of (he afflicted and public generally, that he has been
many years engaged in the practice of Medicine, and
has lit voted much of h:s time, labor and practice, with
many of the most intelligent and successful German
and ‘lndian Doctors, both in the L'mtrd States and
Canada, to the treatment of acute and chronic dis
ea es of ev. ry name, stage and type, and us the most
malignant character; and has. liy practicing with them,
a tqoired a thorough knowledge ol all tiioir valuable
sc ret Recipes and manner of treatment, which is far
superior to any thing known or taught m the Medical
Sch *o!s, and which has been successful, bv the files
sings of the Almighty, in restoring lo heai.h, hundreds
and thousands of persons that had been treated for a
number of years by many of the most learned and
s leiintic Physicians of the day, and pronounced to be
entirely beyond the reach of remedv, and given over
odie. Yet by lhesmip!e,etii-acouis Vegetable M>-di
tcines,not poisons,they were snatched from the jaws of
the grim monster, death, and restored lo health, sue
greatest of all earthly blessings; for what is riches
and elegant dwellings, without health to enjoy them.
Health is the poor man’s wealth, and the rich man’s
bliss. To a man laboring under disease, the world is
little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste
enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered by
i;o social sweets ; for the soul in a diseased body, like
a martyr in his dungeon, may retain its value, hut i’
has lost its usefulness.
Will be added to this institution, as soon as the ne
cessary arrangements can be made, an infirmary—the
cold, hat, tepid, shower,sulphur and ‘heGerman. Rus
sian and I'homsontan Medicated Vapor Baths: and
every tiling that can possibly be ot any advantage in
restoring the sick to health, ot relieving suffering hu

ence, (the best kind of logic,) the true principles of
the healing art. Price of tuition will be §2OO, pavable

A REAL ROMANCE. ,
The following interesting little narrative,
stnknjjly illiistratesthe remark oi Lord Byron,
that ‘irutli is some times stranger than fiction.’
We liave belbre heard ol'ihe citcutnalance,
it'd it is very beautifully alluded to in one ol
Mr. Hazliti’s essays; but the following is a
minute, and we may add authentic statement,
tor it was drawn op by a gentleman who
knows the parties, and was long connected
with the r.oble family to whom it relates.—
Baton IVetJdy Magazine.
‘When Ihe late Earl ofExter was in bis
minority, he married a lady of the name and
family of Vernon, of Hanbury, Worcester
shire, from whom he was afterwards divorced.
After the separation had taken place, Lord
Exeter, his uncle, advised him (then the Hon.
Mr. Cecil) to retne into the country lor some
time and pass for a private gentleman. He
complied with the request, and took his course
into a retired part ot Shropshire. There
fixing bis residence for some time at an inn
in the email village of Hodnet, he became
liberal to an unexampled degree to all about
him. Some people in the neighborhood
formed suspicious notions of him, surmising
that he was a rogue in disguise, and accor
dingly shunned liis company. Others took
him for an Indian nabub, or some other dis
tinguished personage in disguise, and fre
quently he beared the rustic exclaim, ‘There
goes the gentleman.’ Taking a dislike to
th s situation, lie looked out for board at some
farm-house—but here again was a difficulty.
Few families cared to take him, because be
was too fine a gentleman. At last, in con
sideration us the liberal offers that lie made,
a farmer agreed to hi him up a room. Here
be continued under the name of Mr. Jones
for about two years apparently contented
with bis retirement. lie used occasionally to
go to London for a sborl time, lor the pur
pose, as the country people supposed, of col
lecting his rends, but in reality, to resume the
dioniiy and society of his station.
‘During this recluse life, time frequently
hung heavily on bis bands, and he purchased
some land with the view of building upon it.
I’be workmen were at first averse to under
take it, and lie did not choose to oppose or
expostulate with them, as it might tend to
a discovery. But on h;s lordship’s offering
lo pay a certain sum in advance, it was a
greed that his designs should be executed.
