TIio Crayon -Sketch.
One evening ia the year 1850, a female, com
pletely enveloped in a long.black mantle, was
walking towards the bridge of tbe Rialto, in Ven
ice. Her steps wore weak and uneven, and, at
intervals, abe looked around with a frightened
glance.
She pansed on tbe centre of tb* bridge, and
looked down with a shudder on the clear bine
waters of the Adriatic; then closing her eyes,
end murmuring faintly, “Antonio! my Antonio,
adieu !” the prepared to throw herself over tbo
parapet
Just ai she was falling, a man rushed forward,
seized her with a powerful grasp, aud drawing
her back, said:
“ Child ! destroy not tbe lifo which God has
given yon. If yon ar* unhappy, enter yon
cbnrcli, kneel on its hallowed pavemeut, pour out
your sorrow, and tlmnk yonr Maker that yon have
been preserved from rushing, uncalled, into his
presence!”
The girl impatiently tried to shake off tbs
strong, kind hand that held her, and said:
“Let me go! I must die!’
In another moment *be tottered and fell to the
groan'd, where she lay without sense or motion.
Her preserver raisod her head, and, in order to
give her air, drow back the veil which concealed
her features. They were very lovoly, aud the
man gazed on her with wonder and admiration
as sho was gradually restored.
By degrees she told him who she was, and
where she lived. Her history might be summed
up in a few words; on avaricious father, a poor
lover, a mutual but unhappy love.
Vainly had Maria pleaded with her father, a
rich innkeeper of Veuico, the cause of her lover,
Antonio Barigo,- the handsomest gondolier plying
beneath tho Bridge' of Sighs. At length, this
evening, her father, Giauettini, forgot himseii so
far as to strike bis daughter with some violence,
nnd she. with a far more culpable neglect of her
duty, ran wildly from home, and, as wo bava
seen, was arrested ou the verge ol suicide.
The person who had saved "her led her gently
to her home, and, having given her up to her
father, sealed himself in an obscure corner of tbe
hostelry. Gianettini received his child with rude
reproaches, and bidding her retire to her own
apartment, and betake to her spinning, he cast a
suspicions glance at the person who had brought
her home, whose stout, inenly figure-- and firm
couutenauce, however, deterred the inn-keeper
from atldreuing him iu a hostile mannsr.
As Maria turned to depart, a young gondolier
appeared at the door, and furtively approacliiu
her said—
“ Cara mia, mi alama
M Giauettini rushed forward—“Out of this!” be
shouted; -‘ out of my bouse, beggar!”
The young inau did not stir.
“ Have you fiuished I” he said, in a good-
humored tone. “-Wherefore these hard words 7
Have you never loved. Signor Gianettini 7 Have
you totally forgotten the feelings of your youth 7
Kuow you uot that since I was tea years old, and
Maria five, we have loved each other fondly.
Will you not then allow us to hallow your old age
with our grateful blessings; or must we water
your path with oar tears 7”
“I don’t want todiavaa parcel of beggar* for
my graud-children,” said Gianettini, roughly.
“Certainly, you are rich,” replied tho young
man, “ but*what hinders that l should nulbetome

Nav,” said Antonio, “ ft is sober sense—Lo
renzo de Medici was a merchant, Giacomo Sfurza
a cowherd.”
The man in tho corner bad harkened attentive
ly to Ibis dialogue. lie rose, aud touchiug Bar-
barign’s shoulder, said:
“Well spokeu, gondolier!. Courage brings
success, and slruggliug conquest. Maria shall be
thy wife.”
“ Never!" cried Gianettini.
“ Master Jew,” said tbo unknown, turning dis
dainfully towards him, “if this youth could lay
down six hundred pistoles, would you object to
the marriage 7”
“ Be that as it may, you must remember (bat he
is now little better than a panper.”
“ Pshaw! said the unknown, “ bablersare more
tiresome than thieves. Before to-morrow you
shall touch that sum.”
