Notification IN Georgia Under this head
we noticed, OH the S0th ult, an article on the
:. s,uns of the times" from the Alexandria Ga.
ze,te. in which the Editor Of the Gazette had as
serted. that - Georgia is wavering and Virginia
has large party united in feeling with those in
the two other States, '-(South Carolina aud
Geory;a.) The Gazette OF the 9th instant has
published our comments with the approving re.
marks Of the veteran Editor Of the Richmond En-
ouirer, rs s calculated to give the Gazette en-
courayiuy hopes" As Georgians having no in
terests to crafty, but those OF the people, we
thank the Enquirer and the Gazette for their
cnn;d.nce in our assertions. An effort was made
IN our last Legislature to countenance the doc
,r;ne of 8. Notification" How was it met? BY
the adoption Of the following Resolution, which
WA. carried in the House by vote OF 102 to 81,
and afterwards in the Senate, by vote Of 4S
to %:
Resoired, That we abhor the doctrine Of Null
LITIGATION as neither peaceful nor c0nstituti0n-
al remedy, but on the contrary as tending to CT.
vi, commotioh and disunion, and while we de-
More the rash aud revolu tionary measures re.
Gently adopted by convention Of the people Of
South Caroiua-we deem it paramount duty
10 warn our feiiow.citizens against the danger
of adopting her e,ischievous policy.
Is il not then apparent that the People Of Geor.
ea, through their Representatives, are IN the Ian
euage Ut the Enquirer" in relation to the great
body Of the citizens Of Virginia, - soand 10 the
core" But as Georsians, swelling with an ar
dent attachment for our native soil, "a soil wa.
tered by the blood Of Revolutionary Patriots
we will not disguise the fact that an effort is now
making by many persons in Georgia 10 extend
doctrines which will, if countenanced by the
people, place the State before ihe world 10 the
ridiculous light in which South Carolina was
placed by the advocates Of South Carolina Null.

Can they effect their in;entinns? We answer.
If the People are true to themselves. thew
adhere to the sentiments which they entertained
last vear,-of which we have not doubt. and
if they 90 to the polls determined to support men
for office whom ,hey know to be for Union, the
State is safe.-SdVannah Georgian.

LINES BY THE LAKE SIDE.
BY BISHOP DoANE.
This placid lake, nv gentle girl
Be emblem of thy life
As full Of peace and purity
Az free frum storm and strife:
No ripple on its tranquil breast
That dies not with the day;
No pebble in its darkest depths,
But Guivers in Its ray
And see, how every glorious form
And pageant Of the SKIES
Reflected from its CLASSY face,
A mirror'd image lies
So, be thy spirit, ever pure,
To God, to virtue gwen!
And thought, and word. and action bear
The imagery Of Heaven.

Oh! beautiful thou art,
Thou sculpture. like and stately River Queen!
Growing the depths, as with the light serene
Of pure heart.
Bright Lily Of the wave!
Rising in fearless grace With every swell,
Thou seem'st as if a spirit meekly brave
Dwelt in thy cell:
Lifting alike thy head

Whether with foam or pictured azure spread
The waters be.
What is like thee, fair Hover,
The gentIe and the 6rml thus bearing up
To the blue sky that aiabaster cup, -
As to the showers
Oh! Love is most like thee,
The Love Of Woman; quivering to the blast
Through every nerve. vet rooted deep and fast,
Midst Lilies dark sea.

Still buoyanty ABOVE the pillows might,
