The Washington Oration.
Hon. Edwaud Evr.nF.rr delivered his
oration on the life and character of
Washington, yesterday afternoon at the
Presbyterian Church, according to pre- j
vious announcement. It was one of
these great occasions, to which tire small
arts of a newspaper reporter are entire
ly inadequate. Any impression we
might attempt to make upon the reader
would be like the merest painters daub,
compared to the reality -and we need
only remark, that he held the vast au
dience completely spell-bound for over
two hours by the witchery of his elo
quence, the glowing lfeauty of his
imagery, and the power and pathos of
his sentiments. These efforts of Mr. :
Everett are the crowning laurels in the |
bright wreath of fame which his bvil- j
liant attainments and exalted patriot
ism have won for him in the arena of
literature, statesmanship, and the pri- ;
vate walks of life, and will live in the
memories of tlioscwho heard him as long ;
as they retain the impression of the ex- |
altcd, the pure and beautiful.
Mr. Everett was introduced to the
audience by Judge IVm. T. Gould, and
the stand was occupied by Mayor Conley,
Mr. Gould and C. J. Jenkins.
Mr. Everett left this morning for j
Charleston, where ho will repeat his ,
oration.

Fatal Affray. .
James Morris was shot Thursday night
last, near Harrisburg, one of the suburbs
of this city, by Wm. A. Pardee.
We learn that Mr. Pardee was acting ]
on the defensive. Morris had assault
ed him during the day, and he came to j
the city for the purpose of taking out a j
peace warrant, and on returning, Mor- i
ris attacked him with a stick. Pardee ''
urged him to desist, but he refused to
do so, when Pardee shot him. He was j
examined before Magistrates and dis- ;
charged. ,

Independent Meeting.
Last night, pursuant to published no
tice, a number of the Independent vo
j tors of Augusta, desirous of electing a
| City Government untrammeled by par-
Ity ties, met at the City Hall; and after
] considerable delay, Mr. Sam'l Goodman
I was called to the Chair.
Nominations for a Secretary were
] made without success, as the nominee
] declined serving. A motion was then
| made and carried, that Mr. Goodman
! act as Chairman and Secretary. This
j gentleman then proceeded to explain
! the object of the meeting, when some
j person turned oil' the gas, which put a
! stop to the speaker’s gas, and loft the
j assembly quite in the dark, as to the re
[sult of affairs.
I Tlie Chairman thereupon exclaimed,
that “ he must have more light on the
subject!” when the meeting unani

| Commodores Decatur and Barron.
THEIR FATAL DUEL.
] “From your manner of proceeding it
] appears to me that you have come to
the determination to fight some one,
land that you have selected me for that
j purpose; and I must take leave to ob
serve, that your object would have been
jbetter attained had you made this de
j cision during our late war, when your
] lighting might have benefited your
country as well as yourself.”
| To this long letter Barron replied that
a punch more laconic answer would
i have suited his purpose, which was. to
[obtain at his hands honorable redress
j for the accumulated insults which he in
| particular,of all his enemies, had at
tempted to heap upon him, in every
jshapein which they could be offered. —
No consideration (says he) no power or
'authority on earth could or ought to
have forced any liberal, high minded
man to sit in a case which he had pre
judged. He pronounces the report that
lie had said. 11 If the Chesapeake had been
j prepared for action he would not have
resisted the attack of the Leopard," a
falsehood—a malicious, ridiculous, ab
]surd, and improbable falsehood —which
no man would credit who did not wish
j to make the public believe him an idiot.
With regal'd to his absence from the
I country during the war, lie says that
Decatur, in searchidg the Navy Depart
ment for charges against him, might
| have found there his letter applying for
■service, as soon as an opportunity offer
ed, after his suspension expired. But
S his letter of application for service liaa
not even been honored with an answere,
rand what hope bad be for employment?
In speaking of Decatur's efforts to bar
I his readmission into the service, he
says he has a motive, not to be concealed
’from the world. Respecting the chal
lenge he says, “It is true you have nev
er given me a direct, formal and writ
■ ten invitation to meet you in the field,
[such as one gentlemen of honor ought to
|send to another. But if your own ad
i missions, that you would meet me if I
wished it, do not amount to a challenge,
] then I cannot comprehend the object or
import of such declarations. All I de
mand is, to be placed on equal grounds
with yon.”
i • 1 On the subject of dueling I perfect
ly co-incide with the opinions you have
expressed. I consider it as a barbarous
pratice, which ought to be exploded
] from civilized society. But, Sir, there
may be cases of such extraordinary and
aggravated insult and injury received by
an individual, as to render an appeal to
j arms on liis part absolutely necessary.
] Mine I conceive to be a case of thatde
1 scription.”
