AN ORATION
Delivered hy Mr. llcoa Morrow, • » the 4M
July 1837 at Hraseule't eld field, near Hi
a.'lan in .tibcville District, S. C.
[ Ctncluded.]
•Shall Iti a government pass away ’** the
early cloud and morning dew’'’ O'. heaven
I'nrbiii. lint if this is to be ilv fate, let it be
the wreck of fallen great..es«, beau'.ifol in
death, ll it i* to stand, let it be as glorious as
it promises to be. The temples, monuments,
and inscriptions of Greece and of Rome ate
sjiecimena of their taste, and mementos of
thvir greatness, which tune shall destroy; but
n« long as memory remains, those countries
shall live by the genius of their author*, the
pen of their historians,;igd in the song of their
poets. Shaft not young America men, just j
redeemed frWffi the galling influence of foreign
control, and now rising in the scale ot pnlili
cal iinportaiVefe; shall not America, the home
of talent, the birth-place of freedom, and rest- |
dence ol enlerprize, perpetuate a name, not by ,
brick and marble, which will moulder and de- ,
cay, but by the exhibition of that intelligence
Which, like a flood of living light, will he as
'brilliant, cheering, and elevating in its effect*,
as that through the influence of which the
countries of antiquity have beertme so endear
ed to the wannest affections of civilized man.
That this will bo the case there is every thing
to hope, and nothing to fear. Knowledge is
more generally diffused than in any other
quarter of the world. The sun of science
cheers the humble cottage us well ns lliu
splendid mansion. Literature has her admi
rers, and fame her votaries. The ignorance
nod superstition, which deluded many of the
first settlers of this land of the west, are mud
curably dissipated by the rapid advances of
the humanising arts ami literary refinement.
The tide ol improvement, whose progress bun
been onward and onward, for the space of
(illy years, acknowledges no obstacles. Judg l
mg from the past, it is not dillicultlo conjec
ture what the national slate of science will be.
In a land where a judicious legislation guar
antees liberty and freedom to the humblest in
dividual, the aspirant for fame must have Ins
garlands woven by .he hands oftho enlighten*
«d people. These, it is the chief object ol the
patriotic statesman to instruct, persuade and
convince, concerning measures relating to
their dearest interests, in the morning ot
life, the youthful orator may he seen devoting
liis longest days ami midnight hours, with n
watchfulness that knows.no diminution,a zeal
I fiat fuels no chill, fur the future service of his
country, i’ossessitig a memory stored with
ideas, facts, mid observations ol Ihe past; an
imagination highly chastened and refined,and
faculties long trained to habits of reasoning,
he throws himself upon the world,to bullet the
waves of political agitation, and defend the
rights of mankind. Ho stands a beacon-light
to guard the ship oftho republic from falling
on the rocks, shoals and quick Hands of despo
tism. He burrows beauties from the lower,
ing sublimities of mathematics, gums (root
the abstruse wonders of metaphysics, and flow
•rs from the elegant arts to decorate Ins
matchless eloquence. The listening throng
are charmed hy the brilliancy ol ios sentiments
melted by the pathos ofhis language, and con
vinced by the cogency of Ins arguments.
And when the memoranda of age stiver his
locks, ami debility lenders Ins limbs unlit fur
action, fur the gi eat services he has dune Ins
country, his luliow citizens plant upon Ins
bro-v the imperishable laurel.
Mark also the herald of ha cross. Untram
m idled by forms or systems, and freed from
governmental restraint, hem lull to the exer.
die of Ins own. opinion.-, and to cultivate
in his bosom an ail-absorbing desire tor the
good ol man. This desire accompanies him
in his kuhtary walks, when he is witnessed
by nought but the all-seeing spirit that pro.
sides; —it follows Inin in public, where hm ears
ate stunned hy (he busy hum of men, and all
Seem thoughtless and Ibrgutlul of their origin;
it dwells with him in his studies, and suggus s
m Ins mind such thoughts as will be most
likely lu command the attention, affect the
heat I, or influence the conduct ol Ins and em 1 ;
It goes with him to the sacred temple, mm a
- In Ins unaffected manners, and m ins
mast animated strains; it leads him to lm.
costly dwelling, and induces Inin to any to .he
proud and haughty, that pump, power, and
magnificence crumble to dust at the touch of
-doaih; it guides him to the humble collage to
smoothe the asperities of poverty, mitigate
the pains of misery, and puur the balm ol con
eolation on the sorrowing mind. In short it
