When about ten years of 'J, t!-,he CM Dr' Be'Vr ;emplyee blmself in keepping a conntrv store, in j . . . , - Ueauchamp immediately accepted the ofTer, and irumoicu IU llllll MIU1IIUII Ulll U fiaO. II tllSlieU 1 his education as far as It wa- necessary before ! f.iu-iuif: vn me. giuoy 01 ine law. lie was now nineteen years of age, and no young man in that section of the country gave greaW promise or future eminence than Jeroboam Beauchamp. With a small sum of money, which he had earned by his industry aud talents, he parted from his old in-tructor and friend, made u short visit td his father, and then hastened to attend the courts at the towns of Glasgow and Bowling Green, with a view, it wonld appear, of listening to the different lawyers, and of deciding under the guidance of which one of them he would prepare himself for the profession which he had chosen. At the tim of young Beauchamp'g visit to the courts of Bowliuf Green and Glasgow, Col. Solomon T ?!iarp was one of the most c lebrated lawyers prartising in that circuit; and equal ly wen Known throughout thn whole State of Kentucky Ha w .s a mail or splendid abilities and gifted with an eloquence which seldom failed to uttain its end. Immediately on hearing Sharp's oratorical elF rts at the bar, Beaurhatnp booaroeonu of hia moat ultmsiaslie armirera He courted Sharp's acquaintance and had come to the coin lusion to enter his effire aa a stu !ent, when circumstances came to light with respect to the distinguished lawyer, which threw the whole community into a' state of excitement, and turned the admiration or Beanchainp into indignation nnd scoru. The circumstances reared to are these: It seems that in early life Sharp had been favored with the patronage and aid of a wealthy nnd respectable family or Kentucky named Cooke. To this family he owed the foundation of all his success. Times, however, changed, the Cooks through misfortune became reduced, and Sharp became rich and distinguished. His first act under this altered state of" affairs, was to repay his debt or gratitude by an act or the blackest baseness. With the glitter or his talents, and with the fairest promises, he seduced Miss Ann Cooke, the daughter of his benefactor, nnd one ' of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies in the neighborhood where she resided. Having betrayed his victim he abandoned her, and not content with this, he sought still further to degrade her by forging a certificate, setting forth that the offspring of his guilt, which had died soon after its birth, was a mulatto. He committed this last infamous act in order to remove the scruples of a Miss Scott, to whom he Soon afterwards paid his addresses, and who, having heard or the affair, rerused to marry him until he explained it to her satisfaction. The certificate when backed by his position and wealth, proved to he an excellent eudorser, and Miss Scott became his wife. In the meantime, Miss Cooke having followed her father and brothers to the grave, retired with an aged mother to a small farm, that she might hide her shame and bury her sorrow ia solitude and seclusion. Such were the developments with regard to Sharp, which young Beauchamp heard at Bowling Green and Glasgow. The story roused all the fiery and chivalrous blood within him, and he turned with loathing from the man whom . but a few days before he had looked upon almost as a superior being. Fuel was soon added to the flame which burnt within him. One of his Most Intimate companions was personally ac """P " " . ' . ' " nation. If he met Sharp in the streets, he red d hi :.h , Iro wn of Indicnation. aud ( refused lo have any further acquaintance to do with him, his health rrom close application was ! fUier huase to recruit his sirengtttt and ihiuk ol" the beaulifuUnJ injured Miss Cooke. he hMrd hJJ he rarln which MiM Cooke haj retired with her mother and a few servants, was iu the immediate neighborhood. Nolwiihstanding he was informed that she received no company, he did not swerve from his resolve. bat immediately proceeded to the house of the fair recluse. He found it a modest dwelling, embowered in the thick wood, aud forming a fitting assvlnm for her who had sought its shelter. He knocked and was admitted. The apartment into which he was ushered was simple in its adornrneuia and furniture, but even in its simplicity displayed the hand of taste. A bookcase Well Sued with books was the principle feature or the room, while the wild flowers of the wood were scattered about in little vases, with the greatest nrofusion. BeuuchamD wailed anxiously for a few momeuts for the lady to enter aad tint him welcome, when the door opened and a servant appeared bearing refreshment, and a message troin Ins mistress that she declined a interview with her gueet. Beauchamp, however, was not thus to be repulsed. His cu -, rlosity to see her on whom his thoughts had so long dwelt, only grew the stronger as ths oh

