An aged man, on reaching his seventieth birth day, like one surprised, paced his hquse, exclaiming,-"I am an old'man! I am an old man." I wake at last; I've dreamed too long. Where are my three-score years and ten! My eyes are keen, my limbs am strong; I well might vis with younger men. The world, its passions and its strife, 1s passing from my g rasp away, And though this pulse seems full of life, "I'm old to-day-I'm old to-day !" Strange, that I never felt before That I had almost reached my goal, My bark is nearing death's dark shore; Life's waters far behind me roll; And yet I love their murmuring swell, Their distant breakers' proud array, And mast I,-n-wI say " Farewell?" " I'm old to-day-I'm old to-day." - This house is. mine, and those b.oad lands That slumber 'neath yon fervid sky; Yon brooklet, leaping o'er the sands, Hath often met my boyish eye. I loved those mountain when a child ; They still look young in green array; Ye rocky cliffs, ye summits wild, "I'm old today,-I'm old to-day !" - 'Twixt yesterday's short hours and me, A mighty gulf bath intervened. A man with men I seemed to be But now, 'tis meet I should be weaned From all my kind ; from kindred dear; From those deep skies,-that landscape gay-; From hopes and joys I've cherished here; " I'm old to-day,-I'm old to-day !" O man of years, while earth recedes, Lookforuward, upwaord, not behind ! Why dust thou lean on broken reads I Why still w ith earthly fetters bind Thti:ae ardent soul ? Goc give it wings, 'Mid higher, purer joys to stray! In heaven, no happy spirit sings - "I'm old to-day,--I'n old to-day." [BY ESPECIAL. aEQUEsT.)' From the Augusta Constitutionalist. JUDGE BERRIEN AND REV. 10H WESLEY. When a learned jurist and a distinguished ex Senator gives the sanction of his high name and character to the spirit of lersecutuon, agaittnt a weak and unobstrusive religious sect, it becomes hin, in proper regard 'for his own repu:ation,.to examine well the position he takes of himself or indorses in another, in seeking to achieve his uncharitable purpose. judge Berrien has throir -himaself, 'and the - influence of his name. into the political arena, on the side of Catholic proscrription. He should t carefully examine his ground, and take heed that he m:.intain the charges which he volunta rily brings torward against the Church he as sils; and that he doer not misrepresent the religious opinions of those whom he would pre scribe and degrade. He has exhumed from the musty past, a let ter of the celebrated John Wesley, written amidst the controversial heats of the last cen tury, in which the Ro.man Catholic Church is arraigned as holding grievous errors of doctrine, and seeks to stir up sectarian bigotry and intol erance in this, our enlightened day, and in this our free and tolerant country, with a view to bring down the heavy hand of oppression, through the bal.ot box, upon the heads of our Catholie fellaw citizens. Let us examine the specifications presented, by Mr. Wesley, and indorsed by Judge Berrien T'hey are lat. That the Roman Catholic Church, .by1 he council of Constance, proclaimed the doc rine, "No faith is to be kept- with heretics." 2d. "These who ackntowledge the spiritual ower of the Pope, cnn give no security for heir alegiance to any government." 3d. That Catholics - believe the Pope can ardon rebellions, high treasons, and all other owers whatever." 4. That they believe " hpower of dispena ng with any promise, oath, or vow, is another ranech of the power of the Pop.," and that :oneently the Catholic can give no security for his allegine. The extraordinary circumstarnce, that a politi al organization has made proscraption of a re ligions denomination, a part of its creed, and f ita- policy, has entailed on the secular press he novel duty of exploring theological libraries o defend the Constitution of the country and he rights of citizens under it, who profess the fath thus dragged into the arena. This. is our apology for serving up to our eders, this morning, portions of the answer of aleadinig Roman Catholic Divine, to the bill of nditment of the Rev. Mr. Wesley, drawn up n 1780, and notw preferred by .Judge Berrien as rosecutor, before the bar of public opiniott in eorgia. We quote fromo Father O'Leary,~ one of Ire and's beat and brightest intellects. He an swered the letter- of Mir. Wesley in a series of etters to thte Dublin Free Press, parta of whiTh we will quote in each of the specified points. And