is the spring of all his motions, and guide of
ill his actions. This is the man who, while
he breaths the air and treads the earth, is
wholly intent on tho good of Ins Icllow men.
If he nave errors, they may he uscn ied to tho
frailties of humanity. They are like specks
on tho surface ol a splendid luminary, consum
ed by its heat, or irradiated hy us light, they
t ion purge and disappear; while Ins benevo
lence, like, the same luminary, takes m a
whole hemisphere m its embrace. Such is
the man over whose tomb humanity will loud
ly drop a tear, such the man who will gam a
posterity ol admirers.
To the lover of the muses, fiction opens
her rich and wonderful world Tim sparkling
stones of wit and fancy, the deep mid various
mines of poesy, spread i hctnsolvvs to Ins ea
ger g*»c. While luxuriating upon the varie
gated sconeryo! au American landscape, tho
muse need nut feast liar poetic vision on the
wonders bene th iho earth—‘Upon trees eft'ul
gent with diamond fruits, pillars of geld, and
precious stones. She need only open her
eyes, and the prospect presents itseil to be
sketched by her glowing pencil. First, and
not least, site will sing mu heroes of Colum
bia, who waved tho standard of liberty from
the north to tho south, ami gave to posterity
that freedom for which themselves braved
death. Shu will then cub brute her deserts
which have become cities, and her toresls
winch now wave with thuyellow harvest; the
extent of her territory,the variety ol her clime,
the vastness of her mountains, iho magnitude
of her rivers, the grandeur of her lakes, tho
beauty of her hills mid dales, and splendor ol
her towns and cities. What a magnificent
scene! Tins is the very place where poetic
genius loves to dwell aim indulge us raptures;
where standing on Alleghany heights, it may
glow in never dying light, and flash as tho
lightnings glare beneath its feet; or on sumo
lovely plain, burn with u rsy more mild, more
sure, and win tho soul that would turn away
from its more bnliant flushings. It may paint
all that is grand in the cataract., with its
dashing spray, and all thaljis sublime in the
tornado, with its roaring thunder. To its
view all above, about, around, is in progress,
in motion, in joy. Here it may gam a dia
dem of unlading renown.
Is it not demonstrable then, that though
this government fail,and be but the wreck ol
what was, it will have erected a monument
which time cannot destroy * It has already
produced tho greatest of orators, and of
statesmen. Many in science and philoso
phy have aitameu a high degree of eminence.
“Philosophy," therefore, “will rise m tin
school of a Franklin, and glory rekindle at the
urn of a Washington. " Hut what will con
tribute very materially to the production ol
this effect is the almost unlimited heedumuf
thought and speech which is here enjoyed.
Here there is no inquisitorial restraints over
actions, no obstacles thrown in the way of
the exercise of our talents. No Flamsteed
xons the risk of being burned for a wizard for
Ids deep skill in n t’urnl philosophy, no Gali
mo is imprtso-: I r his pertinacity m main- :
I among an astren ooiical theory. It is true that i
even iu the most despotic governments,genius
which had been rocked in the cradle ot indi ;
geace, cartesjed in the lap of misery, and fed
by the band of poverty, has often burst the
prison doom which confined it, bade defiance
to tyranny, perused the volumes of literature,
conversed with naiurc us w ith a sister, scaled
the ladder ot induction, borrowed the wing* ol
the boldest analysis, and pushed its specula*
lion* to the very boundi-nes of the universe.
Bnt instances at' tins kind in such govern
ment* treat extremely rare occurrence. Tney
are the product of centuries, it is only under
wise regulations end judicious culture that
such flown* can come 10 maturity. In pro
portion, therelore, as liberty of opinion pre
vails, so does a country possess claims to the
extension of her literary privileges, and per
petuity ol her literary reputation. But repu
lion for eminence of genius, and a high stan
dard of literature is but of small moment com
pared with Urn good which may lie effected by
o general diffusion of knowledge. Nothing
; is more certain thin that "knowledge is pow
er.” Lodge this power in the hands of the
I people, and they can never be enslaved. Ty*
! rants cannot long Imld dominion overenligli
i lened mind. Should we not then use every
| means ol which we are capable to perpetuate,
, not merely the name,but raality and substance
of this fair republic—the pride and boast of
the world. The cha rater of our lioerty is sa
cred, and to Houthern keeping it is in part
committed. They*who preserve the constitu
