LCOMMCNICATID.j
Heart. Editors:—As you were not present at
the Clay meeting held iu our city on Saturday
night, I propose to give you and the public at
largo an outline of tho startling doctrines then and
there promulgated and of their actings aud do
ings in tho premises.
Yoo are well avraro of the object of tho whole
movement. A few timid politicians, afraid of
their own shadows—having come to the so
lemn determination to surrender all tho rights of
the South in the nowly acquired Territory rather
than have a fuss about it, got up a call for a public
.meeting in this city, for tho purpose of sustaining
the Bill reported by the Committee of Thirteen°,
commonly called Clay’s Adjustment Bill. After
draining ond running round town for four days
and a half they at last succeeded in getting about
130 signatures to their call.
Well, they mot, and after the Committee re
ported their Resolutions to tbo meeting, Col. A.
P. Powers rose and spoke in substance as fellows:
"He said the sentiments contained in tbe reaola-
tions just read were certainly so noble, he could
not help responding to them. They had met for
a noble purpose—to preserve the Union—tho peaco
of the country was disturbed and tho Union en
dangered.” He bad spoken nbout 5 minutes—the
audience seeming restless and not disposed to fa
vor what he bad to say—he came out like a man,
and acknowledged the corn. Says he “gentle
men, I bad intended to make a long speech; bat,
it is no use; I am as good a judge of the popular
pulse as any body—he know tbe people were
against him and did not want to hear him, and
therefore, he would take his scat.” Just at this
time, someone in the crowd cried ont—“That's
rigkt Ab, gub-it up like a matt, you art on tbe wrong
tidt.” Yon never heard such a burst of laughter
and applause in all your life; in fact, it was the
only hearty cheer they had during tho whole
meeting. This honest confession of our friend
Ab produced dreadful consternation and confusion
in the ranks of the compromisers—the Chairman
seemed confused and looked like be could havo
dropped through the floor, J ost here let me say
that I cannot bnt admire the honesty and candor
of onr friend Col. P.—"out of the abuudance of
the heart tbe mouth would apeak”—tho noble and
patriotic impulses of bis generous nature conld
uot be repressed and from the honesty of bis con
fession, I entertain high hopes that he may be yet
found falling in line with those who are prepared
to stand np for the rights of the South at all haz*
zards and to the lost extremity.
Our friend Col. P. having acknowledged himself
so fairly whipped .matters about this timo were get
ting desperate,the meeting was about to prove a sig
nal failure, and something had to bedoue,to rescue,
it from obliquy. I understand they intended hav-
iug no apeecbea, hat Col. P. having frustrated
every tbiug so, it was ueceteary to have a speech
to set matters right. Col. Washington Poe was
called on—be rose and iu his usnally dignified
manner, he proceeeed in sabslanco as follows—
“Follow citizens—He never felt so solemn in all
bis life—Oh1 what a solemn, grave and moment
ous occasiou—said he felt almost as solemn end
sacred as if ho was in a church—next to the wor
ship of God, he considered the object of this meet
ing the mostsscred. Tbe peace of the country wns
disturbed—tkc Union—the Union—tbe gloriont U-
a ion—tbe Union of these Staler was endangered.—
They had come there to make a peace offering—
to oner a great sacrifice upon the common altar of
their conutry—he invoked the shades of tbe father
of his country, and quoted largely (as is usually
done on all such occasions) from Washington's
firewall address, and after singing another pesn to
the Union—tbe gloriont Union, he look bis seat.”
1 have but une remark to mako about Col. P.'s
speech and I will let it pass for what it is worth.—
Well might be say “they had come there to mako
a peace offering”—what sort of a peace offering f
Why an offering of all the newly acquired Terri-
-Sory M.UiM.Abolitionists fur thesako of peace.—
The/ had come there to otltt q g
>e benefit. The groat prosperity and improve-
, of the North, is as much owing to slavery
a South, a* to any tbingelse. It is that which

duct, though furbearing and noblo ill itself, yet
wheu connected with the conduct or tho North,
towards tbe South, and their peraeverauce in Us
baicnras, (as under tho circurostsuces it may be
termed.) we cannot but feel mortified, and doubt
whelhor we have or not carried forbearance into
pusillanimity. It is probably the most virtuous
• * - —irons; forit

contends, is weak aud cowardly, nnd he has only
to continue the contest a little longer, to overcome
end effect bis pnrp.vse. This idea and feeling, w e
bare no doubt, is what impels on a largo portion
of the North, Every sensible man must perceive
tkat it becomes tbe South, aftor her loug furbenr-
sace, to rise up snd set as one man, in defence of
k*r character, as well as of her rights nnd interests.
