This one act of Infamy hhd been sufficient to turn the generous emotions of her nature Into rivers of overflowing gtll, and she panted for vengeance as the panther does for hi prey. The Iron had fairW entered her soul, and

She spoke not moved not groaned, not but her breast labored heavily with suppressed emotion, and there was a quivering anguish beyond what phisical ailment could bes4ow. A prey to the keenest misery, io aeony almost insupportable she found no relief in tears no drop of moisture found Its way to her eyes. The gloomy grandeur of her brow the severe cniseiung 01 me up, migm have served as a model for some ven geful deity. "Once," she exclaimed, speaking aloud, with an energy that shook her frame,"! dreamed I loved 1hee; but now I transcendtly hate I tenounce I abhor thee.' Thou hast converted me from a woman into a demon, and by the soul of my Minted vnothcr, I will have revenge ere I die." She then laid down and tried to sleep, but hr throbbing temples, and heated Mood, rendered the effort vain.

Her brain was in a whirl her blood was in n flame; she had scare a definite notion of what she herself wns about to do. She felt, as one may feel, who endeavors to strain Ihe nerves, shattered by illness, to the endurance of some dreadful, yet necessary pain.

She waited not to g". up.-n the features of the dead; the quivering limbs had hardly stiffened in the icy embrace of death, when she buried a dagger up to the hilt in her own bosom.

The public generally are apprised that aeenrdiii'T io the constitution of ihe state, it devolves upon them next August to elect a person to till that important nihee. hoshall that person hot Are the people prepared to answer ihe question f H ive they reflected and matured this siilject or do they intend tu wait for the nictation ol ofhee seeking and office holding gentry who seek only to make slaves ot th'Mn t Already have the Van Hurci party set their wires to w ork. Ves the plan is wisely laid by them, and all they have to do to effort their object is to draw tho veil over the eyes of tho people. They good honest souls, find themselves in the minority and now begin to cry ilno question ! wo question! Let us put the question down and unite and go in for internal improvements." We warn the people to hewn re of them they are onlyblinding you by soft brotherly declarations that you may become an easy prey to heir deep laid plots. They have raised the huen cry against Lieut. Governor Wnlacc, and say they prefer any man that has been spoken of to him, no matter of what party. The whole object of this pretended opposition to Gov. Walacc is to induce the I larnson party to bring out another candidate in order that they may fi in a man of their own party. We fearthey wit effect their object, Rnd if they do, they will elect a Van iltiren Governor so sure R9 next August comes. What is tn bo dona under such circumstances t We answer unite upon the strangest man and come to the poIi9 as freemen should do and victory is our9. If we fail to do thi9 we will Buret y fall vie-' limn to our own stupidity. j We have received the first and se eond Nos. of the "Common School Ad. vocatk," published at MadisoorIa. by

I opine, friend Justitia, that this Junior, doth not belong to Ihe class of that name, but is a lasy hoy, who belongeth to the Gramnner School, and hath from incapacity, and indolence, made but slight proficiency, in the rudiments though hisst)le haih en ough of the rude in it. If he doth be long to that class called Junior, then truly is he a weak vessel, and his edu cation hath been wofully neglected; for I would not be uuchai itable. enough to suppose, that hii uamct i;ai treatment of ihrtt language caih d English, did arise from any nthercMj-K than ignorance of the wounds thai he inflicted. Though we have i.illen fro!n the purity, and integrity, of our ancestors, yet 1 cannot persuade myself, that the youth of the present day, re sa degraded and malignant, as intentionally, to treat their mother tongue witn such barbarity. Verily, his inquiries do remind me of the Scotch mendicant, who having applied to a rich cili;n for alms, was repulsed with the wordsl 'Go along away, I wont give you nothing." The beggar with evident chagrin and mortification, replied as he turned away; "YVeet ye might, at least, haee refused me in guid English." Truly friend Just itia, our time hath been spent on the consideration of a diminutive thing, antl with thy coun-

On the contrary, if treated properly, he will not draw a single indelicate description. If the friends of Female Inhibitions, have set Junior forwnfd, as lhe defender of their muse, it would be good policy, ns their defences are rather weak, lo man them with a heavier piece of ordenance , if a notion of the tangle and calibre of litis may be formed by the "paper bullets of the brain" which have been already discharged.
