*wer the question I’ll ask otter#: Do any of
tliese qualities show cither the beauty of moral
excellence, or the depth and strength of intel
lectual power ? No. Well, what feeling
have they awakened in the mind of the specta
tor ? Not love for virtue, not love for mind.
Well, what then is love at first sight, or love
awakened by tl.e show of body ? It is nothin
but sensual, degrading passion. This is why
I blush fora person who loves at first sight,
and confesses it. By what feelings these young
folks arc influenced I say not; the faults I have
named are the faults of our nature ; and the
best way we can do, is to conceal them by
shunning them.” If Jimmy said any more 1
didn’t hear him for his harrang was so dull to a
man of my age that I went fast asleep, and
slept soundly till mornin. When I started to
the examination I had on the boots and coat 1
wore at Charleston, the night she was the “ sit
ty of fire;” but instead of a fine slick black
hat, I wore a broad-brim crcem co'er’d one.
and it was so broad and deep, that a feller ad
vised me to look out for strumps, for if 1 shoud
happen to stumble and fall into my hat I could
n’t git out agin. I do believe Jimmy was a
little ashamed of his companion, but it was no
thin more than every person is guilty of at
soine time or other. We arc all merry equais
in private, but when eyes are upon us we feel a
swelling importance, and the least sign ofstnnl.
ness in our associate creates dislike. Jimmy
was handsome, and the gals look’d at him rite
cross-eyediy : the young dandies, with young
Misses, strutted. Tlie dandies strutted, rs
Jimmy said, ntore proudly than Sesar did when
he entered Rome, laden with spoils and the tro
ties of war; while the ladies’ back-bones made
an angle of forty-five degrees with the palm of
the horizon, and their twistins and smiles was
enufto make a dog sick.” His last words
were not so purty, I thought, as Rome and Se
sar, and trofies, yet I thought he told the truth.
Well, Boh, we got into the house—l by Jim
my —and the scene was opened with a fiurish
of fiddles, pianner fortys”, &c., then came a
stream of Hyferlossofy, treggincmetry, sines,
cosines, tangents, cotangents, secants and co
secants, radius, pc mb, romboys, or boids.
squares, angles and triangles, logger it tens, and
Bottiny’s Rqekofcgy and congaololy, I tried
to see em, tut coqlflii’t see anything but some
white marlcSjon a black board, a few flowers,
pebbles, and muscle shells. Then a class
came up and commenced w;hat I’ve heard so
often at school examinations, that 1 know it my
self, Dt us crcavit selum ; then another class,
Tyttery tu patu/y reckubuns sub tegminy fttji ;
then a higher, Armtar virumgae causa ; then
another, Mccenas atavis edile regibus, all of
which 1 believe are the first lines in the books,
and the examinations extend but little further.
Jimmy says to me, “ ’Squire, do you know
anything about that ?” Not none, no>t none,
says I, I know no more about it thaq I do of
that which is not. “ Well, do you know what
will be the end of such instruction ?” No
rfiore, said I, than what .the verdict of a petty
jury will be, and that they dont know them
selves. “Well,” says Jimmy, “many of these
young ladies have finished their studies and
polished 'their minds, they say, though little, fur
ther than the first lines in Viril, Horris, &c.
and they have studied Uclid, plane
and sperekal Trigginomctry, the middle link?
