It completely reveises the position of things, and establishes by unanswerable arguments aad illustrations, the fact that tbe grievances are all on the other s : de, and that the lor is of creation instead of the ladies, are the one's whose wrongs should be redressed. Oar lady rea ders,except the strong minded ones uf course, will doubtless bear witness to its truth, and while their tenderest sympathies are with their down trodden and oppressed sisters in New York they can but appreciate the humo'ous, and at tbe same time, eensible disposal of such a nonsensical subject.

They however, have presented no petition for redress, hav ing doubtless made up their minds to yield to an inevitable destiny. On the whole, the committee have concluded to recommend no measure, except that, as they have observed several instances in wbioh husband nnd wife her face beamed with a light which was not of earth.

The first term of this Institution, the present year, commenced on Mon day last, with a flattering prospect for large and interesting classes. Up to the present time, about fifty have been enrolled, and very few, if any of that number are from abroad. Within a few days, or a week, there will be, perhaps, one hundred or,more within the walls of the Institution. The efiforts that have been made by the friends of education, in this ecnnr.unity and neighborhood, to have a first class male and female college at this place, will no doubt be successful. Indeed, we consider tbe success of both our colleges as establish ed, and we look forward w-itb pride and pleasure to their future career of use fulness. Tbe interest, not only of this community, but of Cherokee Georgia, is, to a considerable extent, linked with these Institutions, and we must lose confidence in the intelligence and liber ality of our people, before we can be lieve that either of them will languish for want of patronage. More about the Elephant. The Editor of the Columbus Sun is after our Elephant again, with a sharp stick, or rather a long pale. He asks us “ if we really believe as we write, [that an Elephant's bead is better than none at all] why have we removed from sight not only the head, but the whole hide and hoofs of the ‘ h animal’ and run up the Stars and Stripes ?” The Editor of this paper refuses to say anything moro on the Elephant question, and as it is necessary that some one should say a word or two in defence of the hani- mal, “Our Ben” begs leave to say thiff the Elephant picture was placed at tbe editorial head of the Standard, that his appearance might serve as a warn ing to delinquent subscribers and ad vertisers—that if they did not respond to tbe repeated caHt, made through tbe columns of this paper, urging them to settle up their indebtedness, that they would hare a tough customer to deal with. As “Our Editor” could not enjoy the remarks made by several of the ed itorial fraternity, concerning tbe ham mafs “flopped ears’ 1 and “thick hide,” ordeis were .forthwith issued to have the a majority of the people. Your opinion is j ■•deep no doebt, from the newspaper com- mwnicationa written by the personal friends of Mr. Gardner, which here been qnite nu merous. A moi.ent's reflection wilt enable yon to see how easy it is for one special friend to write communications for different papers in the State, published in different sections thereof, whereby it would appear that tbe writer’s views bad many advocates, and that it might be the popular fooling If Mr. Gardner was the candidate of my party, no one would support b:m with mote alacrity than I would: yet without dispar agement to tbe claims of that gentleman, I conceive that when the people speak through their public meetings, it wilt appear that there in one who has higher claims upon the party than Mr. Gardner -I allude to the Hon. John II. Lnmpkin, onr present distin guished member of Congress from this dis trict. He is a man of sound judgement; and his success before tbe people in every race, es- lishes tbe fact that he is probably tbe papular man in the State. In tbe race Doct Miller was hie oppoaent, he re paired a majority of votes in every county in the district: and ia the last election he en tered tbe field with a Democratic majority of lees than three hundred, which he con tributed, more than all others, to run up to over three thousand. In fact, Mr. Editor, be is the people's man, for he is one of them: his sympathies are with the masses. I know of no man whos° abilities and habits better qualifies him for the Governorship than J. H. Lumpkin: his firmness, integrity and habits of industry in tbe discharge of his public duties, make him by far the most suitable man for that position, than any among those whose names have been urged for that office. Judge Lnmpkin is too well known to re quire any eulogy upon his services to the State and party, from me The Democracy ef Cherokee Georgia will expect to have the honor of presenting tbe next candidate for Governor. Every Democratic triumph in the State, for many years, must be attribu ted to tbe Cherokee Democracy : yet she bas never been permitted by the party in other sections, to present • candidate for tbo first office in the State. That act of jnstice bas already been deferred too long: it must be delayed no longer.. No man has ever represented a constituency possessing more fully their unbounded confidence, nor at tained • more rnviable popularity with those by whom be bss been so long known If tbe Democracy of Georgia wish to wit ness an unprecedented majority in Cberokee Georgia, just let them give us tbe Hon. Jno. II Lumpkin for onr standard bearer thro' the next Gubernatorial canvass. ETOWAn Wliat was the public verdict, when the talented Hamilton fell by the hand of Buir, and the lamented Ciiley by that of Graves! That verdict consigned both the victors in those fatal conflicts to comparative oblivion. The public, in this enlightened age, will not declare that man a hero, who for the sake of a mere pnnctUlto, sacrifices, his life, and perhaps the happiness of his family for all time. We do not fully endorse the maxim—Poe populi, vox Dei, but we believe that public sentimeut very scl dom, if ever, dissents from the plain pre cepts of Revelation—one of which is— “ thou shalt not kill.” The man who fearlessly encounters danger or opposition in the path of du ty—who ptefers to sacrifice his popular ity rather than his principles, will, soon er or later be honored by public confi dence and esteem. And as an evidence of the fact, nothing ever contributed more to the fame of Webster than his celebrated speech on the Fugitive Slave Law. Ho boldly asserted his convic tions, because lie “would rather be right than President”—and now his native State, while she opposes his views, hon ors his memory. It is altogether a mis take to suppose that the public places a highet estimate upon physical than up on moral courage. In this connection, we cannot refrain from presenting the views of a prominent man in Georgia, in reference to duelling. We differ from him politically, but con sider his sentiments on this subject for cible and well-timed. He says: <* I regard duelling a* no evidence of courage—no vindication of truth—and no teat of the trne character of • gentleman — I declare that whxt tbe taws of God and my native State unite in denouncing as mnrder, could give me no satisfaction to do, to at tempt, or to desire. This determination is bot strengthened, when the Contrary course involves tbe violation of my conscience and the hazard of my family.” Truth it Stranger thus Fiction I From a letter received by our oonnty- man, Mr. Robert G. Tomlin, we take the following extract. It is from a gentle man whose veracity for truth cannot be doubted: Bjrke Co., Jan. 31st, 1857. Me. It. G.
