[The above words were the last request of an Irish lad to his mother, as lie was dying from star- i ration. She found three grains in a corner of his Ragged jacket and gave them to him. it «as all she had; the whole family were perishing from famine.] Give me three grains of corn, mother. Only three grains of corn. It w ill keep the little life I have Till the coming of the morn. I am dying of hunger and cold, mother. Dying of hunger and cold, Ami half the agony of such a death, My lips have never told. It has gnawed like a wolf at my heart, mother, A wolf that is fierce for blood. All the live long day, and the night beside, Gnawing for lark of food. I dreamed of bread in my sleep, mother, And the sight was heaven to see; I woke with an eager famishing lip, Rut you had no bread for me. How could 1 look to you. mother, How eonld I look to yon, For bread to give to your starving hoy. When you were starving, too ? For I read the famine in your cheek And in your eye so wild. And I felt it in your bony hand As you laid it on your child. TheQn<*en has lands and gold, mother. The Queen has lands and gold, While you are forced to your empty breast A skeleton babe to hold— A babe that is dying of want, mother, As I am dying now, With a ghastly look in its sunken eye, And famine upon its brow. What has poor Ireland done, mother. What has poor Ireland done, That the world looks on and sees us starve, Perishing one hy one. Do the men of England rare not, mother, The great men ami llie high. For the suffering sons of Erin's Isle, Whether they live or die? There is many a brave heart here, mother, Dying of want and cold. While only across the channel, mother, Are many that roll in gold. There are rich and proud men there, mother. With wondrous wealth to view. And the bread they (ling to their dogs to-night Would give me life and you! Com'* nearer to my side, mother, Come nearer to my side, And hold me fondly as you held My father, when he died. Quick, for I cannot see you, mother, My breath is almost gone, Mother! dear mother! ere I die, Give me three grains of corn ! [From the. Western Continent.] LETTER FROM. GVORGIA TO MASSACMISETTS). NO. I. Dear Sister Mass: R’ad this letter, attentively, patient- j Jy, and candidly; and when you shall I have read if, place it amor.tr your ar. chives, where History may find if, when Aoblilionism, of which you are the mo ther, and the chief supporter, shall have accomplished its now undisguised pur pose. In addressing you, I shall endeavor to observe she respect due lo an elder sister; but, at the same time, I must j guard you against confounding truths j which prove you to he entitled to no re spect a - all, with a breach of courtesy. Certainly, after the unsparing and un provoked abuse which you have heaped upon me and my nieghboring sister for many years, I might be pardoned for the most bitter recrimination; but if I were not deterred from them by self-respect, and the dread that I have of being thought like you in any respect, 1 should certain ly forbear them nowihal I am about to give to the world so much of your history as involves mv interest, and the points of difference between us; for if you he not invulnerable, this will inflict a wound j upon you, deep enough, and painful enough, to appease even malignity itself; j and I am sure I have not a particle of that in my composition It will irritate you, 1 know it, sister Mass.—what that comes fiom the South does not? Hutto this fam indifferent; not because I de light in provocation, but because it will give you some little apology for wrath , which you have enkindled without cause, and cherished without excuse, for many long years. Some things that I have lo say to you will be equally applicable to your neighbors, who have imbibed your principles. To such I have a caution, hut no apalogy to olfer; the canton is, that they avoid the common fault of pro selytes, which is to take to themselves an * over-share of the disgrace which may at tach to their new faith, in the belief that ibis will entitled them to an over share of its honors. When I first settled in this country, as you may remember, I proclaimed to the | world that I intended to have nothing to do with Slavery; and I adhered stead- | lastly to my resolution, until it was over powered by the complaints of my child ren. They comparedmy situation with my sister’s on the other side of the Savannah. I was gaining but a bare subsistence, : < they said, by the labor of my children, while she was grow ing rich by the labor of slaves. Her sons were sent over to England, lo recieve a liberal education, ; while mine were kept constantly employ ed delving for bread in my unhealthy lowlands, or nursing silk worms on my < arid barrens. They censured my squeam- i ishness in regard to Slavery, and pointed ; to all the other sisters of the family, es pecially to you and sister Penny, who ; made great pretensions to piety, as enter- i taining scruples upon that subject. In deed, the prevailing opinion of the w hole < family at that time was, that it was a mercy to the African race lo bring them, even as slaves, from the miseries of their own country, to this. Urged by these considerations, any many other*, and find- T-Ts—i» ■ it mm, ■■■■■■■■■ ing myself unsupported by a single mem ber of the family in my opposition to Slavery. 