of all the United States members of the federal alliance
and shall be faithfully and bona de disposed of for that
purpose and for no other purpose Whatsoever
and to oppose any measure calculated TO promote the
eventual surrender of these lands to the States in which
they situated which would be entirely repugnant to
the condition of these grants and contrary to that prnci
pie of equal and exact Justice which should characterize
all the dealings of the general government with the sew
era states of the Union.
Resolved by the Senate and House Of Representa-
ves that the Governor be requested to transmit copies
of the foregoing resolution each of Senators and
Representatives in Congress- and TO each of the Govern

ease, and " hose countenance was decidedly
prepossessing. He wore in his fez an al
grette of diamonds, sustaining cluster OF
peacock's feathers; an ample blue cloak was
flung across his shoulders, whose color was
one mass of jewels, and on the third finger
of his bridle.hand, glittered The largest bril-
liant the lady had ever seen. The Sultan
was not handsome, and yet it is difficult to
define, wherefore; for his features we've good
and strongly marked, and his eye bright and
piercing; his JET black hair, seen in heavy
curls beneath his fez, and his husky and well
trimmed beard, added considerably to the
dignity of his appearance, and gave him a
look of much greater youth than he could
actually boast Probably, our lady traveller
is the best authority on male beauty, but her
admiration of Mahmoud is tempered with
exposure of his ''consummate personal vani
ty,' his delicious cheatery of painting red
and white, cosmetics, self adornment, &c.
PRIVATE LIFE.
Many interesting traits of the Sultan's per.
sonal history and private life are recorded by
the travellers already quoted. DR.. Walsh

ed and sealed; he broke the seal himself,
tasted the dish, and when he came to one he
fancied, he dincd sparingly upon it; he was
free in the use of wine. His manners we're
mild and amiable, he was a cordial friend,
and good master TO his domestcs; he was
very fond of his children, and would play
with them by the hour, allowing them to
climb up and ride on his back. DR.. Walsh,
when botanizing one day, stumbled upon
MahmOud, on the shores of the Bosphorus,
sitting under little tent, playing with one
of his children; his Majesty took no notice
of the Doctor, who did not, however, feel his
head safe until he again got beyond the pro.
hi tied circle. Slade represents Mahmoud's
kindness and liberality to those about him
as remarkable, but that he had no irmness
or constancy.-"The favorite of to-day he
would bowstriDg to morrow.-A passion for
building, a difficulty of access unusual in
oriental princes, and debauchery, were the
MINOR traits Of bis character; his presence
made solitude crowd, converted the vacant
space into peopled haunts."

From RGy"or's Life Of Jefferson.
THE LAST HOURS AND DEATH OF
THOMAS JEFFERSON.

When the morning Of that day came, he
appeared to be thoroughly impressed, as if
preternatuIally, that he could not live through
it, and only expressed desire that he might
survive until midday. He seemed perfectly
at ease, being willing to die. When the
doctor entered his room, he said, "Well,
doctor, you see / am here yet" His disorder
being checked, friend expressed hope Of
amendment.-His reply was, THAT 'the pow
ers of nature were too much exhausted TO be
rallied" On member of his family obser.
wing that he was better, and that the doctor
thought SO, he listened with evident impa-
thence, and said, "Do not imagine for mo.
ment that feel the smallest sOlictude for
the result" He then calmly gave directions
for his funeral, expressly forbidding all pomp
and parade, when being answered by hope
that it would be long ere the occasion would
require their observance, he asked, with a
smile, 'sDo you think fear to diet" A few
moments after, he called his family and
friends around his bed side, and uttered dis.
tRctly the following sentence: 81 have done
for my country and for all mankind, all that
could do, and new resign my soul without
fear to my God, my daughter to my country.
These were the last words he articulated-
his last solemn declaration to the world-hs
dying will and testament, bequeathlng his
most precious gifts TO his God and to his
country. All that was heard from him after
wards, was hurried repetition, in indlstlnct
and scarcely audible accents, of his faVorite
ejaculation, Nunc. Dimittls DOnsine-Nunc,
Dimittas, Domino. He sunk away imper.
ceptibly, and breathed his last, without a
struggle or murmur, at ten minutes before
o'clock. on the great oURILEE Of American
Liberty-the day, and hour, too, on which
the Declaration of independence received its
final reading, and the day and hour, on which
he prayed to Heaven that he might be pei
mtted to depart.
Astonishing coincidence! wonderful an
thanasial Was not the hand of God most
affectingly displayed in this event, as II to
add another, and GROWING one, to the null
tipiied proofs of his especial superintendence
over this happy country? On the anniversary
of day the most distinguished in the annals
Of mankind; on the fftieth anniversary Of
that momentous day; on day, too, which
his own great work had rendered thus mo-
mentous-at the identical moment, when
| fifty years before he was engaged in repeat
| inc its sublime and eternal truths, for the
final adoption of his country-and in merci-
| fnI fuIfiIment o. his last earthly prayer, be
closed his eyes in patriot ecstacy, amidst the
thunders Of artillery, and the lightning Of
limpassioned defamation flashing from every
temple, and the hosannas Of q cor gregated
nation, uniting with one voice in proclaim
ing the assurance Of his immOrtalityl The
like delicious combination has never hap
pcncd in the world--no, nor can il ever hap
