Modesty, diffidence, and a proper hu mility, ure jewels in the cap ol merit; but downright bashhilmss, y ur real mau raise honte is terrible, and .s a distinct mark of ill-breeding, or lather no breed ing at all. Your dashing impudent fops, who say a thousand silly things to the la dies, and flutter around them like butter flies, are yet more enda; aL.e than your bashful fellow who sneaks into a corner, terrified to catch a look, or exchange a word with a pretty woman. Such an identical person paid me a vis it on one of the cold days last w< ek, and broke in upon me witii a thousand Lows and apologit s, w hi e busily engaged with pen in hand, thinking of a whig candidate for President, who would not ru.. the risk ol being knocked on the head Ly our friends the imanent his name was an nounced. ‘‘Sit down, sir, if you phase; make no more apologies, sit down and tell me your business.” “ Well, sir, I’m come for a curious business, quite an intrusion, I’m sure, but .-o it is ; necessity knows no ceremony. Some lane ago, 1 read in your paper a descripti. n of the miseries of an old bachelor, and it was so to the. life— so true, and so exactly my condition, that I have made bold to call on you for ad vice; tor misery, they say, loves company, and one wretched bache.or may be able i to counsel another—thus it is—” “ Stop, stop, my triend; before you proceed, let me correct an error in which you have, no doubt, inadvertently fallen. Though 1 may be able from memory to describe the misery of single wretchedness, J had not the courage to face it. You must net be dec ived, I am no longer a bachelor; do you want the proofs? look there; that black-eyed, ruddy-cheeked fellow on the carpet, employed in cutting out ships and houses from old newspapers, is my old est; he designs himseli to be an editor, for he contends that nothing is easier; it is only, he says, cutting out slips from one paper and putting them into another.— That little one who struts about in a pa per cocked hat and wooden sword, with which, ever <md anon, he pokes at my ribs, when deeply engaged tn consider ing how the nation is to be saved, is my Second hopeful; he is a Jackson man ; all children, sir, are lacksen men; he goes sot a sold'er if there be wars. That lit jle gt.’den haired urchin, with a melting blue eve who is so sure to ask me for candy, while lam describing, in bitter 'he tyranny of the Albany regency, is my youngest: and there with a basket of stockings neai her, sits my better half; there is the sparkling fire, and here are my slippers; does ail this look like the miseries of a bachelor?” “Well 1 beg your pardon, sir, for believing that you were as wretched as 1 am; but sti.l when you hear my story you may possibly ad vise me what is best to be done.” “Go on, sir.” “ Well, sir, thus it is: My fa ther realized a handsome property by his industry, which he left to me, Lot such Were iiis rigid notions of the necessity of constant occupation to prevent idleness and other evils that my lime was employ ed, after I had left school, which w..s at an early a. hum sunrise to bed-time. It was an incessant r mud of occupation —labour, keeping books, and making out bills. Behold me now, al the age oftwen ty-three, with a good constitution, correct principles, and a handsome income. 1 have lost iny parents —am alone in the world. I wish to marry, but really, sir, to whose shame I coultss it, 1 have no acquaintance with young Isdies. Ido not know any. My secluded manner of liv ing has prevented my cultivating their acquaintance; and if by accident lam thrown into their society, my tongue is literally tied. Ido not know how to ad dress them—l am not conversant with the topics which are usually discussed. In short, sir, I wish to advertise for a wife, and not knowing how to draw up such an advertisement, 1 came to beg that favour at your hands.” “So, so,” said I to myself, “here’s a little modesty tumbled into decay— * Cat l<jbs in search'd!’ a Wife?” lie was a good-looking young fellow, and had a quick eye, which led me very much to doubt his reserved, retired and abashed condition before the ladies. “ Have you, sir, considered the risk in j taking a wife m this strange way ? How very liable you may be to gross impost- , tion ? hat lady of delicacy or reputa tion would venture to contract an alliance so very solemn