THE QUAKES AMD HIGHWAYMAN.
Toby Simpson, a pattern to Quakers,inhabited a neat little house in London,beautified by tbe presence of his daugh-ter Mary. She was scarcely seven-teen, a beautiful blonde with blue eyes,and possessing as much wisdom asbeauty, was sought after by all tbeyoung men among her father's acquain-tances. Those of the neighborhoodtried, in vain, to win a smile. Mary
".You must disinherit him; I do tot;wish it said that I have speculated uponyour fortune." And finishing theseWords, the Quaker left the chamber, j
No, murmured he, when km, "chil-- !

He sterns all quiet and coldBeneath the soil that gaee him birth;
Then break his battle brand in twain,Aad lay it with hna in the earth.
Wo more at midnight shall he urgeHis toilsome march among the pines;
5r hear upou the morning airThe war-sho- ut of his charging lines.
Cold is the eye whose meteor gleamElasbrd hope on all nithin its light:
And still the voice that trumpet-tone- d,
Kaug through the serried rauks of tight.
So more for him shall cannons park.Orients gleam white npon the plain:
And w here hiscani-tire- s gleamed olorr,Crown reapers laugh amid the graiu!
So more above his narrow bedShall sound the tread of marching feet,
The rille vollev and the rrs.-- hVf sabres when the foeiueu meet.
And though the wind of aiitnmn rave.And winter snow.- fall thick and deep
Above his brrat, they cannot moveThe quiet of his dreauilos sleep.

sentence of death upon a convictedcriminal. Caligula passed for a mostamiable young gentleman before hewas clothed with the Imperial purple,and for about eight months afterwards.It was Trajan, 1 think, who said thatabsolute power would convert any maninto a wild beast, whatever was theoriginal benevolence of his nature. Ifyou decide that the Attorney Generalholds in his own bands or shares withothers the power of life and death overus all, I mean to be very cautious inmy intercourse with him ; and I warnyou, tbe judges whom I am now ad-
dressing, to do likewise. Trust not tothe gentleness and kindness which hasalways marked his behavior heretofore.Keep your distance ; be careful howyou approach him ; for you know notat what moment or by what trifle youmay rouse the sleeping tiger. Uemem-be- r
the injunction of Scripture. "Gonot near to the man who hath powerto kill ; and it thou come unto him,see that thou make no fault, lest hetake away thy life presently ; for thougoest among snares and walkest uponme battlements of the city."
Tk. nglil v" vl.. U . - O . vi i--mcnt to kill and imprison citizens forpolitical offences has not been practi-cally claimed in this country, except incases where the commissioned officersof the army were the instruments used.AVhy should it be confined to them ?

to dream of his future prosperity, andbefore daybreak he will find himselfbetween two dragoons on his way tothe mines of Siberia. In Turkey tbeverbal order of the Sultan or any ofbis powerful favorites will cause a manto be tied up in a sack and cast intothe Bosphorus. Nero accused Peterand Paul ofspreading a "pestilent super-stition," which they called the gospel,lie heard their defenee in person, andsent them to the cross. Afterward triedthe whole Christian church in one bodyon a charge of setting tire to the city,and he convicted them, though he knewnot only that they were innocent, butthat he himself had committed thecrime. The judgment was followed byinstant execution ; he let loose thePrtetorian guards upon men, womenand children, to drown, butcher andburn them.

Macbeth understood the whole phil-osophy of tbe subject. He was an un-
limited monarch. His power to pun-ish for any offence or for no offence atall was as broad as that which the At-torney General claims or himself andhis brother officers under the UnitedStates. But he was more cautious howhe used it. He had a dangerous rival,from whom he apprehended the mostserious peril to the "life of his government. The necessity to get rid ofhim was plain enough, but he eouldnotafford to shock the moral sense of theworld by pleading political necessityfor the murder. He must
"Mask the business from the common eye. 'Accordingly he sent for two enter-
prising gentlemen, whom he took intohis service upon liberal pay "madelove to their assistance ;" and got themto deal with the accused party. Heacted as his own judge advocate.