first, as to that celebrated and much, mis rpresented declaration of the Council of Con tnce, which eat on the case of John Hues, in the year 1414. "o FA3TH. ToBE KEPT WITH HERETICS." " At a time, then, when ambition, that insatia ble desire of elevation, that tnorm which stings the heart, and never heaves it at rest, presenated the universe with the extr.aorditnary aight of three prelates reviving the restless spirit of theI Romatn triumviate, and disturbing the peace of* ankind as tmuch with their spiritual weapons, as Octaivius, Anthony, and Lepidus had disturb-. ed it with their armed legions-at, a time when the broachera of new doctrines were kindling up the fires of sedition, and after shaking the fundttons of what was then the established rligion, were shakintg the foundations of thrones and empires-at that critical time, in 1414,.was eld the Council of -Constance, with a design,. as the fathers of that, Council .express them selves, to reform the church in her head and embers; and put an end to the ottlamities which the restless pride of three bishops, as sming the titles of Popes by the ntames of' Gregory the. Twelfth, Benedict the thlrteentth, ad John the Twenty-thaird, had brought on Europe, split into three grand fnctions by the ambition of the above-mentioned competitors." * 'h * * * * * " To the Council of Constance was eited hent John Muss, a Bohemiazn, famous for propa gating errors tending to tear the mitre from' the eads of bishops, and wrest the scepre from thei hands of kings; in a word, he was obnoxiona to. hurch and State; and if Mr. Wesley and 1 reached uap his doctrine in the namse of Ged, we woudbecoaidemned in te namie of the Kimg. Natoaats and Catholic divines would banish us from their universities, and the judges e assize would exterminate us from civil society. * * * * * -* * "Now, that uustom has rendered Mr. Wes ley's meeting-houses and mode of worship .fat miliar, and that all denominatiuns enjoy a-shar of that religious liberty, whereof he would fair deprive his Roman Catholicneighbor. has ittil hymns give no uneasiness either to- the magic trate, or his neighbors. But had Mr. - Wesle; raised his notes on the high key of civil discor dance-had he attempted by his sermons, hi writings and exhortations, to deprive the Bicn ops of the established religion, of their croziers kings of their thrones; and magistrates of-th sword of justice; long ere now would his pion labors have been crowned with martyrdom, and his name registered in the calendar of'Fox' Saints. Such, unfortunately, was the case o John Huss. Not satisfied with - overthrowini what was then the istablished religion, ani levelling the fences of ecclesiastical jnrisdic'ion he strikes at the rood of; all temporal. power, am civil authoriry. He boldly asserts that "prince magistrates. 4ec., in the state - of mortal sin. anu deprived ipso facto of all power and jurisdiction In this doctrine was envelhped the seeds o anarchy and sedition, which subsequent preach era unfolded toathe destruction of -peace-an tranquility, -lmost all over Europe; and whiel Sir William Blackstone deseribes as follows "The dreadful effects of such a religious bigot ry, when actuated by erroneousPriiples, even of the Protestant kind, are sufficiently evident from the history of the Anabaptists in Germany the Covenanters in Scotlatid, and the deluge o seotaries in England, who -murdered their sov. ereign, overturned the Church and monarchy shook every pillar of law, justice, and private property, and most devoutly established a king daps of saints in their stead." John Huss, then, after broaching the above mentioned doctrines, and making Bohemia the theatre of intestine war, is summoned to appear before the Council. He obtains a safe conduc from the Emperor Sigismund, commanding guy ernors of provinces, &c., not to molest him or his journey to, or return from Constance; but to afford him every aid and assistance. In a! the provinces ani cities through which ho pas. se, he gives public notice of his intention to ppear before the Council and stand his trial. But instead of standing his trial, and retracting is errors, he attempts to make his escape, in rder to disseminate, and make then take deep r root. He is arrested and confined, in Order that lie should take his trial, after having viola. ted his promise, and abused a safe conduct gran !ed him for the purpose of exculpating himself or retracting his errors, if proved against