The ft lo» sat chained in his prison roll,
’Tv* as his last brief day of life;
Aud beanie him stood they who had loved him Will.
His parents and his with!
The old man’s heart was well nigh broke,
Though his hair had long been grey;
And scarce a woid to his son he ejsike,
Ere he turned aside to pray.
The mother clung, with a mother’s heart,
To hope, although hope was o’er ;
Anil she wept o’er lire ryui which had no part
In the upright men of Auc.
The wife —oh, who shall paint the wife,
Asshe knelt by his fettered knee!
Her every bursting pulse at strife,
And her heart one agony.
And he sat there, that bold bad man,
With blood on l.is red right band ;
And he strove to smile, but his lip U c.,11
The struggle to withstand.^
\ rt still he uttered r.o hopeful word;
He spurned at his father’s prayer,
And not a throb of his dark heart stirred
At his mother’s wild despair.
He answered not to his wife's low groan,
Hut he looked on ejeh in turn;
A nd » wilder light in his fierce eye shone,
Which seemed from his brain to burn.
Tim chaplain had murmured out in vain
The holv words of peace;
The felon saw but the cell and the chain,
And bade him rudely cease.
“Talk you to me,” he hoarsely said,
“Os a future fraught with hope 1”
Do 1 not know that, in its stead,
Wait the gallows and the rope 1
Can you read tin sin in your own past years,
That your worJs with blame are rile ?
Can you find no tbod for groans and tears
In the book of your written life 1
Away! il is a mockery all—
Leave 111 c t» die alone;
As I hare stool, so shall I fall,
A wronged and outraged one.
.Sinners by sinners judged are we,
The weaker by the strong ;
Th# guilt of the great, men will not see ;
’Tia the little who bear the wrong I
There was no yielding in his heart,
No yielding in his eye;
Cold and unmoved he stood apart,
ProuJ in his infamy.
Until at length his hard grace fell
Where his infant sleeping lay,
A nd that one look dissolved the spell
That had thralled him many a Jay.
Time was when he had seen his boy,
In decent garments clad,
A type of sinless human joy,
With all around him glad.
But since foul guilt had ta’en its place
Beside their narrow hearth,
A shade had fallen o'er that young face,
And swept away its mirth.
Tatters now swathed each wasted limb.
That erst was round and strotifl;
lie felt it spoke reproach to him,
Whoso crime had wioughl tile wrong.
“My child, my hoy!” lie murmured out ;
“My first born, see me kneel;
Thy pure young brow awakens doubt,
It drives me mad to feel.
The priests dull lore I have disdained,
And scorned a father’s tears;
Shill 011 my heart the shade remained,
Which had hung there for years.
AII— all have sinned in thought and deed,
And each in his degree—
This was the bitter blighting creed
That ruled my destiny.
But thy calm wordless sleep is full
Os warning wisely given ;
The sinless and the beautiful,
Which points the way to Heaven.
’Tis well thou sleepiest, hapless child,
Or here thou eould’st not stay ;
A dungeon's aspect, bleak and wild,
Would scare thy rest away
1 thank thee, hoy; the tears I werp
Seem soothing to my brain,
N'ow, hear him hence amid his sleep,
He may not here remain.
Away with him, lest he espy
My guilt even in my look ;
1 dare not meet his sinless eye,
Nor bear its mule rebuke.
J udicia! system of Ancient Mexico.
No counsel was employed, the parties
stated their own case, and supported it by
their own witnesses. The oath of the
accused was also admitted in evidence.
The statement of the case, the testimony
and the proceedings of trial, were all set
forth by a clerk, in hieroglyphical paint
ings, and handed over to the court. The
paintings were executed with so much
accuracy, that, in all suits respecting
real property, they were allowed to be
produced as good authority in the Span
ish tribunals very long, after the conquest
and a chair for their study and interpre
tation was established at Mexico in 1553
which has long since shared the fate of
most other provisions for learning in that
unfortunate country.
A capital sentence was indicated by a
line traced with an arrow across" the
portrait .of the accused. In Tezcuco,
where the King presided in the court,
this, according to the national chronicler,
was done with extraordinary parade.-- j
llis description, which is rather a poeti
cal cast, I give in his own words ; “ in
the royal palace of Tezcuco was a court
yard, on the opposite sides of which were
two halls of justice. In the principal
one, culled the “ tribunal of God,” was a
throne of pure gold, inlaid with tur
quoises and other precious stoues. On
a stool, in front, was placed a human
skull, crowned with an immense emerald
of a pyramidal form, and surmounted by
an , aigrette of brilliant plumes and pre
cious stones. The skull was laid on a
heap of military weapons, shields, quiv
ers, bows, and arrow. The walls were
hung with tapestry, made oftha hair of !
different wira animals, of riclt and vari
ous colors, festooned by gold riiiEfs, ami
embroidered with figures of birds and
llowers. Above the throne was a canopy
of variegated plumage, from the centre of
i which shot for resplendent rays of gold
and jewels. The other tribunal, called
j ‘Ibe King’s,’ was also surmounted by a
gorgeous cauopy of feathers, on which
were emblazoned the royal arms. Here
the sovereign gave public audience, and
communicated: bis despatches. But when
he decided.iii)|K)rtaiit causes or continu
ed a capital sentence, be passed to the
“tribunal of find,” attended by the four
teen great lords of the realm, marshalled
according to their rank. Then, putting
on ins milted crown, incrusted with [ire
cions fctones, and bolding a golden arrow
by way of sceptre, in bis left band, lit:
Irid bis right upon the skull, and pro
nonneetl judgment.’’— J'rcsco/l's L'on

