Mr.. BRowN-DeGr Sir: hand you here
with description of an interview that took
place between Charles ]. Fox and Lord
North, soon after their celebrated coalition.
The piece was written nearly sixty years
ago, but describes so admirably The position
which two of our own Statesmen of the pres
ent day occupy towards each other, that it is
difficult to imagine that it was not intended
for their particular case. For Fox you have
only to institute j G.. c., and for North
NJ. V. b., and the thing is complete.
G..
INTERVIEW BETWEEN FOX Sc NORTH.
Oh. Come to my arms, my dear nuch-valued
friend,
Henceforth let discord cease, let contest end.
(They enabrace.)
Nor. Come to my arms-thus let me clasp
thee round,
I've found thy worth, and honor what I've
found:
o! you're a my soul delights to praise,
Fair, faithful, honest just in all your ways.
A friend SO warm | ever held most dear,
A foe SO potent Csesar's self might fear.
Oh. What though I've called thee traitor,
coward, knave,
Nor. What though I've called thee factions
viest slave!
Oh. What though I've named thee all that's
vile and basel
Nor. Your virtues now will dignity disgrace.
Come once again, my souls far better part,
My genius, take me-take me to thy heart
Guide me, instruct me, teach me where to go,
Thus, thus, our hearts shall meet, and thus we'll
grow.
(They embrace agair.)
Oh Bless me! where am L! what is this see T?
Pm drunk! dream! I'm sure it cannot be.
What! he who spurn'd me wormed me from my
post,
And babe me wander like Stygian ghost
What he? that hated, that detested man.
Who taught my tongue to curse like Calban!
He seek my friendship! he accept my hand!
Now let st. Panl's church walk into the Strand
Let London bridge to Islington repair,
And Temple-bar go forth to take the air!
Nor. o. there's spirit in that plant tongue,
That charms the old, and fascinates the young.
But know the cause, dear Charles, before you
blame,
Pm sick, Pm hurt, my hearts Overwhelmed with
shame,

Oh. I'm sure did not mean--
Nor. did not wish-
Oh. --Forgive, forgive my spleen.
Nor. Henceforth, my friend, let's praise each

I'll call thee Tully, call thee knave of hearts.

FLORIDA.

| This seems to have been an Inflated country
from its discovery till noY. The glowing ac-
| counts of those who first visited it, excited the
cupidity of European sovercigns; and in the ad-
Justment of claims growing out of the supposed
rights of discovery, possession and conauest-
much blood was shed.
About the year 1928, Pamphilo de Naryaes.
under a grant from Charles V. landed ON the
coast, was resisted fiercely by the natives, and
after many adventures, persisted by shipureck
with nearly all his crew. Soon after, Ferdinand
de Soto died, while exploring the country. In
1860, company of French Protestants sought
refuge there from the prosecutions of their own
country, but were soon cut off, with circum-
stances of the most atrocious barbarity. bv the
Spaniards, who claimed the country by right of
discovery. The French were not long in re-
venging themselves in manner equally cruel,
upon the Spaniards. In 1855, the fort and town
of st. Augustine, we're taken and plundered by
the English Admiral Dsake
A century afterwards, the French settled Pen
sacola, where they suffered great distrcsscs and
privations. In 1868, the whole of Florida was
given by Spain to England, in lieu Of Cuba,
which had short time before been taken by the
British. Under the English, liberal offers from
government induced considerable influx of in
habitaDts, among whom were about 1900 Greeks
Italians, sc. from the Mediterranean, who set.
tied some 60 miles from 81. Augustine. for the
purpose OF eultivating the sugar cane and indigo.
In the American revolution, the FIoridians.
mostly Spanish and English, took part against
the colonies, and were in some instances severe
ly chastised for their aggressions.
With the subsequent history Of Florida, its
final transfer to the United States, and the pro-
longed difficulty of our government, In ATTEMPT
ing to remove the Seminoles from the soil all
are acquainted. Fruitful and forid as the coun-
try is, salubrious in climate, and important in
lts military and commercial position, as it may
be, years must elapse before it can repay the ex-
penditure of blood and treasure that has been
layished upon it.--.4neriean Sentinel.

