the heroic virtues Of our illusirious an.
cestry, who achieved our liberty. I
cannot but deplofe with deep hnmilia-
ton the wide spread degeaeFacy which
Is 30 rapidly undermining il. The
Federal Government has been for eight
years administered upon prtnci1iss
OF corruption, scarcely disguised, II not
openly avowed, and the effects have
exceeded any thing recorded in the
annals Of nationsl degeneFaey. NV
doubt Of The praeticsbility Of reforming
this corrupt state Of things have gown
stronger and stronger foF the last three
years, and ! can scarcely bring myself
to take the slightest interest in any con
tToysrsy ola party character.
But must cut short these remarks.

THE BLOODY NUPTiALS.
RY 9. ?. Z. JANEs,-TRObI ATTILA.

Arderic and Velamir, followed by large
train of their chiefnobles, had ridden at an
early hour 10 the pavilion of their grea;
leader, to feliciate Attia on his nuptials;
and now they waited with Oheglsus and
Edicon, In an inner apartment Of the pavil-
lion, which served as an antechamber to
that in which the mighty king reposed.
They had remained there several hours;
and while Arderic spoke in louder tone
with Onegisus, Velamir conferred with Ed
icon apart: Doubt and anxiety, however,
were now beginning to cloud the E6dnte'
riances of all; and some OF the inferior at
tendants from time to time looked in, to see
if the kings had yet been admitted to the
presence of their chief.
"This is very stranger' said Arderic at
length: "what may it meant"
at will soon be noon!' said Vel:mir;
"and it is more than strange that he, who
through life has risen daily with the morn
ing light, should show himself thus tardy."
"It were well to wake him." said Onegi-
sus.
SAY, if he may be wakened," muttered
Arderic, drawing back the curtain which
hung over an ornamented door of wood
work. "But what is here?"
Each started forward at this sudden eX-
clamaton, and beheld, welering from un-
derneath the door, like water from the shelf
of rock, and dabbling the rushes with
which the floor was strewed, stream Of
dark gore, which had been concealed by
the curtain. They gazed upon it, and then
