th« call of the counties was in pr. tress, when Mr.

The.r length prevents r.j joi a copy for
publication, it is sufficient, however. to remark
that they are very much oi the Locofoco stamp,
denouncing ail Banks, and proclaiming the excel
lencies of a gold aid sliver currency.
The number of resolutions of this character, be
tpeak too plainly their object, and the desperate
situation of the party from whence they come,
wb* no doubt regard this as their only hope of
bringing their party again into power. Forlorn as
tm* hope certainly is, they seem ts regard it as i
the.r cnlj ral }mg pomt, and upon it a must con
tinuous and desperate effort wii, be made before
the people to rear a sup rstruction.
When tne Clerk hsd gene t rough with the cal!
of the counties, during which many local bills were
introrucea, the House adjourned.
In the Senate on Friday, little was done of in

From Texas.
By an arrival from Texas we have received
Galveston papers to the 7*h inst. A treaty of
amitv and Commerce was concluded on the
18th of September last, between Holland and
Texas. Tr e Courier of the 7th mentions that
a long time has elapsed since any accounts es
I Indian depredations within the territory have
1 been received. The Cumanches appiear uncom
monly quiet, ana dispM>sed to go peaceaoly into
winter quarters. The exped.tion lately fitted out
under Col. Moore and that Col. Howard will pro
bably somewhat disturb their anticipated securi
ty. An encounter will no doubt soon take place
between companies and the Indians, wh-ch
will efleclually prevent further molestation to the
; whites.
The President of Texas was dangerously ill,
and unable to attend to his official duties. The
session of Congress has commenced.
A rumor is in town, says the Houston Star of
tbe sth, that the Federalists were defeated and
flying back into Texas—that the success they ob
tained was merely over the rearguard of Arista
but on tbe coming up of his main body, they
were cut to pieces. <kc. We place but little con
fidence in the rumor.

“ The Globe” of August 10th last, published
from the“C adleor Liberty” an abolition print,
an account of a“ Women’s Convention” held at
the house of Nathan Webster, in Haverhill, Mass,
at which a few probably, over heated females pas
sed resolutions tespecling “distinebon of color.”
and very significantly inquires, (designing to in
timate that such is the fact,) ‘‘whether Na nan
Webster, at whose house the meeting was he d.
is not a cousin or relative of Daniel Webster,”
(meaning Hon. Daniel Webster ot the Senate
U. S.) being well acquainted with those gentle
men. I am able to info<m the Globe and its rea
ders, hat “Nathan Webster” is not a relative of
Hon. Dame Webster, and is probably w holly un
known to him. and further, that this Nathan Web
ster is an active member of the Giobe party, and
advocates the destructive measures of Walker,
Buchanan, and Tappan. And further, that he
was a zealous ana active Federalist until about
1833. when tbe Morton party having obtained a
majority in Haverhill, he went over to that party,
and was elected by that party a representative to
the Massachusetts House. He is an avowed Ab
olitionist. and has since 1833 been an active par
tisan of Morton and Van Buren, and as such was
elected in 1835 and 1836 to the General Court,
j And at t&is very lime he is a candidate for the
Massachusetts Senate on the Loco Morton ticket
“ Tne South" will learn from this statement, w hat
reliance to pDce on the insinuations and state
ments of the Globe on the subject of abolition ;
and will be assisted properly to reprobate the dis
honest meanness of this mendacious print,

