Political Miscellany.
From the National Intelligencer.
DIALOGUE BETWEEN FRANKLIN AND WASHINGTON.
Franklin. What makes you my friend so melancholy?
Washington. The events now passing in that scene in which we lately bore a part. When I behold the instrument given to virtue for its defence drawn in the cause of vice, and see the blood of the innocent flowing in so copious a stream, my mind is filled with gloomy thoughts and I am almost tempted to question the wisdom of that Providence that presides over the affairs of men.
Franklin. It is a gloomy picture, and I am not surprised at its effects on your feelings. True heroism and beneficence are ever pacific; and whether these sentiments animate the philosopher in his closet, or the general at the head of his army, their power is equally irresistible, and their effects the same. But civil tyranny and religious bigotry are the deadliest scourges of the human race. Kings are always tyrants, and superstition their invariable supports. Amidst, however, the rage of the passions, do you not contemplate with satisfaction yonder spot, in which animation reigns without warfare, and where the happiness of no man is built upon the misery of a brother.
Washington. Yes, my heart derives its life blood from contemplating the scene. That was once our country. It is still my country. My eye dwells on it by day, and I dream of it at night. You know that while living its glory was our idol; and now I call heaven to witness its happiness is the most precious ingredient of my enjoyment. Franklin, it is to you, more than to any other, that America owes the acquisition, and still more the preservation of her glory.
Franklin. Say not so. Your sword cut the gordian knot of slavery. Your sword achieved
Washington. What you planned.
Franklin. Generous soul! Let us share the merit, not to the exclusion of many others of our countrymen, but with them. It is true that long before the era of her independence I thought, deeply thought, that the acorn must become an oak. I saw the soil was kindly; I perceived that the seed was sown, that it had taken root, and all that I feared was that some unrefining mortal would disturb the earth too soon, and extinguish its germinating power. Great works require time, and I was afraid that intemperance by denying this necessary help-mate would blast the fair prospect of a good harvest. But our countrymen proved wise; they waited till the proper season; they made their choice, and their valour won the day. They alone, are free, and they only are happy.
Washington. But will they remain so? I reflect on their present enviable situation until my brain almost grows giddy with delight; but often I start as from a trance and ask myself whether the next moment they may not sink as low as those that surround them.
Franklin. No, that can never be, America can never fall to the degradation of Europe; though Europe may and will rise to her level.
Washington. Yet there are the same baneful passions, the same forlorn interests, the same ambitious men there, as elsewhere.
Franklin. True, but there is no where else the same people.
Washington. There are men who avow their hostility to republican principles.
Franklin. But the people scorn them.
Washington. There are the advocates of war and carnage.
Franklin. Whom the people look upon as madmen or knaves.
Washington. There is a host of men who calumniate the fairest characters and the greatest men.
Franklin. The adamant of whose fame blunts the arrows of slander, which fall pointless to the ground.
Washington. These wretches dare to enlist my name into their service; as if I were not a genuine republican, and the decided friend of a pacific course, or as if I could ever debate myself by sanctioning the atrocious falsehoods which party malice alone could propagate.
Franklin. This effrontery has often grieved me, for I feel as jealous of your reputation as of my own. But calumny, even against myself, has long since ceased to trouble me. I lived to a good old age. During the whole of my life my greatest ambition was to be useful to my fellow men. And I may boldly say that I never did a public act not dictated by virtuous motives. Still it is equally true that I neither did, or attempted any thing of importance for which I was not rewarded. Calumny is the natural offspring of meanness, envy and damnation. It is through its polluted channel that blasted ambition pursues its revenge. Tho' not
insensible to the comforts of life, God knows that I felt little value on affluence. And yet I have been charged with speculation.
Washington. And infamy has covered those who made the charge.
Franklin. And infamy will cover those whose envenomed pens are now busy in traducing the most illustrious characters. Jefferson who was exiled in liberty, will live to see his calumniators covered with universal contempt.
