Intelligencer, while admitting that Gen.
Duncan VAS elected tn Congress Ways
as n Jackson man, preteuds that If he be
elected as Go;ernor Of Iiliu"is II will be
as an nnii-Jucksnn man. This is GER
iainly the first public annunciarion that
Gen. Duncan has abandoned his profess
sion and jnlned the coallIlon-and # 1t
be authorized by him, he has ceriainly
practised gross deception upon the
people uf his Stale. He obtained thou
sands Of votes upon the supposltIon of
his being friend 10 ,he administration.
We believe all the prominent candi-
dates Tor Congress, in this State, have
declared IN favor of the administration.
Nr, Casey, who is q most Jealous aud
deservedly influential sul porter of the
president, in the present Congress, is
ye-eiected To the next, over auo,h"r, who
pledged himself in favor of the admins
traiion, but obtained the opposition vote,
Il is not ascertained who IL elected from
the Other Districts. From the returns,
as far as received, those most di>tln-
guished for strenuous support of the
President are ahead-and Joseph Sur
face calls it fourth whg vi tory !
Deception seems now tu be the great
characteristic Of the opposition. They
make false professions of principles, rs
sumo false name, canvass by circula'
la,ing false reports-and when the issue
is decided by an election. they give q
false account of the RESULT Globe.

unyiedng on all visionary projects, and all unwor-
thy calls on his charity. His heart not warm

stature exactly what one would wish, his department
easy, erect, and noble the best horseman of his age,
and the most graceful figure that could be seen on
horseback. Although in the circle of his friends,
where he might be unreserved with safety, he took
free share in conversation, his colloquial talents
were not above mediocrity, possessing neither copi-
BUSINESS of ideas, nor fiuency of words. In public,
when called Oh for a sudden opinion, he was
ready, short and embarrassed Yet he wrote readily,
rather difiusely, IN easy and correct STYLE This
he had acquired by conversation with the world for
his education was merely reading, writing, and COM
mon arithmetic, to which he added surveying at a
later day. His time was employed in action chiefly
reading little, and that only in agriculture and his
tory. His correspondence became necessarily ex-
tensve, and, with journalsing his agricultural pro-
ceedings, occupied most of his leisure hours within
doors. On the whole, his character was, i'll its mass
perfect, in nothing bad i'll few points Indifferent;
and it may truly be said that did nature and
fortune combine more perfectly to make aman great,
and to place him in the constellation with what
ever worthless have merited from man everlasting
remembrance. For his was the singular destiny
and merit of leading the armies of his country
ccssflly through arduous war, for the establish
ment of its independence; of conducting its
ellis through the birth of government in its
forms and principles, until it had settled down into
quiet and orderly train; and of scrupuOusly obey
ing the laws through the whole of his career, civil
and military, of which the history of the world fur

MARRIAGE.

Marriage is to woman at once the happest
and the saddest event of her life it is the promise of
future bliss, raised the death of all present enjoy
ment. She quits her hOme-her parents-her COM
paniOns-her Occupatons-her amusements-every
thing on which she has hitherto depended for COM
fOrt--for affecton-for kindness-for pleasure The
parents by whose advise she has been guided-the
sister to whom she has dared impart the every en-
bryo thought and feeing-the brother who has play
ed with her. by turns the counsellor and the coun-
selled-and the younger children, to whom she has
hitherto been the mother and the playmate-all are
to be forsaken at fell stroke; every former tie
oosened-the spring oevery action is to be changed
and yet she flies with JOY into the untrodden path
before her; buoyed up by the confidence of requit-
ed love, she bids fond and grateful adeu to the
life that is past, and turns with excited hopes and
joyous anticipation the happiness to come. Then
woe to the man who blight such fair hopes
who can treacherously lure such heart from its
peaceful enjoyment, and the watchful protection of
home-who can, cowardlle, break the illusions that
have won her, and destroy the confidence which
love had inspired Woe to him who has too early
Withdrawn the tender plant from the props and stays
of moral discipline in which she has been nurturcd,
and yet make no effort to supply their places; for
on him the responsibility of her errors-on him who
has first taught her, by his example to- grow care
less of her duty, and then exposed her with weak
ened spirit, and unsatsfied heart, the wide storms
and the willy temptations of a sinful world.'
