THE GIIEROICEEg

A meeting was held in this town, on Thursday evening last, for tire ayowed object of raising money 10 aid the Che rokees in prosecuting their suits against the State of Georgia. We were not present, but are informed that d speech was made by Ridge, an indian chief, in which he indolged the most violent, coarse, and vulgar abuse of the Presi- dent and the government of Georgia.
 These proceedings give rise to some reflections, and are worthy of a pass ing notice. The leading men, in get ting up this meeting, believe that the Cherokee nation is an independent, sovereign, foreign state, and of course that Ridge is d foreigner. It therefore appears, that these men were willing to Lear from a foreigner, his vulgar abuse of their government and their chief magistrate; and were willing not only to hear it, but to applaud il! for VIC arc informed that the most abusive passages were received with the great est aPplase! We arc happy to learn that there was one man although an uniform oPposer of the administration, and in favor of assisting the Chcrokees, whose honorable feelings would not per nit him to sanction such proceedings. But this gentleman, when expressing his disapprobation of the Indan's abuse of our government, was hissed down! Let us look at this subject in another light: The Indian question has been a difficult and distraeting one. It has, however, after great deIiberation been settled. The course pursued by the Government has been adopted ny ma jority of both Houses of Congress, and approved by the President. We have now the spectacle before us, of an h. dian chief going about the country ap- Pealing from this decision of the Go Yernment to tie people, getting up pub ilc meetings and memorials 10 Con- gress, encouraged and advised 10 this course by party who believe him to be foreigner.-Wofeestef RepadHcaa.

k,'oaple9ge J6r the PeoPie.-The pro- penslty of the present age is to render every thing popular, to bring every de- scription of knowledge within the reach of every class in the community. This, though it may be carried too far, so as to render all knowledge superficial, is on the whole very happy propensity. It must be productive of great good, by diilusingintelligence ofthe most valuable kind among those who would otherwise be profoundly ignorant, and by exciting an inquisitive spirit, which thus excited, may push its way to profound discove- ries and highly important resu!ts.- The little work before us, consisting of several pamphlets, printed in plain un- ostentatlonS but neat and durable form, is an admirable specimen of the modes resorted to for making learning cheap and easy. This work is not calculated. nor was it intended, to make profound adepts or learned philosophers, scholars, jurist or statesmen. Ii is q collection of useful and interesting principles and facts, laid down and communicated in a plain, ineligible. and simple manner, so as to be easily and fully comprehended by the unlearned reader. Each num- Der comprising p pages at the moder- ate price of I24 cents, embraces a gen. eral outline of the prominent principles of some department of science, suffi- cientto give the readeraninsight into it., and contains familiar reasons adapted to the unenlightened understanding. The first number is entitled Domestic Science, and explains the common occurrences of domestic life in philosophical but simple and ineligible manner. The second relates 10 Quadrupeds, the third to Origins aaad Antiquities, and the fourth to Birds. The following brief extract from the first number may be taken as a specimen of the nature and design of the work.-.Baf. Banner.
 BREAD-MAKING
 Why is aoheot more nomashing than oth- CT grain2
 Because it contains a larger quantity of gluten, which is an extremely nutri- tive substance.
 Why is rice agood substitute for spleat foHr2
 Because it contains a great deal of nutriment in a small compass, and does not pass quckly off the stomach.
 Why does stiff dough- of -four and z0a- fer soon turn sour?
 Because the water undergoes the ace tous fermentation, and becomes vinegar.
 Why is yest used i,s naaking bread.
 Because it lightens it, by infating the dough in all parts with fixed air, or carbonic acid.

