q th malcontent*, if they ever attempted a tiling decisive, always began t>y proc.aim jug (lie young N>t|Kj|con, so as to secure the sympathy of the masses. Napoleon is to the French a magic won*, winch electrifies and daz z!es them. A thousand cannons sleep in that name es well as in tlicpillar of the Place V en pome, and th* Tuileries will tremble if those thousand cannons ever wake again. As the Jews never pronounce unnecessarily the name of their (ind- Napoleon ia seldom designated here by Ins name ; they almost always call him the man, but you see bis image every where, in stamp, in plaster, in metal, in wood, and in ail situations. On the boulevards, and at the cor tiers of the streets, you meet with orators that celebrate the man, popular singers who chuunt his deeds. Last evening, as I was passing through n little narrow street to return to my lodging, I saw a child, hardly three years old, behind a tallow candle stuck in the ground lie was stammering a song to the glory ol the great emperor. As I threw him a son, something glided near me, and asked me also lor a sou. — It was an old soldier, whocould also sing a song to the glory of the great emperor, for that glory had cost him his two legs. The poor cripple implored me in the most supplicating niiinuer. —ln the name of Napoleon, give me a sou. — This is the name the most powerful watchword of the peopled Napoleon is their God, their creed, their religion. Lafayette, on the contra ry, is venerated much more ns a man, or ns pro tecting angel. He lives also in image, and in song, but less heroically, and l honestly confess that I could hardly resist a feeling ot the comic Inst year to hear him chainilcd in the Farisien nr, as the white-haired Lafayette, whilst l saw him personally close by toy side in his brown peruke. p. rlinps it is such a mixture of the comic that endears him, and brings him still nearer to our human affections. 11is good nature acts even on children, and they are, perhaps, betterjudg -cs of his greatness than grown up persons. I have another little mendicant-anecdote to relate here, which shows the characteristic contrast of the glory of Lafayette with that of Napoleon, i whs standing the other day at the corner ol a street which terminates upon the Place Pan theon, and was lost, as usual, in a reverie at lie holding this beautiful edifice, when a little Au vergimt came, and usked me for a sou. I gave him a ten sou piece to get rid of him moie ea sily. But lie then approached me with more familiarity, saving, do you know general La fai/rttel As I answered in the affirmative to this singular question, the most perfect delight sp irk led nt .nice in the face ol the little urchin, an J he said with ilm most comic seriousness, he is from my own country, lie thought, no doubt, that, a man who was capable of giving him ten sous, must also he an admirer ol La fayette, and consequently that 1 was worthy ot Ins presenting himself to me us his fellow-coun tryman. The country people entertain the most affec tionate respect for Lafayette, particularly as the old general himself makes agriculture his prin cipal occupation. This maintains in him that simplicity nod almost youthful Ifeshness that u coiiituia dmilfi in ft city might destroy. In this, lie resembles those great republican generals of antiquity, who planted their own cabbages, and, wh ‘it circumstances required, Hew from the plowdi to Imttle, or to the tribune, and after having cawed the victory, returned to their rural toils. But the class wh'iUx has the greatest venera tion for Lafayette, is ‘t, c middle class, the trulesmen ami shop-keeper. These adore h in. Lafayette, reducing every v.„ ntr to order, is liie idol of these men. They worsii-g. ~s a sort of providence on horseback (providence cheval.) a guardian of the public safety, who takes care that no theft shall be committed in the strife of liberty, but that every one shall pre serve Ins precious little property. The national gu inl, ton, those well-fed heroes, with their mo natrons fur caps, are intoxicated with joy when they speak of Lafayette, their old gener nl, their pncitic Napoleon. Yes, he is the Nu pmeon of the under gentry, people of good cre dit, the messieurs tailors and glovemnkcrs, too in icli occupied, it is true, during the day to think much of Lafayette, but who indemnify them selves for it in the evening by redoubted enthu siasm, so that it inay be truly said that at 11 o’clock at night, when almost all the shops are shut, the glory of Lafayette is at its anogee. Some people have wrongly imagined that ■Lafayette was a mere old man set up for allow, or used as a machine. These people ought to sop him once St the tribune to bo convinced that he is not a more stnnrlnrd to be followed and made oath to, but that lie is constantly himself the stron<r kmoht whose hands bear the banner of the nations. Lafayette is, perhaps, the most iinpoitant orator in the present Chamber of Deputies. When he speaks, lie always strikes the nail on the head, ns lie does Ins enemies. Is some great question to he agitated ? He al ways rises, as eager for the coinhat ns a young tnan. His body alone is weak and trembling, broken by age and by the shocks.of tune, like nn old armor, hacked and cut; and it is affect ing to see him drag himself under this burden to the tribune, and when lie has reached Ids an cient post, recover his breath with difficulty, and smile. That smile, and the whole exterior of the man at that moment, nre inexpressible.