American Democrat. (Macon, Ga.) 1843-1844, September 13, 1843, Image 4
The following personal sketches are
well worth the space they occupy. It is
from Thomas’s Reminiscences of the last
sixty-five years:
JOHN RAXDOLPIT.
On a bright, sunny morning, early in
February, 1796, might have l>een seen
entering my Book-store, in Charleston.'
S. C., a fine looking, florid complexioned
old gentleman, with hair as white as
snow; which, contrasted with his com
plexion, showed him to have been a free
liver, or bon vivant , of the first order.
Along with him was a tall, gawky-look
ing, flaxen-haired stripling, apparently of
the age of from sixteen to eighteen, with
a camplexion of a good parchmeht color
beardless chin, and as much assumed
self consequence as any two-footed ani
mal I ever saw: this was John Rando'ph.
I hanced him from the shelves volume
after volume, which he tumbled careless
ly over and handed back again : at length
he hit upon something that struck his
fancy—iny eye happened to be fixed up
on his face at the moment, and never did
I witness so sudden, so perfect a change
of human countenance ; that which be
fore was dull and heavy, in a moment
became animated, and fladu and with the
brightest beams of intellect; he stepped
up to the old gray-headed gentleman, and,
giving him a thundering slap on the
shoulder, said, “Jack, look at this !” I
was young then, but 1 never can forget
the thought that rushed upon my mind
at the moment, which was, that he was
that he was the most impudent youth I
ever saw.
“ lie had come to Charleston to attend
the races.
There was then living in Charleston a
Scotch baronet, by the name of Sir John
Ncsbit, with his younger brother, Alex
ander, of the ancient house of Nesbits, of
Dean Hall, some fifteen miles from F,din
burg. Sir John was a very handsome
man, and as “ gallant , gay Lothario ,”
as could be found in the cily. lie and
Randolph became intimate, which led to
a banter between them fora race, in which
each was to ride his own horse. The
race came off during the race week, and
Randolph won—some of the Indies ex
claiming at the time, “ though Mr. Ran
dolph had won the race, Sir John had
won their hearts.” This was not so much
to be wondered at, when you contrasted
the elegant form and graceful style of ri
ding of the baronet, with the uncouth
and awkward manner of his competitor.
“Some two or three years after this
visit to Charleston, he was elected a mem
ber of Congress, and such was still his
youthful appearance, that when lie ap
peared at the Clerk’s table to qualify, that
gentleman could not refrain from asking
him his age: the answer was prompt, if
not satisfactory—“ask my constituents,
sir,” was the reply. John Adams was
then President, and Mr. Randolph took a
decided part against his administration.
Congress was silting in Philadelphia, and
Mr. Adams’ “ hot water war with France”
being then on the tapis, the latitude Mr.
Randolph gave his tongue in debate oc
casioned his being assaulted in the lobby
of the theatre, by an officer of the army
or navy, 1 do not reeojlect which, or who
he was; but Mr. Randolph made a for
mal complaint, which, to the best of my
memory met with but a cold reception.
Party runs high enough now, and much
too high for the good of the conn ry ; but
lie who supposes it never rose
knows nothing of the period to which 1
allude.
Among the members of Congress, Mr
Randolph had hut few personal friends
but those few he “riveted to his heart
with hooks of steel.” Among them was
the Hon. Mr. Bryan from Georgia; the
late Governor David R. Williams, of So.
Carolina, and the still later venerable Na
thaniel Macon, of North Carolina. At
the close of a session, soon alter the re
moval of Congress to Washington, the
former of these gentlemen (Mr. Bryan)
married a daughter of Gen. Foreman, of
Maryland, and with her and her sister
spent some days in Charleston, when on
their way to his estate in Georgia. On
this occasion, Mr. Bryan showed me a
letter which he had just received from
Randolph, congratulating him upon his
marriage. A letter of more beautiful
simplicity and feeling, I never read. 1
recollect that, while the writer dwelt up
the happiness and advantages to be ex
pected from a wedded life, lie spoke feel
ingly of never expecting to enjoy them
himself.
The following beautiful extract is from
the writings of Frederika Bremery
Genius and its Powers. —“lt gives
gladness, gladness, to the world, gladness
to the soul of every man ! Light to the
past, power to the present, hope for com
ing days. 1 lave you seen the graves and
the ruins upon the earth! Have you
seen nations and thrones vanish away?
—seen how those who have done works
of love and heroic acts, sink into the si
lent grave ?—how ashes cover the splen
did temples, and how mists hangs over
and obscures the sepulchres of heroes,
and how every tiling, every thing passes
away from the actual world ?
“But who is the glorious One who
Scatter-; the clouds with flaming glances,
and causes the spirits of the departed to
live again in gloried forms ? the immor
tal bard, who preserves the memory of
nations, tiieir struggles, their victories,
their wounds, the treasures which they
gained, and which one age inherits from
another ; who causes 11s to weep 10-dav
at the sufFeriofl*- ,! * J ' •>
cum to rejoice at UK*
erent aetiCus winch have passtd away lor
