as q natural consequence. Tor thus the
 kingdom of light and darkness were brought into open contest.if Satan was
 ready at every ones cali, to send out his spirits like Swiss mercenaries, 1t became equally necessary for the true believer
 to rise ii stTIi,S against in,n with fire and sword; any wavering on his part was construed into apostacy and he who did not choose to be persecutcd himselfwas driven in seli-detence to become per sccgtor.
 The grand postulate of direct diabol- icaiagency being once assumed and qui- 'etly conceded on all hands, any absurdi- ty whatever was easily engrafted upon it. Satan being thus brought home, as +it were to mems businessand bosoms, ev- cry ere speculated on his habits and de- meanor according to his own light; and soon the insane fancies of minds crazed by nature, disease and misfortunes, echo ed and repeated from all sides, gather ed themselves into a code CT system of faith, which being instilled into the minds with the earliest radiments of ii4- struetion, frttered even the strongest in- tellects with its baleful influence. The mighty minds of Luther, of Calvin and of Knox so quick in detecting error, so undauntcd and fearless in exposing it, yield tamely to its thrall the upright and able Sir Matthew Hale passes sen tence of death, in l664, on two poor women accused of witehcraft, and Sir Thomas Brown, the detector of Vulgar Errors, who is examined as witness or the trial, gives hls opinion that the fits under which the patients had labor cd though natural in themselves, were .sheiehtened by the devil cooperating with the malice of the witches, at whose instance he did the villainiesn' and ap- parently on this evidence chiefly did the conviction proceed.

Duei 6ct7uecn Ciaories 4. of fyance and Ae D,she de Bourbon.-The details of this singular combat, which took place in the year IT'S, {when Charles \. was Count q Artois, was occasioned by d slight misunderstanding between the parties, on a previous night at ball at the Opera House, will be read with pc cuilar interest at the present moment. They are related by two eye-witnesses Of tlLe facts.
 ''Finding that was too late to wit ness the meeting, ] took the first oppor- tunity of stepping aside with the Cheya- Her de Crussel, who had acted as second to the count d'Artois, and begged him to tell me all that had passed-which he did in the following words When we reached the Portes des Princes, I perceived the Duke de Bourbon on foot, surrounded hy several persons. As soon as the count d'Artois perceived the Duke, he got out of the carriage, and went straight up to him, and said, smi- ling, Sir, it is said that you and l are looking for each other" The Duke de Bourbon, taking off his hat, replied ," Sir, ] am here to receive your com mands." ssIn order to execute yoErs,o replied the Prince, you must allow me to return to my carriage Hethen went back to his carriage, and having taken fromit his sword, he rejoined the Duke, and they entered the wood for about 20 paces; they then stopped and each took his station opposite the other, sword in hand. They were on the point of commencing the combat, when the Duke de Bourbon, addressing the Prince said :. s.Perhaps, sir, you do not observe that you stand ina very unfayorabie po- sition, as the sunisdirectly in youreyes :" "Right," said the Prince, "ttheye IS as yet little or no foliage on the trees, and the sun is inconvenient; we shall, how ever, find a shady place in the shadow of yondcr wall. 1t is not far otl--iet us go to it.a Accordingly, each put his naked sword under his arm, they walk ed to the proposed spot, side by side, andconversing together-ifoslowi the count q Artois, and M. de Vibraye fol- lowing the Duke. Every body else re- mained at the Portes des Princes.
 On reaching the wall, NJ. de yibraye reminded the two Princes that they had not put off their spurs, and that the wearing of them might lead to unpleas- ant consequences; therefore took of those of the count, while M. de Yibraye performed the same office forthe Duke, in doing which he had nearly met with d serious accident; for, in rising from his kneeling posture, the point of the dukes sword (which was still under his arm) caught his eye, and was in trille of piercing it tfatallj.
 Their spurs being taken of, the duke ie Bourbon asked the count If he had any objection to his (duke's) taking oil his coat. The proposal was immediate ly agreed to by the count, who took oil his also, and their breasts thus entirely open, the combat commenced. They were long time in position, without ci- thcr of them making q pass. Suddenly however, continued M. de Crussel, saw the blood mount to the cheeks ol the count d Artois, from which l could judge that he was growing impatient. In fact, lie now began to press upon the duke rather violently, with the view, as :ssesned,of causing him to lose his eau