So saying, ho drew from bis pocket a piece of
parchment and crayon, aud turning towards
table, began rapidly to sketch a nuu’s hand,
was represented open. Impatient, with hallowed
palms, aa if expecting a shower of gold pieces,
it had. so to speak, a sensual, avaricious expres
sion, and one of the fingers was encircled with
massive ring.
•• ’Tit myhnnd ! cried Gianettini.
“And yonr history,” said the artist.
Giving tho sketch to Antonio, its author desired
him to carry it to Pietro Uenvolo. librarian at (lie
place of St. Mark, aud demaud iu exchange for it
six hundred pistoles.
“Six hundred fools’heads!” cried tbe inn-keep
er. “ 1 would not give a zecchin for it!”
Without speaking, the artist turned haughtily
away.
The gondolier took the parchment, and looked
with astonishment at bis guise. He then turned
doubtfully towards Maria, but a glance from her
soft dark eyesreosured him, and he act out ou his
mission.
Witbfolded aims and a moody brow, the artist
commenced pacing np aud down the large room
in the hostelry, casting at intervals a semtiuizing
;lauce on the young girl, who, now penitent lor
ter intended crime, wss silently praying iu a cor
ner. As forGianottuii.he seemed unable to shako
off tho strange ascendancy gained over him by
his strange visitor. Hia habitual effrontery failed
him; and for tbe first time in his life, bo dared uot
break sileuco.
An hour passed. Then hasty, joyous steps were
heard, and Antonio appeared, hearing in his hand
a bag and a letter. The bag contained Rix hun
dred pistoles, and the letter was addressed to tho
artist, and praying him to bonorlhe librarian with
a visit.
Take these coins and weigh them,” said lha
unknown, as he threw the bag toward* Giunettlui.

fail to answer tho ends for which it was establish
ed. No Virginian will pretoud that John Ran
dolph of Roauoko was, ut any period of his life, a
submissionist in the sense ia which tho word is now
applied. Wo all know better. Tbo National In
telligencer kuows batter- But as some of its
readers may not be so well informed on the sub
ject, we ask that paper to publish tbe following
extract from the proceedings of a meeting held iu
Charlotte county ou the 4th of Feb., 1833, a few
months previous to Mr. Randolph’* death :
“Mr. Randolph,” says the official report of the
proceedings, “though in a state of extreme fee
bleness. made his appearance last night, and to-day
at 12 o’clock spoke a few miuutes, but soon sat
dowu exhausted, and continued to speak sitting,
though sometimes tor a moment tbe excitoment of
his feelings brought him to his foel. He ended
his speech by rauving a set of resolutions.'" The
Intelligencer may judge of tho “set” of rotolucious
by tbe three which we subjoin :
“Resolved, That Virginia is end-ought to bo a
free, sovereign, and independent Stale—that she
became so by her own separate act, which has
since been recoguized by tbe civilized world, and
ha* never beau disavowed, retracted, or in any
wise impaired or weakened by aud eubsequaut
act of her*.
“Resolved, That when for poroses of common
defence and common welfare. Virginia eutared iu-
to a strict league of amity aud alliance with the
other twelve colonies, of British North America,
she parted with no portion of her sonreignty; al
though, from the uecessily of the case, the author
ity to euforce obedieuce thereto was iu certain
cases aud for certain purposes delegated to the
common agents ofthe whole confederacy.
“Resolved, That Virginia bas liever parted with
the right to recall tho authority so delegated, for
good and sufficient cause, nor with the right to
judge of the sufficiency of such cause, aud to se
cede from the cetifedurecy whensoever sho shall
find tho beuefit* of Uuion exceeded by its eviis;
Uuion being tbe means of seenriug liberty and
happiness, and uot au end to which these should
be sacrificed.
“Resolved, That the allegiance of the people
of Virginia is duo to her—that to her their alle
giance is due ; while, to them, she owes protec
tion against the consequences of suclt obedi
once.” ’-
We suggest to tbo Intelligencer the proppriety of
engraving these resolutions of Mr. Randolph, “ou
the portals of the Capital,” immediately beneath
tbe extract “from oueuf bis speeches iu Cuugress.”
—Richmond Examiner
Signor, that I may
rnent of my life.”
“Men call me Michael Angelo.”
