meet the case now proposed in the negotiation
with Mexico, and eo, it may be, that the (Tabi
net will strive to escape from the Democratic
censure which the speech of Mr. Secretary Da
yis brouzht upon it.
The doctrine of the Administration on the
subject is nolaid down in the Union to be.
that the General Government has no power of
itself to build the road wuun any of the atate",
but only in the territories : and that even if the
States consented, it could not do it, for, it says,
"if the power does not exist without the consent
ot a State, ib-cariuot be conferred by its con
sent.' Well this is very decided, but how does
it correspond with the doctrine laid down by
Secretary Davis at hie speech 7 The following
is an extract from a corrected copy of the speech,
as published in the Union
' "He had said that he was a strict coantruction
ist : but he had always mocked the idea that
the constitution" had one construction within
the limits of the United States and another out
side of them, tl Applause. He bad always
repelled the supposition that this Government
couia puna a roau outsiae 01 tne u miea states,

to provide for the common defence, to concen-
irate tne power ot au ior me protection 01 eacn,
to-thxow their united shields over every State,
over every locality, over every ship and individ

How is this doctrine to be reconciled with
that now announced in the Union ? What says

xne nistory 01 tne epidemics wi wjc p
or five years, so far as they have been written,
very strongly incline as to this conclusion. Pos
sibly the obstructions which quarantine laws
offer to commerce, the inhumanity of keeping
confined between decks the siek who arrive from
sickly ports, and who need nothing for their re
covery but pure air and hospital nursing on
shore ; the cruelty of confining for weeks to the
presence of the infected and dying, those wno
arrive in the same ships, but wbithont the slight
est taint of infection upon them, perhaps these
considerations, as much as a critical examina
tion of facts, have disposed the world to this
theory.
But why is it a disputed question ? What is
lacking ? Is it a scarcity of facts ? For the
last year, yellow fever nas been raging with
great violence on the coast of Sooth America,
and in many of the West India Islands, llayti
has been almost desolated. At Jamaica, Dema-
rara, Antigua, it has raged with great fatality,
It is vet enrrvinz off crowds irom tne popuia
tion of Cuba. Slaves and masters, officers and
seamen, the commandants of our American ves
sels, the officers of the English men-of-war, and
tindrr of our Consular representatives have
died of it. It has reached JNew-Urleans, wnere
the number of deaths have exceeded two hun
dred a day, and the numbers that die daily do
not yet diminsh. One would suppose that these
were facts enough, if the medical professian had
done its duty, to have suggested all the laws of
the disease, and laid bare to the philosopher
every principle of its action. Medical philoso
phy owes it to itself to study these facts; to
group the isolated, yet multitudinous ones, that
regard its origin and cause, and deduce the law
of its propagation. Certainly, there are mo
tives enough to stimulate to the most thorough
examination; Property to a large amount de
pends upon it ; the lives of whole communities
are staked. We trust that Medical Societies,
Academies and Associations will make this a
practical question, and give us the benefit of
their reasoning and enlightened conclusions on
it.
As we just now are situated, it makes little
difference whether or not it is contagious. So
far as we can see, the very condition exists that
most favors the development of the plague. If
it ever is generated in a spot which reeks in filth
and swelters with heat, here, close by the sea
board, is such a miserably dirty spot. The wi
sest can give no reason why the yellow fever
should not appear, among us at any day. There
is a rumor that some dozen cases have been
for a few days back under treatment at the
Quarantine Hospital. If it it contagious, and
if it ha appeared on Staten Island, the distance
of Quarantine from the city would, with the
thousand facilities that infection has for beiDg
brought, wafted, or floated up, interpose about
as much of a barrier as a six-rail fence would
between a lot of exploding rockets and a keg of
open guD powder, tor tne comtortof their lives,
nervous citixens would do well to adopt the non
contagious theory, though to those who cannot
conscientiously do ap, we would commend the

happy ourselves to believe that the first case has
cot yet appeared anywhere in our vicinity
And moreover, if it is not presumptuous, we are
quite as happy in the belief that, though a ship

Ticonpxrooa, April 1, 1777.
Dear Brother I have for some time given o
ver all expectation of receiving any more letters
from any of my friends. I will do them the
justice to believe that they have not forgot me,
but owing to some fatality none of their favors
ever reach here. I hope those from me pass
safe.

