Under the kind and affectionate superintendence

youth. Her lovely form expanded into the bud-
of the late George Tassels? As 1 am unable to i ding'graces of woman, while her mind, stored with
conceive any adequate motive for Mr. Gilmer’s
singular views on this subject, I must set them
down either to his weakness of understanding or
sheer ignorance of the Indian character. 1 am
fully convinced that no one who entertains such
views, cao ever be calculated to conduct our im-
f ortant and delicate relations with the Cherokee
ndiana to a successful and honorable ><o>.> asinn.
A few remarks touching Mr. Lumpkin's qualifi
cations; and 1 have done. This gentleman, thro’
a long life of public service, has made himself in
timately acquainted with our Indian affairs, and
knows more perhaps of the Indian character and
manners than any public man in Georgia. His
clear head, sound views, and honest heart, will ne
ver permit him to fall into such gross errors as Mr.
Gilmer has done. He is moreover a politician of
the Jeffersonian school, than whom no patriot is
willing to go to greater lengths in arresting the pro
gress of federal usurpations, and defending the
reserved rights of the States from the encroach
ment of the general government. He is opposed
to the misnamed American system, root and
branch. In a word, he is a democrat, professing
the political doctrines of '98, and goes with the
majority of the South on all the important ques
tions connected with our federal relations. Still
Mr. Lumpkin, though most zealously devoted to
the rights of the Slates, is willing that the federal
government, untrammelled by sectional jealousies
and interests should freely exercise such powers
as are clearly delegated. * He is willing to give
unto Cesar the things that arn Cesar’s. To his
sound political views on all questions immediate
ly connected with the interests of the South, he
unites a puiitv of heart and honesty of purpose
which have been fully tested through many yoara
of public service, and which his worst enemies
have never been able to attack with success. To
conclude, as Mr. Lumpkin was one of the first to
espouse the cause of General Jackson, and has
supported him through good report and bad report,
he will never desert him until Jackson himself de
serts the principles which he has brought into of
fice and which brought him into office.

THE HUNTER’S 15RIDE.
Never did Grecian child trice

In (he wild and romantic country, lying between
Lake George and the head waters of the Hudson
River in tho northern part of the State of New
York, are several reservoirs of water, made from
the flowings of the mountain springs, whose sin
gular transparency and pellucid brightness are tru
ly remarkable. Some of these aie several miles
in extent, and are entirely surrounded by moun
tains covered with apruce pine and fir, whose ever
green verdure renders this probably one of the most
picturesque and beautiful regions in the United
States.
The surface of the country being so wild and
mountainous as to be entirely unfit for cultivation,
this romantic region remains, even at the present
day, but very thinly settled. Hence such game as
* 11 -1 _ —tj—_ 111—n f Aniariaa IO
the choicest gems of literature of the period, drew
from the fond parents, who witnessed the ripening
of so much loveliness, many fend expressions of
feeling which none bat a parent can know or de
scribe.
For the convenience of his intercourse with the
neighboring forests as well as fishing excursions,
St. Omer kept a light little canoe, in which Julie
used frequently to amuse herself with the agreeable
exercise of the oar. Sometimes accompanied by
her governess, and at other times by the servant
of the family, she frequently spent huurs, in the
summer-evenings, in excursions to the main land,
and in rambling up the sides of the tugged moun
tains, to gather such few flowerets as grew on their
sterile steeps. With the light tread of the deer of
her native wilds, she would almost outstrip it in
flectness, as she sprang up the rugged acclivities
to gather a small boquet, as a token of fond affec
tion to het mother.
Thus, in happiness and seclusion, passed the
peaceful years of these islanders, until the period
when Julie had entered her sixteenth summer.—
The solitude of their habitation was never distuib-
and he was received by the family
and friendly greeting. , .idStS
This visit, which lasted several days, disclosed
to the happy islanders more fully the noble bearing
and generous disposition of their new friend. Ilis
home was in one of the little towns on tho neigh
boring Lake Champlain; and, being out with a
hunting party, had separated from them and lost
his way at the time of the accident which intro
duced him to his new acquaintances, whose resi
dence in the forest he hail sometimes heard men
tioned by the hunters. By birth ao Englishman,
and having at. his majority inherited a considerable
property, Tie embarked at the age of twenty-two
for the colonies, and seated in the beautiful and
romantic region on the western shore of Lake
Champlain.
Our story must needs draw to a close, as out
readers, if they are not asleep,, must, by this time,
have fully anticipated the conclusion. After sev
eral visits, and the enjoyment of many weeks in
the society of (he happy islanders, Mr. Percival at
length returned, accompanied by a gentleman
whose bearing and garb denoted one of the cleri
cal order. On the following evening, the little
cottage was brilliantly lighted up, and the sweet
and blushing flower of these wilds became the
fend bride of the happy hueler, .who eoou after
conveyed tier to bis home.
The islanders, ihough robbed of their fondest
treasure, continued to live in happiness and con
tentment in their quiet seclusion. Some three
years afterwards, a little rosy-faced light-haired
urchin occupied die knee of his grandfather, play
fully ministering also to the amusement of his
grand mother, in thesame little cottage whfchhad
witnessed the same interesting scenes of his mo
ther—the Hunter’s Bride. ay