and obligatory, through the channel of a newspaper advertise ment ?” “ Very probably, sir; but a poor honest girl might be struck with it; a clever, well-educated daughter, ill-treated by a fiery step-mother, might, in despair, change her condition for abetter one; nay, a spirited girl might admire the no velty, and boldly make the experiment.” “ Well, sir, how are you to conduct the ♦negotiation with your native bashfulness? You have no superannuated grandmother or old maiden aunt to arrange prelimina ries.” “I hat’s very true; but, sir, ne cessity will give me confidence, mid des- j pair afford me courage.” ( I I wrote the advertisement for him, i which Lethal.k/u ly and carefully placed ; in Ins pocket-book, arid b.tde us good morn ing. “Poor devil,” said I, “here’s a i condition—here's a novelty here’s a ru , ra (iris! a fellow of twenty-three, with a 1 good chai net, rand income, and not suff icient impudence to ask fir a wi'e. I . know 1. ts of yotit-.g laili s who would hav< ; sufficient cliaii'.y tu break him of his bash-j ilulmss m a ft w lessons.” j However, his i use is not a novel one j It s ows th: necessity ol parents accus ; ' turning their sous in early life to cultivate) : the sot. it ty of n spectable females. They should be encouraged in any disposition they may mania st lor good female society, although they may incur the charge of biing i ither a beau ora dandy. Boys should go to dancing school, not only bv j cause it leaches them grace, but it accus 'turns them in early Ide to the society of ) women. They dance with those girls, ■ whom in 1 iter periods, they may admire iaud respect as l.uhi s The lives of chil dren should b< checkered With innocent amusa nients —study and labour require ■such relief; tin I they should not be (brought up in close confinement, in a dog gerel way which unfits them fur society when they are men; nor be driven to the dire necessity of advertising for a wife, and taking the risk of such a desperate adventu re. [From the New York Tiincx.] THE VIEWS GF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE. We publish beLw the strong i\so!u j lions adopt d Tues .ay evening by the j Democratic Republican General Commit i tee in relation to the Abolition question. | They were d< signed to express the views i of the Party, which was not fully done by : the proceed ngsufthe meeting in the Park. I They evince light feelings and will aid : powerfully in putting al rest the slanders lof a reckless Opposition, who hope to i profit by fastening upon us the odium of | countenancing the fanatics. We cunsid j er, with especial saii Ticatiun. the d-.cided disapprobation here expressed of any dis- I cussiun upon the Slavery que.>ti .n These fare imt times when v\ eli-meauing wise iii<'n w ill agitate so hazarduous a topic; , but there are many w ho cannot, unaided, I abstain from meddling with it. and per ) haps this grave warning from so high a I source may preserve them from doing ; further mischief. TLis was the very ■ point on which a strong and decided ex pression was most required, and will, do i most good. The Resolutions upon the . whole are excellent, well-timed, and can- I not fail to be useful. ) “At a special meeting o' the Democrat- ic Republican General Committee of the h'ity and county of New York, he ld at ) Tammany Hali, pursuant to m.tice, on the i evening of the 29th day of September, ; 1835, the following preauiLle and r< solu ) lions were tiuanimousiy adopted. I “Whereas, the People of the United Slates, in order to form a more, perfi i t ) Union—established justice—ensure do • mcslic trampwility—provide for the com- I mon d< f. nee—; rmnote the general w t-1- i fare, and secure the blessings ol liberty to tiiemseives and theirp isteiitv—did ordain [and (S'abiisli the Constitution of the Um j ted Stales, in which while they were Col | oities, .slavery Lad 1 een imposed by Great [ Biitain, ami securing to them, respective ly, a representation in iht Federal Govern ment, f>r persons held to service in such i States—<slabliaLi;.