And I said, can it be that the Author of these
Is a God of vengeance that none .can appease?
Are they not blesings designed to prove
A Father’s rtercy—a Father’s love?
‘Twas night—and I looked on the spanghdsky,
And the thousands of worlds that were roiling by;
The moonbeams slept on the silver deep,
And the hum of voices was hushed in sleep.
Not a sound was heard, save the night wind’s sigh.
That whispered of peace and harmonr.
And I said, can it be that the Author of these
Is a God of vengeance that none can appease \
I will not—I cannot believe it trite,
While all these things are before my view
Alt! think’st thou not that they clearly prove
A Father's mercy—a Father’s love ?

A SERPENT-TONGUED INFANT.
I embraee the earliest opportuni’y to make you ac
quainted with such of the facte, as have come to >uy
knowledge, relative to the “serpent-tongued infant,”
of which we had casually heard, just previous to my
departure for Rock Island Qji'ite unexpectedly, day
before yesterday, I found myself/n the very neighbor
hood of this grange nnd wayward prr due tion of na
ture. My curiosity, as you may well suppose, was
greatly excitec, and L, onfess I felt till intense anxiety
to examine for myself an object which begun tocxcite Government on' earth,
so much interest in the neighborhood of its occur
rence. Mr. T—, a worthy old gentleman in the vi
cinity, a former acquaintance of mine, with whom I
accidentally’met. kindly offered to accompany me to
Mr. W’s, the father of the unfortunate child. We
reached there about 9 o’clock tiiis morning, and were
received very courteously by Mr. YV'—— and his in
teresting young wife. After an agreeable introduc
tion, my aged friend stated the object of our visit, and
the desire 1 had manifested to see their unfortunate
liitle child of whom.I bad just heard. Mr- W
informed us tli.it for several weeks lie had, in alino-t
every instance, declined adjnijjing strangers, as lie
though their presence had an unfavorable effect up
on the child, but as I had conic a c nsiderable distance
out of iny iyay, he was disposed <o gratify my wish,
tho more especially ns he thought I might give him
some advice in relation to the course he ought in fu
ture to pursue. Wo were then invited into an ad
joining room, in one corner of which we beheld, tied
in a small low chair il most horribly emaciated little
child, apparently about two years old I am aw re
that I shall totally fail in giving you any thing like nu
idea of the miserable object befiire us. Imagine, if
you can, an infant, a mere child, of about tb'e age
above supposed, reduced to a very skeleton, hairless,
and covered with a parched and shrivelled skin, dark,
and unelastic as the corresponding structure in the
withered octogenarian. Its little red, fiery eyes, roll
ing restlessly, ity .the deep recesses of its fleshy sockets,
sent forth horrid flashes of indignation when the door
to its apartinent-jvas thrown opqn. The little suffer
er opened its mouth, aud in the place of its tongue,
and for a tongue, a serpent’s head and neck were
thrust out vibrating and hissing witli an intensity pe
culiar to the more venomous varieties of that rep til
sive species of animated nature!
I could not, for several minutes, muster coinage to
approach tiie object of my curiosity. 1 was fixed to
the spot which 1 at first occupied, while the serpent-
headed tongue coutinued to dart forth nnd recede with
the quickness of thought; its little forked im^jicrv
fcngne at die same time playing about the /ips'nnd
nostrils of the child, equalling in- velocity’ the I’slit-
ning’ii flash. Mr. YV——, the father, 'gradually ap
proached the child, ali the time speaking very sooth
ing to it, and in a tew minutes succeeded in procuring
quiet—the bead reccdpd, the lips closed over it, itnd
the infant exhibited theaspect only of extreme emacia
tion. But the moment 1 moved towards the child,
even but n single step, the mouth would open, the
head suddenly dart forth, and the same dreadful spec
tacle I have already imperfectly described, would be
again presented The rather, however, beckoned me
to approach, which I did, and never shall I forget the
tremendous hissing wfnch came from the serpent-
headed tongue of the little sufferer. It was several
minutes before quietude could be produced, and even
the slightest motion on my part would cause an instan
taneous protrusion of the, unsightly organ, jrpom or
less intense according to the fears of the child/ I had
several fair opportunities' of sceing the strange mem
ber, nnd will endeavor to give you a description of it
Its color i« a dark copper,-shicing, and iu places in
clined to streaks of green. fu eyes are a jet black,
and when tin* light strikes them favorably, no dia
monds ever send forth more brilliant scintillations of
light! A bright yellow ring encircles the neck, and
really has rnuch the appearance of gold. The mouth
of this serpent-headed tongue is quite iarge, and was
always slightly open when the head was protruded
beyonjl the lips. Its forked tongue, as I have alreadv
said,'was incessantly in motion. YYe stayed in the
room just thirty minutes, during the latter part of
which time the child became very quiet, and took
freely ol milk, its usual food. The father .old me lie
had known the tongue to bite several times, and once
when it fastened upon one of his fingers, much swell
ing and soreness followed, indeed he was onlv re
lieved by a copious bleeding. He informed me'also,
that the child eat voraciously of milk, and sometimes
other kinds of food, but that it preferred the former.
The child is of the female sex. He stated iYiithet that
several eminent physicians, surg-mns. had been to see
the child, and that it had been recommended by one,
the eminent Dr. YV.. that the tongue be extirpated. I
coincided in this opinion, and advised tbat the Docioi
be called upon to perform the operation. The lather,
Mr. YV , is about twenty-eight years old, sjnd the
mother, I should judge, about twenty-two. Slie is ve
ry beautiful, lias been married about five years, jnd
this is their first and only child. I have omitted names
in this hasty sketch, at the request of the parties con
cerned.