About this time, too, he undertook thesuper
iutendance of the roads, the management of
the poor’s rates, Bcc., all of which offices he
filled with so much t-k II and discernment as
surprised anu astonished the whole neighbor
hood.
4 He ventured also to pay his addresses to
a young woman, a farmer’s daughter, but was
not attended to from motives of caution, not
being sufficiently known to be trusted. The
person at whose house he lived being less
scrupulous than the rest, permitted him to pay i
his addresses to his daughter, whose rustic !
beauty and modesty he admired. And al- j
though Ihe maiden was paced in a humble
lot, his lordship soon discovered that her vir
tues would one day shed a lustre on a more
exalted station. On (be farmer’s leturnfrom
his labor in the field, the Hon. Mr. Ctc 1 (;:s
Mr. Jones) made proposals of marriage, and
craved the consent, of the female’s parents.
‘What,’ exclaimed Mrs. Higgins, the farmer’s
wife, ‘marry our daughter to s fine gentleman,
a stranger? No, indeed.’ ‘Butyes,’replied
her husband,‘the gentleman lias houses and
land, and plenty f money, and there is no ex
ception to h s conduct.’ Consent being ob
tained, ti e match was then made up, and in
twelve months, by the aid of proper masters,
this charming young country girl became an
accomplished I uly.
‘ Shortly alter liiis event, the Right Hon,
Bro widow Cecil. Eail of Exeter, died, and the
nephew succeeded to his title and estates.—
I’ttis obliged him to leave his much loved re
tirement and hasten to town. He took his
wife along with mm, but said nothing of her
honors and exalted station. In this way be
called al several noblemen and gentlemen’s
seats, and at length arrived at Burleigh House,
the seat of his noble ancestors, near btaintbrd.
The mad was lined with gentlemen a.td te
nantry, assembled to welcome their new lord
and lady. Ttiey entered through the Gothic
porch, which was hung round with flowers
and evergreens and passed up ttie avenue
shaded hy the old trees. ‘O !’ said she, ‘what
a paradise is this!’ The Eail could contain
himself no longer, but excluinu and. ‘li is thine,
dear, and thou art Countess ol Exeter!’ she
e!i back in Hie carriage and landed with joy.
i lay ot lived at the house, her ladyship being
recovered, and were welcomed wait everyde
nioiishation of respect an i affection.
•Having settled his affairs to his satisfaction,
he returned into Shropshire, disclosed liis rank,
and placed his father-in-law in the mansion
ihathehad built in the country, and settled
upon him an annuity ol 500 1 per annum. Af
! ter wards he look the Countess to London, and
introduced Iter to the fashionable world, where
sl.e was universally admired and esteemed.
JEWISH MARRIAGE AT WHITCHURCH.
On Sunday last a circumstance, as novel as
pleasing, took place at Whitchurch. For
tite second time, the interesting ceremony ot
an Israelitish wedding was there performed.
The marriage if the Jews in itself has so
much scriptural interest, from the circum
stance oi its being performed precisely as it
was some 3000 or more years since, that a
correspondent who was an eye witness on
Si nJav, has favored us with this account of
it.
On entering the room was seen Rabbi L.
Chapman, pr.est of the Jews, from Birming
ham, occupied in writing the marriage con
ir-.ct upon a parchment. The tabbi having
cone laded the contract, banded it to
present to read, and then to the bridegroom,
who, alter apparently we'l considering the
j contents, which were written in the HeOrew
|iangu3ge, signed the same, as also did two
Witnesses. This being duly executed, the
bridegroom was conducted from the room
□gain, the bride being ail this time invisible.
A canopy was then erected, being supported
by four persons of the Jewish faith, and so
l .inn strains of music announced the approach
of the bridegroom. The reverend officiate
having placed himself beneath the canopy,
ti e brideg oom was introduced, suppoi ted on
both side< by two male friends.
