have been in the Generak instead Of that
stern, fierce and dictatorial spirit, which
had been led to believe he possessed, /
think the reverse Of these traits of charac-
ter may be perceiyed--a temper moderated
by age and assuaged by caIamities-a
mind Frustrated by old age and imbeciled
by infrmities-with an entire distrust of
his own abilities. ne relies solely on the en-
ergies of others. Confrmatory of the
wane of his mental powers, is a circum-
stance that happened some short time since,
and in the correctness of which implicit
confidence may be placed. A very dis
tinguished clergyman from the north, who
had been a warm supporter of the Gener-
ais election, and had exerted himself with
much zeal to that effect, was induced to
visit Washington. Wishing to call upon
the President and render himself acqualnt-
ed. he procured letters of introduction with
design to visit him. On his arrival at
this place and the announcement of his APP
pointment to preach, large crowds focked
to hear him-among others was the Gen
eral. He was very politely invited by the
President to call upon him. The invita-
ton was accepted and the time appointed.
However previous to his going he enclosed
to to the General his Introductory letters,
believing it would procure him a more re-
spectacle admission into his company, by
giving him better information of his char
acter. The time errived and his reverence
was introduced, accompanied by one OF
his professional brethren, who was an lnt-
mate friend of the Generals. After the usu-
al ceremonies were passed, the General en-
tered very freely into conversation, but
scarcely Is minutes had elapsed before he
interrupted the Clergyman, with
"what may be your name sir?"-"where
are you from sirl"-to which he replied
by giving his name and place of residence
a second time. believe, (said the Gener-
al, pausing, lhere is only one office va
cant in that town, and will examine your
claims to it. Indeed said the Clergyman,
| do not want an office General. | have
only come TO pay you friendly visit. The
General begged his pardon, and again en-
tered into conversation but in less than
an hour after, he put again the same inter
rogatories, accompanied with the same
"that there was only one office
vacant in his town, and that his claims to
it should be canvassed.' The Clergyman
then with much confusion reminded him of
the Introductory letters he had sent him the
day before, hoping thereby to relieve his
mind of the impression that he came to
seek an Office. Yes, said the President |
have received them, but have not as yet
examined them--I had them filed and will
examine them in their turn, there being
several applicants before you" 1t would
be needless to say that this heretofore warm
and efficient friend of the Generals, left
him perfectly satisfied that such was the
superanuated state of his mind, as to rem
der him totally disqualified for the duties
IF his office.

pathy manifested was such, that the voice
of Philadelphia was simultaneously in ia
vorof a pardon. Accordingly a petition
was prepared, signed by thousands, and
through the influence offriends an audi
enco was solicited of the President, and
acquiescedn.-Upon adyisement, howev
or 1t was considered of vital importance to
the fate Of Fries, that his consort, accom-
panied by her numerous progeny should
present the petition. A few confidential
persons conducted her 10 the presence Mr..
Adams; as soon as they approached him,
the aged matron with her nine children
and one at her breast, kneeled before the
President, and that humble posture sued
for the life of her husband and the father
Of her innocent children. Upon this pre-
sentatlon, the President became so senslbly
affected, that tears, in great protusion flow
cd down his manly cheeks, his utterance
was completely choked, aud with stream
ing eyes and hands raised up towards hen
ven, he rushed from the room of audience
to his closet, and returned and presented
Mrs. Fries, with free and full pardon for
her husband"

En- MAN.


On the evening of the Sth inst. as we
were coming from Leroy to this place, IN
the Pioneer, the night being extremely
dark, we discovered, for some distance
before we reached Aliens creek, in Wheat
land, that dog not known by any Of the
passengers, was frequently running about
the sides ofthe carriags and evidently very
uneasy, and seeming to look with deep IN
terest for some notice of the passengers
within. When we had come up within ten
or twelve rods Of the creek, the dog got
before the stage and in the middle of the
road set up a most earnest barking and
CRYING, which attracted the notice of the
passengers and driver, who apprehendlng
that all this concern of the strange dog
might mean something, stopped his horses,
and looking under his carriage, and with
IN six inches Of his wheel, saw a man lying
across the road in such a position, that
had he drove two feet further, the wheel
must have passed directly over the neck
of the poor creature, aud terminated his
existence. The man was old and grey
headed and the secret of his exposure was,
he was drunk, so drunk that when arous-
ed he could not speak. As soon as he
was drawn out from under the coach, the
faithful dog appeared in an ecstacy ofJoy--
his first motion was TO stretch himself out
at full length upon his beastlY master,

The Combymaa and the Beadle.-A

a countryman, because it was deficient in
weight; and meeting HIM few days after
IN a public house, said to him, You're

money was quickly posted; Now says
the couutryman, thou didst take away
twenty Jumps of butter from me, but if
there had been twenty pounds, you'd had
no right to take them, and this, continued
he very cody pocketing the money, will

he has, sure enough" said the honest
neighbor, taking two guilds Of pig tail in
three seconds, ''and yet I'll be darn'd and
roasted alive if he doesn't look as much
