proaebing Watering season On the day above mention-
id. I shall therefore offer

ing that on which is situated the celebrated Spring, the
Mountain Spout, where I at present reside. I’he follow

uauul out houses conveniently situated, substantially

I shall also off r. aus part of the same establishment, 3
full squares of 202 } acres each, more or less of good land

Died, in Dorchester, oo Friday last, of a
pleurisy fever, Miss. Frances Wentworth
Morton, daughter of the Hun. Perez Morton
In the death of this amiable and pious lady her
friends have sustained a loss not easily repair
ed. The benevolence ot her disposition, in
which the kindest charities seemed blended;
the warmth and affectionate sympathy of her
feelings for those who suffered;* and the playful
mimation which enlivened the domestic circle,
have caused a melancholy void iu that circle
which can pever cease to be felt. From early
youth her heart was impressed with a sense of
religion, which strengthened with her years,
and consoled her under every event. Il gave
a cheerfulness to her disposition, which was
seldom overcast by a shade of thought hut
thut which sympathy for suffering produced.
A.I within her bosom was sunshine and hope—
t er undevialiag faith in the promises ol a Sa*
viour, elevated her to frequent contemplations
ot IJ is perfections in the Divinity she worship
ped and adored Her feeling-- were so direct
ed to.this object, that it wa* under all circum
stances a source of the highest happiness to
exercise the talents with which she was gifted
in expressing those hopes which shed a lustre
over her path, and evinced her trust in a God,
who in his goodness was preparing her for the
Inotion ot those hopes in ihe presence of her
S viour and her God
i’he following < ffusion, written a week or
two before her illness, und the last that pro
ceeded from her pen, which she had not even
revised, is given as a proof of the spirit of de
votion which animated her existence.
STANZAS,
Upon hearing a sermon lately preach-'d by
an emineni Divine, from the following text—
There shall be no night therel’*
Breath* yet again that holy thought,
Still in iu radian, flight declare,
All that its inspiration caught,
When first if ia he tru ‘foYa night is there.**
Where has it p issed? Ii could nut rest
U[ *in the dun’s unfading r«y;
There clouds may rise, and storms molest,
And darkness veii its brightest day.
W here has it dwell? In depths of light
Which mortal vision could not b--ar.
God for its sun, iu ivbose blest sight
That thought bus passed—“Ab night is therel ,l
There is a light that needs no sun,
The glorious Day Spring in whose rays
Unnuraben ti spnits blend in one,
With sengs oi rapture, love, and praise.
If peace, and joy which cannot fade,
The smiles those h ippy beings share,
F tdi one bright day, where not a shade
Of grief can rise—* wVo night is there!
There hopes like thine, and thoughts that soar
Fearless where Angels veil the bro«c,
In full fruition uta>
AH that is hid from raortais now.
Jh, who would catch the meteor blaze
Of earthly glory, wealth, or fame,
And lose the cl ar und steady rays
Of “perfect peace” the good shall claim.
If from God’s holy presence driven
Be grief, and darkness, und despair,
From sin that shut? the gate of l*eavcn,
Tne midnight of the mind be there.
Then, in those realms where virtue blends,
M itb truth, and love, and goodness, where
The bright and morning st-.r ascends,
In ligut divine—“Aa night is there*.’*

