INFANCY.
[by processor jess baogeseh.}
there was a time, qnd 1 recall it well.
When my whole frame was but an ell in height;
Qh ! when 1 think of that, my warm tears swell,
And therefore iu the memory 1 delight,
t sported in tny mother's kind embraces,
And climb'd my grandsire’s venerable knee;
rrknown were care, and rage, and sorgfiw’s
traces;
To me the world was blest as bleat Coaid be.
Those days were matchless—-but they have per
ish’d
And life is thorny now, and dim, and flat;
Yet rests their memory—deeply—fondly cher
ish’d,
Godl in thy mercy take not—take not tlutt.
THE MIDNIGHT MAIL.
By A. F. Uould. . .
'Tis miiloight—all is peace profound !
But lo ! upon the murmuring ground,
The lonely, swelling hurrying sound
Os distant wheels is heard !
They coine! they pause a moment —when,
Their charge resigned, they start, and then
Are gone, and all is hushed again
As not a fear had stirred
Hast thou a parent farawny
A beauteous child, to he thy stay
lu life’s decline—ror sisters, they
VVho shared thine infant glee T
K brother on a foreign shore ?
Is he whose breast* thy token bore,
Or are thy treasures wandering o’er
A wide tumultuous sea f
J.f aught like these, then thou must feel
The rattling of that reckless wheel,
That brings the bright or boding seal,
On every tiemhfing thread,
That strings thy heart, till morn appears
To crown thy hopes, or end thy fears—*
To light thy smile, or draw thy tears,
As line on line is read.
'Feihaps tliy treasure’* in the deep—
Thy lover in a dreamless sleep—
brother where thou canst not weep.
Upon his distant grave!
Thy parent’s hoary head no morn
May shed a silver lusts y o’er
His children grouped—nor death restore
Thy son ftoin out the wave?
Thy prattler's tongue, perhaps is stilled—
Thy sister’s lip is pale and chilled—
Thy blooming bride, perchance, has tilled
Her corner of the tomb;
'May be, the home where all thy sweet
And tender recollections meet,
■Has shewn its flaming winding sheet.
In midnight’s awful gloom !
And while alternate o’er my soul
Those cold, or burning wheels wilt roll
Their light or shade, control.
Till morn shall tiring relief;.
Father in heaven, what’er may be
The cup which thou bast seot for ine.
-1 know ’ tis good prepared by thee,
Though filled with joy or grief!
From the Cincinnati Chronicle.
THE HOOSHEROONS.
The good citizens of our young sister. India’
tui, ace pretty generally known throughout the
’West by the singul.tr appellative of Hooshers’-
—The foliowing rhymes, from a young H>os
heroou, conveys a very graphical picture
of Hoosher life on the irontiers of Indiana. In
- our perambulation, through that State, we have
• often partaken the welcome hospitality of a -‘buck
■eye ca' in,” while our gallant steed stood by the
-‘'‘saplin” and the sugar trough” for the night.
Suppose, In riding through the West*
A stranger found a “Hoosher's nest,”
In other words, a buck eye nbiu.
Just big enough to hold Quee i Mab in)
Its situation low hut airy,
Was on the borders of a prairie;
And fearing he might be benighted,
He hailed the house and then alighted,
The “Hnnsher" met him at the door,
Their sanations soon were o’er ;
He took the stranger’s horse aside,
And IO a steady S.ipiii.g ied—
Then haying stripped t ie saddle off,
He fed hint in a sug n trough
The stranger stooped to enter in—
The entrance closing with a pin—
And manifested strong desire
To seat him by the log heap fire,
Where half a dosen “Hooshereons,”
With mush and milk, tin cups and spoons—
White heads, bare feet <nd dirty faces,
Seemed much inclined to keep their placet;
But madam, anxious to display
Her rough and undisputed away.
Her offspring to the'ladder led,
J And cuffed ilje youngsters up to bed.
Invited shortly, to partake
Os veoison, milk and johnnv cake,
The stranger made a hearty meal,
And glances round the room would steal,
One side saw lined with divtrs garments,
The other spread with skins of “varments,”
Dried pumpkins overhead were strung,l
Where venison hams ia plenty hung;
Two t ides placed above the door,
’Three dogs lay stretched upon the floor—
lu short, the domicil was rife
With specimens of “Hoosher” life
The Host, who centred his aflVctious
On game, and range, and quarter sections.
Discoursed bis weary guest for hours,
Till Somnus’ ever potent powers,
Os es be* est ’em.
No matter how the story ended—
The application ( intended, \
Is from the famous Scottish poet,
Who seemed to feel as well at known it,
That “boudly chiels and clever biggies,
Are bted in sic a way as this is.”
