Interesting Discovery. —Wo wore shewn
yesterday a small iron-box, dug up in a gar
den in Anson street, which both on account
of its antiquity and the document it contain
ed, cannot but he highly interesting to the
family it iclates to, its well as the antiquari
an. The size of the box is about 9 inches
long, hv some 4 or 5 inches wide ruid deep,
divided exactly in the centre and fastened
by springs, with IGS2 deeply cut into iron
of the upper half. Oil opening it a small
roll of parchment was discovered, which
proved to he the gcneological chart of the
Legare family of this State. At the upper
parti* a scroll with a hoar's head below,
and the motto, “ Gnre VEgare” —below ap
peared the murt-of arms surmounted by a
coronel. and bearing llitee boat's heads,
which we regret we are unable to descrdie
go as to make ourselves understood. Each
side of the coat of aims is occupied by a
Latin inscription, of which we give the fol
lowing as a ttatislation. “ A most true and
faithful record of the noble and ancient fam
ily ,f Do L’Egare, which slievveth as much
as is known of the origin and afterwards of
the descent, even to the time ><i CHARLES
VII. at this time King of France, and out
most pir.t master, whom may it please God
(O. M.) with his sacred Saints to protect.”
Then follows the name of “ Hubert us”
who was created Could de I/Egare (Homes)
by Rolto or Roberro, first Duke of Forman
tly, A. D. 912. Then follow in iiucessiin
seven other Counts. The title ending in
Frontonius , who, os the record saycth was
deprived of his nobility by William, Duke
of Normandy, (afterwards sutnamed the
“ Conqueror,”) for joining with oilier
Counts in rebellion, and opposing his suc
cession to the Dukedom. Isis grandson.
Liujovicus, however, was created Ivtiiglit,
besides whom there were eight others, one
of whom was a Knight Templar. How the
family lost this second t itle of nobility does
not appear. The succession continues un
broken down to Salomon who with other 1
Hugenots Hud from France on the revoca
tion of the Edict of Nanlz, and who was the
progeni tor of the Legates of South Caro
lina.
_ln the course of time the name was
changed fnun “de L’Egare” to “De le
Gate,” when the second change took place
to (Legare) (or whether it is a mere corrup
tion) is not stated. We cannot but think
however, that the mode in which it was first
written is the most elegant of the three.
The manuscript which is on parchment is
in excellent preservation, and legible
throughout. It bears on its back toe follow
ing attestation : “ We the undersigned,
bear witness, that the above manuscript is
truly and faithfully copied from tin* original,
and to which we have also added a supple
ment, in which we have continued the se
ries of the descendants down to t lie present

What is singular in this discovery is, that
there exists no tradition relative to such a
box or charterer having been in ought to
this country, and it is not known b\ whom
or on what account it was buried. It is
only conjectured, that owing to the disturb
ances which existed at ihot time in this
State.it was buried for safe keeping, and
pet haps forgotten, or the spot whore it was
deposited not‘recognized when search was
made. The lot in which it was found has
been in possession of the family and their

An amusing anecdote of (lie eccentric

proceeded to charge the jury. As far as
bis lordship had gone up to the past hour,
his address is most unfavorable to the

as seditions, and has altogether agreed in
the definition of the law of conspiracy as
laid iUuii by the Crown. It was probable
the charge would not conclude that night.
The Allow ing is the answer to the address
of the Dublin Corporation, presented on
Friday by the Lord Mayor, and some of the
Aldetmen and Town Council. The Queen
received the deputation about half past tw’o

“ I teceive with satisfaction the assurance

The importance of writing a legible hand.
—lt is one thiing to write a pu tty hand,
anil quite another and a better thing to
w rite a hand that can he ied. It is related
of a clergyman, who flourished many years
ago in Massacliussetts, that lie wrote so il
legible that his letters was often sent back
to him to be deciphered. He once had oc
casion to petition to the legislature for some
thing. and the clerk tend a portion of his
petition in substance nearly as follows:
And I now address your body as Indian
devils.’ 1 “Yes,” said he, after looking
mote closely at the manuscript, “it is Indi
an devils.” Consternation followed, the
reading Was dispensed with, and the ser
gennl-at-atm” ordered to arrest the clergy
man for his insult to the “ powers that be.”
It turned out that the cierk should have
lead individuals, instead of Indian devils,
and ihe clergyman was advised to write a
plainer hand in future.

