Yes, Edwin said Mary ironically, bu
without offering him her hand, Il have es
capped, thanks to my brave preserver whose
name am sorry to be ignorant Of
'll is Seth Manning, mechanics SON,
answered Edwin contcmptuously;d displeas
cd at her coldncss and envious Of Seth fol
his superior bravery, as well as mortified
at his own cOWardice.
Then l am more, indebted to him than
| if he had been a gentleman's son, said
Mary, who with all her virtue was tainted
with this psucdo gcntilitv which we com
bat; 'lor he has shown gallantry that we
look for only in those who are educated to
be gentlemen she said casting look OF
slight contempt at Edwin. Mr.. Seth
Manning, give you my thanks now for
preserving my life, and hope l shall never
forget you. My father will call and see
you, and thank you also. Good morning."
Good morning, Miss Curtis said Seth
following her with his eyes as she left
them without taking any farther notice of
Barry.
"A pert little MINK said Barry, scorn-
fully trying to conceal his modification
under contempt to her.
Speak word disrespectful other again
Edwin Barry said Seth with flashing
eye, sand / will toss you into the ravine

Edwin turned pale and made no reply;
but walked away multcring 10 himself,
'low! vulgar! brute! what better manners
can be expected from mechanic!
The ensuing year Seth Manning was
sent to the city and bound apprentice TO
engine building with Mcrrick and Agnew.
He mastered his trade and established him
sclfin New York in the same business,
constructing steam and fire engines, and
became useful man. At the age of twcn-
tv-seven he went back to Chester and
brought away one Of the lovcliest women
in the country for his wife. We should be
glad if we had room 10 record their whole
courtship and marriage, and how the
young village lawyer, Edwin Barry, thrice
offered himself to her and was rejected;
and how Col. Curtis preferred brave man
10 coward, an honest and useful man TO
an idler in profession which he chose that
he might baoo,no gentleman; and how
Mary found, to her fnture happiness in life
that a true and noble heart may throb be-
meath the leather apron of a mechanic, as
well as under the silken vestmenls ofthc
lawyer.

MOST IMPORTANT.

The question which now agitatcs Rhode
Island is the most important which has
arisen in the country since the Deciara-
ton of Independence. 1t is arhethcT
soucrcignty resides in the People, or in the
Government. Its quhethe' majority OF
the people hare right to alter or abolish
their form, Of Government.
The form of government in Rhode Is
land is derived from the Royal Charter,
not having been changed since the revolu-
ton. Under that charter, none but free
holders have right to vote. For years
attempts were made 10 procure the call OF
a convention through the Legislature, with
the view of extending the rig ht of suffrage,
and making other changes; but the free
holders were tenacious Of their power
At length the people took the matter into
their own hands, called convention with
out the consent of the Legislature, and
that body formed constitution which was
afterwards ratified by the direct votes of q
decided majority of the male population
over twenty-one years at age.
The Legislature then took the matter
in hand and called convention which
submitted another constitution TO the peo-
ple, or portion of them, by whom it was
rejected
This rejection can considered only as a
second ratification Of the popular conslitu-
ton by majority of the people.
Notwithstanding these facts, the CO.
vernon and Legislature holding under the
Royal Charter have passed an act pro-
nouncing the constitution adopted by the
people null and void, imposing heavy fines
on all who attempt to carry it into effect,
and declaring all such attempts treason
against the State and punishable as such
The Governor has issued his proclamation
forbidding all proceedings under the con-
stitulion, and has ordered the military to
hold themselves in readiness to march al
half hours notice with fixed ammuni
ton.
The principle on which the Royal Go
vernment ofRhodc Island is acting, is pre-
cisely that of the crowned heads of Europe
1t is, that constitutions can Tightull5
cmanatc only from the cristing gorcrn
mcnt; it is, that the sovereignty resides
not in the people, but IN the Gopernment; il
is, that neither a majority of the people
nor the qcho7c people have rightto alter
or abolish their form Of government with
out the permission or authority of thei
rulers for the time being-rulers who ir
this country are but the agents of the peo
pic!
This doctrine revcrscs the principles o
the Declaration Of independence, ant
makes the revolution rebellion and ou
iexisting Government on usurpatlon. !,

In letter of Mr.. Clay, inreply to an invitation
by the wings of Alexandria, to visit that city, we
find this passage, relating to Mr.. Tyler.
''Never did any legislative body assemble with
majority more disposed to perform its whole
duty toward the country than the present Con-
gross, but it has been thwarted and circumvented
when it should have met with nothing but cor
dial cooperation and support. And it so hap
pens that ofall the members composing the body,
no one was honorcd with larger share of Ex-
ecutive enmty than have been; for no other
reason than preferred to cary out the just wish
es of the people, rather than conform to the ca
prices Of a weak, vaclating, and faithless chief
magistrate.

SAVANNAH, April 16.

INTERESTING News FROM FLORIDA
The U. 5. steamer Col. Harvey, Capt.
Person, arrived yesterday from Florida
From an officer of the Army, who came
passenger in the Col. IIarney, we learn
that there are not probably more on a
fair estimate, than ninety warriors left in
the Territory ofFlorida. A portion of those
under Sam Jones Prophet, are now in
the Everglades rest, under Halleck
Tuslenuggee and Creek chief, Oteaka,
whose name now,ifor the first time we be-
licve, is entered upon the military annals,
are at present in the cove of the Wiihla-
coochee. Col. Worth has planned the
most iudicious attack upon this strong
hold of the enemy, and the 18th of April
yesterday was the day fixed upon for the
assault, which will be made by six differ
ent columns oftroops, who will concentrate
from as many different directions.
The substance, therefore, Of the whole
news received lately from the seat of war,
is, that hostilties are very near conclu-
sion. Such is the impression among the
officers Of the army now in the field; and
public opinion, which is more slow TO de-
eide than that Of those engaged in the con.
flict, will soon arrive at the conclusion that
there is not much remaining to be done in
Florida in The way of hostiliies.
We may shortly expect important news
in relation 10 the attack made yesterday,
OF which we shall be early advised. 1t is
confidently anticipated that atlast consid-
cradle number of women and children will
be captured,
By private letter from our esteemed
Correspondent at Palatka, dated April l3,
we also learn that it is quite sickly among
the troops at Fort Mellon. In conse-
quence thereof the officers had sent their
families TO Palatka, and the troops, with