— There is such a mixture of benevolence ami fine irony m it at the same tune, that you feel yourself enchained, as it were, by a magic cu riosity, by a delightful enigma You cannot tell whether it is the cultivated maimers of a French marquis, or the upright and open sim plicity of nil American citizen. All the fail side of the old regime, chivalry, courtesy, tact nre here marvellously blended with the hes< parts of modern citizenship, the love of equali ty, plainness and honesty. Nothing is more in teresting, when the early tunes of the Revolu ton are spoken of, nnd someone in the usual t A'-coriling to Byron’s prediction, “ But be it as it may. the time may come Ilia name shall boat the alarm like /ilea's dram.” 1 lawyer style, wrenches a fact from its true bear ngs, and works it up so ns to suit his own sid of the argument, to see Lafayette destroy w a few words, all the erroneous conclusions, b> re-establishing the true meaning of the fact, o ny restoring to it its interest by a relation of th circumstances that belong to il. r l biers, him self, on such occasions, is obliged to fold In wings, and the great historian ot the Revolu tion bends before its great, its living monument, its general Lafayette. From the Georgia Journal. THE LATE SESSION. The session of Congress just closet), has been as was expected, one of intense interest. It lias in its progress exhibited much of the vices and also the virtues of our gove-rnment. Among the vices, we may reckon those protiacted discus sions, not to represent but to create public opin ion, which will increase we think hereafter with the increasing facilities of communication. We now have scores, hut we shall have hundreds ol speeches unheard hii<l unread hut by the neigh bors and immediate constituents ot the maker. Political ambition has no doubt, more or less ns always does, held the candle and moved the wires of Legislation, so that the skill of the law giver is in aping the patriot; but this must ever be more or less the case in n popular govern merit where speech and opinion are free and of fice is open to all. W hat may be set down for the virtue* of this government as exemplified in the session just closed, have perhaps arisen in part out of the very evils we have noticed. Much talk whether good or bad, and keen and violent contests, whether Irotn sinister or legitimate motives, have aroused the torper and alarmed the jeolousies of a generous, and sometimes n too confiding people. It has provoked inquisi tion into existing abuses, and has raised and concentrated a resolute opposition to those exe cutive assumptions of power that might—that would, he hereafter the stepping stones to noth ing less than u throne. President Jackson was borne into office by gratitude for past services, liits promises lor the future, an assurance in the justness ot his ntnx iins tis administration and ot constitutional law, and a pervading confidence in the purity of Ins purposes. 11 is first term of office justified the public expectation ; but in the second—what a fall was there !! What is the exact processor the j agency that produced his declension front the | high ground on which ho stood in 1630,we know not. He may l.uve been moved from bis poise in the liert of contest; lie may have been be trayed hy his passions, or beguiled hy interested ( irresponsible advisers. These have all been ; charged, and they may have all concurred to the result. However that may be, it matters very little. The fact stands recorded in history, | and to the fact alone we have to look. The doctrines put forth m his proclamation —even ] his amended proclamation, the arbitrary features of his favorite force bill, the powers and prero gatives arrogated to the Executive branch in the protest, are enough if submitted to and err., el out in practice, to render this government any thing else than that which our fathers fought for and achieved in 1770. If what he says, or has been made to say, be true, we have gained no thing by the Revolution. Every reasonable doubt condemns him, I'orthnt which recommen ded him perhaps most of all to the great repub lican family, was his declared and often repea led opinion, that the Federal Government ought not to attempt the exercise of any doubtful. power. A maxim which would alone secure us against nil the evils with which we have been visited or threatened. His present admirers all | responded to this. They assented to the ob vious truth, that a faithful adherence to this rule would obviate all dispute, and secure to the ‘-eneral Government its utmost strength in the affeciWn gmd confidence of the people. Tins was looked pon JS the polar star of his admin istration, that would certainly steer it clear of those quicksands on which other free govern ments have been wrecked. Now it may be calmly asked of his warmest admirers; those who still pin their