TUESDAY M(tHM.M At (i. 2u, W2.
In the House of Kepi esentatives of lite
Legislature of Tennessee, now in session,
the following rcsoluiioii.'Vis introduced
by Mr. Miller) and unanimously adopted i
Jlenhcd, a the opinion of the members com
posing tlio (jcncral Assembly of the Mate of
Tennessee, That the name of Maj, lien.- A
liiuw JrKni, be Submitted to the, considera
tion of the people of the United States, at the
approaching election for the Chief Magistracy,
No man deserves more .of his country
than Gen. Jac kso.v ; and the pages of our
history contain few names which will go
down to posterity with greater eclat linn
Lis. Were armies to be commanded, we
know of no man in whom we would soon
er confide ; but in selecting a candidate
for President, we could point to several,
who, in our opinion, are greatly prefer
ble. Gen. Jackson's talents are of a high
order ; his character is stamped with firm
ness and decision ; and place him on a
proper theatre, and he would cover him
self with hono, and his country with h lo
ry. Place hint at the helm in times of
- f;reat emergency, and he would probably
guide the National Ship over (we reging
; and tempestuous ocean of danger into the
. Prl f safety ; but in a time of tranquili
ty, and with brisk and favorable gales, we
V should greatly fear he would csrry too
much sail.
One reason given by some of the south
western papers, why Gen. Jackson should
Ite elected President is, that he is the on
ly man who can cleanse the Augean sta
ble at Washington. Now we consider it
a piece of absurdity, if nothing worse, to
compare our government, now in its in
fancy, to the Augean stable. In the old
and corrupt governments of Kurope,
which have stood for centuries, the com-
par t sdrT mljjfit : be a good one ; but it is not
applicable here- We do not deny that
there are abuses which need correction ;
but to sly that the administration of our
government is grossly corrupt, is a libel
on the country ; and to otter it as an ar
gument for the election of Gen- Jackson,
i, an insult to the good sense and discern
incnt of the people.
The Trustees of the University of Xo.-ih-Car-olina
have presented to the Legislature of Ten
nessee, a memorial respecting the escheated
lands, the right to w hid) has been invented in the
University. The memorial insists that N. Caro
lina retained the right of issuing military war

We have received a copy of the above

who. likewise made an argument, much
admired, before the committee to whom
the memorial was referred. The result is
doubtful. The state of the case, from a
hasty perusal of the memorial, seems to
be this i The Legislature of Nortli - Caro -
1 Una, at their session in November, 1789,
auihoiiscd their Seniors in Congress to
ivunvey to the United States all the right,
title, and claim which this state had to the
sovereignty and tcnitory of the lands now
formiiiifthc state of Tennessee, upon cer

Tennessee to perfect titles to lands re-:
J served to North-Carolina by the art of
cession of 1789, expressly reserving, how
ever, to North-Carolina exclusively the
I f
right cf inuing military warrant. I his
at,was ratified by Tennessee, and recciuu
the assent of Congress. This right of i
suing warrants, the ntcmoria contends,
i r ..-cssariiy implies the exclusive ri;;ht of
j judging and determining in what cases,
and to whom, variants Bhonld be isuued ;
and that Tennessee is bound, by the com
pact, to perfect these titles. The Legis
lature of Tennessee, however, refut.es to
do this, until a floard of Commissioners,
which it has appointed, shall have decided
whether these warrants were properly is
sued or not ; thus rendering t lie right of
issuing warrants, reserved to North-Carolina,
of no kind of effect whatever. Whe
ther this conduct be not violating the ob.
ligations of contracts, we leave the public
to judge. Tennessee, it appears to us,
has laid herself under an obligation to
perfect the titles of all land warrants is
sued by North-Carolina, without exami
nation ; and although she may thus be ex
posed to fraud, yet she miht safely, we
should think, confide in the honor and
good faith of Nyilh-Carolina, that no mil
itary warrants would be improperly issued.
"The comity which exists between inde
pendent states, forbids the presumption
that the warrants," placed in the hands of
the Trustees of our University, as the
assignees of claims to which there are no
heirs living, " were fraudulently or malu
fidc issued by North-Carolina."

