SPRING.
Hail! Spring thy mgic charms, suspend
Themselves on wings of light;.
Thou'rt come ruul to our sadness lend,
Thy soft, enliv'ning might.
All nature, wrapt in shade of night,
'Neath wiiiter's darkness dome:
Bow homage to tluc, and-delight
To say thou'rt come, thou'rt come.
Thy flight had left our minds a prey,
To s tdness' dire control ;
Grave melancholy sealed his sway,
Than polar ice, more cold.
Hut time on airy wings has bornfc
Our sadness to a term,
Our hearts exult at thy return,
And pluck with joy thy germ.
Creation, buoyant, 'neath thy smiles,
Its ecstacy displays;
Bids wariness disband its wiles,
And gambols in thy rays.
Thy kind approach, we joyous, hail,
And bask us, in thy sway;
Our minds to move it ne'er can fail
And render nature gay.
LOVE AND WINE.
Here's a health to blue-eyed Ada,
Whom mv heart hath c'.erih'd loner.
Here's a health to dai k-hair'd Isabel,
The fancy child of song:
They are worthy of the choicest cup,
That ever lip could drain
Like their own bright spirits sparkling,
Tis a cup of pure champaignc.
Here's a health to queen-1'kc Florence,
With her proud and lofty brow
Here's a health to laughing Viola
Her laugh is silent now;
Yet they bsth had power to cheer me
With their light and frolic sport
Here's to one in prime madeira,
And the other in good old port.
Here's a health to blushing Constance,
Here's a health to wild Adel,
Here's a health to sportive Angela,
And her cousin Gabvicllc;
I've known them 'midst the forest shades
And 'mid the mazy Ia:ice
I've pledged them in the lightest wines
Of bl ight and sunny France.
Here's a health to thee, Ianthe,
Whom my heart so well hath proved
Thro' pain and pleasure, weal and woe,
Last named, but best beloved.
Here's health to thee but stay, my lips
Have drain'd each mantling bowl
So 1'il pledge thee in a purer one,
The deep fount of the soul.
THE COKKKSPONDKNCE.
From the Salisbury Carolinian.
The long looked for and
anxious expected publication
of the correspondence touching
the personal dilierenccs be
tween the President and Vice
President has at length made
its appearance in namnhlet
i
shape, issued by the Vice Pres
ident in vindication of his con
duct in relation to the affair of
the Seminole war, and in repul
sion of the calumnies which are
afloat to his prejudice relative
to his course in the cabinet
and his subsequent relation of
the transaction to the President.
As to the character of the con
troversy and the motives for
"reviving it at this distant peri
od of time we have never had
but one opinion. We are sor
ry, very sorry, that any differ
ence of opinion either personal
or political (for the present
controversy partakes of both
characters) should have been
created between Genl. Jackson
and Mr. Calhoun. It may lead
to unpleasant consequences.
It behoves the people to look
10 this split between the Presi
dent and Vice-President. A
deep scheme for destroying the
party at present politically as
cendant is cloaked tinder this
successful attempt to set these
two distinguished personages
"together by the ears." In em
broiling the President and
Vice President in personal
difficulties (knowinrr luat jjs.
pines of that character operate
rnore powerfully upon the hu
man heart than any other, they
hope to overturn the settled
policy of .the country and to
bring into power an adminis
tration of the opposite political
stamp. With these reflections
which irrefutably force them
selves upon us we will proceed
to sum up the several branches
of this singular dispute, and to
lay a condensed statement of
the whole affair before our rea
ders, offering such observations
as mny be suggested to us by
the nature of the disputes, the
character of the disputants with
the evidence adduced by Mr.
Calhoun who is acting on the
defensive, and which is the oidy
testimony in our possession,
h appears that on the 30th A
pril 1830, Mr. Crawford in a
letter to Mr. Forsyth, Senator
from Georgia, with some view
not set forth in the letter, uses
the following language:
"My apology for having disclosed
what passed in a cabinet meeting is
thi: In the summer after that meet
ing, an extract of a letter from Wash
ington was published in a Nashville
paper, in which it was slated that I
had proposed to arrest Genl. Jackson,
hut that he wis triumphantly defend
ed by Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Adams.
This letter, I always believed, was
written by Mr. Calhoun, or by his
directions. It had the desired effect.
General Jackson became extremely
inimical to me, and friendly to Mr.
Calhoun."
This was attended with an
exposition of the course taken
by Mr. Calhoun in the Cabinet
Council which Mr. Calhoun
noes not uisrruise. Jin nronn- 1
I .1 w w
c . r ,
sed that an enquiry should bo '
hud into General Jackson's con
duct of the Seminole War,
since he had, as all readily ad
mitted, been guilty of a viola
tion ot orders in occupying St.
Marks and Pensacola. In do-
ins so, he did not consider his
course inimical to Genl. Jack
son but such as the honest dis
charge of his duties imperiously
demanded. lie was the prop
er officer (Secretary of War)
to inspect the conduct of the
officers of the army, and it was
his province as the Head of the
war department no less than
his duty a a good public ser
vant to speak out his opinions
when called upon for their ex
pression. We did not suppose
that General Jackson would
cast any censure upon Mr.
