After tossing about iq (bis miserable! condition a considerable.time, which seemed) to me an age, I looked at my. watch' .to see, how longdve had .bjeen oul* and was amazed tefind.tliai not two hours had elapsed sfaoei we had'started....( .should hardly have bean| more surptised had the sun.risen on, the other. side of the channel and ushered in the mart).; ing. My'troubles seemed to have endured; longer than the whole past day, and yet there! were eight or nine hours to pass before an other would dawn upon us. 1 began to fear that we should not survive the night; we were probably several miles from the nearest.land,! but in. what direction it lay I bad no idea,— All tbaij knew was, that ifo were drifting, Sf. 1 A, 8* down the channel, and that down we must, continue to drift till the tide turned, which 1 judged would not be for several, hours. 1 bawled at my companion as loud as I could liolloo—bantered him, consoled him encour aged him, reasoned with him t —all, however, ta no purpose, not a response could I elicit.! There was, therefore, nothing for it but to sit still and wait the issue. 1 was wet through to the skin—as thoroughly soaked ns if I bad been fished up from the bottom of the sea, and every now and then a terrible presentment, haunted me that to the bottom we were doom ed to go before morning. How long I sat in this slate, alternately bailing With the rusty saucepan, paddling with the rudder, and gazing moodily at the grim' figure of the boatman, now half shrouded in the darkness,! have no distinct recollection, but it must have been a very considerable lime. My reflections were none of the pleas antest. The vision of the Captain’s comfort able cabin, and his well-spread table furnish ed with the game we had shot together the day previous, rose up to my imogioolion, in tantalizing force; and there was 1, transformed from a delighted and favored guest to a mis erable castaway, at the mercy of a motionless image, who for all I knew, might wake up into a raging madman, or die and stilfen in the position in which he sal, leaving me in the unpleasant predicament of having to ac count for his fate should I survive him long. Morbid thoughts began to rise in my mind and to mingle with unworthy terrors, both of which I bad a difficulty to shako off. At length I began to revolve the matter deter minately, with a view to action of some sort 1 could bear the perplexity of my position no longer, and determined to do something, if possible, to bring nto an end. But what I that was the question. 1 stood up and look ed around. 1 fancied I could seen glimmer -mS-of-Ught Cut jivuji lo ihe left, and iboonbl if 1 could get possession of the oars 1 might succeed in making the land in that direction, particularly as the wind had now abated and the storm had ceased. I cautiously laid my hand upon the man’s shoulder, and fell for his lingers; they were hot as those of a person in high fever. 1 endeavored lo loosen the oars from his grasp, but i might as well tried to snap them in pieces with my fingers ; they were firm as though gripped in an iron vice. 1 felt his face and hair; both were hot and bathed in clammy moisture. In spile of the poor fel low’n affliction, I grew exasperated with him for venturing out to sea, with the knowledge which he must have had that he was liable lo such fearful visitations. Half in anger and half inspired with a sudden idea, I grasp ed in the bottom of the boat for the old sauce pan, found i', filled it With the brine and dashed it suddenly in the fellow’s face. The shock was instantly followed by a deep sigh and a rather violent gasping. Distressing as these sounds usually are, they were now grate ful music to my ears, and without wailing more t him a minute, I repeated the experiment. Directly afterwards 1 heard the oars rattle in lhe rowlocks, and saw plainly as the gloom would permit, that the man was addressing himself again to his work, though in all like lihood be had hardly yet recovered his lull consciousness. I spoke lo him, but received no answer. I again filled' the rusty saucepan and sprinkled water over his face with my fingers. At length he threw off his hat with one hand, shook himself, and with much dif ficulty sinimnercd forth “It’s all right now.” “All right, do you call it? Whereabouts are we? and what o’clock do you suppose it is? and where away lies the Bhurlpoor?” -■ “Very sorry, your honor—how long is it we’ve been oui ?” “Four or five hours—pefhapssix j n pretty scrape you have led me into!” “Very sorry your honor; but WHget picked up before long.

