Our Lre’heivn of the Providence Plnn -1 aliens, and many others, have been wont io claim for Roger Williams, the credit of having been in advance of the age in which lie lived, as to toleration and otiier civil or political virtues. To them is in scribed a Life of the founder of Rhode Isl and, by Professor Knowles ofthe Newton Theological Institution. We were note, ware that so many meferialsfor it biogra pher existed. Hr. Belknap intended to write a life of Roger Williams, as did also the Rev. Mr. Greenwood, and the Laur eate Robert Southey. We can trake hut a lean extract. Williams arrived in New-England when about thirty.two years of age. It is now only from tradition that he was a native -of Wales, and it lias b en advanced upon no very solid grounds, that he wn« <-on. -nected by affinity with Oliver Cromwell. Williams himself only alludes to tin in: i macy witli the Protector, and speaks of *•* a close conference with Oliver.” It is said that Sir Edward Coke obser ved a bov one day during public worship taking notes of the discourse; on over looking which, he was so impressed with the youth’s talents that he placed him at the University ofOxford. He afterwards commenced the si tidy o( the law, hut The -ologv was more to his taste, an I he recei ved Episcopal orders, but retired to A merica from the persecution of the estab lished Church. Tlvse are current tradi tions in Rhode Island, concerning Roger Williams. He arrived in February, 1630, and was u*oon after invited to become an assistant t aoher in a church at Salem. Having commenced this dmv, the evil “magistra tes put forth their coercive power.” be cause he had refused to join a congrega tion in Boston, which had net publicly re pented of iis communion with the churches («f England. It was charged upon him, :moreover, that he had declared a I reach of the Sabbath to be no proper subject for the magistracy to punish. Prehaps he felt so well convinced of the latter propo sition, that ho did not so scrupulously weigh the reasons for doing what was ■charged against him in the first accusa tion. He afterwards retired to Plymouth, where, as at Salem, he was much esteem ed and became an assistant pas or. Go vernor Winthrop has recorded ins own visit, with a few friends, to Plymouth, thus; rament, and in the afternoon Mr. Roger Williams to their custom) pro pounded a question, to which the pastor, Mr. Smith, spoke briefly; then Mr. Wil liams prophesied; and after the Governor of Plymouth spoke to the question ; after him, the elder, then some two or three more of the congregation. Then the el der desired the Governor of Massachusetts -and Mr. Wilson to speak to it, which they did. When this was ended, the deacon, Mr. Fuller, put the congregation in mind of the duty of contribution, whereupon the Governor and all the rest went down to the deacon’s seat, and put in the box. At Ply month, Mr. Williams had fre quent opportunities of seeing tlie Indians, nnd he also made excursions into their set tlemenfs, learning their language and cus toms, to qualify himself to promote their •welfare. He remained there two years when he accepted an invitation to return to Salem, whither some of his church fol lowed him. The ministers in the Bav, in these good old times, met of en at one of their houses in course, to debate questions of moment. At this, Williams took of fance, lest it should grow to a presbytery. The Governor and Assistants, also took offence at a treatise written by him, and ordered that he should be “ con vented at v the next Court.” He had, it seems, „ charged the giave and learned King Janies 1. with having told a solem public lie, because in his patent he blessed God that he was the first Christian Prince that had discovered this land; 2d. with bias phemv for csdling Europe, Christendom, and 3d. with applying to King Charles, three places in the Revelations.” Wil. liams, according to Winthrop, appeared penitent, and gave satisfaction to loyalty L-offering his book to be burnt. It has bees said that he preached on the use of veils |>y females, and insisted that | they should wear them in religious assern | hlifs. I his it is said was rather to please | tiis colleague than for any scruple of his i ovvn - L.liot and Cuauncy preached ve ■| hernently against wigs, and in 1049, the i magistrates signed a protest against the i custom among men, of wearing long hair, ’ and requested the clergy !o preach a gainst it “as a thing unmanly and uncivil, whereby men do deform themselves and off. - id sober and modest men, and do cor. I rup f good manners*” Williams was summoned to the Court to j answer for theological and other opinions, | j and for refusing to take a prescribed oath, ! j and in consequence the Court refused a j Salem petition for land on Marblehead j ne k, “iheir deputies were not received | till they should give satisfaction about ! the other matter.” Williams