1 at lengih yielded a reluctant I consent to the introduction of slaves into |my domain. My consent was no sooner I obtained lhan you and mother Brilania : filled my ports, my fields, and mv houses, with these unfortunaie being* —Slaves — ! “kidnapped” at their parents’ doors, hy I “man-stealers,' in very truth, carrying 1 your blood and our mother’s blood in their veins; but not a dropof mine. Man | stealers, who are verily complimented hv | lliß name, as you would readily admit, had you seen them, as I have seen them, ; coming into port with an escort, of sharks, | j and landing their cargoes of naked, starv- i ing, sick, and dead, and dving human beings, from the most infernal fetid pits j that man ever lived in or ever died in.— [ have of’en seen mv children weep over these wretched victims of Yankee ava rice, while yours drove their trades. with all that same self-sufficiency, pertness, humor and disgusting suppleness, which marks the character of your Pedlars at the present day. I have known these miserable w retches, when just from the hands of the Britton and Yankee, todis ; pute with the vallures fur the halfdevoured ! carcass that lay by tlie highway, and ! wi h difficulty restrained from feeding upon the loathsome mass of putrescende. Indeed the first care of the purchaser from the slave-ship used lo he, to prevent them from killinir themselves hv surfeit. For the part which my sons took in these * shocking scenes, God mav, for aught I know, have judgments in reserve for me; l>nt I cannot believe that he will ever use you as the instrument tor executing them. That my children, in purchasing slaves from yours, delivered them firm the most cruel bondage that man ever groaned under, is most true —that there ! was pity and compassion on the side of the pruchasers, and none on the side of the venders, is equally true; but for these things I give them no credit, because self ishness and not humanity urged them lo the traffic. But if they ho guilty, they who never owned a slave-ship or sailed on board of one—they who never en slaved a freeman—l hoy to whom the slave j rushed with joy from the cruelties of your sons—they who would not look into the floating dungeons, from which your doys daily drew their famished dead, for many long weeks—in mercy’s name, where do you stand? Os all the sister hood, you should he the first to sympa thise with rnc and the last to upbraid me. Cut you are the file-loader in this modern crusade upon Southern rights; and die end of it will be just what might b? ex pected from such a leader in sucha cause; trouble to us both, hut a thousand times more trouble to you than to me. Laugh at the prediction if you please—but hear j it in mind, the result of your movements j will he more disastrous to you and your allies, than to me and mine. Why, 1 thus | judge, will be disclosed in the sequel, w hen 1 shall return lo this subject. As a [>roper introduction to it, lei us pursue your history in order. You and mother Bril, having “'put the price of human flesh in your pockets,” went ofTglorying in your profits—leaving me to manage this flesh as I could. In process of time, the Old Lady grew weary of making money hv the slow pro cess of traffic with her daughters; and she determined to get it in a more sum mary way—by virtue of her authority. Accordingly site issued her orders that i we should all he taxed. This was a di rect approach to the seat of your sensihili- | lies, and of course you became despe- j rale. You called upon ns all to unite w ith you in resisting her exactions. The : other sisters responded promptly to the call; hut what was Ito do? I was very young, and very weak. Father Ogle thorpe had with difficulty saved my life j from the Spanish sword. My mother had for a long time, as 1 have intimated, kept me poor by confining me lo the silk busi ness, instead of lotting me choose my i own occupation. I was surrounded by j Indian tribes, numerous and warlike.— | Your importations of “flesh and blood” | had by this lime increased upon me to | rather an alarming extent —and of course [ was in no situation to throw off parent al authority to meet the inevitable consequences. Withal, I was just be ginningto gain health and strength. My affairs were intrusted to the supervision of James Wright, a most amiable, excel lent, prudent man, w ho left me no ground of complaint. As the for tax it did not hurt me; for the plain reason that I had little or nothing to he taxed. As for tea, not one in a 1 hundred of my children ever used it; and most of them, I believe, had never seen if. To espouse your cause under these circumstances was, it seemed to me, to sacrifice everthing and lo gain nothing. And yet to stand by and see you flogged into submission, to unrighteous exactions, was abhorrent to every principle of my I nature. I did wdial you never do—l sa- ; crificed interest to principle and joined j you—l say I joined you;far you were the only one of the family who had come to blows with our mother. The rest of us were foolishly hoping for a compromise: but you took the better course, you re sisted oppression at its first approach; and you did well, as the event clcaily proved. In cases of doubtfully right, compromises are excellent things; but w here there is flagrant injustice, cruelty and extortion on the one hand, and clear right on the other, a compromise is no better than a reward to iniquity for its daring, and a promise to double the pre mium at short