He had passed the night between violent tumul-
tuous grief and numb insensiblty Stepping into
the carriage with slow weak motion, like one who
was quitting his sick chamber for the first time he
began his journey homeward. As he lifted his ewes
upwards, the few stars that were here and there
over the sky, seemed to look down in pity, and
shed religious and healing light about him. But
they soon went out one after another; and as the
last faded from his mporng sight, it was as if eve

As lie passed through the village, there was feel

He entered the chamber with deep and still
awe upon him, and he drew near his mothers
bedside, and looked on her pale, placid, and mo-
tonless face, he scarcely dared breathe lest he
should disturb the secret communion that the soul
was holding with the world into which it was about
to enter The loss that he was about suffering and
his heavy grief we're all forgotten in the feeling Of

characterized his first publication, which had not been

The only motives which induced me o appear in the
Waterman at first where to shield innocent from
the base calumny of "Pencader, who with spirit more
vile than that of midnight assassin has attempted to per
secute the gentleman alluded to merely because ne IS

honesty. And with regard to the challenge which he has

It appears TO be the order of The day at Washington,
among the partizans of Mr. Crawford to insult and bully
the President Of the United States The Georgia delega

The ordy and dctat0ria style of master to his vassa aud
he object of which is compel him, in violation of right
and humanity, drive unfortunate Indians from their
lands which lie within the limits of Georgia. Mr. Walter
Lowre, Senator from Pennsy vania having first divuged,
and there is every to believe, msrepresened
confidential conversation with the President undertakes to
him with the disclosure of private letter which
according his of the matter. would seem TO
have been stolen from the Presidents files. In the House
of Representatives too, find the tone of insult,
seasoned with small portion Of scurry, maintained by
the friends of MIR Crawford The speeches OF Mr.. Foy
and Mr. Forsyth the memorial at Mi. Edwards, on
Monday last, would disgrace the most violent days ofpay
rancour All this violence, these course and vulgar ebu
tons, indicate losing game the part of the actors in
the drama. Mr. Monroe, who has had abeter oppOrtun
y than any other in the nation of knowing the fitness
Of Mr. Crawford for the Presidency, does not,
consider him qualified for that high office Hence the
pangs and hroes of his friends and hence too, the yupe
ration which has been heaped upon the Chief Magistrate
and through him, upon the people Of the United States
whose representative he is We much mistaken in the
character and spirit of the American people, if this
precedented course tend to the of MIR
Crawford. Mr.. NIonoes administration is deservedly
popusr-and convinced that if this course, in
sulng to the Chief Magistrate and degrading to the
tion be persevcred in the people will rally round the gov
