YES OR NO.
When of a mau I ask a question,
^ I wish lio’d answer Ye* or No,
Nor stop to make some smooth evasion.
And only tell mo—may bo so.
1 always doubt the friendly meaning
Of well—perhaps—I do not know;
When for a favor I am sueing
I’d rather hear the answer—No.
■ When of a friend I wish to borrovv
A little cash—to hear hint qay,
I've noUo today—but on tomorrow—
Is worse than if ho told mo hay.
Why all this need of plastering Over
What we in fact intend to show 1
Why not at once, with mif!di loss labor,
Say frankly, Yos, my friend, Or No?
I from my soul despiso ail quibbling,
I'll use it not with friend or foe;
But when they ask, without dissembling!
I'll plainly auswer Yes or No.
And when I ask the trembling question,
“Will yoti be mido, tny dearest Mis*]”
Then may thero bo no hesitation
To say distinctly, “Ye* Sir, Ytsi”
On the 14th inst. a Woman at Etuio (Mcnso)
was awaked from her *t:ephy a heavy pressure
upon her chest, and perceived ail Immense white
phantom upon her bed. Contrary to the disual
effect of tho insubus, sho was ahlo to cry out aud
did so with so much fierce that tbo room was soon
filled with her neighbors, who at first wero almost
in an equal stato of alarm with herself, but, on'
rallying their courage discovered that sho was
literally tormented With the night-marc, for, by
some unaccountable means a largo whits bone,
being attacked with a Vertigo, had. contrived to
mount a very narrow mid stoop flight of stairs,
pushed tho door of her chamber opcu, aud, perhaps
imagining that his asceut was not finished, bad
placed his foro foot on tho bed- However tho
animal may have got up, he certainly did not
disappear, liko a phantom, for his descent was
attended with so much diffir ulty that it was neces
sary to let him down by slinging him, and this
was not accomplished without tho aid of numer
ous assistants—Frtnch Paper. ' •
Magnificent Cyprus Tree.—In tho gardens
of Chapultcpcc, near Mexico, tho first object that
strikes tho oye is tho magnificent Cypress, called
the Cypress of Montezuma. It had attained its
full growth, when that monarch was on the throne
1520, so that it must bo at ioasl 400 year* old;
yot it still retains all the vigor of youthful vege
tation. Tbo truuk is forty-’one feet in circumfer
ence, yet the height is so majestic as to make even
this enormous mass appear slender. At. rianta
Maria do Tula, in Oaxaca, is a Cypress Oil F.ng-
lishfoet in'circumference, which yet does notshow
the lightest symtom of deeaye^/Fard'* Mexico.
Sir .Waller Siotl—Wo- havo- heard a gentle
man who was one of the party of Dunvegnu du-
during the visit of Sir Waltir Scott, describe in
enthusiastic terms the extent, variety, ami rich
ness of the conversational powers .of the illustrious
novelist. In one of their evening parlies; a young
lady who was present, made somo involuntary
exclamation on Sir Walter’s wonderful memory,
when as nn iostanco; ho said, of what bis memory
once was, he related ths following remarkable
circumstance:—His friend, Mr..Thomas. Camp-
bciltXalled upon himono evening to.show biin the
manuscript'of apoem ho hud written—The Plea
sures of Hope. Sir -Walter happened to have
somo fine old whiskey in tho house, arid his friend
sat down ond had a tumbler of punch. Mr.
Campboll left him; but Sir Walter thought he
would dip into tho mnuuscripthcfore going to bed.
He opened it, read it, aud read again—charmed
with the classical grace, purity nnd stateliness of
tho finest of all our modern didnctic poems.—
Next- morning Mr. Campbell again called, when
to his inexpressible surprise, bis fricud, on return
ing tho manuscript to its owucr, said he should
guard well against piracy, for that ho himself
could repeat the poem from licgiuuihg to cud!—
Tho ppot dared him to the task, when Walter
Scott began, and actually repeated the whole,
consisting of more than two thousand lines, with
the omission of only a few coupled.
A Whale.—A few days since, (says the N. Y.
Enquire* of the 11th inst.) accounts reached New
London that a shoal of whales had ticctt seen off
tho coast. They could have hardly found a more
dangerous spot to, vijit, fpr a dozen or two hardy
w halomcn immed iately were off in search of them,
nnd having encountered them near Sandy Hook,
made prize af a fellow ricar sixty feet in length.
He was towed up to tho city yesterday afternoon
by two Schooners, and the river was Crowded
l>v boats, filled with people auiious to get a sir’d
Bt this monster of tho deep. Ho passed last night
in tho East River near Governor's Island, bui wo
understand jvill bo towed this, morning to Castle
Garden, where he will bo exhibited ns long ns
possible, and then it ^calculated ho will prodaco
at least 50 barrels of oil.

