This knov.’lcdga of oneself (a tiling very
difficult to bo attained):.-? never to be acqui
red by the help of other?; nor can wo, indeed,
dapenti upon out own word or opinion in the
case—-for this often linn s is short-sighted; it
discovers not all that is to be seen; and makes
4 false report of what it discovers, like a bri
bed or treacherous Witness, that shutilcs in
!i!3 evidence, and is afraid to speak out. Nor
can we form a judgement from any single
action; for tius m iv eotno from a man without,
being intended, or so much as thought oi;
it may be a sudden push upon an unusual,
pressing occasion—the work of necessity or
chance—a lucky hit or sudden sally—and,
owing to heat or passion—!.- one, to all of
these, rather than to the man himself, end,
. herefore, wo can fix nz character from a
thing which is not of our own growth. One
t ourag. ous action no more proves a man brave,
nor one act of justice iust, than the breadth
ami depth of a river, and the strength of its
current are to be taken from a sudden acci
dental flood, when ailthc neighboring brooks
empty themselves into it, ami swell it above
its banks. Vice itself has sometimes put men
upon doing very good things —so extremely
nice a thing it is to know men truly. We
can learn nothing to the purpose by all the
outward appendages of the man, his employ
ments, preferments, honors, riches, birth,
good acceptance, and general applause, nor
yet by his deportment when he appears a
tiroad; for there the man plays in check, stands
upon his guard, aud every motion is with re
serve and constraint. Fear, and shame, and
ambition, and a thousand other passions, put
him upon playing the part you see then
acted. To know him thoroughly, you must
follow into his closet, see him in his dressing
room, and in liis cvery-dav garb. He is of
tentimes quite another thing at heme than
what he appears in the street, at court, or on
the exchange—one sort of man to strangers,
and another to his own family. When he
goes out of liis house, he dresses for the stage,
and the farce begins; you can have no stress
upon what you see of him there : this is not
the man,' but the character he sets upon him
self to maintain; and you will nr*, er know any
thing of him till you make a dilFcrcncc be
tween the person of the eftmedian that plays,
and the person represented by him. The on
ly way to arrive at self-krfo wedge, is by a
true, Jong, constant study of oneself. No
motion of a man’s mind must escape his no
tice; he must view himself near; must he c
tcrnally prying, hauling, pressing, probing,
nay pinching himself to the quick; for there
are many vices in ns that lurk close and
lie deep; and we know nothing of thorn,
because we do not take the pairis to search
far enough and ferret them out.—Char

So the bill passed.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
November 16, 1831.
Mr. Oliver said lie would not have troubled
the house again, but for the zeal with which
the gentleman from Franklin had expressed
his views, lie had argued Mic question with
very great zeal, indeed, and no doubt, to liis
own mind, with very great justice. Mr. O.
said liis calculation was :.iade on these sup
positions • —that the Inferior Court should
levy an extra tax to pay jurors : That the
whole venire would attend on the first day of
he court—and of course receive one day’s
pay ; that those who arc retained should re
ceive their regular pay. Then he had al
lowed for the expense of collecting the extra
tax—iho bailiffs’ fees, and the county treasu
rer's foes on his disbursement. Putting all
these together he got the sum of 8750, on the
plan of paying jurors hv an extra tax. To
this plan he was opposed altogether; because
it would require more money than is actually
requisite for the payment of jurors. It was
he thought system got up to feed public offi
cers. If you levy an extra tax, you must add
15 per cent to cover the cost of collection.—
Is it nut rather farcical to go to a man and
ask him to pay a tax of 81, with the prospect
of liis getting it back again, at the end of
some 12 mouths, with 15 per cent discount,
and the loss of interest too 1 Is this a sys
tem by which to compensate jurors ? It look
ed to him very much like the Tariff System,
which some gentlemen approve of because,
as they say, we get our goods cheaper—and
therefore we suffer no injuiy ; But * feci its
cfiect in another way—-we feel it when we
coinc to sellour cotton. Just so it is with this
business. If, sir, the juries could receive the
amount already provided by law—if there
were no incans of depriving them of their
foes—the compensation would be ample.
fo far as hU acqi . intance extended jurors
were satisfied witii the provisions of the law
of last year. Tliat they should receive the
lull benefit of these provisions was t!te sole
object of bis bilk
Mr. Young said he did not rise to go into
a discussion of (Re subject; hut simply to
remind the house, that, last year, when the
bill, now sought to be amended, wa* before
the house, its friends w re distinctly told that
it would not answer the purposes intended.
I j’tat prophesy has been verified by the event.
And now, there is danger that the mu/ttermay
be made worse, by the variety of propositions
lielore us. That tins result tunv not happen—
• lest we may legislate on the subject and do
no good, he-said, he would move that the com
utittec rise and report progress, ajid ask leave
to sit again.
Air. Bates moved that the committee rise
and report, agreement to the bill without
auienunieirt.
Air. llopkins said lie wisltcd it to lie dis
tinctly understood, that he was opposed tc the
compensation of grand and petit jurors in
every shape and form. There are certain
duties which all citizens are bound to per
form, in return for the protection of their
rights and privileges under the laws of the
county ; and the duties of jurors lie held to be
ot this sort. He cared not for the effeet the
, expression of these opinions might have on
! him at home. He cared not * whether it
1 "as popular or unpopular. It was his consci
entious opinion, and would hence .feel him
sell bound to vote against all |>ropositicns for
the compensation of jurors. Why, sir, do you
not provide for the compensation of your cit
izens lor the performance of military duty 1
I’hat duty is equally arduous. It is just as ne
cessary, for the good ordt r of society, that the
disputes of our citizens about their rights,
should be fnirip settled, as that the country
should be defended. As regarded his coun
ty ‘he law of the lust session was a poor way
to compensate jurors. There wore not often
more than 5 or G cases to be tried. He would
note vote for the repeal of the law of tiie last
session because it lessened the fees of at
torneys ; but because it put it in the power
ot attorneys to represent to their clients that
the plaintiff must pay so much more for iiav
itig his business attended to. Few persons
would take the trouble to examine the law,
and hence might be charged 5, 10 or 20 dol
lars mote than before. In this matter the
poor, ho thought, had an equal inter est with
the rich. I hey have gone rally as much con
tention at law, and therefore should have no
exclusive privileges in this regard. And he
would not, in all cases, have jurors come up to
the discharge of their duties influenced by
the prospect of reward, but free and untram,
oiled, to decide between their fellow citizens,
ife repeated, that he was opposed to the com
pensation of jurors—and was perfectly willing
to repeal the last law on the subject, and thus
settle a question which, he believed, would
never have been stirred but for political pur
poses.
Some conversation took place between
Messrs. Hudson, Bates, Ryan, Young, Oliver,
Haralson, and Merriweth’er, as to "the best
mode of proceeding, when the- question was
taken on Mr. Bates’ motion and carried.
The report of tlie committee of the whole
was laid on tin table.