men and two officers killed and made prisoners
by a body of Indians headed by a British officer
One of our people made his escape the second
day after his capture and says that the enemy
are all oolleoted at Montreal, Charmelle, (prob
ably Chambly,) St John's and 'their vicinity,
waiting ready to come on in full force as soon
as the lake opens.
Before this reaches you we shall have a free

to all the Eastern States to push on their troops

to offer. Heroically said for a fellow who has
not a thousand men on the ground (but this
in confidence.)
I am constantly employed in maneuvering
them, and have selected three hundred on
whom I can depend ; so that in case of an at
tack even in the present debilitated state of
this garrison they will not carry it without
the loss of much, very much human, gore.
My. situation as commandant of this post
would subject me to insult and contempt as a"
prisoner. The motley appearance of the troops
would justify it, being one-third children and
little boys wretchedly clothed and more wretch

C The desire Of mair' to.-'bo, remembered afto
death; manifests itseff no where, tnors'stronglj,
than in the monoments' and epitaphs of the de
parted The great variety , of these strikes
every-visiter of a church-yard. Some of the
epitaphs are long and detailed; exhibiting, in
forcible terms of panegyric, the virtues and
talents which were not sufficient to save i their
possessor from the common lot of humanity.
There are those who are disposed to criticise
with severity glowing laudations of the - dead,
on tombstones ; but charity demands that we
should recollect that these inscriptions are dic
tated by those to whom the departed were, in
every sense, the chief objects pf their respect and
affection, and that love and gratitude sometimes
dictate a momorial whieh a rigid taste would
condemn.' In the old grave-yard -'on Second
street, there is a monument, which ie, hf itself,
a handnnras Ktmntara. bnt which bears upon it
an inscription that speaks at once to the heart
even ot an entire stranger, mere is about mat
inscription no pomp of language no extrava
gance or eulogy no affectation of eloquence ;
and yet, comprising but two simple words, they
eause every string of the soul to vibrate in uni
son with the grief of persons it has never
known ; they send back the memory to the
sunshine and flowers of life's Bpring time ; they
make the frame tremble, as though the stream
of life had congealed at its fountain . This
laconic, yet touching inscription, is " OUR
MOTHER!" But, as we have said before, one
cannot help being struck, on visiting a grave
yard, with the variety of monuments and de
vices. The broken oolunin ; the hour glass,
with its sands run out ; the extinguished torch ;
the rose, with a worm at its heart; the urn; the
scythe, cross bones and skull these are some
of the symbols which proclaim the victory of
death. There are others, however, which repre
sent Death in the mixed character of the con-
Jueror and the conquered, which yield him the
aurels of triumph over the body, bnt snatch
from him the palm of immortality for the soul.
Such are the emblems by which we learn that
the early Christians relieved even the gloom of
the Catacombs, in every part of which, says
Maitland, " there were emblems of various
kinds, manifestly copied from the Heathen art ;
but everywhere they were redeemed by the
presence of the crots, or the sacred monogram,
or the heaven speeding ship, cruciform or the
anchor, universal emblem or faith, or the sea
monster disgoiging Jonah, with a booth, fit em
blem of Paradise, prepared on the land to receive
him." It is said, that in the middle ages, the
"devices upon tombs were of a less mixed char
acter, and epitaphs of a turn more penitential
than at the early period, thus :
"In conformity with this inscription," says
the authority to which we are indebted for these
facts, " are those figures so often found upon
more elaborate monuments, of knizhts and
bishops, with clasped hands, and eyes uplifted
to Heaven. Where sculpture is used, nothing
could be more appropriate and impressive. The
' how long, O Lord !' and ' th y kingdom come !'
seem expressed in their very posture." De

