or The Richmond EhqaarT, with that
calm good sense, for which it has ever been
distinguished, repudiates the idea of retaliat-
ing on the North by commercial regulations
and restrictions. A legislative enactment to
that effect would be an empty ebullition OF
spleen, as its practical enforcement would be
impossible. II is better for the South quietly
TO look on and await the return of sober Sec
ond thought in the North. Mr.. JEFFERSON
who was tho father of the doctrine of State
TIGHTS, so much villified and so little under
Pby cur Fusion neishbors, was opposed
70 violsbt ncasurcs. In his letterto w~. D.
cnss he said:
nAro we, then, 10 stand TO our Gy0ls with the
hct-hsaded Georgian? No, that must be the
last resource, not to be thought Of until much
longer and greater sufferings. If every in
fraction Of compact Of so many parties is to
be resisted at once as a dissolution of it, none
can be formed which would last one year.
We must have patience and longer endur-
ance, then, with our brethren while under
delusion; give them time for reflection and
experience of consequences; keep ourselves
in O situation TO profit by the chapter Of acci.
dents; and separate from our companions on
ly when the sole alternatives left are the dis
solution of our Union with them, or submis-
sion to government without limitation o
powers. Between these two evils, when We
must make choice, there can be no hesita
ten. But, in the meanwhile, the State.
should be watchful to note every material
usurpation on their rights; TO denouuce them
as they occur in the most peremPtory terms
tonrotest againstthem as wrongs to which oul
present Submission shall be considered, not a:
Acknowledgements or precedents OF right, bu
as temporary yielding to the lesser evil, un
ill their accumulation shall overweight tha
of separation"

lepeice to Correspond ents.

Our tables arc crowded from day to day
with communications of every character and
description Of which the human imagination
could form conception. 1t is utterly and
absolutely impossible for us to give publca-
ton to everything we e. When we
say this it is not TO be urM1stood that COM
munications of proper character are not al
ways acceptable. We are ever ready to
welcome to our columns we'll written ac-
count of public transaction, occurring in any
section of our county:-a political essay of
respectable composition, or a literary produc-
ton, whether of travel or of abstract thought,
elegantly couched, is gladly received
Those, however, who DC not feel themselves
qualified to ,C,ite ,OeN and with perfect finish,
need put themselves to no trouble TO furnish
us with reading matter.
One word morc-PerSonulities should be
dealt in as little as possible in all contribli-
tions to the press. We will publish no COM
munication whatever attacking or rejecting
on individualS-unless review ofthe course
Of candidate except where the name OF
author shall be attached. The reasonableness
of this demand will be apparent to any person
on moments reflection. No oman has a right
10 ask ar editor TO shoulder the burthen of an
onslaught upon a neighbor which he himself
is not willing TO carry. We shall never
shrink from the responsibility of anything
we ourselves may utter, but il is not right
that we should be made to carry for the
quarrels of every person who seeks, whilst
he is behind a maseed battery, to use our col
umns for the promotion of his own ends.

The General, then Judge Jackson, was
holding court long time ago-in shantee
at little village in Tennessee, aud dispen-

seemed to him to be required in the case
brought before him. One day during court
great bulking fellow, armed with pistols
and bowie-kuife, took il upon himself to
parade before the open door of the Shantee
Court House and d--a the Judge, Jury,
and all there assembled, in good set terms.
"Sheriff," sung out the Judge, IN an aw-
full tone. ssarrest that man for contempt of
Court and conine him.
Out goes the Sheriff, but soon returned
with word to the Judge that he had found
it impossible to take the ofende7.
ssSummon posse, then," said the Judge
"and bring him before me-"
The Sheriff put out again, but the task
was too difficult; be could not, or dared
not lay hands on the man, nor did any Of
the posse like the job any better than he
did, as the fellow threatened 10 shoot the

Every evening foand him at her side, and
she was thought not to be entirely insensi-

month glided away month Of coartship,
which was carefully noted and meaningly

referred to her connexioa.
He seemed to favor The project, and ap-
pointed an interview for tho trio the same

more formal solicitation for her hand was
made, and while the ardent zuitor was wait

that was to seal his fate, the young lady
was led forward and presented to her olcn

A ROMANTIC STORY.

We clip the following from an Indiana
paper, whose editor vouches for its truth
''About twenty years ago, as the story
goes, man and wife tof prominence, by
fashionable position, who had been welded
long enough to be blessed BY female babe
discovered that they did not love one anoth-
er as they should, and therefore separated
forever. The wife took the child and
sought home in an eastern city, where her
parents resided, reauming her maiden name,
and giving TO the child the same. After a
divorce had been agreed upon and obtained
by due course of the law, the lady mar
ried, and the little gil was sent to rela-
tive in the interior of York State, where
she lived until a few months since.
The man has continued 10 reside in the
west, and being young when separated from
bis wife, of bale constitution, and partic-
ularly careful to remove from his counte-
nance all traces of times footprints, has
kept up very youthful appearance, eonsid-
ering his age. Being in afluent circpm-
stnnces, of good address, and decidedly
agreeable in all the little nicities that com
bine to stamp the gentleman of fashionable
life, he was always regarded as a desirable
prize by designing mamrnas. Nevertheless
he had escaped all their snares, to the
great annoyance of pretty girls and charm
ing widows, who really lhocght it was the

might have been settled aversion 10 the
sex, or it might be attributed to his earls
lessons, yet it was fact, be did not marry.
/ But not TO be prolix, we'll cut of some
of the little unimportant items, and proceed
| to the story. During last June, Miss },
arrived here from the east, on visit to
relative, who had been resident of the
Queen City but a few months. The second
week of her western snjourn threw her II

Starlight, 'who used to come regularly for

There was man who, when the stars

telescope wherewith to study astronomy, at
sixpence squiut.

from the Bench, lit was literally a BENCH

The rufEan was standing short distance
from the ShantAe, in the centse Of crowd
ofpeople, blasphoming at a terrible rate and
and fourishing bis weapons, vowing death
and destruction to all and singular who
should attempt to molest him.
Judge Jackson walked very calmly into
the centre of the group, with pistol in his
hand, and confronted him:--
"Now," said the Judge, looking him
straight in the eye, '.surrender, you internal
villain, this instant or, BY the Eternal, III
blow you through" -
The man eyed the speaker for a moment,
without speaking, aud then let fall his weap-
ons, with the words: ''There, Judge, rs no
use, give IN" and suffered himstlf to be
led off by the Sheriff without opposition. =
He was completely cowed.
A few days after the occurrence, the man
was asked BY one of his comrades why he
knocked under to one man. when he had
before refused to allow to be taken By a
whole company; and his reply showed the
estimation in which the daring and deter
mined spirit of Jackson vas held through
out the country.
