cully ami excitement, misrepresentation may
delude, but the delusion is ever evanescent,
and the reward of the public servant is al
ways certain when his principles are correct
and his motives pure.
Os recent events in the State of Georgia,
it does not become me to speak; the more
particularly as I do not understand the pre
sent condition of popular opinion. It would
appear that at a moment,when the long pend
ing question between the Genera! and State
Governments, which has been the source of
so much discordant controversy, has been
satisfactorily settled by the administration, a
decision has been made against it; and yet
many of those who have just received marks
of the public favor, avowedly advocate and
stand pledged to sustain the principles which
govern that administration on the most im
portant topic on which it has been assailed.
I pray you, gentlemen, to accept my j
grateful acknowledgments for the flittering]
terms in which you have expressed the wish- j
es of my fellow citizens, and to excuse me to .
them for not availing myself of their kindness.
Your fellow citizen,
JOHN FORSYTH.
To Messrs. Campbell and others, Committee.

The Southern Recorder gives the watch
word out, stand up to your party —let not a
single man be otf his post. It taunts the
Union party, as breaking down under its
name of Union —and its friendship and sup
port of the principles of the administration—
and wonders what new name it will now
adopt, determining, however, on its own part,
that we shall still be known as the Van Burcn
party.
Well, we are willing and ready. Call our
party the Van Buren, Sub Treasury party:
and from the result of Messrs. Dawson’s and
Habersham’s election, you can have no ob
jection to being known, on your part, as the
Clay Bank Biddle party of Georgia. u-

IIORSE RACING.—TRAINING, ETC.
As the full races have commenced, it may
not be useless or uninteresting, lo a portion
of your readers, to give place occasionally
to an article upon the subject of training.—
Much attention has of late been given in
Georgia to the breeding of the blooded horse,
and it is believed that many more gentlemen
would turn their attention to that object, if
the expense and difficulty of training their
colts, and giving them reputation on the turf,
were not almost an insuperable obstacle.—
At present there are hut lew professional
trainers in the state, and the number of horses
to which they can attend being limited, it
follows that scarcely any person can get a
colt trained, except those whose racing stud
jusiilies the employment of a trainer. A
gentleman, who may breed only a single
blooded colt a year, finds it difiicult to get
him into a good stable to be trained; and if
he does, the expense of the training is so
great as to amount almost to a prohibition.
It requires at least eight weeks to put a colt
in order for running, and the usual terms at,
present, in Georgia, for training, are two dol
lars per day to the trainer, including the food
of the horse and attendants—the owner of
the horse furnishing a boy to ride and a man
to rub. The expense of training a colt,
therefore, for his first race, will not amount
to less than one hundred and fifty dollars;
and then he may not be in condition, or some
accident may happen to make his trial race
an imperfect one. It tviil become necessary
to ‘ train him on,’ so as to give him a fair j
chance to show whether he is a race horse
or not. li’ lie succeeds, the high price which
he will command, (from one to five thousand
dollars,) will abundantly remunerate his
owner for his expense find irouble, both in
breeding and training; but if he fails, then
his owner has paid ‘ too dear for the whis
tle,’ worth at least but little. This great ex
pense, and still greater uncertainty of result,
nre sufficient to deter many from breeding
blooded stock, either as a matter of profit or
pleasure. Many a farmer would provide
himself with one or two good brood mares
and raise blooded colts, if, when they come
of age, they could he trained and run at an
expense of forty or fifty dollars. He would
be willing to pay a reasonable price to ascer
tain the capacities of his colts, in anticipation
of a rich, honest reward, either in money or
pleasure, or both, if they turned out well.
The following remarks, upon the subject
of training, from a journal of high authority,
are full of sound practical sense, and will be
found useful to persons engaged in preparing
blood horses for the turf.
A YOUNG TURF MAN.
From the Baltimore Turf Register.
