he exclaimed, II would divest myself Of thee, and
yet would moi spare thee from my presence
Thou art ever with me "ifI go up to Heaven thou
art there's if make my bed in hell, thou art there;
If take the wings ofthe morning, and dwell in the

Thou art my solace, thou art my poison, and until
thy mysterious history is fathomed, I am wretch
ed.
The day passed on, and still the Bishops mind
dwelt upon Maria Angelica, and he determined,
come what might, he woulI that night again resort
TO the residence of the Mysterious Visitors.
II was near sunset, when the Bishop, embarked
on board ofhis shalop to cross the bay, and as he
unmoored the frail barque, Dorotha, who assisted
him, importuned him not to venture on the bosom
Of the deep at that late hour, lest night should
owe, take him, and prevent his returning But un-
dismsyed he loosed the shallops sails to the breeze
and hastily glided across the waters Of the Nara
ganset. The sun had just receded beyond the
western hills when he reached the shore, where he
expected to meet of the mysterious family,
if not the first object of his voyage, the beautiful
and artless Maria Angelica. Having secured his
shalop to the strand, the Bishop wandered through
the brake bya by-path, which led to the abiding
place of the Visitors, but ere he had reached the
spot, the smoke of the habitation told but too plain
ly, that they had departed, he knew not whittier,
and at the moment of their dislodgement rs if de-
ermned trace should be left to tell their history,
had consgn ed their lonely retreat to the devouring
element. On reaching the .pot, the Bishop, antic-
pations were fully verified, and he found place,
which in taste and neatness, We'd with the cottages
delineated by the most fancful writers and novel
lists, smoking in its ruins.
All wa. as silent as tho dominions ofthe grave,
save when the notes Of the whip-poor-will oil tho
yelpinss of the wolf broke upon the night, and burst
assunder the chains Of almost intermnable silence.
The cottage, the neatly wrought hedge, the sim
pie sanctuary bearing thecross, which the Visitors
had eracted for the worship of the Almighty, were
all tumbled into one heap Of ruin and that retreat,
which but the night before, contained much to in
terest and excite the admratior of the beholder,
now presented one common scene OF desolation,
For moment the Bishop gazcd intently upon
the scene, and then recovering from the feelings
it had excited, regretted that he had ever
visited the Mysterious Visitors. "IG' said the
venerable man. 81 had not too prccipiately visited
this place of rest for the prosecuted and distressed
it still would have presented IFS beauty and simp-
city, but as incautousy obtruded myself on spot
so sacred, they who enjoyed its sweets have retired
and sacked,aud given 10 the flames an heritage,sur-
passing in simplicity, the retreat of Celistina and
Lysander. Alas, that should thus annoy them;
wretched am tha' have caused this desolation.

SENATORIAL ELEcTIoH.-Since our last, the
Hon. ASHER ROBBINS has presented to the public
[ through the several newspapers of the town. dog
ument,in which he peremptorily denies the implied
charges and allegations preferred against him by
Mr.. Porter, in his letter addressed to the Editor
of the Mcrocosm This letter, if it were rendered
necessary by the nature Of the case we should have
published at length in this paper--but as it has al
ready gained an extensive circulation, we deem it
unnecessary to do so. In reply to what has been
termed Mr.. PoTTER's charges, Mr.. ROBBINS holds
the following language: 3rs
off Mr. Potter in his letter Published in the preceding
Mcrocosm had made any specific charges against me Of
libelous nature, would have Immediately prosecuted
him for the LIBEL and if he shall make any such
i shall pursue this with respect TO him. B,f
while he confines himself to vague insinuations how is il
possible for to meet theml BY his mode of making
them he shelters himself from any legal responsibility for
his conduct deny that those insinuations have anv
foundations in fact, and this is all which l can say Of
them! How can explain what is unintellgble to nv
self Those nsnuatons much SO to me as 10 anv
one ese."
Speaking the publications of an anonymou.
writer in the Microcosm, Mr.. ROBBINS adds.
With respect to the anonymous writer's in the lac,

