*slier circumstances, by winch he convey ed all his property in such manner as was designed to deprive his wife of all interest in his estate, in the event of his death, and to flisifiberit any children he might have by this Marriage. His estate, as the times then were, was probably worth $160,000. 1 was also informed, that he had entered in to a contract for the purchase of an estate of the late Jno Colgin, for $20,000, which both hiriaself and Hall were exceedingly antionsito be relieved from, upon the ground that it was an exorbitant price. Upon in - quising into all the facts and circumstances attendant upon the execution of these va rioue deeds, and which . are given somewhat - in detail in my answer in the case of Blake ly vs. Tyler, I came to the conclusion that 1 they might be set aside; or, that by a pro per course of proceeding. Lightfoot might b e repossessed of his estate, but, that to do 54104 , 61 rd require a long course of contro versy in the cowls, and the taking of great -numbers of depositions. I was then offer• ed by Lightfoot and Hall their joint bond for $5,000; if I would undertake the task ad 3 act in court anti out of court as the Attorney and agent of Lightfoot. I pro posed to do so for the reasons set forth in , my answer fur a less sum. I was the Ex ecutor of my father, who had been the Ex ecutor of Lightfoot's father, and who was indebted to Lightfoot in a balance which was believed to amount to about $3,500. artreed to undertake the task which they ha - slved upon me for that sum, to wt h ich theilissented, and . for which :hey executed their bond. I took measures at once to place Lightfoot in posses,ion of his property, which were en irely successful. But those inea,sures were immediately lowed by the -institution of separate s oils, as I anticipated: is', to.recover the $60,- 000 as stipulated damages-2d, art action of detiou.e for the whole personality—and 3d, actions of ejectment to recover the real estates, which were many. Mr Co'gin al so, I think about the same tine brouutit his suit in Chancery to enforce his con tract. Here, then, was b fire me occu pation for an ordinary`life time, and te - ith mg saved me from the labor of years, but the death of Lightfute, which occurred tAe-ftw months alter. In Cie interim he was almost daily at my house, a king and receiving counsel and advice. I was call ed upon to write his last will, into which, at my suggestion, he introduced a clause by which an end was put to the suits re ferred to, with the exception o! Colgin's suit, which I believe, was some years af terwards compromised. The fact is, that the whole arrangement enured to the ben efit of my father's estate, to whose credi tors 1 had paid no inconsiderable sums out of my own very limited resources. I was perfectly ready, upon the death of Light.. toot, to have adjusted the whole matter with Mr Christian, the Executor of Light f rot, upon liberal terms, as may fairly be inferred from the answer of the executor; but in consequence of objections made to qie bond, by those interested in the estate upon what I believed to be untenable grounds, I brought suit, with the view to challenge inquiry in the Supetior Court of. Charles City, and recovered a verdict and judgment, upon wkich no execution was issued for a year and a day, and which no execution was ever intended to be isued.— An original Chancery suit, in the nature of a bill of discovery was Liought, to set aside the judgment and for other purpo res, which has been pending ever since, until those, interested under Mr Blakely, and some others, agreed upon a fair corn promise, the obligations of which 1 have discharged, while with others, who stood to a fiduciary character, I have settled in full, with a view to put an end to a contro• versy, which seemed to be almost intermi nable, The probable duration of Light foot's suits, had he lived, may t e conjectu red from the length of this single suit, and any man may decide whether my propo sed comFtensption was unreasonable. But, be that as it may, it was in the place of a voluntary offer made to me of a larger sum a: my own office, and in the course of my practice, without any single word or sug gestion from myself, other than I have sta ted, the voluntary tender of a fee, not in the form of money, but in that of a bond made by a person who c!esired to be my client—a person whose capacity to enter into such a bond was endorsed by his late guardian and brother-in-law Mr Blakely, who deemed his “idiot ward"—(l. use Mr Botts's language without meaning t,) adopt it)—capable of making a rood conveyance for his whole estate. I have never been able to conceive the ground on which Chancellor Taylor declared the bond void. That decree was pronounced by that Judge, many years ago, when he was in the decline of life, and Mier he had be,.n visited by several paralysis, and