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. The following pithy sentence, which is taketi from the Boston Morning Post, is extremely a r T le Friends of the Chevhees arc'iika the tec- onds in a duel—professing^ mo;t religious »n\- iety to sco fair play, hut determined that there shall bo bloodshed, right or wrong. 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. The Rutherford Spectator says, that tho fol lowing persons were committed td jail in that town on the 5ch instant, charged with shooting, wounding and wilfully murdering Noah Lattt- inorc, viz, Mrs. llaminh Moss, Jefferson Moss, Daniel Sisk, Robert Bisk nud Hepqey Bisk, 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 site to Mount Vernon, he should be iuformed of tbo fact. When ho was told that tho ship w as passing tho tomb of Washington, tho officers as sembled upon deck and passed by uncovered and in 6iicnco.’ r • . v ■■‘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 market at Mentz, several bodies of men with chains round their feet, hands and necks, were found twelve'or.fifteen feet underground. They appenr. tb have been thrown alive into nichru, which were afterwards filled up. This punish ment was not uncommon iri religious establish ments during the middle agosi 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 tho work. It is a manual, of about.138 pages, 18m6.—and ns far as wo have examined it, the compilation appears to bcjudicious nud accurate, and well adapted to the use of schools and fami- lW s. " — The New Hampshire Sentinel says—“It is re markable (hat there has never been a conviction fur the criino of perjury in this State, with the ex ception of n solitary instance, aud this happened from tho upbraiding of a man’s conscience, lie had beert hired to sWcar—tho causo was gained by his testimony. ]Ie suh.-icqnrrally presented himself to tho court, acknowledged his guilt, nnd ihorigbt no deserved puu!shmenti ; He was in dicted, aud is uow in the stato’s prison.” « • jf Tho Boston Post has discovered an infallible remedy to disperse a mob.

' ‘ 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.

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; • ' • ' ' ’ 4 • 4 t 4 • ♦ r Wo shall nbt pretend to conceal our regret that. the name of_ Jefferson honors this document, bill'wo have'sovcral considerations to urge, to 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.