Washington. That man has risen beyond my highest hopes. And what is more, were it possible to assign him a higher station, he richly deserves it. Happy the country that has such a chief magistrate, and still happier the nation that is worthy of him.
Franklin. The American horizon is not altogether without clouds; and the present sun shine may not be without intermissions. But take my word for it, this man, whom I sometimes, perhaps vainly, take pleasure in considering as my pupil, will long be a friend in every peril. Power has not corrupted nor can it corrupt him. Its only effect is to animate and expand his native benevolence; to make him more active, and the instrument of more extensive good to his fellow men.
Washington. Yes, his character shines with a pure and steady lustre. He has promised nothing which he has not performed, while he has performed much which he never promised: That such a man should be deluged with obloquy.
Franklin. Is a proof of his eminence. But I can administer to you some consolation on this point. I know him well: and I know that the calumny of his enemies gives him little pain, and that the strongest sentiment it excites is pity for those that revile him.
If it were possible for federalists to renounce their principles, and cease their hostility to republicanism when reason and argument proved it to be a duty, and when candor and common honesty demanded such a procedure, there would be some inducement for republicans to exhibit to them the wretched iniquity of their cause—there would be some encouragement to investigate the politics of both parties, and display in intelligible characters, the superior merits of republicanism over that of federalism. But when they lock themselves up against every approach of reason—when evidence and argument tend only to inflame the inrasibility of their passions—and when enquiry into their conduct is but a forerunner of the thunders of their fury, then in respect to them, the pen, faulters without a chance for an equivalent for the labour. But we have the consolation left, there are other men with whom reason will have its due weight, and with whom justice will predominate: and thank heaven, a vast majority of the people are of this description.
It is lamentable that men in society are often convinced of the impropriety of their conduct, and the fallacy of theories and projects, without ever abandoning the one, or exploding the other. For instance, the drunkard, who revels in inebriety, and whose shame is as conspicuous as the light of day, when the sun has reached its meridian height, in the sober moments of reflection, often perceives, the iniquity of his conduct, without abandoning the vice, or even making a struggle at reformation. And may not the conduct of many of the leading federalists, in a political sense, be compared to him? Has not reason, has not experience showed to them the upright policy of their opponents? Yet they are as maliciously disposed towards republicanism as ever. Have not solid reasoning and substantial evidence, clearly refuted every slanderous tale suggested against the public or private characters of our rulers? Yet these men continue the objects of wanton abuse, and criminal levity. Does not daily observation, does not the united felicity of the people, unequivocally pronounce their superior happiness under the present administration of government? Look at our social and friendly intercourse one with another; look at our retrenched expenses; look at the justice and equity of our courts of law; look at the magnanimity and wisdom of our legislators; and look at the happiness which gladdens the heart of every individual, and all will emphatically answer the question in the affirmative.
[Newark Centinel.]
The federalists attempt to depreciate the talents of the Hon. Mr. BIDDLE, or they cannot succeed. An abler, or a more worthy gentleman, we presume, could not be selected to represent the citizens of Massachusetts in Congress. They well know this, and therefore fear his influence. His inflexibility as a republican, his correctness, as a scholar, his deep penetration and promptness in exposing the enemies of the State are what his opponents fear and dread in him.

Foreign Articles.
LONDON, Sept. 17. A letter from an officer belonging to Ad. Rous's fleet at the Texel, dated Sept. 8, states that his ships began on Saturday to move from that place; they are now all at sea, and have marched into the interior of the Texel.
The fleet before Brest under Admiral Cornwallis, is composed of 23 sail of the line.
The duties arising from the arrival of the latest arrived East India fleet, are calculated to amount to nearly four millions sterling.
A new league of Armed Neutrality was on the point of being established to include Denmark, Prussia, and some of the German Princes.
PARIS, Sept. 3.
