on peril of riiy displeasure. He was silent
and looked cast down; but he, saw I was
determined and Ibelieved he would notdiso-
bev me. A few evenings after, I saw a
light in the work shop after the usual time
and I went to enquire into it. I had on my
slippers and my step made but little or no
sound. The upper part of the door is set
with glass. I so iv Lucy tvasfinishing offa

It appeared that they were for hiiu, and he
insisted on be: trying them on his hand.
Her's, poor thing seemed to tremble.
The glove would not go on, but it came oil
and their hands met withoutglovcs, and a
nice fit they were. I burst in upon them.
I asked John ifthis was his obi-dience to me
and I told Lucy to quit my service iminedi-
ately, Now the whole matter is past, I
must do John the justice to say he stood by
her like. a man. He said this was a matter
in which he could not obey me. He had
given his heart and promised his hand to
Lucy, and she owned she loved him—l.im
who was not worthy ofher love. He said
too, something of my having hitherto been
a kind father and a kind man ; and he would
not believe that the first case of my doing a
wrong, would be to the orphan girl, whom
Providence had placed under our roof.
Ma’am you will wonder that I hardened m_y
heart to all this, but you know that anger is
said to be short madness, and so it is; and
besides, there is nothing makes us so deaf to
reason and true feeling, as the stinging sense
we are willfully doing wrong. I was harsh
and John lost his temper; and poor Lucy
cried,and was too frightened to speak: and
it ended with my telling Lucy she should
not stay another day in my house, and John
that if he did not obey me, my curse should
be upon him.
The next morning they had both cleared
out and every body thought they had gone
offto be married; and so Ibclieved till night,

of cruelty; and then followed high words,
such as should never pass between father
and son; and it ended in my turning him
from the door. Ido not wonder you turn
away but hear me out. Saturday night
three days after, John came home an altered
man. He was as humble, as if he only had
been wrong. He begged niv pardon, and
promised to obey me in all things but mar-
rying Amy Btince. I give up Lucy father.
he said, but I cannot marry anybody else. I
forgave hiin—from the bottom of my heart 1
forgave him--and I longed to ask him to
forgive me; but I had not come to that yet.
I had asked him what had brought him
back to duty. He put in my hands a letter
he had received from Lucy. She had per-
severed in not seeing him—biitsuch a letter
Ladies! if ministers could speak so to the
heart, there would be no sin left in the world.
She said she had deserved to stiffer, for car-

should never have any peace of mind till she

again. The paper was blistered with tears
from fopto bottom: but saving and excepting
that ma’am, there was nothing from which
you could guess what it cost her to write the
letter.

within me. I found her that very night,

And there was one of the most touching

The Governrnent.-—It would seem from
recent occurrences, and the present state of
things at lllashington. that a new exporimeiit
is to be tried by the administration. which is
to carry on the public afiiiirs without mon-
ev and without credit. There is a strug-
gling between the Legislative and Executive
branches of the government, which prognos-
ticates nothing good for the country. It
seem to be a contest for the ascendency—
whether, in short the legislative or the exec-
utive power shall decide the character of the
laws. The frequent, and very extraordinary
exercise ofthe veto power by the present
chief magistrate, is producing much uneasi-
ness, not to say alarm in the community, for
the future safety and independence of the
The tendency of the
present course of things is to force upon-the
public mind the apprehension, that it will
not be long before the whole course of legis-
lation will be directed by executive authori-
ty, or that the business of the legislative
hranch ofthe government will be arrested.
-That it is in the power of the Executive, by
the use of his veto, to bring things to such
a pass cannot be doubted. At the same time
the attempt on the part of that officer to pro-
duce such a crisis, necessarily involves the
idea ofa gross abuse of power. It must go
upon the ground, that every measure, before
it is submitted to the Houses of Congress for
consi-lerittion, must be laid before the Presi-
dent, for the purpose of ascertaining if it will
meet with his approbation. as otherwise. (ht?

The effect ofsiich a system would beto debase

VVe can scarcely conceive ofany motive

Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.
Tunnsnav, July 21.
Mr Calhoun presented a petition from
citizens of Middle-sex co, Virginia, in favor
of free trade appended to which was the letter
of Gen. Harrison, written at Zanesville in
1836, with regard to his views of the Com-
romise Act.
Theletter having lecn read,-—
Mr Calhoun said it contained an exact,
explicit, and solemn declaration from Gen.
Harrison,that-he would never agree to change
the Ciirnpriiinise Act.‘ ‘
Mr Crittendi-n remarked that be supposed
that the object ofthis proceeding of the Sr‘fl'

