Stowe, OF Cincinnati, states the following fact.
IN recent number Of the American Biblical Re-
pository
We have, in the United States, no idea of the
poverty to which great masses of the people in
other countries condemned. Millions of in
dustrlous and virtuous families in Europe can af-

A GOOD ANECDoTE, WELL TOLD.

A GOOD ANECDOTE, WELL TOLD.
Among the many good Wings of the
Legislature ofthe last House Of Commons
of North Carolina, was Mr.. II. c. Jones,
editor of the Salisbury Watchman. Du-
ring the debate on Mr.. Raynor's resolu.
tions. which our readers will recollect,
expressed the opinions OF the Legislature
against "the Expunge," Sub-ITeasLry,
&C., Mr.. Jones delivered two speeches in
their favor, well seasoned, as the Raleigh
Register says with genuine Attic. 1t was
con,ended by the Loco Focos that the
Wings could not, without an abandon
ment OF their principles, support the reso.
lutions as they favored the doctrine OF
% Instructions to which as a party, they
we're opposed. The answer to this argu.
ment spoke as follows -
Mr.. Speaker, | must illustrate our posi-
tons on this subject by relating an Incl
den, that occurred in the Tory war Of the
Revolution. You have heard of the GEL
ebrated John Cleveland. North Carolina
has never done justice to that mans fame.
He was one oithose gallant spirits that
first turned back the tide of British domi.
nation by the battle Of Kings Mountain.
He had an impeachment in his Speech, and,
like all sufferers. that ever ! have known,
he was hasty in temper and violent
"Impigsr, iracundus, inexorbilis, acer."

translation Sir, | think it will as well be.

leave, having resounded through the Hall.)
| will give you, then, the rendition of that
Scottish worthy, Cosmo, Compne Brad
wordine:
"a fiery etter-cap, a fractions chiel;
As hot as ginger, and as steve as steel"
Cleveland lived in a tory n~eighbor-
hood, and while he was out campaigning,
these desperadoes used to depredate upon
him greatly. They would steal his hor-
SEES. drive off bis cattle, and burn his fen.
ces and ut-houses. A party of them,
headed by a leader, n Bill Harrison,
went so far as to put his overseer to death
for e~ndeavoring to protect his employers
property. The manner ofthis crime was
somewhat peculiar. They took their vic.
tim to a steep hill side, and placing him on
a log, fastened one end of a grape vine
around his neck, and the other over the
nronp Of STOPPING lockwood. When
thew had thus arranged it, one Of the par.
ty went up the hill, and rushing head fore.
