not even Western regiment with us.
Our men are now in good health and cor.

controlled us all as lie wished, and every man

excited some dissatisfaction for little time, but

The reason assigned for Mrs. Madison's con-
duct IN these cases is, that poverty and wdhi
forced it upon her"
Mr.. Madison, it Is said, left a good estate,
including one hundred slaves. Mrs. Mndi-
son received $50, 600 a few years ago from
Congress, for her husbands manuscripts, aud
is now boring for $4,000 more for the balance
Of those same papers. Mrs. Madison Is her
self a mother, (by her first marriage.) and
no degree of want that she could possibly
suffer could tempt her, if she his a heart, to
sell another's child away into Southern pom
d1ge. 1t was unmotherly, it was unwoman-
", it was brutal to barter away the maiden
virtue of that poor child and it would have
disgraced her widowhood no more to sell her
husbands dead body to the surgeons, than
his old barber to the soul driver. His horse
or dog would be treated with more tender.
ness by any washcr-woman with an Ameri,
can heart in her, than his body servant receiv.
ed from his wife. Dat upon her-it would
degrade our manhood to respect her if sht
were our own mother. Can it be truel Mrs
