From the Washington Union.
Truth and Poetry combined.
We are proud of the honor of laying the follow
e ing beautiful verses, from the pen of a lady, before
the readers of the " Union." They are the noblest
specimen of poetry which we haye read for many
a year, and worthy of being placed upon the same
towering column on Which are inscribed the admi
rable and popular verses of the late high minded
Francis S. Bey, esq., of this city:
The star-'spangled banner, tong may it wave.
O'er the land of the free anti the home of the brave.
They breathe the same patriotic spirit, and are
expressed in the same glowing eloquence of the
muse, The highly respected and distinguished
friend in Pennsylvania, who encloses them .to us
says, that they:vvere written for the Union at my
request, for the purpose of bringing home to the
hearts of our countrymen the principal points in
dispute between our government and the Mexicans;
and with the hope that the simple truth, when told
in song, will aid in promoting a proper state of
public sentiment in regard to a vigorous prosecu
tion of the war. The song was written by a lady
who is as mush distinguished for- Ler Christian
piety as she is for her talents as a writer. In days
of old, the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, ant: he
would not let the children of Israel go. In mod
ern times, we have the same madness anti hardness
of heart. The Mexicans will nut let the gallant
sons of Texas enjoy that freedom and independence
to which they are entitled. The destiny of ty
ranny will be the same now that it was in the ol
den time. There is an overruling Providence in
these matters. Those who do not see it now, will
- see it after a little space of time."
songon the proposition to surrender to illerican
barbarity and tyranny the land between the Nuctes
and the Rio Grande—the battlefield of Palo Alto and
Resaca de la Palma.
It may not be ! Forbid it, God !
Forbid it, all that patriots prize:
That land has tasted freemen's blood ;
Their dust within its bosom lies.
'Twere madness to resign the soil
Or. which our conquering feet have trod
Battling our way with glorious toil ;
It may not be—forbid it, God I
Can Ise relinquish lands where now
The striped and starry banners wave
No, never! We engrave our vow
On every fa'len brother's grave.
L They could not sleep, (the slaughtered brave
Who in their beds ofglory rest,)
And feel the footstep of the slave
, Pollute the soil above their breast.
Resign the field Ire Rusamm fell I
The spot where anent STLVENS lies!
Where COCURAN felt his bosom swell
Triumphant in d th's agonies?
Where brave and irtuous hearts pour'd out
The life so de to hope and love,
Invoking with ifieir dying shout
Our country—and our God above?
Not By our country and our God,
We will not yield that dear bought soil!
We still have hearts with generous blood,
And souls to dare the conqueror's toil.
On ! To the rescue ! Hearts of steel—
,
•
On!. To the rescue! Souls of fire—
.
Let kindred blood inflame our zeal
~. To conquer—triumph—o r expire.
}luzza! Press on where Taylor stands,
Invincible in conquering might;
We must prevail where be commands,
And God sustains our sacred right.
Ask Taylor to retrace his way,
And leave his conquest to the foe!
And this broad land from sea to sea,
Shall echo his emphatic NO!!
No, never! this is holy ground,
Bought and baptised .vith patriot blood,
See! with her fetters half unbound,
She lifts her hands to Freedom's God !.
By Freedom's God, shall she be free!
Huzzah! brave hearts press boldly on,
Strike bomb, nor pause till victory
Shall put her olive garland on—
Till o'er that land to utmost parts
Our Eagle's sheltering wings are spread;
And Taylor throned on freemen's hearts
Enjoys his laurels in their shade.
A Touching Piclure.
Wend in a little volume entitled "Tales of,
the Sacraments," published by W. J. Cunningham'
of this city, a story in which there are such occa•
rional pictures of real life, that we cannot refuse'
to find place for a very touching extract from one
of them. The story exhibits a family half Cath
olic, and so to speak, three fourths Brotestant—
Catholic by baptism, Protestant by ed(cation. Of
the two eldest daughters, one marries a Protestant
nobleman, who takes it for'granted that Protestant
ism is the religion for making this world one's
treasure, and therefore Catholics, should consider
the world to come as their portion--but who takes
a Catholic wife. The other sister, Hiss Forester,
in the midst of irreclaimable frivolity, is suddenly
taken sick and placed on her dying bed. She will
not listen to the thought of dying; but Julia, who
is the married sister, sees that she has no longer to
live, and her conscience tells her that her sister
should not die without reconciling herself to God.
