abundance Of patrons, not Tor the sake
of rewarding merit, but to shew res
pect to uumerited prosperity or acct
dental success, it presents 60 our view
the most discouraging difficulty with
which new candidates for public IA
vour generally have to encounter
at their first commencement in any
profession. But, convinced that little
reputation is deserved, or can be ac-
luired where no hazard or obstacles
are to be c0Dbated, we will, regard
less Of such considerations, repair TO
the task Which we have assigned to
on self.
Sh0nid we meet with the favour Of
the pnblic, we entertain the pleasing
hope that We will acquit ourself TO the,
satisfaction OF our patrons, ard tba.
they viii hare'no cause TO regret tho
confidence which they may bestcy on
us. And should ourconduct .justilythe
patronage which we may receive, it will
DC no unpleasant reflection to the libepl
al. TO have taken us by the hand when
staggering under the difficulties and
prciudicics which generally accompany
all first endeayours to be useful.
With such objects in view, with these
principles devoted TO their attainment,
born in Virginia. and descended of a
family which aided TO achieve the A.
merican independence, we otferour SER
vices to our country and claim its ia
vour. We Offer them i'm that temple
OF liberty which the arm CT our father
contributed to raise we will take our
stand in its vcstibule, and defend it from
foreign and domestic pollution.
These are the sentiments which ami
mated those revolutionary heroes who
fought under tie banners andfe in the
battles OF liberty. If these principles
be still, as dear 70 the present genera
ton as they were TO onr fathers. let us
unite once more for the preservation Of
the GREAT RIGHTS for which they fought
and bled, and which their last dyin.
words injoined us TO defend and perpet-
uate to p0steiity.

Col. Davisss with more than mortal DOW
er resisted the shock and endeavoured by
his unparalleled courage and presence of
mind to form his troops. With comparative
ly few chosen heroes, he charged the thick
array of savage numbers. But courage and
conduct in this pre-eminent son of Kentucky,
could not avail while the darkness of the
night shrouded the tawny SONS Of the wood
and forest of savage tomahawks and rifles
were dealing death around. In discharging
his fire arms which proved fatal to the sa-
wage arm just raised to shed his blood, ne
received in his breast three fatal balls and
when he was told an hour after, the enemy
had been beaten, he said, 81 have done my
duty, ! am satisfied, my country is victori-