Alarmintr Outrage.—About eight o'clock on
Monday evening, a little girl, aged seven yoars,
tho daughter of Mr. Latham, a respectable citizen
jesidinE in Provost street, w as sent by !i -r motlu r
to perform some email erruil( before she had
proceeded more than ten or tWelvo paces from
the door of the house in Which her fitqer resided,
four ruffians sullied forth from nn alley in which
they had hcon concealed, fixed a rope about her
ncc’k, aud instantly commenced dragging her with
great forte. The child screamed ns loud ns sho
could, and her mother immediately raised the
Jwindoiv of the room iri which she was then stand
ing. aud gave the alarm—upon which tho ruffians
The child Was so much alarmed ami hurt by
the extraordinary attack, that ilbccamo necessa
ry to carry her into the house.
This oceurrcuce, taken in connection With the
many disapnoaranccs wltich have lately taken
place, is OS a character so alarmin*. that wo
wouid not have mentioned it, if tl.ore' w as a
doubt of its truth. Our reporter saw the child
yesterday afternoon at Her father's bpufe. niter
tho affair had undergone investigation by tho Po
lice, and tlw marks left by the rope, and them v|-
liblc. arcuml her throat, were each ns lo induce a
jvonder that urangulath.q did uot ensue from ihe
violence with which it must have l>«eu drawn.
nctrators of the outrage sho describes as “boys a-
bout as big ns her father or a little larger," but
from tho darkness of tho night nnd tho alarm of
tho moment, she is unable to give moro minute
description of their persons.—IV. Y. finq.
Expedition to the Oregon.—A few days since
ajpartv of twenty-six voung men, from the East,
passed through Bnltimoi-o on their way to Cop
lumbia river, (tho Oregon,) iri the rixtromo Wes'u
of our country. Their travelling wagons, three
in number, wbre peculiarly constructed to he use
ful in their contemplated jouniey. Thei body of
tho wagon Was calculated to bo. used as a boat,
in crossing or passing on rivers, the wheels being
detached aud put into it. i,
The Knoxvilio Register shj», that Mr. Robert
Titus of that place has just completed a gold
watch-made entirely by himself, which is equal,
in all its parts, to tho best London work. The
cases are of pure Tennessee gold. It is a patent
lover with six pair of o jura jewels, and was made
expressly for the lion. Mr. Rheri; of Teunessco.
Mr. Titus has several other watches iti a state of
forwardness, similar to the ono just finished.

hitttesling Anecdote.—In the debate on tho 1
removal of Washington's remains in. tho-llouie of
ReprbsehtatiVcs, Me. lloWard, of Maryland, said,
“When the British fleet wns passing up tho Poto
mac with hostile intent, during tho iato wer, tho
commnudcr directed that when ho nrrivod oppo

tbo fact. When ho was told that tho ship w as

■■‘Revival of. Suttees.—It Is Well known (says tho
Falmouth Packet) that Lord William Bcutick,
the enlightened governor general of India, by
a proclamation which will immortalize his name,
put 'down the praqtjce of .suttees, or tho burniug
of widows. It seems, however, that tho procla
mation of a governor-general of India docs not
rociivo tho force of law uutil it has obtained the
sanction of the Directors at home: this, it appears,
(wo stato tho fact on tho authority of Mr. Buck
inghnm) thoy have, iu this instance, actually re
fused to give: iri consequence, the practice u re
vived! and iciloics are now again burnt in India
with impunity!
On digging the foundations of a now covered

