Some time ago We extracted from the Lynch-

Of which the Editor made himself responsible
that Mr. Madison had declared himself opposed
10 the resolutions adopted by the Legislature Of
Nnglnln, az its last session on the subject of
teflh of duties on jmposls From the same
paper we copy to-day, letter from Mr. Madison
himself, conhrmlng, IN substance, the views thus
attributed Ia him and explicitly stating that his
opinion IN relation TO that subject is in unison
with the uniform practice OF the Government
from the adoption of the Consultation.
No one who is acquainted with the history Of
the asst forty years, could have come 10 the con
clnsion that Mr. Madison is otherwise than friend

be regretted that party feelings should have ur-
ged any one TO throw out doubts and dcnials
which have rendered il necessary for that veneer

tlremen to confirm what his whole course had SO
uueqnivoraly demonstrated.

the pleasure 10 transfer TO our columns, is OF
deep interest,", when we consider It's subject aud
the source whence il emanate.. We consider it
as settling forever the absurdity Of the Virginia
Resolutions concerning revenue and manuiac-

rcscuing it from the unhallowed hands which
have been laid upon il, under the influence (too
much so, al least, of mere party spirit. So care

A WORD TO FEMALES.

1t is not the smiles Of a pretty face, nor
the tint ofthy complexion, nor the beauty
and symmetry of thy person, nor yet the
costly robes and decorations that compose
thy artificial beauty no---nor that enchant-
ing glance, which thou dartest with such
lustre on the man whom thou deignest
worthy of thy affection.---lt is thy pleasing
department thy chaste conversation-thy
sensibility and the purity of thy thoughts
thy aii.ble and open dispositon---thy SYM
pathising with those in adversty---com-
lorting the afflicted: relieving the Distress
ed and above all, that humility Of soul,
that unteigned and perfect regard Of Chris
tianity. These virtues constitute thy LOVE-
LINrss. Adorned but with those of nature
and simplicity, they will shine like the re-.
iulgent sun, and display to man that the
loneliness of thy person is not to be found
in the tinsel ornaments OF thy body, but in
the reflection of the rectitude and serenity
Of a well spent life that scars above the
transient vanities Of this world And
when thy days are ended here upon earth,
thy happy spirit shall watt to the regions Of
eternal bliss.

AN EXTRACT.

Could we draw back the covering of the
tomb---could we see What those are now,
who once were morta---Oh how would 1t
surprise and grieve us to behold the pre-
dlgIous transformation that has taken place
on every ndividuil---grIeve us to see the
dishonour done to our nature in general,
within these subteraneous iodgments---here
the sweet and winning aspect, that wore
perpetuaIiy an attracting smile, grins hor-
ribly---a naked hastily grin!---The eye
that outsnone the diamonds lustre, and
glanced its lovely lightning into the most
guarded heart---alas! where is it? Where
shall we find the rolling sparkler? iiow
are al! those radien' glorles totally eclipsed
That tongue that once commanded all the
charms Of harmony, and all the powers OF
eloquence, in this strange land hath forgot
its cunning. Where, where arethe strains
ofmelody, which ravished our ears' Where
the flow of persuasion which carried cap
tive our judgments' The great master of
language and of song is become silent as
the night which surrounds him.

On visit, u few years ago, to ladies'
school, | happened to be there on a sab
bath evening. The duties Of the day had
been performed, and the children had re-.
tiren to the sch0ol-room. Seated in dis
tant part of the house, heard the sound
Of their united voices IN hymns of their
own selection. This had not been impos-
ed upon them as a necessary duty, and
they were at the time from under the eyes
OF their instructors. l cannot describe
the pleasurable sensations felt, but the
impression remains at the distance Of
years the RENE nlbrance of the hearts and
voices ofthe young and the innocent at
tuned to the praise oftheir Creator. Oh,
il religion be not source Of delight. 10
children, the fault is not their own.

FEMALE TEMPER

at is particularly necessary for girls to
require command Of temper, because much
of the effect Of their powers of reasoning
and Of their Wit, when they grow up, de-
pend upon the gentleness and good humor
with which they conduct themselves. "A
woman who should attempt 10 thunder with
her tongue, would not find her eloquence
increase her domestic happiness. We do
not wish that woman should implicitly
yield their better judgment to their fathers,
or husbands but let them support the
cause of reason with all the graces of ie-
male gentlenes.
A man, in furious passion, is terrible
to his enemies but woman, in passion,
is disgusting to her friends she loses all
the respect due to her sex, and she has not
masculine strength ard courage to enforce
any other kind Of respect These circum-
should be considered by those who
advise that no difference should be made in
the education the two sexes.
The happiness and influence Of woman,
both as wives and mothers, and indeed, in
every relation, so much depends on their
TEMPER, that it ought to be most carefully
cultivated. We should not suffer girls to
imagine that they can balance Ill HUMoUK
by some good quality or accomplishment
because. in fact, THERE ARE NONE WHICH
CAN SUPPLY THE WANT OF TEMPER IN THE
FEMALE SEN"

City ladies' boast of being more delicate,
than country maidens. The one breathes
an air polluted with many thousand breaths
the other inhales the breeze freshened over
the new mown hay.-The one drinks water
from the sewe'-mingling pump, or through
impure pipes from the open horse pond
the ether pours 1t from the moss-covercd
bucket, or dips it from the pure spring. =
The one walks over the hard pavements,
along the dusty piles of bricks the other
trips over the sof, grass, along the grateful
rows Of trees. The one is pale and sickly,
from watching at the evening concert tho
other is ruddy and healthy, from rising with
the morning birds The one is the lilly of
the green house the other is the rose be-

admired the ingenious handy-work Of man

Anon.
Amelia Wilson was blooming girl
Of sixteen summers, fair as the blushing
rose bud of morning, ere the refuIgent orb
Of day has dispeled' the dewy freshness
which beauties its petals. The light and
buoyancy of youth sported around her ie-
menine figure, ana sparkled brilliantly
from beneath the raven lashes, which frin-
ged her speaking eyes. Health threw
rosy mantle around her, and gave luxu-
RANT zest to the complexion aud symmetry
of features for which she was peculiarly
admired. Yet beauty was her least orna-
ment, as she was adorned with every re-
quisite and elegant accomplishment which
adds a polish to the female character, be-
sides possessing a natural strength of mind
and amiability Of disposition, which imparts
a heavenly tInge to the unpolluted mind
of virtuoUs woman.
A first love, with all its ardent hopes
and sacred aspirations, had recently difiu-
sed its magic feeling over her youthful bo-
som, concentrating every aAectionate emo
ton Of her soul in the person Of Clarence
Richards. Clarence was youth OF nine
teen, possessing every winning faculty cal
culated to gain the affections of young
and susceptible female. An interesting
yet manly countcnance, graceful and in
sinuating address, accompanied with a
mind of unusual strength and penetration,
he was not dilatory in perceiving the inter-
est he held in the heart Of the artless Ame-
liza, nor less enthusiastic in reciprocating
such interest.
Clarence had been a constant visitor AT
Amelia's for at least year; they had VOW
ed to each other eternal fidelity. Yet a