in the . great chain of Mathymattocks, wn?L.l
can compare this, science, ’Squire, to a flight
of stairs ; you must commence at the bottom
step—the second §tep, which is Algebra, bcin
too high to leap to from the ground, without
fallin, they have been lifted by the scool tecch
er to these steps, and now they cant proceed,
but must sink, Here you see Latin and num
bers jumbled together, and what are called pur
lite sciences, bottiny, &c., and music, and ma
ny other things, all in the mind at once, and
there is sich a confusion there that they cant
come out in order ; qll of these, ’Squire, form
a buildiij with many rooms; you cant find out
one room and notice its beauties in a year.—
Yet tliese ladies i;un through all in a day, and
when done, they cant tell you whether they
were on a dirt or a planjr fl<W; so the conclu
sion is that they’ve opened tlie door of knowl
edge— peeped in-—have shut it, and are now
for tte I louse of Pleasures.” “ Well,” says 1,
‘•you have been railin agin, tliese young men,
these twist in ladies, these studies, and against
every thing nearly,’’, “No,” said Jimmy
“ young ladies are here who consult the ora
cles of wisdom.” Wfi'dt the duce is that ? says
I. “ VVhv, to be plain, tlie fountains ot lear
tiin ; and are firm upon good foundations.” —
So I should think, judgin from the size of that
gal’s foot, yoiuleiy says I. “Oh, ’Squire,”
says Jimmy, “ 1 inepn that gills are here who
seek knowledge, and are above those shallow
pated fops who are always at female examin
ations.” Well, says I. dont.talk so loud ;by
jings ! they have been lafin at us! Sure enuff
they had teen lafin, for,t,and Jiitinty hod faced
each other, and were debatin and gesturin like
road men ; Jimmy blushed and rose ; I grin
ned and pitched head foremost among the
ladies; for l rose quickly— coat tail had
been tied to ,thp bottom pftbc be/ich -rshe was
rotten—l in a hurry—so we parted at the shol
ders, We left that house and place as soon
as we could git our horses-—lafled at and joked ,
by all. When we \vere out of town and dan- j
ger, I discivered that I left a ginger cake and j
two long segars in my pockets at the scool [
house, but I thought no more of them. 4 Well,’ i
says Jimmy, “ how would our dauters be edu- j
cated if such scools were nocked iii the head ? j
Well, ’Squire,” says he, “ If parents would
watch over their children more, and liqve ’em
to commence and proceed regularly iii a prop,
er course of study, the evil might be in some
measure remedied. But to keep love, and
show, and fops, and fools away, every village
and community should patronize an able teach
er for its own benefit alone ; then the puples,
and teacher, and studies, and all would be un
der the immediate notice of parents, conse
quently, gallantry would te discountenanced,
studies pursued with more ardor, moral prin
ciples would abound more deeply in the heart;
Wisdom, the triune temple of Virtue, Knowl
edge, and true Politeness, would open her sa
loons to the young and the happy, that they
flight enter and dwell in light.” Amen, says
I ; but why did you hiention moral principle,
since ladies are tingles ? “ They arc flesh and
blood,” says Jimmy, “ and all parential res
traint bcin withdrawn they arc ns tq t to con
tract loose moral actions, words and thoughts
as men ; and the situation, too, is full of snares.
Some of the odes of Horris are too black for
a man of modest feelin, and ” Well,
says I, we’ll talk it over some other time, here
is my road, the night is dark : good bye.
The exercise of ridin, tte change of place,
cured me of the “ blues.”

An Extract from an Oration delivered by S.
M. Strong, Esq.
Scarce had our own government been or
ganized and confirmed under the federal con
stitution, when the elements of revolution,
gathering into masses big and black, broke
with irresistible fury over devoted France.—
Thomas Payne’s rights, of man had been read,
our own independence had teen recognized,
and L; fiyctte had returned to the vine-clad
.hills of. his native land, and announced the
triumph of freedom over oppression, and the
erection of a constitutional government upon
.the ruins of despotism. But the dynasty of
the Bourbon family seemed at last destined to
perish, without the success of regulated liber
ty. Instead of the fair form of that goddess,
having appeared robed in the white habiliments
,of innocence and peace, with tlie scales of jus
tice suspended in fjer fyind, there aro;e anpther
spirit, clothed in the blood red mantle of revo
lution ! A dire portent of political fury and
religious fanaticism. And, amid the wild roar
of discord, the,hcllisl\ rescripts of Marat, of
Danton and Robespierre,.proclaimed that order
and religion were abolished, and .that tyranny
and misrule had usurped their places. Earth
trembled, and Heaven itself grew red wit!)
