» IT”—?"' I PVBLIBHKD BI KEANU CHARLTON. Monday Y^Temng. ffj* We have delayed our paper until , this late hour, for the purpose of present ing to our readers, entire, the distinguish ed Letter of Counsellor Phillips to the King. Had this celebrated Errant appear ed in the great Tourney, at the first sound of the trumpet, he might have broken a lance with some chivalric honor, in favor of the tlttireited damtel. But, strong in mail as he is, sve ore sorry to see, that he did not buckle on hi* artror until the tve.'Oh A *ur we cannot, therefore, re frain from saying to him, SRU prmto u last whs wain ’till all Mamlnd.’ Missouri fyirslion. It is highly probable that this dangerous question will be again pressed on the no tice of Congress, at the ensuing session, in an altered shape. The signs of such an event cannot b« overlooked by the rpost fuperftcisl beholder. The Constitution of Missouri will b* said to contain provi •ions on the subject of slavery repugnant to that of the United States. The North ern presses arc busily and boldly at work is their late favorite vocation, to wit : inflaming and embittering the North against the South. But are we to have the feelings, not te say the pas lions, of that perilous period, renewed Mfllh an aggravated spirit f Arc we to havo our ftclings of pride is Americans •candalised by the mutual revilings and •recriminations of our public oratuis. Will no* Congress close the door of debate, and permit the influence of calmer rea son and more tranquilized passions to heal the soreness and irritation of the past. No victory, in fact, could compen eate, in the end, the victors, for the ef fects of the inextinguishable hatred which such triumph jruuld leave in the bosoma qf the defeated party.—This incontesta bly shows the wisdom of the compromise of the last sessions. If the North bad I nined its point against the South, or the oulh against the North. we should have given up the union of the States in des pair. The prudence, shall we not say the magnanimity, of a few temperate spirits an each aide,saved us from the immediate apprehension of this dreadful catastrophe; - and we do not hesitate to say, that there ii no hope for the integrity of our com- Ijact, but in the exercise, on every simi ar occasion, of the same spirit of conces sion and compromise. But Mr. Wamub appears to be the ene my of compromise. He speaks not of the Union as of a voluntary association es, in dependent States. His argument is suit ed to a consolidated government in which all authority is relinquished by the parties to the compact, and no portion of power whateverreta ned. Misrule that thevill «f the majority of the States should be considered supreme and paramount, is no doubt the essence of popular government. Nut would he push the doctnna so (hr as to mild, that thirteen States, in a confede ration of twenty .four, should disregard the feelings, wishes ind opinions of the •ther eleven ! Mr. Watse says the min ority that should suffer the memory of•- ny disappointment or defeat to nflect its deliberation and votes, on any separate Ideation, deserves the name of factinia. ut is he not expecting too much of hu hnan nature, to look for a total sacrifice of •pinion and right in the minority, when the stronger pxrty, taking advantage of Sts power, chooses to outrage the rights and feelings of the minority, nearly its eqmd in numbers ? In esse of submission, •ruler such circumstances, there would be a relinquishment of the • hject* of die con federation to the mere farm* es the con dilution. The parties to the Federal Compact would never have come into Curb an association, but on the implied assurance and understanding between them, that the feelings, interest, and o puiions of each of the Stites, but espe cially a large minority of them, would be respected by the others; and surely when the right of resistance in a nation to the tyranny of its governors, is no longer a questionable doctrine, the right of with drawing from a voluntary association, by independent States, when they deem the ends es their union frustrated, admits of even less dispute. If Mr: Walsh does wot place the queation on this basis, it is One merely of power—the power which Itntnben give of deciding all questions in the Federal Legislature. The duty of Unqualified submission in the minority of the States, to whatever may be determin ed by the majority, would aeem to follow from this doctrine. Mr Walth insists, that the presump tion ought never to be tolerated that the J tarty in the minority will proceed to ex remities Now we hold the very oppo site doctrine, and say that this presump. t tion should he the basis of our Federal Legislation in every instance in which thi party by the minority is nearly equal in -number and atrength to that which pos •esses tli* preponderance. Our Federal Legislators should always keep steady in view, that «he Stale* were brought to gether by conaiderationa of interest, con venience and security. As these were the original inducements to their associa tion, so they must continue t* be the bonds of their future union. It is on these principles the doctrine of compromise vests. It was in this spirit the Constitu tion was framed and established. It is in this spirit it mutt be preserved. No other is adapted to a confederation of ori ginally independent States. Let the pre •ent Federal Legislature, and those by which they will be sucoeeded, be guided by the large-prospective views of the mew who built up the proud fabric of this Constitution, and we nay look forward With undiminished confidence to the pros perity of the Union.