It becomes her to weigh well her p. tion; but de
lays are dangerous. especially with such an op
ponent, and on such a subject, which has bean so
long tampered with by politicians. We should
bare, at this time, been prompt and decisive in ta
king our position—snd that position should have

tutions and with the Union—if tbo North uro not

Col. A- H. Chappell next rose and with all the
gravity aud seriousness of the former speaker, pro
ceeded anil gave them, as Judge Tracy would
say, “one of bit expantlee t/weebet.” Fellow citi
zens. Oh ! how solemn and serious be left too—
it was indeed a grave and sob-mu occasion that
had brought them together. The Union, tbe glo-
riout Union was iu peril, snd it was high lime lor
ry patriot to rally to its rescue, lie branched
largely on the Non-Intervention doctrine—
t iok up the Clay Compromise Bill, touched upon
some of its features, and leaviug out that which
was the most objectiouable to the South. Spent
the whole of his argument in favor of liio admis
sion of California—said that was tho test question
and made out as ir that was the only isaue iuvolv-
ed in this country. In the face of all hi* past con
trary opiuiot s. be took tbe broad grouud, that in
asmuch us Congress bad neglected to give the peo
ple of California a government end had outlawed
them—the people of California, (that is squatters,
foreigners, Mexicaus, Indians. Buttnuy Bay,
and Australian convictt, &c.) had the inherent
right—a right from tho Divinity himself to hum
so independent State Government without tbe
authority of Congress—apply for admission,
and we bad no right to object to Its admission.—
Said so for as tbo rest of the Territory was con-
eurned, Utah aud Now Mox co. tbo South would
M et all she askad, on account of the North being
so generous, as uol to attach tbe Wilmot Proviso
to them. Oh! buw generous these Northern fel
lows are, Col. C. They havo actually concluded
to relinquish a dsiliug principle which they had
no right to demand iu the that instance, and that,
too wheu they coutead that the "lex loci' is still
in force. Magnanimous contttaon tbit. He want
ed to koow tbo cause of all this controversy T—
why all this peril of the Uuion I It all resolved
itself into this, it was a quarrel over the spoils—like
robbers wo had gaiued spoils and were now quar
relling over them. He asked very significantly,
if we were prepared to peril this Uuiou for tbe
sake of eo equal participation of tbe spoils?—
i.o, but we are ready to peril it rather than permit
a tyrannizing majority to upset the constitution,
and infringe the right of a part. Were Amer-
iran freemen, desccudod from tho blood of
Revolutionary sites, prepared to peril the peace
of Ibis country for tho s .ke of those acquisitions ?
Ho prcfeifed «bo Missouri Compromise fine,
but be was afraid to ask for it for there was
no chance to get it and was willing to take
Mr. Clay'a rather than have auy fust shout it.
Said that we of the 8outh had no right to lay
down a “tine qua non”—lbnl we bad no nght to
say what wt should bate. (1 quote his language
verbatim, and callopon every freeman to make it
well,) That ir we of the South did lay down J6°
30’ as tho ‘•ultimatum," and should civil war grow
out of it, ho for ono. was ready to light Greek to
Greek against those who made tho issue. Aud af
ter siugmg another tnonrufol dirgo to tho Union—
tbe glorious Union,ho took his seal.”
Ouo soy freeman who haa respect for him
self, or love for the cherished institutions of
the South read this brief outline of Colonel C s
speech, without it* rankiug tho very blood boil iu bvs
veins, and fed that it is high timo for the South
to sneak out in lunguago that cannot be mistaken.
The doctrines put forth iu this speech, aro so
itartliug anil-dangerous to the South, it m ust not
pass unnoticed, Col. C. starts out by raising tho
old cry of Union ! Union ! nnd thinks by this catch
rd bo will succeed iu shilling the spirit of the
South, bnt in this ho will find hmiselt moch mista
ken. This semeless cry >'f Union, W» rt**
with a bad grace from Col. C.» *Q old IfMUiffcrt
who wauted to dissolve the L'uion on account ol the
protective tariff—a causo of far less innguitude
than the one iu tbe present issue, involving aa it
docs tho destiny of millions nnd millions of hu-
mun beings. He says lhe Union is in peril—grant
that it is. I nsk. who placed it in peril? Whoso
fault is it? Is is not on account of tbe anti-slave
ry fsnatasoism of tbo North ? It is periled by the
compromise giving so much power to the North.
