PADDY’S metamorphosis.
BY T. MOORE, ESQ-.
About fifty years since, in the davs of our daddies.
That plan was commenced which the wise now applaud,
Os shipping off Ireland s most turbulent Paddies.
As good raw material for settlers abroad.
Some West India isl End whose name I forgot,
Was the region then chosen for this scheme so romantic,
And such the success the first colony met,
That a second, soon after set sail o’er th’ Atlnn ic.
Behold them now safe at the long looked-for shore,
Sailing io between banks hat the Shannon might greet.
And thinking of friends, whom but two years before.
They had sorrow ed to loose, but would soon again meet.
And hark from the shore, a glad welcome there came—
‘•An eh Paddy from Cork.ia it you, my sweet boy ?”
While Pat stood astonished to hear his own uame
Thus hailed by a black , who capered fbr joy!
Can it possibly be?—half amazement,—half doubt.
Pat listened agaiu,—rubs bis eyes au 1 looks steady ;
Then heaves a deep sigh, and in horror yells out
“Father’s blood! ouly think, black uidcurly already!”
’Deceived by that well-mimick’d brogue in his cars,
Pat read his own doom in those wool-headed figures,
And thought,- what a climate, in less then two years,
To turn a whole cargo of Pats into niggars!
MOR ?L.
’ Ti< thus,—VuLalaa, by a marvel more true
Than is tola n£his rival of Ovid’s best stories; —
Your Whigs, when in office a short year or two,
By a Zu.ua nature, all turn into Tories.
And thus when I hear them “strong measufbs” advise.
Ere the seats that they sit on have time to get steady,
I say, while I listen with tears in my eyes,
“ Father’s blood! only think, black and curly already!’’
COPY OF A LETTER*
From a Soldier in America to his wife in Eng
•land, written a short time ofter the battle of Bun
ker Hill -
Mv Dearest Lve.
Before these lines reach you, grim death
will have swept me off the stage «»1 lile,
and filthy reptiles will be feeding on that
orm once so dear to thee.No mure shall
thou repose in these arms; no more shall
hese eyes, now swiming in_the shades of
death, behold thy lovely person, or guze
with delight on tnee ormy dear infants.—
Yesterday we had a bloody and obstinate
fight, in which we had great numbers kill
ed and wounded. I received one ball in
my groin, another in my breast. I am
now so weak with the loss of blood, that
1 can hardly write these few lines as the
last ttibute of my unchanging love to thee.
The surgeons inform me that thiee hours
will be the utmost 1 can survive. Alas!
too true was the dire presage which
brooded io my mind, that we should never
rtteot again on this side eternity. On our
passage from England to America, I gave
myself up to reading the Bible, it being
the only book I was prossess.<>r of. The
Almighty parent of mankind, was pleas
ed to draw my heart to him, by the sweet
attractions of his grace, and at the same
time to enlighten my mind. There is in
the regiment a corporal who is a metho
dise I bad no knowledge of him, till one
night when I had bee.n earnest in prayer
to G»d r to guide me in the way of peace.
During my sleep, I dreamt of this same
man, and was directed to him by name, j
which was Sanyoel Pierce. The dteam 1
made so strong an impression on my mind ,
that next morning, 1 inquired if theie was j
such a person in *ihe regiment and was
greatly astonished to find him. 1 told
him my dreatn, wirh which he was much
pleased, we soon contracted a strong
friendship and he was pleased to explain
rome-Uie amazing 1 >ve of God. in giv
ing his son Jesus Christ to bleed and die
for mankind; he unfolded to me the mys
teries of salvation,- the nature of the new
birth and the great necessity of holiness
of heart and life; in short he became my
spiritual father, and to him under God, 1
owe all the good 1 am acq tainted w'nh.—-
My dear lave. T wish thee to bec-une
acquainted with this bles ed way of life.
—Soon after we landed, God was pleased
to speak peace to my soul; Oh! the bliss,
the unutterable joy that I felt through the
Mood of the lamb, how I longed to tell
the whole world what Jesus had dune f<r
me! But how do I long, yea burn t «, have
Xhee, my dear love, to taste and know the
loye of God in Christ Jesus? I would
have given the world to have been with
thee, to have informed thee of the pearl
of great price. My dear love, as we shall
never meet more in this vale of tears, let
me improve this last, this dying obligation
upon thee; and if I was ever dear to thee,
let me intreat thee eot to neglect the last
advice of thy departing husband; which
is, that thou mayest give thyself up to
God, read the Bible and good books, and
frequent the preaching of ihe people call
ed Methodists, and the Lord will guide
tbee in this way—And oh, endeavour to
bring up the dear little ones in the fear
pf God. Oh, never fix thine heart upon
the vain us substantial things of this world.
