AFFECTING SCENE.

The New Orleans Tropic of Tuesday
says that Judge Canonge paid visit on
Sunnay TO Larkin, the murdered, whose
sentence Of death was recorded some DAYS
ago. The criminal spoke freely upon the
subject OF his awful end, and desired mos,
earnestly that minister Of the Methods,
persuasion might be allowed TO wait upon
him. There was one little incident in his
conversation tina, is well worthy of record
although the sentiments spring from the
breast Of one who has crmsoned his hands
in the blood of a fellow fcreature. He
said that his father was dead. but that his
mother is now living, and that there is but
ore thing connected with the horrd crime
for which he must soon pay the just penal
ty. that brought peace on his mind and
afforded him. unhappy as he is. gleam of
consolation. In making out The accusa-
lion, the attorney accidentally spelt his
name improperly. yet he answered TO i,
an never corrected the mistake, for the
reason that the poor mother might never
know that il was her son who had suffered
felon's death. There is something
beautiful in this, and i. serves 10 show that

blackesl crime, may still be susceptible OF

A TRAITORS REWARD.

Mr., Hammond, in his last work. The
History of Political parties in the State of
New York. gives an interesting instance
Of political treachery and its speedy and
deserving punishment I. occurred in 1910,
under the administration Of Gov. Tompkns.
1t appears that in that year the federalists,
owing TO some sudden mutation Of parties
found themselves in majority in the AS
sembly. 1t was then the practice Of that
body to appoint one Senator from each Of
the Senate Districts (of which there were
a who, with the Governor, formed the
Council Of appointment and, d,who appointed
all the officers for the Sta,e.-It happened
that two of these districts were represented
wholly by republicans, so that the feder.
alists were compelled 10 select two from
that political class. These with the Gov.
nernor would have formed the majority;but
i. happened that one of them, Mr. Robi.
Williams, OF the middle district, proved
faithless 10 his friends & as consequence,
a general and merciless sweep was made
OF all the state officers. Mr.. Hammonds,
thus describes the effects upon the author
of this objectionable srsachery.
The indignation of the republicans
ganst Williams was every where intense,
but in no part Of the state was that ndigna-
tion nearer bursting forth into open out
rage than in his swn district, The very
friends who had exerted their influence,
employed their times and expended their
money to procure his election, were those
who, by his casting vote, were elected
from Office, Office upon the emoluments Of
which some Of them depended for the sup
port of their families. He was stigmatised
as traitor and labeled as Judas lscarict.
Who would purchase short-lived power at
such price! Mr.. Williams, though a
man of considerable activity, address and
enterprise, after he ceased 10 be member
Of the Council was neglected by all parties
and was never afterwards heard Of in pol.
li,ical life: His fate should operate as a
beacon to politicians. The people are too

ticsl opinions, provided he expresses them
frankly e. supports them fairly. 1. is cou.
cealmen, hypocrisy and treachery which
are in politics the objectionable sin, sin
which merits and generally receives con-
demna,ion which is perpetuated.

of Colonel Bronton was shot down under
him, and his regiment Immediately fred on
the enemy, In violation Of their orders 10
await until he had approached within thirty
PAGES. The regiments Of Colonels Thomas
and Roebuck soon commenced also brisk
and destructive fire. The enemy now
made charge with fixed bay yons,s, and the
militia gave way. The brun. of the battle
was now bravely born by the regular troops
while the militia rallied in the rear and re.
ewed the eng agement.Three hundred Of
the British were killed and wounded, and
five hundred taken prisoners. The rem.
nant of Tarleton's cavalry was pursued by
Col. Washington fifteen or twenty miles
10 Goudelock's where be was informed the
British were out of his reach. This, how.
ever, was false statement, made by Mrs.
Goudelock in order TO save the life of her
husband, whom Tarlton had jus. pressed
into his service TO pilot him across the Pa
colet. This good lady supposed that if
Col. Washington over,ood the British
that an engagement would necessarily ensue
and her husband might he killed in the &C.
.ion. She therefore suffered the feelings of
wife to prevail over those of patriotism
and morality. For the fact wa, Tarleton
had just got out Of sight as Washington
rode up. Had the American cavalry con.
iinued their pursui. fifteeh minutes longer,
the remnant of the British toops could have
been either captured or killed.
TIE next Gay after the battle, portion OF
the militia was despatched 10 bury the dead
Three places of burying are now to be
distinctly seen. The largest is near the
chimney of cabin some hundred yards
above the battle ground. The second is
| fifty to one hundrrd yards distan, and the
third on the spot where the battle took
place: One Of the soldiers who assisted a.
the burying, observed, at the celebration
before alluded to, tina. the dead were found
in straight lines t.cross the battle ground,
and that it gave them most singular ap-
pearance when seen at distance. The
only vestiges Of the battle, now to be seen,
are the trees which have been cut for bull
lets. Some of these cops are twenty feet
high-an evidence of bad shooting by one
or the other If the parties. A great many
of the bullets are yet TO be found in the
trees. The writer saw several which were
pewter, and no doubt been moulded from a
spoon or plate. Lead being scarce, some
good Wing had made the best substitute in
his power, al the expense OF his table, and
the convenience of his family. At the
time the battle was fought, there was no
underground on the ground, and objects
might be seen great distance through the
the woods; but since that time bushes and
saplngs have sprung up and destroyed, in
great measure the beauty of the forest.

