LETTER FROM Ex-PRESIDENT ADAMS.
The following admirable letter from one of

highly useful and respectable Literary Society
in Baltimore, will be read with no ordinary

IN the estimation of his army and of Italy, in
which his great strength resided. He was anx-
lous' therefore, for crowning battle. Crassus
also wished to draw one on. Pompey had been
sent Tor from Spain to supersede him in his COM
mand, and he was not willing that the laurels of
tne campaign should be snatched from him by
Trivial.
In these dispositions of their chiefs, the armies
met on the banks Of the river Silarus not far from
the bay Of Postum. Spartacus, when he had
drawn up his men in order Of battle, addressed
them in brief and spirit-stirring harangue. In
order to impress them deeply with the fate that
awaited them, should they be vanquished, he had
a prisoner of war nailed to a cross on height,
|so that his agonies might be conspicuously seen
by the whole force; he then had his horse led out,
and killed it in presence of the assembled troops.
I. II is my resolve said he, to share in all your
perils. will have no advantage over you. If
we conquered, shall need horse no more
if conquerors shall get horses in abundance from
the enemy"
The signal for the attack Immediately followed
these words. He was himself the first, at the
head of his most chosen corps, engaged hand to
hand with the enemy. The battle instantly be-
came general on all points. The shock and the
carnage were terrific; but victory was evidently
nclining towards the insurgents, when Spartacus
received deep wound on the thigh. Supported
on one knee, he still, however, with his buckler
and his sword, defended himself, and dealt ferce-
ly on his assailants, cheering on his men all the
while. In this situation he was slain. His men,
maintained the fight, not with
the hope Of victory, but to sell their lives dear.
They were at last overcome. Thirty thousand
of their bodies were found dead on the field, and
not one of them, as Sallust observes, had a wound
behind. The Romans lost 10000 men, and had
as many wounded. Three thousand Roman pri-
soners were found in the insurgent camp, which
argues humanity on the part Of Spartacus; for he
and his followers had been put by the Senate out
thousand taken by Crassus on this occasion were
nailed to crosses, at certain distances from each
other, along the highway on either side Of it. and
the Roman legions then marched between them,
to gaze upon them whilst agonizing in their long
tortures.

"A Lithographer in Irouble.-Mr.K Robinson,
well known for his humor and enterprise in the
publication Of carricatures, has been held to bail
by Monster lie Compte, the husband Of the cele-
brated danseuse at the Park, for publishing what
he conceives to be an indecent print of the lady
The artist, it appears, published two Autographs.
The first one, which was rather broad, he says
Monster was very much pleased with, but the
second he deems very Objectionable. 1t is i'm
possible in these matters to regulate public taste,
but the second one, which is uncommonly spirited

A pamphlet has lately been published in Lon
don, and has circulated very extensively, which
proves to demonstration, that ''the young Queen"
has four fingers and thumb on each hand, and
that the circumference of her right arm, about two
inches below the elbow is greater than that OF her
left wrist. We understand that one Of our most
eminent publishing houses has secured copy
right, and that the pamphlet will be repnblished

ANEcDorE-During the winter campaign of
l77-, our soldiers suffered extremely for the want
Of provision. A penurious old Dutchman, living
in the vicinity Of the quarters Of the army, was
known to possess great quantities of beef, pork,
&C.; but the object of the most particular regard
among the soldiers, was his well filed smoke
house 1t was small building, situated short
distance from his house, and contained, as the
soldiers well knew, goodly number Of delicious
hams Arrangements were made for carrying off
both smoke-house and hams. Eight muscular
men, provided with long poles, repaired to the
scene of action, and with little noise and less
ceremony, transported the house and its contents
to their camp. Immediately on discovering his
loss, the old Dutchman waited on Lafayette, the
commanding officer, with doleful complaint.
sSheneral,'' said he, ''your tam sogers, hab
carry of my smoke hoos.'
"De diable,'' exclaimed the Marquis, whose
English was not remarkable for its purity; !" It's
no posesble.'