Here follows the awkward Way that she managed
the matter between her conscience and her bus
band:
'Charles,' said Lady Norham. when the physician
had left them, •is it not usual—is it not the thing,
in these cases, to send for some one to say prayers,
or read?'
'Upon my ,word I believe it is,' said his lord
ship.
Mien will you send for some one,' said she.
send for some one,' exclaimed Lord Norham.
know no more of these matters, thin you, Julia
ryou could not come to a worse person.'
'Dr. Bright says she. is dying,' said Lady Nor.
ham.
'Well, if dying people are to be read to, cannot
you read to her yourself?'
'Oh! I could not. I should not know what to
read; and Georgy would not listen to me. She
would only laugh.
'But some one in the house knows what to read,
I suppose,' said he.
Lady Norham hesitated a little; at length she
said—'l suppose these prayers ought to be some-I
thing very particular, for I believe we are—that
is, poor mamma wished, and we were both intend I
ed to be—Catholics.'
'Well, there is a Catholic bookseller close by, in
Duke street; at least I suppose so by the crucifixes
in the window. Get some books from him'
Lady Norham turned to leave the roam. 'lf I
did but know,' said she, how to find the persons
who sing High Mass, and all that sort of thing,
in Warwick-street chapel, or at the one near Man•
cheister•square; but I do not.'
She.looked really distressed, and Lord Norham
was diSOssed for her.
'11; I .4ould do any thing to relieve you, Julia,'
said he,- 4 .1 would; but this sort of business is com
pletely out of thy way. I could have settled
Georgiana well in this world : but as to her estab
lishment in the next-2
Perhaps the books eller you mentioned might
know,' said Lady Nor ham.
'Know what?' said her husband, smiling.
'Where the gentlemen live who perform in War
wick street,' said. she. 'Ah, do not smile now,
Charles; really it is very distressing.'
'kis, it is,' said his lordship. 'I had no inten
tion whatever to hurt your feelings, Julia; and 1
assure you I could not have smiled at your little
equivoque bad I believed that it was really all up
with poor Georgy. But I would match her own
options against all the doctors.'
LiUly Norham leaned against the chimney-piece,
and :began to weep. 'Well, Julia, only tell me
what you wish,' said he. 'Shall I ring for some
one?' and the bell was rung. Lord Norharn's Ital
ian valet appeared, was made to understand who,
and what; were wanted; and, in a transport of pi
ous surprise; engaged to fetch one of his very good
friends,.a'pripst, from the next chapel-house.'—.pp,

THE lILT/lIIAT
HT LTDIA . .7.1.1TE PIERSON
The next extract we make is a sample of the
kind of principle illustrated and urged by Miss
Agnew, and the moral of it is one of application
wider than to.the marriage relation alone.
'After the Rev. Mr. Russell had taken his leave
of Lady Norham. she went in search of her hus:
'hand; whose sympathy and real concern at the loss
they had sustained, was most soothing to her feel
ings. But it was not to receive this consolation
that Julia now sought Lord Norham, and she said
to him, 'Charles, when little Albert was born, you
promised that you would grant me whatever I
should request of you, however difficult and ex
traordinary it might replied that I had.no
wishes; but you added that I might remember or
think of some, and that your promise was not lim
ited to a month or a year. Now then I claim it—
now in this time of bereavement and sorrow, and
will you grant it?'
will,' replied Lord Norham.
'lt is to be allowed to follow my religion.'
I grant it,' said he; 'but 1 have never prevented
you. Might I not have expected you would speak
to me on this subject long ago?'