The South is on*y~ actiug on tho defensive; aud
are wo to be hold rospoiuilile for the duoger that
threatens this glorious Union, w hich Col. C. talks
to largely aboat. He makes the innocent the cul
prit. Because the people of the non slavehtdding
Stales, by their madness, see proper to disturb tbe
peaco and harmony of tho country, does that cousii-
u to any reason why we should surrender all uur ter-
ritorial rights under the constitution, for the nuke of
preserving that Union, which they themselves
have perilled. Thaea who ■take lha right view of
jbjoci,knowtbarais dodabgar of thisUnion
meiidte Territory,
you please, talk to her shout non-intervention
lor the balance. But I deny that any one can
support Mr. Clay’s bill upon the principle of non-
intervention. Let us see how it works, llr.
Olay's bill proposes to admit California as s State,
and how is this State formod ? Why the Execu>
live interpota, orders tho military uud civil Gov
ernors of California, to issue their proclamations
for the formation of a State constitution, prescri
bing bow it is to be done, fixiug the time, sod even
apportioning the representation; and yet Col. C.
w ould have us to believe that this is upon the
principle of non intervention. What next / This
bill proposes that Congress shall actually interfere
betweeu Texas and New Mexico, buy op two
slave States from Texas, and give them to the Free-
Soilera—tbo price to be paid out of the public
treasuiy, and this too is on tho principle of non in
tervention. It next proposes to give Territorial Go
vernments to Utah aud New Mexico, Congress ta
king veiy particular pains to My that no laws
laws concerning African slavery, not even for its
protection, shall be passed, aud declare at tbe same
time by implication that tho “lex loci' is to remaiu
iu force. This too, is non intervention. Next, it
proposes by an act of Congress, to abolish the
slave trade in the District of Columbia, upou tbe
same principle of non intervention. And, lastly, it
interferes between the fugitive slave aud hit mas
ter, in open violation of a plain aud palpable pro
vision of the constitution, nnd says the fugitive
shall have the right of a trial by Jury. Now all
this is what I should call non intrrvfmion wilh a
vengeance. Aud yet CoL C. exhorts the South to
rally, rally to tbe Uuiou, upou the Clay compro
mise upou the principle of non intervention.
Col. C. next takes the broad grouud tint iu as-
much as we have neglected to give California a
government, the people bad the inherent right.
from Divinity himself, to form a State coustitutiou;
demand admission, and we had no right to refuse
the application. (He says “from tbe Divinity him
self.” Why this sounds vory much like Mr Se
ward, wheu he spoke of a “higher law than the
Constitution,”) 1 have not time to argue this ques
tion es to the right of the people - of California to
form aState constitution; upou ibis point ) would
merely ask Col. C. a few questions. Hu be not
heretofore been avowedly opposed to the admis
sion or California? if so, does he now renounce
ail hi* former democratic dbetriues, and go in
with Gen. Taylor, for ilsadiuissiou ? I have heard
this same Col. C. discourse learnedly, for hours, iu
opposition to tbe admission of California, and abuse
General Taylor for every thing he could thiuk of,
for recommending its admission, and said that it
wu an outrage upon tho country. 1 would ask
what is it that has caused “ such a change tu come
over the spirit of bis dream?’ What uew light
bu so suddenly broken in upon hi* understanding
from the wirepullers at Waibitigtau City- I have
not seen Col. Chappell’s letter, but I understand
he takes this position; that if we do uot take Mr.
Clay’s compromise, we will have to take Geueral
Taylor’s plan, aud abuses terribly this schrme of
Geueral Taylor’s. For my part 1 can see no dif
ference between Col. C’s. position, aud ihatassum-
sumed by General Taylor. Col. 0. says California
bu the right to form a State constitution, aud be
admitted. General Taylor says the same thing.
Where, then, is the diflereuce between the two I
Again; if the neglecting to give California a gov
ernment, justifies her in forming a State Constitu
tion, and apply foradmissioii, tbe very same rea
son would justily Utah and New Mexico, in follow
ing the same course. Accurdiug Ibeu, to Col. C’s
poaitiou, they all have the right to come iu as soon
us General Taylor proposes.
