TO the Hon. Willie p. Mang,tn,:

You are State Rights mani should rather
say, you lcere such person-but where now
are the principles that guided you in the confess,
between Gen. Jackson and South Carolina2 Is
there one which you have lately advocated, or
even alluded 10? If SO, we cannot find them
in the record. They are gone-gone
q like the baseless fabric of vision
Leaving not wreck behind.n
True it is that on leaving college, you com,
menced your career by pursuing the course you
are now following opposition 10 your country's
rights, honor and interests but still we were
willing to forgive your youthful ebullitons in ia
vor of Federalism, and in opposition TO the war
and hence, when you were found acting with
Mr. Tyler a few short years since, we had reason
TO hope that you turned from tn, errors of your
ways. Alas for human nature, however, you
wheeled about and jumped Jim Grow in man
ner perfectly astonishing and astounding for
where could contrarieties be found so palpabe
to the most superficial observer as those which
have always existed between Messrs. Calhoun
and Clay2 And yet, at one fell swoop you
quit those with whom you acted, entirely, and
threw yourself into the arms of American Sys
tens, United States Banks, and all those corrupt
and demoralizing courses which it has been the
object of a certain leader to nfict upon the
country. What has caused this = Is it dispo-
sition to run with Mr. Clay for the Vice Presi
dency, having, by assuming his service as
Charley, taken the mantle Of Dication2 do
not know, nor do suspect, your motives and
vet your course has can awful squirting" that
way. One thing, however, is certain your
past course must show your fri 3nds that you are
not to be trusted, and mistake much, if the next
election in your State does not show strong in
clination towards the same EXPIRE sion of opinion.
This, two or three months will determine and
bide the time in confidence. MY only inten-
ton in addressing you, is to initiate the practice
Of the day, by delivering a course of lectures,
in regard to an expression OF yours, that you
would sooner tear your heart out" than do that
which | fear you are now doing In talking
with you, shall pursue the course of friend,
for think an examination of your own heart
and conscience will prove to you that
"Extenuate nothing nor set down aught in malice"
But public servants, like private ones, need an
occasional reprmand and although | do not
possess the power of competition, where an
honorable Senator" is concerned, still, the bee
generally finds out the tender points of larger
animal than yourself | therefore give you fair
warning to prepare for stingS

Western EIOquence.

The following sublime effort of a young, and
we suspect rather rerdQnt disciple of Black
stone, appears in a Western paper.
Gentlemen of the Jury
Can you for an instant suppose that my cli-
ent here, man what has alters sustained high
depreciation in society, man you all on you
suspect and esteem for his MANY good quanli-
ties yes, gentlemen, man what never drinks
more nor quart oflikker day; can you, say,
for an instant, suspose that this ere man would
be guilty of hookin' box of percushum caps?
Ratllesnakes and cooaskins forbid Picier 10
yourselves, genilemen, fcller fast asleep in
his log cabin, with his innocent wife and orphan
children by his side, ,--all nature hushed in deep
response, and nought TO be heard hut the loud
muIlerins of the silent thunder and The tuneful
hollerings of The bull-lrogs;-then imagine 20
yourselves feIler sneaking up 10 the door like
despicable hyena, softly entering the peacea-
BILE dwelling of the happy family, and in the
most mendacious, glaring, and dasIardy man
ner, hooking---yes, hooking whole box of per-
cushum! Gentlemen, | will net, l cannot,
dwell upon the rapacious monslroslly OF such
crime! My feelings revolt from such picrer
of mortal turpenline, like big woodchuck from
nv dog Rose! | cannot for an instant harbour
the idea that any man in these diggins, aud
much less this ere man, could bo guilty of
hitting an act of such, rantankerous, inexlrica-
BILE, and unes sampled discretion.
And now gentlemen, after this ere brief view
of the case, premit me TO retreat of you to make
up your minds candidly, and partially, and give
us a verdict, guilty or not guilty, as we might
reasonably expect from such an enlightened anl
intolerant body of our feller cilizens;---remer
bering, that in the language of Nimrod, king Vi
Troy, who fell al the battle OF Bunker Hill, Il
is better that ten innocent men should escape,
rather than that one guilty should suffer. Ii
the court pleases;-.-Judge, give US a chew Of
tobacco.

"They parted--as all lovers part
She with her wronged and broken heart;
But he, rejoicing he is free,
Bounds like the captive from his chains;
And wilfulIy believing she

and bitter condemnation, 1t is that of ,rlfiIng

affection wander, until each tender chord is
awakened 10 tender tones of inefable sweet

POETRY.
The Stars of Night.

Whence are your glorious goings forth,
Ye children of the sky,
u whose bright silence seems the power
OF all eternity2
For time hath let his shadow fall
Der many an ancient light;
Bot We walk above in brightness still
Oh. glorious stars Of night!
The vestal lamp in Grecian fame
Hath faded long ago;
& On Persla's hills the worShipped fame
Hath lost its ancient glow;
And long the heaven-sent fire is gone,
With Salem's temple bright;
But We watch DER wandering Israel yet,
Oh, changeless stars of night!
Long have We looked upon the earth,
q Ger vale and mountain brow;
1Ye saw the ancient cities rise,
And gid their ruins now;
Ye beam upon the cottage home,
The conquerer'S path of might,
And shed your light alike on all,
Oh, priceless stars of night!
But where are they who learned from you
The fates of coming time,
Ere yet the pyramids arose
Amid their desert cline!
Yet still in wilds and deserts far,
Ye bless the watchers sight;
And shine where bark hath never been,
Oh. lovely stars Of night!
Much have We seen of human tears,
OF human hope and love;
And fearful deeds of darkness too,
Ye Witnesses above!
Say, will that blackening record live
Forever in your sight,
Watching for judgement on the earth,
Oh, sleepless stars of night!
Yet glorious was your song that rose
With the fresh mornings dawn;
And still amid our summer sky
Its echo fingers on;
Though We have shone on many grave,
Since Eden's early blight
Ye tell of hope and glory still,
Oh, deathless stars of night:

The fairest of the fair
The very flowers he loved to twine


Attwilight in my hair
Perchance he yet may visit them,
And shed above my bier
The holiest dew of funeral flowers
affections kindly teari'
Ii was the voice Of Emily: it was her last
song She was leaning on her sofa as | enter
ed her apartments; her Thin white hand resting
on her forehead. She rose and welcomed me
with melancholy smile. 1t played over her
features for moment, flushing her cheek with
a slight and sudden glow; and then passed
away, leaving in the stead the wanness and
monrnful beauty of the dying. Ii has been said
hat Death is always terrible TO look upon. But
TO The stricken Emily, the presence of the de-
stroyer was ike the ministraton Of an angel Of
Ii CHI and holiness She was passing off 10 the
land of spirits like the melting of sun set cloud
into the blue of the heaven; stealing from exis-
tence like the last strain Of ocean music when
it dies away slowly and sweeliy upon The moon
light waters.
A few days after, stood by the grave OF
Emily. The villagers had gathered together,
one and all, 10 pay The tribute of respect and af
fection to the lovely sleeper. They mourned
her loss with deep and sincere lamenatlon;
they marvelled that one SO young and so be-
loved should yield herself up to melancholy,
and perish in the springtime of her existence.
But they knew not The hidden arrow which had
ranked in her bosom: the slow and secret with
erIns Of her heart. She had borne the calami-
ry i'll silence in The accomplishing quietude of
enc, who felt that there are woes which may
moi ask for sympathy; affections which like the
canker concealed in the heart Of some fair bios
som, are discovered only by the untimely decay
Of their victim.
