A Protest Against Splitting Litchfield
 County.

(BY ONE OF HER soNs.) Split that old County in her pride! Rend of thc stars that bind her brow! AS well their god ike names deride.
 Who laid the British lion low She did az noble work as those Who slsod fotth in the ba tile hour, Their breasts of rock against their fires.
 Their hearts of steel, a giant power! And that old County in. that day.
 Did send her sous into the fight; Go read the names in each affiay.
 Is not old Ljtchisld CounlXs bright? From Lexington to Yorktown. whers
 The last blood in ihe struggle. ran, You'll find the same names 6!axing ,here--
 Her noblcst sons were in the van And will you take :he poets eye.
 And lock abroad for beauty too The splendid glories Of her sky.
 Or where earth laughs into your view- l do deiy you io discover
 Another land surpassing tfis, 'ris beauty, love illness, all over,
 All OCT the earth, all u'e, her skies! Her mountains spike ihe stormy cloud,
 Her lakes have all earlh's luve.,esi glow Her rivers roil and thunder loud,
 Her thousand si,eams, hox soft their fuw Her vallies Tempe might adorn,
 Her soil the nob:es; of the earth- BI; then the noble hearts there born
 Her men and women in their worth! Her sialwaIt sons, her daughters fair. Go round the world. search cvery nook, Their noble form, and modest air. Their hearts ot love Love ne'er fovsook-- The grace, not caught isom crowded life.
 But free born, easy, mid her hills, Where Health comes in the tempest's strife.
 Or brea:hes round tTOm her thousand rills There's not O'er all cur mighty land.
 A better or nobles Pla.e- Her hearts eau sue, aud can command,
 The true test "f a mighty race! We say then, pass the contest by. Rouse every son. a noble band: Yea. till the last light fires the sky,
 Let that old rough. stern County stand:

afew days since, upon the body Of a SER
want Of J. w. Hudson, Esq. named julius,
who committed suicide by shooting himself
with q pistol. The Fairfield Herald states
thar he had been kindly and e~ifectionately
rearedby his mistress the late Mrs. Martha
T. Hudson, from early infancy. and IN.
struc,ed by her in reading and writing
Having never known a mothers care, his
devtion to his mistress was withour bound,
his honesty and Intelligence gained the RESI-
peer Of his master and mistress, and from
sheas, for years past. we have been in
formed, he had not received an unkind
word. Upon the death Of his mistress,
.xrief for her loss drove him to this act OF
despair. Such instances Of devoted and
.undyiug affection Of a slave to his ownsr
might teach the fanatics Of the North an
important lesson.
