RATTIaE SNAKE HUNTER. “O.nit my ghastly title he told This heart within me burns ” Him: of the Ancient Mariner. During a delightful excursion in the vicinity ofthe Gieen Mountains, a few years sinco, 1 had the good fortune lo meet with a singular character, known in many par sos Vermont.t as llte Rattle snake Hunter. It was a warm clear day of sunshine, in the mirlle of June, that I saw him for ihe ft si lime, while engaged in a mineralogical ramble among the hilli (1 is head was bald, and his forehead was deeply marked with the strong linffs of care and age. His form was waged and meagre; and but for 'he fitoy vigor of his eye, he m.gltt have been, supposed inca p,idled by age and iufirpiitie* for even a slight exertion. Yet he'hurried over Ihe Ihe rude ledges of with a quick and almost youthful tread; and seemed earn estly searching among the crevices aud loose crags and stinted bushes around All a! once, he started suddenly drew himself back with a sort >.f shudder ing recoil—and then smote fiercely with his staff npoti the rock before him. An- Cher and auother blow—and he lifted Ate lithe and crushed from of a laige Rattlesnake upon the end of his rod. Theold man’s eye glt-s«timi,lnu his lip trembled as be looked stcdfusily upon his yet writhing victim. “Another of the accursed >acel” he muttered between his clenched teeth,'apparently unconscious ol Iffy presence. I was nowssatisfied that the per*. n be fore me was none other ll.au the Rattle snake Hunter. He was known through out the neighborhood as an oweast and 'fVhnderer, obtaining a’ miserable subsis tence from thecasual charities of the peo ple around him. His time was mostly spent among the rock arid rude hills,where his only object seemed to be the hunting out and destroying the dreaded Rattle snake* I immediately detei mined to sat isfy my curiosity,which had been s range ly excited by the remarkable appearance and behaviour of the strangei; and for this purpose I approached him* “Are there many of these reptiles iu ihis vicinity!” I inquiied, pointing to the crushed serpent. “They are getting to be scarce,” said the old man, lifting his slouched bat and wiping his bald brow; “1 have known tile time when von could bar My stir 'en reds from yonr door in this part of the State without bearing their low qui k rattle til your side, or seeing their many-colored bodies coiling up in your path. But as I said before,they are gening to be scarce —the infernal race will be extinct in a few year-i,—and, thank God, j have myself been a considerable cause of their extermination. “You most, of course,know the nature of those creatines perfec Jv well,” said I “do you believeqn their power of faciu Alton or chant tug?” The old mao's countenance ft*!!. There whs a visible struggle «»f feeling »i: bin him; for his tip quivered, and he and tshed his br<*wn hand suddenly ncoss his eyes; a< if to conceal a 'ear. But q m-kly recovering lie answered in the low,deep voice of one about to ro veal some horrible secret.- “I believe in the Rattlesnake’s power of fascination asfirmly as I believe in my own existence.” Sutely,” said I, “von du not believe that they have power over human beings.” “I do—l know it to be s*»!"—and die cylti man trembled as he spoke. “You ate » stranger to me,” lie said slowly, af ter scrutinizing my features for a mo ment, “but if you tv iIW-o <1 own with me to the foot of this rock, in the shade there,”; and he pnin'ed to a group of lea ning oaks that hung over the declivity, —“I will tell yon a strange and sad suuy of mv owu experience.” It maybe Sfd dial I ■ e tiv ,ass< n ed to this proposal. Bestowing one more blow on the rattlesnake, as if to be certain of his dea k, the old man deceit' ded the rocks with rapidity which would have endangered the nock ofri less prac ticed hunter. After teaching the p ace which he had poured out.the Rattlesnake Hunter commenced bis story inn man ner which confirmed what I had previous lv heard of his education and intellectual Strength. “I was among the earliest settlers in this pail of the cooutiy. I had just fin ished my education at the University of Harvard, when 1 was induced, by the Battering representations nf tome of the earlier pioneers imp the wild lands be yond the Connet cut, to seek my f ■>- tune in the new settlements. My wife” the old man’s cyo glis ened an instant and then a tear crossed bis brown clue!; “ruy wife accompanied me, young aud delicate and beautiful as she was, to-this, wild and rude country. I shall never for give myself for bringing Iter hither; never man,” he continued, “you look like one who could picy me. You shall see the image of the gi*l who followed me to the new country.” And he on bound;as ho.spoke a ribon from his neck, with a sm»U miniature at acked to it. It u-as that nf a beautiful female. She might have been twenty years of age,; but