A YOUNG AMERICAN CANDIDATE FOR
THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE.
The following address to the voters of Gal
veaton county, by Colonel Jack Mills, a noted
character in Texas, and a candidate for legisla
tive honors, is one of the richest things we have
seen for many a day. It needs no comment.
It speaks for itself. It defines the doctrines of
"Young America," in racy style, and show9
very clearly how vast agolf there is between
"Young America" and Old Fogyism. We
shall not be surprised to hear that this modest
candidate is successful in his aspirations to a
seat in the lexan Legislature :
TO THE TOTIRS OK GALVESTON COUNTT.
I have been strongly urged by my numerous
friends (who are all A. No. I) to become a can
didate to represent you in the next Legislature
Like a true patriot, I have consented to sacri
See my private interest to the public good.
Without vanity I may say all who know me
will admit that if elected I will originate and
execute many acts in Austin that no one of the
candidates before you will attempt. I pledge
myself that I will keep a watchful eye over the
morals of legislation and legislators. No one
who knows me will doubt, if I choose to exercise
the power, that members will be compelled to
observe the rules 01 propriety, instead of indul
gmg, as 1 tear is too otten the case, in noctur
nal revels, at improper places and unseemly
hours. Reform is necessary. I am the man
to effect it in fact, the only man that can and
will do it.
I am a Jeffersonian Jackson Democrat. In
truth. I was so born.
I am progressive. I may say a fast one.
I go lor the greatest good to the greatest
number.
I am in favor of giving Tiomes to the home
less, and houses to the houseless.
I advocate the education of the masses, by
a tax upon wealth. f
I .believe that earth, air, and water, area gift
of the good God to all. That all are entitled
to as much as is necessary for their use. More
than this is a monopoly, and I oppose all mo
nopolies. t .
I am in favor of banks, if a plan can be in
vented to establish one to loan money to the
poor, indttetriotts, honest man, without securi
ty. I am a "Young American." I adopt their
boundary East by the rising and the West by
the setting sun ; North by the Arctic Expedi
tion, and South as far as we please. Thjs ia
a great country, and less than this would not
suit our purposes. I abhor old fogies, whether
as politicians, warriors, husbands, or lovers.
I wish this distinctly understood.
I disavow the creed of "all things unto all
men," but adopt it decidedly as regards the la
dies. I am for woman's rights on the largest scale.
If we do not yield them equality, I fear they
will refuse to multiply and replenish the earth,
as they have threatened to do. And every un
prejudiced mind must admit they become our
wives not to pleasure themselves, but ns. I
am too modest to enumerate all my good quali
fications for office. I leave all self-praise to
my competitor. I think, however, without
vanity, I may say that, if elected, I will be
more distinguished than any representative
you have had. You all will be proud of me.
My name will be familiar to all, and daily seen
in public prints.
I am an old Texan one of the founders of
Galveston. I have shed mueh blood for the
good of the people. I have done the State some
Service. I ask in return your votes; I will see
most of you before the election, and will ad
dress you before the public

