Mr. Eluiakkr.—rThe recent noniinn-
tion of tliis j^tlpinan to tlie Vice-l'resi-
denry lias created a desire in tlic jKiblic
mind to leani aoinethiiig of his clwracter,
which, from his rt^tirinjr habits, is but little
known beyond the bounds of hi? nuti ve SiRlc.
W’e therefore insert the following very fa
vorable notice of M r. E. from the V illagc
Kecord of Sept. :
Awos Emmaker, Esq. Attorney Gene
ral of the Commonwealth, is one of those
men, certainly extraordinary in this age,
who unites the highest qualitlcations for
public life, with the least political ambition.
When a student, Mr. Ellinaker was not
ed for uncommon devotion to his books.—
Pleasure couid uut allure him to idleness.
Idlcn'ss to him had uo pleasure. But tho’
Biicon and Blackstone-^'oke and Chitty,
and other luminaries of the law, might oc
cupy the time usually devoted by students
to the attainnicfit of their profession, the
hours appropriated by other young men to
relaxtion anil amusement were by him oc-
cupicd in literary and scientific studies.—
Natural and moral philo«)phy were those
in which he most delighted, t'lassical lit
erature came in as a relief to severer rea*l-
ing. On bein^ admitted to tiio bar, the
profession ftiuntl in him a st'und, well-reaii
lawyer, of rare endowments, and unusual
hteraryattuinuients. U’ith'iutswking prac
tice, practice flowed in u[>on him. VVith-
oi.t soliciting otfic-'s, offices high and honor
able have constantly solicited his accep-
taiicc.^ The duties of the ptiblic stations
he has filled have been perfbniied to uni
versal s;itisfacti»n. 'I'o say that his princi-
j.losare S'Uim!, ami liis integrity pure, is to
pay l.ut the ordinary conipliineut due to
public men in our tState; but the urbanity
ot maimers and delicucy of feeling which
distingui'h Mr. Ellinaker, ad«i new lustre
to the ^torll virtues which aduni his charac
ter. SiuJious of retirt'ment, fond of litcra-
rv and philosophical ease, he never courts
tlie angry debute, or voluntarily throws hiai-
self into tlie political arena; but a thoroujjh
Repihlican, nn ardent tVieiid to liberty aud
the rights of man, private inclination would
not stand a iiHniicnt in the way of public
duty, when the sfeneral welfare should, in
his judgment, call fur active personal exer
tions. Distiii:.ui»lied already, it will prob
ably bo his lot t* act a yel more conspicu
ous part in [-ublic a'Hiirs. We know that
gool m'n, intiinuti'ly acquainted with him,
l(wk to Mr. Eiliiiaker as amon^ the citiZf-ns
of highest promise in the State. At tlie re
peater! wilicitafions of Governor Sliulzc*, he
arc pt* d t*ie present appointiiMiiit. A pat
tern of public and priv.ile virtue, he sets an
example to young men, worthy of their
etrirtf st attention. More might have been
8uid with truth. I could not S.IV less. X«ith-
ing would be mure une'tpecteii to him tliaii
this notice. Simuld it meut his e\e, the
writer cravr*- Ins iiidulgfnce. ilis ju>iih-
cation is, tliat 'hibiic men belong to the public.