payment, when it becomes doubly villainous. He is a fool, or a suicide, or both, who tries to apnease the bloodhound by giving him a lap of his blood; and man bereft of every moral sense, is but a bloodhound with human sagacity. You did right, therefore, sis- ter Mass, in resisting oppression in lirnone, though it seemed a desperate adventure at the lime. My support of you, ruined me for a lime. \\ e conquered, and having severed the connexion with our unnatural parent, we "ere now all, by common consent, at liberty, to manage our own affairs in our own way. Not one of the sisters di earned j that she had any right to intermeddle with the domestic concern of another. Withal, these were days of decency and courtesy, which protected each from the , intrusions of another. That such was the general understanding at that time, was I proved beyond questions by the fact, that ' when the social compact was formed, two | of the sLters refused for a time to unite in it; and during this time they were con sidered by all as entirely independent of the rest. This was “the Government of the j People, ’ as we learn from high judicial ! authority, which three millions could not j enforce upon four hundred and sixty ; | thousand, and which eleven communities I I could not enforce upon two! I beg you to j remember these things for future uses, j Absolved from maternal authority, we agreed to hand together for common dc- j fence and general welfare. To this end wedrewnp articles of confederation, in i which we confided to deputies chosen by us all, the management of our foreign re- ' lations. and such matters as were of gen eral interest; while we reserved to our- I solves individually the enure management : of our local concerns, (t was in settling these articles that you and I divided for the first lime; and as we have never agreed mdcc, I hegleave to submit to the judgment of the world the points of differ | enco between n<q with the, course of us both incur opposition. You were for i clothing the Deputies with powers to force : us to a perpetual union, and to revise, if , not to direct, all our household move ments. You supposed there would be a perpetual tendency in the sisterhood to fly fiomeach other, and you would have made the Deputies “whippers in ’ to us. Indeed. 1 think I would hazard nothing in saying, that you would gladly have adopted the Old Lady’s system of gov- I eminent which we had just thrown oft. Nor have 1 a scruple of blame (o attach Ito you on this account. They Were i strange views, to be sure, under the cir | curnstances, and in point of coiuislenci). in perfect keeping with your views ever | since; but then tLey were sincere, and I therefore they received from mo the most liberal indulgence—an indulgence which i I would gladly have repeated, had you afforded me an opportunity like favorable, j i within the last fifty years. • - On the other hand, f believed that the i ties of friendship, kindred, and common interest would keep us together in love and harmony, without the aid of a driver’s thong—our children intermingling and intermarrying, 1 could not conceive how we were ever to fall out. Nor could 1 see, nor can I yet see, the propriety of I keeping any sister in the family, who might wish to leave, it. My dread was of ' the Deputies. Power! know to he self i sustaining and self-increasing. All history had proved this. My plan, therefore, was i to clothe ihe Deputies with just power enough to discharge the trust confided to them, and no more. My plan previled; and one would suppose—or rather, one have would supposed , that you possessed modesty enough to await the decisions of experience, upon the questions of differ, j j ences between you, and a large majority of the family. Not you, however. That your judgment was not considered author itative, seems to have been considered an 1 ample apology to yourself, at least, for i laying aside all modesty, all courtesy j all decency, and all consistency, when’ you slept into the confederacy. As you could not have the articles cut to your pattern, you determined to stretch them I to it; and accordingly you have been for | : sixty years, engaged in the singular rm- I ployment of fitting your rejected suit to j i the Deputies, and then abusing them most unmercifully, for wearing it—or to speak | | without a figure—yet have ever been i labeling to increase the powers of the | Deputies, by construction; and you ever I complaining, most bitterly, of their abuse of power. Counting out Washington’s administration, about which there is a sanctity, which none of us dare invade, you have qua rrelled with every other save one; and that one every body else quar relled with. If was but recently your J • son John cried out, “we have been under slave domination for forty years;” and yet, you are as ripe for incresing that power as ever you were. And here lies the secret of your desperate abolition efforts. That you have not half the sym pathy for the slave that I have, I will prove to the satisfaction of every unpre judiced mind. 1 could excuse your zeal in behalf of freedom, if you had wit enough to conceal its true object. But so palpably does selfishness—a yearning for the loaves and fishes, evince itself, in all I your mock philanlhrophy, that to credit you for the virtue which you feign, would be to discredit myself for common sense. But let me not anticipate. The confederation