that is, not quite tho exact bargain that tvus
expected. They tell me that tho lady, hearing
he had boasted of her prrfcrenco, fearing too
easy a conquest, adopted this* prrlly picco of
coquetry, in hopes of being over-persuaded.
Be this as it may ; at the moment of doubt
and denial, nl the moment when tho lady hin
ted that her decision had been entirely in obe
dience to hpr parents, not that she bud in the
least changed, then it wns that Delacour per
ceived he had been a dupe—cheated) and be
trayed, and made tlm very ridicule of fortune.
He rushed from the house wuern he had pass
ed two years in the pursuit of n shadow, ns
worthless as it was frail, and hastened home
ward.
He had pride, he tvns not quite without tec-
ling, nt least for himself: but when ho recol
lected the heaven ho had cast away, how he
had smote upon the heart that loved him, lo
be smitten in return, conscience wns his accu
ser. The afluir of Miss Sidney wns known
to his acquaintances ; ho himself had given
publicity to this; here wns the deceiver himself
deceived, the bilrnyrr himself betrayed—and
he heard the laugh of derision go round about
him.
It is hard for the brave and the good to pnrt
with tho lasting hnpo—the living impression—
the unlading aspirations of their every duy
existence; hut how much more difficult for
tho calculating—the base, to separnto, upon
even terms, with their desires. This one ex-
ho dared the purer touch of hers; she lay in
sensible, or only recovered to give back a
blind look of horror, as he -embraced her.—
Hero then was the copsutnmatioh of his vil
lainy—the height of all Ida despair. At this
moment he heurd a footstep. Scorn, contu
mely, and insult, were all ho could expect;
he felt himself a wretch who merited no more;
and, with one last embrace—one last respect
ful pressure—he fled he scarcely knew where,
and the morning had risen before he found
himself at home.
And now he would writo to her, reveal all
bin heart and roly upon her generosity, and in
the energy of despernlion tho epistle wns pen

very day hfl heard that site hod acquired a

tion. Thus then tho barrier was placed fur
ever between them. To return was now de
nied him. Fortune had been tho aim of his
life, and it now stood, fur ever, botween him
and nil ho valued from this to tho grave.
How, without the imputation of the meanest
of motives, how dare he now return ? What
had once boon generous, would now bo baso.
No—no—the spring of life wos over, tho wil
derness of the world gone through, and death
lay alone open lo him.
Tho tide of feelings will havo way, but with
Delacour it now boru upon its passage the
freshness and the vigour of life. It might be
truly said of him, that, from this time, he was
a broken-spirited man,—one not to bo recon
ciled to himself—one tvho condemned him-
self beyond ought or all in the world beside.
His happiness he had cast away, his wealth
he rendered worthless to him, arid the mali

His friends came round him, all attentions

Indy herself, hod been t’.:e stiimiim of Dela-
'• eour’s late action and life. To havo been
\ climbing with struggles mid anguish, the steep
.of fortune—bewildered among the brushwood
—tom und defaced nmid the brambles,—to
find odp’s foot upon the last elovation our wan
dering garje might discover, and no sooner to
find ourself there than the foundation gives
way, tbo basement is srnttered,and wo and oil
pur tiny hopes hurled headlong into the abyss,
or : ntn the humble vale (torn which we first
np-sprung.—this may well demand patience ;
but when inflicted on the strong, when suffered
by the proud, then comes the sting ot mad-
nets—tho writhing of passion—the gnawing
of the heart—and all that despair may suffer
under, and philosophy deride.
While torn by conflicting emotions, there
seemed no resting-place whereon the tho ghts
or Delacour might repose. He had held him
self above the world, us one whom no storm
tnu-ht roach, no breath might touch ; be had
wiilUed in pride,.lie was therefore more open
to M-orn. He looked around him, and one
fair, form, mid one alone, wns seen in the for
expanse,.and to brr he turned. To this being
he vowed to resign nil fnlse ambitions, all tho
ones of splf.emolumeiil, nil speculations of
sell interest. Ho hnd grown in riches within
the lust two years: she e ight still love him—
he hud lost honor in losing her—wejl, he must
rrpn.r tho loss—but then her reproaches and
srorti.s-hn deserved them, and humbly and
faithfully lie could avow it. He thought of
her angel ways—her maiden kindness ; he
ihuuglit, und wondered at the monster he hud
been. But the mind forms schemes, aftur thu
body is tired of action, incapublo of impulse.
. A fatal malady, the effect of his disturbed spir
its. now made its appearance. Day after day
passed in ineffectual attempts to obtain an in
terview with the being he had injured. Thu
wretched young lady, on whom tltuir last mee
ting hod made n lasting impression, suspici -us
of his ndvnwes, fearing lo avow her real sail
timents; her delicacy rffetided and pride
wounded, fled his sorrel approaches, or with
cold insensibility met his moro open atten
tions. It was enough for her to know that
bn was on the point of marringe with another,
and thopgh he was evidently nu object of hor
ror, yet, mote eager than ever for soma expla
nation, something to subdue or exeite the nn.
guish within him, ho continued hie vain pur
suit. Baffled at all paints, and sick in body
nnd mind, he yielded to his depression, undo,
ter mined in what way to act that might yet
amend the pa»f. A fortnight was over, and he
was the shadow of Ilia former self, the wreck of
his own weakness and folly. He now deter
mined, roat what it would, to see her and to
apeak to her. Wns it reason or was it mad
ness that led him to.net thus ?
It wos a fine and sunny afternoon, when he
quitted his sick chamber, in tlm wild and neg
lected attire of one who had, indeed, forgot
ten himself: and jumping on the lop of a pas
sing stage, he quickly found himself in the
neighborhood of the cottage where they now
dwelt. ’This was his last attempt, nnd ire was
resolved it should not be unsnccossful. Some
time he lingered, till, growing impatient, he
sprung overs small fence at tint bottom of the
garden, and made his way, stealthily, to an
■rbor that was nenr. .His hand touched the
folisge rnunil tho entrance era he pnreoived,
reclining on a seat, the figure of Emily her-
self. An involuntary sigh escaped him, but
her thoughts were elsnwl.ef**. nnd. it was un-
lc nrd. He gave ono falnl glance^ond in an-

