-"With sweetest flowers enrich'd,
From various gardens cull'd with care."
What man is poor? not he whose brow
Is bathed in Heaven's own light,
Whose knee to God alone must bow,
At morning and at night—
Whose arm is nerved by healthful toil,
Who sits beneath the tree,
Or treads upon the fruitful soil,
With spirit calm and free.
Go—let the proud his ~ v ems behold,
And view their sparkling ray— •
No silver vase or yellow gold
Can banish care away—
He cannot know that thrilling dream
Which smiles within the cot,
Where sunny looks and faces gleam,
To cheer the poor man's lot.
What man is poor? not he whose brow
Is wet with Heaven's own dew,
Who breathes to God the heartfelt vow,
Whose pledge is deep and true.
The morning calls his active feet
To no enchanting dome,
But evening and the twilight sweet
Shall fight his pathway home.
And there is music in his car
In the glad voice of his child,
His wile with hurried step draws near,
And spirit Undefiled—
Then turn not from the humble heart.
Nor scorn its cheerful tone,
For deeper feelings there may start,
Than the proud have ever ktiiiwn.

GETTYSBURG, April 10. 1835.
GE.VTLEMEN—In complier - ice with the request
contained in your note ofthis morning. I herewith
sand you a copy of the letter received by me on
the evening of the 2d of March last, together (sub.
stantially) with the answer returned. I was, as
you both know, in Harrisburg on the 4th, sth and
7th of March, during the sittings of the Conven.
lion; had I been there on the 6th, I should huvo
made an effort to have brought about a different
result; and I was only inducad to refrain from ma.
king the attempt on the morning of the 7th, by
the remarks of some of Gov. WoLr's friends, that
he would decline the nomination of that day, if
made. I left Harrisburg before the nomination
was made, and so confident was I that he would
decline, believing there could be but ono opinion
as to the propriety of that nomination, that on my
return home I stated it as a matter beyond doubt;
had I been correct in this, I believe my duty to
my party and my country, as well as individuals
(to excuse and overlook their errors) would have
justified me, corrupt as the design was, to have
kept the letter sent here, from the public eye, as
in that case it might have produced evil, and could
not be attended with beneficial results, as the pee.
plo are to have an opportunity of fixing upon an
other candidate; being disappointed in all my ex.
pectations as to the course of Goy. Wolf and his
friends, I do most cheerfully comply with your re
quest, as the Delegates of the people of Adams
county in that Convention. If any are disposed
to complain of my disclosing this attempt to cheat
the people, I have only to remark, that I was not
1 the first to promulgate it, for I do know that Judge
Lewis, at Harrisburg, on the 4th of March, die.
closed, substantially, the important facts contain.
ed in Mr. BUEHLER ' a letter. But Ido not seek
for an apology in this matter; I have acted upon
a full conviction of duty to myself and the Demo-
cratic party. and I care net for the opinions of
those who are exposed in their corrupt practices
by this disclosure. I am for, and go with the
'people, and not with demagogues.
You will please to insert this together with my
answer to Mr. Buehler's lettei,
and your note to
me, that the whole may be before the people.

HARRISBURG, March 2,1835.
DEAR Sia—lt has just been ascertained that the
Muhlenberg men have had second seta of Delegates
elected to the 4th of March Convention from Bucks,
Iycomiug, &e. &e. Their object is to leave the de
cision on the admission of the minority Delegates to
Adams,Montgosnery,Chester,Lebanon, Dauphin, &c.
and this let them all in and cheat Gov. Wolf out of
the nomination. The only course left therefore for the