there wi s almost childish expression in her countenance—a softness, a delica cy, and a sweetness of smile, which 1 have >e!dom seen iu the features of those who have tas'ed, oven slightly, of the bitter waters of existence. The old man watched my c< untenanco intently, ns 1 surveyed the image of his eaily love. “She rnlistjtave been very beautiful, I said, as .1 returned the picture. **Beautiful/” he repeated, “you may we'l sav so. But dr is avails nothing 1 have ii fearful storv to telM would to G<d I had not attempted i 1 ; but I will go on My heart has been sketched too often on the rack of memory to suffer any new pang. “We had resided in the new country nearly a year. Our settlement had in creased rapidly, and the comforts and del icacies of life were begin ng to be felt, af ter the weary privations and seveie trials to which we had been subjected. The red men were few and feeble, mid did not molest ns. ; The beasts of the forest and iiioiintains w ere ferocious, but we Buf feted lit le front >hnm. The only imme diate danger to which w e were exposed re sulted from the Rattlesnake which infested our neighboi hood. Three or four of our settlers were bitten by them, end died in terrible agonies. The Indians often told os frightful s'ories of this snake, and al'hough they were genernllv believed, yet for myself, I confess, I was rather amused than convinced by their marvel ous legends. “Cos one of tny hunting excrusinns a broad, on a fine morning—it was just at this date of the yen>—l was accompa nied by mv wife.—,Twain beau*iful m tilting. The sunshine was warm but the atmosphere was peifecly clear: and a fine breeze from the north-west shook the hrielit, gieen leaves which clothed to to profusion the wreathing branches above us. i had left my companion for a short time in pu suit of game; and was climbing a rugged ledge of rocks, interspersed wi-h shtuhs and dwaifish trees, I was Slat'led by a quirk, grating rat Ip. I look ed forward. On the edge of the loosen ed ri ck lay a largo Rattlesnake, coiling himsel', a* if for the deadly spring. He was uithio a lew feet of me; anti i paus ed for ;m instant to surtrey him. i know not whv, bm I stood still, and looked ai the deadly serpent with a strange feeling of curiosity. Suddenly he unwound his jioil r as if relenting from his purpose of hostility ; and rai-ing It is head, he fixed his biiglr, fiery eye direct upon my owe. A ch llitig and ibable sensation, orally different from any thing I had e ver before experienced, followed this movement of the serpent; but I stood still, and gazed steadily and earnestly, for at tli it moment there was a visible change in the reptile. H s form seemed to grow larger, and his colors brighter Hw body moved with a slow, almost imperceptible motion toward me, and a low hum of es music came from him—or, at least, it sounded in my* ear—a strange, sweet melody, faint ns that which melts from the throat of the humming-bird. Then the lints of his body deepened, and changed, end glowed, like the changes of u beaut foI kaleidoscope,—green, pur ple, aud gold, until I lost sight of the ser pent entirely, aud saw only wild and cu riously woven circles of strange colors, quivriiiig around me like an atmosphere of rainbows, I seemed in the centre of a great prism—a wot Id of mysterious co lors ; —aud the tints varied a«d darkened, and lightened op again around me ; and ihe low music went on without ceasing, until-mv brain reeled, and fear, for the first time, canto like a shadow over me. The new sensation gained upon me ra pidly, aud 1 could feel the cold sweat gushing from my brow. I had no certain ly of danger in my mind—no definite ideas us peril—ail was vague and clouded like llte unaccountable terrors nf a dream ami ve> my limbs shook and I fancied I could feel the blood stiffening with cold as it passed along my veins. —I would have given worlds to have been able to tear mvself from the spot—j even at tempted to do *«, but the body obeyed not the impulse of tire mind—not a muscle stirred; and I stood still, as if my feet had grown to the solid rock, with the infernal music of the tempter in my ear, and the baleful colorings of his eiichantme..t be fore me, “Suddenly anew sound came on my ear—ii was a human voice—but seempd strange and awful. Again—again but 1 stirred no*; and then a. whi'e form plun ged before me,, and grasped my arm. The horrible spell was at once broken. The strange colors .passed from before n*V vision. The Rattlesnake was coil ing at my feet, with glowing eyes and up lifted fangs; mid my wife was dinging in lerroi upon me. The next instant the serpent throw himself upon us. My wife was the victim /—The fatal fangs pierced deeply e.tw her hand; aud her seteamof agony, as she staggered backward from me, told me the dreadful truth. ‘•Then it was that a fc#ng of madness came upon