t«d hair, nor was freckled : neither did ahe stotrp w Walk
ing ; yet abe htifl reached the mature age m*nf*>»J*vi above,
iM no onet'idled her more than good looking. If you had

we saw but little of her. 0 Of course ; for Kate wa* sadly
of place on »u« h occasion*—and to retire into some re-
tn >*e e.trnor, or draw within the folds of * window curtain
and watch those about her, wai to her the height of enjoy-
mint,
I will not deny that there were tiinea, when, with her ad
miration of the splendid charms of her cousin Kllen, there
w»» mingled a *igh for her own want of beauty, for woman
will be woman, and there are none who would not choose
to Iw beautiful. Ilut Kate was immediately cured of the
•ighing, If JCUen, from iter body of admirer*, cast a glance
Vid a smile to the nook where she was;, for the oousins
were mutually fond and proud of each other, and die best
friends in the world. •* Proud of each- other V' asks some
one. " what had Kate, pray, that anyone should be proud of
her?” My dear reader, she had a well stored and a well
balanced rnind; ahe was the charm of the winter evening
fireside, when sitting with her grand pare, ts ami cousin El
len; both iho girls were orphans; ahe made them happy by
relating to them the most amusing anecdotes sin* had raad
during the day, the most interesting adventures she had met
with in her strolls; in short, without knowing of such an art
ns that of conversation, our Kate had acquired it perfectly.
Then was Ellen the nuiet admirer and listener; she had the
good sense to know that Kate was far her superior.
Kate had no lovers! Ofcourse no:; the idea ia absurd;
he never thought of the responsibility of such a thing, and
o tacitly was it understood and firmly was it believed, that
Kate was "cut out* for an old maid, that it had long been
settled between the cousins, that whenever Ellen should
clioo*ie a husband from among her admirers, Kate should
play the single sister of her household. Rut, ns yet, both
were " fancy free;" so thought they, and so thought all;
and so in fact t was, much as our young minister, who fre
quently visited the olrl folks, wished that it was not; but as
long as he thought hrs secret unsuspected, he tried to be
contented with his fate, ft had eoteied Kate's mind, for
ahe saw more than others, from her habits of quiet obser
vation, that perhaps the grave, reserved, -and dignified Mr.
Gray, might be captivated by the all conquering graces of
* Ellen ; for, from time immemorial, she knew that, in cases
♦d* Jove, it had been a settled prir.cipie. that unlike qualities
should unite ; and Kate liked him well enough to wish hint
a«>‘< e*s. Ellen law his superiority, anu confessed to herself
the love of s^cli a man was wi.rth winning.
A slight J^i from Kate, with the slightest possible smile,
when Mr. Gray was the subject of praise—as a minister
always is in a little town—revealed to Ellen the suspicions
of Kate, and with her eyes now open to the subject, sue de
termined to understand how the matter stood, for she could
not deny to ltd-self that site felt a pleasure in believing Kate
*W*-. ., ,
M Is it possible,” said she to herself, "that Mr. Gray and
I nre in love with each other, mid that Kate only knows it 7"
K .Jcn was no novice in love, and she-knew every symptom
of an incipient love affair; when Mr. Gray, iheretore, en
ured for his usual morn ; n^ call, he wassobjected to a close
scrutiny. He came with lus usunl gifts of wilt) flowers for
the young Indies, and cheerful chat for the old people.—
With the air of gallantry to which Ellen was accustomed,
and an easy flow of compliment, he presented a bunch to |
her, but proffered in silence the remainder to Kate. "This
is rather mystify’mg’/’ thought Ellen, "can Kaic be wrong?”
and, as she again looked up, she saw that his eyes still rest-
• 1 on Kate. The truth flashed upon her. "It is Kate her-
aulf* M she said. Ilei opinion was confirmed, when she no
ticed that her own flowers were the gay and gaudy ones
which the careless loiterer cannot fail to notice every
where, while Kale’s were tho.se sweet and modest ones
which must be sought beneath the tall grass, and among the
thick hedges.
And how did Ellen feel under this conviction ? First
there came a pang of wounded vanity; then an earnest
"thank God I nin yet heartwhole;” then a generous wish
that Kate might return his love, and then a glow of girlish
triumph, that for once she was more clerir-aigluea than Kate.
It was some months afier this, and Ellen had kept her se
cret most discreetly, when, during a sunset ramble, they
were joined by Mr. Gray. Their stroll was so wr.ntlering
and unsettled in its plan that each oecasioiwrily left the oth
ers, in pursuit of flower, or berry, or bird; and Ellen, iq un
usually Inch glee, was flitting about like a mere child, when
it suddenly occurred to her that, though Kate was constant
ly railing her back to adrni e something which Mr. Gray bad
found, the gentleman showed no particular anxiety to detain
her.
" Please, Mr. Gray,” sard she, 11 may I have leave of ab
sence for half an hour 7 1 don’t like to be *fle trop,* ” and
with a laugh at Kate's look of consternation amf Mr. Gray’s
. riling color, she darted* off into a shady path, and was sion
out of sight.
I have admitted that Ellen was discreet; and instead of
joining them at the end of half an hour, she walked quietly
home, and telling her grand parents that Kate had strolled
farther with the minister she tried to wait patiently her re
turn. It was quite dark, and the old people were getting
anxious before this happened—and then Mr. Gray stepped
in to say Kste must not be scolded, and so bade trood night
in all. with a pressure of the hand to Ellen, so kind that she
couTdi not help laughing, and asking his forgivenes i for run
ning away from them; and thereupon, the minister said,
M God blesa you Ellen,” with an earnestness that proved it
n come from his h *art, and was off.
M Cousin Knte.” said Ellen, whispering to her cousin. 41 1
hope for the future you will value more my sage city and
penetration, ami believe, if I am a belle, j am almost as
wise as you.”
"Wiser* great deal, and the best cousin in the world.”
said Kate; and she kissed Ellen so affectionately, that the
old people wondered what it could all mean.
I will say nothing of the gossip of the town, when it was
known the next day. that our Kate, so nicely adapted to an
eld maid's life, was to be the wife of the ministar.

