Alexander turning his Ilorse. BY r*P.K BENJAMIN. The young prince astonished his father, and the -ert, by his di x i ri’;. • eg ■ ! U lus.” Supplement to Quintus Curtius. ‘‘Bring forth the steed !” It was a level plain, Broad and unbroken as the mighty sen, When in their prison-caves the winds lie chained. There Fhihp sate, pavilioned from the sun ; There, all around, thronged Macedonia’s hosts, Bannered, and plumed, and armed —a vast array ! There, too, among an undistinguished ere-w and, Distinguish) and not himself by pomp, or drtss Or any r<n a sign, save that he wore A god-likt.-countenance, like Olympian Jove, And perfect grace and dignity—a youth— A simple youth, scarce sixteen summers old— Willi sw ift,impatient step, walked to and fro. Even from their monarch's throne, they turned to view —Those countless congregations—that young form ; And when lie cried again, “bring forth the steed !” Like thunder rose the multitudinous shout, From every voice but one — “Live Alexander!" ThenFliilip waved his sceptre. Silence fell O'er all the plain. ’Twns but a moment’s pause: While every gleaming banner, helm, and spear, Sunk down —hke ocean-billows, when the breeze First sweeps along and bends their silvery crests. Ten thousand trumpets rung amid the hail Os armies, as in victory, “ Live the King I" And Philonieus, the Pharsalian, kneeled. From famous Thessaly a horse he brought— A matchless horse I Vigor and beauty strove, Like rival sculptors carving the same stone, To win the mastery: and both prevailed. His hoofs w ere shod xvith swiftness ; where he ran, Glided the ground like water; inhiseye Flashed the strange fire of spirits still untamed, As w hen the desert owned him for its lord. Mars! what a noble creature dirt he seem ! Too noble for a subject to bestride— Worth gold in talents —chosen fora prince. The most renowned and generous on earth. “ Obey my son, Pharsalian : bring the steed !" The monarch spoke. A signal to the grooms, And on the plain they led Bucephalus. “ Mount, vassal, mount. Why pales thy cheek in fear! Mount—ha ! art slain ? Another : mount again !” ’Twas ail in vain. No hand could curb a neck, Clothed with such might and grandeur, to therein. No thong or spur could make his fury yield. Now bounds he from the earth ; and now tie rears — Now madly plunges—strives to rush away, Like that strong bird—his fellow, king of air ! “ Quick, take him lienee !” cried Philip ; “he is wild.” “ Stay, father, stay ! —lose not this gallant steed, For that base grooms cannot control his ire ! Give me the bridle !” Alexander threw His light cloak from his shoulder, and drew nigh. The brave steed was no courtier : prince nnd groom Bore the same mien to him. He started back ; But with firm grasp the youth retained, and turned His fierce eyes from his shadow to the sun. Then, with that hand, in after times which hurled The bolts of w ar among embattled boats ; Conquered all Greece, and over Persia swayed Imperial command—which on Fame’s Temple Graved, Alexander, Victor of the World ! With that same hand he smoothed the flowing mane, Patted the glossy skin w ith soft caress, Soothingly speaking in low voice the w hile. Lightly he vaulted to his first great strife. How like a Centaur looked the steed and youth ! Firmly the hero sate ; his glowing cheek Flushed w ith the rare excitement • his high brow Pale with a stern resolve : his lip as smiling. And his glance as calm, as if, in tender dalliance, Instead of danger, w ith a girl he played. Untutored to obey, how raves the steed ! Champing his bit, nnd tossing the white foam. And struggling to he free, that he might dart, Swift as un arrow from a shivering bow. The rein isloosened. “ Now, Bucephalus !” Away—away ! —he flies, away—away ! The multitudes stood hushed, in breathless aw e. And gazed into the distance. Lo ! a speck— A darksome speck, on the horizon ! ’Tie— ’Tis he ! Now it enlarges ; now are clearly seen The horse and rider; now, with ordered pace. The horse approaches, and the rider leaps Down to the earth, and bends his rapid pace Unto the King’s pavilion. The wildstced. Unled, uncalled, is following his subduer. Philip wept tears of joy : “My son, go seek. A larger empire ; for so vast a soul. Too small is Macedonia I" t’. R. HANLEITER, PRINTER. Commercial Convention. JUDGE BERBIEX’S ADDRESS. Delivered at the close of the Commercial Convention, recently held in Milledgeville. Gentlemen of the Convention: I thank you cordially for the testimony of your approbation, which you have been pleased to offer to me. 1 came here with a sincere desire to unite my individual efforts with yours in the accomplishment of the {’teat and interes ting object of our assemblage. That object is no less than the commercial independence of the South—the emancipation of our commerce from those shackles, which our own supine, ness and the activity of our Northern brethren have thrown around it. lam deeply' sensible of its importance in every aspect in whi h 1 can contemplate it, peculiarly and politically, now, and in all future time ; to us, more immediate ly and at prescut, but to them also, ultimately, in the increased security which it w ill give to the bond of our Union. In a sincere and de voted attachment to that Union, I yield to no man. I was hi ought up at the feet of one, by whom I was taught to revere it, and my ma turer judgment has hut served to confirm the conviction, which the lessons of infancy had inculcated—l would enter therefore upon the measures, deemed necessary for the attain ment of