. The woild was dotarmined to make him plea sed, and he was feaolute fo’hrtn. Tho lion«e •ins taken, furniture, lulde-lincn, the clegnn tea of h lady’* comforts, nil, were-procured, - rind nil m «ho exSel taste that might best euit both parties. Business was no longer niton- • tied to, for Delarour Vvas nt each and every bo or of the day prosecuting his love-suit, and the lady wns, at all times, his attentive listen er. The marriage deeds and the settlement -were nest talked about, for marriages, such ns those, generally end as they begin, in a very business-like manner, liut now, on the ox- pumtTe of l/lSii'sohite property, on ilm expla nation of the contingent pWnertx of Mr, Do- lncour, ho was found, by the father, *»•' .-right if he by the lady I—he was found deficient, 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 ned. But vain the designs of man I On that very day hfl heard that site hod acquired a largo fortune, by the death of a distant rela 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 cious havo sairi(und the best of us are not free from malice) thul what his own folly and emo- tinta might have failed to ciTcct, his dissipation —ms recklessness—shall it bo said—the pro fligacy of a wounded mind—more easily con trived. Disease had noth laid hold upon him. His friends came round him, all attentions wore paid him, and lie received a note from the last lady of his choice; sho had heard of his illness, she would receive him again.— Delacour could just afford a smile, and with hands chilled in the coldness of coming dis. veiling the^handg. Her motherdrow near and stooped to lciss her. Enough ; what would you more ! That cry might have told tho rest. political. The last Chronicle, is filled with tho nulli ficatinn nccount of tho meetings nt Atlmtis and Lexington. The writer sings lo Paeans to his favorite cause. Ho declares that the contest is pertation, this aggrandizement, perhaps, tho solution, he tore tho paper and scattered it n ? w hegun and enn be terminated only bv around. — \**ta»*» ****** ■ *1 ■Si 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- olb w *ssiant, rushing forward, lie clasped her iii.Imb ’cj*. l( was not a shuck, or o groan, but eo.r , thing worn terrible than either, that lmra It m her bpSy the living wound of nn- t* !n,h r n"^ W '.tft 1* be « , «Hedupon h r mall Hiedeperatton^ony,repentance, 8 i'l»»aio. pmh presumptuous lips, 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, nnd, to the same eyes, the same as ever. Is woman’s pride so delicate, or is it so uncon querable that it muy feign all this! Yea—sad necessity, that the laat humility of disappoin ted affections can only stoop thus low. At many public places, scenes of fashion able resort, or haunts of fashionable invalids, she was afterwards met. The baronet was in constant attendance, the parents hinted their hopes. She had never, willingly, given sorrow to any one; she consented to accept him, received meekly bib attentions, smiled at the delighted congratulations of her friend*, and seemed appy. The sober twilight of morning just shadowed the apartment where she lay; it wa* her own accustomed attitude; her arm gently supporting her head, the Iona hair hanging luxuriously on tho bosom and The Washington Globe, received yesterday, contains a comparative statement, front the Treasury Department, shewing the amount and rates of duties, according to the existing rates, and as modified by the net of July 14, 1832, calculated upon tho importations of the year ending 30ih September, 1830; from which we gather the following results. Duties on the importations of 1830 amounting to 058,130,675, ac cording to existing rates, $21,714,770 Duties on the same amount of im ports, according to the act of 1832, 13,903.557 Amount of reduction by the new Tariff, Add to this amount the reductions effected by thu act of 1830, es timated by Gen, linyne, at 7,746,219 4,665,750 The whole nmouht of reduction since tho act ofl828, will ho 12,411,969 This document is to be depended on, us giv ing a correct amount of tho operations of tho new Tariff, *3 it 'will furnish ilata for tho col lector of tho customs, in calculating the duly on every item imported.

There nppenrs to havo been a large collection,and in imitation of their Caro lina prototypes, Ealing formed no inconsider able part m the proceedings of the day.—Sa vannah Georgian. had net been received from head quarters, for a gener al and indiscriminate proscription, before the ‘‘affair at Lexigton” had been put into auccessful operation.— 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 deliberated upon. Let us not utterly reject Nullificj”™* 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 „ true situation before no—with our eyes open uwii to existing evils is to the prescribed mode of obviat, them—act, aa becomes freemen, as lovers of n„; 1 liberty and equal rights.

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?

Wayne nnd Forsyth exclude! from its deliberations. —SO©— The Cholera.—On the 31st July, there were inik City of New York, 181 cases and 48 deaths; on lie 1st August, 98 cases and 41 deaths; on tho 2d, 81 tv scs and 34 deaths; on tho 3d, 90 cases and 84 death Total number of cases sinco its commencement, 40S7; deaths, 1CC2.

Our turn may toon come-kl us be prepared for it. spirit ofthe Constitution, wo cannot seo how same gen tlemen who seem, disposed to go into Nullification, can get ever the following clause of the Constitution of the United States i “The Congress, whenever two-third* of both hou ses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this constitution, or, on the application ofthe legis latures of two-thirda of the several states, shall cell a ration for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes aa part of this constitution when ratified by the legislatures nf three-fourth* of the several states, or hy conventions in thiee-iburths thereof) as the one or other mode of ratifi cation may be proposed by the Congress ” They may probably ray that this would be a useless and unnecessary eobrve—but suppose it should prove ICP Agreeably to the last resolution of the media; af the 1st inst. at this place, tho foIlowinS urnllco^ have been appointed “n committee of correspondence, to confer with our fellow citizens of other States, on ill matters connected with our common interests,” viz- John McPherson Berrien, Augustin S.
