True, he plungi s no weapon into*the flesh; but how deep and cureless are the vulnrrations of the loser’s mind, while lie leaves hum enraptured at h:s conquest and splendid front the completed ruid f It may be objected, that both arc equal ly in f-.ultq since they endeavour for mutual spoliation ; —and, consequently,cruelty is teo harsh an application. But does the recipro city of the deed remove its attendant fierce ness? On the contrary, it only renders it more lamentably observable. It should be remembered, too, that the finished pumcsU r seldom combats w itli his peer, but seeks a novice for his plunder. The truth is, gamb lin'* is an inexcusable disgrace to this coun try; and an attempt to connect it with inno cent amusement is only a wretched perversion of the term. A social game of cards is, per haps, not culfiablc, where, we suppose, plea sure will r.ot degenerate into excess, or bene volence into Selfishness. JSut the routine of the regular gambler, one who makes it liis profession, and braves all conseqnciiccs, de serves no epithet but greedy and merciless. There seems to be a living paradox in the present age ; charity is the colloquial subject of the drawing-room, sympathy and tenrlcrcst sentiments drop glowing from ready tongues, and yet dinner-parties retire from the feast for reciprocal endeavours of plunder! The host will frequently invite his guest, and re pay the hospitality of tlie table by sending hi tn purge loss to bis abode ! It is a uoloriou;. and sickening fact, that many of the metro ixilitan resorts of amusement often contain the daughters and mothers quadrilling in the ball room, W’hiic the father is ruining himself and their fortunes at the card-table. This speaks volumes on the moral degeneracy of the times. Even women now, —they, whose bosoms should be the stainless sanctuaries of none but .soothing passions, arc becoming garn- I lers. What a repulsive spectacle, to observe a female face expressing all the feelings of a thorough blackleg! to observe eyes tiiat w< re made for beaming fondness, darting glances of inward spleen and resentment; —lips whence delicate tones should only be breath ed,curled up in anger and masculine stern ness! Once more, and we will leave this to pic. May .we not expect that future years will increase the prevalence of feminine gntnestt rs ? Woman, whose weight of years should be supported bv matronly dignity and reverential aspect, are now employed from midnight to morn at the gambling-table, and betray all its concomitant vices in the pre sence of their youthful oilspring. What must be the state of society when fashionable mothers thus wantonly forget their character, and permit their children to witness their de pravity—in after-times to represent it! Theodore was the son of a country gentle man, equally blessed iii the affect ion of father and mother: the days of his childhood were attended with those cares and prud nt indul gences so necessary to mould the future man lor active life and virtuous consistency. Ear ly initiated into the duties of self-cultivation, arid taught properly to estimate the good qualities of the heart, at nineteen lie was such a son that a father might be proud to recog nise. Each vacation found his studies great ly advanced, and liis capacity enlarged for the enjoyments of taste and intellectual pur suits. His versed acquaintance with the hards of Greece and Rome, together with tin delicious ones of his own country, bad engen dered a love for the muse; which, though unexpressed in words, was embalmed in the heart. 11c examined Nature with the eye of a poet, and drew an indescribable inspiration from her varied scenery. The grouping clouds of an cv ning sky folding round the sun, as if in homage for the light of day, were to him r ot merely beautiful—something beyond this—a spectacle that awoke visions which were shadowed forth in fancy and pen sive ecstasies. The stars of night,—the ver dant spread of tile distant meadow,—the- 1 cor ing mountain anil the sleeping vale, —all were looked on by him with a mental delight.— Those who, at this period of liis life, beheld him accomplished, gentle, and amiable—one who would have trembled at wilful vice— could scarcely have imagined that lie would ever be the victim of vicious folly ; but such the conclusion of this brief sketch will show him. These traits of Theodore's youthful character arc mentioned, in order to illustrate the for.ee of corruption, even on a rtfined soul and caltieerie J imagination. ' At the decease of liis father, Theodore ar rived in the metropolis, to pursue the usual course of liis chosen profession. Dr. John son lias remarked, “ to a man whose pleasure is intellectual, London is the place.” Theo dore felt this; and had lie been blessed with as much firmness ns refinement of soul, lie would have realized all liis fancy had pictur ed. lie entered on the busy arena of the metropolis with sanguine hopes, and rrrolu. tions which, he thought, woukhnever he liro. ken. His mother, aware of the many peril, ous temptations in London, fondly and earn, estly alluded to them on tiieir farewell even ing. She did not expect he would he impru dent, but she had known others, similarly s.