Heaven and the love of God are the
only things that demand our hearts, or are
vror’hy of engrossing them. Thou art yet
young, nor can I wish thee not to enter
again into the marriage sta'e when I am
cold and iu the dust. But let me give
thee some advice: marry with no one how
ever handsome or rich he may bo, unless
he fears or loves God. That is the onk
thing needful. During the 4 years we liv
ed together, many things occurred which
I forbear mentioning; but as / have ob
tained pardon of God, my awful Judge,
for all I have dune, I most humbly beg of
thee, th it thou wilt parduo me, wherein
soever I have offended thee, and I most
.heartily acquit thee of any thing thou hast
d»ne to disoblige me.—l have been a
worthless husband in thee, &. an dadtt.rful
son io my parents, and a vile rebel against
my God. O God, be merciful to me a
sinner! I die in peace with all the world.
I die in a Full assurance of eternal glory;
A few moments and my soul shall bo
ranged amongst the disembodied spirits
in th'j general assembly of the Chui ch of
th® first born, who are written in heaven.
Oh mv love! ! beg of thee, I beaeec.
thee, I charge thee to meet me in the
realms of glory! Oh, fly to the arms of the
once bleeding Jesus; Oh, cry to him day
and night, and he will hear, and bless
thee!
And you, my dear infants, though you
have not ihe perfect knowledge of your
worthless father, I beg you would pt ay to
meet me in the realms of bliss. The God
who blessed Jacob and Joseph will bless
you. Seek him, and he will be found of
you; call upon him, and he will hear and
bless you. What is the world but sin
and sorrow. The rich oppressed with
their wealth, ihe poor are groaning for
the want of that which the others are bur
dened with: the men of power are afflict
ed with holding the reins, and guiding
the helm; the governed are oppressed
with real of imaginary evils. The life of
a soldier is blood and cruelty; that .of a
sailor dangers and death; a city life is full
of confusion and strife; a country lite of
loaded with foil and labor. But ihe great
est is all evils flows from our own sinful
nature: wherever wo are, we may be hap
py; we carry the key of bliss in our own
breas'. The world itself never yet made
any happy'. God alone is the bliss of a
reasonable soul, and he is every where
pi esent, and we have every where fiee
access to him. Learn then, my dear chil
dren, to seek for peroianent happiness in
God through a cracified Redeemer.
My dear love, should the spirits of the
departed have any knowledge of things
below, and at the same time any inter
course with them, though unsee) how
shall I rejoice to be thy guardian angel,
to attend tbee, and smile io see tbee com
b-it sin, conquer the world and subdue the
flpsh; but if no', how shall I smile lo
meet thee on the bright frontiers of Hea
ven; these hands shall weave for thee,
with joy, thy triumphant crown. I first
will hail thee to thy native mansions. 1
firs! will guide thy conquering feet to the
celestial city, and introduce thee to the
jubilant throng who tread the streets of
the new Jerusalem. I first will lead thee
to 'lie sacred throne of God, where we
will together bow, transported at the sub
lime seat of the even adored Jesus. Then,
then we will strike our melodious harps
of gold io the most exalted strains of har
mony and love. Then shall our love be
consumma ed, refined and eternalized’
The world recedes, it disappears;
Heaven opens on my eyes, my oars
With sounds seraphic ring;
Lend, lend your wings, 1 mount, I
O grave, wkerg is thy victory
O death, where is thy sting?
Dear l<ivo, more would I s-.y, bat life
ebbs ou apace; my’senses cease to perform
their < ffice. Bi ight angels stand around the
gl >Fy turf on which I lie, ready to escort
me to tho arms of mv Jesus. Bending
saints reveal my shining crown, and beck
on me away. Yei, me-thioks mv Jesus
bids me come. Adieu! Adieu dear love.

SPITFIRE’S ADVENTURE.