faith upon Ins sleeve; it ni gli be asked even of himself, whether candidly speaking, many of his acts and claims of power are not at least of doubtful constitutionality? The answer must be yes. It has been repeat edly so answered by thousands who would have denied it if they could. It has been with the deepest regret, nnd the most reluctant convic tion, that we have seen him striding step after step away from the principles on which we wel comed him to power—not into doubtful powers merely, hut far beyond the region of nil doubt into the very camp of the Federalists. It was hardly |>ossible for those strides to have been ta- ken, nnd those pretensions to have been advan ced under auspices more seductive and danger ous, than by a name so extensively and hereto fore so deservedly popular as Jackson’s. But one good of the late session, one gain to the people has been to awaken them to a sense of their danger. The thunder and lightning of the tempest at the capitol hus roused the peo ple up, and when up they are generally safe, ft was hard to. effect this. Men had to forego their long cherished partialities and to overcome a confinding faith that had grown into n habit, before they could be brought to look on any ael of Jncksons with that scrutinizing severity with which they would regard the acts of other men. But they have looked, and they see in the do cuments before them, things that must not he permitted to incorporate themselves whh our social scheme. They have therefore set about to purge of all those impurities, and restore the government to a henlthy and sound condition. That there may not be no mistnke in the reck oning, they go clear back to the ’76 times; con tending ns whigs of that day strove tor then.— They make that the standard aimed at; taking the position ofVrrgmiannd Kentucky in ’Gr and ’99, and that of Georgia in 1825, as the land marks to guide them on. _____ .

At eleven, Mr. Short and I moved in proces sion to iny study, where the Declaration ot In dependence was read to me hv Mr. Slant. after winch l delivered the following oration to Mr. Short: Friend and Fellow-Citizen : “The instrument which you have just read, teaches you that in I77ti ‘ these, united colonies (not this united people) were declared by those; vvlio ought to have known a little about it, to he free, sovereign and independent States,’ (not a free, sovereign nod independent knotol Van kees, Midlanders and Southrons.) Therefore, w hen General Jackson tells you the States never were free, sovereign and independent, do you ask General Jackson if lie takes you to be a stark natural fool: and when the Longnnmes ask you to support the man, or any man, who supports such doctrines, ask them if they will he good enough to support the tip end of your right shoe, while you think of it. (Here the orator was interrupted by a hurst of applause from Mr. Short, who made a pug nacious kick at nothing : as much as to say, * let ’em try theirexperimentsuponiny integrity if they love- shoe leather.’) “ You see, tny respected friend, that there is nothing too absurd fora free and enlightened people to swallow, if private interest recom mend it; but, thank heaven, there will always he in the laud some lofty, uncompromising spir its, who will defend the true principles of our government, tinder every temptation, and at every hazard.” (Here Bob looked very diguified and inde pendent ; and showed plainly that he took the whole of the last member of the sentence to himself.) “ Our Baldwins are gone, our Jackson’s are gone, our Tattnalls our Cobbs nre gone ; but from their ashes have sprung up a race not less jealous of their liberties, nor less bold in de fending them than they were. Some such will there ever, be to shame corruption, :o retard the march of despotism, and to check the usurpa tions of ill grasping power. These will be honored, when the little selfish politicians of the day, who flit from party to party and from principle to principle for the worthless recom pense of being meanly distinguished, will be forgotten ; or will be remembered only to be despised In the first ranks, my dear Bob, let us take our places, and whether we. rise or fall, sink or swim, let us carry through life an appro ving conscience, and Wave to our children n spotless character.” \ The company now adjourned to Mr. Short’s (lining room, where they seated themselves at n table well provided with republican fare. Af ter the cloth was removed the following toasts wete drank : REGULAR TOASTS. 1. The Day we celebrate : It finds the coun try in a pretty pickle. If the people love fed eralism let them keep it so.

(As the reader is not presumed to know the history of the Short family, the toast requires explanation. Uncle Peter used to keep a box which he called the truck-box: in which lie put every thing that he picked up in Ins ram Ides, which he thought could be of any use: such as old rusty nails, horse shoes, broket chissels, band-hooks, hame-strings, <fcc. &< Whenever <ve boys hail any mechanical projec on foot, good or bad, we always went to unch Peter’s truck-box, where we found the very at tides i'oi our purpose.) 10- Forsyth and Wayne, A I • vely twain.

