\PPINESS in the marriage stats.
Unutterable happiness ’ which love
41 me bestows, and on a favour'd few.
Thomson.
Therreservatio* of a husband’s love is often
rno itdifficult,Hß it is always the most deli
ydui.v of a mfo.—Galt.
o,r design in this little treatise is to en
'.‘ of to show that happiness is not only at
diut upon the marriage state, but that it
'Vbo obtained by every individual who
,T=es to devote himself to its pursuit—
, ,pi D ess is not that shadow, nor is love that
‘Tin which “the million” proclaim them
• both are real and substantial enjoy
,T’, which every one has the ability to pos
. although but “a favoured few” arc hlesa
witb them ; this, however, is entirely the
!lt'.of the parties themselves, for though
rriatre is the road to happiness, there are
; m .,ny broad and alluring paths that inter
ct it that we are not surprised at such a
•■ruber of individuals, who had set out with
1C brightest hopes, losing themselves by
\e h egdkmess and carelessness with which
'T pursued their journey., Our purpose is
make the true road more clear, and by de
ribi,,g the duties of individuals in the rel
ive situations of husband and wife, and ex
;l'sin <T the errors into which they are ever so
-me 3 to fall, produce a guide to that happi
, ss which the young bride is ever so desi
•oils to obtain.
It has been represented, that what is denom
-mted “love,” is but a fanciful term for the
'•cling of esteem beyond which, they who
old this doctrine maintain every thing else
o be but idle rhapsody, and empty non
use ; they consider that individuals may en
rtain a feeling of esteem for each other,
, inch encouraged may lead to a matrimonial
paioo,the husband taking his wife just as he
vmiid a piece of furniture for the decoration
,! the house,and, very likely, with just about
■ much regard! This species of Platonism
uy afford a very correct idea to its cold un
■ massioned disciples; but it is very errorle
ss; their feeling of esteem being found toex
>t no longer than the favourable circuinstan
s that attended the union endures. The
;■ itrimenial sympathy should be undying and ]
aiperishable; it should maintain its pure
ol steady light through all the troubles and
Acrsitiesoflife,and expire but with itslatest
ath. According to Lady Morgan, “the
oman is unworthy of the sacred name of wife
hois not prepared to follow the husband of
r choice and her affections, to slavery, to
ath—oil! more than all, to follow him in
true —in ignominy !”
•It is rare totind perfection in a single in
, vidua!,” observes a popular modern poet;
•w much more rare must it be that two
:li individuals should meet together in this
deworld, under circuinstances that admit
; their union as husband and wife. A per

amiable, 33 neighbor, friend, housemate;

