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 ?

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.

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.

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 ijin : / u f Mi r im. licvoliiliouury \ needier.

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. • IJotc’i Woilt. 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 converted me the other Sunday !” “Con verted you! Oh—yes —very prob able—you look just like a piece of nty botch work. It GW had converted you, I shouldn’t have found you in the gut ter.” ; The M i riii'rs' great Tublifliiug Establishment Well and widely known as these emi j nent publishers are, throughout this 1 country and Europe, it is not probable that the public generally are aware of the j immense scale on which their operations ! are conducted. The statistics of that establishment would astonish the unitia i ted. and to give them in full would re i quire more space than it is in our power to devote to such a subject. The cnor j mous buildings on each side of Clitf street , in which three steam engines are propel ling hall a hundred presses constantly at work, their type foundry and stereotype establishment,- their Subterranean de posit of at least a hundred tons of plates ready tit any moment to lie called into use as they are wanted. Kept thus un der ground to secure them against lire— their army of clerks, overseers and young women employed hi the various depart ments of their business, really make up a literary world of which comparatively few people have any conception, and are pouring forth a daily flood of letters of magnitude enough to enlighten and educate a continent ; and what is of para mount importance to the public, this im mense laboratory of learning is in the hands of four men, whose intelligence, talent and enterprise furnish full securi ty for a proper exercise ofthe great intel lectual lever they wield. No apprehen sions need he entertained of the tendency of any tiling that is permitted to appear from the Harper Press, and confident of this it gives us pleasure to know as we do, that the business of the establishment is at this time much larger, more popular and much more profitable than it ever j was It fore. .V. 5" Courier /’«</.

C-, March 13, 1813. 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 Banks, Incorporated Joint Stock Companies, Procec-. (lings of Congress, and of Slate Legislatures, in re 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.

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. CERTIFICATES. j [The following is from Mr. Isaac M.

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. „ Aj" For Sale by J. 11. ij' TU.

Sept, n, 1313. 18 if 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!