We stilted, some weeks since, our impres
sion that arrangements had been made to

suggested, once, that the annual message of
President Tyler, last December, would have
been longer, if it had not been deemed expo
client to expunge what had been written
tnuc’hinc our southern neighbors seeking a
family alliance. This may not have been
the case ; but private advices front Washing
ton confirm the suspicion that more has been
said and dot e telating to tins subject, than
has leached the public eye and ear, by the
public presses ; and it seems non to be the
opinion of many, that the requisite slips will
be tak’ n by Congress to enable Texas to de

nssottion that if the United States does not
take Texas. Gieat Britain will. Just as nur

Remedy for Films on the Eye. —A cor

small portion of molasses on his eye-lids
when asleep, for three 01 four nights in
!accession. He w-as so testless, and resist

remedy.— American Former.
Films. — Perhaps all yonr readers do
not know the easiest as well as the most
effectual remedy for removing a film from
the eye of a:i animal. It is simply to pot a
tea-spoonful of molasses on the eye-hall.—
I have relieved oxen, horses, cows and
sheep in this manner, and know of no oth
er equal to it.
Musical test of the Female Voice. —The
influence of the temper upon tune deserves
much consideration. Habits of querulous
ness or ill-nature will communicate a cat
like quality to the singing, as infallibly as
they give a peculiar"quality to the speaking
voice. That there teally exists amiable
tones is not on unfounded opinion. In tlie
voice there is no deception ; it is, to many,
the index of the mind, denoting moral quali
ties; and it may he remarked, that the low,
soft tones of gentle and amiable beings,
whatever their musical endowments may
1 he, seldom fail to please ; besides which,
the singing of Indies indicates the cultiva
tion of their taste generally, and the em
bellishment of the mind. For an instant
compare the vulgarity of a hallard-singer,
her lepulsive tone of voice and hideous gra
ces, to the manner of an equally nncultiva
ted singer in society ; or watch the treat
ment of a pretty melody from the conceit
room, at the west end of London, until it
reaches the ears from under the parlour
window, and observe how it. gains some
thing new of vulgarity with every fresh de
gtadation.

Moved only by avarice, plunder and power.
His wisdom shall sweep the proud knaves from their

