credit to the head and heart OF him that

To every true born son of Massachu-
sets, the indignant remonstrance of her
Legislature, against the rude treatment
experienced by this venerable patriot,
while maintaining the right of petition, is
most gratifying Such a voice from Bea-
con Hill is as it should he. But this is not
enough. Let a Triumph and All ovation
be decreed, TO those who have obtained
such peaceful victories in the cause of hu-
man freedom. Like Israel's daughters of
old, let us greet their return with a song
of exultation. Torrey has slain his thou
sands, and Adams his ten thousands:
Not in nan-worship, however, do the
sons Of the pilgrims bow down, but to
the personi6cation of Liberty, insnlled Lib

Ten years ago, ter years ago,
Life was TO US fairy scene,
And the keen blasts of worldly woe
Had scared not then its pathway green.

Unwithrred hopes, unwasted powers,
And frames unworn by mortal pain.
Such was the bright and genial flow
Of life with us ten years ago!
Time has not blanched single hair
That clusters round thy forehead now;
Nor hath the cankering touch of care
Left even one furrow on thy brow
Thine eyes are blue as when We met,
In loves deep truth, in earlier years
Thy check of rose is blooming yet,
Though sometimes stained with secret tears:
But wherr-oh, where's tn" SPIRITS glow,
That shcne through all-ten years ago?

Can feel each Tagging pulse decay;
And youth, and health, and vi ions high,

In soul and form, l linger still
In the first Summer month of life !;
Yet journey on my path below,
Oh how unlike-ten years ago!
But look not thus-T would not give
The wreck of hopes that thou must share,
To hid those it y''u~ hours revive
When all around me scanned so fair.
We've wandered on in snnny weather,
When winds were low, aud flowers in bloom,
And hand in hand have kept together,
And still will keep, 'm;d storm and gloom;

On Friday, 23d Of February, 1888, go
ing down about FIVE o'clock TO the par
loT, which /, with part OF my family and
some friends from New York occupied at
Gadsby's, and where was then assembling

led TO dinner, | met on the staircase Mr..
Graves, who, as we'll as M, Wise, we're
10 be of the party. Tony question, where
Mr.. Wise was, Mr.. q. said he was not
coming, and then informed me that .
challenge had passed between himself
and Mr.. Cilley, that it had been accepted
and that Mr.. Wise was arranging the pre-
liminaries, and that both desired TO be
excused from dining with Us. Mr. Graves
then went away. was greatly shocked
Al what he had told me; for, although /
had heard rumors that, at the request of
Mr Webb. ofNew York, Mr.. Graves had
called on Mr.. Cilley for explanation Of
Iangua ge used by that gentlemaniR ellu-

10 publish the following letter and state.
ments, which we do with pleasure. They
need not one word of comment:
: LOUISVILLE, (Ky.,l February l6, ls42.
My DEAR SlR:-I hasten to respond to
your favor Of the 10th inst, which reach.
ed me by the mail of this morning.
have been extremely panied, and most
deeply mortified, at the manner in which
the Boston Morning Post and other po.
litical papers have wantonly connected
your name with the unfortunate affair be.
tween the late Mr.. Cilley and myself.
Painful, however, as it is for me TO al.
lude to this melancholy event, or the cir.
cumstances connected with it, and Ger.
tain as am that, should this meet the
public eye, the relentless spirit of party
will fear open afresh wounds but partially
healed by time, yet It would be much less
affecting to me than to see you suffer
upjustly on account Of your involuntary
connexion with that affair. I therefore
forward you my statement, as nearly as
my recollection serves me, after The
lapse offour years, with the privilege Of
using it as circumstances, in your opinion,
require.
From the mmencement OF the diff.
Guilty between Mr.. CiIIey and myself, up
to the time sent him the challenge, |
do not recolect that / mentioned it 10
you or any other colleague or friend, ex-
cept Mr.. Menefee and Mr.. Wise. know
it was my purpose to communicate on
the subject with such persons only Ms |
had determined to select as my fFieHds,
should the mattor not terminate amicably.
Hence, my friend and colleague, Mr..
Southgate, who sat by my side at the
same table when wrote the correspon-
dence, knew not a word Of The affair
from me until il was over. hoped from
the first that it would be amicabIy adius-
ted, and felt a strong solicitude that il
should Be known TO as few persons as
possible.
| do not recellect naming the subiec
to you until the morning before the meet.
ing, when | called al your room, ! think
in company with Mr.. Wise, and exhibited
to you The correspondence, and perhaps
detailed to you the circumstances Of the
affair. remember thai you suggested
TO me some modification in the phFaseol
Ogy Of the challenge, which | had written
but had not sent, by which milder Ian.
guage was employed, and The door was
not so completely closed against adjust
ment. l recoIlect well, at the time you
suggested the modification, which | be-
lieve was written by yourself on another
piece ofPaper, you stated that you thought
the ma;terought 10 be and would be am
icably adjusted; and inthis ! remember
Mr.. Wise concurred with youyin opinion.
| recollect this The better, from convic.
ton resting on my mind at the time thai
there were influences, which | thought !
saw more fully than any Of my friends,
that initiated against this view Of the.