A COMMON SENSE VIEW OF MIL.
LERISM, FOR COMMON PEG.
PIE.

PIE.
We are sometimes bewildered amidst the
mszes of Theological discussion. A msn
starts fine spun theory, brings in Scrip
ture to his lid, makes his own interpre,a
,ion, which his hearers have not the ability
, 10 conuovert, and then quits the field with
an air Of triumph, having accomplished the
laudable purpose Of shaking the faith of
some of the feeble minded. and Grazing the
intellec,s of others. l. seems 10 me that
common sense, if people would only exer-
else tits a sufficient corrective OF this error.
As all the Scriptures are con(essedly dark
on this point,and require the efforts OF skill
ed Theclogians 30 unravsl ,hem, will sug.
gest one or two simple thoughts which
must convince any reneuting mind tina. the
destruction of the earth is an event yet quite
far distant.
One Of the essential attributes Of God is
wisdom, and this is manifest in all his works
by perfec. adapion Of objects to their
ends. Apply This principle 10 the case be-
fore us. The Gospel is the most sublime
effor, Of Divine wisdom and benevolence,
not limited 10 Its sphere of operations like
,he law. but designed emphatically for all
people. I, requ red The long period Of four
thousand years to prepare the way. Mao
kind had TO pass through various stages,
before they were prepared for the reception
Of ,ha. system, which was TO rec.ify the
errors prevailing in society, to purify the
springs of human action, and TO open IN the
wilderness Of the world new moral crea-
ton. This plan has been developed. A
Knowledge Of il has reached only small
part OF The human race. For the eighteen
centuries Of its existence, it has mad TO con-
tend with every species of opposition. Do
the narrow spread and limited influence Of
the Gospel seem 10 be at all compatible
with tAe grandeur and extent of those prep
ara,ons which were destined TO benefit the
whole world The destruction of the
world al this time, is virtually charging a
degree of folly against the Ruler of the
Universe, which we would scarcely hazard
against fellow mortal in one of the ordi-
nary transactions Of life.
This view is strenglhened,by by considering
the faculties now presented for accomplish
lng Gods plan Of benefuing tke whole
world. The rigours of Mahomedanism
have been but recently so relaxed, as 70
open the whole OF Asia Minor 10 Gospel

Of England in India, must produce the saaae

Does IL seem then at all consistent win
Gods purposes to blot the earth from the
map of creation, when on the end Of eccom
pishing the one to which all his Providen.
tial arrangements have been SO long direct.
edl Let common sense answer the ques-
lion.
lie, Us take another view Of the matter.
From the earliest periods man has groaned
under political oppression. Tyranny has
impeded The current of the Gospel, and
crushed The dignity of The human character
Since the American Revolution, what a
change has been presented in the aspect OF
society every where! Follow the Gospel
Message, "Let The oppressed so free" in
its march through the world Can any
mind not be sensible of the pleasing reality,
which is exhibited in every landl And now
when man is just beginning 10 think, feel
and ac, as free born creature OF God: when
he has an opportunity of carrying out his
exalted destiny; when institutions are spriu-
ging up for meliora,ing every class Of hu-
man woe; when absolute despotism over
body and soul is in death struggle; shall we
imagine that the great Author OF life, liberty
and salvation, will destroy the whole work,
in the midst Of its most succe ssful expert
ment 10 elevate and better the condition Of
man!
Again, very recent experiments have
shown that the earth is a vast store house
of wonders. which may be msde subservi
enl to the convenience Of man and the wei
fa,e of Society. Chemistry and Natural
Philosophy have of lale years brought
some Of them to light, and given us a faint
idea of the power Of mind over matter
Look for example, at the steam engine, and
from this conceive Of what future uses the
various combinations of natures laboratory
may be made. Can. then the man Of com
mon sense believe that the God who en-
dowed nature with all these properties,
would annihlate the whole, just when its
uses had become known, and could be made
subsurvient TO his own glorious ends!
These are some plain reasons, designed
not to subserve scripture testimony; bat 10
substanliate that Interpretation given to il
by all The good and learned men in the land
Opposed to ii. we have the theory of man
who calls himself farmer, who makes no
Pretensons to learning, and whose highest
claim is perversoE Of scripture, which is
in the mouth of every visionary enthusiast.
"God has chosen the foolish Of this world
10 confound the WISE"
Need we add more TO aiI in scattering the
fog which has enveloped many mind, and
in leading back every rejecting man TO the
good old faith! "Of that day and hour
knoweth no man."