me; and when I saw the foul serpent steal rug away from his work of death, reckless of danger, I sprang for ward and crushed him wider my feet, grinding him in pieces upon the ragged rock. The groans us my wife now re called nte to her side, and the horrible reality of her situation. There was a dot k,. lived spot on her hand; and it deep ened into blackness as I* led her away. We were at a considerable distance from any dwelling ; and after wandering for a shoit time, tl»e puiti of her weund became insupportable to my wis erl and she swo* li ed a.way into my arms. Weak aadexhaust ed asT was, . had strength enough re maining to carry her to the nearest rivu let, and bathe her brow in the cook water. -She partially recovered, and sar down u pun the Batik, while I supported her head upon my bosom. Hour after hour passed a wav, and none came near us, —and there —alone, in the great wilderness,, I watched over her. and prayed with her —and she died !-” The old man groaned audibly as he uttered these words; and, r s he clasped his long bony bands over his eyes, I could see the. tears falling thickly til cough his guaot fingers. After a momentary struggle with his feelings, he lifted his head once more, and there was a fierce light in his eye as he sp. ke : “But I have had my lev cage. From hat fatal moment f have felt myself fitted and set apart by the the terrible ordeal ofpfT'Ctiori, to rid >ho place of mv abode of its foulest curse. And 1 have well nigh succeeded. The fascinating demons ate already few and poweiless. —Do not imagine,” said lie, earnestly regarding the somewhat equivocal expies sion of nry countenance,” that I consul er these creatures as serpents only— creeping serpents;—they ant the servants of »he fallen Angel—the immediate min isters of the infernal Gull!” • ••••• Years have passed since my interview with the Rattlesnake Iluntei : the place of his obode has changed —a beautiful village rises near the spot of our confer ence, and the grass of the churclt-yaid is green over the grave of the old Hunter. Bin his story is vet fixed upon my mind, and lime, like enamel, only burns deep er the fr sr strong impression. It comes op before me like a vividly remembered dream, whose featutes a>e too horrible for reality. lire talented editorofthe National Banner has the following article on the attempts to confound the practice of Georgia with the theory of nul lification. It will he seen ttiatthe remarks were written previous to thcah.vnd ament by the mis sionaries oflheir suit iuthe Federal Court against ihe State of Georgia, hut they will riot be deemed the less appropriate. The cases of Sooth Carolina and Geor gia are radically different. The nullifi es in South Carolina haw we know, at tempted to draw art analogy between them, aud those who are disposed to countenance and support S. Carolina in her nullification project from a mere factious spirit erf oppo-idon to Gen Jack son, have joined in the effort to confound the two cases. The d'ffeience between them however is strikingly obvious. Geor gia does not claim a right to declare null and void a law nf the United States, on the ground of its alleged nnconsti’iitional ity. She does n«t claim the right to de clare null and void a treaty sanctioned by the general government.' The collision between Georgia and tire United Slates does not arise from any such preposterous pretention. Georgia, it is true in the exercise of ber undoubted right to fegis late for her own territory, is thought lo have infringed the rights of certain radian tribes, which rights, it is said, are secured to them by treaties with ifo» government of the JJiiited States. Georgia on the one side and tho Indians on the other, give their respective constructions to those treaties. Georgia c mends that she has a right to exercise jurisdiction through out her territerial limits and that she had n-'t gone bpyond the legitimate sphere of state legislation in the regulations—strict ly local and municipal—which she has ex tended tp all the inhabitants of her own soil. The questions connected with this controversy have been settled by her state Cuurts in favor nf Georgia, and the Indians have taken them up, as ihey were advised they had a right to do,to the Supreme Court of tho U. States. The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in such cases is denied by Georgia, and the real point n-'w in issue is the existence of such jurisdiction. The court has after mature deliberation, considered itself entitled to exercise it and has issued a process to en force its decision. That process, it is true, has been treated with contempt by the state authorities, and it remains now for the supreme court to decide what fur ther steps shall be taken, if any, to carry ils decree into execution, A delicate and difficult duty may devolve upon the executive, if the