him be. fore his competent judges. It is here to be remarked, that John Huss was an ecclesiastic; and that in spiritual cases the bishops were his inly and competent judges. The boundaries eg he two powers, I mean the Church and State, >eing kept distinct ; the censer left to the pon. iff, and the sword to the magistrate; the Church !unfitted to her spiritual weapons; privation of ife and limb, a'nd corporeal punishments being uite of the province of the State one should swt Interlero wvith iriet-.aw-tirrbody'-of he criminal is under the control of the magis. rate, to,, jealous of his privilege to permit the ,hurch to interfere with his power-so, errone. >s doctrines are under the control of spiritual edges. too jealous of their prerogatives to per. nit the civil magistrates to interfire with their -ights. Hence, when the partizans of Huss wised clamors about his confinement. and plead td his safe-conduct the Council published the ;imus decree which has given rise to so many :avile, for the space of four hundred years, hough thousands of laws of a more iniportant ature. and of which we now think but little, ave been published sir.ce that time. The Coon. il declares, "that every safe conduct granted by he Emperor, Kings, and other temporal princes, ,o heretics, or persons accused of heresy, ought wt to be of any prjudice to the Catholic faith, or o the ecclesiastical jurisdiction; nor to hinder hat such persons may and ought to be examin rd, judged and punished, according as justice hall require, if those heretics refuse to revoke heir errors; and the person wcho shall hace romised them security, shall not, in this case, be bliged to keep his promise, by whatever tie lie nay be engaged, because he has done all that ta n his pow, r to do." I appeal to the impartial >blic, whether that declaration of the Council loes not regard the peculiar case of safe-conducta ~ranted by tempornl princes, to persons who re liable to be tried by competent and indepen. lent tribunals? And, whether it ba not an nault to candor and common sense, to give it mech a latitude as to extend it to every lawful >romise, contract, or engagement between mari md man? As if the Cauncil of Constance eant to author-ize mie to buy my neighbor's ~oodsa and after a solemn promise to pay hinm mtill to keesp his substance, and break my word. 'he church and State are two distinict and inde. yendent powers, each in its peculiar line. A nan is to be tried by the Church for erroneous lotrines; a temporal prince grants thia man a mfe conduct, to guard his person from any vio. lence which may 1e offered him on his journey nd to procure him a inir anid canidid trial on his ppearance before his lawful judges. Has not his prince done all that is in his power to dol Doth his promise to such a man authorise him Ic ntefere with a foreign and iudependent jurisdic. ion, or to usurp the rights <f another ? Do not he very word~s of the Counacil, " because be as done all that is in his power to do," prove hat lawful promises are to be fullfilled ?" * * * * * * . " Thus we see, that this superannuated charge f violation of fahth with heretics, resembles hose nightly spectres which vaniisha upon a near. r approach. We find ntothinig in this Council -ative to such a charge, but a dispute about a ass granted to a man who goes, to take his il before judges whose jurisdiction could not e superseded. Or if we intend to do justice tc nen with the same eagerness that we are disposea o injure them, we must acknowledge that the athers of that Council condemned lies, frauds aejury, and those horrors which Mr. Wesleg ould fain j~x upon the Roman Catholics. T he oudations, then, on which Mir. Wesley ham reted his wrial fatbric, being once mapped, the epertructutre must fall, of course; and hi! og train of false and unchristian assertio~nh are 'wept-away as a spider's web, before the wina i logical rules. From absurd premises folleo u absurd conclusion. Whiat preater absurdity than Mr. Wesley'a naisting 'upon a generi Council's diselmimning ~dotrine, it never taught? [ f air.

Is it not fitimient to disclaim the truth of the odious mputation, when the falsa~ creed is fixed or as? * * * * * * In-reply to the second and third points: THE sPRIJTKIAL POWER OF THE POPES. " The history of Europe proebtimts aloud, thai die Roman Catholics are iiot passive engines is the hands of Popes, and that they confine him sower within the narrow limits of his. spiritual rovinee.