Of hunnin suffering, if the storm

The Lafayette Land.—It will be interesting
to many of our readers to learn, from the fol
lowing passage of a letter from Mr Skinner.
of Baltimore, to the Editor of the American
Farmer, that tho Florida Lands of Genera!
Lafayette are in market:
* Permit me to make known, as interesting
to your readers in Florida, that the illustrious
•md much beloved Lafayette has 9ent rne, and
requested ms to execute, au unqualified power
of attorney to sell at public or private sale, one
half of his Florida Lands. I have no doubt
that, in distinguishing me by this mark of his
confidence and regard, his leading object was
to relieve the good people of Florida, and its
capitol, Tallahassee, into which his land runs
from all apprehensions of the check which
might ensue to the growth of that country, by
having in the heart of it a body of24 000 acres
of unoccupied land. 1 understand much of it
to be exceedingly well adapted to ihe growth
of cotton and sugar-cane, and of tobacco; but
I will give you a more particular description of
it when better informed In the mean time my
plan will be, as at present advised, to sell alter
nate sections, on long credits, to practical net
tiers, as far as may be, demanding only a small
portion to be paid in cash ”
POLITICAL.
OUR COUNTRY.
It is little more than half a century since the
United States became an independent nation
The capacity of the people for self-govern
ment was then by many sincere patriots and
statesmen considered problematical; all watch
ed the experiment with an anxious eye*, it is
our high privilege to behold and to enjoy the
result •
The happiness and prosperity of our coun
try have exceeded expectation; our popula
lion is immense y increased; our commerce car
ries the produce of our soil to every clime;
agriculture, the chief support of a republic,
yields abundantly to the labours of the farmer;
manufactures are carried on with an cnterpri
'iug spirit; internal improvements a sure
-uiirce of wealth, have been bountifully en
e urageil, internal commotions have been
scarcely known: and our rights have been
•amtained, and our strength tested in foreign
wars with two ot the most formidable Europe
an powers. YVe entertain no apprehensiv- -
ness of the durability of these blessings, they
rest on a sure basis; the industrious and moral
habits of the people, the diffusion of education
and intelligence throughout society, aud their
united influence on public opinion.
—Our liberty is far remote from licentious
ness, it restrains the turbulence of faction, en
forces law, controls vice, cherishes virtue, fos
ters religion, protects all, oppresses nose: a
just confidence in the stability of our constitu*
Hon is every where felt.
Where all are possessed nf equal political
privileges, and every one may aspire to the
highest honors, it is peculiar? important That
nseful knowledge should be widely dissemi
nated: •‘knowledge is power,” and consequently
in proportion as it is widely extended Will a
republic be mighty. It may be the policy ot
despots to dread the extension of light among
the mass of the people, and to suppress schools
colleges, aud universities: ours is a different
policy; the poor have been gratuitously in
structed, seminaries of learning have beet,
cherished, and it is a rare thing to see a ma;
bom in this country who cannot both reati
and write While the foundation is thu:
broadly and firmly laid, the higher branches
of education, the sciences and the accomplish
meats have not been neglected. Let us per
severe in a policy thus wise and beneficial,
and we need not dread (hat any human cause
will bo strong enough to retard our progressive
increase in national strength and individual
happiness. Occasionally the croakings of the
disappointed may bo heard, but they tviil only
-•erve to demonstrate that unmixed happiness
*s neither the lot of nations nor of mortals —
Whatever divisions may distract, or however
widely party spirit may at times separate us
from each other, the.moment a foreign power
shall venture to interfere, one impulse will be
felt in every heart, and a united energy in eve
ry arm.—Journal of Law
India Rubber.—This valuable product, first
made by L i (Jondamine, m 1736, is the juke
of several species of trees growing in Sou.b