wrath, at the enormity of tlie crimes that had
teen perpetrated! The death kiiell.of the
kingdom of the French was heard, .and it
sounded in sullen murmurs from hill to plain,
from stream to stream, until it had rebounded
from the Alps to the Appeninesl
But, lo! from the lone island of Corsica
there arose another prodigy, before whose re
splendent lustre men shrunk back aghast, and
beneath whose glance the strong nations of the
earth "quailed and trembled. He came to ride
upon the winds and to direct the tempest. His
aim was universal empire, and he would have
centralized tte kingdoms of the whole earth to
his dominion. With the trident of Neptune
lie longed to subjugate the waters of the great
deep. With ASolus, te would have com
mingled with the stormy elements above, and
subjected the agences* of the Great Unknown
to his Will! And seizing upon the attributes
of. Jupiter, lie would have concentrated the
•pQwers of the rest of the gods, and ruled Over
both earth and heaven! Up—up—up he
mounted, higher and higher till, planting his
footsteps upon the last block of the pyramids
of Egypt, he turned and “ bade forty ages be
hold him!” t .
It is true, that constitutional freedom wither
ed at his approach; but it was because that his
stupendous designs gave him no time to de
vote to the minutiae of written legislation. And
te desired to be considered the central sun of
powcu, and to Withhold, or diffuse his rpys, as
he best deemed would tend to tte advance
ment of the glory and grandeur of France.
But that fiery comet, wandering far abroad
from his legitimate orbit into the ice-bound
regions of Russia, was destined to grow pale,
to fall from his empyrean height, and at last to
go down amid the stoimy agiu t ons that he
himself had created
"So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain,
No more through rolling clouds to soar again,
Views his own feather in the fatal dart,
That drew the last life-drop from his bleeding heart."

MACON:
— • 1
Saturday Morning, July 1838.
'J'he price of this paper has been changed
from Two to Three Dollars, in advance—
Four Dollars if not paid within the year.—-
The paper will be furnished, the balance of
the year, at the foriper prices, to those who
e' ■ 1
have already subscribed.
The business of writing editorials is sometimes a most
troublesome affair. The poor devil of tin editor is fre
quently most dreadfully bored with that unwelcome
sound that wrings in his ears of “ More copy, sir,” from
the cracked voice of the little.inky-faced devil, that in
separable appendage of a l l printing establishments. Oh,
for a subject! Will nothing new turn up? Will not
some friend step in, big with the intelligence of some
recent disaster ? Any thing from the Canadas? What
are the patriots doing? Nothing much. Any news late
from Texas ? None at all. The big steam ships have
made their discharges, and are off again for Europe?
Nothing from across the “ big water?’’ The papers are
barren. Nothing new at home- We haye plenty of
dullness, hard times, loafing, and hot weather: no
scarcity of that any where. Wc have no money; that
is no news, tQ our creditors at least. Congress has ad
journed. Our Cherokee Indians are going off; the
troops, we presume, are being disbanded, and are seek
ing their, homes. Florida—poor Florida—as you were;
without much prospect of speedy relief! Pccasionallv,
some tale of horror keeps you in the minds ofyour bre
thren ; you receive sympathy, hut little else. When the
tale of .thv woes was first told, many willing hearts
sprang forward to battle iu thy cause, and the cause of
murderetf innocence. It is not the fault of thy elder
brethren, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, South Caro
lina, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Missoqri, that thy trou
bles are not now at aq end. Hundreds marched to the
rescue, and yet the ruthless savage is dealing death
along thy exposed borers! The government has not
been wanting in the number of troops she has sent, or
the money expended for thy deliverance. A deep re
sponsibility rests somewhere, and where, we are not
prepared to say. But this much we oan say, that Flo
rida has much more need of skilful officers and troops,
and money and provisions, than many other place*,
where they have been i m.iloyed in abundance. Land
of flowers and of song, thy tales of suffering will, in after
times, be told as exceeding any that have passed.—
Where, and in what age, have Indian massacres been
so numerous, and so appalling? Within thy borders for
several years, have the savage foe revelled in the blood
of the innocent and the helpless. The helping bund, ‘tis
true, has been extended, but almost ineffectually; the
reason, time, perhaps, will show. Parties are being split
up and torn Blunder, by the starting of new questions,
and the involving new priuciplea. Opinions apd senti
ments are undergoing a change The scheming politi
cian, the close observer of party movemenrr, 'lie wary
and cunning, and yet bold defender of bis party, is now
slow to express himself. A change has come over the
spirit of the times, and anew feature ia stamping its im
pression on the age. What are to be the mov; m nts,
and what the result of the next political year, is hard to
be imagined. It wonld puzzle tlie wisdom of age, and
the foresight of experience. Oh, the times and the man
ners!—oh, Uncle Sain and the people !—oh, the banks
and the Lxc jfyeos! Oh, Spirit of Parties and Politics!