tion should be ranked with those who gave it,
and bolh shall flow down the ample si ream of
American history, alike renowned, and alike
immortal. Let us hope then, let us ardently
desire that the star spangled banner tuny long
untold itself to Hie breeze—that millions yet
unborn may cling around it, and guard its hon
or—until the death luii ll oftyrnnny shall sirike
the astonished car* ofthe enslaved ot nil na
tions—until lords, kings, and tics pots shall
tense to he, mid the world he blessed with one
jnhilln of liberty, the redeeming, regenerating,
. healing genius of universal emancipation.
i ——
f Gentlemen of the Volunteer Company:
i I cannot allow this opportunity to pass with
out addressing you in it few words. As you
. compose a fractional part oftho whole Ameri
can people, the welfare and existence of yodt
country are in some degree dependant ii|lon
i you. Ho not imagine for a mini bnt that
there is one of you uninterested m the great,
events that are taking plrce in the govern
ment, Freedom is your hirlh-right—h ino
man lake it from you while you can wield a
sword in its defenedi Watch, and be tena
cious of your rights. You hear u two-fold
relation to your country, both ns citizens, anil
volunteer miltlia. As citizu h I would rev
spnctfully recommend to your consideration
the remarks I have already made on this oc
casion—t hey arc the honest Benlillibiits of my
heart. To yon as militia 1 would say, it is
your part to light'lhe battles jof your country
when she is invaded. And since no human
being can (brlell wlint civil or foreign coin
motion may lake place, even a year from the
present day, in which your aid may ho re
quired, it is year duly to ho on the alert in
making preparation to meet the danger, I
would nut have you to neglect your domes
tic affairs, and to ho always bristling in
arms. But always remember this linuxim,
"in time of peace ho prepared for a time of
war." You will ever obtain respect, from
your enemies, If they know you ore ready to
make an appeal to arms. It has been asserted
that no mill iu can acquire a competent
knowledge of military tactics fdr regular con
duct in the field of battle. And 1 confess I
cannot entirely agico in opinion with those
who are sanguine in giving the negative to
this assertion. Vet it seems possible that
mil ilia—especially volunteers—may gain that
knowledge of the science which will bo ne
cessary To do this, subordination in every
one comprising the company is iiulispomibly
requisite. II obedience in servants to their
musters, in children to their parents, and m
subjects to their government*, is eisentiel to
order nud good management, it is undoubted
ly so iu soldiers to their officers. Every look,
every motion, every step of the soldier is rogu.
lalej hy the square and Ihe compass—accor
ding to «oino mathematicnl rule. Think not
iliut he, Who recommend* subordination, and
wishes to teach you military tactics, deprives
vou i i your liherne*, and m oio.o estarily wc
’ Goo moiiii o's i lit cnmi will convince
y oi lent lie .» us u* the very means lo secur''
your liberties, ll is honorable and proper,
therelore, that each of you should cultivate u
taste fur the science ol arms. Washington I
look great pain* m teaching his soldiers the |
art of war. They gamed those liberties which |
you now enjoy by labor and by blood. Re
member that, os it was glorious in them lo 1
bequeath you such privileges, it will be inglo
rious in yml to give them up tamely, and with- ,
out a struggb?. With what fiedelny, with un- (
bending assiduity, then, should you prepare
to contribute to the p Pservance and glory of 1
your country; so that if any contest may here- '
slier arise which would endanger her safe- '
ty, you may bn ready to take the (kid, not with (
noise and clamor,not w.lh tho drum unit trum- ,
pet to frighten away yntti* enemies, but with
the spear and tho bayonet to subdue them.—
Lot your banner wave proudly in the front of
the lm tile, resolved to wade through fields of
blood to gam a glorious victory, or meet a
gory bed. And if you shall bo cupelled, if
the sun of liberty shall sink from you r view,
retire to some spot where his last ray lingers,
and let that spot be your grave.
The following pnliy toasts wore given at the
celebration of the Society of Odd Fellows, at Bel
mont, Wisconsin Teiritory.on the Slat all:
The love of Liberty, and the Liberty of love.
The live greatest anil best Generals—General
Washington, General Peace, General Plenty,
General Halislaeiion and General Happiness.
May ho that turns Ids back on Ids friend fall
into ihe builds ofbi- enemy.
May those who tall by misfortune, be lifled up
hy the hand of friendship.