of one of its most remarkable properties, its e-

VVa-iiinoton, Feb. 22.
To the.Editor of the U. States Telegraph:
Sir—i enclose to you, fur publication, my
letter to Major Hamilton, referred to in Mr.
Crawford’s fritter to me ol the 30th April. 1830,
which last forms so prominent a place in tne
recent address of the Vice President to the
people of the United States. Had -1 believed
this letter of any importance to Mr Calhoun^
it would have been voluntarily communicated
to him, after the receipt of his answer of the
1st June, to my letter to hkn of the 3]st May.
I give it to the public, not because my opinion
of it is changed, hut because Mr. Calhoun, in
his letter to the President of the 25th of Au
gust, J830, after iny offer to furnish him with
a copy of it if he desired it, reiterates the opin
ion that it ought to have been shown to him.
This communication to M*jor Hamilton was
made without inquiry into his motives for ask
ing it. Certainly no hostility to Mr Calhoun
was imagined, nor is ilperc* ived how the facts
stated could, of themselves, be any way inju
rious to him. Major Hamilton's character wa9
to me a sufficient guarantee that the informa
tion requested was not sought fur any unwor
thy purpose.
A word or two of explanation, in the farther
agency 1 have had in this affair is justly due
to Mr. Crawford. I heard nothing of my cor
respondence with Major Hamilton, and the
subject was scarcely thougtit of until, during
last winter that gentleman came to the Senate
Chamber, ami requested me to give to the
President, if not improper to my judgment, the
information I had given to him. I alien if ho
had not my letter. He answered that he had.
I then said, Mr. Crawford spoke to me, and
speaks to every body, of this . ffair, with the
same indifference that he does ol «ny other in
cident in his political life. I am sure he does
not care what you do with the letter. You
may give the-President a copy of if.
Major Hamilton declined doing this (rum a
motive of delicacy. He slated that he had
conversed, cr corresponded, I do not recollect
which, with Mr. Calhoun on this subject, and
tfiat the statements ot Mr. Crawford aud Mr.
Calhoun did not agree. He was, therefore,
unwilling to interfere, further than to comply
with the President's wish masking of Die the
iniormuiiou.
Ou this statement. I was determined not to
give the information wit out Mr, Crawford’s
express assent. The information was no lon
ger a matter of indifference, and I did not
chuo-e to give it to the President without ap
prising Mr Crawford that he ami Mr. Cal-
noun differed in their account of the transac
tion, and without submitting to him my state
ment of our con versa* ion for correction, if it
was, in any respect, erroneous. I obtained for
that purpose, and enclosed to him a copy of
my ||*llor *« Hamilton Hfo mm«/.■> Ill
before the public. 1 found, to my surprise,
that I had erred in repeating what be had said,
and to avoid the possibility of any other mis
take, I deemed it safest to send to the Presi
dent a copy of my letter to Major H. and Mr.
Crawford's letter to me In making this com
munication, from respect to the personal deli-
racy of M ijor Hamilton, his name was kept
•it of view.
Justice to Mr. Crawford demands the pob>
cation of Ins letter to Mr. Calhoun. Having
leceived from him a copy ot it, shortly after ft
jvas written, I have submitted it to the mspec.
• tun ot some of those in whose judgment I
know he reposes implicit coufidunc •; aud as
they coincide with me in the opinion I have
expressed, I send i to yon for immediate in
sertion ia your p*per It is for Mr Crawford,
and for him only, to decide whether any thing
more is necessary for his justification. I have
found myselt very unexpectedly compelled to
«ny any thing about this transaction, and trust
that none of those who are interested in it will
find it necessary to introduce my name into ther
further discussion of it.

sentence in your paper you may perhaps become the me
dium of very great and general usefulness :
“If poison be taken internally, there is nol • house in the
country which doe» not contain a remedy, if instantly ad.
ministered. It is nothing more than two tea-spoonjnlls of
made mustard, mixed in warm water. It acts as an in
stantaneous emetic. Making this simple remedy known
may be the means of saving many a fellow creature from m
untimely death."—Farmer's Almanack for 1331.
(VVe comply cheerfully with the request of our corres
pondent, hoping that in case of emergency the proposed
remedy might prove efficacious; as, however, the remedy
tself is rather violent, and might be too much for some
constitutions, it would be well for every one to consult
his family physician on the first accidental meeting, as to
its effects on different ages, so as to be able to apply it
judiciously .—Cent.]

ted that your engagements did not permit you
to pay him a passing visit. By his authority 1
state, in reply to your inquiry, that at a meet
ing of Mr. Monroe’s Cabinet, to discuss the
course to be pursued toward Spain, ig conse
quence of General J*ek**m’*—:proceedings to
Florida during the Seminole War, Mr. Cal
houn, the Secretary of the War Department,
submitted to, and urged upon the President,
the propriety and necessity of arresting and
trying General Jackson. Mr. Monroe was ve
ry much annoyed by it; expressed a belief that
such a step.would not meet the public appro
bation: that General Jackson had performed
too much public service to be treated as a
\ounger or subaltern office? might; without
shocking public opinion. Mr Adams spoke
with grout violence against the proposed ar
rest, and justified the General throughout. Ve
hemently urging the President to make the
cause of the General that of the administration.
In consequence of the strong excitement
produced by the President’s obvious embar
