+ The melancholy fate of the HORNET being
now certain, the public may we'll indulge in
sympathetic grief with The relatives and frie nds
Of the noble fellows who, with her, have found
wa,ery grave. The loss Of the ship to the
natiorsis nothing in comparison with The loss
OF the brave men who have persisted. The
Imagination loves not to dwell on the horrors
OF that fearful tempest in which the ship went
down; nor would we attempt the picture which
might be sketched. I, is enough 10 know the
worst, without lingering upon its dread reali-
ties.
AMong those who have been cut off by this
CHAREs A. CASELL, late a resident Of this place,
The ties Of friendship, now sundered by death,
will not permit US to pass by this bereavement
without remark. He entered the Navy in
the pride Of youth, and looked forward 10 emi-
nenee in future life. He was full Of promise
Warm hearted and generous, kind and aatc'
tionate, his friends confidently calculated that
he would equal their expectations. But alas!
an other destiny awaited him. His frHvoyage
was DIES ined to be his last The gallant ship
| which bore him to the main, was fatec never to
return; and the consolation only is left US, thai
he died in the service OF his country.
We will not continue Logger upon atheme Sc
painful tc' US. The remembrance Of CANELI
will long be cherished by his friends, for il W.:
| BY them he was most valued, and his loss mos
dep,ored.
! Ever since the grea, effarl made by Mr.
| WEBSTER in the Senate. IN which he so nobl!
vindis ated his conduc' aud actions, and 50 tri'
umphantly beat down his sssailants, the attack.
upon him by the Combination have been inces
san, aud malicious. To all these Mr.. WEE
STEM might well reply:
rraduc'd BY ignorant tongues which neither know
My faculties nor person, yet vii be
The chronicles Of my aoing-let me say,
Ills but the fate of place, and the rough brake
That virtue must so through"
The very fact thu, these attacks are made al
this time, is proof ,ha, every arrow discharge
from his culver penetrated. And we know
that the furious assaults tina, are made can ne
yer deter NJ. WEBSTER from the firm and in
derend.nt discharge If his duy. He acts upor
high principles, and remembers that
| "We must not stint
Our necessary actions, in the fear
| To cope malicious censurers; which ever,
As rsveaous fishes. do vessel follow
That is new trimm'd; but benefit no further
Than vsnly longing. If we stand still,
In fear our motion viii be mock'd or carp'd at