.Mr. Editor, As all anecdotes ol the
devolution are interesting, 1 hereby sub
join one which was related to me by a
person, who was not an eye witness.—
It will likewise serve to show that, tho’
j that murderous and unprincipled leader
i Tarlton, was generally governed by
( heartless and reckless motives, yet there
| were times when the gentler influences
were at work, and when he could prove
himself as capable of doing a good action,
action, as he was of enjoying a good
joke.
It was about 2 o’clock on an oppress
ively hot evening in July, as Tarleton
with his “sanguinary legion” was pro
ceeding fromC-harleslon to Camden, when
lie approached a countryman seated near
the road. They speeeily snrfounded
him, when Tarleton accosted him in
this wise.
“What are you doing here, Sirrah?”
“Well, I rather kalkilalc gineral,” said
i the countryman with abroad gin”, that I
run sitten down, about this present junc
tion ol time.”
“Come, fellow, there arc p'enty of
j trees and ropes at band, no truing, what
j brought you here? What is your busi
j ness F
Well, if I must tell you my business,
i “I’ve come to see if I could’ut sell you
some beef?”
“1 have enough ofbeef,” said Tarleton,
“besides I expect yours is very poor.”
“I reckon you might be mistaken,
stranger, for 1 can just tell you mine is
mighty fat.”
“How fat are they?” said Tarleton,
becoming impatient.
“Why, sir, one of my cows is a solid
m iss of hit, and (he tail is a candle .”
l T pon hearing this, Tarleton rode off,
but the countryman called to him,
(Tarleton had on an old fashioned gown
which he wore during the heat of the
day,)—“l say, mister, I wish yourmajes
ty would tell me where you got the pat-*
tern of that ar coat, I want one jest like
it.”
Tarleton, looked round, there was a
smile upon the countenances of all his
officers, and the “blood-stained” Colonel
himself, no longer able to restrain his
mirth, gave a long, loud, and hearty
laugh, in which be was joined by all,
and just at that moment we lost sight of
their proceedings. T.

Avery eccentric clergyman, named
David Jones, who flourished in Gotham,
a few years since, was passing through
Broadway one morning, at an early hour,
when he was startled by a voice, appar
ently issuing front the gutter, crying,
“Good morning, neighbor Jones !” 'The
worthy divine looked about him for his
“neighbor,” and at last discovered an ob
ject wallowing in die kennel.
“\\ ho is it,” said he, “that calls me
neighbor Jones?”
“W by, do’nt you recollect me ? You