Gen. Murat has proceeded to Berlin on an important mission; and Marshal Lannes is gone to Vienna. It is hoped war may yet be avoided.
198,000 French troops are to be called on the Rhine, to be called the Grand Army—to be commanded by the Emperor in person, and to consist of 7 divisions, each of which is to be under a Marshal of the Empire.
Sept. 10. Jerome Bonaparte has returned to Genoa with his squadron. He has been at Algiers, and demanded the release of all the French and Italian prisoners. The Dey endeavoured to protract the business, but the young Commander insisted on the surrender of the prisoners or the termination of all negotiation in 24 hours; within which, the Dey complied with his demands and gave up 236 prisoners, which were conveyed in safety to Genoa.
VIENNA, Aug. 15.
They withdraw from Milan, the 20th of July as follows:
The French troops in Italy have been in constant motion for this month past; and they assemble in great numbers on the Austrian frontier, especially on the river of Chiese, where, near Mount Choro, an army of 30,000 men, are already assembled; the destination of which is not yet known.
The fortifications of Turin and Mantua are also placed in the strongest state of defence.
AUG. 17. Switzerland demands the protection of Austria; and has sent deputies to Vienna, for that purpose; but no answer has been given them.
Generals Saurau and Welfenwolf have proceeded to Gallicia to guide the march of the Russian troops.
AUG. 18. The troops destined for the camp of Baquoin, are on their march—to which the regiments in Bohemia are to be joined. Three other camps are forming, one near Glatz, another near Luxemburg, and a third near Lutzen.
AUG. 28. The French Minister still remains here, therefore there yet seems a possibility of the continuance of peace.
MUNICH, (Bavaria) Aug. 15.
A general uneasiness pervades the public mind. The armaments of Austria are a sufficient proof that she is determined on war, and the immense bodies of troops which she is marching to the Inn, indicate an intention on her part to take possession of Bavaria, as the first operation. The Austrian minister has intimated that the measure would take place. In consequence many persons expect every moment to see the Austrians marching against Munich; and the Elector of Bavaria finds himself constrained to take measures of precaution for his States, and his personal safety.
RATISBON, Aug. 20.
General confederation prevails here—The Russian troops are laid to be on their march towards Hungary & Bohemia, menacing us as much as France. They inspire confidence in the Russians, whose troops are about invading Bavaria, and even Switzerland. All these movements announce that southern Germany approaches to the greatest misfortune.
EARTHQUAKES.
NAPLES, JULY 31.
The following are some fresh details relative to the earthquake which has desolated this capital, and a great part of the kingdom.
In the morning of the 6th we experienced a heat much greater than the preceding days—About six in the evening a north west wind arose, bringing with it some thick clouds, which threatened a storm, but which insensibly dispersed. At half past eight the wind began to blow from the north, which is called in Naples a land wind, and which is cold and dry in the winter and hot in summer. It was on that day much colder than usual, and continued for about an hour. At three quarters past nine, the sea, which had been extremely tranquil during the day, began to be disturbed. Several persons who were bathing felt the earth fall them under their feet, and the fish mounted to the surface of the water, and appeared agitated in an extraordinary manner.
At length, at three minutes before ten, a shock of an earthquake was felt, at first with a slight trembling and afterwards with a strong undulation, in a direction from north to south, and which lasted from 45 to 60 seconds. At 11 there was another shock, but weaker; and at three quarters past 12, a third, still lighter. The sky was perfectly serene, but on the surface of the earth there was a sort of a fog, from which emanated a strong smell of sulphur. From the summit of Vesuvius an immense and very thick column of smoke arose, and between the first and second shocks two explosions were heard, similar to those preceding volcanic eruptions, but weaker. The first shock shook all the bells, which rang spontaneously. All the clocks and dials in the city, as well public as private, stopped at three minutes
before 10, the precise moment of the first shock.
