Marion County.

Last Saturday was the day fixed upon for the
meeting Of the Democracy Of Marion, to select
between the rival claims of Messrs. Wright and
Mcdaniel. We understand from a gentlemen
present, that a considerable number assembled
and that it resulted in the selection of Dele
gates favorable TO the claims of Mr.. Mcdaniel.
inc proceedings of the meeting are represented
as oeing disgraceful beyond a parallel. Judge
Allen (frOm the south west) was present-and
was requested to take the chair. Before any
tning was done, a motin was made that he should
leave the chair, which was carried and another
gentleman placed in his stead. He then reouss.

give a similar reception to the aspiring dema.

ROBERT

SUPPOSED MuRDER.-Our city has been I'M
der considerable excitement, the last few davs.
IN consequence ofthe death of Mrs. Burr, which
took place OIL Monday last, under circumstance
winch excited suspicion, that her husband had
designehty been the cause of her death. A
post norton examination took place, and the pbv-
slclans found a considerable quantity of pounded
glass, in her stomach and bowels, sufficient to
cause death. Mr.. Burr was then tried before
a justice court, and sufficient testimony adduced
to commit him TO prison.
A more diabolical deliberate and unprovoked
deed Of wickedness, perhaps never occurred
tnan the above seems to be. We shall notice
the circumstances more particularly hereafter.

Coz. DAVIS,
SrR:-On Saturday, the 18th inst, MI. Will
liam Dorrell, of Adair county, in attempting to
cross the Grand Charlton river on the ice, immc-
diately above Col. Jones' mill dam, broke through
and sunk. His brother Alexander, who was
standing on the bank at the time, ran Immediate
ly to assist him, but when in the act of taking
hold of him, also broke through, and both of them
sunk TO rise 10 more. A man named Carter.
rushed to their relief, but before he reached them
broke llnough-another, a Mr.. Lowe, followed
Mr.. Carter, and shared a similar fate. A num-
Der of persons being at the mill, gathered some
planks showed them in upon the ice, succeeded
in getting out Carter and Lowe, but the two de-
voted brothers, fondly locked in each others
arms, met a watery grave beneath the ice-bound
current.
The next day they were fshed up from the
bottom of the mill pond, at the very spot where
they sunk. They have each left a family, who
were entirely dependant upon them for susten-
ance. Yours very respectfully,
ROBERT GEORGE.

Igestion of a friend who fuctuates from
opinion to opinion, from plan to p%lan--and
veers, like a weaiher-cock, to every point OF
the compass, with every breath Of caprice
thai blows-can never accomplish any thing
great or useful. Instead Of being progress
sive in any thing, he will be at best sta,iona.

is only the man who first consults wisely,

purpose with iniexitle perseverance,, undis-
mayed by those petty difficulties which
taunt a weaker spirit-,hat can advance to
eminence in any line. Take your course

hold upon it with heroic resolution, and the

LORD BYRoN's TRIBUTE TO WAsHINcroN.-
In Byron's celebrated Ode to Napoleon, as pub
lished, two or three stanzas of the original, it is
well known, were omitted by Clifford, or his
bookseller, Murray; the manuscript having
been entrusted to them jointly. One of these
stanzas was the following noble RECOGNITION Of
Washington, and it is easy to perceive that the
fear of offending English royalty prompted its
suppression:
Where may the wearied eye repose
When gazing on the great;
Where neither guilty glory CLOVIS,
Nor despicable state?
Yes-one-the first-the last-the best
The Cincinnatus of the West,
Whom envy dared not hate,
Bequeath'd the name of Washington
To make man blush there is but one.
Byron's Partially towards our countrymen is
well known, but perhaps never more strongly
expressed than in the annexed extract from a let
ter TO Moore:

can, than a snuff-box from an European. 3"

The very general indignation, with which the
prominent ard deiestib,c doctrines Of Mt Webst,rs
speech, have Inspired the Wing press, has caused
them TO overlook tho merits Of that p:odue ion-Gr
merits it has, although they are few and far be-
tween. We are disposed always to DO Justice, and
on that ,ount, VIC step aside 70 M Ike all due &C.

speech. We n!luds the fact that the acting Pre-
sdenI is everywhere throughout the speech refencd
10 as mere esphsr. lis conceded that he is in the
place Of Presiient-bui he is considered as mere
wisp OF straw. Il is ths "God-like Daniel" who
speaks and uc,s-who is the Government" Il is
doubtless due to truth thus to speak Of the acting
President as enaciing the character of CIPHER
and much credit is due to the Seeretary's candour
for the rank svoval. Blu, it may be questioned,
whether the Secretary has not nrrcga,ed more than
properly pertains TO aim, in appIopriatins to him
self all the powers and honours of the Government

s;er only made slight mistake rs to the power be-
hind the throne greater than the throne itself lie
was strictly correct as to the fact, that there was
such power-but it was another instead Of him

IL Is said, that the contemptuous tone which per
vades MIR WIS speech, has been keenly felt at the
Palace of the Presidents" Weak and vain peo-
pie, who, when in power are always the tools and
the dupes OF designing parasites. are always very
sensitive on the score OF authority, and lay great
stress on appearaneeL Like new-made Lords,
who make great display OF heraldry, and talk
more about an,ient blood than the Duke of Norfolk.
Flatier them with the idea, that they are al-power-
ful and all wise, and you NAV do with them as Won
please-you may have and exercise all the essen.
tails Of power. But offend their vanity, by cues,
roains their supremacy, or invading the appear.
aness OF their assumed omnpotence, and they are
forthwith in arms. Acting upon this principle, Mr.
ryer's keepers weld him at pleasure; and by neg.
Letting this principle, Mr Webster has given unpar,
dOnabe offence.
A letter from Washington observes: "There is
very little stirring in the way OF chit chat, except
that Bob speaks with great indignation OF the arro-
sanee OF MIR webster's speech, which, he says, OF