'Did you indeed expect this?' said Julia.
'Then was it this you meant when you invited
me to ask you for something difficult and extraor
dinary? You are silent, and I may therefore con
clude it was so. Six months have passed since
then—six months of double responsibility, to add
to my many years of carelessness and neglect.—
Perhaps had I made the request at the time of
our marriage, I might have obtained all the bene
fits of my holy religion, and might then have in
duced my poor Georgy to perform her duty also.—
But I did not know you, Charles. I did not know
all the kindness and liberality of your character 7-.
I was afraid of displeasing you, and alas! was but
too indifferent to the hopes and fears of another
world.
'Well. Julia,' said Lord Norbam, 'you have at
last told me your whole history, and now I will
tell you mine. You once bad a certain ruler over
your nursery department, in Stanhope street, called
Mrs. Tyler, had you rota'
'lndeed we had,' said Julia, suddenly smiling
through her tears; 'but little did I think nurse Ty
ler was an acquaintance of yours.'
'She left you, I understand, on account of some
controversial agreement between herself and the
governess,' continued Lord Norharn ; 'and, through
what recommendation I forgot, came to take care
of me during a dangerous attack of illness, which
seized me just before the memorable drawing-room
at which the Miss Foresters were presented. Mrs.
Tyler was a Catholic, and tried to convert me
Perhaps, had my illness been es tedious as it was
severe, she would have succeeded. Al it was,,
there were many things remained strongly on my
mind : but her talk was not all theological. She
spoke of a lured an I lovely 'Julia;' promised me'
certain happiness if I could secure her; arid lot
lowed up her recommeudation with so much rea
sonable argument and good sense, that afterwards
when tempted to prefer Georgiana, I found Mrs
Tyler's advice had bound me so fast to my vessel, , 1
that the voice of the syren could not win me into
peril. Little did they suspect who were rallying
me on my precipitation, that I had gained a store
of knowledge on my sickbed. And now, Julia, tot
a few more avowals ; though, perhaps, they may
give you pain. Mrs. Tyler bad, of course, inform
ed me that you were a Catholic ; and I was fully
prepared to concede to you all, and more than nun
al, in these cases. In thefirst place, I had lield,my
self ready to give you the religious comfort of
what a Catholic is bound to consider the sacrament
of marriage, previous to the public ceremony in the
Protestant Church. But you never made the re
quest ; and I frankly tell you I was disaptretted.'
The IreerteSt darts of sorrow and remorse here
pierced Lady Northam's heart.
“I was disappointed, - continued Lord kortham,
"because when a woman is not in earnest about her
religion, she has seldom stability in other respects;
but as I made no pretentious whatever to be a
preacher, I preached not. I had made up my
mind, also, to chapels, chaplains, feasts and fasts;
but allow me to pay you this compliment, Julia--
you have been the least truuldesoine Catholic l ev.
er encountered
'..Ah, Charles, spare this irony !" cried she, weep
tug in shame and anguish
'Well, but, Julia,' said he, I am the last man
who has any right to talk about religion; so now
let us say no more on this topic. Good nurse Ty
ler led me astray as to your piety; but in every o
ther respect, she has my thanks for giving me
the sweetest and prettiest little wife in Adee world."
Julia then made her escape to her gown room,
where she could in solitude give some fielief to the
anguish which oppressed her. Unaccitstomed to
blame Fr' alarmed and bewildered her but there
were other reflections which crowded on her mind.
and surpassed all that could be suggested by ano
ther. Julia knew that to approach the sacrament
of marriage, the pious Catholic previously, in re
treat, in prayer, in examination of conscience, ap.
proaches the tribunal of penance, and from that
purifying sacrament receives that of marriage in
a state of grace. Arid how had she prepared her
self for the legal ceremony which had placed the
coronet 011 her brows? Surrounded to tde last mo
ment by partial and admiring friends, all praising
her goodness, her sweetness, her beauty and her
talent; with no interruption to this balmy incense,
but from jewellers and dress -makers! and with but
a vague teeling of shallew gratitude to the Being
to whom she owed her first affections—thus, alas!
had Julia Forester entered on the responsible du
ties of her new state; and thus had she continued
to live, until that hour of fearful rousing and bitter
self reproach, pp. 49-54.