For these, aud "many weighty rea-sons" besides, he thought it best tocommit the execution of his design to asubordinate agency. The commissionthus organized in B anquo's case sat np-on him that very night at a convenientplace beside the road where it wasknown he wonld be traveling; andthey did precisely what the AttorneyGeneral says the military officers mayjr. in !.;.-- oo.ntry they took and killedhim, because their employer at the)head of the Government wanted it done,and paid him for doing it out of thepublic treasury.
But of all the persons that ever wield-ed this kind of power, the one whowent most directly to the purpose andobject of it was Lola Montez. She re-
duced it to the clementrry principle.In 14', when she was minister andmistress to the King of Bavaria, shedictated all the measures of the gov-ernment. The times were troublesome.All overGermany the spirit of rebellionwas rising; everywhere tbe peoplewanted to see a first-clas- s revolution,like that which had just exploded inFrance. Many persons in Bavariadisliked to be governed so absolutelyby a lad3r of the character which LolaMontez lore, and some of them wererash enough to say so. Of course thatwas treason, and she went about topunish it in the simplest of all possibleways. She bought herself a pack ofEnglish bull dogs, trained to tear theflesh, and maiiirle the limbs and lanthe lite-bloo- d ; ana with, these dogs ather heels, she marched up ami downthe streets of Munich, with a most ma-jestic tread, and with a sense of powerwhich any Judge Advocate in Amer-ica might envy. When she saw anyperson whom she chose to denouncefor "thwarting the government" or"using disloval language," her oledicutfollowers needed but a sign to makethem spring at the throat of their vic-
tim. It gives me unspeakable pleas-ure to tell you the sequal. The peoplerose in their strength, smashed downthe whole machinery of oppression,and drove out into uttermost shame,king, strumpet, do!, and all. Fromthat time to this neither man, woman,nor beast, has dared to worry or killthe people of Bavaria.
All'these are but so many differentways of using the arbitrary power topunish. The variety is merely in themeans which a tyranieal governmenttakes to destroy those whom it isbound to protect. Everywhere it isbut another construction, on tbe same
of that remorseless machineCrinciple,despotism wreaks its ven-
geance on those who offend it. In acivilized country it nearly always, usesthe military force, because that is thesharpest and surest, as well as the bestlooking instrument for such a purpose.But in none of its forms can it lie in-
troduced into this country ; we haveno room for it; the ground here is allpreoccupied by legal and free institu-tions.
Between the officers who have apower like this and the people who areliabld to become its victims, there canbe no relation Except that of masterand slave.- - Thf master" ltffay be' kindand the' servant maybe contended inhis bondage; but the man who cantake your life, or restrain your liberty,or despoil you of your property at hisdiscretion, cither with his own handsor by means ofa hired ovdrseer, ownsyou and he can force you to serve him.All you are, all you have, includingyour wives and children, are his prop-erty.
If nry learned and very good friend;the Attorney (ieneral, has this right ofdomination ever me, I shonld not bevery much frightened, for f should ex-pect hint to use ifas moderately as anyman in all the world ; but I should feelthe' necessity of being very discreet.He might change' in a short time.

"1 do not disguise from myself," taidthe Attorney General, "that" this trialis nothing less than a claim to thothroiio ;"and still more pregnant werethe words of the Lord tSiief Baron ofEngland, presiding J udge of tho occa-sion : "We are bound to take notitwthat George IIL was publicly marriedto Queeu Charlotte, and that they werepublicly crowned. If there was a prior'marriage, and the first wife was living"(which she-- wasj ''At the time of thesecond marriage, George"' IV.; may havebad no right to the throne .
The courteous Lord Chief Baron wastoo polite to say that George IV., un-der such circumstances, could bave"ba4no right to the throne," but that bo"may have b.-i-d none;" nor did be add,that accepting the proof of Hannah-Lightfoo- t

All those extraordinary statementsand facts are attested, and appearplaced Imyond dispute on masses ofevidence such as we seldom' find clus-tering aiouiid evcnls of such pc.lKalimportance, and to keep which secretsuch enormous interests have lecn forfour generations arrayed.

was not a coquette, and so far from turn- - j
ing to account the effect produced byher charms, she felt so much annoyed I
1 ...... . .by it, that sbe could hardly treat withcivility her many admirers, one only ex-
cepted Edward Weresford a youngartist who was intimate with the family.
