like foam upon the wave
All exhibited a scene with more of the appearance of
knightly preparation for the tournament and jousts of
the “olden time,” than like the fierce front of grim vis
aged war. There were others there too, to soften the
scene and give it the polish of peace ; who, if they min
gle not in the battle’s cry, nor wield the lance, the sword
or the martel, know full well how to inspire the valor to
make it effectual. True chivalry is the offspring of
beauty, and craven would that heart fie if its smiles did
not warm it up to lofty thoughts and daring deeds.
Air. Loomis, the Artist, is engaged in painting a view
of the Encampment, which will soon be completed.—
Thus far it is admirable. He has thrown much life and
incident upon the cartvass, although confined to a small
breadth of space. The tents,soldiers, and visiters com
mingled, the sentinels stationed at their different posts,
and the background of forest, are truly striking. But
the most natural, and by far the most superior thing in
it is the Bartnef. It floats over the glad host, as if it
were really moved into those graceful undulations of
fold by the gentle breeze of the South.
Freedom of Opinion.
5Kr We know that all who are interested in the pres
ervation of our civil lilierfit s, will read the article in to
day’s paper headed “ Punishment for Blasphemy in the
I9th century,” with feelings of unaffected regret. We
approach the subject with diffidence, but firmness. For
when we believe that the sanctity of the freedom of
opinion has been invaded bv the ministers of justice*
and openly violated hv the high judicial powers of a
State, we shall not shrink from holding up the violators
to public reprobation. The Inquisition of Spain, if not
revived in form, exists in fact The man who has dif
fered from the vast majority of mankind in the peculiar
tenets of his religious creed, has befen dragged before
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts to answer for ex
ercising the best privileges conferred upon him by the
constitution of his country. From a constitution too,
that sprung from religious intolerance and bigotfed per
secution. From the loins of those pilgrim fathers who
crossed the billowy Atlantic to kneel upon the rock of
Plymouth and offer up their worship to the great Fount
according to the sjiomaneous dictates of their own
hearts.
The choicest fruit that grows upon the tree of
American liberty, is security under the law. And what
do you call security under the law ? The right to en
joy unfettered our own free opinions upon the great sub
jects of Religion and Politics, and to lie protected in the
enjoyment of those personal rights guarenteed bv the
constitution. Massachusetts in the prosecution of Ab
ner Kuceland, has doubly violated those rights. She
has suppressed the exercise of religious opinion, and
subjected the offender to fine and imprisonment. Thus
at one blow sweeping away the strongest bulwarks of
constitutional liberty—freedom of conscience and the
rights of the person. Culigula-like, but more happy in
attaining her object, she has in thus seizing upon the at
tributes of Omnipotence, imprisoned the body and en
chained the mind.
We rejoice that we live in a Christian land and under
the blessings of a wise government. But live where
we may, wc shall ever believe that opinions in matters
of religion, should be totally unrestricted ; and that the
laws should never attempt to limit the exercise of con
scientious belief, unless the public safety demanded it,
or all moral restraint had become abandoned. We
contend “that opinion is free, and conduct alone, is
amenable to law.” And that not until men have en
dangered the safety of the community, and broken out
beyond the pale of moral obligation into lawless licen
tiousness, ought government to arrest the current.—
“ When men can freely communicate their thoughts
and their sufferings, real or imaginary, their passions
spend themselves in air, like gun-powder scattered upon
the surface: but pent up by terrors, they work unseen,
burst forth in a moment and destroy every thing in their
course.” Let reason be opposed to reason, and argu
ment to argumeut, and truth will blaze up into a flame
of more dazzling brilliancy, fed by the materials heaped
on to crush it.
The sword nor the manacle are not the legitimate
arbiters of the Bible. The Son and his apostles pro
mulgated the sublime truths of the Christian religion,
through the influence of reason and persuasion. Let
government ‘go and do likewise,’ Let it be proclaimed
from the pulpit and the press—from land to land, that
the “ Spirit and the bride say. Come. And let him that
beared) say, Come. And let him that is athirst conic.
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life free
ly." And to whom is die charity of the mercy, let also
be the penalty of refusal.

The Drama.
We are gratified to learn from Mr. Hart, who is now
playing to full and fashionable audiences in Columbus,
that he will visit this place, on or about the Ist of June
next. He has again made an addition to his Company',
and we are informed that Miss Meadows, the “cele
brated juvenile prodigy,” and Air. and Mrs. F. Brown
will “act out” an engagement here.
Marvellous.

Eriiest 5/altravers & Alice, or the Mysteries.
The anxious solicitude excited in the minds of the
reading community to learn the sequel to “ Ernest Mal
travers, ’is at last gratified. We now know the fate of
the personages that filled up those volumes, who although
ideal portiaitures, yet have called up much the feelings
of our nature and many the speculations of our minds.
Fof let critics say what they may about fictions com
menced without premeditation, and perfected without
thought, Still when they gusli out in spontaneous streams
of living genius from such leviathans in literature as
Scott, Maria Edgeworth and De Stael have been, and
as James De Israeli arid Bulwer now are, we find fre
quently evolved in their glowing compositions, principles
botli illustrative, and practical, drawn from History,
Philosophy and Religion, that must afford subjects for
reflection, and matter for improvement.