‘ T 1 le chariot races of the ancients seem
lo have had little object in view except
amusement, nor indeed lias racing been con
sidered a practice as combining great utility,
with very interesting amusement, any where
but in England, where the object has been
to improve the useful qualities of the noble
animal, the horse, and to combine fleetness
with strength, including in the latter quality
what is technically called bottom , or the en
durance of great exertion, long continued,
without being exhausted. These qualities
are given to the individual animal by train
ing ; they are given to a breed of animals by
a proper selection of the parents. Training
consists in skilful feeding, skilful exercise,and
scientific attention to the state of the stom
ach, the bowels and the skin. The object of
training, is to get rid of superfluous fat and
fleshiness, so that tlie horse shall have less
weight upon his muscles, and less obstruction
to his muscular movements. Trainers of
horses, who are ignorant of animal economy,
have a great many nostrums to produce,
they know not how, some great and benefi
cial eflect upon the horse; those who are
acquainted with the medical and physiolo
gical principles of the animal economy, have
no nostrums, no specifics, no secrets. Tlio
first object is to get rid of a needless quantity
ot fluid in the system, and a needless quan
tity oi tat, which produce, when exercise is
violent, much laboring in the lungs, and an
oppression of the breath, and much frothing
in sweating. Till this is gotten rid of, the
horse is in bad order. Ihe obvious means
are, first, to exhibit, at intervals of about fmr
days, three doses of purging physic, that
shall operate moderately, not violently, on
the bowels; tor great irritation of the trow
els produces great muscular debility, as most
people know by their own experience. The
object is to carry of}’ superfluous matter gru
dually, and not by excitement, to produce se- \
cretions anil ejections of what is recessary to
nutriment and to health. Having interposed,
for about a fortnight, alternate physic and
moderate exercise, the system of feeding be
gins. The principles are, to give, firsts as
much food as the horse can easily digest, and
no more. Too much in quantity injures the
tone of the stomach and lungs. No animal
can breathe freely with an overloaded stom
ach. Second, to give hard and solid food,
not watery, washy food. But that solid food
must be broken so as to facilitate digestion,
otherwise it irritates the stomach and bowels,
without producing healthy nutriment. Per
haps two thirds dry oats and one third bruis
ed corn would be good feed ; to accompany
this with regular exercise daily, and daily
increasing it, without producing permanent
languor and fatigue. The exercise ought to
be of precisely the same kind as that which
is meant to be the final object and business
of the horse. Fourth, to continue the exer-
cise til! the horse is able to bear great exer
tion, without exhibiting any white or frothy
.sweat, and merely a moderate moisture of
] the skin. Fifth, the great object of attention
wine whether any thing is wrong
or not, u the skin. If Ins blood he feverish, if his
loud !>j to,* much or too scanty, if his exer
c.se be too much or 100 little, his skin will
• how it. Great attention, therefire, is to be
paui to washing the legs and feet, to curry
ing and brushing the skin, so as to keep it
constantly clean under the hair, and in the
best perspirable order; nor is a horse well
trained unless his skin and hair be bright and
;glossy, and the hair lies close and evenly on
the skin without stating; norjuriless the skin
be limber and moveable when pinched; nor
is training complete while any white frothy
sweat appears, however hard the animal may
be pushed. Sixth, the horse is to be kept in
a coo! airy stable, scrupulously clean ; nor is
lie to be loaded with blankets oil his body;
no more should be used than is necessary to
prevent the effects of too rapid cooling, and
oi currents of air. A man of common sense
as a groom will soon reman* what kind and
what quantity of food and exercise is neces
sary to produce this desirable appearance in
a horse. By regular exercise, increased as
his strength increases, and as custom will
enable him, the horse will, in the course of
two or three months, acquire the utmost de
gree of muscular strength and vigor that
Ills frame will admit of.
Consolation. —The Boston Express gives
the following humorous anecdote :
• V* bile Gen. Green, of Rhode Island, was
independent of all fanatics, he had a capital
knack ol soothing the disappointment of beat
en candidates, and on such occasions used to
tell a favorite story in a style of inimitable bu
rn r, which reconciled every body to the loss
oi office. We can give nothing of iis spirit,
merely the outline. A field slave in the South,
to whom meat was a rare blessing, one day
found in his trap a plump rabbit. He took
bun out alive, held him under his arm, patted
him,and began to speculate upon his qualities:
‘Oh how fat! berry lilt! the fattest I ever
did see. Let me see how I cook him. I
roast him. No, he so fat he lose all he
grease. I fry him. Ay, yes, he so berry
fat he fry himself; golly! how fat he be!
No, I wont fry him, I stew him.’ The
thought of the savory stew made the negro
tbrget himself, and in spreading out the feast
in his imagination, his arm relaxed, when
off hopped the rabbit, and squatting at a
goodly distance, he eyed his late owner with
cool composure.
The negro knew there was an end to the
matter, and summoning up all his philosophy
he thus addressed the rabbit, shaking his fist
at him, ‘ You long-eared, white-whiskered,
red-eyed, son of a b h, you no so berry
d—n fat alter all!”