Again the sound of music proclaimed the
approach of the bri ie who was similarly sup
(xtried, bu! by two ladies. The bridal dress
was strictly scriptural; the maiden was at
ttred in pure white, covered with a veil, as in
Genes s 24, 65. The music having ceased,
he bride, still supported as before, was thrice
Ird round her future husband. We believe
tint ihis emanates from ihe marriage of Jacob
r.nd Leah—Jacob bavins his bride vei'eJ,
married Leah instead of Rachael, Genesis
29, 26. For this reason Tire bridegroom has
an i pporiunity of ascertairit g from *he gait
>r fiaore of his intended wife, as he has"*no
op;>r unity of reading her countenance
through the Jolds of her veii. Having thus
circled round him, she was placed on the
right side of her future -ord.
The priest proceeded then to pronounce a
blessing upon ail present, holding at the time
a glass ot wine m his hand, which, alter the
Conclusion ol a prayer, was handed by a
friend to the happy couple, in token of peace
with all the world ; they; Laving sipped the
same, modestly returned it. The reverened
and venerable rabbi then proceeded to read
aloud the document before described, and
then a second glass whs filled, and a piayt-r
offered up for the future grace of the new
couple, and the second glass was tasted by
both the young people in token of consent to
each other. Then followed a solemn silence
—a moment of suspense—the ring ivas lo be
placed upon the bride’s finger. The fair hand
was extended (as we thought) rather willing
ly, and the ring being handed to the rabbi,
lie first exhibited if to others, and then exam- j
ined it himself He then gave it to the ;
btidegroom who placed it upon the forefinger i
of the right hand of his bride, pronouncing!
the talismanic words, ‘ Hahnd Malta .asith J
Ldh, Rethubath Z t Kadth Mosha Veil, Yes-1
raef—(Angiice— ‘ Thus I wed thee according j
to the laws of Israel as by Moses command-!
ed, ! ) left the ring on the band of the bride. A
glass was placed upon the ground, and in a
moment —crash—the brittle vessel was shat
tered in a thousand pieces by the right foot
of the bridegroom as a token of the uncertain
ly of life, and that all our joys may be shat
tered in a moment.
The sudden change of this solemnity to joy
was cle-ctric; no sooner was the glass in me
dust than ihe music struck up in lively note,
ihe place sounded with ihe words ‘ Mevel
Tour s —(joy! joy!) echo u|x>n echo seemed
to sound in our ears, congratulations were
heartfelt; truly exhilirating was the scene.
The veil of the bride was in a moment res
pectfully removed, and site stood before us
with e\es streaming, thankful and happy, yet
fearful, and smiling on the happy husband.
A look—a prayer—they were married —all
the ceremony was over.
The lady is Miss Priscilla Lazarus, of
Whitchurch ; the gentleman, Mr. Adolph Co
hen, of Birmingham. The reverend rabbi
was express from Birmingham lor the occa
sion.—Salopian Journal.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
At a meeting of the Union Democratic
party of Baker county, held at Albany on th e
20;h day of June, 1340, lor the purpose of
electing delegates to represent said county in
the convention to be ltolden in Milledgeville,
on the 4th day of July next, A. B. Duncan,
Esq. was called to the Chair, and S. C. Ste
vens appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been
stated by the Chairman, on motion of N. W-
Collier, the Chairman appointed Messrs. Tift
Hall, Keaton and Collier a committee to p:e
pare resolutions, expressive of the sentiments
of the meeting.
The Committee withdrew, and returned in
a short time and reported the following pre
amble and resolutions through their Chair
man, N. \V. Collier:
During the year 1882, the citizens of the
State of Georgia became divided into two
great political parties, known by the names
of the State Rights and Union parties, al*
possessing principles of the Jeffersonian Re
pobiioau cieed, all founding their political
creed upon the Virginia and Kentucky Reso
lutions of 1798-99; all opposed to the Tar’
iff of 1524, 1823; ali opposed to a United
States Bank; ail opposed to Internal Improve
ment by the Genera! Government, but difler
ing only in the measures necessary to a
remedy of the Tariff, the one believing the
rightful remedy to be in the doctrine ot Nul
lification, the other in the Judiciary Depart
ment, of the Government together with the
ballot box. And whereas, during the year I
1334, there was formed a certain party known |
by the name and style of the whigs, hostile
to the then administration, formed by the con
nection of Northern Federalists, National
Republicans, anti-masons and Abolitionists
and United States Bank-men; ail of the com.
