MR.. COOK OF ILLINOIS.

The grave which now holds the mortal remains of
the late Representative from Illinois, has not been
permitted to shelter Ills memory from unfounded,
but most Malignant reproach. The only provocation
to these assaults is, that in the exercise of his rights
as free representative of free men, he voted for
Mr.. Adams, and not for Gen. Jackson.
AT a subsequent date, and when no longer in
Congress, he was appointed by the President to DIS
charge responsible, delicate, and most cOnfden-
al trust, in visiting, and ascertainng the state OF
feeling of the Island of Cuba--then as now, and
at all times, an object of most special Importance to
these United States. The motives of this appoint
ment and its issue, when disclosed in the official
documents published by us some days ago and they
have been approved by the general voice of unbias-
sed men. To this voice, the Jackson press of
does not respond but have seized upon this, as up
on every other appointment Of the government, as
| source of elimination and reproach The famous
Retrencbment Committee endeayoured to make
something out of it-but ailed-tnoush every effort
was made to couple MIR. Cooks vote on the Presi-
dental question with his acceptance Of the mission
to Cuba. Among the witnesses, through whom it
was expected to stab the memory of MIR. Cook, was
the Postmaster General, Mr.. Mclean, who what
ever be his merits and believe them considerable,
as public ofcer) will not be accused of partiaRty
for the administration. How Mr.. McLane viewed
the course of MIR. Cook both in his vote, and in
ceptng the mission, may be gathered from the an
nexed letter, addressed by Mr.. M'Lane, to the
Chairman Of the Rstrenchment Committee -
/ WASHINGTON, 4th April, 1928.
SIR AS inquiries were made of me, the other
day, while under examination before the Committee
on Retrenchnents, respecting conversationshed be-
tween Mr.. Cook and myself in reference to his be-
ing named to the President for certain Office it has
since occurred to me that it would have been pro-
per to have stated that Mr. Cook consulted with me
as to the propriety of such step. This was in
duced, no doubt, from the friendly relation which
had always. since first acquaintance, existed be-
tween US, and from his knowledge Of the fact that

the citizens Of Columbia on the 10Th, to Messrs Me-

Dear sr.--It is our conviction from the most de.
liberae examination Of your case, that your present
i'll health, wholly independent of any organic de.
rangement, is the gradual effect of sedentary habits
and intense and too long confined application to The
arduous duties Of your official station.
Entertaining such an impression, it appears tot
that little is required for your speedy and entire
recovery than temporary escape from the influence
Of those causes, aided by a strict adherence to
proper regulated regimen
AS essential to the success of every other sus.
gestion on our part, we must therefore insist on
suspension, as soon it can be done with any soro
convenience, of your present engagements and that
a heightened journey be pursued lesurely through
some healthy region of country, as little exposed as
possible to all undue excitements.
1t is natural for us to suspect from the political
character of the times, and the generous devotion Of
your friends, that occasions may arise to call you to
social entertainments. and the delivery Of formal
addresses. Every temptation ct the kind we trust
will be resolutey resisted, however ungraclous may
seem the refusal, since such indulgences would not
fail to lead to the worst consequences utterly trus-
trative of our plan of cure.
AS you cannot Immediately enter on the proposed
journey, we do strenuously recommend to you as
the best substitute for it, to appropriate daily several
hours of the interval that may eapse, to e1ere'fe
and rccreative amusements. Equally have your
mind and body been oyerworked, and while the one
is to be recruited by agreeable relaxation, the other
should be fortified by active exertion.
Concerning diet, the avoidance of exposure to
cold, and the use of medicine, we have nothing 70
add to the verbal instructions given - you.
! Continue this course unremittJ. y for SIX or
eight weeks, and we can pretty c5vidently assure
you Of the restoration of health, in which result no
one will more sincerely rejoice than ourselves,
With our best wishes we are, Dear Sir, yours
most truly and respectfully,

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF THE LATE
DUGALD STEWART.

Died, on the llth June, in Edinburgh, aged
seventy. FIVE, Professor Stewart. His name re-
mains an honor to the philosophy and i'era~
ture Of Scotland. He was the son Of DR.. Mat
thew Stewart, professor Of Mathematics in the
University Of Edinburgh, where his more ccle.
brared descendant was for many years proies.
sor Of moral Philosophy, He was bora in
1853, studied under Blair and Ferguson, and
enjoyed the friendship Of Dr. Reid, TO whom
be ha. been infinitely indebted for a fame found.
ed on his Metaphy steal writings. In 1872,
Stewart put forth his philosophy Of the Human
Mind in 2 vols. Alto. and the next year. his Out
lines Of Moral Philosophy. He continued TO
publisE--Adarn Smiths Essays, with a Me-
the Life and Writings Of Reid; Philosophical
Essays; and very recently TWO new Volumes
The remains OF this distinguished philosopher
were inferred IN tne Canongate Church Yard.
The funeral proceeded as private one till it
reached the head Of the North Bridge, where it
was Joined by the Professors Of the University,
in their gowns two and two, preceded by the
mace-bcarer, the junior members being in front,
and the principal in the rear. After these came
the magistrate and Council, preceded by the
regalia and officers, the Lord Provost in the
rear Next came the hearse, drawn by six
horses, with three ba,onmen on each side, and
then followed the mourning coaches and pri-
vate carriages, with the relations and friends
of the deceased. "The solemn feelings" says

the language Of reason, treating with contempt
the notion that you are Inaccessible to lis voice.
We have shown the Inconsistencies oil WHICH
you will be guilty in voting for these ncn-so
far, your own character, and that alone, Is in-
volved. But The elevation Of a military Chief
tain. as Jackson was long since appropriately
called by Mr.. Richie, is pregnant with untold
dangers, mediate and remote. We may sus-
;aip no harm: that Providence which has so
long blessed us as a nation, may avert from Us
the evils OF military rule, and may disarm The
precedent Of all its dangers. But II is not the
part Of prudence, least, 10 rely upon such spe-
ciaI intervention; and we must be deaf 10 the
voice Of history, past aud contemporary; we
must be blind to what is passing, at this mo
ment, before our eyes, before we can hope TO es.
cape that rxin which has invariably befallen The
nation which has entrusted lis dcstiuics Into The
hands OF a successful soldier.

Princes sabre. This eEasperaied the rest
and they knocked him down. When he
came to himself he found they were drag
ging from pond where they had taken
him for the purpose Of recovering him.
They stripped him, and led him barefOo'
into the country 100 miles. He offered
his capiOr as ransom 100 camels, 100 cat
tie, as many sheep as he could drive, and
as much gold as he could carry. But his
revenge was too great to accept the offer,
and he finally sold him to the Mandingoes
for two TASKS of powder, some guns, eight
hands of tobacco, and two bottles of rum.
He was put on board a slave ship with 700
fellow sufferers---4OO men, 200 men, and
100 children. The nature of this traf6ck.
has been so often before you, that it would
be useless to describe its horrors. Princes
suferings were very great, and after very
tedious voyage, the vessel arrived at Dom
inico. He was transferred to an American
ship, shipped to N. Orleans, and from
thence sent TO Natchez, where he was sold
to Col. Foster for 5000. His story was not
credited, and he sank down into common
slave.