his d..eis ion was . - reTer enforced, As to Mr Lei, 2 ,h's note of argument, which Mr Buttssate as part of the Record, it states the bond be fraudulentas any transaction is in law,! against law, although not a panic e of • moral taint may be connected with it. Al bond at a horse race or card table, would probably fall under this rule, and although fairly won and fairly executed, would be avoided in a Court of Chancery as fraudu lent. Hsaven, however, forbid that any man should be assailed for moral obliqui ty, because of the arguments of counsel. The difficulty which it seemed to me 1 had to encounter in the case, was the statute of Virginia, as it then was, liMiting an,41 7 torney's fee to 15 shillings, and whictile• dared all bonds taken by an Attorney for certain suits in Court to be void, if taken for a larger amount, and yet, no Attorney of any grade would have assumed the iesa possibilities of such an undertaking as that • with Lightfoot, for a sum falling much short, if at ill, of that for which I undertook. !knee this case has bet n in the courts, it been tried by a jury in the county of Charles City,who gave me a verdict—calls ad fir about twenty. two years in the Chan- Court: bath in Williamsburg and Rich , nalltate-been extensively known in all 'its facts,aed 'Might have betsaltilatan to Mr Botts for tbat time it it hitikindt. ed his purposes to have gone before last fall to the chancery office to make inquiry. In the mean time I have. been elected, by an almost unanimous vote, by the people of the very county where the case was tried, and the facts made kno NO to the Legislature for several successive years; afterwards Gov, rnor of Virginia more than once, twice Senator in Congress; then to the Vi ginia Convention; then with unan imity to the Legislature by the people of James City, York end Williamsburg; and finally Vice President of the United States; and I s'iould most probably have escaped Mr Batts' animadversions, and I those of his asEoeiates and allies, if, in vio I ation of my oa•h to support the Constitu.' lion, I had given my approval to a Bank of the United States. I leave this matter now for him and them to make the most of it that they can. All I have t say to Mr Botts, in cunclusien, is, that should he think proper to advert to the subject again, his better way will be to give the public the entire record, particularly my own an swer, the answer of Lightfoot's executor, and the Commissioner Baker's special statement. made at my recotest. He nad better exttiiiii the record than swear to what it contains, after the II ant mi sLatenr tits —all uninlentimai., doubtless— to whirli lie hay sworn. I shall certainly be drawn into no controversy with him,nor will I be with those with when, O n friend.• ly terms, I have adjusted this whole sub ject. As to other statements made by Mr Botts in the publieatinu in the Whig, and which arraign the correctness of my polit ical course, I shall hand over, most proha bly,to the editor of the Madismi in for pub lic,ition, certain papers which may be cal culated to throw some light upon the extra ordinary statements founded upon the still more extraordinary titern , 4rY of M r Joltu Minor B.ms, and should I (1•) so, I bye, Ntessrs Editors,you will give them a place in S our columns.

DAILY MORNING POST. T7t. I'llll.lll'S %VIII. It. S MITU, LUITOR ,, aN PROPP.IIC7oRP SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1643 See First Page Canal Cummissione►s. Among other matters In hich the County Convention that meets on the 30th of Au- gust will have to attend to, will he the appointment of delegates to attend at a; state Convention on the 51h of Septem ber, for the purpose of nominating candr-I dates for Canal Commissioners. We'hope our democratic friends in the city and country will bear this matter in mind, and come to the Convention, prepared to act in such a manner on the question' as will be most advantageous to the state. If per 8 )r).3 prejudices or the bad feelings of cliques or factions are permitted to control their conduct in the matter, there is great reason to fear that it nay resttlt not onl y in many evils to the democratic party, but be of incalculable injury to the public works. Sirce the democrats redeemed the state from the misrule of federalism in 1838, a system of gradual reform has been intro duced on the public impr )vements, which annually effected a reduction in expendi tures, and by prudence and good manage• meat it is at length clearly shown that the main line is not only capab:e to defray its expenses, but trill, if the system under which it has been managed for some years past, be followed up, render a handsome revenue to the state. In selecting candidates for Commission - I ers, it is necessary that we should :under stand this fact and nominate men who are not onto capahla and honest, but such as I I are also known to be firm ft lends of the system of reform that has thrown the pub lie works open to competition, and that has oken up the monopolies that have here [dote grasped all the benefits arising from our last improvements. Every one reme..nhets how the State Treaiory w.ts Flunl'red dorinz R.tner's rmistr Ition, by the "G-try=burgh Tape WoNni,."