New. Peal.—The Washington Union publishes
a communication from „A Whig," embracing the
following plan for carrying on the war in Mexico:
Seventy five or one hundred thousand troops can
occupy the whole of Mexico; every State to . be
occupied by a sufficient force, whose commarnft
officer should be instructed to disarm the Mexi
cans in the particular State or district of country
assigned to him ; and by constant expeditions from
his headquarters, to keep up such a surveillance as
will prevent the collection of troops of the enemy
in his district, and enable him to draw the great
est amount of forage, subsistence and pay from
the country. If such an occupation of the enemy's
territory is entire, we must get at their resources ;
if it is partial, we may not.
Such a mode of carrying on the war must be
less expensive than tne present mode. Bloodshed
must soon cease, and success is certain ; for if
Mexico persists in her present reckless course two
disbandments of our troops in her midst must
Americanise her territory, and the Mexican race
must soon be absorbed by the superior one. These
effects will he justly chargeable upon her rulers.
I claim for this plan that it is humane, econum
ical, awl certain to succeed.

T. King„ we copy from the American Parra°Logi.

MEssns. 1 7 0‘ / LER AND WELLS —since under

I have given ch attention to this Science, both

Chilepeake and Ohio Canal.—The damage sus.
tained on the Canal, by the late freshet is less than
was first supposed. It is estimated that the repairs
will not exceed in cost $20,000 and they are alrea
dy in active preparation for commencing them.—
The principal injury is within 15 miles of George.
town. The engineer.is confident that the repairs
will be completed in one month from this time.—.
EeISCOPLL CONVUNTION.—At the session of
Friday last, (the itith inst.,) the joint Committee,
appointed to inquire into the present condition of
the Diocese of New York, reported that they could
not agree in relation to the matters confided to
them. They recommended two new canons to of.
feet future sentences of the House of Bishops ; and
in relation to doicesan disabilities; and left to the
decision of the Bishops the case of Bishop Onder
donk. After some discussion, Cininnati was a.
greed upon as the place of the next meeting of the
Convention.
(0 - - With a view to economy, it is proposed to
pave Broadway, in New York, with blocks of hew.
ed granite. The cost is estimated at $300,000 ;
the interest on which would be $lB,OOO. The
present annual cost of repairs to that thoroughfare
is said to be SI2AO.
(0-Two new regiments of volunteers for the war
have been lately called fur by the government—
one from Atichig,an and the other from Tennessee.
MANSACIICSETTS WHIGGERY.-Mr. Edmund
Quincy ; a leading Massachusetts Whig, son of Jo
siah Quincy, says of his party:
"The leading whigs in and out of the city, care
very little about the Wilmot Proviso ; thg Mexi
can war, the extension of slavery, or anything else,
except high prices, fat dividends, and the chances
of office in the millenial day of a Whig Presidency."
We strongly suspect this is the case with the
"leading Whigs, in and out or' all other cities.—
All they aim at is, the "chance of office,"—and
they scruple at but little, in order to accomplish
this great purpose of their party.
ccHlon. James Cooper, the competitor of Gen
Irvin for the Federal Gubernatorial nomination in
this Slate, is about making a tour to Europe. Gen-
eral James Irvin, his successful rival, is about
making a tour to Salt River. Rope both will have
a good time.—Pennsylvanian.
Hogs in Ohio.—By a census of the Swinish mul
titude, in Ohio, published in the Cincinnati Atlas,
it appears that that species of population is in.
creasing at the west quite fast as that of the
bipeds. The whole number of hogs in Ohio is
now but little short of 2,000,000.

Dock, and 440 N. Fourth street--is our only au
thorised agent in Philadelphia.