ponent parts possessing principles hostile to
Southern Institutions and Southern Interests-
And whereas, tiie said u’higs did, at Har
risburgh, meet in Convention and nominate
one Gen. William Henry Harrison, and re
commended him to the people of the United
States for the Chief magistracy of the Union,
declaring at the same time that he, Gen. Har
rison, had been selected by the General voice
of those whose political principles agree with
his own, to go to the head of the column, and
to bear up and advance the flag under which
it is hoped those principles may be maintain
ed and defended, thereby declaring that Gen.
Hartison was the pl ant machine to suit the
views and carry out the measures of all iht?
different parties, making the sa ; d nomination,
associating with him at the same time. The
Hon. John Tyler, a Southerner, for the se
cond office in the gift of the people, a man of
gieat moral worth, of Southern both, and in
every way interested in the prosperity of
Southern Institutions; possessing no feeling
in common with the said Convention, but dif
mo totally and fundamentally, both with the,
Convention aid Gen. Harrison, but done fori
tite purpose of obtaining southern support.!
! die more certain to insure the election of*
Jlarrison. They having failed with their
available four years ago whilst running him
in connection with one of his own principles,!
v*z: Francis Granger and meeting with de
feat.
And whereas in May, at Baltimore,- the*
i great Democratic party did nominate and
| present to ttie people ot the United States,
| Martin Van Buten, the present incumbent, j
for reelection to the i ffice of Chief Magi> 1
* irate, leaving to the citizens of the United
j States no alternative but to select between
! them, and in contrasting the political priori- :
pies we have no hesitancy in declariig in fit 1
i vur of the latter. He having given the cast
ing vote in tte Senate of the United State-’
wiiiie presiding over that body, prohibiting
the circulation of incendiary pamphlets
through the mails, and that at a time when a j
candidate tor the Presidency, and knowing;
tost all the abolitionists would wreak their
yengeance upon him in his election. Further j
■he deehres that he must gi into the Presi-j
dentin! chair the inflexible ana uncompromis- j
ing opponent of any attempt upon the pari
ol Congress to abolish siavery in the district,
of Columbia, agams? the wishes of the slave-;
holding States; and also with a determina-j
lion equally decided to resist the slightest in-)
terfeience with the subject in the States where I
;t exists, He is opposed to Internal Improve-,
ment bv the U. States to a National Bank and
to the Tariff, though he voted for the Tariff of
‘23 with instructions, whilst his opponent on
leaving Virginia, thanked his God that he
gotten rid of Virginia politics and Virginia
Negroes. He hopes to see the day when a
North American sun will not look down on a
siave, and declares to the abolitionists of Ohio
that he is a member of an Abolition Society, 1
and that he has belonged to one from the time 1
he was 13 years oid, and that the obligations I
he then came under he has faithfully perform
ed, and procures the certificate that he was|
one from Judge Gafch. Again he declares
that the emancipation of slavers has long
been an object near his heart; he desires to
see the whole Surplus Revenue appropriated
to that object. He voted in l’-20 for the sale
of free white men when they were unaF* to
pay fines and costs. Ke has placed himself
in the Lands of a confidential committee and
refuses to answer a free people plain questions
when asked his opiirons touching important
subject now agitating the country ; but they
answer for him that his opinions have long
been before the people and are unchanged.
Be it therefore, Resolved, That we can
arrive at no other conclusion than that Gen.
W. H. Harrison was, and his opinions being
unchanged, is a Federalist, an abolitionist, a
Tariffite and a United States Bunk man, and
any bill, if elected furthering anyone of these
t objects, will receive his sanction.