Democrats. is to take up their own weapons, dirty as
they are,and break their beads with their own club.
All the disputed counties are to stand aside,and leave
the undisputed counties to settle the question. Now
the real interests of the party require that you should
at once get up a second set of Delegates from Adams,
and thus destroy the vote of the Delegates on the ad
mission question—and you are accordingly requested,
at once, to convene a meeting of a few of our friends,
(half a dozen will do)appoint a Chairman and Secre
tary, and then offer a resolution appointing any three
men you have confidence in, as Delegates to the De
mocratic Convention to meet here on the 4th,to repre
sent Adams county,and send them over. It is taken
forgranted,that you will have but little trouble in ma
king this arrangement.
The travelling expenses, &o. of the Delegates,
should you find difficulty in getting persons to come,
please pay and I will refund. The Delegates should
be at Sourbeck's Brick Tavcrn,at the end of the Har
risburg Bridge, by nine o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing,the 4th inst.—there they will find a person who
will explain the circumstances of the case. It is of
course desirable that you should confide this matter
to butfew ' aiul that in strict confidence. It may.not be
necessary for the Delegates to go into the Convention
at all, and if so, this circumstance of appointing a se
cond set will never be known. We only want to have
the Delegates here, if they are found necessary to foil
the artful designs of the enemy. Please write by the
bearer what we mail depend upon. You had better
keep the hearer until you have Delegates appointed,
and then send him off with a lettereontaining the par
ticulars,so that he can get here any time on Tuesday
night. Please also seal up this letter again and send it
back by the bearer. The bearer knows nothing at all
about his business at your place, nor need he—all ho
has got to do, is to deliver this letter and receive your
answer, for which you can make him wait.
Respectfully and truly yours.
H. BUEHLER.
Our arrangements arc such,that if you keep out the
vote of the Adams Delegates we are safe.
The Delegates should bring along the proceedings
of the meeting that appointed them, ranged by the
Chairman and Secretary.