At home, I had seen but few from the
‘ nitiwn of .New-Eni:land,’ except of that
in’.2i-atoryrlass,wh')annuallydis[)erse them
selves over the whole of inir Southern coun
try, and nearly all of these are acting as
pi'ioeers for the young idea, or as ths ‘ gal
lant and g')d!y,’ or else lielonging to the
nuineroui itinerary venders of ‘notions,’
who are c'.tislai^tly roving ab"ut every
swamp, iiighland, and iin'uiitain, in our cot
ton growing region; ami as on^* of tlieir own
Pf)ets has sunj, ‘ making by hook or crook
a decrnt living’—while we have been ac
cused by tins Panie I'oet, as looking U[Xin
this last class of his countrvmen, with no
more favoniSle ejes t)ian ‘ Gabriel did on
thod—I in I’aiadise’; and fiitli 1 believe he
. has ‘ guess'd’ hiilf ri;;fit. J!ut in our larger
towns we oft'^n fin) many imti\es of ihe
North''rri Sfates, who have leci.me j>erma-
Jient citiz ns; and take these collectiv'-ly,
but few can b-- f uiid their 8ii{>erifirs, in all
that coii'-tilutes the virturjus ai.d (»ubiic-spir-
it d citizcn. But we w ho spend the grea
ter pait, or all of our time m the country,
are tiyj apt to of tJic character ofu
v/tiolc people, by the few we occasionally
Kee pr-rambulatiiig our own retired pnrt-* of
it. Yet to me it has ev*-r been a siiUject of
great surpnz.; that these ‘ guessing, thrilty
j-eople’ should g neraliy send us the poor
est s|)Ocim-ns >f th' ir tnie charucteiistics;
and it s«:«ins to make much against their
well known burraioing capaciti»*M; yet still
the fact is so, and ‘ pojr Paul Pry’ can onl\
account for this way vard humor of theirs,
jn t!ie same way as it is said a certain pro-
f“":3or of Dunceoloify was w*xit to do, when
puzzled, as he frequently wns, for an answer
to some posing question, often made in mere
nn-tchief by his [*upils, ‘ that it wa« one of
those inexplirahle anomalies in the (Kcuiiar
construction of man’s organic pori.s;pptioi)s
that even baffled his own absfru.ii; enquirit s.’
If'‘re I was fortunat«-ly destined to se-
the Yanke«* at home, to view him in his nn-
t.irtl a:id true situation; in a wf»rd, to s»‘e
liim as he triilv is, hurrounded by all that
caneh'vate man in luental ucquirements, in
U' fuliVsM, in virtue, and consfjqufiitly m
hap;iin' «j*—her** 1 have partaken of his Imh-
p'tali»y, around his own cheerful and peace-
lul hreside, accoin{»ained by a siiriplicity of
courteousnesffl that would not shame * Old
Virginia’ in her prmulcst days of ‘ Lang
Syne.’ And here 1 have not heard a word
that reflected upon niy own dear South—it
ap[icursas if they, kimmg ^\hom 1 have the
f)leasure to mingle, studiously avoid any
thing of a sectional tendency; tlie few re
marks that are made respecting our portion
of the L’uion, jwrtiike of such a liberal cast,
that the most tenacioiis among us could tind
no cause to cavil at. A convincing printf
that the citizens of our widely extended
country only require more inliinacy with
each other, with quicker facilities for com
munication, ill order to strengthen their
bonds of Union and love, by viewing each
other at home, the only place where man
apiiears as he truly is; they then will be
enabled to form just conceptions of each
others peculiar customs, and of the corn'ct-
ness of them. I have found many here who
are as anxious for a nioditication ol the 'I'a-
rilF, as the w armest of our op(>osers to it—
the public throughout the wliole country is
Ijeginning to b«“ awukencd to its ini|)olicy,a»
well as its injustice; none can deny but we
uiust have one, but let it Ik; l)uaed upon the
immutable foundations of equity and impar*
tiality. Much good is expected to result
Irom the deliberations of the Convention
which is to assemble in Philadelphia in
St'ptember next; aiid from the gieat mass of
striking facts that will there be exhibited,
and no doubt eloquently debated upon, an
influence favorable to free trade will ema
nate, of such a character as must arrest the
most serious attention if the ensuing C^ou-
g^^^^s—and I truly hojie our State will not
act too prematun'ly, even in attempting to
relieve us from what is hanging over it like
an incubus, weighing down our prosperity,
and causing such an unnatural and dread
ful excitement.
The nioie we associate with our fellow-
citizf*ns, from the vari(ius parts ot'our coun
try, the more we involuntarily leani to es
teem and respect tiieni, as belonging to the
same government, speaking tlie same lan
guage, f)Ossesing similar views, with our
kindliest feelings interwo^-en by ties of af
finity, and by the recollections that our fath
ers parlicipatetl in the same common dan
gers to secuie to us the s;inie commou ad
vantages ; as this intercourse and commun
ion with each other will relieve us of most
of those natural and local prejudices inse
parable to all men, whose travels or obser
vations have in a manner been limited 11
thoir own visible honz >n; for I have never
yet met with a Southerner who has passed
any time at the .North, but what has formed
favorable opinions, and Vire TVr.w.
Esfrnordinary ajiplirntion cf Humiin
Fat.—In the year H13, h discovery was
made in the Schools of methcine in I’ans,
which strongly excited the attention tif the
Pruft ss irs. 'I'he servants of one of the a-
nitomical theatres were infonii'd against
tor trathckiiii; in human lat. 'I’hey were
watched by the police and detected in the
iiict. A communication was made to the
mini.-ifer of Police, and at his desire a Medi
cal report on the subject was drawn up, in
which the principle was laid down that this
liit might propagate diseases. .\ judicial
inquiry also took f>lace, in which it was
proved that there existed among the ser
vants of the fiicuity of medicine, and of the
private theatres, a kind of aasociation fjr
the purpose of trading in the fat of the sub
jects dissected, and the iat was also used to
grease the wheels of the wagons; that sever
al quacks [purchased it as a remedy in vari
ous diseases; and it was used in enornK>us
quantities by the enaiiiellers and false gem
inakerx, who bought it under the name
of dog’s or horse’s I'at.
FiTnnJe Protce-fS.—Whilst Mr. Perrv,
who keeps the Hotel at Spot Pomi, was out
with his b*jiit on the I.ake, la.'^t 'i'hursday,
a bla k eawle was observpti by his wif*,
hovering in tiie air ; he |»refently descended
and ahtbled upon a tr**»;, about three him-
ired nxJs distant frfuii the house; Mrs.
IVrry loaded her liu«band’s gun, an old
lashioiied heavy “ king’sarm,”and proceed