— Southern Patriot. from th* Baltimore Morning Chronicle. GRNKRAL JACKSON. Th* private character of General Jack con has been much abused and misreo- T*vented. It is not from a desire to fol low in the wake of popular and vulgar admiration, sometimes deceptive, some- I times fortuitous, and ofte iin open viola tion of all justice, conferred on an iiuli- , vidual, that we state (he following f* cti ; Wd ermuntanres they are derived 1 1 front a smixtte unquestionably authentic, i Surely it is not to be said, in oar day, i that the man who has so often led the 1 American armies to victory, is to be de- i nied an act of common justice, because i bis brows are covered with laurels. A i personal friend, whose commercial en- 1 gagements rendered his attendance ai Nashville necessary, proceeded on his journey with sentiments decidedly hos tile to the character of General Jackson -It is unnecessary to inquire from what source these impressions were taken.— Such, however, was the fad. On his arrival at Nashville, be was somewhat sur prised to find that the whole family where he resided, including himself, had received an invitation from the General to spend the day at his country residence, about ten miles from Nashville. The General’s carriage was in waiting for tbt reception of the family. On their arrival they were hospitably received by the General, in a house fitted up in a plain Republican style, destitute of all sort of ostentation or parade. The General en tered into conversation on the general to pics of the day with that freedom and urbanity so peculiarly calculated to re move the embarrassments of. a stranger guest: he was perfectly at home on every aubject that was started; and the guest was both astonished and delighted at the freedom and openness of his manners The conversation was at length interrup ted by the arrival of two little boys in the room, who clambered up the gener al’s knee, and threw their arms around his neck—they were dismissed to their in fantile amusements, with a slight paternal reproof, that they must not intrude upon his company. His guest found, on Inquiry, that these boys were two little adopted orphans, whom the General had determined should inherit his property, after his decease, having no children of hi* own. An elderly clergyman arrived shortly afterwards, who received the same hospitable' welcome, aud private worship wsa performed, the General kneeling with th* rest *f his family. His guest found on inquiry, that this reverend' gentleman was principally maintained bj i the General’s bounty, at whose table he was s frequent and always a welcome vis itant.—The General rode with our infor mant over his own grounds, explained to him the nature of his intended improvements, and introduced him to several religiose Ikmißes in Nashville, to whom he distributed religious tracts, be. much to the delight of his guest, who passed a very agreeable week at his residence. What we have thus far intru ded otlraelvCs into the private family of Genera) Jackson (or, is this; he has been regarded only in the light of a success ful warrier, aa one qualified only to grap ple with and to prostrate danger in th* tented Held. Mere wc have been taught to stop our admiration. We presume that these softer shadings amongst the more brilliant traits in the character of a great man, will be acccptible to those who de light to contemplate the moral in the v»- aioua lights in which it maybe presented. His bold and decided tone—his fearless ness in the execution of public service— his stern and unbended determination, promptly and effectually as a public man, to discharge a public duty, has made im pressions unfavorable to hia private char acter, which it is evidently not more than: an act of common justice to remove. The public traits of General Jackson are marked by too decided characteristics to p«ss unnoticed in ■ crowd. Tie Was formed for dignity and high exploit, and he coerces respect even from those who are prone te censure his public measures. If he undertakes the vindication of his cause with a pen, he shows the same promptness and energy that he formerly did with the sword- Strong in the con fidence of his o#n talents, he speaks to command and to be obeyed—He hurries the mind impetuously along by his own impulse, am. the reader participates in his fervor, he scarcely knows how. Sure. ly it forms no uninteresting spectacle to behold the hero of New Orleans, in a new light. He is noW employing his lei sure moments in the cultivation of his farm, to which he pays the same devo ted energy and attention, that he former ly did in repelling the assaults of our en emies. Whatever hi does, h* does