The Long Ago. n r n. F . TATi^p.

Oh! a wonderful stream is the river Time, As it runs through tho realms of tears,

With faultless rythm and musical rhyme. And a broader sweep, and a snrgc sublime,

And blends with tho ocean of years.

How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow. And snmmers, like buds between.

And the year is the sheaf—so they come and they go, On the river's breast, with Its ebb and Its flow,

As it glides la the shadow and shoen.

There's a magical M e up the river of Time, Where the softest of airs are playing ;

There's a cloudless sky and a tropical clime, And a song as cheap as a vesper chime,

And the Junes with the roses are staying.

And the name of this Isle is the Long Ago, And we bury our treasure there;

There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow, There are heaps of dust but we loved them s o !

There are trinkets and tresses of hair.

There arc fragments af songs that nobody simrs. And part of an infant's prayer;

There's a lute nnswept, and a harp without strings, There arc broken vows and pieces of rings,

And the garments that SHE used to wear.

There arc hands that waved when the fairy shore By the mirage is lifted in air;

And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent roar, Sweet voices we heard in tho days gone before.

When tho wind down the river is fair.

Oh I remembered for aye be the blessed Isle, All the day of life till night—

When the evening comes with its beautiful smile, And crar eyes are closing to slumber awhile, .

May that "greenwoed of soul" be in sight. \

Thirty-live yeara since they were first introduced into this country from Germany, during whieli time they have undoubtedly performed more cures, and benefitted suffering humanity to a greater extent, than any other remedies known to the public.

These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com­plaint, Jaundice, D y s ^ f ^ ^ p e p s i a , Chronic orNer-vous Debility, Chron • « l i e Diarrhoea. Disease of the Kidneys nnd ail P V Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver, M " Stomach or intestines.

P B Q S T B A T I 0 N OF THE. SYSTEM,

induced by Severe Labor, Hard­

There is no medicine extant equal to these reme­dies in such cases. A tone and vigor Is imparted to the whole syBtem, the appetite 1B strengthened, food Is enjoyed, the stomach digests properly, the blood Is purified, the complexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated from the eyesj a bloom is given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous invuid becomes a atrong and healthy being.

I t was on a mild April day, in the spring of 18G4, that, wish two friends, Ballard and French, I visited the sum­mit of a small mouutam one jnilc north of the village of Saratoga Springs and called by the inhabitants "Mount Vista." To any one who visits the spot, the appropriateness of the name is apparent. The village of Saratoga lies in the center of a vast plain stretch­ing out on either side for many miles. On the north, however, a series of broken ridges or spurs of the Kayad-erosseras range come down to within the village limits where they lose them­selves in the plain. This little moun­tain chain is, even at the present time, as primeval as when the bear and the wolf roamed its dark and tangled thickets of pine and hemlock. That such "wildness should exist within al­most a stone's throw of a noted fash­ionable watering-place can only be ex­plained by the fact that a tramp over these hills would be incompatible with that dolce far niente which every one

l is supposed to court in a town like t o m e r Of t o n g r e S S St . fi^.R. R . , j Saratoga. At tbe Whi te Mountains, on

the contrary, climbing is the fashion/ and delicate women, who a week be-fore,at the Springs, could scarcely walk from their hotel to the village church, now nimbly climb the steeps of Mount Washington. The highest of this range of hills is Mount Vista ; and the dead level which it overlooks renders the view from its top even more extensive than from an elevation three or fonr times its altitude. The eye, wander­ing over miles of cultivated fields and fertile meadows, finally rests upon the many little •villages nestling within the folds of the Green Mountains; or, turning southward, takes in the beau-i tiful Catskills with the Hudson wash­ing their feet.