used and untimely dies. It is scarcely po
sihle to obtain, that perfect knowledge of
character anddispositio . duringthc period of
courtship, which is gained after the mystic
symbol is placed upon the finger ot the bride.
We are blind to each other’s faults—passion
hurries us onward, and where we fully expect
to repose our affections happily, we only find
their grave. This is a subject, however, that
we cannot ct present enlarge upon, because
the various branches into which it divides,
would each claim separate and distinct no
tice.
We have said that excitement ends, too of
ten, upon the wedding day; that after the
“knot’ is tied, the parties abate their endeav
ours to keep the heart which they had been so
desirous of winning. Previously, no pains
were spared, no trouble thought too great, to
render ourselves more interesting, or more
amiable in the opinion of our admirer; but,
the object attained, and the individual our
own, we become careless and indifferent, ex
citement is destroyed, possession throws a
veil over former ardour, and finally twines the
funeral wreath for love. Convinced that the
object of your affections is your own, you be
come cold and heedless, the little pleasures
and gratifications are more allowed than de
lighted in: you cease the attractions of music,
dress, and song, which rendered yml endear
ed; and when the cause is taken away, the ef
fect roust perish with it. Your abilities were
exerted to win a heart, and why are they not
still exerted to retain it? It is valueless?—
Were a stranger to say so, you would instant
ly repel the slander with indignation—why,
then, do you use the prize as if it were real
ly valueless, compelled by fate to be endured
rather than bestowed by fortune to be enjoyed ?
“It is nature embellished by the advantages
of art,” says the author of a popular comedy,
“that men expect now a-days; you may have
all the qualities that can dispute your bus
hand’s heart with any body, but the exertion
of those qualities is too often suppressed.—
It is much more difficult to keep a heart than
win one. After the fatal words, ‘for better or
worse,’ the general way with wives is to relax
into indolence, and while they are guilty of
no infidelity, they think that is enough; but
they are mistaken—there is a great deal
wanting—an address, a manner, a desire of
pleasing. Besides which, the natural temper
must he forced; home must be made a place
of pleasure to the husband, and the wife must
throw infinite variety into her manner. And
this I take to be the whole mystery, the way to
keep a man.
“How many ladies,” observes another pop :
ular writer, “heedless of the unsettled and
fluctuating state of all human attachments,
seem to consider, when they are wedded, that
it is no longer requisite to continue those a
greeable humors and graces which first won
the esteem of their husbands. The triumph
of a woman lies not in the admiration of her
lover , hut in the respect of her husband : and j
can only be gained by a constant cultivation !
of those qualities, which she knows he most
values.”
The tempers of each othef should be stud
ied, and even “forced” to harmonize, and
while endeavoring to correct our own faults, 1
we should be indulgent to those of our part
ner. Words and differences are but the pre
lude to greater discord, and should never for
an instant be encouraged. They are very
often supported from a strange perversity of
nature : we are too proud to yield our opin
ion, and to this headstrong folly, both fall vic
tims; passion is madness-—opposition is
worse.
A sullen or sulky disposition is often per
sisted in; this is essentially bad, and must be
eradicated altogether. If we would enjoy
domestic happiness, wc must destroy that ug
ly distempered demon which, while it annoys
every one with whom we are connected, is a
like tormenting to ourselves : how ridiculous
it is to sit hour after hour, and (frequently)
day after day, knitting our brows and refus
ing a kind word to any one around us, ridi
culed by some, and pitied, though disliked,
by the better disposed. If we feel ourselves
aggrieved, why not seek an explanation of
the offence, and put an end to the disagreea
ble affair? Mute sullennness cannot by any
possibility effect any good, we only sit brood
ing, till we imagine things that were never for
a moment contemplated, work ourselves up to
the temper of- something below humanity,
and in our burst of anger inflict wounds that
no roturning kindness can heal, and wither
affections that no sunshine can ever again re
store. Such a disposition is productive of se
rious evils; our partner will seek happiness
unconnected with ourselves—the husband
will yield to the greater attractions of society,
or the wife seek smiles elsewhere; those
whom we have sworn to honor and protect
will be driven from the hotne which have been
endeared to them—it will become desolate,
and we also shall fall victims.
There are creatures in society who seem to
take a pride in ruining domestic happiness;
of those beings wc should he aware; allow no
one to say aught to the discredit of your part
ner, nor encourage idle taie-henrers; you have
surely greater opportunities for discovering
faults or follies, and should refuse to counte
nance such people, whose greatest pleasure
it is to plant the seeds of discord in a family,
and foment it, by exaggeration, into a flame
that will not be eastly quenched.
The London Morning Herald, of May 28,
publishes a passage from the remonstrance
of the Legislature of Maine against the
Dutch King’s decision of the boundary ques
tion; and remarks:—The above is certainly
a very amusing piece of sophistry, but noth
ing more. Still, however, we think the ob
jection to the decision urged by the United
States’ Minister at the Hague good and valid ;
and at any rate we are g* a; ‘ d ,a * the award is
not likely to he allowed, being perfectly sat
isfied that the boundary pointed out is con
trary to the spirit of the treaty, and much
against the interests cf Great Britain and her
North American provinces. .The disputed
territory is now in our possession, and as we
believe that we have right on onr side, we
would recommend the Government not to
part with it., Besides, possession is nine
points of the law.

Georgia, one of the old Thirteen, is beaton by
her young sister, Alabama, who has barely yet
thrown off her “ bib and tucker.” It was but the
other day, comparatively speaking, that she was
introduced into the constellation of States that
form our happy Union—and yet she lias already

I he contracts for this work have been
let to respectable and enterprising gentlemen
at prices much below the most sanguine ex
pectations of the company. The clearing and
grading from this place to the Tennessee Riv
er, a distance of one mile and five eighths has
been undertaken by J. & J. Carrutliers at a
bout $1,300, making the cost of about S6OO
per mile. The company are now able to
make a pretty correct estimate and we are as
sured that the whole cost for a single tract
a ill not exceed $3500, per mile. The work
is now progressing.—The ground was broke
on Wednesday last, amidst the roar of can
non, and in the presence of a number of our
citizens both from town and country, who at
tended to witness the conunmencement of a
work which we doubt not will be extended
through the Tennessee valley to some point a
bove the Muscle shoals; and if we may haz
ard an opinion it will be an improvement of
greater utility than any hitherto undertaken
in the western country.
We understand that the company have or
dered their iron from Liverpool; and if this
article arrives in due time, the work will be
certainly completed within the present year.
Thus the practicable and actual cost of this
mode of improvement being fairly tested, all
objections upon that ground will be removed;
and if the next legislature should grant a
charter for the extension of the road through
the valley to some point above the shoals, we
have no doubt, hut the wealthy and enterpri

complete the work. Advertiser.