^, also, the right of : individuals to reclaim such persons who ' might escape into another State—any law or regulation therein to the contrary not withstanding. “ And, whereas, Associations have been formed among us,presses established, and publications cll ciliated, for the avow 'd purpose of effiding the immediate ab olition ol slavery in the I nitvd States, in dirt ct violation ol these provisions of tin* Constitution, thereby putting in jeopardy the peace, prosperity and safety of the in habitant-ol the Southern St ites —ti nding to excite disquietude and disorder among the slaves—exasperating one section of the Union against another, and thus creating disaffection,jealousy and distrust, dangerous to the well being and inimical to tLc stability of our National Confedera tion : “ Aim', whereas, the Democratic party has been equally firm and consistent, in advocating at d supporting the rights of the People, and m d fending the rigLts of tin- Stales, be lieving both to be essential to the happiness and piosperity of our cem mon country : “ Therefore— - “ Resolved, 1 hat each State, onbecom- in a party to the Ftderal Cornpact, rest re ed to itself ail the powers and attributes ol sovereignty, not expr< ssly delegatt d I y i the Constitnli >n—and that in respect to ad i poweis not so delegated, they are free, I sovereign and independent States—that the relation of Master and Slave, being exclusively within the jurisdiction, and subject only to the Laws of those Stales in which "that relation exists, the General Government cannot alter nor affect that relation. And therefore, we deem it not jOidy unconstitutional, but highly improp er, and emim i.tly dangerous to the well j being and stability of ihe ir'iole., that cit tZ' ns of one State should intermeddle with inti rnal regulations w Licit are exclusively under the cognizance and within the ju-j risdtetion of a si-ter State. Jt alous ofour i own rights, we should view with indigna-j ( tiou any interference in our domestic eon- | ct rns, th.it would have a teude ,cv, even i the most remote, to introduce discord and | confusion, lead to insurrection, unhinge; our political relations, add subject thou-1 sands of our f.

The indig nation ot the people of New York, is much excited by this daring and insulting act. Mr. Tappan may hive forgotten the hsson he received when his house was dismantled, but the spirit ahich pro duced that work still exists, and he may yet again have to rue it. “ You must be aware, that to produce the p-oper effect upon some minds, the coir uelors of our prints are under the ne cessity of uttering their sentiments in mildir terms than their feelings would dictate. We would not injure such a cause by precipitancy of expression, or by appearing to stir up ru t to produce an end, which the quiet operation of the law may effect. But you will find, when we are satisfied that the incendiaries are on ly to be put down by the hand of violence that we have not forgotten the spirit of "i fathers, w hich led them to destroy the ’.■s e. and throw the tea of Englishmen clothe ocean, even though the act was not sai.cimned by the law of the laud. “But I ait encroaching much upon your time, when I tax you to read a long letter.

'There are on board the British ship Ad. am Lodge, arrived yesterday, eight full blooded English Horses, the property of Wadk Hampton, Esq of this State. These Horses were purchased at the last annual King’s sale, by Dr. Nott, for Mr. Hampton, under the advice and by the judgement of Tattersaj.l, one of the best judges of the English Race Horse; and at very high prices. We are happy to stale that by the great care and atten tion of Mr. Frayer, so advantageously known on cur Turf, as a Keeper and Groom, assisted by *a Groom from Eng land, they are in fine condition and spirits. 'The following are the pedigrees of : these Horses, and the know ing Jockies can at once recognize in the various cros ses, the best mixture of English bleed PEDIGREES.

This importation will add much to our present stock of Racers, and tend to pre vent that breeding of in and in, which tends inevitably to injure even the best blood. We have no doubt but that Mr. Hampton will be richly rewarded for his enterprise on this occasion. In addition to the stock of horses above enumerated, Mr. Frayer hasbrought out a superior. Brood Alare for Cel. Richard son. Although these horses have arrived tn fine order, yet after such a long voyage, it is possible they may suffer in their ap pear.mce, one of C d. .- iugli ton’s finest im portations, having some time since, lay five weeks on its side, after it was landed.

