Suicide By Starvation. Mrs. Van Eve
rs, widow lady Of Canajoharie, in de-
clining state Of health, was heightened by
clap Of thunder, in which she fancied

Professor Espy was so we'll pleased with

TO be reduced to practice, and the public |
are, il is said, shortly to witness the cxpe-
Timents.
Men united in the pursuit Of fundamen-
tai principles, can never be separated, let

ful to the constitution, and the rights of
the South, South Carolina would prove re-
crennt to her dearest interests il she did
not support him in his warfare against her
foes And il is all labor lost to urge the
pretcnsions Of Mr.. Clay upon the freemcn
