, TOBLE - SENTIMENT:
In looking over the letterS and correspon
dence of Gen. Washington,.; we experien
ed renewed pleasure in the perusal of the
following noble and highly characteristic
reply of the illustrious American, to Gen.
Gates, who, upon the representation made
to him by Washington, relative to the. treat
ment of the American prisoners at Boston,
then occupied by the British, where no re
gard Was shewn either to rank or state of
the prisoners, said in answer to Washington,
"that they (the prisoners) had been treated
with indiscriminate kindness, ti.s. he knew of
no rank that was not derived from the king."
"You allixt to despise, sir,".said Washing
ton in reply, 4 ‘all rank not derived from the
same source as your own. I cannot con
ceive one inure honorable, than that which
flows from the uncorrupted choice of a brave
and free people, the purest source and origin
al fountain of power. May that God to
wain you appeal, judge between America
and you. tiiider his.,proviAlce those who
mined at the luriard of their lives, to hand
• ()Ha to posterily_taese_just maLlay_aluable
privileges which they received front their
ancestors." Sentiments like these are surely
worthy of all emulation; and cannot sink too
deeply into the minds orthe freemen of this
country. If in ihe annals of greatnessi there

other, lending its mingled light of genius,
valor, and a lofty patriotism to our national
history; and throwing into the shade, from
its excessive bright, the lesser luminaries,
who from time to time, have set their watch
in the political firmament of our country- , -it
is the character of NVashington!—But what
pen can hope to do justice to that character?
Yiew it under what aspect we ,inay, its sur
pass* moral grandeur overpowers the
mind ! Envy growl' pale as it contemplates
the character of Washington; and virtue
feels that it Were superfluous to oiler the in
cense ()fits praise.
."A soul supreme in each hard instance tried,
Above all pain, all passion, and all pride,
The rage of power, the blast ofpublic breath,
The lost of lucre, and the dread of death .1
When we contemplate the years which
fall from the hand of Time, like withered
branches from the decayed oaks of other
centuries, how forcibly is the leSson of earth
ly insufficiency borne upon the heart of the
pilgrims to the shrine of earthly happiness?
When we passed the threshold of the year
which is now e ring upon the records of
the past, how brig was the flattered fancy
with the liveliest touches of the pencil of
Hope! Have the hues of the picture been
realized? Does not the recollection of the
thwarted purposes, and the disappointed ea
gerness of unwearied pursuits, force us to
look longingly back, and to lament that we
can never call again its suspicious opportu
nities? Yet we shall hope again, however
baffled; and to-morrow when we step our
feet within the buttals of another year we
shall still look forward ; eager to grasp all
that hope has promised heretofore, and all
that time has vdenied. , - . Disappointment is
alwarf the conquerer, evet vanquished, blit
never can subdue.
\ Some j;'enraifore the French Tevolutton,
a colositor of a prmting houie 101., his
work, shop• ,Ho "w as - seized by tour men
who promised that they would not do him
any injury if he made no resistance; they
tied a bandage over his eyes, and
,pusheil
him into a coach. The poor man did not
dare to utter a word during the whole time
he was on the road. When they untied the
bandage he tbund himself in a large room,
in which were cases'fified with characters,
and presses. They ordered him to print
sonic pamphlets, and many of those obscene
?books, which have multiplied so greatly
within these few years, with such frightful
audacity. He was obliged to obey, and was
kept fifteen days at work, for which they li
berally paid him; and then, having agaiN
tied a bandage over his eyes, they placed
him in a couch and carried him back to the
spot from whence they first took him. He
never disclosed his adventure to any one,
having been bound to secresy, which he
promised to perform. Mien the Bastile
was taken, he was among the number of the
assailants, and he there recognised the se;
cret printing press, to which he had been
conducted with so much mystery. What
a subject for reflection!
A Bite.—Alfonso Lombardi, a great cox
comb, got punished one day by a young la
dy, to whom ,he attempted to make love in a
foppish'manner: She was his partner _at .a
ball,-in-the midst of which he turned to her,
and heaving a profound sigh, said, as he
looked in her face, with what he thought
inetii►ble softness in his eyes, and / we may
suppose some Ihntastic and writhing gestures
—"lf it is not love I feel, pray then what is
_ it?" "Perhaps," said the young lady, "some
thing bites you."
A Washington letter-writer, giving a
sketch of Mr. Clay's speech on the tariff,
adds in a note r --" Mrs. Royal was in the gal
lery, pen and paper in hand, looking like an
owl." What a monster—Mrs. Royall an
owl !—Alack for the days of chivalry !
---The-Stroudshurg—Jetlersonian-states that:
a singular fidelity seems to prevail among
the children along the line of the Blue Moun
tains in that neighborhood:—"A child of
Mr. John S. Heller, tavern-keeper, at the
Wind Gap, was taken to bed on Saturday
evenining last, and the next morning found
dead. Two other instances of the same
kind, in the same neighborhood, and another
of a child being found dead in the cradle,
occurred within one week."
Fourteen persons of the Society of Sha

friends of Messrs. Wirt and Ellrnaker in
Ohio may rest assuredAt Wit State Coven;
tion will be seasonably called. for the pur
pose of nominating an Electoral ticket, and
that in all probabilty avandidate for Gover

The cause of equal rights progresses stea

others; and the time is ihiltittf..*enee when
neither the Grand Master of Teimessee, nor
the Royal Arch chieftain of Kentucky, will
deemit incompatible with 'PERSONAL IND&

tendency of masonic obligations. The pop
ularity of the great, the good, and the tal
ented WILLIAN. WIRT is daily gaining
ground; and let none of his friends, or the
friends of the cause which boasts his name
for a rallying point, hesitate one moment in
pressing his claims for the Presidency..
We repeat mith assurance, that .a State
Convention will be called in dueseason, and
that Ohio will do her dUty."

Some disturbances had taken place - in the