vious morning. With hi3 direction, she readily
found the place; yet the acclivity where they were
was so rugged nnd steep, it seemed almost impos
sible for human effort to reach them. She howev
er made the effort, whilo her governess remained
where the canoe was moored in waiting. With
some difflulty,ehe had nearly reached them, when
the firing of a goo immediately on the -rock above
so unexpectedly surprized jpd alarmed her, that,
losing her self-command, aha'was precipitated vi
olently down the piecipice some distance. _ The
hunter, who was the unconscious cause of this ac
cident, hearing a female scream, and a rustling as
of something falling down the precipice, sprang
down through a crevice in the rock, and soon
reached the place where lay, insensible, the object
of bis search. The governess, who by this time
was near, uttered an exclamation of surprize, while
the huntsman held in his arms the sufferer,‘whom,
on discovering her, ht bore to where she stood,
and, by hef guidance, to the water’s edge. Hero,
by the application of some watei and chafing her
temples, she recovered from her insensibility, and,
opening her fair eyes, found lierselfsttpported by a
stranger, from whom she shrunk with instinctive
delicacy. Somewhat assured however by the pre
sence of her kind governess, she replied to his len
der inquiries after her health without much agita
tion, though apparently with much pain. He was
a tall and graceful young man, apparently not more
than twenty-five years of age, dressed in a hunter’s
suit of Scottish green, a graceful hunter's cap, and
around his body, the usual belts and implements
of hunting. He apologized, and deeply regretted
being the cause of so unfortunate an accident, and
begged, as soma amends for his being its uncon
scious cause, the privilege of assisting the ladies
home, which, in their present situation, they were
compelled to-accept. Julie, with the asststance.of
the hunter and her governess, was borne to the ca
noe; when the former, with a skilful hand, guided
it to the island. St. Omer, who saw the approach
of the canoe at some distance propelled by a
stranger, hastily communicated this to his wife;
and together they hastened to the water-side. As
the little vessel approached the landing, they saw
thrir daughter resting in the arms of the governess;
when the mother, fearing a fatal accident, swooned
from Clinton.