Mr. Legare's Speech at National Hall. X.
York,
On Friday evening, seems to have carried a
way all hearers. The glowing eulogiura pro
nounced in the annexed extract, from the Times,
is we are assured, not exaggerated :
His speech, last night, was the most vigorous
and beautiful appeal to the intellect and the
heart, that we remember to have heard even from
his bps. His reasoning was demonstrati n, his
r illustrations weie poetry. He traced through all
- its turnings and windings the financial policy of
the Administration, and commented upon tneir
arrogance and their blunders, with a sarcasm that
was absolutely consuming. Xu man who beard
his exposition of the false p inciples the con
traded. unphilosopbical, petty views of the small
oeer statesman who now conducted the affairs of
our Government, could fail to feel that ibis great
nation had been the victim, not only of political
knavery, Sul of drivell ng imbecility. One of
the most beautiful portions of Mr. Legate’s har
angue was his eologium on the mercantile cla-s.
After describing the manner in w hich the mer
chants h-id been persecuted and hunted down by
this Administration, he proceeded lo speak of
their c airns to the parental care and protection
of Government. They did the bu-iness of the
country at their own risk ; they were the great
promoters of civilization, the peace-makers of
the world. By whom was the war upon the
merchants, upon the whole business of the coun
try, directed? By a sen of New Yont. But
she would repair the error she had cornu.itted in
assisting him to the Presidential chair. Unlike
the mother of Nero who, on being told that if be
were male Emperor, she would be put to death,
exclaimed “ Let him reign tbougn I perish I”
Lnlike the incestuous Agrippina. New York
would immolate her son rattier than her sen !
should immolate the libert.es of the People.—
Mr. Legare spoke with great fervor and eloquence
of the wide spread demoralization which must
necessarily fl .w from the maxim which the Ad
mini'tration party has avowed, and upon which
the Government acted “to the victors belong
the spoils. He quoted the passage in Tacitus,
where the historian, after picturing in a few bold
outlines the convulsions, political and natural,
which marked the bloodiest epoch in the hislorv
of imperial Rome, referred to the fa t that spits
and informers were employed bv the Govern
ment, and that the tools and instruments cf po
litical profl gacy were invested with the highest
dignities of the Empire, as the climax of the in
famy and degradation of the once proud mistress
of the world. Such, be said, was the policv,
such were the agents and officials of Martin Van
Buren. The casting out of the men now in
power would be a work of pur flcalion. That
would be done. The day had come—judgement
had been passed, and he moved for execution. ’

GIIKCIB AT MIS ISD THIMGB.
Boston, September, 1840.
In traversing the counties of Essex, Suffolk,
and Norfolk, on the East side of England. I have
been struck with the similarity in the names of
the towns and those in Eastern Massachusetts—
a strong indication that the goodly New England
State was settled by emigrants from this p art of
old Englaad. I could not feel like a foreigner in
Ipswich, Chelmsford. Malden. Braintree. Wal
tham. Linn, Attleboro, Hmghara, Sudbury, Hav
erhill, Stow. Malboroor Needham, and I an, quite
at home here in Boston. Identity of language
(strengthens the delusion. But the charm is ea
sily broken. This is not the Boston. Nor are
these plains extending for scores of miles, with
scarce an elevation to rest the eye upon—these
p r, ne hedgerows; these tile-roofed villages, whose
j Church bells have tolled the knell of centuries—
j these vilely clad women and children gleaning
j the harvest fields lo gather the straws which
. the hand of parsimony has dropped—these don
key carts creeping to maiket with the laboring
. j man’s pittance—Tnese haughtv liveries, lavish
. i of powder and pomp —these, these, are not the
I England; who would exchange them fur the free

