Mr.. George Bancroft, Of Mass. we'll known
MS a leader of the Loco foco and Fanny
Wright branch of the Van Buren, party in
that State, and for the perversion Of acknow-
ledge literary talents to the lowest political
uses, has been rather unfortunate in kis at
tempt to hulnbug the public by story, that
Mr.. Madison had a5owed himself in the last
years of his life hostile to the Wings both of
the North and the South. The falsehOod Of
such representation was sufficiently palpa-
BILE, but it is gratifying to see it put down by
the near neighbors and ntinte friends Of
Mr.. NJ. to whom, if to any, he would ul'bosom
himself freely. Speaking Of Bancroit's CAL
umny, in his recent Eulogy on Mr.. Madison,
delivered before the citizens of Orange, WAY
Gov JAMES BARBOUR, his intimate friend and
neighboT, remarks:-
! 1t was my fixed purpose to avoid mixing
up the memory of Madison with the wretched
politics Of the day; but | am so far driven from
my purpose as to be compelled, from the
sacrcdness of the trust which has been as
signed me, t. vindicate his memory from the
sspersions which recently have been thrown
upon it in asserting that he approved of the
prominent measures pursued in the late
course of public affairs. You who have been
favored with his confidence distinctly know
that such an assertion is a caumny, and. so
far from having the least shadow Of toun-
dation, is directly the reverse of the truth
You also know his often expressed wish was.
that his quiet in the evening of life should
not be disturbed by his name and his opinions
becoming the subjects of partisan warfare
While, therefore, he freely but conidentially
communicated with his friends on public
measures, he abstained with strangers. He
was content that his views, whatever they
might be worth to his countrymen, might be
inferred from the whole course OF his life, and
from his recorded opinions.

THE PROSPECT.

We would call particular attention to the
following article from the National lntclll-
gencer of "Wednesday last. The view 1t
takes of our National Prospects is not only
most encouraging, but sustained by facts
which cannot be denied or explained away
At no time within the last eight years have
the true Republicans of our Country had as
much reason for congratulating themselves
on their fidelity to principle, or az powerful
motives tor perseverance, in 1t, % ut the pre-
sent moment. In the Elections, thus far,
their steady but not clamorous opposition to-
the schemes of the Spoilers, and to the die
tation from the palace, has been rewarded
with success which their opponents did not
anticipate, and which las thrown into con-
fusion the best disciplined of their sqnadrons.
The returns Of the State elections which hive
been already held, show, beyond reasonable
doubt, that the nominees Of the Baltimore
Convention for President and Vice President
will lose the votes Of the People of the fol-
lowing States, viz.

Affecting Circumstance On Saturday,
n very respectable married lady, named
Mrs. Hathaway, was brought to the
Aims House with her infant to be taken
care of and protected. She had come
with her husband hither, between two
and three weeks since, from Johns,own,
Montgomery county, for the purpose Of
settling in this city, bringing their furni-
ture with them, packed up in large box
es; but being unable to procure suitable
apartments for their comfortable accom-
modation here, they stored their lurni-
ture, and took lodgings in Brooklyn,
where they subsequently resided. On
Tuesday morning last, MIR. Hathaway
embarked at Brooklyn in the steam fer
ry boat, Gen. Jackson, with SiOO in his
pocket, aud the boat being run down by
the steamboat Boston, he was one Of
those who sunk in her, and his body has
not yet been found. The distress pro-
duced by this affecting stroke, threw her
into violent convulsive fits, which have
since been of dali y recurrence, and have
produced the distressing effect Of partial
insanity. In this state, she stole away
from those who were watching over her,
and getting out into the street with her
child in her arms, started as she said To
return 10 Jobnstown, where she has very
respectable relatives residing. but was
found and conveyed To the Aims House
as above stated. In the interim OF her

which relates to the disgraceiul Indian

his final determination to retire to private
life after the expiration Of the term for

voice which has been so often hear! in

THE RAGE FOR SpEcULATIoN.-The New
York Evening STAR in recent article reat-
Ing to the failure of Mr. Rathbun of Buffalo,
INDUCES in the following very excellent re-
marks:
"The case of Mr.. Rathbun is calculated to
make, and should make, a deep impression on
all who are engaged in or wish to plunge in
ito extensive speculahons. This spirit is
spreading like pestilence over the land, Civ
ing almost to every thing a fictitious value
and importance, and inOculatng almost every
man with that deadly venom called AvARicE,
which urges them to make attempts to achieve
fortune suddenly, which should he the re-
suit of time, economy and industry.
This disposition to become suddenly rich
and die suddenly rich, is species ofnsanty
"a mOnOmdnid, which man should quickly
shake off, and Danish the idea the moment it
presents itself to the imagination, Is it fit
that man should plunge into every specula-
ton, run every kind Of risk-pass sleepless
nights and comfortess days in the acquire
ment of vast wcatl-and for what? to die,
and leave it to eXtravagant sons, who, not
knowing the value of money, waste it in fol-
ly and dissipation. We would not dccry en-
terprize; we would not wish to check pru-
dent, discreet, t,calculating spirit ofspecuation,
but we do protest against AvAGICE, the old
mans curse.
Jet US be cOnfcHi-use what we have So
berly end dlscreetly. and endeavor. by indus
try and labor, to acquire more; but let us not
be carried away in this whi,iwind and tenn
pest Of speculation, which, if it makes one
man, 1t unmakes twenty. Let things take
TIER natural and proper course, and, thank
heaven, even in that way we all go ahead
fast enough, without encouraging this hot bed,
forcing system Of spccula,on-this anxious,
driving, craving desire to make money
rapidly.
| 1t is hoped that the people of Buffalo will
take such steps as will prevent that truly
ffourishing and valuable city from suffering
any depression by this untoward event.

SOCIAL DUTIEs.--Some of the purest on
joyments Of this life flow from the perform.
ance Of those duties which every man, and
especially every christian, owes to his fellows.
TO do good unto others, as we have opportu-
nifty, is both'a christian and a civil duty
from which much, if not the most of our in
dividnal happiness as well as that of society
depends. Individuals and communities are
mutually dependent upon each other for
business, for the means Of subsistence, and
for the social enjoyments Of life. But these
with christian and benevolent motives. if we
would derive from them that pure and gem
uinc enjoyment which n discharge of them is
designed to impart. We are too prone to
envy our neighbor his success, to be jealous
of his prosperity, instead Of rejoicing with
him and con".c naing him for whatever is
meritOriO0s.
The influence of good example, practising
the charities of life, and kind and friendly
department will do much TO correct bad hab-
its and elevate the character and enjoy me nts
of society. We can never coerce men to
feel or practise the virtues which adorn life.
We must illustrate their benign influence in
our daily walk and conversation, if we would
impart to others their pure felicity. The
pomp of titles and the pride of wealth may,
! and do impose undue influence over weak,
ignorant, and corrupt minds---but virtue is
the only true title of nobilny--and therc can
be no real enjoyment without it, Fail Rire,