Some dozen or fifteen years since,when
horse-racing and trotting-mat<hes were
not prohibited in Massachusetts, I owned
a little Narragansett mare,'hat knew more
than my wife aod son Tom together. She
had the spirits of thunder and lightning,
but no beauty to speak of. When I first
bought her, topes wouldn’t hold her, nor
fence® keep her withiu bounds. 1 tried
gentle usage and good feeding, but she
grew ferocious and poor. I tried flogging
and striving, but she remained amiable &.
gained flesh. In short,she was one of the
devel’s beauties, and 1 let her have her
own way: and she soon deserved greater
honor than a Roman Consulship. About
ihe liine the mare and I came to a good
understanding, there «’as lo be a purse
race on the Roxbury course,A I thought
I might just as well make a few dollars
as not. So I put Spitfire into the old
horse-cait, threw m a few notions, and
such other things as were necessary, and
started for Boston. J sold out right well
and with a pocket book sufficiently lined
went on the race-ground.
Spitfire knew well enough what was
going on, s » she shammed lame,and look
as though she didn’t know oa s from
edbng hay.
“Gentlemen,” says I, giving Spitfire a
cut to get her into a trot, “you’ve had
some good running here.’
Not a word was said in reply, but they
all looked at my little nag, as who would
say, * old daddy, you’ve no business
here.’
Says I, “you need’t turn up your nos
es at Dobbin. She can run like every
thing, 1 tell ye, If you want to lay a small
sum, I’<n ready foi you.’
“ Wo dont.put our blood horses against
such a thing as that for nothing. If you
have a hundred dollars to I .se, down with
it, or else get out of the way.”
“Hundred dollars,” cried I, “that’s a
great deal of money. But I’ve gm a
little of my own, and some that belongs to
one of my neighbors, so I dout care if I
try.”
Seeing that I was in earnest, they took
out iho money; l.did.the same, and it was
deposited with ihe empires.
“Who is to ride your skeleton?” said
one buck with a sneer. .
“I guess I shall ride her.myself. I does
all dobbin’s mounting.’
So I drove a little one side; untackled
Spitfire; took off a heavy pair of shoes
<hat 1 had fitted for the occasion; opened
a box in the horse cart and put an elegant
saddle and bridle on Spitfire; pulled off
my frock and trpwsers, and appeared on
the ground- ia a pair of buckskin tights &.
a jockey-cap and jacket.
“GfHlilcfDeo,” said I,speaking in a dis-
fereni tone, “1 raihel think I Affi ready
for vou now.’
They looked a little astonished, but
there - Was no alternative, and after some
hemming and hawing, we started. The
race was for one heat ul.a mile only. The
horse that I rati against, was a noble
looking creature; long neck, slender legs,
well opened nostrils, and an eye like an
antelope, but he was no match fur Spitfire.
I gave her the reins—perfectly cofttetn to
risk the hundred dollars on her manage
ment. She ran forty or fifty rods just to
try the speed of her antagonist, and then
checked herself; and suffeied the horse to
come up and go a few rods past—then
thinking, apparently, that she had no
time for further ttifling, off she started, ».$•
soon passed the horse, coming in thirty
yards ahead.
Pocketing the two hundred dollars ve
ry coolly, ] matched up to my gentlemen
jockies—“one word of advice from a man
who is from as far down east* as the best
of you— Never bet hereafter unless you
know your man.”
As I walked Spitfire off the ground, 1
heard one of my friends mutter, ‘A dead
bite.’
W. STAPLES.
Boston, April 15, 1833. New York
A MAN OF FAMILY.
A Mr John C. Nazru, instructor of
biblical'eloquence, advertises in, a New
Yor£ paper he will attend to the duties
of bis profession al the rate of two thou
.sand dollars per annum, Abe pupil in ev
ery case to pay the whole year’s tuition
in advance. This project for raising the
’• ind on a great scale, will strike the rea
der as odd and original— what will he
think of the publication of Ihe . names of
the lecturer’s possible relations as a cer
tificate of his biblical attainments! Here
is the catalogue;
“Mr. Nazro deems it proper to state,
that he is of the family of General War
rcn.of Bunker Hili, Governor. Belcher,
under the Crown, and
Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, of the Royal
British Navi; further, that the comjeix
ions of bis family are, he believes, Com
modore Rogers, Commodore, Cbauncy,
Commodore Bainbridge, the Rev. Dr;
Nott, of Union College, Rev. Dr. Ely,
of Philadelphia, Col. Trask, of Spring
field,Governor Poindexter of South Car
olina, General Harrison of the North
Western Army,4' the Knickerbockers of
the State of New York.”
