Al'er an inlerva! of two or ihiee year* the vi sian was repeated, wi Ii nearly the same, circumstances, except that the aspect ol the person who appeared to present htmscll, , was mare severe, and expressive of displea sine. a his past if linqumcy.

IBs rdsr ss was rais d to the higb «.i degree in the c Hid of his mind be tween what he thought a sensible demon Itralioo id a supei natural requisition, and an invincible consciousness ol his own in competency and Ins fear to d ) an injury to the true religion by his failure. Alter con sulting several u! Ids friends upon the sub ject, lie at leng h addressed u letter to the author, stating all the circumstances which have just been detail 'd. He was answered with the guneial reasonings contained in this lecture, to convince him that hi* vision was merely a consequence of nervous till d (ion, resulting fr•-sti bodilv dis irder.

But it was replied that there were other considerations combined with the whole system and harmony of nature, Which ought to have greater autlmri'y with • rational mind than any single and indivi dual impression ol sense, which evidently vioia’es its general order. The correspoo deuce camo to this issue at Inst, that as hr agreed with the church as she now < xiita in must of her doctrines, and t>pecially ii (he moral precep’s of religion, he should begin hi* course by including only thusu principles ou width all were agreed, and it ht found the promise of hi* vision verified in hi* returning stremg'h and successful «• loquence, he would then have sufficient en couragement to proceed further. He actu ally same to New-Voik wuh the intention to put this experiment iota execution, but died iu that city shortly as er his landing. He published one discourse introductory to the design. Mr. Rush his recorded numerous iusNu ces of partial mental derangement bum hy pochoiidriasis, chiefly from hi* own knowl edg ', A sea Captain believed that ho had a W’ilt iu his liver; othets that they are coo verted into an animal «f another species, such as a goose, a dog, a cat, a hare, a cow, and the like One imagined thu he was once a call, and mentions the name of the uteller that killed him, and the stall in Ihe . luladelphU market, on which hi* flesh was sold, pruvinu-ly to his animating his present body.

Tims the ,j President is literally crucified betwen two y thieves I I have nothing to say about cunt e binations and coalitions / but one thing 1 e will say—that, in my opinion the fag ends of parties are determined to use eveiy means in their power, to thwart the views i of the President. e The conduct us some of our Southern Sen iators in voting to reject Mr Van Buren, has not, in my opinion, materially strengthened 1 our cause. I (ear it has produced an apathy with some of our New Yoik friends. 1 con fets 1 am at a loss to account for their con | duct myself. You will see by reference to the debate* in secret session, that the osten sible reason assigned by the opposition, tor his rejection, was his instructions to Mr. McLane in relation to the west India 'Trade. Ido not blame Mr. Clay and hi* ' faction for rejecting him on that account It was to bo expected that the man who, by • his ncg'igence, had lost that valuable tiado, e and filled in repeated efforts to regain it, ! would hardly ho honorable enough to com rmend the man who had sagacity enough to - regain it. But it is strange —nay, passing • strange, that Mr. Calhoun and his parti/.aos t should join in the massacre.