Our party, having accomplished the mission on which it came—namely to p l n V / n p " H t l i o « i m i t n i t o f M o u n t v i s t a

tlicXlars and stripes in commemoration of Lpe's surrender—returned down the mountain by a route apparently never before trodden by man. When near­ly at the bottom of the descent, Bal­lard's foot slipped, and to rescue him­self he caught at a shelf or cleft in the

rock. Finding hlk hand rest on some sm.ooth substance, he made an exam­ination which resulted in the discovery of a human skeleton lying upon its face. Further investigation, moreover, showed that it had belonged to a man rather under the medium height, and also that the bones, though very much decayed, were, even to the smallest ones of the feet, in their place, excejrt the little finger of the right hand, which was missing. The closest scru­tiny, however, failed to reveal any ar­ticle around or in the vicinity of the skeleton ex'cept a flat tin pocket book (containing a finely written manu­script) and the worm-caterf cover of a book, on which could yet be made out the word "Shelley." These arti­cles lay underneath ths ribs, having evidently been contained in the breast pocket of the deceased. That the bones were not more decomposed nor dis­placed was undoubtedly owing to the fact of {heir having been protected both on the sides and top by lime stone rock, the effect of which was to shed the rains and snows like a slate roof. W e carefully gathered up the re­mains from their natural sarcophagus, and, before starting for the village, cast a sad and lingering look at the spot. I t is a sweet wild haunt. The sunshine falls there with a softened radiance; and a brook, near by, mur­murs plaintively as if mourning for the dead.

As soon as our discovery was known in the village, there was noi i t t le curi­osity excited ; but as there was no one whom any person remembered to have mysteriously disappeared ; and as the" Sands is the best friend h« doctors said that the bones must have 1*7*** now talking over th lain where they were found for at least thirty years, interest in the sub­ject soon died out.

Now, if I were writing for effect, tho orthodox manner of presenting the manuscript found in the tin case would be something after this fashion —"That same evening Ballard, French and myself having drawn our chairs nearer the fire, replenished our glasses, and lighted fresh Hayanas, French unfolded the manuscript and read as follows :" This statement, however, would be simply untrue. When the manuscript was alluded t» the follow­ing morning, an hour before I was to take the train for New York, French declared he "did not care tuppence to read what was doubtless the lucubra­tions of some love-sick swam,"—though thive years afterward, by the way, he was attacked with the same disease in a very malignant form. Ballard, also a matter of fact chap, said lie could read it at anytime, and that I had bet­ter take it and amuse myself with it on my way to the city. Accordingly, as soon as the cars were in motion, I glanced at the MS. a t first, i confess, rather listlessly. My attention, howev­er, very soon became deeply absorbed; nor was it withdrawn until the lights of the city announced the end of my journeyv- I had expected to find either a few in digested thoughts, or a sketch of an ordinary life. On the contrary, I found the writer to have been a per­son of linusual observation, and one, moreover, who possessed the faculty of putting the results of that obser­vation on paper in a remarkably clear and natural manner. The J/N. chief­ly consists of the writer's experiences at a number of entertainments given at Saratoga to some of our distin­guished Americans in the summer of 1828. Nor can the glimpses, here pre­sented, of cultivated American Society

cent and genial intercourse, fail terest the present generation. The many anecdotes, also, given by the writer of Joseph Bonaparte, La-Fayette, Sands, Fulton, Jackson and others, arc so new if, indeed, they are not entirely unknown, that no apology is needed for giving copious extracts from tbe diary.

Throughout the MS. it is rare that t i t insanity, which finally led the writer to take his life, is noticeable.— He was evidently a delicately nurtured youth, who had pored over Shelley un­til his mind had become imbued with the erratic though exquisitely beauti­ful conceptions of that poet ; and like Alastor, he had been leading a wan­dering life for sbme time previous to his arrival at the Springs. The Diary begins with the day of his arrival at Saratoga. If he had kept any notes previously, he must have destroyed them.

THE DIARY.

Saratoga Springs, Aug. 1st, 1828.

Arrived this morning in the Albany stage-coacb.