thousands of years? Bright dawn ot
morning to the world sunk 111 darKuess,
Genius, it is thou ?
“When the spirit speaks, then is the
heart of nations expanded; immortal
wor ds which lay there slumbering,w ake
ajrain. Men look up, a.d perceive am w
their nobler selves, they btcoyie belter,
aaor«i laving, »u •i happiar.
“Dark clouds pass over the earth.—
There are autumn nights when all the
stars of heaven are obscured, and the
heart of man is sick of life, of all around
him,of himself. No animating feeling
dwells in his heart, no tear comes to his
eye, wherever lie looks it is night, an in
the darkness are pale, frightful shadows
—and the air which he breathes suffo
cates hi in. Then ! what flashes out of
file eloud, and makes the night clear,and
permits us to see the beautiful spirits
which were hidden behind file clouds,
and which now smile down upon us /
It is genius, it is the great artist! llis
lightning flash has touched the heart of
the unhappy ram, he has wept, his suf
ferings aie alleviated ; yet another beam
of light, another glimpse of the divine
countenance, and lie looks us with hoj>e
and courage.
“And when a nation bleeds, when a
deep wound has been struck at its heart,
and it seems as ifi:s strength, its free
dom, its noblest liie, must pass away un
der the hand of the executioner; who is
it who, even then, speaks of better days,
who raises again the fallen eagie, and al
low his eye again to look at the eternal
sun l Comforter of the cast down, Seer
md Prophet of the mysteries of Cod,
Genius, all hail !
“Who makes nature glorious? who
understands her language, reads the si
lent hymn of the flowers, and compre
hends the thoughts in the songs of the
birds? Who listens to the spirits of the
mountain gnd the river, and to the voice
of God in the rolling thunder, in the
rustling fore-1, and explains to man the
works of God in nature !
“Thou wonder-worker, though life in
life, thou mightv hand, thou who bindest
together time &, eternity, ever-renewing,
ever-producing power, thou who lookest
on the path of the sun, and on the heart
of man, thou who seekest out the essence
of the Divinity, and the life of the little
flower, we conceive tiiee not, Lut we
know well whence thou art !
“Man fell, and the spirit went astray
in dark dreams; hut the jubilee of a higher
reached him. O ! then the scat
tered features united in a heavenly smile,
the misty figures of his dream received
life and color, and all his recollections
stood lip in bright light—a beam of
God's brightness, genius smiles upon the
earth, and illuminates tlic dark reality,”
THE ACTOR’S CIILD.
‘Shade of Kemble! ejaculated Ward,
at that time manager for Jefferson .Mack
enzie, B tltiaiorc; ‘here it is past 7 o’clock,
and crook’d backed Richard not in his
dressing room.
‘My dear sir !’ said the most original of
all men, the iinpurturable Thomas W.
Gardner, do not be precipitate, when the
late Daniel Reed ’
‘And you love me, Hal,‘ interrupted the
stage manager, ‘go the devil,’ and then
the poor manager chazzeed, as was his
wont —with his hands clasped in agony, I
from one side of the Holiday street stage ;
to the other.
‘Ring in the first music, sir?’ inquired
the called boy, who scratched his head
and seemed to enjoy the despair of the
manager.
‘King*? You redheaded imp of Satan
you juvenile Caliban, get out of my sight,
or I’ll wring your neck off.”
Away went the call boy, and away
went the imn isrjr. Ward searched ev
ery bar room in the vicinity of the thea
tre, for the great tragedian, but all in
vain. At last a little boy came running
to him, almost breathless with fatigue,
and to and him that Mr. B >o h was in a It ty
loft in Front street. The manager found
a crowd of peop e gathered around the
building in question, and he had some
difficulty in edging himse.f through tlie
dense mass, t'limbing up a rou h lad
der, he cautiously raised liis head above
the floor ot the second story, and there lie
saw the object of his search seated on a
rafter, with a wreath of straw about his
temples iu imitation of a crown.
‘Booth !’ said the manager imploring
ly, ‘lor Heaven’s sake, come down ! It is
nearly eight o’clock, and the audience
will pull tlie theatre to piecies !’
The - tragedian fixed his dark eye on
the intruder, and raising his right arm
majestically, lie thundered forth,
1 am seated on my throne 7
A- proud a one as yon distant mountain,
Wliere liie sail makes Ids last stand !’
‘Come, my dear tellow, let’s go ; we’ll
have a glass of brandy and a supper, and
all that. Gome, please conic.’
Booth descended gracefully from his
yellow ftine throne, and kissing the tips
of liis fingers replied with a smile, ‘I at
tend you with ail becoming grace. Lead
on, my lord of Essex. To the tower—to
tlie tower.’
After a litllc persuasion, Ward led tlie ,
tragedian to the theatre, got him dressed, |
the curtain rose, and tne play went on.
Just as tlie second act was about to com
mence, a messenger covered with dust,
rushed behind the stage, and lieforo h> e
could be stopped, was in earnest couve r
sution with the tragedian.
‘What ?’ said Booth as he pressed pj s
long fingers on Ins broad, white ten; r,^ s
as though lie tried to clutch the bra
neath, ‘dead, say you ? My poo' c
child -my loved, "my beautiful i OUL . y
And then seeing the curtain j ie
rushed on, commencing,