CIRCULAR.
The time has arrived, when, it has become neces
sary for the Friends of Free Trade to unite iu sus
taining' their cause.
Tire commercial community and agricultural pop
ulation of the country, have been subjected to the
operation of an unequal and unjust Tariff Law. A
law, admitted by its framers and advocates, to have
been hastily devised and hurriedly acted on, forced
through Congress at the close of an extra session,
aud adopted by a single casting vote. A law, which
makes forced loans from importers, in the way of
cash duties, amounting on an average to 30 per cent,
of their capital. A law, which by heavily taxing ma
terials used in ship building, being equal to S3 per
ton, which, on a vessel of 600 tons, amounts to the
enormous sittn of 83,500 is driving our ships from the
foreign carrying trade. Foreign and cheaper built
vessels monopolize to a great extent, the business
which was formerly done by our ships.
The friends of Free Trade, contend that justice to
the Merchants, Ship Builders, and Ship Owners, and
to the Farmers of the country, demands an immedi
ate modification of ibis oppressive Tariff Law. They
contend, that, the Agricultural and Commercial in
terests of the United States arc indissolubly united.
That, the prosperity and extension of trade and com
merce, necessarily promotes the extflision and pros
perity of agriculture.
They believe the power granted to Congress by
the Constitution, to regelate commerce, was not in
tended to be Used fonits destruction.
They believe it bad policy for the government, in
time of profound peace, under pretence of passing a
revenue bill, to pass a bill destroying revenue, and
then borrow money with which to carry on the gov
ernment, and at the same time laying the foundation
of a large public debt.
They believe a crisis lias been reached in the af
fairs of the country, when these measures must he
met, resisted and overcome by the united aud effi
cient action of the friends of free trade.
Front the signs of the times, should the advocates
of commercial restriction and unequal taxation, suc
ceed in electing their candidate for the Presidency,
the disastrous result will he, that we shall have the
severe grievances of which we justly complain, fas
tened upon us as the permanent policy of the coun
try.
To avoid an event fraught with such evil conse
quences, it behooves us to unite with others injhe
support of a Free Trade Candidate for the Presiden
cy. The time for action is short. In a few more
months, an individual may be selected, as President,
whose opinions, power and influence, might he fear
fully exerted against us. Or one, whose views, feel
ings and opinions coincide with our own.
Something should be done. At the present time,
the Prc*3s of this city occupies a position unfavorable
to the success of our cause. The necessity for a
new paper is evident, from the fact that at present,
none of the papers of tliis city advocate to the full
extent, and with sufficient energy and zeal, the prin
ciples for which ne contend.
A paper of this character seems at the presen
juncture indispensable. It should he in its ends ami
aims, essentially a Free Trade paper; and at the same
lime, advocate the claims to office, of men in whose
undisguised principles, we might place the most ii>»
plicit confidence.
A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have
been organized to solicit subscriptions from persons
disposed to contribute means, towards starting in this
city, as soon as practicable, anew Comercial and
Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same
time of lending its honest and fair support for the
Presidency, to the candidate » hose opinions are well
known to he favorable to a liberal Commercial policy.
Writers of acknowledged a' ility, zeal and indus
try, will have charge of ihc Editorial columns.
Talents of the highest order will he engaged to
take charge of the respective Depart:nexus of the
paper.
The state of the Money Market, with Reports of

lation to all financial affairs, with regular tables of
Exchange Domestic and Foreign, combined with
genera, grouping sos all monetary movements taking
pltue in all parts of the civilized world, will form a
permanent feature of llie paper.
Another department of the paper will be devoted
to information concerning the state of tho principal
Markets of the world for Agricultural products. Cor
respondence will also be established with the farm
ing and planting districts of the interior, in order to
oblairiuhe'latest news of the extent and prospects of
the growing crops.

iDR.SPENCER’Sj
VEGETABLE PILLS:
A PUBLIC BLESSING.
These Pills have long- been known and appreciated,
for their extraordinary and immediate powers of re
storing perfect health to persons suffering- under
nearly every kind of disease to which the human
frame is liable.
They are particularly recommended to all those
persons who arc afflicted with any kind of Chronic or
/Angering Complaint, as there is no medicine before
the public which has so natural and happy effect up
on the system in correcting the stomach ad liver,
and to die formation of healthy chyle and thereby
purifying.the blood.
They are acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are using them, to be not only the
most mild and pleasant in their operation, hut tile
most perfectly innocent, safe and efficient medicine
ever offered to the public. Those who once make a
trial of lx-se Pills, never afterward feel willing to be
without t thorn, ana cull again and again for more
which is sufficient proof of their good qualities.
HEADACHE—SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered and are weary of suffer
ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer’s
Vegetable I J ills a remedy at once certain and immedi
ate in i;s effects. One single dose of the Pills taken
soon as the headache is felt coming on, will cure it
in one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admiration,
and are far superior to any thing in use lor these
complaints.
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un
rivalled. Matty have been cured in a lew weeks,
after having suffered under the dreadful complaint
for years.
In Habitual Cosliveness, they are decidedly supe
rior to any Vegetable Pill ever brought before the
public ; and one 25 cent box will establish their sur
prising virtues, and place them beyond the reach of
doubt in the estimation of every individual.
They are invaluable in nervous and hypochondria
cal affections, loss of appetite, and all complaints to
which females alone arc subject.
They are mild in their action, and convey almost
immediate conviction of their utility from the first
dose. They may be taken by persons of any age ;
and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate
are strengthened by their operation, because they
clear the system of had humors, quiet nervous irra
tability, and invariably produce sound health.
Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thous
and Boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold
within the last twelve months in three States alone,
and more than throe times the same quantity in oth
er States.
As an Anli-Billious family should be
without them. A single trial of them is more satis
factory than a thousand certificates.

County, Alabama.]
Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1843.
7b Ur. Spencer:
Dear Sir —I have used your Vegetable Pills in my
nip'ly the hat year With great success, and I consid
er them the best Pill I ever used. 1 have made con
siderable use of many other popular Pills, bull am
convinced that yours are superior to any of them.
For Sick Headac he, they are an excellent medicine.
For llowel Complaint, L think them the best medi
cine in the world, and also for the Moody celux. I
can say to you that I made great use of them last
season. I had twenty of my blacks sick with the
Flux, and I administered your Pills freely, and 1 did
not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the
highest terms of them. Respectfully yours,
JESSE JORDAN.