somewhat j hastily insisted that the church in Salem should not commune with the others. Af ter a dispute in Court upon the obnoxious points, he was ordered, or sentenced, to depart within six weeks from the colony. : Neal says, that “the whole town of Salem was in an uproar, for he was esteemed an honest, disinterested man and of popular talents in the pulpit.” The Governor and Court had taken measures to send h'm to England, wh. n Williams suddenly ! disappeared. He was probably aware of the plan of sending himto England,andsoughi aquiet I ret i eat about Narraganset Bav. It was in the middle of winter, 1635,that ho left his fhmilv, consisting of his wife and two - 7 children, the eldest about two years of; of age, the youngest but three months. | Freeborn was the name oft his youngest child, which was named after the fashion ; ofthe age. The first three childen christ ened in the Boston church were named i soy. Rr'ismipenee, nnd Pity. Liberty of conscience was a portent in ! that age. One sin, (tts it was consider. ; ed) all men hated too much to practice— toleration. Baxter, atnan noted formed, oration, said “1 abhor unlimited liberty, or toleration of all.” “Toleration, said Edwards, “will make the kingdom a cha os, a Babel, another Amsterdam, a So dom, tin Egypt, a Babylon, ft is a most transcendent, catholic, and fundamental evil.” The Rev. Mr. Ward wrote, “He 1 that is willing to tolerate any religion but | his own, is not sincere in it,” and this was 1 the common axiom ofthe age. Williams ! was the apostle, almost the martvr, of tol- j oration; and he was banished like Arts- : | tides. He was righ', but the Pilgrims were sincere. He first settled at Seekonk, where lie wasted by the ravens, as he called the Indians— i “In wilderness, in great distress, These ravens have fed me.” But finding that he was still within the limits of Massachusetts, he embarked in a canoe, with five others, and went down j the stream. At a ht'te cove, near India Point, they were saluted by a company of Indians, with the usual What cheer? \ They proceeded round India Point, and : Fox Point, and went up the river, near to the month of Moshassuck river, and land ed near a spring, which remains to this dav. Here commenced a settlement, to j which the piety of Williams gave the ! name Providence. Now was the time I when he found the advantage of having | j made friends among the Indians. He re- i ■ ceived a grant of land fiom the Narra- j | ganset sachems, “in consideration of the ; ; many kindness he had done for them.” : | The lands thus ceded he conveyed to ; twelve men, for he desired not, like Penn, I to be the proprietary of a colony. He chose to have ids Plantation a pure demo : eracy, as well as “a refuge for ail sorts of | consciences.” He received nothing from ! Ids twelve associates fur the grant. His family were now dependent on his labor for support. He was very poor. The following circumstance he records of ! Winslow. “It pleased the Father ofSpi. j rits to touch many hearts dear to him with | many relentings; amongst, which that ; great and pious soul, Mr. Winslow' meit j ed, and kindly visited me at Providence, and put a piece of gold in the hands of my wife for our supply.” In the course of two years several others came to the co ; lony, which was also increased by emi -1 grants from Europe. The Constitution was as “brief as the : posy of a ring.” “We whose names are underwritten, being desirous to inhabit the town of Pro vidence, do promise to submit oursel ves, in active, or passive obedience to all such orders or agreements, as shall be made for public good of the body in an orderly way, by the major consent of the present inhabitants, masters of familes, incorporated together into a township, and such others whom they shall admit unto the same, only in civil things .” The origin of Rome was not half so respectable. The magistrates of Massnch’ts selected the aid ofWilliams in preventinga league against that colony: by thePequods, Nar. ragansetts, &c. which he performed, and i afterwards he did a similar service. He ’ 1 also entertained the General and officets, w hen on a march gainst the Pequods. : But he was ever more forgetful of mju t ries than of benefits. These services AUGUSTA, GA. SATURDAY AIORMXG, OCTOBER 11, 1831. with the Indians were important, and it was moved in Council to rescind the order for his banishment, and to honor him with some mark of favor. He himself says it was hindered by one “who never promo fed the liberty of other men's conscien | ces.” The temper of Massachusetts was not very paternal towards his settlement, ; and in 1637 a law was passed, entirely prohibiting the inhabithants thereof from coming to the colony. Before this, ma ny articles of necessity, or great conve nience, used to come from Boston. The early written memorials, show a ! great scarcity of paper, and the first wri tings