Congress. , , ,
Mr Calhoun observed, that although he
had opposed Gen. Harrison politically. ht?
pcrsonal_ly had entertaiiied the greatest re-
Spect for him; and after be repeated what
he said when he first arose,—
Mr Archer inquired of the Senator wheth-
er he would go above 20 per cent, if he was
satisfied that ilie iiiiiouiit would not be suffi-
cient for the support of the Gov+'rnmé=nt.
Mr Calhoun siid he would never go he-
vond twenty per cent. as long as the amount
with the proceeds ofthe public lands, would
be necessary to carry out the Government.
and that too, after a rctrenchinentand reforiii
in its expenditures.
Mr Calhoun detailed the circumstances
attending the passage of the couiproinise act;
and in justifying his firuier political conduct.
He cast his eye towards l\’lr Preston, who
was engaged in conversation with Mr Crit-
tr-nden. Apparently supposing that his col-
league was making some remarks in relation
to himself, he observed that he would give
his colliague an opportunity to make any
reply which he may think proper. .
Mr Preston inquired what did the gentle-
uian say ?
Mr Calhoun—Ls-t it pass.
Mr Preston -1 shall call on the Senator
more formally.
Mr Calhoun, however, proceed. cl wi li
his remarks, and in conclusion he invited
any $_It‘nl.lt’tll:In to point to a single inconsist-
l‘llI vote which he had given for the last I4
years.
Mr Preston rose evidently nnuch excited,
and said that. the Senator from South Caroli-
na had made some remarks in relation to
him, and he asked him what it was.
Mr Calhoun explain:-rl and observed that
he hail seen his colleague speaking in a
lower tone of vo’ce to the Senator behind
him, and he was inclined to let his colleagiie
if be (Mr Preston) had any thing to say ad-
versely, to state it. But rt-collecting that he
had appealed to the gentleman hastily, he
had refrained from repeating the invitation.
l\-lr Preston stigniatiserl it as a gross
breach ofthe order ofthe Senate to alludeto
what a Senator might say privately in or out
of the Senate. He. did not stand in any nt't'(l
of the challvge of his colleague; and he gave
him to understand that whenever a qucstifon
arose which required him to spvalc, he woiild
make his remarks in such a manner as
he thought proper. It was not right in hiui
(.Vlr Calhoun) or any other senator to call
on him (Mr Preston) to repeat what he
might say out of the Senate, or what was not
heard in theSi-nate. ll he should say anythiiv:
against the Senator, he h:id a right to call
for explanations. lfany thing was said out
ofthe Senate, he was ready to answer otit of
the senate. _
Mr Calhoun said that his colleague had
assumed a lofty tone: but-—-
Mr Preston. Yourre iiiaiks uerc unpar
liamentar-y altogether.
Mr Calhoun continued. ~ The gentleman
ought to have taken my explanation as ain-
ple.
l\lr Preston arose, and was proceeding to
make some remarks. wli"en
Mr Czlhoun asked the gentleman not ‘to
interrupthim. .
The chair called to order and much ex-
citement prevailed. '
Mr Calhoun observed that what he intend
ed to say to his colleague when he saw him
in close conversation was, that if be (Mr
Calhoun) had omitted or p-issvd over any
thing in justifyinr_r his political course, he
would call upon him (M r Preston) to say so.
The senator might make the most of it.
Mr Preston (‘.Hl'll(‘ll(lt‘t'l that the allusion to
him was unparliamenta ry and
Mr Calhoun said this was for the Senate
to decide, and not his colleagiie.
Mr Archer expressed the hope that the
matter between the Senators would here ter-
minate. and that no lll’1plt':)S:ll‘ll.Cnl’lS"(]|1Pl'l(!lS

the British Parliament. in favor of Free Trade
or low duties as affordiiig most Revenue and
the best Protection. It was published in Ben-
neti’s Herald, the British organ here, and in
every way forced into circulation. The follow-
ing extraci fioin a late spec-cli of Mr. Randolph
of N. J., exposes a partofthe knavery of this
pretended Report:

Frau-rls ofthe Bu_fli(L/0 Banks on the Safe-
t_7/ Fu.rtcl.—Thi-. recent astound ing disclosures
by the State Comptroller, of the cnormotis
frauds perpetrated upon the Safity Fund by
the Bank of Buflalo, are cfsurh a character
us must give st-rioiis alarm to all reflecting
men. It has been supposed that flit’ Sifrty
Fund providr-d ample security to the public
against loss on notes of the Safety Fund
Banks; but this supposed security is wholly
r.lt.-stroyed by the villainy oft-.vo of the Buffa-
lo Banlis, in fraudulently and clandestinely
issuing a much larger amount than the law
allows.
The circulation ofthe Bank of Buffilo is
limitcd by law to $200,000. The Controller
has alreadv actually redeemr-d $287,812‘,
showinga fraudulent issue of $187,812, and
probably more to come-
The circulation ofthe Commercial Bank
of Bufliilu is limited by law to $200,000. It
h »s issued 8388.257 showing a fraudulens
issue of $188,257. The consequences of,‘
these frauds is, that the poor laborers and
others, who are holding the notes of some-
of the broken Safety Fund Banks, in,-
Stead of getting paid by the Comptroller in
one year, will not get paid sooner than 1845
if they do so soon. ,
The names of the President, Cashier and
Directors of these fraudulent Banks, ought
to be made public, and held upto the scorn of
honest men. It behooves the sound and.
honest Banks to do this_——and not to stand by-
and look on quietly, and permit such robbers-
of the hard oarnintr of the laboring man to,
escape with impunity —N. Y. Jour. Com.