fl'ki “ iXatchtWe fen joyed the j
h’.gli gnification, yetlerday, of being one
of a numerous party of bulb sexes, who
paid a visit to this noble and finished spe
cimen of American Naval Architecture.
The company were received on hoard,
by Capt, Zankinger and his officers,
with (hose kind attentions and elegant
courtesies, which have coiitriuuted to ren
der their ship (in itsell a source of uncom
non attraction) so-great a favorite with
our community, and placed them so high
in the esteem and even the affectiots ol
a large portion of our fellow„citiz«ns.—
The whole ship was thrown open for
inspection; and while an air of elegance
and comfort pervaded its more finished
parts, its general neatness and perfect
cleanliness were such, as might well have
inspiied the euvy of the most ctireful and
fastidious house-wife. Refreshments ol
various kinds were bountifully served;
and music and dancing contributed large
ly to the gaiety and enjoyment of the oc
casion. It afforded us much pleasure to
observe individuals of bo’h parties ming
ling, with perfect harmony, in the fes
tive scene, and sharing the equal hospi
tality of their hosts.
At 12 o’clock, meridian, Commodore
Elliott arrived on hoard to take leave
of the officers and crew (the Natchez
having received sailing orders,) and was
received with a Federal Salute, which
was answered by the U. S. schooner E%*
perimenty and the Revenue Cutter G?q(-
tatin, anchored in the vicin : ,iv,
broad penant of the Commodore was
then transferred f-; jm the NaLhex to the
?;,d * shortly afier he bude
ti, e ~(fl cers an d crew of the
.oilier, on his departure from which, the
yards were manned by the sailors, who
gave thiee hearty cheers as a pariingioken
of respect to their gallant commander.
We regret to say that our visit to the
Natchez is likely io prove a farewell one,
as she will drop down to the Roads this
morning, and lo morrow se ; sail tor Nor
folk. Gallant ship! we hid you God
speed wherever you move on the waters
es the mighty deep—may you ever be
blessed with auspicious gales, and long
continue to bear aloft, in piide and in
triumph,the Star Spangled of your united
country. Charleston Courier ,27 inst.
Believing-thnt tlto isolated object ol
the approbating State Couveution was
well uudet stood bv all, we have I'orebi.rne
to jiive our speculations upon iu The ob
ject to which its deliberations are confin
ed ; under a pi escribed oath of each mem
her; is, a reduction of the present repre
sentatives m ilie legislature. We do nor
wish to see the influence us this District
diminished; for, if property and the pay
meat of taxes are to be among ihe basses
ol repi'esentalton,. the three counties; af
least Chatham, Bryan and Liberty, will
be entitled to as strong a delegation, ms a
nv other three in the State. Bu , with
the late accession Os territory, every one
most admit, that the member's, that would
upon the present plan be deputed, would
swell the Legislature to a bulk entirely to<»
unwieldy for the dispatch of business, .as
well as too expensive for that economy,
which should ever he obsei ved it) the ex
peoditure ol the public money. It would
be much better—we think—to expend
the money heretofore paid lonadcoa&u
merefruges legislators, in Works of inter'
nal Improvement, than thus to waste i 1
upon supernumerary deputies.
We wish, however, that ihe powers of
the C onyentiou had been left—as they
always politically ought t<> be—unlimited
as lu all objects and purposes of reforma
tion. Oar present Constitution bas se
veral delects which require the amelior
ating hand of a Convention. Among
the principal, are the qualified-ion as to
property,to be elected u Senator ,«r Rep
resentative, and the ommpotetv authority
given to the Superior Courts. There
should be a Court of Errors and appeals
to revise and correct the sectional judi
cial opinions and discrepancies, which
prevail in the different Districts upon tin
most interesting artd important principles,
ag they relate to life, liberty and proper
ty. Another stigma upon republican in.
stituions ought robe constitutionally and
forever annihilated, and that Is imprison
meni for debt. It is a paradox, associa
ted as it is, among the principles of self
government, and the respect due to (In
dignity of a citizen. To imprison hint
on a criminal accusation, is all right e
oough—but, to place debt and a crime
upon the same footing, as to the power
of imprisonment appears to our humble
capacities, to destroy all the analogies Sf
proprieties of republican goverumuu .