are on little scraps, and very close. There was not enough in the colony for a modern sermon or Constitution. In 1633, Mr. Williams’first son was born, whom lie called Providence. Meet ings were held for religious exercises on Sundays and at other times. Mr. Wil liams it is supposed preached often, though there was at first no regularly organized i church. His mind now inclined to the principle sos the Baptists, and he formed a church, with others. One ofthe! r num ber was s lected to baptise him, and he then baptised all the others. There is an cient authority tor laymen to baptise in I cas (, s of extremity. Tints was founded the first Baptist church in America, and the second in the. British Empire. In a few months lie left the church for reasons that do not very clearly appear, i but it has been said that he doubted the va lidity of the baptism which he hud recei ved. The tranquillity of the town was early disturbed by disputed boundaries, that 1 fruitful subject of litigation in large com munities, and of broils in small. The ! parties came armed into the field, but Wil. liams contrived to pacify them. In 1642, a committee was appointed at ! : an assembly in Newport, to procure a i charter, and Williams was sent to En- I gland on that important mission. On the voyage, which was probably in j those days long enough, he wrote Ins “ Key to the Indian languages.” But he was never idle; his own words are: “one grain of time’s inestimable sand, is worth a golden mountain.” Me arrived ; when the king bad fled from London, and : l the Parliament performed both executive i I and legislative functions. One of the ex- j ecutive was to make war upon the K ng. The Parliament were willing to conciliate favor in America, and the Commons pas sed a memorable resolve, exempting, in | favor of New-England, its impoits and j exports from customs, subsidy oi taxa tion. By the aid of Sir Henry Vane, | Williams early obtained the Charter, and 1 in the autumn of 1644, he landed at Bos- i ton ; being emboldened to make free with ; the interdicted soil, by a letter from seve. ral noblemen and members of Parliament, i r commending more fraternity of let'ling. I - At Providence he was received with joy. 1 But in a few years he had to go again : to England, for the confirmation of Ids I charter, which had been encroached up on hv another. Though he had not been paid for his former agency, he sold his , house at Naraganset to supply funds for j the voyage. He succeeded in his mission, and while he continued in England found ( a steady friend in Sir H. Vane, from i whose mansion he elated some of his let- 1 ters. He provided for his own support; ‘ lie says. “ It pleased the Lord to call me lor some time, and with some persons, to ! j practice the Hebrew, the Greek, Latin, s French, and Dutch. The Secretary of j the Council, Mr. Milton, [the Poet] for i my Dutch to him, rwad me many more 1 languages.” t On his return he landed again at Bos- 1 ton, having obtained an order from the 1 Council, requiring the government of 1 Massachusetts to allow him to land or cm. bark there. When the Quakers arrived in Boston, , their books were seized and burnt, and , they themselves were imprisoned and ban- , ished ; severe laws were enacted against ■ them. A penalty of £ 100 was laid on , masters of vessels for bringing a known, ■ Quaker ; and the Quaker himself was or- 1 dered to the House of Correction, and to 1 be whipped, and to be kept to hard labor til transported. All persons harboring ! Quakers, weie liable to a fine of forty ' shillings an hour for their hospitality, and ( on subsequent convictions to loose their , ears, and have their tongues bored with , a red hot iron. Every convert had the , same punishment. Williams willingly t received the Quakers, but he had a con- ] troversv with them, which he p.oposed i to hold while George Fox was in Rhode 1 Island, and he gave a polemical challenge ] to engage at Newport. Such debates are not favorable to truth j or Christianity ; men dispute rather for , victory. The debate was according to his account disorderly, and it lasted three days. He was then seventy.three years of age, and rowed himself to Newport, thirty miles, where he arrived at midnight before the discussion. He died in his S4th year, in honorable poverty, and was buried near the spot where he landed. His printed works are— I. “K«y to the Indian Languages.” &c. 2. “The Bloody Tenet of Persecution for Cause of Conscience, discussed in a Conference between Truth and Peace,” &c. ( 1 his has ability, learning, and elo quence. A reply was written by Mr. Cotton, called “The Bloody Tenet wash ed, and made white in the Blood oft lie • i Lamb.'’ &c., and to this Williams made a rejoinder, or 3. “The Bloody Tenet made yet more Bloody, by Mr. Cotton’s endeavor to wash it,” &c. 4. “Tl ie Hireling Ministry none of, Christ’s &c. 5. “George Fox digged out of his Bur rowes, or an Offer of Disputation on 14 Proposals,” &l*. &c.