Old law of Courtship , Oct. 27, 1647. —The
General Court enact, ‘ that if any young man
attempt to address a young woman, without
the consent of her parents or the County
Court! he shall be fined 51. for the first of
fence, 10/. for lhe second, and imprisonment
for the third.’ Sept. 11, 1549, Matthew
Stanley was tried for drawing the affections
of John Tarbox’s daughter, without the con
sent of her parents. He was fined 51. —fees
2s. Or/., and 6s. for three days attendance by
the parents. 4 ln the same month, three
married women were fined ss. apiece for
scolding.’ Quere. What would, or should
have been the penally for an unmarried wo
man for the same offence.— Salem Gazette.
A peculiar slate of mind. —A prisoner who
had just received sentence for two years, be
fore the Boston Municipal Court, thus ad
dressed the judge:
‘ I tnink my sentence is peculiarly and un
justly severe, considering the comparative
slight moral turpitude of m3’ offence. What
have I done, more than to take fifteen dol
lars worth of another man’s property, when
l was in a peculiar state of mind ? Ido not
rise, however, to ask you to change my sen
tence, but only to express a hope that your
official anti mortal career may terminate be
fore my sentence expires; and when your
career does terminate, I hope you will go
where Judge Jeffrey went before you, and
he didn’t go to Heaven hy a cl—d sight.’
The Irish Howl. —Baron Smith thus beau
tifully describes that mournful cry peculiar to
Irelaud,denominated the Irish Howl :—‘‘Call
it wild and dismal, if you please, but do not
stigmatize it with the epithet of‘howl.’—
When its roughness, and chromatic or other
discords, are softened by distance, and, as it
were, diluted in the open air, it comes with
a dying fall of inexpressible plaintiveness up
on the ear. It is, I confess, an echo, a para
phrase of the world’s lament; but, on the
score of sweetness, it is an exception to my
dislike of copies. It is a song of this world
sadly floating to another, or a song of the
other worlds addressed by Grief to this.
Some of its melancholy cadences resemble
those of drowsy nurse’s lullaby; and thus we
may be said, in Ireland, to enter on and re
tire from life in a song.
ITEMS.
Short and Sioer.t. —A correspondent in
Texas writes as follows: —‘ You wish to
know all the news. Ail lean tell is this:—
Lamar is to be President, and I am married.’
Mr. Webster and the Presidency. —In a re
cent article, we stated that Mr. Webster of]
Massachusetts had withdrawn his name as a ]
candidate for the Presidency of the Union.
We ptedicated our statement on an article in
the Boston Atlas, which we presumed was
4 by authority.’ From subsequent numbers
of that paper we learn that Mr. Webster was
not consulted,aad that consequently he stands
in the same relation to the vdiigs, as a can
didate for nomination, as be-4id before. We
hope our friends will agree upon something,
sometime or other.—W. T. Sun.
Statistics qf*Missouri. —ln 1836 the popu
lation of Missouri was known to be 244,208.
The aggregate vote for Governor that year
amounted to 27,372, which was about one in
nine of the population. The average num
ber of votes polled was, at the recent gene
ral election, 40,268 ; and this, upon the same
ratio of one vote for nine inhabitants, gives
352.000 as the present population of Missou
ri, being an estimated increase of 113,000 in
two years.
A Yankee Motion. —An order has been gi
ven to Mr. Goodyear, by a shrewd Yankee
pedlar, for an India Rubber Sea Serpent of
enormous dimensions, yet the whole affair
will be so compact that it may be tied up in a
silk handkerchief.
A Despatch. —The Yankees do not waste
time in words, as the following despatch from
an American General to ttie Secretary at

seU- —We may as well cut. I can’t lick the
Indians , no how yon can He it.’

UTILITY OF DENTAL SURGERY.
IF the value of any science is to be estimated by its
comparative utility, Dental Surgery will hoid a
distinguished place in the esteem of mankind. When
we consider the extensive iniiuence which vlie state of
the Teeth at all times exerts upon the functions of the
stomach, the organs of digestion, and the general
health of the system, the subject rises in importance,
and assumes a character and a consequence of the
most essential interest. Fot,it is now conceded by
the most eminent pathologists, that tiunv of die most
inveterate, appalling and f*ai diseases which scourge
the human family, have their inception in a neglected
state of the teeth—such as Tic Douloureux, Dyspep
sia, Caacrum Oris, and even Phthisis Pulmonalis,
which could be easily checked, and their baneful ef
fects be prevented by the timely, proper and simple
remedy, of a dental operaison judiciously performed.
