The following letter from Lewis ZA`NER, Esq„con
tains the particulars of the discovery of the remains
of the little daughter of Mrs. Williams, whose ab
sence we gave an account of some weeks since.—
It will be seen that the fears of the parents have
been realized, and the unfortunate child has proba
bly wandered through the wilderness, until fatigue
and• hunger overpowered her, and Death came
to end 'der sufferings. None but a parent can re
alize the distress and anguish such an occurrence
creates—the be wildering fears—the half -relinquieh
ed hopes--the fearful watching. and search, until
at last, even the remotest hope is abandoned to the
dreary gloom of the.certainty that all chance of re
covery is hopeleis. We notice almost every weak,
in our exchanges, the particulars of some such dis.
tiessing occurrence, and it is a bright spot in hu
man nature, to observe how ready the community
ire to sympathize with the afflicted in such cases,
and to endeavor by diligent and interesting search,
to return the lost to the arms from which they have
wandered •
F.. 0. GOODRICH :-Sir-A child of Mrs. Williams
disappeared from Laporte on the 29th of June last.
Diligent search was made then, and at many sub
sequent times, but all in_ vain, until yesterday alter
•ncon, some of the remains were accidently found
by Mr. Foust in coming to Laporte from his house.
They were about a mile and a half north of here.—
Several persons from Laporte returned with him to
make search for and recover the remains.
All that were found, and the clothes which were
identified by the mother, were buried in the bury
ing ground at Laporte this afternoon.
I was called upon for the purpose of holding an
Inquest, but on account of tee entire decay of the
body, it was thought better to dispense with it.

THE BRADF I D REP I RTE
ft is my intention to. ao justice to the living and
the dead; and, in writingthese papers, I shall avoid
all partizan bias or feeling. I mean to mite of An
drew Jackson, the man, the statesman, and soldier,
but not of Andrew Jackson the partizan and leader
of one of the most powerful parties that ever exist
'lin this country.
The first time I had any intercourse with this ce
lebrated man, was in the year 1821. As 'I was
crossing the Esplanade, in the city of Nashville, on
a very warm and sultry day in the month of June,
I met him near the State linage, aceompanied by
Doctor Bronough, his then military surgeon and
friend, and two or three other individuals of emi
nence. He stopped me, somewhat abruptly, and
said to me, " I will thank you, young man, to sign
this paper. It is * remonstrance against chattering
a score or more of Banks. Come, my young friend,
don't hesitate ; step over the way to Stephen Can.
trell's store, sign it at once, and whatever is to be
done must be done quickly. There's no time to
be lost, if we expect to nip these banking swind
ling schemes in the bud I"
I was half inclined to offer some opposition' to
the loan of my signature ; bat, as I was satisfied
that the General was right, I did "step over the
way to Stephen Cantrell's store;" and then and
there signed the remonstrance, The General was
very much excited, for be had not band all on
whom he called to be pliant to his will ; not a few
had paused to discuss the merits of the banking
question—a question to him at all times, and in all
its phrases, superlatively odious. When I had re
corded my signature, he was pleased to say tome,
II yen have done that today, young gentleman,
which will through life redound to your honor !"
With this remark, he departed on his mission of
remonstrance. 'He obtained a large number of sig
natures in the city of Nashville and the adjacent
county; and, having prepared himself fur any em
ergency that might 'occur, he proceeded to Mar
freesborough, where the 'Legislature of Tennessee
was in session, and in person presented the remon
strance to the speaker, at the bar of the House. of
Representatives. He took the liberty to exercise
this strange privilege of - Parliament, inasmuch as
the Freedom of the House had been voted him by
an anterior legislature.' The odious bank bill was
under discussion at the time the remonstrance was
presented, and Gen. Jackson took the liberty topre
sent his views on the subject. He denounced it as
an abomination, a scheme to swindle and defraud
and, handing up his remonstrance, he stated its na
ture and contents; and adder', if any man voted for
the bill then pending, he would be guilty of trea
son to the trusts confided to him by his constituen
cy, and if indicted, a jurt. of twelve men would find
him guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury.