established, we all got along pretty well. Your children came in great numbers to my domain, and I received them kindly. I did not like their wavs in all respects —they were too for ward, too tricky, and too covetous; but as these were hereditary faults that I, knew would soon wear away in tin's lat itude, and asthey possessed some redeem ing virtues, I gave them a hearty wel come. They tarried with me, arried into mv family, and raised a numerous pro geny, who now carry into their veins the blood of us both. Let me impress this fact upon your memory, as it has an important connection with what 1 have yet to say. We had not long set up for ourselves, before the war between France and Eng land commenced. The blood of the first 1 had hardly dried up from your fields, and the stripes of the last had hardly cured up on your back, and yet you look sides with the latter. This you did be fore you could plead the horrors of the Revolution as an apology for your unna tural preference. Indeed those horrors were the result of misdirected zeal in a really good cause; like your burning I down Catholic Churches to advance the cause of Religion. France was your ally, England was your enemy. The ! first struggled lor the people; the last i struggled for kings. The one, lighted j the torch of freedom at your altars; the ! other, at the same altars, mingled vour blood with your sacrifices. The one was a reformer; the other was an ii.termed- I dler. And yet you took sides with the | latter! I could not follow you, and here ! we split again. In that contest both | j trampled upon our rights, but it was for I the last to seize our children and make ; | them lift the sword against their henefac- ! ; tors. Our children, did I sav ! Not ours, i but yours. Not one did 1 loose by this S daring assumption; but you lost many. For this and many other insults and i wrongs, we declared war against Britain. And where were you now ? There were ! 1 your own sons really “bondsmen” in j the bands of “manstealers;” and there 1 I was your property confiscated by their “masters.” Yon, of course, warmly e-. poused the war which was declared to i’s | punish these outrages; did you not ? I Not you: you opposed it, you denounced it, and you interposed every barrier to ; success that you possibly could. With I one eye upon Bunker’s Hill, and the j other upon \ orktown, you landed George i the 'I bird, and calumniated Madison; and when you found that all your efforts to arrest the war proved abortive, you ; sent one portion of your children to plot j a dissolution of the Union, and another i to your Waterfalls to supplant your be loved friend in manufactures, ! The war ended, we next find you mak ing your conges to that much abused . government, and humbly soliciting a lit tle protection for those generous sons of yours, whoso magnanimously slept for- ; ward, in the lime of distress to supply the country with clothing. You told us that if the government which you had so ; kindly befriended, would only fling its pro- ■ tecting arms about them fora few years, you would release it from further obli gation, throw yourself, like other people, upon your own resources, and make a ; wonderful return for the boon extended to them. It was granted; and surely, af ter what had transpired, if you could stoop to ask it, they who granted it may be excused on the score of heroLm, if not of justice and policy. The favor grant- i ed, you returned to your abuse— ihe sow that was washed , to her wallowing in the mire. 'Hie time expired, you again appeared before the Deputies, not to verify vour i former promises, hut to ask fora little in crease of protection. This time you told | 1 many incons’stenl stories; but as they were matters of course, little was thought of them; and you were auain favored. In a few years you were hack again, supported by sister Conny and sister Rhody, who had got a sipof the pap upon which you fattened so lustily, and who had become as ravenous of it as your. | self. Here was now exhibited to the world a sublime moral spectacle—the file-leader of the Hartford Convention, at the City of Washington—not “to take measures to protect their citizens from | forcible draughts, conscriptions, and im prcssmenls,” (so our military requisitions were called.) but modestly to request the American family to tax themselves for the third time with increased severity, in order that this darling Triplet might do a money-making business. But 1 must conclude this long letter.— I thought, when I commenced it, that it would, within less space, contain all that [ had to say; but I find that it will not; 1 and to do you and myself justice, I must address you again. In the mean time let me say to your children who have op posed your strange and wayward course, that so far from attaching blame to them, I look upon them as among the noblest, if not the very noblest spirits of the land. ; To stick to their country audio principle, amidst the influences which surround them, argues a moral character and a moral firmness which deserves the high est praise, and of course a higher paren tage. Your injured sister, GEORGIA. P. S. If I can find a vehicle in Sister Mary’s family, which is not already char- | tered bv politicians, I shall avail myself | of it for this communication, because ! from her position, both local and moral, she is most likely to deal justly by us both. iarnniiah Kaccs.