Mr UWS GREEN LAND FOREVER !
; Through the ziz-zig route we followed from
I Ipswich to Boston, furnished many objects of in
-1 terest l will barely allude to two or three of them.
M There was Bury-St-Edmunus with its great Ab-
I hey built by W illiam the Conquerer, now a pile
1 or ruins covering many acres. An extensive bo
-3 lanical garden, fringed and interwoven with eve
-1 ry variety of plants and flowers, occupies what
• was once the interior quadrangle of the Abbev.
Two of the main gateways, in good p'eseivauon,
impress the beholder with all that is chaste and |
majestic in the comlgnatu ;i of Nor an with Sax- j
ou Architecture. Some handsome dwelling
houses have recently been inserted in the old |
Walls, and their gay modern windows, green j
doors, and red roofs muig.mg witu the hoary
intkjuitv of the A: bcy.g.ve »t a romantic and I
unique appearance. \
We slopped in Cambridge long enough to ad
mire one ot the choicest of Gotnic
work in England, the Chap pel of King’s College;
and to eaten a glimpse at :he flowing gowns
and brisk caps of Ihe literary loiterers on the banks
of the -classic Cam.’ Returning from a ram
ble through ihe croaked streets of the town—in
w hich there is an odd mixture of meanness with
magnificence—we found our post-chase at the ho
tel door. Promising ourselves another visit to
Cambridge after we had seen its rival, Oxford,
our horses leaped lorward towards Huntingdon
shire, the birth-place and residence of Oliver
Cromwell, the hum le brewer of Huntingdon, the
puritan farmer ot St. Ives, the matcnlessconquer- i
or at Naseby.and the far-sighted and high mind
ed Proctor of .he British commonwealth. Those
who have copied Cromwell's character Irora the
prejudiced pages of Hume and Goldsmith, will
wonder that we lingered two or three days with
increasing interest mound the youthful haunts of
this •• Hypocrite and Usurper.” B t. so it is.
Our hearts swelled as we stood ou the spot ot his
birth in the homely iittie town of Huntingdon.
Even the dust on the walls ol its old school-room,
where Cromwell's Desk is shown, was precious
in our sight. We spent gratifying hou's in look
ing at his hand writing (bold and strong, like
the man) inserted on the C..urch records when
he was warden of St. Ives, and in waking thro’
the house and over the farm Ue so long occupi
ed ir. that retired village, when training his mind
and bean for that struggle whose < arthquake was
to topple bead-long the sanctified corruption of
ages. Our flee blood grew warm in riding over
the plains cultivated by the independents o Hun
tingdonshire—the “Ironsides’’ ot the revolutiona
ry army wnocn Cromwell fired wiiu a hatred
of Kijgiy and Priestly ryianny. which, in after
year?, marshalled ly nts 'kill in the fie.d, swept
to rum the legions of an arrogant court and hier
archy. like chaff before the w hirlwind. All this
may seem wild enthusiasm. But, who that loves
freedom ot consc ence in religious faith and eclesi
astical government, will not admire the cold and
consistent champion of this priceless principle ?
An impartial oiograpbv of Oliver Cromwell is
yet to be written. Royalists have discoursed of
him. He said to Sir Harry Vase, "I would a>
soon put my sword through the heart of me king
as that ot any other man. What a rent in the
sacred veil which shrouded the anointed tyrant!
J’he startling truth— the King is bct a man
streamed through it. Churchmen have written
or him. He abolished the monopoly of their
E'lablishmenl, stabled bis troopers in tzeir Ca
j ihcdiais. and seeing twelve silver statues in the
niches of the chapter-house at York Minster, ask
ed the trembling Dean. - What are these!” -The
twelve Apostles. "Take them down and coin
them into money, that th«y go about doing
good like thru Master.” Scotch Presbyterians
have capped at him. He dashed in pieces their
iron system and erected Independency on its
ruin?. Infidel historians have b otted his charact
er. He preached and prated wim the Puritans
of Huntingdonshire. Literary aristocrats have
lampooned him. He came up from the mos—
wrested the plate of Cambridge University from
the royalists who were an >ut to mHt it down for
the use of Charles—imprisoned the heads of the
Colleges for disobey ing the orders of parliament
—and more than all. wa- no poet, knew hale of
\ irgil. and wrote in a lumbering. entangled stvie.
Contemporaneous repul It anscalled him a tyrant.
Arid such. r« pu' u ans He ground them to fmw
der. because, under the name of Freedom, they
plotted to restore monarchy, and lo bring back
the gags, and dungeons, and faggott* of the ec
clesiastic. 1 here have lived hose who have even
disputed the talents of Cromwell. But. the tact
stands out bes re the world, that an obscure in
dividual without title, property, or influential
friends, created the means and trained the men,
winch, under h;s leaJer-l p. conquered in manv
a field and against fearful odds, the hereditary
chivairy ot England. \\ aen the ts?ue afterwards
came—who shad consolidate and govern the new
commonwealth! -the scores ot great minus around
, the revolutionary council-board of 1650, found a
mailer spirit among them, whose altitude thev
had never measured. T. e brewer became the
Protector, and the farmer of St. Ives gave law lo
Britain. Nor did he. in the height of bis power,
despise the steps by wnich he ascended. Freedom
ot conscience shone conspicuously on his escut
cheon ; and while w ith one hana be shielded the
humble Quake: from persecution at home, with
ihe other be wrung respect and homage for die
Commonwealth from every Monarch in Europe.

