DON’T r.IVFWp
BY T. S. ARTHUR
*1 can’t do it father. Indeed I can’t.’
‘Never say can’t, my son. It isn’t j
good word.’
‘Bnt I can’t, father. And if I can’t 1
can t. I’ve tried, and tried, and llit
answer won’t come out right.’
‘Supposeyou try again, Edward,’said
Mr. Williams, the father of the discour
aged boy.
‘What if yon go to school to-morrow
without the correct answer to this sum?’
‘l’ll he pul down in my class,’ returned
Edward.
Mr. Williams shook his head, and his
countenance assumed a grave aspect.
There was a silence of a few moments,
aud then the father said:
. ‘Let me relate to you a true story, my
son. Thirty years ago, two lads about
your age, were school companions. Botli
got on very well for a lime; but as their
studies grew more difficult, both suffered
discouragement, and each said often to
his father, as you have just said to me—
*l can’t.’ One of these boys, whose name
* was Charles, had a brighter mind than
the other, and could gel through his ta-ks
easier; but his father was very indulgent
to him, and when he complained that his
lessons wete too hard, and said, ‘1 can’t
do this, aud can’t do that,’ he requested
the teacher not to be so hard with him.
‘But it was different with the father of
the other boy, named Henry. To every
complaint, he answered—‘Don’t give up,
my boy! Try again; and if not successful,
try again and again. You can do it I
jknow you can.*
‘Thus encouraged, this lad persevered,
anil in every case, overcome the difficul
ty! ih his way. Soon, although his mind
was not naturally so active as the mind ol
his companion, he was in advance of him.
When they left the school, which was
about tiie same lime, lie was by far the
best scholar. Why was this? He did
not give up because his task was hard; for
he had learned this Important lesson—
that we can do almost anything, if we

■p ‘Well, these t vo hoys grew up towards

to enter upon some business. CbarjtuL

physician; but he did not stay there tong.
Ue found it difficult in the beginning, to
remember the names and uses of the
various organs of tire body, and soon be
came so much discouraged, that his fatti
er thought it best to alter his intention
regarding him, and to pul him into a mer
chant's counting room, instead of contin
uing him as a student of medicine. Here
Charles remained until he became of age.
Some few years afterwards lie went into
business for himself, and got on pretty
well for a time; but every young man
who enters the world, dependent upon his
own efforts, meets with difficulties that
only courage, confidence and persevers
ance can overcome. He must never
think of giving up. Unfortunately for
Charles, these virtues did not make a
part of his character.” When trouble and
tliffiiruliies came, his mind sunk under a
feeling of discouragement; and he ‘gave
up’ at a time when all that was needed
for final success, was a spirit ol itidomila
ble perseverance, that removes all obsta
cles, He sunk, unhappily, to rise no
more. In giving up tile struggle, he It-t
go his hope in tlie futuie— and ere he had
reached llie prime of life, found liiinselt
shatieied in fortune, and without th* en
ergy of character necessary to repair It.
‘ln the same office where Charles was
placed, Henry was entered as a student
of medicine. At first, when lie looked
into the hook ol .inatomy, and read the
names of bones muscles, nerves, arteries,
be., it seemed to him that he never could
learn these names, much less their various
uses in tiie human bod)’. Fora shun
time lie gave way to a feeling of discour
agement; but then a thought of the many
hard tasks lie had learned, by application
came over his mind, and with the words,
‘Don’t give up,’ on his tongue, he would
apply himself with renewed efforts. Lit
tle by little lie acquired die knowledge lie
wag seeking. Daily he learned S'>me
thiug, and it was not long before lie could
look back ami mark (lie steps of his pro
gress. This encouraged him greatly.
Soon new and greater difficulties presen
ted themselves; but, encouraged by past
triumphs, he encountered diem in a con
fident spirit, and came off conqueror.
‘Thus Henry went on, while Charles
gave up quickly. In die end, the former
graduated with honor, and then entered
upon the practice of the profession he
had chosen. There was much to dis
courage him at first. People do not rea
dily pot confidence in a young physician;
and he had to wait ihree or four years
before he received practice enough to
support himself even with die closest econ
omy. During this lone period in which
the motto —‘Don’t give up sustained him,

from debt. From that time a prosperous
way was before him; though he liad often
to fall back upon the old motto—‘Don’t
, give up,’ Many years have passed, and
Henry is now Professor of Anatomy in
| ———University.’
, ‘Why, father! That is you?’ exclaimed
the listening boy, the interest on his lace
j brightening into pleasure.
‘Yes, my son,’ replied Mr. Williams.
•I have been giving you my own history;
‘But what bocomeof Charles? enquir-
ed Edward.
‘You know the Janitor in our collegf?
said Mr. Williams.
‘Yes, sir.’