Let us look nearer and compare what we see on one hand, w hat is supposed on Lte other. We see a million and a Roman Catho lics smarting under the mu ressive laws that tne human heart could.e e'ise. When they were enacted, our ine .had the lands of their fathers and the.reli' of their eduea tion. If perjury had been' cle of their be lief, they could have seeu . eir iiaihritance by takitg an oath of abjura if papal dis pensations were. in their opi' lenitives to an ulcerated conscience, when, _ ere could-the have been more seasonably' Led, than at that time and place, where thep ties of millions depended on the application. if oaths against convicnow pensations with perjury, and anticipated al tonas from future crimes, were articles of the lief.lahey would have prevented the blazing eta, which aoirch the living, and spread their enee to the dor mitories of the dead, from fling in their na tive air; and hinered cruelty, h in-disarmed in the tyrant's breast at sight m the expiring vie tim, from pursui'g t" h.: priving them their ashes wi. * "The Churt - yet one oath to - consciences. tot all the penal I use his delica! which speaks 1 sophistry cane are intereste: . .. . o,; for, by en tering into a colluniun with their flocks, and using their magic powers.to forgive all sins, past, present, and to come, they could permit them to graze on the commons orlega, indulgence ; and by turing them into a richer pasture, expect more milk and wool." .-*. * * * " In ethics, as in mathematics, there are self evident demonstrations, no proposition in Eu clid is more clear than ti~o.following: " A per son who does not think perjury a crime, " would not forfeit a guinea from reluctance to an oath." The Roman Catholics forfeit every pricilege rath cr than take an oath against their conscience," The letter of the Rev. John Wesley was written in January, 1780. The r.niwer of Rev. Arthur O'Leary was written the following month. The British channel tonly divided them. They lived in the samne day, and addressed the surme generation. We leave our readers to judge be tween them. We are divided from both by a lapse of threo quarters tof a century, and occupy a stanad on the soil of our ownt glorious America, beneath the protection shadow of a Constitution, framed in that day, which recognaises in its largest sense, religious toleration. Mr. O'Leary was a contemporary and a coun tryman of the great Burke, that noble champion of religious toleration. Like Burke, he was a man of lofty genius, and great learninig-a bril liant writer, and a zealous enemy of~ religious bigotry and fanaticism. He was the bosom friend and companion of Curran, tlte renowned Irish orator. T1hougth Curtfan was a Protestant and O'Leary was a Roman Catholic Priest, their friendship was that of brothers. The enlight ened philanthropy and chariiy of the latter cnn best be seen, through his- own liberal setntiment contained in the dediention oif his miscellaneous tracts. " I plead for the Protestant in Frantce, and for the Jew in Lisbon,as well as for the Catholic int Ireland." In addition to the above, we have quoted and referred to, time and agaoin, the langunage of the highest dignitaries o~f the Catholic Chiurch of this country-we have given the answers of the Ro man Catholic Colleges of Europe, to the Coom mittee of the British Parliam~ent, tas reported by that Commnittee. in wvhich is denied that Catho lies hold any such dnetritnes as to the power of the Puope, as is ascribed to them. The evidence on this subject is overwhelming. - *T'he penal laws' < fred the maost galling instalt no the Roman Cathodic gentry, at the time of their beingr enacted. Their hurt in~ places were- in th - ruins of old abbe~yu, rfounded by iheirancesotors. A lawt waf enacted, prohibiting to ,ury it those dreary haute of cati' and woea, and a fine of ten .hillings was to be levied on every person who assisted at the funteral. A i' entleman, speaking of a friend who was prosttated by illnteas, remarked that, he cotuld hardly recnver, aince his constitution was all gonte."

