i GEN., SHIELDS. At the celebration
of St. Patricks , day ( 7th inst. by the
Hibernian Society of Charleston, we find
that the" following toast was drank :
By Capt. John Magee. Gen. Jame Shields:
A magnanimous people, Jand -a sovereign .State,,
wilt not crush a - gallant . soldier and a . faithful
citizen., because of a fiery word, trapped and
drawn by a wily opponent. '
r This shows the warm hcartedncss of the
Irishman. Although Gen. Shields, Paddy
like, had committed an indiscretion in his
correspondence with Mr Breese, yet it
wns not inexcusable, ,
i-r'rhe fact that Gen. Shields,' after having
written ami despatched the letter in a pas
sion, (a state of mind to which an Irishman
is as strongly addicted as a toper to the
glass) reflected upon it and repented of it,
and sent two friends to Mr Breese to ex
press his regret and withdraw the letter, and
Mr B's refusal togivcit up, shows a settled
and determined malice on the part of Mr
Breese, in no way creditable to his mag
nanimity.' And patticularly was this unbe
coming in Mr Breese if it be true that Gen.
Shields once protected him from murder
ous assault, as Gen. S. asserted in open
Senate.
Any man may commit an indiscretion,
but a cool entertainment of' malice is inexcusable.

A CONSPIRACY to defraud a

case got into the papers on the trial- Mor
gan . Hinchman was a man f property;
Sand. Richie and .Edward Richie took him
by force and carried him to the lunatic
asylum. A number of witnesses testified
that the man had always exhibited, so far
as they knew, a proper soundness of mind.
There appeared every probability, on the
trial, that the Richie's would be conviced
of a conspiracy against Hinchuian for his
property. :
What a ."theme is this for . the moralist!
How shocking the tlepravit ! How humb

