MON. CHURCHILL C. CAMBRFLENG.
OF tho early, or rather Juvenile history, Of
the Hon. cHuRcHILL c. CArsRELENo.
but little is known, and oven tho place Of his
birth is n matter Of some dispute among the
admirers Of his talents and variegated fortunes.
That he was born in North-c carolioa, is, how
ever, certain; but whether he first cast his eyes
upon this breathing world, from mansion in
Newborn. Washington, or Tarborough. is a
question which has not yot been decided; but
We were credibIy informed, about three years
since, whilst on 4 tour through the Southern
States. that he was born in the town Of
Newbsrs, Of poor, bat respectable parents,
who, unable to pay tho necessary attention to
tho education Of their son, committed him to
tho care Of 4 shipmaster, who took him to New
York, where he was entered an apprentice to
n sreaetils house, Of equal eminence and re-
'speetasiisy.
Like many other men Of eminence, Mr.. CAM
'broleng has risen by the force Of his own indus
Try and genius; and though we arc warmly.
nay, oven vehcmently opposed to his political
predictions, we honor him for his talents, and
the persovsr ance which he has manifest cd
Though life, to do credit to himself. and 10
the memory Of those parents, who watched
over him, and fondly looked upon their off
spring, and prayed for his success, though they
were not, from the nature Of their pecuniary
smbsuassments. enabled TO do justice 10 his
deserving merits and virtues.
Asriycd at Now York. he commenced his
apprenticeship. and during the yoars Of his pro-
baton, was remarkable for the correctness
Of bis habits, his industry and zeal; and il wss
said Of him at the time, that he was the most
indcfatigabls young merchant the city Afford
.sd;--and whilst his cotcmporariss were en-
gagged In the silly and ridiculous follies and
.foibles Of tho times, and squandered away
iaheir time and their money. young Cambrsleng
was oocupied by the studies Of his closet, and
soif-scqured education, which laid the foun-
.dation Of bis fame, and gained for him the
,viaes he SOW holds, and which i looked upon
with an eye Of snvy.by nis coontrytnsn and CO.