In the counties of Bryan, Burke, Clark, Cotuoioin, Greene, Jefferson, Lincoln, Musco gee, and Putnam, the State Rights ticket has sue- 1 ceeded. In the counties of Monroe and Warren ' the delegations are UiVided. As the Congressional returns received o fir ate from some of the prin cipal Slate Rights counties, it is placed beyond ( any doubt, that die Union ticket lot Congress is elected by a large majority. We It ave been informed ihat the Union ticker : i has succeeded in Houston, Jasper, Jones, and : Wasiiington, and the State Rights in Scnven and ' Laurens. ( j Th"- MilLdgaviiL Stai r Rights’ Advocate, of last Wednesday, contains the following notice of our dai- , , ly paper : | , “ The Georgia Constitutionalist R now printed t daily. It is a verv neat she t, and we doubt not j r that the business men of Augusta will amply re- i y numerate the enterprising proprietor for his ex- r ertions. We like to see enterurise rewarded j although it be exhibited in apolitical opponent.” ; 1 We present our thanks to !he editor of th? State s R-ghts’ Advocate for his kind wish s ; such feelings f show that mm’s minds are not always biassed by 1 party rancour, and that political contests can be car- c ri d on, without involving in th in thos=> smtim -nts j a which men of liberal and generous dispositions ent =r- ; tain towards each oth r, however opposed may b ■ in th ir political principles, and however ac'ive j th y may be against ach olh -r. in obtaining a politi- c cal triuAiph. Politics overbad such an influence! over us, as to crsale within us a single particle of ill- j will against an opponent: and we h ive had, and have i 11 . t still, political opponents, for whom we would make any sacrifice for th dr individual we lfare. The wish- * es of the editor of the Advocate, are reciprocal d by us ; and if ail oar political contests were conduct d with the becoming spirit evinced in th .- above notice of our daily paper we would not hav ■ to lam >nt the evils which our el-ctions produce, and which, unfo: - - j lunaHy, will always happen, unless poor human na ture changes. We will -unbrace this opportunity to observ”, that several of our suscribers, since th 1 termination of the | ' elections have thought proper to withdraw th imam -s j ‘ from our subscription list. Th y have act d, no j ! doubt, according to their views of political duty to | 1 their own party. Th y will, nevTthd’ss, receive , c our thanks for the support tlv y have previously ex- i t nd d to us ; and th -y may rest assured, that we j still entertain for them the same good will and res- i t pect, which we always had for th ru. But h y may i rest assured also, that no private consideration can ! ever make us swerve from our duty as public jour- j 1 nalists ; that no privat= consideration can induce us i to sacrifice our political principles, or to betray the; trust which th; supporters of our paper expect will b? discharg -d faithfully, ind prudently, and to the j I best of oar abilities. t In preceding columns will h ■ found an article, und’r | s the title of Western Trade, to which we add the fol- i lowing remarks. > r A spirit of enterprise has arisen in the South and ! South Western sections of the Union, which must ! ultimately produce the most beneficial results ; and I if tbs plans in contemplation for internal improve- j 1 ments are carried into operation, there is v°ry little 1 doubt that a complete change will be effected, in the course of a few years, in th e general transportation of 1 the great staples of the South and South Western , Bates to the markets, where they are to be shipped - t to foreign co'intri’s. At this tints, almost all th® p-o ductions of the Western States, concentrate in New C leans, and all the productions of foreign countries con>um d in those States, hive to be deposited in thal i city before th y are transpo led to their respective destinuions by ih • numrrou, st am boats which nav igate th' Western Rivers. This concentration of the western trade at N.-w Orleans, has r-ndered that city th? most important in the Union, after the City of New York, and ft will still inc-easein wealth and importance, should th 1 productions of the W estern Sjtat s b notcliv -rted from th° route th y now take. Th' Western S'at°s are increasing rapidly in nopu lacion, and, consequently, in productions and wealth. Ohio, in a f?w y -a s, may equal N-vv Y ork in popu lation; and Indiana and Illinois, are marching with gigantic st ps aft r Ohio. The productions of all those States are transported at this time to New Or leans. Increasing as th >y do m population and pro ductions, New-Orl *ans would fd th’ b >nefits of this increasu if the transnoriation of the productions be 1 not diverted to other ciaann Is. P nnsylvania, N w York and Maryland, have drawn to th na.