Nurtured and brought upas we have been, in the . admonition ot the Republican State Rights doctrine —-in a contest in which their preservation is sought on ti e one hand by the lovers ot Constitutional Lib erty, and threatened on the other by the renewed as saults of re-animated Federalism, it may be easily . conjectured on which side we are to be found. We ; aspire to belong to the Republican Stale Rights Party, I prirfessing such principles as sustained the Fathers of | that faiili in '93 and ’99—as bore that party in Geor-’ j gia triumphant, through the political conflicts of’2s j and 2G. and to which it has not proved recreant in | ’32 and’33 We claim to be disciples of the School i of Jctrersou, as taught in the Kentucky and Virginia llcsnlutions. But professions of republicanism have i become mere cant, when every party lays claims to ’ ihat title, from (he Union Democratic liepublican par- I (y ol Georgia, up to the great National Republican j party ot the Union, and back to the remnant of the | party which rejoiced in the subsequent election o* a I Sedition law Judge, as the triumph ot the Democratic j Republican party of New England! Equally vague is I • the pretence to belong to the State Rights Parly, since j many of those who profess to be Stale Rights adher-1 j cuts, deny tothe Statesali other rights, but those of I j remonstrance and subniimiou. Still more uncertain ! j >» the profession of belonging to the Ji ti’ersonian I School, since many' who pretend la tie followers of, j that Patriot, publish to the world, the preposterous,! | the humiliating notion, that the labours of his whole life were intended to prove that the. States Lavi- only (he i iglit ot pe.tdioiiiug for a redress of gi ievaiices--of ri moustratiiig against unconstitutional Federal Legis lation, and finally ’•when all other remedies fail” of protesting !! ! To prove that our profes sions are not of this character, let the cokininsof the Herald ne our witness. The ears ot the people have of late been drummed almost to deafness with the continued and popular cry of Union! Union ! ! Union!!! \Ve too profess, not emptily, to love and venerate the L'nior , and to boas highly sensible of its incalculable value and im portance, as those who are most loudiand boistersous in their clamours.

Our conversation related chiefly to the scene ry around us; and we had pleasantly journeyed together for txvo or three miles, when we ar rived at a little sequestered burying ground by the way side, near which there was neither ' church nor dwelling. Its low wall was thinly covered with turf, and we sat down upon it to ■ rest. My companion became silent and mel i ancholy, and his eyes wandered anxiously I among f be graves. i “ Here,” said he, “ sleep some of my father’s children, who died iu infancy.” He picked up a small stone from the ground, and throwing it genl ly about ten yaid J , ‘‘ That,” addt d he, “is the very spot. Thank God! no grave stone has been raised during tny absence! It is a token I shall find my parents living— and,” continued he, wsfb a sigh, “may I also find their love ! It is bard, sir, when the heart of a parent is turned against his own child ” He dropped his head upon his breast fora few moments, and was silent; and, hastily rais ing Ins forefinger to his eyes, seemed to dash j axvay a solitary tear Then, turning to me, he continued, “You tt.iy think, sir, this is weak ness in a soldier, but human hearts beat be neath a red coat. My father, whose name a Campbell, and who was brought from Argyle shire while young, is a wealthy farmer iu tins neighborhood. Twelve years ago, 1 loved a being, gentle as U>e light of a summer moon. We were < hildren together—and sho grew in beauty on my s-iglit, as the star of evening steals into glory through die twilight-. But she wns poor and portionless, the daughter ol i a mean sheplx rd. Our attachment oife ded my father; he commanded me to leave her for ever; I eould not, and he turned tne from his house; I wandered, t knexv not, and I cared not whither. But I will not detain you with my history. In tny utmost need I met a ser i grant of the forty second, who was then upon I die recruiting service, and tn a few weeks I joined (he regiment of proud hearts. I was at Brussels when the Invitation to the wolf and i the raven rang at midnight through the streets. ’ It was the herald ofa day of glory and of death. ! There were three Highland regiments of us { three joined in one—joined in rivalry, ini love, ami in purpose; and, thank Fate ! I was present when till then the invincible legions of 1 emrassed Gauls rushed, with their war horses! neighing destruction, upon a kneeling phalanx , ot Scottish hearts, shielded only by the plaid , ami the bare bayonet from the unsheathed sa-1 bres of the united glory of Franco, as they | poured (he torrents of death on the waving i plumes of our devoted band, to extirpate our | mime from the annals of Scottish heroism. . Then, then, in the hour of peril and of death, the genius ol co titiy burst forth through the darkness of despair, like the first flash ot the young sun upon the earth when God said “ let there be light!”