After all this, without say rouse assigited, t the slightest preteoce of unworthin-,s or sash: hallow on her part, without a single word .f exceed or apology, be suddenly andoaseed his ietention of dying a braided. and renonacing all thought of matrimony. The, bra. ver it would appear, was nothing more than hypocritical pridession. His motives for banking of were very different. for be soon after married another to whom he had been introduced by the plainord. would appeal to the Jury as fathers, as brothers. whether this was a case that shiond be allowed to pass unvisited, be would not say by vindictive, but at least by exemplary damages? It might have happened that a youth, without experimace in the morning of lift, and voider the influence of ardent passion, beguiled by the i fascination of ba-ety, or the artifices of cunning. had made profession of an isoprodem attachment, ruinous to his prospects in life, and every way unworthy of his family and himself. Under mach circumstances, a Jury would perhaps hesitate before they would award de-1 usages. Such were not the circumstances here. In this ease the defendant could not plead the excuse of extreme peek on his part, or of cunning and sedsctioa on the sober. Here was a young woman, whose heart was wrought apou by professions, lung cogtinued, of devoted attachment—whose tOilfaltlbC•aset wrote affections were seised by that appearance of sincerity. which mast always acrompasy repeated promises of marriage; to whom visions of future pleasure bad bees °pied ; who was taught to look up to the man by whom she was retcted as her future guardian, her partner through lik— ing with whom her pains and pleasures were to be shared. Here was a young woman, filled with tkese pleasing and virtuous anticipation, all at once, and without cause, thrown into the frozen region of bitter contempt, to bewail that most painful of all slights. which females forget with most difficulty—which, is truth, they never cease to remember. Such was the effect it had upon her mind, that had it sot been for the vigilance of her friends, she would have succeeded as *eliminating, by suicide, a hated existence. She was obliged to leave the country, and was sent te-sonse disc 'awe, to avoid the shame of being pointed at as a person rejected and scorned by the man, whom all that knew them looked epos as'her future husband. But change of place could at change her feelings —could not rare the wound so wantouly and cruelly indicted. Mr. Manning was then nailed. He knew the handwriting of the defendant. The letters produced wean written by him. Mrs. Compton.—l am the mother of the plaintiff in this action. She was one and twenty last May. The defendant paid his addresses to her :lather more than two years ago. At that time my daughter was living with me. I am a widow, and carry on the farm that was my husband's. The defendant wrote to ply daughter, and I saw the letter. I thought him a very respectable young man, and bad no objection to her receleillg his addresses. —I knew that my daughter received Lonny letters.— He came often to my house ; his Goldman were perfectly sanctioned by me; he never made any etwoplaint of my daughter's minket ; he said he should make her his wife as nos as he w 7. in business. Hy danahter and he continued acniainteil twos then terms for a year and a half At the end of that time he called npnn my daughter, and I understood he wished to break off the match. I asked him the reams, and he said he had no reason, and might again visit me daughter. He has sine married another person. Ylie effect produced epos my daughter was very serious; she was very much blurts she meld sot be left by. herself; her mind was so distracted, that I was afraid she would bare made away with herself.