We have not received any news from Calabria or Sicily. The damage done at Capua is happily less than was stated; 20 soldiers perished under the ruins of the barracks of Santa Maria; several horses were also killed. In the province of Salerno, and in the three provinces of La Pouille, the shocks was much lighter; but in the county of Molise, the damage done is very considerable. The town of Iserno is entirely destroyed. From the official reports of the Governor, who arrived here yesterday, it appears that more than 1000 bodies have been already dug from the ruins, and the search is continuing.
Iserno contained about 7000 inhabitants, a sixth part of whom are supposed to have perished. Campobasso, Bassoanello, Loppizuto, Pierabondante, Macchia, and some other small places in the county of Molise, are also nearly destroyed. It is supposed that 20,000 persons have perished in these different places. Great damage was also done at Piedmonte di Alife, Casazzo, Cafetta, Santa Maria, Capue, and Roccaromana, but no one was killed.
From an observation of the places where damage has been done, it appears that the earthquake took a direction from sea to land, in a line which might be drawn from the Crater of Vesuvius to that of Pozzuoli. It is feared that great damage has been done at Briano, the ancient capital of the Samnites which has already been several times destroyed by the same misfortune.
As to the city of Naples the registers of the police only state the number of deaths to be four; that of wounded is inconsiderable—a circumstance which is almost a miracle in the midst of so many ruins and so much tumult among the inhabitants. The Queen, the Princesses, and Prince Leopold after the first shock, took refuge in the King's stables, and passed the night in different carriages—The King who was at Portici did the same thing. The Hereditary Prince Royal, and the Princesses, were at Caserta, and experienced no accident. More than two hundred houses have been rendered uninhabitable, and these the most solidly built, as if nature had taken pleasure in triumphing over the efforts of art.
It is observable, that the buildings which have suffered least are those which are elevated upon arches. But even in those which have suffered least, there is not a beam that remains in its situation. It is however, a great consolation, that in the midst of such great disorder, thanks to the astonishing activity of the Police, there were no other evils than those which arose from the earthquake.
BY THE LAST MAILS.
RICHMOND, (VIRG.) Oct. 26.
Duel!—The meeting between Dr. William Upshaw and Skelton Jones, Esq. both of this city, is stated to have taken place last evening, on the Maryland shore. They were prevented by the wind from crossing the Potomac sooner. They fought at 3 yards distance. Mr. Jones is said to have been wounded in the upper part of the head. The ball, after having entered the forehead, discharged itself from the back part of the head. Whether it penetrated the skull or merely glanced along the bone, our informant is unable to say. The wound is not supposed to be mortal. Dr. Upshaw escaped without any injury. They are both duelists—Mr. Jones having killed his man 3 or 4 years since.
To the Editor of the Virginia Argus.
SIR, Permit me to correct an inaccurate statement which appeared in the Enquirer of yesterday, relative to the Duel between Skelton Jones and William Upshaw. They met as stated in the Enquirer: one of the preliminaries to firing was, that each should elevate his pistol until the word was given, so as to prevent injury by accidental discharge. Lieut. Read was Jones' second, and was to give the word. While he was engaged in making some arrangements, he heard the report of a pistol, and on turning around, discovered that his friend had fallen. Lieut. Read would have shot Upshaw upon the spot—but he continued to excuse himself, by exclaiming—it was an accident! an accident! Jones is in a fair way to recover from this accidental wound.
MERIWETHER JONES.
P.S. The distance at which the parties stood is inaccurately stated in the Enquirer. It was three feet instead of three yards.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
In consequence of a serious attention to religion in the town of Granville in the state of New-York, a general meeting of the neighbouring clergy and people was lately invited to be holden there.