Madamoiselle de Graramom, who had some lit
tle skill in surgery, which she had learnt while at
tached to the convent, examined into the state of
Julie's wounds. Finding that no limb was.brpkcn,
and her injuries were principally external bruises,
she made such applications as her limited means
afforded; and, giving her patient a composing
draught, she was soon quietly at rest. On the
following morning, in reply to the inquiries of her
anxious parents, she joyfully informed them, that
she felt much relieved, and hoped soon to recover
from tho effects of the accident. This, with her
thanks for his kind aitention, was communicated to
Mr. Percival, who oohafterleftihem.not however
without having besought and nbtaiued permission
again to visit the island, which, ht said, he would
do in the course of the following week. He was
then conducted by the servant io the canoe to the
scene of the accident, where he had ldt his rifle,
which hesoon found, and pursued his way thiough
the adjoining forest. ,
Within a few days, the lovely invalid had nearly
recovered from the effects of her accident, and, in
the following week was able to ramble through the
garden and grounds as usual. Oo the day ap

nothing. With Mr. Van Buren, I have had frequent,
personal and official intercourse, and the time ua>
wheu he possessed my confidence. Mr. Calhoun’s
private virtue: and public services, particularly during
tho late war, together with bis high order of talents,
always commanded my respect; bnt his latitudinous
political doctrines, during Mr. Monroe’s administra
tion, met my disapprobation. Hence it is that no
one, correctly informed, has ever considered me bis
E olitical partisan. As te myself, I can traly say that I
avc no person iu view for the succession. I am at
a loss to say who among the prominent politicians I
ought to support Fortunately for me and the coun
try, this question may yet be advantageously post-
poned. '
The present controversy between Genera! Jackson
and Mr. Clay, can never divide Southern politicians
to any extent. The -‘American system,” the hobby
of the latter, has but few advocates among the South

General Jackson then, Who is himself a planter, we
must depend, with a confident reliance on the justice
of Congress for relief against the oppression of a sys
tem of exactions which, if persevered in, must ulti
mately lead to the most calamitous resuits. The
great and fundamental principles, which divided our
country into parties, are of momentous concern,, and
are every way worthy of tbe untiring vigilance of
the American people. The Journals of tne Senate
of the United States for the six years that I was a
member of that body,-will best show my opinions on
the Tariffs of 1824 and '28, which now threaten the
the repose of the Union, and tbe prosperity of the
Southern,country. These afford an earnest of the
course which I shall feel it to be my duty to pursue
in reference to any measure which may be calculat
ed to repeal or mitigate this “bill of abominations," as
it has been emphatically called by one of its present
most active ana efficient supporters,
Tbe next point to which yon invite my attention,
Is tbe Bank of tbe United States. I am unable to
lercelyehow I can vote for the renewal of tbe char
ter in any form. My opinion in relation to tbe Banks
is of long standing, apd has, in North Carolina at
least, become somewhat of public notoriety. I have
believed that it was the intention of the Federal Con
stitution, that the currency of tbe United States
should have been metallic, and I inferred this from
the technical languige employed, and the exclusive
jower given to Congress to corn money and regulate
ts value, with the positive inhibition on the States to
do the same thing or to emit bills of credit, or to
mnke any thing but gold or silver coin a tender In
payment of debts. But the ingenuity of man has
sought out many inventions, and tho person would be
thought mad, who, at this day, would seriously urge
tto Move opinion, finding that every State in the Uni
on has chartered banks, and thereby indirectly regu-
Inted the value of money as effectually as though they
had tho power to coin ft. , . ...
A national bank has been recommended by tbe
President with certain well defined powers. 1 am
icrsunded that the President’s views have never been
airly presented or understood. He, I am sure, never
contemplated tbe establishment of such a_ hideous
monster as his political opponents have conjured up.
Such an institution in the bands of tbe Executive for
any other purpose, or with any olbcrjpowers than the
transmission of government funds, uom one part of
the union to another, I should depreciate aa the great
est calamity that could befall the couutry. ‘ '
Thus, gentlemen, I have responded to you fully
and freely I have no concealment in politics, My
principles remain now as in 1798, when they were
first formed at College. They have undergone no
change that I am sensible of. "They have grown
with my growth, and strengthened with my strength.
I have the honor to be, wittuhe^l^rt^esject,