our object, in no unfriendly spirit to wards our fellow citizens of the North. Re joicing in their prosperity, I would call upon our people, not to envy, but to emulate it— to seek to participate in it, by the use of those means which the bounty of Providence has piaccd at our disposal, 'finis far, it is equally my right, nnd my duty to go. lam a South cm man, a citizen of Georgia—within that State, is concentered all that is dearest to try heart, or to my hope; and whether for weal or ; lbr woe tier destiny i- mine. 1 will claim your indulgence fur a moment. Gentlemen, while I offer to you t-ti occasional suggestion in relation to some of the subjects which have engaged our attention. The more 1 immediate object of our assemblage, was to confer together, as citizens of Georgia, on the means best calculated to establish within our own borders a direct import trade adequate to supply our ov. n wants, and those of our South, ern and Southwestern brethren. Two things have appeared to us indispensable to the ac complishment of this object; to facilitate the communications between our Western and Atlantic boundary, and to furnish in our sea ports, adequate markets of purchase and sup ply—the citizens of tli« interior must be ena bled to carry there the products of his labor, in the least practicable time, and nt the least practicable expense. When arrived there, he must be able to find a prompt and profitable market for the sale of those products, and to purchase on as good terms as lie can obtain them elsewhere, the articles which aie tie. cessary for interior consumption. Unless these objects can be attained, we shall seek in vain to divert the commerce of our State from ;!. present circuitous channels. The sacrifice of interest to patriotism, belongs to occasions of high and peculiar excitement, and cannot be relied upon as a rule of ordinary action in matters of this kind. Cun these objects be attained? Can we furnish to the producer in our own seaports, as good a market for the sale of his produ its, and for the purchase of his supplies, as ho can find elsewhere? We have thought so. Looking to the diminished expense of transportation when our system of internal improvement shall have been com plctffd, ami of direct compared with circuitous importations, we have believed that these ques tions may bes ifely answered in the affirma tive. Hut this, system of internal improvement must be carried out—the means of direct im. portations must be supplied. ITow is this to be accomplished ? Both objects require monied capital—beyond the means of indi viduals—beyond what we collectively possess. In proportion to the resources of our p topic, the capital which is actually and actively em ployed in these and kindred enterprises it is believed, will fully authorise the language of the report which you have adopted. Our actual capital is already employed in profitable investment, and cannot be diverted to other objects, without serious injury to existing inter ests—ls our situation peculiar? Does it differ from that of other States, by whom these ob jects have been accomplished, or among whom they are in successful progicss ? Have these been attained, or are they prosecuted by means of individual enterprizt and capital alone? Look around you! Extend your view over the Union ! Direct your attention to those States, that are foremost in the march of internal improvement, and commercial cn terprize—and let each one'answer for himself the enquiry which I repeat —have the rnagni ficent improvements which this survey presents to our view been constructed by individual enterprize and capital, or have they not rather been accomplished by the liberal use of the credit and capital of the resjiective States, in which they are found? Look to New York, to that great state, which is an object of just pride not only to our own sons, hut to every citizen of the Union. S e is at this moment reaping the rich reward of the wisdom which sustained that system ofinternal improvements, to which she is so largely indebted for her commercial pre-eminence. These splendid works involving an amount of expenditure, j far exceeding that which would be required to an lihilate for all practical purposes, the dis tance which separates our mountains from the ocean, have been constructed with funds rais ed on the credit of the State. They constitute at this moment the richest capital which a State can possess, yielding to the pubhc an abundant income in tolls, and contributing a thousand other modus to improve the condi tion of the individual citizen. Bass over to Pennsylvania—-and the reports of her commis sioners of public works will inform you, that she too, correcting the erross of her earlier operations, is now enjoying the fruits of the large expenditure which she lias applied to | internal improvement. If now you will di rect your attention to our younger sisters Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, you will see that in eacli of these enterprising, and rapidly ad vancing members of the Confederacy, the treasures of .he State, its faith and credit have been freely used for the accomplishment of such works of internal improvement, as the judgment of their resjiective Legislatures have approved. But limit the sphere of your ob servation, and see with what alacrity sSouth Carolina fiewtothe rescue ; with what liberali. t v she jdedged tier credit, wht n a desolating fire had reduced to ashes her principal seaport. The truth is gentlemen, we live in an age when the activity, enterprize