On this occasion a large concourse of people assembled in a convenient grove, where a flag was erected for the clergy, and from which they addressed thousands of their fellow mortals on the great concerns of eternity. The exercises commenced with an introductory address, stating the objects of the meeting, impressing the minds of the listening multitude with the solemnity of the occasion and by invoking the divine presence and blessing, they were continued by preaching,
exhorting and prayer, interspersed with songs of praise, with proper intermission, for 2 days successively; the great important truths of the gospel which were unfolded, the zeal and ardor of the ministers of religion for the salvation of immortal souls, and serious attention of the crowded multitude, exhibited a scene highly solemn and interesting. No person could be a stranger there, unless he was peculiarly hardened, and lost to all the solemnities of eternity. The utmost decorum, prevailed throughout the whole exercises: and the great assembly, collected under the canopy of heaven appeared to consider themselves in the awful presence of him that fills immensity. At the conclusion nearly 20 people were baptised; between forty and fifty entered publicly into covenant with God, and were added to the church, and the holy communion was celebrated. It was computed that about one thousand persons from different churches sat down together, and commemorated the death of their exalted Lord.
Thus the sovereign arbiter of the universe is remarkably accomplishing his promises, and rejoicing the hearts of the people, in causing "the wilderness to blossom as the rose," and the desert to rejoice and be glad. In the very place where a little while ago, nothing was heard, but the shrieks of barbarous savages, are now resounding the tidings of everlasting salvation. And the ransomed of the Lord are returning, and coming to Zion, with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads, and are obtaining joy and gladness; and sighing and sorrow are fleeing away.
BOSTON, Nov. 9.
Condemnation of the Ship Indus.
THE undersigned, David Myrick, late master of the ship Indus of Boston, gives the following statement:—That he was captured off Bermuda, on his passage from the Isle of France to Boston, on the 10th of August last, by John P. Beresford, commanding his Britannic Majesty's ship Cambrian, and ordered for Halifax—where the ship, cargo, and the private adventures of the supercargo and master, were condemned on the 9th of Oct. The neutrality of the property was not questioned, for it clearly appeared to the Court that both ship and cargo belonged solely to citizens of Boston—but it was urged, that it was contemplated to send the vessel and cargo to Embden after her arrival in Boston, in consequence of directions given to the master when he left Boston, in June, 1804, to report on his arrival for Boston and Embden, (a NEUTRAL PLACE!) which he understood was a precautionary measure, adopted by his owners to secure the option either of sending the cargo immediately to Europe, provided peace had taken place during the voyage from India to Boston, or to sell or re-ship, as might be for their interest, after arriving in Boston. The words of the owners I think are these—"and after you arrive within the Light house of Boston, you may add the words, "and I understand" to your manifest, as this will not deprive us of the privilege of wholly unloading in Boston;" and this recommendation of the owners applied to ANOTHER SHIP of the same name, which was condemned at the Isle of France, and not the one carried into Halifax, as appeared in Court on trial. It was unknown to the subscriber when he left America, that a Halifax Judge had any jurisdiction in the harbor of Boston, or that his owners could suffer for their intention; for nothing was done or intended to be done, which the Judge has taken on himself to consider criminal, until the ship should arrive in the harbor of Boston, for no such manifest was ever made out, the bill of lading, invoice, and clearances were all for Boston, where the ship was actually bound when captured, as the captors acknowledged; yet the Judge off hand condemned both the ship and cargo, together with the supercargo's and my own adventure, as property belonging to the enemies of Great Britain, and as such, or otherwise, a good prize to the Cambrian, because, he said, the owners in June, 1804, must have contemplated sending the property to Europe after it had arrived at Boston.
The crew of the Indus were turned on shore, destitute of the means of support and without the advantage of the provision made for prisoners of war, with the exception of one man, Isaac Dix, a native of Virginia, who remains detained on board, the frigate, and whose release, notwithstanding several applications to Admiral Mitchell, I was unable to procure.
The cruisers were all on the alert in consequence of this condemnation, and we may speedily expect to hear of important captures. D. MYRICK.