The good order and neat condition of the Teeth has
long since been a desirable object by all who admire
pleasantm-ss of breath, and beauty of appearance.'—
Solomon, in complimenting an illustrious woman, and ;
in admiration of ihose charms conferred by a beautiful !
set of Teeth, says: ‘ Your teeth are like a flock of
sheep, that are even shorn, which come up from the
washing ; whereof every one bear twins, and none are
barren among them ;’ at once conveying to us an
idea of a full and perfect set of regular, even and clean
Teeth, by a figure as delicate, chaste and lovely as
any that the customs or peculiarities of that pasiorul
people c uld afford. The poets of India occasionally
delight to refer to the beauty and cleanliness of the
Teeth, in mast pleasing images, as, ‘ The cunda blos
som yields to the whiteness of the Teelh ; speak but
one mild word, and the rays of thy sparkling teeth will
dispel the gloom of mv fears.’ Ovid recommends, as
a remedy against love, to make her smile who has
bad Teeth. We find Pilla-lius joking a superannuated
coquette, in saying to her that ‘ for the price of her hair,
with that of her paint, her wax, her honey, and her
Te- th, she might, have bought an entire mask.’ When
Julia presented herself to Manlius, she shone by a
fl nvery mouth. She doubtless possessed ihose Teeth
of snow, so sur.g by the favorite of the muses ; or that
row of pearls so extolled by Lucian, the lustre of which
was esteemed above that of the finest marble of Pana.
Tn most parts of the Southern States, with the excep
tion of some of the largest cities. Dental Surgery is
very little understood In some of our large towns j
we have probably as ingenious and intelligent Surgeon ;
Dentists as are to be found in the oldest cities on the
globe—rnen who are respectable for their litcrarv,
scientific and professional acquirements. It is to be
regretted that our subject has been neglected by a
great proportion of the Medical Faculty. At present
a spirit of inquiry is abroad, and I cannot but antici
pate a period when, upon this subject, prejudices shall
be removed. ma!-pradices corrected, the darkness of
ignorance be dispelled, and, commensurate with the
talents and worth of many of its possessors, its exten
sive bearing upon health, and its happy influence upon
society, assume a correspondent rank among the Me- :
dical Sciences. J. L. STEPHENS.

A CARD.
THE undersigned will, if not providentially pre
vented, be in Columbus, Georgia, on the first
Monday in NOVEMBER, for the purpose of dis
seminating a knowledge of ENGLISH GRAM
MAR, on a plan entirely his own, by which the at
tentive Student may become a competent or practical
Grammarian in twenty days, and at. the inconsidera
ble expense of fifteen and dlars. The accompanying
certificates of Rev. Thos. Henderson, Superintend
ant of the Choctaw Academy, and of Hon. Richard
M. Johnson, Vice President of the United States, it
is hoped, will at least give the undersigned an oppor
tunity to test his skill in this indispensable branch of
education. HORACE T. N. BENEDICT.

- Choctaw Academy, Ky., Sept. 18, IS3S.
Dr. H. T. N. Benedict, Dear Sir—We, the un
dersigned, from twenty years’ knowledge of your supe
rior skill in teaching English Grammar , have no hesi
tation in saying, that your success in this state, in im
parting a thorough and well grounded knowledge of
that useful science, has not been surpassed, nor, in
deed, equalled, by any other teacher. We consider
your plan and system of teaching better calculated to
make a deep and lasting impression on the yorthfu)
mind, than any other with which we are acquainted.
Yours, most respectfully,
RH. M. JOHNSON,
THOMAS HENDERSON,
Supt. Choctaw Academy.
P. S.—As you intend to make a Southern tour, we
take pleasure in recommending you. in the highest
terms, to any person who may wish to employ you as
a teacher of Grammar.
THOS. HENDERSON,
RII. M. JOHNSON.
As Dr. 11. T. N. Benedict has determined to travel
South, and as he is known to me personally, and lives
in my neighborhood, I feel it my duty to recommend
him to my fellow citizens, as a man of science and
great respectability, and in whom confidence may be
plac and. I, therefore, recommend him to the confidence
and friendship of my fellow citizens wherever he may
travel. RH. M. JOHNSON.