and liberality of or timid, or jiarsimonious. If we could be stationary, retaining the advantages which we at present possess, still our condition would be relatively deteriorated, by the rapid advances of those around us. We see and feel all this —we behold the exertions of other States, and their beneficial results, and we require similar efforts and consequences equally advantageous in our own. We overlook the inequality of the contest to w hich we subject our peojile. NO. 0. We forget that while we withhold, other Stales have freely lavished their treasures for the ac complishment oftliese grand objects that our citizens are compelled to labor with the means furnished by their own individual resources, while elsewhere the jiublic coffers have been freely oj ened for the accomplishment of pur poses not more important than those which we have stiff red to languish. I desire earnestly that our fellow-citizens should be awakened to a conviction of these truths; that the treasures of the State, and the credit of the State should be liberally applied in aid of the great works of internal improvement which are now in pro press, or in contemplation within our borders and that so we may accomplish the first in. dispensable requisite to the establishment of a direct foreign trade, facility of communication between the interior and the seaboard. When ; tliis is effected—when the rich products of the ; interior shall be met in abundance in our At iantic cities.they must find a market there, and : fit : it. Tl ey will do more. The sup. ip’ es which are necessary t<> the consumption oftho nterior will he also furnished. They w ! an vver the demand which will be made for them. Where capital is wanted, it will be found. r i hrse are laws ofcommeree, unceas ing in their operation : but they leave untouch, ed the question which chiefly interest us,as the 'advocates of a direct import trade. Who will ;furnish these supplies ! Will they come to us directly through the hands of otir own im porti: g merchants, or circuitously through (he agency of our Northern brethren? We have ! the answer in the experience of Lie past. Di rect cxportat.o i is in our hands, shuts little ! active capital is necessary to transfer the pro. ducts of our soil to the markets of Europe or of the North. The monied capital required in j this operation is chiefly that of the foreign 'purchaser or consignee. .Our inij orts as we have seen by the report of the comm ttee, are for this most part circuitous, and the reason is obvious; we have not the requisite monied capital. How shall we remedy this evil? Banks present one means. 1 speak of them as instruments of con nierce, and without any : connexion with those questions which now agitate the public mind. They cannot create capital, but they can concentrate it, render it • accessible to the demands of commerce, in crease its capacity of supplying them, and multiply it in the use. As such instruments they are all important in a competition with i other States who are availing themselves of the facilities which they furnish, to push their com mercial enterprises to a successful result. In such a contest they are to the merchant w hat ithe implements of war are to the soldier. Here again we encounter the want of cap tal w hich should furnish the specie basis in suffi cient proportions to give safety to their ope rations. If it be true that our domestic capi tals is for the most already invested, arid can not be diverted without injury, the required capital must come chiefly fiom abroad. Wc must explode the preposterous idea as unwor thy of the age in which we live, that foreign capital must be excluded from them. On the contrary we must invite it, by provisions which will secure to the foreign capitalist a liberal return for its use. If the State would ; interpose its credit in behalf these institutions | to the extent to which it may be necessary, and on such terms as w ould ensure the pubh'c from lo's. it w ould divide w ith him the benefits arising from its employment; and secure to our merchants promptly and in abundance, the capital necessary to the successful prose cution of a direct import trade. Let these objects be accomplished. Secure to our importing merchants the means of oh. taining a sufficient monied capital to enable them by direct importation to establish a mar ket of supply, in our seaports. Facilitate our interior communications by completing the various measures of internal improvement, w hicli are in progress, and such others as may he necessary, thus securing an easy and rapid transit from the mountains to the seaboard. Do more—seal; the mountain barrier which separate us fioin our Southern and Southwes tern brethren—let the rich products of their soil find ready access through our own State to an Atlantic market, wlreie they can receive in return the articles necessary for their own consumption. Let Georg abe to them w hat New-York by means of her grand cm al. is to that fertile and extensive region, with w hkh it communicates, and a flood of pros, tv tv will open upon us, which will baffle the anticipa tions of the most sanguine imag nation. For the accomplishment of stu h an oh", et, the soundest economy would authorise—nay, would require a liberal use oftbeev >d't of the Slate. The people of Georgia, whose iafolli. gence would enable them to see and appre ciate the benefits which would result to I item, would I doubt not, approve’ it I have no | personal interest in this matter beyond that o every other citizen of Georgia.