A simple occurrence was the causeof this intimacy. Premature deathhad taken away the wife of the Quaker,still in her youth and beauty, aud be,wishing to perpetuate the memory ofone so dear to him, had called a paint-er to her death bed. It was there thatEdward first met the afflicted daughter
there, between the tears of one, andthe sacred eniplopment of the other,year passed since that event had onlyserved to strengthen the bond formedunder such circumstances, and theyoung nan had already ventured todeclare lis hopes and desires.
Toby had no reason for opposingthe inclitations tif the young jieople.Without being rich, Kdward earned,by mean j of his brush and pal let te,enough tohonorably maintain a family.llistathci, Mr. V eresford, an old citymerchant, had retired with an immensefortune ; t rare example of repeatedsuccesses i speculation, so rapid even,that very jew persons have been ableto follow their progress. Mr. Weres-ford, being of a quick, stern disposition,lived alont in the west end of Ijoii-do- n,
without troubling himself alionthis son, aid leaving him to shift forhimself. le was one of those oblig-ing egotist, who troubled no one iuorder not to be themselves troubledone of the most perfectly complaisant,provided nothing is asked of them.Edward, then, bad nothing to hinderhis courtship of that fair Quakeress,well knowiag that her father would notoppose the kiarrage. The situation ofthe lovers was most prosperous, andhonest Toby waited for nothing to fixthe wedding day, save the back rentsdue from his farms, intending to setapart that income to defray the expen-ses of the or.casion. With this view,he left for his country seat, a few milesfrom London in order to arrange hisaffairs. He was absent from home buta single day, and returning at night onhorseback, he perceived, a little in ad-
vance, a horseman who blocked up theroad. He stopped for a moment, un-
certain whether to proceed or tarnback. While in this predicament, thestranger advanced toward him. Itwas too late to think of escapeing, andputting the best possible face upon theaffair, his starte 1 his horse again. Ashe approached tbe troublesome stranger, he perceived that he was masked,an unpleasant augury of what was sooncontiemed. 'J'hci unknown. rlrewr ria-to- l,

manded his purse. The (Quaker wasnot a coward, but calm in character,inoffensive in religion, and unable, be-
ing unarmed, to resist an armed man,with the greatest coolness he drewfrom his pocket his purse, containingtwelve guineas. Ihe highwaymantook it, counted out the money, and letthe Quaker pass, who, believing him-self cleared, quickened his pace to atrot. But the highwayman, seeinghow little resistance had feen ottered,and hoping for more boot-- , soon re-joined honest Toby, and again blockedup the the way, and pointing his pis-tol, cried out, "Your watch!"
The Quaker, although surprised, didnot show it in the least, and cooly tak-ing out his watch, and noticing thetime, placed the jewel in the hand ofthe thief, saying :
"Now I pray you lot me go home,for my daughter will feel uneasy at myabsence."
"One moment," replied the maskedcavalier, growing more hardened bvhis continued docility ; "swear thatyon have no other sum.
"I never swear," replied the Quaker."Well affirm, then, that you have
about you no more money, and uponthe honor of a highwayman, who willnot resort to violence towards a manwho yields with so much grace, I willno further molest you."
Toby reflected a moment, and shookhis head. "Whoever thou art," saidhe, gravely, "you have noticed that Iam a Quaker, who would not concealthe truth, although at the risk of mylife. In my saddle bags I have thesum of two hundred pounds sterling."
"Two hundred pounds sterling!"cried the highwayman, whose evesglistened through his mask.
"If you are good, if yon are human,"replied the Quaker, you will not takethis money ; my daughter is about le-in- g
married, and this sum is necessaryfor the occasion ; it would he a longtime before I could get together a sim-ilar sum ; the dear child loves her in-
tended, and it would bo exceedinglycruel to deny their union. You havea heart, perhaps you have loved ; youwould not, cannot, do so wicked an ac-
tion.""What has your daughter, her lover,
or their marriage to do with me ? Few-er words and more promptness ; giveme the money !"