We hope one so well read ineralism, will
condescend to enlighten us as to the place where,
and time when the elder Mattis, Robert Morris,
or even Alexander Hamilton, recommended the ap
pointment of Governors at their pleasure,—or
when they proposed to give us a President and Sen
ate during good behavior,—Gazette.
We take pleasure in answering the question pro
pounded by our neighbor; and, at the same time
assure him that we do not feel the act to be one
of condescension. We therefore proceed to "en
lighten" him, in relation tia.the matter, by telling
hitt that."the place where," Mr. Hamilton proposed
to give ns a President and Senate during good be
havior, and to confer on these the power to appoint
the Governors of States, was, the city of Philadel
phia, and "the time when" was in the early part of
the session of that convention which framed our
present constitution. We may not have done Mr.
Adams exact justice in this connexion; but we
will do so now. That gentleman expressed him
self as being decidedly in favor of ti monarchy;
and said that the plan of government submitted by
Mr. Hamilton would not prove an efficient one;
but he came in to its support, in preference to the
plan favored by Franklin, Henry, Governeur Mor
ris, Madison, &c. We believe Mr. Robert Morris
was, throughout, a follower of Hamilton. As the
editor of the Gazette has read the Federalist," in
which the views of Messrs. Jay, Hamilton, and
Madison are given, in relation to our present Con
stitution; and the Debates in the Convention, pre.
vious to the adoption of that instrument, he would
do well to read one other work which gi'ves much
light on the stiliject—being an- account of the se
cret prorreding,s of that Convention, as developed
by the members from Maryland, on their return
to their constituents. He will also find a great
deal, by which he may become still farther en
lightened, by perusing the writings of Thomas Jef
ferson, in four volumes; and the papers of the late
Ex President Madison.
The Sable Harmon'sls
Large and fashionable audiences are now each
inight in attendance at the Eagle Saloon, to hear
these tascinating, vocalists. We have never before
heard, on one occasion, so large a number of fine
singers, as compose this band. The full, rich voice
of Archer is of itself a treat of the best kind.
Indeed we doubt if he has a superior in the coup
! try—perhaps not an equal. Chapman, too, is pos.
eessed of a sweet tenor voice; and the fund of hu•
mor in his composition, makes him the more at
tractive. They way in which he handles a Tarn•
boil rine, is a warning to all sheep skin. The per.
former on the Bones is unsurpassed by any one
whom We have ever seen. He has a very fine
voice, and is an accomplished singer. Where all
are excellent, we dislike to particutatize ; but we
must mention another—he who plays that Banjo.
Lie is a Fist!, (we believe,) and if he can't fish
music out of that instrument, then we don't know;
that's all. We think his solo on this instrument,
one of the best things ste ever heard. There is
scarcely to be found his equal on that instrument.

cert will be repeated tonight, with a change of

Tits FASIIIONS —The styles of gentlemen's
garments are td ., ,beilhis Antec ,, no less decided
than they have been' for \ a'few Years past; and a
Man tu: - be .,. in fashion, must offer an'impressive
front. The editortells-usithat the distinctive fea.
tures of present mode's is a tendency to Oriental
tastes, which we understand to be' a loose flowing
style. That is, garments are not to be fashioned
slavishly to the form, but to hang gracefully
around it; in other words, a nice plastered fit is at
present voted gauche, while a well proportioned
and well balanced garment is just the thing. The
shaping of such a garment, is doubtless the high
est achievement of the scissorial art; common
sense tells us this, and so does. the editor of the
Mirror of Fashion. To use his own language on
this important point :—" The knowledge necessary
to produce a smooth fit, is within reach of any
snob; while the production of a graceful garment,
is the work of genius, and cannot be acquired by
mere study and practice, though the student have
continually before him the most perfect models.'
But to descend from the abstractions of the art,
and to present the dictum of the fashion makers
as we find it in the Mirror, and as it is expected to
show itself in the streets:—
g I;.)t.it.