“Who! who! who-ah!” The poor supplicant
thinking it to be the voice of the Creator of men,
who h;ul been graciously pleased with her peti
tion, and was going lo comply immediately, re
sponded, “Any body, Lord! 1 dont care, any

‘I remember,' said the teacher, ‘when I was
but a child, and my acquaintance reach' d but i
a mile around my lather's house, then all my ,

side circle around my father’s hearth. A!>
others seemed distant and nearly out of the
reach of my affection*. But when 1 became
a youth and left my father's house m reside
in a distant town, then every one of my tor
mer townsmen whom I now met, seemed to
me like a friend, and I looked on him some
what at I used to do hefore upon one of my

to a distant State, thou every inhabitant of

we should not ask from what nation of conti

him in railing before the Lamb in heaven, and
saying ‘Thou was slain and hast redeemed us
to Hud, hy thy blood out of every kindred and

our expanding views of the world, our hearts

DEPARTURE OF THE VOLUNTEERS.
The engraving of this picture, which wo men
tioned a day or two since, as about lb ho publish
ed by Messrs. W. T. Thompson Co. is pdl>-
lisbed this day, and is now ready for delivery id
subscribers at the Bookstores ahd at our publica
tion office on Broad-streel. It is indeed a hand
soilie work, excelling in every respect any speci
men of letter press-printing which wo have ever
seen, executed in Georgia. It Is the first publica
tion of the kind ever attempted in Augusta and
wc hope will receive that encouragement from
Hllr citizens which such an undertaking certainty
merits.
Among the Passengers in ttie Utica from Hav
re arrived at New York, is our Townsman Dr
George M. NcWton, recently djtpoinled ProfcSsbr
in our Medical College in this place.
The last Darien Telegraph, tells a story alidlit
Gov. Gilmer,which in (lie opinion of the editor of
that paper, should deprive liilti of the vole of every
honest citizen of Georgia, arid which he says “re
quires only circulation to hurl him fur his present
eminence and defeat his hopes for over.”
The story runs thus: once upon a lime; when
Mr. Gilmer was Governor of Georgia, an indivL
dual again-l whom a hill hud bcerl found hy the
grand jury refused to he taken by the Sheriff;
the writ was then returned to the judge who
addressed the Gov. on the aubjecl, when,
wonderful to relate, instead of ordering out the
militia of the State and marching at their head to
capture the refractory citizen, the Gov. informed
the judge that ho was not a SHerilf.
How reprehensible such conduct must appadr
in the eyes of every good Schley man—A gover
nor who could thus refuse to call out the militia,
of the slate to maintain the supremacy nf the
lams, is, in their estimation, certainly unfit to
occupy the executive chair of Georgia.
They had rather have a Governor, who, hacked
hy the renowned Georgia Guard, under their gal
lant leader, would enforce a compliance with the
laws of Georgia, even in the jurisdiction of ano
ther state.
But wo think the bug-bear of the Telegraph will
not, us he anticipates, blast the reputation of the
Gov. or “ defeat his hopes forever.” The griev
unce of which the editor so loudly, complains
would Iw lost sight of when compared with the
conduct of the present incumbent, whoso high re
gard for justice and the supremacy of the laws of
the slate are so strikingly illustrated in his con
nection with the infamous Bishop, the bullying
bandit of Murray county, whoso lawless conduct
lias been rewarded by the appointment to the of
fice which ho now holds, in defiance of the remon
strances of alt good citizens.
Thus llio man who lias set at open defiance
evety principle of law, who has trampled upon
the lights and endangered the lives of his fellow
citizens, and With force and arms driven justice
Irom her seat, is sustained and rewarded with
ottlco by a parly, who would now denounce Gov.
Gilmer, because he did not in the < allcged case,
perform tho olfie of a Sheri if. Oh no Mr. Tele
graph, you must hatch up a tougher talc than
that, before you hurl the Gov. "from iris pre
sent eminence, and defeat his hopes forever.”
Tho same paper contains a sung in praise of
Gov. Schley, which is really ridiculous. The
Gov. will blush when ho reads it himself. We
gi\ o tho two'first stanza’s,that thrtse of our citizens
who were engaged in the Creek campaign may
judge of the truth of the poetry, It is the first
wo have heard of the glory wort by the governor
in that campaign.
Willey Schlki, the people’s chid,
Is honest, sound, an’ a’ that;
He made tho red man quickly fed :
The deadly ball an’ s' that.
So then we’ll vole for gallant Schlki .
Our country’s friend an’ a’ that:
Who‘d lead us on to victory,
An’ conquest gain, an’ a’ that:
Where danger pointed there was he,
With counsel sage an’ a' that ;
A noble lender for tho tree,
Whabcat the Creeks, an’ a’ Ilia'.
So then we'll vote for gallant Scitr.ti; &c.
Extract of a letter tinted
Athens, Aug. I 1937
I send you, fdt the gratification of our readers,
an epitome ol’llib proceedings of the Commence
ment. I deem it unnecessary to write at length
about the town, the people or the occasion. As
usual there is an immense crowd collected from
every quarter of the Stale, and composed of per
sons of ail ages, sexes and conditions. Tho Ho
tels arc crowded, private dwellings arc filled, and
the streets thronged with animated countenances,
anil judging from the show of carriages, equip
ages. fashionable dresses, &c. onfi would suppose
that the pressure of the limes had] wrought but ,
little effect upon the people of Georgia.
On yesterday,Tuesday, the exhibition of the 1
Junior Class, took place, commencing at ten o’- 1
clock. It is but juslicejto the Institution and to
the young gentlemen, to say, that they acquitted 11
themselves with great credit Jnd much fhc
gratification of a very numerous and intelligent
audience. \t three and a half o clock on toe j.
same day the annual oration was delivered before tl
the Alumni Society by Nathaniel M. Crawford' tl
Esq. After this a large meeting was held in the b
college dispel at which resolutions were passe
recommending a convention of Southern and (
South Western Merchant!, to be held at Augusta g
on the third Monday in October next, for the pur- t
pose df concerting measures,to enable the south to
become the exporter of her own merchandize. (
These proceedings will all be published and you t
will Iw enabled tojadge of them better thin by
any mere description of llicir tenor by me.
Os the performance of the young gentlemen
who graduate to-day. I can say nothing as the j
mail closes just as the exercises commence.
This evening there is a party given to the gra
duates of the Institution by Dr. Church the Pre- ;
sided. Also a grand concert by Dn Gdheke at
Concert Hall,
The Hon. Mr. Pinckney, of Charleston, the
Orator before the two Societies fur Thursday,
has arrived and appears in fine health.
There seems to tie hut little sayiHg dr doing in
political matters and very little excitement.