Toby, sighing, raised the 'saddle bags,took out the heavy sack and handed itslcwly t'd'fhe' masked man, then
to gallop off."Hold on, my Quaker friend," said
the other, seising the bridle. ''Themoment of your arrival you will de-
nounce me to the magistrate ; that isusual, and I have nothing to say ; butfmust at least, be beyond pursuit to-night.' My mare is feeble enough, andwhat is more, she is fatigued; yourhorse on the contrary, appears vigor-ous, for the weight of the sack did notincumber him ; dismount, and give meyour horse ; you may take min if youwish."
It was too'late to think of resisting;stiff althonrn the increasing demandswe're of a naturvf to'hdat the bile of themost patient man, good Toby dismount-ed, and with resignation accept wl thesohry jade that was left in exchange!nad I knovrn this, he contented him-self thinking, I should have ran awaywhen I first met the' rascal, and ceWain-t- y
he would never have overtaken mewith this rouxsT.
Meanwhile, the masked man, f bank-ing bint ironically for his complaisance,burying his rowels, d'sappearcd.
Before arriving in London, the plun
went home without appearing the least t
troubled, and without speaking of hisadventure. He did not go to a magis-trate, but embraced his daughter who.doubting nothing, and as usual retiredand slept, with pleasant dreams. Nextmorning he commenced his researches.Bringing out the mare from the stable j
where she had passed the night, beplaced the bridle upon her neck, hop-ing that the animal guided by habit,would naturally g to her master'shouse.
41, ls 1. .w,.L..1r..l 1u k f ifa freein the streets ot London, and followed i
her. But he over-rate- d her instinct;for a long time she walked about, mak-- !ing a thousand turns and curves with- -
out object or direction; sometimes stop- - j
ping, then starting iu a contrary diree-- !
lion. Toby despaired! The thief,!thought be, never resided in London; j
how silly I was not to notify a mag- - j
istrate before it was too late, in-- jstead ot dejK-ndin- g upon this animal to j
tui'l the vagalnmd.He was interrupted in his reflections
by the children, who had been nearlytrod upon by the mare a momentsince so ouiet, now she started to run.
"Stop her! stop Lc-rl- " cried everyone.
"Let her go!" cried tbe Quaker, "inthe name of Heaven, do not stop her!"
And following, with anxiety, thecourse of the animal, be saw her rap-idly enter the half-ope- n gateway of asplendid residence at the est
"Tis here," thought the Quaker,thankfully raising his eyes to Heaven.Then, in passing the house, hesaw a servant in the yard patting thebeast, and conducting her to the stable.He then asked of the first person hemet the name of the proprietor of thehouse.
"What! are yoa a stranger in thispart of the town that you do not knowthe residence of the rich merchant,Weresford ?"
The Quaker stood petrified."Weresford, repeated the man, be-
lieving himself misunderstood ; "youwell know tbe man who has made sogreat a fortune."
"Thanks, my frieud, thanks," re-
plied Toby.He was unable to recover himself.
Weresford Edward's father a re-
spected man ! he my thief!He believed himself the butt of a
dream, and wished to return home.Nevertheless, he called to mind severalinstances of respectable men who badbeen connected with bands ofmalefac--
source of which was so uncertain, thenthis mare, which seemed to be going toher master. Toby was determined tosolve the mystery. He went boldlyinto the yard, and demanded speechwith the master, who, although it wasnearly noon, was still in bod anotherindication of a night of fatigue. TheQuaker insinted upon being introducedimmediately, and soon found himselfin t eresford s r. He hadjust waked, and rubbing ffls eyes, ask-ed, a little out of humor :
"Who are you, sir, and what do youwant ?"
The sound of his voice awakenedTolcy's recollection, and completed hisconviction. Quietly taking a chair, heposted himself near the bed without re-
moving his hat."You remained covered ?" cried the
surprised merchant."I am a Quaker, replied tbe otliT,
with much calmness, "and you knowthat such is our usage,"
At the first words of the Quaker,Weresford sprang up, and closely ex-
amined his visitor. Without doubt herecognized him, for he turned pale.
"Well," asked he, stammering, "whatis, if you please, the the subjectwhich brings you hither?"