Calvin Edson, the living skeleton, is at present exhibiting his "raw head and bloody bones" in this city. An arrow and the hour glass-and the figure will be complete. It looks for all the world as if the 'atomy of some dissecting room had taken it into his head to travel, and left his appropriate functions to be dis charged by proxy.
 By the way, we heard good mot of Edson the other day, or rather one of which he was the occasion. A gentle man was questioning him about his visit to Europe, and, among other things re- marked to him, You did not teii the Londoners that you fought against them during the last war?o ''Yes, l did," said Edson, ssI told them that we drove them well.o "And what did they say to that" s.Why, they made me a pret- ty good answer. One of them, says he, swell, if you drive us, you have no- thing to brag of, for are scared aHhe feshI of your bones. ."-.New Hnven Repubh- ca1.

StnVction.--A state prisoner at Smyrna, sentenced to die of hunger in prison, was found alive twcnty-eight days after his incarceration. This un- fortunate man, whose sentence has been commuted, confessed that he had pro- ,longed his existence by q box of wa fers, which also contained q small piece of gum elastic and morsel of sealing wax. After having lived for some time by cconomising this substitute for food, he began to eat the miserable paste- board box which contained those objects. Part of the lid of the box was left un- consumed when he asvisited.--Fsench Pqper.

Whg is 5ahed bread hebier than dopeA ?
 Because part of the water is expell- ed bJ the heat of tie oven in baking.
 Hhyis bfoscn bread recommended to ti5s- vQiids2
 Because il is of an aperient nature, from the bran which it contains possess ing a fesiHo0s purgatise matter.
 NAy < barley bread much less aats9tjoa.s Aaa aeheoten bread?
 Because barley contains much less gluten than wheat; and the nutrleeuess .of the grain is in proportion to is glu- ten.
 Whyis yalt ussd in making 5rcad2
 Because of its favour, and causing the dough to rise better; and its stiilen. ing the c!ammy dough made from new flour, and giving it q fair colour when otherwise it would be foxy.
 Hky are thefe tzeosorts Q ferastias c loaf2
 Because the apder surface tor crus9 rests on a tile floor of the oven, which being bad conductor of heat, scorches 1t very little, but the apper surfaces of the loaf being ali exposed to the direct influence of the hot air of the oven, are considerably scorched.
 Why is alum used al making bread?
 Because fl is said 10 whiten ill-coIor- ed flour, and to harden and whiten bread made from four which nas been malt ed. By fraudulent persons it is used as an adulteration: for large quantity of it added to the dough enables it to ab- sorb, conceal, and retain much moro wa ter than it otherwise would. Bread made from such dough will come out from the oven much heavier than it ought, and the additional weight will be merely water. Two adhcring loaves of such bread will generally separate unevenly, one taking more fromthe oth- CT than it's share.-Donoaaa.
 Wdy is tte Fermentation Qf bread pre- su03ed b 6e piaous?
 Because it depends upon the sacchaF- inc ingredient of tie flour, and the known laws of the decomposition of su- gar. The production of spirit, in the course of the fermentation of bread, in baking, which has been found to take place, is perhaps the most irrefragible proof of this theory. Flour kneaded without vest, fermented in the usual way, and enclosed in a. .distillery appar- atus, has yielded the taste and smell of spirit; and by repeated rectifcation, spirit has been thus obtained of strength sufficient to burn, and to fire gunpow- der.

Caufda.-Four times was the intre. pid spirit of Curran dared to the field in duel; but even there he could not refrain fromindulging his wonted humor. On one of these occasions, when he fought Mr. St. Leger, the other de- manding which was to fire first, Curran answered, S'that he came as a guest merely--it was for St. Leger himself to open the ball, since he gave the inY; tation." Next, seeing that St. Leger presented the pistol wide of the mark, Curran gave him the word of command 10 fire, which the other obeyed, without any mischief of course. when Curran disehargiDg his pistol in the air, the af lair ended. Another duel which he had with the Lord Chancellor Clare was equally unproductive of incident. For, as he used 10 tell the story himself, though both the eonhatants aiseharg- ed two very long cases of pistols at each other, neither of them were killed. wounded, satisfied, or reconciied; nor did either of them wish 10 prolong the engagement" In his last illness, his physician having remarked early one. morning that he coughed with much di- iiculty--'''ihat is rather surprising,'' answered Curran, "since l have been practising all night" And not long. before, having received a slgbtapoplec- tic shock, and his physician telling him not to mind if, it would pass away sI am to understand it then," said Cur ran, "only as q boyish sunauoy Knock as he door, eh?'