Resolved, That no individual possessing
the principles of Gen. William H. Harrison
ought ever to receive the support of any
Southern Patriot.
Resolved, That Martin Van Buren, from
the course which he has pursued, deserves
the support of the State of Georgia,coinciding
with her citizens in opinion ami practice in
; all leading measures touching the institutions
| of the South, and that we pledge ourselves
to use ail honorable means to secure his re
election.
Resolved, That the fearless, patriotic and
independent course of our Representatives in
Congress, Edward J. Black, Walter T. Col
quitt and Mark A. Cooper meets our decided
approbation, and that we regret the hostile
course of a portion of our fellow citizens in
Convention in Milledgeville, leaving them off
the Congressional Ticket, thereby evidently
showing that aii those who do not bow to the
Log Cabin and Hard Cider Candidate shall
•be proscribed.
Resolved, That we have the utmost con
fidence in the patriotism, integrity and taien.s
of the gentlemen nominated in the Union
Congressional and Electoral ticket at the last
session of the legislature, hut anew political
| era, having spread over the State since and
• great changes in the then two parties, in
| common with other of our feiiovv citizens, do
recommend a remoddeling of said Ticket, and
iu the event of a remoddeling of said tickets,
we do respectfully submit Jo the consideration
of the party the names of Messrs. Black,
Colquitt and Cooper as suitable names to be
placed on the Congressional, and the names
of those old patriots and long tried public
servants, George M. Troup and the Hon.
Henry G. Lamar on the Van Euren andFor
syth Electoral Ticket.
Resolved, That we do respond to the call
made by our fellow citizens of Richmond for
a meeting of the Democrats in Milledgeville,
on the 4th July next, and do nominate ten
D legates to meet such of our fellow citizens
as may assemble on that occasion.
Which were read, and after some able re
marks by Messrs. N. Tift and N. W. Collier,
were unanimously adopted by the meeting.
On motion, the Chairman appointed a com
mittee of four ; Messrs. Cbastaine, Jackson,
Atkins and Keaton, to select and nominate
suitable persons to represent this county in
the said Convention. The said Committee
reported the following gentlemen, who were
unanimously elected by the meeting, viz: B.
M. Cox, John Jackson, John Colly, Wm. H.
Howard, H. M. Powell, N. W. Collier,- Wm.
Dennard, Green Tinsley, C. Cox, Malachi
Jones and A. B. Duncan.
On motion, Resolved, That the proceedings
of this meeting be signed by the Chairman
and Secretary, and that the Union papers
throughout the State be requested to publish
the same. On mo:ion adjourned.

TO OUR CONSTITUENTS.
Knowing tne interest you feel in the opin
ions ot the candidates lor hie Presidency, on
the subject ol AOoiition; and having seen a
letter ol General Harrison, recently published
in the Richmond Whig, lending to show that
he is not an Aoodtionist, we feel it our dtuv j
| to communicate to you certain evidence, I
[ winch we have ourselves seen, of a contrary 1
tendency. It was recently stated by one of’ j
the speakers at an Abolition convention in !
Boston, tiiat the honorable W. B. Calhoun, *
a Wing member of the House of Represent i- j
I fives, from Massachusetts, had Written home
! letters, making statements on tte authority of
General Harrison himself, which went to iden
tify giro witii tne Abolitionists; that the letters
contained an injunction not to let them get
into the uewspipers, but thaj coppies of them
had been mu oinked, and seeretiv shown to j
the Abolitionists, fur the purpose of convincing
them that the General was one of them.
Iu the National helligencer of the 15*th
instant, Mr. Calhoun made a pub ication
admitting that Ire had, on the 4th February
last, written home one letter on the topic in
question; that this letter was based upon a
tetter from General Harrison himself, which
had that morning been put into his hands for
perusal; that General Harrison’s letter con-’
tamed an injunction not to allow it to be pub-’
lislied in the newspapers; that in conse
quence of’ tins injunction, he annexed a simi
lar one to fits letter; but that he had a copy
which would be submitted to the inspection
of any gentleman who had a desire to see it.