General Lafayette, in an able Speech
on the Election Law of France, which he
delivered in thfe Chamber of Depuiieioij
the 15th of January last, made this remark
able « bs*rVAfinn :—“ I shad not sneak
of tbfe Government of the United States;
although I am one of those who pay it the
just tribute of calling it th r pattern Gov
ernment. .But we are now told that what
I should call republican institutions suit
only a vast continent , bounded on one
side dy the ocean, and on the other by
widely extended forests. Formerly, how
ever, it was said that they suited only for
an island —they are suited to every coun
try where the citizeos aio iotell gent and
wish to be free.”
From the Fayetteville Observer, Marche 19.
We are enabled to present our readers
to-day with about two-thirds of Mr. Cal
'ho tin’s Speech in the Senile on the En
forcing Bill. We shall give the remain
der iu our next.
We have read this speech with some
atten ion, and although it may appear
presumptuous iu us, to offer any return ks
on a speech coming from a man of such
acknowledged talents, except in blind ad
miration and praise of its merits ; yet we
have no hesitation in saying, that in our
opinion, much of his argument is extreme
ly lame and porile. This, however, is
but an illustration to what shifts men
of acknowledged talents will resort,
when all solid argument fails them, lo
support a favorite doctrine, to which they
have once become pledged. It appears
to us that Mr. C’s arguments are not so
much to show what the provisions of the
Federal Constitution are, as what in his
opinion they ought to be j and although
he has not said so iu so many words, yet
we infer from his reasoning that were it
left to him to frame a Constitution of
Government for a number of independ
ens Sta'es, one of its provisions would'be,
that the minority should rule the majori
ty : although lie admits in the course of
his argument, that such a provision or
check, agaiust ihe encroachments of povv
e« on the part of ihe majority, would in
practice, be unavailing ; nur should.it be
thought strange, that Mr. Calhoun should
have advanced this and ctrine, f».r it is ad.
vanciug n<» more in theory than South
Carolina by her Ordinance, has adopted
in practice and we have no dnubt-this is
tho general do tiine held by the Nulli
fiers of South-Carolinn, although they
paid but little respect to the wi'l of the
minority in their own State, in requiring
of ihein the test oath—a more arbitrary
exercise of,power than which, on iliepart
of the majority, is not to bu found in
history.
Mr. Calhoun has endeavored to illus
trate his ideas of a government, secur
ing the rights of the minority, by refer
ing to ancient govemmen s, aud particu
larly 'he States of Greece—but here we
iliink he has entirely failed. The States
of Greece, lie says, ‘were united in one
common but loose baud;’ this is true, for
;he Stales of Greece never were united
by any thing more than a league, which
each State, considering itself perfectly
sovereign and independent, broke when
ever interest or inclination prompted lipi*
to do so ; but the absurdity and inefficien
cy of such a league is demonstrated by
the fact, that when they were united and
held together by a sense of common dan
ger, they were able to repel the gigantic
power of Persia, as the battles of Mara
thon, Platea and Salamis are illustrious
examples: but the States of Gregjco-iwere
as often engaged in wars among them
selves, as they were united com .
tnon enemy—and lo mis may attributed
their final downfall. Had they beorvuni
ted under one efficient government, they
might have preserved their independence
and liberty ; but iu consequence of their
internal dissention and wars, they ex
hausted their own strength, and weie
conquered by the Romans by piece-meals,
until they a' lan became a Roman pro
vince
Such is the kind of league or govern 9
meni to which ihe South-Carolina doc
fine would reduce be Federal Govern
merit j oach State being entirely sovereign
and independent, could secede at pleasuie
from '.lie Union, allowing no authority
in tho General Government to hold them
together. Thus we should in all proba
bility, eventually be divided into as many
distinct governments as there are States ;
and if wars did not spring np among the
several States, as was the case in an
cient Greece, we should fall by piece
meal, an easy prey to some foieigrt' des
pot.

the property of J. Merrill, the latter of

had claims on 'he good graces of Miss

endeavouring to establish their superior

whereupon a challenge passed from Tom,
presenting at (he same time two pistols,
offering to Peter his choice, which the
latter insultingly iefused. He was, how

of Tom's pistol, which passed sufficiently
