From the New- York american, Nov Is.

Mr. Eo1aet.-It was our melancholy duty to an
nounce yesterday that Mr. Emmett, while engaged
in his professional duties in TIL Circuit Court, was
struck with apoplexy; and the torebodngs which
were uttered as to the result realized. for he is
no more; he expired last night about half past ten
o'clock. The high standing of this gentleman, at
the bar his talents and character. the circumstances
of this le-and those ofhs death, combine to take
him out Of the ordinary routine, aud require some
thing more at the hand ofpubc journalist than the
brief notice which daily records in his columns that
man is mortal.
OF the early life and history of Mr.. Emmet before
he came to the United States, il is not our purpose
to speak neither is it for as to aude to any acts OF
| his political career after he came here. Beneath
the pail which now enshrouds his cold remains, we
will see only the man of genius, the eloquent advo-
cate, the enlightened and polished gentleman, the
devoted and affectionate father, husband friend
sna,ched TOO soon, and in the ful!ness of his fame
and usefulness from the community that he adorn-
ed and served-from family that he dearly iov-
ed.

added the advantages of fine education, OF varied
and extensive literary requirements, and OF the
most untiring industry and perseverance. lie was

THE LETTER AGAIN.

No way abashed by the rebnifs the "kennel pres

much talked of eterof Mr.. Webstel's, which no
body has ever seen. the Hon. Samuel C. Allen, of
Massachusetts. has been recently summoned before
the public. to sustain the charge. 1t will be seen.
however, by what follows, that this new attack has
been no less promptly met and put down by Mr.
Allen, than have been the former ones. The Green
field Mass Herald received this morning, contains
the following letter from Mr. A.
An article in a late number of the u. s. Tee-
graph, has been shewn mt, containing the following
paragraph
- We aver upon good authority. thai Mr.. Webster

lpledged Mr.. Adams to the Federal party, and he
did shew it to some aud offered to shew it to another
Federal gentleman as an inducement to influence
their votes for Mr.. Adams. We will now name Mr..
WarfieId. of Maryland Mr.. Allen of Massachusetts,
and Mr.. Nc Lane, of Delaware

There are three orders Of men, whose
professed object is,to benefit the Choc-
laws. The Missionaries, with lau-
dable zeal, are striving to benefit US,
by instructing our children, and both
by precept and example recommend
ing the Gospel to all. Gould not The
Methodist afford to assist us 10 the way
that leads to the Redeemers Kingdom.
The second class is the whiskey mer
chant who have the arrogance o say that
they are beneficial 10 the nation. be
cause the natives are fond of whiskey.

greg shops near the line ID aud there, in
violation of the laws of your state car
ry on Illicit traffic with the Indians:
And, for fear of detection, the lamp
with its glImmering light, is compel
led to behold the blushing deed
The third class supposes, that il we
were removed to the west OF the Mis-
sissippi, and forsake farming and turn
hunters, we should soon become great
nation, and be preserved frola ruin;
or i'll other words from final annihi
lation. This is mistaken n0iion--be-
cause agriculture and the arts of peace
Increase theiI vOtaries, whilst the pre-
carous subsistence that is afforded by
the chace decreased its followers.
Ii ever the Choctaws are civilized,
am convinced that here is the place to
do it. But u desire TO remove us ha:
overcome every benevolent considera
ton in our behall-our patriotism /.

and no friendly voice is raised in ouT
defence 1t is the pride of the United