Oregon.
Gen. Cass, in his Oration at Fort Wayne,
on the 4th ult., has the following passage:
“ Perhaps, while I address you, measures
are in progress to wrest from us our teiritory
west of the Rocky Mountains. Island after is
land, country after country, are falling before
the ambition of England. She is planting her
standard wherever there is a people to be sub
dued, or the fruits oftheir industry to be se
cured. With professions of philanthropy she
pursues the design of ambition and she is en.
circling the globe with her stations wherever
she can best accomplish her scheme of aggran
dizement. It is my deliberate opinion, that no
nation, since the fall of the Roman power, has
displayed greater disregard for the rights of
others, or more boldly aimed at universal do
mination.—Our claim to the country west of
ihc Rocky Mountains is as undeniable tis our
right to Bunker Hill or New Orleans; and
who will cull in question our title to these
blood-stained, fields ? And T trust it will be
maintained with a vigor and promptitude equal
to its justice. War is a great evil, but not
so great as national dishonor. Little is gain
ed by yielding to unjust and insolent preten
sions. It is better to defend the first inch of
territory than the last. Far better, in dealing
with England, to resist aggression, whether of
territory, of impressment, or of search, when
first attempted, ihan to yield in the hope that
forbearance will be met in a just spirir, and
will lead to an amicable compromise.—Let us
have no red lines upon the map of Oregon.
Lei us bold on to the integrity of onr just
claim—and if war comes, be it so. I do not
mydflf believe it will be long avoided, unless
prevented bv intestine difficulties in the British
empire. And wo bs to u?, if we flatter our
selves it enn.be arrested by any sysfem of con
cession ; of ult delusions, this would be the fa
tal ; and we should awake from it a dishonor
ed, if not a ruined people.”

by the resignation of Obi. John 11. Lamar.
We have great pleasure in .announcing lo our Democrat'
ic readers, the name of H. V. Johnson, as a candidate for
Congress in the place of J. B. Lamar, Bs<i, resigned. Mr.
Johnson has resided mtlie county of Jefferson, where the

not to be thus obscured.' Intrepid in the suppoit of his
principles—talented and eloquent in enforcing them on oth

The weather latterly, has been most propitious
for picking out Cotton—we may, therefore, expect
to see the article rapidly rolling in, in a few days;
and, ftoin present, and prospective appearances',
every tiling seems to favor a busy and profitable
season tothe merciianland planter.
The aix tf business and activity which yesterday
morning lighted up the faces ofouroperators, seem
cd strongly to indicate tliat Cotton Gimblets would
be in great demand. It was refreshing to a man of
business after the dull tedium of the summer
months to see those signs of a renovated trade.
Several loads of this year’s crop, have arrived
since our last. We quote 5J to 6 cents. The Li
verpool and New York markets are represented in
a healthful state—ail inspired and sanguincly look
ing forward to a modification of the existing Ta
riff’, by our next Democratic Congress.
Wc are informed that the amount of goods on
their way to our city, is much larger than at any
previous year, and that arrangements have been
made by several houses to transact a wholesale
business. Wc think our Country Merchants, who
iiave been in titc habit of passing through to obtain
their supplies elsewhere, will advance iheit inter