French fleet are understood to be by no means
of am aggressive character. The army, though
considerably increased, will not be put ON the
full war establishment; and the government
seem thoroughly disposed to show as much DIS
cretion as energy. -.
II is pretty obvious that the strong feeling
which suddenly porvadsd the French commune
tv impelling with equal vehemencc the populace
the pacific middle classes, and the highest ranks,
forced upon the king and the government the
adoption of bold attitude towards England
for compliance with the hasty impulse of the
people was perhaps essential to the security OF
the throne, but it is no less essential TO France,
and to every other country that weapons of such
weight and edge should be handled with very
great caution.
The solution of the question lies no longer in
Paris or London; and the parties ON either side
must be content to wait, though certainly not
without great anxiety, the arrival of intelligence
from Alexandria. The nature Of M. de WIlew-
skis mission to the Pacha had not transpired
but the selection of that individual for impor-
tant q service, has excited the more attention
from his natural hostility to Eussiqy and il
choosing Polish agent, however illustrIous hi:
origin in other res poets, NJ. Theirs is thought tC
have given additional proof of his anti Russian
determinations The decision of the Pacha viii
of course be influenced, if not determined, by th
hopes he may entertain, of having France OF
his side. But, whatever may be the policy o
France in the event of a settlement of the ques
ton by force, we may presome that she Will no
support or encourage the claims of the vassal
which she has herself proposed to circumscrib
and control, against the rights of the Porte
which she has pledged herself TO maintain.

Extract from a letter dated

HALIFAX, n. G., Sept 6, 1910.
81 observe that the Globe is troubling its
brain To assign some cause for the signal over
throw of the spoiismeh in this State-and among
other things, it hints that it may be owing to
rail road influence. The suggestion in tls case
but shows how prone to lying is the organ of
Kendall Democracy. If the Wings had gained
strength along the completed rail road, that had
been fine bell to have chimed excuses on, and
TO have sounded rallys and alarms for Demo-
Gratis. But the fact is, the upper, or Raleigh and
Castor road, runs through three Loco Foco coun-
ties. The lower road runs through but one Wing
county, and that is Halifax; and it is fact OF
perfect notoriety, that two years ago at least,
two of the Loco Foco candidates in the Com
mons succeeded by the votes Of rail road hands,
while it Is equally notorious that one Wing can
didate lost his election by his connection with
the road.
''The Van Buren, party may not, however, lay
any JUNCTION to their souls for the loss Of this
State. 1t is surely lost TO chat corrupt power

ceased with the State elections 10 agitste before

THE BATTLE OFTHE THAMES

The Van Buren, press and orators, and if the
statements of the Chilicothe Advertiser be ell
titled to credit Col. johnson among them, are
endeavouring to impress the public mind with
the belief that Col. johnson is the real and only
hero of the Thames-that lie planned the charsl
that his regiment did all the Jighting,- and
that General Harrison was mile from tho
scene Of action.
These calumnies are addressed to the cemmu-
nity, in the face of General Harrison's Official
Letter, and well authenticated history, written
a: the time, and approved of by persons who
were in the battle-histories that have been for
titled by the vote Of Congress with only one
dissenting voice, awarding its thanks TO General
Harrison and Governor Shelby, for their gallant
and good conduct, in capturing an entire Bril-
fish army, and defeating the only remaining boz
DIV of the hostile North western Indians.
We have already given our opinion to their
statements, and introduce here a correspondence
with Major JAMES STiTT, of Nicholas county
Kentucky, of whose visit to this city op business,
we were advised Friday. This gentleman
has been Major in the Militia of Nicholas, and
has been and continues to be, political supper
ter Of Nh Fan Buren,, and an evidence of
his standing in the party, he was their candidate
for the Legislature in the late election. He re-
ceived G53 votes, but was beaten 96 votes by the
Wing candidate. The high sense of justice which
this correspondence exhibits, on the part of Ma
jor Stitt, is worthy Of all prai2e. '

93-TRUTH AND COMMON SENSE.,SS
To men of sense, sober matter of fact con-
vinces the understanding; but to the superficial
credulous, pompous display of words catches
the eye, and by it they are directed. To the
former, the following is submitted:
Without departing one line from truth, the
statement may be relied upon, that the ''MuscU-
LAR GUIDE" is the only rational, philosophical
and certain way of acquiring practical know
ledge of writing, that was ever before the pub
ic 1t is rational, because its principles are
easily understood, and not mystifed under the
head Of "New System" 1t is philosophical,
because it developes the capability of muscular
action, thing long tried to be accomplished;
and it is successful, because it keeps the hand up
to the same kind of action, until the movements
become easy and natural. Keeping this in view
it is no departure from truth, to state, that more
practical knowledge, in writing, can be acquired
by its use, in one month, than can be obtained
in any other way, in one year. Testimony cor
roberative Of the foregoing, can be fsund in the
report Of the Maryland Insttple, upon the sub
ject, and in the numerous testimonials to be sscn
at the Academy, Al Baltimore street.
