C,ockettiana. The St. Louis Re.
publican says, 1t is related Of Hon, Da-
vid Crockett, that when asked what prob
ability there was Of the election Of DR.,
Sutherland to the Speakers Chair, he re-
plied-', No probability at all; can not G.
zen smell the track" The same eccentric
gentleman was urged to pay visit to this
city. He answered that nothing would
afford him more pleasure, but that he
should be unable to come until after the
adjournment Of Congress. "In these Pc
rilous times gentlemant,' said he, every
horse mast stand up to the rae K, fodder or
no jodder."
!. Col, Crockett was walking few days
since near the capitol, in company with
distinguished member from the Empire
State, when Mr.. Ven Buren, approached d
them. "Allow me- said the member to

FOR THE ST AR.

Mn. EDIroR:-By referring to the SD num-
Der Of the " Woonsocket Patriot you may find
another literary curiosity from the pen ofn, friend
" Vrgnius." He begius-as in duty bound
with delicate compliment on the general merits
of the " Northern Star" and then in - s'"wng
terms expresses his gratitude for the notice taken
by that paper, Of his humble production on ,he
subjec Of State Constitution. All this il. un-
doubtedly, very decorous. Callow politicians, like
" "" often write quires, without eliciting a sim
gle remark exciting the most trivial notice. In
vain they frequently embesh rickety paragraphs
with great names, such As " virginius,'' " Slen-
DER" " Shallow" d" Gobble," &c. Too often,
for peace Of mind, their 4" sweetness 10 wasted on
the desert air % But such was not the fate Of
+" W.; and he seems in his " second attempt" to
feel, in some measure, the proud distinction. "But
alas !" all this fair show Of incipient grateful O
motion, but aatters to deceive, like the morning
cloud il is gone. His very next period. by q sud-
den transition, such as little great minds are "a
miliar with, is made to reproach the good people
' residing within the sphere ofihs Northern star.''

CONSTITUTIONAL Reform. A cotempora-
ry thus speaks Of our struggle for Libe.ty and E
quail Lights" in this State. We perceive. says he,
that the Rhode Island Editors are warmly discuss-
ing this subject. We are glad to see it-Aristoc-
racy has been too long predominant in Rhode ISL
and. The monied part Of her population have
hitherto controledh her dsssiniss aud yhe elective
franchise, that boast and pride Of orr countrymep,
has been denied to the honest and industrious poor.
Rhode Island is the last foothold Of Aristocracy,
but her freeborn and chainess spirits will NO long
er bow to the supremacy Of wealth they are ris-
ing up in heirstrength & we bid them God speed.
The mechanics Of the Stats-the laboring classes
ofthe community have been the greatest sufferers,
from the unjust regulation, and they have borne
their injuries until forbearance has become GRIMM
al. But the day Of their emancipation is at hand
the cause ofthe people is mighty and will prevail

A Scene in the Senate Chamber. -

A Scene in the Senate Chamber "A
correspondent Of the U. s. Gazette Phil
adelphta) gives the following account OF
scene which occurred in the Senate
Chamber on Monday last A person in
one Of the galleries, having the appear
ance of preacher, suddenly shouted out
from the front Of the gallery, just as mr.
Webster was engaged in the presentation
Of memorial-"My friends, the country
is on the brink of destruction. BE sure
you act on correct principles. l warn
you to act as your consciences may ap-
prove. God is looking downupon you,
and, ifyou act on correct principles, you
will get safely through" As soon as he
had made an end Of his brief oration, he
very leisurely stepped back and made his
way out of the gallery, before the officers
Of the house had time to reach him. The
President and Senate were all taken una
wares and it was some time before the
usual tranquility Of the body, and the
spectators, was restored.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEAru.-
We understand that few nights since, a
lot of oiled cloths in the store Of MIR. j.
Parsons Eastern Point, took fire sponta-
neonsly, and were consumed. The fire
went out without communicating to the
store, although the heat was sufficiently
intense to melt the handle of canister of
powder which stood in the immediate
neighborhood of the burning clothes. -
Had the powder ignited, which would in
evitably have been the result had the fire
spread, the persons who slept in the room
above must have perished.