In the evening, attended a little gathering given by Mrs. Dr. Clark to bring ou t i^ r . Nicholas Hill—a young lawyer oh a visit here, who Chancellor Kent and other jurists think will make a brilliant member of the bar. Mr. Clark, together with Mr. Walton, is the patroon of tho village, having spared neither pains nor expense to develop its mineral springs. The party, on the whole, passed off agreeably, though marred by one or two absurdities.— Miss B , a reigning belle at the Congress, seemed to think she could best please by boring those near her with silly conundrums. One of these was, " W h y ought one to rides-easily at Saratoga ?" " Because it's full of springs." As she is very beautiful, and a belle, every one laughed and ap­peared to think it a good joke, which it might have been, perhaps, had it not been gotten off for the nine-hun-dred'th time this season. During the evening, also, Jkjr. Hill—who, by the way, expects to make this village his home — asked this same lady, if he should read to her in " T h e Deserted Vi l l age" in the morning ? " Oh, no," she replied, " that 's seven miles off, and the road is dusty. Let 's go and sit among the ropks at the High Rock Spring, where that naughty Sir William Johnson used tio brinej his Indian wives. It 's so romantic!"— Still, all the conversation wias not of a like vapid nature. There Were many-sensible people present, the conversa­tion of whom was highly entertaining. Rev. Mr. Griswold, the Presbyterian minister,'was present, looking for all the world like Goldsmith's " Village Pastor,"—" a man, to all the country dear, and passing rich with forty pounds a year." And yet, on this small income, he manages to educate a younger brother living somewhere in Connecticut.

Joseph Bonaparte, who is at present the guest of Mr. Walton, did not ar­rive until quite late. He was accom­panied by his sister, Caroline Murat, and two j 'oung ladies, his daughters. Though a crowned king he looks very much like other mortals. Their man­ners, dress and equipage are wholly unassuming, quiet and unpretentious. The rank is there and needs no demon­strations. The delay in coming to the party was occasioned by a little incident which occurred while he was a t dinner to-day with Mr, Walton". I t is certainly singular. I t seems that in the course of the dinner Bonaparte suddenly turned deathly pale, and with the perspiration standing in great beads on his forehead turned implor­ingly to Mr. Wal toa and gasped— "tmchat! unchatl" " John," said Mr. Walton to his waiter, " take away tbe c a t ; it disturbs the gentleman. ' " Cat, sir !" replied the waiter, " I can find no cat." The other members of the family now joined in the search ; and at last, under the massive side­board, crouched in one corner, was a poor, little, frightened kitten. But it was not until Bonaparte had lain down for some hours that he fully recovered from the nervous prostration into which he had been thrown. I have heard of such instances before, but have always attributed them to ex­treme nervousness or affectation. No one, however, can look at Bonaparte and justly accuse him of either.

Mr, Bryant and Mr. Sands were, also, among the guests. From a con­versation, I overheard, dAing the evening, I was more than ever led to exclaim, deliver me from my friends. Messrs. Bryant and Sands, who are very intimate, were sitting together on a lounge in a corner ot one of the drawing-rooms. A gentleman stand­ing behind me directed the attention of a friend to the two poets, and said, " T h e r e ! Mr. Bryant believes that

he has, and eir Atlan­

tic "Club Book, which they are to edit together. And yet, that satirical ar­ticle which appeared in the Commer­cial Advertiser last week, against Bry­ant, and which caused the latter to at­tack its editor in Broadway with a horsewhip, was written by Sands him­self, and no other ! Still, Sands is a kind-hearted creature, who steps out of the way for a worm, but, like many others, he could not resist the oppor­tunity of letting fly a shaft at his friend; while, at the same time, he lacks the moral courage to avow the authorship. This he should do in jus­tice to all parties. By tho way, how close is the resemblance between the poet Shelley and Sands. True, the formal- had light hair, and the latter has dark ; but, with this difference, the likeness is striking."

AUG. 2d, 1828. Yesterday evening attended a bril­

liant party given in compliment to Joseph Bonaparte * by Mr. Walton.— Mr. Walton js the son of an English gentleman, and is a person of lib­eral culture and fine taste. His wife is a daughter of old Nicholas Cruger, of New York. The entertain­ment was sufficiently rich and various and served in excellent taste. There was much beauty aanong the ladies, and the circle of gentlemen embraced considerable learning and intellect.— Among other literary gentlemen pres­ent were Theodore S. Fay, Paulding, Irving, Leggett and Ycrplanck.

