first searing of her affeetionrite nature.
God forgive those, who, however indi-
rectly, cause such pangs as came to her
heart——earthly forbearance fails to pardon
the transgressor.
“Knowing, as I did,” ficoritinued her
friend, “ that you were aware, from the
first, of my sister’s engagenient to Mr.

that should do this effectually, and pass-

view of the horrors of the Slave 'I'ratle.-—
A captured slaver was brought in while
they were there atid they went on board

10 had died after her capiure. M r.

Gi-.n. Taylor as a Main. i
being on his way home to Kentucky, having
resigned his seat in the Senate to-canvass the
State for Governor. Mr. Crittenden never
could make a poor speech, and on this bccasioii
he made it very good one in commendation of
Gen. Taylor.
-General Taylor is a Whig.
This, Mr. Crittenden said, he declared
from his own knowledge. He is a Whig,
it good Whig, a thorough Vllliig. I know
him to be a Whig, but not nti ultra Whig.
All his political feelings are identified with
the Whig party.
Gen. Taylor is an honest Jlfan.
. - i
On the upriglitness of Gen. Taylors
character, Mr. Crittenden dwelt with great
earnestness, as a trait which he knew, and
felt, and admired. He said he was em-
pha,;,.,,|l’y an lumesl tnan, and he defied
the opponents of the old soldier to.bring
ought against him, Impeaclilng lil.~‘_ lip-
rightness in all his f|‘lHlStH‘.ll()|'lS, during a
public life of forty years. His appear-
auce and manners bear the impress of
‘such Slel‘~lll'lg‘ honesty. that pr.-culation,
meanness, and rascalitv are frightened
from his presence. Gen. 'wiggs,w.h0
has been on hal-).ts of intimate perstimil
intercourse with him, said to the speaker,
lately’ [hut ‘here “'35 nut 51 man If] the
ju-orlil, who had heeri in the con:pan_\ of
‘Gen ']‘-,,ylor five miiiiites, who would
{dare ma],-e an improper proposition to
‘him. Dishonesty fll'€S from his presence.
Gen. Taylor is a man. of great abilities.
His whole military life gave e\’iden('e
oftliis. He never comtriiited a blunders
or lost a battle. There is not another
man in the army who would have fpuizlit
the battle of Iéuena Vista but Gen. laylor
and not another who would have won It.
Examine the-whole history of his exploits,
in all their details, and you see the evi-
dence of far-reaching sagacity and great
ability.
G‘-en. Taylor is a man of Learning.
Not mere scholastic learning—-he has
never graduated at a college but his
mind is richly stored uith that practical
knowledge, which is a(-.quired from both
men and books. He is a deeply read
man, in all ancient and modern history
and in all matters relating to the practical
duties of life, civil and military. He is
intimate with Plutarch, said the speaker
-—a Plutarch hero hitnself, as bright as
ever adorn d the page of history. Gen.
Gibson-—you all know and love Gen. Gib-
son, one of your own I’ennsylvanians,ii
man whose. reputation for truth and honor
w'as proverbial, and whose word was al
ways the end of controversy, so implicitly
was it relied upon-——Gen. Gibson had told
liiiu, that he and Gen.Taylor had entered
the army nearly together, and had served
together almost constantly, until he, Gib
son, retired, and that during that time,
they had set together on seventeen Court
Martials, many of them important and
intricate cases, and in every single in-
stance, Z.-icliary Taylor had been appoitiled
to draw up the 0," inion of the Court-'-a
brilliant testimony to his superior abilities,
and ripe learning and practical knowl-
edge.
Gen. Tag/lor’s lzumaizily and sinzplicily o_/‘altar-
actor.
Gen Taylor is a plain, unassuming, un-
ost_ent:it:oiis, Qel’lll(‘miIlIl_\’ man. Tlicre is
nri pride, no foppery, no airs about hitn.
He possesses the utmost simplicity of
cliaracier. When in the army, he fared
just as his soldiers fared —ate the same
food—aiid underwent siinilai fatigue——for
fifteen months in Mexico, never sleeping
in a house one night. His humanity,
nindness and simplicity of character, had
won for him the love of his soldiers.
They could approach him at all times
He‘ never kept a guard around his tent,
or any pump or parade. He trusted his
soldiers and they trusted and loved him in
return. Not it drop of his soldiers‘ blood
was shed by him, during the campaign.
All the blood shed under his direction
was shed in battle. Vlle heat" of no trilli-
blood. His heart uioved to human woe,
and he was carefiil of the lives of his
soldiers, and humane to the erring, and to
the vauquislit.-d foe. He is kind, noble,
generous feeling——-a friend of the masses
—there is no ari.~tocr:icy about liim-—he
is a true Deinoi-rat. He uill adorn the
White Houre, and shed new light over
the fading and false L'emot-racy of the
day. which has gone far into its sere and
yellow leaf—lie will bring in ii true, vig-
orous, verdant, refresliing Democracy.
Gen. Taylor prescribes no man fat o12z°n2'on's
sake.
He is a good and true \Vhig, but he will
proscribe no man for a difference of opiri-
ion. He hates, lo-allies proscription. He
loves the ‘free independent utterance of
opttiion. He has commanded Whigs and
Democrats on the field of battle-has
wttnessed their patriotic devotion, and
invincible courage,while standing together
shoulder to shoulder—has seen them fight,
bleed and die together; and God forbid
he should proscribe anynian on nnooum
of a difference of political sentiments.
He would as soon think, said the speaker,
of running from a Mexican!
Gert. Tm/lor’s position,
Some object, said the speaker, to Gen.
Taylor, because he is frotn the South, and
is a slaveholder. Are we not one people’:
Do you not love the Union’! Have I not
the same rights as a Kentuckian, to all the
benefits of our glorious Union, that you

