ISAAC B. DrsHA.-Ths last Kentucky Re-

his death, confessed the murder of Francis

Of having committed murder. lie had resided
in Ohio for some years, and had acquired con-

Desba near 81. Louis, Missouri, who went un-

on the day before his trial was to have taken
place.

en- up this controversy and thrown bimself up

Since writing tho above, We have read an
article prepared and published in the Rhode.

iect. What secret motive could have induced
the editor Of that paper to come forward and
interfere in what was none of his bnsincss-in
a controversy with which he had nothing TO do
either directly or indirectly, is to us a little
mysterious. 1t cannot be possible that the ed
nor Of the Journal is not able to defend him.
self and requires tho assistance. of his neigh.
bors. This we do not believe. IF the editor
OF tho American is solicitous Of a controversy
with us, wo are ready and willing to meet him
If he is NOT, we would thank him 10 keep his
revengcfnl feelings to himself, and as VIC said
before, not interfere in what does not con-
ccin him in tho least. HIS article is weak,
p~ointloss and shallow, and unworthy Of further

liberal minced man would have deprived the
country Of the benefit Of his talents, in a station
where he has demo so mucl, service. He had
made il his study 10 learn the situation and
wants Of all classes Of the remaining Heroes
Of our Revolution. We have witnessed with
delight his great efforts TO procure q ~pittance
for these venerable pu,rio,s.-Hc has been
looked up to by those who were pining in
penury and want-the mighty energy Of his
great mind has struggled 10 obtain for them
redress. Ho has met at every point tho oppo-
nents to their just claims. His oloquenco has
been oxcrted before Congress for succor, and
it has not been in vain. He had obtained
something. Much however remained to bs
done. But tho pi.ifaI spleen Of a third rate
man, clothed with brief authority. has render
ed his exertions almost useless.
But it is Of no use to complain. Party spirit
has rendered Mr.. Stevenson an object Of con.

 r no'se pcime ;%s::hc.: ....os.a..o.., eo,- lant without fiatness, and sportive but not equivocal. 1t consists neither in dispuia- lions, nor in epigrams. One must reason without appealing to be arguing, joke with out punning, seek to allay wit with season; grave maxims with sprightly salGes keen satire, adroif f1attery, and austere morality. Every thing is talked of, in order that eve- ry one may have chance to say some- thing. Nothing is treated profoundly. for fear of being wearisome-questions are thrown out, as it were accidentally, glan- ced at with rapidity; precision leads to elegance---esch one gives his opinion and supports it briefy--no one impugns with warmth that of another--no one defends his own with obst stipacy--they discuss that they may be the better understood, and stop short rather than dispute. Each is instructed, each is amused-all go away satisfied, and even the sage may carry a. way from such conversation materials of meditation for his hours of snlitude.'