1 was strongly reminded yesterday of an incident" that occurred in these very drawing rooms three years ago to a day. Mr. Walton had given a party to General LaFayette who was then, as the guest of the nation, making his memorable tour of the United SlaU-s. Mrs. Dr. Rush was present; also Mrs. Harrison Cray Otis, and Madame Jumel the wife or mistress of

his widow, it was finally thow^hfc best to waive all scruples and receive her as a guest. LaFayette was unusually animated and gave an account of his call upon Red Jacket, the week previ­ous, in Buffalo. In the course of his visit, Ro4 Jacket inquired of the Gen­eral whether he remembered being at tlie treaty of peace with the Six Na­tions, at Fort Sta*nwix, in 1784. LaFay­ette answered that he had not forgot­ten that great council, and asked his interrogator if he knew what had be­come of the young chief who, on that occasion, opposed with so much elo­quence " the burying of the toma­h a w k " "He is before you" was the instant reply. " In fact," added La­Fayette, " this extraordinary man, al­though much worn down by time and intemperance, preserves yetu in a sur­prising degree, the exercisVof all his faculties."

By this time the company were about to separate, when LaFayette, shaking hands cordially with Colonel Stone and Mr. Weed—both of whom had accompanied hira on hi* trip through the state—asked if he could be of service to them in return for their kindness and attention. "All Mr. Weed and myself desire," replied Col. Stone, "is a lock of your hair." "You shajl have it gentlemen," replied the General; but as I have made a vow that man shall never cut my hair more, I surrender myself, ray dear Madame (at the same time taking the scissors

.from Mr. Weed and gracefully tender­ing them to Mrs. Rush) Into your handB," He then raised his wig ; and Mrs. Rush, cutting off three locks of theifthowy white hair, kept one her­self, and handed the others to Mr. Stone and Mr. Weed. Those who wit­nessed this scene will never forget it.

Whiled away an hour or two this morning in listening to a trial before the village justice, the details ©f which would haA^been amusing had they not beerf^i the highest degree dis­graceful. I t seems that last night two boon companions of John Van Buren, (son of the " Great Magician,") in a drunken spree, smashed in the win­dows of the north wing of the Con­gress, and pitched a negro waiter over the banisters. Fo r this they were brought up on a warrant for assault and battery. Their 4efence was con­ducted nominally by Van Buren, but in reality by one of his friends, who chanced to be in town, by the name of Seward, or " BUI," as he was famil-iaily called by his colleague. This Seward is a young man fresh from Union College, an ungainly, awkward chap, with a big nose, already made larger by a habit of taking snuff.— During his speech he was continually hitching up his breeches, or pulling up his collar, as if at a loss what to do with his long arms and hands. Not­withstanding these defects, however, he really managed the case with much ingenuity, and contrived to clear his clients, who, after tbe suit, settled with the waiter, thereby tacitly confessing their guilt. The justice, however, Mr. Ransom Cook, while he felt compelled by the evidence to discharge the cul­prits, nevertheless administered a se­vere yet wholesome reproof. Van Buren, who is only eighteen, was with the party when tne assault was com­mitted, and in the minds of the com­munity is considered the principal in the whole affair. But be this as it may, the very fact of his being mixed up in the matter must sorely t r y the heart of his father who, though a tricky and thoroughly unreliable poli­tician, is, personally, a high-toned and honorable gentleman.

^ AUG. 4th, 1828. Am feeling quite tired this evening,

having to-day, in company with Rev. Francis Wayland—a young divine of much promise and a son of the beloved Baptist pastor of this village—driven over to the lake, and taken a row to Snake Hill. This elevation is so named from a visitor to this place in 1810 having died from the Site of a rattle­snake which attacked him while climb­ing the hill for the purpose of viewing a sunrise. I was fully compensated, however, for the ride by catching a very fine mess of trout, several of which (taken off the mouth of the Kayade-rosseras) weighed three and four pounds each.