we are one consolidated people—and our

Gen. Taylor's habits.
He is a temperate man he never drank

The Frankfort (Ky.) Commomvealtli of the

Mr. Crittendeu:
D-0.
ASIILAND, June 22, 1848.
Dear Sir :———I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt ofyour lett-sr of the 20th
ins-t., delivered to me yesterday, by Sec-
retary Mitt-hell, tendering me a temporary
appointment of a Senator from Kentucky,
in consequence of a vacancy produced by
the resignation of Mr. Crittenden. \ our
Excellency is pleased to urge me to accept
the office from various reasons, which I
admit, possess considerable force. There
is much ground to apprehend that, both
in otir domestic. and foreign relations,
grave and momentous questions may arise,
the proper adjustment of which will
require all the moderation, wisdom and
experience which can be placed in the
national councils.
When you were kind enough some
weeks ago, to intimate to tile that you
had intended, in the event of the vacancy
which has since occurred, to offer tne an
Execiilive appointment, it is true that!
observed to you that, as I had taken for-
mal and final leave of the United States
Senate, I could not return to it without
apparent inconsistency and some personal
embarrassment But this was not the only
consideration that weiglied with me. My
service in the two chambers of Congress
had been long and arduous. I had re-
mained in the Senate longer than I wished
at the instance of the General Assembly
of Kentucky. I needed retirement and
repose; and there were may highly coin-
petent citizens of the State, from whom an
easy selection might be made to supply
my place.
Ifiliere were certainty that any great
emergency would arise, and that l, better
than any ollier, could assist in conducting
the Government safely through it, obeying
the paramount duty which one owes ever
to his country, I would suppress all repug-
nance which I feel to the resumption of
a seat in the Senate, disregard all etiquette
ma c any personal sacrilices, flll'l proceed
with aliicrity, to the post which might be
assigned me. But dark and threatening
as the clouds are which overhang us, I
hope that lliey will be dispersed without
any storm bursting upon our heads; but
if it should come, I am persiimletl that
the C-ommoiiivealtli has many citizens
more able than I am, to face and avert its
effect.
I must, therefore, adhere to the resolu-
tion which I had communicated to your
Excellency; and respectfully decline ac-
‘cepiing the appointment which you have
had the goodness l0 offer me.
If it were possible for me to reconcile
to my feelings, and to a sense of public
luty, my-return to the Senate, there are
some minor considerations opposed to my
acceptance of a temporary appointment,
not \\'ll.l|0lll. weight in my mind. The
scsslon of the Senate is drawing to a close.
By the time that I could make preparations
for the journey and reach Wa~hington, a
very short remnant of it would be left,
during which I could render no essential
service. And again: the Executive ap-
pointment terminating with the nieeting of
the General Assembly, that body will have‘
to perform the duty of designating Mr.
Crittenden’s successor. I an unwillihg
to be in a position which might occasion
it the least embarrassment in the choice
of that successor. .
I request your Excellency to accept my
profound acknowledgments for the distin-
,9_‘lll.~l]e(l proof of the confidence in me,
which you do me the honor to entertain
I have the honor to be,
With the. highest respect,

- (Br. Editors .'—For the first time, since
stepping on this bcautiful land, and look-
ing upon its wretched, degraded and up-
pressed population, I find myself at leis-
ure to indite an article for our “excellent”
paper, My \\‘l'l0l8 t_,i.m_e has been occu-.
pi._d in seeing what I never saw before,
and I pray God I may never see again-
scenes of destitutinn and suffering, such
as we have never imagined in otir land of?
abundance, could possibly exist in any.
To describe what I
have secn.is..impossible and could Isuc-
ceed in any approximation to the truth I
should not. be credited. England may
boast of her frecdotn, of her glory, of her
philanthropy, of her abolishment of Sla-
very, as much as she will, Ireland is a
living \\'llllt:‘SS, or rather, a starving testi-
mony of her monstrous wickedness, op-
pression and cruelty. She has, at the
present moment, 30,000 armerl men, hire-
ling soldiers, stationed in different parts
of this cotmtry, mostly in the south, but
some in every principal town, to keep the
people in subjection. To this vast array
should be added 1'2,(‘il)0 who meet us at
every turn, in every hamlet, and every
street of the cities, who gaze at us when
we enter in, and watch as when we go
out. The most striking -feature of every
town is its Barracks, Jail, Poor-house, and
Beggars. These are seen prominent,
everywhere. All connected with the
former, and the policetnen, look as if they
were well fed, while the oppressed die of
hunger. VVe have not made a stop in any
place or left it, without being beset with
beggars, of all ages and conditions, asking
for 11 “ li-.i'penny.” To give to one is to
call forty more around us. I had a lair
specimen of this the first morning after
landing. I had with me a bag of ginger-
czilteshpitovided for “sea-sicl«:ness.” As
that. danger was past for the present, I
thought I would distribute them. So, af-
ter taking my seat on the co::cli,l gave a
few to a poor old woman who asked me
for something. lmmedia ely twenty oth-
ers came flocking round like vultures
pouncing upon carrion. There were old
men and \vonieii in rags, boys and girls,
and even young women, slioeli-ss,liatless
and almost without clothes scrambling
upon the coach wheels, reaching out their
hands, with a “ Please, sir,” and “ lllay
God bless ye, and give ye long life.”
“ May Almighty God return ye safe,”.
“ May God reward ye in Heaven,” earn-

