this nation ever demanded more wisdom,
moderation, and frmpcss than the pres
ent-we owe 1t to the memory of our
Fathers, to ourselves, TO posterity, to
our Country, and to the principles OF
free Government and equal laws through
out the world. One OF the centre Inks
in the proud chain that connects the
Union, threatens to give way-and the
application of compromise on the one
hand, or Of force on the other, are
each fraught with difficulties and per-
hnps danger-that, the former may first
be resorted to and the experiment made
with an honest lberality and generous
forbearance by the counsels of the Ma
ton, we are not without hope.
That South Carolina has assumed a
menacing attitude, far above what the
occasion demanded, must we think, be
apparent TO every uDprejudiced specta-
tor--but we must meet the crisis as we
find it--they have famed an honest
warmth into consuming flame. But
still, if that gallant and highminded peo-
ple-stung by what they believe to be
repeated injuries and insults, have made
shipwreck of Reason and Prudence,
they may, and ought if possible, to be so
treated, as to subdue and conquer their
affections, rather than exact Of them
alleance at the point Of the bayonet.

ATRoCIoUs MURDER.-On the 2lst in
stant our village was pulluted by one of
the most atrocious, barbarous and un-
natural murders that has ever fallen un-
der our observation-that murder of a
wife by her own husband The cause,
if indeed there was any, is yet mystery.
The circumstances attending this hor-
rible affair, as far as they have come TO
our knowledge, are as follows:
Oran Riley, an irishman of intemper-
ate habits, whose hovel a1ds Situated in
the outskirts of the village, went home
between 8 and o'clock in the evening.
and at the time appeared free from III
toxication, as is affirmed by female
neighbor who had but few moments
previous entered the dwelling on an err
rand He took up his youngest child.
about 8 or 10 months old, and after kiss
ing it repeatedly, replaced it on the floor
near the fire, from whence it'was taken
up by the neighbor above mentioned.
La the meantime, the wife, who is repre-
sented by all who knew her asa peacea-
BILE, harmless, afiectionate and indus
trious woman, was at ending to her little
domestic duties, and after taking off
kettle in which she had been boiling
clothes, was in the act of putting over
another kettle for the purpose of cook
ing, when the fiend in human shape
stepped up behind her, took her by the
head, and with razor deliberately cut
her throat from ear to ear. The neigh
bor felt the blood spirt upon her hand,
and supposing that. he had struck his
wife, without suspecting the enormity
of bis crime, ran out for assistance.
When that assistance was obtained, a
period of perhaps IS or 30 minutes, she
was discovered upon the floor, entirely
lifeless, with the inhuman wretch by her
side. On being observed, he attempted,
with the same razor, to cut bis own
throat. In this, however, he did not
succeed; for although the windpipe was
nearly severed, and several of the mino r
arteries were cut off, it is believed that
he will speedily recover.
We yesterday morning went to the
scene ofthe outrage, and never have we
witnessed any thing so truly appalling
her head literally severed from her body.
For him (he was then lying on bed in
the same room with his murdered wife)
we have no sympathy.
Five small children, the oldest about
eight years and the youngest between
eight and ten months, have, by this dia-
bolcal deed, been deprived of kind aud
affectionate mother, and the stain of de-
liberate murder, for the first time, we be-
lieve, has been attached to our county.
Last night the hut in which this miser-
able being formerly resieed was burnt to
the ground, that not relic may remain.of
the foul transaction.
He is in custody, awaiting his trial, at
the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which
holds its session next month.

feet six inches in length, and eigh, inch
in diameter the weight of one was as
much as two men could lift the outside

THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.-By the last
arrival from England, we learn, says the
N. Y. Courier, that accounts had been
received there of the prevalence Of The
Plague, at Bashire, aud that its ravages
were of the most dreadful description.
The disease had almost depopula,ed the
district, the deaths having amounted TO
from $50 to 300 a day. II commenced
by great weakness, and the sufferers
were then attacked with swelling IN the
groin, the armpits, and back, the pain
arising from which was excessive, and
continued until death put an end to their
misery. At one time there were 1000
bodies unburied 10 the public streets.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Our readers will find in our paper of
to-day the 4th Annual Message of Gen.
Jackson to both Houses Oft the 22d Con-
gress. An attentive perusal of it will
well compensate the omission of con-
siderable variety of other matter.
Like other documents of similar
character which have emanated from the
patriotic miad of It's ilusirions author
The present Message will be read with
perhaps greater interest than any that
has preceded il since the adoption ofthe
Federal Constitution. The peculiarly
interesting aspect ofpublic affairs arising
from the circumstances that the crisis is
rapidly approaching when certain great
and fundamental questions of national
policy must either for veal or woe be per-
manen,ly settled, ,bestows degree of i'm
portance upon the Message which (asldo
from its superior merits in other respects)
will be deeply felt by every American
citizen. Fortunate however is it for the
prosperity of our beloved country, and
the permanency of our republican insti-
tutions that we have a pilot at the helm
who If mortal man can do it will safely
steer the ship STATE betwe y he Scyl liza
of Notification and the Charybdls of the
falsely styled American System, without
haZardingihe loss of even single spar.
The man who in war was the Lion of
our defence, has proved himself in peace
the safest depositary ofa nations dearest
interests. How enviable the feelings of
Andrew Jackson! Yet we do not find
that prosperity almost unexampled in the
annals of the world, has any other effect
than to increase his patriotism and anxie-
are best calculated to secure the tran
guilty and happiness of this young and
flourishing republic. With an eye stead
Ily fixed upon these objects as the end of
his glorious career as public servant he
heeds not the threats of even personal
violence which the malgnity ofhis oppo-
nents have uttered but his course is on
ward and his f:ture career hailed by his
country as the harbirger of great and cer-
tain benefit to every portion ofthe Union.