Decatur responds that he was not
’ challenged nor does he intend to chal
lenge him. “Ido not consider it es
sential to my reputation that I should
\ notice any thing which may come from
you, the more particularly when you
declare your sole object in wishing to
'draw the challenge from me is, that you
:may avail yourself of the advantages
] which rest with the challenged. It is
j evident that you think, or your friends
[for you, that a fight will help you ; but
lin fighting, you wish to incur the least
. possible risk. Now, sir, not believing
I that a fight of this nature will raise me
lat all in public estimation, but may
j even have a contrary effect, Ido not feel
i at all disposed to remove the difficulties
that lie in our way. If we fight, it
■ must be of your seeking, and you must
j take all the risk and all the inconven
ience which usually attend the chal
lenger in such cases.”
] Decatur concludes by saying, “I have
■ now to inform you that I shall pay no
i farther attention to any communication
you may make to me, other than a di
lict call to the field.”
To this Barron, replies, January IC,
; 1820, “Whenever you will consent to
meet me on fair and equal grounds,
that is, such as two honorable men may
] consider just and proper, you are at lib
jerty to view this as a call, lhe whole
tenor of your conduct to me justifies
this course of proceeding on my part.”
On the 24th Decatur accepts the call
and refers Barron to his friend Commo
dore Cambridge as authorized to make
Till necessary arrangements. Barron re
| plies, February 0, that Decatur’s com
] inunication found him confined to his
| bed with a bilious fever, and it was
J eight days after its arrival before he
] had been able to read it, and that as
soon as he was in a situation to write,
Decatur should hear from him to the
point. Barron probably wrote a final
note, but it is not published. This then
closed the correspondence.
Ihe contest was likely to prove an
unequal one. t Decatur was esteemed to
have no superior in the use of the pis
tol. His skill and precision were the
theme of common remark. Besides this,
- ho had been a duelist almost from liis
. boyhood, and was well versed in all the
t practices and technicalities of the
code. It is related of him that, when a
young lieutenant, having been treated
r with great discourtesy at Philadelphia
; by an officer of an India ship, he chal
lenged him, by the advice of his father.
5 Before going to the field, Decatur de
[ dared his intention not to inflict a mor-!
tal injury on his antagonist, but to]
1 wound him in the hip. He did so, es-1
! caping himself unhurt. He had been j
s engaged in other difficulties, and al
! ways with success.
On the other hand, Barron labored
under one great disadvantage. He wav
1 near-sighted. In conflict where so
- much depends on a quick and accurate
- aim, he was thoroughly conscious how
much the chances wore against him in
consequence of this deficiency, to say
[ nothing of his own want of experience
3 and Decatur's acknowleded superiorly as
-a marksman. This circumstance will
account for the persistent endeavors ex
hibed by Barron in his correspondence
to draw the challenge from Decatur,
that he might secure “ the privilege al
lowed to the challenged party in rela
, tion to the choice of weapons, distance,
etc.” If he could succeed in doing this,
a he hoped to be able to name such terms
as would, iu some degree, remedy his
own deficiencies, and place him as near
ly as possible on an equal footing with
r his more skilful antagonist. But this
e could not be done. He plainly saw that
if lie expected to meet Decatur at all,he
3 himself must give the challenge and
I take the risks. In wording his invita
,- tion,therefore, he expressly stipulates
for such terms, in effect, as he would
• have had the right to name had the in
■ vitation come from Decatur ; terms by
. which no advantage would result to
Decatur from his nearness of vision and
want of experience. For, he says,
i “ Whenever you will consent to meet
f me on fair and equal grounds, that is
j such as two honorable men may consid
er just and proper, you are at liberty to
1 view this as a call.”
s The great difficulty, therefore,was to j
make such arrangements for the meet
ing as under the circumstances would
be considered “ fair and equal.” From
the fact that nearly seven weeks inter
vened between the. date of the last note
; and the day named for the duel, it is
, inferred Unit there was much negotia
tion between the seconds before every-:
; thing was shaped to the satisfaction of
. each. The arrangements, however, j
i were at length concluded, the time fix
• ed was the 22d of March ; the place,the
• giound near Bladensburg; the weapons,
• pistols, and the distance eight pacts.
It was also provided that each party,
; after being placed, should raise his pis-;
1 to] and take a deliberate aim at the other
i before the word to fin tv as given. This, it
i was considered, was due to Barron on ]
i account of his defective vision, and was
. deemed to be placing them as nearly on i
- an equality as possible.
Os the spirit and intentions with
■ which they went into the contest little
> is known. It is said of Decatur, that,
1 when he received the challenge, he
■ turned to Commodore Rodgers, after
t reading it, and remarked that nothing
i could induce him to take the life of
j Barron. He subsequently stated to Mr.
