her whole frame was disturbed,she threw her fine eyes upwards, and exclaimed, “vanished*.” with a wild force, which showed that the whole spirit ot the temp tation had shrunk into her soul. The »Hail king that shall be !” was the wind ing up of the spell. It was pronounced with the grandeur of one already, in an tipation a queen. Her solitary summons to her distant lord followed like an invocation— “ Hie thee hither, That I may pour my spirit in thine car, And chastise with the valor of my toug-ue All that impedes thee from the golden round.” The murder scene was the next tri umph ; her acting was that of a trium phant fiend. I must follow these recol lections no further; but the most admira ble piece of dumb show that perhaps ever was conceived, was Iter ’‘banquet scene.” That scene, from the terrible business on the stage —the entra ce of 13 m pto’s ghost, the horrors of Maclteth, stricken in the moment of his royal exultation, and the astonishment and alarm of the courtiers —is one of the most thrilling and tumultuous. Yet Siddons sitting at the extremity of the royal hall, not hav ing a syllable to utter, and simply occu pied with courtesies to her guests, made her silence so expressive, that she more than divided the interest with the pow erful action going on in front. And when at last, indignant at Macbeth’s terrors, stung by conscience, and alarmed at the result of an upbreaking of the banquet with such rumors on their lips,she rushed towards her unhappy husband, and burst out wilh the words, still though but whispered, vet intensely poured into his passive car— “ Arc you a man ? Tills is the painting' of your lear! Tt|is is the air-drawn dagger, which, you said, Led you to Duncan ! Why do yon make such faces? When a!!’3 done, You look but on a stool!” In these accents all else was forgotten. 13ut her sleep-walking scene ! When shall we see its “second or its similar?” Nothing so solemn, nothing so awful was ever seen upon the stage. Yet it had one fault—it was too awful. She more resembled a majestic shade rising from the tomb, than a living woman, however disturbed by wild fear, and lofty passion. It is a remarkable instance of the genius of Shakspeare, that he here found the means of giving a human in terest to a being whom he had almost ex alted to the “bad eminence” of a mag nificent fiend. In this lam mis soliloquy, the thoughts wide once filled and fired her have vanished. Ambition lias died ; remorse lives in its place. The diadem has disappeared ; site thinks only of the blood that stains her forever. She is the queen no n ore, but an exhausted and unhappy woman, worn down by the sting of con cicnce, and with frame dying by the disease of her soul. But Siddons wanted the agitation, the j drooping, the timidity. She looked a liv-! ing statue. She spoke with the solemn tone of a voice from a shrine. She stupd more the sepulchral avenger of regicide, than the sufferer from its convictions. Her grand voice, her fixed and marble, countenance, and her silent step, gave | the impression of a supernatural being —the genius of an ancient oracle ; a tre mendous Nemesis. I have seen all the great tragedians of, the day; but I have never seen an equal to the sublime of this extraordinary ac tress. 1 have seen beauty, youth, touch ing sensibility, and powerful conception; but I never saw so complete a union ol them all, and that union was the sublime. Shakspeare must have bad some such form before bis mind’s eye, while be was , creating the wife of Macbeth—some mag- j nificcnt and regal countenance —some ' movement of native majesty—some ima ginary Siddons ; he could not have gone beyond the true. She was a living .Mel pomene. We cherish among our early recollec tions very distinct impressions of tins great actress ; and her grand, deep, mel ancholy voice, her imperial presence and air of irresistible command in Lady Mac beth, or Queen Katharine, remain deeply engraven in our memory. TWEEDLEDtIm and tweedledee. Those who think there is no differ ence between “tweedlet/wm and tweedle dee” show but a slight acquaintance with men and tilings in general. There is a profound distinction, mid we will give an example that happens to be fresli in our mind to prove it. Lis ten. In 1841, when Gen. Harrison rode into power upon the federal whirlwind, the cry rose up, from Maine to Georgia, from millions of throats—“ Turn out the focofoeos!” And they did turn them out, from the highest member ol the cab inet down to the lowest tide waiter. — There was one general sweep ; —neither age, nor qualification, nor necessity was regarded. That light-house keeper was poor ! No matter he is a locofoeo— tumble him out—let the wretch starve. What business has he to he a loeoloco? But he is old ! No matter. Send Inin to the poor-house. Out ! Out! —Out' with the whole crew ! The eiy was heard at the White House, and every of fice was emptied of its “loco-loco occu pant. That is the tweedledum of the matter. Now let us glance at the other side. President Tyler having adhered to his original opposition to a National Bank, and other well known federal measures, was deserted by the party that elected b|>n. The presses that once sustained him turned their hacks upon him. The office holders —p'aced in power by his predecessor or himself—used that power *o the injury of his administration. In Self-defence he places in subordinate offi ces democrats —men who will do him justice, while they adhere to their party •uul their principles. Mark the differ 'nee! What was all right in 1841 has >-eotno all wrong in 1843. Men now ‘uoiildtn be removed for political rea- sons. They are old—and should star/ i . They are qualified—and should star/ in. That is the tweedletfee of the matter. We commend these considerations to the special thought of our worthy friend ol the Portland Advertiser. DIFFERENT E tAAJTS OF THE DIS TRICT AND THE GENERAL TICKET SYSTEM ON THE RESULT OF A National convention. Any one, who will be Rt pains to run his eye over the following (of the cor rectness of which he may judge for him self,) will see at once the important mat ture of the difference, which now agi tates the Democratic party, as lo the mode of constituting the National Convention. It will not be deemed surprising if the friends of Mr. Calhoun, feeling they are right on every principle of justice and reason, refused to yield the question on the supposed footing of expediency— quietly submit in a word, to be most ri diculously jockied. VAN BE REN AND CALHOUN. The mode of olioosing delegates to the Loco Loco National Convention, consti tutes the great difficulty between the par ti? ns of Mr. Van Buren and Calhoun. 'I ; latter’s chance of a nomination de pends on having the election by districts; the former's by States. The following table, from the New York Tribune, which lias been carefully prepared, and with due consideration of the strength of the two candidates, shews the relative im portance of the different systems to each one of them.