Start,ed at this developement of the fact,
that Genera! Harrison, while withholding his
opinions from those who asked them for the
use of the public, had himjelf put < n foot a
scheme to satisfy the Ab ilitionists, we thought
it incumbent on us to examine the evidence
of that fact which was stated to be accessible
for inspection. We (bund it of such an ex
traordinary character as to require of us to
lay it before you in the most authentic shape
within our power. In consequence of General
Harrison's injunction, Mr. Calhoun refuses to
let even his own letter he published, or tooive
a copy thereof, so that we are obliged u/relv
on memory in submitting to you its contents.
Having each of us carefuilv perused it, and
compared our recollections, we are sure that
•he following contains the substance, and docs
not vary materially from the form and-lan
guage of that letter, viz :
[ Washington, Feb. 4, 1341.
Nr: I observed in the doings of the A nii
j s ] aver y convention at Springfield, a resolution
: denouncing General Harrison. I have seen
i a letter from the General, in which he pro
, nounces the story circulating in the press or
u esr certain which.) that he. while
j Governor of Inuiana, for ten years, done
! every thing in his power to spread slavery, a
; foul siander, and spe.-.ks ot it v.r.h indignation,
land says that it w >n.J he imp,..-,. ib!e~f> him
!to do any ling of the !■ uJ,ettiiei private)/or
(publicly, lor me reason, he says,’that while
jony eighteen years of age, in Virginia; he
joined an Abolition society, and, with the
other members <4 the same pledged himself
to do eve.y thing in his power to iff ct the
emancipation of staves —that lie was to inherit
a large property m slaves, srd subsequently
not only emancipated h i own, but purchased
otheis for the purpose of emancipating therm
This is what Lie General himself says. I
write* you this for such use as you may think
proper, except put dog it in the newspapers.
_ WM. B. CALHOUN.
Hon. Judge Montis.
The letter of Gen. Harrison, herein alluded
to, is understood to have'been addressed to
the Hon. George Evans, a Whig member of
the House from the Siate of Maine.
Tite letter of the Oswego Union Associa
tion, a>k;i)g Gen. Harrison’s opinions on the
subject of Abolition, was dated Jan. 31, 1840,
and must have been received about the time
ins letter to Mr. Evans was written, inas
much as that letter was shown to Mr. Cal
houn on the 4:h of February, The Oswego
letter was answered by the committee,
Gw.vnne, VV right,* and Spencer, on the 29th
of’ February, to whom the Genet a! admits,
in his letter to the Hon. Joseph L. Williams,
an extract of which was published in the
National Intelligencer of tne 11th insf. fie
turned ovir many letters for reply. How,
then, stand the facts ?
In January last, Gen. Harrison himself
writes a leter to Mr. Evans, containing an
injunction that it should not be allowed to get
into the newspapers, the substance of which
was secretly used to satisfy the Abolitionists
that fie was o;.e of them, upon his oivn cu
tlwriiy.
In February last, his committed, m reply
to the Oswego letter, sa*d: ‘ The policy is,
that die Genera! make no further declaration
o! his principles ibr tite pubi c eye whilst
occupying his present position.*
On trie 10ih April last the General declared
to Capt. Cnambeis and C. Van Burkuk, esq.
who were borers ot a letter to him f.oni Lou
iSViile, Ky. ashing his op; .sms on tte subject
ol Abolition, tuai; nothing could induce him to
answer sucti interrogatories coming cither from
fi it ids or fits?
N et, m January lasi, General Harrison did.
no hesitate to wme to Mr. Evans, giving such
a i >lor to Ins course atui opinions mi the sub
ject ol slavery and Abolition, as to enable his
friends at the North to electioneer ibr him as
an Aholniouist; with a strict injunction, how
ever, that fits letter should not he allowed to get
inio the newspapers.