A Geography of South Carolina.—A Geogra,
phy of this State by B(r. Thomn* Pt Lrickwood,
(says tho Charleston Ohscrver) has just been
published, accompanied with a map crigrarcd for

compilation appears to bcjudicious nud accurate,
and well adapted to the use of schools and fami-

The New Hampshire Sentinel says—“It is re

Orfgnn Territory.—Oa tbo l~tli ult. a resolu-
tion was passed hy tho Houso of Representatives
requesting thu President lo inform that body
“whether possession has been taken of any part
of tho territory of tho United State! on the Pa
cific ocean by tho subjects of any foreign power;”
to which ho replies, undor date of the 2d iustaut,
that there is no satisfactory information ori the
subject rtow in tin possession of tho. Executive,
and that none is likely to he obtained, except'by
a mission stt ou foot for tho express purpose,
which would be attended with “very considera
ble expense.” If a vessel of war should bo sent
to tho mouth of Columbia River, tho voyage out
nnd hack could opt lo; completed in less than 12
nr 13 months; Congress, ns yet, has taken uu
further order pu tho subject.

for the building of a market house, for the sum

Tippling.—The following is the Qfrmatl meth

drinking nud tippling upon Suundays and holy-
days, iu coffee houses Ac. during dis inoscrvice, are

was mr. Jefferson a nullifier?
When the advocates of opinions and system*
find tbit their theories cannot stand the test of
suher i rvectigatiun, thoy forthwith seek to skelter
themsel ves under the authority of high and veno-
rated liltmls—its if tho wisest and best man that
overlived wee freeiirpih thefraiitiei, of judgment
aud tlto depravity of heart which are moro or lots
tho universal heritage of his race. Thus it ia'
with the Nullifiers. At an early day after tho
first annunciation of this untenable doctrine of
the right of the minority to control tho action of a
representative government,—the true theory of
which, ou the contrary, is that each of its great
geographical suctions, and each of their divisions
and subdivisions, shall have precisely that weight
iri tile decision of all questions of a national cha
racter, to which its numerical strength entitles it;
and no more,—we shy, at ari early day after this
doctrine Was advanced, Mr. Jefferson aud Mr;
Aladisori Wero claimed as its putative fathers;
Tho latter, preserved by Providcuce to a ripo old
age, seized an early opportunity to disavow tho -
honor, sri far as bo Was concerned, 6f its paterni
ty, and, in an ablo argument which never hns
been and never can bo refuted, “wiped thoffoul
stain ffom bis dishonored brow." Mr. Jefferson
was in bis grave, aud his name, has therefore;
even uutil now, been held by tbo Nullifiers as
their leader—thrown iotd tho very van of the
fight, around which thoy of the truo faith have ,
rallied with all the devotion of Mussuhnen, smin-
moned to the dofence of the sacred banner of
their. Prophet from tho pollution Of the iufidei's
touch. Yet, the friends of Mr; Jbffotson have,
for him, boldly deriiod that ho ever sanctioned tut li
a doctriuo. Indeed, thoso who had bnen most iri
his confidence,—who had heard him frequently
converse Oil the subject of our Foderal Relations*
and who correspond with him on the delicate to
pic—never board him breatbo a syllable justifying
such an assumption. They therefore denied' tho
fact. But, at Icogth, it seems that his grandMui
has found among his Manuscripts a paper which
favors tho idoa that at one time ho did sanction
this dbetriue; • ' • ' ' ’

r Wo shall nbt pretend to conceal our regret that.
the name of_ Jefferson honors this document,