tho roughly. LIVERPOOL Oct, 6. Letter of Cntiiteller Phillip* to the King. The following excellent letter to the King from that celebrati d barrister Uharies Phillips Esq we doubt not will be read with peculiar pleasure, as it relates most particularly to the situation of our perse cuted queen. It is unnecessary to remark on the beauties of the composition; the work will shew for itself. “Sire—When I presume to address you on the subject which afflicts and agitates the country, I do so with the most pro found sentiments of respect and loyalty. But I am no flatterer. I wish well to your illustrious house, and therefore I ad dress you in the tone of simple truth— the interests of the king and queen are identified, and her majesty’s advocate must be your’s. The degradation of any branch of your family must, in some de gree, compromise the dignity of all, and be assured there is aa much danger as discredit, in fkmiliarixing the publie eye to such a spectacle. I have no doubt that the present exhibition is not your royal wish; I do not doubt it is the work of wily sycophants and slanderer, who have persuaded you she was false in the base hope that it would turn out to be profitable. With the view, then, of warning you against interested hypocrisy, and of giving to your heart its naturally humane and noble inclination, I invoke your attention to the situation of your persecuted consort! I implore of you tc consider whether it would not be for the safety oft ! e state for the tranquility of the country, for the honor of your house and for the interests alike of royalty and humanity, that an helpless female should be permitted to pass in peace the re maining years which unmerited misery h*s spared to her. U is now. Sire, about five and twenty yean since her Majesty landed on the shores of England—a Princess by birth— a Queen by marriage—the relative of Kings—and the daughter and sister of a hero. She was then young—direct from the indulgence of a paternal court —the blessing other aged parents, of whom slu was the hope and stay—and happiness shone brightly o’er her; her life had been ell sunshine—time for her had trod on flowers; and if the visions which endear and 4ehorate, and hallaw borne, were van t ished 1 forever, still did she resign them \ for the sacred name of wife, the sworn « affection of a royal husband, and the t allegiance of a glorious and gallant j people She was no more to see t her noble father’s hand unhelm the war- < rior’s brow to fondle o’er his child —no i more for her a mother’s tongue delight- i ed as it taught; that ear which never heard a strain—that eye which never o- i pened on a scene but those of caieless, i harmless, cloudless, infancy, was now a- i bout io change its dulcet tones and fairy i visions, for the accent and the country of a stranger. But she had heard the'char acter of Britons —she knew that chivalry and courage co-existed she knew that where the brave man aad the free man dwell, the very name of woman bore a charmed sway; and where the voice of England echoed your Royal pledge “to love and worship and cleave to her alone,” she but looked upou your Sire’s example, and your nation’s annals, and was satis fied.—Pause, and contemplate her envi able station at the hour of these' unhap py nuptials! The created world scarcely exhibited a more interesting spectacle.— There was no earthly bliss of which site was not either in the possession or in the expectancy. Royal alike by birth and bv alliance honored as the choice of England’s heir, -reputed the most accomplished gentleman in Europe —her reputation spotless as the nnfallen B now—her approach heralded by a peo pie’s prayer, and her footsteps obliterated by an obsequious nobility—her youth, like the lovely season which it. typified, one crowded garland of rich and fra rant roses refreshing every eye with present beauty, and filling every heart with promised benefits ? No wonder that she feared no famine in that spring tide of her happiness—no wonder that her speech was rapture, and her step was buoyancy. She was the darling of her parents’ hearts—a kingdom was her dower 1 —her very glance, like the sun of heaven, diffused light and warmth, and luxury a round it—in her public hour, f * nne concentrated all its rays upon hei, and when she shrunk from its too radiant noon it was within the shelter of a husband’s love, which God and nature, and duty and morality, assured her unreluctant faith should be eternal. Sncb was she then, all joy and hope, and generous credufity, the credulity that springsfrom honor and and from innocence And who could blame it? You had a world to ehuse, and she R is your selection—your ages were compatible—you.i births were equal- yon had drawn her from the house where she was honored and happy—you had a prod igal allowance showered on you by the people—you had bowed your annointed head before the altar, and sworn by its majesty to cherish and protect her, and this you did in the presence of a moral nation, from whom you hold the evown, and in the face of that church of which vou are the guardian. The ties which bound you were of no ordinary texture — you