~ In the legislature of Georgia the house
have laid upon the table the resolution Of the
Senate, to 90 into an election Of United States
Senator on the next day. The Georgian hopes
that it may be permitted to lie there to the end
Of the session; for as yet, there is no vacancy
in our senatorial representation. Judge Berren's
term Of Office will not expire until March Sd,
1853. His successor will almost certainly not
be called to enter upon the discharge of the du-
ties of the post until the first Monday Of De-
cember, 1853. The next legislature of Georgia
will convene a month before the commencement
of the session Of Congress, at which Judge
Berrien's successor will take his seat, leaving
ample time for his election, and his arrival al
Washington, after the meeting of the legislature
Of the State. This being the case, the duty OF
supplying the vacancy, which will occur when
Judge Berrien's term Of office expires, should
clearly devolve not upon the present Legislature,
but upon that TO be elected year after next. BY
bringing on the election now, the legislature will
place in Office gentleman whose term will not
expire until eight years after he is chosen. Is
not this too long time TO take most Of our
public men on trust!"

Col. B spoke with much emotion, and in the
course Of his remarks there was many tear in
the eyes Of his companions. He expressed regret
that their beloved chiehan, the heroic Kossuth,
was not there TO express their gratitude for the
kindness they had received at the hands Of Ameri-
cans. Kossuih, however, he did not doubt, was
even now on the great ocean that divided Liberty
from Depotism, and would soon be here to refute
the miserable ISLANDERS that his enemies had anony-
mously put in circulation. (This was home
thrust to that American aitaehs.) He concluded
by ssying-"The time is approaching when your
hearts will declare for the liberties Of the people Of
Europe. Americans, the track OF your gallant
ship has vanished from Europe, but her memory,
and that Of your country, will be cherished there
among it's oppressed people. We know that you
will never deny the graves and tombs Of your fore
fathers, nor fail help the Scaves Of Europe, and
regard them as your brothers. We call upon you
not to hesitate to take that position which God has
pointed out as your destiny"

PUBLIC OPINIoN.- Let children be early taught
to set true and just value upon public opinion.
Show them how the world has always treated
its greatest men-how it has stoned its prophets
-crucifed its Savior-martyred its apostles.
Show how fickle-how Understanding it is 10
this day-how ignorance speaks with the same
confidence or even with more, than knowledge
how the heights and depths CT the greatest
minds are measured at once by the conceit of
the smallest. Show how hard it is for people
to praise, how easy to blame. Call the atten-
ton of the young to the kind of criticisms cur
rent of both men and things in this much dreaded
society, and let them say, if they really seek ex-
cellence, whether they ought to value such criti-
cism! When they have mastered any ono sub
ject let them listen to the fppant, trivial, con
ceited, shallow judgments of the world of their
acquaintance upon it. and let them learn from that
to appreciate the worth of public opinion, and
Judge whether the desire of fame, based upon
such public opinion, is worth striving for, or
ought much to influence their motives to ac-
ton.
To appreciate great man, requires, if not
one as great, still great man, and the judg-
ment of the world, therefore, must be either
borrowed or erroneous-more frequently the
latter, as selfconceit usually supplies any detic
ency of talent.
aWhatever nature has in worth denied,
She gives in large recruits Of needful pride"
Upon whom does Fame bestow her rewards I?
Rarely upon those who most deserve them
Does conscience approve the judgment even OF
the most intimate friends with respect to our
characters? How, then. can we expect the
world or posterty to do justice? and praise or
blanc that is not discriminating and just who
would value?