I was at'Murfreesboroogh at the time this scene
transpired, but did not happen to be in the Legisla
ture at the moment. The utmost excitement fol
lowed it, as a matter of course; but it was of that
description that produced a death-like silence.—
Some moments elapsed before the Assembly reco
vered itself; when two of its members, Adam Hunts
man, and e man named Miller, ion and protested
against the action of General Jackson, and the en
tire pros ling. They protested rather in behalf of
the dignity of the Legislative body, whose legiti
mate fuhetions, they alleged, bad been invaded,
rather than in defence of the bank bill. Both, how
ever, had ultimate cause to regret the course they
had adopted ; for the rapidly increasing popularity
of theMemel absorbed every thing and demolish
-sod every thing that 'opposed it. Mr. Miller, I be
lieve, never politically recovered from the shock
his conduct provoked; bat Mr. Huntsman, by re•
moving to a distant portion of the State, where be
ultimately became an advocate of Genet)] *lt
son's fortunes and political creed, ultimately restor
ed himself, and subsequsedy reached the Ameri
can Congress, where he sustained the General's
administration, though he professed to be a Judge
White man.
Whatever might have been said, or whatever
was said, in reference to the bold and somewhat
arbitrary course of conduct General Jackson par"-
ed on the occasion in question, it was, beyond all
possible doubt, the means of saving Tennessee from
the distress, absolute misery, and approximating
anarchy, that bad already been inflicted on Ken
tucky and Ohio, by the banking mania that had be•
set them, and which had already began todevelop
Welt. in all its blighting consequences and depra
vity.

ing boors, and bank,and therefore made
up my mind to wait t ill Ft morning, ere I . at
tempted to do anything. In the mean time, I :vad
at myself el a beautiful moonlight night, and a va
cant hoar, to look at the Elephants of the magnifi
cent city of Subersville. The first object that awa
kened my curiosity, was the building occupied by
the " President, Directors, • and Company of the
Bank of Bathersville." I vris indebted to the cour
tesy of the only servant that was in the hotel, for a
personal' inspection of the maxi& of the edifi.ve.---
It was composed of _tound logs, dove-tailed togeth
er at the ends, and was, I should think, about fif
teen feet long, by six or eight in width, and might
have been six or seven feet high. And this was
the banking house that had already inundated the
State of Kentucky with a series of beautiful bank
notes, fegraved by Murray, Draper, Fairman, and
Company, of every denomination, from one dollar
to one thousand. To me, the edifice was an deo
lute novelty, though it did not seem to awaken the
especial wonder of my conductor, the bonder.
The jail was indeed a curiosity, in architecture
as well as Utility. It was composed of legs, erect•
ed on a superstructure and base of the same mate
rial, perched at least five-and-twenty feet in the air.
It was approached bv„ a ladder, which its keeper
put up and took away, as necessity, convenience,
or his caprice dictated. The main door was confi
ned by placing the - shaft of a tree, some fifty feet
in length, against it, butt-end foremast, while the
smaller end rested on the ground. The great weight
of the shaft rendered it a formidable means of se
curity and confinement, for it took at least a dozen
men to move it. That it Aid afford abundant means
of confinement, was proved by the fact, that at the
time I saw it, it contained two incamenued victims
under sentence of death for mustier.
Having seen quite as much of Barbersviile as I
desired, I went to bed, slop soundly, and the next
morning, at 10 o'clock, I called en Col. Joseph
Eve, the President, and Mr. Benjamin Tuggle, the
Cashier, of the Bank of Bashersville, and asked
them to liquidate the claim I presented.
Col. Joseph Eve was a good looking man, and
seemed to be in possession of some of the qualities
of civilization ; but Mr. Benjamin Toggle, Cashier,
was a very different kind of personage. He was
blind of an eye ; his face bore definite marks of
many a bloody affray ; and the haft and hilt of the
long bowie knifa that protruded from his bosom,
made quite an unfavorable impression on my fan
cy. Col. Eve looked at the cheque I presented,
and remarked that although Col. Johnson's claim
on the bank was a good one, he could not tell
what to do with it, until he had a meeting, of the
honorable board of directors. To facilitate the object
of my visit as rapidly as possible, he said be would
call a meeting of that important body at ones.
