[by an old bachelor.] About twenty years ago, (I was not then | so bal l as I am now,) I was spending the Midsummer with my old friend and school fellow, Tom Merton. Tom had married ear ly in life, and had a daughter, Mary Rose, who to her “ father’s wit and mother’s beau- t ty,” added her uncle Absalom’s good humor, i nnd her aunt Deborah’s notability. In her, you had the realization of all that the poets [ have suug about fairy forms, dulcet voices, and witching eyes. She was just such a be- iug as you may imagine to yourself iu the he roine .of somo beautiful romance—Narcissa, in Roderic Random, for instance—or Sophia, in Tern Jones—or Fanny, in Joseph An- draws—not the modern, lackadaisical dam sels of Colburn and Bentley. If she had met the eye of Mark Anthony, Cleopatra might have exerted her blandishments in vain : if Paris had but seen Mary Rose Merton, Troy might have been standing this day. Such was the presiding divinity of the house where 1 was visiting. My heart was susceptible, and I fell in love. No man, I thought, had ever loved as I did—a common fancy among lo vers ; arid the intensity of my affection I be lieved would not fail to secure a return.— j One cannot explain the secret, but those who have felt the influence, will know how to pudge of my feelings. I was as completely lover head and ears as mortal could be : I [loved with that entire devotion that makes fil ial piety and brotherly affection sneak to a corner of man’s heart and leave it to the un. disputed sovereignty of feminine beauty.

An Italian Cemetery.—“ An old man opened the iron door, and wc entered a clean, spacious, and well paved area, with long rows of iron rings on the heavy slabs of the pavement. Without asking a question, the old man walked across to the farther comer, where stood a moveable lever, and fastening the chain into the fixture, raised the massive stone cover of a pit.

Milledgeville, Nov. 13, 1833. A meeting of persons friendly to State Rigats having been called, by notice in the gazettes of this place, a numerous assembly convened this evening at 7 o’clock, in the Representative Chamber, in the State House.. On motion of Mr. Gordon of- Putnam, the honorable Christopher B. Strong was called to the Chair. The Chairman having taken the Chair, on motion of Mr. Hillhouse, Mr. S>yre was appointed Secretary ; and on mo tion o'Gen. Beall, Mr. Longstreet was ap pointed assistant Secretary. The Chairman stated the object of the , . , - . . meeting: whereupon on motion of the Hon. theur complete execution A. S. Clayton, Resolved, That - a Committee of thirteen be appointed by the Chairman to prepare resolutions expressing the sentiments of the State Rights Party in this State, and report to this meeting during its sitting. The following gentlemen were appointed* the committee: ' Hon. A. S. Clayton, Hon. William H. Crawford, Dr. Wm. C. Daniell, Col. Jones, Mr. Habersham, Mr. Hillhouse, Col. Rock well, Mr. Chappell, Mr. Young, Gen, Beall, Col. Newton, General Warren, and Hon. Charles Dougherty. The Committee retired,and having returned, reported through .their Chairman the follow ing preamble and Resolutions: The relations between the Federal and State Governments have assumed a peculiar and intense interest by reason of * the events which terminated the deliberations of the last Congress. The long and angry contests which agitated the whole South, and had produced just complaints against the General Government, were brought to a close with its session ; but they were succeeded and doubt less for the special purpose of subserving at some future period, the very principles they were compelled to abandon ; by the enact ment of a law equally objectionable and cer tainly more dangerous to the liberties of the people than their former oppressions ; and which, if permitted to endure, will ulti mately perpetuate the usurpations which it was professed to be renounced. It is not difficult to perceive that allusion is here made to the Proclamation of the President of the U. States, ar.d the Force Bill which was its legitimate consequence. The first document instantly revived the doctrines of the Feder- to my ear.

The object of the present meeting is, first to constitute and form one. of those associations- for the lurpose of counteracting tho designs of the Federal, party, lately reorganized in this State, who under false colors ore inculca ting the doctrines of John Adams in ’98, and those of Daniel Webster at the present time; and secondly, for the further object of enfor* cing a systematic opposition to the Procla mation and Force Bill. These last measures have aimed a deadly blow at State .Rights, and seem now to requiro the united and con. ccntrated energies of the friends and advo cates of thosa rights to be directed to this point of attack, deemed so iuiportant by our enemies to be carried, and in which, if suc cess should crown their exertions, all that is dear and valuable to freedon, will be wres- ted from the States. . , - That it may be distinctly understood what are the principles of this Association, it will be necessary to shew what are the doctrines of the Proclamation, and these are inserted in language which admits of no dispute. - 1st.