There is not to be found; sir, more cheer fitness, aud more native gaiety, among the population, in any condition in life, than on plantation of slaves, where they are treated well. Moreover, the slaves them- selves know all this and what is more, they feel it. They have none of that sick ly longing for freedom, with distress, pow erty and starvation. repeat it, sir, that there is no portion, do not say of black population, but ofthc peasantry of Europe, or any where else, among whom there is more enjoyment, more hilarity, and more practical civil liberty-.-yes, civil liberty, in its true practical sense, than constantly ex- ists among Southern slaves. As to crimes, they are so rare among them, as to be al- most unknown. In proportion to their numbers there are fewer public crimes committed than among any other people, of any other condition living.
 This is not an exaggerated picture of their condition. Why then have all this slang about emancipation and colonization ? Were the Government able to pay for them, and transport them to Africa, it would be sacrifice of their rights and their happiness. It would be sending them from state ofpeace, and protection, and plenty, to the miserable condition of star vation and butchery. l., sir, will never be inc instrument of setting negro free, or permitting the Government to do so, that he may be consigned to poverty and mis- cry, when am conscious can make him comfortable the rest of his days.

From q Rochester paper.


 2Hs late Col. PL0ft.-Y ou have already heard of the death of Col. Pla,t, Of the Revolutionary army. There were some circumstances connected with his last days, of a very affecting character. Like most of the gentlemen of the old school, the Colonel became reduced in his decline of life. He was one of the pensioners under the act of lS28.s The pensions are drawn every six months, and it is one of the just and generous constructions of the law, that if a pensioner dies any time between the scmi-annual days of payment, his widow and children are debarred from drawing what is actually due from the last payment day up to the day ofthe pensioners death. Col. Platt had been declining for a long time---he was aware that death was rapid- ly approaching him-and his sole prayer (for this life) was that he might be spared until the third of March, ,(the pension day. that he might leave to his wife the six inSrtdnIg- Ile day oI ms ueaVu, me IeeUle old man, when he awoke, inquired the day of the month, has the Sd of March come ?'' When it did como, he had him- self raised in. the bed, friend was called in and the papers instantly prepared. On attempting to put his signature to them, it was found that he was too feeble to write his name-he was obliged to make his mark, which was duly attcsted, and the pension was secured. Thank heaven !'' said the veteran, as he sunk down exhaus- ted on his pillow. Before the next mor- ming dawned, the old warrior lay stiff in death! That high heroic soul which sus- tained the frame of the young soldier through seven years toil and privation, up- held the wasted body of the old man, until his generous object was accomplished, and then it fled to purer and better world.

MALT LIQUORS.


 Malt liquors, when of good quality, and drunk in moderation, constitute, for many persons, an innocent and wholesome beverage. Their immoderate use is attend ed, however, with the most injurious con- sequences. They who indulge in malt li- quors to excess, become in general corpu- lent from languid circulation but the fat which accumulates, often to great extent, is very unhealthy. When inflammation attacks such individuals, it is of species which soon runs into mortifcation. In consequence of the languid circulation of the blood, occasioned by the narcotic ef- fccts of the hop, or in sophisticated porter of more deleterious ingredients, the veins become overloaded with blood, particular ly those in the brain--giddinssS and, not unfrequently, in the end, apoplexy is tho consequence. The temperature of the body is below the natural standard-that of the feet and legs is often fiffeen degrees lower than that of the centre of the trunk. When the liquor begins to act injuriously on the stomach, the memory loses its pow CT ofretaining recent impressions; and the inferior limbs, if an accumulation of a wa- tery fluid does not take place beneath the skin, become emaciated and fiabby' When apoplexy does not terminate lie, disease generally takes in the organs sub- servient to digestion, and speedily prove. fatal. If the individual who, like Boniface ss eats, drinks ,and sleeps" upon ale, beer oi uorter. escapes one or other Of the foregO- ! ing nalad:es, he will probably fall sacri. fec to general dropsy, attended with dis. ease of the main artery, or ths vessell which .nourish the heart.