“ Michael Angelo!” repeated Antonio, falling
on his knees like a true Italiau, to adore tbe sov
ereignly oi genius.
Tbe artist raised him and took bis hand.
“Ilia my turn now,’’he said, “to ask you a
favor. It is to permit mo to perpetuate on can
vas tbe lovely ieutures of Maria.”
Tiie girl approached; sho could not apeak, bat
she clasped the painters hand and raised it to her
lips. A tear fell ou it, and Michael Angelo, as he
drew it back, turned away to conceal his own
emotions.
Twenty years passed on, and found Antonio
Barbarigo, tho once hamble gondolier, the happy
husband of Maria, and General of the Venetiuu
Republic. Yet bis brilliant position never render
ed him unmindful of bis early life, and his beart-
folt gratitude, as well 19 that of his wife, accotn*
tanied Michael Angelo Beuooarotti to the end of
tis days.
As to the crayon sketch of the miser’s hand, it
was taken from Italy by.a Soldier in N’apolrau’s
army, and placed in tbe Loovre. During tbe in-
vasion of 1814, it was unfortunately lost, and so
fares can bo ascertained, bas never siuce hern
recovered. Tho story of its production, howev
er, still lingers amongst the tradition* of Venice.

If smmeuse meetings are held in tbe free States,
at which abolitionism utters its thunders agaiust
the South, they are only tbe meaningless ravings of
a few fanatics!
If Southern men, in the attempt to obtain poss
ession in a Northern city, of their slaves, are loa
ded with enrtss, hunted down like wild beasts,
denied the prutecticu of the authorities ; aud for
ced to give heavy bonds to answer false charges
or be cast in prison, aud finally evade tbe fury of
tbe populace by leaving the city without their pro
perly, a ready apology is made for the oficers, who,
under the presure of public sentiment, refused to
do their duty, and the blame is concentrated upon
tbe innocent slave owner, or bis ageut, for “bung
ling management.” Thus in tbe case of Crafts,
Hughes, the agent of Dr. Colling, was made the
scape goat ol anabolition populate whose fury tbe
faithless aud corrupt officers of ihffgoverument re
fused tu encounter.
But let a so-called “Union meeting," be held in
a Northern, city, and at once these conscientious
journalists fill their calamus with congratulations
upon tbe evidence they offord of a conservative
feeling in the North. And this, too, while they
koow that those ineetingraro gotten np by politi
cians of tbe Websterorder, who, having iu con
junction with “higher law" men, aud Southern
renegadbs, destroyed the equilibrium or the gov
ernment aud transferred the interests ofthe slave
States to the keeping ofan unscrupulous majority,
aro conteul for tho present with their work.
These calculating politicians well know that the
Southern States would constitute valuable provin
ces of the North, and that as long as they are held
as such, under tiro workings of the miscalled com
promise they laud so extravagantly, they can plun
der them by means of protective tariffs aud appro
priations for carrying an graud schemas of inter
nal improvement. They can well afford after such
a victory, to sing praises to the Uuion and to the
compromise. Hard, indaed, would they be to
please, if they were disaffected towards measures
which dedictated the territories belonging to tbe
States, to freesoilism forever ; aud placed the gov
ernment in the bands of a sectiouai majority to be
converted into an instrument fur thcpluuder ofthe
minority.
We trust that the Southern people will not be
lolled into faucied security by tbe indifference
which the submission journals affect towards tbe
decided demonstration* of avowed abolitiooists, or
their hallelujahs over the meetings of tbe no less
daugerous enemies of tho South, who influenced
by the considerations wo havo mentioned, are
boisterous in their professions of love for tho Uuion.

tures which the organ* of the Fillmore administra

wbo aggress or encourage aggression on those
rights and principles which the (Jpioa wis'formed
to secure, and on which ma foundation, it was
erected. The framer* of tii* Constitution were
those who preferred revolution snd separation
from the mother country to submission—to taxa
tion by others than their own representatives:
they never would have consented to found a new
Government, in which the minority should he sub
ject to the discretionary legislation of a majority.
