The melancholy occurrence detailed In the following letlers should M speak triiroiet-tongued " to our legislators. Can they longer tolerate an evil which threatens the destruction of our social system ? The best members of society men calculated to adorn the circle in which they move, and to render the greatest benefits to their fellow-beings, are daily cut off by their own hands, or drag out a miserable existence, charac terized by uiiociiies which make one's blood curdle in his veins, who have to date their first fault to the establishment ol those infernal dens of infamy, which alas I beguile too fatally the unwary and unsuspecting. Let every young man learn by the result of this fatah ca tastrophe, a moral lesson. Let him be ware lest he become a victim to ft) is de moralizing and baneful passion. If he has unhappily acquired a love for ga ming, let him before he has brought up on himself infamy and disgrace, avoid it. The miserable end of the Unhappy individual, whose lot is here detailed, or one still woiso, will be hif unless tie foreswears the practice Letter (. IVar F you thought if tt forluhate chancy that which after a separation of so nymy years, brought us together in this city no doubt, it was a pleasure for us both, and I havefo regret not to have sought more of your society but mv evil gei.ius has led me through a life Which is far from yoor habits f from the day of my arrival in Jew irleans till within one hour, 1 have spent most of my tim in gamlriir.g shops for shops they arc hcrrj ojwned to etery lipdy, both night and day The consequences you may easily guess at 3 1 am mined, totally ruined, and given up to despair. The first idea of the man, who for getting his duty to his family his friends and society, has abondoned himself to the most delirious of all passions, Gam bling, and thereby lost more than he possessed, is almost in every case Sui cide. Self-destruction is an horrible thought. To devote one's elf to Eter nal torments ; to die the death of a hope Jess reprobate not to dare, at the tnost awful moment, cast an eye abve and implore forgiveness, persuaded that jus tice precludes mercy how tremendous f but for me, to live to live despised by those whom I esteem and love to live, after having sacrificed to a vi e propen sity the happiness of a beloved, amiable and virtuous wife, the well being of six innocent children, the good-will of a nu merous circle of estimable friends, would be a most horrid punishment. To live is impossible. It is true, Mary is so kind, so Tery good, that under any cir cumstances whatever, I would be weW1 corned ; and many of mv neighbors are among those whose good nature I have in certain respects imposed upon, would, I am sure, treat me as if 1 were still woi iliy of . their intimacy ; but that very indulgence is the punishment I dread the most. I have not the courage to go and meet iL I will not, 1 cannot do so. Let rr e diel If I have for a short time hesitated on what 1 should do, it has been, that know ing how feeble Mary is, and how moch a fleeted she will be by my death, I am fully convinced she will not ong sur vive me yet her soul, pure as virgin gold, will be received by the angels of heaven as a kindred spirit mine, oh ! dreadful idea, away with thee. Four of my children are with my good aunt, Mde. it- . She has much to forgive me, but she i incapable of re proaching them with the faults f their unfortunate father ;. may the world like T'i39 have the same indulgence.. It may hz true, it is no doubt so, that tt; Jewish legislator wrote that the sins of the fath er should be visited upon the children) down to the third and fourth, generation ; but lonj after him, an inspired prophet gave word that each one was responsi ble, and alone accountable tor his own transgressions, and it seems to me that the Redeemer himself when, where are my thoughts running ? how do I dare write anything about him whom I have so long neglected to worship? I was claiming, 1 do claim the indulgence of the world for my innocent children It is probable that my little Alexander will contiaue under the care and protection ot ihose friends who now have him un der Their charge. My pretty Josephitie ths youngest of them all, may, live to si ffer and undergo hardships ; and all through my faults -hell itself is too good for the guilty fathefcf thtft' charming babe.; ... . ',. ' J .. And tbon, holy .'woman; fbon who twentyfive years ago fevoied thyself to thy God and hast ever since - spent thy days in an hospital, nursing the sick ; thou, who never forgot thy brother in thy hourly prayers; what will thy feel ings be, when learning his fate; I thought I could not cry ; tears have long