—surely thou art drunken, or dreaming, or on a jpur
ney, or hast been blest with the confusion of tongv.es,
and thy followers have been left to wander about, stum
bling over friends and falling in with enemies, creating
such a zizzing whirl as to turn the head of a steady
gazer. Who has . been erecting this babel of wealth
and invention, which has even sought the skies for an
abiding place, and looked to command the elements and
ride upon the Storm, and give direction to its course —
girt about with wealth.iuuqense, impenetrable, imper
vious to disaster. Was there ever a people so ambitious ?
Was there ever an “ Uncle Sam” so proud of his aspir
ing children?, Ah,..how has thy pride been chastened
and abashed, and the aspiring ambition of thy children
lowered to a humiliating dependence, Crushed beneath
the force of circumstances that none could foresee—
none avoid vaunting pride humbled—laid low in
(he dust: thou, that tbougldSßt to govern by anew ma
nagement—to row thy vessel to an Elysian harbor,
whevp.all thy childrep njjght rqll in the lap of plenty,
and revel in the embrace of.luxury. You hurled the
gauntlet in tire face of a great nation, and art thyself
subdued by, a fcw stragglnjig bnpds of lawless Indians!
You menaced a petty government, and was menaced
in return fourfold, These are tlie. fruits of an over
weening desire to exalt thyself far above others; to oc
cupy anew position— to be the gaze of the world, end
the admired of all times. _
{ttr The Southern Literary Messingex is as ac
ceptable as ever, with itsrich varipd “ Original Papers,"
“ Biographical Sketches” and Original Poetry. The
July number opens with an article on, ‘Ancient Lite
rature —the writings of Xenophon.” 'The author is an
prudite scholar, enough to entice the yearning student,
fro;q harsher studies. We give a small extract,. It is
# conversation between Socrates, the ph losopher, and
Aristodemus, the atheist. Let the atheist read.
“ Tell me,” said Socrates, “ Aristodemus,
is there any man whom you admire on ac
count of hiq merit ?”
Aristodemus having answered, “Many”—
“ Name some of them,” said Socrates, “1
j pray you.” V.-.
“ I admire,” said Aristodemus, “ Homer
for his epic poetry, Meliyiippkles for his dithy
ramhics, Sophocles for his "tragedy, Polycletes
fte statuary, and Xeuxis for painting.”
“ But which seems to you most worthy of
admiration, Aristodemus ; the artist who forms
images void of motion and intelligence, or one
who hath the skill to produce animals that are
endued not only with activity, but understand.
ing Z”
“ The latter, there can be no doubt,” re
plied Aristodemus, “provided tbe production
be not the.effyct of chance, but of wisdom
and contrivance.”
“ But since there, ary many things, some of
which we can easily sqe the use of), while we
cannot say of others, to whyt purpose they
were produced, which of these, Aristodemus,
do you suppose the work of wisdom ?”
“It would seem fhc most reasonable to af
firm it of those whose fitness and utility is so
evidently apparent.”