- Itiatcd, to fall; apd, tinrefore, her parting tear w as not an omen of her sou’s misfortune, but the fond betrayer of internal anxiousness lor his welfare. A tear from liis mother’s eye was ever followed by another from The odore's with instantaneous sympathy, and, as he staled his last kiss on her lips, the lan. guage of liis heart was, —“ Can I ever de ceive, or pain such a mother —never !” Theodore hud not resided long in London, ere iiis father’s grave his mother. Hut alas! a few years hud deteriorated his'principles and debased liis heart. The death of a mo ther for a while carried him Hack to the hours of childhood, —lie thought of w hat lie teas, and what lie had been. It w;is true- liis let ters bad deceived her. a;.d that she left the world with the conviction of Ins future pros perity ; still conscience was not yet sufficient ly stilled out to upbraid him. lhit lie was leagued too closely with his rum to escape ii ! It would he tedious to trace his career, from the moment of his arrival in to the morning on which he was informed of Ins mo ther’s death. It will be enou; Ii to account for the conclusion, to state that his profession It td introduced him to the acquaintance ol some dissipated young men ; his natural goo.|. ucss of heart fora while foiled each t< in {sta tion ; but as long as tins was the cast , be was toe companion!* ss to be happy. He did not continue bis rcyiatcncr; one visit to a gaum, ling-housc was speedily followed by othcre. At first, lortune Mtvnded lum, and lie 'return ed for several evenings with increased pro perty. Rut it was this very luck that occa sioned his rujr. : he now hazarded to play high, and atone game lost all hisloriner gains. By various means lie had contrived to dispose of his property to supply liis exigencies, and was now about to risk liis last sum. Many were the palpitations of liis heart throughout die day. Sometimes he determined to retire for ever from the scene of his rum; —but tlien tiie remembrance of liis losses, and the hope that this last ri.~U would recover them, inter rupted the half-formed resolution, and allured him to the trial. The bom came at last, and with a thrilling bosom did Theodore take bis accustomed seat at the gnmbling-tSldc. He knew that his all was risked, and this fata! truth chilled every limb, and woke up the cautiousness es terror and hope. If lie rose a winner, lie should then be free to renounce his present mode of life, and return to that of peace and virtue; if not, there was noth ing but despair to r< for to, and its dictates to follow! He sat tremblingly opposite his ad versary, and commenced the game. The lir.-t two throws of the dice were equal on both sides, — it now depended ori tlie last one fi r the termination of the eontc-st. Theodore number was low, though not so low but bis adversary’s might be more so. He watched with breathless anxiousness the ra ising of his arm, —heard the dice rattle, —too plainly saw the icy sternness of his adversa ry’s features, —murmured a tone of anguish, —the dice was thrown bv Death ! roukHn.

It is not easy to coWf-ct with what object, art'll from w hat cause, this movement has been made. It was at first supposed an attack would be made by'Don Pedro’s forres on Lisbon.

Several arrests of persons implicated in political plots have taken pla. e recently in the Roman states. Accounts from Constantinople state, that Ibra him Pacha was seriously ill, arid that the Rus sian army was ill full end regular retreat.

The tendency of misrepresentations anu sug gestions, which, it may he inferred from this spe cimen, enter into more important correspondences of the w riter, to promote in foreign councils, at a critical period, views adverse to the peace and to the best interests of our country, render the contents of the letter of sufficient moment to be made known to the Legislature. JAMES MADISON. January 10th, lbl 1. Translation of a Letter from Loul , de Onis to the Captain General of the Pro vince of the Caraccas, ilated Philadelphia, 2d Feb. IRIO. The Admiiiistrationof this Government having put tlie stamp upon the servile meanness and ad ulation in which they stand in relation to their or acle Bonaparte, the day before yesterday, by their direction, Mr. Eppes, the son-in-law of the for mer President, Jefferson, made a proposition that a Minister should De tmmrtlmictj j—-l Bonaparte, at Madrid : this was supported in the Committee in which the House then was by Mr. Cutts, who is the brother-in-law- of President Madison. There were various debates . there were bowlings