Wliv we must be the celebrated child
tof thirty six fathers; or else the learned
I lecturer has sprung a huge mine of genea
logy v. Inch has brought down this miscel
laneous cataract of relations upon his
head. General Warren of Bunkerhill,
Gov. Poindexter, Dr. Nolt, and the
Knickerbockers of New Y. This beats
the great Princess Rus t Fasti and the
twelve Holy Roman Emperors, all hol
low.
IN TEMPE RANCE.
A late number of the Transylvania
Journal of Medicine, is en'irely up with
“Thoughts on Pathology, Prevention &
Treatment ofln'emperance—by Charles
Caldwell, M. D.” By intemperance the
author includes all excess, and ho does
not consider the excessive use of in
toxicating liquors by any means the most
destructive -species. Incontinence or
the inordinate indulgence of anj one of
the passions, is more pernicious, nt his
theory, to the individual, and to society
than dram drinking. Gluttony, too, tbe
nasty vice, as Cabbett calls ii, ilie D .ctor
thinks, works more mischief than drunk
eness. So thought old Burton, who tells
us it kills more than the sword. An io
satible paunch says he, is the fountain of
all of the body and miod.
Hence, gout and stone afflict the human race,
Hence, lazy jaundice, with her saffron face-
Palzy, with shaking head and tottering knees,
And bloated dropsy, staunch sot’s disease.
And all this while, the birds and beasts
are provokingly gormandizing,without the
fear of Halsted, oi the smallest necessity
Peptic Precepts.

AMERICAN NAPKIN.
Messrs. Editors .• Having occasion to
call in the counting room of Nahauiel F.
Williams, Esq, on business a few days
since, my attention was drawn to some
pieces of American Nankin, made from
cotton cultivated on the estate of Mr.
Forsyth, of Georgia. In appearance this
fabric may be advantageously compared
with that from China, whilst it possesses
the highly important advantage over ihe
latter, of retaining its colour, or rather of
becoming darker by use. This fact is
illustrated by specimens produced which
had been in wear one and two years, and
which in colour surpassed for beautv nod
clearness, that which had never been
washed. There is no dye used in pre
paring this valuable manufacture, the na
tural colour of the cotton being a rich
brownish Nankin, is only changed for the
better by the process of washing. Feel
ing much gratification as an American, at
this evidence of the advancement in our
manufacture, and being convinced that
whilst we indulge national feeling, we
would consult economy by the introduc
tion of this article into common nse for
summer clothing. I have been induced to
avail myself of your useful paper by call
ing the attention of the public to the sub
ject. Fur children in particular the A
merican Nankin is desirable, its colour
being sufficiently dark to hide trivial soil
ing, and not yielding to the frequent wash -
ings to which the clothing of youth is ex
posed. There is another advantage which
ought not to be overlooked ; which is,
that the article referred to is sufficiently
stout and close in texture to f<»rm a safe
guard against sudden attenuations of heat
and cold, and in case the wearer should
get wet, does not convey to the skin the
chilling'sensation imparted by linen goods.
My only motive for publishing this being
for the public's benefit, I feel that in it j
nave sufficient apology for troubling you.
HOMESPUN.
froift ffct Federal Union, May 9,
REDUCTION CONVENTION.
This body convened on Monday last,
Major Jateob Wood, of M’lntosh, was
called to rhe chair, the duties of which he
discharged With assiduity, ability and im
partiality, during a protracted sitting.
After ihe preliminaries of organizing
and receiving the oaih of office, which
consumed the greater part of the day, the
Convention proceeded, in the evening, to
the election of a President. The Hon.
James M. Wayne, of Chatham, one of
our representatives in Congress, and the
Hon. William H. Crawford, of Ogle
thorpe, were the candidates.
The ballot stood thus :
James M. Wayne, 151
William fl. Crawford, 88
Scattering, 9
By which it appears that Judge Wayne
obtained a majority of 55 of the whole
Convention, and a clear majority of 63
over Judge Crawford, his opponent.
Wayne has been burnt in effigy by a
few malcontents, he has been presented
by Grand Juries io a few counties, aod
by a few has been requested lo resign his
seat in Congress. Tne nullifiers have at
tempted to injure bis reputation abroad
by such reprehensible means as these,
when the vast body of the people- of Geor
gia have held him in ihe highest estima
'ion, as was known to us, and is now
proven by the voice of the delegated sov
ereignty of the whole people of Georgia.
