*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.” My love to your acquaintences. BILLY BARLOW, Esq. Dooly District, Warren County, Ga. ) July 2,1838. $ Communicated. ITapolcon. 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." gOTOTffillßßlf TOST. OFFICE UNDER THE CENTRAL HOTEL, THIRD DOOR ABOVE frllE .fuST - OFFICE, AND IN THE REAR OF (ADJOINING) THE READING ROOM OF THE MACON LIBRARY SOCIETY 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. • * New Views of the Solar System. —This is an article rather startling, at the first view, but quite interesting in detail.
