Why, he had better have married the gar

TIE GREAT NEE TING -

Ga Saturday last large and respecta-
BILE meeting was held in the court house. in
this town, for the purpose of passing reso-
buttons approving the course pursued by
the President towards the United States
bank. The number of the meeting has
been variousIy estimated. 1t was proba-
bly, not far from 800; certainly not more
and from one fourth to one third of whom
were individuals, opposed to the course OF
the Administration, attracted probably by
motives OF curiosity, and who for the sake
ot common delicacy declined to vote on
the questions proposed Mr.. w. w. HAP
ny presided, aud Mr.. JonN w. Evans, act
ed as secretary.
Directly after the meeting adjourned
and before the dispersion of the people,
JOSIAH LANBoEN, Esq. rose to vindicate his
own, and the conduct of Others engaged
with him in circulating and obtaining sig.
natures to the memorial. Il had been Sta

procuring signers. He challenged any one

he pronounced sach statement to be base

judgment may be formed by the following
extract from what it contains concerning

'One word in conclusion: Daniel Web

was not his client, and he was opposed to
it. His unbiased opinion, as representa-

COMMUNICATIONS.
FoR THE WING

OR THE WING.
There is, perhaps, no single cause that
Operates with SO constant and at the same
so powerful an influence upon the human
mind, as EXAMPLE. Every day we live,
we are to a greater or less extent subject
to its influence. All have felt and ac-
knowiedged the vast Importance of good ex-
ample, and the dangerous influence of bad :,
upon The human mind. But it is chiefly
upon the minds of the young that its influ-
ence is felt to the greatest extent. Look
at the infant as it recllnes IN the mothers
lap; does it behold the countenance of its
parent fondly smiling upon him, its feelings
at once respond, it appears cheerful and
happy, and its countenance is in its turn
lighted up into smiles; but let a frown pass
over the mothers countenance, and it is
instantly reflected in that of the child, and
change at once takes place IN the whole
state of its infant feelings. We find in
perusing the memoirs of those who have
been the brightest ornaments of the age
in which they lived, that generally their
high characters as men, and their exlen-
slve usefulness in the world, may, in a
great measure, be ascribed to the operation
Of this single cause. 1t is to this that
christianity is indebted for many of her
noblest champions. And while we rejoice
that good example is found to exercise so
favorable an influence, every philanthro-
pist must lament that bad example should
at the same time be found to hold a very
opposite, and, if possible, a still more pow
erful influence upon the human mind, in
Whaling every .virtuous principle of our

Love Is the epi,ome of our whole duty :;
and all the enderments of clety, 50 long
as they are lawful and honest, are not only
consistent with, but parts and expressions
of it. .,t
Marriage eniarges the scene of our hap

marriage whe'e both meet, happy.
Women 60 luiher in love than men, but
men outstrip than in friendship.
As some wmen lose their reputation

of virtue, so Others preserve thel. by their
discretion only.
Women are ,leased with couriship, and
the mos, disdaiful cannot but be complai-

Some men say that il is hard to deter

maids reserve or wfe's forwardness.
Women are generally accessories to their
own dlshonour; br did they not flatter them
selves, men could not SO easily de,leve them
Valour was assigned to men, and chas-
tity to women, as their principal virtues,
because they are the most difficult to prac-
tice.
A woman that has but one lover thinks
herself 10 De no cUquette; she that has Sc
vera, concludes herself no more than
coquette.
Reciprocal love is justice; constant lore
is tortitude; secret love is prudence
1t is the hardest thing in love to feign it
where it Is not, or hide il where it is; but il
is easier counterieited than concealed.
Women tell US they would not sin if we
did not tempt them. We answer, we could
not tempt them if they did not invite US.
The face of her we love is the iairest of
sighs, and her Voice the sweetest harmon,
i'll the world.
A man is more reserved on his friends
concerns than his own; a woman on the
contrary, keeps her own secret better than
another's.