Side seams are still very much curved, in both
dress and frock coat.l„ Collars are of a moderate
width, with fall-docin an inch wider , than the
standup. Lapels and front ends of collars are not
so wide as they were last season ; the ends of the
dress coat collar being square instead of being
notched as formerly, The sleeves are quite full
above the elbow and taper regularly, by rounding
the outside seam very much, and cutting the inside
one nearly straight. The waist-seam is still very
low, but more curved for dress than for frocks:—
Skirts of all coats are scant in width and short.—
Fancy colbrad cloths are becoming more popular
with the elite. The old circular cloak has given
place to the Catatonian and Registered ; yet a short
three quarter circle cloak of blue cloth, lined with
buff cashmere, bound at the neck instead of a
collar and not extending below the knee, still
maintains with many dressy persons for wear at
the opera. Strapless pantaloons have become undl
versa! for street wear. The roll collar rest of buff!
cashmere is now the acceptable style for the opera
or party dress. High roll collar'd vests, made of
taudry colored cashmere of palm-leaf pattern or
tartan, and bound with galoon, which is felled on
each side (to show the whole of the binding) of'
the edge, is the prevailing style for promenade—
Single breasted vests of Marseilles, or light satin
or silk, with standing collar, are still worn, and if
embroidered, it should be with a small delicate
vine. There is also an under vest of blue or pink
satin worn with the standing collared vest, which
projects to show a halt inch of the edge above the
button. Cras'ats, collars, bosoms, and gloves, as,
last reportrd.
The St. I r ouis Union, in comparing the pri•
ces of real estate in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati with
those of that city, says, in St. Louis, the best
portions cannot be had for $3OO per front foot,
whilst in the centre or the city house lots range
from $ t.) to $lOO per foot. A mile and a half
north, sonic lots are held as high as SSU per foot
and the average price, we suppose, would be as
high as $3ll. .1t that distance south, choice lots
can be had for $2O per foot. Some lots Were sold
this year, near Vide Poche, as high as $9 per front
foot. Indeed there is nothing like a settled price
for real estate here. The prices for lots on the
improved streets are altogether higli,st hen compa
red with those fur other lots."

Relations of the sexes.-1 he Editor of the Nation.
id Era, in reply to a correspondent, says : As to
our own creed, we think it highly orthodox. We
believe that woman'. was taken at first from the
side of niun, but that ever since man has been born
of woman ; that theyare both very idespensable
to each other, and that if man, the hermit, sighed
till woman smiled,' she would have done the same
thing, had not her full gaze, on first awaking to
Life, rested upon him ; that if, in a certain sense

[Washington Union, Oct. IG.
Births and Deaihs.—Dr. Caspar has arrived at
the following conclusions: The greatest number
of births occur between nine o'clock in the even
ing and six in the nr -- nin;! whilst the smallest
number between six o'clock in the mornin. , and
nine in the evening. Individually regarded, ' the
ratio of deaths from inflammations, phthisis, and
pulmonary hemorrhage, is greateoin the afternoon;
from exanthemata, just before midnight; from
cerebral apoplexy, during the day; and from dis.
eases of the nervous system in , general, in the
hours which immediately follow midnight.

Mr. Ilise at li t ashington.—The Union of The
14th inst announces that Henry A. Wise, Esq.,
late minister to Brazil, arrived on Wednesday in
that city. We are happy to state, says the Union,
" that he is in tine health and spirits. He waited
upon the President to-day, with whom he had a
long and most agreeable interview. Subsequently,
he had au interview of nearly two hours with the
Secretary of State. Mr. Wise's family has gone
ou to the city of Philadelphia."
The Potato Rot.—The toss occasioned by the
mysterious disease in potatoes, threatens to be even
more severe this season than last. A friend in
Blaine, who sent his whole crop; valued at a thou
' sand dollars, to this city, will have it all returned
upon his hands; as the infection has developed it
self in every barrel. Cannot our men of science
assign some cause and remedy for this wide-spread
calamity.—Boston 'Transcript, 14th inst.