in the tribunals : there were sar casms against the Supreme Central Junta, and many trilling observations from one party and the other, among which mention was made of the arrival of a Minister from the Supreme Junta, and of this Government’s having wisely refused to receive him ; and at length a vote was taken, from which it resulted that, for the present, no Minister was to be sent to Joseph. In the annexed paper you w ill see all the de bates, which, for want of time, I have not been able to have translated: if your Excellency should not bo informed, by my former despatch es, of the mode of thinking of the present Ad ministration, this alone will shew the little hope there is of obtaining any thing favorable from it, hut hi/ energy, by force, and liy chastisement. Tlie facility. I again repeal it, and .1 will repeat it a thousand times, with which American ves sels arc admitted into our colonies, preferring them to our own, makes these people believe, that cur weaknessdoes not permit us even to talk to tlrem on equal terms, much less to take mea sures which may injure tirun. From hence springs tlie great opinion (la grande opinion) they have, that lire intruder, Joseph, will rule in Spain and her colonies; and hence the incite ment to their scandalous conduct, in promoting, by every means in their power, the maebinatit«» of Joseph, t.i make himself master cf our colo nies ; as if upon that depended their happiness. The determination .of making w ar on England, anJKf treating Spain with contempt, supposing that her nullity did not entitle her to any thing cisc, was taken by the present Administration some lime since, though it Was not in them the determination of reason. • To accomplish it, they thought of forming an alliance, offensive and de. fensive,between France, Russia, Denmark, Swe den, and tho United Mtates ; and some even sup pose that it is firmed.— n'lih this object, they have sent Mr. Adams to the Court cf Petersburg, in quality of Minister Plenipotentiary, directing him to examine on his way (h.iciendole recorcr al paso) thcCourts of.Stockholm and Copenhagen; hut, notwithstanding this, if England should dis play her energy, in however small a degree, and if, on onr part, some vessels should be sent to their coasts, and some troops should draw near, to Louisiana, there is reason to believe that we should see these Provinces, separated and divided into two or three Republics, and consequently they would remain in a state of perfect nullity. ; .

The States Rights party at Charleston, ani mated by gratitude for the zeal,and disinter estedness, with which that distinguished ci tizen, Robert J. Turnbull supported the State of S. Carolina ill her lute arduous struggle, have determined to erect a monument, to perpetuate the memory of iiis services,. While S. Carolina already thus rets towards her son scarcely cold in his grave, Spencer 'Roane sleeps w ithout memorial, the grave of Jef ferson is undistinguished, and no suggestion lias In tn made to roar a monument in honof of John Randolph, When Virginians are-asked for the monu ments to the memory of Virginia's illustri ous sons, the accustomed reply is, that they find a monument in each Virginian’s heart; implying a censure upon the custom, and as suming that the gratitude of their country men confers an honor superior to brass or marble. That is true, hut it should not ex clude a more sensible demonstration of grati tude and affection, liis gratitude will he more highly appreciated, and more clearly proved, who contributes something from his means to hand down to after ages, tlie memo ry cf the great patriotic dead. N irginia has taken refuge in this plausible but false senti ment, to excuse her retnisness in providing for the transmission of the glory of Iter emi nent dead, anti tlie memory of their deeds in behalf of human liberty. Parsimony and in dolence are the parents of the itlea, and not conviction of its truth and worthiness of ac ceptation. But, gratitude to the public benefactor, though the originating cause of structures to the honor of the dead, is not the argument which, chiefly recommends them. There is a solid utility in them; not the encourage ment which they afford to tire arts, though (hat would remunerate tho expenditure—but a high moral utility. They address them selves to the hearts of youth. They* kindle emotions of patriotism, and honorable ambi tion. They speak inspirin o ly to tlie gener ous ami brave. They bring sensibly before his eyes, a fame which is immortal, and they man liis emulation to deserve the same glori ous destiny.

We like the suggestion, and will give it our hearty support, if any ef fort is seriously made to get up such a Con vention. The press of this country is in ma ny respects degenerate, and unworthy the .character which its conductors should enjoy for honesty, independence, intelligence and gentility.