“THAT SA.ut: 1)1.0 COON!”
It is quite amusing to observe the contor
tions of a lucofoco editor at the sight of a
“Coon.” It lifts pretty much the same ef
fect upon him I hat the sight of water has up-,
oil a mad dog. Our neighlior of the Caro
linian appears to have a patticular antipathy
to this “disgusting animal,” and was thrown
into spasms last week at the sight of one in
the Chronicle. We do not know whether
Ins nerves have quite recovered from the
shock yet. Does In* not know that this same
disgusting animal” was first thrust upon
the Whigs by one of his brother locofocos ?
During the contest in 1840, a lucofoco who
visited General Harrison at North Bend,
described him ns a poor old man, living in a
log-cabin with cnon-skius nulled up on the
side to dry ! And it was made a matter of
reproach that the tenant of a log-cabin should
dare to aspire to the I’lesidency ! The
Whigs, wlto make it a rule to turn even the
malice of their enemies to a good account,
adopted the Log Cabin and the Coon as (tar
ty emblems, and they Conquered under them!
No wonder, then, that the sight of “that
same ohl Coon ” should bring up disagreea
ble reminiscences, anti that i*. should be a
“disgusting animal” to him. He knows
that his “ Wf.ysKt,” wits laid out us cold as
a wedge itt 1840, by “that same oi,i
Chun and Hint a similar fate is awaiting
his old favorite in the present contest,—
i Southern (S. C.J Chr on Ufa.
YOUNG MEN’S WHIG NATIONAL
CONVENTION OF RATIFICATION.
TO THE YOUNG WIIIGS OF THE UNITED STATES.
FrUoie-Citizen*— The Young Wr.igs r ,f
Baltimore, assembled in Convention, have
delegated the undersigned, to solicit, in their
name, yonr attendance at the Young Men’s
Whig National Convention of Ratification,
to he held in this city, on Thursday, the
second of May.
The discharge of this grateful duty, re
quires us to enter upon no elaborate state
ment of the reasons, which prompt us to
desite your presence. The Presidential
canvass has aheady been opened before the
nation. Already, the movements of the
people have been to indicate the profound
solicitude they feel, for the proper decision
of the great questions which it involtes.
Those questions have been the subjects of
your familiar discussion and anxious
thought. Yon have nothing to learn ss to
the political faith you profess, and nothing
can strengthen your conviction of the mo
ment nous extent, to which the foitunes ~f
your country depend upon its successful!
promulgation. Upon these things therefore’
tve forbear to dwell.
Four years since, your enthusiasm burst’
forth, upon ibis spot, into a flame, which
went on, burning unto victoty. We call*
upon you, again to light your fires among
us, at the altar of the same patriotism.—
Now, as then, yon have.high principles to
animate your counsels—high aims to conse
crate yonr action. Embracing, in itself, li !
that is comprehensive and statesmanlike, in
public policy : all that is thoroughly and’
warmly American in scope andspirit—
blending all that deserves the approbation’
of rhe good, with all that commands the f-
Vnralde judgment of the wise—your cause
has n right to demand, that you should give
yonr energies and thoughts to its triumph.
Upon tiie men, by whom that eause is lo
be represented before the country, the
choice of a National Convention has nor, if
is true, yet fallen. The public feeling how
ever, echoed in a unanimity of accclama
lion, has left no doubt that the dLttiiguish
el citizen has been, in fact, already chosen,
upon whose genius arid wisdom and virtue,
the confidence of nut paitv will, chiefly,
test the hopes of the Republic. Upon his
character, comment is useless. It combines
ami illustrates all the elements of rioMenes.v,
which belong to the American people. The
source of uni highest pride—it lias been,
not less, the centre <>f our warmest affec
tion. It was made fora nation’s reverence
—it has earned a nation’s gratitude. Place
can lentl it no dignity, higher than its own.
The office to which Washington gave lustre,
is the sphere to which its greatness belongs..
Against out principles, sustained by such
a champion, what opposition do we find ar
rayed! So far os the discord, which tesults.
from unsettled principles anil conflicting
personal ambition, has permitted any thing:
like certainty to spting finm the action of
our opponents, it seems that hey have noth
ing to offer, but another trial of the same
men and the same tneasittes already, so sig
nally, overthrown. What they can promise
to themselves Imm such a policy, it is not
easy for us to imagine, nor is it needful that
we should inquire. It nvy be, that their
estimate of popular intelligence and consis
tency suggests to them, that reprobation by
the people, four years since', furnishes the
suiest guaranty of the people's admiration
now ! Perhaps they hate some hope that
their ch rnpions may gain in sympa hy, as
political martyrs, what was denied to them,
in respect, ns political saints! Be that, how
ever, as it may, to them—to us, the revival
of the old war-cry hut revives, in tenfold
force, every element of our former tesist
anre. \\ e deem their men and measures
now—as we deemed them, when they last
tecuived sentence of condemnation- un
worthy the confidence of the country —hos-
tile to all that can promote her welfare
dangerous to the purity and the peimanen
cy of her excedent institutions. Four years
cannot have not made political corruption
less corrupt, nor political imbecility less itn
bet ie. They ate now, what they were be
fore. They can We discomforted now,
they were routed then ! Let our fellow
Whigs, therefore, apply themselves to the
task. It is easy, but it is of solemn import.
Let the young men of the nation gather
themselves together ! The country has treed
of their united deliberations.
We have lately exctretfonrseTresy not Oi>-
successfully, herein Marylai and, to make our
Slate a proper rallying ground, for the
Great Whig Council. We have shown,
to out country men, a Whig victory, thor
ough and glorious, as the best pledge of our
devotion to the common cause. We pre
sent them a regenerated Commonwealth, aa
our Worthiest and most acceptable offeittig.
It is to the Whig city of Baltimore—
Whig, at last, from centre to circumference
—that we bid them make their pilgrimage
of duty. Oor banner is hut waiting t< be
unfurled hy their hands. Our homes are
open, to receive them, as our hearts will be,
to give them welcome.
Come Then, fellow-citizens, from far
and near.. Let llte East and the West as
semble in fellowship ! Let the olden broth
erhood of the North and the South be once
more cemented, hy a common devotion to
a lighteous cause. That cause and its suc
cess demand yonr presence ! We shall bft
prepared to greet you !