"In the nomina ion of Muhlenberg, there is

in a third man. Alil I cannot comply with your

A SELECT TALE.
FROM THE NEW-YORK MIRROR
THE OROISSY YEW.
. .
The Croissy Yew is IA little_ tale, full of
freshness and interest. We wit'. !et - our
readers judge of it by an analysis and some
extracts.
"I will tell you, sir, why 1 come every
evening to smoke my pipe under the Croissy
Yew."
So begins the tale.
In 1812, the narrator, who had escaped
the conscription, by entering college; which
he had since left, did not know what to do
with himself. Meantime, he amused him
self by climbing up into a huge yew tree,
and casting his eyes over the surrounding
country. One moonlight evening, while at
his post, he overheard a conscript, who was
bidding adieu to his sister and his betrothed.
The latter wept. The more resolute sister
said,
"Have you not got a colonel? him who en
listed you? well, go and find your colonel,
throw yourselfon your knees, and say, "My
lord, I don't want to go away—l don't want
to be killed. There are my sister and a
wife who cannot live without me, and Who
are going to throw themselves into the river.
Beat me, colonel, put me in prison, but "don't
mnke me go away! Long live the emperor!
He's a noble fellow! Let him leave me in
peace and go about his business! Colonel, 1
am a man and a free one, and I have no
right to leave my sister Christine, who won't
have me quit her; and who will hate you,
colonel, if you make me go off!"
The brother smiled at his sister's eager
ness, and told her he must have a substitute,
and money to pay him.
"Well," said Christine, "I will give you
every thing I've got. My gold cross, my
ear-rings, my silk kerchiefs, my collarettes:
in a word, all my trinkets to him who will
consent to go!"
"All that does not amount to the price of
a man," replied Eugene.
Christine reflected awhile and said catch-
ing her brother's arm,
"Well! I am well worth a man—worth
more than a man: oh, certainly I am! I will
give myself; then. I will tell somebody or
other, 'Go in my brother's place and I will
be your wife. You see lam pretty—a lit.
tle spoiled, but what matters that? I will
love you so if you will save my brother!—
Oh, yes! I swear by the golden gross in
which is•some of my mother's gray hair, I
would willingly marry him who would devote
himself to you."
At evening, as they were seated at their
humble meal, without being able touch it,
and looking, fearfully at each other, some
one knocked at the door.
"Come in," said the young man, hastily
drying his eyes.
An old sergeant made his appearance
saying,
"Health! Is the conscript Eugene Leven
here!"
"Yes, sergeant."
"There," said the soldier, throwing a let
er on the table.
Eugene read slowly at first, but after
wards devoured the paper. It was his dis
charge in due form. He looked at the 'old
soldier with astonishment. •
"riot means that your place is taken,
conscript. It's a pity, though, for your
mustaches would have sprouted with a little
gunpowder. But enough, you are happy
now—farewell."
And he was going away.
"Oh, the devil" said he, and he returned
"Christine Leven—is that your sister?—
Where, is your sister?'
"Here," said Eugene, pointing to Chris-
tine, who was pale with joy and emotion.
"This one is for you, Miss," and he threw
a second letter on the table, but stopped short
as he saw Christine trembling with agita
tation, crumbling the letter in her hands,and
gazing fixedly on the table.
"What is the matter, what is the matter?"
said Eugene. "Dear Christine, let us see
that letter? Selfish being that I am I never
thought of it. Let me see who dares to
write to you? U'hat does all this mean?"
And he ran over the letter hastily.
"Oh, read it aloud," said Christine, "it's
the same to me! Good heavens! this is but
just!"
Eugene read aloud,
"Miss—l ask nothing—l go away with
out making any terms—l take your brother's
place; you need him. and no one needs me.
But I am honest and love you, ever since I
auwo..l:;i:u weep. I send you a ring of my
mother's. If you have pity upon me, you
will take the golden cross, in which is some
of your mother's gray hair, and which glit
tore on your neck in the moonlight; this eve
ning you will place it in the crevice of the
large yew tree, near the branches. I will
get it to-morrow morning; then you will
wait two years, and, if I am not dead, I will
bring it back. Will you remember What
you swore on that cross? Farewell."
"What does this mean," said Eugene,
slowly. "How could any one know! Ser
geant, do you understand this?"
"Some fellow on the look-out near you."
"Why then did he not come to us," frank
ly answered the young man. "What a way
of obliging is this?"
"Alt," said the soldier, "there's the thing!
one's afraid of being treated as a spy; and,
then, when one is young, and timid, and full
of romantic sentiments! one knows how to
write and is afraid to talk, for want of prac
tice; that's it!"
Eugene shook his head.
"Soldier!" cried he, "your hand! I will
not have this substitute—my sister shall not
be sacrificed-1 will go with you." 'See!' "
And ho took up his discharge and prepared