The I-‘ourth.
This anniv.ersnry of our National Indepen-
dence passed off with very little ocliit, with us.
To the children and adult juveniles, is due all
the credit. of celebrating in the least, the rcturti
of that g‘aorious day. Many of our citizens
left for the neigliboring villages oi'betook'them-
selves to the sailing craft which line our lltll‘l.)l')l'.
There was liowever, en incessant crackiiig and
snapping of fire-ci'ackei's, kept up by the boys
about our streets, who did not fail to show that
they had itibibed the spirit of independence in .
its largest sense.
At Stamford, the day was celebrated about.
as emlittsiiisticailly as with us.
At Daubury, there was something of it public
iiianifestzitioii among the Teniperiiiice people. 3

spirit. Bridgeport against the world, she al-l

J. P. THOMPSON, of N. Y. made one of lllsl
brilliant efforts oil that occasion, and all in all.
it was no iiiconsidemble iiffair.
At St.i'atf'oi'd, the patriotism of the people
also manifested itselfiti a public tlcmoustratioii.
At. Milfoid, the citizens got up a very spirited
celebration. H}:2.\'RY T. .flUG(;‘I1\’S, Esq. of
I31-klgeport. delivered a pat.riot.ic oration, which;
we hear highly compfimcnted. |
New Haven, appears to have taken pattern '
of us, as they celebrated the day ninch as wel
did. The day was principally given to ext-ui'— ,
sions. The st eiimer 'I‘rave.lloi' left for Bridge-l
port in the iiiorning with a thousand piissengers. ,
Hartford, observed the day in a manner cred-
itable to “her rank among nations,” located
like unto us, ‘at the head of sloop ii-.ivigation."
The celebratioii was got up 0!] an extensive
scale, and Well cttrried out.
At Boston, there were the usual public mati-
ifestatioiis, with iiti iucreiiscd ni.nibi~-r of acci-

many scenes witnessed since.
The Teacher of the South Center District
School, having been obliged to resort to the
infliction of punishment. by the use of the rod
to maintain good government in said school;
the parent oftlie child, upon whom the |.unisl1—
ment was inflicted, made complaint to it Grand
Juror, who commenced a prosecution against
the teacher, which resulted, on investigation
before a magistrate, in the complete acquittal of
the accused; it appearing in evidence that the
application of the rod was justly deserved and
judicously applied. The inlialiilatits ofthe dis-
trict, indigunnt at the prosecution thus instituted
against a worthy and popular teacher, called at
meeting of the district for the purpose of ex-
pressing their sctititneiits on the subject. The
meeting was held oti the evening of the 526th
ult. and orgaiiized by the appoiiitnieut; of Chas.
Tlioiiins, Chairman and Levi Clark, Secl'elary°
A committee was appointed to draft resolutions
for tho conside-ral.ion of the meeting, when the
adopted :-
Wlzereas, Mr. Charles Olmstead, the
teacher of the South Centre District School
has been unnecesszirily prosecuted for
adopting such measures as in otir judgment
were required to maintain good govern-
ment and discipline in said School: and
W"/ieieus, we the parents and guardians
of the children comprising said school,
have the tiiost unbounded confidence in
the ability and judgment of said Olmstead
and the utmost respect for him as a man
of unblemished character and principles;
therefore,
Resolved, That we consider the punish-
ment inflicted by Mr. Olmsted, for which‘
the said prosecution was inst’ituted,justly
de_served,'~a_nd not more severe than was.
necessary to sustain the rules and govern-i
ment of the school. i
Resolved, That we must regard the
course pursued by the Grand Juror, Jo/tn_

tion, and the means employed by him to
sustain the same, uncalled for, and calcu-
lated to frustrate rather than to promote-
tlie ends of justice.
Rosolverl, That ' we approve ’of- the
method of teaching and government pur-
sued by Mr. Olmsted in his school, and
would hereby express our gratification
for the exertion made by him for the im-
provement of his pupils’, both in regard to
their studies and moral training.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to
sustain Mr Oltnsted in his efforts to main-
tain good order and discipline in his
school, being perfectly satisfied that his
good judgment and discretion have not
led, and will not hereafter lead him to
adopt any measures which are not calcu-
lated to promote the best interests of the