"I ask pardon for having shown somuch haste," replied Toby, "but amongfriends it is not usual to stand uponceremony, and 1 am come, without form,to ask for my watch which ycM borrow-ed yesterday."
"The watch !""I value it much it was my poor
wife's and I cannot do without it.My brother-in-law- , the alderman, neverwould pardon me for letting a jewelwhich recalls to mind his sister, to passfrom my hand a day."
The name of the alderman seemedto make some impression on Ylfestford.Without waiting for a reply, Toby con-tinued :'
"Yon will oblige me bjr returningthose twelve g ine as which I lent you atthe sains time; nevertheless, if n
are in want of them, I Consent to kindthem to you, on candltitfii you give mea receipt."
The coolness of ths Quaker so muchdisconcerted the' merchant, that hedared not deny the possession" of thestolen articles but not wishing to ac-
knowledge it, he hesitated to reply, ard'Toby added:
"1 have1" told you of th projectsmarriage of my daughter Mar3. 1
had reserved a suin of two hundredpounds sterling for the bride's portion,but I have met with an accident, lastevening; on the London road I wascompletely robled, so completely, thatI arn come to pray you to give yonr'sona marriage portion, which, had it notbeen for that, 1 should never asked ofyou."
M son !"4 .
"Eh ! yes ; oVm't yu" know that it ishim who is in love with Mary, and isto marry hr?"
"Edward!" cried th merchant,throwing himself at the' foot of the hd.
Edward Wesford," calmly repliedthe' Quaker, taking a pinch of snuff."Let ns see ; do something for him. Ishould dislike to have him know whatpassed last night, and if you do notfurnish the sum I have promised it willbe itecessary I should tell hira how Ilost it."Weresford ran to a secretary, took out
a box with a triple lock, opened it, andplaced in the hands of the Qitkr, hiswatehjliis purse and his sack ofmoney."
"(JchkI !" paid the Quaker, on receiv-ing them : "I sec I was rii;ht in depend-ing uprn you."

Military Trials of Civilians. .
ISll-X-A CASE? ABtiLMESTOF J. S. BLACK.
COSCLl'DEO. '
Whatever is not so given is witLhcIJ,and the exercise of it is positively pro-hibited. Courts-marti- al in the armyand navy are authorised ; they are le-
gal institutions; their jurisdiction islimited, and their whole e of procedure is d bv the acts ofCongress, t'pon the civil courts allthe jurisdiction they have or can haveis bestowed by law, and if one of themgoes beyond what is written its actionis ultra rires and void. But a militarycommission is not a court-martia- l, andit is not a civil court. It is not gov-erned by the law which is made for ci-
ther, and it has no law of its own.Within the last five years we have seen,for the first time, tri-bunals not only assuming power whichthe law did not give them, but thrust-ni- g
asido the regular courts to whichthe power was exclusively given.
What is the consequence ? This ter-rible authority is wholly undefined,and its exercise is without any legalcontrol. Undellegated power is alwaysunlimited. The field that lies outsideot tbe Constitution and laws has noboundary. Thierry, the French histo-rian of England, says that when thecrown and sceptre were offered toCromwell, he hesitated for several daysand answered, "Do not make me aking : for then my hands will be tiedup by the laws which define the dutiesof that office; but make me protectorof the commonwealth and 1 can dowhat I please ; no statute restrainingand limiting the royal prerogative willapply to me." So their commissionshave no legal origin ana no legal nameby which they are known among thechildren or men : no law applies tothem, and they exercise all power forthe paradoxical reason that none belongs to them righttullv.
Ask the Attorney General whatrules apply to military commissions inthe exercise of their assumed authority over civiliaus. Come, Mr. Attor-ney, "gird up thy loins now like amaujI will demand ot thee, and thou shaltdeclare unto me if thou bast under-standing." How is a military com- -
sion organized ? What bhull be thenumber and rank of its members ?