We are pleased with the tenor of •‘Troup’s” communication, and agree with most of his sentiments. We have, however, two objec tions to laying it before the public, either of which would decide us.

We hope that our citizens will indicate their established reputation for patronizing rational and scientific entertainments, by at tending Dr. Webster’s lecture to-morrow evening. We anticipate some most salislac tory and marvellous specimens of Clairvoy ance. Tins is what our community has long wished to witness. This portion of the ex hibition will be conspicuous. It is Dr. W.’s forte, and he expects to produce on his audi ence a powerful impression. Dr. W.’s tes timonials are of the highest character. They are from names well known in the scientific world. The Kivcr. We noticed in our last the sudden rise in our river, and it continued on the rise up to ten o’clock last evening, when it was thought to be at a stand. The water reached on Bay-street the Church walls, and considera ble damage has no doubt been done to the wharves and stagings, as several of the lat ter were seen floating down stream last eve ning. A portion of the Commons lias been covered; the water making an entrance in the upper part of the city through Hawk’s Gully, Several small bridges over the Bea ver Dam have been washed away, but no se rious damage has so far been sustained, j The Canal, for the safety of which great fears have been entertained, we are glad to i . . . learn has received but little injury. A small brake in the embankment at a place called the Rip Raps, was made by the back water from the river, but we understand the damage j can be repaired for six or eight hundred dol lars. The greatest injury has been sustain ed, on the outlet for the water of the canal, which was in an unfinished stale. This freshet will have the effect to give those dis posed to erect factories on the canal, more confidence, as the present flood will test the faithfulness of its construction. Ceorgiu lo JliiMatUiiuetts. \Ve give this morning the Aral of a series of letters under the ab >ve title, now in the course of publication in the Western Con tinent, the editors of which paper, in inlro i ducing them to their readers, say—“We de sire to call the attention of our readers, of j all parlies, to the series of letters commenced in our present number. The author is a distinguished Georgian, whose character, as a statesman and philanthropist, were we per j milled to give his name to the public, could not fail to command the respectful attention of those whom he designs to address, how ever much they might differ with him in views and sentiments. We deem that there is no apology demanded from ns for giving publicity to these letters at this time. An alarming crisis in our national affairs is ra pidly approaching, and unless the voice of j sober reason may be heard now, and the S spirit of unholy fanaticism stayed in its course of homicidal aggression, the days of our Union urc numbered. “it is lime that the South should be heard by the people of the free States, —and it be comes all who prefer peace and harmony to discord and anarchy—who prefer the count less blessings which flow from our present glorious Union, to the untold evils which would inevitably follow its dissolution, —to give her a dispassionate and unprejudiced hearing.” Tlic Xrxl C’o«i#rr**. We find in tiie New York Herald a state ment croing to show the political complexion of the next Congress, from which it appears that the Senate will consist of (so far as elec tions have been held) thirty-four democrats and twenty wings—democratic majority four teen. There remains to be elected, one Sen ator from Georgia, one from Tennessee, two from lowa and two from Wisconsin, which is put down as doubtful, but should whigs be selected to till the vacancies, the democrats will still have in that body a majority of eight. In the House of Representatives, as far as heard from, 60 democrats, 76 whigs and 1 native have been elected. Elections have still lobe held in the following States, viz: Maine (to fill vacancies), New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, Vir ginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio (vacancy), Louisiana, Kentucky, Ten nessee, and Indiana. To the last Congress the above States returned 63 democrats, and 28 whigs, and should there be no changes this year, the democrats will have a majority in the House of 18. Wisconsin is not added to the above list—she will probably send two members. For our own part we do not think the de mocratic majority in the House will be over 10 or 12—but this is sufficiently large for any useful purpose, and we think will in sure more unanimity of action. o*The Alexandria Gazette states that the vote in the Senate, on the nomination of Charles J.