Upon the 2d ballot the friends of Mr. Ca hum expect to receive the vote of Pennsylvania. 'Phis would give him 108 votes without any other increase. From a good source it is intimated that tlie vote of Pennsylvania will in no event be given to Mr. Van Buren. GENERAL TICKET AND VO ''ING AS STATES. States. Van Buren. j States. Calhoun. N.

A movement of polit ness lately was the means of saving a number of persons lrom imminent danger. A gentleman named J——, living m a country-house, near Marseilles, had invited some ladies lo pass the dtty with his family. After dinner, they were all sitting on a terrace m Iront ol the house, when, on the la dies admiring his garden, the master of the house politely asked them to descend,' and choose the finest flowers. They had scarcely left the spot when a gallery at tatched to the upper part of the house gave way, dragging with it the house, and breaking through the terrace below. Luckily, the company had got beyond the danger,— Gulignanks Messenger. [lt might be very well to call this the j rout ot politeness by way of jest; but with many it is calculated to pass as a piece ol earnest, in which character it tends to perplex the reasoning power, and is therefore worthy of a note of cor rection. It is, indeed, in this character, a specimen ot certain ideas logically false, which are perhaps current every day, and which it can only bo good service to exjiose. The escape of the company was clearly a mere accident, and had no thing whatevei to do with the emotion of politeness m Air. J ’s mind which dictated the movement. It is well to be po.itc, but such an accident as this is no recommendation to being so.j Calhoun in the West. —The Co lumbus Times, a Democratic paper, pub lished in Ohio, has hoisted the Calhoun I Ac- A\3SESS3a OAYCf iDiMiM THURSDAY OCTOBER 5, 1843. TOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: Lr.Vi V.OoDBirT. He marked the birth-day of our Journal , by unfurling to the breeze the broad banner of / temocracy, and inscribing upon its bright field the stainless name of John C. Calhoun, the American Aristides, as our First Choice for President of the United States ; and for the 1 ice Presidency, the name of that wise, honest and able Statesman, and unswerving Patriot, Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire: 3ubject, of coarse, to the decision of a Na tional Democratic Convention: The Delegates to be cJfriseii directly by the People —to convene at Balti more, A lay, 1844, and there individu ally express Faithfully, the will of their Constituents. We tisk but a fair field and fair play —and then “ Cod lefend the Right.” The Senator (Mr. Calhoun,) was con tinually charging him (Mr. Clay) with the design of violating the compromise act ? When had he swerved from ill He was still for adhering to it, as he understood its principles. Those prin ciples he did not consider incompatible with the PROTECTION of American industry, in preference to any ether. IIM HAD LIVED, AND WOULD DIE, AN ADVOCATE OF THE PKO TECTIVE SYSTEM.