The beautiful seen > haw *>, y im an( j
«as never better • Toe
actor, hhe noblest ot them , ail,’ when lie
chose to be, gave t 10 wo ,-di of the bard
| with thill mg efleet ; b .ut there v\u> a
I strange cat unless at 101 U his manner that
to and nis mind was not, upon tlie charac
ter. Still tiie iilUitib lie applauded until
j the o and roof rang tig ran, and those belli ;d
the scene stood m eat mess with eager de
light. The third act ea.ne 011; but Booth
was 110 where to» be found 1 * * *
l It witt a UitUif eoid night, and tin* f*r
mer as he' drove his wagon to market,
was start ed from his reverie, as he saw u
horseman wraped in a large cloak, which
as it opened disc osed a glittering dress
beueatn, ride rapidly past him.
It was Booth m his Richard costume !
Madness had se.zod him, and regardless ;
of every thing, at the stili hour of mid
night, he was going to pay a visit to his
dead child. Drawing his flashing sword,
and throwing his jewelled hat Irom his
head, he lasiicd ins horses flaiiK with the
bare weapon, until file annual snorted in
pain. T.ie tali dark trees on each side of
tnui touched his healed Lrow with their
silver frosted branches, and thinking
they were men sent in pursuit, tut* mud
itcloi cut at them with ins sword, and
cursed them as lie lied rapidly by.
At last, iil'tei a gallant ride of two
hours, the horseman came in sight ol a
' country graveyard, and ne saw liie white
tops oi tne monuments peeping through
tue and irk loliage, like siiovvy crests upon
1 tlie besom ot uio b ack bihow, he raised
Ia shout wi.d enough to have scared tne
ghosts from their slid graves. He dis
mounted, and away sped the rideless
horse over lull and date. It was the
jvork of u moment, (and tne insane are
ciiiitiuig beyond iinrguiiiig) to wrench
the wooden door from the vault contain
ing tlie body of liis clnid. He seized tlie
tiny coffin m his arms, with tlie strong
arm of a de perate man he tore open die
lid, and in a moment more the cod Hue
lips of the child were glued to the mad
actor’s !
The next morning some member of
the tragedian’s family heard a wild strain
of laughter that seemed to proceed from
his sleeping room. Tne door was forced
open, and Booth was discovered lying on
his bed, gibbering in idiotic madness, and
caressing tlie corp.se of his little one !