A PROCLAMATION.
To the Citizens af Georgia:
WHEREAS, for several years past, the good Peo
ple of this State have been greatly, and very seri
ously imposed upon in times of suffering and sick
ness, by being obliged to pay the enormous price of
One Dollar and Fifty Cents for a Box of PILLS , or
a Bottle of MIXTURE , to cure CIIILLS AXD
FEVERS, and other distressing coinplaiuts: Now,
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means of relief
have hem discovered in DR. HULL'S VEGET
ABLE FEVER and A GUE , and ASTI FEVER
PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors aud
their Agents at the low price of Only One Dollar per
Do r—-from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori
ty of all other medicines for the cure of such com
plaints; atnl as to die comparative safety with which
they can be. taken, together with the simplicity of
their component parts (which are entirely vegetable)
and the real value of Hull’s Pills, ns adapted to the
wants of the community, there can be no longer the
least doubt of their great superiority over all othei
medicines, not only in their superior properties in
the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, but
also as a remedy in Fevers of every description.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up
wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within the last twelve months, not
a single case has come to the knowledge of the pro
prietors, where they have failed ty cure the Chills
and Fevers, when iheydiavc been used according to
the directions accompanying them. And besides
these pills arc no “quark medicine they arc the
scientific preparation of experienced medical m‘en,
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positively declared that from all the discoveries
up to the present time, itrmicdical science, they saw
noway by which they could possibly be improved, or
made in any way more effectual in the cure of those
complaints for which they are recommended: so that
die happy combination of the ingredients and their
proportions are such as to produce a medicine which
never fails to relieve when relief is at all attainable.
Upwards of one thousand certificates might here be
added, of important cures effected by this medicine ;
but it is not necfcs-npy to publish them, as a single
trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than a
volume of printed tesiimonia's. We would, howev
er, refer the reader to some eight or ten thousand
families in this State, who it is thought have experi
enced their efficacy, aud who would bear ample tes
timony of tboirunrivaljed virtues. „

PROSPECTUS
’ OF THE
SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
This work has now been ft year before the public,
during which period its reputation lias been ho suc
cessfully established, and its circulation so widely
extended, as to justify the hope and belief that it will
long’ continue to be one of the principal organs of
Southern Political Interests, and one of the chief or
naments of Southern Literature. The brilliant
character of the late Southern Review shed around
Charleston and the South, a halo which will not soon
be forgotten the Southern Quarterly has risen, af
ter many toilsome odorts, from its ashes, and it is
trusted that it will prove itself a worthy successor of
the glory of the former. Nothing 1 more is now re
quisite to ensure its permanence than the continued
and cordial support of the inhabitants of the South
ern portions of the Union; and an appeal is confi
dently made to the generous and patriotic feelings
of all Southerners, not to suffer the present Review
to languish from tlie want of that sustenance which
they can so well afford.
In its political character this Review will be Dem
ocratic, and while a\oiding*carefully schims merely
I*>cal in their nature, it will strenuously uphold South
ern Interests, and advocate all questions Os national
importance with boldness and freedom. It is not in
tended, however, absolutely to exclude all articles
maintaining principles different from our own; hut if
otherwise worthy of admission, they will be inserted
with a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves
responsible for the doctrines alleged. All religious
discussions of a sectarian nature will be scduously
eschewed, and the Review will preserve a perfect
impartiality towards all religious denominations.
The work will be printed on the best paper, and
with the best type, and every exertion will be made
to render it worthy of the patronage of the public
generally. It will bo issued quarterly from Charles
ton, in January, .April, July ami October; and arrange
ments 1 • ‘ivc h< < n made, since its remobal to ibis city,
to insure the rcgulariand punctual delivery of every
number us it appears, so that no disappointment may
hareafter arise from any failure in this respect.
Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn from the work, the
Subscriber, in order that more time and attention
mav be devoted to its improvement, and to the accu
racy and excellence of each number, lias associated
with himself in the Editorial management of the
Review, that distinguished scholar, G. Frederick
Holmes, Esq. of Orangeburg, and every effort will
be made on the part of both to give every satisfaction
to its patrons.
In consequence of the removal of the Southern
Review to Charleston, and the reduction in the cx
ponses of printing and publishing attendant thereon,
the price of the work will henceforward be reduced
from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annually
in advance. The fifth number, which will com*'
tnence another year, will appear early in January,
1R43, for wliich abundant material have been already
procured. Many of the host writers and most pro
found scholars of the country have already pledged
them e ves to furnish articles for the ensuing year,
and the list of contributors is daily ncrcasing ia
talent, in respectability and in number!