to tear it in pieces.
Christine stopped him.
"But what if I want to have him?" said
she:- t; ,After all, it's a fine action on his part.
And then he goes without making any terms
—and then he is unhappy—and then I have
no other means of keeping you—and then I
want to, in love with him! He did well,
knweve.:t,in not showing himself—one might
have regretted him- too much. I will take
the cross—but I should like to know,--Ser
geant, have you seen him?"
"Yes, now and then."
"Well! he is not hump-backed, or bandy
legged, is he?"
"A good jokel Is the French army re
cruited with such sort of stuff under the lit
tle corporal? Is it not composed of individ
uals irreproachable as to their persons, and
no fools as to morality?"
"Is he a mar. of worth?" asked Eugene.
"Very much so, Lanswer for it."
"Well, sir soldier," said Christ ine,remov
ing from her graceful neck the cross with
the black riband which supported it, "tell
him that he has done well; and place this
cross in the hollow'of the treat yew and
then, say nothing more to him, but do not
quit him, do you hear! and try to come
back with him, to tell me, "There ho is, it
is he himself, he is worthy of you."
__Eugene and Louise looked on, without
being able to speak. The grenadier rose,
took off his cap, received the cross, wiped
away a tear, and said, "Enough!"
• Christine turned to•her brother and fu.
ture sister. She was no longer the same
person. Hercharacter had assumed a more
serious hue. She told Louise; "I too am
betrothed; the pledge of my faith is in the
hands of a soldier of - the guards."
A year afterwards Eugene had to leave
his home. The enemy was in France, and
he would not have accepted a substitute now
if he could have found ono. At Montereau
his life was saved by a lieutenant of carbi
neers. As this officer informed him that
he had no family, Eugene invited him home
to his own.
Charles, such was his name, soon won
Christine's favor; but she had plighted her
troth to her brother's substitute, and she
was faithful to him. Then Charles handed
her the golden cross, and told her that it
was he, who, a poor collegian, ashamed of
the noble action he was about to perform,
went away without seeing her, and finally
rose to the rank of lieutenant.
"At present, sir," continued the narrator,
"we are married. The sergeant died at
Waterloo. Eugene and myself have pros
pered in the world: we live in that little red
and' white house you see yonder, and I go
every evening to smoke my pipe under the
proissy Yew."
Scrap.—Bless me, cried a strap.
ger on entering a court room, how many
lawyers . you have;hovi is it possible that
half this number chn find employment?
Nothing so easily conceived, replied a by.
stander: they live by watching each other.
I conceive, says the stranger, how the case
stands. - he catchpole watches the culprit,
the attorney the catchpole, the counsellor
the attorney, and the solicitor the counsel
lor. You put me in mind, says the stritn•
ger, of a table I read when I was at school,
which was this:
A grasshopper wet with dew was merri
ly singing under a leaf; a whangam that eats
grasshoppers, was just stretching forth to de
vour it; a snake that eats whangams lay
coiled up ready to" fasten upon the whang-
am; the hawk that eats snakes had just
stooped from above to seize upon the snake;
all equally intent upon their prey and un
mindful of their danger. Just at the same
moment, the whangam eat the grasshopper,
the snake eat the whangam, the hawk eat
the snake, when soaring from on high a
vulture gobbled up the grasshopper, whang.
am and all.
VARIOUS MATTERS.
Correspondence of Poulson's Daily Advertiser.
HARRISBURG, April 9.
In the House, Messrs. Stevens and M'El
wee had some words of crimination and re
crimination. Mr. Stevens offered an amend
ment to some bill, I forget what, to the
effect that $75,000 be appropriated to the
repair, &c. ofthe Eastern Penitentiary; Mr.
M'Elwee opposed it, and reflected upon its
officers, as well as the majority of the com
mittee that made the report, approbatory of
the conduct and management of those offi
cers. Mr. Stevens said the report did no
more than justice to the officers and institu
Lion—he said if Mr. M'Elwee had attended
to his business, as a member of that com
mittee, instead of leaving it to offer his Sen.
ate expunging resolutions in the House, he
would have known such to be the fact. It
will be recollected that this Mr. M'Elwee
is the apostate Whig from Bedford, and that
he was the member that offered resolutions
instructing the Senate of the United States
to expunge certain resolUtions relative to
the executive usurpations of President Jack
son; and that he left Philadelphia, where
the committee of which he was a member
was sitting, for the performance of their du
ty, to come to Harrisburg to call up those
resolutions; his gratuitous attack therefore
on the officers of the Penitentiary was alike
without knowledge, and with malignity.
The Massachusetts House of Representa-
tives, by a vote of 160 to 120, have passEd
a bill, abolishing the punishment of death,
except for the crime of murder.