What offences come within its jurisdiction ? What is its code of procedure? How shall witnesses be compelled to attend it? Is it perjury fora witness to swear falsely i What isthe function of the Judge Advocate?Does he tell tbe members how theymust find, or docs he only persuadethem to convict ? Is be the agent ofthe government, to command themwhat evidence they shall admit andwhat sentence they shall pronounce;or docs he always carry his pojnt, rightor wrong, by the mere force of elo-quence and ingenuity? What is thenature of their punishmen t ? May theyconfiscate property and levy fines aswell as imprison ana kill ; In addi-tion to strangling their victim, maythey also deny him the last consolations of religion, and re 1 use bis lamilythe melancholy privilege of giving hima tlecent grave r
To none of these questions can theAttorney General make a reply, forthere'is no law on the subject. Hewilt not attempt to "darken counsel bywords without knowledg" and, there-fore, like Job, he can only lay his handupon his mouth and keep silence.
The power exercised through thosemilitary commissions is not only un-
regulated by law, but it is incapableof being so regulated. What is it thatVou claim, Mr. Attorney ? I will giveyou a dennition, me correctness otwni.rth joe will not attempt to gain-say. Ycn' assert the right of the exec-utive Government, without the inter-vention of the judiciary to capture,imprison, and' kill' any person to whomth" Government or its paid depend-ants may choose to impnte an offence.This, in its Very essence, is despoticand lawless. It is1 never claimed ortolerated except by the governmentswhich deny the restraints of all law.It Mas been exercised by the great andsmall oppressors of mankind ever sincethe days of Ximrodv It operates in'different wv- - the tsvU it thusnot always the same; it hides its hid-eoits- "
features under many disguises;it assumes every variety of form J'It earn change Shanes with Proteus for advantages.Ami set the march' rou MachiaTal to school . '
But in ail natations of otrtwardit is still identical in princip-
le-, object and origin, It is alwaysthe same)' greSat engine of despotismwhich Hamilton described it to be.
Fnderhe old French monarchy thefavorite fashion of if was a Itttre ,rrocht, signed by the-- king, and thiswould consign the party to a lothsomedimgon until he died, VorgottOn by alltLc world. An imperial t;.asc will an
man are excluded from all participa-tion in the business? Xo law has be-- ,stowed the right upon army officersmore than than upon other persons.If men are to le hung up without thatlegal trial which the Constitution guar-antees to them, why not employ com-missions of clergymen, merchants,manufacturers, horse-dealer- s, butchersor drovers to do it ? It will not bepretended that military men are betterqualified to decide questions of fact orlaw than other classes of people, for itis known on the contrary that theyare, as a general rule, least of all fittedto perform the duties that belong to aJudge.
The Attorney General thinks that aproceeding which takes away the livesof citizens without a constitutionaltrial is a most merciful dispensation.His idea of humanity as well as law isembodied in the bureau of militajy jus-tice, with all its dark and bloody ma-chinery. For that strange opinion hegives this curious reason : That the du-
ty of the Commander-in-Chie- f is to kill,and unless he has this bureau and thesecommissions he must "butcher" indis-criminately without mercy or justice.I admit that if the Commander-in-Chie- for any other officer of the Governmenthas the power of an Asiatic king, tobutcher the people at pleasure, he oughtto have somebody to aid him in select-ing his victims, as well as to do therough work of strangling and shooting.But if my learned friend will only con-descended to cast an eye npon tbe Con-stitution, he will see at once that allthe executive and military officers areoonpUuiy voi;ov-o-v Ly the provisionthat the life of a citizen nhall not betaken at all until after legal convictionby a court and jury.
You cannot help but see that milita-ry commissions if suffered to go on,will be used for most pernicious pur-poses. I have criticised none of theirpast proceedings, nor made any allu-sion to their history in the last fiveyears. But what can be the meaningof this effort to maintain them amongus? Certainly not to punish actualguilt. All the ends of true justice areattained by the prompt, speedy, im-
partial trial which the courts are boundto give. Is there any danger thatcrime will be winked upon by theJudges? I oes anybody pretend thatCourts ami juries have the less abilityto decide upon facts and law than themen who sit in military tribunals ?
The counsel in this cause will not in-
sult you by even hinting such an opin-ion. What righteous or just purpose,then, can they serve ? Xono whatever.
