The Roman sentinel stood helm’d and toll
Beside the gate of Main. Tire busy tread
•.((comers in the city mart was done,
cor it was almost noon, and a dead heat
Quivered upon tire" tine and sleeping dust,
And the cold snake crept panting from the wall
To bask Iti.s scaly circles in the sun.
Upon his spear the soldier leuii’d and kept
33is drowsy watch, and as his waking dream
Was broken hy the solitary loot
Of Serna poor mendicant, lie raised his lids,

And slumberonsly dozed on.
iVa.s now high (loon,
The dtili, low murmur of a funeral
Went thru’ the city—the sad sound of lcet
fin mix’d with voices—and the sentinel
Shook oil’ his slumber, and gazed earnestly
Up the wide slrei l along vvknse paved way
A mourning throng wound smvvly. They
came cn,
Idearing a hr.’.y heavily on its bier,
And by the throng that in the burning heat
\Ya Tdwi.li forgetful saiine.,s—Yu as of one
Mourn’d with uncommon sorrow. The brea
gate
icwriig on its hisges, and the Homan bent
ills spear-poiut downwards ss the bearers
pass’d
Bending beneath their burden. Tnera was
one— •
Only one mourner. Close behind the biers,
t 'ruiuhling the pall up in i.or withered hands,
Follow'd an aged woman. Her slot.’ st<

A widow widi one son. lie a.is her all —

And this was tip. Thf: could not comfort her.

Two met; came forward, one carry in s a

plticfd in the midst of the audience a cork
completely stripped of bis leathers. The
| poor animal ashamed, shivering, living from
[ the shouts of the assembly, sought to hide
his melancholy nudity.
The dt fondant, interrogated, confessed the
fact, a few, ;n his opinion., very excusable.
“I am, as ivory body knows, a poor shoema
ker. Two years ago, 1 was forced to ask a
little morn ;• of uiy neighbor, who lent it to me:
1 think him for it. 1 was to return it at the

manded tin: money he had advanced, with
; the little interest, as was just. Nothing to

with.rue, he said, ‘Friend have you any mon
ey? I .in in want of some.’ I did not know
what to say, and 1 sail nothing. ‘Friend,’
said he, a second time, ‘have you any moon’.!
i lent you mine to oblige you, you know it,

I could I say? Nothing, and I held tny tongue*
! ‘l)o von think to pay me by your silence?'
said he, at last, getting angry. ‘A third time
friend, have you any money.’ This is for the
last time; and if you have no money, flic coat!
you have on suits me, and 1 will take it. Do j
you think, then, you are going so well dress

objections, but he took it nevertheless, and as i
lie was going, ‘1 lark Ve,said he-,‘l shall put it
in mv closet: i snail leave st there two!

do not pay me my money, i shall consider it j

|At ! ;st 1 was tired of it. One day the cock
i was in mv barn—l found him there; I shut
[the door, and, alone with him, 1 said: ‘What

OPINIONS OF NULL! 1 'ICATION.
Wc are not going to hum cur fingers*with
j politics; nor are vve going to (xpioss any
opinion of our own on the very popular
theme ol Nullification. Rut it happened to
ns, in-one of our late rambles through the
! Commercial Emporium, to overhear a very
| curious conversation on that particular suh
jeet—which as it contained ideas both novel
and various, we will take tiie liberty to re
j iate for the benefit of our readers. The
j seen,- was a coflee bouse of ordinary resort ::
I and the speakers were a Cockney retailer ol j
dry goods, an Irish groots, a Dutch former, •
and an American Justice of the peace. 3’aeh 1
one had before him his favorite liquor, to)
wit: the Englishman., his pot of beer, the
i Irishman his whiskey punch, the Dutchman*
his black strap, and the Justice of the Peace
his rum toddy.
The Irishman, lifting his eyes from anew s
paper on which ho had been industriously j
goring broke out with—“ The devil burn this}
hard word ! It st icks in my throat for all the I
world like a great crook paratie. 1 can make I
make naylher head nor tail to P—nor swal
low it tip or down—nor git it any which way
at all at all—had luck to it.”
“ Wat ish de wort ?’* asked the Dutch
man.
“Tint’s what I’d like to be after knowing
I myself.”
“W( 11,just spell if tome, cant ye, and I’ll
hronmmce you what it ish.”
“ Thank ye, sir,—Mine-hair, I mane—l
know the bronouncintion of it as well as your'
Himself, or any other man in the seven king
doms—l don't care where the tother is .Yu/. |
Ilevmfhcatioti is the void ; but the definition !
is what 1 can’t git round jisf.
“The definition 1” exclaimed the f\>ck-!
ury—“ vvy yon fool, Pat—-nullificatioti is a'
harticlc of Southern manufoeture, got up in
liflppOoitioa to the cotton mills of New Ileng
lami in the state of New Ampshire. I Imn
der.Uand or rather it is my l.impression—that
they clothe their niggers with it.”
“ There you’re out, Misther, axin your par
don.”
“ flout!’’ interrupted the Cockney fierce
ly—“ av'nt 1 been io South Carolina in South
liamej'ica, and don’t i know hull about it?”
“ Axon your pardon once more; Misther,
I’d take the liiierty to enquire, what kind of
id.(flies maybe the naggers wean when they
run naked as they arc horn in flic world *s
I’m cr'ulild.y informed v - y do all a long at
1 the South
**• Naked !” slid the Justice of the Pence
—“ I wonder what kind of civil authority
they have in them are parts, to allow of such
indecent practices. Tlx-v’d soon get a war
' rattfotgrinst them far such mafversations, if
; they iiad me to den! witlu it’s a disgrace to
j to the immunity.”

