TUESDAY MOWNLMl, Jl I.Y 2. m, s , We arc requested tb mention, tbat the Ucv. disqualified to judge of the nature and ex-'f-tt i. it.. . .i.i' . . . I ...... r i i... ...u "viuii, in imc Mcuioniai persuasion, Will preach at the Court-House in this place, on Tuesday evening, the 9th instant. Notice of the time will bo given by ringing the bell , Mr. Stanly in his Speech upon the Convention question)! asks," Will not a Convention bo unrestrained , Will it not have absolute power ? Who can control it ?" It is a pity be should need informs lion on these points ; every fchobl-boy could tell him, that the fieofile can control It ; and moreover) that the Constitution of the United States) which guarantees tocv ery State a republican form of govern xnent, could restrain it. Besides, the do ings of a Convention would be of no force, Until they had received the sanction of the ieotle. M Absolute power" means unlim ited i the term) therefore, cannot be op plied to a Convention, because it would be controlled by the people,'and its powers limited by the Constitution of the Union. Mr. S. talks of a Convention, as though from its decisions there would be no ap peal ; as though it would play the tyrant like any Turkish despot, and take away Jife and property at its will t Now every body knows that this is all idle talk ; a mere shift for lack of argument. The people would delegate to no body of men whatever, such power ; in fact, tliey could not. Supreme power is inherent in them ; and they could no more dispossess them selves of this attribute, than an individual 'Could deprive himself of immortality. In another part of his speech, Mr. S. again asks, " Shall not the will of the master, the people, be preferred to the yill6f tbe . servant- the legislature I" Here he grants all that we contend for. Here he acknowledges that the will of the people should be preferred. If the -will of the people be in favor of a Con vention, and the will of the legislature in opposition to it, that of the former, ac cording to Mr. Stanly's own admission, should take precedence. Let the will of the people, then, be ascertained : but Mr. S. will oppose this. Here lies the incon sistency ! He admits that the will of the people should be obeyed ; and at the same time strenuously opposes the only means which can make him acquainted with that jvill t Some weeks since, we sportively ob served, 'hat nearly one-third of the voters of Halifax were candidates to represent that ancient and venerable town in the next Ceneral Assembly. .When pen ning that paragraph, little did we dream, ("good easy man,"j what a siorm we were brewing shout our heads I Our re mark's, intended all in good humor, great ly excited the inflammable gases of the editor of the Compiler, and he has ex ploded upon us, like " Gun, trumpet, blunderbuss, and thunder." We hope he lias sustained no injury from the discharge ! ' So far, v are st fe. If, however," we have either insulted our brother type, or unjustly scandalized Old &rym, by underrating the number of her voters, wc hold it magnanimous to ask forgiveness, and readily promise to correct the mUtake as soon as the Com piler furnishes us with documents, show ing the true number of voters designa ting mulattots, blacks, whites, male and female. We say female ; for, be it know n tbat under our present conktiiuiton, ilia females of, Halifax, possessing certain qualifications, are ts much entitled to vote for a borough member as Mr. Wright himself ; this is the opinion of excellent judges in the East. (Vide constitution, Section 9. At present we will take leave of the editor of the Compiler, by recom mending to him the following advice t " At every trifle scorn to take ofTence i That always shows great pride, or h'ttla sense." , EDUCATION'. . The Governor of slas&v.lmsrtla, his mes sage to the legislature of that state, hns live fob lowing appropriate and just remarks on the sub jeet of education. "In nothing was the piety, the good sense and the patriotism of the fathers of New Ld gland more conspicuous, than In their early care to provide fur the instruc- lion of children mi J youth. Tho least reflcrtioo. is sulfiderit, to satisfy every thinking mind, that the i ihis of scll-gov eminent are not to be preserved unless they ore known and duly estimated -ant! that destitute of mental culture men are incupidile of sustainiiur a burl) and honor I able independence. In proportion as ig- i iwance prevails among a people, wcy are tent of their rights