udWo came q ~ end took 10 b. The hand
ond led ~ into one ofth6ir wigwams
where We said undisturbsd until they al
eouId pack up and start, which they die
in very short time. We now all took
up che lins Of march together, and rode
until obest midnight, when We slopped.-
we wore sgainSssparsted, and had not
ths satisfacsl0n Of sleeping together
Next morning, which was the fourth day
Of our captivity, they cleared of place
aAcen or twenty feet round and stuck q
pole down in the middle q it. We were,
~ stated before, again placed in the
midst, and they danced around Us. still
singing their war song.
They here staid all day, and the next
morning took up their line ofmarch again,
and mnrched on until late in the sveN(hg,,
VIXEN they sgain cleared off another place
as before, and placing us in il, commenc-
cd dancing around US, making US kneel
down, and bow our faces to the earth.-
Here once more, from actions, we thought
we were going to be killed which we
would almost az soon they would have
done az not, for we were nearly exhaust
ID with fatigue, on account Of the long
and forced marches that we had made
Next moraing, which was the sixth day,
We were again mounted on our horses,
and marched till in the afternoon, when
they again stopped and went through the
same wretched and disagreeable ceremo-
ny Of clearing off place, and dancing
and singing around, while the squaws and
young ones were generally engaged when
we stopped, ia gatheIng roots, which was
our principal diet. When they killed my
father and mother, and the rest Of the
families, they took what coffee there was
in the houses, parched it, and made it in
the same manner that white people do
we frequently got some Of it 10 drink
while d lasted. On the next day, four
Winnebago Indians came to the place
where we were encamped. Here long
council was held with the principal war
chiefs OF head men ofthe nation. After
che talk was over, one of the Sacs came
and took me by the hand, and led me up
20 where the Winnebagoes were seated,
and where they had been for some time in
council. The four Winnebagoes then all
arose and shook me by the hand. Then
one ofthem made signs for me to sit down
by him, which did. He then told me
by signs that belonged to him, ard gave
me to understand, in the same way that
must 60 along with him. ! then asked
him il they were not going to let my sis
ter 60 with me, which he understood. l.
now discovered that had been purchas-
cd, but Rachel had not. The Indians
who had purchased me, again renewed
their talk with the Sacs and Foxes. Here
another council was held, and much
warmth appeared to be excited on both
sides. Thought several times they would
not succeed in getting my sister. But at
the close of the talk they came to where
4 was, leading Rachael by the hand, and
oct her down by me. This was about an
hour by the sun in the evening. A num-
ber Of Sac and Fox Indians now came
and shook us BY the hands, aad bid ~
good bye.

OLIVER STARKwEATHR, Esq.--The
decease Of Oliver Starkweather is no
common event in the history Of Pawtuck-
ct. Mr. Starkweather accumulated a
large fortune by the labor Of his hands
and conciliated the regard Of his acquaint-
ance by the sincerity Of his friendship and
goodness Of his heart.
He has been described as a man OF
liberal and generous character, lavishing
his wealth upon the afflicted and mercilu-
ly binding up the wounds of the unhappy.
He was honored as a citizen; respected
as man, and beloved as christian.

Sacr;lege.-A young gentleman recent
ly died at Newburyport, requesting in his
last moments that gold breast pin which
had been presented him BY young lady
whom death had torn from him, might be
buried with him. The request was re-
ligiously complied with, and the pin de-
posted in his coffin. The sanctity ofthe
grave, however, was violated, and the
pin stolen by an. individual Of that town,
who had short time before, made a
public profession Of religion He has
since made a public confession Of the
deed, and "asked pardon both Of God and
man for the rash act :" but il is much to
be doubted whether this confession will
restore him to general confidence. II is
much easier to preserve good character
than to regain Q lost one.

proved that the spsrcbists had determined
to conn en- nsosSs. In fact, vbey made
their appearance about IL O'clock. "A
man read an incendiary address, and in a
few minutes afterwards the barricade was
bugun. The Perfect without moments
he station, gave orders for their being
destfoyed.-L Galignan;'s Messenger, 12th
.apriI.
Major General Buchet, who commands
the department Of the Bouches-du-R -Rhone,
under General Aimard, directly brought
the troops forward. The Gendarmerie
under Col. Ganuet, and the Infantry,
assailed the barricades with the most
determined resolution and carried them
under brisk fire. The Perfect never
quilted the troops during the action The
barricades were all thrown down as soon
as they were raised, but still there were a
greet many seriously wounded, and some
killed, but tho greatest loss was not on
the side Of the troops. The severest
part Of the action took place in the Pal
ace de la Prefecture. The anarchists
found solid entrenchment in the new tenn
porary hall, and il became necessary to
beat down the palisades with cannon shot.
They were soon destroyed, and those who
had endeavored TO defend them were pu,
10 fight. The place was then entered
by the troops, and long exchange of
musketry ensued between the soIdiery
and the insurgent, who had stationed
themselves in what is called the Organ
gallery.-Cannon were again used, the
gallery was forced from the alley, and en-
tered. A house filled with rioters and
armed with muskets, was burst open by
means Of petards. A great number Of
prisoners were taken, some wounded, and
others backened with gunpowder. Al
every point the troops had the advantage.
Other engagements took place on the
bridges, at the Place des Terreavx, and
at La Croix Rousse.
The cannon and musketry were firing
for several hours together in the midst OF
this commercial city, where nothing
would be heard but the sound ofthe looms,
if factions had not attempted to put stop
to them. During contest of five hours
the troops displayed a frmness which
must put an end to the criminal hopes OF
those who, it is said, relied on their de-
fection. The military and civil authori-
ties rivalled each other in zeal and devo-
tedness. 1t is painful to Lave 10 bestow
upon them this praise, but it is duty to
do honor to those who most expose their
lives for the maintenance Of order and
the laws. AT four o'clock the action
ceased. Some few musket shots resound-
ed afterwards at intervals in the streets
in the centre Of the town. The troops
were in repose. The Government has
not received any telegraphic despatch
since that Of yesterday morning which
that Gen. Aimard was in full
possession of all the positions, but to-day
no telegraphic communication could come
beyond Semur. Dispatches from all the
country, as well as from. St.
Etienne, Macon. and Dion, announce
that all was quiet there"