4 Rare Case.—Rev. Jonathan French,.. of Nor
thampton, N. H., has been' the officiating pastor
of the Congregational Church in that town for 46

In the application of Joseph Watt, for a man
damus to the Commissioners of Allegheny county,
to appoint him Colkctor.—Tudge Cotlx.TEn.---The
return of the respondents, is, to be taken as true, un
less-the opposite party tender an issue to try the
facts. The act of appointing a Collector of taxes,
by the Commissioners of a county, partakes ° so
much of a judicial character, that having exercis
ed their authority by an appointment, the Court
will not issue , a mandamus to compel another se
lection. They will not decide how they should
have determined.'
Sendde,That omission by the assessor to return that
the assessors proposed for the office of collector,
were " respectable citizens of the ward," and his
not signing the return, were fatal to its efficacy.
even as a guide to the Commissioners.
Where an office is not vaant, the right of the
incumbent can only be ine n Oioned by a writ (A
Quo Warranto, and not y a mandamus to,the ap-
pointing power.
If there is a custom, for an assessor to return
himself as•collector, it is a bad one, and should be
abolished.
Estate of Elizabeth Perkenpile.—Judge Bunu-
SI DEL—Under the act of Congress, granting a
pension to the widow of Col. fitible, the admin
istiator received it as trustee for the heirs, and it
was not assets within theqadministration bond, nor
subject to the claims of cieditors.
Thompson vs. .11f.Farla1d.—Ren CORIAM.—The
lines of a draft serve to indicate their place, where
the footsteps of the surveyor cannot be traced.—
Where they can, they locate the tract, without re
gard to courses and distances on paper, whose office
is, to serve for 'a guide, when no other s left.
[The above is not abstracted for its novelty, but
the beauty and force of the illustration. If the
rationale of the law were alwayuhus lucidly dis
played, we should not have cause to complain of
its complexity.]
Rhoads vs. Sparks, for use of Cummins —Chief
Justice Gil/SO:V.—Where R. had'been imposed up
on by S. in the assignment to him of a fictitious
claim—(which R. failed to establish in s suit bro't
by him upon it, although, under the Rule in Steel
Phamix. Insurance Company, non• exploder
said S. was called as a witness in its support.).
It was competent for R., in the present suit, brough
against him by the equitable assignee of S., for the
recovery of the unpaid portion of the price o
ouch fictitious claim, to prove that the claim as
signed to him was fictitious; there being no evi
dence that when pursuing it, he was aware of its
fraudulent character
The following indignant reprobation of dishon
esty, is so characteristic of the high moral sent
ment and eloquent conscience of its elevate
author, that we cannot forbear its quotation:
Nothing exceeds the turpitude of a claim, fah
ricated in secret, and sold to an unsuspecting man
with a view to sustain it by the vendor's oath. It
is a sale ~nf his own perjury; and no contrac
founded on a consideration so foul can be enforc,d
ISLE ,AND Sots are on their way to this city .
They are spoken of as being extraordinary peo
ple. We glean a little of their history from the
Pennsyl i vanian :—They have just returned frort
Europe, where they performed before the crowned
heads of England, France, Russia, Prussia, Hol
! land, Belgium and Germany. In the year 18.13,
they had a most miraculous escape from death in
the Island of Guadeloupe, during the great earth
quake. • The particulars of their strange preserva
tion were published in the papers at the time.
They left America for Europe in 1844, and have
been absent until the present time.' Before taking
to the public arena, Prof. R, was for many years
a hunter and fur trader among the Indians of the
Far West, and lived for year's with the Potawatta
inies and other tribes. In this wild, wandering
mode of life, he acquired a strength and agility pe
culiar to the athletic exercises of the red men, and
became expert and dexterous in all their amuse
merits. He is even now, one of the best riflemen
in the world. It will thus be perceived that he is
truly American, not only in being born in New
Jersey, but in life, character, &c.