A GREAT SPEECH.
. Our readers will recollect the notice that
was -made of the impassioned and eloquent
speech of Mr McDowell, of Virginia, in
the House of Representatives, on the Wil
aiot proviso , question . Since then, t5;e
speech has been published, and we give an
extract from it, whicli will be read with
pleasure by all classes of readers, the la
dies not "excepted. The beauty of the
lauiiuasre, .and the "orator's "manner of de-
livery, enchained his hearers: and from 1
- . . ' .. . i
tl-.e more susceptible, the tears flowed at
the patriotic and fervid appeals of the.
speaker, as wp.ter from pure fountains.
: - :-.-.- t (Extract.) .
But, Mr Chairman, when I pass by.the
collective parties in this case,, and recall
the particular ones; when I - see ; that my
owK-:late is as deeply, implicated in the
trouble and the danger of -, it as any other,
and shares, -to the full-with all her southern
colleagues, in the roost paintul apprehen
sions of its issuer when -I see this, . 1 turn
involuntar'dynd with unaffected deference
of spirit, and ask, what, " in this .exigent'
moatent to Virginia, will .Massachusetts, do
which,- in the designation ofour-early
colonial history, was known as Northern
Virginia?i ,W hat will " Northern Virginia
do, in the matter before us, for her south
ern naraesake; and sister? Will you too
(I speak to Mier as present in her
Representatives)---willyott, to jforett
mg all the past,- 1 put -forth a , hand to
smite lier igiiomihuu sly aiptmtbe cheek?
In your own early day of "deepest ex-?
tromitv ami distress -the;" day of the
to sweep your liberties away, Virginia,
caring for no odds, and counting no cost,
bravely, generously, instantly, stepped
forth for your deliverance., She made the
day on which this bill , was executed, the
1st ol June, I7r4, a day of humiliation,
fasting and prayer thus imploring, with
one voice, the protection and blessing of
Heaven upon you,-and thus, through a re
ligious act, the ultimate one of . national
distress, rousing up her people to the full
est and most startling sense of the outrage
and the peril which awaited you. She
called upon you to stand up for your cause;
that it was the true cause the cause of
right, and freedom, and justice; that, as
such, she made it her own. and would fight
it out with you, blow by blow, and, live or
die, '.would give every faculty that belong
ed to her of soul and bodv and estate, to
make it good. Addressing', her through
the justice of your cause and the agonies
of your condition, you asked her for her
heart.- She gave it ; with scarce the re
servation of a throb, she gave it freely and
gave it all. You called upon her for blood.
She took, her children's bosoms and ottered
them to supply it. With her .spirit, with
her appreciation of the grtat principles of
representative and of popular government
which your case involved, and with her
holy enthusiasm in their support, Virginia
would have been utterly "; recreant to her
sell il she had thine anything else or any
thing less than she did..
: But in all this she felt and knew that she
was more than your political . ally more
than your political friend. She felt and
knew that she was your near, natural-born
relation such in -.virtue of your common
descent, but such far more still, in virtue
of the higher attributes of a congenial and
kindred nature. Do not be startled at the
idea of common qualities , between the
American cavalier and the American round
herd. Note. At this point Mr Mc
Dowell's hour having expired, he was
called upon from all parts of the Hall, with
strong emphasis, to , ' go on.' To this re
quest, the committee giving its unanimous
consent, he proceeded. , Do not he startl
ed, Mr Chairman, at the idea of a close
and near relationship between the impetu
ous and haughty, but courteous col nist of
Jamestown, with his intense point of per
sonal honor, and his devotion to all that is
stern, solemn, self denying, almost ascetic
pilgrim of Plymouth. A proud but mis
guided loyalty drives the defenders of the
Stuarts to the shores of the Chesapeake,
that there, in privation ami in poverty, if
need be, they might follow out the impulses
of their own honor ami their own free will,
without let or hindrance from human au
thority A pure, exclusive, un-compro-mising
spirit of religion, that could not
mingle with, anil that would not be con
trolled by the corruptions of earth, drives
a persecuted but a precious people to the
rocks of Massachusetts Bay, that there,
whatever else might betide them, they
could pour out their hearts as they pleased
to Him whom it was the richest of all their
delights to worship and to serve. A heroic
and unconquerable will, differently 'direct
ed, is the pervasive and 'master element
in the character of both. Secondary dif-
the differences of culture a
culture which, in the one case, was direct
ed to train the heart for all that was gay
and glad and animating in life ; and in the
other, to train it for a subdued, chastened,
concentiated spirituality-thesehave thrown
around our ancestors a various costume,
and have Ions exhibited them to one anoth
er and to the world in all the glare of a
pictured and dramatic contrast. But in
that proud and lofty spirit which claims
the human will for itself, which indignan
tly repulses every tlesire or effort to con
trol it, as an unwarrantable and impious
w rong in that . they were thoroughly and
indissolubly one. The same in this quali
ty, so controlling in itself of all Others, it
was impossible for them to be otherwise
than blended by it promptly, harmonious
ly, gloriously, at the very dawn of our
national day. " - - " i -
They were the first, as a consequence,
to proclaim and to resist the aggressions of
ing woe as to mark it cut from all common
curses for the shuddering, the horror, and
the admonition of man. Shrinking from
such a fate as this, and from the causes that
impel to it, we cherish with the deeper
rervor the just and the natural hope that
nere, in tins proud .and honored temple ol
our common liberty, Virginia and Massa
chusetts, bv whose hands and whose wis
dom in chief it was reared in power, will
sit ami worship side by side forever ; that
nere, in the peace ot Heaven and ot each
othei, with Clean hands and pure hearts,
they will always minister in public things,
doing right to all, wrong to none ; that
here they will carry on, to its brightest
consummation, the illustrious career they
have begun, confortingcherishing, support
ing dne another through all the conflicts of
the day, and mitigating, should they ever
come, the convulsions of the last hour by
the soothings of a last- embrace ; thus tes
tifying, for the honor of our national tileli
ty, which there was nothing in the tempta
tions of Government that could corrupt and
nothing but the power of death that could
destroy. . -
Gentlemen, Representatives of Massa
chusetts what say you? Are you agreed ?
Your equals before the Revolution began
your equals when it did begin confe
derated as your equals in 1 777 united as
such in ITSr cooperating with you as such
in the administration of our common coun
try from the declaration ' of, independence
to the present hour, and so confederated,
united, and cooperating with all the local
rights and institutions which are objected
to us now are you agreed that what we
are, and ought to be and must be, we shall
always continue to be, your equals invio
labl yyour equals inviolably your equals
still? Are , you agreed to this? If so,
then, in the sight Heaven and of man, we
shall renew this day a compact, notof
peace only no, no; not only of peace,
grateful as that alone would be but a com
pact of immortality for our country.
- As the powers of this Government, ami
therefore, to a great extent, the destinies
of this country are intrusted officially to
our hands, it is our duty to give all vigi
lance of ear and eye and thought to every
thing that can affect them. It is for us,
then, to be warned by that voice that comes
from all the records of all the past, and
"mes to admonish us, that lost republics
never dies, but abides upon the earth to
enlighten, to improve, and to bless it, yet,
that it never revives to regenerate them
selves. Look at the reptile and the tiuer
! as they have dwelt forages in the habita
tions ot the Holy City ; look at despotism,
worse than either, as it . has nestleJ and
brooded with its raven wing upon the very
bosom of buried republics, and be warned
of that mysterious doom, that evident or
dination from on high, which connects in
eternal fellowship the privileges with the
punishment, of nations, anil never allots
the highest blessings but side with the
heaviest woes. Let us be warned by this
fated conjunction to put away all passion,
and prejudice, and parricide unacknow
ledged but latent parricide from amongst
us, to gather around and press to the side
of our countrv ; to heal . the dialings and
wounds .of her spirit by the unity and fer
vor of our own ; to be ready ourselves to
sacrifice and suffer, if need be, that she
may never sorrow or perish ; and if there
is a curse in all our borders, let it abide,
for the overwhelming f him who cometh
not up in the hour of trouble to succor,
to defend, and to save yes for the over
whelming of him and such as him ; for
where, under. Providence, but upon the
heart the constant and devoted heart
where but .upon . the patriotism and the
virtue of her sons, is the country to rely in
the moment of adversity, or at any time
to rey against the perversion of her own
jnighty elements of good into mighty en
gines of evil? ...
