Hon. NATHANIEL MAcoN.-On the 10th
inst the citizens of Louisburgh, North Carolina,
invited Mr.. Macon to partake Of public din
ner; and to receive their evidences of friendship
and respect for his long and faithful services.
To their card of invitation, Mr.. Macon replied,
that he had never in his life attended a public
dinner, given to any man. that he was always
opposed to such proceedings, as he considered
them and the doings which signalzed them, a
species of political idolatry. He therefore de-
clined the invitation of his friends; and remark
cd, that he was now too old to change his opin-
ions although to do so, he might secure some OF
the adulation Of his countrymcn.
In the department of Mr. Macon, in this in
stance, there is perfect consistency, for from
the day that he came into the world, he was
never known to change his opinions or the fash
ion Of his boots ts;-the.irst he has adhered to
upwards Of seventy years, and the latter, he
has worn from the day he first entered the coun-
flexible ntegrity--political and moral-but is
as obstinate as a mule, and as determined in
his opposition, where he happens 10 be oppos-
ed, as was Sir Francis Wronghead. For this
reason, he was placed by Mr.. Calhoun, at
the organization ofthe first Congress under the
present administration, at the head Of the COM
mittee Of foreign relations, because he was
known to be personally hostile to Mr. Clay, and
would, as his intercourse with the Department
Of State would be frequent and important, do
all in his power to embarrass that offioss The
calculation was we'll founded, and the result OF
tho Colonial affair, tells how firm and pndevict-
ng was the mulish Senator, in his opposition to
the Secretary.
But there is much in the character Of Mr.
Macon to admire; and if republican simplicity
ever preponderated over any man, it does over
him. He spurns every thing like uristocracy
from his presence; and would sooner cat a vi
per, than suffer any thing like royalty to dis
turb his thoughts by day, or dreams by night.
1t is an opinion with him, that every man who
presumes to arrogate to himself, self fsuperiority
or who does not subscribe to the doctrine that
call men are born free and equal" should be
made head shorter. His political faith is
that which was laid down by Mr.. jefferson
and he would sooner die than depart from it
or utter a sentiment or word that would
not bo consistent with the policy Of the la.
mented Philosopher Of Monticello.

THE JUpIcIARY.---The Judiciary question
appears to have been settled, if any opinion
can be formed from the sentiments expressed
and implied by the public, at the late town.
meetings. In stating this, we feel no inconsid-
cradle qualification, and in anticipation, con-
issue of subject, which has so largely occu-
pied the minds of the people.
We have been surprised, to find men of in
tclligence opposed to the new system; and as
we know them TO be men of talents, who
would not trust case of any consequence to
the adjudication of the old court, we can only
attribute their opposition to sinister motives
But present appearances seem to Indicate, that
justice, truth and reason, have triumphcd over
stupidity and ignorance, and we content our
selves with rejoicing, that there is prospect
Of our soon having judicial system, based up
on light and intelligence, and to which we can
appeal with an assurance of meeting impartial
Justice.
The friends Of the old Court, in the midst Of
their heat, contended that il ought not to be
re-modelled, or recognized, because it had
existed one hundred and ninety-eght years;
and their arguments, in effect, went to urge the
propriety of continuing a curse which others
could not remove, Notwithstanding they had
most ardently and anxiously striven to do so.
Taking their hypothesis for a rule of right, we
might contend, that an evil never should be
removed, because it had long existed. But
the subject is not worth ones consideration,
if it be considered in connexion with its misc
rablc opposers. The people will decide.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.-We find the an
nexed account Of melancholy affair, in a late
English publication, and now republsh it., for
the especial benefit of the rising generation.
MARRIED.-At the Holy Trinity Church,
SALISBURY, England, John Dewland to Anna
Parry. The bridegroom was intoxicated
that the clergyman rcfused>to marry the hap
py couple. BY particular desire ofthe bride,
however, Ito make sure work Of it) they were
locked in the church for three hours; at the
expiration of which time the bridegroom was
cool enough TO 60 on with the ceremony. A
large concourse of people attended outside the
church to hail the happy couple. Their court
ship continued for nearly ten years.
REMARKs.---Such alas! are the dreadful
consequences of intoxicaton; and how very
strange the bridegroom must have felt, when
he woke from his cocktail snoOze," and
found himself, as Commodore Trunnion would
say, spliced TO a woman! The case affords a
strong admonition TO the lovers Of strong drink,
and should teach them to keep perfectly cool!
Alas and a-lack q day! What will not intem-
perance bring a man to, ifit brings him
against his consent to state Of welded life!
We earnestly solicit all, who are engaged in
the cause Of Bacchus, to read this melancholy
affair, and then to stop and ponder! It would
furnish good subject for a sermon, but at
present we will not preach it.