stood not in the situation of some secluded profligate, Whose brutal satiety might leave its victim to a death of soli tude, where no eye could see nor echo tell the quiverings of her agony. Your elevation was too luminous and too lofty to be overloked, and she who confided With a vestal’s faith, and a virgin’s purity in your honor and your morals, had a cor roborative pledge in that publicity, which could not leave her to suffer or be Alined against in secret. All the calculations of her reason, all evidence of her experi ence, combined their confirmation. Her own parental home Was purity itself, and your’s might have bound Republicans to Royalty ; it would have been little leas than treason to have doubted you; and oh! she was right to brush away the painted Vermin that infest a court, who would have withered up her youthful heart with the wild errors of your youthful minori ty! Oh! she was right to trust,the hon or of “Fair fcr gland's” heir, and weigh but as a breath-Mown grain of dust a thousand follies and a thousand faults balanced against the conscience of her husband. She did confide, and what has been the consequence ? History must record it. Sire, when the brightest gem in your diadem shall have mouldered, that this young, con fiding, inexperienced creature had scarcely heard the last congratulatory ad dress upon her marriage, when she wa* exiled from her husband’s bed, banished from her husband’s society, and abandon ed to the pollution of every slanderous sycophant who chose io crawl over the ruin ! Merciful G d! was i*. meet to leave a human being so situated, with all her passions excited and inflamed to the im pulses of such abandonment! Was it meet thus to subject her inexperienced youtli to the scorpion stinging of exaspe rated pride, and all its incidental natural temptations? Up to the blight of that all withering hour no human tongue dared to asperse her character. The sun of patronage was not then strong enough to quicken into life the serpent brood of slanderers: no starving aliens, no hungr*' tribe of local expectants, then hoped to fatten upon the offals of the Royal rep. utation 6h« was not long enough in widowhood, to give the spy and the per jurer even a colour for th rir inventions. The peculiarities of the foreigner—the weakness of the female—the natural viva city of youthfu innocence, could not be 1 tortured into “demonstrations strong;” for you, yourself, in your recorded let ter, had left her purity not only unim peached but unsuspected. That invalua ble letter, the living document of your separation, gives i,s the sole reason of vour exile, that your inclinations were not in your power! That, Sire, and that alone was tha terrific reason which yon gave your consort for this public and heart rending degradation Perhaps they were not; but give me leave to aslc, are not the obligations of religion independent of us? Has any man a right to square the i solemnities of marriage according to his rude caprices? Am I your lowly subject, 1 to understand that I may kneel before i the throne of God, and promise conjugal i fidelity till death, and self absolve myself ■ at what ever moment it suits my “inclina- < tion.” 5« T ot so with that mitred Bench i who seeing her majesty arraigned before 1 ■hem read to you this ceremony. The,, i will tell you it is the most solemn or 1 finance of man—consecrated by the ap- I nroving presence of our Saviour—ac t knowledged by the community—the < source of life’s purest pleasures: and of | leath’s happiest consolation—.the rich 8 fountain of our life and being, '’-hose 1 draught Mt only puriifft csi«t*Bo% but ‘ catues ia»n to Lve In Ms pwterlty;—Uief ( will tell you that it cannot perish by < “inclination,” but by cnme, and that ii there ia any difference between the | prince and the peasant who invoke its ! obligation, it is in the more enlarged i duty emailed upon him, to whom the A1 mighty has vouchsafed the influence of an example. Thus, then, within one year after mar riage, was she flung '* hke a loathsome weed” upon tiie world, no cause assign ed except your loathing inclination! It mattered nothing, that, for you site hail sur rendered all her worldly prospects—that she had left her home, her parents; and her country —that she had confided in the ardour of a IVmce, and the heart of a man, ami the faith of a Ch’istian ; she had it scents, in owe little year M outlived your liking,” and the poor, abandoned, branded, heart-rent outcast, must bear it all in silence, for —rhe teas a dfetirelees ■tmmun and att ranger Let any man of ordinary feeling think on her situation at this trying crisis, and say he dots not feel his heart’s blood boil within him ! Poor unfortunate! who could have envied her salaried shame and her royal humiliation ? The lowest peasant in her rfcvisidnary realm was happy ih the comparison. 