But while they are utterly powerlessto do even a sliadow of good, they willbe omnipotent to trample upon inno-cence, to gag the truth, to silence pa-triotism, and crush the liberties of thecountry. They will alwa-- s be organ-ized to convict, and the conviction willfollow the accusation as surely as nightfollows dav. The Government, ofcourse, will accuse none before such acommission except those whom itpredetermines to ruin and destroy. Theaccuser can choose the judges, and willcertainly select those who are knownto be the most ignorant, the most un-
principled, and the most ready to dowhatever may please the power whichgave them pay, promotion and plunder.The willing witness can be found aseasily as the superserviceable judge.The treacherous spy, and the base informer those lothesome wretches whodo their lying by the job will stocksuch a market with abundant pnrjury,for the authorities that employ them,will be bound to protect as well as re-ward them. A corrupt and tyrannicalgovernment, with such an engine at itscommand, will shock the world withthe enormity of crimes. Plied as itmay be by "the arts of a malignantpriesthood, and urged on by the mad-ness of a raving crowd, it will be worsethan the popish plot, or the French rev-olution it will e a combination ofboth, with Fonquier Tinville on thebench, and Titus Oates in the witness'box. You can save us from this hor-rible fate. You alone can "deliver nsfrom the body of this death." To thatfearful extent is the destiny of this na-tion in your hands.

A CLAIMANT TO THE CROWN OP
From the Sea- - York Citizen."
From the proceedings thLord Chief Baron and Judge Ordinaryo England, reported in the IjmJoupapers of June 2d, it appears beyondcontroversy that the present legitimateQueen of England is not Mrs.' AdelaideVSrtnrS folwrrjf, tinrn f'Innlph,' lintMrs. La'vinia Jauetta Hortot J.yves ;and that the trud Prince of Wales isnot the narrow bead?d, andhalf imliecile" manikin w ho some yearsago was placed ou exhibition in thiscountry by the Duke at Newcastle, butone Willaim Henry Uyvts, son ofQueen I.avinia aforesaid, whose causewe hereby espouse with all thc zeal anddevotion of Lochicl and the chieftainsof th' Scotch Highlands to thc right-ful succession of the Stewarts as cm-bodi- ed
in the person of "Pohhic PrinceCharlie."
Let us briefly opitor.Jize the facts ofthis astounding revelation r
Oh March 4, 177, Henry FredrickGueiph, Duke of .Cumberland andbrother to George III. was duly audlawfully married at the house of LordArcher, in Grosvcnor Square, London,to Miss Olive Wiimot, daughter of the1 lev. Dr. John Wiimot rmf Princess ofPoniatowski, to the king of Po-land, and the lleverciid Doctor's wife.The marriage ceremony was perform-ed by the bride's father, Dr. Wiimot,and is attested in numerous certificatesby his signature, that of the bride andbridegroom, and also of lnird Brookeand Mr. AddOz, who w?ro present- Switnesses the genuineness of suchsignatures luying again attested by Wil-liam Pitt, subsequently the great LordChatham, and Miv DuitiiSiigj who wasafterwards created Viscount Ashbur-tou- .
ThTC is a further documentary evi-dence in th? hflnd-writin- g of Kii'George 11 1." attested as genuine by thesignatures of Lord Chatham, Mr. Dun-ning anil Dr. Wiimot, that Olive Gueiph,sole issue of this marriage, was recog-nized as the legitimate Princess ofCumberland by the King who settled alileral allowance npon her for main-tenance, and iosned flrr her benefit apatent of nobility crc3titig "Olive ofCumberland' DucIifss of Lancaster,"dated Palace of St. Janios, May 17,177.'!, and attested y the signaturesof lxrds Chatham eiid ATshburtoiiaforesaid.
THis was upon condition, however,that the secret of Olive Wilmot's mar-riage and Olive Gitelph's birth shouldle preserved ; and that the title; ofDucltess of Lancaster should" bo l--e
claimed by the latter until after theKing's death this being to save theDuke of Cumberland front prosecutionfor bigamy on account of his subse-quent "marriage, in October, 1771, tothe loidy Anne Horton, sister to thenotorious Colonel Luttre'Il,' and Irishwit, politician and profligate, who isnow chiefly rwinetnltered from denunci-ations of his acts and character iu thepages of Juiiitis."" ,.
