Ftotn. " the Curtis' - Heeoliectfons and Private Memoirs of t&e Life and Character of Washington." Of the lamented patriot and statesman, James Madison, it was once remarked to the first President of the United States, 44 How does it happen, sir, "that we do not observe the name of Mr. Madisoh a mong the appointments of foreign ambassa dors, or as selected to fill an important sit uation under the home Government ? This seeming omission appears the more" strange from the friendship arid attachment that is so well known to subsist between Mr. Madison and yourself." Washington replied : Ad to a foreign embassy, the best in the gift of-the Execu tive (they were, in those days, England, France, and Spain,) have been tendered.to Mr. Madison over and over again, while his extreme repugnance to a sea voyage renders his going abroad cut of the ques tion ; and, as to the home appointments, there is not one that would be deemed worthy of Mr. Madison'3 acceptance, that he does not well know is, and from the commencement, of the Government always has been, entirely at his service." It was during a time of considerable po litical excitement that ; Mr. Madison had a large dinner party of members of Congress and others. The conversation took a r.ith er free turn, and public men and public measures were discussed without reserve. Mr. Madison held up his hand and re marked: 44 Pause, gemlemen,if you please. While I admit that, in a republican country like ours, the acts of public men from the highest to the lowest, are alike open Jo fair and liberal investigation, permit me to say that the personal character of General Washington, his eminent virtues, and matchless services to his country, must, under my roof, always be treated with the most profound respect." During the latter days of the venerable sage of Montpelier, he was wont to delight his numerous guests with relations of by gone men and tilings. Speaking of our happy Constitution to a distinguished per sonage, he remarked: After the peace of 1783, we were in great confusion in politi cal respects. It was agreed on all hands that our old system would do no longer, and many of the best and wisest of the land became the advocates of a more na tional system of polity : the States of the old Confederation to cede certain powers to . a General Government, so as to form a Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary for the Union. But' how to organize a con vention to form a Constitution for the new Government, when o many conflicting in terests, sectional and otherwise, were in the way, was a matter of no ordinary dif ficulty. All eyes were turned towards him, who, retired from the great events of the Revolution, was enjoying a well earned repose smid the shades of Mount Vernon. Could we but enrol the name of Washing ton among the delegates to a convention, under such favored auspices, our success in the formation of a new , Government was certain. And, yet, it seemed ungenerous, nay, almost unkind, so soon to call this il lustrious citizen from his beloved retire ment, after his mighty labors in the war of Independence. An application was made to him through a highly confidential medium : it was respectfully received, but at once declined. Nolhing daunted.we re turned to the charge ; and, as every one knows, finally succeded. The patriot could not resist the united call of his coun trymen. He repaired to Philadelphia, and presided in the convention. The Consti tution was formed, and afterwards adopted by the States, and thus did the great name and character of Washington, in peace as in war, shed the most happy and benign influences upon the destinies of his coun try." A Merry Fellow. The Editor of the Savannah Georgian, must be a right jolly fellow but we must dissent from his in culcation of "pouring spirits down lo keep spirits up." In some respects he talks like a genuine philosopher. Hear him! 44 Truly money is a scarce commodity in these our days. In these tunes there is one consolation left, however to be poor is to be respectable, and to be rich is to be vulgar. Why, you can't find a man that will admit that he is rich. Even the best dressed equ site that walks the Bay, or, the most comfortably gouty old gentleman who moves about, cane in hand, and who ever had the reputation of full pockets, i will tell you, if you ask them, that they are as poor as church mice that they have not a dol lar!