civil power of the court should be ultimately found insufficient to maintain its authority and to enforce ils claim of jurisdiction. Wj have no hesi tation in saying, that we consider it indis pensable to sustain the court, We have the utmost confidence in the faithful discharge of duty by the executive when the res ponsibility propel|y devolves tipon him, in the case of Georgia as well as in that of South Carolina. Wo are fold, that “the nullification of Georgia is more oriiout than that of South Carolina.” Now, we hope we shall not be considered illiberal if ue attribute this strango remark to the blinding influence of that prejudice, which can regard no thing as very odious lo which General Jackson is strongly and decidedly oppo sed, and which views with perfect horror and detestation every thing upon which he is suspected of looking with approba tion or complacency. • ••• ••••• As to nullification , the term is totally ! imapplicuble to Georgia. She has nevar undertaker* lo nullify or render inopera tive within her limits a law of the United States, which is sub alined to in other states. The United States,, through the federal judiciary, have undertaken tw nul lify or render inoperative,.a law of Geoi* 'gia, which she claims the light to enforce ! within her ow n limits, and the question is 'not whether the legislation of the Union shall he controlled by Georgia, but wheth er the municipal regulation of the Union ; can be restrained A controlled by the au thority of the general government. The measures of Georgia,affect those only who reside ia her territorial limits, and whom she claims therefore as her own citizens. Sourh Carolina undertakes to prohibit the collection of the revenue of the gener al government, and thus suikes at the very existence of that government.— Georgia claims a power which cannot ex cept so far as sympathy and kind feeling are concerned, affect the government of the Union or the people ol the other states. South Carolina undeitakes to’ restrain the exercise of a power which es sentially affects the prosperity of the Un ion and directly concerns the people «• all tho states. The morisqres of Georgia, cruel, oppress ive, and onwairantiihle as they may be deemed sue limited in their operation to those who vahmltSfrity reside uubin the territoiiul boundstries of that state and a»e “of municipal concern, j The nullifying doctrines of Sou'h Caro lina and their practical operation, extend their iofiuence to the remotest extremity of the Ration, and will unless checked &. put down, sever the Union Sc destroy Hte glory and happiness of this great confederated republic. Correspondence of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Mr. Wilkins’ theory of the Constitu thru iu reference to this subject (Nullifi cation) was advanced in an unpretending manner, but to my apprehension, it is as dear and as boau’iful as uncleuded noon day. Without piesenting it in full, I wHI give you aome idea of ii.-j-Tho Con stitution was framed by the people, but adopted by the States severally. The States as communities which became par ties to the Constitution,surrendered a por tion of their sovereignty, for the security of the residue. The powers thussurren~ dered, are few, but supreme- This su premacy is oecessary for the general wel fare, because it consists in the use of pww er* which could nut be exerted by theStatos. severally. The object of the Constitu tion was to make the Union more perfect, and one of the chief defects of the old confederation was the want of a supreme power to bear immediately on the people of the States. The Genersl Government forms a part of the government of each State, supplying every deficiency in State power. Has the General Govern ment any attribute of sovereignty ? If so, it must bear immediately upon the people of each'State. There can beno obedience to the laws unless their obligation be di rectly on tho people. If the obligation was npon tlte States, they could wrap themselves up in their reserved rights, and resist and overthrow all national legisla tion. The peopla owe allegiance both to the Union and to the States whereof they are citizens. The people retain their sovereignty, in reference to the United States, as well as to their respec tive States ; for here % as well as in their Slate Legislatures, the people act by their representatives. Ifere, as well as in the State Legislatures, the people make the laws, aud the laws govern the people. The States, too, are secure in thoir rights, for the Constitution is one of powers granted for the General good ; but these powers cannot b# retracted at pleasure, for the welfare of the whole Uiiiou is not to be hazarded togiatify thetaprice of one State. Calhoun’s theory, per contra. Poindex ter and Mr. Mangum will reply to ‘Mr. Wdkins. \lr Frelinghuysnn will follow on the other side, and