From all that we can learn, as well from private information as public manifestation of the people’s wishes, Mr. Leigh seems destined to he a prominent candidate tor the Presiden cy ; and w bat is more important, to be the can didate of the State Rights Party of Virginia- I-ct us not be misunderstood, or supposed to mean what we do not say- There is a Party, in \ a., comprising we think at this time, a majority of its citizens, & daily increasing, who believe in the Resolutions of I >OB, and who interpret those resolutions as meaning something more than the right of petition and remonstrance—men who claim for the States a substantial, conservative remedy against the cvilsof unauthorized federal legislation. In dividual members of this great, unorganized body may have differed in their views of the South Carolina controversy—they may have approved tiic course of that State, as men will differ in the application of principles, in which they agree ; but they are unanimous in their condemnation of the President’s Proclama tion. We mean not such condemnation as Mr. Ritche’s—amounting in all, as we under stand him, to a difference of opinion on some matters of history, and some doctrinal points, trivial, we presume, as they have not been specified—but an unqualified disapprobation of those abstractions of that document, which were practically embodied in the Bloody Bill. This is the party whch we believe will seek to elevate Mr. Leigh to the Presidency of the United States. The position which we occupv does not per mit us to become tlie partizuns of any man. We fought for cur principles when we stood •almost alone, against the men in power and their parasites ; and we will not now hazard them after the victory they have achieved, by submitting to have the harness of personal par ty fitted to our backs. We have seen the error of others, and will take warning from their example. But we do not deny that we would very far prefer Mr. Leigh to any other can didate wlio is likely to be before His commanding talents and varied acquire ments—lns chastened ambition, which never accepted anoflicc but where he could be pre eminently useful—the patriotism, in others a sentiment in him a passion—his elevated char acter—and last, not least in times like these, his entire exemption from the entanglements of party—these, collectively, present a com bination ofqulities, not possessed perhaps, by another individual in the Union. We speak not from our personal acquaintance with this gentleman—that is slight, and has not extended beyond an interchange of civili ties in public. Our information; is derived from the testimony of those who know him well, and from evidence that isopen to all. We are not nominating a candidate for the Presidency. The people have been led long enough by Editors, and are wisely taking this affair into their own hands. Efforts have been, and doubtless will be made, to check this growing spirit of self-government. Every tiling that management can effect, will he ef fected by those who thrive in the corruption of tiid fiTCS. Alarmed at the spirit of indepen dence willed l l,e people of our common wealth arc exhibiting,the pC'. v managers are discour aigng every |>opular movomejl Bie plau sible sophistry that has been so oiliCJt but **i requsition, for the same unholy purpose- They tell us first, that it is too early to agitate the question—next, that Mr. Leigh cannot be elected, because he is not sufficiently known—and lastly, it is objected, that these prooccedings of the people will divided the Republican Party. The first of these objec tions is the one mainly roiird on because it is hoped that it the present enthusiasm of the people can be checked, they will be discour aged from any general efforts in favor of Mr. Leigh hereafter. In the moan lime, the man agers will take care to have a number of can uidates in the field, when the cards will be stocked, and a Convention u la Baltimore got up to plav them out. After that, we shall lie told that it is too late for the people to nom inate a candidate. And if Mr. Leigh is really worthy of the Presidency, it appears to us, that the second objection obviates the lirst. i’iic best possible way to make him known to the people of the other States, is to bring him to their notice as early as possible. Nor can we sec how the nomination of a popular candidate is to divide the- Republican ranks. We see very clearly, that it may dis tract the counsels of the politicians; hut if any thing can concentrate public opinion on one man, and thus prevent division, it is the course that the people are now pursuing. W’c regard this as the same battle that has been fought every where, with various results. It ;s the battle of the many against the few— of those who by their arms and fortunes defend and support the Government against those who seek to engross the honors and emolu ments of office—it is the battle of the People against their Rulers. And whether Mr. Leigh or some other Republican shall be nominated by the meeting that-arc assembling throughout the country, wo say, with all our our hearts, “Goo steed the good clause !” 