IxTiite aim, and shot at him. The eagle

Sr.N'GfLAU OrrtKKK-vrr..—We have late
ly heard an account of a transaetion w hich
haj>j)ened a lew days since near Caswell C.
M. which is without precedent. Mrs. I’ris-
eilla lloof)er, the wife of Wo^xlley llwij)cr
of (,'aswell County, in a fit of mental de-
ratic;ement, cut out part of her tongue with
a laz ir. 4»lie assigned as a reason for this
unnatural act, that her tongue had been n
great deal of trouble to her, and she was
determined that it should trouble her no
longer. She is in a fiiir way of recovery.

LATfcST FROM LUkOl’E^
The packet ship Nap«)leon, arrived at
New-\ork t'rom I..iverpK)l, brings Londtm
papers to the a3d and Liverpool to tho 5i4th
August, both inclusive.
'I'he news by this arrival is highly im|)or-
tant, as pmviiigthat tlio j/allant Poles have
not only iioblv delended themselves against
their oppressors, Imt are in high spirits on
the eve of what is considered a great and
tinal struggle ti>r their freedom. What is
still more importimt, there is reason to be
lieve that by tlieir gallantry and persever
ance, they have at length compt lled the
powers of Europe to interfere in their be
half. The Loudon Sim of the evening of
the ‘24th says: “ The (Courier Fraiicius men
tions, in a tonrofconfideiK e, that the great
powers have atjei;^th decided on recogniz
ing the inde|)*iKtenco of Poland.” God
giant it may kC trnc.
Accounts trc«n Warsaw, says the Herald,
have l)een recdived up to the l^th inst.—
They state that Russian General, Field
Marshal Count Paskevvitch, kept the grand
nriny at a cautious distance from the Polish
cafHtal, (fully 5() mdes,) and as cautiously
Hvoide»l coming to an engagement. It was
thought that his plan was to cut ot)' the sup
plies from Warsaw. He was said to lie
ex|>ectiiig reinforceiiients of troops from the
Russiaii Asiatic provinces, and li*ars were
entertained of these troops bringing m their
train the plague, which had, it is stated,
some time ago broken out amougst them.
The greatest unanimity prevails in the Po
lish capital, and all feelings of party spirit
have given way to patriotism. The Polish
army, at the date of these accounts, was m
sight of the Kiissiaiis, and a great battle
was hourly ex|jected.
Djspatches had heen received at Warsaw
fiom Col. Koss, wild accompanied Gielguil
to Lithuania, and w ho w as detached towaros
Polangen. 'I'lic colonel continued to main
tain himself in the government of .Muhilew.
The number of armed insurgents there, and
in the vicinity of Witepsk, was estimatetl
at 1U,00() men, Gen. Tolstoi had broken
up from Wilna to march against them. The
re(K)rt that a jiart of (Jen. Huaiger’s cor|>s
had crossed tlie Vistula had not been con
firmed. Gen. Dembmski had been a|ipoin-
ted governor of Warsaw, and had alieady
begun to act in that character.

tifm of the Freilch Commander-in-Chief by
the Prince of Orange contrasts strongly
w ith that vshieh had reached us of the con-
duct tf the Duke of Saxe ^Veimar to L'ird

Fham e.—Tie Mmi.ster of War, Mar
shal Soult, dechred on Saturday week, that
the French troc .s an; not to leave Belgium,
but to keep conTenient positions to prevent
the returii of the Dutch. 'I’his declaration
trave universal satisfaction in France, and
though Contrary to the pledges of the gov
ernment, was r*«eiv>-d with applause. Since
then, however, tlie intoxicated French have
r tiirned to their sensfjs, anil 2(i,()lK» of their
trwijw are, it is sail, ordered to retire.—
'I'hat has b-en settled by the conference,
'i'he march of the tn»)pM, and the Deliates
of the Chamber of Deputies, have occupied
the attention of the I’arisians throughout
the wef k. Several amendments to the Al-
dreS'—cfHitrary to the .Mim,tei-s have Iteeii
proposed, l>ul they have all been rejected,
so that the address w ill b* carried by a con
siderable majority, and Cassimir Perrier
will, most proljably, remain in pf>wer. 'I’his
success seems to have embittered his antag-
oniat^. On Monday, a tumult took place
in the Chamber of De|Hjties to prevent him
from speaking; and cme of the Deputies,
M. .lousseHn, almost pullod him from the
'rrilMine. Suf^h violence has not been ex
hibited sinee ttie first Revolution. 'I’he
President was obliged to su6fend the sitting

to Hf;e that the proliability of change m the
Ministry is diminished, fijr thut would cer
tainly lead to war, which could b‘uefit no