II be consistent, the Legislature ought to
proclaim the President and Congress set
Of usurpers, and renew their allegiance to
the crown ofGreat Britain.
We do not wonder that the blood OF
Roger Williams wakes hot at the assertion
of such principles.
Pacific as we are in principle and incli-
nation, we should unquestionably enrol
ourself among the traitors were we cili-
zen ofRhode Island. We should do this,
not so much on account Of the present
question, important as it is, as from de-
termination never silently or quietly to
see such a precedent established in
country where we expect to leave our
children.
We are told that the Royal Party have
appealed to President Tyler to aid them
in putting down ma jority Of the people
and their constitution, in the well ground
ed belief, no doubt, that they cannot rely
on the militia Of the State, large majority
of whom are on the side Of the people,
The popular party have also, il is said,
sent delegation to Washington 10 ask or to
prepent the interposilion Of the General
Government. The occasion has not arriv-
ed when this Government can lawfully in
terfere, and we trust il never will; but if it
should, President Tyler and his Cabinet
will have to decide for the occasion wheth-
or the principles of the revolution shall
still prevail in America, or whether the
principles of European Monarchy shall be
restored. We will not anticipate the de-
cision.-Union Democrat.

Ientangled with each other as TO fall down
in what we call fakes.
Snow differs from hail and hoar frost in
being crystalized. This appears on ex-
aiming flake Of snow with magnifying
glass, when The whole of it will appear 10
be composed Of fine spicula, or points d.
verging like rays from centre. DR..
Clarke states that he has often observed,
the particles ofsnow 20 be of a regular
figure, for The most part beautiful stars of
six points, as clear and transparent as ice.
On each of these points are other collater-
al points, set at the same angles as the
main point themselves, though some are
formed Of the fragments Of other STARS
sometimes entirely in the form of separate
regular six-pointed stars, without either
clusters or fakes, and each so large as to
be an eighth Of an inch in diameter.
The lightness ofsnow is owing to the
excess of its surface, when compared with
the matter contained under it. Its white
ness is owing to the small particles into
which it is divided; for take ice, Opaque
almost 10 blackness, and pound it fine, and
it becomes as snow.
The immediate cause of the formation Of
snow is not we'll understood. II has been
attributed to electricity; and hail is sup
posed to owe its more compact form to
more intense electricity; which unites the
particles of hail more closely than the
moderate electricity does those ofsnow.-
But rain hail, snow, frost, ice, &C., have
all one common origin-,hey are formed
out Of the vapors which have been exhal
ed by heat from the surface ofthe waters:

Weep not for those whose race is run,
Their prize Is gained, their toll is past
TO them the power OF grief is done,
And misery's storm has frown'd liz last
They sleep in Christ the sleep Of peace, ..l
Unfinished by dreams OF earthly sorrow,
Till earthly days and nights shall cease
Before bright and glorious morrow
Bat weep for those who yet remain,
The feversi. weight of life sustaining,
The fown discern, the sting of pain,
And secret anguish uncomplaiRing:
Weep for the living-lbey who rest
Within their last and happiest dwelling,
Are senseless of the vain bequest
Oftears and signs successive swelling,
Weep DER the cradje--not the tomb
Lament the dawn, and not the ending,
OF that tempestuous day of gloom
Whose son is bright but when descending,
Weep for the bands Who still maintain
The strife with labor undimlnshed

Their spoils are reaped their conflict finished

GENERAL RULES. OF CONDUCT

l. Never make the forms Of religion in others n
subject of ridicuIe True religious feeling may be
expressed in different forms, and come with accop
TANGO before God. The form is very much sub
ject of education or habt-the me,e language OF
the heart. "What is the chafT to the wheat saith
the Lord -
g. Never mock at the infrmities OF others ralh
let them excite your consideration and gratitude
Who made you TO differ9 Dereliction Of duty not
misfortune, constitutes crime.
3. Never oxult over tho misfortunes Of others
not even Of your enemies. Rejoice in the triumphs
ofjustice but retain your pity for the meanest sin
Is he not man, and still susceptible of refor
nation? Does not God bear with him? And
should not we?
A. Envy not others their prosperity. This is tho
Hark of little mind. While we fail of the objects
we aim at, we should rejoice the success of 9th
ers.
s. Lefty your aims be high-this will exc tie you
TO effort.
6. Be moderate in you, expectations-this will
pr epare you for defeat.
Y. Never despair. How often has the last str,ig-
gle brought relief. If there be but one chance of
success in a thousand, 1t is worth thousand times
too much to be thrown away.
8. Consider how many less favored than YOU
are. If you cannot gain the heights, be satisfied
with medocrty, which is always the safest, less
subject TO changes and of more equal temperature.
8. Bear yourself humbIy in prosperity. A proud
spirit is the product of native meanness. fIt
10. Maintain thankful temper. "What hast
thou, which thou hast not received"

And although peculiarly afflicted for more than

So sensible she of the value of the soul, that
but few Of the many who visited her sick room,
could go away without profiting by her warning 81