'This convenience has been long wanting, and will greatly add to the number of those who partake of the gratifying arnucements ol the Turf. We also learn, that Mr. Hampton has on board the same ship, some valuable English Sheep. The stock ol these we are not in possession of but have no doubt they are the best that could be obtained. Curran was one day proceeding to a Grand Draw ing room at the castle. Up on that occasion there was much confusion and jostling amongst the carriages —Sud denly, Curran let down one of the front glasses of h.s chariot, and cri-d out to his coachman, —‘stop, slop! the pole of the carriage behind us has just forced in the back of ours.’ Then be any your honor, it’s ail right again ; our pole has just gone into the back of the carriage b fore us.’ Such of the inhabitants of the villages and small towns distant from Dublin as can afford to purchase slioes, prefer to o-et themselves supplied with that article of costume from the capital. For this pur pose each person lias a last (or, as they cad it, a form,) made of the exact Size and shape ofthe foot; .arid one in want of shoes will take advantage ofa journey to Dublin by rny fi lend or neighbor, to send the form, in order that a pair may be fitted to it. Curran’s servant happened to be going to Dublin on business for his master, and wascharged by several of his acquaintan ces w ith commissions of that nature, each furnishing him with his form accordingly. ‘And be sure,’ said Curran to his man, be sure you buy shoes for yourself at the same time : I shall be very angry if you don’t for you are very much in want of them. ‘Sure and I will your honor,’ was the man’s reply. On his return home Curran inquired I whether he had bought himself shoes. ‘No, and indeed, but I didn’t, your hon- I or.’ ; ‘And why did you not, sirrah? Didn’t I give you positive orders to do so?-’ ‘And, plase your honor, and did'nt I go to Dublin and forget to take my form along with me?’ It need hardly be remarked upon this that it had neveroccurred to the poor fellow that his own foot would have served his purpose at least as well as the model of it.

We are happy, says the Columbus Sentinel of | lheßth, to have it in our power to state, that the ) Funnel’s Bank of Chattahoochie, located at this ) place, re-commenced business on Wednesday ) last, and is now prepared to redeem all their | bills which may be presented for payment. Mr. Smith, Editor of the Sunday Morniny 1 .Xeirs, whose letter on an exciting subject, we ; copy with the commendatory remarks of the . Charleston Courier, is a' present in our neigh- j borhood, as may be seen on reference to our i Hymeneal Lead. Mr. Smith had good reason for his attachment to the South and zealous de- i fence of her principles and institutions. Who would not be so attached for such rewards '? We declare, Mr. S. has given us reason to fear, he has been interested in this matter. Our opponents m ty well bless the storm which darkened our prospects on the day of election through all the N. Western Counties. It saved them a storming, which they would never have got over. McKim and Howard are eireted to Congress from Baltimore, beating their opponents by a handsome majority. They arc Admini-tration men. THE ELECTION. By the returns to-day, Schley,is 1819 votes ahead and Wilde G3O behind Holsey, the hind most on the Union ticket. Every day will swell our majority to the end of the race. The result is undoubled, —2'2 counties for Governor,and 28 for Congress to be reported. Hon. C. P White of New York has resigned ( his scat in Congress from that State. I Duck and Swimmer, the Indians- who mur ) du red Eli Hicks, wete shot in attempting to I escape from the Guard, says the Pioneer, a I day or two since. Both of them were killed. - XVe have not a doubt, we believe no one has jof the result of our election. Our ntunercial I superiority- will be small, that is, it will not ex ) ceed 3000 votes, when we should show 10.000. j Our opponents are in great glee—that they are : not beaten 3 or 6000 votes, which, they admit, ; they expected. All that we regret in the re , stilt, is, its tendency to keep our opponents in j hope—already they are saying, what they will Ido another year. They allege, we are failing . —our friends growing fewer in the State, and ) wc will assuredly be in a minority in ano , ther year! Bui so far from this being the fact, j our present half triumph will only ald to the ) overvyhehning poll, with which they will be routed another time. Men will then lurn out, rain or shine. Habersham and Franklin will pour out their strength—no one will be detfir ) red from the performance of a great duty by a j little wind and rain ; and their sister Counties i will roll such a flood of Union votes from the m mntains as shall obliterate the little rills of Ntillifieation and choke up all their spring . I We might mention many good reasons (or the present result, so (tiflereut in amount of votes from the expectaii on of both patties; but some ' ol them are of a delicate nature, and we had rather the matter should bo misunderstood a broad, than recount them. But the rain of M.m- d iv, through al! the region of our greatest strength, was en >ugli to have lost us at least 3003 voles. Sa be it —We are readj- for anoth er campaign and shall enter it with hopes un broken—prospects unclouded, and a zeal ren der'd nore intense bribe crowing of war ad versaries so lung before div light. As a formula for those who may not be expert in such matters, we copy the following original. It was actually sent to an olftter c mimanding a Battalion in a neighboring county and is no creature of literary taste. The writer is no a dept at spelling or placing apostrophes; but it is possible he might have placed something where it would have been equally as obnoxious as a misplaced comma. We recounm-nd those intending such sport, or hoping for the same to carefully preserve this paper. The milk and water invitations of the present fashion are the most out-of-place things in nature. You would sooner suppose you were invited to take a break fast or a morning recreation of a very different sort. This is unnatural. The Indian paints himself with the most horrid devices, intended and calculated to intimidate his enemies, but the civilized man goes out to shoot his enemy with a polite invitation in bis pocket and a ci gar in his mouth! No, send a challenge, that shall either scare your adversary or raise his spunk. We think, we knew a duel once stop ped by one party swearing he would blow a hole thro’ his antagonist th'at G—d A y couldn’t stop. That was considered a very ex traordinary sort of an aperture, and it was con cluded, that its opening had Letter be deferred. But here is the article, that is to supercede all other forms in such matters : Mr. . Ipursiime your ate not satisfied in pestering of mee, and now I will oner you so fare as to give you satisfaction, by giving you a Chanelege to meet me in on eny name day, for a ring fi t and s< hul fit, or meet me in hamburg with powder and ball eny name Day, and if you dont except of neither banters, I shall pronounce you an infurnal Coward, and not fit for a field officer. And if you pester me with eny more of your little lying stinking warents as I am in formed you are a Bout to do, in the first intant prepare your self for a ternity, for I dont in tend to be imposed on no longer.

Our readers are perfectly familiar w ith the robberi- of the Branch of the Bank of Darien in this city, on or about the 7th of June last—the discovery of part of the amount purloined, ($23,000) on the 17th of that month, by a negro, who found the same among some bales of cotton on John ston’s w harf.—and the subsequent arrest in this city in thesainemonth of John Fitz gerald, suspected as the Bobber of the Bank, but discharged for the want of ev idence to render him culpable. We are now gratified iu being able to state, that there is every prospect that the whole amount purloined will be ultimate ly recovered. Those vigilant officers— . Messrs Hays and Huntington of New York, it seems, suspected Fitzgerald tn N. York of being in possession of money by some unfair means, and succeeded in elicit ng from him a confession, which im plicates Paliick Savage, ol this place, a Conch maker by trade, as an accomplice. Messrs. Hays and Huntington arrived in this city on Saturday, and proceeding to the place designated by Fitzgerald, found a box containing $69,381, the larger por tion ol tii.c bills stolen. It was stowed a way in the ceiling of the Coach H 'use of Mr. Warner, with whom, we learn, Mr. Savage worked as a Journeyman. The amount now missing, is not only composed of Bank Bills of tl*e Savannah Branch ($4,074) which Fitzgerald says he thew away when pursued by officers in Savannah—but also $7,315, in Gold and Silver, which was secreted, but has been removed [it is supposed] irom its place of j deposite, since FdZgeraid left the city. iMr Savage has been committed to jail for further examination. Fitzgerald states, in h s affidavit, that the $23,000 found m in June among the cotton, were placed therewith his consent. A demand has been made, through the Governor, for the body of Fitzgerald, at present confined in New York—and Messrs. Haysand Hunt i ington will return to that city with a liber j al reward in their pockets, to which their ( vigilance fully entitles them.