The Dcucriptire.—In the recently pub
lished memoirs of Lord Bryon by his friend

finit silent, then talkv, then arguinentive,
tl.en disputatious, then unintelligible, then
altogethery, then inarticulate, tlien drunk.
I carried away much wine, and the wine
had previously carried away my memory i
so that all was hiccup nnd happincob for the
litst hour or £o.

AM l-'l ARIFF CO.WENTIO.N'.
Extract o: a letter, dated Philadelphia, Oct. 3,1’%I.
“ I arrived in the city only yesterdav
evening, and therefore can yive no d‘‘lai|s
of the proeecdings of the .Vnti-'rarifl'Ctin-
vention, of which y>u will not be informed
hy the city pa|iers of lo-niorrow morning.
I may, however, throw out some hints that
may indicate the probable views and cour»‘
of this highly intellectual, and extremely
inten-sting IxxJy. An ardent and earnest
sup|sirter of the 'Fardf System m)s*;lf, as
yiMi are aware, I have iievertheleKs regard-
el the assembling of this CouvTiitKMi as an
alFiir of deep moment, and favourable im
port, to the bt;st interests of the country.—
Hy bringing teigether the opfK)iients of the
'i'arifl, from all parts of the country, it will
have a tciidency to iiKMlil'y thf ultrn views ot'
the Siutli, by showing them the lillkulties
that exist even in agreeing among themselves
what moiiticatioiis they would pio|>o».»;, or
whether they would re|K-| the [»rotectiin
laws altogether. In die Congres.sional dis-
russioiis on this point, the opponents of the
'I'ardfwdl never believe they have a lair
chance, l>ecause they are iu a minority.—
Here they meet unanimously iqH>n the lead
ing principle, hut difli^ring so matrrially in
detail, one s» ctim complaining of what an
other approves, that it must hiiggest to men
of such enlarged and lilieral minds, as arc
the leading memliers of this convention, the
dilliculty, if not impossibility, of |s)inting
crtit the precise evils, and their conipl. te
remedies. 1 said they were unanimous
ufion the leading principles: on one, howe
ver, they are far from being so; the uncon-
.stitutionality of the Tariff. 'I'liere are
strong men here, who will not consent to
take that ground. 'I’hey have themsi;lves
voted for Tnrills, of at least in 1H1«, (some
later,) and will not pa.ssa censure on them
selves by now declaring their own nets un
constitutional ! 'I'his point, 1 feel cpiitecoti-
(idenf, will either not 'jO touchcd at nil, or
L■■ ■Lil.! ; BBfjM—
the constitutionality of a Tarifl’ uf duties^
for protection, will be conceded. It is un«
dcrstood that a preliiuinary somewhat of thia
complexion, has already boen adjusted in
the couiinittee of 20, (two from each state,
of whom Mr. Gallatin is Chairman,) ap|>oint
ed to re|K)rt the subjects upon which the
Convention oiight'to act.
'I'his (’omniittee have had a sitting, ia
which Mr. Gallaliu and other eminent men,
strenuously labored, that the republic should
rcccive no detriment. 'I'hey have as yet
only agreed U|>on an Address to the Auier*
ican People, and a Memorial to Congress.
Of the former Committee, Mr. Berrien of
(leorgia will be Chairman; and of the latter,
.Mr. Lee, of Massachusetts.
It is understood that these appeals are not
to assume or argwe the unconstitutionality
of the 'Fariir. Mr. Gallatin’s influence i»
great, and he is exerting it for tlie welfaro
ot'tlie country. Disunion will reccive uo
shade of counteoance. Your own delega
tion are prepared, to a man, to protest
gainst and abandon th« convention, if any
such measure is even wii.ked at. Nevr
Englmid, except some of the Masaucliusetta
members, (perhaps the most ultra of ths
whole boly,) will rally all her energies
on the same side. 'Ihe result theretijro
will be beneficial; and, so far from auticU
paling disunion, 1 should not be surprised
if resolutions passed urging the whole coun«
try to stand by the Union and the Consti.
tution, and to sacrifice all local jealou-sies
upon the altar of the common w eal.
'I'he Conventim will meet on .Monday at
12—w hen it is expe;ted the committees wiU
report. The mam point at which the menv
bers seem to be aiming is, a reduction of
duties on hemp, coarse wool and sugar. I
heard a gentleman from IxHiisiana, w ho is