The United States brig Hornet, Lt Chauncy, has arrived at New-York. She is nearly 300 tons, is calculated to mount 18 forty-eight lb. carronades, and is said to be the fastest sailer in our Navy.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1805.
SOCIETY APPEARANCES. It is stated in a letter from Baltimore to a gentleman in Norfolk, that Mr. Monroe, our Minister at London, has, in his dispatches to the Government of the United States, recommended an immediate declaration of war against Spain.
It is reported in this city, (says the Richmond Vir. Enquirer,) that the Spanish Minister, the Marquis d'Yrujo, having determined to leave the United States, has demanded his passports from our Government. The report adds, that the President observed in reply, that we had no such etiquette in this country, and that it was in the power of a foreign minister to quit the United States when and how he pleased. A report so important in itself, since it may be regarded as an ominous sign of an approaching rupture, between the two countries, we shall take the earliest opportunity to contradict or confirm.
By a valued friend from New Orleans, we have been favored with files of the different papers of that country, down to the 18th September. They speak a strong language with respect to the conduct of Spain towards the United States, and declare their opinion that she ought immediately to be chastised for her insolence and duplicity. While they call for the most energetic measures from our Government, to resent the past, and repel the future hostility of Spain—they repose with confidence on the wisdom, vigor and patriotism of the national administration.
The "Louisiana Gazette" after combating in a masterly manner the opinion that Louisiana will ere long separate itself from the United States, thus concludes the subject—"We will venture to predict, that sooner will the Mississippi cease to flow, and the rocky mountains to exist, than Louisiana pass from under the dominion of law, or be detached from the American Republic, without a struggle that will throw the universe into commotion, and shake the earth to its centre!" (Trenton's True American.)
The Cambrian British frigate, cruising off the Hook, boards all vessels from foreign ports entering New-York harbour. Those from French ports which are suspected of having French property on board, are sent to Halifax for examination.
The system of piracy pursued on the sea by the great powers, to relieve those they cannot honourably pay, reminds us of the violence with which the opposition seize every thing which can belong to the reputation and hopes of the friends of our Government. These depredations are found every where. And the opposition claim the same right to dispose of every thing belonging to the Republicans, as the English to dispose of neutral property. Nothing stands in the way of their convenience, and every thing must submit to their necessities. At some future day when settlement is made, some treaty is to quiet the whole matter. And the hope to ca-jole, makes them content to be found in all mischief without blushing. But supposing such a treaty should never be signed, how then is settlement to be made? (Sal. Reg.)
COMMUNICATION. On Wednesday the 23d October, the twenty-ninth regiment of militia, under the command of colonel W. Taylor, was reviewed and inspected at Meredith Hill, near Sanbornton. The company of cavalry under the command of Mr. S. Gale, the Artillery Company under the command of captain J. A. Harper, and the Light Infantry Companies, under the command of captains W. Colby, and W. Davis, jun. were in handsome and complete uniform.
The other companies composing the regiment, were principally equipped and uniformed. It was particularly noticed that the fourth and ninth companies under the command of Lieut. J. Lanz, and captain S. Page, were nearly or quite all dressed in handsome uniform.
It was judged, from the appearance of the Regiment, and the correctness of its exercise and discipline—that it is second to none in the State.
The Mechanic Association formed not long since in this town, is increasing rapidly. This respectable and numerous body, held their annual meeting on Thursday evening last, at the chamber of the Brick School House, and made an unanimous choice of the following officers for the current year, viz.
TOBIAS WALKER, President. JAMES HILL, Vice President. JOHN MARCH, Treasurer. Walter Akerman, Joseph Akerman, James Day, Nath'l Melcher jr. Luke M. Leighton, and Benjamin F. Dyer, Trustees.