From the following extract of a letter from an
intelligent correspondent, it would seem that we
are not singular in our opinion of the abuses to
which Banks and Bankers are too frequently lia
ble. The suggestion that “Republican editors
should make Jefferson’s Works a Text Book on
all political subjects,” meets onr hearty concur
rence. We have done so, and shall continue
to do so.
4. July go, 1831.
“ Dr. AT! Sir —Pardon me for troubling you
for a moment —I know you will do so, if you
will rightly estimate my intention. Some
time since you published in your paper a short
but very handsome stricture upon Banking ;
Systems, which called forth a miserable com- j
mentary from some writer in the last ‘Mes
senger.’ ” j- * # * * *
“With regard to Banks, I beg leave to re
fer you to Mr. Jefierso'’s works for the full
est authority to support your doctrine ; —and
although the pigmy f in the ‘Messenger’ may
not, and probably will not believe Mr. Jeffer
son understood the subject, yet, the cominu
nity generally, disposed to give heed
to the wisdom of the sage of Monticello, rath
er than to the simple sayings of the “wise man”
of Macon.f Besides various other passages in
the works of Mr. Jefferson on the subject, you
will find in his letter to Joim Taylor, of
May 28,1816, the following:”
“The system of Banking we have both
equally and ever reprobated. 1 contemplate it
as a blot left in all our Constitutions, which,
if not covered, will end in their destruction, —
and which is already bit by the gamblers of
conniption, and is sweeping away in its pro
gress, the fortunes and morals of our citizens."
Vol. IV. page 274. “Again, in the same let
ter, at page 277, he says sincerely be
lieve with you, that Banking establishments
are more dangerous than standing armies, and
that the principle of spending money to be paid
by posterity, under the name of funding, is but
swindli, i futurity on a large scale."
“This, Mr. Editor, is the same doctrine,
which you have advanced, only it is in stron
ger language,—and, it is a doctrine which Mr.
Jefferson ever, and at all times held and ad
vanced, and which originated more hostile
feelings between him and A. Hamilton-—that
grand American monarchist—than any public
measure, on which they so widely differed.—
I think it really desirable that republican Ed
tors should make Jefferson’s works a Text
Book on all political subjects—for I believe,
in Gd, that it is only by the spread of his
doctrines that this Union can be preserved.—
The federalists have been untiring in their en
deavors to establish a “strong government” in
this country, for the last half century—and
their prospect for the last twenty years have
been brightening. We can only look to a vi
gilant, an able, and an honest Press to defeat
them—such an ono as yours promises to be.”