Again, he says, all this controversy is a quarrel
over the spoils of conquest, aud ask* very signifi
cantly, if we are prepared tu sever the Uuiou. tor
tbe sake of an equal share iu this terrtoity l That
we presented a humiliating a*|iect iu the eyes of
the world, in 'contending lor our rights in these
comtuuu acquisitions. Whit does this mean, but
that he is prepared to surrender all to the North
rather tbau have a difficulty—my thing, oven ab
ject submission, rather lliuu disunion. Ho then
would lay dowuquietly,under the Wihnot I’ruvisu,
if the North saw proper to attach a proviso to all the
Territory, rather than •odaagoribr Uutvb of timac
Stales. ' Henceforth people of Georgia, you kuow
where to fiud Col. C.
Again, he says; ho prefered the Missouri Com
promise line, but he is afraid to ask lor it, for fear
of getting into a fight, and is therefore willing to
take Mr. Clay’s bill. Well it is certain, if we ne
ver demand it, wo will never get iu Suppose onr
forefathers had talked thus iu ihedaysul tbe rev
olution, does any one presume for a moment, that
they wuuld have achieved their iudotieudeuce ?—
When the sump act was passed, and they were
taxed without representation—sujqiosc they had
folded their arms, lay supinely ou their hacks, aud
aaid, well we should like tu have our iuJepeud-
eucc, but we uro afraid to try it, for fear of getting
iuto a fight, aud civil war with our mother coun
try. It is certain, if thoy had pursued this policy,
they would uever bsve gained their independence.
Oh, shame, shame, upon the sons of such sires, to
bear men talk nbout taking less than their rights,
and if they can't get that, they will take nothing,
rather than have a difficulty. It was uot the val
ue of the taxation lor which our fathers fought,
but it was for the principle, the right to tax tea three
peace per pound implied tbo right to tax oue
hundred peuce. The ouly question then for the
South to determine, is. whether or uot she is emi
tted to an equal share in the common dumaiu of
the United States, if she is, her duly is plam—she
should follow the example of our father* who per
illed all for priuciple, and like them she should
coDlend,ss a matter of principle^ if for uothiug else,
for an equil participation of her rigbta under the
constitution, in the uewly acquired Territory.
But tbe most alarming feature of all, io Col. C’s
speech, is couched in the following lauguago—Ho
raid “ we of tho South had no right to lay dowu a
“sine qua non;” we had uo right to say wlial »e
should bate, aud that if wu did lay dowu 36° 30
as the “sine qua non,” aud civil war should grow
out of it, be for ouo wss icady to fight Greek to
Greet.” Hear it ye freeman of Georgia; ye free
horn sous of tho South—Col. C. says “youbate
no right to lay down a “ sine qua non”—you bate no
right to say what art your right*, or iu other words,
you, like crouching slaves, must take just what the
magnanimous North see properto give you Has it
come to this, that tbe South is to have na voice in
the adjudication of her rights. IVas there ever a
more startling doclriue of Blue light Federalism
announced. What else? Ho tells you, “if you
do Jay down 36°30', as tbe “sine qua non,” ami
civil war should grow out of it, he for one, is ready
to fight Greek to Greet.” Which in plain English,
means, if you get into a fight wilh the Nor’h upon
this issue, that be for one la ready to plunge the
dagger into your bosom, if you should dare to
raise your arm in defence of your right*. Was
there ever such seutimeots put forth in Georgia;
surely the sceptre has fallen from Judesh, if tbo
Sooth does not rise “ n masse,” to rebuke such
doctrines. . ...
In conclusion permit me to state the origin of
this wbulo movement. It is well known that
Gen. Cass and Mr. Clay, desire to be tbe next
candidates for the l’residencv. and Mr. Foote,
and others, the candidates for Vice President.