‘He it is who, when a bov, was my
j school mate. But he gave tip at every
j difficulty,—-see where he is how. He
| had a good mind, but lacked industry,
perseverance and a will to succeed. You
can do almost any tiling, my boy, if you
only try In good earnest. But, if you
give up when tilings are a little hard, you
must never expect to rise in the world to
be useful according to your ability, eith
er to yoursell or mankind. Now try the
hard problem again; J am sure you will
I get tlie right answer.’
‘I will try,’ said Edward, confidently
‘and l know it will come out right next
time.’
And so it did. One more earnest tri\
al, and his work was done. Far happier
was lie, after ibis successful’ effort, than
lie coy Id have been, if, yielding to a feel
ing of discouragement he had felt Ids
task unaccomplished. And so all will
find it. Difficulties are permitted to
stand in our way that we may over
come them; and only in overcoming can
we expect sticcess and happiness, the
mind like the body, gains strength and
maturity by vigorous exercise. It must
feel like the oak, the rushing
norm, as well as bask, amid gentle breez
es, in the warm sunshine.
A Petrified Corpse in Wisconsin.
—The Fond du Lac. Journal relates
the following very extraordinary case of
rapid petrifaction.
On the 20ih August, 1847, Mrs.
Phelps, wife of our informant, Abner P.
Phelps, died and was buried at Oak
[fumye, Dodge county. On the 11th
ApriLnJjkshe was taken up, to be removed
to Strange,s Landing. The coffin was
retain its features ard proportions After
five miles, the body was examined, m b
found to be wholly petrified—converted
to a substance resembling light colored
stone. Upon trial, edge-tools mule no
more impression upon it than upon marble.
In striking upon the body with metal, a
hollow ringing sound was produced.
The disease by which she came to her
death was chill-fever and dropsy, and
| when the body was buried it was very
much swollen. The ground in which she
had been buried was a yellowish loam,
and ibe body lay about three feet above
the lime rock.
Educate that Child*
Permit me to say one word upon the in
trinsic important- of highly cultivating the
human miiul. Tiie duty and the absolute
necessity is upon us to do this: for the safety
of all we as republicans, hold dear depends
upon its being done. Cultivate the mind
because it is mind. Why till that spot ol
earth? Because it is fertile and will pro
duce a crop. Why educate that child ! I
answer because it is a child, and w ill be a
man, and may be a seraph 1 Father,
mother, what is that lovely little object
you call yours —dearer to you than all
houses and acres and goods? Its bright
eyes, its smiling face, its sweet voice
—how precious in your sight! What is it ?
Is it a little thing which will grow into
a labor doing, money making machine?
Do you look upon it. as a curiously con
structed form that will make a fine ap
pearance w hen well .dressed, and he quite
satisfied when well fed ? that is to appear
for a while for the purpose ofeating, drink
ing and earning wages of some sort or
oilier, and then pass away ? And does ed
ucating it, or what \ oil call educating it,
mean simply giving it a little instruction
that it may the heller accomplish such
purposes ? More—infinitely more than
ulhhis, goes to the making and training
of that child. Ait infinitude belongs even
now to that lovely object. The germ of
all that is great and noble is concealed
there. There are elements within it of
ecsiary or woe beyond all liuntaii compu
tation. There is intellect theieand sus
ceptibility of more value to that child than
the whole natural universe abound it.;
The child knows it not. You know it;
and (iod Ims committed it to you that
this intellect may he developed; expanded
elevated, purified, fitted f r hnppinass here
and e ernal glory hereal'tei; that all those
susceptibilities may be rightly controlled
alttl made liapilv subservient to its liighet
nature. God has stamped upon it his
own image ; you are to see to it t? at this
image he not effaced. He has handed it
to yon as a spiritual diamond ; you ate to
burnish it, that it shine w ith brilliant lustre
to all eternity. Educate that child, then.
Spare no expense that it may be rightly
educated. The high behest of heaven is
upon you to do this.

THE RAILROAD.
No doubt is now entertained but that the
Cars will reach Oglethorpe, the terminus of
the South Western Rail Road, by the 20th
of July next at farthest; and we can say
confidently, that we believe there is no doubt
of it. The citizens are looking forward to
the day with a great deal of pleasure, as tt is
expected then that every thing will put on a
different aspect—that business will be much
more lively, and the Merchants have an ea
sier mode of transportation, and much more
speedy, and the consequence will be that
goods will be much cheaper here, and busi
ness more active. It will give new life to
every thing. Lawyers and Doctors, Mer
chants and Mechanics, will fell its beneficial
effects alike.