Another Misrepresentation Cofnctcd .’—The Alexan
dria Gazette of last month, extracted the following
paragraph from the Cincinnati YY'liig: _ ,
“Gen. Jackson; while at Smithlaud, mouth : ofCum-
berland, ‘lately’ gajre the landlord where he stooped,
a teu dollar United States note, to deduct the amrinrit
of his bill from. Tennessee money was offered in
part as change, which was refused ; nothing, but spe
cie, or Nick Biddle’s potes would answer the F.x-Pres
idem.”
George Brown bar-keepar of the Bell Tavern, at
Smithland, contradicts the above positively, in a Card

The lust demonstration of disaffeuiion to the
Government, is me must alarming of any that
has occurred siuco 1834. It will he recollected,
uy .‘.ii those conversant with the news of the day,
that the President, in obedience m an impera
tive net of Cougress, lately Ordered ’he ri-vcnnp
of the Government to he collected in sp-.-cie, or
the bills of specie-paying buuks—that the modern
Whigs theretipou begiiu to abuse him for this
outrageous act of tyranny, as they called if, and
passed resolutions declaring, that the law shoubi
not he executed; that at all hazards it should
be resisted; and that threats were made, of
marching 10,000 men to YVnshingtnn City, tit
nullify tnis act of Government. Here was re
bellion rearing her crest against the constituted
authorities of the Government, simply because
the law was directed ;o t» executed. All this,
with the Whigs and Nuiites, was very patriotic ;
veiy proper to hang, or drive livni his.^eat, the
Chief Magistrate ot- this Union, because lie per-
sisien tu doing bis duty, iu defiance of the d >tn-
ineerit'.g and bullying of those gentry, who v -ro
too good, too tnuch of gentlemen, to obey, the
laws. ■ It " ill do very well for tho Republican
Party to obey the laws, but as for us Whigs and
Nub tea, the laws were uut made for us or if they
were, we wore not made to obey them. Our
creed is, that the taws have no power to bind
us, when ne say nay. This must have been their
course of reasoning, for their conduct admitted
of none other. Amt mark. •11 this was very
laudable, very patriotic, very much like good cii-
izciis, iu tllo estimation of the YVfaigs and [Sul
lies. It will farther bo recollected, that, after
cnese public evidences ol a resistance to the laws,
there was a ...igc meeting of Republicans in Phil
adelphia, ami among other resolves, they tender
ed tneir services to the'Government, ro aid in en
forcing me laws of the land, so publicly ihrent-
ened tube resisted. Ami this, by the Nul'ies nnd
modem YVhigi, is denounced as impudence and
treachery, ti)e ia>:u who passed it, brand?;! with
the epithet of traitors; and this sjmketi of ns a
sainp e of all the tyranny, contenting wliic' •.
have heard so nunh. and c-auu so little. --..I -
tiii- exhibition of resist;to the laws, let no
man console himself with '.he’.i’.lea, that the pur
pose to overthrow ;he Govern’iy.cut. is abandon
ed. Nothing cau be plainer, than that it still is
cherished. To resist the D-vr-mment; ,t«> re
solve, in the most sojcuni manner, that ijit I'l-i-si-
doiu should, at all hazards, he resisted iu the ex
ecution of a plain and positive art of pqflgress,
receives the approbation of these gentry. To
threaten to send 10.000 men to carry into effect
iheirdarhug object of a’civti war aud disunion, is
very tine, very' soldicr-like, very patriotic, and
very much to bo admired. But io oiler to up
hold the laws, to offer to offend those who, in an
honest discharge of duty, have incurred danger,
from a hand of revolutionists, is bv NuliHieaiio’u
and modern YVhiggery, Ifcld to bo very tyranni
cal. If coy one now doubts the settled purpose
of inis combination of YV’higgery apd Nitrifica
tion. to overturn or rule the country, he would
not believe, though one rose from the dead.
