EMILY RUSSELL.

Oar readers will recollect the case ofthe young
woman who was sold at AleXandria, and the p-
teous letter which the victim wrote To her mo-
ther, Mrs. Cartwright, of this city. The whole
case if rectei in detail would ill a volume
and such volume we hope will be written,
whenever the public mind of this nation shall be-
come properly aroused to the crimes and woes
of slavery. 1t is announced on the authority OF
Bruin q Hill. the slave dealer, that Emily Rus
sell has been released from the grasp OF avaricr
and the touch of pollution, by the finger OF the
Almighty, who has taken her to that land where
the servant is free from his master. She died in
Georgia on her way to the .ar south.
A gentleman in this city, who is intimately
acquainted with Mrs. Cartwright, has called to
mention few facts in regard to the effect of the
reception of this nows by the mother ct the VIC
tim When she was finally compelled 10 give
M all hop, Of redeemng her beloved da g ter
from he dreadful doom to which she had been
sold. and when she learned that the coffi hal ac-
tuaiiy departed for the south, the ha isSs moth
lrnoped like a stricken woman; she no longer
lifted up her head or look part in the privileges q!
life. Her mind was with that daughter gone

dreadful d ,stiny At length one day, our intor-
mani called on her. Have yol heard any thing
from my daughter ?" Yes. have" was the
reply. "a letter from Brun and Hill" "And
what is the news - The friend thought it best
to give direct answer" Emily is dead" The
mother imm ,diately lifted up her eyes and rails
ed her hand toward heaven and exclaimed
thank the Lord this is what have prayed
for most earnestly, that if she could not ilber-
aied. she might die before she reached the mar
ket.' She said she considered it an answer 10
her prayers and that she had long felt conf
dence that God would no, lay upon her a burden
she could not bear. He had been so cool 10 her
At all times that she still trusted in him; and he
did not deceive her hope. Here she recounted
some of the leading events of her life 10 show
what God had done for her in every exigencv.
She is distinguished for the habit of referring all
events to the hand of God, " who doeth all things
we'll"

u The correspondent of the Boston Courier
writes as follows: at was singular sight through

was The god of the democrats. The wings adj

See'st thou that aged man--his care-worn face
Haggard with grief, and cherries poverty;
He has no shelter now-not cen a place
To hide his tcars-hs bitter misery /
Though once ne was bright fortunes fayour'd child
a stranger, too, to liie's unceasng cares;
Those looks, alas with cheering joy once smild
But now, how sadl their lot is bitter tears!
But look again-tltat beauteous girl that kneels
Upon yon grave. with flowers oyergrown;
The keenest pangs of blighted hopes she feels
Her happy days To Lethes stream are flown
'Tis there her lovers spirit is rest;
She, too, longs for the grave for there she knows
No worldly care, 10 sorrow shall modest
Her guiltless hcart--lhere end all human woes

And there again-behod that manly FORM
And see how fate has wrought upon his face
The marks of sorrow, LIES unceasng storm:
Where can he find sp0t-a resting place
Twice has he lovd-but death has snap'd the chord
For him stern Destiny nOught but grief allots-
Can Hope still whisper consoling word
The world knows not his feelings nor his thoughts.
That aged woman, with her eyes cast down
She gazcs now at usher looks how wild!
She lost good loving virtuous SON
He was the world to her-her0nly child!
And now she's left on li'e's tempestgous bark
Helpless and old how hapless! without friend:
See how with tears 10 Heaven she prays-but bark
Her prayers with songs of sinless angels blend!
But see's thou there-alas. how sad sight
That little child weeping hood of tears
IN orphan lis from hunger and from fright

THE GODLIKE.

OF DANIEL WEBSTER, Mrs. Swisshelm writes
as follows. Ifnot quite so handsome portrait
of this distinguished individual, we suspect it
possesses the merit of being true:
81 do NOT think ii is prejudice that makes me
think Mr. Websters face is disagreeable but to
me il has an expression OF coarscness, as though
his animal propensities were rather stronger than
his intellectual powers. His face speaks the
scnsualiSt by nature-a natural innate vulganty
that would require large amount OF strict train
ing to elevate into voluptuousness, such as is con-
demned by our people when described by Sue or
Bulwer. | know this opinion of Mr.. Webster
will be resented by his Western friends | have
never seen any such expressed of him but near
| ly every one knows that he sometimes drinks to
excess, and his friends here say he requires to
be excited with wine to make him approachable
civil When quie-sober he is as gruff as a
| grizzly bear. His mstresses are generally, il
not always colored women--some of them big,
back wenches, as ugly and as vul gar as himself
These will openly run store bills on lis account
1t Is no wonder the curse of the Almighty hangs
on us as a nation. The wicked rule and the
people must mourn. The laws of God are pub
licly set at defiance by those whom we choose to
rule over us Webster had always admired,
even after his last speech. His faults appeared
like excrecenses on his greatness and virtues
But since have seen him and come within the
circle that surrounds him, look upon his faults
as the great component parts of his nature-the
essential ingredients. The good is only enough

no creature on earth wholly evil. The lion has