Mr. H. J. Chalmers, of Monrye county, 1ms
politely left at our office, a boirle of S\Kl 1’,
made from tfie common Corn Stalk. Wc Iiave

Louisiana Syrupwe ever tasted—it has nothing of
the acridity often delected in other Syrups, and
particularly in molasses; but leaves upon the pa
late a pleasant and agreeable sensation, tliat irre
sistibly makes you smack your lips.
Mr. Chalmers refers us to a communication lie
sent the Messenger, shewing his experimental op
erations in making the Syrup, but as it has not
yet appeared in that paper, we are deprived, for
the present, the gratification of presenting it lo our
readers.
Mr. C. informs us, that Ire is perfectly satisfied
he could have made Sugar; but he had no shallow

The Otorgia Journal.
This paper still persists in its erroneous state
ments. In its issue of the 22d ult. referring to the
elections fn North Carolina and Tenti’cssed, the
Journal said, that “the result of these two elections
shows clearly that the Whig party has the ascen
dency, larsr.ly, in- each State,” and that this
•'gratifying news lo die friends of Mr. Clay all
over the Union would strike terror to- the hearts of
his adversaries!”—-This we denied; but the Jour
nal still adheres to its unauthorized assertions —
Now, let us see, more fully, what are the facts?
In Tennessee, this year, “the majority of Jones,
(W.) over Polk, (D.) for Governor, is 4219. The
Whig-majority in 1841, was 3,334, and in 1840,
11,572—making a Whig loss since 1840, of 7,353-
So much for the result of the-gubernatorial elec
tion. What has been the result of the Congress
ional elections in the same Stare? We answer,
six Democrats to five Whigs. “In the last Con
gress Tennessee had thirteen members:—eight
Whigs and five Dtemnetats. The Whigs iiave
lost three, the Democrats gained one—tire nett gain
to the Demociais, four." Does this justify the
Georgia Journal in saying, that the result of the
elections in Tefmessee “show clearly that the
Whig party have the ascendency, largely, in that
State!” ’Pshaw, the man’s demented.
Well—what says old Rip Van Winkle, within
whose limits none oilier than Congressional elec
tions have taken place this year 1 In the last Con
gress, like Tennessee, North Carolina had thir
teen members—eight Whigs and five Democrats.
In the next Congress, the Democrats will have five,
and the Whigsfour. Tho Whigs have las: three—
the Democrats gained one—the nett gain to the
Democrats four. Here then wo have, from au

It is all in vain, however, tlie Clayitcs will not
correct their cirors. even after being convinced
that they are wrong. There is again, for instance,
the Journal’s unwarrantable assertion, that both
Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Van Buren arc friendly to a
system of direct taxation, still permitted to work a
false influence upon the minds of the readers of
that paper—at least, upon the mimls of a9 many
of them as do not subscribe to any other paper—

paper.
Mr. Editor:—In your paper of the 3d inaLant, “a Whig 1
undertakes tojustify Mr Clay, by pouring ont a sbower of
ubuse on those lire modestly designates as the Calhoun fac-
tion. A Whig says, "but nothing exhibits the reckless des
peration of this Ciilii 'Un faction in so unprincipled an
pect, a* their insinuations against Mr. Clay upon the sub-
iecl of slavery ; they do not charge him with Abolition prin
ciples—ill no. not tltey r but they seem absolutely surprised
at their own moderation in not doing so.; they are very con
scientious gentlemen; they only desire the people to be
lieve that which they know to be- false and have not the
boldnesi to charge as true; they who could thus trifle with,
this momentous question are enemies to>the South and de
serve berdeepert execrations."
Now friend "Whig,” facts are stubborn things, and here
they are: In the life of Henry Clay, published under tlie
superintendence of the Whig General Committe of the city

the people of Kentucky were about electing a Convention
to-fibrin a new Constitution for that fc»tate, Mr. Clay may be 1

wa? bearing on his bark bravely toward die heaven of
worldly prosperity and renown ; the most important feature-
in t!'e plan for a new Constituuon submitted to the people of
Kentu- "ky, was a provision for the prospective eradication
of slavery frpo the State by means of a gradual emancipa
tion of those be'd in bondage. Against this proposal a tre
mendous outcry w.’s at once raised, U was not to be ques
tioned that the voice uf the majority was vehemently oppo-

But a-ain, on the 13th page, you wilt find Mr. Clay in

It is truly iuditrous to hear with what a gust of
joy the Clayites receive the result of the little char
ter election in Savannah. When taken inreonnec-
tion with’their actual prospects throughout the
Slate, it reminds us of the man who was run over
by a rail road car and had both his legs cut oifo--
“O, d-— it,” said lie, “I am glad it ia no worse.”
Query. Who authorized the Messenger to say,
that the tnercliantsofSavannah are “mostly whigs?”
Have they turned whigs since the last general elec
tion ? If there iias been any turning, it must have
been we reckon-on the other side of the house.