•l - Ininting hit Breaches," and (hit the inliey of the people was htv in the To t shameful manner for the purpose of rewarding the partizans and Ow to ds ted •ral Commissioners. remembran?e of this should admonish us that it is of the utmost importance to the in terests of the state, that the public works kept free from the corruptions and extravagance that would follow the e lection of federal C immi , sioners, and to prevent such an evil, it is necessary that in making the democratic nominations every thing should be forgotten but the compe tency of the candidates and their disposi tion to foster and advance the interests of the improvements. If the party should he divided on this question, the public works will pass into the hands of federalists,—we may expect to see the same shameless sys tem of extravagance and. corruption [wee ced, that we witnessed during the , brier period they beld.power previous to their expulsimily.the people in 1838. frrlt . may be proper to Wham the public that the Gazette and its ogrresptradenti - as aka. king very considerable headway in demolishing Pope Gregory, Biakap Hughes and tits Morning Post—they wit come to the Chinese in good time. Judging from the ill humor they manifested yes terday, in their various articles, we should think t hey are not well - pleased with their own perform.. Emcee. The true cause of their virulence is that they cannot get the public enlisted to their p tty schemes of persecution. GJ on, gentlemen, we would say—ifyou will auffdr us to advise you— persevere in your praiseworthy efforts—you will have a firAt rate tempest in a tea.pot after a while.

Post gives an account of an old man who lives on Staten Island, who has for many years past devoted himselfto the rigid and solitary l:fe of a hermit. He has constructed a rude hut in the middle of a forest belonging to Ald. Cebra, where he passes both day and night, refusing to hold communication with his fellow-men, and I;ving wholly upon cold water. Ha was formerly a sailor, and the only reason he can give for his curious delusion is, that he was very wild and wicked in his youth, and that God, in order to punish him, has now commanded him to live upon water f , r the space of forty days. Fourteen of these days of penance have alreaey passed, yet he persists in adhet ing to his simple diet. lle is somewhat pale and emaciated we are told, hut quite vigorous and active. During the last summer, he took the same notion into his head, but after eleven days fasting, found out that his punishmerit was remitted for a time. It is again laid up nu htm, and he thinks he will bo able to en dure it to the amid! Ornlecticut Stale Pridon.—Th e num ber of convicts in this prison, on the 31st of j.llarch last, was 203; being a decrease of S during Ow year. Of the whole num ber, 19 are females. About one quarter are persons of color, without education, while colored population of the State is to the white as Ito 36. In how snicking a manner, says the Report, does this fact prove the connection between knowledge and virtue ignorance and crime. The pro fits of the Prison last year were $6.069 2:5. Under the management of Mr Pillisbury the present able and energetic Warden, (re marks the New Haven Register.) the af fairs of the Institution have been guided to a result obtaine I by no other working pri son in the country.

Great Disaster at Sea!—The Boston Times says:—Capt Blanchard, of brig Tur ner of Portland, before reported lost, on her passage to Madeira, arrived in this ci ty yesterday, in brig Caroline, from Gib., ratter. On the 16th of February, in lat 34 45, lon 30, during a heavy gale, a Pea broke over the stern and washed overboard the man at the wheel, which caused the vessel to broach to, and throw her on her beam ends. The toremast and bowsprit went by the board, and the mainrnist was cut away, which she righted, full of wa ter. The crew could not get out but one barrel of bread, which was all wet, aid a few pieces of pork, which, with the fish they caught, enabled them to sustain life on the wreck forty-fire days, when they were taken off bv the French brig La Fu ret, from Senegal, and landed at Gibral.- During the last eight days that they were on the wreck they had not a drop of water. They had saved none, but they had caught from the rain enough to last them about three weeks, allowing each man a pint a day. The crew were all vett, hut suffered severely fr)rn the expo• sure and pi icalions to which they were subjected.