Oup LIBERTY TKEE.-Among the "Sayings

corded as coming from Governor Everett
. Mr.. Slick, our tree of liberty was beautiful

It was well fenced and well protected, and it grew
50 stately and so handsome, that strangers came
from all parts of the globe to see it. They all
allowed it was the most splendid thing in the
world Well, the mobs have broken in, and tore
down their fences, and snapped off the branches,
and scattered all the leaves about, and it looks no
better than gallows tree. / am afraid, said he,

and moral worth. He tlren touches on Ireland.
and relates facts of which he was an eye witness,
and substantiates his statements by quotations
from other writers, which are embodied in the
extract.
We publish this not because it adds much that
is new to the matters of fact already known and
published weekly in the Native American, but be.
cause it multiplies authorities and confirms these
facts.
This able writer takes the just view, and ex
presses the patriotic sentiment which sustain ou
principles, and bear us out in our objects, as far al
they 60.
In his closing paragraph he deprecates tn,

INCREASE OF FOREIGN PAUPERS.

We publish below extracts from the late annual
report of the Mayor of New York, by which it
appears that the increase of foreign paupers in the
Poors- House of that City is at the rate of eighty
eight per cent. per e'laaea; or, in other words,
that while the number of poor among our own
countrymen increases yearly SO as to add twelve
more to the burthen of public support, the foreign
stock adds lightweight! Now, suppose we were
to carry this out according to the regular proper
ton which the foreign population bears to the ag
gregate native citizens, we would find that eight
twefths of the former live upon the rest of us in
the form of either public or private mendicants,
or, for greater security, as convics or culprits in
our jails and penitentiaries.
That this comparison will be offensive to the
pride of the foreign citizens, who so fortunate
or so worthy, as not to belong to either of these
evil classes, is very probable; but it is neverthe-
less true and if they who intend to make this the
home of their lives, the grave of their bones, and
the land Of their posterity, will merge present SEN
sibities and old prejudices, in the good of the flu
ture they will, SO far from dscouraging our eff
forts to prevent the curses Of crimes and poverty
upon us, by their own countrymen, cry aloud
that at length they are convinced ace are right
in our career, and say God speed us in the work
1t is an idle defamation to say we oppose men
because of an unchariable feeling towards sran.

restrictions--not upon them or their chdrens
but upon those who are yet to come! We think
we see future pregnant with evil-they cannot
see it. 1t is natural nay, we are not quite sure
that it is not praiseworthy in them to be blind to
this evil. 1t is NATURAL for the Deity has, for the
wisest and most benefcent purposes, implanted in
our hearts attachments which extend to all
speaking kindred tongue; and we are slow to get
rid of these attachments, and the preudices with
which they are blended. We feel it ourselves
we are not so unreasonable as to deny it to them.
All that we ask is, that we may be neither mis-
understood nor misrepresented in this matter. We
make no attack upon him who has sought the
protection of our laws-who is within the pale of
the sanctuary-we desire only to close the door
against those who are rushing to fill it to over
flowing, till its walls burst asunder, and we be
crushed with them In one common ruin.

We observe in the New York papers an ac-
count of mob which was raised on Sunday,
October 2lst, in that city, to put down the inf
deity of Fanny Wright and her adherents. Every
man of good sense must 90 against mobs and law
less outbreaks of every kind; and the lamentabe
want of sound principles is proved by the occur
renee Of so many mobbing and Lynching outra-
ges as take place throughout the country. The
vile object on whom this mob intended to wreak
its vengeance, deserved all that she was threaten
ed with, and all they could have inflicted upon
her, while the disgraceful attempt of innctng the
meried punishment through the instrumentality
of mob, made them deserve similar fate The
resentment was just but the mode pursued to ap-
pease it, was wrong, and there is only one cir
cumstance that affords the least mitigation of its
criminality-the moral sense was insulted by doc
trnes whose pernicious influence might involve
their families, their wives and daughters, in the
same disgrace which attaches to their defled and
prostituted author, destroying those ties on
which the happiness of families depend. Thus
while the moral sense of the mob was very acute
on the one side in regard to female purity, on the
other it was dull in regard to the public peace
This renegade lecturer is remotely, if not imme-
diatey responsible for this outrage and all the
consequences, whatever they were or might have
been, against the peace and dignity of that COM
monwealth, and ought to be spurned as obnox-
ious to the social happiness and domestic peace
of the country.
Why is this execrable being accommodated
with house by public authorities, incorporate
bodies, or private individuals? Whom are we to
look to as the guardians of the peace and morals
of the country, ifnot to those whose situation and
circumstances enable them to exert salutary in
fuence!
