large maiorites, the committee rose, and reported

On Friday, 29th, the convention took up The

whole. The same speakers who had the day pre-

time was consumed. The question was finally ia

Georgia and the Creeks.-We lay before the
reader the correspondence between Gov Troup
and Gen. Gaines; and between the former and the
War Department. From this correspondence il
seems that it is no longer a controversy between
Georgia or the u. States and the Indians; but be-
tween the u. States government and Georgia.
Hence its importance is greatly increased. The
decided language held by the two governments
must awaken the solicitude, if not alarm the fears
OF every friend of this Union.
To understand the merits of the dispute flor
such it has become) it may be proper give blief
history OF the circumstances out Of which il has

error unintentionally, by defective information

rich and aourisbng state Of alabama. Georgia,
with the double object of getting rid ofthese trouble

occupied, entered into schema compact with the

In ancient times the valley of Linlithglen was the
residence of many individuals, some of whom rank
ed among the flowers of Scottish nobility. 1t was
situated near the borders of Scotland, and from its
vicinity, or rather, it should be said, from its open
ness to the attacks and pages of the Border RI
ders, who in those days were numerous and bold,
the castles of such mobiles were strongly built, and
fortified in manner which would effectually secure
them from enemies Of any character-one cas-
tie in particular, seemed admirably calculated to
withstand the shock of battles severer than those in
which Banditti would be likely to engage. 1t stood
on an cmnence surrounded by meats, and guarded
at all points, in manner which gave it more the
appearance of military garrison than the residence
of the ancient Lards of Linlithglen the last of
which noble clan, Malcolm Dhu Linlth there re.

Laird was then far advanced in years. but his vigo-

house.
That evening Edward Ashton and Mary Stuart
walked up the wild and lonely Glenure and before
they reached home, there was clear moon to light
them through the fragrant birch-woods. Her heart
was given up entirely, with all its calm, pure, and
innocent thoughts and feelings, to him who was now
her lover; it knew no disguise, nor had it one sin
gle emotion to veil or to conceal. No passion ag-

he folded her to his heart as they mutually pledged

kisses that then touched her eyes and cheek thrilled
with unutterable happiness thro' her innocent and
virgin heart. But dear to her as he then was, she

evening, when nature was smiling in the bright
youthfulness of spring, that Blanche, taking her
customed rambe through of the groves of her
native vale, stopped to Gull nosegay for her rever
ed parent, from the wild but beautiful flowers that
surrounded her. While thus engaged, she was in
some degree alarmed by hearing voice exclam,
" And this is the beauty of the valley The Heiress
of Linlithglen ," Starting with mingled terror and
surprise, the maiden turned in the direction whence
the voice proceeded, and behed woman gazing
upon her with fixed attention. She was above the

To the memory Of G. T. PERRY, Of Charlie
County, -Haryland.-Br FRIEND.
Farewell dear friend, tits anguish o! to be
Thus early torn from friendship and from thee,
Just as we budded INTO youth and life
To feel the greedy hand of death full rife
Tosee his hungry eye look grimly on
That check we lov'd, and turn that cheek tc
stone
To see that form we ever held most dear,
The cold, cold tenant of the mournful bier:
o! God tits agonising thus to feel,
Lies cruel torments through our bosoms steal
o! what was memory made for, but to reign
Queen, mistress, author, of each rising pain:
All! why remembrance send me back in tears,
To dwell on joys of other happier years,
When thou, dear Perry, free from every art,
Stood first among the tenants of my heart;
But ah! it may not be-heavens awful will
Has lefta blank, that time can nevcrfill;
But yet to me, one gracious hope is given
Union of frindship, and of love in heaven.