'I ne heartless libertine (as some would term him) has
been moralized by age, chastened by better conceptions
of virtue, and we hope, saved from retribution by re
pentance. He whose wayward youth we pursued
(perhaps as a child pursues the variegated serpent) with
the animation of ardent fancy, has at last, with all the
frail imperfections of his nature, and the mysterious re
verses of his fortune, been changed into the calm,
thoughtful and dignified philosopher, and into a more
rigid appreciation of moral principle. It is true that
the envenomed serpent may have sent his poison ting
ling to tho heart, had we finally paused at the conclu
sion of the first two volumes. But even then, as in the
instance of the beautiful Alice Darvill, the digression
would have been palliated, and the fear of danger have
perished, in the utter unconsciousness of peril and in
the innocent, because ignorant violation of tiic moral
law.
Asa jurist we would by no means plead ignorance,
in vindication of perpetrated crime. Bat would you
hang a maniac for murder—imprison a barbarian for
polygamy—or sentence the bearded heathen to eternal
punishment whose sun-scorched bosom had never been
shaded by the broad mantle of the Christian religion ?
Reason and Justice would revolt at the proposition. It
has been wisely ordained by both the natural, revealed
and human law, that actual premeditation and a con
seiousnes of the evil nlust accompany the deed before
guilt can be adjudged.
If then, the novelist plunges his hero into crime, of
his heroine into liasons, suffer him at least to extend the
right of retraction, and the benefit of atonement. Sin
alas! for us, is too natural. And were it not that youth
ful indiscretions were obliterated from the heart by the
mellowed regrets of old age and matured wisdom, few
indeed would be the “ drops of Eden that we still in
herit.” Let us be what we may, let the serpent of sin
trail us over the wild, heedless) and stormy wanderings
of the passioris;
“ Yet if the gßrni of virtue live*
Let constant faith her sufferings brave {
Goodness is powerful to forgive,
And Heaven, Omnipotent to save.”
It did save thee, sweet, graceful and Constant Alice !
And henceforth, what Knight so dastard a® not to break
a lance with th'* dark spirit who would dare throw over
th v repentant soul the deep shadows of the past ?
If wc could advance a single objection to these novels
it would he, that the imagination becomes too highly
excited—he penetrates too far into the Elusinian mvs- |
teries of feeling—he stretches the heart’s fibres to its
utmost tension, until the too susceptible render, is tor
tttred into the wildest intensity of the emotion.®. If we
ever desired a hard, worldly, insensible mind, it would
lie when reading such a passion-exciting romance ; we
could then pause and speculate upon the varied chan
ges of the human passions, and our gradual progress in
life, from the flushed excesses of ardent youth, to the
quiet and dignified era of ripened manhood. As it is,
we are hurried onward, and onward, with a resistless
#nd tide-like impetuosity, never once looking behind
until the enthusiasm of our nature having been lashed
into its stormiest elements, at length recedes and leaves
the heart stripped of its spring-flowers, and the mind al
most robbed of its virgin freshness.
It is true that at first, the idea of Maltrnver’s idolatrous
passion for Evelyn (believing her as wc did, to be. his
child) was revolting, but ns the scene verges to the close
we. are relieved, as the Author gracefully extricates both ;
from their unfortunate position. How happy, and lmir
like, the distinction between the love of Evelyn for the j
lofty, dignified and talented Malt ravers, and the voting,
handsome, ardent and accomplished Legard. For one,
it was the admiration of genius, and those illustrious
qualities that command rather than win our esteem. —
In the other, it was the elegant accomplishments of per
son, the burning and chivalrous soul, and the deep
breathed devotion of spirit that speak thriliingly to wo
man’s heart, and obtain in return her spontaneous af
fections. Evelyn would have looked upon Ernest as
her adviser and protector, and almost venerated him as
such; she would have linked her wholccxistence toLe- j
gard, and adored him as her husband.
And what shall we say of Lumley Ferrers ? at once
bold and crafty, frank and insiduous, selfish and liber
al ; made up of such incongruities as to make him an
anomoly among men. And, yet, so true to life, and reg
ular in his designs to accomplish his purposes that we
hardly notice anything except the enormities of his vil
lany. It is a poor compliment to human nature to draw
such a character; but that the mind may be blackened
into such sin as to reflect back the image of Hell itself,
history has too faithfully established. Lord Vargram,
like Machiavel, made the ends sanctify the means.—
And how fearfully did his hyena revenge ring in the
piercing agonies of the high-souled Florence, and long
afterwards in the wild maniac laugh of the poor impas
sioned Cesarini. No wonder that the wail of lamenta
tion was not heard over the death-bed of the fierce and
relentless minister. Mankind have hut, at best, few
sympathies to strew over the fate of the good—hardly
a flower for the grave of him, who in want of heart at
least, so much resembled Nero.’*
But we will linger no longer over the beauties that
ornament, and the vices that deform the various char
acters in “ Earnest Maltravers” and “ Alice or the
Mysteries.” Let those who would wake up the mind
from the listlessness of “Ennui” and excite fresh ver
dure over exhausted Fancy, open and read them! and
we promise that the eye shall be fested with beauty, tho
imagination luxuriate in the poetry of language, and
the heart be softened by the exquisite suseeplilHlity of
Evelyn and the chaste and elevated sentiment of Va
lerie.
