motives were never suspected, and his prinei-
Piles were always paid
He defended Mr.. Clay when accused Of bri-
berry and corruption; and though he failed In
securing the acquittal of his client, was suitably
rewarded The Secretary of State, with more
generosity than unfortunate people generally,
rewarded the man, though he laughed al The
advocate. He afforded him an opportunity TO
learn the art OF navigation in the Gulf OF Mexi-
co at the public expense; and afterwards to
compare his proficiency with the professors OF
the ART at Greenwich and London.
He came with the Harrison victory TO Wash
iDgton He had denounced, most disinlerest-
eddy, the rewarding of editors, and IN his own
case had illustrated his professions by an anti
thelcal example. On account OF his well known
delicacy of feeling in this respect, or from some
other reason equally probable, he would not ac-
cept the charge TO Belgium or the mission to
Constan,inople. If we are told he was never
offered either of these situations, we answer he
certainly then never refused them; so his prin-
ciples are above suspicion, because they have
been considered below temptation.
He afterwards put the "Richmond Whig''
out to nurse, and, no longer an editor, called on
Gen. Harrison 10 inform him he had rellnquish-
ed his connection with the press, and that he
had come to the conclusion that a proper dc-
qudintance NTH foreign languages could
only be acquired in the countries aohere they
were spoken. General Harrison replied, "he
thought Piutarch's Lires Were rery interest
ing in the translation % Since which, MIR. p,
so far from thinking of foreign tongues, has
hardly recovered his own.
He was just finishing a corrected edition OF
Harrison's Life, TO make him appear as much
| as possible like Plutdrch's Cincinnatus, when
he heard of his death the manuscript will be
found among his uAediled papers; as General
Harrison could not live to read his own life,
Peasants thinks no one else would.
AS be could not forgive Mr.. Tyler for ad-
herring to the State Rights principles he had
himself forsaken, he determined his apostacy
should be a means to wreak his vengeance
upon former friend whose honesty shamed
his own unblushing prohigacy.
He, therefore, established The Independ-
ent" in this city the commencement Of which
paper was accompanied by an almost miracle
l. e. two other spirits as unclean as himself were
found to do the unclean work before them. Its
miserable life is written in its horrible death
In Mondays Wing we see he has again re-
turned like dog to his vomit, with his taste, if
possible, still more depraved. We object not
to his outrageous falsehoods on the living for it
is the vocation in which he obtaiLs his daily
bread but even ravenous hunger should save
the sanctity of the tomb,
In the paper Of that day he has basely as
sailed the memory of pous and vrluous lady,
by accusing her Of having colluded with her
husband in the preparation of perjury! Her
name could suffer no greater pollution than to
be recorded on the same page with any of her
many mean and cowardly calumniators, and we
will not mention it,
Such man (mankind we owe you an apollo
gy y should hold no commerce with the living
for all conversation with them must be restrain
ed and unnatural-should partake of no meals
with his fellow mortas, for they must be tasteless
to his palate but, like the dreadful Ghoules OF
Arabian story, should haunt the Wondering
graves, and when hunger impels, upon the fes-
terng flesh of mortal remains safe his horrid
appetite