Calhoun for the honest and
faithful discharge of his duties
as Secretary of War. This
letter of Mr. Crawford's from
which we have made the fore
ffoing extract was put into
Genl. Jackson's hands, who, in
his letter to Mr. Calhoun en
closing a copy of this corres
pondence, expresses great as
tonishment at its contents.
General Jackson would appear
from his letter to have been
perfectly uninformed as to the
true course of Mr. Calhoun in
Mr. Monroe's Cabinet. The
extent of his information upon
that head, according to his own
statement, was confined entire
ly to the conclusions drawn
from the following extract of a
letter from Mr. Calhoun to
himself: "I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of
your letter (fee. and to acquaint
you with the entire approbation
of the President of all the mea
sures you have adopted to ter
minate the rupture with the
Indians." And from the fol
lowing extract of a letter from
Mr. Calhoun to Gov. Bibb of
Alabama in which he says
Genl. Jackson "is cloathed
with authority to conduct the
war in the manner he might
judge best." The letter to
Gov. Bibb bears date some time
after Genl. Jackson had taken
possession of St. Marks and
subsequent to the period at
which ; he had determined to
occupy t Pensacola, but as Mr.
Calhoun justly observes ''he
would nut reason the point," it
being loo palpable ami selfcvi
denfto reason about, "that this
letter could give Genl. Jack
son any authority to occupy
those posts:" With regard to
thn latter extract from Mr. Cal
houn's letter of theGth Februa
ry 131b1 in answer to one of
Genl. Jackson's of the 20th
January previous, in which he
says, as before extracted, "that
all the measures which he had a
dopted to terminate the rupture
with the Seminole Indians met
the approbation of the Prcsi-.
dent," it is but proper to state
here that Genl. Jackson has
failed again to pay strict atten
tion to chronology.. It will be
found that the letter of Genl.
Jackson's of the 20th January
wa3 written from Nashville
"iving the outlines of his inten
ded expeildition, to which Mr.
Calhoun's of the Gth February
following was in answer. The
occupancy of St. Marks and
Pensacola was not then in con
templation and probably not so
much as thought of by Genl.
Jackson, so that Mr. Calhoun's
letter cannot be made to have
reference to an undertaking
which had never been sugges
ted by any body, certainly not
bv Genl. Jackson. Mr. Cal-
hotin in that letter approved ot

chalked out in his expose of the
as
20th Jan'y Genl. Jackson does
not intimate that Mr. Calhoun
ever suggested to him, or that
he supposed upon any other
'ground than we have just men-
Honed, that air. Oaluoun had
in the first place sustained his
occupancy of the Spanish Post
in the Cabinet. This, then
upon the tacit admission ot
Genl. Jackson, relieves Mr.
Calhoun from the charge of
duplicity. Mr. Calhoun can
ma be guilty of duplicity where
he never took any pains to cre
ate an impression of any kind,
apart trom the evidence relied
upon in the two extracts given
from Genl. Jackson's letter to
Mr. Cahoun, which we have
explained away upon internal
evidence the evidence of the
dates of the correspondence.
We ask of all candid men
what part, of the odium of this
transaction is to be attached to
Mr. Calhoun! He acted with
independence and without con
cealment. To use the mildest phrase he
lias certainly convicted Mr.
Crawford of making contradic
tory statements. Mr. Craw
ford alleges as his excuse for
divulging the confidential de
liberations of the cabinet tin
publication of this extract of a
letter trom Washington nublish-
in a inastivuie paper, air.
Calhoun establishes by tin
testimony of Mr. McDuffie that
iui. iviawioro on his way to
Georgia after the cabinet meet
ing and before the publication
of this extract in a Nashville
paper, did speak of both hi
own and of Mr. Calhoun's
course at the cabinet meeting
so that Mr. Crawford is dnnrl
ved of the benefit of his excuse,
that the publication in the
iNashville paper imposed upon
him the necessity of revcalm
the cabinet secrets. r
Murder. The Catskill (N.
l.) Recorder says: O,, Mon
day last a man by the name of
Morris Welsh, was committed
to jail in this county, for tho
murder of his own child an
infant, four or five days old.
Morris has for some time past
resided in the town of Coxsac
kie. The circumstances, a.
we are informed, are these:
Un F riday evening of last week,
Morris rclurned home, (proba-
Uv intoxicated,) and common -
i i,.aw oriii 21 r l ; i n i 1 1 uir
wife. He then seized his in
fant child, and one by one,
broke the bones of its fingers
and arms struck it on the
head with his fist, and at last
threw it jn the fire. The child
was discovered' to bo missing,
and the suspicion of the neigh
bors were excited. Search was
made, and on Sunday morning
the mutilated, and half burnt
body of the child was found
concealed under the floor of the
house. Some difficulty, was
experienced in apprehending
Welsh. When he found it
was intended to arrest him, he
armed himself with an axe, and
retreated, thrcalning to kill any
person who came near. lie
was pursued by the neighbor
hood, for more than a mile,
and finally taken.
