MOULDING Bust. We understand an
Italian artist of this city has secretly dis
inferred the body ri Z. Hicks, the celebra-
ted Quaker Preacher, and moulded his
bust Ii seems that he had applied to
the friends Of The deceased to lake a mou /
d'nS previous to his interment, but was
refused. Suspicion being excited that the
grave had been disturbed, it was examin-
ed, and some bits of plaster were found
adherlng to the hair of the deceased. The
enthusiastic Italian was visited, aud own
ed that, as he had been denied the privi-
lege OF taking bust before interment, he
had adopted this only methed Of obtaining
one. We have heard nothing more on
the subject, except that the bust is a
most excellent likeness.

THE TRUE CAUSE.

We have repeatedly said, that the opposition
to Georgia. in the maintenance Of her Just right
TO all the lands within her limits, had no. origin
in philanthropic feelings for the Indians; and
hat the true ground of this opposition was the
fear of this State increasing in wealth and pop
ulation. Professor, Hare, at meeting in Phi
ladelphia, to memorialize Congress in behalf of
the Cherokees, delivered speech, in which the
truth is told. He observes, z" The question is
not whether Geotgia shall have less perfect
sovereignty 1t is whether she shall exercise it
over an unduly extensive territory whether
three hundred thousand Georgans ought not
to content to hold for themselves, their slaves,
and their posterity, lager country than has
been allotted to fiftcon hundred thousand New
Workers, or to twelve hundred thousand Penn,
sylvanians."

1t has been remarked that the discove-

rewards to which they seem fairly entitled,
whether we regard their utility, their rari-
ty, or the long course of patient labor and
previous preparation that have probably
been required for their attainment and

so much difficulty is readily communicated,

class of men who are capable of advancing
science are likely to feel great enthusiasm

which is thus afforded them, that the Pc

that they might grow while he was sleeping. Our

scarcely an excuse for any freeholder not to
have apples, pears, peaches, cherries, and puns

They grow readily, require no training, may be

To "hold the mirror up to vice.
With him was hard, alas
The worse for wine he often was,
But not "before glass;
No kind and prudent friend he had
To bid him drink no more;
The only chequers in his course
Where at a tavern door!
Full soon the sad effects of this
His franc be gan to shew,
For that old enemy the govt
Had taken hun in toe,
And joined with this an evil came
OF quite another sort,
For while he drank, himself, his purse
Was getting =" something short"
For want Of cash, he soon had pawned
One half that he possessed
And drinking shewcd him duplie ate,
Beforehand of the rest.
So now his creditors resolved
To seize on his assets,
For why, thew found that his half pay
Did not half pay his debts.
But Luff contrived novel mode
His creditors to chouss,
For his own execution he,
Put into his own house
A pistol, to the muzzIe charged,
He took devoid of fear,
Said he, Z" this barrel is my last,
So now for my last bier"
Against his lungs he aimed thv slugs,
And not against his brain;
So ne blew ou. his lights, and mono
Could blow them in again!

And gave it in these terms
