Ala« 1 hr deep upon a foraiprt •ore—
The muses his sail fate deplore—
His Ivre, that once so sweetly brenth d.
But now with mournful cypress wreath d
Forever slumbers, and i- heard no inure
Yet, mortal! know my name is Fame;
And to the world bisiuerits I prorlaim !
Or, still mare pious, hast thou come
To Weep o rr brave Dec iTi’lCstomb?
And do-t thou shod the feelinp tear
O'er his rrio/tm that slumber here ?"
’Tis true, said I; ! here deplore
The gallant hero, now no mure;
tt ho. hike a youthful Hercules,
Subdued his ravage enemies'.
And who. at a maturer age,
Encounter'd Britaih's hostile rage;
And dared with more than equal foes contend ;
While I'irImp and fume his glorious course at

And whose dread cannon shook Barlmria's snore,
While Algiers trembl'd at the Ihur.d riug roar.
Alas ’ he slumbers with the dead ;
The lightning of his eye is gone!
Arid cypress wreaths entwine around that bend.
Where Glory her bright halo shed ;
And darkness hovers o erthat fare
Which beam'd with every social grace—
Where manly courage shone
Nor docs the muse alone
Decatur s fate bemoan;
But floods of sympathetic tears are shed:
Columbia mourns her hero dead,
With weeping eyes, and with dejected head ; .
And sable cloud# of woe the nation overspread,

When on u craggy rock I stood,
Which overhung the oceun-shure,
Beheld the tumult of the Good,
And lieurrl the surges roar,
f saw two warlike ships engage,
With hostile fury and destructive raga;
And heard the cannon's ihund'ringroar
Reverberate through rocks, and roll along the
ahorc;
’Miu t clouds nf smoke, the “tarry flag was seen,
Waving, in triumph, o’er the dreadful scene ; i
W hile, shining through the battle's storm,
I sow the brave Dacarvu's form ;
His arm, like lightning, deudl the fatal blow,
And hurl'd Columbia's thunders on the foe-!
The battles din no morels heard—
The scene of sorrow disappear'd.
When, lo! again my w andering eyes
Saw Fame's bright goddess glitteringin the skies:

With an immortal strain,
While bursts of glory flash'd around,
And brightn'd all the main -
*‘Hear, mortal, hear !tlie wonders thouhast seen,
Givo but a glimpse of his immortal fume ;

And With iww glories grace Decatur s name,
But thou couldst nut endure the dazzling sight—
Tor how ran mortal eves sustain .such heavediy

Bn*, lisH;! f hear a louder sound,
I.-ke peals of thunder, bursting on my ear;

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
On Saturday last, the C5th inst. came on
to be tried in the district court for the city
and county of Philadelphia, the case eftticks
n*. Allen. This was an action of slander,
brought by lvobert Hicks, a black man, _
gainst Richard Alien, bishop of the African
.Methodist Episcopal Church, for w ords al
leged to have been spoken by Allen from the
pulpits of Bethel and Union 'Churches, to
wit :—Charging Hicks and others, with Be
traying and kidnapping people of their color,
it had been tried before, iu May last, and a
verdict for 8200.
The. cour’ granted a new trial: and it now
came on, before .the Honorable Judges M*-
Kean and Simmons, „n.l a very intelligent
jury ; the plaintiff produced eight witnesses,
all people of color, who swore to the words.
Tlic defendant produced twenty three res
pectable prwpk of color who testified that
they were present at the churches mid at the
times stated ; and that the words “ kidnap-
ptr," kidnapped," or ” kidnapping™ were
not used by Mr. Allen ; and some other wit
nesses, as to Hicks having tampered with
some of his witnesse
The counsel employed, agreed not to
•peak to the ease, but leave it to llie jury tin
der the direction of the court.
’The lury -retired, and in ten minutes re
turned arid gave a verdict for the. defendant.
The conniel were Joseph tLIngursoll and
TVm. tWany, for plaintiff.
Browne, and Swift, Rayse, Newcomb and
fc, A. Browne, for defendant
EXTRACT
From Brackcnridge's Fit ts's of Louisiana.