Gated with liberty, are unable rightly to
estimate its value and being strangers 10
tyranny. cannot sufficiently discriminate
between their own condition and the con-
ditiOn Of those who grOan under opPreS-
sion. This perhaps is the reason why
republicans pay so little regard to the in
;srsst and welfare oftheir country. An
American possessed even Of moderate
attention, may find sufficient inducement
to arouse and sustain his patriotism. The
vast world lies exposed around him; the
history ofallages and countries is unfold.
ed to his ViewShe can read OF the cruel
actions Of the desPot, and the degraded
victims of his cruelty; human nature d.
vested Of its dignity, and human beings
converted into brutes. Range you the
immensity of this wide world, and where
will you find government which posses
ses such privileges as ours? where SO ma
ny free schoolsP where such hospitality
to strangerss Can you designate one
so entirely free, or in which there is not
oppression and corruption9 Turkey,
Russia, Spain, France, are all fast bound
in chains, and the fruit Of their labor is
snatched from their hands; and even
England, free as she is, is loaded with
innumerable taxes. Ifthen our condition
is so transcendent, If this republic is more
glorious than any which the world has
ever produced, where is that American
whose feelings are SO cold, as to behold
such republic with indifference, and to
withhold his exertions from its prsserva-
tiOn. The public mind is now awake
large salaries are appropriated to, our
schools; magnificent buildings, stupen-
Gous edifces are reared for the promo
ton Of the honor and glory of America,
that her light may shine on those who
are in midnight darkness,and enable them
TO divest themselves Of their vast and un.
wieldy load Of superstition, and ornament
their minds with that knowledge which
makes man meek and lowly in every
department Of life. And while so many
OF our fellow,beings are cropping their
way in the darkness Of heathenism, and
bigotted in all the superstition Of Pagan
idolatry, it is the peculiar privilege Of
Columbia's free born sons 10 bask in the
sunshine Of literature of the arts and sci
ences, and Of all the various enioyments
ofa civilized and refined state Of society.
Nor indeed is knowledge a Characteristic
peculiar alone to the rich, to those who
dwell in richly ornamented houses, who
feast at richly spread tables, and who or
nament tEeir bodies with the gayest Of
clothing, but descends even to the hum
bic inmate Of the cottage, whose roo
scarcely forms a barrier from the scOrch-
ing heats Of day and chilling damps Of
night. Then while we bring into COnsid-
Grafton the fact, that this government
with its innumerable and inestimable lib
critics was not purchased by suffering the
faculties Ofmapkind to lie in dormant
state, but BY the utmost human exsFtion
both corporal and mental; BY the din Of
war and thunder Of artillery--then let
ID prove ourselves worthy Of our forefath-
ersby storing our minds with that knowl.
edge Which will render US useful to our.
selves, to our fellow itizens and to our
cc1ntry. A. w. Nc.