sent from Ireland to the present Parliament,
not less than three-and.twenty are mem

HUGH L. WHITE.
Memorandum of the early history of
Judge White---Hugh L. White was born
October 30th 1773, in lredell county, North
Carolina, (then Rowan county.) When
about seven or eight yearsofage,his father
moved to Cripple Creek, Wythe county,
Virginia, and lived there a few years; from
thence he moved to the neigbourhood of
Knoxville, Tenn. When a mere lad; H. L.
White was engaged in most of .Sevier's
campaigns against the Cherokee Indians,
and was distinguished for his bravery, hardi
hood and sagacity in that partizan warfare.
Under the influence of Col. Charles Mc.
Clung, who had recently come from Penn
sylvania, and had married his sister, and
observed decided evidence of talent in young
White, his father was induced Co send him
to Pennsylvania to finish his education and
study the profession of law. He completed
his education at some institution in Phila.
delphia, whore Congress was then in ses
sion, and where he then attracted notice,nnd
obtained the friendship of that distinguished
patriot and republican, Nathaniel Macon,
of North Carolina. After completing his
education in Philadelphia he went to Lan
caster in Pennsylvania, and studied the pro
fession of law under Mr. Hopkins,- then an
eminent lawyer of that place.—Knoivale

Eitra Clerk hire, in the first year of the
Government, was 8109! In the last year,
838,3551 In the two first years of Mr. Jef
ferson's administration, it was 8 , 150! He
then appears to have arrested it, doubtless
because of its illegality, and the abuses to
which it war liable. In the remaining six
years of his administration, there was noth
ing paid for extra clerk•hire. In the four
years of John Quincy Adams' administra
tion.—that administration so outrageously
abused for its extravagance by Jacksonism
—the whole amount of clerks' (extra) hire,
was rather upwards of 16,000 dollars. In
the last year of his succewor—the second

Government to the "simple machine" it was
intended to be—in a single year it exceeded

similar to that which the British Parliarnixat,,,
have adopted in reference to slavery hi the
West Indies. This country isnot OW States
•with an unrestricted Legislature, but
_a WO ,
federacy of States, united . by a Constitblice;::
in which certain powers are granted to the
National Government, and all other powers. .. :
are reserved by the States. Among these ,
reserved powers is the regulation ofslavery.---
Congress have no power to interfere with_
the slaves in the respective Staten; and an ,
act of Congress to emancipate theslaves ":
those States would be as wholly null and T .
void as an act of the British Parliantent for
the same purpose. The Legislatures ofthe
respective States cannot interfere with the
Legislatures of each other. In some of the
States, where laws forbidding emancipation
exist, the minority cannot, if disposed, give
freedom to their slaves. Yon percetvicilbeth_
that the National Government and the_ peo.
ple of the Northern States have na power,
nor right, to adopt any direct measures
reference to the emancipation of slaves in':
the Southern' States. The slave-holders
themselves are the only men who can defin.
itely act on this subject; and the only proper ... - .
and useful influence which:the - friends it
-
emancipation in other States can use, eon.
slats in argument and entreaty. The axis.
teuce of our Union, and its manifold Weis.
ings, depend on a faithful adherence to the
principles and spirit' of our constittithAiks
this and on all other points."

few 'days since, a letter in the Codrier ane:
Enquirer, giving the details of an outrage
committed upon a Fes, in tlie viliae of
Orville, Onondaga County, so horrible kilts
character and so revolting in its deteda,that
we could not—would not—beheve them
were monsters in human shape, eapabki of
such unparalleled cruelty.
Meeting with a friend yesterday,. from
Syracuse, we inquired into the history of ,
this Outrage, and finind the lactates set forth
in the Courier and Enquirer, literally tree,
and substantially as follows:
The wife of Tyler, who was sett;
about a year since, to the State-prison, was'
left residing at Orville. It was rumored, --
during the fall, that an improper intimacy
existed between this woman arid. a Mr.-
Young, and although no evidence of it eiis. - ! -
ted, and none of the decencies of life were
known to be violated, a village itrcitrerent
was raised against her. The embenfwerer
finally fanned into a blaze, and having 'pas
sessed.themselves of a bucket of Tar and a
I bag of Feathers, eight men proceeded in a
Sleigh, at 12 o'clock at night, to the House
of the offender, where they confidently es..
petted to surprise her in bed with her pap.
mour. Breaking into the House,they found..
the woman in bed with her children. M._
ter searching in vain for Young, they seized
the woman, dragged her, with nothing bat
her night clothes, into the street, pit a gag
in her mouth, threw a 'blanket over her
shoulders,. put her into the sleigh and drove
off, leaving three littk children alone, with. -
outfire or a light, shrieking with, terror!
The monsters drove off about three quer
ters of a mile, took her into a field, tore ott .
her night clothes, and with the instruments'
of torture prepared for the parpose, these
eight unfeeling wretches perpetrated, upon
a defenceless and unfortunate Fatamx, =-
Outrage of the most horrible character. - -
After literally enveloping the miserable
woman in tar, they rolled her in the blanket,
took her to an unoccupied and unfrequented i.
barn, where they left her entirely helplesk
and still gagged, to perish with cold, talkie