—as the Scots Greys flying to| our aid raised the electric shout, “Scotland' , (brevet!—“ Scotland forever!” returned our tar i taned clansmen; “Scotland forever!” reverbe rated as from the hearts we had left behind us; and “Scotland forever!” re-echoed ‘ Vi< lory !’ It was a moment of inspiration and triumph. Forward dashed our Highland heroes, fearless j as their fathers, resistless as our mountain ca j tatacfs ! The proud steed and its mailed rt- J(h r quailed at the shout. Horne and its world ( of unutterable joys—yes, home and the fair - bosom tiiat would weh ome t’s hero —glory ; ! Hid the, spirit of our fathers —all rushed upon , , our imacmaimu at tite sound. It was a mo i ment of poetry, of pa’rio i>m, ami of inspira tion al the s .tmd. He iveu-’” ad led lie, start ing to Ins feet, and gra-pmg his slid!, as lite j enthusiasm < fthe past gushed back upon his I soul, “to have joined m that shout was to have | lived an derm y tn the vibration of a pendti- ■ ’ him!” ! In a few momcntfi the animated soul that gave (-loqnet.ee to his tongue drexv itself back mto the cl.umbers of humanity, and resinning 1 Ins seat upon the wall, continued; “i left my regiinci.i widi t' e prospe<!t ol promo ton, and have since served tn (he West Indies; but I iiave heard i, ehing of :ny fattier —nothing ol my inotlu r—nothing of her 1 love !’’ While i.e was yet spe.iking, the grave dtg ge r , with i pickaxe and spade <>ver his sboiil i dur, enti-rcJ* the gr<»nid. H<- appro tei.cd .vr.hm a few vard> oi where we sat.

I will rmt dxv ell upon the painful scene. Du ring ms abs nee, adversity had given the for tunes of the father tothe wind; and he had d.ed m an nimble collage,• unlamented and ua noit’ ed by the friends of his prosperity. At the request of tny fellow traveller I ac companied. him to the house of mourning. Two or three poor cottagers sat around the fire. The coffin, with the lid open, lay across a take, near the window, A few white hairs fell over the whiter face of the deceased, which seemed to indicate that he died from sorrow ra ther than from age. The son pressed his lios to his fattier’s cheek. He groaned in spirit and was troubled. He raised his head in agony, and witn a voice almost inucticulate with grief, exclaimed inquiringly, “My mother?” The vvonduring peasants started to their feet and in silence pointed to a lowly bed. He has tened forward—he fell upon ins knees by the bedside. “My mother!” 0, my mother he exclaimed, “ do mu you, too, leave me ! look at me—speak to me! 1 am your own sou—your own Willie; h ive you too forgot me, mother ?” She, too, lay upon her death-bed', and the tide ot hie was fast ebbing; but the remember ed voice O' her beloved son drove it back fora moment. She opened her eyes—she attempt ed to raise her feeble band, and it fell upon his head. She spoke, but he alone knew the words that she uttored; they seemed accents of mingled anguish, of joy, and of blessing. For .-everal minutes, lie bent over the bed and wej t bitterly. He held her withered hand in his; he started;, und as we apprviK h< d him, the hand that he held’was lifeless! Hu wept no longer; he gazed irom the dead body of his fa ttier to that of Ans mother—his eyes wandered xvddly from one to the other—ho smote hts hand upon his brow, and threw himself on a chair, while misery tran-iixed him, as if a thun derbolt had entered his soul. 1 will not give a description of the melan choly fum-rals and solitary mourner. The fa thers obsequies were delayed, and the son laid both his parents tn the same grave. Several motitli.-s passed uw ay before I gained infoitnaiton respecting the sequel of my littlo story. After ins parents were laid in the dust, William Campbell, 'vnh a sad and anxious heait rnude inquiries afier Jeanie Leslie, the object of his earliest uHections, to whom we have already alluded. For several weeks his search was fruitless; but at length he learned that considerable property h .d been left to her father by a Jistant relative, and that ho now re ; sided some where in I hitnfrteshire. In the f.ume garb which I have altendy senbed, the soldier set out upon his journ y. With litile dillb ulty he discovered the house. It resembled s ch as are occupied, by tho higher class of farmers.