It was Ihc twentieth of May. The
weather in this latitude, exceedingly
warm. As llie day decline*, however,
the air grows cool and ftesh. At night the
coolness is even such ns to render a fire
indispensable. On leaving the town, 1
passed for n mile or tw o through a w ood
of astonishingly luxuriant grow th, and o-
vera plain of a loose rich soil, and where
there is nothing to vary the scene but
the variety of the vegetation. Just as
the sun was sinking below the horizon,!
entered one of those beautiful glades, or
natural meadows, which are so often seen
in this part of the world, and never
without producing an agreeable feeling,
The storm of t!i« passions had already
subsided in uiy breast, the objects which
had successively caught tny attention in
jogging along, had calmed my mind, and
glad fancy plumed her wing for a llight
to scenes of ideal enjoyments and plea
sures. In this state of mind, 1 suddenly
emerged from the dark forest ; the prai
rie, spread out before me all its enchant
ing beauties, and fearful of passing too
rapidly, 1 reigned in my horse. 1 gazed
with delight on the smooth soft grass, on
the numerous flowers, on the scattered
shrubberies ofsumwc, with their scarlet
berries, which preserve their hues until
renewed by summer, nnd on the close
embowering woods, by which this gar
den of the Dryads and Hamadryads, was
enclosed as by a wail. How serene the
heavenly vault above my head ! How
rich and varied underneath my feet, the
hues and texture of the carpet woven by
the fantastic hand of nature ! Cold is the
heart that does not harmonize with our
universal mother, when her features
wear an expression like this.
ft was night when I reached the fur
ther end of the glade, and then entered
a deep forest, where the massy foliage
almost shut out the twinkling light of the
stars. There was no danger of stray
ing from the road, for the woods arc so
close as to form a complete hedge. Af
ter travelling ns 1 conjectured, about
four miles, 1 heard the barking of dogs
who had discovered my approach ; the
sound was not disagreeable, as I expect
ed here to find my companions, and to
repose for the night. As l drew near
the settler's cabin, 1 discovered a groupe
of persons seated by a large fire which
was burning under an enormous tree.—
Here he comes,” se veral voices cried
out at once, for it seems they had been
expecting me; and the settler coining
forward, requested me to alight, with
an appearance of good will which made
me feel that it was sincere. The dogs
who were at first very noisy, now whined
a kind of w elcome as if they would se
cond the hospitality of their master.—
I gladly accepted the invitation, having
been :■ good deal chilled by the cold
night dews. 1 found my companions
seated in the midst of the family, and
as much at home tvs if they formed a
partofit. The family consisted ofthc mo
ther and fourteen children ; the eldest
apparently about eighteen years of age,
a blooming girl; the youngest an infaul.
They were all glowing with health. 1
made up an acquaintance in a few mo
ments with half a doeen young rogues,
and passed the time agreeably. The in
nocence, the cheerfulness and content,
which prevailed in this charming family,
almost seemed 4o be without alloy. The
scene will never fade-from my recollec
tion. They were neatly dressed in new
Cotton cloth, and bad nothing of that
wretchedness or poverty, or stupid igno
rance, which is hut too common in the
unfortunate peasantry of most countries.
Looking around, 1 found inyself in the,
midst of the woods ; a few trees were
felled round the house, which was built
of unhewn logs, the interstices not clo
sed up.
The good man having secured my
horse in a kind of shed, and given him
a bundle of reeds which he had cut, re
turned to the fire and resumed his seat.
1 conversed with him on various subjects,
and was much suprised at the good sense
as well as various information which he
possessed. He gave me a brief account
of his reasons for settling here. He was
a native of Connecticut, had sold a small
property, which he owned in the vicinity
of Hartford, and had removed to Ohio,
with the intention of purchasing a tract
-of land on which to support his increas
ing family. But on his arrival, he had
found the price beyond his means, after
the expenses he was obliged to incur in
transporting his family, lie had tkcre-
fore come to the resolution of proceed
ing to the extreme frontier, and a few
months before had reached New Madrid.