TO Ti1' PEOPIE OF COLUMBIA -A sudeietime hanig elapsed to alliy any iry feeiings whioli may have been excited in the. mindk of Dr.'#1'bes and his friends* by the eeming i iignity' whicli has bleen put upon him, by hit.ejection~ fromithi Coui-il Chamber, the unddelened deemit due to the peoile of Colum bia, n:d&just to themselves, to present to the pubihc a canm and dispassionitte statement of the e'iegmstances attending ag affair out of which Dr; Gibibes, acting asiwe hope and believe in ,de'r the*txeitsment and irritation of the moment, lias 'ndeavored td-create in -the public mind a fAling of hoiitilitg towardi us. From a recent editorialet his, hsiwever, we are happy to perceive 'hat hejs- now able to take a wore rational and propercView of the subject, and -is willing to re gqrrd hiloirmal ejection from the Council Chadt be merIis.-i a mode. of testing a novel and :n. teresting.hrgal~question, and not as designed to cast indignity or insult upon him, or as.a.proper and just cause for personal animo.sity towards the.membere of tfie City Council. Relying con fidetly up.oin Dr. Gibbes's seii o of justice and propriety, we cannot but believe. that, upon a more dispassionate.review of the afftir, heill be convinced that on this occasion he has, ft.r a time at least; permitted his feelings to get the better of his judgment, and has given to this matter s character and direction which, we are confident, he - never deliberately intended it should take. We do not design reeapitulating the hist'ry of.Dr. Gibbes's hostili:y towards the ipresiet Cliy Council, nor do we intend to speen. late as to its probable origin. What we desire is, to present as briefly as possible the reasons which influenced us in-refusing that gentleman's application for leave to attend our meetings and report our proceedings for his newsp:pec. For many years past the printing for the 'or poration has been die by an officer annually elected at a stated salary. Such is still the prac tice. This contract is not te .o the lowest bid der, as is the case with some others. No report. er ever has been admitted to report the pr.ceed ings of the Council. The present tity Printers do not repdrt our proceedings, and have never applied for permission to du so. Had they ap. plied,'their application would h.ave been reject.ed as Dr. Gibbes's was, for reasons which will hereafter be given. The proceedings of the Council are kept by the' Clerk, and his minutes are reviewed and corrected (if necessary) after each meeting of Council; after which they are hinded to the City Printers for publiestion, and are usually published on the morning next after adjournment of the Council. For some years past the nnntal salary of the City Printers has been one hundred and fifty dollars. The sum is well known to be an innd equate compensation fur thu amount of printing required to be done; still, the office is sought for.and is desirable, because- of the advantage :h the City Printer' enjoys in publishing the eedings of the Council in advance ofother papers. .Thus, this advantage constitutes . portai,'if not the most importaut, part.of - nnsideratiyn,given for the public frinting . ar'. been enj9y-ed by all prevyiu prnter;; S.stownp'uttThdint: i bbes himnself. Under these circumstances 'on thesw terms Messrs.

When Dr. Gibbes applied for per mission to report the - proceedings of the City Couneil, we uniainimously decided that we could not grant his request. without grossly violating our obligation to the City Printers; and it is manife.t that had we done so, those gentlemen would no long.-r have been bound by the ir obli gation to us. Dr. Gibbes himself would never have willingly consented to yield this privilege, whilst he was the P:inter for the town. We thought and so determined that if it was proper that reporters for newspapers should be admitted to our meetings, such admission should be post. poned, at least, until our present contract with Messrs. Britton & Giles should have expired, and a printer shoutd have been elected with a fair and proper understa'nding of his rights anid privileges, sand of the consider~ation he. was to re eive for the labor he would be required to per fom. We believed thiat justice and honesty demanded this much of us, and were surprised that Dr. Gibbes should have expected or requir ed us to do otherwise. We are willing to abide' the judgment of our fel;ow ettizens as to the rectitudeso! our motives and the propriety ofI our course. - It is proper to say that there were other con sidertions which influenced us im refusing Dr. Gibbes's applictiotn. Unalike larger cities, we have no separate police court or police depart mett. At our meetings we discuss freely all mat ters concerning the police of the city; ;.s well measures for preventing as for detecting violations of our laws. Itis manifest, if all ourt deliberations on these subjects were reported and published, detection would, int most ceases, be imossible. and in imany cenes greatinjnstice mghtt and would be donec to innuocent but sus pe~ted p~erson~s. If. we aire forced, under the coercion of the Ilaw, or through the powerful in dluence of the press (which has been bronght to bear upon us as we believe from a misatpprehen