and privileges, whe tlier civil or religious ; and in the same proportion are liable to become the dupes of cunning, or the dependents of power. What motives, then, arc wanting to in duce the citizens of our happy country to cherish our literary institutions f to the ef ficacy of our colleges, . Massachusetts ts indebted, under the benediction of heaven, for her distinguished rank as a community Her liberty, her. constitution, her laws, her prosperity, and her lame, have resulted from the wisdom of her sons, elicited and matured under the genial influence of lit erature and science j while her Town Schools, in which her sages and statesmen have commenced their career of glory, are calculated to awaken the youthful in tellect, to inspire e sense of character, and prepare the great mass of the people for understanding and defending their rights." We have, at different times, called the attention of our reader to this subject, and endeavored to impress on their minds a proper conviction of its importance and we again request them to take it into serious and prompt consideration. It can not be a matter of indifference to them, whether their children shall grow up in ignorance and vice, or, moulded by the plastic hand of education) become the or naments and pillars of society ; whether those who are to succeed them, be virtu ous and enlightened freemen, or ignorant, grovelling slaves. No.. They cannot but vih their children may be wise and good and education will make them so. We hold it an axiom, that a well educated peo ple will be a virtuous people and that an ignorant people cannot, for any length of lime, be a free people. It is the duty of every one, then, to contribute towards the support.. of. public . instructton?--brcausc every one is interested in the welfare ol society. It is the duty of parents to edu cate their children ; but if misfortune or poverty renders them unable, the duty is then transferred to the state. If this be true, how stands it with North-Carolina ? Has slit complied, not only with tiit duty, but with an express provision of the con stitution ? As far as we can learn, she has. done neither. ' More anon. EMILT, THE IXDI.Vi' PRISCISS. Most of our readers with doubtless re collect the story of M Emily, the Indian Princess," which was published in the Car olinian sometime since. It was wihtcn by a gentleman from whom we have le eched several valuable communications ; and although we supposed the story might , .L-i'i.1 i . . be- rather highly wrought, yet we had no j Mr . GOUDimematciiai tacts were correct, iiui if the statement in the Jugu,ta Chrmide, (which follows,) is to be relied on, Emily ", purely a creature of the author fancy and th story, though welHold, loses half its interest, by destroying its credibility. It is possible, however, the Chronicle may have been misinformed ; and that Amity, if not the south-western Ftcahontas, is at least undeserving the character whu.li he has given her. And this will appear more than probable, when we take into view the ' r.rt. that hn fni-lish travt-lW K. :..rn i . b . " an account of the same event, which dif- fcrs not materially from that of our tor- j respondent. Be this as it may, ho ever, ' the editor of the Chronicle has related his1 ,. , . . ,. . ' story wun a good ueal ol humor ; and il j it docs not excite interest, cannot fail to atnuse: .! com rf and anlmtrie U;t!r f EJ1ILT, U.e lntiian PrinetM. . It is the fashion with some people to h&. gin with the first page of a paper, and read regularly through. If such it tho C8se with any of our friends they vullhaec been gratified by the article preceding this, to the amount of nearly two columns. l iction is often more amusing iliun tr ality, and on that account wc dislike to do awav with any part of the delusion aris ing from the story of " Lmilt, tub Ik man Fhikcess but in order in cblige some of our friends, we offer fe public another account cf the would -Le South Western Pocahontas. The name of our Heroine, is Mttir ; she was the daughter of Francis, the Sem inole Prophet, commonly Cii'leu by the IndLns Hillls-hnjo, or the Craty Doctor. Nature made her form as uninviting as that of any other Stpiaw rid k lc-r fa ther was three quarters white, her com pletion was of a muddy colour, having spots of the copjver, running into spots of yellow spd black. - At the point of thne, when the roman tic part of her hbtory commenced, our hcroini had been made a widow; but whether her first husband died from wounds