is a terrible atorr. from Barke's Family
Romance,' showing how the Scotts of Thirle-J
stamr came to- Deggary." is au aiwwuiiup
sovel in half a'olumn, Sir Robert's second
wifo was ah unprincipled woman; of vindictive
temper and fierce passion r-.and by her he had '
several children. This woman had all the quali
ties ealcuJated to make an-oppressive step-daine;
and accordingly ,Jier jealousy was excited by
the fond affection which,' Sir Robert displayed
towards bis oldest son. She knew that his rich
inheritance would descend to him, while hef
own sons would receive a very slender provi
sion ; besides, he husband's excessive attach-,
ment to his eldest son gave her no hope of his be
ing persuaded to-alienato from him any portion
of the family property. Her jealousy according
ly grew into a disease, and her mind was dis
tracted, with rage and mortification. These feelr
ings were still further aggravated, when Sir
Robert built th Tower of Gameelceugh, and
adorned that property with all manner of em
bellishments, as the future residence of bis ol
dest son, who was now about to come of age,
and for whom be had arranged a suitable and
advantageous matrimonial alliance with a beau
tiful young lady of high birth. " Ths step-mother
now lost all patience, and was firmly resolved
to compass the destruction of her hated step-son.
The mason-work of the new castle of Gamesl-
ceugh was completed on the young Laird's
twentieth birth-day, which was held as a high
festival atTbirlestane. The lady resolved that
his hours should now be numbered ; and she
accordingly prepared, on the intended festival,
to execute her horrid purpose. She had already
secured to her interest the family piper, whose
name was John Lally. luis man procured three
adders, from which he selected the parts replete
with the most deadly poison, and having ground
them to a fine powder. Lady Thirlestane mixed
them in a bottle of wine. Previous to the com
mencement of the feast at Thirlestane, the young
Laird went over the tit trick river to Uamscleugh,
to inspect the finished work, and to regale the
masons and other work-people who had exerted
themselves to have the castle walls completed
by his birth-day. lie was attended by John
Lally. In the midst of the entertainment of the
workmen, the young Laird called for wine to
drink their healths ; and John filled his silver
cup from the poisoned bottle, which the ill-fated
youth hastily drank off. The piper immediate
ly left the castle aa if to return home. But ho
was never more seen. The most diligent search
failed in discovering him ; and it is supposed
that he escaped across the English border.
Young Thirlestane was instantaneously taken
violently ill, and such was the force of the poi
son that he swelled and burst within an hour.
The news was immediatly carried to Thirlestane,
where a large party of the kith and kin of Scott
had assembled to do honor to the festival. But
it may" easily be conceived what a woful gath
ering it turned out to be. With one accord, the
guests felt and said that the young Laird was
poisoned, but were unable to conceive who could
have done so foul a deed to one so universally
beloved. The old Baron immediately caused a
bugle to be blown, as a signal to all the family
to- assemble in the castle court. He then in
quired. "Are we all here ?" A voice from the
crowd answered, "All but the piper, John Lal
ly !" This sounded like a-knell in the ers of
Sir Robert. He knew the confidence which his
lady placed in this servant. His eyes were at
once open to toe toul deed, and the conviction
that his most dear and beloved son had been
slain by the machinations of his wife, shocked
his feelings so terriblj that he was almost de
prived of reason. He stood very lone in a state
of utter stupefaction, and then began to repeat
tne answer wmch ne had received. And this
1 1 . ta -m-r
ne continuea to ao ior several days. "We are
all here but John Lally, the piper !" Sir Rob
ert lived in a lawless time, justice was not right
ly administered, and it was difficult to punish
;he crimes of the powerful and noble. More
over, oir KoDert could not be induced to seek to
make a publie example of his own wife. How
ever, he adopted a singular and complete,
though most unjust, method of vengeance. He
said that the estate belonged of right to his son,
and that since he could not bestow it upon him
while living, be would at least spend it upon
him when dead. And he moreover expressed
great satisfaction at the idea of depriving his
iady and her offspring of that which she had
played so foul a part to secure to them. The
body of the young Laird was accordingly em
balmed with the most costly drugs and spices,
and lay in state at Thirlestane for a year and
a day ; during the whole of which time Sir Ro
bert kept open house, welcoming and royally
feasting all who chose to come. And in this
way of reckless and wanton profusion he ac
tualy spent or mortgaged bis entire estate.
L While the whole country, high and low, were
thus teasting at ibirlestane, the lady was kept
shut up in a vault of the castle, fed upon bread
and water. During the last three days of this
extraordinary feast, the crowds were immense.
It was as if the whole of the south of Scotland
was assembled at Thirlestane. Butts of the
richest and rarest wines were carried into fields,
the ends were knocked out with hatchets, and
the liquor was carried about in stoups. The
burn of Thirlestane literally ran red with wine.
The vault where the young Laird was interred is
under the roof of the church of Ettrick, which
is distant from Thirlestane upwards of a mile ;
and so numerous was the funeral procession,
that when the leaders had reached the; church,
those in the rear had not nearly left the eastle
gates. Sir Robert died soon after this, and left
his family in utter destitution. It is said that
his wicked lady died in absolute beggary."
A Canini Critic. An amusing story is told
of a youug Parisian artist, who lately painted a
portrait of a duchess, with which her friends
were not satisfied, declaring that it was totally
unlike. The painter, however, was convinced
that he had succeeded admirably, and proposed
that the question of resemblance or no resem
blance should be left to a little dog belonging
to the duchess, which was agreed to. Accord
ingly the picture was sent to the hotel of the
lady the next day, and a large party assembled
to witness the test. The dog was called in, and
no sooner did he see the portrait than he sprang
upon it, licked it all over, and showed every
demonstration of the greatest joy. The tri
umph of the painter was complete, and all
present insisted that the picture had been .re
touched during the night, which was actually
so, the artist having rubbed it over with a thin
coating of lard I The dog's nose was sharper
than the critics' eyes.
"I don't see," said Mrs. Partington yester
day, as Ike came borneTn m school and threw
his books into one chair and his jacket into a
nother, and his cap on the floor, saying that he
didn't get the medal : "I don't see, dear, why
you didn't get the meddle, for certainly a more
meddlesome boy I never knew. But no matter
when the adversary comes round again you'll
get it." What hope there was in her remark
for him 1 And he took courage and one of the
old lady's doughnuts, and sat wiping his feet
on a clean stocking that the dame was pre
paring to darn, that lay by her side.

done their guilty race of mischief, but of a medicine
long established, universally prized, and which has
met the hearty approval of the faculty itself."