Taily marri.i;es furnish us with a verr
striking cause that retards the advance of
science. For it is manifest that the cares
! and anxieties attendant on domestic con
rems, generally damp that ardour which
ounht to burn in the breasts of those who
pant after a reputation for philosophic and
literary acquirements. From the numer
ous interruptions inseparable from the
just rcovcrnment and economy rif a fami
ly, the mind becomes agitated, and ne
cessarily diverted from that abstraction of
thought aiut tinrunVd rotnrwwMrr, rhlch
are absolutely requisite for successful
study. 1 he creat influence of the fe
male sex over society in genersl, is ad
exemplified dailv, in. the fact, that the
rich, the gay, the fashionable and the vol-
atiie beau, no matter now supernciai ne
may be, is at all times received with
smiles of approbation, and his company
courted on all occasions; while the ictir-
inu, unassuming, and polished gentleman,
whose mind is highly cultivated, meets
cither with a cool reception, or perhaps

higher lirtlrs. In thi eohduct we per-
reive the ttlaiin"; defects in female etUica
tion. How little attention can be ptdJ to
the improvement of the mental qualities,
when beauty, the decorations ol person
and other unsubstantial considerations, are
permitted to preponderate over sense,;
knowledge, and genuine worth of charac
ter. It is owing to the present state of our
society, that reciprocal improvement, one
of the greatest benefits flowing ftjtn an
intercourse between a select number ol
both sexes, is precluded from producing
its happy effects. Uut we anticipate the
time, when learning shall he more highly
respected, and when literary acquirements
and extensive in formation, associated with
a strict moral character, shall be sufficient
recommendations to admit persons pos
sessed of them, into all respectable as
semblies. I hat the United States may boast of
cititfrnsjwhose talents, profession knowl
edge, and scientific research," would ren
der them an honor to any community.
we feel a conscious pride in acknowledg
ing i but we have to lament that these en
lightened men have not associated, with a
view of facilitating their studies and dif-
fusint knowledge more extensively. For
by concentrating the power of many
minds, the labors concomitant on such
pursuits, being divided, must necessarily
be diminished as respects each individual,
and consequently the objects will be more
easily accomplished. We had reason but
lately to anticipate that Mecklenburg was
about to redeem her former character :
for while it is conceded on all hands, that
this county has risen to a full competition
with other counties in this st;ite, in wealtli,
in political importance, and in a commer
cial point of view ; it is a melancholy
fact, that literature has been shamefully
neglected. When we consider the impro
ved state of society in literature, we
should consult the most proper means to
render its progress useful. By reviewing
the history of our species, we shall see
how various capacities have been unfold
ed by education, and their characters
formed for eminent usefulness. We
have another cause in the neglect of pre
paratory education, and that is the neg
lect of selecting competent tutors to iu
struct our children. Let us look around
and see how many permanent schools
there are in this county, and how many
of them are doing good. Sorry J am to
say, but few : in short, I have seen none
that appears to be formed upon so solid
abase as the Spratt's Ville School. It is
under the direction of nine competent
trustees, and two of these trustees meet
at the school-house weekly, to see that
the children make a real, not a supei ncial,
itnpiovcmcnt. We shall conclude by say
ing, that the tutor of the Spratts Ville
School deserves the praise and thanks of
t i r - . . i -
an Ms employers, mr instructing ineir
childten in such a rapid and solid manner.
I repeat a.Vin, it is time we should awa
ken from our fethargic state, and not suf
fer Mich gross impostures to be practised
upou us, as have been by pretended, mis
ci able, and incompetent teachers.

ON rREK SCHOOLS.
NEW-YORK, HLY 6
Wc are informed that between two and
three thousand poor children are daily in-
st rue ten in the Free Schools of this city
(real care is taken to instill into their
minds those judicious maxims and those
mora! sentiments, which are well calcu
lated to render them useful in the wide
thcitre of life, and to restrain them from
the indiscretions of youthful folly. But
few spectacles can be more interesting
than those which these schools exhibit,
as vou enter them. To see four or five
bundled poor children, standing in little
!prol;p,, j,nJ Koing through their tasks,
with soberness and attention, in the same
hall, cleanly in their drrss, and orderly in
their conduct, is well calculated to inspire
the mind with no uncommon reflections.
They are instructed on the Lancaster iaii
p!n, and make rapid progress. Their
manner of reading is loud, distinct, and
correct, and many cf them write with
ease, grace and beauty.
If there be any thing in our civic econ
omy worthy of deep and constant atten
tion, it is our Free School establishments
in this city. Already they have sent forth
about fsurtrrn thounand poor youth, well
educated, and fit for useful employments ;
and w hat is truly remarkable, not one oi
these boys was ever arraigned in our
criminal court, or accused of committing
a public oflencc. This fact speaks vol
umes. It dilates the heart of the philan
thropist with tlelicht and joy. It point
out the path to prevent pauperism and
guilt in our metropolis. It points out the
true way to preserve our moral and civil
institutions, and to plant around them a
Uuinij wall of defence and security.

