INTEMPERANoE AND MURDER. /. !.

On Thursday last the Sd inst. an inquest
was held by Isaac T.. Dodson, Esq. at Mes
quehoning, over the body of Mrs. A. Coyle.
wife Of Thomas Coyle, who suddenly died
that morning under suspicious circumstan-
ces. The facts as elected by the inquest
were that Mr.. and Mrs. M'Naily, in whose
shantee Coyle and his wife boarded-the
whole of whom were addicted to intempe-
rate habits-that on Sunday evening The
29th OF April, Coyle being absent, Mrs.
M'Nally in a fit of jealousy and intemper-
ance struck Mrs. Coyle several times ON
the temples with fire poker inAicting Sc
we're cOntusions--Coyle returned that nioht
and commenced a series of brutal outraSes
on the person of his wife, and repeated
them at intervals for several days, when his
wife was found dead in the morning.
We forbear adding any further particu-
lars Of this inhuman affair, as it will be re.
ierred to the proper tribunals, to whose de-
csion we will leave the subject. We do
this in order that no prejudice may be Gre.
ated, by which injustice may be done to
any Of the parties concerned. CoyIe, M'-
Nally and wife, and a german who was pre-
sent, were duly committed 10 wait their trial
at the next sessions.

A FALSE ISSUE.


Ii seems TO have become settled habit
with the opposition to falsi(y and misrepre-
sent every measure and intention of the
General Administration. For instance, up
on the subject of the, Currency, Mr.. Bid
die says in his last manifesto, that
"The credit system Of the United States,
and the exclusive metallic currency, are
now fairly in the field, face to face, one or
the other must fall. There can be no 9th
er issue. 1t is not question of correcting
errors or reforming abuses, but of absolute
destruction: not who shall conquer, but
who shall survive. The present struggle
must be final"
This false issue which Mr.. Biddle is SO
anxious 10 make and which is re-echoed by
all lls whelps throughout the union, is thus
met by Nh. Grundy senator from Ten
nessee:
'' As to an exclusive metallic currency
being aimed at by the administration and
It's friends, | consider the charge as wholly
gratuitous and unlounded. A sound metal
lie basis for paper issued upon it, and pa
per at all times convertible into specie, is
all have heard contended for. The truth
is we are charged with being for an exclu.
sIye metallic currency because, we are
not in favor of paper not convertible in
10 specie. II is true, many of US, myself
among the number, are in favor of banish-
ing small notes from circulation, that their
places may be supplied by specie for the
ordinary daily transactions of life.
have said this was an extraordinary let
ter; and it seems to me that every thing at.
tending and connected with it partakes of
the same character. 1t is addressed to the
Hon. John O. Adams, whose opinion upon
this whole subject had again and again been
expressed, under circumstances much more
favorable 10 the bank than those which now
exist. In written address made TO some
OF his constituents, Immediately after the
suspension of May last, when speaking in
reference to this same bank, he says, ~
incline more strongly to the opinion, that
the suspension of specie payments by such
bank should not only operate as an i'm
mediate forfeiture of its charter, but be made
penal offence in the president and direc.
tors of the institution. The violation of
moral principle committed by bank in
suspending specie payments is, in my esti-
nation, not inferior TO that of fraudulent
bankruptcy in an individual"

A Spring MG,ning,-To walk abroad
among rural scenery on fine sunny morn
ing, is to ramble in the temple of Deity and
wltnsss the creative process. Every day,
almost every hour, witnesses some change:
buds, blossoms, leaves and flowers are wo-
ven by unseen hands, painted by invisible
artists, and perfumed from 'vials full of o.
dors sweet'-we look upon them in the
morning with surprise and pleasure. while
the first dew and sunbeam are visiting them.
What an admirable and perfect taste musi
he have who performs all this 4! There is
no noise, no useless display. The Creator
therein teaches modesty to his creatures
His goodness is also yisible-the blossoms
soon perish, but their hue and fragrance are
the breathings of benevolent mind. Look
at the multitude of little heaps of sand that
lie in the paths, and suffer your eve TO rest
!or moment upon the busy and apparent
ly happy insect that brings out his grain of
sand Nothing seems too minute and insig-
niicant for the Almighty to put his hand
upon and invest with faculties Of intelli.
gence and happiness.