On my return through "Bear Swamp" stopped in at an old codger's • y the name of Crabb. He professes to be an astrologer; and when I went in he was engaged in casting theiior-oscope of an old cr&ne by the name of Augeline Tubbs. He had drawn the points of the zodiac on the floor; and as be stood in the center of the charmed circle holding a skull in one hand and a witch hazel rod in the oth­er—surrounded by sulphurous flames from the vases placed on the outer rim—he looked, m very truth, like the famous Dr. Dee, the magician and al­chemist of Louis XrV". There is cer-tainlydioweversomething exceedingly mysterious about this man. T*$o of MB wives have within a few years past died under very suspicious circumstan­ces, whether killed by his spills or by more material means couldnot be as­certained, though at the post mortem upon his last one, the jury, of which a Mr. Wal ter J . Hendrick was foreman, thought they discovered arsenic in the stomach. The mystery, however, hanging over bim is not more than over his companion Angelihe, who was a camp follower of the arfny of Bur-goyne and twenty years old at the time of that General's surrender. She looks very much as if the story that Dr. Steele tells may be true, v iz ; that she was once hung but the cord broke, not however until the horrible contor­tions incident to the death struggle had become forever fixed. a The problem which they were en­deavoring to solve by their diabolical arts when I came in, was to work some spell which should prolong the life of the old witch, who, meanwhile, was on her knees engaged in the vivi­sect ion of a frog. When we entered he had interpreted tbe peculiar quiver­ing of the frog's hind leg to mean that as long as she could preserve the life in one of her cats, so long would she live. The same spirit, he argued, ani­mated them both.* He was go­ing on with some more of his jargon when our abrupt entrance broke for the time the incantation, to the great disgust of both. In fact, their eyes glared at us in such a horrible manner that wc were fain to beat a retreat and leave them to their frogs and divining rods.

lake," by courtesy, though it lacks only in size the beauty of Lake Saratoga. Sunk as deep Into the earth as the firs shoot above it, it is surrounded by a wilderness of straight, columnar pine shafts, which branch out at the top like round tables spread for a banquet in the clouds.— The old man sat undpr his Dutch stoup smoking his pipe, and suffered us to tie our ponies to his fence with­out st irr ing; and, in answer to our in­quiries if there was a boat on the lake, simply nodded an assent, and pointed to the water's edge. Whether this indifference to strangers is innocence merely, or whether Herr Barhydt does not choose to be considered an inn­keeper, no one is enough in his secrete to divine. He will give you a dram, or cook you a dinner of trout, and seems indifferent whether or what

f ou pay him. In his way HeiT Bar-ydt ia kind and courteous. W e descended to the lake, and after

rowing about, we returned to partake of the ola Dutchman's hospitality, and have a little conversation with him.— Among other things, we asked him if he was aware that he had been put in­to a book. ' " I've beam tell on't," «»id h e ; " a Mr. Wilkins or Watkins has writ something about me, but I don't know why. I never did him no harm at I fcnotc on,"

Auo, 5th, 1828. Last evening attended a farewell re­

ception given oy Judge Co wen (a res­ident of tbe place) to Mr. Cooper, who sails in a few days for Europe to be gone some years. He expects when abroad to make his home in Florence To Mr. Cooper the loss of his property has probably been of more real advan­tage, than the money ten times over would have been. I t has called forth the slumbering energies of his mind, and given vigor and richness to his imagination, by the exertion of which he has acquired a proud same among the distinguished writers of the age, and addea to the literary Imputation of his country.

I returned, however, from JudgeOow-en's with my estimates of two of my favorite heroes considerably l owere i Can it indeed be true that many char­acters iu our own history whom we have hitherto considered almost god­like, are after ail frail mortals like our­selves ? Yet so it appears; and one by one, those whom we have been accus­tomed to venerate, are knocked from the pedestal, on which our fancy has set them. This time it u General Put­nam and Robert Fulton.