At length the hour and the moment drow
nigh that was to give him freedom; his
thoughts had truly become a burden to him,
and ho was happy to resign them. He had
made peace with earth, and pleaded for peace
with heaven ; and now ho could willingly go
his way- “ This is the last bitter pang, my
dear girl,” said he, ns his favorite sister drew
near, “but it is the last, and let us pnss
througlHt bravely.” .It was after he had bles
sed Iter, and kissed her, and hadu her adieu,
that ho called her back again. His noble fuen
was chnngud to tho marble of tbo grave, and
those eyes shone with the last burning flame
of nnturo and of life. He dashed nivoy the
tears that gathered till they flowed, and dash
ed thorn away again. Tho impressiveness of
Heath was on his tongue. “ If ever you gee
her," he sighed ; “ if ever you meet, tell her
— but no—I can say nothing. Ifshoknew all
she would know too much—my silence is
enough.” With this bn sank.backward, ond
lay calmly : a long drawn sigh wns henrd—
nml Delacour wns dead. But tho sorrow he
Imd caused neither was ended or died with
him. His faults hnd been without oxter.;::
lion, his errors without excuse, ond the world
bad not been backward to' censure him; yet
one heart wns found thnt could pardon, onu
soft enough lo pity his frailties. All the mer
cy lie rn»!d liopo was thcro, nnd londerness
that surpassed all he might imagine. The
shriek Hint burst from Emily Sidnuy whiln
reading tho news of his deconse, wns tho kneli
of another untimely end. The wo of years
wos ended, tho link of past emotions broken.
He was then gone—for over nnd irrevocably
gone. The pride of her thoughts—the friend
ofher heart—tho lover of her youth. No
scorn or maidenly reserve could now uphold
Itor. Modesty might fear to reveal the Inst
fond (ruth, hut death wipes away all blushes.
If sighs might speak of grief, nr tears, or in
ward sorrowing, a broken sleop, n restless snd
unenjoyed existence,—if nil tlieso were the
emblem of wo, all this Imd past, though in the
last few years, iiud it was over. ”,Mourn not,
my child.” urged tho mother, “ ho is happy,
nnd has long been u stranger to us.” “ I am
sensible of no griof,” wns Ihn'nns'ver; “ yes, he
has long been a stranger, at least to me,—yes,
yes,—to tno he has been a stranger.” This
was the last time sho over spoko of him ; but
the thoughts will utter wlint tho tongun never
lolls. Sho droamod upon tbo econo in. tbo
garden, thnt faint and indistinct recollection
of something most blissful and most wretched.
Ho lied thought of her, had returned to her,
it was enough, tie wns forgiven ; yet why hdd
she not spoken to him ond soothod him, nnd
parted in friendship if not in love 1 The idea
was fraught will) madness,and here the fatality
of *11.her misery was seen. In tho meantime
she evinced no more than common grief.i—
The dnv of his funeral sho took her usual
wulk; she saw the sad procession pass,
Speechless, tearless, and without n murmur.
And ye I afier tliia sho was seen in company,

At many public places, scenes of fashion

she was afterwards met. The baronet was
in constant attendance, the parents hinted
their hopes. She had never, willingly, given