— Georgian, The Temps gives the following anec dotes of Tieschi the assassin:—“ A per son in whom Fieschi seems to place much confidence, asked him, in his pri j son, ifthe King was exposed to any dan ger at present. ‘At present,’ he repliiui after a short pause— ‘ No, it will be some time before another Fieschi can be found.’ When asked who had given him the idea of the infernal machine, he answered, ‘Noone: there are few pet sons, let me tell you, who are capable of directing Fieschi.’ Messrs Baude at Letrocat speak highly of the great superiority of his intellect. His health has greatly im proved; his mind seems perfectly at ease,- and he pisses his time chiefly at playing dominoes. Sir Godfrey Ktieller, who, it is well known was one of the vainest men of his time, was one day sitting with Pope, when his nephew, a Guinea trader, called to see him. ‘Nephew,’ said Sir Godfrey, ‘you have now the honor of standing in the pres ence of two of the greatest men in the world.’ Ido not know,’ said the traffick er in human flesh, ‘how great you may be; but 1 dotil much like your looks. I have often bought a man much better than both of you for ten guineas.’ Epitaphs and obituary notices are not exactly fit themes for merriment; but at times thvy are so solemnly ludicrous that sorrow and sadness change into a smile. I Thefollowing extract from the obituary of | a provii cia! newspaper is so surpassingly ■ comic, that we cannot resist the temptation lof laving it before our readers. Shakes peare little thought when he made Mark ! Antony speak of the ‘rent the envi« us Cas ca made,’ that he.should bo so misunder-' stood, as in the following lines of the biog rapher. ’The spoiler came; disease rest ed on her vitals, and whi n she thought to t iste again the dear enjoyments of domes tic peace, death—cold, ciuel, and relent less death, with his envious Casca closed the scene.' A home Anecdote. ln the Temperance Contention yesterday, while the subject of total obstinance from wine was under discussion, a gentleman illustrated the re luctance of good society to g’ve up their costly wine cellars, at the same time that they exhort the gin drinkers to take to ' cold wait r alone, by the following apt an ecdote Three men were brought before in magistrate, charged with drunkenness. The magistrate inquired ofthe first what lie got di uni; on? The answer was whis key. Then I fine yon thirty shillings,for it is a shame for any man to get drunk on whiskey. And what did you gi t drunk on? asked the Magistrate of the second. New Rum, was the answer. That is not so bad, but no man fought to get dunk on rum ar.d I fine you twenty shillings. The third was asked what made him drunk, and he answered that he got drunk on brandy punch! Ah! says the Magistrate, then I fine you nothing for I sometimes | get drunk on brandy punch myself. i Another member of the Convention, stated that the great obstacle to the temp , erance Deformation, was the attachment of the wealthy circles iu Boston to wines. He related as a fact, that the wine bill of a single individual, for six weeks at a ho tel in this city, was one hundred dollars. All is wry well but there is one fashion able source of imempi rance which the Convention did not seem to think of, and which would have produced no little jar ring had it been broached. Me mean those public revels which have been held the past year or two in honor of what was called whig victories, the 4th of July and other occasions. It is of little use for gen tlemen to make fine speeches on Temper ance, and then sit down to a table in pub : lie where an hundred toasts are steeped in as many bumpers. For instance, who could fail while the anti-wine discussion was going on yesterday, to .ecollect that the President of that most respectable Con vention, but a little more than a year ago presided at a dinner on Boston Common, where six thousand bottles of wine WERE DRUNK.