And now we have his letter of June Ist to
Mr. Lyonsoi''Virginia, so worded as to enable
his friends of the South to electioneer for him,
as opposed to Abolition ; in which letter, he
says, I do not wish what I have said above to
be published.
e should not consider the interests of the
American people ease in the hands of a man,
who refuses his pnnciples ‘for the public eye ,’
but does not hesitate in iiis private letters, writ
ten with express injunctions that they shall not
he seen by die public, to give such coloring to
those principles as may be best calculated to
get votes, without regard to frankness or con
sistency.
Yfe should’ deem the interests of our con
stituents peculiarly unsafe in the hands of any
man, whether really an Abolitionist or not,
who cun, for a moment, reconcile il to himself,
privately to coint these dangerous fanatics
w.Ui a view to their political support; thereby
giving the conhdeuee and increase of strength
i t itieir mad warfare, upon our peace, our
property, and our lives.
This is a matter which admits of no in
trigue, aheiing or compromise.
.Foi the secret tampciing with Abolitionism,
now disclosed, Gen. Harrison should, in our
opinion, he treated as an Abolitionist by every
friend of the South and of the Union.
The danger in which we consider your
dearest interest, placed by this secret manage
ment and double dealing, is our chief induce
ment to make you this e'onimunicf.tion.

GENERAL IIARRT,‘-ION’S SPEECH AT
FORT MEIGS.
[Repor o f f.T the Detroit Advertiser.]
Fellow Citizens :
i am not, iq on ti is occasion, he sere ycu in
accordance with my own individual views or
wishes, ii bus ever appeared to me, that the
office of Presid nt of the United Stales .should
not be sought alter by any individual; hut
that the people should spontaneously, and
with their own free will, accord the distin
gusnied Donor to ;!,e man who tl.eyjjhclievcd
would best perform i'.-. mipoitant duties.—
Entertaining these views, i should, ieitovv
citizens, have remained at i.ome, but lor tlie
pressing invitation which 1 have received
troTri die citizens of Periy.~burg, and the
earnestness with which its acceptation was
urged upon iue by friends in whom I trusted,
and whom I am now ptottd to see mound me.
*'j however, leirow-cuizens, I had remained
at home —believe me, my friends, that my
spirit, would have been wuii you ; lor where,
.n this ueaui fu! land, is tiieie a place caleu
ialtd, as this is, to recall long past icminis
ceiices, and revive long slumbering, tut not
ivholiy extinguished, emotions iu my bosom?
In casting my eyes around, lllknv-citizens,
they rest upon the spot where the valiant
Wayne triumphed so gloriously over ins ene
mies, and carried out those principles which
it seemed his pleasure to impress upon my
aitnd, and in which it has ever been tnv hap
piness humbly to attempt Jo imitate him. It
vyas there, fellow-citizens, I saw the bannerol’
die United States float’ in triumph over the
flag of lhe enemy. There it was where was
mst laid the foundation of the prosperity of
the now wide-spread and beautiful West. It
was , re r J saw the indiqaant frown
upon the British Lion. Ii was there t'saw
ne youth ot our land carry out the lesson
‘7 “ ,!b ‘T;* r ™“> Ib. gallant W.vne, the
ni.ti-esl and beat an Amer.can cm acquire, to
me for his country when caked to do so in iu
defence.
[At this moment tint speaker’s eve feli upon
Gc... Hedges, when he said : • Gen. Hedges,
Wi.i you come up here? You have stood bv
my side in the hour of battle, and I cannot
, ear !0 see you at so great a distance now.*
Immense cheering followed this considerate
recognition, and the cries of ‘ raise him up,’
P‘ a< ’ e him by the side of the old general,’
nad scarcely Deen uttered when Gnu. Hedges
was carried forward to the stand.]
Fhs General continued. It was mere I
saw interred my beloved companions, the
companions of my youth, it was not in
aceor lance with the stern etiquette of inil
u.ary hie then, to mourn their departure; but
I may now drop a tear over their graves, at
the recollection of their virtues and worth.
I'i 1792, fellow-citizens, I received my
commwsion to serve under Gen. Wayne. In