Here he had followed the example of
others, and selected a spot on the public
lands, in the hope of being able to make
as much by the cultivation of the soil,
as would pay for it by the time the office
for the sale «f the public domain, should
be opened. If he should not prove suc
cessful, the improvements cn the land,
would render it more valuable to some
one else, and in the mean while, he
would be aide *o support lri3 family.—
Supper being now announced, we all en-
teied the cabin, where the tabic was
spread, &i rough benches placed around
it. A tin cup filled with rich milk, was
placed before each of us, and cakes of
Indian meal, were smoking on the board
The good man said grace in a reverend
manner, and we did ample justice to the
simple uid wholesome fare provided for
us. Surrounded by health, innocence,
and benevolence, who could complain ?
If Satan himself had come hereto plan
mischief against these amiable people,
and were thus kiudly treated, he would
have relented.
After supper, we returned to the fire
underneath the spreading tree, & whiled
away the time in sprightly and mirthful
conversation ; the Yankee girls were
rery talkative, the whole family appear
ed to he delighted with our company in
this lonely plaoe, where they so seldom
saw any strangers but their neighbors,
the hears and wolves. The hour for
retiring at length arrived. Our host a-
rose, A addressing himself to us, “gen
tlemen,” said he, “ it is the practice of
our family to give a half an hour to re
ligious devotion every evening ; should
you think proper to join us, we will be
glad, if not, keep your seats, and excuse
us for the present.”—Who could hnvc
declined such an invitation ? A Turk
would not have harmed them ; an Indi
an ; no, the bloody savage would not
have chosen this sacred moment, to have
rushed upon them with the murderous
knife. We again entered the house,
where they sung one of Watts’ pious
hymns, after which, our host poured out
a prayer that seemed to flow from the
very bottom of his heart. The evening
service was concluded by nnothrr hymn,
after which, it being lime to retire to
rest, we were shewn up to the loft, to
which we ascended by a ladder. A few
blankets and bear skins, had been pro
vided for us ; wc resigned ourselves to
sleep in the consciousness that even such
wretches as we, could not fail of experi
encing the cave of the protecting angel,
«et over to guard this charming family
from the approach of guile.
How different the piety of these peo
ple -from the intolerance of fanaticism
that deadly enemy of religion ? Is there
a man so depraved and w icked, as not to
feel inward involuntary reverence, on
approaching the shrine where with de
cent humility, the sinner offers, on the-
altar of God, the sacrifice of a contrite
and grateful heart! Put the scorn and
derision which the fanatic provokes, gives
a wound to religion herself whose cause'
lie thinks to promote. 1 trust, that 1
shall always entertain a just sentiment'
of whatever tends lo lessen the salutary
influence of religion: for it is vn f, soil.
of society. No nation has cvcrexistcd
without finding it indispensible. To
thousands it is ihc subtle monitor which
guides and governs in gentle whispers,
where the voice rif human law is silent.
To millions it is flic fountain of bliss, of
fortitude, of consolation, of hope, of hap
piness unspeakable. What shall I say
of tiic mad and impious man who thinks
to destroy it? lie is worse than the
traitor, for he wars not against a town of
government hut stabs at the existence of
society itself ; he is worse than the rob
ber or murderer, for he steals what
riches cannot buy, and destroys an eter
nal life.
Letter of J\f. .Y. II. Hull, to his Father.
We publish the following letter, which
was delivered to us by the unhappy man
himscif for publication, with feelings of
no ordinary sensibility. This paper will
speak for itself ; it needs no comment
of our own ; it may he said to speak
from the grave, w hich already opens for
its victim; and from llie evidence that
we personally became acquainted with
from Ihc lips of this unfortunate and guil
ty man, wc have no doubt of his sinceri
ty. Could wc add any tiling to the sen
timents advanced by the writer, most
cordially xnd deeply would we rejoin in
his supplication, that our rising youth
would learn from this awful example, to
reverence the admonitions of their pi
ous parents. Would lo God that it
would lead us all to l ulled, that even
murder is nearly allied to the indulgence
of any known vice. That the same be
neficent Redeemer, through whose me
rits, not only this unhappy man but every
son and daughter of Adam, must expect
divine forgiveness, may have mercy on
him, is our fervent supplication at the
Throne of Divine (.trace.—Belt. ‘Jitron.
