minisra,ions of MADISON and MoNsaas
and no son Of the republic was more
competent 10 sketch those Adminisira-
lions Than Mr.. ADAMS. Himself an
actor in the great events Of tIIaiSlime,
and from his habits Of observation and
thought, fitted above others to Judge Of
their characters. The discourse on the
life Of MADISON, pronounced in the
Capitol, has all the sobefness and dignity
becoming The ulaj ely Of the audiences,
and yet ihere leaks oni from its elaborate
and measured sentences the FIRE Of ''the
old man eloquent" Both OF them nte
condensed histories of the lime, and

worthy of preservation; whatever be may
have written concerning the politics Of
the past and the policy Of the Slme, may
be laid up among the most reliable
sources of American history.
This book, as specimen Of workman

shows that this species of enterprise is

our City # The Lakes. We are informed
that the work has rapidly sold, and we
think that because il is Of MADISON and
MONROE that this book speaks, il should
sell, and for tile other reason, that it
speaks through The lips Of ADAMS, whose
immortal fame has cow been added 10
the same treasure of national renown. -

The Contested Election Case-Ihe Female Jack
Shepherd, &c.
On the opening OF the Court OF Common Pleas,
this morning, there was q huttering among the
light and heavy artillery of the bar, engaged in the
contested election case, which indicated some com.
promise among the contesting parties. After much
consultation, the appointment of David Webster
Esq /, as a commissioner to take the remainder OF
the evidence, was agreed to, in order to allow the
court to go ON with the regular business of the
term. As this deprives public curiosity of the OPP
portuniy OF listening TO the testimony, there IS
much complaint among tAs cor popntt The evil
dence is to be taken geographically and printed,
after which it will be submitted TO the court and
gued. A fact came TO light this morning, show
ing the infamous character of the evidence by the
officers of the election. Wortheym, one of them,
testified. yesterday, to having vouched for a man
named Mahlen, near ten O'Clock in the evening, as
entitled to vote. This morning it was discovered
that Mahen died in August last, and that the
roner held an inquest upon the body, his death be-
ing a sudden one.
Mary Hildebrandt, the plump little Dutch girl,
known the female Jack Shepherd, is now being
against her, fast the jury dispose of them,
the evidence being dec sive against her At the
conclusion of the first case, she interrupted the
court by saying that she would tell de whole
truth," and induced the supposition that she in.
tended pleading guilty, as should have been done
al first Her counsel, however, had talk with
her, and the prosecutions were permitted TO go on.
The indictments pending are numerous enough to
keep her confined for life, If convicted on all