tncleeto theattalnment of his wishes increased He tlierfore hastily wrote a note with his pencil, begging, that fur particular reasons which e could only explain personally, the would see

him. The note had the desired effect, and the I lady descended to the parlor. When with an easy grace Miss I'ooke entered the room, Beauchamp felt that the description of his friend had not been exaggerated. He gazed on her slender bnt faultless form, on her pale but exquisitely chiselled features and the image. of hie imagination became a reality of beauty, before which he stood for an instant abashed aud confused. The soft mild voice of Miss Cooke inquiring what! Was his pleasure recalled him to his senses, and 1 in a faltering voice he introduced himself as the! son of Mr. Beaiiclmmp, her neighbor; that he j was aware 01 m r wish to live entirely secluded,1 yet iroin all tliat he had heard or her, he Telt an unconqoerahl desire to see her. His own time, he said hun? heavilv on his hands in the retirenient of his father's house and he tv gged of her, ii sue would grant him no other lavor, that she would nernut him In rail and take hiiuk from herlihwrv.

And to go ryde to the market, and sel butler, cheese, milk, eggs, checkyns, capoons, beevs, pigg", geese, and all manner or eornes."

J resistance to this lw. That is easily answered. t TT ... - " nt, win execute toe law at all hezxards. The following items will show how he will act: A letter from Washington in the Richmond Enquirer stales the following incident: "A distinguished gentleman from the West an ex-enator called on Mr. Filmore, and, after exchangitg the usual courtesies, was ssked by the President how the fugitive slave bill was received iu the West. The reply was. that the ( Fillmore would execute this law. -To the execute faithfully the fugitive slave law, and would appoint no man to office, who might be called npon to assist in the administration of that law, who would not zealously co-operate in its execution- .... "On another occasion, we understand, from good authority, that the President declared th law should be executed at every hazard even at the risk or blood.

Whig,: but now the editor of the Knoxville Whig, thus detchbes his new home, Kuoxville: - Kuoxville is a place or interest, upon the whole exhibiting much or faehion no small degree of malice a small spice of religion not much of wealth, but a good deal of borrowed capital--more lawyers thau fees more preachers than grace medlcul gentlemen enough far all reasonable purposes more science than street workers some few abolitionists, and a good many free negroes some literary institutions, and aa equal number or doggies and iu the judgment or impartial men. it is disputed whether the white folks or negroes are constituted authorities of the place! Great city this, we liva iu, and great ago likewise. People dou't laugh here as the hooKiers do in the country wa city folks indulge in merriment. We don't walk we promenade. We don't eat our fo d we masticate. No one in the city has a tooth pulled it is extracted. Fools in the country h4 their feelings hurt people of sense in the city have theirs lacerated. Green horns la the country court the young ladies young men of refinement in the city pay them attention. The vulgar country people visit one another in tbe city ladles and gentlemen of fashion make calls. The hoosiers in the country go to hed at night refilled persons in the city retire to rest. The uncouth natives of the forests iu the surroucding country build houses iu the city men of education and fashion erect them. It is s fine thing to live In the town, and keep op wilh the spirit of the time. The mau or the country toils in the corn and harvest fields, for the bread he eats the free and easy gentleman of the city boys his grain on credit, and pays by mortgaging his property to some one else! The coun try clown comes ten miles in a cart to sell hie chickens the city gentlemen winds Lis way from one store door to another, puffing a cigar purchased on credit. The farmer walks a mile to sharpen his plow the city gentleman walk a hundred yards to find a shade in which to play marbles. The fanner wear jeans clothes-the city gentlemen wears cloth. What a difference between the mau of tlie country and him of the city. Tb Fagitire law ia FrnnaTlraala. The Hanover Spectator thus manfully speaks ou the subject of the fugitive law: However mnch fuss a few editors In Pennsylvania may make about the fugitive slave bill, the great body of the people are in favor or it.And we sincerely believe that none are more so than a vast proportion or the Whig parly. They are sick and lirsd or all thia noise and talk about slavery. And more than all, they know that the law is just aud honest- Adopted in obedience to the requirements or the constitution, and such as is necessary to the peace or the country. And again, the Whigs or tbls State who are disposed to respect the compromises or the constitution, are not willing to desert the lead or such men as Clay, Webster, Fillmore, Crittenden, Cheate and lo follow In the foot steps r the "higher law" gentry.
