JULIA BRUcE.-Most Of our readers have
heard Of Julia Bruce, the deaf, dumb, and
girl, who resides in Hartford, (CoR,) but
few of them have ever cast a reflection upon
her loneliness and dcprivations. Born to a
world whose stiffness, like that of death,
c,eeps through every Gbre of her existence,
and rests upon every living thing around her,
shrouding with an impenetrable mantle the
movements Of a noisy world, she came into
existence, and hardly knew she lived, breath
ed, in animated life, and yet no breathing
sound pissed from mouth to ear-existed
among social beings, and yet no friendly voice
tighten. If she was grieved, she could tell it
motif mirthful, none shared it--and if an
cry, none knew it. She was alone ; for al
though crowds passed around her, she saw
none-and the busy and the gay, the idle and
the sad, were alike unknown to her, as If they
had never existed at all for they had no
place in her memory, but remained as if Om-
Impotence had never babe them start from
their native dust. If the God of her creation
shook the Universe with his thunders, the
echo died away before it reached her senses
if q bow was set in the heavens to tell that
the storm had passed. it faded, and Julia
Bruce never conceived of its beauties. She
.oas alone , for although friends existed, she
never saw them-she never heard them-she
had no power to say to father or mother, ~
lone thee or to brother and sister, =" Thou
art DEAR" but - stood alone, communing
only with herself and her Creator. She con-
ceived not of The passage Of time, but, q if
something whispered to her mind the existence
Of q Supreme Being, and the day he had set
apart as his own. she intuitively knew The
Sabbath and Julia Bruce, the deaf, the
dumb, and the blind girl, has been seenson
her Bonded knees, praying to Almighty God.
But although deprived of almost everything
that enables ingenuity and intelligence TO ldis-
play itself, this girl has astonished all whom
curiosity has prompted TO visit her, by her abil-
it,e. with the needle and other implements Of
handicraft work; and reminds the spectator of
those who have eyes and see not, and ears and
hear not. The most beautiful counterpanes
are from her hand, and the neatest %prunelia
shoes of her workmanship. From industry she
appears to have nothing to draw her attention

The last lumber of the Winchester Repub-s
lican, came with an exposure of one Sumner
Lincoln Fairfield, marked for our particular
notice. Mr.. Fairfield, who is a retailer of
rhymes for the ladies, has been doing small
tricks. just for the purpose of getting a living
without work, and when the persons upon
whom he practised them made an exposure, he
turned round and cried persecution. az Justify
as ever the Jacksonians did-and the conse-
quence was, that public opinion sustained tho
knave Gas it has on a former occasion) and
honesty had like to have been again overpow-
cred by the cry of the mob. The present pub.
LEGATION is to sustain Mr.. Bryan, the gentleman
who was imposed upon in his former exposure.
We hope justice may overtake the swindlsr,
and society be purged of such vagabonds, who
roam about to get tho earnings of honest men,
and we likewise hope that the ladies, by way
of punishment, will refuse to read his ~poetical
illusions, or call them pretty. And we doubt
not that this will be the unkindest cut of all.

1t is a singular country we live in, and it is
happy in its singularity. The remark has been
often made by fore ign travellers, but not more
frequently than truly, that we rail and scold
at one another in public, and at the hustingss
with such bitterness, that a stranger supposes
the whole country to be on the eve of civil war
if not on the verge of dissolution; whilst, when
the polls are closed, and the stranger looks for
the consummation in broken heads and bloody
noses, the people 90 quietly home and sup
with their wives and children, as TRANQUILITY az
though nothing had happened in the day to
move their tempcrs. A beautiful illustration,
on a largo scale, of this popularity in the char
acter Of a perfectly free ~people-free even to
the beau ideal Of liberty-has been observed
in the assembling of Congress at the present
Session. The violence of the recent contest,
for the choice Of Electors, has not been ex-
ceeded by any that has proceeded il. The
members Of Congress have necessarily min
gled in it, most Of them warmly, and some Of.
them conspicuously. But, in their salutationss
and in the visible intercourse between thems
nothing is observable but that respect which,
they owe, reciprocally, to their official station.
and the amenity and p~ropriety which dignity.
even that station. The personal observation,
Of this state Of things must, we think, have am
odd effect upon the feelings Of those psrtizanss
who, If they have not already arrived here, arer
hot upon the scent, in Tie train Of those whossr
battles they have been fighting, and eager for
the fruits Of victory. II Is not in the nature Oh
an enlightened and humnnized People to wage
an enerminating warfare; and so the mere
prize fighters in politics will soon find, to their
sore dismay and grevous disappointment-

EFFEcTs OF THE TARIFF AND MURDEn.
The Frankfort Commentator gives tho details
of a recent affair which took place in South
Carolina. The circumstances are as follows,
"Mr. TurnbuIl, a respectable citizen of Fay.
cite county, was in South Carolina with a drove
Of horses and mules for sale; having reached q
certain Village, (the name or position Of which
we did not learn) and finding no sale there, he
proceeded on. The people, acting under the
excitement produced by the an:i-tarifp proceed
ings, determined to turn him back towards
homo. A number Of ahem way laid him at a
bridge, attacked his drove on the bridge, and
forced some Of the mules off the bridge into the
river. Mr.. Turnbul!, it appears, was armed,
and did not fai, to resist. He fred upon the
assailants, killed one, and wounded one or two
more. He had been arrested, and committed
to Jail, to await a trial. His drove was dis
persed. We trust he will not be found to have
violated any law Of South Carolina. At all
events, if the above is a correct account Of tho
affair. his conduct will not be disapproved By
his own countrymen."
MI. Gopdell ought to remove his Investiga-
tor to the South, and prevent such outrages in
future. !.

Buonaparte said at St. Helena of the En-

If this Science 5e a true Science, we do
pray that some one we'll acquainted with its
principles may happen this way, being hearth
ly DESTROYS of having our own heads, and those
Of our contemporaries, examined, that we
may know what we ourselves and they are
believing that If anything could puzzle a Cra-
biologist, it would be to tell that. We should
laugh to see our friend Goodell's head between
the hands Of such a necromancer-for we
know there would be distortions Of counte-
nance, when he knew his real character and
opinions must come out. not even excepting
those on the subject Of Mr.. Pickering's Ora
ton.
But, as we said before, we believe nothing
at all about Craniology and P~hysiognomy. As
nature has made the body, 50 is not the mind
necessarily. The form of the one and the
form Of the other. are as entirely disconnected
as mortality and Immortality. Who could
have told by The shape Of 4Esop's head, that
he would have instructed and astonished the
world with his writings! And who. when they
looked al the diminutive countenance Of John
PhiIpot Curran, believed they beheld the man
who had shaken with his eloquence the most
numerous and enlightened assemblies in Eu-
rope |! If the ricketts, raise a mans skull over
the brain, is ne wise /! or disease lift the fore
head from its natural elevation, does il make
him a philosopher!
We repeat, that We believe nothing about
this story Of DR.. Calls, for We once saw a
man hanged, with rs handsome a Roman nose
on his face. as ever grew.

and we have no doubt that the Secretary Of

which is thrown upon him by the Increase and