Tho Government they instituted was one' of spe
cific grants and enumerated objects; all else wae
reserved to the States and the people; .To allow
one department of this Government, or common
agent, to usurp uodelegated powers, subject only
to the restraints which another department of the
Federal Government may impose, would lie to
render the reservation not absolute, bu t condition
al in the end, probably, to become nugatory.
If the rights of the States are held subordinate
to the decision of the co-ordinate branches of the
Federal Government, the principal has changed
places with his agent, tho creator'-With.buf-cre'a-
thro. If tho Constitution can be warped end
wrung until its nature is altered, and the States
still lie coerced to adhere to the Union, they have
lost tii* sovereignty they won by tho battles of
tbe revolution, aud tb* possession of which ena
bled them to enter iuto a confederation. - «
The Uuion was the. result oi the liberty, and in
dependence of the States, not the converse,' and
such being my opinion, I cannot agree to the pro
position of your first resnlutiou that tbe liberty
we iuberit. from the heroes and patriots ■ of our
revolution is one and inseparable from tbe Union.
The icatitulions of the States were established,
their independence was achieved before tho
Unio.i was formed, and, if tbe sons bo worthy of
their sires, might be maintained, though the Union
should perish. That ibeir prosperity has been
promoted, their usefulness developed, by Union,
is not to be questioned; and ns tittle is is to be
donbted, that by dissolution all sections would bs
injuriously affected ; but I 'do not think the insti
tutions of the Sooth would be destroyed by that
event, or our Slato Governments materially al
tered. Not only do I believe our-liberty would
be preserved, hut that our forms of Gqrerumctlt
would remain, and our commercial interests, if sqt
promoted, would be fur less impaired than those ~
of auy other eectioa of tho Uuion.—Jefferson

On tho 15th instant,as will be perceived by the
vote given in auother column, the Legislature suc
ceeded iu elerting a U. S. Senator in place of Mr.
Yulee. when Stephen R. Mallory, Esq., ol Key
West was elected. .
Uuderothercirchmstances we should have bail
ed Mr. Mallory's election with pleasure ; but we
can scarcely feel gratified at a result produc'd, a*
we believe, by the iutrigue and management of
one or two members of- the Legislature, impelled
principally, if if not wholly, by a.personal hos
tility to Mr. Yuieo.
Although it is well known to most of the Dem
ocratic party that Mr- Yulee had desired to retire
from public life at the cud of the present session,
yet it was deemed desirable that m view of the
promiuent stand taken by him, side by side with
Butler, Davis, Mason, and other staunch suppor
ters of Southern rights, that a re election should
evideuce the approval, by bis constituents, of the
course pursued by him.
Thirty votes were necessary ?o an election, and
in accordance with Democratic usage, Mr Yulee
received the caucus nomination by n (wo-thirds
vote, and but lor tho persoual hostility of oue pro
fessed Democrat, would have been elected, hav
ing received twenty nine on aeverai ballots. Bift ,
six Democrat^gave their votes to Mr. Mallory iu
the ballot by which he was elected, ihe entire
Whig party uniting wilh them and electing a i >um-
ocrat. The support of Mr. Mallory by the Whig
party in the Legislature, places them in a singular
position with reference to consistency. Mr. Mal
lory's views aud position respecting the Southern
rights question aro understood to. bo identical
with thoseof'Mr.'YuleA,'aud yet many w.bo have
hitherto protended to oppose Mr. Yulee’* action
ou this question, have cast their votes for Mr. Mal
lory. Wo leave these gentlemen to settle tbeir
own position, gratified, however, to suppose that
some uew light has shown them the true position
to be occupied by all Sodthcrn men.
We are glad, however. Unit the question of *Es
position oi Florida upon the Sonthern question
has been settled so fully and satisfactorily, for it
will not be questioned that the votes given for Mr.
Yulee were a diract endorsement ot his position,
while the unanimity with which the Whig party
gave their votes for Mr. Mallory, whoso position
and views are the same as Mr Yulee’s, gives also
their endorsement,showing ao entire unanimity iu
both parties in the support of Mr. Yulee’s past
course.-- St. Augustine Ancient City.