weaken tho form of this authority.
1. Mr. Jeflersou, with all his wisdom, enter-,
tained ideas remarkabio for their ecceutricity r -if.
not laughabiii for their absurdity. Such, for in-
stance, was his declared opinion, that, iri ov«y
country, there should ho a rebellion at least ont o
in twenty years, in order to bring governments
and governors back to first principles, and to pre
vent the spread oficorruptiou. Shall we try this '
experiment, because Mr. Jefferson sanctioned it
with his approbation? It would be not more
daugcrons than the doctrine of Nullification—and;
for aught WO can see, is equally as wise. Wo
might refer to other whims of Sir. Jefferson, to
show- that even he should not be followed in all
tilings.—Fallible, like bis fellows, be, not less fre
quently than they, ran into straugo and great er
rors, not tho least strange and great of which wns
his unbounded jealousy of the general govern
ment, nnd particularly of that branch with which
he wns least acquainted, nnd whose influence ho
seemed most to dread. Wo have as high a’ re
spect for .Mr. Jefferson's personal and politioal
character as any mau can have; but even ho,
“though ho wero tO risofrbm the dead,” could not
make us yield our assent to tho theory of the right
of the minority to rule—It is n doctrine, which
even wero it expressly recognized hy tho cousti-
tution, should he exercised with the utmost cau
tion—for. who does not see that it would open a
door for endless conflict between.thc general and
state government—demngogues of tho latter seiz
ing hold of every quostmu of local excitement to
aggravate slight feuds into bitter jeolousifcs, uutil
they ended in an appeal to arms, or In a dissolu
tion of the Union),
2: The document published above, as Mr. Jef
ferson’s, was produced at a period of high politi
cal oxeileirirut, aud w as in truth designed not so
much ns a commentary on, and exposition of, tho
constitution, as the manifesto of tho party of whit hi
ho was the acknowledged head.' We all koow
little .dependence is.to be placed rib such papers;
penned under swell influence, aud proriinlgati d at
such periods. At the same time, Mr. Madbou’*
celebrated Rfcport was issried; ami it is well
kriown that ono was inirinded to echo and support
tho.otbcr. By a strained interpretation; tbc one-'
trine of Nullification was deduced from Mr. Mon
roe’s Rotiort also; and yet, be denies that ho eve?
dreamed of such a thing ia drafting.lt, v How do
we know that Mr. Jefferson would uot makt tho
same disavowal, were he alive?
3. At a period long subsequent to the forego
ing document, when the -party of which Mr. Jef-
fersou was tbo leader bad obtaiued tbe ascendan
cy, and placed him in the Presidential chair, ho
advanced doctrines tho very antipodes of thatnoirf
imputed to him—which shows, that if he everou-
•ert,lilted seriously the idoa that a Stato hatd a
right to nullify a law. of the general government,
ho had learned better as ho grew older, and be-
came acquainted cxpcrimcntully with tbo opera
tion, of uur federal system. Listen to Iris em
phatic denunciation of this dortrinri, in his Inau
gural Speech; "Absolute acquiescence Iti the Will
of the Majority (says he) is the vital Principle of
Republics; from wliirh there is no appeal but id
force, the vital principle of Despotism!”—Wbi ri
to this is ndded, that, in nil his conversations and
correspondence dn the. relative rights of the fede
ral and state governments, be was never knftwa
to countcnauce the doctrine imputed to bibs, bht
on the contrary frequently spoke of tho “rigblfbl
remedy” of tho States, when encroached ripo?. by
tho general government, a* being lit, tho ballot
box; 2dly, remonstrance; arid 3dly, if the bur
thens should outweigh tho benefits of the Original
compact, secession;—when, we say, theso things
are remembered, no mau can doubt that Mr. Jcf-
fcrsonj'.nd, as early as the period of bis Inaugural
Address, repudiated tbu wild notions advanced iu
tbe resolutions above quoted, and that, to the day
of hi* death, they uever wero agahi entertained
by him.
But wo would hot care if Mr. Jefferson w*l,
throughout his life, a Nullifier, so far aa our ovrti
opinions are dependent on that circumstance.
Tbe doctrine is tbe Hartford Convention doctrine
—arid if it was right in 1708, and if it bo right
now in the South Carolinians, it was equally
right in the New Englanders in 1814. “Whaits
sauce for the goose, ia sauce foi the gaadcr."
And wo have no idea of that sort of justice which
holds up one set of men as standing objects cf
bitter vituperation and reproach, while anotb*'
set, guilty of the same tbiog, are lauded to thu
skies', ns men of high honor, exalted patriotism,
and all that sort of thing! Treason is traatats—
disunion is disunion—-call them by what latar-e
you with and bo they perpetrated try what ftapd.
they mw. And for oar own parts, :f the TtMUpb.
