Da GIDEON HuMPHREY:
Sir-As members of a Committee Of
the friends of the Administration in this
city, we fake the liberty to address to
you, respectfully, the following inquiry
We have been told by a gentleman OF
responsibility, who is one Of your per-
sonal friends, that you have, or lately
had, in your possession, an original letter
from General Andrew jackson, which
furnishes additional evidence of his real
disposition and character
As we are informed, the letter. is one
of several that were written by General
jackson to your late brother Major
Humphrey, of the Artillery, and con
tains the following passage respecting
the reduction of the army by Congress,
viz: The government ought to be id.
Instead Of reducing the army, they ought
to have increased it ten. fold'
The letter as quoted to us contains
other phrases, Of similar tenor, but not
SC particularly recollected.
The people Of the United States are
deeply interested to know If such are the
actual sentiments of a candidate fos the
chief magistracy.
We trust, therefore, that you viii ap
preciate our motive in asking that you
will communicate the precise language
of the letter referred to; and we venture
to add the request, that if the letter is
still in your possession, you will allow
us to obtain an authentic and certified
copy Of it.
An answer at your earliest leisure will
much oblige Us. We are, &c.

this I'm g army was to be applied,
we learn that THE MILITIA were TO
be condemned and broken down as
wholly incapable of being reduced to a
state OF stupefaction.

From the above it appears that the number of
slaves in Delaware increased nearly ten per cent.
between 1910 and 1890.
After this imperfect discussion of the subject it
remains to consider what is the proper course to
be pursued in this unhappy state of things, SO az
to reconcile, far possible, the demands Of
humanity towards the slave, with the security am.
the claims Of the masters, and the welfare o, the
States interested Can it answer any benevol, Mt
or valuable purpose to render the slaves restless,
discontented, unhappy, and ripe for reyolt by an
unceasng defamation on the oppression under
which they labor 10 make them long after a
state which, in the present situation Of AFFAIRS is.
at least for long time, entirely hopeless Is the
situation of the free negroes SO very enviabe,
pared with that Of the slaves, to render it ad.i
sable to incur the risk of convu.ion for the eman-
cipation Of the latter?
Are we to keep the masters in a constant state
of feverish anxiety and apprehension To deter
them, however humane, from relaxing the rigaI
Of the slave code to SOW the seeds of jealousy,
and distrust, and hostile feelings, between the dit
ferent sections of the Union?

MOTHER, am dying now,
Deaths cold damps my brow
Leave me not-each pang grows stronger,
Patient watch little longer.
Sweet il is your voice to hear,
Though duh and heavy grows mine ear
Wait and take my last adeu,
Never Mother ayed like you'll
Though your form nc'er might sec,
Ycur image was not hid from me-
Siam ID on my adoring MUD,
Beautiful but undefn'd;
Ever fair and ever bright,
! hat vision flfcl me with delight.
Well knew @hate'er might be-
Those oft -pras'd forms could rot see,
Might all their beauty view,
None Of them would rival YOU"
Life to me sweet ard dear,
While liv'd the tales TO hear,
Told by you or Wintry hearth.
All to make your blind-huy mirth
And lov'd my vnce TO JON
III chorus Of those hymns divine,
BY which you fondly taught your boy.
To look 10 Heaven with hope and joy
Sun moon could not see,
But love measured time for me,
When your kiss my slumber broke,
Then knew the morn had v oke,
And when came the hour to pray,
Then knew twas close of day.
When heard the loud winds blow,
And felt the warm fire glow,
Then knen twas winter wild,
And kent at home-ynnr helpless child
When the air grew mild and soft,
And he gay lark sang aloft
And heard the sreamlet flowing,
And smelt the wild iow'r blowing.
And the bee did round me hum.
Then knew the spring was come.
Forth WANDERED with delight.
Aud knew when days were brigh.
When climb'd the green hill's side,
Fancy traced the prospect vide;
Aud twas pleasant when pressed
The warm and downy turf, to rest.
Now, never more shall roam
The many paths around my home
And you will often look in vain,
Nor hail your wanderef eer agat,
Never more on tiptoe creep,
Where he lay as if asleep,
Or with low and pain.ivc moan,
Hummng to himself alone,
On bed Of wild flowers strctch'd.
Starting when kiss you snatch'd,
Till nature whispered twas my muthei
And affection gave another!
But tits sweeier thus to die,
With my tender mother by,
Than to be in life alone,
When she and every friend were gone
Mourn not Ger me broken hearted
Not for long shall we be parted,
Soon in Wales which ever bloom,
Which unfadng low'rs perfume,
In realms of life, Of light, and Joy,
You will meet your poor blind-boy! N.