->.lves a i potion of the West'ru trade; and, should th' plans cunt mpl.atd in Alabama and Tennesse he aban doned, a considerable portion of that trade will con i centrate in th States of Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland, and d prive New O.d ans of an equal | amount of b n fits. Rut if th' plans contemplated in i Alabama and T nn ss ebe carried into op-ration, a ’ larger portion of th' Western l ade will be diverted from N vv Oil ans, and take th ' route to Mobil',and, V'ry possibly, to some sea ports in the South >m States on the Atlantic. The plan in coat mplation in Alabama and Tennessee, is the construction of a line of Rail Roads, conn 'ding the Western with the South -iii Slat -s. The Rail Roads can be construct ed, and ih 1 finds n c=ssary for th? und rtaking can be rais'd; but, th ■ great question will be, will the Rail Roads oilo. d to transport to market the w st rn productions as ch-'ap as th y are now transport'd to New Oi l ans by st am boats, and will the W stern Slat's ba supplied with foreign commodities, by the Rail Roads, at freight as low as by the steam boats ? If th'question can b- ans vv red in the alii.-mariv',th ;re is no doubt that immense benefits will result to the Stat s, through which the Rail Road will extend, and that New Orleans will be d -pi-ivcd of a large portion ofib • trade it now enjoys, though that city cannot be deprived of th trad which it carri es on at the pre sent lim', with the right bank of the Mississippi, with Missouri, and a portion of Illinois. This last men tion ‘d section olTh • Union is aim increasing in popu lation ; Arkansas T -rritoi y will soon h com' a State of the Union; New Orl ans will therefore stiil bathe centre of an immense and valuable trade, whatever tn-iy be the success of th-- plan for connecting the Atlantic with the Western waters. it seems that N.w Orleans is aware of the plans in contemplation, to deprive It -r of a large portion of the West-rn trad ■. Sh - may adopt plans to countervail those in contemplation in Alabama and Tennessee, but whether she will succeed, is a question which lime ody can determine. In the m ean time, will Georgia remain idle ? Rail Roads are constructing in Alabama, and sum ' portions of th m are in suc c ssfulup nation. Canth'p opl ■of Georgia contem plate with indirferenc , the x rtiotis of our sister slat es to increase th dr population and their wealth ? Wears no advocat s for rush or doubtful und-rtu kings; but we are in favor of att -mptmg and doing something for the improvement of our State. We have g • at resou c s , wa have no public debt; we co Id therefore accomplish, with b-tt-r success, any prud nt plan, which mieht be devis d to giv» more value to our iaiiu, and to our productions. We should recoil ct that we have sea ports advantag ously situ ated for the foreign trad ', and that it requires but ex ertions and enterprize, to becom' our own importers of foreign commodities, and the carriers of our own productions. Should a judicious system of internal improve ments, w 11 adapted to th localities of the State, b’ pros cut?d with prud j uc ' and en'rgy, Savatmah. so much neglected, would revive, and become one of the most flourishing towns in th 'South rns'etionof th e Union. Augusta would al o b materially b n -fut d. That Savannah and Augusta rhould be places of im portance to the State of G o; gia, every ciliz m vviil admit.. That our principal s'a po t town, and our principal inland market town, should prosper, and by their wealth contribute to the wealth of th : Stat®, cannot be denied. Why th n should ws not use the advantages we possss, and th'great resources at our command, in ord 'r to connect every section of the State with each other, by good roads, Rail Roads, or Canals ? Why should we not render expeditious and cheap, the transportation of our produc® to th' mar kets in our own Stale, wh re it can b' dispos’d of to the best advantage ? Th -se ar' questions which de mand rr-fl - ction, and to which w > beg 1 -ave to call the attention of our nadrs. The Legislature will j soon conven", and it is to be hoped that it will tak° the subj-ct of internal improvement into earnest coa sid ration. Rtiil Hoads, Mr. Wm. Williams, agent of the Athens Roil Road Company, bus just returned front the North, whither he went with a view to improvement up on the experience of the north and west m the construction of rail roads. The main result of Mr. Willi ants’observations is, that wood is to be | preferred to all oilier materials in the construe tion of rail-roads. An engineer has been employ cd to survey the route between this place and Alliens, with a view to the location of the road ; and he will commence his labois at this place on the first of November next. Immediately there, lifter, sections of the road will he let upon con tract.—Sentinel. BOARD OF HEALTH. 1 Savannah, Oct. 7, 1634—12 o’clock, P.