The great object of these inen is to preserve
the unity of the great natiaual parties, that
thoy may have a chance to ride iuto office. They
kuow tbnt if sectional parties are formed, which
must bo the case, if the South sustains her rights
under tho Constitution, that their hopes lor the
Presidency aud Vico Presidency uro gone. And
hence, they would bo willing to make auy sa
crifice of tile South, for the r*.ike ol preserving
tbo unity of the national parties. Uepee, tin-
great effort, on tbe partof party hacks to stifle and
keep down the public sentimeut of tho South.—
Truly, the South lias fallen upon evil times But
no marvel—Esau sold his birthright lor e mess

here remark, that I am not a member of that
branch of the Church, which has the honor of or
iginating this noble enterprise, nor have I any in
terest whatever, it it, beyond that which a good
citizens should feel, in the literary institutions of
the country.
I am freo to confess too, that I went to the com
ment. with my mind rather unfavorably impressed
in regard to the institution. I have beard a great
deal said, which wu prejudicial to the qualifica
tions of the Professors, the scholarship of the stu
dents. See. &c. 1 was therefore, disposed lo be
somewhat more attentive and critical, than I should
have been uuder the circumstances.
I heard the Junior and Senior Classes examined
on some of tue most important nnd difficult brai
ches of study, aud their answers were alwny
prompt aud correct, with one or two uuimpurtui
exceptions. The Examination, evinced most .a
isfaotorily. that the Professors understand their
duties, and perform them with fidelity, and that
the student* had been assiduous in their applica
tion to study. This much, I cau say, with all
truthfulness.
Wednesday was devoted to the Commencement
exercises. Thirty young ladies were graduated,
twenty-nine of whom read compositions, which
were generally, remarkably well, written; and
some of them would have been creditable to aoy
instifntion in onr country. Without intending to
make any invidious distinctions, ! would name the
following pieces, as very fair specimens of correct
literary taste—-•The pen is mightier than the
sword," by Missi<ara'i|M. Lester, Thomas county

C. C. Solomon, Twiggs county, Ga. And last,
though not least, the Valedictory, by Mist Oetavia
Jones, of Aiken, South Carolina. This was admit
ted on all hands, to be tho best composition, which
was read; aud I thiuk. I may venture to say, that
whether we consider the matter of the E-say, or
the style io which it wns prouonneed, it will com
pare favorably with Buy thing that 1 have ever
iieard. Miss Joins has, by this address, gaiued
for herself an enviable reputation, nnd the impres
sion, which tbe made n|iou the hearts of her audit
ors, will not soon be eflaced. I have ueverseen
more emotion produced oil any similar occasion.
The Address of Col- Trusias C. Howard, of
Crawford county, Ga- wns an admirable produc
tion. Its object was to define the true position o\
woman in society. The importance of Female
education, is now.conceded on all hands, but the
great danger to be npi>reh*nded is, that society
will run into the opposite extreme, and that with
tbe moral and intellectnnl elevation of woman, ef
forts will b> made tu lead I e* .to assume a false
position, in regard to her political rights, and her
dutieo. A severe, but justly merited rebuke, was
administered, to the so called social rtform move
ment, that is now in progress in many of the Nor
thern States, by which it is sought to transplant to
tbit country the dangerous systems of Fourier and
other French philosophers, who by their socialism.
would destroy all those endearing relations which
are so necessary to the welfare of society.
There was oue point urged iu this address that
hope our fair country women will duly consider,
viz: the propriety ol settingup onr own fashions,
and no longer tu seek them from the depreciated
customs of tho old world. A reform is much need
ed iu this particular, nnd it it to be hoped that it
may soon be effected. On the whole, this address
was marked by good common sense (a rare thing in
our day) ebasteuess of style, aud was well de
livered.
I ought not to omit to mention, the proficiency
displayed by the young lado-s iu tho department of
music. Mr. Golteiiberger is unquestionably a
1 instructor, l hazard nothing in saying one of
the best in thisorany other d'im: Ilis |.,i<uls are
thoroughly and correctly laugh*, of which we had
Ihetxs evidence, in Ibe rare musical treat w ill
which wo were favored. Tho must fastidious sa-
van. cnul l uot justly have found causeof censure
here.
But I mnst close this hnrried.sketch. The opin
ion of an humble individual may not he worth
much, bat still t could uot withhold it. As I hive
intimated. I hive often heard the lYrsteyan Female
College lightly spoken ol, aud my impressions in
regard to it, were by no means favorable. I am
h tppy in being able to say, that I thiuk the Insti-
tiuu is well managed The pupils os Far as I had
an opportunity to judge, are thoroughly instructed,
and I sincerely hope that this College uisy continue
to receive tho" patronage which it justly merits,
and that in all future time, it may send forth hun
dreds of pious and well educated females, to bless
our State, aud aid iu the mural aud intellectoral
elevatiou of our people. CANDOR.