'I lie intelligence from Athens we arc hap py to announce, is of the most cheering and satisfactory character. On no preceding oc casion perhaps, was tlie assemblage at that place more distinguished for numbers and high respectability—nor the results more gratifying, whether we advert to the unanimi ty sentiment pervading the representation of thc.Stutc Rights party convened at Athens, or to the talents and proficiency displayed by the studqpts, the rising hope of Georgia, through their examinations and other exer cises ; we have heard of their performance with unfeigned pleasure—it is the “promise of good things to come” for their country. The republic is safe. The Old Troup party is sound to the core, “ ft idc awake, one and indivisible, the loins girded for tiroapproach ing contest. J hey go into it with a unanimity and de termination that; with Heaven’s blessing, must ensure success. Their principles, those ot the A irginia and Kentucky resolutions ot 93, other lules ot practice, those of Troup in 1-325. c repeat it with unlimited con bib nee, the Republic is safe—the proceed mgs of the Convention will follow to the tal i’l"^l t their precedent in infamous corruje tion, the \azoo Bill. A high principled and undeviating disciple of Jefferson, Joel Craw- Ion! will be placed in the executive. Fiom tuc unsullied integrity-, the temperate, yet in flexible determination of that gentleman’s character, bis thorough knowledge of the principles of our government and the rights end just sense lie entertains of the value of the l iiiu:), every honest citizen niuv rc*t sat. isfied that to no hands can the interests and honor of Georgia, and as far as she is con corned, the preservation of the Constitution and the Union, be more safely confided than to those of Alaj. Joel Crawford.— Macon Met senger. Political Principles —There is one thin? we like in the federal press—they come out openly and fairly. They give you their polj. tical creed, and battle for it fairly, with the collar gentlemen. In thc’firstplace* you cannot tell what their crce'd is, or rathe' their creed is composed of contrary propos * tions. They believe in the Virginia and Ken" tucky resolutions, and they believe in the Proclamation. —They believe, or rather thev did believe, when it was the fashion at the white house, in Ilaync and Rowan, and they also believe in Webster—that is, they did be lieve in him. We believe, howc’vor, that portion of their faith is evaporating. But so it is, that believing in alt these i n . compatible things, they explain them away Ac. that neither we nor any one else can te’li what their creed is, except it be this. We believe whatever Andrew Jackson believes as soon as we can find that out. ’ Who can tell what their creed is? \\ e venture to hut half a dozen numbers of our Register of Debates, that neither the editor of the Portland Advertiser, who lias lately made a tour through the States, partly with this object in view, nor the editor of Nation, al Gazette, who being the conductor of a re! view, must, ex tffirio, know more than any one else of the corps, t-.or the editor of the Baltimore Republican, who has a peculiar aptitude, ride Baltimore Chronicle, in telling a serious tiling from a joke, can tell what ate their principles. It would be gratifying\ 0 us and to their readers if each of the above named editors would tell us what, in their opinions, arc the principles which one o£ them is defending and the other opposing. We confess we are sometimes at a loss j. bout it. We arc contending against a triple headed monster, that is neither of the sea nor the earth, and certainly not of the heal vens. Some arc in favor of this monster be. cause it is “ pure democracy.” Others, be cause it is “ pure concentrated federalism.” Some, on account of its liberality in having prominent federalists in the cabinet; others because it scouts federalists and federalism! Some, because it is in favor of the tariff • others, because it is against it. Some, be! cause it has put down the principles of ’93 ; others, because it sustains and supports those principles, and has brought over to the party the old federalists and Hartford convention men, convincing all of them of the sinful ness of their ways. Some, because it advo cates a bill to put down Georgia, and others, because it supports Georgia. Some, because it avows a determination to carry into execu tion the laws passed by Congress; others, be cause it lias determined the contrary, unless it pleases its fancy so to do. Some, because— but why need we go on and depict this piotcan monst r.— V. S. Ti I. ADDRESS, To the Friend* of Stnte Itlglitg aii«l State lie medic** Ihj Candy Itagud. In the last number of the “ Banner of the published on the 91st of De cember, I 5 32, a Prospectus was issued by the Editor of that Journal, for the publication of a Daily and Tri-weekly paper, to he entitled, “The Examiner,” to lie pledged to the sup. port of the old Republican doctrines of ’9B, us bold during the times that tried men's souls. bv the eminent patriots who contribed to ar, rest the march of usurpation so flagrantly at tempted by the Federal Government, in the enactment of the Alien and Sedition Laws. Subsequent to the appearance of that Pros pectus, various events occurred to render the establishment of the paper impracticable. The impetuous current of Consolidation let loose by the fatal Proclamation of the 10th of December, and which was aftciwards at the North, rendered irresistible by the passage of the Bill which converted into a governniant of force and blood, one which had been es tablished upon the principles of mutual con cession and peace, has swept away almost eve ry shadow ot devotion to the Rights of the States, which at the period of our early histo ry were considered to he the great pillars of Liberty. Amidst this wreck of principles, the number of those who, in this region,still adhere to the true faith, and who arc superior to the influnce of that vile and degrading manacorship which has thus prostrated the republican cause, and who at the same time Jiavc sufficient independence openly to avow their sentiments, is too limited to afford a pa tronage adequate to the support of a daily pa per; and all who arc familiar with the expen ses of publication, well know, that, without a large daily subscription, or an extensile advertising patronage, as its basis, a tri-week ly paper cannot be advantageously sustain*' • In recurring to this discouraging fact, "hie i we do with great regret, as well on ouromi account as one account of the gloomy aspe* which the northern horizon must preseu o the eyes of our fellow-citizens of the Sou , we arc no-., however to he understood as a >*>"- dolling all intention of co-oopcrating wit ' friends of free government at the Soutn.