Hereupon, Mr. Joseph Eve applied a hunter's born
to bis mouth,
a Aid blinr• blue se had sal dryad,"
that it reached the very peeks el the mountains, and
summoned the directors to attend to the business of
the bank ! in ell geed time, the it twelve " made
their apporinee. They were clad in beating
shirts mil moccasins, and looked very moth like
twelve men who had no especial awake indeed@
of heedful new. A consecution took place its
side el the banking home, which did net hat lon,
before Col. Joseph Eve toe& his appmenes, and
informed me the directory had decided that they

When the federal Constitution was presented to
the people by the Convention of 17117, every State
in the Union eneeping Massachnetts, held slaves.
Little Rhode Wand held more than 1000 ; Column
Beat, nearly WOO ; New York, 25,0e0; New Jer
sey, 12,000, and Pennsylvania 4000. Yet masons
had already been adopted by N. Hampshire, Rhode
Wand, Connecticut and Pennsylvania for the speedy
abolition of slavery, and steps wets in preparation
for it which aeon followed, in New York and New
Jersey. In Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and North
Coolie the most enlightened portion of the people,
all the political leaders, regarded slavery with hos
tile feelings and looked forward to its extinction
at no remote period. And every ooe of these States
was opposed to any extension of this institution be
yond the rigions which it then occupied. South
Carolina and Geoqpi stood alone in contending for
the slave trade, and the prepetnation of slavery.—
And even they did not look beyond its perpetua
tion within their own boundaries. They do not
seem at early period to have thought of its exten
sion. But after the aequisition of Louisiana, they
began to see, though not every clearly, an instru
ment of political power in the extension of slavery.
Mississippi and Alabama had already been ceded
to the Union, under as provision for the security of
slavery, and were regarded as prospective slave
States. Lonsiina was extensive enought for sever
al Stites, and already contained slaves.—And thus,
in Mississippi and Alabana,and the States that would
rise in Lonnie's*, they began to see a balance to the
five new Bee States of the Northwestern Territory,
and perhaps enough to arm the slave States with a
majority in Congress. .
This policy was fully developed and almost
plainly avowed, when Missoun applied for admiss
ion ; and since that time the slave-holding interest
if the South have been indefatigable in striving to
extend slavery as an instrument of political power.
But why abould the: South desire the control of the
federal Government ! In former days, national
Banks and high Tariffs furnished the answers to
Mine questions.- And though these questions are
settled for the present, and may not soon be reviv
ed, yet while slavery endures we mug expect a
ilaissrence of opinion upon national policy between
the free and slave States. But waiving these ques
tions as thing, of the part, and if of the future, not of
the present, we proceed to mention a new element
of difierence between the Bee and slave States,
which impels the latter to seek control of the fede
ral Government This is the executive patronage.
Once inconsiderable, it has become extensive, and
now operates upon the South like that oldie British
Government upon the English aristocracy. The
army, the navy, the judiciary, the salaried °Moen
al Washington, are now regarded by southern poli
&am as an important provision for the slave-bold
ing interest
All this results from the peculiar constitution J
slavery, espeeially in South Carolina, Louisiana,
sad ewe Abets of the slave &sites. The sate
government callooth Carolina is an arida:secy.—
Seffrage is extensive. But eligibility being depen
dent on a [ergs amount of property, the , legislative
and executive power, and the representation in
either Rouse at Cowen, must be confined to a
rich oligarchy. Avicuhure, conducted by slavery,
though requiring careful superintendence, doss
not require that of the owner. The wealthy plan
ter is not confined to his business, like the merchant
or the farmer of the free States. Depending on
agents 'and overseers, he can find leisure for poli
tics, and thus converts them into a node, a source
of profit, as well as of ambition. And as slavery
always exhausts every community in which it
predominates, end consequently , as slave-holding
aristocracies decay, they seek in office the income
and position which Abair wealth once adorned.—
Seems we find the members of decayed southern
famifies,once wealthy as well as datinguishedlcen
*sally besieging Presidents for office, and contin
ually preferred, by slave-holding Presidente„to citi
zens of the free States. We must also consider
the bidden°. of primogeniture, necessarily fostered
by slavery. The sole foundation of slavery is agri
culture, and the preservation of a family • depends
upon keeping the landed mate Undivided. This

As mamma am or Goco.—Gne hundred miles
in extent, has been discovered in California, on
America Fork and Feather rivers, tributaries of
the Sacremento, near Monterey. Mr. Colton, the
Alacakle of Monterey, states that the gold is f.mnd
in the 061 3, in grains resembling squirrel shot,
flattened on Some grains weigh an ounce each.