American Cottons. —The N. York
True Sun, of the l lth inst. says, “There
seems to be little doubt that we shall soon
driven profitable export trade with Eng-’
laud in home manufactured cotton sheet
-1 ings and shirtings. Orders from London
i for upwards oi a thousand bales of low
' priced cottons have recently been receiv
ed in Boston. With China, too. there is
! every prospect oi’ a brisk trade in tlie
: same articles. With the materia', co n
i paritive y speaking, at our own doors, and
all the new improvements in machinery
at command, we see no reason why we
should not hteak up the monopoly which
England and France have so long enjoy
ed in supplying tlie Western market with
; cotton fabrics. The difference in wages
here and in Europe is not of the same
consequence now that it was fifteen years
ago. Manual labor lias been, to a great
extent superseded by machinery, and all
that is to ae done by machinery can he
accomplished as cheap.y here as in Eng

Important D cision. —We learn
from the, Louisville Journal, that on the
25th nit. the Chancellor of Kentucky, the
II in. G o. M. Bibb, decided tlie great case
of Until vs. the Bank of die U. States.
By a statute of Kentucky whenever a !
debtor makes a fraudulent disposition of|
his property, iiis creditor may file a hill
in chancery and attach, whether his deb ,t
be due or not due. Under that statu’ P
Louis Unfit filed his bill and attacl 10 q
for about SSM,UUO upon bonds niatu c \ n , r

on the allegation that the bank had made
fraudulent assignments of its pr ope,ty,
and the hi I attacked especia'ly ' deed

Atrocious Mubu Kll ._One of the
mou painful duties w e ev er p *rf< nnod is
now before us—in r the melan
choly and tragical murder in this coun
ty, oil the Hill ifi tj 0 f Mrs. Mary Ann
Chapman, wife o' / Joseph Chapman, and
daughter of the 1 i{ , te Col. Barnard John
son. The cin niinstance attending this
most unfortun: ,f 3 a nd heart-rending oc
currence, are thus detai'ed to us by a
triend: Duri n or i ie r husband’s absence
tro n home, she was by some means en
ticed by t! le negroes into a corn-tie and
about 150 or 2()() yards from the house,
and there murdered by one of them, by
means o' a ro p e thrown over neck in a
running - noose. Alter being thus strang
led, shi , \ Vas carried to the oppo ite side
°f l - ie field, dragged over the fence so vi
° l ‘ ntl .y as to leave some of her hair torn
out upon the rails; and thence taken
son ,<v f,() yards further into a thicket, and
thi . body then concealed under the hark
ni id rotten pieces of an old log. This
r tecurred, it is supposed, between 10 and
11 o’clock in the morning. Mr. Chap
man caino home about usual dinner time,
and enquiring for Mrs. Chapman, was
! told that she had gone to visit one ol the
neighbors, lie consequently experienced
but little uneasiness about her absence,
: though thinking it a little strange, at the
' same time, that she should ride an ani
' mal of which she had been unusually
; afraid. He awaited her return until
dark, when, she not appearing, he order
ed his horse and thought he would nde
over to Mrs. Newman's, her aunt, whom
he had heard her say she intended vwt
i lg. Not findingicr there or at any of
the neighbor's ho 1 • ; wlure lie went, lie
becam • alarmed, suspecting that all was
11 it right. Procuring the assistance of
some neighbor;, he arrested three 01 his
negroes; search was made that night,
and on die following day, when she was
found m the situation above stated. Tiie
lior.se lie was told she had rode was.also
found i:i a thicket about half a mile from
the house, with his brains knocked out
by a large piece of timber.
Mrs. Chapman was in the 23d year of
her age, and lias left a husband, two
brothers and three small children (the
youngest mi infant of G months) to mourn
her loss. In this irreparable loss a wide
breach has been made in the bosom of
her lriends and relatives which time can
not efface, or memory forget. ,
Much excitement, we understand, was i
produced by the circumstaiic s, and at a
meeting of some 400 or 5(10 citizens, the.
question was submitted whether the ne
groes should be burnt upon the spot of
the murder. Much to their credit, how
ever, it was agreed that the law shou.d
be permitted to take its cour e, and the
negroes were according y committed to
jail on Tue. day last. Tire principal in
the tragedy says that be killed his for
mer master iu another State, and was
run oif to tli is. — Sula Tree l J ress.

will bear aloft his truly Democratic banner. It will al

Presidential office to ne term —not only in justice to
the distinguished public men ol the nation, but as more
consume.! to the genius of our Republican institutions
and more conducive m a faithful and independent ad
