William made his escape: . This was
the firlt a& of hostility of theln‘ians at
the com:nencement of the old French
.and InJian war. The party “ctofled
Conne&icut river at Coes, and with
their prisoners were received with
éreat parade at their village on, St.
rancois tiver. Seeing in young Stark
the charafter he has ever fultained,
the Indians treated him with the
greatest refpc&. They initiated him’
into the family’ of their lately deceal
ed Chief—gave 'him the widow for
his mother,and offéred him her daugh
ter in marriage. I have had many
hours of high enjoyment in hearing
the old gentleman'relate anecdotes’ of
this captivity.
. Stark remained with the Indians
‘three or four ‘months; and he fays
he received more Kindness from them,
_ A figd
than he has ever seen prisoners of war
receive from any civilized nation, and
that they practife the moral virtues
in geperal much more than the Euro
peans.* ‘ ok
A Mr. Wheelright of Boston, being
~in Canada, ransomed Stark of the In
dians ; the latter paying the ransom
money when he returned home. '

GENERAL JOHN' STARK.
H & %as born i Londonderry, N. H.
in the year 1728. His father was a
native of Dumbarton in Scotland, and
was educated at Edinburgh Univer

of Ireland, and came immediately to
sAmerica. Héd made his firß pitch in
Londonderry, but soon removed to
Derryfield, where he chose a pleasant
fertile spot on the ealt bank of Mer
rimac river, near Amofkeag Fal's.
Althovgh he had received a libexal
education himfelf, (and always was a
good liver,) he was not in a fitnation
to give the fame advaotages to his
children. Hisfon John, and his elder
son William, as they grew up, at cer
tain seasons of the year, were employ
ed in hunting. At the age of 21,
John, with his brother and two others
by the names of Eastman and Stinfon,
were out upon a huating party on
Baker’s river, where the town of Rum

then been friendly, they placed con

and Eastman were decoyed and taken

g and went to his house, took his mus

. and without any céat, that he might
' not be encumbered, he went off to
meet his little band, who, like that of
- Leonidas at the ftreights of Thermo

death They went from town to town
- expelting’at every step to fee the enemy,
_ for the information wasthe fams—every
~one told them they expe&=d to fee the
“regulars” every moment. Their
numbers increased as they “advanced,
~till they arrived the nexg morning at
Lexington, where they saw f{aall

than one thousand in number, who
had leéft their families at a moment’s
notice, without any previous arange
ments, to give themselves up'to their
country: - What a scene! One would
think it would almost animate the
cold heart of 2 tory to the love of

The next morning their leader re
' ceived a Colonel’s commiflion, and
P enliting orders. In lels than two
| hours he enlift=d eight hundred men.
Stark, in accepting a commiflion

dition that if New Hamplhire should 1
agree to join ‘o raising her proportion
of troops for general ‘efence, this re- {1
giment should be considered as a part.

“himfelf before the “Legislative body

On all gpeftions, Mr Randolph has ever |
taken a decided part in debate and beenr a |
thorn in the fide of the party to whom h'c,f‘;
had been opposed. : |
In private life John Randolph is humane 3
and benevolent ; butin the social circle is
too apt to assume a dictatorial manner. Nae
turally irritable, such is the {irength of his -
paflions, that if yoa once offend him, ycu
make him your enemy forever. As a proof
of this, and in order to account for a very
extraordinary change in Mr Randolph’s
mode of thinking, we shall record an apec
dote of him and can vouch for its authen
ticity. From the time that Mr R. was in
treduced into public life a very friendly in
timacy {fubfilted between him and Mr Mad
ison. The house of the latter was Mr R's
home, and he was considered as a son of the
family. « Although he fre§uently violated
the rules of decorum, by attempting to dic- -
tate {0 the secretary of ftaie respecting bis
official cuties, #t was overlooked, Not con
tenf, however, with this, he attempted
to play | off some of his biting and sar
castic humor on the dress, the manners and
the management of the female part of the
family, This rudencfs was properly resent
ed from that quarter From: that day Mr.
Rapdeiph became a stranger to the family
—from that dly he has been the enemy of
one of his warme(t friends, and from that
time forward was the open and avowed
foe of Mr J:fferfon’s administration. -
In order to account for the revolution i
Randoiph’s political sentiments, it has been
aflerted that he was disappointed in a for
efgn embafly From the highest authority
we know that it is 2 mistake ; for he dever
foliciteo a foreign appoistment. 'The weak
ness of his constitution, and his patural pet- |
ulance of temper renders him unfit to fill a
dipiomatic station :
A< an orator, John Randolph is the firft
on 'the floor of Congress, He wunites the
solidity of a Fox with the fire of a Burke
—the majclty of a Pitt with the playful |
hutior and biting satire of a Sheridan. His |
alion is chaste and his didinn classical, Al
though his voiee is weak angd cff minate, yet |
his utterance is ditinét and meclodious. We
have cften {at for hours together in raptores
listening to the deciamarions of our little
bero, and owr judgment has frequently been
for.a moment vanquished by the force, of
his cloguence. )
Such is John Randolph; a man to whom
nature has been prodigal of her gifts—the
greatest of orators—the molt mconfiltent of -
men. dl e WET, SCRIPT,

