hung heavily around her heart. Her declining head,

struck the strings of sympathy and correspondent

may come and dare not sketch the picture his fan

she hears the account of a wedding, soft thrill
vibrating like the treble chord of piano, through
every nerve Of her susceptible frame. Her bosom
throbs quicker, she breathes with hurried resp

most eloquently of the days gone by.-Meanwhile,

that he preferred it should come from the other

mails.
81 will take leave also, Sir before conclude, TO
suggest one other mode, by which the aid of The
general government may be given to Internal Ime
prorements, which is, it appears to me- entirely un-
susceptible Of any objection on the score Of power
or right; and that is, by loan of money ON inter,
est, or by the purchase Of stock in companies in
Icorporated under the authority Of one or more
states. We have certainly the right of manag-
ing our own funds, in financial point OF view, in
any manner we may think best, and it surely can
not be unwise so 10 manage them,as etfectually
to contribute to the happiness and prosperity Of the
people. No one can deny our power to purchase
and hold stock we have purchased Bank Stock,
and at this moment hold it to large amount. If we
can purchase Banh Stock, there is nothing to pre-
vent purchase of Canal or Road stock Ancs
IT the value Of such stock should not at all times be
equal 10 that of the Bank, the deficiency would be
more than made up by the advantages, which, in
other respects, would be produced by the invest
ment.
1t might lie commended with great propriety, that
this would be the most wise and prudent appIica~
ton OF the national resources to the Internal Inn
provements OF the country. | am, myself, of the
oPih'oh' ~ Wouiu NC the iloSI economical III SuCt6
should become the policy of the government, it
would soon be aided by individual enterprise, and
the local governments. may already point gen
emen to one OF the greatest national objects which
can be presented TO the notice of rhis government;
mean the Chesapeake and DelaUare Canal, which
passes, in part, through my own state, and to which,
therefore, may feel some Partially. This canal,
destined to unite the waters of the Delaware and
Chesapeake bays, is the principal link in that great
chain Of internal communication between the ex.
teme points of our Atlantic frontier, so essential
to all the commercial and military operations of the
country. company for the accomplishment Of
this work has already been incorporated, by the
States Of Pennsylvania, DelaUare, and maryland.
The purchase of stock by the United States, to
reasonable amount, would insure the completion
OF the work, after which the interest of the gov
eminent might readily be disposed of at little il
any loss, and the proceeds employed in the same
way to the aid OF some other enterprise of great
national interest. There would be state rights
invaded by such an operation, butt on the contrary
The great interests of this community would be es-
sentlay promoted, and the national resour ces aug
mented beyond the power Of aeulation.'

Yesterday evening a melancholy ciycum-
stance occurred here. a Danish gentleman
named Gardiner, received information that
his wife, "A beautiful Young woman OF twcntt !
years of age, had formed an improper con-
nccton with Young Englishman or German
OF good appearance, and respcctability, and
he therefore made arrangements for pocecd-
ing TO Copenhagen, in order to place thu lady
in charge OF her mother. He was to sail on
the 9th inst. and the loS or had also taken his
passage for Puerto Cavcllo Every thing WAS
settled, and nothing remarkable occurred till
yesterday evening, when the wife of Gardn-
CT took advantage OF his being occupied in
dressing at four O'Clock, left his house ana
proceeded to that OF the Young man, which
adiCincd her husbands. On cntc ring she
locked the door, and Immediately afterward,
two shots were hcard.-Thc people of the
house forced open the door anl discovered

to her husband, confcssit.s her iniidclty
commencing and tles string him TO marry
woman mere worthy Of Inn, and more cap,t
bic Of rcwarding his virtues. This is tn,
more probable, as the young nl,.n had mani