L Wirt, who was in his confidence, that he
did not wisli to meet Barron, and that
i “ the duel was forced upon him.” Ou
l the morning of the duel, “while at
. breakfast,” remarks Mr. Hambleton,
• “he was quite cheerful, and did not ap
; pear to have any desire to take the life
of his antagonist; indeed, he declared
; that lie should be very sorry to do so.”
The parties met on the 22d of March,
- iB2O, in the same field upon which Ma
t son had fallen thirteen months before.
1 Commodore Decatur was attended by
, Captain William Bainbridge as his se
? eond, and Commodore Barron by Capt.
: Jessee O. Elliott. Several other gentle
i men were also present, among whom
1 were Captains Rodgers and Porter, Dr.
- Washington and Mr. Hambleton.
After the principals had been placed
- in their respective positions, each with
, pistol in hand, and ready for the con
) test which was to result so disastrously
- to Decatur, and to spead such sorrow
1 over the land, Barron addressed Deca
, tur, and observed : “ Sir, I hope, on
r meeting in another world, we shall be
- better friends than in this.” Decatur
s responded : 11 1 have never been your
enemy, sir.” Nothing more was said,
but each now waited the word
s While standing thus, only ten paces
s distant, each covered by the pistol of
1 the other, the word was pronounced.—
: Botli fired, and fired so nearly at the
1 same instant, that there seemed to be
t but one report.
■ Both fell. Decatur was apparently
. shot dead and Barron, to all appearance,
mortally wounded. But Decatur re
vived after a while, and was supported
: a short distance, when he Sauk down
■ again near his antagonist.
Then it was, as they lay on the
! ground weltering in blood, with their
i heads not ten feet apart, that a conver
i sation took place between them, of
i which it is to be regretted that only
i fragments have been preserved. The
■ interview was inexpressibly affecting, ]
i reminding, one, says an eye-witness, ]
: “of the closing scene of a tragedy— :
. Hamlet and Laertes. Barron proposed ,
, that they should make friends before ]
; they met in heaven, for he supposed ]
■ ibey would both die immediately. De-j
catur said he had never been his enemy; j
that he freely forgave him iu’» death, .
though he could not forgive those who!
had stimulated him to seek his life.— I
One report says that Barron exclaimed, I
•Would to God that you had said thus
much yesterday!’ Their lust interview
was a friendly one, and they parted in
peace. Decatur knew he was to die,
and his oniy sorrow was that be had j
not died in the service of his country.” ;
As Decatur was being placed in the j
carriage, Barron said to him : ‘ ‘Every j
tiling has been conducted in the most j
honorable manner, and I forgive you I
from the bottom of my heart.”
Decatur was conveyed to Washington,
where he expired just before eleven
o’clock on the same night, at his resi
dence, near Lafayette Square. His
house is still standing. It is the same
that was occupied by Mr. Livingston,
while Secretary of State in the adminis
tration, of President Jackson, and sub
sequently by Mr. Van Buren, while
Vico President of the United States.
Barron was also borne to Washing
ton, where he was confined by his
wound until the 10th of April, when,
being able to travel, he left for his home
at Hampton, in Virginia.

What a country.
The ISew Coalition.
There can no longer beany doubt that
certain leading politicians have on toot
a scheme for the organization of a new
political party preparatory to the Presi
dential contest of 1800. Several of the
apposition journals have from time to
time let fall vague hints that such was
tlie case ; a Republican member of Con
gress indicated it pretty clearly in a
speech in the House a few weeks since ;
and the Times and Tribune, embolden
ed, no doubt, by what they profess to
believe is an irreparable breach in the
! Democratic party, have openly advoca
ted it in their columns. In alluding
j briefly to some of these evidences of
: fusion a few days since, we stated that
the new organization would bo com
: posed of the entire Black Republican
party, a few Southern Know Nothings,
and the disaffected Democrats. Its
| leading spirits and managers-in-chief
■ will be Messrs. Seward, Danglas and
i ! Crittenden ; and though the platform,
I upon which the different elements that
. are to compose the fusion will unite
>; and go before the country, is not yet
definitely agreed upon, a pretty correct
■ j idea may be formed of what its complex
• ion will be from the political characters
j of those who are to have most to do in
framing it. Mr. Seward considers the
Presidency and Congress as already se
cured by reason of the preponderance of
the free States ; and regarding the Su
' preme Court, as he no doubt does, as the
only obstacle to the full accomplish
ment of his purposes, he will insist, upon
the remodelling of that institution as
his strong plank in the new platform,
•fudge Douglas will be satisfied with a
recognition of the doctrine of popular
sovereignty, as he now enterprets it;
and Mr. Crittenden will content him
self with some slight modification of
the naturalization laws. Upon this, or
a somewhat similar platform, the new
'organization will be framed, and go in
to the canvass of 1860. To defeat the
democratic party and get possession cf i
the government, it will make a fierce
and desperate struggle. That its suc
cess would result in a breaking down of
j the constitution and an early disruption
iof the confederacy, there can scarcely 1
be a doubt. The leading idea upon [
! which it would administer the govern- (
ment, and the sectional character of
those whom it would place in power, !
would override the political rights of
the minority section, and leave it with
out the power to enforce its equality or
independence within the Union.— Union.