Another, after having requested the discontinuance of
his paper remarks:
Forsyth, August 7th, 1833.—“ I regret to see the re
marks under the editorial bead of your paper, dealing
out ia no measured terms, a consuro upon the conduct
of tho Lexington meeting, as regards the disapproval
of the late vote of Forsyth and Wayne, in declaring I he
condo 1 :! of that meeting an outrage upon the feelings
of those gentlemen. Whenever the settled policy and
interest of the state and country ia entrusted into the
hands of the representatives of the people, the repre
sentative should maintain the policy and interest of the
state inviolably, and rever shamefully compromise it
awav for nought, for worse than nought, for by doing
which, the principle and policy of the slate is commit
ted and departed from ; auchie the fact-in the pnaauge
of the late Tariff of Congress—the Southern Slates
have gained nothing; and by Southern members vo
ting for the bill, they have lent their aid in fixing down
upon the country the settled policy of the protective
system. But enough of this, for I sicken under :he
idea nf the South not having virtue, patriotism, and
public spirit sufficient to redress tho wrongs and slave
ry, which is irrevocably fixed upon the people of the
South, placing them in perpetual bondage at the will
of task-masters nf the manufacturing interest of the
East; and if vnu suppose for a moment that tlic groat
body of the republicans through this section of the
Slate, approve of the vole of Forsyth and Wayne, the
first Monday in October will undeceive you, and you
will find that the opinions of the Lexington meeting
will be fully sustained.”
However we may regret the loss of respeclablo
names from our subscription list, yet this gentleman
must have greatly mistaken the materials of which we
arc made, to have thought for a moment that wo could
be driven from a course of rectitude and honor, by the
withdrawal of his patronage, or the patronage of those
who may bo induced to follow hta example; and we
are further perfectly wilting to abide by tho decision of
the arbiter of hischoice,for the scttlementofour differen
ces, viz : the ballot box on the first Monday in Oct: next,
•fudge Wayne will then, if wo do not greatly mistake
the signs of the times, prove to the world that a tnan
for tho conscientious discharge of his duty, is not so
easily put down as some factionists would suppose.
We did think that we had heretofore been sufficiently
explicit on the subject of our views with regard to the
Tariff, Nullification, &c.—but inasmuch as the times
may perhaps require tbs:: more distinct avowal, wc
herewith submit them to our readers.
With regard to Nullification: a3 public journalists,
from tho very commencement of our career, we have
openly and avowedly, declared it to be our dctermina-
-v.rjf honorable way tUia unhallowed
doctrino, as taught in the schools of John C. Calboun.
We never did, nor do wc yet believe,.that it is either a
peaceable or constitutional mode of resisting the Tariff
Laws. John C. Calhoun, the father and projector of
this peaceable and constitutional doctrine, we have al
ways looked upon aa a dishonest statesman, and cor
rupt politician; and since his retirement in disgrace
from tho councils and countenance of General Jackson,
wo have viewed bim in the light of a disappointed poli
tician and reckless demagogue! Dofcatcd in his am
bitious views witli regard to tho Presidency, ha retired
I >rn years sinco to tho mountains of Pendleton, to brood
over his fallen hopee and dissipated glories; and there,
like Lucifor, he determined that ho would no longer
an ? Would the state not have performed (eonmt
tional duty, by demanding of Congrea a conventfe,*,
And rs it a sound argument, especially with those «l
advocate a literal construction of the Constitution *
say, that because we have no hope of gaining any q,-'
by pursuing the course boro pointed out, we sh,,^
therefore, not pursue it? Let us leave our enemie
pretext to revile us lor a want of consistency. Let' -
exhaust every constitutional mode of redress, and ih *
if we fail, act upon this great question on the
of expediency-on one aide placo the oppressions of h'
odious system; on tho other, the disadvantages of **
cession—and of these two evils, lot our people in
cool and dispassionate manner, fake their final choice
If we must have one, lot us take the least; and to knot
which is so, let facts be elicited, nnd investigated

in the abstract, without a bearing, but in the first -i,
strip it of its flimsy but dangerous veil-such as
M" " constitutional," remedy, fcc.-and then, ,vith „

and we may woll inquire (without the hope hotter-
of receiving a satisfactory answer to tho query)
this the case ? We profess at tho South to scorn ik!
idea of being, in any way whatever, tributary t 0

though we were actually dependant on them for aw

Tho fate of the Southern Review, lately published a:

Calhounism in Georgia.—The late introduction oftbis
disorganising and factious heresy into this Stale, by a
few restless individuals attached to our own periy, be
gins already to assume in their keeping the character
by which it hoe been distinguished end marked on tho
other side of the Savannah, vi*: * general and indis
criminate denunciation and proscription of those, who
dare stand up like men, and refuia to bow the knee to
the Moloch of their adoration. As a proof of this, we
herewith submit lo the public the following extracts, as
a sample of several favour* of the eame kind that have
been received by ue sine* the lato demonstration of
Nullification in thiseectinn of country:
Lexington, Giorgio, August 131*.—“I cannot giro
my sanction, by lunger patronising your neper, to the
denunciation ofa Mitical doctrine, which haa for some
time past, end is atiR engaging public consideration—in
MdlifictdStn I have the fullest confidence, and I be
lieve that it may no«\, ee on fnrmer occasions, be safe
ly resorted to in effecting deliverance from our moat
unjust end oppressive burdens. For the present, gentle
men, you will pleale discontinue sending me yoor convem
papet.”
Now it is strange, passing alrange; that this gentle
man should at this Itte hour, have concluded to dap
hja extinguisher on our little nub light. He certainly
must have known long aince our aenlimenta on the
subject of Calhounism; but ire presume the mandate
constitutional mode chosen by him for the purpose of
l runeforming the Southern portion of this fair and hap
py land into this pandemoniam of his noble and god-
liko aspirations. We ore now more than ever convin-
eedofthe treasonable views and intentions of this: in r „ Jolv ' 1 ^' ors V t,t ait d Judge Wayne—Wc sn
.. . c .... ln, °™cd they voted will, a pretestando. il lacl imlumivi
man. Heretofore. tl,» il,e m eofh„ « *,,11,fi. u „ on the 21st ultimo. lUhty are for resistaZ
according to their directions,
after Col. Footer had informed them of tho condition
on which Messrs. Forsyth and Wayne voiod for the
late bill in Congress reducing the Tariff:
man. Heretofore,the thcmcofhis songwas “ Nullifi
cation is tho rightful remedy —it is a constitutional and
peaceful mode of redress”—this was the siren song in
tended to lull into security his mfalualed and deluded
followers—but now, having bound them to the car of
his ambition, the strain is changed, and tho wild yelp
tho Tariff, we are for'Mm: if nor, wo are as wc uin.
Now, it is passing strange that those patriotic in
enlightened gentlemen, who would dictate Nullifies!*!
to the citizens of Georgia, should have been so long ig.
norant of facts, which every school boy who res.
ofth. revolutionary blood-hoond is heard to resound j papcr must have know „ , nng before (ha , mrctir , g
over plains mice consecrated by the blood of heroes
and of patriots. Heretofore mutual compromise and
concession were with his followers tho order ofthe day,
but no sooner had the first step bocn taken by Con
gress to bring about this happy result,and a reduction of
taxes to the amount of several millions is efiected, than
we find them turning about with redoubled virulence,
and declaring it <o bo their determination to rend our
glorious Union asunder, thereby most conclusively
proving tn the world their fears, lest the Tariff should
be satisfactorily adjusted, before their unhullorred ob
ject could bo consummated, and the opportunity lost to
them forever, of portioning out to their master, the
Royal prnviace of South Carolina; and Georgia too, if
•ho will bo so blind and infatuated as to yield herself up
to their wishes. Theta are our conscientious views,
with regard to NullifieMion—the object of its leaders,
and its inevitable tendency.
At the same time that we disapprove of their doc
trine, and denounce aa treaeonable, the views nf the
leaden of South Carolina Nullification, we wish it dis
tinctly understood by our friends and patrona, that we
are not disposed to submit lamely to the exercise by
Congress of any right not plainly and conclusively
granted by tho Federal Constitution. The right claim
ed by Congress to impose duties on imports, for the
purpose of protecting manufactures, wc believe to bo a
tiaurpation of power, and not gtanled by that cpmpact.
W—*- W- it.* mm, —• sag, u w, Lave often
•aid before, that Georgia ought not to submit to it, af
ter every peaceful and constitutional measure for re
dress hae been exhausted. But has this beon the case ?
Are we euro but that in a few years, hy diligent and
unceasing efforts at homo and in Congress—by indi
vidual state conventions, or by e convention of tho
whole Southern and Western States, who feel them
selves aggrieved—we say, are we sure but that move-
manta like these would not have the effect to open the
eyes of ourNorthern friends to the real situation of site
country, and to the danger, (end one ofell others they
would, if convinced ofit,deprecato the most) of a sepa
ration of the Union, and compel them, however reluc
tantly, to yield that up to the South through nece si-
ty, which they ant unwilling to grant through their
avarice? ' -
With their profeeeione of reverence for the letter ond
gotten.up, and Messrs. Wayne nnd Forsyth exclude!
from its deliberations.