f | \HE undersigned, as a Board of Visitors, alien- tal
JL ded the examination of the young ladies be
longing to this institution, under the charge and di- * 1
reation of Mrs. *S'. D. Speed, on Ibe 27tn of June.
The Board is aware that it is too often the practice, .lj
on such occasions, lo praise indiscriminately the ,
conduct of pupils and instructors, yet, in this in- Vi|
stance, deem it but justice to say, that tliey never vv
witnessed un examination which afforded them more
unfeigned satisfaction, or one that reflected more
credit, both on the pupils and their instructress gi
'file young ladies were examined thoroughly in all
the different branches of education in which they c
had jxeen engaged during the term, and evinced, by i
their prompt and ready answers, their perfect knowl- ,
edge of their studies. There was none of that im- 1
, pheit reliance merely upon the powers of memory, t
that usually characterize female examinations, :
though the young ladies frequently explained the
principles of science in the author's own language,
and answered “ from the book.” yet their prompt
answers and explanations in their own, language,
clearly evinced that they had been taught un
-1 derstandingly, and that the judgment had been
| exercised as well as the memory. The Board be
-1 lieyes this plan to be the only rational one of im
-5 pani g instruction; and Mrs. Speed, froth long ex
s periem ein the art of instructing young ladies, par
: ticulnrly on this plan, has succeeded admirably, and
gained the approbation of the patrons of learning in
■ every community in which she has hitherto been 1 jt-K
engaged as an instructress Among the patronso't
i this school, the Board takegreat pleasure in staling
that they have heard but one opinion, and that is
one of unqualified approbation and delight.
The above is only a feeble tribute to the merits
ol Mrs Speed and her pupilsmnd in conclusion the ■
Board oheerlntly recommend tins school to the pa- ■
tronnge of the public.