sioni of the faicts of the ease) to yield tne privi lege of conducting our police investigations in private-we cati no longer guarantee the efficiency of thait departm nt of our city government. Heretofore, the question as to the pu blicity of the meetings of the City Council, has never been coisidered, because (except whe~n thte Counicil hss sat as a court for the trial of offenders against City Ordinanoces) the public have, not regarded it as at mll important for the preserva totn of their liberties, that. they should attend our ineetines; and for the very sufficient reason that by the~6th section of the charter of the city no ordinance, by.'aw, rule or regulation which may be psased 'by the Council enno be operative unil it is "~ duly 'promulgnted "This prov~ision our citizents seem .heretoforei to hauve regarded as a sufficient check upon sany unuwarrasnted as. aimpt ion of power on the paurt of the Coeuncil. What influenee the presence of one (ir more re porters coiuld have uaponi the leg..Jautive acts of tte Council except to gtive them publicity, we are nit a loss lto conIceIVe; antd as aill such nects must be parblished to give them validity, we enmn not concieve how the pnblie can he injured, or th-nuse of liberty suffer by the exeln-ion of reprers. Besides, as we tare required by law to publish 11ll ordinineces, laws unad regultions affectig the public, ntad as we arc respo.nsible for oneh -puhliheaiti, it seems to us butt right otd proper thait we should. hatve the conatrol of the same. Various matters relating to the pollet., to the solvency of sureties aun oficini and other bonds, it sees to us both unnecessary1 aid iamproper to publish in the newspapers of the city. No cood cnn be effected by such pub-. linutins, and 'much harm way be done. We! have thus presentted as bri..fy as possible the reasons which indfuenceed us in the reftn-al to ah. 1 low Dr. Gibbmes tat report our proceedinigs fotri hais news~tpaer. hf 'we have erred in our eotalu' skin, and have de.nied to Dr. Gibbes anty right to which he is legially or moralIly entitled, we are willing to abide biy the decision of the legal tri bunals of thec coiuntry, and by the calm and de liberate verdict of our -fellow citizens of Colum.-1 la. nfe corresponndence .whileh subsequently took plaee between"Dr. Gibbes and the Mayor, and of their personal interviews,,as well pe of the formal ejection of Dr. G. from the Council Chamber, arid his subsequent course toeards the Council, the public are already fully inform. ed. Had Dr. Gibbes, :after the refusal by the Council to admit him as I reporter, and without having any correspondence or interview with the Mayor, presented himself at our meeting and re fused to.aoswer whether- he intended to report our proceedings or no, we would have consider ed him as setting our authority at defiance, and as intending a contempt and indignity upon o.tr. body, and might well have felt and expresadd in dignation. But after his correspondence and in terviews with the Mayor and also with another member of our body, -we. fully acquitted him of any such motives or feeliiand ceoid not, and did not, expect that he intended, that his formal ejection should give rise to any personal ill feel ig or that it should be made the foundation for a charge of outrage and oppression, or of any ctioln for .damages, or a criminal prosecution. 2ir the contrary, we thought and still believe that Dr. Gibbes in good faith intended, by sub vecting himself to this"roceeding, (under the tdvice of his lawyer) to make a proper case for esting the legal question which had been made between himself and the Council, and that he fully believed he could go through with his part )f the prescribed ceremonv, more philosophically han upon trial he found himself able to do. We are willing to attribute much of his subse luent conduct to 1tie very natural irritation *vhilh he must have felt from the unusual (and is we thought unnecessary) oeremonrto which te .ubjected himself. We hauvsulways been nd still are' desirous of having the legal ques ions involved fairly- tested,.and had hoped that his might be done without excitement or per tonal ill will. We are glad to perceive that Dr. 3ibbes is now willing to occupy this position owards us. Much vituperation and personal buse have been directed against us by several ,f the newspapers of this State and elsewhere, nfluenced, we sincerely hope and believe, by a nisapprehension of the facts of the case ; and anch of this has been copied into Dr. Gibbes'% ewspaper.: Frtm himself and from such Edi ;ors as have commented haishly on our proceed aigs, common ju lice demands the publication of .tis, our plain, and, we hope, unbiased statement f the facts of the case. To you fellow citizens, ;o whom we hold ourselves responsible for the proper exrrcistuf the powers which you have mnttsted to us, we tmake this statement of our motives and our conduct, fully assured, that al though some of you may differ with us as to the egal questions. involved, not one of you will be. ieve, after a cslm and unprejudiced review of ur course,-that we have been ifluenved by any ther motives than a wish to .do justice,. and a' sincere desire to discharge air dufy.
