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.

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

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.

THE PROFIT OF POLITENESS.
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

FOR VICE-PRESIDENT:

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

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.

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.