“ But,” replied Socrates, “it is evidently
apparent, that He who made man endued him
with senses because they were good for him ;
eyes wherewith to behold whatever was visi
ble, and ears to hear whatever was tQ.be heard;
And say, Aristodemus, to what purpose qhould
odors be prepared, if the sense of smelling
were denied? or why the distinctions of bitter
and sweet,, savory and unsavory, unless a pal
ate had been given, conveniently placed to ar
bitrate between them and declare the differ
ence ? Is not that Providence in a most emi
nent manner conspicuous, which, because the
eye of man is so. delicate in its contexture,
hath therefore prepared eyelids like doors,
whereby to secure it, which extend of them
selves whenever it is needful, and again close
when sleep approaches J . Are not the eyelids
provided, as it were, with a fence. on the edge
of them, to keep off the wind and guard the
eve ? Even the eyebrow jtself is not without
its office, but as a pent-.house, is prepared to
turn off the sweat falling from the forehead,
which might enter and annoy that no less ten
der than astonishing part of us. Is it not to te
admired that the ears should take in sonpds of
every sort, and yet are not too much filled, by
them ? That the fore teeth of the animal should
be formed in such a manner as is evidently best
suited for cutting of its food, as those on the
side for grinding it in pieces ? That the
mouth, through which the food is conveyed, is
placed so near the oqsc and eyes, as Vo prevent
the passing unnoticed, whatsoever is unfit for
nourishment? And canst thou still doubt,
Aristodemus, whether a disposition of parts
like these should be the work of chance, or of
wisdom and contrivance?”
Then follows the *- Influepeeof morals.” The author
raises his standard of morals very high, but it is not un
approachable. His labor will nut be ..spent in vain; his
manly, and, we may almost say. daring castigation of
Edward Lj’tton Bulwer, the most faseiiyiting writer of
any age, will open the eyes of many, although it may
be generally considered as too severe, and perhaps it is
so. We shall always read Bulwer, as, we presume'
will also the author; but we would not place them in
the hands of the young, ardent, and romantic reader.
To more matured intellects, wc do not apprehend that
thpy would be of scarcely any danger. But works of
an immoral tendency, which have the power, like those
of the gifted Bulwer, to throw so fascinating a spell
over the attention of its readers, and being sa universal
ly read by all ages from the school boy to the man of
years, must and will leave their impression on tlie age.
The present .age may he jthe succeding
one greatly benefitted, by the same works. It would
l>e a question hard to decide, whether it were better that
Bulwer had written* or bad. not written- And there are
few, we presume, but that would shrink irom the deci
sion. • *

The Editorial conduct of the new volume will be un
der the charge of Li es Sargent, nnd will contain, as
heretofore, contributions from Messrs. A/orris, Fav,
Cox, Captain A/nrryatt, Sheridan Knowles, Inman;
Wilis, and a list of two hundred others, well known to
the reading community. In the variety, interest, amuse
ment and instruction of its literary department, and the
splendour of its embellishments, the beauty of its mu
sic, and elegance of its typography, it ia intended to
render the new volume, in all respects, equal, if not su
perior, to its predecessors; and it is universally admit
ted that no work eztant furnishes such valuable equiva
lents for the trifling amount at which it is afforded per
annum, as the M rror. i ... y
In an advertisement like tlie present, it is pot jicini
blc to state nil our plans for the new volume; and, if it
were, it would not be necessary for a journal that is so
extensive ly known, not only throughout the U. States
and Great Britain, but wherever the English languaga
is spoken. Suffice it to say, that neither pains; labour,
talent, industry, nor expense, shbll be spared to render
i a ligh*, graceful, ahd egreeab’e melage of polite ant!
elegant literature, as w ell as. an ornament to tne period
ical press of Statt s—intended alike for the
perusal of our fair and gen'lc countrywomen, the se
cluded student, the marr cf business, and all of both
Se.tes possessing a particle of taste qr refinement—and
while its pt.ges never will contain a single word or sen
tence that would vibrn'e unpleasantly upon the car of
; the most sensitive daughter c.f Eve, they will be render*
i ed not the less acceptafde to the opposite sex.
CoNDmoNS.—The A/rror is published cv?ty Satur
day, at No. 1, Be relay-street, next door to Broad wav.