Col. THOMAS H. BENTON, OF Missouri

Col. THOMAS II. BENTON, OF Missouri.
| This gentleman we learn,*i' by birth North
Carolinian, where he resided number of years,
and was originally intended for Agricultural pur-
suits, but diverting hi. mind from the plough and
the reaping hook, he betook himselfto the study
OF the Law, and after the usual preparation ap-
peared at the Bar where he gave early indications
Of talents and genius. At this period, however he
somewhat deficient in education, and conse-
quently found some embarrassments to contend
with. But determined on gaining for himself a
name, he pursued regular course of study, and
eventually succeeded in acquiring,by his own indus
try, an education, which is respectable, and which
has elevated him to a standing among the first of
American statesmen; and but for his recent aposa-
thrown it is not unlikely, that he would have sue
ceeded in acquiring station, which would have
been at once, honorable and enviabe.
Soon after his appearance at the Bar, Colonel
BEHTos migrated to Tennessee, where, in little
period, he succeeded in gaining extensive prac-
tice, and muchSf the confidence ofthe people, who,
approaching his talents, bestowed upon him some
ofthe honors of the Republic. Circumst ances con-
nected with the private history of General JACK
SON. to which it would do no good to aludo at this
moment, induced him to remove to Missouri, some
where about the year 1916, and in framing the Con.
,titution ofhat State he was "a conspicuous active
and efficient member. After the admission of Mis-
souri, into the Union he was elected to the United
States Senate, which office he has ever since
filled with distinguished ability, and with much
credit to himselGan those whom he has represented
At the commencement Of Col. BENToN's public life,
he gave ample evidence Of the certainty Of his ulti-
mately arriving at post Of distinction, and those
who delegated him to important trusts, looked up
on him, as one who was destined to becomes a ia
vored son, and one who would do honor to those
who confded in his talents and abilities. But a.
the private history Of Col. BENTON Is not of so
much importance to US, is his public ifewe shall
leave the former, whilst we hastily glance at the
latter, and expose some Of the wanderings ofthe
erratic Senator
Previous to the Presidential Election, 1925,
Mr.. Benton was the warm and devoted friend of
Mr.. CLAY; he made every effort to secure his
election 10 the Presidency, and was at all times and

"GossIP."-The writer for the Monday and
Thursdays paper, is particularly fond of denounc.
ing all information from South America, to be mere
gossip if it is not derived by him, Immediately
through intelligent travellers recently from Chi
Ii or Peru. About week or two since, he pub
lished an account Of BOLIVAR {" pronounced Bolee-
var, accent on the second syllabe) in which he un-
dertook to say, that the Liberator was a man Of no
integrity, bacchanal, and enemy to freedom,
and besides all this, that he notoriousiy kept dis
gused in the garb of an Aid, the wife of an Eng
lish officer. The latter assertion was treated as RI
diculous by all who read it, whilst the former re-
ceived unusual and unqualified reprobation and
contempt from the rejecting and intelligent part
Of the community.
One or two of the eastern presses reluctantly cop
led the article-and among others, the Salem Reg.
ister; the Editor of which publication, in his last
number thus apologies for having done so:
"A Salem gentleman who has recently visited
Lima. and other places in Peru, having read the ar
ticle respecting President Bolivar, which we copied
week or ten days since from the Providence Jour
nal, assures us that the charge, contained in that
paragraph, against that distinguished individual is
entirely without foundation. He saw and heard
much Of Bolivar, and if the fact stated had been so
notorious as is represented he must have heard o.
1t. lie informs us that the person who probably.
conjeeured by the informant Of the Providence Edi-
tor to be female, is young Englishman, one Of
Gen. Bolvars Aids, (the son of the celebrated Sir
Robert WILSON, who, although delicate and femi-
nine in his appearance, has been frequently employ
ed by Bolivar on arduous and hazardous duties out
OF his presence, and Of such nature as entirely to
forbid the suppostion that he could be female in
mans attire. We read this story, so preudicial to
the character ef the South American Hero with re-
gre and published it with relucance--and it gives
us sincere pleasure to make public the foregoing
refutation.'
As to the "intelligent gentlemen" who furnish
the Mondays and Thursdays paper with South
American information, we know nothing of them.
We doubt if such individuals do, or ever did exist
The fact Is, there are some persons in this wide
world, who pretend to be familiarly acquainted
with every thing, and all things, thut happen be.
tween Nootka Sound and Cape Horn II the cook
of merchant ship, who has visited the South Seas,
and the west coast of South America, on his return
home, declares in the presence of one of these gen.
uemen that, whilst in Chill he attended the FASH
ionable routs Of BOLIVAR, and that the Liberator
signs, the tale is instantly published on the author-
ty Of an intelligent gentleman, recently from
Chilli" And we have not doubt that the [" intel.
ligent gentleman alluded to in Mondays and
Thursdays paper, is, there be such an individual,
one oft these self-same personages. If he be any
thing else, let his name be given, and we will make
him an apology for the supposition.