Yesterday morning, at 11 o’clock, in con formity with previous arrangements, a Livic and Military Procession was formed before the Exchange, for the purpose of tendering the last tribute of respect to the memory of the “good and great” Lafayette. About half past 10, the Military were review ed in line, into which they formed with admira ble precision, by Col. Williams and Staff, in the following order: The Georgia Hussars, C'apt. Gordon. Chatham Artillery, Capt. Stevens. U. States Artillery, Capt. Merchant. Pt'cenix Kifiemen, Capt. Bowen. Hepubi{ Lan Ll U es, Capt. Pooler. Savannati v 0 l. Guard*, Capt. Jackson. The Civic Procession then made its appear ance, and was revived with presented arms, when the whole lint Ulo ved from Bay-street, through Bull, Congress, Drayton, and South Broad streets to the Presbyv^ r ian Church, in general order of procession as fuiiows: Military with standards mourned. Orator nnd Committee. Revolutionary soldiers. Os- ficers of the V. S. Army and Navy. French men and descendants of French, with tri-colo r. and Banner, mourued. Strangers of distinction. Militia Officers of the First and other Regiments. District Judge, Attorney, Clerk, and Marshall, Judge of the {Superior Court, Sheriff'and Offi cers. Judges of the Inferior Court. Judges of the Court of Common Pleas and Officers. Members of the Bar. Mayor and Aldermen and City Officers. Consuls. Post Master, Navy Agent, &c. Collector of the Customs. Union Society. Georgia Medical Society and Physicians. Hibernian Society, with green scarfs, banner mourned—emblem the Irish Harp—motto, “ Erin go bruit.” St. Andrew’s Society, with banner mourned—emblem, tt Andrew—motto, “Relieve the distressed.”— Pilots. Harbor Master; Master and Mates of Vessels and Seamen, with the Flag of the U. States mourned. Citizens generally. In this order the Procession moved to the Presbyterian Church, South Broad street. A deep solemnity prevailed throughout its ranks, nnd a sacred quiet threw over the city the air of a Sabbath Day. A low and solemn pre lude from the fine toned Organ of the Church ushered the Procession within its holy walls, where had already assembled a beautiful and brilliant concourse of ladies, whose number we think, could not have fallen short of six bun red. They, too, had come to sympathise with ns, nnd tender the last homage of patriotism and beauty to the memory of the Great French man, for whom this vast Republic mourns. Not only the Church, but its aisles were crowded, and numbers had to return who could not pro cure seats. The audience could not huve n niouutcd to less than fifteen hundred. The solemnities ©f the dny commenced with nu introductory Hymn, which was read by the Rev. Mr. Myers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and performed by the choir and organ, in a strain most deeply sweet, sytnphonious and impressive. A fervid, eloquent and patriotic prayer was then addressed to the “Holy of Holies,” by the Rev. Mr. Ncufville of the Epis copal Church. After which, the Orator, the Rev. William Capers, of the Methodist Episco pal Church, pronounced in a distinct and audi ble voice, the best Eulogy we ever listened to. He commenced with a deeply feeling nnd affectionate tribute to the illustrious subject ol nis discourse, and almost imperceptibly glided into the history of the Revolution, for the pur nose of introducing before us, the young nn<; ehivalric disciple of Liberty, at the most gloo my period of that momentous struggle. , Blusli ng ami panting for glory, we saw th e boy pat riot giving his sword and his treasure, and of fering Ins life for a country and people h mew not. After having carried him througl he war of the Revolution, the Rev. Orator pr; •uted his audience with a finished sketch n he life of Lafayette, from his pupillage to li ‘■ nth. This was done to illustrate more fore ily the moral sublimity of a character which has v i reeled the admiral.,on i-l t!.c world; malm It s illustrations the orator was most felicitous. \\ e shall st left. otic. “Anting the ancients, ■ said lie,) we nre inclined to thick tlmt Ciiicm m.lua most resembled him; and among t|, e tui.tlcriis, lie who was ‘first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of Ins countrymen.’ j;„t perhaps, n just position Tor him, would be envceii these two illustrious men; more ac uiplished than the one, and not so profound as the other.” But we are ndmotiislidd that wc are cxceed g our time and limits. The Rev. Orator con cluded Ins able and eloquent eulogy with the (.Mowing neat and deserved compliment to the countrymen of Lafayette: “ May l be*permitted, with such feelings as the present occasion s calculated to inspire, and which, indeed, it forbids me to repress, to offer one respectful and sincere word to those ot n.y fellow-citizens here present, who derive from France. France was a mighty phalanx for ns in time of need; nnd, in a country which is proud to give n welcome to the world, most welcome be the French—Lafayette’s country men.” The Eulogy was received by the audience with the most unaffected and heart felt ap plause. The ceremonies of the church were conclu ded by a hymn, rent! by the Rev. Mr. I’reston of the Independent Presbyterian Church, which like ihe introductory, was performed with deep nnd a fleeting melody and harmony. The order of Procession was then resumed, and moved down Bull, near its intersection w ith Bay street, where the military halted, and hav ing formed in line was passed by the Civic Procession, which received the usual salutation, and moved to the Exchange, where it was dis missed. The Military then formed upon Mon ument square, where n salute of twenty four guns pealed from the Chatham Artillery, and a like number from the remaining corps. The line of match was again taken up to the Ex change, where tho companies were discharged to their respective commanders. We should have observed that the Banner of the First Regiment was borne by toe Jiiu.-s. Tins banner is peculiarly interesting from the circumstances of its being presented in the pre sence of Lafayette during bis memorable visit to Ibis city in March, 1825. This splendid banner is the production of a distinguished la dy, formerly of Savannah, and was presented in her behalf, hy Gov. Troup to Col. Marshall, on that highly interesting occasion. On tho first side, is the arms of State of Georgia, and on the reverse a finely executed lust of Lafay ette, nhove which the American Eagle hovers crowning the bust with a wreath of laurel. On chcli side, various other a) propriate emblems decorate the Banner. We regret that our time prevents us from giving a more perfect sketch of the interesting ceremonies of the day. It was a day dedicated to Gratitude, and most sincerely and devoutly did her devotees worship at hty shrine. The grave of Lafayette, i* the hearts of Americans. “ So sleep the brave who sink to rest. With all their country’s honors blest.” LOUISIANA. The election for Governor, Members of the Legislature, and a Senator to Congress, com menced in Louisiana on the 7th. It is highly prolmble that the whole of the Ahti-Jackson ticket will he carried. Edward D. White, the late Representative in Congress from that State, is the candidate for Governor, and Henry John son fur the Senate of the United States—both “ good men and true,” and decided enemies to “ Figure Heads” and ftlols. The New Orleans Mercantile Adveitiser of the Bth, thus speaks of the result of the first day’s election: “ * Once more to the branch, dear friends.’ Yesterday we were three to one. By exerci sing n proper energy, we can keep so. Rome ’ expects every son will do his duty. The Tar quins must he expelled. “ The whole of the votes polled yesterday were 452.” Cholera on the Mississippi. —The Randolph (Term.) Recorder of the 21st June says:— “This desolating pestilence still traverses the lower part of the Mississippi. Several boats have lately passed up from Orleans, having bu ried from 6to 15 passengers. The Kentuckian passed up last Tuesday, having buried 18, principally Dutch emigrants. The disease breaks out nnd confines its* If almost exclusive ly among crowded deck passengers, who neg lect all ucce&sary precaution of cleanliness, and against exposure to the burning sun and night air. Prudence, cleanliness, anti pure air, form, at this tune, a sufficient safeguard against its ravages.” Another Rival Sea Port. —The beautiful town of Newark, (N. J.) says the New York Commercial Advertiser, Ims been made a port of entry, and Archer Gifford, Esq. appointed Collector of the Customs. We wish the citi zens of this port every advantage they expect to derive from their new commercial situation. In enterprise they are not excelled by any bo dy of men in the Union, and from their great manufacturing establishments, we hope they will he enabled to send forth increased supplies to our fellow ci’.'zens in every section of our extended empire. Tiie President’s Frank. —We think it was in the winter before the last, that Congress pas sed an act to permit a fae-similc of the Presi dent’s signature, to he used, in signing the Land Patents. It was represented that an immense number of these patents, for which the owners land were anxiously looking, remained unex ecuted because the President had not the tinre o sign them. It is a well known fact that many liousnnds of these patents still remained un gned, and yet the President, regardless of the nterests of the poor planters, finds sufficient ime to frank documents, electioneering docu nents, loading down the mails, nnd flooding the country with them.— Natchez Cour.
