that the labor of mind and body the Presi-

GOVERNOR McNUTr.-Since our last
publication, in which we declared mequiv-
ocully our determination to advocate the
claims of this distinguished individual for
United States Senator, we have noticed
his late address ITO THE PEOPLE" in the

productions always are, ably, manly and in
dependent, and breathes doctrines of patri-
oitsm, which ever emanate from those who
have at heart the prosperity of their CONN.,
try.
He openly avows his opinions upon all
the leading questions of national policy, and
proves tllathe stands upon the same platform
upon which he stood when he first entered
the field Of politics. strong democrat,
and an enemy to the heresies of federalism.
He declares that he Is nor and Arrays
has been in fauOr Of tie immediate amer
alton of Texas, and thus brands upon the
brows Of his accusers, who have sought to
create the impression he was opposed to
that important measure, the mark Of false.
hood.
We are rejoiced that whilst his enemies
were launching the shafts Of abuse upon
him, spreading accusations, which they us
ed as engines to destroy his well-eaneC
reputation for political honesty, he has bold
" vindicated himself, and put to fight theil
unjust charges.
We viii give the address place in oul
columns in a short time, and hope every
voter in our State may have an opportunity
of giving it an attentive perusal.

GENT. Jacksonville health of this
illustrious hero and statesman is fast decay

the latest accounts, that he will long sur
yive the ravages Of disease. Although the
spark of life is fast Pickering in lis socket,
and he is expecting every hour the angel of
death to sever the vital cord and bear his
immortal spirit hence, yet, those who have
visited him, assert that, regardless of the
pangs and Affections that prey upon his
body, he is constantly breathing forth invo-
cations to the throne of Heaven for the
prosperity and happiness Of his beloved
country. While in youth he braved the
horrors of war, and battled for il, in man.
hood, he served it in its councils, and at its
call marched to the tented field" and led
his countrymen on TO glory and TO victory, in
old age and retirement he is teaching them
lessons Of patriotism, and in death his pray
ers will ascend on high for their happiness.

From every indication the State Conven.

to the vengeance of tyranny. 1t was ca
gerly hoped when the voice of a majority
of the people of Rhode Islaul, declared in
favor of his Liberation, in their recent cleo
ton, measures would Immediately be taken
to carry out their will--but true as the. nee
die to the pole to their decline of the in
capacity of the people to render righteous
verdicts, the minions of federalism in the
Legislature, disregarded their decision and
scorned their commands. We trust that
the people of the phoIe country will raise
their voice against this cruel treatment to
one whose only crime was to assert and
maintain their privilege of selfgovernment,
the very doctrines inculcated in the sacred
Declaration of Independence--until they
shall be seven fold louder than thunder, and
strike such terror to the souls Of his OPP
pressors, that they viii gladly unfetter the
Dersecuted patriot and grant him liberty.