A few mornings since, about 6 o'clock)
while the boy attending the atore of
Messrs. F. k XV. I). Avery, 214 Pcai!
street, N. York, was engaged in opening
the windows, &c. a stout negro entered
and inquired for Mr. Avery, saying he
wanted to buy some goods. The boy re
plied that Mr. A. was not In, upon which
ho immediately tore from a piece of ma
dras kdkfs. one, which he lied alout the
hoy' mouth, then with a piece of twine
tied his hands, after which he shut down
the windows, locked the door und com
menced opening the drawers, in one of
which he found the store pocket book,
containing between 50 and 60 dollars in
money, and notes amounting to between
eight and i.ine hundred dollars Upon
finding, then, a ball of twine in his search,
he tied the boy to a post in the back part
of the store. He then opened the desk
with the key which he found in the pock
et book, (having no occasion to use a large
chisel which be had secreted about him
for that purpose,) ant) took out about 8 or
10 dollars in change ; after which, turn
ing to the boy, he said that if he told of
the transaction, or described his person
or dress, that he would murder hirn if he
should meet him in the street. The
scene was closed by his locking the ioor
on the outside, depositing the key under
the door, and deliberately walking oil with
his booty. A. York fiufur.
From the Wasminjlon (Georgia) News Extra.
Last night a man by the name of James
Vineyard, was shot in attempting to rob
the stable of Osborne Stone, of a horse.
Ilis wound is considered mortal by the
physician who was called to attend him.
This man being on the point of death,
made a full confession of his past life, and
particularly of what brought him in ihil
part of Georgia. From his confession,
and other corroborating circumstances,
we are enabled to lay before the commu
nity the outlines of a deep laid plot to de
fraud and rob the citizens of their goods
and chattels.
It appears that a society has been form
ed of counterfeiters and horse stealers,
which embraces the Mates of Kentucky,
Tennessee. Alabama, Georgia, Noith and
South-Carolina. This society has agents
in these states, which pass the countet fcit
notes and sell the horses stolen. This
James Vineyard, who is dying, was bran
ded and w hipped in Huntsvillc, for horse
stealing; broke jail 4lh April last, and
bended his steps towards Georgia. He
arrived a few days ago in this place, on
foot, with a man by the name of Hender
son, who Vineyard says is his uncle -Henderson,
who calls himself Smith, tind
sometimes Owen, came to this place on
horseback, tit the same time. This Hen
del son started yesterday at about 12 o'
clock for Augusta. He has in his pos
session about g40,000 of counterfeit ma
ncy ; he tides a Cue bay horse, with i
pood saddle, holsters and martintralc. He
j h a stout, athletic man, about 40 vears of
age
Yestcrdav two of the same gang
left this place for Augusta ; one whose
name is Kobert Cressnp, is about 5 feet
10 inches high, stout made, black hair
and eyes ; he wore a black surtout caat
The other by name John AlIsop,is about
the middle size, dark hair and eyes ; he
was dressed in mixed homespun cloth.
The intention of these gentlemen, it ap
pears, is to go to Augusta, Savannah and
Chailrstoh, where they have associates,
to pass their counterfeit notes, and to tell
the siolen horses their comrades arc to
bring to them from Tennessee and Geor
gia. There is a connection between them
and the individuals lately detected at Tus
caloosa i an account of which was insert
ed in this paper a few weeks ago. This
is all we can sty at present: should any
ihitimoie transpire, we shall hasten to
inform the public of it.
The citizens of Augusta, Savannah and
Charleston, must be on the alert.
Two deputy sheriffs of this county are
in pursuit of Henderson, Cressup and
Allnp.