In the last number of our weekly publica-
ton, in an article, headed NEWSPAPER
CRIrIcIsM," we charged a writer, who made
an attack upon us in the Journal, with having,
while editor Of another paper written, and pub
lishcd =" a puff direct" in favour Of himself, in
the Rhode-Island American Of July 20, 1925.
At the time we believed our statement to be
accurate, or we should not have published it;
and that belief was based upon information re-
be entitled TO our confidence. Since then, we
have been satisfied that we we're in error; and
now in Justice to an individual, whom we have
injured, make this public and proper recanta-
ton. In doing this we act in accordance with
our sense Of Justice and propriety.

Correspondence of the Souereigns Of Eu-
rope ,cith Bonaparte.-Durng his life, Bona
parte collected volume of autographed and
confidential letters, written to him by several
sovercigns of Europe. This curious and impor-
tant volume he especially recommended 10 the
care Of his brother Joseph-but by some means
or other found its way to London-where it was
bought for the sum of 10000 franks by the
minister of some great power, who amply re-
imbursed himself for his speculation, by giving
up to various ministers the letters of their re-
spectivo sovereigns.

AMERICAN HoTEL, NEw-YoRK.-The
American Hotel, New-York, will be opened
to, LIST proximo, by Messrs. Blake 4 Board
man, as will be seen by an advertisement in
this days paper. That this Hotel will main
tain a superior rank in New-York, cannot be
doubted by those who know any thing of the
very able and indcfatigablc propretors. Mr..
Blake, whilst proprietor of the Franklin House
in this town, gained a well-earned reputation
as an inn-kceper, and established a house,
which was as advantagcously known as any oa
the continent. Besides possessing all the re-
quisites of an accomplished landlord, he dis
played all the finer qualifications Of finished
gentleman, and was equally respected and ad-
mired by oil who knew him. That success,
full and signal, will crown his efforts in New
York, we most sincerely wish; nor do we
doubt that all his anticipations will be realized
Ills eastern friends regret his departure, and
will, to man, patronizc his new house, when
ever they visit the great metropolis of the
Union. For the second time, we commend
Mr.. Blake to the kind attentions and cvilities
Of Dr. Coleman, Of the Post, Major Noah, of
tho New-York Enquirer, Colonel Stone of the
Commercial, and Mr.. Prentice Of the States
man, and to all Of our editorial Brethren in
New-York, who are disposed to reward and
patronize sterling merit.

Fenelon, Racine, Moliere, Ninon De PEnclos,

THE MIDNIGHT ALARM.

1t was on one still, calm, pleasant
evening in spring, when the hum OF
business had ceased, the bees of mer-
camille industry had each one sought his
hive, and general silence reigned over
the face of our city, that was unbr oxen,
save by the resounding cry OF the Wig
liant watchman-the irregular barking
of dogs--the discordant screaming OF
cats, and now and then the soft whls-
pers of enamored pairs, walking in the
mild light of the moon, and vowing vows
Of everlasting love. The moon career
ing in silvcry majesty, waded in the deep
azure ocean above, and every star peep
cd out from its lurking place, sparkling
afar off in the heavens, and shedding
ten thousand beams of twinklng lustre
and the clouds, as if partaking of the
general freedom from gloom that reign
ed throughout the canopy of heaven,
fitted across the sky in which hazincss,
like the shades Of the virtuous departed
winged their flight over the broad gulph
that divides the paltry boundaries Of hu-
man life from the unfathomable darkness
of eternity. Borne upon the dead still
ness of the night, came the mournful
sound Of the town clock, as il noted the
hour of,welvc--.hat dreadful hour when