DIED.
In MilledgeviUe. on the 9th inst. Mrs. Eliza M.
Jarratt. wife of Dr. W. A. Jarratt, iced 21 years.
Iu the death of Mrs Jarratt. Heaven hath but taken
its own. About (even years ago. abc was baptized
by Rev.J.R. Kendrick, and uuited with the Macon
Baptist Church. During a part of the intervening
time, between her baptism and her death, tier future
prospects where somewhat obscured' by cloods; but
for months previous to her death she enjoyed again
tlie comforts of religion. She died not only peaceful
ly but moit triumphantly. Even afterber vision was
lost, she spoke rationally upon the subject of religion;
and with tbe sweetest smile declared the presence ol
Jesus. Her last exhortation was. “prepare tb meet
thy God.” 8he sleeps in Jesus—“ that blessed sleep
from which none ever wakes to weep. Her infant,
which died a lew days previoas, was placed in her
arms. They repose in one grave. Many hearts bleed
because the has been torn away. Poor wounded
hearts must still bleed on; but enough, enough—God’s
will be done! L.
At his residence in Talbot coanty. Georgia, on the
30th of June, Col. Joseph Kilet. in the seventy-first
year of hit age.
The subjectofthe above notice, wns born in Orange
county. North Carolina, Jopunry 7th. 1780, and emi
grated to Georgia with his father in 1796, and.settled
in Green county. The county was then new and bis
father in vory limited circumstances, and the oppor
tunities for acquiring an education not as now—he
wss thrown entirely on his own resources, both as to
a livelihood and an education, but by constant appli
cation and perseverance, he acquired a competency
of this worlds goods and an education of uo ordiuarv
grade; having arrived at the years of manhood, he took
that stand which then, aud through life gained the
esteem, and forced the respect of mil that knew him.
As evidenre of this, lie was early.called to fill an im
portant office, which he continued to hold for twenty-
pne years in succession, with credit tohimsell'andsat
isfaction to his fellow citizeus; notwithstanding they
differed so widely in their political sentiments. As
a politician, lie was ever open, candid and linn—never
■banning to declare hia sentiments, when necessary,
bnt was never known to attack an opponent, but
when attacked would defend hia principles to the last
regardless ofconseqnences; mid notwithstanding that
alarge portion of his life was spent in the service ol
the fmblic; yet he was uo worshipper at the shrine ot
popularity, aa proof of this fact, in the daysof Clark nnd
Troup in his own coanty, he stood solitary and alone,
till fifty-five spirits grtheredaround him. forming the
memorable fifty-six.ofold Green. Iu 18:9, he moved
to Talbot county, and settled the place on which he
died, and there ndw honors awaited him, again and
again was he called to a seat in the Legislative Halls
of tho state, never seeking office, bnt never refusing
to obey the call of his fellow citizens, bnt when a
canilidateforoffice.no persuasion of friends, or de
traction of enemies, conld ever ransc him tb swerve
from the strictets line of honor and right, the man that
lie knew when a candidate, he knew ever after, and-*
the cordial shake of the band was the evidence of re
cognition. Xti regard to the allengrosaingquestionsof
the day. it is hardly necessary to say. Unit lie stood
on the broad platform of the Constitution, hi* motto,
“know your rights and defend them to the last, nr
ask nothing nnjnst. yield nothing that is jnst.” He
never connected himself with the chnreti. but wns a
cordial snpporter of the gospel and other kindred in
stitutions, and at hia house nnd table the Preacher of
tlie Cross wns ever a welcome guest, nor did lie ever
shun to declare his firm belief in tlie troth of tlie Bible,
snd from the testimony of those best acquainted with
him in his Inst days, we fondly believe lie has gone to
abettorand pnrer world. When viewed as a husband,
father, master or neighbor, we fiud the sama high
aense of what was due to others is well as to himself,
and when we look hack over the life of onr departed
friend, we are compelled to adopt tbe language of the
Poet, and exclaim,
“Antwmesttnair. is tho noblest work of God.’’
In his death his wife has lust an affectionate bus
hind, his children an indulgent father, his servants a
k ml master, his friend*, a rriead that never .lo-
carved, the Democracy or the country, a pillar on which
they might lean with safety. S.