It is got by washing out the Sand .in any v e ssel,
from a tea saucer to a swarming pan. A single
person can gather an ounce or two a day, and some
even -a hundred dollars worth. Two thousand
whites and as many Indians are un the ground.
All the Americans, settlements are deserted, and
burning nearly suspended. The women' only re
main in the settlements. &dins and - captains, de
sert the ships to go to the gold region, and laborers
refuse ten dollars a day to work on the farms.
Mr. Colton says One man, who resides hest
door to me i gathetd five hundred dollars worth in
six days. He has ohe lump which weighs an ounce.
A trough such as You' feed pigs in, will bring in
the gold region fifty dollars. Put a piece ef sheet
iron, punched with holes, on it, and it will bring a
hundred. My friend J. It. paid sixteen dollars - for
a little basket, and his - companion 6ve twenty for
a chamber pot—all to wash out thegold in."
More than twenty thousand dollars worth had
been collected. Gov. Mason Ad his aid had gone
to the district which is five days journey from
Monterey. a The natives have gone for gold, the
sailors have ruin from the ships, and the soldiers
from their camps,. for the same purpose. The last
Vessel that left the coast was obliged to ship an en-.
tire new crew, and pay each fifty dollars a month.
No one can be hired to dig gold short of sixteen or
twenty dollars a day—he prefers working on his
own hook—he may make less than that, but he
has a chance of making much more. There flour
is worth $32 per barrel; 15 lbs of Boston crackers
in tin boxes, SIO a box; a cotton shirt Sp; boards
$5OO per 100 feet. A carpenter can get 1;100 per
day. Mr. L. paid 'for a common cradle trough 12
feet by 3 wide, to wash gold. earth - in $l5O. Less
than aday's work to make it •
Mt Potts or Ravvroc.—There is nothing more
foolish, nor mote productive of misery to yourself,
than revenge. Banish all malignant and revenge
ful thoughts. They make the best face look ugly.
If your revenge be not . satisfied, it wit give you
torment now ; if it be, it will give you greater here
after. None is a, greater self-tormentor than. a ma
licious and revengeful person, who toms the poison
of his own temper upon himself. The Christian
precept in this ease is, " Let not the sun go down
upon your wrath;" and this precept, Plutarch tells
us, the Pythagoreans practised in I literal sense—
" If at any time ' ili in a passion, they broke nut into
opprobrious lan age, before the sun set they•gave
one another their hands, and with them a discharge
from all injuries and so, with mutual reconcilia

Row Smasatsibliss &Ono - Es.—Some of the most
feringuished rtatoralists Of the world believe that
spiders have this art of crossing streams of waters
on bridgaiof their own making. Mr. Spencer re
lates the follow4ng curious. fact. t: Having placed
a large, full-grdwn spider, on a cane_ upright in the
miditof a stream of water, he saw it descend the
cane several times, and remount. when it arrived
at the surface of the water. Soddenly he lost sight
Of it wholly; brit a few minutes afterwards, to his
great astonishment, he perceived it quietly purtmi
ing its own way on the other side Of the stream.
Having spun two threads along the cane it had but
one of them; vihich carried by the viind, had -be