been strangers to me, but the idea, the idea of my Jippeless children, of my deso lat wife, recalls them to my eyes. That weakness must be shaken off, else I would not diej and 1 must, I will miser ably perish F prevent, if possible, ttty natae from being echoed and re-echoed in newspapers. Inform Mr. FeY?avc0e avocat, at Roanne, that t am f no more, but give no details ; the same 'thing to Mr. J. Plaits, Esq., Utica, (state of INew York ;) I know that he will take pre caution not to hate thy wife too abrupt ly appiised of the sad tidings he is a friend and there is no better mam " ' One word more you are some how connected with s! daily prtft f .et your voice, let the voice of your co-la brv rers be -raised against gamblers and gambling houses. Those magistrates and legislators who concur' in making the plundering of poor deluded wretch es a lawful business, become the accom plices of the plunderers; and, in de gree participators in all the crimes and nefarious deeds to which the practice of play leads both gamblers and games ters: An income from such a polluted source, for either the state or the city, is of uo account; Let them raise all 4 the money they want by oilier mean., and not license crime and vices. But a few days ago, a poor negro was put to death he. was guilty and deserved his fate, Imt for all the world,, I could- not " have followed the crowd who ran 'o see him suffer. We are strange beings 1 never witnessed a pub ic execution, the mere thought of it always revolted me, and in a few hours I will do away with myself. How happier that wretch was than 'am. Since he committed the fatal deed which led him to the scaffold; he had timo 10 leflWf, to repent, and he was told toplace sofhe reliance in the mercy of Cod but 1 despair of that mercy, I am out of its reach? to' ask for it would be a mockery,- and I do not do so t pltrng into eternal misery ! Do tiemble yori who have been my daily associates for the !ast month, your day will come- D. M. 2d Letter 11th Feb. 1835. Had you F", promised me last evening to come and see me this morn ing yon would have found me a corpse; but you would be excrtsed and I have dragged out a miserable existence 24 hours- longer, which during that time has been a most cruel suffering to me. At the motnent 1 wrfte this, 1 have swallowed the poison,- that carries me into eternitv : and mv hand does not tremble, toy mind is not disturbed. - Io! 1 feei a sort of joy in thinking i am going to meet that pnnfchment which has no end To hate been the hus band of that woman: who possesses all virtues and not a single fault to be the father of six good ami amiable children; 10 belong to a family as 'respectable as mine is and to have berraved as 1 have, merits the most horrid torments. I know it I do myself justice, and wish to escape from my own reflectiorS.- The other world has nothing so terrible. Some friends yourself, may complain of my having borrowed sums, not 60 dollars in all. I would have attempted to procure other loans, and might have (perhaps) succeeded; but it seems to me tht people look at me in the streets and say to one another, "look at that ruined gambler; get out ot his way. I am out of the way of every body. D. M. 3d Letter Wednesday, 11th Feb. If there be courage in committing sui cide with the utmost self possessii 1, then I am courageous but if it be a sign of cowardice not to support existence, then am I one of the veriest cowards? a. - . a - a' Yesterday afternoon, after having warmed myself by the stove in the Planter's- Hotel in canal street, I swal lowed a piece of opium as large as a hazel, nut; it was then F', i wrote the note transmitted in a letter to your address, ; When I reached my room, feeling surprized that a drowsiuefs had not come over me, I chewed and swal lowed opium for a long time, too mhrh perhaps , for 1 saw the day approach without closing my eyes. 1 began how ever to feel drowsy, when Mr. G'f entered to see m, and I could not sleep.- Mr. E. came in afterwards. having heard that I was sick. 1 called (bra cup of tea, which I drank sin the presence of the servant who brought it to me. am was scarcely out of ths room when I vomited considerably aud without dmibt the greater portion of the opium which I took was thrown off my Momach. , There remained in my pos session some ' more opium, .. but to take it all at once would only expose me to vomit again. 1 waited for, two or .three hern s, and t ten took a very, small piece which I swallowed with a mouthful of water which made me again vomit; my stomach was still sickta quarter of an hours passed when 1 took a piece about the size of a white bean it was at lhat moment you canit to see me.