“ Well den, i will dell you mine ohinion ;

| “ Really, gentlemen,” said the Cockney,
“ I'm surprised at your hignorant- I thought
I lev cry body knew t hat nullification was a
Southern manufacture, wat they clothe their
niggers on, what sav vou landlord, han’t J
right f”
The landlord, -thus appealed to declared
that for ni.s part he had never examined into
the subject particularly ; but he believed it
was a kind of a sort of cold water society,
got for the disgraceful purpose of driving
rum, brandy, gin, and ail other good liquors
into non-existence ; and that being tho case,
ho considered it the bounden duty of even
good, citizen to resist at tho very hungjio.e.
This sentiment ivas applauded to the skies
by the whole company ; and each one insis
ted, that though ail other liquors should he
nullified bis own favorite beverage., at least,
should he exempted from the general fate.— \
And finally nullification whatever it might
he, was unanimously voted to be a great bore,!
and not to be tolerated in a free country.

Amongst the ‘many effusions which the

Washington produced, none have gratified us
more.'lent a short. appropriate Address of
.’1 r. William Eaton, jr. (grandson ot the ven-;
erable Nathaniel Macon) delivered at War
renton, X. C. on the occasion. The voting
Orator first takes a view of some of the lead
ing events of the Revolutionary War, in which
our Hero signalized himself, and then gives’
a Biographical sketch ofhis life, shewing that!
he was equally great in the field aw] <lie Cub-!

fusions the most elevated Patriotism mid the!
most entire devotedness to his country, in;
conclusion said he :
“ Wasjumjton finds no parallel on the;

a combination of great and good qualities, ol 1

Exertions arc making in all quarter?, to

ttie case ol Georgia, t hey excite neither sym
pathy or remark.- But if we inove a tiin*'er to
getrui of “ibis red plague?’—showers of’
abuse arc poured upon us—A wc are reviled

Hart it never occurred to the wise and ha
mane ones—who fulminate against us that

other sisters of the Union ? Where are the
tribes that were spread in former times from

And shall tltesc who now occupy their seats,
prate about (kt-ryiu Cruelty —and “ the lords

rers collect too remains ol the ancient race—
•of some of them yet remain—let them re
store villages and towns and fields to the red
proprietors amt reestablish them iu their he
reditary domain—then—may they lecture to
Georgia, and she will listen to them with res
pect and attention —because she will prop*
orly appreciate sentiments dictating a con
duet so disinterested and untainted by Up
pocrisy !
But why repeat for the thousandth, time—
what has been so often said before?-—Those
who are st til unconvinced of the humanity oi
removing the Indians to a situation so much
better fitted for their happiness—those who
would have t lie Cfierokccs viseperoble from
the globe, withering and perishing on their
native soil—those refined disciples of Ser
geant ami \V irt would not believe “though
one should rise from the dead.”
We trust the survey of the Ccrokee coun
try will now spcecily be accomplished, and
the Lauds distributed as the law directs—un
less circumstances connected with the con
venience of the parties and the success of
General Jackson’s administration, should
hereafter occur to make further de-lav prop

An art rot swindler —Last Friday afternoon

I..appeared, he stated that he had just arrived
from Havre, and had brougut to In raoiric let
toys, u roll of nil!;, and several small articles,
as presents from her husband who is at pres

ced, at the prospect of hearing from Mr. I••
and cq[tressed In r eagerness to receive the
letters;, her visitor stated that they were still
on board, that lie was about to gv fotheslup
for them, and that the Custom HouseOtlicers
demanded 6>7 duty ou t lie silks and other ar
ticles lie had brought for her. He then ca
tered into a social conveisution with Mrs. L
about her children, said that the eldest very
much resembled his father, &c.
i 'i’lic Indy was perfectly satisfied that all site
I had heard was strictly true, and taking a ten
' dollar bill from her pocket book was about to
send tor change, so that she might hand bim

the 810, and return the change on his return
'with t'ic-cilk, to which Mrs. L. assented.