student, the disgusting and dry rcading of
‘Coke and Lytticton did not alarm him; in
a short period, by perseverance he obtained
a profouna general knowledge of that im
portant science. His talents were as yet
known only to the fele& few whom he ac- -
counted his friends.- But after commencing
his practice, on the firft favorable opportu- |
nity that offered, he shone forth as the fun |
after a ¢loud has obscured his refilgence, |
and illuminated the whole horizon within |
his circle. His fame spread like ele&ricity,
aand with it his practice increased in propor
tion. But the death of his venerated father |
and his elder brother, which happened aboiit
this time, leit him morcthan a compes |
tency for one of his abstemious _habiis ; I
he therdfore relinquished the law as |
a profeffion, and, in his course of study, !
commenced that of the law of nature and

him a prodigy, cle€ted him their representa

The light of truth, which burst with such
glorious splendor on the caftern {cion of
the Union. through the clouds and mists of
deception, appears to make a gradual pro
gress in the New-England States. Even
Connecticut has received a partial illumina
‘tion. We are informed that there will be
a republican gain of twelve in the House of
Representatives—there will probably be no
choice of Governor by the people, owing to
a division among the federalifis—Ticadwell
being supported by Prieferaft, and Griswold
by Lawcraft. Returns have been received
from 103 tewns which give Mr. Spalding,
the reputlican candidate, 6472 votes. Mr.
Treadwell, present governor. 9134 Griswold
2963 The Hartford Mercury fays, “ The
votes for Governor does not thew the repub
lican {trength, as, whatever may be thought
~of the policy, it is certain that many repub
licans voted for Mr. Griswold.”

The state election was held in Rhode-
Iland on Wednesday last—The republicans
bave triumphed in every branch of the gov
¢rnment. The republican ticket has gamed

Federal Economy and Patriotism.
At the late feflion of the Legislature of
New York, a resolve pafled the federal House
of sflembly to reduce the emoluments of
several offices held by republicars, which was
sent to the Senate for their concurrence.—
The Senate added several amendments, cx
tending the diminution of emolument, and
including fcveral offices held by faderalifis,
pafled the resolve, and teturned it to the
House. "This put their boalted patriotism to
a test it could not bear—and fully evinced
that the obje@ of those who originated the
reflolve, was not the ecomomy of public money,
but to filch from their opponenss the emolu
ments which had been by law attached to
the offices which they held—for when the
resolve, as amended, was returned to the
Houle, the federal fathers of it declared it
W improper and unprecedented ” that their interefls
should be affected by a measure originating
with themiclves—they therefore refufed to
concur in the amendments of the Senate —
The members who originated and {upported
the resolve in the House, to dimimih the
emolument of republican officers, held some
of ‘the offices which would be affeéted by
the adoption of the amendwents——and that
accounts for their nonconcurvence ! 'The Senate,
however, aétuated by a spirit of practical
cconomy, receded from their amendments,
and pafled the resolve as it came from the
House. The federalifts seem to have com
pictely reversed the sentiment of the text so
often quoted by pathetic {eribblers, that it
should be rendered, - :
Who ftcals my ruksE, steals what was all to me.
*Trwas that alone wwhich gave me all my consequence,
This away, and I must ﬁqk to infignificance,
Unneted among the vu'gar herd. :
But he who filches from me my good name, .
Robs me of a ulelefs; vain incumbrance.
What's a name ?—"Tis something— nothing—
The dream of fools——Lbeneath a rich m;n"i care.
Truly in character. . -
At the late [feffin of the New York
Legislature, a bill passed the Senate en
titled, * An afl to prevent fraud at elec
tionsy'’ and was Jent #o the federal House
of Assembly for their concurrence. - Al
though #s adcption was urged by the re
publican riembers of the House, the federal
majority refufed to all wpen it. The
Senate, anxjousto secure the eleclive fran
chife as far as possible agairfi corruption,
and that this bill should become a law,
‘after having waited 12 days without its
bejng alted upon by the House, sent a mes-
Jage requefiing to be informed. what pro
gress the Houle bad made on the bill—
when they received for anfwery that the
House Ji'{med it expedient 1o pifipone the
