gious and civil ; and he evinces regard
for his country, by promoting its most
essential good in a painful ministry
dedicated to its service, by deploring
its calamities, and by laying, down his
life for Its benefit. Every one of his
eminent virtues is regulated by con
summate prudence ; and 1 both wina

conciliating loveliness, tenderness and
softness. He now converses wkh pro

next instant he meekly - endures the
dullness of his disciples, and the blas

His courage waa active in encounter-

ted calamities which the malice of his
foes heaped upon him : his fortitude
was remote from every appearance of
rashness, and his patience waa equally
exempt from abject pusillanimity: he
was firm without obstinacy, and hum
ble without meanness. Though pos-
sesVed of the mosV abounded power,"
we UholJ him living continually in a
state of voluntary humiliation and pov-
crty7 we see him daily exposed to al
most every species of want and dis
tress; afflicted without a comforter,
persecuted without a protector; and
wandering about, according to his own
pathetic complaint, because he liad net
where to lay hit head. Though regard-
ess of the pleasures and aemetimesdes-
titute ofthe comfort of life, he never
the misanthrope, or our contempt by the
inactivity of the recluse. His attention
to the welfare of mankind was evidenced
not only by hia salutary injunctious,but
by hi readinea to embrace every op
portunity of relieving their distress, and
administerlne to their wants." In every
period and circumstance of his life, we
behold dignity and elevation blended
with love and pity ; something, which
though it awakens our admiration, yet
attracts our confidence. We see pow
er ; but it is a power which is rather
our security than' our dread apower
softened with tenderness, and soothing
while it awes. With all the gentle-

behold an heroic firmness, which no ;

where 1 waa discharged no bill being

plates on the Branch liank of the U.

the different materials to complete laid

to Kentucky, Livingston county ; but
when I left N. Carolina at the time the
alarm was given, I had 81500 in my

and directed a friend in Kentucky
where to find it, who went and brought
the money to me. I then started from
Livingston county, and went near the
Falla of -Ohio, to get pay for some
horses I had left there. From thence
I wen', by water, with aomc men up to
Wheeling in thelate of Virginia, and
passed some of those Bills 1 mhde. in

This was in 1805 and 1807. After

Several persons being apprehended in
Madison, I got alarmed and left the
country, and went again into the Ch ick

a short time, till I went on the waters
of Canoe creek, and down the Coca
river; thence, late in the summer of
1821, to the cave in Tuscaloosa coun
ty, and commenced cutting the Post
Notes of SI 00. The g2 plate on the
Planters Bank was brought there I
did not like the' engraving, and cut it
anew. I did not cut the 810 plate on
the Nashville Bank, found at the cave ;
but there was about 10 or 12 thousand
dollars pftheriQteifitruck-thereT-as