not omit mentioning what wesaw at Huntingdon
yesteroay. while waning for the Boston coach. It
was “ statue-day —i e.. the anniversary when
the servants of the county whose terms of service
have expired, assemble at the shire-town to seek
employers for the new year. It usually happens
; about Michaelmas. It is called Statue Dav (I
j believe) because, in the olden time, a Statue was
erected in the market place—a butler handing a
cup to his master—at whose base the parlies j
transacted their bu-iness. Formerly, it was a i
scene of great hilarity and display. There were
rare exhibitions of wild beasts, an oration from
j the Mayor or High-Bail ff. Morris-dancing, street
processions with nus c and banners, pony races,
j tills at quarter-staff—the finale crowned with a
grand ball. Ibe march ot mind has left it a drun
ken carousal. At Huntingdon, ragged ballad
singers were screeching in the streets—hand or
gans were grinding melody to a feathered edge
—-Punch and Judy’* w. re fighting at the coiners
—here, “the largest ral in tne world” was shown
j for a penny—there you could see “alive sheep
j whose bind legs we zh 50 p unds,” for two pence
—and, in almost every inn. males and females
were dancing reels in the tap rooms with hob
nailed shoes and hats on, many of the women
! holding cans ot ale in their hand's as a quid pro
quo to the segars and long pipes which the men
were smoking in their faces. Ob, thought I. if
this had happened in the back woods of Wiscon

She treathed a song of other days,
A tear-drop dimmed her eye ;
For the minstrel's magic art had swept
The hiifen strings of memory.
And ere hex lips had breathed the strain.
She bent her gaze on high ;
And fiom her bosom's inmost depth*.
Her heart sent forth a sign.
Ah ! bitter was the vain regret.
And vain the poet's powers ;
Which bioughl alone tbeii meracry,
Without her cbiidhooi’s hours.
Those hours, when peace and love we.e hers.
And like the driven snow ;
That beard, which now within her breast
Throbb'd only with its wee.
When home's endearments, and the joys
Os innocence and love,
Around her young and buoyant heart.
Their greenest garland wove.
Ere she had left the kindred band.
In error's path* had strayed ;
“ Ere she had mourned, ere she_had wept. - ’
Ere she had been betrayed.
My heart was sad, I could not lock
Unmoved upon her brow ;
Nor mark, without a secret pang.
Her tears of sorrow flow.
Methought I could have loved her once,
la her young girlhood's pride ;
Ere in the depths of sin »nd shame.
Her heart's young bloom had died.
But now, the withering wand had passed,
And sered the spotless brow—
Her soul's “bright morning teas gone,
I could not love her note.
For she had ieft those fountains clear.
Which only spring to bless ;
And all the brightest hopes of earth.
Had bartered for its wretchedness.
But often from that soft blue eye.
The siient tear will st*rt;
Oft will that bosom Leave a Sigh,
Ere sorrow may depart.
Yes, often will her lonely heart.
Its aspiration? raise