The manner in which the subject came up was as follows : Some one present alluded to the picture of Put­nam and the wolf which swings as a sign, in front of the Union H a l l A young man from Connecticut thereup­on remarked that the adventure had been greatly exaggerated, as the "den,*1

which he had visited, was not more than three feet in depth. "And I guess," here spoke up General Morgan Lewis, (an aged Revolutionary soldier, but whose mind is clear i s a bell) "that his military reputation is equally exaggerated; but I beg pardon"— "not on my aooount," said Mr. Putnam, the proprietor of the Union,! "ou r fam­ily are not nearly as deep in relation-11

ship with "old P u t " as h k "den," which, according to this gentleman's story, is not extraordinary." "As I wassaying," resumed General Lewis, "not to speak of the suspicions of trea­son which, in the minds of bis brother officers,rest upon. Putnam on aooount of his conduct a t Bunker HH1* Long Island and Peekskill, he seem* to be distinguished chiefly for retreating.— Indeed, if you will think a moment you will aee that all "old P u t ' s " fjreat exploits, which have rendered him so famous, are of this character. His flight on horseback down the steep rocks near Norwalk, his escape down the rapids of For t Miller in a crazy canoe, and his retreat from the In­dians at Lake George, are the principal feats on which his reputation rests.— Yet he is in a fair way to descend to posterity as one of the bravest of American Generals."

A t thispoiflt, the Rev. Mr. Potter, a young Episcopal divine who is mar­ried to a daughter of the late Robert R. Livingston, and is consequently a nephew by marriage of General Lewis, joined ia the conversation. " I am not surprised, General, a t your remarks in regard to Putnam, my own observa­tion leading me to believe that many descend into history as successful claimants for public honors, who, if the facts were known, would stand iu a very different light. Probably no person has received so much praise and deserved it so little as Robert Fulton. A man of no practical ingenuity—of no power of conceiving, much less of executing an original mechanical idea —his friend Golden has succeeded in persuading the public that to him alone is due the successful navigation of our rivera by steam. The facta, however, as 1 gathered them from my father-in-law, and which I believe to be sub­stantially correct, are as follows. For thirteen years before the first steam­boat was placed upon the Collect ia New York, John Fitch had run a lit­tle steamboat on the Delaware with t r e a t success, During that period he

ad experimented with various kinds of propelling power, the screw, the side wheel and sweepers or long oars. The most primitive thing about his vessel was the boiler, which consisted 6imply of two potash kettles riveted together. Livingston, who wasgreat-ly interested in the success of Fitch's experiments, seized the opportunity when Minister to France, to visit the workshops of W a t t & Bolton, in Eng­land, where, for the first time, he saw , a properly constructed steam-boiler.— I ?J, c *f l^', But how was he to introduce i t i n t o ' 1

the United States unless (which was then impossible) he went himself? A t this juncture he thought of Robert Fulton, who originally an artist in Philadelphia, was then exhibiting a

Ipanorama in Paris. His panorama, lowever, failing to pay, was attached,

and he himself arrested for debt and thrown into prison. Livingston, fall­ing into the error so common tomany, ofbelieving that because an artist can draw cleverly, he must necessarily sue

entirely shake off, acting a t a kind of general superintendent ' "Extraor­dinary as your statement is sir,*' here remarked Mr. Ransom Cook **all tha t you have stated, agrees perfectly with what I heard a few weeks since in New York. J was then completinw a new invention, gett ing «p models, Sc, and pmofig mv workmen were two who'jwere employed by Livingston & Fulton while they were perfecting their steamboat They surprised me greatly by stating that Fulton was a capital draughtsmen, and that was a l l ; and that so deficient was be in a knowledge of the laws of mechanics that it WM a long time •before Living­ston could convince bim that the "starting-bar" of an engine should be made larger at the fulcrum-end than at the handle." "That correspondi per­fectly " rejoined Mr. Pot ter "with what I have always heard; It h my intention," he concluded, " to write out an accour* of this transaction in fuU."