Some of our Editors, friendly to President
Jackson, are already pronouneinff upon the ex
parte statements of Messrs. Berrien and Ingham.
This is unfair. Let them recollect, that uot only
Col. Johnson, but the President also, is yet to be
heard from —and, certainly, they are as much en
titled to a public hearing, as are their gratuitous
accusers.
There is one reflection which bears ns out in
the opinion, that Andrew Jackson is incapable of
pursuing the very silly and highly censurable
course imputed to him—and that is, that during
one of the most politically distinguished administra
tions of the General Government, party rancor itself
has not been able to fix upon him a solitary derilec
tion from either private or public duty, —All the
weight of talent and influence which Henry Clay
and John C. Calhoun can command, have been
brought to bear against him, for the purpose of
prostrating his truly Roman—no—his truly Amer
ican fame. All, that personal ridicule—all, that
private slander—all, that public misrepresentation
could do, have been mischievously and industri
ously employed to undermine his reputation—but
his oum acts, have vindicated his character, and thus
far brought him out triumphantly victorious; He
is the only man, who, as the head of the American
Government, has, by an unexampled exercise
of moral courage, successfully reduced to practice
theorthodox theories of Thomas Jefferson. This,
of itself, was sufficient to raise up against him all
the venality and aristocracy ot the country.
In these remarks,it is not our intention—far be it
from us—to impugn the motives of Mr. Berrien.
We feel assured, however, that lie labors tinder
some misconstruction, and that it will not be long
before he is convinced of it.
jtAirs.
Anew work ha 9 recently issued from the Bos
ton Press, entitled “Letters on Junius, addressed
to John ’Pickering, Esq., showing that the author
of that celebrated work was Earl Temple.” It is
the production of Mr. Isaac Ncwhall of that city;
and beside the primary object of establishing the
claim of Ear! Temple, is said to possess “a great
fund of information respecting the secrets of Min
isterial History, and of the prominent individu
als” who were contemporaneous with Junius’
writings. This part of Mr. Newhall’s perform
ance may be interesting—but, at this late period,
all speculations on the identity of Junius, are, in
our estimation, idle and useless. None other but
circumstantial evidence, and that too of a very
doubtful character, has yet been advanced to sup
port the pretensions of the various individuals
who have been presented to the public as entitled
to the honorable distinction. It is now of no im
portance —as regards any positive good which
might arise even from the establishment of the
fact itself —to know, who, or what Junius was. —
It is known that he was an enlightened patriot,
who had become incensed at the political abuses
of the times, and poured upon the Crown Minis
ters from a pen of fire, “Noughts that breath’d,
and words that burn’d.” For all the purpose of
useful information, this is all wc need know of
old ii Stat Nominis Umbra."
Considerations like those, induce us to bsligve
that all attempts to drag from its mystic cell, tills
“shadow of a mighty name,” are unnecessary and
unprofitable,—unless, indeed, it should be consid
ered necessary and profitable to patronise the mo
dern “art and mystery" of Book-Making, which
threatens to inundate our shelves with a great deal
of useless lumber.
There certainly have been a great many ingeni
ous suppositious suppositions tending to the iden
tification of Junius. None of them, however, are
entitled to so much credit as the sage deductions
of Lord Byron. Hear him!
“I've an hypothesis—’lis quite my own,
I never let it out till now, for fear
Of doing people harm about the throne,
And injuring some minister or peer
On whom the stigma might perhaps be blown;
It is—my gentle public, lend thine ear!
’Tis, that what Junius we are wont to call,
Was really , truly, nobody at all.
1 don’t see wherefore letters should not be
Written without hands; since we daily view
Them written without heads; and books we see
Are filleo as well without the latter too;
And really, till v. e are fix'd on somebody
For certain sure to claim them as his due,
Their author, like the Niger’s mouth will bother
The world to say, if there be mouth or author,”
Monsieur Tonson “Come Again.”
We extract the following from the last Augus
ta Chronicle. Our word for it, it is a “Mountain
in labor.”
“The Pendleton Messenger of the 27th ultimo,
says:”—“W# have just received and hastily
glanced over, a very interesting communication
from the Vice President ou the subject of the dif
ferences between the General and State Govern
ments. It will appear in our paper next week.—
We have no doubt that from the present attitude
of affairs, and the high source from which it ema
nates, the article will be eagerly sought for, and
extensively read. Public curiosity has been ex
cited on the subject of Mr. Calhoun’s opinions on
this question, and we have observed for some
months past, repeated calls through the papers,
for an expression of them. They are now expli
citly declared.”
•Mr. Ingham $ Logic.
Nothing can more clearly illustrate this gentle
man’s mode of reasoning, than the following
“clear matter of fact,"— uuless, peradventue, it
should be, FalstafFs encounter with the men in

“Mother Hopkins told me,that she heard Green’s
wife say, that John Harris’ wife told her, that
granny Hopkins heard the widow Bashman say,
that Capt. Weed’s wife tho’t Col. Hopkins’s wife
believed, that old Miss Lamb reckoned, that Sam
uel Dunham's wife had told Spalding’s wife that
she heard John Frink’s wife say, that her mother
told her, that Miss Jenbs heard granny Cook say
that it was a matter of fact.”
Indian War. —The follow ing is an extract
from a letter to a gentleman in this city, that
furnishes the latest intelligence concerning
the Indian disturbances, that were anticipated
in the north-west: —
ST. LOUIS, July 8, 1831
We had a pretty strong prospect of an In
dian War, the other day, so much so, that
there were ordered to Rock Island, 460 Reg

arrived, they offered to make peace, which
was effected by Gen. Gaines.

Accounts have reached us this morning by
the ship Dragon, from New Zealand, of the
most distressing nature 1 . It appears that the
exertion of the Missionaries have proved abor
tive: that cannibalism was carried on to the
most dreadful and that the internal
war of the different tribes was raging with all
its horrors. The immense sacrifice of human
life by the savages to their heathen gods
were beyond description. Baskets full ot hu
man flesh, particularly thatof }t.ung women,
were scattered about. So horrible are the
accounts that wc fear to publish them, lest
they might be exaggerated.