Whenever it is ascertained exactly at what
time the cars will reach this place the public
will be informed,and on that day it is expect
ed that a dinner will be given in Oglethorpe
and we have no doubt but there will be many
here: It will be truly a time of rejoicing,
and strangers may expect if they visit this
place on that day to enjoy themselvos to
their own satisfaction in (he way of good liv
ing, and no mistake.

q For ihe South-West Georgian.
Mr. Editor: —There appears to be great
fears entertained by the disunionists concern
ing the issue of the piesent Gubernatorial
election. They are fearful that principle
aud not names will form the issue, hence the
Wtiering aniodgst the enters. They have
tried their of rebellion
| secession &c. and have Mw||o signally de
feated and are so very anxiills to gt rid of
the stigma cast upon them by thnitfetraitorous
designs, that every effort is making to7fa|-
ganize disbanded parties; parlies that theW
disbanded twelve months ago. first by the cry
of oppression, and offering the Missouri com
promise as the only terms of reconciliation,
and lastly by open and avowed secession.
For proof of this, you are referred to the
various calls made upon the people to attend
their public meetings during the past conven
tional election. Those calls were made ir.
ipspeclive of parties, and if they had nolfjl
been defeated in their designs to
Union, there would not have been anjHK:
made, nor a cry raised for the
of the old Whig and Democrat pJHRs. But I
in order to gain strength and rgJHtability
the cry of Democracy is raiseduiip’jheback
sliding are invited to returned their father’s
house, with the promisqgtt the tight hand of
fellowship being exiepiM to them on their
return, by their hdnesf brethren,
that “by gone’s and that they
are willing to aIfMWWr decision of the con
vention. Thus you see they have become
Uuioti men, that they intend to abide the de
cision of a large majority of the honest yeo
manry of Georgia. Hence, there is no fur
ther use of the Disunion or Southern Rights
party, but they are willing, yea, anxious to
arouse from the dead, the peaceful and sleep
ing dust of old parlies—parties whose caus
es of difference are not now before the peo
ple and which are compelled to remain ex
tinct, unless they could be revived. But why
are they Uunion at present? I answer in
their own language: Stern necessity compels
them. To rebel is useless, impracticable,
absurd, ridiculons. They know and confess
that they could not control a Corporal’s
Guard in a single county in the State. They
adopt policy and not principle, and Judas
like, they are willing to betray the honest
hearted yeomanry of the State into the sup
port of their fiendish principles, by the. be
witching cry of democracy. The dcstruc..
tion of this Government and the establish
ment of a Southern Confederacy is their
§pd greatest ambition, It is not the
love of the Union nur the great attachment
they have for Southern interest, that causes
them to become apparently willing to abide
the decision of the convention but a desire to
eradicate the stain of the past and to renew
the fight more secretly that success may he
the more certain. The cry of Democracy
is a s’ratagem, a mere sett, to catch the Dem
ocrats who had patriotism and honesty enough
to come out from'amongst them, determining
to handle not nor touch not the unclean thing
—who have, for the interest of their country,
J isciaiined all affiliation with them and have
united with.the patriotic Union men in put
ting down all rebellion against constitutional
authority. There is not a particle of hones*
ly or candourjo be expected from them.
Believe them not to be sincere when they
tell you that they approve the resolutions of
the convention that it is the position that they
liavp ortupied and are still willing to occupy,
that there is no need to keep up those new
parties lately organized that we must return
to the old parties from which the new was
fotmed that to revive the old Democratic,
party is ail that is now necessary to sustain
tiie Government and protect Southern in
terest. We tell you that it is all for effect.
If they are willing to abide the resolutions of
the convention and like true patriots, sustain
the Union; Why not give those resolutions
their support! Whv not cease striviug to
keep alive sectional feeling and unite with
those true republicans,North and South, who
are using every effort to restore peace and
harmony throughout this prosperous and hap
py country. They abuse and vilify those
self-sacrificing republicans who have used
every effort to affect a compromise and save
the Union. Why are the names es those
devoted patriots, Messrs. Tombs and Ste
phens, so obnoxious to them. The truth is
they are the same Disunionists in principle
that they were last year and they have a per
fect hatred to all those gallant ones that assis
ted in doleating them in the dissolution of
this Union, aud notwitlwlanding their pre
tended devotion to the Union, and seeming
willingness to adopt the platform of the con
vention, and their untiring efforts to prevent
Southern interest. Those (would be Dem
ocrats) Southern Rights men would willing
ly sacrifice them apon the altar of eternal in
famy. Again if they are satisfied with the
resolutions of the convention aud that con
vention did but pass resolutions identical
with the views of the Southern Rights par
’ ty (except the ambiguity of the principal
’ resolution,) why are the suppoiters of those
resolutions, called submissionists ill contra
distinction to the Disunion or Southern Rights
party and if those resolutions but express
their opinions and views, why call the com
promise hill, the hill of abomination, and re
main willing and anxious tn consign its sup
porters, (both Whig and Democrat) to con
dign punishment. Is it because they dis
like to have any association whatever, with
any portion of the old Whig parly? I think
not. They have several honest hearteef
Whigs with them, who are resistance jlH|
because they believe it to be right
that they are proud to axsJmau^^Rjp’iind
occasion. Ur. can it are so
particularly fond of the nfltgprof democrat, as
to wish it associated party title.