received in battle, or from having eat too much Sokey, we have not as yet been able to learn. To the main point however She was still in her weeds, when tfull ftr'vute who had deserted from the draughted portion of the Georgia Militia, tilted unaware upon the Indian camp. As hi prisoner, the Prophet was disposed to have hhn put to death ; but as liquor had been scatcc for some time with them, Milly proposed that he should be told to the Spaniards for Hum. This was an agreeable proposition, and he was ac cordingly sent to St. Marks, and was ac tually told for' a Quart. Previously to his departure, however, each of the Indians cut ofT a lock of his hair, as sui h an article gives the possessor a war name and when our troops reached St. Marks, he was n bald as an Eagle. .At the close of the Seminole campaiga, our Hero returned to Georgia, but was shortly after taken into service as a waiter, by a field officer of the United States' army ; and it was when they returned to Fort Gadsden, Hut ihe courtship took place. Milly came in with a party of half starved Indians, tome weeks before ; and by that time, had become quite a favorite with the ftoldiers, and instead of feeling horror-stricken at the hight of white men, she afforded every evidence that she liked them as well as she did whiskey, at least. Accordingly when our Hero's master told her that the people of Milledgcville, feel ing a deep interest concerning her, had subscribed S600 to promote the marriage, she pouted at a great rate ; and was easi ly prevailed upon by hersuitor'scomiades, to refuse the money and himself to boot. She remained some time in the American Camp; and in a month or two after the courtship, she married an Indian, who had never been able to distinguish 'himself sufficiently to get a name that he could be known by : for we understand it to be the case, that the common Indians lue no names. Our informants left the Indian country, shortly after ; and know nothing further, concerning her.. The ll'aihington Rrjmblican, and Conrftsienal - We observe that Thomas L. M'Kcnney, Esq. of Georgetown, D. C. has issued proposals fir publishing at the s;atof government a new pa. per under the above title.

Radicals arc no favorites w '.di the Editor j and, judging of hia powers front the manner in w hich tie lately handled a ipteclt of air.

If thia part of his plan Is executed ith truth, judgment, and intrepidity, it cannot full proving very useful in its eflects, and highly Interesting to the public. We fear, how ever, that the Had ieal tsill come off radier shabbily In hi stric ture. Cut as tli'm tirw wftr, the Radical, Is ?ut lit tle known in our sequestered part of the coun try, it might not be amiss to introduce them to th more intricate acquaintRnce of our readers. To do this fully 'would require more time than a t can just now spare we shall, however, in a few werks, rwume the stlyect. At present, wt will content ourselves ty givirtij- the following1 further extract from the propectui of the new paper ; ' Tarty diwntioni had subsided, end were Mp. idly floating down the tide of oblivion, when new opposition, aawining to itself a name for. eign to our institutions, s uldenly appeared, and attempts to cur the seeds of rreah dUeonk Under soeoi'ius and popular pretests, tnis new and audacious enemy aim,, with tha overthrow of the present adni'uuaiiuiion, at the prostration of those establishments which hav been rear c:l by wisdom and sanctioned by experience. The character of this spirit, though it profees to be that of reformation, may be estimated by the tona of its Principles, and by tha palpable meana on which it relics for success. Hy folsc charges, and liighly-wroturnt misrepresentations, it levels obloquy against the Prtidt:tit, and those members of the Executive who hwa evinced the most enlightened and disinteresled zthl lit upholding the true interests of the country.'

The tucks in the gown of a young lady, (for all ere youn; who wear them) are sweet little ladders of love, for him to climb up and be bappy. The more nu merous tlier are the loftier the aim, and the more ambitious the pursuit. As the taunt aud neat shrouds of a vessel indicate her readiness for sea, while a dismantled hull marks the period of uselessness and of i cpobe, so the tucks on a gown indicate the youth, gaiety and elasticity of the wearer while a lie who has no tucks in her gown, and has of course worn them all out, may as well be laid up in ordinary, ' Charlttton Courier.