Editor's &ady.-Our sheet to day is filled entirely with original matter, and in looking it over and making it ready 10 be launched, irreyocably, upon the world, our mind is crossed with several thoughts. What mistakes are hidden fromu which the multitudinous eyes of the public will detect! What latent personality is lurking under demure description-Nhat political heresy dis tinguished beneath bon n.ot-Whefe has an impertinent scmieolon thrust it. self into the rightful place of a com ma-wheTe IS there letter up side down-or a ? for q 2 to mar the sense of our offering and lower our charae- ter, and disturb our dream tomorrow night when We shall discover ii but too late? Come, reader, as this is depart. ment sacred 10 familiarity, we will lay aside our editorial dignity, and you shall put off urcritical acumcn, and NC will enjoy a moments friendly examination of our own affairs. Reflect now upon the evils that have sometimes resulted to you from word carelessly spoken. Have you ever abused lawyers or doc tors; and in the midst of your animad- versions been startled by one at your elbow; or condemned the conduct of some public man and been informed in whisper that the person next you was his nephew or his son; or ridiculed book till the extraordinary coinci- dence of mods ard winks. among your hearers betrayed that the whole had been overheard by the author? But these are incidents soon forgotten and trifling when compared with the regu- lar necessity of having all your daily thoughts and ,opinions-writtcn in eve ry mood-dcnicd the advantage of a reyision-arrcstcd and exhibited to the world for deliberate inspection. And the immutability of a printed piece- When NC and the objects of our hasiy remarks, and the tastes of the times, and the very generations around shall be changed our miscellaneous com ments will be staring us in the face, and we shall be hunted by the ghosts of old paragraphs, unless (which 10 most of our fraternity would be still worse) Lethe, that potent stream, against an universal deluge from which the litera- ry world has no promise, shall silently spread its stagnant waters orer US and all our errors. That last is rather a forlorn comfort, and no consolation for reading in our own writing that we sot out for such place or that we read to a maiden while she soseed or any other of the inadyertencies to guard from which requires the eyes of an Argus.

Dr. Fro1atiin's ParoJIe Qginst Perse- eatioa.-The following beautiful imita- ton of the historical style of the old Testament, was written by Dr. Frank lin, and by him communicated to Lord Knives.
 And it came to pass after these things that Abraham set in the door of his tent about the going down of the sun.
 And behcld man bent with age coming from the way of the wilderness, leaning on staff.
 And Abraham arose and smet him. and said unto him turn in, pray thee, and wash thy feet and tarry all night and then thou shalt arise early on the morrow and go thy way.
 And the man said nay for will abide under this tree.
 But Abraham pressed him greatly, so he turned and went into the tent, and Abraham baked unievened bread and they did eat.
 And when Abraham saw that the man blessed not God, he said unto him, why dost thou not worship the most high God, creator of heaven and earth? :?
 And the man answered and said do not worship thy God, neither do call upon his name; for l have made to myself God which abideth always in my house, and proVideth me with all things.
 And Abraham's zeal was kindled against the man, and he rose and fell upon him, and drove him forth with blows into the wilderness.
 Ard God called unto him, saying Abraham where is the stranger?s And Abraham answered and said Lord he would not worship thee neith- CT would he call upon thy name; there fore have l driven him out from before my face into the wilderness.
 And God said, l have borne with him these hundred and ninety years and nourished him and clothed him, notwithstanding his rebellion against me: and. couldst not ihon who art thy self sinner, bear with him one night?

This should not be.