DearFatiif.w—1 am daffy and impa
tiently expecting a letter from you, and
hope you have by this time received my
last. On Wednesday 1 received my aw
ful se-ntence, but dear father, I acknow
ledged to the court then, as I did before
to you, the strict justice cf it. Yes, 1
know that my hands are polluted with
blood, and my conscience—oh it is bur
dened with the crime into which 1 have
been drawn. Little did l expect when
I left our happy home and an affection
ate father, that before 1 could sec you
again, 1 should have incurred such guilt,
and be a tenant of this doleful cell.—
Would to God 1 had rejected tly; first
proposal, which was that we should go
on to get a sum of money, which Hutton
assured me he knew we could get, with
ease and certainty. The plan was not
fully explained to me until we got to
Wilmington—of the murder 1 knew noth
ing until wc were returning from the
place the first night, and when my terror
prevented the cxeo'.lion of the plan.—
Tliori Hutton told me, that although he
had not mentioned it to me, lie meant
to have put the man out of the way, lest
Ins evidence should lead to our convic
tion. Oh ! if God had taken my life (he
next day and never allowed me to go out
a second time. Rut then I should have
died as 1 lived—thoughtless, rash and
unprincipled ; and now, though 1 have
brought disgrace and anguish upon you,
yet my guilty soul may he saved because
Jesus Christ died for sinners, and he
has given me time and hope to repent.
When the poor man begged for his life
I told him we would, and I meant it.—
Indeed 1 pleaded for him, but Hutton in
stated we would he known, and told me
it was no time for pleading, and at last
told me either to shoot him or the driver,
and then—oh my God forgive me.—
Dear Father, I do not write you this
to excuse my guilt—no, this is too, too
had ! 1 have not denied it before God or
man, but it is to show you, that dreadful
ly as l had abused your cure, your tears
and prayers were not altogether thrown
away—I was not yuitc abandoned. Ob
my God preserve my brother from bad
company, nnd enable me to soothe a
heart which my wickedness has «o much
tortured. The poor woman loo—from
her 1 have assisted to tear ntvay her hus
band, and made her children orphans—
If 1 could ordy work for them ! but God
will take care of them. Dear Father,
this is a time of shame and sorrow with
me, but may God so help me to repent
and he converted, that nil my sins may
he forgiven me, nnd blotted out from his
holy hooks. 1 read the bible the great
est part of the time ; 1 have several o-
ther hooks and tracts, but the bible is
now worth to me all that you used to say
it was worth, I learn there that God i<
gracious, long-suffering and merciful, &
forgiving fin to the penitent, and takes
delight in a broken spirit; for lie says
in the Scripture, “a broken and a con
trite heart he will not despise he isa-
ble to forgive the worst of sinners, nnd
we rend, ,l though your sins he as scar
let, they shall be as white ns snow ; tho’
they be as crimson, he can make them
white as wool:” how often my dear fa
ther have you told me these things, and
yet verse than a child, or brute, 1 have
resisted nnd not profited by your advice,
and preferred the guilty advice of bad
friends. 1 know that I am inexcusable
by my earthly father ; and can my God,
iny heavenly lather, ever forgive me ?
Oh, if it was not for Jesus Christ, where,
where should 1 go ? Rut I hope that lie
will support me under the dreadful pu
nishment which 1 have shortly to suffer;
how my soul sinks under it ; but if he
will only give me hope in my death, and
the least, the lowest part in his kingdom,
1 die contented.
One thing move—What will you think
of ine who n*i so undeserving a wretch,
asking any favor of you ? Rut, my dear
father, Mrs. I leap;:, the woman whose
husband we murdered, is poor and de
pendent, and her children—it was your
-on that helped to make them orphans!
Will you not then, notwithstanding your
large family, do something for them ?—
Give them a salary, or any thing that you
see best, or can nfford, and they, &. God,
and your son, will bless you. This would
sweeten iny death to know that it was
done at my request. Remember me, un
fortunate as 1 am, to mv mother. Thank
Godthnt my own mother is spared your
sufferings. Remember me also to bro
ther and sisters ; and may my awful si
tuation be a warning to them and all my
acquaintances. God comfort you in this
your time of affliction. I have seen a
letter from a gentleman in Utica, which
stated that you would probably be on to
visit me after rnv trial. I long, yet dread
to see yon ; it will be a grievous meeting.
My eyes are so tilled with tears, that 1
cannot write any more. But you know
my feelings better than I can* describe
them. Do write me soon. This from
your guilty, afflicted, undutiful and im
prisoned son.