The Charlotte had got Her stores on board, her casks, shocks, spars and her whaling gear.— So, One pleasant afternoon, Captain Slarbuck was seen to get’into a whale-boat, and doub le Brand Point, on his way to the Bar. This was ominous ; ho dohfat .the Sihty would soon sail. Those who bad 1 relatives on board the Charlotte-, prepared to “draw the lotig, long sigh, and breath their last adieu.” ScveVtll of the finest tads on the island, had' goite on board the '(iharlbtie, and even the owner of Ihe ship had ehtrdste'd one of his sons to the care of'Captain Starhuck. It wap a bright morning in June, when the anchor of the Ch.ariotiq was hove up, and a third of the people of the .town were crowd ed on the clifls, Brand Point and the wharves, to sec the departure for a long Cape Horn voyage, of one of the finest ships in the whaling fleet. Some ol the inhabitants, who had walks on their houses, were out with their spy-glasses, and even “the lower” could le seen peopled with black beads, like an ant-hill. The tars and green hands on board the Charlotte, seemed to feel that they were the objects of attention lo many bundredsof spec tators, and they worked briskly in conse quence. The anchor went up quick, and a shoal of men and boys Were on the fattlings when the word was-given to ’lay aloft and reef the topsails before they wore set. Then, «ith a spanking breeze, the head of the Char lotte payed off, and foaming through Ihb water, she to the View.— Ohl long and dreary wab the farewell to many Vmate'rnnl heart; and'tltfere wbre tear ful maidens, to whom the departure of that sliip was like a death-knell.

'The Charlotte Was soon lost in the distance, and the town wepli Months passed away. Occasionally the ship was hpard-of.- As usual, Captain Star buck had been successful; bis ship .was rap idly filling with pure spermaeeli oil. Letters were received. Still a fejv months longer, and the Charlene's letters continued to come, Sisters and mothers, b rot hors, sweethearts and wives,.began to look, forward with pleas ure lo the time of..her return home..

Ship after ship came home, but.none pf them had seen or heard; of the missing vessel in some months, though.when a new ship., called, the Samuel, arrived, her crew reported -that some twelve or fifteen months previous, while on the off-shore ground, and duringlhomid-watch; a'Marlha’s Vineyard Indian, celebrated for the power of his vision, had declared (bat he saw a light on the edge of the horizon, which could have proceedwj from nothing but a burning ship. The Indian was overhauled by the owner of the Charlotte and many more; but he was obstinate, and refused to sppak till he had re ceived a quart of rum for his guerdon. Hav ing received the liquor and swallowed the best part of it, he was 100 drunk to give any information; and finally, little was ever got out of tha mao. His report was generally disbelieved. Some two or three years after the arrival of the Samuel, and long after the Charlotte had been given up, a young man appeared on he Island who attracted considerable alien lion from the inhabitants. He was a cooper by trade, and soon got employment with a Mr. Cartwright, near. Long Wharf. lie was silent and observing, and, unlike other young men, lop If YCiy ifuiu uunco ui nic'gure unrra boardinghouse. But what chiefly drew upon him the observation of others, was the fact that he bore a very close resemblance to a young man belonging at Egypt, a small town on. the Island, who had gone out in the Char lotte. liis close resemblance to Ileuben Joy, a lad who sailed in the lost ship, was the theme of universal remark, and he was sev eral times requested to call upon the parents of ygung Joy in Egypt, that they might mark the qlose resemblance which he bore to their sqn. But lie looked so stupid when this ad vice was given him, and laughed so contempt uously when it was urged upon him, the peo ple soon got tired of talking on subjects to the young cooper. Although some six years hud elapsed since the sailing of Joy in the Charlotte, yela girl from Newton, known to bq .attached to the boy, having met our young cooper in the street, turned pale and came near fainting away, for to her he seemed to beJhd lost lover whom she had so long mourned. The name of this youth was Campbell, or so he called himself. Years passed on and Campbell had ceased to be'an object of curi osity lo the inhabitants. He was now arrived at middle age, but he had never taken a wife. Among all thal splendid array of brisk maid ens and young widows ho had lived over twenty years, blit he had never taken a wife, lie joined the Universalis! Church, and as he wrought very steadily at his profession, he laid up sorqe properly, all of which ho willed to'the girl of Newtown, who had remained single'up to the time' of Campbell’s death, Dover ceasing to, lament young Joy, Campbell was about sixty years of jjgo when he died. The following singular item, was fquqd among.his,papers: “My name is Jov. My parents who havq been loug dead, lived in Egypt. 1 sailed in. the ship Charlotte,.