A w . M*, 1828. I have just witnessed a moat re­

markable scene which occurred t h k evening at Judge Walworth's . Ger f eral Jackson, who arrived in the vil­lage yetterday, was the prominent gaeat of the occasion, though among those preaeot were Chancellor Kent, William Jay, Ambroee Speacer and Ex-President John Quincy Adams.— As these different personages formed themaelves into groups of two and three and entered into eon vernation, it was worth an ordinary lifetime quietly to stand by aad listen. A. conversa­tion which took place between Chief Justice Speneer, William J a y and John Quincy Adams, I shall never forge t "Has it not occurred to you, gentlemen," said Mr. Spenoer, " that m all probabflity we shall have, four yerfrs hence, a warm content for the presidency, and that the battle is to t>e between the davt and tht noti-dmve-holding date* / " "The present aspect of the next presidential election," re­joined Mr. Adams, "differs little from that which I had exjpected. I sincerely share, my dear sir, in your anxiety for-the free institutions and the union of our country. But the welfare of the people is in their own hands. There seems to meto be, after all, but one very imminent danger impending over u s ; and that is the conflict between slave labor and free labor. The roUennest,at the heart of our Union is slavery." "I do not, however," here interrupted Mr. Jay , "entertain a hope of present, or a doubt of final success. W e shall be de-feated^frequeutly defeated—bat every conflict win add to our strength and weaken our opponents The slave­holders dread discussion—it k our part to court it. The^attentiee of the public should be unremittingly di­rected to this subject The dictates of religion, the principles of our gov­ernment, the spirit of the age, and the safety of the Republic, all unite in the support of our cause, and afford a sure pledge of a final and glorious triumph. The aid—" At this point the entire company were startled by a tremen­dous noise a t the whwt-table, where sat Jackson and Walworth as part­ners. I t would seem as if the con­versation there, ako, had taken ••po­litical t u r n ; for Jackson, suddenly jumping np and staking the table with his fist till the cards danced again, ex­claimed— " By G-d, Walworth, Ido mean it. Jf Calhoun dares carry out his accession views when I 'm Presi­dent, I'll hang him, by the Eternal! He must not—* A t this junc­ture, Chancellor Kent came up and succeeded in pacifying the General, who again sat down. Judge Wal­worth also resumed his seat, saying, " Our views agree perfectly, General, perfectly! Wha t ' s trumps?**' This con­duct toward Judge Walworth ia his own bouse, ia certainly most extraor­dinary, though it fully justifies the V generally received character of the General. Still, it must be admitted, that under that rough frame there beats a heart fuller of patriotism than that of many who poeseaae a more polished exterior. I t is sincerely to be hoped, however, that the emergency which our greatest statesmen look for­ward to with so much alarm wiH nev­er happen. Should their fears be jus­tified by future events, the© leave Washington and the toundenTof the Republic lived in vain.

AUG. 9th, midnight, 1828. This is the last record I shall make

in this diary. W h y I «honld have . written a t all I cannot say, unless it has bees to relieve my mind from dwelling on itself. I found to-day, in one of my rambles, jus t the place where I can hvy this wearied body, and rest I t is a lovely spot, a few rods north ot t h k village,"aad y e t » wild as if miles from the haunts of men. It is a natu­ral sarcophagus; and never did Cheops contemplate hi* own sarcopha­gus in the bowels of the Great Pyra­mid with more satisfaction than I "this one formed by nature. l i k e Alastor I have drank "deep of the founui i^ of knowledge ; and l ike him I ha\ e been blasted « y disappointment. But as Osborne quaintly and beautimlly ex­presses i t : " H e that lieth under the herse of! heavenne k convertible into sweet herbes and flowers, that maye rest in bjosoms that wolde shrink from the ugly bugs, which maye be found crawling in the magnificent tombs of H e a r y ^ e VDL" J- u. »."

Bud ofthe Diary.

On my return to tbe city, the manu­script, in the hurry of business, soon passed from my mind, until a few weeks sinee, when it was recalled in a very striking manner. I was at the Society Library bunting up an histori­cal fact, in a file of tbe A*. Y. Courier and Enquirer for 1828, when my eye suddenly alighted upon the following paragraph:

" Ij i fFOKMATioK W A S T E R

S»id Brealin is rather under tbe usual height, k thirty years of age, has light complexion, and sandy hair. Has lost the little finger of the right hand by an accident in his childhood. When last seen he was on the New York boat for Albany, though a per­son answering to his appearance was observed two weeks since purchasing a ticket in Albany at the stage office ; but whether for "the West or North cannot be ascertained. Please address C. "ML Breslin, New Bedford, M^sa."

I immediately wrote to my friend Ballard at Saratoga, enclosing a copy