The Messenger thinks that a white blackberry
is a “singular anomaly in the line of fruits.” We
think not—for, why may not a blackberry, like
Sambo’s black-bird, live so long tliat it will change
its color, and turn white or grey ? Vegetables and

Ono of our correspondents has truly’ observed,
iliat our neighbor, whenever l*b hard pushed,
either flies to titc Cow-pen or tlie Temple of Cloaci-
nea for the purpose of easing his mind. We nad
fondly hoped that the lecture which was read him,
would have induced tlie Messenger to abandon,
this naughty practice, and that he would “reform
it altogether”—he certainly should know, that it
is a custom “more honored- in- the breach than' the
observance”—but, alas, he is at it again; and wo
now find him, in the foregoing quotation, scratch
ing his head with the intent of cracking a joke up
on us—but, if “ho has many more such jokes (a

whose taste is in his peculiar keeping, that ho will
crack- them in private.
It is true, that it is reported that the report of
John Ross’ being killed is erroneous—but, it is
equally true, that he holds his life by a very pre
carious tenure, and that the torcli of civil discord
is lit up among the Clterokees: it is also reported
by official despatches, received by the Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs at Washington city, that
Bushybead and Hicks, (both Ross men.) have
been murdered, and that David Vann. Treasurer
of the Nation, was dangerously wounded.
In noticing those lamentable events, we said,
that the feud which divides the Ross and Hicks
party, originated in Georgia, during the time the
Clterokees resided-within our limits;—and, that it
was fostered; if not promoted by Henry Clay’s un
fortunate interference with our Indian Affairs, is
well known to all acquainted with, the history of
We, therefore, with strict and critical
propriety, deduced theinference, that Henry Clay,
being thus, accessory before the. fact, to the civil
dissensions alluded to, became, to all intents and

Nbnfflinx in ranks—Ihc Messenger.
Come, come, Mr. Messenger, “honor bright,”
—no dodging the questions, but meet them fairly,
openly, and above board. In fully ansvvering all
your interrogatories, we set you a frank, unreser
ved, and ingenuous example, and, we had a right,
to expect from you, a reciprocating exercise ol
oourtesy—but, you have disappointed us r
You have only noticed two of our interrogato
ries and that in a very lame and unsatisfactory
manner. The questions thus noticed, are those
having reference to the last Tax Bill, and Mr,
Crawford’s free negro vote. You say, in allusion
to the first, that you have not condemned the vole
of Mr. Crawford—ifyou have not, you must then,
by an irrcsistable conclusion, condemn tho vote of
Mr. Stephens, who voted against, whilst tho fore
mergentleman, voted.for tlu39atne Tax Bill, Both
cannot be riatu—one, or the other, must be wrong.
Upon which then, docs your condemnation rest;
You will, certainly, not leave us to infer, that you
blow hot and cold with the same breath, by saying,
both are right—that Mr. Crawford is right, be
cause ho voted for tlie Ta-\ Bill; and that Mr. Ste
phens is right, because he voted against tfie Tqx
Bill! Such logic will not satisfy the people,—
Upon which horn of the dilemma will you then
stick ? Do, toll.
The rop’y to the free negro vote of Mr. Craw
ford is not much more satisfactory. [We take oc
casion here, to disclaim all “idea of imputing Ab
olitionism” to that gentleman—but, we must be
permitted tn-oliserve, that his*views of public poli
cy do.not exactly correspond with tliose generally
entertained by the people of Georgia,] Tojustify
that vole, the Messenger presents us with an ar
ray of names—but in doing so he has "remembered
to fotget” his own favorite argument, in the case
of Mr. Toombs, jtliat those gentlemen are not "her
fore the- people’ Our neighbor cannoj—indeed
we know he will not object, to our turning his own
argument upon him—an argument too, be it re
membered, that brought borne conviction to bis
own penettating mind.

replying to but two of our interrogatories, what a
sad fix would he have been in, had be essayed the
