"PERSEVERANCE IS A ROMAN VIRTUE."

Thit this is a Tact, need not, it cannot be denied. The veteran soldier, who leads on his legions from conquest, to conquest, must be endowed with this faculty, else he would never ptuck success from the spear proof crest of rugged war. The tempest tost Maiifcer, when far from home and country, sees his last hopo about to expire at the emphatical words "Don't give up the ship'; - l . 1 A - & At1l

The statesman to whom is entrusted the formation of laws, by which his country is to be bles3ed or cursed, must not shrink before the gaze of his fellow man; but push boldly on in the ranks, where mind grapples with mind; where proud intellect wages its high and bloodless warfare; where he rnav twine for his own brow the wreath

to record a transaction, at once so revolting in its nature, so disgraceful to humanity, and so harrowing to the feelings of friends, as one that lately oc-

curred at Rondsborough, Vt. For several days

previous to Saturday an idle transcient man, who no one knew, had been loitering, about the place. Sometime during that day, Mrs. Ames, the wife —— Ames Esq. and the mother of a highly re-

spectable family, came into the village on horseback to transact some business at one of the stores. Having purchased a few articles she got on her horse and started for home. She had not proceeded far when coming to a hollow in a small piece of woods she was beset by this strange man, pul-

led from her horse and insulted with the most infamous proposals. In a lone and unfrequented spot, beyond the reach of human aid, she found herself dependant upon her own feeble strength to resist this merciless, fiend like monster. —Though

So he who writes for posterity, with the inten

Even after he had perpetrated his hellish purpose,

and his victim was yet writhing in his brutal fangs,

he presented his knife with the intention of finishing his demoniac work by putting an end to her exis-

and in the name of her innocent and tender babes, she implored her execrable destroyer to spare her

life. To this he finally consented, on condition that she should promise not to reveal the affair.—

This done, he fled, and his victim, divested of almost every vestige of her clothing, dragged herself

their greatness. When Napoleon mounted the Alpine cliff, he fancied he saw through the dim perspective, his road to universal empire marked

out; and by "perseverance," he attained a higher eminence in "fame's proud temple" than did any

other mortal man either before or since.

When the dark cloud of war hung lowering

It appears that IV. L. Garrison, the unprincipled agitator of the slave question, is in England collecting funds to aid the "New England anti-Slavery Society," and that he is meeting with considerable success. He denounces the Colonization Society as a scheme of the slave holders, and is pouring out his anathemas upon such names as Mad

British audiences. 2V. il. Patriot. Well Done! A correspondent of the Providence Journal says: At the Warwick Mill near Arnold's bridge, the last week, Miss Hannah B. Baker wove 164 yards of 4-4 sheetings, and received titelve dollars and thirty-one cents for her week's

The Mormons. Some strange proceedings have recently been had by the citizens of Jackson county, Missouri, against this deluded set of fanatics. A large meeting was held at Independence, at which it wa9 resolved that "The Star," a Mormonite paper, should no longer be published that the "keeper of the Lord's store house" should bring no more goods into the country that the rulers in

Israel should use their influence to prevent luture converts and pilgrims from coining up to the habitation of the most high and finally that the wholo heritage should, with all convenient despatch, decamp from the city of Mount Zion. All this the head men of the Mormonite tribe bound themselves by written stipulations, to perform, and the result seems to be that Mormonism, at least in Jackson county, is, for the present, completely nullified. Soberly, however, the proceedings of tho Jackson county meeting appear rather high hmded and irreconcilable with law and justice, and on the whole, are not perhaps the most effectual means of accomplishing the end which the citizens had in view the expulsion of their noisy and troublesome neighbors.

The circumstance is said to have occurred in Tunkhannock, Luzerne County, and is thus narrated.

A short time afterwards the mother sought the child, whom she found a little way from the house amusing itself with feeding the cake to a large rattle snake. The snake, with its head elevated nearly to the height of the child's head, was receiving with much apparent satisfaction from the hand of the unconscious child, the crumbs of cake ?hich it broke off and put into his snakeship's mouth. The alarm of the mother, as might reasonably be expected, was very great on seeing her child put its fingers into the mouth of so dangeToui a creature as the rattle snake; but retaining a proper presence of mind, she persuaded the child to come to her, and then pursued and killed the nake."

It is this day our melancholy duty to announce the death of William Wilberforee, a name with which there is probably associated more of love

ana veneration than ever fell to the lot of any jngle individual throughout the civilized globe. Th sad event look place last night at the house of Mr. Smith, in Cadogan place. Mr. Wilberforee was in the 74th year of his age.

CapcDc Verds. We learn from Captain Mariner, of the brig Zipporah, who left these Islands on the 22dult. that seven cargoes of provisions hid been received there from the U.

Mr. Martin, a merchant at Bonavista, informed him that about 18,000 wns the number that died by starvation in the whole Islands, and not 40,000 as has been stated. Mr. Martin was of opinion that if the rain should fall as usual this month, (Aug.) they would do very well : otherwise they would aain

A person without feet or legs, can perform his task with equal facility as those who have these members, hitherto indispensable in that business.

State Convention. The evident necessity of calling a Convention to nominate candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and appointing delegates to attend a National Convention to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, on the part of the Democratic party of this

with whom we have been conversant. Indeed, as far as we are acquainted, the friends of the adminis

tration, in this State, are unanimous in favor of the

measure. Beiner well assured, that the paramount

interests of our country, and our success in elections

demand concert of action, we ran see no better plan than a selection of delegates from the bosom of the

people, to insure general satisfaction. An early period in the ensuing Legislature has been named as

a time most convenient to ensure a general attendance of delegates from all parts of the state. We hope our democratic friends, throughout the state, who have not thought upon the subject, will take the matter under serious advisement, and be prepared to act when the proper time arrives. Meetings

should be held, at an earlv period, to carrv the

measure into effect. We shall keep the public ad

Isr ael T. Canby. We learn from the last Mercury, that the Government is likely to lose nothing by the defalcation of Doctor Canby, late Receiver of Public Moneys at Crawfordsville. It appears that 'property and cash notes' belonging to the Doctor, have been surrendered to the proper officers by the securities, to an amount sufficient to cover the defalcation. This, if true, is certainly a happy thing for the Government, as well as for the securities, whose property was bound and must have been sacrificed had not a sufficiency of the Doctor's been forth-coming. These gentlemen it seems, have discharged their duty. It is well and wo say, give them full credit for it. To have done less, however,

would have been dishonorable if not dishonest. As to Canby, xce can conceive of no excuse for him. He did not even veed the money ho embezzled. Let

nothing be said in extenuation, for his offence is one which no "particular circumstances" can palliate.