perhaps others. Mr Calhoun will then speak at length in support of his views, and Mr Webster will clese in support es the bill. This is the proposed order of the debate, but a thou sand cbcumstances may occur lo change it. Mr Rive ao! Virginia, it is said, wilt take part against the bill. Some fear is entertained for Mr Calhoun’* wits unless he can better compose himself. If Mr Wilkins thus moves him, Mr Webster will drive him stark mad; every body remarks his haggard countenance, aud wild, rest less e%e» [fromthe Portland Courier ] Washington Citv. Jan. 17. To the Edit or of the Portland Courier in rhe Mariner’s Church building se, cond Sto»y, eastern end, Fure-sil-eet away down east in the State of Maine, My kind and dear old friend. The. Presidents Message to Congress makes cracking work here. Mr Calhoun shows his teeth like a lion. Mr. McDi f&e is cool «S a cowcumber, though they say he is got h terrible tempest inside <>f him, that lie'll let out before long, /'..r my pari, I think the president’s message is about right. I was setting with the Pres idem in the east room last nigh', chat ting about one thing and another, and the President, says he, Major Downing, have you read my message that I sent to Con greess to day. I told him I hadn't. Well, says he, I should like to have you read it, and give me ynur opinion upon it Se be handed it to me, and I sot down and read it through. And when I got through, says I, Gen eral, I’ll tell you jest what I think us this hero business. When I was a youngster some of us Downingviile boys used to go down to Sebagnpond every spring, aud hire out a month or two rafting logs a cross the pend. And one lime I and cousin Ephraim, and Joel’ and Bill John son, and two or three more of us, had each a whopping great log to eatry across, the pond. It was rather a windy day Sc tlte waves kept the lugs bobbing up and down pie l tv considerable bad, so we a greed to bring them along side and side and lash ’em together and drive some thole-pins in the outer most log, end row ’em over together—-we went along two or three miles pretty well. But by and by Bill Juhnsoß begun to complain. He was always an uneasy harem scarem sort of a chap. Always thought every body else had easier time than he had, and when he was a boy always used to be cum plaining that the other boys had more batter than he had. Weil, Bill was row ing on the leward side, and he begun to fret and said his side went the hardest and he would’nt give us any peace till one of us changed sides With him v Well Bill had’nt rowed but a little ways on the windward side, before he began to fret again, and declared that' side went harder then Collier, and he wopld’nl much- to row on that side any longer. We fold him he had his choice and he should’nt keep changing so. But he only fretted the more and began te get mad. At last he declared that if we did’m change with him in fiive minutes he'd cut the lashing and take his log and paddle off alone—And before we had hardfo time to turn round, he declared ihi t five minu'es were out, and up hatch et and cut the lashing*, and away went bill on Lis own log bobbing and rolling a boot and dancing like a monkey to liy to keep on the upper side. The rest of us scrabbled to as well ns we could, & fastened uur logs together again though we had a tough match for it, the wind blew so ha and. Bill had’nt gone but a lit. tie ways before his log begun to ro I more and by and by in he went splash, head and ears. He came up puffing and blow ing, and got hold of the log and tried to climb op on to it, but the m-re he tried the more the log rolled; and finding it would be gone goose with him pretty sown if he staid there, he began to sing out like a loon for us to come and take him We nsked him which side he would ruw' if we took his log into the raft again. O says Bill, I’ll row either side or both sides, if you want me to, if you will only come and help me, befoie I sink. But said the president, I hope you did*nt help the foolish rascal out till he had got a pretty good snaking. Hu got soaked enough before we got to him, says I, for he was jest ready to sink tor the last time and our logs come pretty near getting scattered, and if they had we should all gone to th« bottom toge her. And now General, this is jest what I think, if you let South Carolina cut the lashings, you’ll see such a log rolling in the count y, as you never see yet. The old Gineral started up and marched across the floor like a boy. Says he, Major Donning, she shunt cut the lashings while my name is Andrew Jackson. Tell Sargant Joel to to have his company sleep on their arms every B : ght. I told him they should be ready at a moment’s warning, i I wish you would jest give cousin E phraim up to Augusta, a jog tw know why he dont write to me and let me know how the Legislature is getting along.