A MOTHER'S ADDRESS TO HER DYING INFANT.  TENDER, fond Infant mild! Perfect, sweetest, loveliest Child! Transient lustre! beauteous Clay! Smiling number of a day Ere the last consulsive start Rends thy unresisting heart, Ere the long enduring frown Weighs thy precious eye lids down; Ah! regard a Mother's mean, Anxious sharper than thy own; Fairer eye, whose dawning light Lays with rapture fill'd my sight, Ere thy orbs extinguish'd be, Bend their trembling beams on me, Drooping Sweetness! verdant Flower, Blooming, withering in an hour! Ere the gentle breast sustains Latest, fiercest, mortal pains; Here a suppliant, let me be, Partner in thy destiny.
AN EPISTLE TO BACHELORS. Take unto thyself a wife, and obey the ordinance of God; take unto thyself a wife, and become a faithful member of society. — But examine what care and fix not sudden- ly: — on thy present choice depends the fu- ture happiness of thee and thy posterity. If much of her time is destroyed in dress and ornaments; if she is enamored with her own beauty, and delights with her own praise; if she boasts much and talketh loud; if her feet abide not in her father's house, and her eyes with holdens rove on the faces of men, though her beauty were as the Sun in the firmament of Heaven, turn thy face from her charms, turn thy feet from her paths, and suffer not thy soul to be ensnared by the allurements of thy imagi- nation. But when thou findst sensibility of heart, joined with loftiness of manners; an accom- plished mind, with a form agreeable to thy fancy; take her home to thy house, she is worthy to be thy friend, thy companion in life, the wife of thy bosom. O cherish her as a blessing from thee from Heaven; let the kindness of thy behavior endear thee to her heart. She is the mistress of thy house; treat her, therefore, with respect, that thy serv- ants may obey her. Oppose not her inclinations without cause; she is the partner of thy cares, make her also the companion of thy pleasures. Reprove her faults with gentleness, exact not her obedience with rigor. Trust thy secrets in her breast, her coun- sels are sincere, thou shalt not be deceived. Be faithful to her bed; for she is the mother of thy children. When pain and sickness assault her, let thy tenderness sooth her affliction; a look from thee, of pity and love, shall alleviate her grief, or mitigate her pain; and be of more avail than ten physicians. Consider the delicacy of her sex, the ten- derness of her frame; and be not severe to her weaknesses, but remember thine own im- perfections."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Georgia, to his friend in Newark, dated July, 1805.  "While on this subject (the impor- tation of negroes) I will relate an af- fecting anecdote, which came to my knowledge yesterday. My neighbor Mr. B. had purchased 20 of that un- fortunate race a few weeks ago in Charleston, among whom was a wo- man about 20 years of age. On the way home they stopped to pass the night at a house on the road, just as the negroes belonging to the owner of the place were returning from their labour in the field. One of them proved to be the husband of the wo- man. They had been torn asunder two years before in Africa. They met in this distant clime, and with such emotions of joy, mixed with bit- terness and grief, on the recollection of their past and present condition, as may be more easily conceived than de- scribed. — They flew to each other! asked an hundred eager questions, and looking at the spectators, who sympa- thized in their feelings, declared they would never more be parted. Mr. B. who is a man of humanity, was pres- ent at the affecting scene. He imme- diately offered the owner of the hus- band to sell the wife, or to purchase the husband, but in vain! He then offered two negroes for the man, but the wretch would do neither. The momentary pleasure, the poor crea- tures experienced when Mr. B. was endeavouring to prevent their being again separated, was converted into frantic agony, when they saw nothing would avail. All who were present, black and white, united in entreaties, and every eye but the miscreant own- er of the husband was in tears. No- thing would soften his obdurate heart; and the unhappy victims of his cruel- ty, were a second time literally torn asunder."
ANECDOE J. — Not long since, an English Emigrant was in a public house in Portland, and hearing the incessant croaking of amphibious ani- mals (which is common in warm sea- sons) observed, "They have no such croaking of frogs in England." "And a good reason for it (answered a bystander) you have Gag-Law- thers, which are enough to frighten any frog to silence!" (East-Argus.)