'The parents that loved her were far, far away ; the friends of Her youth were in another latid—she wat alone and among strangers, and he who should have rushed between her and the bolt of heaven, left her ex posed to a rude world’s caprices. And yet she lived, and lived without a mur mur; her tears were silent—-her sighs v\ eve lonely; and when yon perhaps in the rich blaze of earth's magnificence for got that such a wretch existed, im> re proach of her’r awoke your slumbering memory. Perhaps she cherished the vis ionary hope, that the babe whose “ peri lous infancy,” she cradled; .might one day he her hapless mother advocate! How fondly did she trace each faint, resem blance I Each little patemal smile, which played upon the features of the child, might some distant day be her redemp tion ! How, as it lisped the sacred name of father, did she hope its innocent tone might yet awake within that father’s breast some fond association; Oh sacred Fan cies ; Oh sweet and solemn visions of a mother—who but. must hollow thee ! Blest be the day-dream that beguiles her heart, and robes each cloud that hovers o’er her child in airy colours of that heart’s ereaton! Too soon life’s- wintry whirl winds must comb to sweep tire prisoned vapour into nothing. Thus, Sire, for many and many a heavy year did your deserted Queen beguile her solitude. Meanwhile for you a flat tering word assumed its harlot smiles—the ready lie denied your errors—the villain courtier defined each act, which in an humble man was merely duty, and mid the din of pomp, and mirth, and revelry, if remorse spoke, ’twas inarticulate. Be lieve me. Sire, when all the tongues that'flattered you are mute, and all the gaudy pageants that deceived you are not even a shadow, an awful voice will ask in thunder, did your poor wife deserve this treatment merely from some distaste of “ inclination?” It must be answered Did not the altar’s vow demand a strict fidelity, and was it not a solemn and a sworn duty, “for better and for worse,” to watch and tend her; correct her wayward ness by gentle chiding, and fling the fondness of an husband’s love between her errors and the world ? It must be answer ed, where the poorest rag upon the poorest beggar in your realm shall have the spendour of a coronation garment. Sad, alas! were these sorrows of her solitude; but sad at they were, they wer ■ but in their infancy, The first olow nass ed-—a second and severer followed. The darling child, over whose couch she shed her silent tear—-upon whose head she poured her daily benediction—in whose infant smile she lived, and moved, and had her being, was torn away, and in the mother’s sweet endearments she could no longer lose the miseries of the wife- Her father, and her laurelled brother too, up on the field ofbatUe, sealed a life of glory, in a soldier’s death, far happier that this dreadful day was spared'them ! Her sole silrviving parent followed soon, and though they left her almost alone on earth, yet how could she regret them? she has at. least the bitter consolation, that their poor child's miseries did not break their hearts. Oh, miserable woman! made to rejoice over the very grave ofhei kindred, in mournful gratitude that their hearts are marble. Durina a long probation of exile and of woe, bereft of parents, country, child and husband, she had one solace still—her character was unblemished By a refine ment upon cruelty, even that consolation was denied her Twice had she to mi dirgo the inquisition of a tec vet trial, originating in foul conspiracy, and ending in complete acquittal. The charity of her nature was made the source of crime— The peculiarities inseparable from her birth were made the ground of accusation - her very servants were questioned whether every thought, and word, and look, and gesture, and visit, were not all so many overt aett of adultery; k and when her most sacred moments had been heart lessly explored, the tardy verdict which freed her from the guilt, could not absolve her from the hnmitating consciousness of the accusation. Your gracious farther, in deed with a benevolence of heart more Royal than his Royalty, interposed his arm between innocence and punishment; for punishment it was most deep and griev ous, to meet discountenance from all your family, and see the fame which had defied all proof, made the capricious sport ofhiat and insinuation, while that farther lived, she still had some protection; even in his night oflife there was a sanctity about Him which awed the daring of the high way slanderer—his honest, open, genuine English look, would have silenced a whole banditti of Italians. Your father acted upon the principles he professed—he was not more reverenced as a King than he was beloved and respected as a man and no doubt he felt how poignant it must have been to be denounced as a widow in her husband’s life time. But death was busy with her best protectors, and the venerable form is which would have shielded a dangmer & i a Brunswick. He would have warned the Milan panders to beware the honour of his ancient House; he would have told i them, that a prying, pettifogging, pur- i chased inquisition upon the unconscious privacy of a royal female, was not in the 1 spirit of the English character; he would have disclaimed the petty larceny of any diplomatic piek-ftekef ; anti bo would hare i told the whole rabbfe ~ H ers and swinding ai J 1 Rj “4d i-J; laughters existence staJJ* 10 *.