THE LIVER
INVIGORATOR!
PREPARED BY I)H. SANFORD’S
COMPOUNDED EATIIiELY FROM
G-UMS,
I" s ONE OK THE BEST PURGATIVE
JL and Liver Medicines novc before tbe public,
, Butt ac ls ;t: a CATHARTIC, easier, milder, aud
more ellectuai than any other medicine known,
j It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver rente y,
, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid mat
; ter, then on the stomach and bowels to carry ofl
j matter, thus accomplishing two purposes
; effectually, without any of the painful feeling?
: experienced in the operations of most Cathartics,
i It strengthens the system at the same time that
it purges it; and when taken daily iu moderate
doses, will strengthen and build it up with un
usual rapidity.
The Liver is one of
the principal regula
tors of the human
body, and when it per
forms its f unctions
well, the powers of the
system aro fully do
voloped. The stomach
is almost entirely de
pendent on the healthy
action of the Liver for
the proper perform
ance of its functions ;
when the stomach is
at fault, and the whole
system suffers in con
sequence of one organ
—the Liver,—having
ceased to do its duty j
For thedh< C6of lliut
organ, one of the pro
prietors has made it
his study, in a prac
tice of more than 20
years, to find some re
medy w bjerowith to
counteract tbe many
derangements towbicb
it is liable
To prove that this
remedy is at last
found, any
trouble 1 wi ih Lhor t
Complaint, in any of its 1
forms, has but to tryja i
bottle, aud conviction I
is certain.
These Gums remove i
all morbid or bad mat- ’
ter from the system, i
applying in theiril
place a healthy flow of! |
bile, invigorating tlie| 1
stomach, causing food ]
0- ...-ai
I to digest well, purify
ingjtbe Moed, giving
( lane and health to the
i whole machinery, re-
I moving the cause of
l the disease, —effecting
| a radical cure.
I Bilious attacks are
j cured, and. what is
' better, prevented by
i the occasional use of
f the Liver Invigorator.
1 One dose after eating
is sufficient to relieve
- the stomach and pre-
Ivent the food from ri
| sing and souring.
[ only one dose taken
I before retiring, pre
-1 vents Niglitm ire.
Only one dose takeu
j ;it night, loosens the
■ bowels gently, and
f [cures Costiveness.
I j One dose taken after
' each meal will euro
j Dyspepsia,
i I One dose of two tea
-poonfuls will always
relievo Sick Headache.
One bottle taken for
(female obstructions,
(removes the cause of
the disease, and makes
a perfect euro.
Only one dose imme
diately relieves Cholic,
while
Oue dO3O often re
peated is assure cure
| lor Cholera Morbus,
and a preventive of
Cholera.
J Only oue bottle ia
needed to throw out ot the system the effects ol
medicine after a long sickness.
One bottle taken for Jaundice removes all sal
lowness or unnatural color from the skin.
One dose taken a short time bo ore eating
gives vigor to the appetite, and makes food di
gest weP.
One dose often repeated cures Chronic Diar
i rheea in its worst forms, while Summer aud
| Bowel Complaints yield almost to the first dose.
One or two doses cures attacks caused by
; Worm? in children, there is no surer, safer, or
I speedier remedy in the world, us it never fails.
) A lew bottles cures Dropsy, by exciting the
absorbents.
I Wo take pleasure in recommending this medi
] cine as a preventive for Fever and Ague, Chill
! Fever, and all Fevers of a Bilious Type. It ope
j rates with certainty, and thousands are willing,
j to testiiy to its wonderful virtues.
All who use it aro giving their unanimous tes
tirnony in its favor.
Mix Water in the mouth with the Invigorator,
and swallow both together.
The LIVER INVIGORATOR is a scientific Medi
cal Discovery, and is daily working cures, al
most too great to believe. It cures as if by ma
gic, even the first dose giving benefit, and seldom
more thau one bottle is required to cure any kind
of Liver complaint, from tlie worst Jaundice or
! By pepsia, to a common Headache, all of which
i are the result of a Diseased Liver.