'i he punning devising office-seekers of the 1 cduhtry, have heretofore introduced collateral issues and succeeded in part in making pen believe that there was no fear of extending that southern institution; but the investiga tions which have been made together with the repent demonstrations in Kansas, show to most minds beyond a doubt that slavery extension is the question— magnum bellum quo pugndmvs. Truth is the sword to be used in this great battle, and every honest man should volunteer on the side of freedom. Yes, let every man show to the world his opposiiion to despotism aud his love of liber ty—not by obeying sets of men, but by act-' ing in accordance whh the principles of jus tice and humanity. There'is no other rule, there can be no other standard. But let me resume my thread of hislory. At the first Congress petitions on the sub ject of slavery wore offered from different states. “The Pennsylvania Society for pro moting the abolition of slavery,.took the lead and laid before Congress a memorial, praying Congress to promote the abolition by such powers as it possessed Of course those veteran fathers, (had they lived at this day) would have been in favor of prohibiting it in the District of Columbia, and the territories of the United Stales. Bui alas ! how the blind, worm-eaten, metamorphosed Democra cy and the double-dealing Whigs of the pre sent have deteriorated. Few men from among the old parties of the present day could be found praying Congress to abolish s'avery wherever it had the power. But why litis change? petitions op posed to reason? Is yl faci that.slavery bad apt ought to be restricted, to its narrow, esi limits? Were those fathers acting un wisely, when they offered their petitions for iho abolition of slavery ? The answer is. upon every tongue. Office-seekers, soulless office-seekers, “with a watchfulness that never sleeps and an activity that never tires—with as many eyes as Argus and as many arms as Briareus,” arc continually exerting them •-lyo.v /'Orruxif onrl Inorl ftolroy, ihft hflDCftf voters of the country. Think men, think fbr yourselves. Do you believe the Harrisburg Convonlipn of last July that pledged the Democracy of the state to Pierce, Douglas and their Nebraska Bill, knew any belter how the members of that Democracy wanted to 1 vote on these questions than the members do [ themselves? And does any one feel bound to vole for and sustain those principles sim ply because those men said they would ? But I will not impose upon the intelligence of men by asking such questions. There is' no individual, who is opposed to the extension of slavery, and opposed to Congress breaking up old compacts that prohibited slavery, that will support any convention, or any candi date that is in favor of extending slavery, and in favor of breaking up laws that prohibi ted slavery, unless they are basely dishonest. Permit me to show a few of the incongru ous features of that beautiful convention. From the Resolutions passed upon that occa sion I quote the following. 3BT “ Resolved , That the Democratic Parly re. iterate and reassert their confidence in, and adherence too the political creed promulgated by Thomas Jefferson, in his first Inaugural Address, and practiced by Madison, Monroe: &c.” Immediately following this expression of, patriotism and fatherly love, 1 find a valuable specimen right from the fossil remains of dead politicians. ‘ Read it; “ Resolved , that we have undiminished confidence in the ability and integrity of Franklin Pierce, and hisod mihistration of the government of our coun try.” This is religious; is it not? Pardon me. There is about as much consistency in these Resolutions, as there would have been for Julius Ceaser while engaged in his slallgfa ters on the banks of the Rhine and the blood of his met) , running in (rom the battle-field, lb have fallen dpbh til’s knees and declared io Almighty' God (hit he was ahd always'had been opposed to War and blood shed; or for ’ Ludius Catalina while urging his'folloWers on to conspiracy, to have risen and made a speech in favor of Raman pa triot ism.' Buf let me notice these incongruities more pointedly." ‘ First T nsk what part of Jeffer son’s I'n'auoural’ Address agrees with the course jbat Pierce and his Administration'' have laker Ton the subject of slavery'. ’‘Cer tainly not' that which says “freedom oflhe press; freedom of person under the protec tion of the Habeas corpus ; and "trial 1 by juries impartially selected,” should : beartuJrrg the principles ori which ihjs government ought lobe conducted.