In Bibb the field was Imtlv contested, the Fedcrali sst obtained one cut of the four, constituting our Del egation, by a majority of ten. This could not have hap pened, hut from the absence of Col. John Lamar, consequent upon a heavy domestic affliction, and his own illness. The loss of Col John Lam r from our Delegation is much to be regretted. It is a consolation t . know, that Mr Roland Biv ins, the successful Whig, is a worthy and excellent character, and will not wilfully sacrifice the interests of his country, or the State to his new Federal asso ciates. Considering the defection in a few of the neigh boring counties —we are proud, justly proud of the unshaken patriotism of our democratic brethren in Bibb. They nobly resisted the deep arts, by which t hey were assailed, though their dwellings were vis ited by hypoeriey, wrapped in the mantles of pre tended religion, eked out with a wide phylactery of Te i.pcr.iiue, and his f rewell “Good bye friends, lit me have the last hid.” Bribes and the threat of the l I iv and Biddle emissaries were equally ilisre g.ifded When the story of the ele lion of forty-three Is i ! l, the democrats of Bibb will be gratefully re membered. We und rstaml there is lou 1 crowing among the Federalists—“Oh, we shall have a Whig Legisla ture —well, what then 1 You had a Whig Legisla ture i n forty- what did they do at the most ilistres mg crisis? Why, they found the Treasury with l.ttle short of half a million in it, and stuck to it till they saw the bottom. Have the people of Georgia so soon forgotten the | unfeeling, insulting reply of the Whig majority ol Forty, to the cries for relief of an almost agonized : people ? Was it not “wc cannot relieve you and if ice could we ought not." If Heaveb as a punishment for their multiplied of fences by again indicting a Federal majority in teh Legislature upon the people of Georgia —we have this consolation —they had in Congress and in nine teen of the States, in forty —where are they now ? American freemen are not yet prepared to sink into the subjects of a dictator, or the vassals of a Bank and Factory nobility. ABSOLUTE STARVATION IN A CHRIS TIAN COMMUNITY. Perha|is it may seem astonishing that such an event could occur in a county where thirty-five bun dreil dollars are appropriated by a generous commun ity to the support of the sick and indigent poor, hut such we are nevertheless assured is the fact. The circumstance we allude to occurred in a poor family living at one of the two acre lots near the branch on the Houston road. All the family were confined to bed with the prevalent fever, two of whom have died from want of medical attendance and starva tion. Their names we know not. A charitable lady who visited these children of affliction a day or two sinec and relieved their present necessities, was in formed by a very sick hut still surviving memlier of this family, that he had not eaten a mouthful in three or four days, we forget which. Wc l>eg leave respectfully to direct the attention of the charitable to this and other instances of distress, among the poorer classes of our community. INCOME TAX IN THE TIME OF THE CRUSADERS. The following extract from Mr. James’ Life of Richard Cscur de Lion, is intereeting, and affords another proof that there “is nothing new under the sun.” The strongest army which Palestine had seen tor filly years was collected for the relief of Je rusalem, but how to pay it was the question “In moments of great and pressing difficulty, the same measures generally present themselves to all stales, however different may he their habits and customs at other peiiods; and things that strike us as liovilties, produced by the exigencies of our own situation, will often l>e found upon the page of history, adopted by men under circumstances in various remote ages. At a general assembly of the nobles and people of the kingdom of Jerusalem, with the consent and appro bation of the king, it was determined, in the immi nent necessity of the time, to have recourse to a property and inco i.c tax. Assessors were appointed to estimate the properly and incemc of each person in the realm; measures were taken to insure inviduals against surcharge, and afford them the power of ap peal; the assessors were hound by oath not to reveal the scorers of any man's fortune which they might discover in the execution of their duty ; and the lower classes were in some degree piotecU-d against the pressure of the tax. The impost was fixed at 1 per cent, upon properly, and 2 per cen j upon in come derived from ordinary revenues (this included all revenues of landed proprietors, monasteries, churches, &c.) while those who laboured for their bread, and whose income was derived from pay or salary, were, with justice, imposed only to half the amount, though they were not ulisylutely exempted from bearing a share in the burdens of the Bt.de. No exertions, however, availed; after a determined resistance, the city capitulated. On the 2d of Octo ber, 1187, the standard of the Prophet again floated from the walls of Jrrusa em, and Christendom pre pared for a third crusade. Correspondence of the Poughkeepsie Free Press. RICHARD D. DAVIS. “ appearances deceive, And this one maxim is a standing rule, Men are not what they seem.” For the purpose of showing the sincer ity and consistency of the political course of the gentleman whose name heads this article, I will place in jnxta-position his sentiments in regard to Gen. Jackson’s administration, in 1834, and his senti ments in regard thereto, as expressed in the Syracuse resolutions : MR. DAVIS’ RKSOI.U* MR. DAVIS* RESOLU TIONS IN 1841. TIONS IN 1 "43.

Terrible Storm in Florida.— The Savannah Republican of Saturday has accounts of a most destructive hurricane in Florida. The Port Leon Gazette of Sept. 15th announces the entire destruc tion of that town on the night of the 13th. Every ’warehouse but one was blown cKSwn, and nearly all the dwelling hou ses. At the Light House* every build ing hut the Light srouse itself, was de stroyed, and 14 lives were lost. The loss of property is estimated at $250,000. Fears were entertained that Apalachico la, St. Joseph and Cedar Keys had shared the same fate. In the neighbor hood of Tallahassee the storm was very violent,"and immense injury was done to the crops. We have as yet but imper fect accounts of this awful visitation. Capl. M. C. Robertson, his wife and 3 children are among those who'perished at the Port Leon Light House. In this city last Saturday, Allen L. I.cce, aged thirty years. Mr. Luce was a native of Massachu setts, but fur several, years a resident of this city.