If this be the difference be
tween the partLs, ‘I would for the sake of
Union amjjjjg ourselves, and that peace and
abound propose, to attach the
word democrat to the name of the constitu
tional Union party, and I further propose to
give it the fore front in said name thereby
showing it to be a word of distinction, aud
like its present snbject must bear the fore
front of coustitucncc. But this proposition
will only prove their insincerity and hypoc
risy’! Their hostility to the Federal govern
ment is too strong to bo kept concealed.—
Their anxiety to establish a Southern confed
eracy is too great to be concealed from the
view of the honest hearted voters of this
country. And although they may clothe the
monster (disunion) with the mantle of Dem
ocracy, and have the holy water of South
ern Rights sprinkled upon that mantle by
the Grand High Priest at Milledgeville, and
re-sprinkled by the ordinary throughout the
State and refuse to give masses to all who
refuse to adhere to the policy of the creed,
and pronounce the heaviest curses upon them
it will all fail of success. PHILIP.
Oglethorpe, June 2nd, 1851.
Secession Candidate for Governor.
We have already announced that the Hon.
Charles J. McDonald, of Marietta, has been
nominated bv the * Southern Bights’ Con
vention as their candidate for Governor of
Georgia. Gov. McDonald has heretofore
occupied the Executive office of the State
during two successive terms —having been e
lected in 1839 and 1841. He is a gentle.,
man of intelligence and character. In all
that relates to him personally, we know of
nothing that can be urged to his discredit.—
It is of hint as a politician only, as the nomi
nee and exponent of a party, that we desire
to speak; and here there is ample material
to occupy its during the time intervening be
tween this and the day of the election.
We have not selected the caption at the
head of this article without reflection, We
consider that in the nomination of Gov. Mc-
Donald, the issue of Union and Secession has
been made and distinctly presented. Men
may say what they please—politicians may
seek to explain and mistify—but this issue
stands out before the world and cannot be
disguised. The part which Gov. McDon-
took as the President of the Convention
in Macon last year, where the cry of* disu
nion’ was first raised in Georgia—his posi
tion as Vice President of the first Nashville
Convention aud President of the second, and
his signature to its voluntary proceedings—
and his subsequent letters and avowals of o
pinion, define Ins position and proclaim him
to the world a SECESSIONIST. This fact
stands out, and will coniine to stand out,
though he and his friends should call on the
mountains to fall upon it and hide it from the
eyes of the people.
We care not what may have been the res
olutions the convention adopted. It makes
no difference whether it laid down a * Repub
lican,’ 1 Southern Rights,’ ‘ Democratic,’ or
1 Union’ platform, or whether it acquiesced
in the Compromise measures and the action
of the Georgia Convention. The position
of the notnioee fixes the position of the par
ty. His past course stamps him as a Seces
sionist, and the selection of such a candidate
as their standard hearer stamps the party nom
inating him as the Secession party. From
this there is no escape. If the Convention
had even endorsed and approved of the com
promise and the course of the State Conven
tion, it would not alter the fact. No parly
has ever been known to nominate a man ‘by
acclamation,’ unless it concurred in the views
and sentiments of that man.
Suppose a convention should assemble in
Baltimore and nominate Van Buren or Se
ward for the Presidency, and should adopt
a set of Resolutions approving the fugitive
slave law and the Missouri line of 36 30, and
pledging itself to grant to the South whatev.
er she desired. Is there a southern man
who could'be deceived into the support of ei
ther of those demagogues by such profes
sions? Is there a matt from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande who would not know that
such resolutions were a snare to allure us to
our ruin ? a cloak to hide from us the hypoc
risy and abolitionism of our enemies, and
which they would throw ofTthe moment they
got into power? No—we would judge the
party by the man it had selected as its nom
inee and exponent. So with the parly in
this State, which has just nominated Gov.
McDonald. We know not what resolutions
were adopted by the convention, nor what
name it assumed, and we care not. We
shall judge of the party and its sentiments by
the man whom it has chosen as its leader and
exponent, and as he has shown himself to be
a Secessionist, it is but just to conclude that
his party is in favor of vecession.
k Hence the issue is presented of Union and
Secession. W e fear not to meet it. The
Union party fear not to meet it. With a
proper leader, we are ready to enter thecan
vass, and doubt not we shall emerge f rom ‘so
with a majority which has no parallel
annals of the State.
