knew, for the first time, that they had
suffered the same captivity, and survived
the same strife; and now the death ofone
or both was to seal that recognition.
They looked on the multitude, and then
again exchanged chances; those Island war
riors who, enemies from their youth, we're
bro't by destiny towash away the remem-
brance of mutual wrongs, for the sport OF
their naughty captors. Amidst the swell
ofItalian voices, the echo oftheir ownhung
upon their memories, and the burning hate
of years expired in thoughts of Britain. OF
their wives and their children-the place
they once held among their people, and
their present degradation. Their features
interpreted their feeling-nelther spoke a

was resolved that, without combat, they
should not reap the honors and rewards
he promised, if they pleased him in the
games. He gave command that they
should be slain, if they persisted in de-
clining the encounter The whole amphi-
theatre was in confusion, the imperial man
date passed from lip TO lip. A band Of
Thracian slaves rushed to its execution,
but they were too late. The two Gladia-
tors had fallen by their own hands.

HAITIAN PARADISE. Mr. Washington
irving observes, in his life of Columbus,
that the Haytians had an idea of place
of reward, TO which the spirits ofgood men
repaired after death, where they were re-
united to the spirits Of those they had most
loved during life, and to all their ancestors.
Here they enjoyed uninteHuptedly, and
in perfection, those pleasures which const-
tuted their felicity, on earth. They lived
in shady and blooming bowers, with beauti-
tful women, and banqueted on delicious
fruits. The Paradise ofthese happy spirits
was yariously placed, almost every tribe
assigning some favonte spot in their native
province. Many, however, concured in
describing this region as being near a lake
in the western part Of the islands, IN the
beautiful province of Xaragua. Here
there were delightful vallies, covered with
q delicate fruit called the Nancy, about the
size ofan apricot. They imagined that the
souls Of the deceased remained concealed
among the airy and inaccessible cliffs Of the
mountains during the day. but descended
at night in these happy valIies, 10 regale on
this consecrated fruit. The living were
sparing, therefore, in eating Oft, lest the
souls Of their friends should suffer from
want Of their fayorite nourIshment.

THE, TENNESSEEAN.

1t will be seen from the following, which we CO.
ny from the Nashville Wing and Banner, that the
writer OF the essays signed 'sTennesseean," pub
lished In this paper. has avowed his name and as
sumed the responsibility of the statements and char
ges against General Jackson. We believe every
thing published under this signature has been prov
ed to the satisfaction Of every unbiased reader; and
we think the writer deserves the thanks and ap-
plause of his fellow-ctzens. He has at great haz-
ard boldly assaulted the Lion in his den, and laid
bare his true character. That the Hero's parti-
zans will attempt to put DR.. Armstrong out OF the
way, or to blacken his character, with view to di
vert public attention from his charges against their
Idol, there can be no doubt. 1t has always been
their course, and sometimes they have assailed the
characters of their victims after they had been des
patched. Instances are fresh in the recollection of
all. Not even the character of General Washing
ton has been held sacred by them,--for Jackson
himself has charged him with the crime of execu-
ting militia men without trial. The accusations
against Mr. Crawford and Mr.. Clay, equally unpro-
vokel and unfounded, are of the same character !;
and DR.. Armstrong need not expect to be made an
exception to their systematic calumny. But for the
information of those who may hear from the paras-
ties of the Hero, much to his prejudice it is butjus
tce to say, that he is gentleman of talents in his
profession, and of rreproachable moral character.
He studied mdicine in this town his character is
held in high respect by gentlemen of the best stand
ing here and since he has resided in Tennessee he
has been elected an honorary member of our Medi-
cal Society.
The editor of the Banner declines to come under
any engagement to publish all that may be written
on both sides of the controversy, but promises very
fairly todoustce to both parties If the whole truth
could be spread before the people of Tennessee,
there would soon be different political feeling in
that state.

TO the Editor of the National Banner and Mask
ellie Whig:
SIR Il acknowledge myself the author of the
several numbers which lately appeared IN the sKen-
lucky Reporter" under the signature of "a Tenn
esseean," relative to the crime, trial and execution
of John Woods-and also in relation to General
Jackson's land speculations.
My object is to give information not to offend
but if certain nersens will take offence, l cannot
help it.
Yours respectfully,

THE JARVIS OUTRAGE.

On Friday last, Mr.. McDuaie, from the Select
Committee, to whom was referred the message of
the President on the subject of the late outrage,
made report, which was laid on the table and or
dered to be printed.
Mr.. P P. Barbour presented also report from
the minority of the same Committee, of which he
was one, which was also laid on the table and order
ed to be printed.
The National Journal says-There are two res
outons appended TO the report of the Select Com
mtee on the subject of the assault, one ofwhich as
sers that breach of privilege has been itted,
which renders the perpetraor obnoxious to the cen
sure of the House, while the other recommends
that there shall be no inrther proceeding the sub

did, we think they hardly be justified IN the eyes

denim and to forgive.

We had yesterday, conversation with a very in
teigent and highly respectable gentleman, a resi-
dent of the state Of Delaware, from whom were
pleased to learn, that the vote of that state, will
certainly go for the Administration, by an increased
majority. The peopl had become sensiby alive to
the danger of entrusting the interests of the country
in the hands of the political adventures who have
rallied under the banners of General Jackson The
citizens of Delaware have always been distinguish
ed for high sense of honor, intelligence and pa
triotism, and they viewed with feelings Of horror
and disgust during the last years. canvass, the level

tacle presented in the persons of their United States

General Metcaye.-The Kentucky Reporter re-
ceved this morning, contains letter from General
Mecalfe, one of the members of Congress from Ken
lucky who voted for MIR. Adams in the House of
Representatives. and who was accused before the
Senate of Kentucky, in its late inqusitorial pro-
ceedings relative to the bargain and sale story,''
of having said something which admitted the ex-
stence of that bargain. This letter clearly estab-
fishes two very interesting points lst that no I'M
Outstanding existed, that if Mr. Clay and his friends
voted for Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Clay would be appointed
Secretary of State and, Cd, that Col. Richard M.
Johnson now Jackson member of the U. States
Senate, and his brother John L. Johnson, after the
election, united with Gen. Metcalfe in urging Mr..
Clay TO accept Of The office Of Secretary Of State.
This John L. Johnson was the one whose whole ties.
timony before the Senate of Kentucky has been 50
much celebrated by the Jackson presses for proving
that General Mecalfe had made admissions con-
irmng the existence of the .'barsain.'
IT is stated in the United States Gazette of PHI
ladep hia, that the Hotel, at which Mr.. Clay stop
ped, was at all hours thronged with visiers and
we glad for the reputation of our city, adds the
same paper, to have it in power to say, that
many of the decided political opponents of the Sc
cretary of State for laid aside their hostility to
unite in paying the merted tribute Of respect.''
The same may be said of many of the jackson
party in Baltimore, for they too went forward and
met Mr.. Clay with cordial salutation, which ope-
rates as severe rebuke upon the conduct Of those
who have lavished upon him the same kind of sour
rty and abuse that they did upon the President on
his arrival here. ib.