, Such a demonstration of public opinion at
this time must have been, as J udge Wayne
remarked in his inaugural address, pecu
liarly gratifying to his feelings. It was
peculiarly so to the feelings of the Union
party, whose candidate he was.
Ii has been the habit of the nullifiers to
make as large a show as possible upon a
very small capital. Their stock is al
ways hung out at the door, to make a
show, <fc induce strangers to be.ieve them
large and extensive dealers. Our neigh
bor, the tlccordcr, seems to understand
admirably woll this mockery of business.
—Those who are acquainted with the in
ner apartments know well the deception.
In that print of the 24 h April, it remarks
—“The last Federal Union, speaksof the
Union party being in the majority; and
congratulates the country upon the event.”
We presume the Recorder begins to think
there was some weight in our opinion, &
that our congratulations were not in vain,
though it affects not to know who consti
tute ihe Union party of Georgia. The
Conven'ion however has given the Re
corder a lesson, that we presume it will
recollect. And if it were not an odious
task to lecture intractable scholars, we
should advise that Paper, when it again
attempts to represent the state of things
at home, to give facts as they exist. If
this is too painful, why let it observe a
dignified silence.—This may give the
■ Recorder a reputation out of the Sta'e,
that may add weight to its statements. It
is well enough known at home.

7/is Excellency Wilson Lumpkin.
Sir—Enclosed you will receive a slate,
meat of the affairs of this Institution,
which would have been forwarded on the
first of this month in conformity with’the
act of the last Legislature, but for my in
disposition: I was confined with inflama
tory fever a few days before the first,since
which time, ’til within the last three days,
I have been entirely unable to attend to
any business.
In ihe report you will see there is a
considerable amount running on notes,
but tinder a rnle of Bank, they are all
subject to a reduction of 10 per cent,
every sixty days, and many of them, and
those of the largest size, subject (under a
special understanding) to be extinguished
within a short pet iod.
It will also be observed that upwards
of $6,000, lies under proiest, all of which
is perfectly safe, and most of the amount
settled since the date of this report. With
great respect,
Your most obedient

Very late from New-York.
The steam packet David Brown, Capt. Pen*
noyer, arrived at this port at 6 o’clock yester
day morning, having sailed from New-York on
Saturday afternoon last, at 3 o’clock. The D. B.
carded out to New-York, and in returning,
brought to Charleston, the first notice of her ar
rival at each port. The passengers by her, af
ter their ariiva) at New York, published a com
plimentary card, in which they express them
selves highly pleased with her performance.
By this vessel we have received copious files
of New-York papers up to the hour of her sail
ing, which contain accounts from Liverpool to
the 21 April, brought by the ship South America,
arrived at that port.
A very interesting Circular from Liverpool
will be found under our commercial head.

The new Custom House at New-Yotk is to Le
located at the corner of Wall and Nassau-streetg.
The Irish co-ercion bill has passed the House
of Commons by a majority of 259 and been re
turned with amendments, to the House of Lords,
whence it originated, in which body there is no
doubt of its final pa-sage. It is thought that its
provisions will be immediately executed, and for
that purpose 28,(XX) soldiers are kept in Ireland
by tbe British Government. Thug is a whig
ministry, about to signalize its triumph by « mea
sure of oppression &. atrocious injustice, scarce
ly paralleled in the annals of toryism—a mea
sure which denies to Ireland, the privilege of the
British Constitution, and treats the Irish people,
" as a horde of robbers -and murderers.”
Earl Grey has expressed himself with great
caution on the subject of West India slavery, a
vowing himself to be in favor of abolition, but
not of immediate emancipation unless tbe word
immediate “-was Qot to be taken as meaning im
mediate, but the earliest period at which eman
cipation could take place with safety to all the i
interests concerned.” The monopoly of the trade
to China by the East India Comply is. about t»
cease, but the Company is still exercise its
territorial functions in Indi*-’ Ihe King of Hol
land continues to reinforce his squadron in the
Scheldt, and has declared that he wilt not sub
mit to conditions which he considers unjust.
Two fsesh attacks by the troops of Don Miguel
have been successfully repelled by the forces of
Don Pedro. Fears are expressed, however, that
the Constitutionalists will ultimately be oblig >d
to retire. A dispute with Admiral Sartorius has
interposed new and serious difficulties in the way
ofDonPedio. Portugal seems likely to con
tinue under the rule of the despot of her choice.
